tommasoi've got some problems with the flash player on firefox00:27
tommasoit works fine in the beginning, audio and video perfect then suddenly the audio stops playing00:28
James147_tommaso:have you tryed reinstalling flash? some that have reporrted no sound found that worked00:28
James147_tommaso: although not sure why it worked then just stoped :S00:29
tommasojames: it happens after an hour or two, it works than stops working. how can I reinstall the flash player? i installed it through firefox00:29
tommasoif I close firefox and restart it, it solves the problem but then it happens again, not soon, but after a certain amount of time00:31
James147_tommaso: if you installed it through firefox then maby in firefoxs addons manager... otherwise try "sudo aptitude purge flashplayer-installer flashplayer-nonfree"00:31
James147_tommaso: then "sudo aptitude install flashplayer-installer00:32
tommasojames: in the addons I can disable it but uninstall thought00:33

tommasoanother problem I have: my current resolution is 1360/768. it is selected correctly in the ubuntu's display settings. the problem is that when I log in the system, it doesn't load the correct resolution. but if I go to the display menù, the mere thing of starting it makes ubuntu "remember" the resolution I selected before and it automatically switches to that. how can I make ubuntu "remember" when the system starts without going to the display settings?00:41

=== mark_ is now known as linuxbomb
James147tommaso: what graphics card do you have>00:43
manierek00:45
tommasojames: ati radeon x500. I think it supports the resolution I'm using00:46
James147tommaso: its an weird resalution, standard ones tend to be 1280x768 or 1024x76800:48
tommasojames: ubuntu seems not to be able to load the resolution at startup. BTW: I'm using an external monitor since my laptop monitor doesn't work, maybe that is the problem00:49
tommasoI forgot to mention this thing earlier, sorry00:49
James147tommaso: and you have to go to system settings >display to resize it every reboot?00:50
tommasojames: yes it is weird, because my monitor is a small widescreen but it is the suggested resolution.00:50
tommasojames: yes I have to do so but I don't have to change the settings, I just need to open the window and it resizes automatically00:51
James147tommaso: only thing i can suggest is to edit your xorg.conf file00:51
James147tommaso: but you will have to look up how to do that as i dont know enough about it to help you very well00:52
James147tommaso: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 might help00:53
tommasojames: i think the problem is the laptop screen, ubuntu detects first the laptop screen which is still active (but with no light) and it applies the lapton resolution to my external screen00:53
James147hmm00:53
tommasowhen I go to the settings ubuntu becomes aware of the correct resolution and resizes it automatically00:54
tommasoi tried to disable the laptop screen but it doesn't save the setting after rebooting00:54
tommasoi have to disable it manually every time00:54
James147tommaso: not sure how to get it to auto detect an external monitor00:55
tommasojames: yes i think that what I should get ubuntu to do00:55
tommasothank you the same00:55
tommasojames: i think the solution would be editing the Xorg conf file as you said but I don't think I'm able to do it00:58
James147tommaso:my laptop dose the same thing00:59
James147tommaso: there may be a workaround useing xrand01:00
James147xrandr01:00
tommasoi guess using an external monitor instead of the laptop screen is not a common situation01:00

tommasois there a way to add the display menu to my start up menu so that I have to do just one click to resize the resolution?01:05
James147system settings > advanced > auto start... but i am looking into a xrandr to see if that can do it01:06
James147then we should beable to just run that command at startup without going through system settings01:07
tommasothank you very much01:09
James147tommaso: xrandr -s 1280x102401:10
tommasojames: I should do this at everystartup?01:10
James147yeah, you should be able to put it in a script and auto run it at start up01:11
James147try it just incommand line for now to see if it works01:11
tommasook01:11
tommasoSize 1280x1024 not found in available modes01:11
James147change 1280x1024 to your wanted resalutions :)01:12

James147tommaso: do you know how to create scripts?01:14
tommasohere I am I'm sorry01:16

James147hehe01:23
tommasook it doesn't do nothing so maybe it works01:23
tommasoI should try it at startup01:24
James147tommaso:xrandr --auto works for me, sets reaaslution to the largets screen and the other gets cropped01:24
James147unplug the monitor01:24
James147and run it again01:24
James147that resets my laptop to its default01:24
tommasoif I unplug it and then plug it again, the resolution is already correct01:25
tommasoi have to reboot the system to see if it works01:25
James147unplug and runn the command without the external01:26

James147kk01:27
WalzmynJames147: are you using two monitors that are both standard width or wide screen?01:27
James147i am useing one widescreen and one standard on my desktop, only have a widescreen on my laptop, but i dont use external monitors with that01:28
WalzmynThat's the boat i'm in. Widescreen laptop, standard external. It was annoying to have the edges of the screens chopped off01:29
James147Walzmyn: have mine set up in xorg useing nvidia-settings, but was testing my laptop to help tommaso01:29
James147Walzmyn: if your useing both screens at once you can have one screen next to the other at differnet resalutions, ranther then overlapping01:30
WalzmynJames147: yeah, i was using nvidia-settings as well01:30
Walzmynyeah, but it makes the whole "screen" one height. So the widescreen gets the top or bottom edge trimmed off01:30

tommasohi james here I am. it worked. actually I didn't even need to run the command. I did what you told me previously, to make krandtray start along with kde at startup. and that is enough to make the monitor select the correct resolution01:32

James147Walzmyn:xrandr --output VGA --reight-of LVDS   should set them up side be side01:36

Walzmynjess: interesting. I'm not sure.02:14
Walzmynjess: there a reason you're not using 9.04?02:15
jessyes it kept freezing my computer and every other time i started it up it would basically crash02:16
Walzmynjess I'm looking but i'm not familiar with USB backend stuff, sorry.02:17
Walzmynjess:  just covering bases, it didn't get turned off in the bios did it?02:17
jessi'm not sure how would i check that?02:19
Walzmynjess: if you haven't been playing around in bios, they it shouldn't have gotten changed02:19
Walzmynjess: but to check you'd just have to look for the option somewhere in the bios options to enable/disable USB02:19
jessis there a way i can check it anyway?02:20
James147jess: whats the output of "cat /proc/modules | grep usb"02:20
Walzmynthere ya go. someone that knows what they're doing02:21
James147not really :)02:21
James147just checking to see if the modules are loaded, if thats the problem02:21
Walzmynwell, I knew that command was there, but i didn't know what is was :)02:21
jessok if they are loaded?02:21
jessthen what?02:22
James147did they work at anypoint in the past?02:22
jessyes they were just working yesterday and now today nothing?02:23
jesscould they get shorted from a power outage?02:23

jessgateway don't really remember when i got it02:24
jessany idea the best way to reinstall the drivers if i need to?02:25
James147one thing you could try is to see if they work in a live cd02:26
jessi am waiting on it to boot up so i can check that. i am on my laptop right now02:26
jesscan not check right now starting to lightning here really bad. if you come up with anything else please e-mail me at jnswebdesigns@smithbiz.net thank you. and good night02:34
IsumUsing 9.04...if fglrx installation fails...then replacing xorg.conf with a backup should allow me to get back in....right?02:54
James147Isum: if the abckups arent broken then yea, also think i read somewhere that the latest verison of xorg dont require a xorg.conf to work so you could try renaming xorg.conf if the backups fail;.02:56
IsumJames147: Ok, I'll give that a shot. Yeah, I replaced it with both the backup I made and the failsafe and I still can't get into xwin.02:57

k4everhi all.  i'm having trouble mounting drives using dolphin (kde 4.3/jaunty).  my sd card mounts as read-only.  when i try to mount my windows partition (ntfs) i get the following error:  An error occured while accessing 'Volume (ntfs)', the system responded: kdesu: Unknown option 'comment'.03:02
k4ever...i've used thunar and nautilus on the same system and they work fine.  just dolphin and all of kde 4.3 are having the problem03:03

k4everhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/257275/03:07
James147to get the ntfs to mount you can add and entry to fstab03:09
James147k4ever: along te lines of;  /dev/sdXX /media/windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 003:11
James147k4ever: where /dev/sdXX is the actual ntfs drive and /media/windows exists and is empty03:11
k4everok, what about the write problem with the sd card?  i have to mount with thunar to get it to work right.  dolphin won't play nice03:12
James147k4ever:mount a sd card with dolphin and post the output of "mount"03:13
k4everstandby, i'm editing fstab right now03:13
James147k4ever: after you edit fstab (and create /media/windows) run "sudo mount -a" to mount anyhting added to fstab03:16
k4everforgot to add blank line to fstab03:17
k4everJames147:  how do i get the output from mount?03:20
James147k4ever: mount only outputs on errors03:20
k4everdo you want me to mount the drive manually (from the command line) or from dolphin?03:21
James147k4ever: or do you mean just "mount"?03:21
James147k4ever:the ntfs drive from command line - it should be auto mounted on boot form now on (or via sudo mount -a)03:22

Isumgood thing I didn't have anything important saved yet03:24
James147k4ever: mount the sd in dolphin and type "mount" in command line, post the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com03:24
James147Isum: if you dont have anything important then a reinstall is the eaist way... another muight be to create a small partition at the end, install it there (without grub) and stealing the xorg from that03:25
James147Isum: If you reintall I suggest creating /home as a seprate partition (helps when you need to reinstall :) )03:25
k4everhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/257282/03:26
IsumYeah, I thought the installer would do that automatically. SuSE does, that's what I use on my desktop...03:26

k4everthe card reader doesn't have a lock switch, either03:54

IsumJames147: Ubuntu has four package managers?04:03
James147Isum: Probally why?04:04
macoapt-get, aptitude, synaptic, kpackagekit?04:04
IsumJames147: Well..wondering what they are and why you would need four04:04
James147Although apt-get is the abckend to all04:04
macowell dpkg is the backend to all04:04
macoupdate-manager uses python-apt as the backend. im not sure that it uses apt-get under that..i thought they were parallel04:05
James147dont know...04:05
James147aptitude is great for command line, kpackagekit is kde4s and synaptic is gnoms04:06
James147gnomes04:06
coreymananswer to your question, you only need one.04:06
James147coreyman: depends on your needs, you will need dpkg and apt-get, the others are optional but nice04:07
coreymanyea i only use apt-get but like was stated, dpkg is the backend.04:07
James147I tend to like aptitude... for the ability to mark packages as auto installed04:08

MehmetAlihello I am trying to install KUBUNTU, on setup at final screen , which we click install! button it tries to create the partitions, but in %5 it says failed to creat EXT3 file system partition04:12
James147MehmetAli: is there only one partition on the system?04:13
coreymanI'm only able to detect one device at a time on this card from within ubuntu I'm guessing...... The bios will only boot from a device plugged in to sata port 1, grub is set up for the device to be booted from sata port 0.... The live cd doesn't see my drive on sata port 104:13
MehmetAliI have two NTFS partitions on same hardisk. and I have free partition 12gb.. so When i choose it in ubuntu.. it took 580 to swap, and rest amounr like 11 to ext3..04:14
MehmetAliand final screen it says language user name, and partition info which will format, when i click install04:14
MehmetAliit fails to create partition in %504:14
James147MehmetAli: did you select manual partitions or one of the automated options?04:15
MehmetAliyes i tried like that too.. actually i erased both automatic EXT3 and SWAP partitions that have been created.. i had 12 gb. free04:16
MehmetAliso manually created 1gb swap and rest EXT3, also tried ext4..04:16
MehmetAlithat screen went next step.. but again in install screen failed to create partition.04:16
James147MehmetAli: you could try manually formating the partiton iva command line04:16
MehmetAlioh... well is there wiki for this? because this is my second day for linux :)04:17
MehmetAlii have basic msdos  knowledge but not gnu yet.04:17
James147MehmetAli: i should be able to guide you though it :)04:18
MehmetAliwell right now im in windows, so i just checked from computer management section, its showing two partitions that kubuntu created, but not file system types.. so i would appriciate if u guide.04:19
James147MehmetAli: Do you only have hte one computer?04:19
MehmetAliyea, im student..04:20
James147:D04:20
MehmetAliand i dont live in campus anymore04:20
James147did the network work in the live cd?04:20
MehmetAlioh yes... thats great.. so if i run live, i can open shell over there. rite ?04:21
James147yeah, live cd is the entire system on a disk :) if you boot into it now and call me when you get back (quassel is the default irc client in kubuntu)04:22
MehmetAlioki,, so c u from live kubuntu in 5 minutes james.. thanks for help.04:23
James147no problem04:23
americanadianhey is there anyone available for assistance?04:39
americanadiani'm trying to access my cd-rom drive to install another distro of linux but it won't read the cdrom?04:40
James147americanadian: Kubuntu wont read it? or your bios?04:40
americanadianthe error message is: "an error occurred while accessing 'pc floppy drive', the system responded mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device"04:41
James147fd0... isent that for flopy disks? thourght cds where cdX04:41
americanadiani guess so04:42
americanadianif that's the case, i don't see cdX at all04:42
James147americanadian: what gives you that error?04:42
americanadianjust: Home, Network, Root, Trash, PC Floppy Disk04:42

americanadiantrying to get this old POS to boot from CD - but it goes straight to kubuntu04:43
americanadianeven though i tell BIOS to boot from CD first04:43
James147americanadian: what are you trying to do? burn an immage to the disk, or dose the disk already contain an image?04:43
americanadianthe disk already has an image04:43
americanadiani am just trying to install another distro04:44
James147americanadian: there should be a key you can hit during boot (before grub) to get a list of bootable devices, its usualy F8 or F1204:44
americanadianon this old POS, it's f204:45
americanadianand i already got a list of bootable devices - i put the CDROM first04:45
americanadianbefore hard drive04:45
americanadianbut it doesn't boot from cdrom - it goes straight to kubuntu04:45
americanadianhence my problem04:45
James147americanadian: hmm04:45
americanadiani am wondering if installing kubuntu somehow disabled the cdrom04:46
James147americanadian: is it possible to boot form usb? although maby not if its old04:46
americanadianit's pretty old04:46
James147it shouldent have04:46
americanadianUSB 104:47
James147probally not then04:47
James147hmm04:47
James147dose the cdrom work at all?04:47
americanadianit's really odd because it worked before when i decided to install kubuntu last night04:47
americanadianbut not now!04:47
americanadianhow do i check to see if the cdrom works?04:48
IsumSo kubuntu comes pre-installed with compiz...or these effects are just part of KDE now? I have never used 4.x04:48

MehmetAlikubuntu 9.04 x386.05:13
James147you are rarly root in linux, in the live cd you are user "ubuntu" but can access root via sudo or su without a password05:13
MehmetAliwell i goto consol and write SU... it asked pass.. i just pressed enter.. but it said something negative..05:14

James147MehmetAli: dont know of a way to create ext3 partitions in windows05:17
k4everdarn, wonder if it will work in a virtual machine..05:18
James147MehmetAli: you could partition it in windows then format it in linux though, sudo mkfs.ext3 -L VOLUMENAME /dev/sdXX , will format a partition as ext305:19
James147MehmetAli: replacing VOLUMENAME with the name you want to call it and /dev/sdXX with the actual device (probally /dev/sda2)05:20
James147MehmetAli: be careful to get the right partition (/dev/sdXX) or you will end up losing data (sudo fdisk -l will list your partitions)05:21

Mamarokwhich kde4?09:57
Mamarokthere are 3 different available for jaunty09:58
Aisonbut it's not a problem of kde4 I think, because it hangs when kde4 is terminated already09:58
Mamarokrecent kernel?09:58
Aison2.6.28.1509:58
Mamarokyes, that's the latest09:59
Mamarokdo you run another MySQL server besides Akonadi?09:59
AisonI run the normal mysql server 5.1.310:00
Mamarokwell, by default there is only one, and that's the Akonadi one :)10:01
Aisonakonadi is not a mysql server, it just uses mysql as database backend10:01
Mamarokdid I say that?10:01
Mamarokand that MySQL server is started by Akonadi, it doesn't run on start IIRC10:02
Aisonakonadi uses embedded mysql (by default, if you don't change it)10:02
Mamarokso if that is the only one this means it is KDE4 related, as Akonadi should also shut it down when you log out of KDE10:03
AisonI don't mean that, i've got a dedicated mysql server running10:03
Aisonthis one is started by init script10:03
MamarokAison: no, Akonadi is not an embedded server10:03
Mamarokwell, then you need to check your own settings if it is that one10:03
AisonI said, akonadi USES mysql embedded by default10:04

KIAaze_hi again. I have a strange problem: my taskbar (kde4) stopped working, but I can still alt-tab + use the system tray.14:01
KIAaze_it happened when I tried to unmount my usb stick with the device manager in the taskbar14:01
anonymusshceisse14:02
KIAaze_scheisse indeed :/14:03
KIAaze_is there any way to restart only the kde4 panel?14:06
DragnslcrKIAaze_- open up the system monitor (ctrl-esc I think) and look for a process named plasma14:07
KIAaze_yay, I managed to terminate the taskbar because I got an "app not responding" message. Now how do I get it back?14:08
DragnslcrKill that process, then press alt-f2 and run plasma-desktop14:08
KIAaze_ok, it's back14:08
KIAaze_thx14:08
Walzmynhow can i make the panel be competely non-trnasparent? When it comes up I can see the windows behind though it and it's confusing14:09
KIAaze_it's just "plasma" by the way. It didn't find plasma-desktop14:10
KIAaze_deactivate desktop effects14:10
KIAaze_it's in system settings -> desktop -> desktop effects14:11
KIAaze_or did you mean just the panel? I'm confused.14:11
WalzmynKIAaze_: are you talking to me?14:12
KIAaze_yes14:12
WalzmynKIAaze_: yes, just the panel. I want to keep my desktop efects.14:12
KIAaze_well, in the taskbar settings you can allow windows to be above the panel.14:13
WalzmynKIAaze_: under transparency everthing is set to full opacity except for moving windows14:14
WalzmynKIAaze_: that's not hte problem, I can see windows THROUGH the panel and it makes reading the panel difficult14:14
KIAaze_panel settings -> more settings -> always visible?14:16
WalzmynKIAaze_: that kills the auto-hide. don't worry abou tit14:16
KIAaze_mmh, I guess it's a missing setting. But I was using gnome before and never used desktop effects.14:19

BluesKajyou can use the package manager to remove linux-image XXX17:39
darthanubisanyone notice that after adding a printer, network in this case, the printer randomly it seems, disappears? Then you have to readd it?17:40
BluesKajgwhipple, I used aptitude17:40

harjot_James147: its failing to burn [no error meseges, just wont goto 1%]17:41
gwhippleif i remove linux-image-??? will it remove all the dependancies too or just that package17:41
BluesKajdarthanubis, just use the print command on whatever text or site etc and the printer will reappear17:41
kidblooper:o17:42
darthanubisBluesKaj: no it does not17:42
kaddiBluesKaj: have you tried apt-get remove? I get a weird bug, when I use apt-get remove 2.6.28-11 it tries to remove all installed kernel from 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-1517:42
BluesKajgwhipple, that's whay using synaptic is a good way to remove old kernel images17:42
darthanubisthe printer is non existant,thus the printer dialog appears but without my printer17:43
darthanubisI have to readd via the systemsettings printer configuration17:43
gwhipplei haven't tried yet sidux had a program called "kernel-remover" but i didn't see that in (k)ubuntu17:43
gwhippleso thought i'd ask first17:44
BluesKajkaddi, you have preface the number with the actaul name linux-image followed by the number , to check this look in the package manager to find proper name for them17:44
harjot_how would i change what kubutmu labels the axis on a joystick?17:44
BluesKajdarthanubis, fine, then do so :)17:45
darthanubisyou always offer the most fool nonsense as advise17:45
darthanubisit is a problem17:45
darthanubisthat is not the desired outcome of adding the printer in the first place17:46
kaddiBluesKaj: apt-get remove 2.6.28-11-* removes the kernel fine, it looks for  linux-image, linux-headers-lbm, linux-headers, linux-restricted-modules, linux-backports-modules, both for servers and generic17:46
kidblooperwow quite insulting17:46
darthanubisI only mentioned it here first to see if it is a known bug17:46
kidblooperfixed all my problems so far :)17:46
darthanubissince no one here at the moment can comment tothis matter intelligently, I'll file the bug17:47

kaddiaxiom: that does not look like the default libflashplayer entry. have a look at tools->extensions->plugins, do you see 2 entries for flash? maybe one with ndiswrapper and one without?18:16
axiomYes!18:18
kaddidisable the ndiswrapper one and see if things get better :)18:18
axiom10.0 d21 and 10.0 d21.  Neither says ndiswrapper tho18:18
axiomer... the  other is 10.0. r32 actually18:19
kaddiaxiom: I'm not familiar with 64bit, but the current version of flash is 10.0.32, so I would try to disable the 21 one18:19
axiomkaddi: Tried both alone. the r32 one works fine, except for sound, and the d21 one does nothing at all.18:22
axiomI shoulda quit while I was ahead, flash no longer works in Konqueror now :(18:24
kaddiaxiom: I've never had to use ndiswrapper so I can't really help you with this. It looks as if FF is trying to use a windows-version through ndiswrapper instead of the native linux one18:24
kaddiaxiom: srsly? we haven't done anything to cause that though.18:24

kaddidid you by any chance install the server-version?18:52

oliveraarangoanyone knows which antivirus is free for ubuntu server?18:55
kaddiDanzCanada: try entering "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" into the command line18:55
raster_ricardooliveraarango: clam av, if Im not mistaken18:55
gjulianclamav18:55
noaXessi need jackd to run a special sound application.. how do i get it work... cause, if i start jackd with sudo /etc/init.d/jackd start, after that my sound won't work..18:55
James147DanzCanada: Try running the disk-check when you boot from the cd (sould be one of the options after the language select)18:55
kavurtDanzCanada, have you verified the md5sum?18:56
DanzCanada[kavurt] Wouldn't even know how.18:57
gjuliannoaXess: instal qjackctl, a GUI for jackd. with qjackctl you can manage connections between sound devices18:57
gjulianDanzCanada: do you have the ISO saved in an accesible directory?18:58
DanzCanada[gjulian] I do indeed18:58
gjulianDanzCanada: Then read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM18:59
DanzCanadaOkay, thanks. :)18:59
kaddi it's a way to check, that the file you downloaded is intact, in order to make sure that your installation wasn't corrupted by a faulty iso19:00
noaXessgjulian: thanks.. which user should run the jackd server? me or root?19:02
DanzCanada[gjulian] md5 Hash is the same on both my iso and as accord to the website19:03
gjuliannoaXess: I think it doesn't mattters... Personally, I run it as normal user19:03
noaXessgjulian: then start it over sudo /etc/init.d/jackd start ??19:03
gjuliannoaXess: Only run qjackctl19:04
noaXessgjulian: ok.. wait..19:04
gjuliannoaXess: It's a very intuitive GUI19:04
kaddiDanzCanada: when you boot from the DVD do you get a menu to select if you want to install, check your ram or boot from cd?19:04
DanzCanadaKaddi: Install without making changes to the computer, install kubuntu, and check boot disk19:05
James147DanzCanada: select check boot disk19:05
James147DanzCanada: and see if it passes19:05
DanzCanadajames: will do19:05
noaXessgjulian: if i run qjackctl and then press start i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257636/19:05
DanzCanadaI'll be back in a bit if it doesn't work19:05
gjuliannoaXess: in qjackctl, click setup and disable realtime option19:07
noaXessgjulian: so. done.. not i seams to run.. but now.. i can run my sound app that need jackd?19:08
gjuliannoaXess: Yes. You should see it in the Connections window...19:08
noaXessgjulian: my normal kubuntu sound, should it also work if jackd is running?19:09
gjuliannoaXess: I think yes, but you'll need to do some changes... wait a moment19:09
noaXessgjulian: ok.. so.. now if i play any sound file, sound output doesn't work..19:10
DanzCanadaHey I'm back19:10
noaXessgjulian: should i start transport roling19:10

gjuliannoaXess: are you running KDE 4?19:12
noaXessgjulian: yes19:12
DanzCanadaSame as if I were to attempt to install19:12
James147DanzCanada: I would try to reburn the image, looks like a crupt disk19:12
DanzCanadaOkies19:13
DanzCanadaThis will be my 4th attempt. xD haha19:13
James147DanzCanada: I would advise doing it at a slow speed, less chance of it screwing up19:13
raster_ricardoDanzCanada: check the md5 before burning19:13
raster_ricardoand James147 is right. try a low speed. I always use 819:13
DanzCanadaraster_ricardo: Already checked md5, it's fine.  Last burn was done at 3.5x  haha  I'll download from a different location though19:13
gjuliannoaXess: have a look at /usr/lib/xine/plugins/19:14
kaddiDanzCanada: what was the md5 you got?19:14
James147DanzCanada: I alwasys use the slowest for OS images that the software allows :)19:14
noaXessgjulian: yes..19:14
DanzCanadakaddi: Good question - it was in hex and I don't have it open right now, rebooting the computer19:14
gjuliannoaXess: it contains a folder, what's its name?19:14
kaddiDanzCanada: did you check that the md5 of your ISO corresponds to the iso listed here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes19:15
DanzCanadait was 798b8789af2f13bb9687b2ce57f25f9c19:15
raster_ricardotalking about corrupted images, I just got a msg from K3b saying writen data differs from the original. and the md5sum of the iso is the same from the website.19:15
DanzCanadakaddi: Yeah, it's exactly the same19:15
kaddiok, just wanted to make sure ;)19:15
noaXessgjulian: 1.2619:15
DanzCanada=)19:15
gjuliannoaXess: uff... I don't know if this will work because of the version, but let's try19:16
DanzCanadaDoes anyone know of any free Windows XP programs which will burn an image?19:16
James147raster_ricardo: i dont trust k3bs image verifying thinngy, i have had disks fail it and still work, and disk pass and fail to work19:16

kaddi_is there an easy way to remove all settings for uninstalled packages?23:51
kaddi_the other day I removed all gnome packages, but forgot to add --purge. I ain't using gnome again and therefore won't need the settings, which is why I would like them to be removed23:52
noqskaddi_, one place to look is the .gnome directories in your home directory23:54
kaddi_noqs: yes I was planning on removing .gnome and .gnome2, but I was hoping that there would be a more universal command for apt-get or a setting in packagekit/synaptics for it23:55
corkaddi_ you can still purge even after removal23:59
