[00:00] well i just downloaded v.9 [00:00] and i cant seem to connect to the enternet [00:00] kaddi_ synaptic is a GUI package manager,, but apt-get --purge may also work, I presume that's what it's doing in the background [00:00] meway, how are you chatting now? [00:00] im on my laptop windows fail lol [00:01] xp [00:01] cor sorry, what I meant was: do i need to select purge for every package or does synaptic have an option "purge all settings for removed packages" [00:01] i hit connect and it acts like its going to and than dosnt [00:02] I think you'd need to search for each package, though I haven't looked into it. I rarely purge. [00:02] meway, is this WiFi? [00:02] no i connected it to an ethernet [00:03] its a fresh install [00:03] but I have used the "completely remove all settings" option in synaptic, which is the same [00:03] meway, can you ping your gateway? [00:03] cor complete nube means i dont have any idea on how to do that [00:04] kaddi, you can pass a -s to apt-get to do a simulation [00:04] do i type ping in the terminal? [00:04] kaddi, maybe that will show you the files that would be removed [00:05] ugg [00:05] meway, gotcha! [00:06] Hi all. I'm still having browser difficulties after upgrading to 9.04, if anyone wants to help fix that now that would be terrific [00:06] okay, well, to basics.... [00:06] bity i am to [00:06] ok cor [00:06] meway, are you using the Network Manager applet? [00:06] i lied sort of i know how the terminal works and to connect blue tooth stuff lol [00:06] cor no [00:07] so how are you attempting to connect? [00:07] * Bity nods. "Well I have ping, and w3m can browse google too. No other browsers or IM working." [00:07] cor shouldnt it be automatic plz dont laph at this comment [00:07] yes, it should be automatic [00:08] so how do i open this applet,,, [00:08] but I assumed your automaticnetworking wasn't working and you had moved onto nidging it, by hand [00:08] add it to your panel [00:08] cor dont know how [00:08] "Add Applet" [00:09] cor dont know how [00:09] steps by step you are talking to a ubu tard [00:10] hello, how i can get usb support in virtual box OSE? [00:10] anyone know of a good gui rar program that can extract from multiple rar files? ark wont work [00:11] cor i dont see anything that says anything about an aplet [00:11] charles: maybe try rar/unrar or unrar-nonfree [00:12] hi. i'm trying to get kde to run under 9.04, but no way [00:13] the errors are not that specific to get any information out of them [00:13] is this a wast of time> [00:13] ?? [00:13] can somone help me [00:14] i read something about ports could this be my issue? [00:14] meway: what have you tried so far, what did you do to connect to your network? (and what kind of network is it. wireless, wired, something else?) [00:14] LuisJa: not sure. the one i used did not work. but for pendrives and discs, you can do this: mount it on linux and share its directory with the virtualbox network folders. [00:14] its wired [00:14] I've been running with wep all this time and now I'm trying to go wpa, and the knetworkmanager options don't match up with my router's options for it. is there a configuration interface these days for wpa_supplicant? [00:14] meway, there's a yin-shaped button at the far-right of the panel - click that. [00:15] charles: unrar [00:15] kaddi_ wireless internet rouder but im wired in [00:15] raster [00:15] LuisJa: the disc folders will be listed in the virtual box network dirs [00:15] raster_ricardo: how i can do that? [00:15] because i already installed the guest things [00:16] but dont know how to share folders [00:16] cor i dont see it i c the blue tooth the connection things looks like cellphone bars and than its the sound icon and time and date than the power button [00:16] LuisJa: if you are running your guest, the tool bar (if not on full screen) will have some icons [00:16] meway: do you have an applet for network activities on your desktop or a network-icon in your systray? [00:16] one of them is the network one. i dont have any guest os right now, so cant say for sure [00:17] kaddi_ its a fresh install i dont know anything [00:17] meway, right-click in empty space in panel >> Panel Options >> Add Widget [00:17] i am in CTRL + L mode :) [00:17] im completely new to this i just happen to know ppl who directed me here [00:17] LuisJa: when not running, you go to the prefs of your guest os and configure the shared network dirs there. [00:17] In virtualbox, usb has to be enabled outside the running machine, no? [00:18] it's been a while. but I remember some stuff you cannot enable while it's running. [00:18] meway: do you know which version of kde you are using? (If not open dolphin or konqueror, click on help, select "about kde" and right down the version) [00:18] *write even [00:18] holda raster_ricardo [00:18] kaddi_: are either of those gui or are they text based? [00:19] icons in where? [00:19] cor i right clicked the pannel there is no panel options [00:19] i am using XP as guest [00:19] and linux as host [00:19] charles: they are command line tools, I don't know if they have guis though. [00:19] meway, what version of KDE? [00:19] whats kde? [00:20] you are using kubuntu, yeah? [00:20] ubuntu .9 [00:20] yes [00:20] 9 something [00:20] Ubuntu? Not Kubuntu? [00:20] the top one on the ubuntu .com list [00:20] yea [00:20] cor: yes, but some versions of virtual box does not support usb directly. [00:20] 0.o [00:20] there's an #ubuntu channel, you know! [00:21] lol [00:21] raster_ricardo, are they using an old version? [00:21] LOL [00:21] cor that channel is full of bots and unavailable ppl [00:21] than joke make me laugh so hard xDDD [00:21] im assumeing that ubuntu is quite similer [00:21] cor: not sure. [00:22] im hopeing anyway [00:22] meway: is similar if you get into the command line [00:22] raster_ricardo: icons in where? i am using xp as guest and linux as host, and i dont know how to share folders, can u help me pls? [00:22] :/ [00:22] meway: the applications on ubuntu are different from the one on kubuntu. Where they use nautilius we have dolphin, where they use evince, we use okular, where they use networkmanager, we use knetworkmanager [00:22] LuisJa: sure. [00:22] well my issue is a fresh install and no internet availability [00:22] is your guest running? [00:23] yes [00:23] there is a dolphin in ubuntu [00:23] does anyone know how to remove a word from kate's dictionary? [00:23] no its a pidgen lol [00:23] lol [00:23] LuisJa: in the window where xp is in, in the bottom right, you have some icons [00:23] yea i just sounded retarded [00:23] not quite the same XD [00:23] lol... [00:23] lol [00:23] oh yeah [00:23] there's one icon that is a folder, i guess. [00:23] srry i am in CTRL + L mode raster [00:23] let me change [00:24] ok [00:24] meway: basically you need to get networkmanager started. I would think. And you should find it somewhere in your programs, probably in internet, but that really is all that I can tell [00:24] if you hover the mouse it will give you a tool tip. just click on it and it will bring a new window. [00:24] so tell me what you see in this applet after you open it [00:24] LuisJa: ok [00:24] ok its i can find it [00:24] meway if you have a console handy type "nm-applet" that should start networkmanager [00:24] i think its called terminal in here [00:25] like dos in windows? [00:25] sorry [00:25] ment [00:25] command prompt [00:25] weird [00:25] ok [00:25] it gave me a warning [00:25] meway: that applet we were talking about only exists in kde. it is not a command prompt, but a little program you would see in your systray, just like the internet connection thingie you have in systray in XP [00:26] one sec [00:26] nettwork connections? [00:26] i clicked that [00:26] sounds great [00:27] it says wired wireless mobile broadband [00:27] i clicked wired tab [00:27] and it says auto eth0 [00:27] im going to click add [00:28] and that's where you are on your own, because I can not get that applet on my pc. I would advise to try in #ubuntu there are a lot of people there right now [00:28] kaddi_ doubtfull [00:29] there are 2 real ppl in that stupid room the wrest are bots and lazy admins that wont say anything [00:29] ok so on applet what dose it say or what do you normally do? [00:29] method automatic dhcp ? [00:30] DHCP* [00:30] or choose a diffrent... [00:30] meway: I don't know, I have never used that program, as I am on kde not gnome. Try dhcp, but I really can't help you from here on [00:30] new program network tools [00:31] most deb systems' networkings are way easier to setup once you remove all the gui tools [00:31] gives me ip information [00:31] sucks [00:31] ping [00:31] mhm [00:31] it's all in /etc/network/interfaces [00:31] one line of text, forget. [00:32] ok ttyl thanks fo the help [00:32] for* [00:32] meway: and seriously the guys in ubuntu are a nice group, give them another chance [00:32] too late [00:34] na, those #ubuntu dudes will slap you hard, biatch! [00:34] :o [00:34] I must have been in the wrong channel then :p [00:34] I've been banned too many times from there ;o) [00:34] why kubuntu is racist with ubuntu channel? LOL [00:34] its not the same gentle people? :) [00:35] srsly that is the first time I heard it this way round, usually you see kubuntu users hitting ubuntu because noone replies here :p [00:36] tes === airy is now known as airydragon [00:43] Hello again, I lost power for a few. I need help with the lag in my computer. [00:45] Ctrl-Esc [00:45] Click "CPU" column, order by biggest first. [00:46] ok cor, what next? [00:48] I see a lot of names I don't understand. [00:49] cor--Does "kill process" do what I think it does? Not just delete? [00:49] i need to install/reinstall the kio-trash, as I have been getting "invalid address: trash:/" in alt-f2 or the wastebin-widget. However reinstalling kdebase-runtime did not solve the problem, What else could I try? [00:50] well, it depends [00:50] Refraxx, some proccesses are required [00:51] Refraxx, and knowing which is which, and how much CPU each is roughly expected to be using, is the key to solving your problem, probably. Other things can lag a machine, missing netwotk hosts, disk access, other things. [00:51] I figured as much, that's why I havent done anything with any of it yet. Its all just a little too new for me yet. I dont know what I'm doing or wich program to kill [00:52] would defragging the drive help? Or is there a way to do it in Kubuntu? [00:57] Refraxx, when do you most notice the lag? [00:57] during any particular task(s)? [00:58] Mostly when I'm online, specifically when on youtube and/or when something is moving onscreen. [00:59] i need to install/reinstall/fix the kio-trash, as I have been getting "invalid address: trash:/" in alt-f2 or the wastebin-widget. apt-file search kio| grep trash, showed it should be in kdebase-runtime. However reinstalling kdebase-runtime did not solve the problem, I also checked that the file is present in /usr/lib/kde4/trash.so. What else could I try? Could it be that the widget and alt-f2 are looking for it in /usr/lib/kde3? [00:59] It also does it when switching from bookmark to bookmark [00:59] is there anywhere else I could ask about this problem besides #kde? [01:01] cor--It laggs severely when I'm trying to watch Hulu or Fancast [01:01] Refraxx: are you by any chance using an intel graphics card? [01:02] Yes, as a matter of fact I am. Is that the problem? Well, not only that my computer is also abt 4 yrs old. [01:02] Anyone know how to login as root in the ubuntu live cd [01:02] ? [01:03] Refraxx: there are known regressions in jaunty with intel graphics card. [01:03] !intel [01:03] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [01:03] You just need to type 'sudo', no password is required for the live ubuntu.. [01:04] the xubuntu live cd asks for a user name and password you have 30 seconds until your logged in as a guest [01:04] Im trying to recover my hard drive [01:04] my hard drive doesn't show up on the live cd and Im not sure how to mount that [01:04] Refraxx: I updated to the 2.6.30 kernel and the newer xserver, which increased performance a lot. The improvements really depends on the grapihcs card though, but I think it's worth a try [01:06] Ok kaddi, How do I upload that kernel? [01:06] I'll give it a shot [01:06] Refraxx: the second link has instructions on how to update the kernel :) [01:06] anyone know how to mount an ntfs drive with a ubuntu live cd? [01:07] hello. i'm having problems with suspend to ram on kubuntu jaunty on my laptop. i close the lid, and when i open it again nothing happens. how can i fix this? [01:07] Refraxx: or is something in that link unclear [01:07] ? [01:07] Hey. My browsers in 9.04 are still stuck waiting for a reply except in w3m. Can anyone help fix? [01:07] What second link? [01:07] !intel |Refraxx [01:07] Refraxx: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [01:07] the second link from there ;) [01:08] oh, ok. thanks [01:12] i'm using skype on jaunty, but the program has no sound. the sound files are there, but it seems it can't play them [01:12] I have to step away for a few, something came up. I'll be right back === derrick_ is now known as D-Master === Alethes is now known as NJL [01:17] hola === jancarlos is now known as AzAbAcH [01:21] I AM BORED! [01:21] there, I said it. [01:24] Ok cor. This stupid thing is not letting me download the kernel. it keeps coming up with somekind of file error [01:25] what's not letting you download a kernel? Firefox? [01:26] the 2.30.5 upgrade. [01:27] I went to the second link & tried to download the one that sounded the closest to what I need [01:27] * cor scrolls up to see what the hell Refraxx is referring to. [01:28] Timestamp 20:07 name: ubottu [01:28] hello to all! I have a weird problem: I'm trying to delete a file from kubuntu and it keeps coming back! it's an avi file and I'm not able to cancel it [01:30] good god, who decides the color schemes to use with kdevelop4 in kubuntu? [01:30] I don't know, but they should be shot HEhehee [01:31] along with the others! except, then WE would have to write the code! [01:31] where can i read the smart state of my harddrives? [01:31] man, I was gonna switch back to kdevelop 3 'cause it was so bad [01:31] but I can't get the deps to install correctly, so now I'm trying to fix 4 [01:32] ok, I have to go now. I'll try to come back later to try & fix the lag problem [01:34] fyi: in 8.10(No idea about newer versions), if you add a word to the spell check dictionary by default in say... kate.. it stores in ~/.config/enchant/language_locale.dic, in case anyone else has problems finding where to remove mistakenly added words. It took me forever to figure out where it was stored. [01:37] there isn't anybody in here who could help me out with a KDE/Gnome conflict on 9.04 netbook remix, is there? [01:42] there's a way to delete files through command line? there's a file that keeps coming back, I'm not able to delete it [01:42] depends on the conflict, I huess [01:42] *guess [01:42] * cor sneezes [01:42] tommmaso, rm -rf [01:43] tommmaso, but if it "keeps coming back", then deleting it isn't the solution. [01:43] thank you cor, so what should I do? [01:44] it's an avi file so nothing harmful [01:45] but it's a broken file, maybe that's why kubuntu is messing with it [01:45] please for the love of moses, tell me there is SOMEBODY here who can help me [01:46] kubuntu, unlikely. how did you get the file? a torrent client, maybe? [01:46] pglenn, try asking something. [01:47] there isn't anybody in here who could help me out with a KDE/Gnome conflict on 9.04 netbook remix, is there? [01:47] sorry, I asked about 3 times [01:47] that's not a question [01:47] ok [01:47] try again [01:47] using tha actual issue as the basis of your typing [01:48] yes cor but there was nothing wrong in the torrent. the problem is that by mistake I copied the file to another directory when it wasn't still complete and now I can't delete it. but the file was genuine because when I completed the downloading I was able to play it fine [01:49] amazing how I guessed it was a torrent, huh? [01:49] I just installed netbook remix onto a laptop, however the remix desktop in Gnome is very sluggish, so I disabled it. I installed the kubunu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop packages via synaptic, and kept GDM as the default display manager. However, when I boot into KDE, both Gnome and KDE start simultaneously, and this causes the system to perform extremely sluggishly [01:49] is there any way that I can fix this? I apologize for my earlier vagueness [01:50] pglenn, decide on a window manager, and remove the others. [01:50] there are more complex solutions, but that works for most. [01:51] sweet, I will try that [01:51] thank you [01:52] I recommend KDE/KDM [01:52] yes, cor you guessed right but because only with torrents you can mess with temporary files [01:52] whats the command to uninstall programs? [01:52] gnome is going backwards [01:52] aptitude remove [01:52] whats the command to uninstall programs? [01:53] with emule when the file is incomplete it is different [01:53] thx [01:53] Hola a todos [01:54] but cor do you think it is a virus? how is that possible? [01:54] no tommaso, lots of things can, but with only with torrents does one regularly find people with "magic" files like yours. Just stop the torrent. Move the complete file to its final location, and if you still have some seeding to do to hit 1:1, open the .torrent and point it to the new location. [01:55] hola='? [01:55] when I say stop, I mean "stop and remove" [01:55] but NOT stop and remove and remove data [01:57] cor, I feel so stupid now because I got it what you mean [01:57] yes, it's because the file is still active in the torrent download list [01:57] oh my god I'm so ashamed :( [01:57] that was really stupid to ask, I'm sorry! [01:57] ;o) [01:58] hola hay alguien que me pueda ayudar? [01:59] hey guys, I'm new to ubuntu/linux world... when i access the /var/www (i've installed apache previously) path, i'm not able to create a new folder through gui interface with my user... how can i do that...? [01:59] cor that didnt worked ¬¬ [01:59] i will use adept... [02:00] damn i am having a bad lag, i writed that 1:30 minutes ago [02:02] maybe a black hole close by [02:07] leandro: you are the normal user, /var/www is only accessible by the admin [02:07] dont use gui for admin things [02:07] leandro: and you can use ANY folder for sites. [02:08] like, when you are going to configure your websites (if you are using virtualhosts) you can point to any directory [02:08] raster_ricardo but everytime i need to create a folder inside www is very annoying [02:08] for example: /home/leandro/www [02:08] i mean inside the terminal [02:09] leandro: with time you will learn that the command line is your best friend. =P [02:09] anyway... you can have /home/leandro/www (or anything) and then, in the site configuration you point it to that folder [02:10] yes, good point.. i'll try to do that [02:11] leandro: cool! [02:12] dolphin.. sftp://root@localhost/etc/doodah.rc [02:12] use gui for admin things. YES! DO IT! [02:13] Kate willl handle the documents transparently. and you go root power. [02:13] not so transparently as with the old fish protocol, but still... [02:14] cor: i like to use the command lne so I know Im doing somthing that is not so trivial.. [02:14] vim for the win! [02:14] * raster_ricardo waits for the emacs fans. [02:14] i have no love for vi(*) [02:14] awww [02:14] nor emacs, bith suck [02:14] *BOTH [02:14] SUCK [02:15] hello, I have tried both the latest snapshot, and 9.04 does not recognize when I have my ethernet cable plugged in. checking dmesg and ifconfig shows its there. [02:15] cor: ed user? [02:15] but then, kate is pretty shit, too [02:15] language... [02:15] cor: [02:15] kubuntu users are really at a loss for a decent text editor [02:15] oops, sorry. [02:16] Kte is aptly named, and like any woman, she a) has a mind of her own, though she will often wait until your back is turned to express this, and b) changes her mind on a whim. [02:16] and if it matters the ubuntu/xubuntu see the card and recognize the cable is in fact plugged in. [02:17] hey all... if i were to ask you fine folks if there were an alternative to DreamWeaver for linux... i would be directed to Quanta. anyone ever use it? [02:18] nope. but if someone tells you bluefish, dont listen. its only an alternative if you used dreamweaver's html editor only [02:18] who in the gods has time for plaintext html these days? :P [02:18] thanks for the advice. [02:19] so umm... anyone like umm... heard of umm... that problem? [02:19] or better yet umm... know how to fix it? [02:19] lorecaster: you dont need a WYSIWYG editor, any decent ide with text completion and other nice features is enough [02:19] features like code snippets and stuff. [02:20] i agree. ideas? [02:20] Quanta, Kate, Geany, Gedit. [02:20] UEx beta is coming along nicely... [02:21] still opens multiple instances, but soon they tell me that's fixed [02:21] now in 64bit, too [02:21] how i can know if that is 9.04 and (i386/AMD65)? [02:21] i've been comissioned to build an artist's website for commission-profit, and she's doing rather well for herself. I'm also a civil-engineering student, and don't have the time to kill myself. i've got a quad-core machine with 8-gig of ram running the most recent ubuntu in gnome... if that helps [02:22] lorecaster: than, gedit and geany are good tools [02:22] I've wrote an article about web dev on gnome, but smashingmagazine.com hasnt published it yet. [02:23] and does anyone recommend webhosting? i went with bluehost before, they were good but pricy. looking into inmotion and JustHost now [02:23] how i can know if that is 9.04 and (i386/AMD65)? [02:23] lorecaster: depends on what you are going to use. [02:23] lorecaster: i recommend linode and webfaction [02:24] JEdit is okay, by the way, and cross-platform, too. [02:24] UEx, when the wrinkles get ironed out, will knock them all for six [02:24] i don't have the time for crazy toys... unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth are ubiquitous it seems... i'd like message boards, and integrated paypal, but it's not that important. is there one dominant program that 'rules the market' like Dreamweaver does? [02:24] leandro: btw, have a look on articles about debian/(k)ubuntu apache virtual hosting. [02:24] currently, I'm playing with what I once described as "my dream editor", long before it even existed [02:25] "a text editor based on mozilla technology" [02:25] Firefox, Thunderbird, = The Holy Trinity. [02:25] Erm, it's called Komodo [02:25] i want the reliability of online hosting though [02:25] lorecaster: I dont know how you use DW. if you use it and its integration with adobe/macromedia tools, you'd be better with a mac or anything. [02:25] that host check site tells me I average 99.9%, and I pay like £3/year [02:26] any way to keep any one program from hogging up all the cpu time and locking up the system? [02:26] lorecaster: linode and webfaction offers a lot of features [02:26] unlimited bandwidth [02:26] dunno if they still take these special deals, though. [02:26] cor: what provider? [02:26] jiohdi, yes [02:26] but paypal integration is beyond hosting services. it is more concerned with web scripts and stuff. whatever if it is ruby, php or python script [02:26] cor... ok... how? :) [02:26] it's freepgs, but owned by lvcs hosting [02:27] I got an account years ago, and when my expensive host went belly-up, I switched my stuff to them as an interim measure - been there ever since [02:27] it places limits on bandwidth and stuff now... not for me [02:27] some months I top 50,00 hits, they never complain [02:28] 50,00 a day, rather [02:28] Fifty Thousand [02:28] excuse me and my effin desktop keyboard [02:28] usually chat on the laptop,. and this is why!! [02:29] lorecaster: linode and webfaction have a really reasonable bandwidth [02:29] there are lots of hosts out there with side-operations. [02:29] i -only- want unlimited bandwidth [02:29] it's an OCD thing [02:30] * Bity is away: Gone away for now. [02:30] that's why I stay with them. Unlimited bandwidth is the way to go, if you can get it. [02:30] http://www.justhost.com/hosting-features these guys look incredible [02:30] lorecaster: unlimited bandwidth is a dream or something not so trustful [02:30] cor... [02:31] pardon? [02:31] lorecaster: do you seriously think you will use more than 200GB of bw? [02:32] of course not... but like i said, it's an OCD thing... [02:33] hmm... [02:33] 1 slashdot, even a lifehacker front page and 300GB,,, easy! [02:33] especially if there's a download attached. [02:34] but 200GB is the cheapest of their plans [02:34] i have seen some beautiful flash websites... though i am not versed in flash at all... some of those are downright pretty [02:34] flash = googledeath [02:34] check out my link above [02:34] pardon? [02:35] google cant index flash text [02:35] I know SEO. and flash = google death, trust me. [02:35] plus, flash is not mean to be the site, rather, a feature. like a media play [02:35] exactly! [02:35] it's one option among many. what do you guys think of JustHost.com? [02:35] i'm thinking of registering with it [02:36] never seem before. [02:36] me either, but they offer some promising things [02:36] anyway.... [02:36] im leaving now!
