rouserthat install isn't working properly for 64bit01:29
rouserI've been doing some snooping, as you can't install from the add/remove list and you can't run it from the adobe website's download as is01:32
rouseranyone find a way around that? i'm sure there is, who would use an OS that didn't have flash?01:32

Irvinghello01:49
BookmanHi Irving.01:49
Irvingwould you be able to help me with a kubuntu issue01:49
BookmanI can try.01:50
BookmanWhat is the issue01:50
Irvingok i have a brand new install of 9.04 and cannot connect to my wireless network01:51
BookmanAh, same problem I had01:51
Irvingit worked great before, i had the same version installed a few days ago01:51
BookmanI have to run nm-applet from the terminal to get mine running.01:51
BookmanHave you tried that?01:52
Irvingno, i'm very new at this01:53
Irvingvery little experience with linux01:53
BookmanNo problem01:53
Irvingso im in the terminal now, what do i do?01:54
Bookmannm-applet01:54
BookmanNow, to qualify this, I also run Ubuntu so I'm not sure if that helps my situation or not.01:54
Irvingit says it can be found in the following packages and gives two packages01:55
Irvingshould i download the network-manager-gnome01:55
Bookmanpackages are?01:55
biovirushow can i install base in my openoffice???01:55
Irvingnetwork-manager-gnome01:56
Irvingmythbuntu-diskless-client01:56
Bookmannetwork-manager-gnome01:56
BookmanThat is the one you want IIRC01:57
Irving"Package network-manager-gnome is not available, but is referred to by another package."01:58
scimitarI just installed Karmic and have a few issues if anyone can help...they are related to unreachable drives, lots of ? icons in folders and kwin crashes01:58
Bookmansudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome01:58
Irvingthats what i did01:58
Irvingit also says "This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source01:59
IrvingE: Pacakge network-manager-gnome has no installation candidate02:00
BookmanIrving: I'm trying to remember how I  solved this very problem02:00
Irvingok thanks for the help02:00
BookmanI'm searching now02:00
Irvingi believe i had my wirless adapter connected while installing, maybe that effected it02:00
BookmanI have it working right now so I know it is possible.02:00
BookmanThis is a known bug in Kubuntu.....the solution is to use gnomes network manager.02:01
Irvinga few days ago when I installed it the first time it immediately worked when I plugged in my adapter02:01
Irvingoh ok02:01
BookmanYup, same thing here!02:02
BookmanTry this:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/gnome02:02
BookmanThen, when you have it working, go back to Kubuntu and do the nm-applet thingy02:02
biovirushow can i install base in my openoffice???02:03
BookmanIs that possible?  Not elegant, but I'm sure it will duplicate my situation02:03
Bookmanbiovirus: hang in there....02:03
Irvingthese things aren't working either02:05
Bookmanhmmmm02:05
Bookmanwhich ones?02:05
Irvingim not connected to the internet, doesn't it need it to download these?02:05
BookmanAh, that is a problem02:05
=== scimitar is now known as Scimitar^
Irvingsudo apt-get update && ...02:06
BookmanIrving: you don't have a wired connection available?  I know that is a bad question!02:06
Irvingunfortunately i don't02:07
Bookmanhmmm.....I will keep searching then02:07
Irvingwell i do, but no way to get to it, need either a very long cable or moving my entire dektop02:07
Irvingit shows my network02:07
BookmanIrving: I had the very same problem.  I understand your frustration completely02:07
Irvingi hit scan in the wireless network screen, selected my SSID, then put in my security info02:08
BookmanIrving: it won't work02:08
Irvingit just says not connected on the notifier on the bottom right02:08
Bookmanyup, same as me02:08
Irvinghmm02:08
Irvingits odd i don't even have a connect button anywhere02:09
Irvingi remember the first time on my previous install I had to manually connect02:09
Irvingi can't even find that button now though02:10
BookmanI had the very same issues....02:10
BookmanAnd I got so angry02:16
BookmanIf we could get you to install Ubuntu, then restart in Kubuntu and run nm-applet all would be well.02:16
Irvingi supposed I could02:19
BookmanWell, I know no other way on this issue02:20
Irvingok thank you for all your help02:22
Irvingi may try reinstalling with the card unbplugged, since I did have this working a day ago02:22
BookmanWell, it didn't work though.....what are your plans?02:22
Irvingthat seems to be the only difference02:23
Irvingidk, if that doesn't do it, and I can't find anything else out probably just install ubuntu02:23
BookmanDo you have a CD/DVD of Ubuntu/Kubuntu?02:23
Irvingkubuntu, no ubuntu02:24
BookmanOk, just searching02:25
BookmanKubuntu is worth trying out.  I run about 25% of my time here now.  And that is increasing.02:26

scm422Who here is the resident guru on Kubuntu 9.04?17:24
shadeslayerscm422: everyone...17:24
* cuznt checks his guru17:24
scm422Im new to it and have a few questions17:24
cuznt!ask17:25
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)17:25
shadeslayerscm422: just state the problem and all of us will help you out :)17:25
scm422Just curious as to when my system goes and checks for updates, there are a few items that dont update and are blocked.17:25
sfearslsusb lists a device attached.  how do i figure out what /dev/device to mount?17:26
shadeslayerscm422: that means that they might be missing dependencies,etc etc, or they might be kernel upgrades and such17:26
shadeslayerscm422: use : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade : in a terminal17:27
scm422ie... all are kernel upgrades17:27
shadeslayerscm422: not necessarily,some upgrades might take you from KDE 4.3 to 4.3.1.... just a example though17:28
shadeslayerscm422: they are called distrubution upgrades.... what they dont do is take you from 9.04 to 9.1017:29
scm422should I try and update KDE 4.3 to 4.3.1<17:29
shadeslayerscm422: i dont see why not17:29
scm422I was using ubuntu 9.04 and thought I would give Kubuntu a try. Seems a little more complicated17:30
shadeslayerscm422: the base system is the same,the difference is just the DE17:31
scm422so then I should be able to do things pretty much the same as when I was using ubuntu?17:32
shadeslayerscm422: yes,all the commands are the same17:32
shadeslayerscm422: its just graphically different17:32
scm422so back to my question. Why is it I am unable to update the kernel? It says its blocked.17:33
sfearslsusb lists a device attached.  how do i figure out what /dev/device to mount?17:33
shadeslayerscm422: as i said,its a distrubution upgrade not a normal upgrade17:34
shadeslayer*distribution17:34
scm422so then there is no way to inable it?17:34
shadeslayerscm422: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <<-- In a terminal17:35
geniiscm422: Regular upgrades don't up the kernel versions. Just dist-upgrade does that17:36
geniiShrey_: Congrats on getting your Quassel going :)17:37
scm422ok I just did the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it said 0 found, hmmm?17:38
shadeslayerscm422: and it shows block upgrades?17:39
scm422Yes it did however now its asking me to reboot17:39
cuzntsudo apt-get -f install17:42
cuzntshadeslay try sudo apt-get -f install17:42
cuzntin a terminal17:42
shadeslayercuznt: ?17:43
cuzntopen konsole and type sudo apt-get -f install17:44
cuzntthen give your password17:44
cuzntand that should help17:44
cuznti think you have a broken package or missing dependaNcies17:44
scm422ok guess that cured that! Thanks Now yet another question? How do I upgrade firefox to 3.5?17:46
shadeslayer!firefox-3.517:46
ubottuFirefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY17:46
shadeslayerscm422: ^^17:47
cuzntooops and i was talking to the wrong peep17:47

scm422ok so how do I go about upgrading it then?17:48
blake__can anybody point me to a guide on how to install my old SATA harddrive with windows xp operating system onto my pure kubuntu gateway pc?17:51
blake__well its not pure kubuntu its ubuntu/kubuntu17:51
blake__i'd l'iek to have two hdd one with xp one with (k)ubuntu17:52
blake__anyone?17:52
Mountainman!purge17:56
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about purge17:56
geniiblake__: If the new drive gets seen as for instance /dev/sdb             then you can add a chainload entry to your /boot/grub/menu.lst  for most likely sdb117:56
blake__can i have two different hard drives on my pc, one for ubuntu and one for windows and select which one to boot from ?17:57
geniiblake__: Some bios support something like "Hit F10 to select boot device"  but it sometimes confuses the operating system because the bios will re-order the disks17:58
blake__so what would happen if i connect my old windows xp hard drive into my pc and it gets seen when i start up my pc?17:58
=== jonathan__ is now known as Neremor
blake__hmm18:00
geniiblake__: If the old drive was previously the master hd when it booted XP, the "Hit F10 to select boot device" would work fine for that, the bios will re-order the drives to make that one look like the primary18:00
blake__the old drive was from another pc but the mother board are both SATA and both hard drives are the same just the one i have currently installed is pure linux and the old one is windows xp18:01
geniiblake__: No way to know for sure except by trying it. The different motherboards might map the cyclinders/heads differently18:02
blake__okay gotcha and whats the worst that could happen?18:03
genii(which would make it unbootable no matter where it lay in the drive order)18:03
semistud2354Question?....can someone please tell me how to automagicly boot the default kernel...instead of going to the grub menu18:03
blake__should i install the old one next to the current one or pull the current one and install the old one ?18:03
semistud2354i checked different websights but i dont think there quite exactly what im looking for18:04
geniiblake__: I'd suggest first to pull the Linux drive and try solely with the old XP one as the primary18:04
geniiwork, afk18:04
blake__thanks dud18:04
Shrey_hey buddies open office has come up with new version 3.1.1, i want to update my offce3.0 which came with kubuntu with new version..what should i type at konsole.18:05

ubottuTo make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. In KDE 3.X the package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete KDE 3.X guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html19:09

corTDrakeHI, check your paths and their permissions19:16
coryusuo, does the envyng package work for radeon?19:17
yusuoi dont know havent tried but i dont want to fresh install if it doesnt19:18
TDrakeHII've been dloading into this folder with other files, no prob.  Permissions are 777 for the entirety of my dload dir so I wouldnt have permission errors.19:18
corTDrakeHI, and the disk has space?19:19
coryusuo, I'm no expert on video drivers, but I know envy has a good uninstall option!19:20
TDrakeHIyes.  That was the first thing I checked.  300GB free.19:20
yusuocor ive installed envyng how do i installthe drivers from it19:20
coryusuo, run envyng -t19:21
coror whatever the switch is that brings up the text interface!19:21
TDrakeHIthe torrent contains an mkv file.  I haven't had any problems before now with other mkv's.  could it be the path length?19:21
corthere#s a menu19:21
corTDrakeHI, I was coming to this19:21
coralso, unusual charatcers might be an issue19:21
cordepending on the file syetem housing the temp directory19:21

TDrakeHIthx cor.  Ne way to convert a fat32 to ext3 non destructively?19:23
corfor a good cross-platform file system, NTFS works well19:24
corand there are tools in windows to do direct upgrade19:24
coryusuo, backup your X11 configs19:24
TDrakeHIonly have jaunty running on it.  I left it as FAT32 after I switched, cause I thought that the network samba share would go easier.  I know different now.19:24
yusuocor oh well here it goes maybe see u in a minute19:24
coryusuo, when you run envyng, you'll see it has an uninstall option. that *should* put things back the way they were. but backup anyways19:25
yusuocor thx19:25
yusuohopefully be back in a minute19:25
corTDrakeHI, If you need a temporary Windows box, grab the latest Hirens boot disk. it has a "mini windows" on it19:25

madberrydavidscott you can jump channels within a server but you can't connect to a different server with just a command as far as I know. You could hit f7 to use quickconnect.23:41
corSJr, as opposed to those nasty gui network management tools.23:41
