| kaito | well i need a user freindly way be cause it is not my computer | 00:11 |
| kaito | woudnt rightclicking on the folder and setting the permissions like that work? | 00:12 |
| pitput | oh. what exactly are you trying to do | 00:12 |
| pitput | kaito, that would work | 00:12 |
| pitput | just select the icon and name you want | 00:12 |
| ahsan | none to help me :( | 00:12 |
| kaito | make it so i can transer pictures and upload them | 00:12 |
| kaito | i cant do either | 00:12 |
| kaito | i got them on the computer....no i cant get them off | 00:12 |
| pitput | right click on the file you want, choose properties, and go under the permissions tab | 00:13 |
| kaito | i did that | 00:13 |
| kaito | it still wont let me | 00:13 |
| pitput | does it give an error? | 00:13 |
| kaito | no | 00:13 |
| kaito | greyed out area for paste | 00:13 |
| pitput | go into permissions and uncheck everything there | 00:14 |
| pitput | then copy and paste again | 00:14 |
| kaito | uncheck what....its dropdown menus | 00:14 |
| pitput | hang on | 00:15 |
| kaito | i have it set for group owner and others....can veiw and modify content | 00:16 |
| pitput | kaito, To view and edit the permissions on files and directories, open the System Menu->Home Folder, right-click on a file or directory, then select Properties. The permissions are found under the Permissions tab and allow for the editing of all permission levels, if you are the owner of the file. | 00:16 |
| kaito | i am the owner....but i reinstalled ubuntu/kubuntu | 00:17 |
| kaito | would that have anything to do with it | 00:17 |
| pitput | that's to tell you how to edit the permissions | 00:17 |

| R3DB0x | how can i tell what driver my ethernet card is using? | 04:37 |
| GinoMan | how is ATI graphics card support on Kubuntu? | 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: What model? | 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | some work just fine with the free/open RadeonHD driver, which is a part of X | 04:48 |
| GinoMan | just in general | 04:48 |
| DaemonFC | they have a list on their X.org page | 04:48 |
| GinoMan | ok | 04:48 |
| GinoMan | does the driver support 3D and crossfire? | 04:48 |
| DaemonFC | a few stil lrequire the binary FGLRX driver from ATI | 04:48 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: I only have one ATI chipset, it's an integrated one from 2005, and I have compositing support | 04:49 |
| DaemonFC | I have no idea how it works on other/newer cards, but I'm happy with my laptop | 04:49 |
| GinoMan | ... I'm trying to offer Linux preloaded computers built by yours truly.... equipped with kubuntu... but I'm trying to narrow my hardware offerings to a small subset of devices with most or full support under Linux | 04:50 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: Your best bet is to read their comaptibility list at X.org and to always keep up with new X.org releases | 04:50 |
| GinoMan | ok... thanks | 04:50 |
| DaemonFC | which ship with new versions of each distribution of course | 04:50 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: Just pick something off their list that says it works, try it yourself, and buy more of them if it works well for you I guess | 04:51 |
| GinoMan | ... I'm wondering if I should take the base system (KDE, Xorg, the Kernel, the GNU Utils) and set up apt to get the lastest builds from another server | 04:52 |
| DaemonFC | most stores have a return policy if it doesn't work, just RMA it if it doesn't work and try again | 04:52 |
| DaemonFC | I'd just play the stupid customer card and tell them it didn't work with my Windows XP | 04:52 |
| DaemonFC | that usually gets them to refund it | 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | :) | 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: Latest builds of what? | 04:53 |
| DaemonFC | You should never replace core system components out of third party repositories unless you're aware of the risks and understand that you could very well hose the system | 04:54 |
| GinoMan | those core software | 04:54 |
| DaemonFC | and probably will for that matter | 04:54 |
| DaemonFC | Fedora has had problems with AtRPMs repository trashing Fedora and replasing the Fedora-Release package with the AtRPMs version, for example | 04:54 |
| DaemonFC | the same sort of thing can happen to any distribution with third party repos that replace system components | 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | *replacing | 04:55 |
| GinoMan | .... even if it's just upgrading to the newest version? | 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | you shouldn't ever replace any critical system package | 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | if you feel you need to, and it's a bug with the one in (K)ubuntu, report the bug | 04:56 |
| DaemonFC | don't go replacing packages left and right | 04:56 |
| DaemonFC | you could end up with a system that doesn't even boot back up really easily | 04:56 |
| GinoMan | gotcha | 04:57 |
| GinoMan | what about replacing X with a newer version? | 04:57 |
| robotronics | i want to create Shutdown launcher with only shutdown icon. Right now both Shutdown and restart icons are comming. | 04:58 |
| robotronics | please tell me how to do? | 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | GinoMan: I highly suspect that you'll mess X up and get dumped at a terminal | 05:00 |
| GinoMan | :( | 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | basically, you're free to mess up your system any way you see fit, but you're not encouraged to do so :) | 05:01 |
| GinoMan | I've observed | 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | or "If you break it, you get to keep both pieces" | 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | best not to poke around | 05:01 |

| GinoMan | .... to find out, I recommend using a CAPTCHA test on me | 05:16 |
| `oobe` | that chould have 4.3.1 | 05:16 |
| telkybuntu | i want something stable | 05:16 |
| telkybuntu | for online banking | 05:16 |

| telkybuntu | thanks | 05:16 |
| telkybuntu | 9.04 has kde 4 ? | 05:17 |
| bbeck | telkybuntu: You can create your own live cd over at SuSE | 05:17 |
| `oobe` | if you install 9.04 you can then upgrade kde | 05:17 |
| telkybuntu | i want it as live cd | 05:17 |
| telkybuntu | 9.04 works as live cd | 05:17 |
| telkybuntu | i dont trust my harddrive | 05:17 |
| telkybuntu | i am getting browser hijacks on my ubuntu install in firefox | 05:18 |
| telkybuntu | see | 05:18 |
| telkybuntu | thats why i need a live cd | 05:18 |
| telkybuntu | or is there maybe a specialized live cd for online banking? | 05:19 |

| `oobe` | download bitdefender | 05:21 |

| `oobe` | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitDefender | 05:21 |
| telkybuntu | bitdefender is a windows app `oobe` | 05:21 |
| telkybuntu | `oobe`: why would i need that? | 05:22 |
| `oobe` | thanks for laughing at me when i know what im talking about and am giving you advice you clearly need do to your lack of fundamental knowledge | 05:22 |
| DaemonFC | **itppretender? | 05:22 |
| DaemonFC | :) | 05:22 |
| telkybuntu | i wonthi | 05:22 |
| telkybuntu | sorry i woke you all up | 05:23 |
| telkybuntu | so is 9.04 a live cd also? | 05:24 |
| `oobe` | you are worried about having a secure connection and you claim your browser is being hijacked therefore scanning with bitdefender isnt a bad idea | 05:24 |
| `oobe` | yes it is | 05:24 |
| telkybuntu | yeah it was being hijacked on Ubuntu `oobe` | 05:24 |
| telkybuntu | not on windows | 05:24 |
| telkybuntu | i was using firefox | 05:24 |
| telkybuntu | IE8 is actually a more secure browser than firefox these days | 05:24 |
| `oobe` | heh then use windows then | 05:25 |
| telkybuntu | nope | 05:25 |
| telkybuntu | i am not saying windows is more secure than linux | 05:25 |
| telkybuntu | i am saying that firefox has had some issues lately | 05:25 |
| telkybuntu | ok i am going to burn 9.04 thanks | 05:26 |
| telkybuntu | :P | 05:26 |
| `oobe` | well 9.04 should be fine | 05:26 |
| telkybuntu | ty `oobe` | 05:26 |
| `oobe` | seems a bit ultra paranoid | 05:26 |
| DaemonFC | telkybuntu: According to a Microsoft funded study, Microsoft IE is more secure | 05:27 |
| DaemonFC | wow, that just makes all the difference in the world | 05:27 |
| DaemonFC | guess I'll go buy Vista | 05:27 |

| DaemonFC | guess someone forgot to tell the spyware writers this great news | 05:28 |
| telkybuntu | i have a problem with the burner the rewriteable cds i have arent clean can i format them with infrarecorder | 05:28 |
| telkybuntu | i am on win7 atm | 05:29 |
| `oobe` | probably | 05:29 |
| `oobe` | but who would know that here | 05:29 |
| telkybuntu | can imgburn do it also? | 05:30 |
| telkybuntu | infrarecorder has opensource icons | 05:30 |
| telkybuntu | so i thought you guys were familiar with it | 05:30 |
| telkybuntu | tango icons | 05:30 |
| `oobe` | most likely but no one can confirm or deny what win7 can or cant do | 05:30 |
| telkybuntu | plus infrarecorder is mentioned on the tutorial for how to burn kubuntu | 05:30 |
| `oobe` | well follow that guide then | 05:31 |
| telkybuntu | it says nothing about erasing | 05:31 |
| telkybuntu | rewriteable cds | 05:31 |
| `oobe` | use nero to erase the disk | 05:31 |
| `oobe` | or check if your other apps can in google | 05:31 |
| telkybuntu | hmz ok ty `oobe` | 05:35 |
| telkybuntu | oh btw do i need to know any passwords to boot into live cd mode? | 05:35 |
| `oobe` | no | 05:36 |

| `oobe` | ner0x, you will find most virtual desktops if not all dont have direct 3d support | 06:09 |
| `oobe` | you are better of tweaking wine or buying cedega which is wine primed for games | 06:09 |

| cq | hello, how can I upgrade to karmic? update-manager -d says it wants to update ubuntu, without the K... is ther a separate update tool for kubuntu? | 08:06 |
| DaemonFC | cq: You could jsut replace all references to Jaunty in your apt sources with "karmic" (no quotes) | 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | then apt-get update | 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | then apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | it might work | 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | never failed on me anyway | 08:08 |
| DaemonFC | (disclaimer) I don't think it's officially supported though | 08:08 |
| cq | ok, thanks | 08:09 |
| cq | update-manager -d seems to want to update only the kubuntu packages anyway, just one or two new harmless gnome packages (icons...), so I'll use that I think | 08:11 |
| DaemonFC | cq: There's some GTK+ stuff included with Kubuntu | 08:13 |
| DaemonFC | so it can dress up GTK+ apps to look native | 08:14 |
| DaemonFC | you'll see that if you bring in Firefox or Xchat or something | 08:14 |
| DaemonFC | you can use GTK+ apps, but QT apps are preferable for obvious reasons | 08:15 |
| DaemonFC | also, things liek Firefox love to bring in half of GNOME :P | 08:15 |
| DaemonFC | *like | 08:15 |
| cq | ok, nice... the kernel is still 31.10 ... I was hoping for .11 as that fixes some intel stuff.... | 08:15 |
| DaemonFC | Firefox on Ubuntu has some very odd dependencies | 08:15 |
| DaemonFC | for example, it will add Synaptic to Kubuntu | 08:15 |
| DaemonFC | I fail to see how Firefox is related to Synaptic, but oh well | 08:16 |
| DaemonFC | I avoid Firefox anyway, I use Konqueror and have Opera as a spare for a few odd sites | 08:16 |
| DaemonFC | my point is that it's not unusual to have some GNOME libraries on a KDE system | 08:16 |
| cq | yeah, seems like it... and if the dependencies ever drop, autoremove takes care of it | 08:19 |
| DaemonFC | cq: Sometimes | 08:21 |
| DaemonFC | you have to look out for orphanes GNOME libraries and GTK+ and Gstreamer packages that apt isn't tracking as orphans for whatever reason | 08:21 |
| DaemonFC | which is another reason to avoid GTK+ apps unless you like spring cleaning by hand now and then | 08:21 |
| DaemonFC | *orphans | 08:22 |

| kaddy | Hi peoples.... Does anybody know how to Downgrade a long list of packages that were recently upgraded ? | 14:15 |
| genii | !downgrade | 14:15 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 14:15 |
| allan8904 | hi | 14:15 |
| allan8904 | am i allowed to ask for help with problems here? | 14:16 |
| James147 | allan8904: just ask :) | 14:17 |
| allan8904 | ok | 14:18 |
| allan8904 | well | 14:18 |
| kaddy | lol allan i was asking for you | 14:18 |
| allan8904 | i hopped on my laptop this morning and booted it up and everything was normal, then about after 2 minutes all the applications that i launched's text has been replaced by random "------ - - - -- - --- --" everwhere so i cant read the buttons or menus or anything. i tried deleting the .kde folder and still nothing | 14:19 |
| allan8904 | LOL symon | 14:19 |
| allan8904 | didnt think you would be on here | 14:19 |
| kaddy | and guys, i wasn't talking about downgrading the distro, i was talking about downgrading libs | 14:19 |
| kaddy | lol | 14:19 |
| kaddy | i'll let you do the talking allan while i continue to search forums. lol. | 14:19 |
| allan8904 | cheers | 14:19 |
| kaddy | i found some info on how to do it, but it will probly bork your system even more. lol | 14:22 |
| genii | kaddy: There's no easy/auto way to downgrade a bunch of packages. On a one-by-one case, you can specify version to be a lower version to install in for instance apt-get with syntax like: sudo apt-get install packagename=specific-version where specific-version is one of the available versions from result of: apt-cache policy packagename | 14:22 |
| allan8904 | gah..just what i need | 14:22 |
| allan8904 | serves me right for leaving my shell assignment to the last minute.... | 14:23 |
| Drake_ | Out of curiostity, does linux have the same style "PATH" variables that a windows OS's use? | 14:24 |
| Drake_ | reason i'm asking is im trying to install chromium and so far googling it hasn't been as helpful as I thought it would be | 14:25 |
| kaddy | lol allan | 14:25 |
| allan8904 | well from my experience linux use's absolute paths and windows uses relative paths | 14:25 |
| allan8904 | if thats the paths you mean | 14:26 |
| Drake_ | http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-gclient <-- thats the step on i'm while installing chromium | 14:26 |
| allan8904 | you do realise thers a repo you can add to your sources.list yeah? | 14:27 |
| kaddy | is this a good time to mention if you were using Opensuse, you could easily downgrade those packages allan. hahahahahahhaha | 14:27 |
| Drake_ | nope I didn't know that lol, sorry I probably should have mentioned i'm a relativiely new linux user | 14:28 |
| allan8904 | lol | 14:28 |
| allan8904 | screw you symon | 14:28 |
| allan8904 | um yeah i'll give you the line | 14:28 |
| allan8904 | lemme find it | 14:28 |
| FloodBotK1 | allan8904: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:28 |
| allan8904 | sorry dude i cant read my sources.list atm (my comps half baked) but theres definately a repo for it | 14:31 |
| allan8904 | try google it | 14:31 |
| Drake_ | alrighty thanks anyways | 14:31 |
| Drake_ | come to think of it, that actually sounds really familiar | 14:32 |
| Drake_ | I'm gunna read through the documentaion again maybe theres a note about it | 14:32 |
| allan8904 | no probs | 14:32 |
| genii | Drake_: the results of: printenv | grep PATH will show you the current paths the system searches. If you want to add others permanently you can edit /home/yourusername/.profile and put 2 lines such as: PATH=/the/path/here and: export PATH | 14:32 |
| allan8904 | so anyone got any idea about my little no text problem? | 14:33 |
| Drake_ | ah thank you genii! | 14:33 |
| genii | Drake_: For it to take effect before next reboot, use: source /home/yourusername/.profile | 14:33 |
| genii | Drake_: You're welcome | 14:33 |
| allan8904 | what component in kubuntu is responsible for text rendering? | 14:47 |

| tom__ | *show | 16:34 |

| James147 | tom__: Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> General -> status bar -> Show space information (at elast on kde 4.3) | 16:36 |
| James147 | tom__: Also shows it in right click -> properties | 16:37 |
| James147 | tom__: wont do it for samba shares through | 16:37 |
| tom__ | ahh thx.. there it is :) i know that it used to display this option when I was still on kde 4.2 :) but I somehow lost it during conversion to 4.3 | 16:37 |

| philipp__ | ok i have an folder called @@@�@8@@@@@@½ï¿½@�@@@������@�@ | 17:16 |
| philipp__ | and i can't delete it | 17:16 |
| philipp__ | i don't know where it comes from | 17:16 |
| James147 | philipp__: in what directory? | 17:17 |
| philipp__ | desktop | 17:17 |
| philipp__ | and if i want to delete it it says, that the file doesn't exist | 17:18 |
| philipp__ | sry it's not a folder it's a file | 17:18 |
| James147 | philipp__: can you pastebin the output of ls -lha ~/Desktop (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/) | 17:19 |
| James147 | philipp__: and past the link here :) | 17:20 |
| philipp__ | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com:80/271032/ | 17:20 |
| James147 | philipp__: I would backup the other files to a temporary directory for now | 17:23 |
| James147 | philipp__: once they are backed up run rm ~/Desktop/* (warning, this will delete everything in Desktop so make sure you back up the other things first) | 17:24 |
| James147 | philipp__: then if it worked copy the backedup files back | 17:25 |
| philipp__ | ok thx | 17:25 |
| philipp__ | ok worked thx | 17:25 |
| James147 | No problem :) | 17:26 |

| bobthemilkman | Specifically, in my .fonts.conf in Kubuntu, I have rgba set to "rgb", and in Gentoo, the same setting makes all sorts of wierd colors appear around text. | 21:37 |

| rejohn | James147: ah, so I just remove that package, then it won't want to update it anymore - thanks. :) | 23:35 |
