[04:24] does ktts work with kde 4 [04:26] is harolddong peterbuldge? [04:27] if it is what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? and i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. [04:29] yes [04:30] nice can u help me? [04:30] I didnt see your question [04:30] the people over in xchat arent helping me at all [04:30] what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? and i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. [04:31] name it kopete [04:31] duh [04:32] i did that but its asking for the application name like gaming names [04:32] theres nothing even resembling an im name in the list [04:33] oh and are the tcp and udp ports the same port number? [04:34] see if you can get pidgin installed and talk to me there [04:34] and no they arent [04:35] I dont think "port forwarding"is really what you want to do. you just want to open ports [04:35] so youare probably in the wrong place in your router control panel. that is the first problem. I remember we went through this same thing before [04:36] secondly, kopete itself doesnt really any ports that need to be opened. its the protocols themselves, like aim and yahoo. I told you this is a txt message the other night [04:36] pretend im a newb and have some compassion ha ha [04:37] that's what I'm doing [04:37] but you're still not getting it [04:37] yeah i remember so why doesnt it work perfectly like it has before? does have anything to do with needing to upgrade kde? [04:38] can you get pidginn installed? [04:38] what am i not getting? what am i not doing right or wrong or overlooking? [04:39] well I explain this stuff to you and the next day you're asking me the same questions or in the exact predicament. its like groundhog day [05:31] Hello, having massive issues with resolution on boot - it resets my res every time I logout...

[10:46] Why can't I see any shared folders from other computers? I installed samba and configured /etc/samba/smb.conf to share folders and restarted samba service... [10:48] I can see other machines from this kubuntu 9.04, but other machines cant see shares from this machine. Is there a FIREWALL blocking sharing or what? [10:49] Why does /etc/samba/smb.conf make any difference, not even a warning when I put something wrong to it? [10:49] gentobuntu: I would make sure samba is useing the same workgroup [10:51] is there any way that the plasma widgets appears only when I push control-f12?? and always in the background of my desktop?? [10:51] is there a way to give openoffice a different theme than everything else? [10:53] Idhan: in kde 4.3 you can have seperate dashboard widgets, so when you push crtl + F12 different widgets will appear, you can configure by zooming out of the desktops (from the cashew) the click configure plasma -> check use seperate dashboard [10:54] Idhan: from what you said you can have no widgets on the desktop, and place widgets on the dashboard so that they appear when you press ctrl+f12 [10:54] James147: It is the same workgroup, here is the conf, it works on Gentoo server like that, http://pastebin.com/d196ac9a2 [10:55] gentobuntu: see if you can access it from the computer thats hosting it [10:57] James147: No. smbtree -does not show any shares, its like /etc/init.d/samba -service does not even read the smb.conf ?? [10:58] gentobuntu: As far as I can tell there isent anything wrong with the config [10:58] James147: smbtree does show shares from other machines.. [10:59] James147: No hyvä kun tuo graafinen juttu ei käynnisty... [10:59] ?? [11:00] James147: where is this "configure plasma"?? [11:00] James147: The graphical "sahre this folder" does not start at all.. [11:00] gentobuntu: is samba installed? [11:01] James147: if I add widgets in the dashboard after I press ctr-f12, and I add there some widgets, after I come back to the desktop the same widgets are there [11:01] Idhan: click the cashew thing thats in the corner of the desktop, you should be able to "zoom out" [11:01] James147: Yes, and I'v /etc/init.d/samba start and allso restart... [11:01] James147: ok [11:02] * Starting Samba daemons [ OK ] [11:03] gentobuntu: not sure whats wrong :s you could try purging samba and reinstalling it [11:03] James147: yes.. I see the zoom out... I try to move some widgets out of the desktop background in the bottom area..but after I stop the drag action, automatically the return to the desktop area [11:04] Idhan: once you have zoomed out there should be a "configure plasma" option, click that and check "use seperate daskpoard" [11:05] Idhan: this is in kde 4.3.1, not sure it is in kde 4.2.X, what version are you useing? [11:05] 4.2.2 [11:05] James147: are you using kubuntu 9.04? [11:06] Idhan: yes, but with kde 4.3.1 [11:06] James147: is that a safe upgrade?? [11:06] Idhan: I think it was added to kde 4.3, if you really want it you can upgrade via http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3.1 [11:07] James147: thanks [11:07] Idhan: You welcome :) === administrator is now known as Guest82427 [12:19] Hi [12:19] Пт [12:25] In what conf file is the delay between login and password defined?

I have Kubuntu Jaunty installed but use gnome more often. One of my users has to change his password regularly yet I have not had to myself. Is this because he has administrative privileges? [14:00] cajun: I know you can set a time at which passwords expire, not sure if its system wide or user wide though [14:02] cajun: in kuser if you double click on a user to get settings for that user there is a "password managment" tab that lets you set password expiry times [14:02] well he's the only user on my system that has to reset. i created a guest account with limited user priveleges and it's pw remains the same. [14:02] cajun: looks to be user spific [14:02] i used the "Users and Groups" manager to create and make changes for both additional users. === kitterma is now known as ScottK-netbook [14:03] kdesudo kuser?

[14:03] i jsut ran kuser and it asked for password :) needs to be root either way [14:05] fo some reason, kuser showed that he is disabled. which is odd [14:05] cajun: maby his password expired? [14:05] how do I get the kmplayer konqueror plugin to work in jaunty it doesnt play anything [14:06] he just changed it again last night [14:06] cajun: either way you can try to enable him and take off the expireing password to see if it works [14:06] kuser is set so that passwords never expire. [14:06] i don't see a way to change this setting for a specific user [14:07] cajun: for me i click on the user, a box pops up with more info, password expriey is on Password Managment tab [14:08] ah. that fixed it. [14:09] he had expire deadlines. [14:09] i have no idea how that happened. [14:09] cajun: but now you know how to fix it :) [14:09] thank you so much. why is this not available in the gnome version of that app? [14:10] cajun: It might be, I dont use gnome so I dont know what is availble for it [14:10] yes. thank you. i just fixed the geust account. It was set to expire in 99999999 days [14:10] cajun: thats prity much never :) [14:12] yeah I know. but I fixed them all to never. [14:12] thank you so much for your help. i like the KDE4 but it doesn't seem as easy to use as the previous version. i can understand how to do everything that I see when I see screenshots of what others have done w/ it. [14:12] someone needs to create a really good tutorial on how to use KDE4. [14:13] cajun: I dont find it that hard to use :S and I know others find it easier to use the gnome [14:14] cajun: and a howto for kde4 would be quite along howto :) there is so much you can do [14:14] they both have their plusses for me. thanks so much for your help. have a good one.

[17:28] konqueror often crashes when using the incremental search [17:29] is there a command I can run to check what type of cpu my ISP is using? [17:30] (from within a telnet prompt) [17:31] rosco_y: cat /proc/cpuinfo? [17:31] pkt, Thank you! [17:31] rosco_y: np [17:33] pkt: do you know how to tell if it is a 32 or 64 bit cpu? [17:33] I want to use some dot net software on my isp, but there is a 32 bit and a 64 bit version, and I don't know which to use [17:35] hey guys how can I extract only 1 folder from my tar.gz backup ?

[17:36] xorred: sorry, I don't know the command line [17:36] I'll bet there is a way, there are a lot of options [17:38] xorred: tar xf tarfile.tar dir [17:38] xorred: tar xzf tarfile.tar.gz dir [17:44] rosco_y: lshw | less - then find "cpu" section.

[17:55] handjob: use dist-upgrade [17:55] handjob: Because the kernel packages are pulled in via a package dependency. You'd need to use apt-get dist-upgrade to get that.

[18:12] I lost my /boot folder and now typing out of a live cd [18:12] I tried to Install kOffice [18:12] however, kubuntu won't let me :( [18:12] lol [18:13] I'm really curious, but I can't install it cuz I'm creating a live CD version [18:13] I have a problem: [18:13] =/ [18:13] My laptop battery is dead [18:13] and it sets the time at 1969 [18:13] everytime I turn it on [18:14] and when I try to boot kubuntu [18:14] how do I proceed if I lost my /boot folder? [18:14] it crashes [18:14] xorred: afaik, you can copy the live CD boot folder to your HD [18:14] relly? [18:14] and how do I reinstall grub then? [18:14] as I have windows too... [18:14] rj_: did you try to boot on text mode? [18:14] don't wanna lose the windows boot loader [18:15] rj_: replace battery [18:15] xorred: you can install grub normally, but you'll need to manually edit your menu.lst [18:15] yes, I did, my only question is "what do I need to so that Linux doesn't check the date?" [18:15] I can replace the battery [18:15] hmmm... but the live cd detects any OSs that are there [18:15] I guess there is a way to follow the same procedure? [18:15] can't [18:15] somehow it automatically detects there is another OS [18:15] no need to manually do anything? [18:16] xorred: it does detect, but during installation [18:16] during the system installation [18:16] it crashes 'cause of the time set at 1969 [18:16] xorred: but it's simple, just 4 small lines, and you can add you Windows partition to the grub list [18:17] so....? [18:17] rj_: buy a battery =/ [18:17] it's cheaper and faster [18:17] Can't [18:17] I'm not in the US [18:17] I'm in latin america [18:17] so.... [18:17] No one ships here [18:18] besides that, it's an ibook.... [18:18] any PC battery is the same [18:18] u can buy one anywhere [18:18] rj_: try to set date very early durring boot to later date [18:18] no, there's no battery inside of apple laptops, well at least on ibooks G3 [18:19] I did that, and Linux was acting stupid.... [18:19] xorred: you must copy the boot folder, generate the boot and init files, and install grub [18:19] wait, during boot ? === nameiner_ is now known as nameiner [18:19] how do you do that?

The problem is when i kill "X" i am automaticly dropped to login ( gdm? ) so i guess i must stop it first however i don't see it in init.d? [18:21] rj_: create file /etc/rcS.d/S01changedate.sh then insert command there that will change date to something closer to 2009 [18:22] rj_: it should work unless it craches sooner than system v [18:22] handjob: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ? [18:22] @Mufasa what is the command? === ivan is now known as Guest55280 [18:22] handjob: ctrl-alt-f1, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, install nvidia then [18:22] that link only explains if you have boot folder untouched [18:22] mine is gone [18:22] rj_: i knew you'd ask… wait i havent done it in ages… [18:23] hi! how to enable video's thumbnails? [18:23] in kde 4.3.x [18:23] The problem is as i pointed before that i don't have "gdm" in my "init.d". Mostly strange. [18:23] (in konqueror or desktop) [18:23] handjob: xdm/kdm? [18:23] llutz: Of course. "Kdm" - thank you kind sir. [18:24] rj_: something like that: date -s 2009.04.08-22:46+0100 [18:25] @Mufasa you sure? [18:25] rj_: no… :) [18:25] rj_: check that in console first [18:25] so... I'm a total newbie.... so how? [18:26] rj_: try alt+f2 and type xterm [18:26] rj_: then inside that window [18:27] nothing happened.... [18:29] hey, for the command, is this correct: "date set="2 OCT 2006 18:00:00"" [18:30] ??? [18:31] rj_: there it is: date -s "wed jul 30 19:41:00 BST 2008" [18:31] that works [18:32] @mufasa ok, so I'm about to restart my laptop....

[22:41] fujitsu-siemens amilo m3438g [22:43] i know fu-si laptops are a little weird when it comes to suspend/resume, any error messages?

[22:44] at least peeps are talking [22:44] so I was wondering... how do I get the desktop cube effect to work like it did in compiz? IE ctrl+alt+mouseclick + mousemove? [22:45] dracnoc: hence why I said easy on them please, [22:45] ikonia: no probs, i'm just glad the room is moving [22:45] and what the heck is this? (just came up) freenode-connect [freenode@freenode/bot/connect] requested CTCP VERSION from epimeth: [22:46] if it's quiet, no need to make it noisey, just ask a support question and if someone knows the answer they will answer [22:46] epimeth: a freenode bot, the guys in #freenode can explain it for you [22:46] * epimeth pumps up the jams [22:47] ikonia: I figured... thanks tho [22:48] epimeth: did you look install the "desktop-effects-kde" package? [22:49] look to install* [22:49] damn, that was a terrible typo [22:50] dracnoc: I don't want compiz as my window manager... I just want to know if the kdm effects allow me to configure it like compiz does by default? I don't like ctrl+f11 to pop it up and enter to select the desktop I want [22:52] kde effects uses compiz, all part of the same thing, but you can configure the key combo [22:52] when stuck on grey screen, my system keeps responding to x events (i can blindly write to a shell ) === ubuntu is now known as Benny23 [22:53] dracnoc: it uses compiz, yes, but its integrated into kdm... like I said, I don't want compiz to be my window manager! When trying to configure the shortcut, mouseclick is not an option.... [22:54] [75074.252098] r8169 0000:01:05.0: wake-up capability disabled by ACPI [22:54] dmesg output ?? [22:54] luca, fu-si laptops are funny things, some really weird hardware in there. You may not have much luck with the greyscreen resume/suspend problem. It has been a weakness of (K)ubuntu in the past. Unless someone has found a solution by accident, you may be stuck. [22:56] epimeth: give me a moment, I have it running here. I'll have a play with the options. What's your mouse device (touchpad, mouse (PS2/USB))? [22:59] epimeth: my mouse seems to work here. [22:59] epimeth: not sure why yours is not recognised [23:00] (as a key combo) [23:00] dracnoc: touchpad... where did you change your settings? [23:02] epimeth: I have the compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) installed. The key combo should work through that. [23:03] dracnoc: after a reboot I can switch between battery and ac without any problem. After suspension I can't switch to ac anymore, unless i connect power cable while on suspension and then wake up. could you tell me wich log file to look into? [23:03] my laptop is one step to work perfectly [23:03] please help me [23:03] luca, give me a few minutes. I'll try to find out what i can [23:04] thanks! [23:07] luca: it seems to be a problem running back to 2005... hold on [23:08] luca: you can run with ACPI support off, but you will lose battery indicators [23:09] luca: there appears to be no fix === tyxa is now known as tyxa_ [23:11] dracnoc: I serched a lot on my issue but without success. can you tell me where you found those infos? [23:13] luca, sorry, i compile info from a lot of different sources (some of read at over 2000+ words/minute). It's a general opinion from various forums ubuntuforums.org/linuxquestions.org, etc. I may have missed something (I'm only human afterall!), but those two are a good start.

[23:23] wb luca [23:25] it seems that my issue is vanishing after log-out [23:26] and i don't have any issue with gnome or fluxbox [23:26] can i force logout before any suspension? [23:27] ok... so it's not a hardware issue. [23:29] luca: logout before suspension? Doesn't one contradict the other? You cannot "suspend" an account if you have logged out of it... [23:32] why? I'm talking about suspension to ram. If i suspend at the login screen that would save a lot of time in comparison to a full reboot [23:32] ah, i see... excuse me. [23:32] hold on. [23:33] for sure, it would be more usefull to suspend the logged session [23:33] ah, i'm running nvidia drivers! [23:35] It seems to be a problem with even modern Fu-Si hardware (no real surprises there!) [23:36] I can easily link to 500+ pages with Fu-Si laptops with suspend to RAM problems. You may have a insolvable problem!! [23:40] I go back to my original point that Fu-Si laptops are a pain to work with, the H/W is a little odd at best, at the Sus. to RAM is a "fortunate" and somewhat minimal problem from what I can see. [23:40] tank you ! I will try disabling nvidia proprietary drivers, If all goes well with the open driver i may send an e-mail to nvidia! [23:42] luca: good luck! [23:42] thanks!
