[00:09] <happyhessian> how do i get knetworkmanager to "manage" eth0 if for some reason it is showing me "not managed" when i hover and ifupdown (eth0) when i click on the logo?
[00:35] <Guest69967> hey, i have a broadcom airforce 1 wireless card and it is not working with 9.04
[00:35] <Guest69967> and nothing shows up under proprietary drivers in hardware
[00:36] <Guest69967> i should be using proprietary broadcom kernel modules and it appears they are loaded but thier not listed in my device drivers, does this mean thier not getting used?
[00:40] <Guest69967> hmm, lively today
[01:10] <TechN9ne> Hi all how do i connect Kubuntu 9.04 to ubutnu using only crossover cable?
[01:34] <maple1> how do I commit suicide properly?
[01:34] <Pincushion> nice
[01:34] <LjL> maple1: stay in #ubuntu-offtopic for 10 more minutes
[01:34] <Lord_Drachenblut> maple1: install gentoo stage 1 on a 286
[01:34] <LjL> you'll find the right inspiration
[01:34] <Pincushion> I agree with Drachenblut
[01:35] <Lord_Drachenblut> but i hope to one day have the chance to run a gentoo system on a quantum computer and run make world
[01:35] <Pincushion> I guess you can play God at that point.
[01:36] <Pincushion> Do you have to run make clean first?
[01:36] <Lord_Drachenblut> hmmm maybe i am thinking the wrong command... has been awhile since i have run gentoo. the one that rebuilds the entire system
[01:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> i want to know how long it takes on a computer that is suppose to have the answer before you ask it
[01:38] <Pincushion> Not sure, I ran it once and it took so long to get where I wanted to (Celeron 400), that I went to something else.
[01:45] <douglask> Question: in Kmail and Konversation (haven't tested others), help, <app> handbook throws an error reading, "The file or folder help:/konversation/index.html does not exist."  Any ideas on how to resolve this?
[01:58] <Balsaq> anyone here good at getting online videos to play at the correct speed in buntu? i heard driver support for older ATI cards is a problem, found a card by nvivia that fits my machine and nvidia says they have drivers for buntu, i am non technical newbie-does this sound like a legitimate fix for my slow playing online vids?
[01:58] <Balsaq> havent bought the nvidia yet-trying to find out if i am on track before the purchase
[02:06] <Balsaq> does the video card and the drivers have anything to do with the the speed at which online videos play?
[02:11] <douglask> Balsaq: rarely.
[02:12] <douglask> more often, it's an issue of the speed of the download.  here's how to check:
[02:12] <douglask> on youtube.com, start a vid, pause it until the whole bar is grey (fully loaded), then play it.
[02:14] <LuisJa> hello i need some help
[02:15] <LuisJa> i am not able to play runescape HD, before upgrading to kubuntu 9.04 (like 1 month and half ago) i could play
[02:15] <douglask> LuisJa: it's ok to just ask your question.  You'll find that is true in most IRC help type channels.
[02:15] <LuisJa> pls i am desesperate, i love runescape HD
[02:15] <LuisJa> oh lol
[02:15] <LuisJa> pls =S
[02:16] <douglask> No worries.  Now, I've never played runescape in my life, so I'm not really able to help.
[02:16] <LuisJa> oh ok...
[02:16] <LuisJa> but is rare
[02:16] <LuisJa> i will tell u what happen
[02:16] <LuisJa> i was happy playing in 8.04
[02:16] <douglask> sure ...
[02:16] <LuisJa> then i upgraded
[02:17] <LuisJa> after that, i could not play for nearly 2 weeks because it said:
[02:17] <LuisJa> unable to play, u dont have the lastest java
[02:17] <LuisJa> but it was the sudo aptitude install sunjava from repos...
[02:17] <LuisJa> i think a actu fixed it
[02:17] <douglask> Ok, make sure you install the sun java 6 runtime package
[02:18] <LuisJa> BUT, now everytime i click in play in HD, nothing happens, it stays in standart...
[02:18] <LuisJa> what??
[02:18] <douglask> Ok, HD is like high def output, yes?
[02:18] <LuisJa> indeed
[02:18] <douglask> In that case, look at the video driver.
[02:19] <LuisJa> i got an nvidia
[02:19] <LuisJa> what i can do?
[02:19] <LuisJa> its maybe: that or a java problem, dont know what to do
[02:20] <douglask> Under the system menu, check "hardware drivers" and see if there are any available updates.
[02:21] <LuisJa> ok
[02:21] <douglask> Other than that I dunno.
[02:22] <LuisJa> mmm
[02:22] <LuisJa> nop
[02:22] <LuisJa> not actu it seems
[02:22] <LuisJa> damn,,,
[02:22] <FloodBotK1> LuisJa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:23] <LuisJa> srry
[02:23] <douglask> LuisJa: don't worry, it's a bot.
[02:23] <LuisJa> oh!
[02:24] <douglask> if it sees 4 lines in a row from one person, it reminds the user.
[02:27] <LuisJa> u need to be a member tu report a problem in runescape...
[02:27] <LuisJa> is there not another place someone can help me?
[02:29] <douglask> LuisJa: not that I know of... I'd search for any online forums.
[02:49] <afeijo> its normal that my CPU temp is 72C ?
[02:59] <douglask> afeijo: that sounds on the high side.
[03:01] <afeijo> douglask: my fan is a bit noisy

[03:02] <windsplunts> Hello
[03:02] <windsplunts> I was wondering if someone can help me with Spring, the RTS... Its being very laggy
[03:07] <douglask> afeijo: I'd shut down, and use some compressed air or a vacuum to clean out that heat sink and fan.  You may want to take it to a shopt and get a new heatsink / fan on it.
[03:09] <afeijo> douglask: I replaced the heat-sink about 16 month ago, time to do it again?
[03:09] <afeijo> my case have extra fans
[03:09] <afeijo> 12x12 on the back
[03:13] <ubuntu> hola
[03:17] <vertago1> anyone know why kwrite would work from konsole but not from the application menu?
[03:17] <joshjtl> hey folks, is there something i need to do to get the Remember the Milk plasma to work?
[03:18] <tmerriam_> hi, im trying to compile a custom kernel and it says it runs out of space, but i dont know where. everything looks like it has plenty of room
[03:18] <tmerriam_> @vertagol try pasting the command in the kwrite link to console and see what happens
[03:18] <vertago1> it works
[03:18] <vertago1> "kwrite %U"
[03:19] <tmerriam_> hmm, thats weird. ive only ever seen that with wine
[03:20] <vertago1> yeah I think I am going crazy. When I launch it from the app menu or by right clicking a file and doing open with I get: "A KDE text-editor component could not be found.
[03:20] <vertago1> Please check your KDE installation."
[03:21] <vertago1> actually
[03:21] <vertago1> I think it is related to updating to 4.3.2
[03:21] <vertago1> let me try to restart kde and see if that fixes it
[03:21] <vertago1> brb
[03:25] <vertago1> tmerriam_ yes, restarting fixed it
[03:26] <tmerriam_> ah, cool
[03:27] <vertago1> anyone heard anything about when the glitches on intel graphics chips will be resolved?
[03:30] <tmerriam_> the alphas and betas looked a lot better
[03:30] <tmerriam_> *beta
[03:31] <vertago1> what kernel are they using?
[03:33] <vertago1> 2.6.31
[03:33] <tmerriam_> 30, i think
[03:33] <tmerriam_> oh 31?
[03:33] <vertago1> yeah they don't freeze the kernel until a few weeks from now
[03:34] <tmerriam_> ....it comes out in a few weeks
[03:34] <tmerriam_> isnt it frozen?
[03:39] <vertago1> trying to find the calendar, I was looking at it yesterday
[03:40] <vertago1> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule
[03:40] <vertago1> kernel freeze is the 15th
[03:41] <douglask> vertago1: cool to knoww.
[03:41] <vertago1> anyone using the beta?
[03:42] <tv9> who one using kubuntu 8.4?
[03:42] <Lord_Drachenblut> vertago1: I have been using it since alpha 4 on my main laptop
[03:43] <Lord_Drachenblut> and it fixed a screen flicker issue i was having before
[03:43] <tv9> I am using kubuntu 8.4 as client in my network. We are using Apple SMB server for data sharing. i am able to read and write permission in my apple SMB server storage from my client system (Kubuntu 8.4). I successfully mount SMB server in client system automatically.
[03:43] <tv9>  But when ever i try to make sub folder in storage like ( Storage/Ashit/Ashish ) its creat that but after that i can not access that folder from same system but i can access that folder from my other network system which is working on Win Xp os. So advice me what i have to do i can access Storage, Ashit but i can not access Ashish, which is created by me from same system.
[03:43] <FloodBotK1> tv9: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:44] <vertago1> don't folders need the x permission to open?
[03:44] <tmerriam_> yeah, on linux. not sure how smb works. using nfs here
[03:45] <vertago1> tv9 try giving the folders the x permission
[03:45] <tv9> i can open but can't right......
[03:46] <tmerriam_> not owner/wrong permission?
[03:47] <douglask> I wonder if karmic will resolve an issue I've got where I cannot come bak from suspend to ram.
[03:47] <tv9> all permission i given to mount point...
[03:48] <vertago1> there is some flag you can set to propagate permissions down the tree, let me look it up
[03:49] <douglask> chmod -R or -r prolly.  run chmod --help to find out
[03:50] <tv9> there is on mount point one trycon is there the colour is green
[03:50] <tv9> that meance it is connected
[03:51] <vertago1> you might check the umask
[03:51] <vertago1> that affects the permissions of new files you create
[03:56] <tv9> i can wright on my page but can't on sub folder supose /storage/asit is created but can't wright on 'asit'
[03:57] <LuisJa> i got a problem triying to play runescape HD: the HD is not working, it worked fine before i had kubuntu 32bit, but i reinstalled and used 64bit, now HD doesnt wanna load: i click, but the buttons does nothing, it keeps in standart (works fine), can someone help me?

[15:34] <kaddi> Hi, wine somehow got associated to bat and exe files and automatically executes them, when I click on them. I would like to get the dialog back asking what to do with the file. Were can I set that?
[15:36] <basajaun> hi get no disc error in kscd, but kscd playlist itemizes titles so obviously something in kscd points at wrong deveice what to do ?
[15:37] <Spaceman> maybe right click the bat/exe files and select properties
[15:37] <BluesKaj> kaddi, exe files are windows executable , they won't work without wine so they are auto-associated with wine
[15:37] <Spaceman> remove wine from the list of applications
[15:38] <kaddi> BluesKaj: I know, but I do a lot of malware related work and I don't want them to be accidentally executed
[15:38] <Spaceman> system config / file types and search for exe / bat
[15:38] <donovanh> goodday all. new to ubunto and having a blast. But have a little problem or 2. anyone available
[15:38] <Spaceman> ask away
[15:38] <kaddi> and it used to be that it asked if I wanted to execute the files with wine, which I could confirm or deny
[15:39] <BluesKaj> well then right click on the fiel to associate it with something that can't launch it
[15:39] <kaddi> Can't I just get back the dialog which asked me if I wanted to open the file with wine or kate or anything else?
[15:39] <BluesKaj> unless you want to dump wine
[15:40] <donovanh> Well i just got my new laptop. BYE BYE windows. its now running kubunto. it comes with an ATI card. I have got it configured to use the ati drivers and can set it up via sudo amdcccle.
[15:40] <donovanh> However. It only seems to be able to use bigdesktop.
[15:40] <donovanh> i was kinda hoping to use independant screens. so i can use different resolutions
[15:40] <BluesKaj> it's kubuntu not kubunto / ubunto
[15:41] <donovanh> thanks for my spelling correction
[15:42] <donovanh> however when i set it to indepandant displays my taskbar dissapears and i cant drap windows to the second monitor is there something im doing wrong
[15:42] <donovanh> ?
[15:42] <BluesKaj> donovanh, that's an interesting request ..simultaneously ?...dunno if ATI is capable
[15:43] <donovanh> ..simultaneously ? What you mean by that
[15:45] <BluesKaj> at the same time
[15:46] <donovanh> i know what it means, i mean do you want to know if i want to run the monitors at the same time.. the answer will be yes i do unless you know a better way to dual view using ATI.
[15:46] <donovanh> It does allow be to do it as i can drag my cursor to the next window. however i cant drag a window etc
[15:51] <salim> #windows
[15:52] <donovanh> how do i resart x with rebooting the entire machine
[15:52] <donovanh> without
[15:54] <donovanh> as in i want my new xorg.conf options to be applied
[15:54] <kaddi> you can log of and select restart x in the dropdown menu at the login screen
[15:54] <kaddi> or if you enabled dontzap you can hit ctrl+alt+del (I think, haven't used it in a while)
[16:11] <EvilRoey> Hello
[16:11] <EvilRoey> any chance that Kubuntu 9.10 will come with kernel 2.6.32?
[16:12] <kaddi> EvilRoey: I think that question is best asked in #ubuntu+1 But my guess would be no. Release is scheduled for in 2 weeks, I doubt they're going to switch the kernel til then.
[16:13] <EvilRoey> aah
[16:13] <EvilRoey> eesh.  I need taht r600 ati driver of 2.6.32
[16:14] <kaddi> you might be able to upgrade the kernel independently. I've used 2.6.30 with intrepid before.
[16:14] <kaddi> but I guess you will need someone doing the packages. ..
[16:18] <StaszkuSkosztuj> identify Pin27011986
[17:06] <Laeborg> i need a network manager there can auto connect to a hidden network (disabled ssid broadcast) and with support for vpn through pptp
[17:09] <natschil> Hello. I would like to suggest that the following patch/workaround http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1755/ be put into  the ubuntu packages, as not doing so would break the user experience for some of those of use who use compiz and kde together from 4.2 to 4.3
[17:14] <SeicherlBoB> Is there a way to disable wifi and bluetooth on system startup (except rc.local)? Something like parameters when loading the modules?
[17:14] <jhutchins_lt> I suppose you could blacklist the driver, or alias it off.
[17:15] <SeicherlBoB> jhutchins_lt: i dont want to disable it completely, i only want it to be powered off at startup and start them on demand with acpi keys
[17:16] <jhutchins_lt> SeicherlBoB: Have a look at startup services.
[17:16] <SeicherlBoB> jhutchins_lt: what do you mean by that?
[17:17] <SeicherlBoB> jhutchins_lt: i could just put the kill-wifi commands to rc.local, but i thougt there was another "nicer" way.
[17:19] <NoReflex> Hello! I'm using Kubuntu Karmic beta and I would like to install smplayer and mplayer. The problem is that mplayer from karmic's repos is old. I need mplayer with vdpau support (nvidia 8600 m GT)! Is there an updated repo with mplayer?
[17:21] <kaddi> NoReflex: this question is best asked in #ubuntu+1 since karmic is not out officially yet
[17:23] <NoReflex> kaddi: I'm also have a kubuntu jaunty machine and I'm searching for a solution for both
[17:24] <kaddi> NoReflex: there is a rep for an updated mplayer for jaunty I believe, don't know about karmic. one sec
[17:25] <kaddi> NoReflex: I added this one to my sources.list with jaunty: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rvm/mplayer/ubuntu jaunty main I'm not sure which version was proposed there, which one do you need at least=
[17:27] <kaddi> https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer it looks as if the packages are also up to date for karmic: https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer
[17:28] <kaddi> gotta run. see you
[17:30] <antlarr> hi
[17:30] <antlarr> I'm adding a remote ipp printer using systemsettings, and I'm getting an error "the password may be incorrect" although I'm not being asked any password
[17:30] <antlarr> any idea of what's happening?
[17:33] <jhutchins_lt> antlarr: You can set the password in the uri, I believe it's ipp://user:password@address
[17:35] <antlarr> aah, of course, I didn't think of that, let's try...
[17:35] <Morydd> klipper is not showing up in my panel, but when I try to start it from konsole, it says it's already running. Any suggestions for getting it back?
[17:36] <NoReflex> Morydd: try to find  it with ps aux, then kill the pid and start again
[17:37] <antlarr> jhutchins_lt: nop, it doesn't allow me to edit the uri
[17:38] <Morydd> NoReflex: still no icon.
[17:48] <Karlita> Hello everyone! I just installed kubuntu and trying out linux first time ever =) I read that amarok is perfect to listen to music with. So i tried but it did not work, over at their channel they said I miss mp3 codecs and that I should ask here how to get them. Could someone please guide me?
[17:49] <jhutchins_lt> Karlita: You probably need to add the PLF repositories and update.
[17:49] <kishore> Hi I was just wondering why Qt applications in kubuntu are not compiled with QT_NODEBUG_OUTPUT defined. Is there any strong reason for this?
[17:49] <antlarr> Karlita: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)
[17:49] <jhutchins_lt> Karlita: Um, no, stupid, wrong distro, sorry.  See antlarr's response.
[17:50] <Karlita> Thank you guys
[17:50] <antlarr> Karlita: you're welcome
[17:51] <jhutchins_lt> Amarok 1's a pretty good music manager.  Jury's still out on 2.x.
[17:51] <jhutchins_lt> Karlita: You may also be interested in xine as a player, and VLC or mplayer which include video.
[17:51] <jhutchins_lt> Karlita: I haven't tried banshee yet, it's an alternative to Amarok.
[17:52]  * Morydd vastly disliked 2 but I haven't looked at it again since I downgraded a few months ago.
[17:52] <Karlita> I will certainly try them. Thank you
[17:53] <antlarr> and amarok 2.2 was released a few days ago, be sure to try that one
[17:54] <ovrdrive> anyone alive
[17:55] <Karlita> May I ask, one last question. I've ben using windows until like 1 hr ago when i installed kubuntu. I am trying to get a vnc viewer. Any idea where I can find? I found tightvnc, which I also used in windows. But there are only a tar.bz file. I dunno how to install that?
[17:55] <natschil> hello. On what irc channel can I suggest a patch to kubuntu?
[17:56] <maco> natschil: #kubuntu-devel, though usually youd file a bug and attach it
[17:56] <natschil> maco: thanks
[17:57] <antlarr> Karlita: krdc
[17:57] <antlarr> Karlita: or just press Alt-f2  and write  vnc://host  or vnc://host:port
[17:58] <Karlita> Thank you =) will try out the krdc :)
[17:59] <Karlita> antlarr: sudo apt-get install krdc is not working?
[18:01] <Karlita> nm it was installed :P
[18:04] <Morydd> Am I correct that the new versions of Firefox and Thunderbird won't be in the "regular" repos until the next version of kubuntu is released?
[18:36] <Karlita> Oh oh.. I got a biiiig problem :( My sound is not working. It works when i log in.. then it displays a notfication that intel hd is not working
[18:37] <Karlita> I got two soundcards.. One integrated , in my intel motherboard and one creative fatal1ty soundcard
[18:38] <dwidmann> Karlita: might want to try blacklisting the creative card
[18:39] <Karlita> Blacklisting it? but thats a better soundcard than the integrated one?
[18:39] <dwidmann> Karlita: not without functional drivers it isn't?
[18:40] <Karlita> dwidmann: Oh well I don't know :P I am barely a 2 hr linux user. Just installed it so I am kinda clueless
[18:40] <dwidmann> I can double check, but I doubt that card will work well
[18:44] <dwidmann> Karlita: hmm, it might work with the emu20k1 driver, not sure though
[18:45] <dwidmann> Karlita: anyhow, I would try blacklisting either it or the other soundcard because they might conflict
[18:45] <Karlita> dwidmann: sure i can blacklist the creative. How tho?
[18:47] <dwidmann> Karlita: create a file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder - you can call it whatever you want to. in that file put "blacklist emu20k1", save it and restart.
[18:48] <Karlita> dwidmann: Oki, one second, gonna google how to create a file
[18:48] <dwidmann> Karlita: you'll need admin privileges to do it ... so pull up run command (alt + f2), type in 'kdesudo kate' (kdesudo will get you the root privileges, kate is a text editor)
[18:51] <SilentWarrior> Can anyone help me setup Grub for booting windows and my kubuntu install? http://pastie.org/645693 has bit more info, for some reason my boot loader went retarded. Thanks
[18:52] <jamesjedimaster> !dualboot
[18:57] <SilentWarrior> jamesjedimaster: hey, I am trying to make a "root (hd0,0)" but it isnt working, i am booting as a live cd, so, something most be off, is there a grub command to get a list of available partitions?
[18:58] <jamesjedimaster> check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:58] <SilentWarrior> in what partition?
[18:58] <SilentWarrior> its a live cd
[18:58] <darkmatter> "cat /proc/partitions" form the shell
[18:58] <jamesjedimaster> where it is / installed
[18:58] <SilentWarrior> i had windows, and kubuntu inside it with Wubi xD
[18:59] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: thx
[18:59] <jamesjedimaster> sorry, i don't have experience with wubi
[18:59] <darkmatter> i used wubi once
[18:59] <SilentWarrior> no worries, just have to boot windows again and it should work
[18:59] <darkmatter> i found a script to extract a wubi install into a partition
[19:00] <darkmatter> that was sometime ago so I don't quite recall its name
[19:00] <darkmatter> jamesjedimaster, / is not a partition on the harddisk
[19:01] <SilentWarrior> http://pastie.org/645713 can you help me understand what of this relates to the grub command line terminology?
[19:01] <SilentWarrior> i guess sda is the one i want
[19:01] <jamesjedimaster> i meant the partition where / is installed, i didn't know he is using wubi
[19:02] <darkmatter> SilentWarrior, if you're using wubi, I don't think kubuntu is actually installed on the disk
[19:02] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: it is xD
[19:02] <darkmatter> i may be wrong though
[19:02] <darkmatter> i think wubi uses a loopback device
[19:03] <SilentWarrior> http://pastie.org/645693
[19:03] <darkmatter> a file within the windows filesystem
[19:03] <SilentWarrior> it displays as Xubuntu tho
[19:03] <SilentWarrior> but its kubuntu
[19:04] <SilentWarrior> but, dont worry about wubi, I want it to start booting windows again, once it does, wubi should pick up just fine too
[19:04] <SilentWarrior> basically, i need help setting up grub on the first sda
[19:04] <SilentWarrior> http://pastie.org/645713
[19:05] <darkmatter> you'll break your system
[19:05] <SilentWarrior> too late
[19:05] <SilentWarrior> already is
[19:05] <darkmatter> kubuntu isn't installed on the HD, it's installed in a file on the windows filesystem. A very large file
[19:06] <SilentWarrior> odly enough, i took out a dvd rom, and system stop booting, thats why i need to fix my MBS
[19:06] <darkmatter> you took out a dvd-rom drive?
[19:07] <SilentWarrior> yup
[19:07] <darkmatter> how would that affect your MBR?
[19:07] <SilentWarrior> to fix my brothers pc, then MBR got screwed
[19:07] <SilentWarrior> dont ask me
[19:07] <SilentWarrior> Windows moves in misterious ways
[19:07] <darkmatter> unlikely
[19:07] <SilentWarrior> anyways, all my data is there
[19:08] <darkmatter> windows might be reacting badly to a hardware change
[19:08] <SilentWarrior> just checked with ubuntu live cd
[19:08] <SilentWarrior> all my hardware is back inside it now tho
[19:08] <darkmatter> it's very improbable for your MBR to spontaneously change
[19:08] <SilentWarrior> just need it to start booting again
[19:08] <darkmatter> boot windows in safe-mode
[19:08] <SilentWarrior> it says i dont have a system
[19:08] <SilentWarrior> same as if u unplug all harddrives ya know
[19:09] <SilentWarrior> thats typical MBR error
[19:09] <SilentWarrior> or un-existance of it
[19:09] <SilentWarrior> rite?
[19:09] <darkmatter> you have a windows problem
[19:10] <SilentWarrior> i think my windows is fine
[19:10] <SilentWarrior> as the data is fine
[19:10] <SilentWarrior> just ... isnt booting
[19:11] <SilentWarrior> it isnt actually calling the "start windows" thingy
[19:11] <SilentWarrior> just passes all bios info, then says he cant find a system
[19:11] <SilentWarrior> this happens to me from time to time
[19:12] <SilentWarrior> normally i was about to reformat anyways, so, i dont really care, but this time its diferent
[19:12] <darkmatter> is your bios OK?
[19:12] <SilentWarrior> i just want to fix my MBR
[19:12] <SilentWarrior> -.-'
[19:12] <darkmatter> removing a drive could affect the BIOS
[19:12] <SilentWarrior> everything is fine
[19:13] <SilentWarrior> everything no... everything except MBR
[19:13] <SilentWarrior> i beleave
[19:14] <darkmatter> SilentWarrior, your MBR is window's based
[19:15] <SilentWarrior> yup
[19:15] <SilentWarrior> and now i want Grub
[19:15] <darkmatter> too late
[19:15] <SilentWarrior> so it doesnt break so often
[19:15] <darkmatter> if linux was installed on a separate partition, you could do that now
[19:16] <SilentWarrior> why is that
[19:16] <darkmatter> in that case you'd know the root and boot partitions
[19:16] <darkmatter> as it is, there's a virtual disk somewhere in the windows FS holding linux
[19:17] <SilentWarrior> here : http://pastie.org/645693 http://pastie.org/645713
[19:17] <SilentWarrior> isnt there it?
[19:17] <SilentWarrior> that*
[19:18] <SilentWarrior> everything shows up in there
[19:18] <itstk> grr
[19:18] <SilentWarrior> if i can boot sda, i should be able to boot wubi
[19:18] <SilentWarrior> too
[19:18] <SilentWarrior> rite?
[19:18] <darkmatter> the first file is a windows boot.ini, it has nothing to do with linux
[19:18] <itstk> has anyone had issues updating flash at all?.. ive uninstalled flash 9 and tried installing flash 10.. everything seems to be going ok but it still says i have flash 9.. any insight?
[19:18] <darkmatter> the second is simply what the current kernel you're running has detected
[19:19] <darkmatter> SilentWarrior: windows XP or vista?
[19:20] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: the first one, shows information about where the windows partition is, the (0)s you see there, the secund one, shows that the partitions arent hidden or missing
[19:20] <SilentWarrior> windows xp
[19:20] <SilentWarrior> vista has some wierd bootloader
[19:20] <SilentWarrior> but thats not the case
[19:20] <darkmatter> i hate to say this but
[19:20] <darkmatter> back up the boot.ini
[19:20] <darkmatter> and reinstall windows
[19:20] <SilentWarrior> cant i just make Grub point to it?
[19:21] <SilentWarrior> and install grub in the MBR
[19:21] <SilentWarrior> because i dont want to reinstall windows
[19:21] <SilentWarrior> beats the point of all this trouble
[19:22] <SilentWarrior> i want to keep my data (programs, settings, files)
[19:22] <darkmatter> reinstalling windows won't necessarily wipe your data
[19:22] <darkmatter> do an "upgrade" rather than fresh install
[19:22] <SilentWarrior> not all
[19:22] <SilentWarrior> most
[19:22] <SilentWarrior> settings gone, programs gone, etc
[19:22] <darkmatter> nope
[19:23] <SilentWarrior> the registry wont be updated either
[19:23] <SilentWarrior> so, will have to fresh reinstall everything
[19:23] <darkmatter> no need
[19:23] <darkmatter> i'd rather not be dispensing windows advice right now
[19:23] <SilentWarrior> if all i need is to get it loaded by the bootloader, then why reinstall it all?
[19:23] <darkmatter> but you can do a re-install rather than a fresh install
[19:24] <darkmatter> it will replace it's MBR
[19:24] <SilentWarrior> yah, so will installing Ubuntu
[19:24] <SilentWarrior> so will, replacing MBR by hand
[19:24] <darkmatter> that too
[19:24] <SilentWarrior> but replacing MBR by hand wont make my windows suffer nor will make my wubi install inside it suffer
[19:25] <SilentWarrior> right?
[19:25] <darkmatter> sounds easy
[19:25] <darkmatter> you'll need a boot partition
[19:26] <SilentWarrior> the boot partition can be my windows one, right?
[19:26] <SilentWarrior> i have already grub copied to /boot/grub
[19:26] <SilentWarrior> inside it
[19:26] <darkmatter> i doubt that the kernel will boot from NTFS
[19:26] <darkmatter> dunno
[19:27] <SilentWarrior> now, i need to make MBR call grub
[19:27] <darkmatter> SilentWarrior, simplest solution is the least pleasant one. reinstall windows. free your ubuntu and give it it's own partition
[19:28] <darkmatter> choose upgrade rather than fresh installation
[19:28] <darkmatter> windows will replace missing files and rewrite the MBR WITHOUT deleting your files and programs
[19:28] <SilentWarrior> i would rather try the MBR solution before i screw anything else you know :/
[19:29] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: check this one out : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo
[19:29] <SilentWarrior> where it says Recovering GRUB after reinstalling Windows
[19:30] <darkmatter> that probably isn't a wubi install
[19:31] <SilentWarrior> forget wubi please, suppose i just want a simple "boot windows"
[19:31] <SilentWarrior> if wubi isnt working after, I can copy all my stuff easlity
[19:31] <darkmatter> grub still requires a menu.lst file and i don't know what else
[19:31] <SilentWarrior> because *ubuntu is cool like that
[19:32] <darkmatter> it won't take NTFS
[19:32] <SilentWarrior> you sure?
[19:32] <darkmatter> http://www.techzonez.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3975
[19:33] <darkmatter> it's just because of problems like these that i switched to linux in the first place
[19:33] <darkmatter> SilentWarrior, http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6031733.html look at No 7
[19:34] <darkmatter> i used recovery console once, it was a bad experience. caveat emptor
[19:34] <SilentWarrior> yeah, well, i still have to use windows, but i use Macosx, windows and kubuntu (and xubuntu on my laptop)
[19:35] <darkmatter> this would be a non-issue if ubuntu had it's own partition
[19:36] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: but, then again, windows wouldnt boot would it
[19:36] <darkmatter> replacing with grub would be easy
[19:37] <SilentWarrior> ohh, i see where your main point is, i cant install grub because i have only NTFS, am I right?
[19:37] <SilentWarrior> if i didnt.. then it would be possible to use Grub
[19:37] <darkmatter> exactly
[19:38] <SilentWarrior> why didnt u say so in the first place? xD
[19:38] <SilentWarrior> i was all confused for no reason
[19:38] <darkmatter> i kept saying wubi
[19:38] <SilentWarrior> wubi is inside windows ntfs partition so, wouldnt really help
[19:38] <darkmatter> just backup your boot.ini
[19:39] <darkmatter> let windows fix it's own MBR
[19:39] <SilentWarrior> C:\wubildr.mbr = "Xubuntu"
[19:39] <darkmatter> boot from a windows install CD and use recovery console or do a reinstall to replace missing files
[19:39] <jhutchins_lt> Why couldn't you use boot to chainload the windows bootloader?
[19:39] <SilentWarrior> only need to backup that line right?
[19:40] <darkmatter> jhutchins, how would grub read the menu.lst file?
[19:41] <darkmatter> there's no boot or root partition on the HD
[19:42] <SilentWarrior> darkmatter: gona reboot and try that, brb =)
[19:42] <darkmatter> goodluck
[19:42] <darkmatter> backup the entire boot.ini file!
[19:44] <jhutchins_lt> darkmatter: I'm pretty sure that lilo can do it, but it writes more info to the boot sector.
[19:45] <jhutchins_lt> Been a while since I dual booted NT.
[19:45] <darkmatter> jhutchins, lilo was before my time
[19:45] <darkmatter> jhutchins, he's not dual-booting
[19:45] <darkmatter> ubuntu is install via wubi
[19:46] <darkmatter> there should be no linux partition
[19:46] <kwyjibo> i just installed kubuntu 9.10 beta. i'm new to it. it asks me to install some updates, but when i agree, it says i don't have permission. it doesn't even ask me to elevate
[19:46] <darkmatter> windows boots up, displays a menu of choices not grub
[19:46] <NoReflex> Hello! I'm using KDE4.3 and I can't seem to be able to change the keyboard shortcut for activating the cube and configuring the magic lamp as the minimize effect.
[19:47] <kwyjibo> how do i install updates if it doesn't even ask me to provide my password. it just refuses me?
[19:47] <NoReflex> I would like to use Ctrl+Alt+Left, Ctrl+Alt=Right and Ctrl+Alt+Mouse for moving
[19:48] <NoReflex> kwyjibo: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:48] <kwyjibo> thanks, NoReflex :)
[19:48] <NoReflex> kwyjibo: you're welcome :)
[19:48] <darkmatter> kwyjibo, or "kdesudo kpackagekit" if you prefer a GUI
[19:50] <kwyjibo> the terminal is already going, but i'll try that next time, darkmatter. i wrote it down
[20:00] <NoReflex> I'm using kwin as my composite window manager. I remember compiz had some tuning options for nvidia like loose binding and indirect rendering? Do I have to do something similar with kwin as well?
[20:18] <jhutchins> darkmatter: Actually, lilo's still a viable alternative.
[20:18] <jhutchins> darkmatter: I love the ability to pass a temporary default boot to it.
[20:18] <jhutchins> I HATE having to perch over a system as it reboots to try to catch the boot menu.
[20:58] <jhutchins_lt> Where are the instructions for a non-GUI upgrade?
[20:58] <loldump> Hi I have a question about ubuntu supported
[20:58] <loldump> when hardy is not supported in october or nov.
[20:58] <loldump> does that mean that the universe/apt etc wont work for it
[20:59] <loldump> or just that canonical no longer supports it (as in support help)
[20:59] <loldump> sorry im not away
[20:59] <loldump> i dont know how that happened :P
[21:01] <Bou> jhutchins_lt: non-GUI upgrade of?
[21:02] <jhutchins_lt> Hardy to interpid?
[21:02] <jhutchins_lt> There are instructions for previous versions, but not for hardy.
[21:04] <joshjtl> WOW moblin is really badass! I'm going to try and use it instead of kde
[21:07] <JuJuBee> Yesterday I did an update and when I tried to restart and login, I have no session type anymore.  I just installed ubuntu-desktop but what happened to my kde installation?
[21:07] <jhutchins_lt> Ah, there we go, have to update /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change it from lts to normal updates.
[21:08] <JuJuBee> I originally installed kubuntu
[21:08] <JuJuBee> So where did it go? and how do I get it back?
[21:09] <jhutchins_lt> JuJuBee: Your login manager should offer the choice.
[21:09] <JuJuBee> When I click on session (where I change from gnome to kde) there was neither...
[21:09] <jhutchins_lt> You should still have kde, and if you kill the display manager, log in to a console, and run startkde it should start for you.  You may be able to tweak the login manager from there.
[21:11] <JuJuBee> if I am logged in to gnome, how do I do that? (kill display manager)?
[21:13] <JuJuBee> I just typed start<tab><tab> and there is no startkde command available.
[21:14] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: /usr/bin/startkde is owned by kdebase-workspace-bin
[21:14] <JuJuBee> and that is not installed according to my system...
[21:15] <JuJuBee> so I need to install it , but why did it get removed during an update?
[21:15] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: not sure, but in case other things were removed, try installing kubuntu-desktop
[21:16] <JuJuBee> Well, thats disturbing.  is it possible I have a repo enabled that I shouldn't have?
[21:16] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: Sure, it's possible.
[21:17] <JuJuBee> is this one a bad one to have ?  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main
[21:18] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: not as reliable as main for sure ... not entirely out of the ordinary for upgrades to run into problems
[21:19] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: fortunately once you iron out the wrinkles the packages are fine though
[21:20] <JuJuBee> Ok, kubuntu-desktop is done.  BTW, how come <ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace> no longer works?
[21:24] <rmrfslash> Does anyone else think firefox is incredibly slow on kubuntu (9.04, kde 4.3)
[21:24] <rmrfslash> or is it just me
[21:25] <rmrfslash> I don't even really know what to do at this point.... just painstakingly slow.
[21:25] <rmrfslash> Chrome is lightning fast
[21:25] <rmrfslash> no problems w/ opera
[21:25] <N0LLY> use chrome ;)
[21:25] <rmrfslash> but ff is awful
[21:26] <rmrfslash> well I don't really *want* to be limited to chrome
[21:26] <rmrfslash> considering all the plugins for ff
[21:26] <N0LLY> well what FF version are you using ?
[21:27] <rmrfslash> I havw 2 versions installed
[21:27] <rmrfslash> I have the standard ff for kubuntu
[21:27] <N0LLY> for me, 3.5 is peerfect
[21:28] <rmrfslash> 3.0.14 and 3.5
[21:28] <rmrfslash> shirtoko 3.5.3
[21:28] <N0LLY> yeah yeah ok
[21:29] <rmrfslash> "It works on my computer"
[21:29] <rmrfslash> "So what's the problem?"
[21:29] <N0LLY> yeah well...
[21:29] <rmrfslash> always an appropriate response to a user issue.
[21:29] <rmrfslash> I wish I could say that to my users.
[21:29] <N0LLY> I must admit I don`t know the cause, I`m only a common user here....
[21:30] <LMJ> I would to know if anyone had this Vnc bug when I vnc my syster kubuntu 9.04 laptop : http://i37.tinypic.com/119wf14.png
[21:33] <JuJuBee> Ok, now I have kde back.
[21:34] <mauri> im looking for a tool like partition manager that is able to manage ntfs partition (resize)
[21:34] <JuJuBee> I use the glassified theme and my panel used to be transparent, it is not anymore how do I correct that?
[21:34] <JuJuBee> mauri gparted can resize ntfs
[21:35] <mauri> JuJuBee: no, it is not able
[21:36] <JuJuBee> I just used it today to do just that.
[21:36] <JuJuBee> Is the ntfs partition mounted?
[21:37] <mauri> JuJuBee: wait, i check
[21:37] <mauri> JuJuBee: no it is not monted
[21:38] <JuJuBee> dunno then, but I did resize an ntfs partition with gparted today
[21:38] <JuJuBee> try booting from live cd
[21:40] <JuJuBee> Hmmm, seems compositing is disabled and I cannot seem to resume it
[21:40] <rmrfslash> Well... some success.
[21:41] <JuJuBee> Yes.
[21:42] <rmrfslash> I disabled firebug and this sped things up dramatically (for gmail). I don't remember firebug causing this bad of a scene in firefox before. I'm aware of the warning on gmail that firebug causes performance issues but i've been able to disregard it until now.
[21:42] <rmrfslash> Before that however, disabling the ipv6 dns improved things
[22:02] <NoReflex> Hey guys! I just installed Kubuntu karmic beta and I have a problem with my sound system. I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook and lspci says : Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller. My problem is whenever a sound is generated I can hear a crackling sound for about 1-2 seconds before
[22:03] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, all sounds?
[22:03] <NoReflex> yeah : flash, skype, kopete, smplayer
[22:04] <NoReflex> I went to the configuration options multimedia and there are two options there: HDA Intel STAC92xx Analog and PulseAudio
[22:05] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, yeah, those have been there for a while.
[22:05] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, i used to have that problem with sounds from gtk apps, if that information is of any use
[22:06] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, it sort of went away by itself after updates. but that was over a year ago
[22:06] <NoReflex> If I try to play a test sound with pulseaudio it says : the device pulseaudio does not work falling back to stac..... and it plays the sound
[22:06] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, you could then switch the hda intel one to the preferred device
[22:07] <devilsadvocate_> NoReflex, and maybe see why pulseaudio isnt doing what its supposed to
[22:07] <NoReflex> the HDA intel is the preferred device (top of the list)
[22:13] <NoReflex> it seems the sound only appears when "starting the audio device"; for example if I have a application that uses the soundcard(a movie playing in smplayer at low volume) and I try to generate other sounds(test sounds, skype sounds, notification sounds) the crackling doesn't appear
[22:14] <ubox> is kde uber better than gnome?
[22:15] <NoReflex> this also works with a flash movie in a browser window and even works if the videos (smplayer, flash) are paused
[22:17] <NoReflex> ubox: I used gnome for about a year and switched to kde about two days ago and I must say I really like KDE4.3. I still have some minor issues (kopete doesn't work well with yahoo accounts, few konsole fonts and a few other) but IMHO KDE4.3 is better than Gnome (2.26, 2.28)
[22:18] <ubox> it sure looks better! :) i was looking a screenshots and it has cool things like transparencies built in
[22:19] <NoReflex> ubox I think the thing I like most in KDE4 is the Kwin composite window manager- you can have cool desktop effects without installing compiz; oh yeah...and the widgets
[22:19] <ubox> i am downloading the iso for kubuntu, i already have ubuntu and when i grab my new laptop later today i will take both for a test spin. it is a 64bit as of now i run an old ppc
[22:20] <ubox> yea i like widgets
[22:20] <NoReflex> ubox: Jaunty or Karmic?
[22:21] <ubox> jaunty
[22:21] <ubox> is karmic a huge jump?
[22:22] <ubox> i'm on intrepid now, i tried to auto upgrade to jaunty and everything broke
[22:23] <NoReflex> Well, my notebook (Dell Inspiron 1520) did have some issues with Jaunty's kernel (2.6.28) - random lockups. I solved the problem in jaunty by manually installing 2.6.31 kernel; Karmic comes with that kernel and a few other nice features as well - upstart for example
[22:23] <NoReflex> For me Kubuntu Karmic beta works very well
[22:24] <ubox> oh, so maybe i should download the 9.10 kubuntu before i burn it
[22:25] <ubox> ooo, they are in beta now
[22:25] <NoReflex> ubox: I never managed to do a distribution upgrade (upgrade-manager -d) so that it would work well. I always had to install a fresh copy of the version I wanted to upgrade to
[22:26] <ubox> oh, i should have tried that lol. are the regular desktop iso's the live cd ones?
[22:26] <NoReflex> yes -  you can test or install with those CD's
[22:27] <ubox> nice
[22:28] <ubox> maybe i will make a switch to kubuntu after tonight. some guy in #ubuntu yelled at me for asking which version they preferred. saying something about it being for support blah blah
[22:28] <ubox> so far people in here are nicer
[22:29] <LjL> ubox: only because it's absurdly silent lately, otherwise the rules are the same
[22:29] <LjL> #ubuntu is too busy for the 1400 people in it to all answer what they prefer
[22:29] <LjL> there's #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[22:29] <LjL> (and even then)
[22:30] <ubox> ljl: oh, the other person should have just told me to go there
[22:30] <ubox> no need to be rude :)
[22:30] <LjL> ubox: yes
[22:30] <ubox> well thanks for letting me know
[22:30] <LjL> ubox: but they did give you !best
[22:30] <LjL> they only became a bit rude when you insisted
[22:31] <ubox> haha, yes but i found using a bot to reply to me rude
[22:31] <LjL> ubox: that's not a good attitude, either
[22:31] <LjL> our ubottu here is a useful bot
[22:31] <LjL> it saves typing, and you cannot expect volunteers to hurt their fingers just for the sake of it, when they can as well use the bot
[22:31] <LjL> !botsnack
[22:32] <ubox> sorry, i don't mean to offend. i just prefer talking to people as people instead
[22:32] <LjL> as for getting "real" opinions, i assure you that the bot in #ubuntu-bots actually has votes from real people
[22:32] <ubox> but i do have to agree that these rooms do get very busy, so i guess i can understand
[22:33] <ubox> i'm not used to irc yet, i've only been around in my own channel for a little while. which has few users so there really aren't any rules
[22:34] <LjL> ubox: this channel also used to be a lot bigger and busier than it is now. years ago, we wouldn't have had this conversaton in here, i'd have asked you to come to privmsg with me or something
[22:34] <LjL> right now, it's so silent it's hardly worth i
[22:36] <ubox> yes it does seem very quiet compared to ubuntu, or linux
[22:36] <ubox> maybe everyone is so happy with kubuntu working properly in karmic that they don't need to ask questions
[23:12] <Ev0luti0n_> yo folks also looking forward to the launch of the new build of kubuntu?
[23:29] <tzanger> good evening
[23:29] <tzanger> got the 9.10 beta up and running, very nice...
[23:29] <tzanger> would +1 be the place to ask where to report bgus?
[23:30] <LjL> yes
[23:31] <tzanger> danke
[23:32] <Ev0luti0n_> folks
[23:32] <Ev0luti0n_> anybody with an asus TV card?
