rjlynnHi guys. I'm having some ridiculous trouble getting my laptop's S/PDIF output to work. It shows up on "aplay -l" and also in the Multimedia settings panel. I just can't get any sound out of it!00:19
rjlynnit's a HP dv9720us laptop - it's got an nForce chipset, and a Conexant sound chip, but beyond that, I'm lost.00:20
ugurhi all. I cannot have the network manager widget set my ip from dhcp but my dns address to another static value00:27

K350What's recommended to install softwares with in Kubuntu 9.10, the "Add and remove software" in systemsettings or Synaptic?00:35
squallit depends00:35
K350I want to install wine. So?00:36
squallif you want something for simple user - use add and remove software00:36
squallif you want more detailed work - use synaptic00:36
squallwine can be installed very easily00:36
K350Ok. so for wine I guess add and remove will be fine.00:36
squallsurte00:36
squall*sure00:36
squalljust open the add/remove, type wine and the package will be found by the system00:37
squallbut install the usual wine, not the wine 1.2 beta00:37
K350I see..and then how do I install it?00:37
K350ah..ok I'll avoid beta00:37
squallall you have to do is to check the "wine" and apply00:37
squallthe application will be downloaded and installed on the system00:37
K350including all thethings I need to run it?00:38
K350if there's any....00:38
squallexactly00:38
K350Great!00:38
K350Thanks a lot for your help. REally appruciated!00:38
squalland if you use karmic koala you can just use the ubuntu software center, it is even easies than add/remove00:38
squallanytime :-)00:38
K350squall: Didn't work so well. First it said some dependencies where missing -> wine-dev. Then when trying to install wine-dev it said it's not satisfied..uh?00:46
K350some missing dependies with wine-dev too00:47
K350maybe synapitic here anyway?00:47
davidjheinrich_hi all00:48
luis_hello when u click "open" in an downloaded file, for example: in firefox download tab, u get a window open so u choose with what app u open that, but u start in home, and i dont know in what folders are apps like "amarok" or "dolphin" for example, can someone help me?00:48
squallit is always better to use synaptic00:48
davidjheinrich_does anyone know how I can apply the results of the "rename" command recursively in all sub-directories?00:48
carpiimaybe find -exec ?00:49
carpiior find | xargs rename00:49
davidjheinrich_could you explain that?00:49
carpiiwhich one00:49
davidjheinrich_I just found the suggestionto do "for f in *; do" then type what u want to do, then done00:49
davidjheinrich_the find | xargs rename00:49
carpiiwell thatd work for a single dir, but it gets complex when you want to recurse into dirs i think00:49
carpiixargs is only really when you have many many files00:50
bjoern_Hello. I just got a problem ubgrading from jaunty to karmic. The upgrade terminated after installing but before cleanup and I got the reboot anouncement which I did. But menu.lst still pointed to the old kernel which didn't boot. I also couldn't boot the new kernel because there's no new initrd. Any ideas?00:50
luis_but davidjheinrich_, when u open files in firefox download tab, u dont get in terminal, instead u get in a window when u must choose the programs from a folder, and i dont know where are the apps00:50
luis_where*, not when00:50
davidjheinrich_luis, I think u meant to address that to someone else00:51
luis_oh i think u were talking to me...00:51
luis_but davidjheinrich_, when u open files in firefox download tab, u dont get in terminal, instead u get in a window when u must choose the programs from a folder, and i dont know where are the apps00:51
luis_srry00:51
FloodBotK2luis_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.00:51
davidjheinrich_carpii, ok can u expalain the xargs00:51

carpiidavid, im not sure thats the best method because youd still have to worry about the absolute path00:51
carpiitry this though00:51
carpiihttp://mamchenkov.net/wordpress/2005/09/26/recursively-renaming-files-in-linux/00:51
davidjheinrich_carpii, I don't see how that does it down into subdir's00:53
davidjheinrich_it's just the rename command00:53
squallare you talking about amarok and dolphin binaries?00:53
squallcheck /usr/bin00:53
carpiiok but try it, maybe $FILE contains the full subdir00:53
carpiijust echo it instead of mv00:54
davidjheinrich_jesus, there oughtta be a simple command or something to apply another command to all subdirs00:56
davidjheinrich_instead of all this complicated scripting00:56
vitamin-carrothmmmm00:57
davidjheinrich_found this: find ./ -type f -exec rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' {} \;00:59
davidjheinrich_to rename recursivly01:00
carpiiok, good stuff01:01
carpiii did suggest find -exec ;)01:01
carpiimost things in bash or done with lots of little utils, its very powerful, but many not as user friendly as you'd like01:02
carpiis/or/are01:02
reagleBRKLNI set my home page in Konq and then save the session as the default web. But it doesn't remember the size? How can I set the size of the newly launched Konq?01:03
davidjheinrich_ok, just tried that, tells me, "can't rename ... no such file or directory"01:03
davidjheinrich_but it worked01:03
davidjheinrich_strange01:03
carpiimaybe it was trying to rename . or ..01:04
carpiihard to say without echoing the files it found01:04
davidjheinrich_on another note, what happened to using quotes (") to specify files with spaces...i.e., touch "my file" used to work for me years ago from what I remember...now it has to be touch my\ file01:06
carpiino idea, i only remember using quotes in windows really01:08
carpiithats not to say bash never supported it, itd be odd if it did, and suddenly dropped support for it01:08
davidjheinrich_is there any way to get quotes back?01:08
davidjheinrich_I much prefer that way01:08
carpiimaybe, but none that i know of01:08
paullywhy is my 3d cube just a 2d plane?01:09
dan213-heron-lei have kubuntu hardy with kde 3.5 and i entered the recovery mode and clicked on the "try to fix the xserver" without having any problem on my pc. Since then i can't enter ANY(!) linux Operating System throw the graphical way (neither with livecd's!) :( what can i do? im on windows01:09
vamp898Woow glibc sais that 0^0=1 http://pastie.org/688422 the result is 1.00000001:12
luis_hello when u click "open" in an downloaded file, for example: in firefox download tab, u get a window open so u choose with what app u open that, but u start in home, and i dont know in what folders are apps like "amarok" or "dolphin" for example, can someone help me?01:12
vamp898luis_ /usr/bin01:12
davidjheinrich_ok, another quick Q, is there a way that I can number filenames? i.e., I have a bunch of JPG's in a directory, labelled _######, and I want o make hem 1_#####, 2_#####, etc starting from the first one?01:13
vamp898luis_ for example /usr/bin/amarok01:13
vamp898davidjheinrich_ are you able to use BASH-Skripts? otherwise you could choose krename01:13
vamp898luis_ but in KDE-Systemsettings you can set mime-types. For example you can set that text/html should be opened with Firefox and so on01:14
=== root is now known as Guest97789
vamp898luis_ but i think these changes will only apply on KDE own apps01:14
davidjheinrich_I have the ability to use bash scripts, as I'm on my computre...I'm not sure what I'd do to do that numbering of filesnames, though?01:14
vamp898davidjheinrich_ use a for-loop and mv^^01:14
WerenerdDoes anyone know if KDM can show if a user is logged in already? I am tired of my wife logging in 4 times01:15
luis_vamp898: okay so... when the window opens and click select app, is usr in home hidden files? because i cant find a folder named "usr" or "bin" in there01:15
Werenerdor better yet, limit people to one log in at a time?01:15
vamp898davidjheinrich_ for i in $( ls ); do mv $i `echo "1_$i"`; done01:15
macoluis_: its under / not in your home directory01:16
vamp898luis_ its /usr^^ you have to switch to /01:16
macoluis_: your home directory is /home/luis/ or something like that01:16
dan213-heron-lei have kubuntu hardy with kde 3.5 and i entered the recovery mode and clicked on the "try to fix the xserver" without having any problem on my pc. Since then i can't enter ANY(!) linux Operating System throw the graphical way (neither with livecd's! i put to experiment without installing, appears the ksplash, and then it never enters the kde) :( what can i do? im on windows01:16
davidjheinrich_vamp, thanks!01:16
vamp898daivdjheinrich_ wait i have a better idea ;)01:17
davidjheinrich_vamp, that just renamed everything 1_####01:17
davidjheinrich_oh, what's ur better idea?01:18
luis_vamp898: now i finally understand... thx dude! now i can open every file i download with my firefox without the need to wait until dolphin opens! i love u =)01:18
daCan I get 2000 songs from a microsoft machine, > on an 8GB MP3 player, >to my Linux machine?01:18

davidjheinrich_how do I change the default browser in Konversation? it keeps opening firefox instead of "Shiretoko" (ff 3.5)01:20
vamp898luis_ im using Gentoo xD01:20
luis_lol... ok01:20
vamp898davidjheinrich_ change the default browser in KDE Systemsettings01:20
daokay thank you...01:21
davidjheinrich_can I just right click on a html file and specify the open with as default?01:21
WerenerdANyone? Limit prople to one session or show logged in status in KDM?01:21
vamp898davidjheinrich_ no wait. Go to K-Menu --> Computer --> Systemsettings --> Favourite Applications01:22
vamp898davidjheinrich_ or default applications, dont know exactly xD i have german KDE01:22
davidjheinrich_was i just here?01:23
davidjheinrich_I pressed some button and accidentally disconnected01:23
vamp898davidjheinrich_ no wait. Go to K-Menu --> Computer --> Systemsettings --> Favourite Applications01:23
vamp898davidjheinrich_ or default applications, dont know exactly xD i have german KDE01:23
davidjheinrich_vamp, I just did it by right clicking on an html file01:24
vamp898ah ok thats fine too^^01:24
davidjheinrich_ok, ur bash script produced a bunch of these for me: mv: `_2066984.JPG' and `_2066984.JPG' are the same file01:24
=== avihay_ is now known as avihay
vamp898ok wait01:25
davidjheinrich_what I'd like is for each JPG on my comp to have a unique ID prefix01:26
vamp898davidjheinrich_ this http://pastie.org/68843901:26
davidjheinrich_I'm not sure my camera does that adequately...as it is limited to 7 identifying numbers, with the 1st 4 being mmdd01:27
davidjheinrich_vamp, same result01:28
vamp898you should first clean up the files with _ prefix01:28
davidjheinrich_what do you mean by cleaning them up?01:28
vamp898davidjheinrich_ i really think you should take krename xD01:29
davidjheinrich_actually, maybe it'd be easier to add a full date to them01:30
vamp898krename 4.0.1-101:30
vamp898     A very powerfull batch file renamer for KDE01:30
vamp898i think this is what you want01:30
davidjheinrich_they start out with _A11 but no year, so I could just add the year01:30
davidjheinrich_I opened that, it's confusing. I already have some understanding of command line, don't want to start over w/ new way of doing things01:31
vamp898i wait i found the error01:31
vamp898remove the ; at the end of the first line01:31
vamp898stupid C/BASH mixing xD01:31
davidjheinrich_still does it01:32
vamp898hmmm yes he does not accept the prefix01:32
vamp898i look out why01:32
davidjheinrich_ok, maybe Krename is good01:34
vamp898ah i got it01:34
vamp898do you accept 1-#### prefix?01:34
davidjheinrich_I just went through it's thingy01:34
vamp898or does it have to be 1_01:34
vamp898beceause echo dont like the _01:34
davidjheinrich_I actually prefer -01:34
davidjheinrich__ means I have to use the shit key to type it01:34
davidjheinrich_errr, shift01:34
davidjheinrich_all that _ means is that it is an AdobeRGB file instead of sRBG01:35
vamp898this works http://pastie.org/68843901:35
vamp898wait01:35
vamp898no01:35
vamp898why das pastie did not accepted my paste!01:35

Cubex1xchat the latest on kubuntu 9.10 seems ok at least in my opinion however i did try xchat before and long server lists cause the program to freeze in whitespace i already filed a bugreport it was closed i believe02:32
carpiiok, ive never had that problem tbh02:33
Cubex1konversation though seems in my opinion to miss servers which complicates things02:33
carpiibut having said that, the first thing i do in xchat is delete all the servers, and readd the ones i want02:33

wubbasebsebseb Well I have the data on two other drives - have a seperate drive for the OS.03:12
sebsebsebyep  wubba  what  vamp898  said basicalley03:12
wubbaMy concern is I have that mythtv or whatever it is that comes with Kubuntu and don't want to loose my movies and ogg files.  If I reinstall a new 9.10 over the OS drive - will I be able to bring the info back into the system?03:14
sebsebseb(I think I was going to ask if it was a 9.04 to 9.10  upgrade anyway, well whatever)03:14
vamp898wubba you know that you can reinstall linux without removing your /home directory03:14
sebsebsebwubba: if the data is on  other partitions, well sure no problem03:14
vamp898so a seperate disk for OS is not needed03:14
sebsebseb!home |  wubba03:14
ubottuwubba: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome03:14
wubbaYou can move your home directory without booting the os?03:15
sebsebsebwubba:  looking at what you put earliaer03:16
sebsebsebwubba: you never upgraded it to 9.0403:16
sebsebseb?03:16
sebsebseboh seems  you  did get it upgraded to 9.10, but the upgrade to 8.04 was one you re booted or something03:17
wubbaNo - I had it orginally at 7.10 - been a pet project that sits on my desk.03:17
wubbawent to 8.04 - was fine - and then started the next upgrade.03:17
sebsebsebThe other stuff doesn't really matter this does though,  it got upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and then  the issue yeah03:17
wubbaI just have like 50 movies or more on there - and another 100 cd's I don't want to have to reburn.03:18
sebsebseb!piracy > wubba03:19
ubottuwubba, please see my private message03:19
wubbaOr the worst part of it - hearing my wife complain - why are you burning all those movies again???03:19
wubbaubottu - I own everything I burn03:19
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)03:19
vamp898wubba you dont have to save your data^^ just delete all folders _except_ for /home (never delete /home there are all your datas)03:19
vamp898than install Ubuntu03:19
vamp898when partition appears, say manual. Than says _not formatting_03:20
vamp898you´ll get an warning message that you partition will not be formattet and so all datas will be keept (you deleted everything exept /home so only /home will be kept)03:20
wubbaok - will it 'see' the other partitions and use them again for storage?03:20
sebsebsebit's easier to set up a seperate /home on install03:20
sebsebsebwell03:20
sebsebsebI have never done it afterwoulds03:20
vamp898and the best thing is to choose a different username03:21
sebsebsebif  you make a seperate /home partition.   when you do a re install,  just make sure to tell it to use it as one in manual install03:21
vamp898than you´re on the safe side03:21
vamp898and then just mv your stuff from the old username in /home to the recent one03:21
wubbaok - I appreciate it everyone.03:21
sebsebsebsepeate homes also make distro hopping easier03:22
Sir_Konradvamp898: sorry about the long response. I hate KDE 4 in general.03:22
wubbaWhy would you ever want to leave Kubuntu :)03:22
sebsebsebSir_Konrad: same here, except for some of the apps that I will sometimes run in Gnome03:22
vamp898Sir_Konrad than you have to remove your conflicts with KDE4 and get familiar with it xD03:22
sebsebsebwell Konversation is my main KDE app that I use nearly daily at the moment03:22
vamp898i hate what Kubuntu did with KDE4. In Distros like Archlinux or Gentoo it works awesome03:23
wubbaThough I did start out with Redhat - many years ago.03:23
sebsebsebKDE 4 isn't like kubuntu KDE 3 which was pretty nice03:23
vamp898and Kubuntu have a lot of problems03:23
Sir_Konradvamp898: I just use KDE 3.03:23
Sir_KonradI love KDE 3.03:23
sebsebsebSir_Konrad: There's a KDE 3 remix CD for  9.04 and 9.10  and you can get some repo/ppa03:23
vamp898i like KDE4 too03:23
sebsebseb!love |  Sir_Konrad03:23
ubottuSir_Konrad: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.03:23
Sir_Konradsebsebseb: I know, that's what I'm using.03:25
sebsebsebyep thought that was probably it03:25
sebsebsebor whatever03:25
Sir_Konradlol03:25
sebsebseb,but good to tell you anyway03:25
sebsebsebwhich one 9.04 or 9.10?03:25
sebsebsebSir_Konrad: lol @ what?03:25
Sir_Konrad[21:25] <sebsebseb> yep thought that was probably it03:25
Sir_KonradI'm using Kubuntu 9.10 /w KDE 3.5.1003:26
sebsebsebI am not sure  what is funny about that03:26
sebsebsebthought it would be 9.10 or whatever :)03:26
sebsebsebwhatever  being 9.04 in that case03:26
asobiin kde4, anyone way for konqueror to show mp3 id tags on mouse hover?03:27
sebsebsebI haven't done remix CD's I will in vm :)   I haven't clean installed 9.10 also yet, after testing since alpha 4.   I am not in a rush to do that also since this install works pretty well really, excpet for when I boot it up and it works to fix a journal and such.03:27
sebsebsebworks to fix...  uhmm no,   wants to fix03:28
* sebsebseb being a bit of a perfectionist again03:28
sebsebsebSir_Konrad: Yeah it's so sad that KDE 3 is nearly dead03:30
sebsebseb(didn't need to put Yeah)03:30
iDanNielHello03:30
iDanNielHola03:30

rjlynnHi guys. I'm having some trouble configuring OSS. I've FINALLY got my S/PDIF output working (nothing worked with ALSA, so I built the OSS drivers, and I have an output that functions). Is there some easy (ie, GUI) way to change what output is used? I'd use Pulseaudio, but there's no good graphical mixer for KDE03:33
vamp898you have to unmask it by hand if you want it03:33
sebsebsebvamp898: Really?  Well that sucks!03:33
sebsebsebunmask it by hand?03:33
sebsebsebdo something so it can be installed03:33
vamp898there is a file called /etc/portage/package.unmask and you just have to put there packages you want to unmask in there03:34
sebsebseboh ok03:34
vamp898since KDE 4.3.1 is stable in Gentoo they hardmasked KDE303:34
vamp898that nobody installs KDE3 without knowing what he does03:35
sebsebsebhe/she03:35
rjlynnOr heck, just point me to something like padevchooser, just for KDE03:35
sebsebsebhe/she/it maybe even :)03:35
vamp898rjlynn kmix?03:35
vamp898padevchooser works fine on KDE03:35
rjlynnkmix isn't compatible with PulseAudio or OSS :/03:36
vamp898nobody needs Pulseaudio03:36
sebsebsebrjiynn???? what?  what's that?03:36
vamp898i did not get it why its default in Ubuntu03:36
sebsebsebpadevchooser I don't know what that is either03:36
sebsebsebvamp898: yeah all those sound issues  that people have been getting  since Ubuntu 8.0403:37
rjlynnI know, I don't really want to use it either. But i need to be able to switch output devices easily and it's not quite intuitive with OSS03:37
sebsebsebwhen they put/introduced pulseaudio into Ubuntu03:37
rjlynntruth be told, ALSA was a bigger pain than pulseaudio, I couldn't for the life of me get it to let me use my S/PDIF out, which is on my laptop's minidock03:38
vamp898sebsebseb A simple GTK tool which allows quick access to some features of PulseAudio03:38
vamp898im using Alsa since today and never had problems^^03:38
sebsebsebI was asking what rjlynn  is, turns out it is a person03:38
rjlynnohh haha. yeah.03:39
sebsebseb(it  or  they are above)03:39
vamp898rjlynn but as i said. your pedochooser or whatever it is called works fine in KDE03:39
rjlynnlemme give it a whirl.03:39
vamp898Pulseaudio is a network sound server right?03:40
vamp898why is it the default sound server in Ubuntu (still did not get it)03:41
vamp898does the typical ubuntu users streams his audio over the world?03:41
rjlynnNo, definitely not, but it makes it pretty easy to change where streams are going to go locally03:42
rjlynnfor instance, my home theatre system takes a good second of input before it will actually play anything through the speakers03:42
rjlynnso system notifications should really always play through the laptop speakers because they're so short I wont hear them through the surround sound03:43
rjlynnbut I want music, etc to play through surround sound... and I dont want to have to drop to the command line just to swap outputs when I undock and go to my living room!03:43
vamp898and that does not work with alsa?03:43
rjlynnno, because for some reason alsa wont let me use the s/pdif out. it detects it and lists it on aplay -l but it doesn't ever work!03:45
forge__why would tzdata package not be found for intrepid-updates?03:45
=== forge__ is now known as ForgeAus
rjlynnOSS uses it correctly, but the mixer isnt nearly as useful as alsa's - i have to make symlinks in /dev/ in order t change the default output03:45
ForgeAusalso how to get wine to stop trying to wget from wine.budgetdedicated.com server?03:46
vamp898killall -s KILL ?03:47
vamp898rjlynn did you ever tried JACK?03:47
vamp898can anyone give me the output of apt-cache search any app03:48
vamp898i need just one line, the first output03:48
=== jesse_ is now known as Guest98433
vamp898common plz any output of apt-cache search03:51
ForgeAusit just returns: appname - description03:52
ForgeAus(if found)03:52
vamp898yes but i need any example03:52
ForgeAuschromium - fast paced, arcade-style, scrolling space shooter03:52
vamp898ah ok03:52
vamp898is there a space after chromium?03:53
ForgeAusas I said appname - descroption03:53
ForgeAuslol I actually meant the browser, but I got a game instead lol03:53
ForgeAusapparently chrome (as in the google one) isn't in this repo (I did have one of the development vers' at some point)03:53
vamp898for i in $( apt-cache search fps | cut -d ' ' -f 1 ); do apt-get install $i done03:54
vamp898it is in Archlinux :P03:54
vamp898aur/google-chrome-dev 4.0.237.0-1 (334)03:54
vamp898    Google Chrome Developer preview channel for Linux03:54
ForgeAusvamp, not necessarily03:55
ForgeAusoh sorry I misread you03:55
vamp898there is also a package for chromium03:57
vamp898but i did not get the difference of chromium and chrome03:58
ForgeAuschromium is the engine, chrome is the browser, from what I can gather04:00
ForgeAus(but there seems to be also a game called chromium thats causing me some confusion too)04:00
vamp898but when i install chromium04:00
vamp898i have the same like when i install chrome04:01
robin0800ForgeAus: chrome is from google04:01
vamp898just different logos/icons04:01
ForgeAusyes robin :)04:05
ForgeAusI dont thinnk its been officially released for Linux (not too sure where its currently at with OSX but similar story there too)04:06
ForgeAusthats weird Apple dropped ZFS!04:08
ishabalovApple?04:09
ForgeAussorry, shouldn't have said that here lol04:09
vamp898ForgeAus the SVN Version works fine04:14
ForgeAusI believe you vamp...04:14
vamp898but i dont like Google Chrome at all xD04:14
ForgeAushmm karmic uses EXT4?04:14
vamp898ext4 4tw04:14
vamp898i hope for the complete Webkit integratin in Konqueror04:15
vamp898atm it does not support Java :/04:15
ForgeAusI would too, if not dropping webkit for something else, if  Apples restrictions are choking it04:15
vamp898Apple would die04:16
ForgeAusI was talking about in konqueror04:16
vamp898in fact, in my eyes they are already dead in the software branch04:16
vamp898Mac OS X is just a 0815 BSD System04:16
ForgeAusyes with a GUI layer called Aqua ontop of it04:17
vamp898yes and this guy layer isnt this good04:17
ForgeAusthe kernel is a hybrid actually (its Mach + 4.3BSD)04:17
vamp898yes and i dont know why they did it04:17
vamp898that just does the kernel unsecure04:17
ForgeAuswell it seems to work04:18
vamp898Linux seems to work too04:18
vamp898FreeBSD too04:18
ForgeAusI'm fairly happy with OSX... for the most part04:18
vamp898depends on workload ;)04:19
ForgeAuswhat doesn't?04:19
vamp898there is for example no RealTime Kernel04:19
petr_hello                   It is me once more04:19
=== petr_ is now known as Guest7416
ForgeAushey petr04:19
Guest7416again04:19
vamp898ForgeAus Webkit is LGPL/BSD License. I dont think that Apple are able to do something bad with it04:20
=== Guest7416 is now known as Petr_Moscow_sind
vamp898Without the support of all the OpenSource developer Apple would die04:20
=== Petr_Moscow_sind is now known as Moscow_sindisho
Moscow_sindishoI can not use SSH because I locate in local reae netvork!!!!!!!!!!04:21
ForgeAusapple and microsoft both say they support ospensource, but both also say they don't need/require it...04:21
Moscow_sindishowhat I shoult to do to solve it?04:21
ForgeAusMicrosoft released drivers for Linux kernel didn't they?04:21
vamp898ForgeAus i dont think Ö_Ö04:21
Moscow_sindishoonly installing sprecial program?04:22
ForgeAusmoscow? sorry I didn't know SSH wasn't usable within a LAN04:22
vamp898ForgeAus but they have something called Unix Subsystem for Windows04:22
vamp898ForgeAus with this you cann use Linux native inside a Windows04:22
ForgeAusmicrosofts SUA is a POSIX subsystem04:22
ForgeAusI find it more interesting that Microsoft don't have their own *nix-based OS on the market...04:22
vamp898The Unix Subsystem is something like a own *nix-based OS04:23
vamp898^^04:23
ForgeAusactually you can use Linux native within windows...04:23
Moscow_sindishono no no   I have not real IP    and can not connect through ssh to external machine04:23
ForgeAuscolinux is the way to achieve it, (or something packaged with it, like AndLinux is one of my favs...)04:23
Moscow_sindishoWHY?04:23
ForgeAusessentially its like a Virtual machine - kernel emulation?)04:24
ForgeAusnot real IP? whats that mean?04:24
vamp898no it uses the Windows Kernel04:24
Moscow_sindishoI do not know04:24
vamp898when you type uname -a you´ll get the Windows NT Kernel Information04:24
ForgeAusVamp yes uses windows Kernel but the Andlinux/Colinux emulate the linux kernel inside them don't they somehow?)04:25
ForgeAusor at least translate between somehow04:25
davidjheinrichwhen using the rename command, what's the diff between rename 's/search/replace' * and rename 'y/search/replace' *    ? I want to replace all instances of ", " in filenames with "," ... but neither is working04:26
Moscow_sindishoI write "ssh myname@hostname"   And program wait  wait and wait --- and after 2 minuts say  "time limit excided"04:26
ForgeAusat least andlinux is nice enough to package an X-server, Microsoft's SUA doesn't have one!...04:26
davidjheinrichthe s/ variety just replaces the first instances; the y/ option puts commas after every space04:26
ForgeAus(it has other parts of X tho)04:26
vamp898ForgeAus uhm there is something called Gentoo Prefix which installes a complete gentoo incl. Xorg with the SUA in Windows04:27
ForgeAusMoscow, then use ifconfig to find the IP and use the IP to connect to instead?04:27
vamp898and it works fine. You can install xming and than run gui apps04:27
ForgeAusvamp yes I know04:27
ForgeAusGentoo prefixes are like a Gentoo Subsystem (Gentoo-Alt/Gentoo Prefix works in SUA too but no X server without something like Hummingbird Xceed or X-ming or whatever addon X-server for windows you can get/find/prefer)04:28
ForgeAusX-ming is based on cygwin's old Xwin X-server...)04:28
vamp898Wikipedia sais04:28
davidjheinrichahh, I figured it out, to replace all instances of an expression, I use replace 's/search/replace/g' *04:29
vamp898X-Ming have nothing to do with Cygwin04:29
ForgeAusthats kinda a lie, but its also true, in that it no longer is dependant on CYGWIN04:29
vamp898it sais X-Ming have to do with MingW04:29
ForgeAusbut did originally come from the X-server that was built into Cygwin afaik...04:29
ForgeAusyes MingW thats correct...04:29
vamp898Wikipedia sais X-Ming is not based on Cygwin or did ever used Cygwin^^ its just a X-Server compiled for windows using mingw04:30
ForgeAusthat doesn't sound right, maybe I'm wrong?... not sure there04:30
vamp898but its not from interest04:31
vamp898X-Ming works fine04:31
vamp898and fast04:31
ForgeAusit is an x-server recompiled for windows, that I agree with, but afaik it had its origins in cygwins X-Win x-server04:31
Moscow_sindishoNONONO     I write    "ssh  -Y petr@121.12....  "   IP!!!04:31
ForgeAususes exactly the same structure and presents itself exactly the same way as Cygwins did, although its moved on since then04:31
webbb82i was trying to compile slide launcher from source but could not get it to work  but i just draged the install.sh file and droped it into the terminal and it instaled04:31
Moscow_sindishoSome people saw me - use ssh tunnel )))04:32
vamp898ForgeAus Cygwin is just an API Wrapper. X-Ming runs native04:32
Moscow_sindishotram-pam-pam04:32
ForgeAusyes, but Xming originally had a .dll from cygwin (I don't think it has it any longer) not sure why they needed it...04:34
Moscow_sindishoForgeAus ????04:34
Moscow_sindishossh04:34
ForgeAusMoscow, sorry ssh isn't something that I know much about...04:34
ForgeAusnor is tunnelling all that much but maybe it helps to know what protocols your using?04:35
ishabalovmoscow - what is your problem?04:35
Moscow_sindishofuck sorry - solve my problem04:35
ForgeAuslol bad language isn't going to help you solve it Moscow04:35
Moscow_sindishoI wrote ssh - Y petr@IP    and ssh do not work   only wait something04:35
ForgeAusfair enough...04:36
ForgeAusok so which two machines are you using (or is it all on the one machine what your sshing from and to?)04:36
Moscow_sindishononono    I install OPENSSH   on my HOMEmashine04:37
Moscow_sindishoand I go to University!!!    And I try to connect to my home openssh....    but it is not work04:37
ForgeAusMoscow I'm not disputing that, you obviously have to have some ssh program to use it :)...04:37
anonymous_hello04:38
macoMoscow_sindisho: dont forget, if youre behind a router, youre going to need to do some port forwarding to access it from outside04:38
ForgeAusok, well firstly theres possibilities you may be running into issues with the University's secruity .. (like firewalls blocking ports, etc...)04:38
Moscow_sindishoAAAA      fucking cocroach04:38
macowell...at least if the04:38
macoMoscow_sindisho: youve been warned about your language once04:38
ishabalovmoscow - did you try to connect from school to home machine using ssh?04:38
macoshould i test out my ops powers?04:38
macoi was going to say "at least if the router is NATing"04:39

Moscow_sindishoYes!!   one man in University saw me that I can not connect directly to external PC from our university network04:39

ishabalovyes - if you have "real" ip at home, at least one.04:39
ishabalovhow you home copm is connected to the net?04:40
davidjheinrichcan website addresses have commas in them?04:40
Moscow_sindishohome comp have real IP  and ALLL work in home comp ---- quastion in University exit to network04:41

d9500i'm looking for a way that i can make the borders and edges of my windows take on the same glass look as the plasma panel, but keep the default circular shape for the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.04:41
SilentDisdavidjheinrich: yes and no, some CMS stuff puts commas in them (specifically, i've seen them at C-Net).  mind you, they're never in the root url (http://www.kubuntu.org/ can't have commas there)04:42
ishabalovsertainly they can block all traffic for 22 port, but it will be unusual04:42
d9500the themes i found on kde look seem to insist on replacing those circular buttons with vista-ish or win xp type buttons04:42
ishabalovcan you connect with ssh from home to school?04:42

anonymous_can someone help me out with my sound card?04:42
ForgeAus(note: google is your friend)04:42
Moscow_sindishoyes yes yes   may be all traffic blocked   if port is not 80    because internet is work fine04:42
macod9500: sounds like you wanna hack the theme04:43
SilentDis!sound | anonymous_, what seems to be the problem, and have you looked this over?04:43
ubottuanonymous_, what seems to be the problem, and have you looked this over?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP304:43
macod9500: but take a look at kde-look.org and see if maybe theres something you like04:43
davidjheinrichyae, my commas would be in url paths, not the domain-name04:43
SilentDisdavidjheinrich: as i said, depends on the CMS they're using, but they are valid on some servers (microsoft loved 'em for a while with their various asp pages, for example)04:44
anonymous_i heard their is an issue with compatibility i am using  HP pavillion dv604:44
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich, I'd advise against it where possible, but depending on several factors it may work (if your lucky)...04:44
davidjheinrichwhat about apostrophes?04:44
ForgeAuspretty much similar from my point of view...04:45
davidjheinrichi.e., "www.address.com/directory/sarah's_flowers.html"04:45
SilentDisdavidjheinrich: again, depends on the CMS, but overall, as ForgeAus said, never a great idea if you're building your own site.  best to stick to basics :)04:45
davidjheinricharg04:45
davidjheinrichI'd think that characters that don't need to be escaped (\) in Linux would work04:46
davidjheinrich:-(04:46
ForgeAusmost non-alphanumeric characters (even hyphens and ?'s ) are encoded as % and some kinda number ...04:46
anonymous_there is no sound what so ever,the sound is not muted.everything is supposed to be working..note sound works on vista04:46
davidjheinrichhmm, I see lots of sites with hyphens not encoded as %#04:46
davidjheinrichi.e., http://www.go2linux.org/rename-bulk-files-with-linux-console-command04:46
SilentDisi'll call on ?s and &s a lot when i do php for example, but i do stay away from most special characters in any url formation.04:47
ForgeAusyeah, good point I might have gone a bit overboard by saying '-' character :)04:47
davidjheinrichand _'s are ok too, right?04:47
ForgeAusSilentDis, sure but thats because = ? and & have a particular meaning in the URL for php04:48
SilentDisForgeAus: exactly.  just like the comma, apostrophe, etc, have special meaning to various Microsoft CMS04:48
macoif you put double-quotes in a file name, firefox throws away everything from the double-quote onward04:49
macofun stuff :)04:49
davidjheinrichok, I guess I just have to name directories with keywords, and avoid grammatical relationships04:49
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: what exactly are you trying to to, it might turn out to be a trial and error thing...04:49
d9500maco: the dekorator engine will do what i want as far as letting me theme the borders, but no one yet seems to make a theme that will border the windows with the same sort of 'smoky glass' look that the plasma panel has.04:49
d9500maco: how would i go about hacking a theme anyway? what programming skills required?04:50
davidjheinrichI have thousands of photographs organized in directories by date, subject, etc. I want to make these directories (a) easy to navigate in Linux, so no escape characters, minimal typing, easy completion; (b) Directly uploadable as a directory to a site04:50
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: I'm just saying your much SAFER sticking with alphanumerics I can't say for certain your usage will or won't work with apostrophe's or commas or whatever character you select, its just less safe depending on how the server/browser, etc. handle them )04:50
macoi dont actually have window borders, so....im not sure what you mean, but i thought there was a blue smokey glass theme by default?04:50
macod9500: no programming....just markup04:50
macoi think04:50
macoit should just be a lot of "use this style" "here are the colors" "use these images for buttons" etc04:50
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: and your looking for a separator?04:51
davidjheinrichyea04:51
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: I take it - isn't acceptible for some reason?04:51
davidjheinrichit'd be nice if  I could still fulfill the grammatical functions that commas and apostrophes use04:51
davidjheinrichI've been using - as a replacement for spaces04:51
davidjheinrichI don't like underscores because I need to press shift to use them04:51
SilentDisdavidjheinrich: ah.  stick to dash, underscore, and maybe an occasional parenthesis :)04:51
ForgeAusI tend to try and avoid spaces, I also don't like underscores to be honest...04:52
ForgeAuswhat I use is PascalCase like that04:52
macoCamelCase04:52
ForgeAusIndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom...04:52
macobecause camels have humps04:52
ForgeAusthat may not be acceptible for your purpose tho04:52
macoCamelCase is common in Java, but _ looks more like a space Hello_there has that proper bit of gap in the middle...and is more popular with C programmers04:52
davidjheinrichI guess I'll just use keywords and - as a separator04:53
ForgeAusmaco yes and you can use proper case for Proper Nouns that way - and differentiate them from non-proper ones :)04:53
davidjheinrichalthough for web-pages, it's useful if it is easy for the viewer to remember, so probably want to keep it as a phrase04:53
davidjheinrichok, quick Q, why is the following dumping me with a > like it wants me to finish it ? : rename -n 's/\'s//g' *04:54
davidjheinrichI want to get rid of all apostrophe-s's (remove 's)04:54
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: using - as a separator and keywords is probably the safest... I'd recommend doing that, because thats the least way you can go wrong...  ... I think...04:54
luis_hello i cant get in virtual box because of an error while triying to run the virtual machine, the result code is this one: http://pastebin.com/m2dce1a3a pls i need help04:55
macodavidjheinrich: try " around the regex04:55
ForgeAusmaco: because its a string not a single character?04:55
davidjheinrichok, that worked04:55
macoluis_: did you run the command it told you to?04:55
davidjheinrichcan I just always use " instead of ' around regex?04:55
macoForgeAus: because it changes how escaped characters and variables are interpretted04:56
ForgeAusdavidjheinrich: afaik ' is only for single characters... generally " is for strings...04:56

luis_u know a solution? i was testing and installing Mythbuntu04:59
macohmm i dont have that file either, but vbox works for me...04:59
luis_ok i will try one thing04:59
luis_whats the aptitude command to desinstall04:59
macodid you install virtualbox from the repository?05:00
luis_i made an error05:00
macohang on05:00
luis_first i installed it from the oficial page05:00
macodid you get it from sun's website or from the repository?05:00
luis_but later i installed guest packages from repos05:00
luis_so it turned into Virtual Box OSE05:00
macoyeah uninstall all that05:00
luis_with package manager i removed files, and reinstalled box from oficial site05:01
luis_error started05:01
macopurge them both05:01
macosudo aptitude purge05:01
luis_"purge"?05:01
macoyes, removes all traces of the package05:01
macosudo aptitude purge virtualbox-ose05:02
macolist all the packages05:02
trampelalways thought there should be an aptitude option for "binge"05:02
luis_maco:   virtualbox-ose{p}05:02
menoxlol05:02
luis_why the lol05:02
davidjheinrichis there any way that, with rename, I can find and remove occurences of at and or and eliminate them, all at once?05:02
macorename 's/at//g;s/or//g' ?05:03
luis_huh?05:03
davidjheinrichhmmm, yea I guess that'd work...that's almost like just doing rename over several times, though05:04
luis_ok, ose removed but still error happening05:04
macoexcept you only type one :)05:04
macoluis_: do that to *all* the virtualbox packages you have installed05:04
macothat should get you a clean slate to reinstall from sun's webste05:04
luis_but whats virtual box name05:04
davidjheinrichtrue05:05
luis_i tried sudo aptitude purge sun-virtualbox05:05
davidjheinrichso saves a little bit of typing05:05
luis_package doesnt exist05:05
davidjheinrichcan there  be spaces between the semicolons?05:05
luis_maco: ?05:06
ForgeAusI don't like Virtualbox since sun took over :( innotech was way better/simpler05:06
davidjheinrichoh, I better make it s/\ or\ //g' to avoid removing or from the middle of words05:06
ForgeAusnow you have different vers for different kernels and its all... complicated05:06
ForgeAusas well as ose (open source edition)05:07
macodpkg -l *virtual*05:07

maconote the rows of "hey, here's what these columns mean!" at the top of the output...05:10
macofirst column = Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold05:10
macoso if you set a package to a status in dselect, it goes there05:11

macothere are 6 columns05:11
ForgeAusoh IC05:11
macohopefully the 3rd is always blank, since its errors ;-)05:11
macobut anyway, 2nd column tells you the actual status05:12
macoso if you set it to install a package in dselect and then it doesnt actually do so because its not available, it might say "in"05:12
maco(ubuntu doesnt use dselect much...its not very friendly)05:12

darkaurahi I have a problem I was wondering if someone could help me05:27
trampel(does this work...?):05:28
trampel!ask05:28
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)05:28
trampel(yep)05:28
luis_maco: finally god... thx dude, now i got another question, i wanna install the guest additions, but after clicking the option it does anything, but it changes my mounted iso into vboxguestadditions, but when i try to run it it says not bootable media was found...05:29
maco<-- not dude05:30
darkauraokay I have a problem with viewing my windows share folder, I'm able to see my windows computer, and it pops up with a username and password box.  I put the username and password that I use on my windows box in the pop up I get, and then it looks like its going to read the shared folder and then I recieve an internal error in dolphin05:30
macoyou dont run it...05:30
macotheres a deb once the iso is mounted in there05:30
macoinstall that deb05:30
ForgeAustrampel all its saying is asking to ask is pointless (although I'm not sure about ubottu but I certainly understand its often a matter of being polite or just simply testing if anyone is here to respond, but really nobody can answer the question anyway they can't say they can answer a question that hasn't been asked of them yet... if that makes any sense)05:30
trampelForgeAus: can i ask a question?05:31
dylan_speaking of vbox will atlantica online run just as fast in virtual box instead of installing windows next to ubuntu05:32
ForgeAusexactly trampel ... whats the point in that question? firstly its a proxy in itself... its not the quesiton you want to ask its asking if you can ask it... and secondly, of course you can ask a question, its more a matter of will someone respond?...05:32
trampelForgeAus: ah but you're forgetting the third tenant of the buddha, what is the meaning in the absence of that which is lacking all relative importance by and without consideration of the true inner meaning05:33
trampelor in other words... this is the #kubuntu channel05:34
ForgeAusdylan, generally virtualization does have some kind of performance hit, but I doubt it will be what I consider significant... what you consider significant on the other hand?.... thats up to you05:34
d9500dylan_: vbox incurs a slight performance hit for most programs, since you're running an os on top of an os, and the virtualized os does not have dedicated access to the hardware.05:34
ForgeAustrampel too many negatives to follow what you meant there05:34
ForgeAusdoes the absence of something lacking even make sense?...05:35
d9500dylan_: i'm not familiar with atlantica online, but if it requires a lot of 3 acceleration, it will probably incur more than a slight performance hit. vbox can pass the opengl calls through to the host video card if you have a video card/driver that does 3d well, with partial success. but the 3d support is still nothing like native speed05:36
ForgeAusassuming its a windows program theres the option of running it in wine, but again if its 3D then you are probably better to check wines appDB...05:39
luis_maco: finally god... thx dude, now i got another question, i wanna install the guest additions, but after clicking the option it does anything, but it changes my mounted iso into vboxguestadditions, but when i try to run it it says not bootable media was found...05:40

luis_can u copypasta?05:40
trampeldarkaura: can you reach the windows share from another windows box?05:40
macoluis_: moutnt he iso in the vm, go to where its mounted, andinstall the deb from the iso05:42
darkauratrampel yes I can and if I go add a folder I can make shortcuts to the shared folder but in order to play video in VLC player I have to mount the shared folder and I can't seem to do that05:42
trampeldarkaura: what error message do you see if you try something like:   mount -t smbfs -o username=name,password=password //machinename/sharename /mnt/smbshare      ...?05:45
luis_maco: i dont understand what u r trying to say, the iso doesnt wanna run, so i get no install05:45
luis_its all mounted already05:45
luis_whats rare is than the iso appeared mounted, without a download window opening or something05:45
luis_and i dont wanna download the guest addis from repos, for what, to make same error again? lo05:46
luis_l05:46
macoluis_: what?05:47
macoyou dont run the iso05:47
macothe iso is mounted...fine05:47
luis_nop the iso doesnt wanna run05:47
luis_is mounted05:47
macoisos dont get run. period, thats not how they work05:47
macoyoure not SUPPOSED to run an iso05:47
luis_i know, but yes running it in VB05:48
macoit is mounted somewhere in the vm. go to the directory in the vm where it is mounted05:48
macothere should be a package in that directory since the iso contains a package05:48
macoinstall the package05:48
luis_and where is that package...05:48
macodepends whre you mounted the iso05:48
luis_i mounted it in Mythbuntu05:48
maco /media/cdrom/ maybe?05:49
darkauratrampel I'm stupid I didn't even think of doing it that way now is it possible to have that done on start up?05:49
luis_thats the VM name05:49
luis_holda05:49
macowhat is the mountpoint WITHIN the vm?05:49
trampeldarkaura: you're not stupid.... that's the *old* knowledge  ;)05:49
luis_i mean, its mounted in VM called Mythbuntu05:49
luis_so i think yes, cdrom, but where i find the direc?05:49
macoluis_: go to the VM's /media/cdrom05:50
macoclick around inside the VM05:50
macotil you get to its cd drive05:50
trampeldarkaura: i'm sure it is possible ... but not exactly what you mean by "on start  up"  ...if you really mean start up, then i'd add it as a script under "/etc/rc2.d" maybe05:50
luis_ok05:50
luis_BUT05:50
luis_where are talking about opening the direc with VB, not with dolphin true?05:50
darkauratrampel well when I get into KDE after my wireless has connected05:51
trampeldarkaura: how about at the bottom of your .bashrc then?05:51
macoluis_: INSIDE the VM05:51
luis_ok05:51
macoluis_: open a Dolphin instance INSIDE the VM05:51
luis_i am in VM cdrom =)05:51
luis_OH LOL05:51

trampeldarkaura: with suitable "sudo ..." probably?05:51
luis_dolphin instance inside the Vm... WHERE is the VM?05:52
luis_and i am not saying it aloud... i am just contrasting =)05:52
darkauratrampel so I'm looking at my .bashrc, and lets just say it's been a while how do I add it?05:53
menoxwhy not put it in your startup programs in kde?05:54
trampeldarkaura: make a backup copy of it, then open it with an editor, scroll to the bottom and add it, save ...and go have a beer?   **or** do what menox has just suggested05:54
luis_maco: first of all i must tell u... i think virtualboxguest additions is not installed, cause when u click the option to install it, the NAME gets mounted in the VM, but i dont see an iso or a deb ANYWHERE05:55
luis_maco: nevermind... the iso was in the usr/share/vb... but the rare thing is than when u try to boot the machine it says: not bootable media found, and obviously the VBGA is mounted =/05:57
macoyou dont boot from the iso05:57
macoyou install something inside the vm05:58
macothen you mount the vbox extensions iso insde the vm05:58
macothen you install a package from the mounted iso into the v05:58
maco*vm's os05:58
darkauragoing to reboot and try it see what happens brb05:59
luis_maco: then if i dont boot the iso... for what is that iso, and why when u click the option inside VB to install VBGA the name "VBGA" gets mounted in my V machine05:59
luis_VGBA iso*06:00
macoluis_: do you understand what guest extensions means?06:00
luis_nop06:00
luis_i just know there are like plugins06:00
macoits a package you install into the *guest* operating system to make the guest able to handle the virtualized hardware better06:01
luis_oh06:01
luis_ok but06:01
luis_"<maco> you install something inside the vm" what is that "something"06:01
macoan operating system06:01
luis_where i found that, i wanna install it already06:02
luis_OH ROFLMAOOL06:02
luis_know i got u06:02

dylan_how much memory should i give windows xp in virtualbox?06:08
Blizzeranddylan_ : try #vbox06:09
d9500dylan_: how much memory do you have in your computer that is running the native OS?06:09
dylan_i have 500 gig hard drive06:09
d9500dylan: RAM, I mean, not storage06:09
darkauraso I guess I didn't add it to my startup correctly, because it didn't work06:10
dylan_i think 4 mb does that sound right06:10
dylan_i could be dead wrong06:10
menoxlol!!!!06:10
dylan_yea i thought so06:10
dylan_lol06:10
dylan_h/o i'll find out06:10
d9500dylan_: if you're referring to RAM, then windows XP needs at least 512 MB. 768 would be better.06:10
bill_more like 4gb06:10
dylan_yea that's it lol06:10
dylan_so how much base memory?06:11
dylan_would that be ram?06:11
d9500dylan_: yes, base memory in this case refers to RAM. as far as how much to give XP, then I would say anywhere bwteen 512 and 768. however, note carefully how much RAM your actual physical computer has installed.06:12
dylan_i'm good i got a decent computer i just bought it  couple months ago but how big should i make the virtual hard drive?06:13
menoxwinxp will run like crap with 512MB RAM. i would do more if you can spare it06:14
dylan_i put 768 of ram06:14
menoxthat will be good06:15
d9500dylan: if it's just for a program or two, then a few GB over what the actual XP OS itself takes up should be fine. if you plan to save a lot of documents and files in there, then you'll need more space. a good hint is to use a dynamically expanding hard drive, then set it a few GB above what the actual XP install takes. then, as you save more stuff inside the VM, your virtual hard drive can "grow" with it.06:15
menoxhow big is your hard drive?06:15
dylan_500 gig06:16
menoxdylan_ : what d9500 said...06:18
dylan_lol06:18
d9500dylan_, let me know if you need any assistance with making sure the virtual hard drive is the dynamically expanding type06:19
dylan_it is06:19
dylan_i set it to that in the beginning the only question i have left is how much video memory i should set to windows xp06:19
dylan_i have 128 mb06:19
d9500i usually set my VMs to 128 MB video memory. if you're not planning on doing anything video-memory-intensive (opening multiple large photos--for example phototshop--,gaming, or scanning documents to the xp virtual machine) then  64 mb should be enough06:22
dylan_if i set it to 128 it won't make kubuntu crash?06:22
Gintuliswtf? after last update, not work mice Logitech RX100006:23
d9500dylan_, never had it happen on my vbox, and i'm running kde here. i'm not sure if vbox, when drawing to video RAM, uses the native system's RAM modules, or the video RAM on the video card but either way, if you have plenty of RAM and a relatively modern intel, nvidia, orati card you should be fine to set it to 128 mb video RAM for the virtual machine06:24
dylan_sweet :) thanks06:25
gthello, hey where i can get python?06:25
d9500gt, it should already be installed on most linux distros.06:26
d9500what distro are you running06:26
gt8.0406:26
d9500ubuntu?06:27
gtkubuntu06:27
d9500open your package manager--synaptic or adept--and do a search for python. see if it shows as installed06:27

dylan_mine 1366x76807:08
dylan_win xp is lame as hell and doesnt have it07:08
carpiialso you need to tell XP you have a big monitor, before itll let you pick big resolutions07:08
d9500dylan, i know it may sound like a dumb question, but have you installed the guest additions?07:08
dylan_i just got done installling the os on the virtual machine so not yet i was bout to do that though07:09
dylan_will that fix the prob?07:09
* carpii sighs07:09
d9500ok.install guest additons, reboot your vm, then hit ctrl+f (assuming you use ctrl as the default "host" key in vbox.)07:09
d9500the screen should then maximize to the native resolution oof your physical monitor07:10
d9500although you may have to manually turn the screen resolution up to say, 1024x768 first, then hit ctrl=f. that may work better07:10
dylan_that's what i got it set to now becuase any bigger and the height of the screen is too big for my monitor07:11

dylan_the virtual machine runs just as fast in seamless mode as it does in window mode right?07:13
d9500right. i'm not sure how the guest additions work for xp, but in an ubuntu vm, i think it install a driver for your videocard and changes your xorg.conf to use the new driver. win xp has no xorg.conf, of course, but if it also install the vbox video driver for xp, then your vm may just need the driver installed to get full resolution screen size. kind of like when you first install a fresh load of xp on a physical machine, then have to go to nvidia's or07:13
d9500 ati's website and download the drivers.07:13
d9500and yes, in regards to seamless, i would think so. seamless causes problems with screen corruption when i try it, though07:13
dylan_i usually never did seamless mode becuase my monitor too much wider than it is tall to have 2 start menu's07:14
d9500dylan_, try moving the xp taskbar to the side of the screen, then going into seamless. it's worth a shot.07:15
dylan_good idea07:15
d9500but remember. you have to have guest additions installed for seamless to work07:15
dylan_it's download guest additions right now but i'm downloading atlantica online to and that's 1.8 gig download :/07:16
dylan_i just hope the vm will play the game at full speed07:17

d9500vietred: no, i know there's a better way. let me check ubottu's factoids and see if i can make it give the link07:31
vietredd9500: may be there is no way to fool XP without disconnect my HDD 107:31
d9500no, but there's a way to reinstall or fix grub after letting xp overwrite the master boot record. i know there is, i just can't find the link07:32
d9500give me a minute and i'll try to locate it07:33

yang__Hey, I have a simple question.08:10
yang__I can't shutdown from the CLL on a CLL only System08:11
yang__sudo shutdown now , the system comes up in maitence mode?08:11
d9500sudo poweroff, maybe?08:11
d9500yang__: if sudo poweroff does not work, then...hmm..does it say anything about a corrupt filsystem or that the system needs to run fsck on /dev/sdaX08:13
yang__hmm havent tried poweroff08:13
yang__just noticed it on *buntu systems before but always had GUI. so minor annoyance08:14
yang__but on CLL only sys , nt08:14
yang__booting up comp to test again08:14
yang__sudo somwhatworks..08:16
yang__dosn't APCI shutdown08:16
yang__says halted and stays on08:16
r00t_ninjasudo poweroff08:16
yang__hmmm maybe X86PC instead of APCI ?08:16
r00t_ninjadid you try poweroff?08:16
yang__o lol srry sudo poweroff almost work nt sudo haha08:17
yang__yes08:17
yang__it worked somewhat..08:17
yang__as described above "says halted and stays on"08:17
r00t_ninjahow old is this computer?08:17
yang__maybe not APCI compliant08:17
yang__p2 400 MHZ08:17
r00t_ninjathats why08:17
r00t_ninjaits like that on my old celeron 400mhz08:18
r00t_ninjathe motherboards are to old08:18
yang__IDK i bought for $10 USD08:19
yang__OLD gatway its a p208:19
yang__potentially before 1999 so probably no APCI compliant meaning no soft off08:19
yang__15 GB Drive and 192 MB Ram thats pretty good for a P208:20
r00t_ninjayea08:20
yang__anyway ty08:22
d9500yang__, so it's like the old "it's now safe to turn off your computer" message back in the, ahem, glory days of windows 95? i guess wait till it halts then do a power off manually.08:22
yang__sudo poweroff will be good to rembember08:22

dylan_i was testing out the guest os w/ that pinball game that comes with windows and when i try to click onto the full screen mode for the game the guest os shrinks down from full screen into a small window?09:57
d9500intel cards use a foss driver, but the driver loads binary only firmware09:57
dylan_it doesnt zoom in like it is supposed to does anyone know why09:58
d9500one an xp computer i use, i've noticed that fu,llscreening the pinball game makes the game itself look grainier, so i'm guessing that it changes the resolution to a lower one, maybe? if it does that, then the low res change will show in vbox as a smaller screen.09:59
dylan_yea10:00
dylan_is it gonna do that no matter what?10:00
dylan_or is there a way to make it in full screen10:00
dylan_because i have a feeling that it is going to do that when i try to full screen atlantica online to10:00
d9500dylan: if the game itself will only show in say, 800x600 res, then the only way for the computer, physical or virtual, to make the game cover the whole computer screen is to reduce the res to the aforementioned 800x600. it depends on what the game itself supports.10:01
dylan_oh so i'll just lower the res in kubuntu to the same res the game is in10:02
d9500on your host kubuntu machine? sure, that could work. might make your screen look grainy, but it should do the trick10:03
dylan_i would put the game in the same res as my computer screen but my video card isnt that good10:03
dylan_:/10:03
dylan_it'll prolly get laggy10:04
d9500in the case of pinball, it may not be the video card. say the game itself only runs as 800x600. when you're on, say, a 1300x760 screen, the lower res on the game can show as a smaller window. but if the game's coding itself does not allow it to go over 800x600, for whatever reason (ask the people who coded it, IANAP), then regardless of your video card, when you fullscreen it, if the only way to show fullscreen game is to reduce screen to lower res, th10:06
d9500en the res will reduce.10:06
d9500your could be running two gtx 295s in sli and the game wouldnt care10:06
d9500(please bear in mind this is all theory based on my observations. i could be wrong of course.)10:06
d9500there's also pinball program/s you can download for your host kubuntu machine, via software center.10:11

Gustav_Hi guys!14:05
spike_gehello14:05
spike_gei've got a question. Upgraded to 9.10, at restart kdm does not work anylonger14:05
Gustav_Can anyone help me out? I just wanted to try kubuntu a little bit and worked fine so far, installed it and its up and running.14:05
yofel!anyone | Gustav_14:06
ubottuGustav_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?14:06
Gustav_But I'm too dump to even mount my second hard disk drive, or I can't find it anywhere around. It is brand new and was plugged in during all the installation.14:06
yofelGustav_: internal or usb?14:06
Gustav_internal14:07
Gustav_He found it during installation.14:07
Gustav_And I can still see it with fdisk -l14:07
|moe|did you install with LVM?14:07
yofelGustav_: does 'sudo fdisk -l' in a konsole find it?14:07
Gustav_It is /dev/sda, I made a primary partition to sda1, also worked fine.14:08
Gustav_In the web I just found, that ubuntu finds the hdd itselfs and mounts it, but where?14:09
yofelGustav_: /dev/sda should be your first drive and /dev/sdb your second (if they're both sata)14:09
Gustav_They are14:09
Gustav_I installed kubuntu on sdb14:09
yofelok14:09
Gustav_It made some partitions sdb1, sdb2 and sdb5, all fine for me, do whatever it likes.14:10
Gustav_In /media I have cdrom and floppy0 (even so I don't have a floppy connected, but that doesn't matter)14:10
yofelGustav_: those are always there14:11
yofelGustav_: does dolphin show your drive in the sidebar?14:11
=== CRUNCHBANG is now known as Guest63498
Gustav_And I found something in the web to change fstab, I did as recommended, but it didn't change anything (also did mount -a afterwards, sudo of course)14:11
Gustav_No14:11
yofelhm, if you have an entry in fstab it should work, did you use the correct fs type?14:13
Gustav_The hdd was brand new, I created the partition with fdisk (which I knew from Win), perhaps it doesn't like the fdisk stuff? Could it be, that I made a mistake there?14:13
Gustav_Just created a primary partition with all sectors in it.14:13
yofelGustav_: err... you DID format the partition after creating it?14:13
Gustav_I used, ext4, the sdb1 used the same14:13
Gustav_Not explicit, I closed fdisk with "w" which sad, that it writes the information and closes itself.14:14
yofelGustav_: you created the partition with fdisk and then run mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 right?14:14
yofelGustav_: you can't mount a partition that has no file system on it14:14
Gustav_Ok, I think I didn't do the second point.14:15
Gustav_I didn't create that filesystem, how do I do that?14:15
Gustav_Sorry, for all the dumbness down here, is my first time with kubuntu.14:15
yofelGustav_: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 should be fine - why didn't you use partitionmanager?14:15
Gustav_I didn't knew partitionmanager until a few minutes ago, but then it didn't start.14:16
yofelGustav_: wait, you said it's sda114:17
Gustav_right now (when you said "use it") it DID start, and now I'm formatting my sda1 with ext4 (which is in progress right now).14:17
yofelwell, gotta run, please ask somebody else for help if you need it14:17
Gustav_I think this did it... it's running now.14:17
Gustav_I will notify you, if it worked.14:17

ref_0Hello. I have a problem with kubuntu 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04) and I want to report it as a bug in launchpad but I don't know how do that, I do not know which files and info attach.14:40
ref_0The problem is that when I copy files (up to 50MB and tested from konsole or dolphin), the system becomes slow and unusable until the task is complete.14:40
theballls14:41
theballmt14:41
Kubuntiac@ref_0 what happens when you go to the console and do ubuntu-bug dolphin ?14:41
Kubuntiac(ubuntu-bug is how you collect the basic needed system info for a bug report, along with a description)14:43
ref_0But it also occurs copying files from konsole14:44
Kubuntiacewww - that's something deeper then14:44
KubuntiacHmm... *thinks*14:44
ref_0I think it's a problem with the kernel. With 2.6.28 the problem does not occur in karmic. Only with 2.6.3114:45
KubuntiacNot sure. Maybe this should be filed on the kernel14:45
KubuntiacCan you try booting with a different version of the kernel in Karmic?14:46
KubuntiacIf you've had any kernel updates you could go back and try the older ones (if you've removed them you can use a live cd)14:47
KubuntiacOtherwise you can report a bug on it with ubuntu-bug linux14:48

happyhessianadaptr: yea i guess so.  what's considered the minimum reasonable sized partition for kubuntu 9.10?16:33

sorush20Ii started pidgin and the sound for connecting to irc network worked.. but youtube on firefox doesn't work, skype isn't detecting my sound devices..16:36
sorush20csan I get any help16:36
happyhessianadaptr: right, so i guess i should make a clean install on 16+G, then format my current partition and turn it into home.  for the short term i'll need more than that--i have a good 50GB of home that i want to salvage from my current partition so i'll have to make space for it, at least temporarily.  is there a simple way to repartition for home?16:39
adaptrif you have the space in your current partition, sure - boot up with a livecd, and shrink the FS, then shrink the partition, then make a new partition in the empty space, copy your files over to it, unmount, and shrink the old partition further16:41
adaptrsimple, no16:41
happyhessianadaptr:"shrinking the partition"--how do i do that? with gparted or the like?16:42
adaptryes16:43
adaptrresize2fs for the FS, then parted for the partition16:43
adaptryou're much, much better off with using a second disk for this16:43
happyhessianand once a partition is made there isn't really any reason why i can't grow it or shrink it according to my whims (other than the obvious size constraints)16:43
DelvienIs there an easy way to install a KDE 4 theme? I see nothing in the UI to do this16:44
happyhessiani have one but it's full, that's the thing--in the past i would just copy home to my second disk, format entirely and then copy it back16:44
happyhessianif i'm willing to let go of some large files i could do it again now16:44

saurabhi have a problem while installing ns2 on kubuntu 9.1016:46

adaptrhappyhessian: that will always be separate16:47
saurabhadaptr: error: tk8.4.18 make failed16:49
adaptrhappyhessian: with LVM, the separate partitions would not matter - just chain them together into one LV after you're done copying16:49

rjlynnhey guys, any alsa geniuses here? I can't for the life of me get the S/PDIF out on my laptop to work (HP dv9720us). OSS4 WILL let it work, but I couldn't find a nice device switcher for it. I need to be able to use S/PDIF when docked, but the laptops speakers when not (it doesnt need to be automatic)16:52
happyhessianadaptr: so before i log off and start to get my hands dirty...i should boot live, run resize2fs on my old partition, then make a new partition to install to, install, and then work with lvm as you mentioned16:55
adaptrno16:55
happyhessianadaptr: glad i checked then...16:56
adaptrboot a livecd, run resize2fs to make some space at the end of the drive, make an LVM partition there, one VG, one LV, mount, copy your data there, unmount all partitions, remove the old partition, make new system partition that's exactly the right size, install OS, make second LVM partition in th espace between the two new partitions, add it to the existing LV, and presto - all space used as you wanted16:57

happyhessiani've been following this guide, more or less: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions .  I was confused for a while about how i could keep my data if i delete the partition that it's on but then i realized that the whole point of resize2fs is that you shrink and record exactly where your fs starts and stops.  so you don't have to copy your data, you just clothe a partition upon the data that has just been shrunk.  the only thing18:26
happyhessian that i'm still a bit fuzzy about is how to make the lvm partitions.  i imagine that i would open fdisk and tell it to make a partition to complement my shrunken fs and then use the lvm tools to make the correct partitions there, more or less following http://www.tuxradar.com/content/lvm-made-easy18:26

happyhessian partition?).  then i concatenate the two lvs? or i just make the new lv part of the first vg?18:43
velhohelp! How to install azureus and firefox in kubuntu? thanks18:43
happyhessiansorry to be so pedantic about this, i just know that if i mess it up i could end up really really sorry18:44
adaptrno, that's about it18:44
russlarvelho: there's an installer for firefox18:44
happyhessianvelho: firefox installs almost automatically18:44
velhoin the official site?18:44
adaptrwhether you want to use an LVM partition for your system is up to you - perhaps you need to expand it in the future....18:44
russlarvelho: no18:44
happyhessianvelho: click on the little k in the left corner18:44
developer-sivelho: open KPackageKit and search for azureus18:44
adaptrvelho: it's already installed18:44
happyhessianvelho: then type "firefox" and you'll see it18:44
happyhessianvelho: and consider using ktorrent, it's a delightful little program18:45
adaptrazureus is shit, use ktorrent18:45
velhoi prefer azureus, since is closs platform18:45
velhosorry, but firefox is not installed18:45
* adaptr nonplusses18:45
adaptrvelho: that is not possible.18:45
happyhessianadaptr: it does seem to be superior... so i just add the new lv to the vg and it will behave as if it is in the same partition as the initial lv?18:46
adaptrvelho: you screwed up an Ubuntu installation; I will alert the Guiness people.18:46
happyhessianvelho: that's probably the installer, click on it and see what happens18:46
jussio1adaptr: please watch the language ;)18:46
adaptrhappyhessian: no.. add the PV to the VG18:46
velhoI thought also... I'm coming to linux again after serveral years, and as I recall, firefox was installed automaticaly18:46
happyhessianahh, ok18:46
russlarvelho: open up a terminal, and run sudo apt-get install firefox18:47
adaptrjussio1: well, compared to ktorrent, azureus IS pretty crappy18:47
developer-siI tried ktorrent and I like it.18:48
jussio1adaptr: maybe, however we need to keep it family friendly in here, so please be careful with your language.18:48

happyhessianadaptr: now i'm a little bit confused.  after i format my old partition, i'm going to repartition it with fdisk.  i'll then turn that into a pv.  now, i want to attach part of this pv to my already made lv and part of it i want to be treated as its own partition.  should i make two pvs then?18:54
russlarvelho: we've given it. use the kpackagekit application18:54

macofungos: it hit a few people before release, but not enough that a trend was noticed19:59
macoit was *on release day* when 200 bugs were filed for "no sound" and it was the wrong kernel that we figured out what was up20:00
macothe percentage hitting it is *very* small, so it took until thousands of people installed it for a trend to show up20:00
macomy roommate and i both tried to reproduce it...ours updated no problems.  some devs seem to have figured out *what* causes it, like 4 days ago, but we still dont know how 9.04 got into the bad state for those people where it then broke this20:01

happyhessianthese vm things are really cool.  i've successfully copied my home into a new partition, formatted the old one and repartitioned it into two: 20G for the system and 38G to be rejoined with home.22:25
happyhessianbut i'm having some trouble allocating the space to the 38G partition22:25
kaddiis there a way to backup my friendslist on kopete? so that I can just restore the "normal" one, when kopete acts up the next time?22:26
happyhessiani made it part of the same vg as the first partition but then when i tried to extend it to its full size, i got22:27
happyhessian# lvextend -L3000000K /dev/homevg/secondlv    Rounding up size to full physical extent 2.86 GB   Extending logical volume secondlv to 2.86 GB22:27

happyhessianadaptr: or actually, here's more output: http://pastebin.com/f3a4566ac22:30
adaptrhappyhessian: this implies you are using two LVs for your home partition - how would that work ?22:31
adaptras I said before - two PVs, one VG, one LV22:31
happyhessianok, how do i make one lv over two pvs?22:31
adaptrhappyhessian: it did exactly what you told it to do. count your zeroes.22:33
happyhessianadaptr: yea, i was an order of magnitude off--but i understand from you now that that whole approach is wrong. also, even though i was an order of magnitude off, it still gave me "insufficient free space."  what is the right way to do this?22:35
adaptrthe Right way would be to follow the manual - this situation is undoubtedly documented22:35
adaptra PV is an ordinary partition - you can have as many as your disk layout supports22:36
adaptra VG is agrouping of PVs that are handled as a "pool" of disk space22:36
adaptrLVs are created out of this pool, in any combination you need22:36
happyhessianmmmm, i'm beginning to understand22:36
adaptrthe value of this abstraction is that you can make, destroy, extend, and shrink Lvs however you see fit, without changing a single byte on disk22:37
yofellovre: it's not that rc.local isn't run at startup, but the upstart transition seems to have messed up the timings :/22:38
lovreyofel: so its getting called at a wrong time?22:39
happyhessianadaptr: so once i connect a PV to a LG a LV which is already in that group can extend to the newly connected PV?22:39
yofellovre: seems like it to me, since my rc.local *does* run, but a timing sensitive command doesn't work like it did in jaunty22:40
adaptrhappyhessian: should be, yes22:40
lovreyofel: you can tell that it runs because some commands execute? That makes sense..22:40
happyhessianso now i just have to figure out the syntax and everything22:40
adaptrhappyhessian: the VG pool has "grown" in size, which can then be used by any LV on that VG22:40
lovreyofel: what do you think can i use in exchange for rc.local? i need a command to be run at startup with root privileges22:41
happyhessianadaptr: even though it's almost 1am and i've been working on this for hours, i have to say that is really cool.22:41
yofellovre: no idea sry, I'm still trying to figure that out myself22:41
lovreyofel: :( ok thanx22:42
adaptrhappyhessian: it is, ye s- and you could go one step further, by including the root partition PV in the VG and cutting it up any which way22:42
happyhessianand give it its own LV?22:43
Riding-HighJust wondering, I'm running Kubuntu on my Asus EEE and can't get things to install without a real struggle - I heard it might have something to do with setting permissions for the SSD? Does anyone know how to change them?22:43
adaptrhappyhessian: exactly22:44
velhogood night kubuntu comunity, thanks for ALL the help! Great things to all ;-)22:45
adaptrhappyhessian: I think we're done :)22:45
adaptrLVM cram 10122:45
happyhessiani hope so... i still have to figure out the syntax for adding the pv to the lg.  but thanks a lot, this is obviously a superior way to manage hdds.22:45
adaptrit has its moments22:46
adaptrif you want to scale up, move to EVMS2 - it'll blow your mind further22:46
happyhessianmaybe i'll save that for tomorrow night at 1am :)22:47
adaptrbut it's very not useful for home deployments22:47
adaptr*not very22:47

nomopofomohad a question regarding bittorrent and ed2k... why is it that peers can connect to me when i use utorrent in windows but not ktorrent in linux? my ports are forwarded and i'm even using the upnp plugin for ktorrent... and in mldonkey i can never get a highid no matter what i try... is there something i'm missing? and no, i'm not using iptables or any firewall software that i'm aware of unless ubuntu snuck something in...23:39

nomopofomov1ttu_: is there anything more recent for kde4?23:49
developer-simaco: cool, thanks .. I'll try it out23:50
nomopofomov1ttu_: also heard that ubuntu by default denies all incoming connections, that true?23:50
v1ttu_yeah23:50
nomopofomov1ttu_: how can i disable that?23:50
maconomopofomo: by default the firewall (iptables) is not configured. since no services are listening on any external ports, this is effectively like deny23:50
v1ttu_li nux has a secure built in firewall23:50
v1ttu_and no23:50
v1ttu_no more recent version than the repos i dont think23:51
nomopofomov1ttu_: ok so i need to open it up myself23:51
v1ttu_open what?23:51
v1ttu_the firewall?23:51
nomopofomov1ttu_: the ports23:51
v1ttu_why??23:51
maconomopofomo: if you start a service that listens on an external port, it will show up as open when you port scan it23:51
maconomopofomo: the firewall is NOT configured by default23:52
macoit just *looks* like deny-all when you port scan because nothing is listening23:52
v1ttu_still works23:52
macoif you start a service listening, then itll show that port as open when you port scan23:52
macoas long as nothing is listening, it doesnt matter what your firewall settings are23:53
v1ttu_which version of kbuntu are you using ?23:53
nomopofomomaco: i'm confused here, basically what i'm trying to figure out is why people can't connect to me when i'm seeding torrents... and it works fine in windows... if i open up iptables (or use a firewall gui) and make an entry that allows whichever port, will it start working? everything is properly forwarded in my router but uploads are very shoddy23:53
v1ttu_kubuntu*23:53
