| duryodhan | Hi , is there a simple way to add ical calendars to the KDE desktop so that I can see my upcoming appointments ? Kubuntu 9.04 KDE 4.3.2 | 00:16 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | How do we disable ipv6 these days? | 00:16 |
| carpii | last i heard, there was a kernel bug which meant you couldnt disable ipv6 | 00:16 |
| carpii | that was fedora though | 00:16 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | ipv6 isn't loaded as a module - maybe they've compiled it in. "You WILL use IPV6 even though no networks support it. It's GOOD for you!" | 00:17 |
| Qu4Z | My network supports it :D | 00:20 |

| jhutchins_lt_ | pookito: 278 people at least lurking. | 00:26 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | pookito: No, it would have to be gated to usenet. There should be a web archive interface. | 00:27 |

| rengil | the desktop doesn't lock itself when waking up from hibernate, is there a fix? | 00:39 |
| pulaski | Hello All, | 00:48 |
| whirleystar | so nepomuk... i'm using karmic.... think i switched it over to sesame2 correctly... it's been pegged at 100% for like 4 hrs, is that normal? | 00:49 |
| rengil_ | how can i make it so that the session is locked when waking up from hibernate? | 00:49 |
| pulaski | I have recently insalled 9.10 karmic. It uses the 2.6.31-14-generic kernel. I actually wanted to have the 2.8.31 kernel. Can anyone provide a link where I can find out about 2.8.31 development or how I can obtain it? | 00:51 |
| giz | hey Pulaski | 00:51 |
| pulaski | giz: Hi | 00:52 |
| pulaski | giz: I need the 2.8.31 kernel for a SB X-fi sound card driver. Do you have any info on that topic or where I can get more info about it? | 00:54 |
| rengil_ | grr this kubuntu is full of bugs, it doesnt lock after waking from hibernate and its been months and they havent fixed it in the new release yet | 00:54 |
| rengil_ | and no one knows how to fix it either | 00:55 |
| rengil_ | in that respect, windows is much better | 00:55 |
| giz | pulaski: sorry, I have no idea, but I was just about to google it | 00:56 |
| pulaski | giz: Thanks for responding. I've been searching for a while for the gnu/linux driver and I've learned it can be expected in the 2.8.31 kernel. I know nothing about kernel development or release. Do you have any idea when kernel 2.8.31 may be released giz? | 01:00 |
| giz | pulaski:I think you mean 2.6.31 ? | 01:02 |

| underdog7 | would anyone be able to provide me with any insight/guide/tutorials on networking 2 computers (both using ubuntu) over a router network? | 04:34 |
| russlar | underdog7: what do you want to do with the two machines | 04:35 |
| russlar | underdog7: simply plugging them in on the same subnet will network them | 04:35 |
| underdog7 | russlar: mostly just file sharing for now | 04:35 |
| russlar | both linux, no need for windows access? | 04:35 |
| underdog7 | nope | 04:36 |
| russlar | !nfs | 04:36 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 04:36 |
| russlar | read that | 04:36 |
| underdog7 | perfect. thanks russlar. | 04:36 |
| underdog7 | russlar: there is no easier method? | 04:39 |
| russlar | not really | 04:39 |
| underdog7 | lol jeese | 04:39 |
| underdog7 | wish it was as ez as windows | 04:39 |
| russlar | underdog7: oh hell, they've got all that in the how-to doc? | 04:40 |
| underdog7 | haha yeah | 04:40 |
| russlar | wow..... | 04:40 |
| russlar | all you'll need in teh installation and confguration esction | 04:40 |
| r00t_ninja | samba | 04:40 |
| r00t_ninja | try samba with system-config-samba | 04:41 |
| russlar | mount the share on teh client with mount ip:/share mountpoint | 04:41 |
| underdog7 | okay, so do it through samba | 04:41 |
| r00t_ninja | actually use SMB4k | 04:42 |
| underdog7 | r00t_ninja: okay, i'm dling it now. thx. will give it a try. | 04:44 |
| r00t_ninja | actually sorry i was wrong system-config-samba is what you will want | 04:47 |
| RussellAlan | can i setup a program to initially control win7 machines? For network admin. | 04:49 |
| r00t_ninja | like some sort of vnc? | 04:51 |
| underdog7 | r00t_ninja: any idea on where/how i can setup system-config-samba? | 04:55 |
| r00t_ninja | search it in kpackagekit | 04:55 |
| r00t_ninja | it will show in the system menu | 04:55 |
| underdog7 | okay, does this make a diff if i'm running ubuntu (not kubuntu)? is there an alternative solution for ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| r00t_ninja | nah samba-system-config is in both | 04:56 |
| r00t_ninja | sudo apt-get install system-config-samba | 04:56 |
| underdog7 | i see samba, | 04:57 |
| underdog7 | i see that i can put shares, etc | 04:57 |
| underdog7 | but how will i connect 2 those shares from the othe rmachine? | 04:57 |
| r00t_ninja | windows? | 04:57 |
| underdog7 | ubuntu | 04:57 |
| underdog7 | both | 04:57 |
| r00t_ninja | ubuntu go into network:/ | 04:58 |
| r00t_ninja | windows go into my network places | 04:58 |
| r00t_ninja | nautilus and dolphin both have builtin browsing of samba | 04:59 |
| r00t_ninja | samew with windows | 04:59 |
| underdog7 | okay, i go in there, and it only shows my windows network | 04:59 |
| underdog7 | no samba network | 04:59 |
| underdog7 | woops | 04:59 |
| r00t_ninja | the windows network should be it | 04:59 |
| underdog7 | do i need the samba installed on both? | 04:59 |
| r00t_ninja | no | 05:00 |
| r00t_ninja | your wanting to share files and folders on the computer with samba-system-config | 05:00 |
| r00t_ninja | ? | 05:00 |
| underdog7 | okay -- do i need to match workgroup names, etc b/c i'm getting "windows network" is "unable to mount location" | 05:00 |
| underdog7 | yes | 05:00 |
| r00t_ninja | so what computer are you talking about? | 05:01 |
| underdog7 | okay, i'm sorry, let me be clear: | 05:02 |
| underdog7 | i've install the samba files you've discussed on the "host" machine (the computer with the files i want to be able 2 network to other comps on the network). on this comp, in the Samba config, do i need to set workgroup or any other settings? or once i installed system-config-samba, should it just show up in the "network" from the "client" machines? | 05:03 |
| r00t_ninja | yes you need to set the workgroup the same | 05:04 |
| r00t_ninja | as on the windows computer | 05:04 |
| underdog7 | b/c whenever i click on "windows network" from the client machine, it says "unable to mount location" | 05:04 |
| underdog7 | (and both the comps are ubuntu) | 05:04 |

| underdog7 | second, do ur instructions change any if both comps are runnning ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| r00t_ninja | no | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | except | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | you probably wont have to set the workgroup on the ubuntu computer | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | wait | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | dw | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | the workgroup wont matter for the ubuntu computer | 05:08 |
| r00t_ninja | (client) | 05:08 |
| underdog7 | where do i change the workgroup name for the host? | 05:09 |
| underdog7 | i don't know where to do that in ubuntu | 05:09 |
| underdog7 | okay, let me just try a fresh reboot; brb | 05:11 |
| r00t_ninja | ok | 05:11 |
| r00t_ninja | underdog7: you still need to change workgroup? | 05:15 |
| underdog7 | well, i was reading up a bit, n i think some1 said ubuntu doesn't use workgroup names -- only windows. | 05:16 |
| r00t_ninja | yea | 05:16 |
| r00t_ninja | you can set it for samba tho | 05:16 |
| underdog7 | so i don't think that would matter 2 me b/c both my machines are linux | 05:16 |
| r00t_ninja | also | 05:16 |
| r00t_ninja | have you added any shares | 05:16 |

| underdog7 | r00t_ninja: okay, embarassingly, i found out that the CLIENT did NOT have samba installed. so now, the client shows itself (as "laptop") but there is no "desktop" (the host). | 05:37 |
| r00t_ninja | are these nvidia drivers? | 05:37 |
| F4wltytowers | yes | 05:37 |
| underdog7 | r00t_ninja: (in the network dialogue) | 05:37 |
| F4wltytowers | And before you say it, no, with my internet connection, it does NOT take more than two hours to download some bloody drivers | 05:38 |
| underdog7 | F4wltytowers: that's def weird man | 05:38 |
| F4wltytowers | Oh great | 05:38 |
| F4wltytowers | Now the dialog doesn't even work now | 05:38 |
| r00t_ninja | does the dialog come up? | 05:38 |
| F4wltytowers | "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." | 05:38 |
| F4wltytowers | Really fantastic. | 05:38 |
| r00t_ninja | that says installing | 05:38 |
| F4wltytowers | Um, no?!? | 05:39 |
| r00t_ninja | it wasnt installing then | 05:39 |
| r00t_ninja | it wasnt even downloading | 05:39 |
| F4wltytowers | You've lost me. | 05:39 |
| F4wltytowers | So why is it not even working now? | 05:39 |
| r00t_ninja | when you clicked activate | 05:39 |
| r00t_ninja | did another window pop up | 05:39 |
| F4wltytowers | No | 05:39 |
| r00t_ninja | it wasnt even downloading them then | 05:40 |
| F4wltytowers | Now jockey crashed | 05:40 |
| r00t_ninja | reboot | 05:40 |
| F4wltytowers | Really great work here guys. No really, you did fantastic | 05:40 |
| r00t_ninja | sriously rebooy | 05:40 |
| r00t_ninja | sriously reboot | 05:40 |
| F4wltytowers | Yes, I DID reboot. | 05:41 |
| r00t_ninja | ok open up the hardware drivers dialog | 05:42 |
| F4wltytowers | It's still being a worthless piece of garbage as usual | 05:42 |
| r00t_ninja | wait | 05:42 |
| F4wltytowers | There are two windows in the taskbar | 05:42 |
| F4wltytowers | One I can't see or open | 05:42 |
| r00t_ninja | what are they | 05:42 |
| r00t_ninja | is one untitled? | 05:42 |
| F4wltytowers | One is just the stupid no drivers in use on this system dialog | 05:42 |
| F4wltytowers | The one I couldn't access just disappeared. | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | Now what? | 05:43 |
| r00t_ninja | what nvidia drivers were you trying to install? | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | 185 | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | Do I have to sacrifice a goat or something to get it installed? | 05:43 |
| r00t_ninja | go into | 05:43 |
| r00t_ninja | kpackagekit | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | Oh jolly | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | I already tried installing it manually | 05:43 |
| F4wltytowers | It didn't work | 05:43 |
| r00t_ninja | did you install all the right packages | 05:44 |
| F4wltytowers | They were installed but the it wouldn't use them | 05:44 |
| ropz | why every restart my start menu and all change direction ? i can fix it by kdm stop kdm start , thanks | 05:44 |
| r00t_ninja | did you install the modalias package? | 05:44 |
| F4wltytowers | yes | 05:44 |
| r00t_ninja | did you try run nvidia-xconfig | 05:44 |
| r00t_ninja | to make a new configuration | 05:44 |
| r00t_ninja | that usually fixes shit | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 05:45 |
| F4wltytowers | Hang on | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | (u will need to restart xorh | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | (u will need to restart xorg) | 05:45 |
| F4wltytowers | But whoever spent half a minute porting jockey over to kubuntu needs to be pimp slapped. | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | yea | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | it sucks | 05:45 |
| r00t_ninja | to install my nvidia drivers | 05:45 |
| F4wltytowers | Okay, installed | 05:46 |

| ropz | why every restart my start menu and all change direction ? i can fix it by kdm stop kdm start , thanks | 05:46 |
| r00t_ninja | then click my nvidia drivers | 05:46 |
| r00t_ninja | disable session restor | 05:46 |

| vitamin-carrot | file and folder sharing in kubuntu do i still need to install samba? | 06:32 |
| user__ | yup | 06:32 |
| user__ | you need | 06:32 |
| user__ | samba v3 | 06:32 |
| user__ | not samba 4 | 06:32 |
| FloodBotK1 | user__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:32 |
| vitamin-carrot | so what verison is in the repos? | 06:33 |
| user__ | both are there | 06:33 |
| vitamin-carrot | so if i went sudo apt-get install samba | 06:33 |
| user__ | v4 is badly broken i guess | 06:33 |
| user__ | yup | 06:33 |
| user__ | samba, not samba4 | 06:34 |
| vitamin-carrot | would that drag down samba 4 or 3? | 06:34 |
| user__ | 3 i guess | 06:34 |
| vitamin-carrot | coolies well ive done that but it appears im still having issues sharing my folders witht he gf who is also using kubuntu | 06:34 |
| user__ | edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf | 06:35 |
| user__ | then add user to samba using smbpasswd | 06:35 |
| user__ | i think you have to be root first to add a user using smbpasswd | 06:36 |
| r00t_ninja | or try system-config-samba | 06:37 |
| r00t_ninja | for a gui | 06:37 |
| user__ | yeah, it is easier | 06:37 |
| user__ | i have not tried it yet | 06:37 |
| user__ | but you can check the gui output by looking what changed in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 06:37 |
| vitamin-carrot | that a cmd line? | 06:37 |
| r00t_ninja | no | 06:38 |
| user__ | i think so, system-config-samba | 06:38 |
| user__ | what's that? | 06:38 |
| r00t_ninja | its a samba configuration gui | 06:38 |
| vitamin-carrot | brb | 06:38 |
| vitamin-carrot | nope still n0ot able to share folders | 06:41 |
| dios_mio | this is a fresh install... the nvidia driver popup comes up but the "activate" button doesnt work, i click on it and it does nothing | 06:41 |
| r00t_ninja | double click it | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja | wait | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja | go into hardware drivers | 06:42 |
| dios_mio | ok | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja | double click the driver you want | 06:42 |
| r00t_ninja | and then click activate | 06:42 |
| user__ | netstat -a -p -t -n | less | 06:42 |
| dios_mio | ok thx | 06:42 |
| dios_mio | works | 06:42 |
| user__ | check if samba service is running | 06:42 |
| user__ | smbd | 06:42 |
| user__ | or used: | 06:43 |
| user__ | "/etc/init.d/samba restart" | 06:43 |
| user__ | then check smbd service is running | 06:43 |

| tellerius | hi folks | 07:03 |
| tellerius | i installed kubuntu-desktop last night and upgraded the distro via the applet on the systray and now i get an error when i try to boot. it doesnt matter which kernel version i choose. the error i get is "error: unknown command 'initrd'" | 07:05 |
| tellerius | i can bring up the minimal cmd line, but thats as far as i can get. | 07:06 |
| user__ | try a re-install | 07:07 |
| user__ | do you need your data? | 07:07 |
| tellerius | yeah my data would be nice. | 07:07 |
| user__ | upgrade path is buggy | 07:07 |
| user__ | boot from cd | 07:07 |
| tellerius | no cd. | 07:08 |
| user__ | then move all your data to /hide/mydata/ | 07:08 |
| user__ | then erase all other folders like /bin, /var, /usr etc | 07:08 |
| user__ | then install | 07:08 |
| user__ | then move back your data from /hide/mydata/ to their original folders | 07:09 |
| user__ | no cd? | 07:09 |
| user__ | can you try to get one? | 07:09 |
| user__ | it is the only method i know | 07:10 |
| tellerius | nope, the drive is shagged, hence the reason the laptop has ubuntu on it in the first place. | 07:10 |
| user__ | seems difficult to fix, | 07:11 |
| user__ | your boot config is damaged | 07:11 |
| tellerius | no way i can roll back te upgrade? or reinstall grub from the cmd line? remembering its not a full cmd line, just the minimal one | 07:12 |
| user__ | no need to rollback | 07:12 |
| user__ | just fix current problem, i think it is fixable | 07:12 |
| user__ | reinstalling grub is good idea | 07:13 |
| user__ | but don't know how to early from bootup | 07:13 |
| tellerius | ok, but the question remains, how do i go about that from the dodgy commande line that grub gives me? | 07:13 |
| tellerius | im happy with a how-to somewhere online =) | 07:14 |
| user__ | google grub re-install | 07:14 |
| user__ | :) | 07:15 |
| tellerius | ive done that, there are plenty of instructions telling me to "insert the disk" but i dont have that luxury. | 07:15 |
| user__ | i think you need the disk | 07:16 |
| user__ | grub loader has little features to fix incorrect boot config | 07:16 |
| tellerius | well thats handy. | 07:17 |
| user__ | you need an editor to check or edit /boot/menu.lst | 07:17 |
| tellerius | hrmmm looks like im not doing any work today. | 07:17 |
| user__ | yeah, if you don't fix it, you can't work | 07:18 |
| tellerius | pitty i dont get paid if i dont work. | 07:18 |
| user__ | that's not good.. better get paid | 07:19 |
| tellerius | well, looks like i have to fix it tomorrow. | 07:19 |
| tellerius | bye | 07:19 |

| EagleScreen | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:43 |
| genii | It should be sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | anoneemouse, sorry try : sudo dpkg-reconfigure libc-bin | 15:43 |
| anoneemouse | /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: libc-bin is broken or not fully installed | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | genii, libc-bin , that's apretty serious error , right ? | 15:44 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Yes | 15:45 |
| anoneemouse | c library is important. | 15:45 |
| genii | anoneemouse: I recommend: sudo apt-get clean then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin | 15:46 |
| anoneemouse | you seem to know apt pretty well genii | 15:48 |
| anoneemouse | :) thanks for all the help | 15:49 |
| genii | anoneemouse: Thats what we're here for :) | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | so you are upgrading now , anoneemouse ? | 15:49 |
| anoneemouse | im going to try now BluesKaj | 15:49 |
| anoneemouse | it reinstalled libc now | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | genii, is the Man! :) | 15:49 |
| anoneemouse | yeah! | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | cool | 15:50 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Well, sometimes... other times my brain is just mushy | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | well genii , was glad i was here ..I learned some new and useful today | 15:51 |
| anoneemouse | the only disadvantage is that its going to download everything again :/ | 15:51 |
| stc | #irc.net | 15:52 |
| genii | anoneemouse: Yes, that is the down-side. What probably happened is the libc-bin download got broken but it kept trying to install from the partial file in the archived | 15:52 |
| anoneemouse | yeah that makes sense... because i kept getting ldconfig bus errors | 15:53 |
| anoneemouse | so my upgrade will finish in 8 hours :/ | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | anoneemouse, dialup ? | 15:57 |

| Squarc | Hey, what is the default workpath for programs used by the alt+F2 program starter? | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | anoneemouse, shouldn't take 8 hrs | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | Squarc, there is no default , most are in /usr/bin/ | 16:02 |
| Squarc | BluesKaj: ok but I mean.. for instance I start a item using alt+F2, and that item is in the menu... but in the menu editor I see it has no workpath.. then what is the workpath used? ~ ? | 16:03 |
| anoneemouse | blueskaj: =((1100 *1024) / 48)/60/60 | 16:03 |
| anoneemouse | 6 hours at full speed... im only getting max of 42 kbps | 16:04 |
| anoneemouse | :) | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | but you can also find them with dolphin or konqueror , by typing the path in the addressbar | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | Squarc, ok alt+f2 , then kdesudo konqueror /usr/bin/ , usually you'll find the executable in there or sometimes /user/sbin/ | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | oops /usr/sbin | 16:08 |
| jhutchins_lt | Couldn't get the system to come out of closed-the-lid suspend, had to power cycle it, then had to reboot to get wireless working. | 16:09 |
| jhutchins_lt | It starts previously open applications like konversation before it starts networking, which is pretty dumb. | 16:09 |
| Squarc | BluesKaj: srry thats not what I mean.. but I found out allready by creating myself a bash script that prints the workfolder's path,, thx anyway :) | 16:10 |
| jhutchins_lt | Is the bugreport app hidden somewhere in the menu, or does it need to be installed? | 16:10 |
| jhutchins_lt | HAH! Bugreport app is broken! | 16:11 |

| flootenkerp | Hi, could anyone help me with something about openoffice word processor? | 16:23 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | spanwave: You'll need to figure out what driver the system should be using for your chipset and generate an xorg.conf file that uses that. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details myself, I'm stuck at 1024x768. | 16:23 |
| flootenkerp | It keeps asking that I recover the file, then when I do, it says recovery failed, but still opens up the file | 16:24 |
| flootenkerp | It's strange, and I want to get rid of that. Any way how? | 16:24 |
| spanwave | jhutchins_lt_: how to find out the drivers | 16:24 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | :s sshd | 16:26 |
| flootenkerp | Could anyone help please? I'd appreciate it, I need openoffice to do my work and other things. | 16:27 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | spanwave: Not sure, google your chipset (lspci | grep -i vga to find chipset) | 16:27 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | !s sshd | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about s sshd | 16:27 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | sshd? | 16:27 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | !sshd | 16:27 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH. For setting up the SSH server, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html . Advanced SSH uses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced . For SSH client information, see !ssh . Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) | 16:27 |
| jhutchins_lt_ | Rusty with the bots. | 16:27 |
| flootenkerp | Sorry if I'm being a little impatient or pushy, but I really need to fix this error so I can get on with my work. | 16:29 |
| jhutchins_lt | These lock-ups are getting annoying. | 16:30 |
| jhutchins_lt | BluesKaj: Yes, I understand about restarting open apps, but it should start basic system services, like wifi, before it starts apps that need them like konversation. | 16:31 |
| flootenkerp | ? | 16:32 |
| jhutchins_lt | As it is, konversation spins through several attempts to start up waiting for the network connection. | 16:33 |
| jhutchins_lt | Any idea why apt-cache search wouldn't find openssh-server? | 16:33 |
| JontheEchidna | Konversation 1.3 will have network detection and not try to repeatedly connect when the network is down | 16:34 |
| flootenkerp | Could anyone help please? | 16:34 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: We're just fellow users here. If someone knows an answer they may speak up. If your original question has scrolled off screen, you can ask again in five minutes. Be patient. | 16:37 |
| flootenkerp | ok, sorry. It's just important for my work, so my patience is a little off | 16:37 |
| flootenkerp | I'm getting an error on openoffice word processor, it asks me to recover a file, and when I try to, it says it failed and opens the file up anyway. How would I get rid of this error? | 16:44 |
| jhutchins_lt | plasma is kde4, right? | 16:45 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: I had that with 6.something, what release are you using? | 16:45 |
| flootenkerp | Hm, I'm not sure | 16:46 |
| flootenkerp | I got it on ubuntu 9.4 | 16:46 |
| flootenkerp | I've searched it, but it tells me to delete some file, but the errors I've found were with openoffice on XP. | 16:47 |
| alexandre__ | oi tudo bem? | 16:48 |
| _abbenormal | has anyone used the nvidia bin on 9.10 | 16:48 |
| _abbenormal | is there a how2 for this out here | 16:48 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Why are you asking here of you're having errors on XP? | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | No | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | As in the errors I've found on google were for XP | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | Not linux | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | Which is why I came here | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | I'm running ubuntu 9.4 | 16:49 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Well, add linux to the search terms, and go ahead and look for the file they said to remove. | 16:49 |
| flootenkerp | I did, still found the same thing. | 16:50 |
| jhutchins_lt | I do not like the fact that there's no loading feedback on firefox wih the default decorations. | 16:50 |
| flootenkerp | What did you do to fix that error on yours jhutchins_It? | 16:52 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Stopped usng the computer that had kubuntu on it and used a different distro for two years. | 16:53 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Not very helpful in your situation, but I would definitely consider upgrading. | 16:53 |
| flootenkerp | Is there any other word processor for linux similar to microsoft word? And also, in case I consider upgrading, is Kubuntu hard to use? I'm new to linux, so I want to start with easy stuff | 16:54 |
| anoneemouse | flootenkerp: depends on how you want to use your computer | 16:55 |
| Vroomfondle | flootenkerp: KOffice | 16:55 |
| flootenkerp | Well, what do you mean specifically? And thanks Vroom | 16:56 |
| genii | flootenkerp: For new users, Abiword is easiest to learn. But there is also the KOffice as mentioned, also OpenOffice | 16:56 |
| anoneemouse | well... i for instance browse the web, email, music production, occasional photoshop | 16:56 |
| anoneemouse | open office will be your best bet for now... kword is not nearly mature for normal use | 16:57 |
| flootenkerp | Why? | 16:57 |
| anoneemouse | why to which question flootenkerp? | 16:58 |
| flootenkerp | Why is it not mature? | 16:58 |
| anoneemouse | they are in the process of revamping it | 16:58 |
| Vlado9A3CY | flootenkerp: the best would be if you try it yourself | 16:58 |
| flootenkerp | So, try koffice? | 16:58 |
| Vlado9A3CY | whatever you like flootenkerp | 16:59 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Linux software is a public process with many developers contributing. Some projects get lots of attention and progress, others don't. Because openoffice is the office suite everybody knows about, and because it gets some corporate support, it's had more work done. | 16:59 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: The first thing I would do is try upgrading to 9.10 and see if maybe your problem goes away. | 17:00 |
| flootenkerp | I've been told by some people I know that 9.10 screwed up their computer. You sure it's safe? And what is updated in 9.10? | 17:00 |
| ghostcube | flootenkerp: hmm depends on youre pc and configuration | 17:02 |
| ghostcube | but yes there are some problems in the wild with karmic | 17:02 |
| Vlado9A3CY | flootenkerp: my laptop works just fine with ubuntu & kubuntu 9.10 | 17:02 |
| F4wltytowers | How do I get media keys and media buttons (on both mouse and keyboard) working in 9.10? | 17:03 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Well of course you would make a backup so you could restore what you have now if something goes wrong. | 17:03 |
| jhutchins_lt | ubottu: tell F4wltytowers about hotkeys | 17:03 |
| ubottu | F4wltytowers, please see my private message | 17:03 |
| flootenkerp | Well, yeah, but upgrading seems like a drag. I've had to reinstall ubuntu 5 times from constant screwups of mine. | 17:03 |
| klebezettel | hello | 17:03 |
| Vlado9A3CY | klebezettel: hello | 17:04 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: You should look into making a bootable backup DVD for fast recovery, or a disk image with something like clonezilla for fast restores. | 17:04 |
| F4wltytowers | jhutchins_lt: That does not and cannot work for me | 17:04 |
| klebezettel | where is the bugtracker for _kubuntu_? bugs.launchpad.net? how to show only kubuntu related stuff? | 17:04 |
| maco | i dont think you can | 17:04 |
| jhutchins_lt | klebezettel: Select the right package, it's all one system. | 17:04 |
| F4wltytowers | I cannot set up media buttons on the mouse | 17:04 |
| Pici | klebezettel: There is no distiction between bugs for Kubuntu and bugs for Ubuntu, since they use the same repositories. | 17:04 |
| F4wltytowers | And I want media keys to work system wide | 17:05 |
| maco | i probably wouldve tried searching for k* back when kde named everything with a k | 17:05 |
| flootenkerp | okay. I'll keep that in mind, thanks jhutchins | 17:05 |
| F4wltytowers | That dialog will NOT work for me | 17:05 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: Then you'll have to find something else. | 17:05 |
| F4wltytowers | jhutchins_lt: Like what? | 17:05 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: Mouse buttons have traditionally been configured in xorg.conf, but we don't have one by default any more. | 17:06 |
| F4wltytowers | So now what? | 17:06 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: I would suggest you do some searching on "linux" and whatever make and model mouse you have. | 17:06 |
| F4wltytowers | The only results I get are for xorg.conf | 17:06 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: We only know what we've either experienced ourselves or what we've discussed. We don't have your mouse and don't know what you're trying to do with it. | 17:06 |
| F4wltytowers | If I hadn't searched I wouldn't be in here. | 17:06 |
| Pici | xorg will still honor additions made to xorg.conf if they are there. | 17:06 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: We're just fellow users. | 17:06 |
| F4wltytowers | It's a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000. | 17:06 |
| flootenkerp | Now, there's also one last issue. Sometimes ubuntu would freeze up leaving only my mouse to move. It's random, and I'm not sure of the issue. Anyone have an idea of what it could be? | 17:07 |
| jhutchins_lt | F4wltytowers: Mine's a touchpad on a toshiba laptop, or an old full-size four button trackball. | 17:07 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Can't click on anything or use the keyboard? | 17:07 |
| flootenkerp | Nope | 17:07 |
| jwx | hi, what is the preferred way to connect to vpn pptp with kubuntu 9.10 ? | 17:07 |
| flootenkerp | just move the mouse. | 17:07 |
| jhutchins_lt | Same thing is happening here. I've just enabled sshd so that I can see if I can connect when it's locked up. Only solution so far has been power cycle. | 17:08 |
| flootenkerp | I've also noticed my computer heats up faster then usual. I think it might be compiz, but I'm not to sure. | 17:08 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: It seemed to happen more often when I had effects enabled. It also seems like konqueror may be involved, but the last thing that locked it up was the bugreport app. | 17:08 |
| flootenkerp | Yeah, I have atlantis enabled | 17:09 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Yes, compiz or kde effects will cause greater processor use and faster heating. | 17:09 |
| flootenkerp | Hm, okay. I guess I'll use less effects. Wish there was a way around it though. | 17:09 |
| jhutchins_lt | I haven't opened a bugreport yet because I don't know what package to report against. | 17:10 |
| genii | jhutchins_lt: I had to remove apport because it was itself causing a prob | 17:11 |
| flootenkerp | Also, one last question before I go. What's the terminal command to install atlantis2? Or is there more to it? I've searched it, but I never seemed to get it to work.. | 17:11 |
| jhutchins_lt | genii: If you did that and the problem went away, did you file a bugreport? | 17:11 |
| genii | jhutchins_lt: It did solve the prob... but no bug report, sorry | 17:12 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Package install is sudo aptitude install <package>, but I don't know anything specific to atlantis. | 17:12 |
| jhutchins_lt | genii: Go! Go! Report the bug! It's clearly a bug with apport because it went away when you removed it! | 17:12 |
| flootenkerp | k, I guess I'll try and find it again. | 17:13 |
| jhutchins_lt | How can it be fixed if it isn't reported!? | 17:13 |
| flootenkerp | Thanks for all the help guys. | 17:13 |
| jhutchins_lt | flootenkerp: Try doing a distribution upgrade. | 17:13 |
| flootenkerp | How? | 17:13 |
| jhutchins_lt | ubottu: tell flootenkerp about upgrade | 17:13 |
| ubottu | flootenkerp, please see my private message | 17:13 |

| jhutchins_lt | zoiss: Find the web page maintainer and beat him untill he corrects the errors. | 17:28 |
| zoiss | :] | 17:28 |
| zoiss | ok, so not a problem of missing libraries or something | 17:29 |

| zoiss | ok thank you | 17:29 |
| jhutchins_lt | Has some bad html code too. | 17:29 |
| zoiss | should change my sports page:] | 17:29 |

| jhutchins | These lockups are getting OLD. | 19:06 |
| McNuggz | does anyone but me have problems with samba-sharing in kubuntu 9.10? | 19:09 |
| fernando_ | I miss shares-admin... | 19:10 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Anyone know offhand where I can find which version of Kubuntu I'm running? I forgot when I installed this and can't find it now. | 19:12 |
| Mamarok | FroggyTheGreat: which KDE do you have? | 19:14 |
| Mamarok | in any app: help menu -> about KDE | 19:14 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Right, that's the KDE version, I want the overall distro version. | 19:14 |
| Mamarok | well, I can probably tell you by KDE version, if you didn't add any special repos | 19:15 |
| FroggyTheGreat | I've got KDE 3.5.10. | 19:15 |
| Mamarok | then it is 8.04 most likely | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | FroggyTheGreat, lsb_release -a | 19:16 |
| FroggyTheGreat | And of course I find that myself as soon as I've asked and looked like a fool. | 19:16 |
| Mamarok | BluesKaj: thx, forgot that | 19:16 |
| FroggyTheGreat | ok, lsb_release -a | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | FroggyTheGreat, Mamarok we all forget sometimes :) | 19:17 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Does anyone know why Firefox 3.5 is not in the repositories for that version? | 19:17 |
| Mamarok | FroggyTheGreat: because it is too old? | 19:17 |
| jhutchins | FroggyTheGreat: It has some bugs that have kept it from being packaged by several distros. | 19:18 |
| Mamarok | FroggyTheGreat: it's unlikely you get a backport to that version anymore, especially not for KDE | 19:18 |
| jhutchins | Mamarok: Wait, what? I thought 3.5 was the latest. | 19:18 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Oy. ok. | 19:19 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Looks like my long-postponed distro update has to happen then. | 19:19 |
| jhutchins | Mamarok: 3.5.5 is the latest. | 19:19 |
| FroggyTheGreat | 3.5.5 would be nice... | 19:20 |
| Mamarok | jhutchins: he is on a too old Kubuntu | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | FF3.5 is supposedly the default on karmic | 19:20 |
| Mamarok | jhutchins: also, I was not talking Firefox version at all, but KDE version | 19:20 |
| jhutchins | !v firefox | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about v firefox | 19:21 |
| jhutchins | Dang, can't remember how to use firefox. | 19:21 |
| Mamarok | jhutchins: in a konsole: aptitude show firefox-3.5 | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | !firefox -v | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox -v | 19:21 |
| jhutchins | Er. the bot rather. | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | !firefox | 19:21 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 | 19:21 |

| davidjheinrich | (the modem was working fine) | 20:00 |
| Tm_T | davidjheinrich: I don't think you can get much support from Canonical until you have support contract | 20:00 |
| davidjheinrich | yea, I know, but I'd purchase it if I needed it...i.e., couldn't get internet | 20:01 |
| davidjheinrich | so if I have that problem again, I can call up, purchase support, then use it | 20:01 |
| === xdoe is now known as delusion | ||
| Tm_T | davidjheinrich: I wonder if ubuntu.com and/or canonical.com has the information | 20:02 |

| amgarchIn9 | I am afraid it is buried somewhre in Upstart configs, but I am not really famiiar with that. | 20:09 |
| amgarchIn9 | when both gdm and kdm are competing for display ubuntu ends up in a propmpt to reconfigure graphics. "Low graphics mode" prompt if you ever seem that. | 20:11 |

| michael | hi. i am desperate. my kubuntu upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 seems to have gone wrong. i am on a thinkpad x60, and graphics are insufferably slow. does anyone have suggestions what to try? | 20:15 |
| amgarchIn9 | Tm_T: a nervous kind | 20:15 |
| Tm_T | amgarchIn9: I know, just humours me still | 20:15 |

| Tm_T | xdoe: problems? just tell what and if someone can help, they will | 20:16 |
| xdoe | ok Tm_T, thkx... im in trouble to understand the command thing.... because i try to install rpms but i cant | 20:17 |
| amgarchIn9 | rpms are not for uuntu anyway, xdoe. Search for *.deb files | 20:19 |
| xdoe | it means there is no way to use them? :S | 20:19 |
| amgarchIn9 | not on ubuntu | 20:20 |
| xdoe | ... | 20:20 |
| xdoe | thank you amgarchinln9 | 20:20 |
| v | there is a way to install rpm's | 20:20 |
| xdoe | ?? | 20:20 |
| xdoe | i've been looking | 20:21 |
| v | i can't recall the name of the program by there is one to make a .deb out of an .rpm | 20:21 |
| Shaxor | Hello I can't seem to get Banshee to work, when I try to play a song in banshee it doesn't play and a red x pops up on the left side of the song name but it plays just fine in amarok, And I've tried to use both mp3 and oggs but none work. is there a fix for this? | 20:21 |
| xdoe | rpm -i package.rpm.. i tried it | 20:21 |
| xdoe | nothing | 20:21 |
| amgarchIn9 | v: he is new to linux, I dont think he should be doing this | 20:21 |
| xdoe | i love challenges amgarchln9 | 20:22 |
| xdoe | ;) | 20:22 |
| michael | ok. it looks like i have kernel 2.6.28-11 installed. and i dont see how to install the right graphics drivers? feels kind of stupid, since i did think i wasnt a complete newbi / idiot | 20:22 |
| v | @xdoe http://finebushpeople.net/LexmarkZ600 | 20:23 |
| v | this is for installing a printer driver that's only in .rpm form | 20:23 |
| v | but it's all the same | 20:24 |
| v | it instructs on how to make a .deb out of an .rpm package | 20:24 |
| xdoe | v, i read about it before... and i tried as well but alien is missing... i did sudo to get it... but nothing | 20:25 |
| v | ok, why not install alien from KPackagekit like a human being? | 20:26 |
| v | i mean i also like to tinker with the konsole, but there is a working graphical tool for this | 20:27 |
| xdoe | lol | 20:27 |
| v | and by the way to install alien from terninal you need to "sudo apt-get install alien" | 20:27 |
| DarkriftX | not everyone needs a graphical tool | 20:27 |
| DarkriftX | sometimes command line is better and faster | 20:28 |
| AgentX | I am trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on my desktop. The issue I am having is that the installer does not recognize my Seagate 500GB HDD (ST3500320AS). I have updated the firmware on the drive. Other (smaller) drives do show using the same BIOS settings. Any ideas? | 20:28 |
| v | truth | 20:28 |
| xdoe | i did it | 20:28 |
| DarkriftX | i prefer apt-get to install stuff over a gui | 20:28 |
| Shaxor | Hello I can't seem to get Banshee to work, when I try to play a song in banshee it doesn't play and a red x pops up on the left side of the song name but it plays just fine in amarok, And I've tried to use both mp3 and oggs but none work. is there a fix for this? | 20:29 |
| xdoe | my ubuntu sometimes do not let me do things | 20:29 |
| xdoe | now it worked | 20:30 |
| admin1 | 33 | 20:30 |
| v | amarok uses different set of codecs from banshee | 20:30 |
| v | you need to install gstreamer | 20:31 |
| Shaxor | Ahh Okay thank you | 20:31 |
| v | you're all welcome | 20:31 |
| xdoe | what is the best advice you guys could give to "us" newbies? | 20:32 |
| v | jfgi | 20:32 |
| xdoe | v, alien its installed :P thanks | 20:32 |
| xdoe | i got it v | 20:32 |
| v | you must be a happy little fellar right now | 20:32 |
| v | :D | 20:33 |
| xdoe | o0lo | 20:33 |
| xdoe | i try to | 20:33 |
| v | ok, you guys, see you around | 20:34 |
| genii | xdoe: The best advice for linux new users is to learn how to use manpages | 20:34 |
| xdoe | mainpages? | 20:35 |
| xdoe | this is not my first try on linux world... but i got sick of windows and crash thing from nothing | 20:36 |
| xdoe | now i want to discover the magic world of linux | 20:36 |
| michael | any thoughts on how to get graphics functioning properly? following my (apparently incomplete???) attempt to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 i seem to be stuck with extremely slow graphics. it takes several seconds to switch windows, or for the kickoff application launcher menu to show up on screen | 20:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest83333 | ||
| genii | xdoe: manpages, nor mainpages. They are the Manuals for whichever command you are trying to understand | 20:37 |
| genii | !man | 20:38 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or type man:/ in Konqueror's location bar. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:38 |

| genii | michael: Is it Intel graphics? | 20:39 |
| michael | i *think* so. how do i make certain? | 20:40 |
| genii | michael: lspci | grep VGA should say | 20:40 |
| genii | michael: (from inside Konsole) | 20:41 |
| genii | michael: Please don't /msg me, i assist only in public channel unless sensitive info is involved. Yes, that result is Intel | 20:42 |
| genii | !intel | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 20:42 |

| _motti_ | hi guys. I'm using the new kubuntu on my machine. How do I install the java plugin for firefox? the auto install doesn't work | 20:45 |
| genii | _motti_: When it comes up with the license agreement screen, are you using Tab key to switch fields and Enter key to select? Or trying with the mouse | 20:46 |
| michael | OK. Did what was written on that page. Diagnosis: /dev/dri/card0 is missing, the suggested steps seem to have no impact. Rendering is "Software Rasterizer". Checking var/log/Xorg.0.log shows | 20:52 |

| michael | alright, replacing jaunty with karmic works, these repos exist. however (from the webpage you referred me to), it says that "you need to execute the fixmtrr.sh script each time X (re)starts. Therefore, executing this script in your rc.local script is not sufficient."? | 21:27 |
| genii | michael: You can also put the script then in an .xinitrc or .xsession file in your home dir | 21:27 |

| Assok | i have a gui only when i try console login and type startx command | 21:38 |
| Assok | how can i make it this default | 21:38 |
| genii | Assok: The most common cause of that problem is that files in the /home/username directory got screwed up permissions by for instance running something there as root | 21:38 |
| genii | (X dumping you back to login) | 21:39 |
| Assok | yes | 21:39 |
| Assok | taht happens | 21:39 |
| Assok | x restarts when i try to login | 21:39 |
| genii | Assok: So if your username is for instance "joe" to do: sudo chown -R joe:joe /home/joe | 21:40 |
| Assok | i have done | 21:40 |
| Assok | sudo chmod 777 to folder inside my /home/joe | 21:40 |
| Assok | lets say | 21:40 |
| gorgonizer_ | MTGap: in yakuake, right click on the background and choose Edit Current Profile.. | 21:41 |
| MTGap | sweet thanks | 21:42 |
| gorgonizer_ | Go to the Appearance tab, then select the colour scheme you want, then click the Edit button.. | 21:42 |

| adam | hi can anyone help me with kubuntu 9.10 install please | 22:15 |
| vitamin-carrot | what up adam? | 22:16 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| adam | im currently running 9.04 kubuntu dual booting with windows 7, but wanted to upgrade to the latest version 9.10 but although the upgrade via apt-get does complete when rebooting and getting into the os the trackpad doesnt work, it doesnt recognise my wifi onboard card although never had any probs with previous versions | 22:17 |
| Shaxor | Hay There, Okay strate to the point, I have been trying to get Banshee to work, and some one told me i have to install gstreamer, How do i go about installing Gstreamer on Kubuntu 9.10, I tried using apt-get but i get nothing, is there a better way? | 22:19 |
| vitamin-carrot | i think there is a known issue with knetworkmanager and wifi cards | 22:19 |
| adam | also, i wiped the kubuntu partition and attempted a clean install but once the cd spins up and runs the splash screen i choose a language and then choose run live version but it just freezes | 22:20 |
| TheGentleman | Hello. Running Kubuntu Karmic from a live CD, how can I access the hard disk of the computer? | 22:20 |
| adam | and ive tried every variation of the f6 options and also the graphic safe mode but nothing i do will allow me to install it | 22:20 |
| adam | TheGentleman you will need to mount the hard disk | 22:21 |
| adam | make a folder ie Install in a location you know such as the desktop | 22:21 |
| adam | then | 22:21 |
| adam | do "mount install/ /dev/sda1 | 22:21 |
| Shaxor | adam are you trying to install it from a cd? | 22:22 |
| TheGentleman | why the folder adam ? | 22:22 |
| Shaxor | I had the same problem, but when i redownloaded the iso and burned a new Live CD it worked just fine | 22:22 |
| adam | basically the folder acts as a location for you to view the files | 22:22 |
| adam | so that when you cd to install/ you will be able to view the hard disk rather than just the live cd | 22:23 |
| TheGentleman | aren't HD normally mountad in /mnt or /media ? | 22:23 |
| adam | if you run fdisk -l and look at the disk partitions you should see which one you need to mount mine was /dev/sda5 | 22:23 |
| adam | it doesnt matter where you mount it you can mount them anywhere | 22:24 |
| TheGentleman | ok, thanks | 22:24 |
| nightwlkr | hellow am having a problem regarding screen resolution using a crt screen on an nvidia geforce vga | 22:25 |
| adam | shaxtor ive tried the upgrade option and that completes but fails to allow me to use my wifi or my trackpad, i thought it may have missed something during the upgrade so tried a clean install but thats even worse it doesnt load anything after choosing the language | 22:25 |
| adam | ive also just tried installing it in virtualbox to see if it gets any further but it doesnt it gets to the same point and then dies | 22:26 |
| adam | also the kubuntu load bar is in two pieces one in the middle as normal and one part at the bottom of the screen | 22:26 |

| nightwlkr | any1 able to help me with my screen problem? | 22:30 |
| Michiduta | nightwlkr : what is your problem? | 22:31 |
| nightwlkr | Michiduta: i changed my screen to a 19" crt now my max resolution is 640x480 | 22:32 |
| nightwlkr | was running very good previously on my 19" wide lcd screen | 22:32 |
| Michiduta | Maybe you need to install some drivers for that monitor | 22:33 |
| Michiduta | Check to see if you have any hardware configuration issues | 22:33 |
| Michiduta | What operating system are you on? | 22:34 |
| nightwlkr | my vga is nvidea geforce fx 5500 vga was running fine with driver installed | 22:34 |
| nightwlkr | there r no new drivers detected that need to b activated | 22:34 |
| Michiduta | Did you recently update your drivers? | 22:35 |
| nightwlkr | and am running kubuntu 9.04 | 22:35 |
| nightwlkr | no i just changed monitor | 22:35 |
| Michiduta | It is known that newer versions of drivers are incompatible with older graphics card | 22:35 |
| Michiduta | You should switch to 9.10 | 22:36 |
| nightwlkr | well the graphic card is fine..my desktop effects r still on | 22:36 |
| Michiduta | I also had some screen issues while ussing 9.04 | 22:36 |
| nightwlkr | ya well 9.10 is 700mb | 22:36 |
| Michiduta | Use the automatic updater | 22:36 |
| nightwlkr | to download that with my connection that's like a month :P | 22:36 |
| Michiduta | To download the updated packages | 22:37 |
| nightwlkr | that's what the auto updater says... needs to download 715mb of data for a full upgrade | 22:37 |
| Michiduta | What's your connection speed? Mine is 200 kb/s download and it took somewhere between 3 and 6 hours to download and install | 22:37 |
| adam | wow what speed broadband are you using | 22:38 |
| Michiduta | :)) | 22:38 |

| nightwlkr | adam what's ur problem? i went through alot during installation | 22:40 |
| Michiduta | kubuntu install issues? that's a first | 22:40 |
| Michiduta | Did you try the kubuntu forum? | 22:40 |
| theoneandonlynic | hello there | 22:41 |
| nightwlkr | adam from what i read above u'r computer freezing during installation after choosing language | 22:41 |
| Michiduta | That's the ideal place to get help as the developers themselves also browse the forum and are usually more suited to deal with any issues realted to Kubuntu | 22:41 |
| Michiduta | related* | 22:42 |
| adam | nightwlkr yeah thats the one | 22:42 |
| nightwlkr | adam just for the sake of trying..did u try no acpi and all that options disabled ? | 22:42 |
| slow-motion | re | 22:42 |
| adam | Michiduta this is the kubuntu part of the irc | 22:42 |
| nightwlkr | i had such issues | 22:42 |
| adam | i tried all the variations in the f6 part yeah | 22:43 |
| Michiduta | Yes i know but the messages aren't stored anywhere and thos that are not currently online cannot see your issue can they? | 22:43 |
| adam | i know but ive already posted a message on the forum | 22:44 |
| Michiduta | Well then why didn't you say so in the first place :P | 22:44 |
| adam | and raised a fault ticket with trackpad online but they want more debug info to assist but i cant do that as i need this laptop working for work so ive reverted back to 9.04 as my laptop is a must | 22:44 |
| Michiduta | so you're sayint that if you do a fresh install it freezes? | 22:45 |
| Michiduta | how about an upgrade? | 22:46 |
| Michiduta | saying* | 22:46 |
| adam | upgrade kills my trackpad and wifi after reboot and laptop goes extremely slow | 22:46 |
| Michiduta | :| | 22:46 |
| adam | its not my laptop as its an extremely good spec and only 6 months old and is currently dual booting with windows 7 and kubuntu 9.04 | 22:47 |

| Guest20915 | how do i install screensavers on kubuntu 9.10? | 22:47 |
| Michiduta | Maybe it's too young for the developers to have made good driver support for it | 22:48 |
| Michiduta | Although it's weird | 22:48 |
| Michiduta | That 9.04 works | 22:48 |
| adam | i originally used 8.10 then upgraded to 9.04 and no problems ever for those other versions | 22:48 |
| === Guest20915 is now known as anthony | ||
| Michiduta | 9.04 gave me some weird screen issues | 22:49 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest57755 | ||
| Michiduta | My monitor would sometimes draw colored lines all over my screen and freeze | 22:49 |
| Guest57755 | how do i install screensavers on kubuntu 9.19 | 22:49 |
| nightwlkr | Michiduta: if u take my oppinion i used 7.04 version of kubuntu some time agp..with kde 3 it was way better | 22:49 |
| adam | anthony / guest57755 stop swapping its radiculously annoying | 22:49 |
| Michiduta | Well this new version of kde brought a lot of changes and a lot of bugs still remain | 22:50 |
| Guest57755 | idk how to stay on anthony... | 22:50 |
| Guest57755 | it keeps switching me | 22:50 |
| Michiduta | But in time they will be fixed if they will be reported | 22:50 |
| adam | I know but not meaning to sound stupid but no one in their right mind releases an OS that has so many bugs | 22:50 |
| Guest57755 | can u answer my question please? | 22:51 |
| nightwlkr | honestly am confused howcome so many ppl work on this and support it ..but at the same time keep it free :P | 22:51 |
| adam | Michiduta i wanted to originally install ubuntu but that wouldnt install on my laptop so had to opt for kubuntu and im glad i did but ubuntu still doesnt work even after 2 more version releases | 22:51 |
| Guest57755 | adam: can u tell me how to install screensavers on ubuntu 9.10 | 22:52 |
| Michiduta | Guest... ubuntu or kubuntu? | 22:52 |
| Guest57755 | kubuntu | 22:52 |
| Michiduta | just a sec | 22:53 |
| adam | not sure i just use the default hold on ill have a look | 22:53 |
| noaXess | are there any nfs gui tools? | 22:54 |
| lpadilla | hi there | 22:54 |
| Michiduta | open kpackagekit | 22:55 |
| adam | there is a package called kscreensaver-xsavers | 22:55 |
| adam | do apt-get install kscreensaver-xsavers and there are loads of screensavers included | 22:55 |
| Guest57755 | kk ty | 22:55 |
| Guest57755 | umm this is weird. | 22:56 |
| adam | what | 22:56 |
| Guest57755 | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 22:56 |
| Guest57755 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 22:56 |
| Michiduta | use sudo before apt-get | 22:56 |
| Guest57755 | thats what it said | 22:56 |
| Michiduta | sudo apt-get install kscreensaver-xsavers | 22:56 |
| adam | haha sorry i thought you would know that | 22:56 |
| adam | anytime you want to install or run a program as root (administrator) you must put sudo | 22:57 |
| adam | either that or type "su -" and then press enter and enter your root password | 22:57 |
| Guest57755 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. now it said this | 22:57 |
| Michiduta | just copy paste that command | 22:58 |
| nightwlkr | adam if he didn't know sudo i doubt he knows his root pass | 22:58 |
| nightwlkr | :P | 22:58 |
| Guest57755 | i did | 22:58 |
| adam | what app manager are you using? | 22:58 |
| adam | this is true lol | 22:58 |
| nightwlkr | i don't know what it is in default for root but i always change it..though i donno if it's such a good idea | 22:58 |
| Guest57755 | aight i got it workin now. | 22:58 |
| Guest57755 | and yes i did know the sudo thing just didnt see he did not type it | 22:59 |
| Michiduta | the root password is the one you use when first creating a user account during install | 22:59 |
| adam | lol sorry dude | 22:59 |
| nightwlkr | Michiduta: that's not the case for a root account | 22:59 |
| Michiduta | ? | 23:00 |
| adam | Michiduta what isnt the case? | 23:00 |
| nightwlkr | when u write su in terminal it tries to login as root and asks for root pass | 23:00 |
| adam | yes | 23:00 |
| Michiduta | and the root pass is the one you use to login :) | 23:00 |
| nightwlkr | no man | 23:00 |
| adam | no | 23:00 |
| Michiduta | at least for me it is | 23:00 |
| Michiduta | :P | 23:00 |
| adam | you should never login as root | 23:01 |
| nightwlkr | u have root, and u have the account u created during install | 23:01 |
| nightwlkr | has root priviledges yes but that's not the ROOT account | 23:01 |
| Michiduta | refresh my memory... when do you set your root pass? | 23:01 |
| adam | root has full control of everything if you login as root your risking doing something by accident and screwing up your os | 23:01 |
| nightwlkr | u don't | 23:01 |
| Michiduta | Well i wasn't referring as login as root | 23:02 |
| nightwlkr | unless u go to account manager and set a pass for root | 23:02 |
| Michiduta | only using your own login password to use the sudo command | 23:02 |
| adam | if you use "sudo" before any command and put your own account password it will give you root privillages temporarily | 23:02 |
| nightwlkr | su logs u in as root | 23:02 |
| Michiduta | yes adam that';s what i meant | 23:02 |
| nightwlkr | Michiduta: lets say ur username is x when u created it during setup | 23:03 |
| Michiduta | It gives you root privileges for 15 min by default | 23:03 |
| nightwlkr | run a terminal and type su and set the pass u have on ur account | 23:03 |
| Michiduta | ok... | 23:03 |
| nightwlkr | unless u have set "root" pass to the same it will give u authentication failure | 23:04 |
| nightwlkr | Password: | 23:04 |
| nightwlkr | su: Authentication failure | 23:04 |
| adam | although its not a good idea to change your root password you can by doing "sudo passwd root" and it will let you change it but its not a good idea | 23:05 |
| Michiduta | So that means i was right? The login password is used as a root password | 23:05 |
| nightwlkr | used to give u root privileges yes, but not as root pass | 23:06 |
| nightwlkr | adam: why's that a bad idea? | 23:06 |
| adam | for novices | 23:07 |
| Michiduta | Oh well i never intend to use full root privileges as i do not know a lot about how the commands work and it would be a darn shame to mess it up | 23:07 |
| adam | i wouldnt recommend changing it its much better to get in the practice of sudo | 23:07 |

| Guest83333 | ok esta bien | 23:16 |
| Guest83333 | de donde son ustedes | 23:17 |
| nightwlkr | ibou: that's identifying ur driver for ur cdrom | 23:17 |
| nightwlkr | /dev/sr0 is ur cdrom device | 23:17 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: brw-rw-rw--+1 ?? | 23:17 |
| Michiduta | Yo soy de Sibiu, Rumanía. | 23:18 |
| nightwlkr | i donno what b stands for rw is read write | 23:18 |
| Michiduta | ¿Y tú? | 23:19 |
| jpedroza | Hi, I installed wicd and love it, but it doesn't seem to support broadband cards. Is that correct? Can someone recommend a replacement that works with wpa2 and broadband cards? | 23:19 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: so those are the prermissions for my cdrom device... how about root cdrom 11 ? | 23:19 |
| salpta | I have an app that we use on both sides of a dual-boot. sda is windows and sdb is kubuntu. I'd like the database to be common to both but it doesnt like going across the symbolic link to the windows partition. I was hoping there was a way to force a hardlink to the database on the windows disk. | 23:19 |
| Guest83333 | caracas venezuela | 23:20 |
| nightwlkr | root is the root user..like master admin :) | 23:20 |
| Michiduta | salpta first of all you have to keep your windows driver mounted at all times | 23:20 |
| nightwlkr | cdrom 11 no idea | 23:20 |
| Michiduta | not driver, disk | 23:20 |
| Michiduta | Sorry | 23:20 |
| salpta | =) I figured that. | 23:21 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: cdrom is a group i think | 23:21 |
| Michiduta | I believe that you need to somehow mount it at the same time as the system is booting | 23:21 |
| Michiduta | Just a thought | 23:21 |
| Michiduta | :P | 23:21 |
| nightwlkr | yes | 23:21 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: id like to move "root" to "user" for the permissiions of my cdrom. Do you know how ? | 23:22 |
| nightwlkr | but what's 11? :P | 23:22 |
| nightwlkr | u don't have to | 23:22 |
| Michiduta | cdrom is a group and the actual cdrom drive starts from cdrom0 | 23:22 |
| nightwlkr | root is for the main user who installed the driver..every device installed has root beside it | 23:22 |
| dylan_ | does anyone know what command to type in so that my resolv.conf file is not set back to default when i restart | 23:23 |
| salpta | Oh, it's already mounting with boot (through fstab) but last time I was playing with linux it was impossible to create a hardlink to another device, or to a folder. I was hoping that had changed? | 23:23 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: i dont how to but i have a permission problem with k3b which can't write so id like to try to move root to "ibou" | 23:23 |
| ibou | how = have | 23:24 |
| Michiduta | Oh ok salpta sorry i don't know that much about linux | 23:24 |
| nightwlkr | weird never had such issues with k3b | 23:24 |
| salpta | Well, thanks for trying, any help is good help. Is there anyone else in the room that may know if the folder/device restrictions on hardlinks still stand? | 23:25 |

| nightwlkr | ibou: can u c the cdrom drive inside k3b? | 23:27 |

| ibou | nightwlkr: no read only. I have only a burn and write device on my laptop | 23:30 |
| ibou | i can see it | 23:30 |
| jpedroza | ibou: knetworkmanager doesn't seem to like wpa2 | 23:30 |
| jpedroza | ibou: That should have been "AND" k networkmanager doesn't like wpa2 | 23:30 |
| ibou | jpedroza: i heard about that. Didnt know you couldnt use wicd with broadband wirteless cards... | 23:31 |
| nightwlkr | ibou: then it shouldn't have any issues if it's there | 23:31 |

| nightwlkr | ibou: why don't u try changing ur user to group root | 23:36 |
| nightwlkr | wouldn't that also fix the problem? | 23:36 |
| Michiduta | the one before last should be the one you need | 23:37 |
| Michiduta | gstreamer0.10-packagekit | 23:37 |
| Michiduta | it should select any additional packages required when you install it | 23:38 |
| Michiduta | tell me if all goes well Shaxor | 23:38 |

| nightwlkr | ibou: it worked? | 23:52 |
| Michiduta | Shaxor in that link it says about a certain bug within banshee and that it might require gstreamer but a different type of gstreamer based on what type of audio system you use | 23:53 |
| Michiduta | But if it works then you don't need to tinker with it anymore | 23:54 |
| Michiduta | :P | 23:54 |
| Shaxor | xD oh no more tinkering for me | 23:55 |
| Shaxor | as long as it works Im good | 23:55 |
| ibou | nightwlkr: no :s | 23:58 |
| nightwlkr | sorry ibou.. | 23:58 |
| nightwlkr | but i guess u can fix that with kuser manager | 23:58 |
| nightwlkr | u have to make ur user root somehow :P | 23:59 |
