[01:40] sorry... https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-boot/+archive/ppa === nevyn_ is now known as nevyn [01:45] hi [01:45] any good partitioning tool for ku? [01:45] hi [01:46] Hello... when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [01:46] i need to transfer free space from my second linux system [01:46] i just use partition manager [01:46] i have to download it? [01:46] gparted? [01:47] ????????/ [01:47] how do I get snow on my compiz in 9.10? [01:48] Does anyone know how to enable surround sound on a Realtek HD integrated sound chip? [01:48] john just go to the system settings.. then go to the effects part.. you'll find it there [01:49] Here i am again, NFS errors, when i try to open two shares through my guest computer, one folder works, the other folder does not. Both are on the same host, and "sudo mount 192.168.2.11:/host/path /guest/path" works for ONE and not the other... both are chmod'd to 777, and sharing is emabled [01:49] godlike: Gparted is nice [01:50] partitionmanager or gparted [01:50] is better? [01:50] berytodelrio sorry I'm using ubuntu not kubuntu [01:50] my panel change automically right to left / left to right after every restart/shutdown . i tired after fresh install and try update kde to 4.3.3 , what to do ? thanks [01:50] more functions less bugs more stable [01:50] ? [01:50] ok [01:51] Does anyone know how to enable surround sound on a Realtek HD integrated sound chip? I am using Ubuntu 9.10 [01:51] gparted or partitionmanager? [01:52] fu [01:52] godlike: i happen to use gparted, and have no reason to desire another product :) [01:52] BTW... that's not an advised means of getting help [01:53] what means? [01:53] " fu" [01:53] my panel change automically right to left / left to right after every restart/shutdown . i tired after fresh install and try update kde to 4.3.3 , what to do ? thanks [01:53] fu is a chinish gesture meaning thanks... [01:54] chinish?! [01:54] chinese [01:54] Does anyone know how to enable surround sound on a Realtek HD integrated sound chip? [01:54] it means luck in traditional translation [01:55] understanding that not everyone would get the reference... and saying "fu" in an open chat could mean something completely different, especially since you were not answered right away. just a caution. [01:55] but that's my opinion, gparted is a great prog [01:56] fu my friend [01:56] godlike and lorecaster i have idea , [01:56] shut up . [01:56] now, godlike, that is an example of unnecessary rudeness, the same thing that i had mistaken you for making. :) [01:57] yes indeed [01:57] thank you, trancex, for pin-pointing my perspective. [01:57] it's my hope that the Gods of karma will exact their will,... and i may have my NFS woes cleared away ;) [01:58] lorecaster: do you have any idea why i can install a new linux distro side by side to my old (have a dual boot) without deleting my whole disk, as happens in windows? === anthony is now known as Guest21500 [01:59] it's an option on the disk. [01:59] godlike: you can also install a Linux distro alongside Windblows w/o destroying data [01:59] is this cause of the linux, or of a tool like partition manager [01:59] so its a tool [01:59] during the install process, as you enter the area for partition managemnt... when you throw in the install disk and reboot... [02:00] why cant this be done with windows, and it takes over the entire hard disk? [02:00] begin the install, it'll give you three options... install in remaining space, install side-by-side, or use whole disk (destroy data on disk) [02:00] because windows is the devil. [02:00] hahaha [02:00] of course if you use automagic partitioning and have no clue what the partitioner does, you might end up w/ quite a surprise.. [02:00] it cant be done but you have to divide the disk from the start [02:00] -shivers- been there [02:01] painful memories, szal [02:01] :P [02:01] if you know your way around partitioning & prepare the disk beforehand, there's no surprises [02:01] except for PEBKAC, that is :P [02:01] in the case of computer tech... there is ALWAYS room for surprises. :P [02:02] hi guys [02:03] lorecaster: well, after all it's not black magic ;) [02:03] no, no, that's scary shit. i'm a wiccan high priest. [02:03] i've known necromancers... those creeps used windows too :o CORRELATION! [02:04] how can i resize my space for root? [02:04] godlike: use a live CD [02:04] ok [02:04] I have a linux partition magic boot-CD... it works very well. but the boot-CD also has a partion magic option [02:06] there are a couple of freely downloadable partition software that you could use in windows.. you could have just resized your windows partition before installing linux [02:06] guys kubuntu is nice [02:06] but fedora is more ahead [02:06] in most stuff [02:06] i will migrate [02:06] i prefer ubuntu gnome... it's much faster-running [02:06] I don't understand kbluetooth micro icon is in gray and doesn't start or let me configure it, i wanna pass some files, I need help guys I wanna use my Laptop Bluetooth [02:07] don't understand why* [02:07] never had experience there luis_, sorry. [02:07] someone more? [02:08] mine works fine... but then again.. im not on a laptop.. [02:08] i've got a MONSTER workstation (quad-core, 8gb ram, 2tb drive) and windows just couldn't handle it... i want to squeeze every iota of power out of it... gnome karmic koala is smexy [02:08] laptops often have proprietary drivers though. [02:09] you call to your computer monster ? lol [02:09] WOW quad core [02:09] it's the mightiest machine i've ever played with. [02:09] forgive us poor backwater newfies ;) [02:10] i have i7 , 1.5TB , 12 GB RAM DDR3 Triple Channel and SLI GTX260 So ? [02:10] not the norm [02:10] nor is mine. :) we both break the curve ;) [02:10] i read somewhere that there is a project timelord to make kde with kubuntu work better [02:10] i could not financially support 12gb ram, though i wish i could have [02:10] or integrate it or something like this [02:12] so [02:12] do they optimize kde? [02:16] hey sucker [02:16] trancex: fu and i dont mean luck [02:17] relax godlike... the longer you remain relaxed in the face of ignorance, the longer you retain the moral high-ground :) [02:17] it's the wiccan-way [02:18] we can? [02:18] remaining the picture of calm does two things, godlike, it both allows you to think rationally while the other person is upset... it also upsets them further. delicous! [02:19] what if i dont want them to be more upset? [02:19] I don't understand why kbluetooth micro icon is in gray and doesn't start or let me configure it, I wanna pass some files, I need help guys I wanna use my Laptop Bluetooth [02:19] there is not another IRC channel than can help me with my problem? [02:20] luis.. since you are using a laptop.. have you tried pressing the fn+bluetooth keys.. maybe its not turned on.. your supposed to have that light to signify that your bluetooth is on right [02:20] i've been trying to get NFS help for about a week... to no avail. sometimes, free help is not always easy to find :( hang in there though! you're (mostly) among friends. [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [02:22] r00t_ninja: been there, tried that. got that one bookmarked actually... i have two folders, with same permissions level, both set to sharing rw, one can mount, the other times out. [02:22] Hello... when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [02:22] nothing in the page for THAT :P [02:24] lorecaster: did you double-check for typos? [02:24] i cnp'd where i could, nothing seemed to work. [02:24] like i said, been at it for a week [02:27] isn't use of NFS in general discouraged due to unresolved bugs or something? [02:27] I am looking for the way to re-enable the ctrl+alt+backspace in Kubuntu, but all I can find on google is the Ubuntu instructions. [02:28] samba is no better. is there a third alternative? [02:28] luis were you able to get it working now? [02:28] lorecaster: what problems are you having with Samba? [02:28] fuck kubuntu [02:28] !dontzap | Werenerd [02:28] Werenerd: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [02:28] inapproprate language, if i may say so, maple1 [02:29] DELL, the client, could see DESKTOP, the host, but could not log-on... i was suggested NFS because my problems just snowballed with Samba [02:29] maple1: watch your language here [02:29] and no one would ever help me with it. [02:29] this is a kubuntu room, maple1, perhaps you should take your grievances elsewhere? [02:30] alt+sysrq+k is a new one on me. never heard that one before. [02:30] dontzap is still used? I thought that was only for 9.04 [02:31] alt+sysrq+k kills everything running on the VT [02:31] I love kubuntu [02:32] hmmm, I cannot find " dontzap " in the repo. === r00t_ninja is now known as r00t_ninj|a [02:32] Werenerd: interested in helping me sort out my samba woes? [02:33] lorecaster: what now? Samba or NFS? === r00t_ninj|a is now known as r00t_ninja [02:33] sorry, lost that message, [02:34] was i being addressed before i left and returned? [02:34] lorecaster: What are your woes? I have never had any problems with Samba, so I don't have much troubleshooting expierence. [02:34] [03:33:00] lorecaster: what now? Samba or NFS? [02:34] it was permissions errors... and yeah, i'm curious, if there is a third option between samba and NFS [02:35] lorecaster: Permission errors, I had a few of those. Were files that were uploaded to a share not inheriting parent permissions? === Furan is now known as Guest999 [02:36] wasn't sure at the time... i made /home/lorecaster/Desktop a share with RW and i made /media/STORAGE a share with rw [02:37] using samba, i could SEE the computer (also called desktop) but could not access it. said i did not have permissions... so i moved onto NFS [02:37] sshfs ftw [02:38] What were the OS'es of both machines. They only time I had that problem was with a windows machine [02:38] DESKTOP was ubuntu 9.10, while the client was windows XP... they're both ubuntu now [02:39] that sounds about right. Since they are both *buntu, you haven't had that same problem have you? [02:39] haven't used samba since [02:39] think i should? [02:40] tsimpson: that dontzap blurb is wrong. Do we need to tell someone? I found it finally [02:40] Werenerd: what's wrong with it? [02:40] lorecaster: oh yeah. It is so dead simple now. wait... you said Ubuntu not Kubuntu, right? [02:40] gnome, true [02:41] tsimpson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [02:41] tsimpson: it is now an option under keyboard layouts [02:42] on DELL (client) went into places and network (network:///) [02:42] lorecaster: I only have experience with KDE, but it has to be similar. All I do is make sure I have all the Samba stuff installed. Right click on the folders I want to share, and pick the options I want from the fancy GUI. [02:42] then into DESKTOP (server) [02:42] in smb://desktop/ i see deskto [02:42] desktop and storage [02:42] desktop opens fine, storage gives me an error [02:42] lorecaster: that sounds right [02:42] where is the STORAGE/ [02:42] ? [02:42] Werenerd: I'll get it fixed [02:42] unable to mount location, failed to mount windows share [02:43] storage is moutned at /media/STORAGE [02:43] on the server [02:43] it's not a windows share [02:43] tsimpson: thanks. [02:43] well, Samba is a windows share "technically" [02:44] So DESKTOP & STORAGE on on the same computer, just different folders? [02:44] lorecaster: did you chown /media/STORAGE to your user? [02:44] STORAGE is an entire 1.5gb disk... mounted at /media/STORAGE [02:44] yes [02:44] szal: darn it, I was building up to that! [02:44] users are identical... same UN and same PW... both have chmod 777 === garytang is now known as carlee [02:46] haven't chown'd the files... command-string if you please? [02:47] lorecaster: you using Nautilus? [02:47] I would assume so... it's the default for gnome karmic koala, yes? [02:47] plasma=panel ? [02:47] yes, but a lot of people really like pcfileman [02:47] it is what I used on GNOME 2 years ago. [02:47] i am using the default. have had no rason to change [02:48] lorecaster: when your stuff is mounted to /media/STORAGE -> chown -R yourUser:users /media/STORAGE [02:48] :| this is a FULL 1.5tb drive here... 8gb free [02:49] just out of curiosity, instead of smb://server/share try smb://username@server/share [02:49] :| that worked! [02:50] lorecaster: which thing? Mine or szal [02:51] szal worked fine [02:51] but it could have been a combination [02:52] OK then, then it was a permission based error and not a bug in nautilus. If szal's solution worked, it was most likely not chmod 777 [02:52] back in a second [02:52] Maybe you didn't use the recursive option? [02:52] perhaps not... but it works fine now [02:53] Can someone help me get nfs-kernel-server started? It won't start after a recent update [02:53] Werenerd: just curious.. are you a normal human being and only become a nerd at full moon? :D [02:53] back shortly [02:54] szal, that is pretty close to the root of my nick name. Back when I was a blackbox user, alot of the guys on the #bb4win were very socially inept. I had a lot of social engagements at the time and actually do well with people [02:54] They said I was like a werewolf, but a nerd. So werenerd I was thusly named [02:55] heheh [02:55] I Plus they didn't like my other handle, BigDaddy. They said it reminded them of homosexual innuendo. [02:55] I told them that not too many people call a 315lbs weight lift homo. [02:56] lift=lifter [02:59] bk [03:00] I am going to test my dual monitor setup and see if it sticks after a X restart. brb. [03:07] sweet. that was really ticking me off. Now all is better. [03:07] Werenerd: know how i can split a 22" wide screen into 2 regions? [03:08] you mean like two desktops on one screen? [03:08] yeah [03:08] never thought of trying that [03:08] never heard of anyone thinking of trying that either. [03:09] :P [03:09] i have 2 monitors... i want to split my 22" wide screen into two square monitors :P [03:09] What would be the application of this? [03:09] so you can simulate roughly a 3 monitor setup? [03:09] so i can effectively maximize and multitask to new levels... to run 'fullscreen' applications in half a screen [03:09] exactly :) [03:10] you do realize that 16:9/2 does not equal 4:3 [03:10] 8/9 i realize... nearly square [03:12] ewww... this has been done before. It required nesting x servers. ewww [03:13] the first ewww sold me :P [03:13] i'll pass then [03:13] what kind of fullscreen apps? [03:13] hey all... why does my SD card suddenly not identify teh filesystem when I use 'mount'?? [03:13] Also, when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [03:13] wine and dosbox games :D for example [03:15] Well with wine, you can set up the virtual desktop to be eactly half the screen and then manually size the other window [03:16] not exactly what you wanted, but it would work. The wine app would be in fullscreen mode [03:17] interestink [03:17] does anyone here run a FTP server? [03:18] i do [03:18] :) [03:18] ftp.zero-impact.ca [03:18] what can i do ya for? you['ve been so very helpful for me [03:18] What server do you run? ProFTP? [03:18] incidentally, i'm looking for a webmaster to build some webpages, insuch a way as i can maintain them... any takers, e-mail r.gosse@zero-impact.ca :D [03:19] it's a linux based server from www.justhost.com :D not sure what THEY run, but any FTP client can attach to it. unlimited space and bandwidth... what do you need Werenerd? [03:20] I have run ProFTP server for my family to grab picures, videos and just about anything they wanted from me. But the GUI frontend for ProFTP just isn't that great. I was hoping for something like Filezilla server for linux. Just no luck finding it [03:21] i used to use filezilla for linux... should be right in the repositories [03:21] it was for jaunty [03:21] just do the software center... and type in filezilla :D in koala [03:22] that is the client only. The FTP server is windows only [03:22] i see what you mean now... i run a dot-com with FTP on an off-site system... we are thinking of two different beasts [03:23] salut :) [03:29] hey all [03:30] why am I being asked for a password to log in when I didnt install one [03:30] thanks for all your help, crew :D bless you all [03:31] fresh install [03:31] Habano: I didn't know you could even leave the password field blank [03:32] * szal supposes that there is no way to go w/o a pwd [03:32] Habano: if you didn't enter one it's most probably a blank pwd -> just hit Return [03:32] tried that [03:32] ah damn ill redo it [03:35] Can i play digital tv through Dragon Player with a tv tuner? [03:38] anyone else notice that lancelot doesn't show other users logged in when trying to switch users? === carlee_ is now known as garytang === garytang is now known as carlee [04:05] Hey all... why does my SD card suddenly not identify teh filesystem when I use 'mount'?? Also, when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [04:09] Roey: (1) memory cards can go bad any time; check file system for corruption; (2) iirc, Skype still doesn't run natively on ALSA, instead using OSS, though not sure what role Pulseaudio plays at that point.. my guess is that Skype takes over the sound device (which most probably is not hardware-mixing-capable) completely [04:09] szal: I checked it in my camera and it's fine. [04:09] szal: Ahhh, so Skype has issues and it's their problem, not mine, got it. [04:10] szal: I tried 'aoss skype' to pipe OSS-based apps through ALSA and had the same problem [04:11] btw, I can mount my SD card fine but for some reason the System Notifications tray applet doesn't pick up on this... why not? [04:12] szal: I was trying to mount /dev/sdd instead of /dev/sdd1 (guess I was forgetful there ;) [04:12] szal: but KDE still does not pick up on the device insertion/removal, even though dmesg sees it fine. [04:13] * szal never had the system tray notification applet come up when mounting memory cards [04:14] so you stick your card in, and nothing happens? [04:14] that's what I'm observing here on my system. [04:14] I only tried to mount it manually through the command-line after I failed to see the notification in KDE after putting my SD card in. [04:14] Do I (the user) need to be a member of any particular group in /etc/group? [04:17] no, I stick the card in and the device plugging handler comes up notifying me of that [04:18] udev 147~-6.1 [04:18] I updated that today [04:19] udev 128 here (openSUSE 11.1) [04:20] http://pastebin.com/m385a7cb [04:21] szal: ok, and it worked for me just yesterday, before I did an upgrade of the files listed in the link above [04:22] tried downgrading again? [04:22] of which packages? [04:24] all udev-related [04:25] what'sthe command for that? and would it magically fix problems caused by the newer udev? i.e. does it reconfigure the package, etc. [04:43] hello === jacob_ is now known as Guest48700 [04:43] I have a problem which should be very simple, but that I can't figure out [04:44] my resolution is set at 800x600 [04:44] and I can't change it up or down because I can't figure out how to change my monitor [04:45] Guest: what is your graphics card? [04:45] its an intel [04:45] I know the problem [04:45] open a terminal and type [04:45] lspci | grep VGA [04:45] its that my monitor is not autodetected because I use a switch [04:45] and post the output here [04:45] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) [04:46] I know the problem - Kubuntu doesn't think my MONITOR can support any higher resolution [04:46] but I can't tell it it does because I can't find where to setup my monitor hardware [04:47] I recently reinstalled because of system problems, I had to do this once a long long time ago. (6.10 I think) [04:47] Guest48700: you need to restart the X server to detect teh monitor [04:47] first do this [04:47] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:47] tried it [04:47] wait [04:48] the monitor can NOT autodetect because of a graphic switch in the way that I use to switch between computers [04:48] that shouldnt matter [04:48] I don't know what to say - it does [04:48] my monitor is only supposed to do 1024 x 768 max [04:48] i've had the same problem before and manually setting the monitor was the only way to fix it. [04:49] but in 9.10 i can't find the way to manually set the monitor [04:49] try [04:49] cvt 1280 1024 [04:49] or whatever resolution [04:49] or try krandtray [04:49] krandtray is unhelpful [04:50] says 800x600 is the only resolution supported, and the way I used to SET THE MONITOR HARDWARE IS MISSING! [04:50] even the administrator mode button is gone [04:50] what about [04:51] xrandr --addmode VGA1 XxY_REFRESHRATE [04:51] and then [04:51] sorry, i'm frustrated as this should be a fairly simple operation and i've spent over an hour and a half [04:51] tried that too [04:51] xrandr -s 1280x1024 [04:51] or whatever resolution [04:51] but i will try again and post the output. [04:52] xrandr: cannot find mode "1024x768_60" [04:52] did you do the addmode first? [04:52] yes [04:52] mmm [04:52] you just update right? [04:52] *updated [04:52] i had to completely reinstall because my system was cluttered [04:53] make sure xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [04:53] ok [04:53] it is [04:54] when kubuntu was at 6.10 there used to be a setting in krandtray that allowed you to pick your monitor from a list. Is there any way to get to that list?
