Thanks :) [01:10] Does anyone know what the schedule is for the KDE 4.4 beta to be available in PPA (Karmic)? === glenn is now known as Guest27550 [01:57] !grub2 [01:57] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

WHy should I switch to Kubuntu from ubuntu [03:08] because it is kewl [03:08] uber kewl [03:08] ;) [03:08] would yer cuznt lie to you? [03:09] can someone help me install xammp? [03:09] !xammp [03:09] why do you want it? [03:09] the install directions say i have toi be the su but not sure how to do that [03:09] for shell scripting/cgi project for class [03:10] ah you need to open up a konsole [03:10] yeah [03:10] and use the install instructions but in kubuntu it is sudo no su [03:10] for root [03:11] my root folder is red [03:11] means not writable>?? [03:11] only as root [03:11] i dont think xammp works anymore [03:11] Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt: [03:11] tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.2.tar.gz -C /opt [03:12] prob need ubuntu [03:12] i think xammp might be broken [03:14] at least for kubuntu but dont take my word on it. [03:14] I just downloaded flashplayer and its just a .so file, how to install it? === orion is now known as Guest23648 [03:15] you can dl the flash installer on kpackage and it is easier [03:15] !flash [03:15] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:16] isn't kubuntu just ubuntu with kde instead of windows? anything that runs on gnome's ubuntu will run on kde's ubuntu and vice versa, amiright? [03:16] Why does KDE suck? [03:16] more specifically, why does it crash so often and hog memory? [03:16] eye candy [03:16] ive had no problems [03:17] eye candy is like cotton candy, taste good for a second then its gone and has no substance [03:18] Please specify, what does "hog memory" mean to you? [03:18] arghh2d2:you can say that about any candy [03:18] i mean, i just feel like a linux OS is supposed to be streamlined. KDE gives me a headache when i look at it [03:18] i can't focus [03:19] Helsinkiii: gnome's not much better...tiling window managers are where its at...the only thing good about kde and gnome is their network/volume managers [03:20] stupid question coming.... [03:20] tiling windows?what's that [03:20] how do i know what version of linux im using? [03:20] what version of kubuntu i mean [03:21] chrisp200: uname -a i think [03:21] ty [03:21] cuznt, ok I installed the installer, now what? [03:21] uname -a will give you the kernel version, but it won't tell you "Kubuntu 9.xx" [03:21] Hi! I'm new with Kubuntu 9.10 and I want to install my Movile Modem Sony Ericsson MD300 but I don't know how to do it. can you giveme any advise? [03:22] luis_: is that a cell phone? [03:23] well is a kind of (it's just like a pendrive but works as a cell phone) [03:23] Helsinkiii: window managers like dwm, awesome, rat poison etc... they utilize the entire screen and can be controlled entirely from the keyboard...helps you stay focused if you do alot of keyboard work...sucks for graphic work like gimp or ardour though [03:23] i want to use animated theme for grub 2 [03:23] http://grub.gibibit.com/ [03:24] Gimp is stupid [03:24] anyone know anything about installing appache? [03:24] luis_: have you tried plugging it in? One of the strengths of Linux is the number of drivers built in. [03:24] gimp is actually not too bad [03:25] meh. i've used Photoshop forever , it's the industry standard, and i don't feel like learning anthing else [03:25] yes, but doesn't work [03:25] it's a waste of time [03:25] is there any guide for install animated theme on grub 2? [03:25] chrisp200: i dont know how to get the kubuntu version... maybe apt-get with a certain flag and kde-desktop... [03:25] I hate how ubuntu doesn't have the equivalent of MS Paint [03:26] I have seen things crash in kubuntu [03:26] multiple times but updating it seems to help a lot [03:26] updating bug, security and kde files [03:26] Helsinkiii: mtpaint is pretty close to ms paint [03:27] et_ I've found some clues at my internet provider, but I don't know how to use the terminal in root mode [03:27] luis_: sudo xterm should open a new window in root mode === Guest23648 is now known as Orion777 [03:28] a regular terminal is fine, just place "sudo" (without quotes) before every command [03:28] luis_: or sudo konsole, gnome-terminal, terminator, urxvt, etc, etc... [03:28] ty [03:29] this seems good there is a kamp kubuntu apache, myssql, and php [03:29] is this legit? [03:29] http://ejhildreth.com/node/18 [03:29] et_: that can get old pretty quick, good thing its fine for you though === orion is now known as Orion777 [03:30] if there are a lot of commands, you can type "sudo su" to become root [03:30] chrisp200: most likely legit apache mysql and php are usually lumped together on any webserver [03:30] et_: Ty, It worked [03:30] now I'll try to follow the steps I was given! [03:30] is there a more stable distribution with kde? [03:30] awesome, ill give it a whirl...thankyou arghh2d2 [03:30] luis_: Excellent! I'm glad [03:31] hmm, actually kubuntu has worked out very well for me, I'm still learning the command prompt though [03:45] Orion777: PC Linux OS uses kde as its standard DE but i havent used it [03:45] yes I was thinking about that one, and also linux mint which the newest version doesn't have kde yet [03:46] I literally have kde looking like win 7 quality now but its more stable, secure, and faster [03:46] it even has single icons for open programs instead of taskbars [03:47] when my new system get's here i'll be trying pclos, they use the rolling release model...gotta love that [03:52] whats rolling release? [03:52] all I know is its still kde, the question is if its more stable [03:52] or easier to use [03:52] instead of updating once every six months like ubuntu's do...you update every day [03:54] it's pretty stable in Arch linux's case, havent tried PCLOS yet [03:55] linux has security updates here and there but the whole system upgrades only on april and october [03:55] errr ubuntu i mean [04:01] it seems by what I'm reading the pclos has older versions of kernel etc, not sure how I feel about that [04:01] I'm really more interested in linux mint 8 kde version which will be out soon [04:02] I think the problem is I'm not sure ubuntu is the best base for kde [04:03] Orion777: well, afaik, linux mint is ubuntu [04:06] i'm not worried about the kernel not being the latest greatest...if you get too close to the bleeding edge sh!t starts gettin buggy [04:09] true [04:10] does anyone else get openoffice menus looking like: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3775/plasmadesktopxx1517.jpg [04:13] r00t_ninja: thats pretty ugly [04:14] most of the stuff in options is like that and the fonts in open office dont look as good as other applications [04:14] rootninja: my internet connection freezes randomly, do I need to upgrade my drivers?\ [04:15] Orion777: wireless? [04:15] yeah [04:16] Orion777: check if there are any restricted drivers in the Hardware Drivers application available [04:16] how [04:16] when I run it only the video cards show up [04:16] click on the kmenu [04:16] there arnt any then [04:16] try deleting your connection [04:17] in knetworkmanager [04:17] and then making a new one [04:17] k [04:17] I'll do that later [04:17] ok [04:20] isn't there tweak software for kde? [04:22] like? [04:22] do you mean ubuntu tweak? [04:29] klett, does it work for kubuntu? [04:31] Orion777: kubuntu is just ubuntu with KDE for the window manager...you can use anything in kubuntu that you can use in ubuntu, and vice versa and also use differnt window managers like icewm, openbox, fluxbox, pekwm, dwm, twm, etc..the list goes on and on... [04:32] what are the advantage of other window managers [04:32] Orion777: light weight, use less resources, free's up memory for processing [04:33] k, I am trying to add widgets to taskbar and they show up as a red x..what does that mean === root is now known as Guest83056 [04:33] you are probably missing some dependincies [04:34] Orion777: all that fading in and out and shadowing and general shinyness you see in kde uses alot of cpu and ram that some people would rather save [04:34] Silly question I installed php mysql and apache however when i attemp to open my php file it trys to download it what am I doing wrong here [04:34] rootninja, how to fix dependencies [04:34] Orion777: find the widget on kde look and it should say [04:35] well I recently install kde 4.3.4 and all the updates and bug fixes but never restarted, is that the problem? [04:35] probably not [04:35] it could be though [04:35] k, I mean none of the widgets are working [04:35] oh [04:35] it probably is then [04:35] k I'll restart === guest_ is now known as reboot09 [04:38] NM there we go I didnt restart apache === orion is now known as Guest36082 [04:46] r00t_ninja: still there? [04:46] yes [04:47] I created a plain text file in .kde/autostart with nvidia-settings -l in it, it isn't working, where do I save the config file [04:47] err how [04:47] delete it [04:47] and then go into system settings [04:47] the advanced tab [04:47] autostart [04:48] then click add program [04:49] add the text file? [04:49] do I need to save an x config file first? [04:49] no [04:49] dont add the text file === Guest36082 is now known as Orion777 [04:49] click the browse icon [04:50] and then browse to /usr/bin/nvidia-settings [04:52] done? [04:54] yes [04:55] logout? [04:57] wait [04:57] ... [04:58] hello === richard is now known as kingbilly [05:00] will kubuntu include nepomuk tagging support in lucid lynx? === orion is now known as Orion111 [05:16] progmanos: you can tag stuff in karmic [05:17] everything is bugging out [05:17] Orion111: really? with the soprano backend I had no problems [05:17] it was a bit slow when it was indexing [05:17] soprano? [05:18] my notification windows won't even close anymore [05:18] and I can't remove the sys tray [05:18] brb [05:18] Orion111: sorry I thougth you were talking about nepomuk [05:20] islington: its only usually slow the first time it indexes everything [05:21] yup, also had the odd bug where I had to symlink the java something or other [05:21] i had that aswell [05:21] what does the new backend do? [05:21] virtuoso I mean === orion is now known as Guest78992 [05:25] this happens everytime, I install all the newest kubuntu files(updates,kde) and then everthing starts bugging out === Guest78992 is now known as Orion747 [05:44] I'm having trouble installing Kubuntu. [05:46] and? [05:46] Guest91316: could you please describe your problem. [05:48] I have this old computer running Windows 2000. [05:48] And it fails to load wubi.exe [05:49] :P === orion is now known as Guest65776 === tatah is now known as MadPrestes === Guest65776 is now known as Orion7 [05:50] Orion7: are the nvidia settings restoring? [05:50] it opens the actual settings window [05:50] I just want the settings loaded [05:51] did you put /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -l [05:51] when you had me put a text file in autostart before it worked..I put nvidia-settings -l in it, is that right? [05:51] you left before i could tell you to put the -l [05:51] oh I'm supposed to add -l in the properties? [05:51] yes [05:51] oh, ok, but how can it load if I never saved a config file [05:51] you will have to do that === tatah is now known as MadPrestes [05:52] just open up nvidia-settings [05:52] and adjust [05:52] with kdesudo or sudo or neither? [05:52] neither [05:52] when I say save x config file it says failed to parse to the file [05:53] it says that when I try to save in any of the couple sections [05:53] Orion7: are you trying to adjust the resolution? [05:54] no, digital vibrance, etc, and when I type nvidia-settings it loads it but then I'd have to close the window everytime so I want it to load the settings [05:55] ok here is how to fix it [05:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8111337&postcount=28 [05:59] r00t_ninja, do you know anything about wubi.exe's compatibility with Windows 2000? [05:59] I read it was compatible, but it just doesn't run. [05:59] Nor does it autorun when I insert the cd. [05:59] I have to mount the image just for the computer to recognize the .iso. [05:59] what error do you get when you try to run it? [05:59] how did you burn the cd? [06:00] with an image burner? [06:00] I burned it with Ubuntu's Brasero [06:00] ok [06:00] When I click wubi, it doesn't give me a response. [06:00] It looks like it's loading something, but then stops, and nothing happens. [06:01] have you tried getting wubi from http://wubi-installer.org/ and running it? [06:01] Nope. [06:01] I [06:01] 'll try it. [06:01] ok [06:01] Should I replace it with the wubi in the .iso, or run it by itself? [06:02] just run it by itself [06:03] k. [06:04] rootninja, how do I save to a root file with kate? [06:04] or open one so I can see it for that matter [06:05] Orion7: open kate with kdesudo [06:05] tried that [06:05] still opens them as blank [06:05] and rolls out a load of errors in the terminal before kate opens [06:05] what file are you opening? [06:05] I have to copy the contents of the xconfig backup file to xconfig file [06:06] did you make a backup of it? [06:06] the instructions in the order they're given in that link strangely do not work [06:06] what happens when you use nano from a terminal [06:06] I just used the commands the link gave me, then it says to save and it once again gave the parse error [06:06] open up a terminal and run sudo nano /path/to/file/ [06:07] I tried running the wubi.exe downloaded from the address you gave me, it gives the same effect as the one in the .iso [06:07] Orion7: have you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ? [06:07] Guest91316: they may have dropped support for windows 2000 [06:07] no [06:07] Orion7:make sure you run that [06:08] So, would there be no possible way for me to install Kubuntu? [06:08] Guest91316: a proper install [06:08] A proper install? [06:08] Guest91316: however are you sure your hardware will be able to handle kubuntu [06:08] Guest91316: boot off the cd [06:09] I hope so, lol. [06:09] That's the other thing. [06:09] I don't think this computer has the option to boot from a cd. [06:10] If it does, I can't find it. [06:10] most computers do [06:10] an old windows 98 computer i have can [06:10] what is the make/model [06:11] Just a sec [06:11] also if you font have atleast 512mb of ram i would suggest you dont try kubuntu [06:11] *dont [06:12] -.- [06:13] It's a Compaq Deskpro DP 4000 [06:13] I believe [06:13] i think you press f10 to get into the bios options [06:13] rootninja: for less 512mb or less wouldn't you recommend xubuntu? [06:13] also have you tried just haivng the cd in when you boot [06:13] Orion7: yes [06:14] I haven't tried. [06:14] And lol. [06:14] I might wanna try Xubuntu then. [06:14] I have next to 0 ram. [06:14] Guest91316: crunchbang linux could be a good option [06:14] Crunchbang Linux and Xubuntu, I'll keep that in mind. [06:15] Ill be back later [06:17] I'm having a little problem with my 9.10: Firefox is segfaulting at startup [06:17] Any ideas? [06:19] Note: I updated it from 8.04 [06:25] o_a: i think your sposed to update 9.10 from 9.04, 9.04 from 8.10, and 8.10 from 8.,04 [06:25] etc etc... [06:25] have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it [06:25] arghh2d2: Nope. Directly from 8.04 [06:25] Many times, Orion7 [06:26] I was having a prob with firefox and the person said type "rm -fr ~ /.mozilla" I kid you not..even though I know its correctly rm -fr ~/.mozilla [06:27] o_a: do not type what I just said..please [06:27] o_a: ok, you know better than i do...i'm just saying i've seen people say that you cant easily jump upgrade like that. [06:27] arghh2d2, is there a way he can install 9.10 from scratch without losing his stuff? [06:27] This time I can, arghh2d2 [06:28] o_a: rm -fr ~/.mozilla is fine, do it [06:28] Let's see [06:29] yes but it must be typed exactly that way [06:29] I typed the other and it killed kubuntu permanently [06:29] typed what Orion7? [06:30] What about "rm .mozilla -rf"? [06:30] what killed kubuntu? [06:30] Either way, it didn't work [06:30] typing rm -fr ~ /.mozilla killed kubuntu [06:30] o_a: that will just fail, nothing will happen [06:30] "rm -fr ~" Ha ha [06:30] can't have a space after the ~ ...lol [06:31] oh well, I like clean installs anyway [06:31] You removed all your home directory [06:31] Orion7: ahh [06:31] uh huh, cause I'm a beginner at the linux command line [06:31] I'm used to dos [06:31] i set up the best lookin theme i ever saw today :D [06:31] dos is extremely inferior to linux cli [06:32] Segfault [06:32] :(( [06:32] whats cli? [06:32] I know but it what I started with 17 years ago cause that's where the games were [06:32] CLI = Command Line Interface [06:33] oh i just call it command line [06:33] Oh well, I can live with that - using Opera [06:33] Orion7: i hear ya [06:33] o_a: good idea [06:33] i usually prefer gui [06:33] y not firefox? [06:33] anyway, now I have kubuntu looking like Win 7..even the single icon open programs on taskbar [06:33] oorah: cli i easier to type and alot of people use it [06:34] Because it is segfaulting, r00t_ninja [06:34] i use it too [06:34] try deleteing ~/.mozilla [06:34] It didn't work r00t_ninja [06:35] purging and then reinstalling it? [06:35] o_a: try killall -9 firefox-bin [06:35] o_a: you typed rm -fr ~/.mozilla? [06:35] r00t_ninja: he just upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 too [06:36] Yes, Orion7 [06:36] i'll probably try out alpha 1 tomorrow and see if i discover any bugs [06:36] I can't wait till 3.7 comes oout [06:36] thats really the only way i can give to the community lol i can't fix them so i just try to find them [06:36] or whatever they're gonna call it [06:36] 3.7?? [06:37] its got built in transparency [06:37] firefox-bin isn't running, arghh2d2 [06:37] o_a: try running firefox now [06:38] o_a: might wanna run firefox from the command line so you can see any error messages. [06:38] I'm already doing that, arghh2d2 [06:38] well from what I remember when 3.6 betas are over they might go to 3.7 or even soon to 4 [06:38] That's how I get the segfault error [06:38] And, BOOM SEGFAULT [06:39] Again [06:39] o_a: you can't backup your stuff and do a fresh install to 9.10? [06:39] No, too much work [06:39] try r00t_ninja 's idea...purge and reinstall [06:39] use opera then [06:39] i'm a 26 year old male that stayed home on a friday night cleaning lol [06:40] oorah: wtf? is that news? [06:41] not for me really lol its kinda typical really [06:41] news is i bought a 6.5' artificial tree for $10 last night :D [06:42] oorah: nice...i like to keep it minimal myself [06:42] hence using Linux lol [06:43] minimal and ya get more [06:44] I thought win 7 was pretty cool but kubuntu is better, I just had to get the hang of it [06:44] yeah, i have no idea why i'm in #kubuntu [06:44] the only thing I wonder is if there's a distribution of kde 4.3 that is more stable [06:45] or if its just 4.3 itself that is unstable [06:45] i meant to type xubuntu lol sorry [06:45] Windows 7 is nothing but Vista with a nice taskbar [06:45] OK [06:45] Jeg har lavat prolvlemet [06:45] can someone help me out with some audio problems? [06:45] i hated vista, i used it on 512 ram [06:45] Min bil holerder ude pp moterbejer [06:45] actually win 7 loads faster, runs faster, and has less ram requirement [06:45] Yes, yes, and that too [06:45] Windows 2000 kind of sucks. [06:45] I just updated to 9.10 and now flash items in firefox don't have sound and neither does xbmc [06:46]
