[01:43] <|2-bits|> mine keeps going to ~/documents, though, regardless of whatever I last did [01:43] <|2-bits|> but i will try with kget [01:43] <|2-bits|> thanks [01:43] have fun [01:45] any one got help for qemu probz [01:46] KARMIC_PS3: have you asked the question? [01:47] it doesnt do anything after being setup the emulated system never starts [01:47] i've tried about every os [01:48] how are you starting it? [01:48] I can't stay that long but #qemu and ##Linux would likely have information that works just as well [01:49] ive tried thru qemu itself and and thru a frontend. do you mean something aside from that [01:50] and i would be happy to ask my ?'s elsewhere but i have no idea how to find a channel i need [01:54] how to you search for the apropriate channel or a different channel at all [01:58] Hey all [01:58] having a bit of a problem with my vm of kubuntu finding packages [01:59] even sudo aptitude search apache doesnt find anything [02:01] KARMIC_PS3: you can use /list to get a listing of all the channels. Your client will dictate how you search [02:01] but if you type /join ##linux you should get a good stream of answers [02:02] sdwrage: Can it see the internet? [02:02] daskreech, yep [02:02] able to get on the internet just fine [02:02] sdwrage: and sudo apt-get update works ? [02:02] lemme look [02:03] daskreech, thx man that fixed it [02:03] sdwrage: uh huh :) [02:03] it must have been because I installed the network adapter to the VMX after I installed to my virtual drive [02:04] cool beans [02:08] huh where do i type that at [02:11] where do i type /list or /join at [02:12] the same place you type to talk [02:13] btw, don't type /list here [02:14] /msg alis help [02:15] okay im confused [02:18] i want to go to a different channel [02:19] KARMIC_PS3: Which channel? [02:19] something for qemu [02:19] KARMIC_PS3: in the same place you type to enter text for here type /join #qemu [02:19] you can also type /join ##linux [02:20] or if the words above are in blue you can click on them [02:20] okay thnx [02:22] KARMIC_PS3: Ah umm you need a registerd nick for ##linux [02:22] !register | KARMIC_PS3 [02:22] KARMIC_PS3: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[02:27] clamrock: apt-get remove the packages [02:28] um, there are 1000's of pending installations, it would be tedious to list all of them like that [02:31] clamrock: aptitude (without options) , Menu Actions > cancel pending [02:31] fanfare: great, thanks!!

[03:03] ubuntu tweek is a great ap[plication [03:03] look into it [03:04] i am not sure if there is kubuntu tweek thats what i want to know [03:05] In general you can run anything from ubuntu in kubuntu, its just a matter of having the required libraries installed [03:05] !tweek [03:05] meowkbuntu: well, as i see this, all settings about desktop will not be usefull, as its a gnome/gtk app... but systemsettings might work... [03:06] ah, yeah, that's not going to be too useful in kde [03:06] except if you want to switch back and forth between kde/gnome [03:06] but it would probably still run, just not be all that useful [03:07] Fanfare: maby there is a kubuntu tweak application then [03:08] meowkbuntu: i dont know kde has systemsettings for desktop stuff...

The network manager sees the networks, but when I click on them nothing happens (it doesn't even seem to attempt to connect) [04:31] does anybody here have any insights on this? [04:31] the router is fine (I can connect with another computer) === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [05:15] hello :) ! can anyone help me to automatically mount partitions on boot? [05:22] thetuxracer: still there? [05:22] yes! [05:23] what partitions do you want to mount? [05:23] windows partitions? [05:23] i have a few ntfs partitions, [05:23] can you currently mount them manually? [05:24] yes. the problem is: for every first access, i have to supply the password. ill post a screenie. [05:24] yes, i can access them manually [05:25] http://i47.tinypic.com/10eln68.jpg [05:27] so you have created fstab lines for those partitions? [05:27] umm, i did, but it gave me errors. i basically ddnt know how to put a whitespace character in the mount point [05:28] (/040) === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [05:28] is what i mean [05:28] ok, the easiest thing to do is remove all the fstab entries for ntfs partitions you created, and install ntfs-config [05:29] ntfs-config will automatically set up fstab with all ntfs partitions [05:30] ok [05:30] or just comment out the ntfs lines in fstab if you prefer [05:30] ill apt-get them [05:32] hmm, yes. ntfs configuration tool setup the fstab for me [05:32] ok, ill reboot and be back in a sec. [05:32] you don't have to reboot [05:32] still there? === ubuntu is now known as webconx [05:40] @iconmefisto ok, it worked. though ntfs config tool deosnt make a new directory for u! [05:40] new directory? [05:41] the mount point? [05:41] oh, i meant mount point [05:41] yes! :P [05:41] you could edit fstab to use the mount points you want [05:41] now i have lots of unused folders in /media need to delete them! [05:42] yes, ill copy paste the above entries, and change mount points [05:42] also, sudo mount -a will "mount all" the partitions in fstab. no need to reboot [05:44] ok [05:47] ok, im all set [05:47] thank for the help, iconmefisto! [05:47] no prob [06:31] Anyone around? [06:33] kdeinit:Aborting.$DISPLAY is not set [06:34] What can I do to fix that? [06:48] anyone in the mood to assist a new kubuntu/ubuntu/Linux noob?

[06:50] ive got wifi connection problems [06:50] it can establish connection with my router, but the issue after that [06:50] is i cant get any pages to load. [06:50] Trebesan: ahh.... yeah that's a toughie sometimes [06:50] All of my connections are hardwired :( [06:50] it handles hardwired just fine [06:51] Trebesan: have you done pings to the gateway and perhaps to google.com ? [06:51] sec [06:52] telling me network unreachable [06:52] cant even ping the router [06:53] Trebesan: ok well that's a decent start at least [06:53] it would just be ping 192.168.1.1 [06:53] right? [06:53] Trebesan: can you open a terminal session? [06:54] im in terminal. how else would i ping? :< [06:55] Trebesan: ok.. do an ifconfig and be sure of your gateway [06:56] okay, what am i looking for here in iwcnfig? [06:56] Trebesan: do you see on the left eth0 ? [06:57] eth0 would be the wired adapter correct? [06:57] but yes, i see ot [06:57] it* [06:57] sorry typing over the other keyboard is difficult ;) [06:57] does it have a inet addr ? [06:58] its not currently wired [06:58] im on a seperate computer [06:58] yeah makes sense [06:58] sorry bout that [06:58] lol [06:59] shall i disconnect this one and run wired and wifi? [06:59] would that be beneficial? [06:59] well, you might try, if possible, to see if the wired connection works [06:59] if so, that at least rules out a lot of things and basically points to the card [06:59] it did earlier [06:59] ahh ok [06:59] what kind of card? [07:00] WUSB100 Linksys [07:00] usb adapter [07:00] lets see if, by chance ubotu has anything [07:00] !WUSB100 [07:00] what is that?

[09:30] best to just ask straight out. If anyone can answer, they will. [09:31] kk [09:31] how can i make the r128 driver work? i'm stuck using fbdev which is really, really slow. [09:32] in theory if it's installed then XOrg should load it automatically, but failing that: [09:32] http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/r128.4.html [09:32] check out the example just under "Synopsis" [09:33] put something like that in your xorg.conf and see what happens [09:34] ok i have tried most of those options but whenever i try to use r128 x will not start [09:36] have you checked /var/log/xorg.log.0 for lines beginning with "EE"? [09:36] yes [09:36] i talked to one of the xorg devs for a bit, but he didn't seem to know either :( [09:36] I take it there was nothing useful there then?

[09:37] imac g3 [09:54] Hello All [09:56] hello infinite [09:59] I am about to buy a wireless router for my home, the options are Belkin G Wireless router, CISCO(LINKSYS)->WRT54GH, and TP-Link->TL-WR642G routers, can I fiind drivers for any of these wireless routers [10:01] ...drivers? [10:01] why would you need a driver for a router? [10:01] i think you don't need driver for router [10:01] that's not how routers work :) [10:02] as long as you have a driver for your wifi card, you should be fine [10:02] yes that's true [10:06] Do you use any drivers for a wireless router to connect to a laptop? [10:07] hallo [10:07] infinite_: Well, you'll need a driver for the wifi chipset in your laptop [10:07] but you won't need a driver for the router itself, because the router is not in any way attached to the laptop [10:07] it'll just communicate with the laptop via wifi. [10:08] Hi, uwe. [10:08] hi uwe [10:09] jemand der deutsch spricht hier?

[10:10] I have Kubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop. The wireless routers that I listed have a CD for Win Vista and Mac OSX. There is no software for Linux. [10:10] infinite_: you don't need the software. [10:10] infinite can you give me the name of your router [10:10] just use the web interface on your router. [10:11] Xinux-al: what do you want to know, exactly? The wifi card in the PC communicates with the router via radio waves. [10:12] The routers I saw are Belkin G Wireless Router, CISCO(LINKSYS)->WRT54GH, and TP-Link->TL-WR642G. [10:12] What is ndsiwrapper? [10:13] you know i have a laptop i have a wifi card included and what can i do to to use wireless (execuse m english) [10:13] inifinite [10:13] infinite_: it allows you to use Windows network drivers [10:13] yes [10:14] to use windows network on kubunut or ubuntu [10:15] Xinux-al: usually you just have to click on the network icon in the system tray and add a new wirless network (assuming you have set up a wireless router) [10:16] ok thank you Vroomfondle [10:16] Wont the wireless transmission be encrypted, how will my laptop access that transmission and decrypt it [10:22] Does Kubuntu have drivers for the wireless chipset?

I need help booting my system. I have installed new version of nvidia drivers, and later my kernel was updated from official repository. Somehow this make my system unbootable. Error message was 'X server cannot start. Screens found, but none have usable configuration'. Additional error message stated that there is a mismatch between version of nvidia driver and kernel video API. Later I booted with previous version of kernel [12:56] and added some Launchpad PPA repository with fresh nvidia drivers which I foolishly believed should fix my problem. They make my system totally unbootable instead. I can login into console, but a few moments later system hangs up completely - blank black screen. I am now on Live CD. What could I do if any to revive my system? [12:59] ubuntu: the PPA will be for oss drivers, nvidia drivers will not be avalible for the new kernel, just use the old kernel until nvidia drivers are updated [13:00] RiotingPacifist: How could I apply this to my old system from the live CD? [13:00] RiotingPacifist: If you mean just boot into the old kernel - they are all unbootable. [13:01] ubuntu: that is what i meant, if your sure they are all unbootable then i can't be much use other than to suggest you ask for help in #ubuntu and #nvidia [13:01] !nvidia | ubuntu [13:01] ubuntu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:02] RiotingPacifist: Is there a way to install old ones from the live CD? [13:03] your old kernel will still be in your grub menu (unless you erased it), if you want to reinstall from the cd, make sure the cd is in your sources then use something like aptitude or synaptic to install the kernel offered from the cd, apt-cache policy linux may help you find out which one it is [13:04] RiotingPacifist: Problem is - my system hangs up even in console login. Is it possible without booting it? [13:05] But wait, I didn't try old kernel with 'Safe Mode'. Could this help? [13:06] old kernel with safe mode should work, but if it's hanging on console login then i don't know whats wrong [13:06] it is possible to use aptitude without booting it, you need to chroot into the actual install then run aptitude inside the chroot [13:06] !chroot | ubuntu [13:06] ubuntu: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [13:07] I don't know is it 'hanging' or not, but after few seconds after console login cursor hides and there is nothing else but the blank black screen. [13:07] ubuntu: sounds like x is trying to start or the kernel is crashing, does your numlock key flash? [13:08] I didn't noticed that, probably not. [13:08] No, I would have noticed that.

I would check for obvious errors (df ar your disks full, etc) but I don't really no ubuntu well enough to know how to fix your problem [13:14] Disk are surely okay. Thank you, I'll seek further help there.
