| axiom | How can I tell what sound system I am running? (trying to get sound in flash.) | 15:01 |
| natch | My old PC cannot run X window for many distros, but the Kubuntu can. Even though when it ups to date for new kernel, it cannot run. | 15:01 |
| natch | Why is it being like this? | 15:02 |
| DexterF | axiom: check ps ax if pulse is running. frehs install of 9.10? probably pulseaudio. for flash and pulse you need a package... mmh.. flashsomething... | 15:03 |
| DexterF | some plugin..? not sure | 15:03 |
| DexterF | what's the easiest way to file a bug report? | 15:03 |
| Tm_T | yabuk: you have to be logged out from KDE while you do that | 15:04 |
| axiom | DexterF: ah, I do have pulse then. Flash sound did work before, but then when I setup my surround sound it quit working. | 15:05 |
| axiom | DexterF: What are you filing a bug report against? | 15:05 |
| DexterF | axiom: shutdown applet broken | 15:06 |
| axiom | for kde? | 15:06 |
| DexterF | uh hu | 15:06 |
| DexterF | clicking the shutdown button doesnt do a thing. shutdown -h works. | 15:06 |
| axiom | hmm.. I've seen that sometimes | 15:07 |
| axiom | have you used https://bugs.kde.org ? | 15:07 |
| DexterF | well, I guess its a kubuntu thing. | 15:07 |
| axiom | maybe | 15:07 |
| axiom | I guess that would be launchpad then | 15:07 |
| yabuk | Tm_T: I used a live cd to do that command | 15:08 |
| DexterF | does one need an account for that? | 15:08 |
| axiom | yes | 15:08 |
| axiom | hmm. so when I "ps ax" I see "12699 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep pulse" | 15:08 |
| natch | :) | 15:08 |
| natch | cannot run X window | 15:09 |

| blue112 | Hello here* | 16:41 |
| blue112 | How can I install amarok < 2.0 ? Everywhere one the wiki it's written that amarok 2.x isn't ended yet, but I can't find a place to download the old one :/ | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: i dont think you can install < 2.0 | 16:41 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, then I just have to use a unfinished amarok, with no alternative ? | 16:42 |
| shadeslayer_ | though google may turn up something | 16:42 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: um its not unfinished... i really like it | 16:42 |
| blue112 | There's no media device support | 16:42 |
| blue112 | The old amarok does it fine | 16:42 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: which device? | 16:42 |
| blue112 | Every | 16:43 |
| blue112 | i can't find any option to connect a device into amarok 2.2 | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer_ | uh,no i can use my ipod and blackberry | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: that doesnt mean it has no support | 16:43 |
| blue112 | Then what, it's hidden ? | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: you just need to find it,its under the collection menu | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: the left most panel, Collection > HD/Device | 16:44 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, I don't have such thing, I just have a left pannel which says "Local Music", "Internet"... | 16:45 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: local music > collection | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | blue112, there's a site for amarok kde3 version , forgotten the url | 16:46 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, ok, so now I have "Local Collection" with my musics inside... where would I configure the divces ? | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: find it? | 16:47 |
| blue112 | devices* | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: theres no need for configuring,just click on the music on your HD and right click it > transfer to > click device | 16:47 |
| shadeslayer_ | its autoconfigured | 16:48 |
| BluesKaj | oops I misunderstood ....again :) | 16:48 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, no, my device isn't detected by amarok. In the old version, I use to manually configure it | 16:48 |
| shadeslayer_ | BluesKaj: hehe :) | 16:48 |
| kraken_ | bonjour | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | I have amarok but I'm not using it ...the new one is clunky IMO | 16:49 |
| === Neel_ is now known as Neelesh | ||
| blue112 | kraken_, this is an english-speaking channel :) | 16:50 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: use : right click > copy to collection > Device | 16:50 |
| blue112 | I don't have "copy to collection" | 16:51 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: did the device appear in the local collection? | 16:51 |
| blue112 | No, it's not. I told you I should configure it manually. | 16:52 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: did you mount the device? | 16:52 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, I did. | 16:52 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: what did you attach? | 16:53 |
| blue112 | an iPhone (which is fully supported by libgpod) | 16:53 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: hmm better ask in #amarok before replacing 2.2 with 1.4 | 16:54 |
| blue112 | :/ | 16:54 |
| blue112 | There's no way to configure devices manually ? | 16:54 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: please ask in #amarok | 16:56 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: also : http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod | 16:56 |
| blue112 | shadeslayer_, that's for the old amarok ;) | 16:56 |
| blue112 | I've asked in #amarok :/ | 16:57 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: what did they say? | 16:57 |
| blue112 | Nothing | 16:58 |
| shadeslayer_ | blue112: then please wait for a answer and see the link i gave you | 16:58 |
| Kolia | blue112: are you sure the iphone is *fully* supported | 17:04 |
| Kolia | ? | 17:04 |
| jason_ | kubuntu doesnt have the software center??? | 17:05 |
| Kolia | the last time i checked (christmas) it was more fully instable.. | 17:05 |
| jason_ | was that directed to me? | 17:05 |
| blue112 | Kolia, it's enough supported for me to put music on it :) | 17:05 |
| blue112 | That's all I want to with it ;) | 17:06 |
| Kolia | blue112: you use the gtkpod thingy? | 17:06 |
| blue112 | gtkpod is crashing because of a weird problem, but it used to work. | 17:06 |
| Kolia | it detected my music find, but i didn't dare to sync it, too afraid of messzing it :) | 17:06 |
| Kolia | it's not supported in amarok now afaik | 17:07 |
| shadeslayer | btw i heard that they removed support for ipod devices from 3rd party apps on engadget | 17:07 |
| Kolia | and i don't think it handled iphone in its old version neither | 17:07 |
| blue112 | It was supported on the old version | 17:07 |
| Kolia | shadeslayer: 'they' = ? | 17:07 |
| shadeslayer | Kolia: apple | 17:08 |
| blue112 | As it used libgpod, and libgpod supported it | 17:08 |
| Kolia | blue112: iphone? i don't think so. Ipod yes | 17:08 |
| Kolia | shadeslayer: yep they messed up with the ipod touch and iphone making it hard to sync since dev had to reverse engineered it *again* | 17:08 |
| Kolia | i should try to sync my music with gtkpod.. not a big risk actually | 17:09 |
| shadeslayer | Kolia: yeah thats what i heard... apple was stupid enough to mess with the Open source community | 17:09 |
| === andy is now known as Guest28298 | ||
| Kolia | shadeslayer: well it has always been their strategy and according to their results, looks like a good one | 17:10 |

| jason_ | why is it kubuntu doesnt have the sfotware center?? | 17:11 |
| Vroomfondle | lack of manpower, probably | 17:11 |
| jason_ | sigh | 17:12 |
| jason_ | maybe someday | 17:12 |
| Kolia | or maybe never, not sure it's planned | 17:12 |
| jason_ | well | 17:13 |
| jason_ | if its not planned for 10.04, I think its time I go to a distro that gives a damn about kde | 17:13 |

| === phil is now known as Phil_Ewert | ||
| Kolia | jason_: software center has noting to do with kde, i don't see your point. | 17:23 |
| jason_ | software center is on ubuntu | 17:24 |
| jason_ | but not on kubuntu | 17:24 |
| jason_ | that's my point | 17:24 |
| Kolia | "i think it's time ti go to a distro that gives a damn about kde" : what does that mean? | 17:25 |
| jason_ | I've used a ton of distros, and I'm just not sold on the fact that canonical acknowledges Kubuntu is as big as it is. | 17:25 |
| jason_ | I have heard rumors though that they're trying to put more devs on the 10.04 LTS release though | 17:26 |
| jason_ | which it'd be the perfect time to really push that full bo re | 17:26 |
| Kolia | i see | 17:26 |
| Dragnslicer | Is "Software Center" anything more than an apt GUI? | 17:26 |

| TheAncientGoat | tobias___: Actionscript is Flash. Its the "code" that defines what the swf file shows (roughly). Think of it as html versus dreamweaver. Unfortunately there aren't any visual flash IDE's but you can get around well enough using a normal IDE thats geared up for Actionscript | 17:46 |

| iconmefisto | jmichaelx: yes, in dolphin prefs, general, status bar tab, enable "show space information" | 18:22 |
| jmichaelx | iconmefisto: i have that selected. it shows me the amount of free space, not the size of the directory | 18:23 |
| iconmefisto | jmichaelx: ok, I see what you mean, sorry | 18:24 |
| jmichaelx | iconmefisto: from what i can tell, there is no way to set it to show directory sizes. if that is the case, that is really, really lame | 18:24 |
| RiotingPacifist | iconmefisto: doesn't that only show the size of the partition, you can't know the size of a dir without going through all the sub dirs so, unless you use something like kfilesizeviewer you can't do what you want | 18:24 |

| jmichaelx | RiotingPacifist: it seems to me that is functionality that should be a basic part of any file browser | 18:25 |
| RiotingPacifist | No file browser will impliment it because it would make browsing too slow | 18:26 |
| iconmefisto | jmichaelx: it shows in status bar number of files and folders, and total size of files (not including subdirectories) | 18:27 |
| jmichaelx | iconmefisto: ok, that is not showing in my status bar. i wonder what it is i have not selected in preferenced | 18:28 |
| jmichaelx | preferences* | 18:28 |
| iconmefisto | do you have anything selected? when no files are selected I see that info in status bar. when files are selected it shows info about the selections | 18:31 |
| jmichaelx | iconmefisto: no, nothing selected | 18:32 |
| jmichaelx | it seems to me, a file system would ideally keep some sort of running tab of file/directory sizes. maybe that would just be too resource intensive? | 18:34 |
| RiotingPacifist | to make it feasible you would need to store the information somewhere and then recuse upwards every time you modify a file, so if i modify "/home/juan/code/others/code/linux-2.6.33-rc4/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c" something needs to update 12 files, that's 12 files per file, image if i ran a patch that modified 50 files thats 600 extra file updates | 18:34 |
| jmichaelx | yeah, i am sure that would bog things down | 18:35 |
| === matteo is now known as Guest28493 | ||

The reason could be that it's still using K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY with a custom X-KDE-FactoryName which is not supported anymore any ideas? | 18:40 |
| RiotingPacifist | looking up file sizes by default would also be slow, if you want to look for large files taking up your harddisk space du/filelight/konqueror's filesizeviewer can help | 18:41 |

| fujimitsu | screen brightness can be adjusted via power management applet | 19:29 |
| fujimitsu | [the one that looks like a battery in task bar] | 19:29 |
| amichair | fujimitsu: that or the monitor brightness controls.. but that just makes everything dull and reduces contrast | 19:30 |
| amichair | I guess I'll just play around with the colors myself :-) | 19:31 |
| fujimitsu | indeed.. but i'd check some themes at that website .. wouldnt hurt | 19:31 |

| SimpleAnecdote | Hiya guys. So I'm on Kubuntu 9,10 64bit and npviewer.bin (the flash player) is eating my cpu usage and everything slows down until I force quit it (which of course makes the flash app blank and unsable). Is there anything I can do? | 21:22 |
| floh | Hi, I want to try to get wlan working with wpa. I had it working with kubuntu 9.04 (without knetworkmanager).

Or do someone have a "checklist", which I should try to find out why it isn't working? | 21:25 |
| phoenixz | RiotingPacifist: Just checked, should be no problem, the i810 is an ancient driver that has nothing to do with my chipset.. Not sure why X would complain though.. | 21:27 |

| RiotingPacifist | phoenixz: the only error in the log is i810 related, that's all im going from | 21:29 |
| phoenixz | RiotingPacifist: okay.. so there are no known problems from KDE about multiple xrandr call then? | 21:30 |

| HeaVenGh0st | how to get xbuntu on ubuntu 9.04 | 22:00 |
| BluesKaj | RiotingPacifist, i just use the canonical partners and medibuntu repos | 22:00 |

| HeaVenGh0st | tsimpson: how? | 22:00 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | 22:00 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 22:00 |
| tsimpson | HeaVenGh0st: with the package manager, synaptic, adept or kpackagekit, whichever you have installed | 22:01 |
| axiom | BluesKaj: ok, done that, restarted FF, still no sound. about:plugins tells me I have "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42" | 22:01 |

| axiom | yes | 22:01 |
| axiom | in Amarok | 22:01 |
| axiom | and Kaffeine | 22:02 |
| tsimpson | HeaVenGh0st: then use apt-get, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 22:02 |

| BluesKaj | axiom, sorry to hear that...i gave up on ff and now use google-chrome | 22:05 |

| tsimpson | HeaVenGh0st: what is the output of "ls -l /dev/null" ? | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | check your alsamixer levels | 22:05 |
| HeaVenGh0st | what is this: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:05 |
| iconmefisto | HeaVenGh0st: configures all packages that are unconfigured, eg when an upgrade was interrupted before completing | 22:06 |
| RiotingPacifist | axiom: check alsamixer for any mutes, quick solution is to rebot and see if it fixes your sound | 22:07 |
| axiom | BluesKaj: main appear to be at 0, raised that, but still no sound anywhere | 22:07 |
| HeaVenGh0st | iconmefisto: thanks mate!! | 22:07 |
| HeaVenGh0st | tsimpson: i will let u know in a min i just ran dpkg | 22:07 |
| RiotingPacifist | axiom: make sure everything is full and nothing is MM (muted) | 22:07 |
| axiom | BluesKaj: am init6, back in a few minutes | 22:07 |
| BluesKaj | RiotingPacifist, full is not a good idea, 75% is plenty to drive the speaker amps to full power ...to high and you distort/overload the speaker amp inputs | 22:09 |
| BluesKaj | too high | 22:09 |
| RiotingPacifist | BluesKaj: K, will say 75% in the future, but this is ALSA it does take care of that, it's not like hes running oss | 22:10 |
| BluesKaj | the red in the alsa ctrls are there for a reason :) | 22:11 |
| Daugha|n | RiotingPacifist: Doesnt matter..Pushing too high output can burn your receiver. | 22:12 |
| axiom | well, sound works in flash now, but not in kaffeine. feels like whack-a-mole here | 22:14 |
| RiotingPacifist | axiom: check your levels in alsamixer again | 22:16 |
| axiom | Master is at the top | 22:16 |
| BluesKaj | axiom, lookin system settings multimedia.Is pulseaudio installed? | 22:16 |
| axiom | yes | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | test it | 22:17 |
| axiom | test makes a nice sound there | 22:17 |
| iconmefisto | BluesKaj: if your "speaker amps" can't handle 0dB inputs (which is what you get when alsamixer levels are 100%) then that's a problem with the "speaker amps". alsamixer doesn't amplify the signal at all | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | ok what about your soundcard | 22:17 |
| axiom | er, what about my soundcard? | 22:18 |
| BluesKaj | test | 22:18 |
| axiom | Audigy SE [SB0570] (CA0106)) seems to work fine when I test | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | 100% is 0db ?...you gotta be kidding, iconmefisto | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | ok, then remove pulseaudio, you don't need it | 22:19 |
| Daugha|n | BluesKaj: 100% is 0db on the card, 100% is +5 at the headphone jack. Depends... | 22:20 |
| crimsun | 100% is meaningless, BTW | 22:20 |
| crimsun | the only thing that matters is the dB reported, and many hardware do that incorrectly | 22:20 |
| HeaVenGh0st | tsimpson: ls -l /dev/null , i have got crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-04-20 10:00 /dev/null | 22:20 |
| BluesKaj | crmsu it depends on soundcard gain , but usually 100% is too high | 22:21 |
| crimsun | BTW, if that happens [that your hw does it incorrectly], report a bug against linux so that it can be fixed | 22:21 |
| tsimpson | HeaVenGh0st: there is a solution here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/16830 basically you edit /etc/rc.local and add "chmod 0666 /dev/null" before "exit 0" | 22:23 |
| RiotingPacifist | BluesKaj: 100% is always 0db gain for alsa | 22:23 |
| RiotingPacifist | if the speakers add gain after that it's their perogative | 22:24 |
| BluesKaj | alsa doesn't determine total soundcard gain ...I would be careful making such a general statement, RiotingPacifist | 22:25 |
| cjae | anyone catch my pastebin? | 22:27 |
| HeaVenGh0st | tsimpson: just restarted the system.. let c if it gonna make any difference | 22:27 |
| crimsun | BluesKaj: RiotingPacifist is correct in the strict sense that 0 dB /should/ correspond to "100%" for alsa drivers. | 22:27 |
| crimsun | that's precisely why I mentioned that if they /don't/ correspond, one needs to file a bug so that we can fix it. | 22:27 |
| RiotingPacifist | crimsun: 0db gain, it's relative if the mp3 is playing at 1db then the output will be 1db | 22:28 |
| HeaVenGh0st | tsimpson: u r a star..it works | 22:28 |
| crimsun | RiotingPacifist: whatever the card reports as 0 dB should be honored. | 22:28 |
| RiotingPacifist | cjae: nope | 22:28 |
| crimsun | RiotingPacifist: yes, of course that doesn't affect the actual file | 22:28 |

| chashall | meowbuntu, this may help http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html | 22:50 |
| BluesKaj | dan__,click on the kmenu ,system ,open the konsole , type lspci at the prompt | 22:51 |
| chashall | has anyone worked with pysdm package? | 22:51 |
| dan__ | done. w/lan is a broadcom, ethernet is a realtek | 22:51 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: What ya trying to get done> | 22:52 |
| dan__ | i just wanna get this thing connected | 22:52 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Care to be more specific? | 22:53 |
| chashall | maco, you around? | 22:53 |
| dan__ | okay. everytime I try to load the w.lan drivers, it tries to download, and for somereason, it won't connect wired | 22:53 |
| BluesKaj | dan__, ethernet is your wired connection,, wlan is wifi | 22:54 |
| dan__ | fails everytime | 22:54 |
| HeaVenGh0st | my ubuntu is saying 7 broken packages? | 22:54 |
| HeaVenGh0st | how could i fix that | 22:54 |
| Daugha|n | HeaVenGh0st: synaptics has a filter for broken, use it to define wich packages need help. | 22:55 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: is eth0 plugged in? | 22:56 |
| dan__ | i know. I assumed that they would be from the same manufacturer, but no. still, everytime I plug in a cable it fails to get a network address, which is odd - wouldn't appear to be managing the auto DHCP, and obviously wireless appears to be impossible sans drivers | 22:56 |
| dan__ | not at the moment, it's plugged in to my windows box | 22:56 |
| HeaVenGh0st | Daugha|n: what is the command again? | 22:56 |
| Daugha|n | HeaVenGh0st: I said synaptics, I never remember the cli command to repair packages. SOmething like dpkg -a, but there;s more to it. | 22:57 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: You on a laptop? | 22:57 |
| HeaVenGh0st | yes | 22:58 |
| dan__ | well, the install will be on my mini ten, currently I'm on my win7 desktop | 22:58 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Ok, you havent installed on the mini yet? | 22:58 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: The OS, that is. | 22:59 |
| Daugha|n | HeaVenGh0st: From term, hit the up arrow, and you shoud find the command, if you avent closed term since you ran the command. | 22:59 |
| dan__ | it was just a second ago, currently got jolicloud back on it so I can shift out my files | 22:59 |
| HeaVenGh0st | hmm Daugha|n | 23:00 |
| Daugha|n | HeaVenGh0st: term==terminal==konsole All the same | 23:00 |
| HeaVenGh0st | Daugha|n alright cheers | 23:01 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Does the mini connect via wlan right now? | 23:01 |
| dan__ | yep | 23:01 |
| chosig | RiotingPacifist: aah found out how... MEssage > send via... | 23:01 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Are you using the netbook remix for install? | 23:02 |
| e_t_ | HeaVenGh0st: "sudo apt-get -f install" is the command, I think. | 23:02 |
| dan__ | yep. mostly because it looks so shiny. I am using unetbootin to istall of a usb flash drive, though, if that makes any difference. certainly means I can't point the pakcage manager at it to get the drivers fom there | 23:03 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: And how are you trying to install? | 23:03 |
| HeaVenGh0st | e_t_: thanks man going to try now | 23:03 |
| Daugha|n | OK..... | 23:03 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Never dealt with unetbootin....I use livecd or lanboot myself. | 23:04 |
| iconmefisto | HeaVenGh0st: you could also try sudo aptitude -f install rather than apt-get. aptitude is better at analyzing and fixing problems | 23:04 |
| tcarter | how do i uninstall ubuntu 9.04 so i can install windows 7 and the reinstall ubuntu 9.04 for dual boot system? | 23:05 |
| dan__ | far as I can tell, it just puts a bytecopy of the .iso an the pen drive | 23:05 |
| HeaVenGh0st | iconmefisto: wow u guys are such helpful dudes... | 23:05 |
| dan__ | i'd install the dell-specific ubuntu moblin remix, but the interface is grim. | 23:06 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Yeah, thats y understanding as well.....once you install., itrefuses to connect via eth0? | 23:06 |
| dan__ | yup | 23:06 |
| James147 | tcarter: you just need to formate the disk to "uninstall" ubuntu... make sure you back up any data you want to keep first | 23:06 |
| Daugha|n | You usng kubuntu or ubuntu install? | 23:06 |
| dan__ | won't pick up a network address, and like a retard, can't remember what my settings are, and they appear impossible to find under win7 | 23:07 |
| tcarter | james147> what command should i run to do that | 23:07 |
| Daugha|n | dan__: Go inti the router config page,and that will tell you your subnet....And, wired, from left to right is 1,2,3,4, usually. That sould elp you get your local IP. | 23:08 |
| tcarter | james147: what command should i run to do that | 23:08 |
| dan__ | nope, i lie, I can find my ip settings | 23:08 |
| e_t_ | dan__: in Windows, you can open a cmd window and type "ifconfig /all" | 23:08 |
| dan__ | yep, just done it | 23:08 |
| chashall | tcarter, take a look at this http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony | 23:09 |
| chosig | now i remember why i don't use kde (no offense) but it's more unstable than windows... | 23:09 |
| HeaVenGh0st | have we got any virus issues in Ubuntu? | 23:10 |
| chosig | Absolute clean install, Kontact is only thing configured, if you close main window while writing a mail you get seg fault | 23:10 |
| chosig | note word /unstable/ :P | 23:11 |
| chashall | in 10 years i havent had a virus in linux if that tells you anything | 23:11 |
| dan__ | right, sweet, I'll try to get that thing connected in the morning | 23:11 |
| James147 | tcarter: You can do it when your installing windows. Just tell it to reformat the disk when your at the partition slection part of the installer (I would create two partitions when your there anyway, to save you having to shrink the volume later if you want to install kubuntu again) | 23:11 |
| maco | HeaVenGh0st: if you install .debs from random people, anything could be inside them. but no, there are no known viruses in the wild right now that could affect your system | 23:11 |
| chashall | hey maco your back | 23:11 |
| dan__ | thanks guys. have a good evening | 23:11 |
| chosig | Virus' are rare, root kits is another matter | 23:11 |
| HeaVenGh0st | !debs | 23:11 |
| tcarter | chashhall: that link assumes that i either have a clean system or that windows is already installed | 23:11 |
| maco | chashall: yeah im kinda wobbling between naptime and chores-time | 23:12 |
| HeaVenGh0st | what are debs? | 23:12 |
| maco | HeaVenGh0st: .debs are like Setup.exe's | 23:12 |
| chosig | maco: dissconnect brain, nap while choring :P | 23:12 |
| chashall | i had a few questions or suggestions to ask | 23:12 |
| chashall | for | 23:12 |
| tcarter | james147: ubuntu will not recognize my windows disk at startup | 23:12 |
| chashall | if you have time | 23:13 |
| James147 | tcarter: its not ubuntu that looks for the disk at start up, its the bios, make sure you need to configure your bios to boot from cd first | 23:13 |
| cjae | how do I apply settings of one folder to all folders in dolphin? | 23:14 |
| * HeaVenGh0st Sounds good to me about virus's | 23:14 | |
| tcarter | james147: i have done this and have tried two different windows 7 disks (both brand new) and it will not catch it....any other cd will | 23:14 |
| cjae | figured out | 23:15 |
| HeaVenGh0st | which is better Xubuntu vs Ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| maco | HeaVenGh0st: thats not answerable. that's preference. | 23:16 |
| HeaVenGh0st | 256mb Ram 800mHz? now what do u reckon? | 23:16 |
| HeaVenGh0st | maco? | 23:16 |
| maco | xubuntu probably | 23:17 |
| maco | ubuntu wasnt very fast when i had only 192mb ram | 23:17 |
| iconmefisto | HeaVenGh0st: xubuntu is probably more suitable for an underpowered machine. it will run more smoothly | 23:17 |
| maco | so i dont recon itd be very fast on 256 either | 23:17 |
| James147 | tcarter: hmm, sounds like a problem with the disk if others are reconised but that is less likly if you have tryed two | 23:17 |
| HeaVenGh0st | maco: any solution for not getting full resolution size screen on my laptop lcd? | 23:18 |
| Kolia | !ask |chashall | 23:18 |
| ubottu | chashall: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:18 |
| tcarter | james147: can i just reformat the hrdisk...easily? | 23:18 |
| maco | chashall: oh i didnt realise you were talking to me. highlight me please | 23:18 |
| maco | chashall: what's up? | 23:19 |
| chashall | ubottu, ok | 23:19 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:19 |
| chashall | maco i tried a fresh install of 10.04, it went badly on reboot, it kept power cycling my hard drive | 23:19 |
| James147 | tcarter: you can, but I don't see why it would help your problem. If you can't boot the windows install disk now reformatting wouldn't help at all. | 23:19 |
| meowbuntu | how can i mount partitions from live cd | 23:19 |
| maco | chashall: 10.04 stuff goes in #ubuntu+1 | 23:20 |
| maco | chashall: and umm.... given the stompy stompy my flatmate was doing this afternoon when he came home from work... | 23:20 |
| tcarter | james147: any reccomendations? | 23:20 |
| chashall | so i installed 9.1 and it seems to be running stable but want to run the upgrade but i failed to write the instructions down last night, would you please give them to me again? | 23:20 |
| chashall | ok | 23:20 |
| maco | chashall: apparently someone didn't test something they uploaded and so if you have nvidia drivers...booting doesnt work | 23:20 |
| chashall | maco ati | 23:21 |
| maco | i dont know how ati will do | 23:21 |
| maco | he just said "non-free hardware" | 23:21 |
| maco | so that'd be ati, nvidia, broadcom | 23:21 |
| James147 | tcarter: Your sure it is trying to boot from cd/dvd roms first? | 23:21 |
| maco | in his case, either nvidia or broadcom was the issue | 23:21 |
| chashall | it booted and installed but on reboot the hard drive started clicking | 23:21 |
| ilumi | clicking harddrive means it probably went bad | 23:22 |
| chashall | booted mint and the same hard drive works fine so i installed 9.1 and here i be | 23:22 |
| chashall | the drive is fine its just the install went hay wire | 23:22 |
| iconmefisto | chashall: btw, it's 9.10 as in 2009, october | 23:22 |
| tcarter | james147: yes. if i put my ubuntu disk or any other it boots straight from there...but both windows cd's are not even given a second thought....and i have alreadyu loaded 1 machine from one oif the disks | 23:23 |
| chashall | maco should we switch to +1? | 23:23 |
| maco | yeah probably | 23:23 |
| chashall | ok ill switch | 23:23 |
| James147 | tcarter: One thorught is it a cd rom or dvd rom you are useing? | 23:24 |
| tcarter | james147: cdrom | 23:24 |
| James147 | tcarter: I beleave that windows 7 comes on a dvd so your cdrom wont beable to read it | 23:24 |
| HeaVenGh0st | !X | 23:25 |

| James147 | tcarter: need to get a dvd rom to install 7 | 23:25 |
| tcarter | james147: that is probably it then.....thank you for the insight | 23:25 |
| James147 | tcarter: Noproblem | 23:25 |
| HeaVenGh0st | DO i need to restart after installing xubuntu? | 23:28 |
| James147 | HeaVenGh0st: you need to restart from the live cd inorder to boot into it but you can continue to work from the live cd if you want | 23:29 |
| RiotingPacifist | just want to check this is a kdm bug before i file it, basically if i boot to a kernel without ipv6 support i get the following in kdm.log http://pastebin.com/d5d31271c | 23:30 |
| HeaVenGh0st | ohh sorry.. James147 xubuntu from ubuntu.. i have already got ubuntu | 23:30 |
| James147 | HeaVenGh0st: No, you just need to logout and change the session you loginto | 23:31 |
| dawgy_ | anybody here have any success with compiling qgis (src or svn)? I keep getting a sip error and I'm looking for a workaround | 23:31 |
| HeaVenGh0st | James147: thanks.. could you help me to resize the resolution, as i m not getting full resolution in my laptop LCD | 23:32 |
| jb0694 | is kpackage program you use to install software on kubuntu or should i use something else? | 23:33 |
| iconmefisto | jb0694: kpackagekit | 23:33 |
| James147 | jb0694: kpackagekit or you can use what ever you want to | 23:33 |
| jb0694 | what's the diff between kpakcage and kpackagekit? | 23:34 |
| James147 | HeaVenGh0st: Check in the settings you should beable to do it from there if not you might need to edit your xorg.conf file can't really help with that though | 23:35 |
| HeaVenGh0st | James147 thanks anyway | 23:35 |

| James147 | jb0694: I think kpackage was for kde 3.5 kpackagekit is the new one for 4.x | 23:36 |
| alumno00 | Hallo. Can any tell me where can I find Kubuntu 9.10 manuals? Thanks | 23:39 |
| jb0694 | i just installed kpackagekit but how do i launch it? | 23:40 |
| James147 | jb0694: from the menu or typing "kpackagekit" in a terminal | 23:40 |
| guitar431 | all your bases are belong to us | 23:41 |
| iconmefisto | alumno00: are you looking for a general usage guide for the entire system? or something more specific? | 23:43 |
| alumno00 | General and specific. All available information. I've used ku 8.04, but now, I'd like to know new changes... | 23:44 |
| iconmefisto | alumno00: http://kubuntuguide.org/Karmic | 23:45 |
| iconmefisto | alumno00: for more specific things, you'll have to be more specific :) | 23:45 |
| alumno00 | Thanks. I'll read it and ask when finished (in a few days i hope). Thanks | 23:46 |
| jb0694 | a little confused with kpackagekit... first off it appears to have exactly the same functionality as the add/remove software utility already bundled with the OS. my problem is that i want to install a program from my flash drive using kpackage. is this possible or is kpackage only used for installing programs from the online repository? | 23:50 |
| guitar431 | someone set us up the bomb | 23:50 |
| jb0694 | *kpackagekit | 23:50 |
| James147 | jb0694: what format is the file you want to install in *.deb? | 23:50 |
| jb0694 | James147: it's a program called matlab (similar to mathematica or maple)... the program is inside a folder which has a main script file that executes. there are other files and subfolders that the script accesses (i'm guessing) to completely install the program | 23:54 |
| jb0694 | it's not a standalone file that extracts or anything like that... its a script i run which installs the program | 23:55 |
| James147 | jb0694: soulds like you either need to run an instliation script form inside the program (if it has one) or if you can run the program already just copy it to where you want it | 23:55 |
| James147 | jb0694: just run the script in terminal, might need to make it excuatable first (chmod u+x /path/to/file) | 23:56 |
| guitar431 | but the most important thing is that all your base are belong to us | 23:56 |
| jb0694 | James147: i installed it already but it never showed up in the menu as an installed program... i'm trying to do this such that the OS sees this program as installed... no what i mean? | 23:56 |
| James147 | can you run the program from terminal? | 23:57 |
| guitar431 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg | 23:57 |
| jb0694 | i can run the program from terminal after it was installed | 23:58 |
| jb0694 | but it never showed up in the menu as an installed program is the problem | 23:58 |
| iconmefisto | jb0694: so the only problem is it's not in the menu? | 23:59 |
| jb0694 | right... i thought if i installed the program through kpackagekit, the program would show up in the menu | 23:59 |
| James147 | Sounds like the installer dident create a menu entry, you can manually create one if you want to access it from the menu (right click kmenu >> menu editor >> new item >> ...) | 23:59 |
