| wizkoder | hy everybody | 00:39 |
| wizkoder | the microblogging plasmoid asks for my password every 5 minutes. even if I say remember password. Can I prevent that? | 00:40 |
| maco | give it the right password next time? | 00:40 |
| Izinucs | Is there a way to put a program shortcut on a panel. | 00:43 |
| aperson | Izinucs, yep, just add a launcher | 00:48 |
| Izinucs | aperson: as a widgit? | 00:48 |
| aperson | Izinucs, a widget, yes | 00:48 |
| Izinucs | aperson: that would be Lancelot? | 00:49 |
| wizkoder | maco: I entered my email and password like on the page. Does the plasmoid have problems with that? Mean do I have to use the username? | 00:49 |
| maco | yeah use the username | 00:49 |
| aperson | Izinucs, no, just drag an app from your menu | 00:49 |
| Izinucs | aperson: ah so easy I missed it.. :/ | 00:50 |
| Izinucs | aperson: I was expecting something more like.. right mouse click .. add launcher.. enter program name and find appropriate Icon .. etc etc etc | 00:50 |
| aperson | Izinucs, there is a widget for launchers (everything is a widget, btw) | 00:51 |
| aperson | lancelot is not that though | 00:51 |
| aperson | I'd take some time and go through your available widgets and see what you can add :) | 00:51 |
| Izinucs | k.. got 'em all configured.. fast and easy.. thanks aperson. I've looked at the widgets.. some are easy to know what they are .. others are a bit more mysterious.. new to kde but been on gnome for 5 years.. | 00:52 |
| werfact | what are some nice gadgets to make it a linux media player? i was thinking psp, but maybe there is something better? | 00:54 |
| aperson | Is there a way to get rid of activities? It's horribly slow and I don't use them | 00:56 |
| jepong | anyone using KDE SC 4.4 RC2 here? just want to confirm if you also cant add the battery and device widget to the system tray | 00:57 |
| Izinucs | What tool do I use to log into another machine on my LAN.. (not samba.. I know about that.. ) .. do I have to do it through dolphin? or is there a "remote server login" appelate? | 00:57 |
| jepong | im using msi wind u100 | 00:58 |
| aperson | Izinucs, define 'log in' | 01:00 |
| Izinucs | aperson: just to access a share on another computer. | 01:00 |
| jepong | i think what he means is he want to remote access another pc | 01:00 |
| aperson | jepong, I realize this, there are many ways to do this. | 01:00 |
| jepong | like grab the screen | 01:00 |
| Izinucs | jepong: no.. just access a shared folder | 01:01 |
| aperson | jepong, we can let Izinucs speak for their self :) | 01:01 |
| aperson | jepong, I usually use sshfs or scp | 01:01 |
| aperson | err | 01:01 |
| aperson | Izinucs, * | 01:01 |
| Izinucs | dolphin has a "Network" icon for access.. just wondering if there is anything else.. it's a windows machine that I need to get into | 01:01 |
| aperson | Izinucs, well, samba *is* the way to go then | 01:02 |
| Izinucs | as the protocol.. no problem.. I can see I've gotta make some changes anyway to samba | 01:02 |

| Fanfare | Hi Folks, Q: I'd like to check my xorg.conf to tune my nvidia someone know a good resource with hints? | 01:10 |
| aperson | Fanfare, why are you editing it manually? | 01:12 |
| aperson | nvidia-settings should be able to do everything | 01:12 |
| Fanfare | aperson: i usually have twinview enabled... nvidia-settings creates xorg.conf. i plan to record some kde 4.4 desktop effects so i just want to check its really set optimal... | 01:14 |
| Fanfare | for the recordings i have to set twinview of and set a low resolution... | 01:14 |
| aperson | Fanfare, nvidia-settings can do all of that | 01:14 |
| aperson | I personally would find it easier to go through that than editing the file directly | 01:15 |
| Fanfare | aperson: my initial xorg.conf was created using nvidia-settings, thought there might be some tricks... | 01:15 |
| aperson | Nothing really that it can't do for you | 01:16 |
| aperson | if you want to do some hackish things, sure | 01:16 |
| aperson | anything else, you're just making things harder for you | 01:16 |
| Fanfare | aperson: ok, well just something that might be common but not set by nvsettings ... | 01:17 |
| aperson | there isn't really anything you *can't* set, unless you have some really specific requirements and your hardware isn't properly detected | 01:18 |
| aperson | but that generally isn't the case | 01:18 |
| Fanfare | ok, then i simply use nvidia-settings to creade my recording xorg.conf... easy enough :-) | 01:19 |
| aperson | the one thing I had to hand edit for | 01:20 |
| aperson | was to use twinview and xinerama | 01:20 |
| aperson | which you generally don't do | 01:20 |
| Fanfare | but that can do nvidea-settings too... | 01:20 |
| aperson | I've never been able to use both at the same time | 01:21 |
| aperson | ie: have one big desktop across two monitors | 01:21 |
| Fanfare | aperson: ? well, i use it atm... GeForce 5700 | 01:22 |
| aperson | I have a 8600 | 01:22 |
| aperson | Fanfare, does your logon screen appear on one screen, both, or in the middle? | 01:23 |
| Fanfare | aperson: and nvidia-settings cant set your xorg to use twinview? make your desktop like 2x1280x1024? | 01:23 |
| aperson | it can | 01:23 |
| Fanfare | it apeares on the primary monitor | 01:23 |
| aperson | mine appears in between both | 01:23 |
| aperson | because I have one big 'span' | 01:23 |
| aperson | you have just twinview | 01:24 |
| Fanfare | I'll post my xorg.conf!? | 01:24 |
| aperson | I know what you have | 01:24 |
| aperson | you *don't* have it set up as I have mine | 01:24 |
| aperson | you have a desktop with a display added on, it's treated as two monitors | 01:25 |
| aperson | my two is treated as one | 01:25 |
| Fanfare | iirc if i move my mouse to the secondary monitor before the login apears its shown there... | 01:25 |
| Fanfare | mine too, at least in krandrtray... | 01:26 |
| aperson | yeah, you're just using twinview | 01:26 |
| Fanfare | so, whats the benefits in your setup then? | 01:26 |
| aperson | compiz works on both screens | 01:27 |
| Fanfare | a ok... | 01:27 |
| aperson | and you can drag windows back and forth with no problems | 01:27 |
| * avihay is searching for a music player | 01:27 | |
| Fanfare | i dont use compiz but kwin effects on both... | 01:27 |
| Fanfare | well, i can do too... | 01:28 |
| Fanfare | avihay: not happy with amarok? | 01:28 |
| avihay | no, too many stupid bugs | 01:28 |
| Fanfare | avihay: hope u reported them then... | 01:29 |
| avihay | it sometimes stops playing after songs, and the only way to make it work is to select another song from the playlist | 01:29 |
| aperson | yes, but did you report it? | 01:30 |
| avihay | I can't reproduce the bug, so I don't see too much point in reporting it | 01:30 |
| avihay | the way I stopped the bug from happening this time was to let amarok do nothing for 6 hours (or in other words, I was away from the computer, and no it's solved) | 01:32 |
| avihay | no->now | 01:32 |

| Daughain | I might have.=) But, Inknow there is a way to do it from cli, which means there has to be a conf file of some kind to edit as well. And, since eth0 is working, the file is still there. | 01:53 |

| lord-rahl | lzinucs, then samba not installed. samba the server part smbfs is install by default so you can browse windows shares 'sudo apt-get install samba' | 02:35 |
| Izinucs | lord-rahl: thats what I did just before my last post.. I also included smbfs which wasn't installed by default on my system despite being able to add a network folder to Dolphin.. I find that strange | 02:37 |
| lord-rahl | Daughain, I am not sure then. i not sure what would cause this. when you installed kubuntu did you make a separate partition for your home drive | 02:38 |
| lord-rahl | lzinucs, :) seen that as i hit enter | 02:38 |
| Daughain | lord-rahl: Firstly, I installed kubuntu-desktop from gnome, I wonder if my problem might be in gnome....??? | 02:39 |

| lord-rahl | Daughain, hhhmmm dude I dont know. If your home is backup I would just reinstall back up .local .kde .config then put them back so you dont have to reconfigure your apps again | 02:55 |

| avi_ | @ daughain i tried that | 03:01 |
| avi_ | but theres 25+ packages | 03:01 |
| Izinucs | lord-rahl: by name meaning I open Dolphin, click the Network Icon on the left, click either Network or Samba Shares and I should see listed share machines on the LAN? .. doesn't work | 03:01 |
| avi_ | i just wanted a single thing to kill ALL kubuntu traces | 03:01 |
| Daughain | avi_: More than that if you install the way I do.=) | 03:01 |
| Zybeon | lord-rahl, I have ran 9.04 just fine before. it is detected in the installer. I set up a few partitions. I have 4x 500gb drives in raid5. 100gb ext4. 10gb swap 100gb NFTS. and some 1k+ as FAT32 as data | 03:01 |

| Daughain | Purge!!!! That was the command I couldnt remember. =) | 03:02 |
| avi_ | right; thats what lard-rahl's link suggested. | 03:02 |
| Daughain | OK, off for coffe. | 03:02 |
| Izinucs | avi_: so copy and paste it in a terminal.. one step.. make sure you have gnome installed though | 03:02 |
| avi_ | Well I can't copy; im typing this on a different computer, but yeah, i instealled Ubuntu first, wanted to try Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Fluxbox, but didn't like any of them. | 03:03 |
| Zybeon | lord-rahl, what makes it difficult is my drive is /dev/mapper/nvidia_afeigibi | 03:04 |
| lord-rahl | Zybeon, I am not sure I think they updated grub in 9.10 maybe someone can corret me | 03:04 |
| Izinucs | grub2 | 03:04 |
| avi_ | Working... looks good guys; thanks. | 03:05 |
| Izinucs | bubuy | 03:05 |
| Zybeon | lord-rahl, I mounted the drive used chroot to get in it and tried installing it that way but said grub wasn't install of course and I couldn't install it like that. | 03:05 |
| Zybeon | doing "sudo grub" then "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns a could not be found | 03:07 |
| lord-rahl | Zybeon, only thing I can suggets is install the server see if you can get it going. boot in a live cd and grub not install on the local hard drive. I am not sure what can be done. I am know way and expert on grub so take what i say with a grain of salt | 03:08 |
| lord-rahl | lzinucs, so you can not see the server name in Dolphine when you click on samba shares? | 03:10 |
| Zybeon | I am going to just try using the entire hd and let it auto config to see if it actually does work then go from there. thanks though. just hoped to find someone with the same problem that fixed it | 03:11 |

| Duskao | hey, does anyone know how to rollback kde to 4.3 from 4.4rc2? | 04:56 |
| iconmefisto | has anyone here ever tried to make a kde4 plasma widget? is it something I could do as a learning exercise? (I have not much coding experience beyond html) | 05:00 |
| Duskao | sorry, nope | 05:00 |
| Duskao | do you know how to revert back to kde 4.3 from 4.4? | 05:01 |
| iconmefisto | Duskao: I don't know how successful it would be, but you could remove all kde packages, change your apt sources back, clear out the apt .deb archives, then install kubuntu-desktop again | 05:02 |
| Duskao | how can I restart the xserver? ctrl + alt + backspace isn't working anymore. | 05:05 |
| iconmefisto | Duskao: you can enable ctrl-alt-bsp in systemsettings | 05:06 |
| Duskao | where in system settings? | 05:06 |
| iconmefisto | country/region & language, kbd layout, enable keyboard layouts, and in advanced tab, "key sequence to kill the X server" | 05:08 |
| Duskao | ok, thanks | 05:09 |
| iconmefisto | hard to find | 05:09 |
| Duskao | seems to be lol | 05:09 |
| Duskao | wonder why they dropped that? | 05:09 |
| iconmefisto | new users probably accidentally doing that and thinking something is wrong? my delete and backspace keys are right next to each other | 05:10 |
| Duskao | perhaps | 05:11 |
| Duskao | thanks a bunch | 05:11 |
| iconmefisto | no prob | 05:11 |
| Duskao | you get your printer stuff working? | 05:11 |
| iconmefisto | no | 05:11 |
| iconmefisto | printer is set up ok, but I wanted to figure out the error | 05:12 |
| Duskao | still quite a few bugs with 4.4 that need to be rectified for this to be a rc2 don't ya think? or is this just how kde works? | 05:12 |
| iconmefisto | yeah, lots to fix. since kde4, it seems things are terribly buggy, then almost everything is fixed and/or improved, then more bugs, and so on | 05:13 |
| Duskao | hmmm, well I think they are going a good direction anyway. | 05:13 |
| Duskao | lots of little things that make it feel alot more refined and up to date. | 05:14 |
| Duskao | you been getting many xserver crashes? | 05:14 |
| iconmefisto | yeah, just not bulletproof like kde3 was just yet | 05:15 |
| Duskao | or plasma crashes? | 05:15 |
| Kage | Night! | 05:15 |
| Duskao | I only tried kde 3 a couple times, I actually hated it. I went gnome and became a gnome fanboy lol, but then got sick of it. Seems like it's stuck in a time warp. | 05:16 |
| iconmefisto | I'm using ati open source driver, and X never crashes. plasma crashes sometimes, when I'm trying new panel widgets or something | 05:16 |
| Duskao | well, catch you later. Gonna try to do a bit of gaming. | 05:16 |
| iconmefisto | I haven't really ever given gnome a fair chance. I'll have to force myself to try it for a few months | 05:17 |

| iconmefisto | so you're reinstalling from scratch? or installing kubuntu-desktop? | 05:50 |
| BenPA | Hi all ...has anyone else one had this problem ... installed kubuntu 9.04 on Dell inspiron 2650 and kernel 2.6.28-17-generic will not load but 2.6.27-16-generic will | 05:52 |
| iconmefisto | probably many people have had that kind of problem | 05:54 |
| iconmefisto | do you need the 28-17 kernel for any particular reason? | 05:54 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: is there a fix or can I uninstall 28-17 | 05:55 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: not at the moment but I guess I found the wall for the last upgrade for this machine I am guessing | 05:56 |
| iconmefisto | there is quite possibly a fix. you could google the kernel no. and maybe some of your hardware? | 05:56 |
| iconmefisto | how far does it get in the boot process? | 05:57 |
| silv3r_m00n | i want to disable these popups >> http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3108/snapshot1c.png | 05:57 |
| silv3r_m00n | how ? | 05:57 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: I changed the boot order in the menu.lst so 27-16 boots first | 05:57 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: it list the boot info then freezes the (hd 0,0) etc | 05:58 |
| === xrandr is now known as Guest90240 | ||
| iconmefisto | BenPA: well the easiest thing to do is ignore that kernel, maybe try it again if there is an update to that kernel | 06:04 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: ok, do you think I should report it? I know others have reported issues but it appears this is the point where something changed | 06:05 |
| iconmefisto | I remember having problems with some kernels in jaunty, but in karmic (with more recent kernels) they have all worked, same hardware | 06:05 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: well due to grub2 and ext4 issues I have not been able to upgrade or even install the newest version | 06:06 |
| iconmefisto | BenPA: I suppose reporting it is the right thing to do. but you'll probably need to gather info about it to be useful to anyone | 06:07 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: ok thanks | 06:07 |
| iconmefisto | BenPA: I upgraded from jaunty and it kept ext3 and grub. I had to manually install grub2 | 06:08 |
| iconmefisto | BenPA: so you tried upgrading to karmic and it failed? | 06:09 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: I could not even get past the startup ... even to install this back onto this laptop I had to install 8.10 then upgrade to 9.04 then I ran into this kernel issue | 06:09 |
| BenPA | iconmefisto: yes, and it hosed my laptop | 06:10 |

| mfed | Hi all. I found that KDE apps are extremely verbose when started from a terminal. Can I somehow suppress these annoying log messages? | 08:58 |
| iconmefisto | rethus: well that expanding folders behaviour seems to work in dolphin, so I would look in kmail settings to find it. | 08:59 |
| rethus | you can on starting this application : kmail >> kmail.log should work | 08:59 |
| rethus | iconmefisto: interesting... why in dolphin... doesn't this are completly own apps? | 09:00 |
| iconmefisto | rethus: I thought if both dolphin and kmail don't expand the folders when hovering with the mouse, it must be a global setting in systemsettings. | 09:02 |
| rethus | what u think, where have i to search for it? | 09:02 |
| mfed | rethus: thx, redirection of stderr works but I thought about some more general solution. Explicing redirection on each startup is annoying too | 09:03 |
| rethus | every startup... this wil cause in many spacewasting big logfiles... why u need this? | 09:07 |
| silv3r_m00n | how do i disable these folder previews >> http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3108/snapshot1c.png | 09:07 |
| rethus | iconmefisto: i have tryed and it work in dolphin to drag and drop and open subfolders. | 09:10 |
| rethus | but not in kmail | 09:10 |
| iconmefisto | rethus: I can't find anything in kmail settings. there must be a way | 09:12 |
| rethus | me too, therefor i ask here... same problem with icons in kmail | 09:12 |
| iconmefisto | mfed: if you don't want to create log files, you could do it like this: kate 2>/dev/null | 09:13 |
| rethus | before i could only just click on the Icon in front off a new message to mar it as readed, or on a readed message to mar it as unreaded... now i have to use kontext >> mark message >> unreaded. | 09:13 |
| rethus | i wonder why this great features away? | 09:13 |
| iconmefisto | rethus: there is a way to change that. I'll see if I can find it | 09:16 |
| mfed | iconmefisto: I know but I would like to avoid to call the redirection explicitly each time I run a kde app from konsole | 09:17 |
| rethus | iconmefisto: i have try to modify the template, but didn't found a solution to get the icons clickable (some work... like thj Icon Importent) but other not | 09:17 |
| iconmefisto | mfed: if you did do it, it might have unintended consequences. eg, scripts may not echo text to console when they need to and redirect the messages instead | 09:18 |
| mfed | I suppose there should be some method to change logging policy for all kde apps but i can't google it | 09:18 |
| rethus | mfed: write a small bash-script and give the application as parm1... into the script u do something like | 09:19 |
| rethus | !#/bin/bash | 09:19 |
| rethus | $1 >> mysyslog.log | 09:19 |
| rethus | each time u call your script, the app would create your log | 09:19 |
| rethus | or use $1 >> $2 | 09:19 |
| rethus | and set the name of the logscript as parm2 | 09:19 |
| iconmefisto | mfed: or you could make an alias. eg alias qu="2>/dev/null" so you could start programs like this: kate qu (qu for "quiet"). I think that would work, and not to much to type | 09:21 |
| mfed | iconmefisto: thx, it seems to be reasonable workaround | 09:22 |
| mfed | rethus: thx, sounds good but I'll try the trick with alias first | 09:25 |
| rethus | your welcome | 09:28 |
| upgrayedd | anyone need help? | 09:31 |
| upgrayedd | anyone need help? | 09:38 |

| shadeslayer | alvin: we get the OS for free,but its not actually freee for cannonical :( | 11:25 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: they have to pay the devs and for webhosting and for servers etc | 11:25 |
| alvin | shadeslayer: True, and Ubuntu has some extra software added, like upstart, that needs payed developers to debug. | 11:26 |
| alvin | I've read somewhere that Debian will also start using upstart | 11:26 |
| alvin | or plymouth as it is called now | 11:27 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: yep | 11:28 |
| * shadeslayer waits for a 10 second boot on 10.10 | 11:28 | |
| shadeslayer | or on 10.04 | 11:28 |
| alvin | Well, in that case, I will start paying Canonical in a few weeks. There are some serious bugs in the boot process, and if everyone is using it, it does not make sense to switch distribution to find something more stable. (Don't get me wrong. I think upstart is a good idea, but it's not a finished product) | 11:29 |
| alvin | On desktops, 10 second boot is nice, but on servers you want a successfull boot. Ever seen a Solaris server boot? Takes 10 minutes | 11:30 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: thats why the ISO's are alpha and not the final thing,upstart was introduced in 9.10 but currently just mimics sysinitv | 11:31 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: :o | 11:31 |
| alvin | I'm under the impression that 9.10 wasn't tested very well. Samba servers do not start at boot, NFS/CIFS mounts do not come up at boot. libvirt-bin can't start NFS shares at boot, A separate /boot partition will halt your boot, NFS mounts 'can' halt your boot, grub (beta!) can crash your boot.... All in all, Karmic is currently a horrible experience at work. | 11:32 |
| alvin | I administer a network with Kubuntu desktops. All users are using a shared /home. Upgrading was a nightmare. (still is. I stopped upgrading after 10 machines.) | 11:33 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: hehe.... well i think 10.04 will be good in all those areas | 11:34 |
| alvin | I'm currenly explaining my boss that we better pay Canonical in order to get some support for this | 11:34 |
| alvin | shadeslayer: I'm pretty sure it will be a whole lot better, yes. But it's 3 months away | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: yeah.. | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: any ideas how one can get the root grub values in grub 2? like in grub 1 we did find /boot/grub/stage1 | 11:36 |
| alvin | shadeslayer: I think /etc/default/grub | 11:37 |
| shadeslayer | alvin: um nope.. | 11:40 |
| Mudassar | hello all | 11:52 |
| Mudassar | I need some help installing kubuntu | 11:52 |
| Mudassar | anybody here ? | 11:52 |
| alvin | !anyone | Mudassar | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Mudassar: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:54 |
| Mudassar | My Scenario: My DVD Drive was not working and there was grub error, so I PXE-installed ubuntu 9.10 from windows machine with LAN attached to both (via a router), now it has successfully installed ubuntu 9.10 but I can only see the shell and not any gui environment ... I wanted to install kubuntu 9.10. What to do now ? | 11:55 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: did you not try a USB install? | 11:55 |
| Mudassar | USB booting is not supported in my laptop | 11:55 |
| alvin | Mudassar: If the installation was completed successfully, It is possible that your video card is not supported | 11:56 |
| Mudassar | Actually I didn't selected anything like kde or gnome environment, because the link was creating problem and I installed very basic things so that I can upgrade it when basic system is installed | 11:57 |
| alvin | Mudassar: If you did a command line install (not bad), just log in and type $ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 11:57 |
| === betinho is now known as tumaix | ||
| alvin | Mudassar: Then you have ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-basic installed. That's very good. Now just install kubuntu-desktop and you're set. | 11:58 |
| Mudassar | one more thing, during installation, it asked me for the username/password for one user, I specified one... But what is the password of root, I didn't specify anywhere.... but now I can't do su as it doesn't accept any password | 11:58 |
| alvin | !root | 11:58 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:58 |
| Mudassar | you mean I do only sudo apt-get install kubuntu-dektop, then it will not ask me for root password ? | 11:59 |
| Fleck | Mudassar yes, asks for YOUR password ;) | 12:01 |
| Mudassar | but I don't know the root password, where is it stored ? | 12:01 |
| Fleck | Mudassar YOUR pass | 12:01 |
| Mudassar | during installation it has not asked me for the root password | 12:01 |
| Fleck | not roots | 12:02 |
| Mudassar | I am not getting your point Fleck | 12:02 |
| Fleck | sudo will ask for YOUR password | 12:02 |
| Mudassar | that I specified while creating the new user ? | 12:02 |
| Fleck | enter password you entered at install | 12:02 |
| Fleck | also you can set root password with sudo :) | 12:03 |
| Fleck | sudo passwd for example ;) | 12:03 |
| Mudassar | will it ask me for the previous password ? | 12:03 |
| Fleck | sudo -s will make you "stay" in root shell | 12:03 |
| Fleck | Mudassar no, there is no roots password by default | 12:04 |
| Mudassar | ok thanks | 12:04 |
| Fleck | *root | 12:04 |
| Mudassar | let me try that | 12:04 |
| jussi01 | !supportroot | Fleck | 12:09 |
| ubottu | Fleck: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 12:09 |
| Fleck | jussi01 i do :P | 12:10 |
| Fleck | jussi01 but i agree, no sense to create root password | 12:11 |
| Fleck | there we go again... | 12:12 |
| Fleck | omg :) | 12:13 |
| Fleck | jussi01 i agree, no sense to create root password | 12:13 |

| pensacola | nowadays not that different, a logical disk is part of a larger 'group', while a primary is on itself | 14:44 |
| shadeslayer | hmm | 14:44 |
| pensacola | windows needs a primary partition to boot if I remember correctly | 14:44 |
| cinex | ya nd windows always installs it on /dev/sda1 | 14:45 |
| cinex | so if u delete that one your stuffed | 14:45 |
| shadeslayer | and can swap be a logical partition? | 14:45 |
| pensacola | yes it can | 14:45 |
| cinex | chmod g+s <group> :) | 14:46 |
| shadeslayer | ok then,ill download the gparted live cd,remove my swap partition,make it logical,reactivate as swap and make 2 new primary partitions | 14:46 |
| cinex | chmod g+s <dir> even :) | 14:47 |

| cinex | shadeslayer: do u have a disk that you can completly reconfigure? | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | think of a ntfs as primary and ext as primary , other partiyions on those files systems are logicals | 14:47 |
| cinex | do u care about the data on it ? | 14:47 |

| shadeslayer | cinex: but since now i have 3 primary partitions already... | 14:50 |
| cinex | oh, well grub as a boot manager would boot them all eh, just install windows first | 14:51 |
| cinex | otherwise windows wipes grup (no big deal but still apain) | 14:51 |
| shadeslayer | brb... | 14:51 |
| cinex | primary, logical , meh | 14:51 |
| cinex | as long as u treat windows properly, linux can do whatever (probably windows can to, but I dont know) | 14:52 |

| UK-DO | no | 15:04 |
| UK-DO | I mean how do I dial my broadband with KPPP | 15:04 |
| UK-DO | I don't know how to find a modem in Kubuntu 9.10 | 15:04 |

| daskreech | !ppp | 15:05 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 15:05 |

| daskreech | Ah that might work | 15:05 |
| UK-DO | My ethernet adapters are connected but I can't dial my internet with KPPP | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | UK-DO, why dialup if you have broadband ? | 15:06 |
| UK-DO | It's PPP | 15:06 |
| UK-DO | thats all I know | 15:06 |
| UK-DO | I'm not really a techie | 15:06 |

| cinex | figured it out | 15:17 |
| cinex | no I havent | 15:17 |
| cinex | yeah I have | 15:17 |
| UK-DO | Isn't there any way to solve "No modem found problem" ? | 15:18 |
| genii | UK-DO: You probably have whats called a "winmodem". If so they are problemmatic to set up under linux but not imposssible, depending on who made them and what kind (HSF or HCF). If it shows up in result of: lspci -nn then there's a chance | 15:20 |
| UK-DO | I can't possibly know the device which is my virtual modem. I can controll my ethernet device only | 15:22 |

| cinex | but, you could also use cfdisk as your ap | 16:24 |
| cinex | less memory etc | 16:24 |
| cinex | you could also get an emergy linux cd with cfdisk on it | 16:25 |

| cinex | and you have an entire disk to wipe? | 16:38 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: no.. cant wipe my disk... | 16:38 |
| cinex | or are you trying to juggle it around data you need to keep | 16:38 |

| ubottu | vit__: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 16:39 |
| cinex | I mean how is your disk now ? | 16:39 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: the absolute last partition.. a logical partition | 16:39 |
| cinex | do you intend to have a ntfs partition all operating systems can access? | 16:39 |
| cinex | ok | 16:39 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: yeah | 16:40 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: i want it like this : http://imagebin.ca/view/YDkx4y.html | 16:40 |
| cinex | what's sda1 for ? | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: and i have it like this currently : http://imagebin.ca/view/ov68DHO.html | 16:41 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: windows | 16:41 |
| cinex | ok | 16:41 |
| * shadeslayer cant find a write partition table in the kubuntu installer | 16:42 | |
| cinex | so format that as primary and leave it at that. then transfer all your data to it. then wipe the rest of the disk. (delete all paritions). then create everything else as logical in the free space | 16:42 |
| cinex | create an vfat drive. copy all the data onto it. | 16:42 |
| cinex | install windows | 16:42 |
| cinex | get all your data inside windows | 16:42 |
| cinex | then start paritioning logical paritions for the rest of the operating systems | 16:42 |
| cinex | then install them | 16:42 |
| cinex | or even | 16:42 |
| cinex | get the installers to configure the disk | 16:43 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: lol... how do i transfer 200 GB of data on a 60 GB partition? | 16:43 |
| cinex | what version of windows? | 16:43 |
| cinex | vista? | 16:43 |
| cinex | windows will let you shrink the partition and linux installers will let you parition from the end to front | 16:43 |
| cinex | so you could build your disk backwards | 16:44 |
| shadeslayer | yeah hold on | 16:44 |
| cinex | if its xp your installing you will need to use partition magic to shrink it | 16:44 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: i havevista | 16:44 |
| cinex | but, to juggle 200GB of data is very brave and you should consider a new disk | 16:44 |
| cinex | this, in my experience, goes wrong | 16:44 |
| shadeslayer | and woh yah | 16:45 |
| cinex | vista will let u shrink the parition whilst it is running | 16:45 |
| shadeslayer | i killed ubiquity as soon as it wrote out the partition table | 16:45 |
| cinex | on the fly | 16:45 |
| shadeslayer | :) | 16:45 |
| daskreech | cinex: I use status.net | 16:45 |
| cinex | where will the 200GB of data finaly be ? | 16:45 |

| rolsworth | thinking about installing ubuntu again but the UI is terrible imo. the kubuntu UI is much better but the last time i tries it was buggy | 16:52 |
| rolsworth | is it better now? | 16:52 |
| cinex | shadeslayer: get a new disk | 16:52 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: apparently not :) | 16:52 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: i blew up my kubuntu install :P | 16:52 |
| cinex | too much data. | 16:52 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: whae was it? | 16:53 |
| shadeslayer | got to reinstall kubuntu :D | 16:53 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: when? | 16:53 |
| rolsworth | just after the new update back in october | 16:53 |
| cinex | shadeslayer: how did you fry it ? | 16:53 |
| cinex | maybe u can fix it ? | 16:53 |
| cinex | grub not found ? | 16:53 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: cant find the kernel,drops to intrifams | 16:53 |
| shadeslayer | or whatever its called | 16:54 |
| cinex | you formated sda1 ? | 16:54 |
| EagleScreen | no major changes between 9.10 released in October and now, but it is not buggy for me | 16:54 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: nope,ubiquity started writing to my actual / too | 16:54 |
| cinex | oh ok | 16:54 |
| shadeslayer | apparently i wasnt quick enough :P | 16:54 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: maybe i can chroot into it and save somethings... | 16:54 |
| rolsworth | should i install ubuntu then install kde or just install ubuntu | 16:55 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: what bug did you find in Kubuntu? | 16:55 |
| cinex | rolsworth: if u want kde install kubuntu or you can do sudo apt-get install kubunut-desktop from within ubuntu | 16:55 |
| cinex | apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 16:56 |
| rolsworth | what i don't get is why ubuntu get so much love and kde desktop is so much better | 16:56 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: nope... /proc and /sys nuked too :( | 16:56 |
| cinex | /proc is virtual | 16:56 |
| cinex | its not really there, I mean it is there but its created when u boot | 16:56 |
| cinex | i think | 16:56 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: no /bin/bash too :) | 16:57 |
| cinex | the kernel creates it | 16:57 |
| cinex | The Proc psuedo file system is a real time, memory resident file system | 16:57 |
| cinex | that tracks the processes running on your machine and the state of your | 16:57 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: I think Kuubntu 9.10 hasn'e important bug in its GUI | 16:57 |

| rolsworth | last question. is 64bit stable? | 16:57 |
| shadeslayer | all over again | 16:57 |
| shadeslayer | rolsworth: yeah | 16:57 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: less than 32 bits | 16:58 |
| rolsworth | maybe i should stick with 32bit then | 16:58 |
| rolsworth | i have 8gb in my pc | 16:58 |
| * shadeslayer thanks god that he exported his gpg keys just before this crisi | 16:58 | |
| EagleScreen | yes may be you should | 16:58 |
| shadeslayer | *crisis | 16:58 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: 8 GB are enought, a Kubuntu fresh installation uses 2.2 GB | 16:59 |
| rolsworth | i was thinking about trying 64bit since i have so much ram | 17:00 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: if you like KDE and you find problems with Kubuntu, try OpenSuse out | 17:00 |
| rolsworth | but from what i hear ubuntu 64bit isn't that stable | 17:00 |
| EagleScreen | rolsworth: how much RAM? | 17:00 |
| rolsworth | 8gb | 17:01 |
| kubian | rolsworth: i've been using 64-bit for the last 4yrs | 17:01 |
| EagleScreen | you may use your 8 GB of RAM with 32 bits + kernel-PAE | 17:02 |
| EagleScreen | 64 bits is stable except for some few thinks | 17:02 |
| kubian | rolsworth: if u have 64-bit box cpu use 64-bit..much faster | 17:02 |
| caerbannog | anyone here uses omnibook drivers? | 17:03 |
| EagleScreen | for instance, flash is not very stable in 64 bits, and in general, there is still more software for 32 bits then for 64 | 17:03 |
| kubian | EagleScreen: 64bit flash has been very stable for the past 2 years | 17:04 |
| EagleScreen | for instance, you can download Adobe packages for its website only for 32 bits, or flash package only for 32 bits, but you should find almost all in the repositories for 64 bits | 17:04 |
| caerbannog | well, at least 64 is actively developed, soon 32-bit platforms will be in the past, and 8bit=) | 17:04 |
| EagleScreen | kubian: it isn't yet for me | 17:04 |
| caerbannog | but now if u use 64 bit platform, there really still are some problems | 17:06 |
| EagleScreen | many libraries or software is not really prepared for 64 bits, like wine, flash... and you need to use and install the 32bits libraries too plus some wrapper in order to software work | 17:06 |
| kubian | EagleScreen: Adobe labs has 64-bit flash for the longest time. it uses the same code as 32-bit stable | 17:06 |
| EagleScreen | wine and many other studd need 32 bit libraries plus wrappers, and some day you may need a package for some third party application and find only 32 bits packages | 17:08 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: ok ive decided that im going to have a seprate /home | 17:08 |
| shadeslayer | cinex: ill be installing dev packages and stuff.. | 17:09 |
| EagleScreen | but companies and developers only will be forced to develop for 64 bits architecture when users switch to 64 bits, if we never switch, they won't never be forced | 17:09 |
| shadeslayer | anyone who has some opinions? | 17:09 |
| kubian | shadeslayer: go aheadgo ahead | 17:10 |
| shadeslayer | kubian: i mean,what size should the partitions be :P | 17:10 |
| kubian | shadeslayer: i sue 10g for my root and then have about 20 for my home..or depends on how much you have and what you store in your home | 17:11 |
| kubian | *use | 17:11 |
| shadeslayer | hmm | 17:12 |
| shadeslayer | looks goo | 17:12 |
| shadeslayer | d | 17:12 |
| shadeslayer | kubian: ext4 or ntfs for /home ? | 17:14 |
| EagleScreen | ext4, ntfs is not for /home | 17:14 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 17:14 |
| EagleScreen | is not possible to use a ntfs for /home without a lot of problems | 17:15 |
| kubian | shadeslayer: you can even have separate large data partitions which you can link to your home/Music | Dowloads | Pictures | Documents | 17:15 |

| anirban-kde | Oh, thanks | 17:49 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: you have 9.10 right? | 17:50 |
| genii | So conceivably Photon Plus uses some USB adapter which behaves as a dial-in modem and it's not correctly working? | 17:50 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Sorry, but I have 9.04, not yet upgraded | 17:50 |
| shadeslayer | genii: well ive seen one of those devices adn its a plug and play USB modem and connects over cellphone towers | 17:51 |

| anirban-kde | genii: No, it is running nicely, | 17:51 |
| anirban-kde | genii: But only under sudo command. | 17:51 |
| shadeslayer | ah,,, | 17:51 |
| genii | shadeslayer: Yes, we have these "Rocket Sticks" that Rogers Communications uses here. | 17:51 |
| shadeslayer | genii: hehe,rocket sticks.... unfourtunately reliance doesnt bundle any software for ubuntu .. | 17:52 |

| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: yeah i know about that :) | 17:53 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: unfortunately i didnt know about wvdial and KPPP when i introduced my freind to Kubuntu,so i couldnt get his net working :P | 17:54 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: :) Well then... | 17:54 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Oh, did you try Google search? | 17:54 |

| shadeslayer | fortunately he now has a proper wifi connection :) | 17:55 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Nice, | 17:55 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: anyways you were saying something about using sudo ? | 17:55 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Yes, the problem is that, only if I run "sudo kppp", it connects to the net, otherwise, it fails | 17:56 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: USing sudo all the time is risky, since it grants root-rights, | 17:56 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: hmm.. maybe because it requires proper access to the usb device? | 17:57 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: also please use kdesudo with gui apps | 17:57 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Actually, I configured the device, still it fails. | 17:57 |

| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: configured the device for what? | 17:57 |
| UK-DO | Hello ppl. When I use sudo pppoeconf in Kubuntu it says nothing found; no modem found But when I start windows PPPoE is there and it's working. How am I gonna update without net :( | 17:58 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: I am using that for a few days | 17:58 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: For KPPP, setting the Modem to be /dev/ttyUSB0 | 17:59 |
| anirban-kde | Then it works nicely, under "sudo" rights, :) | 17:59 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Anyway, this is not a problem, just requires to enter the password again and again, :) | 18:00 |
| UK-DO | I tried for bout 1/5 hour. Same drill over and over agin Ethernet cable=Checked, Is connected, ISP=checked network is working fine. What should I do to get it work | 18:00 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: ah thats why... /dev/X has to have root priviliges... | 18:00 |
| jay_ | how do i put my card into monitor mode | 18:00 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Thanks, understood now, | 18:00 |
| shadeslayer | genii: any idea if we can change the priviliges under /dev/C | 18:00 |
| shadeslayer | i dont think so,but id like a second opinion | 18:01 |
| UK-DO | 1/2 hour* | 18:01 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DP: Try to use GNOME-PPP, and click "Setup", then detect device. | 18:01 |
| UK-DO | er is it available in Kubuntu ? or is it on Kubuntu CD ? or Do I need to download seperately | 18:02 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: you can download the .deb... | 18:02 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: and its available in the standard install too | 18:02 |
| UK-DO | Ok thanks I ll try that out | 18:02 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: um i just ran kppp and it asks for the pass straight away | 18:02 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DO: Need to download five other packages as well, including wvdial | 18:02 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: use getdeb.com | 18:03 |
| UK-DO | Thanks for that lead | 18:03 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: can you tell him the packages he needs? | 18:03 |
| shadeslayer | !getdeb | UK-DO | 18:03 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: its getdeb.net | 18:04 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Sure, | 18:04 |
| anirban-kde | Try http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/gnome-ppp/download | 18:05 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: um thats a very old link | 18:06 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Sorry, I just got it quickly | 18:07 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: use : alt+F2 > upkg:<package name> : | 18:08 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DO, the list of required packages in at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gnome-ppp | 18:08 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Thanks, but mine is upgraded | 18:08 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: eh? | 18:08 |
| UK-DO | Thanks bout link I'm browsing getdeb.net but havent found gnome ppp | 18:08 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: ok look at the link anirban-kde just gave you,it has a download link at the botton | 18:09 |
| shadeslayer | *button | 18:09 |
| anirban-kde | Or, open Konsole, and try "sudo dpkg get-install gnome-ppp" | 18:10 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: So, which one do you like more, KDE or GNOME? | 18:10 |
| UK-DO | Thanks shadyslayer and anirban. Just one question are dependeciz also included in that deb package ? | 18:11 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: hehe.. KDE is better imo | 18:11 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: nope,youll have to download all the listed deps | 18:12 |
| UK-DO | ok thanks | 18:12 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DO, no, they are not. But if you use the Command I gave, then they will be installed automatically | 18:12 |
| shadeslayer | ok brb | 18:12 |
| anirban-kde | Shadeslayer: For me too, KDE is better, lol | 18:12 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Hello again, | 18:15 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: hey :),had just installed the nvidia drivers so had to restart X | 18:16 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: For me too, KDE is better, | 18:16 |
| UK-DO | Isnt there any setting that will let me adjust the boot prority ? I wish to load windows 1st rather than Kubuntu | 18:16 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Oh, quite nice, | 18:16 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: yeah you can do that | 18:16 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DO, use KGrubEditor | 18:16 |
| anirban-kde | UK-DO, then it will be easier | 18:17 |
| UK-DO | Thanks I will note that | 18:17 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: you have karmic or jaunty? | 18:17 |
| UK-DO | Karmic | 18:18 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: ah then that will not work | 18:18 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: kgrubeditor is only for grub 1 | 18:18 |
| genii | anirban-kde: If the device behaves like a modem you could use the sudo pppconfig command to set it up. Under advanced options in there you can add ppp users. | 18:18 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: for grub 2 youll need to manually set windows as the first boot option | 18:19 |
| anirban-kde | Right, | 18:19 |
| anirban-kde | genii: Thanks | 18:19 |
| anirban-kde | We have a Linux club here, | 18:20 |
| anirban-kde | There, a perso came yesterday, | 18:20 |
| anirban-kde | *person | 18:20 |

| anirban-kde | Then, we found that he accidentally ran forkbomb commands, which had frozen his machine | 18:21 |
| shadeslayer | anirban-kde: can we please chat in #kubuntu-offtopic | 18:21 |
| anirban-kde | shadeslayer: Sure, | 18:22 |
| UnderWraps | where do I install grub, sda or sda1? | 18:23 |

| Mudassar | using UNetBootIn I created the USB iso | 18:26 |
| === cesar_ is now known as Guest11983 | ||
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: please check the MD5 sum of the iso and re write the USB | 18:27 |
| shadeslayer | !md5sum | Mudassar | 18:27 |
| ubottu | Mudassar: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 18:27 |
| Guest11983 | hello | 18:28 |
| Mudassar | it directly wrote it from UNetBootIn ... I was not given any md5 | 18:29 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: hehe,you need to check the MD5SUM of the ISO you downloaded | 18:30 |
| Mudassar | i didn't download the ISO | 18:30 |
| Mudassar | UNetBootIn created the USB by downloading the ISO somewhere | 18:30 |
| Mudassar | please provide me step by step guide link that guide me from start to end | 18:31 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: ok i would suggest you torrent the ISO and point unetbooting to it | 18:31 |
| JuJuBee | I just reinstalled the OS on my server (gateway etc...) but cannot browse the web from anything in my room. I have /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward set with a 1 in int and sysctl -p shows net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 and IPtables is set to allow all traffic for now. What am I missing? | 18:31 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: ok step 1 ) Download kubuntu iso from www.kubuntu.org | 18:31 |
| shadeslayer | !download | Mudassar | 18:31 |
| ubottu | Mudassar: Kubuntu can be downloaded in various formats from here: http://kubuntu.org/download.php | 18:31 |
| Mudassar | shadeslayer: which iso should I download ? | 18:32 |
| Mudassar | CD Image ? | 18:32 |
| anirban-kde | Mudassar: yes, | 18:32 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: yes,if you have ram more than 3 GB use the 64 bit link | 18:32 |
| Mudassar | RAM is 1 GB | 18:33 |
| Mudassar | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download is this link fine? | 18:33 |
| Mudassar | and what about this check box "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer" ?? | 18:34 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: just use the live cd link please | 18:35 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: and use the 32 bit download then | 18:35 |
| Mudassar | means I should check this box | 18:35 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: no dont check that box | 18:35 |
| Mudassar | ok | 18:35 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: ill give you a iso which when booted will give you a command line installer | 18:35 |
| Mudassar | I have started downloading it from that link | 18:37 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: ok good :) | 18:37 |
| Sakui | how can I get k3b to rip cd into mp3? | 18:37 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: read about how to MD5 sum a iso in windows please | 18:37 |
| Mudassar | please give me the link | 18:38 |
| shadeslayer | !md5sum > Mudassar | 18:38 |
| ubottu | Mudassar, please see my private message | 18:38 |
| Mudassar | yes I got | 18:39 |
| kaddi | hi, i just got some major kde-updates and now after a reboot my config is completely broken | 18:40 |
| Mudassar | but where is the MD5 that is provided for this ISO file ? | 18:40 |
| trakinas | Solved! | 18:40 |
| kaddi | is there something i can fix | 18:40 |
| trakinas | I generated a daily report for those days that were missing and now I access them directly on the url if I want to see their traffic. | 18:41 |
| trakinas | the trouble is that my host split your logs (Im not on a dedicated server) every 2 days, so my files acces/erro.log and log.1 have only yesterday's and today's records. what I did was to tell the script to look into the old files (.2 beyond) and then generate a daily report. | 18:42 |
| trakinas | it generated a file like awstats01201024.txt for those missing days. | 18:42 |
| trakinas | for example, to access the reports for 24th, I add ?&databasebreak=day&day=24 after awstats.pl (in my case) | 18:42 |
| Mudassar | brothers, where can I get the md5 checksum for the kubuntu 9.10 that I am downloading ? | 18:44 |
| kaddi | I need help with my plasma-config. plasma-appletsrc is unchanged, but the widgets don't load | 18:45 |
| trakinas | Mudassar: if it is from bittorrent it usually comes with an extra txt. | 18:46 |
| UK-DO | Hello I need Gnome PPP so can get dep pkgs from hardy disk ? I have got few older versions of ububtu CDs | 18:47 |
| Sakui | how can I get k3b to rip cd into mp3? | 18:50 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO um didnt we already give you the packages? | 18:50 |
| shadeslayer | Sakui: tools > RIP audio cd | 18:51 |
| UK-DO | Shadyslayer: Yes but one of em was missing so I needed to come back on windows | 18:51 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: ok well which one? | 18:51 |
| UK-DO | Libuniconf 4.4 | 18:51 |
| Sakui | shadeslayer: it's not finding libmp3lame0 | 18:51 |
| UK-DO | vwdial needs i | 18:51 |
| shadeslayer | Sakui: then install it :P | 18:52 |
| UK-DO | wvdial needs it* | 18:52 |
| Sakui | shadeslayer: it's installed | 18:52 |
| Mudassar | i have downloaded the ISO for kubuntu 9.10 and checked the checksum as well, it is correct. Now I need to create the USB iso so that I can install it from USB | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Sakui: hmm | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: use unetbootin,and specify the place where you downloaded the ISO | 18:52 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: one sec | 18:53 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: which version? | 18:54 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=Libuniconf&searchon=names | 18:54 |
| UK-DO | BRB I have got the libuniconf file fm ubuntu website so I wll install the wvdial and gnome ppp but just incase I'm missing anything else I'd like to use older disks of Ubuntu | 18:54 |
| Mudassar | while transfering the casper/filesystem.squashfs, it is taking much time. Is it the huge file ? or something else is there | 19:02 |
| UK-DO | Damn those dependency also need more dep pkgs | 19:03 |
| UK-DO | I think I'm better with Gnome desktop KDE already is kinda buggy :( | 19:04 |
| UK-DO | I guess I'll deinstall Kubuntu and reinstall 8.10 Ubuntu | 19:04 |
| Mudassar | why does casper/filesystem.squashfs take so much time ? | 19:06 |
| Mudassar | transferring into USB | 19:06 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: its a 650 MB file :) | 19:07 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: um didnt kpp run btw? | 19:07 |
| Mudassar | oh, that's why .......... but why does it take much time creating the ISO in the USB ? | 19:08 |
| UK-DO | KPPP dont detect modems | 19:08 |
| anirban-kde | It won't, directly | 19:08 |
| shadeslayer | Mudassar: you just have to be patient :) | 19:08 |
| Mudassar | :) ok | 19:08 |
| anirban-kde | You need to configure it to do so, so GNOME-PPP is better in this sense | 19:09 |
| Mudassar | brother Shadeslayer: I have heard that Kubuntu with KDE is a bit buggy, but I like the KDE environment .. what do you suggest me ? | 19:09 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: hmm well what i would do is try and instal gnome ppp and that should list all the deps,and download all of them one by one | 19:09 |
| kaddi | I need help with my plasma-config. plasma-appletsrc is unchanged, but the widgets don't load after the latest updates and a reboot | 19:10 |
| UK-DO | shadeslayer: I have used Ubuntu Live CD to establish a PPPoE bout a 6 months back but Kubuntu failed me even back then. But I just love KDE apps KDE browser and KTorrent and Amarok thats why I keep coming back to Kubuntu | 19:11 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: you can kee ubuntu and kubuntu side by side | 19:11 |
| shadeslayer | *keep | 19:11 |
| * dasen is back. | 19:12 | |
| Mudassar | yes it is copying the file ... :) | 19:13 |
| UK-DO | Shdayslayer I'm getting dep pkgs for now and give it a last try b4 going back to Ubuntu :( | 19:13 |

| shadeslayer | kaddi: no that will make a new config | 19:27 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: its probably that the old config file isnt compatible with the new packages | 19:28 |
| UK-DO | Finally and manual check for all dep pkgs is done I hope I'm not missing anything :\ Last try kubuntu :( | 19:28 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: one sec | 19:28 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: so there is no way i can save my config? | 19:29 |
| UK-DO | I got all the dep pkgs shadyslayer double checked every single one of them manually | 19:29 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DO: try and install gnome ppa from a terminal and check the deps listed there,download the ones your missing | 19:29 |
| UK-DO | how do I donwload the missing ones if I dont have network running lolz | 19:29 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: probably not | 19:29 |

| UK-DONE | Hello How what should I install very first after Kubuntu installations | 20:06 |
| shadeslayer | UK-DONE: kubuntu-restricted-extras imo | 20:07 |
| Sakui | system updates :P | 20:08 |
| shadeslayer | yeah those too :) | 20:08 |
| Sakui | why is my stupid kpackagekit just sitting there? | 20:09 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: does installing kubuntu-desktop remove wicd? | 20:09 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: reboot didn't fix my desktop problems but removed my internet client | 20:09 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: yeah it removes wicd to accomodate for knetwork manager | 20:12 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: but it seems knetwork manager still can't do wpa2... :/ that's not a problem, I'll reinstall wicd. | 20:14 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: any idea what else i could try to get background color for my widgets back? | 20:14 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: um.. nope | 20:15 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: you could try to reconfigure kdebase,but no idea | 20:15 |
| UK-DO | Hi ppl what should I do very first after installation of Kubuntu | 20:15 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: i also got a window from anakondi reconfiguring something on latest reboot, is that also related to installing kubuntu-desktop? | 20:16 |
| UK-DO | Shadyslayer: I finally solved the problem with Gnome PPP :D | 20:16 |
| tony32 | anyone tell me what the use of a root password is? | 20:17 |
| kaddi | shadeslayer: do you think there's any use to ask for help in #kde or is this a ubuntu problem? | 20:17 |
| gorgonizer | kaddi: if your desktop is still as shown in the imagebin link above, it would appear that no Desktop Theme has been applied to your system... try setting one in System Settings -> Advanced User Settings -> Desktop Theme Details | 20:17 |
| shadeslayer | kaddi: you can ask in #kd | 20:19 |
| UK-DO | Someone plz quickly tell me the resolution for 4gotten password I cant remember what password I used in Windows Pidgin. Bow I can't access my IRC in Kubuntu :( | 20:21 |

| tony32 | never! ubottu | 20:41 |
| tony32 | i hate brown themes | 20:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | change the theme? | 20:41 |
| kaddi_ | if I do a complete remove of kde is there any other config files than .kde I will loose? | 20:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | kaddi_: your home ~/.kde should stay with a purge/remove of the kde packages | 20:42 |
| kaddi_ | with a purge as well? | 20:42 |
| kaddi_ | does konversation get killed of in the process? :p | 20:42 |

| gorgonizer | tony32: kate should be found in /usr/bin/ | 20:45 |

| kaddi_ | WaltzingAlong: no it_s 4.3.5 I upgraded today though | 20:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | kaddi_: right so your kde settings are in ~/.kde and thus moving that (then logging in) should mean kde cannot find your old settings (in the moved .kde directory) | 20:48 |
| kaddi_ | WaltzingAlong: I know, I have "default" settings right now, the ones automatically created on first login. But my taskbar is still transparent as is the menu from k-menu | 20:49 |
| KOPRajs | hi there, I've accidentally eleted some files in /usr/share/locale... I need to force package manager to reinstall affected packages but can't find out how... in Hardy there was Install/Remove/Reinstall but in Karmic I can see only Install/Remove options... command-line to reinstall a package withou removing first would be ok | 20:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | kaddi_: transparent as in 'with desktop effects'? | 20:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | KOPRajs: aptitude reinstall packagenamegoeshere | 20:58 |
| kaddi_ | WaltzingAlong: i'm getting help in #kde as well by now. They asked the same thing. Disabling desktop-effects gives me background color= black and text-color=black.. So it has something to do with effects, but it's also screwed without them | 21:00 |

| Mudassar | how many people vote that Kubuntu 9.10 is stable? | 21:13 |
| Mudassar | keyboard mouse are not working ............. | 21:13 |
| === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| KjetilK | Mudassar, I never had that problem, but I had to use the latest KDE backports and make a manual backport of a package I found a serious bug in. With that, it is pretty stable | 21:18 |
| avihay | Mudassar: I'd vote for stable as long as you don't try to make it crash | 21:18 |
| KjetilK | but not right out of the box, no | 21:18 |
| phoenix_ | i am voting that its stable | 21:23 |
| phoenix_ | anyone tried lucid lynx | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | yup, it's abit unstable right now if you run kde 4.4 | 21:27 |
| phoenix_ | how is the new ui improvements | 21:28 |
| tony32 | i'm about to cry. i keep installing a file, it says it can't. then each time i try to install or or the other dvd programs, it removes others using apt-get | 21:29 |
| tony32 | can't i have my cake and eat it too? | 21:29 |
| phoenix_ | i think are not giving admin right to the program | 21:29 |
| tony32 | yes, i am | 21:31 |
| phoenix_ | it wont get installed unless you give admin previlages | 21:32 |
| lucitu | running lucid right now :) | 21:33 |
| phoenix_ | how is the ui improvements | 21:33 |
| lucitu | awesome | 21:33 |
| phoenix_ | anthing new you liked a lot | 21:33 |
| WaltzingAlong | phoenix_: you can play around with kde4.4rc without installing kubuntu 10.04 | 21:34 |

| lucitu | so what is the codename for Kubuntu 10.04 ubottu? | 21:37 |
| phoenix_ | may be you haven't enabled the desktop effects | 21:37 |
| Alarm | i did. | 21:38 |
| Alarm | when i use other window decorators (like plastic) i see them normaly | 21:38 |
| genii | lucitu: "<ubottu> Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1" Which, you were here when it said earlier. | 21:40 |
| kaddi | gorgonizer, Shadeslayer: the people in plasma got it fixed. Apparently it's not a problem with kde but with my intel drivers. running plasma-desktop -graphicssystem raster instead of plain plasma-desktop fixed everything (or almost). In case you're curious :) | 21:44 |

| gorgonizer | kaddi: cheers for the info, was completely unaware of such an issue... | 21:45 |
| kaddi | me too.. but the pc has had a loooong history of kubuntu not working correctly because of drivers, so I'm not surprised :p | 21:45 |
| kaddi | *inteldrivers | 21:45 |
| lucitu | genii: can't you read the 'K'? | 21:47 |
| genii | lucitu: There are not separate names for Kubuntu or ubuntu or Xubuntu or Lubuntu versions of 10.04. They are all Lucid Lynx | 21:48 |
| genii | lucitu: eg: Kubuntu 10.04 is Lucid Lynx with KDE desktop, etc | 21:48 |
| lucitu | genni: i know..but ubottu seems to tell us 'K'ubuntu 10.04 discussion is not here? | 21:49 |
| tony32 | since when did ubuntu stop letting us play dvd's? we have to add medibuntu repo to do it, apparently | 21:51 |
| lucitu | genii: Lubuntu seems new. what is it? | 21:51 |
| kaddi | tony32: that has always been the case, you need to install ubunte-extras-restricted | 21:52 |
| genii | lucitu: LXDE based desktop | 21:53 |
| genii | lucitu: Also, #ubuntu+1 is ALSO #kubuntu+1 :) | 21:54 |
| tony32 | hmmm, it's not showing when i try apt-search | 21:54 |
| KOPRajs | how can I reinstall dpkg package? | 21:54 |
| genii | tony32: eg, in Konsole: sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update | 21:56 |
| tony32 | i read at the ubuntu site it doesn't allow you to play encrypted dvd's even with the extras repo | 21:56 |
| genii | tony32: And then to install packages of libdvdcss2 | 21:56 |
| tony32 | genii, done it already and worked. it's what i was talking about. i don't recall having to do this before | 21:57 |
| Scunizi | tony32: the medibuntu repositories have the required library mentioned above by genii | 21:57 |
| tony32 | yeah, got it working on k9copy. it was why it was crashing | 21:57 |
| Scunizi | tony32: it's because that library is not legal in some countries.. therefore Ubuntu won't offer it directly | 21:57 |
| genii | tony32: (K)ubuntu has never included dvd-playing stuff due to it's all proprietary stuff, thats why medibuntu way is used | 21:58 |
| tony32 | ubuntu doesn't install libcss2 when installing k9copy. would be great to let us know, like with a popup saying, '...requires a proprietary codec, click here if you choose...." | 21:58 |
| aperson | in anyone's opinion, would kde be good on a netbook? | 21:58 |
| Scunizi | tony32: but it doesn't *require* it.. it's only needed when ripping commercial DRM protected dvd's | 21:59 |
| genii | aperson: I installed Kubuntu Netbook Remix on an Asus 1005HA, had no complaints over it | 21:59 |
| Scunizi | aperson: isn't there a netbook remix of kde? | 21:59 |
| aperson | apparently | 22:01 |
| tony32 | Scunizi: yes, doesn't require. would be nice to know instead of just crashing with nothing. then again, that's the dev's fault | 22:01 |
| genii | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Netbook | 22:01 |
| aperson | from what I'm reading though, it doesn't look to be complete | 22:01 |
| aperson | I'm currently running a pretty custom ubuntu install, but running kde intrigues me | 22:02 |
| phoenix_ | i have problem with amarok. i am able to play music from my computer, but not from online sources like jamendo.com | 22:08 |
| BluesKaj | aperson, kubuntu-desktop can run alongside ubuntu-desktop , just choose at login | 22:08 |
| aperson | BluesKaj, give that this is a netbook, I doubt I have the space | 22:09 |
| aperson | plus, I don't want to futz with my good netbook image | 22:09 |
| aperson | I'm sure I'll entertain my curiosity one of these days | 22:10 |
| aperson | anyways, my questions are not of support, so I must sink back down to idling | 22:10 |
| BluesKaj | well, i run some gnome apps on my kde environment | 22:10 |
| aperson | that's entirely different than having two full de's installed :) | 22:11 |
| BluesKaj | how large is your partition ? | 22:12 |

| tony32 | in dolphin, all i have to do is just click and input root password, but in the plasma desktop and such, it just errors | 22:25 |
| savary | it's another idea | 22:26 |
| tony32 | actually, to correct that, even in dolphin, a subfolder errors out unless i click the drive, then it promps | 22:26 |
| tony32 | then it will let me click that shortcut when i open in dolphin | 22:26 |
| savary | but it's a beautiful theme | 22:27 |
