MrMazdaover an hour I've been hunting other docs and FAQ without finding instructions howto: 1-download installation linux and initrd.gz; 2-load them using Grub; 3-install via http only Kubuntu (no minimal install followed by apt-get install kubuntu-desktop). Is this possible as it is for Gnombuntu? If so, where's the doc?00:10

BrotherDaveAre there any easy to use keyloggers for Kubuntu?01:16
BrotherDaveSay.... to log a friends facebook / whatever password? :)01:17
sea4everBrotherDave: Such software is an abomination! People would refuse to taint the purity of linux by creating malicious software for it.01:18
BrotherDaveLong story short, Step Brother get's on my pc when I'm not looking (forgot to lock it sometimes) and if my facebook is up. He will change my status to something retarded. I'm just looking for a way to get payback is all :001:19
sea4everlol. Well that's a step-brother for you. Go hit him with something big, moist, sticky, and squishy in the face if you want payback.01:21
sea4everThat will give you a lot more satisfaction than posting something on facebook anyway.01:21

BluesKaj-LaptopEzros, from jockey ?01:24
EzrosCan someone please help me lol01:24
EzrosMaybe?01:24
EzrosI have no idea.01:24
EzrosI went to "Hardware Drivers" and that was the recommended driver in the program.01:24
nathan_I am trying to copy a 52GB file from my local drive to an external drive connected via USB.01:24
sea4everEzros: I'm not sure, but I think you should try this command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'01:25
nathan_I have tried cp and it just goes away.01:25
nathan_I am now trying rsyn with --progress and I am watching the transfer rate slowly tank.  Help!01:25

EzrosI'm using Kubuntu newest version.01:31
BluesKaj-LaptopEzros, lsb_release -a01:32
EzrosYup yup, karmic.01:33
BluesKaj-LaptopEzros,  I ask because i need to know your installation in order to help01:34
EzrosIt's all good.01:35
WhopperWas wondering, I'd like to put Kubuntu on a relatively old pc (2002) with 512mb RAM, 1GHz, and 40gb hard drive...would the latest build of Kubuntu run at reasonable speed or do you recommend I run another distro01:35
BluesKaj-Laptopit's all good , your monitor isn't working ... uhmm okaaaay.. i won't waste your time01:36
Ezros?01:37
EzrosWhat? lol01:37
sea4everWhopper: I just read that it should work just fine01:40
BluesKaj-LaptopWhopper, with 512 RAM xfce desktop would run ok ..not quite enough for kde or gnome01:40
sea4everIf anything you can always just change the default WM to something lighter.01:41
BluesKaj-Laptopkde without plasma might be ok01:42
EzrosBluesKaj-Laptop: Can you help me with this? I don't know what I'm doing.01:42
WhopperBluesKaj-Laptop, Yes that's what I figured, since I know gnome wouldn't work period no matter the settings (unless I set it at the bare minimum) so my next best bet was KDE...I'll try KDE at low settings, and then XFCE and check out this LXDE desktop in the works...thanks for your help01:43
BluesKaj-LaptopWhopper, I think you'll  like kde well enough to run at non plasma, if that's possible now01:44
BluesKaj-Laptopone never knows  for sure 512 may be ok01:45
WhopperBluesKaj-Laptop, I know 512 is sufficient for many current Linux builds, however it's the fact my computer is from 2002 (was once a business server back in the day), that some of the additional requirements may not be met due to outdated hardware that hasn't been upgraded since that date01:46
WhopperI'll give it a go, though :)01:47
nathan_I am trying to copy a 52GB file from my local drive to an external drive connected via USB.01:47
nathan_I tried cp and it just goes away.01:47
nathan_I am trying rsync and watching my transfer rate tank.01:48
nathan_Any suggestions?01:48
BluesKaj-Laptopwhopper , I  ram 6.10 on a 128ram 333mhz machine for a yrs before I bought another desktop ..it ran quite well with kde at the time bit slowbut no worse then windows 95 :)01:48
BluesKaj-Laptoperr ran01:48
BluesKaj-LaptopEzros, how did you install nvidia-glx-18501:50
WhopperYes that's what I figure :) I have Windows 2000 Professional on it currently, and want a free alternative that I can preserve the longevity of my machine with for years to come :)01:50
WhopperSince with all due respect, Windows 2000 is crap01:50
BluesKaj-LaptopWhopper, well it's the best windows OAS IMO :)01:51
BluesKaj-LaptopOS01:51
WhopperLol true :)01:51
BluesKaj-LaptopWhopper, after installation, cmon back here and report to us how it's running ..I'm very curious01:52
WhopperBluesKaj-Laptop, It'll have to wait till Saturday, I don't have the time to properly set up a Linux distro due to my work schedule...however I will set it up Friday night, and report to you guys Saturday01:53
WhopperHowever I am burning the ISO image to a CD as we speak, so the CD is ready to install :)01:53
BluesKaj-LaptopI still have an old similar pc in my basement I might donate to the seniors center .01:54
EzrosBluesKaj-Laptop: I installed by going to the "Hardware Drivers" thing that came with Kubuntu.01:54
BluesKaj-Laptopthey have acouple of pcs running linux already , mainly for surfing etc01:54
WhopperBluesKaj-Laptop, I did something similar with a 256MB 10GB HD laptop with 500mhz, I put SliTaz on the hard drive, firefox with flash and what not, and a few music programs, open office....it runs great, and the kids are appreciative of it :)01:55
Whopperbrb01:56
BluesKaj-LaptopWhopper, cool :)01:56
EzrosOkay, I removed that driver02:03
EzrosHopefully I can use my monitor again lol02:03

WhopperEzros, back when I used Dapper Drake in 2006-2007, I had a similar problem02:04
LeeJunFanYay, after the most recent openoffice updates it seems the hang time when using the file open/save dialog is back :(02:08
EzrosOkay, my monitor is "working" again.02:09
EzrosI downloaded a .run file from NVIDIA, can someone tell me how to use it please?02:10
Griffothis sucks02:10
BluesKaj-LaptopEzros, which driver is it?02:11
Ezroshttp://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_190.53.html02:11
KageEzros from the commandline type:     chmod a+x .run && ./.run02:11
BluesKaj-LaptopKage, we need to know if it's the right driver02:12
EzrosIt should be.02:12
EzrosIt's for 9 series on Linux 64.02:12
KageBluesKaj-Laptop: he asked how to use it, not if it was the right driver :P02:12
Ezros9M series, not 9.02:12
BluesKaj-LaptopEzros, that driver should work , but you can also use the terminal to install the driver from the repos , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current02:14
Ezros"Couldn't find package"02:15
BluesKaj-Laptopok, you don't have all your repos enabled, Ezros ..do it the way Kage described02:17
EzrosWell, I can't figure out how to do the way Kage explained02:19
BluesKaj-LaptopKage, we have to be careful about the nvidia propreitary drivers , sometimes they break the system worse than it is already02:20
KageBluesKaj-Laptop: he didn't ask if it was safe... he asked how to use it.02:21
EzrosSo much stuff with linux :-/02:22
BluesKaj-Laptoplook Kage , we have to be mindful of giving correct advice ok...understand ? ..whether he asked if it was safe ornot isn't thepoint here.02:24
EzrosI still don't know what I'm doing, for the record.02:25
KageBluesKaj-Laptop: IMO when someone asks a question on how to do something, we should give them a direct answer02:27

ArsinHow would I get these programs? Also is it normal for windows to be 'stuck' where they are and are unable to move around?03:37

n8whey14:36
n8whow do i clean up a memory?ive tried "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" but then i have to use "su"...14:37
n8wusin su is ok,but i cant see any difference while usin free -m under my regular account14:37
n8wi can see the impact of echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches under the root,but not under my user account14:38
geniin8w: Set instead: vm.drop_caches = 1                 in the file /etc/sysctl.conf14:40
n8wgenii:  what does it do?14:41
geniin8w: When you use su   it sets for superuser, when you set it globally in /etc/sysctl.conf it makes it for all users14:42
n8wgenii:  ok supa..im gonna try...14:43
n8wgenii:  well,ive got prob...all lines in the file r commented out n there is nothin like  vm.drop_caches = 114:45
n8wgenii:  shall i add that line inthere?14:45
geniin8w: Yes.14:45
n8wgenii:  ok,thx for your help;)14:45
geniin8w: After next reboot the change will be global14:45
otswimdoes anyone have an idea for my 'Enter' problem? if i change the shortcut to another key (for instance '+' or something) then i can send messages with the key; but not when the key is Return or Enter :(14:47
n8wgenii:  im sry, but this the last question:))...im gonna add it like this: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches   ....is that correct?14:48
geniin8w: No14:48
geniin8w: More like: echo "vm.drop_caches = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf14:49
n8wgenii:  uff...that looks toaly different:)14:50
geniin8w: Stuff set in the file /etc/sysctl.conf is just changing the default value during boot time so it doesn't need to be done by messing with stuff in the /proc/sys/  area. To edit that file you need admin hence the "sudo tee -a" part14:53
geniin8w: Running as root or under su is discouraged in ubuntu, almost all admin work is done with sudo14:53
n8wgenii:  yep...thx...im gonna add that line as u say14:54
n8wgenii:  ok i did echo "vm.drop_caches = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf from the konsole n it has been written to the file....14:57
n8wgenii:  im gonna reboot now....thx a lot for your help14:57
Zxcvbwill kubuntu run off of a U3 virtual cd partition?15:04
geniiZxcvb: Yes. Although I usually use u3-tool to remove it altogether15:08
Zxcvbgenii: nice, so you can use u3-tool to run a kubuntu dvd iso image15:12
Zxcvbgenii: do all live cd/dvds work with that?15:12
geniiZxcvb: I have a Sandisk Cruzer which I tested the virtual cd boot using an Xubuntu 9.10 image, works fine. Theoretically any livecd will work. The Cruzer is setup in a persistent install mode where it boots the virtual cd then uses the mass storage part of the stick for keeping settings, etc. I disabled swap on purpose because of read/write life cycle of the sticks is not that great15:15

seicherlbobisnt there anybody that knows a litte bit about sound arcitecture in kde?? I'm getting crazy about how Alsa, Pulse, Phonon and Xine stick together. Can someone tell me that?16:08
Mamarokseicherlbob: alsa is the underlying sound architecture16:19
Mamarokthen there is Phonon on top of it in KDE, using various backends for sound output, like for example the xine backend16:20
seicherlboband what has pulse to do with it? because my pulse device is not working16:20
Mamarokseicherlbob: well, if you only use KDE you don't need pulseaudio16:20
Mamarokor to be more prcise: KDE doesn't use it16:21
seicherlbobok, thats an info i can use16:21
Mamarokprecise16:21
seicherlbobso i can purge it?16:21
Mamarokseicherlbob: well, you can remove it, but purge is not advises, since it might want to remove more than necessary16:22
Mamarokand once it was installed, you will always have libpulse0 installed, it's almost impossible to get rid of it, but it shouldn't disturb16:22
seicherlbobok. do you know how i can configure the alsa devices? because my waveIn collides with my frontout16:22
Mamarokseicherlbob: you need to remove all pluseaudio-* packages, then remove the $HOME/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc, then restart KDE16:23
MamarokPhonon will configure the rest16:23
seicherlbobremove as in apt-get remove ?16:24
Mamarokseicherlbob: unless you have an exotic soundcard it should just work16:24
seicherlbobCreative .... Xfi Titanium16:24
Mamarokseicherlbob: yes16:24
=== h is now known as Guest38027
Mamarokseicherlbob: I don't know if that is exotic, try what I suggested first :)16:25
seicherlbobThe problem is that some channels are doubled in the MultimediaSettings and sometimes the front out is weird. And i'd like to have some outputs on multiple channels (like music to front AND rear)16:25
seicherlbobok, i'll remove pulse packages and the phonondevices, then restart. right?16:27
Mamarokonly restart KDE, not restart the computer16:28
seicherlbobok16:28
seicherlbobhow can i ask apt about installed packages? like apt-cache search, but only on installed ones?16:28
seicherlbobgot it16:30
seicherlboboh, no. these were all packagenames...16:30
Mamarokseicherlbob: try this: aptitude search '~i'16:30
seicherlbobaccording to aptitude -> installed packages -> sound; i have no pulse installed anyway16:32
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
Mamarokseicherlbob: you certainly have libpulse0, else it wouldn't show up in the phonon devices list16:34
Mamarokbut it might not be labeled in the sound section16:34
seicherlbobright, libpulse is installed, but nothing else16:34
MamarokOK, that's good16:35
seicherlbobthey are all marked with "p"16:35
Mamarokdo you have all channels active in KMix?16:35
seicherlbobYes16:35

flohI found out with "mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt/temp/" it works fine (this is the partition which is availeble in dolphin).17:47
flohBut not with "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/temp/". => "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"17:48

devurandomOh, and another question: Is the (K)Ubuntu Netbook Edition compiled with march=atom?21:59
devurandomTscheesy: I tried unetbootin, and it doesnt work very well. After booting it will complain about an invalid kernel...22:00
mixonhello, I've recently upgraded ubunto 9.1 to 9.10 and now my laptop (hp dv5) will no longer charge22:00
Tscheesythe other App i mentioned should be in your Installation KMenu-Apps-System - with unetbootin i haven't had good experiences under Linux22:01
devurandomIs there a schedule for the next alpha/beta of Kubuntu?22:02
devurandomTscheesy: Well, I'm on Gentoo on this system, if there was anything installed I'd know. ;)22:02
Tscheesyah22:03
devurandomI'm just trying to find something suitable for my Netbook to run on.22:03
devurandomCurrently it's Debian/Sid, but the installation was a mess already, and it's kde 4.4.0 still.22:03
Tscheesykubuntu-netbook is nice but still Alpha with edges - heard that only text-install works atm22:04
Tscheesybut for this you should ask in #ubuntu+122:04

NoeveHi everyone. I've just installed Kubuntu on a HP Pavilion DV9000, and am struggling to connect to the wireless network. I don't get an error, but it doesn't get past "Activating" and occasionally brings up the window asking for a key. The WEP key is correct... Any ideas ?23:30
Typos_King...   to the risk of sounding biased.... try using gnome's nm23:31
Typos_KingNoeve:   sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome;23:31

ultraputzahoy -- quick question: under 4.4 -- what are the plus and minus buttons over icons in the widget folder view?23:43
Typos_Kingwidget folder view?23:43
Typos_King... well... I don't use it I guess23:43
ultraputzthere's a plasma widget that lets you view a folder...23:44
ultraputzhold the mouse over a folder, it opens, a file, produces an info panel, etc.23:44
Typos_King..k... mmm I usually stick with .. krusader :)23:45
ultraputzi am re-new to kde (last time i used it as a desktop environment was a redhack install in '97)23:46
ultraputzstill using mostly defaults, though konqueror earned it's way to replacement by FF -- the rest of K blows the doors off of Gnome, piecemeal and as a whole.23:46
ultraputzthe last time i was this happy with a desktop environment, i was using a NeXT.23:47
Typos_Kinghehe23:47
ultraputzif i ever get rich, i'm gonna set up an open bar at the next KDE code camp :-)23:47
Typos_Kingkonqueror?  hehe, I use Opera10...  faster, flexible and quite up to standards23:48
Typos_Kingyes, I also have firefox23:48
ultraputzevery time i start to give opera a chance, i stumble on something that needs FF.23:49
Typos_King'needs'?   heheehe, I don't :P23:49
Typos_Kinglike ... for example?23:49
ultraputzneeds -- like the intranet timekeeping system at work23:50
ultraputzalso, i'm on a computer an aztec would laugh at, so speed _really_ matters.23:50
Typos_Kingthat's intranet stuff, I assume is addressing 'a' specific user-agent, so23:50
Typos_Kingthat's expectable under those circumstances23:50
ultraputzand so far, ff 3.5 has smoked konq (mainly related to how they work with cache vs. ram)23:50
ultraputzyeah, but you'll note that FF is happy, IE is happy, and the others are not...23:51
Typos_Kingother than the intranet?23:51
Typos_Kingis that it?23:51
ultraputzdo you develop?23:51
Typos_KingI mean, one can be as biased intranet wise, to make it IE-only, too, or konqueror-only as well, I don't see how that refers to the user-agent rather than the developers23:52
Typos_KingI do webdev23:52
ultraputzwell, between being grindingly slow and unresponsive, and not working with the website i most visit, yes, "that is it" :-)23:52
Typos_Kinghave you used opera10 yet?23:53
ultraputzno, unrelated question -- i was curious about k dev23:53
Typos_Kingdon't mistake me, fo webdev debugging and such, you certainly can't beat FF23:53
ultraputzno, i have not given 10 a run23:53

ultraputzso yes, i am familiar with webdev :-)23:54
Typos_Kingheheh23:54
Typos_Kingwell,   some while ago... .about 6years or so ago, opera and geckos were the top-rated standard compliant browsers, these days is safari/geckos with opera right behind it23:55
ultraputzi would like to try the webkit plugin for Konq23:55
ultraputzbut i hated skatfari on the mac... ran ff there, too :-)23:55
Typos_Kingopera does have quite good css2.1 support, and a few css3 features as well, it does do embedded fonts, as specified by the css3 standards, and also has decent DOM2 support as well as js 1.523:56
Typos_Kingonly difference between opera and others, is it parses quicker23:57
ultraputzthe thing that ultimately makes ff my browser is that i can really futz with it.23:58
ultraputzi know js, you can make ff breakdance on command.23:58
ultraputzer if you23:58
ultraputz(if you know js...)23:58
ultraputzXUL is... cool is not the right word. XUL works well. there we go.23:58
Typos_Kingff has a memory management issue they haven't solved, afaik23:58
ultraputzno, they have not.23:58
Typos_Kingwell, if  you do xul, sure, I'm sure a vbs dev will say the same about vbs in IE23:59
ultraputzi have an n810, and it's browser is an emaciated firefox.23:59
ultraputz"microB"23:59
ultraputzit's speed is as obvious as it's bad memory management23:59
