| kaic | hello, need help | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| kaic | why can't i install any packages through adept? | 00:32 |
| kaic | (just installed kubuntu, first time traveller) | 00:32 |
| Typos_King | ... | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | well... you can.... but I'd not advise it :) | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | I'd rather use apt-get | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | but Adept works too | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | I have it | 00:33 |
| kaic | Typos_King: what should i type to install firefox, for instance | 00:34 |
| kaic | sudo apt-get install firefox ? | 00:34 |
| Typos_King | install fff? | 00:35 |
| Typos_King | I used nothing, I just dl' it from their website and unzip it | 00:35 |
| kaic | weird | 00:35 |
| kaic | not working here | 00:35 |
| Typos_King | is all it requires | 00:35 |
| kaic | no program is able to be installed | 00:36 |
| Typos_King | I mean, sure, is in the repositories in .deb and you can use that too | 00:36 |
| Typos_King | I downloaded it from mozilla.org and all it needs is to be unzipped to the folder you want it to run from | 00:36 |
| kaic | Typos_King: i`ll try that | 00:37 |
| kaic | but i doubt it'll work | 00:37 |
| kaic | you downloaded the .tar.bz2 version, right? | 00:37 |
| * Typos_King checks | 00:38 | |
| Typos_King | think so | 00:38 |
| Typos_King | I have a .zip .. now, but I made that from the package ehhe | 00:39 |
| Typos_King | I think it was the .bzip yeah | 00:39 |
| kaic | hey dude, it worked | 00:40 |

| spacitymedic | Hey anyone know how to change the look of the kicker panel?? | 00:45 |
| spacitymedic | is there anyone here who can at least answer me? | 00:46 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: what are you wanting to do? | 00:47 |
| spacitymedic | i donwloaded some png images. they are supposed to be used to edit the look of that panel with the main menu on it | 00:47 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: you can drag things to and from the bar itself. | 00:47 |
| spacitymedic | instead of an opaque bar... i can have an animal print one | 00:47 |
| spacitymedic | if I drag one... will it change the look of the bar? | 00:47 |
| kkathman | not really | 00:48 |
| spacitymedic | Ok tried dragging it and it doesnt work... | 00:48 |
| valley | could some one please verify that kde has been hacked? | 00:49 |
| valley | sorry i mean kde-look | 00:49 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: but if you check the the ubuntu/kubuntu forums there are numerous posts that tell you haw to do some of the things you're wanting to do | 00:49 |
| spacitymedic | right. i have looked | 00:49 |
| kkathman | well, here's one for instance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811812 | 00:50 |
| kkathman | It's all about finding the right png file to change | 00:50 |
| spacitymedic | i have gone into settings | 00:51 |
| spacitymedic | i have read adn read forum after forum. and on kde-look there is nothing regarding how to use the kickers that are on there. | 00:51 |
| spacitymedic | ok... | 00:51 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: /usr/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/ check that out | 00:51 |
| spacitymedic | put thati nto terminal? | 00:52 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: its a directory of course | 00:52 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: you're familiar with directories right? | 00:52 |
| kkathman | Just unpack whatever archive you downloaded to the directory you want and then right click on the taskbar > Configure Panel > Appearance > check Enable Background Image > click on the button with the little white thing on it and a dialog to pick the image will come up. | 00:53 |
| spacitymedic | NOT REALLY. still learning. sorry about the caps | 00:53 |
| kkathman | again, these can be found in the forums | 00:54 |
| kkathman | spacitymedic: then I'd suggest that you not worry a lot about customizing quite yet, until you kinda learn the basics :) | 00:54 |

| faultline | Can anyone help me? I have wireless internet, but when I used windows I had a really good connection- am I missing or in need of updated driovers for kubuntu involving wireless modems built into the laptop? | 01:25 |
| EagleScreen | hi faultline | 01:26 |
| faultline | Hi Eagle. | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | faultline: so, what's different when not in win32? | 01:26 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: can you connect in Kubuntu but with a poorer connection? | 01:26 |
| faultline | I can connect but with half the connection | 01:27 |
| faultline | I am not familiar with terminal yet, and have no idea how to check the drivers or upddate thenm | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | and how do you know the win32 connection is better? | 01:27 |
| faultline | Thats what I have been on until yesterday early morning lok | 01:28 |
| faultline | lol | 01:28 |
| faultline | * | 01:28 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: have you ever used pastebin? | 01:28 |
| faultline | ....dunno rofl im new to linux and this stuff in general...been with windows since 95 | 01:29 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: run this command: lspci -vk | 01:29 |
| EagleScreen | in terminal | 01:30 |
| EagleScreen | copy the output | 01:30 |
| Typos_King | and how do you know the win32 connection is any better? | 01:30 |
| EagleScreen | visit http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste it | 01:30 |
| Typos_King | or you don't? | 01:30 |
| faultline | I just answred. | 01:30 |
| faultline | Typos question | 01:30 |
| Typos_King | you did? | 01:31 |
| faultline | http://paste.ubuntu.com/393694/ | 01:31 |
| EagleScreen | i think faultline is seeing the quality signal graph in the applet at half | 01:31 |
| faultline | Yes | 01:31 |
| Typos_King | faultline: I missed it I gather, what's the answer again? how do you know that? | 01:31 |
| faultline | Because I just came from a windows system and my other laptop (same exact one) is windows 7 by default. | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | EagleScreen: as opposed to an 'arguable' better graphic from another manager | 01:32 |
| faultline | I cant get signal hardly anywhere in my room and i used to be able to | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | EagleScreen: a small picture on the tray doesn't constitute a connectivity for the network packets | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | I see | 01:33 |
| EagleScreen | faultline has got an Atheros wireless which uses the ath9k driver | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | then is possible the drivers | 01:33 |
| faultline | How can I update the drivers? | 01:34 |
| EagleScreen | woth linux-backport-modules? | 01:34 |
| faultline | I have used jockey but I gather that only means towards graphics drivers | 01:34 |
| EagleScreen | is ath9k free or restricted? | 01:34 |
| faultline | I dont know man lol I have no clue :/ my brother is supposed to be teaching me about this stuff, but is out of town on vacation lol. Can you tell me how to check it? | 01:35 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: come to #linux-wireless and ask for your issue | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | ... | 01:37 |
| Typos_King | faultline: are you using ... kubuntu? | 01:37 |
| faultline | I am | 01:39 |
| faultline | The nexest version | 01:39 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: if you want to update drivers, use linux-backport-modules package | 01:39 |
| faultline | Erm, latest. | 01:39 |
| faultline | Where is that located, may I ask? | 01:39 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 01:40 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: if you are in Kubuntu 9.10, just install this package: linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic | 01:40 |
| faultline | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic ? | 01:41 |
| EagleScreen | for instance | 01:41 |
| Typos_King | I'd think so | 01:41 |
| faultline | Ok its installing. :D | 01:42 |
| faultline | Thansk for your help and patience guys | 01:42 |
| === felipe__ is now known as felipe_crimson | ||
| faultline | where is it hiding lol its installed | 01:43 |
| EagleScreen | faultline: now you should reboot | 01:43 |
| faultline | kk | 01:44 |
| EagleScreen | faultline, are you here? | 01:46 |
| faultline_ | Wow | 01:49 |
| faultline_ | Thanks guys | 01:49 |
| faultline_ | Ok, so I shouldnt have to run nothing, it auto-updated on reboot? | 01:49 |
| faultline_ | It is acting a lot better, not giving me any crap lol | 01:49 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 01:50 |
| faultline_ | Well, I appreciate it | 01:50 |
| faultline_ | i only lack one thing now- why this 'Phonon' thing is talking about my sound thingy not loading and how its reverting to '.' | 01:51 |
| faultline_ | Most of my other issues involve getting my drivers right and figuring out a few minor quirks like login screen customization, WINE, and the like. | 01:51 |
| EagleScreen | common phonon issues | 01:52 |
| faultline_ | For example, I would love to know hot t onull my kwallet password so I dont have to type it in everytime I boot the system | 01:52 |
| EagleScreen | faultline_: you cna go to System Settings -> Multimedia to review configuration | 01:52 |
| EagleScreen | faultline_: set a new blank (null) password or disable kwallet subsystem | 01:53 |
| faultline_ | How is that accessed? | 01:54 |
| EagleScreen | System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Kwallet | 01:54 |
| Typos_King | I think you can just disable it | 01:55 |
| Typos_King | I recall I did so | 01:55 |
| Typos_King | faultline: either way, I don't use knetworkmanager anyhow, I use nm-applet IMO better | 01:55 |
| EagleScreen | faultline_: it is expected your wireless to work much better in Linux 2.6.33 | 01:56 |
| faultline_ | I dunna the difference or where to begin to disable one and enable the other lol | 01:56 |
| faultline_ | linux 2.6.33....is that what kubuntu 9.10 is ? | 01:57 |
| Typos_King | yes | 01:57 |
| EagleScreen | linux 2.6.33 is the future | 01:57 |
| EagleScreen | 9.10 has got 2.6.31 | 01:57 |
| faultline_ | When does that update come out? | 01:58 |
| EagleScreen | and 10.04 will has 2.6.32 | 01:58 |
| Typos_King | faultline_: IIRC, is disableable under 'system settings > notifications' | 01:58 |
| xenaxon | help | 01:59 |
| faultline_ | is K torrent good, or is there a way to get a better one through sudo apt-get? | 02:00 |
| xenaxon | I tried to load kubuntu but it blocks on Loading Kernel | 02:00 |
| xenaxon | it just locks, and stays there, nothing happens | 02:00 |
| Typos_King | hehh | 02:00 |
| Typos_King | xenaxon: karmic? 9.1? | 02:00 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: what is the last you see int he screen? | 02:01 |
| xenaxon | 6.06 LTS | 02:01 |
| xenaxon | It starts loading | 02:01 |
| xenaxon | it says: loading Kernel | 02:02 |
| xenaxon | Mounting... (or something like that) | 02:02 |
| Typos_King | you just installed it? | 02:02 |
| xenaxon | and then black screen: Loading kernel. and does nothing | 02:02 |
| xenaxon | I just Pressed Load | 02:02 |
| xenaxon | at the top | 02:02 |
| EagleScreen | kernel cannot boot | 02:03 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: what computer? | 02:03 |
| EagleScreen | is it very new? | 02:03 |
| xenaxon | laptop | 02:03 |
| xenaxon | about a year old | 02:04 |
| Typos_King | <xenaxon> 6.06 LTS <--- | 02:04 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: never botted Linux sucessfully? | 02:04 |
| xenaxon | I tried another linux: Damn Small Linux won't load either | 02:04 |
| xenaxon | they both load on my desktop but don't load on laptop | 02:04 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: what are you doing with 6.06? | 02:04 |
| Typos_King | xenaxon: are we talking about the live-cd? or the installed HD version? | 02:05 |
| xenaxon | the live-cd | 02:05 |
| xenaxon | I can't install | 02:05 |
| Typos_King | 6.06? hhebhe | 02:05 |
| xenaxon | it freezez on loading kernel | 02:05 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: why dont you use a newer version than 6.06? | 02:05 |
| Typos_King | xenaxon: latest stable is 9.1 karmic koala you know :P | 02:05 |
| xenaxon | well, i don't have a newer one | 02:05 |
| Typos_King | soooooooooooo.... dl it,no? | 02:06 |
| xenaxon | I have both ubuntu, kubuntu & x64 of them | 02:06 |
| xenaxon | download it but it's 4am and I don't have a cd | 02:06 |
| xenaxon | so... | 02:06 |
| Typos_King | anyhow, upon loadingthe live-cd menu, press F6 for more boot options, check 'acpi=off' and 'noapic', and retry | 02:06 |
| xenaxon | what's the problem with 6.06 anyway? | 02:06 |
| anirudh | faultline_ try aptitude | 02:06 |
| Typos_King | is 4am... soo... go to sleep, and retry inthe afternoon hehe | 02:07 |
| xenaxon | :)) | 02:07 |
| xenaxon | I also had problems installing windows | 02:07 |
| xenaxon | I had to make a custom windows cd with sata drivers | 02:07 |
| xenaxon | maybe same problem with kub | 02:07 |
| Typos_King | doesn't sound like a new machine:P | 02:07 |
| xenaxon | windows xp * | 02:08 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: are you trying to install Ubuntu 6.06? | 02:12 |
| xenaxon | yes | 02:14 |
| xenaxon | i was | 02:14 |
| xenaxon | I'm not trying anymore. I'll try later today | 02:14 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: you should | 02:17 |
| EagleScreen | xenaxon: it is logic that 6.06 cannot boot in that computer | 02:17 |
| orb01 | Hi, I'm trying to install PulseAudio, but in only detects my external USB Midi controller (Hercules RMX), not my internal onboard HDA intel soundcard.

| [BG]ZloboMiR | Anyone? | 03:01 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | Well, I installed KDE over Gnome. However needed to return due to high CPU load during VNC | 03:01 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | I did, but now I can't adjust my Login Screen in Administration. Ubuntu 9.10 x64. Ideas? | 03:02 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | Pressing Unlock does not give any effect | 03:02 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | I can access the update manager for ex | 03:03 |
| jmichaelx | i am trying to keep ~/Music on my desktop and ~/Music on my girlfriend's desktop sync'ed. is there a way to do this with rsync *without* preserving ownership? right now, when i do this, i have to chown -R the directory when i'm finished. | 03:14 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't think rsync preserves ownership by default. What options are you giving it? | 03:14 |
| jmichaelx | Dragnslcr: i generally use '-av'. i know that -a preserves ownership & permissions, among other things. | 03:16 |
| Dragnslcr | There you go then | 03:17 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | !purexfce | 03:18 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 03:18 |
| [BG]ZloboMiR | !Xubuntu | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 03:19 |
| jmichaelx | Dragnslcr: sorry, i was disconnected. do you believe it is likely that if i ran something like 'rsync user1@*:/dir user2@*:/dir', it might allow user2 to access the files without need for chowning afterward? | 03:23 |
| Dragnslcr | For example: if you want to use -a (--archive) but don't want -o (--owner), instead of converting -a into -rlptgD, you could specify -a --no-o (or -a --no-owner) | 03:25 |
| Dragnslcr | That's from the man page | 03:25 |
| jmichaelx | ok, i honestly did look at the man page, but obviously missed that | 03:25 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, it's pretty far down | 03:31 |
| Dragnslcr | rsync's man page is kinda long | 03:31 |
| Dragnslcr | I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't right after the -a section | 03:31 |
| jmichaelx | Dragnslcr: interestingly, i stopped rsync mid-stream, and restarted using '-a --no-owner'. it picked right up where it left off, but the files it has sync'ed over since i specified no owner appear to have the same ownership/permissions as the files i copied without that flag | 03:40 |
| jmichaelx | i should probably mention that i am rsync'ing from and to root on both machines | 03:41 |

| abhi_nav | what is the keyboard shortcut for minimize, maximize, move, restore in kde? i am using gnome and just installed kde. but shortkut like alt + F9 etc are not working here | 08:39 |
| FireCrotch | gkffjcs: it should tell you what line number of your known_hosts file is the entry for that server | 08:40 |
| gkffjcs | it says 2 | 08:41 |
| gkffjcs | so I should edit the file? | 08:41 |
| FireCrotch | gkffjcs: yes, you'll have to remove line 2 | 08:41 |
| gkffjcs | ok | 08:41 |
| gkffjcs | I guess I expected that there would be some sort of accept anyway option, and I was just missing. | 08:41 |
| gkffjcs | but if editing is necessary, editing can be done. | 08:41 |
| FireCrotch | gkffjcs: I don't think there is a way to do it, unfortunately | 08:42 |
| gkffjcs | do they really expect you to edit that file? the lines are so long that their warping, I can't figure out which is second. | 08:43 |
| gkffjcs | I'll play with it though. | 08:43 |
| FireCrotch | gkffjcs: I found in the ssh manpage that you can set StrictHostKeyChecking to off | 08:44 |
| gkffjcs | Thanks I'll check that out... | 08:44 |
| gkffjcs | is that in man ssh or man sshd? | 08:46 |
| gkffjcs | never mind... | 08:46 |
| FireCrotch | I can't tell if that will actually solve the issue though, unfortunately. If you're using nano to edit the file, you can do nano -w and it won't wrap the lines | 08:47 |

| pferreira | I started to encrypt my swap and tmp using cryptsetup/crypttab and during the boot the system seems to almost hang. | 09:00 |

| andreime | hello, can anyone help me, a semi-noob, switch nepomuk to virtuoso in kubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.4 ? | 11:35 |
| lalalol | andreime, youre not using 4.4.1? | 11:39 |
| skramer_ | andreime: http://www.kubuntu.org/news and look for virtuoso | 11:39 |
| skramer_ | andreime: "For both Lucid and Karmic, virtuoso packages are available. Install both the virtuoso-server and virtuoso-drivers packages to enable Nepomuk support." | 11:39 |
| lalalol | skramer_, since youre available, do you want to give me a little explanation of my problem that i have with kopete? its the lowest bar that i dont understand/doesnt work | 11:40 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: could you give me some more details, please? | 11:41 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: what is not working for you? | 11:41 |
| lalalol | skramer_, sure, i dont understand that flag symbol and the text next to it | 11:41 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: the flag symbol is only for some messages from the IM protocol | 11:43 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: say, if somebody added you t | 11:43 |
| lalalol | oh ok, next problem then, the text next to it | 11:43 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: to his contact list, the flag will become green and you get some options | 11:43 |
| lalalol | thx :) | 11:44 |
| lalalol | what about the text next to it? :s | 11:44 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: whether you want to allow, or to add or block that contact | 11:44 |
| === epic is now known as Akallabeth | ||
| skramer_ | lalalol: the yellow one on left side? you could input your personal status message | 11:45 |
| lalalol | yeah thats the "message" section, but it also has a "title" section | 11:45 |
| lalalol | and that title gets displayed next to the flag | 11:45 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: sure, there you could change your status to "online", etc. | 11:46 |
| skramer_ | lalalol: I have to go now, but I'll be back in 15 mins | 11:47 |
| lalalol | well skramer_, i dont understand that, theres an icon for that in the lower right :/ | 11:47 |
| lalalol | ok | 11:47 |
| lalalol | guys, i have another problem, why doesnt kopete auto-update? | 11:52 |
| lalalol | or why doesnt kpackagekit warns me theres a newer version of kopete? | 11:52 |

| venik | to install WINDOWS in VMware, which VMware product do I need? Server, Fusion, Workstation? | 17:04 |
| venik | (VMserver, VMfusion, VMworkstation?) | 17:04 |
| Vroomfondle | venik: any of them | 17:06 |
| Vroomfondle | but is there any reason why you're using vmware specifically? | 17:06 |
| Vroomfondle | virtualbox is good and free. | 17:07 |
| venik | I have installed VMserver, but I do not know how to start it | 17:07 |
| arch0njw | venik, how complicated do you want to get? And "What Vroomfondle said". | 17:07 |
| arch0njw | VMware Server should be started as a service automatically when the machine starts. There should be a console you can get to via a browser. | 17:07 |
| Vroomfondle | venik: Virtualbox is also easier and is in the Ubuntu repos. | 17:07 |
| venik | I know that the WINDOWS programs I need run on VMware. I am not sure about VB | 17:07 |
| arch0njw | VMware (Workstation) and !Virtualbox are nearly identical. | 17:08 |
| Vroomfondle | They'll run on Virtualbox (unless they need to do fancy 3D stuff). | 17:08 |
| arch0njw | (doh... no virtualbox definition from the bot :-(...) | 17:08 |
| venik | ok-- thanks-- I'll try that one, if it is in the repositories | 17:09 |
| Vroomfondle | !virtualbox | 17:09 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 17:09 |
| arch0njw | if you already have vmware server installed, the console URL should be: http://localhost:8222/ui/# | 17:09 |
| Vroomfondle | arch0njw: bot's parser just isn't good enough ;) | 17:09 |
| arch0njw | Vroomfondle: needs to be case aware :) | 17:10 |
| venik | thanks, guys-- this is great | 17:10 |

| ilter_ | Hello. I use an external HD on Kubuntu 9.10. My external HD has 2 ntfs partition. I use first of them but i can't mount the second one. How can i solve this problem? | 18:50 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: I usually end up using qtparted or gparted to get some insight into the differnt partitions. You might need to manually mount it. | 18:53 |
| ilter_ | Hello arch0njw. What is qtparted or gparted? And how can i mount it manually? | 18:55 |
| arch0njw | Those are partition editors. I know there is a way to get that information from the command-line, but I like the purdy UIs. :-) | 18:55 |
| arch0njw | You can install qtparted through KPackageKit. That should take care of all of the dependencies for you. | 18:56 |
| arch0njw | You can then use those to figure out the device name of each partition (e.g., /dev/sdf1, /dev/sdf2, etc.). | 18:56 |
| arch0njw | !mount | 18:57 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or !QtParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 18:57 |
| arch0njw | If you need to manually mount you can mount with a command like: "sudo mount /dev/sdf2 /media/other-partition". But you need to manually create /media/other-partition for that to work. This is where !DiskMounter and automounting is so nice. | 18:58 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: there may be errors on the partition that won't mount. the ntfs-3g driver that is used when mounting ntfs is conservative and will not mount an unclean partition, to prevent further corruption | 18:58 |
| ilter_ | ubottu: there isn't Disk & Filesystem icon under advanced tab. | 18:59 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:59 |
| arch0njw | ooohh... good point. ilter_, can you access both partitions of that USB drive from a windows machine? | 18:59 |
| ilter_ | Yes i can access from a windows machine. | 19:00 |
| arch0njw | Looks like the bot needs to be updated for KDE4... | 19:00 |
| ilter_ | My KDE version is 4.3.2 | 19:00 |
| arch0njw | I think what the equivalent would be is "Removable Devices" | 19:01 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: You might also have a "Partition Management" icon under Advanced / System. Do you? | 19:01 |
| ilter_ | No i don't have "partition management" icon. | 19:02 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: install partitionmanager if you want that icon | 19:03 |
| mefisto__ | !info partitionmanager | 19:03 |
| arch0njw | Okay. I suggest installing partitionmanager. You can do that through KPackageKit. | 19:03 |
| ilter_ | arch0njw: I'm trying command which you gave. | 19:03 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: that command will not work | 19:03 |
| ubottu | partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): partition manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-0ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 726 kB, installed size 2848 kB | 19:04 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: that was an example. You need to use something like partitionmanager, or the command-line equivalent, to know the exact name of the device. | 19:04 |
| ilter_ | ok i'm downloading partitionmanager by apt-get install. | 19:05 |
| arch0njw | cool. let me know when it is installed, and when you have opened it (it's under "System Settings -> Advanced" in the "System" section at the bottom). | 19:06 |
| ilter_ | To learn linux i'm trying to use commands as much as possible. | 19:06 |
| === jamie is now known as Guest7994 | ||
| arch0njw | That's excellent. :) | 19:06 |
| arch0njw | When all else fails, the command-line interface (CLI) is your best friend. | 19:07 |
| mefisto__ | and often commandline is easier, eg apt-get install... | 19:07 |
| ilter_ | Ok it's just installed. Now there is a partitionmanager icon under system / advanced. | 19:07 |
| arch0njw | sweet. open it up, please. | 19:07 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: and I am assuming your USB drive is presently connected. | 19:08 |
| ilter_ | So also is there any way to learn exact name of my device? | 19:08 |
| ilter_ | Yes of course it's connected :) | 19:09 |
| txukie | hi, im using kubuntu configured for netbook and with kde 4.4.1 packages | 19:09 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: that is exactly what we're working on here :) | 19:10 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: partitionmanager is open and you see yoru drives in the upper left? | 19:10 |
| txukie | maybe im too dumb but cant figure out a way to add a new activity to the default ones (newspaper and applications) | 19:10 |
| ilter_ | it seems the second partition name is sdb6. | 19:10 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: okay. So you are looking at the drive with two ntfs partitions. :) great. You can tell what is mounted by running this at the CLI: df -kh | 19:11 |
| txukie | I want to add a new activity called maybe "social" with facebook and widgets like that | 19:11 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: If you do not see sdb6 mounted anywhere, then we can try mounting it. However, as previously mentioned, the ntfs-3g utils might not mount it if they detect anything they interpret as a corruption | 19:12 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: First things first. did 'df -kh' show sdb6 as being mounted anywhere? | 19:12 |
| genii | Guest7994: Please stop with the CTCP | 19:14 |
| ilter_ | Yes "df -kh" shows sd6 but it's already mounted. And it's path /home. I realized that it's my own HD not a USB partition. Sorry :( | 19:15 |
| mefisto__ | the ntfs-3g.probe command might be of help | 19:15 |
| ilter_ | So still i don't know exact name of second partition of USB drive. | 19:15 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: let's identify that first using partitionmanager. | 19:16 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: in the upper left, you'll see your drives. Look through them until you find one with two ntfs partitions. That sounds like the one you will want. | 19:16 |
| ilter_ | Ok but now there isn't anyone with two ntfs partitions on partitionmanager. | 19:17 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: the USB drive is conncted and mounted? | 19:17 |
| ilter_ | Yes it's connected and it's first partition has already mounted. | 19:18 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: are you sure they are ntfs partitions and not fat16 or fat32? | 19:19 |
| ilter_ | I'm sure both of them are ntfs partition. | 19:19 |

| arch0njw | ilter_: Okay. Another approach. You are able to get to the first partition through Dolphin, right? | 19:20 |
| ilter_ | Yes. | 19:20 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: where does that mount to? do you know what that is called? | 19:21 |
| ilter_ | I don't know where does it mount. "df -kh" doesn't show it (first partition) also. | 19:22 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: try opening that first partition in Dolphin. | 19:23 |
| ilter_ | Yes i opened it in Dolphin. | 19:23 |
| arch0njw | It should show up if you use 'df -kh' now. | 19:23 |
| semistud2354 | Question? My System Activity Monitor doesn't update the cpu anymore | 19:24 |
| ilter_ | Ooops sorry now it shows. First partition mounted on /media/NTFS | 19:24 |
| semistud2354 | it used to update it like....constantly...now...nothing | 19:24 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: great. paste the output of this: df -kh | grep /media/NTFS. It should be only one line. | 19:25 |
| ilter_ | /dev/sdb5 120G 119G 350M 100% /media/NTFS | 19:26 |
| arch0njw | Thank you. And you said that /dev/sdb6 is mounted to /home? | 19:26 |
| ilter_ | Yes. | 19:27 |
| ilter_ | /dev/sda6 26G 15G 9.8G 60% /home | 19:27 |
| arch0njw | Ah. sda. Okay. | 19:27 |
| ilter_ | Ooops :( again sorry yes it's sda6 not sdb6. | 19:28 |
| arch0njw | With your USB drive now mounted, try running Partition Manager again. It's the fastest way I can think of to get the full device name of the other partition on the USB drive. | 19:28 |
| arch0njw | You will want to look at the device "/dev/sdb" and that should tell you all of the partitions on that device. | 19:29 |
| === Trijntje_ is now known as Trijntje | ||
| === soo_high is now known as skamster | ||
| ilter_ | On partition manager it says that; | 19:30 |
| ilter_ | /dev/sdb6 ext3 Linux-Ext3 29.80 GiB | 19:30 |
| ilter_ | But i'm sure second partition is also ntfs partition. It's type can not be ext3. | 19:31 |
| semistud2354 | Question? My System Activity Monitor doesn't update the cpu anymore | 19:31 |
| semistud2354 | it used to update it like....constantly...now...nothing | 19:31 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: We can still try to mount it just to see what will happen. If you are certain it should be ntfs, I find it very strange it is reporting as EXT3 | 19:32 |
| ilter_ | Ok let me check again my USB drive on win machine .. | 19:33 |
| arch0njw | ok | 19:33 |
| mefisto__ | sudo ntfs-3g.probe --readonly /dev/sdb6 will tell you if it's not mountable, and (hopefully) why not | 19:34 |
| faultline | can anyone tell me if it is supposed to take forever to load soemthing with wine? | 19:35 |
| arch0njw | (gah... blanked on remembering to use the 'probe command. Thank you, mefisto__) | 19:35 |
| ilter_ | I checked it again. And win says the second partition is ntfs. | 19:35 |
| === ubuntu is now known as lucidfailsme | ||
| arch0njw | faultline: usually "forever" with me means it isn't loading. Have you tried running via the command line? | 19:35 |
| faultline | I dont know the commands that well. | 19:35 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: try the ntfs-3g.probe command mefisto__ suggested | 19:35 |
| arch0njw | faultline: wine the.exe | 19:36 |
| ilter_ | mefisto_: thank you i'm trying the command. | 19:36 |
| mefisto__ | faultline: depends on the program. wine is hit-and-miss | 19:36 |
| faultline | its loading just taking like 15 minutes to do so but on windows 7 only took like 20 seconds | 19:37 |
| ilter_ | mefisto: i tried "sudo ntfs-3g.probe --readonly /dev/sdb6" command | 19:38 |
| arch0njw | faultline: try running the exe via wine via the command line. There is sometimes output there that explains why things aren't working. | 19:39 |
| ilter_ | CLI accepted the command. It doesn't give any errors but still df -kh doesn't show about adb6. | 19:39 |
| ilter_ | *sdb6 | 19:39 |
| faultline | Its saying no such klodule | 19:39 |
| mefisto__ | faultline: what's the program? you can search for it on appdb.winehq.org for possible instructions on getting it to work better | 19:39 |
| faultline | requiem memento mori | 19:40 |
| faultline | the file is UPDATERUSA.exe | 19:40 |
| faultline | Do I need to type it in all caps liek the file is? | 19:40 |
| xjjk | faultline: yes, WINE is often slow | 19:40 |
| xjjk | faultline: I assumed you figured out your panel problems you were having; you kept disconnecting the evening you had the problem | 19:41 |
| xjjk | sort of made it impossible to help you | 19:41 |
| faultline | Is there something faster then wine that is free? | 19:41 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: what was the output of the probe command? Please use pastebin if it is more than one line. | 19:41 |
| arch0njw | !paste | 19:41 |

| ilter_ | It didn't gives any output. | 19:42 |
| ilter_ | *give | 19:42 |
| faultline | xjjk: Yeah...I also learned to update my wireless drivers and it fixed my connection problem | 19:42 |
| xjjk | faultline: if you have a legal copy of Windows, you could virtualize | 19:42 |
| xjjk | faultline: KVM and Virtualbox OSE are free | 19:42 |
| faultline | can I use sudo apt-get to get them? | 19:42 |
| xjjk | faultline: virtualbox-ose, easily (that's the package name) | 19:43 |
| xjjk | kvm (also the package name) requires a bit more work, it's a framework | 19:43 |
| xjjk | you need to find a GUI | 19:43 |
| === ubuntu is now known as lucidfailsme | ||
| xjjk | and probably read up how to use it | 19:43 |
| xjjk | KVM performs a *lot* better AFAIK | 19:43 |
| faultline | i just wanna play city of heroes and villains and maybe requiem: memento mori on here lol | 19:44 |
| xjjk | oh, games | 19:44 |
| arch0njw | ilter_: No output...? I feel bad saying this, but my expertise is at an end at this point. Wish I knew more to help out. | 19:44 |
| xjjk | wine is your best bet | 19:44 |
| faultline | And I am not sure how to work wine real well... | 19:44 |
| xjjk | it's difficult to virtualize 3D hardware | 19:44 |
| xjjk | Virtualbox (non-FOSS version) has 3D accel, but nowhere near native speed | 19:44 |
| xjjk | WINE can get to native speed | 19:44 |
| ilter_ | arch0njw: when i tried this command with --readwrite option it gives one line output as below; | 19:45 |
| ilter_ | The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). | 19:45 |
| faultline | How can I speed it up? | 19:45 |
| xjjk | faultline: I'm not sure | 19:45 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: so my guess was right :) | 19:45 |
| xjjk | faultline: if you don't mind spending money, you may want to look at crossover games | 19:46 |
| ilter_ | mefisto_: what was your guess? | 19:46 |
| xjjk | faultline: it's a WINE distribution that's supposed to be a bit more polished/optimized | 19:46 |
| faultline | Im broke lol | 19:46 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: that the partition was unclean and ntfs-3g was not mounting it for that reason | 19:46 |
| faultline | Im trryin for makin WINE work a little faster maybe...do you know much about it? I apparently cant connect to #winehq | 19:46 |
| ilter_ | What does it mean? But i can use it from windows machine .. | 19:47 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: use windows to check and fix that partition, then *safely remove* before unplugging, and it should mount | 19:47 |
| mefisto__ | ilter_: you could also do a forced mount, but it's safer to check it in windows | 19:48 |
| xjjk | ilter_: yeh... Windows is a POS | 19:48 |
| ilter_ | Should i need to format it to fix that partiton? | 19:48 |
| xjjk | ilter_: boot into Windows | 19:48 |
| xjjk | run chkdsk /r | 19:48 |
| xjjk | follow instructions | 19:48 |
| xjjk | reboot twice (twice is important) | 19:48 |

| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| xjjk | ilter_: Windows will keep using the filesystem even if there are consistency problems | 19:48 |
| xjjk | whether you think that is bad or good is up to you | 19:49 |
| lalalol | hi, i updated to KDE 4.4.1 and the backspace key works again in my browser, and i cant remember how i disabled it, who can help? | 19:50 |
| ilter_ | xjjk: what is POS? Can i fix second partition from windows without format? | 19:50 |
| xjjk | ilter_: look up POS on the Internet, this is a family channel and I can't define it | 19:50 |
| xjjk | ilter_: read what I said | 19:50 |
| xjjk | you do not need to format, but you do need Windows to fix the problem | 19:50 |
| maco | ilter_: Piece of Poo (replace "poo" as needed) | 19:51 |
| mefisto__ | hehe. windows is POP | 19:51 |
| ilter_ | :) Ok i got it. I agree with you about windows. | 19:52 |
| ilter_ | Ok xjjk i'm going to try fix it from POS windows :) | 19:52 |
| xjjk | ilter_: in case I haven't emphasized, rebooting twice is important | 19:53 |
| xjjk | rebooting twice into Windows, that is | 19:53 |
| arch0njw | Brings a whole new meaning to Windows XP OS... | 19:53 |
| ilter_ | arch0njw, mefisto_ and xjjk thank you so much for your concerns. I'll ask you if i need help more for this issue. | 19:54 |
| penocio | how to install a .bin ? | 20:15 |
| arch0njw | penocio: usually, from the command-line: sh ./filename.bin | 20:16 |

| winXPuser | how do I install Gnome in Kubuntu? | 21:31 |
| Unksi | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 21:34 |
| Unksi | or install ubuntu-desktop in whatever is the package manager in kubuntu | 21:34 |
| winXPuser | why doesn't this command have "Gnome" in it? | 21:34 |
| Unksi | kpackagekit, i think? | 21:35 |
| Unksi | because its a meta package for the gnome desktop, which is called plain ubuntu | 21:35 |
| Unksi | as it is the default desktop environment | 21:35 |
| winXPuser | ok | 21:35 |

| ubottu | 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. :-) | 22:12 |

| at2500 | okay. with my msi wind u100 and kubuntu 9.10 my microphone wont work. it does make noises if i knock against it, but its not possible to get any useful sound. if anyone knows how the resolve the issue, please help me ;) | 22:16 |
| Matisse | this sounds like a hardware problem actually | 22:18 |
| at2500 | it isnt. the mic works with win xp | 22:19 |
| at2500 | i read about the problem, but i didnt find any solutions. | 22:19 |
| Matisse | but you could try to capture something with audacity and listen if it sounds like it should | 22:19 |
| at2500 | i'll try that. | 22:21 |
| alejo_ | <at2500> | 22:25 |
| at2500 | okay. so this is a skype-related problem, audacity works perfectly. thanks a lot | 22:35 |
| Matisse | at2500, look if theres a new skype version | 22:47 |
| at2500 | i just installed the newest skype directly from the website. no changes. it seems to be a skype/pulseaudio problem | 22:49 |
| Matisse | i think disabling pulseaudio ( shell: /etc/init.d/pulse stop or something) never makes problems | 22:50 |
| Matisse | try it | 22:50 |
| Matisse | I could always still playback music after stopping or killing pulse | 22:50 |

| tijesus77 | oui merci | 22:56 |
| Matisse | essayez ce | 22:56 |
| at2500 | err. okay. question: does or does not kubuntu 9.10 use pulseaudio? because i think on my desktop machine it is installed automatically | 22:57 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: it's not installed by default | 22:57 |
| at2500 | okay. how does software mixing then work in kubuntu? what daemon does it? | 22:58 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: phonon with xine backend. actually, you could try using the mplayer phonon backend instead | 22:59 |
| at2500 | so skype doesnt work in the newest version because it requieres pulseaudio? | 23:00 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: install phonon-backend-mplayer and change backend in systemsettings > multimedia | 23:00 |
| at2500 | what for? | 23:00 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: it may solve your problem. phonon normally uses the xine backend, but you could try with the mplayer backend instead | 23:01 |
| at2500 | isnt the mplayer backend still under heavy development it doesnt work good? | 23:02 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: I don't know, but it's working fine for me | 23:03 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 23:03 |
| at2500 | mh. phonon-backend-mplayer doesnt exist. thats sad. | 23:04 |

| at2500 | oh man, skype for linux sucks.i'll try that | 23:11 |
| at2500 | nah, with the mplayer backend its still the same. i think the missing pulseaudio is the problem. | 23:15 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: what about skype settings? do you have "allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels" on? | 23:17 |
| at2500 | no i disabled it and took the same settings that work in audacity | 23:17 |
| at2500 | i am searching for a packaged skype-static-oss | 23:17 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: disabled pulseaudio? | 23:18 |
| at2500 | its not installed ;) i think that is the problem, because on the skype website it says it needs pulseaudio | 23:18 |
| kimo | Hello | 23:33 |
| kimo | i need help | 23:34 |

| kimo | can I Help me | 23:36 |
| kimo | i want to see if Kubuntu can be runing in my 512 ram old pc | 23:36 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: look at the 3rd post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416539 that worked for me, I could see all audio hardware in skype settings, instead of just pulseaudio | 23:44 |
| at2500 | mefisto: i dont have pulseaudio installed. | 23:45 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | 23:45 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 23:45 |
| at2500 | i already can configure skype exactly the way i do it with audacity | 23:46 |
| at2500 | mefisto: but if i do so, the skype sound is blurred and fuzzy and not understandable. in audacity or when i unmute it in kde i can hear me clearly | 23:47 |
| mefisto__ | at2500: what about kmix settings? do you have a mic boost in kmix? | 23:55 |
| at2500_ | yes. and its activated. if i just unmute it, i can hear me perfectly. the problem only appear when using skype. | 23:58 |
| mefisto__ | so kmix mic boost on or off, it sounds the same in skype? | 23:59 |
