[00:29] obv on the front [00:29] Greggaz: left-click the connection button on the tray, it will list the available networks [00:31] Typos_King, its asking me if i wana go into panel settings [00:31] ? [00:31] Typos_King, where do u want me to click. as i see no Connection Button [00:31] that means you don't have a network to connect to or so [00:32] ive added the network to my network connections [00:32] there's usually a white square with a round dot in the middle, meaning to be the connectivity icon, for knetworkmanager [00:32] assuming knetworkmanager is running, which likely it's [00:33] i always had troubles with wireless in kubuntu, but a friend of mine said i should install gentoo [00:33] makes wireless a breeze [00:33] Typos_King, kNetworkmanager is Running :) [00:33] But no Wireless >.> [00:33] sooooo left-click it [00:33] what do you mean? it shows no available networks? [00:34] No there is no little "Box with a Dot in" [00:34] ive got Network Manager open [00:34] Greggaz: if wireless is being a pain you should seriously look at gentoo, it's much easier to set up wireless [00:34] open it more [00:34] heh [00:34] is it open enough? [00:34] can the bot unkick me? [00:35] i have a room to manage please [00:35] coolface, KnetworkManager is open on my desktop i see my network "hub" [00:35] ok what does the hub say [00:35] last used: Never [00:35] ok click it [00:35] ok [00:36] did you click it?

[00:39] then how will i speak in here [00:39] that changes everything [00:39] ok [00:39] first unplug it [00:39] if i unplug my box it would dc me from here [00:39] yea you'll need to do that [00:40] and let the router power cycle [00:40] ...

[00:45] yes [00:45] * coolface [00:46] in Network Connections it says [00:46] Connection: Hub [00:46] ok [00:46] Last used: Never [00:46] click it [00:46] done [00:46] you clicked it?

[18:15] Or basic copy and paste rofl [18:15] thats what pressing tab should do [18:15] cause you need to escape the spaces [18:16] escape te spaces? [18:16] And it says no such file or directory...

[18:20] Any clue what that error means [18:21] yea wine screwed up the networking support, again [18:21] iirc thats the same error i got for divine divinity back at 1.0 [18:22] faultline: something to try: wine emulates WinXP environment by default. changing that to another version of windows (eg win98) may work [18:22] assuming it ever worked for you, your best bet is to update to latest or downgrade to the last known working version [18:23] ah that could work if the app detects the os and does its networking diffrently based on that [18:23] with DD, it wasnt a option [18:25] O,o [18:25] How can i fix this...lol.... [18:25] Im a dumbass to linux [18:26] well do like mefisto__said, change the default os it runs as [18:26] type winecfg [18:27] How thought rofl....oh wait terminal>winecfg?

[20:23] felipe_crimson, have you installed that? [20:23] human: yes. I'm trying to run windows xp for a test. and says: "no bootable device" [20:24] felipe_crimson, you must launch QtEmu [20:25] felipe_crimson press "create new machine", set the boot option from CD image, set virtual HDD size and start the machine [20:26] human: I already do that. then one mensage says: no bootable device [20:27] felipe_crimson, you are trying to boot from CD? [20:27] human: no. [20:27] felipe_crimson, CD-image? [20:28] who can help please? a week or so ago i installed a language on my system, removed it, but some apps are still in that removed language, during that week i have prob "rebooted" like 6 times [20:28] human: no. I just choose the option windows xp then I push the start button [20:29] felipe_crimson, have the bootable CD? [20:29] human: no. [20:30] human: Do I have to install the windows xp with a cd, right? [20:30] human: I think the qtemu already have the windows xp installed. [20:31] felipe_crimson, yes you cannot start virtual machine without it, it is true form qtemu and vmware. Virtual Machine works with bootable CD like you install OS to you computer. Virtual Machine creates virtual computer(hardware) you can work with, but now virtual SOFTWARE [20:31] human: ok. thanks. [20:31] grr wtf. is flash/firefox/youtube broken again? I just get a grey box where the video is supposed to be... [20:32] felipe_crimson, when you set the option windows xp, you show it to the virtual machine for creating more compartibility, such as virtual sound cards and virtual network cards [20:34] felipe_crimson if you want to start windows applications in linux you should use Wine. Many applications and games for windows work with it, such as Quake, World of Warcraft and others, but not all. [20:34] human: I know that, the wine is already installed here, but thanks anyway [20:35] felipe_crimson, ok, excuse me, I am going to sleep, it is 23:34 in my city [20:35] Good luck, gentlemen! [20:37] why are people so scared of linux ? [20:37] sithlord48: because of what Capt Kirk said [20:37] ? [20:39] srdjan, i don't get it .. [20:39] sithlord48: hang on - trying to find the clip on youtube [20:39] ok [20:41] brb , got to restart kde [20:42] hello all ok back [20:43] srdjan, do you know what epsoide its from ? [20:44] sithlord48: undiscovered country [20:44] ok do u know about when in the ep? [20:45] Hey guys [20:45] boesmans , what up ? [20:45] sithlord48: right at the end when Kirk addresses madam chancellor of the Klingon empire [20:45] had a week off, still looking for a way to get my dekstop back.. I mean, i have the Showdesktop widget, but it shows my desktop.. before i messed up, when i was on my desktop i had always a window showing what i dl to my desktop.. now i don't have that anymore? [20:46] you can all a folder view widget to you desktop and point it to you download folder [20:47] sithlord48: "People can be very frightened of change." [20:47] thats the fun of linux, tryin to repair things [20:47] srdjan, lol was looking for a bit more of that but yea [20:47] :) [20:47] its not all bad after a while you learn how to not break things [20:48] yes but sometimes things break on your behalf [20:48] like crappy firefox [20:48] excatly [20:48] whats broken in firefox.. [20:49] cause it seams to work fine over here [20:49] I could not play any videos on youtube. just got a gray box instead of the video player. killed firefox and restared and its working fine again. [20:50] thats flash crashed.. [20:50] firefox is also painfully slow with javascript [20:50] not firefoxes falut.. [20:50] who use firefox after chrome is out [20:50] i guess that depends on that java you have... don't seam to show here [20:50] people use chrome really? [20:50] not java, javascript [20:51] i dont even remember firefox [20:51] i don't notice.. [20:51] i think i have chrome installed but i havent' fiddled with it much , been using opera mostly [20:52] i dont like about Opera is the stupid widgets and not extension [20:52] i don't like it that much either [20:52] like firefox or chrome [20:52] someone? [20:53] boesmans, right click on desktop add widget choose folder view , [20:53] boesmans, that will add one to your desktop, i persume this is what you talking about, you may have to config it futher by using the wrench icon on its handle when u mouse over the edge. [20:55] thanks sithlord48 ^^ it was that, show desktop folder then [20:55] thanks [20:55] cvd, i like FF too, but i have been trying to use opera see if i can adjust to it or a really just don't like it [20:55] boesmans, np... === vito__ is now known as ospite [21:05] anyone notice a color issue using qtcurve theme for gtk apps? [21:06] tamran: what color issue? [21:07] well, what should be a dark/black color is showing up as white [21:07] hmm [21:07] google chrome browser shows the issue quite nicely if you have the "obsidian coast" theme [21:07] I see only black here, yes, only black (: [21:08] and set chrome to use gtk theme [21:08] I think just one color gets forgotten ... so I've got white text with white background. [21:09] the color is the one connected to the border color of back windows ... [21:09] err, inactive windows [21:09] other than that, it's perfect :) [21:09] if I use a white/light theme, I have no issues [21:10] I'm sure it was just a forgotten link somewhere [21:10] need hlp with browser [21:12] is there any updates for this Browser???? [21:12] does any one know if ssd "trim" is supported w/ karmic [21:13] here's a better question ... how can I find out the details of what the gtk theme setup does? [21:14] new to thos [21:14] new to this [21:18] tamran, have you restarted chrome?... [21:18] lalalol: yeah, it's persistent [21:19] weird [21:19] it's not such a huge deal, and only affects "dark" themes (light text on dark background) [21:19] I know the color it's having an issue with [21:20] the border color for inactive windows [21:20] lalalol: do you have chrome working ok? [21:21] tamran, i use Iron [21:21] what's iron? [21:21] is that a different build of chrome? [21:21] bah i did something stupid again... while right clickin at the bottom of my screen, i click add panel twice.. now when i maximalize a window, it doesn't fill my whole screen :p [21:21] google chrome without the monitoring from google [21:21] fixed it tho, but i need to stop clickin everything i see :D [21:22] tamran, i advise chromium though, but with all google features turned off [21:22] the only thing I really like about that is the syncing of bookmarks [21:22] last time I tried chromium it was aweful [21:22] you used the PPA? [21:22] is there a kde-dressed version of it? that would be great [21:23] lalalol: you mean the google ppa? [21:23] unfortunately not :( [21:23] no, the chromium-browser ppa [21:23] I believe I did [21:23] it auto updates [21:23] but have wiped this machine SOOOO many times since then [21:23] strange, i didnt experience any bugs with it [21:23] well, it was the fonts and such [21:23] they SUUUUCKED :) [21:24] lalalol: so there's chrome, chromium, AND iron? [21:24] is chromium cleaner than chrome? [21:24] the only thing chrome is better than chromium and iron is the h.624 codec or so, to get html5 working on YT [21:24] I mean, less resource hungry and such [21:24] mefisto__, yes [21:24] its the same tamran [21:24] dang, I use the html5 youtube beta [21:25] I'm curious about this "Iron" program [21:25] tamran: chromium uses slightly less ram, last time I compared the two [21:25] then youll want to wait till that codec gets standard built into chromium and iron [21:25] oh my bad, i thought it was the same [21:25] tamran, SRWare Iron [21:26] mefisto__: does it do syncing of bookmarks and such? [21:26] errr, better question: [21:26] yeah it does [21:26] tamran: yes it syncs bookmarks [21:26] can I run chromium and chrome side by side with no issues? [21:26] tamran: yes, I have both installed and both can run simultaneously [21:27] ok, I'll check out chromium ... [21:27] thanks guys, great help :) [21:28] yw :) [21:28] tamran, can you answer this since youre using the html5 beta? have you experienced any issues with the beta? [21:29] lalalol: yeah, a couple. 1st thing is that it shows 100% loaded on the progress bar immediately, even though it's not [21:29] that said, html5 runs nicer, even though it doesn't use less resources [21:30] say what? [21:30] it doesnt use less resources? [21:30] the second issue is that it doesn't eliminate flash on all videos, for example if there is an advert in the video it goes to the flash version [21:30] lalalol: nah, not at all ... it's the same CPU wise [21:30] do you have a flashblocker? then it might always do html5 i think [21:31] huh? thats weird [21:31] if I "extract" the video to my hard drive locally and play it, it uses half the resources [21:31] so, I don't know what is going on there [21:31] youre not joking right? [21:31] not joking [21:31] then the beta fails lol [21:32] it's snappier and faster to use, but side by side cpu graph comparisions show no/little difference forme [21:32] ok, I'm confused as to which PPA to use ... do I want the daily ones? [21:33] * tamran prefers the stable-ish, update maybe once a week version if possible [21:33] https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta <- ?? [21:38] ppa:chromium-daily/ppa <- that's what I used [21:42] hi, what's default package manager in kubuntu? (with gui) [21:43] Sufixx: try kpackagekit [21:43] Hey, I've kinda got used to KDE a bit now... which is a big help - I usually just format it anytime I try it lol [21:43] use "adept" [21:43] Sufixx: synaptic also works (lots of people use it even in kde) [21:43] Can I get a distro of kde that has less shit in it? [21:43] I can't think of a better way to put it [21:43] Minimal! thats what I mean, not less shit [21:43] lantizia: please tell me the answer when you get it ... I have a similar feeling :) [21:44] tamran: well I'm on Linux Mint KDE... which is a bit of a help... firefox/thunderbird/songbird out the box [21:44] lantizia: Arch linux has a kdemod install, which lets you strip out some of the bloat === tv_ is now known as avihay_tv [21:44] lantizia: but not sure on ubuntu/kubuntu yet [21:44] hahaha [21:45] lantizia: I like the way you first put it :) [21:45] lantizia: perhaps try an Ubuntu minimal install, then just install kde? [21:45] tamran: thx, I haven't been using kubuntu for years and now I'm helping my newbie-friend (I thought that adept still is def manager) :) [21:45] tamran: is there like a kde-core package or something? [21:45] oh, adept probablly is, but I always use kpackagekit [21:46] lantizia: I'm pretty sure there is kde and kubuntu-desktop ... there's discussion in the forums about it I believe === brucelee is now known as duendecillo [21:52] YEAH, chromium does the gtk colors right! [21:52] thanks mefisto__ and lalalol [21:53] ok, so ... now how does one turn off google tracking with chromium? [21:54] there is google tracking?? [21:54] srdjan: I'm not sure ... I'm lead to believe there is [21:55] srdjan: if Iwas google, I'd be doing tracking ... you know, not for nefarious purposes of course [21:55] :) [21:55] :) [21:55] well i was just peer-pressured into installing chromium [21:55] so i hope it's not tracking me [21:56] srdjan: me too! it's nice so far. I'll say this, tracking or not, chrome is a huge improvement over even firefox [21:56] hi, somebody help me plase [21:57] when i install kubuntu-restricted-extras, it closes the software manager [21:57] chorme will spoil you, i cant even go to different browsers now [21:57] hey yall anyone know a way i can get my drivers for my belkin F5D7050 ver.5000 working from the .exe or find an iso for the original copy of the driver disc for ubuntu?

Did you install the addin's for Konquerer browser? [22:00] see with ndiswrapper i can install it like i did most other windows drivers and use the .inf file [22:00] tamran: no, and i unistalled konquerer [22:00] dmdevotee: I'm trying to track this issue down as well, as I can't seem to install the restricted extras [22:00] you can uninstall konquerer!?

I tried out gentoo. really liked it, except that I kept getting package blocks almost every day. and it became a massive pain to use it. pitty though :( [22:17] srdjan: yeah, too many options supported, too little support ... you HAVE to go unstable stream in that or you're hoooped. unstable in gentoo is actually MORE stable on 64bit [22:17] sudo apt-get install compiz .... anyone remember the rest of the command? [22:18] lol i might have to look it up [22:18] anybody knows if there is a easy way to share files / directories between a virtualbox machine and kubuntu? [22:18] wait think the rest was compiz-manager- something hmmm [22:18] erk10: do you not already have it enabled/installed? [22:18] srdjan: I have days where I want to go back ... but a little patience and getting a toolchain installed eased my "frustration" a bit [22:18] it doesnt come with this flavor of ubuntu [22:18] and you cant see it in the software manager either i have it running on a vpc on my solaris machine [22:18] tamran: yes i want to go back. only used it on and off for a few weeks. very much liked emerge [22:19] thats ight i'll just look it up on that computer real quick [22:19] erk10: was it something like "cssm" ? [22:20] nah here it is its sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-settings-manager [22:20] knew it was something like that lol [22:20] srdjan: try getting the toolchain installed on Ubuntu ... I think it was "checkinstall" package? Google "build packages" on ubuntu. You can hack pretty much everything [22:20] ugh i should do some ironing [22:21] srdjan: if you do go use gentoo, it works nicely but requires daily work. Eventually you'll get sick of it. There is also Arch linux, but I didn't have the patience to get that deep ... I just like to slice through the bloat === finux_ is now known as finux [22:22] tamran: thats assuming i want to hack ubuntu... i just use it now as i was getting annoyed with lack of updates for slackware === finux is now known as help === help is now known as finux [22:22] srdjan: you may have the same thing I do ... I actually find watching code compile soothing :/ [22:22] man ubuntu is retarded easy to use lol [22:23] compiz up and runnin this machine is lookin like a pimp [22:23] I used to have a gentoo box hooked up to the TV and would have code compiling in a PIP window [22:23] hel yea lol [22:23] tamran: me too [22:23] should see some of the crazy stuff im doin these days since everything is gettin so advanced [22:23] srdjan: I can't explain it, but yeah ... soothing [22:24] of course, anxiety would set in if a compile fails :) [22:24] yup soothing :] [22:24] lol tam [22:24] any recommendations about gnome-commander type soft for kubuntu? [22:24] its one of those /wrists moments huh lol [22:24] i might download pornview and compile from source [22:25] i have a suggestion use gnome! [22:25] srdjan: those gentoo guys are all pretty nice too, it takes you a matter of days to start helping other newbs ... after using it for 3 days I was ssh'ign into peoples boxes with screen to walk them through an install ... within days, they were helping others [22:25] do you mean gnome, or gnome commander? [22:25] tamran: wow. people are so trusting? [22:25] brb just did an update [22:25] srdjan: there is an ubuntu package build faq somewhere. You can make your own package quite easily with that [22:26] srdjan: well, it was in screen, so they could totally watch what I did [22:26] tamran: make install into /usr/local/stow/package/packagename/ and then use stow :) [22:26] srdjan: what's stow?

Does enyone have this scaner?

[22:41] gotta have wine installed to use utorrent though [22:41] utorrent isn't a linux app is it? [22:41] ooh need wine for Tiberian Sun... [22:42] no its not a linux app but like i said if you have wine installed it works [22:42] yes [22:42] also if you get crossover you can use damn near any windows software [22:42] I've got VMWare for that stuff [22:42] I'd like to keep my viruses in a sandbox if possible :) [22:42] virtualbox is much better than vmware [22:42] and its opensource [22:42] lol [22:43] well virtualbox wont be as secure to the host os as vmware is so you might wanna stick with vmware [22:43] your still never 100% secure [22:43] im real big into virtualization use vmware at work with vsphere and all the goodies [22:43] erk10: fair enough ... but I like to "ride bareback" as they say when using windows [22:43] yea [22:44] brb [22:44] anyone got magnet links to work using chromium browser? [22:44] on kde of course [22:45] it works out of the box in gnome (Ubuntu) [22:48] lol the media plugin for .wma files is called ugly i love it [22:50] tamran out of curiousity which vmware you using? [22:51] vmware 7 [22:51] right on [22:51] it works pretty good [22:51] you seen what they have in store for it in the future? [22:51] well, their server stuff is absolutely awesoe ... but I doubt I'd ever use it [22:51] eventually all the os's will run as a single os or thats how it will appear [22:51] the client stuff works best on the mac though [22:52] yea fusion 3 is sexy [22:52] i have it on my mac [22:52] it's not as good on Linux ... but I can play some 3d games with little issue [22:52] unix based and linux based os's is the only way to go [22:53] so, I use it only when neccesary ... I don't want to make it too easy for myself to run windows apps ... [22:53] and I ABSOLUTELY like the way I can do snapshots [22:54] talk about awesome [22:54] woah, chromium is definitely snappier than chrome so far [22:57] Does wine just not like KDE???
