[00:01] my computer make beeps when i shutdown kubuntu, is this normal? it can be disabled? [00:01] shutdown or restart [00:02] hi, got a problem [00:02] i upgraded to lucid, but after upgrading and restart, i cant start X [00:02] got an error: Failed to load module "radeon" (module does not exist, o) [00:03] anyone know how to solve? [00:08] dmdevotee: When? [00:08] Your BIOS beeps at certain times [00:08] hi [00:08] Startup and shutdown are two of those times [00:08] !hi | Matisse [00:08] Matisse: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [00:09] dmdevotee: I think it may be a 'notification' sound, you can turn those off under System settings > advanced > notifications [00:09] I'm experiencing some problems since i upgraded to KDE 4.4. I got 2 tasklines and no window borders (those with close- and maximize-button) [00:10] has somebody already solved this problems? [00:10] Matisse: can you jump to a virtual terminal ? [00:10] yes === CrissiD_afk is now known as CrissiD [00:10] its working fine [00:10] only this to bugs [00:10] *2 [00:12] typos_king: is there a notifications menu under System settings > advanced > notifications in kubuntu 9.10? i heard that some differences of KDE versions.. [00:13] i have the menu in spanish, and i can't find "notificaciones" or something else [00:13] it may not be in Advanced, but it's there [00:13] oh yes! [00:13] thanks [00:13] daskreech, do you have an idea? [00:15] but i am talking about beeps of the motherboard, not sound clips [00:15] ... like... can you describe them? [00:16] I know, you mean to say coming from the mb speaker, rather than the soundcard [00:16] but... dunno. can't say, could even be a bios setting [00:16] daskreech: the motherboard beeps when i reboot or shutdown [00:16] only happens in kubuntu [00:17] might be drivers.. [00:17] i thinked that could be there an option, since only happens in kubuntu (not tried other kde linux distribution) [00:17] maybe try installing the linux-backports-modules [00:17] I think so too [00:18] I have it, and I don't get it :| [00:19] your motherboard doesn't beep when shutdown kubuntu? [00:19] nope [00:19] then again, I don't use kde WM [00:19] :) [00:20] dmdevotee: what else do you have installed? [00:21] Typos_King: likely the kde4init not the wm that's causing the beep [00:22] if i remember correctly, i have knowledge of that matter since the first reboot... [00:22] what is wm? === stephen is now known as Guest3096 === patrick is now known as Guest93018 [00:25] i'll try adding blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:26] damn. i was seconds away from telling him what a feep was... o well... [00:28] djustice: A feep? [00:35] How do I change the default action of a click in KDE? I keeps wanting to double click/launch the file. I just want the first to select, not launch. === zbenjamin is now known as zbenjamin|away [01:13] Anyone ever get a program showing up as an icon in the Kicker panel ("systray") that you can't get rid of? How do you get rid of it? === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak === jeff_ is now known as Guest20925 [01:29] how do i view how much data i have downloaded? [01:37] kwtm: Hmm? [01:38] Kicker as in KDE3? [01:38] schultza: did you look in System Settings -> mouse ? [01:38] KDE3. I have this little icon that apparently Adobe decided to install when I installed the Adobe PDF reader. [01:38] I want to get rid of it but right-clicking does not show that option in the menu. I don't know what the program is called so I can't killall it. [01:39] Is there some way to ask Kicker what program is showing that icon so I can kill -9 it? [01:42] kwtm: I'd do a grep on processes and look for something adobenamed [01:43] daskreech: Tried that already. No way for Kicker to tell us what icon is taking up space? [01:43] kwtm: Nope Kicker is just a container [01:43] It doesn't know anything about the contents [01:43] Hey, I found a bug in fluxbox. What should I do? [01:44] sea__: File the bug [01:45] as soon as I figure out how to describe it. :\ [01:52] daskreech: Can I double-click the icon, open the window, and then somehow find the process that is making the window? I mean, xkill knows what process owns the window right? Can I find out, too? [01:53] kwtm: It knows the Xwindow descriptor [01:53] which X translates to a PID [01:54] Okay. How do I get the Xwindow descriptor? Will that lead me to a Process ID? [01:54] kwtm: What are you trying to do? [01:55] I'm trying to find out which process spawned the process that owns the window, so I can get rid of that process (which probably owns the icon in my systray). [01:56] Awww, ffffrick!!! [01:56] I found it. [01:56] It was named "Adobe", not "adobe". [01:56] Note to self: set alias for "ps -ef | grep -i", not just "ps -ef | grep". :P [01:56] kwtm: :-) [01:57] kwtm: Propietary companies Llove caps [01:58] KILL SynchronizerApp-binary!!!! [01:58] Yess!! It worked. Stupid adobe! Trying to stick bloatware on my linux computer. [02:00] kwtm: Probably started with the KDE session [02:01] should stop now hopefully [02:02] daskreech: No, no. My KDE session is about 2 months old now. I'm pretty sure it appeared when I launched that Adobe Plug-In reader in Firefox because, *somehow*, Firefox is incapable of doing "open with" when it loads a URL: it has to either SAVE to a file or OPEN it in a firefox tab using whatever evil plugins some proprietary company dreamed up. [02:03] I guess I should update Firefox. Since I'm still on 3.0.x and it's now, what, 3.3.x? 3.4.x? [02:05] 3.6 [02:06] alguna espa;ola___ [02:07] alguna espanola [02:07] !es [02:07] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [02:07] Hey, I just checked, and my 8.04 (which is currently the latest LTS version) still uses Firefox 3.0.x. Boy, this long-term support thing isn't what I thought it was. [02:07] kwtm: It has long term support [02:07] Can't wait for 10.04 so I can get some support. [02:08] you have support [02:09] just for firefox 3.0 [02:09] :-) [02:09] daskreech: Well, I'm thankful for that. I guess what I'm saying is that everyone else is using 3.5+ on Firefox and I'm feeling a bit vulnerable on 3.0.x , but as long as it has no major vulnerabilities, I don't need the latest and greatest. THough 3.2.x would have been nice. [02:10] kwtm: Yeah FOSS moves far too quickly [02:11] daskreech: Yeah, the point of my switching to Linux was so I wouldn't be trapped on the upgrade treadmill. After all, Linux runs on legacy hardware and MS doesn't. But I felt very alienated with this KDE4 thing. [02:11] I'm amazed at the crazy difference in KDE 4.0 and KDE 4.4 [02:11] kwtm: How so? [02:12] Once Kubuntu 10.04 comes out, I'll feel ready to spend time learning KDE4 knowing it will be worthwhile. But as you yourself said, the differences between KDE4.0 and KDE4.4... well, I don't want to have to keep tinkering with my computer. I just want it to work. [02:12] I wrote a bazillion DCOP scripts for KDE3 and now I have to convert them all to Dbus scripts for KDE4. [02:12] kwtm: What constitutes working? [02:12] kwtm: oooh yeah [02:13] daskreech: "working" = 1) It does what I want it to do, and 2) I know how to make it do what I want it to do (implying that I don't have to spend time relearning, no matter how much "better" the new system is) [02:13] You should probably go to the forums and ask people to help with the conversion [02:14] daskreech: It's not a simple conversion, either... I tried using dbus and it kept saying "no permission" or something. THis is for something as mundane [02:14] as mundane as pasting a timestamp into the clipboard (Klipper) which I do instinctively probably a dozen times an hour. [02:14] If it doesn't work, my workflow grinds to a halt. Then I'm back to tinkering. [02:14] I think that Klipper can do that by itself now [02:15] daskreech: Well, I have my own very compact 6-character timestamp which I brand my files with (e.g. my photos are renamed that.) [02:15] For example, the time now is A3HJFQ [02:15] Ok [02:15] right [02:16] so you need the dcop section of that to be converted to dbus [02:16] Last year the first digit was 9 (for 2009), and before it was (8). THe 3 means March. H means 17 (March 17 now). Etc. So all my scripts are there, and it's not like I can't do bash programming. [02:16] I just don't want ot have to do it all over again. I might even end up writing a Dcop->Dbus wrapper to avoid having to recode my scripts. [02:17] I am willing to re-learn stuff every few years, so I plan to set aside some time to learn KDE4. But when it first came out, it was way too unstable for me to use. [02:17] Anyway, gotta run. Thanks for listening! [02:17] Wonder if someone did that already [02:17] ok [02:17] later [02:31] hello [02:32] hello [02:35] i have a problem:how to set the font courier new 8 in vim?

[05:40] hi [05:40] !hi [05:40] I just installed kubuntu :) [05:40] I am happy :) [05:40] jasin: yay! :) [05:41] so much better than any microsofty or apple OS I've used. [05:41] you just installed it :) [05:41] Give it time [06:07] Hey all, is it possible to run two instances of kde as the same user at the same time on one system, I have setup Xvfb, a virtual xserver, which I use with x11vnc, and I want to start a second instance of kde using display:1, but I get a bunch of dbus errors, and then it quits with errors. [06:08] Is there a way to do this? [06:09] gkffjcs: yeah but not at the same time though [06:11] that's annoying... :-( [06:12] gkffjcs: yes you can but it's incredibly annoying [06:12] why do you want to do that? [06:14] My laptop is sort of an obnoxious resolution, the ultimate solution for me, would be to have x11vnc, run xrandr, change the res, when I connect, and then set it back when I disconnect, since my laptop is not a good res for most remote connections, but I've been searching through the x11vnc man pages, and haven't figured out how to do that yet. [06:14] So I thought starting a second session in Xvfb woudl be the next better solution but I guess not. [06:17] If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them === earthquake_ is now known as MICHA01 [07:03] hello === 16SAAAE96 is now known as pawel__ [07:15] areichman: hi === pawel__ is now known as pawel___ === pawel___ is now known as pawel__ [07:16] gkffjcs: So when you connect remotely you can't see anything? [07:18] I'm actually using a combination, of stuff, and xrdp.. I have managed to make remote connections, but I can't get kde to work fully, If I start dolphin, I can use that as a sort of poormans desktop. Using application:/ to launch stuff etc.. [07:18] right now I'm researching xpera... [07:19] it doesn't seem to do exactly what I want, but it's written in python, and I'm a somewhat decent python hacker, so I might be able to mess with it, which would be sweet. [07:19] but for now I'm going to bed... G'night! [07:35] hello? [07:37] ryan_: hello! [07:38] anyone on [07:39] ryan_: there are plenty of people on :) Though this can be quite a slow channel sometimes [07:39] ryan_: Are you having a problem that you're looking for help with? [07:39] helloooo [07:40] yeah i guess i kinda am [07:40] !ask [07:40] 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. :-) [07:40] Well, what kind of problem are you having? [07:40] where are the other channels [07:41] im new to this so whats a version request? [07:42] ryan_: I was simply asking your IRC client what client it actually is - that's what a CTCP Version request is [07:42] uh.... i dont get it [07:42] What part? [07:43] When someone sends a Version request, your IRC client (in this case, Konversation) tells them that you're using Konversation [07:44] As for your original question - where are the other channels - you can press F5 and it will bring up a list of all of the channels on Freenode [07:44] ok but didnt you know i was on that already and ok ill try that [07:46] it may take a while for the list to appear - its quite a long list. Is there a specific channel you're looking for? [07:47] well i pressed it, the list came up but there is no channels in it [07:47] o wain nvm its up. thanks [07:48] No problem :) It takes a while since there are so many channels [07:50] yeah it keeps on going. it said user friendly when i came here but idk about that [07:52] If you've never used IRC before, it can be a little intimidating. It's a lot different than any other chat service that you're used to. [07:53] hardly use the others so im pretty sure they all would be confusing :) [07:53] Well IRC is definitely the most confusing [07:54] dosent seem too hard. i just am trying to find a classic "chat" room. all of them seem to be about info on other things [07:55] ryan_: One thing to note is that this IRC network, Freenode, is primarily focused on providing support for various open source software programs [07:55] ryan_: you can join #kubuntu-offtopic for general chat [07:56] There are other, more social channels, though, such as #ubuntu-offtopic and #kubuntu-offtopic [07:56] linux needs to label there software a bit better then [07:57] ryan_: why? how is konversation labelled? [07:58] ryan_: there are other IRC networks that are more for social discussions and stuff like that. The program connects to Freenode (and this channel in particular) by default so that users who need help can access it easily [07:58] well in any case, there is something i have a question about. though im not sure if it can be answered. o and its labelled as a user friendly chat [07:59] its an OS question [08:00] just ask [08:00] We can definitely try to help with that :) [08:01] well im on linux and when ever i try to run a disk in the drive, as soon as it closes, my desktop goes blank and the only thing it lets me do is click on the menu. is there a reason its doing this? [08:03] ryan_: you mean when you eject the disk? [08:04] no right as i put it in. any disk. movie, software, music, just any disk. [08:06] even the linux disk wont work. i boot it in my computer first and when it runs the OS from the disk, none of the icons show. so i cant format the hard drive. i can only partition it alongside windows [08:06] ryan_: and that's all you're doing? just inserting the disk make your desktop go blank? [08:07] the icons just go away and it dose not let me into anything. it still runs but its like it locks out everything but the menu [08:07] good morning [08:07] i have a kickogg item that i have deleted, but i see it, if i search in kickoff.. how to remove it really? i use kmenuedit to edit kickoff. [08:08] ryan_: so you haven't installed kubuntu yet? you're running the livecd? [08:08] havent heard ov that. what is it? [08:09] ryan_: you're using the word "it" quite a lot and I'm having trouble understanding what all the "it"s refer to [08:09] morning, I got the message from NickServ that my nick is already registered [08:10] but when I want to identify, it says it is not registered yet [08:10] so what am I doing wrong? [08:10] skramer_: Is your nick supposed to have an underscore at the end? [08:10] FireCrotch: no, actually t should be without the underscore [08:10] sorry. what is kubuntu [08:10] skramer_: have you previously registered your nick? [08:11] FireCrotch: I just put the information into Quassel, nothing else [08:11] FireCrotch: anything else I need to do? [08:11] skramer_: If you've been connected to the network all night but away, you'll have to re-identify with Nickserv. there was a netsplit, and you were probably on the side of it that NickServ wasn't on [08:12] skramer_: just do /nick skramer then /msg nickserv identify yourpassword [08:12] ryan_: kubuntu is the linux distribution that this channel is devoted to. http://www.kubuntu.org [08:12] FireCrotch: I just wonder what should be my password, then [08:12] FireCrotch: I never needed to give a password [08:13] idk if i do or not then. im not that educated on anything with linux [08:14] skramer_: did you ever register your nickname? skramer is registered, since about a year ago, I'm assuming this was you. [08:15] FireCrotch: I'm not sure if I did... [08:15] skramer_: you probably had to enter your password into quassel when you set up quassel [08:15] skramer_: if so, it's likely saved in quassel, so you can try just closing and restarting it - it should automatically set you up :) === ubuntu is now known as Ahmed [08:16] Hi [08:16] hello [08:16] FireCrotch: ok, I'll try again === Ahmed is now known as Guest14268 [08:16] FireCrotch: I already re-started, but NickServ still complaining... [08:16] What is GDebi Package installer (gdebi-KDE) === Guest14268 is now known as \Ahmed === david is now known as Guest83539 [08:17] FireCrotch: and whenever I start Quassel, I get the underscore at the end of my nick [08:17] <\Ahmed> Guest 14268 is me :) [08:17] Guest83539: the program that pops up to install software when you double click on a .deb [08:17] bah [08:17] ok :) [08:17] \Ahmed: that was at you [08:17] <\Ahmed> Okay thanks [08:17] <\Ahmed> yeah :) [08:17] <\Ahmed> Okay one more thing [08:17] wow [08:18] <\Ahmed> I have just installed ubuntu yesterday and i heard the upcoming release will be soon so do i have to format again to install Lynx or will i get that by updating ? [08:18] \Ahmed: youre on 9.10? [08:18] <\Ahmed> Yeah [08:18] the updater will offer to take you up to it then [08:18] <\Ahmed> Ubuntu 9.10 KK [08:19] <\Ahmed> So how many MB ? will it be any idea ? cause at the moment i am having a slower connection [08:20] <\Ahmed> The same way like now updater says Ubuntu 9.10 availble ? so its gonna add Lynx soon, right ? [08:21] \Ahmed: lynx? you mean the browser? [08:21] skramer_: if you're the one who registered the nick (which I would assume you are if you've been using it) and you're not able to identify, you might have to get a Freenode staff member to help you out [08:22] <\Ahmed> NO no i meant the new Lucid Lynx Long term licence etc i dont know it well [08:22] FireCrotch: and how do I do that? how to contact them? [08:22] <\Ahmed> I'm thinking to switch to it when its gonna be on updater as that guy wrote me up there [08:23] <-- chick [08:23] FireCrotch: I also wonder why there is no "setup" of my nick in Quassel [08:23] iconmefisto: \Ahmed means lucid [08:23] \Ahmed: yes, it will be available some time in april. [08:23] FireCrotch: there is only the nckname, but no further options except rename it or delete it [08:23] FireCrotch: nothing about password, etc. [08:23] FireCrotch: on the server you can set a nickserv password [08:24] er.. [08:24] skramer_: that was at you [08:24] <\Ahmed> Yeah i see but what i wanna know is, will i able to install it through updates as installing KDE (cause i have installed it once) SO is it the very same way ? [08:24] <\Ahmed> :) [08:24] skramer_: go to networks in your configuration, then go to "auto identify" tab and you can check "nickserv" and give it the password [08:25] <\Ahmed> OMG everyone is a geek in here :P [08:25] \Ahmed: the updater will offer you both normal updates for the current version and the option to upgrade to the new release [08:25] it looks like "skramer" is identified right now though [08:25] \Ahmed: you can download the lucid (10.04) iso and install it, or you can upgrade your current 9.10 install [08:26] <\Ahmed> Oh thank you :) [08:26] <\Ahmed> Is it the name in full (Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Alpha 1) ?? [08:27] <\Ahmed> Which messenger (msn) can i use a webcam on cause i do know the hardware is been installed cause it was connected to the pc while installing ubuntu but how do i use it ? [08:27] \Ahmed: almost. the "alpha" part means it is a pre-release version that you can download and install now [08:27] \Ahmed: well beta 1 is coming out tomorrow [08:28] FireCrotch: it still gives me the underscore :-( [08:28] \Ahmed: lucid lynx is the development codename. officially, its just plain "10.04" once the final release is out, though you'll see people keep referring to it as "lucid" [08:29] \Ahmed: kopete (default im client) should work with webcams for msn, i think [08:29] maco: no, even after release it is still known as lucid lynx. just as 9.10 is known as karmic koala [08:29] \Ahmed: though whether your webcam is supported could be a different question [08:29] maco: ok, I found that setting [08:29] iconmefisto: its not *supposed* to be [08:29] iconmefisto: because thats just the development codename. its just that we're all stubborn and keep calling it that ;-) [08:30] <\Ahmed> Okay Maco :) [08:30] maco: how so? it is not a dev only codename at all [08:30] maco: but I guess the password I gave is not correct [08:30] iconmefisto: some folks, like crimsun, refuse to call released versions by anything other than version number [08:30] maco: because I still get the underscore at the end of my nickname [08:31] skramer_: might need to talk to freenode staff about a password reset then [08:31] <\Ahmed> i used to use kopete but i couldnt really find much in that cause of having SO MANY OPTIONS and i am sticking to Empathy, WILL anyone tell me how to disable the SAVE CHAT on empathy ? [08:31] maco: how to contact them? [08:31] iconmefisto: i think its silly as the names are cuter, but *shrug* you'll run into such people sometimes [08:31] skramer_: #freenode [08:31] \Ahmed: empathy only does webcam for xmpp/googletalk [08:31] maco: k, thanks [08:32] \Ahmed: msg webcam support exists in the codebase, but its compiled out of ubuntu's version because it makes empathy crash [08:32] maco: if you do this command in konsole, it will show the codename of the release you are running: lsb_release -c [08:32] iconmefisto: so? [08:32] the official name is simply 9.10 or 10.04 [08:33] <\Ahmed> Oh well [08:33] i do keep calling them by the adjectives [08:33] <\Ahmed> So isnt there any messenger that the webcam works on (MSN) [08:33] maco: it's not a dev codename. it is the *official* codename of the version, dev version or released version [08:33] <\Ahmed> Apart from gmail [08:34] but like i said, i can thnk of at least one dev who is anal about that being a development codename [08:34] Do you call Windows 7 "Vienna" ? [08:35] <\Ahmed> firecrotch: NO [08:35] I call it "crap" personally, FireCrotch. [08:35] or call Windows Vista "Longhorn" [08:35] <\Ahmed> Hey well It's not crap :P i'm on windows from a very long time ! [08:35] I prefer names personally, I love to get numbers backwards. [08:36] maco: it is the dev codename, as well as the release codename [08:36] <\Ahmed> And by the way all the viruses and keyloggers works perfectly haah on windows [08:36] maco: does it get a new codename after release? no [08:36] <\Ahmed> Anyone knows what's the most secure OS in Linux ? Mandriva ubuntu fedora ? etc [08:38] iconmefisto: If you read the press release for 9.10, you'll note that nowhere in there is it called "Karmic Koala" [08:38] http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-910 [08:38] I'm pretty sure that picking a distro based on security is overkill. Between iptables, apparmor, and a good password policy, you should be pretty well set. [08:39] <\Ahmed> Anyone here is a cracker ? [08:39] FireCrotch: so you're saying 9.10 is not codenamed karmic koala? this is ridiculous! [08:39] iconmefisto: it was. but now it's 9.10. [08:39] <\Ahmed> hahaha iconmefisto ! HUH [08:39] \Ahmed: We don't discuss those kinds of activities in official Ubuntu channels. [08:40] !coc [08:40] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct . [08:40] maco: if you do lsb_release -c why does it show "karmic" [08:40] iconmefisto: because they dont bother to change it at release [08:40] iconmefisto: you can get the same sort of result in Windows 7 probably :) from some Windows command, of course [08:40] maco: what you are saying is what is called unfalsifiable [08:42] Maybe win7 is a bad example since that was also the codename at one point [08:42] kubuntu kde is to slow [08:42] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/karmic/release/ [08:42] was someone looking for the dvd link ? [08:43] maco: notice the url above? it says karmic/release [08:43] Is some one know how to setup oracle at kubuntu ? [08:43] jery: what are the specs of your computer? [08:44] iconmefisto: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/9.10/release/ notice the url? it says 9.10 [08:44] and goes to the same place :) [08:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala [08:44] Why the heck are we arguing about what the "right" name is for ubuntu releases [08:45] FireCrotch: right, there is a version number and a codename. the only codename 9.10 has is karmic, before and after release [08:45] Codenames are used for one purpose and one purpose only - because humans are better at remembering names than they are at remembering numbers [08:46] sigh [08:46] hey i got a problem: It seems I am unable to change my clock [08:47] Hey, where can I find the PPA for 4.4.1? [08:47] Biosftw: Right click the clock -> Adjust Date/Time [08:47] Biosftw: Have you tried that already? [08:48] yeah : P but after i set auto adjust or change it manually and pressing apply [08:48] the apply button switches to grayscale and nothing happend [08:48] corigo: Check the topic. [08:49] Yes, buckethead, I want to get the ppa's for my Kubuntu 9.10 so I can upgrade to KDE 4.4.1 [08:49] corigo: https://launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ [08:49] Biosftw: I see the issue. Does it say at the topic "You are not allowed to save the configuration" [08:49] topic -> top [08:50] as i see... nope [08:50] nothing happens [08:50] just the color of the apply button changes : P [08:51] I believe this is definitely a bug - when you try to change the date/time, it should prompt you for your password [08:51] kubuntu-backports is where I found mine. [08:51] Since changing the system time requires root privileges [08:52] ah ok FireCrotch do you know the command for the clock changing dialog? so i could start it via sudo === zbenjamin|away is now known as zbenjamin [08:53] thnx [08:54] Biosftw: To be honest, I'm not sure what it is. it's part of kcontrol though, so starting that with kdesudo should work [08:54] <\Ahmed> Does ubuntu have any firewall kinda ? or how do i consider it that its SAFE ? :) [08:54] ufw is a front-end to iptables. [08:54] Its pretty good, for a CLI interface. [08:54] Biosftw: alternately, you can set the date/time from the command line, with the date command [08:55] how can i eable 3D view ? [08:56] Apparently there are two good firewall front ends (hooray for google) - guarddog and firestarter [08:56] Biosftw: kdesudo kcmshell4 clock [08:59] iconmefisto: thx worked (except the automatical setup but nvm) [09:03] Biosftw: you mean set time and date automatically? you should be able to set that without kdesudo (that is, just from systemsettings, or right-click the clock in the panel) [09:04] iconmefisto: didnt work as FireCrotch there should be something like a prompt asking for root password... but nothing appears [09:07] gotta go Biosftw. back in about an hour if you want to wait [09:07] it is not that important [09:07] so bz === caldera is now known as JulienBu [09:20] Is there a trusted repo that would allow me to stay on the cutting edge of the nvidia binary for Ubuntu? [09:21] something that wouldn't hopefully conflict with my other packages. just the latest nvidia binary [09:26] vbgunz: I think that the nvidia driver is too closely linked to particular versions of other things to make that possible === david is now known as Guest94667 [09:31] areichman: I usually check nvidia.com/drivers for the latest and usually install without a problem. I am on 9.04 and am right now checking out envyng and it is showing me the latest driver to actually be an older driver. I'd just like to take that checking out the way :/ [09:35] vbgunz: I'm not sure, I just know that I've run into problems from installing the drivers, gotten incompatible versions and not been able to get X to start [09:37] areichman: yeah I ran into that in older versions of ubuntu. lately probably since 8.10 I've had nothing but luck with the nvidia binaries [09:38] I haven't upgraded from the default ones for a few versions now :-) [09:46] KDE with ubuntu is very very slow... [09:48] jery: Why do you pop in, throw something like that out, and then leave? [09:48] I think thats about the third time today i've seen this? [09:51] how do i make a key combination to open konsole? [09:51] buckethead ,cause i need logout kDE and log in with gnome === chris____ is now known as poynta [09:51] maybe i need add RAM UP TO 4G [09:53] I've tried to manage my start-up services with both "rcconf" and "bum" to make some services start (or not start) automatically. However, it simply does not work. If I disable "mysql" it shows up as disables in both rcconf and bum, but it still starts up when I boot [09:53] any idea what the problem could be? [10:02] hi [10:03] I have just installed ATI's crystal center and its saying amdxdg-su NO SUCH FILE and i can't open it shows an error and NO ati driver found (when the 3D is working) [10:30] hi [10:30] is OpenOffice3.2 stable under kubuntu? [10:37] anybody here who knows how to configure the filter rules in KMail? [10:37] which ones have to be first and which ones can be later === [Solak] is now known as Solak [11:21] got a problem with synergy - in opensuse it did work. noe I set up a server in Kubuntu 9.10 and the same windows-XP clients. in the windows clients I always get: 'failed to connect to server: The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected' [12:30]
