| Typos_King | darcy: what about wiping the whole machine and reinstalling windows? is that a possibility? does he have the installation cd? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| darcy | cd yes but no way to get at files under the admin login | 00:00 |
| Typos_King | ok | 00:00 |
| darcy | thanks anyway | 00:00 |
| Typos_King | sooo, he wans to get his files before reinstalling and losing everything, right? | 00:00 |
| darcy | have a good one | 00:00 |
| Typos_King | sooo, he wans to get his files before reinstalling and losing everything, right? | 00:00 |
| darcy | yep | 00:00 |
| Typos_King | ok | 00:00 |
| darcy | shotgun | 00:00 |
| Typos_King | do you have a burner? | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | a cdrw | 00:01 |
| darcy | he does | 00:01 |
| Lynoure | darcy: you can mount the whole xp partition with a linux boot cd... and copy it all. | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | yeah | 00:01 |
| darcy | lol, really | 00:01 |
| darcy | ? | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | you can mount his partition in ubuntu, move things around to a usb stick or so | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | from a live-cd ubuntu | 00:01 |
| darcy | sounds like alot of work not sure if he'll try it even if it was only way. lol | 00:02 |
| Typos_King | there's also a live-winxp you can use, if you prefer that, there's an .iso and all you have to do is burn it to a cd | 00:02 |
| Lynoure | yup, I think it was an troll... | 00:02 |
| darcy | if i was home i'd do it for him, but i'm on the other side of the country | 00:02 |
| Typos_King | darcy: live-winxp? yes, no? | 00:03 |
| darcy | that might work | 00:03 |
| darcy | if not i'll tell him to kill the troll with the shotgun | 00:03 |
| Typos_King | darcy: http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ <--- I use the 10.1 and works well | 00:04 |
| Typos_King | it comes with a pile of utilities too, besides the minixp live | 00:04 |
| Typos_King | and has admnistrator access | 00:04 |
| darcy | i didn't know what was out yet, how does it compare to jaunty j? | 00:04 |
| darcy | i think i have that i installed the kbuntu with it | 00:05 |
| Typos_King | then again, if he's not an administrator.... why does he need the administrator files? if he never logged as administrator, the machine will save all his files under his 'limited' user account | 00:05 |
| darcy | he 0riginally was, just when he logged into windows 2 weeks ago it kept on telling him to login as admin | 00:06 |
| robertzaccour | my screen flickers once every few minutes. is that bad? | 00:06 |
| darcy | files probably still in computer but can't access under limited account | 00:06 |
| Lynoure | robertzaccour: depends on the cause. But most likely only if it bothers you. | 00:07 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: define 'flickers' | 00:07 |
| Typos_King | lol | 00:07 |
| darcy | lol | 00:07 |
| Typos_King | mind over matter, if you don't mind it, it don't matter? hehe | 00:07 |
| Lynoure | robertzaccour: unusual, yes, a bug of some sort, probably. | 00:07 |
| darcy | lmao | 00:07 |
| darcy | that's a good one | 00:08 |
| Lynoure | For me, my Amarok crashes every ~20min, and that's bad | 00:08 |
| robertzaccour | Typos_King, the screen blinks off for a split second every few minutes just once. quick like a light turned off then immediately back on once its off | 00:08 |
| Lynoure | I'm suspecting it has something to do with dynamic playlists, but have not troubleshooted enough. Mostly because the debugging symbols seem to take ~800M to install | 00:09 |
| darcy | i'm gonna throw away all the computers i can get my hands on and become a hermit | 00:09 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: are you on mobile? as opposed to desktop? | 00:09 |
| robertzaccour | Typos_King, laptop | 00:09 |
| darcy | have a good night, thanks guys | 00:09 |
| Typos_King | darcy: just don't forget to take your zen mp3s with your mp3 player :P | 00:09 |
| darcy | i junked my zen awhile ago, how'd u know i had one? lol | 00:10 |
| darcy | it was old | 00:10 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: how old is the laptop? I mean, what cpu speed? dual core? | 00:10 |
| robertzaccour | Typos_King, dual core yes | 00:11 |
| Typos_King | darcy: well.....you'll need them :P | 00:11 |
| robertzaccour | intel mobile 4 is the video card i think | 00:11 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: does it happen WHILE you're typing? or hitting the keys on the keyboard? | 00:11 |
| sekou | hi | 00:12 |
| robertzaccour | Typos_King, no, just in an every few minutes rhythm | 00:12 |
| Typos_King | ... | 00:12 |
| Typos_King | then is probably the videocard drivers or so | 00:13 |
| Typos_King | have you checked in the Restricted Drivers section if there's one for your videocard? | 00:13 |
| sekou | I want to know how to install ubuntu sous mac | 00:13 |
| Typos_King | sekou: get the ppc .iso of ubuntu | 00:13 |
| Lynoure | robertzaccour: do you dualboot? | 00:14 |
| Typos_King | as far as installing, it has a gui wizard that'll guide you | 00:14 |
| robertzaccour | Typos_King, i'm using lucid beta. you recken thats why? and if its beta, shouldn't it be nearly bug free? | 00:14 |
| robertzaccour | Lynoure, no | 00:14 |
| Lynoure | robertzaccour: if, check that it does not happen in the other os as well... you can also try with livecd (some other version) to try to rule out hardware problem | 00:15 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: beta1 IIRC, not beta2 or beta3.... soooo, beta1 is just after the alpha3 IIRC... and the final release date is on April 29th... soooo, you might be 40days too early, is not bug free, nearly bug free? can't say | 00:15 |
| Lynoure | Sometimes people spend ages hunting for a bug when it's actually rotten hardware (though this could be either) | 00:16 |
| arch0njw | Typos_King: it's "mostly" bug free :D | 00:16 |
| Typos_King | heh | 00:16 |
| Typos_King | is not a 'bug', is a random 'feature' | 00:16 |
| arch0njw | surprise feature ;) | 00:17 |
| Lynoure | usually releases are 'nearly bug free' =) | 00:19 |
| Lynoure | betas usually have still kinks. | 00:20 |
| robertzaccour | could it be KDE having the bug? maybe trying Gnome would fix it | 00:20 |
| arch0njw | robertzaccour: good reason to try a live cd of each to establish that | 00:21 |
| Typos_King | robertzaccour: any linux-backports-modules available from the repos? | 00:22 |
| arch0njw | robertzaccour: however, i would sort of doubt that. I had a screen flicker problem with a monitor+gpu that didn't get along together. | 00:22 |

| cers | Typos_King: I think it was you who recommended I upgrade to kubuntu 9.10 the other day, so I'm totally blaiming you :-P | 00:52 |
| Typos_King | heeh | 00:53 |
| Typos_King | was it I? why? | 00:53 |
| Typos_King | dunno..... what's the matter? | 00:53 |
| cers | Typos_King: I couldn't install qt-designer | 00:53 |
| Typos_King | IIRC... right it was a kde4 issue | 00:53 |
| cers | Typos_King: so now I got home from my vacation, upgraded to 9.10 and my soundcard is missing and the graphics were broken | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | checked the Restricted Drivers section yet? | 00:54 |
| cers | the latter I fixed because I found someone with the same problem, who suggested setting accelmethod to exa | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | there may be one for your videocard from the manufacturer | 00:54 |
| cers | Typos_King: I forgot where to do that :-S | 00:58 |
| Typos_King | System Settings > Advanced > Restricted Drivers | 00:58 |
| cers | Typos_King: I don't see that option | 01:00 |
| Typos_King | there's a Restricted section in the System Settings... it has.... I think it may even have an icon on the tray too | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | the icon in system settings looks like a circuitry chip | 01:01 |
| cers | Typos_King: nope - not there - however from the k-menu I can get access to Applications->System->Hardware drivers | 01:03 |
| === aperson is now known as Porodax | ||
| Typos_King | it may be under hardware drivers | 01:04 |
| cers | Typos_King: it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on your system" | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | right | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | that doesn't mean it has no restricted ones available | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | what about the tray? | 01:04 |
| === Porodax is now known as aperson | ||
| Typos_King | I know there's an icon on the tray that usually would say 'there are restricted drivers available...' | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | I think it shows like a blue dot | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | or blue ball | 01:05 |
| cers | Typos_King: nope - nothing | 01:05 |
| iconmefisto | there is a text version: jockey-text. see jockey-text --help for options | 01:06 |
| Typos_King | ... | 01:06 |
| cers | apparently, there are no supported drivers. `jockey-text -l` exits without output | 01:08 |
| cers | but for now, setting accelmethod to exa did the trick | 01:09 |
| cers | kde still claims I have no sound card though | 01:10 |
| Typos_King | cers: try .... installing the backports drivers -> sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules; | 01:10 |
| * Typos_King dashes | 01:10 | |

| solifugus | How can I make wireless work in kubuntu? With ubuntu, I just enter in my key and it works.. | 02:39 |
| solifugus | I tried every combination of options I could reasonably try with kde and nothign works. | 02:39 |
| solifugus | tried also on different computers at different places.. | 02:40 |
| solifugus | (did not try open access wireless because there isn't any that I know of around me) | 02:41 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: ubuntu works on the same hardware? | 02:43 |
| solifugus | yes.. sure.. of course.. | 02:44 |
| solifugus | This isn't a driver issue... Google tells me I am not alone in the horrendous pain of getting wireless to work in kde | 02:44 |
| solifugus | just not seeing any solutions | 02:44 |
| solifugus | for so long, I've just been assuming kde developers would fix these kind of things...eventually some day | 02:45 |
| solifugus | or.. someone would figure it out and document it | 02:45 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: one problem I did have was kubuntu remembering my passphrase, but I changed settings so it is stored unencrypted | 02:46 |
| solifugus | This says that kNetworkManager is pre-alpha... http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=83156 | 02:47 |
| solifugus | even though it ships with kde 4.4 | 02:48 |
| === ruben is now known as Guest35438 | ||
| iconmefisto | solifugus: did you try nm-applet as suggested in that link? | 02:54 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, I plan on trying that. First, I have to see if it's installed or on the install CD as I otherwise don't have network access on that machine. | 02:59 |
| solifugus | I am re-installing kubuntu on it now.. | 02:59 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: 9.10 ? | 03:07 |
| jovis | softlinugs? | 03:16 |
| iconmefisto | !tab | jovis | 03:17 |
| ubottu | jovis: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:17 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, it's the current kubuntu downloaded just last week.. i presume that's 9.10 | 03:23 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, neither "nm-applet" nor "wicd" executables appear to exist after installing kubuntu.. | 03:28 |
| solifugus | as per the "which" command as a regular user or as root. | 03:28 |
| solifugus | so.. i suppose I'll have to find out what packages contain them, plug it into a wired network router and ship them over via scp.. | 03:30 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: I think it's part of network-manager-gnome | 03:30 |
| solifugus | anyone know how to get a .deb package and not install it.. just get it so I can ship it to another machine? | 03:40 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 03:41 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: or you could use apt-get with the -d option (download only) | 03:44 |
| solifugus | ok.. the -d option might work.. I couldn't find wicd or nm-applet on those pages.. | 03:45 |
| solifugus | now the question is... where did apt-get put the wicd package? | 03:47 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: /var/cache/apt/archives | 03:50 |
| solifugus | Yes.. it's there.. hopefully no additional dependencies.. | 03:51 |
| solifugus | i will transfer via usb hard disk | 03:52 |
| njathan | i have downloaded the toaster edition of WorldVistA-EHR, which is in .qcow2 format. Any ideas how i can use it? | 03:55 |
| solifugus | appears to depend on python-gtk2... i can see a long night ahead of me.. | 03:57 |
| solifugus | back and for with this usb drive.. | 03:57 |
| solifugus | Somehow I bet kde user numbers are still far lower than pre-kde 4.0 levels... | 04:00 |
| solifugus | sadly | 04:00 |
| solifugus | and.. uh.. very painfully | 04:01 |
| solifugus | More dependencies needed.. This is too much.. I give up. | 04:07 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: no ethernet? | 04:07 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, thanks for trying to help.. it's just too much wasted time... I will have to remain stuck with sucky gnome.. | 04:07 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, even if i plug in ethernet, I need to install openssh.. | 04:08 |
| solifugus | can't install anything | 04:08 |
| solifugus | without massive dependency hell | 04:08 |
| iconmefisto | solifugus: if you can install gnome and wireless works, you could then install kubuntu-desktop to get kde too | 04:09 |
| solifugus | i might see about a debian distro with the last kde 3 version.. that's a lot better than gnome | 04:09 |
| solifugus | iconmefisto, true....... | 04:09 |
| solifugus | i am downloading ubuntu 9.10... it'll take a while.. | 04:12 |

| REMIX | hello hello guys | 06:48 |
| REMIX | so yes im a linux noob, been using it since december. ive been told i can get help here in irc. i put kubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my dell 1318, and i have no idea how to get it to use the wifi card. i open the network options at the top but the wireless tab is "greyed out". looks like i can only use a cable on it. what should i do? | 06:55 |
| areichman | REMIX: what kind of wireless card do you have? | 07:09 |
| REMIX | areichman: one of these, Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini-Card, Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Mini-Card, Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-Card | 07:13 |
| REMIX | areichman: i read this command might work: sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source. but i have no clue what it would do, think it would do the trick? | 07:14 |
| areichman | REMIX: I would hold off on that command. I have a similar card and have never had to use it | 07:20 |
| areichman | what does lspci say about your wireless card? | 07:20 |
| pushax | How can I get KDE 4.4.2 | 07:26 |
| areichman | pushax: KDE SC 4.3 is standard in kubuntu 9.10, with 4.4 available through a repository | 07:27 |
| areichman | oh, sorry, I misread | 07:27 |
| areichman | 4.4.2, not 4.2 | 07:27 |
| pushax | areichman: np | 07:27 |
| areichman | compile from source? | 07:28 |
| areichman | that's how I do it so I don't know what the easier ways are | 07:28 |
| pushax | areichman: I need 4.4.2 to get kfind working. corrrently it doens't do content searches properly. it's broken | 07:28 |
| pushax | is there a repository? or would I have to downlaod the trunk and compile it? | 07:28 |
| pushax | does anyoen know of a schedule to when 4.4.2 will be released? | 07:29 |
| areichman | it hasn't been yet? | 07:29 |
| areichman | oh, planned for march 30th | 07:30 |
| areichman | tagged on thursday | 07:30 |
| areichman | should be available in a repository not long after it's released | 07:30 |
| areichman | if you want to get KDE versions that haven't been released yet you'll probably have to compile them yourself | 07:31 |
| REMIX | areichman: here is my lspci, i dont understand it but maybe you can make sence of it http://pastie.org/884282 | 07:31 |
| areichman | there are some decent tools to help you do it, though | 07:31 |
| areichman | REMIX: thsat was what I needed, yes :-) | 07:33 |
| areichman | you have the BCM4312 card, made by broadcom | 07:33 |
| areichman | have you tried running the restricted driver manager? | 07:33 |
| REMIX | no, i dont know what that is | 07:34 |
| areichman | OK | 07:34 |
| REMIX | lol i know its bad. soo where do i find this driver manager? | 07:34 |
| areichman | it's in the application launcher somewhere | 07:35 |
| areichman | or, type alt+f2 and search for jockey | 07:35 |
| areichman | that should bring it up | 07:35 |
| areichman | alternatively /usr/bin/jockey-kde is where it's actually located on the system (on my machine, anyway) | 07:35 |
| areichman | use one of those 3 methods to launch it | 07:36 |
| areichman | and it should give you the option to install the driver automatically | 07:36 |
| pushax | areichman: thx | 07:36 |
| areichman | no problem. The most you should have to do is a restart although I'm not sure if even that will be necessary | 07:36 |
| areichman | I have the older version of that same card and the process has gotten so much easier lately | 07:37 |

| cyberkilla | Just converted to KDE 4.4, from GNOME 2.28. Wow. I had no idea KDE was so good now. With Canonical making so many proprietary-esque changes to GNOME, and GNOME's inherent failings (Metacity is declared abandoned, yet its successor, Mutter, only supports 3D compositing with no fallback), I decided a change was long over-due:-) | 10:59 |
| cyberkilla | My only real confusion with KDE is the KWallet situation. It asks me for a password when I log in, because I have a twitter plasma app. I probably should have left the wallet password blank instead of filling it in.. | 11:01 |

| rork | ubuntu: I have no suggestions for the firewall, you can update firefox trough apt/kpackagemanager/synaptic (which are updates by the security team) or probably download it from the firefox website and manually install. | 12:01 |

| lalalol | hey guys, i have OO writer and spreadsheet and presentation and drawing, but i cant find the database program, id like to have the full OO pack, but if id install it, id probably end up getting 2 writers and 2 spreadsheets and so on, or not? | 12:36 |
| TheKro | hi. I need to upgrade my ktimetracker to version 4.5 because of a bug with my current version. How do I do this? | 12:41 |
| cyberkilla | lalalol: It's called -base, I think. Look for the package with openoffice something something -base | 12:48 |
| lalalol | cyberkilla, and if i do sudo apt-get install openoffice? will it give me a 2nd writer and so on or just install the missing programs? | 12:53 |
| cyberkilla | lalalol: No, I doubt it. Not unless you installed OO from somewhere other than the repositories originally. | 13:00 |
| cyberkilla | lalalol: If I understand you correctly, that package will just pull in the other parts of OO. | 13:00 |
| lalalol | >.< so what should i do then? sorry but i dont understand | 13:00 |
| lalalol | alright, ill do the command then | 13:00 |
| Pici | Install the openoffice.org-base package. | 13:01 |
| lalalol | but there are prob more things that im missing than the base package | 13:03 |

| gkffjcs | there's no x, or anything. | 17:44 |
| arch0njw | gkffjcs: ratzzz... there used to be a way to do that is a previous iteration of kde4 :( Um... thinking. | 17:44 |
| gkffjcs | I'm on 10.04 beta btw, so I'm using kde 4.4 not 4.3 | 17:45 |
| gkffjcs | I'll ask the guys over at #kde, since they might be more used to dealing with 4.4 | 17:46 |
| kpenrose | What is the semantic desktop and how does it work? | 17:46 |
| arch0njw | gkffjcs: ok. I found the entry in... ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc -- serach for bball and you'll find it. You could swtich "AutoBounceenabled" to "false" and turn up the gravity to slow it down. Not sure if removing the entry there would remove it from the desktop.' | 17:49 |
| gkffjcs | thanks arch0njw that worked, and I was able to remove it. | 17:54 |

| BluesKaj | Ahmed\, you wanted to know how to install the latest version of ubuntu or kubuntu, which is it ? | 18:31 |
| Ahmed\ | Oh | 18:31 |
| Ahmed\ | Yes Kubuntu but by Konsol | 18:31 |
| Ahmed\ | Any command ? that will help me upgrading from 4.3 to the latest one | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | Ahmed\, so you want the latest KDE version ? | 18:32 |
| racerd | you need to lay off the booze | 18:32 |
| Ahmed\ | Yes KDE 4.4 and currently i am on KDE 4.3 | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | Ahmed\, here, http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.4 | 18:33 |
| Ahmed\ | Yes so do i have to download all those packages ?or hwo | 18:33 |
| Ahmed\ | cause i have had tried once but no luck | 18:33 |
| Ahmed\ | not easy as switching from Gnome to KDE | 18:33 |
| racerd | i already installed the desktop | 18:34 |
| racerd | just wnat to be able to swap between them | 18:34 |
| racerd | and i can't use the login screen | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | Ahmed\,the best way is to add the repository listed on that website to your sources.list and the sudo apt-get update | 18:34 |
| Ahmed\ | I did that sudo -apt-get update but what exaclty is this for ? updating the system or what because i have had completed these updates | 18:35 |
| arch0njw | Ahmed\: then you need to run "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 18:35 |
| Ahmed\ | Oh thank you thats what i am looking for | 18:36 |
| Ahmed\ | :) | 18:36 |
| arch0njw | Ahmed\: 'update' updates the info from the repositories (listed in the sources.list) and 'upgrade' gets and installs any updated packages. | 18:36 |
| Ahmed\ | Can you write the full command ? because this seems incomplee | 18:36 |
| Ahmed\ | complete | 18:36 |
| Ahmed\ | Oh yeah i see... | 18:36 |
| arch0njw | That's the complete command. | 18:37 |
| Ahmed\ | sudo apt-get upgrade ? that's all ? sure i mean for upgrading the KDE | 18:37 |
| jovis | does anyojne build mips or arm linux kernels | 18:37 |
| Ahmed\ | E: Invalid operation kubuntu-desktop | 18:37 |
| Ahmed\ | I gets this | 18:37 |
| Ahmed\ | Read this | 18:38 |
| Ahmed\ | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 18:38 |
| Ahmed\ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | odd , I didn't use upgrade and I was able to install 4.4 | 18:38 |
| Ahmed\ | HUH | 18:38 |
| shadeslayer | Ahmed\: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 18:38 |
| shadeslayer | and answer yes | 18:38 |
| jovis | sudo sucks just su tyo root | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | all you need is the repos and it will upgrade automatically | 18:39 |
| jovis | i hate not being root | 18:39 |
| Ahmed\ | Shadeslayer: what is that command for ? and when should i put that to lock the drive ? | 18:39 |
| arch0njw | jovis: su is not the recommended approach on Ubuntu. The typical Ubuntu/Kubuntu install does not have a root password set, and that is deliberate. | 18:39 |
| jovis | i know arch0nwj | 18:40 |
| jovis | and it pisses me off, i always su to root | 18:40 |

| shadeslayer | Ahmed\: what are you trying to accomplish? ( havent read the backlog ) | 18:41 |
| shadeslayer | Ahmed\: in one line please :) | 18:41 |
| Ahmed\ | I did read | 18:41 |
| Ahmed\ | Oh sorry :) | 18:41 |
| Ahmed\ | BRB | 18:41 |
| arch0njw | jovis: I have had rare occassions where I have set a root password, but that is not a practice that should be advocated for Ubuntu. It grants more destructive power in the system than what most people realize. it is far safer to use sudo. | 18:42 |
| jovis | ok, a windows guy who happens to use linux may have a problem | 18:43 |
| jovis | if you know linux whats the problem | 18:43 |
| jovis | i always log in as root or su root as soojn as i get in | 18:44 |
| arch0njw | jovis: For the purposes of this IRC and this distro, I believe the best practice is to use sudo, and not to advocate the use of 'su'. | 18:44 |
| jovis | sudo irritates me | 18:44 |
| jovis | ok you have your opinion i have my preference | 18:45 |
| jovis | how is sudo any different that logging as root | 18:45 |
| racerd | jovis | 18:45 |
| jovis | sudo chmod -R 777 /* | 18:45 |
| racerd | sssshhhhh | 18:46 |
| jovis | same shit | 18:46 |
| racerd | if it irritates you why are you running kubuntu? | 18:46 |
| racerd | why not run slackware? | 18:46 |
| racerd | must be googling slackware | 18:47 |
| jovis | im running suse one one partition and unbuntu on the other | 18:47 |
| shadeslayer | !su | jovis | 18:47 |
| ubottu | jovis: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 18:47 |
| racerd | !sudo | jovis | 18:48 |
| racerd | am i doing something wrong? | 18:48 |
| jovis | nah i always run as root | 18:48 |
| shadeslayer | racerd: the factoid was used too recently by me :) | 18:48 |
| racerd | aaahhh | 18:49 |
| jovis | whats wrong with running root | 18:50 |
| racerd | nothing | 18:50 |
| racerd | it's a good idea | 18:50 |
| jovis | you have complete control | 18:50 |
| racerd | just be sure to post your ip | 18:50 |
| racerd | that is a good idea too | 18:50 |
| jovis | if i post my ip you think you can get into my box? | 18:50 |
| racerd | sigh | 18:51 |
| racerd | it was a general statement | 18:51 |
| racerd | not a threat | 18:51 |
| arch0njw | !troll | 18:51 |
| ubottu | trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 18:51 |
| racerd | or saying i can do one thing or another | 18:51 |
| racerd | anycase, anyone know how to switch kde and gnome | 18:52 |
| racerd | not using the login screen? | 18:52 |
| Ahmed\ | YES By removing KDE completely and install it again and CHOOSE KDS for the default desktop WHILE installing | 18:52 |
| Ahmed\ | HUH | 18:52 |
| racerd | lol | 18:52 |
| racerd | there is a problem with that | 18:52 |
| Ahmed\ | What now | 18:53 |
| racerd | bluetooth | 18:53 |
| racerd | if i can't configure it i want to be able to go back to gnome | 18:53 |
| Ahmed\ | oh come on man | 18:53 |
| Ahmed\ | i have one and works fine on Gnome and KDE huh | 18:53 |
| racerd | mouse and keyboard both? | 18:54 |
| racerd | i have an apple bluetooth keyboard | 18:55 |
| Ahmed\ | Well, I have no idea about bluetooth keyboard and mouse but i think it does | 18:55 |
| Ahmed\ | OH GREAT why dont you try it on Leopard ! | 18:55 |
| racerd | pfff | 18:56 |
| racerd | it works great | 18:56 |
| racerd | linux uses the hot keys correctly and everything | 18:56 |
| racerd | even works in win7 | 18:56 |
| Ahmed\ | Well i have been on Vista x64 from a very long time and yeah i know what's so new in Windows 7 | 18:57 |
| Ahmed\ | Yes it has about every driver you need | 18:57 |
| racerd | what does | 18:57 |
| Ahmed\ | Windows7 | 18:57 |
| racerd | yeah | 18:57 |

| shadeslayer | andreas: kpackagekit | 19:06 |
| naftilos76 | Hi, is there a setting that automatically lets the system keep only one or two or three or more kernels instead of keeping them all while upgrading to newer kernels? | 19:09 |
| andreas | how can i install google chrome | 19:10 |
| wizkoder | sudo makes sure that I don't continue to execute su commands. And this becomes painful sometimes when files cannot be deleted by the user later. So I think its good as it is. | 19:14 |

| arch0njw | lalalol: that sounds like a KDE problem to me. Sorry to pass the buck, but that would be the root of the issue. "Upstream" as the kids say... even the old geezers say that too. | 20:13 |
| lalalol | arch0njw, i dont understand what youre saying lol | 20:16 |

| ilter | Hello i've a question about printer's options on pdf viewer; okular. I've hp d1500 series printer and i want to print only even pages of a pdf file. Could anybody explain how can i do it? Unfortunately when i click print, there is only 2 option on printer options range tab. One of them is "print all" and the other is "pages from x to y". Is there any extra programs for doing it? | 20:23 |
| arch0njw | ilter: I use epdfviewer which allows printing odd and even pages only | 20:24 |
| arch0njw | ilter: sudo apt-get install epdfview | 20:25 |
| ilter | arch0njw: Thank you, i'm going to install it. | 20:25 |
| zus | can quassel tab the name of the chat channels on the left? like in x chat? | 20:28 |
| ilter | arch0njw: Thank you so much for your help. I've just installed it and now i can print only odd and even pages of a pdf file. | 20:29 |
| arch0njw | ilter: no prob. I love that little program. It does a better job of scaling oddly sized pages (like credit card statements) to fit a normal sheet of paper. | 20:29 |
| ilter | arch0njw: Ok i'll try it also for scaling. Thanks again. | 20:31 |

| ubottu | a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org. | 20:47 |
| lalalol | hmmmm, 47.8MB disk space will be used to install, so itll install another writer and another spreadsheet and so on im guessing :/ | 20:48 |
| lalalol | hello?... | 20:52 |
| arch0njw | lalalol: hi... I'm not sure I get your point. | 20:53 |
| lalalol | well, i already have writer and spreadsheet and drawing and presentation installed | 20:55 |
| lalalol | but im missing some other progs | 20:55 |
| lalalol | and will the new progs use KDE too? | 20:56 |
| arch0njw | lalalol: If you already have OO.org installed, from the repositories, and choose to use the stated unofficial repository, that will update/overwrite your present installation. It will not install duplicate applications. | 20:56 |
| arch0njw | lalalol: Not sure what you mean. Do you mean will they look like KDE apps instead of GTK-running-in-KDE apps? | 20:56 |
| lalalol | yes arch0njw, u totally understand me :) | 20:57 |
| arch0njw | lalalol: iirc, they are better integrated. But the fact is that they are GTK-based, so there is always going to be some oddity in 'reskinning' them to look normal in KDE. | 20:57 |
