[00:39] <rmrfslash> How do I install the sun JVM in Kubuntu Lucid?
[00:39] <rmrfslash> I only see gcj and open-jdk
[00:39] <rmrfslash> jamvm and caco
[00:40] <rmrfslash> cacao
[00:40] <rmrfslash> is it openjdk?
[00:45] <avihay> rmrfslash: I'm guessing you specifically want sun's jdk
[00:46] <avihay> if so, you can install sun-java6-jdk
[00:46] <avihay> otherwise, you can install deafult-jdk, and it will probably install open-jdk for you and not sun's version
[00:49] <daskreech> ORacle now!

[02:47] <thieflock> Who watches "To Catch a Predator"?
[02:49] <thieflock> I think we should reanact some scenes...
[02:49] <thieflock> Hello!
[03:02] <DarkriftX> is there any archive manager different than ark? it sucks pretty bad lately
[03:13] <chengchen> hell
[03:15] <daskreech> Hmm?
[03:16] <daskreech> DarkriftX: What sucks?
[03:16] <DarkriftX> it just doesnt work like it used to
[03:16] <daskreech> Which is?
[03:16] <DarkriftX> i cant browse for a extract location, clicking on a file doesnt let me select, it opens the file
[03:17] <DarkriftX> when i select multiple files i sometimes have to drag one or it will unselect the rest and open that one
[03:20] <Tarantel> hi there
[03:21] <Tarantel> may i ask some of you for help?
[03:21] <DarkriftX> !ask
[03:21] <Tarantel> okay
[03:24] <Tarantel> i've got an kingston 4 gb usbstick and there was a beta of kubuntu on it, but i somehow made it to "destroy" the whoole OS. now i've downloaded the ISO of Kubuntu again and i wantet to install, but there  is a partition which i can't get formatted under windows. I'm sorry for my bad english :D
[03:24] <DarkriftX> ahhhh, xarchiver works great!!! none of the problems I have with ark are present (even though it does look kinda 1990's)
[03:25] <DarkriftX> why do you need to format a partition in windows?
[03:25] <lespea> Tarantel: I'm confused... you're trying to install kubuntu but then you say you're trying to format a partition in windows?
[03:26] <DarkriftX> use a linux live cd to do it
[03:26] <Tarantel> i watn to have the kubuntu OS on the usb stick so that i can boot from the usb stick on any computer
[03:26] <Tarantel> *want
[03:27] <lespea> but why are you trying to format the partition in windows...
[03:27] <Tarantel> well where else should i try it?
[03:27] <DarkriftX> windows doesnt like linux partitions
[03:28] <Tarantel> thats my problem
[03:28] <DarkriftX> you either need a special windows app (partition manager, expensive) or linux
[03:28] <Tarantel> k
[03:28] <Tarantel> so i should make a live cd?
[03:28] <DarkriftX> i wuold
[03:28] <Tarantel> okay
[03:28] <DarkriftX> always good to keep one around
[03:28] <Tarantel> thanks for help ;)
[03:28] <Tarantel> umm
[03:29] <Tarantel> i've got a GRML cd here
[03:29] <Tarantel> is it possible to do it with GRML?
[03:30] <lespea> just fdisk the drive and remove the partitions
[03:30] <lespea> usb = /dev/sda  ->  sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[03:30] <Tarantel> okay
[03:30] <Tarantel> thx ;)
[03:30] <Tarantel> i willl try it right niw :D
[03:30] <lespea> you could make a new partition there too and then create a filesystem on it with mkfs
[03:31] <lespea> np
[03:31] <Tarantel> cya later
[03:31] <lespea> later
[03:38] <ForgeAus> uh anyone here know anything about wubi?
[03:40] <mimail> it is easy
[03:54] <Tarantel> DarkriftX lespea
[03:55] <Tarantel> whank you guys sooo much X)
[03:55] <Tarantel> *thank
[03:55] <Tarantel> i've made it
[03:55] <Tarantel> it is formatted right now :D
[03:55] <lespea> glad to hear that :)
[03:56] <Tarantel> now i will install kubuntu and explore linux \O/
[03:58] <lespea> I haven't tried kde since 4.2 and it's come a looooong way
[03:58] <lespea> I'm very impressed
[04:00] <ForgeAus> I need a new PC, I'm still stuck with 4.2.x somewhere along the line
[04:00] <ForgeAus> and I don't particularly want to start with a fresh distro
[04:00] <ForgeAus> (erm install I meant)
[04:03] <daskreech> Tarantel: Welcome :)
[04:03] <daskreech> lespea: Drat should have waited 4 months for KDE 4.5
[04:03] <daskreech> Some snazzy stuff coming
[04:03] <daskreech> But wait till 4.6!
[04:04] <lespea> daskreech: lol there's always something coming down the pipe :p
[04:04] <daskreech> lespea: I know i bloody hate KDE developers for that
[04:04] <daskreech> KDE 4.5 will be out in two weeks and they will start showing screenshots of what they have working so far for KDE 4.6 that missed the freeze for KDE 4.5
[04:04] <ForgeAus> hehe daskreech whats coming?
[04:05] <daskreech> I don't even have 4.5 yet and I can't wait for 4.6 STOP IT Just please stop being so awesome and consistent in coding a great vision
[04:05]  * daskreech cries in the corner
[04:05] <ForgeAus> I should download me some .iso's!
[04:05] <daskreech> ForgeAus: Seen the new stuff for the System tray and the bluring algorithim they have ?
[04:06] <ForgeAus> I don't like blurring I prefer my transparency clear...
[04:06] <ForgeAus> they trying to emulate windows or something?
[04:06] <daskreech> no it looks a bit better and where they are using it makes more sense
[04:06] <ForgeAus> as for the system tray no I don't know alot about KDE4 since 4.2.x
[04:07] <daskreech>  Course you can just make a theme that rips off Windows 7 or 8 or Mobile somethingsomethign if you like
[04:07] <ForgeAus> daskreech you mean not juts window decorators?
[04:07] <daskreech> There are a lot less Window Decos and Themes than there used to be back in the day
[04:07] <daskreech> ForgeAus: Nope like a library you can use it in apps or dialogs or animations
[04:08] <Tarantel> omfg
[04:08] <ForgeAus> (I think I should suggest a filter decorator for KDE :) .. ones that are, animated, and/or mod according to what they're ontop of... like colour-cycle
[04:08] <Tarantel> linux is so fantastic
[04:08] <ForgeAus> that could be cute :)
[04:10] <daskreech> It could be
[04:10] <daskreech> Tarantel: It gets tiring after a while
[04:10] <ForgeAus> as in go a few steps further than transparency and make it magnify or work with what's behind the window...
[04:10] <daskreech> like 9 years of constant fantasmically awesomnisity does start to burn away your nerve endings
[04:11] <davhere> if i try to reload ubuntu..will it updat ok?
[04:11] <daskreech> ForgeAus: you can do that but why would you it's distracting
[04:11] <daskreech> davhere: I have no clue. What do you mean by reload. Reboot?
[04:11] <lespea> daskreech: do you have a link to a youtube video or something?
[04:11] <ForgeAus> hey daskreech you know much about Wubi?
[04:11] <davhere> put in fresh coppy
[04:11] <ForgeAus> (as in the windows ubuntu installer)
[04:12] <daskreech> lespea: on?
[04:12] <daskreech> ForgeAus: Much no. I can spell it for you
[04:12] <lespea> the stuff you're so excited for in 4.5
[04:12] <davhere> i have the ubuntu 7.10 cd
[04:12] <daskreech> davhere: ah like reinstall?
[04:12] <davhere> ya
[04:12] <daskreech> davhere: Right and you want to do what?
[04:12] <ForgeAus> lol I was just wonderingi f it installs a partition or runs from a hardfile thats all
[04:13] <ForgeAus> (hardfile as in essentally virtual harddisk like Qemu, vmware, etc use)
[04:13] <davhere> i got some erors so tha=ought redoing it might help
[04:13] <davhere> errors so thought*
[04:15] <davhere> mean put cd in and start new agian
[04:22] <Tarantel> omg
[04:23] <Tarantel> i never thoght i could handle with it
[04:23] <Tarantel> but i think i will be able to install kubuntu to the usbstick with help if virtualbox O/
[04:27] <daskreech> :-)
[04:34] <Tarantel> daskreech do you speak  german?
[04:41] <daskreech> Tarantel: Not as well as I used to
[04:41] <daskreech> !de
[04:59] <Tarantel> okay

[05:37] <daskreech> nix_star: what's the problem?
[05:37] <nix_star> upon boot of the system (after the logo loading "kubuntu") i get these error messages: "ERROR: ddf1: Cannot find physical drive description on /dev/sdg!
[05:38] <nix_star> and then "ERROR: ddf1: setting up RAID device /dev/sdg"
[05:38] <daskreech> sdg ?
[05:38] <Tarantel> i'm giving up
[05:39] <Tarantel> gotta go to bed now

[05:50] <shashi> I amgetting this on lucid RC, "Modprobe for Tun driver failed", donno how to fix
[05:50] <shashi> can somebody help?
[05:56] <daskreech> nix_star: So it can't see one of them I'mguessing this is all Software RAID?
[05:56] <daskreech> shashi: ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:56] <nix_star> yes its software raid
[05:56] <shashi> ok thank you
[05:58] <nix_star> when i use mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0 - it reports all drives are "active sync" and working
[05:58] <nix_star> and the state is "clean"
[06:18] <daskreech> nix_star: but no /dev/sdg exists?
[06:19] <nix_star> yes /dev/sdg is the last hard drive in my array, it exists
[06:27] <daskreech> nix_star: Is it a parity drive?
[06:28] <nix_star> its the last drive in my raid 5 array .... will it say if it is parrity in the mdadm --query --detail  ?
[06:56] <daskreech> nix_star: Not sure I'm not familiar with madam

[07:39] <Mr_Sonoma> ?
[07:44] <iconmefisto> Mr_Sonoma: can you mount them or do a fsck with livecd?
[07:44] <Mr_Sonoma> might have to dig out the live cd
[07:44] <Mr_Sonoma> it says they fail to mount
[07:45] <Mr_Sonoma> was working filesystems at last shut down
[07:45] <iconmefisto> this is karmic 9.10?
[07:45] <Mr_Sonoma> computer will boot into windows (thats how i'm here)
[07:45] <Mr_Sonoma> yea karmic
[07:47] <Mr_Sonoma> i get a shell, but can't runs fscheck, says i need to install with apt-get but then cant use apt because it seems the file system is read only or something
[07:47] <Mr_Sonoma> i cant remember exactly there

[12:16] <lelamal> hi all, I've recently upgraded to lucid, and can't see the pager reproducing the open windows inside its small screens (sorry if it's unclear)
[12:17] <lelamal> and can't find any setting to reproduce the expected behaviour. What should I do?
[12:24] <moetunes> lelamal: someone in #ubuntu+1 might knw
[12:24] <lelamal> ok thanks, I'm gonna try
[12:45] <xiaolongwang209> 12
[12:47] <xiaolongwang209> 我进来了没有？奇怪
[12:47] <lubse> hello, how do I install a Dutch spelling checker for open office?
[12:49] <moetunes> xiaolongwang209: try in #ubuntu-cn mate
[12:51] <xiaolongwang209> ok
[12:52] <James147> lubse: you can try installing openoffice.org-l10n-nl
[12:54] <lubse> James147: is this the Dutch version of open office?
[12:54] <lubse> because I would like the english version, just a Dutch spelling checker
[12:55] <James147> lubse: its teh "Dutch language package" <- what ever that does :)
[12:57] <James147> lubse: you should be albe to try it and see... uninstalling should revert you back to the default
[13:07] <tew88> Is it possible to apply different properties to various multiple desktops in Kubuntu? In particular, I'd like to have distinct wallpapers between my "work" and "play" desktops.
[13:11] <James147> tew88: yes, you need to enable different activities for each desktop
[13:13] <James147> tew88: on kde 4.4.x its located at System settings > Desktop > Multiple Desktops > Check "Different activity for each desktop"   dont know where it is on 4.3.x as i think it moved
[13:20] <rork> lubse: for dutch spellingchecker install myspell-nl
[13:21] <tew88> ty James147 =)
[13:22] <pawel__> hi
[13:23] <pawel__> I am using Kubuntu Lucid and I think there's serious memory leak in xorg
[13:23] <pawel__> it's raising quickly to over 100MB
[13:23] <pawel__> I used Arch Linux before and it stayed about 30-40MB
[13:24] <pawel__> I'm using Radeon OS driver
[13:24] <rork> pawel__: lucid is supported in #ubuntu+1
[13:24] <pawel__> ok, thank you
[13:24] <James147> pawel__: its unlikly to eb xorg,  xorg takes some of the processing done by other programs so if another one misbehaves it sometimes looks like xorg is
[13:25] <James147> pawel__: try closing some of your other programs currently running that might be taking up lots of memory and see what happens
[13:25] <pawel__> James147: ok, I'll try
[13:28] <pawel__> James147: I don't have anything special running and Xorg is using 75MB right now; without Konversation it can raise to 100MB very easily too
[13:28] <pawel__> James147: I'll check if the problem remains without compositions
[13:30] <tew88> James147: It seems "Activities" are distinct from multiple desktops -- not sure I'm in the mood to configure a new workspace from scratch again!
[13:30] <James147> tew88: they are, its the only way to get a differnt wallpaper though
[13:31] <tew88> James147: Yeah, so it seems. Thanks for the pointer - I'll go for a fresh setup when I install 10.04 =)
[13:38] <pawel__> James147: xorg memory usage is much higher with compositions enabled, raises quicly to 75 and with some programs like Firefox it raises above 100MB after some time
[13:38] <pawel__> quickly*
[13:39] <James147> pawel__: yeah, firefox has always been abit memory hungery :)
[13:39] <pawel__> maybe this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/98783
[13:39] <pawel__> yes, however under Arch (so probably different X server version) it wasn't that bad ;)
[13:41] <James147> pawel__: possibally, also different versions of the applications you where running could affect it
[13:41] <pawel__> James147L that's right, I'll ask at ubuntu+1 too, to be sure if there's no some mem leak
[13:57] <rmrfslash> How can I find what display driver I'm using?
[13:58] <moetunes> read Xorg.0.log
[14:01] <rmrfslash> lspci -k
[14:05] <rmrfslash> i  feel like there's something in my laptop heating up incessantly
[14:05] <rmrfslash> since I installed 10.04
[14:05] <rmrfslash> fan never shuts off
[14:09] <txwikinger> rmrfslash: how long ago did you upgrade?
[14:09] <rmrfslash> 1 day
[14:09] <rmrfslash> release candidate
[14:09] <txwikinger> well.. it might still be nepomuk indexing your drive
[14:10] <rmrfslash> Stigi is idle
[14:10] <rmrfslash> *Strigi
[14:10] <rmrfslash> :P
[14:10] <rmrfslash> almost beat you
[14:10] <txwikinger> :)
[14:11] <rmrfslash> I have a feeling it's the radeon driver
[14:11] <rmrfslash> i turned compositing off though
[14:12] <rmrfslash> the machine is like a good 110 F consistently
[14:12] <txwikinger> well. usually the fans are running because the cpus are very active
[14:12] <rmrfslash> I don't remember it being that hot before
[14:12] <txwikinger> so you should see something in the process list
[14:12] <txwikinger> or maybe the fan control is not working
[14:13] <txwikinger> I had that with a lenovo desktop once
[14:13] <rmrfslash> nothing is really going too nutts
[14:13] <rmrfslash>   /usr/bin/X always seems to hog
[14:13] <rmrfslash> 8-10%
[14:13] <txwikinger> check out if lmsensors IIRC works probably
[14:13] <txwikinger> properly*
[14:13] <rmrfslash> just saw it jump to 30%
[14:14] <rmrfslash> im looking @ the temperature plasmoid
[14:23] <rmrfslash> OK, so I just rebooted and I have no fans going nutts
[14:23] <rmrfslash> tere it goes
[14:26] <wannabe> hi
[14:31] <txwikinger> !ask | wannabe
[14:32] <rmrfslash> OK, so I just shut off Quassel and everything else and the fan shut off
[14:32] <rmrfslash> then I moved the mouse and it went right back on
[14:33] <txwikinger> rmrfslash: hmm.. I know X has a memory leak that they try to fix, but that should not set in so fast
[14:34] <rmrfslash> Well, I'm installing the ATI proprietary driver now
[14:34] <rmrfslash> a.k.a using a GUI to add instability to my system
[14:35] <rmrfslash> reboot time
[14:41] <rmrfslash> temps look a little lower I think
[14:41] <rmrfslash> few degrees
[14:41] <rmrfslash> and dropping
[14:42] <rmrfslash> at about 102-104 now
[14:42] <rmrfslash> i don't see as much "spiking" on the CPU graph
[14:42] <rmrfslash> I have a feeling radeon outsources a lot of computations to the CPU
[14:45] <rmrfslash> Fans are off and I see temps dropping below 100
[14:56] <wannabe> I just installed Kubuntu 9.10. I can't see any wifi network. HW Drivers don't  offer me any HW changes.  My network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
[14:56] <wannabe> can you help me about this?
[14:57] <moetunes> !bcm
[15:55] <penocio> is there ANY way to convert ext3 to fat32 without loosing data?
[16:16] <BluesKaj> hey all
[16:49] <josetgarcia> hello hola?
[16:49] <BobSapp> I installed kubuntu netbook remix, how do i get rid of that applications widget?
[16:51] <josetgarcia> hi, just installed kubuntu (i come from ubuntu) one of my keyboard butto does not work...neither is recognized with xev comand!!! please help!
[16:53] <josetgarcia> hello? anyone here¿
[16:54] <rork> josetgarcia: yes, but people aren't watching the channel all the time
[16:54] <rork> josetgarcia: I don't think I can help you but I'm just wondering is it a special key or a normal one?
[16:54] <josetgarcia> yeah sorry didn't mean it that way....
[16:55] <josetgarcia> its the m key!! i'copy pasting like a dummy!! jajajaja
[16:57] <rork> josetgarcia: sorry for the stupid question but are you sure your keyboard isn't broken?
[16:58] <josetgarcia> thats what i thought, but yesterday it was ok...a was working with ubuntu 9,10...and the thing is that no keycode is shown when running xev comand
[17:00] <josetgarcia> how can i know the keyboard type i have (114/115 keys...)
[17:03] <rork> I was thinking of typing all the characters on it in the sequence they are in and googling it ;)
[17:04] <josetgarcia> could that really work?
[17:07] <josetgarcia> could the key be broken?
[17:07] <rork> it told me I use a standard UK / US qwerty keyboard, but I didn't find a site that identified it by the order if you have a special keyboard you may find it though. Otherwise check your keyboards manual
[17:12] <rork> BobSapp: I think: Right click desktop > add widgets (you can also remove them there)
[17:41] <BobSapp> thanks rork
[18:15] <maxagaz> how to synchronize google account (contacts,calendar,rss,mails) with kontact ?
[18:18] <wannabe_> is that could be? I'm not sure
[18:22] <maxagaz> wannabe_: it seems to be possible with akonadi
[18:22] <maxagaz> but i don't understand how to use it
[18:35] <BluesKaj> maxagaz, make sure you set up sync on googlemail on all your pcs
[18:37] <maxagaz> BluesKaj: how?
[18:38] <BluesKaj> then use your google mail to retrieve emails from your kontact email address in googlemail settings
[18:39] <starenka> hi, how is the alt+f2 (wannabe katapult) called? It doens't refresh it's db, so i wanna restart it to take menu changes into consideration. Or is there any option (haven't seen it), which refreshes the db?
[18:40] <BluesKaj> not alt+f2 , starenka , just do sudo updatedb in the terminal
[18:40] <starenka> oh
[18:40] <starenka> thx
[18:40] <BluesKaj> especially after installing open source apps
[18:42] <starenka> BluesKaj: doesn;t work
[18:44] <BluesKaj> starenka, pls explain what doesn't work ?
[18:45] <starenka> ok, did you get my question in the first place? remember katapult from kde3, right? this alt+f2 thing also launces apps etc. If i modify my menu, the 'thing" doen't know about the changes till i logout.
[18:45] <starenka> need to restart it or smhtng, but i dont know the process/app name
[18:46] <starenka> what didn;t work? updatedb
[18:46] <starenka> ;)
[18:46] <starenka> i mean updatedb finished ok, but no change in the launcher
[18:47] <BluesKaj> updatedb doesn't tell you anything , it just updates the database , that's all
[18:47] <starenka> and?
[18:48] <BluesKaj> the launcher wannabe katapult is somewhat unstable from the reports i've read
[18:48] <starenka> joking? it's in kde 4 ever since
[18:49] <BluesKaj> well, do some research then ..i don't use launchers , i just pin apps to the the panel
[18:49] <starenka> nevermind it's called krunner
[18:50] <starenka> just realized
[18:50] <starenka> cya thx
[18:50] <shadeslayer> lol
[18:50] <shadeslayer> starenka: bye :)
[18:50] <BluesKaj> oh for gawd's sake the run cmnd box ..  :)
[18:51] <BluesKaj> some ppl
[18:51] <shadeslayer> BluesKaj: i swear :P
[18:51] <BluesKaj> katapult ? wth?
[18:52] <BluesKaj> I assume ppl are using current kubuntu versions , so I forget about old apps
[19:02] <Espirito> Hi people? Somebody use DataBase Firebird here? I am having trouble installing with Synaptic and I'm not getting the command line with the package. Gz. Can anyone help me?
[19:02] <inteliwasp> i installed the nvidia drivers from the "hardware drivers" program and now i am unable to load kde, i get "fatal server error: no screens found"
[19:02] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: oh just press alt+F2 and type ' konsole ' and hit enter
[19:03] <BluesKaj> Espirito, make sure all your package sources are enabled in synaptic
[19:03] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: done? now type : sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite : to generate your xorg.conf
[19:03] <inteliwasp> shadeslayer: um.... i'm stuck on the tty logins.....
[19:03] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: oh then just run that commadn
[19:03] <shadeslayer> *command
[19:03] <inteliwasp> kk
[19:03] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: then reboot and voila!
[19:04] <BluesKaj> or just startx, inteliwasp
[19:04] <Espirito> BluesKaj: I marked all the packages on 2.1 for the server, but it's always the same error: that the package firebird2.1-server-common_2.1.2.18118-0.ds1-4_amd64.deb is broken.
[19:04] <shadeslayer> BluesKaj: that wont give him shutdown and reboot options
[19:04] <inteliwasp> shadeslayer: i get a validation error
[19:05] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: can you pastebin it? ( install pastebinit )
[19:07] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, perhaps stopping kdm/X first then sudo nvidi-xconfig might work ...sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop then after config ' restart'
[19:10] <BluesKaj> err, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[19:10] <inteliwasp> BluesKaj: that did not work
[19:10] <inteliwasp> shadeslayer: i did not get a coutom url with pastebinit
[19:14] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, did you do sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart , after sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[19:15] <inteliwasp> BluesKaj: i still get the same error
[19:16] <inteliwasp> oh wait
[19:16] <inteliwasp> ...
[19:16]  * inteliwasp bangs head on table
[19:16] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: you need to switch to tty 7
[19:18] <BluesKaj> shadeslayer, that'll work only if he had a desktop in the first place
[19:18] <inteliwasp> i gotta reboot, be back in a few
[19:22] <inteliwasp> the nvidia config did not work
[19:23] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, which nvidia card ?
[19:23] <inteliwasp> BluesKaj: gforce 9800gt
[19:23] <inteliwasp> or gtx
[19:24] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: hmm.. can you just run : sudo nvidia-xconfig : ?
[19:24] <inteliwasp> shadeslayer: let me try that...
[19:25] <inteliwasp> shadeslayer: it ran no errors
[19:26] <inteliwasp> still no joy on tty7
[19:26] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: you need to do : sudo kdm
[19:26] <shadeslayer> after the nvidia-xconfig command
[19:26] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, that card should run on the nvidia-current driver
[19:27] <inteliwasp> i ran "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart"
[19:32] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, drop to a tty ,stop kdm with sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop  ,install the nvidia-current driver , do sudo nvidia-xconfig , then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[19:35] <inteliwasp> BluesKaj: i used the builtin driver
[19:38] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: nouveau?
[19:38] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: may i suggest adding the xorg edgers PPA for 3D support on nvidia cards
[19:38] <inteliwasp> BluesKaj: nice, the nvidia driver site is not compatable with lynx
[19:40] <wander> olá
[19:40] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, use the nvidia ppa as shadeslayer suggested , you must add it to your sources.list then sudo apt-get update before installing
[19:41] <inteliwasp> nvidia ppa?
[19:41] <BluesKaj> inteliwasp, yeah, check launchpad for the ppa
[19:42] <BluesKaj> BBL...stuff to do
[19:43] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: its a nouveau ppa,the open source driver for nvidia cards
[19:43] <shadeslayer> inteliwasp: you can get it by just googling : xorg edgers ppa
[19:45] <inteliwasp> so i can't use the non opensorce drivers?
[19:45] <kosmonaut> did some1 succesfully try to use amarok + Iphone (ipod touch)?
[19:46] <inteliwasp> i am going to log back latter...

[20:44] <mudassar> hello people I want to install a general media (audio/video) player in kubuntu 9.10 that can play any audio video file ... (how can I configure codecs etc). Furthermore, how to integrate them with firefox like mms format is not recognized when I press a link on a webpage in firefox
[20:44] <BluesKaj> Creative Labs SB Audigy is your soundblaster card...I have that card on another pc, sidney_
[20:44] <mudassar> just let me one apt-get install package that can do all the work for me
[20:45] <BluesKaj> mudassar, VLC
[20:45] <mudassar> BluesKaj: Does it answer my all the questions ?
[20:45] <BluesKaj> mudassar, do you have kubuntu-restricted-extras installed as well as flashplugin-nonfree ?
[20:46] <mudassar> BluesKaj: how to check that ?
[20:46] <mudassar> I dont know
[20:47] <BluesKaj> mudassar, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras flashplugin-nonfree
[20:47] <mudassar> i have installed kubuntu-restricted-extras ... but flash player is already installed I mean I can see youtube
[20:47] <BluesKaj> or look in your package manager
[20:48] <mudassar> will flashplugin-nonfree conflict with my already install flash player for firefox ?
[20:48] <BluesKaj> nope
[20:48] <mudassar> installed *
[20:48] <mudassar> ok
[20:48] <BluesKaj> mudassar, that's what flashplugin is
[20:48] <mudassar> ok both are installed now
[20:48] <mudassar> now what to do ?
[20:49] <James147> BluesKaj: flashplugin-installer is replacing flashplugin-nonfree may as well jsut install it directly :)
[20:49] <mudassar> ok
[20:49] <BluesKaj> James147, it's a plugin
[20:49] <BluesKaj> mudassar, install vlc
[20:50] <luis_> hey there good afternoon all of you guys i like to ask how can i use my cel phone wich is a Motorola Z3 as a webcam is it possible? and if is so can someone refer me on how to do so please???
[20:50] <James147> BluesKaj: I know, but flashplugin-nonfree is just a transitional package that points to the installer
[20:51] <BluesKaj> James147, it points tom the player , if it's installed
[20:52] <mudassar> KMPlayer does not play anything
[20:52] <BluesKaj> usually the flashplayer installs by default
[20:52] <mudassar> furthermore i am still not able to run mms video from webpage link
[20:52] <BluesKaj> mudassar, did you try vlc ?
[20:52] <mudassar> apt-get install vlc  ?
[20:53] <BluesKaj> yes sudo apt-get install vlc
[20:53] <sidney_> vlc plays everything i've thrown at it
[20:53] <mudassar> it is installing
[20:54] <BluesKaj> well, web apps are different and are troublesome in some browsers , depends what you use
[20:54] <mudassar> it plays the video that i select from desktop
[20:55] <mudassar> but sill no luck with mms video on webpage link
[20:55] <BluesKaj> mudassar, which browser?
[20:56] <mudassar> firefox ........ is there any other browser in kubuntu ? (besides its own)
[20:56] <BluesKaj> mudassar, I use chromium , but post the site so i can test it
[20:57] <mudassar> http://www.geo.tv/stream/index.html
[20:58] <mudassar> it is in my native language but just press the link that is blinking
[20:58] <mudassar> it says, "firefox does not know how to open this ............"
[21:05] <luis_> so is there someone in here that knows how to use a cellphone as a webcam? i have a motorola z3 en kubuntu 8.04

[21:34] <BluesKaj> xephexx, describe your problem in more detail pls
[21:48] <patarok> hello!
[21:50] <patarok> could somebody tell me why nvidia-settings cant save my current settings to disc?
[21:50] <patarok> please help....
[21:51] <patarok> it is so annoying to set X the way i want it everytime i boot up my pc.
[21:51] <patarok> im on lucid.
[21:53] <patarok> #ubuntu+1
[21:56] <James147> patarok: you need to run it as root to save the settings (kdesudo nvidia-settings)
[22:00] <BluesKaj> patarok, in the terminal: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[22:01] <James147> BluesKaj: kdesudo is prefured over sudo for graphical applications... not entirly sure why
[22:04] <BluesKaj> James147, kdesudo is used in the run box alt+f2 , aks krunner, not the terminal
[22:04] <BluesKaj> err aka
[22:05] <James147> BluesKaj: it can be run in both... but have heard it is better for graphical applications so tend to use for them... again not entirly sure why
[22:06] <BluesKaj> James147, kdesudo invokes a graphical interface , not required for use in the terminal
[22:07] <James147> BluesKaj: not entirly...http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[22:07] <BluesKaj> James147, this discussion is interfering with helping patarok
[22:08] <BluesKaj> James147, does it really matter or are you just trolling for minor differences
[22:08] <BluesKaj> ?
[22:09] <James147> BluesKaj: It matter some of the time... as "There are other times, though, when side effects can be as mild as Firefox extensions not sticking or as extreme as as not being able to log in any more because the permissions on your .ICEauthority changed."
[22:10] <patarok> i thought i tried that before but the sudo nvidia-xconfig seems to have done the job... a fat THX at James147
[22:10] <James147> BluesKaj: Not trying to troll, just dont think its a good idea to suggest useing sudo when 'some' of the time it can go badly
[22:10] <patarok> THX
[22:10] <patarok> THX
[22:11] <patarok> good bye ill try to restart and look if things keep cool.
[22:11] <BluesKaj> well James147, I've never encountered that problem , so I'm not going to change my advice ...you merely confuse ppl by bringing up this issue which almost never happens as the writer on the page admits
[22:12] <James147> BluesKaj: I have had problems with premission on .ICEauthority before and not being able to log in without changing the premissions back... but havnet had that issue now i use kdesudo
[22:13] <James147> BluesKaj: I am more conserned about the few ppl that encounter the problem that wont know how to fix it and wont beable to log in if it happens. I don't think useing kdesudo instead os sudo is that more confusing
[22:14] <marcosroriz> does lts also apply to kubuntu?
[22:14] <James147> marcosroriz: ??
[22:14] <marcosroriz> because 8.04 wasnt
[22:14] <James147> marcosroriz: ahh, LTS? yes, but the last version that was lts for ubuntu (8.04) wasent for kubuntu
[22:15] <BluesKaj> well now so kdesudo is the new sudo ...is that what you are saying? we have to change almost 15 yrs of commands in the terminal due to an authentication bug?
[22:15] <marcosroriz> this version will be?
[22:15] <James147> BluesKaj: no, just advise to use it for graphical applications... I still use it for command line apps
[22:16] <James147> marcosroriz: 10.04 should be a lts, i think the reason 8.04 wasent was because kde 4.x wasent stable enough and 3.5 was reaching end of life over the life span of an lts
[22:17] <James147> BluesKaj: still use sudo for commandline that is ^^
[22:17] <BluesKaj> I haven't had any problems so i'm not changing . All the tutorials I've read still use sudo , except the one you pointed out.
[22:26] <BluesKaj> James147, why are they using kdesu instead of kdesudo on that page you posted , there's no expalanation
[22:27] <James147> BluesKaj: kdesudo and kdesu are two slightly different programs that basically do the same thing
[22:27] <BluesKaj> anyway , i have no more time for this ...got other stuff to do
[22:27] <James147> BluesKaj: I think kubuntu adpoted kdesudo back when kdesu had some issues with it
[22:29] <BluesKaj> kdesudo was encouraged for the krunner / run command ...maybe they should have mentioned this issue at the time
[22:31] <James147> BluesKaj: I assumed it was encourged for graphical applications in general incase a user encounters the problems with sudo
