[00:13] Im on KUbuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). When i right click on the KNetWorkManager icon in the system tray i dont find an option for "Connect to other networks" [00:14] the only options i have are 1. Auto eth0 (active) 2. Enable wirless (this is checked) 3. Manage Connections [00:14] what could be the problem ? [00:15] im currently connected over a wired connection [00:16] the icon on which i right click looks like a grey plug with a green header [00:16] is it KNetworkManager ? === robin is now known as Guest17638 [00:51] I'm trying to get the desktop effects working on my desktop, but every time I try to resume compositing, it tells me that "Another application suspended desktop effects". Is there a way of finding out the other application that is doing this? [00:54] crap, I just installed lucid and now its not going for the password, wtf [01:13] I'd like to see a package manager more like ubuntu software center in kubuntu [01:14] even synaptic would be better than kpackagekit [01:19] rob0917: yeh i think alot of people would , so far no one has made one . [01:20] rob0917: you can use software center with kde though [01:21] How do I update GRUB2? [01:22] you can install it? right? [01:22] the grub.cfg file will not update the kernel [01:22] update-grub [01:22] mase_wk: Just did that and it didn't update [01:22] Byron: what did you change and where did you change it ? [01:23] It is only reporting 2.6.31-14 and I have a 2.6.32-22 (or something similar) that should have been added. [01:24] okay, so I kinda got it working [01:25] I get the following error: [01:25] An error occurred while accessing 87.5 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded: QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths:inotify_add_watch_failed: No such file or directory [01:25] QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: [01:25] /home/bdizzle/.config/ibus/bus [01:25] Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address [01:25] IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon [01:25] bdizzle__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:25] uhmm snv [01:26] srry about that [01:27] okay, so after working with bawww for a while (he's since logged off), I was able to get kubuntu onto a working drive and partition and have partial access to the slave drive [01:27] issue is that I am getting this error for two of the partitions: [01:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/430812/ [01:28] tsk ubuntu is a drug. [01:29] (first day for me) [01:30] I wanna find a website for listening streamingg movie... how can I do? [01:30] ''les sept jours du talion'' [01:31] in french... [01:32] I wanna find a website for listening streamingg movie... how can I do? [01:32] google? [01:32] tough.....it's so much bad result [01:33] results* [01:33] I knowed a website with delymotion but it's break the movie after 72 minutes... [01:36] what java jre "should" i be using? i notice the sun java 6 package is dependant on gnome-keyring [01:50] hi, is there a psd viewer? [01:51] hi , can someone give me the link to ubuntu-server channel ? [01:52] Iubuntu-server | borden [01:53] !ubuntu-server [01:53] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [01:53] borden: see above [01:53] okay , thank you ! [02:08] is there a way to correct a partition table on a drive without trashing the data? [02:11] bdizzle__: something like partedmagic or gparted will do it [02:11] reboot [02:11] ok [02:11] before doing anything do a forced fsck of your existing partitions [02:14] okay [02:22] hi , is there any workaround for this bug on launchpad? : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/566736 [02:40] Hello for all! [02:44] When I start session, my Kubuntu request kwallet password, this is normal, but after the distro upgrade its request also kdesudo password 2 times. This device request your password, is the message, anyone can help me to remove this password popups? [02:44] Does anyone know how to autolaunch a perlscript placed in .kde/Autostart in konsole? [03:13] K350: perl [03:27] err, what is busybox and how did I get to it just by trying to boot? [03:35] i got a microsoft camera with an integrated microphone that's not working [03:35] quick question. anyone know how to make an install disc or an ISO of your current os after it is all configured how you want it? [03:36] the webcam is fine but the integrate mic is not working. Where do I start to fix this [03:36] ? [03:36] the reviews on Lucid (specifically Kubuntu in comparison with Ubuntu) are pretty harsh about package management, no Gwibble? app (they obviously missed Choqok), theming, and no GIMP alternative... [03:37] ForgeAus: where is this review from? [03:38] desktop linux reviews... [03:38] (you can find a link on distrowatch) [03:39] (oh I forgot to mention no Ubuntu One) [03:40] first comment: " [03:40] I could be wrong, but I believe Kubuntu is completely a community project and other than the logo and the repos, the project is not driven by Canonical at all. [03:40] Read more: http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/05/03/kubuntu-linux-10-04-lts-lucid-lynx/#ixzz0nUTS5Rd7 [03:40] my view is more that Ubuntu has gone OSX-Leopard-alike with its Gnome-do being an obvious ripoff of Quicksilver, the desktop background, and a few other touches, its like Ubuntu is the latest Leopard? lol [03:40] anyone can help e with my problem? [03:41] whats up ytoox? [03:41] I am trying to figure out why my webcam's integrated mic does not work on ubuntu [03:41] ForgeAus: pretty much [03:41] ForgeAus: Kubuntu has better direction, it's uniquely progressive [03:42] I mean what's the future of Ubuntu, Gnome Shell? [03:42] give me a break [03:42] gnome shell is a mistake [03:43] that's more like a developer sort of program not user friendly [03:43] ytoox uh great question, wish I knew, you have tried volume? [03:43] ForgeAus: yes [03:43] bawww: You've got to be kidding. What is Kubuntu Lucid but generic KDE 4.4? None of the Ubuntu specialisations are present. [03:43] is there a dedicated webcam irc chat? [03:44] DarthFrog: what specializations ? [03:44] I use Kubuntu because I like KDE and I like deb packages. [03:44] Ubuntu One music store? [03:44] purple color [03:44] bawww: That's one. No "Me Menu". [03:44] and glitter? [03:44] ytoox I doubt it, webcams are mostly different hardware (that does the same function) [03:45] ytoox: try alsamixer [03:45] ytoox unless someone else knows here all I can suggest is that google is your friend [03:45] see if any volumes are muted [03:45] DarthFrog: of course KDE is the backbone of Kubuntu [03:46] bawww: You might say it's the defining feature. :-) [03:46] baww: yeah I did, but its a microsoft usb webcam [03:46] baww Kubuntu is by far the best integrated KDE desktop I've seen yet [03:46] video works right but no microphone [03:46] bawww: But there's nothing special about the Kubuntu version of KDE. Other than the underlying Ubuntu repos. [03:46] it uses pretty much no GTK apps (with the possible exception of Firefox) [03:46] baww: you havent seen opensuse yet [03:46] well repos are important apt is important [03:47] and kde is very important [03:47] bawww: Agreed. I love the repos and apt. But you don't even need X running for those. [03:47] one review is not the same as 'the reviews on Lucid' ;) [03:47] Never mind KDE. [03:48] good point claydoh [03:48] DarthFrog: DE ties everything together [03:48] and it does start out very positive... [03:48] I think its a matter of bad timing in some cases [03:48] like the GIMP alternative is likely to be one of the KOffice gfx apps... [03:49] which isn't really "there" yet... in KDE4 anyway... afaik [03:49] ForgeAus: I don't know if Kubuntu is the best KDE distro [03:49] bawww, I know some of the data is still there at least [03:49] but I'm pretty sure the drive is corrupt and I have to wait until I can get an external drive to transfer things, assuming I can get it up [03:49] and social networking is relatively new for clients, as well as Ubuntu One being in beta itself... [03:49] Kubuntu never had a default image editor, ever [03:49] ForgeAus: Lucid has really good improvements, the Firefox integration was much needed [03:50] so many of those points weren't fair in that view [03:50] claydoh: true [03:50] Krita isn't that bad of an image editor. [03:50] i've been using it on and off [03:50] Krita is there by default [03:50] ? [03:50] gwenview/digikam's plugins do well for basic stuff [03:50] there are other applications that Kubuntu repos have, that make Kubuntu worth it like Kdenlive [03:51] no, krita is not there by default [03:51] Krita, I don't think so. it's part of koffice [03:51] I know Krita is part of Koffice [03:52] there are some other distros that come on KDE pretty heavy [03:57] hi all [03:57] having issues with launching kpackage === ruben is now known as Guest59298 [03:58] i've been trying to launch it and in the 'software management' tab, instead of showing me the search bar to search for software, it says 'this configuration section is already opened in kde control module' [03:59] what exactly does that mean? [03:59] on karmic wasnt there a preinstalled program that allowed you to make a backup iso of your OS? [03:59] moderndayzero: not from us [04:00] dell put that on their machines, but we've never included anything like that [04:08] ruben which version of Kubuntu do you have [04:08] perhaps your looking for kpackagekit [04:32] what version of kde is kubuntu 10.04 using? [04:38] Anyone on 10.04 with nVidia driver: How did you enable 3d rendering? [04:38] devin: you can update to the latest stable release [04:41] i mostly like grub2, but then i thought i'd make a backup copy of my partition before upgrading to lucid. except, oops, forgot to change the uuid. kinda messy:) ended up that i upgraded the backup. that worked. so i copied it back to my ssd (again with gparted) and this time i set the uuid of the copy and also changed the /etc/fstab to mount that new UUID at /. update-grub; grub-install now puts entries for both partitions. but when i go to the new one [04:43] tl;dr ... i try again! gparted copied a lucid install. booted a livecd to change uuid for partition and update its fstab to match. booted old install to update-grub; grub-install so the new one gets detected. select the new one from the menu, but it winds up with the old partition as / when booted. wtf? [04:44] !grub | fyn [04:44] fyn: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:44] i read the ubuntu wiki grub2 page extensively. [04:44] fyn: Go through the livecd install without formatting any of the partitions. That will get you GRUB installed where you want [04:44] i don't know what you're saying? [04:45] boot the livecd and tell it to install over the partition? === guest_ is now known as ForgeAus [04:47] your advice is scary and even if it works, does not help me understand why changing the uuid and fstab was insufficient. does anyone else know what else update-grub or etc/grub.d/10_linux is keying on that's causing it to make seperate entries for sda3 and sdc6 but still boot into sdc6 when selecting the sda3 menu entry even though sda3 has a different uuid listed in blkid and when i mount it and check the fstab, yep, that's the uuid i'm mounting to / [04:48] fyn: No. Do NOT install/format the partitions [04:49] If you go through a typical install without any formatting or installing, you're only going to set the GRUB menu [04:49] Follow the instructions outlined in the URL provided to you. [04:52] hello [04:53] hi [04:54] hmm.. [04:54] what is Qt 4.6 [04:54] ? [04:55] what s for? [04:55] Qt is the toolkit [04:55] that KDE is based on [04:55] tool kit for what? [04:55] ie the widgets you see in your dialog boxes are provided by Qt... [04:55] yes im using ubuntu [04:55] (or something like that) [04:55] ubuntu? ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde [04:55] (gnome uses GTK+ instead of Qt) [04:56] sorry kubuntu [04:56] how can i know if my kubuntu have qt? [04:57] daweed: KDE is based upon Qt. [04:57] daweed: it can't not have Qt :) [04:57] Qt provides the buttons, window decorations, etc. [04:57] DarthFrog: mase_wk ok tnks [04:57] Byron: that guide also uses grub-install and update-grub2 (the man page of which says it's a stub for the update-grub) that i'm using. so it does not help me understand why that is not working for me as it is essentially the same procedure. you're saying that running it from the livecd will work differently than from the installed copy, why? please help me understand, if you know? [04:59] do you know how can i fix the bug +bug/476853 cuz ive reed the page but im looking for a software patch or a code to try in the command line [05:00] i cant install anything from getdeb [05:00] why does Kubuntu need the Message Indicator applet, can't the applications just use KDE's [05:00] fyn: I don't know for a fact how it works. There are instructions on the RestoreGrub URL which will walk you through the process so that you do not lose any content, however, you can restore GRUB2. If you want to give it a go, you can manually try to set it up through a LiveCD manipulation of your HDD. On a similar note, you can try your luck with SGD, but I don't think it works well, if at all, with GRUB2. [05:00] heh getdeb? hmm linux mint does that by default [05:00] not even with firefox and nighter with konqueror [05:01] neither firefox nor konqueror are installers [05:01] ForgeAus: is the mint version better than kubuntu? [05:01] as with most things about Linux "better" is a matter of opinion [05:02] Byron: I have grub2 installed via those scripts, it's just getting confused by two copies of the same partition, one on my ssd, one one my hd. I changed the uuid but that made those scripts create a weird grub2 menu where it *looks* like it has an entry for both, but when you use the ssd entry, it still winds up booting the install on the hd. [05:02] mint is based on Kubuntu anyway [05:02] Byron: Thanks though! The wiki tutorials are quite good and cover most normal situations, I'm just too cautions for making a backup and am apparently being punished for it :) [05:03] fyn: best of luck to you [05:03] AHA! [05:03] I found it. [05:04] is in kubuntu 9.1 a software to unzip or i need to download it too? [05:04] search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b69fe6ed-f29c-49d1-b228-a9db767ac888 [05:04] linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=9148935c-f14d-40d5-982c-91d9fd16c743 ro quiet splash [05:04] daweed ark is the archiver program for kubuntu [05:04] (generally afaik) [05:04] The top UUID is indeed the ssd, but the one passed as a parameter to the kernel is being set to the old one. [05:05] note: I'm not the biggest fan of ark... [05:05] ForgeAus: and where can i found ark? [05:05] it should be in your kmenu [05:05] (or kickoff) [05:05] Where is it reading the one to pass to the kernel from and why does it get that from a different place than, um, the partition it's trying to set up? Presumably it has decided to make an entry for this partition based on seeing an inird or kernel image there so I'd imagine it'd also want that to be the corresponding root= !?!? [05:06] probably under utilities or system submenu [05:09] I was torrenting Kubuntu 10.04 but saved it to a location I didn't have write permission. I have int3rnet like 5 kb/s XD. The client is bittorrent. What can I do? [05:09] [CURRENT OS: GENTOO] [05:10] i download something from getdeb in a compressed file and i un zip it and now i want to install the software but i dont know how help! pls [05:10] phyx: if it let you torrent it, it was writing it ... someplace? maybe it has a temporary place it stores it while it downloads then tries to move it to where you told it after. try searching your filesystem for the iso's filename? [05:11] sudo find / -type f -name 'kubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' [05:11] Right? [05:12] (the command) [05:12] what file sould i try to fing [05:12] find [05:12] The filename [05:14] i'd start with your home dir [05:14] ~/.bittorrent/incomplete ;) [05:14] there you go :) [05:14] what is tar.gz? what it is for? [05:15] daweed: tar is for sticking a bunch of files together into one file and gz is for shrinking one file [05:15] Just a random file name. [05:15] Its not even the corrent file type (iso) [05:16] phyx: oh, so you didn't find it? :( ... is it the right size? [05:16] Checking the md5sums, but the pages take like ? period of time to load ! :P [05:17] phyx: there's a command called "file" that looks at the first bit of a file to see what type it probably is. it'll tell you if something is an iso even if it's not called iso [05:17] ive donwnload 3 files to install xvideothief and i cant install it ive download the zip files and i want to install it now [05:18] $ file 54a83342-e45c [05:18] 54a83342-e45c: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Kubuntu 10.04 LTS amd64 ' (bootable) [05:18] :) [05:18] phyx: niiiice [05:18] so thanks :) [05:18] i have data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz and devian-bynary, now what? [05:18] phyx: you might want to rename it someplace to the right name and try saving the torrent over it again [05:19] does the lucid version has less problems? [05:19] phyx: just in case it didn't get the last bit and if you don't feel like putting the md5s in files and running diff or whatever other means you might try to compare them [05:20] phyx: since it would suck if you have 99% of the iso and get it mostly installed only to have some weirdass problem that takes you a week to hunt down.. [05:20] Its complete too [05:20] phyx: tho you're probably good since it *did* try to copy it to the new location and you'd think it wouldn't do that unless it was done [05:20] phyx: yay! [05:20] The md5sum matches. :) [05:20] lol [05:20] Thanks [05:21] Byron: turns out lucid is just dumb and slaps one uuid over everything: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/551790 is what i was running into, in case someone else is getting a similar situation. [05:22] i want to burn files downloaded from youtube and burnit to a dvd what should i do i have the k3d how to combert the files [05:23] kpackagekit i want to useit cuz with get deb i cant install the software frome there [05:24] do you have to use UUID? [05:24] and ive download the kxtodvd but it hangs still on 1% [05:24] bawww: are you telling me? [05:25] bawww: nah, but i prefer to. i think the update-grub script works on uuid anyhow, regardless of what i have in fstab [05:25] is there a video podcast application for kde ? [05:26] daweed: i don't know the answer but i know a keyword that might help you in your googling: the type of converting you're talking about is called transcoding, so try searching on "kde easy dvd transcode" or something. [05:27] fyn: tnks [05:27] daweed: tho really that's just the part where you take your h.264 encoded video that youtube tends to use and make it into mpeg2 encoded video, that's not covering the part where you need to set it up as a proper dvd so your tv will eat it. [05:27] daweed: maybe [05:27] daweed: "linux dvd authoring software" [05:28] fyn: what is the last one? [05:28] daweed: they tend to call making a dvd that plays on dvd players "dvd authoring" [05:29] daweed: so that's what you're trying to do. so knowing what it's called might help you. i try :) [05:30] daweed: erm, i just realised it might seem like i'm messing with you, i'm not... i really have no idea how since i just have my computer playing the files straight the way i download them--i plug it into my projector rather than bother with dvd players. [05:32] fyn: yeahh i know abouth bother w dvd players but i will make a trip in mexico of like 2 weeks and i have a dvd player in my stereo car and i want to have a lot of dvd videos to watch [05:32] fyn: what is erm? [05:33] hehe [05:33] fyn: where do you live? do you know mexico? [05:33] daweed: erm is me typing the noise i would make in that situation. like er ... umm. but faster. [05:34] daweed: i'm in canada. i know where mexico is, but i haven't toured it extensively. only place i've been there is san luis potosi. [05:35] http://linuxappfinder.com/multimedia/dvdauthoring [05:35] fyn: is it cool? san luis potosi? ill take the car and frome el paso texas straight to zacatecas and later to sanluis potosi, tampico tamaulipas, and then going down to veracruz by the beach road [05:38] fyn: that page that you show me is very cool, but now i only need wich one suport the youttube videos [05:38] fyn: i was there for a mexican buddy's wedding. it was a neat old city, but if i was just hanging out in mexico i'd prolly spend the time on the beach. oh, and there was this crazy thing near there i was gonna rent a car and see but didn't get time: http://www.eyeconart.net/mexico/pozas.htm [05:39] haha i'm talkin to myself ;) [05:40] daweed: yah, see, that's what i'm trying to say there are two parts to what you are trying to do. [05:40] daweed: first part: you "transcode" from whatever format you rip out of youtube into mpeg2 which is what dvds use. [05:41] daweed: second part: you "dvd author" yourself a dvd which isn't just a mpeg2 file but some menus 'n shit [05:41] daweed: well, you also have to rip the file off youtube in the first place and once you get a dvd image you need to burn it, but you get the gist? [05:45] the pozas are very cool ill write it down to go and ill show you later the pics just remememberme and ask i start to came to this chanel for some help im good working with linux but is alwais the same and now i want to makeme an upgrade hahaha of the os [05:45] fyn: the pozas are very cool ill write it down to go and ill show you later the pics just remememberme and ask i start to came to this chanel for some help im good working with linux but is alwais the same and now i want to makeme an upgrade hahaha of the os [05:48] fyn: yeah if i use the k3d i should use mpeg2 that is like avi right? [05:49] daweed: it's all needlessly complicated! would you believe that avi and mov and mkv and those things are containers that can hold video streams that are encoded in different ways? so you can have two .avi files and one is h.264 and the other one mpeg2 but they're both avi!? [05:51] fyn: i think that ill need to have a course [05:51] hahaha [05:51] im not familiar with that [05:51] but ill try to remember its easy [05:52] daweed: well, i think i told you the main pieces of it all, it's just a matter of finding the programs to do it, and i've got nothing [05:53] fyn: and what is the really kind of file that i need to encode the mpeg2? if there are flv or h18? then what? [05:53] does anyone know of some nice qt wrapper on stuff where you can just drag some arbitrary video and it'll transcode it then build you a dvd? [05:54] daweed: you can take it from any source that whatever you're using to convert can read. pretty much, if your mplayer can play it, your mplayer can probably also transcode it (check the mencoder manpage for details!) [05:57] fyn: tnks 4 your help [05:58] daweed: np, best of luck with that... [06:25] So, I've just upgraded to 10.04 and keyboard/mouse are unresponsive in X. Currently at console. Thinkpad T61 laptop. [06:25] erm, corry. [06:26] Upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04, keyboard/mouse on my laptop top respond in X, only way out once X has started is to power cycle. Thinkpad laptop. Currenlty in console / screen. [06:41] does anyone use twidge? [06:58] hi there [06:58] in dolphin I can access other partitions and read them but can't write to them [06:58] how do I make them writable ? [07:03] silv3r_m00n: you could in konsole do sudo chmod -Rv a+w /path/to/partition [07:04] gottto: do I need to do that everytime [07:04] can't it be mounted in a writable manner ? [07:04] silv3r_m00n: should only need it the once [07:04] hmm [07:05] silv3r_m00n: do you have a fstb entry for it? [07:05] I tried changing permissions of the path directory , but that didn't work [07:05] why ? [07:05] what does R v a w mean ? [07:06] silv3r_m00n: an entry in /etc/fstab would mount the partition at boot every time and you would set it as writeble there [07:06] R is recursive - does all dirs and files and v is verbose [07:07] ais for all users and w is for write [07:07] s/ais/a is [07:11] can't I have 2 panels at bottom [07:11] one above the other ? [07:15] I have a ext4 partition , what should be the line to mount it as writable , in fstab ? [07:17] I found yet another bug in kubuntu 10.04. When I press the usual key sequence to decrease the brightness of my screen (laptop), the graphic comes up to increase / decrease brightness, but the screen doesn't actually change [07:17] also, yet again I find knetworkmanager to be annoying beyond belief, but it doesn't remove itself when wicd is installed [07:19] silv3r_m00n: Ijust have /dev/sda8 /media/sda8 ext4 noatime 0 2 - I must have chmodded it [07:20] "I must have chmodded it" means ? [07:20] does anyone know of a fix for the screen brightness issue? [07:21] silv3r_m00n: I did the sudo chmod -Rv etc thing [07:22] which is better chmod or fstab entry ? [07:24] silv3r_m00n: I used both together [07:25] why ? [07:25] one should work [07:25] I mean either [07:28] what does noatime means [07:30] it is short for no access time meaning it doesn't write the time the file is accessed everytime - speeds things up a little and saves on disk writes [07:32] hi [07:33] the fstab file has some lines like this >> UUID=8caf44c3-64f0-4938-8bdf-af35c8f1cd76 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [07:33] I hope the lines I add won't conflict with them [07:33] where's the kontact/kdepim bug tracking? [07:33] !uuid | silv3r_m00n [07:33] silv3r_m00n: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [07:34] launchpad says that kdepim dont use him for bug tracking [07:34] suppose I add a line to fstab and there is alread a corresponding line above using the uuid , will there be a conflict ? [07:35] is it fine to do so ? [07:35] how do I reload the fstab file without restarting my system? [07:35] silv3r_m00n: you shouldn't mount the same /dev/ twice [07:35] that's why I am asking [07:35] silv3r_m00n: sudo mount -av [07:35] silv3r_m00n: What do you mean? [07:36] silv3r_m00n: You don't "reaload" the fstab file. You remount / umount / mount filesystems. [07:37] ok mount -av did it [07:37] but I need to do that again , as I changed an option in fstab [07:38] doing again says nothing was mounted [07:38] already mounted [07:49] I added this line [07:49] /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 ext4 noatime,rw 0 0 [07:49] but still its not writable [07:49] why ? [07:49] do the ubuntu upgrade instructions apply to the kubuntu desktop too? [07:49] silv3r_m00n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:49] ie: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading === lenscrafters is now known as coinoperational [07:52] gottto: there ? [07:52] silv3r_m00n: yep - and I told you you have to chmod it [07:53] strange [07:53] I have put the rw option [07:53] still chmod [07:53] how does upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 affect postgres databases? [08:07] silv3r:try this:/dev/sda5 /home/avauntage/DATA ntfs defaults,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0 [08:08] silv3r:try this:/dev/sda5 /home/avauntage/DATA ntfs defaults,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0 [08:09] gottto: chmod worked , I tried it on 1 partition [08:10] but it is changing permission of each and every file [08:10] another parition has lot of data [08:10] is it fine to do this chmod thing there too [08:15] silv3r_m00n: yep - just leave out the v in -Rv if you don't want to see the messages fly by [08:15] hmm [08:15] gr8 [08:15] worked fine [08:16] I still wonder why it didn't work when I changed the permissions of those directories , and that when I mounted them with rw option [08:17] 'cause you had rw on the partition not the files - linux basics at play [08:17] gr8 [08:21] how do I stop these pidgin notifications ? [08:22] they popup eveytime someone logins in out or messages [08:23] * starslights great's the chan [08:26] !power [08:26] hey guys whats the package responsible for power management [08:27] !powermanagement [08:28] ack!!! I just lost an 11-page OO doc I've been writing for hours...would it be in any kind of cache perhaps? [08:28] dennister: should have auto recover [08:29] even after I overwrote it? [08:29] overwrote it how [08:30] i meant to simply copy the first paragraph to email, so I highlighted it, then saved it...when I went to open it again, only the 1st paragraph had been saved [08:30] the rest of the 11 pages was gone [08:30] dennister: not that i know of [08:31] so i've lost most of my work? [08:32] eagles0513875: the rest of it isn't somewhere in a cache I don't kow about yet? [08:33] dennister: not sure if there is a cache or not tbh :( [08:34] i'd settle for it being somewhere in a tmp directory :( [08:36] dennister: let me see if there is an open office channel on freenode [08:37] dennister: all im finding is http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ the forums === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [08:39] eagles0513875: there is an open office channel somewhere, I seem to remember from awhile back...but I'm gonna try a locate first [08:39] ok [08:39] gd luck [08:40] im bout to soon go reinstall as this in stall was way too buggy :( [08:40] eagles0513875: thx...gd luck to you, too [08:40] need it big time got lucid installed in a rather unconventional way === charles_ is now known as Guest97220 [09:20] lol I think they should rename ubuntu to Gnobuntu [09:21] hi!
