[00:18] how do I get mouse gestures to work in konqueror? [00:29] Just replaced ubuntuone with kdropbox ;) [00:29] When they do not support us. We have to do it ourselves ;) [00:42] hello everybody [00:43] hi ednaldo [00:43] hi Spezi [00:44] its my first time in here [00:45] nevermind that ;) can we help you somehow? [00:50] of couse, yes [01:13] hello [01:13] I have installed a new kernel as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds [01:13] but now I have deinstalled it [01:14] according to the same manual [01:14] but it still is booting into that kernel [01:14] how exactly do I boot into my old kernel? [01:15] my last days of linux were when you had to manually had to edit /etc/grub.conf but that is now non-existend [01:15] usually you can choose from different kernel versions in grub before the acutal boot process starts [01:15] and /etc/grub.d is a mess of files [01:15] Spezi, no, not here [01:15] it just picks one (the top, I suppose) [01:15] I'm running quite a fresh 10.04 LTS btw [01:15] and there's no way to get a selection for you? [01:16] Spezi, I have no idea how to configure this new version [01:16] of grub [01:16] there must be at least the option to press escape in order to get the grub dialog [01:16] also, it makes my screen almost illegible, that's why I ask in chat and not research myself [01:16] ok [01:16] because thats also the only way to get into recovery boot mode [01:16] i would really be surprised if that wasn'/t possible [01:17] but where exactly is the grub.conf file you'd edit as a normal user? [01:17] erm, it's called menu.lst or something like that [01:17] i'll have to look to be sure [01:17] should be /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:18] no such file [01:18] its grub2 [01:19] ah ok [01:19] !grub2 | IIVQ [01:19] IIVQ: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:19] ah, so it sticks with grub when i constantly update ubuntu, but uses grub2 on a fresh install? [01:19] hi, sometimes after logoff, or when shutdown or reboot it get "(process: 307 ): Glib-WARNING ** : getpwuid-r () : failed due to unkown user id (0)" i have seen some forum threads, stating that this bug seems to be quite commen, but until now, i have not found a solution or a bug reoprt. does anyone of you know this bug and maybe a solution? [01:24] Benkinooby: sorry, can'/t help you, but .. great nickname :P [01:26] Spezi: thanks [01:28] ok [01:28] appearently update-grub just installs whatever it finds in /boot [01:28] brb, reboot [01:28] hi all [01:28] am trying to open a particular port on ubuntu [01:28] can anyone help [01:29] also how do i display my ip info etc [01:29] hello :> anyone else using kdenlive in 10.04? it seems that when you select screen grab for the video source and click record, nothing at all happens [01:30] hello [01:31] thx peoples who just helped me with grub [01:32] give your thanks to bazhang - i didn'/t know about that grub2 stuff, because i'm on an upgraded 10.04 and it seems to keep grub(1) appearently [01:33] Spezi: it should have asked you if you want to keep using grub1 or grub2 [01:34] uh 9.10 is already some time ago :) but why would i update to the newest ubuntu version as soon as it's released and then keep an older version of the bootloader .. well .. maybe it was a fatal brainlag [01:48] The notification that comes up if you plug in a usb device does not disappear on it's own if you take no action..

[11:30] moetunes, yeah but you don't want to know how long I work with linux [11:30] might be longer than you [11:30] IIVQ: then sudo service kdm stop [11:30] IIVQ: started in '96 [11:30] ok [11:31] I'm an 11-year linux user [11:31] IVQ gdm if under Gnome [11:31] How on earth can Dbus-daemon take up 325 mb ram?
