[00:06] <DT`> my computer supports booting to USB, can i install Lucid to an 8gb stick and run it from that?  if so, can it be done from within another linux distro?
[00:07] <havane31> with unetbootin
[00:08] <DT`> got a link handy to the page for that?
[00:09] <havane31> you can easily found it with google
[00:09] <havane31> find
[00:09] <DT`> ok thanks
[00:09] <amichair> !usb
[00:09] <DT`> aha
[00:09] <DT`> thank you amichair and havane31
[00:10] <amichair> DT`: I'm not sure if it's updated, but there's a usb creator in kubuntu's menus too...
[00:10] <havane31> :)
[00:11] <DT`> well i'm not using kubuntu, i'm on crunchbang, almost everything need to be done command line or i need to know the exact name of the program
[00:12] <DT`> (which is great for low power systems like my old AMD k5 with a whopping 100mb of ram :P)
[00:12] <amichair> DT`: ok then, I guess u can read up on various methods and pick the one which suits your needs :-)
[00:12] <havane31> xubuntu is a good choice
[00:15] <DT`> havane i ran xubuntu on it, but the new (9.x+) don't run on it all. with crunchbang i can actually use a live CD and not have to install to disk
[00:16] <ridin> sound isn't playing when i watch youtube videos
[00:16] <ridin> i've installed pulseaudio, doesn't seem to help
[00:17] <havane31> you could try with unetbootin DT`
[00:18] <havane31> it is faster with an usb stick, faster with a live cd
[00:18] <DT`> i may do that after reading the page
[00:18] <havane31> faster than with a live cd
[00:18] <DT`> USB is not an option on that old fossil tho :/
[00:18] <havane31> ( my english is not perfect)
[00:19] <DT`> (neither is mine and i'm american :P)
[00:19] <havane31> ( i am french :)
[00:19] <DT`> now, if i use unetbootin to make a live USB stick, will it save setting and so forth?
[00:20] <DT`> in other words, will it act like a hard disk install?
[00:20] <havane31> it will save if it is persistent i think
[00:20] <havane31> it is an option
[00:20] <DT`> ok
[00:20] <DT`> will have to look. that seems to be the easiest option
[00:21] <DT`> not quite ready to format my hard drive. got alot of stuff to back up first
[00:21] <havane31> i saw on official ubuntu webpages a software used to make bootable usb sticktoo
[00:21] <sidney> someone has a lins as to where i register a nick
[00:21] <sidney> link
[00:21] <Gerwin> sidney: /msg NickServ help register
[00:22] <ridin> so, can anyone help??
[00:23] <DT`> sorry ridin, i've never had an issue with audio on any computer i've done :(
[00:24] <Gerwin> ridin: What's your problem?
[00:24] <havane31> it is called universal usb installer
[00:24] <havane31> DT`
[00:25] <ridin> Gerwin: I can't listen to flash files, or anything else, only amarok and the start up sound
[00:26] <Gerwin> ridin: Sorry, no experience on that :(
[00:27] <DT`> ok, i'll mess with that stuff in a bit, will return if i have an issues, thanks all
[00:29] <ridin> none of my output devices work
[00:29] <Gerwin> At least one of them must be working, since you can hear the startup sound, and can listen to Amarok ;)
[00:29] <ridin> not anymore.
[00:44] <alex_____> kubuntu rocks!
[00:45] <amichair> alex_____: agreed :-)
[00:51] <alex_____> The plymouuth boot app doesn't works well!
[00:51] <SovereignEntity> can someone here help with a pysdm error message
[00:51] <SovereignEntity> An error occurred while mounting /media/sdc1
[00:53] <Typos_King> SovereignEntity:   yes, that error means that 'error occurred while mounting /media/sdc1' :)
[00:54] <SovereignEntity> Typos_King:  but i uninstalled the program and the drive is mounter with another program
[00:55] <SovereignEntity> but i still get the error
[00:55] <Typos_King> well
[00:55] <Typos_King> you seem to think is 'pysdm' for some reason, maybe the error comes from something else :), from changes pysdm made to fstab
[00:56] <SovereignEntity> ok can someone point me in the direction to get rid of this error
[00:57] <chilipep4> hello.  say, i've never used kubuntu, but was wondering how it compares to ubuntu?  yeah, sure, i understand it uses kde instead of gnome, but that can't be literally the only difference ... (can it???)
[00:57] <alex_____> yeap, thats the only difference
[00:58] <SovereignEntity> the error came up after installing and using pysdm
[00:58] <SovereignEntity> thats why i unstalled
[00:58] <Typos_King> chilipep4:   yes :)
[00:59] <Typos_King> chilipep4:    that's pretty much it
[00:59] <chilipep4> alex____, Typos_King: oh, so it still uses openoffice, ubuntuone, jockey, and doesn't really have any more bugs?
[01:00] <Typos_King> yeap
[01:00] <Typos_King> just different desktop manager and default window manager, I don't use kwin, I use another window manager, but run kde apps :)
[01:03] <alex_____> kubuntu just install kde desktop almost without applying any customization
[01:03] <chilipep4> ah, well, thanks for the information.  i guess that satisfies my curiosity
[01:10] <dbc254> looking at my directories from a shell, there's an "L" instead of a "D" in front of my /home directory.  Does this mean it's a link?
[01:14] <Typos_King> sounds like it
[01:15] <judgen> is there a nighly repo for kde4.5beta for lucid somewhere?
[01:15] <Typos_King> dbc254:    can you post a screenshot of what you're looking at?  in Details mode, paste it at imgur.com
[01:15] <Typos_King> I dunno if that means is a link or not, sounds like it from what you said, then again, dunno, mine isn't, when I'm on ~
[01:21] <Typos_King> dbc254:    ksnapshot :)
[01:27] <Typos_King> dbc254:    so, which is the link?  I don't see it on that image?
[01:27] <dbc254> the top left window is my shell
[01:28] <Typos_King> yes
[01:29] <Typos_King> I don't see your HOME folder as being a link, it isn't even listed in any way anyway, you do have a link  there, but that's another matter
[01:30] <snarkfish> how do you get thumbnails for movie files?
[01:30] <Typos_King> snarkfish:     take a quick snapshot of the movie :)
[01:31] <Typos_King> make a thumbnail off it
[01:31] <Typos_King> usually a media player will have such tool, I use xine-ui, and has a 'camera' icon I can just click and snapshots it
[01:31] <snarkfish> isnt there some sort of plugin that will make previews of movie files?
[01:32] <Typos_King> maybe, I never looked for one myself
[01:35] <dbc254> http://imgur.com/3166p.jpg
[01:35] <markus_> snarkfish: If you find out let me know. We need that for videocatcher :)
[01:38] <Typos_King> dbc254:  saw that
[01:38] <snarkfish> well i found out how to use ffmpeg.. want the link?
[01:39] <snarkfish> markus_: http://blog.prashanthellina.com/2008/03/29/creating-video-thumbnails-using-ffmpeg/
[01:40] <markus_> snarkfish: Googled that up too. Already checking if this program uses ffmpeg. (read that mplayer also creates thumbnails)
[01:40] <snarkfish> http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/08/howto-set-movie-covers-as-thumbnails-on.html
[01:41] <snarkfish> wonder if the second link would work with dolphin cause its a gtk program
[01:43] <Typos_King> snarkfish:     I may look into mplayer arguments, it may allows a quickshot at some offset or so
[01:46] <snarkfish> hmm ok. thanx
[01:47] <snarkfish> what about this one? http://blog.radevic.com/2008/06/how-to-create-movie-or-video-frame.html
[01:59] <Typos_King> ..
[01:59] <Typos_King> can't say snarkfish
[01:59] <Typos_King> looks ok though

[03:06] <jaem> Hello.  I installed the ubuntu-desktop meta-package on Kubuntu, just to try it out later, and it fiddled with my file associations.  Is there an easy way to reverse this?  (e.g. if some package's post-install messed with them, is there a corresponding Kubuntu package I could reinstall to do the opposite?)
[03:42] <king_> hi
[03:43] <king_> join #ubuntu-es
[04:16] <alex_____> it would be great to match consitency betwen the kubuntu plymouth theme, kdm and ksplash
[04:20] <BiggFREE> Hi
[04:22] <alex_____> hi
[04:43] <BiggFREE> bbl
[04:57] <matyd1> running kubuntu 10.04 and I am wondering why when I hook my hdmi cord up to the television it isn't working? I've tried googling but not too sure where to start or how to word it
[05:03] <matyd`> i'm running kubuntu 10.04 and am wondering why, when I plug my hdmi cord into the laptop that's connected to the television doesn't work. I tried googling buthad no luck and really wasn't sure how to even word that lol
[05:09] <mase_wk> matyd: hi matyd
[05:09] <matyd> hello
[05:09] <mase_wk> there are a number of reasons why it may not work, firstly your card may not be supported
[05:10] <mase_wk> if it is supported, it may be using the incorrect driver
[05:10] <mase_wk> those are the most common causes.
[05:10] <mase_wk> can you tell me a bit about the video card your using ?
[05:10] <matyd> yeah, sorry i'm pretty new to linux
[05:11] <matyd> pretty newb tbh
[05:11] <mase_wk> actually another common cause is that you just haven't told it to out put to the hdmi port, but we'll get to that later
[05:11] <mase_wk> thats fine, no experience needed
[05:11] <matyd> yeah i opened the kde multiple monitors deal and it just says its not configured
[05:12] <mase_wk> ok, no problem, so to begin with, what is your video card ?
[05:12] <mase_wk> what make /model
[05:12] <mase_wk> this can usually be found in the hardware manual
[05:12] <mase_wk> if you don't know off the top of your head
[05:13] <matyd> let me check ;P
[05:14] <matyd> pretty sure its: Discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS graphics
[05:15] <mase_wk> okay then. gimme a few mins, just have to attend to some thing and i'll be right back
[05:16] <matyd> sorry i was wrong
[05:16] <matyd> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[05:36] <matyd> fixed it, went to desktop settings and check marked desktop effects
[05:36] <matyd> works awesome now thanks
[05:49] <matyd> okay its working and everything but the sound is not
[05:50] <mase_wk> hey sorry got a bit caught up
[05:50] <mase_wk> so you got it working , cool
[05:50] <mase_wk> except for the sound
[05:50] <matyd> right
[05:50] <matyd> tried playing a movie, the sound played on the laptop but didn't play on my surround sound
[05:53] <mase_wk> well done, i guess from a sound pov you could look at kmix
[05:53] <mase_wk> right click on the sound / speaker icon
[05:53] <sokeman> anyone from townsville???
[05:53] <mase_wk> and select show mixer window
[05:53] <mase_wk> then on mine, i have a button that says master
[05:54] <matyd> kmix isn't bold
[05:54] <matyd> can't click on it
[05:54] <mase_wk> if you click on the button it should expand
[05:54] <matyd> ahh i got ya
[05:54] <mase_wk> yeh you should get all the different options, you might just have one of the options muted
[05:54] <mase_wk> or low
[05:55] <sokeman> ANYONE from townsville???
[05:55] <mase_wk> sokeman: if someone is from townsville they will say so
[05:55] <matyd> i did have one muted, let me check now
[05:55] <mase_wk> also not everyone is monitoring the channel all the time
[05:57] <mase_wk> matyd: there is also a sound option in the system settings
[05:57] <mase_wk> wich allows you to increase/ decrease the device priority
[05:57] <mase_wk> that may be of some use to you
[05:57] <matyd> k let me check that also
[05:57] <mase_wk> it could possibly list an HDMI output
[05:57] <mase_wk> which can be increased in priority for video
[05:58] <mase_wk> i don't have HDMI unfortunately so i have never tried it
[05:58] <matyd> yeah it did and i was able to test the 'HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)' and it worked
[05:59] <mase_wk> cool
[05:59] <mase_wk> well done
[05:59] <matyd> trying to figure out how to get it to work for the movie hehe
[06:00] <matyd> well its not working for the movie that is currently playing though
[06:01] <matyd> the driver is working though heh
[06:01] <matyd> could it be the dragon player?
[06:01] <matyd> should i look into another media player for the movies maybe
[06:02] <matyd> vlc
[06:09] <liveCD> hi guys, I installed Kubuntu yesterday, everything fine, install and upgrade some stuff
[06:09] <liveCD> then today when I reboot, I stumble upon a grub prompt and nothing more :S
[06:14] <fede11001> Hi
[06:15] <fede11001> Could you please help me?
[06:15] <fede11001> I have just installed Kubuntu 10.04
[06:15] <fede11001> and have no sound...
[06:15] <liveCD> check the volume with kmix
[06:15] <liveCD> fede11001: how did you check the sound ?
[06:18] <fede11001> i just have to input kmix in the console
[06:18] <fede11001> i am new at this.. sorry :S
[06:19] <lyhana8> fede11001: Alt+F2 then type kmix
[06:19] <lyhana8> or in the statut bar, also check your speaker
[06:20] <fede11001> the speaker in the status bar
[06:20] <fede11001> is ok
[06:21] <fede11001> when i ran kmix it keeps loading
[06:21] <fede11001> and after that nothing happens...
[06:21] <fede11001> the program on the tray gets closed
[06:22] <fede11001> i have an NVidia hda
[06:22] <fede11001> it seems to be a quite regular error
[06:22] <fede11001> but i found no solution in forums or google
[06:22] <fede11001> :S
[06:23] <fede11001> there are some site that asks if i am running pulse
[06:23] <fede11001> or something like that..
[06:23] <fede11001> any idea?
[06:23] <lyhana8> did ypu try to install the proprietary driver ? Alt+F2 type `driver` and open the  1st one
[06:24] <lyhana8> fede11001: If it's a fresh install I don't think so, pulse is for Ubuntu, Kubuntu use ALSA
[06:31] <fede11001> just a sec
[06:33] <fede11001> it just detected driver for the video Card
[06:33] <lyhana8> not sure, but maybe the driver for the HDa is inside
[06:33] <lyhana8> you can give it a try
[06:34] <lyhana8> otherwise check if ALSA is install
[06:36] <fede11001> how do i do that :S
[06:36] <tim_> Whats the best app for programming HTML/Javascript
[06:36] <fede11001> i am so screwed
[06:39] <lyhana8> tim_: you choose: kate, gedit, jedit, quanta+, kompozer, vim XD
[06:40] <lyhana8> fede11001: with a console : aptitude search alsa
[06:40] <lyhana8> the line beginning with `i` mean the package is install
[06:41] <fede11001> ok, i will do so
[06:41] <fede11001> i have not installed synaptic yet
[06:41] <lyhana8> also look at this line to know your card model : `lspci | grep -i audio`
[06:41] <tim_> lyhana8: which one would you say is teh best
[06:41] <lyhana8> its a command line, plus you dont need synaptic, there is kpackagekit for KDE
[06:42] <lyhana8> I got alsa-base and alsa-utils installed
[06:44] <fede11001> when i do alsamixer in the console is there
[06:44] <fede11001> yes i have just lloked at it
[06:44] <fede11001> i will try to modify
[06:44] <fede11001> the model type
[06:44] <fede11001> in order to check if there was the error
[06:45] <fede11001> really-... i dont have a clue of what i am doing
[06:45] <lyhana8> don't understand the 5 last sentences
[06:45] <fede11001> lol
[06:45] <fede11001> it seems that alsa is installed
[06:45] <lyhana8> you're discovering a whole new world :D
[06:45] <fede11001> i am reading at document that explains that the sound issue is very common with intel cards..
[06:46] <fede11001> and that i should change the model in this file
[06:46] <fede11001> etc/modprobe.d/options.conf
[06:46] <fede11001> however, this file was not created
[06:46] <lyhana8> try to restart it: sudo service alsa-mixer-save restart
[06:46] <fede11001> i hope it works
[06:46] <fede11001> ÑS
[06:46] <fede11001> ok i wil try
[06:46] <fede11001> just a sec
[06:47] <lyhana8> fede11001: you can ask help on #ubuntu and #alsa (if this one exists)
[06:47] <lyhana8> I've to restart
[06:48] <sokeman> anyone from townsville
[06:48] <sokeman> anyone from townsville???
[06:49] <fede11001> fede@afrika:~$ sudo service alsa-mixer-save restart

[06:53] <alonea> hey, what is a good program for doing video chat? Like with aim or something?
[06:53] <noaXess> if i run digiKam i get a error message but just with a title: Nepomuk Data Storage.. any idea?
[06:54] <noaXess> and on login i get also a error message.. i can't remember.. full in work.. but also anything with nepomuk, that some package must be installed to use it..
[06:54] <well_laid_lawn> !kopete | alonea
[06:55] <noaXess> well_laid_lawn: use pidgin.. cause it supports also IRC in kde4
[06:55] <alonea> Pidgin doesn't support video, bu
[06:55] <noaXess> alonea: ok.. hm..
[06:55] <alonea> I was just at their website
[06:55] <alonea> and they said they dont
[06:55] <noaXess> alonea: video for what protocoll?
[06:55] <noaXess> i just use video in skype..
[06:55] <alonea> aim or msn is what I am looking for. Aim preferably
[06:57] <alonea> does Kopete work with Ubuntu Remix? or do I need KDE for that?
[06:58] <noaXess> alonea: hm.. i think some kde packages will also be installed if you install kopete on ubuntu
[06:58] <noaXess> so try apt-cache depends kopete, so you see what packages it need
[06:58] <alonea> noaXess: and does Kopete support video with most of the basic protocols?
[06:59] <noaXess> alonea: i don't know.. cause i used kopete not long time in kde4..
[06:59] <noaXess> kopete.kde.org
[06:59] <alonea> looking in their documentation, haven't seen anything about video yet
[06:59] <lyhana8> fede11001: any progress ?
[06:59] <fede11001> nope
[07:00] <fede11001> y tirde to force de alsa reload
[07:00] <fede11001> and the driver is still not working
[07:00] <alonea> looks like MSN and yahoo. that will work I think
[07:00] <fede11001> i mean should happen to someone else before
[07:00] <fede11001> :S
[07:00] <fede11001> it weird to dont find an answr
[07:01] <fede11001> when i did  sudo alsa force-reload
[07:01] <fede11001> the speaker in the tray disappeared
[07:01] <lyhana8> you can try to install pulse maybe
[07:01] <fede11001> ok...
[07:02] <fede11001> do i need to de-install alsa before doing that
[07:02] <fede11001> how do i get synaptic
[07:02] <fede11001> by console?
[07:02] <alonea> hopefully its not a hassle to set up the webcam for it. kinda sucky that something like this doesn't have great support, but can't blame Linux guys too much...not like the companies help
[07:05] <fede11001> got synaptic
[07:05] <lyhana8> fede11001: use `kpackagekit`
[07:06] <lyhana8> sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-base
[07:06] <fede11001> ok in kpackagekit
[07:06] <fede11001> i search fo rpulse and there are a lot of options
[07:06] <fede11001> which one should i select
[07:06] <fede11001> pulse library?
[07:07] <lyhana8> read the description: pulseaudio
[07:07] <fede11001> all of them?
[07:11] <fede11001> lyhana8 should i install all pulses packages???
[07:13] <lyhana8> fede11001: the one call `pulseaudio` and pulseaudio-utils
[07:16] <zus> hello

[09:21] <well_laid_lawn> oops
[09:21] <well_laid_lawn> !sensors | oxymoron "might" include wattage
[09:22] <DarkriftX> lol
[09:26] <oxymoron> well_laid_lawn: Thanks :)
[09:27] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[09:28] <oxymoron> well_laid_lawn: Its already installed, how do I use the till?
[09:28] <well_laid_lawn> oxymoron: I've never used lm_sensors sorry
[09:28] <oxymoron> I only get voltage
[09:29] <oxymoron> P = U * I and I want to know P, but only got U?
[09:30] <oxymoron> I got this lm-sensors
[09:30] <well_laid_lawn> is I time?
[09:30] <oxymoron> Sorry: http://pastebin.com/U99N5Tki
[09:30] <oxymoron> well_laid_lawn: No I is ampere
[09:31] <oxymoron> Is my values good btw?
[09:32] <oxymoron> I want to know if and how many more compontents my power supply will be able to handle ... I only got 4 modular SATA power supplies with Corsair 520 W and I got 6 disks
[09:34] <oxymoron> And while I am still in good mood, if I should backup huge amounts of data into a external drive, whats the best backup app/script deal? I want to store incremental backups every week and then rewrite over every new week day by day.
[09:35] <oxymoron> I want to backup several partitions on one drive.
[09:36] <FireCrotch> Ok, this is a weird issue... Any time that I get an IM in pidgin when the IM window is not focused, my entire screen flashes
[09:36] <well_laid_lawn> !rsync | oxymoron
[09:36] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Entire screen? :O
[09:37] <oxymoron> well_laid_lawn: How to script rsync, I have been trying to do it but I dont understand how you do.
[09:37] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: entire screen. It's related to plasma notifications, since it just happened when you highlighted me, too
[09:37] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Thats odd, have you tried another IM client?
[09:38] <FireCrotch> oxymoron:  I doubt its client related, since I use quassel for IRC
[09:38] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: COuld be desktop effects, knotify, new QT (If youre using 4.7) or anything.
[09:38] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Btw, I could recommend Konversation, you WILL dump Quassel for that one thats a promise.
[09:38] <FireCrotch> Konversation doesn'
[09:39] <FireCrotch> t have a server component that lets me connect to it from any computer running the proper client though
[09:39] <FireCrotch> :)
[09:40] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Why do you need that anyway? :S
[09:41] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: because I use both my laptop and my desktop, and I like to stay connected at all times, and use a GUI client
[09:41] <FireCrotch> so no irssi+screen (irssi sucks)
[09:43] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Isnt it possible to connect to it from both computers then?
[09:45] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: huh?
[09:45] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Connect to IRC from both laptop and desktop?
[09:46] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: using different nicks, sure
[09:46] <FireCrotch> But what about the stuff that I would miss when neither computer is on?
[09:47] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Not much happening on IRC anyway :P
[09:48] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: maybe not on this channel :)
[09:49] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: Haha no, but not many other channels either, or what ones are you talkling about?
[09:50] <FireCrotch> oxymoron: #ubuntu, #ubuntu-offtopic, ##club-ubuntu, some channels on a server that I run
[09:52] <oxymoron> FireCrotch: I guess I ask for more help on those channels, #kubuntu isnt really active
[10:14] <noaXess> hello again
[10:17] <AlexLuya_> Hello,how to make ibus support google chrome?
[10:18] <noaXess> i get this error, if i login int my kde session: http://imagebin.ca/view/TQGPHs9N.html
[10:18] <noaXess> what package do i need to install?
[10:23] <simeon> hello
[10:24] <simeon> I'm having a problem and can't find a sollution in Google/Ubuntu forums
[10:26] <amichair> simeon: you can try asking here, and if someone will have ideas, they'll reply
[10:26] <simeon> I'm using a USB DAC, it's set as default sound device for everything, it works fine in Amarok/Dragon player but no sound in brosers...
[10:26] <simeon> and i don't think it's connected to the alsa problem everybody have
[10:28] <simeon> it works just fine when i set the internal sound card as default - everything works
[10:29] <simeon> and no problem under Ubuntu/Gnome - works fine
[10:30] <amichair> simeon: in system settings -> multimedia, are all relevant options set to your device (e.g. video)?
[10:30] <simeon> yes
[10:31] <simeon> i found only one thread in ubuntuforums from somebody else about the same problem and no replies
[10:32] <amichair> simeon: I think yesterday someone here had similar symptoms (sound in amarok but not in browser), but I wasn't around to hear if they found a solution - maybe in the irc logs
[10:33] <amichair> sorry I don't know enough about the sound systems myself :-)
[10:33] <simeon> mhm, thanks, may be lately I'll check them
[10:34] <simeon> The system reads the USB DAC as: "Burr-Brown from TI"
[10:34] <simeon> if it can help
[11:33] <supermagnum> hi, i have a CF-29 laptop that stops responding under install from a USB drive
[11:33] <supermagnum> it goes to the point that the "kubuntu" screen comes up, but then the scrren goes black and it halts.
[11:34] <supermagnum> it does not respon on caps lock or numlock
[11:35] <supermagnum> the light on the usb drive glows, and i have runned a test to check if there is any orrors on the USB drive
[11:35] <supermagnum> errors*
[11:35] <supermagnum> i am trying to install 9.10
[11:35] <well_laid_lawn> it's either a bad cd burn or the graphics are playing nice - did you do the cd check?
[11:35] <well_laid_lawn> s/are/aren't
[11:36] <supermagnum> yes, and that came out ok
[11:41] <supermagnum> any ideas ?
[11:41] <supermagnum> perhaps it is possible to use a installer that does not use graphics ?
[11:43] <amichair> supermagnum: is the problem when booting up from usb, or from the HDD after the installer ran? Also, did you try 10.04?
[11:44] <supermagnum> it did boot windows earlier to day, but i will try to see if it boots windows now
[11:45] <supermagnum> i havent tried 10.04
[11:45] <supermagnum> it boots windows ok
[11:46] <amichair> supermagnum: what I meant is, does the freeze occure before running the installer or after running the installer (when it asks you to restart)?
[11:46] <supermagnum> it freexes during install
[11:47] <supermagnum> i get to the language selsection, but thats it
[11:47] <amichair> supermagnum: ok, so basically the problem is that the livecd doesn't start, regardless of installer, if I understand correctly
[11:48] <supermagnum> yes
[11:48] <supermagnum> i have the "live cd" on a usb disk
[11:51] <amichair> probably worth trying 10.04, in any case. Maybe some related issue was fixed.
[11:52] <well_laid_lawn> or try the alternate cd
[11:52] <well_laid_lawn> !alternate
[11:53] <supermagnum> ok, i will try that
[11:55] <supermagnum> i can find the hardware specs on it
[11:58] <well_laid_lawn> supermagnum: keep it in the channel pls - i don't know everything :]
[11:59] <supermagnum>  	 Intel 915GMS chipset
[11:59] <supermagnum> the specs are here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190390372296&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[12:09] <supermagnum> so, there is no problems with the minimum specs related to the hardware
[12:15] <well_laid_lawn> it is way better then the min required supermagnum
[12:15] <supermagnum> i know
[12:16] <amichair> supermagnum: maybe u need one of those boot options that disable acpi or modsetting or those things? (sorry, I'm not familiar with the details, but I hear it recommended often in similar no-boot cases)
[12:17] <supermagnum> i can take a look at the boot menu
[12:17] <amichair> supermagnum: it's stuff u have to add manually to the boot commands
[12:19] <kleopatra> hi guys, i have  a little problem, by pressing Ctrl+F11 some strange workbench-choosing program starts, how can i deactivate this?
[12:19] <amichair> supermagnum: maybe this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[12:20] <supermagnum> it does not appear that anyting are wrong there
[12:20] <amichair> kleopatra: maybe in system settings -> desktop -> effects configurations
[12:23] <kleopatra> i dont know the name of the "feature"  i cant find it =(
[12:25] <kleopatra> there is crtl+f1 /f2  but nothing for ctrl+f11, isnt there some confuguration file?
[12:28] <supermagnum> no luck with apci off.
[12:30] <amichair> kleopatra: crtl+f11 is the default for the desktop cube effect, you can click the configuration button (wrench) to change the keys or disable them
[12:32] <kleopatra> amichair:  sry, for the fact i am german i couldnt follow, ctrl+f11 doesnt rly start a cube but maybe its that effect, where can i find the settings for it? is it in systemsettings?
[12:33] <amichair> kleopatra: System Settings -> Desktop -> Desktop Effects -> All Effects -> Desktop Cube -> click the configuration icon that looks like a wrench on that line
[12:34] <anirudh> i have 2 nic adapters on my computer. of which only eth0 works and eth1 doesnt. i have given no preferences to  either in manage connections. i need my eth1 to start working. eth0 is connected to a modem and eth1 needs to be connected to a router
[12:34] <amichair> kleopatra: (or just uncheck the checkbox next to Desktop Cube to disable it entirely)
[12:41] <amichair> kleopatra: does that help?
[12:43] <supermagnum> shit! same story with 10.04
[12:44] <supermagnum> the installer hangs.. :(
[12:50] <n8w> hey
[12:52] <n8w> iver reinstalled my system but rewritten folders etc,var with those from my backup...since then i cant start up the xserver
[12:53] <n8w> the problem is a missin nvidia driver bein referenced to in the config
[12:53] <n8w> anythin i can do?
[12:53] <n8w> can i somehow reset the xserver back to default?
[12:54] <Torch> n8w: remove or move away /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:55] <n8w> Torch: ok...what about this. sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[12:57] <Torch> n8w: what abou it?
[13:05] <appleseed> one of my hdd's went into DISK SLEEP and now all associated programs are frozen. I've terminated the mount.ntfs for the disk, but whenever I run mount or fdisk then the terminal freezes before showing the asleep disk. Is there a way to uncouple the associated programs so that I could save my work (Kate) on another disk?
[13:06] <Torch> appleseed: no. the kernel waits on behalf of the apps for the disk. the apps can't do anything.
[13:07] <appleseed> Torch: so I'm basically screwed?
[13:08] <Torch> appleseed: from what you've told us, i'd say yes, you are.
[13:08] <Torch> appleseed: unless the disk wakes up
[13:08] <appleseed> Torch: I'll go make some really strong coffee... thx
[13:42] <kleopatra> amichair: sry my girlfriend just arrived, your advice helped thx, now i can use eclipse again =)
[14:01] <sheldon__cooper> hi folk...what is the status of kde 4.4.80 packaging?
[14:16] <zus> hi
[14:20] <boby> when we can expect kubuntu 10.04.1
[14:20] <JontheEchidna> in two months, iirc
[14:21] <mmaher> go kubuntu
[14:24] <zus> what is 10.4.1?
[14:24] <sheldon__cooper> zus: boh!
[14:25] <jordi_> HI EVERYBODY
[14:26] <zus> sheldon__cooper,  hi there.
[14:26] <JontheEchidna> zus: A new CD image with all the post-release updates will be made available as 10.04.1
[14:27] <JontheEchidna> It's mainly a convenience for people, so that they don't have tons of updates after they install 10.04
[14:27] <zus> JontheEchidna,  thanks, because this is a fresh update,....
[14:30] <felippe> hi
[14:41] <zus> join #vbox
[14:42] <zus> heh.
[14:47] <n8w> what folder do printer settings reside?
[14:47] <n8w> etc?
[14:57] <darryl> hi i just installed kubuntu and in the menu it says firefox installer, i click on it and it says packages already installed, but i can't launch firefox
[14:58] <darryl> do i have to use apt-get to install firefox?
[14:59] <DarthFrog> darryl: Can you run firefox from the command line?  What happens when you try?
[14:59] <darryl> says its not installed to use apt get to install it
[14:59] <darryl> guess that anwsers my question
[14:59] <DarthFrog> :-)
[14:59] <darryl> thought firefox would come pre-installed though
[14:59] <DarthFrog> Not in Kubuntu.
[15:00] <DarthFrog> Do you need help in using apt-get?
[15:00] <darryl> i got one more question and this is a problem i had in ubuntu as well
[15:00] <darryl> i have a onboard wireless card in my laptop but i'm in a concrete building so i use a external one that goes outside my window
[15:00] <darryl> but if i have the wireless switch turned off on my laptop it won't let me use my external one
[15:01] <DarthFrog> So don't turn it off?
[15:02] <darryl> can i disable the onboard wireless card and leave the switch on?
[15:02] <DarthFrog> Use knetworkmanager and configure only the one you want to use.
[15:02] <DarthFrog> No need to disable the onboard nic.
[15:07] <zus> some how i dont have PgP or is it GpG installed by default, which is the lock icon in my panel
[15:08] <zus> its not in my menu either
[15:09] <DarthFrog> zus: Are you sure?  What happens when you type "gpg" at the command line?
[15:09] <Torch> zus: that's because the icons come from the oxygen pacakge (most likely, it can be another icon pacakge, of course)
[15:11] <zus> deathfrog ok the .gnupg was created...
[15:11] <DarthFrog> zus: It's installed. :-)
[15:12] <zus> oh then the gui part of it....was what i think i was looking for
[15:13] <zus> Torch,  i dont think i have the front end installed to have the lock icon,
[15:13] <DarthFrog> There's a kgpg package.
[15:14] <zus> how do i exit gpg in the terminal then?
[15:14] <DarthFrog> CTL-C
[15:14] <zus> thanks
[15:16] <hrw> hi
[15:16] <hrw> someone know how to pair BT headset under kubuntu? kbluetooth is able to pair only input devices
[15:16] <zus> i hate when the packetkit ask for authentication but opens the box minimized ...
[15:20] <zus> thanks DarthFrog  and Torch . that sorted that right out.
[15:21] <zus> had a hdd failure i have to reinstall everything from scratch...
[15:21] <DarthFrog> Not fun.
[15:23] <zus> what i've lost i can download/torrent back (some) problem is its been everything since i began using ubuntu since the tail end of 9.04
[15:23] <DarthFrog> zus: good thing you have a backup, right?
[15:24] <zus> thats what failed
[15:28] <zus> whats the command line to make a back up of a file in the same folder?
[15:29] <DarthFrog> cp -a <filename> <filename.bak>
[15:29] <zus> thank you very much
[15:30] <DarthFrog> There's nothing special about the .bak extension, BTW.  It's merely a convention for convenience; it means nothing whatsoever to the system.
[15:33] <zus> but if i make a change to the original file and something does go wrong ?....
[15:33] <DarthFrog> :-)
[15:33] <zus> hehe im like a bull in a china shop...
[15:34] <DarthFrog> But that's not the backup that's meant.  It's on the same hard drive.
[15:34] <DarthFrog> Still, it's a good idea.
[15:36] <DarthFrog> If you had a full system backup, or at least your home directory backed up, onto a separate hard drive|DVD|tape, you could recover from a disk failure without data loss.
[15:36] <zus> i've only internal drives no externals... so i used the biggest one i had as a storage
[15:38] <DarthFrog> I have a D-Link DNS-323 little NAS box, has 1.25 TB of disk space.  I run a backup using rsync via a cron job overnight from my and my wife's machines to the DNS-323.
[15:39] <DarthFrog> It also has a USB print server which makes printing available over the LAN, quite convenient.
[15:39] <zus> i have to get an external one day i will...now i will have to use the 80gig internal as a storage
[15:40] <DarthFrog> No problem using a  second internal drive for backup.  Unless the box is stolen. :-)
[15:40] <Torch> ... or the house is on fire ...
[15:42] <zus> good points
[15:43] <DarthFrog> Torch: If the house is on fire, it doesn't matter whether the backup is internal or external.  Unless he grabs the external disk on his way out of the burning building.  Somehow, I doubt that would be a priority.  :-)
[15:43] <Torch> DarthFrog: at least i always imagine i'm going to do that in that case... that's why i have it external ;-)
[15:44] <DarthFrog> Man is not a rational animal, man is a rationalizing animal. :-)
[15:45] <zus> you'd be surprised what man does under pressure, sometimes its not so clever things
[15:46] <oxymoron> Wow I had to go to "~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences" to change default download folder, thats quite funny :D
[15:47] <zus> oh, can i use one broswer with a proxy or will that change my entire network?
[15:47] <oxymoron> Nvm, lol Google have hidden it well in settings :D
[15:47] <oxymoron> zus: Why would you use proxy at all ?
[15:48] <zus> i tried to go to British site and i couldn't view some contents because it wasnt for my area
[15:49] <oxymoron> zus: Probably a reason for that?
[15:52] <zus> ithis is odd, firefox is taking a long time to do anything..
[15:53] <maco> zus: yes, you can set proxy settings in browser
[15:54] <oxymoron> Thats why you use Chrome ;)
[15:55] <georgetf> is anybody here that can help me with kde?
[15:55] <georgetf> pls pm me
[15:55] <zus> http://www.e4.com/ thats the site i wanted t watch a tv show on.  not certain its British but i wasnt able to veiw  the videos
[15:56] <zus> the show certainly was, the it crowd.
[15:58] <zus> anyways thanks then for the help, ill be back in a few.
[16:02] <oxymoron> How do I crypt a partition without need to format it? :S
[16:09] <wizkoder> Is the bot down. Or why does it not respond?
[16:10] <DarthFrog> !kde
[16:10] <DarthFrog> Botty's fine.

[16:20] <faLUCE> hi. is it possible to associate different desktops to different monitors on the same pc ?
[16:21] <oxymoron> faLUCE: Wow, cool idea :P I have no idea if it works, but on *buntu/Linux it should if its possible.
[16:22] <adilalpman> cany anybody help me :(
[16:22] <adilalpman> cant?
[16:23] <faLUCE> oxymoron: ?
[16:24] <oxymoron> faLUCE: Oh sorry I meant, if it should work on any PC it owuld be on a PC with Linux
[16:25] <oxymoron> faLUCE: If you havent tried it, try Compiz
[16:28] <brujoh> Hey all, any tips on getting java working in firefox? it is lucid 32 bit os
[16:28] <brujoh> I have installed the packages I think and tried linking to everything I could find, no luck
[16:42] <claude23> Anyone know how to run KUBUNTU with qemu?
[16:43] <amichair> brujoh: try enablingo the partner repositories, and installing sun-java6-plugin
[16:44] <claude23> !qemu
[16:45] <amichair> claude23: I use virtualbox, which is extremely simple and friendly, if you want to give it a try :-)
[16:45] <claude23> amichair: it is free right?
[16:46] <Rokixz> qemu is old thing, you may use Virtualbox, it's free, simple and whatever :D
[16:46] <amichair> claude23: the OSE version is free in all senses, and there's another version that's free as in beer. I use OSE and never missed anything (they are almost identical). it's in the repos.
[16:47] <claude23> amichair: yes but I kind of want to run it off of a CD-ROM
[16:47] <amichair> claude23: from a livecd?
[16:47] <adilalpman> pls somebody help mee... :'(
[16:48] <uberamd> with?
[16:48] <claude23> Live CD.. well I want to run the boot CD within windows
[16:48] <adilalpman> i use creative SB-5.1-VX souncard and my lspci output is on http://pastebin.com/7K3W6gSL  and my system has just updated with synaptic but when i start and login to my system and when i logout i just hear a noise... any sound... :( can anybody help me? :S
[16:48] <adilalpman> uberamd
[16:48] <amichair> say, does anyone know if there are additional desktop effects to be added to system settings from somewhere? e.g. the fire effect for closing windows?
[16:49] <amichair> claude23: u want a vm with the host being windows and the guest being kubuntu?
[16:50] <claude23> amichair: yeppers
[16:50] <amichair> amichair: oh. so just install virtualbox on windows from their website :-)
[16:50] <amichair> woops, talking to myself
[16:50] <amichair> claude23: ^^
[16:51] <claude23> amichair: yes but is there a way to do it with qemu?
[16:51] <amichair> claude23: and load up the kubuntu iso image into the vm, and install it in the vm. then in kubuntu install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils to get full integration
[16:52] <amichair> claude23: dunno, I only tried using it once a couple years ago, then quickly moved on to vbox and never looked back
[16:52] <claude23> Okay.. Does anyone here use qemu?
[16:53] <brujoh> when I try to instal sun-java6-jre it gives me an error "The packages have unresolvable dependencies.l
[16:54] <amichair> brujoh: hmmm.... are all the repos enabled (including partner)? and sudo apt-get updated?
[16:54] <claude23> well?
[16:54] <amichair> claude23: from what I remember though, it's just some command line argument to mount the cd iso image, and everything works from there
[16:55] <claude23> amichair: Yes well I can do it with ubuntu..
[16:58] <brujoh> amichair: I enabled partners and what do you know.... there are java packages. :)
[17:00] <amichair> brujoh: yeah, I came across that, and several people have asked about it here... dunno why it moved to a separate and disabled by default repo. probably licensing stuff.
[17:00] <amichair> hmmm.. !java
[17:01] <amichair> we should teach ubottu about it
[17:01] <amichair> !java
[17:03] <amichair> anyone know how to change that?
[17:07] <LjL> amichair: /msg ubottu !no, java is <reply> new answer
[17:12] <marek_> hello!
[17:34] <chris____> hallo
[17:51] <kwtm> Hi!  Does Kubuntu Lucid use Phonon from KDE4, or the standard PulseAudio that comes with Ubuntu Lucid (GNOME)?  (At least, I *think* it comes with PulseAudio.)
[17:55] <amichair> kwtm: I think kubuntu doesn't come with PA by default (Ubuntu does)
[17:56] <kwtm> amichair: That's what I thought.  My family's Ubuntu has sound problems, but I can't use my Kubuntu experience to help them since they are different systems.  They haven't phased out PulseAudio (in Ubuntu) yet, right?  It seems that aRTs > ALSA > OSS > PulseAudio seems the fad-of-the-day system

[18:57] <regen> hello everyone! Could any of you tell me what would cause 'ln existing_file new_link_file' to give "operation not prmitted" -- all directories exist, file exists and I've tried using 'sudo' to ensure it's not permissions...
[19:01] <djustice> regen: new_link_file is in a place that has no write permissions..
[19:02] <djustice> regen: sudo misuse maybe.. 'sudo su' then 'ln -s meh_file meh_link'

[19:30] <matyd> Is hdmi sound not supported in kubuntu 10.04? I can get video to work using vlc or dragon player, but have to play the movie sound using amarok or something similar...
[19:31] <matyd> i've tried googling this problem but haven't had any luck
[19:44] <soee> are there any repos with kde 4.5b1 for kubuntu ?
[19:50] <sebastian_>  Hey guys, anyone knows a media player that has gpu acceleration?  XBMC and smplayer are still lagging for me, tried most and Enna media center works great but cant get it to fullscreen
[19:51] <ZachK_> sebastian_: Try VLC?
[19:51] <sebastian_> its not supported yet, should be shipped in next version
[19:52] <ZachK_> sebastian_: Ok...hmmm
[19:53] <ZachK_> sebastian_: Well you could just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and watch your movies there
[19:54] <sebastian_> ive googled forevor but didnt manage to find one that has full support of gpu acceleration, except enna media center and XBMC but XBMC isnt working, and Enna dont seem to support fullscreen mode
[19:54] <sebastian_> i still need a player that has full gpu acceleration xD

[20:22] <prower> hello :> i'm noticing that in 10.04 (64-bit) it takes a very long time for qt-creator to start...it sits there at high cpu usage for about a minute and then launches as normal :/ has anyone else seen this?
[20:23] <inviso> prower: I'm seeing massive performance issues with all KDE apps after an upgrade to 10.04 yesterday.  Perhaps Qt apps are seeing the same thing
[20:24] <prower> inviso: hmm, that's not good to hear :/ could have been causing my issue with konsole as well, i wonder if it's a known issue
[20:25] <inviso> Try launching Konqueror, loading a web page and then using your mouse scroll wheel. Does Xorg peg the CPU?
[20:26] <prower> inviso: at the moment i don't have konqueror installed, i'm on my laptop, the kde system is my work machine :> i figured i'd see if i could get it resolved before i have to use it again tomorrow, ha
[20:26] <prower> i'll have to test that out though
[20:27] <inviso> ah, fair enough.  I haven't found much else on it yet, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481017&highlight=KDE+4.4 describes a similiar problem (exactly what I'm seeing)
[20:28] <zus> one thing i hate about kde is the stupid 4 desktops with different activities. why is the default box 2 so when i work in box one and i get a notification,...its on box 2 i assume. i hear them but dont see em. pidgin is going nuts here today! meh!
[20:29] <inviso> zus: I believe if you "close" the main pidgin window, the messages will pop up in the notification section in the taskbar on any desktop you happen to be on
[20:30] <zus> there goes pidgin,... nope heheh
[20:31] <n8w> hey
[20:32] <inviso> zus: Bummer. The other thing you might try is sending the pidgin window to all desktops.  Right click on the program in the taskbar -> To Desktop -> All Desktops.
[20:32] <n8w> how do i setup that my ntfs partitions will be mounted automaticly without having to insert a password?
[20:33] <inviso> n8w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[20:34] <delight> anybody here got virtualbox on a mac installed ?
[20:34] <n8w> inviso:  ye i think thats it...:)i just cant remeber what i did on my old 9.10...
[20:35] <zus> inviso,  the otehr thing is when i use the activities it misaligns the desktops i have to shut it off an set it back again...the one thing i dislike about kde i think it could be better
[20:35] <delight> lol wrong chan ... sorry
[20:36] <inviso> zus: What do you mean by "use the activities"?
[20:37] <zus> inviso,  on the upper right top click that and chose zoom out
[20:38] <inviso> zus: haha, what the heck is the purpose behind zoom out?
[20:39] <prower> well, apparently the qt creator issue has been known about upstream since march :/ i'm guessing that one's going to be around for a while
[20:39] <inviso> prower: May be entirely unrelated to my problems then. Mind linking what you found?
[20:39] <zus> inviso,  each desktop has the potential to be 5 different desktops
[20:40] <inviso> zus: Yeah, but why not just use 5 different desktops?
[20:40] <prower> inviso: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel
[20:40] <inviso> prower: ty
[20:40] <prower> not a problem ^^
[20:41] <zus> inviso,  yep and each desktop  is its own little activities...i dont use cuz i dont like it,,,,
[20:41] <prower> as an aside, there was another problem i was experiencing, this one related to konsole...every now and then _that_ would take a long time to start too, and when it did i'd get an error message along the lines of: "cannot start /bin/bash with arguments /bin/bash"
[20:42] <zus> i cant install addon  in frefox 3.6.3
[20:44] <user_> prower, just a suggestion - you could try using mrxvt : blazing fast, infinitely customizable and all settings are stored in .mrxvtrc ( you could find a couple on the net)
[20:45] <Micah> is it possible to get wine to run a program that was installed under windows?
[20:45] <prower> user_: Well that's always an option as well, true, I might check it out :> I was more wondering if anyone else had seen it pop up, seems like i've had a lot of issues with 10.04 unfortunately :< at least the kubuntu version of it
[20:46] <Micah> prower:  don't say that, i just spent the past 3 hours setting up a live usb for it ;_;
[20:47] <slow-motion> hi
[20:48] <prower> Micah: Well, you may have more luck than I do, no one seems to have seen the same problem with konsole yet that I have :>
[20:48] <Micah> what problem might i ask?
[20:49] <alex____> Anyone has successfuly loaded Snow Leopard using grub2?
[20:53] <n8w> what file does keep printers settings?
[20:55] <n8w> or how can i restore printers settings on my new system(ive got backup of etc,var,home)
[21:01] <alex____> for printers, check /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[21:05] <BluesKaj-L> howdy
[21:06] <zus> ok whats the cli to comepletely REMOVE all of firefox 3.6.3. please
[21:09] <n8w> ive got a problem...ive reinstalled my comp and restored var and home folder...but kpackagekit sees installed packages which no longer exist
[21:10] <n8w> can i anyhow reinstall all packages that r marked as installed?
[21:18] <markus_> n8w: Why do these packages no longer exists?
[21:19] <n8w> markus_:  they r bein marked as installed but i cant run any of them
[21:20] <markus_> n8w: maybe go into /var/cache/apt/archives and say "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[21:22] <buckethead> Anybody working with an ASUS 1005?
[21:24] <prower> Micah: Sorry about that, the problem I was having was that occasionally on starting up console, i'd get an error message something along the lines of "couldn't start /bin/bash with arguments /bin/bash," seemingly at random...you'd have to re-open another terminal when you saw it, annoying

[21:29] <Bucky> hi. got an issue with akonadi and kontact. you can see the log at http://pastebin.ca/1873055

[21:35] <Torch> Bucky, markus_: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=86053
[21:38] <markus_> Torch: Thanks. That fixed my problem. Just started kadressbook as standalone and now the error is gone.
[21:39] <FisherPrice70> Hi, I'm having issues with my Desktop Effects. I have an NVIDIA card and am having the same sort of difficulties as this dude http://forums.opensuse.org/get-help-here/pre-release-beta/405572-lost-desktop-effects.html
[21:39] <FisherPrice70> I've re-installed my NVIDIA drivers but it didn't help
[21:41] <markus_> How do I search for files that have been indexed with strigi?
[21:41] <FisherPrice70> markus_: using dolphin
[21:42] <FisherPrice70> there's a search toolbar
[21:42] <Torch> (and if there isn't it can be added)
[21:42] <markus_> FisherPrice70: Thanks. This instantly worked!
[21:43] <oxymoron>  Is it possible todo something like this? "sudo rm -r /home/oxymoron/projects/*/.svn" - I ONLY want to remove .svn directories recursively, nothing else.
[21:43] <Torch> oxymoron: yes, with find
[21:43] <oxymoron> Torch: How?
[21:44] <Torch> oxymoron: find -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
[21:44] <Torch> oxymoron: be careful with that. one typo and your home dir is gone ;-)
[21:44] <oxymoron> Torch: Alright, how do I apply it to one specific foldder?
[21:45] <Torch> oxymoron: run it from the top folder where you want the .svn subdirs removed
[21:45] <Torch> oxymoron: also, read the manpage for find
[21:45] <oxymoron> Torch: alright, so cd /home/oxymoron/projects I guess
[21:45] <Torch> oxymoron: could be in your case, yes
[21:46] <oxymoron> Torch: Sweet, that helped in one sec. Thank you so much so i didnt have to manually remove them, it was a lot :D
[21:47] <Torch> oxymoron: stuff like this always works best from the shell. it's just a matter of knowing _how_
[21:47] <oxymoron> Torch: Now I just have to try making GIT work in Kdevelop ... Btw, why isnt Kdevelop supported?
[21:47] <Torch> oxymoron: supported by what?
[21:47] <oxymoron> Torch: Yes, thats why I asked here ;)
[21:48] <oxymoron> Torch: Sorry, I meant its not in public repos of Kubuntu, you have to check unsupported updates
[21:48] <Torch> oxymoron: my guess is because it was nearly 1.0 final when kubuntu was frozen
[21:49] <oxymoron> Torch: Alright :/ Well no problem really, but would be nice having it in the regular section later on.
[21:49] <Torch> oxymoron: and shipping a version that would be outdated when lucid would be released seemd probably stupid, so they left it out
[21:49] <Torch> oxymoron: what difference does it make where you get it from?
[21:49] <oxymoron> Torch: I got this strange message when trying to archive or update files in Kdevelop (A playground plugin for GIT, so I am not expect it to work flawless) http://imagebin.ca/view/TK4EHnJ.html
[21:50] <oxymoron> Torch: Well its harder for people to find if its in unsupported
[21:50] <Torch> oxymoron: yes, but people who need kdevelop should at least have an idea of what repos are.
[21:51] <Torch> oxymoron: can't help you with the error message, i don't use git in kdevelop.
[21:51] <Torch> (i don't use svn in kdevelop either, command line works best for that kind of stuff for me)
[21:51] <oxymoron> Torch: Yes true :P Well I dont expect you to help, I just wonder if you maybe could know what it COULD be.
[21:51] <Torch> oxymoron: a bug in the plugin? talk to its author.
[21:51] <oxymoron> Torch: Command line works yesbut its faster directly in the IDE ;)
[21:52] <Torch> oxymoron: committing stuff isn't supposed to be fast. quite the contrary.
[21:52] <oxymoron> Torch: For me it seems like a permission problem.
[21:52] <oxymoron> I just want a clean simple local project for my framework, nothign extremely fancy and slow.

[21:55] <gabrielhojman> Hi! I'm a new ubuntu user!
[21:55] <n8w> markus_:  ok im tyrin it now...smth is goin on:)) i guess thats a good sign;)
[21:56] <markus_> oxymoron: Where did you download it from? Would like to try if the php part is good enough to replace eclipse
[21:56] <stanowisko1> so....a lot of people and what about they're talkin
[21:56] <gabrielhojman> Does ubuntu come with objective-c compilers already installed?
[21:56] <oxymoron> markus_: From ubuntu repository :P

[21:57] <stanowisko1> and what it is?
[21:57] <oxymoron> markus_: It kicks ass of every other IDE I have tried and then I have tried most editors available on both Windows and Linux.
[21:58] <oxymoron> markus_: Version handling is a little bit unstable though, but you maybe dont need it?
[21:58] <stanowisko1> what is IDE?
[21:58] <markus_> oxymoron: Not for php ;)
[21:58] <n8w> damn i wish ive never upgraded my old 9.10
[21:58] <markus_> stanowisko1: An environment for software development
[21:59] <markus_> n8w: Why? For me the new version kicks ass ;)
[22:00] <n8w> markus_:  hmm not for me:)))
[22:00] <inviso> 10.04 is messing with me as well :(
[22:00] <n8w> inviso:  ye...
[22:00] <n8w> its slow
[22:00] <n8w> n weird
[22:00] <oxymoron> markus_: I think you are going to like it then ;) Oh and it doesnt have support for PHP 5.3 YET, but will come soon.

[22:09] <markus_> n8w: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.4.3

[22:12] <markus_> n8w: After than your system is as good as new :)
[22:13] <oxymoron> Torch: Hmm weird, the problem is that Kdevelop change permissions to only make it writable by owner, it worked when I changed it :P
[22:13] <n8w> markus_:  :)) i hope so:)
[22:14] <ToxinPowe> markus_: there are packets for 4.5beta1?

[22:15] <ToxinPowe> ok, thx
[22:15] <markus_> Rokixz: What?
[22:18] <Rokixz> markus: no one have ellected Lithuania for final, even it was such a uplifting song... Bad..
[22:19] <markus_> Rokixz: Guess Kubuntu will win this contest :)
[22:20] <markus_> oxymoron: php 4 is enough for me. I don't use object orientation for php. Makes no sense imho
[22:22] <Rokixz> markus: of course :) This release is fantastic - no bugs (except plymouth), run fast :) I like it :) I came back to Kubuntu from Archlinux that I were using it for 3 or more years :)
[22:22] <pulaski> Hi. I've recently purchased an external hard drive and connected it to my box running Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I keep all my data on a drive separate for that on which the OS resides. Does anyone know of an application on Karmic that will enable me to back up different drives on my box to the external drive so I can avoid writing a script to do it?
[22:22] <inviso> markus_: That post implies that 4.4.3 is available, but I'm not seeing any updates to 4.4.3 and I'm on 4.4.2 currently.  Any thoughts?
[22:23] <Rokixz> inviso: try to add kubuntu ppa
[22:23] <n8w> markus_:  kpackage gives me this: The version 4:4.4.3a-0ubuntu1~ppa1 of kdelibs5-data isn't an update to the current 4:4.4.3a-0ubuntu1~ppa1
[22:23] <wupoma> Please, help me. Trying to connect by eciadsl have an error: "FATAL: module usbcore not found..." What can i dO?
[22:24] <n8w> markus_:  did u get the same?
[22:24] <Rokixz> Oh well, good night everybody ;)
[22:25] <markus_> n8w: I updated in the commandline. Meybe you try this too?
[22:25] <markus_> Rokixz: Good night :)
[22:25] <oxymoron> markus_: Depends how large your applicaitons are, if theyre not PHP4 is probably enough, but if they are I would recommend OOP
[22:26] <n8w> markus_:  do u wanna gime a hand?:)
[22:26] <markus_> n8w: In the commandline just do "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[22:27] <markus_> oxymoron: But objects make no sense. As when the user clicks something everything is lost. And I can move everything into its own files without oo
[22:30] <n8w> markus_:  http://paste-it.net/public/a191325/
[22:30] <n8w> markus_:  omg im gettin tires of this release
[22:30] <n8w> *tired
[22:31] <markus_> n8w: Did you install kubuntu-restricted-extras?
[22:31] <pulaski> On my box running kubuntu karmic koala 9.10, KPackageKit lists a variety of packages using the search term 'backup'.  I want to make backups of different drives on my box to an esternal drive. Can anyone suggest a package for this job that appears on the KPackageKit list?
[22:31] <n8w> markus_:  eee i dunno:)
[22:32] <markus_> n8w: So just do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras"
[22:32] <n8w> markus_:  hmm i get the same error
[22:33] <n8w> markus_:  im gonna reboot,b bak in a bit
[22:35] <pulaski> Does anyone have any experience using LuckyBackup? http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/
[22:37] <markus_> pulaski: No. I never do backups :)I
[22:38] <pulaski> markus_:   thanks for responding.
[22:39] <markus_> pulaski: The only backup I have I do with kdropbox. How to automate complex backup's I can't be of any help. Sorry.

[22:48] <pulaski> markus_: I'm looking at the luckybackup apackage.  It uses rsync, has a GUI and CL interfaces. It looks pretty good so I grabbed it.  I'll play around with it and perhaps this will suffice for now.
