[05:13] date [05:13] i dont use an anti virus [05:14] are there many viruses in linux? [05:14] No. [05:14] It's not that Linux is immune to viruses. But it is inherently very resistant. [05:15] nods [05:15] should i install an anti virus? [05:15] not really [05:15] The privilige separation of user from root provides powerful immunity. [05:15] i have a fresh kubuntu 10.04 installl now and tis the onmly os working on my pc atm until i edit my enu.lst [05:15] menu.lst* and fix what grub 2 messd up [05:16] An anti-virus program is not needed, if you aren't running as root and aren't "promiscuous".

[06:59] and work? [06:59] then execute in a shell what io said above [07:00] so long as u have kub on another partition or seperate drive [07:00] i have 3 other linux os'es and a winxop pro install and nothig else works now but kubuntu [07:00] so reinstall 10.04 then update/upgrade GRUB using those commands and see if it works? [07:01] they really screwed up with 10.04 how grub auto detects other os'es and what it enters into menu.lst [07:01] yup [07:01] itll update yer whole system [07:01] at least yer kubuntu system [07:01] I guess I'll give it a shot [07:01] if it works, lemme know [07:01] its worth a shot [07:01] and you think Win 7 may be okay, as in I wont have to reinstall it?

[07:04] In other words what should I manually set up to maintain the Win 7 stuff [07:05] yes choose manually setup partition [07:05] so u get one seprate from yer doze one [07:05] and if that dioesnt fixit manual;ly edit yer menu.lsty with kgrub [07:06] thats what i gotta do [07:06] hopefully i can get all my other os'es to boot then [07:07] do I need to manually select a partition for swap boot or ne thing else? [07:09] bronlar, hey man...? [07:09] i have mabey five minutes of experince with ubuntu in kde.. is that the same as kubuntu? [07:10] i cant seem to connect to my router [07:10] anybody there?

[07:34] s/anything/any/ [07:35] designed specifically for netbooks perhaps? ligther, and with proprietary drivers would be my guess [07:35] if u have a netbook use that version [07:35] a smaller gui to fit the screen [07:35] nods [07:36] proprietary wireless , video, and sound drivers i would also likewise assume [07:39] zus, bronlar, thanks :o) [07:39] * zus nods at bsanders [07:41] yw [07:46] I dunno how I feel about this whole Kubuntu thing [07:46] I dunno how I feel about KDE at all... this is the second time i'm giving it a chance though [07:47] gnome is much like winblows [07:47] kde has more functional features and is more unique and richer imho [07:47] i prefer kde [07:50] i prefer KDE but im finding out i could have installed into gnome what i use from kde,... [07:51] * bronlar nods. [07:52] i like dolphin over nautilus, i feel it does the samethings and then some...now if i can mount .iso....

First, I can't install mysql database. I'm following this howto: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting [11:59] I have clean mysql server 5.1 installation [11:59] added a password for root user [12:00] after issue: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting I get the following error: Ignoring user change to 'root' because the user was set to 'mysql' earlier on the command line [12:00] oh, after issuing: mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ -u root [12:01] but I have not changed user to mysql! [12:02] generally I can't log in to mysql server: it tells me I have no permissions even though I'm loggin in as root user :( === RiotingPacifist is now known as xbehave [12:19] Now I want to know once and for all, why doesnt Kopete save my MSN passwords if I say it should by click that checkbutton? Everytime I need to retype my Kwallet pass + password for every single account login .... And then status message never is saved until next login, why? :S [12:20] oxymoron: set your Kwallet settings to allow always, then it should only ask you once in a session [12:21] the first app that uses Kwallet will ask on session start, then you should have no more password prompts [12:21] Mamarok: Yeah I have allow always. [12:22] you can set that in the system Settings -> Advanced tab -> KDE wallet [12:22] check that you have this for all apps [12:23] Mamarok: Yeah I have [12:23] how do you use kontact address books to send emails? i don't get it. do you have to copy and paste the address each time? [12:23] oh i see, you can just click on the email and it opens up a new address...but how can i set one book as default? i have multiple books, one is an akonadi resource for google contacts [12:23] Mamarok: I have "allow always" on all my Kwallet apps. [12:24] it opens up a new email i mean [12:24] hm, then it might well be a Kopete problem, which KDE do you use? [12:24] Mamarok: The only problematic one is Kopete. [12:25] michael___: add all your adressbooks to the resources list of Akonadi, then it should not be a problem [12:25] start typing a name and it should autocomplete from the books [12:26] oxymoron: which KDE version do you use? [12:26] i don't want to copy over the entire address book to the personal one because then it won't sync with google [12:26] michael___: you don't need to, you can add more than one ressource [12:26] autocomplete isn't working because it isn't taking contacts from the akonadi resource [12:26] Mamarok: 4.4.3 I think, latest stable one [12:27] oxymoron: yes, that from the backports PPA [12:27] michael___: it should work [12:27] just make sure you have selected all the ressources [12:27] Mamarok: Oh I have 4.4.2 I saw now. [12:28] oxymoron: try upgrading, the 4.4.3 is in the backports PPA, see alsso http://kubuntu.org [12:28] -s [12:28] I'm not sure I get it. I have two address books, one is the default Personal Contacts (which is empty) and another is the akonadi_googledata_resource_0 that's suppose to sync with my google contacts. When I create a new mail message and start entering addresses or names in the TO field, none of my contacts from the akonadi resource come up. [12:29] michael___: are those selected in the Kadressbook part of Kontact? [12:29] Mamarok: Yes [12:29] hm, let me try... [12:30] Mamarok: "Users of 10.04 LTS can install it from the Kubuntu Updates PPA." ... hmm not me appararently and I use 10.04 [12:30] oxymoron: because you don't have that source in your sources.list [12:30] follwo the instructions [12:31] What is also weird is that my Personal Contacts address book is empty, yet when I click SELECT beside a TO field for a new email, it shows addresses in there (that are not from any other address book I can see). [12:31] Mamarok: Yeah I have added it already and upgrading while weyre speaking. [12:31] Mamarok: I just thought it should work out of the box without have to add kubuntu-ppa source [12:31] no, it doesn't, not the policy of *Ubuntu [12:32] if you only have the default sources, you only get security updates [12:32] Mamarok: But why isnt 4.4.3 replace 4.4.2 one in regular updates? [12:32] Mamarok: Alright :P [12:32] Well and then I wonder why I cant find Kdevelop in main packages, I have to enable unsupported ones? [12:32] oxymoron: it might well end in the regular backports repo, but not until 4.4.4 is out [12:32] How does one change the Default Addressbook in Kontact? [12:33] oxymoron: you should enable universe, yes, else your KDE is far from complete [12:33] Mamarok: Alright, oh and do you know if it will be possible to use 4.5 Beta 1 soon? [12:33] michael___: go to the adressbook, and select the one you want to use [12:33] Mamarok: Universe is always added. [12:34] oxymoron: they are working on the packages, but beta is not recommended for average users, it will be in the beta PPA [12:34] Mamarok: And it seems Kopete works as it hsould now with passwords :) [12:34] Hey. [12:34] I have a little problem with amarok. [12:34] My sound is very low. [12:34] Mamarok: Yes I know. But do you think its worth a shot? Beta for KDe 4.5 seems quite early this time, 4.4 came later last year. [12:34] But everything is at 100%. [12:34] Mamarok: That doesn't work. [12:35] mir_: Its not a Amarok problem, start Kmix and start mixing. === thoben is now known as Thoben [12:35] K, will try. Thanks oxymoron. [12:35] mir_: If youre on a laptop you need to fix some thins MAYBE though, I heard problems with low volume even if max everywhere on computer. [12:36] mir_: Then you can try Party mode in Equalizer in Amarok, that make volume sounds a lot higher (I have tested all of them) [12:36] oxymoron: that is normal, there always is a stable update around beta time, but I would not install any beta software if I am not comfortable with errors [12:37] a beta is for testers only and they are asked to report bugs [12:37]
