| evilsherpa | my machine sees 2 hdds, 1 called 6.2gig and the other called 154gig, i dont know wny they are named as that - since they are respectively 160gig and 200gig | 01:44 |
| evilsherpa | if anyone knows how to get my system to see the drives for what they truelly are - bigger - that would be fan - freekin - tastic, i was hoping to turn one of them into a "windows visible" drive | 01:46 |

| jules_ | ok i need some help please. I can not get my wine to install in my computer. when i run it it gets to 99% and then the gdeb shuts down. when i try to install it using dpkg in sudo box it states that | 02:09 |
| jules_ | cannot access archive: No such file or directory | 02:09 |
| jules_ | Errors were encountered while processing: | 02:09 |
| jules_ | so can some one help please. thank you! | 02:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: sounds like you haven't changed to the directory the deb is in | 02:10 |
| jules_ | ok so how do i do that? | 02:11 |
| jules_ | i am rather new to linux based system so all the help i can get i would love | 02:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: in terminal do cd /path/to/deb where /path/to/deb is the path to the folder the deb is in | 02:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | e.g cd ~/Downloads | 02:12 |
| nikitis_ | How do I prevent Network Manager from asking for a kde wallet? | 02:13 |
| jules_ | so do i have to put cd if it is a download on my computer? | 02:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: in what folder did you d/load it to? | 02:14 |
| jules_ | it is in my home folder in the exe subfolder | 02:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: then cd ~/exe | 02:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | the ~ means your home folder | 02:17 |
| jengirl23 | Question: How do I create a shortcut such that when I push the Window Key + SpaceBar it does the same thing as pressing Alt-F2? | 02:17 |
| jules_ | so would it be like sudo dpkg cd~/exe filename.deb? (want to be sure i get it right you know) | 02:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: no - they are separate commands | 02:19 |
| jules_ | ok so help me? | 02:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: like cd ~/exe then hit enter and the prompt will change then sudp dpkg -i filename.deb | 02:20 |
| jules_ | ok great thanks!!!! I am going to try now will let u know how it works in a min | 02:21 |
| jules_ | ok the cd command not working it is saying "bash: cd: /home/jules/exe: No such file or directory" | 02:23 |
| jules_ | ok this is not working and honestly the gdebi installer is not working with any .deb install at all | 02:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | jules_: you need to get the path right mate | 02:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | !wine | jules_ | 02:29 |

| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, would you be able to assist in getting part of an hdd to mount? | 02:35 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, i may need to change the partitan size, but i think the boot partitian is on a hdd where only that partician is visible, or accessable, and its only 30gigs of 160 | 02:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | evilsherpa: part of a hdd? - you only mount partitions | 02:36 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, this is the fdisk fdisk -l = > http://www.pastebin.org/326914 | 02:37 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, im not sure if its mounted or not, or if it should automount | 02:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | evilsherpa: see if it shows in df -h | 02:38 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, http://www.pastebin.org/327004 | 02:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | evilsherpa: you know the partition name | 02:43 |
| evilsherpa | partially - i dont know waht thuis nvidia one is, unless its my graphics card somehow being seen as an hdd | 02:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | evilsherpa: so do you want the windows on the first hdd to be in the grub menu or just be able to get to it's files? | 02:46 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, there is no windows - im only having an NTFS so that the lone windows machine on our network can trade files | 02:49 |
| evilsherpa | ie they put it into that dir, or i put it into that dir, and we can both access it | 02:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | !fstab | evilsherpa | 02:50 |
| ubottu | evilsherpa: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 02:50 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, thanks, yeh ive been in anout out of fstab a lot lately | 02:51 |
| evilsherpa | well_laid_lawn, as well as gparted | 02:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | why gparted? - aren't the partitions already there? | 02:52 |
| evilsherpa | they are but that nvidia one was unformatted | 02:56 |

| nerdy_kid | anyone know what X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=desktop_kdebase does? (ive find it in all the system .desktop files for kde) | 03:06 |
| jules_ | can anyone tell me fastest way of upgrading my wine? | 03:08 |
| JontheEchidna | nerdy_kid: it tells KDE where to look for translations for the .desktop file | 03:12 |
| JontheEchidna | (Ubuntu strips them from where they normally are (in the .desktop files) and imports them into the Ubuntu translation system | 03:13 |
| nerdy_kid | JontheEchidna ah ok, now does this process happen in realtime? if so, does it have any impact on speed? | 03:13 |
| nerdy_kid | cause i have a laggy context menu and wondering if that might be the issue | 03:14 |
| nerdy_kid | that is something .desktop file related could be the issue | 03:14 |
| JontheEchidna | nah, shouldn't cause speed issues. | 03:15 |
| JontheEchidna | it has to load the translations, whether or not it looks in the ubuntu location or not | 03:16 |
| nerdy_kid | JontheEchinda do you have an idea how i might disable it? just to make absolutly sure that it isnt effecting the speed. | 03:16 |
| JontheEchidna | nerdy_kid: deleting that key should do it | 03:16 |
| nerdy_kid | JontheEchidna besides that, just about every single .desktop file has it | 03:16 |
| nerdy_kid | would removing executible permissions from the gettext binary do it? | 03:17 |
| JontheEchidna | sudo rm /usr/share/locale-langpack/YOURLANGHERE/LC_MESSAGES/desktop_* might do the trick | 03:18 |

| heath | who wants to help me diagnose the network issue? | 06:36 |
| heath | wireless nor wired works for some reason | 06:36 |
| heath | it shows it as being connected, but i can't ping or connect through the browser to anything | 06:36 |
| poyntz | try pulling out your cable and puttin it back in again | 06:38 |
| poyntz | also is there a proxy on the network? | 06:39 |
| poyntz | ...might be preventing access | 06:39 |
| poyntz | check the network icon up the top right hand corner to see if you are connected | 06:39 |
| poyntz | otherwise, restart your router | 06:39 |
| poyntz | heath: sorry mate. those last few comments were aimed at you :P | 06:42 |
| heath | hrm, wired works | 06:42 |
| heath | yar, i tried quite a bit getting it to work | 06:42 |
| heath | not sure what's going with the wireless though | 06:42 |
| heath | okay, so let's skip that and ask why mp3s aren't playing in amarok :) | 07:06 |
| heath | i have kubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:07 |
| heath | and libxine1-ffmpeg | 07:07 |
| heath | and teh gstreamer ugly plugins | 07:07 |
| heath | oh file had moved :P | 07:12 |
| poyntz | health, some mp3s may not play, others may | 07:43 |
| poyntz | heath: some mp3s may not play, others may | 07:43 |
| poyntz | try different mp3s to see if it's an issue with the file or with amarok | 07:43 |

| Ites | it's just annoying that sometimes the noise is acceptable, and 20 secs later it's like a vacuum cleaner | 11:15 |
| Peace- | Ites: basically when you acpi the system under power save and stuff like that should work only if your kernel is able to recognize correctly it | 11:15 |
| Peace- | Ites: if it doesn't you can have some problem like yours | 11:15 |
| Ites | oh | 11:15 |
| Ites | so how do you fix that? | 11:15 |

| poyntz | how do i get out of netbook and onto plasma-desktop? | 12:56 |
| poyntz | what is basically happening atm is i have netbook and plasma-desktop open | 13:00 |
| poyntz | i want to close netbook | 13:00 |
| poyntz | alright done. i just killed it as a process | 13:00 |
| poyntz | now i want to make it so when i restart it goes to plasma-desktop and not netbook. any ideas? | 13:01 |
| Torch | n8w: one idea would be to check if cat /proc/swaps references the device in /dev/mapper | 13:14 |
| n8w | Torch: ye ive checked fstab but it doesnt mention anythin related to an encrypted swap | 13:16 |
| n8w | Torch: the reason why im doin this research is the hibernation not workin properly...ive read that en encrypted swap causes problems | 13:17 |
| poyntz | plasma-desktop won't start up on startup. instead plasma-notebook starts up. how do I fix this? | 13:19 |

| Torch | Cato37: just ask your question, don't ask to ask. | 14:53 |
| Cato37 | i went to the foxit site and the winrar site to install linux versions of their product. they downloaded as .gz file, and when i unzip them they dont intall. how do i install them? | 14:54 |
| Cato37 | *productes; *install | 14:54 |
| Cato37 | please forgive the typos. i have had no sleep, and need to have kubuntu up and running and the former vista backup files (saved as .rar) put on before the end of this day. | 14:55 |
| Cato37 | so far i am just making a mess of things. | 14:56 |
| Cato37 | how do i install 3rd party programs that dont show up in the package manager? | 14:56 |
| pip | I wanna know the performance of kubuntu, including stability and speed | 14:59 |
| Torch | Cato37: you shouldn't need to do that. there's an unrar package in the repositories. | 14:59 |
| Torch | Cato37: foxit is the PDF reader? just use okular. | 15:00 |
| Torch | Cato37: don't install any software from outside the repositories if you're new to linux. you'll make a mess of your system. | 15:00 |
| rysiek|pl | Cato37: if I were you, I'd get some sleep. no, seriously, 2-3h of sleep can save you from doing lots of dumb mistakes | 15:01 |
| Cato37 | i am not at home to be able to snooze, but thanx. i have a foxit account and need it to access data. | 15:01 |
| Cato37 | as long as i can extract the .rar files it doesnt matter what the program is. | 15:02 |
| pip | Okay, simply, which one works faster, kde or gnome ? | 15:02 |
| pip | I have an old laptop, PIII 850 MHz | 15:02 |
| pip | I wanna try Kubuntu, is that a bad idea ? | 15:02 |
| Cato37 | i am trying kubuntu and like it very much so far. | 15:03 |
| pip | Cato37, Your computer must be very cool | 15:04 |
| Cato37 | the learning curve seems a bit steep since i am coming from a windows backgroun, but it seems much more stable. | 15:04 |
| pip | Good | 15:05 |

| n8w | how should a swap partition b defined in fstab? like this: UUID=f3c84cbe-4f72-4921-a73c-1b7b7a7e330d or like dev/sda? | 15:13 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: either. you can define any partition either by UUID or by the device file. | 15:14 |
| Torch | n8w: UUID is preferable | 15:14 |
| n8w | Torch, rysiek|pl ok | 15:14 |
| n8w | omg this hibernation issues drive me crazy.... | 15:14 |
| n8w | i dunno what to do anymore | 15:14 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: I assume you *do* have more swap thanram, right? | 15:15 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: ye 100Mb more than my size of my ram | 15:15 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: i could easily have only 2 gb swap 9.04 n hibernation was workin perfectly | 15:16 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: but 10.4 is toaly weird | 15:16 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: yeah, it depends on how much ram+swap is already used. the swap partition must be big enough to cater for *whole* used mem in hibernation | 15:16 |
| Cato37 | is there a better command line prog than the current run command? | 15:16 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: ye i know... | 15:16 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: but I suppose your problems stem from either grub or fstab somewhere :/ | 15:17 |
| Torch | Cato37: konsole? | 15:17 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: hmm not rly...im usin s2disk for hibernation | 15:17 |
| rysiek|pl | ah, in that case, no idea | 15:17 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: it success ratio for hibernation is approx 25% | 15:18 |
| Cato37 | konsole, thanx. there was another that i heard about that had a japanese name, but i forget it. | 15:18 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: any messages in dmesg/syslog/messages? | 15:18 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: hang on | 15:19 |
| * rysiek|pl 's hanging by a thread | 15:21 | |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: which one should i look in? | 15:21 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: no idea, never used s2disk (everything works OOTB here) | 15:23 |
| n8w | rysiek|pl: hmm so ur one of those lucky ones... | 15:23 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: I'd just grep through /var/log for, dunno, 's2disk'? 'hibern'? 'suspend'? | 15:24 |
| rysiek|pl | n8w: i.e.: egrep -nHri '(s2disk|hibern|suspend)' /var/log/* | 15:24 |
| Cato37 | should i have a firewall or anti-virus program with kubuntu? | 15:25 |

| Cato37 | :) | 15:28 |
| rysiek|pl | Cato37: short, to the point and should answer why FW on a desktop Linux is not necessary | 15:29 |
| Cato37 | keen. someone said that it might be good to have clam-av for the windows users that i will be interfacing with. | 15:30 |
| Torch | Cato37: if you run a mailserver, yes. | 15:31 |
| rysiek|pl | Cato37: if you are running a server, yeah | 15:31 |
| Torch | Cato37: that might make sense in certain cases. | 15:31 |
| rysiek|pl | hah, Torchbeat me to it | 15:31 |
| Torch | Cato37: don't worry about this for a desktop or notebook. | 15:31 |
| Torch | rysiek|pl: yay ;-) | 15:31 |

| Cato37 | ***notices that he doesnt have to reboot when installing new programs*** | 15:42 |
| Torch | Cato37: you don't have to reboot unless you updated the kernel. | 15:48 |
| Cato37 | there are a lot of plusses to using kubuntu. | 15:49 |
| Torch | Cato37: yes, but this is a general linux thing, not a kubuntu-specific thing | 15:50 |
| Cato37 | ic. i still need to learn what wine is and install some windows apps with it. i have weened myself off of everything except onenote and illustrator. | 15:51 |
| Cato37 | *weaned (sp?) | 15:51 |
| Torch | Cato37: wine is a crutch, not more. it works for some apps, but it's mostly a waste of time. | 15:52 |
| llutz | and it prevents dev from porting their software to linux | 15:53 |
| Cato37 | what would be the best to use for illustrator, or is there an app that can modify .ai files? | 15:53 |
| Cato37 | dev? | 15:54 |
| llutz | software developer | 15:54 |

| ganeshp | Hi all, I am using Kubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop. Since yesterday, system monitor is showing incorrect swap size i.e. instead of 08.00 GB it is showing it as 9.9 GB. When I tried to deactive SWAP using KDE partition manager, I noticed the system monitor still displaying the swap as 1.9. Not sure how is this possible. | 16:20 |

| llutz | ganeshp: paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please to paste.ubuntu.com | 16:21 |

| ganeshp | oh ok IIutz. How do I delete this? | 16:34 |
| Machtin | thank's i'll try, llutz. | 16:34 |
| DarthFrog | ganeshp: Does it come up on every boot? | 16:34 |
| ganeshp | yes | 16:35 |
| ganeshp | but when I try booting through live cd it does not come up | 16:35 |

| Guest50155 | I just upgraded two raid 1 drives from 320GB to 1.5TB but I still only have 23GB free. How can I make Ubuntu see all of the space? | 16:43 |
| Unksi | Guest50155: sounds like you are looking on how much free space is on a single partition | 16:44 |
| DarthFrog | Guest50155: How did you do the upgrade? | 16:45 |
| Guest50155 | i did one drive at a time with the partition I wanted larger already the size I wanted it. Found resize2fs and it's working thx | 16:49 |
| DarthFrog | But you didn't remake the RAID array? | 16:50 |
| Guest50155 | DarthFrog, yeah i did that one drive at a time toot | 16:50 |
| Guest50155 | *too | 16:50 |
| Guest50155 | took FOREVER | 16:50 |
| DarthFrog | By one drive at a time, you mean you had one small drive and one large drive in the array? | 16:51 |
| Guest50155 | I grew the array after that as well | 16:51 |
| Guest50155 | DarthFrog, yes | 16:51 |
| Guest50155 | then when the first drive was done I just treated it as if the other drive had failed and sfdisk'd the partitions over and added to array | 16:51 |
| DarthFrog | I think you'll have to remake the array again, with both large drives. | 16:51 |
| Guest50155 | why? it's working... | 16:52 |
| Guest50155 | another issue I have is my cdrom drive just never mounts properly and if I run mount /media/cdrom0 the light never comes on and after about 20 seconds I get mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 | 16:52 |
| DarthFrog | If it's working, what are you complaining about? :-) | 16:52 |

| Bucky | hi. when i need to download or save a file, it always open a window in /home/myUser/Documents/; there's a way to change this default folder? | 22:18 |
| chuckf | Bucky: depends on the program you're using to download with | 22:19 |
| Bucky | chuckf: i dont think so; for ex: when i download a file with firefox, it opens in documents; when a save a file with OOo Writer, it opens in Documents, when i save an image with gimp, it open in Documents. | 22:21 |
| === david is now known as Guest51215 | ||
| Bucky | should be an option somewhere | 22:21 |
| === Guest51215 is now known as andito | ||
| chuckf | Bucky: there is an option for default directories in each of those programs under their preferences. Kubuntu makes the ~/Documents directory the default for most applicatoins | 22:22 |
| kyan | I just tried two more programs. Still failing silently. | 22:23 |
| andito | I am running kubuntu on my vaio but the sound is not working | 22:24 |
| hart | how do i see that i have this number audio card: "plughw:0,0"; or whatever it is | 22:24 |
| andito | can someone give me a hand please? | 22:24 |
| Bucky | chuckf: so its a choice of kubuntu; very strange; it would had been better to use home folder. there's not a way to change this default folder in KDE options instead that in each single software? it's stupid! | 22:26 |
| tsimpson | Bucky: there may be a GUI for editing it, but you can just edit the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 22:26 |
| tsimpson | it's not Kubuntu actually, just the XDG "standard" | 22:26 |
| hart | is there a way for looking what plughw:0,0 my card is using? | 22:27 |
| chuckf | Bucky: for me, saving to the documents directory is better than polluting the home folder for everything | 22:27 |
| Bucky | chuckf: i can see what you mean, but since i deal with different kind of files i use home folder as a starting point; e.g. if i want to save an image i need a single click to go to Pictures folder; instead now i have to browse back to home folder and then choose | 22:30 |
| hart | After installing you will have to modify your local .asoundrc alsa configuration file, adding something like this. If you're not using sound card 0 modify "plughw:0,0" accordingly. | 22:30 |
| Bucky | i dont like to fill home folder too | 22:30 |
| hart | where do i see what plughw i have? | 22:30 |
| Tyal | ok disc#3 burned (2 10.04, 1 10.10 so far). Let's see if this one works heh | 22:31 |
| Bucky | anyway: tsimpson thanks, that was what i was looking for; thanks to chuckf too | 22:32 |
| andito | how can I check what's the sound problem on my vaio | 22:32 |
| andito | ? | 22:32 |
