craigwdy2kI'm back: I found out that I was missing a Turion 64 X2 processor driver that I plan to install eventually...  Right now I'm trying to fix my broken sources.list file: unlike a regular Debian install I found it quite strange that the Trees: line was missing.  Why is that & how should I go about attempting to fix it?00:21
madodaskreecH, ... djustice ... i tried searching with "kfind" but when i right-click them there is no "move"-option or "cut"-option00:23
madodaskreecH, ... djustice ... i can only e.g. copy or delete those files00:23
craigwdy2kI also figured out that I needed to enable the Experimental Repo in order to upgrade to KDE 4.5.1: so far the upgrade went good with only minimal issues like held back packages...00:26
craigwdy2kupgrade went well*00:27

lisa88hey just installed lucid kubuntu (from wubi fwiw). Can't seem to get wifi working. Any idea? ifconfig -a showed wlan0. ideal would be to get this working using wicd (or other command line). but anything that will get me online would be welcome.01:45
Pavel_10anyone know about how Wine affects performance?  Will running a windows application through wine on a netbook drastically slow me down?01:48
djusticemado: nice :)01:51
djusticei cant ever remember the syntax when i need it.. i just use ack & xargs mostly.01:51
djusticePavel_10: not unless you leave it running..01:52
madodjustice, well ... i didn't know at first it was that easy  ... you see ... i'm new to all this01:52
djusticePavel_10: the first time you run wine = rly slow. it needs to do a bunch of config stuff. so just make sure your app closes. i use 'htop' for that stuff.01:53
djusticemado: hehe :) learning is good.01:53
javarockerlisa88: how are you chatting on irc if you don't have net? or are you just here to soak up the tech vibe?01:54
lisa88I'm on a yucky Windows box... I would rather use linux except I cant get wifi working01:55
sithlord48 what kind of wifi card do you have lisa8801:55
lisa88is there a command to tell?01:56
sithlord48you can find out with lshw01:57
madoyep ... i hope i can learn a lot more too :)01:57
sithlord48you will have to scroll thur the output to find network info (there will be a lot of output)01:57
madodjustice, is there anything you could recommend me to read?01:57
sithlord48lisa88: in windows you can find out in the device manager?01:58
javarockerlisa88: you can use lshw | more01:58
lisa88the wireless (wlan0) just says Disabled, but eth0 says Broadcom Netlink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express02:01
sithlord48lisa88:  does you laptop have a wifi switch?02:01
lisa88javarocker less is more02:01
Pavel_10djustice, this may be a dumb question, but android is linux based, right?  Is there a possibility to run an android app on kubuntu nativly?02:02
sithlord48idk02:02
lisa88I was wondering what that mysterio switch was... but, alas, it was already on.02:02
madoplease excuse me for a minute or so02:02
lisa88It was working on Jaunty, but somebody else had gotten it configured....02:03
javarockerlisa88 :)02:04
sithlord48lisa88: does its have a button to turn it on02:04
lisa88I booted into windows, the Wifi is broadcom, and the switch is in the right position and the wifi works ok02:10
sithlord48if you plug it in to the wired lan you may be able to dl properitary driver w/ kubuntu when its online02:11
lisa88Would the hardware IDs from the windows properties helP/02:11

daskreechmore or less all the distros do it the same way16:47
daskreechIf you ask in #debian how to burn the debian ISO to a USB the same steps with the Ubuntu ISO will work16:48
filePeterdaskreech: As I said, it does not seem to be bootable.16:48
daskreechfilePeter: Do you mean the ISO is not bootable?16:49
filePeteryes.16:49
daskreechAh then you will have to do some work then16:49
filePeterdaskreech: Hmm… Obviously, yes! ;-)16:50
daskreechWhy would the Ubuntu ISO be unbootable? Did you hashcheck it?16:52
filePeterYes. It seems to lack grub.16:52
filePeterThis wiki says I need to install it manually....16:52
filePetersure16:53
filePeterWhy the hell is anyone wanting me to use windows tools to get an bootable usb-drive? Or why even use a gui-tool for that? Why not simply put the bootloader in the image!?!?16:57

filePeterdaskreech: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/lucid/kubuntu-10.04.1-netbook-i386.iso16:58
daskreechlol ok16:59
filePeterdaskreech: But it has some nice exe-files installing kubuntu if I used windows…17:01
daskreechfilePeter: I don't understand. What has some nice exe files?17:01
filePeterdaskreech: The image itself. Mounted or written to the drive… ;-)17:02
daskreechfilePeter: Yes. in case you would like to do a Wubi install17:03
filePeterdaskreech: Right, wubi is the one’s filename17:03
* daskreech nods17:03
filePeterdaskreech: Ok, the plan is moving this “image” to an old ubuntu install, then installing this usb-installer-thing and then boot this usb-drive. You Ubuntu-guys really think different, eh!?! :-)17:05
daskreechfilePeter: You could just dd it to a USB drive17:05
filePeterdaskreech: That’s what I did! And it’s not bootable, because I did not use usb-creator! (Yes, I know how that sounds.)17:07
daskreechfilePeter: usb-creator is a front end for dd17:07
filePeterdaskreech: dd works with ubuntu’s ".img"-images but not with iso-images!17:07
filePeterdaskreech: Exept it installing grub, too.17:08
daskreechSo pretty much I assure you that you can dd it and have it work correctly. what ever you do to dd a Debian DVD to a USB drive will work here17:08
filePeterdaskreech: Yes, I thought that, too. And i did nothing but that! I’ll give usb-creator a try! Thanks a lot so far, daskreech!17:10
daskreechfilePeter: if you want yo ucan extract the bootable section of the ISO out and put that on the front of the USB drive17:12

Walzmynis there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to turn my screensaver on and off?19:54
James147Walzmyn: Dont know of a direct shortcut to do that... but there is probally a way you can :)  ... If you can find a command to start the screensaver then you can add an entry to kmenuedit and set the shotcut key that way... personally I dont use a screensaver so there may be a better way to do that, (note you can lock the screen with alt+ctrl+l, not sure if it starts the screen saver though)19:59
WalzmynJames147: yeah, if i could just find that command20:00
WalzmynWe use this computer to skype with grandparents, during that time I'd like to cut it off, then back on when I'm done20:01
James147Walzmyn: :) it could be a qdbus command20:01
WalzmynJames147: whatever it is, my friend google dosen't seem to know it either20:02
James147Walzmyn: you mean turn off the screen saver from auto starting?20:02
WalzmynJames147: yes20:02
James147(thourght you ment to manually start it)20:02
WalzmynMaybe I should ask how to disable / enable the screensaver20:02
James147Walzmyn: look into qdbus, running " qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver " give a bunsh of stuf that might be intresting to you20:05
WalzmynJames147: run that in termimal?20:06
James147Walzmyn: yeah20:06
James147Walzmyn: (also tabbing at the end of the comand give similar stuff)20:06
James147Walzmyn: ^^ dont know much about how to use qdbus, but from playing with it quickly (and knowing what it can do) it would seem that it should beable to do what you want20:07
Walzmynthanks James147, I think you've set me on the right path.20:08
James147Walzmyn: for example "qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive" reports false, which is right for my system :)20:08

wboykinmUbuntu background screen and cursor appear on startup, but no login, icons or anything else clickable shows up.  Anyone know how to fix this?  It may or may not be a video driver bug . . . Running ubuntu 10.04 Netbook remix on an HP Mini 110c, Installed fine and worked like a charm for about a month.  The activities preceeding the malfunction were: 1.) I was configuring the required libraries for an installation of MapServer (libjpeg20:14
wboykinm, libpng, GD, etc.), 2.) I opened GNU emacs to edit a script, and it locked the screen, 3.) After closing emacs, the screen was still blocked, and nothing was clickable, 4.) Not knowing any non-gui ways to force a shutdown, I hard-booted the netbook, 5.) On reboot, the BIOS loaded, the "Ubuntu  Loading" progress bar came up, the marimba sounded and the Ubuntu bubbles background screen came up with a moveable cursor on it, 6.) No20:14
wboykinm login was presented and no interface was available.   This has happened through a half-dozen reboots.  I've tried a few things via console login (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen#Workaround A:  VESA Driver, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121819), but the suggested prompts don't appear.  I'm sure this is a basic problem, and I seem to be missing something fundamental (I'm new to Linux; many apologies).20:14
