=== ubuntu is now known as psepsepse [00:40] Is there a frontend for lm-sensors so that you can change fanspeed directly? [00:42] sigh [00:43] Meerkat is kinda slow on my netbook. I think I'll go with xfce4 :P, dillo, irssi and pine [00:56] hello [00:56] i just installed kubuntu 10.10 beta [00:57] and how do i get device drivers beta version for kubuntu 10.10 [00:57] so i can use a higher resolution such as 1440x900 === root is now known as Guest42444 [01:33] I have no audio in miro but no problems with all other apps, running in kubuntu 10.04 64bit i noticed the problem in 9.10 also, any ideas. [01:34] Evening....can noobs ask questions in this channel? [01:35] mika__: Of course! [01:35] mika__: give it a shot ) [01:36] Though you might get noobs like myself trying to answer it :P [01:38] well, i am wondering if the 32-bit kubuntu edition would solve my linux problems... === hsr is now known as iop [01:40] i keep going back to windows (and a week later reformatting because i can't stand it anymore) because of mostly flash. [01:40] where would the 32-bit linux flash be on a scale between the choppy 64-bit performance and regular windows version performance? [01:42] mika__: Couldn't say. I haven't used the 32bit in quite a while. What are your system specs more or less. [01:43] ummm... athlon II quad 2.8GHz, 4 gb ram, onboard radeon hd4200 === jtheuer is now known as jt|away [01:47] mika__: I believe it should run okay though I'm not too familiar with ati cards. [01:47] mika__: What flash sites give you the biggest problems? All of them? [01:48] mika__: I'll tell you this, it will not likely ever run as well as it does in windows. [01:49] I use Akregator to save everyday updates of xkcd.com. Akregator updated the comics only till some date, but i need pr [01:49] pretty much, yes. videos on cnn are choppy. i like flash-based facebook games, like farmville, but half the application twitches and flashes randomly and is sluggish [01:50] I use Akregator to save everyday updates of xkcd.com. Akregator updated the comics only till some date, but i need previous comics as well// how can i do that? [01:52] I'm having trouble finding reliable info about the current versions of all of the various *buntus. Where do I find what kernel options are used etc... I really need to find a reliable Dom0 Xen 4.0.X compatible distro that will just work OOB. Does such a thing even currently exist or not? I can't rebuild the kernel due to needing special SledgeHammer related Open64 optimizations yet there's no Kubuntu binary on AMD's Developer Site ): [01:52] ... [01:54] GCC doesn't like this PC: I can't fix it either without patches at the very least... [01:59] What I really need is either a hacked GCC that won't bomb on me or better still a llvm that's capable of accepting SledgeHammer optimization flags... Surely this must be doable... [02:01] I even found posts on AMD's on forums saying benchmarks of certain CPU intensive apps run 30-40 percent faster on average when compiled using Open64 with the correct mtune & compiler flags... [02:03] own* [02:04] I use Akregator to save everyday updates of xkcd.com. Akregator updated the comics only till some date, but i need previous comics as well// how can i do that? [02:07] If someone could tell me how to do hack apt-get or aptitude based source build I would consider contributing the bins if I can get it to compile correctly without it bombing mid-way through... [02:07] how to* [02:10] The problem is you have to create a .info file & .patch file which has to be referenced properly in the apt-get built-in database. It works on Macs using an ancient build of apt-get but you have to either use the Apple supplied GCC or a specially built shell script Bash based build which must be Altivec patched... [02:13] It would also require an overhaul/upgrade of the Fink apt-get .pl Perl script front-end: the entire build is apt-get automated using apt-get/dpkg based dependency upgrade/downgrade via Gnu Autotools .debs in order to hack the build system...: it's not pretty but at least it works enough to produce a binary... [02:16] I've coaxed old Macs including a eMac & a AlBook G4 into building KDE 3.5.10 & KDE 4.4.1 using the automated build system... So assuming you can install either Fink or tell apt-get to use the .PL script for certain builds it should work in theory at least... [02:18] The builds do take forever but the binaries are useable if you can get good enough GCC & Gfortran optimization coverage: big-endian Darwin is about as close to a GNU autotools nightmare as you can get... [02:19] I went to system settings/ removable devices and set my ntfs volumes to mount on boot. They mounted before that anyways but I get a password prompt for each volume, everytime I reboot. How can I stop these password nags? [02:21] The real issue is making sure the autotools like M4 in particular are current: bugs in GNU M4 have crashed countless Fink builds of mine & I still can't get Xcdroast 0.98 Alpha 16 to build by upgrading the system-wide autotools & linking with bins in /sw manually... [02:25] At least yours mount correctly: mine won't even mount at all... [02:27] Who is the keeper of the apt-get autobuild how-tos for either this community or the main Debian one... I'm desperate to find the answers that I need to make this PC work correctly... [02:27] Debian one...? [02:29] Fedora has RPM-build so surely the apt-get build machinery must work to some extent anyways... Isn't that where packages for Stable/Testing/Unstable & all the varoious *buntus come from...? [02:30] Or do I need to fill out some Open64 autobuild request waver/form to request a *buntus compatible build...? [02:33] Or better yet a Sid compatible build so AMD64 Sidux might work better on this PC... I would say Testing except it has it has already been frozen for a big upcoming release... [02:36] craig: I can't help you much, I am a noob still [02:38] Right: I may have to buy a license or RHEL for this PC: AMD only currently offers binaries for that distro ATM. Ugh...! [02:38] for RHEL* [02:39] I like Kubuntu but can't wait till I understand it better so I can submit usability improvement suggestions to make it even better. [02:41] Good news: I just found out there's a RHEL 6 Beta 2 download available... I hope it's actually usable for desktop use...: that's what scares me to be perfectly honest... [02:43] craig: btw, you can almost without doubt use CentOS instead of RHEL. it should be 100% compatible, with no need for purchasing support license [02:44] I tried CentOS already: the installer crashed/stalled on me... [02:45] craig: if the CentOS installer crashes on you, the RHEL installer will very likely do the same, as they are probably identical [02:45] This thing hates every distro I've tried including Fedora Core 13: I tried burning Rawhide too & it doesn't seem to like this PC's hardware at all one bit: what a disaster... [02:46] craig: what sort of hardware does it have that gives you so much grief? [02:48] Broadcom BCM2045 & a Validity VSF201 fingerprint reader/scanner... If the distros were SledgeHammer optimized I suspect it would run anything out there well but they refuse to do so because of the ensuing backwards compatibility nightmare that would result for other users... [02:49] is the broadcom your ethernet or wireless adapter? [02:50] Not just any Broadcom BCM2045 either: a HP Integrated module that requires periodic firmware upgrades...: which reminds me: I still haven't found any .dfu files for this thing to upgrade it to Bluetooth 2.1+EDR... [02:50] It's a Bluetooth module if you must know... [02:51] ok, gotcha. [02:51] I also can't figure out if the GPU firmware is being loaded properly/at all either... [02:52] i tend to avoid HP consumer-grade PCs as much as possible === JoshuaP is now known as Guest26579 [02:52] hallo [02:54] Also it uses a special Mobile version of the AMD/ATI M780G/SB750: the hardware PCI IDs that Windows reports are different from its Desktop counterpart too... [02:55] ops [02:55] !ops [02:55] Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) Hobbsee, Tm_T, Nalioth, Riddell, seth, imbrandon, gnomefreak, nixternal, ryanakca, mneptok, PriceChild, tsimpson, jussi, Pici, ikonia, genii, Mamarok, claydoh, maco, apachelogger, seele, Nightrose, JontheEnchidna, rgreening, or txwikinger [02:55] craig: have you managed to get any gnu/linux variant installed on this machine? [02:55] !ops [02:56] Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) Hobbsee, Tm_T, Nalioth, Riddell, seth, imbrandon, gnomefreak, nixternal, ryanakca, mneptok, PriceChild, tsimpson, jussi, Pici, ikonia, genii, Mamarok, claydoh, maco, apachelogger, seele, Nightrose, JontheEnchidna, rgreening, or txwikinger [02:56] Yeah: but it never works right: something hardware/software related eventually breaks over time: bit rot ensues... [02:56] wer: are you seeking to get banned? [02:56] wer: yes? [02:56] wer, dont do that [02:57] bazhang: What? [02:57] jmichaelx: Its offending to be asked that [02:57] jmichaelx: I would certainly ask for help [02:57] wer: Why are you calling for ops? [02:57] wer, unnecessarily call that command in multiple channels (now 3) [02:58] Maybe for some hardware tech support for me: beats me... [02:58] wer: that you are offended does not matter. you should not do that unless there is some sort of emergency in the channel === Guest26579 is now known as thatjoshdood [02:59] Pici: jmichaelx: Let me come to quetion [03:00] bazhang: I use a router connected to desktops and netbooks, on the other side my other memebers are connected. They are asking for me [03:00] craig: may i ask what the model number is for your machine? [03:00] Pavilion dv6z-1100. I can't even get PC-BSD installed: it installs but fails to boot upon Reboot: utterly rediculous I tell you... [03:00] bazhang: And i am not interested in seeking help from you. Thank you. [03:01] Pici: jmichaelx: How can i connect to #ubuntu? [03:01] qwert: Please close that channel [03:01] wer: you are not to call for the ops for support questions. you WILL get banned. how to connect to that channel depends on your irc client. try clicking on #ubuntu . [03:02] jmichaelx: Its not responding [03:03] wer: try entering '/join #ubuntu' [03:03] jmichaelx: No its not [03:03] Or do you want the other model number: NT593AV...? [03:03] no, the number you gave is fine. i was just curious [03:05] Pici: jmichaelx: bazhang: Trust me I'm not a spammer/cracker/ .. [03:05] hulllo there . [03:06] wer: it is nothing personal against you, but calling for ops to answer tech support questions is asking for trouble. [03:06] How can I test for a failing hard drive: the UBCD in its current form is useless as is the WD Windows based Diagnostics software: I ask because the Restore Discs for this PC no longer work: I keep getting a error 1005 which according to the HP community indicated my HD is bad: the only gotcha is that it & the Quanta 3061 mobo were just replaced last June/July right before the warranty was up... [03:06] got an issue with Kubuntu , when I try to pair my blutooth phone with Kbt it discovers it but it says "this device does not support input services" [03:06] Pici: jmichaelx: bazhang: THank you. I only need to join #ubuntu [03:07] what should I do .. [03:07] wer: google is your friend [03:08] craig: have you tried using the smartmontools? [03:08] I also had to fix the BIOS: i.e. patch it manually in order to get SLIC 2.1 support for Win 7 (considering it was a free upgrade...). No: I haven't tried that yet... [03:09] sadly, there can sometimes be major compatibility issues between linux and certain laptops [03:10] jmichaelx: For example? [03:10] That & AHCI is unreliable with AMD's Win 7 x64 drivers too: the PC fails to boot Win 7 x64... [03:10] wer: we are talking about an HP laptop that craig is struggling with [03:10] After injecting the drivers manually... [03:11] That & I can't use the NT Installer which no longer exists to load them via a USB floppy either... Legacy USB support is broken too... [03:12] jmichaelx: craig: I suppose this may help [03:12] jmichaelx: craig: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks [03:14] craig: hate to say it, but you might want to consider selling it, and purchasing something with fewer compatibility issues... it all depends on how much patience and experience you have [03:14] Would using the Netbook version remixed for AMD64 help...? [03:15] I've been considering that option for quite a while now... [03:15] I mean doing a manual remix... [03:16] Has anyone used the downloadable dolphin service "mountiso", I installed it but it is not showing like it says it should in the context menu. [03:17] my original netbook was an everex cloudbook with a VIA MB and CPU. it even came with ubuntu pre-installed, which natually influenced me to think that it would be nicely compatible. it wasn't. after much fighting and days worth of driver patching & compiling, i sold it on ebay, and purchased a dell mini-9. problem solved... [03:19] How to have Akreagator save old feeds (which it couldn't save) as well? [03:19] jmichaelx: * [03:19] What about submitting a Open64 build request...? I've been looking for an excuse to do LFS on this thing for some time now anyways... That might fix some of the optimization related issues... [03:19] wer: my knowledge of akregator is minimal, although i intend to spend some time with it soon. === administrator is now known as Guest77997 [03:20] jmichaelx: I have xkcd.com loaded as feed in it. But i cannot find previous posts of it. [03:21] craig: you might also consider installing gentoo [03:21] jmichaelx: Secondly, i was wondering if there is any program/package that saves pdf files from webpage (as in newsletters update) [03:22] Maybe this PC might respond better to Xubuntu...? There's a lot of KDE related bloat that might be causing issues on this thing...: I'm just grasping at straws here but it's just so crazy it might actually work... [03:24] I could live without some of the KDE extras like the PIM stuff & Digikam too... [03:24] craig: you could try it, but if this is all hardware related, i am not sure it would make much difference..... also, although i am a fan of xfce, i'm not much of a fan of xubuntu... it can hardly be called a lightweight distro [03:25] jmichaelx: Is there any? [03:25] What about PC/OS Workstation 10.1.1? [03:27] craig: i have no experience with PC/OS. it almost seems to me that you may want to check out gentoo, and spend time playing around with optimizing your kernel for you specific hardware [03:27] Does anyone use NTFS partitions with Dolphin? [03:28] elijah: yes [03:28] elijah: Whats the issue? [03:28] wer: Do you get asked for a password everytime you initially access them after reboot? [03:28] Via Dolphin [03:29] elijah: Only for once [03:29] I also have a proprietary Meade DS-90 computer controlled telescope that I need to get working with Stellarium or Kstars if they would just port it already... I need to quit using Windows if I possibly can: I only installed it for WINE really... [03:29] The password prompt doesn't say it is for them but it is [03:29] craig: Good idea on Xubuntu [03:30] elijah: It says - Please enter your password to use this device [03:30] wer: Hmm, okay, thanks. I am trying to figure out how to get Dolphin to stop asking after boot [03:31] wer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9835098 [03:31] I just posted there [03:31] elijah: Its by default to ask and it asks for external same drives only once [03:31] wer: YEah, but where do we turn it off? [03:31] elijah: i am not sure, but could you just 'chown' that particular drive? i assume this wold work for an NTFS drive, but am not sure [03:32] Should I go with Stable or the 10.10 Beta? I must admit the Beta is quite tempting... [03:32] elijah: Are the two partitions from different hds? [03:32] jmichaelx: Is that a hack? [03:32] wer: Two partitions, same HDD [03:32] From my windows install [03:32] elijah: not a hack. it just changes permissions. i just don't know much about NTFS permissions [03:32] I want to migrate data eventually to my ext4 partitions [03:33] elijah: Yeah right - try gksudo dolphin to change permissions for those drives if required [03:33] elijah: youi may not want to try chown-ing that partiotion if it has a windows installation on it, though [03:33] jmichaelx: I have an external HFS+ partition mounted via USB also and it doesn't prompt for a password via dolphin, just the ntfs [03:33] elijah: chown will not work [03:34] wer: will chown only work on linux file systems? [03:34] elijah: Only ntfs does it, right [03:34] wer: Yes [03:34] NTFS can be quite a pain to administer too: i.e. doing Security Audits on the USN Journal & all... WinNT 4.0 through WinXP doesn't even include a USN Journal Viewer... [03:35] wer: My main goal is to not have password prompts at startup [03:35] elijah: Its not that its not possible to work it upon ntfs but chown primarily works for unix-like systems to alter owners with root active else chgrp [03:36] I had three, I put a blank password in for my KDE wallet because it kept wanting it for Wifi [03:36] wer: I think chowning it is a hack, I don;t want to do that. [03:37] elijah: No its not hacking. Certainly not. regular users can use chgrp [03:37] elijah: Did you try gksudo dolphin [03:38] the 10.4 install cd isn't liking my ATI 5x00 ... is there a way to get to 'safe graphics mode' like in the olden' days? [03:39] What would gksudo dolphin do? [03:39] Also, how does gksudo differ from kdesuodo [03:39] I don't have gksudo, it wants me to install it [03:40] kdesu dolphin [03:40] elijah, use it with care though [03:40] elijah: install and you can change permissions for user [03:40] elijah: under ownership [03:40] elijah, no need to install gksudo [03:40] wer: K, I will try [03:41] bazhang: kdesu not found [03:41] elijah, what about kdesudo [03:41] bazhang: that works but I don't know how to use it to change user permissions [03:42] kdesudo dolphin just opens dolphin [03:42] elijah, for ntfs? [03:43] My problem is that Kubuntu/Dolphin asks me for a password everytime I reboot for each NTFS partition. I know the password, I just don't want to have to enter it every reboot. [03:44] I want to boot my computer and be up and running [03:44] elijah, added it to fstab? [03:44] elijah: click on that drive [03:44] adding it to fstab is just for mounting right, I tried that too [03:45] the drives are mounted just fine [03:45] elijah: open it and then within the same gksudo window got to root> media> disk [03:45] if i cancel the password prompts [03:46] wer: Ok, I did that [03:46] that works [03:47] what do I do next to ignore password at boot? [03:47] jmichaelx: now right click that drive within gksudo window and change the owner [03:47] elijah: It asks because its for root and not for user [03:47] wer: Well, I am not actually in gksudo [03:47] I typed kdesudo dolphin [03:47] Should I get gksudo? [03:48] go back to konsole and type gksudo dolphin [03:48] it isn't installed [03:48] I will get it now === ridin is now known as gstarx90 === Diziara is now known as DeathKitten [03:49] elijah: Its less than 1 mb, install and get into media and right click the disk which is mounted(ntfs).. [03:50] wer: I can't install it, package manager doesn't show it in a search and if I do sudo apt-get install gksudo it says it isn't available [03:50] gksudo is for gtk apps, not qt apps [03:50] "but is referred to by another package"?.... [03:51] gksu gives graphical interface for sudo [03:51] gksu [03:51] for gtk apps [03:51] gksu is ONLY for gtk apps. for qt apps, use kdesu [03:51] this is #kubuntu thus qt and kdesu/kdesudo [03:52] jmichaelx: But it works for dolphin [03:52] If I just type kdesudo, it says " no command larguments supplied!... kdesudo will now exit" [03:52] wer: dolphin may go ahead and start, but you should not use gksu with qt apps [03:53] elijah: did you try gksu for dolphin alone? [03:53] I right clicked in dolphin via kdesudo and have a permissions tab where it lists root as owner [03:53] elijah: did you type 'kdesudo doplphin'? [03:53] sudo apt-get install gksu [03:53] jmichaelx: yes [03:53] dolphin* [03:53] wer: That doesn't work [03:54] I couldn't help but notice that the newer Xubuntu 10.10 Beta features a 2.6.35 Kernel... Should I burn the stable Release or the Beta: I'm just not sure which one would work better... [03:54] okay.. i am surprised though. Try what jmichaelx says rest is same what i suggested.. [03:54] wer: http://typr.in/7wjy [03:54] elijah: 'kdesudo dolphin' works here, though it takes a bit to start [03:55] jmichaelx: Yeah, that works fine for me, I get dolphin, as root I suppose [03:55] elijah: Right [03:55] elijah:Now go to media [03:55] I navigate to my ntfs part. and right click, properties, permissions, that is where I am [03:55] elijah: okay [03:55] elijah: however, i think i would have tried using 'chown' from the command line, as i presume that is what dolphin is going to be using anyways [03:55] do you see ownership? [03:55] ownership says "root" [03:56] it would be for the drive [03:56] for user [03:56] elijah: you can change it for your username, now it won't ask [03:57] wer: K, I will restart now to test, brb [03:57] elijah: If you think you want to chown/chgrp, we may help on that [03:57] jmichaelx: I guess that should work for the whole drive [03:57] wer: i think chown is what dolphin would have used to do what you just instructed him to do [03:57] Are there any big hardware related changes that 2.6.35 brings to the table...? I've heard on kernel.org that my Atheros Wi-Fi might work better with it: should I ever feel the need for full 802.11n support... [03:58] wer: it would work for a file, a dir or a drive... whatever you tell it to do [03:59] jmichaelx: yeah.. but its quite risky with chown rather with chgrp it would be easy [03:59] elijah: Did it work? [03:59] wer: why is it risky with chown? [03:59] jmichaelx: Risky for non linux filesystems [03:59] Due to the NTFS USN Journal: it's considered to be a NT Security Hazard... [03:59] wer: that may very well be. [04:00] jmichaelx: risky for NTFS alone [04:00] gotcha [04:00] elijah: Did it work? [04:00] Sorry for repition [04:00] wer: I think I have to do a full reboot and not just logout, but either way I just checked to see if the user change stuck and it doesn't appear to have stuck, it is back to root now. [04:00] craig: i'd say give the beta a spin. it couldn't hurt [04:01] jmichaelx: Shall we suggest chown/chgrp? [04:01] wer: Yeah, I change it via rooted dolphin and as soon as I leave it gets changed back [04:01] I still want to boot my one partition [04:01] craig: i know that ndiswrapper is still often used with certain atheros wireless chipsets, maybe that will be less necessary with the new kernel [04:01] if I have to for some reason [04:02] elijah: It would neve affect mbr for booting [04:02] wer: if chowning an NTFS drive is discouraged, we probably should just not use it [04:02] jmichaelx: but chgrp? [04:02] wer: i have seldon used chgrp, but that *might* be the way to go [04:02] Alright, I am going to give up on this for tonight [04:02] elijah: It would neve affect mbr for booting Windows, if thats what you are worried about [04:02] seldom* [04:03] I've got a problem here: the DistroWatch ISO Download link is broken... [04:03] It redirects to the 10.04 stable release... [04:04] elijah: Oh.. I guess chgrp would help if you need [04:04] Small question though, is it possible to get an "up one level" button in the dolphin toolbar? [04:04] wer: maybe I will just sleep it forever and never reboot :) [04:04] Not ideal but a workaround for now [04:04] elijah: You have non-editable Location for that [04:05] craig: there are a lot of mirrors. also bittorrent. here is one mirror: http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/10.10/beta/ [04:05] elijah: Whats the problem if it asks for only once? [04:05] wer: Ok, I guess that works, [04:05] wer: It is a poor user experience [04:05] for the second question [04:06] elijah:Umm.. I mean its upto you :) [04:06] When I first installed Kubuntu, I had three password prompts, 4 if you counted wifi [04:06] after login [04:06] elijah:Second question - You have non-editable Location for that [04:06] 2 for the ntfs partitions, 1 for kdewallet [04:06] Actually BitTorrent works where as Konq lacks a built-in file downloader...): I found that out the hard way before... [04:06] wer: Oh, sorry, I mean the non-edotable location wokrs good! [04:07] elijah:okay [04:07] craig: i tend to just use wget for large ftp and http downloads [04:07] wer: I finally gave up trying to figure out KDEwallet and wifi and just gave kdewallet a blank password even though it is discouraged [04:08] craig: much nices than using a browser... can be paused or restarted if connection is lost [04:08] nicer* [04:08] Actually KGet appears to be much faster than Wget anyways on this PC... [04:08] Errr: I meant to say KTorrent... [04:09] craig: i have use kget some, but not that familiar with it. i would have assumed that at least to some extent, it was just a wget frontend [04:09] elijah: oh.. [04:09] jmichaelx: Am i doing any ettiquites misatakes? [04:09] craig: yeah, torrenting can be much faster [04:09] wer: not at all...... sorry, i am just doing several things at once [04:10] jmichaelx: Oh.. no its fine. And thanks for reminding about kdesudo over gksudo :) [04:11] Now if only they had a .jigdo file available & jigdo came pre-installed: hmm: that might be a good feature request for the upcoming *buntus releases... [04:11] craig: i've never used jigdo, but it seems to me that jigdo downloads were once available, and possibly still are [04:12] I only wish they would fix that horrible broken Jigdo-file GUI front-end...: the AMD64 one is missing in both dirs... [04:12] craig: Could you link me to the iso download link? [04:13] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/10.10/beta/. [04:13] craig: 32/64? intel? [04:13] 64. [04:15] Whenever MacPorts tries to build the Jigdo GUI front-end I can't get it to work right in 10.4.11 or 10.5.8... [04:15] torrent is working perfect with me here [04:15] No: the .jigdo file is misssing... [04:16] I love using Jigdo for long Fedora Core or Debian Stable/Testing downloads... [04:17] craig: you will have to use zsync.. its pretty good [04:18] craig:you will have to untar if you wish to use that client [04:18] What the heck is zsync...? Another Jigdo UI? [04:18] wer jmichaelx: got it [04:19] I downloaded ntfs-config and it worked [04:19] What kind of iso image of Kubuntu do I need for installation on an EFI configuration? [04:19] elijah: Thats great :) [04:22] craig: Do you have zsync installed? [04:22] No: what is it exactly? [04:22] craig: I tested zsync on the beta release and its working [04:23] and speed is perfect as well [04:23] I just want a GUI for Jigdo for Mac OS X... [04:23] Oh.. [04:23] Which os you are now on? [04:24] That doesn't matter: both of my Macs are also equipped with DVD burners... [04:24] So if you need xubuntu, i can suggest for zsync now [04:25] for mac as well [04:25] !info zsync |craig [04:25] None: zsync (source: zsync): client-side implementation of the rsync algorithm. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.1-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 104 kB, installed size 244 kB [04:26] No: Jigdo is wget based so that won't exactly work with jigdo-file... [04:27] craig: I'm quite confused now. What do you need exactly? Xubuntu beta 10.10 release iso right? [04:27] No: I need a working cross-platform GUI front-end to jigdo-file... [04:28] craig:for? [04:28] I'm trying to avoid using the Terminal whenever possible... [04:29] craig: is your mac intel based? [04:30] Nope: PowerPC... [04:30] craig:http://jigdoosx.berlios.de/downloads [04:31] I've tried that too: it's horribly broken... [04:31] AquaJidgo? [04:31] in binary [04:31] Yes: broken too. [04:32] did you check file size downloaded to be same as intended? [04:32] Yeah: Only the CLI jigdo-file works for me without stalling mid-way through. [04:32] elijah: Why you had to go for ntfs-config? [04:32] Even though mount iso is marked as implemented in Nautilus that doesn't mean KDE and dolphin right -->> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/194/ [04:33] wer: Why? Cuz I was desperate for a solution! :) [04:33] Now I am trying to eaisly mount iso images [04:33] elijah: Yah.. but okay.. thats good :) [04:33] Dolphin should do this out of the box [04:34] wer: Why, was there a better way? [04:34] elijah: whats your question exactly? [04:34] I want to double click an ISO and have it mount [04:34] elijah: Do you have ark? [04:35] I went to Dolphin config > services > downloaded mountiso and it doesn't work [04:35] elijah: oh to have it mount.. [04:35] I don't know what Ark is? [04:35] elijah: if you want to open iso to see contents thn its easy with Ark-KDE archiving tool. [04:35] maybe mountiso doesn't work with new Kubuntu [04:36] I guess that sort of works, but ideally I would like it as a disk on the left side of Dolphin [04:36] If you want to mount.. there is an easy way [04:37] Ok, ark is on my context menu [04:37] That works for now [04:37] Hold [04:38] I can suggest for mounting it via scripts other via terminal commands.. what do you prefer? [04:38] Else there is a GUI based to mount image file using Gmount-iso [04:41] elijah: ?? [04:43] wer: Neither of those are what I am looking for, I am looking for double click ideally, worst case right click contextual menu. [04:44] elijah: Use Gmountiso from package then [04:44] elijah: Its what you need [04:45] wer: K, it's installed [04:45] wer: Where is it located? [04:45] !info gmountiso | elijah [04:45] elijah: gmountiso (source: gmountiso): This is Gmountiso, a PyGTK GUI to mount your cd images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-0ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 16 kB, installed size 176 kB [04:45] system tools [04:46] in System from applications [04:46] elijah: It worked for you? [04:47] wer: Closer, it shows in "open with" and I click it then hit mount and it throws error, "an error occured not found" [04:47] mount point is blank [04:47] elijah: Could you find gmountiso from Applications>System? [04:48] wer: Yes [04:48] wer: It gives the same screen as context menu [04:48] elijah: Same screen as context menu? [04:49] elijah: Do you see option to chose image file, mount point? [04:49] wer: Yes, when I open via system tools it gives me the same screen as when i open through context menu [04:49] yeah, I see all those [04:49] When I open through context menu ut files in the image file path [04:49] I hit mount, then it gives error [04:49] elijah: What mount point point did you choose? [04:50] mount point is blank [04:50] elijah: lol.. how will it mount then? [04:51] wer: I don't know [04:51] Well.. its not exactly you wish to have as in nautilus but its very close to that [04:51] I tried entering a path but that didn't work [04:51] What path did you type? [04:51] Can I install Nautilus in KDE? [04:51] yes [04:51] sudo apt-get install nautilus [04:52] but its not advisabel [04:52] I typed /media and /home/elijah/Videos [04:52] The package whih we works as well [04:52] neither worked [04:52] hold on [04:52]
