| * XuMuK is away: отстутствую))* | 00:20 | |
| * XuMuK is back (gone 00:02:46) | 00:22 | |

| James147 | for what program? | 00:24 |
| James147 | owner: and whats the output f "uname -m"? | 00:25 |
| owner | where can I find that info? | 00:29 |
| James147 | owner: open a terminal and type "uname -m" and hit enter, tell me what it says | 00:29 |
| owner | I'm not really good with computers and I don't know where to look for a terminal. | 00:35 |
| owner | That is why I am here | 00:36 |
| darkdelusions | Open a term Kmenu>System>Terminal | 00:37 |
| darkdelusions | Once it opens type in uname -m | 00:37 |
| James147 | (or press alt+f2 > type "ternimal" press enter, then type "uname -m" in the window that appears | 00:39 |
| darkdelusions | that works to | 00:39 |
| darkdelusions | do /exec command work in quassel? | 00:39 |
| James147 | ^^ terminal sorry :) | 00:42 |
| owner | what tab do I go under | 00:45 |
| James147 | tab? | 00:45 |
| darkdelusions | just hit alt+f2 and type terminal and hit enter :) | 00:47 |
| oldirty | or 'konsole' | 00:47 |
| owner | It brought up a window with 5 tabs; general, display, local resources, programs, and performance. | 01:00 |
| darkdelusions | Humm | 01:01 |
| darkdelusions | so you hit alt+f2 and typed terminal? | 01:02 |
| * James147 cannot think what that window could be... | 01:03 | |
| James147 | owner: are you running kubuntu or ubuntu | 01:03 |
| James147 | ? | 01:03 |
| darkdelusions | James147: its the "resource manager" | 01:03 |
| James147 | darkdelusions: still cannot find it :0 | 01:04 |
| darkdelusions | James147: Well he is using Quassel so I am gonna assume that he is on KDE | 01:05 |
| owner | I am running kubuntu James, and thats exactly what I did darkdelusions | 01:05 |
| darkdelusions | owner: Then click on the K in the lower left | 01:06 |
| darkdelusions | then click on system | 01:06 |
| James147 | owner: what happens if you try it with "konsole" instead of "terminal"? | 01:06 |
| darkdelusions | amd scroll threw the list and find terminal\Konsole | 01:06 |
| owner | it says x86-64 | 01:08 |
| James147 | hm... then you should be able to run 32 or 64 bit programs... what program are you tring to install? | 01:09 |

| amichair | does krfb work properly in lucid? (I know it doesn't in previous releases...) | 13:50 |
| === ping__luce is now known as faLUCE | ||
| BluesKaj | amichair, never got it to work either | 13:58 |
| === kronos is now known as Guest18213 | ||
| amichair | BluesKaj: bummer, I hoped they had it fixed by now. It's been disfunctional for years... | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, I haven't been able to make it work on lucid | 13:58 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: so x11vnc it is? | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, are you doing a true remote sharing or just over a Lan ? | 14:00 |
| amichair | I'm gonna need it for very remote sharing :-) | 14:01 |
| faLUCE | Hi. I'm using 10.04 on an ACER aspire notebook. I connect to the www with a usb modem, which I turn on as a modem with usb_modeswitch. It is seen as /dev/ttyUSB4. Unfortunately, if I plug in another usb device, I loose the connection of the modem and it doesn't appear anymore as /dev/ttyUSB4 ... what can I do? thanks | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | x11vnc amichair ? | 14:02 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: isn't that the common alternative vnc server? | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, dunno ..I'm asking not suggesting | 14:03 |
| amichair | or rather, krfb is an alternative to x11vnc :-) | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, do you have a static IP ..somebody told me it's a requirement or some dns tracker at least | 14:05 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: I do, but there's no problem using any dynamic dns either. | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, I tried a remote connect to my server with my laptop when I was visiting my son, but it wouldn't work | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | using krfb | 14:10 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: as long as you know the IP address and have port forwarding/firewall set up, I don't think there should be a problem | 14:11 |
| amichair | oh, well... krfb doesn't work then | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | was trying to retrieve some movies | 14:11 |
| amichair | but x11vnc should | 14:11 |
| amichair | or tightvnc, or one of the others | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, well goodluck, let me know if you're successful | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, which port should be used? | 14:14 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: the default is 5900, but you can use any, as long as you tell both server and client which to use | 14:15 |

| amichair | BluesKaj: seems to be working ok with x11vnc. I think I'll tunnel over ssh to avoid messing with router/firewall, and for some added security (vnc security is a bit of an afterthought) | 14:42 |
| amichair | right now I'm testing from LAN | 14:42 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: as simple as http://kubuntuguide.org/Lucid#X11VNC_Server | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, ok thanks , just installing x11vnc, now | 14:45 |
| amichair | (I took out the loopbg param since I didn't quite get it, and it leaves lots of ghost processes around, and it works without it) | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, will I need ssvnc too ? | 14:46 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: I don't know ssvnc | 14:46 |
| === claydoh is now known as Guest44612 | ||
| BluesKaj | loopbg param? | 14:47 |
| amichair | in the instructions from the link above | 14:47 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| amichair | is there a standard(-ish) directory to put little scripts under the home dir? | 14:58 |
| Unksi | amichair: never heard of such | 14:59 |
| Unksi | unless its a script that is intended to run when logged in | 14:59 |
| amichair | Unksi: Nope, just little bash scripts, etc. No biggie, ~/scripts will do. | 15:04 |
| Unksi | ok :p not a bad idea^ | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, I don't see the command to remove theloopbg param | 15:08 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: the sample command in that link I gave u before, shows a command line with a -loopbg parameter. I just removed it from the command I ran. | 15:09 |
| amichair | but if you figure out what it's for and find it useful, you can leave it :-) | 15:10 |
| === 64MAANT1E is now known as BajK | ||
| BluesKaj | amichair, I ran that command and it kept repeating the loopbg , it wouldn't stop til I exit the terminal | 15:11 |
| amichair | yes, I also saw some printout in a loop, and a whole lot of x11vnc processes created | 15:12 |
| amichair | I killed them, then ran the command again without -loopbg, and used it that way | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok amichair I tried the startup script , but there's no response | 15:17 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: response where? | 15:18 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: for starters, try running the command manually (without the scripts), and try to connect from within the LAN - does that work? | 15:18 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: i.e., just run 'x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -display :0' in the console | 15:19 |
| amichair | (assuming you ran the set password command already) | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | got the x11vnc gui up but the font is so small I can't read it :) | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | I'm on our 42" tv/monitor | 15:21 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: is that the client or server? | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | it would be the client if I'm running it from here , right | 15:22 |
| amichair | btw if you look at the x11vnc man, there's a gazillion options, some about scaling and resolution stuff... but I just used krdc on a netbook as the client for the test, and used some heavy scrollbaring to move around the remote desktop - it's good enough for me | 15:23 |
| amichair | some vnc clients also have client-side scaling etc. | 15:24 |
| amichair | though scaling can indeed make everything too small as to be unreadable | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | well, justtesting the client, obviously I need to install both client and server on the other linux machines on our lan | 15:24 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: in any case, if you got the basic thing going, you can take it on from there :-) | 15:25 |
| amichair | just remember vnc itself has no encryption and a weak authentication scheme, so it's good to wrap it in something else (ssh, ssl, whatever works for you) | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | amichair, yeah I have ssh working well | 15:36 |
| amichair | BluesKaj: great :-) | 15:37 |

| rin | hm okay, thankyou... i think so | 16:55 |
| rin | but im voll afraid with the cd version... is perfekt for me and all my devises is full suported | 16:56 |
| amichair | and there's nothing on the DVD that you can't just install from the repos anyway. | 16:57 |
| amichair | I'm actually not sure who uses the DVD... for multiple installations (where saving b/w would really matter) you can make a custom image in OEM setup mode anyway... | 16:58 |

| delight | would it have harmed that much to support the LTS (lucid) with another parallel kde (4.5.2) release ... after advertising/encouraging ppl to try kde 4.5.1 on lucid ? | 22:05 |
| James147 | delight: why no just use the backports? | 22:07 |
| delight | James147: i do .. .but there won't be no 4.5.2 on backports ... as i read the annoucement on kubuntu.org | 22:08 |
| delight | did i miss something ? | 22:08 |
| James147 | delight: ahh, yeah, dosnt look like kde 4.5.2 will be on lucid... but if you want to use it you may as well just upgrade to maverick | 22:09 |
| James147 | not sure why 4.5.2 isnt on lucid though... | 22:10 |
| delight | James147: i know ... but not as long as it RC ... not even 2 - 3 weeks after release ;) ... <<< thats experience ... it needs some time till all repositories settle to the next release ;) | 22:11 |
| delight | 3rd party repos | 22:11 |
| James147 | delight: but considering taht the backports arnt actually supported by kubuntu (even though the devs do work on them) there is no obligation to put anything in them :) | 22:11 |
| delight | maybe even longer ... i got it thou on some boxes of mine ... but not on my laptop ... <<< daily work ... need to stay productive | 22:12 |
| James147 | delight: yeah, them it might be best to wait abit them... do you really need 4.5.2 that badly, its only maintence release :) | 22:12 |
| delight | James147: not really ... i just found it kinda sad to not make it a parallel release like with the 4.5.0 and 4.5.1 before ... | 22:13 |
| KukuNut | i don't understand either | 22:13 |
| delight | there is this dbus problem anyways ... luckily i got an nvidia ... so the open-source prob didn't hit me :) ... not on my working machine ... | 22:14 |
| KukuNut | 10.04 is LTS right? | 22:14 |
| delight | would be great thou ... esp. as it got some performance improvements | 22:14 |
| delight | KukuNut: yes | 22:14 |
| James147 | KukuNut: thats right, but that only means security/major bugs will get fixed... kubuntu never upgrades a major package version during a release... which is why you need to use the backports ppa | 22:15 |
| KukuNut | James147: you mean 4.5.2 is a maintenance release of 4.5.1? so why noy apply to 4.5.1 Lucid? | 22:15 |
| KukuNut | *not | 22:15 |
| delight | funny thing about it is ... its a LTS and while gnome gets maintainance love .... getting the minor release updates on LTS kde stucks with the version | 22:15 |
| delight | KukuNut: well the point is 4.5.1 was never officially released for lucid | 22:16 |
| James147 | KukuNut: I am not sure why they ahvent, might have had a problem with running it in lucid, ut I havent heard anything about it yet... maby Riddell could explain? :) | 22:16 |
| delight | so there is no thing like maintainance support for that ... but its kinda sad ... | 22:16 |
| delight | on the other hand i don't understand why there is not maintainance releases of kde 4.4.x | 22:16 |
| delight | i think 4.4.6 is the actual version ... if i don't make a mistake on this | 22:17 |
| delight | oh its 4.4.5 | 22:18 |
| KukuNut | James147: IIR the announcement seems to imply 10.10 is the way to go | 22:19 |
| KukuNut | IIRC | 22:19 |
| delight | KukuNut: its allways just gnomes ;) http://goo.gl/AC5K :-D *hehe | 22:24 |

| James147 | RadSurfer: yes, that will install most of the build tools you need :) | 23:02 |
| RadSurfer | Ok. So far this installation went REMARKABLY smooth for me!! | 23:02 |
| sjm | hello every one | 23:03 |
| sjm | how can i kwow which version i had installed on my computer | 23:04 |
| James147 | sjm: version of what? kubuntu? "cat /etc/issue" will tell you that | 23:05 |
| sjm | yeah, the version of my ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| frogonwheels | lol tip - if you've got a wireless mouse/keyboard and you're gonna reinsert the logitech modules to get the mouse working - do rmmod/insertmod on one command line - one you've removed the modules, the keyboard doesn't work :) | 23:07 |
| Riddell | RadSurfer: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get build-essential | 23:07 |
| RadSurfer | yes, I got it. Thanks. | 23:08 |
| RadSurfer | testing gcc now. | 23:08 |
| James147 | frogonwheels: also dont disable usb in the bios when you only have a usb keyboard :D | 23:08 |
| RadSurfer | yippee! success. | 23:08 |
| frogonwheels | James147: ahh yes - will remember that one :) | 23:09 |
| frogonwheels | James147: at least I have one ps/2 keyboard left floating about.. | 23:10 |
| James147 | frogonwheels: same here, or I would have had to pull that battery on the motherboard to reset the bios ;P .. but anyway tahts getting offtopic | 23:10 |
| chaaya | in transition from gnome to kde under 10.04, i'm in a situation where nautilus still boots and provides a desktop -- obscured by KDE's desktop. You only see it for a moment on shutdown. any idea what's starting nautilus in this mode? | 23:23 |
| delight | chaaya: check in systemsettings for the startup process ... maybe there is nautilus ... besides ... if you don't start nautilus with the option --no-desktop | 23:32 |
| delight | it tryes managing your desktop | 23:32 |
| RadSurfer | I just installed vlc. Where can I get the other codecs I might need please? | 23:32 |
| delight | so either one of both | 23:32 |
| delight | RadSurfer: just try installing kubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:33 |
| RadSurfer | what all does that add? | 23:33 |
| delight | this is a little more then you need ... but usually its placed good | 23:33 |
| delight | it will show you ... | 23:33 |
| delight | you have to say "Y" before the install starts | 23:33 |
| delight | ;) | 23:33 |
| delight | besides for real codec support inclusive encoded dvds etc. you need medibuntu | 23:34 |
| RadSurfer | why does/did that ask to remove vlc? | 23:34 |
| delight | really ?? wow | 23:34 |
| delight | never saw that i got vlc installed in parallel | 23:34 |
| chaaya | delight: am checking now... however, this is a transition from gnome to kde, so there is probably some stuff set up by gnome desktop running | 23:35 |
| RadSurfer | next item I use alot is ffmpeg, recommendations? | 23:35 |
| delight | i usually install tovid ... which brings in a bunch of media dependencies ... | 23:36 |
| delight | k9copy is another one ;) | 23:36 |
| delight | well thats just my way <<< to lazy to go one by one | 23:36 |
| RadSurfer | something I read suggested that 'restricted' package removed vlc, evidently in error. | 23:39 |
| RadSurfer | so far so good. ffmpeg next. | 23:40 |
| RadSurfer | WOWSERS! this has really come along way! | 23:41 |
| RadSurfer | I can remember when playing flv's would crash linux! | 23:41 |
| chaaya | RadSurfer: bad memory ? | 23:42 |
| RadSurfer | not for me. just in general. | 23:42 |
| RadSurfer | certain media formats would really do harm to some systems. | 23:42 |
| RadSurfer | probably already 'damaged' ones | 23:43 |
| RadSurfer | how do I get flash? | 23:47 |
| RadSurfer | apparently I can't just save it to hdd? | 23:47 |
| RadSurfer | I got it. | 23:48 |
| sjm | hello | 23:53 |
| sjm | is there any dictionary like easy lingo or babylon compatable with ububtu so i can use it just by press ctrl and mouse?? | 23:55 |
| RadSurfer | this PC has an nvidia card. I think there's a glitch somewhere.... | 23:55 |
| chaaya | what is it that launches nautilus to to provide the desktop during startup? | 23:55 |
| RadSurfer | Thank you for your assistance. So far so good. | 23:57 |
