[00:00] <iNfRaC00L> yes i did.. only Internal Audio Analog Stereo there
[00:00] <iNfRaC00L> nvm i can still use alsamixer if i need to . thanx anyway
[00:00] <Se7en> hm ...
[00:01] <Se7en> yw
[00:02] <Se7en> sorry , not that brilliant with KDE
[00:02] <iNfRaC00L> are you satisfied with mint
[00:03] <iNfRaC00L> it runs gnome , right?
[00:03] <Se7en> ohyea ..absolutely
[00:03] <anj_> isn't removing pulseaudio an option?
[00:03] <Se7en> actually it has all sort of flavors
[00:03] <iNfRaC00L> anj_:  and that leaves me with what audio support
[00:04] <Se7en> Fluxbox Xfce KDE Gnome LXDE
[00:04] <anj_> I have it uninstalled and no problems with audio
[00:04] <iNfRaC00L> anj_: will try
[00:04] <anj_> but I do have a soundcard with hardware-mixing
[00:05] <iNfRaC00L> Se7en: do you update offten?
[00:07] <Se7en> iNfRaC00L: I suggest you try that first on a Live CD
[00:07] <Se7en> just in case
[00:07] <Se7en> you mean like a system update ?
[00:07] <iNfRaC00L> what I've learned in KDE that if i works fine - don't update
[00:08] <iNfRaC00L> yeah
[00:08] <frogonwheels> iNfRaC00L: where's your sense of adventure?
[00:08] <iNfRaC00L> i am a noob though
[00:08] <iNfRaC00L> :D
[00:08] <Se7en> well I'm using the Stock KDE that came with Mint so ..
[00:08] <iNfRaC00L> on backup drive
[00:09] <Se7en> <------------ total n00b
[00:09] <anj_> anyone who doesn't have a laptop should just get a soundblaster audigy 2 zs or something
[00:09] <anj_> er, for some rather variable value of "or something"
[00:10] <iNfRaC00L> yea, but i have that onboard thingy for now
[00:10] <Se7en> KDE played well with my intel soundcard
[00:10] <Se7en> which one you use iNfRaC00L ?
[00:10] <anj_> my onboard thingy still had 5 channels, so I didn't have to muck around with sound servers
[00:11] <iNfRaC00L> Intel HDA Audio
[00:11] <frogonwheels> anj_: does a SB Live!  (EMU10k1) count ?   ;P
[00:11] <iNfRaC00L> 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[00:12] <Se7en> Audio:     Card Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller driver HDA Intel BusID: 00:1b.0
[00:12] <Se7en>            Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Version 1.0.20
[00:12] <anj_> well, when you run "aplay -l", you can see how many hardware channels you have
[00:12] <Se7en> almost the same
[00:12] <iNfRaC00L> Se7en: one
[00:13] <iNfRaC00L> card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
[00:20] <anj_> can anyone install KDM themes?
[00:20] <anj_> from the system settings module?
[00:20] <anj_> eep, floodbot is gonna get me if I continue like this
[00:21] <James147> anj_: via the "get new stuff" button?
[00:22] <anj_> James147: in KDE 4.5.1, system settings -> login screen -> theme -> Get new theme
[00:22] <anj_> but it does bring up a window titled "Get Hot New Stuff"
[00:22] <James147> anj_: yeah, quite a few of the themes dont work with that method... its improving slowly over time but the ones that dont are best grabed directly from kde-look.org
[00:23] <iNfRaC00L> anj_:  it says installed but nothing happens
[00:23] <iNfRaC00L> no theme
[00:24] <anj_> yeah, it used to work before but now...
[00:25] <anj_> and *something* keeps killing my font settings
[00:25] <anj_> returning them to a very small point size ubuntu font
[00:25] <anj_> meh
[00:25] <anj_> nice font, though
[00:26] <iNfRaC00L> smiliar stuff happens to me lately
[00:26] <iNfRaC00L> are those thinmgs so often?
[00:26] <anj_> it started when I upgraded to the Maverick release candidate
[00:27] <Se7en> how do I alter that bouncing icon right nxt my cursor ?
[00:27] <James147> anj_: try creating a new user, see if the fonts behave right on that... if they do then its a problem with one of the config files
[00:28] <anj_> James147, might try that later. any idea *which* config file it might be?
[00:29] <James147> anj_: not sure, but what I generally do is rename the .kde folder on the orignal user then test it... if it works then then rename it back and lookin inside that :)
[00:29] <anj_> Se7en: in KDE 4.5.1: bring up System Settings, go to Application and System Notifications, go to Launch Feedback
[00:30] <iNfRaC00L> anj_:  bouncing cursor -> Common Appearance->Application and System Notifications->Launch Feedback
[00:30] <Se7en> thank you
[00:30] <anj_> James147: ugh! :)
[00:30] <anj_> James147: too much stress for too little now. :p
[00:31] <James147> anj_: note that its best to rename .kde when you arent loged in :)  (at least in the gui)
[00:31] <anj_> James147: yah I just suspect it's a package being upgraded that resets the fonts
[00:32] <anj_> just had about a million upgrades that may have caused this
[00:34] <anj_> oh, and how about the quick access widget? if I put any of those on my desktop and set their location to (say) smb:/ or some FTP directory, they crash plasma-desktop every time. Poo.
[00:37] <iNfRaC00L> do you have that desktop-folder widget?
[00:37] <anj_> have it? yes, but not using one
[00:37] <anj_> er, wait, what's desktop-folder?
[00:38] <iNfRaC00L> i think that's name of the widget... nvm
[00:38] <anj_> folder view
[00:38] <anj_> quick access
[00:38] <anj_> not sure desktop-folder exists.
[00:39] <iNfRaC00L> folder view, right.. anyway if u middleclick right below  + sign it opens folders in tooltip-like window
[00:40] <iNfRaC00L> discovered it by accident
[00:40] <anj_> if you use the right plasma desktop theme, you can even see the "invisible" icon that's under the "+" sign
[00:40] <anj_> it's an up-arrow
[00:41] <anj_> and a left-click will do
[00:41] <iNfRaC00L> yes it truly works, i just see no icon :)
[00:42] <anj_> yah it depends on the theme if you can see the icon.
[00:42] <anj_> I guess they haven't all been updated for this feature yet.
[00:42] <iNfRaC00L> and i thought i've discovered an easter egg :)
[00:43] <anj_> it confused me for a while...
[00:43] <anj_> the folder-popup thingie was automatic for a while, now it's not anymore
[00:43] <anj_> now you have to click on the up-arrow icon (which is invisible in some themes)
[00:45] <iNfRaC00L> uf, getting late . gotta sleep . cu l8ta
[01:46] <lubun2> i'm running the kubuntu netbook live and I don't see the global menu..how to get it?
[01:46] <lubun2> I thought this is by default?
[01:48] <Se7en> I dont think that Netbook versions have Kickoff by defaukt lubun2
[01:49] <Se7en> not quite sure of that though
[01:49] <lubun2> look at what's new for 10.10 in kubuntu.org
[02:02] <deborah> i am using kubuntu 8.10. is it better to do wait for 10 Oct or should i upgrade to the latest now?
[02:04] <deborah> or does it even matter?
[02:04] <Se7en> My suggestion is wait for the release , updating may be a stressful process ya know
[02:04] <moetunes> deborah:  from 8.10 you can only upgrade to 9.04
[02:04] <deborah> and then from 904 i can go to 10?
[02:04] <Se7en> ohyea what he said ^^^
[02:04] <gasorian> hola
[02:05] <gasorian> alguien de El Salvador??
[02:05] <moetunes> deborah:  to get one of the 10. releases you will have to reinstall or upgrade through all the releases in between
[02:05] <moetunes> !pt | gasorian
[02:05] <deborah> As long as it doesnt take too long. Someone said it didnt take long.
[02:06] <moetunes> deborah:  it depends on your download speed
[02:06] <Se7en> well except when its a LTS version
[02:06] <deborah> cable
[02:07] <deborah> i am downloading 9.04 now, it will take 42 minutes. That is pretty good.
[02:07] <deborah> What is an LTS version?
[02:07] <moetunes> deborah:  personally I would reinstall to get the benefits of the newer ext4 filesystem
[02:07] <moetunes> !lts
[02:08] <deborah> Okay. That is what my friend said. I didnt need to wait for the next one on the 10th. I could just upgrade to it now.
[02:08] <moetunes> deborah:  to upgrade you use the upgrade manager not the install iso
[02:09] <deborah> Thanks Moetunes. I found it. :)
[02:09] <moetunes> :]
[02:11] <deborah> Is there a big difference btween the 4 thingy, and now?
[02:11] <moetunes> not so much - it uses kde 4.5.1 instead of kde4.4
[02:12] <moetunes>  http://kubuntu.org has the news on the differences
[02:13] <deborah> Thanks again
[02:13] <moetunes> np :]
[02:15] <deborah> Can i do a clean install using the package manager?
[02:16] <moetunes> not afaik ...
[02:16] <moetunes> !install
[02:18] <deborah> I will read them. I have an evening class that i need to get back to. Thank you.
[02:18] <moetunes> luck :]
[02:19] <deborah> Thanks You are very helpful. :)
[02:25] <`DT`> i keep having problems running a program. keeps telling me "permission denied"
[02:26] <`DT`> i'm the file owner. i have full permission for it to everyone, and it still doesn't work
[02:26] <`DT`> made it excutable and konsole says the file doesn't exist
[02:27] <`DT`> so....any ideas? it's the ShoutCast DNAS server i'm having problems with
[02:27] <moetunes> I would use the tab button to autocomplete the path to make sure
[02:27] <moetunes> !tab
[02:27] <`DT`> doesn't do anything
[02:28] <moetunes> what does   ls -l    return for the file?
[02:29] <`DT`> it shows me the two files in the directory. one is an configuration file and the other is the program
[02:31] <moetunes> can you post the relevant return here?
[02:32] <`DT`> lemme log in from that computer
[02:33] <`DT`> need to install a decent IRC client cause quassel sucks
[02:35] <``DT``> http://pastebin.org/71739
[02:36] <``DT``> ]/nick `DT`
[02:36] <``DT``> ...
[02:37] <moetunes>  -rw-rw-rw- 1 dt dt 1486496 2010-02-22 15:27 sc_serv   - says it is not executable
[02:38] <brandon___> hi i need help please
[02:38] <`DT`> moetunes: one sec, i'll make it excutable again and see what it does
[02:38] <brandon___> i play a game called cabal and i need help instaling it on kubuntu
[02:39] <moetunes> brandon___:  in here you just ask your question and if someone knows they'll repond
[02:39] <moetunes> k
[02:39] <`DT`> moetunes: http://pastebin.org/71773
[02:39] <`DT`> says it's excutable, then in the next line says it doesn't exist
[02:42] <moetunes> `DT`:  weird - try running    file ./sc_serv
[02:42] <moetunes> file is a program btw
[02:42] <`DT`> moetunes: http://pastebin.org/71827
[02:43] <`DT`> it's a 32bit program...could it be a problem i'm running it on a 64bit machine?
[02:43] <`DT`> (cause i know of several winblows programs like that)
[02:45] <moetunes> that could very well be it - you could check the apps website/forum for that info - I don't know the app
[02:45] <`DT`> nothing there :/
[02:46] <`DT`> ok, skipping that, on to the next: can i install an RPM file?
[02:46] <moetunes> lets see what google will turn up
[02:46] <moetunes> there is normally a deb for most apps if there is an rpm - iirc there is an app that converts rpms to debs in the repos
[02:47] <`DT`> ok, will look for that
[02:47] <`DT`> or should i just use the tar.gz?
[02:47] <moetunes> rpm2deb or something like that - I've never needed to use it just heard it mentioned
[02:48] <moetunes> I would use the tar.gz and checkinstall to install it
[02:48] <moetunes> !checkinstall
[02:48] <`DT`> ok, thanks
[02:48] <`DT`> going to look in to the other program now
[02:50] <moetunes> `DT`:  do you have ia32 installed to run 32bit apps?
[02:51] <moetunes> !info ia32-libs
[02:51] <moetunes> !find ia32
[02:51] <`DT`> if lucid is 10.04, then nope
[02:56] <moetunes> !info icecast
[02:56] <moetunes> seems shoutcast has trouble on 64bit
[02:56] <`DT`> bah
[02:57] <`DT`> see if i can't get it to run on a 32 bit i got lying around then
[02:58] <`DT`> actually...i might have gotten it ton install from a .deb using alien to make one from the rpm
[02:58] <izinucs> Is upgrading 10.04 stock to 4.5.x pretty painless?  should I expect issues?
[03:00] <moetunes> izinucs:  from what I've seen on here it is a good idea to try it with a new user first
[03:00] <izinucs> moetunes: new user?  isn't it a system wide upgrade?
[03:01] <moetunes> izinucs:  it only upgrades the kde part
[03:01] <moetunes> izinucs:  but it can mess things up in the dot files having two diff kde configs afaik
[03:02] <izinucs> moetunes: ah.. so on boot do I switch "sessions" to the newer one?
[03:03] <moetunes> izinucs:  in your home folder now you have config files for kde4.4 - using a new user will not mix the config files for 4.5 with the ones you have for 4.4
[03:03] <moetunes> so make a new user is best afaik
[03:03] <izinucs> moetunes: so if I go back to the old user I might have issues with the dot files is what you're saying.. right?
[03:04] <`DT`> ok...anyone know anything about logging i to CVS?
[03:04] <moetunes> izinucs:  yep
[03:04] <moetunes> izinucs:   FAQ: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FAQ
[03:04] <`DT`> nvm, gonna mess with it later
[03:04] <`DT`> thanks for the help moetunes
[03:05] <moetunes> np :]
[03:05] <izinucs> moetunes: gotchya .. pretty similar to a release upgrade that get's borked.. wonderfull.. of course I could take all the dot files and put them into a zip folder
[03:05] <moetunes> izinucs:  you would just need to do that with the kde ones
[03:06] <izinucs> moetunes: not the gnome ones..
[03:06] <izinucs> moetunes: that link is pretty generic.. nothing specific that I could find for upgrading to 4.5.x
[03:06] <moetunes> izinucs:  nope 'cause kde doesn't write to them
[03:06] <moetunes> o
[03:07] <moetunes> I haven't bothered with 4.5 yet
[03:07] <izinucs> moetunes: I'm curious why during a kde upgrade it wouldn't also upgrade the dot files.. upgrading from one release to another does.
[03:07] <izinucs> typically
[03:08] <moetunes> izinucs:  I don't know - I am just going off what I've seen on here
[03:08] <moetunes> I've never done it myself
[03:08] <izinucs> ah... k
[03:09] <moetunes> izinucs:  you could again in a few hours when more ppl are awake
[03:09] <moetunes> *try in here
[03:10] <izinucs> k.. thanks
[04:02] <psykatog> when using wget, is there a way to specify where I want the file to be downloaded?
[04:03] <moetunes> I just cd to the dir
[04:03] <psykatog> easy enough, thanks
[04:04] <moetunes> there's a -O option as well
[04:59] <lucidfox> After an upgrade to 10.10, the dbus system service and network-manager no longer launch at startup

[11:19] <bigboss> helllo!
[11:21] <bigboss> is it possible to install nimbuzz on kubuntu
[11:22] <moetunes> is it in the repos?
[11:22] <moetunes> !find nimbuzz
[11:22] <moetunes> nope
[11:23] <bigboss> what does "repos" means moetunes
[11:23] <moetunes> !repos
[11:23] <bigboss> but why?
[11:23] <moetunes> but why what?
[11:24] <bigboss> but why there isn't nimbuzz on kubuntu
[11:25] <moetunes> since it is not in the repositories you will need to find a deb or tar.gz and build it and use checkinstall to install it
[11:25] <moetunes> I don't know why not - maybe it isn't a popular app...
[11:25] <moetunes> !checkinstall
[11:28] <moetunes> bbiab

[15:59] <Lars_G> I am trying not to use desktop effects since it produces some troubles with my card right now it seems...
[16:00] <Lars_G> but, when desktop effects are off, the current application widget will only list some/main windows
[16:00] <Lars_G> with desktop effects on, I can click it or use ctrl-f9 to show an expose like view of all open windows....
[16:01] <Lars_G> is there any way I can force the current application widget to list ALL windows? or to view all windows without having to turn desktop effects on?

[17:39] <snarkster> do any of you know how to connect to lcd flat panel tv
[17:39] <snarkster> via hdmi
[17:42] <snarkster> im trying to connect my Pavilion dv7 with ATI Radeon gpu to my Phillips 42" via HDMI krandr sees the tv, but does not work.
[17:44] <phoenix_> need help with kbluetooth
[17:45] <phoenix_> not able to send files to my mobie from computer
[17:45] <snarkster> phoenix_: yah it doesnt work
[17:46] <snarkster> cant send files to mine either
[17:46] <phoenix_> snarkster: any other working method?
[17:46] <phoenix_> snarkster: even bluedevil is not working
[17:46] <snarkster> yah i know
[17:47] <snarkster> ive got a G1 with bluetooth file transfer working, still cant send or receive files
[17:48] <phoenix_> snarkster: i tried in windows , the windows default soft didnt work but the soft that came with the bluetooth that is bluesoliel works
[17:48] <phoenix_> snarkster: but bluesoliel stopped support after 9.10
[17:48] <snarkster> right works in windows just not kubuntu/ubuntu
[17:49] <BajK_> hmm... ubuntu's installer is much more elegant than kubuntuS
[17:49] <phoenix_> BajK_: i agree
[17:50] <BajK_> that "guess keyboard layout" is a real nice feature
[17:50] <BajK_> and I really like Ubuntu's overall color scheme much better than that washy, light, ugly KDE style^^
[17:50] <BajK_> It's sad that Kubuntu is just an Ubuntu with KDE while Ubuntu's gnome is so much improved and superior to the normal gnome
[17:51] <phoenix_> BajK_: ya i dont like the gray with light blue.
[17:51] <phoenix_> BajK_: but i like kde better than gnome for looks and functionalty
[17:52] <BajK_> Dark themes aren't mine either but that purple-orange-mix looks really good :) and the default Kde theme "oxygen" is just aweful in my eyes^^
[17:52] <BajK_> phoenix_: mee too but I consider Ubuntu more elegang than Kubuntu although I could never imagine working with gnome (been using KDE since 1999)
[17:52] <BajK_> and I miss those window snapping features. a computer without it is not usable for me anymore^^
[17:53] <phoenix_> BajK_: i like the performace of gnome
[17:53] <phoenix_> snarkster: did you find any workaround
[17:53] <snarkster> work around for bluetooth transfer?
[17:54] <phoenix_> snarkster: ya, sending files from computer to mobile
[17:54] <snarkster> ftp
[17:56] <BajK_> phoenix_: that is one of the only things i like. the performance. but I have 4 cores, so that does not matter^^ and also Ubuntu's gdm is so much more elegant.. reminds me of Windows Longhorn. Kubuntu's just sucks. You cannot even choose a user, you have to TYPE it in. (And no folks, there is NO login by default that gives you a field to click on)
[18:00] <phoenix_> BajK_: you can choose the user in kubuntu
[18:07] <BajK_> phoenix_: yes, but I have to enter its name
[18:07] <BajK_> his/her
[18:08] <BajK_> in ubuntu you can just click on it
[18:08] <phoenix_> BajK_:try using the default dialog
[18:08] <snarkster> later guys
[18:08] <BajK_> that looks ugly
[18:08] <BajK_> there is no themed one
[18:09] <phoenix_> BajK_: then use a different  login screen that shows users panel
[18:10] <BajK_> phoenix_: and why isn't there one by default?
[18:10] <phoenix_> BajK_: dont know
[18:17] <OSnotfound> I need a hand mounting some media, if anyone has time to help.
[18:20] <rork> OSnotfound: what's exactly your problem?
[18:21] <OSnotfound> I've got a password protected hard drive from a failed laptop.
[18:21] <OSnotfound> and a usb to sata adapter
[18:21] <OSnotfound> I know the password... but the kernel errors out on the device detection I'm assuming due to it being locked.
[18:23] <OSnotfound> Info fld=0x34bf5
[18:23] <OSnotfound> sr 2:0:1:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Illegal mode for this track
[18:23] <OSnotfound> sr 2:0:1:0: [sr0] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 03 4b f4 00 00 02 00
[18:26] <rork> I've got no idea about that, hang around, maybe someone will pick it up.
[18:28] <OSnotfound> no other choice really.... google isn't helping much on this one.
[18:34] <chuckf> OSnotfound: have you tried just pluging it into the sata connection on your MB? (I've had issues with USB to SATA before)
[18:37] <OSnotfound> no I haven't
[18:39] <NamShub> how can I listen to my USB turntable on my computer speaker?
[18:39] <NamShub> I know how to convert, but I'd like to basically send the input from my snd-usb to my sound card
[18:39] <jhutchins_lt> OSnotfound: Have you tried booting to the drive?
[18:40] <jhutchins_lt> NamShub: Your system sees the turntable as a soundcard?
[18:40] <OSnotfound> I was trying to do this without bringing my system down.
[18:40] <OSnotfound> ... seems like I have to unlock it with the bios
[18:40] <OSnotfound> hope this pos dell box can do it.
[18:40] <jhutchins_lt> Ah, which probably requires THAT particular BIOS.
[18:41] <OSnotfound> I hope not
[18:42] <OSnotfound> will pick this up in 10 mins. ganna plug this into the mainboard.
[18:42] <ahmed_> plz
[18:42] <ahmed_> can one help me
[18:43] <ahmed_> i can't logout
[18:43] <ahmed_> how can i fix that
[18:47] <avihay> you need to be more specific. is it just logout, or shutdown and reboot? you don't have the option to logout or you have, and when you use it it doesn't do anything?
[19:01] <OSnotfound> one drive connection an dhelp ticket later...
[19:02] <OSnotfound> The Dell bios *does* try to unlock the hard drive.
[19:02] <OSnotfound> However it does *not* accept the password.
[19:04] <OSnotfound> Are there any programs out there that might try to spin this hard drive up?
[19:06] <jhutchins_lt> OSnotfound: What we may be dealing with here is that the different bioses hash the password differently.
[19:08] <OSnotfound> It was from a laptop, I suppose it could have been tied to the TPM Chip as well... if it has one
[19:54] <Scunizi> Krita is loading but when you try to open a jpg it bombs and closes.. when started via cli there's lots of errors the first of which says "plugins should not have a 'lib' prefix: "libkritapart.so" ... then there's lots of errors about .so files not offering a qt_plugin_instance function.  How do I fix this?
[19:55] <anthony> hi im having trouble getting this game to work its called cabal and when i start it up it says Sorry This application cannot run under a viryual machine with the headline being Themida, as there anyway around this]
[19:55] <Scunizi> anthony: does viryual = virtual?
[19:55] <anthony> yes
[19:56] <anthony> sorry typo
[19:56] <anthony> im dislexic
[19:56] <Scunizi> so you're running this game in a vm of kubuntu?
[19:56] <anthony> yup
[19:56] <anthony> im usuing a stable version of wine
[19:57] <Scunizi> ah.. so it's a windows game, in a vm of kubuntu.. are you using virtualbox?
[19:57] <anthony> nope
[19:57] <Scunizi> what virtual machine are you using?
[19:57] <anthony> no idea all i installed was wine
[19:58] <Scunizi> no..no.. the kubuntu os is loaded in a virtual machine (as you said) .. to do that you have to use a program that will allow you to run a virtual machine.. what program is that?
[19:58] <anthony> uhh no clue
[19:58] <Scunizi> ok.. what's the host OS?
[19:59] <anthony> kubuntu
[19:59] <anthony> 9.04 i think
[19:59] <Scunizi> no.. from what you said that is the guest.. is the only OS on your computer kubuntu?
[19:59] <anthony> i have vista
[20:00] <anthony> partitioned side by side
[20:00] <Scunizi> ok.. now we're getting closer.. did you use wubi to install kubuntu?
[20:00] <Scunizi> so you have a dual boot?
[20:00] <anthony> i installed froma disc
[20:00] <anthony> yes
[20:00] <Scunizi> yes to dual boot?
[20:00] <anthony> yes
[20:00] <Scunizi> when you booted to the disk for install was that from a cold boot or was vista running at the time?
[20:01] <anthony> cold
[20:03] <Scunizi> ok.. so a true dual boot.
[20:03] <Scunizi> the game you're trying to run does it require direct X ?
[20:03] <anthony> yess
[20:03] <anthony> pretty high graphic game
[20:04] <Scunizi> then it won't work.. direct x will not work in wine.  that is a propitiatory thing from microsoft.. you have to run it in windows.
[20:04] <anthony> ive installed dx8 drivers on linux b4 why cant we do that now?
[20:06] <Scunizi> no idea..
[20:06] <anthony> and again that doesnt make since guildwars requires dx9 and it plays just fine
[20:06] <anthony> aight man thanks for ur help.
[20:06] <Peace-> hi channel
[20:07] <Scunizi> some programs will also use opengl.. perhaps guildwars does that.. you'd be better off checking with #winehq or their site to check on compatibility
[21:10] <kyubutsu> need info about removing favorite tab from kickoff menu
[21:11]  * crack05 is away (Gone)
[21:15] <kyubutsu> it be more practical if kickoff only had applications, computer, and leave ..  favorites and recently used are just redundant
[21:17] <kyubutsu> specially since the search bar can be equally effective at calling whatever application you need use , not to mention alt-f2 does the same thing anyway
[21:28] <some1_> can I install kubuntu x64 without swap with 3 Gb of ram?
[21:29] <vbgunz> some1_: sure. absolutely. say goodbye to hibernation/resume
[21:29] <BluesKaj> only if you have more than 4G RAM, hence you should have a swap of about 4-5G
[21:30] <vbgunz> I don't understand though, why not give up just 6GB to swap?
[21:31] <trendsetter37> !help
[21:41] <rork_> kyubutsu: computer and recently used are redundant, favorites, leave and programs are enough. I guess it would be practical if there was a setting for which menu's to activate.
[21:46] <kyubutsu> so, a kickoff with applications, favorites and leave; i still would favor recently used against favorites anyway
[21:46] <kyubutsu> now, how to get that done, you know?
[21:49] <rork_> I'm afraid they removed a lot of settings like this from KDE 3, I don't know any other way then grabbing the source, removing some parts and make a new widget
[22:09] <djSeeque> Hi, if I install 10.10 RC today, will it automatically get updated to the released version after Monday (via package updates), or will I have to reinstall?
[22:14] <BluesKaj> djSeeque, it will automatically update to the final release when you update
[22:20] <djSeeque> BluesKaj: thanks!  That's what I figured
[22:20] <djSeeque> time to move on from 8.04 :-)
[22:22] <BluesKaj> djSeeque, how did you install ?
[22:23] <BluesKaj> or are going to install rather
[22:23] <djSeeque> Fresh installation on another disk.
[22:24] <djSeeque> I want to have both available as I transition to the new one
[22:27] <Scunizi> Sometimes Kontact gets stuck showing a contact in the right pane.. no matter what contact you highlight it doesn't change.. How do I fix this?
[22:27] <_Wise_> hi *
[22:28] <BluesKaj> djSeeque, a bit of advice , if you haven't done so in the past . Install kubuntu to a / partition and create a /home partition for your data . Then, next time you do a clean install , just istall the OS to / and your dataon the /home partition will be unaffected.
[22:29] <Erthe> Last night I installed a security update/some bug fix updates and now I can't boot unless I boot from one of the older kernel versions, did anyone else experience this?
[22:29] <djSeeque> BluesKaj: that makes a lot of sense, and it's occurred to me before
[22:29] <djSeeque> maybe I'll do it for the Maverick install
[22:29] <Erthe> Booting with 2.6.32-25 causes a kernel panic
[22:30] <BluesKaj> djSeeque, it's common practice by ppl who follow each new release
[22:31] <djSeeque> BluesKaj: sure, seems obvious in retrospect. Thanks!
[22:31] <BluesKaj> djSeeque, np :)
[22:33] <djSeeque> any other suggestions about partitioning?  Up to now I only use two, for / and /boot.  Now I'll add /home.  anything else obvious?
[22:37] <_Wise_> I'm using dolphin to mount remote filesystems with fish://. I can't figure out how to preserve file timestamps when transfering files from local drive to remote. The timestamp is changed by current timestamp
[22:38] <_Wise_> is there a way to avoid this ?
[22:42] <_Wise_> What config file should I look at ?
[23:43] <olskolirc> Maverick Meerkat uses only 4 channels for kmix - how do i switch back to alsa and get all my channels back please (ubuntu+1 nobody is there and the channel closes in a few days)
[23:47] <angel__> ubuntu in spanish please
