[00:03] how do i configure my firewall? for some reason i can no longer connect to my site through ftp and it says my connection is blocked by my firewall. [00:04] rtdos: kubuntu dosent ahve one enabled by default ^^ [00:04] !firewall [00:04] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [00:05] rtdos: if you have a router then its probally that [00:05] my router has never returned me that message before. :-\ [00:05] i'll check out ufw [00:06] ^^ i doupt its kubuntu if you ahven enabled the firewall yourself... its mostlikly the router [00:08] l [00:09] i don't know how it got enabled, james147, but when i ran ufw status it did say it was enabled. :-\ [00:09] gonna reboot. [00:09] rtdos: :s you shouldnt need to reboot [00:13] hi.. im trying to get Desktop Cube running but evertime i aktivate Desktop effects it says the following desktop effekts could not be activated: blur cover switch desktop cube and desktop cube animation === mren is now known as mren|off [00:14] is there maybe a prob with my graphic driver? [00:15] veluxes: possibally, which one are you using? [00:16] hm how do i find out..sorry im new.. lspci? or is that just the hardwarelist? [00:18] veluxes: that will list your card [00:18] VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) [00:20] veluxes: i suggest you install the nvidia drivers if you ahvent already... open "hardware drivers" from the menu (or run "jockey-kde") and install them that way [00:20] James147: what is the equivalent to 'sudo gedit ' ? [00:21] rtdos: NEVER use sudo to open a graphica application [00:21] rtdos: but "kdesudo kate " [00:21] ^^ or what ever editor you like instead of kate :) [00:23] ahox, that's what i meant, thanks james :) [00:28] how do i install the proper codec that allows me to play the following radio stream - http://easylink.playstream.com/seawm1/wmkv.wvx - it appears that it is a windows media stream. [00:29] ok i did that but its still not workin..do i need to reboot? [00:30] what is jockey? a hardware-detecting tool? [00:30] veluxes: its best to restart after installing a new video driver, but you only need to restart X [00:32] wohoo, just built my first .deb package :D === drew is now known as Guest43098 [00:32] oh cool its workin thanks a lot [00:33] vanguard: cool! if you're ever interested in learning more about kubuntu packaging drop into #kubuntu-devel anytime ;) [00:34] is it about packaging other stuff in kde or the packagin of kde itself? [00:35] well, KDE itself is a given, but other things get packaged too if it makes sense to have them [00:37] I guess I will have to gain a lot more experience for that ... I just put a .jar of my Java project in a .deb which is mostly made up from tutorials. But it installs fine on my machine :) === drew_ is now known as bedsack [01:01] hey [01:02] I just installed kubuntu [01:02] gz [01:02] Hello lvella_ [01:02] what did you use before? [01:02] ubuntu [01:02] heheh [01:02] but [01:02] well, that is not really that extreme of a switch :) [01:02] I am missing some colors in konsole [01:02] do you know what I mean? [01:03] I type "ls" [01:03] you mean like the prompt and ls ? [01:03] yes [01:03] hmm, my console is with colors here [01:03] lvella_: what happens if you tpye "ls --color"? [01:04] and in vt, if I type "sudo apt-get install ", the package name is autocompleted with tab [01:04] ^^ --color=auto even [01:04] in konsole, it is not [01:04] ls --color works [01:04] isn't konsole loading some bash configuration by default? [01:04] ~/.bashrc [01:05] lvella_: kubuntu should put the color aliases in your .bashrc, check if they are there [01:05] humm [01:05] I just guessed what happened [01:06] due to some... issues, my home directory was not copied from /etc/skel [01:07] thanks [01:07] lvella_: then that might be why :) [01:07] I just fixed is [01:07] it [01:07] I'm back! [01:07] clicked on "disconnect" by mistake [01:08] do you know if quassel have on type spell check, like xchat? [01:08] lvella: it does, enable it in its settings [01:10] found it [01:10] thanks [01:15] it is easier to ask than to search, you already have the info indexed in our brains [01:15] *your [01:16] lvella: not that it takes long to find :) and you get to know what other options are there === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway [01:21] now a harder question, last time I used kde I had the same problem, but found no solution [01:22] there is a network configurator program that opens up when I click in the networking icon [01:23] there I can create and manage my network connection [01:23] you can use the little widget in the systray [01:23] yes [01:23] the problem in inside [01:24] when I create a new connection [01:24] I can only create local connections (for my user) [01:26] there is a grayed checkbox called "System Connection" (or something like this, mine is in portuguese) inside the properties of a new connection [01:26] but I can not "check" it [01:26] that problem was talked about a couple hours ago as well ... I just do not know the solution. [01:26] is there a way to create a system wide connection? [01:27] see, here I have dhcp, but I need this machine to use a specific manually assigned ip address [01:27] when I create a new manual connection there [01:28] the network becomes unstable [01:28] and oscillate between my manual configuration and the "auto eth0" [01:33] i downloaded compizz cause it looks much nicer i just got the problem that i cant chance the number of desktops to 4 its stuck on 1... any idea? [01:35] and this just crashed.. Executable: kde4-window-decorator PID: 1906 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault) [01:38] is people using radeon proprietary driver with kubuntu? is it ok? [01:39] i like the free driver, it is cool for movies, but not for games... [01:43] lvella: you can set up a static address on an wired connection like this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [01:43] lvella: and as far as I know the radeon drivers should work, although I have never used them [01:44] why links are being opened by firefox instead of rekonq? where is this setting? [01:45] lvella: system settings > default application [01:47] well, it doesn't seems to be there... [01:47] lvella: what exactly? [01:50] inside "default application" → "web browser", there is just the very cryptc message (free translation) "Open URLs http and https: in an application based on the contents of the URL" [01:50] this is selected [01:50] but I don't know what it means [01:51] lvella: check "in the follow browser" and type "rekonq" in the boxz [01:51] not firefox is referenced somewhere [01:51] (thinks the top one basically means "auto" ^^ :) ) [01:51] ok, but from where kde is locating firefox? [01:52] lvella: might want to check the program "update-alternatives" or something... (not on my kubuntu box atm) [01:54] hello everybody... [01:54] Hello chenbang [01:55] i m new here [01:55] Then welcome :) [01:55] thanx [01:57] the radeon driver does not work too good on my 2600 here [01:57] I guess it is kinda hard since it is an iMac ... === guru is now known as Guest31069 [02:04] does anybody use compiz around here? [02:05] veluxes: i do :D [02:06] do you use ccsm? [02:06] veluxes: yes [02:06] veluxes: do you need help with something? [02:07] i cant set more then 1 desktop and it always crashes when i start compiz [02:07] it says Executable: kde4-window-decorator PID: 1906 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault) [02:08] veluxes: did you google for an answer? [02:09] yes cant find anything about the desktop thing...didnt try the other aktually but im on it ;) [02:10] thought it might be the same prob..guess its not.. [02:10] veluxes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/572780 [02:10] Ubuntu bug 572780 in compiz (Ubuntu Lucid) "KDE4 Window Decorator Crashes with Compiz in Lucid Lynx 10.04" [Medium,Fix committed] [02:10] veluxes: there is a fix for it apparently [02:22] salut la popullation [02:22] !fr [02:22] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [02:25] im off guys. bye [02:41] how to play mp3? [02:41] I've installed gstreamer backend [02:41] plus gstreamer ffmpeg [02:41] but no good... [02:41] lvella: install kuubntu-restricted-extras [02:44] why is openjdk restricted? [02:50] hard question: [02:50] how to import bookmarks from chrome to rekonq? [02:52] hum [02:52] acid test just froze rekonq [02:54] a few minutes after my screensaver kicks in, it powers off. how do i prevent it from powering off? [02:55] rtdos: go to power management settings -> edit profiles -> performance profile and change the display settings === drew is now known as Guest6612 [02:59] yofel, both dim display and enable display power management are un-ticked [02:59] what is 10.10's nickname? [02:59] rtdos: maverick meerkat [02:59] rosco_y: ^ [03:00] rtdos: hm... check the screensaver settings maybe? not sure if that has another setting [03:05] James147_: kub-xtras doesn't have gst goodies [03:05] dunno why [03:05] but so far only xine and vlc codecs [03:05] I should bring that up to the packagers, I guess [03:07] ok, hold on yofel [03:08] valorie: amarok did ask me if I want to install gst codecs when I started it in natty [03:08] woooooooooooo! [03:09] that would be thanks to the hard work of the phonon folks [03:09] for which I thank them [03:09] however, would be good to be prompted during the install [03:13] hi i want to install http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/core/commit/?h=compiz-0.8&id=04c6a44893a00088c63acd3ba327022f8aa551cc&ss=1... im suppost to type autogen.sh and than make make install but if i type autogen.sh i get autogen.sh: command not found [03:17] i googled and after sh ./autogen.sh it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/554583/ [03:17] automake failed.. [03:18] you probably want to install 'libtool' [03:33] thank you but he still cant find some macros [03:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/554584/ [03:36] valorie: can you please run 'sudo apt-get build-dep compiz-kde' [03:36] veluxes: ^ [03:36] sorry valorie :S [03:36] lol [03:37] used to it [03:37] :-) [03:37] ^^ [03:43] isn't there a command to install kde all ? [03:43] sudo apt-get install kde-full? [03:43] it's a debian thing, but works fine for us too [03:44] kubuntu-desktop [03:44] that doesn't install every kde application (there's no way full KDE would fit onto a CD) [03:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/554591/ ok i finally got to get my make but it seems like its got prob with me using the 1.desktop how do i unuse it? [03:46] thanks yofel, btw, gnome powersaver was still installed so i removed that lets see if that helps. [03:47] veluxes: a) it didn't build everyhting successfully b) make install requires sudo (and the understanding that your compiz will be prefered over the system one until you remove it) [03:48] do i get to use compiz if i install kde-full with kubuntu 10.10? [03:48] using checkinstall would be better [03:48] veluxes: nope, that's unrelated [03:49] how do i use checkinstall ? [03:49] if my registry gets too big I get a stack overflow when i use wine. is there some setting i can change to fix that? [03:50] ok i did the make install..ill restart and see if it works [03:50] veluxes: logging out is enough [03:50] oh ok [03:51] sorry wrong channel === Guest6612 is now known as bedsack [03:52] bedsack: well, not necessarily, you could try to run it in a shell after modifying the stacksize with ulimit -s [03:52] not sure if that's the issue though [03:52] #winehq might give you a better suggestion though [03:56] ok i think it did it,...but do i need to disable desktop effects for it? [03:56] thanks yofel. I meant to be on the winehq channel :) [03:56] or virtual desktop? still cant get the cube [03:57] no idea, the desktop effects menu is meant for kwin, not compiz, use ccsm for compiz [03:59] ok i didnt aktivate compiz...now i did and its still not working... [03:59] i installed the nvidia-nonfree but xorg doesn't seem to be using it [03:59] what am i missing [04:00] jetscreamer: please use jockey-kde [04:00] ? [04:00] k... [04:01] jetscreamer: there is no nvidia-nonfree package, please use jockey-kde to install the nvidia driver [04:01] and please don't use the .run from the nvidia site [04:01] it was in sources [04:01] ? [04:02] yeh [04:02] !find nvidia-nonfree [04:02] Package/file nvidia-nonfree does not exist in maverick [04:02] well that wasn't the exact name [04:02] one sec [04:02] jetscreamer: if you mean nvidia-current, jockey will install that [04:02] ah yes that [04:03] so jockey will do something else as well i take it :) [04:03] yep, tell X to use it ;) [04:03] (you could run nvidia-xconfig too, but that will put a lot of junk into your xorg.conf) [04:03] jockey does a cleaner job [04:04] yeh seen that [04:04] messy === sean is now known as Guest18251 [04:15] konsole [04:16] how do you arrange the icons on the desktop, like by name or whatever [04:17] on wich gui? [04:17] I assume that you are talking about kde 4.5 [04:17] kde4 [04:17] .5 i guess [04:17] whatever's the latest [04:18] ok, if you do right clik on plasma desktop [04:18] yeah i have... [04:18] go to Preferences [04:18] no preferences menu item [04:18] ..... no way! [04:19] closest is desktop settings... add widgets, panel... [04:19] run command [04:19] lock screen, leave [04:19] activities [04:19] that's it [04:20] and nothing in desktop settings does that :( [04:20] just type "Alt + s" [04:21] sorry, "Alt+d" (go to desktop) and "Alt+s" (go to settings) [04:21] are you there? [04:21] the, you must go to activity [04:21] wallpaper activity and mouse actions [04:21] k [04:22] jetscreamer: what activity type are you using? [04:22] if you use Desktop, (default if I'm not wrong, you can manage the widgets) === emma is now known as em [04:23] yeah it says desktop [04:23] but if you selet folder view (I have my desktop in spanish, I don't know the correct option in english, but must say somthing about folder) [04:23] but there's nothing under it but name: uinmamed [04:23] ahh ok i saw that [04:23] jetscreamer: then you are trying to sort the icons in the folder view on the desktop? or just icons on the desktop? [04:23] the forlder view is most like "windows desktop" [04:24] yeah there we go type folder view [04:24] thanks a lot [04:24] icons on the desktop [04:24] if you change to this, you will see all your icons like on windows desktop, and them you can sort by name, size, type, whatever [04:24] ^^ you can also sort the ones in the folder view in much the same way [04:25] (widget taht is) [04:25] jetscreamer: anything else? [04:25] the command is there, but the icons aren't moving [04:26] i placed them manually, but they should get arranged anyway shouldn't they? [04:26] may be they are stocked on place. There is an option right there where you go to sort it, that allows you to leavit on grid, or bocked in his place. [04:27] how come I do sudo chown users:mrotth raid/ chown: invalid user: `users:mrotth' <---- I get that error [04:27] mrroth: its USER:GROUP [04:27] user:group [04:27] so the user is mrotth:group [04:28] what would be the group [04:28] dang beatme [04:28] thanks zeroadrenaline [04:28] I will try [04:28] ok [04:28] mrroth: normally the same as your user [04:28] mrroth: unless you want it in a different group for some reason [04:28] mrroth: you welcome [04:28] sudo chown mrotth:mrotth raid/ [04:28] chown: invalid user: `mrotth:mrotth' [04:29] ahh it worked [04:29] hmm typo [04:29] ok, stop trying commands as a blind guy. If you don't stop, you'll broke something. [04:29] Just read the output of this commands and think about it [04:29] sudo cat /etc/passwd [04:30] ^^ yeah, its useful to read the manpages before you try new commands :) [04:30] sudo cat /etc/group [04:30] this two commands gives you all the info you need about what users and groups are in your system. [04:30] ` ' [04:30] (also run: "groups" to see which groups you are in) [04:31] ahh I see [04:31] I got it [04:31] ^^ but most of the time your files should belong to the group named after you (so mrroth:mrroth) [04:32] ok, well, if there isn't a group called mrroth you can't do "sudo chown mrroth:mrroth /path" because (as you probably suppose) there isn't any group called mrroth [04:32] unless, ofcourse, you have a reason not to :) such as to let others see/use/edit the files [04:32] yea wha tI am trying to do is this, create in the root directory a mount point for my raid1 (software mirror of two 500 gig sata disk, for data) [04:32] so, just check well what user and group must pass to the command, and then I'm jure that you will not fail again. [04:33] mrroth: ok just a coment, never mount on /root anything, there is /mnt path created to allow you to mount your fs's right there. [04:34] ^^ or in /media :) [04:34] or, if you don't like /mnt, use /media, but never use /root [04:34] (though thats mostly for removable [04:34] James147_: are you reading my mind? jejejejeje [04:34] :D [04:34] OH and why is that zeroadrenaline [04:35] I will do so, but hmm [04:35] when you mount some fs, let's suppose thata you have a device caller /dev/sda2 and you are trying to moun it into /root [04:35] mrroth: you can mount things where ever you like... but unless you have a reson for doing so its best to keep it in /mnt or /media [04:36] well, you probable do something like this: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /root [04:36] ^^ /root is roots home folder... you shouldnt really put things in there that arent needed [04:36] oh [04:36] sort works for a directory i created in /home/user/Desktop, but not the icons i dragged from the start menu [04:36] ok, you mount it on /root [04:36] i can screw shit up [04:36] says root owns em might be that [04:37] but I can still do /mnt/raid [04:37] but all the content of /root folder previous to mount now is unaccesible to you, because you "push" it down with your fs [04:37] mrroth: what i advise is you create a folder in /mnt or /media (called "raid" or what ever you want) and mount it there [04:37] k good idea James147_ thanks James147_ and zegenie [04:37] zeroadrenaline... [04:37] when you performe umount /root you wil recover all the original content, [04:37] oh that sucks [04:37] but /root (as some say) is the home folder of the root user [04:38] mrroth: ^^ also there is little need to chown in this case... what you should do it keep the folder owned as root and apply a mask to the mount options to let others access it (though root needs to mount it) [04:38] if you mount some fs there, you are puting your /dev/sda2 over all the home info of root user, and definitly this is not a god idea. [04:38] James147_ how would I do that [04:39] so I created a folder in /mnt/raid [04:39] I then want to mount my raid 1 mirro on it [04:39] and still allow mrroth to use it [04:39] mrroth: set the options uid= and gid= to the appropite amsks is i remembeer right [04:39] there is a file in /etc/fstab thata allows you to set the mounting point of every fs and whe your pc boot, all the fs declared on /etc/fstab will be mounted automatically [04:40] mrroth: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount << tells you everything you need to know about the mount command [04:40] thanks James147_ let me read [04:40] if you search at google automatic mount with /etc/fstab you will find a lot of info about it. [04:41] just remember that the fstab manage the grants in reverse of chmod [04:41] in chmod 777 is rwxrwxrwx [04:41] oh [04:41] but in fstab 777 is --------- [04:41] oh [04:42] so, if you whant to give 755 grants to a fs [04:42] you will need to set something like this [04:42] yeah ok the ones i right clicked and hit 'add to desktop' can't be automatically arranged, but copy to works [04:43] "/device /mount/point fs-type options" [04:43] without " [04:43] in our example [04:43] hmm [04:44] mrroth: this might be of intrest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [04:44] /dev/sda2 /mnt/raid ext3 rw,auto,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=002,gmask=002 0 0 [04:44] ahh cool [04:44] uid=1000 is the thefault for the first user of the system [04:44] gis=100 is the default of "users" group [04:44] oh I see [04:44] d [04:44] gid [04:45] (uid=USER_ID, gid=GROUP_ID,umask=USER_MASK,gmask=GROUP_MASK where mask is the grants of them in the fs) [04:46] as I allways say, first of all, and take this like your MANTRA as sysadmin: [04:46] BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES BEFORE EDIT IT!!! [04:46] ahh HMM that a good mantra [04:46] so: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp.YYYYMMDD [04:47] what do i need to install to add a irc server and a newserver to my installation (that will be run from my local network) ?> [04:47] apt-cache search IRCD [04:48] after that and ONLY AFTER THAT, you are allowed to do rm, vim, destroy, kill, and all that commands that we love to use to destroy our system and get entire night without sleep. [04:49] zeroadrenaline: mrroth: ^^ or better yet: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp-`date +%f` << will auto append the date :) [04:49] ^^ %F even [04:50] mrroth, is it the same for nntp? [04:51] not sure [04:51] never used nntpd [04:51] James147_: you are a hacker jejejejejejeje! [04:53] are there someone that are testing firefox 4?. [04:56] [05:16] * jetscreamer sticks a fork in it [05:16] they should be happy [05:17] dual boot system for somebody [05:17] zeroadrenaline: yes [05:17] ............. [05:17] yofel, are you testing ff4? [05:17] yofel: are you testing ff4? [05:18] considering I'm using 4.0~b10~hg20110114r60482+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1 - yes ;) [05:19] (that's the 4.0 daily build version) [05:47] for software raid 1 mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 fdisk says Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes and Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes is this my first step [05:47] or do I have to create the partions first [05:48] I haven't set up a raid in ages, but I'm pretty sure you need the raid first and the partitions after that [05:53] Test only (large post previoulsy typed seems to have been lost) [05:54] Test only again as 'daggett' and not 'daggett_' [05:55] yofel k [05:56] daggett_: test succeeded [06:00] Thanx yofel. I am very new 2 this. Actually, I tried, using a drop down menu to the left of the input field to change to 'daggett' without the trailing underscore ('_'), but seem to have failed, not that that is very important. [06:00] hey, can anyone tell me how exactly to add extra privileges to a new users account? [06:01] daggett_: you can type '/nick daggett' here, that should change the name [06:01] i installed kubuntu for someone but created an extra account so that i could set some stuff up but now she doesn't seem to have certain options available [06:01] (ie package managers aren't showing up etc) [06:02] how can i can modify her account so that system config and package management show up the same as the first user who logged in? [06:03] sinthetek: you probably need to add that user to the admin group, not sure how adding users works [06:05] hmm [06:07] adding someone to sudoers group: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139243 [06:08] !sudoers [06:08] Kubuntu KDE 4 seems impressively powerful, but maybe at a cost to familiarity by users such as myself. Previously I had used KDE (3, I think) on a Debian Linux desktop. I had found KDE preferable to the Gnome desktop (maybe because I did not know more about Gnome). One task I don't know how to perform, for example, which i was able to perform on KDE 3 was to move progrma icons on the KDE task bar (located on my desktop at [06:08] the bottom). Can anyone tell me how to move an icon or point me to docs which show me how? [06:08] !sudo [06:08] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [06:09] daggett_: it is a bit difficult to get used to the plasma desktop, I agree [06:09] however, now that I'm used to it, I really like it [06:09] make friends with that cashew [06:09] normally when i want to see what the contents of a file are from the command line i do $ nano /path/to/the/file.txt is there any way to just print the file to the command line without using an editor? [06:10] :s/difficult/different :) [06:10]
