lofdo i need a specifier for the interface in interfaces03:27
`DT`Daskreech: do that from xterm?03:28

=== Deet is now known as `DT``
sunexplodesAmarok handled my ipod quite well when using it out of a Gnome environment, but when I installed KDE, it started to recognize it as a generic media device. No matter what DE I'm in.03:45
`DT``infernal contraption03:45
sunexplodesNo longer will it write anything to it in the proper apple format, so i'm kind of out of luck. All the other apps i've tried recognize it, but i'd prefer to use amarok, as it has all my album art and stuff03:45
`DT``ok Daskreech i'm hooked up to the ethernet03:45
sunexplodesAnyone got any guesses?03:46

`DT`yes03:47
Daskreechwhat does startx do?03:47
Daskreechno wait03:47
sunexplodesIt's likelier an amarok problem than an apple one, as all other apps are acting the same, just amarok is having an issue03:47
Daskreech`DT`: Xterm?03:47
`DT`yes03:47
Daskreechwhat did you do when you logged in?03:47
`DT`to login to xterm? selected it from the menu03:48
Daskreechsunexplodes: there is a common lib that is used to refognize i* devices03:48
DaskreechI don't remember what's it is called now though03:48
`DT`normal login starts, goes to splash screen, flashes black, shows busy cursor, flashes black again, back to splash screen and back to login screen03:49
Daskreech`DT`: What happens if you select KDE from the login?03:49
`DT`i don't actually have KDE03:49
Daskreech`DT`: Oh what do you have then?03:50
`DT`running Xfce, no one in #xubuntu is active03:50
sunexplodesyeah, it's libgpod, which is allowing the ipod to detect fine in gtkpod, rhythmbox, banshee, exfalso, etc. just an amarok problem.03:50
`DT`as usual03:50
Daskreech`DT`: ah hmm do you have compiz?03:50

tsimpsoncheck the mixer settings, Kubuntu does nothing special with sound other than just play it06:30
noaXessc2tarun: checked  mixer?06:30

c2tarunfrom live CD06:30

Decorianhi, recently installed kubuntu 10.10 on my netbook, it won't go past the login screen, although i can log in fine in the console. I seperated home and root partitions and encrypted the home folder, any ideas as to what's wrong or should I just reinstall?10:37
james147Decorian: check the logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsessionerrors) if not try starting it from a tty (with startx) after you shutdown kdm (also make sure you own all the files in you home (espically the hidden ones)10:40
Decorianhow do i shutdown kdm?10:40
Decorianalso, i'm fairly sure i would own everything, there's only one user, and it's pretty much a clean install10:41
Decorianall i have done is updates and installed some programs (bzr and things)10:41
james147Decorian: check anyway... some times root takes hold of your files if you have been running something as root that you houldnt have ;)10:44
james147Decorian: to stop kdm run "sudo stop kdm" and "sudo start kdm" to start it (or restart if you just want to restart it)10:44
Decorianok, thanks10:44
Decorianok, the startx worked, and I logged in10:45
Decoriani'm going to run an update, then see if it happens agai10:45

rysiek|plI am looking at the launchpad kubuntu backports ppa13:19
rysiek|pland I see there is no "libkio5" package there, at all13:19
rysiek|pland that is one of the problematic (i.e. blocking clean update) packages13:19
rysiek|plwtf?13:19
yofelthat's somewhat impossible13:20
yofelI'll take a look13:20
rysiek|plif said libkio5 and a few other libs had a clear upgrade path I wouldn't be in the pickle I am right now13:21

rysiek|plright13:24
yofelrun 'apt-cache shource libkio5' to find that out13:24
yofel*source13:24

rtdosis there a mobile browser simulator for kde? (like what windows has?)16:03
Tm_T...which mobile browser you're possibly meaning?16:03
rtdossomething that i can see what my website looks like on a mobile phone.16:04
rtdosopera, chrome, firefox, anything.16:05
Tm_Trtdos: no, different mobile browsers shows pages differently, some of them can be "simulated" simply by shrinking the window of, let's say, chrome16:09
rtdosi understand that and was just wondering if there was a browser specifically designed to test mobile sites?16:10
Tm_Tnot that I know (:16:11
Anubisrtdos: maybe adobe browser labs ?16:12
rtdosi'll check it out anubis,thanks. :)16:13
Tm_TI remember someone mentioned that Opera 11 would have some option to emulate Opera mini16:14
Tm_Trtdos: there's this too: http://labs.opera.com/news/2010/04/22/16:15
rtdosthx.16:18
Tm_Tthere's more at opera's site I'm sure (:16:19

c2tarunis there any way to upgrade from maverick 32-bit to maverick 64-bit?17:35
james147c2tarun: reinstall17:36
james147c2tarun: i dont know of anything that supports that17:36
c2tarunjames147: that'll erase all my updates :( is 64 bit really faster than 32 bit?17:37
james147c2tarun: ^^ so update again, unless your on a slower connection that should not be a problem, and 64bit is no faster then 32bit for most applications17:38
james147c2tarun: how much ram do you have?17:38
c2tarun4 GB17:39
c2tarunjames147: 4GB17:40
james147c2tarun: how much is kubuntu actually seeing? (free -m   will tell you)17:40
c2tarunjames147: sorry I guess I have 3GB of RAM :( I forgot, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/559619/17:41
james147c2tarun: dosnt mean you only have 3 gigs... thats about what i would expect for a 32bit system, you might be wasting your last gig17:42
c2tarunjames147: what do u mean ? I am not getting.17:43
james147c2tarun: there is a way to access your full ram (assuming you do actually have 4 gigs) on 32 bit (though no one application can use more then 3 or 4...)17:43
c2tarunjames147: how?17:44
james147c2tarun: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq17:44
james147http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ even17:44
james147c2tarun: ^^ you also dont need that much swap :) hell, unless you hyberante or use allot of extreamly ram heavy applications with 4 gigs of ram you dont really need swap :)17:47
james147(though having a little can be a nice safty buffer, though 8 gigs is a allot for that ^^ i would say you should have no more then 4)17:48
c2tarunjames147: I have 3GB of RAM i jst checked :( still total mem displayed is 2949 that is < 3GB how come?17:49
* james147 hasnt noticed any problems running without ram on any of his systems with 2+ gigs17:49
james147c2tarun: hmm, probally reserved for soemthing like video17:50
james147c2tarun: best place to actually check is in the bios17:50
c2tarunjames147: may be, I have one more problem, I had ubuntu first I tried to install kubuntu in another partitition, for that I tried to resize an partition but got and error that there can be only three primary partitions. Is there any way that I can dual boot my system with ubuntu and kubuntu?17:51
james147^^ why dual boot, you can install kubuntu-desktop from syncptic or any other packagemanager and install kde along side gnome17:52
james147then you can pick to loginto a kde or gnome session from the login maanger17:52
v3nd3ttawhenz 11.04 ?17:52
* james147 fails at wording today17:52
james147v3nd3tta: it should be use april, probally the end of17:53
james147due ^^17:53
c2tarunjames147: I did that when I have ubuntu, I installed KDE liked it very much but there was some errors like sound not working sometime, wifi driver not working. I asked on IRC and they said to install a fresh copy and it'll be error free :)17:53
Peace-c2tarun: welll you have only to create a non primary partition ...17:53
c2tarunPeace-: how can i do that?17:53
james147c2tarun: ok then, what partitions do you currently have?17:54
Peace-c2tarun: partition manager17:54
c2tarunjames147: I have three partitions17:54
james147^^ but yeah, you can turn one of the 4 primary partitions into a extended partition17:54
c2tarunPeace-: is there any way to create a non primary partition without deleting other partitions?17:54
c2tarunjames147: without erasing the data on it?17:54
james147c2tarun: no17:54
Peace-c2tarun: you have to split one partiton17:55
james147c2tarun: what partitions do you currently have?, you can probaly just delete the swap partition if you ahve one without any adverse effect17:55
james147(assuming you ahve 4, if not then just make the 4th one an extended partition)17:56
c2tarunjames147: I have three partitions and all are primary17:56
Peace-this is my hardisk c2tarun http://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-plasma-desktopml137117:56
james147c2tarun: then you should beable to create a 4th exended17:56
Peace-as you can see i have one partition for lucid17:56
james147extended17:56
Peace-one for natty17:56
Peace-that is in a extended partition17:57
Peace-wher you can find home too and swap i believe17:57
Peace-yea i have one primary partition , where there is / for lucid17:58
c2tarunPeace-: how can i open that partition manager?17:58
Peace-and one extented for home , swap and the other / for natty xD17:58
Peace-c2tarun: you are on ubunut o kubuntu ?17:58
c2tarunPeace-: kubuntu17:58
Peace-sudo apt-get install partitionmanager17:59

FloodBotK3Peace-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.17:59
james147c2tarun: ^^ repartition on a live cd though.... you should do it when a disk is mounted18:01
Peace-well :D right18:01
c2tarunjames147, Peace-: problem is how can i create extended partition from the unallocated space, when I double click on it to create a partition i get the error :(   here is my hard disk structure  http://imagebin.org/134856  any suggestions?18:03
IceEaglehello18:03
james147c2tarun: you have 4 primaray partitions18:04
james147c2tarun: can you paste a screenshot with the window maximised so i can see whats the /dev/sda218:05
c2tarunjames147: ya sure18:05
c2tarunjames147: http://imagebin.org/13485818:07
james147c2tarun: yeah, that last one is jsut swap :)18:07
c2tarunjames147: so any suggestions :(18:07
james147and the unallocated is only 1.29 gigs, not enough for kubuntu18:08
c2tarunI can resize the partition named as Softwares18:08
james147c2tarun: what I would do is expand /dev/sda1 or 2 into that unalocated sapce (as its jsut being wasted atm)18:08
Peace-you need of at least 10 gb18:08
Peace-i guess18:08
james147^^ /dev/sda3 not 2 ^^18:09
james147then i would delete the swap space (/dev/sda2 in this case)18:09
james147^^ the 8 gigs of swap space you have is enough to install kubuntu on, though you wont ahve much room for files unless you use a different drive18:10
c2tarunjames147: my HDD is very big I can allocate 30 GB space to ubuntu18:10
Peace-c2tarun: it's stupid18:11
Peace-c2tarun: you could do this18:11
c2tarunPeace-: ok than 15GB18:11
c2tarunor 10GB18:11
Peace-i have one partition for lucid18:11
Peace-one partition for natty18:11
Peace-one partition for home18:11
Peace-lucid and natty share home partition18:11
james147^^ yeah, having one partition for home would be very usefull to you18:12
james147that way you dont need to duplicate any files18:12
Peace-yeahh18:12
c2tarunPeace-: what do u mean by sharing the home partition?18:12
james147^^ well user files :)18:12
Peace-when i installed natty i set the /home18:12
james147c2tarun: you have one /home partition that gets mounted from both operating system18:12
Peace-in the same partition18:12
Peace-and i didn't format it of course18:13
Peace-:)18:13
c2tarunPeace-: It sounds good :) in case of any problems I just have to format other partition and install new OS and my home will remain safe that way :018:13
Peace-of course18:14
genii-aroundstuq: Apologies on lag, work required me. If you go to System settings...Common Appearance and Behavior... Personal Information ... Akonadi Resources Configuration ....      Is that running?18:14
c2tarunPeace-: :) can you please tell me how can we do that?18:14
james147thats the idea... :) although kubuntus installer wont delete your /home dir if you dont formate the drrve it is on (even if its the same as / )   so you can reinstall without losing your home as long as you dont format anythign :)18:15
james147c2tarun: first thing is you need to create space for it18:15
stuqgenii-around: np, i appreciate the response18:15
stuqin Personal Information18:16
c2tarunjames147: ok then I'll allocate large space for my home and then small partitions for ubuntu, kubuntu and other destors?18:16
james147I would shrink /dev/sda3 (as not much of it is being used),18:16
stuqAkonadi Resources doesn't appear18:16
james147c2tarun: yup18:16
stuqContacts/Calendar/Notes/Alarms18:16
c2tarunjames147: Ok I'll shrink /dev/sda3, then?18:17
stuqi'm running 4.6.0.0 btw18:17
james147c2tarun: although to resize i would boot into a live cd18:17
james147first ^^18:17
james147c2tarun: as it isent safe to resize or edit paritions that have been mounted18:17
c2tarunjames147: Ok, i'll use gparted for that I used it before.18:18
james147c2tarun: btw, what is on your software partition?18:20
c2tarunjames147: few games, ebooks, softwares, setups of some distros18:20
stuqgenii-around: Bringing up Akonadi Config via runner18:20
genii-aroundstuq: Ah, OK. 4.6 onwards the filter panel should work with or without Nepomuk. So in this case I do not know why it is greyed out for you18:20
c2tarunjames147: some wallpapers also18:20
stuqand the server is listed as running18:20
Peace-i am on 4.6 tooo18:21
stuqah, ok18:21
Peace-what's the problem ?18:21
james147c2tarun: ... you could also just turn that into a /home partition then :)18:21
stuqHey Peace- I'm trying to 'un-gray' the checkboxes on the filter tab in dolphin18:21
james147(if the idea was to keep taht stuff safe from reinstalling an os)18:21
c2tarunjames147: but I think my home folder is allready in /dev/sda/118:21
Peace-stuq: screenshot?18:22
james147c2tarun: you can copy the files onto software, then just mount it over the old /home18:22
stuqis there a favored place to post one on this channel?18:22
c2tarunjames147: hey I have an idea, just whether it is correct or not?18:22
c2tarunjames147: I can copy my home folder from /dev/sda1 to Software, than I'll shrink dev/sda1 and free approx 10GB of space, this space i'll use to install ubuntu. now I have two questions.18:23
c2tarunjames147: 1. how can i tell kubuntu that where to look for home directory18:23
james147c2tarun: yes, though you will have to change /etc/fstab on /dev/sda1 to moung the software partition to /home :)18:24
c2tarunjames147: 2. During installation how can i tell ubuntu that use the home on dev/sda218:24
* genii-around ponders where the destination device "Software" resides18:24
james147c2tarun: during the partiton stage of the installer  just tell the installer to use the mount point /home, and make sure you uncheck the format option18:25
stuqPeace-: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/425291/m7.png18:25
Peace-stuq: systemsettings semantic desktop18:25
Peace-stuq: activate it18:25
Peace-i guess18:25
james147c2tarun: then you can mount /dev/sda1 somewhere and edit its /etc/fstab with an entry similar to the one that kubuntu created in the new partition18:25
c2tarunjames147: Ok i got the second suggestion, but didn't exactly understood about /etc/fstab file?18:25
james147c2tarun: /etc/fstab lists all drives that get mounted at boot, if you add an entry for /home then it will get mounted at boot18:26
james147!fstab18:26
ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions18:26
stuqPeace-: not seeing 'semantic desktop'  I have a 'desktop search'...18:26
stuqPeace-: and it is enabled already18:27
james147c2tarun: just make sur you copy the contents of /home, and not the /home folder :)18:27
stuqeh, it says Strigi is not running18:27
Peace-stuq: wait a moment18:27
c2tarunjames147: this is my fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/559632/18:27
c2tarunjames147: what to add into this?18:27
geekosopheranyone experienced any showstopper after upgrading maverick to kde 4.6? just checking before upgrading18:28
james147c2tarun: /dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 018:30
james147c2tarun: you can also replace /dev/sda3 with the UUID (like the way swap is done) or a LABEL18:31
Peace-stuq: mmm18:32
Peace-stuq: i have them activated18:32
Peace-stuq: could you just create a new user ?18:32
Peace-stuq: and test if that user has the same problem ?18:33
stuqsure i'll give it a shot18:33
stuqhave to attend to a client for a bit18:33
c2tarunjames147: what does defaults,noatime 0 0 means?18:33
james147defaults, sets the default options :0 noatime stops the file system updating access times when files are opened or read (this help improve preformance when reading files and almost nothing uses them :p)18:34
james147the first 0 does something... cen never remember but i think its best as 0 and the second disables boottime fscking of the partition18:35
c2tarunjames147: please check whether this is correct or not? http://paste.ubuntu.com/559634/18:36
james147yup18:36
james147running "sudo mount -a"  will mount everthing in /etc/fstab, so you can test it without rebooting18:36
james147altjhough i would copy the files over first ... and i am not sure what would happen if thes are being used :p18:37
c2tarunjames147: sorry to ask this, just let me summarize. These are the steps I summarized http://paste.ubuntu.com/559635/18:39
james147(just make sure you copy the contents of /home to the root of /dev/sda3  not in a subfolder18:39
c2tarunjames147:  root of /dev/sda3 means directly in sda3 as I don't think there is any root there18:40
james147c2tarun: yes, it means not in any subfolders18:40
c2tarunjames147:  sure, one more thing, i have to copy the contents of home folder or home folder?18:41
james147c2tarun: basically those steps are what you would do, but you wont beable to create a partition between /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3... i would delete /dev/sda2 (the extended partition that you swap is on) so you can reuse /dev/sda2)  ... best thing to do then is create a swap file (rather then partition) probally on the new /dev/sda218:42
james147!swapfile18:44
james147:p18:44
Peace-james147: :P18:44
c2tarunjames147: it is not possible to shrink sda1 and create a partition bw sda1 and 3?18:44
james147c2tarun: you can shrink /dev/sda1, but you need to also delete /dev/sda2 so you can reuse that primary partition... it only contains swap space so it should be safe18:45
james147c2tarun: you can then create a swapfile instead of a swap partition (behaves the same, but is located on a file rather then a partition)18:46
james147although swap is not very important on you computer with that much ram :)18:46
james147(so you can ignore the warning the installer will give you about not having any swap space and create it after instalation)18:47
* james147 notes that he still doesnt have any swap on his netbook with 2 gigs of ram :p and has never had a problem with it :D18:47
c2tarunjames147: its getting trickier and trickier :( I would do this into pieces, first i'll try to shift my home than i'll del swap and than i'll try something else. Still do i have to copy the contents of my home folder or my home folder?18:47
james147c2tarun: :) sorry, probally not explaining it very well :)18:48
c2taruncontents of home folder means -> files in /home/tarun and home folder means complete folder18:49
genii-aroundpersonal home folder is like /home/yourname  just home folder is /home18:50
c2tarunjames147:  contents of home folder means -> files in /home/tarun and home folder means complete folder18:50
genii-aroundso when you mount /home to sda99  then on sda99 you have only the names of the folders inside of /home18:51
james147c2tarun: i mean dont copy /home, but /home/*   (so that you dont end up with a home folder on /dev/sda3)18:51
c2tarunjames147: ok so after whole operation my home folder will contain its own contents and the contents of /dev/sda3 right?18:52
c2tarunjames147:  inside home folder there is a folder of my name, should i just copy that?18:52
james147c2tarun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559645/  << thats basically what you ahve to do after copying /home18:53
james147c2tarun: yes18:53
genii-aroundc2tarun: When you mount /dev/sda3 to /home    whatever was in /home  directory prior to mounting will not be visible18:54
james147^^ although still present, you just need to unmount it to see the old content again18:55
genii-aroundYes18:55
c2tarunjames147: something just happened, after editin fstab my dev/sda3 just vanished :( now where to copy /home/* ?18:57
james147c2tarun: whats the output of "mount"?18:58
james147and "ls /dev/sd*"?18:59
genii-aroundc2tarun: You shouldn't normally copy something directly to /dev/sda3   or so on. Only to the directory which it is mounted to19:02
genii-aroundhm19:02
james147^^ yeah :) mount it then copy... sorry was useing the device name to identify it :p19:03
c2tarunjames147: I just restored the original fstab file, wait.19:03
c2tarunjames147: let me reboot.19:03
c2tarunjames147: ya that partition came to life :)19:08
james147c2tarun: do you baically understand what you are doing?19:09
james147 /have to do19:09
c2tarunjames147: ya, i'll copy  the contents of my home folder to sda3 and mount that drive as my home folder. Then simple deletion of swap partition and installation of ubuntu with sda3 as home partition19:11
james147c2tarun: yup, afraid i have to go now, but if you have any problems genii-aroundor Peace- should be able to help if they are still around (or anyone else thats listening)  :)19:11
Moses|phoneWhat is kde network manager called?19:11
c2tarunjames147:  sure :) thanks a lot19:12
Moses|phoneAnyone know?19:12
james147Moses|phone: on maverick its a widget (i think... ) if you cant find the widgetrs then knetworkmanger19:12
genii-aroundc2tarun: Remember to copy files to the directory you mount /dev/sda3 into, and not to copy files directly to /dev/sda3    :)19:15
c2tarungenii-around: i just copied my /home/* directly into /dev/sda3. What should i do?19:16
Moses|phoneHow do I run knetwork manager from the konsole alone19:17

mosesiulian_, no i want to run this on a different WM19:27
genii-aroundc2tarun: Likely some files were not copied or not copied correctly from your original /home/name to /media/Software19:27
c2tarungenii-around: its impossible, there is just one folder in /home I copied that folder completely by `sudo cp -r tarun /media/Software/`19:28
genii-aroundc2tarun: Not impossible19:28
genii-aroundc2tarun: -r does not preserve permissions for example19:29
c2tarungenii-around: but i used sudo :(19:29
genii-aroundc2tarun: Also you have to specify all the hidden dot-files19:29
iulian_they should be on system settings but better dont change nothing think lan interface is auto configured19:29
genii-aroundc2tarun: Work needs me but I'll return in 5-7 minutes to help if you still require19:30
c2tarungenii-around: I think hidden dot files are inside /home/tarun and they must b copied with tarun, but still just let me check19:30
c2tarungenii-around: sure :)19:30
c2tarungenii-around: just ping me when you come back :) I need to ask something19:33

Peace-gorgonzola: bah i dunno it could be , or it could be your location that has problems19:43
Peace-:S19:44
gorgonzolawell, it IS upgrading. let's see what happens after reboot. in any case, i got worried because i had never had launchpad throwing out 404 on an ifficial repo...19:44

rosco_yis there an /etc/init.d script for restarting the network after I reboot my cable modem?21:48
rosco_yis "restart network-manager" the correct way to get back online after rebooting my cable modem?21:49
genii-aroundrosco_y: Is it an USB modem?21:51
rosco_ygenii-around: I am only connected to the modem using ethernet21:53
rosco_y(actually I have the modem connected to a router, and then my pc is ethernet to the router, but I think that's the same thing?21:54
genii-aroundrosco_y: OK. So normally the network manager should just adjust automatically. If it lost it's IP or so you could could do something like re-issue it with sudo dhclient -r eth0&& sudo dhclient eth021:55
genii-aroundrosco_y: Possibly the info which router gave by dhcp to computer ( DNS etc) needs updating21:55
rosco_ygenii-around: that sounds right.21:56
rosco_ywhen I ping anything I get "host not found"21:56
rosco_y(I think...I'm really lost with this networking stuff)21:56
genii-aroundrosco_y: I'd suggest powercycle router21:56
rosco_ygreat...that's what I'll try next.21:57
rosco_yI kind of suspect my cable company automatically drops my connection after a certain amount of time (it feels like once per day.)21:57
rosco_yI never had this kind of problem when I was using dsl21:58
rosco_ygenii-around: so would you say that if my modem has a valid connection to my provider, then power-cycling the router would update it's DNS?21:59
rosco_y(or something like that...my understanding is so weak on this.)21:59
gpcWhere can I get libqt4-multimedia or is it named differently in the repos?22:01
rosco_ywhat are the arguments for installing kubuntu vs. installing ubuntu?22:04
gpcpreference22:04
rosco_yI'm confused, when I go to the download sites, it seems that "10.10" is the latest version, but when I check my ubuntu version using the "System/About Ubuntu" menu, I seem to have 11.04 "Natty Narwhale" installed22:06
genii-aroundrosco_y: Apologies on lag, work needed me. But yes, if the modem is now synced with ISP, powercycling router then gets router it's proper routes and DNS22:06
genii-around( which then gets to computer by release/renew it's dhcp )22:06
rosco_ygenii-around: No appologies needed--you've been an awesome help--Thanks!22:06
genii-aroundrosco_y: You're welcome22:07
genii-aroundrosco_y: Ubuntu numbering is by year.month so 11.04 is 2011.April   which means you are running a pre-release22:08
rosco_yooch...I didn't intend to do that--run pre-releases, that is.22:08
rosco_yOK, I'm going to try kubuntu--does anyone recommend 64 bit over 32 bit, or vise-versa?22:11
genii-aroundrosco_y: Whichever is best for your processor :)22:12
rosco_ygenii-around: Thanks.  I have a 64 bit cpu and 8 gb RAM, but I notice that the 32 bit ubuntu download is "recommended" at the ubuntu download page.22:13
ricardo64 bits :) if your processor permits22:13
macorosco_y: thats just so that people who dont know what cpu architecture means dont grab one that just plain wont boot22:13
rosco_yricardo, genii-around, maco -- Thanks!22:14
maco"hey this one says 64. 64 is more than 32 so must be better! *download* hey it wont boot! ubuntu sucks!"22:14
genii-aroundrosco_y: The 32bit works on both so it is safe. Also some other stuff like flash plugin used to be almost unusable under 64bit22:14
macoand java used to be 32-bit only, but that changed a few years ago22:14
macowine too22:14
* genii-around slides maco a coffee22:15
macohahaha22:15
macoim more of a tea person, though not as much as mvo22:15
rosco_yIs the kubuntu CD download just as good as the DVD download?22:15
macoDVD download adds extra language packs22:15
macoi think thats the only difference22:15
rosco_y:) great...CD it is then...22:16
macoso if your language isnt on the CD, grab the DVD. other than that...22:16
ricardohttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=122:16
genii-aroundAlso more stuff from "main" repo so you can install more stuff from it if you use it as a local repo22:16
macogenii-around: i thought that was just ubuntu22:17
macocould look at the seeds i guess22:17
genii-aroundmaco: Hm, perhaps. I figured it was the same for both but i could be mistaken22:17
rosco_yGuess I'll just download the DVD, and then download what I need :)22:17
rosco_yoops, meant to say "download the CD"22:18
macogenii-around: well what goes on is up to the each desktop-dev team's decision...22:18
macoeww reading seeds isnt nice22:20
macothink would need to download them, sort, and diff. too lazy22:20
macogenii-around: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download scroll to "about the dvd"22:22

tripphttp://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git23:52
valorieto use something from git, you usually git clone23:54
valorieand then git pull for updates23:54
valoriecd to the build dir, and make install23:54
valorieor sudo make install, depending on where you put the src23:55
valorieso you would not be adding to the repos23:55
valoriewould be much easier to find the driver you need in the repos or just use jockey23:56
