[02:13] <jszigah_> Can someone tell me how to add the update the source list
[02:14] <jszigah_> i'm having problems editing it. I think I'm doing it wrong
[02:18] <jszigah_>  Can someone tell me how to add the update the source list. i'm having problems editing it. I think I'm doing it wrong
[02:18] <jszigah_> for linuxmce 8.10
[02:23] <amason> jszigah_: can just add it manually to /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:23] <jszigah_> I tried but it will not let me save it.
[02:30] <amason> jszigah_: it's owned by root
[02:30] <amason> you will probably want to sudo to root first
[02:30] <amason> then edit it
[02:31] <amason> or sudo $EDITIOR /etc/apt/sources
[02:31] <jszigah_> I sent you a direct chat
[02:33] <amason> jszigah_: yeh i closed it, it's really not polite to do so without asking first. Also it's better to hold the discussion in the channel so other people can see / comment on it. If i tell you to do somethign which someone doesn't think is a good idea then they can provide their opinion etc..
[02:34] <amason> well the editor i like to use is vi but you can use nano or whatever you like. so i would type
[02:34] <amason> vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:34] <jszigah_> ok. do I go into terminal
[02:35] <amason> yes. you can launch kate with kdesu if you so wish also
[02:36] <amason> which you can execute from krunner
[02:41] <jszigah_> I'm lost with this. I need step by step instructions.
[02:48] <zhanlin> gad help me
[02:48] <zhanlin> god help e
[02:48] <zhanlin> me
[02:49] <amason> jszigah_: what are you actually trying to do
[02:52] <jszigah_> I'm trying to Install LinuxMCE8.10. I'm at the part where I have edit the source.list before I run the sudo apt-get update
[02:55] <amason> jszigah_: right ok well i don't know what linux MCE is or what it requires. If you wish to add  a line to sources.list you can either use the program kpackagekit
[02:55] <amason> which is available in your 'K' menu
[02:55] <amason> or you can open a terminal ( konsole )
[02:56] <amason> type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:56] <amason> does that make sense ?
[02:56] <jszigah_> alittle
[02:57] <amason> so which part is un-clear
[02:57] <jhoc2x2> good morning to all
[02:57] <jszigah_> I did it but I have a whole script to insert
[02:57] <amason> jszigah_: a whole script ?
[02:57] <jhoc2x2> hello... i am a fresh Kubuntu user...
[02:58] <amason> jszigah_: what does the script look like ? pastebin please
[02:59] <jszigah_> sent
[03:01] <amason> please pastebin
[03:01] <sagaci> paste link?
[03:01] <amason> don't pm me
[03:01] <jszigah_> sorry
[03:01] <jszigah_> http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810
[03:01] <amason> no
[03:01] <amason> screw it, i'm gone
[03:08] <jhoc2x2> can I use my built-in camera ?
[03:16] <jhoc2x2> !audio
[03:17] <jhoc2x2> !mic

[04:13] <ademos> KDE 4.6 + NVIDIA Binary Driver --- Since KDE 4.3 I have been noticing an issue with KDE Panels ----- Autohide gets stuck, and the panel will not hide until a reboot or logout.
[04:13] <ademos> Any ideas?
[04:13] <ademos> If it helps, I'm using Kubuntu 10.04
[04:15] <ademos> I fouind a fix here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/applications/62285-kde-panel-auto-hide-broken.html
[04:15] <ademos> dcop kicker Panel restart
[04:16] <ademos> But if I have to restart the panel, then there's some kind of bug
[04:21] <ademos> Should I file a bug  report? Or is this a known issue with Kicker (the panel)?
[04:21] <sh1ft3d> is there a way to set up shell menus for multi-button mouses?
[04:25] <ademos> I think my bug may be related to this OTHER panel autohide bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258012
[04:25] <ruffdog> silly question.  I used a partition manager as I was trying to resolve something on one of my drives.  I somehow messed up my config file and can't fix.  I have WinVista and linux dual boot.  I can access both drives separately.  In linux I can't access WinVista drive though.  Any help would be great.
[04:25] <ademos> Oooh, thanks ubottu

[15:06] <eMyller> hey. has anyone tried a multiseat setup on kubuntu? i need some guiding to start. thanks in advance.
[15:08] <BluesKaj> eMyller,a multiseat setup on kubuntu?? ..pls elaborate
[15:09] <eMyller> BluesKaj: there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX and http://kahuna.clayton.edu/byron/multiseat-kdm.html . i want to try it, but it must be fail safe, as my main machine is in production right now.
[15:17] <BluesKaj> ok, eMyller looks like several work stns connected to a central server...never had to deal with that.
[15:17] <eMyller> k, np
[15:20] <BluesKaj> eMyller, you could ask in #ubuntu , it's full of knowledgable ppl , some nice some not so nice , but I'm sure someone there can help
[15:23] <eMyller> BluesKaj: thanks.
[16:42] <sobczyk> hi, is there any reason why kubuntu might not detect power jack? Sometimes my laptop does not show it plugging. Hardware iirc is fine because charge diode is working
[16:55] <suri> hello
[16:56] <surex> suri: welcome :)
[16:56] <suri> actually i am a very new user of linux
[16:59] <Daskreech> suri: Welcome to Linux and KDE :)
[17:00] <nata> suri: welcome. hope you will become fancy of linux
[17:01] <suri> thank you all i must say IRC is very helpful
[17:07] <suri> can any one tell me how to view  the list of channels in konversation
[17:07] <maco> suri: on most servers you can type /list, but freenode is huge and that puts an undue strain on it, so there's a bot here named alis which you can ask
[17:08] <suri> alis
[17:08] <maco> suri: /msg alis list searchterm
[17:08] <maco> so to see ubuntu channels..
[17:09] <maco>  /msg alis list *ubuntu*
[17:17] <nata> linux is open source, got any way company can earn money from his software like in windows?
[17:26] <maco> nata: sell support contracts to take advantage of the fact that most corporations require a support contract for any software not developed in-house so they have someone else to blame at 3am
[17:26] <maco> nata: thats what red hat and canonical do
[17:27] <nata> maco: but this cannot help develop of many new small software from other ability company
[17:28] <maco> nata: some projects charge for binaries. XChat does this on Windows
[17:28] <maco> anyone can get to the source, but if they don't know how to compile or don't want to deal with compiling...
[17:29] <DarthFrog> Or you can have two versions, on of which is only of interest to paying customers.
[17:29] <nata> maco: this is disadvantage for linux become famous OS. More company will choosing win as dominant
[17:32] <nata> dn't know future debian package manager can easy install rpm or not.
[17:35] <maco> nata: windows licenses and canonical support contracts cost about the same. i think canonical is actually about $50 less
[17:35] <maco> nata: usually though, a switch to linux isnt about price up-front for a company, it's about their reliability needs
[17:36] <maco> though, it is often from solaris or aix or something....
[17:36] <maco> it's expensive to retrain sysadmins, but if you've got old unix admins
[17:36] <maco> well its a lot easier to retrain them to linux than to retrain them to windows
[17:36] <maco> "what do you mean i cant pipe sed and awk together with a bit of perl?!?!"
[17:37] <nata> maco: contract cost will earn from enterprise only. windows more powerful, wan use, money come 1st.
[17:37] <maco> "wan use"?
[17:38] <nata> haha, i dn't know how to use
[17:38] <maco> it is generally agreed that there's no money in the desktop, period.  servers are where it is. microsoft makes practically nothing from windows
[17:38] <maco> the vast majority of microsoft's money is from Office
[17:38] <maco> because most windows licenses are free or like $10 to the OEMs. few people pay full price
[17:39] <nata> dn't know why people got free Ooo still like to be use office
[17:40] <andrey__> привет русские люди
[17:40] <maco> because MS Office's formats are poorly documented and inconsistent.  if you have to deal regularly with them, OOo can be insufficient. if, on the other hand, you just have to be able to open them and read....OOo is fine. i rarely distribute docs from OOo, just use PDF, but thats no use if the other person needs to edit it too
[17:40] <maco> !ru | andrey__
[17:41] <Eruaran__> Most people don't need to edit PDF's they receive
[17:41] <nata> the seller like to preinstll windows to earn more directly cause linux not easy to come in for more new user
[17:42] <maco> Eruaran__: i'm saying PDF is the wrong format to use if the other person wants to edit it, but doc is also unusable for mutual editing if the formating is at all complicated and one of you is using OOo
[17:42] <maco> Eruaran__: normally i use PDF output from OOo since i know it'll open right elsewhere, but if i need the other person to be able to edit, then i have to use doc and then it'll break
[17:42] <maco> and THAT is pretty much microsoft's plan to keep people using MS Office
[17:43] <maco> get them to buy it for compatibility reasons
[17:43] <Eruaran__> indeed. that is why they corrupted ODF
[17:43] <maco> right
[17:43] <maco> thankfully i know very few windows users who don't also have a linux machine sitting around, so i just use odt :)
[17:44] <nata> microsoft is vy...
[17:46] <nata> linux need to become famous so that more hardware support for it. No need like me always need to exchange back windows sometime.
[17:47] <nata> you know the different of opensuse and kubuntu or not?
[17:48] <nata> just differnt in 1 is use rpm another is deb isit?
[17:52] <wbsx> does anyone else get random x crashes when pressing alt+tab with kde 4.6 and kubuntu 10.10?
[17:52] <nata> wbsx: no crash. test already
[17:58] <wbsx> it doesn't crash everytime i press alt+tab
[17:58] <wbsx> but sometimes
[18:00] <nata> i more suggest got 2 account. everytime got big upgrade use 2nd account to enable completely upgrade for 1st account
[18:03] <maco> wbsx: no crashes from that for me
[18:04] <nitin007> i got banned in other channel suggest in private how could i rejoin it please
[18:04] <nitin007> i got banned in other channel suggest in private how could i rejoin it please
[18:04] <maco> nitin007: stop repeating yourself
[18:04] <maco> nitin007: was it an ubuntu channel?
[18:04] <nitin007> i got banned in other channel suggest in private how could i rejoin it please
[18:04] <nitin007> i got banned in other channel suggest in private how could i rejoin it please
[18:04] <nata> wbsx: sometime crashing is cause by other software
[18:04] <maco> gosh, trying to get removed from here too?
[18:06] <nata> like my network manager kubuntu. sometime click connect few times will cause x crash

[22:36] <ChrisE> has anyone managed to get a creative x-fi card working under kubuntu 10.10?  works out of the box under11.04alpha1 but that's a bit risky for me
[22:40] <DarthFrog> Works fine for me.
[22:41] <DarthFrog> I am using pulse and I have to manually un-mute the volume control everytime I boot.
[22:43] <ChrisE> i don't see any channels in the mixer that are actually connected to the outside world, just dummies
