In those nine months I learned a lot, and tried many different distributions. [03:39] I even tried fluxbox on linux arch. [03:40] It's too much for such a user like me. [03:40] If it was physics or astronomy I'd dig more [03:40] you are talking of which vresion [03:40] i mean about [03:41] naryfa: no need 1 year, sometime clever people like you 1 month already expert.hehe === root is now known as Guest4748 [03:42] woh had you tried the version 10.14 [03:42] naryfa: accually linux just diffence in 2 main version i found, rpm and debian. another just using difference desktop enviroment [03:43] castellino: got 10.14 in ubuntu?

[03:50] i wanted to make my mobile phone be my modem there is not another method [03:51] http://www.joemonster.org/filmy/33141/Powrot_Jedi [03:51] i din try before. .. [03:51] have fun [03:51] (excuse me for my english i am francophone) [03:51] hehe [03:52] but i will succeed [03:52] castellino: what does that mean? [03:52] castellino: I wish you that [03:53] i also have difficulty to get a c compiler for kubuntu [03:54] do you people like to hack? [03:55] You have to know the language to do that, no? [03:56] which language [03:56] c [03:56] ah ok i have some tutorials [03:57] I only know a little CSH and BASH [03:57] that's it for now [03:58] and I'm pretty new to it [03:58] i started to read them but i noticed that without compiler i will not go far [03:58] can you teach me some [04:00] castellino: you should get a book, off the torrents, a pdf [04:00] and read some stuff [04:02] stuff like [04:03] do you know "learn c in 21 days" [04:03] castellino: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [04:03] castellino: if you want C, look on torrents [04:03] castellino: it doesn't matter which book you choose [04:06] i am lacking word to express you my gratitude [04:06] nata: you're still here?

[04:12] I'm creating usb stick in windows through unetbootin, it's stuck on wubi. I'd stop it but it still needs to install a bootloader so I have to wait. [04:13] hey i am just starting with programming i want to know how long it will take me to learn c? [04:13] as long as you devote yourself to it [04:14] do it every day and you'll have enough knowledge to program in few weeks [04:14] But remember that no language is perfect. [04:14] castellino: I'm just learning how to cook how long will take me to learn to Fricasse ? [04:14] So you don't need to know everything [04:15] damn unetbootin doesn't want to finish [04:15] naryfa :do you have a dell laptop ? because you can succeed in what you were asking for by downloading a drivers which does it [04:16] naryfa: if you wan install in wubi why not using vertual drive to detect ubuntu-iso then can direct install [04:17] no no, I only wanted unetbootin to create the usb installation disk, I'm tired of copying files between two computers. Thought it would finish faster. Guess I'll have to put it off [04:19] oh [04:19] oh oh oh [04:19] but thank you for intentions :) [04:19] it counts [04:19] do you know cameroon?

[04:43] i scare [04:44] the same can happen or risk to in my coun try too [04:45] For me, seeing this in america, I feel helpless. There is nothing I want more than to be able to assist in the fight for independence and liberty. Seeing the government response fueled with american weapons angers and makes me very sad [04:45] i think keep our life safety more important [04:46] selecsosi: where you form?

I have very bad feelings about what our finances will be like in 5-10 years. America is a great place but it is very bloated. [04:51] Many people have very poor work ethics and expect to be handed things. [04:51] That can only work for so long [04:52] i have two cousin in seattle [04:52] I like seattle a lot [04:53] ah ah ah no one knows how to hack a gsm modem with ubuntu [04:54] or kubuntu [04:54] i don know [04:54] selecsosi ?????????? [04:55] I don't know much about corporate network protocols [04:55] what is that? [04:55] I understand how gsm's work, but I dont know how to get access to an external network [04:55] GSM's work by hopping onto an existing wireless signal [04:56] I can configure them, but I don't know how to get them authenticated onto network they are not designed to work with [04:57] castellino: how you get access internet today? [04:58] with "orange" gsm modem [04:58] orange is a telecom agency in my country [04:59] then why still need hacking gsm? [05:00] we pay the month 10 000 f FCA=22,22 dollar [05:00] for a scholar like me it's very expensive [05:01] for my classmates i am rich [05:01] ho.. [05:02] like me here, arround 22 dollor can get 512k only. very slow, that is what i using now [05:03] 4M arround usd45 like that i think [05:04] i am in a catholic university (school of engineering) and the school fees is not cheap too. my connection is 100 k [05:07] rgreening: your connection is free? because the proxy of your server is an anonymous one [05:08] i wanna go eatting already. bye [05:09] ok enjoy your meal [05:14] how can i uninstall wine programs in kubuntu? the method that i used didn't work [06:46] Hey guys, me again. On a totally new system this time. [06:46] Anyone want to help with some first-timer woes/ [06:46] *? [06:47] My system is only booting about half the time and I can't for the life of me figure out why. [06:48] How can I make it boot with a nice console screen instead of the information-free splash screen? [06:48] Rask: turn off the "quiet splash" stuff in grub [06:48] lemme find the file [06:48] i assume you mean permanently? [06:48] I'd like to, but I dont even -see- GRUB. [06:48] if you hold shift during boothe grub menu comes up and you can edit it for just that boot [06:48] otherwise... [06:49] Oh, ok, let me try holding shift [06:49] Rask: edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub [06:49] then run "sudo update-grub" [06:49] (if you want it to be a semi-permanent change) [06:50] Okay, I see grub and I'm in the little editor [06:50] Should I just backspace over the "quiet splash" part? [06:50] yup [06:51] Okay, we got through it this time. [06:51] Ok, so to make this permanent... [06:52] What should I change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to? [06:54] Just blank? [06:57] Okay, trying blank. [07:01] Yay, it works X) [07:01] I has some video woes, though. System does -not- like having two monitors plugged in. [07:01] And the main monitor is not being supported at its proper resolution. [07:03] Is that because nouveau doesn't know how? [07:11] ...Anyone still here? :( [07:12] ....kpackagekit just segfaulted? the fuck? [07:13] so use the command line [07:13] what? o_o [07:13] use it for what/ [07:14] well kpackagekit is just a front end for apt [07:14] and apt you can conveniently use from the command line [07:14] I know, but... I wasn't doing anything with it and it segfaulted. [07:14] Is that anywhere near normal? [07:14] i wouldnt think so [07:15] *sigh* Okay, we'll not question that. X.x [07:18] Anyway [07:18] The main oddness I'm trying to deal with here is that something seems to be awry with my video [07:18] I plug in two monitors and one remains in sleep mode while the other's not being recognized [07:19] er [07:19] 有人吗 [07:19] I mean to say, I can't set it above 1280x1024 [07:20] chinese room?? [07:20] It seems very strange to me that nouveau would be unable to support either of these things, but... how do I know what video driver I'm using anyway? [07:20] And how do I get the binary nvidia driver in? [07:21] run the additional drives module [07:21] that will install the latest nvidia drivers for you then setup yoru twin monitors [07:28] lostson: What's the additional drives module? [07:31] should be in the system section of the menu [07:32] do you not get a notification that additional drivers are available ? [07:32] lostson: Nope. [07:32] ubuntu [07:32] :) [07:32] lostson: Is it in a different place in kubuntu versus ubuntu? [07:33] must be [07:34] ...Am I shooting myself in the foot by using Kubuntu? :/ It's really frustrating trying to find support for it. [07:35] no i dont think so [07:35] Well, anyway.. for lack of any better ideas, I installed the nvidia-current package. Does that select it or do I have to do something else to make X use it? [07:36] that should install and set it up you will have to reboot to get it to work [07:36] Okay, here we gooooo. [07:36] ok [07:37] hrf. No difference... [07:38] One monitor out of two, wrong resolutions. [07:38] how can I find out whether the device is using the driver? [07:38] well to get both monitors to work you would have to either edit your xorg.conf or use the nvidia-settings tool [07:38] nvidia-xconfig? [07:39] hit alt+F2 and type in nvidia-settings and hit enter [07:39] "The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help' for usage information. [07:40] that should bring up a little app that you can setup your nvidia card they way you wantn it [07:42] lostson: It's not bringing anything up except that message about the control display being undefined. [07:43] something isnt right then either nvidia didnt install right or something else is jacked up [07:44] cuz when you hit alt+F2 at the top of the screen you should get a run dialog and if you type in nvidia-settings it should bring that app up if it isnt something is wrong somewhere [07:44] Trying to access an audio file on this website - http://government.georgetown.edu/tocquevilleforum/90291.html - I can't seem to find a program that can open it. Any ideas? [07:44] so either nvidia isnt installed or something else is configured wrong [07:44] Well, here's the link - https://mediapilot.georgetown.edu/sharestream2gui/getMedia.do?action=streamMedia&mediaPath=0d2117cd2650ee6d0126d8cac6c4064f&cid=0d21b6201df9d7e6011e20cfb5eb0052&userFrom [07:45] Urgh. Okay, I just rebooted and X didn't start. :( [07:46] Anyone have any ideas? [07:48] Philo: Tried VLC? [07:48] Would it be able to do a streamed file? [07:48] Or network stream* [07:49] Sure. [07:50] Giving it a download, hopefully it works. [07:50] It says it's a .do - whatever that is. [07:51] It's likely a redirect. [07:51] Ah [07:52] Nope, no-go on that route as well. [07:53] Sorry, that was my only idea. D: [07:53] They should really just put those things in .mp3s.. [07:55] VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [09:56] Does anybody know in which version KDE changed the systemsetting menu to a single view? Before it was two tabs basic/advanced.

[15:15] upgrades [15:15] ok :) [15:15] 2 questions: how do I install LAMP from the command line and how do setup my installation to allow me to play / view DVD's ? [15:15] rtdos: there's a meta package for lamp [15:16] !lamp [15:16] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [15:16] shadeslayer_ what does it mean different in edgy++ ? [15:17] !medibuntu | rtdos [15:17] rtdos: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:17] rtdos: all releases above Edgy [15:17] and that ^^ [15:17] thanks shadeslayer [15:17] thx blueskaj [15:17] more specifically you need vlc and/or libdvdcss [15:18] rtdos, after installing the medibuntu repos , just make sure you have libdvdcss2 installed , then you can play drm protected dvds etc [15:18] that's what i thought, shadeslayer_ but i can't find the ubuntu website page that references it. [15:18] rtdos: install libdvdcss2 [15:18] libdvdcss2 - ok got it. gonna go try it now. [15:18] thanks guys. [15:19] ok im not sure what fixed,but its fixed [15:19] bbl [15:20] Thanx Guys [15:20] hi [15:20] blueskaj! [15:21] ill get it one these days lol [15:21] I like Kubuntu. But, I want to keep only PIM software and get rid of anything else. How can I do that? [15:23] none responded. [15:23] mallik: are you on gnome? [15:24] mallik: just install kdepim packages ... [15:24] but i'm pretty sure they will pull in KDE Libraries and friends which are required for it to work [15:24] I have both. Gnome on my hard disk, Kubunut on my vbox. But I am interested kubuntu only for PIM and social networking. All other desktop apps, i dont need. [15:25] yeah just install the PIM Packages [15:25] its like a scaled down to PIM version kubuntu, so that I keep my PIM safe somewhere else than my regular desktop. Hope you understand what I mean. [15:25] kdepim should do it [15:26] mallik: you can run kdepim in gnome, if that's what you're talking about [15:26] I already have kdepim, my point is, i want to have only kdepim on my kubuntu desktop, nothing esle. [15:26] oh [15:26] that's not possible [15:27] hmmm :( [15:27] you could remove a few packages, but you need most of them for a GUI env [15:27] for eg. you could remove rekonq [15:27] yes, I got your point. [15:28] * james147 suggests: 1) install kdepim on ubuntu and use it directly without a vm, 2) remove any package you dont need from the kubuntu vm (not as easy as it sounds) 3) get a distro you can build from the ground up and only install what you wnat (like arch) [15:29] i found that kdepim and dependencies come around 150mb, in that case whats the size of UI out of 700mb? cant i strip off few mbs? [15:29] guess i like the 3 rd one. [15:29] ^^ and 4) dont worry about saving a mb of space in a vm ^^ [15:29] actually I was looking at tinycore [15:30] well its not only mb, but any services eating up into my cpu/memory. [15:31] mallik: if you are running a vm just to use kdepim, that why are you worring about space? you already duplicating the coreutils and everything else.... i hiighly suggest you dont use a vm if you want to save space... kdepim can be installed on gnome and used nativly in ubuntu [15:31] ^^ space and resources [15:32] thanks for your responses. [15:33] ^^ hell, installing kubuntu-desktop inside ubuntu will take up less pace and resources then useing a vm... and then you can chose a full kde or gnome enviroment and use all the applicaitons in both [15:35] James, I take your point, actually I have installed it the way you suggest in your latest. For me, my PIM, my journals, events, calendars should be able to be isolated from regular stuff. thats why I just thought if I can scale down. [15:36] well it seems to be a difficult job. [15:36] I might think to put kdepim on tinycore and see how it goes. [15:37] mallik: why do they need to be isolated? [15:38] how to address here privately, am pretty new to irc chat. [15:39] mallik: /msg nick [15:39] mallik: /msg nick [15:39] ok === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su === schoenaker is now known as Triton === Triton is now known as Triton1986 === amine27_ is now known as Amine27 === tchangang is now known as tta [17:02] hello [17:05] i want to burn ubuntu 10.10 with nero on windows; how can i make it bootable [17:07] tta, if you download the kubuntu live cd file in windows and burn it to cd it's bootable [17:08] tta, , just make sure your cdrom is first in the boot sequence , you can set that in the BIOS === v1 is now known as Guest70644 [17:11] !live-cd | tta [17:11] dumb bot [17:11] !live [17:11] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive.

[17:56] kpackagekit [17:56] apt-get [17:57] thanks [17:57] You could also install Synaptic, if that is what your prefer [17:57] Is synaptic for gnome? [17:57] ya [17:58] Sure, but many people use Synaptic in KDE anyway. [17:58] synaptic more better === v1 is now known as Guest9723 [17:58] really? [17:58] kpackagekit stil need further improve [17:59] !synaptic [17:59] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

[18:48] ^^ [18:49] ah yes it's very important [18:54] there is no body to help me please [18:54] tta: either tell us why you are trying to do that or look up the definition of floating point numbers given by the ieee standard [18:56] i need to build a program for scientific calculation ;i am doing mechanical engineering [18:58] tta: then just create a varible of type float (or better yet double) and assign the value of pi to it... or do the sane thing and use the Math library of the language you are using, most already have a definition of pi [18:59] be more explicit [18:59] hi all [18:59] tta: i cannot without knowing what lauguage you are using [18:59] c [19:01] tta: then use PI from math.h [19:01] and...

This repository is not part of the Ubuntu distribution and the software is completely unsupported by the Ubuntu team, but the original authors may offer some support. [19:21] i leave [20:35] is gnome3 better than kde ? [20:36] *that* is a very subjective question - also I think they're hard to compare since gnome3 isn't even released yet [20:36] i mean like beauty wise/ ease of use.. the website has option to download it [20:37] is it worth it ? [20:37] no idea, haven't tried it yet, I'll try it once it comes out [20:37] its coming out in april 11 i think; with ubuntu 11.04.. [20:38] it's supposed to come out in april yes, but ubuntu 11.04 won't have gnome3 [20:38] why ever not ? [20:39] it would be stable by then.. ? [20:39] you'll have to ask the ubuntu release managers that - they decided to go with unity for 11.04 [20:40] oh well; anyone know a GUI program or sumthing to edit GRUB2 list of OS coz its got like a billion options right now :D [20:41] i wouldn't mind commands as long as they arent excessive; i read sumthing about editing grub.cfg file [20:42] pardus [20:44] samad: that file isn't meant to be edited, you'll have to either edit /etc/default/grub for simple settings and the files in /etc/grub.d/ for more in-depth changes (the changes in /etc/grub.d/ are reset though I think when you get a grub update - not sure) [20:45] thanks; so next time i boot it will have fewer options ?
