| Kazilla | well i have a problem with kde desktop so im here | 00:46 |
| Kazilla | if it was with a ubuntu package probably go #ubuntu or forum | 00:46 |
| Wat_Nu | Okay.... I am just finding my way.... ;) | 00:47 |
| Wat_Nu | I installed Kubuntu recently, but I have no problems with it yet.............. | 00:48 |
| Kazilla | yeah i manage webservers but thinking of using ubuntu as my desktop | 00:49 |
| Kazilla | but need some basics ironing out before i do | 00:50 |
| valorie | there is also a #kde channel for KDE-specific questions | 00:50 |
| Wat_Nu | I installed Kubuntu beside Kanotix as an exercise... it was not very much an exercise since it was so easy... It was a piece of cake so to say... | 00:52 |
| Wat_Nu | Kubuntu is quite pleasant.... | 00:52 |
| tta | which version do you have? | 00:53 |
| Wat_Nu | 10.10 | 00:53 |
| Kazilla | yes leave a nice gloss candy taste in my mouth when i lick the screen | 00:54 |
| Wat_Nu | yuck! | 00:54 |
| Kazilla | tastes like peppermint | 00:54 |
| Wat_Nu | lol | 00:55 |
| Wat_Nu | tta ? | 00:57 |
| Kazilla | hmm folder view seems to be working ok for me now after restart | 01:00 |
| Kazilla | a bit wierd though it showed a wird box | 01:00 |
| Kazilla | maybe vmware problem | 01:00 |
| tta | wat nu: i still be present is just that i am doing something else | 01:01 |
| Wat_Nu | tta: Why did you ask for the version? Anything I should be made aware of? | 01:02 |
| Wat_Nu | tta: ok. | 01:02 |
| === Guest690000 is now known as Ubuntux | ||
| Wat_Nu | tta: ;) | 01:03 |
| tta | i ask for the version to know where i can find the update file of the version 9.10 that i have | 01:04 |
| Kazilla | isn't that done just by apt-get dist-upgrade? | 01:05 |
| Wat_Nu | I am too unexperient for answering this... | 01:06 |
| tta | no problem | 01:07 |
| Wat_Nu | :) | 01:07 |
| Wat_Nu | tta: via Kpackagekit? | 01:08 |
| Kazilla | that should do it as well | 01:09 |
| Kazilla | kpackagekit is kubuntus aptitude i believe | 01:09 |
| === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway | ||

| Kazilla | windows should have one lol | 01:11 |
| Wat_Nu | I am used to apt-get, better with synaptic... | 01:12 |
| kkathman | Anyone know how you go about editing your own personal wiki page in Ubuntu? It's been a while and it seems things have changed | 01:12 |
| Kazilla | kkathman, do you mean mediawiki? | 01:12 |
| tta | wat nu: to have a new version is difficult i am in africa and here the internet is very slow | 01:14 |
| Kazilla | oh the ubuntu-wiki - i havent used it | 01:14 |
| valorie | you have to create an account | 01:14 |
| valorie | and then just go for it | 01:15 |
| valorie | copy someone's page that you like, and use your info instead of theirs | 01:15 |
| Kazilla | thanks again - bye! | 01:17 |
| Wat_Nu | tta: I am sorry. In that case I cannot help you.... On the whole I am also very unexperient ..... I am so sorry.. :( | 01:20 |

| Wat_Nu | Hi Golfgeo ! | 01:21 |
| Golfgeo | Got a question... Looking to download the new kubuntu cd and while version 4.6 was anounced, it's not selectable on the download page... Am I wrong or just missing something? | 01:21 |
| Wat_Nu | 4.6 referrs to KDE as far as I know... | 01:22 |
| kkathman | I finally got it edited :) I have a personal page, but it was way out of date :) | 01:23 |
| Golfgeo | hmm... wikipedia mentions version 11.04 and I can only download version 10.10 | 01:23 |
| Golfgeo | Ic Wat_Nu | 01:23 |
| valorie | 11.04 is in alpha still | 01:23 |
| Golfgeo | ah :D | 01:23 |
| tta | http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download | 01:23 |
| Golfgeo | prominent focus on the release though... | 01:24 |
| Golfgeo | but, oke, no new live cd for me for now haha | 01:24 |
| Golfgeo | Thanks mates :-) | 01:24 |
| Wat_Nu | Golfgeo: ;) | 01:25 |

| xorred | my kubuntu 10.10 install is stuck at 66%, "running grug on /dev/sda", top shows 100% cpu of ubiquity for 15 minutes already | 01:34 |
| xorred | wt.F | 01:34 |
| xorred | grub* | 01:34 |
| xorred | what do I do? | 01:34 |
| xorred | and why the hell would it use 100% cpu for that long | 01:34 |
| xorred | does that mean my boot record is toast as well as the kubuntu install | 01:35 |
| xorred | hdd is on 100% all the time too... for 15 minutes | 01:35 |
| xorred | anyone of the 244 people here alive? | 01:36 |
| Golfgeo | yep, but not had that problem, since I am addicted to lilo :-D | 01:37 |
| Golfgeo | gtg too | 01:37 |
| xorred | how is that related to the kubuntu installer | 01:38 |
| Golfgeo | Thanks mates and have fun! :-) | 01:38 |
| xorred | which never uses lilo anyway... | 01:38 |
| xorred | damn this installer.. just toasted my box | 01:38 |
| Wat_Nu | xorred: I am alive but I cannot help you. My Kubuntu 10.10 install went as easy as anything. Was your download okay, was the md5 sum okay? | 01:43 |
| xorred | it was stuck at writing grub | 01:44 |
| xorred | I doubt md5 would be th eissue | 01:44 |
| Wat_Nu | cd defect? | 01:44 |
| xorred | nope | 01:44 |
| xorred | well, it got to 66% | 01:44 |
| xorred | writing grub is like the final step | 01:44 |
| Wat_Nu | xorred: Sorry, I am not an expert, more likely a beginner... :( | 01:46 |
| Wat_Nu | It is nearly 2:50 am in Germany. It is time for me to repair to bed... gn8 everybody..... | 01:49 |

| jcgs | hi :) does anyone know how to type in a symbol? why doesn't crtl+alt+e and things like that work? | 01:59 |
| tta | system>preference>keyboard shortcut ;) | 02:01 |
| jcgs | tta: can that help my type symbols from the keyboard? in windows crtl+alt+e gives you an e with accute accent | 02:02 |
| rufsketch1 | guys, I'm at wits end | 02:04 |
| rufsketch1 | I need help | 02:04 |
| tta | th reference that i gave you is to change the kubuntu short into your suitable own | 02:04 |
| rufsketch1 | I updated kubuntu using the ppa repos | 02:04 |
| rufsketch1 | on my girlfriend's machine | 02:04 |
| tta | i am talking to jcgs | 02:04 |
| tta | and | 02:05 |
| rufsketch1 | and now kdenetwork manager won't list any wireless networks in the plasma widget | 02:05 |
| rufsketch1 | or bother to connect | 02:05 |
| rufsketch1 | The same update on my laptop didn't result in any such problem | 02:05 |
| rufsketch1 | she's using ath5k drivers from what I can gather | 02:05 |
| jcgs | sorry rufsketch1, this isn't msn, can you type everything as one line pls | 02:05 |
| rufsketch1 | jcgs: ah, sorry. | 02:06 |
| jcgs | rufsketch1: thanks :) it gets confusing otherwise, and things disappear off the screen too quickly | 02:06 |
| tta | he he he | 02:07 |
| tta | you are rigth you know | 02:07 |
| rufsketch1 | So can anyone help? | 02:08 |
| jcgs | tta: I've found "keyboard settings" but there doesn't seem to be much enlightening in there except "Shift with numeric keypad works as in ms windows" but i don't have a numeric keypad because i'm on a laptop :( | 02:08 |
| jcgs | rufsketch1: this may not be what you want to hear, but the way i solved my general wireless malaise was to do a clean install | 02:10 |
| rufsketch1 | jcgs: that is very much not what I want to hear. | 02:10 |
| tta | which laptop | 02:10 |
| tta | the mark | 02:10 |
| jcgs | rufsktech1: can you just remove the ppas and downgrade? presumably you've already tried that | 02:11 |
| aleiex | hi, anyone knows how to restrat panel on kubuntu 10-10? | 02:11 |
| jcgs | tta: toshiba satellite l300, but i'm not sure that's relevant, is it? | 02:12 |
| rufsketch1 | jcgs: sort of tried it | 02:12 |
| tta | no but i am cofuse what is your os | 02:12 |
| jcgs | aleiex: could you elaborate a little bit, what do you mean by "restart panel"? | 02:12 |
| rufsketch1 | I tried to manually remove the ppas but it didn't seem to care | 02:12 |
| jcgs | tta: kubuntu 10.10 | 02:12 |
| rufsketch1 | is there a command to remove the ppas? | 02:13 |
| jcgs | rufsketch1: have you looked for them in the software sources are of the add/remove software in system settings? | 02:14 |
| rufsketch1 | jcgs: yes, that's the thing that didn't work. Which is why I was wondering if there was a command | 02:14 |
| jcgs | rufsketch1: try poking around in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* you'll have to remove them in a text editor | 02:16 |
| jcgs | rufsketch1: you could do: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:17 |
| tta | some command in windows will not in kubuntu so if you are not able to change your command with your keyboard try the visual keyboardof kubuntu | 02:17 |
| jcgs | tta: that's really slow though, I'm sure there must be a way to do this, someone must have thought of it, surely | 02:18 |
| jcgs | tta: I think I've got it, setting "compose key position" to "right alt" has worked a charm :) | 02:23 |
| jcgs | tta: actually, I've decided that "menu" is a better choice, since typing euro works as normal :) | 02:26 |
| tta | jcgs:excuse me for that interruption i have some problem with my gsm modem | 02:26 |
| jcgs | tta: no worries :) | 02:26 |
| jcgs | sorry chaps, I've got to get up early in the morning (well early for lazy students, anyway) see you soon :) | 02:27 |

| Guest57426 | how can i update kbuntu 10.4LTS to 10.10 | 02:29 |
| valorie | !upgrade | 02:30 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 02:30 |
| rufsketch1 | can anyone provide some solution that doesn't involve downgrading? | 02:30 |
| Guest57426 | its kbuntu not ubuntu | 02:30 |
| tta | install the oldest version of your choice;) | 02:31 |
| yofel | rufsketch1: for that we would need to know where it fails - networkmanager puts its logs in /var/log/syslog, you can check there after an unsuccessful connection attempt if there is any error - or at least what it tries to do | 02:31 |
| rufsketch1 | yofel: checking | 02:32 |
| rufsketch1 | just a sec | 02:32 |
| valorie | Guest57426: the commands are the same, kubuntu and ubuntu | 02:32 |
| tta | lynx:http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 02:33 |
| valorie | you might want to use kpackagekit rather than their suggestions, but still | 02:33 |
| tta | if you are using a laptop | 02:33 |
| tta | valorie:you and kpackagekit | 02:34 |
| valorie | ok, muon then | 02:34 |
| rufsketch1 | yofel: it might have to do with kdeinit4 segfaulting. | 02:34 |
| valorie | or aptitude | 02:34 |
| valorie | or apt-get | 02:34 |
| rufsketch1 | yofel: should I pastebin my log? | 02:34 |
| valorie | I use them all | 02:34 |
| tta | ok ok ok ok | 02:35 |
| valorie | lol | 02:35 |
| yofel | rufsketch1: would be nice, but if kdeinit4 segfaults it's not surprising that knm doesn't work | 02:35 |
| valorie | I'm not religious about stuff -- I use what works, what I can remember at the time, etc. etc. | 02:35 |
| Guest57426 | how do i edit it to normal | 02:37 |
| valorie | Guest57426: edit what to "normal"? | 02:39 |
| Guest57426 | this | 02:40 |
| Guest57426 | ok | 02:40 |
| Guest57426 | edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal | 02:40 |
| Guest57426 | that | 02:40 |
| valorie | kdesudo kate /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 02:41 |
| valorie | look for Prompt= | 02:41 |
| Guest57426 | i found it | 02:41 |
| valorie | and put in normal right there | 02:41 |
| tta | valorie: how do you do to know that all? | 02:42 |
| Guest57426 | all done | 02:42 |
| valorie | well, I know that if you want to run a gui app in root, you have to use kdesudo | 02:42 |
| valorie | and kate is my favorite editor | 02:43 |
| valorie | so I've used it for stuff like this before | 02:43 |
| valorie | so I just generalized to what Guest57426 needed to do | 02:43 |
| Guest57426 | i used gedit before | 02:43 |
| valorie | ugh | 02:43 |
| valorie | yes, so have I | 02:43 |
| valorie | lol | 02:43 |
| Guest57426 | do u like gedit | 02:44 |
| tta | even in kubuntu 9.10 | 02:44 |
| Guest57426 | oh yh i have another problem | 02:44 |
| valorie | no, I try to use kate for everythign | 02:45 |
| valorie | lol | 02:45 |

| Natsuru_Senou | I used to have the KNetworkManger on the panel | 03:47 |
| valorie | oh, that sucks -- but you shouldn't have to download it | 03:47 |
| tta | what is that? | 03:47 |
| valorie | just add it to the panel | 03:47 |
| Natsuru_Senou | So I do have the software...I don't know how to accessit | 03:47 |
| valorie | there is a search there, you can use that | 03:47 |
| Natsuru_Senou | Search where? | 03:47 |

| Natsuru_Senou | Wireless at least, but I had to configure it manually, I couldn't use Knetworkmanager so that didn't work. I don't see a screenlets option. Also, how do I configure startup commands? | 04:05 |
| Natsuru_Senou | Like I want KDE | 04:05 |
| tta | your net is free | 04:06 |
| Natsuru_Senou | Like I want KDEWALLET, Compiz, and Knetworkmanager all at boot | 04:06 |
| Natsuru_Senou | What do you mean free? | 04:06 |
| Natsuru_Senou | It's unsecured if that is what you mean. | 04:06 |
| tta | are you paying? | 04:07 |
| nata | Natsuru_Senou: what you need can be setting in system/system settings/startup and shutdown, auto start & service manager. your knawork manager can startup auto by click 'netwaork management user setting & network status' if i not wrong (in kubuntu only) | 04:09 |
| nata | Natsuru_Senou: at autostart there can easily add program you wan to autostart. compiz no need in kubuntu i think. can direct set in desktop effect | 04:11 |

| Mayank | Hello, I want to set user restrictions for particular user or group of users, how can i do this with command line? any list of commands? | 13:43 |
| james147 | Mayank: exactly what restrictions? | 13:43 |
| Mayank | james147:like for instance i do not want childUserA to have access to terminal, but I want ParentUserA to have access to terminal | 13:44 |
| Mayank | james147: Or like, I do not want childUserA to change or add desktop icons, but I want that there is no such restriction for ParentUserA | 13:47 |
| * james147 dosent see the need for those type of restrictions.... and knows they are not easy to do.... | 13:47 | |
| Mayank | james147: I have to set kubuntu machines for children below 7th grade, so i need to do that. any direction for the same? | 13:49 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 13:52 |
| desu | Hey BluesKaj | 13:52 |
| james147 | ^^ and it would be easier to reset their profile on logout/login.... i dont think its possible to stop them rearranding icons | 13:52 |
| Mayank | desu: yes i thought of doing that, but can i restrict them for desktop icons? | 13:53 |
| desu | You could probably set their Desktop to be owned by root instead? | 13:53 |
| Mayank | james147: ok, leaving apart the desktop icons, can i hide the networking icon from the desktop bar so that they cannot view network settings | 13:56 |
| Mayank | desu | 13:56 |
| Mayank | desu: i dont really know how to do that. any directions? | 13:56 |
| desu | chown -R root:somegroup /home/blah/Desktop # ? | 13:56 |
| desu | and possibly followed by: | 13:57 |
| Mayank | desu: ok! thanks :) | 13:57 |
| desu | chmod -R ug+w /home/blah/Desktop | 13:57 |
| desu | The users in the group somegroup will have write access to Desktop | 13:58 |
| desu | Mayank, mind if I ask where you're deploying this, though? | 13:59 |
| Mayank | desu: Hmm! Thanks. any idea if I can create default users in an installation image, so that whenever I install it using the image those users are already there | 13:59 |
| desu | Mayank, yep, you can modify the live CD and put the users there. | 14:00 |
| desu | Though I would suggest setting up an LDAP server and then authenticating against that instead. | 14:00 |

| tatie | i need to move some backed up files back to this computer | 16:20 |
| james147 | !samba | tatie | 16:20 |
| ubottu | tatie: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | tatie , install smbclient | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | james147, doesn't one need a domain name to host a mailserver ...I would think yes ? | 16:21 |
| james147 | BluesKaj: I do not know ^^ | 16:21 |
| tatie | smblient is already installed. also some other samba related things. | 16:22 |
| tatie | from windows i can see shared printer (though i dont' have any printer here) but i can't see the directory | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | tatie, connect to windows from linux using samba/smb is much easier that vice versa in my experience especially with vista and W7 | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | than vice versa | 16:25 |
| tatie | in my experience is not easier cause i dont' know the winXp password. :-O | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | since since XP I havent found a method to connect to Linux machines from Windows that works | 16:26 |
| Mayank | when i create a user from the command line using adduser the Desktop folder is not created for the user untill and unless the user logsin using the GUI , can this done without making the user login? | 16:27 |
| BluesKaj | tatie, well then you have a problem, gotta have the pw | 16:27 |
| james147 | Mayank: "man useradd" | 16:27 |
| genii-around | Mayank: In /etc/skel usually is the template of what goes in a user's home directory | 16:27 |
| james147 | (adduser is a wrapper for useradd | 16:28 |
| tatie | why can't i connect from windows to Linux? i mean most servers in this world run linux right? and besides it worked nicely before in Ubuntu. but now i made a fresh install Kubuntu this time and i can't get it to work. | 16:28 |
| Mayank | james147: let me try. | 16:29 |
| Mayank | genii-around: ok! thanks, but if i edit. will all the users that are added will have the same things in their home directory? can it be user or group specific? | 16:30 |
| genii-around | Mayank: It's just a template. When you add a user, the stuff in their home dir becomes owned by them, whatever the ownerships of stuff in the /etc/skel are | 16:31 |
| james147 | Mayank: man useradd -- there is an option to specify the skel directory, so you can copy the exisitng one for each group and edit them individually | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | tatie, what client were you using before to connect from windows? | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | tatie, there's putty ssh client and tightvnc | 16:33 |
| tatie | samba client on Ubuntu. on Windows it was Total commander | 16:33 |
| tatie | i just noticed that when i click configure share nothing shows to be configured. | 16:33 |
| Mayank | james147: ok! thanks :) | 16:34 |
| Mayank | genii-around: thanks :) | 16:34 |
| * james147 notes that you need samba installed... and the the kde gui for samba shares is horrfic... he recomnds editing /etc/samba/smb.conf or using the web ui SWAT | 16:34 | |
| Daskreech | BluesKaj: I find connecting to Linux remarkably easier. I just use Filezilla and connecto over sftp | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | Daskreech, it works on W7? | 16:45 |
| Daskreech | Works anywhere. It's a SFTP client (a good one) connecting to a well defined ssh protocol | 16:45 |
| Daskreech | Isn't really anything much to mess up | 16:45 |

| Guest59682 | hey ! | 16:49 |
| Guest59682 | how can I find the last fileaccess time ? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | ok Daskreech , I'll check that out, thanks | 16:50 |
| Daskreech | atime ? | 16:50 |
| Guest59682 | atime ? | 16:51 |
| Daskreech | a file on a UNIX file system keeps a few time periods as part of the file meta data. Ctime is the creation time. Atime is the access time | 16:53 |
| Guest59682 | nice | 16:54 |
| Guest59682 | "find -atime -1 " is last 24h hours ? | 16:54 |
| Guest59682 | in need minutes | 16:54 |

| tatie | ok i think the whole problem here is that linux folders are not actually shared. the problem is not on windows side. but i can not mark them here propperly as shared folders. in fact when i right click them and select configure share some other share type is then set instead of samba. | 17:17 |
| Daskreech | tatie: the easiest way I've found is to install ssh and use filezilla | 17:19 |
| tatie | ok but why does the share not work in KDE but works in GNOME? | 17:20 |
| james147 | tatie: the kde gui for samba shares is a mess... its generally best to configure them manually | 17:21 |
| Mayank | How to install applications for root user only. suppose if i remove konsole and install it again, but this time only for the root user, can this be done? | 17:21 |
| murali | Please help. No audio on my kubuntu. | 17:22 |
| james147 | Mayank: no... the package manage has no sense of installing for users.... but you could try making the executable non executable for anyone not in a group | 17:23 |
| askent | привет всем, configure: error: No suitable SHA1 implementation found что делать? | 17:23 |
| james147 | !ru | askent | 17:23 |
| ubottu | askent: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 17:23 |
| james147 | Mayank: is there any reason to restriced access to the terminal? | 17:23 |
| Mayank | james147: like if i give 700 to konsole in etc, will it work | 17:23 |
| Mayank | ? | 17:23 |
| james147 | Mayank: i would give 770, and change the group to like "staff" or something so that some users have access to it | 17:24 |
| Mayank | james147: its not really needed, it was just an example for other applications | 17:24 |
| murali | Please help.new to kubuntu. No audio on my kubuntu. the problem started from 2 days only. | 17:24 |
| Mayank | james147: hmm! yes that would be good. | 17:24 |
| Mayank | james147: this does not seem to work! if i do chmod 700 konsole in /etc it says no such file or directory | 17:27 |
| james147 | Mayank: applications arnt in /etc | 17:27 |
| james147 | Mayank: konsole should be in /usr/bin | 17:28 |
| Mayank | james147: ok!! | 17:28 |
| Mayank | james147: if I give konsole 700 , though it is not executable it is still readible by the child user, why? | 17:33 |
| james147 | Mayank: it shouldnt be... though it wont be hidden from them | 17:33 |
| Mayank | james147: yes it is not executable, no way to just hide it from them? | 17:34 |
| james147 | Mayank: delete the executable | 17:34 |
| james147 | :) | 17:34 |
| james147 | there is no way to "hide" files and folders... why is that a problem? its not readable so they canot read it, it shouldnt matter that they can "see" it | 17:35 |
| Mayank | james147: where is it? and it would not effect the root user right? | 17:36 |
| r41_ | question: how do i set primary display in dualview? | 17:36 |
| james147 | r41_: what graphics card? | 17:36 |
| james147 | Mayank: where is what? | 17:36 |
| r41_ | james147 ati radeon 3300hd | 17:37 |
| * james147 suggesting looking at the ati config tools... | 17:37 | |
| Mayank | james147: the executable? and the problem is just to hide the - "complexities" of the system according to our admin here | 17:37 |
| r41_ | james147 yeah tried amdcccle but didnt find it | 17:37 |
| r41_ | james147 doesnt imho exist; xrandr has an option --primary but doesnt work | 17:38 |
| achondria | question: using Kubuntu 10.10... is there already an SMP kernel that supports more than 3GB of ram or must I compile one? | 17:39 |
| james147 | Mayank: then you dont want to use kde... or really linux for that matter... its not designed to be able to hide and show different parts of the system for different users.... your children should never need to look in /usr/bin... and if they do... whats it matter? | 17:39 |
| Mayank | james147: yes, we need to make them acquaint with FOSS, its not a problem in /usr/bin the problem is if they search for suppose "konsole" in the kubuntu menu, it displays it. | 17:41 |
| james147 | Mayank: then you need to edit the menus, not the excutables | 17:42 |
| BrightAmbition | Does anybody know how to install kubuntu with wub?? | 17:42 |
| BrightAmbition | Because i tried to yesterday and it kept crashing my computer | 17:42 |
| r41_ | mayank i suppose you can disable bash access for users | 17:42 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: wub? | 17:42 |
| BrightAmbition | or wubi | 17:42 |
| BrightAmbition | however you say it | 17:43 |
| Mayank | james147: any direction for that? | 17:43 |
| BrightAmbition | hello?? | 17:43 |
| BrightAmbition | how are you all?? | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | BrightAmbition, is your pc old? | 17:44 |
| BrightAmbition | it seems that wubi works with ubuntu but not kubuntu | 17:44 |
| james147 | Mayank: you can mess around with the desktop files in /usr/share/applications ... though i do not know a way to do it per user | 17:44 |
| BrightAmbition | Nope i got my computer in like 2009 or 2010 | 17:44 |
| Mayank | BrightAmbition: it does | 17:44 |
| james147 | (possibally by changing the permissions | 17:44 |
| BrightAmbition | how do you do that?? | 17:44 |
| Mayank | james147: ok thank you! :) | 17:44 |
| BrightAmbition | So i had to install ubuntu instead i like kubuntu better though | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | BrightAmbition, give us more details , does it crash during install or ? | 17:45 |
| BrightAmbition | because it's simullar to windows desktop but less awful | 17:45 |
| BrightAmbition | yes | 17:45 |
| BrightAmbition | it crashes | 17:45 |
| BrightAmbition | badly i might add | 17:45 |
| james147 | Mayank: I would think if the desktopfiles arnt readably by a user then they wont be added to the menu when the menu is built... though thats just a guess (you can rebuild the m,enu with kbuildsycoca4 | 17:46 |
| Mayank | BrightAmbition: where exactly? at the blue kubuntu screen after a reboot? | 17:46 |
| BrightAmbition | The screen completely freezes and i can't do anything | 17:46 |
| BrightAmbition | yes it crashes at the blue screen at start up | 17:46 |
| Mayank | BrightAmbition: did you wait enough at the blue screen? | 17:46 |
| BrightAmbition | Yep | 17:46 |
| BrightAmbition | I waited like an hour | 17:47 |
| BrightAmbition | Still nothing | 17:47 |
| CuBe0wL | hi all! I have a laptop with rtl8187b wifi card in it, and it suddenly stopped working | 17:47 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: install kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu ^^ that will effectivly give you kubuntu (with gnome attached, but you can also remove that) | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | BrightAmbition, have you tried installing kubuntu-desktop in the terminal , then at login you choose it instead of gnome | 17:47 |
| BrightAmbition | oh | 17:47 |
| BrightAmbition | ok | 17:47 |
| CuBe0wL | I can connect to wpa protected router, but I can't load any pages or ping anything | 17:47 |
| BrightAmbition | how do i do that?? | 17:47 |
| Mayank | james147: ok, i will have a look at that! | 17:47 |
| Mayank | :) | 17:47 |
| CuBe0wL | also, most of the time connection speed is reported as 1MBbit/s | 17:48 |
| CuBe0wL | has anyone encountered this? | 17:48 |
| BrightAmbition | Do i need a virtual box to install kubuntu into ubuntu?? | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | BrightAmbition, you have a gnome desktop ? | 17:48 |
| james147 | CuBe0wL: are you close enough to the router? without anything blocking the signal? | 17:48 |
| BrightAmbition | idk | 17:48 |
| CuBe0wL | james147, yes | 17:48 |
| BrightAmbition | I just installed ubuntu so idk what it has | 17:48 |
| CuBe0wL | I've been using it earlier today | 17:49 |
| achondria | CuBeOwl: are you getting assigned an Ip: | 17:49 |
| CuBe0wL | I've had an update, maybe something went wrong in the new kernel I got | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu is gnome , kubntu is kde , natively, BrightAmbition | 17:49 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" from ubuntu and that will install the kde desktop, you can then pick gnome or kde from the login screen | 17:49 |
| CuBe0wL | achondria, yes, everything seems fine | 17:49 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses kde would be more accruate :) | 17:50 |
| BrightAmbition | oh ok | 17:50 |
| BrightAmbition | thx | 17:50 |
| achondria | CubeOwl: cant ping the gateway or router ip then either? | 17:51 |
| CuBe0wL | do I need ndiswrapper for this card for maverick, or doesn it already have a native driver? | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | james147, where is the terinal located in the gnom panel , I forget | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | terminal | 17:51 |
| BrightAmbition | Does anyone know how to install the sims 3 on ubuntu?? | 17:51 |
| BrightAmbition | Because i've tried and it just doesn't work | 17:51 |
| james147 | BluesKaj: pfft.... i can never remember | 17:51 |
| BrightAmbition | I just switched from windows to ubuntu | 17:52 |

| Mayank | BluesKaj: in the accessories | 17:52 |
| BluesKaj | BrightAmbition, pls stop aking and try to follow our advice | 17:52 |
| BrightAmbition | how do i get WINE to work with the game though?? | 17:52 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: ubuntu and kubuntu are essentially the same operating system with a differeent gui... you can install kde on ubuntu to effectivally have kubuntu | 17:53 |
| BrightAmbition | Oh | 17:53 |
| BrightAmbition | Sorry new to all this | 17:53 |
| james147 | BrightAmbition: that depends on teh game ^^ read the enrty for sims 3 on the appdb | 17:53 |

| CuBe0wL | achondria, no, I can ping the router | 17:55 |
| achondria | CuBeOwl: hmmm, if you can ping the router, then i would say it's something weird with the router. You have rebooted the router? | 17:57 |
| CuBe0wL | achondria, I can't access the router | 17:58 |
| CuBe0wL | it's not mine, college wireless | 17:59 |
| CuBe0wL | the password is ok, I've used it numerous times, even today | 17:59 |
| === sean is now known as Guest43843 | ||
| BluesKaj | CuBe0wL, open /etc/resolv.conf, nameserver will probly have the router IP | 18:00 |
| achondria | CuBeOwl: Well, i have seen driver issues cause some weird problems like being able to connect but not get traffic | 18:00 |
| achondria | CuBeOwl: BlueKaj makes a good point perhpas DNS issue | 18:01 |
| CuBe0wL | can't be, because my nokia 5800 connects and uses the router easily | 18:02 |
| achondria | CuBeOwl: try pinging an ip like this one .. 72.30.2.43 | 18:02 |
| CuBe0wL | destination net unreachable | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | CuBe0wL, achondria , especially if the connection worked previously, then the namserver IP is the actual LAN router IP | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | achondria, . not necessarily a dns prob | 18:04 |
| sedrik_ | Hi all =) | 18:06 |
| puneet | hi sedrik | 18:08 |
| achondria | BluesKaj: You think the PC is expecting the router to provide DNS but the router isn't set up to do so? | 18:09 |
| r41_ | where has the folderview plasmoid gone? | 18:13 |
| puneet | :)) | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | achondria, most routers use the auto-dns setting , but a college campus area network is probly has totally different settings , but I can't be sure | 18:17 |
| achondria | BluesKaj: would you happen to know if there is a kubuntu kernel (precompiled) that supports more than 3 GB of ram? | 18:21 |
| james147 | achondria: the 64bit version does :) | 18:22 |
| james147 | achondria: also, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ | 18:22 |
| achondria | james147: Thanks so much, i am using 64bit, but I'll check out the details when I get that PC up and running later. | 18:25 |
| * BluesKaj suffers with 32bit & 3G RAM :) | 18:27 | |
| james147 | achondria: ^^ if your using 64bit then you shouldnt have a problem with max ram | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | guess i could install the 64 bit OS , but I'm afraid of flash probs | 18:28 |
| achondria | james147: according to the info you posted, I agree, but I do remember checking it with free yesterday and having it come up with something like 3.1GB physical ( i have 4GB installed) | 18:30 |
| james147 | achondria: and your sure you ahve the 64bit version insalled? | 18:30 |
| james147 | achondria: uname -m should tell you | 18:31 |
| achondria | james147: yeah, I had to even dl 64bit apps to replace the ones I had saved | 18:31 |
| james147 | achondria: then check your bios, make sure that reports the correct ammount | 18:32 |
| achondria | james147: it does :( 4028 or something like that | 18:33 |
| james147 | then thats weird | 18:33 |
| james147 | achondria: what does uname -m say? | 18:33 |
| achondria | james147: i will have to reboot to get into it (im running a 32bit live cd right now) back in a bit. Thanks again. | 18:34 |
| james147 | BluesKaj: I havnt had any problems with flash on 64bit ^^ well, anymore then the usual flash problems of flash being flash :) | 18:35 |

| slipper | Hello. I'm trying to install Kubuntu on my hard drive array. I have /dev/md0 as software RAID 5 on / , /dev/md1 as software RAID 1 on /boot, and /dev/md2 as RAID 1 swap space. The install itself seems to be fine, because I can assemble root and see the file system - same goes for /boot | 19:02 |
| slipper | Grub is what's giving me trouble. It boots into a recovery shell. | 19:03 |
| slipper | I installed it to /dev/sda, default options. What am I missing? | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | !raid | 19:08 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 19:08 |
| * james147 isnt sure if grub knows about software raids.... | 19:12 | |
| slipper | From what I read, it can handle RAID 1 | 19:13 |
| Mayank | when i enter the command - useradd -m someuser, it creates a desktop folder for the user by default in one machine but not on the other, any reason? | 19:14 |
| james147 | Mayank: how are you sharing users between machines? | 19:16 |
| Mayank | james147: I am not sharing users, just entering the same command in two different machines | 19:17 |
| Mayank | james147: i just want the desktop folder to be there by default | 19:18 |
| james147 | Mayank: you really should use somehting like LDAP for multiple users on multiple computers | 19:18 |
| james147 | Mayank: its creating the users home though? if so is the Desktop folder in the /etc/skel? | 19:18 |
| Mayank | james147: yes the skel folder is empty. Should i just add a Desktop folder there? | 19:20 |
| james147 | Mayank: if you want it created then yet (and it shouldnt be empty, there should be some hidden files in it) | 19:21 |
| james147 | yes ^^ | 19:21 |
| Mayank | james147: yes, .profile is the relevant one? | 19:22 |
| slipper | Okay, it looks like the FakeRAID howto has GRUB info | 19:23 |
| slipper | confusing, since I'm not really using dmarid :p | 19:23 |
| Mayank | james147: thanks again :) | 19:23 |
| desu | The Desktop directory is supposed to be created by the Desktop environment IIRC | 19:24 |
| desu | KDE, GNOME, XFCE etc. | 19:24 |
| desu | On the first run. | 19:24 |
| Mayank | desu: yes but i want to chmod 755 it | 19:27 |
| Mayank | for the LiveCD customization | 19:27 |
| desu | Ah, alright.. | 19:27 |
| desu | Mayank, are all the computers on network? | 19:28 |
| Mayank | desu: yes they will be | 19:29 |
| Mayank | desu: but we have different departments, so making one for network run | 19:29 |
| Mayank | at 5-6 places | 19:29 |
| desu | Why not create one single shared /home directory and authenticate against LDAP? | 19:29 |
| Mayank | desu: because different departments are not connected with each other | 19:53 |
| desu | Mayank, but all systems within the same department are interconnected, right? | 19:53 |
| Mayank | and they cannot be connected to one central LDAP server due to resource problems | 19:54 |
| desu | You can use a desktop machine as an LDAP server | 19:54 |
| desu | I doubt the load would be high enough to bring that system down to its knees | 19:54 |
| Mayank | desu: yes they are, and yes we can use it . I was talking about the networking part between the departments | 19:55 |
| Mayank | and not intradepartment | 19:55 |
| desu | Mayank, it's half past one in the morning. You should perhaps stop working now :P | 19:56 |
| Mayank | desu: aha! yes! you should too! just trying to install .air app through the terminal | 19:57 |
| desu | .air? | 19:57 |
| Mayank | built on adobe air | 19:57 |
