naomi_In terminal I'm in my Downloads folder, how do I move 2 files from this into my Videos folder?02:30
James147naomi_: mv file1 file2 ~/Videos02:30
James147naomi_: i would like to note that tab completion on the names in very useful02:30
James147naomi_: you can also use * to match any number of any character ^^ so to move all .avi files you could use "mv *\.avi ~/Videos"02:31
Daskreech!tab02:31
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.02:31
James147^^ and ~ is a alias for your home directory and is equlivent to the $HOME envroment varible (which you can see if you use "echo $HOME"02:32
naomi_mv: cannot stat `*.avi': No such file or directory02:32
naomi_>.>02:32
James147hmm02:33
Daskreechnaomi_: do you have any avi in that folder?02:33
James147there is a time that ends with .avi in the current directory?02:33
naomi_Lol yeah. I'm trying to move 2 .avi files from my downloads to videos.02:33
Daskreechnaomi_: if there is none then it's correct there is no such file or directory02:33
Daskreechnaomi_: ls | grep avi02:34
James147whats the out put of "ls"?02:34
James147^^ it better yet that02:34
naomi_the .avi is a file withtin a folder within the downloads. if that makes sense02:34
James147naomi_: ahh, then that gets a little more complcated :)02:34
James147naomi_: and, do you want to move the files to the root of the videos folder, or within sub folders in the videos folder?02:35
naomi_Just to the root.02:35
naomi_Well, hang ong.02:36
naomi_On.^02:36
* James147 would use find ^^ though there is probally another way02:36
James147or possibally use */*.avi  ^^02:36
naomi_I have 2 folders in my downloads that are dvd's. Like one of the folders is called Tangled and within that it has an .avi and a readme or something. I just want to move the entire Tangled folder to Videos.02:37
Daskreechnaomi_: mv Tangled ~/Videos02:37
James147"find . -iname "*.avi" -exec mv \{} ~/Videos \;"   would move any file ending in .avi to ~/Videos in any folder in the current directory02:38
naomi_That worked Daskreech thanks.02:38
James147^^ then what Daskreech said :)02:38
naomi_Thanks james. :)02:38

noaXessJames147: on your kubuntu, no such problem?... it's just a layout problem.. so i can live with it ;)07:00
areichmanJames147: running it as root makes it use the GTK-looking theme07:00
areichmanrunning at as my normal user it looks normal (kpackagekit)07:00
James147noaXess: not running kubuntu atm :) but will check my vm...07:00

areichmanso how do I change the theme for the root account?07:02
James147areichman: run systemsettings as root and see if you can change the appeaarence07:02
areichmanmy widget style for root is oxygen...07:03
areichmanit looks right in the preview but wrong everywhere else07:03

xorxorxori installed my ATI graphic driver, now KDE is not booting.07:30
xorxorxorATI HD5870m07:30
keithzgNot booting? What stage is it getting to?07:34
keithzgAlso, what method did you use to install the (I assume) Catalyst drivers?07:36
xorxorxorwell it shows me plain terminals07:36
xorxorxori did "sudo sh ati-....bin"07:36
keithzgerkkk07:36
xorxorxorworked on gnome +) so i assummed07:36
keithzgIn my experience it's far better to use the drivers provided in the repos.07:36
xorxorxorhow do i do that? using git?07:37
keithzgNope, using a package manager :)07:37
xorxorxorahhh07:37
keithzgAlthough for this specific case you might be better off using Jocket-KDE07:37
keithzgerr, I mean Jockey07:37
xorxorxoruhm.. should i reinstall kubuntu and give that a stab?07:37
keithzgsince it not only uses the package management backend to download the drivers, but then also enables them for you.07:37
keithzgYou should be able to just uninstall the ATI one you installed.07:38
xorxorxoroh i didn't know that. through terminal?07:38
keithzgErr, probably.  Been ages since I did that old fashioned route of using the actual vendor-provided packages to install, heh07:38
xorxorxor;)07:38
xorxorxorok i'll search for a way to remove the driver07:39
xorxorxorthanks a lot for your help!07:39
keithzgnp07:39
keithzgfyi, from what I recall the install script might've left a "fglrx-uninstall.sh" script lying around somewhere for you to use07:39
James147xorxorxor: renaming /etx/X11/xorg.conf should make xorg use the default drivers again, alloing you to login07:52
xorxorxori wish i got that message 5 minutes earlier, reinstalling kubuntu.. lol07:53
James147:)07:53
xorxorxorhow do i use jockey-kde?08:05
valoriefrom the kmenu, or the console, or krunner08:07
valorieall work well08:07
xorxorxorit shows no proprietary driver08:07
James147xorxorxor: on a fresh install? did you update the packagelist?08:20
xorxorxorJames147: oh, I didn't know I had to update the system. Now I see one. thank you!08:22
James147xorxorxor: you dont have to update ^^just refresh the packagelist :) .. but you may as well upddate08:22

rolandhow to make amarok send audio to subwoofer? when I press the subwoofer button in phonon, I hear sound through sub, but when listening to music nothing...10:31
James147roland: is phonon configured correctly? (using the correct number of channels ^^ the test buttons bypass them i think)10:34
rolandJames147: I  only see 1 entry under speaker setup -> sount output: 5.110:37
James147are the other profiles?10:37
rolandJames147: strange... when I selected 7.1 subwoofer started playing... and when I switched back to 5.1 subwoofer is still playing10:40
James147roland: what happens if you restart amarok?10:40
* James147 found it be be werid when he was testing it10:41
rolandJames147: apparently it doesn't matter if I have selected 5.1 or 7.1. When I restart amarok, no sound comes through .1.... to get sound through subwoofer then I need the change the profile while amarok is running10:46
James147roland: yeah, i had a similar problem... carnt remember how i fixed it10:46

penosThanks Ernie - Age 35, New Jersey11:58
penosMy first time was when I was in High School. My friend Ernie and I were fooling around on the floor in his den. I always liked him to take me from behind - it felt naughtier and sexier that way. I was about 17 and he surprised me by running an ice cube along my spine and down the crack of my butt. I shivered with anticipation. He put the ice cube aside and began to rub my ass. He didn't ask11:58
penosabout anal sex. He could see that I was turned on. He pulled out some lube and lubed up his finger, inserting it into my ass. I moaned with pleasure and pushed back towards him. Soon I could hear him pouring more lube onto his cock. At that point I was so turned on I would have let him do anything!11:58
penosSoon he placed his cock head at my sphincter and said "it's time." Slowly he pushed forward until the head popped beyond the sphincter. Then he stopped to let me relax. After a few seconds of adjustment I started to slowly push back onto him. It was incredible!!!! He reached around and started to play with my clit - I saw stars and came continuously!!!

S74rk7hey everyone... is there an option when running the ./configure command to automatically download missing dependancies?12:25
susundbergThat kind of depends on the package but generally no12:29
susundbergi find 'apt-file' usefull while hunting 'what package provides that libxyz'12:30
S74rk7I remember reading on a page before that explained how to work through errors encountered when trying to run the ./configure command.... cant remember for the life of me how it was done... and trying to find it in my bookmarks :-S12:31
vichowdy all12:31
susundbergtry running the ./configure and check the errors12:31
susundberg(btw afaik the ./configure is package dependent script and no program or anything -- there is no 'global' rules for that, though some 'standards' exists)12:32
vichow to know my the gcc version ?12:32
susundberggcc -v12:32
viccommand gcc -v òùå ðóäç12:32
viccommand gcc -v not help12:33
susundbergoh? in my computer it prints "gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-7ubuntu1)12:33
susundberg" - that is the gcc version afaik. But what do you want to find out? Or what are you trying to do?12:33
vici want to find out version12:35
Hamragcc --version12:35
vici tried it12:35
Hamraand it says?12:35
Hamrawhat does the command output? either a version number, or tell you that you dont have gcc, so please be precise12:36

S74rk7*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the12:40
S74rk7opps :S12:40
Hamrasudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev12:40
Hamraassuming you're on maverick12:41
S74rk7yeah12:41
S74rk7so is there no exact name of the package that you need... just I can see "libsdl1.2-dev" in the error...12:43
S74rk7when I ran sudo apt-cache search sdl it brought up loads of results... so was confused..12:43
Hamrai used the sdl-config comment12:44
Hamrai just typed in my konsole "sdl-config", it complained with: The program 'sdl-config' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:12:45
Hamrasudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev12:45
S74rk7Hamra: and did you just recognise it and know what package it was from?12:45
S74rk7yeah I got it downloaded there now12:45
S74rk7ahhhh12:45
Hamraand if the needed dependency happens not to be an executable, i use packages.ubuntu.com to search for it :)12:46
S74rk7Hamra: I cant seem to get the next one ... tried packages.ubuntu.com - no luck... can I pastebin 1 more to you mate... ?12:54
Hamrasure12:54
S74rk7Hamra: http://paste.ubuntu.com/587776/12:55
S74rk7Hamra: Thanks mate12:55
susundbergAlso config.log usually contains more info what failed12:56
susundbergand possibly the link command that usually contains the library name12:57
Hamraapt-cache search libsdl image12:57
susundbergand that library name can be googled or queried with apt-file12:57
Hamrashould give you the hint ;)12:57
susundbergTrue :)12:57
Hamrayou, of course, need the dev package for building12:58

phoenix_firebrdHow to read the S.M.A.R.T of my harddisks?17:43
AMDphreakhey there, people, I need to report a bug, but I don't know the package, and I have a meeting shortly, so can I leave the bug description here?17:44
DarthFrogAMDphreak: No.17:44
AMDphreakPS, I'm using a LiveCD17:44
=== BluesKaj is now known as help
DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd: install smart-notifier and smartmontools.17:45
AMDphreakit pertains to Kubuntu 10.10 liveCD not being able to install because it keeps trying to read the primary CD (the liveCD) as a place to install.17:45

AMDphreak/dev/sr0 keeps causing problems17:45
AMDphreakDarthFrog, cool name, but what guarantee do I have that you aren't troll-answering?17:45
DarthFrogAMDphreak: We're not Kubuntu developers.  We're just users helping other users.17:45
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: will that report the current health status of the harddisk?17:45
AMDphreakUm, wouldn't it help if more users were aware of the bug?17:46
AMDphreaknot just devs.17:46
phoenix_firebrdha ha ha toll17:46
DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd:  I've used the command line tools of smartmontools to do so.  Never used smart-notifier but it is a graphical hard disk health status notifier.17:46
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: ok , i will try that now17:47
AMDphreakIn my experience users....ARE the devs17:47
DarthFrogAnd now that I know about it, I'm going to install it myself. :-)17:47
AMDphreakalot of the time (ok, not all the time)17:47
DarthFrogAMDphreak: Go to your meeting then fill a proper bug report later.  Make sure you're not filing a duplicate bug.17:48
AMDphreakI'm not sure where to file this, because I don't know a package to give it to17:48
AMDphreaker, tie it to17:48
AMDphreak...i'll try to figure out the forums. is there a KDE specific forum?17:49
DarthFrogYes.  #KDE17:49
AMDphreakaha eys17:49
AMDphreakOh, even an IRC channel. nice17:49
AMDphreakThank you17:49
DarthFrogBut they're KDE, not Kubuntu.17:49
AMDphreak...darn. I wonder if this is a coreutils problem or a driver problem.17:49
AMDphreakwell, gg. Thanks for the nontrollish answers. sorry, i'm kinda ticked about a moderator on a forum right now (not Linux-related)17:50
AMDphreakbye guys, and good luck with the disk smart health ops17:50

DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd: That's not an error and your app is running ("ps aux | grep smart").  It's merely a warning17:54
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: oh , i will that17:54

maiteHola gente :)18:10
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: the smart-notifier didnt work for me so i downloaded a cli versio of the seatools(seagate app) for linux and used it18:22
DarthFrogAnd?18:22
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: it worked, i have done some test on my harddisk and it was fine18:23

jimmy51_hello, i need to make a bootable DOS usb stick so i can update my BIOS.  any easy way to do that within kubuntu?18:24
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: you mean MSdos or PCDos?18:25
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: i suspect either would work.18:25
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: there is a app to write bootimages to usb pen drives. i forgot the name, can you give me a min?18:26
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: sure, thanks for the help18:26
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: found it18:29
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: its flashboot. http://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/18:29
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: ah, that looks good. i'll give that a try.  thanks!18:30
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: download a floppy image of pcdos or freedos and write it using flashboot18:30
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: yw18:30
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: does suse have a partnership with seagate. why wasnt a deb version of seatools available for download?18:32
DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd: Umm, I'm not privy to the inner workings of any company. :-)18:32
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: do we have to be?18:33
DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd: But at a guess, RPM (Redhat Package Manager) is used by Red Hat (obviously) which is the foremost enterprise Linux.  AFAIK, no enterprise-intended Linux uses DEB.18:34
DarthFrogphoenix_firebrd: And you can use "alien" to convert RPM to DEB.18:34
phoenix_firebrdDarthFrog: ya thats right18:34
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: doh... that looks like it only runs under windows :(18:35
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: ya, thats a windows app18:35
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: wine cannot write a MBR18:35
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: linux itself can't write it?18:36
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: no linux can, but wine has no low level disk write privilege18:37
jimmy51_phoenix_firebrd: ok, so if i'm running kubuntu 10.04 and have a USB flash disk, is there a way to make the flash disk bootable DOS so i can run the BIOS update exe?18:37
phoenix_firebrdjimmy51_: you want a linux app to do that , right?18:38

Mithrandir_by Ctrl+F12 will get you all the things on your desktop if you like19:05

Mithrandir_Click on the button on the far right of hte panel and click on Add widgets. in the search type desktop then double click the one you want19:08
DarthFrogMithrandir_: If so, that's a latter-day renaming, like GCC.  I ran Red Hat Mother's Day version and it was definitely called RedHat Package Manager back in the day.19:12
RussellAlanMithrandir_,  it just has show desktop19:12
Mithrandir_Mother's day?19:12

DjangoNoobareichman, i have ibm t60 laptop and intel display graphics19:54
areichmanDjangoNoob: have you installed kde 4.6.x or are you on the stock 4.5.x?19:54
DjangoNoobareichman, dunno. how can i check?19:55
areichmanit would have been a process to upgrade to 4.6. If you haven't added a repository specifically for it and then installed it from the package manager you haven't done it19:55
areichmanand that's why multiple monitors aren't saved19:55
DjangoNoobareichman, in the new kde, the monitors are saved?19:56
areichman4.5 doesn't have the ability to save multiple monitor configurations. Or if it does, there's no interface for it. 4.6 can do it but it's a bit of work to install it19:56
areichmanand might make your system less stable19:56

vicnone, i mean file boot19:59

sithlord48djangonoob how are you tring to set it, and do u have a properiatary driver instaleld?20:24

DjangoNoobareichman, there is no button "set as deafult". maybe "defaults", but its grayed out...20:27

gomiboyit's mandatory yo upgrade to kde 4.6 afaik20:33
gomiboy*to20:33
sithlord48why not dist-upgrade i always do taht20:33
sithlord48if you have packages that need to be removed by newer ones you have to do a dist-upgrade20:33
areichmanreally? I've never dist-upgraded before20:35
areichmanI assumed it was to upgrade the entire distribution and I just wanted to update one part or particular packages20:36
Pici!dist-upgrade20:36

RatchetmanI've been having an issue with Firefox. Origionally I downloaded 3 and when I found on the Kubuntu forum a stable version of 4 and it worked for a day before it wouldn't load or anything.22:21
genii-aroundnaomi_: I don't think it has that feature much. Although you could probably just write little aliases to something like: /me does this thing and that thing!22:22

ubottuFirefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox22:22
