[00:10] yep [00:10] i unistalled [00:10] agnese: try using apt-get to reinstall [00:10] i had repository disabled i think [00:11] skype is in partner repository [00:11] yes. i eneabled, updated and now looks like it is installing [00:12] good :) [00:12] ok, installed. now let's see if it works [00:12] same... 8( it not connecting [00:12] mv ~/.Skype ~/.Skype.old in terminal, right?

[01:19] whatever i do they come back to maximalised... [02:30] In terminal I'm in my Downloads folder, how do I move 2 files from this into my Videos folder? [02:30] naomi_: mv file1 file2 ~/Videos [02:30] naomi_: i would like to note that tab completion on the names in very useful [02:31] naomi_: 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] !tab [02:31] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:32] ^^ 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] mv: cannot stat `*.avi': No such file or directory [02:32] >.> [02:33] hmm [02:33] naomi_: do you have any avi in that folder? [02:33] there is a time that ends with .avi in the current directory? [02:33] Lol yeah. I'm trying to move 2 .avi files from my downloads to videos. [02:33] naomi_: if there is none then it's correct there is no such file or directory [02:34] naomi_: ls | grep avi [02:34] whats the out put of "ls"? [02:34] ^^ it better yet that [02:34] the .avi is a file withtin a folder within the downloads. if that makes sense [02:34] naomi_: ahh, then that gets a little more complcated :) [02:35] naomi_: 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] Just to the root. [02:36] Well, hang ong. [02:36] On.^ [02:36] * James147 would use find ^^ though there is probally another way [02:36] or possibally use */*.avi ^^ [02:37] 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] naomi_: mv Tangled ~/Videos [02:38] "find . -iname "*.avi" -exec mv \{} ~/Videos \;" would move any file ending in .avi to ~/Videos in any folder in the current directory [02:38] That worked Daskreech thanks.

[06:49] just clicking on the update package icon in the system tray [06:49] no.. not really.. the strange thing is, if you open kpackagekit normally, it's as it should.. only if you click the update icon in system tray this fancy window comes up [06:49] right [06:49] James147: no normal user.. [06:49] just click the update icon [06:52] noaXess: what happen if you run kpackagekit as root?

[07:01] James147: hehe ;) [07:01] areichman: sounds like the root settings are screwy :S [07:01] how would I change those settings [07:01] breakfas time.. see ya..

[07:02] not by default, anyway [07:02] areichman: its not advised [07:02] so how do I change the theme for the root account? [07:02] areichman: run systemsettings as root and see if you can change the appeaarence [07:03] my widget style for root is oxygen... [07:03] it looks right in the preview but wrong everywhere else [07:03] and if you change it? [07:04] it doesn't do anything...

[07:36] well it shows me plain terminals [07:36] i did "sudo sh ati-....bin" [07:36] erkkk [07:36] worked on gnome +) so i assummed [07:36] In my experience it's far better to use the drivers provided in the repos. [07:37] how do i do that? using git? [07:37] Nope, using a package manager :) [07:37] ahhh [07:37] Although for this specific case you might be better off using Jocket-KDE [07:37] err, I mean Jockey [07:37] uhm.. should i reinstall kubuntu and give that a stab? [07:37] since it not only uses the package management backend to download the drivers, but then also enables them for you. [07:38] You should be able to just uninstall the ATI one you installed. [07:38] oh i didn't know that. through terminal? [07:38] Err, probably. Been ages since I did that old fashioned route of using the actual vendor-provided packages to install, heh [07:38] ;) [07:39] ok i'll search for a way to remove the driver [07:39] thanks a lot for your help! [07:39] np [07:39] fyi, from what I recall the install script might've left a "fglrx-uninstall.sh" script lying around somewhere for you to use [07:52] xorxorxor: renaming /etx/X11/xorg.conf should make xorg use the default drivers again, alloing you to login [07:53] i wish i got that message 5 minutes earlier, reinstalling kubuntu.. lol [07:53] :) [08:05] how do i use jockey-kde? [08:07] from the kmenu, or the console, or krunner [08:07] all work well [08:07] it shows no proprietary driver [08:20] xorxorxor: on a fresh install? did you update the packagelist? [08:22] James147: oh, I didn't know I had to update the system. Now I see one. thank you!

[10:34] roland: is phonon configured correctly?

[10:40] James147: strange... when I selected 7.1 subwoofer started playing... and when I switched back to 5.1 subwoofer is still playing [10:40] roland: what happens if you restart amarok? [10:41] * James147 found it be be werid when he was testing it [10:46] James147: 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 running [10:46] roland: yeah, i had a similar problem... carnt remember how i fixed it [10:48] James147: thanks anyway.. at least I have bass now [10:48] roland: try this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Alternative_configurations [10:48] ^^ though thats for arch... it might vary slightly === peyotll_ is now known as ee === andrei is now known as andrei_comandatu [11:58] Thanks Ernie - Age 35, New Jersey [11:58] My first time was when I was in High School.

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 ask [11:58] about 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] Soon 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!!! When he came I could feel him swell and [11:58] spurt into my ass.

[17:49] Yes. #KDE [17:49] aha eys [17:49] Oh, even an IRC channel. nice [17:49] Thank you [17:49] But they're KDE, not Kubuntu. [17:49] ...darn. I wonder if this is a coreutils problem or a driver problem. [17:50] well, gg. Thanks for the nontrollish answers. sorry, i'm kinda ticked about a moderator on a forum right now (not Linux-related) [17:50] bye guys, and good luck with the disk smart health ops [17:50] DarthFrog: i am getting an error. the app is not starting [17:51] phoenix_firebrd: what error? [17:52] DarthFrog: one min [17:53] DarthFrog: http://paste.kde.org/8635/ [17:54] phoenix_firebrd: That's not an error and your app is running ("ps aux | grep smart"). It's merely a warning [17:54] DarthFrog: oh , i will that [17:55] DarthFrog: where is the gui? [17:56] DarthFrog: i cant see any gui of this app [17:57] phoenix_firebrd: man smart-notifier [18:10] Hola gente :) [18:22] DarthFrog: the smart-notifier didnt work for me so i downloaded a cli versio of the seatools(seagate app) for linux and used it [18:22] And? [18:23] DarthFrog: it worked, i have done some test on my harddisk and it was fine [18:23] Glad to hear it. [18:24] DarthFrog: they had a gui version , but the installed was in rpm [18:24] *installer [18:24] hello, i need to make a bootable DOS usb stick so i can update my BIOS. any easy way to do that within kubuntu? [18:25] jimmy51_: you mean MSdos or PCDos? [18:25] phoenix_firebrd: i suspect either would work. [18:26] jimmy51_: there is a app to write bootimages to usb pen drives. i forgot the name, can you give me a min? [18:26] phoenix_firebrd: sure, thanks for the help [18:29] jimmy51_: found it [18:29] jimmy51_: its flashboot. http://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ [18:30] phoenix_firebrd: ah, that looks good. i'll give that a try. thanks! [18:30] jimmy51_: download a floppy image of pcdos or freedos and write it using flashboot [18:30] jimmy51_: yw [18:32] DarthFrog: does suse have a partnership with seagate. why wasnt a deb version of seatools available for download? [18:32] phoenix_firebrd: Umm, I'm not privy to the inner workings of any company. :-) [18:33] DarthFrog: do we have to be? [18:34] phoenix_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] phoenix_firebrd: And you can use "alien" to convert RPM to DEB. [18:34] DarthFrog: ya thats right [18:35] phoenix_firebrd: doh... that looks like it only runs under windows :( [18:35] jimmy51_: ya, thats a windows app [18:35] jimmy51_: wine cannot write a MBR [18:36] phoenix_firebrd: linux itself can't write it? [18:37] jimmy51_: no linux can, but wine has no low level disk write privilege [18:37] 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? [18:38] jimmy51_: you want a linux app to do that , right? === MuzerAway is now known as Muzer [18:39] phoenix_firebrd: hopefully. i don't have a windows machine, just kubuntu. [18:40] jimmy51_: try this http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [18:41] DarthFrog: thanks for the help buddy [18:42] jimmy51_: i have to go now , bye [18:42] phoenix_firebrd: i'll try that. thanks. [18:57] hey guys, on the homescreen how do i add the desktop widget? to display my desktop folder [19:04] RussellAlan: on the panel or on the desktop? [19:05] on the main screen [19:05] by Ctrl+F12 will get you all the things on your desktop if you like [19:05] The login screen? [19:05] DarthFrog: I think officially RPM stands for RPM package Manager [19:06] no just the widget to display the contents of my Desktop Folder [19:07] control f12 did nothing [19:08] 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 want [19:12] Mithrandir_: 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] Mithrandir_, it just has show desktop [19:12] Mother's day? [19:12] Mithrandir_: I think it was RH 3.03. :-) [19:12] i'm looking for just a widget that contacns the contents of my /home/user/Desktop [19:13]
