James147S74rk7: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is auto generated as well wheny ou update-grud ^^ which is run when a new kernel is installed/removed .... /etc/default/grub would be a better file to back up00:00
gomiboyxptical: why not just stick with a Long Time Support release than?00:00
xpticalI may.  But I do like to have the latest hardware support.  My Laptop doesn't work out of the box with 10.10.  With 11.04, it all just works.00:01

S74rk7I am thinking to give BURG a try... I just wanted to back grub up in case I killed something...00:13
James147S74rk7: unless you have actually modified a file then reintalling grub should be enough00:16
S74rk7so pretty much if I kill something somehow... I should boot up off a livecd and reinstall burg or run the commands to auto generate it again? :)00:22
James147S74rk7: yup00:23

Fritz1793lol i just found out how to view the different channels on this server (/list) :p that was giving me trouble for a bit on quassel02:35
valorieFritz1793: using /msg alis list *searchterm* will give you better results02:43
valoriethe /list command is server-intensive02:43
Fritz1793valorie: lol thanks i noticed that all the thousands of channels all appeared in random order with that command02:44
Fritz1793so do most people on this IRC server use kubuntu?02:45
valorienope02:45
Fritz1793ok02:45
valoriefreenode is for free projects of all kinds02:45
DarthFrogFritz1793: Not on the server but, yes, on this channel.02:45
valoriekub. has three channels02:45
valorielots of *buntu chans of all kinds and sorts as well02:46
Fritz1793but it says i'm on kubuntu irc and on the kubuntu channel which are 2 different things, right?02:46
valorieah02:46
valoriethat is a redirect, I believe02:46
valoriewe don't run our own server02:46
valorieyou are in the #kubuntu channel on freenode IRC02:47
valorie"kubuntu irc" for short02:47
Fritz1793ok02:47
Fritz1793but on other channels it still says that i'm on kubuntu irc?02:48
Fritz1793or is that due to the redirect thing you mentioned02:49
valorieprobably so02:49
valorieor it might be how your client does it02:49
Fritz1793ok02:50
Fritz1793i'm using quassel which was preloaded so that might be it...02:50
valoriethere are loads of different apps/ways to access IRC02:50
valorieincluding web pages02:50
Fritz1793like facebook?02:50
Fritz1793with the "chat" feature?02:51
valoriefacebook uses XMPP, which is jabber02:51
valorielike GoogleChat02:51
Fritz1793?02:51
Fritz1793sorry i can't quite understand jargon of that magnitude yet02:51
valoriethat is another medium, like AOL IM and MSN02:51
valoriethere are a few apps that allow you to use all of them, including IRC02:52
valorieummm.... pidgin I think does02:52
Fritz1793ok02:52
valorieand telepathy will, I believe02:52
valorieI pretty much just use IRC02:52
valorieand occasionally FB or Gchat02:53
Fritz1793ok, i guess i'm still an initiate to this concept of the "internet" so i've just floated a bit02:53

MajinSaiyanCan anyone help me? I have Kubuntu 10.10 and just installed a tool for converting .dmg files to image files. I can locate the tool in /root/usr/bin but i can't open the exe file. When i click it nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?14:07
juan_what is the name of this tools?14:09
MajinSaiyandmg2img14:09
MajinSaiyani used KPackageKit to get it14:09
juan_try press alt+F2 and type this name14:10
juan_then hit Enter14:10
juan_or look int Applications menu14:11
juan_in*14:11
MajinSaiyani tried both and it still doesn't work :/14:12
* James147 wonders why any application would install to /root/...14:12
James147^^ suggests its not installed where it should and thus not on the path ^^14:12
James147MajinSaiyan: what tool did you download14:13
MajinSaiyanthat's strange since i used the software center to install the file14:13
MajinSaiyanit's called dmg2img14:13
James147MajinSaiyan: yeah, i have never seen the packagemanager install to weird locations like that14:13
* James147 goes to try installing it14:14
MajinSaiyanThanks for your help guys.....i've installed a few programs and have located them in the /bin folder, but i can't run them14:14
James147MajinSaiyan: most if not all tools in /bin are command line tools ^^14:15
MajinSaiyanoh i see.....i guess i have to learn how to use the terminal14:15
James147MajinSaiyan: I just inslled dmg2img from kpackagekit and it installed to /usr/bin/... as it should14:16
James147MajinSaiyan: suggests to me that something is wrong with your system if it didnt :S14:16
MajinSaiyanare you able to open the tool just fine?14:16
James147MajinSaiyan: Yes, it appears to run (or at least display the help message)14:17
MajinSaiyani still can't get mine to work....let me try the steps once more14:18

Fearless13hi, anyone know what is the file to edit to enable double click instead simple click on KDE?14:54
tsimpsonFearless13: System Setting -> Keyboard & Mouse or System Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse14:55
Fearless13Yep tsimpson but I was looking for the file to edit you see? Doing it with the shell14:56
tsimpsonFearless13: ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals14:58
Fearless13hm14:58
tsimpsonlook for "[KDE]" and the line "SingleClick=true", change it to "SingleClick=false"14:58
Fearless13I don't have this line in my kdeglobals :s14:59
Fearless13I'm gonna add it maybe15:00
tsimpsonas long as it's under the "[KDE]" section15:00
Fearless13I don't have [KDE] section neither..15:00
tsimpsonthen you should probably add that too15:01
Fearless13I have to reload it afterthat?15:01
Kolia:D15:01
tsimpsonprobably login/out15:02
tsimpsonor just run "kbuildsycoca4"15:02
Fearless13ok let's try15:04
Fearless13Not bad tsimpson not bad... How did you find out?15:07
tsimpsongrep15:07
tsimpsongrep -r Click ~/.kde/config/15:07
tsimpsonI did "click" first, didn't see anything useful, so capitalized15:08
Fearless13Ok thx15:08
tsimpsonthen I tested by changing to use single-click and see what changed15:08
Fearless13Unfortunately it wouldn't have worked for me because of the absence of this parameter in my files !15:09
tsimpsonI've upgraded through many versions of KDE, so I have lots of settings stored15:09
Fearless13Put your .kde/config online I'm gonna grep if I need.. LOL !15:10
