| Craigwd_2000 | Where can I find archived older versions of AMD64 Kubuntu like the original 10.04 DVD....? I had very good experience with the original AMD64 Kubuntu 10.04 DVD offering to fix/repair my XP NTFS partition's MBR/Boot Sector but I've tried to boot the much newer 10.04.2 maintenance release & it doesn't offer to fix/repair my MBR/Boot Sector anymore... | 02:54 |
| claydoh | Craigwd_2000: cdimage.ubuntu.com | 03:05 |

| Craigwd_2000 | Claydoh: I've already been there & the original Kubuntu 10.04 isn't in there... I could only find the much newer AMD64 Kubuntu 10.04.2 DVD ISO Image... | 03:06 |
| claydoh | Craigwd_2000: oops sorry http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/lucid/ | 03:07 |
| claydoh | maybe it doesn't offer to fix the mbr as it isn't broken? | 03:08 |
| claydoh | Craigwd_2000: why would it have to do that? | 03:09 |
| claydoh | well more than once, that is | 03:10 |
| Craigwd_2000 | Claydoh: I'm not sure...; maybe this is actually a completely different issue...; the last time I tried to boot into it I got a really weird error about it not finding NT's bootmgr/maybe it's missing & I don't know how exactly to get it back safely without having to re-format & re-install both XP & Linux... | 03:11 |
| claydoh | dunno, I have not dual booted since windows ME :/ | 03:12 |
| claydoh | so my experiences there are nil these days | 03:12 |
| Craigwd_2000 | I can't use the XP CD-ROM's Repair Install function or Admin Console either...: my HP PC doesn't support Legacy USB Devices like USB floppy drives during XP's NT Installer part of the Install...; i.e.: the F6 Have Disk option is permanently broken as a result of it too... | 03:15 |
| Craigwd_2000 | Which is the only way to load AHCI drivers/storage drivers manually...; if your PC's BIOS properly support Legacy USB Devices (mine doesn't...). | 03:16 |

| scottamunga | Have they changed the rules? | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | scottamunga, your IP doesn't resolve to a complete address , so last.fm is interpreting your IP as offshore | 18:14 |
| scottamunga | i see. is there a fix, or should I just move on? I haven't tried listening on the website yet. | 18:14 |

| tamran | howdy everyone, I have a problem logging into Kubuntu (i'm using 11.04 beta). I've done two things to possibly mess things up. 1) I upgraded (during the process it uninstalled some KDE components). or 2) I tried messing with Plasma themes | 19:36 |
| tamran | either way, I get into the kde login (graphical) part and when I log in, it just resets and brings me back to the login screen over and over again | 19:36 |
| tamran | can anyone message me if they are willing to help and/or have an idea | 19:37 |
| tamran | many thanks in advance :) | 19:37 |
| Exilant | tamran: have you tried creating a new user, then logging in as that user? | 19:38 |

| tamran | got it | 19:42 |
| tamran | Exilant: holy cow, a new user worked | 19:44 |

| Exilant | there's .kde, but i'd advice against deleting it. try renaming .kde to .kde_old or so, then try to log in | 19:46 |
| Exilant | .kde contains konversation chat logs, kopete logs, on some systems also the mails | 19:47 |

| tamran | I have an Nvidia card | 20:05 |
| Exilant | no idea, i never use splash | 20:05 |
| tamran | is there a simple way to completely disable plymouth on boot? | 20:05 |
| tamran | Exilant: yeah, the splash stuff is probably not worth it | 20:05 |
| Exilant | take the "quiet splash" out of your /etc/default/grub | 20:06 |

| BluesKaj | I should have known | 21:12 |
| rockguy32 | For the mac question: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ obviously you have to swap out gedit with kate if you don't have/use gedit. | 21:12 |
| BluesKaj | amazing how many NIC/ethernet probs there are lately | 21:14 |
| Fleck | rockguy32 when i add in interfaces - network manager works still ? | 21:15 |
| rockguy32 | It's only going to get worse when they run out of IPv4 addresses in a few days and have to switch over to IPv6 | 21:15 |
| rockguy32 | I would assume so, all you're doing is changing how your computer identifies itself. | 21:16 |
| BluesKaj | rockguy32, guess I'd better check my router settings for IPv6 | 21:16 |
| Fleck | gnomes manager had mac spoofing for each profile afaik | 21:17 |
| Fleck | that was cool :/ | 21:17 |
| rockguy32 | Most routers should have IPv6 support, but you really shouldn't start feeling the effects for a long time after we run out. | 21:17 |
| rockguy32 | The biggest difference with IPv6 will be getting used to the longer addresses. | 21:18 |

| BluesKaj | LogicallyDashing, yeah , it's still there | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | the context menu that is | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, maybe you chose autologin during the install phase | 21:29 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: don't remember, but I'd be real suprised | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, sry I can't help. kpackagekit is one of the apps I immediately remove after upgrading the OS | 21:31 |
| __BS__ | @rockguy32: What makes you think we'll run out of IPv4 very soon? | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | or remove immediately as the brits and yanks would say :) | 21:32 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: I don't purposely use it for anything, but its default if you click on a .deb | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | I use sudo dpkg -i | 21:33 |

| Walzmyn | ah, got it. apparently the virtual box window was losing focus durring reboot | 21:37 |
| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, dpkg -i is the command to install any deb package , it's as safe as apt-get or aptitude , unless the package itself is corrupt , but it's just another way of using the cli to install rather than a gui package installer | 21:40 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj: yeah, i've used it before, it's just not made itself into my regular usage repitoir yet :) | 21:41 |
| __BS__ | Stick with aptitude unless told or forced otherwise (if cli). aptitude update ; aptitude safe-upgrade. | 21:41 |
| * Walzmyn is used to apt-get | 21:42 | |
| __BS__ | dpkg should not be in your regular usage repertoire. | 21:42 |
| LogicallyDashing | Konversation isn't bringing up the context menu for me | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | __BS__, why not ? | 21:45 |
| __BS__ | over the years, more and more smarts have been put into newer versions, allowing the old to be left alone (and, indeed, allowing the new to make use of the old). Thus dpkg, apt-get, aptitude, etc. Unless you have a specific and special reason to do so, stick with the latest cli with the most smarts. Currently that is aptitude AFAIK. | 21:46 |
| BluesKaj | __BS__, debs are installed differently , have you tried to use apt to install a deb pkg? | 21:47 |
| BluesKaj | well it's dinner time .. later all | 21:49 |
| __BS__ | To use dpkg, for example, your are relying and forcing yourself into a more manual / hands on mode, rather than taking advantage of newer 'things.' Which is only to say, give yourself a break by not having to be so diligent and careful. Not to say don't use it when appropriate, especially as you're familiar with it. It just shouldn't be, I wouldn't think, in your 'regular repertoire.' I get... | 21:50 |
| __BS__ | ...that debs are different, and perhaps I missed that a deb was the context of the conversation, but it didn't seem so at the time. If at all possible, and I grant you I wasn't following the conversation that closely, come out of a repo, not a direct deb download. I only say that from the perspective of saving yourself potential grief if possible. Not that you will have grief, merely, ...... | 21:50 |
| __BS__ | ...life can be easier. No disparagement intended to anyone. | 21:50 |

| __BS__ | OK, this gets irritating ... how to get man to not clear the screen when it exits? | 22:40 |
| __BS__ | What does Ctrl-Esc run? | 22:47 |
| James147 | __BS__: ksysguard (System monitor) | 22:48 |
| James147 | ^^ or well one of the views from that at least that is used by krunner | 22:49 |
| __BS__ | Thanks. Tend to sudo bash - in konsole, and start gui things from there. Ctrl-Esc then won't let me kill things as I'm not su at that point. <sigh> | 22:49 |
| James147 | __BS__: you should use kdesudo rather then launching things as root from a root shell | 22:50 |
| __BS__ | Yeah ... I should. | 22:51 |
| __BS__ | GUI can be a PITA some times. e.g. Alt-F2. | 22:52 |
| James147 | __BS__: and for man not clearing the screen try "man -P "less -X" <manpage>" | 22:53 |
| James147 | or ' export MANPAGER="less -X" ' before useing man | 22:54 |
| James147 | ( use: man man and: man less for more info :) | 22:54 |
| __BS__ | Hmmm. Suspected it was less. Suppose I should set lessoptions. | 22:55 |
| __BS__ | Actually ... when it gets irritating, I suppose -X within man is appropriate. Rather than setting blanket global. It isn't always annoying, just some times. Like when it mentions a term I'm about to have to type in, but the screen has cleared. | 22:56 |
| __BS__ | Ooh, that's annoying. -X in man says 'Cannot change the -X option'. <argh> | 22:58 |
| James147 | __BS__: you can set it globally for less with ' export LESS="-X" ' | 22:58 |
| __BS__ | Right, but we're back to ... is it appropriate as global option. Suppose I'm smartest to set an alias, to call upon as annoyed. | 22:59 |
| James147 | __BS__: then aliasing 'man -P "less -X" ' is probally best | 23:00 |
| __BS__ | Agreed. And alias lessnoclear='less -X'. | 23:00 |
| James147 | __BS__: or 'man -P "less -isX" ' ('is' are the default arguments passed to less) | 23:01 |
| * James147 would use "lnc" | 23:01 | |
| James147 | ^^ or something shorter :) | 23:01 |
| James147 | __BS__: aliasing less -X to lessnoclear seems abit redundent ^^ you end up typing more characters :) | 23:03 |
| __BS__ | Right, but presumably not used often, and perhaps easier to remember than yet another option to yet another command. Said another way ... in some senses 'alias' can be a memory jogger. So although I may forget -X, or lessnoclear, I should remember "I've solved this problem before", type alias, get the memory slap upside the head, and get on with my day. | 23:05 |
| __BS__ | Back to wi-fi for the moment. I SO wish default kde install included a useful network manager. wlan0 now in ifconfig, but cannot see any networks. Currently have wicd installed. iwconfig shows wlan0. No workie. Suggestions? | 23:10 |
| Snowhog | __BS__: adding export LESS="-X" to your .bashrc file works. Just tried it, and man no longer clears the screen on exit. | 23:11 |
| __BS__ | Snowhog: Yes, but this means every use of less will not clear the screen. MOST of the time, the default is desirable, just not always. Setting LESS in .bash will change the behaviour for all invocations. | 23:12 |
| Snowhog | __BS__: True. | 23:12 |

| === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy | ||

| __BS__ | So ... riddle me this ... why is it only when trying to chase down seemingly stupid problems that shouldn't be present, THAT is the time these minor irritants most present themselves, distracting the problem to hand, and when most distracted and least likely to remember that 'yet another parameter to yet another cli command.' The rest of the time ... it's behaving as one would want. Karma? | 23:14 |
| __BS__ | James147: Nick change on away is not ... appropriate? | 23:15 |
| James147 | !away | 23:16 |
| ubottu | You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 23:16 |
| Snowhog | __BS__: The simple answer, is it just is the way it is. | 23:16 |
| James147 | __BS__: complex answer is you are more irratable when trying to fix issues that shouldnt present them selves so the minor things are more fustrating | 23:17 |
| __BS__ | James147: Ah! Thank you. Had never picked up the putting in a reason preventing the notification. Cool. | 23:17 |
| __BS__ | !rhetorical :-) | 23:17 |
| James147 | __BS__: :D | 23:17 |
| Snowhog | James147: I find it preferable to not have the screen cleared on an exit. I tend to open another terminal to do what I need after finding the answer in the other anyway. The export LESS="-X" in .bashrc is nice for me. | 23:18 |
| __BS__ | How do I chase down 'segmentation fault'? | 23:21 |
| James147 | __BS__: in what program? | 23:27 |
| lovesthethianood | sometiems when playing music/video my computer freezes. alt c/q/ctrl/shiftesc alt backspace dose nothing... whats up? | 23:27 |

| MajinSaiyan | hi guys...can anyone help me with an audio problem? | 23:49 |
| James147 | !ask | MajinSaiyan | 23:49 |
| ubottu | MajinSaiyan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:49 |
| MajinSaiyan | i have installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my 64-bit Gateway laptop. The OS is wonderful....however when i plug my headphones in the audio is still playing back on the laptop speakers. How can i get my headphone jack to work? | 23:51 |
| __BS__ | Have camserv up, but pic looks like it's in 9 sections. 3x3. Top 3 are duplicates. Middle / bottom rows garbage (think wrong monitor resolution type of picture). xawtv no go. v4l-confi 'no overlay support'. Suggestions? | 23:52 |
| __BS__ | MajinSaiyan: When you plug the headphones in, do you hear sound? (Over them, not just the computer speakers.) | 23:54 |
| MajinSaiyan | I don't hear any sound coming from the external speakers | 23:54 |
| __BS__ | MajinSaiyan: Confused. You say plug headphones in you hear sound on laptop speakers. You do not say whether you hear sound over headphones. Then you talk about external speakers. I take it by 'headphones' originally, you meant external speakers? | 23:56 |
| MajinSaiyan | yeah i've tried plugging in headphones and external speakers to see if anything is wrong with either one. But the only audio devices that my computer is detecting are the internal laptop speakers and HDMI audio. It does not detect anything plugged into the headphone jack :/ | 23:57 |
| lovesthethianood | whenever my power goes out during a storm kubuntu stops working whats wrong? | 23:59 |
