| tbp | hello, how do i make my wireless work? i'm using acer notebook 5050-3205 | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| DarthFrog | tbp: What kind of wireless card is it? | 00:17 |
| tbp | atheros | 00:17 |
| DarthFrog | It should just work. | 00:17 |
| DarthFrog | Have you set up a wireless connection? | 00:17 |
| tbp | my notebook is a little old 5050-3205 | 00:17 |
| tbp | i have a wireless router that is set up | 00:18 |
| tbp | but i didn't set up anything on my notebook | 00:18 |
| DarthFrog | !atherors | 00:18 |
| tbp | it doesn't seem to find any networks | 00:18 |
| DarthFrog | !atheros | 00:18 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:18 |
| tbp | thanks | 00:18 |
| DarthFrog | np | 00:18 |
| tbp | DarthFrog: is it possible for me to see the exact model of the adapter in kubuntu? if so, where? | 00:19 |
| DarthFrog | Try the "lspci" command. | 00:19 |
| tbp | oh nvm | 00:19 |
| tbp | thanks | 00:19 |
| tbp | DarthFrog: is RS480 the model? | 00:22 |
| tbp | http://pastebin.com/72GUz7ta | 00:22 |
| DarthFrog | Did you do "lspci" or "lspci -v"? | 00:22 |
| DarthFrog | This is what I get: | 00:23 |
| DarthFrog | 04:07.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 00:23 |
| tbp | oh i found it thanks | 00:23 |
| tbp | Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 00:23 |
| DarthFrog | Um, Broadcom is not Atheros. | 00:23 |
| DarthFrog | You need to install b43-fwcutter and follow the documentation that the bot gave you. | 00:24 |
| tbp | DarthFrog: it seems b43 is installed | 00:24 |
| tbp | should i reinstall it? | 00:25 |
| DarthFrog | Sorry, busy elsewhere. | 00:29 |
| dge | I've got a probleme with my KDE :( | 00:44 |
| dge | KUbuntu sorry :P | 00:44 |
| Snowhog | dge: Please don't make a statement - ask the question. ;) | 00:45 |
| dge | Snowhog When i type: sudo su apt-get install (Anything) They said me : E: Unable to locate package "Name of the package" | 00:47 |
| Snowhog | dge: Type: sudo apt-get install packagename. You don't type: sudo su | 00:47 |
| dge | Okk | 00:48 |
| dge | Snowhog: Same message | 00:48 |
| Snowhog | dge: What exactly are you typing - what is the package name? | 00:49 |
| dge | Snowhog :like: WINE, Eclipse or I try to get RPM | 00:51 |
| Snowhog | dge: What version of Kubuntu are you running? | 00:52 |
| dge | Natty Narwhall | 00:52 |
| Daskreech | dge: can you paste the line that you are trying? | 00:52 |
| Snowhog | dge: A fresh install? | 00:52 |
| dge | Yup | 00:52 |
| Daskreech | dge: sudo apt-get update | 00:53 |
| Snowhog | dge: In the console type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine | 00:53 |
| dge | i try update and after the same error | 00:53 |
| Snowhog | dge: That's assuming you want to install wine. | 00:53 |
| Daskreech | dge: give the line that you are trying | 00:54 |
| dge | sudo apt-get install RPM | 00:54 |
| Snowhog | dge: Linux is case-sensative, and package names are lowercase. | 00:55 |
| dge | im on a VirtualBox | 00:55 |
| dge | okk | 00:55 |
| dge | For wine its working :) | 00:55 |
| dge | Okk thx im a noob ><' | 00:57 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest40712 | ||
| Daskreech | dge: no problem. Just for almost all packages the names are all lowercase | 01:02 |
| dge | Daskreech Okk How i know if he take a lowercase or not? | 01:03 |
| Daskreech | Assume it is | 01:03 |
| Daskreech | I think I've seen one package that was not lowercase and it was on it's own repo you had to add yourself | 01:03 |
| dge | okk | 01:04 |
| lcb | Hello. How can I move a panel item? I tried to move it and goes back to the same place. | 01:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hey guys, I'm repeatedly getting a request from Amarok to enter my password for the KDE Wallet. How can I get it to stop asking? | 01:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm not sure what to do. | 01:11 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I forgot to add that I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. | 01:14 |
| Daskreech | lcb: might try adding a space | 01:16 |
| lcb | Daskreech, thanks. | 01:16 |
| Daskreech | ok | 01:16 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I hate getting disconnected. Freaking IRC doesn't even tell me. | 01:18 |
| Daskreech | lol | 01:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | All right, let's see if I can try this again. | 01:21 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have been getting repeated prompts saying: "Amarok is requesting access to KDE Wallet. Please enter your password for this wallet." | 01:22 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Amarok is logging into something | 01:23 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I understand that. My question is how I can turn off the repeated password requests. | 01:23 |
| Daskreech | did you give it a password for scrobble or anything like that? | 01:23 |
| Daskreech | It should ask if you want to login this one time or forever more | 01:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Uh, what? I'm sort of a Linux n00b... >.> | 01:24 |
| Daskreech | just tell it forever | 01:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It asks each time I start Kubuntu. | 01:24 |
| Daskreech | Welcome to Linux and KDE LINKSWORD2 :) | 01:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I haven't seen the option to tell it forever. | 01:24 |
| Daskreech | Cause Amarok starts as soon as KDE starts? | 01:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Yes. | 01:25 |
| jimmy51 | hello, can someone tell me the eastiest way to accomplish the steps in this link ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7955&iTestingId=15996 ) on Kubuntu 9.10 ? | 01:25 |
| jimmy51 | it's written for kubuntu 7.10 | 01:25 |
| jimmy51 | and has you download wine source, compile, etc. surely there's a more automated way to do this these days... | 01:26 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: What do I do? | 01:28 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,Go to "System Settings >> KDE Wallet | 01:28 |
| lcb | "System Settings >> Account Details >> KDE Wallet | 01:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, checking that. | 01:29 |
| lcb | check KDE Wallet Conf... | 01:29 |
| Daskreech | jimmy51: #winehq | 01:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | All right, I believe I have found the necessary settings. | 01:30 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, untick Enable KDE wallet subsystem. | 01:30 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Done with that. | 01:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Apply & Exit, correct? | 01:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | KDE Wallet is anal or something. | 01:32 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, or Acces Control and take the check mark of "Prompt ...* | 01:32 |
| lcb | but i think you don't want to do that | 01:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Why not? | 01:33 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,yes, Apply | 01:33 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,because you never know when accessing an open wallet :p | 01:33 |
| lcb | welcome | 01:35 |
| lcb | or... "np" | 01:35 |
| lcb | oh, you're back :o | 01:37 |
| lcb | ohh he left :o | 01:38 |
| lcb | i think LINKSWORD2 is having some sort of dispute with IRC | 01:38 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, stop fighting with IRC | 01:39 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm not. lol | 01:39 |
| tso | !atheros | 01:40 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:40 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't know why I keep getting disconnected. | 01:41 |
| aveteam | !nvidia | 01:41 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 01:41 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,did you pay to Bill? | 01:41 |
| lcb | i mean THE bill | 01:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... Wha? | 01:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I have no idea what you're talking about, now... | 01:42 |
| LINKSWORD2 | IRC is free... | 01:43 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, na na | 01:43 |
| * Daskreech whispers. I think lcb just wants to send you a bill | 01:43 | |
| LINKSWORD2 | HAHA! | 01:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Thanks, Daskreech | 01:43 |
| lcb | now things changed. you need to inser 1 dollar bill in your CD tray for 12 hrs of IRC usage | 01:44 |
| lcb | insert, too | 01:44 |
| lcb | face up, LINKSWORD2 | 01:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | If I insert said bill into CD tray, then I can take it back out. | 01:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 01:45 |
| lcb | oops, i forgot about #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I thought I was the n00b... lol | 01:45 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,if you *think* someone is pounding your ip, check on freenode.net help page and protect yourself | 01:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | No, the problem is my IRC controller on my Windows laptop. | 01:46 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I know how to fix it, but it's a pain to do. | 01:46 |
| lcb | i don't remember the name now, but i think that protection is called kloandom | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol kondom | 01:47 |
| moes | Having problems booting Kubuntu 10.04 from Ubuntu 10.04 grub 2 display | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | JK | 01:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What are the benefits of upgrading from Kubuntu 10.04 to 11.04? | 01:48 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,please, just don't upgrade to unity | 01:49 |
| new2net | I don't always make great choices, but when I do... it involves KDE :) finally got it working | 01:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What do you mean by unity? | 01:49 |
| Daskreech | new2net: :) | 01:49 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: KDE 4.7 | 01:50 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,like all upgrades, a lot of things are improved and/or corrected | 01:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I believe that 11.04 is called Natty Narwhal... Correct? | 01:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | AKA Natty for short. | 01:50 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: it is | 01:50 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,yes. 10 points | 01:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | xD | 01:50 |
| lcb | i've been there | 01:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | So the question is, what has been improved between 10.04 and 11.04? | 01:51 |
| lcb | and didn't like / unity. now i'm in love with KDE-Ubuntu | 01:51 |
| Daskreech | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/11.04-release <--- LINKSWORD2 | 01:51 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,do you have time? | 01:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I've got plenty of time. | 01:52 |
| lcb | Daskreech,that was the right/strate/correct answer | 01:52 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,because to name all changes you might stay here for a while | 01:52 |
| lcb | like 2 months | 01:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 01:52 |
| lcb | hmmm your "lol" is triggering an IRC disconnection. | 01:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... Epic fail. | 01:53 |
| lcb | don't "lol" anymore, just to make sure.. | 01:53 |
| tso | lol | 01:53 |
| lcb | hmm | 01:53 |
| * new2net finds this funny. | 01:53 | |
| lcb | new2net,before you send me again to #ubuntu-offtopic :p | 01:54 |
| moes | Having problems booting Kubuntu 10.04 from Ubuntu 10.04 grub 2 display...What info do you need to help ??? | 01:55 |
| lcb | moes,press SHIFT right after bios messages and go to grub recovery menu. update everything | 01:56 |
| tso | DarthFrog: but i don't understand | 01:56 |
| tso | is it a driver problem i have? | 01:56 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Icb, how can I disable an update that I don't want? | 01:56 |
| tso | or do i have to do something else? | 01:56 |
| tso | my is bc4318 | 01:56 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,when? | 01:57 |
| moes | lcb, I have run update-grub from Ubuntu and the info updated | 01:57 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, use synaptic to do that | 01:57 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Nevermind. I do think I found the issue. | 01:58 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's a web browser, of which, I don't like the newest version. | 01:59 |
| lcb | moes,don't you get the kernels choice? | 01:59 |
| moes | lcb, Yes I have the Kubuntu kernel and the Ubuntu kernel | 01:59 |
| * tso donnnt ndeerstand | 01:59 | |
| tso | lol | 01:59 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hehe. | 02:00 |
| lcb | and the recovery option... if you go there you have, besides others, a failsafeX. isn't that what you need? | 02:00 |
| * lcb don't understand tso not understanding | 02:00 | |
| moes | lcb, The safe mode does not open Kubuntu only gives the same errors | 02:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Double LOL! | 02:01 |
| tso | moes: but does the safe mod work with wireless? | 02:01 |
| moes | I am hard wired | 02:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Icb? Can I upgrade to 11.04 via the Konsole terminal? | 02:02 |
| multipass | how do i add a link to the bottom panel, a link to an applciation | 02:03 |
| lcb | moes, try that failsafeX option. fix packages before with option DPKG and GRUB | 02:03 |
| lcb | GRUB is to update the grub2 btw | 02:03 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,if you call me again Icb i'm going to call IRC to take care of you :/ | 02:04 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... So what is it again? | 02:04 |
| moes | lcb, Both grubs are 2 I can mount kubuntu partition and see /boot/grub/gru.cfg | 02:04 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Is it lcb? | 02:04 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,10 pints | 02:05 |
| lcb | i mean, points | 02:05 |
| tso | HI | 02:05 |
| tso | i deleted windows | 02:06 |
| tso | but when i start the pc grub page appears | 02:06 |
| tso | how do i remove this? | 02:06 |
| lcb | moes,i would not go into the risk here in how to configure that. better check ubuntu's grub2 help page | 02:06 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hehe. I'll take a pint, too. :P | 02:06 |
| moes | lcb, Thanks for the effort | 02:07 |
| lcb | moes,sorry buddy, i messed grub once, following tips over the IRC | 02:07 |
| lcb | each case is a scenario | 02:07 |
| lcb | 1 scenario | 02:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | At any rate, can I upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 via the Konsole terminal? | 02:08 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,NO | 02:10 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,because you make too many mistakes when you write | 02:10 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , first | 02:11 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, I'll do that. | 02:11 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, then, sudo apt-get check && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean | 02:12 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Alright. | 02:13 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,then reboot, press SHIFT right before grub loads and select recovery kernel | 02:13 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, on the menu, to make sure everything is ok, select Clean then DPKG, then GRUB options, then select ROOT and reboot | 02:14 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2, are you ok? :o | 02:15 |
| tso | anybody knows? how do i disable grub | 02:15 |
| lcb | i hope you are not breaking any virtual bones with all this falls | 02:15 |
| tso | as i don't have windows installed anymore but the computer still asks me which system to boot | 02:15 |
| tso | how do i disable it? | 02:15 |
| tso | to boot faster | 02:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | If you didn't catch my last message, I'm going to kill my IRC client program. | 02:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Anyway. | 02:21 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What I asked before was whether or not it is possible to upgrade by direct download on my Kubuntu computer? | 02:22 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,in general: FIX everything before upgrading, by doing what i told you | 02:23 |
| lcb | geeee | 02:23 |
| * lcb ** is now talking with IRC to make LINKSWORD2 changing nick to *** YO-YO | 02:27 | |
| LINKSWORD2 | Yeah, bite me. | 02:27 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,did you see what i wrote? | 02:28 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Yes, I did. | 02:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | And no, I will not have my name changed. | 02:29 |
| lcb | don't do anything before updating and fixing the system. then use the graphical interface for upgrading. you have a notice there | 02:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, I did not see that part. | 02:30 |
| lcb | unless you want more headaches, like the 1s w/ IRC | 02:30 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,are you thinking in upgrading that machine or other aside? | 02:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm currently on a Windows 7 laptop. I'm upgrading my experimental Kubuntu machine. | 02:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Or at least, that's the plan. | 02:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lcb, did you see my last message? | 02:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm a long-time Windows user, and now that I have an extra computer around, I've put Kubuntu onto it for experimenting. | 02:36 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,sorry, i see now. wait | 02:36 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm upgrading the experiment machine. | 02:36 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,so don't miss the first steps i told you | 02:37 |
| lcb | and ask here any doubts | 02:37 |
| SIR_Taco | wow.... trying to catch up | 02:37 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Can you lay out the steps and commands on a Pastebin, then share the link to it with me? | 02:37 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,sudo -i | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get check && apt-get -f install && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean && ReBoOt | 02:39 |
| tso | Hello, why is my WLAN interface unavailable | 02:39 |
| lcb | ohh boy... | 02:39 |
| tso | lcb: do you know? | 02:39 |
| SIR_Taco | this can't end up well | 02:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... Epic fail. Again. | 02:43 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: awesome.... 12 | 02:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What? | 02:44 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,sudo -i | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get check && apt-get -f install && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean && ReBoOt | 02:45 |
| lcb | this was the last time :p | 02:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Welcome... To hell... | 02:46 |
| lcb | tso, try 'ifup -a ' | 02:46 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: welcome.... to unappreciated bandom | 02:47 |
| lcb | tso,better so you know what's wrong and how to deal w/it... > http://goo.gl/MmDA | 02:48 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,windows is good, isn't? | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | The problem I'm having isn't Windows itself. It's the IRC program I'm using. | 02:49 |
| lcb | !xchat | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 02:50 |
| lcb | wow | 02:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | No, I'm not using xchat | 02:50 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2,so do it. is for win too | 02:51 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: Dare I ask what the problem is, and what IRC program you're using? | 02:51 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's the built-in IRC client on the Opera web browser. | 02:52 |
| lcb | ahh | 02:52 |
| lcb | figures | 02:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | And the problem is that it's getting an incorrect parse-return request. | 02:52 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: ok.... so.... have you tried talking to the Opera people? | 02:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I know how to fix it. It just takes a long time. | 02:53 |
| lcb | or singing a bit ... opera | 02:53 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: so, then what's the problem? | 02:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 02:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't want to go into extensive details. I'm basically not interested in fixing it right now. | 02:54 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: then submit a bug report and quit complaining | 02:54 |
| lcb | he's not complaining a lot :o no time for it - every time he "talks" drops the connection | 02:56 |

| tso | wireless doesn't work :/ | 04:07 |
| Magnusson | what's going on | 04:08 |
| tso | Magnusson: when i recently installed kubuntu | 04:08 |
| tso | the wireless didn't detected any networks | 04:09 |
| tso | it was with the B43 driver installed | 04:09 |
| tso | (its the bcm4318 model) | 04:09 |
| Magnusson | oh sorry tso , was talking to preecher, that's a bit out of my realm unfortunately | 04:09 |
| preecher | Magnusson i was having trouble with my mic last night an installed the pulse audio volume control before i could get it working | 04:11 |
| Magnusson | preecher>oh yeah? did you ever get it working properly? i just did that, installed pavucontrol, then removed pulseaudio and pavucontrol, then reinstalled both (after reading in some forum) | 04:12 |
| preecher | yes--its working perfect now | 04:12 |
| preecher | after messing with it for like 45 minutes i remembered i had to do the same thing in xubuntu | 04:13 |
| Magnusson | preecher>so just installing pulse audio volume control fixed it completely? | 04:19 |
| preecher | it did on mine--i just unmuted my mic thru the pulse control and it was working | 04:20 |
| Magnusson | hm after i reinstalled my friends said they could hear very low music in the background, but with a lot of static. i'm not quite sure where i'd go to mess with those settings to try to clear it up | 04:21 |

| pastyhermit | rekonq is so buggy | 05:29 |
| pastyhermit | what the hell is safari.jsp | 05:29 |

| pastyhermit | well ok maybe not so buggy but the release team sure screwed that one up. | 05:29 |
| Magnusson | pastyhermit>that safari.jsp crap irritated the crap out of me too | 05:31 |
| pastyhermit | Magnusson: did you fix it? | 05:32 |
| Taggnostr | when I updated to 11.04 something went wrong and kde now fails to load, I tried to debug the problem and even managed to install fluxbox, but I didn't fixed it, so I'm thinking about formatting and installing everything from scratch. Is there a way to avoid buring a kubuntu cd/dvd? | 05:39 |
| DarkwingDuck | Taggnostr: you have a USB thumb drive? | 05:40 |
| Magnusson | pastyhermit>nah not yet | 05:40 |
| Magnusson | pastyhermit>oh you mean the safari thing? | 05:40 |
| Taggnostr | DarkwingDuck, yep | 05:40 |
| DarkwingDuck | Taggnostr: Why not use that? | 05:41 |
| Taggnostr | how does it work? should I just copy the iso on that or is there an installer-like program that downloads everything once I launch it? | 05:42 |

| Magnusson | pastyhermit>nah i hate konqueror as a generality but just happened to use it the other day, and that little error sent me running right back away | 05:49 |
| vbgunz | Magnusson: what error? | 05:53 |
| Magnusson | somehting about safari.jsp kept popping up, pastyhermit would probably know more if he uses konq/rekonq more | 05:53 |
| pastyhermit | Magnusson: that wasnt konqueror that was rekonq | 05:53 |
| vbgunz | yeah, I get that in rekonq a whole lot... to the point it's just bothersome | 05:54 |
| Magnusson | no idea why it does it | 05:54 |

| alexey | Hi all! I have gnome-based ubuntu... And I want to install kubuntu-desktop... So I have installed kubuntu-desktop package, all kde applications have been installed. But now, there is not kdm... so in gnome I have cursor like kde and loading screen have changed to blue-kubuntu | 12:02 |
| asraniel | i never done that. but when logging in, what is the login manager you have? | 12:03 |
| asraniel | is it the gnome or the kde login manager? | 12:03 |
| asraniel | alexey: the kde one should remotely look like this: http://moinakg.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/kde-kdm1.png | 12:03 |
| alexey | no. loging screen has not changed | 12:04 |
| alexey | I have experience installing kde under 9.10 and 9.04 | 12:05 |
| OerHeks | alexey, at login, choose your name, so the password dialog appear,then you can choose KDM at bottom panel | 12:06 |
| alexey | and until it is in installing process it always asking default display manager | 12:06 |
| alexey | but in 10.04 LTS | 12:06 |
| alexey | it was not=( | 12:06 |
| alexey | so I can't choose KDM at bottom panel, because ComboBox there is not=( | 12:07 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 13:32 |
| AciD | hi | 13:32 |
| jussi | afief: the kubntu part is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes#Kubuntu | 13:33 |
| jussi | Hi AciD | 13:33 |
| AciD | i'm wondering if anybody using btrfs for / and /home get super uberly ultra slow kubuntu natty distrib ? For instance, the last update (including libroffice, quassel and other apps) is now running for 40 minutes and is only at 58%. only 1 core is a 100%, the 3 others are idling | 13:33 |
| afief | jussi: thanks, reading right now | 13:33 |
| tobs_ | test | 13:34 |
| tobs_ | ah it works | 13:34 |
| jussi | AciD: is your /home encrypted? | 13:34 |
| AciD | the general responsivness of the distrib is quite ok though | 13:34 |
| SeanTater | AciD: I only used it on Meerkat and I forgot I used it entirely - nothing seemed to change/ | 13:34 |
| jussi | AciD: Ive found with /home encrypted it can get super slow - especially with file pickers and dolphin etc. | 13:35 |
| AciD | except when I submit those lines in quassel irc, they show up only ~2 seconds after "enter" | 13:35 |
| AciD | yes, my home is encrypted | 13:35 |
| jussi | AciD: However, thats a general feeling only, not a diagnosis | 13:35 |
| Turbotobs | test | 13:36 |
| AciD | but encryption wouldn't explain why an apt-get upgrade is so slow though, as / isn't encrypted | 13:36 |
| AciD | test 14h36 20s30 | 13:36 |
| AciD | hm | 13:36 |
| AciD | the installation is now at 60%... | 13:37 |
| AciD | only 2% progress in 2 minutes is clearly not normal | 13:37 |
| AciD | not an a core i5 2410m and a 750GB 7200rpm hd I think | 13:38 |
| jussi | AciD: that does seem strange. | 13:39 |
| AciD | i'm not swaping btw, got 844MB of free RAM | 13:39 |
| AciD | I did kernel panic the boot before, it seemed it was a btrfs problem | 13:40 |
| AciD | ah, and i'm on an amd64 arch | 13:40 |
| Pici | trolling | 13:41 |
| Pici | oops | 13:41 |
| Pici | ignore that, I was in the wrong window. | 13:41 |
| AciD | I really don't see why it's that slow | 13:41 |
| jussi | AciD: File a bug, describing the issue against btrfs - if its not btrfs they will quickly tell you. | 13:41 |
| AciD | any pointers ? | 13:42 |
| AciD | btw, do you know if the kernel save core dumps somewhere during kernel panic ? | 13:42 |
| === mren|off is now known as mren | ||

| kaddi | i'm using virtualbox and the snapshots taken can easily be 6-10Gb in space. So it's filling up my personal folder real fast | 14:59 |
| AciD | kaddi: you can always create symbolic links | 15:00 |
| kaddi | in related terms: How is the konqueror/dolphin plugin called again where you can get a visual of how big each folder is? | 15:00 |

| AciD | filelight is the apps you are searching for ? | 15:01 |
| === christian86_ is now known as christian__ | ||
| kaddi | thanks AciD i'll look into symbolic links.. The name filelight doesn't ring a bell.. but since I can't remember the one I mean .... >.> | 15:01 |
| === christian__ is now known as _christian_ | ||
| leo__ | Thank you | 15:01 |
| AciD | kaddi: it was "radial map" view iirc, but filelight does the same thin i guess | 15:02 |
| _christian_ | anybody knows how to expand an extended partition? | 15:03 |
| kaddi | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/appsinkonquerorpf1.png/ that's the one I mean.. it comes without a name in the article >.> | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | !gparted | _christian_ | 15:04 |
| ubottu | _christian_: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 15:04 |
| kaddi | i think it may have been called fsview? | 15:04 |
| kaddi | !fsview | 15:04 |
| AciD | kaddi: I guess it's not supported since kde4 as it was a konq plugin | 15:04 |
| _christian_ | BluesKaj ubottu i got the kde partition manager | 15:05 |
| _christian_ | but i will try gparted | 15:05 |
| kaddi | AciD: hmm, ok.. I thought i'd used it on kde4, but that may have been upgrade not clean install | 15:05 |
| AciD | kaddi: from my point of view, a radial map is more clear than this kind of view :) | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | _christian_, gparted live cd is best | 15:07 |
| kaddi | AciD: not a big fan of radial maps.. it's usually hard to tell what folder is which in the map and you can't see what each folder contains | 15:08 |

| AciD | kaddi: lemme start my ubuntu 8.04 distrib, and I'll tell you the name of that thing | 15:09 |
| _christian_ | BluesKaj: i installed gparted on my pc but i cant resizre the extended partition, do i need ubuntu live cd? | 15:09 |
| kaddi | AciD: i'm pretty sure it was fsview by now. But it seems to have gone | 15:09 |
| lionzw | BluesKaj | 15:10 |
| _christian_ | BluesKaj: or cant ubuntu change mounted partitions? | 15:10 |
| AciD | for those interested, about my previous ultra slowness problem.it seems it's related to using btrfs for / | 15:10 |
| szal | *ouch* | 15:10 |
| AciD | dpkg and btrfs = disaster | 15:11 |
| lionzw | youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdCjsr3LaT8&feature=youtu.be <-- this gives me the same error | 15:11 |
| szal | _christian_: of course you can't work on a mounted partition! | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | _christian_, use the gparted live cd , it has more options ...you can't resize partitions on a mounted drive | 15:11 |
| lionzw | ERROR: unable to download video (format may not be available) | 15:11 |
| _christian_ | BluesKaj: but how could kubuntu change the partition? | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu live cd can | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | if you insist , _christian_ | 15:12 |
| _christian_ | BluesKaj: i changed the partition before setup routine correctly | 15:12 |
| kaddi | AciD: one thing to be said about filelight is that it's fast at building it's radial maps. That's quite impressive | 15:12 |
| _christian_ | now: my extended partition has lost all of unused free space | 15:12 |
| _christian_ | and is appended to the end | 15:12 |
| === lionzw is now known as _atheist_ | ||
| _christian_ | okay i will try live cd, if its not working i come and blame on you :) | 15:13 |
| AciD | the only quick workaround I see is booting on a liveusb, copying the content of / on an external hd, then reformatting / to ext4, and back. what a big loss of time.. | 15:13 |
| AciD | kaddi: indeed | 15:13 |
| AciD | kaddi: it's only named "Afficheur de taille de fichier" which can be tranlated and "file size displayer" | 15:15 |
| AciD | :/ | 15:15 |
| kaddi | it's hokai, I'm from France :p | 15:15 |

| naftilos76 | hi there i bought a nas device from Synology which of course runs linux. The options i have to access files or mount shares are ftp/smb/nfs . I want to try nfs which is linux's native protocol rather than trying smb which worked fine in the past. It is just that i have an issue with greek filenames appearing when mounting via smb but not via ftp. So i need to access via nfs. How do i do it? I have never used nfs before (shame on me)! Can | 15:18 |
| naftilos76 | anybody help? I am on Kubuntu 10.10 fully updated and KDE 4.6.2. | 15:18 |
| _christian_ | anyone knows how to resize extended partitions? (gparted on live cd does not work) | 15:24 |
| === ubuntu is now known as AciD | ||
| AciD | re | 15:24 |
| AciD | I'm copying all the files from / to a an external hd, but I encountered something new : the / isn't just "/" but "@/". Is that normal, I mean, should I copy all the system directories under that "@" ? | 15:26 |
| tsimpson | AciD: where are you seeing "@/"? | 15:28 |
| AciD | tsimpson: right in /media/uuid_of_my_root_partition/@ | 15:29 |
| AciD | my root folder for instance is in : /media/uuid_of_my_root_partition/@/root | 15:29 |
| AciD | that's definitly new to me ! | 15:30 |
| AciD | I'm wondering if this is btrfs related, since I'll format it to ext4, I don't know if I'll need to keep the "@" or not | 15:30 |
| tsimpson | the root partition is always '/' | 15:31 |
| tsimpson | or, always mounted to '/' anyway | 15:31 |
| AciD | yes, that's what I see when I use kubuntu natty, but not from live usb | 15:31 |
| tsimpson | I don't know where @ came from, but if it's the only directory under /media/uuid_of_my_root_partition/, then you can think of that as the root FS | 15:32 |
| AciD | ok I got it | 15:33 |
| AciD | it's btrfs related it seems, as I found that in /etc/fstab : "/dev/sda6 / btrfs defaults,subvol=@ 0 1" | 15:33 |
| AciD | I guess I'll have to drop it if I wans to use ext4 instead | 15:33 |
| AciD | wans | 15:34 |
| AciD | want | 15:34 |
| tsimpson | you can probably just "assume" that @ is /, and go from there | 15:34 |
| AciD | yep | 15:36 |
| Feldegast | hi, whenever i reboot and log in, my ketboard profile is wrong, i have found that if i load gnome-keyboard-properties, then view my keyboard but do not change any settings then exit it is fixed, until i reboot, is there a more perminant solution? i have a US international keyboard (well it is a Logitech G19 but US international is better than what it defaults to) | 15:40 |
| AciD | Feldegast: check ~/.config/ dir for any *.map files | 15:45 |
| AciD | Feldegast: then try #ubuntu, as it seems it's a gnome related problem | 15:46 |
| * AciD crosses his fingers and reboot | 15:59 | |
| _christian_ | anyone knows how to resize extended partitions? | 16:00 |
| James147 | _christian_: use partition manager or gparted | 16:01 |
| _christian_ | James147: does not work, even on live cd | 16:01 |
| James147 | _christian_: what filesystem? | 16:01 |
| _christian_ | its an extended partition | 16:01 |
| James147 | thats not a filesystem | 16:02 |
| _christian_ | i got logical volumes with ntfs, ext4 and swap | 16:02 |
| _christian_ | and i want to add some free disk space | 16:02 |
| _christian_ | kubuntu resized the extended partition during installation | 16:02 |
| _christian_ | which was not wanted and not selectet in partition manager | 16:03 |
| _christian_ | i partitioned the disk with the partition manager from kde4 and then i selected the volumes for installation in the install wizard | 16:03 |
| James147 | _christian_: if you are trying to shrink you need to shrink the logical partition first I thin, if yo are trying to grow you need to grow into unalocated space | 16:03 |
| _christian_ | i got unalocated space | 16:04 |
| _christian_ | i want to grow | 16:04 |
| _christian_ | but if i right click on the entended partition i cannot select "resize" | 16:05 |
| James147 | _christian_: and the unalocated space is next to the extended partition? | 16:05 |
| _christian_ | at the end out of | 16:05 |
| _christian_ | i got a n extended partition 400GB now its 215 | 16:06 |
| _christian_ | 100gb the ntfs logical | 16:06 |
| _christian_ | and the rest for the three swap home and root partition for natty | 16:06 |
| _christian_ | and at the "end" out of the extended is the free space | 16:06 |
| _christian_ | any ideas? :> | 16:07 |
| _christian_ | James147: i got it: natty is silly: you have to select: deactivate swap-partition | 16:10 |
| _christian_ | then you can change the size-.- | 16:10 |

| noaXess_netubu | in made a fresh install from 11.04 and had no internet while installing | 16:18 |
| dniMretsaM | hello | 16:18 |
| noaXess_netubu | now i have.. and on install there was a question to install special extras.. tools, wlan drivers.. how can i do that now | 16:18 |
| dniMretsaM | you need to connect to the Internet to do that | 16:18 |
| noaXess_netubu | yes.. now after install i have interne :) how do that after installation? | 16:19 |
| dniMretsaM | you need to check in Additional Drivers and Update Manager | 16:20 |
| noaXess_netubu | arethis the kubuntu-restricted-extras/addons? | 16:20 |
| noaXess_netubu | already done.. | 16:20 |
| dniMretsaM | no, these are different | 16:20 |
| kore_ | Hello, I just installed kubuntu 11.04 and am getting no sound... help | 16:21 |
| dniMretsaM | update manager is Kpackagekit if u didn't know that | 16:21 |
| noaXess_netubu | dniMretsaM: i know all that :p.. just want to know the package name for special wlan drivers.. | 16:21 |
| dniMretsaM | you'll also need to install Flash. I recommend the Firefox add-on Flash-Aid. And for wlan drivers, I don't know what you would use. It all depends on the hard ware you have | 16:22 |
| acid | ok, not good :( | 16:22 |
| dniMretsaM | wut's not good acid? | 16:23 |
| acid | this system booted ok, the switch from btrfs to ext4 root worked | 16:23 |
| acid | but, now I can't access my /home. it says "mount: /dev/sda9 is already mounted or /home is busy" | 16:24 |
| acid | I figured out it was related to dm-crypt | 16:24 |
| acid | but I don't really know what to do now :( | 16:24 |
| dniMretsaM | um, did you try unmounting it and the re-mounting? | 16:24 |
| acid | yes, it says it's not mounted | 16:25 |
| acid | and nothing can be seen in /home | 16:25 |
| acid | I also tried to mount /dev/sda9 in another directory (/mnt/home) | 16:26 |
| acid | same effect | 16:26 |
| dniMretsaM | is /home in a separate partition? | 16:26 |
| acid | yes | 16:26 |
| acid | I mean no | 16:26 |
| dniMretsaM | that's odd, if u can access other stuff on the same partition, it shouldn't be a problem | 16:26 |
| acid | ok let me rephrase is | 16:27 |
| acid | I can't access anything from /dev/sda9, which contains /home/* | 16:27 |
| acid | and the mount point folder /home/ is empty (on /dev/sda10) | 16:28 |
| acid | lsof|grep /home shows nothing | 16:28 |
| dniMretsaM | hmm, well, I don't think I can help you | 16:28 |
| dniMretsaM | sorry, too advanced for me | 16:28 |
| dniMretsaM | :-$ | 16:28 |
| acid | i'm f*cked. :( I just used 4 whole days to switch from my old 8.04/10.10 combo to the new 11.04, and now I can't access the data I don't know why | 16:29 |
| dniMretsaM | did u upgrade? | 16:29 |
| acid | fresh install | 16:30 |
| acid | but not the point | 16:30 |
| kore_ | Hello, I just installed kubuntu 11.04 and am getting no sound, could someone help me? | 16:31 |
| acid | I did delete the / partition (former /dev/sda6 with btrfs) and formatted it with ext4 (it changed to /dev/sda10 then) | 16:31 |
| dniMretsaM | I know it's not the point. try making a thread on the Ubuntu Forums. Lot's of people who are much more knowledgeable than me there | 16:31 |
| acid | don't know if that cound be related | 16:31 |
| acid | I did changed the /etc/fstab accordingly, but I could have forgot something else | 16:31 |
| acid | thanks for your help anyway dniMretsaM | 16:32 |
| dniMretsaM | yep. sry I couldn't be of any help | 16:32 |

| BluesKaj | I guess i'd better turn joins and patrs back on | 16:39 |
| dniMretsaM | lol | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | i hate the clutter tho | 16:40 |
| dniMretsaM | yeah. I know wut u mean | 16:40 |
| acid | I was DAMN lucky this time !!! I figured out why it couldn't mount /dev/sda9 in /home ! | 16:40 |
| acid | it was /etc/crypttab which was wrongly pointing the swap on my /dev/sda9 (/home) partition | 16:41 |
| acid | luckyly enough, I rebooted before /home got touched | 16:41 |
| dniMretsaM | glad u figured it out | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | acid, how many OSs on that drive ? | 16:42 |
| acid | it's kind of a miracle for me to have found an anwser, and so quickly ! | 16:43 |
| acid | BluesKaj: only one, for now | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | /dev/sda9 ? | 16:43 |
| acid | /dev/sda9 is my /home partition | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj | time to write a new partition table methinks :) | 16:44 |
| acid | for info, if some feels the system is sluggish, the switch from btrfs to ext4 for root seems to work perfectly | 16:44 |
| acid | no more freezes and stuff | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj | when you decide to new clean install would be a good time | 16:45 |
| acid | BluesKaj: what do you mean ? | 16:45 |
| acid | BluesKaj: I did do a clean install on that now laptop, but then copy pasted (and merger) my configuration files from previous 8.04, 10.10 and 11.04 /home(s) | 16:46 |
| acid | I won't ever do that again, it's a pita | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | well, sda9 means you must have a whole bunch of small partitions not doing anything or you've just retained the name from the last time you formatted | 16:47 |
| acid | now I just need to figured out how to prevent that toshiba portege r830 to dim the brightness permanently after a suspend | 16:47 |
| multipass | why do i keep getting authentication failed on my ATI admin | 16:48 |
| multipass | hmm | 16:48 |
| acid | BluesKaj: ah I see your point. I do have many partition (3 for base windows, 3 for different linux distro, 1 swap, 1 boot and 1 home) | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | acid, that's what asked before , how many OSs on the drive | 16:50 |
| acid | BluesKaj: my fault :) | 16:50 |
| acid | BluesKaj: english isn't my native language, sometimes I get confused :) | 16:50 |

| LINKSWORD2 | Can anybody tell me off the top of their head how to get to recovery mode on Kubuntu? | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, hold down the shift key after the bios page and you'll get the grub menu | 18:37 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Thanks Blues | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | np | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, actually atthe bios page would be best | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | at | 18:38 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Why? | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | so it doesn't pass grub | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | err passover | 18:39 |
| LINKSWORD2 | All right. | 18:39 |
| === white is now known as aeolu | ||
| LINKSWORD2 | BluesKaj: Do you know how to disable Desktop Effects? It's what is causing Kubuntu to not load. | 18:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I just get a black screen with [ OK in the top-right corner. | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | when do you get the blacl scrn ? | 18:42 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I keep getting disconnected if I don't keep typing | 18:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | FYI, that sucks. | 18:44 |
| Graf_Westerholt | How do you connect, LINKSWORD2? | 18:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Built in IRC on Opera. | 18:46 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... Whoa. Recovery mode seems to have switched over completely to Ubuntu standard, rather than the KDE/Plasma interface of Kubuntu. | 18:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Now I'm really lost. | 18:48 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Haha! That does sound like House. xD | 18:48 |
| Graf_Westerholt | LINKSWORD2, are you only disconnected from IRC or Internet? | 18:48 |
| LINKSWORD2 | IRC. | 18:49 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Try another IRC-Client. | 18:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Forget about that. I'm on a Windows PC. The problem there explains itself. | 18:49 |
| Graf_Westerholt | :) | 18:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Let's just get my Linux system running... properly. | 18:50 |
| Graf_Westerholt | k | 18:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I have run through recovery mode, and now I have a standard Ubuntu up on screen. | 18:50 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Kubuntu's KDE and Plasma interfaces apparently have disappeared. | 18:50 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Maybe that is the point of the recovery modes | 18:51 |
| Graf_Westerholt | ? | 18:51 |

| LINKSWORD2 | The choices are Delete or Don't Delete. :/ | 18:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What I have here is now Ubuntu. I'm familiar with KDE. | 18:53 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Graf_Westerholt: What can I do to fix this? | 18:55 |
| Graf_Westerholt | I can just guess. Reinstall KDE? | 18:56 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Do you know any of the command lines to do so? | 18:56 |
| Graf_Westerholt | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 18:57 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Cool. I'll do that. | 18:57 |
| Graf_Westerholt | ok | 18:57 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Graf? | 19:00 |
| Graf_Westerholt | ? | 19:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | If I have to install KDE over Ubuntu, will it upgrade, or will it wipe the system? | 19:01 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Non of both. | 19:01 |
| Graf_Westerholt | You can use Gnome AND KDE | 19:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK? | 19:02 |
| wn1zid | how does that work, i never did that before, i mean, using kde and gnome on the same session ?? | 19:02 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Every time you log in you can chose between Gnome or KDE. | 19:02 |
| wn1zid | hah, does it have limitations ? | 19:02 |
| Graf_Westerholt | No. | 19:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Oh, well. I'm not losing much. I'll start over. | 19:02 |
| wn1zid | nice | 19:02 |
| Graf_Westerholt | You can use XFE, too. | 19:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I prefer KDE over GRUB. I don't understand GRUB compared to KDE. | 19:02 |
| wn1zid | are there drastic known issues ?? | 19:02 |
| Graf_Westerholt | !grub | LINKSWORD2 | 19:03 |
| ubottu | LINKSWORD2: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 19:03 |
| wn1zid | heh, maybe ill try that | 19:03 |
| LINKSWORD2 | wn1zid: I just screwed up majorly by enabling Desktop Effects on a machine that couldn't handle the graphics. | 19:03 |
| wn1zid | lemme ask this, if i have a kde setup, can i do the same with gnome ?? | 19:03 |
| LINKSWORD2 | So... Looks like I'm starting over from the ground, going up. | 19:04 |
| wn1zid | LINKSWORD2- from experience, use nvidia | 19:04 |
| wn1zid | and with any effects, i suggest 2 gigs or more ram | 19:04 |
| Graf_Westerholt | wn1zid, you can chose to use either Gnome or KDE every time you log in. | 19:04 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's a 10 or so year old machine. It's an old Compaq I got cheap because it was already a scrapper. | 19:04 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Ah. It can only handle 1GB RAM max. That's the problem I didn't forsee. | 19:05 |
| wn1zid | nice, but can you do that to an already kde setup, installing gnome on it also ?? | 19:05 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Yes, you can. | 19:05 |
| wn1zid | lol, i have kde/gnome/xfce on 3 partitions, maybe ill fool around and try that | 19:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:06 |
| wn1zid | ya | 19:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | You do not need three partitions. :) | 19:06 |
| Peace- | hi | 19:06 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 19:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Just one installation. | 19:06 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Peace- Hi | 19:06 |
| LINKSWORD2 | No doubt. lol | 19:06 |
| wn1zid | i was under the impression that it took over without any prefference | 19:07 |
| Peace- | Graf_Westerholt: hi | 19:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Greetings, Peace- | 19:07 |
| wn1zid | thats cool | 19:07 |
| Peace- | LINKSWORD2: hey | 19:07 |
| Graf_Westerholt | It is Linux, wn1zid. :D | 19:07 |
| wn1zid | ya | 19:07 |
| wn1zid | i switched to linux 5 yrs ago, but never tried that 1 | 19:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | -blink- | 19:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hehe. | 19:08 |
| Graf_Westerholt | I switched to Linux six years ago. | 19:08 |
| Graf_Westerholt | 13.5.2005 :) | 19:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | That's bizarre. I don't see Kubuntu 10.10 on the download site anymore. | 19:08 |
| wn1zid | i cant stand a windoze machine, every time a customer comes in with one, it leaves with linux on it, lol | 19:08 |
| Graf_Westerholt | LOL wn1zid | 19:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | xD | 19:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I, on the other hand, am very familiar with Windows and Mac. I'm using an old PC to experiment with Linux. | 19:10 |
| wn1zid | ya, but to get the full benefit, you need atleast 2 gigs of ram and 3gig chip | 19:10 |
| Graf_Westerholt | We should stay on topic. | 19:10 |
| wn1zid | and an nvidia card | 19:10 |
| * LINKSWORD2 wipes the harddrive again and installs Kubuntu 10.04 LTS again.* | 19:11 | |
| wn1zid | D`oh! | 19:11 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What? | 19:11 |
| multipass | yeah... | 19:12 |
| multipass | 11.04 | 19:12 |
| multipass | and dual monitors | 19:12 |
| multipass | is broken | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, that's an iliegitimate comparison , using an old machine for Linux | 19:12 |
| multipass | the desktop on my other monitor broke sinse 10.10 | 19:12 |
| Graf_Westerholt | I love dual monitors. | 19:12 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It may be, but it's all I can really do, currently. | 19:12 |
| multipass | 11/04 rendered it completly broken | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | you could try a lighter desktop like xfce , LINKSWORD2 | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | !desktop | 19:13 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 19:13 |
| wn1zid | never tried dual monitors, can you use both flat screen and a crt at the same time and get results ? | 19:13 |
| multipass | whats the best desktop environment for dual monitors | 19:13 |
| multipass | yeah wn1zid | 19:14 |
| Graf_Westerholt | wn1zid Yes, ou can. | 19:14 |
| multipass | but... | 19:14 |
| wn1zid | wow, | 19:14 |
| multipass | its super weird | 19:14 |
| LINKSWORD2 | What kind of differences are there between KDE and Xfce? | 19:14 |
| wn1zid | ya, focusing from a 32 to a 17 is herd on the eyes | 19:14 |
| wn1zid | hard | 19:14 |
| Graf_Westerholt | !xfce | 19:14 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 19:14 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I almost want to call Xfce "X-face" | 19:14 |
| wn1zid | lol | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | !xfce | 19:14 |
| wn1zid | 2 many video games there LINKSWORD2 | 19:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | ... Nah. lol | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | !fluxbox | 19:15 |
| ubottu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 19:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Does xfce come with the fluid dock at the bottom, as indicated by this screenshot? http://xubuntu.org/sites/default/files/natty_shot_front_0.png | 19:16 |
| wn1zid | i have a asus eee pc with kde/gnome/xfce on it, it actually runs fabulous with them, and it hass all the effects turned on, i'm very impressed with linux. | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | I used fluxbox on a old pc and it ran well . only 256 ram 266mhz cpu and 6g hdd , but it was very usable . | 19:17 |
| Graf_Westerholt | 266mhz? | 19:17 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 19:17 |
| Graf_Westerholt | VERY old :) | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 19:17 |
| wn1zid | ya, flux or xfce is what you need for that dino LINKSWORD2 | 19:17 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Must be 1995 with 266 MHz | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | it's gone now but it worked well for a yr or so | 19:18 |
| wn1zid | and 133 ram | 19:18 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It runs KDE just fine, except for the desktop effects. I'm not going to do that again. lol | 19:18 |
| wn1zid | wait, back then it was 66 mhz ram | 19:18 |
| Graf_Westerholt | 66 MHZ RAM? | 19:19 |
| wn1zid | back then ya | 19:19 |
| Graf_Westerholt | RAM is memory. | 19:19 |
| Graf_Westerholt | RAM has MHz? | 19:19 |
| multipass | how was kubuntu 10.10 | 19:19 |
| multipass | was it better than 11.04 | 19:19 |
| multipass | i know that 10.10 dual monitors actually worked on ubuntu | 19:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | The computer I'm running Kubuntu on is from early 2003, 1GB RAM and a 2.4GHz processor. | 19:20 |
| Graf_Westerholt | Sysinfo for 'candela': Linux 2.6.38-8-generic running KDE Development Platform 4.6.3 (4.6.3), CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ at 1000 MHz (2010 bogomips), HD: 22/223GB, RAM: 1899/2008MB, 168 proc's, 5.4h up | 19:20 |
| multipass | ubuntu 10.10 > 11.04 | 19:21 |
| multipass | is the same for kubuntu | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, 1000mhz=1Ghz | 19:21 |
| Daskreech | Graf_Westerholt: RAM does have Mhz | 19:22 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Graf_Westerholt: Can I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 via command line? | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | my first pc had 32mhz ram,,we thought it was "powerful" :) | 19:22 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: yes | 19:23 |
| LINKSWORD2 | My CD with 10.10 on it is damaged/corrupted. | 19:23 |

| Daskreech | It's longer but lots more fun | 19:23 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: :) | 19:23 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, how can I do it, Dask? | 19:23 |
| Daskreech | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade | 19:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | All three of those required? | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, just copy and paste it into the terminal | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | it'll work | 19:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Random disconnect, again... | 19:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: Are all three of those commands required? | 19:27 |
| wn1zid | ya | 19:27 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: no but safest way | 19:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK. I'm not 100% sure here, but I should run them each separately, correct? | 19:28 |

| macbook41 | hallo im emil from germany and i need help with installing kubuntu. i have a macbook 4,1 without working cd/dvd-drive and my idea was to make a partition as "kubuntu.iso" or likely and to boot this partition with refit bootloader or something. if someone has any ideas or can help me i would be happy | 19:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | xD One would hope so. | 19:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | emil, your first problem is in attempting to use an ISO file on a Mac. | 19:32 |
| macbook41 | i found a way to convert it into an .dmg | 19:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hold on a second while I grab a link for you. | 19:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | This link has a section for Mac systems: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/ports/releases/10.10/release | 19:34 |
| LINKSWORD2 | From there, since you don't have a working optical drive i.e. CD/DVD drive, I would look for a virtual image mounting program. I'm sorry I cannot recommend one in particular, as I don't know any off the top of my head. | 19:35 |
| macbook41 | but it requires a burned cd or a sd-slot doesnt it? | 19:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | !google Mac virtual disk mounter | 19:35 |
| ubottu | I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ | 19:35 |
| macbook41 | toast titanum | 19:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | D'oh! No google command on this IRC. | 19:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I fail. xD | 19:35 |
| macbook41 | but what does it help if i mount a virtual disc image in the mac os x system | 19:36 |
| macbook41 | i need to shut os x down to install linux right? | 19:36 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Not necessarily. | 19:37 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't have all the information you would need, but there are ways to install Linux to a separate partition without shutting down. | 19:37 |
| macbook41 | i see that would be great | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | !VB | macbook41 | 19:39 |
| BluesKaj | !virtual | 19:39 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 19:39 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: the && make the commands into a chain | 19:40 |
| Graf_Westerholt | !qemu | 19:40 |

| Daskreech | macbook41: does the USB work? | 19:46 |
| Jon__ | Daskreech - thanks. | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | Jon__, ask the retailer , if he doesn't know, it should have some indication on the package | 19:46 |
| Daskreech | Jon__: ask in #ubuntu more people will be there | 19:46 |
| Jon__ | BluesKaj - thanks sounds like a good place to start. | 19:47 |
| Daskreech | If it works on Ubuntu it will most likely work on Kubuntu | 19:47 |
| Jon__ | Daskreech - thanks I'll give that a try. | 19:47 |

| Daskreech | BluesKaj: I've walked into a computer store and asked for help with a macbook RAM issue and seen 4 people's eyes glaze over | 19:49 |
| macbook41 | Daskreech: yes the USB slots are working. i allready tried to install from my 1gb usb drive. i configured it using following instcruction http://pastebin.com/c5kkk4st | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, Ive seen them scatter whenasked about graphics and sound | 19:49 |
| Daskreech | THen again I've walked into computer stores and had to correct what the sales rep was explaining to a customer since it was totally backwards | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | I'll swear some of them were selling shoes 2 weeks previous :) | 19:50 |
| Daskreech | That proves that there are some really dumb people in computer stores but of course does not dispprove at all that there are some really knowledgeable ones :) | 19:50 |
| macbook41 | the problem was that the apple bootloader and the refit bootloader both didnt showed the usb-drive as a "boot-option" | 19:50 |

| Daskreech | macbook41: perhaps could you try holding option when you boot? | 19:52 |
| macbook41 | so i had the idea to make a bootable partition | 19:53 |
| Daskreech | sounds like the path to take | 19:53 |
| macbook41 | Daskreech: first i tried only to hold the alt-key, and it showed only the mac-system partition, then i installed the refit boodloader and this also didnt showed the usb-drive | 19:53 |
| macbook41 | i guess i really have to save money for buying a external cd drive | 19:54 |

| BluesKaj | securityxxxpert, on a desktop , if so open the kmenu/apps/syatem additional drivers , install the recommended driver | 20:38 |

| securityxxxpert | No dice | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | securityxxxpert, most likely it's the nvidia-current | 20:39 |

| Guest47710 | Hi! My desktop sometimes just randomly freezes up (the mouse keyboard screen) and sometimes the mouse will move, but the the system will be frozen!! | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, we heard you the first time ...help isn't instant here | 20:41 |
| Daskreech | Guest47710: Nvidia? | 20:41 |
| Guest47710 | Could be Nvidia. My laptop has no such problems like that because my laptop uses intel video chipset! | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, some desktop themes are causing a problem in kde , perhaps a change of theme in workspace appearance will help | 20:43 |
| Guest47710 | ok | 20:44 |
| blackmoon-105 | my bluetooth device is recognized only if I reboot from windows 7. i'm under natty. can you help me? | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | window decor or desktop theme , or both Guest47710 | 20:45 |
| === white is now known as aeolu | ||
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105, dunno much about bluez , but have tried to configure it ? | 20:46 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: yes, but with not results | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | bummer, maaybe the driver is being enabled at boot | 20:47 |
| === mehmet is now known as mechan23 | ||
| Guest47710 | well, hopefully when I build my PC, i'll use ATI instead. BTW, is ATI video drivers better in Linux? | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | from windows but not kubuntu | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, dunno , I have 3 nvidia pci cards on linux ...no probs | 20:48 |
| wn1zid | nvidia works best 4 linux | 20:48 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: in kubunto bt is recongnized only if i restart from windows, if i turn off the notebook and then power on, the bt is unavailable | 20:49 |
| wn1zid | plus, they are constantly updating and improving drivers | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105, there must be a faulty line in the config file | 20:50 |
| Guest47710 | Maybe it's because I have a crappy onboard video card. | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105, why not purgew bluez and reinstall | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, decent video cards are worth it , especially now with all the home theater options with hdmi etc ..i bought a 8400gs for 45bucks US and work great | 20:53 |
| BluesKaj | it works great | 20:54 |
| Guest47710 | Nvidia? | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 20:54 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: nothing... | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105, bid you reboot | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | did | 20:55 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: ok, i try | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | I think this KB needs cleaning , again ..too close to the coffee coaster | 20:57 |
| Guest47710 | How do I make my own Kubuntu distro? | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105, now you'll have to configure bluez again | 21:00 |
| _lion__ | Guest47710 if you want to fork a distro start with something like rasta linux i think it's called dynebolic | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, if you have to ask ...it will be a worthy task , I'm sure | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | Guest47710, and it won't be kubuntu | 21:03 |
| _lion__ | dynebolic.org | 21:04 |
| _lion__ | the cool thing about dynebolic is that it's free software in the purest sense, unlike kubuntu | 21:05 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: doesn't work.. | 21:05 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: with "hcitool dev" device is not recognized | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | blackmoon-105,sorry , dunno what else to do , except try asking in #ubuntu..they have a lot more ppl there | 21:13 |
| blackmoon-105 | BluesKaj: ok, thanks | 21:13 |
| _lion__ | blackmoon-105 i can refer you to a consultant who will only charge $150USD/hour | 21:14 |
| BluesKaj | _lion__, that distro uses gnome as default ? | 21:15 |
| blackmoon-105 | _lion__: is too much expensive for me :-) | 21:15 |
| _lion__ | BluesKaj no | 21:16 |
| BluesKaj | _lion__, have you tried it ? | 21:16 |
| _lion__ | BluesKaj years ago, yes | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, dormant OS and old too. 2007 | 21:22 |
| _lion__ | i recommended it because it's a simple distro | 21:23 |
| _lion__ | BluesKaj a learning tool | 21:23 |
| _lion__ | before moving on to something serious | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ , this is interesting | 21:24 |
| _lion__ | it is, yes | 21:29 |

| ArchangelSe7en | ? | 22:45 |
| Walzmyn | how can i determine what filesystem a USB stick is formated to? | 22:46 |
| ArchangelSe7en | sudo fdisk -l | 22:46 |
| Walzmyn | I was piddling with fdisk, i just didn't get far enough, thankyouverymucn ArchangelSe7en | 22:47 |
| ArchangelSe7en | you're welcome | 22:47 |
| kubu2 | Walzmyn: better still install partitionmanager | 22:47 |
| Walzmyn | kubu2: yeah, I knew there w2as a faster, CLI way to do it. | 22:48 |
| === NaBoo_ is now known as NaBoo | ||
| kubu2 | Walzmyn: but if you're not familiar with fdisk you could create more trouble | 22:49 |
| kubu2 | asking what should be tells me you are better off with the gui | 22:50 |
| Walzmyn | you can screw up anything with CLI, using it is the only way to learn | 22:50 |
| lcb | default KDE Partition Manager does the job | 22:50 |

| DashX | Hey guys | 23:04 |
| DashX | i gota hopefully relatively simple problem | 23:04 |
| DashX | updated my system today, flash stops working in my browsers. | 23:04 |
| DashX | both firefox and reconq | 23:04 |
| DashX | i uninstalled flashplugin and reinstalled it but that didnt help. Anyone got ideas? | 23:05 |
| lcb | DashX: try dpqg-reconfigure packagename | 23:07 |
| lcb | dpkg-reconfigure ... | 23:07 |
| DashX | thankd | 23:08 |
| DashX | s | 23:08 |
| DashX | i just removed using command line sudo apt-get | 23:09 |
| DashX | instead of that stupid kpackage manager | 23:09 |
| DashX | then reinstalled | 23:09 |
| lcb | DashX: see also if you have more plugins for that (flash) | 23:09 |
| DashX | it works now brosepf. thanks. | 23:09 |
| lcb | great | 23:09 |
| DashX | I got another question if you're willing | 23:09 |
| DashX | Trying to get static IP going | 23:09 |
| DashX | Actually ill deal with that another time | 23:10 |
| DashX | thanks for the help agian lcb :) | 23:10 |
| lcb | DashX: :) | 23:11 |
| lcb | DashX: simple networking it's easy. On /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 | (change iface eth0 inet dhcp to) iface eth0 inet static | address 192.168.1.10 (or ip assigned to the machine from router) | gateway 192.168.1.1 | netmask 255.255.255.0 | network 192.168.1.0 | broadcast 192.168.1.255 | gateway 192.168.1.1 | 23:16 |
| lcb | then $ ' sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ' |or| ' services networking restart ' | 23:18 |
| lcb | btw DashX, if you assign an ip from router you don't need to change... | 23:19 |
