| LincMii | Hi, I have a quick question that's giving me some trouble. I'm trying to copy the directory ~/media/vs_SharedFolder/FolderDirectory and paste it into /var/www/ but I'm having trouble with the cp syntax | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| LincMii | cp -t /media/vs_SharedFolder/FolderDirectory /var/www/ is giving me "omitting directory '/var/www/' | 00:33 |
| LincMii | I apologize. Seems I've been using the wrong option. -r recursive worked | 00:37 |

| bobweaver | any one up and have coffee I have a huge problem | 05:08 |
| holstein | bobweaver: lol... thats no way to sell it ;) | 05:08 |
| holstein | whats up? | 05:08 |
| bobweaver | lol | 05:08 |
| bobweaver | so I install 10.10 about 6months ago then install kde over the top of it | 05:09 |
| holstein | kde? or kubuntu-desktop? | 05:10 |
| bobweaver | now I want to remove the option at log in to use the session "ubuntu desktop " | 05:10 |
| bobweaver | kubuntu-desktop | 05:10 |
| holstein | OK | 05:10 |
| holstein | you want to use KDM at login? | 05:10 |
| bobweaver | yes | 05:10 |
| bobweaver | so I tries to do this in vbox | 05:10 |
| holstein | bobweaver: it *should* be as easy as removing ubunt8-desktop | 05:10 |
| bobweaver | so I would not kill my host | 05:11 |
| holstein | ubuntu-desktop* | 05:11 |
| bobweaver | when I do a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop it says that it can not find it | 05:11 |
| holstein | bobweaver: maybe its not installed | 05:11 |
| holstein | ? | 05:12 |
| bobweaver | so tried to remove gdm | 05:12 |
| holstein | bobweaver: one thing really quick... why? | 05:12 |
| holstein | i mean, its all working well right? | 05:12 |
| bobweaver | yes | 05:12 |
| holstein | i think GDM loads faster than KDM | 05:12 |
| bobweaver | but I just want kde | 05:12 |
| holstein | you got KDE though, right? | 05:13 |
| bobweaver | I never use gnome 2 | 05:13 |
| bobweaver | and evertime I sign into it I have to log out and back in | 05:13 |
| bobweaver | can be a pain | 05:13 |
| holstein | bobweaver: ? | 05:13 |
| holstein | you can choose KDE at login | 05:13 |
| holstein | the first login | 05:14 |
| holstein | bobweaver: anyways... i would suggest switching to KDM | 05:14 |
| bobweaver | so when I get to the login screen I can select ubuntu desktop edition or kde plasma | 05:14 |
| holstein | sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 05:14 |
| holstein | ^ try that | 05:14 |
| bobweaver | I did that | 05:14 |
| holstein | bobweaver: and? | 05:14 |
| bobweaver | I dont even get the blue screen | 05:14 |
| holstein | what about sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 05:15 |
| bobweaver | when I installed kde it asked if I wanted kdm or gdm I choose kdm | 05:15 |
| bobweaver | I will try that right now ^^^^ | 05:15 |
| bobweaver | brb | 05:15 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get purge gdm kdm | 05:16 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install kdm | 05:16 |
| bioterror | :) | 05:16 |
| bioterror | those display managers are rather messed up | 05:16 |
| bobweaver | ok so now when I reboot it brings me to the installer | 05:16 |
| bioterror | no | 05:16 |
| bobweaver | and it is a live cd ???? | 05:16 |
| bioterror | it will not | 05:16 |
| bobweaver | no I am saying that is what is happening | 05:16 |
| holstein | do you have a CD in the machine? | 05:17 |
| bioterror | hey | 05:17 |
| bioterror | bobweaver, you have now KDM? | 05:17 |
| bioterror | I just read backlog | 05:17 |
| bioterror | you have Kubuntu installed and you want to get rid of ubuntu | 05:17 |
| bobweaver | looks like I have to install everything again inn vbox it is a backup of my system | 05:18 |
| holstein | bobweaver: i would double check that you arent booting live media in vbox | 05:18 |
| bobweaver | how do I do that ? | 05:18 |
| bioterror | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekdemaverick.php | 05:18 |
| holstein | im outta hear... bioterror is on the case though :) | 05:18 |
| bioterror | that's how you get rid of Gnome | 05:18 |
| bobweaver | bioterror, I tred that it crashed the system | 05:19 |
| bioterror | how did it crash? | 05:19 |
| bobweaver | it said that it could not find apackage then when I rebooted nothing | 05:20 |
| bobweaver | I was booting from the livedvd in vbox | 05:21 |
| bobweaver | w00ps | 05:21 |
| bobweaver | looks like it worked YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 05:22 |
| bobweaver | ok but it booted me into gnome2 | 05:22 |
| bobweaver | arghhh | 05:22 |
| bobweaver | will try to reconfigure gdm and kdm | 05:23 |
| bioterror | you can choose your session | 05:25 |
| bioterror | from the Display Manager | 05:25 |
| bobweaver | it booted from kdm I could not find it I am a n00b | 05:26 |
| bobweaver | rebooting right now | 05:27 |
| M0hi | bioterror: dont confuse peeps | 05:28 |
| M0hi | :P | 05:28 |
| bobweaver | It worked like you said it is booting in kde | 05:29 |
| bobweaver | ok now how do I get the menu to be the same there is a lost and found folder that I would like to be the same as in gnome can I do this ? | 05:30 |
| bobweaver | omg you guys thank you so much for the help | 05:30 |
| bobweaver | I have been up for two days tring to get this to work | 05:31 |
| bobweaver | pulling my hair out | 05:31 |
| bioterror | yeah | 05:31 |
| bioterror | np ;) | 05:31 |
| bioterror | you're welcome | 05:31 |
| bioterror | M0hi, dont you! | 05:32 |
| bobweaver | I love ubuntu-beginners team | 05:32 |
| bobweaver | you guys know anything about remastersys ? | 05:32 |
| tenach | I'm sure someone does, bobweaver, if you're patient. :D | 05:33 |
| bobweaver | I will be | 05:33 |
| bobweaver | I have been up for two days hitting brick walls and I have learned to be real patient :) | 05:34 |
| M0hi | :P no I am not bioterror | 05:34 |
| M0hi | :P | 05:34 |
| bioterror | making fruitsalad! | 05:36 |
| bobweaver | maybe I should ask my question so after I clear out temp data and make a live dvd of my system I would like for kde to have the same menu that I made in gnome instead it just outs it all in a lost and found sub menu | 05:37 |
| bobweaver | I choose to back up all data and it does good | 05:38 |
| bobweaver | because I changed the menu in kde manually but after install of dvd (mysystem) it remembers my grub and asks where I want to boot from I do not want this I dont see a need for grub to do that | 05:39 |
| bobweaver | and the is no kernel image forr the other partition so it does not boot at all | 05:40 |
| bobweaver | which is a good thing | 05:40 |
| * bobweaver is off to the other partition | 05:43 | |
| bobweaver | back | 05:54 |

| s7nf | which tftp server should i use? Shouldn't be too complicated. tftp-hpa? | 10:23 |
| s7nf | what is the "total" that you get when doing "ls -l" ? | 11:33 |
| M0hi | s7nf: count of files I believe the hidden too | 11:35 |
| M0hi | or sub-folders | 11:35 |
| M0hi | man ls should display about that. Sorry I am not at my maching right now :[ | 11:36 |
| s7nf | M0hi, I dont think it is the count of files or subfolders. Im following this guide for tftp http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/ and this guy gets "total 4" while I get "total 0" | 11:39 |
| s7nf | and we both have only one file | 11:39 |
| M0hi | hmmm! | 11:40 |
| s7nf | under man ls, the -l stands for owner | 11:41 |
| M0hi | -l stands for list or owner? | 11:43 |
| M0hi | s7nf: kindly open termainal and type man ls | grep 'total' | 11:49 |
| M0hi | you can see the answer there | 11:49 |
| M0hi | and that -l is to display different data. you can find them in man ls | 11:49 |
| s7nf | M0hi, grep doesnt find anything | 11:50 |
| M0hi | no way | 11:50 |
| M0hi | it worked here | 11:50 |
| M0hi | give total in quotes | 11:50 |
| s7nf | i did, with and without | 11:51 |
| s7nf | still nothing | 11:51 |
| M0hi | man ls |grep 'total' | 11:51 |
| M0hi | copy paste | 11:51 |
| M0hi | or what is it returning? any error? | 11:51 |
| s7nf | no, new line | 11:51 |
| s7nf | just blank | 11:51 |
| M0hi | argh! | 11:51 |
| s7nf | strange, but don't bother too much with it | 11:52 |
| M0hi | it came here as "total mentions about the count of blocks and also indirect blocks" | 11:52 |
| M0hi | s7nf: no worries. its learning each days | 11:52 |
| s7nf | hmm, could be bocks of data | 11:53 |
| M0hi | yeah thats what it says :) | 11:53 |

| stelm0 | Is it possible to get ubuntu to properly support multitouch on my macbook's touchpad? | 19:11 |
| coalwater | sorry stelm0 but i don't really have any idea, but u could try if the bot knows about it | 19:19 |
| coalwater | !multitouch | 19:19 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'multitouch' not found | 19:19 |
| coalwater | nope :D | 19:19 |
| coalwater | !touchpad | 19:19 |
| ubot2 | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 19:19 |
| coalwater | there try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Enabling%20True%20Multitouch | 19:20 |
| stelm0 | thanks. | 19:24 |
| stelm0 | the way my touchpad currently works is just a step above useless, heh. | 19:25 |
| stelm0 | hmm actually this doesn't really help. I have two finger scrolling working already, but I want to be able to click + drag with two fingers. | 19:27 |
| coalwater | well, i don't really know much about it, it's just what i found | 19:29 |
| stelm0 | Yeah I think I'm SOL, but at least I found how a workaround in the docs. | 19:30 |
| stelm0 | "To drag an item, double-tap but don't lift your finger after the second tap. Drag the item where you want it, then lift your finger to drop. You still need to use hardware buttons to right-click." | 19:30 |
| stelm0 | Funny how Apple's touchpad goes from awesome to frustrating when it doesn't have the proper software support. | 19:31 |
| coalwater | that's the normal touchpad drag and drop | 19:33 |
| stelm0 | right, I'm used to being able to select by placing my thumb on the touchpad, then drag with my forefinger. | 19:35 |
| stelm0 | since apple's touchpad's don't have separate buttons | 19:36 |
