[01:17] hello [01:20] SIR_Taco: Howdy [01:20] g'day Unit [01:29] are you all using Quassel ? [01:30] that is the worst IRC client I have ever tried [01:30] super slow [01:30] TroN-0074: good for you, what would you rather use? [01:30] it should it be called Slowssel [01:31] I could use the plain mIRC client [01:31] with nothing on it [01:31] TroN-0074: then go for it [01:31] thanks [01:32] I coulnt make it work in kubuntu though [01:32] or in linux all together [01:33] TroN-0074: here's a list of the most common: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [01:33] thanks that is great [01:34] np [01:37] I am trying to join this server in quassel lug.mtu.edu but when I type /server irc.lug.mtu.edu quassel does nothing [01:37] do you know what am I typing wrong? [01:40] ive been updating for some time im hung at 60 % its the printer-applet [01:40] its prepairing [01:41] hey what is the text editor tool installed in kubuntu do you know? [01:42] im not for sure [01:42] i maybe kate [01:42] o.k [01:43] tron, there maybe two installed by default [01:43] im not for sure [01:43] I tried gedit and it is not there it says [01:43] thanks [01:43] TroN-0074: Kate for in KDE, nano usually for CLI.... you should be able to change servers in Quassel under File->Networks [01:44] jordan_: what version of Kubuntu are you running? [01:44] thank you sir taco [01:44] also tron sudo apt-get install gedit [01:44] sir, 11.10 [01:45] omg i have no idea [01:45] * mendred has gone fishing: Gone away for now [01:45] jordan_: ok, and you can't access your pritner config from the system settings? [01:46] ill see [01:46] yes i can [01:46] ok... so whats the problem? [01:46] well when im updating [01:47] its hanging on printer-applet [01:47] dont know why [01:47] ok, and how are you updating? [01:47] through kmanager [01:48] when lpacketkit [01:48] kpacketkit* [01:48] well* [01:48] ive been working all day [01:49] jordan_: ok... what if you open konsole (alt-F2 and type konsole) and then type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [01:49] im refreashing software list now [01:50] often if you're running alpha/beta/pre-releases, it's best to update through the command-line... often you'll see what went wrong. [01:50] i dont know what i have [01:50] im know im not on a beta [01:51] i dont feel like compiling programs [01:51] i just like a os that runs [01:51] 11.10 is the latest alpha/testing release... it will change more than your socks :) [01:51] i probably have 11.00 [01:51] or what every it is [01:51] 11.04 is the latest stable, might want to try that [01:52] i havnt when on kubuntu awhile [01:52] mainly windows [01:52] in konsole you can type "uname -a" and it should tell you what version you are running [01:52] forgot the commad [01:53] im sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade now [01:53] ok [01:53] that should get you up to date with whatever version you're on anyway [01:54] i know im now on a beta [01:54] i have the cd somewhere written down on it [01:55] im on my bed now [01:55] not my computer deakj [01:55] desk* [01:55] haha ok [01:55] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [01:55] sounds good [01:55] yes, sounds good... what does "uname -a" report? [01:55] i was just wondering if anyone else was hanging [01:56] I'm on 11.10, and no hang [01:56] Linux Compaq-Presario-CQ60 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:05:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [01:56] is it normal if iwconfig shows wifi0 and wlan0 but I only have one wireless card? [01:57] you're not running 11.10, or you'd have a 3.0.0.X kernel... [01:57] sir, also deb packages are installing with no problems [01:57] i know im not on a beta [01:57] lsv: depends on the card.... [01:59] SIR_Taco: I got an old card, my computer knows about the card, but can't use it (if that makes sense). [01:59] jordan_: ok, but it's hanging on a printer config? have you tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [02:00] lsv: which card? [02:00] nope [02:00] jordan_: well try haha [02:01] thanks for your help [02:01] SIR_Taco: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01) [02:01] hope it helped [02:02] SIR_Taco: I found this link about the card http://www.dlink.com/products/?tab=3&pid=DWL-520&rev=DWL-520 [02:02] ah yes, same card I had... it's a pain in the butt [02:03] SIR_Taco: is there hope? [02:03] oh yes, you can get it to work no problem... just let me find the site [02:04] SIR_Taco: ok, thanks [02:07] lsv: it's a wait/or pay site... but the download is legit : http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/528690/MadWifi.html [02:08] if you need help installing it I'll be glad to help, I've fought with that one for years lol [02:08] SIR_Taco: ok, thanks a bunch [02:14] SIR_Taco: I just downloaded and extracted the files to a directory in my Desktop. Could you guide me through the rest (I'm new at this stuff). [02:16] lsv: yep [02:16] thanks SIR_Taco [02:16] lsv: go to the direcotry via konsole [02:17] done [02:17] ok so you should be able to type: "make && sudo make install" [02:19] I got an error.. [02:19] lsv: what error? [02:20] ./kernelversion.c:13:30: fatal error: linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. [02:20] ok... maybe that was an older release [02:21] and this "Makefile.inc:81: *** Cannot detect kernel version - please check compiler and KERNELPATH. Stop." === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [02:24] hi SIR_Taco [02:24] how are you? [02:26] lsv: are you running 64-bit? [02:26] Daskreech: good thanks, and you? [02:27] I'm pretty sure the computer is 32-bit. [02:27] SIR_Taco: Not too bad [02:29] lsv: try "sudo apt-get install build-essentials" then try your "make && sudo make install [02:29] How can I share via exports a partition that is ntfs formatted? [02:30] SIR_Taco: build-essential, without the s [02:31] yes [02:31] SIR_Taco: the computer with the problem does not have internet access, but dpkg-query -l *build* says I have that package installed [02:31] ok [02:34] the problem is that ath5k and ath9k screw up older Atheros based cards..... I've had this argument many times.... It's a pain to find the currecnt driver because it's "technically" depreciated..... but I will find it haha [02:35] :O thanks :D [02:36] I keep wondering if they should symlink build-essentials to build-essential [02:39] lsv: how about http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-0.9.4/madwifi-0.9.4-r4149-20110707.tar.gz [02:39] that's the latest [02:40] SIR_Taco: ok just a sec [02:47] it looks like everything went ok, no errors (just a few warnings) [02:47] warnings are usually ok [02:47] what should I do next? [02:47] you should be able to do "sudo modprobe ath_pci" [02:48] done [02:50] sudo lshw -C network shows that the card is still disabled and is using the hostap driver [02:53] a restart is likely required and yoy might want to blacklist the 5k and 9k drivers [02:54] just add blacklist 5k and blacklist 9k on the /something file [02:57] in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file [02:59] yes, there is likely one that is called "blacklist-ath_pci.conf" and you can add a # to the line that says "blacklist ath_pci" [03:00] SIR_Taco: ok thanks. I was wondering about that blacklist-ath_pci.conf file. [03:00] the old driver breaks the newer cards... and the newer driver breaks the older cards... they didn't seem to find a solution to that [03:02] computer is booting up [03:03] ok [03:05] I still can't connect :( [03:06] SIR_Taco: sudo lshw -C network still shows the card as disabled and using the hostap driver [03:08] this is an actual install or a VM? [03:08] actual install [03:09] and "sudo modprobe ath_pci" does nothing? [03:11] sudo modprobe ath_pci loaded ath_pci, wlan, ath_hal [03:13] lsv: that's good... it loaded the right drivers... [03:15] http://pastebin.com/CHQxAFu0 <- output form sudo lshw -C network, lsmod, and lspci | grep -i net [03:16] SIR_Taco: if you want any other output, just ask. [03:16] still cant connect? [03:17] no [03:17] the card is likely called ath0 [03:18] not wifi0 or eth0, if that helps [03:19] should I try sudo ip link set ath0 up? [03:20] or should I try removing the hostap drivers? [03:26] should be able to "sudo dhclient ath0" or if you have a complicated config, you can set i9t up with network manager, or the command line [03:28] ok let me check [03:31] sudo dhclient ath0 gave me an error saying: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device [03:31] hi emma [03:32] ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [03:32] lsv: and you're restarted since? [03:33] yes [03:34] you're typing from the computer? or it's another computer? [03:34] I don't know if this helps but when I removed the hostap_pci driver, iwconfig didn't find any wireless card [03:34] another computer [03:35] I'm on my laptop and the computer with the problems is a desktop [03:35] and the ath5k and ath9k drivers are blacklisted? [03:37] there was a typo in the blacklist, correction has been made. should I reboot? [03:38] I would, yes [03:39] ok, rebooting... === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [03:41] SIR_Taco: rebooted, and I did a sudo dhclient ath0, got the same error. [03:42] but you should have some sort of network secruity... WEP/WAP etc. [03:42] yes [03:43] WPA/WPA2 [03:46] and you set that up? [03:46] the security thing? yes [03:47] and it will not connect? [03:47] no [03:47] the card should be using the driver that was compiled right? [03:49] yes... you should be able to type in the konsole "lsmod | grep ath_pci" and get a result [03:52] I had to modprobe ath_pci first to get a result form lsmod | grep ath_pci. lspci -vv says: "Kernel driver in use: hostap_pci" [03:53] how can I change that? [03:54] lsv: what is currently using your lan drivers? [03:54] SIR_Taco: I don't understand the question. [03:54] what should I do to find out? [03:56] let me boot my laptop to find out definitively... [03:57] ok, thanks for helping me. I know I'm taking a big part of your day. [03:57] hello guys... is there any repository to install ubuntu one on kubuntu? [03:58] yes [03:58] "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [03:58] from the terminal [03:58] Then, "sudo dpkg -reconfigure kdm" [03:58] Or, "sudo dpkg -reconfigure gdm" [03:59] You have to pick GNOME when you login, though [03:59] Initially [03:59] lsv: just pass it along when you can, that's all that anyone around here asks [03:59] Squidy_at_Home: Got it? [03:59] sythe: ubuntu-desktop? I don't want to install gnome desktop here [03:59] :/ [04:00] only ubuntu one and the gtk libs needed [04:00] Ugh [04:00] You MUST install them both [04:00] Got it? [04:00] SIR_Taco: got it. I sometimes help with little things on the #ubuntu channel [04:00] You can't pick and choose, without going through hell, Squidy_at_Home [04:01] lsv: that's the way to do it [04:01] sythe: or just use dropbox.. =/ [04:02] Ok, Squidy_at_Home...you don't know what you're talking about [04:02] sythe: why not? [04:03] You can't pick and choose, without going through hell, Squidy_at_Home [04:03] Got it? [04:03] You MUST install them both [04:03] Got it? [04:03] ok [04:03] Good [04:06] anybody installed ubuntuone on kubuntu? [04:07] It comes with normal Ubuntu [04:07] You can also download the DEB [04:07] It should work perfectly [04:10] anyone suggest a method for transferring music to an ipod running linux? [04:14] redeyyez: If the ipod is running linux just copy them over like a Thumbdrive It will pick it up [04:15] the ipod is running its normal apple IOS [04:16] !ipod [04:16] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:16] handy, lol thanks. [04:17] yup '/msg ubottu topic' for others [04:17] I agree to the terms and services [04:17] iPod != cool [04:18] !RockBox [04:18] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [04:19] test [04:20] Cebu [04:39] this one is a long shot but...: I'm setting up a conky for my desktop and I've noticed that if I use images + conky transparency, the images are getting washed out [04:39] if I disable the transparency, the images are fine. So, does anyone have experience with this? [04:48] can you choose how much transparency? [04:48] try turning down that alpha channel some [05:49] hello [06:17] Hi [06:21] Hey, claydoh. === jayne_ is now known as jayne [06:22] Greetings, larva [06:23] :-) [06:23] * Daskreech waves [06:23] And greetings, Daskreech [06:24] -_- === submachine is now known as submachine_ [06:35] Anyone know how to compile a program file? [06:35] I was working with DarkwingDuck before I had a connection problem. [06:36] LINKSWORD2: not quite sure what you mean by 'compile a program file' [06:37] Just a moment. I can get the link for the file. [06:38] LINKSWORD2: gcc -Wall -o program_name source_files.c [06:38] :P well that's assuming it's C code he's trying to compile. === submachine_ is now known as submachine_daemo [06:39] ... I've no idea what that means. === submachine_daemo is now known as submachine_ [06:39] just tell us what you are trying to do, and a link by all means would help define what you are trying to do [06:39] does the file ends with .c [06:40] just find that link for us so we can tell you [06:40] LINKSWORD2: yeah what Kalidarn said [06:40] http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordmanager/files/PwManager STABLE/1.2.4/pwmanager-1.2.4.tar.bz2/download [06:40] oh so you are trying to compile a piece of software you found on the internet [06:40] well. [06:41] look at the readme, usually a good place to start [06:42] you may have trouble meeting those dependencies due to the fact it's old unmaintained software [06:42] Well, I asked DarkwingDuck about a password manager, and this is the one he recommended. [06:43] and it hasn't been ported to KDE4 [06:43] If this one won't work, I'd like to be notified of an alternative... [06:43] i usually just store mine in a text file (inside a truecrypt volume) [06:43] that way it's accessable on any OS [06:44] i think a lot of people use keepassx [06:44] keepassx? [06:44] which you wont need to compile because it's in the ubuntu repository [06:45] sudo apt-get install keepassx [06:45] pwmanager (the software you linked) hasn't been updated since 2005 [06:45] so i wouldn't use it :) [06:45] i also had a look at the readme, and it says it needs kdelibs 3.1 and qt3.1 [06:45] you'll have trouble meeting those dependencies to compile it. [06:46] it hasn't been updated to use the newer libraries [06:47] oh LINKSWORD2 you're back [06:47] I didn't know I'd left.... [06:47] looks like your internet dced on you. [06:47] <-- LINKSWORD2 has left this server (Read error: Connection reset by peer). [06:47] but yeah i'd use http://www.keepassx.org/screenshots/ [06:48] http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/keepassx especially as it's maintained, and in ubuntu's repository [06:51] This is going to take some learning... lol [06:51] just install it through kpackageit [06:51] or type "sudo apt-get install keepassx" [06:51] No, no... It's installed now. [06:52] ah [06:52] But I mean I'm going to have to learn how to use the program. lol [06:52] ya [06:52] that's why i just use a .TXT file in a truecrypt container [06:52] and probably more secure too :P [06:53] truecrypt? [06:53] http://www.truecrypt.org/ [06:53] pretty much the best encryption software === ocs is now known as faLUCE [06:54] Kalidarn: Hiding your porn in encrypted files again, are you? [06:54] lol [06:55] i don't have any actually [06:55] why bother saving it these days [06:55] LMAO! [06:56] I was kidding around with you. [06:56] But it sounds like you've got some demons to reconcile... [06:57] lol i know, and no i don't think i do. [06:57] i think that's obvious if you read what i said carefully. [06:59] LINKSWORD2: That's not appropriate for a family-friendly channel. [07:00] what rww said. [07:00] Sorry. Just a joke. [07:12] Ah. There's a good question.... [07:12] Anybody know what *FREE* software I can download via a torrent engine? [07:13] Kubuntu :3 [07:13] I know OpenOffice.org is one of them, but that's about all I know of, and with Kubuntu using LibreOffice, Open isn't needed. [07:13] ... Of course, Kubuntu. I forgot to mention that. [07:15] Odd. [07:15] Rekong isn't affected by the Alt+D command, to jump to the address bar... [07:16] And apparently, neither is Konqueror. [07:17] Is that keyboard shortcut just not programmed into those browsers? === root is now known as Guest3152 === Guest3152 is now known as Nevr3nd === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn === miguel is now known as Guest88319 === ocs is now known as faLUCE [09:29] where are keyboard settings? [09:29] my right shift key doesn't work, and neither of the control keys... [09:30] ah fixed it === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [09:31] Is there any way to get the calendar to sync with my GCal? [09:32] antihero: you can try "akonadi-kde-resource-googledata" [09:36] James147: Thank you fellow James. How pray I set it up once I've installed that? [09:38] Akonadi resources were removed from system settings because developers deemed users too stupid to set them up properly. You'll have to search for it. [09:38] :| [09:43] (Search in the KDE menu. I know, it's stupid) [09:47] eean: what was it? [09:48] needed a 104 key keyboard instead of 101 [09:48] just had to search for 'keyboard' in the launcher... why isn't it in system settings? [09:49] it isn't? [09:50] nope [09:50] hmmmm, Systemsettings -> Input devices [09:50] ...doesn't have keyboards [09:50] does have here [09:51] psh okay [09:51] eean: 11.04 with 4.7? [09:51] somehow I missed that [09:51] just upgraded to 4.7 that must be it... I'll pretend it wasn't there in 4.6 :) [09:52] (; [09:52] actually, back then it might have been somewhere else [09:52] and as the search of systemsettings is what it is... [09:53] Tm_T: nop, in 4.6 its in input devices :) [09:53] ssssh [09:56] grr, kontact wont open properly I get "Failed to fetch resource collection." [09:57] Yeah, I did the upgrade too. No kontact anymore. Crash, crash, crash. [10:18] ok I can't hold down a key for it to repeat [10:18] where is this setting? [10:18] history says it will be somewhere obvious that I missed ;) === sardu is now known as aplerose [10:25] gah sorry [10:25] so how do I get the keypress repeat settings right? [10:26] eean: in the keyboard settings ... [10:26] gah, well I see keyboard repeat but its already turned on [10:27] so there must be a problem [10:28] maybe it doesn't like that I changed my keyboard, will restart X later === s is now known as Guest5040 === delian66_ is now known as delian66 === bittin_ is now known as bittin` [11:13] I'm trying to setup dual monitors under the latest ubuntu/KDE. When I set up the monitors as I wish in systemsetting (or via xrandr), I get logged off and the monitors are reverted back to their default configuration (mirrored). How do I fix this? [11:14] lokai: Put your xrandr commands in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup [11:15] why won't it work when I directly input them in the commandline? === Bodia__ is now known as Bodia [11:23] lolcat: It should. [11:24] I'm trying to get dual monitor under the latest kde/ubuntu, and making the correct setting in systemsetting or xrandr forces a system logout, which restores the original configuration. How do I solve this? [11:26] As I just told you. You put the commands in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup. Another method is using /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:27] alvin, doing what you suggested just caused me to be locked out of the GUI part of my system, bro [11:27] had to ssh and revert back to the original xsetup [11:28] which isn't surprising when you think about how I described the problem, actually. [11:28] I'm sorry. Let me rephrase then: put the correct xrandr commands in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup :-) [11:28] If you test them using the command line and they don't work, they will not in Xsetup either. [11:29] k, is this wrong? xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of DVI1 [11:29] If you're using binary nvidia drivers, don't use xrandr. Use /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:29] Doesn't look wrong to me. [11:30] As long as your device names are correct. Just typing xrandr in an X terminal should tell you the possibilities that are detected. [11:30] ugh, but there is no more xorg.conf in latest release, is there? [11:30] By default everything is auto-detected, but you can still use the file. It works perfectly and is needed if you want to use nvidia's twinview. [11:32] lokai: if you have an nvidia card with the closed drivers installed then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and "kdesudo nvidia-settings" to configure the dualscreen [11:33] In LireOffice the tooltips have black background + black text color(Kubuntu 11.04+kde4.7 ppa). Is there a way to fix this? [11:33] eh, I'm using some integrated chip [11:34] lokai: .lspci | grep VGA [11:34] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [11:34] intel should work with xrandr :S [11:35] yep, I don't have any ideas. The device name are correct, btw [11:40] boom.. updating to kde 4.7 don't get forwar :( [11:40] d [11:40] Hello all [11:41] Hey BluesKaj [11:41] hi noaXess [11:41] i try to upgrade to kde 4.7 but update process still on 47% since 1 hour :( [11:42] current package.. libktorrent-l10n.. on another machine.. same problem.. current package there shared-desktop.onotologies [11:42] do i need break the process and to it over cmli? [11:42] command line [11:43] , what method , add ppa then upgrae [11:43] upgrade?
