| programming | Amarok is telling me that it cant find an "id3 plugin" for python | 02:09 |
| programming | but I have python-id3 installed and tried to fix it through amarok too, to no avail | 02:09 |
| programming | it's preventing me from playing music | 02:09 |
| programming | I don't think I can file a bug, because this was originally an xubuntu system, and I then installed kubuntu-desktop later on after purging xfce. | 02:10 |
| programming | any ideas on how to fix this? | 02:10 |
| programming | My main thought is to reinstall all the dependencies of amarok, or at least the python related ones. | 02:10 |

| Daskreech | hi kingh3mp What's the issue? | 02:42 |
| kingh3mp | things like youtube an face book barely run | 02:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: Can I fill you in on things via PM? | 02:43 |
| kingh3mp | ya | 02:44 |
| Daskreech | As in Flash works but it's horibly slow? | 02:44 |
| Daskreech | What's the architecture you are on? | 02:44 |
| Daskreech | 32 or 64 bit? | 02:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... Dang. Daskreech, you nailed it. | 02:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's an old HP laptop, 32-bit. | 02:45 |
| kingh3mp | ya laggy mouse white patches | 02:45 |
| Daskreech | well when you have a hammer.... | 02:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Pavilion DV1000. | 02:45 |
| Daskreech | how old? Flash10 is terribly CPU hungry? | 02:45 |
| kingh3mp | 6 years | 02:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | *Pokes Daskreech with a very sharp object.* | 02:45 |
| Daskreech | I'm on a 6 core 3.0 Ghz machine and my brother convinced me to install Flash yesterday. It's currently taking up 40% of my CPU | 02:46 |
| * Daskreech ignores C# objects | 02:46 | |
| kingh3mp | holy hanna | 02:46 |
| Daskreech | Yeah I'm quite upset with it. How fast is the CPU? | 02:46 |
| kingh3mp | idk | 02:46 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I did the initial install on kingh3mp's laptop for Kubuntu. | 02:47 |
| kingh3mp | i want a quad core dell laptop | 02:47 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It's a single-core 2.3 MHz Centrino. | 02:47 |
| * LINKSWORD2 agrees with kingh3mp* | 02:47 | |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm not 100% certain about the specifications, but I believe I'm pretty accurate. | 02:48 |
| kingh3mp | ya know if i had a home id have a massive desk top an wouldent have to ask stupid questions lol | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | kingh3mp: search in the programs for Kinfocenter | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | That will be able to show you what the processor configuration is. | 02:49 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Ah Centrino should be interesting. Intel really played roulette with those. | 02:49 |
| Daskreech | Perhaps it doesn't have media extensions? | 02:49 |
| LINKSWORD2 | We'll have to see what KInfoCenter says. | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: press alt+F2 and type kinfo | 02:50 |
| kingh3mp | i got it up | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: what's the flash for? | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | For youtube I just run them through mplayer | 02:50 |
| Daskreech | uses waaaaaay less CPU than flash though you do have to wait for it to download. | 02:51 |
| Daskreech | On the upside you can grab like 15 youtube videos at once | 02:51 |
| kingh3mp | 22% of physical memory used | 02:52 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Wow. That's putting a lot of demand on that HP.... | 02:53 |
| kingh3mp | intell pentium m processor 1.7 ghz max speed 1700 | 02:54 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Aha. | 02:55 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Wait, what?! It should be a Centrino or Centrino 2.... | 02:55 |
| * LINKSWORD2 shoot self.* | 02:55 | |
| kingh3mp | application data 42% of memory, disk cache 42% and 11% free space | 02:55 |
| kingh3mp | just a centrino | 02:56 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: hmm ok I used to run on a 1.2 Ghz T-Bird | 02:57 |
| Daskreech | Just gotta tune things down a little :) | 02:57 |
| Daskreech | what was the 22% of Memory for? | 02:57 |
| kingh3mp | ide bus 93.2 gib storage | 02:58 |
| kingh3mp | im just reading off everything | 02:58 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Hmm.... | 02:58 |
| LINKSWORD2 | !ksnapshot | kingh3mp | 02:58 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... I want to slap ubottu | 02:58 |
| kingh3mp | ? may i ask wat u been smokin link ? | 02:59 |
| kingh3mp | linksword2 i may stop tommarrow after i pick up the stuff i ordered | 03:00 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: He's not allowed to talk about that here :) | 03:00 |
| kingh3mp | oh lol | 03:01 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: After I slap ubottu, you're next. lol | 03:01 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: I suppose it would be too much to ask you to do a small screencast but could you perhaps take a screenshot of aa video runing? | 03:01 |
| kingh3mp | idk how to | 03:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | kingh3mp: in the programs menu, type in ksnapshot | 03:02 |
| kingh3mp | i got a pop p tat said youtube stopped working it lagged so bad | 03:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Or just use PrintScreen to snap a shot and save it. | 03:03 |
| U236Willy | yeah i can run youtube on a p4 1.4ghz | 03:03 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I've got a 2.66 GHz on this old Compaq desktop. | 03:04 |
| Daskreech | I'm probably going to bet the centrino doesn't have media extensions | 03:05 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Did you enable multiverse ? | 03:05 |
| kingh3mp | no media extensions | 03:05 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... What? | 03:05 |
| kingh3mp | * looks around for some explosives* | 03:06 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: How would those extensions be enabled? | 03:06 |
| LINKSWORD2 | kingh3mp: I told you to stop blowing stuff up.... | 03:06 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: By Intel. It's when they make the chip | 03:06 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: how did you install flash? through kubuntu-restricted extras ? | 03:07 |
| kingh3mp | theres an expansion pack 4 this thing | 03:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | System updates. | 03:07 |
| Daskreech | explosive expansion? isn't that redundant? | 03:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: I didn't install Flash, I don't think. | 03:07 |
| kingh3mp | but a few of the cords are missing an it weighs as much as a small tv | 03:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | D'oh! | 03:08 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: Lets attempt something. can you open a konsole? | 03:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | kingh3mp: You may not even have Flash installed. | 03:08 |
| kingh3mp | linksword2 u remember that gevy thing with the hp cord at my place | 03:08 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Yeah. But that's not what Daskreech is talking about. | 03:09 |
| kingh3mp | ok konsole open | 03:09 |
| kingh3mp | im gonna end up zaping my cat | 03:10 |

| U236Willy | ... I sure have to get a whole bunch of -dev files just to compile minitube. Anyone else find that it the 32-bit 1.3.? version in repositories doesn't work? | 04:07 |
| U236Willy | I have an 64bit quadcore (if that wasn't clear) and i can't get it work yet in linux mint or kubuntu... i'll try compiling. | 04:09 |
| U236Willy | hohoho minitube 1.5 does compile... now to make checkinstall | 04:30 |
| jmichaelx | U236Willy: had you tried to use the binary from getdeb? | 04:34 |
| U236Willy | no i didn't know there was one there... didn't think to look | 04:34 |
| U236Willy | and checkinstall says there's nothing to make but if i run the script in the build dir... it fires right up... I was kinda hoping to get a cute icon in the 'Multimedia' list... | 04:35 |
| U236Willy | so 1.5 works | 04:36 |
| jmichaelx | U236Willy: ok, i am using the one from getdeb, and it works just fine, although if you went through the trouble of compiling it, and it works, you might as well use your binary :-) | 04:36 |
| U236Willy | kinda strange to have to terminal to get it. | 04:36 |
| jmichaelx | U236Willy: had you tried a binary from somewhere else? | 04:36 |
| U236Willy | i tried the minitube from kpackage.... and it would load... show me the thumbnails of videos but never play them... just sat there. | 04:37 |
| jmichaelx | ahh, what version of minitube was in the repositories? | 04:38 |
| U236Willy | 1.3... something | 04:38 |
| jmichaelx | i know that i had a lot of problems with some of the earlier versions.... i think 1.5 is finally sort of usable for me | 04:39 |
| jmichaelx | also on 64-bit, btw | 04:39 |
| U236Willy | gotcha | 04:40 |
| U236Willy | i laughed when d/ling all the -dev(s) it was something like 100+mb d/l of which the qt-docs was like 92mb (that was a good chuckle) | 04:41 |
| jmichaelx | lol | 04:41 |
| U236Willy | welp i'm happy it works.. | 04:41 |
| jmichaelx | good deal | 04:42 |
| jmichaelx | maybe you can manually add an entry to the menu? | 04:42 |
| U236Willy | did the getdeb vers. go into your App list for 'Multimedia'? because if so... I might scrap this since it makes itself in that directory without plugging in.. | 04:43 |
| jmichaelx | U236Willy: yes, i have an entry for minitube, under multimedia | 04:44 |
| U236Willy | hmmm | 04:44 |
| U236Willy | i'll try it keep the one compiled in my home/src and see. | 04:44 |
| DarkriftX | anyone know when *buntu is going to get the 3.x kernel? | 04:50 |

| avihay | mmm, anyone know of a good package or article about how to box WINE in a different user in order to run software suspect of containing maleware safely? | 08:37 |
| Tm_T | avihay: no idea, but I would assume virtual machines would be the way | 08:42 |
| avihay | ya..., but virtual machine means running another copy of an OS, and that's kinda redundant, or so I think. | 08:44 |
| James147 | avihay: wine dosent play well with virsus.. :) so its generally safe though not recomended... the best way to run malware safly is to do it inside a vm | 09:03 |
| * James147 remembers http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/42031 :) | 09:04 | |
| James147 | ^^ and by safe i mean not very :) | 09:05 |
| masterdesa | mahlzeit zusammen:-) | 09:07 |
| avihay | ya, I've read that, but, wine has gone a long way since then, still, as a different user, you can't (or souldn't be able to) effect the system or other users files | 09:07 |
| James147 | avihay: even better would be to use a chroot envroment | 09:12 |

| holocaust84 | Hi peeps, recently switched from ubuntu to kubuntu, love KDE so far, having some trouble getting used to the new programs though, on ubuntu I was using deja for backups, on KDE it's Nepomuk and I'm pretty much clueless with this app! Ideally I'd like to set up a RAID1 (I have 2 1TB HDD's, linux on one, other is blank, formatted ext4) | 12:50 |
| === magician is now known as magician_ | ||
| magician_ | hi | 12:52 |
| holocaust84 | Greetings IRC traveler | 12:53 |
| James147 | holocaust84: nepomuk is not a backup tool ^^ | 12:53 |
| James147 | and RAID1 is not a backup solution | 12:54 |
| James147 | holocaust84: luckybackup is a nice kde frontend to rsync and useful for creating backups | 12:54 |
| magician_ | chiko chiko | 12:55 |
| holocaust84 | Nepomuk is indeed a backup tool, I'm staring at it right now, and it's asking me various questions about backing up my drives lol... I was told RAID0 turns both HDD's into one big one, and RAID1 mirrors one to the other so if one fails, you can retreive from the other? | 12:55 |
| James147 | holocaust84: its not a backup tool is a meta data/indexer ... it has a tool that can back up ITS database but nothing else | 12:56 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Ahh I see :) Well thanks for the suggestion I'll have a look at the program luckybackup | 12:56 |
| James147 | holocaust84: yes, raid1 will mirror the disks... but dont rely on it as a backup tool as it wont protect you form the most common error... the user :) | 12:56 |
| holocaust84 | James147: This is very true... I just had to reinstall Kubuntu 11.04 this morning because of some changes I made last night, Windows were opening locked into one place, would not quit, close, minimize, and rekonq was opening from boot on fullscreen and again would not close. I have no idea how I made those things happen, so I am dangerous as you say | 12:58 |
| holocaust84 | James147: ergo I want to make sure I have secure backups in place before I start altering the "out of the box" feel to kubuntu | 12:59 |
| James147 | holocaust84: quite a few probles can be solved by resetting the users configes rather then reinstalling... its normally worth trying before doing a complete reinstall (creating a enw user the the quiest way to test if it is the user configs) | 13:00 |
| James147 | holocaust84: also, if you want RAID1 then you should set that up before installing kubuntu | 13:01 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Everything was locked down, couldn't log out (tried hot key combo's etc) | 13:01 |
| James147 | holocaust84: even alt+crtl+F1? | 13:01 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Pretty sure I tried that, it was late though so I just gave up, and as I'd only installed yesterday it was no problem to wipe the slate clean, but now I want to make sure I've got a secure backup before making alterations. | 13:02 |
| * James147 wonders about doing "cd / && git init &&..." :) | 13:03 | |
| holocaust84 | James147: The program you recommended, is it available in kpackagekit? :) | 13:04 |
| James147 | should by | 13:04 |
| James147 | be | 13:04 |
| holocaust84 | Cheers | 13:04 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Yes this is exactly the kind of program I was looking for, thanks :) ... However I think I was hasty with installing as the default partitions from the installer are not as I would like >.< | 13:16 |
| James147 | holocaust84: if you know how you want the partitions why let the installer do them automatically? | 13:17 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Early morning pre-coffee mentality I guess, we live and learn lol. The installation I did yesterday I selected the option on the right (forgot the name, but it's guided and allows for easy resizing of partitions), this morning I chose the option on the left and told it to use the whole drive. Ideally I want 20gb for / and I'll put the /home partition on my second HDD, and with 16gb SDDR3, do I even need | 13:20 |
| holocaust84 | to make a /swap ? | 13:20 |
| James147 | holocaust84: not unless you want to hybernate | 13:21 |
| James147 | or regularly use 16gigs of ram :p | 13:21 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Okay thanks, I don't ever use hibernate, and I can't recall ever going over about 45% of physical memory lol (I just had a lot of spare memory) :p | 13:22 |
| James147 | holocaust84: more memory is always good... lets you ahve more disk cache :) and allows you to use more space for ramdisks :D which are always fun | 13:23 |
| holocaust84 | James147: Thanks for the info buddy, I would attempt to move the /home partition etc but as it's a clean install it's probably going to be easier to just reinstall with correct partitions, so I shall head off and do just that ^_^ | 13:25 |
| James147 | ^^ if you want raid then I would look into setting that up as well before you reinstall | 13:26 |
| holocaust84 | I was told I could do it post-installation, "fakeraid" ? | 13:28 |
| James147 | holocaust84: not with fakeraid... but dont use fakeraid it has terrible linux support | 13:29 |
| onebitX | hi to all | 13:30 |
| James147 | (notes that fakeraid is set in the bios and handles the disks on the cpu untill the os can take over) | 13:30 |
| James147 | holocaust84: software raid can be set up before or after installation... though if you want the os inside the raid then its easier to do it before | 13:30 |
| onebitX | i installed kvpn i import all files | 13:32 |
| holocaust84 | James147: thanks once again, will have a read, I may just leave the RAID out of the game altogether and just put /home on sdb withthe actual system on sda | 13:32 |
| onebitX | but when i press connect he don't connect | 13:32 |
| James147 | holocaust84: software raid isnt hard to setup... and there are plently of guides to show you how :) | 13:32 |
| James147 | most show you as part of the installtion process as that generally when you set it up :) | 13:33 |

| James147 | soee: you can make it load the editable bar by default by editing its settings | 13:54 |

| soee | James147, got it just had to check show full path :D on right click | 13:55 |
| * James147 notes thats the location bar not the menu bar ^^ | 13:56 | |
| James147 | :) | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | bread crumb menu ? | 13:56 |
| steveire | Is it possible for me to install a particular version of a package from the command line? | 13:57 |
| soee | BluesKaj, breadcrumb is like => home / soee / documents | 13:57 |
| James147 | steveire: if you ahve the .deb for that version | 13:57 |
| steveire | The problem is the packages are completely messed up http://paste.kde.org/109711/ | 13:58 |
| steveire | The dependency resolver is trying to install new versions of the libraries but not the applications | 13:58 |
| steveire | I need to force it somehow, and apt-get -f instll doesn't do so | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | like? it is or it isn't soee ...I just add dolphin to the panel | 13:58 |
| James147 | steveire: you run an update? | 13:59 |

| BluesKaj | soee, ok , I think i get it , but history works for me :) | 14:05 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: its not history, but where you are currently located | 14:06 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: makes it easier to move up one or more directories | 14:06 |
| soee | it basicly create path from root direcotrey to where you are | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | soee, interesting but why , i see root in dolphin places , one click away ...obviously I'm missing the point :) | 14:11 |
| onebitX | BluesKaj: i am not using tor with vpn :( | 14:11 |
| onebitX | this is the first connection | 14:11 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: because it can take you anywhere between the root and where you are | 14:11 |
| soee | BluesKaj, if you are here: home/me/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/ and you want to switch to dir2 | 14:12 |
| soee | you can click link in breadcrumb an thats all | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | so where's the breadcrumb in dolphin ? | 14:13 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: its the location bar when its nor in editable mode | 14:13 |
| soee | BluesKaj, http://soee.pl/kde/screen/breadcrumb.png | 14:15 |

| * BluesKaj shakes his thick head ...still don't see the point | 14:19 | |

| szal | BluesKaj: are you still on Oneiric? | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | szal, yes | 14:22 |
| szal | BluesKaj: what UI font do you use? | 14:22 |
| James147 | BluesKaj: do "go > up | go > up" rather then "parentdir" | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | szal, I use fresans | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | err freesans | 14:23 |
| szal | BluesKaj: *urgh* ;) | 14:23 |
| szal | BluesKaj: I was wondering, if you use the Ubuntu font, is the correct weight used? they introduced a 'Medium' weight for Oneiric, and at least on Natty KDE uses that rather than 'Regular' | 14:24 |
| szal | when set to Regular, that is | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | szal, i like it better than ubuntu default , .. I'm using a large screen monitor (my 42" plasma tv) so the fonts ahave to look good from 3M away | 14:25 |
| soee | droid = best font ever :) | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | the ubuntu regular font looks like old default fonts from kde 3 , szal | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | thicck heavy and ugly IMO | 14:27 |
| szal | BluesKaj: it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing font, but it's very well readable imho | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | szal, if you run an app as root from the run command or the terminal the default font is still ubuntu regular unless you change it | 14:28 |
| szal | anyhoo, my question was, does KDE there use the Medium weight, which is almost as heavy as Bold, or the Regular weight? | 14:29 |
| alvin | Yes, all typesetters in my office are unanymous: it's ugly and not well fit for a screen. I have to set the defaults back for everyone. Unfortunately, some things make the font go back to the Ubuntu font. Don't know why yet. | 14:29 |

| BluesKaj | alvin, when you run apps that require root permissions , the default is ubuntu | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu font that is | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | it can be changed on some apps , if the option is available | 14:35 |
| alvin | I've noticed that, but sometimes the other applications start using the Ubuntu font after I ran a program as root. I'll file a bug about it someday. | 14:36 |

| el_monkeyman | Hi everyone, this question is addressed to anyone devellopping Kubuntu. I'm still at KDE4.4 and I wanted to update to KDE4.7, how stable would the Kubuntu Oneiric be at Beta? Usually, I don't usually expect stability from beta but in this case, Kubuntu is based off of KDE 4.7.0 which is already done with all it's testing and the final release has been already since the end of July. Besides the desktop environment, I pretty much | 16:15 |
| el_monkeyman | install my own packages, so I would not expect to run into any problems installing Oneiric Beta as my daily driver. Is there any other consideration that I should be aware of?? | 16:15 |
| James147 | el_monkeyman: why not upgrade to natty and install the backport ppas? if all you want is 4.7 | 16:24 |
| MasBlaMan99 | hi | 16:24 |
| MasBlaMan99 | smal question any krusader users here? | 16:24 |
| James147 | !anyone | MasBlaMan99 | 16:25 |
| ubottu | MasBlaMan99: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 16:25 |
| MasBlaMan99 | any way to find duplicate files? | 16:25 |
| MasBlaMan99 | not a directory compare but to search the entire disk | 16:26 |
| el_monkeyman | james147: that is a good idea and I would do that if I see that the Beta is not an option but I would rather start with a clean install of 4.7.0 instead of have to start with 4.6.x and update over it. Also, if I use Oneiric as my release, I could upgrade later on to 4.8 | 16:29 |
| James147 | el_monkeyman: upgradeing natty would be the more stable solution ^^ plus you can always do a "clean" install once oneiric comes out... but if you want to try the beta then go a head but i suggest you try dual booting it first so you at least have a fallback option :) | 16:31 |
| el_monkeyman | you | 16:31 |
| el_monkeyman | James147: you are probably right about this. thanks for your advice! | 16:32 |
| James147 | el_monkeyman: also consider joining #ubuntu+1 if you are intrested in running the beta | 16:33 |
| Daskreech | el_monkeyman: The beta relies on a lot more things than just KDE | 16:33 |
| el_monkeyman | Ah, I see. Like drivers and libraries and stuff like that? | 16:34 |

| programming | This may be a stupid question, but I lost the window list on my panel in KDE. I can't find it in the widgets. I can find a window list, but I'm looking for the taskbar style one with the buttons. | 19:18 |
| tsimpson | it's called "Task Manager" | 19:19 |
| SIR_Taco | programming: 'taskmanager' is what you're looking for | 19:19 |
| programming | tsimpson, SIR_Taco: thank you | 19:19 |
| SIR_Taco | tsimpson: too quick for me... I'll go back to sleep haha | 19:20 |
| tsimpson | I must admit, it can be easy to miss the widgets the way they are currently displayed | 19:20 |
| programming | there are too many in the default view | 19:20 |
| programming | i think a rating system could help | 19:20 |
| tsimpson | I prefer the older "window with a list of widgets" way | 19:21 |
| SIR_Taco | that's very true... I guess that's why they added the catagories | 19:21 |
| programming | Now that gnome2 is condemned, KDE4 seems like the only good choice. | 19:22 |

| tsimpson | considering you're in #kubuntu, you'll get no argument here :) | 19:24 |
| DarkriftX | lol | 19:24 |
| programming | not looking for argument, i am certain i am right ;D | 19:24 |
| programming | i heard win7 copied features, like the drag window to top to maximize etc | 19:25 |
| programming | drag to side to place on side | 19:25 |
| DarkriftX | they all copy from eachother | 19:25 |
| programming | such obvious awesome features | 19:25 |
| DarkriftX | im sure lots of stuff from kde is from windows and mac | 19:25 |
| DarkriftX | and vice versa | 19:25 |
| programming | why didn't we think of them in 1995 | 19:25 |
| DarkriftX | what matters is what features you want being in the DE that you want | 19:25 |
| tsimpson | well sometimes Windows copies features from the open-source world, and sometimes the open-source world copies ideas from the Windows world | 19:26 |
| DarkriftX | I hate windows, but I like some features from windows (such as the taskbar layout) | 19:26 |
| SIR_Taco | as much as I prefer using Linux, I must admit that I do like Win7... they took a step-back and realized a lot of their mistakes and fixed most of them (kind of like ME-XP) | 19:28 |

| SIR_Taco | now down? | 19:31 |
| kingh3mp | lol | 19:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | So kingh3mp, what was that problem? | 19:31 |
| kingh3mp | im gonna kill my hp | 19:31 |
| kingh3mp | its glitchy in you tube and my games | 19:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I told you, you didn't need Microsoft anymore! | 19:32 |
| SIR_Taco | HP..... | 19:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | We saved it. With Linux! :D | 19:32 |
| kingh3mp | im gonna run another test now i got a media player | 19:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm back? Didn't know I left. | 19:35 |
| kingh3mp | any one got some c7 i can use on my hp | 19:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | kingh3mp: I told you not to do that. | 19:36 |
| kingh3mp | brb | 19:36 |
| Daskreech | programming: incorrect. Windows showed those features first. But they turned up two weeks later in all the Linux WM who cared less about efficiency | 19:39 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: aboit *backing up* we talked about last year (sorry, i was away in business). i spent some time today comparing features and my final bet for a frontend, for rsync, with useful features is backuppc and gadmin-rsync (this one easyer) Both in our repos. | 19:40 |
| lcb | aboit/out | 19:40 |
| programming | Daskreech: oh | 19:40 |
| programming | Daskreech: i love this feature | 19:40 |
| lcb | hi LINKSWORD2. how's TTY and you? | 19:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... TTY? I'm not sure I understand you, lcb | 19:42 |
| LINKSWORD2 | We're having some problems with kingh3mp's laptop. | 19:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It is acting bizarrely slow, with flash-based games online, to the degree that they simply do not come up. | 19:43 |
| Daskreech | programming: It's great eh? The Linux implementation is quite a bit better than Windows though | 19:43 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Of course, Daskreech. | 19:43 |
| Daskreech | There are anumber of Windows implementations that are better than Linux | 19:44 |
| programming | If only x-tile understood multiple monitors | 19:44 |
| programming | I would be really happy | 19:44 |
| Daskreech | thumbnails on the taskbar hover for instance | 19:44 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: thanks, good to know, I'll check them out. greatly appreciated | 19:44 |
| programming | I could implement it, but I don't have the time atm | 19:44 |
| kingh3mp | dang thing wont operate on a 1 bar signal | 19:47 |
| SIR_Taco | ok LINKSWORD2 what's the issue? | 19:47 |
| SIR_Taco | sorry, missed it initially haha.... any idea on the video card? network connection? Kubuntu version? Browser? Flash version? | 19:48 |
| kingh3mp | screw this thing | 19:48 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: doesn't seem that kingh3mp wants any help | 19:49 |
| lcb | LINKSWORD2: sorry, i were thinking on Linkmaster, the guy who plays with TTY backdoor entrances :) | 19:49 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: I get the two confused all the time haha | 19:50 |
| lcb | :) | 19:50 |
| kingh3mp | im sorry bout this but nothing is working | 19:50 |
| SIR_Taco | IRC is working :) | 19:50 |
| kingh3mp | later | 19:51 |
| lcb | oh | 19:51 |
| lcb | ah i see. "<kingh3mp> im gonna kill my hp" | 19:52 |
| lcb | when we kill things others might not survive | 19:53 |
| SIR_Taco | some people just don't appreciate my humour lol | 19:54 |
| LINKSWORD2 | That was humor? You scared him off. | 19:54 |
| lcb | too technical, probably "IRC is working" :p | 19:54 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 19:54 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Well, we want to get his laptop properly working. | 19:55 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm sure the problem is based in Flash, but I'm not sure exactly what it could be. | 19:55 |
| SIR_Taco | well sorry LINKSWORD2... but something like "I need help with printer... stupid thing doesn't work" what printer? "it's stupid" ok, but what printer and what version are you running? "stupid version of stupid printer" just doesn't give enough info to help lol | 19:55 |
| lcb | maybe got too hot on his lap - top :) | 19:56 |
| LINKSWORD2 | SIR_Taco: It's an HP Pavilion DV1000 that we've recently killed Windows from and installed Kubuntu. | 19:56 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: that's what we needed to know | 19:57 |
| LINKSWORD2 | We've tried to load his games, Flash-based, on a number of browsers, and they're not loading. | 19:57 |
| lcb | usually because ppl install everything that says "java" | 19:57 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: any idea if he's using the Intel drivers? | 19:58 |
| lcb | the default one works fine - or the original one, sun's java | 19:58 |
| SIR_Taco | and from the specs, there is no integrated wireless... is he just having connection problem? | 19:59 |
| LINKSWORD2 | His does have integrated wireless. | 19:59 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: trying to have an excuse from him "disconnecting" from IRC? | 20:00 |
| lcb | hehehe | 20:00 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: maybe..... lol | 20:00 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I know the guy. lol | 20:00 |
| LINKSWORD2 | He said he was fed up with things not properly working, and disconnected. | 20:00 |
| lcb | just a dad hair day | 20:00 |
| lcb | bad | 20:00 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: has he updated his software? | 20:00 |
| LINKSWORD2 | SIR_Taco: To which software do you refer? | 20:01 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: I mean everything (like sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or the GUI equivalent) | 20:01 |
| === peer is now known as Guest58287 | ||
| LINKSWORD2 | .... Oops. | 20:02 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: what happens when his "flash game doesn't work"? Does it say "you need a plugin"? Does it stall or crash? | 20:02 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Just a moment. I'll have to ask. | 20:03 |
| SIR_Taco | Is he using Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Konq, etc.? | 20:03 |
| LINKSWORD2 | We've tried Rekong, Konqueror and Chrome. | 20:04 |
| SIR_Taco | I'd like to solve the guy's problem, but guessing is just pointless | 20:05 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Any ideas in particular, SIR_Taco? | 20:05 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: ok, but is there an error? is the spot where the flash game should go blank? does the page not load? does the browser crash/freeze? | 20:06 |
| === tjones is now known as kingh3mp | ||
| kingh3mp | hi | 20:07 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: does he have "flashplugin-installer" installed? | 20:07 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm guessing not. How would we get that? | 20:08 |
| SIR_Taco | you can use the package manager, or open konsole (ALT-F2 and type 'konsole') and type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 20:08 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Didn't I install flash last night for him? | 20:09 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: Not sure. | 20:10 |
| alejandro | ola | 20:10 |
| Daskreech | [Sunday, August 14, 2011] [23:13:03] <Daskreech> kingh3mp: ok type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer mplayer youtube-dl | 20:10 |
| Daskreech | alejandro: Hello | 20:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: I think you had him install MPlayer. | 20:10 |
| alejandro | hello | 20:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Yep. lol | 20:10 |
| alejandro | que pedo que es esto | 20:11 |

| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: You're too fast for me. lol | 20:11 |
| SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: I really can't help you until you give some sort of feedback on what's going on | 20:11 |
| Daskreech | alejandro: y #kubuntu-es | 20:11 |
| kingh3mp | im testing things | 20:11 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: kingh3mp and I are sitting side-by-side in my "office" with his computer and mine. | 20:12 |
| LINKSWORD2 | His computer just stops loading flash-based pages. | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:13 |

| LINKSWORD2 | I'd forgotten about that, BluesKaj | 20:14 |
| LINKSWORD2 | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras ??? | 20:15 |
| lcb | ubuntu-rest* | 20:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... Excuse me? | 20:15 |
| yoyo | yes LINKSWORD2 | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, yes | 20:16 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Thanks, yoyo & BluesKaj | 20:17 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, np | 20:17 |
| lcb | how nice, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras. i don't remember to install it | 20:17 |
| lcb | now, installed kubuntu-rest* and didn't remove the other one | 20:18 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol @ lcb | 20:18 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: often you are asked with the latest upon install, or when you run into a wall like this, to install restricted extras | 20:18 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: strange didn't remove the previous though | 20:19 |
| Daskreech | lcb: They have some cross packages but should not interfere with each other | 20:19 |
| SIR_Taco | yea, I can't see there being a problem.... they aren't DE dependant usually | 20:19 |
| lcb | hope not, or i'll kill RE (restricted-extras) like kingh3mp did with his HP | 20:20 |
| kingh3mp | oooooooh...... green things | 20:20 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: haha | 20:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | After installing the restricted extras, is it recommended to restart the computer? | 20:20 |
| Daskreech | kingh3mp: blotchy squares? | 20:20 |
| BluesKaj | lcb, they both use the same libs/codecs etc anway | 20:20 |
| kingh3mp | letters | 20:20 |
| lcb | kingh3mp: that's nuclear waste, those green thingys | 20:20 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: logout and back in is the highest requirement | 20:20 |
| kingh3mp | saying its working | 20:20 |
| BluesKaj | LINKSWORD2, shouldn't need to | 20:21 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Konsole is customized as black with green text. That's what he's talking about. | 20:21 |
| lcb | BluesKaj: tks :) | 20:21 |
| SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: excellent, patience is a virtue | 20:21 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Though you don't need to do that for restricted-extras. Possibly close the browser and reopen | 20:21 |
| lcb | lol LINKSWORD2 | 20:21 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: I rocked that so hard for a long time after Matrix :) | 20:21 |
| SIR_Taco | Daskreech: haha | 20:22 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: NICE!!! | 20:22 |
| kingh3mp | im waiting to see 666 | 20:22 |

| SIR_Taco | 20:24 | |
| kingh3mp | the devil lives in my hp | 20:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Green & black? :P | 20:24 |
| SIR_Taco | seems like a good place to hide | 20:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | SIR_Taco: I want a taco! | 20:24 |
| SIR_Taco | LINKSWORD2: go get one | 20:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | .... Nevermind. | 20:25 |
| SIR_Taco | You're welcome and whatever | 20:26 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: you own Bell :) | 20:27 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco is SIR_Taco!~quassel@*dsl.BELL.ca (PSW) | 20:28 |
| LINKSWORD2 | lol | 20:28 |

| kingh3mp | i back | 20:28 |
| kingh3mp | testing | 20:28 |
| lcb | up? | 20:28 |
| lcb | ah | 20:28 |
| LINKSWORD2 | He's pretty good with spelling, when he puts some effort into it. | 20:29 |
| SIR_Taco | great | 20:29 |
| kingh3mp | dont make me hurt you link | 20:30 |

| SIR_Taco | kingh3mp: so? did it work? | 20:33 |
| lcb | still in aplha stage, i think :o | 20:34 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Test: Youtube is working. | 20:34 |
| lcb | grr alpha | 20:34 |
| SIR_Taco | if youtube works, the rest should as well | 20:34 |
| lcb | IRC stopped wotking. That SIR_Taco wireless issue | 20:34 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: yes... it seems I can disconnect wireless with thoughts and words haha | 20:35 |
| lcb | :) | 20:36 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb's connection will go down in... 3.... 2... 1.... | 20:38 |
| SIR_Taco | hmm... doesn't work for everyone I guess haha | 20:38 |
| SIR_Taco | so much for my dreams of becoming a super-weapon on our Canadian war canoes lol | 20:39 |
| lcb | i decided to stop Nepomuk. no fun to see the fun working 24/7 | 20:40 |
| lcb | not useful anyway (for me) | 20:40 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: after the inital indexing, it doesn't do a whole lot unless a files is changed. | 20:42 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: now i saw your /msg. you are taking lessons from Linkmaster TTYs engineering | 20:42 |
| SIR_Taco | haha | 20:43 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: check your memory loading and see how much Nepomuk eats | 20:43 |
| SIR_Taco | lcb: but you can change the amount it eats | 20:44 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: i just cut it's food, for good | 20:44 |
| SIR_Taco | if I add them all up, it's about 20megs | 20:44 |
| lcb | its | 20:44 |
| SIR_Taco | well maybe closer to 30 with akondai in there | 20:45 |
| lcb | talking about that, i love that small tool "Everything" for windows. does the job and do not eat a lot of resources | 20:45 |
| SIR_Taco | never heard of it, but it probably pulls from the NTFS index | 20:46 |
| lcb | and it's FREE. get one until lasts. great to have on win virtual machines | 20:47 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: http://www.voidtools.com/ | 20:47 |
| lcb | too bad i have one win 7 VM just because there are no good enough apps for scanners in linux | 20:48 |
| SIR_Taco | hmm... the whole point of NTFS was an indexing FS, so that searches should take less time, but writes take longer (relatively, still quick as far as the user is concerned) | 20:51 |
| === claudio is now known as Guest64151 | ||
| lcb | Wine and water goes well but not with everything. Either way i'm going to test "Everything" in my Wine | 20:52 |
| SIR_Taco | just does it a little more efficiently than the MS implementation | 20:52 |
| lcb | SIR_Taco: try it. you'ld be amazed how fast that thing is | 20:52 |
| tjones | my laptop is assymilating | 20:54 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Resistance is futile. | 20:55 |
| SIR_Taco | I don't use search in windows enough to try it, but I'll take your word for it | 20:55 |
| lcb | assimilating? like the conversion of absorbed food into the substance of the body? | 20:56 |
| Daskreech | SIR_Taco: probably because it's not running the same safety checks as Windows does | 20:56 |
| lcb | tjones: how's that? | 20:56 |
| tjones | no like surrendering to being probed | 20:56 |
