punealso, i see it is wanting to use /dev/sdX1.  so it will use a partition?  can i just make 2 partitions on the drive and let it use 1 of them for the startup disk?01:17

valoriealso http://www.linuxtoday.com/news/2011041600241OPSW01:24
valoriethat I'm not sure01:24
punehmm.  i see that the ubuntu startup disk creator made the entire partition 1 huge FAT32 filesystem.  i guess that would exploit the 4.0GB limit for storage.  it must be putting them all inside 1 container file in the filesystem01:25

punekudos to whoever invented this thing01:35
ssfdre38what is the default sda is for kubuntu?01:35
ssfdre38is it sda4?01:36
puneim not too fond of the 4GB limit to save data.  but its still better than the 0GB you get with a liveCD01:36
shane2perudoes anyone know how I can see and control my desktop from another computer on my LAN?  I know there are programs that exist for this, but I don't have a clue about them.01:39
ssfdre38teaeviewer01:40
ssfdre38teamviewer*01:40
shane2perussfdre38: is it pretty easy to use and setup?01:40
punekrdc and krfb01:40
puneone of them is the server and one of them is the client01:41
punethey both have a noob-friendly GUI01:41
shane2peruteamviewer seems to be a windows app, thanks pune01:41
puneteamviewer runs on linux01:41
ssfdre38i have it installed already im just wondering cause im installing another distro and i have 2 partitons and i dont want to delete kubuntu01:41
shane2peruunder wine?01:42
puneno, natively01:42
ssfdre38you can get the .deb pkg of teamviewer01:42
punehttp://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx01:42
shane2peruohh, ok01:42
punebut i still reccommend krdc and krfb01:42
shane2perunow, which would probably be easier?  krdc, and krfb01:43
puneif you are using wireless, you want to use medium setting.  high resolution lags a little bit01:44
puneif both computers are connected to ethernet, you can use the high res settings01:44
shane2peruok, thanks pune01:44
shane2perukrdc is the client01:44
punethe only issue ive had with them is when sharing from a computer with 2 monitors and 1 huge desktop.  it tries to share the entire desktop with the other computer.  so when i do it on my laptop, its a bit odd trying to manage 2 desktops on the 1 screen01:46
shane2perupune: glad you mentioned that!  That is my exact setup01:46
shane2peruI didn't even think of that.01:46
puneif you have the dual monitor setup to use separate x-servers, then you dont get the issue01:47
shane2peruI do a lot of ssh, and even ssh -X but, sometimes that doesn't do it all.01:47
shane2peruhmm, I'm not sure how I have it setup, one desktop, across two screens01:47
puneif you can drag a window from one of them to the other, its the same x-server01:48
shane2peruright, I can do that.01:48
punedifferent x-servers gives you different task bars and a clock and widgets and everything on each screen01:48
ssfdre38what is the command to see what the current partition is?01:48
shane2perussfdre38: sudo fdisk -l01:48
shane2perussfdre38: oh, wait, that shows you all the partitions01:49
punealso, i like the server that comes with ubuntu a little bit better than krfb01:49
shane2perussfdre38: and then mount will show you what is mounted where.01:49
ssfdre38im just trying to figure out my current partition01:49
shane2peruif you know what it is mounted under (the location or name) then:  mount01:50
puneit runs more in the background all the time.  krfb is more like a 1 time at a time thing.  it doesnt start and run in the background01:50
ssfdre38i found it im just trying find out to install Fedora as a second OS for testing01:51
shane2perupune, what server?01:51
puneim not sure,  i think it was already installed in ubuntu 10.04.  i might have gotten it from the repos01:51
shane2peruand you can see your desktop without the krdc?01:52
punei have to use krdc ( or some other client ).  but i dont have to manually start the server01:52
puneif you use krfb, you have to manually start it up in order for clients to connect01:53
shane2perusometimes I have apps running on my desktop, say like tomboy, and I don't want to tinker around with ssh, and copy stuff I just want to look at my desktop, click on the icon by the clock, and run that app that is already running on my desktop and see a note or something01:53
shane2peruOooh, I see, I thought they were one and the same program, server, and client type deal01:54
shane2perulike openssh server and client01:54
punethis is the server i used on ubuntu01:54
punehttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html01:54
shane2peruahh, a link!  Thanks!!! ;)01:55
punethen, while that is running on the ubuntu computer, i fired up krdc on my laptop and i can control my desktop01:56

ssfdre38LVM203:46
SIR_Tacohave you backed up the information on the partitions you don't wish to remove?03:46
ssfdre38its empty03:46
SIR_Tacoall the partitions on the disk(s) are empty?03:48
ssfdre38yea03:48
ssfdre38well i was trying to install Fedora on its own partition03:49
SIR_Tacohave you tried cfdisk?03:49
ssfdre38dont really know how to use it03:50
SIR_Tacossfdre38: it's not too complex... but if you have physical access to the machine, you could make a Gparted liveCD and just boot from the disc, and change the partitions that way (it's all GUI driven)03:51

SubCoolssfdre38, gparted the partition and delete it. How are you goign to merge the remaining space? Extend an active partition?03:56
ssfdre38yea03:56
ssfdre38i was trying to install Fedora on my computer as a second OS to test it03:57
SIR_Tacossfdre38: the easy way, is get the Gparted CD, or you can use the KDE Partition manager if you have it installed, format the partition, and resize if needed... just be warry that it could mess up the drive03:59
ssfdre38i already backed up my home dir03:59
SIR_Tacossfdre38: both options are graphical, so you can see what you're doing, but I suggest checking and double checking to make sure you're not removing a partition you need04:01
ssfdre38i made sure04:02
SIR_TacoSubCool: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/04:02
SubCoolSIR_Taco, thanks, tried that one already04:02
ssfdre38SubCool, why not just reformat that virus i mean windows04:03
SIR_TacoSubCool: do you know what harddrive and which partition your boot directory is on? (ie your linux partition)04:03
SubCoolits my moms computer, and- um. SIR_Taco i thought i did, but everything seems to be really screweed up. still waiting on the system to boot..04:10
SIR_Tacothe reason I ask is because of the commands on that page.... if your linux partition is the 1st drive and the 1st parition then (hd0,0) is right... if it's first drive and 2nd partition it would be (hd0,1), etc.04:13
SubCoolSIR_Taco, ya- i ran into that major is.. running GRUB, it error'd when i did setup (hd0)04:14
SubCoolI ran into that**04:15
SIR_TacoSubCool: what version of Kubuntu?04:16

SIR_TacoSubCool:  you have two options 1)https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot 2)http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/04:20
SIR_Tacosecond is probably more user friendly, but you'll have to download a liveced04:20

SIR_TacoSubCool: did you try the chroot option in the first link?04:37
SubCoolno-04:39
SIR_Tacoit's the way to go if you know the paritions04:39
SubCoolSIR_Taco, i can use gparted to get their location, but- im still pretty fearful04:44
SIR_TacoSubCool: it would give you an idea... but so would using cfdisk.... just don't hit 'write' only 'quit' when you're done looking04:45
SIR_TacoSubCool: for instance you can type "sudo cfdisk /dev/sda" (which is your first master drive) or "sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb" (which is your first slave drive)04:48
ssfdre38ok how can i add the free space to my current partition04:48
SIR_Tacossfdre38: you can use the KDE parition manager under Kmenu->Applications->System (if  you don't have it installed you can install it by using the command line and typing "sudo apt-get install partitionmanager" or looking up KDE partition manager in your package manager, like Muon or KPackageKit)04:52
ssfdre38well ive been using Disk Utility04:52
ssfdre38parition manager doesnt allow me to move the free space to my current partition04:54
SIR_Tacothe Mac Disk Utility?04:55
ssfdre38the Ubuntu one and when i switch over to KDE Partition Manager it still doesnt allow me to do it04:55
SIR_Tacossfdre38: do you get an error?04:56
ssfdre38i just cant see the option for it04:56
SIR_Tacofor KDE patition manager, you should be able to click the bar (showing the distribution of disk space near the top) and select "Parition" from the menu at the top, then "Resize".... just make sure you resize the partition with data on it not the empty one04:58
ssfdre38doesnt allow me04:59
ssfdre38it has a lock on it04:59
SIR_Tacossfdre38: are you currently using that parition?05:00
ssfdre38yea05:00
SIR_Tacossfdre38: that would be why05:00
ssfdre38so i should use the installer to do it?05:00
ssfdre38well the system installer05:01
SIR_Tacossfdre38: not sure if you can change paritions without actually re-installing....05:02
SIR_Tacousing the install CD I mean05:03
ssfdre38well i just want to add the free space over05:03
ssfdre38well for me its install thumb drive05:04
SIR_TacoYou should be able to use the "Try Kubuntu" option from the install cd and you should have KDE partition manager there, and you can do it05:04
ssfdre38yea im going to in a bit05:04
SIR_Tacothe drive can't be mounted if you want to change the size of it... that's the main point05:06

BluesKajIncarus6, I am now retired , but worked in the scientific field most of my working life and read extensively about various environmental/chemical processes and never came across "disprefer"11:55

Incarus6I read an article on Spiegel.de some time ago about English slogans and what they would mean if you translate them verbatim: http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-67579.html12:01
BluesKajIncarus6, your use of the word "slogans" should be translated as 'expressions" ...a slogan is used by advertisers, politicians etc12:03

* genii-around hands semitones a nice blue Kubuntu t-shirt and coffee mug17:32
semitonesthanks! now I can sit and caffeinate in style17:33
avihaywell, the only way I can think of doing that without writing an input plugin for how ever you call the alt+f2 launcher, is to add the files you want to the kde menu17:33
semitonesmy rock-climbing buddy was using kubuntu on a camping trip, and I thought "why does his desktop look so awesome and mine is so boring?"17:33
genii-aroundWork, back later17:34

mzanettiis it possible to upgrade a kubuntu 8.10? do-release-upgrade doesn't work any more as the repos have already disappeared...17:39
semitoneswhat is the difference between gdm and kdm?17:41
mzanettisemitones: gdm comes with gmone while kdm is for kde17:41
mzanettithey look a bit different but do the same job17:41
semitonesmzanetti: its asking me whether i want to keep gdm or use kdm, just wondering if it makes a difference17:42
semitonesi can always change later right?17:42
mzanettinot too much... you configure kdm using kde's systemsettings and gdm through gnomes one17:42
mzanettiif you want to get rid of gnome's systemsettings you will be probably better off with switching also the kdm17:43
mzanettito kdm...17:43
semitonesok, thanks17:44
avihaymzanetti: you can probably still get an alternate disk for the version you want to upgrade to and run it's upgrade script17:46
avihaythe alt disc will act as a mini-repository for the core packages17:46
avihayso it should be faster17:46
mzanettiavihay: oh, cool. I'll try that... thanks17:47
mzanettiwould you reccomend a LTS version if its for someone else?17:47
mzanettiits a person which has basically no idea whats the difference between operating systems17:47
mzanettibut she was pissed off from windows vista and I installed her kubuntu, back in 200817:48
avihayon one hand, LTS releases are a bit more stable, on the other hand, KDE has improved a lot, and an LTS release won't get the new shiny stuff17:48
mzanettitrue... but she's used to kde 4.2 :D17:49
mzanettiI guess also the LTS has improved A LOT17:49
avihayif she lived with 8.10 till now, I guess she wouldn't mind an older ver17:50
=== fuhrer is now known as Guest82000
avihayother possibilities include editing/replaceing your repositories config with a newer one and running update and upgread, very messy. or overriding your current install with a new one (without formatting). you'll have to reinstall all the packages that were installed in the past, but your home folder will stay the same, including your personal preferences17:52
mzanettiyeah... I'm more worried if I ever will get things like pppoe up and running again17:54
avihayif 8.10 is an LTS, I think you can upgrade to the next LTS directly with the next LTS's alternate CD, if not, then you might need to upgrade incrementally17:55
mzanettiunfortunately it isnt... 8.04 was an LTS... the repos for 8.04 are still up... thats what made me think about using an LTS this time17:56
avihayhas she been useing kde3 untill now?17:58
avihayoh, nm17:58
=== eyes_ is now known as EyesIsServer
avihayanyway, you always have the "more aggressive" ways. (I'm working with an overridden system for a long while now. you might also like to delete everything on the HDD except for the home folder before overriding if the normal overriding causes trouble)18:03
mzanettithe link for the 10.04-alternate-64bit iso on the website is broken18:04
mzanettiit is 10.04.2 but should be 10.04.318:05
=== erik____ is now known as erolfr
mzanettiavihay: thanks for your opinions. I'll try to upgrade using the 10.04 cd18:07
avihaythere are various mirrors around the world18:08
avihaymzanetti: and I think you need the 9.04 and 9.10 disks first, and it will take hours18:08
mzanettiavihay: oh... can't I just skip the 9-versions?18:09
avihayfor the incremental "by the script" upgread, that is18:09
avihayfor overriding, you can use any version18:09
mzanettioverriding seems a bit dangerous to me... if the package manager looses track of the files I expect problems sooner or later...18:10
BluesKajmzanetti, one can always use apt in the terminal ...all is not lost and one can always add repos by editing the sources.list18:13
erolfrhello,I'm new on linux. I've changed die Display Settings(second Monitor)  But the setting are the old after reboot.Whats my Failure18:14
mzanettiBluesKaj: yeah... that's what I'm trying right now... is it possible to just set the sources.list to 10.04 and du an update/upgrade or will that mess up the system?18:15
avihayit's kind of the opposite, in overriding (and by that I mean installing over), the installer just deletes  the existing packages, and some of the config files, and rewrites them anew18:15
avihayand upgrading incrementally with the upgrade scripts on the alternate discs is more error prone18:16
BluesKajmzanetti, upgrade from what to 10.04 ?18:17
BluesKajonly upgrade to the next version in the release list, mzanetti18:17
mzanettiBluesKaj: 8.0418:18

macojoshh^: do you have an ubuntu live cd yet? boot from it, and when you choose to install it'll offer to "install alongside" your current OS. choose that and it'll automate the dual boot process19:37

macothe other way around is more the norm ;)19:46
LordCrcjoshh^: _should_ go ok, but i'd back up anything important in any case19:46
macoubuntu will detect other OSes and set up a screen to choose betwen ubuntu and whatever else you have on each boot19:46
macowindows will just clobber19:46
LordCrcthough i must admit i havent dual booted in ages19:47
LordCrcmost dangerous part is if you have to resize a partition to make room19:47
macoLordCrc: kubuntu's installer doesnt make you do that manually19:47
macoLordCrc: there's a dual boot option and you tell it what the max size you want it to be is (based on free space) and it sorts it all out for you19:47
LordCrcmaco: yeah i meant the actual process of resizing :)19:48
LordCrcmaco: power loss then would be bad19:48
macoLordCrc: i think power loss in general is pretty bad for computers :P19:48
LordCrcmaco: heh yeah true19:48
joshh^I have parititioned and formatted it already so that I can install Ubuntu on it19:48
LordCrcjoshh^: then you should be in pretty good shape19:48
elgatonHi everyone, anywone knows where the default SSL certificates for Kubuntu are stored (i.e. the ones displayed in the "SSL Options" module in the Control Center?)19:50
BluesKajjoshh^, then use the manual partitining and just set the / and if you had decided on a /home , you caqn set that as well19:50
LordCrcmaco: that being said I really wish the automagic partitioner had a "max size" option19:51
LordCrcmaco: instead of 100% or manual19:51
macoits not really 100%19:52
macosome free space is left in the old os19:52
macoor do you mean if you're starting from blank?19:52
LordCrcmaco: i mean on a clean disk19:52
macoah ok19:52
LordCrcI wanted to keep 20gb for other purposes, but noo :)19:52
macowell theoretically im the installer dev for kubuntu now, so i guess come november i can see what the others think of me trying to do that19:52
LordCrci resized it after installing so it's ok, but19:53
