[00:31] <rosco_y> how do I register the public key for the repo http://badgerports.org ?
[00:32] <rosco_y> (not sure if "repo" is the right term)
[00:32] <rosco_y> repository, hmm...maybe that's right.
[00:33] <rosco_y> not sure though.  I was wrong once before.  It was a while ago, but it could happen again.
[00:40] <rosco_y> Well, I got it.  Weird that it helped to read the directions at badgerports.  That usually doesn't help me at all.

[05:39] <maniX> Hello frnds, i am having problem managing the activity. I want my activity to have only my desktop folder full screened with bottom pannel on. But i am not able to do that. Please help
[07:15] <sbarcteam> hi.
[07:16] <sbarcteam> I am having strange experience with kde-standard on ubuntu 11.11.
[07:16] <sbarcteam> The problem is with vnc.
[07:16] <sbarcteam> When using x11vnc or vino-server or any other vnc server using the "real" display, I am getting a very big screen area.
[07:17] <sbarcteam> I think KDE plasma is defining a bigger screen than my client expects, and so it's a bit mess.
[07:18] <sbarcteam> is there a way around this ?
[07:25] <sbarcteam> is ther anyone around here ?
[09:20] <cesare> ciao

[15:02] <yofel> hey BluesKaj
[15:02]  * BluesKaj researches NAS and freeNAS ..could be a neat solution
[15:44] <Combatjuan> Not sure where to ask this.  From a linux box, if I do 'ping data' I get the ip address 10.0.0.5.  If I instead do 'ping \\data' I get 10.0.0.10.  What do those leading backslashes even mean?
[15:44] <Combatjuan> I suspect that '\\data' is a windows share.  But I would expect ping to either ignore the backslashes and also give me '10.0.0.5' or to raise an error about that being a malformed hostname.
[15:46] <Combatjuan> And googling for an answer to this question is beyond my skill.  If someone could point me to a more appropriate channel, I'd go there.  But I'm not sure if this is a low level network issue, a samba issue, an ubuntu issue...
[15:56] <BluesKaj> Combatjuan,  what's the purpose of pinging data ? Any existing partitions should be listed in "places" in dolphin including windows ntfs
[15:58] <Combatjuan> BluesKaj: I was trying to figure out if it was reachable.  But a coworker did the same except with the leading backslashes.  I'm confused why it resolved to two ip addresses.
[15:59] <Combatjuan> So basically, I'm just trying to understand.  I think it might have something to do with DNS versus a Netbios equivalent?  And maybe they are both actually different machines?
[16:01] <Combatjuan> I'm starting to think my confusion is based on my previous assumption that leading backslashes were merely part of some kind of samba client notation but in fact they are part of a more broad netbios protocol that ping also understands.  Does that sound right?
[16:02] <Combatjuan> And nothing would prevent the DNS server from resolving 'data' to somewhere completely different than the computer with netbios name '\\data'.
[16:02] <Combatjuan> And that's confusing.  But on a big network it's not surprising that 'data' would be a common name.
[16:07] <BluesKaj> Combatjuan,  that's probly a safe assumption ...not familiar with pinging hostnames ..IPs , but I'm on a home network so large WANs aren't my strong suit
[16:08] <Combatjuan> BluesKaj: Ok.  Well, I'll pretend I have a solid answer and that should probably trick my curiosity into satisfaction.  Thanks.
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Combatjuan,  are you looking for a particular server on the network or ?
[16:15] <Combatjuan> BluesKaj: A client was reporting ambiguous problems with 'data' and I knew they had done some reorganization of their network so I was just wondering if it was up at all.  But that's sort of orthogonal to my question.
[16:18] <BluesKaj> Combatjuan,   orthogonal ? Not sure what you mean by that , = 0 ?
[16:20] <Combatjuan> BluesKaj: It's a metaphor I guess.  "orthogonal" lines share no vector components.  It means unrelated.  The 'why' of my question was unrelated to the 'what'.
[16:21] <BluesKaj> ok , i guess :)

[17:07] <designbybeck> in the way you can join more than one package to install like 'sudo apt-get install inkscape gimp' can you do the same when adding ppa's?? Like sudo apt-add-repositor ppa:repo1/ ppa:repo2/ ..... ?
[17:12] <Sentynel> designbybeck: afaik it doesn't take multiple repos at once, but something like this should work: for repo in ppa:fred/ppa ppa:bill/ppa ppa:etc/ppa; do sudo apt-add-repository -y $repo; done
[17:12] <designbybeck> hhmmm
[17:13] <designbybeck> do you have a to do a update after each repo add as well?  I'm trying to make a text file I can just copy and paste to a term window to run all my stuff when installing on a new machine
[17:13] <Sentynel> you can add them all then do one update
[17:13] <Sentynel> easiest way of doing it is just create a bash script
[17:13] <designbybeck> I know ideally I'd want ot make them part of my distro or something, but i haven't learn that much yet ;)  so I'm just trying to find a quick way to install all the software I want , it would be nice to have it auto answer Y as well
[17:14] <Sentynel> loop over the ppas you use like that, then update (and probably upgrade), then install the packages you want
[17:14] <designbybeck> I don't know hwo to do bash
[17:14] <designbybeck> i'm still learning
[17:14] <Sentynel> a bash script is just a newline-separated list of commands you enter in the terminal
[17:15] <designbybeck> Thanks Sentynel, i just found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/94061/how-to-install-multiple-ppas-and-applications-at-once
[17:15] <designbybeck> i'm going to read up on it
[17:15] <Sentynel> also, the -y option to apt-* assumes yes to any queries
[17:16] <designbybeck> could you ever set custom System Settings this way? like middle mouse button to resize in Input Devices and things like that?
[17:16] <designbybeck> ah ok!
[17:16] <Sentynel> well stuff you put in system settings is stored in a config file somewhere
[17:16] <Sentynel> you can just copy that over to new systems as well
[17:16] <Sentynel> I don't know where exactly it is off the top of my head though
[17:16] <designbybeck> :D I'll go hunting!
[17:17] <Sentynel> it'll be in ~/.kde/share/config/ somewhere I'd guess
[17:20] <designbybeck> Sentynel: a bash file is saved as filename.sh ?
[17:20] <Sentynel> designbybeck: yeah
[17:22] <excognac> anyone knows how to change letters within a keyboard layout?
[17:53] <Scunizi> I've placed quick launch icons on the top screen bar in 3 sections.  How do I move the icons around?  I can't seem to get them in the order I want.
[17:57] <draeath> I can't figure out how to get a "real" desktop on my netbook. It seems to force me into the netbook oriented "Activities" thing. There are no other sessions listed at the login screen.
[17:58] <draeath> How do you get it to log you into the "full desktop"
[17:58] <draeath> (apologies for stupid questions, can't find anything useful via google. just news items about activities and such)
[17:59] <draeath> ... no sooner do I ask than I find it's buried in "Workspace Settings" now. Nevermind.;
[19:46] <sleepy> ??
[19:48] <Linuxephus> sleepy: Pay me no heed. I just logged in several minutes ago to test an install of Xchat-Gnome along side Xchat itself. They appear not to like co-habiting alongside each other.
[19:49] <sleepy> Linuxephus ?
[19:49] <sleepy> sure you mean me?
[19:49] <Linuxephus> sleepy: Eh...never mind. By all means, carry on.
[20:17] <RiotingPacifist> How can i get a list of i386 packaged on 11.10?
[20:23] <Riddell> RiotingPacifist: I don't understand what you mean
[20:25] <rork> RiotingPacifist: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[20:27] <RiotingPacifist> rork: Riddell Im on amd64 and i want to check what i've installed that is i386 isntead of amd64?
[20:27] <Riddell> RiotingPacifist: oh multi-arch packages?  no idea I'm afraid
[20:28] <dmatt> anybody knows how I change email for my Launchpad account? I do not see the option to do it...
[20:37] <Riddell> 12.04 LTS Beta 1 https://wiki.kubuntu.org/PrecisePangolin/Beta1/Kubuntu !
[20:37] <starbuck> great job!
[20:47] <Husel> Hello, I've installed Kubuntu using the wubi installer, but when it loads up it says something like "wubildr not found" and then the 5 dots appear on a blue background showing it is loading, then the mouse cursor appears and it just stops. Any ideas how to fix it?
[20:57] <TorpedoSkyline> How come I can't delete my system partition from the partitioner in Kubuntu Live CD?
[21:02] <soee> hi what is the command to upgrade 11.10 to 12.04 ?
[21:06] <sleepy> ??
[21:11] <DarthFrog> soee: sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[21:11] <soee> nope wont work
[21:12] <DarthFrog> soee: try: sudo do-release-upgrade -p
[21:12] <soee> DarthFrog: nope, cant find new release
[21:12] <DarthFrog> There is no new release yet.
[21:13] <DarthFrog> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[21:14] <DarthFrog>  kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade
[21:14] <DarthFrog> Or "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f kde -d"
[21:15] <DarthFrog> That works.
[21:28] <rosco_y> Does anyone know how I can find the System.Linq.dll?
[21:48] <RiotingPacifist> anybody using cgroups?
[22:05] <kleiner_teddy> Good evening everyone....
[22:05] <cryptopsy> how do you have something in init.d start automatically on startup in ubuntu?
[22:06] <kleiner_teddy> I have a problem with midnight commander. When I quit the programm, I want to stay in the directory I am, at that moment, and NOT, like it does now, go back to the directory it startet.
[22:06] <kleiner_teddy> How can I achive this?
[22:06] <yofel> cryptopsy: symlinks in /etc/rcX.d/ - read up on sys-v-init
[22:07] <cryptopsy> yofel: no just tell me what tool to use
[22:07] <yofel> rc2.d is what you want usually, there's also the update-rc.d command
[22:07] <cryptopsy> is there an rc-update tool?
[22:07] <yofel> update-rc.d
[22:08] <cryptopsy> thanks
[22:10] <kleiner_teddy> does anyone know, if there is a runleveleditor, like in opensuse's yast?
[22:12] <yofel> I think we had something like that ages ago, but upstart doesn't really use runlevels so it would be useless today
[22:13] <kleiner_teddy> @ yofel: the problem is, is that I have to start some programs manual
[22:13] <yofel> you want to start some manually, or you have to start them manually?
[22:14] <kleiner_teddy> depends on the program
[22:14] <kleiner_teddy> apache & mysql needs to start directly after booting
[22:14] <kleiner_teddy> on every runlevel
[22:14] <yofel> services that still use sys-v-init can be managed with update-rc.d like before
[22:15] <kleiner_teddy> okay, i will look at that :)
[22:15] <yofel> upstart manages the services by using config files in /etc/init/ which have inter-service dependencies in them
[22:15] <kleiner_teddy> okay, big thx @ yofel :)
[22:16] <kleiner_teddy> do you know the solution of my other prblem too?
[22:16] <yofel> nope, I don't use midnight commander myself
[22:17] <kleiner_teddy> okidok.
[22:17] <kleiner_teddy> maybe someone else will respond to that
[22:28] <graft> yo, how do i get rid of these gnome file associations?
[22:29] <graft> stuff opens with gedit and such
[22:30] <kleiner_teddy> in gnome I don know
[22:31] <kleiner_teddy> but in KDE there's system-settings
[22:31] <graft> seriously? system settings?
[22:32] <graft> surely there is some metapackage that sets these associations that i can install...
[22:32] <kleiner_teddy> klick on file associations
[22:32] <graft> i'd rather not set hundreds of associations by hand
[22:32] <kleiner_teddy> sorry I know/use always the program-link in system settings
[22:33] <kleiner_teddy> for sure something is available for gnome too
[22:34] <graft> no, that's not what i'm asking
[22:34] <graft> i am using kde, and when i try to opens omething in dolphin, it opens it with a gnome application
[22:34] <graft> i don't want it to
[22:39] <kleiner_teddy> I understand a little better know
[22:39] <kleiner_teddy> in fileassociations you have to change that
[22:40] <kleiner_teddy> search for the extension there
[22:40] <kleiner_teddy> then you will see a list of programs that opens it
[22:40] <graft> no, that's not what i'm talking about, i know how to do it one by one
[22:41] <graft> there is a file /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[22:41] <graft> it lists a lot of mime-type associations with specific applications
[22:41] <graft> right now it is full of gnome applications
[22:41] <graft> there is surely a way to get it to be full of kde applications
[22:41] <graft> how do i do that?
[22:42] <kleiner_teddy> oooookay! now I really understand you! Iǘe never had that problem before
[22:42] <kleiner_teddy> I can help you
[22:42] <kleiner_teddy> sorry: can't
[22:43] <kleiner_teddy> have you installed gnome before you installed gnome? or how you installed your system?
[22:43] <kleiner_teddy> sorry gnome before kde
[22:43] <kleiner_teddy> it's getting a bit late know.
[22:44] <graft> yeah, i had gnome installed first, then i installed kde
[22:44] <graft> i installed ubuntu rather than kubuntu
[22:44] <kleiner_teddy> that might be the problem
[22:45] <kleiner_teddy> don't you have another system with kde installed?
[22:46] <kleiner_teddy> then you can copy the file from that system
[22:48] <Riddell> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/12.04-lts-announce  "Kubuntu has always been and always will be a community made project."
[22:53] <shrikrishna> @graft- the same thing had happened to one of my friends too
[22:53] <shrikrishna> if you install ubuntu with gnome first and then install kde, the default applications will remain the same
[22:55] <shrikrishna> i guess you'll have to download all kde applications individually and set them as default manually
[22:55] <shrikrishna> because you installed only the kdm, not kubuntu as a whole...
[23:27] <Riddell> afiestas: not like us in -devel any more?
