ox1dewhere are the power save settings? i have power manager, but where is power save settings?00:08
RuediiXPower manager, that would likely be it.00:08
ox1dedoesnt seem towork in power manager00:10
ox1dewhat do i adjust in power manager?00:10
Marqeaux@ox1de: Check here: http://static.afbeeldinguploaden.nl/1205/10870/3GA0L.png00:10
RuediiXOK, there should be a little applet you can add to your panel to adjust it.    (Rightclick on panel, add applet to panel.)00:11
RuediiXOXLDE  It should say backlight on full when plugged in.00:11
RuediiXoxlde Check the box.  It may be a slider, in which case, you slide it to full.00:12
ox1destill dim...00:17
ox1dei'll reboot00:18
ox1debrb00:18
ox1deOk, its still dim d(>_<)b00:21

mixolydcan someone help me out? I posted this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198150303:29
mixolydhaving trouble with booting kubuntu for the first time03:29
mixolydit works on ubuntu, but I don't wnat to use that03:29
Odd-rationalemixolyd: That is strange. Have you tried switching tty's? Ctrl+Alt+F703:33
mixolydi'm a nub03:33
mixolydwhat's ttys?03:34
mixolydI can try it03:34
mixolydwhen do I press it?03:34
Odd-rationaleTry switching from ctrl+alt+f1-f803:34
mixolydbtw i didn't menion that kubuntu works fine on live CD03:34
Odd-rationaleTry when you're stuck on the black screen after it booted up03:35
mixolydoh that was only when I did ACPI workaround on boot options03:35
Odd-rationaleYeah, I just reiewed your forum post.03:35
Odd-rationale*reviewed03:35
mixolydthank you03:35
mixolydit normally just goes to that loading screen with the dots and gets stuck there03:36
mixolydshould I press alt+ctrl+f1-f8 there?03:36
Odd-rationalemixolyd: If it is stuck there, then it probably won't work. But you can try.03:37
mixolydwhy do you think ubuntu works but kubuntu doesn't? aren't they essengtially the same03:37
mixolydworth a try03:38
Odd-rationalemixolyd: Well, the login managers are different. Ubuntu uses lightdm. Kubuntu uses KDM.03:38
Odd-rationaleKubuntu will be switching to lightdm-kde soon, so i hear.03:39
mixolydoh ic03:39
L3topwhat?03:39
L3topOh noes.03:40
mixolydi did think it was a problem with login manager03:40
mixolydjust not sure what I can do03:40
mixolydit's strange that live CD works fine03:40
* mixolyd shrugs03:40
Odd-rationalemixolyd: Have you tried reinstalling?03:41
L3topmixolyd: afaik the live cd uses the fbdev driver...03:41
mixolydOdd-rationale, many times, tried both 32bit and 64bit03:41
L3topmixolyd: can you please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA03:41
mixolydhow can I do that? i'm new sorry03:41

Odd-rationaleJust reported the spammer. hopefully the mods will take care of it soo.03:43
mixolydspam is gone, wow that was fast!03:44
Odd-rationalemixolyd: I looked up the specs of your machine. Do you have the integrated Intel graphics card or the NVIDIA?03:50
mixolydintel 965 integrated03:50
Odd-rationalemixolyd: I'm rather at my wits end. But did you verify the iso file that you downloaded?03:54
mixolydWudi does that03:54
mixolydbut I did redownload too03:54
mixolydsigh oh well03:54
mixolydthanks anyway :) i'll try opensuse03:54
Odd-rationalemixolyd: No problem. openSUSE is a great KDE distro.03:55
L3topIt seems related to your broadcom wireless for some reason.03:55
Odd-rationalemixolyd: Don't have Wubi support though...03:55
L3topyou might try blacklisting that... I am not a big fan of wubi03:55
Odd-rationaleL3top: Why would Wubi Ubuntu work?03:56
mixolydL3 - ubuntu loads up fine without the broadcom driver.. makes me install firmware but still boots up03:56
L3topI understand... I am just looking at the screenshot, I don't have a clue why the one would go and the other wouldn't, esp not related to GPU... but I frankly wouldn't expect the intel to be a problem and indeed you hit that lack of firmware and everything starts stopping03:58
Odd-rationale"starts stopping" :)03:59
mixolydyeah03:59
mixolydguess i'm SOl03:59
mixolydthank you though03:59
L3topwell... I am not sure you are SOL if you can use the normal install CD.04:01
L3topor usb04:01
Odd-rationalemixolyd: tried rebooting to windows then reboot again to Kubuntu?04:01

jessyhey there, i'm new on linux, using kubuntu but i couldn't find my .login file where is it ?09:12
WizardWhat is .login? One of shell/login associated config files?09:14
jessyi'm trying to set my system variables09:14
jessyi used PATH=... and then export09:14
jessybut everytime when i restart my computer that variables also gone09:14
jessy:S09:14
lordievaderjessy: Why are you trying to (re)set the system variables?09:16
jessyi'm trying to install qt-mobility09:16
Wizardjessy: It's in repo, I think.09:16
jessyIn .profile (if your Unix shell is bash,ksh,zsh or sh), add the following lines  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGET_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH09:16
lordievaderWizard: I don't see it in the repo.09:17
jessywhere i should add these lines :)09:17
Wizardjessy: ~/.bashrc is a good place.09:17
jessyWizard: let me investigate :p09:17
lordievaderjessy: Or you might mean ~/.bash_profile09:17
jessylordievader: ~/.bash_profile doesn't exist09:18
Wizardjessy: You can allways create it.09:18
lordievaderjessy: You could create it09:18
jessylordievader: so i created that file and then what i must to do :)09:20
jessyshould i just paste  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGET_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH09:20
Wizardjessy: This can mess things up.09:21
lordievaderjessy: No idea, I'm still not sure what you are trying to do...09:21
WizardMe neither.09:21
jessyhttp://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/installation.html09:21
jessyMaking the libraries available on Unix09:22
lordievaderjessy: You downloaded the source?09:22
jessyi download and compiled09:23
jessybut i couldn't set that variables09:23
lordievaderjessy: So you did the ./configure; make; sudo make install?09:23
jessyyup09:24
lordievaderjessy: Isn't it an dev thingie? Seems to be an api... *doesn't know QT*09:24
jessynope it's in my TARGET directory but i should set this folder as Making the libraries available on Unixsaid09:25
jessyi just wanna know where should i set these variables09:26
jessyIn .profile (if your Unix shell is bash,ksh,zsh or sh), add the following lines  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGET_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH where can i set this ?09:27
lordievaderjessy: http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2010/06/building-qt-mobility-in-ubuntu.html09:27
jessylordievader: thanks for the link it helps works like a charm atm, but i'm still wondering what does "In .profile (if your Unix shell is bash,ksh,zsh or sh), add the following lines  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGET_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH"09:36
lordievaderjessy: Perhaps that is more for unix systems (linux is unix like, not unix)09:38

BluesKajHi all11:19
BluesKajhi sky10011:20
sky100i have been able to install Kubuntu12.04 on my other partions , BluesKaj11:20
BluesKajsky100, good to hear , / and /home and swap?11:21
sky100yep11:21
sky100& /boot as well11:21
BluesKajwhy a /boot . not necessary11:22
sky100i was going through a tutorial which said  /boot is to be configured11:23
BluesKajwhich tutorial ..got a url ?11:23
sky100i gave / boot some 300 MB11:23
sky100just a min11:23
sky100BluesKaj, : here is the url : http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/12/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-kubuntu-11-04/11:25
BluesKajsky100, interesting , that the first time I've seen a /boot partition recommended in a tutorial . It may have to do with all the grub problems and windows mbr on dual boot setups11:29
=== rain is now known as Guest15090
sky100i see BluesKaj11:31
sky100ok11:31
sky100BluesKaj,  : I followed the tutorial in letters , & Kubuntu installed without a pinch of issue11:32

=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
sky100BluesKaj, : i see11:40
BluesKajthe claim is to be able to boot a messed up system , but that's what most ppl use the tty for, and the live cd11:42
=== andrey__ is now known as Agarty
sky100i see BluesKaj11:45
BluesKajanyway it's not a bad thing :)11:45
sky100ok , thanx for your confirmation11:46
sky100i was bit worried :|11:46
BluesKajit does take away a partition tho11:46
sky100yep , a small partition though11:47
BluesKajso if you need another partition for another OS , then you might have to sacrifice the swap or the boot11:48
sky100but i have 21Gb unallocated11:49
BluesKajdoesn11:49
sky100though i dont need to install any other OS  than having 2 OS on my this system..11:50
sky100XP & kubuntu.. enough for this old machine to bear with11:50
sky100nowadays i bearly use MS11:51
sky100barely*11:51
sky100i want to get a empty folder on my desktop.. how could i ?11:52
sky100an*11:52
BluesKaj4 primary partitions is the max , afaik11:53
CruX|true11:53
sky100yeak BluesKaj11:55
sky100h*11:55
BluesKajI use an older hdd for testing OSs ..got tired of the partitoning probs , altho grub likes to migrate to last linux OS installed11:57
sky100i see11:59
sky100yep .. its always advisable to stay away from partitioning .: BluesKaj11:59
BluesKajwhich I find odd , and not to my liking in case this old drive dies , then I have to reinstall grub on th other drive11:59
sky100better  is to have a seperate HDD & dedicate the same to kubuntu12:00
sky100no chance of messing up12:01
sky100u stay cler & safe :)12:01
sky100clear*12:01
BluesKajI use the main HDD for 12.04 , a WD3600 , and this older drive, a WD1600 for 12.10 testing ...so far so good12:05
sky100cool12:10
sky100whats the size BluesKaj ?12:11
sky100arnd 320Gb or even more ?12:11

sky100yep .. im happy to get kubuntu back .. which i was missing badly12:13
lordievaderYeah, once you are familliar with the system it becomes a dream. And you wish, when you are using Windows, that it is more like linux XD12:14

lordievaderI have it installed for photo work and audio. That are the only things I use it for.12:18
sky100oh i find the you tube videos are running .. then adobe is installed ..12:18
sky100dunno how it got installed on its own !!12:18
Wizardsky100: Hmm. HTML5? :>12:18

Wizardsky100: you can allways check it in package manager.12:19
sky100ok12:19
sky100i installed apper12:19
Wizardsky100: fastest method is: dpkg -l | grep flash12:19
chachanguys, is there a backport or something to get a different phonon backend?. I'm not confortable with gstreamer nor vlc12:20

chachanBluesKaj, I tried to set the amarok eq, but it said that my backend doesn't have that feature or so12:23
sky100have to configure my xchat client  alot afterwards12:23
WizardCoding's boring.12:23
chachanlordievader, for sure12:23
Wizardsky100: Usually drivers come with kernel and most devices should work out of the box.12:24
chachanlordievader, is pulseaudio-equalizer and GUI app?, gtk-based or some non-KDE stlye?12:24
Wizardsky100: If the don't, it means either device is not supported at all, or serious hacks has to be made.12:24
BluesKajchachan, well either use the alasa equalizer orthe pulseaudio , but Ialways had good luck with the alsa-eq  ...it's your call12:25
lordievaderchachan: I think it is gtk but it looks allright here.12:25
chachanlordievader, ok let me check12:25

lorddeltaHi. I've been having problems with my sound, with pulseaudio. Currently, its working, however it keeps on dying. Thankfully, I know why, and I know how to temporarily fix it...I might be able to dig around in the documentation before someone answers, but there's an issue with my speech dispatcher running pulseaudio, meaning I can't access my sound hardware or play anything. Its obviously a rights issue, and the guy in the pulseaudio chat was t15:15
OxymoronHi, I am basicly using this code in a network game: http://pastebin.com/QfcCALhx. For one strange reason, it works on Windows and other linux computers ... So its problem on my computer. I wondering, I get error "connect() failed (in trying to find out client ip): Permission denied". What could cause that in Kubuntu?15:55
L3topOxymoron: have you looked at iptables? It is hard to tell from just what is there what is going on... but my blind guess would be firewall related16:02
OxymoronL3top: Could it be because I use ports around 1000 that my firewall blocks? How to check? I havent done anything with my firewall in Linux before16:03
L3top!iptables16:04
ubottuUbuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist.16:04
OxymoronL3top: How do I check ips and ports and if I can use them then?16:07
chachanOxymoron, netstat -patun | egrep ":80" # < Checks ports 8016:08
OxymoronL3top: Seems like my firewall ufw isnt even enabled ...?16:08
chachanOxymoron, you might want to sudo it to get processes non-owned by the current user16:10
Oxymoronchachan: Yes, but how to check if ports 1026-1200 is available in UDP? Thats random ports I use on my client to test game.16:10
chachanOxymoron, hold on16:10
OxymoronI wonder if it could be another problem as I am the ONLY one in my project that cannot run the game ... even Windows works xD16:11

Oxymoronchachan: ok :)16:15
lorddeltaThere should be a guideline in the irc guidelines on the exact number...16:16
chachanOxymoron, sudo netstat -patun | egrep "udp" | egrep "127.0.0.1"16:19
chachanOxymoron, this is not the ideal since is not filtering by ports16:19
chachanbut filtering by ports looks that need more testing based on my low experience with regex16:20
chachanbut this is the guide http://www.regular-expressions.info/numericranges.html16:20
chachanenjoy :)16:20
Oxymoronchachan: That gives me UDP connections established only.16:21

Fleg_BluesKaj: The upgrade was successful (except of not installed grub). After booting from live cd and reinstalling the grub the system boots normally and is running ok.16:34
panneOxymoron: well, I think it should (only) help with this question: [18:10] <Oxymoron> chachan: Yes, but how to check if ports 1026-1200 is available in UDP?16:35
Fleg_BluesKaj: but aptitude is showing packages to update: ia32-libs-multiarch. But a lot of packages are depending on it.16:35
Oxymoronpanne: Well it does not help my problem. I guess the ports are available. I freaking hate IRC get me into sidetracks debugging things I do not need to do, to make it work. I just want the magic line to paste into my terminal that solves my problem ... xD16:36
Fleg_BluesKaj: I'm not really familiar with debian package manager. On gentoo it's lot easier to solve. Just rebuild the whole dependent packages.16:36
BluesKajFleg_, ok , run sudo dpkg --configure -a , that should help either install or remove the broken ones16:36

OxymoronL3top: Sorry, but its so frustrating and weyre not getting anywhere to get the actual problem.16:47
L3topThat is because <Oxymoron> I just want to solve my problem. <Oxymoron> Not introduce more problems, like learn how to use netstat.16:48
L3topYou dont want to fix your problem, you want the problem not to exist, and do not seem to understand why it does... therefor "kubuntu sucks"16:48
OxymoronBluesKaj: I am ALWAYS researching. But forums, google etc is very bad at getting some useful problem cases that looks like mine. Usually it ends with I kill Google and browser because it cannot help me anyway. Then I get into IRC and get more and more mad, the more people point me in wrong direction. In the end I just hink computers sucs xD16:49
BluesKajFleg_, results?16:49
OxymoronL3top: Yes, the problem SHOULDNT exist thats my point :D I do not want to fix a problem someone else caused or because something has bad logics.16:50

L3topPerhaps I am venting on you unfairly... and if so I apologize. I have poured thousands of hours into a project and about 15 minutes ago was told the project sucks because a piece of hardware did not work out of the box on a pre-alpha experimental install... so your attitude reminds me quite a bit of that.16:50
Fleg_BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/992673/16:50
BluesKajfleg use apt-get , aptitude is no longer supported afaik16:51
L3topOxymoron: it is not bad logic. Non standard ports are blocked by default.16:51
L3topIt is very much on purpose.16:51
OxymoronL3top: Well everything is done locally on my own computer, so nothing should be blocked.16:51
L3topDoes this local network connect to the internet?16:52
OxymoronL3top: Anyway, how to make all ports nonblocked temporarly in Kubuntu then? I dont care for the moment if its a seructiy risk, I just wnat the problem out of my way.16:52
L3topbecause network traffic is network traffic.16:52
L3topSo it absolutely should be blocked.16:52
OxymoronL3top: Yes my local network have internet connection.16:52
BluesKajFleg_, using aptitude may be what's causing the problem , it no longer resolves dependencies as well as apt-get16:52
OxymoronL3top: But internal network traffic on my own freaking computer, not between any other computers should work, right?16:53
OxymoronL3top: I connect clients that is on my ownn computer to a server which is on the same computer and both clients and server uses same ip, ie 127.0.0.1. Then server and clients use port 1025 to listen. This havent been any problem earlier and I hell do not understand why it should now.16:54
L3topWhat is the server address16:54
OxymoronSo no traffic gets out of my own computer, its sent back and forth locally.16:54
Fleg_BluesKaj: here is the output of apt-get upgrade. http://paste.ubuntu.com/992680/16:54
L3topI dont need the exact address16:54
OxymoronL3top: Server adress is also 127.0.0.1. I am using loopback.16:55
BluesKajFleg_, ok run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade16:55
L3topall addresses are 127.0.0.1?16:55
Fleg_BluesKaj: looks good.16:55
L3topThat makes no sense.16:56
Fleg_BluesKaj: I'll do the upgrade and see how it goes. But it looks good.16:57
OxymoronL3top: Well yes, because its tested in loopback. Oh crap, it does not have to make sense. It is for test purpose ONLY. It will not work like that in the end, when using the server. Then we will use differerently ips and ports.16:57
BluesKajFleg_, yeah , best to aptitude now , unfortunately .... I used it for many yrs , but since 11.04 apt-get has been upgraded to surpass do abetter job with dpkg than aptituide16:57
BluesKajdrop aptitude , Fleg_16:57
BluesKajok , gotta go ...16:58
Fleg_BluesKaj: thanks for help.16:59
OxymoronL3top: Just need test case to be able to try my game each time I reprogrammed it, so I can see my changes if they work.16:59
Fleg_BluesKaj: I will remove aptitude not to be confused.16:59
chachansince when testing ports with netstat is a wrong direction? heh17:01
BluesKajFleg_, YW17:02
Oxymoronchachan: Because it does not help me in this case as it seems the ports are available. So theres not the problem.17:04
Oxymoronis there any ports Kubuntu use that should work?17:05
=== bulldog98_ is now known as bulldog98
chachanOxymoron, if there are available through 127.0.0.1, then you won't be able to connect from an external host17:05
Oxymoronchachan: i shall not connect from external host ...17:06
chachanhm, you are watching ports available but you're unable to connect, is that right?17:08
Oxymoronchachan: I am unable to connect to loopback adress locally on my own computer. I do not use any external traffic or so whatever.17:09
OxymoronThe problem seems not to be the ports.17:10
OxymoronTried port 45000+ for the computer, which should be free ports. Not that either works.17:10
chachanOxymoron, I see, try making a telnet test: telnet 127.0.0.1 5000 # 5000 for instance17:11
Oxymoronchachan: I get: "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"17:11
chachanok, through netstat check the state of that port17:12
Oxymoronchachan: Seems to be avilable17:14
chachanis it *listening*?17:14
Oxymoronchachan: nope17:16
chachanwhich state?17:16
Oxymoronno state?17:18
OxymoronCannot even find the state of that port?17:18

chachanchange it for a port useful for you17:22
JuJuBeeIs it possible to lock down a desktop so the user cannot change the background or desktop icons/widgets17:22
Oxymoronchachan: Tried different ports, same result everytime. netstat gives me blank, no result at all.17:22
Oxymoroncommand succeed, but not otput17:22
chachanOxymoron, then there's not port running17:22
chachanOxymoron, therefore your application is not doing what you're expecting17:23
Oxymoronchachan: Which mean?17:24
OxymoronHow to make the port "running"?17:24
chachanthe application must do that17:24
chachanand there is, magic!17:25
chachanOxymoron, makes sense?17:25
chachandoes the application has a log or something you can check?17:26
chachanhave*17:26
Oxymoronchachan: Well thats why I use connect(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&server, sizeof(server) in my application?17:26
chachanso you're the developer behind this17:27
chachanOxymoron, I guess that's on the client17:27
Oxymoronchachan: yes, or well both no and yes. I havent design the network protocol on the client side. I know how it works though. The strange thing is that it works no another Linux PC and even on Windows, exaclty the same code.17:29
Oxymoron*on17:29
* Wizard is back17:30
OxymoronSo it tries to start connection on the port, but it fails. Even telnet 127.0.0.1 PORT fails.17:30
OxymoronPORT = 1025 in my case.17:30
BluesKajOxymoron, does your router have application/port support thru the router FW ?17:31
BluesKajtcp/udp17:32
OxymoronBluesKaj: it shouldnt make any difference anyway, as I do not send anything to router anyway.17:32
OxymoronBluesKaj: But yes it has support for that.17:32
BluesKajare the other pcs  on your lan connected to the same router ?17:33
OxymoronCould it be soemthing in my /etc/hosts file?17:33
OxymoronBluesKaj: Doesnt matter, because I am only connect to myself on loopback adress 127.0.0.1.17:33
BluesKajnormally 2 pcs shouldn't be using 127.0.0.117:34
OxymoronBluesKaj: I know, but it doesnt matter in this case17:35
BluesKajhow do you know ?17:35
OxymoronI use 127.0.0.1 locally on my own computer for both client and server application.17:35
obelus...what. It's loopback, the problem is obviously not the network.17:35
OxymoronBluesKaj: Because I am only use one PC in this case.17:35
Oxymoronobelus: I know ...17:35
obelusOxymoron: I can see you do, it's the paths BluesKaj is trying to follow that's got me confused17:36
OxymoronWorks to use telnet localhost 80 but not telnet localhost 25 for instance.17:36
obelusDo you have an SMTP daemon running?17:37
Oxymoronobelus: For some reason it seems all my ports are blocked on UDP.17:37
Oxymoronobelus: No SMTP17:37
obelusThen.. why would you connect to localhost/25? anyway. Do you have a firewall running that might be blocking your ports?17:37
lordievaderGood evening17:38
Oxymoronobelus: Just to test17:39
Oxymoronobelus: No firewall running it seems.17:39
Oxymoronobelus: Tried to start server, which listen on port 1025 on localhost, then try to make telnet localhost 1025. Doesnt work.17:39
obelusOxymoron: using `netstat -ln | grep 1025` does it show that it's listening?17:40
chachanOxymoron, my two cents is that the application is not doing its job for some reason (let's call it a bug)17:40
Oxymoronobelus: I get: "udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1025            0.0.0.0:*         " not sure if thats mean listeing?17:41
obelusOxymoron: it is listening fine17:41
Oxymoronchachan: Yes, but question is where as it works on other computers?17:41
obelusUh.. telnet is only TCP afaik though.17:42
chachanOxymoron, that's why is a bug, it should tell you :)17:42
obelusWhich would explain why it wont connect.17:42
WizardWhat is the best method of sharing files between Kubuntu machines?17:42
Oxymoronobelus: How to test through UDP then?17:42
WizardNFS?17:42
chachanobelus, right17:43
obelusOxymoron: Use a client to connect is all I can suggest off the top of my head.17:43
obelusOxymoron: Sorry, have never had to try to connect to a UDP port like that.17:43

=== ruben is now known as Guest3350
WizardIs it easy to integrate NFS with KDE?17:44
WizardI mean, click to share, click to mount? :P17:44
Oxymoronobelus: I have a client that tries to connect to 1025 but fials.17:45
WizardActually, /etc/exports is acceptable, /etc/fstab - not.17:45
chachanobelus, the main point is that netstat doesn't throw the port, so it's not listen at all17:45
obelusOxymoron: All I can suggest right now is to make your code print debug messages whenever a client tries to connect to see what's happening.17:45
chachanthat's why is not a OS issue17:46
obelusIt is listening, as shown by netstat -ln17:46
obelusI didn't think it was an OS issue, I'm still allowed to try to help, aren't I?17:46
chachanOxymoron didn't say so17:46
chachanobelus, of course you are :)17:47
obelusOxymoron posted the output of netstat -ln, which showed me that it was listening.17:47
chachanOxymoron, hm, he told me something different, well in that case, yes, he must test that with the client17:47
chachanOxymoron, you were saying that you haven't design the client so far, right?17:48
BluesKajWizard,you have to have a fstab entry for the export file on nfs17:48
chachandesigned*17:48
BluesKajer must have17:49
Oxymoronchachan: Well I design client code, but not network protocol.17:49
chachanok, I guess it doesn't work17:49
Oxymoronobelus: I try todo strace -f ./client but I do not get any useful info, just that connect() fails ...17:51
obelusOxymoron: I'd put mroe debug checks in the client to see what's happening, in its actual code17:53
obelusOxymoron: But I have to go to sleep for now or I won't have any for tomorrow =p, if you need any more help on this, I'd suggest ##programming. Anyway, night. Feel free to message me tomorrow if you want.17:54
Oxymoronobelus: Hmm it is not my fault. But the problem was that I needed to press enter and then escpae in a input field where I entred Ip adress. So the ip adress was not used at all by client, tried to connect to some random ip :D17:55
obelusSo it works now then?17:56
Oxymoronobelus: yes. So nothing wrong with netwovrk or client. Problem is the retarded C cannot handle strings porperly, OpenGL and SDL have no support for input fields ...18:03
OxymoronIn some mysterious way I had to press enter before the ip adress was sent to client from the graphics ...18:03

JMichael|workBluesKaj: i did a kubuntu installation on a netbook a few nights ago, and made the mistake of telling it to download updated packages during the installation. it wound of taking well over an hour... all due to the repos being so slow21:08

cancerl3top: sure i would like to follow.22:02
cancerl3top: proceed. Sorry again :|22:02
L3topsudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*; apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core; sudo nvidia-settings; reboot22:03
L3topmaybe you can save that to a script and execute it when you get rid of X22:03
cancerletop: :D one more thing, I have uninstalled that post-release driver, but didn't restarted the maching.22:03
cancernow there are no drivers installed and i don't see any indicaitons to restart pc.22:05

cancerroot*22:12
L3topcancer: ~ is your home directory22:13
L3topfor instance /home/cancer22:13
L3topYou could put that into kate, and save it as /home/cancer/nvidia-install.sh22:14
L3topthen you can open a terminal22:14
L3topsudo chmod +x ~/nvidia-install.sh22:14
L3topthen you can drop to tty2 (ctrl+alt+f2) and type: sudo ~/nvidia-install.sh22:15

L3topI have to step away again22:16
L3topagain... that was an example22:16
L3topI dont know your installs user name22:16
L3topso it would be /home/$USER22:16
L3topwhatever username you set it up with22:16
L3topI used cancer because that is all I know you as22:16
cancerok, saving that in home.22:17

L3topohhhhhhhhh22:19
L3topyou dont have an actual install"? You are booted live?22:19

L3topThis will never work. Every time you reboot it will revert to the cd settings.22:20

L3topI take it you chose to manually partition22:24
cancerSDA622:24
L3topyeah... got that22:24
L3topyou have no swap file22:25
cancerchoose the same sda6 :d22:25
L3topyou have 3 NT partitions... this is a bit of a mess... unless you are running 4 OSes22:25
L3topIn the future, let the dvd do the work.22:26
L3topjust advice22:26
cancer:D just two os running. thanks for advice.22:26
L3topI do not see a dvd drive22:26
cancerinstalled a Super drive. :)22:26

L3topOk22:27
cancer:((22:27
L3topso... you do not have any optical medium atm22:27
L3topyou SHOULD have a user directory under /home22:28
L3topThe fact that you do not, is very bizarre22:28
L3topand your partitions are wonky22:28
* L3top hopes you see where this is going22:28
cancerwhy is that. i did the fine installation.22:28
L3topYou do not have a user directory.22:29
cancereven kubuntu asked for a user name.22:29
L3topbut something went terribly wrong22:29
canceris it running failsafe mode?22:29
L3topI would say no22:29
L3topsomething didnt populate from /etc/skel... or22:29
L3topI cant try and guess what didn22:29
L3topt happen22:29
L3topbut your install is goofy, and unless someone has better advice... I would recommend reinstalling.22:30

L3topcancer you do not have a swap22:45
L3topit is its own partition22:45
cancerah don't understand22:46
L3topcancer: it is similar to the swap file in windows, except it is its own partition22:46
cancerbut i have a user22:46
cancerwhat i got is cancer have a home. but no home have cancer :D22:46
cancerthere is cancer having home. i mean. i have done that process you asked for.22:47
cancerfinished.22:47
L3top<L3top> ls -la /home | pastebinit   <cancer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/993262/22:47
L3topthat means you have /home/cancer22:47
L3topin windows it would be Documents and Settings\cancer22:48
cancerYes22:48
cancerin windows22:48
L3topIn windows the pagefile = swap partition22:49
L3topyou have no swap partition22:49
cancercan i creat one now?22:49
L3topthis is like windows without a pagefile/swap file22:49
cancerok22:50
L3topcancer: If it were me, I would crush the install, delete the sda6 partition, and let the cd/dvd do a "side by side" install with windows. This is JUST my opinion, and if anyone disagrees with me, they are welcome to give you advice.22:51
cancerwhat about that .sh file. i run on command in terminal and there nothing in result. but tty showed much. in which something was uable to locate and blah blah. and sincerely i could not get those words. they were fast moving.22:51
L3topThe fact that you remained here the whole time means something was amis.22:52
cancerL3top: while installing it chosen sda/sda default. but then i changed it to sda6.22:52
L3topAs it attempted to shutdown kde22:52
L3topcancer: if you choose the "side by side" option, it will do everything it is supposed to... however you will want to destroy the sda6 partition before doing so.22:53
L3topI believe that is the verbiage22:54
canceri understand what all you explained.but i'm only facing this vga issue. everthing is fine now.22:54
L3topI have to make our dvd installer, so I am used to it as I do about 10 installs per day.22:54
L3topfine is a relative position22:54
L3topit is my humble opinion that running without a swap partition is a terribly poor idea22:55
cancercan't i make one now?22:55
L3topand if you were going to resize partitions and create your own and remanage your current one, I would use gparted, which is not kubuntu, and feel weird giving that advice here.22:56
L3topI would22:56
cancerdo i need to make a new partition for swap.22:56
L3topas I said22:56
L3topCrush it and let the dvd do the work22:56
L3topthat is my advice22:56
L3toptake it or leave it22:56
cancerwill that dvd hurt other stuff on partitions22:56
L3topabsolutely not.22:57
L3topIt can resize them... it can do all sorts of things... but unless you explicitly tell it to destroy them despite warnings, it will not.22:57
cancerit will creat a partition for swap, but from which partition.22:57
L3topHowever, unless you remove the ext4 fs you have created, it will try and make space for all of them.22:58
canceri have 40gb for kubuntu. what if i exclude 5gb from it for swap.22:58
L3topagain... if you remove the ext4 so that it is simply empty space, it will use that space to do everything22:58
L3topYou can do that22:59
L3topagain, this started because I thought you had no /home/$USER directory22:59
L3topthat would have meant bad things22:59
cancerbad things like, any example please.22:59
L3topand while I enjoy your company, I am running out of time. I have testers doing installs now, and must attend to them23:00
L3topso my advice is based partially in trying to get rid of you, not because you are not a wonderful person, but because I have other responsibilities to attend to, and the dvd will do things the "right way"23:00
cancerL3top: Thanks for all.23:01
cancerL3top: will see ya soon. :)23:01
L3topIf you are here in a few hours, I will be happy to help you do this manually.23:01
cancerwithout a new installation?:D23:01
L3topbut again, the dvd does it very well23:01
L3topyes23:02
