You are using 13% of it and you have 27 GB available [05:34] cancer: you can take 10 Gb and then you will have 17 GB free [05:34] Daskreech: then i believe 17 will be enough after seperating ten from it. [05:34] that's enough right? [05:34] cancer: If you are not using it yes [05:34] You don't want to max it out... but yes. [05:36] L3top: i don't use to save data in kubuntu parition. i have other partitions for that purpose and for installing more kubuntu related apps i think 17 will be enough.

[05:49] Not while you are using it [05:50] :( then how to do it. [05:50] any tool. [05:51] i'm afraid to do it from windows xp. [05:52] cancer: how did you install kubuntu ? [05:52] Daskreech: i created the partition from XP. [05:53] but afraid to resize it from the same software. afraid to lose installed kubuntu. [05:53] cancer: What did yuo use to install kubuntu?

[06:00] or you will be back now? [06:00] then have to leave for an hour? [06:01] ah, that's another philosophy behind my words some related to grammer and some to thoughs. so some time what i meant to say wasn't what i actually meant. can't explain it like that.

[16:51] !find mysqlpdump [16:52] Package/file mysqlpdump does not exist in precise [16:52] !find mysqldump [16:52] Daskreech: i think i found it [16:52] File mysqldump found in bacula-common, mysql-client-5.1, mysql-client-5.5, mysql-testsuite-5.5, piwigo [16:52] Daskreech: thats it [16:52] Daskreech: mysql-client [16:52] phoenix_firebrd: mysql-client [16:52] There you go [16:53] cancer: Let me know what you want to learn when you come back [16:54] Daskreech: unfortunately back SOON :D [16:55] Normally people are happy when cnacer doesn't come back soon [16:56] :-p [16:56] :-) [16:56] cnacer, they are even afraid to spell it right :p [16:56] I'll be happy to see you again don't worry :) [16:56] Yeah I know people whocall it BigC [16:57] the backup was successful [16:57] Daskreech: ok, never take me wrong. newbie for english/linux/and ..... let me think. [16:58] don't want to say.... [16:58] i think i must try a reboot, haven't done yet. [16:58] almoxarife: hey :) [16:58] cancer: alright. [16:59] brb:D Time... [17:04] * Daskreech waves [17:05] Hey Everyone look who came back! [17:05] hi :) [17:05] :D [17:06] yo, just a quick question, for curiosities sake: will kubuntu 12.04 get the 3.4 kernels? or will that be saved for the 12.10 release? I am fairly new to *buntu, just wondering how often kernels get updated, cheers [17:06] any thoughts on how to remove a package from the apt database which does not remove via normal means? [17:06] Daskreech: same issue. [17:07] how to update nouveau. [17:07] xixor: no kernel upgrades until 12.10, but just security updates [17:07] xixor: they will not unless you get a backport or a ppa [17:07] cancer_: update teh kernel. What's the issues ? [17:08] lelamal, Daskreech : ok, thanks, good to know === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [17:08] Daskreech: i think graphics lib or what ever it is got to update. [17:09] Daskreech, lelamal : if I did say, want to compile 3.4 myself, would it be possible to use the exact same config that was used in 12.04 when they compiled their kernel? I know there would be a lot of things I wouldn't need compiled, but the ubuntu kernel detected all my hardware without a glitch, so if I were to compile my own kerenl, I'd like to use the same settings [17:09] Daskreech: browser ain't working, so please paste the command to update nouveau... [17:09] cancer_: What does the browser not working mean? [17:10] xixor: If you want to wait a few weeks they will have the kernel in +1 and you can just grab that [17:11] everything i save to desktop and icons files are gone. can't even open dolphin. when ever i try that, it only force close.... [17:11] browser ain't showing it's pockets to put money. no money no trade :( [17:11] cancer_: Oh dear. Can you open konsole? [17:12] Sure, konsole/quassel are only working fine. [17:12] from konsole type dolphin [17:12] Daskreech: ok, what is +1 ? [17:13] dolphin window still not appeared. still no sign of it. [17:14] Kubuntu+1 The next version going to be released [17:14] Daskreech: so are those packages available through a ppa then? [17:15] xixor: the kernel is available through a ppa but you can download any of the packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com once it's available [17:15] Daskreech: if you don't mind, can i paste some result in pm/ === cancer_ is now known as cancer [17:15] !pastebin | cancer [17:15] cancer: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:15] Use the pastebin and put the URL in this chan [17:16] Daskreech: How, no browser working. [17:17] Daskreech: ok, so that package would probably appear in the quantal branch, right? [17:17] cancer: where are you pasting it from? the terminal? [17:17] just installed firefox. trying. [17:17] xixor: correct [17:18] Daskreech: one thing I am not clear on, is how I can enable a ppa, and only have that ppa use a few selected packages? [17:20] !ppa [17:20] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk.

If you choose a PPA that has a whole lot of files and different kinds of programs then it's probably a bad ppa [17:21] PPAs should be fairly focused so that those few packages you care about are kept up to date and nothing else is affected [17:22] Daskreech: I mean, lets say I add the quantal ppa to grab say, a kernel. It is going to try to update almost every package on my system [17:23] xixor: there is no quantal ppa. Thre is a whole quantal system. I would suggest just picking out the kernel package and installing it yourself [17:23] Daskreech: ah, I see. ok, thanks for the advice, that was very helpful. I am new to how things are done in *buntu [17:23] xixor: And that only because the kernel has no dependencies [17:24] Daskreech: It has no dependencies? I thought it needed headers, and maybe a "tools" package? [17:24] xixor: anything that has dependencies I'd suggest a PPA focused on just that package [17:24] xixor: yes but those are easy to get :) maybe 4 in all if that much? [17:25] Daskreech: Yeah... it might need intraramfs-tools, a few others [17:25] xixor: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-image-generic [17:25] very few [17:26] and then if it doesn't work well you can just reboot into your precise kernel again [17:26] cancer: any better? [17:27] http://paste.kde.org/483698/ [17:27] cancer: Whee :) [17:27] cancer: type qdbus and tell me if it throws an error [17:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/999395/ [17:28] Ok so dbus is working [17:29] cancer: alt+F2 -> plasma-desktop [17:30] Daskreech: how to confirm that i'm logged in a normal kubuntu condition. and believe normal is 'Default' right? [17:32] cancer: correct [17:32] cancer: do you have any desktop? [17:32] once upon a time.... [17:33] what do you have now? A balck screen? [17:33] now have an empty desktop. everything gone was once placed. [17:33] no. [17:33] have background [17:34] Daskreech: i cannot 'right click' Icons in K > Computer > Trash to send them on desktop. [17:35] Ah ok when you right click what do you get? [17:35] On the desktop? [17:35] it's like 'Right Click' is disabled. nothing showed up. [17:36] Is there a button in the top right corner you can click on? [17:37] Yes. [17:37] cancer: ah hmm does that work and give you the option to ad widgets? [17:38] add [17:38] yes. [17:38] i can right click on desktop anywhere. [17:38] I wonder if you changed your desktop to a netbook [17:38] can or cannot? [17:39] can [17:39] i think i did not. [17:39] oh ok [17:39] anyway lead me there [17:39] just to confirm [17:40] open system settings [17:40] alt=F2 -> system settings [17:40] next [17:41] Workspace Behaviour -> Workspace -> Desktop drop down [17:41] do i need to run this command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [17:41] it just hanged [17:41] cancer: can't hurt [17:41] cannot open that. [17:42] cancer: Oh dear. Ok run that command with the exception of replacing the last && with ; [17:42] how i can repair nouveau package. [17:42] so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:43] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [17:47] justa quick reboot, till then who like to see my way.....:D [17:52] Yo, a quick question. I have gcc and g++ 4.6 and 4.7 installed on this system. Anyone know how to make one or the other the default? === christian_ is now known as sincex386 [17:53] !info gcc [17:53] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.112ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 41 kB [17:53] sudo dpkg-reconfigure gcc i would guess [17:54] Daskreech: thanks, I will give that a try... I always forget about dpkg-reconfigure [17:54] Daskreech: I've installed 3.4.0, seems to work fine... well, it booted anyway. I need to rebuild the nvidia module though, and it is complaining that the kernel was built with gcc4.7, and I am using gcc4.6 [17:55] xixor: Yeah it would ;) [17:55] Daskreech: i used remove instead of install from 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau'. and then reinstalled it. i am sure that made some changes. i also ran some other command related to nouveau from various website found by google. :D [17:56] It's Fine again :) [17:56] everthing fine now. [17:56] cancer: if you want to remove your changes you want sudo apt-get remove --purge [17:56] but as long s it's fine :) [17:56] hm... dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do it. I suppose I could overwrite the symlinks myself... but that seems iffy [17:56] xixor: Not as iffy as you may think :) [17:57] xixor: Unless you mean you want help with it [17:57] Daskreech: but there is still one thing i dont understand, why all the setting i did on desktop was vanished. [17:58] cancer: I'm not sure I would guess something wrong with a config I can get you back to a default desktop if you like [18:00] Default? [18:01] cancer: the one you get when you first login [18:01] Hey cancer How are you? [18:01] hi, i'm fine. how's about you :) [18:02] Daskreech: will that hurt? [18:02] cancer: I'm doing well, how is your linux journey going? [18:02] lordievader: just reinstalled it today. [18:03] cancer: I did the samething yesterday ;) [18:04] Opss, afraid it's almost time for power down, but only for an hour. hope did didn't happen. [18:04] lordievader: for me there wasen [18:04] cancer: no [18:06] cancer: in konsole type mkdir ~/plasmabkup ;kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 2 && mv ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* ~/plasmabkup && plasma-desktop& [18:17] Daskreech: yo... thanks for the help there with 3.4. I gave up. I couldn't get the nvidia kernel modules to compile at all, so I am back with lowly 3.2.0-24-generic... :( [18:20] xixor: did you try symlink it? [18:20] xixor: another option is just to tell the nvidia script to use gcc 4.7 instead of gcc [18:20] Darkwing: yeah, I tried the simlinks. I didn't try to tell the nvidia script, nor did I try setting some sort of a cc environment variable [18:21] ok [18:21] Daskreech: at a certain point, I just didn't want to spend my entire day with something like this :) [18:21] Daskreech: I have a lot of aimless internet surfing to do as well [18:23] xixor: enjoy [18:33] Daskreech: anyhoo, thanks for the help today, cheers [18:34] Sure [18:49] exit [18:49] clear [18:49] exit [18:50] / === PasNox_ is now known as PasNox [18:53] lordievader: you need / at the start for it to be a command in irc [19:02] HI BluesKaj [19:03] hi Daskreech , do i need to make the ntfs partition *boot in order to install windows 7 on it ? [19:04] BluesKaj: install no [19:04] Hey guys. [19:04] Though Windows 7 will surely fight you for it [19:05] HI drostie [19:05] evening all [19:06] hihi. [19:07] well, I'll get the ball rolling. Anyone else running precise: if you put an audio CD in the tray and ask K3b to rip it and click "Start ripping," do you get any options other than "Wave" and "Ogg Vorbis"? [19:08] hi tonks [19:08] I remember -- I believe it was in Oneiric -- having many options, including FLAC. Heck, I used it to generate a bunch of flac files and have libflac installed now. [19:09] drostie: as long as you have the encoder you can rip to it [19:09] but it seems like the one in the repos doesn't install any plugins. [19:09] drostie: you might also look at audiocd:/ in dolphin [19:09] drostie, install soundkonverter [19:10] but check that you have the flac enc as well as mp3 etc [19:10] maybe needs libk3b6-extracodecs? [19:11] ahahaha. audiocd:/ is great! XD [19:11] soundkonverter is probably also great. :P [19:12] Okay, flac support in K3b doesn't require the 'libflac' etc. packages but the 'flac' package. ^_^;; [19:12] just had a look round for a cd to try my k3b, cant find a single one. the times they are a changin it seems [19:12] drostie: Isn't it? Everytime I learn something new in KDE I go "WHY DOESN"T EVERYONE IN THE WORLD USE THIS WONDERFUL BIT OF CODE?!?!" [19:13] Then my head echos and I have a headakhe and I calm down [19:13] Daskreech: because Windows has convinced us that if you open a CD in a file browser you just see useless crap? :P [19:15] drostie: Yes but I can open images or archive files or another computer or a website or emails or time itself and it all makes sense. Why does everything else insist on not making sense? [19:15] If I could get wine running reliably i would nail my win7 disc to the neighbours car [19:16] drostie, if you don't mind flac conversion on the fly , then try vlc as a player .. i convert all flac files to wav [19:17] I had a nasty experience installing wine under kubuntu. Basically, I said "aptitude install wine" and it said, "did you mean... aptitude remove KDE and break everything?!?!" and I was all like, "no! that's retarded! apt-get install wine!" and it was all like, "okay." [19:17] tonks: To the window? [19:17] I think aptitude is broken. :< [19:17] lol [19:18] drostie: was it april 1st ? [19:18] I think precise was released later than April 1st. :P [19:18] yeah, ive played around with it numerous times, got it working once, but unreliable, and seemed a bit of a blind shot in the dark, so have to dual boot for my gaming needs [19:18] I wasn't a release candidater. [19:18] aptitude is no longer supported in kubuntu afaik [19:19] BluesKaj that doesn't mean it doesn't work [19:19] it' still works but hqas dependency probs [19:19] Wine works for what I use it for -- an old copy of WZGrapher downloaded before Walter Zorn's site went down. [19:19] tonks: What version of wine? [19:19] Side note: we need a comparably awesome grapher written in Qt. Seriously. [19:19] We may have one [19:20] Daskreech: I believe 1.3 [19:21] It's true. I probably know less than 1% of the open-source code written in Qt. :< [19:21] I keep trying to learn it and getting confused by the QEverythingEverywhere. === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top [19:23] drostie: Do you do much object coding?

I want to create a share to windows machines using the ad users [19:41] i tried the security = ads [19:41] but something is missing.. i have no idea what can I do [19:42] Guest11406: Have you installed samba? [19:42] lordievader, yeap [19:43] Guest11406: Completely configured? [19:43] it is installed, i tried to configure it via swat [19:43] http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html [19:44] huum [19:46] Guest11406: Or check out the Samba section here: http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-home-media-and-file-server-with-ubuntu [19:51] OR ASK ON #SAMBA [19:51] whoops [19:51] Easy Daskreech easy :P [19:52] winbind is such an ugly beast to set up - might take 3months before you get anything working [19:54] I had a few working with Win 2k3 AD - then when we went to 2008 R2 that was that and I just gave up [19:57] Yeah Microsoft tends to change stuff every release [19:58] The EU made them document them now so it's better at least [19:58] Guest11406: I'd still ask on #samba though [19:58] it's about to change again with Win 8 and the SMB2 protocol [19:59] Yep and likely again with the service pack for Windows Phone compatibilty [19:59] as I said though they have to document it by decree now so it's better tahn just guessing in the dark as it was before [20:00] be far easier to just set auth=user, add some accounts to smnpasswd and hand out user/pass access to people in a casual manner [20:00] err make that smbpasswd [20:02] what I did was locate the shares on the windows servers, config Mac OS X/Linux boxen for access to those, and mounted them as drives [20:03] but that is an end-run around Active Directory [20:05] technically a violation of security policies too, but I don't have all day for one problem... [20:09] Leave the security fallout headacheto someone else? [20:10] lol - let it get lost in the noise [20:15] today I learned that in KDE the whole filesystem gets abstracted, so that transferring from bluetooth and ripping a CD to MP3 and FLAC is done with normal file-copy ops in the normal file manager. [20:15] Suddenly all of that wasted RAM kind of makes sense. [20:16] :-) [20:16] I generally look at ti this way [20:17] There are shared bits of logic that get loaded that make things work very well across the entire system that would be horribly difficult and even more expensive if they were not shared [20:17] however the downside is many people don't make use of them and quite a few don't even know they exist [20:18] Im not really following the convo, what are you guys talking about?
