wa5qjhgenii-around  I've been using Ubuntu untill pretty recently.  but decided to give  Kubuntu a tray again. I like the KDE window manager.00:01
wa5qjhbut the ubuntu network manager would occasionally drop the connection too and the smart entry would drop off the networks list.00:02
genii-aroundwa5qjh: I think if you use kppp instead of network manager, you can set it to redial if the connection drops. You'd have to know the serial port and dialling sequence though, etc00:02
wa5qjh I dont know how it would be done but I think somehow a longer wait for it might help.00:03
wa5qjhYeah,  That's a problem.  I've been trying to find what NM uses to call the modem but have no idea where to find it.00:04
wa5qjhAll that ATDT-OK-blah blah.....  I dont know what to put in there and apparently NM does that stuff iinternally.00:04
wa5qjhAlso there are some things that need to be sent like allow 2g or prefer 2g etc.00:05
wa5qjhI really wish I knew!!!00:05
genii-aroundHm, yes.00:05
wa5qjhlooking at that providers list, smart is one of the simpler providers to contact.00:06
genii-aroundwa5qjh: A lot of these USB 2g-3g-4g modems use custom AT codes for this stuff, it differs from model to model unfortunately00:06
wa5qjhYeah, it does seem to.  I think the 2 most often used modems are #1 ZTE  and #2 Huaweii  both from China00:08
wa5qjhalso turns out that Smart has been using  the ZTE units but the most recent avaiable is the Huaweii. the sim card is useable in either I'm told.  I havent bought one of the new ones yet.00:09
wa5qjhso I havent tested it in NM.  I have tested one for a different provider but their tower is further away and notorious fof not being a good cell provider in this area.00:11
wa5qjhsupposedly, however,  they are interchangeable  except they are locked to a provider and it aint easy unlocking them.00:12
wa5qjhabout like "jail-breaking" an apple with about as much chance of success without winding up with a "brick".00:12
wa5qjh  there are 3 providers in my area Smart, globe, & Sun and all three have 2G connectivity and tho smart is the best of them, it is pretty dang poor. right now my best is 12KBps. And I've been down to less than 600Baud. reminiscent of the early 80's00:15
wa5qjh-- if that doesnt date me,nothing will!! :)00:16

genii-aroundwa5qjh: I wish there was more help I could offer00:18
wa5qjhack,  I was afraid you'd say that!! :)00:19
wa5qjhBut thanks a lot fortrying. appreciate it.00:19
wa5qjhbefore you go. have you played with kppp any ?00:21
wa5qjhsome 14 years ago I had to use ppp but I've forgotten dern near everything.00:21
genii-aroundwa5qjh: I did use it before, mostly with expect scripts to get the dialling right, etc00:24
genii-around( but not since kde 3 now )00:24
wa5qjhBeen a while for you too then..00:26
genii-aroundYep00:26
genii-aroundwa5qjh: Does your /etc/network/interfaces file have like a ppp0 or wwan0 entry?00:27
wa5qjhI had downloaded some AT-Commandsets stuff back several months ago but I was using ubuntu 11.04 in wubi  and that got scrogged so  I've lost it.--- ok, let me check...00:28
genii-around( Sometimes external modems have a line in those entries of the interfaces file which does something like call pon/poff or wvdial or so on )00:29
genii-aroundAway for a couple minutes00:29
wa5qjhauto loiface lo inet loopback00:29
wa5qjhauto lo \n  iface lo inet loopback00:30
wa5qjhis all it has.00:30
wa5qjhI've been trying to get it to work in PCBSD too. are you familiar with that ?00:31
wa5qjh I also wonder if anybody here knows anything about recovering a wubi installation.  I still have the 20GB virtual disk from it.00:32
wa5qjhI actually had better luck with Ubuntu11.04 in a wubi set-up than I did in a "normal" partition set-up.00:34
genii-aroundwa5qjh: Yeah that's all automatic stuff then that just leaves it to nm00:35
wa5qjhThat's pretty much what I gathered.00:36
genii-aroundwa5qjh: I sort of wonder what's in /etc/ppp/peers/provider and if it could be used to dial with something else instead like pon/poff or wvdial00:37
wa5qjhso NM handles the modem very internally and doesnt give away any secrets..00:37
wa5qjhI'll look.00:37
genii-aroundwa5qjh: If anyplace has the codes to make it select 2g-3g and so on, that would probably00:39
wa5qjhwell, it has some interesting stuff in it. Do you know for sure that NM uses that script ?00:40
wa5qjhBeing a relative newcomer to ??buntu I'm not familiar with any of those.00:41
genii-aroundwa5qjh: I don't know for absolute certain, no00:41
wa5qjhit looks like that script is a general-purpose template, and not specific to mine tho.00:42
wa5qjhso probably what you have is the same as mine.00:42
genii-aroundHm00:44
wa5qjhYeah,  that's definitly a skeleton or template. interesting  but not specific to me.00:44
wa5qjh@#$@## I hate this "Motheer May I" stuff!! That's why I stay away from micro$loth!!00:50
genii-aroundwa5qjh: Does /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/    have a file with the right name of the ISP?00:52
wa5qjhYes, it does!!00:54
wa5qjhand apparently a lot of pertinent info too. but a lack of a couple other things like a timeout, persist or whatever.00:56
wa5qjhSays "network type = 3" does that mean 3G or some NM definied 3rd type ?00:57
wa5qjhinteresting thing is,  it provides groups of parameters much like my.cnf if you're familiar with mysql.00:58
genii-aroundA little but not enough to be useful00:59
wa5qjhyeah, no chat script. and no indication of how to include a couple parameters in a chat script.01:00
wa5qjhsee NetworkManager.conf01:02
wa5qjhjust starting in  that one right now.01:02
L3topwhat are you trying to do wa5qjh01:03
genii-aroundL3top: Prevent network manager from disabling his usb 2g-3g modem when the signal drops01:03
wa5qjh at this moment trying to find a chat script for kppp to do the same as what NetworkManager appears to do internally.01:04
wa5qjhThat too!! :)01:04
=== root is now known as Guest70559
wa5qjh there are parameters like "apn" and "prefer 2G" and others that need to be sent. Also need to know what interface is beinig used. baud rate to it. ( tho since a USBtty I dont know why that would be needed.)01:07
genii-aroundIt's an interesting problem, but I currently have no more ideas on it01:08
L3topI will poke around.01:10
wa5qjhlooking in NetworkManager.conf I find a reference just now, to this url:01:10

twtxwyHow to do run rpm in the Kubuntu02:58
L3topthe only way I know to do that is with alien03:04
L3top!alien03:04
ubottuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)03:04
twtxwyMySQL isn't install Kubuntu ,Why?03:06

bartman2589Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with programs running under WINE, I already tried asking in the WineHQ IRC channel but apparently out of the 175 people that show as online none of them are actually online at all03:55
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: hi03:57
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: problem?03:58
bartman2589I can't seem to right click in most programs under WINE in order to access any context menus03:58
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: what is the wine version?03:59
bartman2589I'm running WINE 1.5 from the WINE Launchpad PPA03:59
bartman25891.5.7 actually04:00
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: did you install any thing using winetricks?04:00
bartman2589several things actually04:02
bartman2589and I'd really rather not have to reinstall all of my programs, I had a hell of a time getting the ASPI drivers installed so I can use Imgburn (because some of the media I use I need to burn with OPC disabled and K3b doesn't have an option to do that)04:03
bartman2589plus K3b for some reason won't let me burn ANYTHING to DVD, I have tried all kinds of different permissions settings all with no luck04:04
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: do you like nero dvd burner?04:08
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: If you have no problem ,we can try to solve the issue with k3b04:09
bartman2589not really, Imgburn works much better for me, I've had problems with Nero even on Windows, there's known problems with Nero not reporting what actually are problems with the burns, and as a result the media doesn't work sometimes with some systems04:10
bartman2589Imgburn works, and I can burn CD's with K3b, mainly I wanted to get context menus working in WINE apps04:11
skreech__what about wodim?04:11
bartman2589skreech, there's a reason I chose to use an OS with a GUI interface04:12
bartman2589I hate working from the shell, I hated it even back when I started with MS-DOS 2.2 in the 80's04:12
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: start the application in terminal , like "wine someapp" and right clcik and see if you get any error messages04:12
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: *click04:13
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: use paste.kde.org for pasting any text more than a line or two04:13
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: i will be back in 5 mins04:15
bartman2589Ok, trying it with Photoshop 7.004:15
bartman2589I think I might have figured it out, one of the error lines says something about not being able to find Microsoft Common Controls04:18
bartman2589and unless I'm mistaken that's the .dll that handles right click context menus in Windows04:19
Nicekiwihow can I make Filezilla or Firefox use liuux programs for external commands?04:19
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: i am back04:22
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: so its now clear that the problem is due to the components you installed using winetricks04:22
bartman2589Nicekiwi, you can choose what programs Firefox uses (for most file types) by going to the Edit Menu, then to Preferences, then to 'Applications', but if you mean you want it to use something like Dolphin or Konqueror for when you right click on your downloads in the download manager window and choose 'Open Containing Folder' it's a little more complicated, Kubuntu has discontinued integration of Firefox in 12.04 (the04:23
bartman2589kdemozillahelper package is no longer included in 12.04)04:23
bartman2589very likely, haven't tried reinstalling the common controls dll yet04:23
bartman2589or even adding an override for it04:23
Nicekiwibartman2589: oh.. :( why did they stop supporting it?04:24
phoenix_firebrdskreech__: does a wine application have the permission to have a low level access of the cd/dvd writer?04:24
Nicekiwibartman2589: even those options dont work. it give me the option to select a file from the systemm :/ not a command04:24
bartman2589Nicekiwi, not sure, but there's a 3rd party PPA that I found that someone created that contains the latest version of Firefox and an updated kdemozillahelper package for use with 12.0404:25
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: try installing the missing component04:25
Nicekiwihmm...04:26
bartman2589Nicekiwi, I'll see if I can find the webpage that had info about that PPA for you04:26
bartman2589will do phoenix_firebrd04:26
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: are you aware of the nick tab auto completion?04:27
bartman2589no I wasn't, let me guess, I just type a few letter then press tab and it will finish the name for me?04:31
mr-richWhat day is the point release due?04:32
bartman2589Nicekiwi: Here's the link to the website with teh information on restorign KDE integration to Firefox in 12.04 http://awesomelinux.blogspot.com/2012/06/firefox-kde-support.html04:37
bartman2589the* restoring* (I hate typos)04:38
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: has someone burned cd or dvd using an app in wine?04:39
bartman2589I've used Imgburn without any real problems myself, the write speed doesn't seem to be as fast as in Windows but other than that it works great for me04:40
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: thats a new info i learned today04:41
Nicekiwibartman2589: chur04:41
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: and I've used InfraRecorder too (just need to set it to think it's in WinME), I posted that information at WineHQ some time ago04:41
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: as far as i know even k3b needs some permissions to burn, but hearing a wine app burning an image is very  intresting04:43
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: with InfraRecorder you also need to have the Adaptec ASPI layer installed I think ( I already had it installed when I tried InfraRecorder), and if you don't use Winecfg to set it to think it's in WinME it won't detect the cd/dvd burners04:43
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: ok, seriously, you should consider resolving the k3b issue04:44
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: yeah I know04:46
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: it looks like installing the Visual Basic 6 Common Controls packagage from Microsoft's website fixed my context menu problem04:55
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: nice04:55
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I couldn't get Winetricks to let me reinstall it through their dialogs though04:55
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: oh04:56
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: is there maybe a log file or something like that I could delete to make winetricks revert back to not thinking that anything (or individual packages) is installed?04:56
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: dont know about that04:57
bartman2589Ok, guess I'll have to poke around a bit and try searching google maybe (would have googled it already but I just thought of it a few minutes ago)04:58
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: I avoid using wine and closed source softwares04:59
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I generally avoid most closed source software too, but some Windows Open Source software far exceeds some of the capabilities of their linux counterparts, hence my desire to use some of it under wine05:00
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Photoshop is one closed source program I do use, though the new 2.8 series of GIMP is coming closer to closing the gap in features now that they've added a single window mode and on canvas text editing and support for multipack brushes and large format brushes without having to convert them to the gimp gbr format05:06
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: its true that its  hard to avoid using some windows closed source software , but its not impossible. For you to know even our kde graphics designer  Nuno Pinheiro uses adobe suite05:11
=== len is now known as Guest96950
bartman2589well as long as I'm here does anyone have any idea about why K3b will let me burn CD's in my CD burner (either from an image file or by building the structure manually) , but won't let me burn anything to DVD?  I can't remember the error message I keep getting but I've tried googling it in the past and haven't really found any useful information, I've had this problem actually since 9.04 (I do clean installs for every05:16
bartman2589distro upgrade so I know it's not a permissions problem carried over from a previous version (unless it's a permissions problem from the .deb package installations)05:16
bartman2589My DVD burner is an IDE/ATAPI drive (not SATA, yet), model Samsung SH-S222A flashed with most recent firmware, and my CD burner is a Memorex 52x/24x/52x burner, (can't remember the model number), IDE chipset is intel ICH5 series on Intel D865GLC motherboard05:18
bartman2589Do I maybe need to launch K3b as root (using Kdesudo) in order to properly set permissions?  And if so what should they be?05:20
=== jessica is now known as jessabell
bartman2589It just seems weird that I can burn CD's fine but not DVD media (of any kind, +/-/+ DL/- DL)05:22
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: do you have a dvd rw?05:26
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: drive is supposed to support RW media, and yes I do have a few RW discs, haven't tried them though to be honest05:28
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I have the RW's from back when I owned a DVR and used it to record tv shows instead of a VCR05:28
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: try to burn something in the dvd rw using k3b and get me the error log05:29
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Ok, I have both +RW and -RW's want me to try both?05:31
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: whichever you feel will create the burning problem  :)05:32
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: going to probably take a while, the media only supports 4x write speed and I'm burning the Kubuntu 12.04 DVD image (wanted to make sure there was plenty of data incase it maybe is a buffering problem of some kind)05:38
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: so burning rocess in progress?05:39
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: yes, just started it05:39
bartman2589looks like it's actually working so far with the +RW media05:40
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: In that case i think there might be a problem with your burner or a file system error in your hard disk05:40
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: is it a fixation error?05:40
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I don't remember the error it gave, it gave some number as the error though if I remember right, it's been a while since I tried burning anything other than CD's with K3b05:42
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: brb05:42
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: back, it just finished, no errors reported, I forgot to check the box to have it verify the burn though, but normally it wouldn't even get to the actual writing stage before failing with an error, I'll try with the -RW now (unfortunately that only supports 2x writes, not sure if this drive will handle such a low speed though, guess I'll find out though05:52
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: ok05:55
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: ok, started burning -RW media, it's at 3% so far05:56
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: ok05:56
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I have a stack of about 90 -R's I can try next if there's no problems with the -RW, I switched to -R's after I found out that my particular model of drive is known to have problems with +R media05:58
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: carry on05:59
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: this is a fairly new install of 12.04, every version before this one has given me problems burning DVD media with K3b though, maybe they finally fixed it in 12.04, guess we'll see06:00
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: ya06:01
=== joe_ is now known as Eredin
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: well it's at 70% with no errors so far on the -RW media06:11
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: thats good06:11
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: yeah, especially if it behaves that well on the -R media too06:12
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: which incidentally is Verbatim, so I know it's good quality meda06:12
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: media*06:12
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: that and they burn just fine on my Windows machine with the exact same make and model & firmware DVD burner in it as the one in my Kubuntu machine06:14
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: we will see, if we can solve this issue06:15
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: thanks for all the help so far!  I've been pulling my hair out just about every other day with one thing or another since moving to 12.0406:16
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: Its my pleasure.06:19
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Ok, no errors reported with -RW media, on to trying the -R media now, going to try at full 16x speed first06:19
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: wait06:19
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: ok06:20
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I saved the logs from both the RW burns too06:20
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: if your disc's max speed is 16x then try to burn in 12x06:20
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: thats nice06:20
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: why?  they burn fine at 16x in Windows, is this a limitation of K3b?06:21
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: no, try once and we will see the result. burn in 12x06:21
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: ok, will do06:22
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: incidentally I've been leaving 'Writing Mode' set to 'Auto'06:23
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: that will create a problem , k3b will try to burn in 18x and end up in fixation error06:23
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Write Mode, not Write Speed06:24
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I've been manually selecting the Write Speed06:24
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: oh, then its ok06:24
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: oddly this time even though I chose 12x it said: "06:28
bartman2589Medium or burner does not support writign at 12x speed06:28
bartman2589Switchign burn speed up to 13x"06:28
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Switching*06:28
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: ya thats common06:29
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: might be because of the patched firmware I'm using too even06:29
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: I am also having samsung burner and k3b always uses 13x for burning, may be thats the burning speed supported instead of 12x by samsung06:30
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: but so far it's at 50% with no errors reported yet06:30
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: sorry make that 'Closing Session', forgot that with 'Verify' checked 50% is actually 100% burned, just not verified yet06:31
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: almost seems to be hanging at 'Closing Session' though is this common?06:33
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: just popped an 'Unable to fixate disk' error06:33
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: and then 'cdrecord has no permission to open the disk'06:35
bartman2589sorry meant 'device' not 'disk'06:35
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: is your dvd writer a old one?06:35
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: about a year and a half old now06:36
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: heavily used?06:36
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: so do you have the error log?06:37
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: not really, like I said I can burn with Imgburn fine with it and Imgburn is pretty good about reporting errors06:37
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: yeah I'll get the log06:37
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: use paste.kde.org06:38
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: i will be back in 5 min06:40
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: ok, link to log: http://paste.kde.org/510164/06:44
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: for the heck of it I'm having Imgburn do a verify of the 'failed' burned disc against the ISO image file.06:53
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: i am analysing your error log06:58
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Ok, for what it's worth Imgburn didn't find any differences between the 'failed' burn and the ISO image file07:02
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: thats what i thought07:03
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: the problem is in flushing the cache07:04
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Imgburn also reports the status of the last session as 'Complete' which if the disc hadn't been successfully closed by K3b it should show as 'Incomplete'07:04
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Ok, any thoughts on how to fix that?07:05
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: can you veify the md5 checksum of both the disc and image and see if it matches07:05
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I'm not sure how to do that07:06
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I know I can get the image file md5 checksum from the 'Burn image' dialog in K3b, but how do I generate one for the burned DVD?07:07
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: wait07:08
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I see the right click context menu on the 'Burn Image' dialog has a 'Compare checksum' option so if I can generate one for the DVD I can just paste it in there to compare them07:09
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/data-verification-of-folders-discs-with-md5-checksums-in-ubuntu/07:11
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: should I mount the image file and generate a checksum for it?   I'm just thinking that with the method on that page it won't catch the boot information on the DVD and include it in the checksum07:18
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: it will07:18
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: Ok07:18
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: the md5checksum software sees the image file as afile07:18
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: I mean the checksum I generate from the DVD might not be the same as the one generated based on the ISO image because the DVD is not being seen as a single file like the image file is07:20
phoenix_firebrdbartman2589: in that case create an image of the dvd and check07:21
bartman2589phoenix_firebrd: but Imgburn is good about doing a sector by sector comparison, and the comparison I ran comparing the DVD against the image file reported no differences at all07:22
johndoessshow to reset the default browser in the bash?07:22
=== kubuntu is now known as Guest58753
johndoesssfrom rekonq to firefox or chrome for example07:23
Avihayyou need to edit some file, any reason why you can't do it from the gui?07:24
johndoesssif you mean the xterminal-gui, there is no option for.07:24
bartman2589johndoesss: not sure how to do it from bash but if you can access the 'System Settings' GUI you can do it by going to 'Default Applications' then 'Web Browser'07:25
johndoesssohh ok then.07:25
bartman2589if you need to launch the System Settings GUI manually for some reason you can launch it by running 'systemsettings' from a shell prompt07:26
johndoesssok done, was faster than i thought :)07:26
johndoessshttp://youtube.com07:26
johndoesssworks, thank you.07:27
bartman2589ahhh, the wonders of using a GUI over a shell interface!07:27
johndoesssiam usally a openbox guy ;)07:27
johndoesssjust testing out kde a bit.07:27
johndoesssin comparence regarding ram kde--1,28gb, openbox--240mb07:28
johndoesss:D07:28
bartman2589I wouldn't give up using a GUI if my life depended on it now even though my roots go all the way back to MS-DOS 2.2 on an IBM PCjr07:28
johndoesssa lot of improvements have been done since kde 307:29
bartman2589only possible exception might be if I were setting up a freeNAS server I guess07:29
johndoesssstill some little bugs, but already quite stable07:29
johndoesssregarding stability openbox is the way to go...07:30
johndoessseven lightdm got quite a lot of bugs07:30
bartman2589well duh, shell environments almost ALWAYS have fewer problems, partly because they have far fewer things running at once, so there's less for the OS to manage07:31
johndoesssbut working quite fluid, although ati-graphics07:31
bartman2589lxde is pretty nice in terms of a lightweight GUI too07:31
johndoesssbetter than i'd expected07:32
johndoessstoo many bugs...07:32
StarryNightwhich u guys prefer ati or nvidia or intel?07:32
johndoesssregarding linux only? nvidia is the way to go07:32
bartman2589not as configurable as Gnome or KDE of course, and not as pretty either07:32
bartman2589nvidia definitely, intel has very spotty 3d support even in a Winblows environment07:32
johndoesssif you dual-boot you it might makes more sense to take amd07:32
johndoesssamd has the lead in windows, and doesnt consume as much power as nvidia07:33
johndoesssalso the idle-values07:33
johndoesssbut the driver-support in linux isnt that great07:34
bartman2589only real annoyance I've had with nvidia is their xinerama support for multiple displays, it doesn't play well with a lot of programs07:34
bartman2589at least on the linux side07:34
johndoesssi mean basic 3d-support works, but a hell of a load of stuff regarding wine and games doesnt work at all although platinum-award07:34
johndoessssame as desktop-recording... didnt work without problems with ati for a looooot of time07:35
bartman2589but AMD (technically ATI if we're talking graphics, even though they're owned by AMD they kept the ATI name) has a notoriously bad history for poorly written drivers07:35
johndoesssdid work with an nvidia which was 4 years older without problems07:35
johndoesssin linux, on the windows-side they are quite okay07:36
johndoessson*07:36
johndoesssand the overall performance is since a lot of time better with ati-graphics07:36
johndoessssadly not on linux :(07:36
bartman2589actually I was referring to personal experience upgrading and repairing windows computer for over 25 years when I mentioned poorly written drivers for ATI products07:36
johndoesssthey had bad driver, but that was in the beginning of ati07:37
johndoessss*07:37
johndoesssdidnt have any problems with the never generations starting of 387007:37
johndoesssall way up07:37
bartman2589I have owned several ATI and nVidia cards, and always the nvidia drivers proved themselves to be better written and maintained than ATI drivers07:37
StarryNightoh ok07:38
johndoesssthats possible, but the overall bang-for-the-bug is actually ati07:38
bartman2589plus I 'play' in an online virtual world called Second Life and ATI users are constantly having problems, far more than nvidia users07:39
johndoesssmost actual nvidia cards have quite some problems with heat and power consumption07:39
johndoesssnevertheless, if it was for linux-only i'd take the nvidia anyday07:39
johndoesssto pissed to get a better performance with an way older nvidia (8800gt) compared to a hd585007:40
bartman2589I'm not saying nvidia cards aren't power hungry, or don't have heat issues, but until I stop seeing constant problems from Windows users with ATI cards in Second Life I really can't recommend ATI07:40
johndoessssecond life is a game?07:40
johndoessswasnt that some ps3 stuff`07:40
johndoesssbut if you compare amd to intel all way around07:41
bartman2589some people think it is, it's a 3D virtual world, think of it as kind of like a cross between the environment you play in in games like WoW and an IM program07:41
johndoesssamd is soooo crappy, its unbelievable...07:41
johndoesssthe i5-2600k kicks the octacores ass :)07:41
bartman2589agreed, ATI's linux support is terrible07:42
johndoesssguess the only reason amd hasnt go down at all is ati07:42
bartman2589well at a cost of like 50% more than AMD's 8 core it should07:43
johndoesssbut its more than 50%faster07:43
johndoesssand not as power consuming07:43
bartman2589and way too expensive07:43
johndoesss130w compared to 65w i think07:43
bartman2589I'll stick with AMD for the most part when it comes to CPU's thanks, Intel is just too f*cking greedy07:44
johndoesssthe i5-2600k isnt thaaaat expensive actually07:44
johndoesssatleast not for speed it offers07:45
johndoesssthe speed it offers*07:45
bartman2589I recently spec'd out building an i5 system against building an 8 core AMD system and it was considerably more expensive overall actually07:46
johndoesssfurthermore less power-consumption and therefore not as much heat-producing07:46
bartman2589partly because the motherboard costs so damn much more for an intel processor than for an AMD system07:47
johndoesssthe processor itself isnt that much expensive07:47
johndoesssatleast not in germany07:47
johndoesss130€ compared to 250€07:47
johndoessswhich would be around 140$ more07:48
johndoesssbut i guess you are right with the mainboard-thingie07:48
johndoesssdefinetelly one big "pro" on the amd-side is the compatibility regarding older processors07:48
johndoesssand newer ones07:49
bartman2589well right now at Micro Center the I5 2500 (they don't list the 2600 anymore) is admittedly like $30 US Dollars cheaper than the AMD 8150 8 core @ $199.99 US Dollars07:50
johndoessswhat did you use on your rig? octacore u mentioned and what nvidia-card?07:50
bartman2589honestly I haven't built a new one yet, just been price shopping so far07:50
johndoesssjust 30$ price-difference?07:50
johndoesssthats next to nothing :D07:51
bartman2589yeah but with the AMD I can get a free motherboard usually from Micro Center, they rarely offer free motherboards for intel07:51
johndoesssfree motherboards?07:52
johndoessswhat is that microcenter thingie :D07:52
bartman2589yeah, in store only though, but fortunately here in the Detroit area we have one of their walk in stores nearby07:52
bartman2589it's comparable in many ways to Newegg or Tigerdirect07:52
johndoesssbuy a amd-processor and get an motherbord too?07:52
bartman2589yeah, walk in only though07:52
johndoessslol, not bad, no such thing in germany :D07:53
johndoesssi mean if you get a processor and a motherbord for 199 thats almost donated07:54
johndoesssmost-likely ram doesnt cost a lot, and the rest can be reusued07:54
bartman2589well that's $199 US Dollars, not sure how that compares to the Euro right now though07:54
johndoesssreused*07:54
johndoessshmm 157€07:55
bartman2589I can get some good rated 8Gb DDR3-1600 RAM for around $50 US (two 4Gb sticks)07:55
johndoessschecked the price of the a807:56
johndoesssits about 130dollars07:56
johndoesssthe ram would be around ~90dollars07:57
bartman2589I thought about going that route but I read a couple of reviews of how they perform in everyday use and honestly the reviewers recommended going with a normal socket AM3(+) processor if it's mostly going to be used for non-gaming use07:57
johndoesssthats always the question07:58
bartman2589that and most of the FM1 boards only allow for sharing up to 512Mb RAM from what I read07:58
johndoesssi mean the i5 is also less power-consuming in idle-mode07:58
johndoesssbut guess the  a8 should do the job too07:59
johndoesssits just always the question if you need such a power-consuming monster, especially if you plan to run it 24/7+08:00
bartman2589you are aware that the A8 is not the same as the mainstream AMD 8 core processor, they're 2 separate animals, the 'A' series of processors use the FM1 socket, while the FX series uses the AM3+ socket and is the series that features AMD's 'Bulldozer' core, not the A series08:01
johndoesssat the end the bit you saved on the i5 will be added to your electricity bill :)08:01
johndoesssthe one i got in mind is the "amd a8-3850"08:01
johndoesssnot quite sure if its the correct one08:02
johndoesssfm1 board08:02
bartman2589that's one has integrated graphics and is not built on the 'Bulldozer' core, it's roughly comparable to some of the intel socket 1155/1156 chips08:02
johndoesss100w tdp08:03
johndoesssnot quite a difference compared to the i5-2600k08:03
johndoesssits 95w tdp08:03
johndoessswell then i guess the amd might be the way to go, although its the slower one08:03
bartman2589the FX series is built on the new 'Bulldozer' core and actually feature up to 8 cores, even the A8 (socket FM1) afik is only a 4 core processor08:03
johndoesssyep its a quadcore08:04
bartman2589the FX-8150 is true 8 core and is only $199.9908:04
bartman2589and that's for retail boxed version with fan/heatsink08:05
johndoesss125w tdp08:05
johndoessshrhr if you've known what you'd payed for that one in germany :)08:05
johndoesss340dollars08:06
bartman2589ouch08:06
johndoesssits actually more expensive than the i5-2600k08:06
johndoesssdidnt expect that to be honest^^08:06
johndoesssBUT it come with some liquid-cooling08:06
bartman2589yeah, that's the one I said was like $30 more than the i5-2500 at Micro Center (the i5 is $169.99 now)08:07
johndoessswithout that its 250$08:07
bartman2589ah08:07
johndoesssstill not quite easy to decide which one to take08:08
johndoesssif you`re on budget the amd should might be the better idea08:09
bartman2589I am kind of wondering how some of the newer i5 processors compare to the i5-2500 though, like the i5-3450 maybe, is it a crippled processor?  is it slower than the i5-2500?  the naming convention makes it hard to tell08:09
johndoesssnope, its faster and has iirc a 35w tdp08:09
johndoesssi think its a 25nm model08:09
bartman2589and yet it's $20 US cheaper than the i5-2500 at Micro Center right now08:10
johndoesss77W TDP08:10
johndoesssAND  it should be faster, everything seems actually higher tuned08:10
johndoesssohh i might be wrong08:11
johndoesssthe default clock is about 200mhz lower08:12
bartman2589yeah I just looked at the specs, it's slower08:12
bartman2589both quad core though08:12
johndoesssand the 2500k got a unlocked multiplicator08:12
bartman2589the 2500 also has better integrated graphics than the 345008:13
johndoesssno idea how intel did it, but the 2500k & 2600k destroy all amd-cpus08:13
johndoesssalthough they are quite old already08:13
johndoesssbut i think the apu of the amd is better08:14
bartman2589I heard much the same about the 2700K too08:14
johndoesssthe integrated graphics are better on the amd's everything else is on intel08:14
bartman2589well intel is definitely not known for their graphics chipsets08:14
johndoesssamd is the way to go for low-power htpc08:15
johndoesssthought already to build a low-power htpc for streaming purposes08:16
bartman2589I'm looking to build something that I can use for some occasional online gaming and maybe some occasional work with Photoshop/GIMP/Blender/DAZ Studio (yes going to go with Windows on it when I do get it)08:16
johndoessswell blender should work on linux quite acceptable08:16
johndoesssbut photoshop should have problems due to 3d accelaration which is unsupported by wine iirc08:17
johndoesssatleast in newer versions of ps08:17
bartman2589yeah, but DAZ Studio doesn't, and neither does Poser (if I wanted to buy it to do figure modeling)08:17
bartman2589well I don't have a new enough version of PS to have to worry about that08:18
bartman2589I have an old copy of PS7 that I use08:18
johndoessswhich graphiccard would you than think of?08:18
johndoesssi guess the integrated wouldnt be that perfect08:19
bartman2589well to be honest I recently bought an nVidia GT520 with 2Gb pretty cheap ($59 after $20 rebate), but I probably should have bought something a little more powerful, but I can at least use it as a 'stepping stone' for now08:20
bartman2589several people told me I should have bought an nvidia GT430 instead because it has twice the number of cores as the GT520 even if they usually don't have as much memory08:21
johndoesssmemory isnt that important.08:23
johndoesss1gb ist quite enough08:23
johndoessseven the newer ones are still coming out with 1gb08:23
bartman2589yeah, just thought at the time that since Second Life is so heavy when it comes to textures that the extra memory would come in handy, only later did I find out that SL can only use up to 512Mb of video memory08:25
bartman2589either way for now it does what I need for a halfway decent price, eventually I'll replace it and use it in a new linux box along with the motherboard and processor that's currently in my Windows machine (AMD Athlon64-4200x2, dual core)08:27
bartman2589but it's still better than most onboard video, so even when I build my new system I can still put it to good use08:28

ghostchick2013Lol, 2 years ago i was a baby   chick10:53
ghostchick2013I love learning though10:53
ghostchick2013generally errors messages are very informative though10:54
Guest94360Now that you mention that I guess I should have looked up what Zesty was...I assumed it was an error in the script calling on a "zesty" command or something...any worth while books I should get?10:55
Guest94360or Zenity10:56
Guest94360:P10:56
ghostchick2013cute (sorry i love calling guys cute )10:57
ghostchick2013don't used books much , but as a tip use fizsh , fish or zsh as an user shell10:58
ghostchick2013you will love it10:58
Guest94360lol no worries, I like being called cute rather than a dummy :) You made my day, and I am looking up fizsh now! Thanks again11:00

Mothey folks, just completed a command line install of kubuntu and got to the point where i needed to install grub14:04
Moti am running hw raid (from my mobo) and have a raid 1 array with windows 7 installed14:05
Motthe system installed fine but i could not install grub to /dev/sda (it kept failing) and even the suggested /dev/mapper directory - ideas?14:05
Moteverything i see on google is written from the vantage point of setting up a raid array within the kubuntu installer, not installing onto an existing array....14:05

phoenix_firebrdMot: raid14:38
phoenix_firebrdMot: does a hw raid show as a single drive to the operating system or multiple?14:40
Motsingle drive14:41
phoenix_firebrdMot: that means the software is not aware of only single drive right?14:41
phoenix_firebrdMot: i mean aware of14:41
Motcorrect14:42
Motit's hw raid that i setup in a bios option rom for my intel controller on my mobo14:42
phoenix_firebrdMot: is there any error like flexnet during grub install?14:43
Motthe error just says quite simply that grub failed to install on /dev/hda14:43
Motand then suggests i install it on /dev/mapper (which i attempt, but that also fails as well)14:43
Mothowever, when i reboot the machine, it boots into the grub rescue prompt14:43

phoenix_firebrdMot: one of  the known problems caused by windows is that adobe uses the boot sector to store some info using some program called flexnet that causes problem with grub14:47
Motadobe what?14:47
phoenix_firebrdMot: probably flash14:47
Moti don't have acrobat installed, just flash14:48
Mothmm okay14:48
Motwell...14:48
Motwhat if i install linux first, then reinstall windows and boot windows exclusively thru grub?14:48
Motor will flexnet still be tickling my mbr and corrupting stuff?14:49
ghostchick2013any tip for a windows not showing up after running up  update-grub?14:49
phoenix_firebrdMot: check if there is verbose switch for the grub install command , that may provide some info about the install fail14:49
Motyea, will do, thanks...i'll tackle this tomorrow when i'm rested14:49
Mothave a good night - thanks for your help14:49
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: you might have over written the windows boot sector14:49

phoenix_firebrdMot: gn14:50
ghostchick2013phoenix_firebrd,  it is not for me lol14:50
ghostchick2013phoenix_firebrd, yeah goood idea, any way  to fix it back simply or i just  send you the person concerned14:51
ghostchick2013phoenix_firebrd,  i do warn you his english and ubuntu skills and lvl is hellish14:51
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: before installing grub we should select the partition other than the windows one and flag it as boot and then we can install grub there14:51
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: no problem, i will try to manage14:52
ghostchick2013phoenix_firebrd,  i know as i said it not for me14:52
ghostchick2013i used at that time easybcd or something like that as my pc was tatooed14:53
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: Did he backup his system?14:53
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: i tried easybcd once14:54
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: but the install cd is sufficient14:54
ghostchick2013phoenix_firebrd,  in my case my laptop was tatooed by the manufacturers so i had no choice14:55
phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: you mean windows came preinstalled?14:56
mokushhow does kubuntu set the default wallpaper?15:12
BluesKajmokush, right click on the desktop , "default desktop settings"15:13
ghostchick2013you mean in new created desktops?15:13
mokushBluesKaj: I mean from a script or something. when it used to use a different wallpaper than vanilla kde15:14
BluesKajghostchick2013, what do you mean "my laptop was tatooed by the manufacturers so i had no choice" ?15:14
iliyaHi guys! Small question - I'm using KDE with dolphin as my file manager. What can I do so that it shows file transfer rates (like in Vista\Win7)?15:15
BluesKajmokush,, opent eh dwsktop settings and choose wallpaper from a file then , click the "Open" button15:16
Smurphyiliya: It already shows it - only it shows it in the ntofication area15:16
iliyais there a way to show it near the progress bar?15:16
mokushBluesKaj: I need to do it from script, automaticly when creating a new activity.15:16
Smurphyiliya: checking ...15:17
iliyathanks!15:17
iliyabtw, how do I cancel a transfer?15:18
BluesKajmokush, ok , i don't activities ...they seem redundant to me15:18
mokushBluesKaj: basicly I need to set a wallpaper from a script/plasma-script/shell-script whatever15:18
BluesKajmokush, you could run a script in startup&shutdown in system settings15:19
BluesKajwhy you need a script for wall paper is beyond me , mokush15:20
iliyaBluesKaj:  perhaps he wants to randomize them, or invoke it remotely (or something like that)15:22
Smurphyiliya: Cancelling a transfer - by clicking on the Notification area, see the active job, and interrupt.15:22
mokushBluesKaj: problem is, I don't know how to do it from a script. only right now somebody has opened a review-request for a dbus interface for changeing wallpapers, but it's going to be avaialbe only in 4.1015:22
SmurphyCan't display the download speed like in windows though. didn't find anything ...15:22
iliyaOk, thanks again!15:23
Smurphynp15:23
BluesKajill maybe you could suggest something , i have no use for the sctivities thing , perhaps because i don';t understand it and never tried to use it for anything that I need15:23
iliyais there maybe an option to put a cancel button near the transfer bar?15:23
BluesKajiliya,^15:24
iliya(the windows file transfer dialog is quite convenient)15:24
iliyahow can I tell if the OS recognizes my external HDD as being connected via usb3?15:26
ghostchick2013Smurphy,  in the notification icon when downloading click on it it will show the speed normally15:27
Smurphyghostchick2013: It was iliya who asked ;)15:27
iliya:)15:28
ghostchick2013Smurphy,  sorry , kinda tired15:29
BluesKajghostchick2013, ok thanks , but i can read french quite well, since i live in Canada , so you can't install ubuntu beside windows due the bios setup , can ghost the windows image to another drive install kubuntu , the repave the image on a partition beside it15:30

phoenix_firebrdghostchick2013: here is the log of the conversation between me and arjun, i have given the steps to solve his issue, guide him http://paste.kde.org/510374/16:03
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, are you sure the windows mbr will be listed in grub after the procedure you posted above , remind him to run sudo update-grub after booting into kubuntu if windows didn't show up in the grub menu16:26
BluesKajor ubuntu , whichever desktop16:27
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: eating, 15 min16:28
BluesKajnot to worry , just a reminder16:28
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: i am back16:42
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, my post above is all I have to say16:43
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: the windows recovery environment will overwrite the grub mbr, so it will be listed during the grub install16:43
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: since we are installing grub newly, it will update automatically so no need for grub update, as far as i know16:44
BluesKajlike i said , if windows doesn't list , sudo update-grub , that's what i had to do after a windows install and fixing grub with the live cd16:47
als-it-net-pcokay, see you...16:49
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: update-grub  updates the grub configuration, so during installation of grub, it will scan for the OSs including windows and it will be listed if the windows boot records are intact16:52
BluesKajyes phoenix_firebrd , I'm aware of that , that's why i did the grub update16:53
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: ok16:54

`wookiehad ubuntu studio 12.04 installed on my laptop, and after trying to use freeBSD and ghostBSD live installs it started having drive mounting problems. so i tried reinstalling to see if it would fix itself. nope. from then on it wouldn't take a linux installation of anything, even after completely deleting all partitions and starting from scratch. i was thinking it was a MBR problem like i've read in some forums of freeBSD messing up booting problems, but today19:06
