Ephos | I came in here to ask for help, but I just solved my own problem | 01:54 |
poetic_algebra | gj =] | 01:55 |
Ephos | For anyone else experiencing the same issue as I was, anyone with an AMD card running propietary drivers, and your HDMI is overscanning, try "sudo aticonfig --set-dispattrib=dfpX,sizeX/Y:number" using xrandr to find out what your display name is. | 01:56 |
Ephos | And then at the end ",positionX/Y:0" | 01:56 |
Ephos | My display was a square in the middle of my screen surrounded by six inch black borders after I installed my AMD drivers. :[ | 01:56 |
Ephos | I've never had an OS before where I'd use a command-line at least twenty times a day | 01:57 |
Daskreech | Ephos: how did you find that out? | 02:11 |
Daskreech | Ephos: I used Windows 3.1 does that count? :) | 02:11 |
poetic_algebra | same here, Daskreech =] | 02:12 |
poetic_algebra | dir/w =P | 02:12 |
Daskreech | having poked fun. I do really like the command line and other than the painful memory burden I think it's an elegant method of communication | 02:13 |
poetic_algebra | yeah; I love it for lots of things, dislike it for more complicated things | 02:13 |
poetic_algebra | like, complicated things that belong in a gui | 02:13 |
Ephos | Daskreech, I typed aticonfig into konsole | 02:23 |
Ephos | Then I read slowly | 02:23 |
* Daskreech husg Ephos with tears in his eyes | 02:24 | |
Daskreech | Someone who reads! | 02:24 |
Daskreech | poetic_algebra: what belongs in a gui? I've found one thing that I can't do pretty well on the command line | 02:24 |
Ephos | I think anything that requires more than four/five commands in the terminal probably needs a gui | 02:26 |
poetic_algebra | Daskreech: I think Ephos has the right idea | 02:28 |
Daskreech | Ephos: depends on the context. | 02:29 |
poetic_algebra | you can do everything in the cli, but it's not always the most efficient or convenient method | 02:29 |
Ephos | Installing Oracle Java was a PITA.. someone made a repository with an installer package, and they got huge <3s from me for that | 02:29 |
Ephos | https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java | 02:30 |
poetic_algebra | sometimes you just want a tic box rather than a long command | 02:30 |
poetic_algebra | like, an example | 02:30 |
poetic_algebra | you can color the terminal prompt | 02:31 |
poetic_algebra | but it's a string of hard-to-remember symbols | 02:31 |
poetic_algebra | it'd just be easier to go Preferences --> color command prompt, and select a color | 02:31 |
Daskreech | poetic_algebra: agreed but I think more things are easily done with a single extendable core than the rainbow coloured playroom that GUIs can be | 02:31 |
poetic_algebra | yeah, trust me, I love the cli; it just isn't perfect for everything | 02:32 |
Daskreech | Ephos: Yeah packaging is so great. I'm glad the rest of the world is slowly starting to catch on | 02:32 |
poetic_algebra | I prefer to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade over using the gui, because it's silly to commit the resources to that | 02:32 |
poetic_algebra | and the load time is so much more | 02:32 |
Daskreech | poetic_algebra: Oh no. It's not but I prefer it as a base with GUIs where it makes sense than GUIs and CLI's as a workaround (See Windows) | 02:32 |
poetic_algebra | ah, yes, I'm in strong agreement there | 02:33 |
=== ashkan is now known as arch | ||
poetic_algebra | one of these days I'd love to wade into the arch waters, speaking of cli =] | 02:34 |

=== bumblebee_ is now known as falcogw | ||
falcogw | did not have that problem on gnome, but now i do with kubuntu | 11:51 |
=== iroh is now known as Bradley23 | ||
Bradley23 | how do i set up kubuntu so that when i connect my two computers (both with kubuntu) with an ethernet cable, that i can transfer files between the two. i am having a hard time finding concise information that isnt overwhelming. | 11:54 |
BluesKaj | falcogw, you installed bumblebee in ubuntu or kubuntu ? It shouldn't make any differnce | 11:55 |
falcogw | BluesKaj: first i did in ubuntu gnome, now i switched to kubuntu and started over, now i got that error when i try to start the ui | 11:56 |
falcogw | but appindicator is not something from bumblebee, but from ubuntu no? | 11:56 |
falcogw | isnt that some python-module or something? | 11:56 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, checkout networkik in dolphin , then choose add network folder , use secure shell option , that's best for 2 linux pcs | 11:57 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: it asks for a lot of information of which i know very little. name, user port, encoding etc. is there a good step by step guide that can help me to understand what it is asking? | 11:59 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, , are you going thru a router/modem to the internet and local network ? | 12:01 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: no. i was hoping to be able to connect the two laptops (one i use as a desktop replacement) and the other i take to class. i would like to be able to put an ethernet cable in between and have them recognize each others home files. | 12:03 |
Bradley23 | i am connected to the internet but it is through wifi on my roommate's router | 12:03 |
mydogsnameisrudy | BluesKaj: is that like mapping a drive folder? | 12:04 |
BluesKaj | dunno about an ethernet cable between 2 machines , Bradley23 , mydogsnameisrudy ...the ethernet port looks for internet protocols afaik ,a crossover cable would be best in that setup | 12:06 |
jds | apt-get install eclipse -> Will this install Eclipse 4.2? | 12:08 |
mydogsnameisrudy | hmmm the wifes computer has no close button in the upper corner just min and max no x to close window? | 12:09 |
szal | jds: apt-cache showpkg eclipse <- should tell you what version is in the repos | 12:11 |
jds | Okay got it. | 12:12 |
jds | Is there a way to install 4.2 via apt-get? | 12:12 |
BluesKaj | too bad he left , the ethernet crossover apparently is supposed to work , I always thought the data ports were needed for that . | 12:12 |
BluesKaj | jds, look in your package manager | 12:13 |
jds | I'm looking right now. Just seeing 3.7 here | 12:13 |
iroh | i am here. i was fiddling with the network | 12:14 |
=== iroh is now known as Bradley23 | ||
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: i am here. i was fiddling with the network. i didnt realize it changed the name of everything | 12:15 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: the laptop and the desktop have the same name. that might be the problem. | 12:17 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, you still need the IP address of the the target machine , do ifconfig on that laptop , look for inet addr:192.168.,X,XX ...same name perhaps but they'll have diiferent IPs , should matter | 12:18 |
falcogw | Hi I found this about appindicator, how can i install it in kubuntu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-appindicator | 12:18 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: k. | 12:19 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, ifconfig in the terminal | 12:19 |
Bradley23 | is it the hwaddress? | 12:22 |
BluesKaj | falcogw, libappindicator0 is in the repos in your package manager | 12:22 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, is there no inet address ? | 12:25 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, make sure the ethernet cable is connected between the laptops | 12:26 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: yes. the connections are firm. | 12:28 |
BluesKaj | falcogw, look in muon in kmenu> apps>system>muon | 12:28 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: i get a HWaddress and 7 other lines. | 12:28 |
BluesKaj | okmwhat's the hw address ? | 12:29 |
BluesKaj | you need the username and password for the target laptop as well the HW address (which I assume subs for the inet in this case) , use port 22 for secure shell (ssh) ,and the target /home folder would be a good choice | 12:32 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, ^ | 12:33 |
bumblebee_ | BluesKaj: Thanks, found it :) | 12:36 |
=== iroh is now known as Bradley23 | ||
Bradley23 | sorry. i keep getting changed to iroh | 12:37 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: 1c:75:08:1d:fe:4e | 12:38 |
BluesKaj | ok Bradley23 , I'll repost you need the username and password for the target laptop as well the HW address (which I assume subs for the inet in this case) , use port 22 for secure shell (ssh) ,and the target /home folder would be a good choice | 12:38 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, normally port 22 is already the default when secure shell is chosen | 12:40 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, you shold see an inet address, he address is hardware address , inet is probly on the second line in ifconfig | 12:43 |
BluesKaj | hw + hardware ..we don't need that | 12:43 |
Joit | does someone know how it works, that a newer version from a package makes it into the the distro? like crystalspace 1.4, newer one is cs-2.0. | 12:43 |
BluesKaj | hw=hardwarw | 12:43 |
Joit | hw adress also has an other appearance, ip = 000.xxx.xxx hw = 00:00:00 | 12:45 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: yes. it is port 22. i put in the inet6 addy but get the error <<Unable to connect to server. Please check your settings and try again.>> | 12:46 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, not the inet6 , use one like this , inet addr:192.168..X.XX | 12:48 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: ok it is in the wlan0 data. | 12:49 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, can you pastebin you ifconfig result | 12:49 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: something is happening really slowly. | 12:50 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: it looks like a sftp connection is trying to form according to the notification widget | 12:51 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, yes that's misleading , i get that too | 12:52 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, are both laptops connected to the same network ? | 12:53 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: i just took the desktop replacement off of wifi. | 12:54 |
BluesKaj | if both laptops are on wifi you can connect very easily . this crossover cable complicates things if the laptops are still connected to a network , try one connection or the other , but not both | 12:56 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: now i am getting the error <<No route to host.>> | 12:58 |

BluesKaj | Bradley23, where are you ?...I might be sleeping | 13:02 |
Joit | BluesKaj: i played once a bit around, what i have seen, you sometimes need crossed cables | 13:02 |
Joit | different to the one what you can buy, i manually made them | 13:02 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: boise idaho: | 13:03 |
Joit | but i didnt get it now, if he want do a wireless connection or a connections with cables | 13:03 |
BluesKaj | yeah jolt you probly mean dataport | 13:03 |
Bradley23 | north american mountain time -- i think it is -7 or -8 utc. | 13:04 |
Bradley23 | it is 7 am and i have to be somewhere at 10 am. | 13:04 |
Joit | strange anyway by me, i tried to connect yesterday to my pther pc too, i got a dsl router, i can ping the linux machine, but from linux to window i got all time timeout | 13:04 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, I'm in Ontario Canada...ok i'll be around this evening ..T still think just connecting by wifi without crossovers is best | 13:05 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: okay. i am still a beginner with most of this. i was told that ethernet was faster than wifi. but at this point whatever works. | 13:05 |
Joit | depends on your card, wifi should support 50 mb/sec, some cards support 10/mb, some 100mb/sec | 13:06 |
Joit | and the router mostly only support 10mb/sec | 13:06 |
BluesKaj | ethernet is faster but wifi is also physically more easily done as well , | 13:06 |
Joit | so when wireless even would work with 50/mb/sec, then its still restricted from the router | 13:07 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23,^ ...have a good one | 13:07 |
Joit | gbye bradley Hurry!! | 13:07 |
Joit | :D | 13:07 |
Bradley23 | BluesKaj: okay i will be back this evening. have a good night. and thank you again. | 13:07 |
Bradley23 | thank you joit also | 13:07 |
BluesKaj | Bradley23, np :) | 13:07 |
BluesKaj | jolt , well wifi is so handy . no fooling around with cables etc | 13:08 |
Joit | yes, but i still had my issues with wifi, i was at all mostly faster to only connect my cables | 13:08 |
Joit | and i dont like the radiation from it | 13:09 |
Joit | i do not use wifi when i dont need it | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | ... | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | the "radiation" from wifi is no more than that of a radio | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | actually... | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | a microwave gives off more | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | so does a TV | 13:09 |
FloodBotK1 | TheLordOfTime: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:09 |
TheLordOfTime | silence you! | 13:10 |
Joit | i dont care, and its probatly not the ammount, but the frequency. also when i have allready a tv and a radio and my neighbour too, then i dont need to add one more source | 13:10 |
Joit | sure its handy, but there probatly could be other ways for wifi's | 13:11 |
Joit | i dont trust the science anyway :) when they tell you, what is dangerous or what not | 13:12 |
Joit | same with the cellphones, it only makes me uh oh, rly | 13:12 |
Joit | but back to the wireless, its true, they are simple to set, usual you only need the key at the router and there you go | 13:13 |
* TheLordOfTime doesnt particularly care | 13:13 | |
TheLordOfTime | your loss, IMO, but idc | 13:13 |
Joit | my loss? what are you talking about | 13:14 |
Joit | that my brain get not toasted ? | 13:14 |
* TheLordOfTime points out you're drifting into offtopicness | 13:15 | |
Joit | when you work with hard connections then it is not much more work as with wifi | 13:15 |
Joit | it just does not work anywhere, or is handy to have cables laying around | 13:18 |
Joit | BluesKaj: probatly he has to set something in his router? i got a new box lately where the access to the other machines must be set. you can use the net from it, but not the local netwrok | 13:19 |
BluesKaj | I don't have a problem with wifi ..i have technical background in electronics and other related fields , all the BS about wifi being dangerous in the schools shows a lack of knowledge about rf energy | 13:19 |
TheLordOfTime | BluesKaj: wives tales too, dont forget about those :P | 13:20 |
Joit | well, i simple dont trust it, you cant estimate the long term damage really. and thats where they lack to provide it | 13:21 |
BluesKaj | jolt I have a local network with wifi setup here at home , I'll halp him set his up when he has the time to do so | 13:21 |
Joit | there are a lot natural sources from raaditation no question, but the one what they give us, no thanks | 13:21 |
Joit | BluesKaj: did you had to configure your router ? | 13:22 |
Joit | and sometimes it first start working, when you got at last one shared folder at both machines | 13:22 |
BluesKaj | jolt , no just the laptop and pc IPs and pws with ssh using the network folder option in dolphin network ..I can also ssh directly from the terminal | 13:23 |
Joit | BluesKaj: any idea why my linux machine cant ping my windows machine over the router? | 13:24 |
Joit | probatly he didnt set anythin right now, you will probatly figure it out later :) | 13:25 |
BluesKaj | at one time when my family was visiting a christmas we had 3 windows laptops a macbook and my 3 pcs all on the network simultaneously | 13:25 |
Joit | heh, sounds like fun | 13:26 |
BluesKaj | jolt , do have access to your router settings | 13:26 |
Joit | yes | 13:26 |
Joit | i do | 13:26 |
BluesKaj | then use the windows IP to ping | 13:26 |
Joit | i did that, | 13:27 |
Joit | and it pings once then timeouts | 13:27 |
L3top | Hi BluesKaj... not on linux unfortunately. | 13:27 |
L3top | BluesKaj: sorry... misread that... crossover yes... crossfire (ATI) no | 13:27 |
Joit | err, it doesnt even reach it once, just start to send it | 13:28 |
BluesKaj | L3top, ok thanks ..i think we'llprobly make him realize that using the wifi is a lot less cumbersome | 13:28 |
Joit | ahaha, figured it out, my firewall did block it, commodo is not bad :) | 13:29 |
BluesKaj | L3top, but if you're around this evening , we may need your expertise , maybe a crossover cable is the only option. I'm not sure about the setup . | 13:30 |
L3top | turns out most modern nics do autoswitching now... so if one or both nics autoswitch you can just use regular cables. | 13:30 |
* L3top just learned this trying to figure out how someones setup was working at all | 13:31 | |
BluesKaj | L3top,yes ethernet , I thought was talking dataport | 13:31 |
BluesKaj | I didn't know cat5/6 would work | 13:31 |
* L3top is just wiping boogers from eyes. Gets coffee | 13:32 | |
Nicekiwi | I cant kill a windows thats open, help? | 13:37 |
BluesKaj | jolt do you have any shared dirs on the the target pc , especially windows requires shared folders to be accessible from linux | 13:38 |
BluesKaj | oops , not a good explanation there , windows requires folders to be in the shared mode so one can access them from or even other windows pcs | 13:40 |
BluesKaj | Nicekiwi, is it an application or a folder? | 13:42 |
Nicekiwi | BluesKaj: an application | 13:42 |

thecaptain2000 | if, from there, I try to go to root prompt, I am left with a readonly filesystem so I can't touch anything | 17:44 |
AlexZion | why you can't touch anything ?, you should as a root | 17:44 |
thecaptain2000 | because if you go to the root prompt you are left with a readonly filesystem | 17:45 |
thecaptain2000 | I currently on kde having booted from a cdrom and mounted the filesystem, so I have access to it, but I am running short of ideas | 17:45 |
AlexZion | ok , so the only way it should be to use a live system and chroot the installed one .... | 17:46 |
AlexZion | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ChrootRecovery | 17:46 |
AlexZion | maybe thisone is better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery | 17:49 |
thecaptain2000 | tx I am having a look at it now | 17:53 |
AlexZion | you're welcome .... | 17:54 |

Daskreech | thecaptain2000: Problem solved! | 18:55 |
Daskreech | :) | 18:55 |
thecaptain2000 | Daskreech: yuip, and it was a nasty one, I hadn't touched that stuf for a while, it is amazed how much it has chnaged.... | 18:56 |
Daskreech | thecaptain2000: Yeah I forget sometimes how drastic change is in the Linux World. | 18:58 |
thecaptain2000 | btw, since solutions... drive you into new problems. I am gaving problems with ati drivers (fglrx) used together with visual effects. when resizing a window, more often than not, part of the resized window has a black bloc covering what it should be displaying | 18:59 |
thecaptain2000 | I had uised the radeon driver for wuite some time but.... fglrx is actually way faster when runnnnning win apps in wine. any tips to get sround it? | 18:59 |
thecaptain2000 | *around it | 19:00 |
Daskreech | Maybe ask in #kwin ? | 19:01 |
thecaptain2000 | is there a #kwin? omg, I have left this place alone for too long :) | 19:04 |
Daskreech | If you think of it there probably is a # for it | 19:06 |

BarkingFish | Guys, quick question for you. Is it possible to set the refresh rate of your monitor to be higher than KResize&Rotate says you can go? | 20:21 |
BarkingFish | Mine only goes up to 75.1Hz, I need to set it above 85Hz or it's gonna be no good to me | 20:22 |
BarkingFish | The monitor supports up to 90Hz, the graphics card is happy up to 100Hz | 20:22 |

iharp | How can I find out if 12.04 supports an ATI radeon 9200 SE without running a live cd or installing it to my hard drive? | 23:16 |
iharp | I'm on a another computer so lspci -nn | grep VGA won't work. | 23:17 |
Daskreech | iharp: Google? | 23:44 |
Daskreech | iharp: What kind of support are you looking for? | 23:44 |
