[07:57] Then you need to run ibid, and tell it, "load greeter" [07:59] * Kilos looks [08:00] Kilos: where is your ibid.ini? [08:00] in home superfly [08:00] with ibid.db [08:02] right, then make a directory called "ibid" in there. [08:02] done [08:04] and one called ibid.plugin in that one?

[17:05] To create their own OS named GNOME OS [17:05] To fix issues they have with their API [17:05] Somehow their logic is questionable... === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [18:01] hehehe [18:03] gnome needs to rewrite gtk in C++ and then rewrite all their apparently in C++ to match in order to fix issues in their API - C was never meant to have objects [18:11] I loved gnome... but I don't know what on earth they are doing at the moment. Keeping distance for a while :P [18:11] i like the gnome stack [18:11] that's about it [18:13] sighs [18:19] greeter works kiff superfly ty [18:20] naand nuvolari [18:22] if you ever have to look at the code required to do GTK apps, you'll want to run and hide. it is hideously awfully painfully disgusting. it offends the developer in me. [18:22] by contrast, working with Qt's flavour of C++ is like living the dream [18:25] Kilos: I am now [18:26] lol i just wanted to check if there was anything else to add in to sudo passwd [18:27] 'spose you figured it out? [18:28] nope the password didnt change [18:28] its kubuntu by ian [18:28] wouldnt get past password [18:28] sudo passwd would change root's password, sudo passwd would change username's password and passwd would change your user's password [18:29] ty Squirm [18:30] if you're unsure [18:30] sudo passwd [18:31] ty Squirm [18:31] hi Banlam [18:31] heya Kilos [18:31] hi oom Kilos :) [18:31] gaan dit goed vanaand oom?

[18:43] Iany: it starts to load, going into the loading page before the desktop, then gets half way, I see that by the icons that appear and kicks back to user name password page [18:45] Kilos: he can try dropping down to the command line and reinstalling the kubuntu-desktop package [18:45] it says package not found [18:47] it does, kubuntu doesn't exist without it === Banlam_ is now known as Banlam [18:48] spell it right [18:48] or latest one installed i think [18:48] he is trying again [18:48] we tried lots of things [18:48] and "reinstall" not install [18:49] he hasnt installed aptitude so it apt-get install kubuntu-desktop --reinstall hey [18:50] uh, maybe. I'm not at my over right now [18:50] PC not over [18:50] stupid autocorrect [18:50] it is already the newest version [18:51] im sure it is reinstall after package [18:51] --reinstall [18:52] not possible, it cannot be downloaded [18:52] it comes on the cd [18:53] and then how we do it [18:53] is there a gdebi goody in kubuntu [18:53] and you can reinstall it, I just did it the other day when I had those problems, remember? [18:54] the reinstall command wants to go online superfly [18:54] not net at home there [18:54] put the cd in [18:54] yes [18:55] make sure you have the CD in your sources.list file (it's usually the firs line) [18:56] how will he see that if he cant boot [18:57] he *can* boot, he just can't log into kde. there's an option on the login screen to log in on the console [18:58] ah ok ill tell him [18:58] this is not windows!

I think you can get them over the counter [19:54] Kilos: he can put a # in front of the http lines, and then apt-get update with the CD in and it'll index the CD [19:54] he is on meds now but the doc says it will take 2 years to heal [19:54] eish, OK [19:55] some bird virus that destroyed his lungs [19:56] been there for years [19:56] but he left it till he could hardly breathe before going to doc [19:56] breathes in little puffs [20:00] ok he is doing that [20:00] Iany: there are hundreds of these http lines, on how many must I do it?
