| superdreamkilla | I've been using konqueror for a while, and today it starting saying "The requested operation could not be completed" on every page I attempt to open. If I click the reload button, then the page will be displayed. What's going on? | 00:32 |
| vonkleist_ | what version of kde are you using? | 00:35 |
| vonkleist_ | better... what version of kubuntu are you using? | 00:35 |
| superdreamkilla | 4.3.2 | 00:36 |
| superdreamkilla | for kde | 00:36 |
| superdreamkilla | 9.10 for kubuntu | 00:37 |
| superdreamkilla | I attempted to do apt-get dist-upgrade, but for each file it attempts to download, I get a 404 error | 00:39 |
| superdreamkilla | if I attempt the upgrade through the package manager, I get an exit with code 127 | 00:41 |
| EvilRoey | hey all | 00:48 |
| EvilRoey | question: I have music on my server. I am on my laptop and I wish to stream music from it and play or even control it through Amarok on my laptop. What software do I use to accomplish this? | 00:48 |
| vonkleist_ | I think 9.10 is out of support | 00:49 |
| superdreamkilla | what should I do? | 00:50 |
| vonkleist_ | try running do-release-upgrade | 00:50 |
| vonkleist_ | if works, it'll take you to 12.04 | 00:51 |
| superdreamkilla | i think it will just give me the 404 error, couldn't download files | 00:52 |
| superdreamkilla | i'll try | 00:52 |
| vonkleist_ | The 404 error maybe is because there's no more karmic on repositories | 00:57 |
| vonkleist_ | do-release-upgrade should take you to the latest version, no matter which one is it | 00:57 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | superdreamkilla | 00:57 |
| ubottu | superdreamkilla: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 00:57 |
| vonkleist_ | cool | 00:58 |
| vonkleist_ | thanx bazhang | 00:58 |
| superdreamkilla | that makes sense for the 404, but I was thinking I could have had some weird error in my internet config, since I had the browser error | 00:59 |
| superdreamkilla | do-release-upgrade is working so far | 01:00 |
| vonkleist_ | oh, good | 01:01 |
| superdreamkilla | yes, thank you | 01:01 |
| vonkleist_ | maybe you could try running konqueror inside a command line, and see if it shows something else | 01:02 |

| MySystem1 | a question if i have 2 partitions with same uid (a clone) and i set the hidden flag for the ones which i don't want to be mounted is this enough? | 01:04 |
| MySystem1 | dont want to try because its / and /home | 01:04 |
| vonkleist_ | MySystem1, if you don't want a partition to be mounted at boot time, just disable it from /etc/fstab | 01:08 |
| MySystem1 | thats the problem i want that it is mounted (i need / and /home) but i dont want both partitions (the clone) to be mounted and in fstab is the mount option with uid and dont want to mount via /dev/sdxx | 01:10 |
| vonkleist_ | Oh, got it | 01:11 |
| MySystem1 | my idea was the hidden flag for partitions | 01:12 |
| MySystem1 | but is this enough because if i restat and mount dont know what to mount i dont have a / or /home so no boot | 01:12 |
| MySystem1 | if it helps my fstab http://pastebin.com/1a5n5EAx | 01:14 |
| MySystem1 | ok i will have a try if it dont works i remove the clone hd and first find a solution | 01:21 |
| c2tarun | my idle laptop screen is going black in just 35 seconds :( I disabled it from every where. | 01:25 |

| MySystem | ok it seems to work all partitions i wanted are mounted the only strange thing is that i see the clone partitions in dolphin but this isnt a problem | 01:47 |
| c2tarun | MySystem: clone partition? | 01:49 |
| MySystem | yes i cloned 2 partitions to another hd because of possible errors but then i get that this was the wrong hd and now i have the orginal partitions and the clones with same uid and fstab mount is via uid so i flagged the clone as hidden but dolphin sees the hidden partitions but my kubuntu starts and mounts the rhigt partitions from the org hd | 01:54 |
| MySystem | so how do mount or the prog that interprets fstab figure out which uid is the right | 01:58 |
| vonkleist_ | MySystem, why don't you try changing the UUID por the new partition? | 02:06 |
| MySystem | one reason for because if the old 80gb org sys hd crash i only have to reinstall grub and nothing else but realy this isnt't such important so how do i change a uid | 02:07 |
| vonkleist_ | http://nixcraft.com/shell-scripting/948-change-uuid-ext3-partition.html | 02:08 |
| MySystem | ok very nice and easy | 02:11 |
| MySystem | think i have to run the cmd as root but in kubuntu i dont have a real root user so i cant su at which places do i need to add the sudo (dont know all comands of this line:"uuidgen | xargs tune2fs /dev/hdaX -U ; vol_id /dev/hdaX") | 02:14 |
| MySystem | ok my fault it works with "uuidgen | sudo xargs tune2fs /dev/sdd4 -U ; sudo vol_id /dev/sdd4" the only prob was i tried sdd1 which is a ntfs | 02:25 |
| MySystem | very nice know there are no conflicts and all working right lot of thx for this | 02:29 |
| MySystem | another complete different question i want to mute and unmute line-in from soundcard via console is there a way that i can use in a script | 02:30 |
| vonkleist_ | try amixer | 02:33 |
| MySystem | this could work what a nice prog there a values i have never read | 02:36 |

| loli_stoner | ya | 04:00 |
| c2tarun | loli_stoner: what does xset do? | 04:00 |
| loli_stoner | that command will disable dpms energy star | 04:00 |
| loli_stoner | you can see what your current settings are by running "xset -q" | 04:00 |
| c2tarun | loli_stoner: did that lets wait :( | 04:01 |
| loli_stoner | k | 04:01 |
| c2tarun | loli_stoner: it seems it worked :) thanks a lot, what is dpms by the way | 04:02 |
| loli_stoner | it's energy star | 04:03 |
| loli_stoner | basically you have your computer set to go into energy saving mode every 35 seconds | 04:03 |
| c2tarun | ohh.... | 04:03 |
| loli_stoner | i had the same problem randomly once although for me it turned off exactly every 3 seconds | 04:03 |

| c2tarun | you mean off:66 is to turn off monitor in 66sec? | 05:57 |
| loli_stoner | i guess | 05:57 |
| loli_stoner | try running "xset dpms 21600 32400 43200" to get it to the same settings as mine | 05:58 |
| c2tarun | done :( no luck, sorry I have to leave for work, I'll try to look and man page there might be some place for configuration. | 05:59 |

| hateball | Mailman: it's in global hotkey settings for kwin | 09:46 |
| hateball | unbound by default | 09:46 |
| hateball | and also you cant use meta as anything but modifier key (at least not by default) | 09:46 |
| shadeslayer | tcberner: maybe, you could do : sudo apt-get install foo=bar | 09:50 |

| Cormann | hello all having a bit of a problem with desktop 12.04 LTS of Kubuntu. It boots but will not load x I look thru the log file and it seems to be having some sort of a problem with my nvidia video card. anyone know an easy answer? | 11:04 |
| Cormann | I'm currently downloading the ubuntu desktop same version to see if the problem is with KDE or something else | 11:05 |
| lordievader | Cormann: Have you installed the driver for your card? | 11:06 |
| Cormann | I am running the desktop CD boot and run or so it says | 11:07 |
| Cormann | It boots, I get the start screen then it errors out to the cli for kbuntu | 11:07 |
| lordievader | Cormann: You haven't installed it yet? | 11:07 |
| Cormann | No I am trying it out to see if I want to load it for dual boot or not | 11:07 |
| lordievader | Cormann: I see, what nVidia card do you have? | 11:08 |
| Cormann | gforce gt 426m its a laptop | 11:09 |
| Cormann | in the log it says it can not find the moduel nvidia then further down it says can not find the moduel nv and it tries to load the vesa module | 11:09 |
| lordievader | Cormann: It could be that your card is not supported by the default driver... | 11:10 |
| Cormann | wish I could pastebin the log for you, however I am on the laptop now and no way to send it when its booted to the cli and no conf to run anything | 11:10 |
| Cormann | very possibly | 11:10 |
| Cormann | however most if not all nvidia chipsets will work in vesa mode | 11:11 |
| Cormann | even at lower rez I could at least see if it will run on this machine | 11:11 |
| Cormann | tweeks can come later of course | 11:11 |
| lordievader | Cormann: I agree it should work. | 11:12 |
| Cormann | one would think so guess we shall see when I burn the ubuntu disk if I have the same issue, then its off to ubuntu forums hahah Thank you for your help however | 11:13 |
| Cormann | kubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso is the file I am using | 11:14 |
| lordievader | Cormann: No problem, hope you resolve your problem. | 11:14 |
| Cormann | the ubuntu one is 12.04.1 is that different? | 11:14 |
| Cormann | always a challenge, figure it out lol | 11:14 |
| lordievader | Cormann: There is no kubuntu 12.04.1? | 11:15 |
| lordievader | Cormann: If not you can update to 12.04.1 | 11:15 |

| lordievader | Cormann: That is not good to hear... | 11:32 |
| lordievader | Hey Solak, how are you? | 11:32 |
| * Solak was about to install kubuntu 12.04 on a system with that card... | 11:33 | |
| Cormann | well I am reading the thread I'll let you know if there is an answer | 11:33 |
| Cormann | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970682&highlight=desktop+cd+fails+with+nvidia+card | 11:33 |
| lordievader | Solak: Cormann has a different card, "gforce gt 426m" | 11:34 |
| Cormann | it looks like the installer recognizes the Nvidia card, then tries to load the open source Nouveau driver, and everything crashes | 11:34 |
| Solak | lordievader: oh. hmm. | 11:34 |
| lordievader | How nice. | 11:34 |
| Solak | lordievader: anyway, I first have to get a bootable cd :-) | 11:35 |
| Solak | lordievader: macos x complains that the .iso (64bit) is unmountable. | 11:35 |
| Cormann | I believe the plan is to release kernel updates 3 weeks after 12.04's release, which would be in mid-May. | 11:35 |
| lordievader | Solak: I'm sorry I don't have any experience with Mac's. | 11:36 |
| Cormann | This was posted in May, so perhaps the 12.04.1 is the fix? Will have to see, there is a work around if your installing it | 11:36 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:14 |
| Solak | hmm, 'start kubuntu' doesn't start, it ends with a blank screen and a flashing cursor (textmode) in the left upper corner... | 12:30 |
| pkt | does e.g., ubuntu desktop start? | 12:31 |
| Solak | no. | 12:31 |
| Solak | well, I have the KUbuntu amd64 install iso and I see the opening screen. | 12:32 |
| pkt | I mean did you also try the ubuntu flavor? | 12:32 |
| pkt | or xubuntu or anything else | 12:32 |
| lordievader | Solak: Are you still in the installing phase? | 12:32 |
| pkt | in order to know whether it is KDE that is causing your problem or e.g., a bad graphics card | 12:33 |
| Solak | lordievader: in the start installing phase (had other things to do in the meantime, like lunch ;)). | 12:34 |
| Solak | lordievader: I have the iso on dvd now, the dvd starts, but 'start kubuntu' ends like I just said... | 12:35 |
| lordievader | Solak: So where are you exactly? | 12:35 |
| pkt | It looks like the X server doesn't load | 12:35 |
| lordievader | Solak: Hitting escape doesn't show you that it is loading things? | 12:35 |
| pkt | if you end up in text mode with something blinking | 12:35 |
| Solak | yes, I remember when I joined the channel something about nvidia, and yes, it's a geforce gtx 550ti | 12:36 |
| lordievader | Solak: Before jumping to conclusions, have you verified the dvd/cd? | 12:36 |
| Solak | lordievader: macos x verified it, and I don't see how that would break of startup halfway. | 12:37 |
| Solak | pkt: no, only kubuntu... | 12:38 |
| lordievader | Solak: Macos x? What I more ment, have you tried it in another machine to see if that one does go past Grub. | 12:39 |
| pkt | Solak: I would try latest daily live of kubuntu quantal or if that doesn't work, the latest Fedora beta | 12:40 |
| pkt | (because of newer kernels) | 12:40 |
| Solak | lordievader: no, except for the macbook pro I don't have any other 64bit machines here. Looks like grub passes, the dvd-activity is quite a while before it stops. | 12:40 |
| pkt | when you get one to work, it is easy to backport the differences | 12:40 |
| pkt | if you can't get any livecd to boot all the way to X then be prepared for quite some work | 12:41 |
| pkt | (or waiting until somebody else does this work for you) | 12:42 |
| Solak | I could try debian stable .iso (64bits)... | 12:42 |
| lordievader | Solak: Hold on, I'm asking someone about the alternate live-cd, that might help you. | 12:43 |
| pkt | the alternate cd can indeed help you do the install if this is your goal | 12:45 |
| lordievader | Solak: This is what BluesKaj said: yes the alternate live cd is text based but also recognizes hardware that the regular cd doesn't. So check that out first. | 12:46 |
| pkt | The relevant is that it is text mode | 12:46 |
| lordievader | Agreed. | 12:46 |
| pkt | but I thought you were evaluating if Linux will work well in your hardware | 12:46 |
| lordievader | Solak: Are you? | 12:47 |
| Solak | yes, and someone told me to hook up the mainboard gfx-card as well... | 12:47 |
| pkt | yes | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, you sound fairly experienced . so the alternate cd is a good choice | 12:48 |
| pkt | usually that card would be some form of intel | 12:48 |
| pkt | so it should work | 12:48 |
| Solak | pkt: no, I just want to install it... I use linux over 10 years now, so I know what to expect :-) | 12:48 |
| pkt | ah ok then | 12:48 |
| pkt | by all means use the alternate cd :) | 12:48 |
| pkt | It will get the job done | 12:49 |
| Solak | first debian, later kubuntu... | 12:49 |
| lordievader | Solak: Hehe. | 12:49 |
| pkt | Solak: alternate cd is debian installer | 12:49 |
| pkt | so I 'm sure you are pretty familiar with this interface :) | 12:49 |
| lordievader | Solak: Debian offers the text-mode on their default cd. | 12:49 |
| Solak | hmmm. why doesn't have the normal installer a text-mode? :) | 12:50 |
| pkt | the "normal installer" is not really an installer so to speak | 12:50 |
| pkt | it copies the livecd wholesale | 12:50 |
| pkt | and then removes some stuff | 12:50 |
| Solak | ah, it is a livecd which also does install if really necessary? :) | 12:50 |
| pkt | yes | 12:50 |
| pkt | the alternate cd is like the debian install cds | 12:51 |
| pkt | the desktop cd is live | 12:51 |
| Solak | would it fit on a cd? | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | yes, very similar | 12:51 |
| pkt | Solak: it is like the first debian install cd | 12:51 |
| pkt | not the whole archive of course :) | 12:51 |
| Solak | no :) | 12:51 |
| Solak | but there are geforce proprietary drivers, so if I have textmode first it should not be too hard to get it working... | 12:56 |
| pkt | if the proprietary drivers work for you then yes, no problem | 12:56 |
| pkt | so just get the alternate cd and give it a try then :) | 12:58 |
| Solak | pkt: it would not be first choice to use proprietary drivers, but I get the idea things don't work optimal without them. | 12:58 |
| * Solak remembers that the image was quite fuzzy on his old system without proprietary drivers (that was ATI X800 card) | 12:59 | |
| pkt | these days radeon has improved a lot | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, the nvidia-current drivers are the best choice for geforce cards on 12.04 and 12.10 | 13:01 |
| Solak | the open source drivers? | 13:01 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: open or proprietary? | 13:02 |
| pkt | Solak: no, opensource ones are called nouveau | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | all nvidia are proprietary | 13:02 |
| pkt | nvidia is usually referring to the proprietary driver | 13:02 |
| Solak | ok. | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | but the proprietary additional drivers listed in jockey don't always work | 13:03 |
| pkt | These days I like radeon / intel more | 13:03 |
| pkt | I only use my nvidia machine for gpgpu stuff and for virtualized 3D with vmware | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | why the nvidia-current driver isn't listed there is a mystery to to me | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | it may have to do with nomenclature , the reasoning escapes me , however | 13:07 |

| Solak | hmm, 104.9Mb B ntfs / 75.5Gb ntfs / 52.4Gb Free | 13:38 |
| Solak | the 1st one is something unkown from windows 7... | 13:38 |
| lordievader | Solak: It is necessary to use Windows 7, do not delete that partition. | 13:56 |
| Solak | lordievader: yes, I just added 3 partitions. | 14:18 |
| lordievader | Solak: Ok, no problem then. | 14:18 |
| Solak | lordievader: only thing is that 'B' is now for the / partition of linux, and not that system partition of windows. | 14:18 |
| lordievader | Solak: I'm sorry do you mean sdb? | 14:19 |
| Solak | no, 'B' as in the boot-flag. | 14:20 |
| lordievader | Solak: Ah, I have a feeling that is normal. Grub is on /. Or so I would think, I'm no expert on Grub... | 14:20 |
| Solak | hmm, how do I unmark a partition for formatting? | 14:25 |
| pkt | Solak: you mean in the installer? probably you press "space" on it | 14:30 |
| Solak | pkt: manual partitioning in the installer. space doesn't work. | 14:31 |
| pkt | unfortunately I don't have an alternate cd here to verify | 14:34 |
| pkt | my memory tells that you use space to check/uncheck checkboxes in the text interface | 14:35 |
| pkt | but you could be looking at something different | 14:35 |
| Solak | pkt: <space> selects | 14:37 |
| Solak | pkt: but that seems to do nothing, <enter> however selects and goes to a new screen. | 14:38 |
| pkt | Ah, so you hadn't selected the partition | 14:38 |
| pkt | yes, first you select and you go to a screen where it tells you what do you want to do with the partition IIRC | 14:39 |
| pkt | i.e., do you want it to be swap / to format it and mount it somewhere etc etc | 14:39 |
| pkt | in that screen I think there are checkboxes you can use <space> on | 14:39 |
| pkt | still this is all from memory, I don't have it in front of me :) | 14:40 |
| MySystem | hello is there a way in kubuntu to run a cmd as root if sudo doesnt work tried su but without a set root password no chance | 14:47 |
| pkt | you can set a root password if it is really required | 14:48 |
| pkt | sudo passwd root | 14:48 |
| pkt | but can't you do what you want with something like kdesudo? | 14:48 |
| MySystem | the workaround with sudo passwd root is an idea but kdesudo sounds better will try this | 14:50 |
| pkt | MySystem: you can also do sudo -s | 14:50 |
| pkt | this will give you a root shell | 14:51 |
| pkt | hopefully this way there won't be any need for enabling the root account | 14:51 |
| genii-around | !root | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:52 |
| lordievader | Hehe, nice comment ubottu. | 14:53 |
| thelionroars | sudo make me a sandwich | 14:53 |
| genii-around | thelionroars: You've been watching xkcd too long ;-) | 14:54 |
| thelionroars | you know it ;) | 14:54 |
| lordievader | Xkcd is great :) | 14:54 |
| MySystem | kdesudo works perfekt | 14:58 |
| pkt | great :) | 14:59 |
| pkt | In Linux there are always so many ways to solve a problem :) | 14:59 |
| Solak | hmm, grey screen and nothing at boot. | 15:00 |
| Solak | but that was to be expected... | 15:00 |
| pkt | yes, you should go to text mode | 15:00 |
| MySystem | yes pkt this is one of the reasons why i love it | 15:01 |
| Solak | nvidia-common is installed, so is libkwinactivenvidiahack4 | 15:01 |
| pkt | (recovery mode) | 15:01 |
| pkt | and see what is happening there | 15:01 |
| pkt | anyway I have to go now | 15:02 |
| pkt | see you :) | 15:02 |

| Solak | BluesKaj: ping? | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, yes ? | 17:17 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: I found the nvidia-current drivers you mentioned earlier, but I wonder what I'm missing: it works, but only at 1024x768 (monitor is 1920x1080). | 17:19 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: do you have an idea what that could be? | 17:19 |
| Solak | except for that, and the fact that the mouse hides while moving, everything works good. | 17:20 |
| Solak | I expected more trouble, even to get X working at all. | 17:20 |
| Daskreech | What video card? | 17:22 |
| Solak | Daskreech: nVidia Geforce gtx 550 ti. | 17:23 |
| Daskreech | Hm didn't know there were issues with that | 17:23 |
| genii-around | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 17:28 |
| Solak | ah, I see two proprietary drivers in 'additional drivers'. | 17:28 |
| lordievader | Good evening | 17:31 |
| Solak | genii-around: thanks! | 17:31 |
| Solak | re lordievader | 17:31 |
| lordievader | Hey Solak, how is it going with your Linux adventure? | 17:32 |
| Solak | works better than expected, I only have to set the right resolution, mouse is sometimes invisible, and additional drivers fail to install. | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, install the nvidia-current driver , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then reboot..the addtional drivers may not work | 17:38 |
| BluesKaj | ok ..gotta go for a while | 17:39 |
| c2tarun | hey, anyone done packet sniffing on kubuntu? | 17:39 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: You can do packet sniffing on almost any system. Wireshark is multi-platform. | 17:40 |
| c2tarun | I have three machines, all are connected to a wi-fi router. Is there anyway I can sniff all the packets going in and out from computer 2 from my laptop? | 17:40 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: If your wifi card from the laptop supports promiscious mode, then yes. | 17:41 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: I think I can sniff packets only if my lappy is server and all other PC's are accessing internet from my PC (I may be wrong I am a noob) | 17:42 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: and how can I check whether my wifi card supports promiscious mode or not? | 17:43 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Nope, that is the beauty of wifi, you get all of the packages. Your NIC just disgards most of them. | 17:43 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Google? Or simply try it. | 17:43 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: thanks :) installing wireshark now. | 17:44 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: You also need ettercap. | 17:45 |
| * c2tarun googling about ettercap | 17:46 | |
| c2tarun | lordievader: BTW why do I need ettercap, is wireshark not enough? | 17:46 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: If you want to see the traffic of the other machines, no. | 17:47 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: then what can wireshark do? | 17:47 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Sniff packages. | 17:47 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: so are you saying we can sniff something but to see them I need some other tool as well? its like I sniffed a lock but I dont have the key!! | 17:48 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: If you have the time I suggest watching a few Hak5 podcasts, they regularely discuss the topic: hak5.org | 17:48 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: I have been there, but couldn't find a post on packet sniffing. :( | 17:49 |
| c2tarun | going to look again | 17:49 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: if you have a bookmark, can you please share/ | 17:49 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Your NIC gets all the packages, however it discards anything that is not ment for that NIC. Wireshark does not see the discarded packages. | 17:49 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: I'll look some up. | 17:50 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: Haktip - ARP Cache, Haktip 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23. http://hak5.org/category/episodes/haktip/page/2 | 17:52 |
| c2tarun | lordievader: wow thanks a lot :) | 17:53 |
| lordievader | c2tarun: No problem, have fun. | 17:55 |

| jacob__ | hello irc, I'm running kubuntu 12.04 (kde 4.8.5) and my mimetypes are messed up. I can't get dolphin to open an svg in inkscape despite what it says in the KEditFileType menu. Is there a quick solution to this? | 18:27 |
| valentin | HI YO WUT UP | 18:46 |
| valentin | Hi lordievader :) | 18:46 |
| lordievader | Hey valentin, you are happy! | 18:47 |
| valentin | lordievader : Indeed ! | 18:47 |
| lordievader | valentin: How come? | 18:47 |
| valentin | lol | 18:47 |
| valentin | I just got my minecraft server set properly | 18:47 |
| lordievader | valentin: A house mate asked me about that recently... he did it on Windows though. | 18:48 |
| valentin | lordievader : What did he ask you about ? | 18:48 |
| lordievader | valentin: About a minecraft server. | 18:48 |
| valentin | lordievader : + It's rather bad to host a MC server (even all servers) on Windows, imo | 18:49 |
| valentin | lordievader : Yes but what ? xD | 18:49 |
| lordievader | valentin: He wanted to host one for a couple of friends, he asked if he should install Linux for it... | 18:49 |
| lordievader | valentin: Why do you think so? | 18:50 |
| valentin | lordievader : I see, I was just wondering if he was looking for a server to play on. | 18:50 |
| valentin | lordievader : I used to host on Windows, I wrote a launcher (cmd one) and it kept failing, it didn't work properly with Java env. | 18:51 |
| valentin | lordievader : Nothing better than using a good Minecraft.sh :D | 18:51 |
| lordievader | valentin: Anyhow, have fun with your server. | 18:52 |
| valentin | lordievader : Thanks, do you play it ? | 18:53 |
| lordievader | valentin: No. I got better things to do. | 18:55 |
| lordievader | valentin: :P | 18:56 |
| valentin | lordievader : better things... :P | 18:56 |
| valentin | lordievader : Well w.e people may say about minecraft, it still is an awesome game if you know some technics :) | 18:56 |
| valentin | lordievader : I and some friends added ComputerCraft, it's a programming mod (For example, you can code a password for a door using a virtual machine) | 18:57 |
| BluesKaj | new wireless keyboard and mouse in the system , plug 'n play ..works right from the get go :) | 18:57 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Nice! | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | lordievader, Microsoft wireless desktop 2000 , for 30 bucks , saved 20 ...even the vol ctrls work :) | 19:00 |
| lordievader | BluesKaj: Kind of ironic :P | 19:00 |
| BluesKaj | yeah | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | my other wireless KB is also MS , worked well for 3yrs | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | the mouse broke but the KB is fine , gonna put ti omn wife's pc | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | have to check it out on W7 ..BBL | 19:03 |

| valentin | SPEAK | 19:15 |
| lordievader | valentin: Whom? | 19:16 |
| valentin | ALL OF YA :( | 19:17 |
| lordievader | valentin: This is a support channel, not a community channel, check #kubuntu-offtopic for that. | 19:18 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: the nvidia-current was installed already, but one of the additional drivers worked. thanks. | 19:18 |
| valentin | I already went there lordievader | 19:20 |
| Solak | hmm, now adding the old disk to /etc/fstab... | 19:24 |
| === Vito_away is now known as Vito | ||
| lordievader | valentin: I do not see you there... | 19:28 |
| Solak | hmmm...: "OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past." | 19:29 |
| Solak | and how do I know I have upgraded to a stable driver? | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, so you're setting desktop effects in system settings ? | 19:32 |
| Solak | yes. | 19:32 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: is that the wrong way? | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | no, it's the correct way | 19:33 |
| Solak | I get the message that i.e. the cube is not available, which I don't understand... | 19:34 |
| Solak | now it was set to xrender and I changed to opengl, hoping that would solve the problem... | 19:35 |
| BluesKaj | yes , Solak , that should ..OpenGL is the best setting | 19:36 |
| Solak | but what about this warning? | 19:37 |
| === Guest72246 is now known as Mamarok | ||
| BluesKaj | try the cube animation now | 19:37 |
| Solak | does libkwinnvidiahack4 have to do with this? | 19:38 |
| Solak | and the other one, libkwinactivenvidiahack4? | 19:39 |
| BluesKaj | dunno | 19:39 |
| Solak | BluesKaj: heh, I don't see a cube, it flips :-) | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | ctrl f11 | 19:41 |
| genii-around | If you only have two desktops it will just be basically a flat sheet and not a cube | 19:42 |
| Solak | ah, true :) | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | 4 minimum . I use 6 here | 19:44 |
| * Solak uses 8 normally. | 19:44 | |
| Solak | but first I have to configure fstab to get access to the other harddisk... | 19:44 |
| Solak | because that contains the old system... | 19:45 |
| BluesKaj | Solak, it should show in dolphin places | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | sudo blkid | 19:53 |
| Solak | ah, it does indeed... | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | i haven't bothered with fstab , everything shows up , altho i have labelled them in partition manager | 19:55 |
| Solak | I only see sizes here... | 19:55 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , you can label them and the nakes will show up in "places" | 19:56 |

| strahlemann | hello can somebody tell my why i cant find the skype package | 23:36 |
| strahlemann | at my own pc i installed it via package manager | 23:36 |
| tsimpson | skype is in the Canonical partner repository | 23:38 |
| tsimpson | !partner | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 23:39 |
