[12:01] <phao> Hi. I've installed lubuntu with a swap file, and not a swap partition. I've read I need a swap partition to hibernate my computer. Is there an easy way to be able to hibernate in my situation? I don't mind creating a swap partition if I have to. I'd just like something easy to fix this, if possible. Any clues?
[22:06] <zartun> hola
[23:54] <adi1200> Hey all


[03:12] <SXan> Howdy
[03:49] <SXan> Does anybody here know how to write a service rule where more than one event is required to bring a service up?  I can find no documentation on this.
[05:09] !alindeman:*! Hi all.  One of our servers seems to be having trouble; we're going to pull it from rotation pending further information


[18:12] <overlord> Also, I would like to know: I want to open a folder by double clicking it. And I'm unable to find this in the "Configure Dolphin"  page. How do I do this ?
[18:12] <pteague> m477: did it give you the same error message as before?
[18:13] <Wazmyn> overlord:  look in system settings
[18:13] <m477> pteague no , now i have to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/124872/
[18:13] <Wazmyn> overlord: keyboard&mouse ->> mouse
[18:14] <overlord> Wazmyn: Thanks.
[18:14] <Wazmyn> overlord: sure. But if you leave it on one click for 2 weeks, you'll wonder why anybody would ever use the double click :)
[18:15] <overlord> GWild: Oh. I can see "Window Behaviour" & "Window Specific Behaviour" in system settings.
[18:15] <overlord> Wazmyn: Thanks for the tip. I'l leave it to single click now. Let's see ! =]
[18:16] <m477> pteague im in etc/x11/xorg.conf i have to write up there something yes ?
[18:16] <pteague> m477: ah, ok...  let me paste my xorg file... hmm...  what was the cli for pasting config files...
[18:16] <draik_> This is not a technical question, but I'll ask anyway... If I cough, should I be seeing something that resembles small shooting stars or spider web lines of light?
[18:17] <m477> pteague cli ? what does it mean ?
[18:17] <pteague> command line interface... i.e. terminal
[18:17] <draik_> drostie: So I no longer have the Internet issue.  You're seeing the effects of that
[18:18] <pteague> m477: check http://pastebin.com/fb3214d2
[18:18] <pteague> against your xorg.conf
[18:18] <draik_> Wazmyn: Lovely. Well, as long as I'm not halucinating anything, I suppose that's fine with me.
[18:18] <Wazmyn> <-- sinus infection. I was having the same thing. Wife's a Vet, she explained it all to me
[18:19] <pteague> sinuses are fun... speaking of which *gobbles a claritin-d*
[18:20] <Loctrice> well, I made it
[18:20] <dr_Willis> :0 get one of those little 'tea pots' to wash out your nose. :)
[18:20] <Loctrice> anyone give me some info with kubuntu? I got this channel from the help page
[18:20] <Wazmyn> Everyone keeps telling me that, dr_Willis
[18:20] <Wazmyn> Loctrice: just ask your questions
[18:20] <m477> pteague i did what now ?
[18:21] <draik_> !ask | Loctrice
[18:21] <dr_Willis> Wazmyn,  ive not tried one.. but guys at work sware by them.. Im going to try one whenever i can track one doen thats not outragous priced.
[18:21] <Loctrice> I have tried debian, and now kubuntu. I cant seem to get the desktop to load. it has some messy graphics on F7 but no environment that I can use
[18:21] <pteague> or spicy food...  i like mexican & oriental... the extra hot... when i'm having bad problems with sinuses
[18:21]  * Wazmyn agrees with dr_Willis
[18:21] <m477> pteague now i have to restart x server ?
[18:22] <pteague> m477: actually, if you copied my xorg.conf to yours i think all you need to do is restart X unless there's something specific you want to try... that's off my box with the 8600 in it
[18:22] <_Maikon_> hello .i got a nice conection, but when i'm downloading a package from  repositories(via apt-get or any gui) i  can't a good conection, my downloads are at 50kb/s
[18:22] <draik_> pteague: spicy food with clear your ins and outs
[18:23] <draik_> Spicy Food, your body's I/O port cleaner!
[18:24] <_Maikon_> any idea where is my problem?
[18:24] <Loctrice> so why cant I get a desktop if its supposed to have one with my install?
[18:24] <dr_Willis> pteague,  a little habanaro pepper under the tounge does wonders eh? :)
[18:25] <draik_> dr_Willis: What teapots did you mean?
[18:25] <dr_Willis> draik_,  the 'neti pots'  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8sDIbRAXlg   - they look like little teapots the kids would play with
[18:26] <pteague> dr_Willis: either that or maybe it's the extra burning makes you cry it all out? ;)
[18:26] <pteague> lol draik_
[18:27] <pteague> woot, i'm installing pastebinit on all my boxes
[18:27] <draik_> LOL. That's funny. I can see this being used otherwise.
[18:28] <dr_Willis> draik_,  :) like the kids having 'tea' :)
[18:28] <pteague> oh yuck
[18:29] <Wazmyn> Loctrice: did the desktop work with the live cd?
[18:30] <draik_> dr_Willis: I can imaging kids being very experimental and use special salt with this thing
[18:30] <fkm> Is there a way to get the 'old' Adept back on a Kubuntu Interpid?
[18:30] <pteague> lol
[18:30] <Wazmyn> fkm:  sudo apt-get install synaptic
[18:30] <Wazmyn> :)
[18:31] <fkm> I don't like synaptic either :-(
[18:31] <Wazmyn> fkm: it's better than the new adept
[18:31] <fkm> That's right :-)
[18:31] <dr_Willis> I always use synaptic
[18:31] <draik_> I use CLI
[18:31] <dr_Willis> 'pacman -S synaptic' :P
[18:31] <fkm> I switched to the console for now
[18:32] <pteague> lol off that youtube link i followed "white trash neti pot"...
[18:33] <fkm> So there's no way to get to back to the good old Adept vom Feisty? :-|
[18:34] <dr_Willis> proberly not
[18:34] <pteague> my preference is the update-notifier from gnome... i can have it show me what needs to be updated without me having to put in a password... so if i figure it's not worth it i'll just leave it for later
[18:35] <m477> pteague hey when i overwrite my xorg by your kde wont open to me i had to load backup file
[18:36] <dr_Willis>  /join #netipot
[18:36] <dr_Willis> oops :)
[18:36] <pteague> ok, that's not good
[18:36] <pteague> lol
[18:36] <pteague>  /join #knottypot
[18:37] <afonso_> I am navigate konqueror no navigate
[18:37] <Wazmyn> anybody else using quassel?
[18:37] <pteague> m477: k, if you're still at a point asking for a driver, just add the `Driver "nvidia"` line to your xorg.conf & see if that works
[18:38] <fkm> Hmmm... If I wanted to start a (or at least sort of a) petition to get them to return to the old version: where should I do that?  :-)
[18:38] <Wazmyn> fkm: i'm sure they're working on bringing the new one up to the full functionality of the old one
[18:39] <m477> pteague but nvidia setting works
[18:39] <m477> pteague i have all the time "Driver "nvidia""
[18:39] <pteague> ah, ok
[18:40] <m477> pteague so what i have to change in that file
[18:40] <m477> pteague if i have to do anything ? now
[18:41] <pteague> m477: if it's working with the line about the nvidia driver i think that's all you need...  if you want to mess around & set some extra settings you can run `sudo nvidia-settings`
[18:42] <fkm> Wazmyn, Ok :-) Thank you for the info!
[18:42] <pteague> m477: just be sure to make a backup of xorg.conf before you do... always easier to go back to something known to work than to try to start over
[18:42] <afonso_> entrei nesta sala ou canal ou seja lá como o pessoal Linux se comunica, estou prestando atenção
[18:43] <m477> pteague ok thx cya homie
[18:43] <m477> :D
[18:43] <pteague> np, sorry it took so long :)
[18:47] <m477> how can i check in terminal if i have 3d acceleration ?
[18:48] <dr_Willis> run Quake3 ? :)
[18:48] <dr_Willis> heh. there is some command i recall - but i forget what it is..
[18:48] <dr_Willis> glxinfo or similer.
[18:48] <m477> i think is easier way :P
[18:48] <BluesKaj> m477, glxinfo | grep direct
[18:49] <m477> BluesKaj: direct rendering is acceleration ?
[18:51] <dr_Willis> I think so.. :) but theres no guarentees it actually does work.. untill ya try the 3d stuff in a program.
[18:51] <darrell> anyone got any good advice on buying a wifi copier?
[18:51] <m477> ok thx
[18:51]  * dr_Willis wonders what a wifi copier is...
[18:52] <dr_Willis> you mean a  wireless printer/scanner?
[18:53] <BluesKaj> m477, http://blogs.koolwal.net/2008/04/28/how-to-enabling-3d-acceleration-under-debian-linux/
[18:59] <Valkyria> please need help with kubuntu 8.10 im new in linux!!!!
[18:59] <Valkyria> someone???
[19:00] <dr_Willis> Well..  #1 - state the actual problem  to the channel.
[19:01] <Valkyria> i dont know how to configure this to have my laptop with an additional monitor
[19:01] <m477> is vmware free under linux?
[19:02] <dr_Willis> Configure 'what' exactly?
[19:02] <dr_Willis> There is a free vmware version, and free virtualbox also. I recall.
[19:02] <dr_Willis> !vmware
[19:02] <koperton> Valkyria: is your driver video that you have to configure
[19:02] <Valkyria> look, first, sorry about my english... im from chile
[19:02] <koperton> !graphiccard
[19:02] <Valkyria> mmm
[19:02] <Valkyria> i can see both monitors
[19:02] <koperton> Valkyria: mm there is espagnol channel
[19:03] <koperton> !es
[19:03] <koperton> Valkyria: you language is spagnol?
[19:05] <darrell> yeah dr_Willis a wireless printer/scanner
[19:05] <m477> ubottu: they has 3d acceleration ?
[19:06] <pteague> !br
[19:06] <m477> dr_Willis: is there 3d acceleration working in virtualbox or QEmu? or only in vmware
[19:07] <quassel208> can i get deb on my linux distro ?
[19:08] <koperton> quassel208: ?what's your problem ?
[19:08] <pteague> m477: i think vmware is best bet currently for 3d support... although i'm not sure any have very good directx support... i'm surprised i can actually watch netflix movies in vmware now
[19:08] <quassel208> if i can get apt on other linux systeem
[19:09] <m477> but vmware is not GPL
[19:10] <dr_Willis> m477,  from that i gather - it onluy works in vmware in special cases.
[19:11] <m477> aha
[19:11] <dr_Willis> I wouldent expect to be able to play games at 100% speed :)
[19:12] <m477> btw can you recomend so program like compiz
[19:12] <m477> the most effectiv
[19:12] <m477> effective*
[19:12] <dr_Willis> 'like compiz' ?
[19:12] <dr_Willis> like compiz in what way?
[19:13] <m477> or is it the only option for 3dcubes etc..
[19:13] <m477> the best effects etc
[19:13] <pteague> dr_Willis: i can't believe some of the  youtube vids for that teapot... cayenne pepper & another with coca-cola
[19:13] <m477> and pritty stabile
[19:14] <dr_Willis> pteague,  fizzy! and acid! :(
[19:15] <dr_Willis> m477,  i dont bend over too far backwards for useless eye candy. KDE4 has its own 'effects' that work very well
[19:16] <pteague> oh geeze... & the link off coca-cola has mt dew... >_<  what are these people smoking before they're doing this?
[19:16] <dr_Willis> what next? battery acid and Vinager?
[19:16] <pteague> lol
[19:17] <dr_Willis> A Nasel Enema!
[19:17] <pteague> tabasco sauce...
[19:17] <pteague> srsly
[19:17] <dr_Willis> A Nassal Inferno
[19:17] <dr_Willis> A Nassel Inferno
[19:18] <pteague> the same guy that did the mt dew... crazy radio djs
[19:21] <dr_Willis> NETI@home Version 2.0 is now available! Packed with plenty of enhancements and optimizations NETI@home Version 2.0 is the result of much development. We think you'll enjoy!
[19:21] <dr_Willis> Heh.. oh wait thats not a neti pot!
[19:21] <dr_Willis> :)
[19:22] <pteague> hehe
[19:22] <wad> I'm new to ubuntu... quick question on networking. It's connecting just fine to my wired and wireless networks, but I'm not sure how to connect to work via the vpn. I click the network icon on the panel, and it has a tab for VPN types of network connections, but the ADD button is disabled. What's up with that?
[19:23] <pteague> wad: is it the at&t vpn or does it use a standard vpn?
[19:23] <wad> pteague, hmm... Not sure.
[19:23] <wad> I think it's a standard one.
[19:24] <pteague> wad: with windows do you set it up via network connections or you have a whole program you install ?
[19:24] <wad> pteague, I never use windows.
[19:24] <wad> So I have no clue.
[19:24] <wad> I've been connecting to it via linux for the past 3 years.
[19:24] <pteague> ah, ok
[19:25] <wad> Here's how I've been doing it:
[19:25] <pteague> probably using openvpn
[19:25] <wad> with the program vpnc
[19:25] <wad> I have the old laptop here, so I can connect with it any time.
[19:25] <wad> (I'm moving to a new laptop, with Ubuntu this time)
[19:26] <wad> With Kubuntu (which I came from) I didn't use any of the provided networking tools, I wrote scripts to manually do everything.
[19:27] <wad> That's because the network manager under Kubuntu didn't work for whatever reason.
[19:27] <wad> But I'm giving Ubuntu a chance to do everything automatically.... so far, it's pretty simple.
[19:27] <pteague> wad: i'm guessing you used openvpn previously...  you can search for vpn with your package manager... if you're specifically wanting the network manager to handle it i think you'll need network-manager-openvpn
[19:27] <wad> I just don't understand why the ADD button on the VPN tab is disabled.
[19:28] <wad> pteague, hmm. Okay, I'll poke at it.
[19:28] <pteague> possibly because the plugin for vpns hasn't been installed which may be that package... i hope
[19:28] <wad> ah, okay.
[19:28] <wad> I'll check the packages...
[19:28] <rafael> kurumin
[19:28] <pteague> if it's cisco you may need network-manager-vpnc instead
[19:29] <wad> Oh, I think it might be cisco... there were several ways we could connect to it.
[19:29] <wad> Ah, yes! It's cisco.
[19:31] <wad> Ah, perfect! Now I have an ADD button! Thanks pteage!
[19:31]  * wad drops off IRC to fiddle with network settings.
[19:33] <jschall_> i'm on kubuntu 64bit, and i got flash in konqueror. only problem is, flash objects are usually just solid black or solid white
[19:33] <jschall_> works fine in firefox
[19:34] <jschall_> is there any way to fix it?
[19:34] <Guest95988> to get gaim - sudo apt-get instal gaim?
[19:34] <jschall_> it's pidgin now
[19:35] <bishopz> so i can connect to pidgin via my shell?
[19:35] <AndyCrawford> there is a lib purple shell extension so you can get at purple (pidgin backend) features from shell, afaik
[19:36] <bishopz> ahhh tyvm
[19:36] <AndyCrawford> bishopz:  And there is a command line version of Pidgin based on it.
[19:36] <pteague> gaim is now pidgin
[19:36] <bishopz> thanks guys brb
[19:36] <bishopz> oh one more thing!!!
[19:37] <bishopz> anyone know a decent ftp
[19:37] <jschall_> konqueror
[19:37] <jschall_> probably does it fine
[19:37] <pteague> konqueror
[19:37] <jschall_> just use ftp:// sftp:// etc
[19:37] <bishopz> is it user friendly, ive seen it, never used it
[19:38] <pteague> what's that 1 opensource 1 that's good on windows? fireftp or something?
[19:38] <jschall_> there's some mozilla one, idk what it is
[19:38] <jschall_> windows explorer supports it!
[19:38] <jschall_> i think
[19:38] <jschall_> maybe
[19:38] <jschall_> probably not very well...
[19:38] <jussi01> fireftp isnt bad
[19:39] <patrizia> hi guys
[19:39] <jschall_> there's also this really great one called ftp, you run it from the command line
[19:39] <AndyCrawford> bishopz:  I use gftp
[19:39] <pteague> lol, windows is iffy, but doesn't support sftp afaik...  except a particular job i held for 2 months i've not used ftp in several years... plain text password ftl
[19:39] <patrizia> just want to know, how can I make a shortcut of the games folder (or card games in specific) on the desktop or add a folder view for just that?
[19:39] <pteague> lol jschall_
[19:39] <AndyCrawford> nice 2 panel (midnight commander style) ftp client that I use for all my hosting needs, it works well.
[19:39] <bishopz> andy: thanks im going to read into that as well
[19:39] <AndyCrawford> np
[19:39] <pteague> still not sure what midnight commander style is
[19:40] <patrizia> using kde4.2 btw
[19:40] <jschall_> so anyway, flash, konqueror, doesn't work, does in firefox, any solution?
[19:40] <AndyCrawford> Konqueror will do ftp as well as other protocols, and is fine for a little use, but if you use ftp as much as I do, I need something more capable.
[19:40] <jschall_> oh, forgot 64bit
[19:41] <AndyCrawford> Midnight Commander was an old shell program that gave you 2 file system views, left and right.
[19:41] <pteague> patrizia: i think you can just copy the *.desktop file from /usr/share to your ~/Desktop , but don't quote me on that
[19:41] <AndyCrawford> Many programs are modeled in that image
[19:41] <AndyCrawford> I don't generally like that.  I like single windows, ala Windows Explorer style.  But for ftp twin view is nice.
[19:41] <AndyCrawford> you can, if you have a .desktop file, E can use that.
[19:41] <jschall_> on the subject of konqueror, it's really not ready for real use except on laptops until it supports mouse4/mouse5 back/forward
[19:42] <AndyCrawford> I don't have .desktop files for locations I wanted, nor many applications I wanted, so I just symlinked.
[19:42] <pteague> jschall_: i'm in the same boat... it seems flash works sometimes in konqueror, but not often... the fault lies with adobe i think as they've yet to produce a 64bit flash player... what we're really using is a 32bit wrapped flash player
[19:42] <AndyCrawford> jschall_:  I agree.  Konqueror or Dolphin, whatever modern KDE file manager, is not intended for major FTP work and the like.
[19:43] <tuxi> pteague: the 64-bit beta of flash 10 seems to work well for me
[19:44] <pteague> i'm still on kde3...  i like the tree view that seems to have been around for forever in konqueror... anyways, with multiple tabs & 2 konqueror windows if i need a gui they work... i tend to use rsync over ssh though
[19:44] <patrizia> pteague I dont see a .desktop in there
[19:45] <patrizia> pteague yea I have no idea what you're talking about
[19:46] <patrizia> pteague ok I see the files but they arent organized in any way, no way to copy a shortcut of the menu option 'Games' ?
[19:46] <patrizia> I dont want to copy each shortcut one by one
[19:47] <tuxi> patrizia: which version of KDE?
[19:47] <patrizia> 4.2
[19:47] <tuxi> you could add a folder widget and put all the .desktop files in there
[19:47] <pteague> patrizia: sorry, i'm new to kde4 & i've not seen any .desktop files inside ~ unless i made them & kde4 doesn't seem to like drag & drop copy off of the kmenu
[19:48] <tuxi> look in /usr/share/app-install
[19:48] <patrizia> I dont want to copy stuff, I alredy saw the shortcuts
[19:49] <tuxi> sorry, the only options I see are copying or using symlinks
[19:49] <patrizia> k thx
[19:49] <patrizia> hopefully they add that
[19:53] <athlon1> How can I install help for some programs? ex: Program adept_manager, press help button, a message sanind that adept_manager/index.html does not exists.
[19:53] <athlon1> How can I install help for some programs? ex: Program adept_manager, press help button, a message saing that adept_manager/index.html does not exists.
[19:59] <dr_Willis> some programs may not have the help docs  made yet..
[19:59] <dr_Willis> or they are looking in the wrong place
[20:00] <dr_Willis>  try 'locate adept_manager'   in a terminal to see if the docs are installed in some other location
[20:08] <athlon1> I tried it and there is a directory called /usr/share/doc/adept-manager, but only licence file is there.
[20:09] <elirips> Hello. Since using Kubuntu 8.10 I am having problems with name-resolving: From applications like konqueror, firefox, konversation, etc. name-resolving does not work, but if I do a nslookup on the console it works. anyone an idea?

[20:13] <XiXaQ> I'd like to display my gmail inbox as a plasmoid on my desktop. How do I do this? I read somewhere that it could be done, but not how- :)
[20:13] <XiXaQ> actually, I'd like to view other inboxes via imap too, and my calendar and todos too, if it's possible.
[20:16] <christian_> jemand aus germany
[20:22] <goofey> XiXaQ: i think you can add google desktop widgets to kde 4.2 - i bet they have a "view gmail" widget
[20:24] <XiXaQ> oh.. Google widgets aren't the same as the stuff you have on iGoogle?
[20:24] <dr_Willis> No they are not.
[20:25] <dr_Willis> some are similer. :)
[20:29] <XiXaQ> I love the useful plasmoids, but there seems to be an overwhelming number of eyecandy plasmoids.
[20:29] <XiXaQ> percentage, I meant.
[20:29] <marko_> hi r u willing to help d bigginer
[20:29] <marko_> ?
[20:29] <dr_Willis> Theres a usefull one?
[20:30] <XiXaQ> the folder view stuff is really nice.
[20:30] <marko_> i am experiencing problems with my kubuntu OS
[20:30] <marko_> :(
[20:31] <dr_Willis> Step #1 - ask an answerable question. :)
[20:31] <marko_> okay
[20:31] <marko_> i am having troubles with the drivers for the ATI Radeon xpress 1150
[20:31] <XiXaQ> no, step #1 is to not write sms-speak. #2 is to ask real questions.
[20:32] <Brick_Farmer> what sort of troubles
[20:32] <marko_> well there is no 3d ?
[20:32] <Brick_Farmer> are you using the restricted drivers, or just the default
[20:33] <marko_> restricted drivers
[20:33] <marko_> offered by kubuntu
[20:33] <XiXaQ> well. Got to head for home. Thanks for helping out and have a nice day. :)
[20:33] <marko_> in d hardware drivers
[20:33] <dr_Willis> ati and nvidia can be such a pain at times. sadly
[20:33] <Brick_Farmer> agreed
[20:33] <marko_> i look on some serbian forums and they explained me what can be done
[20:34] <marko_> but to me it looks so complex
[20:34] <marko_> they say that i have to disable the composite extention
[20:34] <dr_Willis> If this is a new install.. You may want to try the next release - its being tested right now.. so it may be flakey, or it may work fine...
[20:35] <dr_Willis> disabling the composit extension - should be a exit to xorg.conf i think
[20:35] <marko_> http://www.ubuntu-rs.org/wiki/ATI_(fglrx)_na_Feisty-ju
[20:35] <marko_> here they explained it
[20:35] <marko_> what i have to do
[20:35] <marko_> eventho it is in serbian  have a look please
[20:35] <marko_> i think it might give u d idea about my problem
[20:35] <marko_> u might understand it
[20:36] <marko_> or u think it is too complex
[20:36] <Brick_Farmer> translated: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubuntu-rs.org%2Fwiki%2FATI_(fglrx)_na_Feisty-ju&sl=sr&tl=en&history_state0=
[20:36] <marko_> what should i o in ur opinion
[20:36] <dr_Willis> Looks rather straight forward to me.
[20:37] <Brick_Farmer> follow the comands
[20:37] <dr_Willis> #1 steo says to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and paste in those lines at the end.
[20:37] <marko_> wait
[20:38] <marko_> before i do that
[20:38] <marko_> do u have any other suggestions?
[20:38] <marko_> perhaps some better ideas?
[20:38] <Brick_Farmer> I have an NVidia, so no clue.
[20:38] <dr_Willis> you could try the next relase of Ubuntu/Kubuntu if you want.
[20:39] <dr_Willis> or not use the fglrx drivers.. just use the 'ati' ones.. it will be slower.. but  should work
[20:39] <marko_> look i installed soem drivers
[20:39] <marko_> but whne i type glxinfo this is what pops out
[20:40] <marko_> name of display: :0.0
[20:40] <marko_> X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)

[20:51] <Loctrice> got a different version, still no desktop environment. anyone have any ideas why it wont load? it tries,but all i get is a blue screen
[20:52] <Dr_willis> make a new user.. see if it works fior the new user.
[20:52] <Dr_willis> im not clear on the whole problem.. You may want to rephrase the issue to the channel.
[20:54] <Loctrice> ok, I'm a new linux user. I dont know all the details for the setup. I tried to get debian, as a 32 bit system, and I got a wierd pixel screen instead of a desktop. I switched to kubuntu because it said its easier for windows users to use. I used wubi to download it and install it (it being kubuntu). the load splash screen came up, but the desktop failed to load. I went back to the F1 terminal screen and it eventually rebooted the
[20:55] <Loctrice> on the F7 screen I get a flat blue screen. its not "pixelly" or anything, but it is just a blue screen
[20:56] <Dr_willis> sounds like yoru video drivers are not isntalled propelry.
[20:56] <Dr_willis> I wouldent use wubi either. :) but thats justme
[20:57] <SuspectZero> hey there. if i want to format what files wouldi have to save to keep my settings?
[20:57] <Dr_willis> #1 - determine your video card and chipset.  would be the thing to do.
[20:57] <Loctrice> I'm not sure how to install them.   You may want to check the forums also.
[20:59] <Dr_willis> My 8800 works great
[20:59] <Loctrice> *hitting the link now* thanks , thats a good start at least
[21:00] <Zarel_> When I start up Kubuntu (VM in VMWare Fusion), it always starts in a weird resolution, then fixes itself automatically when I click "Display" in System Settings.
[21:00] <Zarel_> Anyone know what the issue is?
[21:00] <Dr_willis> I always use virtualbox. so nope. :) no idea
[21:02] <raibenss> Hi, is there any experiments about kubuntu 8.10 on aspire one 8gb ssd version?
[21:05] <Dr_willis> theres several AAO + ubuntu foruims./guides and stuff.
[21:05] <Dr_willis> My AAO runs ubuntu great.
[21:05] <Dr_willis> compiz even works

[21:55] <micheline> oi
[21:56] <_gunni_> Brick_Farmer: Zenity is a tool that allows you to display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog ...
[21:57] <_gunni_> khirr: Seems like there  is "kdialog"

I had some trouble getting my nvidia gforce 6800 driver to load. by following the manual I got from a help command on this sight, I eventually added a options section to my screen settings in the xorg.config. Now my monitor displays an error : dell S2209W please set input timing to 1920x1080@60Hz or some other supported setting. any ideas?
[22:07] <Loctrice> so the input timing is not supported by my monitor

[22:30] <wilbert_> a thread for the wireless but is for wireless cards.. not for the router
[22:38] <alarm> hello there. on previews kubuntu releases with kde3.5.x there was an option for external hdd devices to be mounted with read only. now (on kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.2) , when i plug in my external hdd , and open it , it is automounted with read/write access. how can i change that to mount it with read only option ?
[22:40] <Dr_willis> this is a ntfs filesuystem on teh drive?
[22:42] <alarm> yeap
[22:42] <alarm> the problem is that has nothing to do with fstab
[22:42] <alarm> i mount it through the tray icon that appears on the taskbar with the devices found
[22:43] <rimvis> :)
[22:43] <sparky> hello
[22:43] <rimvis> hi
[22:43] <alarm> as i say on previous releases you could go to the partition manager and set how you want your partitions to be mounted, read or write
[22:43] <sparky> I am having trouble and have no sound on Kubuntu 8.10
[22:44] <rimvis> i used ubuntu and problem no have :)
[22:44] <alarm> such option doesnt exist anymore. and i am wondering how i can change that. i got some data that do want them untouched , so read access is needed
[22:44] <sparky> rimvis: well thanks for your non-help
[22:44] <sparky> xd
[22:44] <rimvis> try search driver linuxs his computer sound card
[22:44] <rimvis> :D
[22:45] <alarm> sparky, oss , alsa installed ?
[22:45] <alarm> does dmesg | grep audio , show something ?
[22:45] <wilbert_> what is the Security Encryption (WPA-PSK)
[22:45] <sparky> alarm:  how to check?
[22:45] <alarm> sparky,  wifi protection

[22:47] <sparky> thanks
[22:47] <alarm> wilbert_,  i do not know where you saw that so that i  can answer
[22:47] <wilbert_>   Security Encryption (WPA-PSK)
[22:47] <wilbert_>   Passphrase:   (8-63 characters)
[22:47] <wilbert_>   Key Lifetime:   (minutes)
[22:48] <alarm> are you trying to connect to a wireless network ?
[22:48] <wilbert_> im trying to set it up
[22:48] <rimvis> :)
[22:48] <wilbert_> cause the cd of the setup is windows oriented and im having a harsh time
[22:49] <alarm> the point is the password is being set on a router , not on the os
[22:49] <wilbert_> mhm
[22:50] <wilbert_> i wanna set the router
[22:50] <alarm> there we go then, what has this to do with kubuntu ? :P
[22:50] <wilbert_> so when  ppl home wanna get in they use it
[22:50] <wilbert_>  cause the router is a portable modem also
[22:50] <alarm> allright, wpa is your key that nodes will connect with on the router
[22:50] <wilbert_> have no idea man
[22:51] <wilbert_>  but u seem to kno bout it and ur actually helping me
[22:51] <wilbert_>  i really apretiate that :D:D:D:D
[22:51] <alarm> wilbert_,  i guess you should read your routers/modem manual . i am not familiar with each router interface
[22:51] <Guest51031> \LEAVE
[22:51] <wilbert_> lol
[22:52] <alarm> sparky,  still here ?
[22:52] <wilbert_> know any wireless forum
[22:52] <alarm> wilbert_,  the phrase asked there is the password you want to set
[22:52] <wilbert_> talk straight to the cd setup with low info on manual config
[22:52] <wilbert_> and the minutes?
[22:52] <alarm> what is the routers/modem model ?
[22:52] <alarm> sparky,  ?
[22:53] <alarm> key lifetime , is how long you want this password to last. there must be info about it . for example '0' or 'empty' should keep it for ever
[22:53] <wilbert_> axesstel mv400 3G
[22:53] <wilbert_> k
[22:53] <sparky> yes
[22:54] <alarm> sparky,  open your system settings

[22:59] <alarm> lovely
[22:59] <sparky> under music
[22:59] <alarm> just that ? no other entry ? if you go to Audio Output it should list them all
[23:00] <sparky> alarm: then ?Pulseaudio (does that EVER work) and then stac92xx again
[23:01] <alarm> so your problem is you never got audio ? for example kde starts you dont hear anything ? play mp3 and you dont hear anything ? or what
[23:01] <sparky> no sound
[23:01] <sparky> last entry under music says front speakers
[23:02] <sparky> backend shows xine

[23:15] <SJr> apt-cache search
[23:15] <SJr> Knetworkmanager cannot see any wireless networks, but networkmanager in GNOME can see a crap load, so does iwlist, any ideas?
[23:15] <m4v> you want to search packages or files in packages?
[23:15] <Dr_willis> !apt | m477
[23:15] <Dr_willis> It may be looking at the wrong interface sjr perhaps?

[23:26] <amelie> hi
[23:26] <amelie> i need help; after installing restricted drivers for dvd playing
[23:26] <amelie> the flashplugin is messed up
[23:27] <alarm> amelie,  flashplugin is fucked up anyway
[23:27] <amelie> i'm unable to watch youtube
[23:27] <amelie> what can i do?
[23:27] <alarm> amelie,  dont worry you are not the only one . what happens ? a gray picture appears ?
[23:27] <amelie> yes
[23:27] <amelie> almost white
[23:27] <alarm> just refresh the page a couple of times
[23:27] <alarm> sometimes it works
[23:28] <alarm> as i said , flash plugin for firefox is fucked up
[23:28] <alarm> works better with konqueror somehow
[23:28] <amelie> :(
[23:28] <amelie> i don't like koqueror browser
[23:29] <alarm> me neither. thats the only solution i found (refresh) for firefox
[23:29] <alarm> if someone knows how to solve it, let us know
[23:29] <Guest50920> firefox rulez!! xD
[23:29] <amelie> i tried it
[23:29] <amelie> i close the application
[23:29] <alarm> true, but its getting on my nerves when flash doesnt play
[23:29] <amelie> reopened it
[23:29] <amelie> nothing
[23:29] <amelie> me too
[23:29] <alarm> amelie,  i didnt say to close the application but to refresh the page
[23:30] <amelie> yes i did refresh it as you said
[23:30] <amelie> three times
[23:30] <alarm> try it more
[23:30] <alarm> sometimes i need like 5-6 times till it works
[23:30] <alarm> dont know why , but it works sometimes
[23:30] <alarm> dont ask me what is wrong with it. but i know the issue
[23:31] <amelie> nothing
[23:32] <m477> i just installed compiz and doenst start to me simple compizconfig setings manager
[23:35] <amelie> ok...
[23:35] <amelie> that's it
[23:36] <amelie> it was after i installed compiz!
[23:37] <Dr_willis> !ccsm
[23:38] <Dr_willis> It may not be a good idea to mixx kde4 and compiz. You can have.. interesting.. quirks. :)
[23:45] <ghostcube> hmmm compiz and kde4 should work fine ;)
[23:46] <tuxi> don't need compiz ghostcube
[23:46] <ghostcube> :| depends on what u want
[23:47] <tuxi> I get some pretty nice effects with the kwin desktop effects (looks much like compiz)
[23:50] <amelie> ok guys
[23:51] <amelie> i just removed the flashplugin
[23:51] <amelie> and reinstalled it again
[23:51] <amelie> of course, after removing compiz
[23:51] <amelie> and the youtube graybox is out
[23:51] <tuxi> are you 32-bit?
[23:51] <amelie> 64
[23:51] <rao> hello all..
[23:52] <amelie> hi
[23:52] <ghostcube> tuxi, sure bit its not the same :)
[23:52] <tuxi> amelie: have you tried the 64-bit flash 10 beta?
[23:52] <rao> i forgot my password for my nick.. what is the best way to reterive that.. any ideas?
[23:52] <amelie> no
[23:52] <amelie> well, i've already solved the problem
[23:52] <jussi01> rao: ask in #freenode
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> amelie: wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz &&  ( [ -d ~/.mozilla/plugins ] || mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins ) && tar zxvf libflashplayer*.tar.gz -C ~/.mozilla/plugins
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> amelie: sorts me right out
[23:54]  * ghostcube gives ActionParsnip a cookie
[23:54] <amelie> well dear, i appreciate it
[23:54] <amelie> but
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> hehe, web searching dude :D
[23:54] <amelie> the problem is solved
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> amelie: that command downloads the 64bit tra.gz file, and extracts  the .so to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[23:55] <amelie> so... since i'm kind of a newbie on this; i'm not going to complicate it more...
[23:55] <amelie> ok
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> amelie: best way, if its not broken, dont fix it
[23:56] <amelie> hehe you couldn't say it better!
[23:56] <amelie> but, i assure you, if i got problems with it, i'll get your help
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> I work in computers so its my mantra
[23:56] <amelie> thank you very much, anyway
[23:56] <amelie> i wish i could be a guru like you
[23:57] <amelie> i'm newbie on linux
[23:57] <amelie> the best thing i can do in windows is using some applications on the office suite
[23:57] <tuxi> ActionParsnip: thanks for the link -- it looks like I'm a bit out of date
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> tuxi: just run the whole thing
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> tuxi: it does the work for you


[06:55] <dholbach> good morning
[18:02] <pleia2> can someone have a listen to this new podcast and give some feedback? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2012-September/001631.html
[18:02] <pleia2> need to figure out whether we should include it
[18:04] <holstein> pleia2: i'll add it to my phone for my drive today
[18:04] <pleia2> thank you :)
[18:04] <Pendulum> I'm listening now (although I'll admit that I was pretty put off by the 2nd e-mail they sent)
[18:05] <pleia2> yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that
[18:05] <pleia2> I am really uncertain what causes them to make the distinction (plenty of podcasts aren't on radio)
[18:06] <Pendulum> they don't like the reference to iPods
[18:06] <Pendulum> in fact, bleep out the word iPod
[18:06] <pleia2> ah
[18:06] <holstein> cool.i dont see a quick and easy way to download it... not sure if i'll have internet access in the car stable enough to stream it from soundcloud
[18:06] <pleia2> I'm also not thrilled that 3 guys use a women's name to send send emails, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish :)
[18:06] <Pendulum> I should mention that I'm almost 3 minutes in and the only thing I've gotten from it is the whole don't like iPods thing
[18:09] <Pendulum> you don't get to content until 4:50 out of a 30 minute thing. And it's not really easy to download
[18:10] <Pendulum> part of the differences between audiocasts and podcasts is supposedly the lack of XML tags (that I got from google, not listening to this)
[18:13] <pleia2> I guess I call everything that's a downloadable mp3 of spoken audio "show" a podcast
[18:14] <Pendulum> I do too
[18:14] <Pendulum> I only looked up what the difference was after that e-mail
[18:14] <Pendulum> but it doesn't seem to be the reasoning they use for the difference anyway
[18:14] <Pendulum> It seems to be some guys in the Vancouver LoCo
[18:35] <Pendulum> How much content do we care about? there's some content that's decent (discussing the pros of offline community), but I'm not sure that even half of the show was content vs. sound effects and silly noises and the hosts playing with words
[18:36] <Pendulum> also, it seems like it's very Vancouver-centric at the moment. It's hard to tell if that would change.
[18:37] <Pendulum> Personally, I feel like we could put a link under the "Audio & Video Content" section, but there's no real point in doing notes if they won't provide them
[18:38] <Pendulum> Also, there's no link to their e-mail address or anything other than a dropbox for feedback so I'm not sure how they think they can get their listeners to write notes unless they really just mean "the news team"
[18:39] <Pendulum> since there's no way to interact if you aren't someone who already knows the guys doing it
[18:41] <Pendulum> So I'm torn
[18:42] <Pendulum> there's no actual "they voilate CoC" or similar that would make me say that we should really not include them, but I have to say that I have no interest in ever listening again and that I don't think it's just lack of experience that is their problem
[19:38] <akgraner> pleia2, I'll listen as well
[19:40] <pleia2> thanks (and thanks for the feedback, Pendulum!)


[12:22] <sagaci> hi, I'd like to get involved with that Ubuntu Friendly programme, testing my computer for Ubuntu compatibility. Where should I go to find out more?
[13:59] <wcchandler> sagaci: look up testdrive.  It's a good starting point.
[14:00] <sagaci> that uses something like rsync to retrieve daily isos so it's not a huge 700MiB download each time, right?
[14:00] <sagaci> bandwidth is somewhat of a constraint unfortunately


[14:06] <samjnaa> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04/release/ doesn't show any alternate ISO for 16.04.2. Can anyone explain why? Thanks!
[14:17] <LioneLL> u can do with 16.04.1 (and then updates)
[14:34] <samjnaa> Yes that's possible but just wondering why no 16.04.2 alternate image when desktop image is provided.
