[12:03] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Zugwrack about java
[12:03] <Zugwrack> crimsun: Well according to installing fakeroot I do "apt-get install fakeroot java-package java-common
[12:04] <Zugwrack> Hi nalioth..already there...following instruction on the restricted howto
[12:06] <_starkruzr> okay.  so how do I run something as root from within KDE?
[12:06] <nalioth> !kdesu
[12:06] <ubotu> somebody said kdesu was :Use kdesu to run applications with root priveleges, when you  have to. Do *not* do sudo {GUIAPP}; you can muck up your permissions and the config files.   If it is not working, you may need to run "sudo adept-updater "
[12:06] <JabberWokky> crimsun: Yeah - I was thinking of that, but I figured an upgrade would wipe over my personally compiled version.
[12:06] <crimsun> JabberWokky: not if you pin it
[12:07] <JabberWokky> equivs looks like what I want... at the very least reading up on the usage and poking around gives me a good starting point to find how other people have screwed up.
[12:07] <crimsun> you don't really need equivs
[12:08] <crimsun> mplayer cvs compiles into a deb
[12:08] <crimsun> just install it and put the version on hold
[12:08] <_starkruzr> nalioth: apt-cache doesn't know what that is.
[12:09] <nalioth> _starkruzr: click "alt-f2" then "kdesu NAME_OF_KDE_APP_YOU_WANT_SUPERUSER_PRIVS_WITH"
[12:10] <jayjay> that got it! Thanks alot Osh
[12:12] <_starkruzr> nalioth: what I'm wondering about is this "administrator mode" button the FAQ talks about
[12:12] <_starkruzr> it says it's somewhere in Control Center, which I can't find
[12:12] <nicklas> When im trying to do kdesu konqueror, nothing happens? Worked 10min ago :S
[12:12] <Hobbsee_away> _starkruzr: bottom left corner on some of the pages, usually
[12:12] <Hobbsee_away> fairly obvious to find
[12:12] <_starkruzr> to wit: http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/network.html#network
[12:13] <Zugwrack> Ok so I am confused about the role of fakeroot in converting the executable .bin file for java 5 to a .deb file format?
[12:13] <JabberWokky> The only reason I use my compiled version is because I have a new set of control keys.  I'm just going to generate a patch (should be just a couple files)  and compile from cvs like you said.  Thanks.
[12:14] <_starkruzr> never mind, the FAQ was old
[12:15] <nalioth> Zugwrack: fakeroot is used by the user to compile software (compiling should never be done as superuser)
[12:16] <_starkruzr> so, I have an Intel integrated ipw2200.  why does the system never, ever, ever bring it up automatically?  and why is it that the Network Settings tool, when I hit Enable Interface on it, enables it for a split second and then disables it again?
[12:16] <Zugwrack> Ahh...thanks...I really had not read or heard that before....interesting...this holds true for the PPC stuff you do when compiling software?
[12:17] <nalioth> Zugwrack: it goes on any platform
[12:18] <nalioth> Zugwrack: a malicious configure script or makefile can wreak havoc if given superuser privs
[12:19] <Zugwrack> nalioth: Gotcha...thanks for the information..always a help :-)
[12:20] <starkruzr_> ok, back
[12:21] <starkruzr_> anyone have any ideas with respect to why my ipw2200 doesn't get brought up automatically?
[12:21] <crimsun> starkruzr_: have you modified /etc/network/interfaces?
[12:22] <starkruzr_> I have not.
[12:22] <crimsun> starkruzr_: pastebin it
[12:22] <crimsun> starkruzr_: lsb_release -r
[12:23] <starkruzr_> something is going on with my archives or connectivity or something.
[12:23] <starkruzr_> because apt is sloooooooooow.
[12:23] <starkruzr_> dear Lord
[12:25] <cerdg> If someone has a free moment, could I possibly get a bit of help?
[12:25] <starkruzr_> I can try, cerdg.
[12:25] <starkruzr_> !ask
[12:25] <nalioth> cerdg: if you ask a question, you may get many results
[12:25] <rjb> hey i believe i read somewhere that on amd64, konqueror can be set up to use the macromedia flash plugin - but i can't find it anymore
[12:25] <rjb> any idea?
[12:26] <starkruzr_> !tell cerdg about ask
[12:26] <starkruzr_> there we go
[12:26] <cerdg> I've set up Kubuntu for the first time (novice linux user personally), and I'm trying to get ndiswrapper to work
[12:26] <nalioth> ubotu: tell rjb about restricted
[12:26] <cerdg> It recognizes the hardware, but will not accept the essid
[12:26] <nalioth> ubotu: tell cerdg about ndiswrapper
[12:26] <cerdg> has anyone seen this before?
[12:27] <nalioth> cerdg: rjb: check y'alls private msgs for info
[12:27] <cerdg> thanks, you guys rock
[12:27] <rjb> big thanks but that's not a relevant answer
[12:28] <starkruzr_> (installing firefox because I can't stand Konqueror)
[12:29] <starkruzr_> where does the pastebin live again?
[12:29] <rjb> what i meant was like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava, except for konqueror
[12:29] <rjb> and someone claimed it can be done w/o installing a 32 bit konq
[12:29] <starkruzr_> !pastebin
[12:29] <ubotu> hmm... pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:30] <cerdg> alright, let me rephrase my question:  has anyone had problems or know of any problems setting up the essid portion of NDISwrapper in kubuntu?
[12:30] <starkruzr_> crimsun: it's in there now.
[12:30] <crimsun> starkruzr_: what is? url?
[12:30] <rjb> cerdg: does your AP brodcast its essid?
[12:31] <cerdg> yes
[12:31] <rjb> broadcast even
[12:31] <rjb> and encryption? WEP?
[12:31] <cerdg> yeah, and it sees it on a scan
[12:31] <cerdg> yes, but I have it turned off for the initial setup
[12:31] <cerdg> so not right this moment
[12:31] <starkruzr_> crimsun: it's the very first one on the list, under my name
[12:32] <crimsun> starkruzr_: I'm at work and don't have much time. Giving me a url is much appreciated.
[12:32] <rjb> hmm then it should work
[12:32] <nalioth> rjb: i suspect they were pulling your leg about the 32bit konq
[12:33] <starkruzr_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6703
[12:33] <rjb> nalioth, maybe - but i really want to use pandora.com w/o rebooting to windows ;-/
[12:33] <cerdg> well, if it helps, I am using the command 'iwconfig wlan0 essid [name of my essid] '
[12:33] <rjb> cerdg, and what happens..?
[12:34] <jahshua--> ok its slack time at the appolo!
[12:34] <jahshua--> w00t
[12:34] <cerdg> no error message appears, but if I use 'iwconfig wlan0' to see what has happened, ESSID is set to off/any
[12:35] <starkruzr_> do I just add map eth1 to that?
[12:35] <cerdg> and after asking the question, I believe I have my own answer, and now I feel kind of stupid
[12:36] <starkruzr_> and then iface eth1 inet dhcp
[12:36] <starkruzr_> er, eth0
[12:38] <starkruzr_> let's see if that fixes it.
[12:45] <_tyrell> how do I open applications developed for use in an x11 environment?
[12:47] <drynish> _tyrell: can't you just start them in kde?
[12:48] <leafw> did anyone succeed in having the exact same english international keyboard in kubuntu as it exists in the mac? (easy non-english chars with option+e, +u, +o, +`, +m for mu, +a for beta... ) ?
[12:50] <cerdg> thanks for letting me actually ask the question (now that I think I actually have my own answer)
[12:50] <cerdg> I now have a different problem to work through before I can do it though...I'll come back and let you guys know how it went
[12:51] <_tyrell> I found them only right now
[12:52] <_tyrell> I have neway the problem that when I open an X11 application it opens a lot of windows all together instead of just one
[12:52] <CGA> kkathman, ping
[12:53] <kkathman> hi CGA :)
[12:53] <CGA> hi =)
[12:53] <kkathman> wassup?
[12:54] <CGA> kkathman, i have the exact error , do you want it ? remember ? installing kubuntu dn error?
[12:54] <CGA> nothing special
[12:54] <CGA> just back from relatives from a dinner
[12:54] <kkathman> CGA sure lets see it
[12:54] <CGA> k
[12:55] <kkathman> if its too big, paste it in the pastbin
[12:55] <CGA> kkathman,  it fails at system base installation and returns this error: System installation error: debbotstrap failed with an error (2) check /target/var/log/bootstrap for details. but i didn't manage to check that
[12:55] <kkathman> CGA.. hmmm this is a new one on me...now this happens during the install?
[12:56] <CGA> kkathman, yes, during system base install
[12:56] <kkathman> CGA standard kubuntu install disk?
[12:56] <Patry> anyone knows what to do to enable my sound in Kubuntu 5.10?
[12:57] <CGA> kkathman, yes iso from mirrors
[12:57] <kkathman> that error doesnt make alot of sense
[12:58] <kkathman> I have no idea what debbotstrap is
[12:59] <CGA> kkathman, bootstrap is a process needed during install , basically it is to load the system
[12:59] <CGA> deb stands for debian bootstrap
[12:59] <kkathman> its debootstrap not debotstrap tho
[01:00] <CGA> yes sirry for typo
[01:00] <CGA> *sorry
[01:00] <kkathman> CGa one sec
[01:00] <CGA> ok
[01:01] <robotgeek> CGA: is the CD fine?
[01:01] <nicklas> Hey guys... I'm looking for a good video player, that can play xvid. The inbuilt kaffeine seems to fail on this... Which 1 would u suggest(And it would be orsm if it were in the package manager) thx
[01:01] <CGA> robotgeek, i'm not sure about that , the md5sum was ok , but the cd failed on 2 PCs
[01:01] <robotgeek> nicklas: install kaffeine-xine
[01:02] <kkathman> CGA this sounds like an error you would get on a pure debian system install
[01:02] <robotgeek> CGA: hmm, 2 PC's and same error
[01:02] <kkathman> when I look in Google for the error CGA, only things from Debian come up
[01:02] <kkathman> Im a bit puzzled
[01:02] <CGA> kkathman, that sounds odd, Kubuntu is a debain system at its core
[01:03] <nicklas> robotgeek: thx alot!
[01:03] <kkathman> CGA well I know, but its different in its booting
[01:03] <robotgeek> kkathman: really?
[01:03] <kkathman> CGA..could you attempt to get a kubuntu Live CD and try that?
[01:03] <CGA> kkathman, why?
[01:03] <kkathman> CGA I want to see if its purely a system issue
[01:03] <CGA> i see
[01:04] <CGA> i'll try that tomorrow , now it's almost time for sleeping here sorry
[01:04] <kkathman> if it happens with the LiveCD then there is something odd about the system (which I suspect)
[01:04] <kkathman> ahh ok..well let me know and we'll continue to work through it
[01:04] <CGA> kkathman, i'll try and i'll let you know
[01:04] <kkathman> great! Sorry you're having so much trouble :)
[01:07] <CGA> kkathman, robotgeek do you think it could be a too fast burning of the iso issue?
[01:07] <robotgeek> CGA: yes
[01:07] <kkathman> CGA could be yes
[01:07] <CGA> :P
[01:07] <robotgeek> CGA: sometimes burners screw up due to the complicated file system
[01:07] <robotgeek> happened to me a couple of times
[01:08] <kkathman> CGA - I usually burn my CDs no more than 8x and mostly at 4x just on the safe side
[01:08] <kkathman> especially when they are doing raw writes for images
[01:08] <CGA> robotgeek, well it is the first time it happens to me, i always have burned my iso with k3b with autromatic speed (around 16x usually)
[01:10] <satempler> where can I get the devs for libkcddb
[01:10] <satempler> they are not in the repos
[01:10] <Hobbsee> !info libkcddb
[01:11] <crimsun> are you sure you're not looking for libcddb2-dev?
[01:11] <satempler> ya
[01:11] <crimsun> so what provides libkcddb?
[01:11] <satempler> i am trying to build tellico
[01:11] <satempler> it requires libkcddb
[01:11] <satempler> for cd lookups
[01:11] <CGA> satempler, try to use apt-file search libkcddb
[01:11] <_tyrell> how do I transform .sh files in executables, or neway how do I get them to b executed?
[01:11] <crimsun> crimsun@garnish:~$ apt-cache madison libkcddb1
[01:11] <crimsun>  libkcddb1 | 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu2 | http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
[01:11] <crimsun> kdemultimedia | 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu2 | http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Sources
[01:11] <satempler> CGA its not in the repos
[01:12] <CGA> _tyrell, chmod +x foo
[01:12] <_tyrell> where?
[01:12] <_tyrell> in alt+f2?
[01:12] <CGA> foo means the name of the .sh
[01:12] <crimsun> satempler: install kdemultimedia-dev
[01:12] <CGA> in a terminal
[01:12] <_tyrell> ok
[01:13] <crimsun> satempler: of course it's much easier to ``sudo apt-get build-dep tellico''
[01:13] <_tyrell> the foo with all the path?
[01:13] <satempler> what is akode
[01:13] <CGA> _tyrell, well it depends, if you are in the same dir you give chmod +x ./foo otherwise you give full path
[01:14] <_rev> !fire
[01:14] <ubotu> _rev: Bugger all, i dunno
[01:14] <satempler> any one
[01:15] <_tyrell> when I do alt+f2 where do I practically launch the command?
[01:15] <CGA> _tyrell, what you mena? && please use the nick of the person you want to talk with
[01:15] <CGA> *mean
[01:17] <_tyrell> CGA, if I do alt+f2 it gives me the chance to send a command
[01:17] <_tyrell> is it in the root?
[01:17] <CGA> ohps
[01:18] <Patry> what is "esd"?
[01:19] <satempler> crimsun: thanks for that command that helps very much
[01:19] <CGA> Patry, should be enlightnement sound daemon
[01:19] <Patry> and what is it there for?
[01:19] <satempler> it IS alot easyer now to get development dependencys
[01:22] <Patry> I mean is it possible that my sound works if I kill it?
[01:22] <crimsun> Patry: your sound should work if esd isn't running, yes
[01:22] <Patry> how come?
[01:24] <pr1r> can someone show me a wiki or website on mp3/dvd playback and wmplayer playback
[01:25] <Hobbsee> !mp3
[01:25] <ubotu> hmm... mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[01:25] <pr1r> thank you
[01:25] <pr1r> im also looking for mplayer
[01:26] <pr1r> i had suse before today
[01:26] <pr1r> so
[01:26] <pr1r> still getting accustomeds
[01:26] <CGA> nite nite all && kkathman robotgeek i'll be back tomorrow and tell you if the iso burned slow worked or not.
[01:26] <kkathman> kewl CGA
[01:26] <nalioth> ubotu: tell pr1r about mplayer
[01:26] <pr1r> thanks
[01:33] <cerdg> Alright, it looks like I'll have to do a reinstall before I can let you guys know if what I was trying worked
[01:49] <dad> is there someone on channel who can assist me w/Kubuntu, want to share a folder in the filesystem with my Windows network, thought I would start wth Disk & Filesystems but when I try to enter admin mode using my password it doesn't "take"
[01:51] <dad> anybody home?
[01:51] <dark_suic> dad
[01:52] <dark_suic> first point, you need to install samba package
[01:52] <dad> did that
[01:53] <dad> is it typical that the Administrator mode on some of these panels doesn't work in kubuntuland?  I have not been able to get one to work in various panels
[01:54] <dark_suic> well, it can happen...
[01:54] <dark_suic> after installing samba package
[01:54] <dad> also tried to open a root console session but it closes immediately upon entering password
[01:55] <dark_suic> i would suggest you instead of disk & filesystem going to "sharing" under networking & internet
[01:55] <dark_suic> it's just there :p
[01:55] <dad> sharing, OK but I think I looked there and it let me share desktop but not files, I go check ...
[01:57] <dad> OK there it is but it wants admin mode and I don't have a button to click to go to admin mode and I think if I did it wouldn't work, based on other panels where it does show up
[01:57] <dark_suic> well, into admin mode you can share desktops but also other things
[01:57] <dad> OK, back to the admin question: is that the way its supposed to work?  Admin mode works or not, in (nearly) vanillla kubuntu?
[02:05] <dad> <sound of crickets and nothing else>
[02:10] <dad> is there a kubuntu user in the house?
[02:13] <dark_suic> wops..
[02:13] <dark_suic> sorry dad, i'm helping a friend with problems in pascal :P
[02:14] <dark_suic> admin mode should work
[02:14] <dad> np, dark_
[02:14] <dark_suic> in fact, i just edited my samba options in admin mode
[02:14] <dark_suic> you could try sudo kcontrol (in konsole)
[02:14] <dark_suic> or kdesu kcontrol in run command
[02:14] <dad> guess I'll try sudo konsole
[02:16] <nalioth> dad: dont start any gui apps with sudo
[02:17] <nalioth> ubotu: tell dad about kdesu
[02:17] <`Nomad> Hi,  I want to reinstall 5.10 from scratch, I think I installed too many unproven items and I'd liek to get a more stable system.. Does anyone know of the best way to back up Thunderbird email?  I just copied the original folder over the last time but I'd liek to do it right
[02:18] <nalioth> `Nomad: back up your ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
[02:18] <nalioth> `Nomad: the best way is to have your /home on a seperate partition
[02:18] <nalioth> then you don't have to worry about reinstalling, `Nomad
[02:20] <`Nomad> nalioth: I do have it that way, I just thought I,d wipe out even that and really start fresh.. I've been carrying my home directory through all sorts of distributions for years :)
[02:20] <nalioth> `Nomad: dont throw it away, just rename it _bak
[02:20] <`Nomad> oh of course :)
[02:20] <nalioth> then you can bring over things a piece at a time
[02:21] <`Nomad> I copy it off to a separate partition I use for Documents
[02:21] <`Nomad> or burn it to DVD actually.. yeah
[02:21] <nalioth> sounds like you've got the strategy
[02:23] <dad> dark_suic, got a strange error from kdesu kcontrol but got kcontrol open - where would sharing be, don't see it ............
[02:23] <dark_suic> mmm
[02:23] <dark_suic> network / internet or something like that....
[02:23] <dark_suic> although what you may need to configure first is samba...
[02:24] <nalioth> !samba
[02:24] <ubotu> it has been said that samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[02:24] <`Nomad> nalioth; And this time, I won't add any experimental repositories for a while ;)
[02:24] <vytautas> need an applet that would minimize all windows
[02:24] <vytautas> where could i find it?
[02:25] <nalioth> `Nomad: using non official binary repos WILL have harsh effects (tis why i have a big warning on my repo)
[02:25] <`Nomad> it,s called Desktop Access
[02:25] <vytautas> tanks
[02:25] <`Nomad> nalioth: Does that include the PLF?
[02:25] <nalioth> `Nomad: it does include the PLF
[02:25] <`Nomad> nalioth: And the ability to play MP3s, etc..
[02:26] <nalioth> `Nomad: mp3 capability lies in universe
[02:26] <nalioth> `Nomad: also multiverse
[02:26] <`Nomad> and DVD too?
[02:26] <`Nomad> I still don't quite understand the Universe vs. multiverse, etc
[02:26] <nalioth> `Nomad: PLF is obviously made up of very good marketing people
[02:26] <nalioth> dvd, mp3, flash are all in official repos
[02:26] <`Nomad> ok great.. Then I wonder what I ever got from PLF :)
[02:27] <nalioth> `Nomad: there are very few pkgs that PLF has that aren't in the repos
[02:27] <Hobbsee> what's plf?
[02:28] <nalioth> Hobbsee: a french ubuntu repo full of 'illegal' packages
[02:28] <Hobbsee> ah right
[02:28] <nalioth> most of which are in uni and multi
[02:38] <`Nomad> !repositories
[02:38] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[02:38] <`Nomad> Dapper?  Is it about ready already?
[02:38] <HymnToLife> anyone knows a Kopete plugin to display's amarok current song in nickname like on MSN ?
[02:38] <nalioth> it releases in april
[02:39] <`Nomad> ahh ok.. :)
[02:39] <nalioth> `Nomad: the versions of ubuntu are it's release dates  ;)
[02:39] <_jeremy> hi all, anyone here done any qt development in kubuntu themselves?
[02:39] <`Nomad> I wish the OTR plugin were for Kopete too, I,d switch to it.. I,d like all my apps to start with k. ;)
[02:39] <_jeremy> I'm trying just to get qthello.c to compile and get tons of errors on the include files /usr/include/qt3/q*
[02:40] <HymnToLife> `Nomad > if you know another app who can do it, I'm interested too :p
[02:40] <`Nomad> HymnToLife: Gaim does it just fine :)
[02:41] <HymnToLife> really ? I searched a bit for it and found nothing
[02:41] <HymnToLife> d'you have a link ?
[02:41] <`Nomad> brb
[02:41] <`Nomad> http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/
[02:42] <`Nomad> I've been using it for a long time
[02:42] <`Nomad> But kopete would be better, with video, etc..
[02:42] <`Nomad> Until one day I break down and buy a powerbook :)
[02:42] <HymnToLife> ok, thanks :)
[02:42] <`Nomad> np
[02:43] <robotgeek> `Nomad: OS X is overrated
[02:43] <`Nomad> well I'll install linux on it, I just love their hardware :)
[02:43] <dad> THANKS dark_suic
[02:44] <dark_suic> worked?
[02:45] <`Nomad> Hymn: I had installed OTR from source, but it looks like it's part of ubuntu now according to the site I gave you
[02:45] <`Nomad> apt-get install gaim-otr
[02:47] <slikdude2005> I am having a problem with internet
[02:48] <slikdude2005> I installed ndiswrapper, tried wpa thing and I tried just opening up my connections
[02:49] <nalioth> slikdude2005: wpa doesnt work too well with ndiswrapper
[02:49] <slikdude2005> I know
[02:49] <slikdude2005> I tried it w/ something else
[02:49] <slikdude2005> its not even wpa
[02:49] <slikdude2005> I even tried to connecting to my neighbors open network
[02:49] <slikdude2005> The internet still wouldn't work
[02:49] <slikdude2005> I got local ip not available
[02:49] <slikdude2005> and
[02:50] <slikdude2005> I never got on
[02:53] <kavit> hey I have a very quick question, if anyone can be of assistance. I come from the BSD world, how on earth do I automatically set my default gateway every time I start my computer up? I have route add at the moment.. I dont want to mess with /etc/network/* if I dont have to
[02:53] <kavit> I am sort of giving kubuntu a whirl
[02:54] <dad> dark_suic:   well   I got to the samba shares setting  tho I'm not sseeing it on the windddows net (but that's not unusual, will reboot  a winmmachine to see if that hhhhelllps)
[02:54] <kavit> also using settings:/Network from konq isn't setting it permanently, it gets reset every time I restart the computer...
[02:54] <dark_suic> u configured correctly all the shares?
[02:55] <mase_> wheres the kernel source located?
[02:55] <`Nomad> Can someone point me to a page that explains the different repositories? Universe vs Multiverse vs backports
[02:55] <kavit> mase_: check under /usr/src
[02:55] <mase_> not there.
[02:55] <Tm_T> !sources
[02:56] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[02:56] <kavit> it should be in that tree
[02:56] <nalioth> !repos
[02:56] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[02:56] <nalioth> wow double factoids!
[02:56] <mase_> theres nothing there
[02:56] <Tm_T> aye
[02:56] <kavit> mase_: make sure you have it installed.
[02:56] <`Nomad> Oh I knwo how to enable them, I want to knwo the differences,
[02:56] <mase_> a kernel? im pretty sure i have one..
[02:56] <Tm_T> `Nomad: maybe in those pagesthe differences is mentioned too, check
[02:57] <kavit> mase_: the kernel gets installed by default but not the source, you have to install that by hand use apt-get or adept or whatever
[02:57] <Tm_T> good night ->
[02:57] <mase_> yeah i used apt-get to upgrade it..
[02:57] <`Nomad> :(
[02:57] <mase_> so how do i check kernel support with a kernel installed by apt-get ?
[02:57] <kavit> mase_: you have to install the source seperately, its a seperate package to the kernel binary package.
[02:58] <TiCL> anyone have a working configuration of Intel High Def Audio controller with 5.10? The modules seems to be loaded out of the box, but I don't get any sound
[02:58] <`Nomad> For now, all I need to know for sure is "What reps are usually setup in a regular install?"
[02:58] <mase_> so theres no way for me to check what my kernel supports?
[02:58] <kavit> TiCL: might sound stupid but check the volume
[02:58] <TiCL> kavit: I did
[02:58] <kavit> TiCL: just checking, small things often ruin it  :)
[02:59] <kavit> TiCL: what does alsamixer say?
[02:59] <TiCL> kavit: yeah, even I hoped so :(
[02:59] <TiCL> kavit: i have PCM at full with alsamixer
[02:59] <kavit> TiCL: Konsole > type alsamixer (if you have ncurses)
[02:59] <kavit> ah
[03:00] <kavit> TiCL: another silly suggestion, check if the speakers are powered on and wired properly.
[03:00] <TiCL> kavit: do you know how to switch between digital and analog output?
[03:00] <TiCL> kavit: working fine under Windows
[03:00] <kavit> TiCL: nope sorry, not an audiophile... i just use a pair of headphones with an onboard sound card
[03:01] <Hobbsee> kavit: you shouldnt need to install ncurses for that to work, i dont think - it's either there by default, or you dont need it
[03:01] <crimsun> TiCL: pastebin the output from ``amixer''
[03:01] <kavit> now how do I configure the system to set the default gateway at boot time automatically with out me having to route add after every reboot
[03:02] <kavit> Hobbsee: you need ncurses if you want to run it from the console :P
[03:02] <TiCL> crimsun: I don't have access to that machine right now, could you give me a hint of what I should look for?
[03:02] <Hobbsee> really?  i dont remember having to install that..
[03:02] <kavit> Hobbsee: a lot of things use ncurses, it probably installed as a dependency somewhere...
[03:03] <Hobbsee> true
[03:03] <Hobbsee> i know i got ncurses-dev, but that was different
[03:03] <crimsun> TiCL: It's difficult if you're not using it.
[03:03] <TiCL> crimsun: would it indicate whether it is switched to digital output?
[03:04] <kavit> anyway I am going to try and mess with the init.d script and add a gateway there. lets see if it works, the gui tools are for the lack of a better word, useless
[03:04] <crimsun> TiCL: yes
[03:05] <robotgeek> kavit: you can probably set it in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:05] <TiCL> crimsun: so amixer can switch between digital and analog?
[03:05] <kavit> robotgeek: thats what I did, just added gateway
[03:05] <crimsun> TiCL: if the mixer element is present, yes
[03:06] <kavit> anyway this isnt bad, I might even run it for a few days and see how I like it compared to FreeBSD
[03:06] <kavit> the gui is well polished
[03:07] <kavit> and with the kubuntu theme kde looks good, you dont have the "someone vomited lots of bright colour on to the screen" look
[03:07] <robotgeek> lol
[03:08] <kavit> so any ideas on when kde 4 is coming out?
[03:08] <Tm_T> wai a year
[03:08] <Tm_T> wait
[03:08] <kavit> I am sick of gnome
[03:08] <kavit> ah
[03:08] <kavit> no devel packages? I havent looked
[03:08] <Tm_T> there is, sort of
[03:08] <Tm_T> and you can always compile working environment yourself
[03:09] <Tm_T> well, if you get it compiled
[03:09] <Tm_T> I don't =)
[03:09] <kavit> i wish xcompmgr worked properly, it is sweet for the 2 minutes it runs before it drowns and takes my DE with it
[03:09] <Tm_T> what's that
[03:09] <kavit> heh i got e17 running a long time back, i guess if i put time into it i could compile something but I'd rather just wait
[03:10] <Tm_T> aaah
[03:10] <robotgeek> Tm_T: for gui effects like drop-shadows
[03:10] <kavit> Tim_T its eyecandy, composite desktop
[03:10] <Tm_T> tim?
[03:10] <kavit> oh
[03:10] <kavit> Tm_T:
[03:10] <Tm_T> why people keep calling me tim :(
[03:10] <kavit> should use tab
[03:10] <Tm_T> use that yab!
[03:10] <kavit> because tab is too far for my pinky Tm_T
[03:10] <Tm_T> exactly =)
[03:10] <Tm_T> meh
[03:10] <robotgeek> kavit: map it to caps lock
[03:11] <Tm_T> now really, sleep ->
[03:11] <mase_> why doesnt my apt-get work ? it keeps telling me to do apt-get -f , but when i do that, it wants to remove a BUNCH of stuff
[03:11] <badway> boa noite
[03:12] <badway> gostaria de uma ajuda
[03:12] <badway> com o pppoeconf
[03:12] <kavit> robotgeek: nah, I like it the way it is, I mean while I do care a lot about Tm_T's feelings, I think that mistake wasn't fatal, drastic measures not warrantied
[03:12] <robotgeek> kavit: tab/compmgr?
[03:13] <kavit> robotgeek: tab
[03:13] <kavit> compmgr is just distracting after a first few gos
[03:14] <robotgeek> heh

[03:22] <s4lv1n0> Hey people, the new version of Kubuntu already has KDE 3.5 installed as default?
[03:23] <dark_suic> s4lv1n0, dapper u mean? yes :P
[03:23] <kavit> s4lv1n0: I downloaded 3.5 packages by adding "deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main" to my /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:24] <s4lv1n0> Oh, so the new version is called "dapper"?
[03:24] <s4lv1n0> kavit, But I want an ISO with the new KDE installed already
[03:25] <kavit> s4lv1n0: use the unstable version then, pardon me if I get the jargon wrong
[03:25] <s4lv1n0> ok, thanks

[03:46] <imy> Hey
[03:49] <Knowerrors> anyone know where to get libdivxdecore0 for ubuntu?
[03:50] <nalioth> Knowerrors: it's not in the repos?
[03:50] <jsubl2> apt-cache search libdivxdecore turn up anything
[03:50] <Knowerrors> nope
[03:50] <Knowerrors> well yes to second q
[03:50] <Knowerrors> avifile-divx-plugin - Divx4Linux video encoding plugin
[03:50] <nalioth> Knowerrors: i can try to build it for ya (what do you need it for?)
[03:51] <Knowerrors> This plugin requires separate installation of libdivxdecore and libdivxencore library which is not a part of this package nor Debian itself.
[03:52] <nalioth> Knowerrors: what plugin is this?
[03:52] <Knowerrors> avifile-divx-plugin
[03:53] <nalioth> Knowerrors: where did you get it? (and why do you need it?)
[03:53] <nalioth> i'm lost, sorry
[03:53] <Knowerrors> for ffmpeg manual building, its a depend for building
[03:54] <nalioth> Knowerrors: well, the sad thing is this: opendivx is no more
[03:54] <nalioth> Knowerrors: projectmayo folded in the past and is no longer with us
[03:55] <nalioth> and those files are (or were) part of project mayo
[03:55] <hawking> Does anybody know how I can configure xchat so that it will auto-accept download offers from irc?
[03:55] <sproingie> #xchat perhaps?
[03:56] <nalioth> hawking: not very advisable (probably why the feature isnt well known)
[03:57] <Knowerrors> guess I'll go to nerim.net to get it... Im running all ubuntu related repos, including plf and multi/uni
[03:58] <nalioth> Knowerrors: grab it manually
[03:58] <nalioth> those unofficial repos will cause you trouble
[03:59] <Knowerrors> Yeah, I'll just grab this one file in ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/a/avifile/
[04:00] <Knowerrors> without changing repos
[04:21] <rr73> how do i change samba so that the default windows user guest will be able to access my shares on my kubuntu box?
[04:36] <mase_> holy shiz
[04:36] <mase_> nalioth:
[04:36] <mase_> its deleting everyone lol
[04:36] <nalioth> everyone?
[04:37] <mase_> everything
[04:37] <mase_> deleted powermanagent stuff
[04:37] <mase_> a lot of things
[04:37] <mase_> kdm
[04:37] <mase_> kubuntudesktop
[04:37] <mase_> dunno why
[04:37] <nalioth> yes. this is why we are always preaching "use only official repos"
[04:37] <Hobbsee> mase_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu desktop after all that is finished
[04:37] <mase_> it deleted APT too
[04:37] <mase_> apt-get doesnt exist anymore
[04:38] <nalioth> mase_: ubuntu is based on debian SOURCE, not binaries. (the two are binarily incompatible to some extent)
[04:38] <mase_> well ubuntu should update their programs than
[04:38] <nalioth> mase_: as i pointed out in #ubuntu, a backup of your homedir is probably the easiest way
[04:38] <mase_> whatever i guess thats what ill have to do
[04:38] <nalioth> mase_: they get updated every 6 months
[04:38] <mase_> every 6 motnhs sucks
[04:38] <mase_> amsn is still 0.94
[04:38] <nalioth> beats debians release schedule
[04:39] <mase_> have to wait 6 months to get 0.95 ? :\
[04:40] <nalioth> not at all, i also said you could add ANY debian SOURCE repo and have apt-get build anything you want
[04:40] <mase_> well you said you cant have debian source repos
[04:41] <nalioth> mase_: i said debian BINARY repos are harmful
[04:42] <nalioth> mase_:  i tell this to folks every day
[04:42] <mase_> do me a favor nalioth
[04:42] <mase_> paste this back to me after my format
[04:42] <mase_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6725
[04:42] <mase_> i'll brb in like 40 mins
[04:43] <nalioth> ok
[04:47] <ggodin> Well I'm back, brand new installation :)
[04:48] <ggodin> Only thing missing is having detected the proper monitor, so I<m stuck at 60Hz with interlacing
[04:49] <nalioth> !fixres
[04:49] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:53] <ggodin> thanks
[04:53] <ggodin> brb
[05:03] <`Nomad> what does it mean if my new installation, upeon reboot, stops on "battery check".   It's a desktop.. IPCA was OFF in bios, turned it on, no diff
[05:03] <`Nomad> stuck on "Checking Battery State"
[05:08] <rr73> how do i change samba so that the default windows user guest will be able to access my shares on my kubuntu box?
[05:12] <rr73> any ideas?
[05:12] <rr73> no?
[05:12] <rr73> out of 131 people noone has ANY ideas?
[05:13] <rance> I just got here, so I dont know the question
[05:13] <rr73> how do i change samba so that the default windows user guest will be able to access my shares on my kubuntu box?
[05:14] <rance> all of that is controled by the smb.conf file, there is a guest user allow switch for each share
[05:14] <rance> but I should add are the windows clients xp?
[05:15] <rr73> hell no
[05:15] <rr73> xp sux
[05:15] <rr73> 2k pro
[05:16] <rr73> so what?
[05:16] <rance> ok, there is a small problem, not sure if it happens with 2kpro or not, but for xp pro there are no guest users becuase xp pro broadcasts the user name of the user who is logged in to the windows box instead of a guest account
[05:16] <ffrnk> !network printer
[05:16] <ubotu> ffrnk: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[05:16] <rr73> thats fine
[05:17] <ffrnk> !printer
[05:17] <ubotu> I guess printer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[05:17] <rance> I had to create a samba user to match the windows login
[05:17] <rr73> windows is fine
[05:17] <rr73> ur the most helpful person today
[05:17] <rr73> even tho i just forgot to check the file
[05:17] <rance> you got lucky and asked a question I knew the answer to
[05:18] <`Nomad> I'm installing the nvidia drivers from their site.. running into a wrong version of GCC error, kernel was compiled with 3.4, I run 4.0.  is that really a problem or can it be ignored?
[05:19] <rr73> i have guest ok = on
[05:19] <rr73> i think its somin in global i need to change
[05:20] <dark_suic> i just can tell that i haven't been able to allow guests from win2k to enter a samba server wiith guets ok = on...
[05:20] <dark_suic> (and yes, the resource was configured to allow guests)
[05:21] <dark_suic> that's the main reason for my lan to be in sharing mode...
[05:21] <rr73> than why does my other samba server work?
[05:21] <dark_suic> i don't know, i just said that i haven't been able to make it work, not that it won't work :P
[05:21] <dark_suic> maybe you're missing something i also missed...
[05:21] <dark_suic> but if you have another server...
[05:22] <dark_suic> won't be sensible to copy - paste the smb.conf file and do the modifications?
[05:22] <dark_suic> just a question, may be wrong, quite newbie on linux...
[05:23] <rr73> i guess
[05:23] <Hobbsee> or at least compare the two files for differences
[05:23] <dark_suic> yep :P
[05:23] <dark_suic> i just thought about that...
[05:23] <rr73> but i might have made a user on my other computer
[05:23] <rr73> don't remember
[05:24] <dark_suic> :P
[05:25] <dark_suic> well, going to bed, hope that it works... i think i will look at ubuntuguide tomorrow, but it's 5:30 am now here...
[05:25] <dark_suic> see you
[05:25] <rr73> Fri Jan  6 22:25:29 CST 2006
[05:27] <rr73> kubuntu doesnt use a smbuser file?
[05:28] <nalioth> dark_suic: ubuntuguide will not help you.
[05:28] <nalioth> !ubuntuguide
[05:28] <ubotu> rumour has it, ubuntuguide is out of date, reported to break a lot an generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[05:29] <dark_suic> ok, thx nalioth
[05:29] <dark_suic> kudos could help????
[05:29] <mase> nalioth:  im backkkkkkkk
[05:29] <mase> reinstalled
[05:29] <nalioth> dark_suic: i know nothing about samba
[05:29] <nalioth> mase: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6725
[05:30] <mase> why thanks
[05:30] <mase> how do i get root on kubuntu again?
[05:30] <dark_suic> nalioth, kudos i said i'm refering to the kudos unofficial kubuntu guide not just samba :P
[05:30] <nalioth> mase: you don't
[05:30] <nalioth> mase: use suso
[05:30] <nalioth> sudo
[05:30] <nalioth> blah
[05:30] <nalioth> ubotu: tell mase about root
[05:31] <rr73> why is SuSE easier for stuff like this?
[05:32] <rr73> i have had problems that took monthes to fix
[05:32] <rr73> and with SuSE took days
[05:32] <rr73> or weeked
[05:32] <mase> alright nalioth
[05:32] <mase> tell me about repos
[05:32] <mase> im defualt right now
[05:32] <mase> send me yours or something so i can have something nice
[05:32] <mase> !refresh rate
[05:32] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, mase
[05:32] <nalioth> ubotu: tell mase about repos
[05:32] <mase> !hz
[05:32] <ubotu> mase: Do they come in packets of five?
[05:33] <mase> how can i change my refresh rate..
[05:33] <mase> its locked at 55 and wont go higher
[05:33] <rr73> least i can figure basic stuff out
[05:33] <ffrnk> edit your /ect/X11/xorg/xorg/conf three mase
[05:33] <ffrnk> three = there
[05:34] <ffrnk> google for you monitor specs
[05:34] <ffrnk> and that would be your /etc/X11/xorg.conf sorry
[05:34] <mase> i uncommented everything on sources.list
[05:34] <ffrnk> ya well this doesn't get set in the sources
[05:34] <ffrnk> you have to do this manually
[05:34] <Silver_Adept> ...if I've done that, input them, and then had an error spat back at me that while X could find a screen, there were no modes that it could use, then what?
[05:35] <Set> Can I go to sleep, even though my head hurts?
[05:35] <ffrnk> you went outside your settings there silver
[05:35] <rr73> any ideas?
[05:35] <Silver_Adept> Excepting that I know this monitor can do the refresh rate I want it to.
[05:35] <mase> whats horizontal sync?
[05:35] <ffrnk> you have to google your monitor for your exact specs
[05:36] <ffrnk> or things will get screwed up
[05:36] <mase> kay
[05:36] <ffrnk> do google <your monitor> xorg.conf
[05:36] <Silver_Adept> I was sure I had the exact specs. It's a Dell Monitor on an nVidia card...
[05:36] <ffrnk> i bet someone else has exactly what specs you need
[05:36] <ffrnk> or tell me your monitor and i'll get it for ya
[05:37] <rr73> who uses samba?
[05:37] <ffrnk> what was the exact error silver?
[05:37] <Silver_Adept> I don't remember the exact error, but I believe it was something like:
[05:37] <Silver_Adept> (ERR) X has found a Screen, but there are no modes it can use.
[05:37] <mase> k i changed it
[05:38] <mase> saved the xorg.conf
[05:38] <mase> now do i have to reboot?
[05:38] <rr73> no
[05:38] <ffrnk> you maybe changed the identifyer and didn't change it somewhere else where it uses it
[05:38] <rr73> hit ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:38] <Silver_Adept> That's possible.
[05:38] <rr73> restart  X server
[05:38] <ffrnk> all you do it ya what rr73 said
[05:38] <rr73> he did
[05:38] <Silver_Adept> Is there more than one place in the xorg.conf file that I have to change?
[05:38] <ffrnk> ya i use samba there rr but it isn't playing nice now
[05:39] <ffrnk> nope
[05:39] <rr73> my windows 2k likes my SuSE and the other windows box but not kubuntu
[05:39] <rance> does anybody use wine? im thinking about how I should configure mine
[05:40] <Silver_Adept> Could you find the right exacts for me, then, ffrnk? It's a Dell 1025TM monitor on top of an nVidia GeForce 4 Ti4200 video card.
[05:40] <mase> ah that worked
[05:40] <rr73> can u help me with mny problem now mase?
[05:40] <mase> now how do i update everything
[05:40] <mase> what problem rr73
[05:40] <ffrnk> update what mase
[05:40] <Silver_Adept> Rance, I've considered it, but I haven't actually loaded it yet - the default configuration program seemed pretty robust, though.
[05:40] <mase> just update .... everything.
[05:41] <ffrnk> use apt or the gui on kmenu
[05:41] <rr73> smaba configuration for windows 2k box

[05:47] <ffrnk> i'll poke around 1 minute
[05:47] <mase> whats multiverse for
[05:48] <mase> i just uncommented all of them..
[05:48] <mase> the backport has a multiverse i think
[05:53] <nalioth> mase: multiverse is for things with patents (but are free for personal use)
[05:54] <mase> well how do i add them then?

[06:16] <pr1r> can someone show me a wiki on installing flash for firefox
[06:17] <JabberWokky> pr1r: Go to site with Flash.  Click on "Install flash" link.
[06:17] <pr1r> ok and when ive extracted it onto the desktop what do i do next
[06:18] <pr1r> already downloaded it
[06:18] <ggodin> How can I find out which repository has baghira and ksmoothdock?
[06:18] <JabberWokky> pr1r: Ah.  I thought it ran automatically.  What's it called?  Something.sh, right?
[06:18] <pr1r> install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
[06:19] <ggodin> or asked another way, is it ok to use universe and multiverse and backports?
[06:20] <ilba7r> ggodin are you running ubontu on a server or for personal use
[06:20] <ggodin> personal
[06:20] <ilba7r> than installing for universe multiverse and backport should be fine
[06:20] <`Nomad> ok, thanks..
[06:20] <JabberWokky> Blearg.  Easy if you know what to do, but they didn't exactly make it simple for somebody new to Linux.  Okay, you can right click and choose "Extract" and "Extract to install_flash_player_7/"
[06:21] <ilba7r> !flash
[06:21] <ubotu> from memory, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
[06:21] <JabberWokky> Then you'll have a new folder on your desktop named "install_flash_player_7"
[06:21] <`Nomad> I guess I must have had extra reps before, I was sure that baghira styles and ksmoothdock were in repositories
[06:21] <ilba7r> you can install flashplayer-mozilla package too
[06:21] <`Nomad> !FreeFormats
[06:21] <ubotu> I heard freeformats is There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[06:21] <crimsun> use flashplugin-nonfree, not flashplayer-mozilla
[06:22] <ilba7r> crimsun what is the diff?
[06:22] <Silver_Adept> ffrnk - Thanks a bunch! It's not 100Hz, but 85 is better than 60. I can't see the waves anymore.
[06:22] <ffrnk> nice
[06:22] <crimsun> the latter is illegally distributed (Macromedia's EULA forbids external distribution), so the former uses a Ruby script to download it from a Macromedia-approved Web site
[06:23] <rr73> any news on samba?
[06:23] <ilba7r> ok thanx for the information crimsun :)
[06:23] <JabberWokky> crimsun: Oooo... nice.  I didn't know there was a "download and install" package.
[06:23] <Silver_Adept> Thank you very much for your help - what we really need is either for Dapper to be able to detect properly or to maintain a page for proper settings for monitor types.
[06:24] <JabberWokky> pr1r: You'd be better off using that... crimsun, what is the name of the Macromedia downloading package?
[06:24] <`Nomad> where is flashplugin-nonfree installed from?
[06:24] <crimsun> it's installed from multiverse
[06:25] <ffrnk> !samba share
[06:25] <ubotu> ffrnk: What?
[06:25] <ffrnk> !samba
[06:25] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[06:25] <pr1r> thank you
[06:25] <pr1r> i weill try now
[06:25] <pr1r> will
[06:26] <Silver_Adept> Thanks again. And now, I'm off to wreak havok with my Breezy Badger.
[06:29] <StarKruzr> can someone recommend me a good KDE ftp and sftp client?
[06:29] <crimsun> konqueror?
[06:29] <crimsun> kbear?
[06:29] <StarKruzr> I usually use WinSCP and SmartFTP on Windows.
[06:29] <StarKruzr> konqueror doesn't speak ftp or sftp, it appears.
[06:29] <crimsun> it does
[06:29] <ffrnk> to windows box StarKruzr ?
[06:30] <StarKruzr> shouldn't matter what I'm ftping TO, should it?
[06:30] <StarKruzr> it's actually another Ubuntu box though.
[06:30] <ffrnk> well you could scp
[06:30] <ffrnk> and use fish in konqueror
[06:30] <nalioth> kftpgrabber
[06:30] <StarKruzr> yes, if I wanted to be bothered with wildcards instead of graphically selecting things :)
[06:30] <ffrnk> and that is graphically
[06:31] <ffrnk> fish://server.ip.ya
[06:31] <StarKruzr> ?  scp is a commandline tool
[06:31] <ice_1963> well how is kubuntu running?
[06:31] <ffrnk> ya command, but fish does it gui
[06:31] <ffrnk> secure copy
[06:31] <ffrnk> and you can doe it remote also
[06:31] <ffrnk> same command
[06:32] <ffrnk> different usage for remote
[06:32] <ffrnk> or just use fish
[06:32] <StarKruzr> okay, let's see how that goes
[06:32] <StarKruzr> while we're at it, is there any way to change the features on my touchpad?  Kubuntu seems to be incredibly sensitive to possible taps on it and it's making it randomly select things as I move the mouse around
[06:34] <ffrnk> not sure what you are asking there
[06:34] <StarKruzr> I have a touchpad on my Toshiba Portege M205 laptop.
[06:34] <StarKruzr> (well, tablet)
[06:34] <ffrnk> ohh touchpad.. dah..
[06:34] <ffrnk> sorry don't know
[06:34] <StarKruzr> under KDE it seems to be REALLY sensitive to detecting taps.
[06:35] <StarKruzr> GNOME didn't have that problem and neither does Windows, but KDE is really... well, touchy.
[06:38] <StarKruzr> and why does Adept seem to sometimes take forever to load and then just self-destruct before even asking me for my root pass?
[06:38] <ice_1963> windows suck
[06:38] <ffrnk> i have same issues StarKruzr, maybe bug.. don't know
[06:38] <StarKruzr> Windows is useful for some tasks, just as Linux is
[06:39] <ice_1963> what
[06:39] <ffrnk> very true there StarKruzr
[06:39] <ffrnk> ya try shockwave
[06:39] <ffrnk> use apt
[06:40] <ffrnk> the one built in on KDE, the GUI is nice,
[06:40] <StarKruzr> if I use apt, do I not have to worry about it not creating icons in my KDE menu?
[06:40] <boga> I need to grab KDE 3.5 devel packages. Where are they?
[06:40] <Alterscapes> Ok, simple (and probably) stupid question: the command to install fglrx on Breezy 5.10 (sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx) fails with "can't find package" and there's no such package in the Adept list.. is the wiki wrong, or do I just need to add a nonstandard repository?
[06:40] <ffrnk> i've had it not create them sometimes.. but most of the time it does StarKruzr
[06:41] <blackflag> hello all :)
[06:41] <StarKruzr> greetings, ye of the good taste in punk rock
[06:41] <ffrnk> probably have to add a  repository, or apt-get update
[06:41] <ilba7r> !repos
[06:41] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[06:41] <ice_1963> if you like windows so much jest use windows
[06:41] <Alterscapes> thanks guys.
[06:42] <blackflag> the easiest way:
[06:42] <ffrnk> umm you started the whole hate windows there ice_1963
[06:42] <blackflag> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[06:43] <ice_1963> you bet
[06:43] <ilba7r> ice_1963 so far i run linux all the time but some hardware are still not supported on it and i have to revert to window for that . tha most common in my case is scanning and printing
[06:43] <ffrnk> try scanning with vuescan there ilba7r
[06:43] <ilba7r> my printer scanner is still not supported ffmk
[06:44] <ilba7r> lexmark allinone
[06:44] <ffrnk> ahh all in one
[06:44] <pr1r> ok so every tim ei try to install flash or mplayer it tells me that it couldnt find the package
[06:44] <pr1r> and i already added the repositories that were necessary
[06:44] <blackflag> try the link above
[06:45] <blackflag> source-o-matic is very cool
[06:45] <ice_1963> what kind of printer do you have ilba7r ??
[06:45] <StarKruzr> nalioth, apt has never heard of kftpgrabber.
[06:45] <Alterscapes> ok, I just enabled universe for adept, still can't find xorg-driver-fglrx. Strange..
[06:46] <Alterscapes> wait
[06:46] <nalioth> StarKruzr: nope. i need to fix that. you'll have to google and build it
[06:46] <Alterscapes> I'm stupid.. nevermind.
[06:47] <StarKruzr> nalioth: fair enough.
[06:47] <blackflag> pr1r: did you run apt-get update?
[06:48] <ilba7r_> ice_1963, see another linux neousence the laptop is optimized to run fast regardless of the temp that the machine overheat and just shutdown
[06:50] <StarKruzr> hey, you know what's awesome?  when you tell apt to install something, hit Y for "Do you want to continue [Y/n] ?" and it JUST FREAKING SITS THERE
[06:50] <StarKruzr> interesting.  it was kdesu's fault.
[06:52] <ilba7r_> StarKruzr, you can run synaptic on kde i used to do that
[06:52] <StarKruzr> huh?
[06:52] <StarKruzr> I thought synaptic was for GNOME specifically.
[06:52] <ilba7r_> nope
[06:52] <StarKruzr> well then
[06:52] <StarKruzr> forget this Adept noise
[06:52] <ilba7r_> frankly i am running ion and installed packages from gnome and kde
[06:53] <ice_1963> who has java installed in kde?
[06:53] <ilba7r_> for i really like kdeprint but prefer other gnome applications. and really like ion
[06:53] <StarKruzr> "ion"?
[06:53] <boga> ice_1963: me
[06:53] <ice_1963> fakeroot
[06:53] <ilba7r_> it is a window manager not an eye candy but for someone who write lots of code is good
[06:53] <pr1r> blackflag:no i didnt do that yet
[06:54] <ilba7r_> do not recommend it as starter but you can google on it ion3 window manager
[06:54] <StarKruzr> I'm not quite a starter
[06:54] <StarKruzr> but I confess to being less than impressed with KDE so far
[06:54] <boga> I need to beautify my fonts. Where's the hOWTO?
[06:54] <boga> StarKruzr: me too.
[06:54] <StarKruzr> I was way more impressed with GNOME
[06:54] <pr1r> blackflag: unable to lock the list directory
[06:54] <boga> Gnome was worse in my case
[06:55] <StarKruzr> Linus is full of shit.  anything "advanced" you need to do you can do in a CLI window and it doesn't break anything
[06:55] <ilba7r_> StarKruzr, give it a try if you do not like it uninstall. you need to read the manual though to properly use it. I like it and fluxbox for they are light weight
[06:55] <boga> In my case, fonts in KDE look really ugly!
[06:55] <StarKruzr> a lot of people talk about how good fluxbox is
[06:55] <ice_1963> boga do you have flashplayer installed and how is your sound??
[06:55] <ilba7r_> boga i agree did not like the icons menu organization or fonts preferred gnome
[06:55] <StarKruzr> boga: are you getting this thing where the letters kind of overlap each other and erase parts of each other?
[06:55] <boga> yes I do. Sound is good
[06:56] <boga> StarKruzr: yeap
[06:56] <StarKruzr> :/
[06:56] <StarKruzr> I've been ignoring it so far
[06:56] <boga> To me, the fonts are "killing" my apetite for KDE
[06:57] <StarKruzr> ahhhh, sweet sweet synaptic!
[06:57] <StarKruzr> how I missed you
[06:57] <ice_1963> fluxbox is good
[06:57] <boga> To Kubuntu's credit, http://video.google.com works fine
[06:57] <StarKruzr> dude
[06:57] <StarKruzr> are you for real?
[06:57] <StarKruzr> doesn't work for me
[06:57] <ice_1963> but so is blackbox
[06:57] <boga> me?
[06:58] <StarKruzr> yeah
[06:58] <ilba7r_> StarKruzr, do you mean synaptic does not work?
[06:58] <boga> have flash installed? That's all you requir
[06:58] <boga> require
[06:58] <ilba7r_> oh you address boga sorry
[06:58] <boga> ?
[06:59] <StarKruzr> boga: the video is out of sync with the sound
[07:00] <StarKruzr> ilba7r_: no, it works great
[07:00] <StarKruzr> brb
[07:00] <boga> Yr system has the problem. What I find ugly is the fact that I have no controls on the video as in Windows!
[07:05] <_kaenat> What can I use to resize my LVM partitions?
[07:07] <ilba7r_> _kaenat, check qtparted do not use it till you read the man on it
[07:08] <pr1r> i have another problem... when i go into terminal to get update it says Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[07:08] <pr1r> and now i cant get into adept
[07:08] <pr1r> i totally suck
[07:09] <pr1r> how do i fix this now
[07:09] <_kaenat> ilba7r_: man qtparted has a two line description
[07:09] <ilba7r_> pr1r, can you paste in the pastebin your sources.list file
[07:10] <ilba7r_> _kaenat, google on it sorry i know it is used for partitioning but do not use it frequently that is why better to read before you work with it
[07:10] <pr1r> illba7r: totally new just switched from suse... i wasnt really good at that eighther just liked kde... whats pastebin
[07:10] <ilba7r_> !pastebin

[10:24] <mth`MAW> moin
[10:24] <mth`MAW> helo i ment
[10:25] <mth`MAW> sorry, wrong channel with from language :)
[11:04] <DjDarkman> hy ,i need to partition my hard drive ,i`a mixed with vfats and linux partitions ,please recomend me some programs that will do the job nicely
[11:05] <nalioth> DjDarkman: use a liveCD and gparted
[11:07] <DjDarkman> nalioth: will it brake my intalation if i partition with that?
[11:08] <DjDarkman> nalioth: in the past i tried to partition with partiton magic in window$ and i got a "kernel panic" eroro
[11:13] <DjDarkman> can`t I partition here ,to make sure everything goes right?
[11:13] <nalioth> DjDarkman: using the LiveCd should present no problem
[11:13] <Chousuke> DjDarkman: You will have to tell linux about the changes in the partitioning. Also, depending on what you do the partitioning may destroy data.
[11:13] <Chousuke> :p
[11:13] <nalioth> DjDarkman: read the man pages before you start any partitioning and as always, BACK UP THE STUFF YOU WANT TO KEEP
[11:15] <Chousuke> DjDarkman: if you touch only free space while partitioning, you'll probably be safe.
[11:15] <Chousuke> with free space I mean unpartitioned free space.
[11:16] <DjDarkman> I know what is partitioning ,I only had problems with partitioning when I have a linux installed ,but how can I tell my linux that I modified the partition table ,I must edit the fstab?
[11:17] <nalioth> DjDarkman: correct
[11:18] <DjDarkman> is that gparted on the ubuntu live cd?
[11:20] <nalioth> DjDarkman: it is. or you can install qtparted if you like (apt-get works on the liveCD)
[11:20] <DjDarkman> hmmm ,ok 10x
[12:02] <nicklas> Goodmorning everybody... I got a fat32 partition, where i only got read rights. I like to have read write rights... In the console i type: kdesu konqueror, i type my root password and locate the partition. Rightclick on it, choose propertites, changes the rights. But when i check again, if it has changed.. It hasnt. Nothing happens :S
[12:04] <nanda> hello
[12:04] <nanda> I am having a little trouble installing vmware under kubunu
[12:04] <nanda> it says my version of gcc is too recent, I need to recompile the kernel
[12:04] <nanda> how do I do this?
[12:05] <nalioth_zZz> nicklas: you have to modify your fstab perms
[12:05] <nalioth_zZz> nanda: install gcc-3.4
[12:06] <nanda> nalioth: ok, I'll try that
[12:06] <nanda> should I remove gcc-4?
[12:07] <nalioth_zZz> nanda: nope. you can have all the gcc versions you like
[12:07] <nanda> nalioth: thanks
[12:08] <nalioth_zZz> nanda: you are running the vmware stuff in a console, right? type CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 COMMAND
[12:08] <nanda> nalioth: yes, its in the console. should I enter that string during the config, or outside?
[12:10] <nalioth_zZz> nanda: whatever your command is, put it in place of COMMAND as i wrote above
[12:10] <nicklas> nalioth_zZz: thx
[12:14] <nanda> its letting me continue the config now, but now I am having trouble locating the C Header files
[12:14] <nalioth_zZz> you'll need kernel-headers
[12:14] <nanda> ok
[12:14] <nalioth_zZz> use adept to search for and install them
[12:15] <nalioth_zZz> you may also need linux-source
[12:16] <nalioth_zZz> good night
[12:17] <nicklas> nalioth_zZz: Allright. How should i change my fstab perm. This is a copy of the line:
[12:17] <nicklas>  /dev/hda5       /media/hda5     vfat    defaults        0       0
[12:18] <nanda> thanks for your help, slowly getting there...
[12:19] <nalioth_zZz> nicklas: /dev/hda5       /media/hda5     vfat    rw,uid=000        0       0
[12:19] <nalioth_zZz> good night
[12:19] <nicklas> nice, thx... Goodnight
[12:20] <TheOldGuy> how do I change my password?
[12:27] <mth`MAW> type passwd
[12:40] <yeoheric> Just burnt the latest ISO of Kubuntu and when booted I tried to boot up from my laptop....the error msg was error reading from file system /dev/hdc and it stopped
[12:40] <yeoheric> any ideas?
[12:40] <Hobbsee> did you check the md5 sum of the cd, to see if it burnt correctly?
[12:40] <yeoheric> yes it is ok
[12:50] <berkes> a while ago someone here pointed me to a great -in development- app that was a KDE frontend and kpart for xine.
[12:50] <berkes> i forgot the name and forgot do de.lirio.us it.
[01:01] <Dreamless> Hey, is there a script that will install all restricted formats on kubuntu?
[01:02] <Tm_T> all?
[01:02] <Dreamless> yes i think there was on for ubuntu but i cant find it
[01:03] <Hobbsee> !easyubuntu
[01:03] <ubotu> [easyubuntu]  a script to install several popular things. It is by nature not 100% safe but better than its alternatives. More info in #easyubuntu
[01:03] <Tm_T> never saw any good one, though easyubuntu might be ok
[01:03] <Tm_T> I prefer doing things using apt-get, it's not hard
[01:04] <Tm_T> and you might learn something
[01:04] <Dreamless> Whats the difference between easybreezy and easyubuntu?
[01:05] <Dreamless> Tm_T: i know i have allready install my ati radeon mobility 9700 card with the fglrx drivers :)
[01:05] <Dreamless> im using freebsd normally
[01:07] <Dreamless> Guess im lazy :)
[01:10] <Hobbsee> !+easybreezy
[01:10] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, Hobbsee
[01:11] <Tm_T> Dreamless: I have installed lots of stuff, and I still learn things every day... and well, lazyness is always good excuse... ;)
[01:13] <Tm_T> uf, time to test gnome filedialog, if it still have problems
[01:13] <Dreamless> Tm_T: Yeah :)
[01:16] <athlon> anyone here managed to get cedega to play warcraft 3 in breezy ?
[01:16] <athlon> I used to be able to but after upgrading kernel, upgrading KDE to 3.5, upgrading NVIDIA driver et cetera, cedega would just crash if I try to play warcraft
[01:17] <Hobbsee> athlon: might want to ask that in #cedega if you get no answer here
[01:17] <athlon> gotcha
[01:18] <Tm_T> there's reason why you pay for it
[01:18] <Tm_T> right? right?
[01:18] <Tm_T> ;)
[01:18] <Hobbsee> hehe
[01:18] <Chousuke> athlon: Try with wine :p
[01:18] <athlon> aint gonna work
[01:19] <Chousuke> Why not? as far as I know wine supports warcraft 3
[01:19] <Tm_T> it does
[01:19] <athlon> hm, do I have to start it with a different parameter or something ?
[01:20] <Chousuke> I don't know.
[01:20] <Chousuke> read wikis or something.
[01:20] <athlon> yah, doing it right now

[01:34] <nic> Hi there, I have a Q regarding GRUB
[01:35] <Hobbsee> !+ask
[01:35] <ubotu> rumour has it, ask is Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model, outputs of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl is important. Better questions more frequently yield better answer. Keeping the question in one line makes it easier to read. See also http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[01:36] <_iCEy> dark_suic is xchat on the install disc then?
[01:36] <Hobbsee> _iCEy: for kubuntu?  no
[01:37] <_iCEy> kk i downladed & extracted earlier but said no c compiler
[01:37] <_iCEy> got gcc but struggling to install it cuz i suich a n00b
[01:37] <_iCEy> lol
[01:37] <Hobbsee> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:38] <Hobbsee> but why are you trying to compile xchat in the first place?
[01:38] <_iCEy> what that one do Hobbsee
[01:38] <dark_suic> that's why i said sudo apt-get install xchat
[01:38] <_iCEy> was suggested to install that way
[01:38] <dark_suic> it should be on the main repo, i think
[01:38] <_iCEy> what sudo apt do?
[01:38] <Hobbsee> no, you want sudo apt-get install xchat
[01:38] <Hobbsee> !tell _iCEy about apt-get
[01:38] <Hobbsee> have a look at what ubotu sent you
[01:38] <_iCEy> !tell _iCEy about apt-get
[01:39] <_iCEy> thx man
[01:39] <_iCEy> lol : Sorry. The page you have requested does not exist.
[01:41] <nic> I was trying to bring back a dead partition and I tried all sorts of method, eventually i used a winxp installer cd to detect all the partiotions and I successfully formatted the dead partition. when I reboot my system it boot from my winxp partition without GRUB, is there anyway I can get my GRUB back?
[01:44] <drynish> nic yes... boot with a live cd
[01:44] <drynish> and reinstall grub
[01:45] <drynish> mount your old system
[01:45] <drynish> chroot in it
[01:45] <drynish> and launch grub-install /dev/hda (exemple)
[01:48] <nic> it sounds easy let me try it - tx drynish - will let u know if i managed
[01:48] <drynish> Just forget the sentence: and reinstall grub
[01:49] <TheOldGuy> Blah!
[01:49] <drynish> Bleh!
[01:51] <nic> drynish- can't comm privately i'm not reged member
[01:54] <drynish> ok :)
[01:54] <drynish> Just register yourself ;)
[01:55] <drynish> Is it easy to run dapper?
[01:55] <C-O-L-T> I AM CURRENTLY AWAY
[02:07] <Perversus> hi all
[02:07] <Perversus> Hola a todos
[02:08] <jpat|away> Perversus: puedes ir a #kubuntu-es ?
[02:08] <Perversus> ok Thank you
[02:15] <knubbe> what parameter should i use to get the fps from glxgears?
[02:16] <cleo> knubbe: -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[02:17] <Blake1> how do you compile software
[02:18] <Blake1> how do you compile software
[02:19] <jpatrick> Blake1: you need to have kdelibs4-dev, libqt3-mt-dev libx11-dev installed
[02:20] <jpatrick> and "build-essential"
[02:21] <knubbe> cleo: geez :-)
[02:25] <voicu> Hi, is there a KDE DVD player?
[02:26] <cleo> !dvd
[02:28] <voicu> ssst, ubotu is taking a nap :)
[02:29] <cleo> never tried to play a dvd in kubuntu, maybe kaffeine with xine-engine
[02:29] <cleo> ubotu: tell voicu about dvd
[02:29] <cleo> :D
[02:30] <knubbe> voicu: kaffeine plays dvd
[02:31] <knubbe> voicu: and mplayer
[02:31] <cleo> knubbe: kaffeine-gstreamer?
[02:31] <voicu> yeah, it works
[02:32] <knubbe> cleo: i dont know the name of the package. when i start  kaffeine there's an option "play dvd"
[02:32] <nic> I can play dvd easily on kaffeine with gstreamer engine
[02:33] <knubbe> voicu: vlc is also a very nice player. very simple and doesnt take too much resources.
[02:33] <nic> but I always preferred mplayer over everything
[02:33] <voicu> ok, i'll try it. i actually wanted to avoid kaffeine because i messed it up and i am too lazy to fix it :D
[02:34] <nic> has anyone got a tablet pc down there and have u got the stylus working on it?
[02:36] <knubbe> the thing with mplayer on my pc is that when i choose full screen, the movie itself doesnt get bigger, only the window with mplayer :(
[02:36] <knubbe> i dont think my video chipset supports scaling
[02:36] <knubbe> (intel i915 mobile chipset)
[02:37] <nic> u can run on full screen with -zoom option or there's another one that i can;t rem now, have a look at its man page
[02:37] <kavit> does anyone have an issue with ATI fglrx drivers and dual head monitors with regards to both the screens having discreprancies in fonts and general look and feel?
[02:37] <kavit> it worked fine with gnome, just doesnt seem to do the job with KDE
[02:37] <nic> ur intel chipset must be able to easily play without dropping any frames
[02:39] <kavit> the fonts on both screens are different and they display different UI elements differently
[02:40] <`Nomad> !dvd
[02:40] <pigor> ping
[02:49] <BlackSerpent> Hello
[02:49] <BlackSerpent> I have some general, newbie questions
[02:53] <jpatrick> BlackSerpent: fire away
[02:55] <BlackSerpent> First - what is the command to access the console?
[02:56] <voicu> if you are using KDE, it's konsole
[02:56] <BlackSerpent> I mean - the DOS looking-like screen.
[02:57] <jpatrick> BlackSerpent: K-Menu -> System -> Konsole
[02:57] <voicu> oh, press CTRL+ALT+F1,F2,... and log in
[02:57] <BlackSerpent> another problem:
[02:57] <BlackSerpent> an optical ps/2 mouse is not supported (while a regular ps2 mouse is)
[02:59] <BlackSerpent> third question: I have a network card (RTL 8029AS, a relativley old one) connected to a PPPOE modem.
[02:59] <BlackSerpent> what drivers will I need?
[03:00] <BlackSerpent> and what kind of drivers, actually? for kernel version ?
[03:03] <NPC_Crys> Hey, how do I add to the multiverse? And is it a good idea to add limewire to the multiverse?
[03:03] <apokryphos> !repositories
[03:03] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[03:04] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: add limewire to the multiverse? What do you mean?
[03:04] <NPC_Crys> I mean it is not in there.
[03:04] <apokryphos> yes, we know
[03:04] <apokryphos> Limewire wants money!
[03:04] <NPC_Crys> I wanted to install it and I had to alien an rpm
[03:04] <apokryphos> right
[03:04] <NPC_Crys> There is a free version, too.
[03:04] <NPC_Crys> That's the one I mean.
[03:05] <NPC_Crys> But I assume you think it's a bad idea?
[03:05] <apokryphos> free version, which wants you to pay to go to pro
[03:05] <NPC_Crys> Right.
[03:05] <apokryphos> but the real problem is that Limewire requires sun-java
[03:05] <apokryphos> which cannot go into the repositories
[03:05] <NPC_Crys> No, blackhawk works.
[03:05] <apokryphos> very unstable for a lot of people
[03:06] <NPC_Crys> Oh.
[03:06] <apokryphos> it will last a few minutes tops, at times.
[03:06] <NPC_Crys> I did know that. I'm using it now.
[03:06] <NPC_Crys> didn't.
[03:06] <apokryphos> it was made to be run on sun java
[03:07] <NPC_Crys> Speaking of which, I got that running, but I'm having trouble getting it to respond to the cli command: java
[03:07] <apokryphos> install sun-java! /msg ubotu javadebs
[03:07] <NPC_Crys> I did.
[03:08] <NPC_Crys> I installed sun-java
[03:08] <NPC_Crys> Won't respond to the command java
[03:08] <NPC_Crys> That's why I'm running this blackhawk junk.
[03:08] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: ls -lh /usr/bin/java ?
[03:09] <NPC_Crys> What's that do?
[03:09] <apokryphos> what does it give?
[03:09] <NPC_Crys> Okay.
[03:09] <NPC_Crys> lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 22 2005-12-27 06:28 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
[03:10] <NPC_Crys> Does that mean that there is a symbolic link there pointing to blackhawk java?
[03:10] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:11] <NPC_Crys> What's that gonna do?
[03:11] <apokryphos> change the default, if you have multiple javas installed
[03:11] <NPC_Crys> Oh. Okay.
[03:12] <NPC_Crys> I have three choices.
[03:12] <NPC_Crys> It doesn't show the sun java I installed by hand.
[03:13] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: dpkg -l|grep sun
[03:13] <apokryphos> ...gives?
[03:13] <NPC_Crys> No output.
[03:13] <NPC_Crys> Just back to the base screen
[03:14] <apokryphos> you didn't install those java debs correctly, then.
[03:14] <NPC_Crys> Wasn't a deb.
[03:14] <apokryphos> huh?
[03:14] <NPC_Crys> Sun's installer script.
[03:14] <NPC_Crys> No dpkg involved.
[03:15] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: trash that; install the debs. /msg ubotu javadebs
[03:15] <jpatrick> you have to change it to a deb
[03:15] <NPC_Crys> Aww man.
[03:15] <NPC_Crys> Can't I just tell linux where to find java?
[03:15] <apokryphos> NPC_Crys: surely a sudo dpkg -i sun*.deb is a *lot* easier?
[03:15] <apokryphos> it'll set up the plugins etc all for you too
[03:16] <NPC_Crys> Maybe so, but how to uninstall the old one?
[03:16] <apokryphos> if it was some script, maybe they have an uninstall option
[03:16] <apokryphos> brb in a bit
[03:16] <NPC_Crys> I enjoyed setting it up, anyways.
[03:16] <NPC_Crys> <--masochist.
[03:22] <joshisscifi> alrighty.... that didn't work
[03:23] <`Nomad> It<s a good idea to upgrade to KDE 3.5 right?
[03:25] <jpatrick> `Nomad: if you want to
[03:25] <kavit> `Nomad: I am using it with no hassles.
[03:25] <`Nomad> thanks :)
[03:25] <`Nomad> I just did a new reinstall and IM trying to keep my system as stable as possible..
[03:25] <`Nomad> I miss ksmoothdock though, can<t get it to work
[03:26] <joshisscifi> I'm just trying to get my wireless working lol
[03:27] <`Nomad> yeah, I see lots of questions still about wifi
[03:27] <`Nomad> Wish I had a card to experiment myself, then I could help
[03:28] <joshisscifi> just something going on with ndis
[03:28] <joshisscifi> because its the right driver for my card
[03:30] <joshisscifi> `Nomad: happen to know the best "addon" to change the default kde start menu to something like I see where people just have a few buttons and have like thread monitors etc going?
[03:30] <kavit> ARGH!  I just purchased an ebook from amazon, their website refuses to detect I have Acrobat installed, so I go I will handle the DRM myself and download the file using CXOffice and IE. Try and open it in Acrobat and it recognises the file but refuses to open it.
[03:30] <kavit> I should send amazon some hatemail for being so windows centric
[03:31] <joshisscifi> yes you should
[03:31] <`Nomad> Someone had told me before but I forgot, why is it that when I do an apt-get upgrade I get a lot of @going to install packages@ but when it's done, I'm left with a lot of packages that were held back..  In this case, after adding the KDE 3.5 repo and doing an update/upgrade
[03:31] <kavit> now I will have to repeat the whole procedure through VMWare because I really want to read this. :|
[03:31] <`Nomad> josh: no
[03:31] <jpatrick> `Nomad: it's sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:31] <`Nomad> ahh&
[03:31] <`Nomad> ?
[03:31] <`Nomad> ok :)
[03:31] <`Nomad> That,s right
[03:32] <`Nomad> working .. :)
[03:32] <joshisscifi> so I should try that too? :)
[03:33] <joshisscifi> nothing to do :(
[03:34] <jpatrick> joshisscifi: if you want
[03:34] <joshisscifi> ndis is pissing me off
[03:37] <`Nomad> jpatrick:  ummm.. had to use -f to get it to work..   Seems all good now
[03:37] <`Nomad> reboot for the ultimat etest
[03:53] <slow-motion> hallo
[03:54] <xwolf-> hallo
[04:02] <NPC_Crys> hallo
[04:17] <NPC_Crys> Is there any reason I should pick 1.4 instead of 1.5?
[04:17] <Tm_T> 1.4 of what?
[04:17] <NPC_Crys> Whoops, sorry Sun Java.
[04:17] <Tm_T> nope
[04:18] <NPC_Crys> Yay.
[04:18] <Tm_T> I think
[04:18] <NPC_Crys> I dunno. I'm downloading and installing Sun java v 1.5 from seveas's repositories.
[04:19] <NPC_Crys> Cuz I want limewire, and I hear blackdown is unstable.
[04:19] <`Nomad> !java
[04:19] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[04:20] <NPC_Crys> !javadebs
[04:20] <ubotu> Java can be found in multiverse. Sun (i386) debs here: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl IBM (PPC) debs here: http://giannaros.org/buntu/breezy
[04:20] <`Nomad> !javadebs
[04:20] <`Nomad> shoot
[04:20] <NPC_Crys> Did that.
[04:20] <NPC_Crys> dpkg run just finished.
[04:20] <NPC_Crys> Now what was the command to select that version?
[04:21] <NPC_Crys> Well, let's see if that worked.
[04:22] <NPC_Crys> I think so.
[04:22] <NPC_Crys> And here goes my limewire.
[04:22] <NPC_Crys> whoo.
[04:26] <`Nomad> Arghh.. I doenloaded from sun, but it was corrupted, and now the website won,t let me get another copy
[04:27] <visik7> how canI get media:/ working ?

[05:23] <pussfeller> i made a udev rule so my ipod would be mounted as media/pusspod, but when I unplug the usb cable from the ipod, and then plug it back in, I get 2 icons and 2 wizards and then it mounts it as pusspod_1 regardless
[05:23] <jpatrick> pussfeller: sudo killall ivman
[05:23] <pussfeller> but if i unplug the usb cable from the usb port on the computer it works right
[05:24] <pussfeller> jpatrick: whats ivman? the wizard? will that fix it for good?
[05:25] <jpatrick> ivman is HAL's mounting thingy which gets in the way of KDE's one
[05:25] <pussfeller> its not running
[05:26] <VincentMX> why doesn't Kubuntu have Aleph One in the apt?
[05:27] <jpatrick> VincentMX: what?
[05:27] <VincentMX> Aleph One is an opensource version of Marathon
[05:27] <VincentMX> it's a game
[05:27] <pussfeller> theres a billion programs not in apt, they only have so much manpower to test and package all that sruff
[05:27] <jpatrick> pussfeller: I'm a packager
[05:28] <pussfeller> ah
[05:28] <jpatrick> only problem I have is that there aren't that many MOTUs which want to look at KDE apps
[05:28] <hussam> on kde 3.4.3, is there anyway I can make k3b automatically run when I insert an empty cd?
[05:29] <ndazza> what's a MOTU? </ignorance>
[05:29] <jpatrick> Master of the Universe
[05:29] <ndazza> ahh ty
[05:29] <jpatrick> which is what I plan to become
[05:29] <hussam> or is that only possible in kde 3.5?
[05:30] <jpatrick> see: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/MOTU
[05:30] <VincentMX> is it hard to be a packager?
[05:31] <jpatrick> VincentMX: is that multiple choice or essay?
[05:32] <jpatrick> VincentMX: joking - it's quite easy once you've done it after a while - see http://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuPackagingGuide if you're interested
[05:34] <pussfeller> so how come they dont use the volume name with storage media, if it exists, or something like that, and use sd*?
[05:35] <VincentMX> jpatrick, can you choose what packages you make, or is it all on a list witch you have to work from?
[05:35] <jpatrick> VincentMX: you choose or see KubuntuSuggestPackages
[05:36] <VincentMX> so if i'd be a packager i could put Aleph One in apt?
[05:36] <jpatrick> yes
[05:36] <VincentMX> ok
[05:36] <VincentMX> then i'll go and read the file
[05:36] <jpatrick> if it's accepted
[05:36] <VincentMX> who accept's these things?
[05:36] <jpatrick> MOTUs
[05:37] <ccc_> anyone else having problems with amarok freezing after 1 played song in kubuntu? i've tried both kriddells and sims packages.
[05:37] <C-O-L-T> People have you hear about The Gizmo Project?
[05:37] <VincentMX> who are MOTU's?
[05:37] <C-O-L-T> Is it compatible with skype?
[05:37] <jpatrick> I said who they were a moment ago
[05:37] <VincentMX> yes, what they were, Master Of the Universe, but who are MOTU?
[05:38] <jpatrick> ah
[05:38] <jpatrick> #ubuntu-motu
[05:38] <VincentMX> ok
[05:38] <jpatrick> but worry about that when you've made the package
[05:38] <VincentMX> ok
[05:39] <jpatrick> Aleph One better be open-src :)
[05:39] <VincentMX> it is
[05:39] <VincentMX> i'll see then
[05:39] <jpatrick> if it's GPL better
[05:39] <VincentMX> i don't know about that
[05:42] <joshisscifi> it works!!!
[05:42] <joshisscifi> wirelesssssss
[05:42] <joshisscifi> hahahahahaha
[05:46] <jpatrick> hi kkathman
[05:46] <jpatrick> joshisscifi: right...
[05:46] <joshisscifi> jpatrick: I've been working on this for about 3 hours lol
[05:46] <kkathman> howdy jpatrick :)
[05:47] <VincentMX> joshisscifi, the way you said that seems really creapy, it's like frankenstei saying "It's Alive!!", "HAHAHA"
[05:48] <joshisscifi> it felt that way lol
[05:48] <VincentMX> joshenstein
[05:50] <VincentMX> hmm
[05:51] <VincentMX> sh*t dude, my parent's want me to use windows, man that sucks.
[05:51] <VincentMX> glad i'm not stupid
[05:51] <jpatrick> VincentMX: I'm 14 - I never listen to my parents when it comes to computers
[05:51] <joshisscifi> lol
[05:51] <VincentMX> im just going to make a 1 gig windows partition and 11 gig linux and use GRUB
[05:52] <VincentMX> jpatrick, really?
[05:52] <VincentMX> so am i!
[05:52] <jpatrick> VincentMX: yes
[05:52] <VincentMX> April 16th 1991
[05:52] <jpatrick> 14 and a Kubuntu Developer
[05:52] <VincentMX> hehe
[05:52] <VincentMX> :D
[05:52] <jpatrick> May 26 1991
[05:52] <VincentMX> i don' do a lot usefull
[05:52] <VincentMX> but i did start the dutch kubuntu support channel
[05:53] <jpatrick> I'm Kubuntu packager, hacker, Kubuntu Forums Moderator, Kubuntu-Es team member.. list continues...
[05:53] <VincentMX> :D
[05:53] <joshisscifi> alright, why won't Adept launch
[05:54] <jpatrick> joshisscifi: mybe kdesu is failing
[05:54] <joshisscifi> there we go
[05:54] <VincentMX> i only created #kubuntu-nl, but that's something more then nothing
[05:54] <joshisscifi> guess it had to reset itself
[05:54] <ffrnk> anyone know how i would go about sharing a kubuntu printer with a windows maching?
[05:54] <ffrnk> seemed like a simple task, turned into 2 dyas so far
[05:55] <joshisscifi> ok... whats with gaim-dev and gaim-data being on the list but no gaim...
[05:55] <Nemezis> how do I add mp3/video support on Kubuntu?
[05:56] <jpatrick> Nemezis: install gstreamer0.8-mad from universe
[05:56] <joshisscifi> jpatrick: how do I add universe to my Adept?
[05:56] <Nemezis> jpatrick: I am a newb, so please tell me what is the auto method for installing packages ?
[05:57] <jpatrick> uncomment (remove the '#') the universe line in the /etc/apt/sources.list by running 'kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list'
[05:57] <jpatrick> VincentMX: for more info see: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/PatrickDavies
[05:58] <Nemezis> jpatrick: do I need to comment some other lines afterwards?
[05:58] <jpatrick> no
[05:58] <_bogdan> anybody knows how to install .rpm
[05:58] <_bogdan> ??
[05:58] <kinfo> i don't understand.
[05:58] <kkathman> _bogdan: you cannot install an rpm in ubuntu unless you use alien
[05:58] <_bogdan> i already got it
[05:59] <longnam> hi all, where can i get xgaw3d ???
[05:59] <_bogdan> bt still cant
[05:59] <kkathman> typically rpms are for redhat only...even alien doesnt work on all of them
[05:59] <kkathman> its not a great idea to mix packages
[06:00] <jpatrick> _bogdan: what's the program in the rpm?
[06:00] <kkathman> _bogdan: however, you should be able to get the source for your app and just compile it
[06:00] <_bogdan> gaim 2.0 beta
[06:00] <jpatrick> or ask (beg) me to package it :)
[06:01] <_bogdan> please
[06:01] <kkathman> lol jpatrick
[06:01] <jpatrick> hmm... GTK...
[06:01] <kkathman> jpatrick:  you use pbuilder?
[06:01] <jpatrick> kkathman: yep
[06:01] <kkathman> jpatrick: be careful to clear your caches :)
[06:02] <jpatrick> I do
[06:02] <kkathman> jpatrick: I was going to do a package but two other people scooped me on it....I guess they needed the points :(
[06:03] <jpatrick> which two people?
[06:03] <kkathman> jpatrick: Hobbsee and seth
[06:04] <jpatrick> ha
[06:04] <kkathman> its fine with me, Im not ascribing to be a MOTU
[06:04] <joshisscifi> well here's an annoying feature of Adept
[06:04] <kkathman> I guess you have to have so many points to get there
[06:04] <jpatrick> Seth's and MOTU hopeful, and Hobbsee's a new package maker
[06:04] <jpatrick> an*
[06:04] <kkathman> I was more than willing to let them have it
[06:05] <`Nomad> !nvu
[06:05] <ubotu> it has been said that nvu is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingNvu http://www.nvu.com/ Linux/Mac/Windows Web authoring.
[06:05] <jpatrick> there are plenty of apps out there
[06:05] <kkathman> jpatrick: Im surprised how cut-throat it is
[06:06] <ubuntu_> how do i install Grub? im on live cd. my brother ran fixmbr from windows boot cd
[06:06] <jpatrick> kkathman: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuSuggestedPackages
[06:07] <urma> ubuntu_: you can mount and then chroot to your root partition
[06:07] <ubuntu_> urma: didnt understand anything of that! : ) im new to linux
[06:07] <joshisscifi> ok.... why does Adept show kde-core as not installed... when I'm on kubuntu? lol
[06:08] <jpatrick> joshisscifi: kde-core is just kate + konsole + some other little things
[06:08] <urma> ubuntu_: you know which partition your root filesystem resides in?
[06:08] <joshisscifi> jpatrick: whats the easiest way for me to upgrade to 3.5?
[06:08] <urma> like, /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 or something like?
[06:09] <ubuntu_> urma: you mean like hda5 and such?
[06:09] <urma> ubuntu_: yups
[06:09] <ubuntu_> urma: yeah i think so
[06:10] <ubuntu_> urma: but shouldnt it write it to MBR??
[06:10] <urma> ubuntu_: well, yeah, but it needs to know where the stage 1.5 and stage 2 files reside
[06:10] <urma> ubuntu_: these are either on your root filesystem, or on your /boot fileystem, if it separate from your root
[06:10] <ubuntu_> urma:ok
[06:11] <urma> ubuntu_: so create a temporary directory where you can mount your root partition, something like /mnt/myroot will do
[06:11] <urma> ubuntu_: mkdir /mnt/myroot ; mount /dev/hdX /mnt/myroot
[06:11] <urma> ubuntu_: hdX being your root filesystem partition
[06:12] <urma> ubuntu_: then you can run 'chroot /mnt/myroot /bin/bash'
[06:13] <urma> *shrug*

[06:52] <jpatrick> hello matt_
[06:53] <matt_> anything interesting happening in the world ok Kubuntu?
[06:53] <matt_> of Kubuntu?
[06:53] <jpatrick> hmmm
[06:53] <jpatrick> not that I know of
[06:54] <matt_> I have a problem with a D-link router
[06:54] <matt_> I have a linksys router that works with adept, but not a D-link
[06:55] <matt_> both allow me to go onto the internet ok, but the dlink wont allow kubuntu when installking to go onto the internet to get its security updates
[06:55] <matt_> anyone know why?
[06:58] <Nemezis> hi, I uncommented the Universe repository in apt-get config file but yet I can't install mp3 support for my system
[06:59] <Nemezis> helloooooo
[06:59] <Nemezis> I want mp3 support for my system
[06:59] <Nemezis> and divx
[06:59] <Nemezis> and mpeg
[06:59] <Lord_Athur> hi Nemezis
[06:59] <_martin> XMMS + VLC
[07:05] <Nemezis> how do I add mp3 support in Kubuntu ?
[07:06] <brodel> Nemezis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:07] <Ge0Ks> hi
[07:07] <Ge0Ks> I wanna the kubuntu
[07:09] <Nemezis> brodel: E: Package gstreamer0.8-mad has no installation candidate
[07:10] <brodel> did you enable universe?
[07:10] <Nemezis> yes I did
[07:10] <Nemezis> I uncomented it in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:10] <brodel> do sudo aptitude search gstreamer
[07:10] <brodel> oh wait.. did you update?
[07:11] <Nemezis> yes I did
[07:11] <_martin> Use XMMS for MP3's and VLC for videos
[07:11] <brodel> sudo aptitude update
[07:11] <brodel> then sudo aptitude search gstreamer
[07:11] <Snake__> Guys how do you install window decorations??
[07:11] <brodel> I just installed. So I'm just now doing it since your question reminded me. :)
[07:12] <Nemezis> _martin: I don't want to use XMMS
[07:12] <Nemezis> brodel: what after ?
[07:12] <brodel> did search gstreamer give you results?
[07:13] <Nemezis> v   gstreamer0.8-mad
[07:13] <Nemezis> such
[07:13] <Nemezis> yes, many lines as result
[07:13] <brodel> oh ok
[07:14] <Nemezis> then?
[07:14] <brodel> sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[07:14] <brodel> that's what I just typed in
[07:15] <brodel> it said it couldn't find the multiverse one, but it went ahead and did the rest anyhow
[07:15] <Nemezis> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse"
[07:15] <Nemezis> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg"
[07:15] <Nemezis> No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[07:16] <Ge0Ks> hey How I can get the kubuntu if I haven't internet?
[07:16] <Nemezis> www.kubuntu.org Ge0Ks
[07:16] <Ge0Ks> its free??
[07:17] <brodel> I don't have multiverse enabled which is why I didn't have that.
[07:17] <brodel> It looks like universe isn't enabled for you.
[07:17] <Nemezis> brodel: I dont understand, I am 100% newbie, how do I enable it?
[07:17] <brodel> that'd be my guess.. but I'm fairly new too. :)
[07:17] <brodel> I enabled it by going into adept
[07:18] <matt_> Hi geOKs!
[07:18] <matt_> you can get kubuntu from http://www.linuxcd.org/?ref=distrowatch
[07:18] <brodel> System -> Package manager (adept)
[07:18] <matt_> if you havent go the internet you can order the cd from there!
[07:18] <brodel> I gotta run and get some lunch (I'm already late) brb
[07:19] <matt_> GeOKs are you a windows or a linix user?
[07:19] <Nemezis> brodel: it doesn't help me
[07:19] <Lord_Athur> what's the directory for plugings of mozilla?
[07:22] <Nemezis> damn, there is no one to help me with my MP3 PROBLEM !?
[07:22] <Lord_Athur> what's the directory for plugings of mozilla?
[07:22] <brainiac_ghost> downloading this now
[07:23] <brainiac_ghost> does breezy show pretty bootsplash
[07:24] <Nemezis> brainiac_ghost: not really
[07:25] <brainiac_ghost> Nemezis, like on the livecd
[07:25] <brainiac_ghost> or is it like debian/gentoo
[07:25] <brainiac_ghost> with just text
[07:25] <Nemezis> there is bootsplash
[07:25] <brainiac_ghost> YAY
[07:26] <brainiac_ghost> even if it is ugly, bootsplash fte
[07:26] <brainiac_ghost> *ftw
[07:26] <nairolf> hi
[07:26] <Nemezis> u can change that
[07:26] <`Nomad> Would anyone have an FTP server to recommend?  With a GUI would be nice.
[07:26] <nairolf> i have a problem with kdm
[07:27] <socketbind> did anyone tried Xgl and managed to make composite behave properly with it? :D
[07:27] <Nemezis> xgl...is there available version of it?
[07:27] <socketbind> the latest version is made available
[07:27] <JaCk[a] L> helloooooooooo
[07:27] <socketbind> `Nomad: pureftpd has something like pureadmin, it's a graphical interface for it
[07:27] <JaCk[a] L> i ve trouble with my reporitories!
[07:28] <socketbind> well composite is behaving kinda funky with xgl
[07:28] <JaCk[a] L> i m looking for w32codecs
[07:28] <nairolf> if i try to login some window says the /tmp directory is not writable and that the x-session might fail
[07:28] <`Nomad> socketbind: I just tried it, weird permission issues in creating the initial files, etc..
[07:28] <JaCk[a] L> but i don t find them!
[07:28] <nairolf> and that's what it does
[07:28] <JaCk[a] L> i think i need to add some repository to my list
[07:28] <JaCk[a] L> u think that ?
[07:29] <socketbind> `Nomad: well I've never tried it so I can't say anything more about it :)
[07:29] <JaCk[a] L> please help me
[07:29] <socketbind> JaCk[a] L: there are two ways installing the binary codecs
[07:29] <`Nomad> I'll go back to proftpd, I was hoping for a GUI one for when someone asks that I recommend something
[07:29] <`Nomad> thanks
[07:29] <socketbind> you can simply download them from a traball, or get a package
[07:30] <socketbind> you can find w32codecs in the marillat repository for instance, but I wouldn't recommend to add it to your source as it might break your installation in the future
[07:30] <socketbind> or you can get the tarball from mplayer website and untar it to /usr/lib/win32
[07:30] <socketbind> the effect is the same
[07:30] <JaCk[a] L> so people what should i have as repositories?
[07:32] <socketbind> JaCk[a] L: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[07:33] <socketbind> btw you can find w32codecs here: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[07:33] <nairolf> did anyone else have initial problems with kdm?
[07:34] <socketbind> but you can get much more recent binary codecs as a tarball from mplayer's website
[07:34] <socketbind> initial problems?
[07:34] <nairolf> the /tmp directory is not writable
[07:34] <nairolf> xwindows tell me that
[07:35] <nairolf> it says the session might fail
[07:35] <bdmp_> I need to apply patches to files from a drupal site I am making, but i don't know how to apply the patches. I don't understand the command context?
[07:35] <socketbind> well I never experienced such a thing
[07:35] <nairolf> and kde fails
[07:35] <socketbind> the perm were always o.k. for me
[07:35] <socketbind> I installed breezy on several machines, I've never experienced this
[07:35] <deemo> i have a problem opening up an OOo file from konqueror. It starts up, but it crashes. If i start up OOo from terminal or the menu it works fine though. Is there anywhere where i can see where the right click menu of konqueror does?
[07:36] <nairolf> i ran normal ubuntu and then installed kubuntu-desktop
[07:36] <brodel> Nemezis: you get your MP3 codec you needed?
[07:36] <Nemezis> brodel: at last
[07:36] <Nemezis> but I'd like to use Xine's one, cause GStreamer sux!
[07:36] <nairolf> in the kdm configuration i choose kdm as default
[07:37] <socketbind> nairolf: I always installed it with the kubuntu isos and with the kubuntu-desktop metapackage
[07:37] <brodel> I use beep for mp3s.. or at least I plan to because that's what I've used in the past
[07:37] <socketbind> ahh sorry I mean not with the kubuntu-desktop metapackage
[07:37] <cyberclube> Hi people, I'm trying to get the latest amsn. Is there a package available in universe for that? Or should I find some repository... or even compile from scrathch?  I found the forum page about compiling from cvs, but as amsn 1.5 has been released already I tought maybe it is already packkaged somewhere
[07:37] <socketbind> so I never tried to install it that way
[07:37] <brodel> I use xine for videos though :)
[07:38] <socketbind> cyberclube: afaik 0.95 is the latest and you can grab the ubuntu package on their site at amsn.sf.net
[07:38] <socketbind> I needed to compile Tk8.5 because Tk8.4 is extremely ugly :D
[07:40] <cyberclube> socketbind: Oh, Thanks! I was not expecting to have a package right from their site... I guess ubuntu's getting much more known than what I was hoping...
[07:40] <cyberclube> Hmmm... socketbind : It seems they have a ubuntu package but only for powerpc ... I'm taking my changes with the debian package
[07:40] <socketbind> well it's well known already :D
[07:41] <socketbind> only for ppc?
[07:41] <socketbind> there is one for x86 too
[07:41] <deemo> anyone know where the configuration filew for konqueror that contains the info for the right click menu?
[07:41] <socketbind> check out the file associations in the konqueror options dialog
[07:42] <socketbind> lol there's only a ppc one really... um well I downloaded a x86 one lately :D
[07:43] <cyberclube> socketbind: haven't found it in the drop box they have. I took the debian one and I am getting dependeny problems with tcltls.... :-(
[07:43] <socketbind> funny stuff, I don't get it, there was a x86 one too
[07:43] <socketbind> just install tcltls and it should be fine
[07:43] <socketbind> there's a package named tcltls in ubuntu too
[07:44] <cyberclube> socketbind: well... maybe in universe? (I don't have universe in my repository list)
[07:44] <socketbind> well let me check if it's there
[07:44] <socketbind> but I don't think there will be a 0.95 version
[07:44] <_ludo> is it possible to read wma files on kubuntu plz ? if yes, with wich package ?
[07:45] <socketbind> there is only 0.94 :-/
[07:45] <cyberclube> socketbind: I was talking about tcltls ...
[07:45] <socketbind> oh sorry :D

[07:45] <socketbind> yes, it's part of universe :D
[07:46] <socketbind> anyway I'm feeling kinda dizzy today :D
[07:47] <socketbind> geez I wonder why there isn't support for Xft in tk8.4
[07:47] <socketbind> my eyes are burning :D
[07:48] <cyberclube> socketbind: great! Added universe and got tcltls, and amsn isntalled without a complain... now lets test it :-)
[07:48] <socketbind> cyberclube: did you managed to get it work?
[07:48] <socketbind> ahh superb :)
[07:49] <ffrnk> how do you setup samba so you can print to a linux maching from windows?
[07:49] <socketbind> get ready for the fonts... they'll be extremely ugly :D
[07:49] <hawking> any kubuntu laptop users around? can someone tell me if there is a way I can disable my touchpad?
[07:49] <andreas_> when is the X breakage going to occur?
[07:49] <andreas_> hawking, yes
[07:50] <andreas_> well what do you mean disable
[07:50] <hawking> andreas_ how?
[07:50] <Nemezis> is there GUI for the services in Kubuntu ?
[07:50] <andreas_> completely disable it, or just disable tapping
[07:50] <Nemezis> startup services ?
[07:50] <hawking> andreas_ I have a mouse and I want to disable it completely
[07:50] <jorik> hawking, thats easy .... just go dig in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for the correct Mouse device entry, then comment that one out
[07:50] <socketbind> Nemezis: System Configuration -> Startup Services?
[07:50] <socketbind> Nemezis: or you should try ksysvinit
[07:51] <jorik> hawking, also remove it from the Serverlayout at the bottom of that file
[07:51] <hawking> jorik : thx!
[07:52] <jorik> hey np ;-)
[07:52] <cyberclube> xiii.... they still haven't fixed that?!? I'm facing that problem for almost two years now :-( ... this time I am looking for webcam support... lets see how it is now....
[07:52] <jorik> im only passing on what someone told me when i asked the very same question about a month ago
[07:52] <socketbind> do you mean the fonts, cyberclube? :D
[07:52] <hawking> jorik : do i have to restart kde for the changes to take effect?
[07:52] <socketbind> for me webcam support works perfectly
[07:52] <jorik> yes
[07:53] <jorik> but !!!
[07:53] <jorik> after you log out
[07:53] <jorik> you also have to press ctrl alt backspace (to restart the X server)
[07:53] <jorik> or you can just reboot
[07:54] <deemo> anyone know why when i click on an OOo application through konqueror, that it just crashes?
[07:55] <cyberclube> socketbind: Well... both the fonts and the webcam support... I actually went "around" the font problem by picking one that was not so bad... but I am now looking for a msn client with webcam support as many people seem to be getting it and I'm starting to be annoyed with all that "win" bulshit they all throw when we dont have one funcionality on Linux they have in windows....
[07:55] <brainiac-ghost> hi
[07:56] <socketbind> cyberclube: I compiled Tk8.5 with Xft so the fonts aren't ugly anymore
[07:56] <cyberclube> socketbind: I'm actually doing the grand test with the lastes kubunt dapper hoping to replace an aging mandrake server I have running with xdmcp clients...
[07:56] <socketbind> but it has a bunch of bugs
[07:57] <cyberclube> socketbind: "it" = amsn ?
[07:57] <socketbind> no Tk8.5 has a bunch of bugs, but at least it has antialiasing support
[07:57] <socketbind> amsn looks waaaay better with it
[07:58] <socketbind> a mandrake server had the longest uptime in the history as far as I remember? :D
[07:58] <hawking> :/ that didn't work my touchpad still works
[07:58] <_christoph> hi guys plz help ME!!
[07:58] <hawking> any other ideas?
[07:58] <socketbind> cyberclue: well cam support is working for me great, only audio conversations and winks don't work
[07:58] <_christoph> i cant use my usb stick with kubuntu
[07:59] <socketbind> but anyway, I hate them
[07:59] <_christoph> with ubuntu it works
[07:59] <_christoph> so i ve been told to use the ADEPT UPDATER
[07:59] <_christoph> but the updater wants root access
[07:59] <hawking> jorik : are you there?
[07:59] <_christoph> but there must be a bug or some because it does nothing
[08:00] <_martin> The password for your account is the same as root
[08:00] <_christoph> yeah i know but it doese not work
[08:00] <_christoph> here they confirm this prob http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75114.html
[08:01] <cyberclube> socketbind: Oh... Sorry to hear that... do you know any other alternatives that got conversation working? I am thinking of offering skype, as I've tried it and it worked...
[08:01] <_christoph> why does the adept updater shows nothing?
[08:01] <_christoph> do i have to press anything?
[08:01] <socketbind> cyberclue: you can try skype and gizmo, they are equally great
[08:02] <socketbind> anyway msn audio conversations were pretty crappy for me, I tried it with all sorts of connections
[08:02] <_christoph> how can i get real root access?
[08:02] <_asraniel__> how can i find out on which mirror a application is in apt-get? i want to know on which mirror kdetv is
[08:03] <cyberclube> socketbind: thanks for the advice. I was not aware of gismo and I'll check it out
[08:03] <socketbind> cyberclube: or perhaps teamspeak, but that's designed for games
[08:03] <socketbind> but it's pretty great working
[08:05] <_christoph> or can someone plz help me to get my usb stick detected in kubuntu?`
[08:05] <_christoph> the desktop shows a symbol but i cant access the stick
[08:05] <brodel> what does it do when you click on it in the desktop?
[08:06] <_christoph> in kcontrol under disks and filesystems the is "Optical disk usb flash memory-- disabled"
[08:07] <hawking> anyone knows how to disable synaptics touchpad?
[08:07] <_christoph> ehm on click it says: cant be mounted, it cant check the filesystem or no FS was
[08:08] <hawking> I tried changing xorg.conf settings and it didn't work and when I do synclient TouchpadOff=0 it says Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? anyone knows how?
[08:08] <_christoph> and no FS was stated
[08:08] <brodel> sorry.. I can't help with any of that. I'm a newbie :\
[08:08] <_christoph> ok thx anyway
[08:09] <brodel> mine just works.. just tried :\ It doesn't work if I use my card reader though.
[08:09] <kkathman> _christoph:  so you put the USB stick in the slot and does it automount?
[08:09] <_christoph> well it appears on the screen
[08:09] <_christoph> but i cant access it
[08:10] <kkathman> can you double click the icon?
[08:10] <kkathman> or right click on it?
[08:11] <_christoph> i can click or with right click
[08:11] <_christoph> but then the error message comes
[08:11] <kkathman> just trying to determine if the icon really is responsive at all
[08:11] <kkathman> or where its mounted
[08:11] <_christoph> "could not be mounted, blabla he says
[08:12] <_christoph> that he does not know the filesystem
[08:12] <kkathman> ah
[08:12] <_christoph> but in ubuntu it workls
[08:12] <_christoph> -l
[08:12] <kkathman> being in kubuntu shouldnt matter then ...different system or same box?
[08:12] <brodel> bah
[08:12] <_christoph> different system
[08:13] <kkathman> ahh
[08:13] <brodel> it doesn't work for me either then I guess. It does on my laptop. I just installed kubuntu on my desktop last night. Hadn't tried it yet.
[08:13] <hawking> I installed ksynaptics but when I type ksynaptics on the konsole it says command not found
[08:13] <_christoph> how can i enable "Optical Disk" USB Flash Memory /media/usb0    /dev/sda
[08:13] <hawking> no way to disable this?
[08:13] <_christoph> ?
[08:14] <deemo> anyone know why when i click on an OOo application through konqueror, that it just crashes?
[08:15] <kkathman> _christoph: can you look in you dmesg and see if the USBs are being recognized?
[08:15] <kkathman> hawking: how did you install it?
[08:16] <_christoph> what is dmesg?
[08:16] <hawking> kkathman : apt-get
[08:16] <_christoph> should i run this command?
[08:16] <kkathman> hawking if you want to remove it... just do a sudo apt-get remove <pkg>
[08:17] <kkathman> _christoph:  yes you can just type  cat dmesg | more  and look to see if there are references to the USB
[08:17] <hawking> kkathman : I want to disable synaptics touchpad not remove a package
[08:17] <kkathman> hawking:  ohhh
[08:17] <kkathman> no clue about that
[08:17] <_christoph> kkathman:
[08:18] <_martin> You don't have an On/Off button for the touchpad?
[08:18] <_christoph> "cat dmesg"    ??
[08:18] <_christoph> as command?
[08:18] <hawking> _martin : nope
[08:18] <_martin> Ok ^^
[08:18] <jorik> hawking, paste your xorg.conf online
[08:19] <hawking> jorik : ok
[08:19] <brodel> damn you kkathman.. pointing out problems I need to fix too :P
[08:19] <kkathman> _christoph:  oops sorry...not cat... I apologize...Im kinda sleepy lol
[08:19] <brodel> it's odd that it works in my laptop.. but not on my desktop.
[08:19] <hawking> jorik : http://rafb.net/paste/results/Zdhqnb25.html
[08:20] <_christoph> when i type "dmesg" nothing happens
[08:20] <kkathman> lol brodel :)
[08:20] <kkathman> _christoph:  well ok
[08:20] <hawking> brodel : what's your laptop?
[08:20] <jorik> hawking, your usb mouse works ?
[08:20] <hawking> jorik : yup
[08:20] <brodel> toshiba satelite 1905-s303
[08:21] <kkathman> _christoph: try   sudo /etc/init.d/hotplug restart        then try the USB again
[08:21] <_christoph> restart? restart pc?
[08:22] <hawking> jorik : any ideas?
[08:22] <_christoph> christoph@kubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hotplug
[08:22] <_christoph> Password:
[08:22] <_christoph> Usage: /etc/init.d/hotplug {start|stop|restart|status|force-reload}
[08:22] <_christoph> everything ok?
[08:22] <kkathman> your system password
[08:22] <kkathman> hotplug restart
[08:23] <kkathman> I think I put that up there
[08:23] <cleo> can someone tell me how to setup cups for network printing? I added my printserver to /etc/cups/client.conf but they are always prompted for passwords when printing
[08:23] <kkathman> _christoph: what version of Kubuntu ?
[08:23] <_christoph> 5.10
[08:23] <kkathman> ah ok
[08:23] <jorik> hawking, did you restart X (not just kde) since making this change ?
[08:24] <kkathman> so yer on 3.4.3 KDE thats good
[08:24] <_christoph> christoph@kubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/hotplug restart
[08:24] <_christoph>  * Stopping hotplug subsystem...                                         [ ok ]
[08:24] <_christoph>  * Starting hotplug subsystem...
[08:24] <_christoph> yes i think so
[08:24] <_christoph> same error :(
[08:24] <_christoph> damn
[08:25] <kkathman> well theoretically, when you put your USB in, it should automount
[08:25] <hawking> jorik : I did I pressed Ctrl+alt+backspace and then it didn't work so I restarted my comp and it still doesn't work we need to find another way
[08:25] <kkathman> or so I thought
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> you know what i am in love and my girlfriend loves me too, i am soo happy
[08:25] <_christoph> Ok, can u help me to mount it manually??
[08:25] <kkathman> Java_the_Hutt: excellent :)
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> kkathman: thx
[08:26] <kkathman> _christoph:  the system needs to see your device first
[08:26] <_christoph> im in kcontrol under disks & filesystems
[08:26] <leafw> which of all the /etc/rcX.d or /etc/init.d scripts is in control of the apache web server? There are K and S entries for it. Is this explained somewhere?
[08:26] <_christoph> there it shows that "disabled" usb flash memory device
[08:27] <jorik> hawking, what confuses me is that you have one mousedevice configured and two working mouses
[08:27] <hawking> jorik : yeah I am confused too
[08:27] <jorik> you could try to remove that one and see what happens ...
[08:28] <hawking> jorik : what do you mean?
[08:28] <jorik> maybe an USB mouse doesnt need an entry in xorg.conf (seems onlikely tho) and the entry you removed earlier was just cruft
[08:28] <kkathman> _christoph: can you get to administrator mode there on that screen?
[08:29] <hawking> jorik : so do you think I should remove other mouse entry too?
[08:29] <_christoph> yeees
[08:29] <kkathman> ahh ok
[08:29] <_christoph> but i think it does not like the NTFS format?
[08:29] <djk_> how do i list all files that'll be installed via kubuntu-desktop?
[08:29] <jorik> hawking, try it (back up your xorg.conf tho and make sure you can work without a mouse (alt+f2))
[08:29] <_christoph> im currently in the settings of "sda"
[08:30] <hawking> jorik : ok trying
[08:30] <_christoph> there are options like "mount point"
[08:30] <_christoph> device / files belong to user: / mount permission
[08:30] <_christoph> ertc
[08:30] <kkathman> _christoph: does it show the mount point?
[08:30] <_christoph> yes "/sda"
[08:31] <frazer> lo
[08:31] <frazer> anyone here had problems with Kate after a fresh install?
[08:31] <kkathman> _christoph: so like on your desktop can you try to create an icon to it....right click the desktop, click Create New...then link to device
[08:32] <kkathman> _christoph: you should be able to link to the mount point I think
[08:32] <frazer> if i try to open somthing as root with sudo kate crashes everytime then I have to restart to get it to work again
[08:32] <_christoph> yes that "shortcut to..."  right?
[08:32] <`Nomad> Could anyone help me setup a printer? I re-installed 5.10 from scratch thinking I had caused odd problems with dangerous repositories before, but it seems I still hav ethe same issues. :(
[08:32] <_christoph> but to what??? ^^
[08:32] <`Nomad> I,m trying to setup a Samsung ML-2010 printer if anyone could
[08:33] <l0st1> !printer
[08:33] <ubotu> printer is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[08:33] <kkathman> _christoph: no no not the shortcut...Create new...then Link to Device
[08:33] <_christoph> oh sorry was my translation fault... :)
[08:33] <l0st1> check for support
[08:33] <_christoph> im on that "link to device.."
[08:33] <frazer> if i try to open somthing as root with sudo kate crashes everytime then I have to restart to get it to work again? anyone got any idea on how to fix?
[08:34] <`Nomad> I0st1: You mean call Samsung?
[08:34] <djk_> frazer: kdesu kate
[08:34] <frazer> kk ill try
[08:34] <_christoph> now link to what?
[08:34] <kkathman> _christoph: perhaps to the HDD I guess?
[08:35] <`Nomad> This printer actually has a nice installation CD for linux and all, but it gets bogged down wanting to log in as root for installation
[08:35] <hawking> jorik : as it seems the problem has nothing to do with that file.. as both of them still works
[08:35] <kkathman> _christoph: i put my USB in my system and it automatically pops up a Konqueror window with all the files so I dunno
[08:35] <`Nomad> OR it's cups that is bizarrely setup by default.. I can't seem to get that working ok either
[08:35] <_christoph> i ve read about this usb prob
[08:35] <_christoph> i could be solved when auto updated
[08:36] <kkathman> _christoph: I dunno, cuz mine just pops up with no special setup at all
[08:36] <_christoph> but that adept updater does not update.. .?
[08:36] <_christoph> what FS does ur usb stick use?
[08:36] <kkathman> _christoph: your adept does not update
[08:36] <kkathman> _christoph: no clue
[08:36] <frazer> djk_ what did kdesu do? hot would i open sources.list
[08:36] <kkathman> its just a simple thumb drive
[08:37] <jorik> hawking huh ? are you sure you're editing the right file ?
[08:37] <hawking> /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't it?
[08:37] <djk_> frazer: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:37] <kkathman> djk_:  good day!! Hope you are well, Happy New Year to you!
[08:37] <frazer> djk_ nothing happens
[08:38] <djk_> kkathman: hey :) happy new year to you as well, how's it going?
[08:38] <kkathman> djk_: it goes fine I suppose. :)
[08:38] <_christoph> how can i update my system?
[08:38] <frazer> kate: ERROR: Communication problem with kate, it probably crashed.
[08:38] <kkathman> _christoph: just click your adept updater, then click the "Fetch Updates"
[08:38] <frazer> after tring once with sudo i get this msg everytime i use Kate and kdesu Kate does nothing
[08:39] <_asraniel> does anyone know in which package the arial font is in kubuntu?
[08:39] <_christoph> no updates available , is this normal?
[08:40] <jorik> hawking, wierd ....
[08:40] <djk_> frazer: kdesu kate... should prompt you to enter your password and afterwards open kate with the the sources.list, apparently it's not working because of whatever problem kate had when it crashed
[08:40] <hawking> For the sake of God someone tell me how I can disable this goddamn touchpad
[08:40] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: i know
[08:40] <jorik> i dunno anymore man, removin it did it for my laptop
[08:41] <hawking> Java_the_Hutt: you know how to disable it?
[08:41] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: do you want to disable tapping or disabling it completely ?
[08:41] <hawking> completely
[08:41] <djk_> kkathman: would you happen to know how i can list all files that would be installed via apt-get install kubuntu-desktop without installing it?
[08:41] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: hmm i am not sure of that, there is a configuration file of it, lemme check
[08:42] <hawking> Java_the_hutt: I'll appreciate
[08:42] <frazer> djk- have you got any idea how to fix kate? or ill just try and get another text editor from adept
[08:42] <kkathman> djk_: if you just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop   you should get a list and then just say NO when it asks if its ok to install
[08:43] <djk_> frazer: no, i don't use kate, thus no idea.
[08:43] <kkathman> frazer: check either ps aux | more and look to see if kate is still running somewhere (or use ksysguard) if so, kill it..then try again
[08:43] <frazer> ill try now
[08:44] <frazer> im not to familar with  kde
[08:44] <brodel> How come firefox was installed on my laptop, but on my desktop it's not
[08:44] <djk_> kkathman: well yes, but since i already have kde and pretty much everything from the standard kubuntu install, it doesn't list much
[08:44] <frazer> this is my first install from a kubuntu cd iv allways used gnome before
[08:44] <_christoph> @ kkathman
[08:44] <_christoph> error occured while enabling /sda
[08:44] <kkathman> djk_:  what that should show is what it would NEED to install I reckon
[08:45] <tomplast> hi guys. does anyone knows why kaffeine-mozilla/xine/w32codecs crashes mozilla? and can anyone tell me the easiest way to start coding windows and such graphically things with the least work and knowledge?
[08:45] <_christoph> the system reported mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist
[08:45] <kkathman> _christoph: Im out of ideas, my friend, maybe someone else can help you :(
[08:45] <_christoph> k thx
[08:45] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: get a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and edit the file for the section synaptics
[08:45] <`Nomad> Well Samsung office is closed.. :(
[08:46] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: you may try to comment out all the lines regarding syaptics if it your touchpad
[08:46] <hawking> Java_the_Hutt : I've already done that
[08:46] <hawking> I have deleted all the lines saying synaptics
[08:46] <hawking> it still works
[08:46] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: restarted X ?
[08:46] <hawking> Java_the_Hutt: yes
[08:47] <hawking> I have kernel 2.6.14ck1 may that be a reason why this doesn't work?
[08:47] <Java_the_Hutt> hawking: hmm
[08:47] <frazer> kkathman this is the msg i get after killing kate and trying sudo kate again

[08:49] <kkathman> frazer its a tmp file...you can probably just delete that file
[08:50] <hawking> ok

[08:52] <Blippe> when I uncheck "show icons on desktop" in system settings (Desktop - Behavior - general) I get my gnome background. I would rather get my kde-background without icons, is this doable?
[08:52] <Blippe> gnome desktop not only background but the full desktop
[08:53] <frazer> kkathman which file? i deleted the /var/tmp/kdecache-frazer dir and a new one was created and i get the same errors still?
[08:53] <brodel> anyone know how to get shift and enter just to drop down a line in kopete? if I do it in gaim it does it.. but in kopete it sends the message

[09:01] <frazer> kkathman and paste that to paste.ubuntu-nl.org what do you mean by that?  I did ps aux | grep katein the terminal and it gave me 2 lines of information
[09:01] <Cyn1c4L> hello, I have a quick quiestion regarding the upgrade of Ubuntu5.10 on a fresh install to KDE. I've googled for over 12 hours and have been unable to install KDE. Now, apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't make sense to me, because I'm not running KDE, and apt-get install kubuntu-desktop brings me back a kubuntu-desktop not found error :(
[09:02] <andreas_> humm
[09:02] <Cyn1c4L> any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
[09:02] <Cyn1c4L> and I've made sure the /etc/apt/sources.list has the kubuntu lines, which I got right from kde.org and cross-referenced with kubuntu's site
[09:03] <andreas_> you did do apt-get update
[09:03] <Cyn1c4L> yes
[09:03] <andreas_> how about apt-cache search|grep kubuntu
[09:03] <Cyn1c4L> and when I do a apt-get dist-upgrade or (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if I'm not logged in as root), it tells me nothing updated
[09:03] <andreas_> that's strange
[09:04] <Cyn1c4L> apt-cache search|grep kubuntu
[09:04] <Cyn1c4L> E: You must give exactly one pattern
[09:05] <Cyn1c4L> watch this:
