[00:57] <axel_> p_quarles: apache was not the group for the apache server.
[00:57] <axel_>  How to figure out which group the apache server belongs to?
[00:57] <p_quarles> axel_: no, it's usually www-data

[01:00] <cmdln> knetworkmanager just does not seem to work with wireless for me. after I first installed, it did see my wireless card, and I could use it to select a network and connect to it. It would also show the signal strength when connected. Now it only shows the wired network and when I right click on the icon it does not show wireless. If I go into manual settings I can configure the card. .... Have no issue just using iwconfig but does anyone know how to fix knetwor

[01:01] <FnordPerfect> hi everybody.. could somebody help me? I'm about to lose my mind.. I just downgraded from hardy (dev branch) back to gutsy, but it didn't work that great..
[01:02] <FnordPerfect> the system does not boot correctly. it seems that the / partition does not get remounted writable

[01:08] <axel_> Dr_willis: Thanks!
[01:12] <x357> how do i find drivers for my integrated audio chipset?
[01:13] <FnordPerfect> well, as a workaround I simply rewrote udev's init script to not use the non-existent udevadm. Has anyone an idea how to fix the read-only root-partiton issue?
[01:15] <FnordPerfect> **sigh** ok. bye.
[01:15] <Dr_willis> downgrading. Ick. :)
[01:16] <x357> how do i find drivers for my integrated audio chipset? what package?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Depends on the audio chipset.
[01:16] <Dr_willis> the newer alsa versions most likely are whats needed.
[01:18] <x357> alright thx mate
[01:24] <alexbobp> I'm having a problem with mounting isos for large dvds.  When I try to access files near the end of the disk, I get errors like "cat: setup.exe: Input/output error".  In "dmesg | tail", I see [333026.466404] attempt to access beyond end of device / [333026.466410] loop3: rw=0, want=7076300, limit=6205528".  It tends to work when I use the physical DVD in the drive, and for some ISOs, they only work if I use certain mount points.  Does anybo
[01:27] <Dr_willis> alexbobp,  Hmm not seen that issue.
[01:28] <Dr_willis> I wonder if the fuse iso tools will have the same issue
[01:28] <Dr_willis> !find fuseiso
[01:28] <ubotu> Found: fuseiso, fuseiso9660, umview-mod-umfuseiso9660
[01:28] <BonesolTeraDyne> Oddly enough, I had that same problem tryign to mound an SD card before I wiped the PC and reinstalled Kubuntu over Ubuntu.
[01:28] <BonesolTeraDyne> mount*
[01:29] <BonesolTeraDyne> I didn't find a solution, though.
[01:38] <rootlinuxusr> anyone?

[01:43] <bnex10> hello
[01:43] <bnex10> i need help to fix my resolution
[01:44] <bnex10> when i was trying to get halo working on wine
[01:44] <bnex10> well it screwed up my resolution
[01:44] <bnex10> and i had it set to 1280x1024
[01:44] <bnex10> i can't set it back
[01:44] <rootlinuxusr> xorgconfig?
[01:44] <rootlinuxusr> from CL
[01:44] <bnex10> without restarting X
[01:45] <yakuzi> i've a strange problem: i opened Kontact, and i don't have a list of my inbox after i logged in, but just the folders-list and the last read e-mail, i can't see wich e-mails i've or something
[01:45] <bnex10> also, halo needs 32 bit
[01:45] <bnex10> colors
[01:46] <bnex10> should i change 24 to 32 in xorg.conf?
[01:49] <bnex10> "Halo PC requires a 32 bit color quality setting to play in a windowed mode. In Windows, right-click on the desktop and choose Properties to adjust to this setting.
[01:49] <bnex10> "
[01:49] <bnex10> wellll
[01:49] <bnex10> let me try something
[01:49] <rootlinuxusr> is there any reason why my wireless would load, detect the router, but not get an IP?
[01:50] <rootlinuxusr> wpa-psk

[01:53] <PeterFA> I want to find some quality CMS program, is there one in the repository?
[01:53] <PeterFA> CRM
[01:53] <PeterFA> CRM program :P
[01:53] <hydrogen> is there such a thing?
[01:54] <PeterFA> hydrogen, yes.
[01:54]  * Dr_willis wonders what CRM even is
[01:54] <LjL> PeterFA: "quality", i don't know, but it's certainly full of CMS.
[01:54] <PeterFA> hydrogen, vtiger and several otehrs, but I haven't found one in the repository.
[01:54] <Dr_willis> or CMS
[01:54] <rootlinuxusr> I knew what CMS is, didn't know what CRM is..
[01:54] <PeterFA> Customer Relations Management.
[01:54] <PeterFA> Like SugarCRM.
[01:54] <PeterFA> Only that costs money and requires a website.
[01:55] <PeterFA> Which I could do, but no, I don't want to.
[01:55] <LjL> PeterFA: only one i can see is tinyerp-client (and -server)
[01:55] <LjL> PeterFA: no wait, also facturalu
[01:56] <LjL> perhaps egroupware-infolog could also have something to do with that
[01:57] <rootlinuxusr> any basic guides for compiz that work on dell integrated x1270 ati cards? I really wanna see what I'm missing out on.
[01:57] <Dr_willis> !compiz
[01:57] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[01:57] <Dr_willis> is all i know.
[01:57] <Dr_willis> with ati cards.. i wouldent even want to try. :)
[01:58] <rootlinuxusr> xD welp it's all i got
[01:58] <rootlinuxusr> its a lappy
[01:58] <bnex10> damned thing didn't use 32 bit color mode....... BRB again
[02:02] <PeterFA> LjL, thanks.
[02:02] <PeterFA> LjL, I'm going to try both.
[02:02] <PeterFA> LjL, it's so much easier to install from the tree than from some mystery package on the tubs.
[02:08] <Seti-Amon> hey i haven't ran linux in 12 years.i wanted to try out a live cd and someone recommended kubuntu live cd,can someone point me in the direction of the download
[02:09] <jerknextdoor> kubuntu.org
[02:09] <rootlinuxusr> http://kubuntu.org/download.php#latest
[02:09] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: http://kubuntu.com/download.php
[02:11] <Seti-Amon> thanks.both install and live in one?i have never ran a live cd.last distro i ran was suse 4 back in 97 or so
[02:11] <rootlinuxusr> damn
[02:11] <rootlinuxusr> yeah they are on the same
[02:12] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: Yup. It'll have an installer app on the desktop. Still... Suse 4? Wow.
[02:12] <BonesolTeraDyne> speaking of that installer, what's the name of that app?
[02:12] <Seti-Amon> no 64 intel?
[02:13] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: the AMD64 is a generic x64 kernel.
[02:13] <Seti-Amon> so this quadcore qx6700 will work with that amd 64?weird i'll download that one thne
[02:13] <yotux> I am not able to view jpegs in kubuntu and ideas
[02:14] <BonesolTeraDyne> yotux: What application are you using?
[02:15] <yotux> Knoqueror
[02:15] <yotux> I have even tried gwenview
[02:15] <Seti-Amon> The main reason i haven't touched linux in years is lack of  time.didn't have time to fine tune it but from what i hear linux has changed a lot in the last 10 years or so,and kubuntu is especially good for all purposes?
[02:15] <BonesolTeraDyne> hmm... I've never had a problem like that. Let me see if someone else has submitted a similar bug.
[02:16] <BonesolTeraDyne> That was @ yotux.
[02:19] <jerknextdoor> seti-amon:  kubuntu is a pretty straight forward distro.  its good for beginners and/or just trying to discover what this whole gnu/linux thing is
[02:20] <BonesolTeraDyne> grr... Launchpad keeps timing out, and I get an 80% packet loss from pinging it
[02:20] <Ashex> Dr_willis, I just saw your comment >_>, I know I can set it through properties, but I remember that some of my albums folders tend to give themselves an icon based off a picture inside the folder
[02:20] <Seti-Amon> Gnu-linux?linus still pushing that as the official term?
[02:20] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: That would be rms pushing it, not Linus.
[02:21] <jerknextdoor> haha.  i have no idea.  i was making a joke about it.
[02:21] <Seti-Amon> rms?
[02:21] <PeterFA> How do I run a program as priviledged user in the run dialog?
[02:21] <Ashex> PeterFA, kdesu
[02:21] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: Richard M Stallman, founder of the GNU project.
[02:21] <PeterFA> Ashex, oh, I was trying ksu or ksudo
[02:21] <PeterFA> Ashex, couldn't remember.
[02:22] <Seti-Amon> I'v been out of it for years,its just i installed my free "vista upgrade" and well I couldn't even boot it i had to do a clean install of vista and such.losts gigs of stuff hah...not funny but it really has been unstable
[02:23] <Seti-Amon> i was on a friends xp and i was blown away how fast xp was compared to my vista.i swear vista takes up 70% more resources crazy but true.at least on mine
[02:23] <BonesolTeraDyne> yotux: I don't see any bug like that on Launchpad. You might want to ask on the forums, or ask again and hope someone else has a solution.
[02:24] <yotux> I have played with a few setting and things are work 50/50
[02:24] <BonesolTeraDyne> Seti-Amon: might want to take general discussion to #kubuntu-offtopic . Mods tend to frown on general chat in the support channel.
[02:24] <yotux> I am running hardy so that could be part of the problem, then on top of the I install kde4
[02:25] <yotux> strange the kde apps would not read a jpeg file.
[02:25] <yotux> GImp is reading just fine
[02:26] <billyd> I was gonna upgrade to 7.10 with DVD.  Apt says it can't read some files.  I'll wait for 8.04 and upgrade - possily online
[02:27] <Seti-Amon> hey i switched to a new isp and on the wireless comp(not the wired one) i get slowdowns that go down to 9 kbps.this is a 768 connection
[02:27] <Seti-Amon> Anyone ever have a problem like that
[02:28] <Seti-Amon> ig
[02:28] <Seti-Amon> oh
[02:28] <Seti-Amon> thought this was casual
[02:28] <Seti-Amon> sorry

[02:41] <Ashex> Dr_willis, scratch what I said earlier, did some digging and it's an amarok script that's dropping album art in the folders and setting it as an icon
[02:42] <Ashex> if I could find a script to run through my collection and do it, that would rock....
[02:42] <Dr_willis> its just a customized .desktop file in each folder i belive
[02:46] <justeco> If I install a new video card, will X still work under Kubuntu?  Is there a procedure for making X redetect hardware?
[02:54] <bonbonthejon> justeco: i doubt it, but you should get a console and you can reconfigure x there
[02:54] <bonbonthejon> !x

[02:58] <jerware> does anyone program in pascal?
[02:59] <jerware> i cant find delphi compiler.
[03:06] <Dr_willis> There used to be some delphi thing for linux..

[03:07] <Dr_willis> There ya go. :) now if it works any more. No idea
[03:07] <corporeal> anyone know if there is a KinoDV channel?
[03:08] <Dr_willis> check the kinodv web page? see if they mention a channel.
[03:10] <corporeal> ah, irc.gnome.org. blah
[03:10] <corporeal> ...and there's noboody there lol
[03:10] <Jucato> did you join the server?
[03:10] <Jucato> s/join/connect to/
[03:10] <corporeal> ya
[03:11] <corporeal> its empty.
[03:12] <Jucato> no wonder.. the announcement was 2002 :)
[03:12] <corporeal> ya :-p
[03:13] <corporeal> im trying to figure out if i can do a greenscreen effect
[03:14] <Jucato> might want to try asking in #gnome if they have any idea where to ask
[03:14] <Jucato> despite the "k", it's a GNOME app :)
[03:15] <corporeal> good point
[03:16] <profoX`> :O
[03:17] <profoX`> corporeal: kinodv is not meant for advanced chroma key effects like greenscreening ;)
[03:17] <profoX`> if you are looking for GPL software that can do it, check out Cinelerra, although it's rather picky with input and output formats and not very userfriendly
[03:19] <profoX`> corporeal: example of 2 images greenscreened together: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=-qf7wjiVJjA (ubuntu 3D blender animation is greenscreened on top of TV Hilversum intro) here's a little visual tutorial (not by me) http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=KXq5AGlTEcI

[03:28] <Fritzel> thank you

[04:39] <ubuntu_> Hello
[04:40] <stoner_the_first> hello
[04:40] <stoner_the_first> I am a new Kubuntu User
[04:43] <stoner_the_first> How long have ppl used kubuntu?
[04:50] <stoner_the_first> anyone here?
[04:50] <PeterFA> stoner_the_first, no.
[04:50] <stoner_the_first> ok
[04:51] <PeterFA> Good luck tomorrow.
[04:51] <stoner_the_first> The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[04:51] <stoner_the_first> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[04:51] <stoner_the_first> This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
[04:51] <stoner_the_first> HOW DO I FIX THIS
[04:53] <ccvp> exactly what it says
[04:53] <ccvp> trial/error on what it listed
[04:53] <ccvp> reburn the iso with imgburn via www.imgburn.com
[04:53] <ccvp> at a slower speed
[04:54] <stoner_the_first> I ordered it off the website
[04:54] <stoner_the_first> my drive is clean

[04:55] <ccvp> you ordered an ubuntu cd?
[04:56] <ccvp> its free, u can d/l iso, and burn bootable disc via iso

[05:15] <oleander> I had kubuntu on a parttioned drive (not partioned with windows tho, windows was on another drive) and today i deleted the kubuntu partion and formatted it in windows then i went to reboot my pc and now i can boot, it says GRUB loading error 1.5
[05:16] <oleander> and now i cant boot
[05:18] <oleander> iive spent hours today trying to figure it out. if anyone can help me id be so grateful
[05:22] <DarkriftX> you need to get grub off of it and use the windows bootloader
[05:23] <DarkriftX> id think deleting all partitions and letting windows do all the partitioning during windows setup would fix that
[05:23] <DarkriftX> if not, i think there is an option in the system restore to re-add the windows bootloader
[05:24] <oleander> DarkriftX: i can boot into windows
[05:24] <Dr_willis> oleander,  what os?
[05:24] <DarkriftX> then whats the problem
[05:24] <Dr_willis> xp = boot xp cd, use rescue mode, command is 'fdisk /mbr'
[05:24] <Dr_willis> Vista has some other commands..
[05:25] <Dr_willis> Or was that fdisk /mbr for win95?
[05:25] <DarkriftX> prob xp also
[05:25] <DarkriftX> fdisk hasnt changed since dos 2.5
[05:25] <DarkriftX> lol
[05:25] <Dr_willis> fdisk /mbr,   fixmbr, fixboot, then vista had some OTHER stuff...
[05:25] <Dr_willis> I dont think fdisk was in xp.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> Nice of MS to remove a age-old-standard tool. :)
[05:26] <DarkriftX> of course
[05:26] <oleander> can i get grub off it using live cd?
[05:26] <DarkriftX> nice of me to remove MS :)
[05:26] <Dr_willis> deleteing the partitions does not replace the mbr. :)
[05:26] <DarkriftX> no, but deleting them makes windows do more when it comes to partitioning
[05:26] <Dr_willis> oleander,  a linux live cd?  Depends on the windows OS youare wanting to use.
[05:26] <oleander> yeh
[05:27] <Dr_willis> find a XP cd, pop it in, use its rescue mode/recovery thing to get to a terminal, use fixmbr i thinkis proberly the easiest way
[05:27] <oleander> i wont wipe my xp drive doing this will i?
[05:27] <DarkriftX> no
[05:27] <Dr_willis> it will write a NEW mbr to the hard disk. thats it.
[05:27] <DarkriftX> just your mbr
[05:27] <DarkriftX> mbr = master boot record
[05:27] <oleander> ok ill try that now
[05:28] <Dr_willis> This has to be documented in 100000s of places. :)
[05:28] <Dr_willis> if ya know what to search for
[05:28] <Dr_willis> http://www.techzonez.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3975.html
[05:28] <DarkriftX> Dr_willis, feel up for doing me a favor?
[05:28] <Dr_willis> Depends.. :) and no i aint got no $$
[05:28] <Dr_willis> :P
[05:30] <DarkriftX> its part of an assignment, and the winner gets $30 (and a passing "grade")
[05:30] <oleander> Dr_willis: i boot from xp disc, how do i get the rescue mode/recovery thing to get to a terminal
[05:31] <Dr_willis> oleander,  notice that url i posted above?
[05:31] <DarkriftX> i think hitting f8 during boot
[05:31] <oleander> ah thanks
[05:31] <kkathman> does anyone know how to get the repositories for compiz to download into kubuntu?  I installed subversion but when I click on the downloads they dont do anything.
[05:31] <Dr_willis> they mention hitting R. :) but i dont recall ever doing that.
[05:34] <Dr_willis> !compiz
[05:34] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[05:34] <Dr_willis> kkathman,  that url tells ya exactly what commands to use.. :) or at least it did.. because i edited the wiki page to incude them
[05:34] <Jucato> (also gives a clue where to ask questions to get better answers :)
[05:35] <Dr_willis> kkathman,  run the emerald theme manager from a terminal, to see it spit out any error messages also.
[05:35] <kkathman> Dr_willis:  well, it does say how to install it, but not what to do with the  downloading of emerald themes
[05:35] <DarkriftX> you have to get emerald-themes from the website
[05:35] <DarkriftX> its a deb package, install it with dpkg -i filename.deb
[05:35] <kkathman> aw that really is too bad, other distros make it so much easier :(
[05:36] <oleander> Dr_willis: it worked thanks thanks soo much
[05:36] <kkathman> DarkriftX:  I assume you mean the compiz-themes site?
[05:36] <DarkriftX> i actually searched google and found it
[05:37] <kkathman> DarkriftX:  could you please share that site?
[05:37] <DarkriftX> i think i searched "emerald-theme deb" or add an s to theme, not sure
[05:37] <DarkriftX> its on a debian mirror
[05:37] <kkathman> Well its interesting that kubuntu installs a page that says "click here to get more themes" and neither button works :)
[05:38] <kkathman> but I'll check the web for debs
[05:38] <Dr_willis> kkathman,  the emerald themes get downloaded to the users home dir last i checked. I havent used the thing much.
[05:38] <Dr_willis> I had to run/install some cvs commands to get them to work i recall
[05:39] <Dr_willis> sudo apt-get install subversion
[05:39] <Dr_willis> svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes
[05:39] <kkathman> Dr_willis:  yes I remember - I think in Edgy or maybe Feisty it did that too
[05:39] <Dr_willis> You can then use the "Fetch GPL'd themes" button of The "emerald-theme-manager" tool.
[05:39] <kkathman> yeah I installed subversion, as I said before
[05:39] <Dr_willis> I dont think the other button had ever worked.
[05:39] <Dr_willis> It worked for me under gutsy  just a few weeks ago
[05:39] <kkathman> I think you were right
[05:39] <Dr_willis> Im not on gutsy any more. so cant verify. it might be their servers are down
[05:39] <kkathman> but I did install subversion and neither button works :(
[05:40] <Dr_willis> run the emerald tool from a terminal, look for error messages
[05:40] <Dr_willis> thats about all ya can do.
[05:40] <kkathman> it says that you must run the subversion command from a shell, and accept a certificate....but the certificate expired
[05:40] <Dr_willis> lol. :)
[05:41] <Dr_willis> svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes
[05:41] <Dr_willis> worked here.. i hit 'p' to accept it permenetly
[05:41] <DarkriftX> kkathman, im finding it
[05:41] <DarkriftX> oh, you found it
[05:43] <Dr_willis> Well the emerald-theme manager tool for Hardy - dosent even have those download buttons any more
[05:43] <Dr_willis> I got a big 1 theme. :)
[05:44] <Angry_Bacon> I'm trying to get nVidia 164.21 drivers working with a 8800gt. but anything i do gives me signal loss as soon as i startx
[05:44] <kkathman> yah thats the bad one
[05:44] <kkathman> svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/emerald-themes'
[05:44] <kkathman> svn: PROPFIND of '/emerald-themes': Server certificate verification failed: certificate has expired, certificate issued for a different hostname, issuer is not trusted (https://svn.generation.no)
[05:45] <kkathman> its a vicious circle :)
[05:45] <Angry_Bacon> lol
[05:45] <mbnoimi> is there any picture for help spread the word about kubuntu
[05:45] <Dr_willis> kkathman,  looks to me like the guys behind dmerald decided to stop hosting the themes..
[05:46] <kkathman> apparently
[05:46] <maduser> there're t-shirts
[05:46] <Angry_Bacon> anyone know where else would be good to ask about my driver issues?(besides #ubuntu)
[05:46] <kkathman> I swear they used to work in feisty
[05:46] <mbnoimi> like this link: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/display.js"></script>
[05:46] <Dr_willis> kkathman, but svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes   DID work here for me.
[05:46] <Dr_willis> kkathman,  and it does seem to download some files.
[05:46] <kkathman> hmm
[05:47] <Dr_willis> i selected 'p' to permently accept. and then it printed out a lot of theme names. tako.emerald and so forth.
[05:47] <mbnoimi> I like kubuntu more than ubuntu so I want to put a link about commning new version in my blog
[05:47] <Dr_willis> But (and i am under hardy) those themes are not showing up in the emerald theme manager
[05:48] <kkathman> Dr_willis:  ok I did it again, but this time I chose (p) for permanent (instead of a or hitting return)  yes... got some files :)
[05:48] <mbnoimi> I found this link for spreading ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta but I couldn't find one for kubuntu
[05:48] <kkathman> now I dunno where it put them :)
[05:48] <kkathman> heh
[05:49] <Jucato> I don't think there is one for Kubuntu
[05:49] <Angry_Bacon> there is
[05:49] <Angry_Bacon> 1 sec
[05:49] <mbnoimi> Jucato: are you sure?
[05:49] <Jucato> nope. not sure :)
[05:50] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: I'm waiting
[05:50] <Angry_Bacon> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/Beta/Kubuntu#head-eacd960c95e6f1eb8fb73688e414e85b112f6073
[05:50] <kkathman> yeesh - here themy themy themy -whistles
[05:50] <Dr_willis> I rember why i stopped using emerald
[05:51] <Dr_willis> and compiz.. :) hehheh
[05:51] <Dr_willis> bbl
[05:51] <Jucato> Angry_Bacon: um.. I think he was looking for something like the Ubuntu Countdown counter
[05:52] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: the link you've put not like this link http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown
[05:52] <Angry_Bacon> ohh
[05:52] <mbnoimi> Jucato: exactly
[05:52] <Angry_Bacon> you could download the .js and edit it
[05:53] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: I'm not artist !
[05:53] <Angry_Bacon> just steal something from the kubuntu website
[05:53] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: :-D
[05:53] <Angry_Bacon> hehe
[05:53] <Angry_Bacon> that and a gradient
[05:54] <Angry_Bacon> gradients are the bread and butter of computer art
[05:54] <kkathman> aha!! eureka :)
[05:54] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: could you steel soething for me, and give me a link
[05:55] <Angry_Bacon> theres probably something on your hd if you dig around
[05:55] <Angry_Bacon> look like in /usr/share
[05:55] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: I want something already found
[05:56] <mbnoimi> Angry_Bacon: something has nice design like http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown
[05:56]  * Angry_Bacon feels as though he should get some quid quo pro...
[05:58] <mbnoimi> are you there?
[05:59] <Angry_Bacon> http://www.kubuntu-art.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7800&PHPSESSID=f0f50ed975315da156e51c30831ac760
[05:59] <Angry_Bacon> knock yourself out
[06:01] <mbnoimi> AngryBacon: thanks, but it didn't good choice
[06:14] <arunkale> Hello, everyone. Is there any way to copy one file (text file) into all the subdirectories of a particular directory using the command line?
[06:14] <AngryBacon> cp -d -r
[06:14] <AngryBacon> o wait, misread
[06:15] <AngryBacon> ls -R (directory) | cp file
[06:19] <AngryBacon> Does any1 know how to get an 8800gt working?
[06:19] <arunkale> AngryBacon: so say i want to copy a file readme.txt into all the subdirectories of a directory called abc..
[06:20] <arunkale> is this the right command: ls -R abc | cp readme.txt
[06:20] <AngryBacon> yes, i don't know if it will work but maybe, lemme check something first
[06:20] <arunkale> alright
[06:22] <AngryBacon> that didn't work
[06:23] <AngryBacon> do you know any sort of scripting?
[06:23] <AngryBacon> i'll see if i can whip up a python script
[06:24] <hydrogen> arunkale: for i in `find dir -type d`; do cp readme.txt $i; done;
[06:24] <hydrogen> dir being the top level directory you want to copy the file into
[06:24] <hydrogen> should work
[06:24]  * AngryBacon should probably learn bash scriping
[06:24] <arunkale> hydrogen: i should enter that at the prompt?
[06:24] <hydrogen> yes
[06:26] <arunkale> hydrogen: awesome, will try that. thanks!!
[06:27] <Dr_willis> that so sounds like a homework problem...
[06:27] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:27] <maduser> apt-get moo
[06:27] <Dr_willis> apt-get install cowsay moo fortune
[06:27] <Dr_willis> fortune | cowsay
[06:27] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:28] <maduser> just type in the terminal apt-get moo
[06:28] <maduser> :)
[06:36] <rabindra> i need some help about my refresh rate it's just 50 hz this is the third time i am asking
[06:37] <AngryBacon> check on your monitors OSD to make sure thats what it really is, sometimes the options screen lies
[06:37] <Dr_willis> You are on a crt or lcd monitor? what video card.. have you installed the drivers for that card?
[06:38] <maduser> If no one is ansering it means no one knows the ansewer
[06:38] <Dr_willis> i dont ecen know how you check the refresh rate any more. I got all lcd's
[06:39] <rabindra> Dr_willis: it's a CRT monitor
[06:40] <Dr_willis> I guess ya could use that modeline generator web site - if all else fails.
[06:40] <rabindra> Dr_willis: I have nvidia graphics card and as soon as i installed kubuntu i also enabled the restricted drivers since then it's 50 no more no less
[06:41] <Dr_willis> It may be the monitor settings are some how saying it cant do more. when in fact it can.
[06:41] <Dr_willis> the nvidia drivers some how query the monitor to get the modes it can hanel
[06:41] <AngryBacon> you can speify in xorg.con
[06:41] <AngryBacon> f
[06:41] <Dr_willis> i used   http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl   ages ago when i had a CRT
[06:42] <westy> sudo apt-get kde4-core doesnt work what can i use to replace i
[06:42] <Dr_willis> !kde4
[06:42] <ubotu> KDE 4.0.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.3 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.3.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.3.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[06:42] <maduser> the channel must be swamped with people with problems
[06:43] <maduser> or not
[06:43] <Dr_willis> It is 2am in the USA :) so not a lot of people on
[06:43] <maduser> where are you?

[06:50] <Dr_willis> so i get the weekend off..and end up staying up all night watching anime
[06:50] <Dr_willis> and chatting on IRC
[06:50] <Dr_willis> wife is gone for the weekend.. so i am living large!
[06:50] <maduser> w00t

[06:50] <hhMish_> What is difference between debootstrap and cdebootstrap ?
[06:51] <maduser> what anime?
[06:51] <maduser> death note?
[06:51] <Daisuke-Ido> ugh
[06:51] <westy> hey dr. willis that help page didnt show me anything diff that i have done... still have the same problemE: Couldn't find package kde4-core
[06:52] <westy> and no one in that chat room is alive
[06:52] <Daisuke-Ido> sorry, it just peeves me that "anime" and "death note" have become synonymous...  it wasn't that great
[06:52] <maduser> did you add the right repository to your sources?
[06:52] <Jucato> (it's also offtopic)
[06:52] <Jucato> :)
[06:52] <maduser> its popular and curently on adultswim
[06:53] <westy> add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main to your /etc/apt/sources.lis
[06:53] <maduser> at this junture
[06:53] <westy> i put that in there
[06:53] <Dr_willis> ive only seen 5 min of 'deathnote' and dident care for it. :) but thats it.. heh..   i dont have tv any more. :)
[06:54] <Daisuke-Ido> pastebin your sources.list, can you?
[06:54] <maduser> have you seen NGE?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> westy,  you did an apt-cache search kde4 ? there should be dozens of packages?
[06:54] <Daisuke-Ido> Dr_willis, i'm going to guess fansubs?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> Daisuke-Ido,  to some degree. :)
[06:54] <Daisuke-Ido> maduser, now that's classic :)
[06:54] <westy> yup lots of kde4 packs...
[06:54] <westy> dont know how to use pastbin
[06:55] <westy> im coming from gentoo and barely used kubuntu
[06:55] <westy> its a bid change
[06:55] <westy> big**
[06:55] <Dr_willis> apt-get install pastebinit
[06:55] <Dr_willis> cat file | pastebinit
[06:55] <Dr_willis> I imagine you want to isntall more then kde4-core
[06:55] <fudus3> for some reason sound doesn't i have a ALC883 sound thing
[06:55] <westy> yes
[06:56] <westy> i have the full install
[06:56] <fudus3> oh mixer solved that

[06:57] <westy> line 22
[06:59] <fudus3> how do i install compositing in 7.10?
[07:03] <westy> i got it
[07:07] <fudus3> or how to set clock to 12hour
[07:08] <Dr_willis> right click on the clock. set the time/date settings..
[07:09] <Dr_willis> Now to make it actually start showing.. either logout, or thers some other command to restart the clock
[07:09] <Dr_willis> as for the KDE4 clock.. NO idea there. :)
[07:09] <fudus3> kubuntu faq page in topic redirects to ubuntu :/
[07:12] <maduser> most of the fixes for ubuntu work for kubutnu
[07:15] <jerknextdoor> that kde4 clock makes me so angry.  if you find out let me know, fudus3.  haha
[07:17] <maduser> kde4 is not ready for kubuntu
[07:17] <gh> !kernel
[07:17] <ubotu> The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[07:18] <fudus3> how do i install compiz without inserting gtk?
[07:19] <fudus3> i really don't want to install gnome libraries :P
[07:20] <maduser> why not?
[07:21] <Makuseru> hi, i seem to be having a problem with Amarok, all of a sudden it wont get album covers, i right click and tell it "fetch cover from amazon" but it just never does it. anyone know how to fix this proble,?
[07:21] <fudus3> if i did i'd use gnome :/
[07:23] <Malique> Hey guys, made some progress with my laptop, but is anyone able to help me work out how to properly replace ALSA with OSS?
[07:23] <Malique> I haven't found much in the way of good HOWTO's
[07:23] <jerknextdoor> amarok says that amazon changed something so they cant fetch right now.
[07:23] <jerknextdoor> ask #amarok for further guidence
[07:23] <Makuseru> thanks
[07:26] <kkathman> is it possible to change the icons for a panel applet like the K-menu or other applets?
[07:27] <Malique> Anyone?
[07:28] <kkathman> Malique:  dont change to OSS
[07:28] <kkathman> its deprecated
[07:28] <Malique> ALSA doesn't work with my sound card, that's why I need to use OSS
[07:29] <kkathman> you should be able to make it work - its more open than OSS
[07:29] <kkathman> and like I said - OSS is going away
[07:30] <Malique> kkathman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/210865
[07:30] <kkathman> good its a bug that will be fixed :)
[07:31] <Malique> It's a bug report I made, so far it seems to have very little attention
[07:31] <patoe1_> yay
[07:31] <patoe1_> iz backs
[07:31] <fudus3> (whines about having to install gnome libs to use compiz)
[07:32] <Malique> In the meantime, ALSA needs to go, because I don't like my chances of it getting fixed
[07:32] <Malique> At least, not soon
[07:32] <kkathman> Malique:  is this a desktop or laptop
[07:32] <Malique> I seem to be the only person with this problem for my card
[07:32] <patoe1_> whats the problem?
[07:32] <fudus3> i don't want to install it
[07:32] <Malique> kkathman: Laptop, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/MedionMD96420
[07:32] <Malique> (I can't program, but I try to contribute how I can :))
[07:33] <fudus3> but it seems that i have to to install compiz
[07:33] <kkathman> ahh too bad
[07:33] <kkathman> yeah thats a bit of a odd card alright - not good support ever
[07:33] <patoe1> i love compiz
[07:34] <kkathman> you are between a rock and a hard place - OSS might work, but its going away, and ALSA doesnt work yet :)
[07:34] <patoe1> !compiz
[07:34] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[07:34] <Malique> kkathman: What about this pulseaudio thing? Can I use that with an OSS backend or something?
[07:35] <kkathman> Malique:  perhaps - Im not familiar with that
[07:35] <Malique> What would be great is if I could get it to sit between ALSA programs like KMix etc. and translate them down to the OSS drivers
[07:36] <Malique> But unfortunately, I can't find any walkthrus or HOWTOs to do anything with it, it doesn't work on my system
[07:36] <kkathman> yah, yer kinda stuck there with that card
[07:38] <Malique> I made a bug report here too: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3886
[07:38] <patoe1> chase is bored, is anyone set up like me, i have kubuntu installed with the xubuntu overlay (xfce)
[07:39] <patoe1> ??
[07:40] <kkathman> patoe1: nope I dont use xubuntu at all - dont care for xfce personally
[07:41] <patoe1> kkathman : serious? i love xfce!
[07:41] <kkathman> thats what's great about linux - user's choice
[07:41] <patoe1> lol yea
[07:41] <patoe1> i have compiz and my linux is stacked
[07:42] <kkathman> I have compiz also
[07:43] <patoe1> i have the destop cube, wobly windows its stacked, my freind wants me to install linux on this computer :p
[07:43] <Malique> Am I the only Linux user left who DOESN'T use compiz or beryl or any of those?!? LOL
[07:43] <patoe1> his**
[07:43] <patoe1> Malique : proboly
[07:43] <kkathman> patoe1:  thats kewl you should
[07:44] <kkathman> Malique:  no, there are lots of people that dont want to bother with the compiz stuff, so dont feel bad :)
[07:44] <patoe1> yea i would but its kinda hard to find some linux programs
[07:44] <DarkestHour> Malique: i used to, then i went to kde4 and just used the default desktop effects it has. It seems to do just the right amount.
[07:44] <jerknextdoor> malique, i dont use any of them.  but that's just because i havent tried to set i up yet
[07:44] <patoe1> jerknextdoor: !compiz
[07:44] <kkathman> patoe1: like what kinds of linux programs are you looking for - hard to believe you cant find something
[07:46] <patoe1> well i can find lost but there all .rmp or whatever and its hard to find .dem files or w/e i need
[07:46] <kkathman> you mean games then?
[07:48] <Malique> Fair enough, yer I've just never really been bothered with compiz or any of that
[07:49] <kkathman> Malique: compiz is nice for visual effect, but I'd say its really does nothing for productivity really.
[07:49] <kkathman> so alot of people dont bother
[07:55] <ubuntu> wow i just tried this live cd i burnt.i haven't tried linux in over a decade and man is it a lot less of a pain in the ass
[07:56] <SetiAmon> one thing i don't hear is any audio
[07:57] <SetiAmon> No pnp Audio?
[08:00] <Malique> OK, is there a way to force ALSA to prefer one device on a sound card to another?
[08:01] <jerknextdoor> Seti: did you boot directly into the disk or are you using something like parallels or virtualbox?
[08:01] <SetiAmon> directly.just booted to the disk
[08:01] <SetiAmon> I mean i booted up the cd
[08:01] <jerknextdoor> that's what i meant.
[08:02] <SetiAmon> i was just wondering what i had to do to get sound working?i was surprised my wifi was picked up right away,thats pretty awesome
[08:02] <jerknextdoor> yeah...usually it's the sound and not the wifi with me atleast.  haha.  never had a problem with sound not working.  sorry.
[08:03] <DarkriftX> yeah, very odd that wifi worked but not sound
[08:03] <DarkriftX> probably a driver issue
[08:03] <SetiAmon> Hmm its a x-fi
[08:04] <SetiAmon> hmm weird if i actually installed it i assume i would run into the same audio problem
[08:04] <SetiAmon> anyone know the url of a speed test that doesn't use java
[08:05] <DarkestHour> http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
[08:05] <DarkestHour> that one uses flash
[08:07] <DarkestHour> SetiAmon: which x-fi card is it that you have?
[08:07] <SetiAmon> I meant one that Does NOT use java.
[08:07] <SetiAmon> xtreme music
[08:08] <jerknextdoor> speakeasy uses flash, not java.
[08:08] <DarkestHour> i'm checking some thigns for you about this, give me a sec.
[08:08] <DarkestHour> oi, it used to be flash, lol.
[08:08] <SetiAmon> err sorry
[08:08] <SetiAmon> i meant
[08:08] <SetiAmon> not java
[08:08] <SetiAmon> err
[08:08] <SetiAmon> not flash
[08:08] <SetiAmon> sorry i'm tired
[08:08] <jerknextdoor> it's all good
[08:11] <SetiAmon> its ok i just tried downlading a file.pretty goog speeds 80 kbps drops down to about 60 and then goes back up.seems more stable then on vista
[08:11] <DarkestHour> SetiAmon: most of the problems with vista is that it tends to throttle network connections when it plays any sound. It's wierd.
[08:12] <SetiAmon> since i switched to this wireless broadband its been pretty weird.it goes down real fast then climbs back up and then drops down again.i think it might be my 2.4 ghz wireless phones.I switched to G only before it was G and B mixed.i heard that might help but it seems to be not much different
[08:12] <DarkestHour> SetiAmon: as for you x-fi creative as per usual doesnt have proper drivers, they only provide a 64-bit BETA driver from what i can see there.
[08:12] <SetiAmon> dig.Do they have that open sound program
[08:13] <DarkestHour> here's the link for the Creative open source page, http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html#X-FI
[08:15] <SetiAmon> cool at least they have something
[08:15] <DarkestHour> yeah
[08:17] <DarkestHour> i have a client that runs an x-fi on a vista box, i had to install the hacked drivers for the thing to even work right, so i expect creative doesnt even think about their drivers much,
[08:17] <SetiAmon> I should say its all a lot simpler from what i remmeber.when i ran linux i never touched X because i didn't want to go threw the hasle.i just stayed in console
[08:17] <DarkestHour> i know whatyou mean. i've switched on and off from linux until about 1 year ago.
[08:19] <SetiAmon> Well i'm going to hit the hay for awhile
[08:19] <SetiAmon> thanks
[08:21] <maduser> whos seen the show balls of steel
[08:21] <maduser> ?
[08:29] <DrNoboto> so um, somehow the entire contents of /usr got erased
[08:30] <DrNoboto> i'm kinda screwed now
[08:30] <DrNoboto> i upgraded to 8.04 a little while ago and everything actually worked better than before
[08:30] <DrNoboto> until i realized i was booting the old kernel every time
[08:31] <DrNoboto> i tried booting the new kernel and it dumped me to a text login
[08:31] <DrNoboto> after a million "command not founds"
[08:32] <DrNoboto> hola
[08:32] <progmano1> how can i install widgets in KDE 4.0.3?
[08:32] <DrNoboto> i dunno
[08:32] <DrNoboto> i'm still using 3
[08:32] <DrNoboto> 4 looked too "bubbly"
[08:33] <Jucato> progmano1: #kubuntu-kde4 please
[08:33] <progmano1> KDE 4.0.3 is okay.  I'm just testing it
[08:33] <progmano1> okay
[08:34] <DrNoboto> though for some reason my rc scripts are looking for kdm-kde4 now
[08:34] <DrNoboto> which of course doesn't exist since /usr is empty
[08:34] <progmano1> why is your "/usr" empty?
[08:35] <DrNoboto> beats me
[08:35] <DrNoboto> i upgraded to 8.04 a little while ago
[08:35] <DrNoboto> and just realized i'd still been booting the old kernel
[08:35] <DrNoboto> so i tried booting the new one and it dumped me to a text login after a screen full of "command not founds"
[08:35] <progmano1> so basically, you are running a bare shell on your Kubuntu computer?
[08:36] <DrNoboto> no, i was running a full desktop install
[08:36] <DrNoboto> ./usr just disappeared
[08:36] <DrNoboto> sounds crazy i know
[08:36] <progmano1> i'm confused
[08:36] <DrNoboto> me too
[08:37] <progmano1> is that in your home directory?
[08:37] <DrNoboto> no
[08:37] <DrNoboto> it's /usr
[08:37] <DrNoboto> my home directory is untouched
[08:37] <DrNoboto> so apparently is the rest of my system
[08:38] <progmano1> what's the output of whereis kdm
[08:38] <progmano1> ?
[08:38] <DrNoboto> i'd have to reboot to tell you
[08:38] <progmano1> k
[08:38] <DrNoboto> shall i?
[08:39] <progmano1> if you want to
[08:39] <DrNoboto> brb
[08:39] <progmano1> k
[08:44] <DrNoboto> "command not found"
[08:44] <DrNoboto> how ironig
[08:45] <DrNoboto> -g+c
[08:46] <progmano1> try whereis kwin
[08:46] <DrNoboto> whereis is the command that wasn't found
[08:46] <progmano1> ah
[08:46] <progmano1> that's strange
[08:47] <DrNoboto> i guess it was in /usr/bin
[08:47] <smurfslover> DrNoboto: my gutsy broke the same way a couple of days ago
[08:47] <progmano1> yeah
[08:47] <smurfslover> don't know why
[08:47] <DrNoboto> really?
[08:47] <DrNoboto> that's so bizarre
[08:47] <smurfslover> the latest update i got was kde 4.0.3
[08:47] <progmano1> where is your kwin located?
[08:47] <smurfslover> afterwards even apt-get gave me a command not found
[08:47] <DrNoboto> uh oh
[08:47] <smurfslover> while i could still whereis it
[08:48] <DrNoboto> that's no good
[08:48] <DrNoboto> what'd you do?
[08:48] <DrNoboto> rip it down and reinstall?
[08:48] <smurfslover> luckily it's not my main os
[08:48] <smurfslover> i use pclinuxos as main
[08:48] <smurfslover> i installed kubuntu only for kde 4
[08:48] <DrNoboto> ah
[08:49] <DrNoboto> it's almost like whichever partition i have mapped to /usr isn't being mounted
[08:49] <Malique> Can someone please help me find a way to PUNISH alsa for being so horrible?
[08:49] <progmano1> that is really strange
[08:49] <eagles05> hey
[08:49] <eagles05> !ghost
[08:49] <ubotu> On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[08:50] <eagles0513875> anyone alive in here
[08:50] <DrNoboto> sorta
[08:51] <Malique> I think ALSA is trying to use the wrong device on my sound card, is there a way to find out, and is there a way to change it?
[08:51] <steve__> how do i login in as root in the terminal
[08:51] <progmano1> DrNoboto, I'd say reinstall
[08:51] <eagles0513875> steve__: su then the password
[08:51] <steve__> thanks
[08:52] <eagles0513875> im having more problems then i think suse on this laptop is worth to be honest
[08:52] <Jucato> steve__: sudo -i
[08:52] <eagles0513875> sry im thinking suse
[08:52] <DrNoboto> progmano1: only as a last resort
[08:52] <steve__> its cool
[08:53] <Jucato> !supportroot
[08:53] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[08:53] <smurfslover> sudo su to become root
[08:53] <Malique> Anyone?
[08:53] <DrNoboto> problems as a result of having a root password?
[08:53] <DrNoboto> i have more problems without one
[08:53] <smurfslover> or sudo passwd root if you want to use su
[08:53] <progmano1> DrNoboto: do you have apt-get?
[08:53] <Jucato> smurfslover: read above :)
[08:54] <eagles0513875> Jucato: can u help me out i got this laptop back in december and with the regulary gutsy install hangs on formatting my partitions and on the alternate it installs just fine but it hangs on loading hardware devices does taht mean my hardware is just 2 new and 2ndly will the latest kernel fix these problems
[08:54] <DrNoboto> progmano1, i hope so
[08:54] <smurfslover> i can't live without a real root
[08:54] <smurfslover> lol
[08:54] <DrNoboto> i'm downloading the 8.04 cd now
[08:54] <eagles0513875> smurfslover: yes u can
[08:54] <DrNoboto> eagles0513875: balderdash
[08:54] <progmano1> if so just run "sudo apt-get reinstall kubuntu-desktop"
[08:54] <Jucato> smurfslover: sure. but maybe others can. or if you can live and support others as long as you live, be our guest :)
[08:55] <eagles0513875> DrNoboto: what
[08:55] <DrNoboto> progmano1, hopefully i still have the packages.  if not i'm downloading the cd now
[08:55] <DrNoboto> eagles0513875, that someone can live without a real root : 0
[08:55] <DrNoboto> brb
[08:55] <eagles0513875> DrNoboto: i can
[08:55] <eagles0513875> lol
[08:55] <Jucato> eagles0513875: might be a bad burn?
[08:56] <Malique> Anyone who's not busy and/or sleeping?
[08:56] <eagles0513875> they work just fine no problems when the cd's verified
[08:56] <DrNoboto> progmano1, and no sudo for me, since i have a real root : )
[08:56] <eagles0513875> then with gutsy my other problem is i have a nasty pnp bios bug
[08:57] <eagles0513875> open suse is more of a headache then kubuntu
[08:57] <eagles0513875> u kubuntu users have it really easy since gutsy came out with the restricted drivers manager
[08:58] <eagles0513875> in all honesty i miss kubuntu
[08:59] <eagles0513875> Jucato: is there a way prior to booting i can go into a cli and run a dist-upgrade and maybe taht way i might get it working
[09:00] <eagles0513875> hold that thought need to restart my laptop to see if i have direct rendering
[09:03] <DrNoboto> apt-get: command not found
[09:03] <DrNoboto> :(
[09:03] <DrNoboto> i'm kinda without a paddle now aren't i?
[09:03] <DrNoboto> how do i install apt without apt?
[09:04] <Malique> LOL
[09:05] <smurfslover> DrNoboto: i had the same thing
[09:05] <smurfslover> aptitude doesn't work also
[09:05] <smurfslover> nothing does
[09:05] <smurfslover> :(
[09:06] <DrNoboto> crap
[09:06] <DrNoboto> how in the heck does that happen?
[09:07] <ubuntu> is this the right channel for asking for help ?
[09:07] <DrNoboto> i was going to ask you for help
[09:07] <DrNoboto> with that name, i thought you'd be an expert
[09:07] <travkin> ubuntu: if you are using Kubuntu, yes
[09:08] <travkin> if Ubuntu - visit #ubuntu
[09:08] <ubuntu> yeah, it's kubuntu, but it's a GRUB related problem
[09:08] <travkin> ok
[09:08] <travkin> ask
[09:09] <ubuntu> i'm having the GRUB 17 error on boot, but i've looked in the forums and i'm still having problems to fix this :/
[09:09] <travkin> grub error 17?
[09:09] <travkin> hm
[09:09] <ubuntu> yep
[09:10] <travkin> w8, i'm reboot
[09:11] <DrNoboto> i'm gonna go see if /usr is mounted
[09:12] <DrNoboto> i should check mtab for that right?
[09:13] <steve__> anyone failiar with john the ripper
[09:13] <steve__> familiar**
[09:14] <reindeer>  Good morning all. I have two issues w/ peripherals and playlist-to-podcast conversions.
[09:15] <progmano1> ok, start w/ the peripherals issue
[09:15] <reindeer> I'd likme to deal with reversing permissions on my Western Digital USB external 320 Gig.
[09:16] <progmano1> ok
[09:16] <progmano1> what are you trying to change?
[09:16] <progmano1> use chmod
[09:16] <reindeer> I'm attemting to reverse the write permissions on the drive itself.
[09:18] <progmano1> in unix, everything is a file and you can change the permissions of the files.
[09:18] <reindeer> I'm haviing a whale of a time divin' into xterm as root to change these write permissions so I am able to swap files as a normal user.
[09:19] <progmano1> open a terminal and use sudo chmod
[09:19] <reindeer> How am I able to perform the function without damaging my proper root permissions allowed on the kernel?
[09:19] <reindeer> Will do.
[09:20] <progmano1> what files are you trying to change the permissions of?
[09:22] <reindeer> All of my music/ vid files stored on my external.
[09:22] <JoshOvki> reindeer: so you just need people to have full access to an external drive?
[09:24] <reindeer> Only within my local network via Samba. I was able to write into these files a few weeks ago until I had to reboot my box. Since then, I couldn't write to my drive.
[09:24] <progmano1> ah, you could run sudo chown -R user directory  (-R is recursive and will change the ownership of all files within a directory)
[09:24] <reindeer> Lete me give that a shot. I'll brb.
[09:28] <steve__> anyone failiar with john the ripper
[09:28] <reindeer> The command is not workin' out. Either I have too many arguments listed or something is seriously locking me out of my own drive.
[09:28] <DrNoboto> hmm
[09:28] <DrNoboto> mount -L /usr
[09:28] <DrNoboto> operation not permitted
[09:28] <DrNoboto> so /usr isn't being mounted
[09:28] <reindeer> k. brb.
[09:29] <DrNoboto> why could that happen?
[09:30] <crazy_bus> I need to split a file into multiple parts to transfer it on a usb stick.  I looked in ark but I can't find any option to do it.  Can anyone show me how to do it?
[09:30] <reindeer> I've asked myself the same question three weeks ago when I could no longer write/ swap files into the drive. THat's when I discovered the 501/ dialout for both user/ root. I realized, then, I was screwed after my reboot.
[09:31] <progmano1> DrNoboto: what is the file name of the device (e.g. /dev/hda1)?
[09:31] <DrNoboto> it's /dev/hda8
[09:31] <progmano1> what filesystem does the partition have?
[09:32] <DrNoboto> probably rfs
[09:33] <reindeer> I'll poke into the /dev file and scope it out.
[09:33] <progmano1> do you mean reiserfs?
[09:33] <DrNoboto> yes
[09:33] <progmano1> rfs is remote file system
[09:34] <DrNoboto> oops
[09:34] <DrNoboto> definitely not that
[09:34] <DrNoboto> i meant reiser
[09:34] <progmano1> post the contents of cat /etc/fstab
[09:35] <DrNoboto> that's not really possible
[09:36] <progmano1> why not?
[09:36] <DrNoboto> unless i can find a usb stick around here
[09:37] <DrNoboto> i'm gonna try and mount it again, and check /var/log/messages
[09:37] <DrNoboto> i'll try to remember the fstab line
[09:38] <thomi> Does anyone know if I can get kubuntu packages for the Trolltech Qt 4.4 release candidate?
[09:38] <progmano1> try mount -t reiserfs -o rw /dev/hda8 /usr
[09:41] <reindeer> The name of the external I'm working with is hfsplus.
[09:42] <reindeer> I ran the mount -L /usr command and the internal USB driver just bailed the drive.
[09:43] <reindeer> Any recommendations?
[09:44] <progmano1> reindeer: that message was something DrNoboto tried on his pc.  it wasn't a suggestion to you
[09:45] <reindeer> Man, I got overzealous on the fix. My bad.
[09:48] <progmano1> reindeer: do you need to be able to read and write to the drive or only read the files?
[09:51] <reindeer> read and write the entire drive.
[09:55] <yao_ziyua1> is there any easy way to clean up obsolete config files?
[09:55] <yao_ziyua1> those .* in my user directory
[09:55] <reindeer> I've executed the sudo chmod -R ( directory ) to recursively unlock all files and redefine file permissions within the drive without success.
[09:56] <reindeer> I receive an " invalid mode " message in the xterm.
[09:57] <progmano1> reindeer: try chmod -R u+rw directory (if you need other users to be able to access the files then use chmod -R ugo+rw directory)
[09:58] <reindeer> Ok. I'll give 'em a shot in the term and get back to you shortly.
[10:00] <Malique> Is there any feasible alternative to ALSA? If so, can someone please direct me to a HOWTO or something to help me replace ALSA?
[10:01] <CheGuevara> whats wrong with alsa
[10:01] <Malique> No matter what I do with it, it won't run on my card
[10:02] <Malique> https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3886 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/210865 are my bug reports with info about what's going on
[10:02] <Malique> But I seem to be the only one with this particular problem
[10:04] <Malique> And for that reason, I doubt there's gonna be a fix anytime soon, so I need to switch to something else
[10:04] <Malique> I know OSS works with my card, but I can't seem to get it set up right, and there's no up-to-date HOWTO's on getting it to run on Kubuntu
[10:06] <Malique> Any ideas?
[10:06] <|Dreams|> anyone know what the best way to protect my privacy when on the internet?
[10:10] <Malique> So how and with what can I replace ALSA?
[10:11] <twosouls82> hello
[10:11] <progmano1> |Dreams| visit grc.com and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security
[10:11] <Adapter48> ahh da isser
[10:12] <|Dreams|> thanks
[10:12] <|Dreams|> how do i check how much disk space i have left?
[10:13] <Adapter48> df -h
[10:13] <|Dreams|> thanks
[10:14] <Malique> *sigh* fine, I'll make a post in the forums, everyone's asleep here
[10:14] <|Dreams|> i read somewhere
[10:15] <|Dreams|> TOR allows peope to read ur data as it cannot exncrpyt the data between the destination and last place
[10:15] <reindeer> The commands are unable to access the drive files( no such file or directory ) each time I execute the commands provided.
[10:17] <reindeer> Oh, how I do not like WD:(
[10:18] <reindeer> Allow for me to reboot my box to see if I can, at the very least, be able to read my drive.
[10:32] <twosouls82>  /var/log/apparmor is empty on my my machines, is this normal?
[10:32] <Creationist> Could someone please suggest a good CD ripper?  I'm currently using Sound Juicer, but it only reads at a max of 4.5x....
[10:32] <twosouls82> -my
[10:33] <Dr_willis> i tend to use 'grip'
[10:33] <Dr_willis> of course mose of these tools are just front ends to the console tools
[10:38] <reindeer> I'll be confounded if a simple reboot was all the drive needed to solve one of my issues. However, I'm now back to needing to restore my rw permissions as a user, not as root.
[10:38] <yao_ziyuan> sometimes
[10:38] <yao_ziyuan> in Kate
[10:38] <yao_ziyuan> i no longer can type new chars in
[10:38] <yao_ziyuan> what can be the cause?
[10:38] <yao_ziyuan> it's not in Read Only mode
[10:39] <Creationist> Dr_willis: I'm not opposed to using the terminal if I absolutely have to.  I like the interface for Sound Juicer, but have no idea why it won't read it faster...
[10:40] <reindeer> What parent command and their oiption( s ) would I need to execute to retore the user/ group permissions to read and wrote to my external drive?
[10:40] <reindeer> options
[10:40] <Creationist> I mean, 20 minutes to rip one CD is a bit much.
[10:42] <reindeer> 5-7 minute rips are average, depending upon the drive you're using.
[10:42] <Creationist> reindeer: Right.. that's what i was expecting... but I can't find a ripper to rip at more than 4.5x.
[10:42] <Creationist> reindeer: I have a fairly new CD drive too.
[10:44] <reindeer> IDE or external?
[10:44] <algyz> Where is trash info, when I'm trying to empty it, it tels, that one file doesn't exist?
[10:45] <algyz> The file or folder /home/algimantas/.local/share/Trash/files/VTS_04_3.VOB does not exist.
[10:45] <Creationist> reindeer: It's an IDE DVD burner
[10:46] <reindeer> What's your read/ write speed for CD's in the drive?
[10:47] <Creationist> reindeer: Hmm... the actual CD's themselves, I'm not sure.... they're commercial audio albums.  But I'm pretty sure the drive reads at 52x
[10:47] <llutz> read/write speed has nothing to do with the cdda-extraction-ability.

[10:48] <steve__> anyone familiar with john the ripper
[10:49] <reindeer> 52x read is pretty nice. I'm only able to pull 48, although I purposely rip at a lower speed for a more thorough rip of the files( 40 or 44 ).
[10:50] <Creationist> reindeer: I wouldn't rip at 52x, but I definitely want more than 4.5.   K3B will automatically read your drive and will allow for you to rip 'em nicely. If you really wanna compress your files iinto .ogg( which I highly recommend ) after the rip, utilize SoundConverter for the job. the results are right on.
[10:56] <reindeer> The GUI is simple to use and a bit spartan, but that's the beauty of open source.
[10:57] <Creationist> reindeer: Hmm... K3b seems to be ripping faster, but doesn't report an actual speed.  Does it not do .ogg correctly on it's own?
[10:57] <reindeer> Hope these tips will work out for you, Creationist:)
[10:58] <reindeer> I jump into K3B, then into SoundKonverter for the ,ogg conversions.
[10:59] <Creationist> But K3b rips directly TO ogg... why convert it separately?
[10:59] <reindeer> This is true. You can trust K3B to choose the correct rip speed for your device.
[11:00]  * Creationist is totally in love with K3b... always has been but now finds yet another reason to be.  Gnome Baker my buttocks.
[11:02] <reindeer> I always allow for k3b to rip into MP3 first. You do have a point iin the name of common-sense and simplicity.
[11:07] <reindeer> Creationist, I appreciate you opening my eyes this eve. I'll give K3b another gander for more than just rippin' my files the usual mp3 way, then going externally into SoundKonverter.
[11:07] <reindeer> Thank you kindly:)
[11:08] <reindeer> When you go into K3B, there should be a pulldown menu which will allow for you to choose your rip speed.
[11:09] <KubuntuJack> can i use 4GB with 32 bit k/ubuntu ?
[11:10] <reindeer> This relatively simple tweak prior to any k3B riup/ burn should do it.
[11:11] <reindeer> You should be able to use a 4 GB DVD with 32-bit k/ubuntu.
[11:12] <reindeer> I generally use x/ubuntu 32-bit Mac 400 Mhz CPU without any latency issues re: 4 GB DVD, KubuntuJack.
[11:12] <spine55> help
[11:14] <reindeer> I'm still lookin' for a solution to a drive permission issue with my external.
[11:15] <KubuntuJack> reindeer: i'm not sure i understand your answer, let me rephrase.  Does 32bit ubuntu support 4GB RAM, or do I need 64bit ubuntu to fully access it ?
[11:19] <reindeer> I thought you meant a DVD, not physical RAM. I have 1 GB RAM in my Mac box running 32-bit x/ubuntu w/out a problem. If you're running 4GB RAM, you may want to look into the possibly installing Ubuntu Server for the memory support, although this could be considered an overkill for most users.
[11:20] <reindeer> I apologize for msiguiding/ misunderstanding your request, KubuntuJack.
[11:20] <Infecto> hello :)
[11:20] <claudio__> chi mi sa dire dove trovo la lista dei server?
[11:20] <Infecto> some guy from #kde thell me that some one can help me :)
[11:20] <reindeer> Try installing the 32-bit generic Ubuntu first, then work your way up to Server.
[11:21] <Infecto> my kded crash when i touch 2 buttons
[11:21] <Infecto> http://rafb.net/p/QPu5EJ23.html
[11:21] <KubuntuJack> reindeer: no probs man!
[11:21] <Infecto> thats backtrace
[11:21] <reindeer> Go small, then work your way up.
[11:22] <reindeer> Kewl, bro.
[11:22] <Dr_willis> Infecto,  the crash buttons?
[11:23] <Infecto> Dr_willis: its special hp pavilion buttons
[11:23] <Infecto> dvd
[11:23] <Infecto> and quickplay i think
[11:23] <Dr_willis> So you are saying the special 'multimedia' keys crash your machine.
[11:23] <Infecto> Dr_willis: yes
[11:24] <reindeer> Once you have Ubuntu 32-bit installed from the live disk, you have the choice to customize your environs any way you so choose( ie: Enlightenment, my personal fave, Gnome, and/or KDE ).
[11:24]  * Dr_willis waits for the whole roomn to echo 'dont touch that button!'
[11:24] <Dr_willis> :)
[11:24] <Infecto> Dr_willis: its not a button button :) its tocyh button :) like touch :)
[11:25] <reindeer> Hope this helps out, KubuntuJack.
[11:25] <Infecto> Dr_willis: any idea how to debug it?
[11:25] <Dr_willis> nope. :()
[11:29] <KubuntuJack> reindeer: thanks
[11:30] <reindeer> You're welcome. Have a restful eve. reindeer out.

[12:41] <GrahamA> Hello, I'm looking for a program that solves dependancie issues, I beleive it was listed on Ubuntu forums but I can't remember the name. It could automaticly solve dependancies for programs by getting packages for libraries when running a program... worked for 32/64 bit apps... any ideas?
[12:41] <GrahamA> It's cool... found it... it's called getlibs if anybody wants to know.
[12:41] <GrahamA> Epic program!
[12:41] <ere4si> I thought apt-get and synaptic did that
[12:42] <ere4si> ...
[12:44] <GrahamA> ere4si: It's for librarys like libgtk-1.2.so.0 not packages
[12:45] <ere4si> GrahamA: k - thnx :)
[12:46] <GrahamA> ere4si: np :)

[15:02] <ForsakenSoul> cannon well .. I don't know I'm a noob myself so the other way is to go to the terminal, use sudo and chmod and change the mode of the folder

[15:26] <kblin> sudo command_to_run
[15:26] <mikemm> sudo bash :P
[15:26] <kblin> or if you need a root shell, sudo -s
[15:27] <mikemm> ok, thats a bit weird compared to other pam /linux stuff im used to

[15:43] <TheGentleman> and I have no administartive privileges
[15:48] <Daisuke_Ido> TheGentleman, i can't believe that bug is still there, try alt+f2 and launching kcontrol

[15:49] <TheGentleman> just for your info...
[15:52] <TheGentleman> Daisuke_Ido: the way you suggested is even worst: when i click on Admin mode it goes back to Peripherals Menu
[15:53] <TheGentleman> With such an issue a Live CD is nearly useles!

[17:38] <SpeS> that's all
[17:38] <algyz> SpeS:  also look into /etc/fstab
[17:38] <SpeS> none of them is the one asked
[17:38] <algyz> SpeS:  sudo nano /etc/fstab
[17:38] <SpeS> algyz, oh ok I see the error what could be
[17:39] <algyz> nice
[17:39] <SpeS> I have just installed other distro in sda7
[17:39] <SpeS> so that UUID must have changed
[17:39] <algyz> btw, I'm not IT, just a mechanic ;)
[17:39] <SpeS> so I have to update fstab manually with the new one, right? :D
[17:39] <algyz> SpeS:  so seems yes
[17:39] <algyz> think that
[17:39] <SpeS> algyz, great, thanks! :)
[17:40] <algyz> you're welcome :)
[17:40] <SpeS> I didn't know blkid ^_^'

[17:47] <marcio> ola a todos
[17:47] <Nutubuntu> Alternatives to Firefox? Preferably browsers that don't crash so often?
[17:47] <DarkWizzard> Firefox 3 ?
[17:47] <DarkWizzard> Opera ?
[17:47] <DarkWizzard> Konqueror ?
[17:48] <Nutubuntu> DarkWizzard: FF3 is an improvement. Konq is too ... konqy, I guess.\
[17:48] <DarkWizzard> FF3 is beta but I love it
[17:48] <DarkWizzard> Don't remember if it ever crashed on me
[17:48] <DarkWizzard> :)
[17:48] <marcio> windows???
[17:48] <DarkWizzard> marcio: what's that ?
[17:49] <DarkWizzard> never heard of it :D
[17:49] <marcio> um sistema diferente !
[17:49] <algyz> DarkWizzard:  ff3 is crashing lots of times for me :(
[17:49] <DarkWizzard> I have the nightly build
[17:49] <algyz> !pt | marcio
[17:49] <ubotu> marcio: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[17:49] <DarkWizzard> maybe that's why
[17:50] <algyz> DarkWizzard:  I'm using 3.0b5pre, and it's crashing often :(
[17:50] <Nutubuntu> Personally I think FF2 should be on the boot menu as the official RAM test ... I can run the memory test for days on end with no errors found, but run Firefox for five minutes ? Blammo. "It's bad RAM dude."
[17:50] <DarkWizzard> :)
[17:50] <DarkWizzard> I remember that feeling
[17:50] <DarkWizzard> but FF3 is a different story
[17:50] <DarkWizzard> the memory usage has decreased drastically
[17:51] <DarkWizzard> algyz: I'm using 3.0pre
[17:52] <Nutubuntu> I *think* FF2 has problems with the dual-core AMD CPU. That's a guess though ...
[17:52] <DarkWizzard> anyway: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/03/05/webkit-demobrowser/
[17:52] <DarkWizzard> Nutubuntu: swiftfox ?
[17:52] <Nutubuntu> FF3 > Swiftfox
[17:53] <DarkWizzard> yeah but Swiftfox _should_ solve the cpu support problem
[17:53] <Nutubuntu> Except that FF3 doesn't like some of my fav add-ons
[17:53] <DarkWizzard> well
[17:53] <DarkWizzard> AFAIK none of them
[17:54] <Nutubuntu> :) that's them
[17:54] <algyz> Nutubuntu:  don't you think it's offtopic? :)
[17:54] <algyz> !offtopic | Nutubuntu
[17:54] <ubotu> Nutubuntu: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[17:55] <DarkWizzard> yeah
[17:55] <DarkWizzard> we know. But it's silent now
[17:55] <DarkWizzard> :)
[17:55] <algyz> OK, I see :)
[17:55] <Nutubuntu> No, algyz's right, my bad.
[17:55] <algyz> I think it's ok, silent here now :)
[17:56] <algyz> But #kubuntu-offtopic is even more silent :(
[17:56] <DarkWizzard> I'll set it on autojoin
[17:57] <algyz> I did it already :D
[17:59] <Nutubuntu> On-topic question. Sometimes my kubuntu desktop is much wider than my monitor -- I mouse to the right and the screen scrolls until I reach the right edge of the desktop -- and sometimes it's monitor-size. What controls this? and how do I turn it on and off?
[18:00] <BluesKaj> Nutubuntu, widescreen or reg 4:3 ?
[18:01] <Nutubuntu> BluesKaj: I think reg 4:3 -- can scroll down too (the menu thingie is w-a-a-a-y down there)
[18:02] <BluesKaj> Nutubuntu, what is your resolution set at in system settings/monitor & display
[18:02] <Nutubuntu> BluesKaj: that's the odd thing: 1280x1064
[18:02] <Nutubuntu> 1024, rather
[18:05] <BluesKaj> odd for sure
[18:06] <tuxi> hi
[18:06] <gkffjcs> I'm runnin the latest hardy beta, isn's hardy suposed to have pulsaudio as the default audio engine, I am noticing pulse in the processes list
[18:06] <Nutubuntu> BluesKaj: I recall changing res to 1024x768 for a day or two, to see if that would affect it, but no. Sometimes I login to a monitor-size desktop, and sometimes it's the Desktop As Big As The Ritz
[18:06] <tuxi> anoyne knows which module i have to load to get nat running
[18:07] <BluesKaj> Nutubuntu, what driver is the monitor using, the generic linux or custom or the hardware specific driver for your monitor ?
[18:07] <tuxi> for ip masquerading
[18:09] <Nutubuntu> BluesKaj: generic driver "Plug n Play"
[18:09] <llutz> tuxi: http://linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/a/ubusg18t03.htm
[18:11] <tuxi> well but

[18:13] <BluesKaj> Nutubuntu, have you tried finding linux drivers for your monitor in the system settings/monitor&appearance/hardware/admin mode/monitor/configure
[18:16] <llutz> tuxi: -t nat    not net
[18:16] <tuxi> -_- thanks ...
[18:17] <Nutubuntu> BluesKaj: Your question got me to do that - I thought I had done it before, but obviously not. Need to restart X now ... Back later - thanks!
[18:28] <Piero_Scaruffi> Hello, how can i install/use adium message styles in kopete 3.5.8 i asked in #kopete(waited for nearly 2 hours) googled myself couldnt find out how so now i am asking here as ultimum remedium
[18:28] <Piero_Scaruffi> ??
[18:31] <fdoving> Piero_Scaruffi: don't know. but i could try. where do i find adium styles?
[18:36] <Piero_Scaruffi> adiumxtras.com
[18:37] <fdoving> Piero_Scaruffi: download the .zip file with the theme. save it somewhere. open kopete go to  settings -> configure -> chat window -> style {tab} -> select the 'Install..' button -> browse to the adiumstyle.zip-file, select it and hit OK.
[18:37] <fdoving> then it should say "success" or something.
[18:38] <fdoving> worked nicely for me. but i use the svn version of kopete. not sure it matters. hang on i'll test the regular one.
[18:38] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok ty
[18:38] <Piero_Scaruffi> i am using 3.5.8
[18:39] <fdoving> ok. it works in 3.5.8 too.
[18:39] <fdoving> settings -> configure -> appearance -> chat window {tab} -> Install.. button. and so on.
[18:40] <Piero_Scaruffi> The specified archive does not contain a valid Chat Window style. < thats what i get
[18:41] <fdoving> ok, then download some other teheme.
[18:41] <fdoving> it worked for me..
[18:41] <Piero_Scaruffi> you have the svn
[18:41] <fdoving> so the way you do it is the correct one.
[18:41] <Piero_Scaruffi> i dont
[18:41] <fdoving> i also verified that it works with 3.5.8
[18:41] <fdoving> i installed this http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=2463
[18:47] <Piero_Scaruffi> ok some work some dont thanks for your help
[18:47] <Mr_Sonoma> anyone seen a problem with the cups wrapper dropping for a lack of better term when someone attempts to print from another computer? basically what happens is......when i view the printers in cups BEFORE the vista machine tries to print it shows connected and ready, prints every time from my machine (the host) then AFTER the vista machine attempts a print the printer shows as "disconnected" in cups and will que but not print ANYTHING from
[18:47] <Mr_Sonoma> either machine.
[18:47] <Mr_Sonoma> suggestions?

[18:51] <Fritzel> I have an odd occurrance, it seems whenever I run a program in a console it generates pratically no cpu usage, as it should, but if I run it behind the scenes in any form that isn't visible it eats up 100%+ cpu usage, does anyone know how I can diagnose this?
[18:51] <tuxi> anyone has an xorg.conf where nvidia tvout is working?
[18:52] <tuxi> i tried a lot tutorials and none worked yet

[19:25] <patoe1> erg
[19:26] <BlackAura> Okay..........minor, small problem doing a dist-upgrade
[19:26] <patoe1> i cant get my emrald back again :(
[19:26] <BlackAura> I was running dapper, read that I have to upgrade through edgy to get to feisty.....
[19:27] <patoe1> does anyone know why "Emrald --replace" isnt working for me?
[19:27] <BlackAura> changed the sources.list, did an apt-get update, then a dist-upgrade, and it failed with about 20-30 packages left to download
[19:28] <Fritzel> how can I change the ownership of vt's 8 and 9 to a specific user?
[19:28] <fdoving> patoe1: could it be that you are looking for 'compiz --replace' and then run 'emerald &'
[19:28] <patoe1> maybe...
[19:28] <Fritzel> patoe1: also it's lower case
[19:30] <fdoving> Fritzel: what do you want to do in that vt? seen the 'openvt' command?
[19:30] <Fritzel> yes I have but I am getting access denied
[19:30] <Fritzel> and I want to run an application there that requires a terminal to keep from using 100% cpu usage
[19:31] <Fritzel> normally I'd ask the developers, but they're channel is far from useful
[19:31] <fdoving> Fritzel: have you tried running it inside a screen?
[19:31] <Fritzel> hmm no I haven't
[19:31] <fdoving> might work.
[19:32] <algyz> !upgrade | BlackAura
[19:32] <ubotu> BlackAura: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:32] <Fritzel> I'll tinker with that thanks for the suggetsion
[19:33] <BlackAura> algyz: heh, yep, checking those right now.......I figured out what the problem is.  I'm getting a bunch of errors at the end of the download: Basically:  Failed to fetch <file>.deb   Size mismatch
[19:33] <Fritzel> fdoving: ok that's odd ... now I says it can't open the terminal I'm using ><
[19:34] <fdoving> Fritzel: which app is this?
[19:34] <BlackAura> algyz: at which point it recommended I run apt-get install -f.....which started installing them, and so now I have a half installed system
[19:34] <algyz> BlackAura:  google for sources list
[19:34] <Fritzel> it's an mmo server, not something that's supported
[19:34] <algyz> BlackAura:  just run it
[19:35] <BlackAura> algyz: I did, but now it is giving me a bunch of koffice dependancy errors
[19:35] <BlackAura> algyz: because some of the packages didn't download, so they couldn't be installed
[19:35] <algyz> run again :)
[19:35] <BlackAura> I'll grab the latest edgy sources.list, thanks!
[19:36] <algyz> BlackAura:  also remember, there's aptitude, it is solving dependencies better
[19:36] <algyz> BlackAura:  sudo aptitude install -f, try this
[19:36] <BlackAura> yeah, I'm more of a command line person myself, but I think when I do edgy -> feisty, I'll do that
[19:37] <BlackAura> oh, cool, sorry, thought it was a graphical package manager......
[19:37] <Fritzel> fdoving: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/tty1' - please check.
[19:37] <Fritzel> fdoving: any clue?
[19:37] <Fritzel> fdoving: that's running from tty1 attempting to open tty9
[19:38] <Fritzel> fdoving: inside screen
[19:42] <beast> hello,
[19:43] <Fritzel> well I got it to work but it's running as root which I don't want
[19:46] <Fritzel> took some ugly working but I found a solution ugly as it is, "sudo openvt -c 9 -f -- sudo -u ascent auto_start"
[19:47] <Fritzel> and it successfully doesn't eat up everything I've got now ^^ yay
[19:52] <linus_> hi what is the command line arg for installing tar.gz files
[19:52] <DrNoboto> intalling them?
[19:52] <linus_> yeah im a nube
[19:52] <DrNoboto> that depends
[19:52] <linus_> if the file is downloaded on the desktop
[19:52] <DrNoboto> read the installation directions for the particular thing you're trying to install
[19:53] <algyz> linus_:  it's tar :)
[19:53] <DrNoboto> tar will extract them
[19:53] <DrNoboto> that's not the same thing as install
[19:53] <algyz> Agree
[19:53] <DrNoboto> maybe that's what he means though
[19:53] <algyz> linus_:  It's written in readme file
[19:54] <linus_> right
[19:54] <linus_> how do i get flash from the command line
[19:54] <algyz> linus_:  is it mounted?
[19:54] <linus_> mounted?!
[19:55] <DrNoboto> you want to access your flash drive?
[19:55] <algyz> linus_:  or adobe flash?
[19:55] <linus_> no a flash pluging for the web
[19:55] <linus_> yep
[19:55] <algyz> Ah, ok :)
[19:55] <DrNoboto> ah, you need to install the browser plugin
[19:55] <algyz> linus_:  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[19:56] <DrNoboto> so i figured out a little bit more why my /usr directory tree is empty
[19:56] <DrNoboto> it's failing to mount on boot
[19:57] <DrNoboto> when i try to mount it manually i get a "operation not permitted"
[19:57] <alx75775> hi! little prob here, i formatted a hdd, mounted it but still cannot write on it.. anyone an idea how to solve this? thanks!
[19:58] <DrNoboto> my other reiserfs partitions are already mounted so it doesn't seem to be a problem with support for the filesystem itself
[19:59] <alx75775> the konsole says "according to mtab" its already mounted
[19:59] <DrNoboto> when i try to reiserfsck the partition it just returns me to a command prompt
[19:59] <algyz> alx75775:  sudo fdisk -l
[19:59] <DrNoboto> without much information
[19:59] <alx75775> thx algyz , ill check it out
[19:59] <DrNoboto> this particularly sucks because it means /usr/bin is gone too
[19:59] <linus_> ok i have tried that but on the kubuntu install, it did not give me an option a p/w for the root account so when i try su i have no password
[19:59] <DrNoboto> so i have no apt, no pico, no whereis, etc...
[19:59] <BlackAura> algyz: Thanks for the help!  Fixed my sources.list and it seems to be downloading them all now :d
[19:59] <algyz> :)
[20:00] <BlackAura> algyz: Took a while because somewhere it suggested an apt-get clean, which deleted all the ones I had downloaded already :s
[20:03] <linus_> ok i have tried that but on the kubuntu install, it did not give me an option a p/w for the root account so when i try su i have no password
[20:03] <DrNoboto> sudo
[20:03] <DrNoboto> not su
[20:04] <BlackAura> if you really need a root prompt, do  $ sudo -i
[20:04] <holycow> hey guys
[20:04] <DrNoboto> i'm gonna take some pictures of the errors i get from mount and fsck
[20:04] <DrNoboto> brb
[20:04] <holycow> what happened to the kde4 wallpapers?
[20:04] <holycow> after the recent dist upgrade in kde4 we got the fugly kde3 wallpapers and the beautiful ones dissapeared
[20:04] <holycow> what gives?
[20:05] <Venson> Hey all. I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 and having issues with sound (slow, with lots of static). My soundcard is Ensoniq 1371. Many weeks of googling and recompiling of alsa drivers has proven fruitless. Can someone help?
[20:05] <epimeth> Venson: try #alsa
[20:06] <Venson> epimeth: will do, thanks
[20:06] <epimeth> Venson: they helped me out when I had problems
[20:06] <Venson> epimeth: good to know. i'm heading there right now :)
[20:06] <linus_> sudo looks for  a password which is the root
[20:07] <epimeth> linus_: no, it is asking for *your* password
[20:07] <alx75775> algyz, i just found out that -l just lists it.. =)

[20:16] <alx75775> i am worrying about hdd1
[20:16] <BlackAura> is there an installed package list somewhere I can mess around with?
[20:16] <algyz> alx75775:  I'm not common with this, try http://www.google.lt/search?hl=lt&q=%2Fdev%2Fhdc1+on+%2F+type+ext3+(rw%2Cerrors%3Dremount-ro)+&btnG=Google+Paie%C5%A1ka&meta=
[20:16] <Venson> Anybody have an Ensoniq 1371 soundcard and get it to work in Kubuntu?
[20:17] <ronnie> hi all = )
[20:17] <alx75775> thanks algyz, have a nice day -- cya
[20:18] <Venson> hey guys..."cat /proc/interrupts" returns a line that says " 16:       6336   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb1, Ensoniq AudioPCI"  .... Is this normal?
[20:18] <simulous> I Set up unbuntu on a virtual machine on my laptop and was able to play avi movies from over my network from a windows server 2003 file share which i played using VLC. It worked no problem but i got board with Gnome and wanted KDE so i set up Kubuntu... but now when i try to do the same thing (stream avi's from my server 2k3 box) on kubuntu it firsts copy's the file, then plays it and doesnt stream and i cant figure out why :o(
[20:19] <algyz> alx75775:  are you from denmark?
[20:19] <simulous> pleeeeeeease help me with this, im new to linux and its breakin me down :o(
[20:19] <Nyad> algyz: I meant where can I find these ubotu commands that you are typing
[20:20] <algyz> Nyad:  just type ! before any command
[20:20] <alx75775> no germany
[20:20] <alx75775> 09
[20:20] <algyz> Ok :)
[20:20] <Venson> simulous: just mount the network share to your local system (using Samba, say) and play.  That's probably the best way to do this
[20:20] <Nyad> yes but isn't there a page that has all of the commands that are available
[20:20] <Nyad> !ubotu
[20:20] <algyz> It is
[20:20] <Nyad> !ubotu Nyad
[20:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nyad - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:20] <algyz> !help
[20:20] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[20:20] <algyz> I found :D
[20:20] <Nyad> tnx
[20:20] <algyz> ;)
[20:21] <simulous> Venson thanks i will try, i even tried the open with "vlc" option but still it copies it.
[20:21] <Venson> simulous: if you do it my way, it will no longer copy
[20:22] <Venson> simulous: once you map the share, it's like an extension of your local system. the program can't tell the difference
[20:22] <simulous> :o) thank you, will let you know
[20:22] <DrNoboto> where can i find help with reiserfsck?
[20:23] <algyz> !reiserfs
[20:23] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html
[20:23] <DrNoboto> increasing likelihood of data loss.....
[20:23] <DrNoboto> nice.
[20:23] <ronnie> my video cards an old nvidia-tnt2, I'm considering buying a geforce4 mx440 64mbddr tvout 8x agp, is this a much better card & is it compatible with kubuntu?
[20:23] <algyz> DrNoboto:  maybe try in channel suse or opensuse, they like reiser ;)
[20:23] <DrNoboto> k, thanks : )
[20:24] <Venson> Hey guys, I see two things registered on the same interrupt on my machine (specifically "uhci_hcd:usb1, Ensoniq AudioPCI") which i think might be the reason for my issues with sound. How do i change "Ensoniq AudioPCI" to use a different interrupt?
[20:24] <algyz> ronnie:  nvidia's are cool, believe me :)
[20:25] <algyz> !sound | Venson
[20:25] <ubotu> Venson: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[20:27] <ronnie> thx algyz, but this nvidia tnt2 card can't seem to handle too much on the screen at once, when I play tremulos =)
[20:27] <algyz> ronnie:  probably it's too slow for tremulous?
[20:28] <algyz> ronnie:  well, my gf 6200 running like a wind in tremulous :D
[20:29] <DrNoboto> algyz, you live in lithuania?
[20:29] <algyz> yes
[20:29] <DrNoboto> cool
[20:29] <algyz> very cool :D
[20:29] <DrNoboto> i was in vilnius once
[20:30] <ronnie> k, umm so is the geforce4 mx440 faster than my nvidia one, tnt2?, maybe i should get it?
[20:30] <algyz> I was more times, like 20 :D
[20:30] <DrNoboto> : )
[20:30] <algyz> ronnie:  think you should
[20:30] <DrNoboto> i'd like to live there someday, like when i retire or something
[20:30] <ronnie> k ty much = )
[20:31] <ronnie> can't go wrong for 20 bucks hehe
[20:31] <algyz> DrNoboto:  it's cold and dark here :|
[20:31] <DrNoboto> well, i used to live in central finland
[20:31] <chantalall> bonsoir
[20:31] <DrNoboto> can't be that cold and dark
[20:32] <algyz> !fr | chantalall
[20:32] <ubotu> chantalall: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[20:32] <DrNoboto> : ]
[20:32] <chantalall> so i'll speak english ;)
[20:32] <algyz> Central Finland is something very very northern :|
[20:33] <AngryBacon> is there a different channel for hardy?
[20:33] <Jucato> AngryBacon: #ubuntu+1
[20:33] <zorglu_> q. is there a tool to easily resize an image ?
[20:33] <algyz> zorglu_:  gimp
[20:33] <chantalall> i'm using Kubuntu for 2 weeks and it's great but i have some problems with my printer
[20:33] <zorglu_> algyz: notice that i asked 'easily' :)))
[20:34] <algyz> zorglu_:  it's very easy
[20:34] <AngryBacon> Jucato: is that for kubuntu tooZ
[20:34] <Jucato> zorglu_: Digikam has a built-in image editor
[20:34] <Jucato> AngryBacon: yeszz
[20:34] <Jucato> er, I meant yesZ
[20:34] <fdoving> zorglu_: i do that on the commandline with the imagemagick tool 'convert'
[20:34]  * AngryBacon is trying to learn dvorak, lol
[20:35] <algyz> zorglu_:  just find image>scale, just it
[20:35]  * Jucato waves at fdoving surfer dude :)
[20:35] <chantalall> my printer an epson Stylus Color 900, works perfectly with gutemprint and cups (Cf linuxprinting) but i don't find the 900 in the CUPS' list
[20:35]  * fdoving waves back at jucato.
[20:35] <chantalall> there is the 900 but not the 900
[20:35] <zorglu_> Jucato: ok... but apparently it is willing to polute my harddrive in ~/pictures or something
[20:35] <fdoving> brb, kid woke up.
[20:35] <chantalall> gutenprint is installed (with apt)
[20:35] <zorglu_> fdoving: ok will look
[20:36] <chantalall> "there is the 800 but not the 900" *
[20:36] <Jucato> zorglu_: ah Digikam needs to create a database for its collection, much like Amarok. it defaults to ~/Pictures unless you set it
[20:36] <Jucato> (though there might be a way to launch only the editor...)
[20:37] <zorglu_> Jucato: do you know how much polution it put ? is it tolerable ?
[20:37] <zorglu_> because convert has no man page
[20:38] <Jucato> zorglu_: actually it doesn't put any pollution
[20:38] <zorglu_> Jucato: ok i clicked ok then :)
[20:38] <Jucato> you recall in Amarok that you need to point it to some directories to search for files to add to its Collection?
[20:38] <zorglu_> Jucato: i failed to understand amarok up to now :)
[20:38] <Jucato> hehe ok. bad analogy then :P
[20:39] <Jucato> basically it just needs a folder (just one) for which it wil use as a source for its image collection
[20:39] <zorglu_> Jucato: seems like a good one :) nothing about image in digikam, they talk about 'album'
[20:39] <kazio_> jacyś polacy?
[20:40] <Jucato> image/album/whatlever :)
[20:40] <Jucato> !pl | kazio_
[20:40] <ubotu> kazio_: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[20:40] <zorglu_> rm -rf Pictures/ <- it does feel good tho :)
[20:40] <Jucato> heh
[20:41] <zorglu_> convert rose.jpg -resize 50% rose.png <- from google man page :)
[20:41] <piqoni> hey, this channel is only for kubuntu or even for Ubuntu?
[20:41] <Jucato> for Kubuntu only
[20:41] <AngryBacon> how do i change the keymapZ
[20:41] <piqoni> thnx for the answer
[20:42] <snowolf> piqoni: there's #ubuntu for ubuntu :)
[20:42] <piqoni> how can I open that one for ubuntu
[20:42] <piqoni> yeah, how can I open that
[20:42] <piqoni> ??
[20:42] <GrueTamer> do /join #ubuntu
[20:42] <jack_spratt> try clicking on that link
[20:42] <AngryBacon>    /join
[20:42] <piqoni> thnx man
[20:46] <DrNoboto> ok, i'm rebooting to do a reiserfsck --rebuild tree
[20:46] <DrNoboto> wish me luck
[20:46] <Roey> good luck

[20:48] <zorglu_> and yop, i uploaded a picture in my blog :)
[20:48]  * zorglu_ starts to love web2.0 :)
[20:51] <epimeth> zorglu_: what about it?
[20:52] <epimeth> zorglu_: the innane videos?  The 10 minutes it takes to load a site if you have anything less than a 10mbps connection?
[20:52] <zorglu_> epimeth: im discovering the thing, and it has interesting toys :) im doing igoogle/blog/microblog/linkedin etc... ;)
[20:52] <zorglu_> epimeth: nah the video is the only thing i get on the internet :)
[20:52] <epimeth> zorglu_: oh... so the community, not the technology.  In that case, cool :-)
[20:53] <epimeth> zorglu_: I hate that its called "web 2.0"
[20:53] <zorglu_> :)
[20:53] <epimeth> zorglu_: the first time I saw it, I threw up a little in my mouth :-/
[20:54] <zorglu_> epimeth: :) the stuff i do in video start with web4 :)))
[20:54] <epimeth> zorglu_: this really should be discussed in #kubuntu-offtopic tho :-)
[20:54] <zorglu_> ok :)
[21:07]  * Signil is away: Gone away for now.
[21:12] <LjL> !away > Signil    (Signil, see the private message from Ubotu)
[21:13] <DrNoboto> hrmm
[21:13] <DrNoboto> fail.
[21:13] <DrNoboto> how can i install apt without apt?
[21:14] <Nyad> DrNoboto:  did it break and now you want to fix it? or you just don't have apt
[21:15] <DrNoboto> my entire /usr partition got junked
[21:15] <DrNoboto> including /usr/bin, etc
[21:16] <DrNoboto> reiserfsck did a good job of recovering the _files_ in the partition, it just placed them all in thousands of directories with numerical names
[21:17] <DrNoboto> so i don't have even basic tools like whereis, apt, pico, etc...
[21:18] <DrNoboto> if i can get apt, i can maybe get somewhere
[21:19] <GrueTamer> uh, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/base/apt
[21:19] <GrueTamer> try that
[21:19] <DrNoboto> what do i use to install that package though?
[21:20] <GrueTamer> dpkg i believe
[21:20] <DrNoboto> is that typically in /usr or /bin?
[21:22] <DrNoboto> guess i'll find out
[21:22] <DrNoboto> brb
[21:31] <simulous> hey, who was it who was giving me advice regarding streaming media from a 2k3 server to kubuntu?
[21:36] <DrNoboto> looks like dpkg was in /usr
[21:37] <DrNoboto> so the challenge of the day is how to install a package manager using only the tools in /bin
[21:37] <DrNoboto> and possibly a cd : P

[22:34] <Odd-rationale> sourcemaker: it is possible to use tor with a irc client, but freenode will refuse your connection if you are using tor.
