[00:24] <_gtt_> nosrednaekim: lshw got me close enough i was able to figure it out. thanks.
[00:25] <chika> hi everybody!
[00:25] <chika> i have a problem with Flash player in linux.....
[00:26] <chika> have any idea....what to do
[00:26] <jckl> !flash
[00:26] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[00:26] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[00:27] <nosrednaekim> theperryfamily: ahhh... I can't find that anywhere! I know its in there somewhere though
[00:27] <jckl> i was looking at emerald and set a theme but now i want it how it was before.. how do i disable emerald
[00:27] <sub[t]rnl> autoplay?
[00:28] <sub[t]rnl> theperryfamily➜ kcontrol -> peripherals -> Storage Media maybe
[00:28] <theperryfamily> sub[t]rnl: tried that...lol
[00:29] <eric_> has anyone had any issue with kaffeine stop working for no apparent reason?
[00:29] <theperryfamily> nosrednaekim: I've found all kinds of documentation on how to turn it off...but nothing on how to turn it back on
[00:29] <sub[t]rnl> hrm
[00:29] <sub[t]rnl> !info ivman
[00:29] <ubotu> ivman (source: ivman): daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.14-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 60 kB, installed size 284 kB
[00:30] <theperryfamily> my mom turned it off on accident on her desktop and expected me to have some 2 second fix for it...lol
[00:32] <thechris> I need install help for installing from linux
[00:32] <thechris> i've followed the docs, but get stuck when booting
[00:32] <nosrednaekim> thechris: ok.... where are you confused?
[00:32] <thechris> after the usb mouse is detected, the system hangs
[00:32] <nosrednaekim> thechris: booting the liveCD?
[00:32] <thechris> but only for the 64 bit kernel
[00:32] <thechris> yes, the liveCD, but on a HDD
[00:33] <nosrednaekim> thechris: so you installed from the liveCD?
[00:33] <bascule> theperryfamily: your mom has told hald to do nothing all the time :)
[00:34] <thechris> nosrednaekim: sorta
[00:34] <thechris> i had an install of 32b kubunutu and wanted to install 64b.
[00:34] <eric_> anyone no how to repair kaffeine?
[00:34] <nosrednaekim> thechris: sorta?
[00:35] <thechris> my CD rom doesn't work, nor do i have extra CDRs
[00:35] <nosrednaekim> thechris: ah..... so how did you install?
[00:35] <thechris> so i used the "install from linux" instructions to place the livecd image on a partition and use grub to boot it
[00:35] <thechris> I had the 32b image on the partition originally, but wanted the 64b image
[00:35] <IceDraVen> Hey :) Got my kbuntu install but having 3 very annoying errors, if anyone got 5minute to help me out please send a pm
[00:36] <thechris> so i placed the 64b image on and now the kernel for the livecd image won't boot
[00:36] <nosrednaekim> IceDraVen: just say them here where anyone can see them
[00:37] <nosrednaekim> thechris: are you sure you have a 64 bit computer?
[00:37] <theperryfamily> bascule: exactly...she hates ms and I introduced her to kubuntu and she loves it...but we're still getting her over the learning curve
[00:37] <thechris> nosrednaekim: yes
[00:37] <nosrednaekim> thechris: did the 32 bit version work?
[00:37] <IceDraVen> kk - First Issue is i cant access files on the locale network (partner on winxp), 2nd is cant access msn via Kopete & the third is cant access cd-rom/dvd drive
[00:37] <thechris> nosrednaekim: the livecd booted, yes
[00:38] <nosrednaekim> IceDraVen: to fix the second, run
[00:38] <nosrednaekim> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[00:38] <thechris> right now i'm guessing there is an issue with USB in the 64b kernel
[00:38] <nosrednaekim> thechris: then I would suggest just using 32 bit. If you don't have over 3.5 GB of ram there will beno performance difference anyway
[00:38] <IceDraVen> will try now 2moments
[00:39] <thechris> nosrednaekim: i have 8G ram
[00:39] <nosrednaekim> thechris: and no working cd drive? ROFL...
[00:39] <nosrednaekim> thechris: ok :)
[00:39] <thechris> well, i have a working cd drive now, but no cdrs
[00:39] <thechris> I just got this computer
[00:39] <thechris> and my previous one's CD drive didn't work
[00:40] <thechris> so i used the install from linux feature
[00:40] <IceDraVen> sudo apt command not found :S
[00:41] <thechris> when i got the new computer, i just moved the old drive to the new box.  now i'm trying to put a 64b OS onto the new comp so i can move the HDD back to the old box
[00:41] <mixed> anyone know how to change the default size of windows?
[00:41] <nosrednaekim> thechris: ah.... I see...
[00:43] <nosrednaekim> IceDraVen: there is a dash after apt....
[00:43] <IceDraVen> is it apt- get or apt -get
[00:44] <flipstar> apt-get
[00:44] <flipstar> without a space
[00:45] <IceDraVen> Unable to lock list directory
[00:45] <flipstar> yes it is called "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[00:45] <nosrednaekim> thechris: do you have an PS2 mice?
[00:45] <bascule> !aptfix | IceDraVen
[00:46] <ubotu> IceDraVen: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[00:46] <thechris> nosrednaekim: no, usb mouse, ps2 kbd
[00:46] <nosrednaekim> thechris: but could you try a ps2 mouse to see if that was hte problem for sure?
[00:47] <akee> i'm having trouble correctly configuring my timezone
[00:47] <mixed> tekteen, you're still there?
[00:47] <akee> running "date" displays the date/time in terms of UTC
[00:47] <thechris> nosrednaekim: i don't think i have a ps2 mouse
[00:48] <akee> and for some reason i am unable to change the /etc/localtime link
[00:48] <nosrednaekim> thechris: ah... ok
[00:48] <flipstar> !seen teekteen
[00:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen teekteen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:49] <flipstar> hm
[00:49] <nosrednaekim> thechris: well, if you think it really is a kernel error... try booting with no mouse at alland see if that work
[00:49] <articpenguin3800> does adept need to be ported to kde4?
[00:50] <IceDraVen> do i need to reboot for it to kickin?
[00:50] <mixed> anyone know if Logitech rumblepad is supported in ubuntu?
[00:50] <articpenguin3800> !adept
[00:50] <nosrednaekim> mixed: yes, it is
[00:50] <ubotu> adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto
[00:51] <zenix_> hwclock --utc
[00:51] <nosrednaekim> IceDraVen: probably only log out
[00:51] <IceDraVen> will do brb
[00:51] <IceDraVen> then 2more errors to fix lol
[00:51] <mixed> nosrednaekim, by any chance, do you know how to configure it?
[00:52] <shenthil> hi all, i hv installed kde 4. but when i login i still see kde 3.5.8
[00:52] <nosrednaekim> mixed: kcontrol->mouse and keyboard->joystick
[00:52] <shenthil> how do i use kde 4
[00:52] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: did you select kde4 from the session dialog in the login manager?
[00:52] <cpk1_> ok so possible reasons this blade that I found lying around is randomly restarting? I dont think it is heat
[00:54] <shenthil> hi nosrednaekim: i don't see one in hte login manager
[00:54] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: i am using kubuntu
[00:54] <IceDraven> Ok that can half my contacts.. but none avaliable to talk to :S
[00:54] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: its a little menu-list looking button
[00:55] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: did you log in?
[00:55] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: yeah - i saw that. but it simply says kde - doesn't say as kde 4
[00:55] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: there isn't a kde4 option?
[00:55] <shenthil> nope.. i don't see one
[00:55] <IceDraven> yeah :P
[00:56] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: hmph, did you follow the official guide?
[00:56] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: maybe none of your freinds are around?
[00:56] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: somewhere i read of installing the kde 4 libs.. and i followed that.
[00:57] <IceDraven> can see them on my other machines list - kdewallet error though says pass aint right but i know it is :S
[00:57] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: i am new to linux... am not a tech savvy yet.
[00:57] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: could you give me a link to the tutorial?
[00:57] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: its ok :)
[00:57] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: sorry, i don't remember that now.. its a long time since i installed the libs.
[00:57] <flipstar> IceDraven: i think kwallet wants the master passwd..
[00:58] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: oh, thats the kwallet password, not the MSN password (kwallet will store all your passwords for you)
[00:58] <flipstar> right
[00:58] <nosrednaekim> !kde4 | shenthil, well, follow this offical guide
[00:58] <ubotu> shenthil, well, follow this offical guide: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[00:59] <IceDraven> the root passwordw as denied...i'll try gaim instead
[00:59] <IceDraven> but the cdrom & local network errors are still here.. any thoughts?
[00:59] <shenthil> nosrednaekim:  it simply says "install kde4-core" in point # 3, i am not sure how to do that
[01:00] <flipstar> just use adept-manager, shenthil or the konsole
[01:00] <shenthil> nosrednaekim:  are you in #kubuntu-kde4 too?
[01:00] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: "sudo apt-get install kde4-core"
[01:00] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: yes
[01:00] <shenthil> nosrednaekim:  wow.. thats sounds easy... thanks everyone.. :-)
[01:00] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: it will be called pidgin FYI
[01:00] <shenthil> i started loving linux
[01:00] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: did you add the repository though?
[01:01] <IceDraven> yeah just keep calling it gaim (no idea why :P)
[01:01] <shenthil> nosrednaekim: i think yes.. not sure thou'. still, i know how to do that
[01:01] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: ok.. for the cd error... this might be harder...
[01:01] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: ok
[01:02] <mixed> nosrednaekim  "Kcontro"?  Where is it? I can't find it
 thanks a lot for ur help
[01:02] <IceDraven> harder is ok but i need it working (backed all my work up their & its got no burner :P)
[01:02] <nosrednaekim> mixed: kcontrol.... its not in the menu though
[01:02] <mixed> ok so how can I access kcontrol?  through the terminal?
[01:03] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: where do you have your data backed up to?
[01:03] <nosrednaekim> mixed: yes
[01:03] <Goop2> it is in the menu actually.. under 'System' I think
[01:03] <IceDraven> partners shared doc's
[01:04] <Goop2> no.. sorry, I was thinking ksysguard
[01:04] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: oh.. not the cds?
[01:04] <JohnFlux> go ksysguard!
[01:04] <IceDraven> nah the cd's have some large apps on
[01:05] <mixed> nosrednaekim, thanks, i just callibrated it, lets see if it worked
[01:05] <IceDraven> root@ice:/home/ice# apt-get install linneighborhood < will that fix my fileshare issue?
[01:05] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: ah.. well lets do the CDs first.
[01:05] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: maybe... maybe not.....
[01:05] <PhilGold> Hey guys, this where I can get some help getting my kubuntu install to function anywhere near properly?
[01:06] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: if its not functioning... yes :)
[01:06] <mixed> nosrednaekim,  how do I make the joystick work with games already installed like supertux?
[01:06] <mixed> PhilGold, yes, just ask away
[01:06] <nosrednaekim> mixed: it might not support a joystick
[01:07] <nosrednaekim> IceDraven: first of all... insert a CD, open konqueror and put "media:/" into the location bar
[01:07] <PhilGold> Awesome.  I just did a full install from the alternate install files (burned to disk, booted, followed directions).  The GUI will not come up, but I rebooted using the recovery option, and am stuck at the text prompt.  I've tried running the konsole command, but I get a 'cannot connect to X server' message.
[01:07] <mixed> nosrednaekim, so I have to find a game that's supported by the joystick?  what a killer! LoL this really sucks cack, there's no point testing quake 3 with it then
[01:08] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: ok. try running "startx"
[01:08] <nosrednaekim> mixed: try using bzflag or gl-117, both great free games that support it
[01:08] <flipstar> mixed: try http://www.getdeb.net/app/FlightGear
[01:09] <mixed> nosrednaekim, I will do that, I supposed asking for a game that was supported for a joystick was too much to ask LoL  thanks, let me install those gamez
[01:09] <Goop2> when I try to launch X it says it can't find a screen
[01:10] <nosrednaekim> Goop2: did it work previously?
[01:10] <Goop2> yes
[01:10] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim>: i added the repo. i am still getting "couldn't find package kde4-core "
[01:10] <PhilGold> nosred, is that for me?
[01:10] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: run "sudo apt-get update"
[01:10] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: if it starts with your name, yes :)
[01:11] <Goop2> nosrednaekim: I had it working, but I uninstalled the glx driver to install the official nVidia driver
[01:11] <nosrednaekim> Goop2: ah... ok, run
[01:11] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim>: it is downloading something... i think it is updating
[01:11] <flipstar> Goop2: just run nvidia-xconfig
[01:12] <nosrednaekim> Goop2: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:12] <PhilGold> sorry, lagged.  running startx now
[01:12] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim> : would it remove kdebase-bin-kde3?
[01:12] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: it will probably error out..
[01:12] <flipstar> shenthil: no it wont
[01:12] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: its installing a more kde4 freindly verson of kde3 libs
[01:12] <Goop2> I couldn't get the drivers to install.. it said something about not having the kernal source
[01:12] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim>: it said so...
[01:12] <PhilGold> i have a solid black screen now, doesn't sound like the HD is spinning.
[01:12] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim>: still am gonna try
[01:13] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: ok... try "ctrl+alt+f1" or f2
[01:13] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim>: it is now saying: some packages cannot be authenticated. is it ok?
[01:13] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: thats fine and normal
[01:13] <PhilGold> no response from either.
[01:13] <shenthil>  <nosrednaekim> : :-) it iis downloading
[01:13] <flipstar> Goop2: while nvidia driver install ?
[01:13] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: try "ctrl+alt+backspace"
[01:14] <ice_> sorry net cut off
[01:14] <PhilGold> no response.
[01:14] <nosrednaekim> Goop2: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[01:14] <Goop2> flipstar: yes. It said it couldn't install because of it
[01:14] <Ice-DraVen> sorry about that net went out
[01:15] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: Ice-DraVenNP..... did you do that?
[01:15] <nosrednaekim> (with the cd and media:/)
[01:15] <Ice-DraVen> didnt get any messages since i said sounds like a good idea
[01:15] <Goop2> nosrednaekim: thanks. I'll write this stuff down
[01:16] <PhilG> cntrl+alt+backspace, yes.  No response.
[01:16] <PhilG> Sorry, I seem to be lagging a bit here.

[01:18] <nosrednaekim> PhilG: try pressing "alt+sysrq+e"
[01:19] <shenthil> nosred: should i be installing xserver-xephyr too?
[01:19] <PhilG> no response, but it's a laptop, sysrq is a secondary function of delete, and requires a fn key to be pressed at the same time.
[01:20] <nosrednaekim> mmm ok
[01:20] <nosrednaekim> shenthil: no..t hats not neccesary
 i got an error !!! it said, "error were encountered while processing"
[01:22] <flipstar> did you removed the old kde4 packages before ?
[01:22] <nosrednaekim> PhilG: what laptop exactly is it?

[01:25] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
 i think i screwed it up... am not sure what is happening here.

[01:38] <PhilGold> HP Pavilion dv6000.  Amd turion 64 (single core), 512 mb ram, nvidia go 6150 chipset/graphics with 128mb vid ram (shared system ram)
[01:39] <PhilGold> have kubuntu OS installed on a 10g partition, with another 1g partition for swap.  WinXP (OS that came with the laptop) is on it's own partition.
[01:41] <Ice-DraVen> FSDevice has no dev=...entry :S
[01:42] <flipstar> PhilGold: you now have the command prompt in front of you ?
[01:45] <PhilGold> test
[01:47] <rhino7> i've got some good black dvds rws but it's not reading do you know if i should return them to the store? is it driver problem? i broke them from package
[01:48] <PhilGold> i have command prompt now
[01:48] <PhilGold> sorry for delays, I've never seen irc lag like this.
[01:48] <PhilGold> everything is showing up in batches every few minutes.
[01:48] <flipstar> okay now type init 3
[01:48] <flipstar> and then X
[01:48] <PhilGold> init 3 x
[01:49] <PhilGold> or init 3 <enter> x <enter>
[01:49] <snarkster> can we make links in pdfs that work or do we need adobe acrobat to do that?
[01:49] <flipstar> init 3 <enter>
[01:49] <PhilGold> k
[01:49] <flipstar> then X
[01:50] <goop2> that stuff didn't work for me
[01:50] <goop2> I still can't get X going
[01:50] <snarkster> i didnt think init 3 worrked on ubuntu
[01:50] <goop2> or install the nVidia drivers
[01:50] <flipstar> for me it always did ..
[01:51] <PhilGold> got 'sending term signal', sending kill signal, ran through a bunch of stuff too fast to follow, and now i'm at the 'black screen of death'
[01:51] <nosrednaekim> PhilGold: let me look at other people who have installed linux on your computer...
[01:51] <flipstar> ouch
[01:51] <PhilGold> k
[01:52] <PhilGold> I have a sinking feeling from previous attempts to update drivers under winxp that I may have a hardware/driver problem.
[01:52] <redblacktree> I am looking for help with getting my wireless adapter working in Gutsy.  I have an RT2500 based card.  It was working *once*, but I haven't been able to get back to that point since a restart.  To be honest, I'm not really sure where to start in asking the question.  This is my first serious linux install (that I am determined to keep).
[01:53] <PhilGold> I noticed that on startup kubuntu says it's loading drivers, but according to HP and Nvidia, HP has a custom driver for my chipset, due to it being on a laptop, which they have not bothered updating in awhile.

[02:01] <nosredna_ekim> Ice-DraVen: yeah... IDK... you might have an unsupported CD drive
[02:01] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: yeah.. and I found your problem.
[02:01] <Max-P> I did apt-get install -f install, look like working
[02:02] <PhilGold> there you have to add to the boot thing (press e at grub screen)?
[02:02] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: no... a bit simpler than that....
[02:02] <PhilGold> Oh, please, do tell.
[02:02] <PhilGold> I was about to ask you to explain the section under 'installed but not booting' a little better.
[02:03] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: if you are back at the rescue prompt, run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[02:03] <Ice-DraVen> gigabyte unsupported?
[02:03] <PhilGold> give me a sec to get there.
[02:03] <nosredna_ekim> Ice-DraVen: dunno
[02:03] <Max-P> nosredna_ekim: Think it works, thanks
[02:04] <PhilGold> It's got to run the forced check to get there.
[02:04] <flipstar> good nite everyone
[02:04] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: right...
[02:04] <PhilGold> nite flip, thanks for help.

[02:04] <rhino7> what happened to this channel?

[02:07] <user__> hi all.  anyone know what port Subversion (SVN) uses to  download?
[02:07] <user__> i have an iptables script that i must disable any time i want to check out with SVN
[02:09] <nosredna_ekim> user__: no idea.
[02:10] <nosredna_ekim> Ice-DraVen: nope....
[02:10] <user__> nosredna_ekim: me neither... one site says port 80, which i obviously have whitelisted, but it mentions Port 81 as well. I'll try that.  BTW, what's up with the underscore?
[02:11] <nosredna_ekim> user__: I got disconnected... so this is my backup nick when the other is taken (by the other me) and yeah.. i'm too lazy to gost
[02:12] <PhilGold> nosred, i ran it....have warning about being carefull changing this file, and various options
[02:12] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok... scroll down do the "section Device"
[02:12] <nosredna_ekim> there should be a sub-option "Driver"
[02:12] <user__> mike: i c... i have changed my iptables config, going to restart x
[02:13] <PhilGold> section 'InputDevice'?
[02:14] <PhilGold> section device
[02:14] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: farther down...
[02:14] <PhilGold> identifier generic video card, driver vesa
[02:15] <nosredna_ekim> meh.... thought that might be the problem....
[02:15] <nosredna_ekim> :(
[02:15] <PhilGold> oddly enough, me too
[02:16] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok... lets try installing the official nvidia drivers.
[02:16] <nosredna_ekim> exit that file(ctrl+x)
[02:16] <PhilGold> but hey, at least i'm not at a blank black screen anymore.
[02:17] <nosredna_ekim> :)
[02:17] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok, first of all is this laptop attached to a wired network?
[02:18] <PhilGold> save modified buffer?
[02:18] <PhilGold> yes, it is a wired network, which due to furniture arrangement is causing no shortage of discomfort to me.

[02:19] <nano__> i installed all alsa packages from source, now im trying to install kdm from Adept, but Adept says that it also needs to install alsa-utils 1.0.13, but this version of alsa-utils is old and a newer version is already installed.  What should I do?
[02:19] <MaskedOne> wasnt paying attention did anyone answer my question about changing text color of a minimized to kicker window?
[02:20] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok.... run "sudo dhclient eth0" then to get a net connection..
[02:21] <PhilGold> k
[02:21] <PhilGold> no errors
[02:21] <nano__> anybody have any idea as to how i can solve my problem?
[02:22] <PhilGold> nano, I'm more lost than you.
[02:23] <PhilGold> Nosred, I believe I have a connection.
[02:23] <nano__> PhilGold: are you confused by my question, or are you confused by ubuntu in general?
[02:23] <PhilGold> Both.
[02:23] <nano__> :)
[02:28] <nano__> this place is dead
[02:30] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok

[02:31] <fr0w> is there anyway to re-execute the hardware detection that is made during install?
[02:31] <nosredna_ekim> *....
[02:31] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: not that I know of..
[02:31] <fr0w> let's say i have 2 different computers
[02:31] <fr0w> i have installed everything i needed in one of them
[02:31] <fr0w> and i don't want to re-do everything in the other computer
[02:32] <fr0w> so i'd just clone the first hd
[02:32] <fr0w> and boot it in the second computer but it does not work
[02:32] <fr0w> due to some problems in hardware detection i guess
[02:33] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: boot failsafe mode?
[02:33] <fr0w> but then i'd have to boot in failsafe mode everytime?
[02:33] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: not neccesarily...
[02:33] <im-a-n00b> hey all... has anyone been able to use smb4k to connect to a vista box?
[02:33] <im-a-n00b> i can connect to xp boxes fine.. but it keeps asking for authentication on the vista ne. i have disabled the firewall and used everyone as the group that has read/write access
[02:34] <fr0w> im-a-n00b vista has a new protocol for a auth called NTLMv2
[02:34] <fr0w> and seems like samba does not support this properly i guess
[02:35] <fr0w> nosredna_ekim how come then? if i boot the failsafe mode what do i have to do to make the system "stable" again?
[02:35] <im-a-n00b> fr0w: 0_o... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! damn microsoft screwing stuff up again
[02:35] <PhilGold> reading package lists...Done
[02:35] <im-a-n00b> fr0w: lol, thanks.. been trying for a while wondering why i cant connect to it
[02:36] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: great...
[02:36] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: now run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[02:36] <fr0w> im-a-n00b i've experienced some problems with vista and samba but samba being a domain controler
[02:36] <fr0w> i wasn't able to test the shares
[02:36] <fr0w> but i guess they have pretty much the same problem
[02:36] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: do you have any idea what hardware exactly it is not detecting?
[02:37] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: video card?
[02:37] <im-a-n00b> fr0w: bummer.. i have 3 ubuntu file servers at work and we may be upgrading the clients to vista at some point
[02:37] <nosredna_ekim> im-a-n00b: use ultimate... so you can get NFS ;)
[02:37] <nano__> i installed the latest alsa from source and everything works great, but now im trying to install kdm but adept says that i have a missing dependency of some old alsa-utils pacakge (the newer version i have already installed).
[02:37] <fr0w> nosredna_ekim i'd bet the video card since it cannot display the gdm
[02:37] <nano__> If anybody could share some insight i would really appreciate it
[02:38] <im-a-n00b> nosredna_ekim: ultimate supports nfs???
[02:38] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: run, from the command line "apt-get install -f kdm"
[02:38] <nano__> what will that do?
[02:38] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: try putting the HD back in the old computer and changing the video driver to vesa
[02:38] <nano__> so it will install kdm and now worry about dealing with dependencies?
[02:38] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: force it to install... ignoreing dependencies
[02:38] <nano__> sweet
[02:38] <nosredna_ekim> (it should)
[02:38] <PhilGold> Nosred, I have apparently locked up while typing out the command
[02:39] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: oh.. and run it as sudo
[02:39] <nano__> nosredna_ekim that is good to know, how come i can't accomplish that with adept
[02:39] <nano__> there is no such option or what?
[02:39] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: before or after hitting enter
[02:39] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: too advanced of an option
[02:39] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: and not a good one to use all the time
[02:39] <fr0w> nosredna_ekim that would be the generic vga driver
[02:39] <nosredna_ekim> nano__: but in this case its safe
[02:39] <fr0w> right?
[02:40] <nosredna_ekim> fr0w: right.
[02:40] <nano__> nosredna_ekim: thnk man
[02:40] <nano__> you have made my night
[02:40] <fr0w> al'right ima give it a shot
[02:40] <nano__> thnx and goodbye
[02:41] <PhilGold> should i do a manual reboot, or is there something else i can do?
[02:42] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: try "ctrl+c"
[02:42] <BluesKaj> im-a-n00b, maybe this will help : http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html
[02:42] <nosredna_ekim> BluesKaj: yay... getting a bit swamped here
[02:42] <westy_> hello room
[02:42] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: ok thanks :)
[02:43] <westy_> i am having a problem with my 26in screen not fitting correctly on my screen
[02:43] <westy_> i said that wrong
[02:43] <westy_> lol
[02:43] <BluesKaj> hi nosredna_ekim .., I'll be here for a little while :)
[02:43] <westy_> my desktop is not fitting on my screen i have a 26in
[02:45] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: anything?
[02:45] <PhilGold> Nosred, while still typing in...I actually typoed and tried to backspace to correct
[02:45] <BluesKaj> westy_, describe , "not fitting"
[02:46] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: i cant believe that, they default to using a security protocol that no one has used in years.. and has the potential to make all existing network storage devices redundant
[02:46] <PhilGold> i have to hold the laptop sideways so the ethernet and power cords both reach their respective plugs.
[02:46] <westy_> my screen size is suppose to be 1177x667 but it wont change to that its at 1280x1020
[02:47] <soulrider> hi BluesKaj
[02:47] <BluesKaj> im-a-n00b, that's the same ol' M$ doing their thing to force everyone to run their software :(
[02:48] <BluesKaj> hi soulrider
[02:48] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: lol true
[02:48] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: and?
[02:49] <nosredna_ekim> its still locked up?
[02:49] <westy_> i dont know if nvidia allows a appp to rescale my hd screen like win. does
[02:49] <BluesKaj> im-a-n00b, I'm not real knowledgeable about networking to vista
[02:49] <westy_> i installed gentoo but we wont go there it workd but wont work on my setup
[02:50] <BluesKaj> westy_, what drivers are you using on your graphics card and monitor ?
[02:50] <PhilGold> I'm still just sitting at that screen.
[02:50] <Svoda> I have one harddisk with 33 bad blocks (this number does not seem to increase with time, scanned several times).  If there are/will be no more bad sectors , will the install program automatically format the swap and ext3 partitions so that these sectors are avoided?
[02:50] <PhilGold> would you like me to do a manual reboot?
[02:51] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: yeah <_<
[02:52] <nosredna_ekim> Svoda: it should
[02:52] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: i much prefer xp to vista... and linux to xp.. only reason vista is on both of those laptops im building is because they came with vista, the rebuild cd is vista, and they play games that require direct x (only reason i still have an xp partition... which hasn't been booted in months (hope it doesnt rust in that section of the disk lol))
[02:52] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: and run that command when you reboot
[02:52] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: going to try what the article says now.. ill let u know how it goes :)
[02:53] <BluesKaj> im-a-n00b, good luck :)
[02:54] <westy_> BluesKaj: im using my graphic driver supported by ubuntu the nvidia gforce 7 series and my screen is using idk because its a tv screen
[02:55] <BluesKaj> westy_, are you using the default nvidia restricted driver ?
[02:55] <westy_> no
[02:56] <BluesKaj> westy_, in some cases the restricted driver is better than the nvidia proprietary recommended one
[02:56] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: when you get back up run "sudo dhclient eth0" and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[02:56] <Doctor_Nick> does anyone know how to switch the caps-lock with the ctrl key?
[02:56] <westy_> i've tried both
[02:56] <Doctor_Nick> using fancy linux trickery
[02:56] <Doctor_Nick> not the physical act of rewiring the keyboard
[02:57] <PhilGold> sorry crashed.
[02:57] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: ok sofar no good... but i figure it may need a reboot.. and even if that doesnt end up fixing it, it is a very good point to know when i have to deal with people having issues dealing with ntlm and ntlmv2
[02:57] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: when you get back up run "sudo dhclient eth0" and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[02:57] <PhilGold> Nosred, I'm sitting frozen, before entering the last command.
[02:57] <PhilGold> k, I'll do a manual reboot
[02:57] <nosredna_ekim> yeah..
[02:57] <nosredna_ekim> is this the SECOND time it crashed?
[02:57] <nosredna_ekim> or did you never do a reboot..
[02:57] <Newboid> Hi all, running a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 with KDE 4... apps requiring an "su" won't accept my password. Anyone know what to do?
[02:58] <westy_> brb gota restart x
[02:58] <nosredna_ekim> Newboid: yeah... run them from the comand line with "kdesudo appname"
[02:58] <nosredna_ekim> Newboid: its a known issue that is going to be fixed
[02:59] <meiokilo> eae
[03:00] <Newboid> Nosredna_ekim, thanks very much... just trying to get in to add another account for my wife.
[03:01] <Newboid> Nosredna_ekim -- I had to apt-get to install kdesudo. When I "kdesudo kuser-kde4" I get a bunch of error messages -- "authentication rejected" etc.
[03:01] <nosredna_ekim> Newboid: oh.. are you on gutsy?
[03:01] <BluesKaj> Doctor_Nick, system settings/regional&language/keyboard layout/Xkb options
[03:01] <PhilGold> could not find package
[03:01] <Doctor_Nick> coo
[03:01] <PhilGold> said E: could not find package.
[03:01] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: oh.... great......
[03:01] <whabo> hello ... is there a way to remove compiz from command line? coz i chose compiz 3D settings and now my screen is black and i can only see my mouse ..anyone? thx .. plz HELP
[03:01] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: more config file editing...
[03:01] <PhilGold> you sound thrilled
[03:01] <rhino7> i think slackware users are about to hack me. help me please
[03:02] <Doctor_Nick> sweet
[03:02] <Doctor_Nick> thanks
[03:02] <Newboid> nosredna_ekim -- yes, I'm using the download of Kubuntu 7.10 ISO file with KDE4 set up already... like the look and feel better than regular Ubuntu 7.10 that I used in the past (I think) but things like this are driving me crazy?
[03:02] <Newboid> So I'm not a total Ubuntu newbie but things like this are beyond me.
[03:03] <PhilGold> k, just let me know
[03:04] <smith__> rhino7: you can troll better than that
[03:05] <rhino7> smith__> no seriously i think those guys are the real hackers
[03:05] <nosredna_ekim> Newboid: oh... ok, well the first thing I reccomend is installing all of kde3 with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" it will give you some needed apps and such
[03:05] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: ok, run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[03:07] <regeya> heh, I just saw an article claiming that canonical(sp) just "killed" kde b/c kde4 will not make it into the next lts
[03:07]  * regeya already closed the window, it was a crap article
[03:08] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: fid the line that says "deb <url here> gutsy main restricted"
[03:08] <nosredna_ekim> there may be a # mark in front of it...
[03:09] <BluesKaj> regeya, Hardy will not be receiving LTS due to KDE4 not being real ready for prime time
[03:09] <PhilGold> the file is blank
[03:10] <BluesKaj> once kde4 is ready then the next RC will get LTS from reading between the lines IMO.
[03:10] <PhilGold> it pulled up, but there is nothing there.
[03:10] <Willabee> I'm having trouble with my microphone
[03:10] <Willabee> on windows it gets sound perfectly
[03:11] <Willabee> but I almost have to scream into the mic on kubuntu for it to get sound
[03:11] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: 0.o......
[03:11] <BluesKaj> Willabee, do you have you mic ctrl unmuted in alsamixer ?
[03:11] <Willabee> nothing muted
[03:12] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: you sure its blank? if so.... you have a seriously messed up installation..
[03:12] <BluesKaj> turned up to 71%?
[03:13] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: double check that you type the right command...
[03:16] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: so far hasnt worked :( im still googling for the answer
[03:17] <Willabee> turned mic up to max and still the same
[03:18] <BluesKaj> im-a-n00b, i'm not surprised :(
[03:18] <BluesKaj> Willabee, have you checked kmix switches tab
[03:19] <Willabee> if it matters
[03:20] <Willabee> I'm doing rosetta stone through Shockwave on firefox through WINE
[03:20] <BluesKaj> Willabee, I have no idea what you just said ...a game ?
[03:21] <Willabee> Rosetta Stone is a language thing
[03:21] <Willabee> and part of it is comparing voice
[03:21] <Willabee> since there isn't shockwave support on linux, I run it through WINE
[03:23] <nosredna_ekim> PhilGold: hey... sorry, I have to go.... I think your install is totally messed up though...
[03:23] <BluesKaj> well, this old guy is getting tired .. off to bed , nite all
[03:23] <nosredna_ekim> night :)
[03:24] <Willabee> I just turned mic boost on and it works now
[03:25] <snarkster> does anyone know if i make a pdf in openoffice if i can make functional links
[03:25] <nosredna_ekim> snarkster: probably
[03:25] <snarkster> ok thank you
[03:31] <im-a-n00b> BluesKaj: fixed.... damn windows redundant security that only works when u dont want it to
[03:31] <nosredna_ekim> im-a-n00b: lol
[03:33] <im-a-n00b> ok.. so besides having to turn the firewall off (as it sometimes works and sometimes doesnt... and sometimes works so well that nothing works), and sharing a folder, and giving everyone access to write to it, you then have to go into the control panel, and then network and sharing center, to change a totally redundant option of password protection sharing to off (its on by default)
[03:34] <im-a-n00b> now.. why would u need to have it still password protected if your going to give every bob and his dog (everyone) read and write access anyway
[03:34] <im-a-n00b> *end rant
[03:39] <ubuntu_> okay
[03:39] <ubuntu_> that sucks
[03:39] <ubuntu_> its me westy
[03:40] <ubuntu_> how do you go about reconfiguring xserver while its crashed and wont boot
[03:40] <sonoftheclayr> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:40] <sonoftheclayr> i think
[03:41] <ubuntu_> i installed the wrong driver for my card and thats what did tit
[03:41] <ubuntu_> well i went from propritary to standard
[03:41] <ubuntu_> lol
[03:41] <sonoftheclayr> Yeah that's the command
[03:41] <ubuntu_> ok
[03:41] <ubuntu_> ill try that
[03:42] <sonoftheclayr> just make sure you select the right driver when it asks you what driver you want.
[03:42] <ubuntu_> i did
[03:42] <ubuntu_> but im having a problem with my desktop and fitting on my screen
[03:42] <ubuntu_> well
[03:43] <ubuntu_> it fits just to the left to far and up to down to far
[03:44] <thechris> i need to install 64bit kubunutu without a CD
[03:44] <thechris> and the livecd image doesn't work
[03:44] <ubuntu_> brb

[03:46] <fignew> troof
[03:47] <thechris> stdin: ok, that didn't work
[03:47] <thechris> thats why i'm here
[03:47] <stdin> which did you try?
[03:48] <thechris> the InstallFromLinux
[03:48] <thechris> worsk with 32b, not 64b
[03:48] <thechris> the 64b image hangs before boot
[03:48] <thechris> not a kernel panic
[03:49] <stdin> is that with the desktop or alternate image?
[03:49] <thechris> desktop
[03:49] <thechris> though i don't see how that really matters.
[03:50] <stdin> try with the alternate image, it's less complex (so less can go wrong)
[03:50] <thechris> does the alternate has a different kernel?
[03:50] <thechris> if not i can't see it helping.
[03:50] <stdin> it loads it differently
[03:50] <stdin> the desktop system actually "boots" twice
[03:51] <stdin> once to load the image on the CD and once to actually boot the compressed image
[03:51] <thechris> yeah, i don't get past the first "boot"
[03:52] <rhino7> what is the difference between linux kernal and actual linux distros?
[03:52] <thechris> i never get to the point where "root" is mounted, and ubunutu's init takes over
[03:53] <stdin> thechris: the alternate cd just mounts an initramfs, can't hurt to try it
[03:53] <thechris> rhino7: distros tend to direct how software is installed, and how the system is configured, wheras the kernel defines how the HW works with the OS
[03:53] <stdin> rhino7: the distribution is the kernel and software tools
[03:54] <thechris> (simple explaination)
 how come someone hasn't made dlinux? is linux technologically advanced? what are some alternative to linux? is linux the best?
[03:56] <thechris> dlinux?

[03:59] <rhino7> who is better solaris free bsd or linux?
[04:01] <apparle> hello
[04:02] <apparle> I want to install mplayer, should I download mplayer or kmplayer
[04:03] <stdin> apparle: kmplayer is not mplayer
[04:04] <apparle> ten what is kmplayer
[04:04] <stdin> it's another alternative
[04:04] <stdin> it can use mplayer as it's backend
[04:05] <apparle> my kaffiene and amarok play some wav files and .mov files in steps. what should I do
[04:05] <stdin> if you want a good GUI to mplayer, try smplayer
[04:05] <fignew> smplayer is amazing :)
[04:06] <thechris> anyone know what ramdisk_size should be for a 64b install?
[04:06] <thechris> i'm wondering if my install image needs a different sized ramdisk_size
[04:07] <stdin> should be the same on 32bit as 64bit
[04:08] <thechris> what is the units?  bytes
[04:09] <stdin> I think so yes
[04:09] <apparle> stdin: I want a good player with small number of dependencies
[04:10] <jhutchins> thechris: I don't think install uses a ramdisk.  Do you mean swap space?
[04:10] <stdin> apparle: all smplayer needs is mplayer and Qt4, you should already have Qt4 installed
[04:10] <thechris> jhutchins: the install docs for "install from linux" give a ramdisk_size kernal argument
[04:10] <jhutchins> thechris: Oh, kubuntu, you're installing from the live CD running in ramdisk.
[04:11] <jhutchins> thechris: In any case, 64 vs 32 shouldn't matter.
[04:11] <jhutchins> where and how does your install fail?
[04:14] <apparle> stdin: I will give it a try. Can I change the icon of Kmenu
[04:14] <Kevin__> hello when I try to install from in windows it shows the launching brouser then disappears when I try to boot it from a reboot I click on install and it shows an error with reading it
[04:15] <stdin> apparle: you can, but it requires renaming the old icon and putting a new one in with the same name as the old one
[04:17] <Kevin__> anyone know why it would have problems when I try to install kubuntu?
[04:19] <apparle> stdin: Where is the icon which I should rename
[04:20] <ol_dude67> Kevin__, what error does it give you?
[04:20] <sub[t]rnl> apparle➜  /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/XxY/apps/kmenu.png i'de recon
[04:21] <Kevin__> error reading boot image
[04:21] <sub[t]rnl> of course, crystalsvg would be different if your using another icon theme
[04:21] <Kevin__> and yet it seems to show when I go through my computer on windows
[04:22] <ol_dude67> Kevin__, did you burn it to disk as an iso?"
[04:22] <Kevin__> yes
[04:22] <ol_dude67> did you check the disk?
[04:22] <apparle> sub[t]rnl: what if the icon gets deleted or just renamed
[04:22] <Kevin__> yes
[04:22] <sub[t]rnl> apparle➜ then it won't be displayed in the kicker
[04:22] <Kevin__> when I opened it in windows right now
[04:23] <Kevin__> it brings up the original loading browser image
[04:23] <Kevin__> and thats it
[04:23] <apparle> sub[t]rn:but will the menu work
[04:23] <sub[t]rnl> yup
[04:24] <sub[t]rnl> at least it should (i've never renamed the icon personally)
[04:24] <apparle> sub[t]rn: and for the replacement icon is there a size limit etc
[04:25] <sub[t]rnl> the sizes in the /usr/share/icons/ correspond to the tiny,small,normal,large settings of the control panel I'm assuming
[04:25] <sub[t]rnl> 16x16,22x22,32x32 etc...
[04:25] <reaperdragon> hey i just installed kubuntu 7.10 how do i get super karamba
[04:25] <ol_dude67> Kevin__, you cant open it in windows. it has to boot with it, if it says its not a boot disk or come up saying install kubuntu or ubuntu then you either got a bad download or a bad burn.
[04:26] <sub[t]rnl> !info superkaramba > reaperdragon
[04:26] <Kevin__> ok I'll try another burn but
[04:26] <Kevin__> but
[04:26] <apparle> stdin: which one is better mplayer or vlc
[04:26] <Kevin__> it actually shows the welcome screen
[04:26] <Kevin__> when I boot from cd when I reboot
[04:26] <stdin> apparle: try both, see what you like
[04:26] <ol_dude67> Kevin__, ok it says install?
[04:26] <Kevin__> yes
[04:26] <Kevin__> once I click that
[04:27] <Kevin__> thats where the error comes in
[04:27] <ol_dude67> Kevin__, try installing with safe video mode
[04:27] <reaperdragon> ty
[04:27] <Kevin__> rgr will do
[04:27] <dustin> Hey guys.  I finally have my wireless working, but for some reason it doesn't work right after a computer restart unless I run : "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"  Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how I can resolve it?
[04:27] <apparle> stdin: I am talking about memory usage and stability
[04:28] <eric_> hello
[04:28] <eric_> anyone using a kn8 mb
[04:28] <stdin> apparle: vlc is probably a bit bigger memory wise, but both are stable
[04:29] <apparle> stdin: which one handles more formats
[04:31] <jimmy51> hello, is there a library i can download so amarok will play *.ram audio files?
[04:32] <apparle> jimmy51: is ram format of real player
[04:32] <stdin> apparle: both handle the same formats if the codecs are installed
[04:33] <jimmy51> apparle: i believe so
[04:33] <reaperdragon> onfigure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[04:33] <reaperdragon> any advice
[04:33] <reaperdragon> ?
[04:33] <apparle> stdin: I will give smplayer atry
[04:34] <jimmy51> apparle: it looks like some files are *.ram and some are *.rm... maybe they're mis-named, extension wise
[04:35] <apparle> jimmy51: It is funny but I don't think you can get the codecs of real media for xine engine. Do you have the real player installed?
[04:36] <jimmy51> apparle:  i sure don't.  i've never much cared for it, even under windows.  i was hoping amarok could handle them but i suppose they're closed source formats
[04:37] <snarkster> does anyone know what making /dev/virtualbox writable means?
[04:37] <snarkster> Im usiing virtualbox 1.5.2
[04:38] <dustin> ok, how about a good place to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" on boot?
[04:38] <apparle> jimmy51: they are closed source but there is a way to get them work
[04:38] <rhino7> what is an alternate partition manager than gparted?
[04:38] <apparle> rhino7: qtparted
[04:38] <snarkster> qtparted
[04:39] <jimmy51> apparle: is it a short simple process?
[04:39] <apparle> jimmy51: it is a complicated way
[04:39] <jimmy51> apparle:  eh, i'll just install the player.  hopefully it will let me convert them to something more useful
[04:40] <snarkster> jimmy51: what kinda file?
 "dependable is not satisfiable"
[04:40] <apparle> jimmy51: install the real player for linux. then I will tell you the next step
[04:40] <snarkster> oh .ram files..
[04:41] <apparle> rhino7: ehich one
[04:41] <apparle> jimmy51: Installed it??
[04:41] <jimmy51> apparle: working on it
[04:42] <snarkster> how do i make /dev/vboxdrv writeable
[04:42] <snarkster> oh i need to log out
[04:43] <jimmy51> apparle: ok, i've downloaded a *.bin file and can't figure out what to do with it
[04:43] <jimmy51> :(
[04:45] <apparle> !real
[04:45] <apparle> how do I get help from ubotu

[04:46] <boots> has anyone had any luck with the wusb54g networkcard in kubuntu
[04:47] <apparle> jimmy51: got it or should I explain in more detail
[04:48] <boots> i need some hwlp with wireless internet
[04:48] <jimmy51> NickPresta, apparle:  I think I've about got it installed.  It wanted to isntall to Desktop, which wasn't cool.  I'm trying to find a good place for it
[04:48] <NickPresta> jimmy51, what are you trying to install?
[04:49] <jimmy51> NickPresta: RealPlayer
[04:50] <apparle> jimmy51: Don't worry, we are going to remove real player. Just install it temporarily any where
[04:51] <jimmy51> apparle: ok, i think it's installed
[04:51] <apparle> I have the packages for fiesty. Will they work for gytsu
[04:51] <apparle> I have the packages for fiesty. Will they work for gutsy
[04:51] <jimmy51> apparle: i don't see it in the K menu, but there's a RealPlayer folder with stuff under it
[04:52] <apparle> jimmy51: Now go to the directory. Do you see a directory named codec
[04:52] <jimmy51> apparle: yup
[04:52] <boots> can anyone help me
[04:52] <reaperdragon> superkaramba is installed but it wont let me configure any of the themes
[04:52] <jimmy51> apparle: there are several *.so files under "codecs"
[04:53] <apparle> jimmy51: Copy the 'codecs' directory ro any suitable place
[04:53] <apparle> jimmy51: Copy the 'codecs' directory to any suitable place
[04:54] <jimmy51> apparle: like this?  sudo cp ./codecs /home/aslanteigne/desktop/codecs
[04:55] <apparle> jimmy51: I am not good at commands. Right click on the folder >"copy" and then paste it any where you want
[04:55] <jimmy51> apparle: nevermind, i just used dolphin to copy them
[04:55] <apparle> jimmy51: now start kaffiene
[04:55] <jimmy51> apparle: started
[04:56] <apparle> go to tools menu> xine engine parameters
[04:57] <apparle> wait a minute. First of all run the real player from where ever you have installed and check if you can play the file in it
[04:59] <jimmy51> apparle: SWEET!  playing in kaffeine!  thanks for the help!
[05:00] <apparle> jimmy51: How come We have not done anything
[05:00] <apparle> jimmy51: check in amarok
[05:01] <jimmy51> apparle: sorry, i clicked ahead and found a place to enter the path to the codecs.  i placed them in usr/lib/realcodecs, then typed that path in kaffiene's decoder settings
[05:02] <apparle> jimmy51: that was what I was about to tell. Smart  8-) Now you may remove real player
[05:03] <jimmy51> apparle:  ok, thanks.  is there a clean way to remove... or just rm RealPlayer folder?
[05:03] <apparle> jimmy51: that is the cleanest way
[05:04] <jimmy51> apparle:  ok.  man, still not playing in amarok though.
[05:04] <jimmy51> apparle: at least not via URL
[05:04] <apparle> jimmy51: It is playing if you enter the file directly??
[05:05] <jimmy51> apparle:  nope, not local either
[05:05] <apparle> jimmy51: check in kaffiene
[05:05] <jimmy51> apparle:  so far just kaffeine likes the files.
[05:06] <apparle> jimmy51: kaffiene is playing but not amarok. that is really funny
[05:06] <apparle> jimmy51: both use the same engine
[05:07] <jimmy51> apparle:  yeah, it seems weird.  i'm noticing the *.RAM downloads are instant, so i think it just points to content online or something
[05:08] <apparle> jimmy51: I don't think so because the ram files are too small (compressed)
[05:09] <apparle> jimmy51:see if amarok can play any other real audio file like .ra or .ra
[05:10] <apparle> jimmy51: .rm
[05:11] <apparle> jimmy51: I just want to see if the codecs work for amarok or not
[05:11] <jimmy51> apparle: "There is no available decoder."  that's ok, i'll just use kaffiene for now.  i'll look into it further when it's not 6 hours until i clock in with no sleep yet  :)
[05:12] <apparle> jimmy51: ok
[05:12] <jimmy51> apparle: thanks for the help in getting it to play.  i liked a band back in high school and found one of the members hosts their music on a website and wanted to hear it since the CD's are out of print
[05:13] <jimmy51> apparle: a little nostalgia, now possible due to your help.  good night (or day or morning, depending on where you may be)!
[05:14] <apparle> jimmy51: good morning. here 10:45 AM

[06:08] <NickPresta> Azt3c, that is unfortunate. I'm sure there is a way you can ask someone you know to provide you with documentation and such so you can learn.

[06:14] <Azt3c> i am kinda working against time,don't really know my way around this irc thing either.i spend 99% of my time on Berkley,or W3C. No time for chat:)
[06:14] <Azt3c> sorry to bother
[06:14] <sigma> go to ubuntuforums.org, the american team has a page in the loco team section
[06:14] <sigma> you can get their details from there
[06:15] <Azt3c> thank you
[06:29] <navetz> what can I use in ubuntu to do some webdesign with flash?
[06:31] <NickPresta> navetz, sadly, I don't think there is anything that resembles Flash MX or anything simlar in GNU+Linux
[06:31] <navetz> NickPresta: well this kinda really sucks
[06:31] <alev2477> hi
[06:31] <posingaspopular> hi alev2477
[06:32] <navetz> NickPresta: you wouldn't know how much memory is required to run flash in windows by any chance would you?
[06:32] <NickPresta> navetz, you can run Flash MX in Wine, I suppose. It has a gold rating, meaning it works > 90%
[06:32] <tyson_> hello!
[06:32] <navetz> NickPresta: oh that sounds great actually
[06:32] <navetz> NickPresta: thanks
[06:32] <NickPresta> navetz, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1027
[06:33] <tyson_> i am having a problem with grub. its misconfigured, but when i try to configure it correctly, it doesnt seem to save the settings i have specified, or perhaps i am setting them wrong
[06:33] <tyson_> in short, when grub loads, i have to edit the 'root' entry to specify the correct partition manually, and then it will boot
[06:34] <NickPresta> tyson_, edit your menu.lst. /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:36] <tyson_> you da man
[06:38] <Zombocom> is there a package for 64 bit flash yet?
[06:39] <slyboots> nChrist KDE4 is weird
[06:39] <NickPresta> Zombocom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#head-38245bd46a3334b4cc11601e161ddaa63439d2db
[06:39] <NickPresta> Zombocom, The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:39] <Zombocom> I know I know
[06:39] <NickPresta> :)
[06:40] <Zombocom> nick that's been broken for a while
[06:40] <NickPresta> Zombocom, indeed.
[06:41] <Zombocom> flash is a pretty big deal
[06:41] <NickPresta> for some people, yeah.
[06:42] <Zombocom> if someone isn't a network administrator
[06:42] <Zombocom> they probably need flash
[06:43] <Lynoure> more like want.
[06:43] <NickPresta> Zombocom, I understand the frustration with the broken flash.  Torn the wallpaper on the desktop
[06:47] <NickPresta> slyboots, http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3174
[06:47] <Zombocom> lol
[06:47] <slyboots> my webcam has stopped working, my keyboard keys dont work right x.x
[06:47] <rahmat> I lost my task bar in KDE 4. I have no idea how to get it back up
[06:47] <rahmat> hah
[06:47] <Lynoure> Zombocom: Released already, but yes, in Kubuntu beta (or is Hardy actually still in alpha?)
[06:47] <NickPresta> If you have a serious problem with KDE 4.0 that needs attending to, join #kubuntu-kde4
[06:48] <slyboots> I have, everyone is dead x.x
[06:48] <Zombocom> lol
[06:48] <slyboots> No doubt killed by KDE-4 :P
[06:48] <Zombocom> lol
[06:48] <Zombocom> sly
[06:48] <rahmat> funny :)
[06:48] <slyboots> Seriously though, how the hell do I.. reattach my desktop?
[06:48] <Zombocom> you're going to get me in trouble
[06:48] <Zombocom> duct tape
[06:48] <Zombocom> fixes everything
[06:48] <rahmat> how did you tear the wallpaper?
[06:48] <slyboots> There is a huge white border on the bottom left and right of the desktop
[06:49] <rahmat> hahah
[06:49] <slyboots> Í have no idea, I was moving icons around and it just.. shifted
[06:49] <slyboots> Now I cant figure out how I did it
[06:49] <Zombocom> did you try doing a barrel roll?
[06:49] <Zombocom> wait
[06:49] <Zombocom> that just avoids damage
[06:49] <NickPresta> !ot
[06:49] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[06:49] <Zombocom> you've already taken it
[06:49] <rahmat> eh, i lost my taskbar somehow when I changed my theme settings.
[06:50] <slyboots> I tried KDE3 but I was having a host of issues, for some weird reason the volume control on my laptop does not work :(
[06:50] <NickPresta> !doesn't work
[06:50] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[06:50] <slyboots> Anyway, Im going to rollback, I thought KDE4 was stable, I guess not
[06:51] <slyboots> NickPresta, Sorry.
[06:51] <Zombocom> slyboots it is because of furries
[06:51] <Zombocom> but anywho
[06:51] <sub[t]rnl> rahmat➜ right click on kicker, add applet, taskbar
[06:51] <Zombocom> when is this fix going to come out
[06:51] <NickPresta> There are fixes for almost every problem you can think of, especially something as common and needed as volume control :)
[06:51] <slyboots> On my Thinkpad R61, pressing the volume control buttons brings up the OSD but it only moves between 0% and 11% and has no bering on the actual PCM volume
[06:51] <NickPresta> Zombocom, when it's ready.
[06:52] <slyboots> Sound itself, if I use the .. kvol? application works fine,
[06:52] <Zombocom> OH GOD HOW DID THIS GET HERE
[06:52] <Zombocom> I AM NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTER
[06:52] <NickPresta> !tell Zombocom about caps
[06:53] <NickPresta> slyboots, I actually just fixed this yesterday on my desktop. Try this first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3444817&postcount=4

[06:58] <dhq> i use xfce i changed my resolution now my pc gets stuck how do i restoore it
[06:58] <anakin_> Hi, i am trying to install a new graphics card, so after rebooting it, do I have to do the whole X configuration bit?
[06:58] <anakin_> something along the lines of `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh`?
[06:59] <anakin_> i mean -phi?
[07:00] <NickPresta> anakin_, if your new card is going into exactly the same slot and uses exactly the same driver and such, you might be able to get away with doing nothing. You will probably have a broken X configuration after you install it, meaning a `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` will probably be needed
[07:01] <anakin_> oh, well, i am changing from the wretched on board  card to an nvidia geforce8 card. let me reboot and see what happens. see you in a bit. thanks.
[07:02] <rc-1> Hi, there was no driver for my printer (Lexmark 2500) in the default database and http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-2500 s download links are dead, where should I look next? thanx
[07:03] <jussi01> rc-1: download works fine here

[07:04] <alexbobp> I just booted my computer after resizing some partitions and tried to log in to kdm.  When my main account logs in with any window manager (kde or gnome), the screen goes black for a second and then goes back to the login screen.  startx shows a black screen and then terminates.  Other accounts can log in fine.  What can cause this?
[07:04] <slyboots> Okay, the OSD does not come up, but Vol up and down now works and mute is broken lol
[07:05] <rc-1> An error occurred while loading http://home.t-online.de/home/paetzold-net/page_004.html:
[07:05] <jussi01> alexbobp: sounds like you applied a bad theme or something
[07:06] <jussi01> rc-1: still having trouble getting that driver? pm me your email and Ill email ti to you
[07:06] <NickPresta> slyboots, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/118723  Near the bottom, there is a link to a kmilo deb with the patch applied. The comment is #27 and this is the link (http://kenny-x.student.utwente.nl/stuff/kmilo_3.5.6-0ubuntu2_i386.deb)
[07:07] <NickPresta> slyboots, install that via `sudo dpkg -i kmilo_3.5.6-0ubuntu2_i386.deb`
[07:07] <alexbobp> jussi01: Gnome won't work either, and I haven't applied any themes anyway
[07:07] <slyboots> NickPresta, Thank you :)
[07:07] <slyboots> You dont know how I can change my keyboard layout as well? Seems to be stuck under international so a lot of symbol keys dont work
[07:08] <slyboots> And I cant find the option under Keyboard Settings

[07:09] <slyboots> Ack, I was looking in the wrong area :)

[07:30] <rc-1> fignew: how much for?
[07:31] <fignew> doesn't say http://trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/press.2008-01-28.4605718236
[07:31] <rc-1> so, i installed my printer with the 2030 driver, its a 2500, and sent a print job. it says stopped in the job list, papers loaded and all.  what to try?
[07:33] <slyboots> Sweet GOD!
[07:33] <slyboots> You can *remove* the border!
[07:33]  * slyboots bows before the greatness of KDE! and *weeps*
[07:33] <slyboots> Jesus, its been *months* I've been to get that feature on a media player
[07:34] <rc-1> http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596_666676871_0_en,00.html doesnt even LIST linux at all lol
[07:34] <slyboots> rc-1, only savages and dirty commies use Linux
[07:34] <fignew> slyboots: what feature?
[07:35] <slyboots> fignew, the ability to have a borderless window, so now I have a free-floating mplayer video window :)
[07:35] <fignew> lol
[07:36] <slyboots> its a great feature, I could not figure out how to get it in gnome at all :P
[07:36] <slyboots> Though goin got have to get shot of konqurer in favor of firefox ;)
[07:37] <anakin_> Hello, i've installed a new graphics card, everything seems to be okay with the restricted drivers except that the resolution is much lower than it used to be on a crummy VIA on board card.
[07:38] <anakin_> so how do i get better screen resolutions?
[07:38] <NickPresta> anakin_, so you have your restricted nvidia driver?
[07:39] <anakin_> yep, for an nvidia geforce8 card
[07:39] <NickPresta> anakin_, see if you can adjust your resolution via `nvidia-settings`
[07:40] <rc-1> anakin_: you can always put it first in the lists of resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (back it up tho!)
[07:40] <slyboots> Oh, Is there a way I can enable true transparency in kterm? intead of that rubishy psudo-trans
[07:41] <rc-1> probly need compositing
[07:41] <anakin_> NickPresta: thanks, nvidia-settings has a tab for monitor/crt configuration
[07:41] <NickPresta> anakin_, it should work :)
[07:41] <slyboots> rc-1, Hm, I know I cant do that in Compiz, because my graphical chipset is blacklisted x.x
[07:41] <NickPresta> slyboots, you can enable transparency in KDE itself :)
[07:42] <slyboots> How do I enable that?
[07:43] <NickPresta> System Setting > Window Behavior > Translucency
[07:45] <NickPresta> slyboots, if you want it for just the terminal or other applications, go to the Window-Specific Settings and create a new rule for the application. Opacity is in the Preferences tab
[07:45] <slyboots> ...Does not seem to be working at all, no matter what percentage I select it never becomes transparent
[07:45] <NickPresta> slyboots, you have checked off "Use Translucency/Shadows" and have set a percent to less than 100%? You have Applied the settings?
[07:46] <Qrawl> !mysql
[07:46] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:46] <slyboots> Yup, everything is setup okay, its just not applying the effect
[07:47] <slyboots> Compiz does not work on this chipset, if that might be a factor? (It has weird issues with XV rendering)
[07:47] <NickPresta> slyboots, hmm. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you need to load up a fresh session of KDE? I don't remember...
[07:48] <slyboots> Worth a shot
[07:48] <sudoubungu> how long can you do a boring task that is wasting time etc?
[07:49] <NickPresta> sudoubungu, not long. I usually write a shell script to do it for me if it is that boring ;)
 what if that task meant life or death?
[07:50] <NickPresta> sudoubungu, then I would get off IRC and focus on the task at hand :)
[07:50] <sudoubungu> NickPresta> what if you had to do it for years?
[07:51] <sudoubungu> NickPresta> what if people stole your stuff while you were doing that task?
[07:51] <NickPresta> !tell sudoubungu about ot
[07:52] <sudoubungu> NickPresta> huh?
[07:53] <sudoubungu> gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i waited 37 days
[07:53] <slyboots> That seems to have enabled it ;)
[07:53] <NickPresta> sudoubungu, if you have waited that long to resize your partition, that would indicate a problem.
[07:53] <NickPresta> slyboots, so it works?
[07:54] <sudoubungu> NickPresta> :(
[07:54] <slyboots> Aye, Had to fiddle with the defaults but restarting got it going :)
[07:54] <NickPresta> slyboots, that's good
[07:55] <NickPresta> well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight #kubuntu
[07:55] <slyboots> Goodnight :)
[07:55] <slyboots> Thanks again for your help
[07:56] <serrucho> can somebody tell me what is better ubuntu or kubuntu?
[07:56] <slyboots> serrucho, Matter of personal taste
[07:56] <jussi01> night NickPresta
[07:56] <slyboots> Its not a case of one been better than the other, fundamentally they are the same thing
[07:56] <serrucho> that`s  right
[07:57] <slyboots> If you have the hard-disk space, why not try both?
[07:57] <slyboots> Just install ubuntu-desktop, and kubuntu-desktop
[07:57] <serrucho> I already have it like that
[07:58] <serrucho> a got the two versions
[07:58] <slyboots> Oh, well whatever one you like better, Thats the best.
[07:58] <sveakex> does java/jre work in konqueror? :s
[07:59]  * jussi01 endorses slyboots opinion there :)
[07:59] <slyboots> ... Hmm..
[07:59] <slyboots> Video playback has stopped working
[07:59] <jussi01> sveakex: I think so. do you have a problem?
[07:59] <slyboots> Correction, Video output from video playback has stopped working x.x
[08:00] <jussi01> sveakex: flash in konqueror is broken atm though.
[08:00] <sveakex> jussi01: yeah but i am not running kubuntu, i wanted to see if it supposed to be like this or not as everybody seems unsecure if it works or not
[08:00] <sveakex> supposed to work*
[08:00] <Lynoure> jussi01: it is?   I *hateee* youuuu
[08:01] <Lynoure> jussi01: might be that I have slightly older flash, gotta check
[08:01] <sveakex> jussi01: you can have flash in kubuntu if you embed kmplayer in konqueror
[08:02]  * slyboots falls to his knees!
[08:02] <slyboots> Does KDE use compiz..?
[08:02] <sveakex> slyboots: if you install it, yes
[08:03] <slyboots> .. Ah, I need to remove that then, thats whats breaking XV rendering
[08:04] <jussi01> Lynoure: from the forums thread in the !flash factoid: The new version of Flash is incompatible with Konqueror because it requires XEmbed (Launchpad Bug# 174343). <IP_ADDRESS> is the last version of flash to support Konqueror in its current state.
[08:08] <Lynoure> jussi01: I seem to have an older version on konq and newer on FF, oh well :)

[11:02] <akrus> ScorpKing: aren't you using nVidia? :D
[11:02] <ScorpKing> i am
[11:03] <akrus> nvidia-settings
[11:03] <ScorpKing> :) thanks
[11:03] <akrus> try changing the modes there o_o*
[11:04] <ScorpKing> akrus:  ugh. i can't even see the whole settings screen. can i use the cli one?
[11:04] <ScorpKing> hmm.. there's crt0 and crt1
[11:05] <ScorpKing> i think the problem is the refresh rate.
[11:07] <akrus> ScorpKing: actually nvidia's tool is autodetecting the modes... so likely it should work better than others...
[11:07] <akrus> maybe try reinstalling (it's proprietary software anyway) or restarting your X
[11:07] <ScorpKing> akrus: the only modes are auto, 648x480 and 320x200
[11:09] <ScorpKing> i'll reconfigure it fom tty1. brb
[11:11] <ScorpKing> :) looks like i made a backup of xorg.conf
[11:14] <blizzzek> cya
[11:21] <xevious-> apparle: well replacing kmenu.png would destroy the original file
[11:21] <funda> i can't get the audio to work, i have the snd_hda_intel modules loaded, and alsamixer is unmuted, everytime i try to play something in mplayer it says could not open/initialize sound device...
[11:22] <xevious-> i could make a backup
[11:22] <xevious-> apparle: i was just wondering if there was a way to specify a path to kmenu.png
[11:22] <firecrotch> funda:  what model of sound card do you have?
[11:24] <funda> firecrotch: lspci says intel corp unknown device, but that's because my chipset is new and i'm using 2.6.20 kernel, it worked with the livecd though, i haven't upgraded to feisty yet
[11:26] <funda> what package is alsaconf in, i don't have it installed
[11:26] <doc__> hello, does any one have a dell xps 1330 with bluetooth working ? :?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[11:33] <grish> morning :)
[11:35] <grish> does anyone know how to get adept running again .. i seem to have asked it to only look at the CD, and now i cant start it again, keeps saying "file:/// media/cdrom0 is not know on line 75 in sourcelist
[11:36] <grish> tried to find the sourcelist .. turns out its an empty lib.
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> grish if you run kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:36] <stdin> grish: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:36] <stdin> needs "kate" ;)
[11:37] <grish> from the konsole ?
[11:37] <stdin> from Alt-F2
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> stdin, hehe bah]
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> grish, yeah its a command line command
[11:37] <grish> it found something :) .. takes a bit of reading .. i'll let you know if i get it working :)
[11:38] <stdin> grish: remove the line with "file:///media/cdrom0" in line 75 :)
[11:38] <grish> is it enough to remove the # fromthe others ? .. and evt. place one at the offending file ?
[11:38] <grish> line*
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> grish, the # means comment or "ignore this line"
[11:39] <stdin> yeah, that will be fine
[11:40] <grish> ohh .. i turned off alooooot .. many # needs to be removed :)
[11:43] <grish> yay -- got the konsole apt-get up again ..
[11:43] <grish> does it show that im kinda new to this :/
[11:44] <grish> and the gui one is up too .. tyvm :)
[11:45] <grish> Geezuz - last time i messed with programming like this was on a C-16
[11:46] <grish> not much changed tho :P
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> grish, its not programming, its a configuration file for a program
[11:46] <grish> hehe .. same to me :) .. been stuck on wintendo for too long
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> glad its all smooth now :)
[11:47] <grish> aye ... getting a bit tired of re-installing everytime i touch something :P
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> grish, if you play with lots of config files make a backup first
[11:48] <grish> all tho the last 3-4 times was my own fault .. found out that once you manually configure your network all wireless nets go away ..
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> grish, sudo cp sources.list sources.list_old
[11:48] <grish> heh .. i dont play with them .. i couldnt find them before :)
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> grish, then if it goes wrong you can cp it back
[11:49] <grish> now thats a nifty command :) .. does it work with netconfigs ?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> grish, yeah just change the filename to whatever file you wanna backup
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> as an example
[11:50] <LetsGo67> My time is wrong, is says 12:49, can someone help me change it please?  it constantly changes on its own
[11:51] <grish> :) its 1250 here  .. perhaps youre in the wrong place  .. j/k
[11:51] <Dr_willis> it changes every Min. here :)
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> 11:54am here
[11:51] <Dr_willis> !ntpd
[11:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntpd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:51] <LetsGo67> The point is, it's not supposed to be 12:51 here.
[11:51] <grish> there was a nerf ealier on in 6.xx something .. some of the +1 timezones was +2
[11:51] <Lynoure> ntp ftw :)
[11:51] <LetsGo67> I am using 7.10
[11:52] <grish> it seems to have gone away after i put 7.10 up
[11:52] <Dr_willis> LetsGo67,  so to state the question better.. You ar3e saying its Loseing a few min every so often?
[11:52] <Dr_willis> !compiz
[11:52] <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
[11:52] <LetsGo67> Dr_willis, the minutes are fine, the hour digit changes abnormally (later than usual)
[11:52] <Lynoure> LetsGo67: the commandline command for setting the time is  date, I always forget the syntax, so see  man date
[11:52] <LetsGo67> !BERYL
[11:52] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[11:53] <LetsGo67> Lynourne, even then, my clock changes.
[11:53] <Lynoure> LetsGo67: More detail would be helpful... like when it changes and how
[11:54] <LetsGo67> Lynoure: probably when my computer is off.
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67, how old is the system?
[11:54] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: 5 days.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67, the physical PC is 5 days old?
[11:55] <LetsGo67> ActionParsnip: Windows Vista édition Familiale Basique, which I barely use.  The PC was bought 5 days ago.
[11:55] <LetsGo67> Has a (C)2007.
[11:55] <Dr_willis> some days its like pulling teeth. :) heh heh...
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67, just checking as a low motherboard battery can cause that
[11:55] <Dr_willis> SO if you set the proper date. then power down for an hr.. and power back up. what time does it say?
[11:56] <Dr_willis> proper time i mean.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> LetsGo67, is the time in the bios set correctly?
[11:56] <Dr_willis> if you set the proper time and run for 2 hrs.. does the clock stay correct.. is also another good question.
[11:56] <stdin> I've heard cases where windows can change the system clock to local time on boot, and because linux expects it to be in UTC, that can cause problems
[11:57] <LetsGo67> I can do the test on my own, but it affects both Xubuntu 7.10 and Windows Vista édition Familiale Basique.  The hour digit is later than expected.  The minutes, seconds and date are correct.
[11:57] <LetsGo67> Both of them show a later time.
[11:58] <LetsGo67> Anyone?
[11:59] <Dr_willis> so its gaining an hr every hr? or an hr  just at random>
[11:59] <sigma_> please help, i added the kweather applet to my panel and now i cannot move or remove any applets from it
[12:00] <Dr_willis> if its affecting both linux and windows.. thats weird.
[12:00] <sigma_> i have no clue what that stupid kweather applet did to the panel
[12:01] <Dr_willis> hmm. I dont even have kweather for my panel.
[12:01] <Dr_willis> !find kweather
[12:01] <ubotu> Found: kweather
[12:01] <Dr_willis> Installing it now
[12:01] <sigma_> its in the repo's. pretty popular i see
[12:01] <Lynoure> sigma_: I have never gotten that... What hinders the removals? No right point to click, no reaction, or what?
[12:02] <Dr_willis> Its working fine here.
[12:02] <sigma_> Lynoure: no right point to click anymore!
[12:03] <Dr_willis> right clicking on the little 'handel' on the left side of the kweather applet dont work eh?
[12:04] <Lynoure> sigma_: I guess when in doubt, restarting panel does not hurt
[12:04] <sigma_> Lynoure: how do i do that?
[12:04] <Lynoure> sigma_: dcop kicker kicker restart
[12:04] <sigma_> Dr_willis: thats the problem, i dont have that handle anymore so i can't even move applets around
[12:05] <Dr_willis> no handles on any of hte applets at all?
[12:06] <sigma_> Dr_willis: nope none of them, the functionality just disappeared
[12:06] <sigma_> how do i reset kicker to original settings?
[12:07] <Lynoure> sigma_: my handles only show up if I hover mouse at where they are. that is not the case in your case
[12:07] <sigma_> Lynoure: it restarted but i still can't move anything around or remove anything, i tried hovering through the whole taskbar and there was not one handle
[12:11] <sigma_> ok its back. i deleted the config file for kicker and it reset itself:)
[12:13] <niall_> can anyone tell me why Kopete has all of a sudden stopped working?
[12:15] <Lynoure> sigma_: then try removing kweather with purge option
[12:25] <niall_> can anyone still get on msn using kopete?
[12:26] <niall_> I keep getting an error message saying 'connection actively refused' :z
[12:26] <wsjunior> yes
[12:26] <wsjunior> i have a problem switching to tty, my screen looks like this: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00008gh0.jpg
[12:26] <wsjunior> could anybody help me to solve this?
[12:27] <wsjunior> i tried using vga=791 but it just turn this screen totally black
[12:28] <Dr_willis> You could try disabling the framebuffer.
[12:29] <Dr_willis> use vga=normal, or the 'nofb' option -- details are here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[12:30] <Dr_willis> that image looks like the wrong refresh rates or other settings are being used on the lcd.
[12:30] <Dr_willis> good luck.
[12:31] <Dr_willis>  apt-get install ZZZZZZzzzzz...
[12:31] <Dr_willis> :) bye
[12:33] <niall_> :(
[12:33] <niall_> I can't get on msn anymore
[12:38] <niall_> bah, MSN hates me
[12:39] <niall_> I managed to get kopete to connect by telling it to use the http method, but it throws me back off after about 2 minutes
[12:40] <jussi01> niall_: if you arent adverse to a different msn program, try kmess
[12:41] <niall_> I don't think Kopete is the issue
[12:41] <jussi01> niall_: give it a go and see. ;)
[12:41] <niall_> I rebooted to windows earlier
[12:41] <niall_> and pidgin won't connect either
[12:42] <niall_> but I can get on using the official msn client
[12:42] <niall_> aMSN also doesn't work
[12:42] <firecrotch> Perhaps they changed something server-side to block third party apps again?
[12:42] <niall_> i just get 'connection actively refused' the second I try to sign in
[12:42] <niall_> it's pretty much instantaneous
[12:42] <Maniak> Who want? http://DIANA-MEINE-EX.gotdns.com/?id=5420a7e0 :)
[12:44] <niall_> :(
[12:45] <niall_> this totally sucks
[12:46] <niall_> while I can get on to see my contacts using the HTTP method, I can't actually send any messages to them
[12:46] <niall_> and if it try and connect normally it says 'connection actively refused' instantly
[12:46] <niall_> am I the only person getting this problem?
[12:47] <firecrotch> niall_:  I have no problem connecting to msn with Pidgin
[12:47] <scorpking> there's amsn as well
[12:47] <niall_> this sucks
[12:47] <firecrotch> scorpking: he noted before you joined that he tried amsn as well
[12:48] <niall_> no 3rd party client will let me connect to msn
[12:48] <scorpking> firecrotch: oh ok. didn't know ;)
[12:48] <niall_> I only seem to be able to get on using Windows Live Messenger when I boot back into Vista
[12:48] <niall_> :<
[12:50] <niall_> maybe they banned me :(
[12:50] <firecrotch> niall_:  I don't think so, if you can connect in Vista
[12:50] <niall_> they won't let me use 3rd party clients though
[12:50] <maltron> hi, can someone help me with cdrdao?  I'm trying to get a toc file but it says "ERROR: Cannot setup device /dev/cdrw".  Meanwhile k3b seems to work fine with the drive.   I've tried entering the device into cdrdao (--device ATA:1000,0,0) but to no avail
[12:50] <niall_> I was signed into like 3 accounts at once
[12:50] <romunov__> in windows?
[12:50] <scorpking> who are you connected to the net niall_ ?
[12:51] <niall_> ?
[12:51] <scorpking> how* heh
[12:51] <niall_> oh
[12:51] <scorpking> :)
[12:51] <niall_> adsl router
[12:51] <scorpking> oh ok
[12:52] <niall_> everything was fine until last night
[12:52] <firecrotch> Other thing that I'm thinking it could be is that MSN did make some kind of update that broke the programs you've tried, but not Pidgin?
[12:52] <firecrotch> Have you tried using Pidgin?
[12:52] <niall_> yes
[12:52] <scorpking> maltron: it might be /dev/sdc or sdb or something else
[12:52] <niall_> I tried Pidgin on windows
[12:52] <niall_> it doesn't work
[12:52] <firecrotch> That's really odd.
[12:52] <niall_> aMSN and Kopete I've tried on here and they don't work either
[12:52] <niall_> only Windows Live Messenger lets me connect
[12:53] <niall_> everything was fine until last night. I was signed in on like 3 accounts, had web cam on one and multiple conversations on the others, then all of a sudden everything just closed, and now it won't let me back on :(
[12:55] <maltron> scorpking: yeah, I don't think so.  It's actually a bit more complicated than than though
[12:55] <niall_> brb, I'm gonna reconnect to the internet and get a new IP
[12:55] <maltron> scorpking: normal cdroms seemt to mount to /dev/hda, but the eject cdrom command seems to want to eject hdb
[12:56] <scorpking> maltron: if you use the drive in k3b you can view the debug/output and then look at the complete command that k3b used
[12:56] <niall_> well it works now ¬_¬
[12:56] <maltron> scorpking: ok, lemme try that.
[12:57] <scorpking> maltron: that's after the cd burned
[12:57] <niall_> they must have blocked my IP or something
[12:58] <firecrotch> niall_: Never heard of them doing that before
[12:58] <scorpking> niall_: have you tried the removing the config directory for those programs in your home directory?
[12:59] <niall_> well I can connect now
[12:59] <scorpking> maybe do mv .pidgen .old or where ever it is
[12:59] <niall_> so I don't need to
[12:59] <scorpking> oh ok
[12:59] <niall_> pidgin is running on windows
[12:59] <niall_> I have Kopete and aMSN on Kubuntu
[12:59] <niall_> none of the 3 were working, I renewed my IP and now Kopete connected
[13:00] <scorpking> well, hope you find the problem. i have to go. cheers
[13:01] <niall_> I bet Microsoft blocked my IP from connecting using anything other than the official client
[13:02] <niall_> since I was on 3 MSN accounts at once with webcam and multi way conversations on all of them, maybe I was just using too much bandwidth for one person. So they chucked me off and stopped me using anything other than the official client, which naturally only allows one account at a time
[13:02] <niall_> speculation ;D
[13:05] <niall_> maybe I should test this theory
[13:09] <sigma_1234> how do you get a computer to run a cronjob as root? im trying to get my computer to shut itself down but it never works because it needr sudo authorization
[13:10] <frojnd> can anyone explain to me how can I use lkl - userspace keylogger for x86 architecture according to this README: http://pastebin.ca/875931  I'm in a dir: /usr/share/docs/lkl/ and I do this: lkl -l -k us_km -o loglkl.txt and in return I get: Started to log port 0x60. Keymap is us_km. The logfile is loglkl.txt.  unable to find keymap-file: No such file or directory a keymap is required!! run lkl with -k <keymap> What's up with this <keymap> ?
[13:10] <frojnd> sigma_1234, sudo shutdown -h time
[13:11] <sigma_1234> frojnd: but i want it to do it everyday automatically - it doesnt have a monitor
[13:12] <frojnd> sigma_1234, oh
[13:12] <frojnd> than u need to do itwith cronjob, but I don't know how
[13:13] <sigma_1234> i tried but it wont run the command because it doesnt have sudo permission to
[13:13] <stdin> sigma_1234: use "kdesu kcron" and edit the system crontab :)
[13:14] <sigma_1234> thanks stdin. il try that

[14:19] <BluesKaj> Howdy Folks :-)
[14:19] <DoomGuard> Does Kubuntu 7.10 have a firewall installed by default????
[14:19] <llutz> no
[14:19] <BluesKaj> !firewall
[14:19] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[14:21] <alteregolio> a firewall on linux
[14:21] <alteregolio> are you paralized by windows?
[14:22] <BluesKaj> DoomGuard, ihate to say you're suffering from too much MS culture of fear
[14:23] <BluesKaj> for good reason , I might add :(
[14:23] <DoomGuard> :P
[14:24] <DoomGuard> i have some probs with the LinuxDC++
[14:24] <hagabaka> why does "any other linux distribution" have firewall built-in?
[14:25] <xRaich[o]2x> hagabaka: iptables is part of the kernel
[14:26] <hagabaka> you can't remove it?
[14:26] <xRaich[o]2x> why would you want to do that?
[14:26] <SlimeyPete> you could probably hack it out of the kernel but I don't see why you'd want to
[14:26] <hagabaka> it's a package for me
[14:26] <hagabaka> well if you don't use networking why would you want it?
[14:26] <SlimeyPete> why not?
[14:26] <SlimeyPete> it does no harm
[14:26] <hagabaka> has no use either
[14:26] <SlimeyPete> so?
[14:27] <hagabaka> so if you want a miminal installation you would want to remove it
[14:27] <xRaich[o]2x> hagabaka: then compile the kernel by hand and remove iptables
[14:27] <SlimeyPete> well I'm sure embedded kernels don't include it, you can get rid of it at compilation time
[14:27] <hagabaka> then there are potentially other linux distributions that don't have firewall built-in :)
[14:28] <SlimeyPete> pedant ;p
[14:30] <BluesKaj> i don't see the point of minimal installations anymore , even on a 10yr old pc.
[14:31] <BluesKaj> which wifey still uses with XP ...she's afraid to switch to linux, which would run much faster :(
[14:32] <Lynoure> BluesKaj: what scares her about it?
[14:34] <BluesKaj> she's been playing  a solitaire game for about 5 yrs and has built up a 'number of games played' database which her scores are based on.
[14:35] <BluesKaj> doesn't want to lose it
[14:35] <alesan> format her hard disk
[14:36] <unagi> anyone here use compiz on kde?
[14:36] <alesan> after she's disconnected from that thing, she won't have any problem switching to linux :)
[14:36] <niall_> is there anyway to back it up?
[14:36] <BluesKaj> old pc .. I'm hoping it dies soon , so i can set up a new pc for her
[14:36] <niall_> and then run window solitaire in wine
[14:37] <frojnd> does anyone here uses torrentflux? I changed download directory and chmod -w it, but I'm still not able to see it ... any ideas why is that ?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> ever heard of 'pretty good solitaire' ?
[14:37] <unagi> !compiz

[15:14] <[pyro]> hey guys, this has been driving me nuts as i cant seem to find any info anywhere about it. I have my wifi setup and running sweet using knetworkmanager, but my network is a wpa-psk network with a hidden ssid. Each time i start up my laptop i have to right click network manager and click "connect to other wireless connection" and fill out the details and it connects. Is there a way for it to remember these details and connect auto?
[15:14] <unagi_> yea so kopete is crashing with Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-unagi" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.................what does that mean
[15:15] <unagi> =(

[15:18] <jeanpat> ... Sorry
[15:20] <mefisto__> all my videos are showing wrong aspect ratio in xine-based players (too narrow). But if I disable scaling the aspect is correct. any ideas?
[15:21] <unagi> disable scaling when you want to watch a video?
[15:21] <mefisto__> unagi: that means videos are a fixed size, usually too small
[15:23] <admin91> how I change screen resolution in kubuntu?
[15:23] <admin91> and how about the mp3 files that I can`t play?

[15:24] <H_O_S> I get the following werror , whatever i try to apt-get : Package blender is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package blender has no installation candidate. Anyone knows why ?
[15:25] <SlimeyPete> H_O_S: try doing "sudo apt-get update" first
[15:27] <unagi> doees kde not support brightness keys?
[15:27] <unagi> or brightness period?
[15:27] <SlimeyPete> mine work, but I think they're hardware-based
[15:27] <SlimeyPete> the power management brightness works too
[15:28] <BluesKaj> H_O_S, maybe enabling the backports in your sources.list will get you access to it.
[15:29] <unagi> where would i find that SlimeyPete
[15:29] <H_O_S> SlimeyPete: That worked great :D
[15:29] <H_O_S> thanks :)
[15:30] <SlimeyPete> unagi: dunno where it's configure to be honest. I just know that the screen dims when I unplug the power pack.
[15:30] <SlimeyPete> H_O_S: no problem
[15:30] <SlimeyPete> :)
[15:31] <unagi> i wish i had more control

[15:32] <The_ManU_212> i wanted to know if it is able to specify up and downstrokes
[15:33] <mefisto__> unagi: you could try different keyboard layouts in system settings>regional & language>keyboard layout
[15:33] <BluesKaj> !tuxguitar | The_ManU_212

[15:35] <admin91> I have both Windows and Linux and I want to use the bootmanager from windows instead of Grub. How can I do this?
[15:35] <BluesKaj> The_ManU_212, try this site :  http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/
[15:35] <The_ManU_212> thx
[15:36] <The_ManU_212> but i didnt found any solution or answer there

[15:36] <admin91>   I have both Windows and Linux and I want to use the bootmanager from windows instead of Grub. How can I do this?
[15:37] <BluesKaj> The_ManU_212, nothing in the forums ?
[15:37] <sp9> Hi
[15:38] <sp9> I just wanted to know if the hardy alpha release already comes with kde 4.0 or not. if not i will install gutsy and after that install kde 4.0
[15:39] <The_ManU_212> BluesKaj: found nothing for upstroke/downstroke adn wheere is the search function BluesKaj
[15:40] <BluesKaj> admin91, there is no bootmanager in windows , just the Master Boot Record and it doesn't accomodate Linux , you're stuck with grub
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> nah
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> it can be done
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> Windows does include a reasonable boot manager
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> it just doesn'tusually shows its face
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> http://www.linux.com/articles/113945
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> admin91: looks like there are instructions here ^^
[15:40] <SlimeyPete> but I haven't followed them myself
[15:41] <BluesKaj> thats' for 2 drives , does that make a diff?
[15:42] <BluesKaj> BBL, errands
[15:42] <admin91> thanks
[15:44] <MGalaxy> SCIM & SKIM dont work in Firefox & Openoffice @ Kubuntu 7.10, any solution?
[15:51] <Raizard> Can anyone help me? I have to connect using WPA... but K Network Assistant fails, and i don't know how to configure Knetworkmanager
[15:52] <Arwen> huh, fglrx AIGLX actually kind of works
[15:53] <sub[t]rnl> Raizard➜ right click on the knetworkmanager icon in kicker, go to Connect to other wireless network.  You can specify WPA in there
[15:53] <Raizard> i know nut
[15:53] <Raizard> but*
[15:53] <Raizard> i don't have this option
[15:53] <Raizard> i only have Manual configuration
[15:54] <Raizard> if i try the manual configuration i can only use WEp
[15:55] <sub[t]rnl> Raizard➜ you don't have a "Connect to other wireless network" option?
[15:55] <Raizard> no
[15:55] <admin91>  I tried "dd if=/dev/hdb5 of=bootsect.lnx  size=512 count=1" but "unrecognized operand seze=512"
[15:55] <admin91> * size
[15:56] <Raizard> the icon in the toolbar is like i am connected, but if i wait with the cursor on it, it says " Manual configuration"
[15:56] <sub[t]rnl> right click on it
[15:57] <Raizard> done
[15:57] <Raizard> but this option is not here
[15:57] <SlimeyPete> admin91: "count=512" might work
[15:57] <sub[t]rnl> odd
[15:57] <Raizard> i have only Manual configuration
[15:58] <Raizard> yes i know... The firts time i used it there was Connect to etc...
[15:58] <SlimeyPete> if you have ever used Manual Configuration, Networkmanager will have effectively disabled itself
[15:58] <SlimeyPete> so some of the options will dissapear
[15:58] <Raizard> yes i used manual configuration
[15:58] <sub[t]rnl> ew, good point.  Delete any lines related to your device in the /etc/network/interfaces fie
[15:58] <sigma_> my server is acting really weird in linux. its a compaq d500 - the cpu fan is on full speed as if its straining the cpu when its actually doing nothing and when i use it as a local webserver i have to wait ages for the pages to load (it acts as a LAMP server)
[15:58] <sub[t]rnl> s/fie/file
[15:58] <sigma_> any idea what the problem is?
[15:59] <SlimeyPete> Raizard: "kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces". Then comment out (#) all the wireless bits (usually wifi0 or ath0)
[15:59] <SlimeyPete> then restart networkmanager or reboot
[15:59] <Raizard> so i have to comment all with wlan0?
[15:59] <admin91> it says dd: opening '/dev/hdb5' : Permission denied
[16:00] <SlimeyPete> Raizard: yeah
[16:00] <sigma_> oh and is there a way i can get the kde gui not to start automatically when the PC boots up?
[16:00] <sub[t]rnl> Raizard➜ correct, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[16:00] <sub[t]rnl> sigma_➜ you could comment out the line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[16:01] <Raizard> thx very much. i'll try and then go back here
[16:01] <SlimeyPete> sigma_: or you could do "sudo update-rc.d kdm remove"
[16:03] <ThomasD> hi
[16:03] <ThomasD> trying to burn an iso to a dvd with k3b
[16:04] <ThomasD> I get this error
[16:04] <ThomasD> Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0'
[16:04] <ThomasD> :-( unable to O_EXCL /dev/scd0: someone was in time to remount?
[16:04] <ThomasD> first time this happend to me :/
[16:04] <ThomasD> usually it works fine
[16:06] <niall_> how do I rip a DVD?
[16:06] <niall_> when I choose the option in K3B nothing happens
[16:06] <niall_> is there a package I need?
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> if it's copy-protected you'll need libcss but I won't give any more info than that as it is illegal
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> at least, illegal in most countries ;)
[16:07] <niall_> illegal to tell me?
[16:07] <ThomasD> SlimeyPete: got libdvdcss2 ;)
[16:07] <niall_> :P
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> niall_: no, but against channel rules
[16:07] <niall_> weak
[16:07] <hydrogen> not really I don't think
[16:07] <hydrogen> !libdvdcss
[16:07] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[16:08] <hydrogen> yep
[16:08] <SlimeyPete> exactly, mentioning libdvdcss is fine, anything more probably isn't ;)
[16:08] <niall_> I can watch DVDs fine
[16:08] <niall_> I just want to rip the audio so I can add it to my Amarok collection
[16:09]  * SlimeyPete wipes the brown smudge off his nose
[16:09] <niall_> it's a dvd of a live show
[16:09] <ThomasD> niall_: http://f0rked.com/projects/simplerip
[16:09] <ThomasD> niall_: thats how I do it ;)
[16:09] <ThomasD> works like a charm
[16:10] <niall_> can I rip to flac? ;]
[16:10] <ThomasD> niall_: if you specify it has to use flac codec
[16:10] <Raizard> I'm back
[16:11] <Raizard> It works!!!
[16:11] <ThomasD> niall_: you'll only have to use the # rip audio track  part
[16:11] <unagi> anyone know how to get brightness buttons functional in kde?
[16:11] <Raizard> thanks a lot guys
[16:11] <Raizard> cya
[16:11] <niall_> hmm
[16:12] <ThomasD> niall_: check mencoder manual for further specifications, and have a look al #mplayer ande #mencoder

[16:20] <hydrogen> !find krandrtray
[16:20] <ubotu> File krandrtray found in kcontrol, kdebase-dbg, kdebase-workspace
[16:20] <hydrogen> maybe its only a kde4 package.. I thought there was a kde3 one
[16:21] <sigma_1234> is the memtest in grub supposed to use alot of the processor at times?
[16:21] <brmassa_> guys, i installed the FIREFOX ans its FLASH plugin. Then i asked to KONQUEROR to scan the plugins to detect the new flash. However, it now shows an error on every page with flash
[16:21] <brmassa_> about a nspluginviwer
[16:21] <sigma_1234> how did you install flash?
[16:21] <Sigma16> well i wanted to know how to open up the config file that contains resolution... i had to modify it yesterday cuz it had me set to a amx of 640 x 480...
[16:22] <flipstar> Sigma16: try wmressel > sudo apt-get install wmressel
[16:22] <mefisto__> where am I likely to find standard kde button images (eg, back and forward button images)?
[16:22] <flipstar> Sigma16: it is in the xorg.conf at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:22] <brmassa_> sigma_1234: thru firefox. using its auto detection.
[16:22] <Sigma16> thats downloadin
[16:23] <Sigma16> yea i 4get how top open it... havent used linux in months cuz of lack of net with it till recently...

[16:23] <unagi> what is the equiv of gnomes sessions in kubuntu
[16:23] <Sigma16> yea how do i open it in shell..
[16:24] <sigma_1234> !flash
[16:24] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:24] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[16:24] <wimpies> where can I find an installable CD for 64 Intel kubuntu ?
[16:24] <unagi> !session
[16:24] <ubotu> To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[16:24] <Sigma16> how do i open xorg.conf
[16:25] <Sigma16> in terminal
[16:25] <mefisto__> Sigma16: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or "sudoedit" instead of "sudo nano")
[16:25] <Sigma16> yea i was missing the word nano

[16:41] <aleksanteri> yasahiro, i don't think you can, but you can always hide it

[16:42] <yasahiro> wow.. >_<
[16:51] <no1uknow> I have a newbie question
[16:52] <no1uknow> in knetworkmanager when I select a connection I get the message "waiting for key from KWAllet"
[16:52] <no1uknow> just hangs with this message
[16:52] <flipstar> is kwallet open ?
[16:52] <unagi> i cannot figure out why kopete doesnt run for me
[16:53] <flipstar> unagi: does it print an error message ?
[16:53] <no1uknow> yes
[16:53] <unagi> no...........it opens then goes gray
[16:53] <no1uknow> flipstar: yes
[16:54] <flipstar> hm and the key definitiv is in kwallet ?
[16:54] <flipstar> unagi: maybe you should try to run it in a konsole an see what happens
[16:54] <no1uknow> actually I don't see it in there now... not sure what happened
[16:55] <unagi> http://pastebin.org/17127 flipstar
[16:56] <flipstar> hm
[16:58] <flipstar> unagi: do you have permissions on $HOME/.kde ?
[16:58] <unagi> i dunno
[16:58] <unagi> all i did was isntall kubuntu-desktop
[16:59] <MGalaxy> when I use "export LC_CTYPE=fa_IR.UTF-8; openoffice" , openoffice works well with my keyboard, but not when I set LC_CTYPE separatly, WHY?
[16:59] <unagi> sudo kopete gives me X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 171
[16:59] <unagi> im sorry it gives me Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-unagi" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
[17:00] <flipstar> hm you did try do run it as root ?
[17:00] <unagi> sudo kopete gives me Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-unagi" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
[17:01] <flipstar> no dont run it as root
[17:01] <SlimeyPete> unagi: "sudo chown root /var/tmp/kdecache-unagi"
[17:01] <SlimeyPete> or not
[17:01] <unagi> not running it as root gives me the pastebin
[17:01] <SlimeyPete> sorry, kopete eh
[17:01] <SlimeyPete> don't do the chown thing, shouldn't be running it as root (very bad idea)
[17:02] <unagi> ugh i just did it
[17:02] <unagi> how do i reverse chown
[17:02] <SlimeyPete> sudo chown unagi /var/tmp/kdecache-unagi
[17:02] <unagi> thatll take off root as chown?
[17:02] <flipstar> yes
[17:03] <SlimeyPete> yep, it'll make you the owner
[17:03] <SlimeyPete> sorry, I had misread your problem
[17:03] <unagi> now kopete just hangs
[17:03] <unagi> doesnt load, no error
[17:04] <flipstar> and the output from konsole ?
[17:04] <unagi> nothing
[17:04] <sigma16> bwahahahaha
[17:04] <sigma16> so tell me
[17:04] <sigma16> why is linux all that better den other OS's
[17:04] <flipstar> linux is open source dude
[17:04] <unagi> because you say than with den
[17:05] <unagi> you may go now
[17:05] <sigma16> i know its open source
[17:05] <sigma16> but i dont know how to code linux...
[17:05] <sigma16> only php and other web languages
[17:05] <unagi> neither do i
[17:05] <unagi> what is your point
[17:05] <SlimeyPete> *shrug* it's free in both senses of the word
[17:05] <SlimeyPete> and it has a package manager, fewer viruses, lots and lots of free apps.
[17:05] <unagi> wow i uninstalled and reinstalled kopete.........still hangs with no output
[17:06] <SlimeyPete> and kubuntu is prettier than XP IMHO.
[17:06] <unagi> sigma16: its plain and simple..........no resources dedicated to stupid authentication software.....
[17:06] <unagi> more cpu and memory dedicated to my animation programs
[17:06] <unagi> yea so........how can i debug kopete now with no shell output
[17:06] <flipstar> you using the composite extension unagi ?
[17:07] <unagi> im using compiz
[17:07] <jpatrick> !ot | sigma16
[17:07] <ubotu> sigma16: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[17:07] <flipstar> ah
[17:07] <unagi> does kopete and compiz not get along?
[17:07] <flipstar> normally it should
[17:07] <jpatrick> !compiz > unagi
[17:08] <unagi> jpatrick: i can appricate your willingness to help and policing the channel but that info doesnt help my problem
[17:08] <ol_dude67> unagi, which kde are you using 3 or 4?
[17:08] <unagi> 4
[17:09] <jpatrick> unagi: it says ()or it should - say that you can still have compiz goodies in kde :)
[17:09] <sigma16> can u upgreade for 3 to 4?
[17:09] <unagi> and i know this........and i do have compiz goodies
[17:10] <ol_dude67> unagi, have you asked in #kubuntu-kde4, i know there are others who have had this problem as well.
[17:10] <unagi> ah i got it to hang with output again
[17:11] <unagi> ty ill try there
[17:11] <ol_dude67> unagi, its just a suggestion and your welcome
[17:11] <sigma16> yo
[17:11] <sigma16> can u upgrade from 3 to 4?
[17:11] <sigma16> i didnt rly c a way to
[17:12] <unagi> sigma16: you dont make sense my man
[17:12] <sigma16> sry if its a dumb question
[17:12] <unagi> you came in here asking why this os is better than the rest........
[17:12] <sigma16> can u upgrade from KE3 to KDE4
[17:12] <unagi> which indicates you are ignorant to the ways of linux
[17:12] <sigma16> ive had little linux experience
[17:12] <unagi> now you are asking if you can upgrade from 3 to 4 which........is an ignorant question with an educated undertone
[17:12] <ol_dude67> well you can run them side by side which is better as kde4 is still quite a bit buggy, yet.
[17:12] <sigma16> and all of that experience has been bad...
[17:12] <unagi> why has your experience been bad
[17:13] <sigma16> fedora corrupted my hard drive...
[17:13] <sigma16> my net didnt work for 6 months....
[17:13] <unagi> what...?
