[18:20] <Accidus> I'm having problem with audio. It used to work, but then I installed Skype. Once installed, audio worked, but the mic didn't. Now audio doesn't work either. I can't say for sure that Skype caused it, but it may have been the cause. I'm running Kubuntu Hardy...
[18:21] <elbasan> how I know it is working
[18:21] <martosurf> elbasan: did you try running any cammera supported application? please take a look if cammera is now supported on any linux app
[18:21] <Accidus> I've tried reconfiguring using the system menu and the kmix app
[18:21] <Accidus> None work.
[18:22] <lascar> Accidus: No sound system-wide, or just Skype?
[18:22] <elbasan> I tryed on digkam-- add new camera but i can see my camera name from the list
[18:22] <Accidus> system wide
[18:22] <elbasan> and I click autodetect but nothink
[18:23] <lascar> accidus: you're not using a notebook, are you?
[18:23] <Accidus> Nope, table PC
[18:23] <martosurf> elbasan: can't help, don't know to do pal, sorry =(
[18:23] <elbasan> thanks
[18:23] <Accidus> Another thing, in the Sound System dialog, when I change the settings and click "apply", it says it tries to restart the sound system
[18:23] <Accidus> There's a percentage bar appearing
[18:24] <lascar> and it hangs?
[18:24] <Accidus> and whenever it gets to 100%, it zeros again
[18:24] <eagles0513875> Accidus: outa curiosity what kinda tablet pc is it
[18:24] <Accidus> not tablet
[18:24] <Accidus> Table
[18:24] <Accidus> You know
[18:24] <lascar> desktop.
[18:24] <Accidus> The usual
[18:24] <eagles0513875> desktop
[18:24] <Accidus> yes
[18:24] <eagles0513875> lol
[18:24] <Accidus> :-)
[18:24] <eagles0513875> lol whoops
[18:24] <Accidus> Sorry about that
[18:24] <eagles0513875> its ok
[18:24] <Accidus> Language difference
[18:24] <Accidus> :-)
[18:24] <Accidus> Anyway, the weird thing about the percentage bar is that it slows down
[18:25] <Accidus> The first time it goes from 0% to 100% quite quickly
[18:25] <lascar> accidus: what did you do in kmix?
[18:25] <Accidus> Then it do it again, more slowly
[18:25] <Accidus> Then slower yet, etc.
[18:25] <Accidus> I thought maybe things were muted or whatever
[18:25] <Accidus> So I toggled the mute buttons on and off
[18:25] <tekstacy> !apt-fix
[18:26] <Accidus> ubottu: was that aimed at me?
[18:26] <lascar> elbasan: what's your problem?
[18:26] <Accidus> Oops
[18:26] <Accidus> lol
[18:26] <Accidus> What an impression I must be making
[18:26] <tekstacy> :)
[18:27] <lascar> :-)
[18:27] <eagles0513875> Accidus: lol its funny seeing people talk to the bot
[18:27] <Accidus> For my case it can be argued that I'm after a full day at work
[18:27] <Accidus> So I'm allowed some slack, right? :-)
[18:27] <elbasan> lascar I have a digkam but it is not working on my kubuntu
[18:27] <elbasan> and I am new with that
[18:28] <eagles0513875> Accidus: you new to kubuntu and the world of linux
[18:28] <lascar> elbasan: detected?
[18:28] <elbasan> not
[18:28] <Accidus> Well... I've had a linux os 5 years ago in uni, but I can't say I was a specialist even then
[18:28] <Accidus> Recently I switched again
[18:28] <Accidus> So you could say I'm a newbie to Linux
[18:28] <eagles0513875> im actually working on my first level of certification
[18:29] <Accidus> Certification to what?
[18:29] <elbasan> lascar any idea
[18:29] <eagles0513875> Accidus: linux certification from linux professional institute lpi.org
[18:29] <kumamoto> could be lpic
[18:29] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: yes it is
[18:29] <kumamoto> too late
[18:30] <lascar> elbasan: has kubuntu detected it?
[18:30] <elbasan> no
[18:30] <Accidus> Ah. Good luck! Wish I knew that much...
[18:30] <eagles0513875> its worth doing em i think
[18:30] <elbasan> I go to digkam add new kam. i dont see my camera name on the list
[18:30] <lascar> elbasan: "kdesu kcontrol" in konsole.
[18:30] <kumamoto> i hear if you have played with ubuntu or it variants you can actually pass LPIC I with no issue
[18:30] <eagles0513875> im doing part 2 of the first level of certification going to learn bout securit networking customizing the kernel apache sendmail and a bunch of other stuff
[18:31] <elbasan> O boy what i have to do lascar
[18:31] <Accidus> So... Any idea what I can do in order to fix the problem? Or at least diagnoze it better?
[18:31] <lascar> elbasan: under Peripherals
[18:31] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: actually seems like the exam focuses on rpm based distros like centos more then kubuntu
[18:31] <lascar> go to Digital Camera
[18:32] <elbasan> wher is
[18:32] <kumamoto> man then I am way behind the new LPIC at first it was more debian oriented
[18:32] <kumamoto> see what i know
[18:32] <lascar> elbasan: take your time, "Peripherals" is the fifth listed item from the top.
[18:33] <lascar> elbasan: and "Digital Camera" is just underneath it
[18:34] <elbasan> under system
[18:34] <elbasan> on the K menu
[18:34] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: its both but more focused on rpm based distros
[18:34] <lascar> elbasan: go to k menu
[18:34] <eagles0513875> they do mention dpkg and stuff like that and other debian based features but focus more on rpms based distros
[18:34] <elbasan> ok
[18:34] <lascar> elbasan: then run command
[18:34] <elbasan> ok
[18:35] <lascar> type in "kdesu kcontrol"
[18:35] <lascar> (withouth the quotes)
[18:35] <kumamoto> good to know
[18:35] <kumamoto> was working to get my RHCE
[18:35] <elbasan> ok
[18:35] <kumamoto> and some LPIC before end of this year at least
[18:35] <elbasan> I ma on digital kamera
[18:36] <elbasan> nothing
[18:36] <lascar> add camera
[18:36] <elbasan> ok
[18:36] <elbasan> it's not on the list
[18:36] <elbasan> I have a largan chameleonmega
[18:37] <lascar> hmm...google it?
[18:37] <lascar> sorry i can't help further, elbasan.
[18:37] <elbasan> thanks man
[18:38] <Accidus> Hmm... Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
[18:38] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: if u do lpi ull be well versed in rpm based distros
[18:38] <Accidus> Or at least, what can I do to find out what's causing it?
[18:38] <elbasan> what do you think can wine that runs windows applications run my camera
[18:38] <elbasan> lascar
[18:39]  * pim is back.
[18:39] <lascar> elbasan: from my wine-ing experience, i'm gonna say, "it's a tossup."
[18:39] <kumamoto> I guess I concerntrate on rpm --verify <some package> instead of dpkg -i --configure -a
[18:39] <lascar> elbasan: search for the web for a native solution first.
[18:39] <elbasan> ok thanks man
[18:40] <kumamoto> so yum packaging is included ?
[18:41] <Accidus> Anyone?
[18:41] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: yep part one is heaviest part of exam is cli stuff
[18:41] <eagles0513875> just start part 2 on friday
[18:41] <eagles0513875> !patience | Accidus
[18:42] <Accidus> Of course, sorry :-|
[18:42] <kumamoto> multiple choice or all practical?
[18:42] <eagles0513875> fill in blanks multiple choice
[18:42] <eagles0513875> Accidus: you will get used to it in here
[18:42] <lascar> (indeed, Accidus)
[18:43] <tinin> Hi, I'd like to buy a tabletpc, how do I know if the touch screen will work with kubuntu?
[18:43] <lascar> (you don't) ;-)
[18:43] <Accidus> I hope, only as an assiter, not assistee :)
[18:54] <kumamoto> anyone played with the new wine-1.0
[18:55] <eagles0513875> i wanna
[18:55] <eagles0513875> lol
[18:55] <alan__> is it good?
[18:55] <alan__> Any new game supported?
[18:56] <kumamoto> I haven't tried it, I was going to upgrade my workstation at work and see if I can install a game
[18:57] <kumamoto> wait..... isn't there a app for installing windows games in linux
[18:57] <kumamoto> I forget the name
[18:57] <pim> Of course not. It was in a code-freeze until 1.0
[18:57] <partylib> hi
[18:57] <partylib>  hi is thier  a way to get ubuntu to log on to a active directory domain
[18:58] <eagles0513875> partylib: i think its ldap you need im not sure
[18:58] <partylib> oh
[18:59] <eagles0513875> !ldap
[19:00] <kumamoto> come to think of it , what would be the proper use of LDAP
[19:02] <FSHero> hello everyone; How would I go about compiling the rt2570 module for my wireless NIC using module assistant?
[19:03] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: its the linux cersion of active directory
[19:04] <kumamoto> forgive my ignorance what is active directory used for?
[19:04] <kumamoto> I haven't used windows since WIN98 I wouldn't have a clue
[19:04] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: domains i think
[19:04] <eagles0513875> \join #windows
[19:04] <kumamoto> oh hells no
[19:04] <kumamoto> lol
[19:05] <eagles0513875> wasnt saying u i wanted to join
[19:05] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: back
[19:06] <FSHero> In Hardy Heron, the font in Konsole looks a bit unclear... is it anti-aliased?
[19:06] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Directory
[19:06] <kumamoto> now I will have do some research on LDAP and see if I can use it in the mean time try to build a uber NAS server that will be running freeNAS
[19:06] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: you trying to back up windows machines
[19:06] <eagles0513875> server that is
[19:07] <Lenaud01> there any software that can do incremental backups on a remote webserver ?
[19:07] <kumamoto> I don't have single windows machine in my house
[19:07] <kumamoto> Lenaud01: Backula
[19:08] <kumamoto> or it is Bakula
[19:09] <Accidus> Thanks for that guildelines page. I've been in support forums for quite some time (only not on Linux, obviously :-)) and it sums it up nicely :-)
[19:09] <Lenaud01> I dont use windows at all either
[19:09] <Lenaud01> use too
[19:09] <Lenaud01> installing Bacula thakns
[19:09] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: i only have to play games
[19:10] <eagles0513875> my desktop i was using wine and i was able to play games
[19:10] <kumamoto> Lenaud01: I haven't used it in that way but make sure it has that feature before installing it
[19:10] <eagles0513875> would lov to open a business to port games to linux for the manufacturers
[19:10] <eagles0513875> im actually in the process of converting my college ovr to linux
[19:10] <kumamoto> eagles0513875: games I used cedega
[19:10] <eagles0513875> they might start by switching to an ldap server
[19:10] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: to cheap to pay
[19:11] <kumamoto> eagles0513875: me too, here comes usenet
[19:11] <eagles0513875> lol
[19:11] <eagles0513875> ur tempting me
[19:11] <eagles0513875> *your
[19:11] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: one thing i need to crack is the rar file of crossover that i have
[19:11] <eagles0513875> its got a password on it
[19:11] <kumamoto> eagles0513875: I used it at work since we got bandwidth on steriods
[19:12] <eagles0513875> lol
[19:12] <eagles0513875> dont get me started bout that my isp is crud
[19:12] <kumamoto> there is a password cracking tool can use
[19:12] <kumamoto> check your install software on your start menu
[19:13] <kumamoto> forget the name
[19:13] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: whats it called lol
[19:13] <kumamoto> gimme a sec see if I find it
[19:13] <kumamoto> oooo ...  ophcrack
[19:13] <kumamoto> something to that effect
[19:14] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: ya i need to get that off the server at work tomorrow lol
[19:14] <kumamoto> I don't know if 'John the Ripper' can do that for you since it most check /etc/passwd file
[19:14] <eagles0513875> can it crack files
[19:15] <eagles0513875> this is an encrypted rar file
[19:15] <kumamoto> ah .... didn't get that encrypted part
[19:15] <Accidus> I'll ask again, here's the full summary: I've recently installed Kubuntu on a *desktop* PC (:-)) and my audio was working nicely. Last week I've installed Skype. I've tried using it, and it said "Problem with audio playback". At that point, my audio was still working, but not the mic. Several days later (perhaps one day? don't remember) my audio stopped working as well. I've trying the "sound system" configuration menu and the kmix
[19:15] <Accidus> application, but couldn't make it work. In addition, when I restart the sound system, it restarts itself continuously, so there may be some problem there. Where do I go from here? Need more diagnosis? I'm new to Linux, but I'm very willing, and able, to learn. Sorry for the long message...
[19:15] <kumamoto> man
[19:15] <NiKeCRu666> hello
[19:16] <kumamoto> you know if it is pgp or gnupg
[19:16] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: later dude
[19:16] <kumamoto> or any other one
[19:16] <eagles0513875> off to watch the italy spain match
[19:16] <kumamoto> ok man
[19:16] <eagles0513875> VIVA ITALIA
[19:16]  * Accidus wonders if he's bough some life-long enemies.
[19:16] <kumamoto> ah soccer I miss it
[19:16] <NiKeCRu666> does someone know how can i mount my mo3 player SANSA CLIP 2GB in kubuntu, when i conect it it does not appear on my desktop
[19:16] <kumamoto> don't like watching but love playing
[19:16] <NiKeCRu666> mp3*
[19:17] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: lsusb
[19:17] <NiKeCRu666> lsusb?
[19:17] <kumamoto> check if it is listed using lsusb command
[19:18] <kumamoto> ubotu
[19:18] <kumamoto> ubottu
[19:18] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: bot
[19:18] <eagles0513875> !ubottu
[19:18] <NiKeCRu666> ok :)
[19:18] <kumamoto> forgot how to use ubotu
[19:18] <eagles0513875> that sounds like fun picking and searching his brain
[19:18] <eagles0513875> ! is the key there
[19:19] <kumamoto> is it '/ubottu' '/ubotu' damn
[19:19] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, no it's not listed there
[19:19] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: does it have to powered up
[19:19] <eagles0513875> lol whoops
[19:19] <kumamoto> the or uses the usb connector for power
[19:20] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, yea too
[19:20] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: its '!ubottu'
[19:20] <mefisto__> Accidus: do you have more than one soundcard?
[19:20] <Accidus> Nope
[19:20] <kumamoto> eagles0513875: thx that is what I looking for
[19:20] <Accidus> It's an onboard card
[19:20] <Accidus> If I recall correctly
[19:21] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: remove it and reconnect after .... say 10 secs
[19:21] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: im pumped about part 2 of first level of lpi cert
[19:21] <eagles0513875> learning about apache send mail iptables tons of kool stuff customizing kernel and compiling it
[19:21] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, it's a sansa clip 2GB, it's supposed that it takes energy from laptop to recharge internal battery
[19:21] <kumamoto> if not reboot your box and see if usb is actually enabled in the bios assuming your connecting to the onboard usb port
[19:22] <kumamoto> it is a laptop
[19:22] <eagles0513875> kumamoto: y doesnt he run lsusb to see if its even being seen
[19:22] <eagles0513875> or mounted by default
[19:22] <NiKeCRu666> it's not =/
[19:22] <kumamoto> lsusb doesn't see it
[19:22] <eagles0513875> NiKeCRu666: is it showing up in /dev
[19:22] <eagles0513875> wait not in ther
[19:22] <eagles0513875> in /media
[19:24] <NiKeCRu666> uhmn i'll se i think it's not
[19:24] <kumamoto> what about dmesg or fdisk
[19:24] <NiKeCRu666> nope it's not in /media
[19:25] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, dmesg? sorry i'm a new user of kubuntu
[19:25] <kumamoto> reboot your laptop with the SANSA clip connected
[19:25] <NiKeCRu666> ok
[19:25] <NiKeCRu666> i'll be back =)
[19:26] <kumamoto> make sure your bios has usb enabled
[19:26] <NiKeCRu666> but i have a USB hard disk connected now and it's listed in /media
[19:27] <NiKeCRu666> and it's listed when i put the comand lsusb
[19:27] <kumamoto> man u sure that clip actually works
[19:27] <kumamoto> just asking
[19:27] <NiKeCRu666> yeah
[19:27] <NiKeCRu666> hahaha of course it works
[19:27] <kumamoto> ok
[19:27] <NiKeCRu666> actually when i conect in the other computer with windows it works
[19:28] <NiKeCRu666> and i can add songs and everything
[19:28] <kumamoto> I take the other usb drive is sucking all the power from the other usb thus ... making the SANSA clip inept
[19:29] <NiKeCRu666> oh ok, i pluuged in my SANSA CLIP and it's turned on, and says conected, but it's not listed in my laptop
[19:29] <spyke> hi all - anyone here know a lot about hdd's and partitioning? I have a hard drive that WAS formatted with 2 partitions, one fat32 the other reiserfs, I reformatted with gparted to one ext3 instead, no error messages, until I try to mount it in the Disks & Filesystems:
[19:29] <spyke> The system reported: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
[19:29] <spyke> missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[19:29] <NiKeCRu666> and my SANSA clip is not charging, it getting discharged =/
[19:29] <kumamoto> see the other is sucking the power
[19:30] <NiKeCRu666> ok i'll unpplug the other device =)
[19:30] <NiKeCRu666> ok done
[19:30] <NiKeCRu666> same
[19:30] <kumamoto> spyke: sudo mount -t <filesystem> /dev/hdx /mnt/point
[19:30] <kumamoto> something to that effect
[19:30] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, same still not working
[19:30] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, still discharging
[19:31] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, still unrecognized
[19:31] <kumamoto>  so sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /media/newdrive
[19:31] <kumamoto> spyke: does fdisk show all partitions
[19:31] <NiKeCRu666> ok
[19:31] <NiKeCRu666> i'll try that
[19:31] <spyke> kumamoto: I get the same error message as in Disks & filesystems
[19:31] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, is that for me? ---> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /media/newdrive
[19:32] <el1te> hey all i was in here early in the am today and i asked about using kubuntu 8.04 kde remix live cd with btaudio module....someone said it dont work with kubuntu...anyone know if this is true
[19:32] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666:  no
[19:32] <NiKeCRu666> ok
[19:32] <spyke> fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdb
[19:32] <NiKeCRu666> i'll try rebooting my computer with the sansa clip plugged in
[19:32] <NiKeCRu666> brb
[19:32] <kumamoto> spyke: what is the numerical value of the ext3 partition /dev/sdbx what is x
[19:32] <spyke> kumamoto: fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdb
[19:33] <spyke> kumamoto: just sdb - there's one primary partition on it
[19:33] <spyke> kumamoto: no number
[19:33] <kumamoto> have your formatted it in ext3 as far as you know
[19:33] <kumamoto> there has to be number
[19:34] <spyke> kumamoto: maybe that's the problem?? I've formatted it in both ext2, ext3 and rejserfs with the same results
[19:34] <kumamoto> if that is the only partition then the number is 1
[19:35] <spyke> kumamoto: there is no number - maybe I gparted it wrong? I just deleted all the partitions on it and created one big new partition, result: /dev/sdb
[19:35] <kumamoto> ext3 formatting use this command mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 if that doesn't work go into fdisk and recreate the partition
[19:36] <spyke> kumamoto: mke2fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/sdb1
[19:36] <kumamoto> ok what is the result of fdisk /dev/sdb
[19:37] <spyke> Unable to open /dev/sdb
[19:37] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, ok it's working now my SANSA CLIP 2GB
[19:37] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: nice
[19:37] <kumamoto> hope it is charging now
[19:38] <spyke> kumamoto: maybe sudo fdisk /dev/sdb ? THat gives me a result...
[19:38] <NiKeCRu666> yup, it's charging now, but i think if i unpplug it and then plug it again it will not work
[19:38] <spyke> The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729
[19:38] <spyke> There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
[19:38] <spyke> 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
[19:39] <spyke> 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
[19:39] <spyke> kumamoto: and how I have the "Command" promp in fdisk
[19:39] <spyke> not sure what do do now ;)
[19:40] <kumamoto> pull up konsole
[19:40] <spyke> yes?
[19:40] <kumamoto> do a sudo -i
[19:40] <kumamoto> and enter your password
[19:40] <spyke> done
[19:41] <kumamoto> no sudo this time
[19:41] <kumamoto> fdisk /dev/sdb
[19:41] <kumamoto> then use 'p'
[19:41] <spyke> Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>6 bytes
[19:41] <spyke> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
[19:41] <kumamoto> good
[19:42] <spyke> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[19:42] <spyke> Disk identifier: 0xd990d990
[19:42] <spyke> then: /dev/sdb1               1        9729    78148161   83  Linux
[19:42] <spyke> that's all
[19:43] <kumamoto> ok
[19:43] <kumamoto> hit 'd'
[19:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> !paste
[19:43] <kumamoto> forgot to tell you to use pastebin
[19:43] <kumamoto> for the full output
[19:43] <spyke> kumamoto: selected partition 1
[19:43] <kumamoto> yes
[19:44] <spyke> sorry - i'll do pastebin next time
[19:44] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, ok it's working now my SANSA CLIP 2GB, but i think if i unplug it and then i plug it again it stop working and is not recongnized
[19:44] <kumamoto> hit 'p' to verify the partition is clear
[19:44] <spyke> it's clear
[19:44] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666:  try it and see if that happens
[19:44] <kumamoto> ok use 'n'
[19:45] <spyke> extended or primary?
[19:45] <kumamoto> primary
[19:45] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, yup it happened
[19:45] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666:  damn
[19:45] <spyke> kumamoto: done - i've chosen max size
[19:46] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: yup damn!
[19:46] <kumamoto> spyke: yes hit enter for everything
[19:46] <spyke> kumamoto: it's done
[19:46] <Accidus> Hmm... Should I ask my question yet again? I wouldn't want to flood the channel... Since being specific didn't help, then where can I learn more about diagnozing the problem?
[19:46] <kumamoto> then 'p' again to verify
[19:46] <spyke> done
[19:46] <spyke> looks good
[19:46] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: get another one from newegg
[19:47] <NiKeCRu666> hahaa it's new!!!!
[19:47] <NiKeCRu666> i recently bought it!
[19:47] <kumamoto> spyke: nice then hit 'w'
[19:47] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666:  send it back
[19:47] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: hahahaa to USA? i live in south america
[19:47] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: oh man
[19:48] <spyke> kumamoto: ummm, 2 "new medium" windows have now opened on my desktop lol
[19:48] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: :( uhmn and if i mount it like a hard disk?
[19:48] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: see if you umount the drive remove it and then connect the SANSA
[19:49] <kumamoto> spyke: don't worry about them
[19:49] <kumamoto> keep it in the konsole
[19:49] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: yup i did it and it still doesnt appear :(
[19:49] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: man don't know what to tell unless I was physically there in costa rica
[19:50] <spyke> kumamoto: so far so good - should I try and mount it, see what happens?
[19:50] <kumamoto> I am just guessing
[19:50] <kumamoto> spyke: wait
[19:50] <NiKeCRu666> i'm not in costarica, i'm in Peru
[19:50] <kumamoto> spyke: fdisk -l
[19:51] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: I was thinking of moving down south I was thinking Costa Rica, Peru and Brazil (for soccer and the women(
[19:51] <spyke> kumamoto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22183/
[19:51] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, hell yeah very beautifull woman here =)
[19:52] <kumamoto> spyke: /dev/sdb1 looks good
[19:52] <kumamoto> spyke: ok run this command mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 and let it run
[19:52] <spyke> kumamoto: as root?
[19:53] <genii> With sudo
[19:53] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: how is the real estate and internet infrastructure in Peru
[19:53] <NiKeCRu666> what do you mean?
[19:53] <kumamoto> spyke:  after running sudo -i you don't need sudo again unless you killed the konsole window
[19:53] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: availability and price
[19:54] <NiKeCRu666> price, well it's cheap, but speed is not good =/
[19:54] <spyke> kumamoto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22184/
[19:55] <NiKeCRu666> you can get internet 200 Kbps but you only get 10% of that speed, no more
[19:55] <kumamoto> spyke: it looks good, has it completed?
[19:55] <NiKeCRu666> i miss USA internet speed =(
[19:55] <spyke> kumamoto: yeah - only took about 10 seconds
[19:56] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: they are beginning to suck at that
[19:56] <kumamoto> spyke: now try mounting it
[19:56] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: shitty
[19:56] <NiKeCRu666> is so sad =(
[19:56] <kumamoto> A few companies are doing there best to mess it up
[19:57] <kumamoto> I have a guy I know in Japan who get 40MB up and down
[19:57] <NiKeCRu666> O.o
[19:57] <kumamoto> for approx $50
[19:57] <NiKeCRu666> omfg
[19:58] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: now you can imagine how I feel cheated with this bullshit about the greatest country in world crap
[19:58] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, i just want 1MB 100% performance
[19:58] <NiKeCRu666> ;(
[19:58] <spyke> kumamoto: it's not mounting - same problem as before
[19:59] <kumamoto> In netherlands they bring the fiber to your house 30MB up and down and it is $10 less a month if you pull to your own from the terminal
[19:59] <kumamoto> how are you mounting it
[20:00] <kumamoto> I feel cheated
[20:00] <spyke> kumamoto: wait i may have found the problem
[20:00] <kumamoto> spyke: nice
[20:00] <spyke> kumamoto: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/storage2
[20:01] <spyke> that worked - but auto doesn't
[20:01] <spyke> that normal?
[20:01] <kumamoto> that is about it right
[20:01] <vipex> Can i download java to kubuntu?
[20:01] <kumamoto> vipex: sure you can
[20:01] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto, i pay $35 for internet 200 Kbps with just 10% of that speed, i download at 20Kbps
[20:01] <vipex> How?
[20:01] <NiKeCRu666> no more speed -.-
[20:01] <kumamoto> spyke: when you say 'auto' what you mean/
[20:02] <spyke> kumamoto: I first tried mounting it using Disks & Filesystems - type:auto, that gave me errors
[20:02] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: 20Kpbs that's my top speed
[20:02] <spyke> kumamoto: but doing the commandline with ext3 worked
[20:03] <vipex> omg this is difficult:D
[20:04] <spyke> kumamoto: ok, now i'm getting upset - Disks & Filesystems gives me errors no matter what *sigh*
[20:04] <kumamoto> vipex : nice help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=422692
[20:04] <Accidus> Can you point me to a tutorial about re-installing the sound system? Perhaps that will fix it...
[20:05] <kumamoto> spyke: take a breather
[20:05] <spyke> kumamoto: yep, doing that, thinking about modifying fstab manually... although D&F is easier ;)
[20:05] <kumamoto> spyke: at this time have you umount sdb1
[20:06] <spyke> kumamoto: sdb1 is mounted now
[20:06] <kumamoto> spyke:  I find editing fstab file easier
[20:06] <kumamoto> spyke: just add it to the fstab file and run mount -a and see any error come up
[20:07] <spyke> kumamoto: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage2 ext3 users,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0  ??
[20:07] <kumamoto> NiKeCRu666: man 20Kbps is slow
[20:07] <genii> Hmm. any way to delay internet apps to open until after network connection has been established?
[20:07] <genii> Small but annoying thing
[20:07] <navetz__> hey guys, is there a way to get gtk-recordmydesktop to work on dual monitors?
[20:07] <NiKeCRu666> kumamoto: yeah i know is so f. slow
[20:07] <kumamoto> are the drives mounted like that?
[20:08] <NiKeCRu666> !paste
[20:08] <LetsGo67> I cannot use my Kodak EasyShare C340 as a card reader in Ubuntu, but it is detected in lsusb.  Can someone help, please?
[20:08] <spyke> kumamoto: no errors with mount -a - was that the correct text to use in fstab?
[20:09] <tmbg> in 8.04 is dolphin dolphin or d3lphin?
[20:09] <kumamoto> yes
[20:09] <kumamoto> but was kind of overkill for me
[20:09] <spyke> kumamoto: how can i simplify then?
[20:09] <spyke> (i suck at fstab!)
[20:10] <trenton> Hello all, where is the script that starts Compiz on hardy please, I need to delay it's start.
[20:10] <kumamoto> for the options I would just use defaults
[20:11] <kumamoto> !java
[20:11] <spyke> kumamoto: I think I see problems - check this out - http://paste.ubuntu.com/22187/
[20:11] <kumamoto> !fstab
[20:12] <Ash-Fox> trenton, I believe compiz-kde is a window manager.
[20:12] <spyke> kumamoto: there's both /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1, and there's a double entry for one of the other hard drives...
[20:13] <Ash-Fox> trenton, thus, kdm likely starts it first thing.
[20:13] <trenton> Ash-Fox: thanks I'll look @kdm
[20:13] <navetz__> does anyone know of good software for recording your desktop that works with dual monitors?
[20:14] <kumamoto> spyke: ok fine, remove the sdb like in fstab, reboot the box and let it run and then check if has been added to the file automatically
[20:15] <kumamoto> spyke: remove both sdb and sdb1
[20:15] <spyke> kumamoto: both?
[20:15] <Accidus> *sigh* I think I'm giving up about the audio.
[20:15] <spyke> kumamoto: but then it won't mount...
[20:16] <LetsGo67> I cannot use my Kodak EasyShare C340 as a card reader in Ubuntu, but it is detected in lsusb.  Can someone help, please?
[20:16] <kumamoto> spyke: we are seeing if kubuntu will write to fstab automatically or it will ask you for permission to add it
[20:17] <spyke> oh ok, so you want me to use Disks & Filesystems after?
[20:17] <kumamoto> LetsGo67: do you have a card in the camera
[20:17] <LetsGo67> kumamoto: yes
[20:18] <kumamoto> spyke: let us know if Disk & Filesystems asks anything about it
[20:18] <spyke> kumamoto: ok - 2 secs
[20:18] <kumamoto> LetsGo67: does dmesg show the card
[20:18] <LetsGo67> No clue, how do I check?
[20:19] <kumamoto> LetsGo67: have you used konqueror before
[20:21] <LetsGo67> kumamoto: xubuntu not kubuntu.  Sorry.  :)
[20:21] <Ash-Fox> #xubuntu
[20:21] <trenton> can't find the script that starts compiz, it's not kdmrc, startkde, any help please?
[20:22] <spyke> kumamoto: all my problems with the drive have been solved - thanks :)
[20:22] <kumamoto> spyke: everything good now
[20:22] <kumamoto> YAY
[20:22] <spyke> kumamoto: all good :)
[20:23] <elbasan> hey komamoto can u help m ewith my digkam
[20:23] <spyke> kumamoto: I'll come in another time and have you help me fix video playback while compiz is running ;-)
[20:23] <[A]Li> how can i install Mplayer ?
[20:23] <kumamoto> spyke: I have never used Disks & Filesystems before
[20:23] <kumamoto> man I can't even get compiz to work on my kubuntu box
[20:23] <aSkEn> Bonsoir
[20:24] <spyke> kumamoto: it's easy for us wannabe geeks who can never remember the fstab options ;)
[20:24] <kumamoto> !mplayer
[20:24] <kumamoto> !codecs
[20:24] <spyke> kumamoto: it was easy to get compiz working for me - totally new computer here with a fresh install, I could never get it running on my old puter tho
[20:24] <kumamoto> spyke: for fstab option I usually go with 'defaults'
[20:25] <kumamoto> compiz is weird I have seen old comps use it too and some newones that don't
[20:25] <tmbg> NiKeCRu666, have you considered maybe dialup? would be cheaper and maybe even faster
[20:26] <spyke> kumamoto: how can i set the mount point owner to me the user and not root?
[20:26] <spyke> chown enough?
[20:26] <kumamoto> Last time I played with it was with xubuntu which worked flawlessly
[20:26] <kumamoto> you have permission in the fstab option 'user' that is you
[20:27] <StultusApparatus> Help, I cant delete these two folders, it says access is denied
[20:27] <spyke> kumamoto: so it doesn't matter who the owner is then?
[20:27] <trenton> anyone know how compiz is started on hardy?
[20:28] <spyke> trenton: compiz
[20:28] <StultusApparatus> Can anyone help me delete these folders?
[20:28] <kumamoto> StultusApparatus: how are you trying to delete the folders cli or gui
[20:28] <spyke> trenton: but you have to enable it in system/desktop effects
[20:28] <StultusApparatus> kumamoto: GUI
[20:29] <kumamoto> pull up the konsole and run this command
[20:29] <trenton> yes that's what I did and it works. but I would like to delay it's start by 10 seconds
[20:29] <trenton> spike:yes that's what I did and it works. but I would like to delay it's start by 10 seconds
[20:29] <spyke> trenton: sorry, dunno how to do that
[20:30] <kumamoto> spyke: root always has access the drive no matte what but I know you can deny other users to use the drive apart from you
[20:30] <kumamoto> StultusApparatus: konsole was for you
[20:31] <StultusApparatus> kumamoto: you never told me the command
[20:31] <spyke> kumamoto: that's all fine and good, but as user I can't even create a directory in the mount folder
[20:31] <trenton> spike:ok thanks
[20:31] <kumamoto> StultusApparatus: sudo rm -rf </path/to/folder>
[20:31] <StultusApparatus> thanks
[20:32] <kumamoto> spyke: when you attempt to create a dir error is?
[20:32] <Accidus> Okay, I managed to get rid of the "restart sound system" looping
[20:32] <spyke> kumamoto: can't create, permissions
[20:32] <kumamoto> StultusApparatus: use that command with extreme caution
[20:33] <StultusApparatus> kumamoto: Okay I will
[20:33] <spyke> kumamoto: "Can't create a directory. Check your permissions."
[20:33] <Accidus> If anyone interested, I've dropped the auto-suspend to one second, pressed 'apply', and it righted itself
[20:33] <kumamoto> spyke: what directory is the drive mount to?
[20:33] <Accidus> But sound still doesn't work.
[20:33] <spyke> kumamoto: /media/storage2

[20:39] <kumamoto>   spyke : can you know create a dir?

[21:02] <mefisto__> Accidus: what was wrong? what did you do from that thread that fixed the sound?
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> hey all

[21:11] <Accidus> From that thread, I used the alsamixer
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> i get that when i run the updater
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> can anyone reccommend anything
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> i went to the faq and it says to install the latest version, yet i ran sudo apt-get update before updating
[21:12] <Accidus> Apparently, my audio was muted in alsamixer
[21:12] <Accidus> (but not in kmix, for example)
[21:13] <Accidus> As for the "restart audio system" loop, I already said what solved it
[21:13] <Accidus> And lastly, with Skype I had to manually choose the input and output devices

[21:31] <alucardromero>  /list
[21:32] <utente> thanks
[21:32] <alucardromero> Surrrrre.
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> utente: /list works but if you bring up your app you can bring one up there
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> utente: what irc client you using?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> munk__: the broken one, remove it then reinstall. Or you can get apt-get to reinstall over the top
[21:33] <munk__> ActionParsnip, how do i know which one is broken?!
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> munk__: sudo apt-get --reinstall install knetworkmanager
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> munk__:  well you said the network manager doesnt start at boot so that may be an indicator
[21:34] <TimS> I just got a message saying remote computer closed the connection.
[21:34] <munk__> ActionParsnip, i already did that and it didnt fix it.....
[21:34] <TimS> Does this mean a VNC connection?
[21:34] <utente> i use konversation
[21:34] <TimS> And does Desktop Sharing have any logs to see who it was?
[21:34] <munk__> ActionParsnip, i said that it doesnt start even if i try to start it it gives me errors..
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> munk__: what errors?
[21:35] <munk__> ActionParsnip,  let me pastebin it..
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> utente: its under server at the top

[21:59] <nyuu> hi, I have a question
[21:59] <nyuu> I have installed all required codecs but..
[22:00] <nyuu> yesterday, I realized that my wmv files give no sound
[22:00] <nyuu> so I asked some friends how to fix it
[22:00] <nyuu> then they preferred some codecs and I installed them
[22:01] <nyuu> after that, my 'HD' videos began to play fuzzy
[22:03] <Roey> Hi, why do I get this weird error when mounting my SD card??  http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/software/345276-unable-mount-removable-media-hal-storage-removable-mount.html
[22:03] <Roey> How can I fix this?
[22:03] <Roey> Thanks
[22:04] <fiachabandrui> I had successfully installed Hardy Heron w/ KDE 4 but the last time I restarted KDE does not load, says "no resume image, doing normal boot"... I put my username and pword in at command prompt but then don't know what to do to fix. Tried startx but it just opens another command line window.
[22:06] <fiachabandrui> I am a Linux noob, not sure what do try next, would appreciate some help.. found many similar problems on forums but always said startx also would load KDE.
[22:09] <vipex> omg how ican download macromedia flashplayer to this kubuntu.
[22:10] <vipex> I have just downloaded kubuntu cos my windows is broken.
[22:10] <PhilRod> !flash
[22:11] <vipex> ok.
[22:11] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: try booting in recovery mode, eventually you will see another menu, one of the options is xorg fix (or something like that). choose that option, then reboot normally when it's done
[22:12] <fiachabandrui> Mefisto, I'm pretty sure I tried that with no success (gets hard to remember after enough times) but I will try once more and let you know what it says.
[22:14] <vipex> ubottu ty very much
[22:14] <vipex> its working now!:D
[22:16] <fiachabandrui> OK, if I pick "recovery mode" instead of just regular kernel I get 4 options, one of which is xfix...
[22:16] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: did you choose xfix?
[22:16] <fiachabandrui> It seems to do something but then I go back to recovery menu with same 4 choices.
[22:18] <fiachabandrui> If I pick resume normal boot, I eventually am back to commant prompt. THere is an error message for starting k display manager that says no such file or directory for kdm-kde4start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/ib/kde4/bin/kdm
[22:19] <fiachabandrui> Also grep: /usr/lib/kde4/kdm/kdmrc: no such file or directory
[22:22] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: you could try reinstalling kdm: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kdm-kde4
[22:22] <ik_> sup
[22:23] <fiachabandrui> trying that now, mefisto.
[22:25] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: also you could try #kubuntu-kde4 channel, someone there might be more helpful
[22:26] <fiachabandrui> Mefisto, the install process looked like it went normally so I am restarting...
[22:28] <fiachabandrui> OK well that's odd... I got as far as the splash screen and logon screen but then when I logged on it opened that same command line box like I got when tried "starx" before... No joy.
[22:29] <elgokulo> at least is the xserver workin :)
[22:29] <fiachabandrui> If I enter kdm & the logon gui restarts, rinse and repeat.
[22:30] <fiachabandrui> same if I enter kde &
[22:31] <elgokulo> did you tried kde3?
[22:31] <fiachabandrui> How would I do that? I have KDE 4 installed.
[22:35] <mefisto__> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:36] <fiachabandrui> OK, when I tried startkde I got a message about more packages needing installed, so I did that. I entered startkde again and now it says kpersonalizer not found please install.... then it is returning some other errors about missing files and I have no command prompt. Restart?
[22:36] <tekstacy> Is there a simple way to restore all my network stuff to defaults?
[22:37] <tekstacy> I tried installing another network manager, but managed to break my wireless
[22:37] <tekstacy> Knetworkmanager won't see my ap.   (Though I sometimes see my neighbor's).
[22:43] <fiachabandrui> mefisto, I had to restart because i no longer had a prompt and when I started in recovery mode to get to command line again and requested the kubuntu-desktop package, it said e: unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix missing?
[22:43] <elgokulo> try apt-get -f install
[22:45] <vipex> umm how to get java work on kubuntu?
[22:45] <holycow> !java
[22:45] <fiachabandrui> OK, it gives me a list of packages that were installed and no longer required, says to use apt-get autoremove to remove them, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed and 6 not upgraded
[22:45] <holycow> there you go
[22:45] <vipex> ok
[22:47] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: looks like you have some updates. sudo apt-get update (to refresh the list of packages) then, sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:47] <elgokulo> fiachabandrui, then try again ... erm yeah try that was mefisto__ wrote :)
[22:48] <fiachabandrui> apt-get update isn't working right... it fails to fetch the addresses.
[22:48] <elgokulo> not online?
[22:50] <fiachabandrui> I don't know... this is my laptop, so I plugged into ethernet port since wireless isn't going to work obviously...doesn't work out of the box on mine.
[22:50] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: ping google.com or ping ubuntu.com to see if you're online
[22:51] <fiachabandrui> If I out in the boot disc can it find the files it nneeds from that?
[22:51] <fiachabandrui> put rather
[22:52] <kumamoto>    fiachabandrui : are you currently booted into the OS
[22:53] <fiachabandrui> ? In Linux I'm not exactly sure what that means. I am at command line, no GUI.
[22:53] <kumamoto> fiachabandrui: ok
[22:54] <kumamoto> fiachabandrui: do you know your network information i.e ipaddr, gateway and netmask
[22:54] <kumamoto> ?
[22:55] <fiachabandrui> ugh.. not really b/c I have dynamic IP from my DSL. If I do a live boot and restart?... ::she says hopefully::
[22:56] <kumamoto> fiachabandrui: try doing a 'sudo dhclient eth0' eth0 being the main NIC
[22:57] <mefisto__> kumamoto: do you know how to add a CD to sources.list ?
[22:57] <kumamoto> mefisto__: sure
[23:00] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: type this to confirm you have access to internet: ping ubuntu.com
[23:00] <fiachabandrui> Kumamoto, if I interpret this right, it's returning info for my wifi adapter, which is not too helpful.
[23:00] <kumamoto>  fiachabandrui : eth0 is your wifi?
[23:01] <kumamoto> if that is so then run dhclient without the NIC so 'sudo dhclient'
[23:02] <fiachabandrui> Mefisto, my screen is filling with an endless scroll of "64 bytes from avocado.canonical.com" etc...
[23:02] <Roey> Hi, why do I get this weird error when mounting my SD card??  http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/software/345276-unable-mount-removable-media-hal-storage-removable-mount.html  <-- is there a fix for this?
[23:02] <mefisto__> ctrl-c will kill that process
[23:03] <fiachabandrui> OK, mefisto, it says 95 sent and 95 received
[23:04] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: which means you are connecting OK to ubuntu.com
[23:04] <fiachabandrui> WTF? I tried apt-get update again and worked fine.....
[23:05] <kumamoto> mefisto__:deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
[23:07] <fiachabandrui> apt-get upgrade also seemed to work this time.
[23:07] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: what is it upgrading? anything to do with kdm?
[23:08] <fiachabandrui> Not that I can see... all lib files, mostly from medibuntu
[23:12] <fiachabandrui> OK, I think where I hit the snage before was installing kubuntu-desktop so I am trying that now.
[23:14] <vipex> My kopete instant messenger isnt working?:O
[23:15] <nyuu> hi
[23:15] <nyuu> does anybody out there ?
[23:16] <FoxIII> Hi nyuu
[23:16] <nyuu> hi FoxIII
[23:16] <nyuu> can you help me with video codecs?
[23:16] <mefisto__> vipex: can you be more specific? does kopete start?
[23:16] <nyuu> I have a bit complicated problem FoxIII
[23:16] <FoxIII> !codecs
[23:16] <FoxIII> What's the problem nyuu
[23:17] <nyuu> yesterday, I had a video problem and...
[23:17] <engineer> sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[23:17] <nyuu> some of kubuntu users tried to help me at this channel ^^
[23:17] <nyuu> I did, I did
[23:17] <vipex> omg im too stupid to download the java on kubuntu ;( :D
[23:17] <FoxIII> nyuu, explain the problem and we'll try our best.
[23:17] <nyuu> ok
[23:17] <engineer> vipex java is in the reps
[23:18] <nyuu> now, when I try to open an 1080i video, my screen shakes
[23:18] <engineer> earthquake?
[23:18] <nyuu> before yesterday there was no problem
[23:18] <nyuu> ^^
[23:18] <nyuu> yea good joke
[23:18] <nyuu> like earthquake yea
[23:19] <vipex> reps?
[23:19] <nyuu> after installing some codecsççç
[23:19] <engineer> repositories
[23:19] <engineer> uninstall them
[23:19] <vipex> how?
[23:19] <nyuu> how can
[23:19] <nyuu> ..
[23:19] <nyuu> I think
[23:19] <vipex> Just today loaded kubuntu soz:D
[23:19] <engineer> sudo aptitude remove w32codecs
[23:19] <nyuu> the xv driver
[23:19] <nyuu> does that
[23:20] <engineer> vipex sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
[23:20] <nyuu> I want to delete all codecs and reinstall them
[23:20] <fiachabandrui> Mefisto, it appears kubuntu desktop is done and I had sort of a gui thing come up asking me to select the default, so I picked KDM KDE4 and now it's installing a ton more stuff.
[23:20] <nyuu> maybe it will solve this problem
[23:21] <nyuu> but be careful about the xv thing ^^
[23:21] <fiachabandrui> And now that
[23:21] <nyuu> and the other problem is...
[23:21] <vipex> wht means sudo:P?
[23:21] <nyuu> I can't hear a voice with wmp files
[23:21] <engineer> super user do
[23:21] <fiachabandrui> Sorry, now that's done and I have prompt again.
[23:21] <nyuu> but the video plays
[23:22] <vipex> So : i unistall reps
[23:22] <engineer> vipex you don't uninstall anything
[23:22] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: now when you get to the login screen, look in the menu and choose KDE3
[23:22] <engineer> run that command i posted above
[23:22] <nyuu> how can I delete reps??
[23:22] <engineer> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:22] <engineer> edit the file and save
[23:23] <vipex> ohh engineer so wht i had to do to get java working:P?
[23:23] <fiachabandrui> Mefisto... what login screen? I have command line.
[23:23] <engineer> that will download the java jvm and install it
[23:23] <vipex> ok
[23:23] <engineer> (23:20:13) (engineer) vipex sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
[23:23] <engineer> or
[23:24] <engineer> sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin
[23:24] <nyuu> thanx alot ^^
[23:24] <nyuu> it solved alot of problems ^^
[23:25] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: startx, or reboot and start normally if that doesn't get you to login screen
[23:25] <nyuu> but I can't hear a voice with wmp files
[23:25] <nyuu> do you know a solution
[23:25] <nyuu> however, the video plays well
[23:27] <fiachabandrui> Oh, startx took me right in.. prolly because I was already at superuser prompt, the # thing... OK, so I have a desktop again, which is totally awesome...but a bunch of stuff is different and/or gone...
[23:28] <engineer> vipex yes
[23:28] <fiachabandrui> Ack!! umm.... any thoughts on what happened to my former home folder?
[23:30] <FoxIII> fiachabandrui, that's because you are signed in as root. If you check dolphin, you will probably see that you are not in your normal home folder.
[23:30] <fiachabandrui> Oh! Of course... moment of panic and I forgot I am in as root.
[23:31] <FoxIII> heh. Common mistake.
[23:32] <fiachabandrui> Is there a way to change users from here? I never logged in as root before.
[23:33] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: just reboot and start normally, to make sure you can login as normal user
[23:33] <darkdelusions> fiachabandrui: su username
[23:33] <darkdelusions> or do u mean for good
[23:34] <fiachabandrui> OK... I'm scared. ;-)
[23:34] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: it's not a good idea to be logged in as root, unless you need to for some reason
[23:34] <FoxIII> darkdelusions, fiachabandrui has logged in from the command prompt into root gui and wants to change to his other login.
[23:34] <fiachabandrui> Oh, yeah, I know. I'm not THAT much of a noob.
[23:35] <darkdelusions> FoxIII: ahh ok
[23:35] <BluesKaj> !root
[23:35] <fiachabandrui> ROFLMAO
[23:35] <FoxIII> hehe. That's good.
[23:36] <fiachabandrui> Phew... OK I am back in as myself and it looks different but OK.
[23:37] <vipex> links to install ? . sun-java6-jre
[23:38] <BluesKaj> try adept
[23:38] <darkdelusions> vipex: you can down load the unbuntu restricted xtra and it should install
[23:39] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: OK, so it seems it's a KDE4 config problem you have
[23:39] <fiachabandrui> OK... which means what exactly in practice?
[23:40] <BluesKaj> darkdelusions, kubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:41] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: until you track down the KDE4 problem, you won't be able to login to your KDE4 desktop
[23:41] <fiachabandrui> OK, so I'm in KDE 3 then? That's why it looks different?
[23:42] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: yes, kde 3
[23:42] <mefisto__> #kubuntu-kde4 channel might be some help, but that channel tends to be less active than this one
[23:42] <fiachabandrui> Is there a burning reason I should go back to KDE4 other than my obsession with the bleeding edge?
[23:44] <fiachabandrui> I wasn't using any of the really sexy KDE4 stuff yet anyways because I was more concerned about Wine issues.
[23:45] <Sarcastic_> Eu amo vc!
[23:45] <Sarcastic_> Oi bipolar!
[23:45] <Sarcastic_> Como se se sente hj?
[23:46] <darkdelusions> !spanish | Sarcastic_
[23:47] <bassem> i need to scan windows Partition using Kubuntu ... any ideas ?
[23:48] <fiachabandrui> Well, mefisto, you've been a lifesaver. THanks so much. Seriously, though, as a bit of a noob, I am wondering if I would be wiser just to stick with KDE3. I was having a lot of problems in KDE4 with things hanging and crashing and I didn't think Linux was supposed to be that buggy...
[23:48] <fiachabandrui> Any thoughts on that?
[23:48] <BluesKaj> bassem, explain scan
[23:49] <kumamoto>  yeah what are you scanning for
[23:50] <bassem> well ... i had some kind of virus that prevents me from opening task manager .... called NOOH ... i want to scan and remove or quarantine it ..
[23:52] <kumamoto> seriously?!
[23:52] <bassem> unfortunately :D
[23:52] <fiachabandrui> OK, perhaps I should take a different tack... could anyone suggest a forum thread, faq, or whatever regarding the relative merits/drawbacks of KDE3 vs. KDE4?
[23:53] <mefisto__> fiachabandrui: kde4 is still quite new. I have it installed and log into it when an update arrives to see what's changed, but it's not useable enough for me yet
[23:53] <fiachabandrui> Ah, OK, thanks. Sorry to be impatient.
[23:54] <fiachabandrui> That may explain why I was having so much trouble, then. I was really starting to think I'd made a mistake ditching Vista at last... and that's really saying something!
[23:54] <BluesKaj> bassem, have you seen this : http://www.precisesecurity.com/computer-virus/alnuh-may063.htm, and your prob is with windows , kubuntu can only solve a windows prob by replacing it :)
[23:55] <bassem> :)
[23:55] <darkdelusions> vipex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[23:55] <fiachabandrui> All right then, thanks for the help... you are totally awesome. :-)
[23:55] <mefisto__> I use kubuntu to restore registry backups when windows goes nuts and won't start
[23:57] <BluesKaj> yeah  mefisto__, but those are file/reg backups , not viruses
[23:57] <typedestereo> that's the command to edit the hosts file?
[23:57] <vipex> dark so im not founding anything
[23:57] <typedestereo> *what's
[23:57] <kumamoto> mefisto__: sorry, that I got a see
[23:59] <Odd-rationale> typedestereo: "kdesudo kate /etc/hosts" ?
[23:59] <typedestereo> 'command not found'
[23:59] <EagleScreen> going to #kde-devel
[23:59] <Odd-rationale> typedestereo: which part of the command?
