[09:33] <TheHighChild> Could not open /dev/vmnet8: No such file or directory
[09:33] <TheHighChild> Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.
[09:33] <kane_> betty: did you look in the system tray ?
[09:33] <chavo> betty, If there's no icon then you have the latest
[09:33] <TheHighChild> sorry about that
[09:33] <chavo> assuming you have dapper already
[09:34] <BazziR> oh thats weird
[09:34] <BazziR> what version of vmware do you have?
[09:34] <betty> well there's a glass, a 12:33 am a notepad and blue pan and a 1234. But I don't see any roadsign
[09:34] <TheHighChild> BazziR: How do I setup a virtual connection?
[09:34] <betty> I guess there's no way to check
[09:34] <TheHighChild> BazziR: not sure, one sex
[09:34] <TheHighChild> sec
[09:34] <kane_> betty: use adept
[09:35] <TheHighChild> BazziR: VMware Server 1.0.0
[09:35] <BazziR> hmmm
[09:35] <kane_> betty: K-> System -> Adept (Package Manager)
[09:35] <BazziR> can't help you, it worked for me out of the box
[09:36] <kane_> betty: then, in the menu, select Adept -> Fetch Updates
[09:36] <betty> Darn I need a password
[09:36] <kane_> betty: use your password
[09:36] <kane_> betty: the same password you used to loin
[09:37] <kane_> login
[09:37] <betty> I don't think I can
[09:37] <kane_> betty: yep, you can
[09:38] <TheHighChild> BazziR: Ok man, thanks for trying
[09:40] <exceswater> thank you guys

[09:41] <chavo> :)
[09:41] <betty> Is there anyway to have the computer poweron at a particular time?
[09:41] <chavo> exceswater, what card do you have?
[09:41] <kane_> betty: probably many ways
[09:41] <betty> I'll play you chess exceswater
[09:41] <exceswater> nvidia geforce 4 mx 440
[09:41] <betty> How would I do that
[09:41] <exceswater> that's my older computer
[09:42] <exceswater> from the office
[09:42] <betty> I'm the chess master
[09:42] <exceswater> and i want free thing here because i don't wanna have problems
[09:42] <exceswater> ;d
[09:42] <TheHighChild> exceswater: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
[09:42] <betty> oh I'm using a built in video card and each time I try to run tux racer the game crashes
[09:42] <chavo> exceswater, yeah ET would run at lower res on that card
[09:43] <chavo> et is pretty much the only game I play
[09:43] <TheHighChild> chavo: What servers? My only game as well. I've sold my soul to it
[09:43] <betty> I seem to remember playing Duke3D on my 486 and it didn't do that. It was only slow in the outside levels that was it
[09:43] <chavo> I pretty much stick to evilsmurfs servers, they are a lot of fun
[09:44] <exceswater> where i can find it ?
[09:44] <chavo> and I get great ping
[09:44] <exceswater> i like wolfenstein
[09:44] <exceswater> it was one of my first nice games... ooooh goood old times
[09:45] <chavo> exceswater, hold on I'll find you a link
[09:45] <betty> I'm getting tired
[09:45] <TheHighChild> exceswater: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/FPS/Wolfenstein-Enemy-Territory-3948.shtml
[09:45] <exceswater> 10x
[09:45] <chavo> there ya go
[09:45] <exceswater> i will install it right after download
[09:45] <exceswater> :d
[09:45] <exceswater> 10x
[09:45] <betty> Is there a Sims 2 for linux?
[09:45] <chavo> It's the best game and it's free, only like 250Mb download too
[09:45] <TheHighChild> exceswater: Use this as a guide, NOT step by step. They use a different version in the example http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5246
[09:46] <TheHighChild> exceswater: Understand that it's online only. There is no real game.
[09:46] <exceswater> it i a demo
[09:46] <exceswater> :D
[09:46] <exceswater> is a demo ?
[09:46] <TheHighChild> exceswater: no it isn't
[09:46] <exceswater> aaa
[09:46] <chavo> no it's the full game
[09:46] <exceswater> it's online
[09:46] <TheHighChild> yes
[09:46] <exceswater> like counter :D
[09:46] <chavo> but multiplayer only
[09:46] <betty> Enemy Territory!
[09:46] <TheHighChild> yes!
[09:47] <chavo> :)
[09:47] <betty> I'm so good at that game
[09:47] <hangfire> ET is low quality, try americas army if you want a quality free FPS
[09:47] <exceswater> it says about et 1.6 DEMO
[09:47] <Ertain> Crap, I can't seem to use Adept.  It says that another program is using the database.
[09:47] <chavo> hangfire, low quality how?
[09:47] <TheHighChild> ET is banging and it'll work on your card exceswater
[09:47] <exceswater> but
[09:47] <exceswater> it says it's demo
[09:47] <betty> once there was like 12 guys that were all swarming the spawn and nobody could get out so I setoff a bazooka and blasted every one of the 12 guys down
[09:48] <hangfire> it just is, it has terrible physics and shooting graphics
[09:48] <travis|linux> looks awesome to me
[09:48] <TheHighChild> exceswater: Yes but it isn't.
[09:48] <betty> totally won
[09:48] <travis|linux> I'm downloading :)
[09:48] <fek> moin
[09:48] <exceswater> demo ... 258 M
[09:48] <chavo> hangfire, yeah but it's fun
[09:48] <TheHighChild> exceswater: I could go into the history of the game, but I'll save you the time. IT was going to be a full version but went awry, not it's free
[09:48] <travis|linux> what is the best linux first person shooter game??
[09:48] <betty> is there 1/2 life for Linux?
[09:48] <TheHighChild> travis|linux: ET
[09:48] <TheHighChild> betty: THrough cedega or wine
[09:49] <chavo> AA is more like work
[09:49] <hangfire> its not fun because you cant shoot anyone at long distance, its a mindless shooter where you spawn every 30 seconds
[09:49] <betty> What's 1/2 a life?
[09:49] <exceswater> ok
[09:49] <exceswater> 10x
[09:49] <Ertain> Half life isn't for Linux.
[09:49] <TheHighChild> mindless shooter? Sounds like a *gasp* game?
[09:49] <exceswater> it;s only the name
[09:49] <exceswater> :D
[09:49] <betty> I never got that. Some curve or something and I think it's used in carbon 14 or something
[09:49] <Ertain> Or rather, Valve hasn't ported Half Life over to Linux.  Darn shame.
[09:49] <betty> I thought Valve was totally into linux
[09:50] <betty> or is that Epic?
[09:50] <Ertain> Anyway, I just started using Kubuntu.  I'm trying to use Adept, but it keeps saying that the pack database is being used by some other program.
[09:50] <betty> I know sierra makes buggy games
[09:50] <TheHighChild> exceswater: It's a fully opensource game, even the engine (quake 3) AND it's not made by the US military to recruit you ;)
[09:50] <chunLaptop> half life can be run on linux
[09:50] <travis|linux> Ertain: do u have 2 copies of it open?
[09:50] <chavo> a 5 year old game that still has jam packed servers everywhere must really be lame
[09:50] <exceswater> :d
[09:50] <exceswater> hehe
[09:51] <exceswater> thanks guys
[09:51] <hangfire> has anyone tried the gl-117 flight sim on ubuntu?
[09:51] <exceswater> just added to download
[09:51] <exceswater> i gotta run now
[09:51] <exceswater> i have to work sometimes
[09:51] <exceswater> but i really hate it ":d
[09:51] <chavo> work?
[09:51] <exceswater> aham
[09:51] <betty> I tried playing some game I think it was moon lander by Sierra and when I was jetting around one of those frigits the whole screen crashed
[09:51] <Ertain> travis|linux: no.  I just started my computer.  I opened it and it said that.
[09:51] <exceswater> is something that some of us are obliged to do :D
[09:52] <exceswater> bye bye for now
[09:52] <chavo> yeah I gotta find a job soon myseld
[09:52] <chavo> bye exceswater
[09:52] <exceswater> and thanks for help guys
[09:52] <exceswater> :d
[09:52] <TheHighChild> my job sucks. I'm a tape monkey
[09:52] <betty> what is your job?
[09:52] <betty> I'm a notary so I don't really work
[09:53] <chavo> I haven't had a real job for a while. I play guitar in a band
[09:53] <betty> that would be fun
[09:53] <travis|linux> I do fixed wireless internet
[09:53] <TheHighChild> betty: Classified as an Operator but I do a lot more than that would usually indicate
[09:53] <betty> you know a fun job I think would be a game tester
[09:53] <chavo> yes that would be fun
[09:54] <TheHighChild> Until you have to test some lame shiat like WoW
[09:54] <betty> well
[09:54] <betty> then you just mine or something
[09:54] <betty> I don
[09:54] <betty> 't really play games actually that much
[09:54] <betty> I played WoW once
[09:55] <betty> I play runescape
[09:55] <betty> if anyone plays runescape I'm we6jbo
[09:55] <Ertain> Btw, I usually have to change to root.  Is there a way I can automate that without having to type in "sudo" or "kdesu" a lot?
[09:55] <betty> (Same as my callsign)
[09:55] <travis|linux> sudo -i
[09:55] <travis|linux> that will give you a root login
[09:56] <betty> I don't even know what the password to root is
[09:56] <travis|linux> your password
[09:56] <betty> is that bad?
[09:56] <travis|linux> there is only 1 password
[09:56] <betty> well I tried it but it didn't work
[09:56] <Ertain> I need to, since I'll be doing that a lot.  And I'm the only guy using this computer.
[09:57] <betty> sudo works
[09:57] <betty> but logging in as root I don't know
[09:57] <travis|linux> sudo -i
[09:57] <Ertain> I'll try that then.
[09:58] <betty> I don't want to break the system though
[09:58] <betty> too complex
[09:59] <travis|linux> not all that complex
[09:59] <betty> what would I do if it broke and I didn't know how to fix it?
[09:59] <travis|linux> then don't log in as root
[10:00] <Ertain> So how the heck am I suppose to use Adept?  I can't merely choose it from the menu listing, since for some strange reason it says that another process is using the database, or that I don't have the right privilages.
[10:00] <travis|linux> Ertain: did u enter in the correct password?
[10:00] <Hobbsee> Ertain: use kdesu adept?
[10:00] <Ertain> I'll try that.
[10:01] <Ertain> Nope, still says the database is locked.
[10:02] <Ertain> Okay, so how does one "unlock" it?
[10:03] <travis|linux> is apt-get installing something right now?
[10:03] <TheHighChild> BazziR: Hey, I think my trouble was a mis-made selection in the installation. Thanks again for your time and help
[10:04] <travis|linux> Ertain: are updates downloading?
[10:04] <chavo> TheHighChild, it's working now?
[10:04] <Ertain> Nothing is updating?
[10:04] <Ertain> Er, nothing is updating.
[10:05] <TheHighChild> chavo: The VMware? Not sure but I've gotten additional options in thsi install
[10:05] <chavo> oh ok
[10:09] <Ertain> Okay, I was able to fix the database problem.  Btw, is there a way to skip typing in my password when starting up Adept?
[10:11] <chavo> Ertain, man sudoers
[10:11] <hangfire> does anyone know how I log in my password automatically in Konversation IRC client? In Settings>Identitys I see a box that says service, but I dont know what to put in there
[10:11] <betty> hey guys
[10:11] <Ertain> I was wondering about that a few minutes ago, hangfire.  I wonder how to do that, too.
[10:11] <chavo> hangfire, put in nickserv
[10:12] <betty> It was a lot of fun chatting with you and thanks for helping me. I'm going to go to bed because I'm awefully sleepy so goodnight and see you in the morning
[10:12] <chavo> goodnight betty
[10:12] <hangfire> ok Ill try that chavo
[10:12] <hangfire> and now for a restart
[10:12] <Hobbsee> hangfire: yeah, f2, edit the server you want, type the password in the password box, hit okay
[10:13] <hangfire> f2 edit the server?
[10:13] <hangfire> oh I see
[10:14] <Hobbsee> hangfire: becaues you're more likely to have multiple servers on the same identity, rather than the other way around
[10:15] <TheHighChild> chavo: so far so good. Didn't get the errors this time.
[10:15] <TheHighChild> chavo: Or is that not what you were asking me about
[10:16] <chavo> TheHighChild, just curious as I've never had a problem with vmware
[10:17] <TheHighChild> chavo: I think I chose no for networking. I was following a guide and it said to select the defaults, well the default for networking was 'no' so...yeah
[10:17] <TheHighChild> chavo: You run OSX on it?
[10:17] <chavo> no
[10:19] <cox377> Hey all.. for some reason.. when i get an system msg pop up in the buttom right hand corner i can never get rid of the damn thing
[10:19] <cox377> does anyone have any ideas?
[10:20] <stephenford> hi guys
[10:20] <cox377> hiya
[10:21] <hangfire> so when I edit the servers in Konversation, do I use irc.freenode.net or NickServ?
[10:21] <Hobbsee> hangfire: server stays the same
[10:21] <hangfire> ok, thanks Hobbsee
[10:22] <stephenford> need a bit of help installing kubuntu on an omnibook 500
[10:22] <stephenford> i dont think its got enough ram to boot the kernal for the live dvd
[10:23] <Hobbsee> stephenford: you can use the alternate cd
[10:23] <Hobbsee> which is just an install cd
[10:23] <stephenford> surly thats on the dvd tho
[10:23] <stephenford> it took me ages to download :S
[10:24] <Hobbsee> er, it might be
[10:24] <_marco> hello everybody
[10:25] <_marco> I'm looking for a way to contact my kubuntu machine remote in graphical mode
[10:25] <_marco> does anyone have a idea how to set this up easily?
[10:26] <stephenford> :S looks like my laptop hasnt even been tested yet
[10:27] <stephenford> is 128mb of ram enough for the live cd?
[10:29] <spajus_> what is the common reason when kdesu fails to execute something? error message is "su returned with error"
[10:29] <stephenford> something like file system quite unexpectedly
[10:29] <stephenford> or kde desktop enviroment failed
[10:31] <stephenford> i tell you what i've installed this desktop with the dvd but i'll chaeck the dvd for defects anyway and get back too you
[10:33] <cox377> has anyone managed to share folders using Kubuntu?
[10:34] <Ertain> I've been looking over the manual for the "sudoers" stuff and man, that's a lot to swallow for simply not wanting to type in my password while wanting to use Adept.
[10:34] <cox377> haha
[10:36] <Ertain> Has anyone tried tackling "sudoers"?
[10:36] <hangfire> what is that a bash command?
[10:37] <scheuri> hi all
[10:37] <Ertain> It's the files which say who logs in as who.  Specifically I'm trying to use Adept without having to type in my password.
[10:38] <hangfire> well cant you change the file attributes of the program with chmod?
[10:39] <lowtech> Ertain: this may help. http://www.linux-corner.info/sudo.html
[10:39] <cox377> I'm unders sytem settings and it's tell me that i need to be under root to change folder share option.. i dont have a root accounbt?
[10:39] <hangfire> or maybe just use the program while in root
[10:40] <exceswater> back
[10:40] <exceswater> :d
[10:40] <cox377unreal> haha
[10:40] <cox377unreal> cox377unreal??
[10:40] <cox377unreal> is that because i'm asking the most stupid of questions?
[10:40] <hangfire> cox, you have to have a root account
[10:40] <cox377unreal> is that the account that i can modify everything?
[10:41] <hangfire> yes
[10:41] <cox377unreal> I'm under that account then
[10:41] <chavo> Ertain, use visudo to edit your sudoers
[10:41] <lowtech> the user is 'root'?
[10:41] <cox377unreal> i only have one account
[10:41] <cox377unreal> and that isnt named root
[10:42] <hangfire> no, you have another account named root
[10:42] <cox377unreal> Ummm
[10:42] <chavo> Ertain, username ALL= /usr/bin/adept     , something like that
[10:42] <chavo> but I'm not positive
[10:42] <hangfire> you just cant have user accounts, you have to have a root account
[10:42] <lowtech> believe you need to create a 'root' account
[10:43] <hangfire> *cant have just user accounts
[10:43] <cox377unreal> fire, i never set a password for the root account
[10:43] <cox377unreal> i just try logging in as root using the only password i know and it fails
[10:43] <visik7> obviously
[10:43] <visik7> sudo -i
[10:43] <visik7> !sudo
[10:43] <ubotu> it has been said that sudo is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[10:44] <hangfire> well try using root as your password
[10:44] <cox377unreal> when i log in under sudo -i i use my password which lets me in.. but when i go back to the splash screen it doesnt let me log in
[10:44] <ArmedGeek> ubuntu makes use of sudo, there is *rarely* a need to use the root account
[10:44] <hangfire> (the word root)
[10:44] <ArmedGeek> it is disabled by default on ubuntu
[10:45] <ArmedGeek> the default root account on ubuntu has no password
[10:45] <cox377unreal> i tried no password and that didnt work either
[10:45] <ArmedGeek> an account without a password is disabled
[10:45] <cox377unreal> but when i do sudo -i under terminal i enter the password i know and it works
[10:45] <ArmedGeek> you *cant* log into root without a password
[10:46] <ArmedGeek> god forbid anybody reads *anything*
[10:46] <Ertain> How can I mount a removeable hard drive?  Btw, I think it's parallel port.
[10:49] <cox377unreal> think i've worked it out
[11:08] <cox377> right.. well i got into the root account, thanks for the link
[11:08] <cox377> but.. i still cant set up network shares
[11:08] <cox377> basically trying to get folders that i can share on my network
[11:12] <cox377> Kool... should always learn to save firewall settings first
[11:12] <cox377> ; )
[11:12] <pd273> Hi cox377
[11:12] <pd273> did you get guarddog to work
[11:13] <cox377> Mate.. i never managed to get it installed.. got firestarter installed but it blocked my access all the time so i have to turn it off
[11:13] <pd273> thats a problem I had with guarddog too, but after setting it to my likings things started working
[11:14] <pd273> I have it running now :)
[11:14] <cox377> thing is.. the other linux system that i set up is for my mom. Shes now been using it for about a week and is fine.. 2 things i need to get done is a visable firewall and get a client to check her hotmail emails
[11:14] <cox377> which one u running 273?
[11:14] <bulltitan> :D there's another flavor!!!!
[11:14] <pd273> am running guarddog
[11:14] <pd273> for my personal mails am using thunderbird
[11:15] <cox377> how did u get guarddog installed?
[11:15] <bulltitan> nubuntu :P what is it for this time
[11:15] <pd273> apt-get install guarddog
[11:15] <cox377> WTF
[11:16] <cox377> it actually worked this time
[11:16] <pd273> if you have not setup your repositories properly you should read this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[11:16] <pd273> cool
[11:16] <pd273> so its working
[11:16] <cox377> yeh basically.. the reason i was asking for a firewall is because this extention for TB to get hotmail working requires three ports open so i thought if i opened them manually it might work
[11:16] <pd273> all these front ends utilise iptables
[11:16] <cox377> it's downloading yeh
[11:16] <cox377> this extention app shows if the ports are open or not
[11:16] <pd273> actually the firewall only creates holes for you
[11:17] <pd273> did you get hotmail to work
[11:17] <cox377> Nah.. the ports seem to be failing to open
[11:17] <cox377> by the way.. when installing gaurddog it's saying this
[11:17] <cox377> Unable to start guarddog firewall - /etc/rc.firewall does not exist
[11:17] <pd273> no probs
[11:17] <pd273> contunue
[11:17] <cox377> well it just kinda ended
[11:18] <cox377> :d
[11:18] <cox377> : )
[11:18] <cox377> Bingo.. nice one mate..
[11:18] <pd273> it will ask you to do the settings, make sure you do a reading of ow to work with guarddog first, or else you will have the same problem of it blocking everything
[11:18] <pd273> it has good gui, you can also add custom ports to it, for example your hotmail thing
[11:19] <cox377> i did play around with it before.. on a live mepis CD>. i think i remember how to oppen the ports etc
[11:19] <cox377> Yeh man.. cheers for that.. how i can spend so long trying to get it to instal
[11:19] <pd273> it should have been the repo problem initially
[11:19] <cox377> yeh
[11:20] <cox377> I'm running 2 boxes
[11:20] <cox377> windows and linux under a KVM havent even gone into the windows box in 4 days or so.. becoming quite comfortable with kubuntu..
[11:20] <samba-ldap> hi @all
[11:20] <pd273> good
[11:22] <tekNerd__> I LOVE KUBUNTU
[11:23] <cox377> lol
[11:23] <cox377> i just get my rez upto a suitable amount.. was attempting it last night
[11:24] <pd273> I saw this line on some website "Ubuntu Kubuntu we all Buntu for Ubuntu on our desktop"
[11:24] <pd273> :)
[11:24] <jpatrick> tekNerd__: welcome  to the club
[11:27] <RawSewage> tj9991,  what's ltsp
[11:27] <tj9991> linux terminal server project
[11:28] <samba-ldap> did anybody talk in german
[11:28] <RawSewage> No
[11:29] <cox377> 273, the ports are still showing errors under that entention, is there a command to see what ports are open
[11:30] <cox377> the ports are only the pop, IMAP and SMTP
[11:30] <samba-ldap> now, the i talk in englisch
[11:30] <samba-ldap> is ther anybody that kann helb me by an apt-get install script
[11:30] <cox377> what do u need to know?
[11:33] <mindspit> i use kde in ubuntu ... should i install a fresh kubuntu rather than updating ubuntu to kubuntu ?
[11:34] <chavo> mindspit, no I wouldn't
[11:37] <pd273> mindspit: if you do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, you will have a system as good as the original Kubuntu installation
[11:37] <pd273> so you have a good KDE setup now :)
[11:38] <mindspit> pd273 ok thanks
[11:38] <pd273> cox377: you can do $sudo netstat -pant to see if the ports are open
[11:39] <cox377> just one more thing, does guarddog block everything as default?
[11:39] <pd273> if you give apply with out any settings yes it does
[11:39] <mindspit> how can i configure my usb pc web camera ? it's a qcam 330 for notebook LDC mini cute
[11:39] <pd273> but in the  advanced tab you have an option for disable firewall
[11:39] <mindspit> i want step bu step guidance
[11:39] <|lostbyte|> How do i add the konsole fonts ?
[11:40] <pd273> just for info, there is a tool called as yakuake, it is a good console, it drops from top of the screen
[11:41] <cox377> 273.. yeh it's letting the current browseers operate.. but any new ones are being blocked
[11:41] <chavo> |lostbyte|, konsole uses the same fonts as the rest of kde, only it uses monospace fonts
[11:42] <chavo> |lostbyte|, I told you this once already
[11:42] <pd273> hmm
[11:42] <|lostbyte|> chavo, oh ! so it the install_bitmat in fonts section monospace ?
[11:43] <cox377> lol
[11:43] <pd273> can you try disabling the firewall and seeing if browsers are working
[11:43] <|lostbyte|> it/is*
[11:43] <chavo> |lostbyte|, yes and no, if you have a bitmap font you can use that button
[11:43] <cox377> i can imagine for the people who know the answers to these questions that people can get very very irritating so i very much appreciate all the help given
[11:44] <pd273> hehe
[11:44] <pd273> :)
[11:44] <|lostbyte|> yes ! i have.. and i see two files appear in .fonts folder but it des'nt appear in the fonts section..
[11:44] <pd273> help to get help
[11:45] <cox377> yeh 273, by disabling the firewalll everything is working again
[11:45] <cox377> but i added HTTP from the list
[11:45] <pd273> this means that port 80 to the internet is being blocked
[11:45] <cox377> my internet radio is working from the BBC
[11:45] <chavo> |lostbyte|, looks like a bug to me
[11:45] <pd273> did you do an apply after enabling it
[11:45] <cox377> i certainly did
[11:45] <pd273> hmm  thats strange
[11:46] <pd273> are you using a proxy server /
[11:46] <pd273> ?
[11:46] <cox377> nope
[11:46] <|lostbyte|> chavo, oh ! these two files are in pcf.gz format.
[11:46] <pd273> try enabling http traffic once more it might work :)
[11:47] <chavo> |lostbyte|, yes that's a bitmap file
[11:47] <cox377> seems to be working now
[11:47] <cox377> ; )
[11:47] <chavo> font*
[11:47] <|lostbyte|> ok
[11:47] <chavo> |lostbyte|, which font do you want to use?
[11:49] <|lostbyte|> chavo, 9x15.pcf.gz one which is in .fonts. I also like clean ( which is not there in ubuntu but was there in mandriva ) and aspirin regular ( commercial )
[11:49] <|lostbyte|> kubuntu*
[11:51] <|lostbyte|> As i am on a 1280x1024 resolution and these fonts are perfect to read. Right now i am on andale mono 8 which is a little too big and 7 goes too small :(
[11:53] <cox377> with guarddog
[11:53] <cox377> do u have to enable ports for local as well as internet
[11:54] <cox377> because i cant connect to my router
[11:54] <pd273> cox377: if you are using telenet to enter your router then you might need to
[11:55] <pd273> other wise if it is through http then no need
[11:55] <pd273> anything outside your box is internet
[11:55] <cox377> it runs through https
[11:55] <cox377> and another port
[11:55] <cox377> but i cant access it even though ive added https and the port
[11:55] <noaXess_kubuntu> !easysource
[11:55] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[11:56] <pd273> hmm
[11:56] <pd273> try a refresh once more :)
[11:59] <cox377> I'm wondering if the user defined protocols are activated
[11:59] <pd273> i tried some user defined once, it was working
[12:00] <pd273> had to enter it in Advanced tab
[12:00] <pd273> and come back n Protocols and enable it there
[12:00] <cox377> i dont know the port under protocles though
[12:01] <pd273> did you add it under the Advanced tab
[12:02] <pd273> if so then in the Protocols tab you can see your newly defined once, then you apply setting to it from there
[12:02] <cox377> DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[12:02] <pd273> you can see the newly added once in the -> userdefined section in protocols tab
[12:02] <cox377> Learning something new
[12:02] <cox377> : )
[12:04] <cox377> Are these for incoming or for outgoing?
[12:04] <pd273> its general in the Advnaced tab
[12:05] <pd273> then in the protocols you have to chose if it is for outgoing or incoming
[12:07] <pd273> brb
[12:07] <pd273> am testing is I can get 1680x1050 resolution on my laptop
[12:07] <cox377> Jesus
[12:32] <Hobbsee> bleaked: ping
[12:55] <urban> do i need gstreamer in kubuntu?
[12:59] <jpatrick> urban: depends
[01:00] <urban> on what?
[01:01] <urban> do i need it if i use everything with xine?
[01:01] <jpatrick> No
[01:02] <urban> k
[01:02] <urban> thx
[01:06] <bernier> hi, i followed a tut to compile the new linux kernel and at the end while creating the .deb I got that error: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/708279
[01:13] <madmonk> hi all
[01:14] <madmonk> i've got a little problem on kubuntu dapper

[01:14] <madmonk> i've got a problem when i do switch user
[01:14] <madmonk> very often
[01:15] <madmonk> the system freezes
[01:15] <Hobbsee> !ask
[01:15] <ubotu> For information on how to ask good questions please see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html The more information you can give the better we can help you. If your going to give output of commands please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:15] <madmonk> every user do switch
[01:16] <madmonk> the system get back to the "boot" screen
[01:16] <madmonk> and freezes
[01:16] <madmonk> and i must rebbot "brutaly" :(
[01:16] <Kadran> does any one know a good tutorial in how to extend the space of my hd, i have two and need linux too see them as one mount point?
[01:16] <bernier> hobbsee: i think you're the one who can help me :P
[01:16] <madmonk> i really need to switch user
[01:17] <madmonk> or else my sister is gonna crack down my HD!!
[01:17] <h3sp4wn> Kadran: You could use unionfs
[01:17] <Hobbsee> madmonk: does this happen for all users, or just a specific user?
[01:17] <madmonk> all users
[01:17] <kbrooks> KUBUNTU!
[01:17] <Kadran> thanks h3sp4wn
[01:17] <madmonk> i don't even know where to look for logs of errors
[01:17] <bernier> i followed a tut to compile the latest question of the kernel: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560 and at step "14" while running the latest command I got that error: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/708279
[01:18] <madmonk> less often also if i just shut down a session it freezes!
[01:18] <larson9999> hello, i'm a long time mandrake user finally switching over to a deb based distro.  so far it's been pretty painless.
[01:18] <madmonk> i guess it's a kdm problem
[01:19] <Hobbsee> madmonk: ack, no idea
[01:19] <madmonk> where could i look for have more informations on my system about that?
[01:19] <larson9999> where do you change the settings so that an app opens on a double click instead of single?
[01:19] <Hobbsee> larson9999: system settings...er...
[01:20] <madmonk> larson9999: settings of konqueror
[01:20] <Hobbsee> mouse
[01:20] <Hobbsee> oh there you go
[01:20] <h3sp4wn> bernier: With or without that ck patch ?
[01:20] <bernier> with
[01:20] <madmonk> so it seems that nobody can help! I also tried on forums and ng!
[01:20] <h3sp4wn> With loads of modules removed ?
[01:20] <bernier> up to now everything worked
[01:21] <bernier> well i didnt remove any module manually
[01:21] <larson9999> Hobbsee: duh, i'm such a goof.
[01:21] <Hobbsee> bernier: er, i wonder if that's actually an error
[01:21] <h3sp4wn> bernier: Did you run make menuconfig ?
[01:21] <bernier> hobbsee: me too i wonder because i have toe .deb files done
[01:21] <katakombi> bernier, do you use splash screen on boot?
[01:22] <Hobbsee> bernier: it looks to be done - it didnt output anything strange at the end
[01:22] <scheuri> hi all
[01:22] <bernier> kk
[01:22] <larson9999> the other question i have is, "is there a gui to monitor network connections: setup, reconfig, reconnect, etc.  like there is in mandrake
[01:22] <bernier> h3sp4wn i did EXACTLY what's on the tut
[01:22] <Hobbsee> larson9999: knetworkmanager
[01:23] <madmonk> ok...i'll look elsewhere...thanx thesame
[01:23] <h3sp4wn> bernier: If you don't specifically include xtables support then you will break iptables
[01:24] <bernier> h3sp4wn: ic and how do i include it?
[01:24] <h3sp4wn> bernier: Select it in menuconfig
[01:25] <bernier> now i got 2 files created: kernel-headers-2.6.16-ck12_686_i386.deb and kernel-image-2.6.16-ck12_686_i386.deb. which one is the right one?
[01:25] <h3sp4wn> bernier: I don't use that ck patch only http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/older/patch-2.6.16-rt29
[01:25] <h3sp4wn> Both of them
[01:26] <bernier> ill try these first...
[01:27] <Hobbsee> bernier: both of them, they do different things
[01:27] <h3sp4wn> I normally just make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom4 --append-to-version=-v1 binary (you get 4 debs - source , doc , headers and image
[01:27] <Hobbsee> wonder what's in this new kernel anyway...
[01:27] <bernier> do i start with headers or image?
[01:27] <Hobbsee> bernier: just sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[01:27] <Hobbsee> it'll do both
[01:27] <bernier> kk
[01:28] <h3sp4wn> bernier: Are you using fglrx or nvidia ?
[01:28] <bernier> nvidia
[01:29] <h3sp4wn> Have a look in nvidia-kernel-source to see if there are any of the patches which you think you want before just building the raw one from nvidia
[01:31] <larson9999> ok, i'm getting there.  this might not be a kubuntu question but thunderbird isn't using my old email profile.  it wants me to set up a new email account.  know how i get it to use the old one?
[01:31] <rraajj> What's a good PDF-editor out there, if there's any...
[01:33] <bernier> ok i installed it ill reboot and see..
[01:33] <scheuri> rraajj: I dont think there are any...
[01:34] <rraajj> scheuri: Oh, I see...
[01:34] <rraajj> Well, is there any way I can edit a PDF file?
[01:34] <rraajj> Like, export it back to ODT or something...
[01:34] <larson9999> i don't have anything that's bluetooth but it's installed anyway.  can i uninstall it or is it used for other stuff?  i mean is it like the scsi stuff in that you need it even if you only have ide drives
[01:36] <scheuri> rraajj: not as far as I know...when it is pdf, reading is free, but editing is Adobes business...:)
[01:36] <rraajj> scheuri: Oh, okay. Hehehe. Thanks anyway!
[01:37] <rraajj> scheuri: I thought there was something like the Foxit Editor in Windows.
[01:37] <larson9999> rraajj: i thought there were editors.  i don't edit any but i've seen threads about editing them.  i suppose worse comes to worse you could use an app that converts it's output to pdf
[01:37] <scheuri> rraajj: well, I dont know everything...;)...but I doubt there is anything...try to search in google..."edit pdf linux" or something
[01:38] <rraajj> larson9999: Yes, that's what I thought, too. I was thinking of converting it to something editable, then convert it back to PDF when I'm done.
[01:39] <rraajj> scheuri: Hehehe. I'm going to try that. Just going to close some tabs, I've been surfing all day long... Thanks again!
[01:40] <bernier> alright, it didnt work
[01:41] <bernier> i got the kernel loading right after the "grub" then the screen turna black but never get something else
[01:42] <larson9999> rraajj: my quick google shows there are work around solutions but maybe not a editor proper and maybe not 100% compatible either
[01:43] <rraajj> larson9999: Oh, that'd be fine. The files I'm editing are mostly composed of colored rows and texts, anyway... Not too much of them diagram stuffs.
[01:43] <ArmedGeek> rraajj: kword can import pdf
[01:43] <larson9999> rraajj: then google.com/linux and serch away
[01:44] <winbond> anyone in here using xgl with kde?
[01:45] <larson9999> so far kbuntu is treating me at least as well as mandriva did
[01:46] <winbond> i tried mandriva 2006 , kubuntu rocks on the same system compared to mandriva
[01:46] <larson9999> soon as a figure that thunderbird thing out, i'll be golden.
[01:47] <winbond> the only think i liked about mandriva that it had raid and ati drivers out of the box
[01:47] <winbond> g
[01:48] <winbond> but the performance was pretty bad ,
[01:48] <larson9999> winbond, well i couldn't get earlier versions installed on this system.  i figured it was because it's smp.  i was going to switch earlier but kept with mandriva for that reason.  as for performance... i see no difference
[01:48] <larson9999> i like the debian version of freedom better
[01:48] <winbond> i guess that depends on the system drivers
[01:49] <winbond> i have nf4 and it sucked on it , but kubuntu is fast
[01:49] <larson9999> the level of tweaking i've had to do on bother so far has been pretty similar
[01:49] <winbond> what do you tweak?
[01:50] <larson9999> winbond: not talking performance tweaking.  talking stuff like apci=noirq boot parameter
[01:51] <larson9999> and in mandriva i had to put the nvidia driver in modprobe.preload.  that kinda stuff
[02:12] <bernier> what's the command to  remove directories?
[02:12] <bernier> sudo rm "something" "thefile"
[02:12] <bernier> what's the something?
[02:12] <gobbe> man rm
[02:13] <bernier> got it it's: rm -r
[02:13] <gobbe> yea
[02:15] <scheuri> uuhmm...someone should tell him to be careful!
[02:16] <geneo93> rm -r /
[02:17] <scheuri> geneo93: stuff like that makes it hard to help people here...:)...
[02:17] <scheuri> ouch...okay....thats the other way...;)
[02:17] <Hobbsee> scheuri: :)
[02:19] <lisko> hi
[02:19] <scheuri> hi
[02:19] <scheuri> uh, too slow
[02:19] <Hobbsee> scheuri: it always makes me wonder though - did they think it was a ban or something?  why havnt they come back yet?
[02:20] <scheuri> Hobbsee: hehh...true...but well, maybe they perfectly know what they did and are emberassed now
[02:20] <Hobbsee> must be
[02:20] <Hobbsee> i havent seen any PM's about it...
[02:20] <scheuri> Hobbsee: especially they got "punished" by an OP
[02:21] <scheuri> uhmm...there is a "because" missing
[02:22] <Hobbsee> scheuri: heh, yeah
[02:22] <scheuri> Hobbsee: why? want to go to sleep? ;)
[02:23] <Hobbsee> scheuri: hehe no, i want to test out an alias
[02:24] <scheuri> ;)
[02:24] <Hobbsee> oops...
[02:24] <Hobbsee_> drat.  kicked the wrong one.
[02:24] <scheuri> errare human est...or something...;)
[02:25] <Hobbsee> cool
[02:25] <Hobbsee> i have a more working remove alias :D
[02:26] <PSIplus> hi
[02:27] <larson9999> here's a silly question.  how to i tell which repository i need to add to get an app that doesn't show in my repositories, now.  for instance ppracer isn't found.
[02:28] <Hobbsee> larson9999: apt-cache search ppracer
[02:28] <Hobbsee> larson9999: it changed its' name
[02:28] <Hobbsee> !info planetpenguin-racer dapper
[02:28] <PSIplus> I've a tricky problem... whenever I use utf8 under kubuntu dapper... whenever i open a doc in kate via fish:// it opens it with utf8 ... but on the documents are in iso8859-15... is there a way to force it to a distinct encoding for this connection, so that I don't have to set the encoding for each single document?
[02:28] <ubotu> planetpenguin-racer: (another 3D racing game featuring Tux, the Linux penguin), section universe/games, is optional. Version: 0.3.1-5ubuntu2 (dapper), Packaged size: 242 kB, Installed size: 700 kB
[02:28] <Hobbsee> larson9999: packages.ubuntu.com or the bot will find where the package is, or often has a factoid on it.
[02:30] <larson9999> Hobbsee: thank's i'll bookmark that
[02:31] <pd273> !ati
[02:32] <pd273> !nagios
[02:32] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, pd273

[02:45] <satempler> Hobbsee: beta 1 but its been released
[02:45] <satempler> so I am compiling the relesed one
[02:45] <Hobbsee> satempler: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kopete/
[02:45] <satempler> ok
[02:46] <satempler> thanks
[02:46] <Hobbsee> it's not *fully* up to date - it needs another dep if you want yahoo webcam support
[02:46] <satempler> ya I have the jasper already
[02:46] <scheuri> jriddell is the main Kubuntu-Dev?
[02:46] <Hobbsee> scheuri: yes
[02:46] <Hobbsee> satempler: cool

[02:47] <scheuri> Hobbsee: thanks
[02:47] <satempler> cool he has the Oxygen Icons
[02:47] <darmou> I recently upgraded to dapper and am using kubuntu, I have no sound how can i reactivte my audio?
[02:48] <Riddell> hmm, I should hide that

[02:50] <RandomDude15> hey
[02:50] <RandomDude15> anyone her?E
[02:50] <RandomDude15> *anyone here?
[02:51] <Riddell> RandomDude15: plenty, and we're all good looking too
[02:51] <satempler> oh
[02:51] <RandomDude15> I installed the nvidia drivers.
[02:51] <RandomDude15> using apt.
[02:51] <RandomDude15> and want them to take effect.
[02:51] <RandomDude15> my games are running slow.
[02:52] <RandomDude15> my xorg.conf file has         Driver          "nv"
[02:52] <RandomDude15> do I have to change it to something elese for it to take effect?
[02:52] <emonkeylap> change it to nvidia
[02:52] <emonkeylap> and restart the Xserver
[02:52] <RandomDude15> or something like nvidia-glx
[02:52] <emonkeylap> change "nv" to "nvidia"
[02:52] <elBarto> I am using wvdial for my dial up connection. What is the propper way to end that? Is there a command to stop it? Currently I am hitting ctrl+z but then when I try to connect again the modem is busy.
[02:53] <RandomDude15> I installed nvidia-glx in apt
[02:53] <RandomDude15> Ok.
[02:53] <RandomDude15> ill change it
[02:53] <emonkeylap> RandomDude15, don't forget to restart the X-Server after that
[02:53] <RandomDude15> changed.
[02:53] <RandomDude15> brb
[02:53] <RandomDude15> yeah I know.
[02:53] <RandomDude15> brb restarting x server
[02:53] <satempler> Riddel is the Kopete you made have voice support for Jabber/Google Talk
[02:54] <emonkeylap> elBarto, why you don't use kppp?
[02:55] <cef> I'm running some kde apps under plain ubuntu, but I can't seem to get kcontrol to allow me to set up socks. I'm trying to use the Dante libs. Any ideas?
[02:55] <kkathman> I officially want to go on record to say kmail is the worst thing ever devised by man (well ok maybe the 2nd or 3rd).
[02:55] <elBarto> It gioves me an error when I try to use it. Something about a configuration srcipt.
[02:55] <cef> kkathman: no way. it's heaps better than evolution.
[02:56] <kkathman> cef:  yes and Id like to have legionairre's disease more than AIDS also
[02:56] <cef> kkathman: heh
[02:56] <kkathman> once you use kmail...you cant migrate the mail to anything
[02:56] <cef> kkathman: what's your beef with it?
[02:56] <kkathman> see above
[02:57] <cef> you can't?  Kmail doesnt use a standard mbox format so things that use mbox dont import :(
[02:58] <cef> and when you make a mailbox, you can decide wether it's maildir or mailbox.
[02:58] <kkathman> cef: yes.. but its not a standard mbox
[02:58] <cef> ahh.. what are you trying to import it into?
[02:58] <kkathman> cef to Thunderbird
[02:58] <kkathman> Ive gone through all the T-bird support forums
[02:58] <cef> kkathman: oh dear god no. seriously, tbird's importing stuff is HORRIBLY broken
[02:59] <kkathman> T-bird's procedure apparently works if you have a standard mbox
[02:59] <RandomDude15> ok I changed nv to nvidia and it just sits there
[02:59] <RandomDude15> with the kubuntu logo
[02:59] <RandomDude15> boot logo that is
[02:59] <kkathman> cef:  theoretically, t-birf doesnt need to import
[02:59] <cef> well, if crashing is considered working, then yes I can see it's working
[02:59] <kkathman> its supposed to read mbox natively
[03:00] <kkathman> so this either works only in the Windows version of T-bird, or Im not getting mbox file right
[03:00] <kkathman> I DO know that t-bird linux is severely limited, but I'd thing they would want an import from kmail
[03:00] <RandomDude15> well anyone there?
[03:01] <kkathman> but then Linux isnt Mozilla's main market
[03:01] <ddh> j #kvpnc
[03:02] <RandomDude15> ?
[03:02] <cef> kkathman: well, only other thing I can suggest is using something like archivemail (in universe) to export/archive your mail to mbox files.
[03:03] <ddh> slash missing ;o)
[03:03] <larson9999> kkathman: i don't think linux is mozilla's maing market, yet
[03:03] <kkathman> lol exactly
[03:03] <larson9999> if reactos gets going like it looks like it might, it may never well be
[03:03] <cef> RandomDude15: sorry, don't know the detail of your problem. what nvidia card/chipset do you have?
[03:04] <kkathman> well for some reason yesterday, kmail just started turning all my messages into "unknown" and blank emails when I clicked on a message
[03:04] <AngryElf> i've got a script that is +x in ~/.kde/Autostart and it doesn't run when I log in
[03:04] <kkathman> I restored back to a previous save of the kmail folder, and it righted itself, but Im a bit skittish now
[03:04] <AngryElf> If i manually run it champagne falls from the sky
[03:04] <perrin> hi,  im having some trouble getting the sound to work in kubuntu.  can anyone help?
[03:05] <cef> AngryElf: are you SURE it doesn't run, or that it just fails to do what you expect?
[03:05] <AngryElf> it's suppose to start 3 things
[03:05] <AngryElf> none of them are running
[03:06] <AngryElf> how would i find out if it's run or not
[03:06] <cef> AngryElf: does it have something like "#!/bin/bash" on the first line?
[03:06] <AngryElf> yes, it wouldn't run manually if it didn't
[03:06] <AngryElf> the script itself isn't flawed
[03:06] <darmou> found out the the no sound problem using dmesg the sound module did not load on boot properly, modprobe fixed it
[03:06] <darmou> hmm and Dapper is supposed to be more reliable ha
[03:07] <cef> AngryElf: just checking. tried adding something before the commands like: "touch ~/yes_i_got_here" ?
[03:07] <RandomDude15> FX5200
[03:07] <AngryElf> mmk
[03:07] <AngryElf> it's hidden, is that a prob?
[03:07] <Celeste> hi
[03:08] <perrin> darmou: ok, i dont know what u just said.. lol   im reasonably new to linux.  i know about modprobe and dmesg, but no idea what they do
[03:08] <svivian> Good morning all. I have a question regarding dual monitors on Dapper. I have installed xorg-fglrx, and run the commands found on the Ubuntu ATI Wiki and a certain post in the bit-tech forums: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=109656 . Now, my machine stretches the desktop across both monitors as I want. The problem is that the desktop surface on each monitor is larger than the actual screen, so that I have to drag the cursor off the
[03:08] <svivian> the desktop on each screen. Any thoughts on how to correct this so each monitor displays the whole desktop "surface"?
[03:08] <cef> RandomDude15: ok.. does 'lsmod|grep ^nvidia' output anything?
[03:09] <larson9999> linux rocks
[03:09] <perrin> yeah when u know it well enough to get basic stuff working
[03:10] <cef> AngryElf: it starts with a . ? that could be a problem.. might skip dot-files
[03:10] <perrin> frustrating when changing over from windows
[03:10] <obscurite> i'm having trouble gettting my ath0 to connect to my wifi network. anyone having issues with the dapper madwifi support?
[03:10] <moopere> no issue with madwifi here
[03:11] <moopere> obscurite: what issues are u hitting?
[03:11] <cef> anyone here got KDE working with a socks proxy?
[03:12] <RandomDude15> ill check it out soon
[03:12] <RandomDude15> im in windows now
[03:14] <cef> RandomDude15: ok.. that will tell you if the nvidia module is loaded. it should spit out something like: "nvidia               4552692  12" or something similar. If si, then it "should work". is the FX5200 in a laptop perchance?
[03:15] <perrin> is anyone able to help me with a sound issue in kubuntu?
[03:15] <larson9999> errr, why wouldn't make be installed by default?
[03:15] <RandomDude15> no im running a deskop that I built.
[03:15] <cef> larson9999: you need to install the build subsystem. "apt-get install build-essential"
[03:16] <RandomDude15> and I've had the card for like 2 years
[03:16] <RandomDude15> in this computer
[03:16] <cef> or use whatever the kde equivalent of synaptic is (sorry not really a kde person)
[03:16] <Hobbsee> adept
[03:16] <cef> RandomDude15: just asked cos I have exactly that chipset in my laptop, and I had issues with the LCD screen
[03:16] <svivian> Anyone here experienced with display settings/configurations?
[03:17] <winbond> does anyone know where the firefox config file is at?
[03:18] <RandomDude15> yeah I have an LCD.

[03:26] <exceswater> hi ppl
[03:26] <trizzton> hi exceswater
[03:26] <exceswater> who can tell me how to install return to castle wolfenstein
[03:26] <exceswater> :D
[03:26] <exceswater> i have the kit
[03:26] <exceswater> but i dunno the comand
[03:26] <exceswater> i am not used to install things on linux
[03:26] <exceswater> :d
[03:27] <trizzton> well , i am new to kubuntu
[03:27] <h3sp4wn> McScruff: You can do it with snd (but you need to know emacs keybindings and I don't)
[03:27] <scheuri> exceswater: well, there are dozens of websites explaining it...what to do on the command line to install Wolfenstein
[03:27] <scheuri> exceswater: never did myself though
[03:28] <exceswater> ok
[03:28] <exceswater> 10x
[03:29] <exceswater> !install et
[03:29] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, exceswater
[03:31] <RogueJediX> Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to just chmod +x the linux installer and run it?
[03:31] <New2Kub> hello
[03:31] <trizzton> exceswater:
[03:31] <exceswater> i am noob to linux
[03:31] <exceswater> yup

[03:32] <trizzton> it should be easy to install it
[03:32] <exceswater> i have something like that
[03:32] <RogueJediX> exceswater: You said you have "the kit". What did you mean by that? A file?
[03:32] <trizzton> ok , do this
[03:32] <trizzton> chmod
[03:32] <exceswater> et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:32] <RogueJediX> exceswater: It's easy then
[03:33] <exceswater> this is the file
[03:33] <trizzton> chmod +x etfile
[03:33] <exceswater> thank you for helping
[03:33] <RogueJediX> exceswater: chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:33] <RogueJediX> And then
[03:33] <RogueJediX> ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:33] <pd273> cox377: you still there
[03:33] <trizzton> then you should do this   /etfile
[03:33] <trizzton> sorry is  ./etfile
[03:34] <trizzton> yeaaaaah do chmod +x et-linux-2-therest
[03:34] <defrysk> just use the sh command
[03:34] <defrysk> sh blah.run
[03:34] <RogueJediX> exceswater: And by the way. That's not Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the single-palyer game. That's Enemy Territory
[03:35] <adamant1988> hi all
[03:35] <trizzton> exceswater: i recommend you the exelent mod for ET  ( True Combat Elite )
[03:35] <exceswater> it doesn't work
[03:35] <exceswater> after what you said
[03:35] <adamant1988> Could anyone here look at a wallpaper I made and see what you think?
[03:35] <trizzton> i play it in my other machine with mandriva
[03:36] <exceswater> i should input in console: chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:36] <trizzton> yeahhhhhhh
[03:36] <exceswater> and it says cannot find the file
[03:36] <RogueJediX> adamant1988: Sure
[03:36] <exceswater> yes adamant1988
[03:36] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Are you in the folder where the file is?
[03:36] <exceswater> i would like to see it too
[03:36] <trizzton> you should specify the path of the file
[03:36] <exceswater> with conqueror yes
[03:36] <klerfayt> exceswater: open konsole and type  sudo /pathtoet
[03:36] <adamant1988> http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8247/kubuntuwp6qk.jpg
[03:37] <adamant1988> I'm thinking about putting it on art.ubuntu.com if it's good enough =\
[03:37] <adamant1988> I tried to use kubuntu blue compatible colors
[03:37] <RogueJediX> adamant1988: Very trippy
[03:37] <RogueJediX> I like it :P
[03:37] <trizzton> that is good work adamant1988
[03:37] <klerfayt> exceswater: by the way - et is dead
[03:37] <exceswater> sudo /home/exceswater/Desktop/waterman/kiturijocuri
[03:37] <exceswater> like that
[03:38] <trizzton> well , you should know where the file is
[03:38] <exceswater> ??
[03:38] <obscurite> moopere - iwconfig shows the proper essid and key, but dhclient wont pick up anything
[03:38] <adamant1988> should I submit it?
[03:38] <exceswater> i know where the file is
[03:38] <adamant1988> and does anyone want the GIMP image?
[03:38] <exceswater> adamant1988:  submit it ,.. it's nice
[03:38] <trizzton> or where you saved to
[03:38] <RogueJediX> adamant1988: Don't see why you shouldn't. Go for it
[03:38] <New2Kub> I have a KDE question
[03:39] <adamant1988> I want to release all my work under a share alike policy, so if anyone wants the GIMP image just let me know in a pm or something
[03:39] <New2Kub> how do you make it so that the task bar only shows applications for the window that your working in?
[03:39] <obscurite> anyone have any ideas? my ath0 won't dhclient even with the net/key set properly
[03:39] <trizzton> exceswater: what happend ?
[03:39] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Just to be on the safe side. Do you want RTCW or ET?
[03:40] <exceswater> et
[03:40] <exceswater> cause it's free
[03:40] <exceswater> :D
[03:40] <h3sp4wn> adamant1988: Do you think you could have the same thing but just with a black background and white text (shades) I don't know anything about graphics
[03:40] <exceswater> somebody said it's dead
[03:40] <exceswater> did he meaned that there are no more players... or servers available ?
[03:40] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Just checking. Then, open your console and cd over to the folder where you downloaded the file
[03:40] <trizzton> i love unreal tournament in linux
[03:40] <trizzton> runsssssssssss smooth
[03:40] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Then do all the stuff we told you
[03:40] <exceswater> i dunno how to do that
[03:40] <exceswater> :d
[03:41] <exceswater> i don't know how to cd in linux
[03:41] <exceswater> cd dir
[03:41] <exceswater> cd dir
[03:41] <exceswater> etc ?
[03:41] <exceswater> :D
[03:41] <obscurite> new2kub - uncheck show windows from all desktops under config panel -> taskbar
[03:41] <RogueJediX> exceswater: K -> System -> Terminal Program (Konsole)
[03:41] <defrysk> cd /wherever/yo/want/to/go
[03:41] <trizzton> just go to the directory where the file et-the-rest is
[03:42] <exceswater> first step ok
[03:42] <pd273> !fglrx
[03:42] <New2Kub> Thanks :)
[03:42] <trizzton> ok show me the path
[03:42] <RogueJediX> exceswater: All righty, then. Do you know where you saved the file?
[03:42] <trizzton> to make sure
[03:43] <obscurite> any ideas on how to debug my ath0?
[03:43] <RogueJediX> Hey, adamant1988. Is that a blurred cog in  the background?
[03:43] <exceswater> yes
[03:43] <exceswater> now i have the path in konsole
[03:43] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Then cd to the folder you saved it in
[03:44] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Oh, you already did that?
[03:44] <exceswater> i did that
[03:44] <trizzton> exceswater: show the path to make sure you are in there
[03:44] <exceswater> now ?
[03:44] <exceswater> this is the patch
[03:44] <exceswater> path
[03:44] <exceswater> path: /home/exceswater/Desktop/waterman/kiturijocuri
[03:44] <trizzton> chmod +x et-.x.x.x.x.x.x
[03:44] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Now do that chmod +x stuff we told you
[03:44] <adamant1988> RogueJediX: no, I painteed the BG by hand.   The only cogs are in the logo and I made them very visible.  I tried not to change them.
[03:45] <RogueJediX> adamant1988: Oh. I thought I saw a part of a cog in the middle-tolower right of the picture
[03:45] <exceswater> i did that : exceswater@exceswater:~/Desktop/waterman/kiturijocuri$ chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:45] <exceswater> and nothing happens
[03:45] <trizzton> yeahhhh
[03:45] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Good, that's good
[03:45] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Now do
[03:45] <RogueJediX> ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[03:45] <New2Kub> are hte ubuntu and kubuntu source lists the same?
[03:45] <RogueJediX> Note the dot and the slash
[03:46] <New2Kub>  I ask because I want a source list that will let me get media codecs
[03:46] <exceswater> something started
[03:46] <exceswater> i am so dumb
[03:46] <exceswater> :d
[03:46] <trizzton> ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh exceswater
[03:46] <exceswater> my problem is time :D
[03:46] <New2Kub> and I am only finding them from Ubuntu
[03:46] <adamant1988> nope RogueJediX you're looking too hard. That's all hand painted no shapes in it intentionally
[03:46] <exceswater> i don't have time
[03:46] <adamant1988> you can view the GIMP image if you like
[03:46] <exceswater> i stay on my pc on the run...
[03:46] <trizzton> the graphical installer
[03:46] <RogueJediX> adamant1988: I know. I'm weird like that :)
[03:47] <trizzton> welll you know how to do it now
[03:47] <exceswater> it would be really nice to have an install like in win
[03:47] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Now all you have to do is tell it where you want it and play the thing
[03:47] <exceswater> for noobs like me
[03:47] <winbond> how do i open a file in kde as root so i can edit ?
[03:47] <trizzton> try the True Combat Elite mod
[03:47] <exceswater> nice
[03:47] <exceswater> after that install
[03:47] <trizzton> the is the best
[03:47] <exceswater> i have to run a patch
[03:47] <exceswater> where can i find that mod
[03:47] <exceswater> :D
[03:47] <exceswater>  ?
[03:47] <svivian> Anyone here experienced with display settings/configurations?
[03:47] <trizzton> a patch fo what ?
[03:47] <exceswater> but it will be a living hell
[03:47] <exceswater> for et
[03:48] <exceswater> i found it on the same page
[03:48] <exceswater> a patch around 4 M
[03:48] <exceswater> :d
[03:48] <winbond> svivian: what r u trying to do?
[03:48] <winbond> how do i open a file in kde as root so i can edit ?
[03:49] <svivian> winbond:  I have installed xorg-fglrx, and run the commands found on the Ubuntu ATI Wiki and a certain post in the bit-tech forums: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=109656 . Now, my machine stretches the desktop across both monitors as I want. The problem is that the desktop surface on each monitor is larger than the actual screen, so that I have to drag the cursor off the edge of the monitor to reach the edges of the desktop on each
[03:49] <svivian> is so each monitor displays the whole desktop "surface"?
[03:49] <charlie5> with adept, if i install a package, then uninstall it, then later on re-install it ... will the files need to be re-downloaded on the 2nd install ?
[03:49] <RogueJediX> exceswater: For all your linux gaming needs check out happypenguin.org and www.liflg.org
[03:49] <trizzton> ohhh it depends if you downloaded the lastest realese
[03:49] <svivian> winbond: try sudo vi [filename]
[03:50] <svivian> winbond: or kdesu Kate [filename]
[03:50] <trizzton> well winbond  use ( nano )
[03:50] <obscurite> I think i'm having a problem connecting to my network because the essid is hidden, or because the network is 802.11b as opposed to a/g. this is an atheros. any ideas?
[03:50] <obscurite> I can connect to other networks just fine
[03:50] <trizzton> it is easier for beginners
[03:50] <klerfayt> even though I have disabled "progress bar animation" adept still animates it
[03:50] <trizzton> i use it
[03:51] <winbond> svivian: svivian i know how to do it in the command , i want to find out how to do it in kde
[03:51] <trizzton> ALT+F2 type kate
[03:51] <winbond> svivian: did you go to your video control panel and look at the options?
[03:51] <trizzton> the enter your there
[03:51] <trizzton> you are there
[03:51] <exceswater> RogueJediX:  is very nice
[03:51] <svivian> winbond: right-click on the file in Konquerer, go to Actions, select "edit as root"
[03:52] <exceswater> my only problem is that i try to avoid aditional costs
[03:52] <exceswater> :d
[03:52] <exceswater> this is my computer from the job
[03:52] <exceswater> for the other computers i have licencies
[03:52] <exceswater> for that i don't wanna pay more
[03:52] <svivian> winbond: The video control panel is kind of limited. I suspect it will require editing xorg.conf, which I have noticed has an astonishing number of redundant entries now that I have run aticonfig
[03:52] <winbond> svivian: yeah , thats what i was looking for , thanks
[03:53] <RogueJediX> exceswater: No problem there. With games like Nexuiz, Warsow, Dark Oberon, Battle for Wesnoth, etc., you're good to go
[03:53] <jaims> hi
[03:53] <exceswater> i would like to play something like age of empires
[03:53] <exceswater> but free game
[03:53] <exceswater> here is something wrong with COPS
[03:53] <klerfayt> flashplayer installation hanged http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8563/snapshot11mj.png any thoughts?
[03:53] <trizzton> hi jaims
[03:53] <jaims> :-)
[03:53] <exceswater> they are busting people for pirated software :D
[03:54] <jaims> i'd like to know wtf is the log '(pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=0)'
[03:54] <jaims> auth.log
[03:54] <winbond> svivian: you can try to reconfigure xorg.conf  , you know the command for that , right?
[03:54] <charlie5> trizzton: so if version has not changed, the download from the 1st install is re-used ?
[03:54] <jaims> how does one search what is happening?
[03:54] <trizzton> yeahhhh
[03:54] <jaims> :-)
[03:54] <obscurite> if my hard drive is constantly parking heads (and thus clicking) - how can i stop that from happening without killing power management (i'm afraid of shorter battery life)
[03:55] <trizzton> that is right charlie5
[03:55] <charlie5> trizzton: thanks :)
[03:55] <trizzton> ok
[03:55] <jaims> it's more a question about linux, rather than kubuntu
[03:55] <svivian> winbond: yes, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but I don't want to lose the ati config stuff that made the desktop work like I want it to in the first place. dpkg-reconfigure will overwrite xorg.conf, and I will lose the parts of xorg that I need in addition to the ones I don't
[03:55] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Things are rather skimpy on the RTS front on Linux. You could try Dark Oberon or Globulation 2, I suppose
[03:56] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Oh, and Glest too.
[03:57] <trizzton> svivian: just copy and paste the parts to the xorg.conf that you want
[03:57] <trizzton> that is what i do
[03:57] <exceswater> another stupid question from
[03:57] <exceswater> me
[03:57] <exceswater> :d
[03:57] <exceswater> first thank you RogueJediX
[03:57] <trizzton> just if something re-write my xorg.conf
[03:57] <exceswater> how do i start et ?
[03:58] <exceswater> now ?
[03:58] <exceswater> after install
[03:58] <trizzton> i copy and paste from the good copy of the xorg.conf that i saved
[03:58] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Well, do you know where you installed it to?
[03:58] <exceswater> yup
[03:59] <trizzton> you should see one new entry in the menus
[03:59] <DarkRavenMixage> how to enable ed2k protocol on konqueror?
[03:59] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Yeah, trizzton's right. Check out your menu for new entries
[03:59] <winbond> who was talking to me?
[03:59] <trizzton> you get it exceswater ?
[03:59] <RogueJediX> exceswater: If not, we have a backup plan
[04:00] <trizzton> or use the command line to run it
[04:00] <exceswater> i get it
[04:00] <trizzton> good job man
[04:00] <exceswater> no extra new entries
[04:00] <winbond> who was talking to me?
[04:00] <exceswater> i am not used to linux
[04:00] <trizzton> well i get confused with thix irc client ( konversation ) i like X-chat
[04:01] <exceswater> for me ... and i am not so dumb... it's hard to realize which file is executable in linux
[04:01] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Then open your console again and cd over to where you installed it and run ./et
[04:01] <trizzton> it is matter of time exceswater
[04:01] <DarkRavenMixage> how to enable ed2k protocol on konqueror?
[04:01] <winbond> svivian:
[04:01] <exceswater> ok
[04:01] <exceswater> did it
[04:01] <exceswater> now ?
[04:01] <Kadran> exceswater: after a while you will hate to see a pc running windows
[04:01] <exceswater> i allready hate it
[04:02] <exceswater> :D
[04:02] <trizzton> ohhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh
[04:02] <exceswater> i like linux
[04:02] <exceswater> i love it
[04:02] <trizzton> linux Rulz
[04:02] <exceswater> only problem is that i am noob to it
[04:02] <exceswater> but it rulez
[04:02] <RogueJediX> exceswater: Now? Now it should run
[04:02] <trizzton> yeahhhhhhhh everybody is always learning in linux
[04:03] <winbond> svivian: when you dpkg-reconfigure it automatically makes a backup of your old file , so if things dont work out just delete the xorg.conf and rename the backup to xorg.conf and reboot x and youre back to where youre started
[04:03] <exceswater> something started
[04:03] <exceswater> :D
[04:03] <RogueJediX> exceswater: That would be Enemy Territory. Enjoy.
[04:03] <Kadran> DarkRavenMixage: i usually do copy and paste :D
[04:03] <svivian> trizzton: My problem is that I don't know specifically which parts I do and don't need. I was hoping someone had done something similar and knew what didn't need to be there.
[04:03] <DarkRavenMixage> kadran so there is no way? i'm able to configure under firefox but not under konqueor and i like konqueror LOL
[04:04] <svivian> winbond: I think I have that already from aticonfigure. I just looked, and there are three other xorg files in addition to the active .conf file.
[04:04] <trizzton> you are using an ati card right ?
[04:04] <Kadran> DarkRavenMixage: me too konqueror is more than a browser ;)
[04:04] <DarkRavenMixage> kadran very fast
[04:05] <h3sp4wn> You can use the gecko rendering engine in konqueror apparantly
[04:05] <svivian> trizzton: Yes, I have a fireGL V3100
[04:05] <RogueJediX> h3sp4wn: You can?
[04:05] <trizzton> just use logic svivian and compare and find out ,  i am still new to linux and use a lot logic
[04:05] <Samuli^> konqueror looks fine for me in gnome
[04:05] <winbond> svivian: yeah , when you do the --aticonf it also makes a backup,  .original, kubuntu just puts dates in the name at the end of the file
[04:05] <Samuli^> jsut like it looks in KDE
[04:05] <jaims> bye!
[04:06] <h3sp4wn> Don't know exactly how to do it but there is a tutorial somewhere
[04:06] <klerfayt> flash screwed adept somehow if I run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" I get "Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu3) ..." and nothing else happens
[04:06] <exceswater> well
[04:06] <exceswater> the game is installed
[04:06] <trizzton> i use nvidia cardsssss they work great in linux svivian
[04:06] <exceswater> it crashed somewhere
[04:06] <exceswater> but  :D is ok
[04:07] <trizzton> well guys time to go to work
[04:07] <svivian> trizzton: This V3100 worked fine under Breezy. I only upgraded because kdesu stopped working, and Dapper has several stability fixes and features I like.
[04:07] <winbond> svivian: thats all i can tell you ,i havent set up dual monitor yet
[04:07] <h3sp4wn> trizzton: What nvidia card would I need for equivalent performance to a radeon 9800pro under linux ? Would a 4 pipes nvidia be faster than what I already have ?
[04:07] <Samuli^> klerfayt, how about sudo apt-get --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree?
[04:08] <Samuli^> umm add install to that.
[04:09] <RogueJediX> Actually, I think that's it, if you want flash. I told Konqueror to scan for new plugins after I installed it and it detected it just fine. Go figger.
[04:09] <svivian> Another issue I just ran into: I can't install the Foomatic drivers. I keep getting an error that the driver isn't available or I don't have rights. Since I am installing in Admin mode, the rights issue shouldn't be the problem. Foomatic is installed.
[04:09] <trizzton> dunno brother but i only use nvidia cards they don't bother me freaking drivers like the ati ones
[04:09] <trizzton> well bye guys
[04:10] <klerfayt> Samuli^: E: Invalid operation flashplugin-nonfree
[04:10] <Samuli^> klerfayt, how about sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree?
[04:10] <RogueJediX> klerfayt: You forgot install
[04:11] <klerfayt> RogueJediX: forgot what?
[04:11] <klerfayt> RogueJediX: I tried to install flashplugin-nonfree, adept hanged at 93% I rebooted, and now /var/lib/dpkg/ is locked
[04:11] <RogueJediX> klerfayt: What Samuli^ just said. You did sudo apt-get --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree, but you forgot to put "install" after "apt-get"
[04:12] <RogueJediX> klerfayt: Oh. Then nevermind. A bit out of my league, I think
[04:12] <klerfayt> how to unlock dpkg ?
[04:12] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hey, somebody can help me with a udev rule file for the IPOD?
[04:13] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i used the following rule line: BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Apple*", SYSFS{model}="ipod*", KERNEL="sd?2", SYMLINK+="ipod"
[04:13] <Samuli^> klerfayt, hmm.. sudo init 1  and then sudo init 2 :) <-- It's almost a reboot
[04:14] <Samuli^> other than that you could see if you have adept or other package manager still running in the background.. if they're zombies I don't know how to get rid of them.
[04:14] <klerfayt> Samuli^: I'll reboot

[04:57] <winbond> Tomze: i found the setting for firefox, it was off , i changed it to auto, only one option left
[04:57] <Tomze> winbond: uhhh.... dont ask about konqueror

[04:58] <ruggy> from what distro did you all convert to ubuntu from?
[04:58] <winbond> Tomze: what outputs are there?
[04:58] <john> i have dapper installed ?
[04:58] <Tomze> winbond: with firefox you can change sound output/engine in  /usr/bin/firefox  but dont know about konqueror
[04:58] <apokryphos> john: ctrl+alt+f1 -> then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:59] <xst> After dapper was released the number of updates has wanished to almost nothing compared to the amount of updates in the RC/beta phase. There are, however, still tons of bugs so does anyone know why the number of upgrades has flattened out?
[04:59] <Tomze> winbond: i use this for firefox :  FIREFOX_DSP=audiooss
[05:00] <r0xz> does anyone have a recommendation for a commandline rip tool that can rip a trailer (only 1:30minutes) of a cd number?
[05:00] <DaSkreechTwo> xst: Because it is stabalized
[05:00] <john> ctrl+alt+f1 no work
[05:00] <r0xz> i tried abcde, but i can't find out how to make it rip a trailer
[05:01] <Tomze> kaffeine is great at ripping streams...
[05:01] <winbond> Tomze: is audiooss something i have to install?
[05:01] <xst> DaSkreechTwo: Hmm, ok. What does stabilized mean? Is it only bugfixes that hits the repositories now, or what?
[05:01] <DaSkreechTwo> xst: Right and then only once they have been tested off the main repos
[05:01] <xst> ok. Thanks
[05:01] <Tomze> winbond: i dont think you will have to install anything... just pick the right output for konqueror (which i dont know how to do)

[05:04] <jpatrick> DaSkreechTwo: apt-cdrom add

[05:04] <DaSkreechTwo> jpatrick: ah Coolness :-)
[05:04] <svivian> john: that should allow you to redetect the keyboard
[05:04] <DaSkreechTwo> Wait. not totally what I want
[05:05] <r0xz> Tomze: not really, it lacks configuration and trailers are a no go again. abcde is just beautifull, just as jack, but i need to do it a trailer. (i know i can do it manually...)
[05:05] <svivian> DaSkreechTwo: in adept, on the file tab, go to manage repositories, add the cdrom if it isn't already there, then enable it.

[05:50] <apokryphos> obscurite: not sure I understand right... when you login via ssh, do you want the X app to come up on your computer, or theirs?
[05:50] <obscurite> apokryphos - let's say i open a root shell in konsole. i want to run xeyes. i set DISPLAY to :0 (same as my non root user). when i run xeyes i get errors about protocols, can't open display, etc
[05:51] <obscurite> apokryphos - which is normally no big deal i cause i can run any x app with kdesu or sudo, but sometimes you DO need to run an x app directly as root for certain automated installation scripts
[05:52] <apokryphos> obscurite: I believe that's covered on the sudo wiki page. Have you checked there?
[05:52] <obscurite> apokryphos - just googled so far and found some ugly workarounds. i'll check there.

[06:14] <ninHer> hi all
[06:20] <Paul_Lagrange> hi
[06:21] <skipster23> i'm having trouble watching windows media content on the web i have mplayer and i still get this error "totem could not play 'fd://0'.   Only a subtitle strem was detected bla bla bla.
[06:22] <skipster23> can anyone help
[06:22] <ninHer> seems some plug in left to install
[06:22] <skipster23> they are all installed at least all the ones from the mplayer website
[06:26] <Paul_Lagrange> does lm-sensors can screw up every video output?
[06:26] <[BU] Brizz> does anyone know if I can run a Windows program from an NTFS share using Wine?
[06:30] <BazziR> [BU] Brizz: should do
[06:31] <eclypse> hey all
[06:31] <eclypse> has anyone had any luck installing the theme baghira and it actually working?
[06:32] <eclypse> because I compiled a theme from source then installed it and it doesn't seem to be working...
[06:32] <cox377> how easy is it to actually install themes onto linux
[06:32] <cox377> has anyone ever used XPDE?
[06:32] <eclypse> not nearly as easy as windows.
[06:32] <cox377> lol
[06:32] <eclypse> I haven't.
[06:32] <eclypse> but, windows sucks lol
[06:32] <cox377> how easy is it to install??
[06:32] <eclypse> I have no idea yet
[06:32] <cox377> lol... windows plays game..
[06:33] <cox377> ; )
[06:33] <eclypse> I havent successfully installed one and made it work
[06:33] <cox377> anyone know how to get games running under linux??
[06:33] <cox377> such as counter strike source ;)
[06:33] <[BU] Brizz> cox377: depends on the game
[06:33] <DaSkreech> apt-get install supertux
[06:33] <DaSkreech> well if you have the source ...
[06:33] <cox377> supertux?
[06:33] <[BU] Brizz> cox377: CS:S is questionable because it runs on Steam
[06:34] <cox377> is there a decent medium to run games??
[06:34] <eclypse> supertux?
[06:34] <eclypse> cedega
[06:34] <cox377> are the producers of these games making them linux compat?
[06:34] <eclypse> not really
[06:35] <eclypse> only one I've seen is unreal tournament 2004.
[06:35] <[BU] Brizz> Cedega is the best but still not great
[06:35] <eclypse> too true.
[06:35] <eclypse> also, if you want to get it for free...www.limewire.com
[06:35] <cox377> what is cedega?
[06:35] <eclypse> its a windows emulation program
[06:35] <eclypse> built specificly for games
[06:35] <[BU] Brizz> It's a Windows Application Layer "Emulator"
[06:35] <cox377> Ahhh
[06:35] <[BU] Brizz> but it's not really an emulator according to them, it actually runs the application layer
[06:35] <cox377> Is it any good?
[06:35] <[BU] Brizz> it's okay
[06:35] <[BU] Brizz> but noticeably slower than Windows
[06:36] <cox377> Ahhh
[06:36] <goldenear> limewire ... hu... why to use it ?
[06:36] <goldenear> it's full of spyware
[06:36] <eclypse> so you can get cedega for free
[06:36] <eclypse> yes
[06:36] <eclypse> thats why you avoid the spyware
[06:36] <[BU] Brizz> BitTorrent
[06:36] <cox377> lol.. is there a limewire version of linux?
[06:36] <eclypse> eventually you become acustom to filesizes and all that
[06:36] <DaSkreech> eclypse: all id games are Linuxish
[06:36] <eclypse> bit torrent doesn't have nearly the diversity as limewire does.
[06:36] <eclypse> and its not as fast
[06:36] <[BU] Brizz> all id and Epic Games will suport Linux
[06:36] <DaSkreech> goldenear: Get Frostwire
[06:36] <eclypse> limewire is the best for seeking out specific files
[06:36] <[BU] Brizz> meh Limewire sucks
[06:36] <eclypse> not necesssarally
[06:37] <[BU] Brizz> it's just like Kazaa
[06:37] <DaSkreech> !tell goldenear about frostwire
[06:37] <eclypse> not even.
[06:37] <[BU] Brizz> 90% fake files by now too
[06:37] <goldenear> but you don't need limewire, you can use lmdonkey, or even shareaza if you want a win app
[06:37] <cox377> Does likewire run on linux?
[06:37] <eclypse> hell no dude
[06:37] <eclypse> limewire..I think so
[06:37] <eclypse> believe me dude
[06:37] <eclypse> I use it alot
[06:37] <eclypse> its only about 30% spyware/viruses
[06:37] <cox377> limewire is so bad.,. limewire messes up 100's of windows machines that i;ve seen
[06:37] <DaSkreech> cox377: Its java it runs on anything that java runs on
[06:37] <eclypse> and its easy to avoid the viruses
[06:37] <[BU] Brizz> 60% fake files
[06:37] <eclypse> well, thats because people are idiots
[06:37] <eclypse> and can't tell fake from real
[06:38] <[BU] Brizz> I tried to get Max Payne on Limewire once, and four out of five files were different games/music/movies/crap
[06:38] <eclypse> I KNOW the difference
[06:38] <eclypse> you see a 800KB exe
[06:38] <eclypse> its a virus.
[06:38] <eclypse> only download zip files for prorams
[06:38] <eclypse> programs
[06:38] <eclypse> most everything in the 800 kb range is a virus
[06:38] <[BU] Brizz> eclypse: I'm not that stupid. The files I downloaded were all within 40mb of each other
[06:38] <eclypse> well
[06:38] <eclypse> you must have severelly bad luck
[06:39] <eclypse> what was the filetype?
[06:39] <[BU] Brizz> no, there's just tons of fake crap on there
[06:39] <eclypse> ic.
[06:39] <eclypse> well, since I'm obviously not going to change your opinion/perspective on the matter, I'm gonna change the subject.
[06:40] <[BU] Brizz> I tried to download an mp3 once and I downloaded it about 20 times and they were all fake/broken
[06:40] <eclypse> that sucks
[06:40] <eclypse> well
[06:40] <eclypse> torrents are good for songs
[06:40] <eclypse> and downloading full albums
[06:40] <eclypse> well
[06:40] <eclypse> not songs in particular
[06:40] <eclypse> but full albums
[06:40] <[BU] Brizz> torrents have been good for whatever I want
[06:40] <eclypse> and discographys
[06:40] <eclypse> thats good.
[06:40] <eclypse> they haven't always been good for me
[06:40] <cox377> Yeh that's it.. with big commercial music brands i've heard a lot of people use limewire
[06:40] <[BU] Brizz> never had a fake file
[06:40] <eclypse> limewire is better for me when I'm seeking out the files that nobody has
[06:41] <cox377> Opps
[06:41] <cox377> use torrents
[06:41] <cox377> but with the smaller less known bands limewire
[06:41] <eclypse> exactly
[06:42] <eclypse> anyone gotten the Baghira theme working on KDE?
[06:42] <flapa> me
[06:42] <flapa> just install baghira from repos
[06:42] <flapa> and select it into kde panel
[06:42] <flapa> and compile finderbar, if you want
[06:42] <eclypse> k
[06:42] <eclypse> its in the repos?
[06:42] <flapa> sure
[06:43] <eclypse> can you give me a link/term?
[06:43] <flapa> of what
[06:43] <eclypse> baghira
[06:43] <eclypse> I couldn't use apt-get, it said package not found
[06:43] <v3ctor> sudo aptitude install baghira
[06:43] <LjL> !info baghira
[06:43] <eclypse> k
[06:43] <LjL> !info kwin-baghira
[06:43] <ubotu> kwin-baghira: (KDE theme for Apple junkies :)), section universe/kde, is optional. Version: 0.7a-1build2 (dapper), Packaged size: 642 kB, Installed size: 1848 kB
[06:43] <eclypse> whats the difference between aptitude and apt-get?
[06:43] <LjL> !aptitude
[06:44] <ubotu> aptitude is another front-end to apt, like apt-get, adept and Synaptic.  Unlike them, aptitude remembers what dependencies were installed with a package and can remove them if you uninstall. It also has a (somewhat buggy) text-mode interface.
[06:44] <flapa> :)
[06:45] <[BU] Brizz> hey is there any way to view the contents of a lnk file?
[06:45] <eclypse> icon files?
[06:45] <[BU] Brizz> ?
[06:45] <[BU] Brizz> an lnk file is a windows shortcut
[06:46] <LjL> [BU] Brizz: "hd filename"
[06:46] <eclypse> hmm, what would there be to view?
[06:46] <eclypse> paths?
[06:46] <flapa> did anyone had cat /proc/cpuinfo problems with 2.6.16 vanilla?
[06:46] <Tomze> eclypse: read aptitudes nan page on options how to leave out suggested packages
[06:46] <[BU] Brizz> the path it is linking to
[06:47] <eclypse> ic.
[06:47] <[BU] Brizz> Illustrator is stupid, it puts it's EXE like 20 folders deep...
[06:47] <eclypse> I'm installing baghira right now, I'm on dialup and I'm getting the dialup from another computer so its extremely laggy so yeah..I can't really talk too much till it finishes.
[06:50] <bobesponja> hey all
[06:50] <bobesponja> I installed kblogger but I can't start it
[06:51] <bobesponja> it's called kicker-kblogger actually, is that the same app that is on kde-apps.org.
[06:51] <bobesponja> ?
[06:53] <charlie5> after a fresh install, how do i get amarok or kaffeine to play music ?
[06:53] <eclypse> baghira is pretty nice :)
[06:54] <bobesponja> charlie5: it does play music, only non patented format because those are illegal on free software such as kubuntu
[06:54] <bobesponja> charlie5: so mp3 no but ogg yes
[06:54] <eclypse> that hela sucks
[06:55] <eclypse> mp3 is patented?
[06:55] <Olegs> Anybody received free CDs with 6.06 ?
[06:55] <charlie5> bobesponja: ah, ok, thanks ... how would i play an mp3 then ?
[06:55] <eclypse> I haven't yet
[06:55] <cox377_> bloody power cut
[06:55] <eclypse> but I haven't checked the mail in 2 days so
[06:55] <bobesponja> charlie5: you need to add universe to your source
[06:59] <charlie5> bobesponja: i think i have dapper universe in adept repos manager.
[07:05] <bobesponja> charlie5: then type mp3 in adept search box and install libmad or lame
[07:10] <pussfeller> when i right click on the desktop, its hanging
[07:11] <pussfeller> like muchlonger than usual
[07:11] <pussfeller> like its been about 10 minutes !
[07:11] <pussfeller> i suspect this is storage device or smb share related...
[07:12] <pussfeller> like in the "copy to" there might be a recent file on the 200g fat device
[07:12] <pussfeller> err recnet dir
[07:17] <charlie5> bobesponja: libmad doesn't seem to have helped (unless i need to log out/in again) ... i can only find 'toolame' ... guess i'll give that a try
[07:18] <bobesponja> charlie5: are yo sure you have libmad?
[07:18] <bobesponja> charlie5: I mean universe
[07:19] <r0xz> guys, when i do this: "cdparanoia "1[00:00.00] -[1:30] " track1.wav" i get a skitmark at the end of the file (stops two times) Is there anything i can do agains that?
[07:19] <charlie5> bobesponja: libmad0 is installed
[07:19] <bobesponja> charlie5: ok then try to install libxine-extracodecs from universe
[07:23] <charlie5> bobesponja: libxine-extracodecs is not found by adept ... maybe my universe setting is screwy ? ... altho there are other packages from universe there ... what about multiverse, could that help ?
[07:25] <bobesponja> charlie5: no it's not there sorry, try libakode2-mpeg it should be there
[07:25] <Scorpmoon> i put in the kubuntu desktop cd, and it's stopped at the kubuntu logo now
[07:25] <Scorpmoon> how do I know what the error is
[07:26] <bobesponja> Scorpmoon: what speed did you use to burn your cd?
[07:26] <Scorpmoon> 24x
[07:26] <bobesponja> Scorpmoon: kubuntu cds have lots of files and this is too much for lots of burner at that speed, try 4x or 8x
[07:27] <Scorpmoon> ok
[07:27] <bobesponja> Scorpmoon: try to run the CD from windows first to see
[07:27] <Scorpmoon> right
[07:27] <Tomze> md5summer.org
[07:30] <charlie5> bobesponja: hmm, i installed libakode2-mpeg, but still no joy.
[07:33] <Riddell> !paste
[07:33] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel! Use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting long texts as it does not distrupt the channel. You might also want to install the "webboard" package from Universe.
[07:33] <r0xz> something weird is going on in this channel....
[07:39] <obscurite> not _strictly_ a k/ubuntu question, but i'm building a box that will run k/ubuntu and the ATX12V power supply connector (20 pin) is a few pins shorter than the microatx motherboard power connector. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
[07:40] <ChefWill> get an extender then obscurite
[07:40] <obscurite> ChefWill - ahh, is that what I need?
[07:40] <ChefWill> yes
[07:40] <ChefWill> they make like 4-6" extenders
[07:41] <charlie5> bobesponja: no luck so far, but thanks for the help ... i'll try again tomorrow ... cheers
[07:41] <obscurite> ChefWIll - thanks. what's the longer connector on the microatx board called?
[07:41] <ChefWill> anyone know the applet name for knetworkmanager?
[07:42] <ChefWill> oh nm
[07:42] <ChefWill> ;o
[07:42] <Scorpmoon> bobesponja, i can view the kubuntu files from windows
[07:42] <morph_> bonsoir
[07:42] <morph_> oups bad chan , bye :)
[07:44] <obscurite> Chefwill - looks like i know what to order, thanks agin
[07:44] <ChefWill> np
[07:46] <flo> Hi ! Should a webcam basicly work on ubuntu-server or is there maybe something missing from the kernel ?
[07:49] <Tomze> flo: maybe you need the driver.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x could be the one
[07:50] <flo> yeah i have a driver and it works on my regular ubuntu laptop but not on my other pc which is running ubuntu-server so i was wondering if there might just be no webcam support in the server version of ubuntu
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> Hello all.. anyone used KDE and its bluetooth feature to browse files on a phone? I can see the  dirs but cant browse them right
[07:51] <Tomze> flo: dot know.. i dont use ubuntu
[07:51] <flo> Tomze: ok thanx anyway
[07:51] <ChefWill> where is the session preferences/startup programs option in kubuntu? its not the same as ubuntu and the guide on the kubuntu side is for ubuntu
[07:53] <Tomze> ChefWill: /home/user/.kde/Autostart ? if thats what you mean
[07:54] <ChefWill> is there no gui program to configure session/startup progs?
[07:54] <Tomze> ChefWill: startup what ?... firefox og apache or ?
[07:54] <ChefWill> no just programs
[07:56] <Tomze> ChefWill:  if you plcae a shortcut for a program in /home/user/.kde/Autostart it will start when the user log into kde... but i dont think thats what your looking for
[07:56] <ChefWill> i guess that will work
[07:56] <ChefWill> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/AddingProgramToSessionStartup?highlight=%28startup%29 is the guide, but thats for ubuntu
[07:57] <ChefWill> was seeing if there was an equivalent program, but i dont see one
[07:57] <CaBlGuY> wuttup peeps..
[07:57] <CaBlGuY> :p
[07:57] <CaBlGuY> I'm totally winblowz free now..  :)
[07:57] <Scorpmoon> My Kubuntu stops loading in the middle, files seems fine from windows
[07:58] <Scorpmoon> im going back to Ubuntu then :(
[07:59] <Tomze> yes.. installing another distro is alway better then finding a solution Scorpmoon ;)
[07:59] <Scorpmoon> i was going to check out if Kubuntu had better Xgl support
[07:59] <Scorpmoon> Ubuntu was my main choice
[07:59] <fatejudger> I refuse to help people who are that ambigous
[08:00] <fatejudger> "stops in the middle" doesn't help me figure out what's going on
[08:00] <Scorpmoon> lol you're not the first
[08:00] <Scorpmoon> well i dont get any output
[08:00] <fatejudger> XGL is in alpha
[08:00] <Scorpmoon> it just stops loading
[08:00] <fatejudger> you shouldn't be using it on your main workstation
[08:00] <Scorpmoon> i think windows are slow to update when dragging in Ubuntu
[08:03] <andrew_> How do you get firefox on Kubuntu?
[08:03] <Ashex> I keep getting this error whenever I install something with apt: http://pastebin.com/708989
[08:03] <Ashex> So far it hasn't caused any actual problems, but It's making me really curious
[08:03] <Ashex> andrew_: use apt
[08:05] <Ashex> On another note, I can't play matroska videos :/
[08:05] <Ashex> I keep getting a codec error
[08:06] <crimsun_> Ashex: with which player?
[08:06] <Ashex> all of the ones that come with kubuntu
[08:07] <Ashex> vlc, mplayer, and kaffeine
[08:07] <crimsun_> that's odd. What base type is the mkv?
[08:07] <r0xz> Ashex: my experience with mkv under linux aren't good either, but mplayer seems to get the best results here (that is, it doesn't shock but it still has problems with audio sync)
[08:08] <Vose> Anyone know about the issues with KArm it is crasshing and not working properly? e.g. does not record time
[08:08] <Ashex> Heh, I can't get the audio to sync with any videos I play in linux
[08:08] <Vose> crash report siad signal 11 or something like that
[08:09] <fatejudger> Ashex: you're outputting to ALSA and using Xine, right?
[08:09] <r0xz> crimsun_: mkv is matroska, it can contain lots of codecs i believe
[08:09] <Ashex> I believe I am
[08:09] <fatejudger> Ashex: because sometimes those OSS-ALSA compatibilty layers lag audio
[08:09] <crimsun_> r0xz: yes, that's why I asked for the base type.
[08:09] <r0xz> i see
[08:10] <Ashex> Where would I double check these settings?
[08:11] <r0xz> crimsun_: for what's worth, x264 never works here
[08:11] <crimsun_> r0xz: for any player?
[08:11] <r0xz> always out of sync
[08:11] <r0xz> yes, any player
[08:11] <Lpadmin> What does this mean: "cupsd: Child exited with status 1!"?
[08:11] <crimsun_> r0xz: not much we can do about that until edgy opens.
[08:12] <r0xz> mplayer seems to get it resynced after some time, but fails again in a few
[08:12] <Nightwish1986> Hello! Can somebody help me with my sound? It sounds scratchy with a high beep... I tried asound.conf and muting some channels in alsamixer, but no luck. Using AD1986A (alsa) on ubuntu dapper 6.06
[08:12] <r0xz> not that i use that codec much ;)
[08:13] <larson9999> ok, now to get cups www admin thingie working
[08:13] <larson9999> then i'll be just about reading to recommend this distro
[08:13] <crimsun_> Nightwish1986: pastebin ``lspci -{n,}v && cat /proc/asound/cards /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc* && amixer''
[08:13] <crimsun_> gah
[08:13] <crimsun_> way to stick around.
[08:17] <BlSabbatH> hi
[08:17] <BlSabbatH> i need help for eciadsl on kubuntu
[08:22] <obscurite> has anyone had to install their own madwifi with dapper?
[08:24] <fatejudger> obscurite: madwifi comes built into Dapper's kernel
[08:26] <Broxtor> Hi. Anybody here who can help me set up my joystick?
[08:27] <Official_C> I just looked at my memory usage and it says I am using about 370MB out of my 505MB of physical RAM and i am not even doing anything
[08:27] <Broxtor> I've got two axes working, but the throttle doesn't. Instead the POV hat is changing the values of the throttle axes.
[08:27] <BlankB> Which would be better for Kubuntu a nvidia fx-5200 or an ati-radeon 9550?
[08:28] <Official_C> and it is seriously slowing down my computer if i have a video running because it has to deallocate memory so that it doesnt have to use swap spave
[08:28] <Official_C> space*
[08:28] <Tomze> Official_C: *nix use ram different than windows... i there is free ram it will be used / allocated
[08:29] <Official_C> oh, so in Windows, it uses the page file even if its not neccessary?
[08:30] <Tomze> well.. its always in use - but dont be scared if top display all your memmory as used
[08:31] <Tomze> plug in 1 GB and 1 GB will be used
[08:31] <fatejudger> my friend got this Superkaramba widget that showed how much RAM was in use
[08:31] <fatejudger> and he got so freaked out about Linux memory allocation
[08:31] <fatejudger> that he had to turn it off
[08:31] <Tomze> adn 99 was used by superkaramba... lol
[08:31] <Tomze> *99 %
[08:31] <fatejudger> well no, he had 2 gigs of RAM
[08:31] <Tomze> superkaramba is a hog
[08:31] <fatejudger> but Linux caches a shitload of stuff
[08:32] <fatejudger> Superkaramba is really that bad
[08:32] <fatejudger> at least no in 0.39
[08:32] <BlankB> It would be better to have a widget that showed mem in use by processes vs  buffers.
[08:32] <Official_C> Tomze: i noticed that once my physical memory in linux gets down to around 6 or 7 MB, i can then open up as many apps as i want and linux will struggle to deallocate physical memory to be used for these apps, rather than just using the swap partition
[08:32] <fatejudger> *not
[08:32] <Official_C> this just seems unefficient...i dont really understand
[08:32] <fatejudger> Official_C: it's not "struggling" to do anything
[08:32] <Official_C> ends up taking me like 10 seconds to open up firefox
[08:32] <fatejudger> Official_C: how much RAM do you have to begin with?

[08:33] <fatejudger> Official_C: yes, well, Firefox sucks in Linux
[08:33] <fatejudger> Official_C: which is why Konqueror is the default web browser for Kubuntu
[08:33] <Ashex> I don't have any problems using firefox in linux
[08:33] <fatejudger> Official_C: and Firefox is about to replaced in Gnome with the default Gnome browser
[08:33] <Tomze> Official_C: well play around with "lsof" and cat/proc/meminfo and so on... i bet there is a meaning to it
[08:33] <fatejudger> Official_C: I can't remember the name off the top of my head
[08:34] <Tomze> seamonkey is great !.. runs much faster on my laptop then firefox
[08:34] <Official_C> ok, thank you both
[08:34] <fatejudger> what is the name of the default Gnome web browser anyway?
[08:35] <Official_C> maybe i will jsut go ahead and get rid of firefox then
[08:35] <defrysk> fatejudger, clueless ?
[08:35] <Official_C> Konqueror does seem faster
[08:35] <fatejudger> Official_C: just try out Konqueror for a little while
[08:35] <fatejudger> Official_C: media plays embedded in there, and it also has adblock
[08:35] <fatejudger> defrysk: heh
[08:35] <fatejudger> defrysk: it's based on Gecko
[08:36] <Official_C> cool
[08:36] <DrBair> fatejudger: epiphany
[08:36] <fatejudger> DrBair: there you go
[08:36] <DrBair> not a bad browser at all IMO
[08:36] <fatejudger> DrBair: aside from the fact that it's GTK
[08:36] <fatejudger> DrBair: and based on Gecko
[08:36] <fatejudger> DrBair: no, nothing at all :P
[08:37] <DrBair> fatejudger: but it works nice
[08:37] <fatejudger> I suppose
[08:37] <DrBair> pretty quick, nice bookmarks and toolbars, crash recovery
[08:37] <DrBair> but I still love Konq, its the reason I could never do Gnome
[08:38] <DrBair> I should start hacking konqueror...
[08:38] <Tomze> seamonkey - swiftfox - flock... all gecko based but when it comes to speed very different from FF.... IMHO
[08:38] <Official_C> when you guys download a package from the internet (not using a package manager), how do you go about installing it?
[08:38] <larson9999> ok, it looks like the cups admin thingie is working
[08:39] <Tomze> Official_C: depends on what kind of package
[08:39] <Official_C> i guess like a tar.gz
[08:39] <fatejudger> Tomze: unless they use different version of Gecko, they all should render pages at relatively the same speed
[08:39] <Tomze> fatejudger: but they dont !
[08:39] <DrBair> Official_C: ./configure, make, make install
[08:39] <fatejudger> Tomze: Swiftfox is of course built for certain processor architectures, so that might be a little different
[08:40] <DrBair> Official_C: of course you'll need a compiler and the necessary dev libraries
[08:40] <Tomze> <-- starts a seamonkey crusade
[08:40] <fatejudger> lol
[08:40] <Official_C> really? they dont just have packages containing executables?
[08:40] <jme__> seamonkey ? is that a web browser ?
[08:40] <fatejudger> Official_C: if it's a package (as in .deb) you can right click to install
[08:41] <Official_C> hmm, never seen a .deb
[08:41] <DrBair> seamonkey is the continuation of the mozilla suite
[08:41] <Official_C> always see tar.gz or rpm
[08:41] <Official_C> or others similar to that
[08:41] <Tomze> jme__: its the new name for mozilla... mozilla foundations community project... and it works with lots of FF plugins
[08:42] <Tomze> but it can be installed only as a browser if you like.... uhhhhm - seamonkey
[08:42] <psyk> im having trouble configure wpa supplicant can anyone help
[08:43] <jme__> Tomze: ah ok so now 'mozilla' is only the organization. and 'seamonkey' = the previously named mozilla program
[08:43] <jme__> ok thanks
[08:43] <Official_C> Tomze: where is ./configure located?
[08:43] <Tomze> jme__: yes... thats about it
[08:44] <Tomze> Official_C: extract it
[08:44] <ste> hey guys, anyone know how to fiddle with X to make it *always* boot straight to kdm? upgraded from breezy to dapper, everytime i boot i go straight to a terminal and i have to hit ctrl+alt+f7 to get to the nice graphical kdm logon. Not a mjor issue but slightly irritating none the less! Any help would be much appreciated :)
[08:45] <Official_C> oh ok

[08:47] <Tomze> hola betty
[08:47] <Official_C> Tomze: actually, im not doing anything, i was just wondering for future reference
[08:48] <defrysk> ste, put kdm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager (use sudo your favourite txteditor)
[08:48] <Official_C> Tomze: cause so far, i've only been using the package manager
[08:48] <ste> superstar, thanks very much ;)
[08:48] <ste> :)
[08:49] <defrysk>  /usr/bin/kdm even
[08:49] <ste> hmm

[08:50] <defrysk> ste, then I do not know you could try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-deskop
[08:50] <ste> yeah
[08:50] <defrysk> and see if anything is missing
[08:50] <ste> basically i had to do that
[08:51] <ste> my upgrade breezy-dapper
[08:51] <ste> went pear shaped, i ended up with just fluxbox and no kde
[08:51] <psyk> how do i del files in shell?
[08:51] <ste> i figure thats what has screwed eveything up
[08:51] <psyk> i need to create a .config file
[08:51] <defrysk> psyk, use the rm commmand

[08:56] <obscurite> man this is killing me. iwconfig shows my ap, essid, key, channel are all set properly, and i can see my network with iwlist scan, but i can't seem to connect
[08:56] <ChefWill> obscurite: is there an applet to control xxms thru a panel?
[08:56] <obscurite> i'm using an atheros on dapper
[08:56] <ChefWill> er, i didnt mean to ask you that obscurite ;P
[08:57] <nico8481> re
[08:57] <obscurite> ChefWill - xmms? it's all about amarok ;)
[08:57] <ChefWill> is there an applet to control xxms thru a panel?
[08:57] <ChefWill> boo
[08:58] <slow-motion> re
[08:58] <obscurite> i'm in linux wifi hell
[08:58] <uniq> chefwill: it's called "media control"

[08:58] <psyk> can you help me obscurite?
[08:59] <psyk> i need to creat a .config file
[08:59] <obscurite> psyk - probably not, since i dont use wpa
[08:59] <ChefWill> uniq: is that a part of a package or does it come with kubuntu?
[09:00] <fatejudger> has anyone had some serious performance issues with Katapult at times?
[09:00] <fatejudger> Katapult seems to often slow down to a near crawl
[09:00] <defrysk> ChefWill, xmms-kde
[09:01] <uniq> chefwill: comes with kubuntu. right click on the panel -> add panel program to the panel  ->  find media control, add it. now right click on mediacontrol and configure it. Select xmms in the list of players.
[09:01] <ChefWill> i have xmms-kde defrysk
[09:01] <defrysk> ow
[09:01] <ChefWill> uniq: i dont have an applet named that
[09:01] <r0xz> pfffff, what is wrong with freenode today?
[09:01] <defrysk> ChefWill, go to the prefs of kde and use the plugin
[09:01] <obscurite> fatejudger - my madwifi isn't cooperating. no matter what i do i can't get my ath0 on dapper connected. my intel running on breezy is fine.
[09:01] <defrysk> prefs of xmms that is
[09:02] <uniq> chefwill: are you on breezy or dapper?
[09:02] <ChefWill> dapper
[09:02] <Official_C> this might be a stupid question, but has anyone ever tried writing something to one of your devices since devices in linux are just seen as files?
[09:03] <Official_C> "i mean manually writing"
[09:03] <jme__> yep
[09:03] <larson9999> Official_C: that's done all the time
[09:03] <psyk> ok well can someone at least tell me how to edit files that are in my /etc/ folder
[09:03] <uniq> official_c: yes, it's generally a bad idea. it works as you would expect.
[09:03] <jme__> you can do 'cat /dev/null /dev/kmem' :)
[09:03] <uniq> official_c: bad idea to do manually,that is.
[09:04] <jme__> or cat /dev/kmem >/tmp/kernel_core :)
[09:04] <Official_C> uniq: i can imagine it is a bad idea, guess it wasnt such a stupid question afterall
[09:04] <jme__> i dont even know if it still work tho :)
[09:04] <larson9999> psyk: sudo vi /etc/filename
[09:04] <jme__> Official_C: not that it is stupid, it is more 'require to know what you are doing' :)
[09:04] <Official_C> i mean, if you are the root user, you can set the permissions of ANY file you want, right?
[09:05] <Official_C> even the devices
[09:05] <fatejudger> yes
[09:05] <fatejudger> you can
[09:05] <larson9999> linux rocks
[09:05] <Official_C> or actually, the devices are probably already set as "can read and write"
[09:05] <fatejudger> yes, it does
[09:05] <Official_C> since they have to be written to automatically
[09:06] <uniq> chefwill: it's in the 'kicker-applets' package.
[09:06] <Official_C> theres no way you can manually write to a device in windows is there??
[09:06] <larson9999> Hawkwind_Ubuntu: did you install ubuntu on your main system, yet?
[09:07] <Hawkwind_Ubuntu> larson9999: Not yet
[09:07] <uniq> official_c: we wouldn't know, since this is #kubuntu ;)
[09:07] <ChefWill> ah there it is uniq
[09:08] <larson9999> i think it costs $50 to do that in windows
[09:08] <Official_C> uniq: well i assumed at LEAST one person here has used windows
[09:08] <ChefWill> uniq: does it support xmms? its not listed
[09:08] <Official_C> lol, i missed the wink
[09:08] <uniq> chefwill: it's listed here.
[09:08] <Official_C> uniq: but seriously do you know the answer
[09:08] <ChefWill> hrm, not here
[09:09] <ChefWill> i just have noatun amarok, juk, mpd, kscd
[09:09] <uniq> chefwill: what's the version of your mediacontrol applet?
[09:09] <ChefWill> i just installed it
[09:10] <ChefWill> 4
[09:10] <remnon> hey
[09:10] <uniq> mine too.
[09:10] <ChefWill> :(
[09:10] <Paul_Lagrange> hi, I get some trouble from keyboard input... everything's ok while logging in, then no stroke is seen by KDE (dapper drake)
[09:10] <remnon> how can i update kubuntu to dapper the easiest way ?
[09:10] <Paul_Lagrange> any suggestion? thanks
[09:10] <remnon> as in Breezy Badger to Dapper
[09:10] <remnon> heh
[09:10] <uniq> official_c: i have no idea. you can probably do it easily as administrator with the right programs.
[09:10] <Official_C> remnon: from what i've heard, you shouldnt
[09:10] <remnon> ah
[09:11] <Official_C> uniq: oh ok
[09:11] <uniq> !update
[09:11] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, uniq
[09:11] <uniq> !upgrade
[09:11] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development verison: (eft when its open)
[09:11] <larson9999> speaking of windows... i haven't logged in to my windows box in so long i forgot the password.  going to have to try one of those hacking programs
[09:11] <Official_C> remnon: what version you got now? breezy?
[09:11] <remnon> aye
[09:11] <Official_C> remnon: stick with it
[09:12] <remnon> oh
[09:12] <remnon> how come ?
[09:12] <Official_C> remnon: I've read reviews for dapper and it is bugy
[09:12] <uniq> official_c: dapper is better than breezy for most people.
[09:13] <cox377> which one is dapper and which one is breezy?
[09:13] <DrBair> dapper is the latest and greatest
[09:13] <Official_C> uniq: really? who is it not better for?
[09:13] <Official_C> uniq: commercial users?
[09:14] <ChefWill> uniq: The media control applet does not support XMMS, as this would force all kicker-applets users to install XMMS. If you want a kicker applet that controls XMMS, install the xmms-kde package.
[09:14] <uniq> official_c: some production servers might hold the upgrade for a few months.
[09:15] <uniq> chefwill: hmm..
[09:15] <Official_C> oh
[09:15] <ChefWill> uniq: i got xmms-kde it works
[09:15] <ChefWill> it kinda sucks though
[09:16] <Official_C> uniq: well im far from an expert, i was just telling him what i read when i was trying to make my decision of which version to install
[09:16] <ChefWill> this thing is so ugly
[09:16] <Official_C> personally, i never install anything thats only a few weeks old regardless
[09:16] <konrad_> How can I play MP3 on Kubuntu, using amaroK? The procedure on amaroK's wiki doesn't seem to work
[09:16] <cox377> i dont know if anyone can help me with this.. every time i hit any of the arrow keys of any of the keys around there such as Del kubuntu decides it wants to take a screen print
[09:16] <elijahlofgren> eixt
[09:16] <cox377> i've uninstalled the screen print.. but now it just open a folder
[09:17] <cox377> anyone got any ideas?
[09:17] <uniq> official_c: for home and desktop usage, dapper is good for most people.
[09:17] <Official_C> ok
[09:19] <ChefWill> its like these people tried to make ugly skins for this
[09:19] <uniq> chefwill: i will figure this out, just hang on.
[09:20] <KuLover> Anyone haveing problems with sound on flash in FireFox
[09:20] <larson9999> kulover i haven't installed it yet, i'll tell you in a few
[09:21] <KuLover> Thanks a bunch.. I really hate having to open Konquerer every time to listen to flash
[09:21] <larson9999> in installing jre now, i'll do flash next
[09:22] <KuLover> Take your time.. just let me know when your done, thanks again.
[09:22] <McScruff> does xen run windows?
[09:22] <KuLover> Larson9999 Are you using the official flash? or the "freeplugin" verison?
[09:23] <larson9999> KuLover: i get the free one from their site.  i don't buy software for personal use anymore
[09:23] <KuLover> Sry.. the "nonfree"
[09:23] <KuLover> lol Arighty, thats the one I'm using.
[09:24] <PFA> how do i change themes on KDE?
[09:24] <m0Zzg> http://linuxff.org.ru
[09:24] <cox377> occasionally my desktop crashes under kubuntu.. is there anyway to end desktop and re-fire like u do with ending explorer and restarting within windowz?
[09:24] <uniq> pfa: k-menu -> system settings -> appearance
[09:25] <PFA> uniq: that is not there :/
[09:25] <uniq> cox377: run the command "kdesktop &" from alt+f2 run menu (if kwin didn't die) or kmenu-> run command.
[09:26] <uniq> pfa: system settings isn't there?
[09:26] <PFA> uniq: no, and neither is appearance, in either "system" or "settings"
[09:29] <uniq> pfa: kmenu -> "system settings" - there is a program directly on the kmenu.
[09:29] <Snake> how do I get ubuntus C complier?
[09:29] <Snake> Does Build-Essential come with it?
[09:30] <cox377> haha
[09:30] <cox377> alt F2 crashed the whole system
[09:31] <r0xz> cox377: then install a new hard driv
[09:31] <r0xz> e
[09:31] <cox377> what?
[09:31] <cox377> why?
[09:32] <uniq> snake: install build-essential, then you'll get a working c compiler with it.
[09:32] <Snake> uniq: thanks, I got it :)
[09:32] <PFA> uniq: ooh. thanks
[09:32] <Lpadmin> Thank God!!! :) Okay, it was an error in my cupsd.conf file.
[09:33] <r0xz> cox377: because what you tell is very VERY unlikely in a normal kubuntu system
[09:33] <cox377> it may have been because the desktop had crashed already
[09:33] <r0xz> ah i see
[09:34] <KuLover> larson9999, Hows it workin out?
[09:34] <cox377> i was reading something earlier about alt F2 and isnt there and either that or F3.. and F7 to end?
[09:36] <uniq> chefwill: you're on KDE 3.5.2 right? the code for mediacontrol says it supports XMMS if xmms was available at compiletime. And it's weird that this works for me and not you.
[09:36] <ChefWill> xmms was installed before kicker applets
[09:36] <ChefWill> installed and running
[09:37] <uniq> doesn't matter on installtime.
[09:37] <uniq> it's during production of packages.
[09:37] <uniq> that matters.
[09:38] <ChefWill> maybe uninstall kicker applet and reinstall?
[09:38] <larson9999> the chicken bucket rocks!
[09:39] <uniq> chefwill: don't think it matters. you can try though.
[09:40] <uniq> chefwill: have to go. sorry, i'll investigate more later tonight. but mediacontrol SHOULD support xmms.
[09:41] <ChefWill> hrm, still doesnt work *shrug*
[09:43] <larson9999> KuLover: so far flash works but no sound.  but i'm just setting this system up and haven't heard sound from anything, yet
[09:44] <larson9999> KuLover: when i get sound working i'll let you know if it works in flash
[09:46] <visik7> !fglrx
[09:46] <vandenoever> Riddell: _JP if you need help with kitten just ask
[09:46] <DaSkreech> That was a bit random
[09:46] <KuLover> Larson9999 on the wiki restricted page... theres someting about firefox and no flash sound.. Ill try that and see how it works
[09:48] <betty> I have a question
[09:48] <larson9999> KuLover: apparently something is different between mandriva and ubuntu because on mandriva two of the ports on my sound card spit out sound. on kubuntu only one does.  i switched to in sound works fine in flash
[09:48] <SeanTater> betty: okay -- say it
[09:48] <betty> How do I get a application to start when I login
[09:48] <SeanTater> betty: when KDE starts or when your computer starts
[09:48] <betty> when I login
[09:49] <betty> into
[09:49] <betty> kubuntu
[09:49] <SeanTater> betty: what program?
[09:49] <betty> I want my email program to start
[09:49] <betty> Kontact
[09:49] <SeanTater> betty: okay -- open a konqueror window
[09:50] <betty> k
[09:50] <SeanTater> betty: and go to ~/.kde/Autostart
[09:50] <peratu> Hello. I need help. I have installed kvlc , and qvlc, but I can't find kvlc and qvlc executables...
[09:50] <Sayz> Hey, is there a way to install Ubuntu with all its software, but with KDE instead of GNOME?
[09:50] <betty> ok
[09:50] <crimsun_> Sayz: ...that's Kubuntu.
[09:51] <DaSkreech> How do I get a program to run when I logoff?
[09:51] <jme__> peratu, go in a terminal and type 'which qvlc'
[09:51] <SeanTater> betty: go into the K menu and drag the kontact entry into the folder
[09:51] <betty> link or copy?
[09:51] <SeanTater> betty: copy will do
[09:51] <Sayz> crimsun_: I know, but to be honest, I would like to have OpenOffice and Gaim preinstalled instead of Kopete. Just a preference
[09:52] <Sayz> crimsun_: I would use Ubuntu, but KDE is nice than GNOME
[09:52] <SeanTater> betty: that's it]
[09:52] <DaSkreech> :-)
[09:52] <larson9999> you can install both
[09:52] <DaSkreech> Well uninstall kopete and install gaim
[09:52] <DaSkreech> OO.o is installed by default
[09:52] <peratu> jme__ , I have done this -> find /usr/bin -type f -name "*vlc*" , and only find vlc executable.
[09:53] <larson9999> or use gnome apps in kde and vice versa
[09:53] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: odd, I just answered a question on starting a program for logon
[09:53] <DaSkreech> :-)
[09:53] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: what program?
[09:53] <jme__> peratu: so i dunno :)
[09:53] <DaSkreech> Which triggerd my request for one on logoff
[09:53] <DaSkreech> One I wrote
[09:53] <KuLover> larson9999? Youve got sound inflash to work?
[09:53] <jme__> peratu: i would say you dont look for the proper name :)
[09:53] <larson9999> kulover yep. used nickjr as my test site
[09:54] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: -->  <DaSkreech> How do I get a program to run when I logoff?
[09:54] <KuLover> larson9999 Did you have to do anything special?
[09:54] <crimsun_> Sayz: OO.o is installed.
[09:54] <DaSkreech> RIght it's a bash script I threw together
[09:54] <DaSkreech> Would nice to have it run on logoff
[09:54] <crimsun_> Sayz: and yes, just install Gaim afterward
[09:54] <larson9999> KuLover: nope.
[09:54] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: hum
[09:54] <Sayz> crimsun_: Ok, thanks
[09:54] <DaSkreech> Little clean up script for my messy habits :)
[09:55] <KuLover> larson9999 Did you install Firefox yourslef? or get it from the package manager?
[09:55] <larson9999> kopete is better anyway, isn't it?  well gaim doesn't have camera support.
[09:55] <Sayz> crimsun_: Firefox works on KDE, right?
[09:55] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: if you are good at BASH, you could get it to run at login, and have it execute <whatever> whenever kdeinit is not on..
[09:55] <larson9999> KuLover: package manager for firefox.  the bin for flash from their site
[09:55] <DaSkreech> Sayz: Yup
[09:55] <peratu> jme__ , which and locate kvlc, or qvlc , don't show results.
[09:56] <jme__> peratu: this confirm that you dont have any excecutable of those name
[09:56] <betty> I have a question
[09:56] <DaSkreech> SeanTater: Whats kdeinit do?
[09:56] <jme__> peratu: so either you didnt install them or they dont have this name
[09:56] <DaSkreech> Though I can guess :-)
[09:56] <peratu> jme__, yes :)
[09:56] <betty> I have a lot of spam in my email. Is there any easy way to get rid of all of it or tell it to delete the spam automatically
[09:57] <SeanTater> DaSkreech: It starts processes for KDE, if it's not there, there is a 99.999% chance kde is not on, meaning there is no one logged in.
[09:57] <betty> my email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:57] <SeanTater> betty: well, annoucing your e-mail addy on the IRC will quite likely get you /more/ spam,not less
[09:58] <peratu> jme__ , I finish them installing right now
[09:58] <betty> is there any way to put up a filter to prevent more spam?
[09:58] <jme__> peratu: ok :)
[09:58] <SeanTater> betty: you use kmail, right
[09:58] <betty> ya
[09:58] <SeanTater> betty: okay -- do you know how to use adept?
[09:58] <betty> adept?
[09:58] <betty> is that the update program?
[09:58] <betty> I already updated
[09:59] <SeanTater> betty: not the update adept,
[09:59] <jme__> adept is a real good apps to handle your package
[09:59] <jme__> i love it
[09:59] <SeanTater> betty: there is another one, in "System"
[09:59] <betty> package manager
[09:59] <jme__> the first in more than 15 years of linux :)
[09:59] <SeanTater> betty: yes
[09:59] <betty> ok
[09:59] <betty> Maybe I'll try making a filter
[09:59] <SeanTater> betty: now, install spamassassin
[09:59] <SeanTater> betty: the filter in adept has nothing to do with mail
[10:00] <Nightwish1986> Hi! anyone with some experience in Soundcards/Alsa in Kubuntu who can help me?
[10:00] <SeanTater> betty: it sorts out the available programs for your system
[10:00] <SeanTater> betty: look for and install spamassassin
[10:01] <SeanTater> Nightwish1986: that's general enough I think #ubuntu will be helpful
[10:01] <SeanTater> Nightwish1986: if not, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:01] <Nightwish1986> SeanTater: thanx
[10:01] <SeanTater> betty: you still there -- got spamassassin?
[10:01] <SeanTater> Nightwish1986: yw
[10:02] <betty> hold on
[10:02] <betty> spamassassin?
[10:02] <SeanTater> hum
[10:03] <SeanTater> it would seem she is /not/ still here
[10:03] <Otis> evening .... I just installed kview and kviewshell ... how do I check if Konqueror is sending jpegs to kviewshell or not ?
[10:03] <SeanTater> Otis: what is kviewshell?
[10:03] <Otis> SeanTater: it's supposedly to let you embed kview into Konqueror
[10:04] <Otis> the usual kind of viewer : fit to window, rotate etc
[10:04] <SeanTater> Otis: there is better than kviewshell
[10:04] <Otis> ideal for fitting camera pictures onto the screen
[10:04] <Otis> ah ?
[10:04] <Otis> SeanTater: what is it ?
[10:04] <SeanTater> Otis: how about installing gwenview -- it's a great image viewer and it comes with a peice that embeds into konq.
[10:05] <SeanTater> Otis: IMO, it rules all image viewers
[10:05] <betty> ok it's installed
[10:05] <SeanTater> betty: okay -- not go into kmail
[10:05] <betty> ok
[10:05] <Otis> SeanTater: hehe, how would you know that ? you had to ask me what kview was
[10:06] <SeanTater> Otis: I know what kview is, I did not know kview/shell/ is
[10:06] <Shaezsche> what is difference between reiserfs and reiser4? whcih is better for kubuntu?
[10:06] <Otis> I'll give that gwenview thing a shot
[10:06] <uniq> shaezsche: i'd recommend ext3.
[10:06] <SeanTater> betty: now go into tools -> Anti-Spam Wizard
[10:06] <betty> then what should I do?
[10:07] <betty> ok
[10:07] <SeanTater> betty:  from there most of it should make sense
[10:07] <Shaezsche> i have heard that reiser is faster
[10:07] <betty> it's still there
[10:07] <SeanTater> Shaezsche: what data are you working with
[10:07] <KuLover> Anyone having problems playing music and such wile a micraphone is in use?
[10:07] <Shaezsche> just browsing, writing papers, listening to mp3
[10:07] <betty> I went through that step what do I do next?
[10:08] <SeanTater> Shaezsche: reiser is no faster or slower for those applications
[10:08] <SeanTater> betty: you finished the wizard?
[10:08] <SeanTater> Shaezsche: avoid reiser4 anyway -- it's still experimental
[10:09] <DaSkreech> SeanTater: Yeah Got that..
[10:09] <betty> yes
