[16:24] <Lynoure> yaccin: I don't use gnome, I can just tell it works for me...
[16:24] <Radi01> Hizzle get it fro add/remove to make it simple.
[16:24] <Radi01> from
[16:25] <yaccin> Lynoure: where would i have to comment them out?
[16:25] <Radi01> Pidgin is simple  and easy to use for beginners of ubuntu.
[16:25] <Lynoure> yaccin: well,  if your /etc/network/intefaces no longer has other interfaces that loopback, that part is fine :)
[16:25] <remotechief_311> trash:/ , is that right?
[16:25] <yaccin> Lynoure: it has eht0 (normnal network) and eth1 (wlan)
[16:25] <yaccin> and i am in this chat using wlan
[16:25] <yaccin> i removed the network cable :)
[16:26] <soulrider> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3878146#post3878146 if someone knows please answer
[16:27] <Lynoure> yaccin: Sometimes you need to break a little to fix a little, try commenting at least eth1 out, and restarting networkmanager (or just rebooting). If it does not help, you can easily uncomment them again
[16:27] <yaccin> but i want to easily switch between wireless and wired network :/
[16:27] <jembouge> remotechief_311: link to trash is   "trash:/"       :)
[16:27] <Lynoure> yaccin: then comment out both
[16:28] <Lynoure> yaccin: knetwork-manager deals with that automatically then
[16:28] <remotechief_311> jembouge: ok, thanks
[16:28] <yaccin> Lynoure: i wouldnt have any network then? o.O
[16:29] <Hamra> how can i make numlock to be "on" on startup?
[16:29] <Lynoure> yaccin: Yes, you would. It just cannot configure interfaces that are already defined
[16:29] <yaccin> hmm ok ill try taht
[16:29] <Lynoure> yaccin: and see what I said about uncommenting
[16:30] <Radi01> Lynoure: Thanks.
[16:30] <Radi01> I am lost there.
[16:30] <jembouge> remotechief_311 there's another (and better) way though
[16:30] <Lynoure> Radi01: hmm?
[16:30] <jembouge> have a look at http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/24/how-to-add-the-trash-can-to-your-kubuntu-desktop/
[16:31] <jembouge> probably doesn't work somewhere else but on the desktop
[16:32] <Radi01> I am just learning linux/It appears that linix is more logical than bill gates.
[16:32] <Radi01> apt-get uninstall./bill gates.
[16:32] <emilsedgh> hehe
[16:33] <vincent__> ^^
[16:33] <yaccin> apt-get remove
[16:33] <yaccin> not uninstall
[16:33] <yaccin> :P
[16:33] <Lynoure> Radi01: I would not bet on it, always :)
[16:34] <Radi01> Agreed/but when the linux community (and it is) catches up/bill will be wearing a sign/will work for bytes.
[16:35] <RurouniJones> Not in this lifetime
[16:35] <RurouniJones> Much as it would make me laugh to watch
[16:38] <Radi01> Interesting , leaopard is vista in mac form...
[16:38] <Radi01> total trash
[16:39] <Radi01> google it.
[16:44] <Lynoure> yaccin: you could also try connecting to your wpa trough "connect to other wireless network" and filling in the details.
[16:45] <jembouge> hi again, anyone know why I have that file "debian_version" with the line "lenny/sid" in it although I was installing GutsyGibbon?

[16:49] <viajador> Hi there! I'm having a charset issue with an external drive. It doesn't recognize symbols like "à" or "õ"
[16:49] <viajador> Can someone help me with this?
[16:50] <Lynoure> viajador: what filesystem does it have?
[16:50] <viajador> ntfs
[16:50] <jembouge> oh ok thanks stdin (I should have remembered I saw Lenny when running debian - but I ran the last one which isn't if I'm not mistaking)
[16:50] <viajador> But i have the same FS in my windows partition and everything works there!
[16:56] <Hamra> i have a problem similar to viajador's problem, i have a cd with files having arabic names, i see them as dashes

[16:59] <Hizzle> trying to install xchat is kinda hard since I dont really know what I am doing, it downloads as a .rpm file and I tried using the add/remove programs but it dont show up under search
[17:00] <Hamra> why do most companies use rpm? isnt debian more widespread? or maybe rpm packages are easier to build?
[17:01] <Lynoure> Hizzle: Why would you install xchat from a .rpm?
[17:01] <Hizzle> I dont know
[17:01] <Hizzle> it says download xchat and has linux and windows link
[17:02] <Hizzle> I hit linux
[17:02] <Lynoure> Certainly there is one natively for ubuntu, too.
[17:02] <Radi01> Hizzle is new?he needs simple walk throughs.
[17:02] <Hizzle> and all there are is .rpm's
[17:02] <Hizzle> ya I am a noob sorry need to get a linux book
[17:02] <Lynoure> Hizzle: try   sudo aptitude install xchat    instead
[17:02] <Radi01> Hizzle: in terminal type    sudo apt-get update    come back with report
[17:03] <Lynoure> Hizzle: it's ok, everything new takes its time

[17:13] <stdin> Cannoli: if it's not working, there's little else to do but remove it and/or switch to the "ati" driver
[17:14] <Hizzle> alright did that
[17:14] <Cannoli> ok so how can i remove the ati driver from both versions of linux
[17:15] <stdin> Cannoli: remove the package, or if you have gutsy use the restricted drivers manager
[17:16] <Radi01> try alt+f2
[17:16] <Radi01> xchat
[17:16] <asfak> I cannot run 3d games on my kubuntu gutsy. I have installed nvidia legacy driver as usual. Restricted manager shows the driver in use. I get this message when i start some games from konsole "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'"
[17:17] <Hizzle> says cannot run specified command
[17:17] <Radi01> try in terminal to see any possible errors
[17:17] <stdin> asfak: do you have "Load    "glx"" under "Section "Module"" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[17:17] <Radi01> xchat
[17:18] <asfak> let me check
[17:19] <asfak> stdin, glx is already there in modules
[17:20] <Hizzle> says that it is not installed and I can get it by typing sudo apt-get install xchat  which I did then it says  I need to get a program called universe b ut typed that command said different stuff it was doing then  said cannot find package xchat
[17:21] <Hizzle> (said I needed a program called universe before I typed the install command not afterwards)
[17:21] <stdin> asfak: and does "glxinfo |grep direct" show "direct rendering: Yes" ?
[17:21] <Mergitur> Hi, I followed the instructions for how to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. About halfway through I got an error involving kdepim and kmail not being able to upgrade, and eventually the entire upgrade shut down. Is there any easy way for me to get the upgrade working or will I have to do a reinstall to get to 7.10?
[17:21] <asfak> no,
[17:21] <jhutchins> Hizzle: I don't think universe is a program, I think it's a repository.
[17:21] <MementoMori> In my kubuntu I have 62 groups. Most of them are system groups. Where can I find their meaning and what are supposed to do?
[17:22] <Hizzle> ya says I need to enable the component

[17:23] <sylvain-fr> can someone help me please ?
[17:23] <asfak> stdin, i am new to IRC, can u please help, how to post to pastebin ?
[17:23] <Radi01> then click internet and click xchat
[17:23] <sylvain-fr> my question is about filesystems
[17:23] <stdin> !paste | asfak
[17:23] <ubotu> asfak: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)

[17:24] <MementoMori> jhutchins: thank you
[17:24] <sylvain-fr> Is there any File System which both Linux and BSD can read and write ?
[17:24] <jhutchins> Hizzle: When ubotu refers you to a web page it's because the answer to your question is too complex to post here easily.  You should at least skim the web page before proceeding.
[17:25] <stdin> sylvain-fr: can't bsd write to ext2/3 ?
[17:25] <Radi01> @ the top you will see. anysuite..click it and click (all)
[17:25] <jhutchins> sylvain-fr: There are few if any that they both can not read and write.
[17:25] <asfak> stdin, i am on very slow dial-up network, so i will take time. ...
[17:25] <sylvain-fr> ok, thanks
[17:26] <Hizzle> jhutchins: I am trying to do that at the same time listening to radi01
[17:26] <sylvain-fr> so Linux and BSD can read and write ext3
[17:26] <Hizzle> I just get KDE and GNOME nothing else besides anysuite
[17:26] <Radi01> no arrow with it?
[17:27] <sylvain-fr> and what about BSD's default FS ? Can I install BSD on an ext3 FS ?
[17:27] <asfak> stdin , http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46589/
[17:27] <stdin> sylvain-fr: it's best to ask that in a BSD channel, I'd assume that it can
[17:27] <Hizzle> there is an arrow next to it but just KDE and GNOME for options
[17:28] <Radi01> oi I have no idea then  never encountered that one..sry.
[17:28] <sylvain-fr> is there a BSD chan here ?
[17:28] <Hizzle> lol its np thanks for helping me this far
[17:28] <Radi01> try re-booting since you changed registry
[17:28] <Hizzle> k will try that
[17:28] <stdin> sylvain-fr: what variant of BSD?
[17:29] <sylvain-fr> FreeBSD

[17:39] <Radi01> The upside down text?
[17:40] <jhutchins> ksal: go to the cups web page and look for your printer model to see if it is supported.

[17:41] <SoulChild> HI ALL! How must i configure grub to load vista from my extended device /dev/sda5 ???
[17:41] <sigma_> how do i share a gprs internet connection in kubuntu? from my pc to others on the network
[17:41] <maduser> vista as defult?
[17:42] <sigma_> windows had a simple sharing dialog, don't see that anywhere in kubuntu
[17:42] <jhutchins> MementoMori: RedHat made it a standard to have each user be primarily a member of his own group.  Other systems have them be members of "users" or something like that.  Many programs use groups for cross-program access (ie a program running as a member of the apache group has access to web pages).
[17:43] <jhutchins> MementoMori: There are also "traditional" groups that are holdovers from multi-user Unix mainframes.  They're all included so that programs will be more portable.
[17:43] <Marchese> ciao
[17:43] <jhutchins> MementoMori: Usually system groups will have a GID of less than 500.
[17:43] <jhutchins> MementoMori: Depending on the system, for some it's 100, for others 1000.
[17:44] <warren_> hello
[17:44] <warren_> i need some help
[17:44] <trillis> Hey everyone...
[17:44] <trillis> Haha, me too.
[17:44] <warren_> i installed wine from source but it was buggy
[17:44] <stdin> sigma_: the way I did it a while ago was to install firestarter and use that to set it up
[17:44] <warren_> and now i would like to remove itr
[17:44] <warren_> but
[17:44] <warren_> i don't have the source anymore, i removed manually files
[17:44] <Radi01> hey trillis how did kopete work out.
[17:44] <trillis> sux0rz.
[17:44] <Radi01> oi
[17:44] <sigma_> warren: use the ubuntu deb if you want to install wine
[17:44] <warren_> and now when installing a deb package of it it doesn't work
[17:45] <trillis> Couldn't get it to load the AIM info, got everything else to work though.
[17:45] <warren_> yeah i know
[17:45] <warren_> but i didn't do it
[17:45] <sigma_> stdin: is firestarter available in the ubuntu repo's?
[17:45] <Radi01> Interesting.
[17:45] <stdin> sigma_: yeah
[17:45] <trillis> Hey stdin: Is there a way to make mplayer not have the white sides when watching a widescreen movie?
[17:46] <MementoMori> jhutchins: the info I'm looking for is: a user in the x group can do this this and this, a user in the y group can do this and that
[17:46] <stdin> trillis: never seen that, shows a black border for me
[17:46] <Radi01> trillis: vlc does the rest do not.
[17:46] <trillis> :(
[17:46] <trillis> I have an ati graphics card, could that be the problem?
[17:46] <Radi01> mozilla vlc plugin
[17:46] <jhutchins> MementoMori: Linux can also use acl's.
[17:46] <stdin> trillis: you can try using the "-aspect" and "-monitoraspect" options
[17:46] <Radi01> no
[17:46] <trillis> sudo apt-get install vlc-mozzila-plugin?
[17:46] <Radi01> ya
[17:46] <Radi01> i tried aspect..dont work
[17:47] <Radi01> aspect also screwed up x..
[17:47] <stdin> trillis: it's best to remove mozilla-mplayer before installing another plugin
[17:47] <MementoMori> jhutchins: for example: the first user created in the gusty installation is in admin and adm groups. What privileges gives adm to me?
[17:47] <sigma_> stdin: thanks il take a look, hope it works! i think that should be a applet in kubuntu that caters for file-sharing
[17:47] <jhutchins> Radi01: The options on mplayer are pretty complex (and very extensive), but just switching to vlc might be easier.
[17:47] <Radi01> good point..sry
[17:48] <jhutchins> MementoMori: For one thing the ability to use sudo.
[17:48] <Radi01> exactly
[17:48] <trillis> k...
[17:48] <stdin> sigma_: there is an applet for file sharing
[17:48] <trillis> So.. sudo apt-get uninstall mplayer?
[17:48] <jhutchins> MementoMori: In other distros that might be configured for the group "wheel".
[17:48] <sigma_> stdin: but it doesn't cater for internet sharing or does it?
[17:48] <stdin> trillis: mozilla-mplayer
[17:48] <trillis> k
[17:48] <MementoMori> jhutchins: but for the use of sudo I have to be in the admin group not in adm
[17:48] <stdin> sigma_: internet connection sharing isn't the same as file sharing

[18:06] <jalbert> I'm experiencing a weird bug here
[18:06] <Radi01> trillis:I have 1 for sale.
[18:06] <|TroubleMaker|> when partitioning a slave drive from the command line the command should look like: "$ parted -i hdb mkpart primary ext2 0 4000" right? for aprox 4 gig ext 2 partition???? or should i use another command?
[18:07] <rick_> there is no monitor and display under settings
[18:07] <Radi01> U have kde?
[18:07] <jalbert> whenever I load a website that has a Flash applet embedded, my keyboard stops working
[18:07] <ubuntu> need help with Kubuntu pendrive making settings persistent, any takers??
[18:07] <rick_> I'm using the kde version of ubunto. Does that matter?
[18:07] <stdin> |TroubleMaker|: you can use qtparted for a GUI
[18:07] <nosrednaekim> rick_: make sure you have the package "kubuntu-desktop" and all of its dependencies
[18:07] <Radi01> it should be there
[18:08] <rick_> can it be installed as a package?
[18:08] <trillis> Radi01: Heheh, you have an icon for sale?
[18:08] <Radi01> ya lol
[18:08] <|TroubleMaker|> stdin, *sigh* yes i know but this is for my linux class and im looking to verify i understood the man page right..... we are supposed to be working from CLI but i dont have a second drive to mess with.
[18:08] <stdin> rick_: you should have something that looks like http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/1528/systemsettingstw5.png
[18:09] <ubuntu> How to I ge the pen drive to list the kernels, It always goes straight into the live mode where I can't save any settings.
[18:11] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu: never done a persistent, but as soon as the bios exits hit "esc" until you see the grub kernel list (or boot up starts, which it shouldn;t)
[18:11] <rick_> nos_ how do I install or know if the kubuntu-desktop is installed?
[18:11] <Cem_UNAL> hi folks
[18:11] <Cem_UNAL> i am upgrading to 8.04
[18:11] <stdin> |TroubleMaker|: besides the fact you're missing "/dev/"  before hdb, yeah, that should make a primary partition of about 2gb at the start of /dev/hdb
[18:11] <Cem_UNAL> is it kde4?
[18:11] <stdin> *4gb
[18:11] <stdin> Cem_UNAL: no

[18:12] <stdin> Cem_UNAL: and why in the world are you upgrading to 8.04 ?
[18:12] <Cem_UNAL> stdin: tx
[18:12] <|TroubleMaker|> its a online class
[18:12] <jobbe> hey, is there a nice way to tell the display manager (in my case kdm) to use a different Xorg server than the one installed by kubuntu? I compiled a more recent version which lives in /opt/xorg/bin
[18:13] <nosrednaekim> rick_: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[18:13] <stdin> |TroubleMaker|: a small usb pen drive would work just as well (if you have one), adjusting the size ofcourse
[18:13] <ubuntu> it stop and I get the options f1 -f10  and if I pick anything like rescue mode, it can't find the kernel. IT does the memtest alright. Maybe I need to take a close look at the grub.conf
[18:14] <trillis> sudo apt-get remove hardrive? :-D
[18:14] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu: yeah, probably.
[18:14] <|TroubleMaker|> stdin, good idea maybe i can lay hands on one later today =)
[18:14] <Cem_UNAL> stdin: curiosity :)
[18:14] <Cem_UNAL> only curiosity
[18:15] <stdin> Cem_UNAL: as long as you remember it most likely *will* break, a lot. and it's not supported in here...

[20:03] <Kachna> jhutchins: well,i need it just for a while...:-)
[20:03] <nado> its the gui

[20:03] <GradeFPoultry> I'm about to install Kubuntu.
[20:03] <GradeFPoultry> Wish me luck.

[20:05] <nado> so jhutchins u know something about my licq problem?
[20:05] <Kachna> thanks a lot guys ;)
[20:05] <jhutchins> nado: Looks like what it says it is, a bug.
[20:05] <jhutchins> nado: Bad configuration file.  You could try moving/renaming it and starting with a blank one.
[20:05] <nado> ok will try that
[20:05] <nado> thx

[20:20] <machrider> hey guys, i just booted up a 7.10 kubuntu CD, X starts, but then a window appears saying it can't start kstartupconfig
[20:21] <machrider> if i try to run kstartupconfig myself, i get a missing symbol from a Qt library
[20:21] <machrider> anyone seen this?
[20:21] <BluesKaj> michael_,,try this:  k-menu/system settings/sound system/enable sound system,then choose hardware tab/select the audio device/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, click apply
[20:21] <michael_> I get sound, but coupled with major static
[20:21] <michael_> ok
[20:23] <michael_> ok cool, now to find some sound to est    :o)
[20:23] <BluesKaj> pwolanin, were you previously setup to autologin your PW with Gnome ?
[20:23] <pwolanin> BluesKaj: no - I had the gnome face-choose login screen
[20:23] <machrider> i don't understand how the kubuntu CD could not work out of the box
[20:24] <machrider> maybe i'll just go get ubuntu, and install kde desktop myself
[20:24] <michael_> still get staic
[20:24] <michael_> static
[20:24] <joey722> is there a way to configure hotmail with kontact??
[20:25] <BluesKaj> michael_, open kmix and enable Master & PCM on the output tab , then CD & IEC playback (if listed) in the Input tab , next make sure Mix & IEC958 (if applicable) are enabled in the Switches tab , then click on Settings/Configure Kmix and apply
[20:25] <michael_> ok
[20:26] <machrider> i figured.  no help here.
[20:28] <BluesKaj> joey722, I think you have to configure that in hotmail itself , to send email to kmail inbox...I don't use hotmail but it works with gmail
[20:28] <TimS> Can Krita open PSDs
[20:31] <michael_> ahh, I thought that one was going to work, but still havvvv static
[20:32] <chx> pwolanin: hi
[20:33] <pwolanin> chx: hey!
[20:33] <pwolanin> chx: I took your advice and put kubuntu on - though some functionality is broke - I figured better to ask here than bother you
[20:34] <chx> ah
[20:35] <BluesKaj> michael_, find your soundcard : cat /proc/asound/cards , then set it as default : sudo asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard"

[20:40] <michael_> then it takes me to the prompt
[20:40] <michael_> did it do it?
[20:40] <BluesKaj> michael_, are you the only user ?
[20:40] <michael_> yes
[20:41] <BluesKaj> that should set the default ok
[20:41] <michael_> I still have static
[20:42] <michael_> un
[20:42] <michael_> oops
[20:42] <BluesKaj> michael_, in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key , and bring the volume ctrls down to 70% or so , not in the red
[20:42] <michael_> unless I need to refresh the video I'm watching on google
[20:42] <michael_> ok
[20:44] <BluesKaj> michael_,you may need to relogin or even reboot ..
[20:45] <michael_> ok, I have 5.1 suround, and the levels were mostly at 100%
[20:45] <BluesKaj> too high
[20:45] <michael_> now they are at 70% or lower
[20:45] <michael_> (out of the red)
[20:45] <BluesKaj> good
[20:46] <michael_> does tone matter? its muted
[20:48] <michael_> I'll restart now
[20:52] <michael_> bummer, still have static
[20:53] <michael_> I'm getting what sounds like feed back, but my mic is muted and the mic boost is off
[20:56] <BluesKaj> michael_, turn down your "line" vol ctrl , then try a tune with whatever player you like to use ... forget the website video for a sec , that may be a a different matter

[21:03] <NickPresta> hello podr0znik
[21:04] <podr0znik> just curious - I tried to upgrade yesterday to 7.10 and experienced some problems, am I the only one? :)
[21:04] <BluesKaj> well michael_ , that pretty well exhaust my knowledge and ability to solve your problem ...can anyone else help with some suggestions ?
[21:05] <michael_> thank you BluesKaj
[21:06] <BluesKaj> podr0znik, FYI , I tried to use the adept upgrader but the repos connection failed 3 times , so i just did a regular clean install
[21:06] <BluesKaj> sorry I couldn't do more , michael_ :(
[21:06] <Sunriseboy> Hello everyone!
[21:07] <podr0znik> BluesKaj, during downloading/installing I had a REAL system jam, you know, such events which belong more to Windows
[21:08] <michael_> :o)
[21:08] <podr0znik> I tried later a clean install and got again errors, KDE didn't want to switch to admin mode, and sth more what I forgot already.
[21:09] <podr0znik> For now I returned to 7.04 which was good anyway ;)
[21:09] <BluesKaj> 7.04 is a fine OS , IMO :)
[21:10] <michael_> its strange, I have not been able to get my sound working since edgy. Dapper and older works fine
[21:10] <podr0znik> Now I have sth else - I put in a DVD with all documents, but it's not automatically mounting/opening. Actually I cannot even find the contents of the disc. But when I start the burning program it says "Documents (Complete Data DVD-R)"
[21:10] <BluesKaj> which soundcard michael_ ?
[21:10] <michael_> Audigy
[21:10] <podr0znik> do I have to mount it now manually (and if yes, with which command, because I'm not of the Linux command line generation)?
[21:11] <michael_> all other distros (that I have tried) work fine as well
[21:11] <kyled185> michael_, I wouldn't know how to fix it, but I had an audigy and I had to enable digital out or some other option
[21:11] <michael_> ooo, I'll try that
[21:11] <BluesKaj> michael_, maybe your audigy audio drivewrs need upgrading
[21:12] <michael_> I seen that somewhere
[21:12] <BluesKaj> err drivers
[21:12] <michael_> got ya blues   :o)
[21:13] <crimsun> michael_: download http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh, run it using bash, and tell me the url.
[21:13] <kyled185> michael_, yeah, just one by one enable options and see if anything makes it works (you might have to unmute and/or adjust some volume stuff)
[21:14] <BluesKaj> kyled185, we went thru that routine
[21:14] <michael_> where do I search for bash?
[21:14] <kyled185> BluesKaj, oh ok well then I wouldn't be of any more help
[21:15] <crimsun> michael_: you have bash already.  I meant, bash /path/to/where/you/downloaded/the/script
[21:15] <michael_> ha, sorry I'm a noob
[21:15] <martinw> When I first ran KDE it gave me a wizard and told me where to find the wizard again. But now I can't find the wizard again. Where is it?
[21:15] <podr0znik> michael_, welcome to the club :)
[21:16] <michael_> :)
[21:16] <BluesKaj> crimsun, pls don't assume ppl here know about bash
[21:16]  * martinw wants in to the club two.
[21:17] <crimsun> BluesKaj: (sure, that's why I mentioned it.  It'll fail utterly with dash.)
[21:17] <michael_> I cant find bash in my menu
[21:18] <crimsun> michael_: use a Konsole :)
[21:18] <michael_> got ya
[21:18] <crimsun> michael_: where did you save the script?  On your Desktop?
[21:18] <BluesKaj> michael_, run it in the terminal by cd to the downloaded script
[21:18] <michael_> hmmm, there wasnot script
[21:19] <michael_> when I clicked on the link it wanted a program picked from a list to run something
[21:19] <crimsun> likely Kate/editor?
[21:19] <crimsun> instead of choosing that option, just choose to save it.
[21:20] <BluesKaj> crimsun, what's the script do ?
[21:20] <michael_> ok
[21:20] <crimsun> BluesKaj: grabs /proc/asound/* info and amixer output
[21:22] <michael_> ok got it
[21:23] <michael_> kates reads it
[21:23] <crimsun> all right, save it onto your Desktop.
[21:23] <michael_> CHANGELOG="http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.changelog"
[21:23] <michael_> what is that all about?
[21:25] <michael_> its saved to the desktop
[21:29] <michael_> hello?
[21:30] <crimsun> michael_: I gave you the command above to run it.
[21:30] <crimsun> michael_: see 15 minutes ago in scrollback
[21:30] <michael_> i did
[21:31] <michael_> I saved the script
[21:31] <crimsun> michael_: no, I meant the command to run in Konsole
[21:31] <michael_> oh oh oh
[21:31] <crimsun> 16:15 < crimsun> michael_: you have bash already.  I meant, bash /path/to/where/you/downloaded/the/script
[21:31] <michael_> sorry
[21:36] <michael_> I cant get it to work
[21:37] <michael_> its asking me what i want to open the program with
[21:37] <michael_> what do I tell it?
[21:37] <michael_> I click "run in terminal" but it wont except it
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> you are double clicking on the thing? dont.. use the shell...
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> open up a terminal, cd to where the script is at.
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> assuming its on your desktop it would be 'cd Desktop'
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> then run the script with one of the following.
[21:38] <michael_> ok
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> ./scriptname     OR
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> bash ./scriptname
[21:38] <vsudilov> sh scriptname
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> thats a 3rd way.  :)
[21:38] <michael_> permission denied
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> to which one? all 3 ways?
[21:39] <michael_> (I dragged and dropped)
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> drag and dropped what where?
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> what is it you are even trying to run anyway?
[21:39] <vladdracus> hey all, I'm new to kubuntu, a friend recommended installing chkrootkit and rkhunter. I'm getting some worrying warning messages when I rana check in rkhunter. namely warnings for "checking for enabled xinetd services" "checking to see  if ssh root access is allowed "/dev for suspicious file types" and "hidden files and directories" chkrootkit reveals nothing but not sure what to make of those messages in rkhunter, anyone have an idea?
[21:39] <michael_> I saved a script on desktop
[21:40] <BluesKaj> michael_, right click the script and 'cut ' and then paste it in your "Home Folder"
[21:40] <PeterPan_> good fire with comprehensive gui and user friendly?
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> !firewall
[21:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[21:41] <michael_> ok done
[21:41] <michael_> ma, I feel like a retard
[21:41] <michael_> man
[21:41] <michael_> lol
[21:41] <vladdracus> same here micheal!
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> Think, act, learn. :)
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> repeat..
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> The Zen of Linux.
[21:41] <michael_> think act learn
[21:42] <michael_> I need to loose the Windows mentality
[21:42] <vsudilov> you are more or less in charge of what your OS does, not microsoft ;)
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> Yep. Windows teaches many bad habbits... and hids info that people should know about.
[21:43] <vladdracus> anyone advice me on the warnings I posted above that I'm getting above in rkhunter?
[21:43] <BluesKaj> michael_, then right click it and choose properties , copy the whole filename , then open a terminal type cd and paste the file name after a space and hit enter
[21:43] <vladdracus> *advise*
[21:43] <michael_> ok
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> vladdracus ubuntu dosent use  xinetd by defatult as far as i know.
[21:44] <vsudilov> vladdracus what are those programs meant to do?
[21:44] <vladdracus> Dr Willis..dont recall installing it..dont even know what it does
[21:44] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis:  i need a gui for iptable
[21:44] <Radi01> firestarter
[21:44] <vsudilov> Guarddog
[21:44] <vladdracus> rkhunter and chkroot check for vulnerabilities and trojans on your box
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> Do you have a reason to think you have been trojaned?
[21:45] <vladdracus> Dr, I'm, using the firestarter
[21:45] <vsudilov> hmmm you don't really need antivirus on a linux machine...just don't download random scripts that you dont know what they are
[21:45] <PeterPan_> Radi01:  i have firestarter installed. but its not asking my to allow or disallow the apps.....................
[21:45] <Dr_Willis> If this is a new install - i would gues s that the warnings are just being over-protective-cautious.
[21:45] <vladdracus> Dr, well I have a "friend" hwo I'm starting to get suspicious of. maybe I'm being paranoid but he really knows a lot about linux and I dont so...
[21:45] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ you expecting the firewall to pop up and ask - like windows does? Not sure any of the firewalling tools for linux do that.
[21:45] <michael_> the file name is just script
[21:46] <vladdracus> ..just being cautious
[21:46] <michael_> should there be a .xx
[21:46] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis: then what does it do
[21:46] <vsudilov> vladdracus : if he doesn't have your password, he can't really do much
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ it configures the iptables rules. plain and simple.   Windows firewalling  - is more of a 'personal' firewall  i guess you can say.
[21:46] <michael_> its telling me bad file name
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ i dont een worry about firewalls under linux. :) of coruse my router blocks most garbage
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> michael_ you did make the script excecutable with 'chmod +x scriptname' ?
[21:47] <vladdracus> vsudilov, good...he is a good friend but maybe I'm being too cautious
[21:47] <michael_> sorry, it said no such directory
[21:47] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis: will it auto block suspercious apps or a hacker. portscaning etc
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> michael_ you did a typo or somthing basic wrong is my guess.
[21:47] <michael_> ha, I have no idea what that is
[21:47] <BluesKaj> ok michael_ sorry try this : type ./alsa-info.sh
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ mot really. :) unless you have the proper rules set up
[21:48] <michael_> lol, you guys rock
[21:48] <michael_> you just oooz with patience
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ it a tool to let you set up the rules  you want.
[21:48] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis: how to do that. how to block an app . eg. firefox
[21:49] <vladdracus> thanks for the help guys
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> !info lokkit
[21:49] <ubotu> lokkit: basic interactive firewall configuration tool (console interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.50.22-7.1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 125 kB, installed size 792 kB
[21:49] <Dodger73> hi all... i thought i'd ask here about the infamous 'i ain't got DMA with gutsy' problem - which I have; anyone have any pointers for me? :)
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ no idea on that. ive never needed to block a specific app. I normally block the ports and bad packets of attackers and so on.
[21:50] <Dodger73> 'sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hda' only yields 'HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted for me'
[21:50] <michael_> BluesKaj: nothing
[21:51] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis: well how to do that then
[21:51] <crimsun> run it with debug and no-upload
[21:51] <Dodger73> and i can't seem to find any actual solution for that
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/manual2/index.html    for guarddog and for firestarter ---> http://www.debianadmin.com/secure-ubuntu-desktop-using-firestarter-firewall.html
[21:52] <BluesKaj> michael_, right click on the script choose properties , permissions tab make executable (x)
[21:52] <PeterPan_> Dr_Willis: thanks
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Dodger73 are  you even srue that dma is disabled? last i looked into the dma issues.. the change to the libata library broke (sort of) the reporting  and settings by hdparm
[21:53] <michael_> k
[21:53] <BluesKaj> michael_, then ./alsa-info.sh in the terminal
[21:53] <Dodger73> Dr_Willis: i'm pretty sure it is, as my hard drive is dog slow - it worked fine in feisty, but since upgrading to gutsy i get about 5MB/s
[21:53] <Dodger73> and, of course, hdparm -d /dev/hda tells me it's off ;)
[21:54] <joey722> i cant install apache fop(kubuntu gutsy) using apt-get while a friend of me (debian) can do it.... please help
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> !apache
[21:54] <michael_> ok
[21:54] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> joey722 its apache2 I think for the package name
[21:54] <Dodger73> but mainly the performance tells me it's not turned on
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> !find apache
[21:54] <ubotu> Found: apache2, apache2-doc, apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-perchild, apache2-mpm-prefork (and 120 others)
[21:55] <purpleposeidon> joey722: sudo apt-get install apache2
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> Dodger73 cant really help ya much. Ive not experienced the issue. be intereesting to test with hdparm -Tt /dev/whatever from your install.. and from various live cd's
[21:55] <michael_> michael@Xavier:~$ ./alsa-info.sh
[21:55] <michael_> bash: ./alsa-info.sh: No such file or directory

[21:56] <Dodger73> argh sorry
[21:56] <Dodger73> ... and Timing buffered disk reads:   18 MB in  3.33 seconds =   5.40 MB/sec is what i get, which is pretty abysmal
[21:57] <BluesKaj> michael_, did you move the script to your 'Home folder' , cuz that's where michael@Xavier is looking for it
[21:57] <joey722> purpleposeidon : i'm looking for install fop (to generate pdf) by using apt-get install fop ... it dosen't work.... but my friend (in debien) did....
[21:57] <purpleposeidon> joey722: Do apt-cache search PACKAGENAME to find programs
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> !find fop
[21:58] <ubotu> Found: r-cran-foptions, xmms-infopipe
[21:58] <michael_> yes
[21:58] <michael_> dolphin has Home highlighted
[21:58] <michael_> (using Gabby)
[21:59] <michael_> 7.10
[22:00]  * Dr_Willis thinks  michael_ needs to start over from the begining.. Im not sure whats going on. :)
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> If i download a script to my Desktop. I would do the following to run it..
[22:01] <BluesKaj> michael_, open system menu/home folder
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> cd Desktop               Then    chmod +x script name             then   ./scriptname
[22:01] <vsudilov> (in the terminal)
[22:02] <vsudilov> (ie, Konsole if you are use Kubuntu)
[22:02] <michael_> I get heavy static when any sound played mp3/wav/video on google
[22:02] <michael_> its open
[22:03] <BluesKaj> michael_, did you try to play a tune from you hard drive like i suggested eariler
[22:03] <michael_> yes
[22:03] <BluesKaj> ok
[22:03] <michael_> static still
[22:03] <sivananda> Greets everyone. Has anybody managed to get the ProjectM visualizer working with Amarok in Gutsy?
[22:04] <Radi01> prijecy M ?
[22:04] <Radi01> project
[22:05] <michael_> I'm in home folder
[22:05] <sivananda> Radi01: yea it's basically an open source rewrite of Milkdrop
[22:05] <Radi01> oh  ok
[22:05] <vsudilov> Hey anyone know of a script out there that does the following: Checks external IP address periodically, if its different from your old IP (ie it has changed), send an email to some email address with the new IP address
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> vsudilov ages ago ive seen such scripts. Youmay want to check out 'dynamic dns scripts'  under google  or dyndns scripts.
[22:07] <vsudilov> ty
[22:08] <vzduch> "if you are use Kubuntu".. sounds a bit like "All your base are belong to us".. *gg*
[22:08] <michael_> 209.7 gig free
[22:08] <PeterPan_> does any one know a gui to iptabes firewall that auto asks for each connection and app to permit or not. and then makes that rule for future. ? and does not allow any other connection or app unless permited.?
[22:09] <sstchur> I can't seem to apt-get install anything these days -- I keep getting errors regarding kde-icons-oxygen and kdebase-runtime-data.  Anyone know what that is about?
[22:09] <twylight> guys
[22:09] <twylight> what was that doom clone with the doom 2 content?
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan_ never seen such a thing under linux. given the security methods linux uses. Id be suprised if such an app exists.   Good luck googling for that. :)  let us know what you find.
[22:09] <vsudilov> PeterPan, are you thinking of LittleSnitch for Mac OSX?
[22:10] <kyled185> sstchur, did you try to install KDE 4 stuff?
[22:10] <sstchur> kyled185: yes
[22:10] <PeterPan_> k
[22:10] <sstchur> kyled185: I got KDE4 running and it worked okay, but I'm not using it at the moment
[22:11] <sstchur> kyled185: I set it up to be an option to select it when I log in
[22:11] <michael_> ok, I need a break guys
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> Linux firewall uses ports rather than executables to allow or deny connections. So if you allow Epiphany Firefox will be able to go as well since they both run on the same port.
[22:11] <PeterPan_> vsudilov:  i use kubuntu
[22:11] <michael_> thank you for your help
[22:11] <michael_> I will return after a while
[22:11] <kyled185> sstchur, I had a similar problem when I tried to update it to the RC
[22:11] <vsudilov> PetePan_ Yeah I figure, but it sounds 100% like an application for Mac OSX called LittleSnitch
[22:12] <michael_> thank you for your help
[22:12] <vsudilov> ...Which is really really cool
[22:12] <sstchur> kyled185: what is the solution?  do you know?
[22:12] <PeterPan> vsudilov:  or most apps of windows do this
[22:12] <kyled185> sstchur, you've gotta remove the beta stuff, I used aptitude, but it was a while ago and I can't quite remember what the solution was
[22:13] <PeterPan> vsudilov:  right?
[22:13] <vsudilov> PeterPan_ I'm not up to date with whats going on with windows...
[22:14] <kyled185> sstchur, for example it said that kde-oxygen was trying to modify a file, but $somekde4package was using it
[22:14] <kyled185> sstchur, so I removed that $somekde4package
[22:14] <PeterPan> k
[22:15] <kyled185> sstchur, actually, I haven't rebooted yet so ymmv
[22:16] <Radi01> sudo dpkg --configure -a      worked for me.
[22:17] <sstchur> kyled185: ymmv?
[22:17] <sivananda> Anyone here at all who's familiar with the ProjectM music visualizer?
[22:17] <kyled185> your mileage may vary
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan doing some googling on this. and as far as i can tell iptables just blocks based on ports. so if you want to block MSN which uses port 1863 - a iptales entry to blockit would be -->  /sbin/iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s $IP -p tcp --dport 1863 -j REJECT
[22:18] <kyled185> - it worked for me no guarantees it'll work for you
[22:19] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, could you explain what the purpose of chmod +x filename is, previous to the install ?
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/x499.html has a lot of really hard core info on the filtering.
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj it makjes the thing executable
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> othereise you cant run it witn ./whatever
[22:20] <BluesKaj> ok, thx , so it's the same choosing the make exectable box in properties
[22:20] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis: where can i get one.  i dont wana add a deny rule for each manualy. i want it to ask when observing any active connection or request.................
[22:20] <BluesKaj> err the same as
[22:22] <PeterPan> thx
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan dont think thats going to happen.  reading that site now and i see iptables can filter based on owner. but i see no thing on a specific executable name.
[22:22] <PeterPan> k
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> and as for 'asking' that opens up a whole other set of  problems that could spring up. :)
[22:23] <sivananda> PeterPan: It sounds like you're looking for something that works similar to zonealarm on windoze. Nothin' like that in linux AFAIK
[22:24] <BluesKaj> !antivirus
[22:24] <ubotu> antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus
[22:24] <BluesKaj> !linuxvirus
[22:24] <ubotu> The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[22:24] <PeterPan> sivananda: yes
[22:25] <sstchur> how do i remove kde4?
[22:25] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis: sivananda then how does a firewall work . eg. a hacker comes and attack or allowed ports. how will i know some thing ingenuine is happening. or a malicous app (very rare) uses the allowed port 80 ?
[22:25] <vzduch> sstchur: how did you install it?
[22:25] <sstchur> vzduch: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php
[22:25] <vzduch> PeterPan: that's what log files are for
[22:25] <sstchur> vzduch: but trying to run apt-get remove [ kde packages ] doesn't seem to work
[22:26] <PeterPan> vzduch:  who will tel me to be alert and watch log files
[22:26] <sstchur> vzduch: it complains about "unmet dependencies"  -- I guess I need some way to revert back
[22:26] <sstchur> vzduch: I actually can't apt-get install or remove anything right now -- everything fails
[22:27] <vzduch> !aptfix | sstchur
[22:27] <ubotu> sstchur: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan  iptables blocks specific data based on specific rules..  You set up rules to block what you consider bad. its  only windows and its 'firewall' that has peole thinking its sdesigned to block malicious apps.  ITS actually designed to stop Malicious packets.
[22:27] <sivananda> PeterPan: as I understand it, linux generally adopts a philosophy that is diametrically opposite of windoze. Whereas windoze has an 'every port open' approach, and you must choose to close individual ones, linux is the opposite. It has an 'everything closed' approach, and you must choose what you want open...
[22:28] <sstchur> vzduch: I don't think that's the issue exactly.  The commands run, but if I try to install anything, it complains about unmet dependencies no matter what
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan the proper ip tables rules can detect a port flood or scan or other bad things and block the incoming packets.  and log them . If you set it up that way.
[22:28] <sstchur> vzduch: but i can try it
[22:28]  * Dr_Willis agrees with sivananda linux and windows do it from different 'approaches'
[22:29] <sstchur> vzduch: it tells me to run "apt-get -f install", but when I do, that fails too
[22:29] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis: well then how to set up proper iptable rules then?
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/index.html  - has some really neat info..
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan define what you want to do.. create the proper ruleset. :)   that url has some examples.
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> in 'theory' under linux and proper security - you would have the firewall all set up befor the pc ever gets connected to the internet.
[22:30] <vzduch> sstchur: gimme your sources.list in a pastebin
[22:31] <sivananda> PeterPan: Altho' it doesn't do anything 'automagically', I would have to say that about the friendliest GUI app i've found for configuring iptables is called Guarddog. It should be available in the repositories...
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> Normally the rules would be to block everything.. allow in/out the ports you need.
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> Lokkit, an application that walks you through a few simple steps and configures a basic firewall for you. Lokkit is dead easy to use, and requires very little understanding of firewalls to set up, but it provides few options, and it's not a good choice if you want to set up a complex firewall.

[22:35] <Dr_Willis> gotta love it whenyou mess up and make a firewall so strong that you cant do anytying :)
[22:35] <sstchur> vzduch: http://pastebin.us/?show=m3479d938
[22:36] <sivananda> lol yea...
[22:36] <PeterPan> sivananda:  thanks
[22:36] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis: thanks
[22:36] <vzduch> sstchur: nothing wrong w/ that afaics
[22:37] <Radi01> I did that with zone labs..they emailed me with a paraniod list to un do/ lol
[22:37] <vzduch> you might want to uncomment gutsy-backports
[22:37] <sivananda> something else to keep in mind, if you're behind a router (such as with a home network), then it very likely already has at least a basic firewall. I for example don't even need iptables on my machine...
[22:37] <vzduch> and if you haven't lately, try 'apt-get update'
[22:38] <sivananda> PeterPan:  np :)
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> I dont een use a firewallon the linux box's - Nothing is really attacking them. the router is blocking most garbage. and theres no real spyware/malware ever going to get on them
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> You can alwyas use the variput logging features to watch what info is going out.. if you want to see whats happening.
[22:40] <Kr4t05> Are there any ways I can clean up some of the clutter in my / partition?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> Kr4t05 what clutter?
[22:40] <Kr4t05> I've already done "sudo apt-get clean"
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> Find clutter.. delete it..:)
[22:41] <sivananda> Yep Dr_Willis. Attacks against linux machines are pretty rare (tho' not unknown). There are so many different 'flavors', and they're so highly configurable, that it's difficult to create a network virus that would propagate to any great degree...
[22:41] <Kr4t05> Dr_Willis: Er... That's a bit vague.
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> sivananda and most of the attacks are against specific  services.. so if its not running.
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> Kr4t05 so was your question. :)
[22:42] <sivananda> Dr_Willis: indeed
[22:42] <Kr4t05> Hrm...
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> Kr4t05 heck i found 14+gb in my users  .Trash and  !/.local/share/Trash the other day
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> that was 1/2 my Hard drive on the laptop! :)
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> aparently wine puts deletes things in .local/share/trash
[22:43] <Kr4t05> That's helpful.
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> also watch for removeable drives the .Trash  dirs get overlooked.
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> had a mc card thta was full.. even tho it was empty. :)
[22:44] <Radi01> wow
[22:44] <Kr4t05> Yeah, I always hard delete everything on my MP3 player.
[22:45] <Kr4t05> What about /tmp/?
[22:45] <mot_> how do i upgrade to the latest kernel?
[22:45] <scrubb2000> Video playback of AVIs and MKVs is choppy on my machine, could someone help me figure out how to correct it?  Thanks.
[22:45] <mot_> what's the kubuntu meta package for the newest kernel revision? :O
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> ive never noticed tmp getting too full.
[22:45] <Kr4t05> scrubb2000: Compiz-Fusion?
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> dosent /tmp get flused on each boot up?
[22:45] <scrubb2000> kr4t05: yes.
[22:46] <scrubb2000> but it's not on every file
[22:46] <Kr4t05> mot_: Generally, check backports, I don't think the very latest kernel gets put into a stable release unless it's a crucial fix.
[22:46] <mot_> ahhh
[22:46] <mot_> also, if i've configured samba in the kcontrol panel, is there any particular reason why i can't access the share over my network on other machines? the service is running...
[22:47] <Kr4t05> scrubb2000: CompizConfig-Settings-Manager -> Video Playback, see if it's checked. If it is, uncheck it, if it isn't check it.
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> mot_ enable a samba password for the users? with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'  perhaps
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> mot_ you did enable a share or 2 for them to access?
[22:47] <mot_> yea
[22:47] <mot_> i enabled a share
[22:47] <mot_> and over my wireless network, on a windows box, i typed in "//thisbox'sip/Share
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> i alwyas just uncomment the homes entrys in the smba.config and smbpasswd -a MyUser
[22:47] <mot_> and it failed..
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> see if the linux box can see its own shares.
[22:48] <CubaCola> hi
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> be sure the workgroups are the same also
[22:48] <mot_> Dr_Willis, how do i do that?
[22:48] <CubaCola> amarok & konqueror get kill at start ...
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> Konqueror has a 'remote' location.  it may be smb:/ or smb:// also.
[22:49] <CubaCola> hi, by the way :)
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> places -> remote machine  (or somthing like that. Not in KDE right now)
[22:49] <mot_> yeaaaaa
[22:49] <mot_> smb://localhost/ displays my share...
[22:49] <kubuntunewbie> I have a problem.  I have been seeing the update the thing at the bottom right in the tray that there are 5 updated packages available.  but when i click on it it it tells me something is already runing and it can only do read only
[22:49] <mot_> now on a windows box if i type //thisbox'sip/ i get nothin'
[22:49] <mot_> strange.
[22:50] <Dr_Willis> mot_ try the actual machine name not the ip.
[22:50] <andresj> hello, my audio is not working, it says the device is in use in amarok... how can I fix this? i remember there was a shelll command to see what processes were using a specific file, but i forgo it's name....
[22:50] <Dr_Willis> i normally browse with the Windows network -> whatever it is  Icon. :)
[22:51] <mot_> sweet it works thanks
[22:51] <kubuntunewbie> it tells me another process is using the packaging system database (prob some other adept application or apt-get aptitude) even though nothing else is runing it.  and then it asks me "Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve the issue yourself."
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> mot_ i  DO recall someone saying that some how the 'workgroup' setting in the samba configs was getting changed/removed by some of the samba config toools. some how.
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> mot_ :) bookmark it! :0
[22:51] <mot_> nah it's cool i got it to work.
[22:51] <kubuntunewbie> anyone?
[22:52] <Radi01> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:53] <Radi01> thats what I had to do
[22:53] <PeterPan> final advice needed. which one is the best anti intrussion app .snort , fwmon , firestorm,prelude ?
[22:53] <ubuntu> Hey.
[22:53] <kubuntunewbie> WTF, would someone please help me?
[22:53] <mot_> alright
[22:54] <mot_> what's the problem?
[22:54] <posingaspopular> !aptlock
[22:54] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[22:54] <posingaspopular> kubuntunewbie: ^^^
[22:54] <mot_> kubuntunewbie, hit CTRL + ESC and open the KDE processes window.
[22:54] <sivananda> kubuntunewbie: I had that error the other day. I just hit Yes then restarted Adept and it worked fine...
[22:54] <mot_> look for 'adept' anything and kill the process
[22:54] <mot_> then try it again.
[22:54] <mot_> meh.
[22:54] <kubuntunewbie> sivananda: hiting yes crashed me
[22:54] <kubuntunewbie> mot_: okay i did that
[22:55] <posingaspopular> !aptlock | kubuntunewbie
[22:55] <ubotu> kubuntunewbie: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[22:55] <posingaspopular> that's how I fix that error every single time
[22:55] <PeterPan> how to install an rpm file
[22:55] <sivananda> kubuntunewbie: Well was worth a shot anyway. It crashed Adept when I did it, not my whole system, but as I said, I just restarted it and it was fine thereafter...
[22:56] <posingaspopular> !rpm
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> Wow - we may be getting logged in a searchable  fashion by some company.. -->  http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/02/1515247&from=rss
[22:56] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[22:56] <posingaspopular> PeterPan: ^^^
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan its BEST to not mess with installing rpms. find a debian package or uuntu package for whateverit is yu want to install.
[22:56] <Radi01> I found many public logs
[22:57] <Kr4t05> Well, right now, I'm backing up some TV shows, so I have more room in my /home/ partition.
[22:57] <GradeFPoultry> I've been trying to partition my hard drive.
[22:57] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis:  i cant find anyin package manager. how to find one for firestorm?
[22:57] <GradeFPoultry> It's a nightmare.
[22:57] <kubuntunewbie> mot_: i love u. it worked. wanna make babies with me
[22:57] <Radi01> lol
[22:57] <kubuntunewbie> okay, maybe next time.
[22:57] <podr0znik> when I enter a CD-R, it normally mounts and gives me a window "what do you want to do"
[22:57] <podr0znik> but when entering a DVD it makes some noise for some time and does nothing
[22:57] <Kr4t05> kubuntunewbie: As flattering as that suggestion may be, keep in mind that this is a "family friendly" support chat. :)
[22:58] <podr0znik> anybody any idea what's the reason of this?
[22:58] <draik> podr0znik: What type of computer do you have?
[22:58] <Dr_Willis> !find firestorm
[22:58] <ubotu> Package/file firestorm does not exist in gutsy
[22:58] <GradeFPoultry> How do I connect to another IRC channel? xD
[22:59] <kubuntunewbie> Kr4t05: i understand its family friendly. what i said was hardly inappropriate.  in all due respect... lighten up ;)
[22:59] <podr0znik> draik, normal Intel Pentium thingy
[22:59] <draik> GradeFPoultry: "/j <channel name>
[22:59] <GradeFPoultry> Thanks =P
[22:59] <draik> podr0znik: Let me rephrase. What brand? Dell? HP? Compaq?...?
[22:59] <draik> GradeFPoultry: "/j <channel name>"
[22:59] <dsmith_> my kubuntu freezes after I am away from it say +30 mins, I thought it was from the screensaver but i turned that off
[22:59] <podr0znik> draik, built it myself
[22:59] <draik> Sorry, forgot to close the quote
[22:59] <draik> podr0znik: Check your mobo specs.
[22:59] <podr0znik> draik, so that's a bit of everything I guess
[23:00] <draik> check for faulty mobo drivers and work back towards the OS.
[23:00] <PeterPan> where to find deb package for firestorm ?
[23:00] <snarkster> hi is there anyway to remove all the gnome crap from kubuntu?
[23:01] <draik> The reason I ask is because my friend's Dell had the same issue. I had to clear the CMOS for it to read.
[23:01] <draik> snarkster: !purekde
[23:01] <snarkster> where do you put that?
[23:01] <draik> Whoops
[23:01] <draik> !purekde | snarkster
[23:01] <ubotu> snarkster: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE »
[23:01] <draik> There you go
[23:01] <podr0znik> draik, hm. I only don't understand why I didn't have this problem earlier (I made the DVD's myself, in the same Kubuntu version as I have right now)
[23:02] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan given that the firestorm website seems to be dead..you may want to find a different iptables monitoring tool
[23:02] <Dr_Willis> !find iptables
[23:02] <ubotu> Found: iptables, iptables-dev, arno-iptables-firewall, libiptables-ipv4-ipqueue-perl
[23:02] <Dr_Willis> !find fwmon
[23:02] <ubotu> Package/file fwmon does not exist in gutsy
[23:03] <zeldaII> i've got a question about compiz/kde desktop.  I have compiz set to give me window previews when i hover over the taskbar, but kde is having a text bubble pop up as well, that says the name of the program.  How do i get that to stop?
[23:03] <snarkster> thank you
[23:03] <draik> yw
[23:03] <snarkster> I will now install kubuntu
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> PeterPan if all else fails you could use the soruce and recompile it.
[23:04] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis:  any other place  to find deb package for firestorm and snort?
[23:04] <PeterPan> Dr_Willis: ok
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> the package managers have searching features for the packages that exist.    also theres the alternative/unofficial repos.
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> put 'apt:/' in konqueror - is my fave search tool
[23:05] <sivananda> !find snort
[23:05] <ubotu> Found: airsnort, oinkmaster, snort, snort-common, snort-common-libraries (and 4 others)
[23:05] <GradeFPoultry> Can someone answer some questions about QTParted for me?
[23:05] <ardchoille> PeterPan: apt-cache search snort
[23:06] <draik> !ask | GradeFPoultry
[23:06] <ubotu> GradeFPoultry: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:06] <GradeFPoultry> Haha.
[23:06] <bogdan> Dr_Willis: didn't know that.. but when i try searching for something it prompts me to save an HTML file :))
[23:07] <GradeFPoultry> Well, I'm running Kubuntu from a disk right now. I need to create a partition, but keep my windows data intact.
[23:07] <draik> !someone | GradeFPoultry
[23:07] <ubotu> GradeFPoultry: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[23:07] <GradeFPoultry> o_O
[23:07] <PeterPan> ardchoille:  it gives snort. but not firestorm. solarwolf - Collect the boxes and don't become mad
[23:07] <sivananda> !info snort | PeterPan
[23:07] <ubotu> peterpan: snort: Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-6 (gutsy), package size 455 kB, installed size 1060 kB
[23:07] <draik> ardchoille: Hey there. How are you?
[23:07] <kiwi__> im having an issue with the adept manager, whenever i open the application, a message pops up saying im not able to change my system settings and that it needs special admin root privileges
[23:08] <draik> kiwi__: You should be able to provide your own PW and gain the rights to make necessary changes.
[23:08] <kiwi__> i do hav my own pw but whenever i open the adept it doesnt ask for it
[23:09] <ardchoille> Hi draik :)
[23:09] <draik> kiwi__: What does it ask for?
[23:09] <draik> ardchoille: I get 11 days of vacation as of December 22 :) December 22 to January 1
[23:10] <kiwi__> it doesnt ask for anything just says You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because this application needs special administrator (root) privileges. Please run it as root or through kdesu or sudo programs to be able to perform these actions
[23:11] <draik> kiwi__: Do you have a prompt for a password?
[23:11] <draik> ardchoille: Yeah Yeah Yeah
[23:11] <kiwi__> no
[23:11] <ardchoille> draik: Quite boring, tho
[23:11] <luvss> Can't get Konqueror to find any web pages. Can ping www.google.com.
[23:11] <draik> ardchoille: I get to be with my fiance for 11 days
[23:12] <draik> kiwi__: ALT+F2 "kdesu adept"
[23:13] <draik> ardchoille: Recall my ISP issue?
[23:13] <ardchoille> draik: No
[23:13] <kiwi__> draik: it said command adept not found
[23:14] <g2g591> kiwi_:try adept_manager
[23:14] <ardchoille> kiwi__: kdesu adept_manager
[23:15] <kiwi__> it opened but i got the same message saying im not able to change my system settings
[23:16] <ardchoille> kiwi__: So it prompted yo for the admin passwd?
[23:16] <sstchur> what do you do if the status in Adept Updater says "BROKEN (installed)" ?
[23:17] <kiwi__> no it did not
[23:18] <g2g591> sstchur:try right clicking and try to reinstall, but be check in the preview tab  what it will try to do
[23:19] <ardchoille> kiwi__: Are you able to install/remove things via command line?
[23:19] <GrahamA> How would I make Konqueror my default file manager? I don't like Dolphin that much.
[23:20] <LjL> !dolphin | GrahamA
[23:20] <ubotu> GrahamA: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.
[23:20] <ardchoille> !dolphin | GrahamA
[23:20] <kiwi__> i dont think so, i hardly use the terminal
[23:20] <g2g591> kiwi_:it seems you might be trying to install and remove things from a nonadmin account, check in system settings to see if you are in the admin group
[23:20] <sivananda> luvss: Sounds like maybe konqueror is configured to use a proxy that's not present...
[23:20] <GrahamA> Cheers
[23:20] <ardchoille> kiwi__: See if your user is in the required groups: cat /etc/group | grep adm
[23:21] <PeterPan_> http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/6246/snapshot6ol9.jpg  what should i do?
[23:22] <draik_> ardchoille: Got switched from Cable to DSL.
[23:23] <luvss> sivananda: proxy tab is set to "connect to the internetdirectly"
[23:23] <draik> ardchoille: Sorry about that. Someone called and I got taken offline
[23:23] <draik> ardchoille: And that pretty much sums up the past few days with DSL
[23:23] <ardchoille> draik: lol
[23:24] <sivananda> luvss: Do you have another browser you can try?
[23:25] <draik> ardchoille: I compared the $CABLE_ISP service to this Verizon DSL and I told them this, "I had a sooped up, non-street legal Lamborghini with a life-long pass to the autobahn. Now, I got a bicycle with two flat tires, no brakes and a rusty chain. Tell me again, how is this DSL faster than Cable?"
[23:26] <ardchoille> draik: Would you like to join #draik ?
[23:26] <luvss> sivananda: default install of Kubuntu 7.10. I don't see one in the menu.
[23:26] <sivananda> draik: Just curious, did you install the filters on all your phones?
[23:26] <draik> ardchoille: I'm there
[23:26] <draik> sivananda: Yes
[23:26] <PeterPan_> http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/6246/snapshot6ol9.jpg  what should i do?
[23:27] <sivananda> draik: ok just wondered. Might want to doublecheck that none have been missed. It's also possible for one to be faulty I guess. I got a bad one once with dsl
[23:30] <draik> sivananda: Only 2 phones in the house. Well, 2 that plug up. The other 2 or 3 are units which connect to a charging base; no phone line.
[23:30] <scrubb2000> Does anyone know what part of linux remembers where an application window was when it was closed?
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> scrubb2000 that would be a feture of the windowmanager
[23:31] <ardchoille> scrubb2000: Lots of apps store that in the *rc file
[23:31] <scrubb2000> ardchoille: where is that located?  If an application isn't remembering where it was last time it ran, does that mean it's not storing that value at all?
[23:32] <sivananda> luvss: The first thing I would try would be to install another browser and see if I can reach any sites with it...
[23:32] <trillis> Hm...
[23:32] <ardchoille> scrubb2000: Many apps have their own *rc file as <appname>rc  in ~/.kde/share/config
[23:32] <trillis> Could anybody explain why my wireless internet cuts out at random times?
[23:33] <ardchoille> scrubb2000: If you look at some of those files, you'll see settings like width=blah
[23:33] <luvss> sivananda: Thanks for the help. I'll try that.
[23:33] <trillis> Shouldn't really say it's my internet...
[23:33] <sivananda> draik: my only other thought would be to make sure you have good connections on the line carrying the dsl into the house. How's the sound quality on the phones? Any 'scratchiness' on the line?
[23:34] <draik> sivananda: Good question. I don't know. I don't use the phone. I have my cell, which doesn't work too well in my area cuz of planes, and resort to IMs, IRCs and emails.
[23:36] <root__> hi
[23:36] <root__> I need help with my kubuntu
[23:36] <draik> !ask | root__
[23:36] <ubotu> root__: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:37] <Xero> root__, it's not safe to be root.
[23:37] <sivananda> draik: I seem to recall that at one point I was having a random disconnect issue with my DSL, and it turned out that the wire from the wall jack to the DSL modem had a partially broken wire. I replaced the wire and it was fine thereafter. But if that's your problem, it could be anywhere in the wires, even potentially in the feed into the house...
[23:37] <Xero> Log in as a different user, please. You're putting your box at risk.
[23:37] <root__> my kubunut has broke down since the las update, right now I just can work i recovery mode
[23:37] <Xero> oh
[23:37] <Xero> That would explain the rootness then.
[23:37] <root__> If Ia try to run multiuser the computer freezes with the usplash
[23:38] <scooter_> whats the command for the terminal to make amorak play mp3's
[23:38] <Xero> Try running it without usplash (take off the splash parameter from GRUB/LILO/Whatever you use
[23:39] <root__> I woul like to know what makes my kubuntu crash, so I can downgrade
[23:39] <ardchoille> root__: Aren't you the one who sometimes irc's as root?
[23:39] <Xero> kernel=yourkernel-2.x.xx-XXXXXXXX ro splash
[23:39] <root__> Xero: I have done that but it down't work either
[23:39] <Xero> remove the "splash" from that line
[23:39] <sivananda> draik: I've heard reports from people about water occasionally getting into the phone lines causing such problems. That's something the phone company would have to fix of course...
[23:40] <Xero> scooter_, amarok file.mp3
[23:40] <scooter_> yea, but it amarok wont play .mp3 files
[23:40] <root__> I have more information but I haven't been able yo figure out what is crashing the computer
[23:40] <scooter_> and i need to dl the patch thing
[23:40] <Xero> scooter_, apt-get search xine mp3
[23:40] <Xero> erm

[23:41] <ardchoille> root__: to be honest, if you've enebled the root account, then you've likely caused your own problems because it's easy to log in as root and eventually you're going to mess something up. I feel you should kick that "habit".
[23:41] <Xero> ardchoille, he's running in recovery mode.
[23:42] <Xero> That's why s/he's logged in as root
[23:42] <ardchoille> Xero: Ah, my bad.
[23:42] <root__> ardchoille: if I am log as root is beacouse with the last update something has messed up in my computer
[23:42] <Xero> Well, I'll brb. Going to play with a modded motorazr and PSP, and later chip an XBox (all for legal homebrew use of course)
[23:43] <root__> ardchoille: I am trying to fix it but I dont know how
[23:43] <ardchoille> root__: Ok, the system crashes during the usplash phase?
[23:44] <root__> ardchoille: yes I have disable the usplash but I still don't know how to fix the problem
[23:45] <Xero> What's the last thing it says before phail?
[23:45] <ardchoille> root__: If you take the "splash" and "quiet out of menu.lst and reboot, you should be able to see what is going on. You can then use that info to tell us or maybe even figure it out.
[23:46] <Xero> ardchoille, he already took "splash" out, and usually if they take out splash they'll take out quiet too
[23:46] <Xero> I'm just guessing though.
[23:46] <root__> ardchoille: ok, but the ifo I have is not very clear
[23:46] <Xero> Where does it hang?
[23:46] <Xero> What is the last thing that it says?
[23:46] <ardchoille> root__: You'd be surprised, some of the gurus here have helped with a minimum of info
[23:47] <root__> ardchoille: is it  posilbe to see where it hangs lookingat a log file
[23:47] <root__> ?
[23:47] <tucker> #
[23:47] <ardchoille> root__: That's an option, tail/less some of the logs in /var/log
[23:48] <muimota__> ardchoille: which one?
[23:48] <ardchoille> muimota__: I'd start with /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog
[23:49] <cobalt> anybody here familiar with efax-gtk and how to fax stuff from open office ?
[23:51] <muimota__> ardchoille:ok, I will try to check those files
