[12:39] <dappermuis> thomas__, lol i wasn't trying to be rude, i was just making a point :D
[12:39] <JimmyDee> dapp, he gets to work with httpd.conf soon
[12:39] <jokijo> crazy = it changed to x  640 x 480
[12:39] <dappermuis> ScorpKing :)
[12:40] <dappermuis> how goes?
[12:40] <ScorpKing> great!
[12:40] <jfisher> This is Lega.
[12:40] <thomas__> dappermuis: well don't discourage man, there are a lot of people that are just starting out somehow u know
[12:40] <kkathman> looking for apache on Kmenu??  you mean its not there??
[12:40] <jfisher> Scorp: That seems to do the trick.
[12:40] <jfisher> :D
[12:40] <dappermuis> JimmyDee, hehe - that should be fun!
[12:40] <kkathman> oh no!
[12:41] <dappermuis> thomas__, yes I understand that, but i believe that before one goes messing around with setting up web servers etc, they should at least know how daemons like those are handled
[12:41] <JimmyDee> I should note that what I am about to say is NOT recommended by Ubuntu, or Debian
[12:41] <dappermuis> lol kkathman
[12:41] <jokijo> help?
[12:41] <JimmyDee> one word, webmin
[12:41] <dappermuis> hmmm...
[12:41] <ScorpKing> jfisher: i whish i knew a way around that, but for now i just restart the connection to get dns to reset.
[12:41] <thomas__> dappermuis: i have an apache server on windows :S
[12:41] <jfisher> How do I check to make sure that my wireless isn't up?
[12:42] <dappermuis> thomas__, hehe i see - well the linux one is so much cooler to setup!!
[12:42] <JimmyDee> pull the antenna off
[12:42] <kkathman> rofl
[12:42] <dappermuis> hha
[12:42] <ScorpKing> jfisher: ifconfig at1
[12:42] <thomas__> dappermuis: i hope so i hate windows apache a lot of hassle I wonder how is this different thoug
[12:42] <ScorpKing> jfisher: if it shows no ip it's down.
[12:42] <kkathman> show it a picture of pee wee herman - nothing can get up over that
[12:42] <JimmyDee> oh then you'll love httpd.conf
[12:42] <thomas__> yea i love it
[12:43] <dappermuis> hmmm, thomas__, well everything is configured in your httpd.conf file - if you get your head around that then you're sorted
[12:43] <thomas__> :S hate it
[12:43] <kkathman> whoa crimsun - heya  :)
[12:43] <ScorpKing> thomas__: apache is a lot better under linux. :D
[12:43] <thomas__> dappermuis: how do you think i configured apache on windows :S
[12:43] <dappermuis> thomas__, lol - nafc
[12:43] <ScorpKing> cmd
[12:43] <thomas__> dappermuis: through the http file
[12:43] <JimmyDee> just get it straight that a daemon while closely spelled is not a demon
[12:43] <dappermuis> i havent used windows in about 5 years :D
[12:43] <jfisher> ScorpKing: I want to be 100% sure it is down: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37745/ <-- Is that down?
[12:44] <kkathman> JimmyDee:  well at times they both have similar attributes :)
[12:44] <JimmyDee> 100% sure, remove and stomp upon the device
[12:44] <JimmyDee> twice
[12:44] <thomas__> daemon is a demon
[12:44] <jfisher> ... I want to be 100% sure without destroying the device. <<;;
[12:44] <ScorpKing> jfisher: it's down. no IP
[12:44] <JimmyDee> hmm
[12:44] <jfisher> Awesome.
[12:45] <thomas__> jfisher I CONNECTED !
[12:45] <dappermuis> most people struggle to get their wireless devices up
[12:45] <thomas__> just kiddin lol
[12:45] <JimmyDee> I'm 38 I struggle to get it up too
[12:45] <dappermuis> bwahaha
[12:45] <ScorpKing> lmao! shame
[12:45] <jfisher> The only thing I struggle with my wireless is getting it into roaming mode (still have not been able to accomplish it) without my computer going insane.
[12:46] <JimmyDee> once again define insane
[12:46] <JimmyDee> its in the same category as wonky
[12:46] <thomas__> ScorpKing: why is apache better on linux? you still have the config file in windows
[12:46] <jfisher> JimmyDee: That is another problem for another day. I'm tuckered out.
[12:46] <JimmyDee> because theres NO windows
[12:46] <brad__> I have a question. I am using a laptop. I want to disable the touchpad because I use an external mouse. The keyboard and mouse settings don't seem to have anything helpful... any help is appriciated.
[12:47] <JimmyDee> methinks thats somewhere in the synaptics thingie
[12:47] <ScorpKing> thomas__: i don't use windows. my servers with apache has been setup once and they still run.
[12:47] <inaety> is there a browser that is like epiphany but written in Qt?
[12:47] <dappermuis> btw, whatever happened to the mozilla-qt project?
[12:47] <thomas__> ScorpKing: what kind of authentication do you use?
[12:47] <thomas__> ScorpKing: if any
[12:47] <Carnage`> Does anyone know why the shell, that is used when removing the "splash" bootoption is so crappy, that it totally screws up line breaks in the boot up process?
[12:48] <ScorpKing> thomas__: none
[12:48] <thomas__> ScorpKing: cause I used pure auth
[12:48] <jfisher> Hey... I just typed ifconfig to check everything out, and what the hell is this> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37746/
[12:48] <thomas__> ScorpKing: and i bet thats not secure
[12:48] <JimmyDee> life is not secure
[12:48] <dappermuis> thomas__, it depends what you're securing
[12:49] <ScorpKing> JimmyDee: insane - afflicted with or characteristic of mental derangement. lol
[12:49] <thomas__> hey do you guys know what historical event happened today?
[12:49] <JimmyDee> there are different levels of security, like will your girl be out with another guy tonight? or Welcome to First Federal Savings and Loan...
[12:49] <JimmyDee> JimmyDee was BORN thomas
[12:49] <dappermuis> thomas__, no - but i bet you're gonna tell us :D
[12:49] <thomas__> OMG I Can't believe u guys dont know
[12:50] <jfisher> ScorpKing/JimmyDee/AnyoneElse: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37746/ <-- What is that?
[12:50] <ScorpKing> thomas__: i hope it's not the date windows was released.
[12:50] <thomas__> oh yea thats true JimmyDeehehe happybday.............LINUX"S FIRST RELEASE
[12:50] <thomas__> hehe
[12:50] <dappermuis> oooohhhh
[12:51] <brad__> Nobody? Disable a mouse?
[12:51] <ScorpKing> thomas__: what year? 1991?
[12:51] <JimmyDee_> not that button
[12:51] <thomas__> ScorpKing: shoot not sure
[12:51] <dappermuis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_17#Events
[12:51] <dappermuis> nice one thomas__
[12:51] <thomas__> dappermuis: :S
[12:52] <ScorpKing> jfisher: that is the ip that's given to the device if no dhcp if available. it should still not work.
[12:52] <JimmyDee_> thats an internally applied ip addy
[12:52] <BluesKaj> linux birthday ...happy happy ...wonder what Linus is doing to celebrate ? :)
[12:53] <jfisher> ScorpKing: Thanks. ^^
[12:53] <JimmyDee_> my birthday coincides with linux...eerie
[12:53] <thomas__> ye
[12:53] <thomas__> JimmyDee_: didnt even know!?
[12:53] <ScorpKing> jfisher: np
[12:53] <thomas__> JimmyDee_: hehe cool eh
[12:54] <dappermuis> urgh...i've still got university assignments to do :/
[12:54] <kirk> any idea why my screen size changed after a reboot? and doesnt give the option to change it back to where it was..
[12:54] <sven_oostenbrink> Hi there, I have a laptop with kubuntu installed but I also want to see the graphical screen of a remote server.. Could anybody point me in the right direction on how to do this?
[12:54] <jfisher> ScorpKing: Um... how do I get my wireless back up, now? sudo ifconfig ra1 up doesn't seem to be working. <_<
[12:54] <BluesKaj> happy birthday JimmyDee_ :) I won't ask how old
[12:54] <thomas__> BluesKaj: i know how old he is :S
[12:54] <JimmyDee_> I'm 2 2 old
[12:54] <ScorpKing> thomas__: i wasn't sure what year but i remember reading something like that. it is 1991 btw.
[12:54] <dappermuis> sven_oostenbrink: read up on vnc :)
[12:54] <brad__> sven_oostenbrink: krdc supports connections to both vnc and rdp servers.
[12:55] <ScorpKing> jfisher: do ifdown first
[12:55] <thomas__> JimmyDee_: changing ur story?
[12:55] <JimmyDee_> no I'm 2 old
[12:55] <thomas__> o
[12:55] <brad__> kirk: Did you change anything? Like the video driver for example?
[12:56] <kirk> havent changed anything
[12:56] <JimmyDee_> sounds like sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg for you kirk
[12:56] <jfisher> ScorpKing: That doesn't do it, either: sudo ifdown ra1 (then) sudo ifconfig ra1 up :No IP address. It appears ra1 is still not up.
[12:56] <sven_oostenbrink> dappermuis, Bedankt, thanks a lot!
[12:56] <thomas__> how do I check to see if my ssh server is up?
[12:56] <brad__> ssh to 127.0.01?
[12:56] <brad__> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:57] <JimmyDee_> ssh localhost
[12:57] <sven_oostenbrink> brad_, thanks!
[12:57] <JimmyDee_> or nmap -v -A localhost
[12:57] <brad__> kirk: Do what Jimmy said,  select the appropriate video driver and you can select the resolutions you want supported.
[12:57] <JimmyDee_> if you got nmap installed
[12:57] <thomas__> not installed by default?
[12:57] <thomas__> i had it on windows
[12:57] <thomas__> tried to port scan and hack everyone hehe
[12:58] <JimmyDee_> nmap is not factory in windows either
[12:58] <ScorpKing> jfisher: sudo ifdown at1 then sudo ifup at1. make sure the router is on. other than that i donno.
[12:58] <dappermuis> hey ScorpKing, you know Jimmy Wales from wikipedia was in cape town this weekend
[12:58] <kirk> ok thanks, ill try that, brb
[12:58] <ScorpKing> dappermuis: nope! didn't know. lol
[12:59] <dappermuis> oh, and iCommons is setting up a free culture house in cape town!!
[12:59] <JimmyDee_> 9-3 odds says kirk is logged out shortly
[12:59] <dappermuis> its gonna be the first of its kind afaik
[12:59] <thomas__> its sudo ssh stop right?
[12:59] <ScorpKing> was anyone at the kde-edu irc meeting this weekend?
[12:59] <dappermuis> sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop thomas__
[12:59] <thomas__> no in console
[01:00] <dappermuis> yes
[01:00] <JimmyDee_> thomas have you tried crochet or maybe knitting?
[01:00] <ScorpKing> lol
[01:00] <thomas__> dappermuis: i was able to stop it earlier without full path
[01:00] <jfisher> ScorpKing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37747/ That doesn't look right... Any idea? Sorry to bug ya so much, you seem to be the most knowledgable on the subject.
[01:01] <ScorpKing> not really. checking...
[01:01] <JimmyDee_> you certainly dint get it with ssh stop it would have to be sshd stop
[01:02] <ScorpKing> jfisher: it's not getting dhcp from the router. check your signal and make sure dnsmasq or whatever gives hdcp is running on the router.
[01:02] <BluesKaj> jfisher, I saw that very message last night when I was trying out the Netbsd live cd , it fails to see the ethernet card , hence no dhcp
[01:03] <JimmyDee_> looks like you accomplished to break your network
[01:03] <jfisher> Awesome.
[01:03] <jfisher> Just what I was attempting to do!
[01:03] <BluesKaj> it prolly has to be setup manually
[01:04] <kirk> jimmy, what was that command again for the screen size u just told me?
[01:04] <kirk> i hit test screen and it froze up
[01:05] <JimmyDee_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:05] <kirk> gracias
[01:06] <JimmyDee_> di nada
[01:06] <brad__> So... I figured it out, should have figured it out sooner. New question, do I need any of the wacom drivers in xorg.conf at all? Like, what is the eraser divice?
[01:06] <brad__> And the cursor device?
[01:07] <thomas__> dappermuis: its not working
[01:07] <thomas__> dappermuis: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop
[01:08] <thomas__> dappermuis: ok nm
[01:08] <dappermuis> :)
[01:08] <ScorpKing> thomas__: first time using linux?
[01:09] <thomas__> ScorpKing: i guess i would say so
[01:09] <thomas__> ScorpKing: maybe i'll try knitting :S
[01:09] <ScorpKing> lol
[01:10] <JimmyDee_> thomas was an irishman, he used to smuggle arms, until the british caught him and cut off his lucky charms
[01:10] <thomas__> ScorpKing: thats wha JimmyDee_ suggested :S
[01:10] <thomas__> lol
[01:10] <jfisher> *sigh*
[01:10] <thomas__> but no i'm gonna slug through this
[01:10] <dappermuis> k, im going to bed
[01:10] <dappermuis> cheers all
[01:10] <ScorpKing> thomas__: if you used windows all your life linux can be confusing. i suggest lots of google.
[01:10] <jfisher> Well, now I have ethernet working, but wireless is broken.  I have no idea.
[01:12] <NickPresta> JimmyDee_, assuming you know what to look for :)
[01:12] <thomas__> NickPresta: WELL SAID nick
[01:12] <ScorpKing> lol. true
[01:12] <thomas__> NickPresta: exactly
[01:13] <NickPresta> I always like it when someone suggests the man pages to newbies so they can "learn". How are they suppose to read man pages for things they've never heard of and don't know exist? ;)
[01:13] <JimmyDee_> the man pages are written in geek
[01:13] <NickPresta> JimmyDee_, I find them quite informative, but that's another story for OT
[01:14] <JimmyDee_> they are quite informative, if you speak geek
[01:14] <JimmyDee_> I'm a translator
[01:14] <JimmyDee_> geek to english and back
[01:14] <thomas__> JimmyDee_: cool
[01:15] <thomas__> JimmyDee_: geek can be   sometimes hard to undertstand but takes me a while
[01:15] <ScorpKing> jfisher: i'm not sure what your setup with the routers are but it looks like dhcp isn't running on it. it's a pain to get it working sometimes and i have to go to bed now. maybe someone else can help.
[01:15] <jfisher> Oh hell... I have no idea what I just did, but now wireless is up.
[01:15] <jfisher> XD
[01:15] <jfisher> Thanks very much for all your help ScorpKing. ^^
[01:16] <ScorpKing> np. nite everyone.
[01:16] <JimmyDee_> reboot fixes everything jfisher
[01:16] <JimmyDee_> oh no thats windowxs
[01:16] <jfisher> Format fixes everything JimmyDee_!
[01:16] <jfisher> Oh wait... that's windows too.
[01:16] <JimmyDee_> parted fixes everything
[01:16] <jfisher> Parted destroys lives.
[01:16] <JimmyDee_> or at least careers
[01:17] <JimmyDee_> the terminal is your freyund
[01:17] <jfisher> Perfect, I have my computer now doing exactly what I wanted it to- If wireless crashes, it'll switch to ethernet.
[01:17] <JimmyDee_> time to format and do it all again
[01:18] <JimmyDee_> I was 2 steps away from formatting my production server yesterday
[01:19] <judgen> any way of using gnome desklets in kicker?
[01:19] <emilsedgh> anyone knows how could i enable certification manager of kmail?
[01:20] <JimmyDee_> sudo apt-get install kleopatra/
[01:20] <JimmyDee_> its a thought
[01:21] <emilsedgh> thanks JimmyDee_, I tried kgpg, that didnt work
[01:23] <JimmyDee_> my birthday just got alot brighter, the lovely and talented Donna on stage #1 just called
[01:34] <kirk> Hey JImmy
[01:35] <cloakable> Real men don't use vim, they use cat > file << "EOF"
[01:36] <blueyed> Hi. I've just experienced a very strange and frustrating issue with KDE/kdm(?). Suddenly kdm/X seems to believe that the super key is pressed all the time.. keyboard input stopped working altogether and the mouse behaves as if the super/win key is pressed all the time. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/140555
[01:36] <blueyed>  I have this in another running kdm session and therefor could debug this, if you have some idea(s)..
[01:41] <Tonren> How do I get to a Windows XP Shared Folder in Kubuntu?
[01:42] <NickPresta> Tonren, mount it
[01:43] <NickPresta> !mount | Tonren
[01:43] <ubotu> Tonren: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter
[01:43] <Tonren> Hmm, I'll try that.
[01:43] <brad__> I think he means a folder shared on an xp box, the answer would be samba.
[01:43] <Tonren> Next... When I hit Ctrl + L to refetch all feeds in Akregator, I can see the icons dim and brighten as it checks them, but it doesn't update them.  There are new articles that Akregator doesn't add.  What's going on?
[01:43] <Tonren> THIS one ain't on Google.
[01:43] <BluesKaj> Tonren, check in system menu/storage media to see if your XP partiton is mounted
[01:44] <Tonren> BluesKaj: It's not a partition--it's on the LAN.
[01:44] <brad__> Yes, you need to install samba.
[01:44] <Tonren> samba and smbfs are both installed, but going to Remote Places-->Samba Shares gives me an error "There are no samba shares".
[01:44] <brad__> Does it come with kubuntu? I don't remember.
[01:44] <Tonren> Rather, "UNable to find any workgroups in your local network."
[01:45] <BluesKaj> it has to be installed , brad__
[01:45] <tekstacy> 'lo all
[01:45] <brad__> Yeah, you can use add a network drive, then hit microsoft windows network drive.
[01:45] <tekstacy> Hey is there a way to run DirectX?
[01:45] <hydrogen> no
[01:46] <brad__> Not really, but wine has direct x wrappers.
[01:46] <brad__> No?
[01:46] <tekstacy> Is there a way to fix a program from sucking in OpenGL mode?
[01:46] <brad__> It depends what the source of the suckage is.
[01:46] <tekstacy> Google Earth is giving me hell
[01:46] <brad__> If it's just that the program has crap graphics... no.
[01:47] <brad__> Ah, haven't tried it yet.
[01:47] <BluesKaj> Tonren, open konq and type smb:/  in the addressbar
[01:48] <Tonren> Bizarre... I did exactly that before, and it didn't work. Now it works.
[01:48] <brad__> BluesKaj: He essentially already did that by going to "Samba Shares"
[01:48] <brad__> So... can I access things in remote:/ from the shell?
[01:49] <cloakable> :D
[01:50] <cloakable> tekstacy: Bill Gates or Steve Ballimer, please.
[01:50] <tekstacy> No, someone who does driver support, they have it coming.....
[01:50] <cloakable> haha
[01:51] <cloakable> Just blow up Redomnd :P
[01:51] <cloakable> *Redmond
[01:51] <brad__> The stuff in remote:/ seems to be symbolic links... so where is the folder those links are in?
[01:52] <tekstacy> wow, virtual box with kubuntu kicks ass. I have the panel at the top and a windows task bar at the bottom of my screen
[01:53] <petitout> hi was wondering how can a permission to rename file be denied if you<re using sudo then command line?
[01:56] <sven_oostenbrink> Hi there, I am using compiz-fusion, great stuff, but when using 4 desktops with shift switcher, I only shift through the windows of the current desktop.. How can I make it shift through all windows of all desktops??
[01:58] <petitout> hah got my answer i was using a pipe and therfore had to reuse the command sudo after the pipe
[01:58] <petitout> didn<t know that oh well
[02:02] <blueyed> petitout: you might want to checkout "tee".
[02:07] <igorgue> Hi people... I'm a Ubuntu Gutsy user, that want to see what's new in KDE4... how I install it?
[02:07] <hydrogen> !gutsy
[02:07] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[02:07] <igorgue> should I install only kubuntu-desktop?
[02:08] <Jucato> igorgue: take note that this is still beta2, and not quite complete in the end-user facing areas
[02:08] <Jucato> (for one there is no working panel replacement yet, no default wallpaper, and in Kubuntu packages, no extra plasmoids)
[02:09] <igorgue> dont get me wrong... Im a GNOME fan :P, I just want to see whats new
[02:09] <igorgue> I've just seen a big improvement in Amarok... but what else?
[02:09] <igorgue> ok Jucato, I will not
[02:10] <igorgue> do you guys think that 4.0 was needed?
[02:10] <Jucato> amarok isn't released together with KDE. it has a different release schedule and isn't packaged as part of the main KDE stuff. so you'll have to perform some manual compilations to get that
[02:10] <cpk1> Alright I have a confusing problem... my spdif out seems to have randomly stopped working.  I was listening to music and then go do an errand and all of a sudden my housemates are complaining my music doesnt work, any ideas on where to start?
[02:10] <igorgue> I mean... I haven't seen any BIG change
[02:11] <Jucato> most of the big changes at this point are under-the-hood
[02:11] <Jucato> as for being needed, yes if only for one reason. Qt 4
[02:12] <igorgue> Jucato: so you still stuck by tooltech?
[02:12] <Jucato> KDE uses open source Qt. so practically yes
[02:12] <igorgue> I mean from GNOME 1.x and 2.0 was a big change
[02:13] <igorgue> and they are still planning 3.0
[02:13] <igorgue> sorry... I was a KDE user
[02:13] <igorgue> but for almost 2 years... I was still seeing the same desktop, so I get bored
[02:14] <igorgue> 3.3 3.4 3.5 are almost the same thing
[02:14] <Jucato> go to http://dot.kde.org and search for the articles entitled Road to KDE 4 and Pillars of KDE 4
[02:14] <Jucato> of course they'd be the same thing!!!
[02:14] <Jucato> well practically...
[02:14] <igorgue> yeah I know
[02:15] <igorgue> but changing the file manager... is not an improvement
[02:15] <Jucato> if you think so
[02:15] <igorgue> as a matter of facts KDE users were very happy with Konqueror
[02:15] <Jucato> if you think so
[02:16] <kirk> thanks JimmyDee, i got it working
[02:16] <Jucato> anyway this is going a bit offtopic. the instructions to get KDE 4 beta 2 is in the link in the channel topic
[02:16] <igorgue> but what are the advantage of Dolphin that you guys can point me?
[02:16] <Jucato> (besides that it's like nautilus?)
[02:17] <igorgue> ahh yeah... OF
[02:17] <igorgue> yeah why KDE wants to be like Nautilus... you dont like nautilus right?
[02:17] <Jucato> don't worry too much about KDE users. Konqueror is not going away. it's still there, installed by default, web browser by default
[02:17] <igorgue> not want to be... want to use something like Nautilus
[02:18] <Jucato> just a few clicks to switch from Dolphin to Nautilus
[02:18] <kkathman> But Konq file manager isnt anything like nautilus
[02:18] <igorgue> I think konqueror is cool
[02:18] <kkathman> its much better
[02:18] <Jucato> kkathman: was talking about dolphin
[02:18] <flaccid> krusader rox my sox
[02:18] <scriptkiddie> dolphin is easier to work around for general file management
[02:18] <kkathman> I know
[02:18] <scriptkiddie> konq is great for everything
[02:18] <Jucato> and no, I just said "like nautilus" with sarcasm
[02:18] <igorgue> scriptkiddie: like nautilus :P
[02:18] <Jucato> (just to try to end the offtopic discussion)
[02:18] <kkathman> I dont mind Konq as a web browser, if it were just tad bit faster
[02:18] <scriptkiddie> igorgue: *shrugs* ... i like power steering better than i do manual?
[02:19] <kkathman> but its the only browser that somehow correctly renders all flash 9 thingies
[02:20] <igorgue> I think that the web is getting browsers slower I remember konq was very fast and firefox too
[02:20] <igorgue> but now :(
[02:20] <flaccid> flash is a plugin its not rendered by the browser
[02:21] <Jucato> flaccid: but how the browser handles it or what it uses/calls to render it is determined by the browser I think.
[02:22] <flaccid> sures its embedded but if there is a problem is quite late in the dev process for this kind of bug
[02:22] <flaccid> igorgue: test case please
[02:22] <judgen> i have a minor problem. I cant get any sound in either GNOME or XFCE but it works flawlessly in KDE. Any ideas?
[02:23] <enzo__> FIRESIDE91: Hey. How are you? How was school?
[02:23] <enzo__> Hello Jucato
[02:23] <Jucato> hi enzo__!
[02:23] <igorgue> flaccid: I did not want to test... I wanted to criticize
[02:23] <Jucato> sheesh...
[02:24] <Jucato> and I bet you want to do the same with KDE 4

[02:36] <draik> FIRESIDE91: Are you available?
[02:36] <newbie> hi
[02:37] <newbi> sorry
[02:38] <draik> I'm working on a new laptop, but it doesn't see the wireless card. Any clues?
[02:39] <draik> Jucato: Would you know about getting Feisty to see the wireless card outside of LSPCI?
[02:40] <draik> I can see the card in LSPCI, but not in the Network Configuration
[02:42] <tekstacy> How do I control what starts on boot?
[02:43] <tekstacy> I don't want Konversation to open every time I turn this on
[02:43] <winbond> anyone know a guide how to make webpages look better in firefox?  aka  , which fonts to use
[02:44] <newbi> that because u never realy quite konversation thats why it keep showing at boot
[02:44] <Daisuke-Ido> winbond: lcd?
[02:44] <winbond> Daisuke-Ido, yup
[02:44] <Daisuke-Ido> i find turning on antialiasing works, with slight hinting :)
[02:44] <tekstacy> no, I quit, but it reopens
[02:44] <Daisuke-Ido> that's just for me though, you might like a different setting
[02:45] <winbond> Daisuke-Ido, where are those settings at?
[02:45] <FIRESIDE91> draik, sorry, I was eating, you still there?
[02:46] <draik> I'm still here
[02:46] <newbi> tekstacy: try quite it now and if it's in the panel(panel with the k-menu)quite konversation there 2 then log out and back in to see
[02:46] <Daisuke-Ido> system settings > appearance > fonts
[02:46] <FIRESIDE91> Cursed cursed intel 945 wireless cards, eh?
[02:47] <agapeamarante> Hey there. Can anyone tell me where KMail stores message "todo" status. I seem to have lost my todo flags (no messages lost). I have a filesystem backup from when they were there but don't know where the todo is stored.
[02:47] <agapeamarante> it's not in the Maildir messages, at least not that I can tell
[02:48] <draik> You know it
[02:48] <tekstacy> tried that. That's how I close it normally, from the SysTray, but it pops back up when I reboot.
[02:48] <draik> Why there's a Dell 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card inside a Compaq is beyond me
[02:48] <tekstacy> So does Amarok and a few more, but I use them
[02:48] <bloodlyslave> how do i change the resolution of the screen, so i can see all of the window, not just the top left part of it.
[02:48] <FIRESIDE91> Yea, no kidding
[02:49] <FIRESIDE91> I couldn't get NDISWrapper to run the thing either...
[02:49] <newbi> bloodlyslave: in apperence
[02:49] <winbond> Daisuke-Ido, ok ty, but do u know of any font replacement for firefox?
[02:49] <bloodlyslave> kk
[02:49] <newbi> bloodlyslave: sorry monitor display
[02:49] <draik> FIRESIDE91: It's not even seen in the Network Configuration
[02:49] <agapeamarante> bloodlyslave: you need to get the lower level stuff working. Once i does there should be an option under apperaance
[02:49] <newbi> :p
[02:51] <FIRESIDE91> draik: I know, ndiswrapper isn't handling the card and I disabled the bcm43xx module, so the card doesn't even have a driver that RECOGNIZES it yet, maybe the there's a new version of the firmware cutter that can work with it...
[02:51] <winbond> is there a firewall for linux with preconfigured rules??
[02:51] <draik> FIRESIDE91: Where can I find the driver?
[02:52] <agapeamarante> winbond: what do you want the firewall for? if it's just a personal machine you don't need one
[02:52] <bloodlyslave> where do i find "appearance" at?
[02:52] <agapeamarante> the ones you'll find are more for using the linux box as a firewall to protect the vulnerable, soft-bellied windows machines on the other side
[02:52] <FIRESIDE91> draik: I already have the drivers in Jr's ~
[02:52] <newbi> bloodlyslave: it's monitor display sorry
[02:52] <searayman> can somone help me with getting latets kde4 with plasma?
[02:52] <draik> FIRESIDE91: What do I need to do?
[02:53] <newbi> bloodlyslave: go in system setting>monitor display
[02:53] <bloodlyslave> kk
[02:53] <bloodlyslave> ty
[02:53] <FIRESIDE91> draik: I'm not sure, I got the drivers installed in NDISWrapper but it wont use them
[02:53] <FIRESIDE91> Does NDISWrapper take Vista drivers?
[02:53] <draik> strange
[02:53] <draik> I don't know :(
[02:53] <winbond> agapeamarante, cmon, every computer needs a firewall
[02:54] <Dragnslcr> winbond- not really
[02:54] <agapeamarante> yeah sorry
[02:54] <FIRESIDE91> Linux machines don't need firewalls :P
[02:54] <agapeamarante> only if you run buggy, vulernable services
[02:54] <agapeamarante> heh or accept X connections without auth/tunneling
[02:54] <Dragnslcr> The best firewall is to not run programs that listen on IP ports
[02:55] <draik> !virus
[02:55] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[02:55] <winbond> agapeamarante, well i dont even know what services i run , so i feel safer having a firewall
[02:55] <agapeamarante> next you'll want antivrus for linux;)
[02:55] <draik> That's the best read
[02:55] <searayman> how can i get kde4 with plasma?
[02:55] <agapeamarante> fair enough
[02:55] <agapeamarante> but
[02:55] <agapeamarante> you probably don't need to worry
[02:55] <agapeamarante> unless you're making strange changes all over
[02:55] <FIRESIDE91> I only run ClamAV so Windows machines don't get viruses that may pass through my system
[02:55] <agapeamarante> stock debian/ubuntu are quite secure
[02:55] <Dragnslcr> winbond- you can use netstat to see what programs are listening on what ports
[02:55] <agapeamarante> well the viruses that exist for Linux are far nastier
[02:55] <agapeamarante> and unlikely to be caught by AV
[02:55] <draik> FIRESIDE91: I have issues with updating ClamAV and the KlamAV GUI
[02:55] <agapeamarante> but htey also don't tend to spread via email, so *shrug*
[02:56] <winbond> Dragnslcr, cool , let me check it out
[02:56] <agapeamarante> gosh darn it, I didn't want to spend tonight grepping throuhg kmail's source
[02:56] <FIRESIDE91> draik: Don't bother updating it, you'd be ruining the point of having package managers
[02:56] <draik> ok
[02:57] <FIRESIDE91> Unless you are talking about updating the signature database, then there is an issue
[02:57] <agapeamarante> does ubuntu have a volatile repo?
[02:57] <agapeamarante> for virus defs and such?
[02:57] <Dragnslcr> winbond- specifically sudo netstat -l
[02:57] <Dragnslcr> winbond- not sure offhand if there are any useful GUI frontends for netstat, but I would imagine there are
[02:57] <FIRESIDE91> agapeamarante: What?  ClamAV can be installed on Ubuntu, but you don't need it
[02:58] <agapeamarante> well it's useful if you pass mail through
[02:58] <Kein> !adeptfix > Kein
[02:58] <agapeamarante> and can be used on servers
[02:58] <agapeamarante> you don't need it to protect yourself of course
[02:58] <FIRESIDE91> Crap, I gotta finish up that mockup for my client...
[02:59] <FIRESIDE91> Away for about 30min until I can finish this up
[02:59] <scriptkiddie> i'd like to do a dist upgrade
[02:59] <agapeamarante> scriptkiddie: is something preventing you?
[03:00] <scriptkiddie> ya, what do i need to do to go from fiesty to gutsy
[03:00] <scriptkiddie> sudo aptitude dist-upgrade?
[03:00] <Daisuke-Ido> #ubuntu+1 can help you with that.
[03:00] <agapeamarante> oh to upgrade distros?
[03:00] <scriptkiddie> topics are overated
[03:01] <deathguppie> hello?.. anyone set up jackd sound server properly??
[03:01] <agapeamarante> that's bitten me before. Worst case is you have to reinstall though, you're not going to make yourself unbootable
[03:01] <agapeamarante> worst case is you lose X
[03:01] <ibilic> hi guys, I have a new hard disk... how do I find out its Device name? e.g. /dev/sda1
[03:01] <scriptkiddie> deathguppie: yes
[03:01] <deathguppie> jackd sounds all messed up and gives me massive xruns..
[03:01] <agapeamarante> ibilic: dmesg
[03:01] <deathguppie> scriptkiddie: any links.. ??
[03:01] <Kein> How do I deal with KMix's utter inability to select the right sound device?
[03:01] <scriptkiddie> sudo aptitude install jackd
[03:01] <draik> FIRESIDE91: I will follow the directions from yesterday's link
[03:01] <agapeamarante> you should see something like "Found new device " something
[03:02] <scriptkiddie> deathguppie: what are you trying to do?
[03:02] <agapeamarante> erm sorry was it external or internal?
[03:02] <Kein> I tried what would normally work but it didn't do anything.
[03:02] <ibilic> I did't mount it yet
[03:02] <agapeamarante> did you plug it in/turn it on?
[03:02] <deathguppie> scriptkiddie: get it working properly.. like I said I get massive xruns..
[03:02] <deathguppie> sounds like crap
[03:02] <agapeamarante> is it internal, or external, like USB or firewire?
[03:03] <ibilic> internal
[03:03] <winbond> whats the difference between apt and aptitude?
[03:03] <ibilic> I have 2 hard disks which are exactly the same
[03:03] <agapeamarante> apt is lower level utility
[03:03] <agapeamarante> and older
[03:03] <agapeamarante> you should prefer aptitude
[03:03] <deathguppie> scriptkiddie: I installed low latency kernel..
[03:03] <ibilic> and i see one of them, where my system is installed
[03:03] <ibilic> but the other, I don't
[03:03] <agapeamarante> ibilic: but not the new one?
[03:03] <agapeamarante> hmmm
[03:03] <agapeamarante> that's strange
[03:03] <ibilic> i am a newbie so it might be something really simple
[03:03] <agapeamarante> are you sure the jumpers etc are set right?
[03:04] <agapeamarante> on the physical drives
[03:04] <ibilic> just installed kubuntu 2 days ago
[03:04] <scriptkiddie> deathguppie: you don't need the low latency kernel
[03:04] <agapeamarante> does it work in windows?
[03:04] <scriptkiddie> jackdqtl is one of the programs
[03:04] <ibilic> well, in my "Disk & Filesystems" window, I see 2 hard disks
[03:04] <deathguppie> qjackctl you mean.. ya
[03:04] <ibilic> I didn't enable it in Windows
[03:04] <scriptkiddie> i've been through jackd, qsynth, rosegarden about 10 times before i got it right
[03:04] <ibilic> I didn't even know I had a second hard drive :)
[03:05] <agapeamarante> lol
[03:05] <ibilic> ( I just got a new computer at university )
[03:05] <scriptkiddie> it's really all in a matter how you start the programs, and on some programs how you tell it to use jackd
[03:05] <agapeamarante> hmmm ok open a terminal and type dmesg (very verbose)
[03:05] <m4st3r> Recommand utility like Microsoft office visio on kubuntu
[03:05] <m4st3r> plz
[03:05] <scriptkiddie> anyhow i got rosegarden to run on a standard kernel, no low latency
[03:05] <agapeamarante> you're looking through it for references to hda and sda
[03:06] <ibilic> ok, I am on it
[03:06] <agapeamarante> (do you know if the drive is ata/pata, sata, scsi, etc?)
[03:06] <agapeamarante> (ata/pata and sata will be hda something scsi will be sda something)
[03:07] <hydrogen> no
[03:07] <hydrogen> sata is sd
[03:08] <agapeamarante> oh it is
[03:08] <agapeamarante> thanks
[03:08] <L> Hey I`m installing a program but i got stuck when the install guide told me to go in consol and type "make clean SYSTEM" where SYSTEM is the appropriate make target.? anyone who can help me here? :)
[03:08] <agapeamarante> L: you'll need to be WAY more specific;)
[03:09] <draik> Along the lines of "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"... Why can't my laptop remember the network info from the previous stated input?

[03:13] <winbond> agapeamarante, not pirated, pirate edition, means, including all codecs, java, etc, (besides mint)
[03:14] <draik> What causes Network settings to not stick. They keep defaulting to some other numbers

[03:14] <rickey> i wuolld like to be able to talk on yahoo live chatrooms once angain
[03:14] <agapeamarante> johntheripper is a password cracking tool
[03:14] <agapeamarante> winbond: oooh, that yeah
[03:14] <rickey>  can someone tale me how
[03:14] <soulrider> Jucato: its working now, i ahd installed libxine-extracodecs but was trying to play an mp3 that was corrupt or somethign
[03:14] <Jucato> soulrider: ah I see.
[03:14] <L> agapeamarante: ah that explains it... hmm okey, well did it help?
[03:14] <agapeamarante> what you do is, you need to enable all the nonfree repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list. I actually don't use ubuntu so I'm not sure what those are called, "multiverse" I think
[03:15] <agapeamarante> L: yes. So you downloaded a tarball of osme kind
[03:15] <winbond> agapeamarante, what do u use?
[03:15] <agapeamarante> and extracted it
[03:15] <soulrider> Jucato: i joined the ubuntuforums beginners team =D
[03:15] <agapeamarante> ion3 on debian;)
[03:15] <scriptkiddie> well, i'll try gutsy upgrade
[03:15] <agapeamarante> ubuntu better for beginners tho
[03:15] <Jucato> soulrider: hehe nice :)
[03:15] <L> agapeamarante: yes...
[03:15] <soulrider> also, Jucato, did youc heck out the program for finding duplicates i made ?
[03:15] <agapeamarante> then ran ./configure?
[03:15] <Jucato> soulrider: hm.. nope...
[03:15] <agapeamarante> and it broke on make?
[03:15] <soulrider> Jucato: hold on a sec
[03:15] <winbond> agapeamarante, i wanted to try debian, never got around to it , why is better than ubuntu?
[03:15] <agapeamarante> very similar things
[03:15] <rickey> can someone help me with yahoo chatrooms
[03:15] <agapeamarante> it's just what I'm used to
[03:15] <L> agapeamarante: hm... no just followed the guide and it didn`t say anything about that part...
[03:15] <agapeamarante> it does a few things differently
[03:16] <Jucato> "better" is subjective...
[03:16] <agapeamarante> can you link me to the guide?
[03:16] <agapeamarante> keep in mind ubuntu is VERY similar to Debian
[03:16] <Kein> Until someone says OSX. ;/
[03:16] <agapeamarante> more...evangelical
[03:16] <Jucato> rickey: Kopete can't do yahoo chatrooms yet (although it can do conferences)
[03:16] <L> agapeamarante: It followed with the download....
[03:16] <Kein> rickey: Try GAIM?
[03:16] <soulrider> Jucato: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535704
[03:16] <Kein> I think it can do it.
[03:16] <draik> Jucato: What would stop a system from remembering the network settings I provide?
[03:16] <agapeamarante> ok, where'd you download it from?
[03:16] <rickey> gain cant ether
[03:16] <L> agapeamarante: 2 sec I`ll check the site..
[03:16] <winbond> what kernel does osx use
[03:16] <agapeamarante> winbond: darwn
[03:17] <Jucato> draik: um.. not really sure... I'm a networking idiot
[03:17] <agapeamarante> *darwin
[03:17] <agapeamarante> it's based on BSD
[03:17] <agapeamarante> open I think
[03:17] <winbond> is that open source too?
[03:17] <rickey> what about pidgin
[03:17] <Jucato> soulrider: I'll check it out. thanks
[03:17] <soulrider> Jucato: no, thank you :P
[03:17] <agapeamarante> different license
[03:17] <agapeamarante> but yes
[03:17] <agapeamarante> still considered free

[03:17] <Jucato> OSI
[03:17] <Jucato> :)
[03:17] <L> agapeamarante:http://linux.softpedia.com
[03:17] <agapeamarante> lol oops
[03:17] <Jucato> you mixed FSF and OSI...
[03:17] <agapeamarante> haha
[03:17] <agapeamarante> oops
[03:18] <agapeamarante> the one without Richard Stallman
[03:18] <Jucato> FSI, OSF hehehe
[03:18] <Jucato> OSI :)
[03:18] <soulrider> what does the I stand for ?
[03:18] <Jucato> Initiative
[03:18] <L> agapeamarante: are you talking to me now?:P
[03:18] <newbi> lol
[03:18] <newbi> intelegent
[03:18] <newbi> :)
[03:19] <agapeamarante> sorry got distracted
[03:19] <L> agapeamarante: hehe ok:P
[03:19] <agapeamarante> ok try just make clean instead
[03:19] <agapeamarante> what commands starting with "make" have you entered so far?
[03:20] <agapeamarante> and there was a ./configure, yes?
[03:20] <rickey> without kopete and gain ,is there another way to use live chatrooms on yahoo?
[03:20] <Jucato> !compile
[03:20] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:20] <L> agapeamarante: none
[03:20] <agapeamarante> ok
[03:20] <agapeamarante> try just make clean
[03:20] <Jucato> rickey: I'm not sure if Yahoo Messenger for Linux supports chatrooms either
[03:20] <agapeamarante> then make
[03:20] <ibilic> ok, who gives the names to the hard disks (i.e. sda1 and so on...) ?
[03:20] <agapeamarante> if the just plain make doesn't fail the hard part is over;)
[03:21] <agapeamarante> ibilic: the disks are named automatically in the order they're detected (I think, fuzzy on that)
[03:21] <L> agapeamarante: the only commands i have entered is "cd directory"
[03:21] <agapeamarante> check hte link ubotu gave
[03:21] <Jucato> ibilic: the names depend on 1) which cable they are connected or primary or slave and 2) which partition
[03:21] <agapeamarante> it looks like it should help and if it won't fix the problem I don't have time to debug it
[03:22] <Jucato> er.. master or slave I mean
[03:22] <agapeamarante> ibilic: the a/b/c/d/e/f/g/etc is the physical disk number
[03:22] <agapeamarante> those are dependent on cable/slave/etc
[03:22] <agapeamarante> the 1,2,3,4 are always in hte same order on a given disk
[03:22] <Jucato> sda <--- master hard drive of the first cable. sda1 <--- first partition of sda
[03:23] <ibilic> i think that my hd might not be enabled from the bios
[03:23] <draik> Jucato: :( Time to nuke and pave
[03:23] <agapeamarante> bye all. Sorry I couldn't be more help
[03:23] <ibilic> i hope that I don't have to open it
[03:23] <newbi> Jucato: how to i upgrade to gusty?
[03:23] <ibilic> and play with the jumpers
[03:23] <Jucato> draik: aw.. :(

[03:30] <xp_killer> judgen: kde4 is just the desktop?
[03:32] <flaccid> pfft i tried to install a theme, it failed now i can't remove it yay.
[03:33] <judgen> xp_killer:  yes
[03:34] <judgen> flaccid: what kind of theme?
[03:34] <flaccid> a kde theme
[03:34] <Jucato> which kind of kde theme?
[03:34] <judgen> flaccid: isnt it just to remove it from kcontrol?
[03:34] <Jucato> .kth? widget style?
[03:35] <judgen> bah seems that the swedish repos dont have full kde4 yet... have to download from the US at crappy 500kB/s =(
[03:36] <judgen> almost 10 minutes =P
[03:36] <flaccid> this one http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KORE+Reviving?
[03:37] <Jucato> not found?
[03:37] <flaccid> judgen: i can't remove it from kcontrol, nothing happens when you click remove
[03:37] <c1|freaky> hi all. is there any way to ... mount a remote folder using FTP TLS Auth and SSL transfers? (the server requires that)
[03:37] <flaccid> i don't think you can mount ftp
[03:38] <flaccid> you can actually
[03:38] <flaccid> c1|freaky: did you search before asking?
[03:38] <c1|freaky> i tried using network folders but that doesnt work with FTP TLS Auth
[03:38] <flaccid> c1|freaky: you can use fuse iirc http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=SvR&q=mount+ftp+ubuntu&btnG=Search
[03:38] <c1|freaky> and i dont want to use an ftp client
[03:38] <judgen> c1|freaky: kftpgrabber
[03:39] <flaccid> judgen: can kftpgrabber mount?
[03:39] <judgen> flaccid: nah
[03:39] <c1|freaky> i dont think so ^^
[03:39] <judgen> why would you want to mount the ftp?
[03:39] <flaccid> you can use curlftpfs
[03:39] <judgen> flaccid: just remove it from the folder then
[03:39] <judgen> flaccid: the theme
[03:39] <flaccid> judgen: remove what from what folder
[03:40] <flaccid> moutning ftp would be handing for applications to access it without having to connect
[03:40] <judgen> ive been awake 50 consecutive hours in about 2,5 minuts
[03:40] <Jucato> flaccid: you mean in KControl -> Appearance -> Theme Manager?
[03:40] <flaccid> Jucato: thats where i can't remove it from
[03:40] <Jucato> ~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanger I think
[03:40] <judgen> flaccid: from the ~/.kde/share/
[03:40] <soulrider> !virtualbox
[03:40] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[03:41] <flaccid> judgen: you don't know exactly?
[03:41] <flaccid> found it thanks Jucato
[03:41] <judgen> flaccid: Jucato  said it..
[03:41] <flaccid> in my case /home/chris/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/65266-KOREX/
[03:41] <c1|freaky> flaccid: thank you :)
[03:42] <Jucato> flaccid: btw, how did it not work?
[03:42] <flaccid> the behaviour was that it added, but didn't present anything
[03:42] <flaccid> maybe because i didn't install the deps
[03:42] <Jucato> yep
[03:42] <Jucato> it requires at least Domino and Crystal Project icons
[03:43] <flaccid> i can't believe kde still manual d/l and install for a theme....
[03:43] <Jucato> because that depends on 1) what you consider a theme is 2) what you're comparing it to
[03:43] <judgen> flaccid: if its icons too, then they are located in ~/.kde/share/icons
[03:43] <Jucato> and 3) how the "silly people" (to put it nicely) in KDE-Look present/package their stuff
[03:44] <flaccid> i disagree Jucato but thats cool
[03:44] <Jucato> care to explain why you disagree? :)
[03:44] <flaccid> but 3 i agree with!
[03:45] <Jucato> #3 is the biggest problem actually
[03:45] <keegan_> hi is there any software that scans my music and updated the artist and titile from the net ?
[03:45] <Jucato> for more explanations on 1 and 2...
[03:45] <Jucato> !changethemes | flaccid
[03:45] <ubotu> flaccid: To change your themes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[03:45] <sebr> what's the difference between the "desktop" and "alternate" versions  in iso downloads?
[03:45] <flaccid> 1. its to do with deployment 2. don't need to compare it to anything
[03:45] <Jucato> sebr: Desktop = Live CD + Graphical installer
[03:45] <flaccid> yeah already read that. i just expected more transparency
[03:45] <sebr> Jucato: and alternate?
[03:46] <Jucato> sebr: ncurses based installer only with more options
[03:46] <sebr> yeah that'll do
[03:46] <Jucato> the GUI installer doesn't basically have much options
[03:47] <judgen> i always do net-install... have my 8mb usb stick for ubuntu installs =)
[03:47] <Jucato> flaccid: the thing is, you're not technically "theming" when you're installing a widget style.  Some engines are more flexible (Domino, QtCurve), and others are more restrictive
[03:48] <judgen> i also use no metapackages.... i know the name of most packages i want..
[03:48] <keegan_> hi is there any software that scans my music and updated the artist and titile from the net ?
[03:48] <Jucato> flaccid: because if you are comparing how you theme in KDE with GNOME and Windows, they are really very different
[03:48] <n8k99> keegan_: musicbrainz?
[03:48] <judgen> Jucato: theming in BeOS is hard... luckily they have thought about that for HAIKU
[03:48] <Jucato> !netinstall
[03:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[03:49] <keegan_> n8k99:  does rhythombox doe it ?
[03:49] <keegan_> is the audioscrobber for that ?
[03:49] <n8k99> i don't know much about rhythmnbox
[03:49] <keegan_> okay musicbrainz thanks
[03:49] <judgen> keegan_: or you could install itunes or WMP
[03:49] <n8k99> no the audioscrobbler reports which songs you are playing to a social database
[03:49] <Jucato> <--- bed
[03:50] <n8k99> night Jucato
[03:50] <keegan_> itunes on ubuntu ? and i think i have to pay for that information right
[03:50] <Jucato> well it's technically 10am.. but I'm a bit sick so... thanks :)
[03:50] <judgen> im going to try to beat my own record. 70 hours should be doable again.
[03:50] <coreymon77> Jucato: but im finally on when you are!
[03:50] <coreymon77> :(
[03:50] <judgen> keegan_: nope just install newest wine and look for an itunes 6 install for windows.
[03:51] <Jucato> coreymon77: aw.. :(
[03:51] <Jucato> anyway... need to get well soon, so not pushing myself :)
[03:51] <flaccid> Jucato: im not comparing it to anything. i just thought that maybe you could browse themes and click a button to install instead of manual procedure. this is my only point, nothing really to do with your points
[03:51] <coreymon77> okay
[03:51] <n8k99> amarok also has scrobbling built in
[03:51] <judgen> yes amarok has that too.
[03:51] <xp_killer> scrobbling???
[03:52] <judgen> but amarok eats my cpu..
[03:52] <judgen> sadly
[03:52] <xp_killer> oh yeah?
[03:52] <draik> I rebooted my laptop and now it won't load Kubuntu.
[03:52] <sebr> judgen: remove the analyser
[03:52] <sebr> it's the typical cpu eater
[03:52] <keegan_> whats the package i need to get for musicbrainz
[03:52] <xp_killer> i didnt know amorock sucks that much ram
[03:52] <Jucato> flaccid: it is of course possible. but yeah in some ways theming is something I want to work on soon
[03:52] <n8k99> scrobbling == reporting music played to social database at last.fm
[03:52] <keegan_> i can see a libmusicbrainz but no package as such
[03:53] <n8k99> keegan_: musicbrainz is the package AFIK
[03:53] <flaccid> Jucato: i hope they fix it up, because people coming from windows hate the fact that theming is hard task. makes them hate it
[03:53] <keegan_> AFIK ?
[03:53] <draik> The boot screen with the scrolling blue bar goes/went blank
[03:53] <coreymon77> it is?
[03:53] <n8k99> as far as i know= sorry about that
[03:53] <Jucato> flaccid: it's not really a hard task. but #3 is the biggest reason that it is :)
[03:53] <coreymon77> i find it quite easy
[03:53] <Jucato> since you were frequently banned :)
[03:53] <judgen> sebr:  i removed amarok completley and uses good old trusty xmms =)
[03:54] <keegan_> okay thanks
[03:54] <flaccid> Jucato: they have gone this many years without packaging guidelines/requirements for themes?
[03:54] <coreymon77> flaccid: kde theming is quite easy
[03:54] <xp_killer> lol
[03:54] <Jucato> kde-look? since it's a 3rd party thing, I don't think KDE can impose anything...
[03:54] <Jucato> coreymon77: it's a bit ambiguous to say the least
[03:54] <coreymon77> Jucato: how? its right there in kontrol center
[03:55] <flaccid> coreymon77: i know. i am pointing out the problems newbies face.
[03:55] <judgen> btw is there anyone running kde and emerald?
[03:55] <Jucato> coreymon77: ever tried installing a theme for a widget style that hasn't been installed yet?
[03:55] <judgen> im just curious
[03:55] <Jucato> coreymon77: and trying to install that widget style for which no debian package exists? :)
[03:55] <n8k99> keegan_: but it appears as if amarok may also do alot of that for you
[03:55] <flaccid> kde themselves should make minimum reqs/guidelines for themes
[03:56] <catsdad> hello: having long boot time in Feisty Fawn, can anyone help?
[03:56] <Jucato> it would be easy to theme KDE if and only  if the widget style and window decoration it requires is already installed.
[03:56] <Jucato> think of it as depending on a library/program to be installed
[03:56] <nb72> question.  I'm getting the error "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0"."  Googleing around it seems to be a problem with my ATI card and running XGL/Compiz.  Anybody know off hand how to fix it?
[03:57] <Jucato> anyway.. me goes now...
[03:57] <judgen> catsdad: turn off bootsplash so you can see where it stalls.
[03:58] <judgen> nb72: did you take the drivers from repos or their homepage?
[03:58] <flaccid> well they bloated ubuntu enough now, why stop heh
[03:58] <catsdad> judgen: it's complaining about ata2.00, limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
[03:58] <nb72> judgen: I started with the flgrx drivers from the repo, but was having problems with compiz.  I switched to the ATI binaries.
[03:59] <draik> FIRESIDE91: Something's wrong. I rebooted and now it won't load.
[03:59] <judgen> nb72: what kernel do you use?
[03:59] <draik> I'm going to remove Kubuntu and reinstall
[03:59] <judgen> draik: do you get to console?
[04:00] <draik> judgen: Nope
[04:00] <FIRESIDE91> I have a feeling your wireless card isn't supported
[04:00] <draik> I get as far as the splash screen
[04:00] <draik> Ugh
[04:00] <FIRESIDE91> Odd...btw, you might need to get a PCMIA card if we can't get that one working
[04:00] <draik> I can't even load Knoppix to remove everything
[04:00] <judgen> bootsplash is the devil.. you wont know whats going on behind the curtains....
[04:00] <nb72> judgen: I'd have to look in the grub file to be sure, but I think it's the latest for Feisty.  I'm running emerald btw. (saw your earlier question)
[04:01] <judgen> nb72: why not XGL/Kwin?
[04:01] <draik> It looked like Knoppix was loading, but then it froze during "Starting udev hot-plug hardware detection...
[04:01] <judgen> i have found Kwin to much better suited for kompositing than emerald... but what do i know
[04:01] <nb72> judgen: don't know.  Haven't seen Kwin.
[04:02] <judgen> nb72: kwin is the standard WM in KDE
[04:02] <winbond> !freetype
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about freetype - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:02] <nb72> judgen: I'm not even sure if I'm using anything special with emerald other than I like the window borders better than the default with compiz
[04:02] <judgen> ok
[04:03] <draik> What do you think might be causing this?
[04:03] <FIRESIDE91> No clue, power it down wrong?
[04:04] <draik> Doubt it
[04:04] <draik> Standard K Menu > Log Out > Restart
[04:04] <judgen> I think that emereld stuff was to nasty to get pretty. I stay with my Plastik-Polyester setup for a long time i guess. Its just the perfect look and feel for me.
[04:04] <FIRESIDE91> judgen: I got my emerald looking nice
[04:04] <judgen> draik: did you do an update before you rebooted that didnt have time to finish?
[04:05] <catsdad> judgen: it look like it may be a floppy drive problem
[04:05] <FIRESIDE91> At least I consider it
[04:05] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: got a screencap?
[04:05] <FIRESIDE91> Sure, hold on a sec
[04:05] <draik> judgen: Couldn't. No internet connection
[04:05] <draik> Video is acting funny now
[04:05] <draik> UGH
[04:05] <FIRESIDE91> http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/netkid91/MyDesktop.jpg
[04:06] <draik> FIRESIDE91: Nice desktop
[04:06] <FIRESIDE91> I thought so, I just hate KDE...
[04:06] <draik> I use KDE
[04:07] <FIRESIDE91> Crap...wrong channel to post that too
[04:07] <draik> Takes me a while to get used to the GNOME
[04:07] <draik> Yeah it is
[04:07] <draik> How can I nuke the HDD and start fresh?
[04:07] <nb72> FIRESIDE91: Hmm.  If I didn't know better I'd say that was a mac.
[04:07] <draik> Live CDs don't seem to work
[04:07] <draik> Not Kubuntu, not Knoppix...
[04:07] <draik> ?
[04:07] <FIRESIDE91> Wait...nm
[04:07] <n8k99> FIRESIDE91: ktotally kwrong khannel
[04:08] <FIRESIDE91> nb72: lol, I like OS X, I just can't afford the hardware right now
[04:08] <nb72> he he
[04:08] <FIRESIDE91> I just hope apple doesn't screw over leopard....the new dock kills their HIG, and the transparent menu reminds me of vista...
[04:09] <FIRESIDE91> Plus the new theme is too dark....apple should hire me for a UI design guy :P
[04:09] <Tm_T> ...and thats slipping to offtopic ;)
[04:09] <nb72> lol OSFIRESIDE91
[04:09] <Tm_T> #kubuntu-offtopic for that :)
[04:10] <draik> FINALLY got into Knoppix
[04:10] <draik> failsafe!
[04:10] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: damn chatzilla crashed on me
[04:10] <judgen> http://judgen.googlepages.com/skrmdump1.jpg
[04:10] <judgen> thats my desktop
[04:11] <XsteelWolf> FIRESIDE
[04:11] <XsteelWolf> where did you go yesterday
[04:11] <nb72> anyway.  Anybody seen the Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". problem before?  If not I think I'll just have to go the route of reinstalling the driver.  It probably wouldn't bother me, but the display settings and Google Earth won't run.
[04:11] <FIRESIDE91> Sleep
[04:11] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: your desktop looked a bit macosx clonish.
[04:11] <judgen> nb72: i had it before
[04:11] <FIRESIDE91> What, I can't like OS X?
[04:12] <BluesKaj> nb72, ATI graphics ?
[04:12] <judgen> have you disabled composite nb72
[04:12] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: sure you can
[04:12] <XsteelWolf> anyone using an intel 4965agn card?
[04:12] <FIRESIDE91> I don't think anyone here is, because they don't work
[04:13] <FIRESIDE91> Well...maybe they do now
[04:13] <judgen> nb72: could you post your xorg.conf to a pastebin?
[04:13] <judgen> !pastebin
[04:13] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[04:13] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: what did you think of my desktop then?
[04:13] <Tm_T> judgen: like to talk about that in #kubuntu-offtopic ok?
[04:13] <FIRESIDE91> I like it
[04:14] <judgen> Tm_T: its not off topic, we were discussing the pros and cons of using either emerald or kwin together with compiz-fusion
[04:14] <nb72> here's my xorg.conf  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37754/
[04:15] <Tm_T> judgen: no, you are comparing screenshots :)
[04:15] <FIRESIDE91> Except I'm using beryl, not compis judgen :P
[04:15] <Tm_T> judgen: and comparing isnt support
[04:15] <draik> Knoppix sees the laptop drive, but it won't format it. Also, I don't have a mouse
[04:15] <FIRESIDE91> KUBUNTU, NOT KNOPPIX
[04:16] <FIRESIDE91> OR are you using Knoppix?
[04:16] <XsteelWolf> anyone using an intel 4965agn card?
[04:16] <FIRESIDE91> Why do you ask XsteelWolf
[04:16] <judgen> XsteelWolf:  nope sorry. What kinda card is it?
[04:16] <XsteelWolf> i ask this yesterday too remember?
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> wireless card
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> you even show me your desktop pic :P
[04:17] <judgen> nb72: that config looked good
[04:17] <draik> I'm using Knoppix
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> asked you to wait for me back,but you went off
[04:17] <FIRESIDE91> Need drivers for it Xsteel?
[04:17] <draik> Kubuntu wouldn't load
[04:17] <judgen> nb72: when you created the driver package, did you follow the tutorial?
[04:17] <FIRESIDE91> That's why I can't help your draik
[04:17] <flaccid> i didn't know this was a knoppix chan hmm
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> gutsy k got the drivers pre-installed
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> but sometimes it detect the network
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> sometimes it doesn't
[04:17] <draik> flaccid: relax, it was the wrong channel
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> and i can't connect to it even its detected
[04:17] <XsteelWolf> always stuck at 28%
[04:18] <paonia> Anybody able to fix problems with Skype on ATI SB bus - skype not hearing microphone
[04:18] <FIRESIDE91> Still, Draik, happened during the Kubuntu install
[04:18] <winbond> xdpyinfo displays content of which file, xorg.conf or something else?
[04:18] <draik> Yup
[04:18] <Ahmuck> does kubuntu have swag?
[04:18] <draik> HDD cannot be touched in normal LiveCD installs
[04:19] <flaccid> draik: relax
[04:19] <draik> err... LiveCD boots
[04:19] <nb72> judgen: Looking back over that I see two "Device" sections.  One driver "ati" one driver "fglrx".  Would that be a problem, or maybe indicate I messed somthing up?
[04:19] <Tm_T> winbond: IIRC it shows what X uses, no matter what the sources are
[04:19] <FIRESIDE91> draik: try using the alternate install CD
[04:19] <draik> What's the diff?
[04:19] <judgen> nb72: hahaha i didnt notice that... you have both drivers loaded at startup =P
[04:19] <draik> What do I gain/lack from the LiveCD?
[04:20] <winbond> Tm_T, whats iirc?
[04:20] <judgen> nb72: just remove the part line 133-137
[04:20] <Tm_T> draik: no live session, just installer with ncurses etc
[04:20] <Tm_T> winbond: If I Recall Correctly
[04:20] <FIRESIDE91> Yup
[04:20] <winbond> Tm_T, oh, alright , thanks
[04:20] <judgen> btw did anyone remember if ati droppped support on the x200 integrated?
[04:21] <FIRESIDE91> The Alternate cd is 95% guarantedd to work draik
[04:21] <nb72> judgen: I'll give that a try.  Thanks.
[04:21] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: guaranteed by who?
[04:21] <judgen> nb72: after you have removed the lines. Do a reboot.
[04:22] <freeman>
[04:22] <nb72> judgen: Will do.  Thanks again
[04:22] <judgen> ill be here if it dont work for you.
[04:22] <FIRESIDE91> Tm_T: The fact that it works as long as you don't have a super-abnormal hardware setup, it never fails me
[04:23] <draik> Where can I get the Alternate CD? DistroWatch.com only has the LiveCD
[04:23] <FIRESIDE91> Kubuntu.com ....
[04:23] <me7531> i have a number of external USB drives that i created fstab entries for.  when the drives are attached, kde does not automount them.  if the fstab entries are deleted, then it does but not at the mount ponts i want
[04:23] <BluesKaj> nb72, if judgen's suggestion doesn't work here's a tutorial that works for my ATI  X200G card , providing 3D and DRI and yes google earth works too : http://www.howforge.com/how-to-setup-fglrx-for-ubuntu-feisty
[04:23] <draik> Got a torrent... nm.
[04:23] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: then dont say "guaranteed" when noone is guaranting it?
[04:23] <FIRESIDE91> lol
[04:24] <FIRESIDE91> Tm_T: Fine.....how about "I'm 95% sure it will work"
[04:24] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: much better
[04:25] <judgen> im almost falling inte heavey sleep.
[04:25] <draik> Uh-oh
[04:25] <draik> Bad memory
[04:25] <FIRESIDE91> Don't fall asleep at the heml judgen
[04:25] <FIRESIDE91> *helm
[04:25] <draik> Memtest
[04:25] <FIRESIDE91> O.o
[04:25] <FIRESIDE91> That's an issue
[04:25] <judgen> RSS is the most dangerous thing in the world to me.... what if i miss something =(
[04:26] <FIRESIDE91> Then your RSS reader saves it and you read it later?
[04:26] <judgen> i bought myself three new screens for my computer today btw.'
[04:26] <FIRESIDE91> Jesus......who needs THAT much screen real-estate?
[04:26] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: too many rss feeds. If i dont read atleast an hour every 5 hours or so i dont stand a chance
[04:26] <BluesKaj> must be a gamer
[04:26] <draik> FIRESIDE91: I'm going to get 9; 3x3
[04:27] <judgen> BluesKaj: i play solitaire sometimes. And an occational game of quake1
[04:27] <FIRESIDE91> O.o, my god, even the photoshop guys don't use more than 3, and you are getting 9?!
[04:27] <judgen> im going to use the screens for drawing cad.
[04:28] <judgen> 3x22"
[04:28] <FIRESIDE91> But 9?!
[04:28] <judgen> yeah i know nine is just silly
[04:28] <Tm_T> oh boy
[04:28] <Tm_T> !offtopic
[04:28] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[04:29] <judgen> Tm_T: seems noone has any support related questions right now =P)
[04:29] <Tm_T> still
[04:30] <FIRESIDE91> #ubuntu gets more support calls then us....well, I'm switching back to GNOME anyways I guess....I remember how much I hate KDE now
[04:30] <FIRESIDE91> Now if only I could remember how to export my private GPG key...
[04:30] <judgen> FIRESIDE91: KDE whoops gnome back to the stoneage. Gnome is so dumbed down that i get all sad inside
[04:30] <Tm_T> judgen: stop right there
[04:30] <judgen> ok
[04:31] <Tm_T> no flamewars thank you
[04:31] <judgen> np
[04:31] <FIRESIDE91> How do I export my private GPG key BTW?
[04:31] <FIRESIDE91> gpg -a --export-keys "Stefan Nuxoll" only exports my public key, how do I export my private key?
[04:31] <Tm_T> you dont export your private key
[04:32] <FIRESIDE91> I need to export my private key so I can re-install Ubuntu...some compiled software is goofing up my system...and it's time for a clean install anyways
[04:33] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: why you need to export it? couldnt you just backup ~/.gpg  ?
[04:33] <FIRESIDE91> O.o, would that save my key?
[04:33] <trpr> FIRESIDE91: save your keychain files. they probably reside in ~/.gnupg
[04:34] <Tm_T> yup
[04:34] <FIRESIDE91> ok, I see a .gnupg folder....what ring are private keys stored in?
[04:34] <nb72> judgen: OK.  That was interesting.  I commented out the ati device... dropped to console login.  I commented out the fglrx device... dropped to console login.
[04:34] <FIRESIDE91> secring.gpg?
[04:35] <draik> FIRESIDE91: Thank you so much for your help. I think the faulty RAM is the culprit
[04:35] <nb72> At this point I afraid to even know how my display is configured.
[04:35] <draik> How many tests does memtest run?
[04:35] <BluesKaj> nb72, did you see my post above ?
[04:35] <Kein> Alright, here goes...  Whenever I try the "amixer" command, it returns "Mixer default load error: Invalid argument"
[04:35] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: why cant you just take whole folder?
[04:35] <nb72> BluesKaj: no.  I missed it
[04:35] <FIRESIDE91> draik: A lot
[04:35] <BluesKaj> nb72, if judgen's suggestion doesn't work here's a tutorial that works for my ATI  X200G card , providing 3D and DRI and yes google earth works too : http://www.howforge.com/how-to-setup-fglrx-for-ubuntu-feisty
[04:35] <draik> Yup
[04:35] <FIRESIDE91> Tm_T: Yes, just making sure it has the right file'
[04:36] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: it should, if not, I wonder how you could have it working
[04:36] <trpr> FIRESIDE91: yup. what i do is keep those files on a thumbdrive w/ gpg configured to look for them there. then i pop the drive in when i want to use gpg. extra security for the paranoid ;)
[04:36] <FIRESIDE91> lol trpr
[04:38] <FIRESIDE91> Woohoo, got my .gnupg folder copied to my backup/shared partition
[04:39] <rickey> ok now i have finished downloading pidgin with is the latest gain to my desk top , now what do i do with it
[04:39] <flaccid> use it?
[04:39] <FIRESIDE91> ./configure && make && make install ??
[04:39] <rickey> but how?
[04:39] <rickey>  i am new
[04:39] <nb72> Thanks all.  I had everything working great, including Google Earth, until I started messing with compiz.  I must have messed up my display config while trying to get compiz to work.  At this point I think I'll just wait till gusty comes out.  I need to get rid of the Windows dual boot anyway.
[04:39] <Tm_T> !pidgin | rickey
[04:39] <ubotu> rickey: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[04:39] <FIRESIDE91> I'd help ya rickey, but I gotta go and dump my system :p
[04:40] <Tm_T> hum
[04:40] <Tm_T> no, where...
[04:40] <rickey> so you are saying i cant use it
[04:40] <Tm_T> rickey: no, wait
[04:40] <FIRESIDE91> No, I'm not rickey
[04:40] <judgen> Feature suggestion for KDE4 Why not introduce the much loved concept from our main competitor. the BSOD! Now then we could do everything they can!
[04:40] <rickey> for yahoo
[04:41] <FIRESIDE91> Yes, you can use it for yahoo rickey
[04:41] <hydrogen> ktheres already a BSOD kernel module
[04:41] <judgen> nb72: you have a very odd device id in the xorg.conf. Make sure its the correct one
[04:41] <Tm_T> rickey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[04:41] <rickey> ok thanks
[04:41] <FIRESIDE91> Thank you Tm, now then everyone, I'm off to rejoin the GNOME army
[04:42] <Tm_T> FIRESIDE91: have fun
[04:42] <rickey> that will work for kubuntu also?
[04:42] <FIRESIDE91> Yes rickey
[04:42] <draik> I thank you all for your time
[04:42] <Tm_T> rickey: sure
[04:42] <FIRESIDE91> back in a bit all
[04:42] <hydrogen> Tm_T--
[04:42] <rickey> thanks tim
[04:42] <Tm_T> who's tim?
[04:42] <draik> FIRESIDE91: I thank you for your time and effort put into this piece of... I mean, faulty laptop.
[04:43] <hydrogen> oO
[04:43] <SeanTilley> Hey all
[04:43] <BluesKaj> well... sacktime again ...nite all
[04:43] <hydrogen> that'll teaccch me.
[04:43] <SeanTilley> I had a quick question.
[04:43] <Tm_T> BluesKaj: sleep well
[04:43] <BluesKaj> thx Tm_T
[04:43] <BluesKaj> :)
[04:43] <SeanTilley> How do I get Compiz Fusion to start automatically in Kubuntu, with emerald?
[04:43] <nb72> judgen: Thanks for the help.  I think I'm just going to live with how it is and without google earth till gusty comes out.  It seems to run fine otherwise.  I've actually been running it like this for over a month.
[04:44] <jcs7778> I have a problem with my shell, I cannot execute anything that isn't in the /bin directory.  the command ./ doesn't work it gives me an error saying permission denied, I have checked the permissions on the executable file they have right permission. I have also tryed several different binaries in different directories and ive also tried sudo none of them work.
[04:44] <Tm_T> !autostart | SeanTilley
[04:44] <ubotu> SeanTilley: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
[04:44] <hydrogen> jcs7778: sounds like a number of your permissions are messed up
[04:45] <hydrogen> on directories
[04:48] <jcs7778> hydrogen: I havn't had this problem on any of my other systems, and I really havn't done much hacking on the system As far as i remember ive never been able to execute on this system. The same files with the same permissions execute fine if i re-boot into a debian installation that i have on the system.
[04:50] <rrbiz> sweet, already 6 suspend tests on my laptop, and it comes back fine other than my secure wifi not
[04:59] <ibilic> I have a non-initialized hard disk, I think it is called /dev/sdb
[04:59] <ibilic> how do I format it?
[04:59] <ibilic> I seem to have problems
[05:00] <ibilic> I just want 1 large partition
[05:00] <ibilic> and that's it
[05:01] <ibilic> anyone here?
[05:02] <junkeR> would anyone recommend freespire?
[05:02] <flaccid> this is kubuntu support channel
[05:03] <enzo_> Ahhhh... ~ sweet ~
[05:04] <ibilic> !sudo
[05:04] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:04] <ibilic> what's sudo for GUI applications?
[05:04] <Jucato> kdesu

[05:06] <Jucato> both actually
[05:06] <n8k99> oooH! now i get it
[05:06] <flaccid> haha
[05:06] <enzo_> Jucato: You know I kid
[05:07] <Kein> Okay.  I've solved a bunch of the preliminary stuff for it(alsamixer is now working and I have a headphone option) but my sound simply isn't coming out. =(

[05:14] <zoffix_> Hi, for some reason Konqueror doesn't want to display any pages. Shows me "could not connect" even though I can retreive webpages with telnet no problem. Have anyone had this before? Knows a solution?
[05:16] <flaccid> zoffix_: yes konqueror has had that error/problem in the past. you could search launchpad for an existing bug if it exists
[05:17] <zoffix_> Ah, ok, then I'd just want to get Firefox instead, not a fan of Konqueror :)
[05:17] <zoffix_> Thanks

[05:19] <zoffix_> flaccid: yup, FF works just fine ;)
[05:19] <zoffix_> Thanks :)
[05:19] <flaccid> haha
[05:20] <stimulus> does anybody know what the rndis driver is?

[05:31] <ibilic> what is a "proc" partition?
[05:31] <purpleposeidon> "Dear Kword, What is it about 'Always use this template' that you don't understand? Sincerely, your irritated user, /me"
[05:33] <flaccid> its not a partition ibilic its more like a virtual fs
[05:33] <flaccid> ibilic: google is a great search engine. http://linux.die.net/man/5/proc
[05:35] <ibilic> what I really want to know is why, when I initialized my hard drive, it turned it into a proc partition
[05:36] <ibilic> I never told it to create a proc partition
[05:36] <ibilic> I just wanted to create an extra ext3 partition
[05:36] <ibilic> I used gksudo
[05:37] <ibilic> and now, when I go to the disk and filesystem window, I just see this proc partition
[05:40] <flaccid> ffs people don't listen do they
[05:41] <flaccid> or even read. im off i think
[05:43] <ivan2864> hola
[05:44] <ivanbili> when I boot my system, it says: grep: /proc/cmdline No such file or directory
[05:44] <ivanbili> it doesn't load the GUI
[05:45] <Biovore> hmm.. sounds like something messed up bad..
[05:45] <ivanbili> well, this is what I did: I just wanted to initialize a new hard disk
[05:45] <ubunturos> umm, you need to add up your root partition inside that file, AFAIR
[05:45] <ivanbili> and it put the proc partition on that new hard drive
[05:46] <ivanbili> i remember it being 1024kB or something
[05:46] <ivanbili> and then it dissapeared
[05:46] <Biovore> I think /proc/cmdline should be the kernel command line..
[05:46] <ivanbili> and was on the new hard disk I guess
[05:46] <Biovore> should be accessable if /proc gets mounted
[05:46] <ivanbili> but then I coudlnt' even access the disk manager
[05:46] <ivanbili> restarted... this command
[05:48] <ubunturos> I can see the following line in /proc/cmdline "root=/dev/hda4 ro quiet splash"
[05:48] <ivanbili> right, that WAS my proc
[05:48] <ivanbili> only sda4
[05:48] <ivanbili> this is just great... :(((((((
[05:49] <ivan2864> bye.:D
[05:49] <ubunturos> ivanbili: Isn't it possible for you to view the file and gain root access and edit it?
[05:49] <ivanbili> 3 days that I am using Kubuntu (and Linux in general) and already I/it messed up the system twice
[05:49] <ivanbili> well, how can I view it if I can't even do ls

[06:00] <ivanbili> well, it ceirtanly did mine
[06:05] <zoffix_> Hi again, Adept crashed while doing Full Upgrade. Now I can't start it, it says "another version is running". If I choose "Ok" it crashes, otherwise quits. I've removed lock file in /var/lib/dpkg/lock and  /var/cache/apt/archives/lock but it still fails to launch. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Am I missing some locks to delete?
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> hmm.
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> !fixadept
[06:05] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> ya got those?
[06:09] <zoffix_> hehe :) ok, I see what's going on. Some "PAM" something asked me about enabling it while adept was running, which in turn killed X
[06:09] <zoffix_> !fixadept
[06:09] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> PAM is imporntant. :)
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> not that i really know what it is.. but i know its imporntant! :0
[06:09] <zoffix_> Wtf is PAM?
[06:09] <zoffix_> heh

[06:09] <Dr_Willis> !info pam
[06:09] <ubotu> Package pam does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas

[06:38] <Ahmuck> a filter in add/remove programs that would allow you to filter according to number of stars or popularity rating would be nice.
[06:39] <josue> gracis brother ya lo encontre
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> Nacho Bell Grande! :)
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> I find the whole Popularity rating thing to be suspecious.. where does  the # even come from.
[06:54] <rrbiz> their sales i spose
[06:54] <winbond> !flash
[06:54] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:55] <Ahmuck> Dr_Willis: from "installs"

[06:55] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[06:55] <Ahmuck> there is a package feedback rating
[06:55] <Ahmuck> so if firefox is more popular than konq, it get's downloaded more often as a web browser, than pop rating goes up
[06:57] <robin> gusty pretty stable now?
[06:57] <daedalus__> hello
[06:57] <rrbiz> feels stable enough
[06:57] <daedalus__> how can i change the version of the kernel of ubuntu?
[06:57] <winbond> only 1 crash today, not too bad i guess
[06:58] <winbond> daedalus__, why?
[06:58] <daedalus__> i want to downgrade the version of my kernel
[06:59] <daedalus__> a previous version to 2.6.13
[06:59] <winbond> run the adept manager
[07:00] <winbond> see if it is still in the repos
[07:00] <gary> hello
[07:00] <daedalus__> whats the adept manager?
[07:01] <winbond> !adept | daedalus__
[07:01] <ubotu> daedalus__: adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto
[07:01] <gary> can someone help me with setting up nvidia-glx correctly?
[07:01] <daedalus__> no no, im using ubuntu, not kubuntu, but i got forwarded to this channel... anyway, thanks for the link!
[07:02] <winbond> daedalus__, ubuntu has the same thing, with different name
[07:02] <winbond> whats it called... anyone?
[07:02] <zblach_> synaptic?
[07:03] <winbond> yeah that
[07:03] <daedalus__> oh synaptic
[07:03] <daedalus__> i can downgrade the kernel via synaptic?
[07:03] <gary> i've already installed nvidia-glx from repo, edited xorg.conf with "nvidia", removed "dri" module, yet when i restart X, i see from /var/log/xorg.0.log that nvidia isn't loading
[07:04] <winbond> daedalus__, i know u can upgrade using it, i muse u can downgrade too
[07:04] <winbond> daedalus__, sure
[07:05] <winbond> just do a search for linux kernel, mark the one u want installed, then reboot
[07:05] <gary> finally the error i get is (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[07:06] <gary> my video card is the Apollo Bloody Monster AGP 8x (FX5200 chipset)
[07:06] <seth> gary, you need nvidia-glx-legacy
[07:06] <seth> for a card that old
[07:06] <gary> ah thx i'll try!
[07:06] <gary> :)
[07:06] <seth> -glx vanilla is for 7xxx and higher only
[07:08] <seth> nom nom
[07:09] <intelikey> i wonder why my mouse is not working.....   changed mice  but this one isn't working.
[07:10] <netfreak> sup everyone
[07:11] <intelikey> hmmmm modprobe can't locate module "psmouse"  but that can't be why....
[07:11] <intelikey> because the other one was plugged into the same ps2 port...
[07:13] <Daisuke-Ido> if you switched ps2 mice while powered on, that could be why...
[07:13] <Daisuke-Ido> but you're smarter than that
[07:15] <intelikey> i'm running the wrong kernel...  it's a k6  but the processor is k7   ;/    that's not the problem either though...
[07:16] <intelikey> Daisuke-Ido if i can ever figure out a way to hot swap the running kernel, i'll start hotpluging ps2 devices  :)
[07:17] <intelikey> heh  cat /other.kernel > /proc/kcore     lol
[07:22] <gary> hi, i just installed nvidia-glx-legacy, edited xorg.conf correctly, but now when I restart X, /var/log/xorg.0.log tells me i failed to load Nvidia Kernel Module; i have installed both nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-kernel-source
[07:24] <winbond> can i create a s link file within dolphin?
[07:24] <gary> is it a conflict with having both nvidia kernels installed?
[07:27] <gary> nvm, think both were wrong kernels to begin with; i'll try nvidia-legacy-kernel-source
[07:32] <jfisher> Or you could install Envy, gary.
[07:36] <daedalus__> is there any tutorial for ubuntu that tells me how to downgrade the kernel without having any trouble?
[07:38] <uga> daedalus__: the problem is I don't think ubuntu repositories keep older versions, but not sure. Maybe you have the previous .debs cached locally?
[07:39] <megatog615> Anyone else running Gutsy?

[07:55] <winbond> megatog615, what does kicker do?
[07:58] <winbond> megatog615, i run it but i dont see it start, but its running as a service
[08:00] <winbond> megatog615, ok , now i see it, it runs fine, its my menu bar, right?

[09:00] <Zoffix> Is it not possible to run compiz with emerald themes? I used to have "Beryl" in GNOME on my other box, however when I search the packages I don't get any results for ``beril'' :/
[09:01] <flaccid> Zoffix: #ubuntu-effects
[09:01] <Zoffix> Thanks
[09:01] <flaccid> hey Zoffix which version?
[09:01] <Zoffix> Of what?
[09:01] <flaccid> ubuntu
[09:01] <Zoffix> Kubuntu 7.10
[09:02] <flaccid> thats gutsy which uses compiz-fusion and is pretty much native
[09:02] <Zoffix> still buggy as hell, BTW
[09:02] <flaccid> yeah im on it atm, its getting better slowly
[09:02] <Zoffix> Yeah, and compiz-fusion doesn't want to use emerald themes :/
[09:03] <flaccid> i think i had that issue myself, can't remember why. try the gutsy chan #ubuntu+1
[09:04] <flaccid> there is some reason i think
[09:33] <adhytia> hello
[09:35] <riri> which chanel for gutsy ?
[09:39] <Zoffix> riri, #ubuntu+1
[09:39] <riri> thanks
[09:44] <intelikey> wow is me.   ctrl+alt+backspace   kills the box just like jurking the ac line out of the back of the box....     it's faster than   alt+sysRQ+b     anyone know what it's doing  ?
[09:44] <intelikey> jerking maybe
[09:44] <intelikey> or why   ^  ???
[09:45] <jussi01> intelikey: you arent holding your toungue right...
[09:47] <intelikey> also have reconfigured xorg several times but all i get is a blank screen of death.    i have sshed in from another box and sure enough xorg is not running   so it's hammering the vidio card and leaving it un-usable.     any thoughts on that ?
[09:48] <intelikey> :)
[09:49] <davy> hi
[09:49] <davy> somebody still awake?
[09:50] <intelikey> lagging really bad and the connection will die any minute     but yeah
[09:50] <davy> I c
[09:50] <davy> :-)
[09:50] <davy> does somebody have some experience with configuring wlan on ubuntu??
[09:51] <intelikey> oh yeah,  lots of people do,,,  but i'm not one of them.
[09:51] <intelikey> ;/
[09:52] <davy> hehe
[09:52] <davy> :D
[09:52] <davy> me neither :(
[09:53] <intelikey> and for some un-beknownsed reason   "[I have no name!$~] "  is now my prompt...
[09:55] <intelikey> doesn't matter i guess... i know who i am...
[09:58] <intelikey> and how did this path get set     PATH='./:~/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games'
[09:59] <intelikey> it's no where in  /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc  nor ~/.*
[09:59] <intelikey> and it overrides the path set in /etc/profile
[10:00] <intelikey> maybe i hacked this box some time............ ?
[10:02] <_4strO> fi there
[10:06] <c1|freaky> is there any good software to manage an ipod using linux?
[10:07] <c1|freaky> i want to f.e. synchronize addressbook entries
[10:07] <c1|freaky> that
[10:07] <berkes> c1|freaky: yes
[10:07] <c1|freaky> that'd be cool
[10:07] <c1|freaky> berkes: what are the best ones called? (those used most often)
[10:07] <berkes> c1|freaky: on kubuntu try amarok
[10:08] <c1|freaky> it cant synchronize address book entries
[10:08] <Agent_bob> can anyone tell me where bash gets the user name for PS1 ?
[10:08] <Agent_bob> tty2 [I have no name!$~]  set | grep PS1
[10:08] <Agent_bob> PS1='\l [\u\$\w]  '
[10:08] <Agent_bob> tty2 [I have no name!$~]
[10:08] <berkes> else google for ipod on linux.
[10:08] <c1|freaky> ok
[10:09] <c1|freaky> thx anyway ^^
[10:09] <berkes> somehow KDE does not conect to localhost when I am disconnected from the net.
[10:10] <berkes> any idea where to look? Weird thing is "lo" device is configured properly, it seems
[10:10] <berkes> ipodlinux.org
[10:11] <waylandbill> berkes: ipodlinux.org is something entirely different. That's putting Linux on an ipod, not using an ipod under linux.
[10:11] <berkes> yea, saw that too late :)
[10:11] <waylandbill> berkes: can you connect to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:12] <berkes> waylandbill: I cna at this moment, because I am connected to the web.
[10:12] <berkes> but when offline, I cannot.
[10:12] <c1|freaky> berkes: ipodlinux.org is linux on ipod. i dont want to put linux on my ipod i want to use my ipod on linux, not linux on ipod.
[10:15] <berkes> c1|freaky: yea, I saw that too late :)
[10:16] <berkes> c1|freaky: there is some package called something like gnupod (not sure) wich is a library w GUIs.
[10:16] <c1|freaky> ok, thankyou ;D
[10:16] <berkes> c1|freaky: did your type 'iPod' in adept?
[10:17] <emilsedgh> libgpod i think :)
[10:18] <berkes> waylandbill: I have the output of ifconfig saved when I was disconnected here: http://pastie.caboo.se/98232
[10:18] <emilsedgh> !info libgpod
[10:18] <ubotu> Package libgpod does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[10:18] <emilsedgh> gh
[10:18] <berkes> $ apt-cache search ipod
[10:19] <emilsedgh> !info libgpod1
[10:19] <ubotu> libgpod1: a library to read and write songs and artwork to an iPod. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.2-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 168 kB, installed size 360 kB
[10:23] <c1|freaky> berkes: i only use command line usually
[10:23] <c1|freaky> i need some complete solution with which i can manage contacts etc. on the ipod
[10:23] <c1|freaky> though i should get an pda but i dont have the money for that
[10:25] <waylandbill> c1|freaky: or a cell phone. :)
[10:25] <c1|freaky> nah u cant store addresses on it
[10:25] <c1|freaky> a cell phone with pda functionality would be bet
[10:25] <c1|freaky> best
[10:26] <waylandbill> berkes: I was wondering about <IP_ADDRESS> as opposed to localhost in case there was some lookup failure.
[10:27] <berkes> waylandbill: I have a gut feeling there may be something with a proxy going on.
[10:27] <berkes> eventhough I don't have any proxy set, btw
[10:29] <sirkushiiri> iuso?
[10:30] <yintelike> this tic's me off.     there doesn't seem to be any way to change the    "I have no  name!"   setting for my PS1    :|
[10:45] <zolder> hi everybody!
[10:46] <zolder> could you tell me is there comething like Restricted Device Manager in kubuntu?
[10:47] <zolder> well?
[10:47] <stdin> no, not until gutsy
[10:47] <zolder> ok thanks
[10:47] <emilsedgh> zolder: not in feisty
[10:47] <zolder> can I install it from pero's?
[10:47] <zolder> repos's?
[10:48] <Jucato> [16:47]  <emilsedgh> zolder: not in feisty
[11:34] <pacoste> hello le monde
[11:35] <kaminix|benkyou> I'm having problems with KTorrent, it's taking up 650MB ram out of my available 500MB. How can I make it more efficient / what's a lighter alternative (not rTorrent, I'm on svorak so the keyboard layout is really clumsy)
[11:35] <jbbarnes> Does anybody have a touchpad on their system? I can't seem to change the tracking speed of mine. The KDE mouse settings have no effect.
[11:35] <kaminix|benkyou> jbbarnes: I do. Works fine for me though.
[11:36] <jbbarnes> I have used qsynaptic to turn off the double-tap, but there are no sensitivity or speed settings.
[11:36] <jbbarnes> kaminix, can you alter the sensitivity or speed up response?
[11:36] <kaminix|benkyou> I think so. Let me check.
[11:36] <intelikey> heh i tried to ssh into another box on the lan and get this   You don't exist, go away!
[11:36] <jbbarnes> Thanks.
[11:37] <intelikey> why do i have no name ?????
[11:38] <intelikey> i don't get it.
[11:38] <intelikey> tty2 [I have no name!$~]  set | grep PS1
[11:38] <intelikey> PS1='\l [\u\$\w]  '
[11:38] <kaminix|benkyou> jbbarnes: You're right. Changing pointer acceleration has no effect.
[11:38] <intelikey> anyone ?
[11:39] <jbbarnes> There are some utilities (like qsynaptic or ksynaptic) that change some things, but not speed or tapping sensitivity.
[11:40] <kaminix|benkyou> Annoying. Now that I know I can't change it I want it to speed up. :p
[11:40] <jbbarnes> And mine needs a lot of tweaking to get it to work as well as under W*ndows.
[11:40] <jbbarnes> Yeah, mine is REALLY slow. Takes me several swipes to get all the way across the screen.
[11:43] <intelikey> anyone have ideas on how i might fix broken X ?
[11:44] <stdin> depends what's broken about it
[11:44] <emilsedgh> intelikey: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:45] <intelikey> stdin yeah.   i don't really know.     all i can get out of it is a blank screan of death
[11:45] <intelikey> no console access after trying to startx
[11:45] <intelikey> i can ssh into it. tho   it's not a lockup   just a black out.
[11:46] <stdin> hmm, checked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors or warnings ?
[11:46] <intelikey> yeah it can't find a device
[11:47] <intelikey> but that doesn't really help the fact that after it closes the display is blank
[11:47] <stdin> maybe a bad xorg.conf
[11:48] <thill2708> the dvd combo drive on my laptop isn't reading blank dvds, and I'm not getting any dmesg errors or anything. what could be the problem?
[11:48] <stdin> you can try moving it and see if Xorg can guess what it needs, or use Xorg -configure
[11:48] <intelikey> i'm trying to dl a new kernel "been at that for several hours now" to see if i can't get a boot without any *fb* modules loading.
[11:49] <intelikey> stdin yeah been all over xorg.conf   rm'd it rebuilt it...  no help
[11:49] <stdin> I've noticed before some fb modules can do bad things to X, so it could be that
[11:49] <intelikey> i'm really thinking fb * xorg-driver   issue
[11:50] <intelikey> but i kinda have no way to test until i get a kernel that i can load.    the k6 kernel i'm running was built on another box   copied over....
[11:52] <Pupeno> How do I re-install a package overwritting the configuration (to have the mainstream configuration back)?
[11:53] <stdin> pupeno: "sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install <package>" should do it
[11:54] <Jucato> stdin: are you able to combine --purge with install?
[11:54] <Pupeno> stdin: didn't work :(
[11:55] <stdin> Jucato: I know that --purge works with install, because lp ppa's do it :p
[11:55] <Jucato> no wonder  I know nothing about it :)
[11:56] <stdin> pupeno: "sudo apt-get --purge remove <package>" then "sudo apt-get install <package>" ?
[11:56] <thill2708> has anyone else heard or seen of a dvd writer not being recognized as such?
[11:56] <Pupeno> stdin: that will require removing/breaking a lot of dependencies.
[11:56] <stdin> pupeno: the --purge removes all the config files in /etc but not $HOME
[11:57] <Pupeno> stdin: I know about --purge, I just don't know how to do it without uninstalling.
[11:57] <stdin> pupeno: that's why I said --reinstall first
[11:57] <Pupeno> stdin: yeah, but --reinstall didn't touch the config files, not even with --purge.
[11:59] <stdin> pupeno: try mv'ing the config files out of the way and reinstalling the package?
[11:59] <Pupeno> stdin: already tried, no luck :(
[12:00] <Jucato> what was the question again?
[12:00] <Jucato> [17:52]  <Pupeno> How do I re-install a package overwritting the configuration (to have the mainstream configuration back)? <--- by "mainstream" you mean the default system configuration?

[12:20] <divan> Hello all! :)
[12:20] <divan> I've got a random problem hope someone can help me with
[12:21] <divan> If I boot my "server" it boots and one interface is assigned eth2
[12:21] <divan> then I reboot and the same interface is assigned eth1 not eth2 .
[12:21] <divan> this causes problems with shorewall, how do you troubleshoot or set this?
[12:21] <divan> i think I know how in Red Hat / Centos, but /kubuntu/debian not sure??
[12:22] <divan> any ideas at all anyone ? :)
[12:26] <jussi01> divan: no, im sorry. maybe a config file in /etc somwhere?
[12:29] <divan> jussi01: Its wierd, you can't set it in /etc/network/interfaces ...
[12:29] <divan> im not sure will keep looking and trying
[12:29] <jussi01> divan: it sounds very weird.
[12:30] <divan> apparently i must look at /etc/iftab
[12:30] <divan> am going to do now...
[12:30] <jussi01> divan: good luck
[12:31] <divan> - /etc/iftab looks like the right place to set it!!
[12:31] <divan> will try this!
[12:31] <divan> good to know this :)
[12:31] <divan> thanks

[12:45] <emja> I seem to have stumbled across a rather obscure bug. I'm running kubuntu/compiz-fusion/feisty and found that some of my settings for both kde and CF keep reverting to old values. There seems to be no pattern to the cause. The setting that change are always the number of desktops in kde and the cube and caps settings in CF. anyone got any pointers?

[01:28] <mtfuchs> hi
[01:28] <mtfuchs> can I use amd64 install cd to install on a Core 2 duo?
[01:30] <slackern> mtfuchs, Yes, it's the same
[01:31] <mtfuchs> then I got a problem: I get the error: this CD is not suitable for install. this is a gutsy tribe 5 alternate cd
[01:31] <sander_> when I want to update kubuntu feisty fawn to gutsy gibbon I cannot use the update-manager tool since that is not installed with kubuntu
[01:31] <sander_> what do you suggest?
[01:32] <jussi01> sander_: please go to #ubuntu+1 and read the topic. then think about your decision to upgrade. if you decide to, please ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:33] <slackern> mtfuchs, Im not sure about what the problem can be im afraid
[01:33] <sander_> jussi01: tnx.. I'
[01:33] <sander_> m not new to linux/unix in general
[01:33] <sander_> but I want this fresh install upgraded asap
[01:33] <mtfuchs> The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation.
[01:33] <mtfuchs> is the precise error.

[02:00] <kozo_> hi i have some problem whit my HDs kubuntu dont recognise my kubuntu partition in media plus ther are 8 folders whit usb in media :? how can i get rid of it? if i try to open my fstab in root mode it dont open gedit /etc/fstab is the right command i think
[02:00] <stoneagepimp> can i get some help on playing dvds?
[02:01] <ubunturos> !libdvdcss
[02:01] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:03] <mtfuchs> can I use an external hdd plugged in via usb to install ubuntu somehow?
[02:05] <kozo_> i hope my lettering is understandable xD
[02:06] <wers> i cant access my thumb drive. kubuntu says that I do not have sufficient permissions
[02:09] <LjL> mtfuchs: if it gets recognized, i don't see why not
[02:09] <prospero91> The directory where you are mounting it may not have permissions
[02:09] <mtfuchs> LjL: would I just copy all the files from the iso into the hdd or do I have to make it bootable or sth? my mainboard does support booting from external hdd.
[02:10] <LjL> mtfuchs: ah i thought you meant using it to install Ubuntu *on*... no, in that case you definitely need to somehow boot from it. you could try this
[02:10] <prospero91> Add this to fstab /dev/sda1     /mnt/whatever     auto     user,rw       0       0
[02:11] <LjL> !smartbootmanager

[02:17] <garfield> it's allready installing for me to try it out

[02:21] <judgen> wow i never tried konversation before. Its amazing compared to kvirc... wonder why ive never tried it before
[02:22] <LjL> judgen: amazing? i wouldn't be so sure. it's certainly quite a bit more KDE-guidelines-compliant
[02:22] <LjL> as for features and responsiveness, that's a different matter
[02:23] <garfield> stdin: how do i get the flash to play with swf?
[02:23] <judgen> LjL: well i was just talking about the layout. Its looks almost like "vision irc" for BeOS. And that gets me all tingly =)
[02:23] <stdin> read the man page I guess
[02:24] <judgen> garfield: wich flash package do you use?
[02:24] <LjL> judgen: vision irc? i don't think i know about it. but yeah konversation's interface is quite elegant, that's basically its main plus
[02:24] <garfield> i just download swf
[02:26] <judgen> LjL: otherwise i kinda prefer bitchX
[02:27] <LjL> judgen: does that vision irc run under haiku?
[02:34] <garfield> stdin: im using the download an extention for firefox to download the video but how do i save the video?
[02:34] <stdin> I don't know, never used it
[02:36] <garfield> stdin: u never try to download flash videos?
[02:36] <stdin> never needed to
[02:38] <garfield> true but these flash video dont have a player for me to go back what i miss so it's either i download them or i get them to play in a player that can control the video
[02:42] <Jakoavain> Hi : )

[02:44] <ubotu> Suomenkielinen keskustelu (K)Ubuntusta kanavilla #ubuntu-fi ja #kubuntu-fi
[02:46] <Jakoavain> BluesKaj: , hehe :) Could you help me again?
[02:46] <dthacker> hello kubuntu'ers
[02:46] <Jakoavain> This time, I got some "new" old soundcard from my friend, but when I watch flashes it doesn't work.
[02:47] <judgen> howdy BluesKaj
[02:48] <judgen> Jakoavain: Flashes?
[02:48] <BluesKaj> what's happening Jakoavain?
[02:48] <BluesKaj> Hi judgen
[02:48] <Jakoavain> I mean :D Like youtube
[02:49] <BluesKaj> what souncard?
[02:49] <Jakoavain> Video works but the voice doesn't. I can still listen mp3:s from my comp.
[02:49] <Jakoavain> Well, I don't know actually. What was the command?
[02:49] <BluesKaj> ok,  maybe you need updated drivers
[02:50] <Jakoavain> Oh, :o
[02:50] <garfield> BluesKaj: what download manager can download video's by links?
[02:50] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, lspci | grep audio
[02:51] <BluesKaj> garfield, sorry  dunno, just copy the link
[02:51] <judgen> Jakoavain: What mediaplayer?
[02:52] <judgen> Jakoavain: sometimes its just lacking the alsaplugins for that perticular app or that your mediaplayer dont have all required parts to play those sound streams
[02:52] <Jakoavain> 02:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI]  (rev 01)
[02:53] <garfield> BluesKaj: what im i sopose to do if i just copy the link?
[02:53] <Jakoavain> Hmm, It still shows my old one, but that's not surprise.
[02:53] <Jakoavain> Judgen, okey.. These kind of things are.. pretty new for me. With windows it was and it is like "Use 3months, it doesn't work. Then format" And again. So you just don't have to think anything, just click click click boom, format.
[02:54] <judgen> Jakoavain: do you have vlc installed?
[02:55] <judgen> Jakoavain: try installing it and see if it can play your movies. If so, its just with your current mediaplayer the fault lies
[02:56] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, judgen has a good suggestion about the plugins , make sure you have the flashplugin-nonfree, libxine-extracodecs and w32codecs installed ...they can all be installed if you have restricted manager
[02:56] <Zergiu> hello
[02:57] <Zergiu> who can tell me how to install g++ compiler and c++
[02:58] <Zergiu> :P
[02:58] <Jakoavain> Hey, that's right! I'll try it! Thx :)
[02:58] <judgen> Zergiu: sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[02:58] <Jucato> what judgen said
[02:58] <Zergiu> tried that
[02:58] <BluesKaj> cheers , genii :)
[02:58] <Jucato> and?
[02:58] <Zergiu> some error
[02:58] <judgen> Zergiu: oh it should be build-essential
[02:58] <Jucato> would be nice if we actually knew what error it was :)
[02:59] <Zergiu> ok , let me try
[02:59] <genii> BluesKaj: Save the tea for night ;)
[03:00] <BluesKaj> yup genii thx :)
[03:00] <Zergiu> couldn't found package
[03:00] <Jucato> Zergiu: build-essential
[03:01] <Zergiu> can I paste in the channel?
[03:01] <Zergiu> the info?
[03:02] <BluesKaj> !pastebin
[03:02] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[03:02] <wers> why cant I write on my flash drive?
[03:03] <Zergiu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37779/
[03:03] <Zergiu> thats what it sais
[03:04] <Jucato> Zergiu: can you run "sudo apt-get update" first then try again? this is on Feisty?
[03:05] <Zergiu> I downloaded 6.06 ubuntu version
[03:05] <Zergiu> have no idea if its feisty
[03:05] <Jucato> that'd be Dapper
[03:05] <Zergiu> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - the Dapper Drake - released in June 2006
[03:06] <Zergiu> update done same error
[03:06] <BluesKaj> wers, is the flashdrive listed in /media ?
[03:07] <Zergiu> should I enable some boxes en the synaptic package manager?
[03:08] <wers> none
[03:08] <wers> i mean, yes
[03:08] <wers> i can accesss but i cant write on it
[03:11] <Zergiu> I think the problems was with the packages
[03:11] <Zergiu> I had enabled only security updates
[03:11] <Jucato> Zergiu: you need to have repositories with "main" enabled too
[03:12] <BluesKaj> hmm, I havent experienced that problem ... genii , wers cant write to his flash drive
[03:12] <Jucato> poor wers... need to get a new flash drive
[03:13] <wers> :((
[03:13] <Jucato> j/k wers. :P
[03:13] <Zergiu> a friend asked me , what has linux better than windows , what should I tell him?
[03:13] <wers> whylinuxisbetter.com
[03:13] <genii> Zergiu: Penguins
[03:13] <Zergiu> lol?
[03:13] <BluesKaj> better apps , no virus
[03:13] <rjune_> Hot chicks dig it
[03:14] <BluesKaj> c'mon Jucato , that's not nice :(
[03:14] <rjune_> at least that's the impression I get from the link you posted wers
[03:14] <Jucato> BluesKaj: wers knows I'm joking. we're both from ubuntu-ph :P
[03:14] <VSpike> wers, if you try your write as root or using sudo, does it work?
[03:14] <Zergiu> my version doesn't have penguins :(
[03:14] <BluesKaj> ahh ok cool Jucato , wers
[03:15] <BluesKaj> Zergiu, the penguins are hidden :)
[03:16] <Zergiu> anyway , I like the program names
[03:16] <Zergiu> pidgin , thunderbird
[03:16] <Zergiu> sounds cool
[03:16] <genii> wers: If you can write to it with admin privelege but not with regular user, you need to put mount option "user" (without wuotes) into fstab for that device.
[03:16] <genii> *wuotes=quotes
[03:16] <wers> nope.. even when running as root
[03:17] <BluesKaj> thunderbird runs in windows too, Zergiu
[03:17] <Zergiu> not that cool in windows...
[03:19] <sergio> hi all
[03:19] <sergio> I have a problem with Konqueror and Java
[03:19] <wers> ohh.. correction.. its whylinuxisbetter.net
[03:19] <wers> not .com
[03:19] <Zergiu> jucato you said that all the main repositories must be enables , where is that "main"?
[03:19] <BluesKaj> well, my thunderbird vers is broken in kubuntu and there doesn't seem to be a fix ...it doesn't launch the browser from links
[03:19] <Jucato> !repositories | Zergiu
[03:19] <ubotu> Zergiu: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[03:20] <sergio> how I can configure Java in Konqueror?
[03:21] <Jucato> configure in what way? Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Java & Javascript ?
[03:21] <sergio> Jucato: path: java_vm?
[03:22] <Jucato> what are you trying to do?
[03:22] <genii> wers: Some useful info that you could put into pastebin for us would be: result of these commands: sudo fdisk -l ;mount; cat /etc/fstab          also right after you plug in or pull out the thing, last few lines of command: dmesg
[03:22] <Jakoavain> It doesn't install the  libxine-extracodecs, but those other 2 it installed.
[03:22] <Zergiu> thank for the help , gona let repositories reload , bb
[03:23] <sergio> Jucato: I have problems with juegon.com, a java games page. When I go to a game, the java applet is splitted, I see only a half of applet
[03:25] <sergio> Jucato: I want to use Konqueror instead Firefox
[03:25] <sergio> but I can't, with firefox the page runs well
[03:27] <wers> genii: I just posted the codes here--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3384599#post3384599

[03:33] <sharir> hello is there anybody here >
[03:33] <SlimeyPete> yep
[03:34] <Jakoavain> BluesKaj: It says that the wc32codecs wasn't found, but some packet is similar with it. This can mean that the wc32 is old or deleted
[03:34] <wers> how do I prevent beagle from runnning everytime I log in?
[03:42] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, w32codecs
[03:43] <Jakoavain> Yeah,
[03:43] <Jakoavain> sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[03:44] <ben-schmark> salut
[03:45] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, you may need to edit your sources.list , try source-o-matic , it will generate anew list that you can copy and paste into your /etc/apt/source.list file. Then you'll have access to all the codecs available in the repos
[03:45] <BluesKaj> !source-o-matic | Jakoavain
[03:45] <ubotu> Jakoavain: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:51] <Doctor_Nick> How do I start a process as its own user at startup?
[03:52] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: use su in /etc/rc.local
[03:52] <contrast83> Does the w32codecs package generally give better performance (e.g., less chance of having scrambled videos) than the packages for the codecs in Main (ffmpeg, etc.)?
[03:52] <Doctor_Nick> I need to create the user first
[03:53] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: adduser username
[03:53] <Doctor_Nick> im wondering how I make one without a login console
[03:53] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: without a login console?
[03:53] <Doctor_Nick> yeah
[03:53] <Doctor_Nick> so nobody can log in as that user and mess shit up
[03:53] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: err, what *can* you do on that machine?
[03:53] <paulatreides> dans konqueror je n'ai plus la barre de recherche avec google
[03:53] <paulatreides> avez vous une soluce ?
[03:53] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: oh, of course
[03:54] <BluesKaj> contrast83, w32codecs are mainly for windows media , ffmpeg is still required for avi, divx etc
[03:54] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: just look at your /etc/passwd. there's already plenty of "fake" users that work just like that
[03:54] <paulatreides> bonjour tout d'abord
[03:54] <Doctor_Nick> LjL: this is my home machine, im hosting a domain on here though and i dont want people to hack my shit
[03:54] <LjL> Doctor_Nick: just give /bin/false as the shell
[03:54] <LjL> !fr
[03:54] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:54] <stdin> can watch the language please Doctor_Nick
[03:54] <paulatreides> oh sorry
[03:54] <Doctor_Nick> hack my merde
[03:55] <LjL> paulatreides: right click on the toolbar, "configure toolbars", "search toolbar", and add "search bar".
[03:55] <LjL> Doctor_Nick, you were warned...
[03:56] <Jakoavain> BluesKaj: So I open the sourceslist with kate? And replace the text with new one, or add it to the end?
[03:57] <contrast83> BluesKaj: Oh ok. So w32codecs should do better with WMV's than ffmpeg would?
[03:57] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, replace it completely
[03:57] <BluesKaj> yes contrast83
[03:58] <LjL> unfortunately
[03:58] <contrast83> BluesKaj: What I find weird is, with some of my vids, they'll be all scrambled when I use the Xine engine, yet when I switch Kaffeine to the MPlayer engine, they're perfectly fine...
[03:59] <contrast83> What sucks is it seems that with the latest version of Kaffeine (the one in Gutsy), you can't even use the MPlayer engine. :-\
[03:59] <martijn81> does anyone know a guide to get ktorrent3.0 svn working?
[03:59] <BluesKaj> contrast83, that's strange , i usually have the reverse
[04:00] <martijn81> i have 2.2dev working, but i want the kde4 version to work :D
[04:00] <emilsedgh> contrast83: kaffeine has no mplayer engine, does it?
[04:01] <Doctor_Nick> where does linux usually dump all the links to executables
[04:01] <emilsedgh> martijn81: so you have to install kdelibs5 kdelibs5-dev and build-essential and then you have to compile ktorrent :)
[04:01] <rvd> Hello World :) I have a problem with my Hauppage wintv pvr-usb2 TVcard, I can't get the damn thing to function i linux.. I've downloaded the driver, but I'm all new to kernel compilation, so please help me - i need to watch scrubs! hehe
[04:01] <contrast83> emilsedgh: Settings -> Engine -> Embedded MPlayer for KDE
[04:01] <emilsedgh> Doctor_Nick: PATH
[04:01] <Doctor_Nick> $PATH?
[04:02] <contrast83> emilsedgh: If that's not there, I would assume you just need to install kmplayer-base
[04:02] <contrast83> Doctor_Nick: /usr/share/applications - is that what you're referring to?
[04:02] <emilsedgh> contrast83: I didnt know that Kaffeine has Mplayer Engine
[04:02] <contrast83> emilsedgh: Well, not anymore, it doesn't. :-(
[04:03] <emilsedgh> Doctor_Nick: type this in console: echo $PATH
[04:03] <contrast83> But then, maybe it's just a bug in Gutsy that's causing it to not show up.
[04:03] <Doctor_Nick> emilsedgh: yeah, i found it, thanks
[04:03] <martijn81> emilsedgh: do i have to install kde4? how do i use cmake??
[04:03] <Jakoavain> Blueskaj, How did I got the acces again? It says to check have I wrote the acces or something like that (: Open the kate with run command, right?
[04:04] <thechris> I cannot run firefox.
[04:04] <thechris> any ideas?
[04:04] <emilsedgh> martijn81: you have to install kde4 libraries, there are Beta2 packages for them, then you have to download ktorrent's sourcecode from svn
[04:04] <BluesKaj> Jakoavain, alt+F2 kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list  . it will ask for your password to give write permission
[04:05] <emilsedgh> thechris: whats the error message?
[04:05] <emilsedgh> thechris: run in in konsole
[04:05] <rvd> no one has any help to a tvcard in kubuntu??
[04:05] <Jakoavain> Yeah, I forgot the k from desu :)
[04:05] <thechris> emilsedgh: no error messages.  in console ther errors are due to BadDevice 169, and looks like the standard errors
[04:06] <martijn81> emilsedgh: and then i have to run activate and run kde4 already?
[04:07] <thechris> emilsedgh: yep, the only errors are the standard ones that say "you don't have a touchsceen installed", but with numbers
[04:07] <Doctor_Nick> hmm
[04:08] <emilsedgh> martijn81: no
[04:08] <Doctor_Nick> emilsedgh: you know when you do a make install, the install script usually sets up a command
[04:08] <Doctor_Nick> how do I get rid of the command?
[04:08] <emilsedgh> thechris: when it happend? it was working in the past or its installed newly?
[04:09] <thechris> emilsedgh: i just installed nvivia and set up xorg.conf
[04:09] <emilsedgh> Doctor_Nick: make uninstall ??
[04:09] <Doctor_Nick> this script sucks and doesnt have that :/
[04:09] <Zergiu> Hello again
[04:09] <Zergiu> can .BIN files be opened in linux?
[04:10] <emilsedgh> Doctor_Nick: make uninstall is not a part of your programs, thats a part of GNU Autotools, whats the output of make uninstall ?
[04:10] <emilsedgh> Zergiu: if they are for linux, yes they can
[04:10] <SlimeyPete> Zergiu: sure. Is it a binary installer, or a disc image?
[04:10] <Zergiu> binary installer
[04:10] <Zergiu> the java installer
[04:10] <Doctor_Nick> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[04:10] <SlimeyPete> "sh filename.bin" (or "sudo sh filename.bin")...but...
[04:10] <SlimeyPete> !java
[04:10] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[04:11] <contrast83> Doctor_Nick: Just for future reference, are you familiar with checkinstall?
[04:11] <SlimeyPete> ^^ better way to do it
[04:11] <Doctor_Nick> no
[04:11] <martijn81> emilsedgh: just follow this commands right? http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta2.php
[04:11] <thechris> oh and apt is broke too
[04:11] <emilsedgh> Doctor_Nick: is that already installed? make installed was successful?
[04:11] <Zergiu> thanks
[04:12] <SlimeyPete> np
[04:12] <Doctor_Nick> emilsedgh: yeah
[04:12] <contrast83> emilsedgh: You know that not every makefile has a rule to uninstall, right?
