[00:00] <nosrednaekim> miladen: are you using konversation?
[00:00] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, you install the programs directly from the internet
[00:00] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, for example, apt-get takes the files from here: http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[00:00] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, these are called repositories
[00:00] <miladen> yes Konversation
[00:01] <nosrednaekim> miladen: settings->configure notifications
[00:01] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, the more repositories, the more software you can install..  you can configure these repositories in your sources.list file (exact location: /etc/apt/sources.list)
[00:01] <jorge__> hola
[00:01] <miladen> ok wait, try writing my name again
[00:02] <jorge__> ¿alguien habla español'
[00:02] <miladen> some1 write my name :D
[00:02] <jorge__> necesito ayuda
[00:03] <jorge__> i need help
[00:03] <sven_oostenbrink> !es | jorge__
[00:03] <ubotu> jorge__: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[00:03] <sven_oostenbrink> jorge__, Si quieres ayuda aqui, tienes que hablar ingles, perdon...
[00:03] <jorge__> gracias
[00:03] <sven_oostenbrink> jorge__, youre welcome
[00:03] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: where is there a list of repositories?
[00:04] <miladen> so the more repositories= the more packages in adept
[00:04] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, I could send you my list.. its not 100% perfect (will give a number of warnings about repositories not existing anymore) but it works well
[00:04] <nosrednaekim> miladen: there is an indefinate number of repositories... anyone can make one
[00:04] <sourcemaker> well, my question is offt-topic.... but maybe someone can answer them:  how can I convert openoffice master documents to PDF in batch mode?
[00:04] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, more or less.. repositories should not cause incompatibilities.. but the ones I have work good
[00:04] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: isnt it irritating that you get an error message everytime u use adept
[00:04] <egork> jorge: yo hablo un poco.
[00:05] <tekteen> sourcemaker: I use macros for that
[00:05] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, no, you wont get errors every time.. just once during hte update you will see some warnings
[00:05] <sourcemaker> tekteen: are this offical macros from OO?
[00:05] <sven_oostenbrink> you backup the sources.list, put the new one there, then you HAVE to run " sudo apt-get update" wait for it to finish, and then you enjoy the new packages
[00:06] <tekteen> sourcemaker: no
[00:06] <tekteen> sourcemaker: there are guides online
[00:06] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: how can i get your list then? :)
[00:06] <penol> when i type apt-get install kde4-core i got this error = http://www.pastebin.no/3142
[00:06] <sourcemaker> tekteen: ok.. thanks
[00:07] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, check this:   http://rafb.net/p/N7KAZM28.html
[00:07] <sven_oostenbrink> put the contents of that in /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:07] <miladen> how do i do that? :S
[00:07] <miladen> just windows style?
[00:08] <nosrednaekim> miladen: erase whats in it, and paste that :)
[00:09] <nosrednaekim> miladen: and open it with root of course, like "kdesudo kate /etc/sources.list"
[00:13] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: doesnt work, when i do kdesudo kate etc/apt/sources.list it just shows up as a blank docu
[00:13] <miladen> ok
[00:13] <miladen> solved :)
[00:13] <miladen> ./etc/apt/sources.list
[00:15] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: ok done, what now?
[00:16] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: There are just as many packages available as befor
[00:16] <tekteen> miladen: did you update the repos?
[00:17] <miladen> no
[00:17] <tekteen> miladen: in the konsole type: sudo apt-get update
[00:17] <tekteen> miladen: with adept closed
[00:17] <miladen> i know, im doin it
[00:17] <miladen> didnt think befor :)
[00:18] <tekteen> miladen: what are you doing? I was not here.
[00:18] <miladen> updating my repository :)
[00:18] <tekteen> miladen: what is your goal here?
[00:18] <tekteen> :-)
[00:18] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: Thanks a lot dude :) do you know if i can find a "php repository"?
[00:19] <kijutsu> I'm attempting to mount an XFS drive from another system to recover approximately 6 gig from a 750 gig hard drive.  I keep getting a segmentation fault from xfs_check and a 'cannot read realtime bitmap inode (22)" error.  I'm not sure what the crap is going on, can anyone help?
[00:19] <blizzzek> gn8
[00:20] <miladen> tekteen: you follow? :)
[00:21]  * tekteen is confused
[00:22] <applehypnosis> miladen: there are php/php module packages in the ubuntu respositories, if that's what you mean
[00:22] <tekteen> applehypnosis: I think he wants programs coded in php
[00:22] <miladen> I shouldnt download GNOME stuff when im running kubuntu right?
[00:23] <tekteen> miladen: u can
[00:23] <tekteen> miladen: they just boot up slower
[00:23] <CadaverPimp> What would stop a splash screen from showing up?
[00:23] <CadaverPimp> When I boot, it only shows a blank screen
[00:23] <CadaverPimp> Whoa...
[00:23] <draik> Better
[00:23] <miladen> i need a "color scheme" so i can easily find colorcodes
[00:24] <tekteen> miladen: for html?
[00:24] <miladen> yea
[00:24] <miladen> (css)
[00:24] <tekteen> miladen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors
[00:24] <biovore> draik: you running amd 64?
[00:25] <miladen> tekteen what? i mean a package
[00:25] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, you can run gnome stuff on kde, no problem, but it IS less efficient, because you will be loading extra gnome libraries.. so if you can, use KDE only stuff, but if there is no alternative, no problem, just install it and use it
[00:25] <draik> miladen: http://www.immigration-usa.com/html_colors.html
[00:25] <draik> biovore: No
[00:25] <draik> biovore: Intel p4 2.0GHz
[00:25] <tekteen> miladen: I do not under stand the question
[00:25] <miladen> lol guys: i want a palette
[00:26] <tekteen> miladen: wikipedia has one
[00:26] <miladen> I know HTML colors :) i want the colorpalette, you know where I click a place and it tells me the color
[00:26] <draik> miladen: I gave you a complete list
[00:26] <miladen> nevermind guys :) i know wikipedia has one, i was just asking if such a package existed
[00:26] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, I dunno if there is such a thing as a php repository but it can.. Check google.. You can install PHP and lots of php related material from the standard repos though anyway
[00:27] <draik> biovore: It's an oldie laptop
[00:28] <miladen> sven_oostenbrink: Adept is really slow now :S
[00:31] <miladen> HERE IT WAS: kColorEdit
[00:33] <achilles> hi, what software do you guys recommend for creating websites?
[00:33] <nhowell> notepad
[00:33] <tekteen> achilles: kate :-)
[00:33] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, did you do an apt-get update after the new sources.list
[00:33] <nhowell> rofl
[00:33] <achilles> with a gui:P
[00:33] <tekteen> achilles: I hear NVU is good
[00:33] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, and please, tell me you made a backup of the original sources.list in case you want to go back? :)
[00:34] <sven_oostenbrink> miladen, anyway.. its not slow here, no problems iwth it
[00:34] <achilles> is it likea dreamweaver?
[00:34] <miladen> yes i did :)(
[00:34] <tekteen> achilles: it is by mozilla
[00:34] <tekteen> achilles: I know nothing about is
[00:34] <miladen> achilles download Windows XP, then throw it out and use Kate :)
[00:34] <nhowell> Im getting an error with an update I wanted to ask about
[00:35] <tekteen> !ask | nhowell
[00:35] <ubotu> nhowell: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:36] <nhowell> nevermind.  they must have fixed it recently. sry for the bother.  How is everyone today?
[00:36] <tekteen> ok
[00:37] <nhowell> it was xserver-xorg-core erroring out on the package upgrade install
[00:37] <nhowell> but I just tried it again and it worked fine.
[00:38] <draik> biovore: Got anything with the splash screen?
[00:38] <Odd-rationale> What was this probelm with the xorg package, anyways. I just heard about it and don't know what was the matter.
[00:39] <U238Willy> achilles, NVU now goes by Kompozer
[00:40] <achilles_> thanks i will try nvu
[00:40] <U238Willy> Quanta+ is another gui web design program
[00:40] <achilles_> thanks :)
[00:40] <nhowell> Odd:  I came in this morning to find the adept-updater alerting me of some package upgrades.  All of them ran in fine, but xserver-xorg-core errored out.  Tried it again, errored.  Restarted X, errored.  So once things piped down for the day, I thought I'd drop in and ask you guys.  As I was asking, I ran the updater again, and it worked fine.  They must have updated the package throughout the day.
[00:40] <U238Willy> NVU has stopped devel.. the project continues under the new name.
[00:41] <achilles_> oh
[00:41] <Odd-rationale> nhowell: I just saw the topic today. Then I ran an update and everything was fine.
[00:41] <Odd-rationale> But what was the problem in the first place?
[00:42] <nhowell> Still looking into that myself
[00:42] <achilles_> quanta says its to work with html  but can you creat wiith out coding?
[00:42] <andy_> hey guys i just installed kubuntu and im having an adept package manager error when i try to update
[00:42] <Odd-rationale> See you guys later!
[00:42] <tekteen> andy_: what happens?
[00:43] <andy_> basically when i go to install anything it says that there is another application using the adept
[00:43] <miladen> !fixkate
[00:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixkate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:43] <miladen> !kate

[00:43] <tekteen> ok
[00:43] <andy_> ok
[00:43] <tekteen> nm
[00:44] <tekteen> !adeptfix
[00:44] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[00:45] <tekteen> !adeptfix | andy_
[00:45] <ubotu> andy_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[00:45] <andy_> ok i just sent that string through
[00:46] <andy_> seems to work now
[00:46] <tekteen> andy_: ok
[00:46] <achilles_> i want to start programming but what language should i learn first theres so many:P
[00:46] <tekteen> achilles_: python or C++
[00:46] <U238Willy> that's a loaded question
[00:47] <biovore> I vote for lolcode.. its awsome.. :-P
[00:47] <achilles_> linus says c++ sucks:P
[00:47] <tekteen> achilles_: python is a scripting language
[00:47] <U238Willy> starting out.. i'd go for python as well..
[00:47] <U238Willy> or ruby
[00:47] <tekteen> achilles_: and works with QT
[00:47] <tekteen> Which means it works on windows and linux
[00:47] <andy_> seems to work now
[00:47] <andy_> thanks a lot
[00:47] <achilles_> oh nice:)
[00:48] <tekteen> andy_: np
[00:48] <achilles_> i think theres some python books in my schools library
[00:48] <tekteen> achilles_: how old are you?
[00:48] <achilles_> ill try it out:P
[00:48] <achilles_> 19
[00:48] <tekteen> achilles_: I am 15
[00:48] <achilles_> why?:P
[00:48] <nhowell> I have an update on the xserver problem if anyone is interested.
[00:49] <Strangelet> 14 here! :D
[00:49] <U238Willy> but if web stuff is your thing.. you might want to look into php
[00:49] <tekteen> Strangelet: Just turned 15
[00:49] <achilles_> lol
[00:49] <Strangelet> tekteen: happy birthday!  :-D
[00:53] <achilles_> interesting
[00:53] <tekteen> achilles_: scripts run slower. but are good for applications since the libs are all c++
[00:53] <achilles_> and what is C  what type is it
[00:54] <tekteen> achilles_: compiled
[00:54] <tekteen> achilles_: but harder to work with
[00:54] <achilles_> so you can only have binary with it?
[00:54] <tekteen> achilles_: it is also much faster
[00:54] <achilles_> not open?
[00:54] <tekteen> achilles_: yes
[00:54] <achilles_> ok im getting the hung of it:P
[00:55] <tekteen> that is what compiled means :-)
[00:55] <tekteen> achilles_: lets continue in #kubuntu-offtopic
[00:55] <achilles_> comiple is the process of translating source to binary right?
[00:55] <tekteen> achilles_: yes
[00:55] <tekteen> lets not flood the channel
[00:55] <achilles_> yeah sorry :P
[00:55] <tekteen> ... More :-)

[01:04] <tekteen> Strangelet: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/17/flipping-the-linux-switch-new-users-guide-to-the-terminal/
[01:05] <tekteen> !bash
[01:05] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[01:05] <tekteen> also use the link above ^
[01:05] <Strangelet> ooh!

[01:05] <family> anyone with ics experience? http://www.pastebin.ca/861900
[01:06] <yao_ziyuan> kde 4 is out...
[01:06] <applehypnosis> =]
[01:06] <yao_ziyuan> how large is kubuntu-desktop?
[01:06] <yao_ziyuan> kubuntu doesn't support east asian input methods very well. i want to download ubuntu + kubuntu-desktop
[01:07] <yao_ziyuan> it is said this way would solve it
[01:07] <yao_ziyuan> my Adept Manager is downloading the latest files from ppa.launchpad.net
[01:07] <Strangelet> what ARE the benefits of using KDE 4?
[01:07] <yao_ziyuan> will it be kde 4 files?
[01:08] <tekteen> Strangelet: no
[01:08] <yao_ziyuan> Strangelet: kde4 seems oversimplified
[01:08] <tekteen> Strangelet: kde4 is not ready
[01:08] <yao_ziyuan> Strangelet: and i don't like the appliance-like look'n'feel
[01:08] <Strangelet> I tried earlier today
[01:08] <Strangelet> dint like it, so I switched back to KDE3
[01:08] <tekteen> Strangelet: me too
[01:09] <yao_ziyuan> kde3 is probably too shiny after a while of use
[01:09] <Strangelet> what are the supposed pros?
[01:09] <sMonk> Hello
[01:09] <yao_ziyuan> too watery
[01:09] <yao_ziyuan> can make one nervous if tired
[01:10] <yao_ziyuan> or using a chinese phrase, "too eye-cutting"
[01:10] <Strangelet> tekteen: whoops! heehee
[01:10] <Strangelet> tekteen: BRB, registergin
[01:11] <Strangelet> tekteen: How do I register a nick in Kopete? :\
[01:12] <draik> biovore: Do you think that I am running 2.0GHz with 256MB RAM might be a hinder?
[01:12] <miladen> any1 know a really nice laptop, kinda like alienware style=
[01:12] <yao_ziyuan> i think, open source developers should be the anti-institution type, isn't it? how many of you are out of college?
[01:12] <miladen> ?
[01:12] <tekteen> there is info on freenode.net
[01:12] <tekteen> Strangelet: look above ^
[01:14] <Strangelet> tekteen: look at waht?
[01:14] <Strangelet> tekteen: freenode.net?

[01:17] <yao_ziyuan> when will be the next kubuntu release using kde4?
[01:18] <Strangelet> tekteen: when I type in /msg nicserv register *****, a new chat window to nickserv is made, that's it :\
[01:18] <Strangelet> maybe it is because I am using Kopete
[01:19] <tekteen> Strangelet: prob. not
[01:19] <tekteen> Strangelet: I have no clue though
[01:19] <Strangelet> tekteen: Hmm :\
[01:19] <ardchoille> Strangelet: nicserv or nickserv?
[01:19] <tekteen> oh
[01:19] <Strangelet> nickserv
[01:19] <Dr_willis> thats mnaking a private chat to  the nickserv. Be sure you got the name right. :)
[01:19] <Strangelet> tekteen: I am going to try using Konversation :)
[01:19] <nicholas> Strangelet here :)
[01:19] <Dr_willis> try /msg nickserv help
[01:20] <Jabapyth> i tried installing kde4-core, but i got an error "Broken packages"
[01:20] <nicholas> Jabapyth: maybe you need to add the sources
[01:20] <ardchoille> Jabapyth: kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4
[01:20] <Jabapyth> im pretty sure i did...jsec
[01:21] <Strangelet> huh..
[01:21] <draik_> Is it possible that since I am running 2.0GHz with 256MB RAM, I am unable to view the loading screen with KUBUNTU and the scrolling blue bar?
[01:21] <Strangelet> Tekteen: i DID register it :P
[01:21] <tekteen> Strangelet: cool
[01:21] <Strangelet> Tekteen: NickServ just didn't reply
[01:21] <Dr_willis> draik,  i wouldent think so.
[01:22] <justin_> why is it that just out of the blue my screent will go black as if changing resilutions then a little text input thing then it will got black then another blinking text thingy. this just happens out of nowhere
[01:22] <draik> Dr_willis: Ok. I still cannot figure out what is going on with it. I got the DVD to play, but now I'm wondering about the loading screen
[01:23] <Dr_willis> You are refering to the splash screen befor you get to the KDM login?
[01:23] <draik> Yes
[01:23] <draik> It's just blank
[01:23] <draik> The monitor is on
[01:23] <Strangelet> TekTeen: okay, it SHOULD work here on Konversation
[01:23] <draik> The backlight to the laptop is on
[01:23] <draik> Just nothing being displayed
[01:23] <Dr_willis> draik,  i always disable the lame splash and frame buffer. :) so  No idea.
[01:24] <Jabapyth> draik: so your screen is competely blank?
[01:24] <draik> Jabapyth: Yes.
[01:24] <Dr_willis> grub --> total blankness --> kdm login ?
[01:24] <draik> Dr_willis: Yes
[01:24] <Dr_willis> does the consolkes work after you login?
[01:24] <Dr_willis> alt-ctrl-f1 and so forth.
[01:24] <draik> Dr_willis: Let me check...
[01:25] <draik> Yes.
[01:25] <draik> BUT
[01:25] <draik> Its superimposed
[01:25] <Jabapyth> to upgrade to gutsy, do you just do a ful adept upgrade?
[01:25] <draik> I am getting a really closeup of the screen
[01:25] <Dr_willis> So the framebuffer displayed console is all goofed up.
[01:25] <draik> How do I fix that?
[01:25] <Dr_willis> Now ya know why i always disable the framebuffer. :) You Might be able to change the framebuffer res and get it working.
[01:25] <Jabapyth> draik: oh, this has happened to me before. restart the x server
[01:26] <draik> Jabapyth: I'm restarted the X Server many times. Nothing changes
[01:26] <Jabapyth> hmm
[01:26] <Dr_willis> I was thinking i was told that the splash does not rely on the framebuffer. But it might be a resolution issue.
[01:26] <Dr_willis> Some times ive had differnt X video cards/drivers/  goof up with the framebuffer consoles also.
[01:26] <draik> Dr_willis: The video card is ATi. The driver is ati. Try VESA?
[01:27] <Dr_willis> You want to lose all performace for X, just so you have a purty splash? :)
[01:27] <draik> No
[01:27] <Dr_willis> you could try the recovery/rescue mode, that normally disables the framebuffer also.
[01:27] <regeya> I am so looking forward to kde 4.1. :-D
[01:28] <justin_> why is it that just out of the blue my screent will go black as if changing resilutions then a little text input thing then it will got black then another blinking text thingy. this just happens out of nowhere
[01:28] <Dr_willis> see if you  can get to the consoles after the recovery mode boot, after starting X with startx, it could be the ATi drivers are fighting with the fremabuffer stuff.
[01:28] <draik> Dr_willis: I have 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768
[01:29] <draik> Those are my only resolutions
[01:29] <draik> Ok
[01:29] <draik> So I restart and choose recovery mode?
[01:29] <draik> Then go to a console?
[01:30] <draik> Then type "startx"
[01:30] <draik> And see if that works?
[01:30] <Dr_willis> revovery mode goes to the console. :) then try startx. and see if that messed up the consoles.
[01:30] <draik> Ok
[01:31] <draik> Also, I'm using -generic instead of -386, if that matters.
[01:38] <draik_> Dr_willis: Sorry, someone called the house and disconnected me
[01:38] <draik_> How do I get console from within XFCE?
[01:39] <draik_> It seems that it defaults to XFCE when I entered "startx"
[01:40] <draik_> Last thing I saw was your comment about "revovery mode goes to the console. :) then try startx. and see if that messed up the consoles."
[01:40] <draik_> Dr_willis: ^^^^^^
[01:50] <draik> dr
[01:50] <RalphNader> THIS IS A TEST
[01:51] <draik> Dr_willis: How do I get console from xfce?
[01:51] <genii> RalphNader: I hope the crash test dumies didn't get too badly injured in this test
[01:58] <draik> How do I remove XFCE to have only KDE?
[02:00] <genii> draik: sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop
[02:00] <draik> genii: Says it is not installed
[02:00] <mot__> http://www.break.com/index/monkey-needs-a-drink.html
[02:01] <genii> draik: So how then did you put xfce on?
[02:01] <draik> No clue
[02:01] <draik> Install it and remove it?
[02:08] <miketalanca> I have a pretty big problem. After the Xorg update, I had some problems, reinstalled my nVidia drivers, and went to reboot again...and now I cannot boot at all; for a normal boot it freezes at the loading screen right when it says "resuming normal boot" and stops in the middle of booting when I try to boot into recovery mode.
[02:09] <ehc> I have moved some programs into the kde Autostart directory but sometimes  kde will keep a program running on restart and Autostart will cause a second one to start. Is there a way to have an applicaiton start only if it isn't already running?
[02:13] <sub[t]rnl> ehc➜ system settings -> advanced -> session manager.  Enable start with an empty session to be sure that only the programs in the autostart directory will be opened
[02:17] <val0> does anyone know if .NRG and .DAA files can be viewed under linux?
[02:17] <draik> genii: If I do sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop, it only removes that app, not anything else.
[02:17] <tekteen> val0: can k3b read it>
[02:17] <tekteen> val0: can k3b read it?
[02:18] <genii> draik: xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage which includes al of the xfce system and applications
[02:18] <val0> tekteen: hmm good call let me check it out
[02:19] <val0> tekteen: nope it can't...
[02:19] <tekteen> ok
[02:20] <val0> tekteen need something along the lines of magiciso for windows
[02:20] <tekteen> val0: how about nrg2iso
[02:20] <tekteen> or isomagic
[02:20] <tekteen> iso magic I am not sure about
[02:21] <miketalanca> va10: I use a utility i found on kde-apps.org to mount just about any CD image file called MountISO
[02:21] <miketalanca> You should look into it.
[02:21] <val0> miketalanca thanks will do!
[02:22] <ApacheNoob> hello
[02:22] <miketalanca> I have a pretty big problem. After the Xorg update, I had some problems, reinstalled my nVidia drivers, and went to reboot again...and now I cannot boot at all; for a normal boot it freezes at the loading screen right when it says "resuming normal boot" and stops in the middle of booting when I try to boot into recovery mode. I have NO idea as to what the problem might be.
[02:23] <tekteen> ApacheNoob: hi
[02:23] <ApacheNoob> I have a slightly less epic problem
[02:23] <tekteen> but I cant answer miketalanca's
[02:23] <ApacheNoob> I need to set up apache and filezilla on my server
[02:23] <tekteen> try #ubuntu
[02:23] <ApacheNoob> okay
[02:23] <tekteen> this is for #kubuntu
[02:24] <tekteen> or ask here too
[02:24] <ApacheNoob> that's what I'm using
[02:24] <ApacheNoob> oh crap
[02:24] <ApacheNoob> I'm using xubuntu
[02:24] <draik> I'm trying to get rid of Xubuntu
[02:25] <tekteen> ApacheNoob: it does not matter
[02:25] <tekteen> ubuntu is ubuntu for the servers
[02:25] <tekteen> including kubuntu and xubuntu
[02:26] <ApacheNoob> ah
[02:26] <ApacheNoob> thanks tekteen
[02:29] <OuZo> !dolphin
[02:29] <ubotu> Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.
[02:29] <jerry_> has anyone trie dKDE 4?
[02:30] <tekteen> jerry_: yep
[02:30] <tekteen> jerry_: it is not ready yet
[02:30] <tekteen> jerry_: though you can try it if you want
[02:30] <ardchoille> jerry_: kde4 support in #kubuntu-kde4
[02:31] <draik> genii: It only removed the package xubuntu-desktop
[02:31] <niall> is there a way to roll back to before you last update?
[02:31] <draik> Not the other installed packages
[02:32] <genii> draik: And right now you have what? KDE and XFCE on your box?
[02:33] <draik> genii: Yes
[02:34] <genii> draik: please put into pastebin result of these commands: apt-cache policy xubuntu-desktop             apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop                apt-cache policy kubuntu-desktop
[02:35] <draik> On it
[02:35] <jerry_> ok
[02:37] <niall> how do you rename a directory at commandline?
[02:37] <tekteen> mv dir new-dir
[02:37] <draik> genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52529
[02:37] <genii> niall: (sudo) mv oldname newname
[02:38] <niall> thanks
[02:41] <Dr_willis> draik,  hmm.. the console is the  terminals on the alt-ctrl-F1 through f6 keys. if you are in Xfce. then you allready got X going. :)
[02:42] <draik> Dr_willis: I was in a console from recovery mode. I entered "startx" and I got into XFCE.
[02:42] <Dr_willis> draik,  then you did exactly what you wanted to do. :)
[02:43] <Dr_willis> startx just starts up X and spawns whatever default desktop ya got set.
[02:43] <draik> Dr_willis: Oh. Ok. So how do I change xfce to KDE?
[02:44] <Dr_willis>  given that its just a test.. it dont matter. You must of selected xfce from gdm/kdm some how   proberly a  setting file in your home dir.
[02:44] <Dr_willis> You could make a .xinitrc file and put in it 'startkde' that may go to kde.
[02:44] <Dr_willis> but this is all just for testing out the fremabuffer/splash/video issues.
[02:45] <niall> :x
[02:45] <draik> Ok
[02:45] <niall> so I take it you can't just log out and choose a different session and log back in then? ;x
[02:46] <draik> Everything worked. Console was the correct, decent size. How do I get it to do that in normal boot, rather than recovery?
[02:46] <Dr_willis> disable the framebuffer  Like i  alwyas say :) been saying it all day.
[02:47] <jabapyth> how do i start the x-server from command-line?
[02:48] <jabapyth> or for that matter, kde?
[02:48] <Dr_willis> append the 'nofb' option to the kernel= lines in menu.lst  or  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit the line to be like --> # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb              Then rerun 'sudo update-grub'
[02:48] <Dr_willis> jabapyth,  'startx' is the command.
[02:48] <jabapyth> thanks
[02:48] <jabapyth> bye
[02:48] <Dr_willis> You can set what X runs by default by editing the .xinitrc file (make it)
[02:49] <Dr_willis> work time for me. :(
[02:49] <draik> Dr_willis: How do I disable the framebuffer?
[02:52] <ddave> Hi #kubuntu
[02:53] <ddave> setting up a samba domain controller to provide files to both windows XP and kubuntu workstations
[02:53] <ddave> The WinXP machines have connected to the domain, I like that way that you have to ability to centralize logins on the PDC. I would like to use the same set of logins on the windows workstations provided by the PDC on the kubuntu workstations. What is the best way to do this?
[02:54] <BluesKaj> hmm, I've changed the bouncing cursor to no busy cursor in kcontrol/launch feedback , but it still bounces ...gawd it's annoying :(
[02:56] <Dr_willis> draik,  i just told you how to disable the framebuffer. edit the menu.lst file.
[02:56] <asdfasdfasdfasdf>  hi im trying to add subtiltes to a dvd without menu and im using qdvdauthor with spumus i checked text based subtiltes went to font typed Arial.ttf and then the execution dialog appeared sa¡ying this: http://rafb.net/p/25kI2R19.html
[02:56] <Dr_willis> bye all.
[02:56] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> of course i copied Arial.ttf from somewhere to $HOME/.spumux
[02:57] <jabapyth> for some reason my pc starts up with the splash screen, then switches to a cmd-line login
[02:57] <jabapyth> but it diddnt used to
[02:57] <jabapyth> how do i change this?
[03:04] <blgrnboy> sup dudes
[03:04] <blgrnboy> and ladies
[03:04] <blgrnboy> i got a question...
[03:04] <blgrnboy> I am new to linux, and although kubuntu is really friendly, I would like to learn to use command line
[03:05] <blgrnboy> and get familiar with linux OS
[03:05] <xRaich[o12x> blgrnboy: start konsole and type "man command" for the command you want to learn
[03:05] <se7en> !bash
[03:05] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[03:08] <MGalaxy> how can I force an APP to use newer libraries, e.g. from libwx2.6 to libwx2.8 ?
[03:11] <user_> hello all.  sorry if this has been discussed already (I imagine it has), but have any of you had any issues with today's update of the xorg-server?
[03:12] <user_> vlc won't run, and I'm sure there are other programs affected
[03:12] <xRaich[o12x> user_: there is already a bug in lauchpad dealing with that
[03:13] <biovore> yeah.. I had problems with it.. changes up my nvidia driver stuff..
[03:13] <biovore> and changed my xorg.conf
[03:13] <user_> xraich[o12x: thanks - just so i wasn't the only one
[03:13] <user_> i had some really weird things going on with my display for a while too, but after booting in recovery mode fixed that one
[03:13] <xRaich[o12x> user_: nope the problem is already known and the xorg package has been blocked
[03:14] <user_> xraich[o12x: so should i force-install the previous version?
[03:14] <user_> or wait for a fix?
[03:14] <xRaich[o12x> user_: if you want to fix the problem a downgrade should do the trick
[03:15] <xRaich[o12x> user_: but i don't really had any issues so don't ask me ;)
[03:15] <user_> xraich[o12x: i figured as much.  but will the xorg team release a fix?
[03:16] <makers_mark> hi.i'm having trouble using a webcam on another account in ubuntu.
[03:16] <xRaich[o]2x> user_: hmm dunno but i though is was more an ubuntu issue rather than xorg
[03:16] <user_> i'll just downgrade then.  thanks.
[03:16] <xRaich[o]2x> user_: arg sorry i'm pretty tired so my typing suffers a bit ^^
[03:17] <xRaich[o]2x> 4 am in the morning....
[03:17] <user_> makers_mark: what exactly are you trying to do with the webcam?  and is it a usb?
[03:17] <user_> xraich[o]2x: no probs.  but your nick is incredibly hard to type ;)
[03:17] <makers_mark> yes.i'm trying to use it through kopete and skype 2.0 beta.it works fine on my account (main account).
[03:17] <makers_mark> but it won't work on another admin account.
[03:18] <xRaich[o]2x> user_: use auto completition ;)
[03:18] <user_> how do i do that?
[03:18] <xRaich[o]2x> user_: like in bash. just hit tab
[03:19] <user_> xRaich[o]2x: cool.  i didn't know that Konversation had that feature!
[03:19]  * xRaich[o]2x is using irssi but konversation also does it
[03:19] <user_> makers_mark: did you need any special drivers to get it to work before?
[03:20] <user_> makers_mark: luvcview (if its still active) works wonders for linux webcams
[03:22] <user_> ha! just did an "apt-get update" and found that there already is a new xserver-core package available! Let's hope this one works better :)
[03:22] <makers_mark> user_ the other account didn't have flash player 9 installed.
[03:22] <makers_mark> user_ i installed that and rebooted.i think it'll work now.
[03:22] <user_> makers_mark: hmmm :/ That shouldn't matter
[03:22] <makers_mark> let me give it a whirl
[03:23] <user_> i mean, the webcam itself should work without Flash, but in certain programs, they may rely on Flash, so it just might work for you after all :)
[03:24] <makers_mark> user_ nevermind,it doesn't work.
[03:24] <makers_mark> but i have to go so i'll figure it out later.
[03:24] <Joe98052> Hey, I have a very stupid (noob) question, what is the best program to play dvd's with? (Yes, I am new to linux, Yes, I googled the hell out of this, and Yes, I still had to ask!)
[03:25] <xRaich[o]2x> Joe98052: did you install the medibuntu stuff?
[03:25] <Joe98052> xRainch nope, fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10

[03:27] <draik> How do I remove the frame buffers during boot?
[03:27] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: framebuffers should be disabled by default
[03:27] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: do you mean the splash?
[03:28] <Joe98052> xRainch: I appriciate you help!  I'll read up
[03:28] <draik> xRaich[o]2x: Yes. I do not see the splash prior to the KDM login. Also, console login is superimposed. I cannot see what follows.
[03:29] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: did you setup any framebuffers?
[03:29] <xRaich[o]2x> you see no splash at all?
[03:29] <draik> xRaich[o]2x: Not to my recollection
[03:29] <draik> xRaich[o]2x: None. It's all blank
[03:30] <xRaich[o]2x> now that's weird... sorry never saw that before. with kind of video card?

[03:58] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: dunno. i don't really know much about the kernel labeling in ubuntu ^^ but i don't really think i should cause any trouble. i'd pick the generic
[03:58] <draik> Generic it is
[03:58] <niall_> is there anyway I can edit the appearance of the K Menu?
[03:59] <xRaich[o]2x> niall_: you can use a replacement like kbfx or tastymenu
[03:59] <xRaich[o]2x> niall_: kbfx is pretty much horrible but some people seem to like it ^^
[03:59] <xRaich[o]2x> i think there also is a kde3 kickoff menu

[04:00] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: nope everything's fluffy
[04:00] <draik> So... reboot?
[04:00] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: give it a try ^^

[04:01] <genii> Mute your microphone?
[04:01] <CppIsWeird> not the microphone
[04:02] <CppIsWeird> when the computer tries to output sound is when it does that
[04:02] <ploo> how do you install and enable SSHD from cli?
[04:02] <xRaich[o]2x> CppIsWeird: intel chipset?
[04:02] <CppIsWeird> like the boot up sounds, etc.
[04:02] <CppIsWeird> yep
[04:02] <xRaich[o]2x> reduce cd volume
[04:02] <CppIsWeird> eh... ok...

[04:03] <draik> xRaich[o]2x: I rebooted. No splash screen. I see text. I wanted to see the splash screen, though. On the bright side. Boot time has gone from ~3 mintues to just under a minute.
[04:04] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: seems like your video card doesn't like the splash
[04:04] <xRaich[o]2x> CppIsWeird: did you reduce it in alsamixer?
[04:04] <draik> Oh well
[04:05] <draik> I can live without it
[04:05] <CppIsWeird> no, kmix
[04:05] <xRaich[o]2x> try that
[04:05] <draik> Now I am just wondering if it is conflicting with something else that I am not aware of right now.
[04:05] <CppIsWeird> k, one sec. i had a high pitched squeal that did go away when i turned off line-in
[04:05] <xRaich[o]2x> draik: dunno. but that was all i could think off right now ^^
[04:06] <draik> xRaich[o]2x: That's fine. It may not produce the end results I wanted, but my boot time is cut down to a third
[04:06] <xRaich[o]2x> CppIsWeird: just juggle around with some settings. i had the high pitch problem when alpha testing hardy and CD volume fixed it
[04:07] <CppIsWeird> but i dont hear the actual sound
[04:07] <xRaich[o]2x> hrm
[04:07] <CppIsWeird> like every time im supposed to hear a ding from a messenger, i get a screetch
[04:08] <CppIsWeird> i had a buttload of problems getting my sound to work in 7.04, and after like a month of screwing around i finally got it
[04:08] <xRaich[o]2x> CppIsWeird: odd....
[04:08] <CppIsWeird> i will sooner go back to windows before going through that crap again. >_<
[04:08] <xRaich[o]2x> sad to hear that
[04:08] <xRaich[o]2x> maybe you should submit a bug report
[04:13] <jimmy51> xRaich[o]2x:  sort of.  it's getting further, but the remote end is disconnecting
[04:14] <xRaich[o]2x> jimmy51: well that's a far as i can get. don't know much about vpn
[04:14] <xRaich[o]2x> seems like a configuration problem
[04:14] <jimmy51> xRaich[o]2x:  thanks for the help so far... i'm further than i would be without the proper libraries installed!
[04:15] <xRaich[o]2x> np problem.... mind head feels funny... it's 5 am and i'm all out of tea
[04:15] <xRaich[o]2x> neeeeeed sleeeeeep
[04:15] <niall_> you were right
[04:15] <niall_> kbfx is horrible
[04:15] <xRaich[o]2x> but on the other hand i feel kinda awake...
[04:16] <xRaich[o]2x> niall_: it sure is ^^
[04:16] <xRaich[o]2x> niall_: wait for kde4.1. it should have some nice menus ;)
[04:16] <niall_> that's not out till July
[04:17] <xRaich[o]2x> it's sure worth waiting for ^^
[04:17] <niall_> ;D
[04:17] <niall_> I think 4.0.4 is out by April
[04:17] <xRaich[o]2x> kde4.0 is pretty much the most amazing DE i've ever used
[04:17] <niall_> so that's probably what they'll include in Kubuntu 8.04
[04:17] <niall_> yeah
[04:18] <niall_> I liked it, it just ran really slow
[04:18] <jimmy51> xRaich[o]2x:  i've found a ubuntu guide for what i want to do:  http://tipotheday.com/2007/11/28/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-gutsy/  is that worth trying?
[04:18] <niall_> so I'm holding out for a proper distribution
[04:18] <xRaich[o]2x> runs very fast over here
[04:18] <ploo> there any problems installing kubuntu 7.10 on lcd labtop with 8600gt nvidia card?
[04:18] <ploo> stops when trying to load the install
[04:19] <xRaich[o]2x> jimmy51: looks smexy give it a lick ^^
[04:19] <jimmy51> what?
[04:19] <jimmy51> (if that's linux lingo, i don't know what it means...)
[04:19] <ploo> fatal error no screens found
[04:19] <xRaich[o]2x> jimmy51: nevermind... i'm weird.. way to tired ^^
[04:20] <xRaich[o]2x> jimmy51: just try the howto you have posted
[04:20] <smax> hi
[04:20] <smax> i installed Qt 4 but g++ cant see it.
[04:21] <xRaich[o]2x> smax: did you install the dev packages?
[04:22] <smax> whats to add to my PATH
[04:22] <smax> yes
[04:22] <ardchoille> smax: KDE4?
[04:22] <smax> xRaich[o]2x: sudo apt-get install libqt4-gui libqt4-dev
[04:22] <smax> im on feisty fawn
[04:22] <smax> are those the correct packages ?
[04:23] <xRaich[o]2x> hmm dunno programming in qt4 works like a charm over here. running gutsy
[04:23] <xRaich[o]2x> packages look correct to me
[04:23] <smax> error: QApplication: No such file or directory
[04:24] <xRaich[o]2x> smax: you familiar with building qt4 apps?
[04:24] <xRaich[o]2x> qmake etc?
[04:24] <smax> i used g++
[04:24] <smax> this is my hellow world.
[04:24] <smax> i know C++, just now getting into Qt.
[04:24] <xRaich[o]2x> ah ok
[04:24] <xRaich[o]2x> qt is different
[04:24] <xRaich[o]2x> it extends c++
[04:25] <xRaich[o]2x> so you need some different tools
[04:25] <niall_> nn!
[04:26] <smax> ok qmake is what im looking for.
[04:26] <smax> but...
[04:26] <smax> /home/jerware/C++/qt/hello.cpp:5: Unknown test function: int main
[04:26] <smax> i'll throw a paste bin
[04:26] <xRaich[o]2x> make a folder
[04:26] <xRaich[o]2x> name it helloworld
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> inside you put a file main.cpp
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> with you code
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> run qmake -project
[04:27] <smax> http://rafb.net/p/C6h0k178.html
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> run qmake
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> and tada it should work
[04:27] <smax> ok
[04:27] <xRaich[o]2x> at least i think so ^^
[04:28] <xRaich[o]2x> can't think straight anymore :P
[04:28] <smax> no erros. but i got a qt.pro
[04:28] <smax> rather than an a.out
[04:28] <xRaich[o]2x> run qmake
[04:29] <smax> now i have a Makefile
[04:29] <xRaich[o]2x> run make
[04:29] <smax> hello.cpp:6: error: ‘argc’ was not declared in this scope
[04:29] <smax> forgot data types
[04:29] <xRaich[o]2x> how does your code look?
[04:29] <xRaich[o]2x> nopaste please
[04:30] <smax> xRaich[o]2x: thanx pal
[04:30] <smax> it worked
[04:31] <smax> i have a qt bin file.
[04:31] <xRaich[o]2x> congrats ;)
[04:32] <smax> xRaich[o]2x: Do you like the designer?
[04:32] <xRaich[o]2x> smax: sure
[04:32] <smax> i have heard some controversy about it.
[04:32] <smax> but nothing speciffic.
[04:32] <xRaich[o]2x> way better than layouting by hand
[04:33] <xRaich[o]2x> it gives me the results i want. a lot faster than doing it with code
[04:34] <ploo> how come when I try to install kubuntu it does not boot the livecd or graphical installer?
[04:34] <smax> ploo is your boot device priorit set to cdrom ?
[04:34] <ploo> it boots off CD
[04:34] <ploo> get the kubuntu thing
[04:34] <ploo> for start and shit like that
[04:34] <ploo> after that nothing
[04:35] <xRaich[o]2x> ploo: check the md5 of the iso you downloaded
[04:35] <xRaich[o]2x> and check the cd
[04:35] <ploo> nvidia 8000's having problems?
[04:35] <xRaich[o]2x> maybe something went wrong
[04:35] <ploo> it will do a text based install
[04:36] <organix> i'm running nvidia 7800gt working as intended
[04:36] <genii> organix: Mine too
[04:37] <organix> kde4 works beautifully too ;)
[04:37] <xRaich[o]2x> id check the cd first
[04:37] <ploo> there iso's with kde4?
[04:37] <xRaich[o]2x> yep
[04:37] <ploo> url?
[04:37] <xRaich[o]2x> kubuntu.org
[04:37] <xRaich[o]2x> inside the kde4 announcement
[04:37] <organix> It is only a live CD though, correct?
[04:38] <biovore> !kde4
[04:38] <ubotu> KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[04:38] <xRaich[o]2x> dunno i have kde4 running here. never tested the live cd
[04:38] <ploo> NO screens found
[04:38] <ploo> is what happens
[04:38] <ploo> when trying to boot
[04:38] <se7en> ploo: as far as i know the kde4 live cd doesn't even have knetworkmanager
[04:39] <xRaich[o]2x> ploo: hmmm i had that error a few years ago... but that was with the closed driver
[04:40] <xRaich[o]2x> se7en: run the kde3 knetworkmanager
[04:41] <xRaich[o]2x> or use the solidshell
[04:41] <xRaich[o]2x> dunno if it's already suited to do the job
[04:41] <se7en> well if you can't connect to the internet how you get kde3's networkmanager xRaich[o]2x
[04:41] <ploo> kubuntu have 64bit?
[04:41] <xRaich[o]2x> se7en: pppoeconf
[04:42] <xRaich[o]2x> works for dsl
[04:42] <organix> ploo: yes
[04:42] <se7en> ok xRaich[o]2x i didn't know that
[04:42] <xRaich[o]2x> ploo: yep but has some issues with closed source
[04:42] <xRaich[o]2x> no flash, skype and so on
[04:43] <ploo> issues like?
[04:43] <xRaich[o]2x> see above
[04:43] <ploo> do I gain much using 64bit?
[04:43] <xRaich[o]2x> not really
[04:44] <xRaich[o]2x> for a few things it just means more work
[04:44] <xRaich[o]2x> the 32bit needs less care
[04:44] <xRaich[o]2x> at least it was that way when i tried it the last time ^^
[04:47] <justin_> would kubuntu be good for devolpment C C++ pascal etc.
[04:47] <justin_> and how do i upgrade the version
[04:47] <xRaich[o]2x> i'd say yes
[04:48] <justin_> how do i upgrade to a newer version
[04:49] <justin_> i found it nvm
[04:49] <xRaich[o]2x> justin_: check the wiki there should be a howto or something
[04:49] <justin_> its a big button in the package manager
[04:53] <justin_> why is it that out of the blue, my moiniter goes black twice. i think x server is restarting or somthing or at least that what it looks like, ok let me restate why is it that out of nowhere X restarts twice then goes back to normal
[04:53] <ubunturos> !xbug
[04:53] <ubotu> A bug has recently caused an X.org package to break. It is fixed now, just update your packages list from Synaptic/Adept or « sudo apt-get update »
[04:53] <draik> Does anyone here play Uplink?
[04:54] <justin_> whats that is it fun
[04:54] <CppIsWeird> xRaich[o]2x, well i got all the high pitched noise to go away, but now i get nothing at all. >_<
[04:55] <arrrghhh> ok, so i'm trying to install kubuntu 7.10 on this older machine, and kdesktop came up with an error and now there's no desktop icons
[04:56] <xRaich[o]2x> CppIsWeird: submit a bug report
[04:56] <arrrghhh> so how do i install kubuntu now without the install icon?
[04:56] <organix> arrrghhh: have you tried rebooting back into the CD
[04:56] <jimmy51> i think this is my bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/123696
[04:56] <arrrghhh> organix: yes, same error
[04:57] <arrrghhh> i added more ram because before it wouldn't load anything with 256 or whatever it had before
[04:57] <jimmy51> kubuntu + connecting to windows vpn server = broken
[04:57] <xRaich[o]2x> ok 6am.. time for me to hit the sac
[04:57] <arrrghhh> yea i haven't found a way to connect to pptp with linux
[04:57] <xRaich[o]2x> by folks
[04:58] <jimmy51> man oh man.  i hate to whine about a free OS, but that's a big hit if i can't dial in to work from my home linux box
[04:58] <justin_> X is still messed up after i updated it still messes up when im play urban terror (open source Q3 mod)
[04:59] <justin_> would x86_64 arch have anything to do with it
[04:59] <draik> justin_: http://www.uplink.co.uk
[05:00] <jimmy51> !pptp
[05:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pptp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:00] <inaety_> how can i lock my screen on kde4
[05:01] <draik> inaety_: Doesn't CTRL+ALT+L work?
[05:01] <ardchoille> inaety_: kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4
[05:01] <inaety_> ardchoille: thanks
[05:01] <ardchoille> yw
[05:01] <draik> Hey there ardchoille
[05:01] <inaety_> draik: no, i believe i am missing a componoent
[05:01] <ardchoille> hi draik
[05:02] <draik> Well, it's late and I work tomorrow. Goodnight all.
[05:02] <organix> jimmy51: http://fosswire.com/2007/10/13/setting-up-a-simple-vpn-connection/
[05:03] <organix> jimmy51: check out rdesktop as well
[05:03] <justin_> X server is still restarting(at least i think thats what it is) out of nowhere
[05:04] <organix> check your log files justin_
[05:04] <organix> see if it points you in any directions
[05:05] <organix> _/var/log/*xorg
[05:11] <smax> if i write a UML diagram in Dia,  could visio read it too ?
[05:12] <smax> just like openoffice can read microsoft office.
[05:12] <ubuntu> so there's no textual installer on the desktop livecd?
[05:13] <ubuntu> because the icons on the desktop are still not loading
[05:13] <ubuntu> and i can't start the installer any other way other than that desktop icon?
[05:14] <organix> ubuntu: try browsing your desktop through dolphin or whatever?
[05:15] <ubuntu> y'know i thought i tried that... but now i just feel dumb.  let's see if it starts it.  looks like it's going to
[05:15] <organix> if that fails, try your trusty shell
[05:15] <ubuntu> well how do i run it from the shell?
[05:15] <organix> good question :)
[05:15] <organix> ./installer-name
[05:15] <organix> maybe
[05:16] <ubuntu> hrm, it's slooooow.
[05:16] <ubuntu> the window came up
[05:16] <ubuntu> but it's still loading
[05:16] <organix> out of curiosity, why are you attempting to install on such a slow PC?
[05:17] <ubuntu> because XP is atrocious
[05:17] <ubuntu> this isn't my machine
[05:17] <ubuntu> but i can't stand seeing someone using XP.  the livecd has been working fairly well once it's loaded
[05:18] <organix> could always try xubuntu if kubuntu fails
[05:18] <ubuntu> yea
[05:18] <ubuntu> i thought about it
[05:18] <organix> i personally don't like xfce
[05:18] <ubuntu> yea i used to use it
[05:18] <ubuntu> but i found kde was much more mature WM
[05:19] <ubuntu> and xfce was actually running worse on the box i was using it on
[05:19] <ubuntu> didnt feel lighter at all
[05:19] <organix> some argue it's not
[05:20] <NeoOokami> Xubuntu's a bit heavier than a regular Xfce desktop.
[05:20] <organix> Neo0okami: interesting, I wonder why.
[05:20] <NeoOokami> They're quite a bit of Gnome bits still in it to make up where Xfce's lacking.
[05:21] <NeoOokami> It's a lot more minimalistic by itself.
[05:21] <organix> I see
[05:21] <NeoOokami> Though if you're worried about being ultralight you shouldn't be using a desktop environment anyways~
[05:21] <organix> ./agreed
[05:21] <ubuntu> well...
[05:21] <organix> all my servers run debian
[05:21] <ubuntu> i'm setting this up for a soon-to-be ex windows user
[05:22] <ubuntu> a console environment is not a viable replacement
[05:22] <NeoOokami> Don't get me wrong. I use desktop environments. XD
[05:22] <ubuntu> profoX`: is pissing me off!
[05:22] <NeoOokami> ubuntu: I meant more a plain window manager and just the apps you want.
[05:22] <ubuntu> NeoOokami: plain like what?
[05:23] <ubuntu> like flux?
[05:23] <NeoOokami> ubuntu: Yeah. Just the window manager.
[05:23] <organix> ubuntu: is your PC still loading Dolphin? haha
[05:23] <ubuntu> well
[05:23] <NeoOokami> Gnome, KDE, and even Xfce load up quite a bit to provide functionality.
[05:23] <ubuntu> dolphin works great
[05:23] <snarkster> Ive never used Flux. are there any screen shots of it?
[05:23] <ubuntu> konquerer works great
[05:24] <ubuntu> NeoOokami: what do you suggest then?
[05:24] <organix> google: fluxbox screenshots
[05:24] <NeoOokami> For a former windows user I suggest Gnome or KDE.
[05:24] <ubuntu> ja
[05:24] <ubuntu> i'm goin with kde
[05:24] <ubuntu> or at least trying to
[05:24] <ubuntu> so i have to download the alternate CD to install with the text installer?
[05:24] <NeoOokami> I like both honestly. Though my presence here should indicate my preference.
[05:24] <ubuntu> that is lame
[05:25] <ubuntu> NeoOokami: well you mentioned a '
[05:25] <ubuntu> plain window manager'
[05:25] <genii> Please.Someone put me out of this profoX misery
[05:25] <ubuntu> seriously
[05:25] <NeoOokami> If you're worried about being ultra light.
[05:25] <ubuntu> can someone ban him for like 20 mins?
[05:25] <ubuntu> or so
[05:25] <NeoOokami> Not in general.
[05:25] <ubuntu> well
[05:25] <ubuntu> i want kde
[05:25] <ubuntu> but this is not workin for me
[05:25] <NeoOokami> I like all of the functionality and cohesiveness of a desktop~
[05:26] <genii> !ops profoX_ flood

[05:29] <genii> Can someone remind me of proper !ops   call??
[05:29]  * genii hides
[05:30] <ubuntu> so there's no text install on the desktop livecd?
[05:31] <ubuntu> kinda ridiculous you have to download a different image... seems like a simple thing they could incorporate.
[05:32] <m0u5e> where can i find a well kept kde4 repos?
[05:32] <m0u5e> well *maintained

[05:33] <m0u5e> ty
[05:33] <organix> nice transfer rates too (in oregon atleast)
[05:33] <ubuntu> so is that the only way to do the text install?
[05:33] <ubuntu> download the alternate iso?
[05:34] <organix> ubununtu: unfortunatly yes
[05:34] <m0u5e> i just add this to my source.lst?
[05:34] <organix> m0u5e: yup

[05:40] <AdmPaul> Last time I booted into windows I sent my system into hibernate.
[05:40] <LamerMan> how can i launch several processes in bash? :) when i just print program1\nprogram2\n, program2 will not be launched until program1 exits.
[05:41] <AdmPaul> I'm gonna try that and see if it works. Thanks for the assist ubuntu.
[05:41] <organix> LamerMan: use &&
[05:41] <genii> LamerMan: What organix said
[05:41] <LamerMan> ok, thanks.
[05:41] <organix> or, have fun with pipes ^^
[05:48] <LamerMan> organix could you please make an example? i try program1 && program2, is that wrong?
[05:48] <hydrogen> organix: no
[05:48] <hydrogen> LamerMan: no
[05:48] <hydrogen> LamerMan: you can lauch a program in the background but adding & to it
[05:48] <organix> LamerMan: should work fine...
[05:48] <hydrogen> organix: no, it won't
[05:49] <hydrogen> that will lauch one program, if it ends successfully it will launch the next
[05:49] <hydrogen> program1 & launches it and puts it in the background
[05:49] <LamerMan> hydrogen like &program1 ?
[05:49] <LamerMan> or program1& or program1 & ? :)
[05:49] <se7en> LamerMan: kwrite& kate&
[05:49] <LamerMan> ok thanks.
[05:59] <LamerMan> it works, but now the shell blocks until all the programs exit (and redirects stdout or all programs to the shell). How could i make it not block completely?
[05:59] <LamerMan> i type pr1& \n pr2& \n
[06:00] <genii> Why are you putting in the newline?
[06:00] <LamerMan> should i make it in one single line?
[06:00] <se7en> kwrite& kate&
[06:02] <hydrogen> err
[06:02] <hydrogen> newlines are fine
[06:02] <hydrogen> you may need a space before the &
[06:02] <AdmPaul> Somehow I got both Synaptic and Adept package managers installed on my system. I can remove Synaptic without a problem, correct?
[06:03] <LamerMan> i'm new to linux :) shell does not block until the programs exit but it won't return until i press enter in the shell. If i put that script in rc.local to launch programs automaticall, won't it block? :)
[06:03] <hydrogen> no
[06:03] <ardchoille> AdmPaul: Yes, it's just a gui front-end to APT
[06:04] <LamerMan> ok
[06:04] <AdmPaul> ardochoille: Thought so. Thanks.
[06:15] <fortruth> join #kde-cn
[06:33] <LamerMan> me again :) i try to launch java application automatically after the start, to do it i place the string "java -jar my.jar&" and it does not launch. When i type the vvery same in console, application starts. Maube rc.local start before x-server or some other stuff that prevents java from starting proreply? where is it better to start it (propably rc.local is not the best place)?
[06:33] <LamerMan> * i place the string "java -jar my.jar&" in rc.local
[06:35] <Lynoure> LamerMan: what kind of application is it? if it requires gui, it cannot get it at that stage yet
[06:35] <LamerMan> yeah, it need gui
[06:36] <LamerMan> *needs
[06:36] <Lynoure> LamerMan: should work from .kde/Autostart , I think
[06:36] <LamerMan> ok, thank, i'll try it
[06:43] <m0u5e> is there a kde4 metapackage?
[06:47] <m0u5e> anyone know?
[06:47] <m0u5e> anyone know if there is a kde4 metapackage?
[06:48] <flick> yes there is
[06:48] <flick> http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php
[06:48] <m0u5e> do you know what it is/
[06:48] <m0u5e> t

[06:48] <flick> gives step by step for how to install
[06:49] <m0u5e> i already did that, but i don't have much besides a really basic desktop
[06:49] <m0u5e> are there any other kde4 meta packages?
[06:49] <flick> http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/01/15/ten-tips-for-kde-40-beginners/
[06:49] <flick> that link has some good stuff
[06:50] <flick> and if you search in Synaptic for "kde4" you'll see a lot of stuff you can install
[06:50] <flick> there's a kde4 version of Kopete
[06:50] <flick> lots of other kde4 goodness
[06:51] <flick> it just isn't all installed by default
[06:51] <flick> hope that helps a little at least
[06:53] <m0u5e> okay thx
[06:53] <flick> you're welcome
[06:53] <flick> have fun
[07:08] <len> If you have a module that lucks up your system on boot, how do you remove that module from the modules list if that module causes your system to lock before you can get to the file to edit it?  Is there a grub cheat code to skip loading most most modules or something so you can to the file do disable it?  I tried recovery mode, but it still loaded the module.
[07:08] <len> locks
[07:10] <makers_mark> i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and i set up my webcam to work with skype and kopete but it just won't work for another admin account.
[07:13] <crimsun> len: you could try using init=/bin/bash
[07:14] <crimsun> len: at that point you could remount / rw, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, save it, sync, remount / ro, and reboot
[07:16] <len> That sounds like what I'm looking for.  You mean hold the esc key down at boot and type init=bin/bash on the grub line?
[07:18] <len> It's not my machine.  I have to step someone over the  phone.  I'd just tell him to boot a live cd, edit the file and reboot, but he doesn't have a working livecd and can't get one 'cause he's getting locked on boot.  Catch-22.
[07:19] <oscar> can anybody explain to me
[07:19] <oscar> why does not amd do drivers for mobility radeon hd-series?
[07:19] <CppIsWeird> I upgraded to 7.10 from 7.04 and now my sound plays these ultra high pitched squeals. Any ideas as to a course of action?
[07:22] <JoshOvki> lots of kde4 updates this morning
[07:22] <justin_> where can i get a easy to use C++ compiler
[07:22] <JoshOvki> a GUI or command line one?
[07:22] <justin_> KDE should come with one kalled kompile
[07:22] <justin_> GUI
[07:22] <justin_> im learning still
[07:24] <JoshOvki> yours didnt come with it did it?
[07:24] <justin_> kubuntu 7.10 x86_64
[07:24] <justin_> it came with no dev tools whatsoever
[07:25] <len> kdevelop
[07:25] <justin_> i have that how do i compile
[07:25] <JoshOvki> open up command line and run      sudo apt-get install kompile
[07:26] <justin_> haha how did i know it would be called kompile
[07:26] <Daisuke_Ido> justin_: install build-essential
[07:27] <Daisuke_Ido> but for the most part, if you CAN install from the repos, do, they're there for a reason.
[07:28] <justin_> so uh how do i compile my .cpp file
[07:29] <justin_> its the simple hello world
[07:29] <Daisuke_Ido> first, install build-essential
[07:29] <Daisuke_Ido> !compile
[07:29] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[07:31] <justin_> #include <iostream>

[07:33] <justin_> i just out of the blue today decided i want to learn C++
[07:34] <JoshOvki> i learnt it ages ago and there are a couple of problems with your code
[07:34] <ethan961> haha
[07:35] <ethan961> no not that
[07:35] <JoshOvki> for examaple you havent closed your speachmarks are the end on Hello World
[07:36] <CppIsWeird> hes gone buddy
[07:37] <JoshOvki> ah ok
[07:37] <JoshOvki> i should have saved my keystrokes :P
[07:39] <ubuntu> ok so i ended up using the text installer
[07:39] <ubuntu> and it failed loading grub... i have *never* seen grub fail to load.  everything else i'm assuming is fine... so can i save it?
[07:40] <JoshOvki> i have seen grub fail a few times
[07:40] <arrrghhh> well
[07:40] <arrrghhh> i'm pretty new to linux
[07:40] <arrrghhh> installed about 10 maybe unique machines
[07:41] <arrrghhh> and this one has been the worst... other than that dell vostro which failed completely.
[07:41] <arrrghhh> so can i save the install?  i really don't want to have to go thru that again.
[07:41] <JoshOvki> ive installed it on about 20 machines, at first i had problems, but not i have vert little
[07:42] <Lynoure> Getting to choose the hw helps :)
[07:42] <JoshOvki> i think you can arrrghhh
[07:42] <arrrghhh> ok...

[07:43] <arrrghhh> JoshOvki: that's not even close to what i need
[07:44] <arrrghhh> and when i installed the os grub and lilo failed
[07:44] <arrrghhh> they simply would not install
[07:44] <arrrghhh> wouldn't really give a reason, just couldn't
[07:44] <arrrghhh> and i had to finish the install without it, and now of course when i boot from the hdd i get "failed to load operating system" or whatever
[07:45] <makers_mark> hi.i run ubuntu 7.10 and i managed to install my webcam to work with skype and kopete.but the problem is that the webcam won't work with another admin account on the same pc.any help?
[07:47] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: lilo and grub are a bit mutually exclusive  (or did I misunderstand what you meant...)
[07:48] <JoshOvki> sorry arrrrg i misinturprited something
[07:48] <zorglu_> q. when i unlog from ssh, it frequently freezes. where should i look to be able to fix it ?
[07:49] <arrrghhh> Lynoure: i just want to install grub
[07:49] <arrrghhh> i have a complete install, but no bootloader
[07:50] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: then (make a rescue disk and) remove lilo, install grub.
[07:50] <arrrghhh> http://pastebin.com/d2b5a303
[07:51] <arrrghhh> Lynoure: lilo wouldn't install either
[07:51] <Lynoure> zorglu_: sshd freezes?
[07:51] <JoshOvki> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351    has how to install grub
[07:51] <zorglu_> Lynoure: nope, the client ssh. and only when i unlog
[07:51] <zorglu_> Lynoure: not all the time tho. sometime it works without issue
[07:51] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: your pastebin did not contain anything about the errors you got...
[07:52] <zorglu_> Lynoure: unfortunatly i cant figure out what cause it. all that is over LAN between 2 ubuntu i386
[07:52] <arrrghhh> Lynoure: sorry http://pastebin.com/m39d50fc8
[07:53] <arrrghhh> and the error when installing kubuntu was just 'grub could not be installed' - it didn't give me any explanation as to why.  lilo did the same thing, just said it could not be installed.
[07:54] <JoshOvki> this using the same CD both times?
[07:54] <Lynoure> zorglu_: If the remote hangs up on you, instead of you user logging out, then it is quite normal for it to hang for a bit... I guess you could strace the process while it has frozen, but often these 'sometimes' errors are timeconsuming to look into
[07:55] <zorglu_> Lynoure: ok. this is not the usual 'timeout' issue. this one i got it fixed by configuration :) this is only when i do ctrl-d. then it stay frozen forever (well at least 5min, which is the most i have waited before doing killall ssh)
[07:56] <zorglu_> Lynoure: ok i will do strace next time. btw i asked a friend of mine and he experiences the same issue
[07:57] <arrrghhh> Lynoure: so was that the wrong way to install grub?
[07:58] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: not really, if you want to do it manually... I guess you had reasons for that
[07:59] <arrrghhh> well
[07:59] <arrrghhh> it didn't work
[07:59] <arrrghhh> is there any other way to save the install?
[08:00] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: what do you mean by "save the install"? make a clone of the whole disk, rescue the effort that has gone into installing, something else?
[08:00] <arrrghhh> no no... like the install is done, it just needs a bootloader
[08:00] <Lynoure> It's weird if it did not put it there itself...
[08:01] <arrrghhh> it tried to
[08:01] <arrrghhh> but gave me an error
[08:01] <Lynoure> Was that this Error 15 then too, or something else?
[08:01] <arrrghhh> said it couldn't do it... i really wish i knew why.  i'm wondering if this hdd is messed up, i don't know
[08:02] <arrrghhh> well the error i received when the actual grub installer tried from the kubuntu install it just said it couldn't do it, this is a fatal error you'll need to manually start linux etc
[08:03] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: many people have found what they need by using the supergrub disk
[08:04] <arrrghhh> shoot i was hoping to not burn more cd's lol
[08:04] <Lynoure> arrrghhh: there is a usb image
[08:06] <serg> Hi all tell me please how to switch between boot modes without reboot?
[08:07] <JoshOvki> what an odd question

[08:30] <NickPresta> You could always (try to) port devede to QT :)
[08:30] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html

[08:49] <Chin1> i'm trying to install my nVIDIA Go 7950 GTX...
[08:50] <Chin1> I've tried the Synaptic, manually, etc... and I just can't.... what can i do?
[08:50] <icewaterman> Chin1: cross your fingers...
[08:50] <icewaterman> Chin1: nvidia graphics has nothing to do with touchpad though
[08:50] <Chin1> HELP PLEASE...>!!! i've trying for 6 days.. :(
[08:51] <Chin1> ???
[08:51] <Chin1> i'll really appreciate any help...!!!
[08:52] <arrrghhh> ok so super grub didn't even save it
[08:52] <jussi01> Chin1: ok, please calm down, and tell me exactly what you have done.
[08:52] <arrrghhh> i still get an error 15: file missing
[08:53] <icewaterman> Chin1: for your synaptics touchpad try to handle it as a normal ps2 device for starters. and for the nvidia graphics card: you rely on binary drivers from nvidia - bug them, noone here can help you. another approach is to try the nv driver (it is open source but offers no 3d acceleration).
[08:53] <arrrghhh> that was obnoxious
[08:54] <arrrghhh> anyone have any ideas?
[08:54] <arrrghhh> i figured supergrub could handle it, but no go.  same result.
[08:54] <jussi01> arrrghhh: whats the prob?
[08:55] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: same here.
[08:55] <Chin1> well, i fully installed the UBUNTU, after that the OS is runnign under the lowest Resolution, i guess from the Mother Board Video Card, not my actual video card...!!!
[08:55] <blaz> hi
[08:55] <jussi01> Chin1: are you running ubuntu or kubuntu?
[08:55] <icewaterman> Chin1: manually edit xorg.conf to include your graphics card. google for how to do that.
[08:55] <blaz> is this ok that kdebase-bin-kde3 will be removed after I have apt-get install kde4-core ?
[08:55] <icewaterman> Chin1: another hint: disable onboard graphics in systems bios.
[08:55] <Chin1> I RELOAD the Synaptic Package Manager to see if it would install the NEW/GOOD driver for my video card, and NOTHING..
[08:56] <JoshOvki> arrrghhh: apparently deleteing the   savedefault    line is ment to sort it out?
[08:56] <arrrghhh> uhm the kubuntu installer failed at the grub installation.  lilo wouldn't go either.  didn't give me an error just "i can't do this"  and now when i'm trying to install grub after everything else is already installed, i get the same error
[08:56] <arrrghhh> JoshOvki, deleting what savedefault?
[08:56] <JoshOvki> a line in your menu.lst
[08:56] <icewaterman> Chin1: you installed ubuntu - you are in the wrong channel, kubuntu does not use synaptic package manager, try #ubuntu instead
[08:57] <Chin1> after that went to nVIDIA, check their DRIVER for Linux 32, downloaded it, tryed to installed manually in the Terminal, using the SUDO...and it runs, but STOPS and gave me an error...!!!
[08:57] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: do an md5sum check on the iso you downloaded
[08:57] <Chin1> thats what i did...!!! After that I got stock...!!!
[08:57] <arrrghhh> icewaterman, already did, passes
[08:57] <JoshOvki> arrrghhh: i cant see how it can work. take a look at this:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439266
[08:58] <icewaterman> Chin1: -> #ubuntu
[08:58] <arrrghhh> so that's fstab i'm editing?
[08:58] <arrrghhh> lemme see
[08:59] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: did you choose some fancy filesystem for / ?
[08:59] <arrrghhh> ext3?
[08:59] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: ok, thats not fancy
[08:59] <icewaterman> should be fine
[08:59] <arrrghhh> is there a way to boot a rescue mode from the livecd?
[08:59] <arrrghhh> linux rescue or rescue don't work
[08:59] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: you could always try knoppix
[09:00] <arrrghhh> yea i think i have a cd sittin around here
[09:00] <arrrghhh> sheesh this is way more trouble than i've ever had with ubuntu
[09:00] <JoshOvki> install ubuntu and do     apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:06] <arrrghhh> i don't see how an fstab entry prevents supergrub from installing grub on my drive...
[09:11] <arrrghhh> uhm my /boot/grub directory is empty
[09:11] <arrrghhh> can i install grub on an installed o/s from knoppix?
[09:11] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: of course
[09:12] <arrrghhh> how?
[09:12] <icewaterman> knoppix comes with grub, so just look into the grub manual how to install it. you will of course get an old grub version this way, but it'll work and you can always replace it with the one from ubuntu later
[09:12] <arrrghhh> i couldn't install knoppix with supergrub
[09:12] <arrrghhh> dedr
[09:12] <arrrghhh> i couldn't install grub with supergrub
[09:12] <icewaterman> arrrghhh: -> google: grub install howto
[09:12] <arrrghhh> i'm tired
[09:13] <jussi01> !grub
[09:13] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:13] <jussi01> arrrghhh: just use the lost grub after windows tutorial
[09:13] <arrrghhh> that's not what happened but ok
[09:14] <jussi01> arrrghhh: I know, but its the same proceedure :)
[09:14] <arrrghhh> well i've tried that... and it doesn't work because my /boot/grub directory is empty
[09:14] <arrrghhh> and this assumes that there's something in there!
[09:15] <jussi01> arrrghhh: hmmm... there is a way to do it vi the live cd...
[09:15] <arrrghhh> grub-install looks promising
[09:23] <JoshOvki> arrrghhh any luck yet?
[09:24] <arrrghhh> well no

[09:31] <arrrghhh> ugh this is ridiculous
[09:33] <JoshOvki> arrrghhh if i was you i would pack trying to fix it in, install ubuntu and install kubuntu-desktop on top of that
[09:34] <arrrghhh> why would ubuntu install any better?
[09:35] <la> hy
[09:35] <JoshOvki> ive always had better luck install ubuntu than kubuntu
[09:35] <blaz> hi
[09:35] <la> could somebody give me some kubuntu optimization hacks?
[09:36] <la> or a link
[09:36] <blaz> I have installed kde4 and enabled desktop effects and now I get a black screen with visible cursor and thats all :/ Is there any option to disable dekstop effects ?
[09:37] <JoshOvki> blaz you need   #kubuntu-kde4
[09:38] <blaz> JoshOvki: thanks. Didnt know that
[09:38] <blaz> humm its in topic :P didnt see it :/
[09:39] <JoshOvki> blaz: no worries :)
[09:40] <la> hey, people, how could y make my kubuntu run faster?
[09:40] <la> global/individual programs, like firefox, openoffice
[09:51] <arrrghhh> so to change the root password, all i have to do is be root and type "passwd" at the prompt?  will that change it for the user login as well?'
[09:52] <llutz> arrrghhh: why should it?
[09:52] <arrrghhh> i have no idea
[09:52] <jussi01> arrrghhh: why are you trying to change root password? there should be no root password...
[09:52] <arrrghhh> all i know is i'm installing another ubuntu
[09:52] <arrrghhh> and i don't know what pw she wants
[09:52] <arrrghhh> so i know i'll need to change it later
[09:52] <hw> How can I get rid of this useless (for me) kwallet service? Everytime I send an email or start kopete this annoying kwallet passwd question pops up. kwalletmanager is already removed. I work on feisty...
[09:52] <la> how about recompiling the kernel?
[09:53] <arrrghhh> hw isn't there a way to opt to simply not use the kwallet service?
[09:53] <llutz> hw: stop that service in kwallet settings menu
[09:53] <jussi01> hw: just set the kwallet pw to nothing
[09:53] <la> i don't think that kwallet is the major resource eater in kubuntu
[09:53] <la> :-?
[09:53] <arrrghhh> so do i just type passwd at the prompt then without doing sudo -i?
[09:53] <la> other ideas?
[09:53] <jussi01> !kernel | la
[09:53] <ubotu> la: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[09:54] <blaz> is there any easy way how to install nvidia drivers ?
[09:54] <jussi01> !ati | blaz
[09:54] <ubotu> blaz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:54] <arrrghhh> blaz, restricted drivers manager
[09:54] <blaz> thanks
[09:55] <arrrghhh> so anyone?  how do i change a user's password?
[09:55] <llutz> type "passwd" and change it
[09:55] <arrrghhh> that's what i thought
[09:55] <arrrghhh> i don't need to sudo -i or anything
[09:55] <arrrghhh> or sudo su - or whatever
[09:56] <llutz> just do, don't ask
[09:56] <arrrghhh> ok that's the most retarded statment i've ever heard
[09:56] <llutz> read "man passwd"
[09:56] <arrrghhh> y'know i try to find out things about linux, but when you act like that... just disrespectful.
[10:01] <MaskedOne> any interesting questions tonight need answering?
[10:03] <llutz> MaskedOne: sure: why did the ubuntu-team again realease broken xorg-packages? :)
[10:04] <MaskedOne> I don't have any problems with them, what problems are you having?
[10:05] <llutz> none, but lots of other guys had after updateing xorg yesterday. puts a "bad light" on distro
[10:06] <doton> hey
[10:06] <MaskedOne> I haven't even seen updates lol, though im using Kubuntu not Ubuntu
[10:06] <MaskedOne> doton whats up?
[10:07] <ksweeley> Hello, I am new to Kubuntu and I have just installed the 64-bit version and I am trying to install Creative's 64-bit driver for my Sound Blaster X-Fi and I keep getting "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details." Can anyone help?
[10:08] <MaskedOne> Basically using a 64-bit OS is asking for trouble, untill the technology is more developed and the software as well
[10:08] <ksweeley> Well, Creative only has a 64 bit driver for Linux for the Sound Blaster X-Fi card.
[10:09] <ksweeley> I don't understand why Creative didn't release a 32-bit driver for Linux for the Sound Blaster X-Fi.
[10:10] <hw> Ok, now I have set "load-on-demand" of the kde wallet service to disabled and now kopete doesn't start anymore. Any ideas how to get rid of kwallet service and keep kopete working? =)
[10:11] <ksweeley> So, does anyone know why this error is popping up: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"?
[10:11] <llutz> MaskedOne: i was referring to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969    which doesn't matter if you use kubuntu or ubuntu. But be happy if you haven't had any trouble (it's fixed right now)
[10:11] <llutz> ksweeley: you need to install build-essential
[10:11] <ksweeley> And where can I install build-essential?
[10:12] <llutz> sudo aptitude install build-essential
[10:18] <ksweeley> Okay, just installed build-essential and tried installing the drivers again, now I'm getting "make: *** [copy_modules] Error 1 Installation Unsuccessful"
[10:19] <llutz> ksweeley: you used "sudo make install"?
[10:19] <ksweeley> No.
[10:20] <Creationist> This may not be a Linux-related question, but I have recieved a few threatening emails and posts to my blog by a certain IP address.  Nothing bad enough to go to the police with, but I'm sure it's someone that I know.  Running a WHOIS on the IP places them in my state, but is there any way to narrow it down any further than that?
[10:20] <ksweeley> Like I said, I am completely new to Kubuntu.
[10:20] <llutz> then use it, you need root-rights to install modules
[10:20] <llutz> ksweeley: what are you trying to install?
[10:21] <ksweeley> Drivers for my Sound Blaster X-Fi card.
[10:21] <llutz> is that that card with the worst linux-support of all? ;) good luck
[10:21] <ksweeley> I've extracted the files and included is a "installer" file.
[10:22] <llutz> ksweeley: there should be a readme-file aswell
[10:22] <dhq> how do i recover my partition
[10:22] <ksweeley> Yes, it's "Readme.txt"
[10:24] <blaz> how I should install nvidia restricted drivers in hardy ? In system settings, under advanced tab, there is no option for restricted drivers
[10:25] <ksweeley> Okay, interesting, I tried using "installer --with-alsainc=" and now the installer states "Installation Complete" Does this mean that if I reboot Kubuntu, sound should work?
[10:27] <ardchoille> blaz: Hardy support in #ubuntu+1
[10:27] <blaz> I just found it :) Thanks

[11:39] <|Quest|> will that do it?
[11:39] <ardchoille> |Quest|: For an app that can do that, I use gkrellm. It's a nice system monitoring app and there are some plugins in the repos for it too
[11:40] <ardchoille> |Quest|: And, it's skinnable :)
[11:41] <ardchoille> |Quest|: apt-cache search --names-only gkrellm

[11:43] <ardchoille> vijay_: Or, if you're using a gui app to edit it, it would require kdesudo

[12:16] <extremis> hi... I am a n00b and I need help getting kde4 to use the kwin effects like shadows/translucency/expose/etc and I am using vmware fusion and running the kubuntu kde4 livecd installed version of kubuntu.. none of the effects are working and I am curious what steps I have missed
[12:16] <extremis> all the effects are enabled in system settings -> display
[12:17] <extremis> I'm guessing that compiz isn't enabled... but I assumed that the livecd would install everything I needed
[12:17] <extremis> could someone lend me a hand please
[12:17] <|Quest|> how to make kubuntu installed into pendrive and that install would work for ALL hardware and ALL x86 other computers?
[12:17] <extremis> quest: I am assuming you install a generic kernel
[12:18] <extremis> you can't possibly support everything though
[12:18] <ardchoille> !kde4 | extremis

[12:18] <extremis> joining the proper channel
[12:18] <extremis> thanks
[12:29] <extremis> nobody is alive in kubuntu-kde
[12:29] <extremis> could someone help me with kde4?
[12:31] <ardchoille> extremis: If all the kde4 support takes place in #kubuntu-kde4, why do you think you have a better chance of support here?
[12:31] <extremis> I'm not convinced that everyone in here is running kde4
[12:31] <extremis> s/kde4/kde3
[12:32] <|Quest|> extremis whats the problem
[12:32] <extremis> I'm unfamiliar with the requirements of the livecd version of kubuntu/kde4 to enable the compiz like effects (translucency/shadows/expose/etc)
[12:32] <|Quest|> try #kde
[12:32] <extremis> by default it is lacking those features it seems
[12:33] <extremis> and the site setup doesn't include steps to enable those features... I have enabled them in system settings -> display with no results
[12:33] <extremis> so, I am assuming it is something simple like I am not running the right Xserve
[12:33] <extremis> or that my hardware just lacks the ability since I am running inside of vmware fusion
[12:34] <extremis> does the livecd, upon install, configure the Xserve to support those features?
[12:34] <extremis> or do I need to install a new Xserve, or install additional packages?
[12:36] <extremis> quest?
[12:37] <extremis> these questions are primarilly focused around the kubuntu/kde4 livecd recently released
[12:39] <extremis> well, I guess I am someone else's problem then... this channel isn't as friendly as expected
[12:40] <|Quest|> try #kde :)
[12:40] <extremis> they try to pass the buck just like you
[12:40] <extremis> they of course tell me to come here
[12:40] <|Quest|> you are just out of luck. nothing else is wrong
[12:40] <|Quest|> #kubuntu-offtopic ?
[12:40] <extremis> so you are telling me that it installs and enables everything I need by default?
[12:41] <|Quest|> iam new too
[12:41] <extremis> because I do know that the effects were disabled under the display settings, I am assuming that more needs to be configured
[12:41] <extremis> quest, ahhh... well that makes sense
[12:41] <extremis> the documentation on the livecd is pretty much nonexistent
[12:41] <extremis> "install the livecd" "good luck"
[12:44] <Richard_Balls> I'm having some serious problems with fglrx
[12:44] <Richard_Balls> is there any way I can switch the graphics driver I'm using without a restart

[13:52] <ardchoille> llutz: That tells me there are two diff commans for those
[13:52] <ardchoille> llutz: Ah, thank you
[13:52] <Richard_Balls> me too, _6502_
[13:55] <_6502_> Richard_Balls: so ? did you revert to a previous xorg or are you just waiting hoping someone will fix it in next few weeks ?
[13:55] <MGalaxy> any APPs except Alien to install .RMPs directly?
[13:56] <ardchoille> MGalaxy: You shouldn't install .rpm files at all, it can cause problems. Kubuntu uses .deb packages
[13:56] <ardchoille> !alien
[13:56] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

[13:57] <Richard_Balls> _6502_, praying
[13:58] <Richard_Balls> try #vlc, anyway
[13:58] <Richard_Balls> no
[13:58] <Richard_Balls> not #vlc, #videolan
[13:58] <MGalaxy> ardchoille: Alien almost always fails to convert RPMs
[13:58] <_6502_> richard eh... ok, i'll pray too then
[13:59] <ardchoille> MGalaxy: alien is dangerous anyway

[14:09] <michalo90> sudo apt-get install firefox
[14:09] <ardchoille> !flashissue | smeril
[14:09] <ubotu> smeril: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[14:09] <smeril> and efter that comand?
[14:10] <ardchoille> smeril: then nothing.. firefox should be installed

[14:39] <Richard_Balls> Jhq, where can you find drivers for your modem?

[14:40] <Richard_Balls> Jhq, can you find them online anywhere?
[14:41] <smeril> only news is that it says firefox is not installed but you can install it typing sudo apt-get install firefox
[14:41] <Jhq> Richard_Balls, i dont know
[14:42] <Jhq> devices name is AIRTEL edge modem
[14:42] <smeril> before i took it away it was saying that comando cant be found
[14:43] <smeril> it is just going back and forward
[14:44] <Lynoure> smeril: the latter after   sudo apt-get install firefox?  And you are on gutsy (7.10)?
[14:45] <smeril> i think so whats the vommand to check what version i have
[14:45] <smeril> comand
[14:45] <jckl> smeril: uname -r
[14:45] <jckl> erm thats kernel
[14:46] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ uname -r
[14:46] <smeril> 2.6.22-14-generic
[14:46] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[14:46] <jckl> gots the right kernel for 7.10 lol
[14:46] <smeril> ?
[14:47] <jckl> what gui are you using
[14:47] <smeril> i dont know
[14:47] <ardchoille> smeril: lsb_release | grep -i release
[14:48] <smeril> No LSB modules are available.
[14:48] <ardchoille> smeril: lsb_release -a | grep -i release
[14:48] <ardchoille> sorry
[14:48] <smeril> No LSB modules are available.
[14:48] <smeril> Release:        7.10
[14:48] <ardchoille> That's Gutsy
[14:49] <smeril> is there anything i can do or do i have to reinstall everything?
[14:50] <smeril> i mean if i have to change linux version
[14:50] <mefisto__> smeril: have you reinstalled firefox?
[14:50] <smeril> yes 2 times
[14:50] <Lynoure> smeril: it's a very exotic problem
[14:51] <ardchoille> smeril: Have you tried running firefox from a terminal to see if there's any error output?
[14:51] <mefisto__> smeril: try this: locate /usr/bin/firefox
[14:51] <smeril> nothing happends i just get a new line with no message
[14:51] <ardchoille> mefisto__: Hemight need to update the slocate database for that to be effective.
[14:51] <jckl> do whereis firefox and it will tell you them all
[14:52] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ locate /usr/bin/firefox
[14:52] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[14:52] <ardchoille> smeril: Try this: which firefox
[14:52] <mefisto__> ardchoille: he gets command not found
[14:52] <jckl> smeril: whereis firefox
[14:52] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ which firefox
[14:52] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[14:53] <smeril> is there a command for error check?
[14:53] <ardchoille> smeril: apt-cache policy firefox | grep -i installed
[14:53] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy firefox | grep -i installed
[14:53] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[14:54] <Lynoure> smeril: how experienced linux user are you? If that happened to me, I'd strace the process of installing firefox and saw what it really did...  seems almost hard to believe, this one
[14:54] <ardchoille> smeril: Ok, there is a problem because that last command I gave should have output something
[14:54] <smeril> I am not so experienced but there might be some problem with the linux copy i installed
[14:55] <ardchoille> either "installed <version>" or "installed (none)"
[14:55] <jel> anyone know how I go about building a kde4 app on hardy?  Like, with kde3, I just did ./configure --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3
[14:55] <jckl> i would think there was an error with the firefox install
[14:55] <ardchoille> !kde4 | jel
[14:55] <ubotu> jel: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[14:55] <jel> that doesn't help ubotu
[14:55] <ardchoille> jel: that last bit should tell you were you need to be
[14:56] <jel> Oh, the last part does, sorry :)
[14:56] <jel> thanks
[14:56] <ardchoille> yw
[14:56] <IanCal> hey all. Is there anything messed up with the standard package repositories atm?
[14:56] <coreymon77> jel: ubotu is a bot
[14:56] <ardchoille> IanCal: Not here
[14:56] <jel> yeah, I meant to address the person who commanded it :)
[14:57] <Lynoure> smeril: Where did you get your copy?
[14:57] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ installed <version>
[14:57] <smeril> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[14:57] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[14:57] <mefisto__> IanCal: can't update/install?
[14:57] <IanCal> ardchoille: thanks. I've been trying to install kubuntu 7.10 today, and that goes fine (both 64 and 32 bit)
[14:57] <smeril> from manchester university website
[14:57] <IanCal> then  it tells me there are updates, so I fire up adept, get the list and choose to install the 120 packages it has picked out
[14:58] <IanCal> they download fine, but then when installing them it complains that one or more will break another package and fails
[14:58] <ardchoille> smeril: no, the "apt-cache policy firefox" command I gave you should have at least output something, but it didn't. I feel yo have problems beyond the firefox issue atm
[14:58] <IanCal> then says there is a new version to upgrade to, 7.10 (which I'd installed), tries to upgrade to that and fails in exactly the same way
[14:59] <IanCal> this is going straight from install to upgrade, without changing or doing anything
[14:59] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy firefox
[14:59] <smeril> firefox:
[14:59] <smeril>   Installerad: <IP_ADDRESS>+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1
[14:59] <smeril>   Kandidat: <IP_ADDRESS>+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1

[14:59] <smeril> smeril@sm-laptop:~$
[15:00] <mefisto__> it should be version <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:00] <llutz> mefisto__: .6 is from cd
[15:01] <ardchoille> smeril: Ok, first of all use pastebin in the future. secondly, the first time I had you run that you said output was nothing
[15:01] <ardchoille> !pastebin > smeril
[15:01] <tekteen> IanCal: take the cd out of your sources.list
[15:01] <llutz> he
[15:01] <smeril> can i update without get new cd
[15:01] <llutz> ardchoille: output was empty, he has .se language Installerad != installed
[15:01] <jckl> install newer version of firefox
[15:01] <ardchoille> llutz: Ah, good catch that
[15:02] <IanCal> tekteen, thanks will try that. Why would that break things though? Surely it couldn't be finding updates on the cd, since they are all already installed
[15:02] <tekteen> IanCal: no idea
[15:02] <IanCal> *why would/how could (sorry)
[15:02] <IanCal> ah
[15:02] <IanCal> fair enough :)
[15:02] <tekteen> IanCal: I think it is because the cd is first
[15:03] <ardchoille> smeril: You are on Gutsy, but is this an upgrade from feisty?
[15:03] <IanCal> but the packages are the same version as the installed ones. Anyway, what's weirder to me is that it can detect that one package upgrade would break something else, but only AFTER it's downloaded 240 megs of files
[15:04] <smeril> whats the difference?
[15:04] <llutz> i guess he has installed from CD without network, so only CD is activated in sources.list
[15:04] <IanCal> seems like it's not checking the dependencies correctly
[15:05] <ardchoille> smeril: I am wondering how you ended up with firefox <IP_ADDRESS> if you just installed it on Gutsy, the current firefox in the repos for Gutsy is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:05] <smeril> is there a problem with that?
[15:06] <ardchoille> smeril: Is this an upgrade from feisty or did you try to manually install firefox from the firefox site or soemthing?
[15:06] <IanCal> anyone have a similar problem when they've done a fresh install before?
[15:07] <smeril> before i went here to irc i tried the website and diffrent comands from internet instructions
[15:07] <llutz> smeril: do you have unrestricted online-access? please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin
[15:07] <ardchoille> smeril: I thought so
[15:07] <llutz> !pastebin

[15:08] <mefisto__> IanCal: I had a similar problem, but that was upgrading from feisty to gutsy. apt-get dist-upgrade fixed it

[15:15] <smeril> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52610/
[15:15] <neopsyche> sometimes i have to click more than once to open a window from the task bar?
[15:15] <neopsyche> why?
[15:16] <ardchoille> !source-o-matic | smeril your sources list is bad, go here to regenerate a new one
[15:16] <ubotu> smeril your sources list is bad, go here to regenerate a new one: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[15:16] <ardchoille> smeril: disregard that
[15:16] <mefisto__> smeril: open the file, copy the text and paste it in pastebin
[15:16] <llutz> ardchoille: i don't think the file is broken, he just don't know how to paste it
[15:16] <ardchoille> llutz: yes, I saw that
[15:16] <Jhq> Richard_Balls, plz tel me how do i config that AIRTEL EDGE MODEM

[15:17] <alison> what are the system requirments to run kubuntu?
[15:17] <vivek> what is  compiz fusion??
[15:17] <ian__> hey, I was IanCal here a few mins ago. Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion of "apt-get dist-upgrade". Works fine now
[15:18] <tekteen> vivek: search it on youtube
[15:18] <tekteen> !youtube
[15:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:19] <smeril> does that help?
[15:19] <tekteen> lol
[15:19] <ian__> have no idea why adept wasn't able to sort the problem out, or present me with a better message than "Something has failed" and an exit. My only input to dist-upgrade was to say "install new version" which should have been done anyway by the updater
[15:20] <ian__> shame, because (k)ubuntu is supposed to be new user friendly. Not so friendly if doing recommended updates after installing fails and stops you from using apt until you know another command to run
[15:20] <llutz> smeril use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" from a console and try to make it looking like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52614/
[15:20] <ian__> anyway, thanks for the help :D
[15:21] <applehypnosis> alison: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements

[15:22] <mefisto__> smeril: your all sources are commented out. You can try uncommenting them yourself, or go to the source-o-matic site given a few minutes ago and create a new sources.list file
[15:23] <ian__> when using su/sudo/similar, how long do you stay logged in for?
[15:23] <jckl> ian did you build essentials?
[15:23] <llutz> smeril: change the "#" at the specific lines
[15:23] <vivek> how to install compiz fusion in Kubuntu 7.10
[15:23] <ardchoille> !compiz | vivek
[15:23] <ubotu> vivek: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[15:23] <llutz> smeril: or just save my paste and copy it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:24] <ian__> I haven't had to retype my password since I ran the updater a while ago, been able to change system settings and run kate with root permissions
[15:24] <mefisto__> smeril: remove the # AFTER every line that says Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify
[15:24] <ian__> jckl: All I did was install from cd, then run the updater. Then it failed :)
[15:24] <jckl> i couldnt compile anything at first
[15:25] <smeril> page cant be found
[15:25] <fannagoganna> hi, which KDE4 packages are in kubuntu -- kdenetwork, kdepim, etc.?
[15:25] <Richard_Balls> Jhq, I cannot help you, sorry
[15:25] <jckl> ian try sudo apt-get update
[15:25] <ian__> jckl: I didnt need to compile anything
[15:25] <ardchoille> fannagoganna: kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4
[15:25] <ian__> jckl: it's all fine now
[15:25] <ian__> thanks though
[15:26] <ian__> jckl: the fix was sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:26] <jckl> ian: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[15:26] <jckl> aw
[15:26] <jckl> ok
[15:26] <jckl> everything failed for me until i did those
[15:27] <ian__> I'm really quite concerned about this security problem though.
[15:27] <llutz> smeril: join #kubuntu-se and let the people there explain you what to do in swedish. i guess it's easier for all
[15:27] <smeril> lluts where is your paste
[15:27] <smeril> ?
[15:27] <llutz>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52614/
[15:28] <smeril> just tell me again how to acces the source list
