[12:32] <shannon> could someone tell me where to find a how-to on copying linux partitions?
[12:32] <inteliwasp_> how do i dissable the standby function on my laptop?
[12:32] <CVirus> shannon: on google ?
[12:32] <Xcalibur> mine had an asus bios, it was like a green ball, then, my other one had the original compaq bios

[12:33] <mx> ffmpeg doesnt seem to like recording an sdl app =(
[12:34] <Xcalibur> omg
[12:34] <Xcalibur> does anyone kn ow how to install grub
[12:34] <mx> i wish i did
[12:35] <LeeJunFan> Xcalibur: you mean to tell grub to install your MBR? or do you mean to get grub on your computer?
[12:35] <inteliwasp_> CVirus:  er... wrong program, but i found what i was looking for anyway
[12:35] <pointwood> what firewall gui is recommended to use? I can see guarddog and kmyfirewall?
[12:35] <LeeJunFan> Xcalibur: grub-install hd0 ?
[12:36] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: firewalls are for sissies, real men walk around with their pants down! :p
[12:36] <pointwood> hehe
[12:36] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: personally I've never used a firewall utility, just iptables at the command line.
[12:37] <stray77> Xcaliber, try the super grub disk ->http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/tiki-index.php
[12:37] <charims> hi everyone
[12:37] <charims> Charims is back!
[12:37] <pointwood> k
[12:37] <stray77> Super Grub Disk is a bootable floppy or cdrom oriented towards system rescue, and more specifically to boot and restore of boot.
[12:37] <pointwood> I'm no network expert
[12:38] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT && iptables -A INPUT -m state NEW,INVALID -j DROP
[12:38] <pointwood> and since this machine is currently directly connected to the net, I would gather it would be a good idea with some kind of FW :)
[12:38] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: that pretty much sums it up.
[12:38] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: man iptables - learn iptables, if you learn iptables you will be able to do wonderful things.
[12:39] <pointwood> LeeJunFan: yeah, it is a bit complex imho - I have seen it compared to pf and the syntax is much nicer IMHO
[12:39] <ravenous> firestarter is probably the most popular iptables frontend
[12:40] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: those commands I listed above will give you the same security as if you were behind a firewall router.
[12:40] <LeeJunFan> pointwood: of course if you want to open some ports you'll need more.
[12:42] <inteliwasp_> is there anythig i can do to make the audio quality better?
[12:43] <Xcalibur> on my computer i need grub!
[12:43] <ravenous> buy a better soundcard?
[12:43] <inteliwasp_> er... i'm on a budget and useing a laptop...
[12:44] <pointwood> LeeJunFan: yeah, I'm looking at guarddog ATM, looks pretty okay actaully :)
[12:44] <LeeJunFan> Xcalibur: pay attention - scroll up about 10 mins.
[12:44] <inteliwasp_> it just that a known good sound file play badly on this distro fror some reason
[12:45] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: what kind of soundfile?
[12:45] <LeeJunFan> wav?
[12:45] <inteliwasp_> mp3
[12:45] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: what are you using to play it?
[12:45] <inteliwasp_> havent tries the others yet
[12:45] <inteliwasp_> xmms
[12:45] <inteliwasp_> and amark
[12:45] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: personally haven't used xmms in a long time, amarok yes.
[12:46] <inteliwasp_> oh yea, kaffine plays bad too
[12:46] <pointwood> anyway, time to sleep for me - nite
[12:46] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: what's it sound like? choppy?
[12:46] <reddwolf78> does anyone know how i can get the active x file that i need for the winamp player
[12:47] <inteliwasp_> er... stacticly like it was xmitted poorly or too much compression
[12:47] <inteliwasp_> but the same files on my ipod play perfect
[12:49] <CharlieZero> Yeah maybe I'm an idiot, but should it be difficult to up my resolution above 1024 x 768 on Kubuntu 6?  I've never used Linux before today.
[12:49] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: open a konsole and type cat /proc/interrupts and pastebin the results, and gimme the link. Maybe an IRQ conflict?
[12:50] <mx> arg
[12:50] <mx> how do i make kde stop loading all the windows i had open last time i logged in?
[12:50] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: I've had times with IRC conflicts with sound and USB on the same channel and when I keep the mouse moving sound was smooth.
[12:50] <Martijn81> CharlieZero: should be easy with kcontrol as long as the xorg.conf config file has been configured nicely
[12:51] <mx> having 10 windows pop up with quit confirmations every time i have to ctrl+alt+backspace and log back in is getting a bit old
[12:51] <dennisharrison_A> hello hello
[12:51] <LeeJunFan> mx: alt-f2 kcontrol KDE Components->Session Manager->On Login
[12:52] <mx> LeeJunFan: thanks
[12:52] <CharlieZero> Martijn81: do i check using console?
[12:52] <mx> will it remember that if i ctrl+alt+backspace again?
[12:52] <dennisharrison_A> how can I remove a package from apt-get list so I can install stuff again?
[12:52] <LeeJunFan> mx: yes.
[12:52] <dennisharrison_A> E: The package gpar2 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
[12:52] <LeeJunFan> mx: as long as you hit ok/apply
[12:53] <mx> alright
[12:53] <LeeJunFan> mx: so if you have it set for open empty session it will not start a bunch of crap automatically.
[12:53] <mx> LeeJunFan: already done :p
[12:53] <CharlieZero> Martijn: Thanks - gotta go, though.
[12:55] <Martijn81> CharlieZero: you could check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look if your monitor is recognized nicely in "Section "Monitor", or you can just look in kcontrol and see if there's a higher resolution available
[12:55] <now3d> Could someone point me at how I can switch my default Kubuntu WWW browser from Konqueror to Firefox please?
[12:55] <dennisharrison_A> xrandr -s whatever also Martijn81

[12:56] <dennisharrison_A> E: The package gpar2 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
[12:56] <inteliwasp_> LeeJunFan:  opps wrong one
[12:56] <dennisharrison_A> I get this everytime I try to do anything with apt-get
[12:56] <LeeJunFan> now3d: alt-f2 "kcontrol" kde components->default applications
[12:56] <dennisharrison_A> how should I address this?
[12:56] <inteliwasp_> LeeJunFan:  http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/780197
[12:57] <mx> how do i kill kopete's urge to bother me about kwallet every time it's opened?
[12:57] <LeeJunFan> mx: configure kwallet with no password.
[12:57] <mx> >_>
[12:58] <Martijn81> mx: by configuring kopete to not save it
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> anyone here ever run into this problem?
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> sorry I am new to linux
[12:58] <Martijn81> mx: and using kde-pwmanager instead
[12:58] <mx> x_x
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> just trying to install python-setuptools
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> I get
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> E: The package gpar2 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
[12:58] <mx> i dont want a password manager lol
[12:58] <dennisharrison_A> when doing apt-get install python-setuptools
[12:58] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: so much for that hunch :( Your sound is all alone on it's interrupt.
[12:59] <LeeJunFan> inteliwasp_: there are some arts config things you might try - like running it in realtime prioroty, but in order to do that you must first "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/artswrapper" then restart arts.
[01:00] <now3d> LeeJunFan: Thanks for the tip. System Settings locked up.. going to log out and restart to see if that fixes it.
[01:00] <inteliwasp_> LeeJunFan:  arts? i'm using alsa...
[01:00] <LeeJunFan> arts talks to alsa.
[01:01] <LeeJunFan> kde apps use arts, to talk to your driver, which is alsa.
[01:01] <LeeJunFan> basically.
[01:02] <inteliwasp_> ok i did the chmod, how do i restart it?
[01:02] <LeeJunFan> dennisharrison_A: try dpkg -P gpar2
[01:03] <dennisharrison_A> says I should reinstall it because its in a very bad inconsistent state
[01:03] <dennisharrison_A> yay ;p
[01:04] <Martijn81> mx: AFAIK it's either pwmanager or kwallet if you want to save the passwd, safety first thing i guess

[01:25] <fnTc^spNk> hello
[01:25] <dennisharrison_A> yeah I figured they were small enough
[01:25] <dennisharrison_A> sorry
[01:25] <dennisharrison_A> let me try Admiral_Chicago
[01:25] <fnTc^spNk> can i ask a question?
[01:25] <charims> Hi everyone, i have an ongoing sound problem, but it seems to be getting better, i still need help though. All of my info is here, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22022               Note: the only things i can get to make sound are Gaim, and Amarok (though it freezes right after trying)
[01:25] <Admiral_Chicago> fnTc^spNk, ask
[01:25] <fnTc^spNk> ok
[01:26] <fnTc^spNk> i tried to install my nvidia drivers
[01:26] <dennisharrison_A> Admiral_Chicago, it gives me the same error as a dpkg purge
[01:26] <dennisharrison_A> I get errors when trying to install from the .deb
[01:26] <fnTc^spNk> but everytime i restart x, i get the error module nvidie not found
[01:26] <dennisharrison_A> telling me I need gnome desktop data
[01:26] <fnTc^spNk> nvidia*
[01:26] <dennisharrison_A> now I can't install or uninstall anything
[01:26] <Admiral_Chicago> dennisharrison_A, try doing a man dpkg
[01:26] <fnTc^spNk> then i need to edit the xorg.conf before i can start X again
[01:26] <Admiral_Chicago> or rather a dpkg -f
[01:26] <dennisharrison_A> Ademan, oh boy :( hehe all I want is to code some python ;p
[01:27] <Admiral_Chicago> fnTc^spNk, try editing you /etc/xorg.conf to nv
[01:27] <Admiral_Chicago> the driver
[01:27] <Admiral_Chicago> instead of nvidia.
[01:27] <fnTc^spNk> yeah i did
[01:27] <fnTc^spNk> but i have to set nvidia to get my drivers working?
[01:27] <Admiral_Chicago> no, nv is the open source version
[01:27] <fnTc^spNk> oh
[01:27] <Admiral_Chicago> it'll recongnize your card though
[01:28] <fnTc^spNk> well it doesnt say 7800GT
[01:28] <Admiral_Chicago> you probably have nvidia somewhere in the file
[01:28] <fnTc^spNk> it says nvidia card
[01:28] <fnTc^spNk> and i still cant play a game :(
[01:28] <fnTc^spNk> i get opengl error
[01:28] <fnTc^spNk> wich means problems with driver
[01:28] <Admiral_Chicago> fnTc^spNk, try "sudo dpkg-configure xserver-xorg"
[01:29] <fnTc^spNk> sudo: dpkg-configure: command not found
[01:29] <Admiral_Chicago> space the hypen
[01:29] <fnTc^spNk> ?
[01:29] <fnTc^spNk> hypen?
[01:29] <Admiral_Chicago> sorry i forget the command and spacking
[01:29] <Admiral_Chicago> hyphen
[01:30] <Admiral_Chicago> -  <-- that thing
[01:30] <Admiral_Chicago> fnTc^spNk, try "sudo dpkg -configure xserver-xorg"
[01:30] <fnTc^spNk> oh ok
[01:30] <fnTc^spNk> unknown option "o" ? :\
[01:30] <fnTc^spNk> -o*
[01:31] <Admiral_Chicago> hold on i forget the commandh
[01:32] <inteliwasp> how can i move filefolders as a superuser in the gui?
[01:32] <fnTc^spNk> well i wont run away :)
[01:32] <ubuntu> hi
[01:33] <now3d> you are lucky to get that nick
[01:33] <fnTc^spNk> :p
[01:34] <Admiral_Chicago>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:34] <now3d> Could someone tell me if it is possible to get Thunderbird to launch firefox instead of Konqueror please?  Also if it is posible for Firefox email links to launch thunderbird compose window please?
[01:34] <Admiral_Chicago> now3d, check the default browser
[01:34] <charims> Hi everyone, i have an ongoing sound problem, but it seems to be getting better, i still need help though. All of my info is here, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22022               Note: the only things i can get to make sound are Gaim, and Amarok (though it freezes right after trying) I have post on both the Kubuntu and Ubuntu forums, i have been dealing with this problem uopwards of a week.
[01:34] <Admiral_Chicago> system settings
[01:34] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: Yep, I have firefox as the default browser
[01:35] <Admiral_Chicago> now3d, that's the only thing i can think of
[01:36] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: Also i set thunderbird as the default email app there i think
[01:36] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: its all crashing now.. hope my hd isnt knacked.. i just reinstalled after the last one failed..
[01:36] <Admiral_Chicago> charims, i think you snd- is wrong
[01:36] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i set the DISPLAY parameter from terminal?
[01:36] <AZ_AS> argh....every time I try to open up a local theme for SuperKaramba, I get something about "the specified folder does not exist or was not readable"
[01:36] <Admiral_Chicago> now3d, that doesn't seem like it's related to your email issue
[01:36] <MetaMorfoziS> if i want to start an application frtom tty but on 0:0
[01:37] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm
[01:37] <charims> Admiral_chicago :really, for an Nvidia CK8, i'm using snd-Intel8x0 which i belive is correct...
[01:37] <AZ_AS> maybe I'm not cut out for Kubuntu
[01:37] <AZ_AS> or linux in general
[01:37] <Admiral_Chicago> AZ_AS, maybe you should roll back the SK version
[01:37] <dennisharrison_A> ok
[01:37] <Admiral_Chicago> and try that
[01:37] <dennisharrison_A> dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq asks me to supply an action item
[01:37] <AZ_AS> I don't know how to do that
[01:38] <now3d> I get an X error when on TTY when i run applications from there, do you guys see that too? firefox, xchat.. evertything..
[01:38] <AZ_AS> running Kubuntu in a virtual machine if that makes any difference
[01:38] <now3d> "Failed to open device, X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166"  etc etc
[01:38] <fnTc^spNk> ImPS/2 of explorerPS/2 what is the difference?
[01:38] <now3d>  Major opcode:  144, Minor opcode:  3
[01:38] <Admiral_Chicago> now3d, because you aren't supposed to launch them like that
[01:39] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: hmm, its never been a problem before... why is it any different from the Run command?
[01:39] <Admiral_Chicago> charims, sorry i thought there was an nvidia snd
[01:39] <Admiral_Chicago> now3d, there isn't
[01:39] <Admiral_Chicago> thats why there is one in the K menu
[01:39] <pascalFR> MetaMorfoziS: export DISPLAY=0:0
[01:40] <charims> Admiral_chicago: Its fine, thankyou
[01:40] <Admiral_Chicago> basically if you need to launch something, use the run command
[01:40] <MetaMorfoziS> thanx
[01:40] <Admiral_Chicago> but for terminal stuff, it can mess up the program iiirr
[01:40] <AZ_AS> how do I roll back the SK version?
[01:40] <Admiral_Chicago> uh hold on
[01:41] <archangel_> good evening foks
[01:41] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: do you know why it started showing up in latest kubuntu?
[01:41] <Admiral_Chicago> type man dpkg in the console
[01:41] <AZ_AS> I used Adept to install SK
[01:41] <dennisharrison_A> pl
[01:41] <dennisharrison_A> I mean ok
[01:42] <dennisharrison_A> man dpkg gives me some information
[01:42] <dennisharrison_A> it tells me to use dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq
[01:42] <archangel_> anybody really good here at fixing display res when everyting is "working correctly"?
[01:42] <dennisharrison_A> but that tells me it needs an action
[01:42] <archangel_> nobody has been able to fix it
[01:43] <archangel_> thinking I might have to reinstall
[01:43] <dennisharrison_A> xrandr -s 1280x1024 or similar archangel_  ?
[01:43] <geecko> hi i'm having trouble editting my kmenu, when i save my changes, they don't stick
[01:43] <Admiral_Chicago> AZ_AS, do an dpkg-configure superkaramba
[01:43] <now3d> Admiral_Chicago: ok, i found out why, for some reason they added a /dev/wacom InputDevice
[01:43] <archangel_> actually 1440x900 dennisharrison_A
[01:43] <Admiral_Chicago> thats odd
[01:43] <archangel_> (widescreen)
[01:43] <dennisharrison_A> ok and it doesn't work archangel_ ?
[01:44] <archangel_> no man, and I'm stuck
[01:44] <archangel_> no clue why
[01:44] <dennisharrison_A> what x server and what driver?

[01:45] <geecko> does anyone know where kmenu files are stored? i'm guessing it might be a file rights issue
[01:46] <kutan> Can someone help me with a precarious subject?
[01:46] <AZ_AS> ack, too late...reverted to a snapshot in VMWare

[01:46] <archangel_> when the pc rebooted.........640x480 and no other option
[01:47] <charims> haha, archangel_ you have been dealing with that problem for i while, huh, i remeber you from another day...
[01:47] <[matrix] > hello
[01:47] <[matrix] > all
[01:47] <[matrix] > kubuntu people
[01:47] <archangel_> dude no one can fix it charims
[01:47] <archangel_> lol it sucks
[01:47] <archangel_> I have the biggest icons on the planet
[01:48] <charims> yeah, same here with ym sound

[01:48] <[matrix] > hey guys
[01:48] <MetaMorfoziS> i have this, please help me
[01:48] <MetaMorfoziS> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22101
[01:48] <[matrix] > can i ask somthig
[01:48] <geecko> archangel_: you've tried doing dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server?
[01:48] <charims> Archangel_ everyone overat the ubuntu channel got all hyped up becuase i asked my question a second time after about 10 minutes... haha then they said go here, where noone seems to be able to help me either.
[01:48] <[matrix] > can u tell me a good firewall
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> you just did. :P
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> care to ask somthing else? :P
[01:49] <archangel_> yes geecko
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> Linux has its own firewalling features built in.
[01:49] <[matrix] > no another one
[01:49] <geecko> that's all i got :\
[01:49] <dennisharrison_A> iptable
[01:49] <[matrix] > i used guardog
[01:49] <dennisharrison_A> or you can use .. uhmm
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> you mean an alternative firewall to the one built in?
[01:49] <dennisharrison_A> firesomething
[01:49] <archangel_> thanks dude  geecko
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> Guarddog is JUST a front end to the iptables/linux firewall
[01:49] <dennisharrison_A> firestarter right?
[01:49] <[matrix] > yup Dr_Willis
[01:49] <AZ_AS> anyone ever feel so frustrated when they were starting out with Kubuntu that they wanted to beat up their computer?
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> as is firestarter
[01:49] <archangel_> what do you think? dennisharrison_A
[01:49] <mx> is there a way to make progs like konversation and kopete automatically use the colors specified by kde?
[01:50] <fnTc^spNk> hmm
[01:50] <fnTc^spNk> Admiral_Chicago: it still doesnt work
[01:50] <[matrix] > firestarter?
[01:50] <[matrix] > it's ok
[01:50] <fnTc^spNk> nvidia kernel not found or something
[01:50] <charims> Finally, someone in Ubuntu gave me something to do...
[01:50] <charims> even if it probably won't work
[01:50] <archangel_> lol
[01:50] <poseidon> How can I scan something using SANE?
[01:50] <Dr_Willis> http://www.seifried.org/security/index.php/Linux_Firewalling_Overview
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> firestarter and guarddog are front ends that just make the proper iptables rules
[01:51] <archangel_> Gwenview used my scanner with NO setup, it just worked
[01:52] <dennisharrison_A> archangel_, all I can tell you is that its the xserver settings
[01:52] <h3sp4wn> ipkungfu I would prefer to firestarted or guarddog
[01:52] <dennisharrison_A> I doubt its in the driver
[01:52] <dennisharrison_A> but if you have had the problem for a few days I am going to guess you tried to configure xserver-xorg
[01:52] <archangel_> how would it screwup by a hard reset?
[01:52] <[matrix] > sory can we talk here about p2p prog  so i can say why i need a firewall
[01:53] <dennisharrison_A> and you have tried reverting to vesa drivers to see if you can get your resolution back
[01:53] <archangel_> hey, no I didnt do that
[01:53] <[matrix] > so? can i?
[01:54] <fnTc^spNk> Admiral_Chicago: u still there? :C
[01:55] <MetaMorfoziS> please help me about this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22101
[02:00] <archangel_> hey how do I select vesa driver over my nvidia driver?
[02:00] <archangel_> it would let me do it in systen settings
[02:00] <archangel_> I mean wouldnt let me
[02:00] <satempler> how do I enable Zeroconfig

[02:04] <archangel_> nope
[02:04] <h3sp4wn> now3d: edit prefs.js
[02:04] <archangel_> it goes to konquror
[02:05] <now3d> h3sp4wn: think you're going to have to give me more clues than that. I alredy edited my prefs.js ther isnt anyting about mailto there
[02:06] <archangel_>  hey how do I select vesa driver over my nvidia driver?
[02:07] <now3d> archanglel_: change "nv" to "vesa" in xorg.conf
[02:07] <host-one> hi guys
[02:07] <now3d> hullo!
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> :)
[02:07] <dennisharrison_A> http://pastebin.com/780242
[02:07] <charims> hullo!
[02:07] <dennisharrison_A> can someone take a look at that
[02:08] <dennisharrison_A> I tried to go to #debian with it but they referred me here
[02:08] <archangel_> what is the command?
[02:08] <h3sp4wn> now3d: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/opt/firefox/firefox"); (whilst thunderbird is closed or it will overwrite it)
[02:08] <host-one> do you have a repository list for (k)ubuntu? please help me
[02:08] <h3sp4wn> now3d: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/opt/firefox/firefox"); (also if you need it)
[02:08] <h3sp4wn> now3d: adjust the paths to suit
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> dennisharrison_A,  perhaps summerize the problem?
[02:08] <dennisharrison_A> ok
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> !easysource
[02:08] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:09] <host-one> thx
[02:09] <dennisharrison_A> whenever I use apt-get to install or remove anything I get stopped at E: The package gpar2 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
[02:09] <dennisharrison_A> and dpkg - P gpar2 gives me
[02:10] <now3d> h3sp4wn: echelente! thanks
[02:10] <dennisharrison_A> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[02:11] <dennisharrison_A> and the pastebin link I just posted shows what happens when I run dpkg -f install
[02:11] <dennisharrison_A> and what happens when I try to reinstall gpar2 using the .deb
[02:11] <dennisharrison_A> so
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> !info gpar2
[02:11] <ubotu> Package gpar2 does not exist in any distro I know
[02:12] <dennisharrison_A> its not in the repositories
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. where did gpar2 even come from? :P
[02:12] <dennisharrison_A> I just want to nuke it
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> you should be able to remove it. with --force perhaps
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> !apt-get
[02:12] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[02:12] <dennisharrison_A> its a utility to combine par files with missing chunks of archives
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> that url has a link to the main apt-get book.
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> that details some cases what todo when things break like that.  Ive rarely had to --force things
[02:13] <dennisharrison_A> oh and when I try dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq
[02:13] <dennisharrison_A> I get dpkg: need an action option
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> the #ubuntu guys can proberly help ya better. my apt-get fuu is not that good.
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> thats saying your command line is wrong. :P
[02:13] <dennisharrison_A> haha I know
[02:14] <dennisharrison_A> but its what man dpkg tells me
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> dpkg --force-remove remove or somthing.
[02:14] <dennisharrison_A> lemme try
[02:14] <h3sp4wn> dennisharrison_A: dpkg -force-remove-reinstreq
[02:15] <fnTc^spNk> so uhm, anyone knows anything else? (installing nvidia drivers :r)
[02:15] <dennisharrison_A> thanks h3sp4wn
[02:15] <dennisharrison_A> now I get dpkg: unknown option -o
[02:15] <dennisharrison_A> hehe, this is the best ever
[02:16] <h3sp4wn> dennisharrison_A: dpkg dpkg -r remove-reinstreq
[02:17] <h3sp4wn> (I have to work it out everytime I need to use it which is pretty infrequently)
[02:17] <dennisharrison_A> dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove remove-reinstreq which isn't installed
[02:17] <dennisharrison_A> hehe I think you have me pretty darn close my man ;p
[02:18] <h3sp4wn> dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq
[02:19] <dennisharrison_A> ok ...
[02:19] <dennisharrison_A> maybe that was it
[02:19] <dennisharrison_A> lets see
[02:19] <h3sp4wn> (I just actually tested it and that worked for me)
[02:20] <dennisharrison_A> god ...
[02:20] <dennisharrison_A> nope
[02:20] <dennisharrison_A> gave me an error with gpar2
[02:20] <dennisharrison_A> still the same thing
[02:20] <dennisharrison_A> subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
[02:21] <h3sp4wn> /var/lib/dpkg/info/gpar2.postrm (have a look at that attempt to see what it is trying to do - if that doesn't work then just make sure it exit 0; s)
[02:23] <dennisharrison_A> nothing there
[02:23] <dennisharrison_A> blank file
[02:23] <dennisharrison_A> nm
[02:23] <dennisharrison_A> forgot info
[02:23] <h3sp4wn> (that may not be the exact name of it)
[02:23] <dennisharrison_A> there is no ; at the end of exit 0
[02:24] <h3sp4wn> But does the file exist ?
[02:24] <dennisharrison_A> yep
[02:24] <dennisharrison_A> this is the command the system freaks out over
[02:24] <dennisharrison_A> update-desktop-database
[02:24] <dennisharrison_A> thats line 25 in the file
[02:24] <h3sp4wn> It shouldn't have the ; I am getting confused
[02:25] <dennisharrison_A> ok
[02:25] <dennisharrison_A> well thats cool because its not getting past line 25
[02:25] <dennisharrison_A> /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: line 25: update-desktop-database: command not found
[02:26] <charims> Anyone here who is familiar with aadebug and can take a look at my outputs? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22104 at the bottom
[02:26] <now3d> h3sp4wn: thanks for those thunderbird http/s handers, is tehre a way I can get firefox to pass on mailto links to thunderbird too?

[02:31] <h3sp4wn> now3d: I have never done that
[02:31] <now3d> Marikta: looks liek corpption

[02:32] <aliasfred> is there a linux tool to uncompress bin format ?
[02:32] <dennisharrison_A> rock on man thanks
[02:33] <now3d> h3sp4wn: btw, firefox doesnt popup when i click the http:// links.. it just appears as a tab behind thunderbird
[02:33] <now3d> h3sp4wn: is there a way to get it to bring the window to the fore?
[02:33] <dennisharrison_A> woot
[02:34] <dennisharrison_A> h3sp4wn, you really fixed my whole night man
[02:34] <charims> Anyone here who is familiar with aadebug and can take a look at my outputs? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22104 at the bottom

[02:34] <dennisharrison_A> hehe rest up then bro ;p
[02:34] <dennisharrison_A> stop by #plone sometime
[02:35] <h3sp4wn> now3d: Select new tabs opened by links (try setting that in firefox)
[02:35] <h3sp4wn> dennisharrison_A: what is #plone ?
[02:35] <dennisharrison_A> http://www.plone.org
[02:35] <dennisharrison_A> based on http://www.zope.org
[02:35] <dennisharrison_A> similar to drupal
[02:35] <dennisharrison_A> but better in my opinion
[02:35] <kbrooks> plone is written in python
[02:36] <fnTc^spNk> nvidia X driver not found
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> you can write python apps for the web using argoUML
[02:36] <fnTc^spNk> liek wtf
[02:36] <h3sp4wn> yuck python
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> yeah plone is written in python
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> yuck?
[02:36] <kbrooks> h3sp4wn, .....
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> hehe
[02:36] <h3sp4wn> perl is much less typing :D
[02:36] <kbrooks> h3sp4wn, no ad hominem attacks please
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> oh but perl hurts my face
[02:36] <dennisharrison_A> man try out plone
[02:37] <dennisharrison_A> you will like it I bet if you like perl being easier then python ;p
[02:37] <crimsun> charims: I need amixer output, too.
[02:37] <kbrooks> h3sp4wn, you're not being civil.
[02:37] <dennisharrison_A> kbrooks, wtf are you talking about?

[03:41] <charims> crimsun: don't think its hardware, no problems in windows
[03:41] <crimsun> charims: difficult to say right off. I'd start by rebooting from a live cd and running the memory test.

[03:44] <RaydenUni> and i just updated to dapper drake and it wanted to overwrite the imwheel config file and i told it not to because i thought i needed those settings
[03:44] <RaydenUni> but it didn't work so now i'm trying to find the original settings
[03:45] <RaydenUni> i guess i do'nt need imwheel
[03:45] <RaydenUni> i just want my back button to work
[03:45] <RaydenUni> i got the wheel to work
[03:45] <Khalek2> lol

[03:46] <[matrix] > wirreles
[03:46] <[matrix] > conected with a fiber
[03:46] <Khalek2> I think what hes saying is the mythical fiber is connected into a long range router which sends the signal into his house.
[03:47] <nagyv_> if I click on an mp3 file in Firefox then Kaffeine opens instead of amarok. How can I change this behavior?
[03:47] <Ash-Fox> No, I think he means the radio waves are hitting a fiber.
[03:47] <[matrix] > configure amarok
[03:47] <RaydenUni> so no one knows how to get extra buttons working in kubuntu?
[03:47] <[matrix] > to opne mp3
[03:48] <[matrix] > just go to an mp3 file and open with it
[03:48] <[matrix] > hmmm
[03:48] <Ash-Fox> RaydenUni, I believe there is some method todo it in the xserver configuration.

[03:58] <Ash-Fox> nagyv_, edit -> preferences -> downloads -> view & edit actions. You're better off using konqueror though.. Also you can do some messy hack that lets you use kde file choosers and kde's dcop for executing files...

[03:59] <somekool> but FAT32 are not a problem,....
[03:59] <Ash-Fox> Hobbsee, what is?
[03:59] <NickGarvey> what is a "theme" file?
[03:59] <nagyv_> the problem with konqueror is that is doesn't has the same set of extensions as Firefox does
[03:59] <somekool> Hobbsee: so, basically NTFS support is built-in in kubuntu LiveDVD kernel?
[04:00] <douglas> not I am consiguindo to hear musicas?
[04:00] <Ash-Fox> NickGarvey, open a console, cd to the path where the file is, and do a 'file <filename>'.
[04:00] <Hobbsee> somekool: read support, not write.
[04:00] <somekool> right
[04:00] <nagyv_> Ash-Fox: could you point me to a howto to change to kde's dcop in firefox?
[04:00] <NickGarvey> Ash-Fox: I downloaded a theme off kde-look.org, it a tar.gz, but I don't know what I do with that, I uncompressed it, but now what?
[04:00] <Hobbsee> Ash-Fox: actually, there are vague plans to make a firefox-kde package or something

[04:09] <ubotu> Install gnome-themes (gnome) or go to menu, system settings, appearance (KDE).  For a good KDE guide, see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1255036&postcount=3
[04:09] <Hobbsee> bingo
[04:09] <Hobbsee> eds01: disable kdm?
[04:09] <eds01> how?  i'm a bit of a newb, so...
[04:10] <Jucato> Hobbsee: lol! thanks. I'm not sure if it's a "good" one. (but seriously, KDE-Look needs a bit of organization and a guide...)
[04:10] <Hobbsee> Jucato: true that
[04:10] <Hobbsee> Jucato: it looked okay from my small eyeballing of it :P
[04:10] <Jucato> ehehe thanks!
[04:11] <AZ_AS> there a way to tell Konqueror where to download files? I'm trying to find it but I don't see it yet in the Konqueror Configure options
[04:12] <InuDuelist> Is there any way to change the color of the text on the taskbar?
[04:12] <Hobbsee> AZ_AS: i would *think* that they're there
[04:12] <InuDuelist> It's really starting to strain my eyes.
[04:12] <AZ_AS> same here, Hobbsee but no luck in finding it yet
[04:12] <Hobbsee> InuDuelist: system settings, appearances, colours.
[04:12] <Hobbsee> InuDuelist: you can change almost anything you like there
[04:12] <Jucato> InuDuelist: I think the task bar text uses the color from the Button Text in System Settings
[04:12] <Ash-Fox> By the way, is it a mistake that kcontrol isn't linked from anywhere on the menu?
[04:13] <InuDuelist> No.
[04:13] <Hobbsee> Ash-Fox: no, duplicated by system settings
[04:13] <InuDuelist> (K)Ubuntu comes with a more user-friendly type of control center.
[04:14] <Hobbsee> Jucato: you should see the edgy one :)
[04:14] <Jucato> Hobbsee: yeah! I'm looking forward to i
[04:14] <Jucato> s/i/it
[04:15] <Ash-Fox> Hobbsee, hm, I'm pretty sure some settings in kcontrol aren't accessible in system settings.
[04:15] <InuDuelist> Jucato, which one's for the active windows?
[04:15] <Hobbsee> Ash-Fox: yes, true that.
[04:15] <Hobbsee> Ash-Fox: hence "more user friendly"
[04:15] <Jucato> but for now... I'm sticking to KControl for a bit... hoping that a System Settings bug is fixed in KDE...
[04:15] <Hobbsee> supposedly
[04:15] <Hobbsee> Ash-Fox: edgy's much better :)
[04:16] <Hobbsee> Jucato: which one?
[04:17] <Jucato> Hobbsee: Regional and Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts > swithching from Shortcut Schemes tab to Command Shortcuts tab crashes it
[04:17] <InuDuelist> Feck it.
[04:17] <Hobbsee> Jucato: ahh yes, i remember that one.  the one i could never reproduce.
[04:17] <romeo> hello can someone give me a good repo to add to adept i m mostly looking for multimedia codecs and mplayer i also want to play commercial dvds .i have kubuntu 6.06 llts
[04:18] <Hobbsee> Jucato: they've changed the names around
[04:18] <Hobbsee> !repos
[04:18] <InuDuelist> Grr.

[04:18] <InuDuelist> I think I'm just going to use Konquerer from now on.
[04:18] <InuDuelist> Too bad it's inferior.
[04:18] <eds01> so how do i disable kdm?
[04:19] <Hobbsee> eds01: probably try googling that - i dont remember
[04:19] <romeo> !restricted hobsee?
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about restricted hobsee? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <Jucato> Hobbsee: they have???
[04:19] <romeo> ok
[04:20] <Hobbsee> Jucato: system settigns got a lot of changes to it
[04:20] <Jucato> kool!
[04:20] <Hobbsee> Jucato: they're still changing bits
[04:20] <Hobbsee> well, not in the next couple of days, but after that we can :)
[04:20] <Jucato> you know what would be even better? If it could get a sort of KControlEdit equivalent!
[04:20] <Hobbsee> Jucato: kcontroledit?
[04:20] <Jucato> Hobbsee: yep
[04:21] <Jucato> haven't tried that one yet?
[04:21] <Jucato> KControlEdit is the KMenuEdit of KControl
[04:22] <moj0rising> hello, everyone. I have a very ugly question to ask.. hopefully I don't get kicked...
[04:22] <moj0rising> ...my current workplace is using AD.  I do not know how to do some simple administration things...
[04:22] <flaccid> ne1 here use vpnc ?
[04:23] <moj0rising> ...like creating login scripts such that people get drive letters pointing to various shared on a network...
[04:23] <Hobbsee> Jucato: point.  that entire module isnt in, for some reason
[04:23] <moj0rising> any one know where I can get this info in a quick easy to digest manner?
[04:24] <moj0rising> Sorry. I know it is an unrelated topic.
[04:24] <CheeseBurgerMan> moj0rising: I'd love to help, but I'm not even sure what you mean by "AD". :\
[04:24] <moj0rising> but this was the best place I could think of to ask around. I have checked ms web site.
[04:25] <moj0rising> AD = active directory
[04:25] <moj0rising> ha
[04:25] <Jucato> Hobbsee: no. it's not a KControl module. KControlEdit is a separate program for editing the contents/organization of KControl.
[04:25] <Hobbsee> Jucato: true that.  system settings is missing the module in kcontrol about it though
[04:25] <Jucato> oh
[04:27] <Jucato> I would find it extremely nice if you could hide some of the stuff you don't commonly use in System Settings... (I have lots of those)
[04:28] <Hobbsee> Jucato: that's what's been done.
[04:29] <Jucato> kool!!
[04:29] <Jucato> will those changes be available in Knot 2?
[04:29] <Hobbsee> most of them
[04:29] <Hobbsee> i think there are colour changes that arent
[04:29] <Hobbsee> Jucato: it's still very much a WIP
[04:31] <Jucato> still, something to look forward to. After seeing YaST and drakconf, System Settings has become one of the things I want to become better
[04:33] <revrogue> hello
[04:33] <revrogue> anyone interested in giving a linux newb a hand :)
[04:34] <Jucato> I'd be happy to give you an arm as well if I could :-D
[04:36] <revrogue> lol
[04:36] <charims> crimsun: Are you back from AFK?
[04:36] <Jucato>  *** aseigo_boink is now known as aseigo. ... boink.... :-D
[04:37] <revrogue> have a small prob with my wireless ad I am usng dapper 6.06
[04:37] <LeeJunFan> just spit it out.

[04:38] <LeeJunFan> no need for foreplay.

[04:38] <revrogue> bah...
[04:38] <charims> Hey, jucato, u have time to look at my sound systme again? i have a lot more info now...
[04:39] <revrogue> how about changing drivers or such
[04:40] <atkaazm> hi, can someone tell me how to make the cursor skip words while writting a command on console? Ctrl+Left, Ctrl+Right doesn't work
[04:40] <aseigo> Jucato: yeah ... it's my alternanick
[04:40] <Jucato> heheh
[04:45] <charims> can someone look at my dmesg and help me with my sound system? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22109 I also have this info here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22105
[04:46] <charims> I was told to run a memory test by Crimsun, but it came up with no errors. It checked two times.
[04:46] <Jucato> rawr! sorry charims... when it comes to hardware stuff... I'm a noob...
[04:46] <charims> ok, haha, its good, anyone else, please ;)
[04:47] <charims> man, with all this info i have, im going to post a bug report here soon, haha, there is a lot here....
[04:47] <Ozelot_3> noob too
[04:47] <Jucato> charims: no luck with the forums?
[04:48] <Ozelot_3> or groups?
[04:48] <charims> Jucato: none at all, not a reply, neither kubuntu or ubuntu, not even, "I have no idea" replies...
[04:48] <Hobbsee> you're looking for crimsun
[04:48] <Hobbsee> with sound
[04:48] <charims> yeah, well, he was heloping me eralier, but he is AFK ATM
[04:48] <Jucato> charims: what section did you post it in ubuntuforums?
[04:48] <charims> Video and sound
[04:48] <charims> under Dapper
[04:49] <charims> and Hardware, under Dapper in kubuntu
[04:49] <charims> thats obsolete now, all of my info is on paste, but still the general problem
[04:49] <Jucato> charims: try posting it some other section... lol
[04:49] <charims> wow, hehe, thats evil
[04:49] <charims> :)
[04:49] <Hobbsee> charims: what's the problem?  sound doesnt work?
[04:49] <Jucato> with a high traffic site like ubuntuforums... it's only natural that few people would take notice...
[04:50] <charims> well, yes, no sound except from gaim
[04:50] <Hobbsee> ooh, lovely
[04:50] <charims> but Crimsun helped me get a startup sound to kinda work from terminal
[04:51] <charims> it sounds like a heartbeat though, jsut plays once, but it is supposed to reapeat every 30 seconds
[04:51] <charims> ...
[04:51] <Hobbsee> charims: no idea.  crimsun should though.  he's the expert on it
[04:51] <charims> so, yeah, thats when he asked for dmesg and for me to do some modprobe thing, it was complex...
[04:52] <charims> ok, well, thats good, at least i know someone realible is helping me at this, this problem has been going on for a week
[04:52] <charims> i will remember to thank him
[04:53] <charims> I remember in Breezy Ubuntu i got it to work after much frustration, and on this computer too, then i got rid of ubuntu, i didn't like it much at the time, felt dumb when i started it, still do kinda...
[04:56] <driz> !edgy
[04:56] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[04:57] <charims> yup, well, i'm sticking with kubuntu, even if i have to get a new sound card :(
[04:58] <charims> Crimsun: hey bud, u back yet?
[04:58] <charims> jsut checking...
[04:59] <charims> hey, whatd do you prefer, Kopete or Gaim?
[05:00] <Jucato> rawr Kopete
[05:00] <driz> hi i have a problem i have an old computer with 8GB should I move to Xubuntu
[05:00] <driz> ?
[05:00] <driz> Gaim!
[05:00] <charims> why do you prefer these?
[05:01] <Jucato> driz: what's the processor speed and how much RAM? hard disk size isn't the main consideration for choosing Xubuntu
[05:01] <charims> maybe i should jsut try kopete out and see if i like it
[05:01] <driz> how do i check the ram :-P
[05:02] <Jucato> Kopete because of it's integration with KDE and Kontact. because of the popup notifications in the system tray
[05:02] <AZ_AS> Jucato, where's your avatar from the Kubuntu forums from? it's cute
[05:03] <Jucato> AZ_AS: ehehe! thanks! I made it myself
[05:03] <AZ_AS> nice! :)
[05:03] <charims> Driz: put in your live cd at startup and run the memory test
[05:04] <charims> DON"T INSTALL :p
[05:04] <driz> oh come on do you know how long that would take
[05:04] <Jucato> driz: or ou can type in "free" in Konsole
[05:04] <Jucato> it will output Mem Total in bytes
[05:04] <charims> oh, i thought you meant check if the ram is working properly, nevermind....
[05:04] <charims> :(
[05:05] <madman__> does any one know where the Screensaver images are stored ?
[05:06] <driz> how can i make it so i can understand it
[05:06] <driz> ?
[05:06] <driz> on konsole
[05:06] <Jucato> driz: "free -m" to display output in MB
[05:06] <driz> cool thanks
[05:06] <flaccid> i'm mounting a fat drive with uid=1000, but it is is doing this to each file drwxr-xr-x 42 500 root   32768 2006-07-17 17:32 personal
[05:07] <flaccid> ie. 500.root
[05:07] <Jucato> the number  under "total" on the Mem: line is the amount of RAM you have
[05:07] <flaccid> why is that
[05:07] <charims> hmm, i kinda like kopete better so far...
[05:07] <flaccid> !mount
[05:07] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[05:08] <driz> oh man thats small
[05:08] <Jucato> driz: how much?
[05:08] <charims> what a samrt bot
[05:08] <charims> smart*
[05:08] <Jucato> !fstab
[05:08] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[05:08] <madman__> !Screensaver
[05:08] <driz> Jucato 122
[05:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Screensaver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:08] <flaccid> hmm can anyone help me with my problem
[05:08] <Jucato> driz: err.. yeah.. better go with Xubuntu...
[05:09] <driz> let me apt get it now
[05:10] <Breetai> Help! My notification area, (where the iocns go in the tray) is missing. How do I get it back in 6.06????
[05:10] <charims> ok guys, im going to switch to irc though kopete, i want to see this
[05:10] <charims> :)
[05:10] <Jucato> charims: good luck...
[05:10] <Hobbsee> Breetai: type "kicker"?
[05:10] <danny500> yo
[05:10] <Hobbsee> Breetai: er, alt+f2, kicker?
[05:10] <danny500> I got one question
[05:10] <Jucato> err...
[05:11] <danny500> will serious sam sp work on wine windows emulator?
[05:11] <Breetai> No, the kicker is there, but if  amarok is minimuzied it can not be seen, and klipper is running but not seen
[05:11] <Jucato> Breetai: right-click on the Panel, choose Add Applet to Panel, then look for System Tray and add it..
[05:11] <flaccid> mount returns /dev/hda2 on /mnt/flaccid type vfat (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000) yet, the mask on each file is 500.root (not flaccid.flaccid) why is this?
[05:11] <danny500> no will ever know
[05:12] <Breetai> Jucato: You rock!! Thanks alot
[05:12] <driz> jucato: sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop is not working
[05:12] <Jucato> driz: would it be possible for you to get hold of a Xubuntu installer?
[05:12] <Jucato> adding Xubuntu on top of Kubuntu/Ubuntu would hurt what hard disk space you have left...
[05:13] <driz> ya i think i can download it at work and burn it
[05:13] <charims> how do i change my nickname, mes forgot
[05:13] <driz> but i will loose all my files
[05:13] <charims89> nevermind
[05:13] <Jucato> driz: oh...
[05:14] <driz> ha i am a year older than youcharims
[05:14] <CheeseBurgerMan> driz: To remove k/ubuntu desktop, you can have a look here: http://robotgeek.org/wiki/ShellScripts/CleanPackage
[05:16] <driz> CheeseBurgerMan: i dont like to do things i dont understand
[05:17] <CheeseBurgerMan> driz: OK, fair enough. :)
[05:17] <Jucato> driz: is this a new installation of Kubuntu?
[05:18] <driz> no been having this for a while now.
[05:18] <driz> since it came out.
[05:18] <Jucato> aaah
[05:19] <charims89> Crimsun: hey bud, u back yet, no rush, jsut checking...
[05:20] <driz> Jucato it runs ok, but i just want a new computer or the illusion of one.
[05:20] <charims> wow, this is cool....
[05:20] <charims> im running to clients at the same time, exiting konversation... now
[05:20] <charims> by charims 89, hehe
[05:21] <Jucato> charims: ehehe! I would still prefer Konversation, for some reasons...
[05:21] <charims>  :-)
[05:22] <charims> idk, i like this thing, but its going to take getting used to... did the nickerv identify me?
[05:22] <charims> i don't have a separate window to tell...
[05:22] <Jucato> I wouldn't know...
[05:23] <driz> i tried to regisster a nick but failed
[05:23] <NickGarvey> I don't hink you are
[05:23] <crimsun> charims: hi.
[05:23] <Jucato> driz: /msg NickServ register <password> <e-mail>
[05:23] <NickGarvey> yeah you arnet'
[05:23] <charims> hi crimsun
[05:24] <charims> crimsun: test passed, it ran 2 tests...
[05:24] <crimsun> charims: dpkg -l linux-image-$(uname -r)|grep ^ii|awk '{print $3}'
[05:25] <charims> crimsun: returned :2.6.15-26.46
[05:25] <driz> ok it why is my nick in a convo tab
[05:25] <charims> crimsun: i understand that they had errors with this chip in .14
[05:25] <driz> i did that thing and it came up
[05:25] <crimsun> charims: ok.  I specifically told him to /msg NickServ....
[05:29] <crimsun> charims: cat /proc/asound/version
[05:29] <Jucato> driz: I told you "/msg NickServ register <password> <e-mail>"
[05:29] <InuDuelist> Jucato, got any advice as to speeding up Firefox?
[05:29] <InuDuelist> At least, like, double the amount it is now?
[05:30] <Jucato> InuDuelist: SwiftFox?
[05:30] <InuDuelist> Seriously.
[05:30] <charims> i jsut followed the guide, hhaha, it didn't make any difference when i did it anyways
[05:30] <InuDuelist> "SwiftFox?"
[05:30] <Jucato> sorry dude, I very rarely use Firefox
[05:30] <InuDuelist> Ah.
[05:30] <InuDuelist> What do you use?
[05:30] <InuDuelist> Konquerer?
[05:30] <Jucato> good old Konqui
[05:30] <charims> crimsun:Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.10.
[05:30] <charims> Compiled on Aug 25 2006 for kernel 2.6.15-26-386.
[05:30] <InuDuelist> How do you live without a Bookmark Toolbaar?
[05:30] <Jucato> InuDuelist: http://www.getswiftfox.com/
[05:31] <Jucato> InuDuelist: what? I have a bookmark Toolbar
[05:31] <crimsun> charims: 1.0.10...? Why didn't you just use 1.0.12? 1.0.10 is _older_ than what Dapper ships with!
[05:31] <crimsun> charims: (Dapper ships with 1.0.10rc3+everything backported from 1.0.12)
[05:31] <charims> crimsun: really, well i didnt know what i was doing, jsut following the instuctions, can i revert to before?
[05:32] <crimsun> charims: sure. Do you use any binary-only drivers?
[05:32] <charims> crimsun:umm, IDK
[05:32] <crimsun> charims: nvidia or fglrx are the most well-known
[05:33] <charims> crimsun: well, i installed nvidia graphics drivers
[05:33] <charims> crimsun: if that counts
[05:33] <charims> crimsun: never heard of fglrx
[05:33] <crimsun> how did you install them?
[05:33] <charims> crimsun: automatix
[05:34] <Zamboulie> my windows computer is trying to print something on a printer thats connected to my linux computer
[05:34] <Zamboulie> and its not working
[05:34] <crimsun> no idea what automatix does.
[05:34] <flaccid> how to install kernel-headers?
[05:34] <charims> crimsun: it jsut got a package...
[05:34] <Zamboulie> does it have to do with the fact that i'm on linux
[05:34] <crimsun> flaccid: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[05:34] <CheeseBurgerMan> !headers
[05:34] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[05:34] <CheeseBurgerMan> Fine, crimsun is faster than me. :P
[05:34] <charims> crimsun: its for noobs, who arn't sure what and where to download from...
[05:34] <leonrott> hi
[05:35] <Zamboulie> oh automatix installs alot of programs and drivers you need
[05:35] <leonrott> anybody have a real xgl guide for kubuntu??
[05:35] <Zamboulie> ya
[05:35] <Zamboulie> i do
[05:35] <Zamboulie> !xgl
[05:35] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems

[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about haxoring - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <kutan> Damn
[05:35] <Zamboulie> lol
[05:35] <kutan> Anyone have a guide on that?
[05:35] <leonrott> thanks
[05:36] <charims> crimsun: if you arn't sure of an easy way to go back to regualr alsa drivers, then i can reinstall kubuntu.. not much to lose, i can move everything important to my ntfs
[05:36] <charims> drive
[05:37] <crimsun> charims: I know of an easy way to reinstall the default kernel, yes, but it'd be nice not to munge your Nvidia config
[05:37] <crimsun> charims: granted if you had followed the proper Ubuntu method, it'd be much more straightforward
[05:37] <charims> crimsun: ok, sorry about all the touble...
[05:37] <crimsun> charims: modinfo nvidia|grep ^filename
[05:37] <driz> jucato uhhhh its not working for me... I dont care anyways
[05:38] <charims> crimsun:filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/volatile/nvidia.ko
[05:38] <crimsun> charims: good.
[05:39] <charims> crimsun: chad herby solemnly swears to never again compile a driver unless he knows what hes doing
[05:39] <crimsun> charims: now you'll need to stop kdm and do the rest of this from a console (tty1)
[05:39] <charims> haha, ok
[05:39] <charims> so what do i do
[05:39] <crimsun> which irc client are you using now?
[05:39] <kutan> !Hacking
[05:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Hacking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:39] <kutan> Anyone?
[05:39] <kutan> Hacking guide
[05:39] <charims> kopete
[05:40] <driz> google
[05:40] <flaccid> is this normal when doing an fdisk -l Partition table entries are not in disk order ?
[05:40] <charims> crimsun: but i can use konversation too
[05:40] <driz> kutan go to google
[05:40] <kutan> I was using google
[05:40] <kutan> for at least an hour
[05:40] <driz> and just so you know you have to know how to program
[05:40] <Jucato> you probably won't find a good answer here. this is the #kubuntu support channel
[05:41] <kutan> lol yeah... I noticed...
[05:41] <crimsun> charims: ok, when you quit kdm, that will exit, so you'll want to switch to tty1 (press ctrl+alt+F1), log in, then execute ``screen irssi''. Once irssi has loaded, type: /connect -ircnet freenode chat.freenode.net 8001
[05:41] <kutan> But I don't know where I would go
[05:41] <crimsun> charims: then: /join #kubuntu
[05:41] <Jucato> what do you mean by "hacking"?
[05:41] <charims> crimsun: ok i have to write thsi down, ill forget it
[05:41] <driz> well then go learn python C C++ Perl or something you wont find anything here
[05:41] <kutan> Well I remember when I used Windows they had like
[05:41] <kutan> telnet hacking games
[05:42] <Jucato> ??
[05:42] <Jucato> hacking as in trying to bypass security or get into another system?
[05:42] <kutan> Bypass security, like for example
[05:43] <kutan> there's this one website where you would have to hack into the site and try to figure out how to get the password for the next round of the game
[05:43] <charims> crimsun: to quit KDM i jsut log off, and hit ctrl alt f1?
[05:44] <Jucato> I don't really think that's something that's encouraged/taught here...
[05:44] <crimsun> charims: no, you'll have to do more
[05:44] <crimsun> charims: go ahead and log in via tty1; pressing alt+F7 will take to you back to your KDE session
[05:44] <rOOb> kutan, google legal haking.....notice the 1st result
[05:44] <rOOb> *hacking
[05:44] <rOOb> they have a few
[05:44] <rOOb> hackthissite.com i think
[05:45] <rOOb> *hackthissite.org
[05:45] <kutan> Yeah but doesn't that require telnet which only windows provides?
[05:45] <rOOb> um
[05:45] <rOOb> are u realy asking that?
[05:45] <kutan> ...
[05:45] <kutan> Yeah
[05:46] <kutan> If it's a stupid question then my excuse is
[05:46] <Jucato> this might not be the proper channel for it...
[05:46] <kutan> I'm a newbie
[05:46] <rOOb> goto a console and type man telnet
[05:46] <kutan> oh
[05:46] <kutan> thanks :D
[05:46] <kutan> That's all I needed to know
[05:46] <kutan> no more hacking conversations
[05:47] <charims_> crimsun: i logged in...
[05:48] <charims_> crimsun: are you there?
[05:49] <crimsun> charims_: good. Now press: ^a^c (ctrl+a followed by ctrl+c), which will create a new screen buffer. In this new screen buffer, type: ``sudo invoke-rc.d kdm stop''. To get back to this screen buffer, press ^a^p (ctrl+a followed by ctrl+p).
[05:49] <charims_> crimsun: ok, gotchya
[05:51] <charims_> crimsun: ok, i did
[05:51] <charims_> crimsun: it shoed the kubunto logo, then went back to the prompt
[05:52] <crimsun> good. Now switch to your previous screen buffer (^a^p), and type: ``lsmod|grep ^nvidia''. Then switch back to this buffer and tell us if you get any output.
[05:53] <charims_> crimsun: ok
[05:54] <charims_> crimsun; i got two lines, nvidia followed by some numbers, and nvidia_agp followed by #'s i can get those #'s if u need them
[05:55] <crimsun> charims_: I just need the one for nvidia
[05:55] <charims_> crimsun: i am using the agp card though.., but ok
[05:55] <chrazritt> hi all
[05:56] <charims_> crimsun: it reads nvidia 4550772 0
[05:57] <charims_> crimsun: btw this is awesome this is why i love linux, there is nothing you cannot do... :) very free...
[05:57] <crimsun> charims_: excellent. Now switch back to the previous buffer and execute ``sudo modprobe -r nvidia && sudo umount /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/volatile/''
[05:57] <charims_> kk
[06:00] <AZ_AS> hmm, how do I add a fortune data file for fortune? read the readme file for one of them but I don't see /usr/games/lib/fortunes...if I created the folder, it should be fine right?
[06:00] <charims_> crimsun:kk
[06:00] <crimsun> AZ_AS: no, just install any other fortune* package(s)
[06:01] <charims_> crimsun: done
[06:02] <charims_> crimsun: hopefully this won't take too much longer, my dad is say, "It's time for bed..." school tomorrow
[06:02] <crimsun> charims_: goot, now ``sudo apt-get -d --reinstall install linux-image-$(uname -r)''
[06:02] <crimsun> good, even.
[06:02] <charims_> crimsun: ok
[06:04] <fyyrest0rm> hi all :)
[06:05] <charims_> crimsun: its installing
[06:05] <charims_> crimsun: it says "download complete in download only mode"
[06:06] <AZ_AS> crimsun, I tried that but I downloaded a fortune data file from freshmeat in a bz2 format, and I'm trying to figure out where to put the dat file...fortune is installed
[06:06] <fyyrest0rm> anyone have any experience with mp3 players (DAP's)? Just bought one, it uses mtp protocol (apparently).. the instructions says I have to use windows media player to get stuff to the player. Anyone know anything about it?
[06:07] <crimsun> charims_: excellent. Now ``sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r)''
[06:07] <crimsun> charims_: sorry, hold a sec.
[06:07] <crimsun> charims_: ``sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-$(uname -r)''
[06:07] <AZ_AS> found it :)
[06:08] <Xcalibur> yo
[06:08] <Xcalibur> kubuntu is not recognizing my linksys wireless-g adapter?
[06:08] <Xcalibur> how i fix?
[06:09] <Xcalibur> I'm using ethernet for now, but I want my wireless solution soon, pl???
[06:09] <Xcalibur> plz*
[06:11] <Xcalibur> anyone, plz, this isn't even my laptop!!!
[06:11] <Xcalibur> i gotta have this fixed by 2morrow!
[06:11] <chrazritt> you have the driver file disk for the card?
[06:11] <Xcalibur> yeah
[06:11] <Xcalibur> but it's for windows I thought
[06:11] <Xcalibur> ?
[06:12] <Xcalibur> should I try it?
[06:12] <chrazritt> look at it in a explorer window
[06:12] <Xcalibur> um?ok
[06:12] <charims_> crimsun: we have an error "Couldn't find package linux-2.6.15.-26-386
[06:12] <Xcalibur> brb, let me go get it
[06:12] <chrazritt> tell me if it has any .cat files
[06:13] <crimsun> charims_: did you type precisely what I gave you?
[06:14] <charims_> crimsun: the last thing you gave me i messesd up the first time, and forgot the -$(uname -r) at the end, it gave me an error there, so i tried again
[06:14] <crimsun> charims_: success?
[06:14] <romeo> hello i cant get radio streams with kaffeine
[06:14] <charims_> crimsun: no, the second time is when i got the error
[06:15] <romeo> xms i believe
[06:15] <charims_> crimsun: the first time it said can't find package linux-img
[06:15] <crimsun> charims_: make sure you type it precisely
[06:15] <charims_> crimsun: okay, try again?
[06:15] <crimsun> yes, please
[06:16] <Xcalibur> yay!!!
[06:16] <Xcalibur> i found it!
[06:16] <Xcalibur> the disc
[06:16] <chrazritt> ok
[06:16] <charims_> crimsun: it still says it, i checked it too, cant find package linux-img-2.6.15.#####
[06:17] <Xcalibur> just pop it in, then what next?
[06:17] <charims_> crimsun: do i have to redownload it?
[06:17] <crimsun> charims_: linux-img? note your typo if so
[06:17] <chrazritt> look at it and see if there is a .cat file
[06:17] <Xcalibur> umm....no
[06:18] <Xcalibur> o
[06:18] <Xcalibur> yeah, there is
[06:18] <chrazritt> what files are there?
[06:18] <kinema> Is it possible ot accelerate multiple screens when running xinerama?
[06:18] <charims_> crimsun: the first time i wrote linux-img, the second time i got it right with linuc-image-$(uname -r), and it gives me that last error
[06:18] <chrazritt> ok and an .inf?
[06:18] <charims_> crimsun: linux*
[06:18] <Xcalibur> I looked in the /driver/NT/ folders on the disc
[06:18] <Xcalibur> yes
[06:18] <Xcalibur> and a .sys
[06:19] <crimsun> charims_: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-$(uname -r)*deb
[06:19] <fyyrest0rm> anyone know of something like gnomad2 for kde?
[06:19] <Xcalibur> wat i do with the .inf, .sys, and .cat files?
[06:19] <chrazritt> open a terminal window from the folder where you find the files
[06:19] <CheeseBurgerMan> fyyrest0rm: As long as the GTK+ libraries are installed, Gnomad2 should run in KDE.
[06:20] <fyyrest0rm> CheeseBurgerMan: cool. thanks :)
[06:20] <chrazritt> got it?
[06:20] <aytch> Anybody know a simple script or method for automounting an NTFS drive at startup?
[06:20] <CheeseBurgerMan> !fstab
[06:20] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[06:20] <chrazritt> what are the file names of the .cat and the .inf files?
[06:21] <Xcalibur> h/o
[06:21] <Xcalibur> how i open up a terminal for that specific directory, I tried using the cd command, it keeps telling me invalid driectory
[06:21] <charims_> crimsun: it says no such file or directory
[06:22] <chrazritt> right click in the directory window and see if there is a choice like "xterm"
[06:23] <Xcalibur> no, I'm using kubuntu, it uses konsole
[06:23] <Xcalibur> right?
[06:23] <crimsun> charims_: argh, sorry.
[06:23] <charims_> crimsun: what?
[06:23] <crimsun> charims_: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-$(uname -r)*deb
[06:24] <charims_> crimsun: ok, will run that
[06:24] <Xcalibur> what i do next
[06:24] <Xcalibur> ?
[06:24] <Lamington> Xcalibur: what directory are you looking for ?
[06:25] <chrazritt> ok
[06:25] <Xcalibur> i'm in my CD directory, looking at my drivers that need to be installed
[06:25] <Xcalibur> but i can't get a terminal to navigate to that directory
[06:25] <chrazritt> what are the names of the .cat and .inf files?
[06:25] <Xcalibur> ok
[06:25] <Xcalibur> um
[06:25] <Xcalibur> LSBCMNDS.inf
[06:25] <Xcalibur> and
[06:26] <Lamington> Is the directory just called CD ?
[06:26] <Xcalibur> LSBCMNDS.cat
[06:26] <Xcalibur> no
[06:26] <Xcalibur> in the konqerer thing, it says system:/media/hdc/Driver/NT
[06:26] <charims_> crimsun: it jsut said the same loaction in red this time
[06:26] <Xcalibur> in the location adress
[06:27] <chrazritt> in the terminal window type "source LSBCMNDS.cat" without the quotes
[06:27] <charims_> crimsun: it said the location name in red, nothing else...
[06:27] <Xcalibur> yay
[06:27] <maninder> aaaa i dont get this
[06:27] <maninder> cant figure out how to use kubuntu
[06:27] <Xcalibur> i have navigated to that directory, what next
[06:28] <Xcalibur> it was in /media/cdrom/Driver/NT
[06:28] <crimsun> charims_: good. now: ``sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-$(uname -r)*deb''
[06:28] <Xcalibur> i typed in cd  /media/cdrom/Driver/NT
[06:28] <Xcalibur> it worked, what next?
[06:28] <chrazritt>  in the terminal window type "source LSBCMNDS.cat" without the quotes
[06:29] <Xcalibur> ok
[06:29] <Xcalibur> it gave me bash: 0: command not found
[06:29] <notech> maninder: whats the problem?
[06:30] <charims_> crimsun: its running
[06:30] <maninder> well what is this hda 2 hda 2
[06:30] <Xcalibur> what next?
[06:30] <Xcalibur> there your Hard diskd
[06:30] <Xcalibur> disks
[06:30] <Xcalibur> *
[06:30] <chrazritt> next type "ndiswrapper -i LSBCMNDS.inf" without the quotes
[06:30] <maninder> i used to have 2 in windows now i see 3
[06:30] <maninder> so im wondering what happened
[06:31] <charims_> crimsun: its done
[06:31] <Xcalibur> gave me this "bash: ndiswrapper: command not found"
[06:31] <Xcalibur> wtf?
[06:31] <charims_> crimsun: installed just fine :)
[06:32] <notech> maninder: hda2 is the second partition on the primary master drive
[06:32] <chrazritt> ouch
[06:32] <danish> KPACKAGE KEEPS ASKING ME FOR ROOT PASSWORD AGAIN AND AGAIN
[06:32] <maninder> notech do you have msn to help me out ?
[06:32] <osiris> danish, dont paste in all caps
[06:32] <osiris> its rude
[06:32] <notech> maninder: no, i don't do messengers
[06:33] <charims_> crimsun: installed just fine :)
[06:33] <Xcalibur> what next?
[06:33] <chrazritt> try ndiswrapper -l (that's the lower case L)
[06:33] <Xcalibur> ok
[06:33] <crimsun> charims_: good, now it'll probably be easiest to reboot: ``sudo shutdown -r now''
[06:34] <Xcalibur> same
[06:34] <danish> osiris: srry wasn't intentional i didn't notice the caps
[06:34] <Xcalibur> just another error
[06:34] <charims_> crimsun: is now part of the command?
[06:34] <crimsun> charims_: yes
[06:34] <chrazritt> you are on kubuntu?
[06:34] <charims_> crimsun: ok, exectuing command
[06:34] <Xcalibur> me, yes
[06:35] <notech> maninder: i wasn't aware windows could even see linux partitions
[06:35] <chrazritt> try "modprobe ndiswrapper"
[06:35] <Xcalibur> i thought windows can see it if it is FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
[06:35] <Xcalibur> ok
[06:36] <maninder> well i have both windows and linux installed
[06:36] <maninder> and then i run windows i cant no linux files
[06:36] <maninder> i only see windows
[06:36] <maninder> along with my hard drive
[06:36] <notech> i don't consider fat/fat32/ntfs as linux partitions. they are windows filesystems
[06:36] <maninder> cant linux read fat 32?
[06:36] <AndrukTatum> amen to notech
[06:36] <Xcalibur> I got this "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted"
[06:37] <AndrukTatum> maninder: yes
[06:37] <notech> maninder: there are 3rd party apps that attempt it. don't know their names though
[06:37] <Xcalibur> isn't there a place i can just drop the driver, and be done with it?
[06:37] <intelikey> hmm what's this krap  "pt_chown: needs to be installed setuid `root' "
[06:38] <notech> maninder: but yes, linux can read/write to fat32
[06:38] <AndrukTatum> maninder: yes, fstab, nuff said.  but linux doesnt really use fat partitions, because ext2 and ext3 and reiserfs are much better
[06:38] <Xcalibur> i got ext3
[06:38] <chrazritt> i forgot to have you use the "suto" part
[06:38] <AndrukTatum> ext3 is the rockzorz
[06:38] <Xcalibur> "sudo" you mean?
[06:38] <chrazritt> yes
[06:38] <notech> maninder: sorry, thought you meant windows reading linux partitions when i said 3rd party
[06:39] <Xcalibur> but, what next for the drivers, I need this badly!!1
[06:40] <maninder> well all i was wondering about was that when i run windows i cant see no linux files its like its not even there when i run linux i see 3 hard drives along with floppy drive
[06:40] <chrazritt> with sudo you should be able to install the driver with what i gave you
[06:40] <Xcalibur> ok
[06:40] <Xcalibur> it gave me this "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"
[06:41] <maninder> notech can you private msg me please
[06:41] <notech> maninder: windows can't read linux but linux can read windows
[06:41] <NickGarvey> notech: nope
[06:41] <NickGarvey> !ext3
[06:41] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[06:41] <notech> NickGarvey: that 3rd party?
[06:41] <NickGarvey> notech: yup
[06:42] <Xcalibur> what i do next man, is there any other solution
[06:42] <Xcalibur> ?
[06:42] <NickGarvey> Xcalibur: do you have linux-source?
[06:42] <notech> ok, then i should have added... by default. heh
[06:42] <Xcalibur> linux-source?
[06:42] <Xcalibur> not sure
[06:42] <NickGarvey> Xcalibur: your kernel sources?
[06:42] <Charims> crimson: this i charims on laptop, kubuntu fails on startup on preparing restricted drivers
[06:42] <notech> maninder: get the message?
[06:43] <NickGarvey> Xcalibur: install them through adept, also get your linux-headers
[06:43] <chrazritt> sorry then i can't help you without being able to see what happens if it is going wrong using that input
[06:43] <crimsun> Charims: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[06:43] <Xcalibur> nickagrvey
[06:43] <Xcalibur> garvey*
[06:43] <Xcalibur> pm me plz
[06:43] <Charims> crimson: kk, how do i get into that, do i have to load in recovery mode?
[06:44] <crimsun> Charims: nope, just run the command I just gave you.
[06:44] <Charims> i can't no terminal...
[06:44] <crimsun> KDE probably doesn't start, but you should still be able to login
[06:44] <crimsun> via the terminal
[06:44] <crimsun> ctrl+alt+F1
[06:45] <Charims> crimsun: nada, im stuck on a kubunto logao screen, like the one while booting up
[06:45] <flaccid> !kernel-headers
[06:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel-headers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <flaccid> !headers
[06:45] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[06:45] <Charims> login*
[06:45] <flaccid> cool
[06:46] <Charims> crimson: should i restart in recovery mode?
[06:46] <crimsun> Charims: you should still have gettys running on the virtual consoles (alt+F1 through F6)
[06:46] <Charims> crimsun: tried it, nothing
[06:47] <crimsun> Charims: what screen are you at presently?
[06:47] <Xcalibur> omg
[06:47] <Xcalibur> someone plz help
[06:47] <Xcalibur> PLEASE!!!!!!!
[06:47] <Xcalibur> I'm dead
[06:48] <CheeseBurgerMan> I'll call the funeral home.
[06:48] <Charims> crimsun: right after loading kubuntu, i got this screen, with the kubuntu logo in blue, and the loading bar underneath, not the kde login, i can't get there
[06:48] <Xcalibur> happened to me 2
[06:49] <Xcalibur> anyway, I need help
[06:49] <Xcalibur> is there anyone who has some extreme linux knowledge to help me install these drivers!!!
[06:49] <crimsun> Charims: ok, yeah, boot in recovery mode
[06:50] <alex_> hello everyone
[06:50] <alex_> does anyone know how to install the msttcorefonts?
[06:51] <Hawkwind> !msttcorefonts
[06:51] <ubotu> msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 164 kB
[06:51] <Hawkwind> alex_: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts  assuming you have multiverse enabled
[06:51] <Charims> crimsun: when booting recovery mode under the failed restricted drivers it says cannot make directory, ..././volatile or something like that, then it says read-only directory
[06:51] <Xcalibur> omg
[06:51] <alex_> multicerse!!!!
[06:52] <alex_> that must have been my problem
[06:52] <alex_> thanks
[06:52] <crimsun> Charims: no big deal, we can work around that.
[06:52] <Xcalibur> where else can I get some help
[06:52] <Hawkwind> Xcalibur: What drivers ?
[06:52] <romeo>  hello i cant get radio streams with kaffeine
[06:53] <Xcalibur> for my wireless-G adapter by linksys
[06:53] <romeo> can someone help
[06:54] <crimsun> Charims: are you at a prompt yet?
[06:54] <alex_> hmmm
[06:54] <alex_> Hawkwind: I still get E: Package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate
[06:54] <Charims> crimsun: when it says: give root password for matainace or press control D, it freezes, won't let me go farther
[06:54] <AndrukTatum> for all of you ubuntu developers: espresso kicks butt!  its awesome!
[06:54] <Hawkwind> alex_: sudo apt-get update  first
[06:54] <alex_> Hawkwind: even with multiverse enabled
[06:54] <Hawkwind> alex_: Then do it
[06:54] <alex_> Hawkwind: did that
[06:54] <crimsun> Charims: did you set a root password?
[06:55] <Hawkwind> alex_: Then you don't have multiverse enabled completely
[06:55] <Charims> crimsun: i belive so, at the beginning, but it jsut freezes there, no matter what i do, no denail of password or anything
[06:55] <crimsun> Charims: ok, boot using the live cd, then.
[06:55] <romeo> No plugin found to handle this resource (mms://ysj00ms01s0.aliant.net/CKCW)
[06:55] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: try madwifi (for atheros chipsets only) or ndiswrapper
[06:56] <Xcalibur> what the heck is madwifi?
[06:56] <Charims> crimsun: hey, its getting late here, will you be on tomorrow? Maybe at 5:00 US pacific Standard time, i think thats gmt -7 or 8
[06:56] <Charims> thats pm btw
[06:56] <alex_> Hawkwind: can you give my a link to read about multiverse, for some strange reason the search on Ubuntu's help page yields no results
[06:56] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: you could go find out, but its specifically for wifi cards with atheros chipsets
[06:57] <Hawkwind> !multiverse
[06:57] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource

[06:59] <Charims> crimsun: night
[06:59] <romeo> anubody know what plugin i need for kafeeine (mms://ysj00ms01s0.aliant.net/CKCW)
[06:59] <alex_> Hawkwind: but how do I enable it?
[07:01] <Hawkwind> !repos > alex_
[07:01] <Hawkwind> alex_: Read what the bot pm'd  you
[07:01] <romeo> does anybody know what plugin i need in kaffeine  (mms://ysj00ms01s0.aliant.net/CKCW)
[07:02] <marshall_> hey guys
[07:02] <alex_> Hawkwind: refering to the fact that I cannot get it because it's not free?
[07:02] <danish> for su i enter my pass it say sorry
[07:03] <marshall_> is it easy to get xgl/aiglx/compiz working on kubuntu?
[07:03] <Hawkwind> alex_: Huh ?  It's absolutely free
[07:04] <Jucato> alex_:Need to enable "universe" and/or "multiverse"? See this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[07:05] <Xcalibur> I guess I am supposed to go here - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Installation
[07:06] <Xcalibur> omg
[07:06] <Xcalibur> this is SOSOO confusing
[07:06] <Hawkwind> If you just read and follow the site you'd find it's quite easy
[07:06] <marshall_> is it easy to get xgl/aiglx/compiz working on kubuntu?
[07:07] <alex_> Hawkwind: ok, I did that, added multiverse as stated in the link
[07:07] <alex_> Hawkwind: still the same error
[07:07] <alex_> I just typed in it and hit enter, it saved it there
[07:08] <Hawkwind> alex_: I'm heading to bed.    I even reminded you of that just a few ago :P
[07:09] <alex_> I did that every step
[07:09] <alex_> excluding the last one
[07:09] <alex_> and that's what got me :(
[07:09] <Hawkwind> Jucato: I *am* escaping!   Good night :P
[07:09] <alex_> *bows head in shame*
[07:09] <alex_> Night Hawkwind
[07:09] <Hawkwind> alex_: Heh, we all do it from time to time
[07:09] <Hawkwind> alex_: Night man
[07:09] <Jucato> night Hawkwind
[07:09] <Jucato> sweet dreams!
[07:09] <alex_> Jucato: thanks for the help as well
[07:09] <Jucato> hope you dream of penguins. heheh!
[07:10] <Jucato> alex_: no problem. glad I could help (if I did..)
[07:10] <alex_> Jucato: you did ;)
[07:10] <Xcalibur> isn't there anyway for you guys to help me?
[07:11] <Jucato> Xcalibur: I'm so want to help you, only if I knew about wireless and stuff...
[07:11] <Jucato> it sucks not knowing things... :-(
[07:11] <Jucato> err.. s/I'm/I
[07:11] <Xcalibur> it sucks, that im done 2morrow man
[07:12] <Xcalibur> this guy is gonna bust this laptop over my heaaad
[07:14] <notech> Xcalibur: looked here? Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[07:18] <marshall_> Jucato:  i love compiz and i love kde
[07:18] <marshall_> Jucato:  the only reason i stick with gnome is compiz
[07:18] <Jucato> marshall_: don't get me wrong. it's not impossible. I'm just saying that some were successful, some were not..
[07:18] <notech> marshall_: i'd consider it still beta, at best
[07:19] <marshall_> damnit
[07:19] <marshall_> but i love kubuntu
[07:20] <leonrott> hi
[07:20] <marshall_> konqueror is better than firefox and nautilus in like every way possible
[07:20] <marshall_> amarok is better than any gnome music player
[07:20] <marshall_> including listen
[07:20] <Jucato> (except in compatibility with some sites...)
[07:20] <notech> it'll probably be reasonably stable on the next release, as a guess
[07:20] <leonrott> i install xgl but the cube dont work
[07:20] <leonrott> i can change the number od desktops
[07:20] <Xcalibur> h/o
[07:20] <marshall_> quanta is a very sexy web authoring app
[07:20] <leonrott> i cant change the number of desktop
[07:22] <leonrott> hello i cant change the number of desktop with xgl
[07:22] <Jucato> leonrott: in XGL or in plain KDE?
[07:22] <leonrott> is xgl with kde
[07:22] <leonrott> but always shows 1 desktop
[07:22] <Jucato> oh...
[07:23] <leonrott> and i change to 4 and dont accept
[07:23] <notech> marshall_ & leonrott, might be able to get better answers in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:23] <leonrott> thanks
[07:26] <Xcalibur> ok
[07:26] <Xcalibur> I got it to recognize
[07:26] <Jucato> [ADVERTISEMENT]  Can't find the answer you are looking for here? Try the forums! http://www.kubuntuforums.net/ and http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[07:27] <Xcalibur> but, I goto enable the connection, and it disables etho0(wireless card), like 2 seconds after i enable it?
[07:28] <notech> try ifup eth0 in a terminal
[07:28] <notech> might give more info
[07:29] <Xcalibur> this is what happened
[07:29] <Xcalibur> ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied
[07:29] <Xcalibur> josh@josh-laptop:~$ sudo ifup etho0
[07:29] <Xcalibur> Password:
[07:29] <Xcalibur> Ignoring unknown interface etho0=etho0.
[07:29] <Xcalibur> what I do?
[07:29] <notech> you sure its etho0 and not just eth0?
[07:30] <Jucato> try "eth0"
[07:30] <Xcalibur> ok
[07:30] <Xcalibur> says it's already configured?
[07:31] <Xcalibur> what next?
[07:31] <notech> does ifconfig show eth0? and with a valid ip address?
[07:31] <cyanics> i am looking for a good volume applet for a kde updated version of dapper (not kubuntu, but kde install)
[07:31] <cyanics> Arts Control won't adjust the sound on my system
[07:32] <notech> kmix?
[07:32] <cyanics> not installed. let me apt it.
[07:32] <cyanics> thanks.
[07:32] <Xcalibur> nope, it displays eth0 and lo
[07:33] <Xcalibur> but eth0 in the terminal says it's the ethernet port?
[07:33] <notech> is it the wired ethernet port?
[07:34] <Xcalibur> yeah
[07:34] <Xcalibur> thats how I'm talking to you
[07:34] <flaccid> what package provides the make command?
[07:34] <notech> i'll take a guess and say ifup wlan0
[07:34] <flaccid> i guess its make
[07:35] <cyanics> notech, thanks. kmix does it.

[07:36] <Xcalibur> o sorry
[07:36] <Jucato> :-D
[07:36] <Xcalibur> I keep forgeting
[07:36] <Xcalibur> lol
[07:36] <Xcalibur> but what i do netx, anyione?
[07:36] <Xcalibur> next*
[07:36] <flaccid> i get this with apt-get X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 why/
[07:36] <notech> Xcalibur: i dunno then. don't know what the interface is called. as a last guess see what ifconfig -a says about anything other than eth0 and lo
[07:37] <Xcalibur> i get eth1 eth0 lo and sit0
[07:38] <lmosher> I can't seem to win with totem. If I install totem-gstreamer I get no sound on .wmv files. If I install totem-xine I get sound on .wmv files, but nothing but black for most .mpgs. Any idea?
[07:38] <notech> i don't think your ndiswrapper driver is loaded
[07:38] <Xcalibur> how i do that?
[07:38] <Jucato> lmosher: totem?
[07:39] <notech> Xcalibur: did you follow this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29
[07:40] <abercr0mbie> it seems as though my kubuntu install wont select start install
[07:41] <notech> i've never had a 'g' card or a need for ndiswrapper so i can't help much with those details Xcalibur
[07:41] <abercr0mbie> the CD will do anything else, but wont start the install
[07:41] <Xcalibur> omg
[07:41] <Jucato> nixternal: pardon the interruption, but has some of the KDE 3.5.4 bugs (that seem to be only present in Kubuntu) been squashed in Edgy?
[07:41] <Xcalibur> how I get the ndiswrapper-utils package?
[07:42] <nixternal> edgy and dapper don't share the same bugs with kde 3.5.4, so i guess, the answer would be yes
[07:42] <Jucato> nixternal: kool! thanks!
[07:42] <notech> Xcalibur: i see a link on the page
[07:43] <Jucato> nixternal: and btw, are you and niKsternal the same? :-D
[07:43] <Xcalibur> neither do i?
[07:43] <abercr0mbie> yay
[07:43] <abercr0mbie> kubuntu wont even install for me :-)
[07:43] <nixternal> ya
[07:43] <darintenb> yea, i'm having problems with that too
[07:43] <nixternal> niKsternal was me at school tonight
[07:43] <Jucato> nixternal: ooh... that explains it
[07:43] <darintenb> it starts to load off the cd, but then it stops at a black screen.. :(
[07:43] <notech> Xcalibur: in section 2.2 on that page
[07:43] <Jucato> abercr0mbie: nothing happens when you click on the Install icon?
[07:44] <abercr0mbie> Jucato: its on the kubuntu splash, i hit enter to start or install kubuntu
[07:44] <abercr0mbie> it flashes my cd rom
[07:44] <abercr0mbie> and does nothing.
[07:44] <darintenb> hmm. i guess i get farther then you.
[07:44] <darintenb> i boot from the cd, select install, and it loads stuff for a while.. but then just stops :(
[07:44] <Jucato> abercr0mbie: it could be due to many factors: a bad burn, a corrupted download, hardware compatibility(?)
[07:45] <notech> verified the md5sum of the iso before burning?
[07:45] <Jucato> like notech said, verify the md5sum of the ISO, then burn at the slowest speed supported by your CD writer, then try to verify after burning (most CD burning apps have that feature)
[07:46] <notech> gotta go, later folks
[07:46] <Jucato> You could also choose the "Check media" or something like that when you run the Desktop CD, to check if the CD is good...
[07:46] <kutan> -_-
[07:46] <Kream> hi al
[07:47] <kutan> Do I have to download uhhh
[07:47] <Xcalibur> I'm going to follow the instructions
[07:47] <Xcalibur> brb
[07:47] <kutan> stuff so I can watch an AVI?
[07:48] <kutan> cause when I load an avi in kaffeine, it plays but it's blank and it goes as if minutes are seconds
[07:48] <Kream> hi
[07:48] <Jucato> kutan: yes
[07:51] <Kream> hi all. i'm using openoffice on ubuntu. openoffice starts with hindi localised menu entries. unfortunately, the hindi menus are garbled and unreadable. how do i switch openoffice localised interfaces ?
[07:52] <Jucato> Kream: on Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[07:53] <Kream> kubuntu, sorry
[07:53] <Kream> am on konversation atm
[07:53] <yomerol> i need a chanel but in spanish, somebody can help me? how can i conect in one
[07:53] <Jucato> !es
[07:53] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:53] <yomerol> pefecto gracias
[07:54] <Jucato> Kream: I'm not sure, because I rarely use it. But I think you can go to the Tools menu > Options > Language Settings
[07:56] <darintenb> ah, i think i figured out what my problem was..
[07:56] <Jucato> would anyone know how I could make a Ctrl+Alt+Left-Click/Right-Click on the title bar of a window move that window into the next/previous desktop?
[07:56] <darintenb> i'm trying to load off of the cd and then install..
[07:57] <darintenb> but after a lot of loading, the screen always just goes black..
[07:57] <Xcalibur> I installed the drivers
[07:57] <darintenb> it seems it's trying to load the desktop in a resolution not supported by my monitor
[07:57] <Xcalibur> yay
[07:57] <Xcalibur> now, I shold just enable it?
[07:57] <Xcalibur> and it should work?
[07:57] <unix80486> Is there any thing i can download for better AMD 64 support?     any one know?
[07:58] <darintenb> i've tried loading from the safe mode, and setting the load options to a resolution supported by my monitor, but when it loads the gui, it always switches to a high res.. is there anyway i can change that?
[07:58] <unix80486> ???
[08:00] <romeo> hello again
[08:00] <romeo> how can tell if my firewall is up and running?
[08:01] <darintenb> is there any way i can set the resolution for the desktop gui before it loads? it's trying to load in a resolution that doesn't seem to be supported by my monitor
[08:02] <Jucato> darintenb: you can try this: when you get to the part where it "hangs", press Ctrl+Alt+F1, "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop", then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and later choose your desired resolution, then "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start"
[08:03] <kutan> Hey what's the name of that one game... MotoX?
[08:03] <darintenb> great. i'll give it a shot now
[08:03] <Jucato> darintenb: good luck!
[08:03] <Jucato> going away..
[08:04] <darintenb> hm. no change.
[08:05] <darintenb> should i expect something to change on the screen when i press ctrl+alt+F1?
[08:05] <Xcalibur> yo
[08:06] <Xcalibur> I loaded the drivers
[08:06] <Xcalibur> but it still swtiches back to disabled right after i enable, should I reboot?
[08:06] <auto> hi
[08:07] <auto> who can help me??
[08:07] <Xcalibur> with?
[08:08] <auto> i try to connect in my home (kubuntu) with ssh but i cant
[08:09] <Xcalibur> I'm not so good with SSH, you will need to wait for someone with more expirience to accomodate you
[08:10] <CpuWhiz> you need the openssh-server package and you need to forward port 22 on your router to the machine you want to ssh into
[08:10] <auto> i have install sshd and change port in 20002. I use no-ip
[08:11] <CpuWhiz> ok, so what exacly is going wrong then
[08:11] <Xcalibur> if your not home, and you have remote management on, you can type in your IP, and port 8000 i think
[08:12] <auto> in my home pc with ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 20002 take the error connection 20002 refuse
[08:13] <CpuWhiz> you changed the sshd config to listen on that port?
[08:13] <auto> from my work pc i cant take any message.
[08:13] <auto> yes
[08:13] <kutan> Ugh... when I try to play an AVI on kaffeine, it's blank and plays as if the minutes are seconds.
[08:14] <CpuWhiz> and your sure your router (if you have one) is forwarding the port to the right machine?
[08:15] <auto> yes i am sure
[08:16] <CpuWhiz> maybe a firewall rule?
[08:17] <Xcalibur> how can I setup my wireless card, I have the drivers installed, and i need to know how, without the stupid wireless amanager
[08:17] <Xcalibur> manager*
[08:18] <Kream> i'm using the hi_IN locale. when my openoffice starts up it looks like this: http://191a.net/garbled-oo.png . can someone tell me what the problem might be ?
[08:18] <Jucato> darintenb: yes, you should see a command prompt...
[08:18] <Xcalibur> ?
[08:18] <darintenb> hmm. okay..
[08:18] <Xcalibur> anyone?
[08:18] <darintenb> nothing comes up.. probably because the resolution isn't supported :) hehe
[08:19] <darintenb> oh well, i'll keep messing around with it. thanks :)
[08:19] <Jucato> darintenb: it should have nothing to do with the resolution that's being used by xorg, because it's a command prompt
[08:19] <darintenb> i c
[08:20] <Jucato> darintenb: I'm not familiar with the boot options in the Live CD, but maybe there's one there that says something like choosing VESA?
[08:20] <darintenb> hm..
[08:20] <darintenb> it tries to load the gui at 1280x1024 at 85hz
[08:20] <Xcalibur> well, wireless card inserted -> drivers installed -> enabled network interface, then suddenly without permission, it gets disabled?
[08:20] <Xcalibur> y?
[08:21] <Jucato> darintenb: try to change it to something supported by your monitor?
[08:21] <darintenb> which it seems my monitor can't do.. it was able to display the same resolution at 60hz though
[08:21] <darintenb> right. that's the problem. how do i do that..
[08:21] <Xcalibur> I'm gonna reboot
[08:21] <Jucato> darintenb: where did you see that it's trying to use that resolution?
[08:22] <darintenb> when i press the options button on the monitor it displays what resolution and stuff it is in
[08:22] <Jucato> Kream: try going to the (T) menu (tools) then the last option in that menu, which would be the Options
[08:27] <Xcalibur> yo
[08:27] <Jucato> [ADVERTISEMENT]  Can't find the answer you are looking for here? Try the forums! http://www.kubuntuforums.net/ and http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[08:29] <atkaazm> is there an editor that allows editing and writting to the same file at the same time without messing up the contents?
[08:29] <Xcalibur> can someone plz tell me why my wireless card disables right as soon as I enable it?
[08:30] <Jucato> Kream: were you able to find it?
[08:30] <Xcalibur> ?
[08:31] <Xcalibur> plzz?
[08:31] <Xcalibur> anyone?
[08:31] <Kream> Jucato: one godlike user in the oo.o channel told me blind which menu to click, (third menu on the right, 4th widget on the left)
[08:31] <insanekane> atkaazm: ??
[08:31] <atkaazm> Xcalibur: Kream is a nickname :) and btw, did you check your logs? tail -f /var/log/messages  and enable it to see some msgs (maybe)
[08:31] <Jucato> Kream: ok. that'gs good
[08:31] <Xcalibur> ok
[08:31] <atkaazm> insanekane: ie. like vim, but only one file can be edited at a time
[08:32] <insanekane> atkaazm: what do you mean "like vim" ?
[08:32] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: it could be that linux senses a problem with the driver/card/etc, and automatically disables it to prevent a hardware malfunction.  although this is a complete guess
[08:32] <atkaazm> insanekane: an editor like 'vim' ie. the command 'vim' :)
[08:32] <insanekane> atkaazm: most editors allow you to edit files and save them
[08:32] <Xcalibur> well, the thing is, when I was running off of te liveCD, it was working fine
[08:33] <atkaazm> insanekane: yes, but i want an editor that can edit the same file at once from many instances(windows)
[08:33] <Xcalibur> and the card also worked with windows
[08:33] <insanekane> atkaazm: you should be more clear about that ...
[08:33] <Xcalibur> i think the error says link is not ready?
[08:34] <insanekane> atkaazm: anyway, kate doesnt allow that ... so i dont know
[08:34] <Jucato> !seen Hobbsee
[08:34] <ubotu> I last saw Hobbsee (n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee) 2h 33m 47s ago, quiting: Remote closed the connection
[08:34] <Xcalibur> what should I do next?
[08:35] <MetaMorfoziS> atkaazm: aqll support, but if you change an opened file
[08:35] <Xcalibur> !wlan
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <atkaazm> insanekane: ok, example: i've the file one.cpp, and i run vim one.cpp in one terminal, then vim one.cpp in another terminal; the latter says the file is already opened and allows me to open it readonly, but i want to write to it, so i open it for write but if i change something in one.cpp from first terminal and save it, it won't be reflected on the second terminal and a new change on second terminal will undo my change from first terminal :-"
[08:35] <MetaMorfoziS> it asks what you want
[08:35] <MetaMorfoziS> reload from disk, stay it eec...
[08:35] <atkaazm> insanekane: kate is buggy afaik :P
[08:35] <insanekane> atkaazm: i got what you mean
[08:35] <insanekane> atkaazm: buggy in what sense ? it works for *all* my development work
[08:35] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: this is above me, sorry
[08:36] <Xcalibur> above you, aren't you guys like the geniuses of linux?
[08:36] <insanekane> atkaazm: you may want to try emacs ... dont know if it will support what you want though
[08:36] <Jucato> Xcalibur: most people here are just users like you
[08:36] <atkaazm> insanekane: well ok, i guess it isn't anymore, but the way i used it, it used to sigseg or smth after some while, or some things wouldn't work like i couldn't see the cursor anymore so had to restart (kate)
[08:36] <Xcalibur> o
[08:36] <insanekane> atkaazm: wierd ... hasnt ever happened to me
[08:36] <atkaazm> insanekane: ok i'll try that, thanks
[08:37] <Xcalibur> well, i posted on the forums, 5 views, but no replies
[08:37] <insanekane> Xcalibur: so ?
[08:37] <Jucato> Xcalibur: that doesn't mean that they purposely ignore your problem or purposely don't want to help
[08:37] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: i am definitely not a genius, i have my share of problems...
[08:37] <insanekane> Xcalibur: Canonical offers paid support btw so you might want to try there ... they sure are geniuses of linux
[08:37] <flaccid> !vnc
[08:37] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[08:37] <Jucato> it only means they looked at the problem and saw that it's something that they couldn't help with
[08:37] <atkaazm> insanekane: do you also have F7(i think) which has a konsole opened for you at all time ? (and I also had changed my colours such my background was black on the editor part too)
[08:37] <Xcalibur> I know
[08:38] <Xcalibur> srry for begging
[08:38] <Xcalibur> well, I'm broke
[08:38] <Xcalibur> so, I'm f******
[08:38] <atkaazm> MetaMorfoziS: i've no apt-cache search aqll results :/
[08:38] <flaccid> the vnc wiki says vncviewer is installed by default, but it doesn't appear to be
[08:38] <insanekane> Xcalibur: so sorry for you :P
[08:39] <insanekane> atkaazm: f7 ? if you mean yakuake
[08:39] <flaccid> and on the wiki it doesn't say how to install vncviewer
[08:39] <Jucato> yakuake uses F12 by default..
[08:39] <Lynoure> Xcalibur: build-in or external wireless card?
[08:40] <Xcalibur> wireless card
[08:40] <Xcalibur> well, 2morrow, I got 2 face a guy(6'10) about 250 lbs, and tell him, that his laptop can't give him wireless internet
[08:40] <Lynoure> Xcalibur: build-in or not?
[08:40] <Xcalibur> not
[08:40] <atkaazm> insanekane: f7 was afaik open a docked 'konsole' (in kate)
[08:40] <Xcalibur> I better drink b4 I tell him
[08:40] <flaccid> what protocol does krfb use?
[08:40] <flaccid> !krfb
[08:40] <ubotu> krfb: Desktop Sharing for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6.2 (dapper), package size 913 kB, installed size 1632 kB
[08:41] <insanekane> atkaazm: ah in kate ... no i do not use konsole in kate
[08:41] <Jucato> Xcalibur: have you tried to install other distros?
[08:41] <Xcalibur> I like kubuntu
[08:41] <Jucato> they might have better support for your wireless card...
[08:41] <insanekane> Xcalibur: if you dont have the money, how will you drink ? :)
[08:41] <Lynoure> Xcalibur: oh, if it had been yours I could have possibly donated you a card that works
[08:42] <atkaazm> insanekane: it could have been that was one of the whys it caused undefined behaviour to me then :)
[08:42] <insanekane> atkaazm: hmm wierd ... konsole in kate does work well
[08:42] <flaccid> hmm i guess nobody can help me today
[08:42] <insanekane> !wireless
[08:42] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:42] <insanekane> !tell Xcalibur about wireless
[08:42] <Jucato> Xcalibur: you could try MEPIS 6. it's based on Ubuntu also
[08:43] <insanekane> Xcalibur: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:43] <Xcalibur> I know this card works, I'm gonna go see if I should look for the driver provided by ndiswrapper
[08:43] <atkaazm> insanekane: it worked for me too, but only after some time (keeping kate open and with many files open!) caused some weird stuff to me; anyway they might have been fixed by now; i had ubuntu breezy then
[08:44] <insanekane> atkaazm: thats wierd too .. i have typically 20-30 files open
[08:45] <Xcalibur> well, what do ya know, it comes to find out, that you need a special program to use the specific card?
[08:46] <Xcalibur> lol
[08:46] <atkaazm> flaccid:
[08:46] <Xcalibur> I just found this out
[08:46] <atkaazm> flaccid:   KRfb is a small server for the RFB protocol, better known as VNC.
[08:46] <atkaazm> :-"
[08:46] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: enable/disable problem found.  good for you!
[08:46] <Xcalibur> lol
[08:47] <Xcalibur> omg
[08:47] <AndrukTatum> ?
[08:47] <Jucato> ...
[08:47] <Xcalibur> I was like sweating bullets
[08:47] <Xcalibur> lol
[08:47] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: are you american?
[08:47] <Xcalibur> yeah
[08:47] <Xcalibur> y?
[08:48] <atkaazm> labels like "do no eat" :)
[08:48] <atkaazm> insanekane: ok, thanks for everything
[08:48] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: i am too, and i could tell.  the purpose of all these IRC channels is to give people the tools they need to fix it themselves, not to fix it for them.  of course, sometimes, weird stuff happens, and these guys end up fixing problems outright
[08:49] <AndrukTatum> Xcalibur: so, a tip about using these channels-do your homework first
[08:49] <Jucato> ............
[08:49] <Xcalibur> ok
[08:49] <AndrukTatum> because, after all, it is free help, use it wisely
[08:49] <Jucato> (emphasis on the free?)
[08:50] <AndrukTatum> free/open source, its all good stuff anyway
[08:52] <AndrukTatum> wow...its really quiet
