[10:04] <Blissex> kRocKodile: whatever that is just look at 'Setting;Edit toolbars'
[10:04] <jaime> #inkscape
[10:04] <kRocKodile> Blissex: missing....
[10:04] <kRocKodile> i wonder why
[10:05] <abattoir> kRocKodile: I have it...
[10:05] <zeroconf> can anybody say - is it right to add http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/ to the /etc/apt/sources.list to get always latest stable KDE? Or shall I add http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354/ and when next KDE comes out - I need reconfigure all PC's, where I have Kubuntu installed? And I have a lot of PC's with Kubuntu installed... and the same with KOffice and Amarok...
[10:05] <abattoir> kRocKodile: View->View Mode
[10:05] <kRocKodile> abattoir: kubuntu 6.06 ?
[10:05] <kRocKodile> abattoir: i say the toolbar BUTTON not the menu option
[10:06] <asimon> Blissex: there is an other reason too, SMP kernels don't have any disadvantage for uni-processor systems nowadays, if they see only one processor during booting, they just switch in up mode
[10:07] <kRocKodile> abattoir: do you have the view toolbar button?
[10:07] <zeroconf> I see amarok-stable and koffice-stable but no kde-stable at http://kubuntu.org/packages/ ...
[10:07] <abattoir> kRocKodile:hmm... my mistake... let me check
[10:07] <asimon> zeroconf: As I understand it, kde-latest will point to the latest packages.
[10:07] <Blissex> asimon: it is not quite as simple as that!
[10:08] <kRocKodile> i think the kubuntu developers is gnome users... :/
[10:08] <zeroconf> asimon: yes, but they might be not stable
[10:08] <raphink> zeroconf: maybe because kde-stable makes no sense
[10:08] <raphink> ;)
[10:08] <Blissex> asimon: the SMP kernels, esepcially for preemption, used to be quite a bit more buggy than UP ones. But now that many have dual core the bugs are being ifxed.
[10:08] <kRocKodile> maybe they think kubuntu users are idiots and the view button is too much for them
[10:09] <raphink> kRocKodile: who do you think you're insulting?
[10:09] <kRocKodile> raphink: show me that i have wrong
[10:09] <raphink> what button are you talking about?
[10:10] <kRocKodile> the 'view mode' toolbar button
[10:10] <raphink> ah right
[10:10] <raphink> you can add it
[10:10] <slow-motion> n8
[10:10] <kRocKodile> i can't i missing
[10:10] <kRocKodile> is missing
[10:11] <raphink> hmmm
[10:11] <raphink> let me see
[10:11] <bobbyd> what app can I use to set up an ad-hoc wifi network?
[10:12] <raphink> hmm
[10:12] <raphink> there's no reason why we would have removed it kRocKodile
[10:12] <raphink> does it show in KDE 3.5 on other distros?
[10:12] <kRocKodile> yes
[10:12] <kRocKodile> in gentoo, fedora, suse
[10:12] <raphink> alright
[10:12] <raphink> did you file a bug for that?
[10:13] <kRocKodile> so its a bug?
[10:13] <raphink> it seems to be
[10:13] <raphink> I can't find it either
[10:13] <kRocKodile> also missing the terminal option in konqueror
[10:13] <raphink> and we surely didn't remove it on purpose
[10:13] <raphink> where ?
[10:13] <raphink> F8 works
[10:13] <hhhjr> Hey guys thanks for the help and the link to the automatic repository generator   very cool
[10:13] <kRocKodile> yes F8 works... hmmm
[10:14] <kRocKodile> ok this is a half bug:>
[10:14] <kRocKodile> because is missing from menu only
[10:14] <raphink> kRocKodile: the menus have been redone, so that can explain for this one
[10:14] <raphink> but not for the view button
[10:16] <kRocKodile> damn... i use this button alot :(
[10:16] <raphink> can you file bugs for these kRocKodile?
[10:16] <kRocKodile> i can try
[10:16] <kRocKodile> (sorry for my bad english)
[10:16] <raphink> http://launchpad.net/malone kRocKodile
[10:17] <raphink> sorry I don't speak greek kRocKodile ;)
[10:17] <kRocKodile> thats ok, i go now to file this bug
[10:17] <drunkpika> abattoir: you there?
[10:18] <BluesKaj> what K3b plugin do I need to burn encoded dvd files ?
[10:18] <kRocKodile> I guess I go there?: 'Report a bug in a package'
[10:18] <Hawkwind> BluesKaj: k3b-dvd
[10:19] <abattoir> drunkpika: yes
[10:20] <assar> hej.. Jag har en liten frga.. Hur joinar jag andra irc kanaler? r det inte "#j" och sen vad?
[10:21] <drunkpika> abattoir: on the guide you gave me, I can't quite get what need to be done with the firmware files. I've compiled them but I don't quite get what they mean by downloaded file (#: sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware <downloaded file>)
[10:21] <BluesKaj> !se
[10:21] <ubotu> Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se
[10:21] <Lynoure> assar: /join kanalnamnet
[10:21] <BluesKaj> det svenska kanal
[10:21] <assar> okey.. tack
[10:21] <abattoir> drunkpika: in that step, you actually extract the firmware for your driver
[10:21] <Lynoure> BluesKaj: he is asking how to join channels
[10:21] <assar> #j ubuntu-se
[10:22] <hhhjr> Hey ppl just 1 more question I have a kernal image of 2.6.15-26-386 but the one I am loading via synaptic manager is <IP_ADDRESS>6 smp does that sound right?
[10:22] <drunkpika> abattoir: from?
[10:22] <BluesKaj>  /join #kubuntu-se
[10:23] <hhhjr> ok i guess Ill find out now lol
[10:23] <hhhjr> thanks again
[10:23] <abattoir> drunkpika: look at the step above...
[10:23] <asimon> hhhjr: You probably don't want a 2.4 kernel. Try to install the 2.6.15-x-686
[10:24] <drunkpika> abattoir: gah, im an idiot
[10:24] <abattoir> drunkpika: you must read the README file, find the correct firmware version for your chip and d'load it
[10:24] <pyret> anyone knows how i install mplayer codecs?
[10:24] <raphink> !codecs

[10:25] <narvik86> pyret: or w32codecs  	IMO
[10:27] <SpAwN> could anyone in here help me add a external device to the fstab so it will be auto mounted everyt time i plug it in?
[10:27] <SpAwN> http://pastebin.ca/119369  <---what dmesg says when i connect it
[10:28] <kRocKodile> raphink: ok i file it (Bug #55436) so what next? i wait for the 6.07 version?
[10:28] <raphink> there's no 6.07 version kRocKodile ;)
[10:28] <raphink> the next version is 6.10 ;)
[10:28] <aliasfred> SpAwN: looks fine from 1000miles away
[10:28] <SpAwN> aliasfred, what looks fine?...
[10:29] <aliasfred> SpAwN: dmesg output
[10:29] <SpAwN> aliasfred, i dont know how to add a entry to my fstab
[10:29] <kRocKodile> raphink: so i must re-install kubuntu ?
[10:29] <raphink> kRocKodile: no
[10:29] <raphink> just upgrade it when edgy is out if you want it
[10:29] <raphink> that'll be in october (hence 6.10)
[10:29] <kRocKodile> nice:> thank you!
[10:30] <SpAwN> aliasfred, do u know how i could add a entry to my fstab for that device?
[10:31] <raphink> kRocKodile: you're also welcome to help fixing it if you find the source of the bug
[10:31] <aliasfred> SpAwN: nope, but i think the point is not in fstab. but more in some kind of automount stuff
[10:31] <kRocKodile> raphink: is it possible in 6.10 version the bug still exist?
[10:31] <aliasfred> SpAwN: i dunno how kubuntu handle this, but fstab is more for static stuff
[10:31] <raphink> kRocKodile: if it's not fixed, yes
[10:31] <raphink> hopefully it'll be fixed
[10:31] <raphink> kRocKodile: the best way to get sure it gets fixed is to help fixing it
[10:32] <raphink> this is what open-source is about
[10:32] <SpAwN> aliasfred, well thanks anyways...but im using e17 and want to use a module that will auto mount stuff when it is plugged in and i was told that for it to work that i need to have it in my fstab
[10:32] <kRocKodile> raphink: sorry i dont know C or C++.. just shell (bash) scripting
[10:32] <raphink> alright
[10:32] <raphink> kRocKodile: if you could try in Debian for example
[10:32] <raphink> and see if this bug exists there too
[10:32] <raphink> that would help
[10:32] <jott> kRocKodile: its a kubuntu thing
[10:32] <jott> kRocKodile: cp /data/usr/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror-orig.rc konq-kubuntu.rc ;)
[10:32] <jott> erm
[10:33] <raphink> jott: if that gets the button bar, then we have a bug
[10:33] <jott> kRocKodile: /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps/konqueror
[10:33] <jott> to this place konq-kubuntu.rc
[10:33] <pyret> does anyone knows a good dc++ server prog for ubuntu?
[10:33] <jott> kubuntu seems to "simplify" certian things ;)
[10:37] <draik> aliasfred, I guess nobody knew about voice-recognition for kubuntu
[10:38] <aliasfred> draik: yep, voice recognition is like not mainstream on linux in general. there is likely some research soft existing, but nothing in the mainstream
[10:38] <draik> :(
[10:38] <aliasfred> would be cool to say "open firefox" in the micro and have it launched
[10:38] <draik> LOL... I understand that as talking to the microwave... LOL
[10:38] <jott> isn't ther viavoice for linux? or has it stopped development?
[10:39] <draik> !viavoice
[10:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about viavoice - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:39] <aliasfred> the strange point is that good voice recognition tech do exists
[10:39] <jott> it's commercial afair... but last time i heared about it was some years ago
[10:39] <aliasfred> viavoice implemented such
[10:39] <aliasfred> yep viavoice was done by ibm
[10:39] <abattoir> aliasfred: i'm yet to do that w/ linux, despite countless sleepless nights.... :(
[10:40] <aliasfred> the basic 'single word multiple locutor' is not that hard
[10:40] <aliasfred> and require no training
[10:40] <abattoir> aliasfred: there is a nice utility called Nitrous Voice flux for windows that does just that...
[10:41] <aliasfred> stuff like viavoice are much harder to do tho :)
[10:41] <draik> Nitrous Voice??? That's an interesting name
[10:41] <jott> hey i guess its not hard to beat vistas voice recognition after all ;)
[10:41] <kRocKodile> jott: i must restart kde or just close n open konqueror?
[10:41] <jott> kRocKodile: just start konqi
[10:42] <draik> isn't konqi the KDE dragon?
[10:42] <jott> ;)
[10:42] <jott> whatoever
[10:42] <abattoir> draik: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Misc__Utilities/Nitrous_Voice_Flux.html
[10:42] <draik> I like that dragon, but then again I love dragons
[10:42] <jott> ok got to go...
[10:43] <draik> Is that for linux?
[10:43] <draik> or just windoze?
[10:44] <draik> by jott
[10:44] <draik> *bye jott
[10:44] <abattoir> draik: for windows :(
[10:44] <draik> :'(
[10:44] <kRocKodile> jott: is still missing:(
[10:44] <abattoir> draik: as i said, i've been searching for linux alternatives... for more than a year...
[10:45] <abattoir> maybe its time to code it :P
[10:45] <h3sp4wn>
[10:45] <_1Bh> cant install dapper drake on a thinkpad Z60m
[10:45] <draik> It would be nice if some dev's got on it
[10:45] <aliasfred> abattoir: we are behind you :)
[10:45] <draik> all the way
[10:46] <aliasfred> abattoir: not even some library out of the lab ?
[10:46] <abattoir> aliasfred: hehe, i'd love to work on it, but definitely not on my own....
[10:46] <draik> I'll be the lab rat or test monkey or whatever other thing I need to be
[10:46] <aliasfred> oh i see you are lazy :)
[10:46] <aliasfred> or you sleep too much :)
[10:47] <abattoir> aliasfred: hmmm... you wouldnt say that if you saw my activity logs here for the past month..... but then :P
[10:47] <aliasfred> ok :)
[10:48] <abattoir> anyways, i'm working on 'other things' :P
[10:48] <abattoir> _1Bh: what exactly is the problem?
[10:48] <gplfighter> hi
[10:48] <_1Bh> it boots to the live os, but then the install does not work
[10:48] <gplfighter> how can i add an option to kdm?
[10:49] <abattoir> _1Bh: any errors? does the installer load at all?
[10:49] <gplfighter> i have to place a *.desktop file, buut where?
[10:49] <draik> I have yet to come across an unsuccessful install of Kubuntu
[10:49] <abattoir> aliasfred: and I also have no experience w/ voice programming stuff... which is definitely way out of my league
[10:50] <_1Bh> It says that the installer crashed, I tried to send bug report but there is some kind of resource problem
[10:50] <_1Bh> the cd rom just keeps cycling over and over
[10:50] <abattoir> _1Bh: during which step?
[10:50] <aliasfred> abattoir: good oportunity for learning you mean ?
[10:50] <asimon> gplfighter: I think it's /usr/share/xsessions/
[10:50] <drunkpika> has anyone else had problems running 'make installfw' when trying to use the bcm43xx-fwcutter files?
[10:50] <gplfighter> yes, it is
[10:50] <abattoir> aliasfred: hmmm, ok, so shall we work on it together?
[10:50] <gplfighter> i've found it :-)
[10:50] <_1Bh> right after the desktop loads the live os, then the installer tries to launch and immediately crashes
[10:51] <gplfighter> _1Bh: and the alternate install cd?
[10:51] <abattoir> _1Bh: do you have the installer log files? could you pastebin them?
[10:51] <aliasfred> abattoir: i dont want to steal your project :)
[10:51] <abattoir> !pastebin
[10:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:51] <abattoir> aliasfred: we could always be a team :)
[10:51] <drunkpika> sounds hot
[10:51] <abattoir> _1Bh: /var/log/installer/syslog , iirc
[10:52] <aliasfred> abattoir: more seriously, i surely whish i had the time i got when i was a student :)
[10:52] <aliasfred> abattoir: i did some pattern recognition at the time
[10:52] <abattoir> aliasfred: which is exactly what i lack, being one
[10:52] <_1Bh> breezy badger runs great and installs great on this machine, so I am back on that right now. I will have to do it over to get the logs
[10:52] <_1Bh> but I can do that
[10:52] <aliasfred> abattoir: you lack time being student 1?!?!!?
[10:53] <abattoir> _1Bh: make use of the live cd :P, send info when the installation fails :)
[10:53] <abattoir> aliasfred: ummm, yes, especially when... aah nvm
[10:53] <drunkpika> aliasfred: what do you think he is, a business major?
[10:53] <kRocKodile> a user in #debian says the button exists so... i guess this is a kubuntu bug
[10:53] <abattoir> aliasfred: we are going way offtopic
[10:53] <gan|y|med> hello
[10:53] <aliasfred> abattoir: indeed :)
[10:54] <ciusbet> hi guys!
[10:54] <_1Bh> The os is unstable and requires extreme patience to use anything on it, like mail
[10:54] <ciusbet> i have a question!
[10:54] <_1Bh> will send the info
[10:55] <ciusbet> someone knows how to configure OpenGL options?
[10:55] <gan|y|med> since i updated to the new kde version, network printing doesn't work anymore. the cups server is alright, printing locally and from a win client works, just my linux client doesn't wnat anymore. jobs are sent out and it seems they get there, but nothing happens
[10:55] <gan|y|med> any ideas?
[10:55] <ciusbet> i am playing with Unreal 2004 and i've some problems
[10:56] <ciusbet> the game is toooooo fast
[10:56] <gan|y|med> that'S sth. people don't hear that often in a linux channel
[10:56] <ciusbet> if i set resolution > 1024, game crashes
[10:56] <ciusbet> :S
[10:57] <gan|y|med> have you checked the x server log?
[10:57] <abattoir> aliasfred: anyways, i'll ping you later, and we'll discuss working on 'KDE Voice Control System' :P
[10:57] <ciusbet> where is it dude?
[10:57] <aliasfred> ok :)
[10:57] <ciusbet> y change xorg.conf
[10:57] <ciusbet> and install nvidia.glx
[10:57] <gan|y|med> anybody here has printing problems via ipp? because i have...
[10:58] <gan|y|med> ciusbet: /var/log
[10:58] <ciusbet> thx
[10:59] <ciusbet> and, do you know how can i change OpenGL options?
[10:59] <ciusbet> enable FSAA, aniso..
[11:01] <ciusbet> x server log doesnt help
[11:01] <gan|y|med> ciusbet: no, sorry. especially since i don't play on linux and have an ati card. i won't be mcuh of a help
[11:01] <ciusbet> ok thanks you
[11:01] <ciusbet> i hope someone knows
[11:01] <gan|y|med> are there any issues about ipp printing in kde?
[11:02] <kRocKodile> i also notice the konqueror does not remember my (saved in default profile) view mode
[11:03] <kRocKodile> is this a kubuntu bug also?
[11:04] <gan|y|med> what are you opening? kfmclient (file manager) or browser?
[11:04] <kRocKodile> file manager
[11:05] <swinghead> hallo
[11:05] <kRocKodile> why the kubuntu developers "tweaks" the konqueror so much? is not enouf good by default?
[11:07] <kRocKodile> i think the 6.06 is it not ready for release.... to many bugs
[11:07] <h3sp4wn> They are releasing a point release soon
[11:07] <Hawkwind> LOL 6.10 is almost out
[11:07] <h3sp4wn> 6.06.1
[11:08] <lhds> hello how to untar a .tar file?
[11:08] <h3sp4wn> rar xf
[11:08] <rr72> is there a system infomation like gkrell but horizontal instead of vertical?
[11:08] <h3sp4wn> tar xf file.tar
[11:08] <rr72> h3sp4wn~ tar -zxvf
[11:08] <unstablesob> anyone else getting seg faults with smb?
[11:09] <Hawkwind> rr72: conky
[11:09] <rr72> sorry
[11:09] <rr72> thats tar.gz
[11:09] <h3sp4wn> rr72: v is not necessary and he didn't mention gz
[11:09] <Hawkwind> rr72: The - is deprecated and no longer needed
[11:09] <rr72> Hawkwind~ im old school
[11:09] <rr72> habbit
[11:10] <gan|y|med> save it as file manager. the konqueror setup in kubuntu has never been very sohisticated in my opinion. but that's no reason not to use it
[11:10] <soulrider> can someone help me configure kmail? it wont connect to gmail properly. I seached the wikia nd found nothing
[11:10] <gan|y|med> since i updated to the new kde version, network printing doesn't work anymore. the cups server is alright, printing locally and from a win client works, just my linux client doesn't wnat anymore. jobs are sent out and it seems they get there, but nothing happens
[11:10] <rr72> so then tar version would return the version?
[11:10] <ceruleantiger> This may be a little off topic, but you know kde input actions where you can do the custom key bindings? Is there any way to get that in OS X?
[11:11] <ceruleantiger> I've been searching forever, and I just can't for the life of me find anything about it, so this is sort of a last ditch effort
[11:11] <rr72> ceruleantiger~ ask in #kde yet?
[11:11] <h3sp4wn> tar --version
[11:11] <apeman2020> Hi1
[11:11] <ceruleantiger> rr72: no, that would make too much sense :P /me -> #kde
[11:12] <Chousuke> ceruleantiger: keyboard preference pane?
[11:12] <Chousuke> you can define keyboard shortcuts there. :P
[11:12] <Chousuke> meh
[11:12] <rr72> someone said taht - are depreceated
[11:12] <ciusbet> YYEEH DUDEESS
[11:13] <ciusbet> someone knows how to configure opengl?
[11:13] <rr72> see all of htis would be gone if i ignored hawkwind
[11:13] <rr72> dpkgreconfigure opengl do anything?
[11:13] <Hawkwind> rr72: It's true.  - is deprecated and is *not* needed.  Hasn't been for 5+ years now
[11:13] <rr72> im going to stop using - in all my typing then
[11:13] <h3sp4wn> --wildcards is nolonger default in newer versions of tar thats annoying
[11:14] <rr72> dpkgreconfigre command not found?
[11:14] <rr72> i thought Hawkwind u said - are obsolete
[11:14] <lhds> in /usr/src i should have a linux folder with an @ next to it instead i have a linux-headers-2.6.15-26      linux-source-2.6.15 linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386    any suggestions?
[11:14] <Hawkwind> rr72: In the tar command
[11:15] <Hawkwind> rr72: Pay attention to the conversation and stop trolling, as usual
[11:15] <gan|y|med> why doesn't printing work in kubuntu?
[11:15] <Hawkwind> gan|y|med: It works here without problems using CUPS
[11:15] <ciusbet> i've a big problem with Ut2004
[11:16] <lhds> no suggestions?
[11:16] <dr_willis> gan|y|med,  ive used the gnome-cups-manager tool and the cups web interface. :) the kde printer config  can be a little over kill
[11:17] <dr_willis> what is the  printer gan|y|med ?
[11:18] <enzo> draik_
[11:21] <gan|y|med> it is an epson stylus color 640 on a lan server
[11:21] <gan|y|med> dr_willis: it used to work. seems it doesn't since the last update
[11:21] <gan|y|med> dr_willis: i have read sth. about cups 1.2 and kdeprint problems
[11:22] <montoya> I have a problem
[11:22] <_mathieu> Im currently running kubuntu from my laptop
[11:22] <dr_willis> i always reenable the cups web interface. :P
[11:22] <_mathieu> I'd like to use the VGA port to have dual screen
[11:23] <_mathieu> however it only "clone" the laptop screen on the other monitor...
[11:23] <_mathieu> is it possible to use it as an "extended desktop" -- is there a config tool for this?
[11:23] <dr_willis> depends on the video card. to some degree.. Ive not seen ubuntu have any tools to configure this.
[11:24] <_mathieu> ok :(
[11:24] <montoya> Nesecito aayuda
[11:24] <_mathieu> its a radeon something (the laptop is a LG LW60)
[11:24] <ciusbet> montoya?
[11:24] <ciusbet> que pasa
[11:24] <_mathieu> i have to edit XOrg.conf manually?
[11:24] <gan|y|med> dr_willis: well, i need to be able to print from the client to the server.
[11:24] <dr_willis> _mathieu,  yep.. of course learning what to edit will be the hassle. :)
[11:24] <_mathieu> argh ok
[11:25] <_mathieu> there definately should be a GUI config for this
[11:25] <montoya> mira estoy tratando de usar el KOpete para conectarme con mi cuenta de MSN
[11:25] <dr_willis> Ive only messed with ati and the tv out. never dual monitors
[11:25] <_mathieu> TV Out will be next step
[11:25] <_mathieu> :P
[11:26] <dr_willis> try it now. Mine worked automaticially :P
[11:26] <dr_willis> once i installed the ATI drivers
[11:26] <ciusbet> si
[11:26] <ciusbet> y que pasa
[11:26] <ciusbet> con Kopete
[11:26] <montoya> y no me sirve
[11:26] <gan|y|med> _mathieu: why dont you use the ati gui config tool? you can set up dual monitoring, restart x and it works. for me at least
[11:26] <ciusbet> pues instala GAIM o aMsn
[11:26] <montoya> si con KOPETE
[11:27] <montoya> de donde puedo descargar aMsn
[11:27] <rr72> !english
[11:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about english - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:27] <_mathieu> gan|y|med: cool, whats this tool called?
[11:27] <montoya> pero lo extrao es que ayer funsionaba el KOPETE
[11:27] <ciusbet> Adept
[11:27] <ciusbet> buscas amsn
[11:27] <ciusbet> o gaim
[11:27] <gan|y|med> you just install the ati drivers. they have a graphical installer now and put the gui right in the menu
[11:27] <montoya>  /msg montoya set unfiltered on
[11:28] <montoya> ok
[11:28] <gan|y|med> any ideas about the printing. test printing form the cups config tool doesn't work as well
[11:28] <montoya> gaim tampoco sirve, se conecta y inmediatamente se sale el programa

[11:31] <_mathieu> gan|y|med: ok thats weird I got the GUI menu but nothing shows. which driver should I use? "ati"? or "fglrx"?
[11:32] <dr_willis> fglrx is the accelerated 3d driver
[11:38] <gan|y|med> sorry, reading bug reports
[11:39] <Ademan> anyone here have a GRUB splash?
[11:39] <_mathieu> ok, rebooting X
[11:39] <gan|y|med> _mathieu: fglrx. but why don't you just download the latest ati driver from ati.com and install it via the script?
[11:40] <_mathieu> gan|y|med: it wont conflict with the drivers I apt-got?
[11:40] <Ademan> you could uninstall fglrx...
[11:40] <_mathieu> ok. it might turn out being easier then :)
[11:41] <dr_willis> the ati script is a bit on the brain dead side at times.
[11:41] <Ademan> apt-get --remove or something like that, might actually be dpkg --remove   i use synaptic :-p
[11:42] <gan|y|med> just deinstall them
[11:42] <Ademan> i avoid the command line whenever possible, but of course, this is linux... so its more like that one friend that i only hang out with when everyone else is on vacation
[11:42] <gan|y|med> dr_willis: what do you mean?
[11:43] <dr_willis> last i messed with the ati script - it genreated a very very poor  xorg.conf file
[11:43] <dr_willis> i had to change a large amount of it -
[11:43] <gan|y|med> apt-get install --remove packagfe
[11:43] <gan|y|med> forget the f
[11:43] <gan|y|med> when was this?
[11:45] <whizz-> i have been using a different computer for some time, but now i want to append the (konversation) chat logs i have on the other computer to the ones i have on my regular computer... can this be done easily?

[11:52] <BrigadierFrog> even as sudo it says I don't have permission to /proc/sys/fs/file-max
[11:52] <BrigadierFrog> do I need to change something else first?
[11:53] <BrigadierFrog> it seems to max out at around 1024
[11:53] <gan|y|med> dr_willis: is it normal that it needs loooong time to print 30 pages text from openoffice?
[11:54] <dr_willis> ive never used OO..
[11:54] <dr_willis> so cant tell ya. :P

[12:00] <SpAwN> justjosh, xmms is
[12:01] <SpAwN> justjosh, u can even use winamp skins with xmms
[12:01] <justjosh> any good auto installs for xmms? i just switched to kubuntu about 4 days ago. so far all I've figured out is automatix
[12:01] <h3sp4wn> posthuman: No suitable demux plugin. (that problem) - If I can confirm that amarok 1.4.2 definately fixes that then I could build some (tommorow)
[12:01] <SpAwN> justjosh, use "sudo apt0get install packagename(xmms)"
[12:02] <justjosh> ah, thanx SpAwN
[12:02] <SpAwN> justjosh, "sudo apt-get install"
[12:02] <dr_willis> Egads... dont use automatic.
[12:02] <dr_willis> learn the proper way to isntall things.. its trivially easy. :P
[12:02] <justjosh> yeah, but the wife wants it NOW. so I gotta move fast.
[12:02] <posthuman> automatix works nicely though
[12:02] <posthuman> lol
[12:02] <posthuman> ok h3sp, cool.
[12:03] <justjosh> and if you've got a good tutorial on how to compile dr_willis, please send me a url
[12:03] <dr_willis> posthuman,  theres dozens of peopel that would debate taht point.
[12:03] <posthuman> well, I've never had a problem with it

[03:09]  * Blank__  is still wondering why both 9.04 and 9.10 have problems with the login menu
[03:09] <Blank__> or is it just 9.10, either way all i get from both a fresh install and an upgrade are a plain vanilla login menu with a grey gradient as the background
[03:09] <Blank__> ubuntu studio that is
[03:27] <ScottL> Blank__, for 9.10 is was because no one prepared or implemented a gdm screen, complete oversight by a incomplete team
[03:27] <Blank__> ah :(
[03:28] <ScottL> cory was quite disappointed that it had happened (he had stepped down just recently before I believe)
[03:30] <Blank__> ah...
[03:31] <Blank__> so is there any possibility of grabbing the old files from an older release and remaking it?
[03:44] <ScottL> i would suppose so, but I'm not very knowledgeable about gdm or how to change the background image, mayhaps ubuntu forums?
[05:47] <Blank__> ScottL, i'll be looking into it
[05:48] <Blank__> (sorry for the delay - just went into town and snagged some 4GB usb drives for $AU 8 each_
[05:48] <Blank__> )*
[06:09] <tucemiux> ScottL, is here??
[09:00] <openmindj> hello everyone
[09:00] <openmindj> does any one here use hydrogen?
[09:38] <openmindj> any one here know where I could find some good hydrogen drum kits?
[10:30] <lasconic> hi there
[10:30] <lasconic> is anybody using MuseScore in Ubuntu Studio ?
[10:32] <Blank__> nope...
[10:34] <lasconic> Blank_: not interesting in music notation ? or you use something else?
[10:34] <lasconic> interested
[11:38] <minedmind> Hi! Does anyone knows how i can change de font type in gaupol? It doesn't recognize french symbols like é è ç à etc. It uses UTF 8 and western (windows 1252). I don't know what to use as french font type nor how to change the "font profile" in preferences...
[14:53] <holstein> minedmind_: did you figure out your font issue?
[15:35] <ScottL> hi holstein
[15:36] <holstein> ScottL: hello
[15:36]  * holstein about to run out to local LUG meeting
[15:37] <holstein> ive got a canonical guy talking today
[15:37] <holstein> i hope its well attended
[15:49] <ScottL> that's cool :)


[21:39] <brillopad> Walex: Faster to convert my Win 7 install to GPT or fix the MBR install?
[21:39] <serodronin> ThinkT510: Ok sorry I'm kinda newb; so if I plug in brand new harddrive and partition according to guide I will have two bootable drives succesfully?
[21:39] <Walex> brillopad: who knows, it takes a bit of time to look at sector 0 contents
[21:40] <ThinkT510> serodronin: i don't see why not
[21:40] <Walex> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record has "Structure of a modern standard MBR!
[21:40] <serodronin> last question is there an easy way to choose which drive to boot from?
[21:40] <serodronin> like some GUI that lets me choose a drive at startup
[21:40] <serodronin> or only bios?
[21:40] <unstable> Is there a way to set the default microphone in Sound settings on ubuntu?
[21:40] <ThinkT510> serodronin: thats done by the bios
[21:40] <maxpolk> serodronin, that's what grub does for you
[21:41] <serodronin> but grub would only be on my secondary linux drive so I would set that to main startupdisk than it would let me choose?
[21:41] <maxpolk> Grub can be made to list your choices and boot from various drives I think, right?
[21:42] <invariant> serodronin, the BIOS selects the right (or wrong) 512 bytes to use
[21:42] <invariant> serodronin, grub needs to be installed on that drive.
[21:42] <invariant> serodronin, then grub could boot from any other partition.
[21:43] <ThinkT510> serodronin: grub will be installed to the mbr of whatever disk you put ubuntu on, if you set the bios to boot that disk then grub will pick up all other oses on all disks connected and allow you to choose what to boot into
[21:43] <serodronin> ok
[21:43] <serodronin> thanks
[21:43] <serodronin> so it should be easy
[21:43] <maxpolk> define easy ;-)
[21:43] <Walex> brillopad: I think I'll convert your MBR to binary so I can use the typical tools to look at it. Decoding by hand too long.
[21:43] <danny> any commentn ne os colorwheel so far it seems stable
[21:43] <WindowsIsGreat> hi
[21:44] <danny> hi
[21:44] <serodronin> maxpolk: as in a similar set up to bootcamp booting on mac
[21:44] <maxpolk> serodronin I believe so, yes
[21:45] <danny> very good terminal program
[21:46] <CraftyBanardo> Hi Guys, This should be an easy one for someone that knows. Machine A has a share called "TV" what should the line in fstab be on machine B to mount it as the user luke on machine A.
[21:47] <ThinkT510> !fstab | CraftyBanardo
[21:47] <Gycklarn-> "updatedb" seems to be stuck. Any ideas?
[21:47] <CraftyBanardo> :) I've been battling this for about 3 weeks. I've read the guide on FSTAB and the one on Samba
[21:48] <abdostar> hello, I have a wierd problem, everytime I start my laptop or wakeup, all I see is a black screen, I Know the OS it's working cause I hear the notification sound, but screen looks very dim
[21:49] <CraftyBanardo> Just looked through that guide ThinkT510 it doesn't tell me how to specify a username/password to use for the mounted share.
[21:50] <ThinkT510> CraftyBanardo: i've never used samba sorry
[21:50] <unstable> I am on Ubuntu with the latest version. When I go to the 'sound settings', which I think is my desktop mixer.. I can see under 'input', 1. (Microphone, Built-in Audio), 2. (Internal Microphone, Built-in Audio), 3. (Microphone, Lifecam Studio). Though there is no way to 'pick' the Lifecam one with this gui. How can I set my default microphone to Lifecam?
[21:50] <steven> does anyone know why chrome won't play flash since today? well i know how to turn it back on, just wondering why it stopped playing at the first place?
[21:51] <ThinkT510> steven: ask the chrome guys
[21:51] <Gycklarn-> CraftyBanardo, username=[namehere],password=[passwordhere]
[21:51] <CraftyBanardo> Thanks Gycklarn- I will try that now.
[21:54] <Ronalds_M> good night
[21:54] <Ronalds_M> anybody knows how to make gbrainy use native language?
[21:57] <Gycklarn-> CraftyBanardo, Any luck?
[21:57] <CraftyBanardo> just did a sudo mount -a
[21:57] <Damo> hello what does it mean when i try to connect to my server and i get this:?  Host key verification failed.
[21:57] <CraftyBanardo> and it seems to have worked.
[21:57] <CraftyBanardo> i think
[21:57] <Gycklarn-> Sweet
[21:57] <CraftyBanardo> I'm going to try writing a file to it now, You could of saved me Gycklarn-
[21:58] <CraftyBanardo> I've been battling samba for a while, I was missing a utils package for about a week.
[21:58] <Gycklarn-> haha yeah, that can be a bitch.
[21:58] <CraftyBanardo> Basically I've got one machine that downloads/extracts and then sickbeard/couchpotato move the files to a media PC in the front room
[21:58] <CraftyBanardo> and its giving this machine write permissions is a problem!
[22:00] <CraftyBanardo> I'll try an episode of breaking bad and let you know Gycklarn- , Thanks for the help so far.
[22:01] <Gycklarn-> o/
[22:01] <WindowsIsGreat> microsoft owns shuttleworth's ass
[22:01] <l057c0d3r> yes yes yes.. i finally got netflix to work for me on linux :-)  about time.....
[22:02] <WindowsIsGreat> ubuntu is gay
[22:02] <l057c0d3r> no unity is..
[22:02] <l057c0d3r> ubuntu rocks
[22:02] <IdleOne> l057c0d3r: don't feed them
[22:02] <WindowsIsGreat> linux is for faggots
[22:02] <l057c0d3r> WindowsIsGreat, you obviously have not seen a ubuntu / gnome / cairo-dock setup.  with wine..
[22:02]  * l057c0d3r sits back and watches netflix on linux  :-) it works
[22:03]  * l057c0d3r pops on skyrim for a min.... it works on linux too...
[22:03] <l057c0d3r> hmm..  lets see.. why do i need window's..  :-p sorry i'll stop feeding
[22:04] <l057c0d3r> but i am stoked that i got netflix to actually run great on here now.. the ppa was not working right for me at first... i was about to give up after getting  the same white screen with links 4 times... but i decided to click on a movie.. it said that after the install finished to restart my browser
[22:04] <zombie05> when you run update-initramfs what tells it where to look for the modules
[22:05] <l057c0d3r> but there was no download.... and then just out of dumb luck i right clicked.. and actidently hit reload on the menu.. and everything just started working..
[22:05] <zombie05> i am getting a could not load but its targeting the wrong ubuntu headers
[22:05] <guideX> how is that even possible ?doesn't netflix run on silverlight video?
[22:05] <l057c0d3r> guideX, yes.. yes it does
[22:06] <l057c0d3r> but with a modified version of wine....  mono...  gecko..  and firefox....  it works
[22:06] <kostkon> !netflix | guideX
[22:06] <Damo> Host key verification failed. what is needed for me to connect to my server?
[22:07] <guideX> my wii does nothing but play netflix :P
[22:07] <l057c0d3r> dude is a genius over here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iheartubuntu.com%2F2012%2F11%2Fppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html&ei=I44NUcnRIe7xyAG0roGQBg&usg=AFQjCNHl1XwyexEfkDjp202PFepf4Lpo5g&bvm=bv.41867550,d.aWc
[22:08] <l057c0d3r> bah..  thats a long link.. probably wrong one
[22:08] <serodronin> so should I even bother setting up a drive for ubuntu on windows IE putting ona MBR/GPT?
[22:08] <serodronin> or should I let ubuntu install manager do that
[22:08] <serodronin> as of now its a factory fresh drive
[22:08] <l057c0d3r> serodroni.. i use the wubi installer.. and install it like any other program from windows
[22:08] <l057c0d3r> with the use of simlinks....
[22:09] <guideX> ubuntu installs fairly seemlessly "into" windows
[22:09] <guideX> windows treats it like a program that can be uninstalled
[22:09] <guideX> pretty neat :)
[22:09] <serodronin> thats VM though?
[22:09] <l057c0d3r> you can share folders between windows and linux.. making it where you have one set of music / pictuers / videos shared between both systems
[22:09] <guideX> nope
[22:09] <guideX> so when you first turn on your pc, it asks you, widnows or linux
[22:09] <ThinkT510> wubi is not a long term solution, more of a test drive really before installing ubuntu properly
[22:10] <l057c0d3r> ThinkT510, yeah...  well i've been using the same wubi install for a very long time now and it runs fast.. and works just fine
[22:10] <guideX> hmm.. I've had ubuntu installed like that for a long time, is it not a recommended practice?
[22:11] <l057c0d3r> simlinks to the host folder help remove the drive space limitation of 30gb
[22:11] <l057c0d3r> gain full access to the tb that way....
[22:11] <tinashaw76> hello all, I was hoping someone could help me with an nvidia driver issue.  I've been working on this most of the day with no luck.  I'm running a fresh install of 12.04.1 and have a GTX 670 gpu.  I've installed the 310 nvidia drivers with jockey, but my gpu isn't being recognized / used.  Any suggestions about how to resolve this issue?
[22:14] <l057c0d3r> heh well i'm going back to netflix now :-)  this has been a great day for me...  you all take it easy...
[22:14] <drumroll> Hi, I just installed 12.10 onto a HDD with Windows 8, selected "Install alongside Windows", went through installation and rebooted - but it boots straight into Windows still. I tried using a program called EasyBCD to add an entry to the windows bootloader that points to the linux boot partition, but I just get a prompt that says "Grub> " and I don't know what to do
[22:14] <tinashaw76> is there a windows entry in the grub menu?
[22:16] <invariant> Is it normal that I have /usr/lib{32,64,} (the extra comma is there on purpose)?
[22:16] <invariant> I am getting messages like dpkg-shlibdeps:error:couldn't find library libc.so.6 needed by debian/fglrx/usr/lib/fglrx/bin/fglrxinfo from the amd installer.
[22:17] <drumroll> tinashaw76: there is no grub menu
[22:17] <drumroll> tinashaw76: it's like grub didn't even install.
[22:18] <Billybeagle> anyone got some time help me set up Vhosts? I just went though a tutorial and it didnt work. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts
[22:20] <dennot> When I press "e" on the grub menu, it lets me edit the settings for the next boot.  How do I change those settings permanently?
[22:22] <tinashaw76> dennot:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1548780
[22:22] <tinashaw76> drumroll:  when i was dual-booting, I was running windows / linux, but I installed windows first then linux
[22:23] <tinashaw76> I always booted into a grub menu
[22:23] <tinashaw76> the default was to boot into linux
[22:23] <dennot> thanks tinashaw76
[22:23] <tinashaw76> and i had to scroll down to get to the windows entry
[22:23] <zombie05> updating the kernel to 3.6.9 added the driver correctly
[22:23] <tinashaw76> but it sounds like that's not the issue with yours
[22:23] <zombie05> and fixed header issues
[22:23] <tinashaw76> np denno
[22:23] <tinashaw76> t
[22:24] <drumroll> tinashaw76: I installed windows first, then linux, just like you said. And I've done it before too with no problems. But I've never done it over Windows 8
[22:24] <tinashaw76> neither have i, only win 7
[22:25] <tinashaw76> anyone know of a channel to get some GPU / Ubuntu advice in regards to nvidia?
[22:25] <auronandace> !uefi | drumroll
[22:26] <tinashaw76> hmmm
[22:26] <tinashaw76> !nvidia | tinashaw76
[22:26] <tinashaw76> lol, nice
[22:30] <seer> hello
[22:31] <seer> hello?
[22:31] <CraftyBanardo> Hello!
[22:31] <seer> yes
[22:31] <seer> good
[22:31] <seer> hi
[22:31] <seer> i am a new ubuntu user
[22:32] <seer> so new i havent even downloaded it yet
[22:32] <nervo46> Welcome to Ubuntu!
[22:32] <seer> anybody wii\lling to give me a crash course on it?
[22:32] <py_can> If I have a .tar file, I can add files to them like this "tar -rf <tarname> <file_to_insert>"... Can I also specify where in the tar file the file i inserted will end up (hierarchy) ? Because If I add a file from /home/bla that hierarchy will be in my tar file too :) Couldnt find anything in my man pages
[22:34] <nervo46> It is way to large a thing to give a crash course on over IRC... I would recommend you just install it and start hacking away.  There are dozens of tuts online as well.
[22:35] <tinashaw76> maybe I'm missing something, I've read through the ubuntu nvidia install help, but when I install the latest nvidia drivers, and modprobe nvidia_experimental_310, it still says that the driver is not in use... ?  anyone have any experience with this?
[22:36] <tinashaw76> py_can:  can you cd into the directory where the file you want to add resides, then give an absolute path to the tar?
[22:36] <seer_> huh?
[22:37] <py_can> tinashaw76: oh yeah, that would probably work :-) But, I'm sure there is a command-line argument for it. I will search further.
[22:37] <Gumby> hi all.  does anyone know how to start "startup disk creator" from the command line?
[22:37] <nervo46> tinashaw76: Maybe try and run /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig
[22:38] <whjms> Gumby: usb-creator ?
[22:38] <David-A> seer_: yes, download, install. then it is ready to use. then the next 2 things to do for better experience is install package ubuntu-restricted-extras, and check "additional hardware drivers" in system settings.
[22:38] <Gumby> gah, nevermind
[22:38] <Gumby> "startup-disk-creator"
[22:38] <nervo46> tinashaw76: That should setup X to see it, then prob. a reboot.
[22:38] <whjms> d'oh
[22:38] <Gumby> oh wait, nevermind.. that was a Q on a forum, not an answer
[22:38] <cop> hallo?
[22:39] <Gumby> usb-creator-gtk
[22:39] <seer_> aye david-a
[22:39] <designbybeck_> A way to view RAW/CR2 files as thumbnails in Natalis? Ubuntu 12.10?
[22:39] <Gumby> whjms: technically you're correct too
[22:39] <tinashaw76> nervo46:  i've actually tried this already as well, it generates an xorg.conf file but when i reboot, it comes back to an atrocious resolution
[22:39] <platius> seer_> http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_Quantal   nice info herer
[22:39] <Gumby> :)
[22:39] <cop> can anyone help me regarding a resolution problem?
[22:40] <seer_> i wanna know about the postive and negatives and if i should leave windows forever?
[22:40] <whjms> cop: just ask away
[22:40] <tinashaw76> nervo46:  and i can't edit anything from the nvidia settings, it just tells me the same thing you just suggested
[22:40] <tinashaw76> cop:  maybe, whats the issue
[22:40] <cop> it is very complicated so i will start writing then  hold on :p
[22:40] <David-A> seer_: try it first, e.g. with dual boot. then decide if to leave windows.
[22:41] <nothingspecial> seer_: you might want to try the forums for a bunch of opinions
[22:41] <nervo46> tinashaw: Sorry to hear. I actually built a box and installed the Nvidia drivers today... but just grabbed the current version through Ubuntu Software Center.
[22:42] <tinashaw76> nervo:  what GPU are you using?
[22:42] <Gumby> seer_: the answer really depends on how you use your PC
[22:42] <nervo46> tinashaw76: After that, I ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted and did a 'lsmod | grep -i nvidia' and verified it was all good.
[22:42] <Gumby> seer_: what apps you run on a daily basis etc
[22:42] <tinashaw76> also, did you use 12.04 or 12.10?
[22:42] <cr2222> hi! i have installed ubuntu and then installed the nvidia driver. Since this compiz is crashing on every startup so i have no window manager. is there a possibility to deactivate compiz?
[22:42] <cop> some familly of mine drove over here labtop and crashed the screen, so i figured im going to install ubuntu on the labtop and connect the extarnal screen via hdmi pardon my english i am from belgium. so everything works except for the resolution it is to big so it is very hard to work with the pc like this
[22:43] <seer_> i play alot of games and i love trying out new software and hardware
[22:43] <BillyZane2> EVERYONE
[22:43] <Osakasa^> seer, positive: you get newest version of ubuntu for free. very customiseble (see different desktop enviromet and compiz). Negative: games (wine helps for that)
[22:43] <cop> i only use it for movies with vlc
[22:43] <BillyZane2> EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where's Dr_willis
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Cop: what video chip does it use?
[22:43] <BillyZane2> everyone
[22:43] <whjms> BillyZane: who?
[22:43] <BillyZane2> Everyone listen closely.....
[22:43] <cop> video chip right
[22:43] <cop> uhm
[22:44] <BillyZane2> I.... the n00b at linux... solved a problem on my own
[22:44] <BillyZane2> today is a day to cry
[22:44] <whjms> cop: lspci | grep vga should give you a hint
[22:44] <BillyZane2> I DID IT!!!
[22:44] <cop> do i show you xranr?
[22:44] <BillyZane2> i feel so high right now
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Cop: sudo lshw -C display      will tell you
[22:44] <nervo46> tinashaw76: I'm running 12.10.
[22:44] <tinashaw76> ahh, k
[22:44] <tinashaw76> 12.04 here
[22:44] <nervo46> tinashaw76: My graphics card is a GeForce GTX 560i
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Seer:  try urban terror :-)
[22:45] <nervo46> er 560 Ti I mean
[22:45] <seer_> what is that?
[22:45] <cop> vga
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Seer: a game
[22:45] <whjms> seer_: kinda like cs, right?
[22:46] <seer_> cs?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Cop: can you paste the product line for the video chip please
[22:46] <whjms> seer_: counter-strike
[22:46] <seer_> <<<< noooooby noob
[22:46] <whjms> heh
[22:46] <cop> Radeon Mobility HD 3670
[22:46] <rcube> Hi all.  I have a ubuntu 12.04 server that I set up for development. I have a service running on port 9933.  I can connect to that port on localhost but when I try to connect to that port from an different machine on the same local network the connection is refused.  The firewall on the ubuntu box is the obvious culprit but I'm having trouble disabling it and it appears as though it should be allowing all traffic anyhow.  Help please!! =)
[22:46] <seer_> oh, its a game?
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Cop: and if you run:  cat /etc/issue    what is the output?
[22:47] <serodr0nin> so I booted to ubuntu disk and was looking around before installing and after a reboot my computer wont even display bios :((
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Seer: I thought you pks
[22:47] <cop> Ubuntu 11.04 \
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Seer played a lot of games
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Cop: natty is no longer supported.  I suggest a clean install of Precise
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> Serodr0nin: ubuntu will not modify your bios
[22:49] <cop> like complete format?
[22:49] <serodr0nin> yeah I know I dont understand what happened I didn't modify anything I just tried rebooting after booting to ubuntu disk and I have nothing :(
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> Cop: I would,  yes
[22:49] <cop> aw ok
[22:49] <serodr0nin> I've tried rebooting clearing cmos, unplugging excess drives
[22:50] <cop> i thought apt-get upgrade allways upgraded to most recent
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> Cop: you'd need to upgrade to 11.10 then to 12.04
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Cop: apt-get upgrade    keeps you on the same release but updates the packages to the latest for that release
[22:52] <cop> aha ok
[22:52] <cop> thats a bummer
[22:52] <cop> bit weird so everyone has to do a clean install if they want the newest distroµ
[22:53] <jrib> cop: no, it's just a different command to upgrade to a new release
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Cop: you can upgrade but it'll take you a long time with a lot of data
[22:53] <daze> is it normal to use /var/lib/<daemon-name> as a home dir for application users?
[22:54] <jrib> daze: yes
[22:54] <daze> ok, thanks ;)
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> Cop: clean install will give the OS as it is intended. It also supported 5 years
[22:54] <cop> ok i thank you both for your time
[22:54] <luminous> hello, is there anything simple, like mail in bsd, that could be used from the command line to send an email for testing? not like mutt, simpler, like mail -s hello<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:54] <jrib> daze: wait, what do you mean by "application users"?
[22:55] <daze> in this case, deluged
[22:55] <whjms> luminous: mailx might help
[22:55] <cop> problem is its a hustle with this extended screen
[22:55] <luminous> whjms: I was wondering about mailx, but apt didn't have a description
[22:55] <jrib> daze: yes
[22:55] <luminous> I'll check it out, thanks
[22:55] <cop> im on the edge of my wifi so connection is slow aswell
[22:55] <daze> good. thanks again, jrib ;]
[22:55] <PapaJacky> guys
[22:56] <PapaJacky> if the russians nuke us, there'd be great casualties
[22:56] <whjms> luminous: check the man page for info on setting up an account
[22:56] <cop> maybe i just download the newest one and install it via usb, thanks again i will do that
[22:56] <whjms> PapaJacky: what?
[22:56] <luminous> whjms: useradd?
[22:56] <PapaJacky> there's like 1500 people packed on this tiny channel
[22:56] <PapaJacky> if the russians nuked us, that'd be a huge hit to the resistance
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> Papajacky: this is support only, please take it elsewhere
[22:56] <luminous> whjms: do you also happen to know how ubuntu handles aliases, or where I could read more about this?
[22:56] <PapaJacky> :v
[22:56] <serodronin> got it to boot bak into windows. computer being finicky
[22:57] <whjms> luminous: no, you have to set up an email account separately (i think in your config file). as for aliases, what do you mean?
[22:57] <Guest48826> d
[22:57] <cop> quit
[22:57] <gelph> serodronin maybe glance at http://is.gd/NHF9Jt
[22:58] <luminous> whjms: tradional bsd/unix has /etc/mail/aliases which points accounts/usernames/email addys to one another the way you like. so, for example, mail sent to root, from the system, could be delivered to another (external) address. don't you receive updates from your systems on their health? :P
[22:58] <gelph> So launchpad uses only bazaar version control system?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Gelph: i'd ask in #launchpad
[22:59] <whjms> luminous: i never got that deep into system administration (all i've got is my desktop pc) :)
[22:59] <luminous> whjms: hah, so apt says that mailx is a virtual package and that you need to install either bsd-mail, mailutils, or heirloom-mailx. bsd-mail wants postfix, and mailutils has this set of deps:   guile-1.8-libs{a} libgsasl7{a} libmailutils2{a} libmysqlclient18{a} libntlm0{a} mailutils mysql-common{a} postfix{a}
[23:00] <luminous> fortunately, heirloom-mailx is what you think it is
[23:00] <whjms> huh.
[23:00] <gelph> ActionParsnip couldn't do a list channel in xchat to find the channel, couldn't do web search for "freenode channel list" either
[23:00] <luminous> why does apt have to be so confusing.. why was mailx virtual then? so silly
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> ! Alis | gelph
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Luminous: its so that you have choice. Pretty standard in Ubuntu
[23:03] <luminous> I see
[23:03] <bel3atar> what's the commandline to run software center?
[23:03] <luminous> ActionParsnip: do you know what ubuntu does for mail aliases?
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Bel3atar: gksudo software-center
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Luminous: not ran ubuntu as a mail server. Sorry
[23:05] <designbybeck_> In case anyone else had a problem viewing RAW camera images in Ubuntu, Simply installing gnome-thumbnail-raw doesn't do it. But adding this afterwards fixed it for me: http://www.tipsandtux.org/wordpress/raw-cr2-image-preview-in-nautilus-on-ubuntu-11-10.html
[23:06] <genoobie> hey all
[23:06] <genoobie> I have a thinkpad T21
[23:06] <luminous> ActionParsnip: thanks anyway :)
[23:07] <genoobie> Gnea, hello
[23:09] <genoobie> well anyway the problem is running flash on it
[23:09] <genoobie> flash + chromium = nogo
[23:10] <OerHeks> designbybeck_, i use Darktable for RAW images, but your problem was seeing preview in nautilus?
[23:10] <genoobie> so I was here yesterday and scotty^ and Gnea were helping me out and they suggested part of the problem might be the video driver
[23:10] <bel3atar> express.paltalk doesn't have any sound, and paltalk in wine freezes
[23:10] <designbybeck_> correct. I too use Darktable for RAW and love it OerHeks ;)
[23:10] <genoobie> I wanted to install 12.10 (this is a recent install) but the video would not work correctly
[23:11] <genoobie> so there's kind of a problem
[23:11] <genoobie> I'd like to install 12.10 but I can't get the video to work correctly
[23:11] <genoobie> not sure about how to fix it
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> Genoobie: what GPU do you have?
[23:11] <genoobie> ActionParsnip, S3 Savage IX
[23:12] <genoobie> the machine is currently using savagefb as the driver
[23:12] <genoobie> and gallium 0.4 on softpipe
[23:12] <genoobie> for rendering
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Genoobie: not seen those for a while
[23:14] <genoobie> ActionParsnip, yep, it's older, but that's not the reason it shouldn't work :)
[23:14] <Peyam> hi
[23:14] <Peyam> how do I move windows from premier monitor to the second monitor using xubuntu?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> Genoobie: sure. Lubuntu will do well
[23:17] <bel3atar> what distro should I try after ubuntu?
[23:18] <jey> what do you mean "should"?
[23:18] <whjms> bel3atar: arch linux is good if you want to learn more about linux
[23:18] <xangua> bel3atar: whathever you want, it's your choice not ours
[23:18] <whjms> bel3atar: of course, you could go crazy and switch to gentoo
[23:18] <jey> bel3atar: presumably you have some criteria or objective that will influence the choice. (e.g., for me the answer is "i hope nothing, so i can stop futzing with the OS and get back to work")
[23:18] <bel3atar> whjms: I've been on arch for a year now...
[23:19] <bel3atar> jey: just for fun
[23:19] <jey> bel3atar: buildroot
[23:19] <jey> buildroot is more of a meta-distro than a distro though
[23:19] <bel3atar> jey: embedded?
[23:20] <Shirakawasuna> I just wanted some confirmation... I ran some HD tests and GSmartControl (smartmontools) is showing 6 attributes in the pre-failure category (and I'm seeing read errors on a regular basis). Is it safe to assume that my drive is failure, versus having a software (kernel) bug?
[23:20] <whjms> so buildroot is somewhat similar to lfs?
[23:20] <jey> bel3atar: yes, but I used it on x86
[23:20] <bel3atar> Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy to generate a complete embedded Linux system.
[23:20] <bel3atar> Buildroot?
[23:21] <jey> whjms: no, the point of buildroot isn't "do everything by hand" -- it's to have the same amount of flexibility as "do everything by hand" but without all the trouble
[23:21] <whjms> oh, cool
[23:21] <lopez_> hi my english is bad but good, on boot ubuntu 12.04 with pendrive say error busybox and initramfs
[23:21] <jey> bel3atar: yes, buildroot on x86, for a kiosk-type of application with a low power Intel Atom board
[23:22] <nicekiwi> so uhm.. ive locked myself out of my VPS.. i have emergency access to SSH root, but im not sure howto fix it.. help?
[23:22] <jey> nicekiwi: define "locked myself out"
[23:23] <jey> this place has remarkably low traffic for having 1700 clients
[23:23] <genoobie> heh
[23:24] <nicekiwi> jey, I cant ssh in. connection is refuse.. have had a look at my sshd_config file.. seems to have a few issues :/
[23:24] <micro_-> nicekiwi: could you plastebin your sshd_config file?
[23:25] <micro_-> or you cant connect to the VPS at all?
[23:25] <nearst> hi ppl :)
[23:26] <usr13> nicekiwi: pastebinit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[23:26] <nicekiwi> micro_-, yup
[23:26] <usr13> and send resulting URL, here
[23:27] <micro_-> nicekiwi: if you cannot access your VPS and perform any actions, i suggest you contact your VPS administrator and ask for a recovery
[23:27] <nicekiwi> micro_-, recovery what?
[23:27] <nicekiwi> micro_-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1602983/
[23:27] <Gumby> nicekiwi: does your VPS have an admin console where you can connect to a shell?
[23:28] <nicekiwi> micro_-, as I said i have emergewncy access to root via ssh
[23:28] <nicekiwi> Gumby, yes
[23:28] <user___> Can someone assist me, I'm having a small crisis.
[23:28] <micro_-> nicekiwi; i see, and what happens if you try to ssh to it?
[23:28] <usr13> nicekiwi: You arent trying to ssh in as root are you?  ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[23:28] <nicekiwi> user___, ask away, dont ask to ask :)
[23:28] <huttan> nicekiwi: that will only allow one user, called: ezra
[23:28] <tinashaw76> user___ whats up?
[23:28] <TheLordOfTime> user___:  you need to provide details first :P
[23:29] <entreri> hey there, I'm looking to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu on an old netbook, which one is lighter ?
[23:29] <user___> I have a Mac formatted usb stick, that says I cannot access due to permissions.  I just installed Ubuntu today.
[23:29] <user___> It tells me I am not the owner.
[23:29] <huttan> nicekiwi: either add ur user with a space between on that line, or remove the line completely if u want anyone to be able to ssh in
[23:29] <nicekiwi> usr13, yes I am.
[23:29] <usr13> nicekiwi: Well, that's why your getting rejected.
[23:29] <nicekiwi> micro_-, ssh: connect to host *****.com port 22: Connection refused
[23:30] <nicekiwi> usr13, correct. however i created a new user to use and I cant access with that either
[23:30] <bel3atar> nicekiwi: hosts don't have stars
[23:31] <micro_-> nicekiwi; do you get a response if you ping it?
[23:31] <nicekiwi> bel3atar, neither do darleks
[23:31] <micro_-> bel3atar; he is masking the ip
[23:31] <huttan> nicekiwi: is ur ssh server even running ? u shouldnt be refused
[23:31] <user___> How would I just enable permissions on that usb stick (Formatted Mac OS X Extended Journaled)
[23:31] <nicekiwi> huttan, it is running
[23:31] <micro_-> entreri; try xfce ubuntu its based on xfce
[23:31] <nicekiwi> micro_-, i can ping the server successfully
[23:31] <tinashaw76> user___:  you can try sudo chown <your user id> <mount point of usb>
[23:32] <micro_-> nicekiwi; how about telnet SERVERIP 22
[23:32] <huttan> nicekiwi: if u telnet the.ip.with.ssh 22
[23:32] <huttan> nicekiwi: what does it say ?
[23:32] <micro_-> nicekiwi; did you change your firewall / iptables settings?
[23:32] <entreri> micro_-: I really need to know only between ubuntu or kubuntu, xubuntu or lubntu are not enough user-friendly in their GUI IMO
[23:33] <nicekiwi> micro_-, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[23:33] <usr13> nicekiwi: Run nmap against it and see if it's blocked.  nmap -p 22 ###.###.##.#
[23:33] <micro_-> entreri; it is hard to say, gnome-terminal is not what gnome-classic used to be, try to diable all visual effects
[23:33] <nicekiwi> micro_-, no. O only disabled root remote login and allowed the user ezra
[23:33] <Gumby> nicekiwi: on the VPS do netstat -tpan |grep 22
[23:34] <Gumby> see if sshd is even running
[23:34] <Nils_> Hello Guys
[23:34] <Nils_> Can I ask for help here?
[23:34] <tinashaw76> Nils_: yes
[23:34] <usr13> nicekiwi: If it says  "22/tcp open  ssh" it is not blocked.
[23:34] <micro_-> nicekiwi; could you please 'netstat -noa |grep :22' and see if there is a 'LISTEN' on port 22
[23:34] <user___> Where is the Terminal in Ubuntu?
[23:34] <user___> 12.10
[23:34] <bel3atar> when I change themes in unity nothing changes
[23:35] <bel3atar> why?
[23:35] <Nils_> I just got a new laptop from ebay. A Thinkpad T500 and I got problems installing the right drivers for my graphics card
[23:35] <tinashaw76> user___ click the ubuntu image and start typing terminal
[23:35] <nicekiwi> usr13, it says closed
[23:35] <micro_-> user___; use ALT+f2 -> type 'terminal'
[23:35] <bel3atar> give the package name of a theme
[23:35] <Nils_> Many applications including steam won't run
[23:35] <nicekiwi> micro_-, on the server?
[23:35] <joshlegs> user___, ctrl-alt-T got it for me i thought
[23:35] <huttan> nicekiwi: u need someone to get on the server and start it, or if u can access it via remote console :)
[23:35] <Nils_> and while trying to install I always get errors
[23:35] <nicekiwi> huttan, start what?
[23:36] <huttan> nicekiwi: sshd
[23:36] <nicekiwi> huttan, it is started
[23:36] <nicekiwi> i think :/
[23:36] <huttan> nicekiwi: if it was started u wouldnt get refused
[23:36] <micro_-> nicekiwi; if you do 'ps ax|grep sshd' do you get a proccess?
[23:36] <bel3atar> nm
[23:36] <Gryffin> Question regarding LinuxLive: Does it create a bootable installer, or a bootable persistent drive? Anyone?
[23:36] <Nils_> I think there is a problem with something called fgxlr
[23:36] <huttan> nicekiwi: if it was filtered it could refuse u. but it isnt since it says closed
[23:37] <Gumby> nicekiwi: what is the output of service ssh status
[23:37] <nicekiwi> Gumby, ssh stop/waiting
[23:37] <Gumby> service ssh restart
[23:37] <huttan> nicekiwi: do you have any other way to access ur server other than ssh ?
[23:37] <Nils_> Any advise?
[23:38] <micro_-> Nils_; fglrx is the graphics driver of ATI
[23:38] <usr13> nicekiwi: closed probably means that sshd is not running, (or not listening).
[23:38] <nicekiwi> huttan, uhh what do you mean?
[23:38] <Gumby> I'm not convinced he has accessed it using ssh.  I think it is maybe a console he connects to via a web interface.  But then again, I could be totally wrong
[23:38] <nicekiwi> micro_-,  5324 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto sshd
[23:38] <huttan> nicekiwi: like a remote console through esxi
[23:38] <nicekiwi> Gumby, i have access via a web interface correct
[23:38] <micro_-> nicekiwi; do what Gumby said run 'service sshd start'
[23:39] <micro_-> it should fix the issue
[23:39] <huttan> nicekiwi: if they provided u with a web interface to deal with services , start sshd there and ur off
[23:39] <nicekiwi> huttan, not really. its not starting
[23:39] <Gumby> nicekiwi: that web interface is not ssh, it is just connecting via a terminal.  ssh does not appear to be started
[23:39] <nicekiwi> Gumby, sshd is not a service, ssh is but can not start'
[23:39] <Gumby> (just an fyi)
[23:40] <Gryffin> Any experts in LinuxLive here?
[23:40] <Gumby> nicekiwi: why can it not start?
[23:40] <nicekiwi> Gumby, ssh does startm but when i check its status it says stop/waiting
[23:40] <Gumby> any errors?
[23:40] <huttan> nicekiwi: u need to email the ppl providing the VPS for you and ask them to start sshd for you then
[23:40] <nicekiwi> no obvious errors
[23:40] <Gumby> does your VPS have an IP ?
[23:40] <nicekiwi> yes
[23:40] <Gumby> I mean, can you view its IP using ipconfig ?
[23:40] <Gumby> errr
[23:41] <Gumby> ifconfig
[23:41] <usr13> Gumby: On a Ubuntu system, it will be just ssh (not sshd).
[23:41] <Gumby> damn windows world
[23:41] <user___> Terminal won't open.
[23:41] <user___> alt, f2, typed terminal, double clicked on gears icon, nothing happens.
[23:41] <nicekiwi> Gumby, yup
[23:41] <usr13> user___: Ctrl-Alt-t
[23:42] <user___> yay, magic
[23:42] <whjms> user___: type gnome-terminal instead. 'terminal' is the name of the application, but 'gnome-terminal' is the actual executable
[23:42] <usr13> user___: (gnome-terminal)
[23:42] <user___> So how would I enable permissions of a USB stick again?  What command do I use?
[23:42] <Gumby> usr13: technically it is still sshd (sshd is the daemon, ssh is the init script) but I get what you're saying.
[23:43] <whjms> user___: you'd have to use chmod
[23:43] <usr13> Gumby: Yea, but it'll show up in service as just ssh
[23:43] <Ghost1227> Can anyone point me to a reference on making deb packages?
[23:43] <micro_-> nicekiwi; try 'service ssh start' what do you get back?
[23:43] <Gumby> usr13: and in ps as sshd ;)
[23:43] <whjms> Ghost1227: http://debian-handbook.info/
[23:43] <nearst> my ati driver is dying
[23:43] <nicekiwi> micro_-, ssh start/running, process 5414
[23:44] <huttan> nicekiwi: what happen if u telnet to 22 now ?
[23:44] <micro_-> Ghost1227; http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+make+deb+package
[23:44] <user___> What would be the exact command?
[23:44] <micro_-> user___; try xterm
[23:44] <Gumby> nicekiwi: were you fooling with the ssh config files before this all got messed up?
[23:44] <usr13> Gumby: Yes, you are correct, the actual name is sshd  and so if you do either  ps aux |grep ssh  or ps aux |grep sshd
[23:44] <user___> I'm new at this, I have almost no experiance.
[23:44] <nicekiwi> huttan, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[23:45] <nicekiwi> Gumby, yes. i wouldnt say fooling..
[23:45] <whjms> user___: what's the filesystem on the drive?
[23:45] <micro_-> user___; its ok, try to go through first-time guides, use google
[23:45] <user___> Mac OS X Extended Journaled
[23:45] <Gumby> nicekiwi: on the VPS itself what does telnet localhost 22 tell you?
[23:45] <nicekiwi> Gumby, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[23:46] <micro_-> nicekiwi; do you have a firewall/iptables set up?
[23:46] <Gumby> nicekiwi: ok, so basically it appears your ssh config is fubar
[23:46] <micro_-> i agree with Gumby
[23:46] <Madaramost> hi all
[23:46] <Gumby> you could start fresh by purging the openssh-server package and reinstalling
[23:46] <micro_-> nicekiwi; email your VPS support they will fix it
[23:47] <detrimental> Is there a good guide to installing linux beside windows using gpt partition table?
[23:47] <huttan> Gumby: how is he telnetting his VPS localhost if he cant get in ??
[23:47] <micro_-> detrimental; you could install linux inside a virtual machine, check virtualbox.org
[23:47] <nicekiwi> micro_-, no iptables of friewall
[23:47] <whjms> user___: using a drive with the osx filesystem might be a little tricky...i'm not quite sure what to do.
[23:47] <nicekiwi> Gumby, yup :/
[23:47] <Gumby> huttan: his VPS provides a web interface that connects to a tty
[23:47] <huttan> ohh
[23:47] <detrimental> i had linux and deleted to reinstall windows as i needed it for school
[23:48] <user___> I just need to copy the files from the stick to the hard drive.  lol wow this is hard
[23:48] <detrimental> i left 250gb for linux already.
[23:48] <whjms> detrimental: that's unfortunate
[23:48] <Madaramost> how i know space my disck ?
[23:48] <whjms> user___: what happens if you try to open it in 'Files'?
[23:48] <detrimental> i know, i couldnt get office 2010 working correctly
[23:48] <dr_willis> Madaramost:  df   command
[23:48] <micro_-> detrimental; with linux you should use libreoffice
[23:48] <bel3atar> I need a tutorial to resize my ubuntu partition and reconfigure grub
[23:48] <Gumby> nicekiwi: apt-get purge openssh-server then double check to make sure that /etc/ssh/sshd_config is gone, then apt-get install openssh-server
[23:48] <user___> It tells me I don't have permissions, only some folders though, not all of them.  Seems the folders were copied directly from Mac's home folder.
[23:48] <Madaramost> thanks <dr_willis>
[23:48] <detrimental> i NEED microsoft for school
[23:49] <Gumby> or if you prefer, backup /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[23:49] <Gumby> nicekiwi: ^^
[23:49] <micro_-> detrimental; ok, i suggest installing linux inside a virtual machine as i stated before using vmware play or virtualbox
[23:49] <user___> The folders that were directly copied aren't accesable, the folders that were created by me are.
[23:49] <detrimental> and failed at getting everything working on linux so installed windows 8 how it came using gpt partition table and now need to install linux beside it.
[23:50] <detrimental> i dont want a virtual machine...
[23:50] <whjms> user___: if you right click on the folders, what does it say under the permissions section?
[23:50] <detrimental> i use linux primarily
[23:50] <detrimental> i cant stand this windows 8 so only use it for office.
[23:50] <micro_-> detrimental; ok so just burn the linux installation .iso to a disk, boot it and install it side-by-side on the 250g partition you created
[23:50] <bel3atar> id I have windows and ubuntu side by side, and I resize the partitions, do I need to reconfigure grub?
[23:50] <user___> Owner: 99 - user #99
[23:50] <user___> all greyed out
[23:50] <bel3atar> s/id/if
[23:50] <huttan> nicekiwi: the [23:50] <huttan> nicekiwi: might give u trouble
[23:50] <detrimental> ok what about the windows boot mgr
[23:50] <user___> You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions.
[23:51] <detrimental> i just need a partition scheme
[23:51] <dr_willis> bel3atar: perhaps.. dependa on what you did
[23:51] <detrimental> it being gpt and using fat32
[23:51] <bel3atar> dr_willis: resize
[23:51] <Madaramost> can i install ubuntu studio in win 8 ?
[23:51] <whjms> user___: ok, so now you have to change the owner of the directory to be you
[23:51] <user___> Right.  I just need the Terminal command and I think I'll be set.
[23:51] <detrimental> alls i need is /boot/efi flagged boot and /boot flagged legacy boot i believe
[23:52] <genoobie> hey all
[23:52] <detrimental> im just trying to make sure before i do it
[23:52] <genoobie> anyone install quetzal on an ibm thinkpad?
[23:52] <genoobie> running into problems...
[23:52] <genoobie> video problems
[23:52] <whjms> user___: you're going to have to use 'sudo' for it. 'cd' to directory in which your copied directory is. ex. if the copied dir is in ~/desktop/files, cd to 'desktop'
[23:53] <user___> copied directory as in the usb stick? or the folder I want that data
[23:54] <whjms> user___: ok, so just make a directory on your desktop, and copy the files from the drive to that folder
[23:54] <Vallhalla81> Hello all, a while ago I used a distro (I can;t rember what one), one of the features was that you could log in as another user or the same one with full gui/desktop in a window in the current session, does anyone know what program can be used to do this?
[23:54] <detrimental> ok well thanks for just suggesting use vm when i asked a question spacific to partitioning gpt beside windows. guess im better off just figuring it out on my own than asking here.
[23:54] <dr_willis> Vallhalla81: xnest  perhaps
[23:55] <Vallhalla81> dr_willis: thanks I will have a look
[23:55] <dr_willis> Vallhalla81: it can alos be done with vnc
[23:55] <Vallhalla81> Yeah not a fan of vnc though
[23:55] <user___> So I move to the USB stick directory.
[23:56] <cardiel> someone know why i get poor video quality on 12.04 when playing xvid,h264 movies?
[23:56] <Physicist> Hello, dr_willis. How can I erase a pathetic root account without the pathetic password?
[23:56] <jrib> nicekiwi: what are you typing to connect?
[23:56] <Gumby> nicekiwi: how'd it go?
[23:56] <nicekiwi> jr, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[23:57] <dr_willis> Physicist: live cd or recovery mode
[23:57] <user___> How do I "cd" in Terminal to the USB stick?
[23:57] <jrib> nicekiwi: but didn't you paste a config where only the user "ezra" was allowed to ssh?
[23:57] <whjms> user___: don't cd to the usb stick. can't you copy those files to your pc using nautilus?
[23:58] <fellayaboy> hey if i set the dns using the gui network manager will it set it for all the wifis or just the network/router im connected to?
[23:58] <nicekiwi> Gumby, reinstalled openssh-server after purging it. backuped the sshd_config file and restored it. ssh wont restart after that, now gonna restore the new sshd_config and see if it starts right
[23:58] <ftruzzi> anyone knows how to set up VNC so that the unity starts? the default xstartup script only displays a grey screen, nothing inside it
[23:58] <Physicist> dr_willis: Are you of the Ubuntu team management?
[23:58] <nicekiwi> jrib, yeah well<EMAIL_ADDRESS>dosnt work either
[23:58] <user___> Is nautilis built into Ubuntu?
[23:58] <dr_willis> Physicist:  no
[23:58] <whjms> user___: yeah, it should show up as 'Files'
[23:58] <user___> It won't let me copy, move, or access.
[23:59] <dr_willis> user___: its the file manager
[23:59] <whjms> user___: oh
[23:59] <nicekiwi> huttan, removed the [23:59] <jrib> nicekiwi: so are you able to "ssh ezra@localhost" on the server directly?
[23:59] <user___> Yea, ok.  It says I don't have permissions to copy, move, read, nothing.
[23:59] <user___> I can just see the folders.
[23:59] <jrib> nicekiwi: I didn't realize Gumby was still helping you.  I'll let you carry on.
[23:59] <whjms> user___: what happens if you run 'gksu nautilus' and then try to copy files? it should ask you for your password


[00:34] <fusion1181> After setting the panel in to edit mode I am unable to right-click on the panel to add widgets. Also, on the main screen, I am unable to set the desktop in to edit mode but on the other screen I am able to.
[00:34] <fusion1181> Where can I look at the logs to see what the issue is?
[00:35] <fusion1181> I am running KDE5 under X11
[00:36] <fusion1181> I also get an error org.kde.plasma.private.pager is missing
[01:04] <fusion1181> I have removed the panel but still the same behaviour (actually worse because now I can't right-click to show only applications on that screen)
[02:09] <cunningstuff> whew been a grip since i registered an IRC nick
[02:09] <cunningstuff> Hello everyone, new here
[07:10] <Spring> Is there any other way to install a newer version of Python besides adding the deadsnakes repo? I have a VM that's on an older Kubuntu and despite the sources.list pointing to the old releases URLs for compatibility apt still throws an error about not being able to make a secure connection with hirsute for the deadsnakes repo when using `apt-add-repository`.
[13:47] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:58] <user|17> how i can remove kubuntu from my pc
