[00:00] <billybobo231> ScottG whats up?
[00:00] <Scotty> ScottG: What's the problem?
[00:00] <Scotty> Hehe.
[00:07] <ScottG> Got home from work, wife tells me she can only get 640X480 on our Kubuntu 7.10 64 bit PC.
[00:07] <ScottG> I ran the reconfigure X command (don't recall it all) and got my 1280X1024 back but no 3D.. now when I install Nvidia restricted drivers it breaks X again.
[00:12] <agorecki> You might try deleting Xorg's configuration file: the Xorg server should automatically choose the best settings for your hardware
[00:12] <MGalaxy> Scotty: ardchoille: can u PLZ suggest me an alternative for KDE Menu applet ?
[00:12] <ScottG> I'll give it a try
[00:13] <ardchoille> MGalaxy: kbfx is the only thing I can recommend: sudo apt-get install kbfx
[00:13] <nosrednaekim> try kickoff
[00:13] <ardchoille> MGalaxy: And you might also be interested in the kubuntu-artwork-kbfx package
[00:14] <Scotty> MGalaxy, as said, kbfx and kickoff are options and truthfully the only two I know of. I prefer kbfx, but they're both worth a try.
[00:14] <MGalaxy> thx
[00:15] <mahasamoot> I just installed winXP into a QEMU/KVM.  There were a lot of compicated instructions about how to set up networking... but windows can already reach the web.  So now I just need to reach windows from Kubuntu.  I'm installing 2xAppilcation server on windows and I want to connect to it with krdc... but I don't know what networking options to tell krdc?
[00:15] <Weasel[DK]> billybobo231,you are right about the kdesudo as replacement for kdesu, but it not compatible yet, it can be resolved for now bye executing: sudo ln -s -f /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib /usr/bin/kdesu
[00:16] <Weasel[DK]> billybobo231, thanks for the hint
[00:16] <nosrednaekim> !VNC
[00:16] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[00:23] <billybobo231> No problem Weasel
[00:24] <intelikey> interesting turn of events.  i loaded linux on this lappy.    sent it home with it's owner.    in six months they bring it back(haven't even looked at it yet) wanting me to do something else to it.    and it wont boot.   can't mount the root fs.    so i badblocks'd the hd   no bad blocks found.   i cat zero to it and reinstall linux.     did that yesterday.  today it wont boot.    so i boot a live cd chroot into it and upgrad
[00:24] <intelikey> but i'll bet dollars against doughnut holes that tomarrow it wont boot again.
[00:25] <intelikey> and i can't find a reason for it.
[00:26] <agorecki> Can you format the drive using the live cd?
[00:26] <intelikey> of course
[00:27] <intelikey> like i said i badblocks/cat zero to/reinstalled.    so i had to format(creat an fs some place) to install...
[00:27] <intelikey> i'm not a beginner ya know.
[00:28] <agorecki> I apologize, I misunderstood you. If you can format it and mount it on the live cd, there should not be a problem mounting it without one. What error message did the system provide when it was not able to mount the partition?
[00:29] <intelikey> agorecki right.  but there was.   i mounted the old root fs before i did anything else just to see if someone had hosed something.
[00:29] <intelikey> only the booting kernel couldn't mount the root fs and would panic.
[00:30] <greeg> hi
[00:30] <greeg> im having trouble installing a package. im running the version prior to gutsy.  http://rafb.net/p/hYBuGw49.html
[00:31] <intelikey> same thing today.   the booting kernel would panic with can't mount root fs      and it wasn't an address issue.   it was booting fine when i shut it down yesterday.  just like it is now.
[00:31] <ardchoille> greeg: What are you trying to install?
[00:31] <ardchoille> greeg: The GNU common lisp compiler?
[00:31] <greeg> gcl, lisp interpreter.
[00:31] <gspr> greeg: Are you trying to install GCL? Isn't there a Feisty package for that?
[00:31] <greeg> my linux box is not connected to the internet
[00:32] <ardchoille> !info gcl feisty
[00:32] <greeg> im at a coffe shop at the moment
[00:32] <agorecki> The last time I zeroed a hard drive it needed to be replaced. Which filesystem are you using? (I am sorry, without much more information there is not a lot I can say on the issue)
[00:32] <ubotu> gcl: GNU Common Lisp compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.7-32 (feisty), package size 28038 kB, installed size 98532 kB
[00:32] <ardchoille> greeg: Ah, ok
[00:32] <gspr> greeg: It's probably easier to just get the packaged GCL.
[00:32] <greeg> yeah, and a bit spoiled by apt.
[00:32] <greeg> i ran ./configure in the proper directory according the the packages readme.
[00:33] <BrOSs> ardchoille: are u there?
[00:33] <greeg> ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
[00:33] <ardchoille> BrOSs: I am
[00:33] <intelikey> greeg is there a reason you don't want to use the packaged version ?
[00:34] <intelikey> !packages
[00:34] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[00:35] <ardchoille> intelikey: His Linux box has no internet. He could download the gcl package but may run into deps problems.
[00:35] <stdin> greeg: try "bash configure" instead
[00:35] <intelikey> could dl from  http://packages.ubuntu.com   and carry the .deb to the box as easy as a tarball.
[00:35] <intelikey> ardchoille he'll hit the same dependancy problems with a tarball
[00:36] <batis610> Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how?
[00:37] <ardchoille> intelikey: True, but at least now he's connected and can grab those deps instead of waiting to get home and finding out which deps he needs
[00:37] <intelikey> stdin heh  that's probably it.  more bashism masqerading as posix shell grammer
[00:39] <BrOSs> i need some help about WEP..
[00:39] <intelikey> people should not use  #!/bin/sh and then write bashism into it.   that's like writing a perl script and making the first line #!/usr/bin/python
[00:40] <ardchoille> BrOSs: Since I already know what you're attempting, this isn't the proper place to ask about illegal activities
[00:41] <intelikey> BrOSs get all your warez at ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[00:41] <BrOSs> ¬¬
[00:42] <ScottG> boy what an odeal..
[00:42] <ScottG> ordeal
[00:43] <intelikey> what odeal is that ?
[00:43] <ScottG> Just trying to get 3D re-enabled.
[00:44] <intelikey> also  people should not make configure and pre/post-inst/rm scripts with #!/bin/bash   nor containing bashism
[00:44] <ScottG> After fixing the 640x480 res problem I can't seem to get the Nvidia drivers installed so I can boot X..
[00:44] <ScottG> brb
[00:45] <intelikey> is "boot X" a CS term ?
[00:45] <greeg> is there a way get feisty packages with out apt ?
[00:45] <intelikey> greeg that's why i had the bot display the url  ^
[00:45] <intelikey> http://packages.ubuntu.com
[00:45] <greeg> oh i'll scroll up.  thanx
[00:46] <greeg> thanx pal
[00:46] <intelikey> np
[00:46] <mrtimbo> hi
[00:46] <mrtimbo> what would cause my camera to show just green
[00:46] <intelikey> bad cable ?
[00:46] <mrtimbo> integrated
[00:46] <mrtimbo> *sp
[00:47] <intelikey> lense capped  heh   should be black but you never know...
[00:47] <intelikey> wrong module ?
[00:47] <mrtimbo> i think the camera is going out
[00:47] <mrtimbo> it worked fine last night
[00:48] <mrtimbo> Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem
[00:48] <intelikey> that would fall under the "bad cable" secrtion.   falty hardware between the optic and the processor.
[00:49] <mrtimbo> ill tear it apart when i get home then
[00:49] <intelikey> expanded to include the camera it's self   or it's internal components
[00:49] <mrtimbo> it should have a warrenty but i dont know since i took vista off
[00:50] <intelikey> have to have vesta to have a hardware warrenty     now that's dope
[00:50] <DarkTan_> how do i tell what version of ndiswrapper i have?
[00:50] <mrtimbo> yeah, its not hardware but who knows
[00:50] <mrtimbo> its an acer
[00:50] <batis610> Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how?
[00:51] <intelikey> DarkTan_ dpkg -l | grep ndisw     maybe ?
[00:52] <ardchoille> batis610: Are you using kubuntu or ubuntu? You are asking the same question simultaneously in #ubuntu and #kubuntu
[00:52] <freddykrueger> nabend
[00:53] <intelikey> tolt
[00:53] <DarkTan_> i don't think that tell me what i need to know
[00:53] <batis610> ardchoille: ow yeah... it's me... i'm using kubuntu :)
[00:53] <DarkTan_> i'm ver 1.51 was just released 12/17
[00:53] <DarkTan_> that i'm wasn't supposed to be there
[00:54] <ardchoille> batis610: Then this channel is the proper place for your questions, #ubuntu usually a busier channel than #kubuntu
[00:54] <DarkTan_> ok, how do i compile the new tar.gz?
[00:54] <intelikey> DarkTan_ ndiswarper --version    give you info ?
[00:54] <intelikey> !b-e | DarkTan_
[00:54] <ubotu> DarkTan_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[00:55] <DarkTan_> ndiswrapper --version dosen't tell me the right info either
[00:55] <intelikey> ?
[00:56] <ardchoille> DarkTan_: apt-cache policy ndiswrapper
[00:56] <DarkTan_> unable to locate package
[00:57] <intelikey> ardchoille that shows the same as the first string i gave him.
[00:57] <DarkTan_> i'm trying to follow these direction: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_[AirForce_One_54g]?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[00:57] <ardchoille> intelikey: Ah, ok
[00:59] <ScottG> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50042/  This is my Xorg.conf.. I can't get 3D to work. If I install from the restricted drivers manager I can't get into X without reconfiguring X from the CLI..
[00:59] <DarkTan_> on a speperate note, anyone play a game called nexus [sp?]
[00:59] <ScottG> nexuiz?
[01:00] <intelikey> those instructions are telling you to build  ndiswrapper-1.46
[01:00] <DarkTan_> is that an FPS?

[01:04] <Tom2> Hey all, newly installed Kubuntu... any idea why I can't launch Adept manager?
[01:04] <ed_> any error messages?
[01:04] <Tom2> It tries to launch and then crashes
[01:04] <Tom2> Nope
[01:05] <Tom2> Doing it from the command line is fine
[01:05] <ed_> huh..beats me. im new myself :)
[01:05] <intelikey> Tom2 call it in a terminal and see what it says
[01:05] <Tom2> intelikey: How?
[01:05] <DarkTan_> it did that to me, i had to run it from command line then reboot the comp while leaving adept open, it worked fine since then
[01:05] <intelikey> open a terminal and type in  adep[tab_key]
[01:06] <ardchoille> Tom2: kdesu adept_manager
[01:06] <Tom2> huh
[01:06] <intelikey> need to be root to run ?
[01:06] <Tom2> Worked from the command line
[01:06] <ardchoille> intelikey: For adpet manager, I wold think so
[01:06] <sebix> my start x not run...
[01:07] <intelikey> ardchoille i figured it had a button to switch to admin mode
[01:07] <DarkTan_> yeah adept always asks for a password
[01:07] <Tom2> That's bizarre
[01:07] <DarkTan_> wow, gnome is huge
[01:07] <DarkTan_> what?
[01:07] <intelikey> sebix   no space.   startx
[01:08] <ardchoille> intelikey: When I run adept_manager as user, it gives me a big msgbox telling me I'm not running as root. So, I thought to just run as root to begin with
[01:08] <sebix> my startx not run...
[01:08] <intelikey> ardchoille k.  as you can tell i never use it.

[01:11] <mani213> how do i install a .run file on linux?
[01:11] <intelikey> heh ncurses != gut  but  yes.
[01:11] <intelikey> gui
[01:11] <DarkTan_> ?
[01:12] <intelikey> DarkTan_ yes  you can use kdm or gdm
[01:12] <sebix> mani213: sebix si
[01:12] <intelikey> or even xdm  or no dm at all
[01:12] <sebix> mani213: sebix yes
[01:12] <DarkTan_> ok, is this the right program in this doc tho? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_[AirForce_One_54g]?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[01:12] <mani213> how do i install a .run file on kubuntu?
[01:12] <mani213> sebix?
[01:13] <intelikey> mani213 sh file.run
[01:13] <intelikey> or might better use bash   bash file.run
[01:13] <mani213> so do i have to type that in console?
[01:13] <mani213> konsole?
[01:14] <intelikey> mani213 yea   or you can change the permission to executable and click it
[01:14] <intelikey> if you like the pointy clicky thingy that well
[01:14] <mani213> how so i do that
[01:14] <mani213> can you tell me the command to type in konsole?
[01:14] <intelikey> right click > propertys
[01:15] <intelikey> oh   i did.  twice.
[01:15] <intelikey>  bash filename.run
[01:15] <DarkTan_> brb
[01:15] <intelikey> if not in the same dir   bash /path/to/filename.run
[01:16] <intelikey> and use the tab key.
[01:16] <intelikey> !tab
[01:16] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:16] <mani213> let me try it
[01:16] <intelikey> we're not stopping you.............
[01:18] <mani213> bash: ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run: No such file or directory
[01:18] <mani213> wat that mean
[01:19] <intelikey> means you are not in the dir with the file and need to add the path/
[01:20] <intelikey> as per about four posts ago
[01:22] <intelikey> a linux console is like so totally intimidating, there is nothing there but words, ya know.
[01:27] <vern> hi, im trying to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu, ive installed kubuntu-desktop and apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, but after logging into the kde login, im dumped to a gnome desktop
[01:28] <vern> how do get to the kde desktop?
[01:28] <Jucato> vern: did you choose KDE from the list of Sessions in the login screen?
[01:28] <vern> hmm lemme try that out, brb
[01:28]  * intelikey hides from jucato
[01:29] <Jucato> happy new year intelikey :)
[01:29] <intelikey> ah yes and to you.
[01:29] <Jucato> or perhaps happy new ear, after I chop one off, for hiding from me :D
[01:29] <intelikey> :)
[01:29] <intelikey> Y
[01:29] <Jucato> Z
[01:31] <vernn> thanks! that worked ... will removing the gnome packages effectively get rid of gnome?
[01:32] <zeke> anyone having problems with ffmpeg breaking after every reboot?
[01:32] <ardchoille> !purekde | vernn
[01:32] <ubotu> vernn: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE »
[01:32] <zeke> or know why such a thing would happen?
[01:32] <Jucato> ardchoille: do you ever sleep!??!
[01:33] <Jucato> (yay!! I finally get to ask someone that, instead of me being asked that)
[01:33] <zeke> heh
[01:33] <ardchoille> Jucato: Sleep?
[01:33] <ardchoille> :P
[01:33] <user__> .
[01:34] <Jucato> >.>
[01:34] <intelikey> sleep is a time out command in linux.    it's used to pause a system for a specified time before executing another command.
[01:34] <Jucato> sleep - delay for a specified amount of time
[01:36] <ardchoille> Oh, then.. no :)
[01:36] <zeke> or maybe this amarok update will fix it
[01:36] <intelikey> your used the man page; i on the other hand, used the man keyboard
[01:36]  * intelikey sleeps a lot
[01:36] <zeke> sometimes it takes a man('s) touch

[01:40] <zeke> HA!
[01:41] <intelikey> OOMK tester;   "tail -F /dev/zero"    don't try it unless you know what OOMK is.
[01:41] <Mr_Sonoma> lol
[01:41] <CheGuevara> lol
[01:42] <zeke> jeez...this computer is taking forever to load the partition manager off the live cd
[01:42]  * intelikey wonders if greeg just tried that.....
[01:42] <Mr_Sonoma> i wondered the same intelikey
[01:44] <ardchoille> intelikey: Please don't post things that can cause problems for unaware users.
[01:44] <zeke> is wireless g compatible with wireless b?
[01:44] <zeke> or vice verse?
[01:44] <DarkTan_> accursed directions! didn't work
[01:45] <intelikey> ardchoille it shouldn't.   ubuntu did stop using OOMK=smart    so it shouldn't cause any trouble.
[01:45] <DarkTan_> ok, i used to have a wireless card that couldn't find networks, now i have no wireless card at all
[01:45] <intelikey> now in early dapper or before  it would.
[01:45] <ardchoille> intelikey: The point is, that comand has no beneficial use in this channel.
[01:46] <zeke> this one finds my network but doesn't show an accurate signal strength
[01:46] <gspr> zeke: 802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b, but speed may suffer from the presence of too many b-clients, I  think
[01:47] <intelikey> learning is not beneficial ?
[01:47] <zeke> cool...I'm sitting right next to the router and the signal is showing 1% or so
[01:49] <zeke> and this installation has really hung up at 26% after selecting the keyboard layout and trying to load the partition manager(?)
[01:50] <zeke> maybe I should use gparted then attempt a text install
[01:50] <zeke> never had much luck with those though
[01:51] <zeke> or is there some way I can connect two computers and install from the one with k on it?
[01:53] <zeke> because with 256mb ram this is taking a redonculous ammount of time
[01:53] <zeke> amount
[01:55] <zeke> anyone? ;)
[01:55] <flaccid> !punctuation | zeke
[01:55] <ubotu> zeke: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:55] <artur_> my clock is always changed when i start the system, what could i do?
[01:55]  * flaccid goes to read what zeek was going on about
[01:55] <zeke> yessir
[01:56] <flaccid> so basically it hangs on install?
[01:56] <zeke> basically...it's been loading the partition manager for 30 minutes now and it's only at 26%
[01:56] <flaccid> have you tried the alternate cd? atm it sounds like hardware
[01:57] <flaccid> looks like some bus problem or anyhting hardware. try the alternate cd first
[01:57] <flaccid> !alternate | zeke
[01:57] <ubotu> zeke: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[01:58] <zeke> I've not had much luck with alternate installs in the past
[01:58] <zeke> I tried it with freebsd and ended up without a gui of any sort
[01:59] <zeke> is the oem option of the normal cd the same as the alternate version?
[01:59] <ardchoille> zeke: Try it with the kubuntu alternate install cd.. I found it quite easy to use.
[02:00] <ardchoille> zeke: The OEM option leaves the system in a state in which the first user to boot it up must set some options, kind like purchasing a computer off of the store shelf.
[02:00] <flaccid> zeke: this is not freebsd at all. your issues could be something to do with the desktop components of the live cd. if you don't wanna try it, its your choice
[02:01] <zeke> I'm just trying to see what my options are
[02:01] <zeke> I do appreciate the advice and I will give it a try
[02:01] <flaccid> um i can't think of much other than doing persistent usb drive install.. which is just livecd anyway, but that rules out ide bus etc.
[02:02] <flaccid> old or new system?
[02:03] <jontec> I can't get battle for westnoth to play music O_o... I can't even check the box to enable music from within wesnoth... it's almost like it's not seeing the wesnoth-music package (which I have installed)
[02:03] <sn00zer> how do i kill a process that is listed in ps, then when i try to kill it says no such process, then respawns under new PID
[02:03] <biovore> kill -9 <pid>
[02:04] <sn00zer> or actually changes PID every second
[02:04] <biovore> figure out what it's parrent is
[02:04] <sn00zer> but its changed PID before i can type it
[02:04] <sn00zer> how do i do that?
[02:04] <zeke> old system

[02:26] <Scotty> Anyone know how to change the locally echoed name in Kopete? And by that, I mean how to change your screenname in conversations to something else. I tried using identities, but it didn't work.
[02:30] <happyjoy> can someone give me a good link to learn more about the grub boot loader?
[02:30] <se7en> Scotty: in konversation just do /nick other-nick-name
[02:30] <se7en> !grub
[02:30] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[02:31] <Scotty> se7en: I know how to change my nick in Konversation. I was wondering how to change it in Kopete. For instance, in Trillian it's called the locally echoed name.
[02:32] <Scotty> It's the name that appears in the conversation window, normally your screen name.
[02:32] <Mr_Sonoma> scotty i havent used kopete for IRC chat but i would imagine the /nick command used by many other IRC clients would work there also.
[02:32] <Scotty> Not for IRC, for AIM.
[02:32] <Mr_Sonoma> oh
[02:32] <Scotty> In a conversation window.
[02:32] <Scotty> When you say something.
[02:32] <Mr_Sonoma> its under preferances i think
[02:33] <happyjoy> se7en: thankx ;)
[02:33] <Mr_Sonoma> let me look
[02:33] <se7en> sorry Scotty i don't use anything else then irc so no need for me to use kopete
[02:44] <agorecki> Hi folks, does anyone know of a program for duplicating segments of a video into a new file? I am looking for software that has an intuitive, graphical user interface (preferrably)
[02:46] <jameswf-home> intuitive is relitave
[02:46] <jameswf-home> I find bash intuitive :)
[02:46] <agorecki> Anything other than libffmpg :)
[02:46] <adz21c> agorecki: theres some sort of video called kino i think, thats graphical and might do it. Else for command line you can use mencoder so just do a copy encode (aka sweet fa) of segments i believe
[02:46] <jameswf-home> devede is pretty good..
[02:47] <agorecki> adz21c, jameswf-home: I will have a look, thank you
[02:52] <se7en> speaking of video what package is missing when i get that error  xine: couldn't find demux
[03:04] <ScottG> !envy
[03:04] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[03:04] <ScottG> ohhh.. :)

[03:21] <Max-P> try $ sh <filename> in konsole
[03:21] <mani213> $?
[03:21] <mani213> i have kubuntu
[03:21] <mani213> and thr .run file is a ati driver i downloaded
[03:21] <mani213> the*
[03:23] <Max-P> The $ is only meaning that you don't have to be root to run that command
[03:23] <Max-P> and # mean root
[03:23] <Max-P> but
[03:23] <Max-P> if it's the ati driver
[03:23] <Max-P> # sh <filename
[03:23] <Max-P> # for root
[03:23] <Max-P> so
[03:23] <Max-P> $ sudo su
[03:23] <Max-P> then
[03:23] <Max-P> you will be root
[03:24] <mani213> so i type in $ sudo su first?
[03:24] <Max-P> yes

[03:30] <mani213> you mean put the driver cd in the rom?
[03:30] <Max-P> no

[03:31] <Max-P> that's it
[03:31] <velho> i'm using Kpowersave instead of Power Manager in my laptop. but Power Manager starts everytime i start kubuntu and i don't want to use it. how to close it forever, to never start again?

[03:32] <Max-P> fglrx
[03:32] <Max-P> you will get something like
[03:33] <Max-P> xorg-server-fglrx-driver
[03:33] <pteague> anybody know if the "Option RandRRotation" is a server option or do i need to set it somewhere else?
[03:33] <mani213> man is there any software to get all the drivers
[03:33] <pteague> in xorg.conf
[03:33] <mani213> and like search for them like my mother board sound card
[03:34] <Max-P> mani213: I can't help you =(
[03:34] <Max-P> I typed $ sudo bash ati-driver.run and it worked fine
[03:35] <mani213> kk im getting it off adept manager

[03:43] <Scotty> If that's what you're talking about
[03:44] <mani213> he told me to go adept manager and type in some driver name to get he ati one

[03:45] <mani213> ye got it
[03:45] <mani213> thanks a mill
[03:45] <Scotty> Just repeating information, but no problem.
[03:48] <mani213> i installed the driver and my compiz settings stoped
[03:48] <mani213> how to i get it back compiz --replace?
[03:49] <ardchoille> mani213: help with compiz is in #compiz-fusion
[03:49] <Jucato> sudo sleep ardchoille
[03:49] <ardchoille> hehe
[03:50] <Jucato> of course, like always, I don't follow my own rules/suggestions/advice :D
[03:51] <mani213> omg no ones talkin in compiz room
[03:52] <mani213> is the command compiz --replace
[03:56] <earl_> so i remember reading a few months ago about a problem with ubuntu and laptop hard drives. does that still apply in gutsy?
[03:57] <Tucci> hey i
[03:57] <Tucci> hello?
[03:57] <ardchoille> !hi | Tucci
[03:57] <ubotu> Tucci: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[03:58] <Tucci> oh, okay, there's usually a flood of messages as soon as I connect... things are quiet I guess
[03:58] <Dr_willis> earl_,  i saw that when gutsy came out. the issue was a little.. odd. :) if i rember right it only affected some spefific machines/bios/hd's and  it was only affecting those machines that had  the laptop-mode packages enabled.
[03:59] <earl_> is there a way to verify if it applies to me?
[03:59] <Tucci> anyway, I was trying to share a folder with my roommate's mac, and I both failed at that and broke my internet connection
[03:59] <Tucci> can someone help?
[04:00] <Dr_willis> There was a great many sites on that topic.  You could check the smart 'data' on the hd and see how fast it was increasing.
[04:00] <Dr_willis> then if you wanted you could use hdparm to tweak it.  lets me see whats on my laptop
[04:00] <earl_> not sure how to do any of that lol
[04:01] <Dr_willis> If you never installed the laptop-mode package.. then it wont be affecting you anyway
[04:01] <earl_> oh no i never did that on my own. should i have?
[04:04] <pyrotix> whenever I try to login on kopete it just crashes. Suddenly and immediately. wtf? Anyone know of this issue or could suggest any other easily installable linux msn clients
[04:05] <earl_> pidgin
[04:05] <earl_> i think it's superior to kopet
[04:05] <earl_> e
[04:05] <pyrotix> is it kde?
[04:05] <pyrotix> wait
[04:05] <pyrotix> its gaim
[04:05] <pyrotix> gah
[04:05] <earl_> it's a gnome program but you can use it pretty harmlessly in KDE
[04:05] <earl_> it works really well for me
[04:06] <pyrotix> I know of it. and gtk programs are never harmless.
[04:06] <pyrotix> ty
[04:07] <earl_> i mean if you want an alternative, there it is. it has some features that i find kopete to be missing
[04:08] <mrtimbo> gaim dont have webcam support
[04:08] <earl_> it does not, you're right. but last i tried kopete i wasn't able to get webcam working too well in that either
[04:08] <mrtimbo> I have never had a problem
[04:08] <mrtimbo> but it varies
[04:09] <earl_> granted that was like a year ago though.
[04:09] <mrtimbo> its the only reason i started with kopete
[04:09] <earl_> have they fixed that thing where there's a blank line after every message on some themes?
[04:09] <mrtimbo> I dont use themes
[04:09] <mrtimbo> You would think they would of but i dont know
[04:09] <pyrotix> hehe, I started with kopete cause I couldn't get gaim to work. Kopete and amarok were single-handedly able to convert me to kubuntu. And also wu-tang clan ain't nothing to fuck wit.
[04:10] <earl_> themes are the thing that make me wish kopete was better than it is

[04:10] <pyrotix> what if the profanity is part of a quote?
[04:10] <pyrotix> even then
[04:11] <stdin> then don't quote it
[04:11] <ardchoille> pyrotix: Doesn't matter, please keep the content family-friendly
[04:11] <earl_> the only thing i could think of that would make amarok better is if it worked with my zune.

[04:15] <poison__> lmao
[04:15] <ardchoille> mrtimbo: 8.04 (year.month)
[04:15] <mrtimbo> oh thats how it works
[04:15] <mrtimbo> nice
[04:15] <mrtimbo> never knew that
[04:15] <earl_> yup that's why it's always 04 or 10

[04:35] <se7en> ronnie_: open a terminal and do sudo apt-get update and paste the error in te pastebin so people here can see and help
[04:36] <jameswf-home> I am guessing rhettoric is off topic :)
[04:37] <jameswf-home> I spend 90% of my time in dev rooms people here are touchy
[04:37] <Jucato> !pasting is <alias> pastebin
[04:37] <ubotu> I'll remember that, Jucato
[04:37] <Jucato> now make that 6 :D

[04:38] <Jucato> oh yeah, the blender guy :)
[04:38] <stdin> mrtimbo: you post the link back here
[04:39] <limac> i was working on a html project while suddenly the internet got disconnected!
[04:39] <limac> oh hi Jucato! :D
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. Trying to figure out where/how Ubuntu/Kubuntu decides where to auto mount these disks. The disk is  /dev/sdd1, usb external HD. Plug it in , turn it on. it appears as System:/media/sdd1  HOWEVER  there is no '/media/sdd1' the disk is instead mounted at '/media/disk'   Where did that 'disk' name come from? (its a windows fat32 disk)
[04:39] <limac> and the next time i restarted the computer, it got frozen
[04:39] <limac> why did that happen?
[04:40] <stdin> Dr_willis: from the filesystems label
[04:40] <Dr_willis> stdin,  ok. that makes sence then. :)
[04:40] <limac> is that like a bug or something?
[04:40] <jameswf-home> Dr_willis: udev rules
[04:40] <Tucci> I accidentally changed some of my network settings and now my connection is broken. can someone help me change it back?
[04:40] <stdin> (most FAT-31 USB disks are called "disk")
[04:40] <stdin> *-32
[04:41] <jameswf-home> Tucci: define broken
[04:41] <Tucci> well, not working at all (I'm using my roommate's mac)
[04:41] <Dr_willis> I dont rember labeling it that.. but it could of been. heh heh..  It just seems.. confusing.. the way it used system:/media/sdd1 then i was expecting there to be a /media/sdd1 :)
[04:41] <stdin> system:/ always used the device node as the name, even if it's not mounted like that
[04:42] <Tucci> jameswf-ho: (this is a laptop with a wireless connection that has always worked without a problem)
[04:42] <stdin> my /home (which is called "home") is system:/media/sda3
[04:42] <Dr_willis> but media:/ shows the name of the disk to be 'windowstuff'
[04:42] <Dr_willis> which i do think is the label.
[04:42] <stdin> media:/ != system:/media ;)
[04:42] <Dr_willis> media makes sence. :)
[04:43] <Dr_willis> except fior the 3 disks named based on their size...
[04:43] <Tucci> jameswf-ho: And I was trying to share a folder with this mac, but didn't succeed - now the little internet connection button on the lower panel has disappeared
[04:43] <Dr_willis> is my stuff on the 400gb or 320gb or 300gb disk..heh :)
[04:43] <stdin> I just mount from /dev/disk/by-label
[04:43] <jameswf-home> Dr_willis: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/make-removable-usb-hdd-mount-at-fixed-mount-point-511917/
[04:43] <Dr_willis> Im just cleaning out a lot of things got a 300gb hd for $40 over the weekend. that will eliminate 3 of the hd's
[04:44] <Dr_willis> :)
[04:45] <Tidus> i just put shortcuts on the desktop pointing to the storage array in this computer which is conveniently mounted at /storage
[04:47] <Dr_willis> I got a redundant array of external usb disks...  that just seems to keep growing
[04:47] <Dr_willis> redundant in that - i seem to have a lot of needlessly redundant copies of stuff on all of them
[04:49] <limac> my wireless is disconnecting randomly? any ways to fix that?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> Mine would dissconect when the wife fired up the microwave.
[04:51] <limac> hmmmmmm
[04:51] <Dr_willis> or the neighbors would fire up theirs... or the dog down the street looked at  a squirle.. :)
[04:51] <limac> so any way to fix mine?
[04:51] <Dr_willis> Ok.. kidding on the last part.. and this was some older hardware. But the Microwave, and the cordless phone would kick her pc off the net for a few mim
[04:52] <Dr_willis> What kind of cards?  A/B/G/N/Somthing Else ive not heard of yet.
[04:52] <limac> what do u mean "cards"?
[04:52] <Dr_willis> What kind of wireless card is this? what chipset.
[04:53] <limac> atheros
[04:53] <Dr_willis> A/B  type wireless had the Microwave issues.  I think its not an issue with G and N networks now a days.
[04:54] <Dr_willis> But other then that.. I cant be of much more help. Not sure wher to begin trouble shooting if you are saying its truely random.
[04:54] <Dr_willis> Sure its not like after X amount of time idle?
[04:54] <limac> yeah

[05:04] <olle_> cuking1: do you?
[05:05] <xweb> I just instaled Gusty and now my ruby does not work.
[05:05] <cuking_1> Yeah, I am using it to get to media files.  I found nfs-kernel-server serving read writes will give me 11 meg a second on 100 enet :)

[05:54] <bmack> can someone help me find a driver that works for ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT : everytime i enable ati accelerated graphics driver it wont let me boot back up
[05:54] <surgy> !ati  | bmack
[05:54] <ubotu> bmack: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:55] <surgy> bmack: if your serious about linux you should lean more towards nvidia, they like us more
[05:55] <surgy> better opengl support and what not
[05:55] <olle_> surgy: you know when ATI's new famous linux drivers are ready?
[05:56]  * olle_ <3 AMD a bit

[05:56] <surgy> or otherwise help me extract a rar that has a password ? i know the password.
[05:56] <bmack> ive enabled ati accelerated graphics driver in restricted drivers and it wont let me boot back up when everything starts up it wont startup powernowd
[05:57] <bmack> i cant get that driver to work
[05:57] <olle_> arch? the cmd line tool?
[05:57] <surgy> the gui tool in kubuntu

[05:57] <surgy> ark*
[05:57] <se7en> surgy: unrar -xp yourrarfile.rar
[05:57] <surgy> se7en: and what about the password?
[05:57] <Kernel> i installed fluxbox but when i logged in...i cant do anything. right clicking doesnt bring up a menu like it used to/should do.
[05:58] <olle_> i once had to use the non-free rar in multiverse

[05:58] <Kernel> i had to ctrl alt backspace to log out of it.
[05:58] <se7en> if you have the passwd :)
[05:58] <oakxx> firefox works for shit in linux
[05:58] <oakxx> like

[06:01] <se7en> unrar -ep yourrarfile.rar
[06:01] <surgy> same thing happens
[06:03] <se7en> surgy: do you have the unrar-nonfree package installed
[06:03] <oakxx> everyone here should check out automatix2
[06:04] <surgy> se7en: no but i got it to work sorta by using "unrar -e -p file.rar"
[06:04] <oakxx> i have i/o errors writing to a pata drive from a kubuntu live cd.
[06:04] <se7en> :)
[06:04] <surgy> but then it prompts for password, i enter it, and then it says reenter password, and then it prints the help thing again

[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unrar nonfree - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <surgy> !unrar
[06:08] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:09] <gtt> someone needs to update the download pages to remove the LTS from the title.
[06:10] <surgy> unrar - Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
[06:10] <surgy> unrar is already the newest version.
[06:10] <oakxx> i dare you to install flash on a 64 bit system without automatix
[06:10] <oakxx> i dare you.
[06:10] <oakxx> ill paypal you money if you show me how.
[06:11] <rredd4> where is the trash located in kde?  can't find it to empty it.
[06:11] <surgy> but why wont it work? this is stupid, archiving should be handled smoothly, and im missing something, wheres Dr_willis when you need him
[06:12] <surgy> rredd4: its on the main toolbar
[06:12] <bazhang> oakxx: this is a support channel; take it to offtopic please
[06:12] <surgy> am i going to have to try to run winzip through wine?
[06:14] <NickPresta> surgy, there is a utility to create a zip archive. What seems to be the problem?
[06:14] <rredd4> surgy I don't see it, I see:  Kmenu , Home icon, FireFox icon, 4 desktop panels, Klipper, Adept icon, Xchat icon and the clock.  Thats it
[06:15] <Tidus> rredd4: mine's to the right of the clock
[06:15] <surgy> NickPresta: i need to unrar an archive that has a password, i know the password, but when i enter the password at the prompt it doesnt work, and acts like i didnt enter the command right. and the gui ark tool that is present in kde, is aperently useless on encrypted archives
[06:15] <rredd4> Tidus there is a arrow to the right of my clock
[06:15] <Kernel> hmm also there is no fluxbox-generate_menu on my system?
[06:15] <se7en> surgy: if i recall right unrar-nonfree is in the kubuntu-restricted-extras package
[06:16] <surgy> se7en: i have the newest version installed
[06:16] <rredd4> Tidus there is a arrow to the right of my clock  thats to hide the panel
[06:16] <adamonline46> Hello all!  For the last couple days I've been fiddling with accessing my network shares using Samba.  I FINALLY found out that if I use Dolphin and click 'open as root' while I'm inside the MSHOME folder, I can see the machines that are on the network and access their shares.  Is there any reason that anyone can think of that I can't view my MSHOME shares as a regular user?  All other computers can access this computer's shares, but
[06:17] <Tidus> rredd4: http://tidus.alive-awake.com/photos/?Qwd=./Screenshots/Linux&Qif=desktop_12_29_07.png&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=M&Qtmp=FS <-- completely stock except changed the wallpaper
[06:18] <se7en> surgy: i don't get it but you could try 7zip with the command  7z x -p{passwort} file.rar
[06:19] <ollle> 7zip is great
[06:19] <NickPresta> surgy, I just created a rar archive (`rar a -p archive.rar file`) and then did `unrar e archive.rar`. It worked fine for me. Where was this archive created?
[06:19] <rredd4> Tidus surgy  i had to add the applet, now i see it
[06:19] <surgy> NickPresta: im not creating an archive
[06:20] <surgy> i use 7zip and got two errors, says its an unsupported method
[06:20] <NickPresta> surgy, I understand that. I created an archive with a password and then unrar'd it for testing purposes. It worked. unrar works when the archive has a password. I don't know why your specific archive fails to extract
[06:20] <Tidus> rredd4: it shoulda been there by default
[06:21] <rredd4> Tidus  I have never seen it until now, weird
[06:21] <surgy> NickPresta: want me to pm you the six lines of output that 7zip gives me?
[06:21] <NickPresta> surgy, sure, although I'm not sure I can help diagnose the problem. If the archive doesn't contain anything sensitive, you could send it to me and I can see if it works for me.
[06:23] <rredd4> ty all
[06:26] <xweb> sorry ... misfire
[06:30] <_CitizenKane_> where does kdm look for .desktop files?
[06:32] <_CitizenKane_> does anyone know?
[06:33] <oakxx> its deault ones?
[06:33] <oakxx> its default ones?
[06:33] <oakxx> ./etc/skel ?
[06:34] <_CitizenKane_> oakxx, the ones that end up being listed as loadable sessions
[06:35] <_CitizenKane_> like, KDE, gnome, etc
[06:40] <se7en> _CitizenKane_: i don't know what you want to do but most of the setting are in /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc
[06:40] <_CitizenKane_> se7en, just add a new session to kdm
[06:41] <_CitizenKane_> which i thought would work if a new .desktop file was put in /usr/share/xsessions but it hasn't
[06:43] <bmack> when i boot after i select kubuntu a pops up for a few seconds and says Kernel alive' and kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000'
[06:43] <bmack> blank screen*
[06:53] <adamonline46> If I haven't touched the firewall settings that come with Kubuntu, and doing 'iptables -L' shows everything as 'allow', is it possible there's still something acting as a firewall in a near-stock Kubuntu?
[06:54] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, unlikely
[06:54] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Very well, thank you...
[06:55] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, what kind of problem are you having
[06:55] <_CitizenKane_> ?
[06:56] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Well, I can't see any of my network computers or their shares from my Kubuntu computer... I've been fiddling with it since yesterday morning, and tonight I found out if I click 'open as root' in dolphin while I'm in 'MSHOME', I CAN see the network shares...
[06:57] <adamonline46> I've been asking left and right and no one seems to have any ideas; I'm getting ready to give up until I want to access a network share again :(
[06:57] <_CitizenKane_> that's strange
[06:57] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Indeed.  I've verified my firewall's got no rules...
[06:58] <_CitizenKane_> well, try to open an IP address directly in dolphin or konqueror with
[06:59] <_CitizenKane_> smb:/ip-address-here
[06:59] <adamonline46> is it really only one slash?
[06:59] <adamonline46> I've been using 2...
[06:59] <_CitizenKane_> well, dolphin doesn't like it when i use two
[07:00] <adamonline46> ahh
[07:00] <se7en> dolphin only /
[07:00] <adamonline46> Yeah, in Konqueror all I get is a white-bg window...
[07:01] <_CitizenKane_> hmm, is there a firewall enabled on the computer you're trying to connect to
[07:01] <adamonline46> se7en: Thank you, useful info...
[07:02] <adamonline46> No, nothing... I even set up a minimal smb.conf with security = share, etc; which requires no password or anything
[07:02] <adamonline46> Plus, I can still access all my other machines from all my other machines...
[07:03] <_CitizenKane_> well, that's pretty strange
[07:03] <_CitizenKane_> maybe there's a solution besides using smb
[07:06] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Hmm.  Well, I'm trying to get to  my file server, and I've got a couple roommates on the network... Everything is set up as it should be, in terms of access rights, etc.  Hmm..  Dang, yeah, I'm just so stumped here... I can try FTP I suppose, just for kicks...
[07:07] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, i actually prefer ftp, i've found that it's much easier to set up than many other options
[07:10] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Oh yeah?  I will do it, if you can assure me that there is a PLAIN, boring, Windows-Explorer-like, saves passwords and doesn't prompt you every time, Windows client... 8)
[07:10] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, filezilla
[07:11] <adamonline46> Filezilla drives me nuts, and cuteFTP is not much better, plus I'm trying to not install any warez 8)
[07:12] <adamonline46> Just, I don't want to have a hundred frames in an FTP client; I just want something that runs transparently, like a mount...
[07:13] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, http://glosoli.blogspot.com/2005/10/map-drive-via-ftp-or-webdav.html
[07:15] <adamonline46> _CitizenKane_: Hmm... Bookmarked, indeed, should I not find a sufficient samba solution :)  Thank you very much for your time though, you're the only person to probe the matter with me 8)
[07:15] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, no problem
[07:40] <mahasamoot> My keyboard has a volume button, and a mute button.  I can see a volume metter come up when I press the button, but it doesn't change the volume.  Same for mute, it'll say mute on/off, but no effect.  I've confirmed that the master channel on Kmix is the right one, and when I change it on the pannel it works alright.  Also, sometimes, the volume meter will go up to 100% and down to 0%, smothly.... but at other times it's jerky and just goes from 0% to 11%
[07:41] <mahasamoot> I also have play/pause, stop, next, pervious, buttons, but they've always worked fine with Amorak
[07:42] <mahasamoot> The keyboard is a Logitech cordless desktop wave
[07:42] <mahasamoot> I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 alt amd64
[07:43] <mahasamoot> and I have 8 audio devices
[07:46] <adamonline46> Is there somewhere to 'enable file sharing' in Kubuntu?
[07:50] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: I'm looking into it
[07:51] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: on my machine there are settings, but it tells me the packages aren't installed
[07:52] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: try K > System Settings > Sharing
[07:52] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: you may already have the packages
[07:52] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: Hmm, alright... Yeah, I'm having issues with Samba, I think... Can't access any remote shares from Kubuntu...
[07:53] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: *Er, unless I'm root...
[07:53] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: I need to set this stuff up myself, maybe we can work thro it together
[07:54] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: what have you done so far?
[07:54] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: Alright, I'd be glad to help if I can... I'm not too great with Samba tho...
[07:54] <adamonline46> haha, my settings panel stopped responding...
[07:55] <adamonline46> I have Samba installed, and smbclient...
[07:55] <adamonline46> I can access local shares from remote locations, but not vice versa
[07:56] <adamonline46> never seen anything like this before, I've got 2 other computers using Samba fine, though this is the first time I've tried connecting to one of them (or my win box) from Linux...
[07:57] <mahasamoot> so your client is working, but not the server?
[07:58] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: No, the server is working, but not the client.
[07:58] <adamonline46> Er, maybe I should start over...
[07:58] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: ok, are you following a tutorial?
[08:02] <adamonline46> I've got 5 computers.  4 of them are using Linux: A Counter-Strike server, a web server, a laptop, and a new file server running Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu,  and Xubuntu respectively.  Then i've got a WinXP machine which can access all of those machine's shares.  I've never tried accessing any of those shares from another Linux box, but now with the laptop and fileserver I have a reason to.  So, basically, while the WinXP rig can view a
[08:02] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: haha, so, no, I'm not really following a tut... But I can help you out, if I can... What's your situation?
[08:03] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: I've just set up winXP in a kvm
[08:03] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: Ooh, that's cool
[08:04] <mahasamoot> I'd like it to get files on the host... and the host to connect a client for an appserver on winXP
[08:07] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: the networking stuff looked really compicated,... but the funny thing was, winXP can surf the web... even tho I didn't set it up yet
[08:09] <adamonline46> mahasamoot: Oh wow!  That's cool...
[08:09] <adamonline46> damn, I'm afraid I'm not gonna be much help...
[08:09] <mahasamoot> adamonline46: the question is, should I use NFS, and do it the Unix way, or Samba and do it the Windows way?
[08:10] <adamonline46> Well, what else is on your network?
[08:10] <adamonline46> I for one am trying to choose the simplicity of one config file, so I'm shooting to use Samba all round...
[08:10] <mahasamoot> just the host, and an internet connection
[08:11] <adamonline46> Then again, I have dhcp...
[08:12] <mahasamoot> since the network is already working for windows... ?  I'm guess it's already dhcp'd... on the other hand if it's static, that's simpler... isn't it?
[08:16] <adamonline46> yeah, it's simpler, unless you have new computers coming in and out regularly :)  If I had a better router, I could do both...
[08:17] <etfb> Does anyone else have a problem where Kopete, the chat program, "steals" the Ctrl+Shift+W key combination and stops it getting through to Firefox or any other program?  I've looked in Keyboard Settings and in Kopete's config menus and can't find any mention of it.  How do I fix it?

[08:20] <Mister_Hand> hi there
[08:20] <Mister_Hand> whats the program you use to search your drive for a specific file in kde?
[08:21] <adamonline46> Sorry, etfb, I wish I cuold help you... I'd like to ask, if anyone knows why not only can I not view my network shares from just this one machine, but when I clidk 'Sharing' under 'settings', the 'settings' panel freezes?  What's wrong here? This is driving me nutso!!! :O
[08:22] <Mister_Hand> nevermind
[08:22] <adamonline46> Mister_Hand: Possible Dolphin, but by CLI you can do 'find *file*.ext', or
[08:22] <adamonline46> oh ok
[08:23] <Mister_Hand> adamonline46, thanks
[08:23] <Tidus> etfb: i have that problem too playing World of Warcraft... KDE locks and holds the alt + ANYTHING combination
[08:23] <sebastian^> good morning folks
[08:24] <Tidus> and most of my in game shortcuts are bound to those keys
[08:24] <Zombocom> Tidus I have the problem where kde isn't bound to those keys
[08:30] <etfb> Looks like there's a general problem with overzealous key bindings in KDE then.  It should, in theory, give the current application first option at any keypress.    Odd.

[08:35] <Drk_Guy> Hi
[08:36] <Kernel> whats the recomended way to install suns jdk and suns jre on 7.10?
[08:36] <flaccid> just as above Kernel
[08:37] <flaccid> oh jdk?
[08:37] <Kernel> yea
[08:37] <flaccid> as in sdk ?
[08:37]  * flaccid goes to have a look
[08:37] <Kernel> well umm jdk is what i know it as.
[08:37] <_CitizenKane_> i think the package is just sun-java5-jdk
[08:37] <Kernel> its got javac and stuff
[08:37] <Kernel> ah
[08:37] <Kernel> ic now
[08:37] <Kernel> thanks
[08:38] <flaccid> sweet
[08:38] <GSF1200S_> anyone in here know how to link to buntu machines?
[08:38] <GSF1200S_> just simple file sharing
[08:38] <flaccid> !samba | GSF1200S_
[08:38] <ubotu> GSF1200S_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[08:38] <Kernel> GSF1200S_, linux to linux use nfs . linux and windows use samba
[08:38] <flaccid> there is !nfs also
[08:39] <GSF1200S_> yeah.. knew that about samba and nfs
[08:39] <adamonline46> Kernel: What if I need both?  Should I maintain two setups, or just use Samba on all?
[08:39] <flaccid> i think there is an applet as well for main panel
[08:39] <_CitizenKane_> adamonline46, I'd suggest samba
[08:39] <GSF1200S_> im going from buntu to mepis.. trying to transfer files off my windows part so I can remove it
[08:39] <flaccid> samba is regarded as more extensible and secure
[08:39] <Kernel> adamonline46, im not very familer with either...i just use ftp.
[08:39] <Kernel> or scp
[08:40] <flaccid> there is also things like ftpfs and sshfs
[08:40] <adamonline46> Kernel: FTP keeps popping up...  I think I'm gonna have to give it a shot...  Is there an 'ftpfs'-like thing for WinXP?  Something that's somewhat transparent and preferably free and free?
[08:41] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[08:41] <Drk_Guy> I need to change permissions for a whoel drive
[08:41] <Drk_Guy> *whole
[08:41] <Kernel> adamonline46, im not sure. sorry.
[08:41] <flaccid> what is the filesystem, Drk_Guy
[08:41] <Drk_Guy> How can i do that?
[08:41] <Drk_Guy> Ext2
[08:41] <GSF1200S_> gonna boot to windows and just try samba for now
[08:41] <Kernel> i just use pureftpd and gftp
[08:41] <flaccid> Drk_Guy: is this just an extra drive you use to store data on a mountpoint?
[08:42] <Drk_Guy> flaccid: It's my /home dir
[08:42] <Jeroi> Kernel filezilla is the best ftp client for linux and for windows also
[08:42] <flaccid> !perms | Drk_Guy
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about perms - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <Drk_Guy> I'm a distro hopper
[08:42] <flaccid> Drk_Guy: its just chown and chmod like any unix
[08:42] <Drk_Guy> chown
[08:42] <Kernel> Jeroi, that opinion. ;-)
[08:42] <flaccid> or do it in kde
[08:42] <Kernel> i prefer gftp
[08:42] <Drk_Guy> But i don't know how to use it
[08:42] <adamonline46> Kernel: NP, ty
[08:42] <Jeroi> :)
[08:43] <Drk_Guy> Also, i tried chmod +r+w
[08:43] <Drk_Guy> But didn't work
[08:43] <flaccid> Drk_Guy: eg. sudo chown flaccid /home/flaccid
[08:43] <Kernel> adamonline46, :-)
[08:43] <flaccid> or do group as well sudo chown flaccid:flaccid /home/flaccid
[08:43] <Jeroi> I prefer programs that support both windows and linux
[08:43] <Drk_Guy> It didn't spit out anything
[08:43] <Drk_Guy> Is it ready?
[08:44] <Jeroi> That way I dont need to change program when using linux or windows
[08:45] <flaccid> Drk_Guy: that does the folder only, if you want to do all if its contents do: sudo chown -R flaccid:flaccid /home/flaccid for example. R being for recursive
[08:46] <flaccid> you can also do -Rv for verbose
[08:47] <Drk_Guy> It worked just fine
[08:47] <Drk_Guy> Thanks guys
[08:47] <flaccid> np
[08:49] <Drk_Guy> How to enable Mp3 playing?
[08:49] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, for what audio player?
[08:49] <Drk_Guy> Amarok
[08:49] <adamonline46> Might anyone know why I can only view remote Samba shares as root, but only from this machine?  Is this a 'sudo-like' form of security?
[08:51] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, sudo apt-get amarok-xine
[08:51] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, oops ---> sudo apt-get install amarok-xine
[08:52] <Drk_Guy> _CitizenKane_: I have Kubuntu Gutsy
[08:52] <corporeal> kubuntu for the win
[08:52] <Drk_Guy> It already has amarok
[08:52] <Kernel> !kernel
[08:52] <ubotu> The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[08:53] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, amarok-xine is an amarok backend, it may not be installed
[08:53] <tmske> anyone who knows why ndiswrapper doesn't load wlan0 while ndiswrapper -l shows a correct driver and the alternate driver is blacklisted
[08:53] <Drk_Guy> hmmm
[08:53] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[08:53] <Drk_Guy> I'll try
[08:54] <MGrunde> "modprobe ndiswrapper"?
[08:54] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, also ---> sudo apt-get install libmad0
[08:55] <Drk_Guy> _CitizenKane_: That's GStreamer, right?
[08:56] <ICQnumber> howto restart network manager
[08:56] <MGrunde> Drk_Guy, also libxine1-ffmpeg
[08:56] <_CitizenKane_> Drk_Guy, no it's the mpeg decoder library, so it can decode mp3s, i'm pretty sure that's necessary
[08:56] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[08:56] <_CitizenKane_> it's been awhile so I don't remember all of the different packages :P
[08:56] <tmske> MGrunde: no that does load ndiswrapper but wlan doesn't get loaded: output dmesg, last lines: unloaded en loaded ndiswrapper: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50085/
[08:57] <_CitizenKane_> ICQnumber, do you just need to restart the network manager applet?
[08:58] <ICQnumber> _CitizenKane_: no
[09:00] <MGrunde> tmske: And after that there's no wlan0 in if/iwconfig?
[09:00] <_CitizenKane_> ICQnumber, you can kill the networkmanager process and then start it again
[09:02] <flaccid> ICQnumber: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[09:02] <MGrunde> I know exactly what you mean CitizenKane.  I remembered it had something to do with xine, but that was about it.
[09:03] <Jeroi> hey is I buy in 3 month 4core amd prosessor, can I run my linux still even if my motherboard and memory is changed with the prosessor?
[09:03] <tmske> MGrunde: no, it does not load, that's my problem.  It looks like ndiswrapper works, but I doesn't load wlan0.
[09:04] <ICQnumber> _CitizenKane_: found it it is : su -c"/etc/init.d/network restart"
[09:04] <Jeroi> I mean can I just download smp kernel form apt?
[09:05] <MGrunde> That's really odd.  Did you install it with apt or compile it yourself?
[09:05] <Jeroi> me?
[09:05] <MGrunde> tmske
[09:06] <Jeroi> oh
[09:06] <MGrunde> Sorry.
[09:06] <kvonb> anyone know why my etc-rc0.d folder is empty?
[09:06] <kvonb> ...and no I didn't delete everything! :)
[09:07] <tmske> MGrunde: I tried both, now it is with compiled version
[09:07] <ardchoille> kvonb: etc-rc0.d  or  /etc/rc0.d ?
[09:08] <kvonb> yeah with the slashes, I didn't think it would work in IRC though :)
[09:08] <ardchoille> :)
[09:08] <James296> how come when I do a system update on Kubuntu 7.10, it actually comes up w/ an error that tells me I need to upgrade to Kubuntu 7.10, when I actually am running Kubuntu 7.10?
[09:08] <kvonb> cos Kubuntu 7.10 is full of bugs :(
[09:09] <ardchoille> kvonb: We don't need that here.
[09:09] <jpatrick> kvonb: mine has some files in it
[09:09] <James296> this is even on the live CD that was shipped to me today...
[09:09] <James296> this really upsets me
[09:09] <kvonb> jpatrick - could you give me a listing of your rc0.d folder so I can rebuild it please?
[09:10] <James296> and it ends up becoming more unstable after doing required updates and upgrades
[09:10] <kvonb> James296 - I had the same problem, a reinstall fixed it!
[09:10] <jpatrick> kvonb: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3122/ - there you go
[09:11] <cptR3D> can someone tell me how to change a video driver?
[09:11] <kvonb> onya mate, thanks :D
[09:11] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, there's an easier way
[09:11] <James296> whats the easier way?
[09:12] <starscreamd> I was trying to install flash and am having problems with possibly breaking dependencies in Kubuntu Gutsy. I went to a page with flash content in Konqueror and attempted to install the flash plugin. Halfway through the install, I got an error about the flashplayer.xpt not existing. So the install fails, and when I attempt a sudran to install update/safe-upgrade, it says:dpkg --configure -a must be ran to correct the problem.
[09:12] <starscreamd> After that is executed...
[09:12] <_CitizenKane_> James296, use the update-rc.d command
[09:12] <jpatrick> James296: open console: and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:12] <MGrunde> tmske: I'm really not sure.  If it's behaving the same when it's installed with apt and compiled, I'd have to guess that it's an issue with the driver, but that doesn't seem very likely.
[09:12] <kvonb> thanks jpatrick :)
[09:12] <ardchoille> !flashissue | starscreamd
[09:12] <ubotu> starscreamd: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[09:13] <starscreamd> Thanks ubotu
[09:13] <ardchoille> !thanks
[09:13] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:13] <starscreamd> err ard
[09:13] <kvonb> ...for some reason Kubuntu will not shutdown, and I noticed my etc rc0.d folder was empty!
[09:13] <ardchoille> :)
[09:13] <jpatrick> starscreamd: and /topic
[09:14] <_CitizenKane_> James296, kvonb you can change into /etc/init.d folder
[09:14] <tmske> MGrunde: well the strange thing is that I haven't found anyone with my problem, so I think it's something I did wrong, but I don't know what.  I tried to reinstall a couple of times but I didn't work
[09:14] <tmske> reinstall ndiswrapper that is
[09:15] <_CitizenKane_> and then update-rc.d for the startup scripts
[09:15] <James296> who here likes using Dolphin?
[09:15] <cptR3D> I like using it fine
[09:15] <MGrunde> As do I.
[09:15] <_CitizenKane_> James296, it's alright, I prefer the KDE4 version much more though
[09:15] <James296> how is KDE4 shaping up btw?
[09:15] <kvonb>  <_CitizenKane_> so I just run: sudo update-rc.d from the init.d folder?
[09:16] <James296> I never got to test it out
[09:16] <_CitizenKane_> James296, quite nicely, not too much crashing anymore :)
[09:16] <James296> lol
[09:16] <James296> great
[09:16] <James296> cant wait
[09:16] <MGrunde> tmske:  Okay, lets try uninstalling your compiled version, then "modprobe -r ndiswrapper"
[09:16] <James296> I cant test it out now mainly because Im way over my bandwidth usage :-(
[09:16] <_CitizenKane_> James296, but it is quite nice, pretty snappy, looks good
[09:17] <tmske> MGrunde: ok I'll do that
[09:17] <James296> anyway I SHOULd get goin I have work in the afternoon I need sleep lol
[09:17] <MGrunde> tmske: Then install it with apt, and along with it, install ndisgtk
[09:18] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, something like this: sudo update-rc.d [script-name-here] defaults
[09:18] <oakxx> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[09:18] <oakxx> anyone  use the ndiswrapper driver version for his type of card?
[09:18] <oakxx> this
[09:20] <MGrunde> tmske: the package name for ndiswrapper is ndiswrapper-common
[09:20] <MGrunde> oakxx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177
[09:20] <kvonb> ok, thanks :)
[09:20] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, that will install all of the symlinks into the correct folders
[09:21] <podr0znik> morning :)
[09:21] <jpatrick> moin podr0znik
[09:21] <podr0znik> just a quick question
[09:21] <tmske> MGrunde: done
 sorry, what goes here:  [script-name-here]
[09:21] <podr0znik> I'm trying to playback an .avi file, but kaffeine seems not to be able to handle this
[09:21] <podr0znik> do I have to get some plugin or better another player?
[09:21] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, the name of the startup script
[09:21] <MGrunde> tmske: try running ndisgtk and installing
[09:22] <MGrunde> installing the driver for your card*
[09:22] <drkguy_> Guys
[09:22] <tmske> MGrunde: done, it shows hardware present
[09:22] <MGrunde> tmske: And what does iwconfig say?
[09:22] <cptR3D> i use vlc
[09:23] <Drk_Guy> guys
[09:23] <cptR3D> and watch divx and xvid
[09:23] <Drk_Guy> I did what you suggested
[09:23] <Drk_Guy> And it worked like a charm
 ok, so for each entry in the list that patrick gave me?
[09:23] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, minus the number
[09:23] <MGrunde> Glad it worked out for you Drk_Guy
[09:23] <_CitizenKane_> kvonb, if you do: ls /etc/init.d
[09:23] <kvonb> ah, excellent, thanks :)
[09:24] <jpatrick> kvonb: assuming you have it installed tho :=
[09:24] <_CitizenKane_> you can see all of the startup scripts
[09:24] <tmske> MGrunde: still nothing, but I do have FATAL; could not open /lib/modules/.....ndiswrapper.ko: No such file or directory, so I asume something went wrong installing, I'll try again
[09:24] <kvonb> thanks guys, I'll give it a go :)
[09:25] <MGrunde> tmske: that error looks very familiar.  I'm sure I've seen that, I belive it gave me quite a bit of trouble.  Can't think of how I fixed it though...
[09:26] <podr0znik> the description of VLC looks interesting
[09:26] <podr0znik> trying now
[09:28] <MGrunde> tmske: Before you reinstall ndiswrapper-common "modprobe -r ndiswrapper" "sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.[***]-[***]/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper"
[09:29] <cptR3D> hey podr0znik I aslo think i have a divx thing installed just search for it in the adept installer or something
[09:30] <_CitizenKane_> podr0znik, try installing ffmpeg
[09:30] <cptR3D> but I can play mp3s, avi's and all that goodness that i download
[09:30] <podr0znik> mp3s I can play in Amarok after installing mp3 support
[09:31] <cptR3D> :]
[09:31] <podr0znik> but surely sb will say that Amarok is hopeless and there are better programs :)
[09:32] <cptR3D> sb?
[09:32] <MGrunde> podr0znik: installing kubuntu-restricted-extras should fix things up for you.  It'll also install Java and some other things, so if you don't want those, don't do it.
[09:32] <cptR3D> where is the restricted extras?
[09:32] <ardchoille> !info kubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:32] <ubotu> kubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB
[09:32] <MGrunde> Thanks ardchoille
[09:32] <ardchoille> yw
[09:33] <MGrunde> (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras)
[09:33] <jpatrick> yep
[09:33] <podr0znik> it seems to work already
[09:35] <podr0znik> it works perfectly fine now :)
[09:36] <tmske> MGrunde: that doesn't work either, I don't get the FATAL if I install ndiswrapper from source, else I do get it
[09:41] <MGrunde> tmske:  Okay, then what does ndiswrapper -l say?
[09:42] <kraut> moin
[09:42] <ScottG> it's far too early..
[09:43] <ScottG> my 3 year old daughter can't sleep.. so neither can I..
[09:46] <tmske> MGrunde: ndiswrapper -l still says it is correctly installed. I get the FATAL message when modprobing.  I found in ubuntuforums that other people couldn't downgrade to apt packages after installing ndiswrapper 1.51 from source
[09:47] <tmske> MGrunde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417731&highlight=FATAL&page=9 here it is, but no solution :s
[09:47] <MGrunde> Yeah.  I was just reading that.
[09:49] <MGrunde> Wait, is the FATAL message an "operation not permitted" message, or a "No such file or directory" message
[09:50] <tmske> MGrunde: No such file or directory
[09:51] <MGrunde> Okay, updatedb, then locate ndiswrapper.ko
[09:53] <MGrunde> Anything?
[09:54] <tmske> MGrunde: ok I'll try that in a moment, was just trying again with ndiswrapper compiled from source and running it with ndiswrapper-buginfo: it gives me an error message ERROR: Module ndiswrapper does not exist in /proc/modules
[09:55] <tmske> MGrunde: i'll now try to locate with apt package

[10:03] <Tm_T> shitsweak: hi, can I ask you to change your nick?
[10:03] <matteo_2504> how to install kde4
[10:03] <Hirvinen> !kde4 | matteo_2504
[10:03] <ubotu> matteo_2504: kde4 is KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://tinyurl.com/2gqwmr - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php

[10:05] <cptR3D> lol
[10:05] <tmske> matteo_2504: if you know how to compile I would recommend you to compile packages from svn, it will take a while and it's harder than just install the packages, but you will be more up to date: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started/Build/KDE4
[10:08] <cptR3D> soo can anyone help me on the issue of my laptop freezing when I close the lid?

[10:12] <tmske> MGrunde: well it looks like there were ndiswrapper.ko files for the wrong kernel, I removed them now trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and see if it works, if not, I'll try to reboot into the kernel that they were installed to, to check if it works there
[10:12] <cptR3D> thanks
[10:12] <cptR3D> I have the patience
[10:12] <cptR3D> I will try later ya'll r pretty helpful
[10:12] <jussi01> cptR3D: now, what sort of graphics card do you have?
[10:13] <jussi01> cptR3D: and please show me the forums thread you were speaking about.
[10:13] <MGrunde> tmske: Actually, it make work if you just copy the file to your current kernel's /lib/modules folder
[10:14] <cptR3D> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579469
[10:14] <matteo_2504> if i want to install kd4 i use konsole terminal or i must enter kubuntu?
[10:14] <cptR3D> in the form i have the d505 actually so I think i need that i810
[10:15] <tmske> matteo_2504: it should work from terminal
[10:15] <matteo_2504> with x-windows?
[10:15] <chakie> wrt the "Flash plugin installation is currently broken" thing, will flash ever work in konqueror again or is it time to migrate to firefox?
[10:15] <jussi01> cptR3D: you have which chipset?
[10:16] <matteo_2504> need enlightment how to install please
[10:16] <jussi01> !flashissues | chakie
[10:16] <ubotu> chakie: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[10:16] <chakie> jussi01: i didn't mean downloading, i meant flash not just working at all

[10:18] <chakie> llutz: heh
[10:18] <taco> how do i open the data on my SD card
[10:18] <jussi01> cptR3D: I think sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will so it - you can choose i810 there. but be sure to back up your xorg.conf first.

[10:23] <tmske> MGrunde: well I installed the hardy kernel (also the ndiswrapper packages of hardy) because of a acpi error that was fixed in 2.6.24, so copying won't work. all the other packages are from gutsy.

[11:00] <jussi01> Freku: everything ok?
[11:00] <ScottG> starscreamd: there's an easy solution to this
[11:01] <Stevie2k> hi @all
[11:02] <jussi01> !hi | Stevie2k
[11:02] <ubotu> Stevie2k: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[11:02] <Stevie2k> I have a very strange problem with my keyboard...
[11:02] <starscreamd> Sweet I just got it. I installed emerald and did emerald --replace. How can I set these as the default apps
[11:03] <Stevie2k> I log on into kde and after that the keyboard seems to be nearly dead... It takes about one second until a character comes up....
[11:03] <Stevie2k> I am even not able to switch to a console to check the running processes and so on...
[11:04] <jussi01> Stevie2k: how is the rest of performance? ie with mouse etc?
[11:04] <Stevie2k> no problems... even compiz
[11:04] <Stevie2k> runs without any loss of performance
[11:04] <starscreamd> Tried another keyboard Stevie2k?
[11:05] <Stevie2k> I use the same keyboard for another pc
[11:05] <Stevie2k> (I am just using that one...)
[11:05] <Stevie2k> and I don't have any problems bevore logging into kde...
[11:05] <starscreamd> Try to use a different keyboard on the PC you're having issues with to start with.
[11:06] <Stevie2k> Can it be a keyboard issue if everything is fine - except when I log into KDE?
[11:06] <starscreamd> If I put a file into ~.kde/Autostart to start emerald would that be effective? Anyone try this?
[11:07] <starscreamd> Might be.. You could completely rule it out if a seperate keyboard has issues
[11:08] <Stevie2k> hmmm.. I have to check if I find another keyboard...
[11:10] <starscreamd> brb, trying auto-install script..
[11:11] <Stevie2k> could the keyboard
[11:11] <Stevie2k> sry... forget it..
[11:11] <cptR3D> jussi01: after restart I got a message to continue or choose something so I chose something and it gave me multipul choices or scan so i did scan and my screen fuzzed and came back and gave me the same options so i chose '0' (?? had no idea what to do) and it loaded fine but still froze when I opened the lid
[11:12] <starscreamd> Sweet, it worked
[11:13] <cptR3D> jussi01:  upon restart I got the same option to chose or contine so i contued and it loaded just fine but it still froze when i oped the lid
[11:13] <cptR3D> how do I restore my backedup file?
[11:20] <vladimir> yo
[11:20] <vladimir> man
[11:20] <vladimir> whatsup
[11:20] <vladimir> stupid thing that i cant login as root with su
[11:24] <fdoving> vladimir: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more info on that subject. you can activate the regular su easily.
[11:36] <Stevie2k> :-) I solved my keyboard problem...
[11:37] <ubuntu_> Hi :)
[11:37] <Minnozz> Hi, anybody knows why I can't paste my screenshot in (for instance) KolourPaint when I 'Copy to clipboard' in KSnapshot?
[11:37] <Stevie2k> It was a setting for handicapped people to slow down the keyboard... and this was set to 500ms so the keyboard was really very slow...
[11:37] <ubuntu_> i just install kubuntu 7.10 i choose not to  install grub, and now on reboot i get message "missing operating system"
[11:37] <Stevie2k> thx @all and bye
[11:38] <ubuntu_> i thougth if i don't install grub system wil autmaticly install boot sector
[11:38] <ubuntu_> any ideas what is wrong
[11:38] <Freku> maybe your harddisk with kubuntu is not in your bios bootlist
[11:39] <ubuntu_> it is only hard disc i got, and it is first on boot list
[11:39] <etfb> I found an interim solution to the problem of Kopete "stealing" keys away from other applications, if anyone's interested...
[11:39] <etfb> It was stopping Ctrl+Shift+W from closing Firefox, because it means "Toggle 'Away' Status" in Kopete
[11:40] <ubuntu_> i'm thinking about install again witch grub and just set timeotu to "0" but it's not nice solution :|
[11:40] <jussi01> ubuntu_: you need grub
[11:40] <ubuntu_> is there anything like windows fixmbr?
[11:41] <ubuntu_> but if ubuntu is only system on my hd, then what for?
[11:41] <etfb> The solution is to define any commands you want as global keyboard shortcuts using the System Settings / Keyboard thingy.  Added bonus is that they then work in all programs, so I can close any program using the shortcut that I grew used to just in Firefox.
[11:41] <jussi01> ubuntu_: grub boots ubuntu. you need it.
[11:41] <etfb> A real solution would be for the Kopete maintainers not to steal key commands, of course...
[11:41] <ubuntu_> ok, thanx
[11:41] <ubuntu_> roger, roger :)
[11:43] <dani_> hi
[11:45] <pjfloyd> anyone know what's the problem with command line completion?
[11:46] <pjfloyd> esc-esc doesn't complete until another key is pressed (e.g., space)
[11:48] <etfb> pjfloyd: It's using Emacs keyboard shortcuts, so Esc is kind of tricky and might even be confusing matters.  What is Esc Esc supposed to do in this case?
[11:49] <pjfloyd> etfb: just completion, like tab in some systems
[11:49] <etfb> What shell?
[11:49] <pjfloyd> etfb: I normally use ksh, but I think it's with bash
[11:50] <djdarkman> hello, is there a better file system cheker than fsck? fsck seemmed to have destroyed my /home on another machine and I want it back
[11:50] <Minnozz> anybody knows why I can't paste my screenshot in (for instance) KolourPaint when I 'Copy to clipboard' in KSnapshot?
[11:50] <etfb> I use bash, and I don't seem to get any particular response when I press Esc Esc.
[11:50] <pjfloyd> perhaps I'll try a real ksh from AT&T
[11:51] <jpatrick> pjfloyd: if you tab completation use zsh
[11:51] <pjfloyd> I'm used to using esc-esc
[11:51] <girolamo> !italiano
[11:51] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:52] <etfb> Minnozz: KolourPaint is pretty minimalist; maybe it doesn't handle the clipboard very well.  Clipboard is still a dark art in Linux -- not like MacOS or that other popular operating system, where it's actually pretty stable and easy to use.
[11:52] <Minnozz> lol @ 'that other popular operating system'
[11:53] <jussi01> Minnozz: have you considerd saving the screenshot, then opening with said program?
[11:53] <Minnozz> etfb: thanks for the info, now I know it's not a configuration problem
[11:53] <pjfloyd> (I have Solaris and FreeBSD running at the moment, and for both with bash if I type, say "ls bo[esc-esc]" it completes to "ls boost_1_34_1/"
[11:53] <etfb> Minnozz: I try not to mention its name.  It's like saying "Macbeth" among actors.  Maybe I should call it "The Scottish OS", but nobody would understand me...
[11:53] <gspr> What packages should be installed for KDE 4 in Hardy?
[11:53] <jussi01> !kde4 > gspr
[11:53] <etfb> Minnozz: I'm just guessing based on what I know about these things though, so don't give up on my account.
[11:54] <Minnozz> jussi01: yes I know that works, but it's one more step to make, pasting it directly is faster (that's why I asked)
[11:54] <jussi01> Minnozz: ahh, ok :D
[11:54] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: You have to enable image handling in Klipper.  Wait a sec ...
[11:54] <Minnozz> ah, solution! =D
[11:55] <etfb> Minnozz: (See?  "The danger in declaring something to be impossible is that you'll be trampled by all the people busy doing it.")
[11:55] <pjfloyd> etfb: Mac OS X clipboard is mediocre when you mix X11 apps
[11:55] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: Close Klipper.  In the [general] section of ~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc, and the line IgnoreImages=false
[11:55] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: Re-start klipper and it should work.
[11:55] <etfb> pjfloyd: Probably a symptom of the poor quality X11 implementation they use, if my reading is accurate.
[11:55] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: (I've just tested it here)
[11:56] <Minnozz> SSJ_GZ: okay, thanks a lot!
[11:56] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: np :)
[11:56] <etfb> SSJ_GZ: Shiny!  Thanks for that one!
[11:56] <SSJ_GZ> :)
[11:56] <pjfloyd> etfb: possible, Lepoard switched to Xorg, and it still has lots of problems
[11:56] <SSJ_GZ> Background reading: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1787
[11:58] <Minnozz> SSJ_GZ: It worked, thanks again! ;)
[11:58] <SSJ_GZ> Minnozz: Great!
[11:59] <etfb> SSJ_GZ: Another one for my Read Me bookmark folder.  Thanks.  Has anyone else noticed how useful Firefox tabs are for IRC?  I come away from an extended chat session with a pile of open tabs, which I then save as a bookmarked folder and spend the next day browsing.  Excellent!  But I digress...
[11:59] <etfb> Has anyone noticed that the Downloads dialog in Firefox doesn't work under Kubuntu?  That is, you can download files, but often the "Open" link does nothing.
[12:00] <nick__> Hey everyone, i have an zipping question.  I have a 5.12gb file and I want to compress it to fit on a standard dvd.  I've tried using ark but it doesn't seem to compress it very much.  Do I have any other options?
[12:00] <etfb> Also, I can't open the "All files download to" folder either.  Worked in Ubuntu, as far as I can remember, but does nothing in Kubuntu.
[12:01] <etfb> nick__: What format is the file?
[12:01] <etfb> nick__: If it's video or JPEG, it's already compressed close to the optimal amount.
[12:01] <nick__> etfb: It is a collection of 13 .avi files in one folder
[12:02] <etfb> nick__: You're out of luck then.  AVI is pretty efficient already.  You won't find a compression tool to decrease it significantly.
[12:02] <etfb> nick__: Can you burn dual-layer DVDs?
[12:02] <nick__> etfb: hmmm, alright, guess I'll have to split it up, unfortunately no :)
[12:03] <etfb> nick__: Probably best; don't trust your important files to new technology!
[12:03] <nick__> etfb: Just out of curiosity, about what ratio does ark compress things to, say I had an uncompressed .mov file
[12:03] <etfb> nick__: Length of a piece of string multiplied by the number you first thought of.
[12:04] <etfb> nick__: In other words, it depends.
[12:04] <nick__> etfb: that's a funny saying :)
[12:04] <etfb> nick__: Video, audio and jpegs won't compress much though.  Text will often go down to 33% or so.  Executables vary widely.  Other formats are anyone's guess.
[12:05] <nick__> etfb: Thank you so much for your help, you've been very informative
[12:05] <etfb> nick__: (I refer to some calculations as being "LPS Protocol Compliant" if you have no way of guessing how accurate they are -- LPS = Length of a Piece of String)
[12:06] <etfb> nick__: HTH. HAND. And other such silly acronyms.
[12:07] <etfb> So: Firefox.  Can someone else try this for me?  Open Firefox, open the Downloads window, and click the button next to "All files download to".  Does it open a file browser, or just do nothing?
[12:09] <nick__> etfb: Doesn't do anything for me
[12:09] <rothchild> etfb I noticed that was broken too you have to change it in the firefox preferences page
[12:09] <etfb> rothchild: Where?
[12:11] <etfb> rothchild: Can't see any options that specify the file manager to use.  It should just pick up the default.
[12:11] <VampireKing> what you suggest to see chm files ?
[12:11] <etfb> VampireKing: I use kchmviewer.
[12:12] <rothchild> under edit preferences you can change the download folder
[12:12] <etfb> rothchild: Yes - but it doesn't make the button work.
[12:13] <etfb> rothchild: Maybe it's an about:config thing.
[12:13] <rothchild> but when you hit the 'download to' button on the download manager itself as you way it just opens a browser windo
[12:14] <etfb> rothchild: Yeah - which makes me think it's a bug in Firefox, because it's inconsistent.
[12:15] <nick__> Hey, I have one more question, I want to look into using the server edition to use on a home network (backups, media storage, etc..) can anyone point me to a good guide about the server edition?  I'm looking for a primer really
[12:16] <ScottG> wb ubuntu_
[12:16] <ScottG> is that a default username in an IRC client?
[12:17] <noaXess> what best to use on kde for recording sound from mic?
[12:17] <zerlord^> hallo
[12:18] <rothchild> nick__ samba will do most of what you want or you could look at stuff about LAMP servers for more advanced setups
[12:18] <rothchild> noaXess: for simple stuff (non multitrack) you can't really beat Audacity
[12:19] <jussi01> ScottG: I think so
[12:19] <nick__> rothchild: Thanks for the tip I'm looking into it now
[12:19] <noaXess> rothchild: i want just record my voices over a mic..
[12:22] <rothchild> noaXess: yup audacity
[12:22] <noaXess> rothchild: ah.. i see ;) sorry..
[12:25] <mauri> I have to load a new gspca module but i'm don't know how to do that
[12:31] <mauri> i've a question on dolphin
[12:33] <jussi01> !ask | mauri
[12:33] <ubotu> mauri: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:34] <Ayabara> I have been using gnome, but decided to install kubuntu-desktop yesterday, since I use a lot of kde-apps. When I logged into the kde-session, my networking didn't work, but it works fine in gnome. Make any sense?
[12:35] <Blissex> Ayabara: no.
[12:35] <mauri> jussi01: if i opne storage media, i don't find a floppy
[12:35] <Blissex> Ayabara: the network is independent of the desktop environment. Most likely it is the web proxy that is not setup.
[12:35] <Ayabara> Blissex, ok. what does that mean I have to do?
[12:36] <Blissex> Ayabara: try 'ping www.kubuntu.org' inside Konsole.
[12:36] <Blissex> Ayabara: what you have to do depends on what you mean with "networking didn't work"
[12:36] <Blissex> ubotu does not not work
[12:37] <jussi01> mauri: !test
[12:37] <jussi01> !test
[12:37] <ubotu> Failed.
[12:37] <Blissex> ubotu doesn't not work
[12:37] <Ayabara> Blissex, I'll check it out. I can start a kde session on another terminal while my current gnome is up and running, right?
[12:37] <Blissex> !doesn't not work
[12:37] <mauri> jussi01: sorry i dont understand
[12:37] <jussi01> mauri: it was a mistake, my apoligies.
[12:38] <Blissex> Ayabara: sure, or you can run KDE inside a virtual X desktop, for example with 'Xephyr' or 'Xnest'. But probably is simpler on another terminal.
[12:38] <Ayabara> Blissex, ok. right back :-)
[12:40] <Ayabara> Blissex, I got an error that "Server is already active for Display 0". What I tried was logging in and typing startx. The wrong command?
[12:40] <Blissex> Ayabara: yes. try 'startx -- :1'
[12:42] <Blissex> Ayabara: if you play around with both GNOME and KDE you can always use 'xinit' or 'xinit -- :1' and then type 'startkde' or 'gnome-session' in the resulting terminal window.
[12:42] <MGalaxy> Hi, I need a software to mount .ISO and .BIN images with "Automount After Restart" feature, any solution?
[12:42] <Blissex> Ayabara: BTW, you haven't yet said what you mean by "networking does not work"
[12:42] <Blissex> MGalaxy: yes.
[12:43] <ScottG> I would imagine internet connection, Blissex
[12:43] <janelle> how is everyone?
[12:43] <ScottG> hello janelle
[12:43] <jussi01> hi janelle
[12:43] <Blissex> ScottG: "internet connection" is almost as dumb as "networking does not work"...
[12:43] <Ayabara> Blissex, and now networking of course works fine :-)
[12:43] <etfb> Possible solution to the Firefox problems I was mentioning earlier!  http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/integrating_firefox_and_thunderbird_into_kde
[12:43] <ScottG> I'm well, you?
[12:43] <Blissex> Ayabara: good, good, good.
[12:43] <etfb> Firefox doesn't integrate well into Kubuntu.  The above link claims to fix many of the problems.  Yay!
[12:44] <ScottG> Blissex.. do you think calling someone dumb is constructive?
[12:44] <Ayabara> Blissex, I'm gonna reboot and see if it works on the first kde-start. thanks for educating
[12:44] <Ayabara> Blissex, because I didn't know what was not working, and now I hope I never find out.
[12:44] <MGalaxy> Blissex: what is it?
[12:44] <janelle> fixing to install and try kubuntu alternate cd
[12:44] <Blissex> Ayabara: the key to checking network connections is first to check with 'ping' first locally and then remotely...
[12:45] <Ayabara> Blissex, and the phrasing _was_ kinda dumb, so I'm not too offended ;-)
[12:45] <elvirolo> hi everyone
[12:45] <Ayabara> anyway. I'll reboot and take it from there.
[12:45] <ScottG> I think "internet connection" is accepted as a term meaning "connection to the public internet" but I'll drop it right there.
[12:46] <elvirolo> can one transfer mp3's to 5th gen Ipods using amarok under kubuntu ?
[12:46] <cptR3D> jussi01: u still here?
[12:46] <jussi01> cptR3D: yes
[12:47] <cptR3D> jussi01:  get my reply from earlier?
[12:47] <jussi01> cptR3D: nope
[12:48] <cptR3D> how can i pm u
[12:48] <jussi01> cptR3D: dont. Ask here
[12:49] <jussi01> just remember to use my name  in the question if you want to direct it at me
[12:50] <janelle> finding your specific distro can be hard!
[12:50] <cptR3D> jussi01: <cptR3D> jussi01: after restart I got a message to continue or choose something so I chose something and it gave me multipul choices or scan so i did scan and my screen fuzzed and came back and gave me the same options so i chose '0' (?? had no idea what to do) and it loaded fine but still froze when I opened the lid
[12:51] <janelle> does anyone know if installing distros is hard on your harddrive?
[12:51] <cptR3D> jussi01: <cptR3D> jussi01: after restart I got a message to continue or choose something so I chose something and it gave me multipul choices or scan so i did scan and my screen fuzzed and came back and gave me the same options so i chose '0' (?? had no idea what to do) and it loaded fine but still froze when I opened the lid
[12:51] <Eds> janelle, you mean does it hurt or overstress your hdd?

[12:52] <Eds> Janelle, you shouldnt have an issue, i have machines at work that get a fresh OS every 2 days :P they have been running fine for 3 years
[12:52] <ScottG> xubuntu is a lighter 'buntu version :)
[12:52] <ScottG> oh.. nm
[12:52] <ScottG> you mean repeatedly installing different distros..
[12:53] <janelle> im horrible with making choices because i feel the need to consider everything
[12:53] <cptR3D> jussi01: <cptR3D> jussi01:  upon restart I got the same option to chose or contine so i contued and it loaded just fine but it still froze when i oped the lid
[12:53] <cptR3D> jussi01: <cptR3D> how do I restore my backedup file?
[12:53] <jussi01> cptR3D: i got it... have patience..
[12:53] <ScottG> well.. not one particular distro will be perfect in every way.. you have to pick the one that fits best
[12:53] <Eds> janelle, I know your pain, im still working out what to use, Kubuntu, OpenSuSE or PCLinux
[12:54] <ScottG> Eds: Same here.. I'm dual booting PCLOS and Kubuntu..
[12:54] <cptR3D> jussi01: okay sry
[12:54] <janelle> for me its mandriva pclos and now kubuntu
[12:54] <Eds> ScottG, how do you find PCLOS?
[12:54] <jussi01> cptR3D: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:54] <Eds> janelle, I had too many warnings about mandriva :P

[12:55] <janelle> same here
[12:55] <ScottG> sorry juss101
[12:55] <jussi01> :)
[12:55] <Ayabara> Blissex: knetwork-manager says "no active device". then I started a gnome-session with networking. then the kde session detected something and asked me for the wep-key.
[12:56] <raymears> hello, everyone. i have a slight problemo over here. i installed ubuntu on my machine (kubuntu wouldn't install), then used apt-get install kubuntu-something to install kubuntu, then removed gnome with sudo apt-get remove gnome-* and apt-get remove gdm.
[12:56] <ScottG> raymears: and?
[12:56] <raymears> no i have no sound, cannot shutdown the computer (it freezes) and most of the services are shown as not running
[12:57] <janelle> how has gutsy been quality wise scottg and eds
[12:57] <Blissex> Ayabara: you should have said instead of "networking does not work" that you had WiFi access to your LAN. *which* networking does not work matters a great deal.
[12:57] <raymears> amarok does not start, even killall only works from time to time
[12:57] <Eds> janelle, jump over to the #kubuntu-offtopic channel :P
[12:57] <janelle> okie dokie
[12:57] <raymears> mostly it does not work, though
[12:57] <Blissex> Ayabara: in theory your Kubuntu should activate the WiFi interface before starting the GUI.
[12:57] <Ayabara> Blissex: only problem is that I did not know what the problem was at the time
[12:57] <Ayabara> ok
[12:58] <ScottG> janelle, join #kubuntu-offtopic Eds and I are talking there
[12:58] <raymears> basically my computer is unusable. any suggestions?
[12:58] <Blissex> Ayabara: so you should use the Ubuntu network manager to ensure that the WiFi comes up at boot regardless. As to the WiFi key/passphrase you will have to put it into some kind of file.
[12:59] <Blissex> raymears: sounds like hw problems.
[12:59] <raymears> nope.
[12:59] <raymears> gnome worked like a charm
[12:59] <Ayabara> Blissex: the wep is entered, so that works. I think I'm ok for now
[12:59] <Blissex> raymears: BTW, removing all of GNOME is not a good idea, because some Ubuntu GUI configuration apps are GNOME only.
[13:00] <Ayabara> how do I disable touchpad tapping in kubuntu?
[13:00] <raymears> i was just reconsidering installing gnome again via apt-get install gnome-desktop
[13:00] <uzz> русские есть?)
[13:01] <zerlord^> hello @ all
[13:01] <zerlord^> i have a problem with my kubuntu... i wanna install dual screen with nvidia
[13:01] <zerlord^> i have 2 nvidia 7900gtx
[13:02] <jussi01> !dualhead | zerlord^
[13:02] <ubotu> zerlord^: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[13:02] <ScottG> Ayabara: I've always used qsynaptics to change that setting
[13:02] <jussi01> !xinerama > zerlord^
[13:07] <Blissex> raymears: reinztalling GNOME might me a good idea. Then use Aptitude or Synaptics to remove the less useful bits, like the front-end gui elements.
[13:07] <Ayabara> holy crap, ktorrent is faster than the last time I used it :-D

[13:36] <emilsedgh> mad people!
[13:38] <astan> hrm. i can't choose "WPA Enterprise" in knetworkmanager, it's not there in the list.. do i need to install something special?
[13:38] <astan> only WPA Personal is there.
[13:40] <Lynoure> astan: You are actually using WPA enterprise, with radius server?
[13:41] <gino> ññ
[13:41] <Lynoure> Just asking because many people try to choose it because it sounds better, despite them not having the setup for it in their network.
[13:41] <jpatrick> !es > gino
[13:41] <astan> Lynoure: yea i think so, it's a FON router, i think it uses a radius server.. i'm not 100% though, it's just that WPA Personal didn't work.
[13:42] <astan> Lynoure: and i remember seeing the WPA Enterprise option there before (think it was when i was running feisty), but now it's not there.
[13:42] <Lynoure> astan: FON router, at least the little white ones you get from them, do not do radius
[13:43] <noaXess> how to search for a package that should contain a spec. library?
[13:43] <noaXess> need libmp3lame.so.0 and whant to know which package i need to install.
[13:44] <jussi01> !find libmp3lame.so
[13:44] <ubotu> File libmp3lame.so found in liblame-dev
[13:44] <jussi01> noaXess: ^^
[13:44] <noaXess> jussi01: aha okay.. :) thanks
[13:44] <jussi01> :)
[13:44] <astan> Lynoure: hm. okay. they run a radius server at their end though, but maybe that's not the same thing.
[13:45] <astan> Lynoure: i wonder why i can't connect to the FONs WPA network then.. hrm..
[13:45] <Lynoure> astan: I don't think they do... unless they changed things wildly since I got my La Fonera
[13:45] <Lynoure> astan: the public wlan has authentication at their servers, but then again, no WPA
[13:46] <astan> Lynoure: ah okay.. i just saw that http://stefans.datenbruch.de/lafonera/ was talking about some radius server at FON..
[13:46] <matteo_2504> how to make a cd repository?
[13:46] <astan> hm. need to figure out how to get it working with WPA Personal then..
[13:47] <jussi01> !aptoncd | matteo_2504
[13:47] <ubotu> matteo_2504: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[13:49] <matteo_2504> if i update, where folder updated file?
[13:49] <noaXess> a little problem.. i have installed the restricted river for my nvidia.. now i can't set the whole system font to eg. size 8.. each kde app has now it's own font size. any idea?
[13:50] <astan> i thinks this might be the problem; Dec 30 14:48:00 pyret NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_dbus_get_user_key_for_network_cb(): nm_dbus_get_user_key_for_network_cb(): dbus returned an error.   (org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.GetKeyError) org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.GetKeyError
[13:50] <astan> not sure what it means though, or how to fix it.
[13:51] <OsamaK> Hello! Is KUbuntu same of Ubuntu? I mean the only different between them is KDE desktop, no?
[13:52] <Blissex> OsamaK: yes.
[13:52]  * noaXess is away: Gone away for now.
[13:53] <OsamaK> Blissex: I use Ubuntu now, which is better, download KDE then install it or download KUbuntu?
[13:53] <jpatrick> !away > noaXess
[13:53] <Blissex> OsamaK: probably it is rather quicker to start with the Kubuntu disk. GNOME is not small...
[13:53]  * noaXess is back.
[13:53] <Lynoure> astan: did you browse your network from knetworkmanager, or did you input it manually? (for some reason latter often works better)
[13:53] <noaXess> jpatrick: okay.. sorry..
[13:54] <OsamaK> Blissex: Is there a tornrt link?
[13:54] <jpatrick> noaXess: no problem
[13:54] <astan> Lynoure: i browsed it.. but from what i can tell from syslog output, it seems to find the network just fine, just can't connect. i'll try manually too.
[13:55] <romunov> what program can manage my bookmarks, addresses, emails... and backs them up?
[13:57] <Blissex> OsamaK: sure, there are several Ubuntu/Kubuntu torrents.
[13:57] <Lynoure> astan: try the other way anyway, does not take much time.
[13:57] <OsamaK> Blowfish: could you give it to me?
[13:59] <astan> Lynoure: hm. no difference it seems. this is the relevant part of my syslog output during the connection attempt; http://franzkafe.se/log.txt .. no idea what's going wrong :/
[14:00] <astan> (disregard the failed connection attempts from synergyc in that log, they're not related).
[14:01] <downix> man, when did Enlightenment become the zippy WM?!?
[14:02] <noaXess> jpatrick: yeah.. about my problem after installing the restricted nvidia driver.. the system font i set, will not used on kde apps.. if i set the whole system font to size 9 it won't work also an gtk apps..
[14:02] <noaXess> i have the setting use kde font for gtk apps
[14:02] <jpatrick> noaXess: I'm sorry, but I have an ATI card, no experience with the NVidia
[14:03] <downix> how come everyone limits themselves to nVidia/ATI when there are other GPU companies out there, some with more open-source friendliness?
[14:03] <OsamaK> Blissex: Any ideas?
[14:03] <OsamaK> Let me start downloading ;)
[14:04] <Ayabara> I'm on an asus laptop. the fn-keys (volume, brightness ++) works fine in ubuntu, but not in kubuntu.

[14:04] <noaXess> downix: on a laptop normaly there is only nvidia or ati :)
[14:04] <llutz> noaXess: intel
[14:05] <noaXess> Ayabara: me too.. have also a asus vx2 laptop and i'm on kubuntu..

[14:05] <Ayabara> noaXess: have you done research an given up on it?

[14:07] <Blissex> Ayabara: apparently Kubuntu is done by a single guy and is not quite as custom-configured as Ubuntu...
[14:07] <noaXess> Ayabara: haven't research jet.. cause i do brightness change over the power management tool..
[14:07] <llutz> downix: i haven't seen cards from them for ages, not very common in EU it seems
[14:07] <Ayabara> Blissex: now that sounds scary...
[14:08] <senorpedro> hi folks
[14:08] <Blissex> Ayabara: no, it just means it is quite as polished. But lots of people use Kubuntu and there is quite a large community.
[14:08] <noaXess> downix: what brand of notebook do you have?
[14:08] <noaXess> Ayabara: i think there is any tool to install, that it work..
[14:09] <senorpedro> i installed ubuntu-desktop but now i want to remove it, but when doing apititude purge ubuntu-desktop it only removes the metapackage ubuntu-desktop and not all the other with ubuntu-desktop installed packages. how can i cleanly remove all packages that have come with ubuntu-desktop?
[14:09] <OsamaK> Hello all! Is there a tornet link for KUbuntu? if yes, please give to me..
[14:09] <Ayabara> noaXess: sry, I didn't understand that. you meant I can install a package that will make it work?
[14:09] <jussi01> senorpedro: you are wishing to have kde only?
[14:09] <jussi01> !purekde | senorpedro
[14:09] <ubotu> senorpedro: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE »
[14:10] <noaXess> Ayabara: i think there is a package.. but in the moment i don't know which one..
[14:11] <Ayabara> noaXess: ok.
[14:11] <jussi01> OsamaK: are you after the cd or dvd?
[14:11] <noaXess> Ayabara: what asus nb do you have?
[14:12] <jussi01> OsamaK: the dvd torrent is here: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/gutsy/release/dvd/
[14:12] <downix> llutz: That I can see from ST Micro (they focus on US and Asia) but XGI's always been popular in eastern europe.. no idea tho *shrug*
[14:13] <Ayabara> noaXess: the F3SC
[14:13] <Blissex> here in the UK I doubt one can buy wither ST or XGI cards. But it would be interesting to know, looking.
