[12:19] <jonkan> when i try to log on to msn
[12:19] <[Surge] > What does it not do?
[12:19] <brk3> jonkan: you may have to update your version
[12:20] <brk3> msn changed their shit that stopped the default version from working
[12:20] <[Surge] > Mine works
[12:20] <brk3> jonkan: does it keep asking for you password?
[12:20] <[Surge] > Let me check the version
[12:20] <jonkan> who do i do that?
[12:20] <jonkan> i am a noob whit bad english
[12:20] <jonkan> ;)
[12:20] <jonkan> yes
[12:21] <brk3> jonkan: update my man
[12:21] <[Surge] > Kopete 0.10
[12:21] <_dennis> anyone here with a thinkpad r50p?
[12:21] <jonkan> i have 0.10
[12:21] <[Surge] > kopete         3.4.0-0ubuntu2 Instant messenger program
[12:22] <[Surge] > Do you already have an MSN account?
[12:22] <jonkan> yes
[12:23] <[Surge] > And I assume you added a MSN account
[12:23] <jonkan> who can i update the program?
[12:23] <jonkan> yes
[12:23] <[Surge] > And used your MSN e-mail in the MSN Passport ID box
[12:23] <jonkan> yes
[12:24] <[Surge] > Does it keep asking for a new password?
[12:24] <jonkan> yes
[12:25] <[Surge] > I mean keep rejecting your password?
[12:25] <[Surge] > I had the same problem
[12:25] <jonkan> "the password was wrong....."
[12:25] <benjamin1254> it does the same to me alot on kopete
[12:25] <[Surge] > Yeah
[12:25] <[Surge] > But I sorted it out ... now if only I can remember how
[12:26] <[Surge] > I either re-installed kopete from universe or it was the new account I created on MSN (website)
[12:27] <jonkan> is that the only way?
[12:27] <[Surge] > Well you can also use gaim
[12:28] <jonkan> and that is?
[12:28] <[Surge] > Similar to kopete but Gnome based
[12:28] <[Surge] > Multiple IM network client
[12:28] <jonkan> where can i download it?
[12:29] <[Surge] > synaptic?
[12:30] <[Surge] > Or apt-get or whatever you prefer
[12:30] <[Surge] > I'm sure it'll be in a repository
[12:31] <mike1> can I run kubuntu on ubuntu warty?
[12:31] <jonkan> this is the first time i use linux, so i cant so much :/
[12:31] <jonkan> *not so much
[12:31] <mike1> changes source.list updates but still not there?
[12:32] <mike1> I used hoary universe
[12:32] <mike1> is there another souce to use?
[12:33] <[Surge] > mike1: I think there is an answer in the ubuntu docs
[12:33] <[Surge] > jonkan: Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to include "universe"
[12:34] <mike1> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
[12:34] <_dennis> hmm, why doesn't the libruby1.8 package include yaml.rb?
[12:34] <[Surge] > jonkan: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
[12:35] <mike1> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe is what I have in my sources.list file?
[12:36] <[Surge] > mike1: Not sure
[12:36] <[Surge] > How old is warty?
[12:36] <jonkan> i will try, brb
[12:37] <mike1> It's the first one
[12:37] <mike1> prob out in dec 2004
[12:38] <seth_k|away> Warty was released in Oct 2004
[12:38] <[Surge] > mike1: Have you read this?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com//InstallingKDE
[12:39] <mike1> no
[12:39] <mike1> but thanks that looks like what I need
[12:40] <[Surge] > It'll do a much better job than I can do :)
[12:40] <[Surge] > jonkan: gaim is in "backports"
[12:40] <jonkan> the comando "sudo gedit" dosent work :/
[12:41] <[Surge] > jonkan: Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file :

[12:41] <[Surge] > Try sudo kate
[12:41] <[Surge] > kate is installed by default
[12:41] <GatoNegro> I love the fact that Kubuntu recogninzed my devices etc... but the whole root thing is getting to me
[12:42] <[Surge] > Nah it's not so bad GatoNegro :)
[12:42] <[Surge] > I got used to it after 1 day
[12:42] <[Surge] > But if you want to you can "su -" to your hearts content
[12:43] <crimsun> sudo -s
[12:43] <crimsun> set a root password, then log in as root
[12:43] <[Surge] > Yup
[12:43] <pax> use official backports
[12:44] <[Surge] > Where do I get a list of official backports?
[12:44] <[Surge] > Still a bit green myself

[12:46] <td> Hi, a quick newbie question: I just installed kubuntu on my hard drive. Switching to root with 'su' is not working - I don't know which password I have to use... (?)
[12:46] <[Surge] > pax so I can delete my old backports without a problem?
[12:46] <pax> sure can

[12:46] <cartel_> hey guys
[12:46] <cartel_> anyone using skype on ubuntu?
[12:47] <cartel_> er kubuntu
[12:47] <pax> and don't forget to sudo apt-get update
[12:47] <pax> cartel, I do
[12:47] <[Surge] > cartel_: Not yet ... I should install it
[12:47] <cartel_> pax: works well?
[12:47] <td> ?
[12:47] <pax> perfect.
[12:47] <cartel_> pax: i have problems connecting and when i do sound is choppy
[12:48] <td> So what is the default root password in kubuntu?
[12:48] <pax> cartel_: check the wiki for the fix
[12:48] <crimsun> td: read the url I sent you
[12:48] <pax> td there's no root pass, use sudo
[12:48] <cartel_> pax: oh there is a fix, thx
[12:49] <pax> td, if you are tired of typing the pass with sudo use sudo -i
[12:50] <[Surge] > There should be a FAQ for new kubuntu users that pops up the first time you read it.
[12:50] <[Surge] > With :
[12:50] <[Surge] > 1. How to update your sources

[12:51] <pax> on having*
[12:51] <[Surge] > Yes I know pax - I was just making a list of common questions that all the new users seem to ask

[12:52] <td> crimsun: Thank you very much!
[12:52] <pax> oh, sorry
[12:52] <[Surge] > I'm just noticing those common ones when guys come here to ask questions and I was asking those same questions 3 days ago :)
[12:53] <pax> [Surge] : ubuntu/kubuntu is well documented but you can never get people to check the docs before asking questions, it's human nature.
[12:53] <[Surge] > That's why they should be popped up on a "welcome" screen
[12:54] <[Surge] > In your face but only have to see it once  :)
[12:54] <pax> ubuntuguide (altho rookies don't like it) have almost every answer to newbies questions
[12:54] <[Surge] > Yes
[12:54] <[Surge] > But not every one has mastered the Internet yet :)
[12:55] <[Surge] > It becomes a question of IRC vs HTML  :)
[12:55] <jsubl2> any one know how to get sound from java apps.. with gnome you disable kde.. can't seem to find a way to do it with kde tho.
[12:55] <cartel_> pax: i cant even get it to connect to echo123

[12:56] <cartel_> it wont connect
[12:56] <pax> oh won't connect, why?
[12:56] <cartel_> the problem is not that there is no sound just wont connect

[12:57] <cartel_> pax: did you just read what i said
[12:57] <pax> sorry, I'm slow.

[01:05] <cartel_> any way to make kmix not monitor the mic
[01:06] <pax> benjamin1254: I'm good at that since I'm newb myself :D

[01:13] <sorush20> really.. can I just remove the gnome componets..
[01:13] <sorush20> form synaptic..
[01:13] <pax> sure can
[01:13] <sorush20> but then there are somethings that are good in synaptic that are not as good in kde..
[01:14] <sorush20> synaptic is one..
[01:14] <benjamin1254> how do u open the WM apps?
[01:14] <sorush20> where as knaptic seems to be lacking..
[01:14] <pax> you can keep synaptic
[01:14] <cartel_> no now it just doesnt work at all in kmix
[01:14] <pax> dont need the entire gnome desktop just to have synaptic
[01:15] <pax> cartel_: toy a bit with kmix you'll get it
[01:15] <benjamin1254> i know i had to and oi was it a pain in my posterior to get my sound to work right
[01:16] <cartel_> ahh got it. capture was unticked

[01:20] <benjamin1254> idk how
[01:20] <pax> if it exists then just add it with kmenuedit
[01:20] <phreakys> i installed php out of the repos, but its without mysql support :/
[01:20] <phreakys> is there a mysql enabled version out of the box?
[01:20] <pax> benjamin1254: open konsole and type: wmweather

[02:26] <phreakys> http://3k2.ath.cx/3k2.ath.cx/test.php
[02:26] <utta> phreakys: what error message are you getting?
[02:26] <phreakys> its in phpinfo
[02:26] <phreakys> it says php is not compiled with mysql
[02:27] <pax> apache-modconf apache enable mod_php4
[02:27] <pax> wait, apache2?
[02:27] <phreakys> yes
[02:28] <phreakys> something wrong?
[02:28] <pax> mysql-server installed?
[02:29] <phreakys> yes
[02:29] <pax> did you test with info.php?
[02:29] <utta> phreakys: go to /etc/php4/apache2, and edit the file php.ini - look at the end of the file for a line similar o extension=mysql.so
[02:29] <phreakys> ehm with phpinfo ()
[02:29] <phreakys> ok, will do
[02:30] <phreakys> yes, its there
[02:30] <phreakys> ; End:

[02:30] <pax> sudo apache2ctl restart
[02:31] <utta> phreakys: ok do an /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload and test again
[02:32] <phreakys> i killed all processes of apache2 and tried again several times
[02:32] <phreakys> its the same again
[02:32] <phreakys> without-mysql :/
[02:33] <phreakys> do i have to build php?
[02:33] <utta> phreakys: Ok try do a sudo apt-get remove --purge php4-mysql, then do a sudo apt-get install php4-mysql
[02:33] <phreakys> ok
[02:33] <benjamin1254> pax: i cant get liquidweather to run but i have the newest version of superkaramba
[02:34] <benjamin1254> i cant even see the file on superkaramba
[02:34] <pax> you'll need themes for superkaramba
[02:34] <benjamin1254> yes i tried DLin it and i cant see the file for it
[02:34] <phreakys> restarting apache
[02:35] <phreakys> same :/
[02:35] <phreakys> i also have php4 package installed. maybe thats wrong?
[02:35] <pax> benjamin1254: theme files you need to open are usually .theme
[02:36] <pax> you need php4
[02:36] <benjamin1254> .theme well this one is  a .skz file
[02:36] <phreakys> ok, php4-mysql is not the whole version?
[02:36] <pax> sudo apache2ctl configtest spits no error?
[02:37] <phreakys> no real errors
[02:37] <phreakys> only something about servername, but that should be irrelevant
[02:37] <pax> sudo apache2ctl graceful
[02:37] <pax> servername, hmm vhost
[02:38] <phreakys> yea, ive got 2 vhosts
[02:38] <phreakys> maybe try building php, instead of getting it from repos?
[02:39] <phreakys> there are quite a few notifications of this kind of problem on google
[02:39] <phreakys> didnt find the sollution yet though :/
[02:39] <pax> the one from repos should work,, you had problems with apache all along, you delete /etc/apache2 at some point iiirc
[02:39] <phreakys> yea, but its ok again
[02:40] <utta> phreakys: are you sure you have php setup with apache2?
[02:40] <phreakys> yea, i installed php with kynaptic
[02:40] <phreakys> and apt-get install php4
[02:40] <phreakys> + apt-get install php4-mysql
[02:41] <utta> phreakys: apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 as well?
[02:41] <pax> --purge remove both and then sudo apt-get install php4 php4-mysql
[02:41] <phreakys> yes
[02:41] <phreakys> that one to
[02:41] <phreakys> what does php4-mysql do?
[02:42] <utta> phreakys: a2enable php4 done as well?
[02:42] <phreakys> isnt it another build of php with the right stuff in?
[02:42] <phreakys> a2enable?
[02:42] <pax> functions for communicating with mysql database server
[02:42] <utta> phreakys: yep, enable the module for use by apache2
[02:43] <phreakys> im not sure
[02:43] <utta> phreakys: go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, and you should see 2 entries pertaining to php4
[02:44] <phreakys> yes, php4.conf and php4.load
[02:44] <I_Eat_Plastic> I'm trying to brun a CD using k3b, it needs "cdrdao" to write CDs, where can I install this from?

[02:47] <phreakys> but if php isnt build with mysqlsupport?
[02:48] <utta> phreakys: I have just looked at that link, and it says mysql is enabled. Refresh your browser cache and try again

[03:07] <benjamin1254> LMFAO look at this xp theam
[03:08] <benjamin1254> http://nigritude.sourceforge.net/nigritude-ultramarine/download.shtml
[03:08] <benjamin1254>  theme*
[03:10] <benjamin1254> ;) tell me what u think
[03:10] <pax> yeah it sucks :)
[03:10] <benjamin1254> :))
[03:11] <pax> http://ninux.net/files/ubuntu.png <- this is what mine looks like
[03:11] <benjamin1254> well it has an xp look to it thats what i find nice for the windows lovers
[03:12] <pax> the entire point of running kubuntu is to stay as far I can from windoz
[03:13] <pax> having a theme like that may lead to depression, revive old bad memories or even make me lose hair
[03:14] <benjamin1254> LMFAO i agree with u but like its for thoes are too stuck on winblows to move over to linux.. . it may be even better if somone made a windows xp splash screen for it too to trick the parents
[03:16] <pax> parents? *I* am the parent damn it
[03:16] <benjamin1254> well some of these parents are computer illiterate u know
[03:16] <benjamin1254> and dont know winblows is bad for there pc
[03:17] <phreakys> :)
[03:18] <benjamin1254> do u know how to run the splash screens... i mean replace them
[03:18] <benjamin1254> for kubuntu
[03:18] <phreakys> yea
[03:18] <benjamin1254> how
[03:19] <phreakys> i just installed em
[03:19] <phreakys> with splashy!
[03:19] <benjamin1254> splashy is a program i can get with apt-get?
[03:19] <phreakys> apt-get install splashy
[03:19] <phreakys> yea
[03:19] <phreakys> it works fine
[03:19] <phreakys> you only need to adjust the background
[03:19] <phreakys> or go with the theme :)
[03:20] <phreakys> personally i liked the commandline output. would have been great to have picture + commandline
[03:20] <benjamin1254> Reading package lists... Done
[03:20] <benjamin1254> Building dependency tree... Done
[03:20] <benjamin1254> E: Couldn't find package splashy
[03:20] <phreakys> hm, you have universe on?
[03:20] <benjamin1254> yes the latest 1
[03:21] <phreakys> i guess splashy is part of the obscure list
[03:21] <phreakys> lemme take a peak
[03:21] <phreakys> http://pastebin.com/337903
[03:22] <phreakys> i guess its in the backports or something :)
[03:22] <phreakys> apt-cache search splashy
[03:23] <sproingie> no hits for splashy
[03:23] <benjamin1254> so wich 1 do i do then the install splashy thingie... i see a list of mirrors
[03:24] <benjamin1254> backport mirrors?
[03:24] <phreakys> yea
[03:24] <phreakys> etc/apt/sources.list
[03:24] <sproingie> maybe because backports still hasn't heard of the 64 bit world
[03:24] <phreakys> ehm, im not sure
[03:24] <phreakys> ive got it in my repos though
[03:25] <phreakys> and that one is working quite easily
[03:25] <benjamin1254> what do i do to use it so i can search through with apt-get
[03:26] <phreakys> it should be named as splashy
[03:27] <phreakys> 'splashy - A complete user-space boot splash system'
[03:27] <benjamin1254> oi too darn may files to sift through
[03:27] <phreakys> you need to change your sources.list
[03:27] <phreakys> and apt-get update
[03:27] <phreakys> then it will be in the list
[03:28] <phreakys> just make sure universe/multiverse and the backdoor thing is on
[03:28] <benjamin1254> how do i change my sorces.list file?
[03:28] <phreakys> open a terminal window
[03:28] <benjamin1254> k
[03:29] <phreakys> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:29] <phreakys> check if all of the repos that were in the pastebin are present
[03:30] <phreakys> i believe the standard file misses multiverse and backdoor :/
[03:30] <benjamin1254> yeah now how do i add it to the list?
[03:30] <phreakys> backport
[03:31] <phreakys> http://pastebin.com/337906
[03:31] <phreakys> put these 4 lines in
[03:31] <phreakys> and make sure that all lines starting with deb, are uncommented
[03:32] <phreakys> after that, save
[03:32] <phreakys> ctrl-o
[03:32] <phreakys> then update the list with:
[03:32] <phreakys> apt-get update
[03:32] <phreakys> then you should have it in your list
[03:32] <phreakys> you can check with:
[03:32] <phreakys> apt-cache search splashy
[03:36] <benjamin1254> i tried updating the file and i cant
[03:36] <benjamin1254> i copy and pasted it in
[03:37] <benjamin1254> and it says i cant save it
[03:37] <phreakys> no, you need to do it from nano
[03:37] <benjamin1254> nano?
[03:37] <phreakys> at least use sudo
[03:37] <phreakys> yea, you need to have rootpermissions for that file
[03:37] <phreakys> if you launch sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:37] <phreakys> you get writepermissions
[03:37] <phreakys> just enter your userpassword

[03:46] <jonkan> *thanks pax
[03:47] <pax> why would you do that phreakys?
[03:47] <phreakys> im having problems with mysql write permissions
[03:48] <phreakys> "Notice: Table 'mos_session' is read only "
[03:48] <pax> what are you installing now wordpress drupal something like that?
[03:48] <phreakys> nah, ive got mambo and phpnuke running
[03:48] <phreakys> but it cant write to the database somehow
[03:49] <pax> and you created a database with root?
[03:49] <phreakys> it uses a root user though
[03:49] <phreakys> yes
[03:49] <pax> why don't you create a user for that database?
[03:50] <phreakys> well, thats a possibility. but ive allways been to lazy to create another user besides root
[03:50] <phreakys> not an excuse
[03:50] <pax> bad boy!
[03:50] <phreakys> yea ;)
[03:51] <pax> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databse_name.*
[03:51] <pax> TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
[03:51] <phreakys> hm
[03:51] <pax> then flush privileges;
[03:52] <phreakys> ive got 3 superusers
[03:52] <phreakys> 3k2, localhost and debian-sys-maint
[03:52] <phreakys> they got all rights according to phpmyadmin
[03:53] <phreakys> should i proceed flushing?
[03:53] <pax> up to you =)
[03:53] <phreakys> :)
[03:55] <pax> what's mambo?
[03:56] <phreakys> its the succesor of phpnuke
[03:56] <phreakys> a big chunk of modules cms
[03:56] <phreakys> pretty cool if you like lots of useless modules and stuff
[03:56] <phreakys> i like it
[03:57] <phreakys> and its more secure than phpnuke i guess
[03:57] <phreakys> my phpnukesite has been hacked twice
[03:57] <phreakys> still like phpnuke though...im still amazed at what people think of to program
[04:10] <pax> show me when it's up :c)
[04:12] <JeffAMcGee> hacked twice and you always connect to mysql as root...
[04:12] <phreakys> lol
[04:12] <phreakys> yea, but i believe that was due to phpnuke's sql injection problems
[04:12] <phreakys> ive never had a total security breach
[04:12] <phreakys> so far...
[04:12] <I_Eat_Plastic> How do I get the GNU C++ compiler?

[04:12] <JeffAMcGee> for gcc: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:12] <JeffAMcGee> That includes a few things like make in addition to gcc and g++ that you will undoubtedly need.
[04:12] <I_Eat_Plastic> Hmm, that seemed quick, how can I be sure it installed?
[04:12] <pax> gcc -v
[04:12] <srineer> can some one point me to the apt-get reps for kubuntu?

[04:36] <N17R0> but i don't need smtp
[04:36] <N17R0> and what the hell is "ipp" ?
[04:39] <seth_k> internet print protocol, yes?
[04:40] <N17R0> hmm that could possible be that, but is it needed to run linux ?
[04:41] <N17R0> and ssh I also dont use
[04:41] <N17R0> can those be disabled ?
[04:41] <N17R0> and smtp
[04:43] <thoreauputic> N17R0: nmapping yourself doesn't really tell you anything - those services are only listening on the loopback interface
[04:44] <thoreauputic> smtp and ipp are used for mail and your printer
[04:44] <thoreauputic> respectively
[04:45] <N17R0> ok but isnt smtp a mail "server"  ?

[06:30] <benjamin1254> pax is there a war to restor my system back to defalt w/o the cd?
[06:30] <benjamin1254> way*
[06:31] <pax> you want to test your system for what?
[06:31] <benjamin1254> i want to completely restore my system back to defalt since it is running slower then b4
[06:32] <benjamin1254> but i dont have the kubuntu cd cuz a friend of mine has it
[06:32] <pax> to restore you need backup, but let's go over this, the system is slow?
[06:32] <benjamin1254> yes
[06:32] <benjamin1254> stutters slow
[06:32] <pax> in console type: ksysguard
[06:33] <pax> check what's using your cpu and ram resources
[06:34] <benjamin1254> what is xorg?
[06:34] <pax> I remember you trying to fix superkaramba, those fancy eye candy suckers can drain your system
[06:35] <benjamin1254> yeah but it says xorg is using alot of my system resorces
[06:35] <pax> xserver-xorg is needed, everything GUI is based on it
[06:35] <pax> leave it alone
[06:35] <benjamin1254> k
[06:36] <benjamin1254> yeah xorg is using tones of resorces
[06:36] <benjamin1254> its slowing me down
[06:37] <pax> what else other than xorg is using lots of ram and cpu?
[06:38] <benjamin1254> ksysguard is the other thing but thats like 1%
[06:38] <benjamin1254> wthats for cpu
[06:38] <benjamin1254> whats ram under
[06:38] <benjamin1254> as labled
[06:39] <pax> ksysguard is what you are using to see that stuff
[06:39] <pax> in console type: uptime
[06:39] <pax> and paste here to see your system load
[06:40] <benjamin1254> k

[08:57] <seaLne> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ultra-DMA-8.html
[09:01] <Wizzard> yep, thanks, but I need to set it on every boot
[09:02] <seaLne> Wizzard: change it in /etc/default/hdparm
[09:04] <seaLne> Wizzard: or possibly youmight want to change stuff in /etc/hdparm.conf
[09:05] <Wizzard> oh, yes, it could help, thx much
[09:25] <ilba7r> anyone know where i can get engage for enlightenment DR16
[09:31] <matthew> hey everybody =)
[09:32] <matthew> i've got a silly question.
[09:32] <matthew> anyone awake?
[09:33] <bao> does someone know how to make a folder in /usr/, i cant cause the damn permission
[09:34] <bao> what about doing a account to root or login in to the account "root"
[09:34] <PieD> 1- why do you have to create a folder in /usr ?
[09:34] <PieD> 2- sudo mkdir /usr/nameofyourfolder
[09:34] <bao> theres a program that needs a folder there
[09:34] <bao> tnx!
[09:36] <matthew> i can't figure out how to install a program
[09:36] <PieD> use synaptic or kynaptic
[09:36] <matthew> ok, i've downloaded the latest version of firefox
[09:36] <matthew> but i can't figure out how to open it through kynaptic
[09:37] <PieD> you don't have to download anything manually
[09:37] <PieD> just use kynaptic, select firefox in the list
[09:38] <PieD> clic on apply
[09:38] <PieD> and that's done
[09:39] <matthew> ok, done.  but i can't seem to find it anyplace
[09:39] <PieD> alt+f2 => firefox (for instance)
[09:39] <PieD> It may appear shortly in the menu
[09:40] <matthew> alt+f2 brings up my command prompt
[09:40] <PieD> ?
[09:40] <PieD> sorry I can't help with different shortcuts :/
[09:40] <PieD> try from the menu : execute a command
[09:41] <matthew> i really just want to reinstall windows, but when i try to use my rescue disc, GRUB gives me a partition error.
[09:41] <matthew> error 17.
[09:41] <matthew> the only info i've found on it has to do with dual boot machines, and is above my head
[09:41] <PieD> grub says "error 17" ? surprising, they often give true error messages
[09:42] <matthew> yeah.  any ideas about how to resolve that, or where to find info?
[09:43] <PieD> no because I don't have any windows
[09:43] <matthew> i don't have a problem with formatting the machine and starting from scratch, i just don't know how to go about it now that kubuntu is here
[09:43] <PieD> why did you remove windows when you installed kubuntu if you need windows ?
[09:45] <matthew> well, my computer basically died.  when i revived it, i figured on a lark i would try kubuntu, since i've been meaning to see what it's all about
[09:45] <matthew> but i've found that the learning curve is a little steeper than i'd anticipated, and i don't really have the time or patience to learn it now
[09:45] <PieD> ..
[09:46] <matthew> and i don't seem to be able to restore my system from the system restore disc because of the partitioning...
[09:46] <matthew> the forementioned grub error
[09:46] <PieD> ?
[09:46] <matthew> so, i want to go back to windows, but this error 17 won't let me
[09:46] <PieD> there's something wrong in your sentences
[09:47] <PieD> you says the restore disc won't work
[09:47] <PieD> what's its relation with grub ?
[09:47] <matthew> well, when i try and do a system restore, it boots from the windows restore CD, and goes through the whole process of copying files back to the factory-installed state
[09:48] <matthew> and then restarts.  when it restarts from the hard drive, i get the grub error
[09:48] <PieD> perhaps because the rescue discs damage the partitions ?
[09:49] <matthew> perhaps.  i don't know anything about partitions.  i know windows doesn't use grub at all.
[09:54] <seaLne> the rescue disk probably completly replaces everything on the hard disk, but the bit of grub left is in the MBR
[09:55] <matthew> what can i do to fix it?
[09:56] <seaLne> boot off a dos disk and run fdisk /mbr i think
[09:56] <seaLne> not often you want to put windows on a machine that had been upgraded to linux
[09:57] <matthew> ha, well, if i could figure out how to install anything, it would be different! =)
[09:57] <PieD> seaLne: you understand, that's hard to discover that windows isn't the rule
[09:57] <matthew> but i've been fighting with it for an hour to try and install firefox with flash
[09:57] <matthew> and i miss itunes. =)
[09:58] <seaLne> you tried amarok?
[09:58] <PieD> matthew: because you don't want to learn
[09:58] <seaLne> use kynaptic to install software
[09:58] <matthew> i do want to learn, which is why i have the software in the first place, but this week i have things i actually need to accomplish on my computer, and i need a system i understand in order to get them done
[09:59] <seaLne> fair enough
[10:00] <matthew> i tried installing firefox through kynaptic; it looked like it worked, but it didn't show up in any menu, so i'm not sure how or where to open it
[10:00] <seaLne> try typing mozilla-firefox in the run option in KMenu
[10:01] <seaLne> i'd consider it a bug it not being added to the menus but not everything is...
[10:03] <matthew> hm, maybe some progress here
[10:03] <matthew> i tried committing the changes in kynaptic again and it's doing a bunch of stuff
[10:04] <matthew> i don't see american english as an option for firefox... i guess british english is close enough, but it seems like us should be there as well
[10:04] <PieD> isn't american english the default language ?
[10:06] <matthew> hm, i dunno.  it's not listed in kynaptic, as far as i can see
[10:13] <nikkia> matthew: the way to think of the language packs are that they ADD translations to american english
[10:13] <nikkia> matthew: ie, for american english, don't install any language packs :)
[10:14] <matthew> cool, thanks, nikkia... but how do i find firefox in default american english if i want to run it? =)
[10:14] <nikkia> matthew: you just install and run 'mozilla-firefox'
[10:15] <matthew> i'm sorry, i'm really not a nitwit on some operating systems, i swear... but i'm not sure how to do that on kubuntu!
[10:18] <nikkia> matthew, well, for a start, i wouldn't recommend kynaptic :) but find 'mozilla-firefox' in that list, and install it, thats all there is really, after that, it'll appear in the menus, or you can use alt-F2 and type 'mozilla-firefox' into the window
[10:19] <matthew> nikkia, what would you recommend instead?
[10:19] <nikkia> synaptic or aptitude
[10:19] <PieD> synaptic
[10:20] <matthew> how can i load synaptic?
[10:22] <PieD> from kynaptic, install synaptic :)
[10:22] <PieD> are there a lot of progress in the work on a new package manager for kubuntu 5.10 ?
[10:23] <matthew> hooray!!  i got firefox working!
[10:23] <matthew> thanks very much
[10:29] <matthew> i'm having troule finding java
[10:29] <matthew> it's not working in konqueror or firefox, and i don't see it in kynaptic...
[10:31] <PieD> matthew: java is a proprietary tool, so it cannot be provided with kynaptic
[10:33] <matthew> thanks pieD... presumably i can install it with synaptic?
[10:33] <PieD> no
[10:33] <PieD> synaptic and kynaptic provide the same softwares
[10:33] <matthew> ah.  how can i install it?
[10:33] <PieD> !java
[10:33] <ubotu> [java]  to install Java please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[10:33] <matthew> handy!
[10:35] <Tranquitos> anybody knows how to use the Xine engine in amaroK?
[10:36] <Tranquitos> i've installed it, but it seems amaroK is not recognizing it
[10:36] <matthew> it says i have to login as the root user to run synaptic.  i thought i was logged in as the root user?
[10:37] <PieD> ??
[10:37] <PieD> on my computer, I start synaptic with alt-F2 => kdesu synaptic
[10:37] <PieD> (I don't use the K menu, it's too far from my mouse)
[10:42] <setite> whats a good app for ripping mp3s
[10:42] <PieD> setite: konqueror ?
[10:42] <paines> kaudiocreator
[10:42] <setite> kaudiocreator.. couldnt figure that out...
[10:42] <setite> got some error about creating the file
[10:42] <paines> ?
[10:43] <paines> which file ?
[10:43] <setite> the ripped file
[10:43] <setite> im trying to rip a cd and it errored
[10:43] <setite> ill do it again and tell you what it said
[10:44] <paines> setite, startup kaudiocreator, put in the cd, if the cd is orginal or burned properly, than a cddb looup should give you back to song names, the select the songs and start
[10:45] <setite> yea its ripping right now
[10:45] <setite> and it is an original
[10:45] <setite> ok the error is
[10:45] <paines> setite, did you still get an error message ?
[10:45] <setite> Cannot place file, unable to make directories
[10:46] <paines> setite, could it be that you are trying to place the ripped songs in a place where you don't have eniugh rights?
[10:46] <paines> try setting it in home
[10:46] <setite> dunno
[10:46] <setite> i think it is set in home... lemme check
[10:48] <setite> gah
[10:48] <PieD> konqueror is easier : insert the audio cd, open konqueror, go to audiocd:/
[10:48] <setite> konqueror does too much!
[10:49] <setite> haha... its scary
[10:49] <setite> i think i see what i did... checking to see if it works
[10:49] <PieD> setite: konqueror isn't doing too much
[10:49] <paines> konqueror=swiss army knife
[10:49] <setite> shit now im having a new error
[10:49] <PieD> everything is "optionnal"
[10:49] <setite> selected encoder not found
[10:50] <setite> jesus ok im gonna see what konqueror can do
[10:50] <paines> setite, apt-get ogg vorbis tools
[10:50] <setite> i want mp3
[10:50] <PieD> then install lame
[10:50] <paines> yeah
[10:50] <setite> i have it
[10:50] <setite> and libmad0
[10:50] <setite> and gstream-lame
[10:50] <setite> and i registered them
[10:51] <PieD> but konqueror doesn't know how to extract a CD into mp3 or oggs
[10:51] <PieD> it's only able to handle files in KIO
[10:52] <setite> questiopn... when i select my cd in konqueror
[10:52] <setite> what is all this stuff i see
[10:52] <PieD> and a KIO knows how to manage a filesystem, another KIO knows how to extract tracks from a CD..
[10:52] <PieD> that's virtual files
[10:52] <setite> is it konqueror stuff...
[10:52] <setite> ok good
[10:52] <setite> i was freaking
[10:52] <PieD> that's why I'm worrying when they say they want to simplify it for KDE4
[10:53] <setite> ok that one click thing needs to be removed again... thats next on my list after i figure this out
[10:53] <setite> i just opened and copied everythign in the cd when i was just tryign to right click
[10:54] <PieD> I love the single click !
[10:55] <PieD> why should we switch to double click ?
[11:02] <setite> ok hello
[11:02] <setite> i had to restart
[11:02] <setite> stupid one-click
[11:03] <setite> i disabled so im ready to try again
[11:03] <setite> so to rip with konqueror what do i do
[11:03] <setite> select the cd from storage media right
[11:03] <PieD> what's stupid with one click is that you're not used to it
[11:03] <setite> nah i got used to it... but i selected the files... but upon the right click they all opened
[11:04] <setite> thats the first time it happened
[11:04] <PieD> never had that
[11:04] <setite> and it shall be the last too
[11:04] <PieD> that's not related to single click !
[11:04] <setite> well something got screwy
[11:04] <setite> but yea thats over now
[11:06] <setite> ok what exactly do i do with these virtual folders
[11:06] <setite> i tried to copy and paste the mp3s...
[11:07] <setite> wait now thats working
[11:07] <setite> is it really that easy?
[11:08] <setite> omfg... are you serious
[11:08] <setite> ok i take back what i said abotu konqueror doing too much...
[11:08] <setite> konqueror is quite the fitting name
[11:09] <nikkia> pied, there are serious limitations on doing multiple selections, and drag and drop, with single click enabled
[11:10] <PieD> nikkia: never had a problem because of that
[11:10] <nikkia> pied, then you're 'special' i guess
[11:10] <setite> i can see why he went off about it... it is a blessing and a curse in my opinion
[11:10] <PieD> to select multiple files I never clicked on the icons
[11:10] <PieD> and for drag'n'drop, where is the problem ?
[11:11] <nikkia> pied, the best example of why single click is broken, is to try and use k3b :)
[11:12] <setite> konqueror rocks!
[11:12] <setite> thats all i know
[11:12] <setite> in the end it just ripped an mp3 by copying and pasting a virtual file... encoding in the process
[11:12] <setite> i mean what a concept
[11:12] <PieD> nikkia: I've no problem here
[11:12] <setite> has KDE been out longer than gnome
[11:12] <nikkia> setite, yeah, the audiocd:// ioslave is nice
[11:13] <nikkia> setite: off the top of my head, no, gnome would have been first, just
[11:13] <setite> yea.. dont know what that is but i agree with you :)
[11:13] <setite> is there an advantage to gnome? because im dying to find one
[11:13] <nikkia> setite, if you open audiocd:/ in konqueror, it gives you the contents of a CD as a list of rippable/encodable files, mp3, ogg, flac, etc
[11:13] <setite> from what i hear its more stable.. but thats all i see
[11:13] <nikkia> setite, you just drag the file to your HD and its ripped & encoded, or you open a file in a media player, and it rips, encodes, and plays
[11:14] <setite> nikkia yea thats what im doing... i just didnt know what the ioslave part meant exactly
[11:14] <nikkia> setite, ioslaves are a KDE system that allows plugins to be written to deal with IO in some way
[11:14] <setite> o?so on the latter part... opening in a media player... it rips and encodes that way top
[11:15] <setite> i assumed that it just tricked the program into thinking it was an mp3
[11:15] <setite> well not tricked
[11:15] <nikkia> setite, for example, the ability to access remote filesystems via sftp makes konqueror behave as kbear, since you can open a 2-pane konqueror window, and connect to a ftp or sftp host, and just drag files between the panes
[11:15] <setite> well if i just opened them directly where would they go
[11:15] <nikkia> setite, they're ripped, encoded, and played from /tmp
[11:15] <setite> damn i need a konqueror manual...
[11:16] <setite> so does konqueror have a goal?
[11:16] <setite> or is it just supposed to do everything
[11:16] <setite> the ripping thing is awesome... but it seems odd
[11:16] <nikkia> setite, most of what konqueror does, isn't done by konqueror
[11:17] <nikkia> setite, its just a side effect of how ioslaves and kparts work
[11:17] <setite> well yea i figured that it was an interface for all these things...
[11:17] <nikkia> setite, its not, not really
[11:17] <nikkia> its just these are standard KDE features that konqueror *can* use
[11:17] <setite> bleh.. your nitpicking
[11:17] <nikkia> setite, let me put it another way
[11:18] <nikkia> setite, say i'm listening to an audiocd, and someone on irc says 'i'd like to hear that', i can open the DCC dialog, and because its a kde app, the irc client can access the .mp3 virtual files via the ioslave, and dcc send a mp3 file by ripping/encoding automatically
[11:19] <nikkia> setite, or i could say 'hold on, i'll send you <some file>' but then i remember <some file> is on my machine at work, i can just use sftp within the dcc dialog to access that file
[11:20] <setite> i wonder if the konq browser can do something i cant get done on firefox
[11:20] <nikkia> setite, that'd be ?
[11:24] <setite> i cant listen to xmradio online
[11:24] <setite> wmp9 plugin wont work
[11:24] <setite> i have the w32codecs package
[11:24] <setite> and i downloaded some other random stuff trying to work it too
[11:26] <nikkia> setite, best chance would be the mplayer plugin for firefox
[11:26] <nikkia> but there's a fair chance it won't work
[11:26] <nikkia> setite, does it work within firefox on windows ?
[11:26] <nikkia> or is it IE only ?
[11:34] <setite> nikkia you there?
[11:34] <setite> i got dc'd
[11:34] <nikkia> yes
[11:35] <setite> stupid EVDO card... i dont even know for a while when my connection is nixxed
[11:35] <setite> last thing i heard you say was what was my firefox issue
[11:35] <setite> http://xmradio.com/xstream/
[11:35] <setite> i cant even get to that in konqueror
[11:35] <thoreauputic> nikkia: just out of curiosity - why do we never see you in #ubuntu? You would be a valuablr contributor, it seems to me ...
[11:36] <thoreauputic> *valuable
[11:36] <setite> in firefox i can log into the radio thing... but when i attempt to tune to a station i get a plugin error... and i get sent to windows.com
[11:36] <setite> shhh thoreauputic .. i get him to myself in here
[11:36] <setite> hehe
[11:36] <nikkia> setite, him?
[11:36] <setite> yea i thought i used to see him in ubuntu
[11:36] <thoreauputic> setite: she, methinks
[11:37] <thoreauputic> setite:  /whois nikkia  ;)
[11:37] <setite> forgive me... didnt think your gender was important...
[11:38] <thoreauputic> setite: well, not from an expertise viewpoint at least
[11:38] <setite> precisely my point
[11:38] <setite> well it looks like konqueror falls short of firefox.. which also falls short of what i need it to do
[11:39] <thoreauputic> nikkia: do you have an answer for my question? Feel free to ignore it if you prefer :)
[11:39] <nikkia> thoreauputic: which question ?
[11:39] <thoreauputic> c nikkia: just out of curiosity - why do we never see you in #ubuntu? You would be a valuable contributor,
[11:40] <thoreauputic> etc
[11:40] <nikkia> ah, i started to write a response, then didn't hit enter :P
[11:40] <thoreauputic> ah
[11:40] <nikkia> thoreauputic: i used to hang out there, but i couldn't keep up with both channels at the same time
[11:40] <thoreauputic> nikkia: fair enough
[11:41] <setite> so is there hope to get my windows media player plugin working in FF?
[11:41] <setite> i would assume yes since it works on windoze... but then again maybe not
[11:42] <nikkia> setite, mplayer-plugin is your best bet
[11:43] <setite> firefox can use that?
[11:43] <nikkia> yes
[11:43] <setite> didnt know that.. thanks
[11:44] <setite> nicola? what is that
[11:45] <setite> hmmm i have mplayer plugin it seems
[11:51] <setite> hey nikkia
[11:51] <nikkia> yes?
[11:51] <setite> im having more success with konqueror than ff but still im having a hangup
[11:51] <setite> it doenst load the channel list... but when i type in the cahnnel it loads the track info
[11:51] <setite> so the wmp9 is working
[11:52] <setite> but im hearing nothing... any ideas?
[11:52] <setite> i get that... some apps have sound some dont
[11:52] <nikkia> setite,  you probably need to configure dmix, OR tell mplayer to play via arts
[11:53] <setite> kmix?
[11:53] <nikkia> no, dmix
[11:53] <nikkia> its an alsa feature that lets multiple programs play sound at the same time
[11:53] <nikkia> but try configuring mplayer first
[11:53] <setite> ok...
[11:54] <nikkia> create ~/.mplayer/config (you might need to make the .mplayer directory in your home directory first) and put in it the line 'ao=arts' i think it is
[11:54] <nikkia> actually, just do mplayer -ao help   and see what output methods it lists, first
[11:55] <setite> in terminal>?
[11:55] <nikkia> yes
[11:55] <setite> not working
[11:55] <setite> bash bla command not found
[11:57] <nikkia> hmmm, anyone else with mplayer installed can list the output methods ?
[11:57] <nikkia> i can't remember if its arts, artsd, or artsc :)
[12:03] <nikkia> setite: just try putting 'ao=' for each of those 3 choices then, and after saving the file, try playing back a media file in firefox
[12:05] <nikkia> (you need to restart firefox each time, so i'd suggest putting a mpg in /tmp or something and opening file://tmp/blah.mpg or something)
[12:05] <Yannick_R> Hello
[12:08] <Yannick_R> I'm having some troubles, since I started my computer this morning, in the kde programs (konqueror, kopete, ..) when I type special french fonts it displays 2 squares symbol
[12:08] <Yannick_R> somebody knows where I could find some info to fix this ?
[12:09] <Yannick_R> in no-kde programs it works (firefox)
[12:11] <nikkia> f'ing woo!
[12:11] <nikkia> my new DVD+RW drive does dual layer -R
[12:12] <Yannick_R> looks like the problem comes from .fonts.conf
[12:21] <haplo> hola
[12:29] <nikkia> bbiab, have to install this new drive
[12:43] <verden01> hey
[01:08] <blackfire> Ok magic question: anybody has managed to make a wireless card run under amd64? :P
[01:58] <McScruff> lo
[01:59] <McScruff> installed kde 3.4.2 and now m having trouble setting up samba
[02:01] <BjoernVDM> Samba server, or client?
[02:08] <McScruff> server
[02:10] <Wizzard> hi, does anybody know how to set hdparm.conf? I tried to edit it, but it never sets both optical drives... one of them cannotbe found
[02:12] <BjoernVDM> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-16360.html <-- read this, Wizzard ?
[02:19] <BjoernVDM> What is that, Nikkia?
[02:19] <nikkia> BjoernVDM: dual layer DVD-R discs
[02:19] <nikkia> my new burner supports  them
[02:19] <BjoernVDM> k
[02:19] <nikkia> but they're a little thin on the ground for finding media (most dual layer media is DVD+R)
[02:20] <BjoernVDM> Heh. 40 Euros for ONE.
[02:21] <BjoernVDM> How can that be worth it, I wonder.
[02:21] <nikkia> BjoernVDM: has to be a typo
[02:21] <nikkia> i found a place selling them for 4/each
[02:21] <BjoernVDM> Oh, no, actually 40 for 5.
[02:21] <nikkia> but i'm sure i can get cheaper than that, DL +R is down to 1/each if you shop around
[02:21] <nikkia> that sounds more 'reasonable'
[02:21] <BjoernVDM> Yup.
[02:31] <Chefen> :p
[02:31] <Chefen> :P

[02:58] <bufalo73> after my last apt-get upgrade I've lost all my icons

[02:58] <bufalo73> has anybody this problem?
[03:04] <CellarDoor> hi folks
[03:04] <CellarDoor> I have a question about using Kpackage in Kubuntu
[03:06] <CellarDoor> When I wan't to install something with Kpackage it asks for my root (su) password and won't accept my sudo password. Is there any way around this other than using kynaptic or simply opening a terminal ?
[03:07] <CellarDoor> hello ?
[03:08] <CellarDoor> I kinda like Kpackage and it would be nice to be able to install things with it rather than just looking at stuff and using something else to install things
[03:08] <nxv_> hi, i have the problem to hear my mic on my own speakers, results in a feedback if input to the mic is too loud. the green switch of the mic is disabled in kmix
[03:09] <CellarDoor> nxv_ hi, have you tried enabling the green switch and turning the volume up for it ?
[03:10] <nxv_> CellarDoor: the mic is in the input section. only one bar. at the top the green button at the bottom red button
[03:11] <nxv_> CellarDoor: can't controll them separatly. thought green enables playback, red record
[03:12] <CellarDoor> ah hmm
[03:13] <nxv_> the mic buttons don't seam to have an influence, even if i disable both mic is still active
[03:13] <nxv_> only when disabling red capture button mic is of
[03:13] <CellarDoor> I'm just looking at mine
[03:14] <CellarDoor> It might cause feedback if your mic is too close to speakers
[03:14] <nxv_> i guess i shouldn't get an output of my mic, i want it record only. no playback
[03:15] <CellarDoor> I've never had any issues with it
[03:15] <nxv_> do u hear something if u blow into ur mic?
[03:15] <CellarDoor> mine's turned all the way up with green and red on
[03:15] <CellarDoor> yes
[03:15] <nxv_> and if disable green switch?
[03:16] <CellarDoor> no sound if green is disabled
[03:16] <nxv_> i'd like the same behaviour, but it ignores my kmix mic settings
[03:16] <CellarDoor> hmm
[03:16] <nxv_> kmix->input->mic
[03:17] <CellarDoor> does your mic have its own volume ? Speakers vol turned up ?
[03:17] <nxv_> i can disable any button, change volume no change
[03:17] <CellarDoor> yeah I have sound no problems
[03:18] <nxv_> when i change the capture volume it has an influence
[03:18] <nxv_> if i select mic2 in switches it is entirly disabled
[03:18] <CellarDoor> perhaps something else is turned on that might be disabling it ?
[03:18] <nxv_> i can get it to work
[03:18] <nxv_> but not controll its playback
[03:19] <CellarDoor> what do you mean by playback ?
[03:19] <nxv_> wether it works with feedback or it doesn't do anything
[03:19] <nxv_> playback= hearing the input of my own mic
[03:19] <CellarDoor> you recording and not getting sound ?
[03:20] <nxv_> CellarDoor: i can't do rec only. recording sound without hearing my self on the speaker
[03:20] <CellarDoor> well I can tell you what all my settings are on if you like ?
[03:20] <nxv_> u said u have two controll bars for ur mic
[03:20] <nxv_> right?
[03:21] <CellarDoor> In the Output section all my settings are on and all the way up or almost all the way up
[03:23] <CellarDoor> In Input: Line is currently off, CD green is on all the way up without red on, Mic green and red on with slider all the way up, Phone and AUX are off, Capture is on and almost all the way up.

[03:24] <nxv_> http://img331.imageshack.us/img331/5422/snapshot35qv.png
[03:24] <nikkia> CellarDoor: i fail to understand why you want sound from the speakers of the mic input
[03:24] <nikkia> CellarDoor: its going to feedback whatever you do for two reasons
[03:24] <CellarDoor> nikkia, I'm not the one with the problem
[03:24] <nxv_> http://img331.imageshack.us/img331/3582/snapshot42rw.png
[03:24] <nxv_> http://img331.imageshack.us/img331/2678/snapshot51dl.png
[03:25] <nikkia> a) its obviously an omni-directional mic, b) having the mic on the speakers loud enough to hear over your own voice is going to be loud enough to feedback :)
[03:25] <CellarDoor> though mine is outputting sound and not feeding back
[03:25] <nxv_> that's what it looks like here
[03:25] <nxv_> nikkia: i wan't to turn off my mics playback, but can't get it done
[03:25] <nikkia> nxv, use alsamixer
[03:26] <nikkia> nxv, in playback, set the mic volume to 0, then press TAB to go to recording, and set mic as the capture device, and move the capture fader to about 50-75% (any higher and it'll probably distort)
[03:26] <CellarDoor> ah
[03:27] <CellarDoor> gotta go anyway
[03:27] <CellarDoor> cyas
[03:27] <CellarDoor> oh
[03:27] <CellarDoor> before I go
[03:27] <nikkia> alsa doesn't provide seperate recording/playback controls for the mic, on most cards, kmix just lies and sets the playback level
[03:28] <CellarDoor> nikkia do you know if I can use Kpackage using my sudo password ? It doesn't accept it, asks for su password.
[03:28] <nikkia> you have to remember, that when kmix was written, it was written against OSS, and it did things a little differently
[03:28] <nikkia> CellarDoor: no idea, haven't really used kpackage
[03:28] <CellarDoor> ah ok then
[03:29] <CellarDoor> bye all
[03:30] <nxv_> nikkia: doesn't help, i see it disabled in alsamixer(gui) (tried both)
[03:30] <nxv_> but still hear it
[03:30] <nxv_> if i disable mic boost, i don't here it anymore, but i guess it is just too silent
[03:31] <nikkia> hmmm, looks like 4.85 is about as cheap as i can get DL DVD-R discs :/
[03:41] <phreakys> im trying to copy large amounts of files from cd, but its so...slow
[03:41] <phreakys> is there a way to make it faster?
[03:43] <thoreauputic> phreakys: do you have dma enabled for the CD drive?
[03:56] <Wizzard> it is possible to have some package marked as local or absolete when there is the same package version available in the repository?
[03:59] <nxv_> does kweather work 4 u?
[04:16] <jjesse> morning
[04:26] <nikkia> apokryphos!
[04:26] <apokryphos> nikkia: heyhey
[04:27] <nikkia> apokryphos: you know the other day i was saying there were no DVD-R Dual Layer burners, apart from pioneer's ?
[04:27] <nikkia> apokryphos: my brand new drive has on the box 'Supports Dual-Layer +R and -R at 16x!!' :)
[04:27] <apokryphos> woah
[04:27] <apokryphos> nikkia: and you've had that for long?
[04:27] <nikkia> erm, at 4x, rather
[04:27] <nikkia> apokryphos: came today
[04:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: LiteOn 16x burner
[04:28] <apokryphos> Heh, and you casually missed that on the description? ;-)
[04:28] <nikkia> replaces my 12x LG
[04:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: i honestly didn't look at the description
[04:28] <apokryphos> How much was it?
[04:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: i wanted a LiteOn DVD-R, and it was the only one they sold
[04:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: 25 ? something like that
[04:28] <apokryphos> :-O
[04:28] <sproingie> i'm sure mine is dual layer
[04:28] <sproingie> probably the same brand, LiteOn
[04:29] <nikkia> sproingie: on +R or +R AND -R ?
[04:29] <nikkia> sproingie: -R Dual layer has been somewhat of a mystery until recently
[04:29] <nikkia> pioneer announced support like 18 months ago, and discs were available straight away...
[04:29] <sproingie> nikkia heck if i know.  i never see dual layer media selling for cheap
[04:29] <nikkia> but the drives to support it haven't appeared until the last couple of months
[04:29] <sproingie> i buy mine when it's on sale
[04:29] <apokryphos> That's one thing I both love and hate about computer things -- prices are *guaranteed* to go low
[04:30] <nikkia> apokryphos: i wish -R DL discs would go low :/
[04:30] <nikkia> apokryphos: they're 4.50ish compared to 1ish for +R DL
[04:30] <apokryphos> nikkia: hopefully this Saturday I'll have my new comp! Heh. Results anounced on Thursday, eek
[04:30] <sproingie> dl might never really catch if blu-ray burners come out next year
[04:31] <nikkia> apokryphos: thats what the rest of the order that came this morning was, a PC for my SO (sick of waiting for my boss to get my those two shuttles, so i'll take one as a music workstation when they arrive)
[04:31] <nikkia> apokryphos: 120 for a Sempron 2600, not bad
[04:31] <apokryphos> not bad at all
[04:31] <nikkia> (thats full system minus drives)
[04:31] <apokryphos> heh
[04:31] <nikkia> and a 80GB maxtor was only 30
[04:32] <apokryphos> Re: your boss... you just gotta keep dropping subtle hints :P
[04:32] <nikkia> so i bought a 80GB maxtor, and a new DVD-R for me, the SO's PC gets the old LG DVD-R thats a touch annoying :)
[04:32] <nikkia> apokryphos: i have, problem is, his reason for not ordering them yet is valid :/
[04:32] <apokryphos> 30? Wow, they're really shooting down. Hoping for a 200GB or so... wonder how much they'll cost
[04:32] <nikkia> apokryphos: he needds to order 8 PCs total, 2 for me, and 6 for our products
[04:33] <nikkia> unfortunately, the supplier wants more for the shipping for 8 PCs than the cost of the 8 PCs
[04:33] <nikkia> apokryphos: i've seen 200GB SATA for around 60
[04:33] <nikkia> apokryphos: and i stole the SATA cables from this new PC :P
[04:34] <nikkia> it only has a single PATA drive, so it has no need at all for the 2 SATA cables and 2 molex->SATA power adapters :P
[04:34] <apokryphos> More for the shipping? Is he serious? :|
[04:34] <nikkia> apokryphos: spanish company :/
[04:34] <_dennis> hey folks
[04:34] <nikkia> apokryphos: they sell us a shuttle-X for around 100
[04:34] <nikkia> apokryphos: thats with a Sempron 2800
[04:34] <apokryphos> I've forgotten all the names for the HDs :(. Last time I went computer market though the guy was telling me about new type of hard-drive...or perhaps not so new; but faster.
[04:34] <nikkia> apokryphos: unfortunately, because they're spanish, they charge around 95 for shipping :/
[04:34] <apokryphos> I imagine they'll be more. Really gotta brush up on my terminology here ;-)
[04:35] <seaLne> nikkia: couldn't you fly there and get them for less? :)
[04:35] <nikkia> apokryphos: thats 100 for a Sempron 2800, 1GB ram, 60GB HDD, DVD-R
[04:35] <_dennis> hmm, why does resuming my thinkpad r50p works after i suspended it using /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, but not after i suspended it by closing the lid? (in the latter case the thinkpad is alive, but the display stays black)
[04:35] <nikkia> seaLne: i imagine that is the 'alternative shipping arrangement' he's arranging :P
[04:35] <nikkia> apokryphos: we also buy 23" LCDs from them for 150
[04:36] <apokryphos> nikkia: there's gotta be something illegal there ;-)
[04:36] <apokryphos> 23" -- only something I can dream about
[04:36] <_dennis> and another question: why does the "Network Settings" widget of my control center just says "Loading ..." after i clicked "Administrator Mode"?
[04:36] <nikkia> apokryphos: they have direct business accounts with Samsung and Shuttle
[04:36] <nikkia> apokryphos: i have one sat here, collecting dust :O
[04:36] <apokryphos> _dennis: known bug; you can either (i) upgrade to kde 3.4.2 (should be fixed there); or (ii) kdesu kcontrol
[04:37] <apokryphos> nikkia: I wanted to go for a 19" this time but not sure at all anymore
[04:37] <nikkia> apokryphos: i stuck with 17
[04:37] <_dennis> apokryphos: i did a dist-upgrade yesterday. shouldn't i be running 3.4.2 now?
[04:37] <nikkia> apokryphos: the refresh is generally better, IME
[04:37] <apokryphos> nikkia: a few pals in #kde telling me that there's no point, as resolution is still stuck at 1024 :|
[04:37] <nikkia> apokryphos: this is a 4mS refresh, 17", with portrait/landscape swivel, cost me 140-some
[04:38] <nikkia> apokryphos: yeah, i couldn't find a 19 with > 1280x1024
[04:38] <nikkia> apokryphos: and whats the point in having 'slightly bigger pixels' ?
[04:38] <dennis-> oops
[04:38] <apokryphos> nikkia: I like the monitor we have now. Samsung SyncMaster 17", we got it really quite long ago, though, and for cheap ;-)
[04:38] <dennis-> apokryphos: did you say anything after i left? :)
[04:38] <nikkia> apokryphos: if i could have found a 19 with 1600x1200 and decent refresh, at a reasonable price, i might have gone with 19
[04:38] <nikkia> apokryphos: i won't touch CRT again for monitors
[04:38] <apokryphos> nikkia: can you, though?
[04:38] <nikkia> apokryphos: probably not for TV either
[04:39] <nikkia> apokryphos: no, i couldn't find one
[04:39] <apokryphos> dennis-: you need to get the 3.4.2 repository
[04:39] <apokryphos> !kde342
[04:39] <ubotu> [kde342]  at http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde-342.php
[04:39] <dennis-> apokryphos: ah, thx!
[04:39] <nikkia> apokryphos: there are a few high end 19" LCDs with 1600x1280, but they're slow and expensive
[04:39] <apokryphos> nikkia: that's the reason it's not worth going for... most 20" do it though, no?
[04:39] <apokryphos> But prices shoot up after 19 :(
[04:39] <nikkia> apokryphos: yeah, but again, slow refresh rates
[04:39] <nikkia> apokryphos: you're into 25mS+ with 20", ok for 'work' but lousy for gaming
[04:39] <apokryphos> Slow? 75Hz around
[04:40] <nikkia> apokryphos: thats the interface rate, you need to look at the refresh rate
[04:40] <apokryphos> :-O
[04:40] <apokryphos> what are the disadvantages of a low refresh rate? (I really always thought the Hz was refresh rate... are you sure it isn't? My krandrtray says it is :|)
[04:41] <nikkia> apokryphos: LCD elements take a finite time to switch, so the slower the LCD refresh, the more chance of blurry/traily games
[04:41] <nikkia> apokryphos: you're on CRT, its much more complicated on LCD :)
[04:42] <nikkia> unless that syncmaster is one of the LCD's that samsung called 'syncmaster' (damn them and their product name overloading)
[04:42] <apokryphos> It's flat TFT, but not LCD I don't think, no.
[04:43] <nikkia> apokryphos: basically, if your pixels take 25mS to switch, which is what you're talking about on 20"+ LCDs, then your effective refresh rate is 40 frames per second, display movement any faster than that, and its going to ghost/blur/trail
[04:43] <nikkia> apokryphos: the monitor electronics may be rated for 75Hz VGA, but it still takes 1/40th of a second for the pixels to change colour
[04:43] <apokryphos> Noticeably? :S
[04:44] <apokryphos> I've played games before on a 23" (not LCD/TFT) and it was really sweet there at least
[04:44] <nikkia> apokryphos: if you were playing a game on a 25mS refresh LCD, yes, very noticable
[04:45] <apokryphos> nikkia: do those Spanish people have a site? :P
[04:45] <nikkia> modern LCD/TFTs switch at about 4-12mS, depending on brand, so thats 1/250th to 1/80th of a second for the pixels to switch
[04:45] <nikkia> apokryphos: no, they're not a computer retailer, they're a strategic partner of ours
[04:46] <apokryphos> heh
[04:46] <nikkia> apokryphos: they make video entertainment cabinets using shuttle-X/23" panels
[04:46] <apokryphos> =)
[04:46] <apokryphos> Nice stuff
[04:46] <nikkia> we resell the same cabs in the UK, and thus buy hardware related to those from them
[04:47] <apokryphos> For the ugliest possible picture of my current monitor: http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/product_zoom.jsp?eUser=&largeImage=/images/prod/product03/b2c_l_171s-silver.jpg&prod_id=GH17LSASJ
[04:47] <sproingie> yeah that really shows it off
[04:48] <apokryphos> I don't know how they got it to look so ugly; must have taken some effort
[04:48] <phreakys> im copying 20000 files from a cd, but its taking more than 2 hours allready
[04:48] <phreakys> how can i speed up the reader?
[04:48] <apokryphos> slightly better: http://www.clubic.com/photo/00028895.jpg
[04:48] <nikkia> apokryphos: ah, sorry, mine is 8ms, not 4
[04:49] <nikkia> http://www.acer.co.uk/acereuro/page4.do?dau22.oid=9540&UserCtxParam=0&GroupCtxParam=0&dctx1=17&ctx1=UK&crc=1842436415
[04:49] <apokryphos> ooOOoo
[04:49] <nikkia> apokryphos: still, it was only 140, and it has DVI, and a 'not quite so sucky refresh' which is what i wanted :)
[04:49] <apokryphos> nikkia: do you think I'll see a disadvantage anywhere else but in games?
[04:50] <nikkia> the portrait/landscape pivot was just gravy (its just a case of VESA mounting one on a pivot anyway, even if a LCD doesn't support it directly)
[04:50] <apokryphos> I don't play them, so hasn't yet hit me :P
[04:50] <nikkia> apokryphos: what is the rate on yours ?
[04:50] <nikkia> apokryphos: i tried searching for that model number, but couldn't find one
[04:50] <apokryphos> nikkia: no, on a new one, if I get a 20" or so
[04:50] <nikkia> apokryphos: oh, i dunno, people are annoyed/not-annoyed individually
[04:50] <apokryphos> Monitor details: http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?prod_id=GH17LSASJ
[04:51] <nikkia> when i had an old LCD with 25mS refresh, i found it unbearable on FPS, but bearable on other stuff
[04:51] <apokryphos> I'm sure I'll ask to properly see the monitor in action, anyhow, before getting it
[04:51] <apokryphos> We got that Monitor though when it was still 700 in PCWorld ;-)
[04:51] <apokryphos> 260 I think we got it for, as I recall. Were very proud of it :P
[04:52] <nikkia> apokryphos: that one IS 25mS
[04:52] <apokryphos> cool :)
[04:54] <nikkia> apokryphos: you also have to bear in mind 'how good' your PC is that is driving it :)
[04:54] <apokryphos> nikkia: if it's unbelievably amazing? ;-)
[04:54] <nikkia> if you're playing doom3 and your PC only manages 25fps, you're not going to notice the 25mS (40fps) ghosting :)
[04:55] <apokryphos> I don't really play comp games; I guess I might play a bit on the LAN in Uni (I predict), but in general -- haven't played a game on here for months
[04:55] <nikkia> apokryphos: this is for use at uni ?
[04:55] <apokryphos> What's most shocking was that King's (in their main halls) didn't have ethernet ports in the rooms :|
[04:56] <nikkia> apokryphos: in that case, my advice would be to spend a little less on the monitor and spend some on a decent VESA arm
[04:56] <apokryphos> They tried to reassure me by saying "There's loads of computer rooms around....", erm.. yeah.
[04:56] <apokryphos> nikkia: Uni, yup. VESA arm?
[04:56] <nikkia> that way, when you need to use your desk for non-computer work, you can just move the  monitor out of the way
[04:57] <nikkia> apokryphos: (almost) all monitors have a VESA 100mm/75mm mounting port on the back
[04:57] <apokryphos> ohh, those
[04:57] <nikkia> apokryphos: you can usually remove the base completely, and put it on any VESA 100/75 compatible mounting system, a decent arm will hold the monitor over the desk but allow you to swing it out of the way when you're not using it
[04:57] <apokryphos> They're nice, but not sure how much more it would cost. TFTs don't take up much room at all anyway, so wouldn't consider it a huge issue atm
[04:58] <nikkia> apokryphos: a cheap arm is about 25
[04:58] <nikkia> a decent arm is about 100
[04:58] <apokryphos> oh wait, I see, they're generic. I thought only particular monitors would have them
[04:58] <nikkia> no, thats the point
[04:58] <apokryphos> nice :). Yeah, I'll look out for one of those.
[04:59] <nikkia> you buy whichever VESA mount you want (wall, desk, just a better base stand, whatever)
[04:59] <apokryphos> nikkia: Thanks for the tip :)
[05:00] <nikkia> http://www.wedgwood-group.com/lcd_monitor_desk_stands.htm
[05:00] <apokryphos> pretty affordable on ebay by the looks of things
[05:00] <apokryphos> up to 235! Heh.
[05:00] <nikkia> apokryphos: why doesn't it surprise me that that one is a Sony
[05:01] <nikkia> its like, affordable...affordable...affordable....sony
[05:01] <nikkia> and i bet it falls apart after 3 months :P
[05:01] <apokryphos> hehe
[05:01] <apokryphos> really affordable: http://search.ebay.co.uk/vesa-arm_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8 :P
[05:01] <nikkia> those are mostly wall mounts
[05:02] <apokryphos> bad idea?
[05:02] <nikkia> i can't see the uni being too happy about you drilling holes in the halls wall, no
[05:02] <apokryphos> No problem, I'll use my charm 8)
[05:02] <apokryphos> Bond, James Bond.
[05:03] <nikkia> in fact, when i was at uni, such 'structural damage' was generally terms for expulsion (from the halls, not uni)
[05:03] <apokryphos> Well, I shouldn't be counting my chickens -- possibily that I won't get the grades. :|
[05:03] <apokryphos> eek
[05:03] <nikkia> the one desk mounting arm on that ebay page, i THINK is the one i've seen for 25 if you shop around
[05:03] <nikkia> ebay isn't always cheap :/
[05:04] <nikkia> the place i bought my bass amp modeller from annoyed me with that
[05:04] <nikkia> they have an ebay shop, i was JUST about to order from it, when i thought 'lets check their real mail order shop'
[05:04] <nikkia> 10 cheaper!
[05:04] <apokryphos> hah!
[05:05] <apokryphos> Deskmount doesn't look too bad, the one there. Hardly the best make, but looks like it would do the job
[05:05] <nikkia> my only concern with that, is you can't tell how it mounts to the desk
[05:05] <nikkia> what you want, is a simple G clamp desk mount
[05:06] <apokryphos> Might need ot check out some reviews on it
[05:06] <nikkia> that one MAY still require drilling thru the desk
[05:06] <nikkia> avoid suction cup ones, obviously :)
[05:06] <apokryphos> heh
[05:06] <seaLne> heh
[05:06] <nikkia> last thing you want is to be awoken at night by 'swuuuuuuuuu CRASH'
[05:06] <seaLne> especially if your bed is next to the desk
[05:07] <nikkia> seaLne: it will be, in uni halls
[05:07] <apokryphos> nikkia: they're not going to take nicely to drilling on the table, neither, really, are they? What other options are there other than a weighted one, I guess
[05:07] <nikkia> seaLne: you usually get, at best, a 10x15' room
[05:07] <nikkia> apok, G clamp
[05:07] <nikkia> apokryphos: thats what you want....
[05:07] <apokryphos> nikkia: hoping not to stay in halls, but in "appartments". Advantages: ethernet sockets (can't really go to Uni without one), and en suite
[05:08] <nikkia> the clamp goes over and around the edge of the desk, and tightens with a screw underneath
[05:08] <apokryphos> nikkia: their idea of "appartments", though (funnily enough), is quite a good definition of halls. Around 500 people in one building
[05:08] <nikkia> apokryphos: so, a 10x12' room, with a 10x3' bathroom :P
[05:08] <apokryphos> Ohh, I remember that type of thing from Technology lessons. Indeed, that would work.
[05:09] <apokryphos> nikkia: sure :P. En Suite is worth getting definitely, say my sisters and parents, though how bad could it be to share a shower ;-)
[05:09] <apokryphos> I guess it's easier for boys, but I'd obv. prefer my own. Still.
[05:09] <nikkia> apokryphos: i rented a house for (2.5+0.5)/4 of my years at uni
[05:09] <apokryphos> Second change is intercollegiate halls, which is Catered :O
[05:09] <seaLne> i think i'd prefer the extra room, normally there are cleaners cleaning the showers everyday so as long as your early you'll be fine
[05:10] <nikkia> seaLne: *nod* the bathrooms on our floor at uni in halls were HUGE too
[05:10] <apokryphos> seaLne: the showers I saw in Uni were really mashed... and this was on their Open day :O
[05:10] <nikkia> about 2x the size of a hall room each, and we had 2 bathrooms per floor
[05:10] <apokryphos> hah
[05:10] <apokryphos> nikkia: Mind you, I didn't even visit King's, or the halls/appartments :|. Didn't consider the place an actual option
[05:10] <nikkia> of course, being in a private house was better...
[05:10] <apokryphos> Funny how things turn out
[05:11] <seaLne> i stayed in halls for 2 years with shared toilets/showers and it was fine, weekend before last i was at the ukuug conference and the rooms were similar to what i used to have but with an ensuite inside...
[05:11] <apokryphos> nikkia: was it with many others?
[05:11] <nikkia> except when we got the psycho housemate :/
[05:11] <apokryphos> seaLne: yeah, I'd much rather have the extra money than En Suite, but I can't not have an ethernet socket ;-)
[05:12] <seaLne> just live in the labs it didn't do me any harm :)
[05:12] <apokryphos> I always think sharing a room at Uni is such a gamble, eventually put down that "I'd prefer not to". So much cheaper to, though.
[05:12] <nikkia> apokryphos: first year in rented (2nd year at uni) it was with 2 other girls, then 12 months with a male friend, then 3 months with male friend + male psycho, then moved to private rented flat
[05:12] <seaLne> i even got a job working in the labs :)
[05:12] <nikkia> plus i moved back for 3 months after that, but then the landlord wanted to sell the house, so moved to halls after 3 months
[05:12] <wincide> hi, do someone use opelzaslo ?? i have some problems that can't resolve :S
[05:13] <apokryphos> nikkia: psycho? Sounds like a lot of fun :P
[05:13] <apokryphos> seaLne: nice :)
[05:13] <nikkia> apokryphos: no, not really, he really was a psycho, i mean, medically
[05:13] <apokryphos> :S
[05:13] <apokryphos> nikkia: what were you doing living with him? :|
[05:13] <nikkia> apokryphos: i ended up in a fight with him, and smashed his head in with a 6" steel padlock
[05:13] <nikkia> he still has the scar, i'm told
[05:14] <seaLne> wincide: err what is opelzaslo google dosen't know either
[05:15] <apokryphos> nikkia: so you weren't friends before that ended up living together?
[05:15] <nikkia> apokryphos: his mum would come and sit and watch TV in the house, because she couldn't afford a TV... after a month or two, she came to the conclusion it was her TV, and wouldn't let anyone else watch it
[05:15] <nikkia> apokryphos: his sister would visit him on wednesdays, when they let her out of the asylum
[05:15] <wincide> seaLne: google doesn't know why my i can't see my projects run.. :\ tomcat and java sdk are correctly installed
[05:15] <apokryphos> eeeeek
[05:15] <nmorse> What's the best way to actually configure your wireless card after setting up ndiswrapper?
[05:15] <nikkia> apokryphos: we needed a 3rd person to make up the rent, and he was a friend of a friend
[05:16] <apokryphos> nikkia: isn't a steel padlock a little...er.. extreme still? :S
[05:16] <nikkia> apokryphos: given that he was punching me in the face at the time, no
[05:17] <nikkia> apokryphos: never punch someone in the face while they're trying to unlock the padlock to get into their room
[05:17] <apokryphos> geez, you had it bad :(
[05:17] <nikkia> chances are, once they succeed, they have a lump of about 1lb of steel in their hand :P
[05:17] <apokryphos> sounds like he got what he deserved, then; hitting a lady in the face :Z
[05:17] <nikkia> apokryphos: do you know what this fight was over?
[05:17] <apokryphos> Who should've done the dishes
[05:18] <nikkia> apokryphos: it is so insanely trivial, that you'll find it amazing...
[05:18] <nikkia> apokryphos: no, sillier than that.... we didn't have phone service for the house, noone wanted to pay BT...
[05:18] <apokryphos> nikkia: but that's what happens when there's persistent hostility with people who are really close to eachother
[05:19] <apokryphos> I can understand it, to an extent. I used to be on *really* bad terms with my brother, and for a couple of months we'd fight *everyday*, without fail. Anything at all would make us kick off
[05:19] <nikkia> but, BT being BT, they had only disconnected OUTGOING calls, and you were still supposed to rent a phone from BT at the time, so i brought the one i had at my parents home for my bedroom with me, i said i needed to take it home with me over christmas, and he somehow viewed that as me saying he used the phone too much
[05:19] <nikkia> apokryphos: so, he figured he would physically assault me because i was questioning his phone usage
[05:19] <apokryphos> If people can't reason, any meaningful communication breaks down
[05:20] <seaLne> anyone here use the bittorrent trackers for (k)ubuntu install media? i've had problems since friday
[05:20] <apokryphos> nikkia: sounds like a grade A idiot. Will remember to properly know someone before moving in with them
[05:21] <nikkia> apokryphos: as i said, he was a psycho
[05:21] <nikkia> apokryphos: and he rarely took his meds
[05:21] <bert_db> does anyone know how i can load my wlan at boottime?
[05:21] <nmorse> Are there any KDE programs for configuring wireless cards?
[05:21] <nikkia> apokryphos: for 'fun' he'd go out, get drunk, and start fights with the biggest looking person in the pub
[05:21] <apokryphos> nikkia: how did he manage to be a friend of a friend? :S
[05:21] <seaLne> nmorse: kwifimanager
[05:21] <nikkia> apokryphos: *shrug*
[05:22] <apokryphos> nikkia: doesn't sound like his true colours were confined to the house
[05:22] <nikkia> apokryphos: the common friend was a sane individual
[05:22] <nikkia> although ceased to be a friend after the incident
[05:22] <nmorse> Thanks, seaLne
[05:23] <nikkia> apokryphos: you'll discover that uni is full of strange people like that :/
[05:23] <apokryphos> nikkia: how long were you with him?
[05:23] <apokryphos> at least he wasn't a boyfriend :|
[05:23] <nikkia> apokryphos: sharing the house? 3 months
[05:23] <apokryphos> nikkia: good times apart from that?
[05:23] <bert_db> can someone tell me how to load my wlan at boottime plz?
[05:23] <nikkia> apokryphos: i moved out the next day, and when i returned after christmas break, i rented a flat for 50/mo
[05:23] <regeya> hooray, physical assault
[05:24] <nikkia> apokryphos: rent increase of 400%, but it was worth it
[05:24] <apokryphos> nikkia: your other friend carried on living with him?
[05:24] <nikkia> apokryphos: no, it was obvious from day 1 that he was a bit 'f'ed in the head'
[05:24] <nikkia> apokryphos: over time, it became more and more apparent that he was going to be a problem at some point
[05:25] <nikkia> apokryphos: the padlock on my door was only there because 2 weeks earlier he'd broken into my room and destroyed some of my clothes while drunk
[05:25] <nmorse> Dadgummit, now I need to figure out how to enable the radio on the wireless card
[05:25] <nikkia> apokryphos: the friend bore with him, but hated every minute of it, when the year ended, he asked if i wanted to move back, and told the landlord to NOT renew the other guy's contract
[05:26] <apokryphos> nikkia: psycho indeed
[05:26] <apokryphos> nikkia: seen him often since?
[05:26] <nikkia> apokryphos: no
[05:26] <nikkia> apokryphos: last time i saw him, was while running the other way...
[05:27] <apokryphos> oh
[05:27] <nikkia> apokryphos: it was a few months after he'd left the house, and i'd moved back in, and we had the bailiffs turn up - turns out this guy had defrauded lloyds by 60,000 ...
[05:27] <apokryphos> nikkia: was University good apart from those three months (that's what I meant before, but nevermind :P)
[05:27] <nikkia> so we told them his parent's address where they could find him
[05:27] <apokryphos> 60,000! Yeouch.
[05:27] <nikkia> he didn't look very happy when i saw him next, so i ran away rather rapidly :)
[05:27] <apokryphos> good going :)
[05:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: he had taken a loan for 60,000 to buy a motorbike (a harley), and had run off from where he had been renting, without telling lloyds
[05:28] <nikkia> apokryphos: this had been 5 years or so before he went to uni, but obviously they'd caught up with him :)
[05:29] <apokryphos> nikkia: did he have to do time/
[05:29] <nikkia> and i dunno, uni was a mixture of good times and bad times, i'd have to say the bad times probably outweighed the good, but thats mostly because i was a miserable person at the time and my life 'stank'
[05:29] <nikkia> apokryphos: haven't a clue
[05:30] <apokryphos> :(
[05:30] <nikkia> apokryphos: the day he was walking towards where i was, after telling the bailiffs, and i ran, was the last i saw/heard of him, it was a month or two before the end of the course
[05:30] <apokryphos> I'm still really looking forward to mine 8). Been told the first year involves.... no work.
[05:30] <nikkia> he'd dropped out of uni by then, so he had no real reason to be around the uni
[05:30] <apokryphos> right
[05:31] <nikkia> apokryphos: probably the time i remember most from uni, and oddly this was both good and bad, was walking 5 miles across wasteland to go to a Wishbone Ash concert in the next town over, and not realising that it would involve 'walking 5 miles across wasteland, IN THE DARK' back afterwards :)
[05:31] <nikkia> the concert was impressive, the getting lost in the wastelands, not so impressive
[05:32] <apokryphos> Heh. That great carefree life ;-). I'd probably be really scared of the tiniest sound on the walk back if it was completely dark
[05:32] <nikkia> in the end, a nice taxi driver i stumbled across sat sleeping in a car park on the edge of town, was nice enough to give me a ride home free
[05:32] <apokryphos> huh...huh! what was that?
[05:32] <nikkia> apokryphos: it was worse than completely dark
[05:33] <apokryphos> cool; nice to see a good cabby
[05:33] <nikkia> apokryphos: it was 5 miles of dodgy ground, with distant lights, that bore no real landmark
[05:33] <nikkia> sure, they helped me get to the edge of the town, but i didn't have a clue where i was
[05:33] <apokryphos> by yourself, though? How come?
[05:34] <nikkia> apokryphos: it was during the time i was renting the flat alone, and didn't know anyone else that wanted to see a washed up 70s rock band :P
[05:34] <apokryphos> hehe
[05:35] <nikkia> you wouldn't think there would still be areas like that, just 'wasteland' between two towns in the UK these days, but there is :)
[05:35] <apokryphos> You'da thought they'd merge or something, but hey.
[05:35] <apokryphos> Won't be must wasteland in London, I'm sure. :|
[05:35] <nikkia> apokryphos: there are some spots in north london
[05:36] <nikkia> apokryphos: that brings to mind ANOTHER amusing anecdote from 'uni-related' stuff :)
[05:36] <apokryphos> Sure, and on the outskirts etc. Nothing in Central, I meant 8)
[05:36] <apokryphos> nikkia: fire away :P
[05:36] <nikkia> apokryphos: see, i actually went to TWO unis, i went to hatfield for a year, then changed course, and ended up at teesside
[05:36] <apokryphos> nikkia: I actually wonder if half our conversations are ever really relevant to #kubuntu :P
[05:36] <apokryphos> Yup, I remember you mentioning.
[05:37] <nikkia> but i still kept in touch with some friends from hatfield, and one of them, lived in north london, so whenever i needed to go to london for a concert or something, i'd crash at his parents' house
[05:37] <nikkia> anyway, he's a bit of a psycho too, but a loveable type of psycho....
[05:37] <apokryphos> nice
[05:37] <apokryphos> heh
[05:37] <nikkia> and during one stay, he decided to show me the big collection of the pyro part of fireworks, he'd been collecting
[05:38] <nikkia> anyway, he decided it was time to 'use' this collection, and build a rocket that he attached to the back of a large paper airplane he'd made, he figured it'd make the paper airplane go REALLY fast.....
[05:38] <apokryphos> it would burn it, surely :S
[05:39] <nikkia> we went to a park/wasteland just down the road from him, anyway, suffice to say, he had neglected to realise that structural integrity of paper != good enough to handle having a crapload of thrust applied to it, and it just kind of went around and around in dangerously random circles
[05:39] <apokryphos> heh. One of those gadjet/experimenting people. I have a friend like that, but he always wildly exaggerates the affects
[05:40] <nikkia> apokryphos: yeah
[05:40] <apokryphos> and he's good at English/describing too, so it sounds almost plausible
[05:40] <nikkia> apokryphos: the next day we went to hamleys, and i showed him where the 'proper model rocket' stuff was :P
[05:40] <apokryphos> "I was instantaniously trajected around 3.5 metres and a small mushroom cloud formed"
[05:40] <apokryphos> hehehe
[05:41] <nikkia> unfortunately, as we were walking out with him holding a big model rocket box, he was still looking at the R/C cars and muttering something about 'thrust' :)
[05:42] <apokryphos> haha. No limits to the imagination 8)
[05:43] <apokryphos> nikkia: many interesting personalities in Universites, no doubt. I figure I'l just try to meet as many people as possible in the first few days/weeks
[05:44] <apokryphos> nikkia: do people generally end up becoming best friends with who's nearest?
[05:44] <apokryphos> I've heard that a lot, and it was true for my two sisters. Found that pretty interesting.
[05:44] <nikkia> apokryphos: 'nearest' ?
[05:45] <apokryphos> nikkia: my sister, for example, became best friends with the girl next door to her. My other sister's best friends were all ones in the "house" (split into many appartments) with
[05:45] <nikkia> apokryphos: ah, you mean physically close, i dunno, i think it varies
[05:45] <nikkia> most of the people i've been 'best friends' with, were just people i had stuff in common with
[05:46] <apokryphos> that's what I would've thought
[05:46] <apokryphos> though my second oldest sister, I think people in her house were ones doing the same subjects.. yeah, they were.
[05:48] <apokryphos> still, I have 3 straight days of work to drag me down 8)
[05:48] <apokryphos> though, it doesn't really
[05:48] <CellarDoor> a little good news kde fans
[05:49] <CellarDoor> apparrently folks at ati wan't to work with the kde team on plasma putting em on their beta list
[05:50] <apokryphos> CellarDoor: really? Cool. Link?
[05:51] <CellarDoor> ah I just got in an email from KDE's panel-devel mailing list
[05:52] <apokryphos> CellarDoor: what's the list called?
[05:52] <CellarDoor> ah just a sec, I'll get a link for you
[05:54] <CellarDoor> Here's the page on the KDE site with info on the many and varied mailing lists you can join to get the most up-to-date info :) http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/
[05:54] <apokryphos> CellarDoor: what's the actual list called? I'm on several mailing lists :)
[05:56] <CellarDoor><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:57] <apokryphos> hm, interesting; that doesn't appear there nor on lists.k.o
[05:57] <CellarDoor> sorry, heres a better link
[05:57] <CellarDoor> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/panel-devel
[05:57] <Chameleon22> i am trying to run gnokii as a different user (as apposed to root) and need to add them to the right groups, added user to dialout group since thats what owns (root:dialout) ttyS0, error i get is: -Gnokii serial_open: open: Permission denied-Couldn't open FBUS device: Permission denied-Telephone interface init failed... any ideas?
[05:57] <CellarDoor> hows that ?
[05:57] <apokryphos> ah, I see the thread
[05:58] <CellarDoor> I'm not sure what the implications are
[05:59] <_admin> nick darkavenger
[05:59] <darkavenger> ok
[06:02] <CellarDoor> ah sometimes it nice to prompt one of the devs on freenode just to say, "thanks"
[06:04] <apokryphos> CellarDoor: ?
[06:04] <CellarDoor> In #KDE
[06:04] <CellarDoor> my favorite desktop
[06:05] <apokryphos> Yes, indeed. It's a volunteer effort for most
[06:05] <apokryphos> and it's a huge commitment for whoever does it :)
[06:05] <CellarDoor> I think its nice just to let them know you appreciate their hard work :)
[06:32] <DocTomoe> i set up flash according to http://ubuntuguide.org/ ... but there are no fonts in flash.
[06:32] <DocTomoe> what am I to do?
[06:32] <mike1> greetings
[06:33] <DocTomoe> hi mike1
[06:33] <mike1> I just upgraded to hoary and am trying to install kubuntu
[06:33] <mike1> it's been installing and removing software for 3 hours is it stuck in a loop
[06:34] <mike1> atlon 900mhz 256mb 40 gig
[06:38] <apokryphos> mike1: never heard of that ever happening. Are you sure it's going in a loop? How did you try to install it?
[06:40] <mike1> changed souces.list to hoary
[06:40] <mike1> reloaded sources
[06:40] <apokryphos> mike1: that won't get you kubuntu
[06:41] <apokryphos> mike1: you were on warty? Did the update to hoary go successfully?
[06:41] <mike1> yes
[06:41] <mike1> successful
[06:42] <apokryphos> mike1: and what did you do to try and get kubuntu then?
[06:42] <mike1> using snynaptic loaded kubuntu but ommited kubuntu-live
[06:43] <phreakys> hello
[06:43] <mike1> could that be my problem?
[06:43] <phreakys> how do i copy files with prefix foo_ to prefix bar_ ?
[06:43] <apokryphos> mike1: perhaps. Remove any pending items in synaptic and put sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop  in terminal
[06:44] <mike1> thanks
[06:44] <apokryphos> mike1: actually, wait
[06:45] <apokryphos> mike1: better to get you to get 3.4.2 since you're installing anyway
[06:45] <apokryphos> add deb http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde342 hoary-updates main   ..to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:45] <mike1> the package manager synaptic is dead-locked and I can't find the process number to give it a kill signal
[06:45] <apokryphos> mike1: dead locked?
[06:46] <mike1> stuck somewhere
[06:46] <apokryphos> just make it deselect all the selected packages for installation
[06:46] <apokryphos> and deselect any broken packs
[06:48] <mike1> yes thanks i realy want to try out krita
[06:48] <mike1> it needs 3.4
[06:48] <apokryphos> Cool, you'll be able to.
[06:49] <apokryphos> add the above line to your sources.list
[06:49] <apokryphos> and add:   deb http://kubuntu.org/hoary-koffice141 hoary-updates main
[06:50] <mike1> done thanks got to reset machine
[06:50] <apokryphos> why?
[06:50] <apokryphos> after you add those make sure you sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:50] <mike1> synaptic is looping and I cann't find the process ID to give it a kill signal
[06:50] <rrichie> hi all
[06:51] <apokryphos> mike1: you want to kill synaptic?
[06:51] <apokryphos> mike1: sudo killall synaptic
[06:51] <apokryphos> You might have some dpkg errors, but they'll be solvable...
[06:51] <rrichie> i'm building a program for KDE from source but i have to type ./configure --prefix=/path . What path should i write?
[06:51] <apokryphos> rrichie: /usr
[06:51] <rrichie> ok thx
[06:52] <apokryphos> rrichie: for kde applications it's always ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
[06:52] <mike1> NICE
[06:52] <apokryphos> and kde-config --prefix in ubuntu is /usr
[06:52] <_jan> hi
[06:52] <rrichie> oh ok i didn't know that great thanks for the help
[06:53] <_jan> amarok 1.3 is released can i get packages in hoary soon ?
[06:53] <apokryphos> _jan: not sure if it's being packaged... in fact, I doubt it will be for hoary.
[06:53] <apokryphos> _jan: there's a working .deb flying about on the forums though
[06:54] <_jan> thanks for answer
[06:54] <mike1> apokryphos: off and running "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[06:54] <mike1> thanks again
[06:54] <apokryphos> hm, there's a beta3 one at least... no 1.3 yet
[06:54] <apokryphos> mike1: ok, cool
[06:55] <apokryphos> ubotu: amarok1.3 is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46143
[06:55] <ubotu> okay, apokryphos
[06:57] <_jan> have these packages postgresql support
[07:01] <phreakys> im trying to rename with the rename command but get the message: Bareword "foo" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
[07:01] <phreakys> wtf is that for?
[07:02] <_jan> this is problem in many ubuntu packages  for exampel in arts with no jack support i most many packages recompile
[07:03] <insanekane> phreakys: use mv instead of rename for renaming its just easier
[07:07] <[Surge] > a[t-get and synaptic are giving me problems with regards to install CD as a source.
[07:09] <[Surge] > I get a whole bunch of :
[07:09] <[Surge] > W: Couldn't stat source package list cdrom://Kubuntu 6.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407) hoary/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/Kubuntu%206.04%20%5fHoary%20Hedgehog%5f%20-%20Release%20i386%20(20050407)_dists_hoary_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[07:09] <[Surge] > How do I clean everything up and start from scratch?
[07:09] <c0rrupt_> reformat
[07:09] <[Surge] > :)
[07:09] <[Surge] > Anything but that ...
[07:09] <c0rrupt_> i just reformatted last night
[07:10] <c0rrupt_> because i f*cked up the sources.list
[07:10] <nikkia> _jan: lack of good jack support is one of the reasons i ended up going with LFS
[07:10] <nikkia> _jan, i do wonder, however, whether or not dropping demudi on top of kubuntu would work...
[07:11] <[Surge] > The thing it it's the cache that is messed not the sources.  I just need to figure out how to get it to remake the cache.
[07:12] <c0rrupt_> apt-get clean
[07:12] <c0rrupt_> apt-get update
[07:12] <root> /
[07:12] <c0rrupt_> \
[07:13] <root> :P
[07:13] <nikkia> [Surge] : think yourself lucky
[07:13] <c0rrupt_> o.0
[07:13] <nikkia> my work PC has knoppix on it...
[07:13] <c0rrupt_> [Surge] , reformating was the easieay fix for me, and quickest ;)
[07:14] <nikkia> about 6 months ago, i was FORCED to reinstall, because i discovered that the version of apt i had.... had a 32,767 package limit :P
[07:14] <nikkia> i hit that limit, and apt would simply refuse to do anything more
[07:14] <c0rrupt_> so
[07:14] <c0rrupt_> remove 1
[07:14] <c0rrupt_> upgrade apt
[07:14] <nikkia> (it was probably actually dpkg that was failing)
[07:14] <c0rrupt_> Lol
[07:14] <[Surge] > c0rrupt_: I already have a custom kernel and a whole lot of software compiled from source - reformat is not an option
[07:14] <c0rrupt_> hm
[07:14] <nikkia> c0rrupt_: i couldn't remove anything, add anything, do anything, as i just said, it was probably dpkg that was dying, but either way, it wouldn't let me do ANYTHING to the package database
[07:15] <c0rrupt_> oh..
[07:15] <c0rrupt_> i see..
[07:15] <root> too bad
[07:15] <c0rrupt_> you got debowned
[07:15] <[Surge] > Well I'll try what you suggested and see
[07:15] <nikkia> as soon as i get chance, i'm pulling knoppix off that PC and putting kubuntu on it, tho
[07:15] <c0rrupt_> [Surge] , go into #ubuntu, someone may be able to help there
[07:15] <nikkia> but it means having a couple of days without activing working on something
[07:17] <root> oh~shit!Can anyone tell me how to chage nickname on Konversation
[07:17] <_jan> settings

[07:42] <mcscruff> is there any kde 3.5debs?
[07:44] <apokryphos> mcscruff: considering only alpha has been released, obviously not :)
[07:45] <Tm_T> doh
[07:46] <mcscruff> :(
[07:47] <ahluka> hey all
[07:47] <mcscruff> installing from source is gonna take ages
[07:47] <ahluka> who's got the latest kubuntu [stupid question]  ?
[07:47] <ahluka> i've got a pain in the ass bug with KDE
[07:47] <ahluka> 3.4
[07:47] <apokryphos> mcscruff: then you'll have to wait. I doubt any betas will be released, and personally I'd rather Kubuntu devs spent time doing other things rather than packaging betas
[07:47] <ahluka> well i think it's just konqueror
[07:47] <Tm_T> o/ (NOT!)
[07:48] <apokryphos> ahluka: latest kde is 3.4.2
[07:48] <Tm_T> define latest
[07:48] <ahluka> sorry
[07:48] <ahluka> well, i'll tell you what happens:
[07:48] <ahluka> every other time [or so]  i open konqueror it closes immediately and i get a SIGSEGV dialogue
[07:48] <ahluka> the same happens if i create a new folder in a konqueror window
[07:49] <ahluka> is there any way to roll back a version?
[07:49] <ahluka> ?
[07:50] <mcscruff> poop a scoop
[07:50] <apokryphos> ahluka: what version do you have?
[07:50] <ahluka> konqueror? *checks*
[07:50] <apokryphos> or kde, yes.
[07:50] <ahluka> konqueror 3.4.0
[07:51] <c0rrupt_> upgrade to 3.4.2
[07:51] <apokryphos> !kde342
[07:51] <ubotu> from memory, kde342 is at http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde-342.php
[07:51] <ahluka> apparently it already is the latest, according to apt-get
[07:51] <mcscruff> u need to add new repos
[07:52] <mcscruff> ffs samba is pissing me off
[07:53] <ahluka> ?

[07:53] <ahluka> damn i g2g
[07:54] <mcscruff> whats the best way to restart kde?
[07:54] <mushroom_linux_c> logout?
[07:54] <mushroom_linux_c> and then reboot?
[07:54] <c0rrupt_> reboot -f
[07:54] <apokryphos> No
[07:54] <phreakys> anyone experienced with kubuntu?
[07:54] <phreakys> i mean krusader
[07:54] <mushroom_linux_c> reboot -f?
[07:55] <mcscruff> brb
[07:55] <apokryphos> To restart kde you just need to logout
[07:55] <mcscruff> logging out
[07:57] <McScruff> god damn samba
