[12:16] <elrodro> thanks billiard
[12:18] <see-g> hi there :)
[12:18] <saber__> hi see-g
[12:19] <saber__> !info xfonts-intl-arabic
[12:19] <ubotu> xfonts-intl-arabic: International fonts for X -- Arabic. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.1-6ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 17 kB, installed size 88 kB
[12:19] <snooper> i have a problem - after installing feisty on an extern disc, the istallation doesn't come to a good end
[12:20] <saber__> how?
[12:20] <snooper> now, after rebooting the system i get the messages grub loading, please wait ...
[12:20] <snooper> error 21
[12:20] <snooper> and i cound#t start windows from the internal disk
[12:29] <jack-> question: can i lock a certain package/version for apt? so that apt-get upgrade doesnt touch that one ever?
[12:30] <jriachi> jack-: i guess you can do it via    man apt_preferences
[12:30] <misha> jack-: ya sure, I used to do that kind of thing through synaptic
[12:33] <jack-> jriachi, misha: ok thx
[12:33] <pagan0ne> hey, anyone here have any expirence getting a logitech MX5000 bluetooth keyboard working?
[12:33] <jack-> you know, nvidia removed support for older chips in their new closed driver
[12:33] <jack-> so apt-get upgrade gave me hell
[12:36] <jriachi> (for the log: the  "mail multimedia key", seems to be hardcoded in the kmilo program)
[12:37] <zach_> Locking a package in Synaptic won't keep it from being upgraded via "apt-get upgrade"
[12:37] <zach_> You have to pin the package in /etc/apt/preferences
[12:37] <elrodro> ok guys
[12:38] <elrodro> billiard try to do his best
[12:38] <zach_> jack-: Get that? :-)
[12:38] <elrodro> but it didn't work
[12:38] <elrodro> who wants to have a totally free cartoon if he/or she helps me to install gimpshop
[12:39] <jack-> great
[12:39] <jack-> zach_: thx
[12:39] <zach_> NP
[12:39] <elrodro> and make my kaffeine player works
[12:39] <jack-> !lart nvidia
[12:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lart nvidia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:39] <elrodro> I know this is childplay for must of you
[12:40] <misha> elrodro: you sure you want gimpshop?
[12:40] <jack-> ubotu: you suck.
[12:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you suck. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:40] <jack-> ;)
[12:40] <elrodro> yep
[12:40] <elrodro> Im used to use photoshop
[12:40] <zach_> elrodro: You don't have to bribe people to get help in here. ;-)
[12:40] <jack-> a blootbot without lart...shrug
[12:40] <zach_> It's kind of unbecoming.
[12:40] <misha> elrodro: and you know that it only looks like photoshop if you're in winblows
[12:40] <elrodro> is not brabe
[12:40] <elrodro> is helping each others with our talent
[12:40] <elrodro> :)
[12:41] <misha> otherwise it's just gimp with rearranged menus
[12:41] <elrodro> yep
[12:41] <elrodro> that works for me
[12:41] <misha> fine
[12:41] <misha> 2secs and I'll found how I did it
[12:41] <elrodro> winblows?
[12:42] <misha> elrodro: yes that horrble nonfree OS, are you familiar with alien (the app that is)?
[12:42] <elrodro> winblows= windows but it blow because it doesn't work?
[12:42] <elrodro> lol
[12:42] <elrodro> I get it
[12:43] <zach_> I found a nice little Konqueror service menu for Alien last night. I can look it up real quick if you want, misha
[12:44] <Billiard> elrodro check out the pm
[12:44] <misha> elrodro: http://linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_GIMPShop/
[12:44] <misha> that should do you, sorry no pm
[12:44] <misha> zach_: it's ok thanks
[12:44] <zach_> NP
[12:45] <zach_> Does anyone know how to find the module name for my wireless card? I'm going by an ndiswrapper guide that only explains how to do so using the GNOME settings tool. :-\
[12:46] <RadiantFire> zach_: what do you mean by module name?
[12:46] <RadiantFire> zach_: the module is ndiswrapper
[12:47] <zach_> RadiantFire: What I need to put in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so that the built-in kernel module for my card (which doesn't work) won't load, so that I can use the Windoze driver
[12:47] <RadiantFire> zach_: ahh... what type of card is it
[12:48] <zach_> Atheros AR5005G. I read it worked for some people out of the box, while others had to go the ndiswrapper route.
[12:48] <misha> madwifi isn't it?
[12:48] <pagan0ne> anyone here have any luck getting a bluetooth keyboard running?
[12:49] <zach_> Umm... Haven't tried madwifi. I found a listing for it on the ndiswrapper page that said it will work under it, so I'm trying that first.
[12:49] <misha> elrodro: http://www.plasticbugs.com/blogimg/gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb in case you are still trying
[12:49] <RadiantFire> zach_: try adding ath_pci as the module
[12:49] <RadiantFire> that might work
[12:50] <zach_> RadiantFire: Worst case scenario, it just won't work, but it won't mess anything else up, right?
[12:50] <RadiantFire> zach_: yeah, nothing will braek, you can still modprobe the modules manually anyway
[12:50] <RadiantFire> zach_: wait, hang on
[12:50] <RadiantFire> zach_: you should have to remove a module to get ndiswrapper to bind to the device
[12:50] <RadiantFire> zach_: does lsmod say you have ath_pci loaded?
[12:51] <zach_> Yeah
[12:52] <RadiantFire> zach_: then thats probably it, does it have any dependencies listed
[12:52] <RadiantFire> zach_: I discovered the hardway, that if a blacklisted module is required by an other module, it gets loaded anyway
[12:52] <zach_> Under the "Used by" column?
[12:52] <mzanfardino> ok, anyone have any suggests for a problem I'm having with flash?  Specifically I've installed kubuntu x86_64 and am running firefox with gnash and klash installed, but my flash does not appear to render correctly... usually a blank space where the flash item should be...
[12:54] <nosrednaekim> mzanfardino: I've had good results with nspluginwrapper and the proprietary flash
[12:54] <zach_> ath_pci has "0" under the "Used by" column
[12:54] <RadiantFire> zach_: okie dokie, this is good I think
[12:55] <mzanfardino> nosrednaekim: I'm unfamiliar with nspluginwrapper.
[12:55] <pagan0ne> mzanfardino: nspluginwrapper works pretty well, and i know people here dont like it, but i know automatix has "swiftfox" which is a repacked firefox with flash plugins installed that works on amd64
[12:55] <zach_> There are, however, several other modules that have ath_pci listed in their "Used by" section, wlan being one of them. Could that cause any problems?
[12:56] <mzanfardino> pagan0ne: I tent to steer aware from automatix.
[12:56] <mzanfardino> pagan0ne: is that the only way to get it?
[12:56] <nosrednaekim> zach_: yeah.. you have to rmmod those to
[12:57] <nosrednaekim> mzanfardino: yeah.. go get nspluginwrapper.
[12:57] <pagan0ne> mzanfardino: its the only way i found "swiftfox" you could try to google it, i came accrost it by accident just playing with automatix, although automatix is a hack.... it does basically the same thing nspluginwrapper would do
[12:57] <mzanfardino> nosrednaekim: searching web for it now
[12:57] <zach_> nosrednaekim: Sorry, but I have no idea what that means?
[12:57] <nosrednaekim> pagan0ne: except nspluginwrapper has never broken anyone's upgrade
[12:58] <nosrednaekim> zach_: you have to get rid of those modules as well
[12:58] <Ace2016> hi all
[12:58] <zach_> nosrednaekim: So blacklist all of them too?
[12:58] <pagan0ne> nosrednaekim: i agree with that, hence i said automatix was a hack
[12:59] <pagan0ne> http://getswiftfox.com/  is the swiftfox url
[12:59] <pagan0ne> so i take it noone here has tried to get a bluetooth keyboard working under kubuntu?
[01:00] <zach_> nosrednaekim: Or just remove "ath_pci" from their "Used by" columns?
[01:00] <nosrednaekim> zach_: no.. they are dependencies of ath_pci. so you can just blacklist ath_pci
[01:01] <elrodro> hey thanks for the webpage
[01:01] <zach_> Ok... Thanks
[01:01] <nosrednaekim> zach_: what are you editing?
[01:01] <elrodro> hey guys
[01:01] <elrodro> when some one
[01:01] <zach_>  "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"
[01:01] <elrodro> how do I make the letters go red
[01:02] <elrodro> if I want to call the atention of someone?
[01:02] <mzanfardino> swiftfox is the shit!
[01:02] <nosrednaekim> zach_: ah.. ok
[01:02] <mzanfardino> and I mean that is a good way! :)
[01:02] <zach_> elrodro: A message shows up red to whoever's name it contains
[01:02] <pagan0ne> elrodro: just type the persons name first
[01:02] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: put someones name in the message
[01:02] <Chucky> Hello, I've a problem. I tried installing Kubuntu but the motherboard(P4C800-E-DELUXE) beeps every second and I can see this message on the screen before Kubuntu starts: EDAC MC0: UE page 0x18dd..  I booted with windows to ask you what to do, before installing Kubuntu. The beep must stop, but ECC must stay one. No, my RAM is absolutely okey, no errors.
[01:02] <elrodro> ok
[01:02] <elrodro> misha do you see your name in red?
[01:03] <elrodro> it must be first?
[01:03] <Chucky> I hope somebody can help me
[01:03] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: any idea what EDAC is?
[01:03] <Chucky> yes
[01:03] <elrodro> misha: are you still there?
[01:03] <zach_> Thanks again for the help RadiantFire, nosrednaekim. Good luck, everyone. I'm out
[01:03] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: what is it?
[01:03] <elrodro> mmm
[01:04] <Chucky> Error Detection   and  Correction
[01:04] <Chucky> short ECC function of my motherboard
[01:04] <elrodro> ok
[01:05] <elrodro> so any one can help me with my dvd problem?
[01:05] <Chucky> Kubuntu thinks my   ram has errors. But that's definately wrong. I've tested it
[01:05] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: do you have plug and play OS enabled? or any OS specific settings?
[01:05] <elrodro> this appears on the messae
[01:05] <Chucky> yes pnp os is enabled in bios
[01:05] <elrodro> Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd
[01:05] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: oh it does?
[01:05] <elrodro> The source can't be read.
[01:05] <elrodro> Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)
[01:06] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: I assume you actually have a disc in the drive.
[01:06] <Chucky> yes, Kubuntu starts and I want to install it, but that beep really makes me mad, so I ask you what to do before continueing installation
[01:06] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: can you turn off the beep in the BIOS?
[01:06] <Chucky> no
[01:07] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: turn off POST..
[01:07] <pagan0ne> Chucky: when you burnt the disc, did you verify data after write, or did you just try to reboot and install?
[01:07] <Chucky> I verified it, really
[01:08] <Chucky> even if I could turn off beep, it would not stop the error, just a symptom
[01:08] <pagan0ne> Chucky: ok, ive had that problem before, and it turned out i had a dvd burner going bad, because it always fauled verification
[01:08] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: P4 you say? are you sure its not overheating?
[01:08] <elrodro> so I stay the same
[01:09] <Chucky> CPU: 50C Motherboard: 30C that's ok
[01:09] <misha> elrodro: sorry I'm here, what is it?>
[01:09] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: what program are you using for DVD?
[01:09] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: but thats not in Linux. does it start beeping IMMEDIATELY on boot.. or only after awhile?
[01:10] <pagan0ne> anyone here have any luck getting a bluetooth keyboard running?
[01:10] <nosrednaekim> !bluetooth
[01:10] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[01:10] <Chucky> after a while.. I mean it is  really  linux.. Linux keeps sending those EDAC Error messages
[01:11] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: could be temps...
[01:11] <pagan0ne> ubotu: its not setting up bluetooth thats the problem, its getting the keyboard to pair
[01:11] <Chucky> I had windows up and running for over 12hours now
[01:11] <nosrednaekim> !bot
[01:11] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:11] <Chucky> I've enough of it ;)
[01:11] <Chucky> hehe
[01:11] <misha> elrodro: I can't reply to your private messages cos I'm not registered on freenode
[01:12] <pagan0ne> nosrednaekim: lol i missed that, anyway its getting the keyboard to pair to the computer i cant manage to do, i can get other devices to pair
[01:12] <adaptr> Chucky EDAC errors being.. what ?
[01:12] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: yeah. But Llinux might have frequency scaling problems with p4's... i've seen it b4 on my brother's computer
[01:12] <Chucky> EDAC Errors means that it thinks that my ram is bad. OK, I'll install an other cooler. But if it is not the temps?
[01:13] <Chucky> And I'm sure it is not the temps.. CPU is 45-50 never over it..
[01:13] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: you can check the temps in LInux.
[01:13] <Chucky> But I have not linux :(
[01:13] <nosrednaekim> although its not exactly easy
[01:14] <Chucky> I wanted to install it, but the beep made me sick. So I'm just trying to find some help to "remove" the beeps
[01:14] <elrodro> any expert
[01:14] <elrodro> on dvd problems
[01:14] <Minataku> EDAC - Error Detection And Correction
[01:14] <elrodro> with kubuntu?
[01:15] <Minataku> Chucky: As for removing the beeps, look inside the case for a speaker, trace the wires to the mainboard and pull out the connector
[01:15] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: what program are you using?
[01:15] <Minataku> That's temporary
[01:15] <elrodro> kaffeine
[01:15] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: some motherboards have inbuilt speakers for the bios
[01:15] <Chucky> yes But I don`t want to remove the beeps just the reason for the beeps, you know
[01:15] <Minataku> The proper solution is to fix the RAM or whatever hardware is causing the errors
[01:16] <Minataku> Run a program called Memtest86
[01:16] <elrodro> and kmp player
[01:16] <Chucky> The Hardware is 100% OK
[01:16] <Chucky> I`ve tested over 3days with memtest with and without ECC
[01:17] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: hmmm... go over to #linux.
[01:17] <Minataku> Chucky: If there are EDAC errors, the hardware is NOT okay
[01:17] <Minataku> Period.
[01:17] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: Right, right, SMT piezo buzzers
[01:18] <Minataku> Which are decidedly harder to temporarily disable
[01:18] <Chucky> I've read about some other people having the same motherboard, it seems linux IS having problems with it's ECC
[01:18] <Minataku> Which would indicate a poorly designed or built mainboard
[01:18] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: annoying little things/... but nothing a soldering iron can't fix.
[01:18] <nosrednaekim> ;)
[01:18] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: Indeed, indeed
[01:19] <Minataku> As long as it's through-hole
[01:19] <Minataku> If it's actually SMT then you're boned
[01:19] <Minataku> Since you'd need a reflow station
[01:19] <Minataku> Chucky: Build your own kernel, disable EDAC when configuring
[01:19] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: go over to #linux and complain to those gurus.
[01:19] <Minataku> Problem solved
[01:20] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: ehh..... you can just BURN it off... :)
[01:20] <Minataku> That's the only solution I can offer until EDAC is modified to work for this board either by fix or by blacklist
[01:21] <Minataku> I've had a similar kind of kernel issue, though mine had an external workaround (I disabled the feature in the kernel anyway)
[01:21] <pagan0ne> Minataku: but that creates a chicken and egg syndrom, how can he boot linux to compile a kernel w/o EDAC support, to beable to boot linux?
[01:21] <Minataku> pagan0ne: Compile a kernel on another system
[01:21] <Minataku> One that doesn't have these dumbass EDAC issues
[01:22] <Minataku> I just returned from dinner
[01:22] <nosrednaekim> pagan0ne: you can disable EDAC... its not system-stopping
[01:22] <Minataku> I missed that he was unable to boot Linux
[01:22] <Minataku> Have you tried the alternate install CD?
[01:22] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: no.. he can boot and potential install from what i've heard
[01:22] <Minataku> Ah
[01:22] <Minataku> Like I said, I missed all that
[01:22] <Minataku> But yeah, you'll need to compile a custom kernel without EDAC support either way
[01:23] <pagan0ne> Minataku: that would work for some of us geeks, assuming we had 2 boxen, and could then manage to roll the compiled kernel back into the distro
[01:23] <Minataku> Heh
[01:23] <nosrednaekim> yeah.. NP...just clearing things up
[01:23] <Chucky> I'm able to boot Linux But I don't want to live with beeps!
[01:23] <Minataku> Chucky: That's why you have to compile a kernel without EDAC
[01:24] <pagan0ne> Chucky: oo, then compile w/o EDAC support... lol
[01:24] <pagan0ne> what they said
[01:24] <Chucky> is there not switch? /noedac? I'm a windows user sorry..
[01:24] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: and thats why you just disable EDAC since its obviously not a problem with your hardware
[01:24] <Minataku> I'll look
[01:24] <Minataku> See if there's a boot option perhaps
[01:25] <nosrednaekim> there's a boot option for anything else. ;)
[01:25] <pagan0ne> my boots have a strap or velcro option.....
[01:25] <Minataku> There might not be a boot option but there seems to be a sysfs option
[01:25] <Chucky> I don't know linux very good, I absolutely don't know howto compile a kernel, that's just too complex for me
[01:25] <nosrednaekim> there is only ONE satisfying way to boot a computer
[01:26] <Minataku> Chucky: The sysfs way would be a hacky fix, you'd have to do it every boot
[01:26] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: Don't even insinuate
[01:26] <pagan0ne> with a shotgun?
[01:26] <Minataku> I'll have your systems confiscated for abuse
[01:26] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: heh.... yeah. well that is sort of a "sink or swim" thing
[01:26] <Chucky> hope I can get it installed,   before windows is the last option
[01:26] <elrodro> nosrednaekim
[01:26] <elrodro> I can't chat with you
[01:26] <elrodro> in the private sesion
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: hehe....actually it doesn't ork too well on my laptop
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: yeah?
[01:27] <Minataku> Crap, I don't have EDAC in my kernel
[01:27] <elrodro> yep
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: thats odd..
[01:27] <elrodro> yep
[01:27] <elrodro> haha
[01:27] <elrodro> well it didn't wokr
[01:27] <elrodro> work
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: I might... whats the command?
[01:27] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: The unregistered user restriction is on by default
[01:27] <Minataku> Not off
[01:27] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: Check /sys/devices/system/ for edac/
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: I'm registered
[01:27] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: will do
[01:27] <elrodro> I believe
[01:27] <elrodro> Im too
[01:27] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: elrodro probably isn't
[01:27] <elrodro> well
[01:28] <elrodro> well any way
[01:28] <Minataku> Oh, f*ck these dumbass services
[01:28] <elrodro> i try to fix that for mor than 2 hour
[01:28] <elrodro> s
[01:28] <Minataku> "Unknown command [status] "
[01:28] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: yeah.. I don't have it either
[01:28] <Minataku> What the hell kind of leaky-ass ship is this
[01:28] <elrodro> hahaha
[01:28] <Chucky> The LINUX GOD TOLD ME THIS: "Chucky: You're not alone! http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/28/126"
[01:28] <elrodro> I thin linux
[01:29] <elrodro> it's too technical for me
[01:29] <Minataku> elrodro: You're NOT registered, or not identified
[01:29] <elrodro> and how I do that?
[01:29] <Minataku> I fell back on checking via /whois
[01:29] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: are you sure your dvd drive is working?
[01:29] <Chucky> But that's the exact same message I've read before..I asked you for help
[01:29] <Minataku> elrodro: /msg nickserv help register
[01:29] <elrodro> is not working
[01:29] <Minataku> nosrednaekim: EDAC is fairly new
[01:30] <elrodro> well
[01:30] <Minataku> I think if a system doesn't have it, it's never enabled
[01:30] <elrodro> I go to eat something
[01:30] <Chucky> not on windows..
[01:30] <elrodro> I tried I really tried
[01:30] <Chucky> and redhat
[01:30] <elrodro> see you later guys
[01:30] <Minataku> Later
[01:30] <Chucky> as I know....
[01:30] <nosrednaekim> Minataku: Chucky: there you go... blacklist EDAC
[01:30] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: after installing
[01:30] <Minataku> Ah, yes, Kubuntu has a blacklisting feature
[01:30] <Chucky> what's that`? howto?
[01:31] <Chucky> never had installed kubuntu, sorry
[01:31] <Minataku> You'll just have to put up with the beeping during installation
[01:31] <Chucky> I'm a totally  new fish in tis aquarium..
[01:31] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: no... that page didn;t say that. but it says thats an option.
[01:31] <nosrednaekim> or at least alludes to it
[01:31] <Minataku> Grab a Sansa or some other non-Apple MP3 player and listen to some tunes while you install
[01:32] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: yeah.. just install it.. and then we can get rid of the sounds the very next boot.
[01:32] <Minataku> I say non-Apple because Microsoft Jr. doesn't need more money
[01:32] <Chucky> I've a Meizu it  better than any other mp3 player ;)
[01:33] <Ace2016> hi all
[01:33] <Chucky> this is the only wisdom I can give you, 10 of 10 point for  meizu.com tthat 8GB thingy is wow
[01:33] <ejortegau> hey.
[01:33] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: actually you can rmmod the EDAC module while installing
[01:33] <Chucky> rmmod?
[01:33] <nosrednaekim> hi Ace2016
[01:33] <Minataku> ReMove MODule
[01:33] <Ace2016> hi
[01:33] <Chucky> remove?
[01:33] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: yeah... it remeove the module making the beeps and error messages
[01:33] <pagan0ne> Chucky: rmmod meand remove the edac module while its running
[01:34] <RadiantFire> you can also use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to prevent the module from ever being loaded
[01:34] <Ace2016> anyone know how to get rdesktop to output sound to alsa? it says  /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
[01:34] <Minataku> Figure out what's blocking /dev/dsp
[01:34] <ejortegau> say i want to move contents of /usr from the partition mounted under / to a separate partition.  I really need some ear-protector which protects my ears from linux sound, lol
[01:39] <ejortegau> guys?
[01:39] <zach_> RadiantFire and nosrednaekim - Thanks a LOT!! I finally got wi-fi working. :-D
[01:39] <Ace2016> RadiantFire: well i'm running windows xp in virtualbox and using rdesktop to get just windows apps to appear on my linux desktop, but i realised i can use rdesktop -rsound:remote to do it since remote is still this computer since its a virtual machine
[01:39] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: you can rmmod!
[01:39] <nosrednaekim> zach_: cool!
[01:39] <nosrednaekim> Ace2016: amarok is far better... not to start any flame wars or anything
[01:39] <RadiantFire> mmm... exciting
[01:39] <DexterF> can somebody confirm: upper left corner as trigger for beryl's "scale" doesn't work
[01:40] <RadiantFire> zach_: that is good :-)
[01:40] <RadiantFire> yeah, amarok does r0x0riz3
[01:40] <zach_> One tiny little thing though. KNetworkManager isn't listing the wireless device. It's right there in KControl and it's working properly. Any ideas?
[01:40] <nosrednaekim> DexterF: I think its upper right?
[01:40] <DexterF> I changed it, annoyed me there
[01:40] <RadiantFire> zach_: what does your /etc/network/interfaces file say?
[01:40] <nosrednaekim> zach_: Knetworkmanager is crap.
[01:40] <zach_> Ace2016: Have you tried Amarok?
[01:40] <Chucky> Dude I've never heard of ubuntu before. I got told it's   THE supreme OS, and I've seen it and believe that. So rmmod doesn't tell me anything
[01:40] <DexterF> it only works when no window is full size
[01:40] <RadiantFire> nosrednaekim: don't say that, its not
[01:40] <RadiantFire> its dead useful on laptops
[01:40] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: not on mine...
[01:40] <Ace2016> nosrednaekim: yea its better with the media library and stuff but winamp has this dsp plugin which i always use when i run linux so since i have seamless rdesktop i see no reason not to run winamp
[01:41] <DexterF> Chucky: removes kernel modules. think "driver"
[01:41] <RadiantFire> nosrednaekim: ever heard the story of the wolf and the grapes
[01:41] <RadiantFire> nosrednaekim: I love it
[01:41] <zach_> RadiantFire: What part of it should I be looking at?
[01:41] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: actually I think the grapes are good..
[01:41] <Ace2016> but when i'm not running winamp i use juk instead of amarok
[01:41] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: so no.. i'm not ze wolf
[01:41] <RadiantFire> zach_: does it have anything that isn't auto?
[01:42] <RadiantFire> zach_: generally, the only thing that should be in that file is auto lo \ iface lo inet loopback
[01:42] <RadiantFire> other entries can interfere with network manager
[01:42] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: also... if you have atheros... make sure you have both a wlan0 and an ath0
[01:42] <Chucky> okey I reboot now. Do I need to know something before, because of to the edac isse?
[01:42] <nosrednaekim> sorry.. zach_
[01:42] <RadiantFire> nosrednaekim: I don't have atheros
[01:42] <nosrednaekim> Chucky: nope
[01:42] <Chucky> k cu
[01:42] <zach_> RadiantFire: "iface ath0 inet dhcp" but "auto ath0" is right under that.
[01:42] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: yeah... wrong nick.. sorry
[01:43] <RadiantFire> zach_: you might try commenting that out, comments are '#' at the beginning of the line
[01:43] <RadiantFire> zach_: after that, you may have to restart either network-manager or your computer
[01:44] <RadiantFire> sometimes /etc/init.d/networking restart is sufficient
[01:44] <zach_> RadiantFire: Would you mind taking a look at the file if I pastebin it? Sorry, I'm just afraid I'm gonna mess something up after all that work.
[01:44] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: in order for devices to work with netweorkmanager they can't be in /etc/netwrok/interfaces?
[01:44] <RadiantFire> nosrednaekim: it used to be that way
[01:44] <RadiantFire> Idon't know if it still is, but its something to check
[01:45] <RadiantFire> I know they cannotb e static configs, but sometimes dynamic configs mess it up too
[01:45] <RadiantFire> zach_: sure
[01:45] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: interesting... maybe thats why it wasn't working for me.
[01:45] <nosrednaekim> RadiantFire: something to try at least.
[01:45] <RadiantFire> that fixed it for me back when networkmanager first hit the repos
[01:45] <RadiantFire> I think in breezy or dapper
[01:45] <RadiantFire> can't remember which
[01:45] <zach_> RadiantFire: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24651/ Thanks
[01:45] <pagan0ne> i cant beleave im going to install vista to get my keyboard to work....
[01:46] <nosrednaekim> pagan0ne: yeah well... did you do some googleing?
[01:46] <RadiantFire> zach_: out of curiousity, why do you have manual configs for your loopback iface?
[01:46] <RadiantFire> then again, it doesn't really matter
[01:46] <pagan0ne> nosrednaekim: yes and my keyboard is supposed to be suppoeted, but it doesnt work, so i googled for help, and all the help i got doesnt work for me
[01:47] <RadiantFire> zach_: commenting out everything under netmask 255.... won't hurt anything, and you can always put it back later. I have a hunch that might help though
[01:47] <pagan0ne> nosrednaekim: theres even custom utilities made for my keyboard under linux, but they assume the keyboard is already functioning
[01:47] <zach_> RadiantFire: Not sure. I haven't touched that file manually. Just followed this tutorial - http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide/
[01:48] <RadiantFire> zach_: well, that might help, I'm gonna eat dinner, brb in 15
[01:48] <nosrednaekim> pagan0ne: oh.. ok... well try #linux... they may be a little more knoledgeable over there
[01:48] <dad> Hello. desktop effects= compiz?
[01:48] <nosrednaekim> dad: are you in ubuntu or kubunut?
[01:48] <zach_> RadiantFire: Thanks, I'll try that. Peace
[01:49] <pagan0ne> nosrednaekim: thanks
[01:49] <dad> nosrednaekim: The one with Gnome.
[01:49] <nosrednaekim> dad: go over to #ubuntu for that
[01:49] <dad> thanks
[01:50] <Bearcat> hey all
[01:50] <nosrednaekim> hi.
[01:52] <Bearcat> i'm going  a bit nuts here. I'm trying to upgrade a kubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 (and then to 7.04) using the CD (internet is not an option).   First off i didn't have gksu installed which the script seemed to need. So i installed that and am told Failed to open device
[01:52] <Bearcat> can't find DistUpgradeViewGtk.   I really don't want to install gnome just to do an update.
[01:53] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: do you have the alternate installer?
[01:53] <nosrednaekim> Cd.
[01:53] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: yup
[01:54] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: are you upgrading off of that?
[01:54] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: yes
[01:54] <nosrednaekim> i mean... booting it?
[01:54] <Bearcat> i am entering gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"
[01:55] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: nossddff
[01:55] <nosrednaekim> eh?what?
[01:55] <Bearcat> no, i've mounted it in /media/cdrom and am trying to run the cdromupgrade script
[01:56] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: you can't do that I don't think..
[01:56] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: look over the page i just linked
[01:56] <nosrednaekim> I am.. my internet is REALLY slow though.
[01:56] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: my friends internet is slow too, hence why i am doing it over the cdrom :)
[01:57] <nosrednaekim> lol
[01:57] <Minataku> CR28305 to Driver Lv38
[01:58] <Sanne> Bearcat: those instructions seem to be a bit Ubuntu specific and might not be applicable exactly to Kubuntu.
[01:58] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: wait.. do you have the kubunt installer or ubuntu?
[01:58] <Minataku> If they involve GNOME or the Ubuntu install system, they're useless for Kubuntu
[01:58] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim: i downloaded the kubuno alternate disk.
[01:58] <Bearcat> yeah i know, but kubuntu specific instructions are not to be found
[01:58] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: then I don't think it has this option.
[01:58] <elrodro> hi
[01:59] <Minataku> Hm
[01:59] <elrodro> look
[01:59] <nosrednaekim> Bearcat: do it by mooting off the cd.
[01:59] <elrodro> I saw
[01:59] <nosrednaekim> *booting
[01:59] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: yeah?
[01:59] <Minataku> My troll sensors are going off
[01:59] <elrodro> something that may help me to use the dvd
[01:59] <Bearcat> nosrednaekim alright, i will
[01:59] <zach_> Hey nosrednaekim - That suggestion from RadiantFire on getting KNetworkManager to work by editing /etc/network/interfaces worked for me, in case you wanted to try it.
[01:59] <Minataku> Not from anyone talking
[01:59] <zach_> nosrednaekim: Had to reboot for it to take effect though.
[01:59] <nosrednaekim> zach_: yeah I definately will.. thank you.
[01:59] <zach_> Np
[02:00] <nosrednaekim> actually already did..just awaiting a reboot
[02:00] <Bearcat> thanks folks, I'll give that a shot
[02:00] <Sanne> Bearcat: wait, I'm looking for instructions for you I remember to have seen
[02:00] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: what?
[02:00] <Bearcat> Sanne: thank you
[02:01] <elrodro> ok
[02:01] <elrodro> http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
[02:01] <elrodro> maybe I don't have installed that plug ins
[02:01] <elrodro> how do I install them?
[02:01] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: just a second
[02:01] <elrodro> thanks
[02:02] <Nuked> nosrednaekim: no one loves IRC
[02:03] <nosrednaekim> no?
[02:03] <elrodro> i was blocked due to spam problems
[02:03] <Nuked> nosrednaekim: I was being sarcastic
[02:03] <elrodro> for private messages
[02:03] <elrodro> If I change my nickname will I be able again to private
[02:03] <elrodro> message
[02:03] <elrodro> s?
[02:04] <elrodro> how do I change mi nickname?
[02:04] <Nuked> "/nick enterthenickyouwant
[02:04] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: there aren't any plugins on that page.
[02:04] <elrodro> Im gonna vry
[02:04] <elrodro> now
[02:04] <elrodro> cry
[02:04] <elrodro> that says in the kaffeine web page
[02:04] <elrodro> you may need some plug ins
[02:05] <elrodro> that are in that mplayer
[02:05] <elrodro> project
[02:05] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: to play dvds? yeah.. you need libdvdcss.
[02:05] <Nuked> ooooh elrodro you mean w32codecs?
[02:05] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: do you have that?
[02:05] <elrodro> don't have any damn clue man
[02:05] <elrodro> I just change linux because
[02:05] <elrodro> a friend told me it was better than windows
[02:06] <Nuked> well don't despair
[02:06] <nosrednaekim> elrodro: get your friend over to help you ;)
[02:06] <elrodro> hahaha
[02:06] <nosrednaekim> !dvd
[02:06] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:06] <Sanne> Bearcat: ok, you can do it manually. I have found a page that explains some steps, but not all will be useful for you, since you don't want to upgrade over the web. shall we do this together? First, go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual
[02:06] <elrodro> he just chicken out
[02:06] <Nuked> nosrednaekim: thats not what he is looking for
[02:06] <RadiantFire> !info libxine-ffmpeg
[02:06] <Nuked> !w32codecs
[02:06] <ubotu> Package libxine-ffmpeg does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:06] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[02:06] <zach_> There are too many Linux evangelists who tell people why they should switch without explaining that it won't be a quick and easy transition.
[02:07] <nosrednaekim> zach_: or who aren't willing to help
[02:07] <RadiantFire> !info libxine1-ffmpeg
[02:07] <elrodro> yeah
[02:07] <elrodro> thasts for sure
[02:07] <zach_> That too
[02:07] <ubotu> libxine1-ffmpeg: the xine video/media player library, binary files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.4-2ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 1534 kB, installed size 3692 kB
[02:07] <RadiantFire> elrodro: try installing that package
[02:07] <RadiantFire> zach_: did your stuff work out?
[02:07] <elrodro> how do I instal il
[02:07] <elrodro> it
[02:07] <zach_> RadiantFire: Beautifully. Thanks.
[02:07] <RadiantFire> elrodro: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
[02:07] <elrodro> Im using kubunt
[02:07] <Sanne> Bearcat: still here?
[02:08] <RadiantFire> elrodro: graphical way or terminal way, there fastest way is to simply open kmenu->system->konsole and type sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
[02:08] <RadiantFire> elrodro: the graphical way would be to search for it using Adept Manager
[02:08] <RadiantFire> which is also in system
[02:08] <elrodro> thanks radianfire
[02:08] <elrodro> Im downloading it
[02:08] <RadiantFire> cool beans
[02:08] <elrodro> from the konsole
[02:09] <elrodro> now I will try to change my nickname due
[02:09] <elrodro> this thing say I spam
[02:09] <elrodro> how I do that again?
[02:09] <zach_> Is it just me, or are the package management programs for KDE not nearly as good as the GNOME ones?
[02:10] <elrodro> how do I change my nickname?
[02:10] <thefirstdude>  /nick newname
[02:10] <Bearcat> Sanne: i'm back
[02:10] <RadiantFire> zach_: the package management programs for gnome were started way before those for kde, its different with some other distros
[02:11] <Sanne> Bearcat: did you see my last message with the instructions page?
[02:11] <zach_> Oh i see
[02:11] <RadiantFire> zach_: for instance, I believe that the kde frontend to gentoo's emerge is vastly superior to the gnome one
[02:11] <RadiantFire> although its been a while since I've looked
[02:11] <Billiard> hey guys my pcm volume in mixer will jump down on its own once in awile
[02:12] <Bearcat> Sanne: ok. i'm there. Thanks for the help so far.
[02:12] <elrodro1> ok
[02:12] <zach_> Oh ok
[02:12] <Sanne> Bearcat: cool.  Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[02:12] <Bearcat> Sanne: may i scratch an itch? :P
[02:13] <elrodro1> so how  i do register?
[02:13] <elrodro1> well nevermind that
[02:13] <elrodro1> by now
[02:13] <elrodro1> radianfire
[02:13] <Sanne> Bearcat: It might be beneficial if we do this in #ubuntu-classroom, it's much quieter. What do you say?
[02:14] <zach_> Well, I'm getting off here. Peace out, everyone
[02:14] <elrodro1> radianfire: I have just downloaded it
[02:14] <Sanne> Bearcat: and yes, you may scratch ;)
[02:14] <elrodro1> now what I must do?

[02:28] <pagan0ne> if someone had to guess how long it would take to bzip a 600Mb directory on a 2Ghz system with a decent ammount of ram, using ARK what would a good guess be?
[02:29] <kakarotto> mmm some 13 minutes?
[02:30] <pagan0ne> kakarotto: ok so its deffinaly botched sompthing, im going on 45 mins
[02:31] <kakarotto> :O
[02:32] <pagan0ne> kakarotto: jeeze what could have went wrong, im trying to make a backup copy of the home directory, i have a copy of it, and it wont bzip or gzip!

[03:12] <ejortegau> though i think i found a way... let me check
[03:13] <ejortegau> ok, workarounds involve installing 32bit wrappers and s/w... i'd rather stay w/o opera

[03:21] <ejortegau> any of you guys running opera?

[03:34] <darkrift> Does anyone know where to get that windows bliss wallpaper where its stormy and the sun comming thru the clouds makes the windows logo on teh grass (or the penguin version of it?)
[03:34] <nosrednaekim> RawSewage__: that requires dcop
[03:34] <Ace2016> deviant art?
[03:34] <darkrift> i know it was very high rated on some sites, so maybe someone here has seen it
[03:34] <RawSewage__> nosrednaekim, oh, ok. thx
[03:35] <ejortegau> hey guys, please open this url with both konqueror and firefox and tell me if you see any difference on the browser buttons below the left navigation panel
[03:35] <ejortegau> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[03:38] <ejortegau> guys?
[03:38] <illriginal> Hey what's up guys, I have a problem! For some reason I get an error when I attempt to delete folders from my Recycling Bin. Can anyone help?
[03:39] <nosrednaekim> loading it up,...
[03:39] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: and what is the error?
[03:39] <illriginal> nosrednaekim: "/home/illri...t-winconfig" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[03:40] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: you delete that why you were root.. so you can't delete it now ( I thing...
[03:40] <nosrednaekim> *think
[03:40] <illriginal> These folders that I'm tryin to delete have already been installed, and were just sittin on my desktop. Now it won't let me delete them permanently.
[03:40] <illriginal> ok.. how do I go into root
[03:41] <illriginal> in order to delete them permanently.
[03:41] <nosrednaekim> yep there is a difference ejortegau
[03:41] <nosrednaekim> oh wait... no there isn't
[03:41] <illriginal> huh?
[03:42] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: so, konq shows all the buttons?
[03:42] <nosrednaekim> "kdesu konqueror" and navigate to .trash
[03:42] <ejortegau> mi konq over here refuses to show the firefox xbutton :S
[03:42] <nosrednaekim> It seems to
[03:42] <nosrednaekim> lol... yeah.. I didn't se that.
[03:42] <illriginal> im on ubuntu. would I use su?
[03:42] <nosrednaekim> mine shows a konqueror button
[03:42] <ejortegau> cr*p
[03:42] <ejortegau> there should be firefox, opera and konq buttons
[03:42] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: ubuntu? go to the #ubuntu channel
[03:43] <illriginal> they're too busy to help.
[03:43] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: but interetsingly..firefox doens't show the konqueror button lol
[03:43] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: ah ok... then do "gksu nautilus"
[03:43] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: I believe it!
[03:43] <Darkkish> firefox sure does crash on me alot
[03:44] <nosrednaekim> Darkkish: really? not for me...
[03:44] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: your are kidding me. here firefox shows all of them
[03:44] <ejortegau> hmmm
[03:44] <ejortegau> this is weird
[03:44] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: I don't think I am..lemme try loading it again
[03:44] <Darkkish> nosrednaekim: yep, i was entering a password and bam. just dissapeared.
[03:44] <illriginal> perfect!
[03:45] <illriginal> thanks nosrednaekim
[03:45] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: ah! you are correct.. I see it now... man I'm a bad tester
[03:45] <ejortegau> hahah, np, thanks anyway
[03:45] <ejortegau> konq shows the firefox button?
[03:45] <nosrednaekim> illriginal: you got rid of it?
[03:49] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: no... I don't think it does... maybe i'll try again though ;)
[03:49] <ejortegau> thanks, sorry to bother
[03:50] <kane> Does anyone know how to get kaffeine to play RM files correctly? I've gotten it to play, but no sound
[03:50] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: its ok... no I only see opera an konqueror
[03:52] <ejortegau> yeah, i'd commented it...
[03:52] <ejortegau> hmm
[03:52] <ejortegau> wait
[03:52] <ejortegau> could you please testa again?
[03:53] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: yep!
[03:53] <ejortegau> 3 buttons, right? ff, konq and opera?
[03:53] <nosrednaekim> I have dial up... it takes a while
[03:55] <nosrednaekim> sorry to say this... but two icons...
[03:55] <Darkkish> garrr
[03:55] <RawSewage> nosrednaekim, ok you were right.  the final command i s    dcop amarok playlist clearPlaylist && amarok -sp %U
[03:56] <nosrednaekim> RawSewage: ok.. cool
[03:56] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: which two?
[03:57] <nosrednaekim> opera and *drumroll* konquror
[03:57] <ejortegau> hmmm... strange thing...
[03:57] <ejortegau> ok, i'll keep checking what's wrong
[03:59] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: lol... try setting konqueror to act like firefox.
[03:59] <darkrift> question...
[03:59] <darkrift> ark wont open a rar file
[03:59] <darkrift> what do i need to add to it
[04:00] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: done...had to copy tha image to my webserver instead of using it from spreadfirefox... don't really know why. try it, please
[04:01] <nosrednaekim> I am...
[04:02] <ejortegau> hahahah
[04:02] <nosrednaekim> I see three buttons!
[04:02] <ejortegau> good
[04:02] <ejortegau> thanks
[04:02] <ejortegau> i think i'll try to find a safari button now
[04:03] <nosrednaekim> maybe its cause I told my browser to act like firfox?
[04:03] <nosrednaekim> hehe
[04:03] <ejortegau> where did you tell it to do that?
[04:04] <nosrednaekim> settings->browser identification
[04:05] <nosrednaekim> no... it works when I use plain jane konqueror. good job.
[04:09] <klobster_> java works in konq, but in swiftfox is a nogo?
[04:11] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: that browser id thing only tells it how to announce itself, but  the engine is always khtml... it will behave as konqueror no matter what you change the user agent to
[04:11] <nosrednaekim> ejortegau: yeah I know. But sometimes that affects how sites tell your browser how to render
[04:12] <ejortegau> nosrednaekim: trust me, my site is not that smart :D
[04:12] <nosrednaekim> lol
[04:12] <nosrednaekim> nice site BTW
[04:16] <shadowhywind> does anyone know what needs to be added to the openssh config file to listen to connections using the hostname?
[04:21] <Darkkish> how do i make my tasklist be on two lines instead of one
[04:21] <Darkkish> The system tray i mean
[04:22] <redfive> ok
[04:22] <Darkkish> what?
[04:22] <redfive> how do you mount a windows share and make it map every time you reboot?
[04:22] <redfive> whats the syntax for fstab?
[04:23] <crimsun> documented in fstab(5), or `man 5 fstab`
[04:23] <hitmanWilly> redfive: under type smbfs
[04:23] <hitmanWilly> redfive: other than that its the same as for nfs iirc
[04:26] <intelikey> who can guess at what is causing this ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37282
[04:26] <Darkkish> how to i make the system tray smaller?
[04:27] <crimsun> intelikey: do you have modutils installed?
[04:27] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: corrupted drive?
[04:27] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: as in very heavily corrupted
[04:28] <intelikey> crimsun don't seem to no.
[04:28] <crimsun> 2.4 requires modutils.  It can't use module-init-tools, which is 2.6-only.
[04:28] <intelikey> hitmanWilly heh   drive is flawless.
[04:28] <intelikey> crimsun and   i would need that why ?
[04:28] <intelikey>  i can modprobe any module i want
[04:28] <crimsun> intelikey: well, do you have kernel modules?
[04:29] <intelikey> yes
[04:29] <crimsun> oh, is this feisty or gutsy?
[04:29] <intelikey> no dapper.
[04:29] <crimsun> interesting.
[04:29] <crimsun> module-init-tools deprecated 2.4 support a while ago.
[04:29] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: oh, stupid question, but you're not trying to mount a ext2 partition as ext3 are you?
[04:30] <intelikey> hitmanWilly  the "stupid" initrd.img may be trying to, yes.
[04:31] <intelikey> crimsun i spoke in error, sorry.   modutils is already the newest version.
[04:31] <intelikey> so yes it's installed.
[04:31] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: hmmm, that's why i hate rd images
[04:31] <intelikey> hitmanWilly yes.
[04:31] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: you should be able to rc-update it...iirc
[04:32] <crimsun> you could remove ksymoops, too.
[04:32] <intelikey> rc-update ?  </blinks>
[04:32] <crimsun> it's definitely not installed by default on Ubuntu
[04:32] <BluesKaj> modutils-init-tools for the latest kernel kernel
[04:32] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: man it :)
[04:32] <BluesKaj> err kernel:)
[04:32] <crimsun> he means update-rc.d(8), BTW.
[04:33] <intelikey> hitmanWilly i can rm -r /etc/rc*   wont affect this system any
[04:33] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: back it up and give it a shot...the kernel should have built in support for ext3
[04:34] <hitmanWilly> err, ext2 or whatever
[04:34] <intelikey> hitmanWilly the kernel does not have builtin ext anything one default ubuntu kernels.
[04:34] <intelikey> one/on/
[04:35] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: how the fsck does it boot a drive then? i thought it had to be native to boot from it?
[04:35] <intelikey> but this is non-default...  so the 2.4 might have ext?fs support...
[04:35] <intelikey> hitmanWilly the initrd.img
[04:35] <hitmanWilly> there we go again...
[04:36] <hitmanWilly> anyway, you may have to wipe the img and regen one
[04:36] <darkrift> http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dualdesk12winlikeqm2.jpg <---- need that wallpaper! lol
[04:37] <darkrift> be cool if someone could do that witrh the kubuntu logo
[04:37] <hitmanWilly> darkrift: then either wget it or "save image as" it and play with it via gimp :P
[04:38] <intelikey> so crimsun any chance that rebuilding the initrd will help that ?
[04:38] <darkrift> that one is small
[04:38] <darkrift> i want the orig
[04:38] <intelikey> i can't really see how it could   the root fs will still be unwritabe while it's using the rd.
[04:38] <darkrift> i had it on my other laptop, but cant find it now
[04:38] <darkrift> and other laptop is dead :(
[04:40] <c1|freaky> Tribe 1 is out ^^
[04:40] <Darkkish> how do i make my system tray 2 lines tall?
[04:41] <intelikey> right click configure
[04:41] <Darkkish> tried that
[04:41] <Darkkish> it's not a choice
[04:41] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: nah, no option for it there
[04:41] <Darkkish> but i swear it's usually on 2 lines.
[04:42] <hitmanWilly> Darkkish: maybe a panel setting somewhere
[04:42] <Darkkish> hitmanWilly: is your's on two lines?
[04:43] <darkrift> mine is
[04:43] <darkrift> by default
[04:43] <Darkkish> darkrift by default is the size set to "normal" or "large"?
[04:43] <ejortegau> large will do it
[04:44] <Darkkish> but i don't want it set to large :-/
[04:45] <intelikey> shachaf
[04:46] <shachaf> intelikey: I tested your memory usage script, it seems to work.
[04:46] <shachaf> intelikey: (Sorry for the late response.)
[04:46] <shachaf> intelikey: But it seems easier just to run "htop".
[04:47] <intelikey> yeah htop is easier to type than mem
[04:47] <Darkkish> man i feel like playing with photoshop :-/
[04:48] <shachaf> intelikey: About as easy.
[04:48] <shachaf> intelikey: It also gives more information. :-)
[04:48] <intelikey> exactly.
[04:48] <shachaf> intelikey: So why did you write your script?
[04:48] <intelikey> and if all you want to see is the ram usage you don't want to see "more information"
[04:49] <shachaf> intelikey: Hmm.
[04:49] <shachaf> intelikey: But htop gives you a nice visual indicator.
[04:49] <intelikey> anyone can   cat /proc/meminfo
[04:49] <shachaf> intelikey: And also shows swap (I know that doesn't apply to you).
[04:49] <intelikey> anyone can   cat /proc/meminfo
[04:51] <intelikey> shachaf ok.  i'll confess and not hide it from you.  i didn't have a reason.  it was totally on a "whim" that i wrote it.    now you've found me out....
[04:52] <intelikey> :)
[04:52] <shachaf> intelikey: I do that too sometimes. :-)
[04:52] <shachaf> intelikey: I was just curious.
[04:55] <intelikey> well now in a little more somber and honest moment, so many people in here have said things like   "why is linux using all my memory"   i kinda wanted to be able to say "run this and tell me how much ram it's actually using.    but i know that that is a futile cause anyway,  but it's kinda the motivation behind writing it.
[04:56] <intelikey>  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37283  <<< what we were discussing, in case anyone was curious.
[04:58] <intelikey> i've rebuilt the initrd with MODULES=dep and hoping that it drops ext3, and that maybe it won't try to log oops's before it is mounted rw ...
[05:03] <intelikey> nope.   changed the errors around a bit but didn't help really.  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37284
[05:06] <logan> Can you reroute the line-in / mic-in to be additional audio channels like in windows?
[05:08] <intelikey> i did gain 3m of ram by rebuilding the initrd.img     that's a good thing.
[05:09] <intelikey> logan probably can.  i wouldn't know how to.
[05:13] <Ashex> bah, this is retarded
[05:13] <Ashex> how can the volume already contain errors if I just created it?
[05:14] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: hmmm, normally iwould say recompile with built-in drivers, but ubuntu makes that more af a pita than it already is...
[05:15] <hitmanWilly> intelikey: and then just wipe the rd img altogether...
[05:15] <arun> how do i install the quicktime plugin for firefox?
[05:16] <hitmanWilly> arun: mplayer should handle quicktime
[05:17] <intelikey> hitmanWilly normally i would agree.  i deleted all my kernel source in one of those moments of frustration....   dailup doesn't like grabbing kernel tarballs....
[05:18] <intelikey> in this particular i think "ignoring the errors" is the best course.
[05:18] <intelikey> back in a few.
[05:21] <Ashex> hmm, looks like i figured out why it throws an error
[05:21] <Ashex> Hard drive is about to fail
[05:21] <Darkkish> D:
[05:21] <Ashex> Eh, no worries
[05:22] <Ashex> I just partitioned to hold my disk images
[05:22] <Ashex> so, I don't have much on it and I should hopefully be able to move it to another drive
[05:23] <Ashex> If I'm lucky it's under warranty ;)
[05:24] <Darkkish> jgrrr
[05:24] <Darkkish> firefox isn't giving me input
[05:25] <Darkkish> nothing i type shows up[
[05:26] <Darkkish> (i could restart, but i don't really want to..)
[05:27] <Darkkish> guess i have to
[05:27] <Dekkard> is kooldock buggy, or is it me?
[05:27] <intelikey> are you buggy ?
[05:27] <Dekkard> sometimes
[05:27] <intelikey> :)
[05:29] <intelikey> what's a good timming app ?
[05:30] <intelikey> maybe i'll just script something.   to see how many seconds a month i have a web browser open.
[05:32] <Dekkard> something to do with touch?
[05:34] <intelikey> probably not in this case.   probably something to do with date +"%s"
[05:37] <jarn> Eh.
[05:38] <jarn> Apparently I somehow saved a file in DOS format (whatever that means); is there anyway to get it back?
[05:38] <klobster> should I uninstall the java 5 and jre2 v1.4 now that I have java 6?
[05:39] <intelikey> jarn        tr -d '\r'
[05:39] <jarn> intelikey: I ended up just copying the text out and creating a new file. Not elegant, but it worked. Thanks, though. :)
[05:41] <intelikey> jarn np.  there is even an app made for that.   dos2unix unix2dos
[05:41] <intelikey> but tr works
[05:41] <jarn> intelikey: Thanks. :)
[05:47] <Darkkish> er
[05:47] <Darkkish> how do i re-add the system tray to the kpanel menu?
[05:48] <Jucato> Darkkish: right-click on the panel -> Add Applet to Panel -> System Tray
[05:48] <Darkkish> Jucato: it's not in the list o__o
[05:49] <Darkkish> oh wait nvm
[05:49] <Darkkish> it magically re appeared
[05:49] <Darkkish> everything in my system tray is gone though
[05:50] <Darkkish> urgh
[05:50] <Darkkish> time to restartx
[05:50] <Jucato> er?
[05:50] <Jucato> (he could have just restarted kicker...)
[05:53] <Sloik> Yo
[05:54] <Jucato> Darkkish: next time, you can just restart kicker (the panel) with this command: dcop kicker kicker restart
[06:00] <Darkkish> i managed to crash x somehow or something
[06:05] <Darkkish> it went into the whatcha call it
[06:05] <Darkkish> and i tried to do startx
[06:05] <Darkkish> and it said it was already running, but i couldn't figure out how to get back to it
[06:06] <shinobi> ctrl-alt-F7
[06:07] <shinobi> suddenly occured to me to switch to a 64bit version at last. What are the principle 32bit apps that I will loose (unless i have chroot)
[06:07] <shinobi> any wisdom from the oracle?
[06:08] <Dr_willis> theres flash issues i belive. and some emulators
[06:08] <Dr_willis> not sure if java is still problematic or not
[06:09] <gajolo> how do you connect to another irc channel? Is that the right word for it?
[06:10] <shinobi> gajolo in konversation file>join channel>#kde (or whatever)
[06:10] <crimsun> "join"
[06:10] <shinobi> so no flash no skype, possibly no java?
[06:11] <shinobi> sounds like chroot is still a must huh
[06:12] <gajolo> ty, but I think what I meant was how o you join another server?
[06:13] <shinobi> gajolo file>quick connect... enter details
[06:24] <Sloik> So... anyone have anything interesting to say?
[06:24] <Darkkish> k so
[06:24] <Darkkish> i set beryl to run in xgl
[06:24] <Darkkish> idk why
[06:24] <Darkkish> just to see what would happen
[06:25] <Darkkish> and now i can't set it back to auto (it freezes up when i start it)
[06:27] <Hobbsee> Darkkish: try #ubuntu-effects
[06:31] <antiroach> is there an easy way to upgrade dapper to fiesty fawn? i tried replacing the sources file and doing a apt-get upgrade but that didnt seem to work right
[06:33] <Hobbsee> !upgrade
[06:33] <ubotu> See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for upgrading from Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) to Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
[06:33] <Hobbsee> antiroach: you need to dist-upgrade to edgy, then to feisty
[06:33] <antiroach> ah
[06:35] <klobster> is there a prog similar to kate that is more lightweight? (handles multiple files, code freindly)
[06:37] <Hobbsee> klobster: kwrite?
[06:37] <antiroach> Hobbsee is there an easy way to upgrade from dapper to edgy then? that url doesnt give any 'easy' way.
[06:39] <Hobbsee> antiroach: you need to run a dist-upgrade for that, ie changing your sources list to edgy first
[06:39] <Aresilek> what's the command to start vnc?
[06:39] <Hobbsee> antiroach: the dist-upgrader for kubuntu was only written for edgy--> feisty
[06:39] <antiroach> Hobbsee ahh
[06:40] <antiroach> ok i see. im changing all dapper references to edgy
[06:40] <Hobbsee> yep
[06:41] <klobster> kwrite wont support multiple files in one window
[06:41] <antiroach> hm when i do that and do a apt-get upgrade it lists a LOT of files that are going to be kept back. is that ok ?
[06:42] <Sloik> Anyone have any success installing the FGLRX drivers?
[06:42] <Hobbsee> antiroach: so you need to use a dist-upgrade, not just an upgrade
[06:42] <antiroach> Hobbsee hmm ok
[06:42] <antiroach> that worked better
[06:43] <antiroach> 1097 upgraded, 172 newly installed, 64 to remove and 40 not upgraded.
[06:43] <antiroach> Need to get 958MB/959MB of archives.
[06:43] <antiroach> this is going to be fun. thanks Hobbsee
[06:44] <Hobbsee> :)
[06:47] <dewey> hmmm anyone testing 7.10 yet?
[06:47] <michael_> are there any programs that letme give voice commands
[06:47] <michael_> like if i say "start konsole" it starts konsole
[06:47] <michael_> or something like that
[06:48] <michael_> whats the command to restart xorg?

[06:50] <michael_> yeh but will it restart my konsole window?
[06:50] <antiroach> yes
[06:50] <michael_> damn it
[06:50] <antiroach> why do you want to restart xorg
[06:50] <Ertain> Hello everyone.  Does anyone use Qemu here?
[06:50] <michael_> becuase its using 700mb ram
[06:50] <michael_> lol
[06:50] <dewey> hmmm got kde 3.5.7 installed on 7.04 :)
[06:51] <michael_> and its goin real slow
[06:51] <antiroach> oh hah

[06:51] <michael_> nah its grabbing svn
[06:51] <antiroach> oh ok. that shouldnt take long
[06:51] <michael_> yeh
[06:53] <antiroach> Hobbsee will i have to reboot after upgrading to edgy in order to upgrade to fiesty  ?

[07:25] <flowingfire> Hi!  I'm trying to follow a set of instructions for Ubuntu, but I'm not sure how to implement them in Kubuntu.  It says "Go to System->Preferences->Sessions and click the Startup Programs tab."  Then it instructs me to add a complex command line... How do I do this in Kubuntu?
[07:26] <flowingfire> hmm.... maybe i'll check the ubuntu room
[07:26] <Jucato> !autostart | flowingfire
[07:26] <ubotu> flowingfire: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
[07:27] <flowingfire> jucato: How do you add a specific command line?
[07:27] <Jucato> flowingfire: in ~/.kde/Autostart/, right-click -> Create New -> Link to Application. fill up the fields with the command you want
[07:28] <flowingfire> Ok thx. :)  Kewl.
[07:32] <dogatemycomputer> i'm configuring my machine to use wake-on-lan.  wake-on-lan will not work unless the machine hibernates.  If it goes into standby then it never comes back and if I turn it off then wol-on-lan stops working.
[07:33] <dogatemycomputer> Q1: Is there a workaround for this available?  I've already enabled WOL in the BIOS (obv otherwise it wouldn't work with hibernation) and I already configured WOL via ethertool.  Am I missing a change that would allow me to shutdown the machine rather than hibernate it?
[07:33] <StErGi0s> hello how can i disable the effects when minimising a window?
[07:34] <dogatemycomputer> Q2: Are there any pitfalls with hibernation that I should be aware of?  (ie: are there any reported problems such as corrupting disks or screwing up some programs that I should be aware of?  I know if it were that problematic then they would disable the feature completely but I figured I would ask)..
[07:34] <dogatemycomputer> Thanks for anyone who may be willing to respond.
[07:34] <jwallingford> ok for a while i was trying to get thunderbird v2.0 to install and could never do it. I gave up and now want to install the thunderbird v1.5 that comes in adept. I can install and uninstall it just fine but when i go to run the program it just loads and loads and loads and then the bouncing icon of it loading dissapears and nothing else happens... anybody know what I could have messed up? or maybe how to fix this?
[07:37] <chipbuddy> so i'm using gthumb to find duplicate pictures, but do i really have to do all these clicks to get rid of all the duplicates? is there a faster way to trash all these duplicates?
[07:41] <hangthedj> jwallingford: run the command in konsole and see what the output is.
[07:42] <jwallingford> I get this: /opt/thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh: 424: /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: not found
[07:47] <sivaji> my system cant detect floopy , what is the reason for that
[07:47] <sivaji> but same driver can detect the same floopy in windows
[07:47] <crimsun> is floppy.ko loaded?
[07:48] <sivaji> crimsun i dont know what is that
[07:48] <crimsun> it's the "Linux driver".  lsmod|grep ^floppy
[07:49] <sivaji> crimsun it cant detect dvd also
[07:49] <sivaji> sivaji@sivaji-desktop:~$ lsmod|grep ^floppy
[07:49] <sivaji> floppy                 62148  0
[07:50] <sivaji> crimsun what does it means
[07:50] <crimsun> it means it's loaded.  Now does `dmesg|grep fd0` reveal anything?
[07:51] <sivaji> sivaji@sivaji-desktop:~$ dmesg|grep fd0
[07:51] <sivaji> [17179569.184000]  mapped APIC to ffffd000 (fee00000)
[07:51] <sivaji> [17179592.220000]  Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
[07:52] <crimsun> ok good.  And now is /dev/fd0 mounted?
[07:54] <sivaji> crimsun ya it works now am i suppose to mount manually every time
[07:54] <sivaji> crimsun
[07:54] <crimsun> no idea if it's supposed to be automounted by whatever policy Kubuntu uses.
[07:55] <sivaji> crimsun same way my system cant detect dvd it means i am suppose to mount that correct

[08:01] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

[10:28] <Evil_Monkey> I'm trying to remember the name of the program that you type a key and it gives you the "code" of the key
[10:28] <llutz> xev
[10:28] <Evil_Monkey> thanks
[10:29] <Evil_Monkey> hmmm, confirms that my computer isn't see my windows key
[10:29] <Evil_Monkey> okay actually it is
[10:29] <Evil_Monkey> weird
[10:30] <Evil_Monkey> because when I try to set up global shortcuts, it doesn't seem to see the windows key
[10:30] <llutz> Evil_Monkey: assign a symbol to the keycode
[10:30] <llutz> Evil_Monkey:with xmodmap
[10:33] <Evil_Monkey> thanks
[10:34] <Evil_Monkey> just seemed really weird since Kubuntu did so many things nicely out of the box like the multimedia keys in Amarok
[10:34] <Evil_Monkey> but the Windows key.....
[10:34] <llutz> Evil_Monkey: they should have been recognized too... try to fix it, good luck
[10:34] <jack-> its intentional
[10:35] <jack-> installing linux included a hidden "NEVER PRESS THIS KEY AGAIN" note
[10:35] <Evil_Monkey> I was actually pleasantly surprised
[10:35] <llutz> lol
[10:35] <jack-> ;p
[10:35] <Evil_Monkey> it was a new Dell laptop (not preinstalled with Ubuntu

[10:36] <jack-> you dont want a preinstalled one, anyway
[10:37] <jack-> ubuntu with all the extra repos supports like everything that can emit a .wav fart
[10:37] <llutz> "preinstalled ubuntu" means no forced win, thats ok.

[10:55] <SilentDis> hello
[10:55] <Jucato> !info unrar | eagles0513875
[10:55] <SilentDis> how do I get the UUID of a disk?

[10:56] <SilentDis> !uuid
[10:56] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[11:03] <SilentDis> bit of an odd one here.  I have a Ximeta netdisk.  I have it's driver properly setup, and a proper entry in /etc/fstab.  I can mount/umount it from a prompt, as a user, without trouble.  I'd like to 'hook' it into the control stuff for KDE, so i can access it via media:/ in konqueror and the like.  any ideas?
[11:08] <red> it's cool, just found the answer, need to install postgres-dev
[11:30] <juan278> is there any support for segfs in fiesty, or do i need to compile
[11:30] <rothchild> hi all, can anyone offer me any tips on if and how I can set up my laptop as a 'LAMP' sandbox to try out some .php based software I want to play with (i.e this : http://xrms.sourceforge.net/pagebuilder.php?s1=18 )
[11:42] <ardchoille> !lamp | rothchild Have a look at this:
[11:42] <ubotu> rothchild Have a look at this:: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:43] <rothchild> thanks ardchoille
[11:44] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[11:44] <rothchild> has anyone used www.zendurl.com I've been trying to use it for this xrms experiement but I can't seem to rename the mysql database so xrms won't run
[11:50] <scorp123> Hi all ...
[11:50] <scorp123> Question: When I install 1 system ... how can I carry over the list of packages I installed there to a second system (so it installs the same packages as on the 1st system) ??
[11:52] <ardchoille> scorp123: I believe it's: "dpkg --get-selections > file.txt" to get a list of installed packages and "dpkg --set-selections < file.txt" to install the packages in that list.
[11:52] <Jucato> hm..... :/
[11:53] <ardchoille> Jucato: Is that no correct?
[11:53] <scorp123> ardchoille: in the "man" page it says that this will only mark the packages as "selected" but not really download them ...
[11:53] <Jucato> no I was wondering about something else...
[11:53] <scorp123> ardchoille: Is there a way to feed this list to an automatic executed "apt-get install" somehow?
[11:54] <ardchoille> Jucato: Can you comment on my above advice to scorp123 when you have a chance?
[11:55] <Jucato> ardchoille: looks ok to me. I'm not really familiar with it.
[11:55] <ardchoille> Ok
[11:55] <ardchoille> scorp123: Well, it worked for me and I learned it from some other folks in this channel.
[11:56] <scorp123> ardchoille: and this part "dpkg --set-selections < file.txt" will trigger the downloads?
[11:56] <scorp123> ardchoille: or would I need to execute something more?
[11:57] <ardchoille> scorp123: Not sure how to do it with apt-get
[11:58] <scorp123> ardchoille: how did you do it? via "dselect" ?
[11:58] <ardchoille> scorp123: What I do to clone a system is use partimage to make an archive of the current partition, then use partimage on the new system to install that image on the new hard drive. That way I have an exact clone.
[11:59] <scorp123> ardchoille: yes, we thought of that but that's overkill here ...
[11:59] <ardchoille> No need to download anything and it takes about 10 minutes on a 4Gb drive
[11:59] <ardchoille> < scorp123> Question: When I install 1 system ... how can I carry over the list of packages I installed there to a second system (so it installs the same packages as on the 1st system) ??
[11:59] <ardchoille> !clone
[11:59] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate

[12:09] <ardchoille> Jucato: Hmm.. never seen that.. weird. But, I can tell you that many folks have found the internet laggy lately, since the AT&T problem.
[12:09] <Jucato> oh....
[12:10] <Jucato> well anyway... at least I can still go online in CLI... just sucks that irssi isn't installed by default...
[12:10] <ardchoille> I totally agree
[12:10] <Jucato> oh btw... I'm not affected by any AT&T problem...
[12:10] <ardchoille> irssi is one of the first things I install on any new system.
[12:10] <Jucato> and I'd be damned surprised if I were :)
[12:10] <ardchoille> Jucato: You're not? You're quite lucky, then
[12:11] <Jucato> well, considering that I'm halfway around the globe? :D
[12:11] <ardchoille> Ah, yeah
[12:12] <ardchoille> o.O
[12:12] <ardchoille> Nice
[12:12] <Jucato> yeah. I can't believe it actually worked! lol :)
[12:12] <scorp123> Jucato: are you running "nscd" (Name Server Cache Daemon) ?
[12:12] <KChucky> Hello
[12:12] <KChucky> I was here yesterdayy
[12:12] <Jucato> scorp123: hm... not sure.. gonna check
[12:12] <scorp123> Jucato: can you do a "ps -efH" and check if you see "nscd" somewhere?
[12:12] <scorp123> Jucato: I had a case where "nscd" was hanging.
[12:12] <Jucato> nope
[12:13] <KChucky> I was the one having EDAC (ECC) error on linux
[12:13] <Jucato> well... I'll just hope and pray :)
[12:13] <KChucky> Is there still no BUGFIX for LINUX??
[12:14] <KChucky> I have KUBUNTU 7,10 and the EDAC problem is NOT fixed
[12:14] <scorp123> KChucky: no idea what you are talking about.
[12:14] <KChucky> ECC you know  that?
[12:14] <Jucato> hahah 12 minutes to install irssi :)
[12:14] <scorp123> KChucky: and besides (K)Ubuntu 7.10 is regarded as being *ALPHA* software, so errors are bound to happen :-)
[12:15] <KChucky> Yes I know! I tried it with Kubuntuu 7.04 but it had issues with ECC enabled RAM
[12:15] <KChucky> so I tried 7.10 but it has also issues
[12:16] <KChucky> LINUX CAN'T  HANDLE ECC???
[12:16] <ardchoille> KChucky: 7.10 is bound to have issues, it's quite alpha
[12:16] <KChucky> I'm  talking about 7.04
[12:17] <KChucky> 7.10 had just the same issues
[12:17] <Help_adept> ardchoille i am using kubuntu on my laptop, i installed it... why would i not have admin rights?
[12:17] <ardchoille> Help_adept: Can you use sudo/kdesu successfully?
[12:17] <Help_adept> yes
[12:17] <cody> does 7.10 come out with KDE 4.0 ?
[12:17] <ardchoille> Then you have admin rights
[12:17] <Help_adept> i type sudo ............
[12:17] <Jucato> cody: no
[12:18] <Help_adept> then it asks me for password which i enter

[12:18] <Jucato> Help_adept: you do have admin rights. when you run Adept Manager from the menu, a box will popup asking for your password
[12:18] <KChucky> I'm currently installing kubuntu 7.10
[12:18] <ardchoille> Help_adept: We work as "normal user", never as root. Then, when we need to perform admin tasks, we use sudo.. which asks for our password.
[12:19] <cody> i had the same problem, that happens when you leave the CD in your device after installing the system ...
[12:19] <Help_adept> ok but if i access adept manager from the aplications menu it says i dont have rights...
[12:19] <KChucky> CAN SOMEBODY tell me howto rmmod the edac "feature" of linux which makes my comp beepp every second
[12:19] <ardchoille> cody: When you reboot, it will ask you to remove the cd before rebooting
[12:19] <Help_adept> so does that mean the only way i can use it is if i access via alt+f2?
[12:20] <ardchoille> Help_adept: Do this: ALT+F2  type in kmenuedit  and then see if the command entry for that menu item has "kdesu" in front of it. If it doesn't, add it.
[12:20] <Jucato> Help_adept: hm... that's strange. that is definitely not normal
[12:20] <Jucato> (ardchoille: he could also right-click on the menu entry or on the K menu icon :) )
[12:21] <KChucky> Hey please  help install is about 94% now...
[12:21] <ardchoille> Jucato: Ah, yes, forgot about that.
[12:21] <KChucky> need to  remove edac because it is useless on linux only it is too buggy
[12:22] <ardchoille> !edac
[12:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about edac - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:22] <ardchoille> What is edac?
[12:22] <KChucky> same ass ECC
[12:22] <KChucky> same as
[12:22] <KChucky> ^
[12:23] <KChucky> Error Correction Code
[12:23] <KChucky> feature of good motherboards
[12:23] <ardchoille> Ah
[12:23] <KChucky> but it makes a hell lotta beeps if I run linux
[12:23] <KChucky> It tell me the ram is bad
[12:23] <KChucky> But I know it is NOOT
[12:24] <KChucky> made memtest,  ram is ok
[12:24] <KChucky> the cd is also ok and the temp of my comp is ok also
[12:25] <KChucky> no idea?
[12:28] <KChucky> :(
[12:41] <nahemoth> how can I install vmware on kubuntu?
[12:44] <HymnToLife> !vmware | nahemoth
[12:44] <ubotu> nahemoth: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[12:48] <nahemoth> when I try to install vmware package I get the warning "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. "
[12:48] <nahemoth> why? what should I do?

[01:04] <drkns> hello
[01:04] <drkns> i am trying to install this kde theme manager package
[01:05] <nahemoth> drkns then
[01:05] <drkns> but when i go to system settings , apperance, kde theme manager it says this will require root access and i should click on administrator button
[01:05] <drkns> but there is no admin button
[01:07] <drkns> k i will try several times
[01:09] <drkns> one more problem is that i am trying to use this printer connected to a windows machine and it is being shared but when i try to search it it wont come up and says access denied
[01:11] <drkns> it has been 7 times since i tried but still no administrator button
[01:17] <drkns> nahe alt f2 worked thx
[01:19] <drkns> ok here is another challenege
[01:19] <drkns> i am trying to install kubuntu on my home pc
[01:19] <drkns> i have 4 drives
[01:19] <drkns> one 60gb ata133 drive
[01:20] <drkns> one 500gb partitioned to 150, 150, 100, 100 gb pieces
[01:20] <drkns> i am installing on to 100 gb partition but everytime it finishes installation
[01:21] <drkns> it says 500 gb drive is not the proper boot device
[01:21] <drkns> i set the 500gb drive as my first drive on bios
[01:22] <drkns> is it not possible to install kubuntu on partitioned drive ???
[01:23] <drkns> is it possible that hd(0) is not the right boot drive for me?
[01:25] <_StefanS_> drkns: it is possible, how many drives do you have?
[01:28] <drkns> i have 4 drives
[01:28] <drkns> one 80 gb ata 133
[01:28] <drkns> one 500gb sata II
[01:28] <drkns> and two 80 gb sata drives on raid 0
[01:30] <drkns> 500gb drive is seperated in to 4 partitions of 150, 150, 100 and 100 gb
[01:30] <ardchoille> drkns: Which drive id you install the bootloader on? That drive has to be to drive set to boot in bios.
[01:30] <drkns> i set 500gb drive as boot
[01:30] <ardchoille> Which drive/patition is the bootloader on?
[01:31] <drkns> when i select advanced while instal it says boot loader will be put on hd(0) but i do not know which drive is that
[01:31] <ardchoille> If you try booting from drive A but the booloader is on drive B, drive A won't boot.
[01:31] <drkns> i know
[01:32] <ardchoille> hd(0) is the master drive
[01:33] <athlon64_> i set up my 7.1 speakers and the now the woofer is pumpin full volume!
[01:33] <drkns> i think the master drive is 80 gb ata 133 not the 500gb sata II
[01:33] <drkns> himm
[01:33] <drkns> now how am i going to know that 500 gb is hd(?) what
[01:34] <drkns> trial and error i guess
[01:35] <drkns> this 4 partition on 500gb drive
[01:36] <drkns> are they going to be seen as seperate drives?
[01:36] <drkns> lets say hd(2) hd(3) etc
[01:36] <drkns> ?
[01:36] <drkns> or 500 gb drive will be seen as hd(2) all together as one drive?
[01:37] <_4strO> drkns: in a console type : sudo fdisk -l
[01:41] <drkns> thx
[01:44] <dfeser> hi!
[01:44] <dfeser> some kernel-guys here?
[01:46] <drkns> ok now what is theme manager for kubuntu?
[01:46] <drkns> where is it?
[01:46] <nosrednaekim> drkns: start "kcontrol"
[01:50] <athlon64_> i set up my 7.1 speakers and the now the woofer is pumpin full volume! Can anyone help?
[01:51] <nosrednaekim> athlon64_: mess around with the kcontrol settings
[01:51] <nosrednaekim> sorry... *kmix
[01:51] <drkns> nosred thx
[01:51] <nosrednaekim> drkns: no problem
[01:53] <_StefanS_> dfeser: you should probably try ubuntu-devel, and ben collins (bcollins I think)
[02:08] <mohan> hi. can anyone tell me how to install packages in kubuntu fiesty
[02:09] <nosrednaekim> yeah, use adept.
[02:09] <Jucato> mohan: start up Add/Remove Programs or Adept Manager.
[02:09] <Jucato> look for the package you want, and mark it for installation
[02:09] <mohan> thanks.
[02:10] <mohan> but i want to install software not listed in those
[02:10] <nosrednaekim> Jucato: heh... I probabaly wasn't specific enough..
[02:10] <Jucato> mohan: that depends on where/how you get that software and in what format. but are you sure it's not in our repositories?
[02:10] <Jucato> (which holds about 20,000 packages)
[02:12] <mohan> i checked the adept installer. but its not showing a list of packages for edutainment and games
[02:13] <nosrednaekim> mohan: use adept-manager
[02:14] <mohan> is there a way to add new repos to  adept installer
[02:14] <nosrednaekim> mohan: yes, there is.
[02:14] <nosrednaekim> I believe its in settings-> repositories
[02:16] <Jucato> Adept menu -> Manage Repositories
[02:16] <Jucato> mohan: what particular app are you looking for? there are tons of edutainment apps and games in the repositories
[02:17] <mohan> some gnome apps: gedit,
[02:17] <Jucato> O.o
[02:18] <Jucato> well gedit is definitely in the repositories. but I wouldn't call it an edutainment app or a game... (and Kate kicks it's @$$ anyway :P)
[02:18] <nosrednaekim> yeah... kate is far better
[02:18] <mohan> i don't see "Adept menu -> Manage Repositories" but only "Adept menu -> Quit"
 mohan: use adept-manager <----
[02:19] <nosrednaekim> mohan: what version do you have?
[02:19] <mohan> kubuntu 7.04
[02:20] <Jucato> nosrednaekim, mohan: there's no Manage Repositories in Adept Installer (Add/Remove Programs)
[02:20] <Jucato> only on Adept Manager
[02:21] <mohan> where is that placed in kmenu?
[02:21] <Jucato> K Menu -> Stystem ->
[02:21] <nosrednaekim> System
[02:22] <Jucato> heh
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> hi all
[02:22] <mohan> oh. thank u. jucato. i found that.
[02:22] <Jucato> why would you want to install gedit anyway? :D
[02:22] <mohan> thanks nos.
[02:23] <mohan> i used to write programs with gedit previously
[02:23] <Jucato> have you tried kate?
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> hi all, I've been messing with my colours and got myself in a bit of a state
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> all my dialogue boxes, in the main bit of the window is black
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> as is the text
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> can anyone advise how i can change this cos i cant find the bit to change it
[02:25] <mohan> kate also looks good for my programs, jucat
[02:25] <Jucato> ActionParsnip: System Settings -> Appearance -> Colors?
[02:26] <Jucato> mohan: it has an embedded terminal at the bottom too :)
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Jucato: yeah i found that bit but none of the colour items seem to describe the window body
[02:26] <Jucato> ActionParsnip: Window Text?
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> Jucato: like progres windows
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> Jucato: eg in DeVeDe main window, the text for the options is not readable as the background is black as well as the text
[02:28] <Jucato> ActionParsnip: yes. I'm telling you that the "Window Text" from the dropdown list in the Colors dialog box
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Jucato: i'll check it out man, cheers
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> is there a default config file i can rename to be recreated?
[02:38] <mohan> is there any alternative to gimp in kde apps
[02:38] <firdaus> somebody pls help me.. i dont know how to install software using kubuntu
[02:38] <Jucato> krita
[02:38] <Jucato> although it's not a direct alternative
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> firdaus: sudo apt-get install <program name>
[02:39] <Jucato> firdaus: or use Add/Remove Programs or Adept Manager (from K Menu -> System Settings)
[02:40] <firdaus> yup
[02:40] <firdaus> i already found the adept manager
[02:40] <firdaus> then how??
[02:40] <Jucato> search for the package you want to install. right-click on it and Request Install.
[02:40] <firdaus> i already download guitar pro software on the net
[02:41] <Jucato> er...
[02:41] <firdaus> but it cannot be install
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> firdaus: you will have to install wine or cedega or crossover office
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> if they are win32 programs
[02:42] <firdaus> the file is zip file
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> then you need to unzip  it to a folder
[02:42] <firdaus> then i download the winrar to install it
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> winrar is a windows app
[02:42] <Jucato> firdaus: is it a program for Windows or Linux?
[02:42] <firdaus> how to unzip??
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> you need to use archiver
[02:42] <Jucato> firdaus: Ark to unzip
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> menu -> utilitie -> ark
[02:44] <firdaus> oppss.. the file is rar
[02:44] <Jucato> firdaus: if it's a program that's meant for Windows, you can't use it on Linux directly
[02:44] <Jucato> firdaus: install the "unrar" package then you can use Ark to open rar files
[02:44] <firdaus> ooo...
[02:44] <firdaus> one more thing
[02:45] <firdaus> my OS cannot support mp3
[02:45] <ardchoille> firdaus: Are you looking for guitar software?
[02:45] <firdaus> yes
[02:45] <Jucato> firdaus: just install "libxine-extracodecs" and you can play them
[02:45] <ardchoille> firdaus: Why not install something from the repos?
[02:45] <firdaus> what is repos??
[02:46] <ardchoille> firdaus: You should always check the repos before installing software outside the repos. Chances are the software you want might be in the repos
[02:46] <ardchoille> !repos | firdaus
[02:46] <ubotu> firdaus: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[02:46] <ardchoille> firdaus: I see that "apt-cache search guitar" has several guitar apps in the repos

[02:49] <firdaus> i open some mp file using amarok
[02:49] <firdaus> but it cant
[02:49] <Jucato>  <Jucato> firdaus: just install "libxine-extracodecs" and you can play them

[02:49] <Jucato> doesn't Amarok ask you if you want to install mp3 support?
[02:51] <firdaus> no
[02:53] <Dr_willis> i thought some kde media player did that for video. Not seen it do it for audio/,mp3
[02:59] <don> I cannot seem to get Kubuntu to mount a USB flash drive....
[02:59] <don> or even see it...
[03:01] <darkrift> anyoen know how i check how much ram my video card shows it has (i think its being read wrong)
[03:02] <darkrift> with beryl running, i get lots of black boxes instead of windows and menues
[03:12] <Dr_willis> darkrift,  whats your video card ?
[03:12] <darkrift> nvidia mobile 6150
[03:12] <pawitp> Another blackbox problem
[03:12] <darkrift> got latest drivers
[03:13] <darkrift> some ppl helped me with that
[03:13] <pawitp> 6150
[03:13] <darkrift> 6100 series
[03:13] <pawitp> The same card with the other person who got this
[03:13] <pawitp> I got one integrated on my mobo
[03:13] <darkrift> heh
[03:13] <Delicates> my keyboard stopped working inside KDE. It works in KDM, but stops working once logged in. Any ideas?
[03:13] <darkrift> mines a lappy
[03:14] <pawitp> darkrift: Set in your bios somewhere that gives the card your ram
[03:14] <darkrift> well, vista ssaw 128mb and i havent changed anything
[03:14] <darkrift> so linux should also
[03:14] <pawitp> Integrated board uses system ram
[03:15] <Dr_willis> Delicates,  make a new user - see if it works with them. If so. it may be a setting issue in .kde
[03:15] <pawitp> darkrift: It's actually a problem of how many ram is given to the GFX
[03:16] <pawitp> darkrift: And not how many an OS sees it
[03:19] <darkrift> how do i view how much video ram linux thinks i have?
[03:20] <xst> I have created a new user account on my kubuntu box and has copied the .mozilla/ dir to the homedir of the new account. But firefox seems not to read it: E.g. my bookmarks are not transferred. What to do?
[03:20] <Delicates> what do you know, it was because slow keys were enabled in Accessibility
[03:20] <Delicates> have to hold down the key for several seconds for a character to appear

[03:34] <Dr_willis> a lot of that stuff is in the severas repos I belive

[03:39] <Dr_willis> odd
[03:41] <Kozzi> suddenly I can't play any sound in Kubuntu
[03:41] <Kozzi> and it only works after rebooting the whole pc
[03:44] <Dr_willis> Kozzi,  i saw a few yrs back a system - If i booted to windows then soft-rebooted to linux. Sound would not work. If i was powered off and went straight to linux it would.
[03:44] <Dr_willis> but thats not your case is it?
[03:45] <bonbonthejon> i have that same problem dr_willis
[03:45] <llp78> Can someone tell me if its possible to change the screen were we type the password to login ? how do I change that?
[03:46] <bonbonthejon> llp78: its called kdm, there is a module for kcontrol you can install
[03:46] <Dr_willis> llp78,  Hmm. kdm uses the default res set in the xorg.conf, you could set the default lower I guess. and let each user tweak their own res setting
[03:46] <Dr_willis> Not sure if kdm can have a lower one set. Let me see
[03:46] <Lynoure> llp78: yes, it is. kdm themes.
[03:46] <bonbonthejon> llp78: search in adept
[03:47] <Lynoure> llp78: oh, you asked about resolution...
[03:47] <llp78> ok thanks all for your help
[03:47] <Kozzi> Dr_willis: last night I put Kubuntu into Hibernation and now I turned it back on
[03:47] <Kozzi> that's when sound stopped to work
[03:47] <Lynoure> never mind my answer then, I thought you wanted to change how it looks in general
[03:47] <Dr_willis> !find kdm
[03:47] <ubotu> Found: kde-kdm-themes, kdmtheme, kdm
[03:48] <Kozzi> right now Amarok is playing but there is no sound :(
[03:48] <Dr_willis> hmm I can see where to set larger fonts. but not chagne the res.
[03:49] <Dr_willis> So the problem is "No Sound after comming out of Hibernation Mode"
[03:50] <bonbonthejon> I think there have been other reports of that, I get most of the launchpad bug reports
[03:50] <Kozzi> actually somtimes after leaving pc on for awhile too

[04:10] <don> I read up on it on the message areas, updated KDE, all that
[04:10] <don> yes, I am new to Linux
[04:11] <Minataku> don: Hm
[04:11] <Minataku> Well, the hardware is okay
[04:11] <don> yes, hm...
[04:11] <kubuntu> First Stop for (K)Ubuntu Help > http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy
[04:12] <Balaams_Miracle> Don, are you using an USB hub?
[04:12] <don> One odd thing... I restarted with a Ubuntu Live CD. it at least saw the Memorex Drive.. although it didn't mount it. it did show in media window
[04:12] <don> No, plugged into front port on the case, tried rear ports also, same thing
[04:13] <don> i don't have a powered hub
[04:14] <Balaams_Miracle> Hm, okay. Then that's not it. The reason i asked is because yesterday i bought me an external (USB) harddisk and it wasn't detected by 'buntu until i connected it directly instead of to my (unpowered) USB hub
[04:14] <kubuntu> don> try reformatting flash drive with windoze and try again
[04:15] <Balaams_Miracle> ...So i figured that perhaps other people with roughly similar problems could be experiencing the same thing
[04:15] <don> so, the format is not a issue?   windows/ext3?
[04:15] <don> an issue...
[04:15] <kubuntu> No make it fat 32
[04:15] <kubuntu> both can read it then
[04:16] <don> OK,  I can try that...   it's a U3 drive, does the U3 stuff matter?
[04:16] <JohnFlux_> actually ext3 is a good choice if you only want to read it from your own windows
[04:16] <don> their site said U3 doesn't run on Linux so it acts like a regulat USB flash drive
[04:16] <JohnFlux_> there are very good windows ext3 drivers you can install trivially
[04:16] <JohnFlux_> hmm no point for a small usb flash drive though
[04:17] <JohnFlux_> but for disks it's worth it
[04:17] <Balaams_Miracle> ext2explorer still works in Windows though
[04:17] <kubuntu> Fat32 works fine for both
[04:17] <don> OK, I'll try that... thanks a lot.....
[04:21] <ctuser> hi folks.
[04:21] <ctuser> i need to restrict this machine to be allowed access to only one website only
[04:21] <ctuser> is this possible?
[04:22] <Balaams_Miracle> I would imagine that installing a firewall and blocking all sites except one could work. Did you try that?
[04:24] <ctuser> i could do
[04:24] <kubuntu> ctuser> Can be done with a router/Firewall or by turning your machine into a Kiosk if its meant to showcase your online store or website
[04:24] <ctuser> what firewall would you recommend?
[04:24] <ctuser> kubuntu: thats exactly what its for
[04:24] <ctuser> all i need is the users to have access to a web browser and a single domain
[04:24] <kubuntu> Search Google for [Linux Kiosk]
[04:25] <Balaams_Miracle> I use Firestarter myself. But you may want to try other packes as well to see which suits you best.
[04:25] <Balaams_Miracle> packes=packages
[04:26] <Balaams_Miracle> But kubuntu's suggestion may even be better, although i have no experience with kiosk mode stuff things....
[04:27] <JohnFlux_> ctuser: or learn iptables.
[04:27] <kubuntu> ctuser> Even Easier - Google: [Firefox in kiosk mode]  for browser controlled access
[04:27] <wers> How do I make KNetworkManager be in automatic configuration mode again?
[04:29] <fdoving> wers: remove all other configurations, for example the device in questions section in /etc/network/interfaces, might be a GUI way to do it too.. though.
[04:30] <mike_> I have problems with my network shares (on Windows via samba). Seems to be related with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/102011/ as I upgraded from Edgy to Feisty
[04:30] <wers> thanks, fdoving, I'll try it
[04:31] <mike_> my Edgy config is identical to Feisty on the other machine, but when trying to mount it just times out after some minutes
[04:33] <mike_> will try to uninstall/install the samba package again. someone else with same experiences ?
[04:33] <ubunturos> anyone using Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> on 6.06?
[04:33] <BluesKaj> mike_,how many pcs on the network ?
[04:34] <Dr_willis> mike_,  i doubt if Uninstalling/reinstalling will do any good.
[04:34] <wers> what's the best substitute for KNetworkManager? It doesn't work with my hardware
[04:34] <mike_> 2 laptops (as clients: one Edgy, one Feisty). And the Win2000 server (and a Linux webserver)
[04:34] <Dr_willis> thats windows thinking. :)
[04:36] <Minataku> !pidgin
[04:36] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[04:36] <ubunturos> anyone using Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> on 6.06?
[04:37] <Minataku> Heya, Dr_willis
[04:37] <Dr_willis> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/5436
[04:38] <Dr_willis> seems to have the procedure to fix samba
[04:38] <Dr_willis> but i dont see how its doing it.
[04:40] <mike_> I will try to dive into that, thanks
[04:40] <BluesKaj> mike_, first of all are you trying to connect to the windows or edgypc when it times out ?
[04:44] <mike_> the edgy and feisty laptops are clients
[04:44] <Minataku> Hey, Dr_willis, I added 7 more screens to http://s95018220.onlinehome.us/random/auximages/ :3
[04:44] <mike_> my shares are on a Win2000 server machine
[04:45] <Dr_willis> mike_,  try the smb4k packatge to browse the shares.
[04:45] <Dr_willis> if the ubuntu box's are clients. Ive not see the samba upgrade issue affect them that way. Just as servers
[04:46] <Minataku> My suggestion, if possible, is to trash the Windows server
[04:47] <Daisuke_Ido> not always a possibility for a home user, but yeah, a dapper server would make life easier
[04:47] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  that your OS9 theme? :)
[04:48] <mike_> I'm in the proces of investigating a reinstall of the W2000 server to Kubuntu
[04:48] <Dr_willis> or was that os1 :)
[04:48] <Minataku> Dr_willis: That's A/UX 3.1.1, remember? :D
[04:48] <Minataku> 04-10 are the most recent additions
[04:48] <Minataku> From after I replaced the PRAM battery
[04:48] <markii> is there a problem with geforce 8 cards?
[04:49] <plb_> anyone play videos from this site in konq http://stage6.divx.com?
[04:49] <plb_> works in firefox

[04:51] <Minataku> No problem
[04:51] <plb_> parla vous francais =P
[04:51] <plb_> or something like that
[04:51] <mike_> i reinstalled samba-common package. dmesg is giving me: smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported
[04:51] <plb_> I remember something from french class =)
[04:52] <Minataku> O.o
[04:52] <Minataku> That looks wrong?
[04:53] <Minataku> Dr_willis: You busy as usual today?
[04:54] <xst> How do I get my microphone to record? Currently I can hear myself just fine, but it is not recording (skype doesn't receive any sound)
[04:58] <Dr_willis> yep at least i dident have to DRIVE 4 hrs to go look at this car..
[04:58] <Dr_willis> getting ready to have a huge storm here also. I gotta go pay a few bills.
[04:58] <Dr_willis> befor it hits

[05:05] <Minataku> Stay safe out there
[05:08] <Darth_Homey> hello peeps
[05:09] <mike_> smb4k installed
[05:09] <mike_> I see the domain name of the server and the server, but when connecting it says:
[05:10] <mike_> Could not connect to server
[05:10] <mike_> the account was disabled
[05:10] <bonbonthejon> mike_: what os is the server?
[05:10] <mike_> NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED
[05:10] <mike_> Win2000 Server edition
[05:10] <mike_> i set up the smbpassword file
[05:11] <bonbonthejon> mike_: on the ubuntu, look for making the default user be guest with no password
[05:12] <mike_> under menu option network i found the authentication
[05:12] <mike_> filled it in and voila !
[05:12] <bonbonthejon> mike_: guest worked?
[05:12] <mike_> i see the shares, but no read write
[05:13] <mike_> I have the credentials in a smbpasswd file but mounting the share with fstab doesnt work
[05:13] <bonbonthejon> the guest trick is something I found when trying to set up a printer shared over samba on KDE
[05:13] <bonbonthejon> mike_: can you mount it by typing in the credentials
[05:14] <mike_> now i get: smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000)
[05:14] <bonbonthejon> do you have smbfs installed
[05:15] <bonbonthejon> and you need to mount with sudo
[05:16] <mike_> yes i do it with sudo
[05:16] <wers> has anyone successfuly synced a pocket pc  with Kubuntu Feisty?
[05:16] <mike_> smbfs is installed
[05:18] <mike_> hmmm, will try some more later :: have to leave ...
[05:24] <greg_g> where are cores dumped to in kubuntu?
[05:24] <greg_g> $ firefox
[05:24] <greg_g> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[05:28] <Daisuke_Ido> darn dirty bad uptime
[05:28] <Daisuke_Ido> finally need to shut down
[05:29] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: usually it's the current working directory, but the system may be set not to dump.
[05:29] <Jucato> Tm_T: ping when you're a bit free later
[05:29] <greg_g> hrm, because I ran that command from my home dir and I can't find anything there
[05:30] <greg_g> and I need to figure out what is going on
[05:30] <greg_g> because not being able to run Firefox and other random programs is not acceptable
[05:30] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: you are experienced at reading core dumps?
[05:31] <greg_g> not much, but it would also be good to supply to someone who is
[05:31] <greg_g> because, otherwise, I only have those 2 lines to give them when I say "Firefox won't load"
[05:33] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: To be honest, it's unlikely to be helpful.
[05:33] <Jucato> !synaptics
[05:33] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[05:33] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Is this firefox installed from apt, or from the mozilla installer?
[05:33] <greg_g> apt
[05:34] <greg_g> and another program is doing the same thing
[05:34] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: kubuntu install or ubuntu upgrade?
[05:34] <greg_g> kubuntu installed on top of ubuntu fiesty
[05:34] <greg_g> VLC player is doing the same thing
[05:35] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Anything else?
[05:35] <greg_g> EasyTag
[05:35] <greg_g> pretty much everything I am trying to load right now
[05:35] <greg_g> K3b loads
[05:36] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Pretty much all non-kde apps, I'd guess.
[05:36] <greg_g> it is looking like it
[05:36] <SlimeyPete> gtk problem, mebbe?
[05:36] <jhutchins_lt> Ja.
[05:36] <greg_g> how can I figure out what is going on?
[05:37] <SlimeyPete> is there a wxvlc package for Ubutu? 'cos I don't think that uses gtk?
[05:37] <SlimeyPete> unless I'm mistaken about what wxwindows is
[05:37] <greg_g> I don't want to install another player, I want to make my programs work again
[05:37] <greg_g> they used to work
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> greg_g: yeah, but if wxvlc works then that'd confirm that it's a gtk issue
[05:38] <Jucato> SlimeyPete: vlc uses wxWidgets. but wxWidgets ues GTK's appearance on Linux
[05:38] <Jucato> (wx uses Windows' appearance on Windows)
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> greg_g: oh wait, it wouldn't, sorry. wx uses gtk
[05:39] <Jucato> but greg_g's problems do make me think it might be a gtk problem...
[05:40] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: you installed kubuntu-desktop, right?  Or just kde?
[05:40] <greg_g> kubuntu-desktop
[05:41] <greg_g> is there a history of installed apps from apt listed by time/date??
[05:41] <OlliK> aziz_
[05:41] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Try sudo apt-get -f install
[05:42] <Jucato> greg_g: /var/log/dpkg.log and similar
[05:42] <greg_g> jhutchins_lt: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[05:43] <jhutchins_lt> Oh well, worth a shot.
[05:44] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: The only thing I know for certain that will fix it would be to do a clean reinstall of kubuntu.
[05:44] <mjtunes> ello
[05:44] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Does everything run ok in gnome?
[05:44] <greg_g> jhutchins_lt: haven't tried
[05:44] <greg_g> I'll be back
[05:48] <sparr> can anyone recommend an ftp client that can upload an entire directory structure and NOT bail out on the first error?  i need it to reconnect on disconnects, and only use a single connection.
[05:49] <greg_g> things seem to be working in gnome
[05:49] <greg_g> of course though, the problem only manifested itself in kde after a while
[05:53] <greg_g> anyone still around?
[05:55] <mallize> anyone know of a decent visio viewer for linux?
[05:57] <MegaVolt> hi, im having a problem updating kubuntu
[05:57] <MegaVolt> http://rafb.net/p/yPHnrd34.html
[05:57] <MegaVolt> dpkg seems to think the vmlinuz image should be on the boot partition but it isnt ...
[05:57] <MegaVolt> so it wont update the kernel
[05:59] <JuJuBee> I have a laptop with ATI Mobility 960 video, do I have to install teh drivers for ATI to use the external monitor (mirror)?
[06:00] <greg_g> jhutchins_lt: are you still around?
[06:01] <soopafai> JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install fglrx ( thats the proprietary ati graphics driver )
[06:01] <JuJuBee> The built in features under Monitors & Display doesnt work then?
[06:05] <JuJuBee> Extrapan: Couldn't find package fglrx
[06:06] <ardchoille> !fglrx
[06:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:06] <ardchoille> !info fglrx
[06:06] <ubotu> Package fglrx does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:07] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: Yo.
[06:08] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: So I don't know what to tell you, obviously some of the gnome-gtk/kde compatibility stuff is b0rked.  I had a similar problem with Mandriva that just eventually worked it's way out in the course of upgrades.  I switched from xchat to konversation, which I like better, and just didn't use the problem apps, found better ones.
[06:09] <jhutchins_lt> greg_g: I'm sure you could expend a lot of time and effort trying to get the right stuff reinstalled or reconfigured.
[06:12] <JuJuBee> Where is the Restricted Drivers Manager in kde?
[06:12] <Jucato> nowhere
[06:12] <Jucato> there's none yet for Kubuntu
[06:13] <JuJuBee> So how do I install ati drivers in kubuntu?  go to ATI and get them?
[06:13] <Jucato> um... no...
[06:13] <jhutchins_lt> !ati | JuJuBee
[06:13] <ubotu> JuJuBee: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:13] <Jucato> the restricted manager doesn't even get it from ATI. it just installs the one in the repos
[06:13] <MegaVolt> JuJuBee: use apt-get / aptitude
[06:14] <JuJuBee> According to that article I am supposed to open... "System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager" which is a gnome menu.
[06:15] <JuJuBee> Or should I follow the Edgy directions.
[06:15] <Jucato> JuJuBee: yes. because it's only available in Ubuntu now. on Kubuntu, you just install the necessary packages. that's all
[06:15] <Jucato> yes.
[06:15] <JuJuBee> OK.
[06:15] <MegaVolt> JuJuBee: read the console based part of the howto

[06:33] <voicu> it screws up when i work with cds with non-kde applications
[06:34] <voicu> there is a setting i disabled that says it does just that but i still get that dialog about what i want to do about a new medium
[06:34] <voicu> and i don't like it, it reminds me of windows

[06:37] <mpmc> >.<
[06:37] <icecruncher> lol
[06:38] <mpmc> Seriously not funny.
[06:38] <ubuntu_> so how do i install vista on linux?
[06:38] <icecruncher> mpmc: sorry
[06:38] <ubuntu__> ubuntu_:with great regret
[06:38] <BluesKaj> with VMWare
[06:39] <ubuntu_> oh ok
[06:39] <ubuntu_> !uboto brain mpmc
[06:39] <BluesKaj> or some other virtual OS client
[06:39] <ubuntu_> xen?
[06:40] <BluesKaj> qemu, virtual box
[06:40] <ubuntu_> can i run osx on qemu also?
[06:41] <BluesKaj> never had much luck with them myself ...always a bug some where in my experience , so I just dualboot
[06:41] <ubuntu_> oh ok
[06:41] <ubuntu_> i was thinking about getting a mac for osx but i heard osx has no beryl
[06:41] <BluesKaj> ubuntu_:  go ggogle it and find out ...these are elementary questions that you can find there
[06:41] <icecruncher> though I heard that it was pretty much impossible to dualboot with vista, something with their boot loader
[06:41] <icecruncher> not 100% sure though
[06:42] <ubuntu_> BluesKaj:  i know but the reason why i dont go to google is that if i use google i can get virri
[06:42] <JuJuBee> Jucato : I only have 640x480 when I select clone for second screen.  Also only have refresh rate of 60 now... Used to have up to 85
[06:42] <ubuntu_> and besides google isnt the only webcrawler
[06:43] <ubuntu_> its very dangerous to apply this fiction of one source for all information
[06:43] <icecruncher> :)
[06:43] <BluesKaj> well whatever search engine suits yer needs ... some ppl are here to ask about kubuntu not mac or windows
[06:43] <ubuntu_> google isnt safe to use
[06:43] <ubuntu_> they collect data on people
[06:44] <ubuntu_> and sell it to make adds or even worse to the gov.

[06:49] <ubuntu_> you are a bit slow
[06:49] <ubuntu_> its like that movie office space with the memo
[06:49] <ubuntu_> and 5 or 6 supervisors
[06:49] <nik0_> ok i repeat me hihih just want to know a command or a direction to add a device like the wireless card i do some experiences like usual
[06:49] <icecruncher> tracy_: what is it?
[06:50] <Delicates> when I plug in a USB HD, KDE detects it and asks what to do with it, selecting "Open" doesn't do anything. udevd is running, hald is running. Any ideas on what's wrong?
[06:51] <Dr_willis> is this a NTFS formated HD?
[06:51] <nik0_> toc toc toc!
[06:51] <Delicates> Storage Media applet does not react either, I don't even get an icon
[06:51] <Delicates> Dr_willis: yes
[06:51] <tracy_> icecruncher: an X benchmark
[06:51] <Dr_willis> its proberly getting mounted with the wrong permissions, so only root can access it.
[06:51] <Dr_willis> also check 'media:/' not /media in konqueror.
[06:52] <Dr_willis> check the 'mount' command also - to verify its mounted
[06:52] <Delicates> Dr_willis: it doesn't get mounted at all
[06:52] <ubuntu_> how do i uninstall kde i want to try gnome?
[06:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  theres no need to Uninstall it. Install the ubuntu-desktop package and try gnome, then stiwch to kde/gnome on the login screen as needed
