[01:18] <rick_h__> jcastro: that's ok, it'll snow this weekend just because it can
[01:18] <rick_h__> ok, so not snow...but more typical late fall stuff
[02:36] <jrwren> global warming!
[05:30] <greg-g> global weirding
[12:00] <cmaloney> greg-g: Will check it out
[12:01] <cmaloney> unrelated: Good morning
[12:18] <rick_h__> morning
[14:02] <_stink_> yo
[14:26] <brousch> Oh sure, my new job starts in 12 days and now rick_h__  wants Python devs ;)
[14:30] <jrwren> brousch: its a SWEET project too.
[14:30] <jrwren> brousch: its almost one of those once in a lifetime opportunities to be part of something special.
[14:30] <jrwren> almost... :p
[14:31] <brousch> Ah well, after a few years at this new job I'll be a whole new level of developer
[14:32] <brousch> Working with a team of devs better than I am
[14:34] <jrwren> brousch: I hear that.

[18:09] <jrwren> greg-g: alan shore your schadenfreude
[18:11] <jrwren> "Shadenfreude. From the German words, Schaden and Freude, damage and joy. It means to take spiteful, malicious delight in the misfortune of others. We used to dismiss this as simply an ugly side of human nature, but it is much much more than that.  It's a physiological medical phenomenon. When we see others fall it sometimes
[18:11] <jrwren>  causes a chemical to be released in the dorsal striatum of the brain which actually causes us to feel pleasure. If you watch the news or read the papers, which of course you don't because the Judge said not to, but if you did, you would see the undeniable delicious joy of the media and the public over Kelly Nolan's plight. I have no doubt that you want Kelly Nolan to be punished. She married for mone
[18:11] <jrwren> y, she had an affair, she carried on naked in the pool with her boyfriend.  But as for evidence to establish that she committed a murder beyond all reasonable doubt? It just isn't there. The only possible route to a guilty verdict here is Schadenfreude. "
[18:12] <jrwren> oops
[18:13] <cmaloney> What the hell was that? :)
[18:13] <jrwren> alan shore on schadenfreude
[18:13] <jrwren> greg-g was making fun of my comcast.
[18:13] <greg-g> :)
[18:14] <greg-g> enjoy your data caps

[18:14] <greg-g> I saw it coming and switch a while ago
[18:14] <cmaloney> Hey, you can pay $35 for unlimited
[18:14] <cmaloney> and then another for unlimited unlimited
[18:14] <jrwren> I'm going to switch to business class
[18:14] <greg-g> plus, sonic.net is rolling out FTTH in my area, the more people with their DSL service the more likely that area gets FTTH
[18:15] <cmaloney> I'm sure you'll be able to bundle your unlimiteds together
[18:15] <greg-g> "Get all 3 Unlimiteds for just $199 extra per month!"
 I got my first CherryMX KB yesterday. They are reds.
[19:00] <jrwren> They are not as clicky as the ALPS that I'm used to.
[19:00] <jrwren> I still like it, but not as much as I thought I would.
[19:01] <rick_h__> booo reds
[19:01] <rick_h__> clear are my fav atm
[19:02] <rick_h__> jrwren: let's trade my shirts for a keyboard with clears at chc :)
[19:04] <cmaloney> heh
[19:10] <jrwren> rick_h__: that is doable. What time are you going to be out there?
[19:14] <rick_h__> jrwren: 8pm
[19:15] <cscheib> I got a Razer keyboard that has the equivalent of I think Browns in it... I quite like it
[19:16] <jrwren> rick_h__: i'll probably be able to make it by 9ish.
[19:21] <cmaloney> jrwren: Doubly awesome
[19:46] <brousch> One of the guys at work came across this Modustri (my new job) article in a business magazine http://mibiz.com/item/23016-modustri%E2%80%99s-capital-raise-leads-to-partnership-with-caterpillar . Now I'm  getting ribbed for being "top-tier talent"
[19:47] <_stink_> better start wearing a suit
[19:47] <brousch> No way. You see what CEO is wearing?
[19:48] <brousch> No more khakis for me!
[19:49] <jrwren> brousch: not sure if that counts as getting ribbed.
[19:49] <jrwren> brousch: its like trying to rib michael jordan for being the best ever. :p
[19:49] <brousch> It's all in how you say it
[19:51] <_stink_> "oooOOOOOhhh brousch, look, your new place only hires TOP TIER TALENT, ehhhhHH??"
[19:51] <_stink_> like that?
[19:52] <brousch> See, _stink_ understands
[19:57] <jrwren> oh brousch... you are actually trying to better yourself.
[19:57] <jrwren> oh no!
[19:58] <jrwren> whoever is ribbing you sounds like the kind of person who would tease and alcolholic for not drinking, or another addict for not smoking crack.
[20:00] <brousch> Very likely
[20:31] <cmaloney> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Jos%C3%A9Cazalon/posts <- Wants to join CHC community
[20:31] <cmaloney> Am thinking he's not serious.

[17:04] <sigma_> how do i install all the deb files in a folder with dpkg -i?
[17:05] <Kuwanger> sigma_: for f in *.deb; do dpkg -i "$f"; done ?
[17:05] <sigma_> nixternal: close but not there yet:) the apps kind of work but the desktop has huge dependency problems, good try though, now i see why its taking you so long
[17:09] <sigma_> Kuwanger: do I need the $ sign?
[17:09] <CPrgmSwR2> dru: I may have resolved the issue
[17:09] <Kuwanger> sigma_: Yea.
[17:09] <Kuwanger> sigma_: I don't know dpkg's format for -i, though.
[17:10] <Kuwanger> sigma_: Looking at man dpkg, it'd seem "dpkg -i *.deb" would work.
[17:10] <sigma_> Kuwanger: say i want to install all the packages in /home/sigma/package what would the command be?
[17:10] <Kuwanger> sigma_: I think, "dpkg -i /home/sigma/package/*.deb"
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> is it possible to have the terminal show *s when I type my passowrd to authorise gksudo / sudo commands
[17:12] <sigma_> Kuwanger: thanks it worked, i need to make a note of that command
[17:14] <nixternal> sigma_: the reason it is broke is because it isn't complete
[17:14] <nixternal> working on dep issues, which I don't see now when I update
[17:16] <haryono> Any one can help me fix my problem?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> haryono: what is it?
[17:18] <haryono> Action I want a simple guide to run my Zc0301 webcam driver in kubuntu
[17:18] <mrksbrd> !webcam
[17:18] <nubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[17:19] <mrksbrd> haryono there u go try those 2 links
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> haryono: http://blog.myfenris.net/?p=377
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> haryono: its a simple module install
[17:20] <haryono> Action thanks action Itry
[17:21] <sigma__> nixternal: sorry there i got disconnected. so when are you expecting to release it, also i didnt see kontact in that ppa, will it be in the repo?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> haryono: try tab autocompleting names dude ;)
[17:22] <nixternal> sigma__: hopefully within the next day or so...there are just so many changes between 4.0.x and 4.0.80 that getting them completed quickly is impossible
[17:22] <nixternal> as for the apps such as kdepim, you won't see those until I have the kdebase* stuff straightened out
[17:22] <nixternal> I am not to worried about applications right now
[17:23] <sigma__> nixternal: maybe i should just wait for the final one, the beta sounds really dodgy! i thought it would just build on the 4.0.x series
[17:24] <sigma__> is there any standalone program that i can use on windows to download deb files from a repo that I can later install on my pc?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> sigma__: you could download it with your browser,just browse to the location, right click and save the file
[17:26] <nixternal> sigma__: would be impossible to build totally on the 4.0.x series because of the major api changes...plus merging between the 4.0.4 and the intrepid 4.0.80 packages take a bit of work
[17:27] <sigma__> ActionParsnip: not when you're downloading about 100 debs!
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> sigma__: download the folder too then, why cant you do it from the intended system?
[17:28] <NickPresta> sigma__, you can use Firefox and a download manager (like Download Them All) to select all debs on the page for download
[17:28] <sigma__> nixternal: fair enough, guess i should just wait for the final release, tell me something - how do bug fixes in the 4.0.x series get carried over to 4.1?
[17:29] <sigma__> Nickpresta: yeah but they arent in one folder in the ppa
[17:29] <nixternal> sigma__: depends on if the bug is still present in 4.1
[17:30] <LolKitteh_> hi guys, I'm trying to install 8.04, could you please tell me what is the min space required? I'm doing install using manual partitioning, not asked what I want to install
[17:30] <nixternal> when I go through the bugs on LP for KDE 4 packages, I see if I can reproduce in my trunk build...if I can't reproduce or find the bug upstream, I note that in the report that is is possibly already fixed upstream, and then keep an eye on it
[17:30] <NickPresta> sigma__, ah. You could use wget. something like: wget -r --accept=deb /path/to/ppa
[17:31] <sigma__> nixternal: interesting, always wondered how it worked
[17:32] <sigma__> NickPresta: wget on windows?
[17:32] <sigma__> ah crap its back to kde, it looks so ugly coming from kde4
[17:33] <NickPresta> sigma__, http://www.christopherlewis.com/WGet/WGetFiles.htm
[17:35] <LolKitteh_> looks like I'm back on trying to find my answer on google then
[17:35] <sigma__> NickPresta: thanks, that should work, at least i hope it does
[17:35] <RurouniJones> LolKitteh_: Need more details
[17:36] <RurouniJones> What are you installing, just the base? commandline? Full install with loads of applications
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> LolKitteh_: it depends on your needs
[17:36] <LolKitteh_> sure, thanks for taking the time RurouniJones
[17:36] <cpk1> LolKitteh_: there are about 4 different 8.04 installs you could be doing
[17:36] <LolKitteh_> I know it's not with kde4
[17:36] <mrksbrd> Lolkitteh: goto have 976 for swap partition and about 1.5 for the ext 3 partition, but if u want to have any storage I would have @ least 10 gb set for the ext partition
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> LolKitteh_: if its a basic dektop use (we / chat) rig then about 4Gb for / is enough
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> LolKitteh_: whats the system gonna be usd for
[17:38] <LolKitteh_> I'm just asking how much is needed for default install - I've got 5Gb and Kubuntu install is telling me that I don't have enough space on that partition
[17:38] <LolKitteh_> (it had kubuntu from last year on it so far)
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> LolKitteh_: is the partition empty?
[17:38] <cpk1> LolKitteh_: I have a server install running off a 3 gig hard drive
[17:39] <LolKitteh_> ok thanks ActionParsnip cpk1 I'm going to make sure it's cleaned up
[17:39] <LolKitteh_> many thanks, just wanted to know that it's an issue on my side, and not because KUb needs more
[17:39] <cpk1> LolKitteh_: could always try installing from the server cd and then adding kubuntu?
[17:40] <LolKitteh_> I'm using desktop version though, does this still stand? kubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso
[17:40] <Maska> hello, i am configuring KPF (KDE Personal File Server) with my router and Dyndns i need someone to test my adress and tell me if it's work form the outside
[17:40] <NickPresta> Maska, okay.
[17:40] <Maska> ok thank you  :)  http://maska.dontexist.com:8001/
[17:41] <NickPresta> Appears to work for me. Congratulations :)
[17:41] <LolKitteh_> Thank you guys, I'm going to check that the partition gets reformated - let's hope it's just that. :-)
[17:41] <RurouniJones> LolKitteh_: The desktop install needs about 4GB, the server install needs about 1 GB
[17:41] <Maska> NickPresta: ahhh great after 24h of configuration ^___^! thx
[17:41] <RurouniJones> minimum
[17:42] <LolKitteh_> ok, thank you very much RurouniJones - I may be in trouble then - may have to rearrange my drive
[17:44] <RurouniJones> I think you can pare the install down to 2 gigs
[17:44] <RurouniJones> But I am running off numbers on the ubuntu site so I am not 10% sure personally
[17:48] <jaakkome> ugh, can somebody help me with the wlan on my laptop?
[17:48] <jaakkome> it's not working and I don't know where to start trying to fix it .)
[17:49] <jaakkome> My wireless on this desktop works fine though
[17:52] <jaakkome> I cannot enable the wlan0 interface from the KDE control module

[17:58] <thisisprateek> whenever windows gets a sucky bad shutdown (courtesy: BSOD), kubuntu unmounts all partitons..i have to type commands each time..its tedious..how can i edit fstab(or anythin else) to get that ri8
[17:59] <Pennycook> thisisprateek: There's a "force" option you can add to your fstab for NTFS partitions.
[17:59] <thisisprateek> ya..how..
[17:59] <thisisprateek> lemme use paste thing and u give it back to me..ok?
[17:59] <NickPresta> thisisprateek, you could also just use `sudo mount -a`
[18:00] <thisisprateek> NickPresta: wot
[18:00] <Pennycook> thisisprateek: I actually have to run, but if you've got something that looks like "ntfs-3g defaults" in your fstab, just add force like so: "ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0"
[18:00] <thisisprateek> NickPresta: just sudo mount-a?

[18:12] <PeaceMakrick> hi folks, has any of you managed to identify properly on dalnet, using konversation?
[18:13] <Daisuke_Laptop> dalnet still exists?
[18:13] <PeaceMakrick> yep barely
[18:14] <Daisuke_Laptop> i don't know how it works these days, but they used to require /msg<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for registration and identification, which i don't think konversation does
[18:14] <Daisuke_Laptop> it uses the nickserv alone
[18:14] <PeaceMakrick> nickserv is not reco/say goodnight folks, God blessized
[18:15] <PeaceMakrick> sheesh
[18:15] <sigma_1234> nixternal: what packages did you change to make it work? i got most of it installed. just two things are down. kdm kde4 and kde4 workspace i think it was
[18:16] <opsidao> hi there, anybody knows if there is any repository to install the qt4.4 lib (with dev package) on hardy?
[18:16] <sigma_1234> nixternal: but dam it sure is stable and quicker. id love to see how my dell handles it. took 4.0.3 but not without a bit of lagging
[18:17] <opsidao> i just found the lib on project neon and it doesn't include the headers
[18:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> opsidao: amarok nightlies?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> booya
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> my system is perfect!!
[18:17] <opsidao> Daisuke_Laptop: as I said they don't include the headers, just the dynamic librarie
[18:17] <opsidao> s
[18:18] <opsidao> and only part of it
[18:19] <crackaddict> can any one help me in patching wine
[18:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> opsidao: yep, i'm not too impressed with the way they have it packaged
[18:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> crackaddict: try #winehq
[18:19] <crackaddict> thanks
[18:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> you're welcome
[18:19] <opsidao> Daisuke_Laptop: thanks anyway ;)
[18:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> they're far more knowledgable on the subject
[18:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> opsidao: the amarok-nightly-qt package irks me the most - 64mb or what are probably duplicated libraries

[18:49] <greg_> they're in preparation right?
[18:49] <darrick> how can i configure grub to automaticaly start windows vistaÉ (i have a dual boot of vista, installed first, and then kubuntu)
[18:49] <darrick> damnit still no slashes only éé and no question marks only ÉÉÉ anyways about grub...
[18:50] <Agent_bob> darrick put an entry "default=#" where # is the listing for the os you want to default to.  and an entry "timeout=#" where # is the number of seconds; in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:51] <Agent_bob> darrick grub counts listings.  0,1,2...
[18:51] <pim> kate /boot/grub/menu.lst should open it.
[18:51] <Agent_bob> kdesudo kate   ^
[18:51] <darrick> if i put 0 for time will it automaticaly start vistaÉ
[18:51] <Agent_bob> it will need root perms
[18:52] <Agent_bob> darrick yes
[18:52] <darrick> ok ill restart and try this... but first i need a pen and paper to write those down
[18:52] <Agent_bob> darrick but may i sujest you use 1 rather than 0   because if you should ever need to edit the startup you will need a second to hit [esc] in...
[18:53] <Agent_bob> and one second delay is not much.
[18:53] <Daisuke_Laptop> Agent_bob: it can be done with 0, but it's tricky :)
[18:53] <darrick> hmm ok i was gunna put 5... but i was only curios how 0 would work
[18:53] <Agent_bob> Daisuke_Laptop yes.  but i'm not going to try to explain that.   you can.
[18:53] <Daisuke_Laptop> (that's how i set up my father-in-law's laptop - boot to xp, with kubuntu on another partition
[18:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> not exactly tricky, just requires good reflexes
[18:54] <Agent_bob> VERY good reflexes
[18:54] <darrick> my setup is 3 partitions, one with vista, one with my movie collection, and one with kubuntu
[18:56] <darrick> actualy before i skrew with anythink, im sure i would be alot happier with kubuntu if i learned how to instal programs...
[18:56] <Agent_bob> some bios' clear the keyboard buffer just befor starting the boot process, on which you must press [esc] between bios post and the grub readin.   less than one tenth of a second. in most cases
[18:56] <darrick> wow i could do it on my 3rd try
[18:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> !repos > darrick
[18:57] <Agent_bob> anyway that's why i sujest a one second window of opertunity.
[18:57] <Daisuke_Laptop> hmm
[18:57] <Daisuke_Laptop> no bot?
[18:58] <Agent_bob> yeah the bot's been blinky the last few days.
[18:59] <rysiek|pl> guys, why some packets are visible in Add/Remove, and some aren't?

[19:08] <Bastu> Hey guys I just installed kubuntu (KDE4) on my server and i want to login remotely. I set up the server to automaticly login to the x session but now it does not work. I can login through SSH. Is there anyway for me to log on to the x session and then let it start the vncserver(that should start automaticly) so that i can fix the things i need to do
[19:16] <Freddy2> Bastu: you can only start the vncserver, without the local sesion logged in
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> you could ssh in, start the service, then vnc in
[19:17] <Freddy2> by doing it this way you'll also waste less resources
[19:17] <Bastu> Freddy2: not quite sure i follow you, I have tried to start a vnc4server and login with ***.***.***.***:1:5900 but that only gives a shell and something with a clipboard
[19:18] <Freddy2> you'll need to launch the window manager inside this session
[19:18] <Bastu> if i try to login with *:0:5900 then it does not work.. it worked before i had to reboot
[19:18] <Bastu> ok, how do i do that?
[19:19] <Freddy2> edit $HOME/.vnc/xstartup
[19:20] <Bastu> i have seen that file.. so i should edit it how... it does not seem to have that many options in it
[19:20] <Freddy2> anyway, i'd suggest you to use NX instead of VNC if you're outside of a "really controlled network"
[19:20] <|TMI_Toad> how do i convert a m4a to mp3?  i tried using vlc since i was sucessful doing that in windows, but it transcode to mp3, but it did convert it to wav
[19:20] <Freddy2> Bastu: i think the server is kde-based, right?
[19:20] <Bastu> yes
[19:20] <Bastu> KDE4
[19:21] <Bastu> the simplest thing would be to fix the automatic login i think
[19:21] <Bastu> or to get the session to login and start its vncprocess
[19:21] <Freddy2> probably you'll need to set there the SESSION_MANAGER, and then launch startkde4 (i think that's the right name)
[19:22] <Freddy2> no, it creates "another" session, so the problem keeps there if you don't fix this file
[19:22] <Bastu> 1 sec.. gotta look at the file
[19:22] <Freddy2> that's what i was talking about.. by doing this way you will have an useless kde session running in this machine
[19:22] <Bastu> are we still talking about the xstartup file?
[19:23] <Freddy2> sure
[19:23] <Bastu> but that does not really matter.. i can just restart the comp after i fixxed the automatic login
[19:23] <q4a> hi all, how can i print booklet?
[19:23] <Bastu> is it ok if i priv you how the file looks like?
[19:24] <Freddy2> and i repeat: your local session will then create a "new" session when running vncserver
[19:24] <Freddy2> you will have 2, and you will only be able to connect with the vnc one
[19:25] <Freddy2> but if you want this..
[19:25] <Bastu> whats the better alternative?
[19:25] <Bastu> the other sessions does not login like it should
[19:25] <Bastu> session
[19:25] <Freddy2> no auto login.. simply fix xstartup
[19:26] <Bastu> i privved you how the file looks like
[19:26] <Bastu> what needs to be changed so that the session works?
[19:32] <jaakkome> I installed ndiswrapper and now there's a "harware devide manager" thing in my system tray that I cannot shut down and which keeps opening this window every 5 seconds
[19:32] <pim_> press ctrl+esc
[19:32] <pim_> and kill it
[19:33] <jaakkome> which one is it?
[19:33] <pim_> I don't know
[19:33] <jaakkome> jocket-kde?
[19:33] <pim_> I guess it's called hardware device manager or something similar
[19:41] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to have a seperate taskbar on the bottom and the launcher at the top of the screen in kde 4?
[19:41] <NickPresta> b4l74z4r, ask in #kubuntu-kde4
[19:42] <b4l74z4r> ok, thanks
[19:42] <rsc-232> anyone here using mythtv?
[19:44] <q4a> hi all, how can i print booklet?\
[19:55] <jptet6818> Hi, not sure about where to ask about kernel / module build / install, can I ask it here?

[20:07] <phoenixz> I just did an update on 8.04 and mysql-client (and so also server) breaks :(  dpgk --configure -a gives me mysql-client-5.0 depends on libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1); however: Version of libmysqlclient15off on system is 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5... I NEED mysql on my machine!! How can I fix this!?
[20:08] <NickPresta> phoenixz, what happens when you do: apt-get -f install
[20:09] <phoenixz> NickPresta> trying..
[20:09] <mehmet> i need help
[20:09] <NickPresta> mehmet, with what?
[20:10] <mehmet> i have wireless pcmia usr 5411
[20:10] <mehmet> and standard web cam
[20:10] <mehmet> but i cant install
[20:11] <mehmet> i used ndiswrapper but it is saying wrong .inf file for wireless
[20:11] <mehmet> where can i find the .inf file for usr5411
[20:11] <NickPresta> mehmet, sorry. I'm not really experienced with wireless. I would start at the wifi docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs)
[20:12] <phoenixz> NickPresta>  http://rafb.net/p/NuIRY924.html
[20:12] <mehmet> and how can i install webcam
[20:12] <phoenixz> apt-get install -f install also fails
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> mehmet: what make / model is the cam?
[20:13] <trenton> hello. Does anyone know where package updates are stored localy? I'd like to clone my system without dl'ding all the updates again.

[20:14] <hasan> hi guys
[20:14] <hasan> what's the emule alternative in kubuntu ?
[20:14] <hasan> kde based
[20:15] <cpk1> ktorrent
[20:15] <NickPresta> phoenixz, first, do: sudo apt-get autoremove. After those packages are removed, try uninstalling mysql (and libmysqlclient15off). Then once apt reports no problems (do a sudo apt-get -f install) you can try reinstalling mysql and see what happens
[20:15] <hasan> i remember something like emule
[20:15] <hasan> but i  dont remember its name
[20:15] <hasan> similar to emule
[20:15] <NickPresta> There is amule
[20:15] <NickPresta> !info amule > hasan
[20:15] <nubotu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[20:16] <cpk1> trenton: /var/cache/apt/archives
[20:16] <NickPresta> darn. hasan there should be the amule package.
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> mehmet: can we have a patebin of lsusb please
[20:17] <hasan> NickPresta: it was not amule
[20:17] <hasan> NickPresta: something starting with letter k...
[20:18] <hasan> ive got a problem with kTorrent
[20:19] <phoenixz> NickPresta> thanks, I'll try!
[20:19] <hasan> it's that status is always stalled
[20:19] <hasan> how can i make it start ?
[20:19] <hasan> what may be the possible problem ?
[20:19] <hasan> i have a freshly installed kubuntu hardy
[20:19] <phoenixz> NickPresta> how should I remove the package, apt_get remove or apt-get purge?
[20:19] <NickPresta> hasan, there could be a problem with the torrent itself (no seeders) or you could have ports blocked and KTorrent can't find a connection
[20:20] <NickPresta> phoenixz, just remove is fine. I assume you want to keep your config files and such
[20:20] <trenton> cpk1:thanks!!!
[20:20] <cpk1> kmldonkey hasan?
[20:20] <hasan> yep
[20:20] <hasan> thx
[20:21] <hasan> a lot
[20:21] <phoenixz> NickPresta> true.. I'd also like to remove the package from cache.. Since I see this weird error when it tries to work on the package, I'd prefer that it would re-download it.. How do I do that?
[20:21] <hasan> NickPresta: how can i open port is there a document for that ?
[20:21] <NickPresta> phoenixz, apt-get autoclean
[20:22] <NickPresta> phoenixz, apt-get clean
[20:23] <phoenixz> NickPresta> The autoremove fails too :( Plus, when trying to remove libmysqlclient15off, it tries to remove a sh@#tload of other packages that depend on it, which I DON'T want to remove.. how can I fix this?
[20:23] <NickPresta> hasan, http://portforward.com/ that will help forward ports on your router. KTorrent has a section in the options to select which port you want to use.
[20:24] <NickPresta> phoenixz, does mysql function right now?
[20:24] <phoenixz> NickPresta> nope, because its still not installed :)
[20:25] <phoenixz> the autoremove already failed so.
[20:25] <NickPresta> phoenixz, oh. it wasn't installed previously?
[20:25] <phoenixz> NickPresta> it was.. but I did an update, which failed, left them broken and after that, it showed as not being installed at all
[20:26] <NickPresta> phoenixz, I'm not sure what to do about this dependency issue. You can try filing a bug report where you could get more help (if it is indeed a bug) or you can wait a couple of days and hope that a new update comes out which fixes the dependency issue.
[20:27] <phoenixz> NickPresta> I don't like this message during auto remove: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0')
[20:27] <phoenixz> I moved that file out of the way, just to try, gives me the same error
[20:28] <phoenixz> NickPresta> I can't wait a few days for mysql :(
[20:28] <NickPresta> phoenixz, do you have a /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0?
[20:31] <NickPresta> phoenixz, and apt-get clean doesn't finish?
[20:35] <phoenixz> NickPresta> yeah, I have one.. moved it out of the way, but no difference..
[20:36]  * dru needs a good virtual desktop
[20:36] <phoenixz> NickPresta> apt-get clean finishes okay
[20:37] <phoenixz> NickPresta> autoclean now also finishes okay
[20:37] <dru> anyone know of a good virtual desktop ?
[20:37] <hasan> how can i find out where mldonkey core is stored ?
[20:37] <hasan> im a newbie kubuntu user
[20:37] <phoenixz> NickPresta> trying apt-get -f install
[20:37] <corinth> dru: You mean a program to run virtual machines?
[20:37] <emilsedgh> dru: sorry?
[20:37] <dru> uhhh yeah
[20:37] <STSX> Anybody know if there is some sort of power management configuration in "KDE System Settings"?
[20:37] <corinth> Use VirtualBox, it's awesome.
[20:38] <dru> i need to install a slax version to do some reaserch
[20:38] <dru> corinth: is that available via apt?
[20:38] <dru> VirtualBox$
[20:39] <corinth> dru: You can grab a deb for whatever Ubuntu version you have at http://www.virtualbox.org/
[20:40] <dru> thanks corinth, ;)
[20:40] <NekosolTeraDyne> Um... "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" works as well.
[20:40] <dru> hmm i dont seem to have it in my lists
[20:40] <NekosolTeraDyne> Hmm...
[20:41] <NekosolTeraDyne> !info virtualbox
[20:41] <nubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about info virtualbox, try looking on http://stdin.me.uk/bot/factoids.cgi
[20:41] <NekosolTeraDyne> O_o; no info trigger with this one?
[20:41] <NekosolTeraDyne> !virtualbox

[20:42] <dru>  You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[20:42] <dru> gar
[20:42] <dru> ;p
[20:45] <corinth> NekosolTeraDyne: Yes, sudo apt-get install virtualbox works as well, but only if you want the OSE version, with no USB support.
[20:47] <NekosolTeraDyne> Well, that's true. I really haven't had a need for USB support yet, though.
[20:48] <dru> its just for a bit of reasearch coping rpms converting them to debs with *alien  and then yeah ....removing the extra junk
[20:48] <corinth> For some reason, SMPlayer compiles with QT4 instead of 3 for me, know how to fix that?
[20:51] <crs> corinth: ./configure --help?
[20:51] <phoenixz> NickPresta> mysql is working again.. :) thanks!!
[20:53] <corinth> Sorry crs, should have been more clear. I'm using the version in the repos.
[20:53] <corinth> I'm not compiling it myself. Going to try that now.
[20:53] <crs> corinth: how do you compiling it?
[20:54] <NickPresta> phoenixz, congrats :)
[20:56] <dru> while apt-get install virtualbox returns "good" i recieve an erorr :  * No suitable module for running kernel found ....whats missing
[20:58] <jhutchins> automatic dependency handling.  bad packaging.
[20:59] <dru> i get the same with aptitude
[20:59] <jhutchins> dru: Have you updated the sytem?
[21:00] <dru> not since the last apt-get
[21:00] <jhutchins> dru: you may need to update the kernel, or it's possible you're running a kernel that doesn't have virtualbox support.
[21:01] <jhutchins> Did you read the setup details page above?
[21:01] <dru> i found this ...http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/12/how-to-install-virtualbox-open-source-edition-on-ubuntu-710/
[21:02] <jhutchins> dru also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[21:04] <dru> jhutchins thanks man ....i followed it ...works nice (looks atleast for the moment)

[21:11] <Goliath23> hi
[21:12] <Goliath23> are there already any repos for kde 4.1?
[21:13] <kuroryuu> Goliath23: still in the works
[21:13] <Goliath23> kuroryuu: okay
[21:13] <Goliath23> 4.1 runs pretty good for me
[21:16] <simon__> hello
[21:16] <kuroryuu> simon__: hi
[21:16] <simon__> how can I change the display resulution?
[21:17] <emilsedgh> simon__: System Setting->Display
[21:19] <simon__> I must be stupid. I can only choose 800x600 or 640x480. and it doesn't show any effect!
[21:19] <asobiCrash> what's command to format?
[21:19] <crs> asobi: format what? filesystem?
[21:19] <asobi> yea
[21:19] <asobi> external hdd
[21:19] <crs> asobi: mkfs.<tab>
[21:20] <asobi> tab?
[21:20] <simon__> my display is now pretty unusable.
[21:20] <crs> asobi: what file system do you want to create?
[21:20] <asobi> ext3
[21:20] <crs> asobi: mkfs.ext3
[21:20] <simon__> do I have to edit the xorg.conf?
[21:20] <asobi> actually, walk me through the steps
[21:20] <kuroryuu> simon__: possibly
[21:20] <emilsedgh> simon__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[21:20] <asobi> i plug it in, format it, edit fstab, then mount?
[21:21] <crs> asobi: yes
[21:21] <emilsedgh> simon__: run that command and follow the wizard.its pretty simple.do not change the questions that you dont know what they mean
[21:21] <asobi> i am paranoid because last time it failed @_@
[21:21] <asobi> so it won't auto mount?
[21:21] <slow-motion> hi
[21:22] <asobi> i have a wd my book that auto mounts. this is a maxtor one touch 4
[21:22] <crs> asobi: you can use gui tool, located in: System Setting -> tab "Advenced" -> Disk and file systems
[21:22] <asobi> how do i use it? after format?
[21:22] <simon__> the wizard does only create a backup of the xorg.conf
[21:22] <crs> asobi: mount it and it will appear in devices
[21:22] <simon__> that's all
[21:23] <asobi> i should format it first then
[21:23] <crs> asobi: maybe not
[21:23] <crs> asobi: it might be preformated. try just mount it and see what dmesg says
[21:24] <emilsedgh> simon__: nope.it creates a new xorg.conf based on your answers and keeps the old one as backup
[21:24] <asobi> i just plugged it in
[21:24] <asobi> and it says a new medium has been detected
[21:25] <asobi> hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000
[21:27] <Icelab> hi..

[21:32] <smax> hi
[21:32] <freethinker> there is a packache
[21:33] <kuroryuu> Icelab: ok, so you can see the disk from the command line, but it's not showing up on your desktop?
[21:33] <navetz__> does anyone here have good advice on contrast ratio for a monitor? I am looking at 2 different ones, one is 1000:1 and the other is 2500:1 but about 25 dollars more.
[21:33] <smax> im using a web site that uses realplayer to listen to audio clips.  how can i do this.
[21:33] <freethinker> there is a packache for installed that display 2 monitores?
[21:33] <smax> the file extention is .ram
[21:33] <kuroryuu> navetz__: larger contrast = better picture AFAIK
[21:34] <freethinker> i have installe gnome-mud but nothing happens
[21:34] <Icelab> i have check the box in icon and behaveors
[21:34] <navetz__> kuroryuu: humm, ok. I am not sure my eyes will be able to tell the difference though.
[21:34] <Icelab> bat i have to make a link to peripals to see it icon on the desktop
[21:35] <kuroryuu> navetz__: I find with LCD screens that you really have to just look at them and decide which looks better to you
[21:35] <Icelab> sorry for my english hoping that sameone understand me
[21:36] <freethinker> How can i see ubuntu in 2 monitores?
[21:36] <asobi> crs: wouldn't i have to specify a /dev to mkfs.ext3
[21:36] <Icelab> kuryuu yes
[21:36] <navetz__> kuroryuu: err, but I am ordering online :(
[21:37] <crackaddict> is there an easy way to become super user
[21:37] <crackaddict> so i can copy some files over
[21:37] <kuroryuu> navetz__: look for them in stores to get a look, then order online I guess, lol
[21:37] <crs> asobi: yes you have to.
[21:37] <asobi> so what's the cmd?
[21:38] <crs> asobi: but i dont know what you want to do. ;-) mkfs.ext3 /dev/...
[21:38] <kuroryuu> Icelab: and you checked "Mounted Hard Disk Volume" in System settings > Desktop > Behaviour > Device Icons?
[21:38] <crackaddict> i want to copy some files over using gui any way of becomgin super use
[21:38] <Icelab> yes
[21:38] <asobi> just trying to get syntax
[21:38] <crackaddict> may i ask how
[21:38] <kuroryuu> Icelab: have you tried restarting the computer?
[21:39] <Icelab> yes
[21:40] <millak> is there a place to get automatix that isn't www.getautomatix.com ?
[21:40] <millak> since the site has been down for some time, it seems
[21:40] <asobi> i have to unmount before i can format right?
[21:40] <kuroryuu> millak: automatix is gone now, can't get it for hardy
[21:40] <NickPresta> !automatix

[21:40] <shane2peru> millak: you are better off not using automatix
[21:41] <shane2peru> millak: what do you want to install?
[21:41] <millak> well, that stuff I need to watch my dvd:s at least
[21:41] <NickPresta> If you really want to use something like automatix, you can use Envy, although IT IS NOT SUPPORTED
[21:41] <crs> asobi: yes, unmount it first
[21:41] <NickPresta> !envy
[21:41] <nubotu> envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package.

[21:41] <shane2peru> !DVD | millak
[21:41] <nubotu> millak: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[21:41] <NickPresta> I suggest you look at the docs, millak
[21:42] <asobi> when i unmount, the icon disappears though
[21:42] <kuroryuu> asobi: yes, it's set up to only show the icon of mounted external hds
[21:43] <asobi> wait, it's still there
[21:43] <dhq_> when i install phpmyadmin i get broken package y
[21:44] <asobi> is ext3 better than ntfs?
[21:44] <kuroryuu> asobi: writing to ntfs isn't stable in linux
[21:45] <crs> asobi: do you want to use it with windows as well?
[21:45] <Icelab> kuroryuu there is no way to see that icon?
[21:45] <asobi> i have another external that uses ntfs. i get the feeling that using ext3 for this external confuses fstab
[21:45] <kuroryuu> Icelab: I'm not sure what to do in your situation, sorry I can't help you
[21:47] <Icelab> ok but i will know if kubuntu are able to see two hd
[21:47] <Icelab> for sure
[21:47] <smax> how do i listen to realplayer stuff?
[21:47] <shane2peru> icelab what are you trying to do?
[21:47] <smax> i use a website where realplayer clips are used.
[21:47] <smax> mplayer fails at reading them
[21:48] <NickPresta> !realplayer
[21:48] <shane2peru> smax, you can download realplayer for Linux on the Realplayer web site
[21:48] <nubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[21:48] <yao_ziyuan> does anyone care about firefox 3's ugly tabs under kubuntu's kde theme-ization?
[21:48] <Icelab> i wont to see the icon on desktop of the second hd whit win xp on fat 32
[21:49] <shane2peru> Icelab: ok, you want to see the icon of the second hd using xp or that has xp on it?
[21:50] <smax> ok im going to download realplayer for linux.  do i get firefox to "point" at realplayer so when i click on an audio link, it invokes realplayer?
[21:50] <Icelab> starting kubuntu i able to mount the hd that has on it xo but i have not the icon on the desktop
[21:51] <yao_ziyuan> kubuntu applies the current kde style to GTK+ applications. when it comes to firefox 3, web page tabs are drawn in a broken manner.
[21:51] <shane2peru> Icelab: ahh, ok, so you just want the icon to appear on the desktop?
[21:51] <shane2peru> Icelab: do you know the mount point?
[21:51] <Icelab> yes
[21:51] <shane2peru> was that for both? Icelab
[21:52] <smax> real.com/linux provides a .bin file (how convenient).  what do i do witha .bin file ?
[21:52] <Icelab> sorry can you explane better
[21:53] <admin7> good morning!
[21:53] <Ginungagap_> I am still unable to get a usefull display resolution
[21:53] <shane2peru> Icelab: no problem, I know what it is like to work with a 2nd language
[21:53] <Ginungagap_> Isn't there anybody who can help me?
[21:54] <admin7> useful display in unbuntu?
[21:54] <shane2peru> Icelab: open the  Konsole, and put in this:  sudo fdisk -l
[21:55] <Icelab> ok done
[21:55] <jess> hola
[21:55] <admin7> aloha
[21:55] <smax> i just want to install real player
[21:55] <shane2peru> ok, which of those do you want on the desktop?
[21:55] <smax> thier site provides a .bin file.  what do i do with it
[21:56] <admin7> eat it
[21:56] <smax> i moved it to /usr/bin and get sudo: realplayer.bin: command not found
[21:56] <{slacky}> hello
[21:56] <shane2peru> smax download it and they have instructions on how to install it on the web page
[21:56] <shane2peru> smax: chmod a+x RealPlayerGold.bin
[21:56] <Icelab> sda1
[21:57] <shane2peru> smax: then ./RealPlayerGold.bin   to start installing it.
[21:57] <shane2peru> Icelab: ok, where is sda1 mounted?
[21:57] <shane2peru> smax: just moving it to /usr/bin isn't going to cut it.
[21:57] <shane2peru> smax: put it back in your home/directory
[21:57] <Icelab> on media/fat32
[21:57] <smax> Extracting files for Helix installation.....
[21:58] <smax> i already apt-get installed helix-player
[21:58] <Hamra> hi all, i just installed google earth, all is working fine except that menu fonts are extremely tiny, does anybody have this problem? or better yet, solved it?
[21:58] <Icelab> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16275/
[21:59] <admin7> i believe there are resolution settings in google earth prog. have you tried?
[21:59] <smax> i have helix-player installed how do i get firefox to invoke it when i click an audio link.
[21:59] <shane2peru> Icelab: ok, to put that on the desktop just put this in the konsole:  ln -s /media/fat32 ~/Desktop/fat32        :   However if your computer is set do a different language, you are going to need to change it to the proper word for Desktop in your langauge
[22:00] <shane2peru> smax: not sure on that one, try in the konsole:   aptitude search 'firefox plugin'
[22:00] <bedahr> hi! quick question: when using the gui at preferences > desktop-effects and enabling compiz-effects: where is this value stored (configuration file)?
[22:00] <shane2peru> smax: then look for a plugin that goes with firefox and helix
[22:00] <shane2peru> smax: thinking about it now, I think vlc may be able to play real media archives. :)  That probably would have been faster
[22:01] <smax> ahh yes mozilla-helix-player
[22:01] <shane2peru> smax: sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player    then restart your firefox. :)
[22:02] <Icelab> is the same thing to create a link to a hd starting to a desktop menu ....
[22:02] <shane2peru> Icelab: desktop menu?  I'm not sure what you mean.
[22:03] <Icelab> right click then create then link to a behaveors then hard disk
[22:04] <shane2peru> Icelab: ahh, yes, that is probably the GUI way of doing the same thing :)
[22:04] <Icelab> ok
[22:05] <shane2peru> Icelab: I'm better at command line than I am GUI, especially in KDE
[22:05] <Icelab> yes i know
[22:06] <Icelab> but this is the solution in any case?
[22:06] <shane2peru> I believe so, do you have a link on your desktop?
[22:06] <shane2peru> or a folder?
[22:07] <Icelab> yes i've tried this solution and works,
[22:07] <Icelab> but i think that was possible in different way
[22:07] <shane2peru> Icelab: oohh, I just tried it and yes, that works too.
[22:07] <Icelab> like a cdrom or filesystem
[22:08] <shane2peru> Icelab: right
[22:08] <millak> okay, I should have libdvdcss2 installed now, but kaffeine still says I don't have it
[22:08] <Icelab> just one thing
[22:08] <shane2peru> millak: if you want a simple program install vcl:  sudo apt-get vcl
[22:08] <Icelab> to have the trash icon on the desktop
[22:08] <shane2peru> millak: that plays aboue everything
[22:09] <Icelab> what i have to do?
[22:09] <shane2peru> Icelab: hmm, that is a good question, not sure about that one
[22:09] <smax> i installed the mozilla helix firefox plugin.  Xed out and re invoked firefox.  when i attempt to listen to an audio link i get an error
[22:09] <millak> hmm-m, I'll try that, but I'd like to get kaffeine working as well
[22:09] <smax> Requested file not found. The link you followed may be outdated or inaccurate. (file:///E:/audio/N11712.mp3)
[22:10] <shane2peru> Icelab: google has the answer!  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/24/how-to-add-the-trash-can-to-your-kubuntu-desktop/
[22:10] <Icelab> thank
[22:11] <shane2peru> smax: that isn' t a realmedia player link, that is mp3 link, and they linked it wrong
[22:11] <shane2peru> Icelab: no problem
[22:11] <shane2peru> millak: did you follow those links?  They should get you all setup.
[22:12] <shane2peru> !DVD
[22:12] <nubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[22:12] <Icelab> just doit
[22:12] <smax> shane2peru: i doubt the web site linked anything wrong.  I know folks running windows who have no problems.  so it's the the web site's side
[22:12] <smax> err not the web site's side
[22:13] <Icelab> work also on the desktop menu right click
[22:13] <Icelab> create a link whit a url
[22:14] <Icelab> url is trash:/
[22:14] <shane2peru> smax: when the link points to file:///E:/audio/N11712.mp3  it isn't right, I have made my fair share of links to audio
[22:15] <shane2peru> millak: ahh, seems as those guides are setup for Ubuntu, let me see if I can dig something up
[22:16] <shane2peru> millak: ok, seems you need this:  sudo apt-get install libdvdread3    to get kaffine playing dvd's
[22:18] <smax> shane2peru: huh?  why would they program helix to use incorrect links
[22:18] <smax> that terrable
[22:19] <TimS> !opendns
[22:19] <nubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opendns, try looking on http://stdin.me.uk/bot/factoids.cgi
[22:20] <TimS> Anyone help me with setting up openDNS?
[22:20] <TimS> I tried sudo network-admin but that doesnt exist
[22:20] <shane2peru> smax: helix can play those files, they forgot to point the link to the right location, it is an easy mistake to make
[22:20] <shane2peru> TimS: I use openDNS
[22:20] <TimS> How do you set it up?
[22:20] <shane2peru> TimS: what do you need help with
[22:20] <TimS> https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu
[22:21] <asobi> NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[22:21] <TimS> I tired to follow that, but for the first step I get "sudo: network-admin: command not found"
[22:21] <TimS> I am guessing its not KDE friendly
[22:21] <shane2peru> TimS: I use ddclient and www.dnsomatic.com to keep it up do date
[22:21] <TimS> Okay, cool.
[22:22] <shane2peru> TimS: just sudo apt-get install ddclient
[22:22] <shane2peru> TimS: oooh, wait, first setup an account at www.dnsomatic.com
[22:22] <Icelab> sorry.. why to use opendsn?
[22:23] <shane2peru> keep your username and password handy when you install ddclient it will ask you for that info
[22:23] <TimS> Okay
[22:23] <shane2peru> Icelab: opendns can be used for a lot of reasons, I use it to filter what can be seen from my computers
[22:24] <shane2peru> Icelab: so that my kids can't run into the filth of the web
[22:24] <Icelab> somethings like firewall?
[22:24] <shane2peru> no, it is different, it is like a filteration service
[22:25] <shane2peru> I set it so that porn, drugs and bad stuff like that cannot be accessed from my network
[22:25] <Icelab> it's free
[22:25] <shane2peru> yep
[22:25] <Dragnslcr> So why bother using the Internet?
[22:26] <shane2peru> ha ha, there is a lot of good that is on the web, and I don't want my kids or anyone on my network accessing that stuff.
[22:26] <Icelab> it's an hard stuff set it?
[22:26] <smax> shane2peru: so how do i fix it.  (bad enuff the end user has to fix it)
[22:26] <shane2peru> Icelab: no, you use their dns web servers
[22:26] <TimS> shane2peru: So what is the Dynamic DNS Server?
[22:27] <shane2peru> TimS: let me see
[22:27] <shane2peru> smax: you can't, try another link and see if it is correct, other than that email the web people and let them know
[22:27] <smax> it's not the web people
[22:28] <smax> if i were to go on a windows machine.  it will work.  so it's not them.
[22:28] <smax> it's helix.
[22:28] <shane2peru> TimS: updates.dnsomatic.com
[22:28] <Icelab> ok i'm going to learn more and then i change its
[22:28] <shane2peru> smax: what is the web site
[22:28] <smax> http://www.connect4education.org
[22:28] <shane2peru> Icelab: visit:  www.opendns.com  They have all the info you need on it.
[22:28] <smax> an online college course
[22:28] <smax> you need a password i think
[22:28] <TimS> Oh, I found the site for it.
[22:29] <TimS> Right I put in all the details
[22:29] <Icelab> thanks again
[22:29] <shane2peru> smax: ahh, you are going to need to contact them, you should have no problems playing mp3 files when they are linked correctly
[22:29] <shane2peru> Icelab: no prob
[22:29] <Icelab> are they only in english?
[22:29] <whuuu> hello
[22:29] <shane2peru> Icelab: not sure
[22:30] <smax> Ahh fuck it.    (Im possible to get work dont on linux sigh).
[22:30] <whuuu> how can I make kate save utf-8 files with bom ?
[22:30] <TimS> shane2peru: How can I test to see if it works?
[22:30] <Icelab> hoping no because my english is not a good thing
[22:30] <shane2peru> smax: please help keep this channel family friendly
[22:31] <shane2peru> TimS: open up a terminal and type:  sudo ddclient
[22:31] <TimS> WARNING:  unable to determine IP address
[22:31] <shane2peru> ahh, that isn't good, what kind of setup do you have?  DSL  Cable?  Router?
[22:32] <shane2peru> !language
[22:32] <nubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[22:32] <TimS> Cable
[22:32] <TimS> smax left already :P
[22:32] <shane2peru> TimS: yeah, I was trying it for the next time, I know the command. :)
[22:33] <TimS> :p
[22:33] <shane2peru> TimS: do you have a router?
[22:33] <TimS> Yes
[22:33] <shane2peru> do you have a proxy server?
[22:33] <TimS> I guess it makes more sense to put the DNS stuff in there right?
[22:33] <TimS> Nope
[22:34] <shane2peru> TimS: yes, however their settings don't work unless it can see your ip address to apply the filtering
[22:34] <TimS> Its got my IP fine
[22:34] <shane2peru> TimS: perhaps your router has a way to setup to work directly with dnsomatic, you would need to check their docs
[22:34] <TimS> Okay
[22:34] <TimS> Thanks
[22:34] <shane2peru> TimS: no prob
[22:35] <shane2peru> TimS: there is a possibility that your ddclient.conf file is not right
[22:35] <TimS> My router has DNS setup
[22:37] <shane2peru> TimS: ok, see, if that will update it, if not, I will give you an example file you just need to plug in your username and password
[22:38] <TimS> shane2peru: There we go. It seems to work now!
[22:38] <TimS> But I need to test it with a phishing site :P
[22:39] <Icelab> good night everybody
[22:39] <shane2peru> TimS: here is a copy of my ddclient.conf file:  http://pastebin.com/m69b5c5ec   of course you will need to chage username and password
[22:39] <shane2peru> Icelab: see ya later
[22:39] <TimS> shane2peru: I don't think I need that, I put OpenDNSs nameservers straight into my router
[22:40] <shane2peru> TimS: right you can do that, and I think it will route you through their settings, however I don't think it will work for their filter or any of their other settings.
[22:41] <TimS> Should do, I am logged in there and they know what IP I am coming from
[22:41] <shane2peru> TimS: unless your router updates your ip with opendns. then it will work
[22:41] <shane2peru> TimS: ok, great!
[22:42] <shane2peru> ok, I gotta run bye everyone
[22:47] <buckethead> Hey guys - What would cause a ' to be replaced with a â€™  ?? I'm not sure what would cause this abberation, or where to look to fix it.
[22:48] <kuroryuu> buckethead: check your keyboard layout settings
[22:50] <buckethead> It appears fine, from what I can see in system settings. Am I looking in the right place?
[22:51] <asobi> what's a lost+found folder?
[22:53] <HollowPoint> evenin all
[22:53] <chev_chelios> asobi: that is a folder where once in every thousand years a missing file ends up :)
[22:54] <asobi> can i delete it?
[22:54] <asobi> it's taking up 35gb...
[22:54] <chev_chelios> asobi: what is in it?
[22:54] <HollowPoint> One folder?
[22:55] <asobi> i formated a new hdd as ext3. that folder was there when i mounted
[22:55] <asobi> it's also locked...
[22:55] <chev_chelios> asobi: you need root perm to access it...
[22:55] <asobi> what is it
[22:55]  * asobi is thinking ntfs > ext3
[22:55] <chev_chelios> asobi: type su in console
[22:56] <chev_chelios> asobi: you will get root permissions
[22:56] <Odd-rationale> actually the reccommended way is "sudo -i"
[22:57] <chev_chelios> yep
[22:57] <chev_chelios> forgot
[22:57] <asobi> um
[22:57] <asobi> ls shows nothing
[22:58] <chev_chelios> asobi: try opening nautilus or konqueror as root
[22:58] <Odd-rationale> asobi: cd to the correct dir.
[22:58] <asobi> i am at the folder
[22:59] <asobi> then i did ls
[22:59] <asobi> just put me back to prompt
[22:59] <Odd-rationale> is this the lost+found folder?
[22:59] <chev_chelios> pwd is /lost+found
[22:59] <chev_chelios> ?
[22:59] <asobi> pwd?
[22:59] <chev_chelios> type pwd in console
[23:00] <Odd-rationale> it think the lost+found folder has something to do with the ext3 filesystem...
[23:00] <asobi> it does
[23:00] <asobi> the question is what and why
[23:00] <asobi> besides taking up uselss space
[23:00] <chev_chelios> asobi: does it say /lost+found? if yes, type ls there
[23:01] <darrick> is there a way to change my keyboard language settingsÉ
[23:01] <asobi> asobi> then i did ls
[23:01] <Odd-rationale> asobi: i think you could use mount options like noatime or nodiratime to not use it... i'm not too sure....
[23:01] <asobi> asobi> just put me back to prompt
[23:01] <darrick> É = question mark hence the need for change
[23:02] <Dragnslcr> darrick- System Settings -> Regional & Language

[23:02] <chev_chelios> *control
[23:02] <asobi> what's noatime?
[23:02] <chev_chelios> or that

[23:04] <Odd-rationale> asobi: are you in aterminal? or in X
[23:04] <asobi> terminal
[23:04] <asobi> as root
[23:04] <Odd-rationale> asobi: you need to be in X to start a grphical app
[23:04] <asobi> ok, how
[23:04] <darrick> do i have 2 restart for it to effect anything
[23:05] <Odd-rationale> darrick: what did you change?

[23:09] <HollowPoint> are you trying to remove your lost and found folder here?
[23:09] <asobi> forget that. i just like to know why immediately after format, on first mount, there's a lost+found folder
[23:09] <Odd-rationale> asobi: ok. in a terminal navigate to the directory above the lost+found folder
[23:09] <Odd-rationale> asobi: then execute "du -h"
[23:10] <asobi> ok
[23:10] <HollowPoint> there is a lost and found folder on a hard drive that should be blank as it's just been formatted? You're positive you're looking at the right mounted media?
[23:10] <Odd-rationale> asobi: it should print out the size of all the files and directories
[23:10] <asobi> du: `./lost+found': Permission denied
[23:11] <asobi> yes hollow
[23:11] <Odd-rationale> asobi: prepend that with sudo
[23:11] <HollowPoint> are you in the terminal as Root?
[23:11] <Odd-rationale> sudo du -h
[23:11] <asobi> 16K     ./lost+found
[23:11] <asobi> hmm
[23:12] <Odd-rationale> asobi: so it is not that large...
[23:12] <asobi> icon on desktop shows 35gb used...
[23:12] <Odd-rationale> asobi: who is making a mountain out of that molehill?
[23:12] <HollowPoint> personally if you definately don't want anything on the drive I'd fdisk that drive, remove all partitions, write partition table, create a new partition and then format it in ext3
[23:13] <asobi> i just got this drive two hours ago
[23:13] <HollowPoint> what size is the drive?
[23:13] <asobi> 750
[23:13] <asobi> maxtor one touch 4
[23:13] <HollowPoint> do you know what partitions it has on it?
[23:14] <asobi> i didn't partition
[23:14] <HollowPoint> so you formatted an existing partition then?
[23:14] <asobi> i guess
[23:14] <HollowPoint> ok, how many disks do you have in the machine?
[23:15] <petgrill> can anyone tell me how to add visualazation to amarok plz?
[23:15] <asobi> two
[23:15] <HollowPoint> the main disk with the OS on and this new 750GB Maxtor one?
[23:15] <asobi> onetouch is an external
[23:15] <HollowPoint> ok, USB caddy or ESATA?
[23:15] <asobi> usb
[23:16] <HollowPoint> right, which OS are you using?
[23:16] <HollowPoint> Kubuntu I'm assuming but which version?
[23:16] <asobi> gutsy
[23:16] <HollowPoint> Good man
[23:16] <HollowPoint> go into your K Menu > System > Dolphin
[23:17] <CPrgmSwR2> Hi
[23:17] <HollowPoint> then click on Storage Media on the left hand side
[23:18] <CPrgmSwR2> I am pulling in the new kde4-4.0.80 packages
[23:18] <CPrgmSwR2> Andy they are broken
[23:18] <CPrgmSwR2> nixternal: are you working on this project?
[23:19] <asobi> and?
[23:19] <Dragnslcr> CPrgmSwR2- until you see something on kubuntu.org that the packages are ready, assume that they aren't ready
[23:19] <HollowPoint> ok you should see two drives in storage?
[23:19] <asobi> 4 really
[23:19] <asobi> but what are you trying to do
[23:20] <CPrgmSwR2> Where are the packages comming from
[23:20] <CPrgmSwR2> Because they just starting getting pulled in
[23:20] <HollowPoint> trying to identify the drive which is your new external one, then create an appropriate partition table, then format it
[23:20] <Dragnslcr> CPrgmSwR2- they're being worked on
[23:20] <CPrgmSwR2> Can I disable the updates
[23:20] <asobi> define appropriate partition table
[23:21] <CPrgmSwR2> or how do I disable the updates and revert back to kde 4.0.4
[23:21] <CPrgmSwR2> Because my kde4 is broken
[23:21] <asobi> format should create a clean slate?
[23:21] <HollowPoint> no
[23:21] <HollowPoint> you partition the drive first then you format a partition
[23:21] <HollowPoint> formatting the drive is a bad term, formatting a partition is what actually happens
[23:21] <asobi> ok
[23:21] <asobi> so how i partition
[23:22] <CPrgmSwR2> asobi: reinstall should create a clean slate
[23:22] <HollowPoint> it isn't his main drive that's the problem CPrgmSwR2
[23:22] <HollowPoint> anyway
[23:22] <HollowPoint> first you need to identify which drive you want to partition
[23:22] <HollowPoint> you say you're getting 4 drives in Storage Media, what are they?
[23:22] <asobi> the one that says 750
[23:23] <asobi> so how do i partition it
[23:23] <HollowPoint> ok, if you hover over that with your cursor the image on the right hand side should change and underneath it should be the drive identifier, i.e. sda1
[23:23] <CPrgmSwR2> How do I prevent these new kde4 updates from comming in?>
[23:24] <asobi> sda1 it is
[23:24] <HollowPoint> that's interesting
[23:24] <asobi> it's mounted currently
[23:24] <HollowPoint> if you hover over the drive that holds your operating system what drive identifier does that come up with?
[23:24] <asobi> hda1
[23:25] <HollowPoint> ah ok
[23:25] <HollowPoint> IDE drive then
[23:25] <HollowPoint> few
[23:25] <asobi> no sata here
[23:25] <HollowPoint> in that case bring up a terminal
[23:25] <HollowPoint> sudo fdisk /dev/sda

[23:25] <asobi> with it mounted?
[23:25] <HollowPoint> yeah
[23:26] <asobi> ok...
[23:26] <nixternal> if anyone grabs the kde4.1 beta1 packages from the ppa and it destroys your system, don't say I didn't just tell you...there is a darn good chance of data loss yet
[23:26] <HollowPoint> ok if you type p
[23:26] <HollowPoint> you should get a list of your existing partitions
[23:26] <HollowPoint> how many do you get?
[23:27] <asobi> /dev/sda1   *           1       91201   732572001    7  HPFS/NTFS
[23:27] <CPrgmSwR2> OH COOL... I got KDE 4.1
[23:27] <HollowPoint> ok so the drive is formatted in NTFS, you formatted this in Windows?
[23:28] <asobi> should be ext3
[23:28] <HollowPoint> ok then it didn't get formatted properly
[23:29] <HollowPoint> if you now press d you can delete that partition
[23:29] <CPrgmSwR2> oh my gosh kde 4.1 is so fast
[23:29] <asobi> ok
[23:29] <HollowPoint> once the partition is deleted you need to press n to create a new partition
[23:29] <asobi> e or p
[23:30] <HollowPoint> just accept the defaults and it will create one partition that spans the entire drive, choose p for primary as you're only going to have one partition on the drive
[23:30] <asobi> number 1-4
[23:30] <asobi> 1?
[23:30] <HollowPoint> 1
[23:30] <asobi> choose defaults?
[23:30] <asobi> ok
[23:30] <avihayb> can anyone clue me into, say, seeing the composit input of a hauppage wintv pvr-150? on VLC could be a nice start...
[23:30] <HollowPoint> yeah if you hit enter when it prompts for p or e it will choose p and if you hit enter when it says number 1-4 it'll choose 1
[23:31] <asobi> done
[23:31] <HollowPoint> ok now you need to press w which will write the partition table to disk
[23:32] <Dragnslcr> nixternal- will the packages be moved over to the standard repositories when you have everything straightened out?
[23:34] <azzco> I can't move my mouse when I hold down buttons on my keyboard.. What could be the cause (It's worked before I'm sure...)?
[23:39] <nixternal> Dragnslcr: no they won't, they will stick in the PPA...the KDE 4.0.x packages (4.0.5 out this week I think) will go into the standard -backports or updates
[23:42] <CPrgmSwR2> nixternal: so we have to wait until the next release of kubuntu before kde4.1 is in the main repository
[23:47] <darrick> my adept manager keeps crashin what should i do?
[23:48] <darrick> i have the crash handler report if anyone wants to see it
[23:57] <sonofusion82> darrick, may u can try to do a "sudo apt-get update" in command line
[23:57] <sonofusion82> sometimes it could be due to a corrupted apt db
[23:58] <root> ok
[23:59] <root> hola alguien habla español
[23:59] <root> ?'
[23:59] <millak> kde crashes if I try to run v4l-conf
[23:59] <NickPresta> !es | root
[23:59] <nubotu> root: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[23:59] <nixternal> CPrgmSwR2: no...we will backport the stable 4.1 when it becomes available


 i overwrote the panel.config on my laptop with the good one from my desktop
 It was corrected without delay without reboot or leaving and logging back in (re @Rodrigo: I think the latter)

[23:56] <gf2>    	 	 	 	 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 115% } 		a:link { so-language: zxx } 	   Hi Everyone. I need advice. I have been working with a reporter on an old ticket regarding Thunderbird. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1251059
[23:56] <gf2>   I am not sure what I should do next. Reporter can’t replicate original problem but now reports same issue on a different dialog window. I changed the title from “ "HTML Mail Question" dialog doesn't fit”    to    “Preferences dialog window too small” I was able to replicate the preferences dialog window problem on my computer. I found a corresponding bug report on Bugzilla (#502371). On comment number 3 in bugzilla there
[23:56] <gf2>  was a solution was provided (edit a DPI setting). It worked for me on my computer.   The reporter tried it and still has the problem.   He is using Mate 16.04.  I am in Ubuntu 18.04.    What are my next steps? Should I link this to the Mate project? Should I just mark it as confirmed and move on?


[01:29] <blahdeblah> Anyone know if Ubuntu provides a standard repository for getting later kernel versions on 12.04 LTS?
[06:45] <jared> blahdeblah: was it an original 12.04 or a 12.04.2 or later? Apparently it makes a difference - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#LTS_Hardware_Enablement_Stack
[06:53] <blahdeblah> jared: Turns out you can just install linux-image-current-generic and get the kernel from the current non-LTS version.  Pretty sweet.
[08:10] <jared> blahdeblah: even easier then
