[12:15] <drkm> I am trying to sync my ipod with amarok.. it mounts.. as it says its mounted the /media/ipod but when I click connect it says it can't connect to iPod.. anyone know why?
[12:15] <Captain_Redbeard> So did anyone try the KDE4 snapshot yet?
[12:17] <coreire> !modeline
[12:17] <ubotu> A Modeline is a configuration line in the X server configuration file that provides information about a connected computer monitor or television and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here is 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://www.bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[12:18] <rEvolution27> anyone reccomend easy ubuntu?
[12:21] <cntb> rEvolution27: I recommend 'sudo apt-get install program '
[12:21] <cntb> matsavhalev_problems?
[12:22] <coreire> bugger, was trying to set my res and am now getting "mode not supported" on my screen. Any key combination to get from the username/pass screen to the commandline?
[12:29] <inteliwasp> my cat had decided to sit on my keyboard, after haveing a billion windows open, my keyboard in X does not work... how can i fix it
[12:30] <zerak> does not starting x after hard drive check count as a bug ?
[12:30] <zerak> or is it a so called "feature", not starting x
[12:31] <VanessaE> well
[12:31] <cntb> hahahaha inteliwasp, next time lock session automatically. learn from mistakes
[12:31] <VanessaE> if an error occurs that could keep X from starting at all (i.e. your x config gets hosed), it should be considered a feature
[12:31] <johny_> !fglrx|johny
[12:31] <ubotu> johny: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:32] <cntb> inteliwasp ctrl alt f1
[12:32] <zerak> well it did start the second try
[12:32] <inteliwasp> cntb: i'm in terminal mode now
[12:32] <zerak> i got a feeling that kubuntu and x.org are not very good friends
[12:32] <VanessaE> as for keys being weird, if I remember right, ctrl-shift-NumLock is one way to recover
[12:32] <inteliwasp> cntb: oh, and the problen persist after reboot
[12:33] <VanessaE> it's some weird keycombo like that
[12:33] <VanessaE> ew.
[12:33] <cntb> zerak lets you check things out
[12:33] <VanessaE> nevermind
[12:33] <zerak> recover mode?
[12:33] <VanessaE> zerak: essentially, yeah
[12:33] <VanessaE> but really, it just means X doesn't get started :)
[12:33] <zerak> nice combo
[12:33] <cntb> inteliwasp do you have alternateCD ?
[12:33] <cntb> !alternate
[12:33] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:33] <inteliwasp> i'll try ctl-shft-numb
[12:33] <johny_> hey guys I've just resolved the problem with non having fglrx support
[12:33] <VanessaE> you always have those consoles available whether X is running or not
[12:34] <zerak> yes but i prefer yakuake
[12:35] <johny_> on the page  the bot links you to  there's an error
[12:35] <zerak> shoud learn lynx and the console irc
[12:36] <zerak> however i call it a feature and end with that, good night and enjoy the evening/night/morning/day or whatever =)
[12:36] <neil__> hello
[12:37] <neil__> anyone here?
[12:37] <cntb> no
[12:37] <neil__> good answer
[12:38] <neil__> where are you from cntb?
[12:38] <Alarm> is it possible my K-menu to use any kind of transparency ?
[12:38] <neil__> no i dea i just installed this kubuntu thing last night and finally got my wireless network working today.
[12:39] <SilverCat> Here's a wonky one:  I am using a USB to IDE cable from usbgeek called the R-DriverII.  It works just fine under MacOSX, Solaris9 (on Sparc) and Knoppix - KUbuntu (6.10) is refusing to play nicely with it, though it shows up in lsusb and lsscsi.  An lsmod | grep -i usb in Knoppix shows that usb_ohci is being used, but under KUbuntu, it isn't loaded, and neither will modprobe load it for me.  A cursory apt-cache search ochi doesn't
[12:39] <coreire> how do i set the default res for X to start in? I have to do it from command line as X is trying to start with too high a res for the screen
[12:39] <SilverCat> coreire : order matters in your resolutions line in your xorg.conf.  Whatever you want for your default should be first.
[12:40] <chavo> Alarm,  System Settings -> Appearance -> Style - Effects Tab make menu translucent
[12:40] <inteliwasp> well...
[12:40] <inteliwasp> the cnt-shift-numb did not work...
[12:40] <neil__> is there a manual you can download for all the commands for the command prompt?
[12:41] <inteliwasp> neil__: yes
[12:41] <neil__> where do i download it
[12:41] <coreire> thanks silvercat
[12:41] <iuli> www.ss64.com
[12:41] <SilverCat> Sure, coreire.  Hope it helps.
[12:41] <Alarm> chavo,  thank you very much. do u know maybe if there is a way in changing the font colour of the taskbar-ed windows ?
[12:41] <iuli> a good link for commands
[12:41] <neil__> is there a virus checker for kubuntu or do i need one?
[12:41] <VanessaE> normally your system comes with manual pages for the various commands also, i.e. `man something`
[12:41] <chavo> neil__, no but lots of howto's on the web
[12:42] <chavo> neil__, no need for virus checker for the most part
[12:42] <chavo> unless your scanning stuff headed to a Windows box
[12:42] <inteliwasp> neil__: wait, i'm not shure for D/L, but orilly's "unix commands in a nutshell" is a god book
[12:42] <SilverCat> neil : that's an anormous list.  Phonebook-sized, even.  What you're probably after is a manual like the user's guide, which you can find at The Linux Documentation Project at www.tldp.org
[12:42] <neil__> ok i found all the commands thank you
[12:42] <ErikTheRed> can any of you recommend a good piece of software for tagging music
[12:42] <ErikTheRed> other than easytag
[12:43] <SilverCat> neil: what VanessaE said.  Also, if you're not sure what command to use, it often helps to try man -k <foo> where foo is a relevant word for what you're trying to do.  Alternative to that is 'apropos' which does the same thing.
[12:44] <inteliwasp> ErikTheRed: i know there are others, but i cant look right now due to being stuck in terminal mode
[12:44] <neil__> ok thank you.
[12:44] <neil__> i have been trying man <word>
[12:44] <wedgeV> ErikTheRed: audio tag tool
[12:44] <wedgeV> but easytag works fine for me
[12:44] <neil__> what does the -k do?
[12:45] <Wazzzaaa> can anybody tell me howto get the latest release from SVN ? do i need to add an url to the source.list of apt?
[12:45] <inteliwasp> anyone know how to unlock the keyboard? X decided it will not accept it but the tty does
[12:45] <SilverCat> sure, man <word> will work, but if and only if there's a command called that.  where man -k <word> will tel you all the stuff related to that word.
[12:45] <chavo> you can edit tags with Amarok also
[12:45] <neil__> oh ok thank you
[12:45] <neil__> sorry but i am brand new to this. just installed it to try yesterday.
[12:45] <Shak1> NEW
[12:46] <SilverCat> Wazzzaaa : just use svn from the command line.  There isn't an apt repository for something that fresh.
[12:46] <neil__> and totally amazed myself when i was able to get my wireless internet and network working by myself.
[12:46] <SilverCat> Wazzzaaa: "man svn" for usage details.  If it isn't installed, then you should be able to "apt-get install subversion"
[12:46] <chavo> you can also try man: in konqueror if you'd like to see man pages like that
[12:47] <coreire> silvercat: just to let ya know changing order worked perfect, thanks a lot man, i was freakin out lol
[12:47] <SilverCat> neil__: are you having fun with it so far?
[12:47] <Wazzzaaa> thnx SilverCat, that second answer helps me :D
[12:47] <neil__> well ya its something different.
[12:47] <neil__> its definately a challenge
[12:47] <SilverCat> coreire: No problem, man.  That's what we're all here for.
[12:48] <neil__> do you run msn sivercat?
[12:48] <SilverCat> neil__: To be honest with you, I haven't used Windows since 3.11, so the other way around is a challenge for me.  It's all in what you're used to.
[12:48] <SilverCat> neil__: I sure don't.  But I've got AIM
[12:48] <neil__> i am using kopete for my msn account
[12:49] <neil__> what is the best linux distro do you think? the most advanced one?
[12:49] <VanessaE> depends on how you define "most advanced"
[12:49] <inteliwasp> neil__: um... if you ask 10 people that, you will get 20 answers
[12:49] <SilverCat> How are you liking Kopete?  It's really fab most of the time, especially with the way it uses knotify.    But I understand that's new functionality and likely to be buggy for a while.
[12:49] <Shak1> NEW
[12:50] <neil__> i am using kubuntu 6.10 is that a good one
[12:50] <neil__> like webcams you mean?
[12:50] <SilverCat> neil__: that's the newest Ubuntu distro, until Feisty Fawn (7.04) comes out.
[12:50] <Shak1> NEW
[12:50] <neil__> is there a better messenger
[12:50] <inteliwasp> gaim
[12:50] <SilverCat> yeah, like webcams.
[12:51] <neil__> is gaim better
[12:51] <SilverCat> Some folks really like Gaim, but if you're in KDE, Gaim's just kinda bloatware.
[12:51] <iuli> psi
[12:51] <VanessaE> if you mean newest software, probably the 'unstable' branch of gentoo.  If you mean the most robust or bug-free, maybe Red Hat or straight Debian (stable branch).  if you mean easiest to use, surely Ubuntu.  So yeah, it depends on how you define "most advanced"
[12:51] <Shak1> NEW
[12:51] <ErikTheRed> can audio tag tool pull from freedb?
[12:52] <neil__> the only thing i dont like about this kubuntu is that since i installed it my other work isnt getting done. lol
[12:52] <inteliwasp> SilverCat: do you know how to unlock my keyboard when X lockes it?
[12:53] <SilverCat> inteliwasp: I'm not sure what you mean by 'lock'.  Do you mean that X is started up and isn't using your KB properly?  Is it configured correctly in your xorg.conf?
[12:53] <neil__> what do you run silvercat? kubuntu or debian or what?
[12:55] <inteliwasp> SilverCat: well my cat decided it wanted to sit on my tosty laptop keyboard, thus opening hundresds of windows(had "M" held down, when i came back, the keyboard would not respond and had to restart, after i log on, the kb stops working in X but it was working up till the login screen.
[12:56] <inteliwasp> i think that was the longist line i ever wrote in irc...
[12:57] <neil__> what do you use silvercat? kubuntu or debian or what?
[12:57] <SilverCat> I use KUbuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) at home and on my desktop at work.
[12:57] <phobiac> inteliwasp: You could try reconfiguring X
[12:57] <neil__> i see that is what i have installed too. i kinda like it. and i really appreciate your assistance here
[12:58] <phobiac> inteliwasp: Can you get to a command line session on the computer?
[12:58] <inteliwasp> i a atm...
[12:58] <inteliwasp> crap i gota go
[12:58] <neil__> i use the terminal program for a command line
[12:59] <neil__> anyway gotta run. thanks again silvercat. i owe ya one.
[01:02] <SilverCat> Oi.  Buddy just showed up with some beers.  I'm gonna say goodnight.
[01:04] <leiar> can anyone help me to install java 1.5 on kubuntu. I've screwed it up I think by installing deb packages. Now I've got broken dependencies
[01:04] <Hobbsee> !java
[01:04] <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
[01:08] <leiar> obotu: what do I do with broken dependencies?
[01:08] <leiar> obotu: I've tried apt-get -f install
[01:08] <VanessaE> usually `apt-get -f install`
[01:08] <VanessaE> will do it.
[01:08] <Jucato> !ubotu
[01:08] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:08] <VanessaE> oh.
[01:09] <VanessaE> !pastebin
[01:09] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:09] <VanessaE> paste an example of the error output there ^^^
[01:09] <VanessaE> and then let us know the URL of the paste so we can look
[01:12] <voicu> can't i span a movie on the two monitors i have? i have xinerama enabled and (i think) i disabled overlays in vlc, it still doesn't work
[01:12] <voicu> btw, how do i disable overlays in kaffeine?
[01:12] <tom__> If i have a 80gb hard drive, only one partition, could i cut off 10 or so gb to use for another partition without destroying my current one?
[01:12] <VanessaE> I dunno about vlc except that I tried it once and had the same problem - have you tried xine?
[01:13] <voicu> VanessaE, did xine work for you?
[01:13] <VanessaE> I don't remember :)
[01:13] <VanessaE> lemme try it
[01:13] <VanessaE> yep, works.
[01:13] <leiar> VanessaE: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4354/
[01:14] <voicu> hmm, kaffeine uses xine, right? why doesn't it work
[01:14] <voicu> hehe
[01:14] <johny_> when watching divix, xvid movies in Kaffeine, Totem, vlc they "freeze" only few seconds. Have an idea what it can be?
[01:14] <VanessaE> yes, it uses xine's libs, but the problem could be UI-related.
[01:14] <VanessaE> tried installing xine-ui and using that?
[01:14] <voicu> nope, but that's the plan now :D
[01:15] <VanessaE> d'oh - foreign language error msgs :)
[01:15] <leiar> VanessaE: Can I change default language in console?
[01:16] <leiar> so you can read it?
[01:16] <VanessaE> kinda-sorta
[01:16] <VanessaE> I don't read norwegian
[01:16] <VanessaE> but it looks like it's saying it wants a different version of libc6 than what's installed
[01:16] <VanessaE> or that it has no installation candidate maybe
[01:17] <leiar> Can't i just remove it?
[01:17] <Jucato>  libc6-i686: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-11 is installed ?
[01:17] <VanessaE> definitely not. :)  libc6 is used by pretty much everything
[01:18] <leiar> what do you suggest, I should'n have fooled around with these deb.packages...
[01:18] <VanessaE> hm
[01:18] <ben_m> How do I find the name of my network card out?
[01:19] <VanessaE> not really sure to be honest; maybe you could download the latest libc6 from ubuntu's repository (or look in /var/cache/apt/archives and see if it's there) and install the deb using dpkg
[01:19] <VanessaE> that *might* fix it
[01:19] <Jucato> leiar: you might have added an unofficial repository that upgraded libc6
[01:20] <VanessaE> that's what I was thinking..
[01:20] <leiar> jucato: I think youre right. Let me have a loog at the source.list
[01:20] <VanessaE> check your /etc/apt/sources.list like Jucato suggests
[01:21] <VanessaE> if you can manually restore libc6, you might be able to let apt-get fix things from there.
[01:21] <leiar> Yes, universe and multiverse are all uncommented
[01:22] <VanessaE> those are usually safe
[01:22] <voicu> i don't get it. how did you disable overlays in xine?
[01:22] <VanessaE> anything new?
[01:22] <voicu> still doesn't work
[01:22] <VanessaE> voicu, why are you trying to disable the overlay anyways?  you need that for fast rendering
[01:23] <voicu> well, i think my video board can only overlay on one of the monitors
[01:23] <VanessaE> xine -V chanmges video output modes
[01:23] <VanessaE> (e.g:  xine -V opengl)
[01:23] <VanessaE> you can select from these:  aadxr3 dxr3 xv SyncFB opengl xshm xxmc none vidixfb vidix fb xvmc
[01:23] <leiar> Haven't got anything but ubuntu-links in sources.list
[01:23] <voicu> hmm
[01:24] <leiar> ow do i manualley restore libc6?
[01:24] <Jucato> leiar: can you pastebin your sources.list ?
[01:24] <VanessaE> leiar, could libc6 have been updated during a manual install, as in dpkg -i *.deb  maybe?
[01:24] <leiar> jucato: yes
[01:24] <VanessaE> look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:24] <VanessaE> see if the original is still there
[01:24] <VanessaE> dpkg -i thatfile.deb   if it is.
 libc6-i686: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-11 is installed ? <-- 2.3.6.ds1-11 definitely doesn't look like an ubuntu version
[01:25] <leiar> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4355/
[01:26] <leiar> jucato: You are right. I downloaded it from a debian site....
[01:27] <Jucato> er..
[01:27] <Jucato> try this: sudo apt-get install libc6=2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4
[01:27] <leiar> how do I remove it (you've probably realized that I am not experienced in Linux by now....)
[01:28] <VanessaE> just for future reference, never ever touch anything that says "glibc" or "libc" (5, 6, 7, whatever).  It's very easy to totally hose your system if you futz with those.
[01:28] <VanessaE> just re-install the 'right' one, it should force the bad version out.
[01:29] <leiar> VanessaE, jucato: thanks. Seems to work now..
[01:29] <VanessaE> good deal.
[01:30] <leiar> But my java version is 1.4.2 even if I have installed sun-java5-jre

[01:31] <ubuntu> when installing kubuntu it askes me to "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space" and then at the bottom there is a slider that says "New Partition Size" is it refering to the master partiton i am resizing or thr new partition iminstalling kubuntu on?
[01:31] <Jucato> leiar: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[01:32] <Jucato> leiar: then choose the correct java version

[01:37] <slyfox> Can anyone tell me anything about Kmail vs Gmail ?
[01:37] <slyfox> offline vs online ?
[01:38] <voicu> !DPMS
[01:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dpms - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:40] <BluesKaj> ubuntu, looks like you have windows installed , that's usually hda1
[01:40] <makuseru> no
[01:40] <makuseru> mint linux
[01:40] <Hobbsee> slyfox: uh?  kmail and gmail are completely different?
[01:41] <Hobbsee> you can view your gmail mail thru kmail though
[01:41] <antibody> hi all I'm having problems..I have a swap on /dev/sda1/UUID=75b64ee7-06a6-4327-95e5-15964905af4e however I have this line in /etc/fstab : UUID=75b64ee7-06a6-4327-95e5-15964905af4e none swap noauto 0 0 and I don't have swap after boot.
[01:42] <slyfox> Hobbsee: that is what I was thinking, but then if I start using Kmail, my Gmail will turn into mass.. no ?
[01:42] <slyfox> Hobbsee: what do you use for mail , To Do list, and Calendar ?
[01:42] <antibody>  if I swapon /dev/sda1 it works if I do swapon UUID=75b64ee7-06a6-4327-95e5-15964905af4e it doesn't
[01:43] <Hobbsee> slyfox: not really.  well, depends what kind of mess you mean.  i'ts a pop3 protocol, so changes in kmail arent seen on gmail, and vice versa
[01:43] <LjL> ryanakca: err... i though i was on -offtopic. anyway :)
[01:43] <ryanakca> LjL: kk
[01:43] <ryanakca> LjL: lol
[01:43] <Hobbsee> slyfox: my mail's by imap, not pop3.  thunderbird, as kmail sucks for imap.
[01:44] <slyfox> Hobbsee: what about to do lists and calendar?
[01:44] <slyfox> Hobbsee: I am debating to use Kontact vs Googel Calander and Rememebr the Milk
[01:45] <Hobbsee> slyfox: well, you can import mail to any client you like, usually.
[01:45] <Hobbsee> calender isnt easy to sync.  dont know about that one
[01:45] <word> if you run a 64 bit processer on -386...should it go horridly slow?

[01:46] <Hobbsee> word: nto really

[01:53] <Hobbsee> word: ahh.  -i386 is the way to go then.  no idea why it isnt working
[01:53] <|Soul^Shadow|> hhmm pentium Doh' I cooked it again
[01:53] <Hobbsee> |Soul^Shadow|: sure, but on the odd occasion i do, i dump stuff from here (linux) to an XP box, not the other way around
[01:54] <|Soul^Shadow|> I got same 1 way comunication with this sob
[01:54] <|Soul^Shadow|> I hate Xp
[01:54] <|Soul^Shadow|> but I have to use it
[01:55] <|Soul^Shadow|> I doubt wine could handlethe tax program cus it uses SQL databases
[01:55] <|Soul^Shadow|> handle the*
[01:56] <makuseru> what happens when your resizing a partition and it gets stuck on 0?
[01:58] <word> Hobbsee: it's working-ish just going slower than my 3 year old processor
[01:59] <Hobbsee> word: odd...
[01:59] <Hobbsee> word: no decrease in ram, presumably?
[01:59] <Hobbsee> word: and which are you isntalling?
[01:59] <Hobbsee> oh wait, a p4...it shouldnt matter
[02:00] <makuseru> what happens when your resizing a partition and it gets stuck on 0%?
[02:01] <word> Hobbsee: nope, theoratically the ram should be running faster, this mobo supports dual channel at 400 instead of 333 like the old one
[02:01] <Hobbsee> makuseru: it's thinking about it?
[02:01] <Hobbsee> word: true
[02:01] <makuseru> would it be ok to close it
[02:01] <makuseru> or would that ruin the partition
[02:02] <makuseru> even thouh its on 0%
[02:03] <rEvolution27> can anyone give me help on how to set up a home wireless network?
[02:03] <rEvolution27> i'm connected to a wireless router by LAN
[02:05] <Hobbsee> makuseru: not sure, to be honest
[02:05] <Hobbsee> rEvolution27: install knetworkmanager?
[02:05] <Hobbsee> isnt it already set up, if you're connected to it?
[02:05] <Hobbsee> root___: ircing as root is bad, btw
[02:06] <rEvolution27> umm
[02:07] <rEvolution27> The network was set up out of the box so I don't really nkow
[02:08] <rEvolution27> i lied... i'm connected to a modem which is connected to a wireless router..
[02:08] <word> Hobbsee: so when i upgrade to fiesty i should use the regular cd not the amd64 one even though i have a pentium D?
[02:08] <rEvolution27> I think amd 64 is only for AMD chips
[02:11] <word> rEvolution27: ok
[02:12] <rEvolution27> so umm.... k network manager... I got it. How does it work?
[02:12] <tom__> if i have a 10 gb partition and 70 free how can i combine the two?
[02:13] <rEvolution27> depending on the physical location of the partitons on the drive, you should be able to resize the 10gb partition
[02:14] <tom__> there right next to eachother

[02:14] <rEvolution27> yes then you can just resize the 10gb

[02:41] <sts9> so, the other day, (using feisty) my Kontrol Center is empty. all the options are gone.  just updated and still no fix.   Is there are way to reset its original state??
[02:41] <sts9> Im assuming a config file or xml or something got hosed.  Not sure how.
[02:42] <|Soul^Shadow|> kk
[02:42] <Jucato> !feisty | sts9
[02:43] <ubotu> sts9: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[02:43] <Jucato> sts9: afaik, a fix is on the way
[02:43] <sts9> ok, so Im the only one
[02:43] <sts9> I mean im *not*
[02:43] <sts9> the only one
[02:43] <Jucato> sts9: no. you're not the only one
[02:43] <Jucato> yeah
[02:43] <Jucato> :)
[02:43] <sts9> ok. fair enough
[02:44] <sts9> works for me. no biggie.  I understood the risk
[02:44] <sts9> haha
[02:44] <sts9> of feisty
[02:46] <sts9> but, one other issue thats dates back to my edgy days, the links in the "about" page in konqueror dont work.  clicking on the Home Link doesnt take me to my files.  I have to click the "View" button
[02:46] <Jucato> hm?
[02:46] <Jucato>
[02:46] <Jucato> works fine here
[02:46] <sts9> its only a slight annoyance
[02:47] <sts9> yeah it works on my girlfreinds computer also
[02:47] <sts9> I musta done something. a while ago. and never fixed.  even upgrading to feisty
[02:48] <phobiac> Oh now this is just awesome. I found someone who wrote a bash script that rips the sound off of youtube videos, gives them (fake yet surprisingly nice sound) stereo, and then outputs it as an mp3.
[02:48] <phobiac> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=328347 For anyone who's interested
[02:49] <phobiac> I had to install some packages though, ecasound, mpeg123, and lame.
[02:49] <bkudria> hmm, is there, perhaps, an ETA for amarok 1.4.5?
[02:50] <Jucato> sts9: well, if you did something that was saved in your /home settings, upgrades won't reset/remove them
[02:50] <Hobbsee> bkudria: i'ts released, packages are done for feisty
[02:50] <phobiac> Is there anything new coming out with amarok 1.4.5?
[02:50] <bkudria> Hobbsee: what about edgy?
[02:50] <sts9> yeah I tried just deleting the configs
[02:50] <sts9> Im using 1.4.5 right now
[02:50] <bkudria> phobiac: it has some cool features, and a load of bugfixes
[02:50] <sts9> not much in day to day use
[02:51] <sts9> I havent notice anything
[02:51] <phobiac> Oh wait, make that mpg123 above. Not mpeg123.
[02:51] <sts9> that mp3 store and some equalizer fix
[02:51] <Hobbsee> bkudria: likely backported in the next few days
[02:51] <phobiac> bkudria: Is there a list anywhere?
[02:51] <bkudria> Hobbsee: oh, ok, cool.
[02:52] <bkudria> phobiac: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/10/66/
[02:52] <bkudria> phobiac: also, a link to the AWN on the Dot
[02:52] <sts9> I really wish they could remove the small gap between songs
[02:52] <sts9> crossfading is ok, but its odd to me
[02:53] <bkudria> sts9: not possible?  ask in #amarok?
[02:53] <bkudria> sts9: what if the crossfade was really small?
[02:53] <surgy> i have my documents shared on my windows pc and i want to access it with this linux box, i click system menu > remote places > samba shares  and nothing is there, can someone help me trouble shoot this please?
[02:53] <sts9> well Ill mess with it before I bother them.  just an off hand comment anyways
[02:53] <phobiac> "Elapsed time can be shown in OSD. Patch by Christian Engels" I've been waiting for that one, for that alone I can't wait.
[02:54] <sts9> Amarok, owns me
[02:54] <sts9> :)
[02:54] <surgy> sts9: yes it is awsome
[02:55] <Pupeno> Does anybody know of a channel where PIC (microchip's) programming is discussed?
[02:55] <sts9> the ipod support is just very well designed also
[02:55] <sts9> much nicer UI then iTunes
[02:55] <surgy> pupeno: no but i might have a few really good articles, mind me asking what your project is?
[02:56] <phobiac> Heh, with rockbox on it I just have my iPod set as a generic player in Amarok
[02:56] <Pupeno> surgy: I want to make a keyboard.
[02:56] <Pupeno> surgy: I have some specific questions, which might be too off-topic here. Shall we join another channel?
[02:57] <Pupeno> surgy: I created #gnupic.
[02:58] <sts9> What is it you like about rockbox that the apple software doesnt have?  Ive looked around at some of the linux on iPod stuff but I never saw what the draw is
[02:58] <sts9> Ive tried them tho.
[02:58] <bkudria> Pupeno: maybe, #electronics ?
[02:59] <sts9> Im too broke to mess up my iPod,  in fact, that s what made me switch to linux 4 years ago. hard drive crash and no Windows dosk
[02:59] <Pupeno> bkudria: yes, nice idea. Thanks.
[02:59] <phobiac> iPodlinux I didn't like too much. Rockbox is nice for me because with the settings I have it's battery life is a lot longer then with the Apple OS.
[02:59] <sts9> hmmm
[03:00] <sts9> interesting
[03:00] <sts9> Ill have to look on the net for some screenshots of it first...
[03:00] <sts9> cause Im shallow
[03:00] <sts9> ;)
[03:00] <phobiac> sts9: Rockbox has very very little chance of messing up your iPod. The only possible way to mess it up would be if the bootloader (somehow) was written wrong and then you can't connect with your computer to reformat. Which I have never heard of happening.
[03:01] <phobiac> sts9: www.rockbox.org
[03:02] <phobiac> Look in the iPodWPS section for your iPod's model.
[03:02] <sts9> I do really like the Apple interface.  Its very clean.
[03:02] <sts9> yeah Im checking it out
[03:03] <shinigami2> !register
[03:03] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[03:05] <sts9> Maybe after I manage to get compiz to work - Ill check out rockbox.  Ive been messing with these GLX settings for hours.  everytime it kills my borders
[03:06] <sts9> I might head over to #compiz or #beyrl if I feel a little less stubborn later
[03:06] <phobiac> sts9: I *might* be able to help. What's your video card?
[03:06] <sts9> um
[03:06] <sts9> geforce 4 I beleive
[03:07] <sts9> the driver meets the 9***+ requirement
[03:07] <phobiac> I have beryl running smoothly (Well, as smooth as a laptop can run it) on this laptop as we speak.
[03:07] <sts9> I beleive I can use AIGLX
[03:07] <sts9> should I use AIGLX if I can?
[03:07] <phobiac> If you can use it yeah, it's better but I can't recall why.
[03:08] <sts9> well from what I hear, AIGLX is the long term solution
[03:08] <phobiac> Do you have your card set up right though?
[03:08] <sts9> its merged into xorg 7.1
[03:08] <sts9> sure
[03:09] <sts9> glxgears works good and I see the nvidia splash before Kdm loads
[03:09] <sts9> and openGL screensavers work
[03:09] <phobiac> Alright, and you're using compiz?
[03:09] <sts9> so I assume everything is ok
[03:09] <sts9> well Ive tried both
[03:10] <sts9> both of em kill my borders
[03:10] <phobiac> There's a command to run to test it, hold on a second.
[03:10] <sheldonc> feisty fawn, here we go. if this doesnt fix this "dont know what your cdrom is, sorry" lunacy i think im going to jump off my balcony.
[03:10] <sts9> I still get the cube and all that stuff, but the window titlebar is gone
[03:10] <phobiac> Oh that's odd.
[03:10] <phobiac> And this is on beryl or compiz?
[03:12] <sts9> well compiz is the last I tried so thats the one installed
[03:12] <rEvolution27> sts9 i've had that problem before.... it's a theme problem
[03:13] <rEvolution27> can't remember how I solved it...
[03:13] <sts9> Im using plastic, but that shouldnt matter does it? they have their own themes/window managers
[03:13] <rEvolution27> I don't use compiz though...
[03:13] <phobiac> sts9: Have you tried changing themes? It could be the theme.
[03:13] <rEvolution27> yes.. make sure the theme manager is set to compiz
[03:14] <rEvolution27> although it was always the compiz manager that killed my titlebars
[03:14] <sts9> doesnt compiz load its own theme?
[03:14] <rEvolution27> whenever I lost the titlebar with beryl it was because it was set to the wrong wondow manager
[03:14] <cj_> hello
[03:14] <phobiac> sts9: I'm not too sure, I've never used compiz. Only beryl.
[03:15] <cj_> jucato
[03:15] <sts9> well beryl and comiz are less then a year apart,  Im almost certain it is an issue with both
[03:15] <Jucato> cj_: hi
[03:15] <cj_> can you give a link in ph chanel
[03:15] <cj_> thanks
[03:15] <sts9> Im positive if beryl will work compiz will too.  the problem started with beryl
[03:15] <rEvolution27> I know onn beryl I right click on the jewel and choose select window manager>beryl
[03:16] <Jucato> cj_: just type /join #ubuntu-ph
[03:16] <cj_> thanks jucato
[03:16] <sts9> do I need the aquamarine theme?
[03:16] <rEvolution27> no
[03:17] <rEvolution27> I can't help you though since I know nothing about compiz
[03:17] <sts9> Feisty still has that adept upgrade to new release crash.  Synaptic is my new friend
[03:17] <sts9> ok Im gonna install beryl
[03:18] <rEvolution27> when I used compiz I got the problem you have, beryl worked fine
[03:18] <rEvolution27> I followed a guide to install beryl with AIGLX
[03:19] <phobiac> sts9: You have edgy?
[03:19] <phobiac> If so try this guide: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX
[03:20] <sts9> I have feisty
[03:20] <sts9> should it matteR?
[03:20] <phobiac> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_AIGLX
[03:20] <sts9> just as long as Im not using dapper I assume
[03:22] <rEvolution27> goodnight all
[03:24] <lengau> Hi everyone.

[03:42] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:43] <johny_> !audio|theshadow maybe can help

[04:15] <Gretl> look at your mixer if all settings allright
[04:16] <theshadow> Gretl: yea all the levels are fine and nothing is muted
[04:16] <Gretl> hm maybe you just restart the session if nothing very important is running
[04:17] <Gretl> try logging ou and in again
[04:17] <theshadow> Gretl: yea I've done that too but let me try it again
[04:17] <theshadow> brb

[05:05] <johny> surgy: what you mean?

[05:08] <johny> surgy: ok, try pointing it with mouse and then clicking with the RMB on it and choose "modify"
[05:09] <johny> surgy: I meant on the system tab ;)
[05:09] <surgy> johny: i dont think you know what your talking about, there is no modify
[05:10] <johny> surgy: in my system it is indeed
[05:11] <surgy> in your system........ what do you mean your system?
[05:11] <surgy> not kmenu
[05:11] <johny> surgy: klick on the kmenu then point over system, next click on it with right mouse button and choose modify this menu, or sth like that
[05:11] <surgy> the one NEXT to kmenu called system menu
[05:11] <surgy> johny, i dont want to modify kmenu i want to modify syetem menu
[05:12] <johny> surgy: ok, we got misunderstood
[05:12] <bitbyte> how do i get firefox into my fresh kubuntu 6.10  installation? adept shows firefox but it's greyed out

[05:13] <eulchen> Johny in your terminal try who  or w command to get info on users
[05:13] <surgy> johny: nevermind man.

[05:14] <johny> eulchen: thanks but I'd like to see accounts that are in the system not only logged users.
[05:15] <devilsadvocate> bitbyte, why dont you try to use the command line and apt-get :)
[05:15] <surgy> can someone tell me how to modfy the "System menu"  ?
[05:16] <surgy> bitbyte: its in the repos
[05:18] <surgy> no one knows how to modify the "system menu" ?
[05:19] <eulchen> Johny perhaps cat /etc/passwd helps more?
[05:19] <johny> eulchen: the unique option?
[05:20] <bitbyte> devilsadvocate just seems odd it shows up in add remove programs, but it's greyed out
[05:20] <LeeJunFan> surgy: right click the K menu icon and choose menu editor?
[05:20] <devilsadvocate> bitbyte, you might have to enable another repo oor something. did you run update?
[05:20] <LeeJunFan> surgy: nevermind - I see your previous now :(
[05:20] <devilsadvocate> LeeJunFan, that only edits the kmenu. not the system menu afaik
[05:21] <LeeJunFan> surgy: Don't think that can be modified - it's in the source, it's an applet rather than a real "menu" per se.
[05:21] <julio> HELLO
[05:21] <johny> julio: hey
[05:21] <surgy> leejunfan: well that sucks
[05:22] <devilsadvocate> surgy, i'm sure there must be a way to modify. you could google around a bit.

[05:23] <bitbyte> hope springs eternal devilsadvocate
[05:24] <bitbyte> hehe
[05:24] <LeeJunFan> johny: not the system button on the taskbar, to the system menu yes. The thing surgy is talking about is the system applet you can add to the taskbar.

[05:26] <surgy> julio what do you need?
[05:26] <julio> somebody to tallk
[05:26] <LeeJunFan> johny: the system applet, which is a button on the taskbar, as opposed to the system menu which is in the k-menu.
[05:27] <johey> devilsadvocate: I'm not really sure that was for me.
[05:27] <surgy> johny: lol its an application that opens into a menu on the taskbar next to the kde menu button which is in the botttom left hand corner the system menu is just to the right of that
[05:27] <devilsadvocate> johey, it was. that is the system menu

[05:48] <mbelleza> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4375/
[05:49] <devilsadvocate> ernie, if you want to search the text files the fastest way in the short term iis to mount and do a recursive grep
[05:50] <ernie> ahh ok - the ole fashioned way
[05:50] <devilsadvocate> ernie, if you want a long term soulution, look at beagle
[05:51] <devilsadvocate> problem with beagle is it takes time for it to crawl, so it wont work especially well on smaba shares
[05:51] <ernie> devilsadvocate: ok thanks - shall do
[05:52] <devilsadvocate> ernie, btw, beagle has a gui for kde called kerry and another called yabi .. you dont _have_ to use the gtk one it ships with

[05:56] <jean-b> the most intersting software is skype?
[05:56] <Dr_willis> jean-b,  pc to pc calling.. or pc to real phone?
[05:57] <jean-b> pc to real phone
[05:57] <devilsadvocate> !xampp
[05:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xampp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:57] <deathnote> devilsadvocate: yea i got a php in my server which suppose to read another file.. if i set read access to "others" then it can read..but if i off it it couldn't read
[05:57] <Dr_willis> scype costs money for that now - i belive.
[05:57] <deathnote> devilsadvocate: so now i trying to find out which user is accessing it so i can add in the group
[05:57] <jean-b> yes i know, but it is still good prices
[05:57] <devilsadvocate> deathnote, you have the server software then?
[05:57] <devilsadvocate> ah
[05:58] <devilsadvocate> deathnote, i suppost that would depend on the user that is running apache/php
[05:58] <jean-b> Dr_willis: do you know a free service to call pc to phone?
[05:58] <devilsadvocate> deathnote, i believe usually that is root or a daemon
[05:58] <deathnote> yeah...
[05:58] <deathnote> OHH
[05:58] <deathnote> daemon
[05:58] <deathnote> lemme try
[05:58] <Dr_willis> jean-b,  nope.
[05:58] <mbelleza> hi..deathnote....
[05:59] <geniusvicks> how do I enable java in konqueror?
[05:59] <Dr_willis> !java
[05:59] <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
[05:59] <Dr_willis> install it.. restart konwueror.. and it should see it.
[05:59] <johny> mbelleza: you have to find good mplayer repository...
[06:00] <jean-b> thanx Dr_willis
[06:00] <jean-b> chao
[06:00] <johny> mbelleza: the package you have to install is "mplayer"
[06:02] <deathnote> wow.. thanks a million!!! its daemon
[06:02] <surgy> mbelleza: do you know how to enable repositorys?
[06:02] <deathnote> i added daemon into my video group.. and restarted apache..it worked
[06:02] <johny> someone knows where to find a good mplayer repository?
[06:02] <surgy> mbelleza: if so then make sure all your repositorys are enabled then "sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:03] <ForgeAus> hey all
[06:03] <ForgeAus> um having a little bit of trouble again
[06:03] <surgy> hey forgeaus
[06:03] <surgy> !ask
[06:03] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:03] <devilsadvocate> np deathnote
[06:03] <surgy> :)
[06:03] <ForgeAus> trying to use ark to copy a file... but like always I have root priveleges problems
[06:03] <mbelleza> in synaptic right?
[06:03] <ForgeAus> how do I run ark from within ark as su?
[06:04] <johny> mbelleza: yeh but not only
[06:04] <johny> mbelleza: try from synaptic
[06:04] <Dr_willis> ksudo ark or whatever the thing is
[06:04] <Jucato> ForgeAus: kdesu ark
[06:04] <Dr_willis> kdesu ?  i always forget
[06:05] <Jucato> Dr_willis: huh?
[06:05] <Jucato> lol
[06:05] <ForgeAus> I wish if it come across something like "you do not have the priveleges to do that"  it'd just come up a password window instead of forcign me to quit the app backtrack to where I come from, run the program from console with kdesu infront of it each time
[06:05] <surgy> forgeaus: cp [file directory and file]   [the directory and file to copy it to]   like this "cp /user/home/file  /user/home/storage/file"
[06:05] <Dr_willis> bbl
[06:06] <mbelleza> johny: there's alot of mplayer-doc, mozilla-mplayer
[06:06] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,   figure out a way of doing that then....
[06:06] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  its a lot harder task then it seems.
[06:06] <ForgeAus> I think running sudo mc in console is the best file manager!
[06:06] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  from what i hear Windows Vista has a simile rfeature to that.. and its constantly nagging people.
[06:06] <ForgeAus> the gui ones you need to set up a root mode one for...
[06:06] <mbelleza> what would i enable???
[06:06] <johny> mbelleza: mbelleza : try to find "mplayer" without nothing
[06:06] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  thats EXactly   what i use.. mc in a terminal.
[06:06] <ForgeAus> Dr Willis yeah I heard
[06:07] <mbelleza> theres no mplayer
[06:07] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  given the Amount of spyware/malware out there.. i think limiting users.. is a good thing
[06:07] <Dr_willis> !info mplayer
[06:07] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3461 kB, installed size 8624 kB
[06:07] <ForgeAus> Dr Willis I just wish there was a gui app that I could drag and drop files and not have things constantly complain I can't do this because of root priveleges with no way to get around it but exit the app and rerun it
[06:07] <geniusvicks> how do I enable java in konqueror?
[06:07] <ForgeAus> (as a diff user)
[06:07] <johny> mbelleza: what wersion of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:07] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  amazing thing is.. for me.. i rarely have to do ANYTHING as root user  these days...
[06:08] <mbelleza> im using kubuntu
[06:08] <Dr_willis> ForgeAus,  perhaps edit a /etc/ file every once in a while...
[06:08] <ForgeAus> Dr Willis ur lucky then
[06:08] <ForgeAus> yeah them too
[06:08] <ForgeAus> like my fstab
[06:08] <Dr_willis> but i got the system setup..  and it just runs and runs.. :)
[06:08] <ForgeAus> and stuff
[06:08] <mbelleza> 6
[06:08] <ForgeAus> I'm not so concerned about the system if it falls over I got support here and the LiveCD to help get it back up
[06:09] <johny> mbelleza: ok, but which one "Edgy Eft" "Dapper"?
[06:09] <johny> !Dapper
[06:09] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th release of Ubuntu.  Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake".
[06:09] <johny> !Dapper|mbelezza
[06:09] <ubotu> mbelezza: please see above
[06:09] <johny> !Edgy|mbelezza

[06:10] <ernie> devilsadvocate: I solved the problem by mounting the share and searching through that - Its now finding things :)
[06:10] <devilsadvocate> Dr_willis, then i would say you arent having enough fun :P
[06:10] <devilsadvocate> ernie, searching using?
[06:10] <Dr_willis> devilsadvocate,  off to play some Oblivion i think. :) i got the game.. and havent played it much.. byeeee. :)
[06:10] <ernie> konqueror - it has trouble do a content search on a samba share
[06:11] <surgy> mbelleza: what is the problem your having exactly?
[06:11] <devilsadvocate> ernie, ah. great :P
[06:11] <ernie> its all good when its mounted
[06:11] <devilsadvocate> :)
[06:11] <ForgeAus> well kinda feisty is the latest but its still in alpha (or is it beta) mode
[06:11] <ForgeAus> Iv'e never heard of a delta or gamma app... lol
[06:11] <matt0507> my search feature from the kmenu doesnt work, i even specfied a folder full of that porn files and when i clicked search it finds nothing, but when i try locate: in konqueror it works fine,anyone know whats wrong with the search feture?
[06:12] <ernie> beagle was going to be a real bugga to install - went for the path of least hair pulling :)
[06:12] <mbelleza> surgy: i want to view my .flv video...
[06:13] <surgy> !.flv
[06:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <mbelleza> i cant update this computer..coz its not mine..this is own by our company
[06:14] <devilsadvocate> ForgeAus, its alpha. and there is no gamma or delta
[06:14] <surgy> mbelleza: do this for me: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:14] <johny> mbelleza: look here :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-8a18d4250a1c368b58239ba0d6fcc4e5639fa42f
[06:14] <surgy> mbelleza: and then got to www.pastebin.ca and paste everything out of that window and then give me the url of the paste so that i can look at it and see if you need a repo or you have errors
[06:15] <mbelleza> ok..tanx to all
[06:15] <mbelleza> tanx to johny..surgy...ubotu....
[06:17] <johny> mbelleza: is everything ok now?
[06:18] <ForgeAus> hmmm why doesn't ark automatically run kdesu for me? when it comes across a privileges thing?
[06:18] <surgy> mbelleza: its working now?
[06:18] <hardtofindanick> for some odd reason katapult doesn't work all of a sudden
[06:18] <hardtofindanick> any ideas anyone?
[06:18] <ForgeAus> if I don't have or know the pass then I don't get in... thats fine no trouble there..
[06:18] <mbelleza> not yet...
[06:18] <ernie> hardtofindanick: is the rubber band broken?
[06:18] <hardtofindanick> ernie: rubber band?
[06:19] <johny> mbelleza: now you know how to make it work?
[06:19] <ernie> well thats more suited to a sling shot :)
[06:19] <mbelleza> yah..but il try...
[06:19] <johny> someone who's got "mplayer" in the repos could paste all the link ready to be pasted do sources.list. It could help
[06:20] <hardtofindanick> ernie: what is a rubber band?
[06:20] <bill57785> http://www.psp-programming.com/code/doku.php?id=c:tool_chain_on_linux
[06:20] <bill57785> how do I get the packages it mentions I need to install
[06:20] <surgy> johny: do you know what your doing? becuase that last sentence didnt make any sense
[06:20] <ernie> hardtofindanick: dont worry - it was my poor attempt at being funny
[06:20] <devilsadvocate> mplayer is in universe/main/multiverse i believe. all i did was to uncomment the lines to install more or less everything i needed
[06:21] <hardtofindanick> ernie: sorry, I just didn't get it :$
[06:21] <hardtofindanick> ernie: anyway, any ideas?
[06:21] <bill57785> everytime I got to install something, it always give me that commend to put in, but then it tells me those files dont exist so it cant be installed
[06:21] <johny> surgy: why? We need only alink from someone's repos to "mplayer" package, am I right?
[06:22] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, details of the problem?
[06:22] <surgy> johny: no
[06:22] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: well, Alt-Space all of a sudden doesn't bring up katapult anymore
[06:22] <johny> surgy: explain then
[06:22] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: if I type katapult in the console, I get the message that it is running
[06:22] <surgy> johny: a link to someones repos package mplayer doesnt make any sense a repository is where you get your packages from and in this case the package is called mplayer
[06:22] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: but it doesn't work
[06:23] <word> Hobbsee: I changed some things in the bios including forcing the memory to ddr400 which got it to just above my old performance i'm going to upgrade to fiesty (have no patience ;p) and see if that does even more for it.
[06:23] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, i'd say the problem is with your keybindings and not katapult
[06:23] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: why did the key bindings change all of a sudden?
[06:23] <surgy> johny: and sense the package is called "mplayer" and he has all of his repositorys activated then all he has to do is "sudo apt-get install mplayer" and it will download and install the package mplayer as root
[06:23] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: how do I change them back?
[06:23] <johny> surgy: didn't get it, sorry
[06:23] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, look at the katapult settings and anything where you may have edited the keybinding
[06:24] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: you are talking to a newbie, how do I get to the katapult settings?
[06:24] <johny> surgy: but he's already tried to do it and apt-get broke
[06:24] <ernie> hardtofindanick: when you get your katapault running - try running from within your KDE - it bings up a picture of a slingshot for some reason :)
[06:24] <bill57785> anyone at all that can help me?
[06:25] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, most kde applications have their settings in one of the menus on the top of the window, called 'configure k****'
[06:25] <johny> surgy: the problem was she/he didn't have "mplayer" package after apt-cache search --names-only
[06:25] <surgy> johny: lol you should look into it, and "apt-get broke" doesnt work well here its too vague. you need to use pastebin and give us errors to look at
[06:25] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick,otherwise maybe you can rightclick and try
[06:25] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: but what am I clicking on? katapult just runs in the background doesn't it?
[06:26] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, i havent used katapult much :) . doesnt it open a window of some sort?
[06:26] <johny> surgy: I know it's already've been pasted
[06:26] <devilsadvocate> you say it works from the terminal?
[06:26] <surgy> johny: that means that he is missing the required repository in /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:26] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: no, it just shows the box that it is running
[06:27] <johny> surgy: hi man, high time
[06:27] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, then right click on the box
[06:27] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: its just a tooltip, it doesnt' give any options
[06:27] <johny> surgy: I proposed to give to msbelezza one's repos with good directions to mplayer
[06:27] <hardtofindanick> devilsadvocate: try it, type katapult in the console and you'll see
[06:28] <johny> surgy: If i'm not right, correct me it's perfectly ok to me.
[06:28] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, try folling around with thaat icon - click, double click, right click. thats basicaly where you can access it now. if not, try to restart your computer.. it_might_ help
[06:28] <devilsadvocate> s/folling/fooling
[06:28] <Fenix-Dark> hi
[06:29] <hardtofindanick> brb
[06:29] <devilsadvocate> hardtofindanick, not on kde now
[06:29] <Fenix-Dark> is that kwireless setup utility kubuntu only?
[06:29] <surgy> johny: i was told not to do that, by someone i forgot who, but if you accidently gave them a bad repo or something of that nature you could screw everything up
[06:29] <zakame> afternoon all
[06:30] <johny> surgy: ah ok, is there any solution to that, I tried to find mplayer's repos on the web. Maybe you know a page?
[06:30] <specialbuddy> how do I change the kdm them
[06:31] <Jucato> !changethemes | specialbuddy
[06:31] <ubotu> specialbuddy: [Ubuntu]  Install gnome-themes or go to menu, system settings, appearance. [KDE]  For a good KDE guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu
[06:31] <zakame> for great justice
[06:32] <surgy> johny: it should be in the multiverse universe or restricted modules, they are allready in your sources.list you just need to uncomment them
[06:32] <Jucato> zakame: ??
[06:32] <Jucato> zakame: wrong channel? :P
[06:32] <johny> mbelleza: have you got all the repositories unblocked?
[06:32] <zakame> Jucato: no, just agreeing with ubotu :P
[06:32] <Jucato> lol
[06:33] <johny> surgy: yeah but mbelezza doesn't know what version of kubuntu is using...
[06:33] <johny> surgy: any way to find that out?
[06:33] <surgy> when did he download it?
[06:34] <mbelleza> no
[06:34] <Jucato> "lsb_release -a"
[06:34] <johny> surgy: I was going to ask if sh's here
[06:34] <johny> mbelleza: when did you download Kubuntu?
[06:35] <specialbuddy> so what is fiesty going to have that edgy doesn't?
[06:35] <mbelleza> last december 2006
[06:35] <devilsadvocate> specialbuddy, kde3.5.6 for starters
[06:35] <johny> Jucato: thanks
[06:35] <surgy> if he downloaded recently he has kubuntu edgy 6.10
[06:36] <Jucato> mbelleza: try running this command in Konsole to see your Kubuntu version: lsb_release -a
[06:36] <surgy> mbelleza: maybe its time to get the new cd image?
[06:36] <devilsadvocate> surgy, that isnt entirely necessary. dapper and edgy are show side by side ...
[06:36] <johny> mbelleza: paste this in your terminal and tell us what comes out lsb_release -a
[06:36] <mbelleza> johny: ok
[06:36] <specialbuddy> devilsadvocate, what's good about that?
[06:36] <mbelleza> johny: 6.06
[06:37] <devilsadvocate> specialbuddy, its newer. a few less bugs, a few more features

[06:37] <manchicken> There are still some serious issues.
[06:37] <surgy> devilsadvocate: when i first tried linux it was on dapper, and i found it a bit harder, for some reason but it might just be me

[06:38] <Mena> what is the deffrent between  beryl  with XGL and beryl with AIGLX
[06:38] <johny> mbelleza: you're using dapper, remember that Kubuntu Dapper

[06:38] <manchicken> Okay, bed time.
[06:39] <mbelleza> yes
[06:39] <johny> surgy: she's using dapper, does it change sth?
[06:39] <surgy> johny: not sure on that one
[06:39] <surgy> johny: to be honest i dont know what sth is
[06:40] <neil> anyone know if there is a shockwave player for linux?

[06:40] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[06:41] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, open up a terminal, type "sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list" . in the text file that opens up, remove the '#' from the beginning of all pf the lines that start with the word "deb"
[06:41] <neil> ok where do i get wine>
[06:41] <surgy> johny it means he is using an old version, if he upgrades to edgy he will have the latest version with the latest stable security fixes and software support
[06:41] <devilsadvocate> neil, look at gFlashPlayer
[06:41] <devilsadvocate> surgy, that is not true. dapper is LTS
[06:41] <surgy> neil: sudo apt-get install wine
[06:41] <neil> i am using kubuntu 6.10
[06:42] <surgy> devilsadvocate: johny: i stand currected
[06:42] <johny> surgy: so apt-get dist-upgrade . right?
[06:43] <surgy> johny: i have never done an upgrade i backup everything and then download the new live cd burn it and reinstall
[06:43] <neil> says apt command not found
[06:43] <surgy> johny: devilsadvocate knows way more than i do about this and he said your fine with dapper
[06:43] <Jucato> neil: it's "sudo apt-get install wine"
[06:43] <surgy> neil: audo apt-get install wine                 make sure it is exact
[06:44] <surgy> sudo*
[06:44] <surgy> man i cant type
[06:44] <johny> devilsadvocate: I was thinking of givig to mbelezza this http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[06:44] <neil> package wine has no installation canidate
[06:44] <johny> surgy: Ok
[06:45] <sts9> alright, anyone have issues with amarok 1.4.5 and their iPod?  just talked to the amarok people and they said it updated its libgpod requirements to .0.4.2     Im using feisty and still its 0.4.0  so thats prob why its not working
[06:45] <ForgeAus> what glibc has kubuntu edgy got?
[06:45] <mbelleza> johny: all the lines that strt with deb has no # at the beginning
[06:45] <ForgeAus> 2.3.2?
[06:45] <sts9> so Im assuming the edgy people could have the same problem
[06:45] <johny> mbelleza: which is perfectly fine
[06:45] <devilsadvocate> johny, sure. but i dont think its necessary
[06:46] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, 'all' of them?
[06:46] <johny> devilsadvocate: no, now i know that she's got all the repos unblocked
[06:46] <mbelleza> johny: yap....
[06:46] <wheatie> glibc-2.3.6-2
[06:46] <surgy> neil: you need to add your repos
[06:46] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, do "sudo apt-get update"
[06:46] <mbelleza> ok
[06:47] <neil> i am doing the update thing
[06:47] <johny> mbelleza: and then try to install mplayer by sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:47] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, johny then do "sudo apt-get install mplayer" and post the errors on pastebin

[06:50] <devilsadvocate> neil, s/source/sources
[06:50] <neil> sounds good how do i edit the file?
[06:50] <mbelleza> johny:
[06:50] <mbelleza> johny: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4381/
[06:51] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4381/
[06:51] <devilsadvocate> neil, sudo kate (or nano or vi) <filename>
[06:51] <mbelleza> that is my sources.list
[06:51] <neil> ok thank you
[06:51] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, that list can cause serious breakage, you are using dapper / hoary / warty all at the same time
[06:52] <surgy> lol
[06:52] <surgy> not good
[06:52] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, remove the last line from your sources.list
[06:52] <neil> its still doing the upgrade so i will have to wait
[06:52] <surgy> devilsadvocate: does edgy automaticly back up the sources.list?
[06:53] <devilsadvocate> surgy, edgy is a distribution. it has nothing todo with backing up the list
[06:53] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: ill just put # sign to the last line..is it ok??
[06:53] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, sure. while you're at it., i'd suggest doing the same for the 2nd last line
[06:54] <surgy> devilsadvocate: i was refering to the kubuntu operating system, sorry for the bad use of proper words.
[06:54] <devilsadvocate> surgy, still incorrect. its the app which edits the list that should back it up.
[06:55] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: im afraid it will cause damage to the compt
[06:55] <neil> how often should i run this update thing?
[06:55] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: this is not mine...this is company's unit
[06:55] <surgy> oh
[06:55] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, the last line you can remove safely
[06:55] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: but wat about the last second line??
[06:55] <surgy> devilsadvocate: it whould be nice if it was incorperated into the OS though along with fstab and xorge. so that we could have restore points :)
[06:56] <devilsadvocate> the 2nd last one is a non-standard repo, and i dont know which packages you are using from it
[06:56] <devilsadvocate> mbelleza, ok. leave the 2nd last as is.
[06:56] <johny> devilsadvocate: she's got multiverse category in backports, is it correct
[06:57] <mbelleza> devilsadvocate: ok try...hope this will work
[06:57] <devilsadvocate> i guess. its unlikely she added it herself
[06:58] <devilsadvocate> johey, it might be easier and safer to give her the sources.list generator
[06:58] <devilsadvocate> there is some insane breakage here
[06:58] <johny> devilsadvocate: i thought so
[06:58] <surgy> neil: after you do the big update adept will tell you when the smaller updates are available
[06:58] <johey> devilsadvocate: Still, I don't see how I am involved. ;)
[06:59] <rexbron> !sshfs
[06:59] <ubotu> sshfs: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6-1 (edgy), package size 29 kB, installed size 116 kB
[06:59] <johny> mbelleza: go to http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ and try to generate the file filling all the matches
[06:59] <neil> how long does this update thing take>
[07:00] <johny> mbelleza: your release is 6.06 Dapper
[07:00] <neil> no 6.10 edgy
[07:00] <neil> sorry thought you were talking to me
[07:00] <johny> neil: np
[07:00] <surgy> gaim can chat with msn clients right?
[07:01] <surgy> i dont like kopete
[07:01] <neil> i use kopete is gaim better?
[07:01] <surgy> neil: its personal preference
[07:01] <neil> i see
[07:02] <rexbron> hey I am having some trouble with sshfs
[07:02] <neil> kopete is the only one i have tried so i guess its my preference. lol
[07:02] <rexbron> I am mounting it to /media/rampage
[07:02] <johny> for me kopete has all , but surgy is right- personal preference
[07:02] <rexbron> but I get this:
[07:02] <rexbron> root@mayhem:/media# cd rampage
[07:02] <rexbron> bash: cd: rampage: Permission denied
[07:02] <rexbron> wft
[07:02] <rexbron> or rather wtf ftw
[07:03] <surgy> rexbron: your permissions on the mount point are set to where root cant read it?
[07:04] <johny> mbelleza: you know how is your computer architecture?
[07:05] <neil> how long does this update thing take?
[07:05] <surgy> neil:depends on your hardware and i-net connection
[07:05] <neil> its at get:62 do you know how far it goes?
[07:06] <rexbron> surgy: cd claimes that it is not a dir, even though I just mkdir'd it and then tries to sshfs to mount on it
[07:06] <surgy> neil: nope it told you how many packages close to the beginning
[07:06] <neil> oh i must have missed it. i will scroll back and look.
[07:06] <surgy> rexbaron: sorry i dont know anything about that, my first assumption was a guess at best
[07:06] <neil> i feel so dumb. lol
[07:07] <mbelleza> johny: what's that for?????
[07:07] <neil> holy 103 packages
[07:07] <johny> mbelleza: what you mean ?
[07:07] <surgy> neil: and your on 62 :)
[07:08] <neil> well 68 now
[07:08] <surgy> neil: over halfway
[07:08] <johny> mbelleza: i send you a link to sources generator
[07:08] <neil> ya it should be done by morning
[07:08] <neil> lol
[07:08] <surgy> neil: are you on dial up?
[07:08] <neil> how often do you do this upgrade thing
[07:08] <neil> every day or when?
[07:10] <surgy> neil: adept will tell you when updates are needed
[07:10] <surgy> neil: consider this first long upgrade like windows xp getting sp2
[07:10] <neil> what is adept?
[07:10] <Mena> !kdm theme
[07:10] <ubotu> kdm: X display manager for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 611 kB, installed size 1480 kB
[07:10] <neil> i see
[07:10] <surgy> adept is the package manager that is defualt on kubuntu, it is the gui way of doing what you are doing now
[07:11] <neil> i can do this upgrade through the gui and dont have to do it through the terminal window?
[07:11] <mbelleza> johny: i copied the sources.list which is the multimedia package..but error occurs looking for mplayer package
[07:12] <surgy> neil: yes, but if it takes a long time i whould suggest using the terminal. i find adept to be a little unstable, so if its not just a quick download i use terminal
[07:13] <neil> ok i will remember that. thank you for the info
[07:13] <surgy> no problem
[07:15] <neil> can i run 2 terminal windows at the same time? like edit the source file and do the upgrade together?
[07:15] <surgy> neil: yes
[07:15] <neil> it wont hurt anything?
[07:16] <surgy> neil: but if you try to access apt again it will be locked
[07:16] <neil> oh so you cant use the same command at the same time but you can use anyother command
[07:16] <surgy> and i might be wrong here but i think you can only sudo one instance of a given file at a time
[07:17] <surgy> for instance you cant sudo kate /user/home/poop in one window and do it again in another but i might be wrong
[07:17] <neil> ok no prob but i can do the update and sudo kate the source file at the same time
[07:17] <surgy> but you can sudo kate [another file besides poop]
[07:17] <Jucato> kdesu kate
[07:17] <surgy> i whouldnt
[07:17] <Jucato> !kdesu
[07:17] <Jucato> bot lag...
[07:17] <ubotu> In KDE, use  kdesu  to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Do *not* use  sudo <GUI application> ; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo
[07:17] <johny_> mbelleza: how's going there?
[07:17] <surgy> oh
[07:18] <surgy> neil: dont chnage your sources.list while apt is using it thats bad
[07:18] <neil> ok so wait till the update is done
[07:19] <surgy> i whould
[07:19] <neil> ok well i am going to leave it work by itsself and i am going to go to bed. i will see it tomorrow when its done.
[07:19] <surgy> ok good night
[07:19] <neil> thank all you people for your help.
[07:20] <neil> i will learn eventually. i just installed yesterday and finished today so i am very new to this/
[07:20] <SovietKid> is there a way to intergrate konversation with firefox, so when i click an irc link it opens in knoversation?
[07:20] <SovietKid> konversation*
[07:21] <surgy> neil: i am still a noob, and everyone here was once
[07:21] <neil> well thanks again and have a great night.
[07:22] <surgy> sovietkid: not that i know of, but i think there are irc plug ins for firefox, also you might look at opera, it has a nice irc client and bitt torrent client built in
[07:22] <SovietKid> okay thanks
[07:22] <SovietKid> ill look into it
[07:28] <surgy> good night slaves of linus, and sweet dreams........

[07:33] <shdwghst457> to a terrible bluish screen that tells me something's wrong with the xorg.conf file (emac display is an unusual dimension)

[07:44] <Jucato> Mena: ?
[07:44] <Mena> jucato, yes ahh.. what is the command for installing kdm
[07:44] <Mena> what its name
[07:44] <Mena> kdm theme ?
[07:44] <Jucato> !kdmtheme
[07:44] <ubotu> kdmtheme: theme manager for KDM. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.2-1 (edgy), package size 100 kB, installed size 264 kB
[07:44] <Jucato> that one?
[07:44] <Jucato> KDM is already installed by default.
[07:45] <Jucato> kdmtheme is a GUI KDM Theme manager
[07:45] <Mena> no no the login screen manager
[07:45] <Jucato> Mena: did you remove it?
[07:45] <Mena> jucato, no
[07:45] <Jucato> Mena: what are you trying to do?
[07:45] <Mena> jucato, i wanted ti install new login screen and i forget the name
[07:46] <Jucato> kdmtheme
[07:46] <jordo23> Jucato: Do you know of a KDE/QT paint program that supports .TGA?  For second life?
[07:46] <Jucato> it lets you add new KDM themes
[07:46] <Jucato> KDM = login screen
[07:46] <Mena> jucato, okay
[07:46] <Jucato> jordo23: not really sure. can't open with Krita?
[07:46] <jordo23> Jucato: Can't save to that format in Krita...
[07:47] <ForgeAus> so instead of the purple login screen you can alter it to look like other things
[07:47] <Jucato> jordo23: try export?
[07:47] <jordo23> Does installing the Gimp install the entire GTK library?
[07:47] <jordo23> No....will try now...
[07:47] <ForgeAus> ark linux is interesting
[07:47] <ForgeAus> uses kynaptic
[07:47] <Saints> im in using kubuntu in feisty ...how do you get the taskbar to show apps from only that desktop....rather than all desktops?
[07:47] <ForgeAus> and introduced me to platero (ala kde mldonkey front end)
[07:48] <Jucato> Saints: right-click on the panel -> Configure Panel -> Taskbar options
[07:48] <jordo23> Jucato: Nope....cant export in Krita to .tga....
[07:48] <Mena> jucato, the utiltie to add new one wich i was can open from Kcontrol>>>appearnce>>KDM theme
[07:48] <Jucato> jordo23: not really sure what else there is.... alhough it might due to a bug in KOffice 1.6.x

[07:48] <Jucato> Mena: kdmtheme
[07:48] <Saints> jucato.....i dont see an option for that in the in taskbar options....
[07:49] <Jucato> Mena: also, it's KControl - Administration -> KDM Theme Manager
[07:49] <jordo23> !FrostWire
[07:49] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[07:49] <Saints> just sort alphabetically, minimized windows, application icons, window list button
[07:49] <Jucato> Saints: [ ]  Show windows from all desktops?
[07:49] <Jucato> Saints: do you have a taskbar at all?
[07:49] <Saints> sure
[07:49] <Mena> jucato , why i cant install it
[07:49] <Jucato> the taskbar applet, I mean
[07:49] <Jucato> Mena: what do you mean?
[07:50] <Mena> jucato , last time used it ....to use it i installed that utiltie to change the login
[07:50] <Jucato> Mena: yes. I know. what do you mean "can't install it"
[07:50] <Jucato> Saints: the Panel is not the taskbar, so you might have a panel, but no taskbar applet
[07:50] <Saints> ah how do i get the taskbar applet?
[07:51] <Mena> jucato, yes and i know that but how i try too many ways of commands
[07:51] <Jucato> Mena: sudo apt-get install kdmtheme
[07:51] <Jucato> Mena: or use Adept
[07:51] <Jucato> Saints: right-click on the panel -> Add Applet to Panel -> look for Taskbar and click Add to Panel
[07:52] <Mena> he couldnt find it do i need to add repos
[07:53] <Jucato> Mena: make sure universe is enabled
[07:53] <Mena> okay
[07:53] <Saints> hmm i tried that and i do have a taskbar...i can see icons for opened apps on the taskbar...but it shows all the apps from all desktops...
[07:53] <Mena> i didnt guess that it would be the reason ..ok
[07:53] <Jucato> Saints: now look at the Taskbar options again
[07:54] <Saints> right click configure panel - taskbar ...i have 4 boxes i can check (alphabetically, minimized windows, application icons, window list button)
[07:55] <Jucato> Saints: hm... strange...
[07:55] <Saints> along with gruop similar task, appearance, and actions for left, middle and right button
[07:55] <Saints> yeah...maybe chane in feisty?
[07:55] <Jucato> might be a bug in feisty. in any case, try asking in #ubuntu+1
[07:55] <Saints> i havent used kde in awhile..been using gnome..but using kde again...usually right click and taskbar option ...has that for show all windows
[07:55] <Saints> thanks
[07:56] <n8k99> so now ./configure can not find kde
[07:56] <Jucato> Saints: why using feisty?
[07:56] <Jucato> n8k99: install kde-devel
[07:56] <n8k99> yeah thought you were gonna say that!
[07:56] <Jucato> :P
[07:57] <n8k99> :P your self ;-)
[07:57] <Mena> jucato ,Yoy use beryl right
[07:58] <Mena> jucato ,You*
[07:58] <Jucato> Mena: no
[07:58] <Saints> ah ...i dont know...i like it so far :)
[07:58] <Mena> jucato ,okay
[07:58] <Saints> i dual boot with edgy...but use feisty more these days
[07:59] <Mena> cool you can use the both
[07:59] <Jucato> Saints: given that feisty is still alpha, a lot of things are bound to be broken/missing/not working properly
[07:59] <Saints> gotcha....
[07:59] <Jucato> so it shouldn't come as a surprise. all that's needed is to confirm/report bugs, in #ubuntu+1
[07:59] <Saints> im just hoping they didnt disable that feature...it would be dumb
[08:00] <Jucato> of course they didn't/won't
[08:00] <Jucato> it's obviously a bug
[08:01] <Saints> im thinking a bug just wouldn't work...not have that option completely gone
[08:01] <Saints> but i hope you're right jucato
[08:01] <Jucato> n8k99: heh, unfortunately, karma has been a bit reduced
[08:01] <Jucato> Saints: bug = anything that makes a program not work the way it's supposed to
[08:01] <n8k99> yeah, they was compounding it daily!
[08:01] <Jucato> otherwise, we call it a "feature" :)
[08:02] <ForgeAus> lol
[08:03] <ForgeAus> karma?
[08:03] <Jucato> Launchpad thingy
[08:03] <n8k99> sort of like nerdpoints
[08:03] <ForgeAus> ohhh kay... dunno much about it
[08:05] <ForgeAus> fiesty should get mldonkey and platero... easier than installing the manual way like I've been trying to
[08:06] <ForgeAus> !mldonkey
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mldonkey - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:21] <geno-irssi> is anyone around?
[08:23] <geno-irssi> anyone awake mind helping me?
[08:24] <malik> geno-irssi: whats goin on?
[08:25] <orient2000> can you tell me your problem? I just loged in.
[08:25] <geno-irssi> for some reason, whenever im in the console
[08:26] <geno-irssi> (either log on console, or press ctrl-alt-fx)
[08:26] <geno-irssi> like not in x
[08:26] <geno-irssi> i have lines going horizontally down my screen
[08:26] <geno-irssi> and im not sure why :/
[08:27] <malik> have u tried restarting x server?
[08:27] <geno-irssi> yea, but I dont think thats it
[08:27] <geno-irssi> considering im not in x
[08:27] <geno-irssi> x runs fine
[08:27] <geno-irssi> its just in the fullscreen console :/
[08:29] <geno-irssi> i know its not a lot of information :/
[08:29] <geno-irssi> i figured i would give it a try
[08:29] <orient2000> what kind of lines? letters? text? or just lines?
[08:30] <geno-irssi> just lines really
[08:30] <geno-irssi> as you can see im in irssi...
[08:30] <geno-irssi> and it has the blue header at the top
[08:30] <geno-irssi> so there are blue lines going all the way down my screen
[08:31] <geno-irssi> if im not in irssi, then there are black lines going down the screen :/
[08:31] <orient2000> maybe it is wrong frequency of a monitor. Do you have auto button on yor monitor? try lower the resolution...
[08:32] <geno-irssi> laptop screen
[08:32] <geno-irssi> hmm
[08:32] <orient2000> lower the resolution
[08:32] <geno-irssi> how can I lower it from console
[08:32] <geno-irssi> ?
[08:33] <orient2000> lower from desktop and then try console
[08:33] <orient2000> goto system settings
[08:34] <orient2000> and then to monitor
[08:35] <geno-irssi> well the resolution in x is fine :/
[08:36] <orient2000> maybe is fine but driver maybe can not handle correctly. Maybe be you have to correct refreshing frequency of a screen.
[08:37] <orient2000> If you lower resolution to 480x768 and problem disapear that mens you have this problem.
[08:38] <geno-irssi> ah
[08:38] <deathnote> i've got this error kernel: saa7134[0] /audio: audio carrier scan failed, using 5.500 MHz [default]
[08:38] <geno-irssi> alrighty
[08:38] <geno-irssi> ill give it a try
[08:38] <geno-irssi> also deathnote is great :)
[08:38] <geno-irssi> thanks orient2000
[08:39] <deathnote> what does it mean? my /dev/ doesn't have saa7134[0]
[08:40] <orient2000> about saa7134. This is a v4l2/OSS device driver for saa7130/34 based capture / TV ... Note that the saa7134 driver also is included in the 2.6.x kernels. ...
[08:44] <dinosaur-rus> hi
[08:47] <Ch1ppy> Hello, I just installed Kubuntu and I don't have any sound, which is strange because my previous install (Ubuntu 6.06 upgraded to 6.10 with KDE installed) had great sound.  Can anyone help me out?
[08:47] <Alzi2> How to play FLV files on kubuntu?
[08:47] <deathnote> hi sir, i'm using 2.4.20-xfs kernel for my machine..hehe
[08:47] <dinosaur-rus> Alzi2: use mplayer
[08:48] <Alzi2> Isn't there any codec for it? I mean.. for kaffeine?
[08:48] <dinosaur-rus> Ch1ppy: does testing in KDE Control Center work?
[08:48] <deathnote> [15:40]  <orient2000> about saa7134. This is a v4l2/OSS device driver for saa7130/34 based capture / TV ... Note that the saa7134 driver also is included in the 2.6.x kernels. ... <-- i'm using a 2.4.20-xfs ..what should i do?
[08:48] <Ch1ppy> dinosaur-rus: nope
[08:48] <dinosaur-rus> Alzi2: oh... I don't use Kaffeine :P
[08:49] <Jucato> Alzi2: if you have mplayer installed, you can let Kaffeine use mplayer as the engine instead of xine. not sure if that will let you play .flv in kaffeine
[08:49] <Alzi2> Jucato: Oh, that's neato!
[08:49] <dinosaur-rus> Ch1ppy: hmm
[08:50] <Ch1ppy> dinosaur-rus: my thoughts exactly :)
[08:51] <dinosaur-rus> Ch1ppy: what device is seleted in KDE (Hardware tab in sound settings)?
[08:52] <Ch1ppy> dinosaur-rus: the right one... but grrr, just got it... for some reason, the default mixer settings had one of the options down, and that wasn't letting sound through... :(
[08:52] <dinosaur-rus> Ch1ppy: lol
[08:53] <Ch1ppy> dinosaur-rus: llaaammmeeee
[08:53] <Ch1ppy> dinosaur-rus: thanks for the help though :)
[08:53] <neil> how do i install an rpm file?
[08:53] <ForgeAus> neil you don't
[08:53] <neil> what do i do with it?
[08:54] <dinosaur-rus> neil: why should you use RPMs in Kubuntu?
[08:54] <ForgeAus> !alien
[08:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[08:54] <deathnote> how do i find out what version of drivers i'm using for saa7134 ??? what's the command to check
[08:54] <neil> i downloaded a theme which is a rpm file
[08:54] <ForgeAus> perhaps you can open it in an archiver and check whats in it..
[08:55] <ForgeAus> if its binaries you may be able to just copy them and run them but if its source code you'd have to try it manually...
[08:55] <ForgeAus> and I can't promise that it will work at all
[08:55] <deathnote> how do i find out what version of drivers i'm using for saa7134 ??? what's the command to check in console
[08:55] <ForgeAus> also RPM's often have dependancy issues
[08:56] <ForgeAus> if the package is available in a .deb or on the ubuntu repositories your better to get the ubuntu equiavelnts
[08:56] <neil> ok thank you
[09:00] <Mena> jucato, what is the name of sun java plz i alaways i think wuould keep this thngs in a text

[09:10] <raize> hullo. i'm trying to pick a good gui ftp program for kubuntu, but there are a lot of choices. any recommendations? i liked the layout of smartftp when iw as using windows.
[09:10] <raize> *i was
[09:12] <deathnote> hmm
[09:13] <ernie> riaze - I have the same question - but for now I'm using gFTP
[09:13] <raize> well, i just grabbed kftpgrabber, and it seems to be laid out similarly to what i've used in the past
[09:14] <raize> whether that's a good thing or not, i dunno.
[09:14] <raize> i'd love to make my kubuntu actually look good too :/
[09:15] <ernie> well this is still all pretty new to myself
[09:15] <raize> me too, so far so good though
[09:15] <raize> only thing that's going to be a bit of a pain seems to be my webcam.
[09:15] <ninHer> g'day all
[09:15] <ernie> that I haven't tried yet
[09:16] <Jucato> !ftp
[09:16] <ubotu> FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[09:18] <raize> !kasablanca
[09:18] <ubotu> kasablanca: fast and free ftp client for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1build1 (edgy), package size 160 kB, installed size 612 kB
[09:19] <raize> !kftpgrabber
[09:19] <ubotu> kftpgrabber: KDE FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.0beta1-0ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 989 kB, installed size 2792 kB
[09:19] <raize> nifty
[09:19] <raize> thanks
[09:19] <Jucato> Konqueror can also be easily used as an FTP client
[09:19] <Jucato> Konqueror can do (more than one) split views (horizontal or vertical)
[09:20] <Jucato> Ctrl+Shift+L splits left-right, Ctrl+Shift+T splits top-bottom, Ctrl+Shift+R closes the current view
[09:20] <bele> !kanyremote
[09:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kanyremote - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:20] <raize> i see..
[09:21] <raize> that's pretty cool, thanks for the info

[09:42] <seven11> someone know a good audio converter
[09:43] <tanlaan> hello everyone
[09:44] <seven11> flac2mp3 ?
[09:45] <tanlaan> my computer has finally crapped out *the one i share with my brothers and sister*. It had windows xp, and that is all they are used to. Do you think I might be able to switch over to ubuntu/kubuntu without confusing them TOO much, haha. Basically I want to know if anyone else has had a family computer that they switched to ubuntu/kubuntu and how their family reacted
[09:45] <seven11> everything2something_else ?
[09:47] <Lynoure> tanlaan: What did they use WinXP for?
[09:48] <raize> i recently switched
[09:48] <Lynoure> tanlaan: If for office things, email and web, they'll prolly be fine with ubuntu.
[09:48] <raize> my xp crapped out, and i decided to give kubuntu a shot because i'm probably going to buy a tablet pc soon anyway
[09:48] <raize> so far, the only difficulty i've had is getting skype working
[09:49] <[StingRay] > tanlaan, prepare for a lot of questions from your family. Maybe you should try a dualboot at first.
[09:49] <raize> but, to be honest i don7t use my pc for much outside of irc and internet options, and media (movies/music). but for thers, you'll probably end up being tech support for them
[09:50] <raize> if it's dualboot though, they'd probably not use kubuntu :)
[09:50] <ernie> install VMserver on it and install XP as a virtual machine :)
[09:50] <raize> well, off to study.
[09:50] <notech> heh, all the questions and advice and he's not responded to any yet
[09:53] <SovietKid> how do i make konquer open irc links with konversation, at the moment it opens with kopete

[09:55] <lotek> Hey everyone.
[09:55] <lotek> Does anyone else notice.. when I try to open adept, or kaffeine and a few other applicaionts, from the launch menu (aka start menu) the apps act like they are going to open, and I can see the program in the task bar, but they never open.
[09:56] <lotek> Ive been running kubuntu for almost a year.. never had this problem.
[09:56] <lotek> This is a new laptop, new install.
[09:56] <lotek> If I run the same command from the command line, it starts just fine.
[09:56] <lotek> strange problem.
[09:56] <lotek> I cant figure it out.
[09:56] <deathnote> try openning it manually and see the error
[09:57] <deathnote> eg..typing kaffeine in the console
[09:57] <lotek> It opens..
[09:57] <deathnote> no error?
[09:57] <lotek> I get some..
[09:57] <lotek> but it still opens.
[09:58] <deathnote> what is it?
[09:58] <deathnote> what if..u press alt f2 and type kaffeine in?
[09:58] <lotek> f2 does nothing.
[09:58] <underdog5004> hello
[09:59] <deathnote> alt-f2
[09:59] <underdog5004> I meant, lol
[09:59] <underdog5004> it's one o' clock in the morning...I'm tired...
[09:59] <deathnote> i mean alt-f2 not f2
[09:59] <qrtt1> hello
[09:59] <lotek> It just keeps trying to run.
[09:59] <lotek> Little icon keps bouncing.
[09:59] <lotek> then it goes away.
[10:00] <deathnote> u were saying there are errors?
[10:00] <lotek> yeah.
[10:00] <deathnote> check ur /var/log/messages (bottom most) to see any unusual problem?
[10:01] <deathnote> syslog too
[10:01] <stamen> hi
[10:02] <lotek-> deathnote: I msged you the errors.
[10:02] <stamen> my problem is with usb data crash transfer
[10:02] <lotek-> Minf taking a look, see if they look familair
[10:02] <stamen> when I connect a USB stick the transfer is stalled and then it crashes
[10:02] <stamen> why?
[10:02] <stamen> what to do
[10:03] <qrtt1> Anyone can help me, my system has no /dev/sda but lspci can find usb device
[10:03] <stamen> and after remove that device the KB and mouse and whole system stills and is blocked, then I have to reset my box
[10:03] <underdog5004> I prefer lsusb to find usb devices
[10:04] <qrtt1> i try it now :P
[10:04] <deathnote> !i810
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i810 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:06] <qrtt1> i try lsusb but terminal is blocked
[10:07] <stamen> underdog5004: and than what
[10:07] <stamen> underdog5004: it find the device
[10:08] <[StingRay] > stamen, do you use usb kbd or mouse?
[10:08] <underdog5004> stamen, uh...I wasn't trying to help you w/ your problem, just telling you that lsusb is faster for detecting attached devices, and more informative...
[10:08] <stamen> [StingRay] : yes, I have usb mouse
[10:09] <stamen> underdog5004: ok
[10:09] <underdog5004> sorry
[10:09] <qrtt1> hmmm.. but lsusb jsut blocked the terminal :(
[10:09] <stamen> [StingRay] : and
[10:10] <[StingRay] > stamen, I am far from expert, but if I were you I would try only the usbstick w/o mouse just in case. After this I would try to mount the stick with different options than the standard
[10:10] <qrtt1> if i have the /dev/sda file, how can i mout a usb hard disk?
[10:10] <[StingRay] > stamen, try different usb ports too
[10:10] <underdog5004> you may have borked your install somehow...did you compile your own kernel?
[10:10] <qrtt1> i dont have
[10:11] <stamen> [StingRay] : I have tried different slots but all is the same, and before upgrading to edgy all was ok, but now with edgy it crashes
[10:11] <underdog5004> qrtt1, sudo mount /dev/sda1
[10:11] <qrtt1> undergog5004, i have no custom kernel the system is installed yesterday using the ubuntu cdrom
[10:11] <[StingRay] > stamen, try to mount manually the flash
[10:12] <stamen> ok
[10:12] <underdog5004> qrtt1, are you sure the cd image is good?
[10:12] <qrtt1> yeah, i have use it sereval times
[10:12] <qrtt1> underdog5004, i have use it many times
[10:13] <underdog5004> qrtt1, yeah, but did you ever do a "Check this disk for errors" ?
[10:13] <qrtt1> hmmm..
[10:14] <underdog5004> qrtt1, just something you may want to think about
[10:16] <[StingRay] > stamen, am not sure if this might be of help but I was having transfer problems due to wrong irq mappings. Don't really know if this might be of help but give it a try (irqpoll): http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=274764&highlight=8139+realtek
[10:17] <stamen> [StingRay] : ok, I will see
[10:18] <qrtt1> underdog5004, thanks for your suggestion :)
[10:18] <underdog5004> qrtt1, lol, np
[10:22] <berkes> does anyone know of there is a setting / thingy that allows me to widen the area in wich the window-resize-pointer is active?
[10:23] <berkes> I very often 'grab' a border but just miss the area, the window behind it then gets activated.
[10:23] <berkes> IMO they are a little too narrow, especially on a large screen. I really need to concentrate on the pointer when resizing. I prefer to grab it in a wider area.
[10:24] <chavo> berkes, no but you can also resize windows with alt-button3
[10:24] <chavo> very handy
[10:27] <underdog5004> I believe that there is a way to make borders around windows so that they aren't too narrow
[10:27] <underdog5004> lemme google around...h/o
[10:30] <deathnote> hi how do i see what is my video from console?
[10:30] <deathnote> i know its an ati but how i know which one in /dev ?
[10:30] <underdog5004> berkes, Sorry, man, can't help you
[10:30] <underdog5004> deathnote, use lspci
[10:31] <underdog5004> in a konsole
[10:31] <deathnote> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)]  (rev 01)
[10:31] <deathnote> so..which one in /dev ?
[10:31] <underdog5004> deathnote, I have no idea...what are you trying to do?
[10:31] <deathnote> create a link /dev/video to my graphics..
[10:32] <underdog5004> hmmm, sorry, I'm no help there...
[10:32] <berkes> chavo: underdog5004: I found a setting in the window-style dialogs, its Crystal specific though.
[10:32] <underdog5004> berkes, cool
[10:32] <berkes> it looks horrific, but it serves what I need :)
[10:33] <underdog5004> berkes, nice
[10:33] <berkes> the border in Crystal is only 3px wide. On a >1800xXX that is really bad IMO.
[10:33] <underdog5004> X_x
[10:34] <chavo> did you try alt-button3 I prefer that method anyway
[10:34] <chavo> you can do it from anywhere in the window
[10:35] <berkes> chavo: yea. I did,
[10:35] <berkes> but somehow rightbutton (3) icw keys does not work in my brain yet

[10:54] <ady33> tnx any idea how I find the command to type?
[10:54] <underdog5004> if you don't want to do that everytime you play, then you can make a desktop icon to click
[10:54] <Hektik_Ninja> underdog5004, where would that splash manager be, sorry I'm kinda a noob to all of this
[10:55] <underdog5004> I would try brutalchess or bchess

[10:55] <Alarm> goodmorning. while using an other OS , i could simply have the os on a small disk sized disk, and all the applications installed on another disk , that was speeding up things a lot. as each disk had to do different job and not one disk both OS+software. what would be the best way to do that with kubuntu . i mean which folder should i mount/create on another disk so that i will just run the os from the disk , and all the files that are needed for
[10:55] <Alarm> application from another
[10:55] <Hektik_Ninja> Okay Thank you underdog5004
[10:57] <underdog5004> Alarm, I would make two different partitions, on for / and one for /home
[10:57] <Alarm> underdog5004,  home is not the directory where the applications run from
[10:57] <underdog5004> ummm, ok
[10:57] <underdog5004> maybe /usr or /bin
[10:57] <Alarm> local data , like settings are saved there
[10:58] <Hawai`i> someone can help?

[11:02] <underdog5004> np, you know where the syslog is?
[11:02] <Hawai`i> yeppers
[11:02] <Hawai`i> :))
[11:02] <underdog5004> where is it? I can't find it, lol
[11:02] <Hawai`i> bbiab if I can't figure it out
[11:03] <underdog5004> !syslog
[11:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about syslog - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <underdog5004> lol, anyone know where the syslog is?
[11:12] <Pooh22> underdog5004: try /var/log/syslog
[11:12] <underdog5004> thanks so much, pooh
[11:19] <mem_> Hey.. everyone
[11:20] <mem_> I'm about 2 days new to linux.. downloaded & ran the Live CD for Kubuntu on my laptop.. but I can't figure out how to get sound working
[11:21] <Jucato> !sound
[11:21] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:22] <mem_> Thanks, will check it out but these pages seem familiar :)
[11:25] <Hawai`i> hmm
[11:27] <underdog5004> Hawai`i, what's up?
[11:27] <Hawai`i> yeah.. I found the syslog
[11:27] <Hawai`i> but I have no idea how to read it
[11:27] <Hawai`i> *grin*
[11:27] <underdog5004> lol
[11:27] <underdog5004> can you pastebin it?
[11:27] <Hawai`i> it's awfully big.. sure you want me to do that?
[11:28] <underdog5004> do you have a usb stick? if so, sudo cat /var/log/syslog > /mnt/sda1/file.txt
[11:28] <underdog5004> Hawai`i, sure
[11:28] <underdog5004> I think that'll work....
[11:28] <Hawai`i> just a moment
[11:30] <mem_> I don't know if the guy who gave me the link was a bot or not, but thanks. I found that I wasn't part of the group allowed to access the sound device :-D Working, thanks.. even if you are a bot
