[00:00] <Cannon> slow internet?
[00:00] <damien__> No
[00:00] <Cannon> or slow pc?
[00:00] <monkeybritches_> October was at least six months ago. Or so I've heard.
[00:00] <damien__> It's just unpacking a whole bunch
[00:00] <VousDeux> plus, I've done so many customizations to the display settings and I'm not sure I can even remember everything I have done
[00:00] <damien__> Like over and over
[00:01] <Cannon> it won;'t remove your changes VousDeux
[00:01] <damien__> I guess it's like different programs or something
[00:01] <Cannon> a full update when first installing kubuntu takes me about 20 mins for dl and installation
[00:02] <damien__> Ah
[00:02] <damien__> Well it hasn't been 20 minutes yet, and I'm on a wireless connection
[00:02] <VousDeux> not even with compiz, emerald and maybe some other third-party stuff?
[00:02] <Cannon> update rarely remove functionality VousDeux, lol
[00:02] <VousDeux> cool
[00:03] <Cannon> almost time for pizza and a movie :P
[00:03] <VousDeux> I've been so busy for the past several months, I can't believe how foreign this all seems now
[00:04] <Cannon> heh
[00:04] <damien__> Hello?
[00:04] <damien__> Hm
[00:04] <Cannon> put yourself in my shoes! lol
[00:04] <damien__> It reset my internet or something
[00:04] <Cannon> lol, you was here all along damien__
[00:05] <VousDeux> I know nvidia usually gives me trouble after an upgrade...what is that config tool with the blue background that gets launched from the command-centric environment?
[00:05] <Cannon> no idea
[00:05] <damien__> Hm
[00:05] <Cannon> i haven't got round to setting up my second monitor yet :(
[00:05] <damien__> That thing reset my internet or something.
[00:06] <Cannon> which is a shame as I wanna watch movies on the big TV!
[00:06] <VousDeux> the one where you can configure the video, monitor, keyboard, and mouse if you cannot get the gui to work
[00:06] <damien__> Woo, it finished.
[00:06] <Cannon> yep, that 20 mins was a conservative estimate ;)
[00:06] <damien__> Hopefully Pidgin works now.
[00:07] <damien__> Also, I have 2 scrollers on my mouse, one is regular and one is inverted, how do I get the inverted one to work?
[00:07] <Cannon> i hate pidgin
[00:07] <damien__> Uh
[00:08] <damien__> When installing pidgin
[00:08] <damien__> It still says some packages are corrupt or something
[00:08] <damien__> Help :o
[00:08] <Cannon> you could try kopete
[00:08] <Cannon> that works better anyways imo
[00:08] <damien__> That came with this, but it would get an error when I tried to connect to MSN
[00:08] <damien__> so I uninstalled it
[00:09] <damien__> But I'll try again
[00:09] <VousDeux> oh yeah...it has something to do with xorg.conf
[00:09] <damien__> Same error :|
[00:09] <damien__> "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."
[00:10] <damien__> It's happening whenever I try to install anything
[00:10] <damien__> :|
[00:10] <damien__> Any idea what's wrong?
[00:12] <Cannon> SCARY, i just opened up root and it didn't ask for a password! :O
[00:12] <Cannon> i get that with adept
[00:12] <damien__> Help me :(
[00:12] <Cannon> try again with synaptic
[00:12] <Cannon> ~ damien__
[00:12] <Cannon> let me know how it goes
[00:12] <damien__> I don't have synaptic
[00:12] <Cannon> lol, dl it then
[00:13] <Cannon> search in adept for it
[00:13] <damien__> Anytime I try to install anything from adept, I get that error >_>
[00:13] <VousDeux> does dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg look to anyone like it might be what I was talking about?
[00:13] <Cannon> synaptic ;)
[00:13] <damien__> But I don't have synaptic...
[00:13] <damien__> >_>
[00:13] <Cannon> lol, dl it!
[00:14] <Cannon> search for it in adept m8
[00:14] <sourcemaker> vbox has crashed my windows 2003 installation
[00:14] <damien__> How am I going to DL it in adept whenever I try to DL something in adept it gives me that error?!
[00:14] <Cannon> ah, sorry! lol
[00:14] <sourcemaker> any help? vbox is starting... bluescreen... restart... and again
[00:14] <damien__> :P
[00:14] <Cannon> you will need to use the terminal
[00:14] <Cannon> but I dunno the command
[00:14] <Cannon> am not too familiar iwth it yet m8
[00:14] <damien__> oh god :| I hate terminal
[00:14] <Cannon> lol
[00:16] <VousDeux> hey, that is it :)
[00:16] <Cannon> sudo apt-get install synaptic @ damien__ ... not get on your knees!
[00:16] <Cannon> lol
[00:16] <Cannon> http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Synaptic
[00:19] <stond> Can anybody tell me why every time I try to cinvert video to a format to watch on my Sony PSP it tells me  Unknown codec 'aac'
[00:19] <Cannon> working damien__?
[00:19] <Cannon> the normal lan address for most peeps is <IP_ADDRESS> so why is mine <IP_ADDRESS>? lol
[00:21] <damien__> cannon: I found a solution on ubuntuforums.org, trying it now
[00:21] <damien__> cannon: it didn't work :|
[00:21] <Cannon> it didn't install with the bash command I gave ya?
[00:22] <Cannon> sudo apt-get install synaptic
[00:22] <damien__> Didn't see that, trying it now
[00:22] <damien__> my keyboard sounds louder for some reason O_o
[00:22] <maritza> ,,,,,
[00:23] <Cannon> lol
[00:24] <damien__> It installed it :D
[00:24] <VousDeux> it seems like I remember having some trouble with some missing libraries or something after upgrading the kernel that kept me from getting the nVidia driver going...hmmm
[00:24] <will00> where do i place files so that dekorator can find them?
[00:25] <VousDeux> ahh...linux-restricted-modules looks familiar
[00:26] <damien__> WOOT
[00:26] <Dr_willis> dekorator is that kde theme? I never did get it going. :)
[00:26] <damien__> Thanks Cannon, it worked perfectly
[00:26] <Cannon> lol, it was the 3rd time I gave it ya!
[00:26] <Dr_willis> I would say check the dekorator homepage.  I imagine theres a system wide dir it uses, and the user can proberly have his own.
[00:26] <will00> ok
[00:26] <VousDeux> I'm just thinking "out loud" trying to recall anything that might give me trouble when I do the update
[00:27] <Cannon> i think linux is gonna teach loads of kids how not to spell! lol
[00:27] <monkeybritches_> You can blame mobile phones for that
[00:28] <Dr_willis> I think windows is gonna teach loads of people how to not 'think' :)
[00:28] <Dr_willis> oh wait  - it allready has.
[00:28] <acme64> ll errors on the upgradeim gettung alot of could not instak
[00:28] <VousDeux> well, it looks like my battery is getting low...I'd better head for the power plug soon

[00:31] <acme64> so hows kde4

[00:32] <Cannon> i've had enough of these damn ip issues for tonight!
[00:35] <VousDeux> well, I wonder why KNetworkManager didn't switch to my wired interface when I plugged it in
[00:39] <EDinNY> can anyone help me figure out how to get audacity to record what is supposed to come out of my speakers?
[00:39] <Lars_G> Hi all.
[00:40] <Lars_G> Sorry to ask this here but I want the kubuntu side of things first.
[00:40] <EDinNY> hi
[00:40] <EDinNY> so, ask
[00:40] <Lars_G> I'm trying to compile an Amarok 2.0 svn pull, but cmake is arguing it can't find a lot of includes, like KDE4Defaults, I've installed all kde4 dev packages I could find on aptitude, and it still whines.
[00:41] <Lars_G> Any idea which package holds these definitions for cmake in kubuntu?
[00:41] <Lars_G> I'm using 7.10
[00:43] <ilya> hi ppl
[00:43] <EDinNY> hi
[00:45] <stond> Can anybody tell me why every time I try to convert video to a format to watch on my Sony PSP it tells me  Unknown codec 'aac'
[00:45] <ilya> i have a trouble, i have a lan-card realtek RTL8139, and in kubuntu works only half duplex 10Mbit
[00:45] <ilya> but i windows it works in full duplex 100Mbit
[00:45] <Lars_G> Hmm it seems it was in kdelibs5-data for 3.94 but it's not there in 4.0.3
[00:46] <ilya> can you help me
[00:47] <Lars_G> stond: The converter you're using (ffmpeg?) was not compiled with aac support, or the aac en/decoder is not installed (libfaad and libfaac)
[00:48] <zapan> hi
[00:48] <ilya> hi
[00:48] <sgrover> low
[00:49] <stond> Lars_G i have installed them both buut still nonthing
[00:49] <zapan> excuse me isnt there a french channel ? =_=
[00:49] <damien__> I need help - Linux wont allow me to open my CD drive.
[00:49] <Lars_G> stond: then you'll probably need to compile your own version of the converter program you're using, with support for aac, or find some prepackaged by someone
[00:49] <simulous> hey ppl :)
[00:50] <Lars_G> zapan: #ubuntu-fr
[00:50] <zapan> thx
[00:50] <Lars_G> damien__: explain the behaviour you're experiencing
[00:51] <damien__> Lars_G: This is the error message I recieve
[00:51] <damien__> Unfortunately, the device system:/media/scd0 (/dev/scd0) named 'Kubuntu 8.04 i386' and currently mounted at /media/cdrom0 could not be unmounted.
[00:51] <damien__> The following error was returned by umount command:
[00:51] <damien__> umount: only root can unmount /dev/scd0 from /media/cdrom0
[00:51] <ilya> anybody can help me with my trouble?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> somthing may be using the cdrom drive.
[00:52] <Dr_willis> try 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0' also
[00:53] <damien__> sudo: unmount: command not found
[00:53] <Lars_G> ilya: try setting it by hand, is your card named "eth0" ??
[00:54] <Dr_willis> damien__,  there is no N in umount
[00:54] <Dr_willis> :)
[00:54] <Dr_willis> try 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0'
[00:54] <damien__> woops, I copied Dr_Willis
[00:54] <ilya> Lars_G: yes
[00:54] <Lars_G> ilya: try this in a shell: sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
[00:55] <Dr_willis> you misscoppoed whjat i said then.    <Dr_willis> try 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0' also
[00:55] <Dr_willis> and yes.. the error message did use the word unmount. :)   with an n.
[00:56] <Illusion-> hello
[00:56] <Illusion-> can somebody tell me what the basic/default password is?
[00:56] <Lars_G> Illusion-: the one you set during install
[00:57] <Dr_willis> You use your initial users password, as the sudo password.
[00:57] <Illusion-> for all?
[00:57] <Lars_G> All of what?
[00:57] <Dr_willis> for all 'what'?
[00:57] <damien__> Thanks guys, it worked.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> :)
[00:57] <Illusion-> adept-updater?
[00:57] <Lars_G> Illusion-: that's a program, programs are not users.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> Illusion-,  yes. thats asking for the sudo password.
[00:57] <Illusion-> hmmz
[00:58] <Lars_G> Illusion-: if you mean the root password when you're doing sudo use your user's password
[00:58] <Illusion-> i didnt need to set to root pw tho
[00:58] <Lars_G> Illusion-: no, root has no password by default, you can't "su" to root. Ubuntu relies on sudo by default
[00:58] <Illusion-> kk
[00:59] <Lars_G> If you're very set in using su you can assign a password for root, but normally it's not required
[01:00] <will00> ey im tryin to compile something and i get the error "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" any ideas?
[01:00] <Lars_G> Dr_willis: I'm still looking for my KDE4Defaults.cmake :(
[01:00] <Lars_G> will00: did you install all the packages necesary to compile?
[01:00] <Lars_G> they're not installed by default
[01:00] <will00> i think so
[01:01] <Dr_willis> will00,  you did install the build-essential package?
[01:01] <Dr_willis>  C compiler cannot create executables ----> normally because its not installed. :)
[01:01] <ilya> Lars_G: i did it, but still not working correctly
[01:02] <damien__> Uh
[01:02] <damien__> Linux won't read the files that I placed on my DVD
[01:02] <Lars_G> ilya: how do you know it's not
[01:02] <will00> ok got that now its stuck at this error "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
[01:02] <damien__> I just dragged and dropped them in from windows (like basic txt files etc)
[01:02] <damien__> and linux cant find any files on it
[01:02] <Lars_G> damien__: did it actually burn the files? check it on another machine
[01:02] <Illusion-> is it possible to run the distro from a usb stick ppl?
[01:03] <damien__> I don't have another machine to check it on
[01:03] <MarcC> how do I start the little network tray icon that shows wireless networks?
[01:03] <will00> illusion: yes
[01:03] <Illusion-> would be slow isnt it?
[01:03] <Lars_G> will00: that requires the -dev files for xorg
[01:03] <ilya> Lars_G: i use dmesg, and it wrote that eth0: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x0000
[01:03] <will00> illusion-: yes http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[01:03] <will00> check it out though
[01:04] <Lars_G> ilya: yes because that's when the machine started. do an "ifconfig" now and see what it reports NOW
[01:04] <Illusion-> ive been installing it on a usb stick but it hangs after a while
[01:04] <Illusion-> *while booting
[01:08] <ilya> Lars_G: sorry, but how can i check this changes ?)
[01:08] <will00> another stupid error "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[01:08] <will00> For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log."
[01:08] <ilya> Lars_G: with ifconfig i haven't this information
[01:11] <will00> any idea as to why its complaining about qt now?
[01:11] <MarcC> how do I start the network helper tray icon for showing me my connection info?
[01:19] <Lars_G> ilya: "sudo ethtool eth0" should tell you your current stats
[01:20] <ilya> Lars_G: thanks =)
[01:22] <ken> Another question ppl
[01:22] <Illusion-> I cant update anymore, another copy from adapt manager is running
[01:23] <Illusion-> is there a way the shut it down?
[01:23] <Illusion-> i had some error while using the program
[01:23] <Illusion-> package could not be installed...bla bla
[01:24] <Illusion-> And I can only open it in read only mode
[01:24] <damien__> Hi.
[01:24] <damien__> I downloaded the newest flash player in tar.bz2 format, but how do I install it or w/e?
[01:25] <ilya> Lars_G: changes apply, but speed only ~100kb/s
[01:25] <will00> im tryin to compile dekorator from source and after i type make i get this :http://pastebin.com/m48fffd4f
[01:25] <ilya> Lars_G: real transfer speed with computer on my switch
[01:29] <Illusion-> nvm,has been solved with dpkg --configure -a
[01:31] <ilya> Lars_G: do you know what the problem?
[01:31] <will00> anyone know why im gettin the make errors listed here http://pastebin.com/m48fffd4f
[01:32] <Dr_willis> will00,  why is your dekorator dirctory in the trash?
[01:32] <Dr_willis>  Entering directory `/home/will/.local/share/Trash/files/dekorator-0.3/client/config'
[01:32] <will00> its not
[01:32] <Dr_willis> it says it is. :)
[01:32] <will00> it shouldnt be, its on my desktop
[01:33] <Dr_willis> I see no error messaegs in that paste. The next step would be a 'sudo make install'
[01:33] <Dr_willis> of course in the past when compiling kde themes and parts ive had to give configure the proper option as to where the kdebase dir is at.
[01:34] <will00> dr willis heres the output of thathttp://pastebin.com/m28eccb66
[01:34] <will00> yet i cant access dekorator
[01:35] <Dr_willis> you mean after you did a 'sudo make install' and it installed.. it is not shown under the KDE theme settings?
[01:37] <will00> im in the system settings and it isnt there
[01:37] <Dr_willis> You may need to redo the ./configure step to tell it the proper place to install to.
[01:38] <Dr_willis> kde-config --prefix     shows  -------> /usr here... so to configure i would use......
[01:39] <Dr_willis> ./configure --prefix=/usr
[01:39] <Dr_willis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24380       has details

[02:21] <acmeDS> et
[02:21] <acmeDS> ho not eifi
[02:21] <acmeDS> eth0
[02:21] <wopppp> i found this channel on a website describing how to dual boot kubuntu and windows, i already have windows installed and i have Slackware on a seperate partition, i want to wipe off slackware and install kubuntu in its place, i guess what i am really after is Kubuntu automatically recognizes a windows partition on boot up and asks if you want to goto kubuntu or windows??
[02:21] <acmeDS> sorry, im on ds irc csnt type lol
[02:22] <Dr_willis> acmeDS,   i would set it to dhcp and restart networking to see if it works.
[02:22] <Kaevik> that would be the boot loader.
[02:22] <Kaevik> grub, or lilo
[02:22] <wopppp> correct what i mena is does the default kubuntu bootloaded automatically detect?
[02:22] <Dr_willis> wopppp,  most all disrtos install, and use the GRUB boot loader to let you select what OS to boot to.
[02:22] <acmeDS> trying now
[02:22] <Dr_willis> wopppp,  it makes a menu for you to use.
[02:22] <wopppp> very cool...
[02:23] <acmeDS> lol
[02:23] <wopppp> i was researching it on the internet and all the sites say plainly, install windows first, install kubuntu... bam your done it dual boots
[02:23] <acmeDS> didnt work
[02:23] <acmeDS> dhcp
[02:23] <Dr_willis> Yep. thats about the basics of i wopppp
[02:23] <wopppp> is eth0 active?
[02:24] <acmeDS> yes/
[02:24] <Dr_willis> acmeDS, check ifconfig output, check dmesg output, check the cables..  see if you can even ping things.. see if ifconfig shows an ip address...
[02:24] <wopppp> this computer your on is in the same network?
[02:24] <Dr_willis> could even try some live cd's see if they work with the network.
[02:25] <acmeDS> only pc i have
[02:25] <acmeDS> im on a ds now
[02:25] <Dr_willis> also find out exactly what network card you have by checking 'lspci' output
[02:25] <acmeDS> its intergrated
[02:26] <Dr_willis> most are. :) lspci still shows info on them
[02:26] <acmeDS> mcp55
[02:26] <wopppp> lol anyways thats great ive tried a few flavors of linux and ubuntu seems to be favored by many
[02:26] <mohamed> maduser: thank you
[02:27] <acmeDS> dmesg spewed a ton of junk
[02:29] <Dr_willis> acmeDS,  check 'lsmod' output - see if the module   forcedeth is loaded
[02:29] <Dr_willis> lsmod | grep forcedeth
[02:29] <acmeDS> isee an ip in eth0:avahi
[02:29] <Dr_willis> the mcp55 seems to have some 'issues' in many different disrtos
[02:30] <acmeDS> forcedeth 0
[02:30] <acmeDS> forcedeth 51980 0
[02:31] <Dr_willis> frm what i am reading - the options -->  options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 are needed for that module under some kernel/disrtos
[02:31] <acmeDS> i had ot working in 7.0
[02:31] <Dr_willis> I just have no idea where to put those options
[02:31] <acmeDS> o.0
[02:31] <Dr_willis> 7.0?
[02:31] <acmeDS> feisty
[02:32] <acmeDS> or hardy w/e
[02:33] <Dr_willis> the ubuntu specific 'help' pages on that  card. mention upgrading the kernel to get it working..
[02:33] <Dr_willis> of course with the network not working.. thats an issue. :)
[02:33] <acmeDS> lol
[02:33] <acmeDS> ithought thid was latest krtnel
[02:33] <Dr_willis> what kernelyou using  check with uname -a
[02:33] <acmeDS> 2.6.24-12
[02:34] <Dr_willis> thats newer then what the guides i see even mention.
[02:34] <Dr_willis> The guides seem to  imply that the networking/card seems to stop after working for a short amount of time
[02:35] <Dr_willis> You could try restarting the networking, see if it works, :) then later stops I guess
[02:35] <acmeDS> very short apparently
[02:35] <Dr_willis> sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[02:35] <Dr_willis>  and check the ifconfig to see if the ip changes. also see if you can ping the router
[02:36] <acmeDS> no ping
[02:36] <Dr_willis> if it worked in hardy. Id just use hardy. :) but im using hardy now
[02:36] <acmeDS> aw crap make it stop
[02:36] <acmeDS> o ok
[02:36] <acmeDS> ctrl+c lol
[02:37] <acmeDS> whats 8 called?
[02:38] <Dr_willis> 8 ?
[02:39] <acmeDS> gotta find hsrdy now
[02:39] <SeligArkin> I have been getting alot of dpkg errors lately, and there is no way I can install all the upgraded it wants me to, is there any way to re-generate /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[02:39] <acmeDS> hardy
[02:39] <Dr_willis> hardy is due to be released in like 2 weeks
[02:39] <acmeDS> oh
[02:39] <acmeDS> eait
[02:39] <Cannon> you've got the same gpu as me then Dr_willis :)
[02:39] <Dr_willis> You could test out the hardy live cd easially enough. Its in testing right now
[02:39] <acmeDS> im usin...8,04
[02:39] <Cannon> mine is the 320mb one
[02:39] <acmeDS> 8800gts ftw
[02:40] <Cannon> there are much more powerful gpu's out now but mine is still more than enough
[02:40] <Dr_willis> lsb_release -a ----> Description:    Ubuntu hardy (development branch) Release:        8.04
[02:40] <Cannon> not the mention the sli options
[02:40] <Cannon> quad sli :P
[02:40] <acmeDS> im on hardy
[02:40] <Dr_willis> there are some newer kernels out acmeDS  --> i got   Linux cow 2.6.24-15-generic
[02:40] <acmeDS> ic
[02:41] <Dr_willis> acmeDS, i would say check in #ubuntu+1 and the hardy forums. its very likely its a kernel bug. or issue
[02:41] <Cannon> lol @ linux cow
[02:41] <SeligArkin> oh screw it, I am just reinstalling. this is too much of a pain in the rump. going to debian streight up
[02:41] <Cannon> mooooooooooooooooO!
[02:42] <Dr_willis> acmeDS,  hardy chat in #ubuntu+1 :) i found a hardy bug report on that card.
[02:42] <Cannon> lol, i prefer our kde to debian :)
[02:42] <Dr_willis> rmmod forcedeth  && modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0  && /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:42] <Dr_willis> acmeDS,  those options are identical to what i saw mentioned in other disrtos threads/bug reports for that card/module
[02:43] <acmeDS> that goes in konsole?
[02:43] <Dr_willis> acmeDS,  of course. :) where else ya going to type in commands>
[02:43] <Dr_willis> and they need to be ran as root. of course.
[02:43] <acmeDS> um
[02:43] <acmeDS> :D
[02:43] <Dr_willis> or make them in a little script. on 3 lines.
[02:44] <Dr_willis> I put them on one line so i wouldent flood the channel.
[02:44] <acmeDS> error
[02:45] <acmeDS> inserting blah operation not permitted
[02:45] <Dr_willis> you MUST do them as root.
[02:45] <Dr_willis> eithter in a root shell. or tack on sudo at the front of each command  or make a script
[02:45] <acmeDS> idid sudo
[02:45] <Dr_willis> NOT a single sudo at the front
[02:46] <Dr_willis> sudo -s
[02:46] <acmeDS> oh/
[02:46] <Dr_willis> THEN use the command i did.. Or do 3 commands , each with a sudo
[02:46] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:46] <Dr_willis> or toss the 3 commands in rc.local and reboot.
[02:46] <acmeDS> cannot exec binary file
[02:47] <Dr_willis> i would say use a 'sudo -s' shell and just put in the 3 commands   sudo rmmod forcedeth   , then sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 , then  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:47] <acmeDS> ignt one sec
[02:47] <Dr_willis> actually ya dont need to use sudo in that case. heh.
[02:48] <Dr_willis> or paste those 3 commands in a file called 'fixthenet.sh' and chmod +x it, then sudo ./fisthenet.sh :)
[02:48] <acmeDS> ur loosing me lol
[02:48] <Dr_willis> the 'fix' is to be loading the module with the proper optins
[02:48] <Dr_willis> that is ALL you are doing
[02:49] <Dr_willis> Unload the module,  load it with the right options, then restart networking
[02:49] <acmeDS> first command, forcedeth does not exist
[02:49] <Dr_willis> You did it wrong..
[02:49] <Dr_willis> its sudo rmmod forcedeth
[02:49] <acmeDS> thats wha
[02:50] <acmeDS> i wrote
[02:50] <Dr_willis> rmmod = remove module - that Unloads the module
[02:50] <acmeDS> mudt be unloaded then?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> sudo rmmod forcedeth
[02:50] <Dr_willis> you MUST unload the modulem then load it properly  with the right options.
[02:50] <Dr_willis> sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
[02:50] <acmeDS> it says it doesnt exist
[02:51] <Dr_willis> it says the command dosent exist or the module is allready unloaded?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> It may be its unloaded from one of your earlier commands.
[02:51] <acmeDS> i guess
[02:51] <Dr_willis> Then try -->   sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
[02:51] <Dr_willis> that Loads the module correctly
[02:51] <acmeDS> second cmd; commandnot found/
[02:52] <acmeDS> etf
[02:52] <Dr_willis> im betting on another typo
[02:52] <acmeDS> got it
[02:52] <Dr_willis> now restart the networking like i showd ye earlier.
[02:52] <Dr_willis> sudo  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:53] <Dr_willis> now it should work.. but your configuration tweaking earlier may have other bits goofed up. :)
[02:54] <acmeDS> YEY
[02:54] <Dr_willis> the perment fix is to put those 3 commands in your rc.local - not the BEST fix..but a workable fix.
[02:54] <Dr_willis> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/136836        is where i got this info from
[02:55] <acme64> ok, fuk the ds
[02:55] <acme64> lmao
[02:55] <acme64> thanks alot man
[02:55] <acme64> ok so these settings are gonna revert every time i boot
[02:57] <Dr_willis> as i said......
[02:57] <Dr_willis> the perment fix is to put those 3 commands in your rc.local - not the BEST fix..but a workable fix.
[02:57] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:57] <Dr_willis> so thats a yes.
[02:57] <Dr_willis> there may be some modules option file somewhere that you could put the options in also. but i dont knwo where its at.
[02:57] <Dr_willis> that would be a better fix.
[02:58] <acme64> i see on this forum dude editing a modprobe.d file
[03:00] <acme64> oh niftier
[03:00] <acme64> edit the /etc/modules
[03:00] <Dr_willis> sounds about right.
[03:01] <acme64> ok, that looks good to meh
[03:02] <acme64> second order of business, no audio
[03:02] <acme64> o snap, i fixed it
[03:02] <acme64> lol
[03:03] <Dr_willis> i belive i will NOT buy nvidia based chipset machines in the near future
[03:03] <acme64> lmao
[03:03] <Dr_willis> work time for me. bye all
[03:03] <acme64> thanks a ton for your help
[03:04] <acme64> ok, now i beleive i need to install my nvidia card
[03:08] <acme64> adept says firefox is installed but i dont see it
[03:19] <madmax> hi folks
[03:19] <madmax> man i love the new kde4 :)
[03:26] <apol> gat
[03:29] <sebb> Greetings
[03:31] <sebb> I just install Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and try to apply the updates. My adept encounter some problems with some packages. Does any body know how to end the adept process ?
[03:31] <sebb> Because I can not manage my repository or even install spftweare from the adept.
[03:32] <Ralesk> sebb: sudo killall adept-manager
[03:32] <sebb> thanks
[03:32] <Jucato> (would be adept_manager... but depends on which one is running actually)
[03:32] <Ralesk> or whichever adept you're running -- bash-completion will help, just type adept and hit tab
[03:32] <Ralesk> yeah, underscore... been a while :)
[03:34] <sebb> jucato : yup it the manage one
[03:34] <Ralesk> sebb: also, once you can install again, I recommend htop, great for exploring the running processes, seeing which one is gnawing at your resources, and killing rogue processes :)
[03:35] <Jucato> Ctrl+Esc not enough? :)
[03:35] <Ralesk> point
[03:35] <Jucato> (oh KDE 4's ksysguard has a nice feature that asks you for the root/admin password when you're trying to kill another user's process
[03:36] <Ralesk> I forgot about it, as that shortcut is the first I change -- and I never really liked the kde3 sysguard anyway
[03:36] <Jucato> what's not to like about it? :)
[03:36] <Jucato> (it has improved in KDE 4 a lot)
[03:36] <Ralesk> seen the kde4 one, and yes it has improved :)
[03:37] <Ralesk> though at the moment the only thing from KDE4 I use is Konsole
[03:37] <Jucato> there is one thing I miss in the KDE 4 one though... the tree view for processes
[03:37] <Ralesk> Konsole-kde3 is disgracefully slow at drawing on the screen...
[03:38] <sebb> This is odd ... I try the CTRL-ESC approched and the
[03:38] <sebb> Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).
[03:38] <sebb> Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself.
[03:38] <neville_> Konsole-kde3 seems fine Ralesk
[03:38] <neville_> Stop promoting the future :P
[03:38] <sebb> Sorry.
[03:38] <Ralesk> neville_: :P
[03:38] <sebb> I paste an error messah
[03:38] <sebb> *message
[03:40] <Ralesk> neville_: well, on my computer it draws significantly slower than konsole-kde4 or gnome-terminal -- unfortunately I can't stand the latter :P
[03:40] <neville_> Hmm, it's a wonder how anybody can stand the latter :P
[03:40] <neville_> But each to their own, I guess =]
[03:40] <Ralesk> I've been telling that my coworkers :P
[03:41] <Ralesk> (all gnome guys, heh)
[03:41] <neville_> So long as you don't make it look like KDE is the only alternative. It's all about choice remember?
[03:41] <neville_> :P
[03:42] <Ralesk> oh, forgot, one of them uses e17 :)
[03:42] <Ralesk> I mean, e16.9999999999
[03:42] <neville_> Hehe
[03:42] <neville_> Enlightenment is good though for minimalisticness
[03:42] <Ralesk> e17 always reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever
[03:43] <Ralesk> it's pretty and fast, but otherwise it got on my nerves pretty quick the last time I tried it
[03:43] <neville_> Oh, you must have a low threshold for the different :P
[03:44] <Ralesk> oh, I worked on a gnome desktop for a few months and it was bearable
[03:45] <neville_> I remember my first time using Linux, I thought Gnome was all that there was, and that it was cool -_-v (that made KDE blow my mind)
[03:45] <Ralesk> their panel is silly and you can't make use of a bigger panel height, because most things will just grow on it instead of breaking into multiple lines
[03:46] <neville_> In all honesty, I reckon KDE can be made to be a better Gnome than Gnome, without even changing any code :P
[03:47] <Ralesk> I could make it a Mac too :P  (gotta love the menu position options, not that I'd use them...)
[03:47] <Ralesk> desktop menubar reminds me of DOS times... Need a good retro theme for it though, heh
[03:47] <neville_> haha
[03:48] <sebb> later need to reboot ...

[04:05] <Cannon> bingo!
[04:08] <simulous> hey
[04:37] <PurpleBlu> In KDE 4.03 is there a way to change the menu?  You have two choices of Kickoff or Standard Kmenu, but is there any other options?   How can't at least change the size of the menu?
[04:38] <Odd-rationale> PurpleBlu: you should be able to resize the menu by clicking and holding on the top right corner...
[04:39] <PurpleBlu> Odd-rationale, not the icon.  I main the actually size of the category's
[04:39] <PurpleBlu> *mean
[04:39] <Odd-rationale> PurpleBlu: oh ok
[04:40] <PurpleBlu> Odd-rationale, But I would prefer different menu layout altogether though.    Start menu layout should be able to be changed
[04:44] <Odd-rationale> PurpleBlu: that is custumization, i mean, you cant install a gnome menu in windows :P
[04:44] <neville_> Don't tell anyone to install Gnome
[04:44] <PurpleBlu> How come when I boot back into gnome, none of the kde4 icons show up?
[04:44] <neville_> It'll reduce their ability to do things for themselves
[04:46] <PurpleBlu> I was trying to fiddle with the position of the kmenu item that is in the top panel, and I was unable to move its position
[04:48] <PurpleBlu> Is there going to be any other choices besides the lame KickOFF menu?
[04:49] <neville_> How about you make your own?
[04:49] <neville_> Or check Google :P
[04:49]  * PurpleBlu slaps neville_ for being a smart ass
[04:50] <PurpleBlu> Someone once showed me a OSX like menu that is in works but I forget the name, so I cant google it :(
[04:50] <Romina> hi
[04:50] <bittin> Hello
[04:50] <neville_> I wasn't being a smartarse
[04:50] <neville_> Believe it or not
[04:51] <neville_> Just make your own applet, and toss it in
[04:51] <Odd-rationale> PurpleBlu: awn ? or kooldock?
[04:51] <Romina> does anyone of you know the game "pokerth"  from the "universe"  repository?
[04:51] <bittin> Romina: yepp
[04:51] <PurpleBlu> Odd-rationale, neither of those
[04:51] <Romina> bittin, may I please ask you to tell me how to connect to an existing online game with real human players?
[04:52] <Romina> bittin, the local games against the computer are kinda boring *g*
[04:52] <bittin> dunno haven't played it just knows about it :P
[04:52] <Romina> *g*
[04:52] <Romina> ;)
[04:52] <volition> hello
[04:52] <bittin> Hi
[04:52] <Romina> hi volition
[04:53] <Romina> bittin, should we give it a try?
[04:53] <bittin> Romina: iam on osx atm :P
[04:53] <Romina> bittin, osx ...well I thought about trying out OS X since a long time
[04:53] <volition> i just installed linux for the first time and i am trying to get firefox to work, so far i installed it, but the only way it will actually run is through the terminal, how do i get it to run through the graphical interface/set up a shortcut to it?
[04:53] <Romina> can you recommend it?
[04:53] <bittin> and gave my Kubuntu box to my grand parents 2 cities away so :D
[04:54] <bittin> becouse they needed a working computer
[04:54] <bittin> yepp i can :)
[04:54] <Romina> volition, well there are several good ways
[04:54] <Romina> volition, I guess you use KDE ?
[04:54] <Romina> the default desktop environment which kubuntu came up with, right?
[04:54] <volition> i think so, yep
[04:54] <Romina> bittin, will be with you in 2 mins
[04:55] <Romina> bittin, I'm gonna help volition for a moment
[04:55] <bittin> ah
[04:55] <Romina> volition, please try "ALT+F2" on your keyboard
[04:55] <bittin> do so
[04:55] <Romina> does a prompt show up?
[04:55] <volition> yes
[04:55] <volition> run command
[04:55] <Romina> perfect
[04:55] <Romina> please enter:
[04:55] <Romina> firefox
[04:55] <volition> hey it worked
[04:55] <bittin> can't u just right click on Kicker and add it to K-menu
[04:55] <volition> heh
[04:55] <Romina> and then use the return key
[04:55] <volition> sounds good
[04:55] <Romina> volition, thats one of the best ways to start programs on linux
[04:55] <Romina> there is one more option.
[04:56] <Romina> bittin just said it
[04:56] <bittin> i remember i did that for my grandparents some days ago :)
[04:56] <volition> awesome yep it worked
[04:56] <Romina> there is a K-Menu to your left
[04:56] <volition> thanks guys
[04:56] <im-a-n00b> hey all... are the ati drivers in the repos the same as from the ati site?
[04:56] <Romina> volition, stop man *g*
[04:56] <Romina> lemme show you how to create an icon
[04:56] <volition> sounds good
[04:56] <Romina> do you see the "K" button?
[04:56] <volition> yes on the lower left
[04:56] <Romina> click it ... there are several submenus
[04:56] <volition> k
[04:56] <Romina> try to find "firefox" I guess its in the "internet" section
[04:57] <volition> yep there it is
[04:57] <Romina> then use the left mouse button to drag and drop it somewhere
[04:57] <volition> guess i didn't check for it again after i installed it through the shell
[04:57] <Romina> for example to your desktop
[04:57] <Romina> but I can only recommend running programs by ALT+F2
[04:57] <Romina> it saves up a lot of space
[04:57] <volition> sounds good
[04:57] <bittin> Romina: :P
[04:57] <bittin> yea if u are arsed enough to remember all program names
[04:58] <Romina> volition, and try out icewm *g*
[04:58] <bittin> when u are like 58 and 61 u maybe don't :)
[04:58]  * Romina hides and runs
[04:58] <Romina> bittin, are you that old?
[04:58] <bittin> nah :P
[04:58] <Romina> *g*
[04:58] <bittin> but my Grandparents are ;D
[04:58] <bittin> iam just 17
[04:58] <Romina> your grandparents use linux?
[04:58] <bittin> yea
[04:58] <Romina> hey cool :)  a 17 years old guy/gal using linux
[04:59] <bittin> iam a guy :P
[04:59] <Romina> I think times changed,   linux became easier
[04:59] <bittin> just becouse i had it installed on my old comp :)
[04:59] <bittin> and i wasen't arsed to buy a windows license and change :P
[04:59] <volition> now to find that partitioning thing they were talking about with "wubi," partition this drive away from the windows one, and reformat the windows one, finally
[04:59] <Romina> I started years ago with Suse,  then Mandrake,  and Debian potato *g*
[04:59] <bittin> or warze it
[04:59] <volition> been like 2 years without a reformat on this computer heh
[04:59] <bittin> i also started with Suse :)
[05:00] <bittin> but even my grandmother finded out how to install the printer in linux
[05:00] <bittin> then i was like :O it must have been easy now
[05:00] <Romina> well KDE makes it easy to set up a printer
[05:00] <Romina> I have learnt how to do in it cups years ago
[05:01] <Romina> its nice that linux became easier,  but ... however,  its time for a new,  difficult  geek-os
[05:01] <bittin> :D lol
[05:01] <Romina> Solaris?
[05:01] <Romina> Unix ?
[05:01] <Romina> BeOS *lol*
[05:02] <bittin> Amiga ;D
[05:02] <Romina> freak *g*
[05:02] <Romina> are there any good new p2p programs out?
[05:02] <Romina> the gnutella network became worse ...
[05:02] <bittin> true
[05:02] <volition> i use bittorrent for everything
[05:03] <Romina> I use frostwire (limewire fork)  but it feels like if there would be less matches
[05:03] <bittin> same here
[05:03] <bittin> and bittorrenting
[05:03] <Romina> volition, if you belive or not,  I never found out how to use bittorrent successfully
[05:03] <volition> ???????????
[05:03] <Romina> really *g*
[05:03] <Romina> the download speeds were around 3 KB / sec
[05:03] <volition> just google utorrent, download and install it
[05:04] <Romina> isn't it in the repos?
[05:04] <bittin> utorrent don't work for linux without wine
[05:04] <volition> ahh
[05:04] <bittin> so better use something else =)
[05:04] <volition> what about this ktorrent thing
[05:04] <Jucato> Romina: torrent speeds are dependent on a lot of factors, peer availability and bandwidth being one of them
[05:04] <bittin> KTorrent isen't that good
[05:04] <volition> if your download speeds are limited it's probably a problem with the options in whatever torrent software you are using
[05:04] <Romina> bittorrent-gui   ctorrent    ktorrent   deluge-torrent
[05:04] <bittin> deluge
[05:04] <Romina> whats good?
[05:04] <bittin> is best then :)
[05:04] <Romina> oki
[05:05] <bittin> Deluge is an utorrent clone :)
[05:05] <Romina> Jucato, glad to meet you again =)
[05:05] <Jucato> !best
[05:05] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[05:05] <Romina> Jucato, everything ok there?
[05:05] <Jucato> yep
[05:05] <volition> hmm i think i will get deluge
[05:05] <bittin> so volition i think u should fix Deluge also =)
[05:05] <volition> heh
[05:06] <Romina> bittin, I'm gonna install deluge
[05:06] <bittin> do so =)
[05:06] <Romina> erm guys ...
[05:06] <Romina> one stupid question
[05:06] <bittin> !ask
[05:06] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[05:06] <Romina> well maybe its been me beeing stupid because I trusted the german ubuntuusers-wiki
[05:07] <Romina> bittin, let's go out and discuss it on the street ;)
[05:07] <bittin> don't ask it in german and it will be ok
[05:07] <bittin> iam swedish :D
[05:07] <Romina> I know :)
[05:07] <volition> how do i check which version of ubuntu i am using?
[05:08] <bittin> uname -a
[05:08] <Jucato> volition: "lsb_release -a"
[05:08] <bittin> in Konsole?
[05:08] <Jucato> bittin: nope
[05:08] <volition> sounds good, thanks
[05:08] <bittin> :P
[05:08] <Jucato> uname -a gives you info about the current kernel you have booted into
[05:08] <bittin> Jucato: got right
[05:08] <bittin> ah
[05:08] <bittin> was a while i was using Linux :
[05:08] <bittin> :p
[05:09] <Jucato> unless you know which kernel versions are available per Ubuntu version, uname -a (or -r) wouldn't give a clue :)
[05:09] <bittin> haha no :D
[05:10] <Romina> ok, deluge torrent has been started
[05:10] <Romina> there is no "search" field :)
[05:10] <bittin> nah search on a tracker =)
[05:10] <bittin> like http://thepiratebay.org/ or http://mininova.org
[05:10] <Romina> tracker?
[05:10] <Romina> I need to search online?
[05:10] <bittin> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker
[05:11] <Romina> beautiful
[05:11] <volition> 8.04 hardy got it thanks
[05:11] <bittin> yepp
[05:11] <bittin> volition: aren't that just beta :P
[05:12] <Jucato> torrent != gnutella/limewire stuff
[05:12] <Jucato> 2 different kinds of p2p
[05:12] <Romina> No hits. Try adding an asterisk in you search phrase.
[05:12] <Romina> ^
[05:12] <Romina> same goes for 4 different searches
[05:13] <Jucato> !piracy | bittin, btw
[05:13] <ubotu> bittin, btw: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[05:13] <bittin> ah ok
[05:13] <bittin> then i know
[05:13] <Jucato> Romina: with torrents, you actually have to first search for .torrent files for what you want to download. it's not like Limewire where there's a sort of centralized searching place
[05:13] <bittin> sorry
[05:14] <Jucato> it's ok. just a light warning :)
[05:17] <serrucho> hi everyone
[05:17] <bittin> hello serrucho
[05:17] <serrucho> i have a question how to connect remote to a windows computer?
[05:17] <bittin> with Samba but dunno how :
[05:17] <bittin> :P
[05:18] <Jucato> !samba
[05:18] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[05:18] <serrucho> ok
[05:18] <serrucho> thanks
[05:19] <MrJoey> serrucho> If you're talking about logging into the remote desktop, you'll need Window$ XP (or Vista, probably) Professional to serve it, and a program like rdesktop to connect to it.
[05:20] <serrucho> ok thanks for yo information guys
[05:21] <serrucho> i`ll tried samba
[05:21] <serrucho> and let you know guys
[05:21] <tuxwulf_> Hey there. Is there a way I can configure apt/adept to check for updates only once a month or something?
[05:22] <serrucho> if i have a Q. dont doubt that i will q.
[05:23] <Jucato> tuxwulf_: I know there's a setting for it.. try digging around in /etc/apt/
[05:24] <Jucato> or there might be an option in Adept Manager -> Adept menu -> Manage Repositories
[05:24] <volition> how do i see what is currently using the cpu and memory?
[05:24] <bittin> volition: alt + escape
[05:24] <bittin> or if it was ctrl + escape
[05:25] <volition> well one of them worked heh
[05:25] <Jucato> Ctrl+Esc
[05:25] <Jucato> :D
[05:25] <volition> thanks
[05:31] <tuxwulf_> Jucato: Thaaanks! I'll have a check after my spaghetti
[05:33] <Jucato> O.o
[05:33] <Jucato> apt-get install spaghetti
[05:35] <Romina> bittin?
[05:35] <bittin> Romina: yepp?
[05:36] <Romina> bittin, are you registered at Nickserv?
[05:36] <bittin> yepp :)
[05:36] <bittin> ofc :)
[05:36] <Romina> i'm gonna send you am /msg
[05:36] <bittin> do so
[05:41] <Romina> are there any core devs of Kubuntu in this channel?
[05:43] <Jucato> maybe. maybe not. what's the matter?
[05:44] <chris42050707> hi i have an impossible question to answer any body willing to try?
[05:44] <Jucato> try asking first :)
[05:44] <chris42050707> lol
[05:44] <chris42050707> how do i disable scsi emulation?
[05:45] <chris42050707> i even googled it and can't find a answer lol
[05:45] <Jucato> difficult indeed... no idea actually.. might want to wait around and see if someone might now
[05:45] <Jucato> know*
[05:46] <chris42050707> yup
[05:46] <chris42050707> im in ubuntu,xubuntu,kubuntu channels lol and waiting lol
[05:46] <volition> hmmm it seems like my graphics display drivers need to be installed some things are painfully laggy
[05:47] <Jucato> volition: what does "glxinfo | grep render" say? (if it's multiple lines, don't paste it in here, use a pastebin)
[05:48] <volition> not saying anything in konsole hmm
[05:48] <Jucato> that would be terribly weird
[05:50] <volition> well i guess it would make sense that it would not automatically install my graphic card drivers, getting them now
[05:50] <volition> heh i love this connection
[05:50] <volition> 900k a second
[05:50] <bittin> :P
[05:50] <bittin> what connection u got?
[05:51] <bittin> i got 100/100
[05:51] <bittin> :D
[05:51] <Jucato> chris42050707: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616843 (though it seems you need to recompile your kernel or unload some kernel modules)
[05:51] <volition> this is a t3, wish i had this at home heh
[05:51] <bittin> i got T1
[05:51] <bittin> at home
[05:52] <chris42050707> oh damn
[05:52] <chris42050707> that seems like a pain
[05:52] <Jucato> volition: "glxinfo | grep render" should return a "Direct rendering: Yes" afaik
[05:52] <Jucato> if the drivers are installed correctly
[05:53] <volition> i see
[05:53] <Jucato> what graphics card do you have?
[05:53] <volition> i am trying to install these drivers
[05:53] <volition> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html
[05:53] <volition> nvidia geforce 6150
[05:53] <Jucato> oh nvidia
[05:53] <Jucato> yep that should do the trick
[05:54] <Jucato> actually it would have installed the free software nv driver by default, which doesn't do 3D hardware acceleration (yet)
[05:54] <volition> well i have that file
[05:55] <volition> and i can't figure out how to install it, where do i type the "sh filename" like it says
[05:55] <bittin> in Konsole
[05:55] <bittin> Terminal
[05:55] <bittin> thingie
[05:55] <Jucato> um. you don't have too
[05:55] <Jucato> you could just install it from Kubuntu's repositories
[05:56] <Jucato> System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Restricted Manager should make it easier
[05:56] <volition> ??
[05:56] <Jucato> if that doesn't work
[05:56] <Jucato> !nvidia
[05:56] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:56] <Jucato> that guide should help ^^^
[05:56] <volition> sounds good, thanks
[05:56] <Jucato> you should only install the driver directly from nvidia.com as a last resort
[05:58] <volition> i don't see restricted manager in system settings > advanced tab
[05:58] <Jucato> what version of Kubuntu are you on again?
[05:58] <volition> hardy
[05:58] <volition> 8.04
[05:59] <Jucato> hm.. strange... you should have it there by default...
[05:59] <Jucato> anyway, follow that guide there
[05:59] <bittin> iam afraid of betas :P
[05:59] <volition> k
[06:02] <chris42050707> juc.... its odd its saying that all ide devices are scsi devices ran through a ide controller since kernel2.6 lol
[06:02] <chris42050707> bulll shit lol
[06:02] <chris42050707> anybody good with hardware difficulties?
[06:03] <volition> okay cool i found drivers in adept installer
[06:03] <bittin> nice
[06:06] <volition> alright i should be using my graphics card now heh
[06:07] <volition> what was the command to check if i was again?
[06:08] <volition> glxinfo?
[06:08] <volition> hmmm
[06:08] <chris42050707> any one good with hardware interfacing problems?

[07:32] <prateek>  how do we install scanners in kubuntu? how do we install scanners in kubuntu?
[07:32] <Daisuke_Ido> well we can start by not repeating yourself
[07:32] <Daisuke_Ido> especially since you're the ONLY one that's spoken
[07:32] <Daisuke_Ido> that said, i don't know.
[07:33] <prateek> sorry
[07:36] <prateek> see i installed kubuntu yesterday but games and education content is missing..i have a slow net connection how can i force kubuntu to get these from kubuntu 7.10 live cd
[07:38] <prateek> well
[07:43] <neville_> Show some patience prateek.

[08:18] <mohi> hi all :) how do I share my internet in between 2 kubuntus ? its my ifconfig: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6820/
[08:19] <dthacker-work> !network
[08:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:19] <dthacker-work> ;p
[08:19] <mohi> ;)
[08:20] <dthacker-work> mohi: please describe how your machines are connected to the internet
[08:20] <mohi> dthacker-work: hey...
[08:20] <dthacker-work> mohi: please be patient 'cos I'm at work and may have to be afk for a few mins at a time
[08:21] <mohi> dthacker-work: the PC is contected to internet via eth1 to adsl and the laptop is connected to OC via PC's eth0
[08:21] <mohi> dthacker-work: :) ok
[08:21] <mohi> s/OC/PC
[08:21] <dthacker-work> OC=other computer?
[08:21] <mohi> i meant PC
[08:22] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to change the size of the external taskbar?
[08:22] <dthacker-work> mohi: you need a hub or router
[08:23] <mohi> dthacker-work: vat i do it with ip forwarding like: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[08:23] <mohi> s/vat/can't*
[08:23] <stdin> mohi: iirc firestarter can do that all for you
[08:24] <stdin> (turns your PC into a firewall/router)
[08:24] <mohi> stdin: firestarter always says cant find my internet! I purged it! :D
[08:24] <dthacker-work> mohi: yes you could
[08:24]  * dthacker-work googles firestarter.
[08:25] <stdin> it's a iptables GUI (like guarddog)
[08:25]  * dthacker-work adds it to his list of things to learn.
[08:26] <tsukasa_> hey guys, how do i get a vertical spacer line in the bottom panel?
[08:37] <twager> Anyone tell me the advantages of compiz-fusion over the normal kde desktop apart from eye-candy ?
[08:38] <Dekans> twager: scale plugin !
[08:38] <dthacker-work> twager: I see no advantages, so  I don't use it.
[08:38] <Dekans> a more dynamic display
[08:39] <Dekans> and almost all display work is delegated to your gra?ic card
[08:41] <twager> I do find that I run it to impress visitors but normal day to day I run kde or Gnome desktop
[08:45] <b4l74z4r> does anyone know if its possible to adjust the size of the external taskbar?
[08:45]  * dthacker-work has no idea what an external taskbar is
[08:46] <b4l74z4r> its when you have a seperate taskbar at the bottom, like in ubuntu
[08:48] <Ayabara> in gnome I hold ctrl-alt-shift and use arrows to move to another window, taking the active window with me. is there such a shortcut for kde?
[08:56] <Ayabara> !night
[08:56] <ubotu> It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds.  This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question.  Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake.  This is particularly true in the quieter channels.
[08:58] <fdoving> Ayabara: interesting question, i'll have a look, never used such a feature though. i always use alt and leftmousebutton then move the window.
[09:00] <Ayabara> fdoving: does that let you move it across desktops?
[09:00] <fdoving> Ayabara: if i want it to, yes.
[09:00] <fdoving> Ayabara: that is configureable somewhere, i don't like that feature so i disable it, but it is possible.
[09:01] <Ayabara> fdoving: ok
[09:12] <fdoving> Ayabara: try alt+f7, then use the arrow keys.
[09:15] <calcmandan> kubuntu rocks
[09:16] <harmental> hey guys...Can i safely uninstall initramfs???
[09:17] <Ayabara> fdoving: that didn't do anything for me. maybe it's a difference that I'm on kde4.
[09:17] <fdoving> Ayabara: ok, i'm on kde4 too, but you need to configure it yourself then, hang on.
[09:18] <fdoving> Ayabara: kmenu -> systemsettings -> keyboard & mouse -> keyboard shortcuts -> KDE component, select kwin in the dropdown -> then scroll down to Move window, and configure a shortcut of your liking.
[09:18] <Jucato> Ayabara: you have to set a shortcut for it
[09:18] <Jucato> oh fdoving's here...
[09:20] <fdoving> Ayabara: in kde it works like a 'toggle' option. you can't use only modifiers, you must have atleast one other button. and you just press they key-combo once, then move with the arrow keys and hit space to put the window there, or esc to revert your moving. Alt+f7 is the kubuntu-kde3 default.
[09:20] <fdoving> hi jucato :)
[09:20] <Jucato> hi fdoving!!! :)
[09:21] <fdoving> nice, alt+shift+f2 in kde4 is nice.
[09:21] <fdoving> 'run command on clipboard content'
[09:24] <Ayabara> fdoving: got it. thanks
[09:24] <fdoving> you're welcome :)
[09:28] <Ayabara> is there an easier way to change plasma theme than to edit ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc?
[09:29] <emilsedgh> Ayabara: i think 'not in 4.0'
[09:29] <emilsedgh> Ayabara: look in Configure Desktop, there is an option to change it for 4.1, but i think its not available in 4.0, take a look
[09:30] <Ayabara> emilsedgh: I can confirm that it's not in 4.0. thanks :-)
[09:30] <fdoving> i think that is a 4.1 feature.
[09:31] <Ayabara> when is 4.1 expected?
[09:32] <Ayabara> I won't do it often, so changing it in the config-file is ok with me. annoys me that plasma rewrites the file when it exits though
[09:32] <Ayabara> though I'm sure there's a good reason for it :-)

[11:00] <JasonWard> hello. why is it that I can run GTK programs but when I #include <gtk/gtk.h>  it can't find gtk.h ?
[11:01] <Jucato> JasonWard: because you need to install GTK+ headers
[11:02] <Jucato> not sure which packages those would be. you can try asking in #ubuntu which package installs GTK+ headers
[11:02] <JasonWard> ok thanks

[11:04] <Jucato> apt-cache search or in Adept Manager
[11:04] <JasonWard> ok thanks
[11:05] <TimS> Also, why is my system temp not showing up in Kima any more, it did, then I reinstalled Kubuntu, and it doesn't any more, is there a package that contains the sensors?

[12:12] <_ZeuZ_> guys, what changes when I do dist-upgrade that it changes the distro name in the ttys ?
[12:13] <_ZeuZ_> appart from the obvious response
[12:13] <_ZeuZ_> I mean wich file holds that info
[12:13] <stdin> robbb: in our wiki?
[12:13] <llutz>  _ZeuZ_ /etc/motd  /etc/issue
[12:14] <_ZeuZ_> lovely, thanks.
[12:14] <_ZeuZ_> motd I knew
[12:14] <_ZeuZ_> issue, I didn't
[12:14] <robbb> stdin ubuntu/kubuntu wiki
[12:14] <robbb> this link for example: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FujitsuStylisticST4000?action=edit
[12:14] <stdin> robbb: nothing you can do about that then
[12:14] <_ZeuZ_> will it cause any trouble if I modify that Line?
[12:15] <llutz> _ZeuZ_: i doubt that
[12:15] <_ZeuZ_> !/etc/stdin
[12:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about etc/stdin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <_ZeuZ_> !/etc/issue
[12:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about etc/issue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <_ZeuZ_> ¬¬
[12:16] <_ZeuZ_> just for the record, changing /etc/issue won't alterate the package downloading and stuff, right?
[12:16] <robbb> stdin great :)
[12:17] <stdin> _ZeuZ_: it will get overwritten when base-files gets updates
[12:17] <_ZeuZ_> what if I chmod it so that it cannot be changed?
[12:17] <stdin> chmod to what exactly?
[12:17] <llutz> _ZeuZ_: you may use dpkg-divert to prevent it from those changes
[12:17] <stdin> and what will you do when dpkg fails because of it not being able to install base-files?
[12:18] <_ZeuZ_> good question...
[12:18] <_ZeuZ_> well, then I guess I'll get a script to modify it back whenever base-files change their version...
[12:20] <llutz> _ZeuZ_:  use dpkg-divert
[12:20] <stdin> something like: dpkg-divert --divert /etc/issue --rename /etc/issue.distrib
[12:20] <llutz> that's a clean solution ^^
[12:20] <_ZeuZ_> :O Didn't thought of that...
[12:21] <iliya_> hi
[12:21] <_ZeuZ_> Well, I'm under hardy, seen an awesome performance, even though I've re-debianized it... that was the last thing I needed to change to remaster it...
[12:22] <_ZeuZ_> what about the last updates from hardy beta to hardy stable? is it recomendable to apply them now, or to wait 8 days more?
[12:22] <iliya_> Hi
[12:22] <iliya_> With gutsy, wireless is working for about two hours and than stops, restart isn't helping
[12:22] <iliya_> Knetwork manager -> device not found
[12:22] <iliya_> What to do?
[12:22] <iliya_> In windows, repair device helps
[12:23] <_ZeuZ_> iliya_ seems like hardware issue...
[12:23] <stdin> update whenever you feel like it, there's bound to be more in the next few days
[12:23] <iliya_> what to do
[12:23] <_ZeuZ_> stdin: should I expect regressions? or performance leaks?
[12:23] <stdin> no, just bug fixes
[12:24] <stdin> most things should be getting to the stable point now
[12:24] <_ZeuZ_> lovely, I had to take out the script that checks xorg...
[12:24] <_ZeuZ_> it locked me to 640*420
[12:24] <iliya_> in comand window wlan0 scan, shows list of networks
[12:24] <iliya_> but knetwork does not
[12:25] <_ZeuZ_> iliya_ seems like a problem with knetworkmanager, or with networkmanager/networkmanager-dispatcher...
[12:25] <_ZeuZ_> Try updating
[12:25] <iliya_> cry...
[12:25] <stdin> you should try feisty, it has newer drivers
[12:26] <stdin> erm, no you said gutsy
[12:26] <stdin> nevermind
[12:26] <_ZeuZ_> lol
[12:26] <iliya_> same reason I quit 6.06 7.04 and now 7.10 cryin at loud ;-)
[12:26] <stdin> you can download the hardy liveCD though, see if it will work when hardy ships
[12:27] <_ZeuZ_> stdin: do I need to reboot to make the change of the /etc/issue effective? because until now, it does not seem to be like /etc/motd.tail | /etc/motd
[12:28] <Dr_willis> i wonder if the kde4 wireless config stuff works better... heck ya could even try the gnome wireless config tools.
[12:28] <stdin> _ZeuZ_: it should just work
[12:28] <iliya_>  trie wirelesassistant but wont install, show some issue
[12:28] <Dr_willis> I thought a lot of those issue/motd files got generated at boot time
[12:29] <stdin> Dr_willis: both the gnome and kde frontends use the network-manager backed, so if one fails it's likely both will
[12:29] <Dr_willis> stdin,  i just recall on my laptop. i never could figure out one of them. :) the other one worked.. heh
[12:29] <Dr_willis> but i may be thinking of some OTHER alternative wireless config/icon/tools.
[12:29] <stdin> _ZeuZ_: there's also /etc/issue.net btw
[12:30] <stdin> i think it's only since gutsy that both use network-manager
[12:30] <iliya_> stdin, but I think network-manager is working, becouse list all networks at comand prompt
[12:31] <iliya_> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan , shows all networks
[12:31] <stdin> network-manager uses dbus and hal, it doesn't just "iwlist <device> scan"
[12:32] <iliya_> ?
[12:32] <stdin> hal is a hardware abstraction layer, dbus is a inter-process message bus
[12:33] <_ZeuZ_> so same thingy (divert) woulg go  to both files... right?
[12:34] <stdin> _ZeuZ_: yeah
[12:34] <_ZeuZ_> could you repeat the syntaxis once again?
[12:34] <stdin> something like: dpkg-divert --divert /etc/issue --rename /etc/issue.distrib
[12:34] <tobizaz> Hi, im having some problems installing Nvidia drivers on my laptop. tried enabeling the driver from restricted drivers in kubuntu, but when restarting X it says et failed to initialize the nvidia graphics device.. im running kubuntu 7.10 with a nvidia 7000 card.
[12:35] <_ZeuZ_> stdin: that would cause new /etc/issue files, to be copied to /etc/issue.distrib instead of /etc/issue right?
[12:36] <stdin> yeah, whenever something tries to install /etc/issue dpkg will rename it to /etc/issue.distrib
[12:38] <_ZeuZ_> I would need to do the same to /etc/issue.net right?
[12:39] <stdin> yeah, just change all the "issue"'s to "issue.net"'s
[12:39] <_ZeuZ_> well, the output pretty much confuse me...
[12:40] <_ZeuZ_> it says Adding local version of /etc/issue.distrib to /etc/issue.net
[12:40] <_ZeuZ_> whouldn't it be the other way around?
[12:41] <stdin> no, because you're applying it to /etc/issue.net
[12:41] <_ZeuZ_> sorry sorry, I meant:
[12:41] <_ZeuZ_> it says Adding local version of /etc/issue.distrib to /etc/issue
[12:43] <stdin> don't worry, it's the right syntax anyway. you can probably test it by dong "sudo apt-get --reinstall install base-files" and seeing if /etc/issue.distrib shows up
[12:43] <stdin> should do it when reinstalling, but i've never actually tried it like that
[12:44] <_ZeuZ_> cool, thanks... well, then I guess I'm going to wait for a couple of weeks until it gets stable to update anyways...

[13:08] <bill_> @stephan
[13:08] <stdin> stephan_: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealPlayerInstallationMethods (i think the w32codecs package has the codec too, see /msg ubotu w32codecs )
[13:08] <stephan_> My brother has VLC, he can't play rmvb files.  So I guess that means no
[13:10] <bill_> @stephan: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
[13:11] <stephan_> Thanks stdin I'll give it a try.
[13:11] <bill_> if that codecs are platform indepentend, looks like this page is windows stuff
[13:12] <_ZeuZ_> bill_ inittab == mtab
[13:12] <_ZeuZ_> I think xD
[13:12] <Dr_willis> i dident think vlc used the w32codecs.. they were all built in.
[13:12] <Dr_willis> inittab is not mtab.
[13:12] <_ZeuZ_> no
[13:12] <_ZeuZ_> but it contains the same information there
[13:12] <bill_> may the GUI settings allow to autologin a user anywhere? I cant find it

[13:23] <Dr_willis> ubuntu/kubuntu is one of the best disrtos ive see at detecting special keys on laptops/keyubards/media keys
[13:24] <ds187> tobizaz: no idea on that, but you could try an alternative way on installing nvidia drivers. look out this: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[13:24] <romme> Dr_willis: presently i have to run gnome-power-manager (ugh) to handle the brightness

[13:45] <tobizaz> Hi, im having problems getting the nvidia driver to work.. tried the restricted drivers management,but when starting x it gives the error "failed to initiialize the nvidia graphics device". im using an nvidia 7000 card on kubuntu 7.10
[13:45] <SlimeyPete> sometimes "binaries" refers to just pre-compiled executables, but usually it refers to some sort of installable package
[13:46] <Cannon> one other thing ... how do I find out which "version" of linux I have
[13:46] <Cannon> not sure if it's 7.04 or 7.10

[13:53] <SlimeyPete> hi
[13:55] <f1rs> i have a problem, my lan-card  RealTek RTL8139 works correctly in mode 100BaseT Half duplex, but it supports Full Duplex
[13:55] <f1rs> when i chage mode to Full Duplex, real speed is very low
[13:58] <f1rs> can you help me?
[13:59] <_ZeuZ_> hmmm.... I edited the text of the welcome screen on kcontrol module, now the kdm theme does not load... no kdm theme loads actually...
[13:59] <ubuntu> Hi everybody
[14:00] <user1> how can i know the exact watts that my pc and my moniter takes? (need to calculate watts to buy a new ups) ?
[14:00] <ubuntu> Sorry for my english, it depends from my weak mind :-)
[14:01] <mcgub> user1: http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU
[14:02] <Hamra> a look on the power supply should tell you how much watts the pc is taking
[14:02] <user1> Hamra mcgub powersupply just says AC 230v  and on moniter it says 1.2A
[14:03] <mcgub> 230/1.2=191 watts
[14:03] <Hamra> you need to look at the power supply from the inside of your PC case, usually, there is a sticker with all the voltages and powers it outputs
[14:04] <llutz> mcgub: power = current x voltage
[14:05] <user1> Hamra hmm inside.. where. powner supply box is cealed
[14:05] <mcgub> heh...right you are...need more coffee
[14:06] <user1> llutz mcgub so whats the watts. 130 x 1.2 or 130/ 1.2  ?
[14:06] <ubuntu> bye bye guys
[14:06] <llutz> user1: monitor 1.2A then 230 x 1.2
[14:06] <mcgub> 276 watts
[14:06] <user1> hm
[14:07] <llutz> user1: very roughly
[14:07] <mcgub> indeed
[14:07] <user1> that wont be exact
[14:07] <user1> oops. 130v is for cpu
[14:07] <Hamra> sealed? weird, on all power supplies i've seen so far, the sticker is on the side, if i open the left side of the case, it should appear right infront of me!
[14:07] <llutz> user1: if you want exact values, use a very expensive meter to measure power consumption
[14:07] <user1> but i think that it would be 130v for moniter too. coz local power supply is around it
[14:08] <user1> llutz hm.
[14:08] <user1> llutz there arent any predefined specs?
[14:08] <mcgub> kill-a-awatt monitor is 25 bucks...not so bad
[14:08] <user1> of power
[14:08] <llutz> user1: with those 20$ meters you can also estimate.
[14:08] <jussio1> user1: all pc's are different
[14:08] <user1> i have dual coare 1.8   and syncmaster 15" monter
[14:08] <Hamra> why would you need to calculate? a 650 W ups is good enough, do you really think there is more power consumption than that?
[14:08] <user1> jussi01 ^
[14:08] <jussio1> user1: some pc's have  350w power supply, some 500, depends what you personally have
[14:09] <f1rs> anybody can help me with my problem?
[14:09] <jussio1> !ask | f1rs
[14:09] <ubotu> f1rs: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[14:09] <user1> jussi01 i have dual coare 1.8   and syncmaster 15" monter
[14:09] <llutz> even if you have a 800w ps it doesn't mean your pc needs/uses all that
[14:09] <jussio1> user1: that tells me nothing
[14:09] <user1> jussi01 how can i know what is my cpus watts. (without a meter)
[14:10] <user1> Hamra well i dont things its above 500
[14:10] <jussio1> user1: as others have tolsd you, go look on the power supply...
[14:10] <f1rs>  i have a problem, my lan-card  RealTek RTL8139 works correctly in mode 100BaseT Half duplex, but it supports Full Duplex.when i chage mode to Full Duplex, real speed is very low
[14:11] <user1> jussi01 i was afraid you gonna say it. i hate touching electric thingies
[14:11] <user1> jussi01 k. let me then. i have to shutdown then. i gues
[14:11] <jussio1> user1: just go buy a cheap meter, or buy a ups with enought power that you are sure
[14:11] <SlimeyPete> erm the power supply rating doesn't mean much anyway - chances are your PC doesn't use anywhere near the limit on the PSU
[14:11] <jussio1> user1: SlimeyPete is corrrect.
[14:11] <user1> jussi01 thats why i am looking for wats. to define 'enough'
[14:12] <user1> brb
[14:12] <jussio1> user1: as someone else said, 650 should be enough for most pc's
[14:12] <user1> SlimeyPete you mean it uses less then the defined in psu>?
[14:12] <ds187> f1rs: what is on the other end?
[14:12] <user1> jussi01 someone said my cpu uses 220 wats
[14:13] <user1> SlimeyPete you mean it uses less then the defined in psu>?
[14:13] <f1rs> ds187: on the other end of cable?
[14:13] <ds187> yes
[14:13] <f1rs> switch
[14:14] <SlimeyPete> user1: yes
[14:14] <ds187> so, what happens when you put the RTL into autonegotiation mode?
[14:14] <ds187> is it 100hd then?
[14:15] <f1rs> ds187: no, i can change mode to 100fd,  but the real speed is near 100kb/s, but when i change to 100hd, speed is near 5mb/s
[14:16] <ds187> f1rs: yes, you told allready, perhaps the port on the switch is set to 100hd and not autonegotiation, and so when the rtl is in 100fd mode and the switch in 100hd it gets collisions
[14:17] <ds187> so what happens when you put your NIC to autonegotiation.....is it automatically put to hd or fd?
[14:18] <ds187> is it a manageable switch?
[14:18] <f1rs> no
[14:18] <kingkong> hello
[14:18] <f1rs> in windows all works correctly
[14:18] <ds187> hmm

[14:23] <swapnil> hi , I'm trying to install AR242x 802.11abg Wireless on my laptop.
[14:23] <swapnil> Ndiswrapper crashes
[14:24] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all, i having problem with a "D-Link DFE-690TXD 10/100Base, CardBus , PCMCIA " (pcmcia ethernet adapter). It works fine at home, with an asus router, but i don't get ip at this place, with an old, buggy noname router. The syslog says: http://pastebin.com/m6cfd0b36
[14:24] <MetaMorfoziS> Has anybody an idea that what i need to adjust to get this work?
[14:25] <jussi01> MetaMorfoziS: on hardy or gutsy?
[14:25] <MetaMorfoziS> hardy
[14:25] <jussi01> MetaMorfoziS: #ubuntu+1 then :)
[14:25] <MetaMorfoziS> i don'T tthink that this is hardy related problem
[14:26] <MetaMorfoziS> as i said it works... i just need to adjust something idiot parameter or etc
[14:26] <swapnil> is there any other way to install Wireless Lan drivers
[14:26] <jussi01> MetaMorfoziS: if you are on a hardy system, please use #ubuntu+1
[14:26] <MetaMorfoziS> Anyways, if somebody knwos the answer, please tell/pm me.
[14:32] <swapnil> hi All, I'm trying to install Atheros wifi driver using ndiswrapper. When i do "modprobe ndiswrapper" my system crashes
[14:33] <swapnil> Pls help if there is any other method to install wifi drivers
[14:34] <user1> theres no software to measure watts consumed by me computer?
[14:35] <MetaMorfoziS> user1 > i don't remember the apps name, but there are a gui (For kde) that shows the acpi values
[14:35] <MetaMorfoziS> anyways, you can sightseeing in /proc/acpi
[14:36] <MetaMorfoziS> and if it supported then that can be useful for you
[14:36] <stdin> powertop?
[14:37] <user1> MetaBot how can i see it
[14:37] <MetaMorfoziS> for example "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state " says the remaining/last etc capacity of my batts etc
[14:37] <kingkong> anyone installed ubuntu on ASUS R2E ?
[14:37] <MetaMorfoziS> for me they not supported but there are also a power_source and a processor directory in the /proc/acpi
[14:37] <MetaMorfoziS> i recomemnd you to check them
[14:38] <Hamra> in ksysguard, "system load" tab, there is a "load average (1 min)" graph, what is this?
[14:39] <user1> MetaMorfoziS theres nothing int that folder
[14:40] <stdin> Hamra: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)
[14:40] <MetaMorfoziS> then acpi is not your friend:)
[14:40] <MetaMorfoziS> user1 > if you are on an intel based system (at least you have an intel processor) then powertop as stdin said is the answer for you
[14:41] <user1> MetaMorfoziS whats powertop
[14:42] <stdin> !info powertop
[14:42] <ubotu> powertop (source: powertop): linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop. In component main, is extra. Version 1.8-1 (gutsy), package size 64 kB, installed size 396 kB

[14:46] <diazamet> thanks
[14:48] <stdin> and wait until hardy is released preferably
[14:49] <Hamra> powertop give a lot of suggestions at the bottom, is it safe to apply anything it suggests?
[14:49] <user1> what is powertop?
[14:49] <stdin> depends, generally yes

[16:11] <blekos> hi, do u know if the issues with wireless have been resolved?
[16:11] <crimsun> Roey: because it's obsolete in Linux 2.6.  Use libusb instead.  For an end user, this means sane should be handling it instead.

[16:11] <prateek> hi everybdy

[16:31] <Odd-rationale> sivaji: I haven't done nfs either... ;)
[16:32] <sivaji> Odd-rationale better you ask this @ #ubuntu or #linux
[16:33] <Odd-rationale> sivaji: I tried in #ubuntu. no answer...
[16:34] <sivaji> try #linux , #linux-india
[16:36] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: you need to set the proper permissions on the server-side.
[16:36] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: you can test by making a directory inside the mount, then set it's permissions to 777, then inside it make a file from the client.
[16:37] <Odd-rationale> fdoving: do I also need to be part of a group?
[16:37] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: that way you'll see what username and group the user gets on the server, and then you'll know who to give access to write.
[16:37] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: all users are part of a group by default, don't think more about the groups, it's just there. :)
[16:38] <Odd-rationale> fdoving: ok. but what do you mean by "make a dir inside the mount"? I can't get into /mnt
[16:38] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: on the server. go to the shared location, then 'mkdir' there.
[16:40] <Odd-rationale> fdoving: so on the server, make a dir with 777 permision?
[16:40] <fdoving> Odd-rationale: yes. inside the directory you have shared.
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> fdoving: then on the client, create a file in the newly created dir with 777 permisions?
[16:41] <Odd-rationale> *create a file
[16:42] <fdoving> yep.
[16:42] <Odd-rationale> fdoving: ok let me try that. Thanks! brb
[16:48] <blekos> i am deleting and iso file 4.4 gb from my ntfs partition and is taking ages, is tha normal? would it be faster if i issued a command (??) to directly deleted instead of having it in the recycle bin?
[16:48] <BizMan2008> any vnc client that displays screen 0 other than x11vnc
[16:48] <fdoving> blekos: yes, that would be faster. as it now first is moving the file, then really deleting it once you empty the trash.
[16:50] <fdoving> BizMan2008: krfb, kde-thing, but it's not that good as far as i know. you can try.
[16:50] <blekos> is there a spefic command 2 do that or i can do like windows  shift+del?
[16:50] <fdoving> blekos: i think you can do it like windows.
[16:50] <blekos> thnx
[16:52] <BizMan2008> yeah no good
[16:52] <BizMan2008> i gotta go from windows to linux
[16:53] <kikoloco> hi
[16:53] <makdaknife> hello
[16:53] <kikoloco> who is yuo
[16:54] <makdaknife> anyone know if vmware server is running properly on hardy?
[16:54] <makdaknife> !vmware
[16:54] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[16:54] <Jucato> makdaknife: maybe the people in #ubuntu+1 would know
[16:55] <makdaknife> Jucato: thanks... will check it out
[16:59] <spine55> hello everyone
[17:01] <linuxlover> I need to find all files which are less than 500 KB, which command should I use to search with that criteria
[17:02] <makdaknife> linuxlover: find
[17:03] <jeffrey> any way to make the KDE4.0 livecd boot to 16bit color mode instead of 24?
[17:03] <jeffrey> i can't seem to ctrl-alt-f#
[17:03] <linuxlover> makdaknife: would you plese tell me how do I find those files using the command find? please help, i am a newbie
[17:04] <fdoving> linuxlover: find . -size -500k
[17:04] <makdaknife> linuxlover: open konsole... find ./ -size +500k
[17:05] <makdaknife> linuxlover: open konsole... find ./ -size -500k
[17:05] <fdoving> linuxlover: that would start in the current directory, the dot (.) search for files with size less than 500k.
[17:05] <makdaknife> sorry was looking for files greater than 500k
[17:05] <linuxlover> ok I am trying it...
[17:06] <makdaknife> linuxlover: find / -size -500k (this will search your entire hard disk)
[17:07] <makdaknife> linuxlover: you may also want to check out filelight to hunt for large files etc
[17:08] <fdoving> and you can use kfind to search for files too, easier to figure out its options than to use find on the commandline.
[17:09] <linuxlover> thank you makdaknife............. your help lead me to successfully search those files. my best regards to you
[17:09] <makdaknife> linuxlover: np find is a very powerful tool... you can find out a whole lot more about it by typing 'man find' in konsole
[17:10] <matthew_> How can I find a package to install, if the app name is only one   letter, "r"?
[17:10] <yenny_29> hola
[17:12] <linuxlover> ok
[17:12] <linuxlover> getting a closer look at man find
[17:13] <matthew_> I am using apt-cache search..
[17:13] <catweazle> matthew_: apt-get install r TAB TAB
[17:14] <romme> i need help with the kde bug database
[17:21] <jeffrey> any way to force 16bit color on the 8.04 livecd?
[17:25] <jussio1> jeffrey: not certain, there may be a boot option. probably better to ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:38] <mefisto__> I need help setting up mythtv on gutsy. can anyone help me through it?
[17:54] <harmental> hey guys...im looking for a tool reprenting a chronometer....
[17:54] <harmental> any idas?
[17:56] <_myrtille_> have you tried kARM, i think it has a stopwatch?
[17:58] <flipstar> there is also an program called 'stopwatch' in the universe repos
[17:58] <flipstar> its simple but works great
[17:58] <allnickstaken> I have an unusual issue. I have a pc at a place where only wireless exists and I accidentally uninstalled knetworkmanager
[17:58] <allnickstaken> is there any downloads for the .deb?
[17:58] <allnickstaken> so I can burn it to a cd
[17:59] <SlimeyPete> allnickstaken: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/knetworkmanager
[17:59] <allnickstaken> replace gutsy with feisty since I haven't upgraded?
[17:59] <harmental> flipstar: yeah...i was wondering if anything else existed....i need eye candy...
[18:00] <SlimeyPete> allnickstaken: yeah
[18:00] <allnickstaken> thanks for the help :)
[18:00] <SlimeyPete> no problem
[18:02] <flipstar> harmental: maybe karm then
[18:03] <gon> !limewire
[18:04] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.
[18:04] <flipstar> !find timer | harmental
[18:04] <ubotu> harmental: Found: gtimer, ktimer, libtemplate-timer-perl, timer-applet, wmtimer (and 1 others)
[18:06] <harmental> flipstar: i think stopwatch will do the trick for now...
[18:07] <harmental> thx!
[18:07] <gon> !msg ubotu java first
[18:10] <gon> !msg
[18:10] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[18:12] <allnickstaken> oh and found the source to a much newer version. Is it advisable to install it? I have issues with current knetworkmanager for Kubuntu
[18:12] <allnickstaken> it seems to crash on nets that use WPA
[18:13] <flipstar> gon: use /msg ubotu <issue>
[18:13] <flipstar> allnickstaken: if this is still for your distro..sure
[18:14] <SlimeyPete> allnickstaken: it might not work correctly with your older networkmanager
[18:18] <allnickstaken> it's a general source from the maker but maybe I can try. I do have a custom kernel. Not sure if that kills its stability in some way
[18:19] <snikker> i've got a problem with KsCd. it tell me thst i've no permission to read cd... (same thing with sudo)
[18:25] <user1> is there a v goog gui for system stats. that tells all about cpu... ALL i mean. or max one can think off.?
[18:27] <Daisuke_Laptop> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[18:27] <emilsedgh> user1: try kde-look.org, look for karamba's there
[18:27] <emilsedgh> user1: and superkaramba
[18:28] <user1> Daisuke_Ido gui.. needed
[18:28] <user1> like cpu. ram, hardisk etc..
[18:28] <Daisuke_Laptop> wanted, perhaps
[18:28] <Daisuke_Laptop> but as i was starting to say
[18:28] <flipstar> user1: check out gkrellm
[18:28] <Daisuke_Laptop> there's surely a gui wrapper for that info
[18:28] <user1> ya
[18:29] <user1> flipstar emilsedgh k
[18:29] <NickPresta> user1, superkaramba, gkrellm, gdesklets, sysinfo
[18:30] <user1> flipstar no such package as gkrellm
[18:30] <Daisuke_Laptop> !info gkrellm
[18:30] <ubotu> gkrellm (source: gkrellm): The GNU Krell Monitors. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.10-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 776 kB, installed size 2160 kB
[18:30] <flipstar> user1: its in universe
[18:30] <user1> NickPresta none of the pacages are in kubuntu repos
[18:30] <Daisuke_Laptop> then you have a pretty major issue with your repos
[18:30] <flipstar> user1: you have to enable the universe repos for that
[18:31] <NickPresta> user1, sure they are. That is where I got them from. Make sure you have the universe and multiverse repos.
[18:31] <NickPresta> !universe
[18:31] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[18:31] <mefisto__> user1: kinfocenter perhaps?
[18:31] <user1> flipstar ic
[18:31] <user1> NickPresta thx
[18:31] <user1> flipstar thx
[18:32] <user1> mefisto__ need realtime system stats.
[18:33] <NickPresta> user1, ah. I don't think sysinfo gives you real time stats. The rest I mentioned do though.
[18:34] <user1> k
[18:34] <flipstar> user1: per default gkrellm show only a few..for temperatur, fans and power values install mbmon and hddtemp (these are deamons gkrellm can use)
[18:34] <user1> i hope they are quite extensively informative at aglace
[18:34] <user1> glance
[18:35] <user1> ic
[18:37] <flipstar> user1: it might take some time to configure..but then it will look like this http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7869/full4uu4.png
[18:38] <flipstar> at least it could..there are a lot of plugins
[18:39] <user1> hm
[18:39] <Cannon> if i load kubuntu off the live cd is it normal to lock the drive so I can't open it?
[18:39] <Daisuke_Laptop> uh...  yeah.
[18:39] <user1> let me see
[18:39] <Daisuke_Laptop> if it doesn't lock the drive, it's going to go fetch something that isn't in ram, and crash like the hindenburg
[18:39] <Daisuke_Laptop> (if you were to switch discs, that is)
[18:39] <Cannon> lol
[18:40] <saki> But...but...but...
[18:40] <Cannon> well i loaded it as a desparate measure ... am trying to give CentOS a go
[18:40] <Cannon> but hwne I instal;l that am not getting internet access
[18:40] <saki> The Hindenburg was one of the greatest marvels of technology.
[18:40] <Level15> Hi. I need to install a PIM server. What do you recommend?
[18:40] <Daisuke_Laptop> saki: so was the titanic, it still crashed :)
[18:40] <saki> =D
[18:40] <Cannon> lol
[18:41] <Daisuke_Laptop> i know nothing about centos :\
[18:42] <saki> Yeah, its Red Hat.
[18:42] <Cannon> nobody is responding in their irc :(
[18:42] <Cannon> even though it's over 300 strong
[18:42] <saki> Like I said, its Red Hat.
[18:42] <saki> Nobody cares.
[18:42] <saki> xD
[18:42] <Daisuke_Laptop> i know that, but i don't really have experience with redhat/fedora/centos at all :\
[18:43] <Cannon> :O
[18:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> there are red hat people, there are debian people, and there are others.
[18:43] <rootlinuxusr> and then there is the custom-builders!
[18:43] <saki> I'm like a confused linux user.
[18:43] <rootlinuxusr> and gentoo'ers
[18:43] <Cannon> i like kubuntu but my coding friend wants centos
[18:43] <saki> I have gentoo on two boxes, kubunt on another, and then LFS on my laptop.
[18:43] <rootlinuxusr> centos is cool, good for servers
[18:43] <saki> kubuntu*
[18:44] <rootlinuxusr> based on the gentoo, and LFS you're a custom-er
[18:44] <Daisuke_Laptop> one of these days i'll build a server...
[18:44] <rootlinuxusr> i myself love the entire apt-get, .deb system. whether it's 'buntu, or debian. Knoppix for LiveCD/DVD's =]
[18:44] <Daisuke_Laptop> right now all the file serving is done off of my desktop machine
[18:44] <martijn81> !aptfix | martijn81
[18:45] <saki> Yeah, thats why I threw Kubuntu on my main desktop.
[18:45] <Cannon> it's not easy ... at least for somebody with no experience and on meds :( lol
[18:45] <saki> Its rather quick and easy to use.
[18:45] <Cannon> it's hard to learn on meds period!
[18:45] <rootlinuxusr> haha meds.
[18:45] <flipstar> its also highly configureable :=)
[18:46] <Cannon> are you familiar with centos flipstar?
[18:46] <saki> Cannon, what are you trying to do?
[18:46] <flipstar> not really
[18:46] <Daisuke_Laptop> Cannon: the ONLY way to learn gentoo is on meds :)
[18:46] <Cannon> lol, install it with internet access
[18:47] <Cannon> LOL Daisuke_Laptop
[18:47] <saki> ... =(
[18:47] <Cannon> with a default install I had no interwebs
[18:47] <Daisuke_Laptop> however, it's worth it for the extra bit of performance you can squeeze out of a customized gentoo install
[18:47] <Thecks> OK, I have an issue and it would be awesome if somebody knows. I'm using Kubuntu and trying to view the other partitions (NTFS) the hard drive shows but it doesn't show any files inside. Basically, it's mounted but it's not reading it or something, any ideas?
[18:47] <saki> Did you setup your network properly?
[18:47] <Cannon> tried to configure it manually with ip, gateway, subnet and I haven't a clue what am doing
[18:48] <Cannon> well all the cables are plugged in like with the live cd! lol
[18:48] <Cannon> surely it should be automatic
[18:48] <Cannon> ?
[18:48] <Daisuke_Laptop> set it acquire a dhcp address automatically?
[18:48] <Cannon> yup
[18:48] <Cannon> didn't work
[18:48] <saki> Was your device setup properly?
[18:49] <Cannon> how do you mean?
[18:49] <saki> and do you have more than one NIC?
[18:49] <Cannon> NIC?
[18:49] <saki> Did your computer detect your Network Interface properly?
[18:49] <Cannon> when it was loading up it assumed there was a network cable unplugged
[18:49] <Cannon> it was the only [FAILED]
[18:50] <Cannon> but on a reboot the this live cd thats not the case
[18:50] <Cannon> everything is wired as it was with my kubuntu
[18:50] <Cannon> it is somewhat of a pain in the ASCII!
[18:50] <jontec> is there a quick and simple way for me to make a list of all of the packages that I currently have installed?
[18:51] <user1> An error occurred while enabling /media/cdrom.
[18:51] <user1> The system reported: mount: special device <device> does not existn
[18:52] <Cannon> bbiab
[18:52] <flipstar> jontec: dpkg -l
[18:52] <jontec> flipstar: gracias
[18:52] <Cannon> grassy ass?
[18:52] <Cannon> how ruuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
[18:53] <user1> An error occurred while enabling /media/cdrom.
[18:53] <user1> The system reported: mount: special device <device> does not exist  i inserted cd. it was not auto mounted as before. i manully tried. and the eror came
[18:55] <Level15> has anyone here used zimbra?
[18:56] <Daviey> Level15: yes
[18:56] <flipstar> user1: the mountpoint probably doesnt exist,try creating it first!
[18:57] <flipstar> btw how did you mount it manually ? the cdrom probably is /dev/scd0
[19:06] <snikker> i've got a problem with KsCd. it tell me thst i've no permission to read cd... (same thing with sudo)
[19:23] <kaminix> Anyone got a repo for new Amarok <IP_ADDRESS>?
[19:25] <BluesKaj> prolly in beta or some such, kaminix  ...alternate open source may the only way
[19:26] <kaminix> http://amarok.kde.org/en/node/454  Not in beta. ^^
[19:38] <billybobo231> what is a good app to publish to a blog? (blogger/blogspot)
[19:39] <rickey> hoe do i upgrade to 710 from704
[19:40] <rickey> what do i write in adept manger
[19:40] <mcgub> billybobo231: scribefire addon for firefox
[19:41] <flipstar> !upgrade | rickey
[19:41] <ubotu> rickey: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:41] <billybobo231> anything for kde?  therwise that sounds nice, thanks mcgub
[19:42] <flipstar> !find blogger
[19:42] <ubotu> Found: kicker-kblogger, liblogger-syslog-perl, nanoblogger, nanoblogger-extra
[19:42] <flipstar> adept might list more
[19:44] <billybobo231> thats great, thanks!
[19:49] <ubuntuLive> is there anything like Starburn for Windows that works for Linux?
[19:49] <flipstar> what actually is starburn ?
[19:49] <ubuntuLive> an intermedite burner
[19:49] <ubuntuLive> burns CDs and DVDs
[19:49] <ubuntuLive> no offence, but it looks better then K3B
[19:49] <flipstar> you might try brasero
[19:50] <ubuntuLive> right now I'm using the live CD of Kubuntu's last version, but I'll check it out
[19:50] <flipstar> in hardy brasero is default
[19:50] <flipstar> if you mean hardy with latest..
[19:51] <dwidmann> flipstar: only default if you're using gnome
[19:51] <ubuntuLive> and I'm using KDE
[19:51] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: there are many cd buring programs for linux, you just have to get them
[19:51] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: and youre on the livecd, so, thigns are minimal
[19:51] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Aware. It will be installed once the new Kubuntu comes out, for I'm sick of Windows XP crashing on me
[19:52] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: btw, kde or gnome makes no diff, gnome apps can run on kde and vice versa
[19:52] <ubuntuLive> That I already knew as well.
[19:52] <ubuntuLive> I just need some names to google so I can take a look
[19:52] <flipstar> http://www.gnome.org/projects/brasero/screenshots.html
[19:53] <flipstar> would look similar on kde i guess
[19:53] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: i would actually look on apt firtst
[19:53] <coreymon77> first*
[19:53] <ubuntuLive> is there also something like Q10? It's a full screen text editor, and it's useful for my writing
[19:54] <ubuntuLive> Brasero looks like it fits the bill :)
[19:54] <flipstar> ubuntuLive: there are dozen of text/code editors
[19:55] <ubuntuLive> flipstar: Any fullscreen ones though with not many distractions?
[19:55] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: linux is a full os, jsut like windows, all you have to do is a little apt-cache search or google searching, and you should find what you need
[19:55] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: vim :)
[19:57] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: anything that exists for windows will most likely have some sort of alternative for linux
[19:57] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Fully aware. This is the third time I've tried Linux.  The reason why I'm here and asking because I worry from Viruses and whatnot. I know it's next to impossible to get one on Linux... but as someone who has Windows Vista on a laptop that's crap, it makes me worry all the same
[19:58] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: If I remember correctly, it wasn't going to do the job... I don't remember offhand
[19:58] <coreymon77> dont worry, linux is not some hackers os, its a regular os with programs that you need
[19:58] <blekos> is there a deamon tool for linux?
[19:58] <coreymon77> although sometimes you have to make concessions
[19:59] <dwidmann> blekos: daemon tool?
[19:59] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Consitering most of my games are old, they will work with Wine if I remember correctly. And if not, I can cheat, run Windows in a vitural machine.
[19:59] <coreymon77> yup
[19:59] <blekos> to mount/ read an iso image
[19:59] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: games don't generally run well in virtual machines
[19:59] <blekos> virtual cd/dvd
[20:00] <coreymon77> i would think so
[20:00] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: Steam seemed to work fine when I ran it on the virtual machine in Vista
[20:00] <flipstar> blekos: you can use the command 'mount' for that
[20:00] <coreymon77> flipstar: isnt there some sort of graphical agent for that on apt
[20:00] <flipstar> coreymon77: gisomount..yes
[20:01] <coreymon77> blekos: there you go
[20:01] <flipstar> ubuntuLive: there is wine and cegega(non-free but better than wine) for win-games
[20:02] <blekos> so mount xx.iso /media/cd0?
[20:02] <flipstar> *cedega
[20:02] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: what VM were you using? I once tried playing Diablo 2 in a virtual machine (vmware-server) and the frame-rates were pretty bad, playable but bad, anything newer would probably be even worse
[20:02] <ubuntuLive> flipstar: Aware. I've read a lot into Linux while my XP was crashing, thank god.
[20:02] <dwidmann> wait, not BluesKaj....... mixing up my tabs
[20:02] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: there is also partitioning your drive and keeping doze on your computer purely for the reason of playing games
[20:02] <flipstar> blekos: sudo mount -o loop <iso> <mountpoint>
[20:02] <blekos> thnx
[20:03] <coreymon77> i never run in to those problems since im much more of a console gamer anyways
[20:03] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: see above .....
[20:03] <coreymon77> i like ut, but they have linux versions anyways
[20:03] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Meh. If they don't work I can wait. For the time being, better things can be done. I can finish my book...Vim doesn't cut the cake for the test editor
[20:03] <flipstar> ubuntuLive: linux is boring in that way..i run 'crashme' several hourse but it never crashes :(
[20:04] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: Uh... not the M$ shat one, the opensource one... don't remember the number
[20:05] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: m$ shat one? vmware-server isn't a microsoft piece of crap either ...
[20:05] <coreymon77> vmware is by vmware
[20:05] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: I meant, I wasn't using the MS one. MS Virtual PC 2007. I used a different one but I don't remember it's name
[20:05] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: vmware?
[20:06] <ubuntuLive> Maybe
[20:06] <ubuntuLive> I'm waiting on Vista to load SP1 so I can't tell you yet
[20:06] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: at any rate, gaming in a windows vm with vmware doesn't work very well, seeing as it won't give the video card direct access
[20:07] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: So Cedega and Wine would be best?
[20:07] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: hate to say it, but thats what you get for buying vista
[20:08] <bnex10> going to do something, and have to reboot
[20:08] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Hey, if gateway let me roll back to XP, I wouldn't be shitting bricks about coming to Linux
[20:08] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: yeah, pretty much, look them up on apps.db.org ... anything not rated "platinum" or "gold" is likely to have a bundle of issues
[20:09] <coreymon77> well, when i got my laptop, i got a mac
[20:09] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: Thanks to Gateway's poor handling of Windows Vista on me, I've trying to get away. Apple isn't a choice, too pricy.
[20:09] <coreymon77> so i have the mac lappy and the linux desktop
[20:09] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: Linux = cheap and good :)
[20:10] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: I wish the music player I used on Windows worked on Linux but no dice. Close... but only by name.
[20:10] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: Exactly.
[20:10] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: kaffeine or amarok = good
[20:10] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: what sort of music player are you looking for, because there are tons, pretty much anything to suit anybody
[20:10] <ubuntuLive> I read on Gizmodo that Mac was hacked in two days, Vista within a week... Ubuntu not within the month.
[20:10] <coreymon77> i somehow doubt that
[20:11] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: Something that looks small but plays a lot
[20:11] <coreymon77> its easier to hack doze than a mac
[20:11] <dwidmann> cli musicplayers, fully loaded gui players, and everything inbetween ...
[20:11] <ubuntuLive> The KMPlayer
[20:11] <SlimeyPete> ubuntuLive: that's possibly a little misleading though, as the Windows and Mac boxes were naturally more enticing targets for the hackers involved
[20:11] <ubuntuLive> SlimeyPete: I heard they had rewards for all though.
[20:11] <SlimeyPete> also, the vulnerability was in the Flash player, and the same problem exists in the Ubuntu port
[20:11] <dwidmann> ubuntuLive: kmplayer? mplayer? vlc? kaffeine? (those all double as movie players), xmms (very good, reminds me of winamp 3)
[20:11] <ubuntuLive> Gimme a minute, I can dig it up
[20:12] <coreymon77> w/e, im going to play wii
[20:12] <SlimeyPete> ubuntuLive: yes, but the rewards were not very high - they would have been mostly looking for kudos and publicity
[20:12] <snikker> i've got a problem with KsCd. it tell me thst i've no permission to read cd... (same thing with sudo)
[20:12] <p-f> Is there a graphical file browser that would allow me to easily modify files' "last modification" attribute? touch's format isn't the most pleasant to use...
[20:12] <ubuntuLive> dwidmann: The KMPlayer is a lot like WinAmp so that works
[20:12] <coreymon77> ubuntuLive: just remember, linux is not windows, so dont expect it or its programs to be the same
[20:13] <ubuntuLive> SlimeyPete: What better publicity would it be to break into Linux after breaking Windows and Mac? You're shooting all the hope down.
[20:13] <ubuntuLive> coreymon77: I know. If it was, I wouldn't be here ;p
