[09:45] <smurphy> -> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: ulogd is broken or not fully installed *lol*
[09:46] <Zaden> Hey room
[09:46] <miltos> hi ppl:-]
[09:46] <Zaden> is anyone here that can answer 2 questions i have
[09:46] <smurphy> genii: dpkg-reconfigure --force  ulogd :)
[09:47] <smurphy> seems to do the trick ...
[09:47] <Zaden> ?
[09:47] <genii> smurphy Ok, was just looking up man dpkg for correct switches :)
[09:47] <firecrotch> !ask | Zaden
[09:47] <ubotu> Zaden: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:47] <smurphy> Hehe... Sometimes I'm faster ;) Used to read Manapages since 1992 ;) so I usually know where to look for :)
[09:48] <Zaden> is Download Kubuntu 6.10 the full os or do i have to download something else?
[09:48] <firecrotch> Zaden: It's the full OS
[09:48] <smurphy> Zaden You can wodnload the full Internet if you want to - but the one disk usually is enough :)
[09:48] <Zaden> and how is the wifi support in kubuntu
[09:49] <genii> smurphy Anyhow, you should make sure to copy the /var/cache/debconf/config.dat     back so it has correct package states
[09:49] <smurphy> Zaden: Actually - I'm wifiing on a Mac-Mini - and utilization is very easy :)
[09:49] <Zaden> well it detect my notebooks built-in wireless ?
[09:49] <firecrotch> Zaden: It really depends on your wireless card.  Mine worked right out of the box, but others have problems
[09:49] <Zaden> kk
[09:49] <smurphy> This Directory is synced by dfault ...
[09:49] <smurphy> Zaden - what Notebook you have ?
[09:50] <Kuwanger> Hmm..  What's the least amount of RAM that's necessary to install, using the alternative ISO?
[09:50] <Zaden> Well i just ordered a new dell with amd duel core 2 TL-56
[09:50] <firecrotch> Zaden: If it works when you're just running it as a Live CD, it should work fine when you install.
[09:50] <smurphy> If I remember correctly - 20MB
[09:50] <genii> Kuwanger: 64Mb
[09:50] <genii> (in my experience)
[09:50] <Zaden> ok and if im having issues with it while running the live cd. What shale i do?
[09:50] <smurphy> Ah ? IO managed on 20 - but had to  -  after the bootup to create manually a swap of 60MB and use it ;)
[09:51] <acemo> anyone here has any experience with bluetooth headsets on kubuntu?
[09:51] <Zaden> Reason why i ask the wifi questions is gentoo has shitty support for wireless
[09:52] <Zaden> anyone want a legit non used vista serial?
[09:52] <firecrotch> Zaden: I tried Gentoo once, and I had no clue what I was doing, but somehow my wireless card worked :)
[09:52] <smurphy> Zaden: no... Thx ... Not using the stuff ... UT2k4 is running under Linux - so I don't need any windows stuff *lol8
[09:52] <Kuwanger> I assume it's possible to use loadlin instead of lilo or grub?
[09:52] <smurphy> Kuwanger: yes. Shouldn't be an issue.
[09:52] <Zaden> ya i never got it and they did not help me in the irc
[09:53] <Zaden> so im hoping this works better
[09:53] <firecrotch> Zaden: Can you give us the model of your laptop?
[09:53] <Zaden> if i an having a issue with my wireless and live cd does not work. What should i do to solve the problem
[09:54] <Zaden> Dell Inspiron 1501
[09:54] <Zaden> amd duel core 2 TL56
[09:54] <Zaden> 1 gig of ram
[09:55] <smurphy> Zaden: what chipset is it using ? ICH8/ICH7 ?
[09:55] <Zaden> not sure
[09:55] <Zaden> let me search
[09:55] <Zaden> i get ti tomarrow or so fedex says so
[09:55] <smurphy> Zaden: Issue the following command - and paste the result pls.: lspci | grep Ethernet
[09:56] <smurphy> I'll be offline for some minutes - have to reconfigure my Wlan-repeater - and it's on a nother Subnet with no Internet access ...
[09:57] <Zaden> one sec
[09:57] <acemo> dell inspirion 1501 has Dell 1390 802.11g Mini Wireless Card
[09:57] <Zaden> correct
[09:57] <firecrotch> Zaden: You'll need to use ndiswrapper to get it to work, but that shouldn't be too much of a hassle
[09:58] <Zaden> smur im in xp right now
[09:58] <firecrotch> !ndiswrapper
[09:58] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:59] <Kuwanger> What is "../main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz"?
[10:00] <firecrotch> Zaden: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092  This thread should help you out
[10:00] <Zaden> what doc am i looking for fire
[10:01] <acemo> anyone here has any experience with bluetooth headsets on kubuntu?
[10:01] <Zaden> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[10:01] <Zaden> is that correct for me
[10:01] <Kuwanger> Ah..something for a 256MB USB stick.. :/
[10:02] <Kuwanger> If I plan to mount the .iso on loopback on a fat32 filesystem, should I use the cdrom/... files?
[10:02] <firecrotch> Zaden: The thread that I linked to on ubuntuforums is specific to your laptop :)
[10:02] <Zaden> yes it looks great
[10:03] <Zaden> thanks
[10:03] <Zaden> i guess i will just direct connect my top to install all the stuff i need then test wireless out
[10:04] <CrypTom> Hi, is it possible to get pmount working with UUID? Meaning, I would like pmount to automatically mount my USB-devices on specific mount points based on the UUID.
[10:04] <Zaden> has anyone here heard of or used bluebug?
[10:05] <Kuwanger> CrypTom: Sounds like something udev could do.
[10:06] <fdoving> CrypTom: sounds like something the kde media manager can do.
[10:07] <fdoving> CrypTom: put the device in and have it mount itself, then rightclick on it (on the desktop or media:/) -> properties -> mounting -> select mountpoint.
[10:09] <seven11> i have a nvidia fx5200 how do i set up the drive at the moment i use nv
[10:10] <seven11> nvidia driver help please
[10:10] <CrypTom> fdoving: ah, great, I will try. I tried fstab, but that did not work
[10:12] <CrypTom> fdoving: I changed the mount point to my needs, unplugged and replugged it, but it still got mounted to the old mountpoint
[10:13] <fdoving> CrypTom: you can use fstab but it requires you to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/41BC-15D8 instead of for example /dev/sda1
[10:13] <seven11> in system settings the graphics card is nvidia geforce fx (generic) and the driver is nv... how do i get the right driver
[10:13] <fdoving> CrypTom: hum. strange, hang on. i'll try.
[10:14] <CrypTom> fdoving: fstab: I tried UUID=hexcode  /mntpoint ... (and I tried auto and noauto)
[10:15] <fdoving> CrypTom: /dev/disk/by-uuid/hexcode /mntpoint ....
[10:15] <Zaden> does wine run on kubuntu
[10:15] <bentob0x> how can my computer be seen on the network via Workgroup when I did set it up as mshome?
[10:15] <acemo> Zaden, yes
[10:15] <bentob0x> do I need to reload samba or something?
[10:16] <fdoving> bentob0x: yes, 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart' from a konsole.
[10:16] <bentob0x> oh lord :(
[10:16] <Zaden> Sorry for all the questions, What is the est install time it takes for kubuntu to fully install
[10:16] <seven11> anybody nvidia driver help
[10:16] <fdoving> Zaden: that all depends on your computer.
[10:17] <acemo> Zaden, took me bout 30 min
[10:17] <malik_> is it a good idea to use compiz with kde?
[10:17] <acemo> including adjusting the configuration to my likes
[10:17] <fdoving> CrypTom: works for me, to change the mountpoint in the mediamanager-way.
[10:17] <malik_> n whats better eyecandy for kde compiz/beryl/metacity/kwin?
[10:17] <Zaden> so 20 to 30 mins on a 2ghz duel amd x2 core?
[10:17] <fdoving> malik_: if you want those effects it's probably not that bad.
[10:18] <acemo> Zaden, about that should be yes
[10:18] <jack_> Jucato: hi, if i use a gnome application like gnucashhow can i manage that it looks just like the other kde apps?
[10:18] <fdoving> malik_: kwin and metacity does barely have effects, compiz and beryl does have effects, beryl is overloaded with effects.
[10:18] <fdoving> malik_: #ubuntu-effects got more info on that topic.
[10:18] <CrypTom> fdoving: in the properties dialog (you pointed out) I have no mount options set (exept mountpoint), is that correct? Or do I have to set "automount", which is done even without this option set
[10:19] <seven11> in system settings the graphics card is nvidia geforce fx (generic) and the driver is nv... how do i get the right driver
[10:19] <fdoving> CrypTom: no, you don't have to set anything else. i know it's kinda weird that it automounts even without automount option enabled. but if you enable automounting it will automount before the popup askin you what to do appears.
[10:20] <smurphy_> Anyone knows how to setup WPA on the CLI ? *lol*
[10:20] <fdoving> CrypTom: with automounting disabled, it doesn't mount until you close the popup. but i'm in the process of making it not mount when you select to 'do nothing'.
[10:21] <fdoving> smurphy_: get wpasupplicant.
[10:21] <smurphy_> fwdowing - it's in already ...
[10:21] <oem> is there a grapgics manager or screen resolution manager for kubuntu?
[10:21] <fdoving> smurphy_: then read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/README.wpa_supplicant.conf.gz
[10:21] <fdoving> oem, krandrtray is nice.
[10:21] <smurphy_> But I have  Firewall I want it to run on - and no KDE/Gnome on it :)
[10:21] <smurphy_> Thx.
[10:22] <fdoving> smurphy_: you can read it with 'zless /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/README.wpa_supplicant.conf.gz'
[10:23] <CrypTom> fdoving: well, it still mounts to the old mountpoint...
[10:23] <smurphy_> fdoving - thx. I'll check it out :)
[10:23] <fdoving> CrypTom: weird.
[10:24] <oem> where do i get krandrtray?
[10:24] <fdoving> oem, should already be installed. kmenu -> run -> 'krandrtray'
[10:26] <oem> ah yes much better lol ty
[10:29] <smurphy_> fdoving - where exactly has the wpasupplicant file has to reside ? I find 3 different locations - as described in /var/lib/dpkg/info/wpasupplicant.conffiles
[10:30] <intelikey> smurphy_ dpkg -L wpasupplicant
[10:31] <bentob0x> is it me or the whole samba interface is very flakey?
[10:31] <smurphy_> bentobox: Nope - Windows is very flaky ...
[10:31] <bentob0x> I'm on kubuntu
[10:31] <bentob0x> ...
[10:32] <smurphy_> intelikey: Problem is rather - that I have no GUI for setting it up - and I just try to figure out how all that stuff fits together ...
[10:32] <bentob0x> I'm trying for the last week or so to share a folder on the network to a specified user so he can modify files and it's not working
[10:32] <smurphy_> bentobox: So why to you need samba then ?
[10:32] <bentob0x> coz nfs didn't work
[10:32] <bentob0x> <- big linux noob
[10:32] <smurphy_> nfs fifn't work ? under Linux ?
[10:33] <intelikey> sounds more like a permissions issue to me.
[10:33] <bentob0x> yea, I decided to migrate my two office computers onto linux and its been fantastic for everything except networking
[10:33] <smurphy_> yep...
[10:33] <bentob0x> samba, firestarter, user rights etc
[10:33] <bentob0x> headaches and productivity drops
[10:33] <bentob0x> :(
[10:34] <|GaiJin|> ehm... finnes det en mte  slippe  restarte maskinen nr jeg setter inn en SATA disk. Det er tilsynelatende lett i windows, men jeg vil ha det her p denne maskinen...
[10:34] <smurphy_> bentobox: I have 6 Computers over here... I use NFS only for installation DVD's - all the other stuff use  sshfs. more secure ;)
[10:34] <bentob0x> ok so can anybody help me going back on the productivity tracks please
[10:34] <bentob0x> I want to share my /var/www/ folder to one user only
[10:34] <bentob0x> for full access
[10:34] <smurphy_> bentob0x: nfs is easyer.
[10:35] <bentob0x> I don't mind the method, I just want it to work on the network without compromising security
[10:35] <smurphy_> bentob0x: MAke sure you have the users with the same Id's on both sides. E.g.: id <username> shoudl show the same user=ID on all computers;
[10:35] <|GaiJin|> Doh... wrong channel
[10:35] <bentob0x> ah and what if it isn't the same id?
[10:35] <smurphy_> Then - configure NFS. Make sure nfs-server is installed on the nfs-server.
[10:35] <smurphy_> bentob0x - then you have to adapt the ID's ...
[10:36] <bentob0x> hmm
[10:36] <|GaiJin|> Is there a way to get linux to discover a Sata disk as I plug it in, without reboot??
[10:36] <smurphy_> NFS/Samba etc. works with user ID's. The Username is not important.
[10:36] <smurphy_> GaiJin: Depends on your Hardware. Might work.
[10:36] <|GaiJin|> got any reading material?
[10:36] <bentob0x> ok smurphy_, I'm going to have a look at it then and come back to you in a minute
[10:37] <bentob0x> thx for help
[10:37] <smurphy_> GaiJin: not at hand. no. I have it running on an Epia-Board. I just force the system to rescan the S-ATA bus. That's all.
[10:37] <smurphy_> bentob0x: p.
[10:37] <smurphy_> sorry folks - I'll be offline for some minutes ... Have to reconfigure another Network-Box.
[10:37] <perrin> hi,  can anyone help me with a display / font issue? you can see it at http://tinyurl.com/38q7ko.  the text in the box is add and pixelated, and i cant seem to work out how to change it.  Its in other programs as well, not just the displayed one.  Thanks!
[10:38] <intelikey> numeric user/group id's will work   although if they very from one box to another you may give two or more users full access to the files.
[10:38] <alain> bonjour
[10:38] <intelikey> howdy
[10:39] <alain> il y a des franais ? :/
[10:39] <intelikey> !fr
[10:39] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[10:40] <intelikey> no jave here dude  and i don't do windows either
[10:40] <intelikey> :)
[10:40] <intelikey> java even
[10:41] <bentob0x> ok I've disabled my samba deamon all together and shared the folder /var/www/ via NFS with NFS Options Public (checked) and Writeable (checked)
[10:42] <bentob0x> but I don't linke the idea of having that folder publicly shared
[10:43] <bentob0x> now, what do I need to use on the other computer to see the network share?
[10:43] <bentob0x> as we won't use samba from now so no samba client right?
[10:45] <intelikey> i don't know anything about networking.   i'd be forced to just use ssh     that's all i know.
[10:46] <perrin> hi,  can anyone help me with a display / font issue? you can see it at http://tinyurl.com/38q7ko - the text in the box is odd and pixelated, and i cant seem to work out how to change it.

[10:51] <bcochofel> Hi, I'm from Portugal and I've installed Kubuntu 6.10. I'm having troubles with my keyboard
[10:51] <bcochofel> Where can I set the correct key layout?
[10:52] <Smurphy_> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse
[10:52] <Smurphy_> Sorry - in regional & Language ;)
[10:52] <Smurphy_> DEfine there the Keyboard layout.
[10:53] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: I've done that but still I can't use my accents
[10:53] <bentob0x> I have enabled  NFS now so how can I see this machine from the other machine?
[10:54] <bcochofel> I don't have the LANG vars set and I don't know why?
[10:54] <Smurphy_> on the other machine - issue the command: showmount -e <server-ip>
[10:54] <Ash-Fox> bcochofel, you probably didn't install the needed locales
[10:55] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: yep... Click on install Language.
[10:56] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: Something like kde-18ln-pt?! I have.
[10:56] <bentob0x> either it's not doing anything or it's taking a very long time to do something
[10:56] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: This should show you if the NFS Server is providing you mount-point/share :)
[10:56] <bcochofel> I don't have accents even on the login screen
[10:56] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: What command exactly did you enter ?
[10:56] <bentob0x> nothing
[10:56] <bentob0x> showmount -e <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:57] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: <IP_ADDRESS> is the NFS-Server ? or is the router ?
[10:57] <bentob0x> it's still blinking
[10:57] <teacher> hey. How can I sort by size in konsole ????????? and print by name??????????
[10:57] <bentob0x> it's this  machine,
[10:57] <bentob0x> the NFS-Server
[10:57] <Smurphy_> bcohifel: in that case - add a language for the keyboard...
[10:57] <intelikey> howto find what HorizSync & VertRefresh    i cau use ?    looked in xorg.conf figuring to find a range  but it never mentions them ?
[10:57] <Smurphy_> the local machine ?
[10:57] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: the local machine ?
[10:58] <Smurphy_> then issue: showmoune -e localhost
[10:58] <teacher> hey. How can I sort by size in konsole ????????? and print by name??????????
[10:58] <bentob0x> ok got you
[10:58] <bentob0x> sorry
[10:58] <bentob0x> Export list for localhost:
[10:58] <bentob0x> /var/www (everyone)
[10:58] <intelikey> teacher man sort
[10:59] <Smurphy_> bantob0x: Argh... No security at all ! *lol* if I have access to your Lan - I can do all with your files :)
[10:59] <bentob0x> aherm ...
[10:59] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Ok - so you have access to it: No try to mount that directory locally - using nfs.
[10:59] <Smurphy_> betnob0x: mount -t nfs localhost:/var/www /mnt/nfs
[10:59] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: make sure you create /mnt/nfs first
[11:00] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: then issue: mount
[11:00] <intelikey> man sort   man ls   paying attention to -s    teacher
[11:00] <Smurphy_> bentobox: should show you a new mount point under: /mnt/nfs
[11:00] <bentob0x> ok this works
[11:01] <Smurphy_> bentobox: OK. I would opt to set a little bit more security: You /etc/exports file - adapt it and make sure you have:
[11:01] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: I have done that also. I have accents under ttyN, the problem is only under X11
[11:01] <Smurphy_> bentobox: /var/www (rw,sync,root_squash) - this would restrict super-user access a little - also - I'd put your Lan in front: <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> to restrict access to the local LAN only.
[11:02] <bentob0x> so basically : /var/www <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(rw,sync,root_squash)?
[11:03] <intelikey> seems there is always more than one way to debark a felion
[11:03] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Then under system settings -> regional Language -> Keyboard Layout - Enable the Button : Enable KLeyboard Layouts. This will put you a button in Kicker bar - and there - select which keyboard you want to use.
[11:03] <NeXaLb> salve
[11:03] <Smurphy_> bcohoftel: You need to have this options configure though - to have the portugues keyboard layout enabled ;)
[11:04] <Smurphy_> betnob0x: Yep. Correct. restart the exportfs-directove with: exportfs -ra - and the system should reread the conf-file.
[11:04] <|GaiJin|> Smurphy_: About the rescanning of the S-ATA bus, mind giving me a hand??
[11:05] <Smurphy_> GaiJin: Did that 6 months ago. don't remember. I took the hints from a SCSI list at that time...
[11:05] <bentob0x> exportfs: could not open /var/lib/nfs/etab for locking
[11:05] <bentob0x> exportfs: can't lock /var/lib/nfs/etab for writing
[11:05] <bentob0x> is this normal?
[11:05] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: prepend a sudo in front. e.g. sudo exportfs -ar :)
[11:06] <|GaiJin|> Smurphy_: okies...
[11:06] <bentob0x> oh lord
[11:06] <alain> fr
[11:06] <bentob0x> k done
[11:06] <bentob0x> and working
[11:06] <alain> franais
[11:06] <bentob0x> !fr
[11:06] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:06] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Under ubuntu- you are a standard user. You always need remmber that system stuff requires sometimes Admin-access ;)
[11:06] <Smurphy_> alain: OUaips - mauvais channel ici... C'est anglais :)
[11:06] <bentob0x> hehe yes I know, just that when pressure is on you forget those basic things
[11:07] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Yeah :) Happens to me under Windows :) *rotflbtc*
[11:07] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: isn't there a system config option?
[11:07] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: for kdm?
[11:07] <Smurphy_> bcochtel: Hmmm. Dunnoi - never troied. I work with 6 languages over here - so I require that ...
[11:09] <bentob0x> ok now my mount is all strange
[11:09] <bentob0x> the /mnt/nfs thing
[11:09] <bentob0x> --------- ? ?    ?       ?                ? nfs
[11:09] <bentob0x> that's what I have
[11:09] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: before you modify the system setting s- you should of course unmount that ;)
[11:09] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: umount /mnt/nfs
[11:09] <Smurphy_> and then remount :)
[11:09] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: even with the PT flag under toolbar I'm not able to use accents in the kconsole
[11:10] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: is there any other package needed?
[11:10] <Smurphy_> Ah 0 this might be the Leyboard type in X configuration.
[11:10] <intelikey> oh KRAP!  ulimit not working for root
[11:10] <bentob0x> k I'm getting permission denied now
[11:11] <bentob0x> no it works with IP
[11:11] <bentob0x> not with localhost
[11:11] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: yes - you can't mount using the localhost :) As localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>) is not allowed. only the local IP ... <IP_ADDRESS> can mount it :)
[11:12] <bentob0x> I suppose it's due to the changes in the exports file
[11:12] <bentob0x> k got it
[11:12] <bentob0x> it starts to make sense now
[11:12] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Edit your X-Confioguration file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adapt the correct keyboard. Should do the trick.
[11:12] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Had ablut 120 Systems using NFS - I had to understand how it works *lol*
[11:12] <bentob0x> yea I'd like to get a good book to learn the guts of it
[11:13] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Then restart X-windows - e.g. logout, and in KDM tell it to restart the x-Server.
[11:13] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: 15Year Linux experience ... No book pays off there ;)
[11:13] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: that's why I think there's something wrong. I have. My xorg.conf is equal to one that I have on ubuntu (even the keyboard is the same) and under ubuntu works
[11:13] <intelikey> or ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:14] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: hat does the line XkbLayout and XkbVariant in /etc/X11/xorg.conf look like ?
[11:14] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Now - all you ave to do is to mount that nfs-server from the reote boxes. Try it out.
[11:14] <bcochofel> the GDM conf has something for setxkbmap and xmodmap and I don't see that in KDM
[11:15] <bentob0x> yep, I just did but it seems to take a while
[11:15] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: if it works - add an entry in /etc;/fstab for these to be ounted at boot-up and you;re doine.
[11:15] <intelikey> why will ulimit not work for root on this box?
[11:15] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Cause under KDE - the user can decide what to use...
[11:15] <intelikey> oh wait. i think i know.    it's not a login shell it's su -    ...
[11:16] <bentob0x> that command is still running
[11:17] <bcochofel> XkbLayout pt
[11:17] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: whic command ? remote box ?
[11:17] <bentob0x> yep
[11:18] <bentob0x> sudo mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/var/www /mnt/www_laurent
[11:18] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Do you see the "Flag" button in kicker ???
[11:18] <bentob0x> that's  on the remote machine
[11:18] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: on which host you do that ?
[11:18] <intelikey> well ulimit works for logins  so i guess that will do.    odd that ulimit wont work on   su -
[11:18] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: yes, portuguese flag
[11:18] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: ok - you have a firewall running on your Server ? Packet-Filter ?
[11:18] <Mask> find . -size +0c -printf '%s\n' | sort -n
[11:18] <bentob0x> firestarter
[11:19] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Then open a konsole - and type what you want ... to check.
[11:19] <Mask> find . -size +0c -printf '%s\n' | sort -n this is printing size. I want name??    ?????
[11:19] <Smurphy_> bentobox: Then disable the firewall - just for testing ... :)
[11:19] <Mask> intelikey find . -size +0c -printf '%s\n' | sort -n this is printing size. I want name??    ?????
[11:19] <bentob0x> Smurphy_: by having this in exports : /var/www/ <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(rw,sync,root_squash), does it not restrict it only to 0.0?
[11:19] <intelikey> '{}'
[11:20] <Smurphy_> bentobox: <IP_ADDRESS> is the netmask. it restricts it to <IP_ADDRESS> up to <IP_ADDRESS> - all in between can access it.
[11:21] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: BTW - you have access it with <IP_ADDRESS> didn't you ? ;)
[11:21] <intelikey> Mask what's wrong with   ls -S   ?
[11:21] <bentob0x> what you mean? locally?
[11:21] <bentob0x> on the same machine?
[11:21] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: In a console on your NFS-Server (Where te firewall is active) checik the firewall logs - eventually even a dmesg should gove you informations which ports are locking it all.
[11:22] <Smurphy_> yes - but we used the IP of the machine :)
[11:22] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: still no good
[11:23] <bcochofel> my menus have both portuguese and english strings
[11:23] <bentob0x> looks like port 111
[11:23] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: in that case - don't know what is wrong ...
[11:23] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Ah - that's because not all menus have been translated :) *lol*
[11:24] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: ok - Enable access to port 111 for the Lan <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> - and it should work.
[11:24] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: eventually - the portmapper also wants to access ... But check with that one first. it's been 9 years I used NFS through a firewall :) *lol*
[11:24] <bcochofel> ok, thanks
[11:25] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: You can join the translation team ... it's a hell of a work - and nobody thansk you for it. I know by experience. I translated KDE 1.0 from englisch to French *lol*
[11:25] <bentob0x> what's port 973?
[11:26] <Smurphy_> don't know: grep 973 /etc/services
[11:26] <Smurphy_> doesn't exist...
[11:26] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: I believe that isn't the problem, I have another kubuntu that has all the menus in portuguese but the keys has the same problem
[11:27] <bentob0x> nothing on grep 973
[11:27] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: I don't know what's wrong then... Sorry.
[11:27] <bcochofel> Smurphy_: all pcs with ubuntu have the right kbd, I'm only getting problems w kubuntu
[11:27] <Smurphy_> betnob0x: I know. tried it here ...
[11:27] <bentob0x> :)
[11:28] <Smurphy_> bcochofel: Eventually the wrong keyboard-type configure in kubuntu.
[11:28] <bcochofel> !pt
[11:28] <ubotu> pt is Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[11:28] <bentob0x> bcochofel: try #kde maybe?
[11:28] <bentob0x> they are aware of some issues that is kde-specific on ubuntu
[11:31] <intelikey> Mask or did you mean     find . -size +0c -print       find . -size +0c -exec echo '{}' \;      or some other veriant ?     but if i had a clue what and why i could probably give better addvice.
[11:41] <genii> bentob0x: Look up any standard port number assignment at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers  It may also be some remapped port for a common service in your case.
[11:41] <genii> bentob0x: sudo netstat -a|grep 973 may give you some clue
[11:42] <bentob0x> now I just got some 614 port blocked by my firewall
[11:42] <bentob0x> again, the mount command doens't work
[11:42] <bentob0x> it hangs
[11:42] <bentob0x> juts got a timed out reply
[11:44] <bentob0x> what's npmp-gui?
[11:51] <bentob0x> should I create a rule in my firewall to open 614?
[11:52] <Smurphy_> yes ...
[11:52] <Smurphy_> but check the logs first ...
[11:53] <bentob0x> which logs?
[11:54] <bentob0x> ok it's mounted now but on read-only
[11:54] <Smurphy_> bentobox: why read only ?
[11:55] <bentob0x> dunno
[11:55] <bentob0x> I mean the other machine doesn't have write access
[11:56] <intelikey> i just couldn't stand it anymore  i deleted 20 links from rcS.d and 28 from rc<default_runlevel>.d     sorry guys i simply can not tolerate the default setup.    i really tried hard to keep it default.
[11:56] <Smurphy_> :)
[11:56] <miltos> for your info ...vlc doen't work well with kubuntu...I reinstalled kubuntu cause i thought there was a problem with the sound...but the problem was with VLC media player...
[11:57] <bentob0x> vlc works fine here miltos
[11:57] <miltos> movie player works pretty well
[11:57] <miltos> I've no sound with VLC
[11:57] <intelikey> those 48 scripts not running at boot time should help  maybe i can leave the rest as is for now.
[11:58] <intelikey> miltos so tell vlc to use alsa output
[11:58] <intelikey> it's confiturable
 how do i tell it?
[11:58] <intelikey> configurable maybe.
[11:58] <intelikey> in it's menu
[11:58] <intelikey> time to go later folks.
there is no such a thing in VLC
[12:02] <bentob0x> Smurphy_: I have this line in exports as we did earlier on : /var/www/ <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(rw,sync,root_squash)
[12:02] <bentob0x> but still, the second machine doesn't have write access
[12:02] <oem> i cannot get my game to use more ram off of my agp card can anyone help me
[12:03] <oem> the card isnt rendeeeeering the graphics quickly enough
[12:03] <Smurphy_> bentob0x: Root will not have write access. only a user with the same uid as on the server itself :)
[12:03] <oem> anyone help me?
[12:04] <bentob0x> ok and how can I set that up?
[12:04] <bentob0x> oem: what's your video card?  did you install the right drivers?
[12:05] <oem> sec let me install a different set
[12:05] <Smurphy_> check the user id's .. Or root write access ???
[12:05] <bentob0x> eeh no :)
[12:06] <bentob0x> so what would be the best policy for this?
[12:06] <bentob0x> should I create a userid on the server with a specific ID and create the same ID on the client machine and then mount using that user?
[12:07] <bentob0x> where could I get a good tutorial/howto/article on user management etc?
[12:07] <Smurphy_> dunno :) /etc/passwd ??? :)
[12:09] <carola> hallo
[12:10] <carola> ich hab ein problem ... :( ich hab mit adept ein paar pakete aus gnome installiert, neugestartet, und nun startet gnome statt kde. was muss ich denn tun damit kde wieder startet?

[12:45] <baz> how do you get adept to install packages such as g++? ive tried all sorts and t doesnt pick up any additional packages
[12:45] <oem> it wont give me the settings tool kit without taking the glx away
[12:45] <SolidSource> oem: it does
[12:46] <SolidSource> oem: just doesn't do it like you think
[12:46] <oem> ?
[12:46] <SolidSource> oem: use run command and type "nvidia-settings"
[12:46] <oem> so how does it do it then?
[12:46] <oem> it did
[12:46] <oem> i did *
[12:47] <SolidSource> then it should bring up a window for ya

[12:51] <oem> yes i installed the nvidia glx correctly got my game to play in three d however it isnt rerndering fast enough isnt using any ram.....and i have plenty
[12:51] <gemidjy> I delete ~/.mozilla and yet firefox gets the old settings...strange

[01:00] <SolidSource> oem: sudo is for command line and kdesu is for graphical
[01:00] <SolidSource> either or command is the same
[01:00] <SolidSource> kdesu = to run graphical app as SU
[01:04] <oem> would that be the same as going to monitor and system settings then clicking on admin then click on hardware ?
[01:04] <oem> becasue kdesu doesnt bring anything up
[01:04] <SolidSource> oem: actually no
[01:06] <oem> ok then let me reboot and see if the kdesu works then

[01:36] <smile> i've a problem with Beryl inkubuntu dapper, i installed it but it freeze all widow & i cant see decoration of windows ... any help plz ?????
[01:36] <frojnd> my path is set to /usr/bin/vlc
[01:36] <frojnd> but vlc can't play vmw..
[01:36] <frojnd> how can I set for vmw formats for mplayer..
[01:37] <smile> frojnd: wmv not vmw !!
[01:38] <smile> frojnd: it's a format specified to windows .. u can just hear voice .. no video .. right ?
[01:38] <frojnd> anyway it doesn't play when I click on a link..
[01:38] <rickvanniekerk> nosrednaekim: I can't find the 915resolution pack
[01:38] <frojnd> yes,,, just voice
[01:38] <frojnd> and for that  I wanna set mms protocol to mplayer..
[01:38] <xenalise> I hate silly little bugs
[01:38] <frojnd> just don't know where is mplayer P
[01:38] <SolidSource> smile: beryl doesn't work with dapper, XGL works in edgy and beryl and xgl both work in feisty....one reason is xserver and the other is kernel
[01:39] <xenalise> beryl works in edgy
[01:39] <nosrednaekim> rickvanniekerk: do you have universe repositories enabled?
[01:39] <xenalise> I've had it running before
[01:39] <xenalise> Quite nicely too :P
[01:39] <smile> SolidSource: but AIXGL workded fine .. but just beryl freeze my windows
[01:40] <smile> frojnd: u want play mms radio internet ?
[01:40] <rickvanniekerk> nosrednaekim: I don't know. How do I check it?
[01:40] <frojnd> smile: mms videos...
[01:40] <SolidSource> smile: yes, xgl does work, but beryl is different and very unstable
[01:40] <frojnd> smile: mms://wmedia.siol.net/glasbeni_video_spoti/moby_and_mylene_farmer-sliping_away.wmv

[01:41] <smile> frojnd: u can play it via Firefox ?
[01:41] <ubotu> rickvanniekerk: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[01:41] <frojnd> smile: how ?
[01:41] <smile> SolidSource: but Compiz too dont work to me :-(
[01:41] <smile> SolidSource: it works with Edgy !
[01:42] <smile> frojnd: follow me ...
[01:42] <SolidSource> smile: beryl and compiz are essencially the same...
[01:42] <frojnd> smile: be my guide
[01:42] <SolidSource> smile: again dapper doesn't have the kernel nor xserver versions that edgy gets
[01:43] <smile> frojnd: (1.) Open Firefox, type "about:config" (no quotes) in the address window, and click enter.
[01:43] <frojnd> smile: done
[01:43] <smile> SolidSource: so ? no solution to run Compiz or Beryl ? :-(
[01:43] <smile> frojnd: (2.) Right click on the window and choose <New>, then <String> from the pop-up menu that appears.
[01:44] <frojnd> smile: done
[01:44] <SolidSource> smile: none for dapper that I know of, edgy has work arounds
[01:44] <smile> frojnd: (3.) In the first pop-up box, enter: "network.protocol-handler.app.mms" (no quotes,
[01:44] <bumzo> !ntfs
[01:44] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:44] <frojnd> smile: done
[01:45] <smile> frojnd:  and it might just be easier to cut 'n paste this into the box).
[01:45] <smile> SolidSource: ok .. i should forget so ?!
[01:45] <frojnd> "this" ?

[01:52] <smile> frojnd: now i can play mms protocole fine

[02:21] <SolidSource> who says you can't have your way....blackdown and nspluginwrapper is my new friend
[02:23] <senwei> hi all
[02:24] <bxnp> ecetahmaz: http://www.scribus.net/
[02:26] <pinguin_> #linux
[02:26] <bxnp> ecetahmaz: did you visit the link
[02:26] <Zaden> Is it worth download the 4 gig amd iso from torrent
[02:27] <Zaden> or just the basic live cd
[02:27] <SolidSource> Zaden: for the most part...the CD is fine
[02:27] <jeffto> Hi everybody
[02:27] <pinguin_> Hi
[02:28] <bxnp> Zaden: what kind of iso you are want to download
[02:29] <jeffto> I've a question related to setup kubuntu edgy local hour, I have another operative sistem installed but kubuntu's hour never is the right hour of my country, how I can reconfigure that, I think that when I installed I don't use the right option for hour
[02:30] <ecetahmaz> bxnp not yet i`m going to o now
[02:30] <bxnp> oke and join #scribus on this server
[02:31] <bxnp> jeffto: right click on the clocl and reconfigure it
[02:32] <Zaden> the i386.iso  will install on a amd correct
[02:32] <faidillinger> hi there
[02:32] <fdoving> Zaden: correct.
[02:32] <faidillinger> can somebody tell me how do i recompile my kernel ( i need some audio with low latency ) with kubuntu edgy 6.10 ??
[02:33] <bxnp> and ecetahmaz was that what you whre looking for
[02:34] <jeffto> bxnp, yes but alway that I restart the hour changes
[02:34] <SolidSource> oem: working now?
[02:35] <yamal> jeffto: see the UTC option in /etc/default/rcS
[02:35] <jeffto> I'm ther, I active UTC=yes or not?
[02:36] <yamal> jeffto: if you have windows on your pc as well as linux, it should be "no" (because time is kept in localtime)
[02:36] <ecetahmaz> solid source & bxnp: scribus <IP_ADDRESS> release is ok?
[02:37] <jeffto> actually I found that this option is no....
[02:37] <fuel>  how do i move read messages automatically to some other folder in kmail ?
[02:38] <jeffto> did I have to change some option on BIOS system?
[02:38] <SolidSource> ecetahmaz: <IP_ADDRESS> looks to be the latest
[02:39] <SolidSource> ecetahmaz: go here and add the repo and install that way
[02:39] <SolidSource> ecetahmaz: http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=4&page=1
[02:41] <faidillinger> anyone knows how i can associate firefox with ktorrent so that when i click on a torrent file it launches ktorrent ??

[02:49] <delphine> ok, do threats work here? ;)
[02:49] <delphine> ie. if I don't solve my problem, i am back to the dark side of the force...
[02:49] <delphine> hello all
[02:49] <delphine> I am at a loss as to what is wrong with my brand new install of kubuntu
[02:50] <delphine> usb does not work
[02:50] <delphine> and network works once out of twice
[02:51] <delphine> please save me :)
[02:53] <sergio> Hola
[02:56] <ccc> faidillinger: i don't use firefox, but it's probably somewhere in prefs > mime types -- something
[02:56] <faidillinger> ccc: tanks a lot, i already found out how to do this
[02:56] <faidillinger> google is our friend
[02:56] <ccc> excellent
[02:56] <delphine> I've been googling for three days
[02:57] <delphine> to no avail :(
[02:59] <ecetahmaz> solidsource cheers
[03:02] <alanhaggai> I need to run a script when the router gets an IP. How to do it?
[03:04] <jhutchins> delphine: more helpful to know what does happen than what doesn't.
[03:05] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: I think you might find what you need in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ipup or something like that.
[03:06] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Have a look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Diald-HOWTO.html for possible examples.
[03:06] <alanhaggai> jhutchins:  Let me try that :)
[03:06] <alanhaggai> But I am using broadband with a router. And so is it PPP?
[03:07] <alanhaggai> I have no idea regarding this.
[03:07] <BluesKaj> 'Morning All :)
[03:07] <alanhaggai> BluesKaj: Good morning :)
[03:07] <SolidSource> blueskaj: run run away!!
[03:07] <BluesKaj> what's the prob SS ? :)
[03:08] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: It may not be PPP, usually not with broadband unless it's DSL.
[03:08] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Mine is ADSL. Likewise, I have no /etc/sysconfig/
[03:09] <SolidSource> blueskaj: lol you'll see
[03:09] <BluesKaj> geez , gimme a break , on my first coffee here :)
[03:11] <genii> BluesKaj :)
[03:12] <BluesKaj> ho genii :)
[03:12] <BluesKaj> err hi genii
[03:12] <BluesKaj> :_)
[03:12] <genii> BluesKaj LOL thas alrite... I haven't left since I saw you here last... coffee is keeping me going right now too
[03:14] <simo__> hi!
[03:14] <simo__> i am using feisty, and have problems updating hotkey-setup
[03:14] <simo__> does anyone else have the same problem?
[03:15] <Jucato> simo__: try #ubuntu+1
[03:16] <simo__> i'm sorry jucato, didn't understand
[03:17] <simo__> ah, ok
[03:17] <Jucato> simo__: try asking in #ubuntu+1 it's the channel for feisty
[03:17] <simo__> slow today :)
[03:17] <Prollc> how can i setup firefox on kubuntu ?
[03:18] <bentob0x> when changing the UID and GID of a user, there is only two places where to do that yes?
[03:18] <bentob0x> I mean using vigr and vipw
[03:19] <ecetahmaz> i will download http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=4&page=1
[03:19] <BluesKaj> wow, genii ...a dedicated person you are :)
[03:19] <bentob0x> Prollc: have a look at your repositories
[03:19] <ecetahmaz> is tht right one?
[03:19] <genii> BluesKaj: Nah just up all night working and so why not have the computer on here as well
[03:20] <alanhaggai> I need to run a script when the router gets an IP. How to do it? I am on ADSL connection.
[03:21] <acemo> Prollc: open konsole, then type  "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[03:22] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Sorry, that's where the systems I run keep the network info.  Ubuntu appears to have abandoned that convention and I don't know where to tell you.  That diald howto probably won't work for you either, given that the normal, text-based network configuration doesn't seem to exist.  Maybe it's in the registry.
[03:23] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Sorry to ask more questions. But where can I access the Kubuntu registry?
[03:23] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Sorry, that's a joke.
[03:23] <alanhaggai> I see :))
[03:23] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: I'm hoping to prod someone who knows where the configuration is hidden.
[03:24] <BluesKaj> right on genii, ya work shifts eh ?
[03:24] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Thank you. Do PM or announce with my name here. I will search for it also.
[03:24] <genii> BluesKaj Well from home but yeah
[03:24] <mjunx> registry? look in /etc
[03:24] <BluesKaj> cool genii
[03:25] <mjunx> or if using gnome, gconf is the registry-wannabe lol
[03:25] <alanhaggai> I am using KDE.
[03:25] <jhutchins> mjunx: Where are the scripts that run when network interfaces come up?
[03:25] <BluesKaj> genii, yer in toronto right ?
[03:25] <mjunx> although, all kde settings are in ~/.kde/share/config/
[03:25] <mjunx> hrm
[03:25] <genii> BluesKaj Yup :)
[03:25] <mjunx> using the normal ifupdown stuff?
[03:25] <jhutchins> mjunx: Yeah, ifup, ifdown.
[03:26] <mjunx> in /etc/network/*.d/
[03:26] <alanhaggai> Let me try that.
[03:26] <mjunx> plus anything you defined in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:27] <alanhaggai> Ok.
[03:28] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Looks like you can link a script to the /etc/network/*.d directories and they'll be triggered.
[03:29] <alanhaggai> Be right back. Just going to reconnect and see if the script is executing or not.
[03:29] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Yes I think. I have put a script there. I will be back to tell you if it worked or not.
[03:29] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: You should put the script in /usr/etc and link it to the appropriate location.
[03:30] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Why is it so?
[03:31] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: Won't it be possible if I copy the script to /etc/network/if-up.d/   ?
[03:32] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Either one I guess, *.d files are only supposed to contain links, but ubuntu seems to ignore that too.
[03:32] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Just a matter of keeping things properly organized.
[03:32] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: I see. I am new to Linux. So no idea of the conventions used.
[03:32] <Zapt> hi there, i am looking for somebody who can register me a gmail account since i am from germany
[03:33] <alanhaggai> Zapt: Not a channel for that. Anyway, PM me if you want one.
[03:33] <Dr_willis> gmail is blocked in germany?
[03:33] <alanhaggai> Is it?
[03:33] <Dr_willis> how do they know you are in germany. :) use that TOR thing to get around that if they are doing it that way
[03:33] <Zapt> yes
[03:33] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: I read somewhere that there is a trademark issue with Gmail.
[03:33] <Zapt> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Gmail
[03:33] <jhutchins> For instance, /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate should actually be in /etc/init.d, and symlinked to /etc/network/if-up.d/
[03:34] <Zapt> hmm have to register for private talk.. :(
[03:34] <Dr_willis> yet more Patent Trolling. :) heh.
[03:34] <mjunx> I thought the trademark issue was only in the UK
[03:34] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: There is a company named Gmail in Europe. So they are using Googlemail.
[03:34] <Dr_willis> iMail  :)
[03:34] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: It seems that I have a lot to learn. :)
[03:34] <mjunx> they should've just given everyone an @google.com email like yahoo does lol
[03:34] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: So do I.
[03:35] <Dr_willis> i use Linuxmail.org :)
[03:35] <alanhaggai> jhutchins: By the way, I am the chairman of the FLOSS cell at college. So need to study more of this interesting OS.
[03:35] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: Great!
[03:36] <jhutchins> alanhaggai: I would make it a future goal to also study one of the RPM based distros as well.  They do some more SysV Unix compliant things.
[03:36] <alanhaggai> I see.
[03:36] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Thanks for noting Linuxmail. I am registering one.
[03:36] <alanhaggai> :)
[03:36] <BluesKaj>  does VLC use xine?
[03:37] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  its not a 'big' company. :) so a lot of the sites that dont allow gmail or hotmail, for their email registerations - let linuxmail through
[03:37] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj,  NO.
[03:38] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: I see. But it's nice to show that you are a Linux supporter. I need it. :)
[03:38] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  yea. the site is useable.. i set the wife and so forth up on it..
[03:39] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Wife? I didn't get that.
[03:40] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  the wife and kids are all ysing linuxmail instead of hotmail now
[03:40] <mjunx> BluesKaj, VLC, xine, and MPlayer all have common underlying libraries (ffmpeg's libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libpostproc, and others)
[03:40] <smile> BluesKaj: i think VNC use his own libs .. xine is used by amarok Mplayer, kaffeine
[03:41] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Very nice. Hope they have POP support.
[03:41] <mjunx> and FFmpeg is developed by MPlayer
[03:41] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  never noticed.  check out        http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com also - to freak people out
[03:41] <Dr_willis> gotta love LONG email addresses
[03:41] <smile> BluesKaj: try to uninstall libxine and u will see the depencenscies !!
[03:41] <Dr_willis> bah - site seems down
[03:41] <mjunx> or just run ldd on the executable ;)
[03:42] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis:  That is a link! ;)
[03:42] <ant1matter> im running beryl on kubuntu 64bit - runs great. anyone know the kde screenshot command? its using gnome's
[03:43] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  yea - it seems tobe down at the moment however.
[03:43] <mjunx> ksnapshot is the program
[03:43] <Aragami> hello guys. i just installed kubuntu on my laptop but somehow internet doesnt work (its connected to the router)
[03:43] <smile> ant1matter: wich kubuntu do u use ?
[03:43] <ant1matter> mjunx: thanks
[03:43] <ant1matter> smile: edgy
[03:43] <BluesKaj> not a real fan of the VLC plugin for FF , it blocks the mplayer from running windows media on a lotta sites . I dumped the VLC plugin
[03:43] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Yes. Down now.
[03:44] <Zapt> Aragami: How do you connect?
[03:44] <Aragami> i think eth0 is inactive, but i dunno where i could change that
[03:44] <Zapt> wireless or ethernet?
[03:44] <smile> ant1matter: wich video card u have ?
[03:44] <Zapt> Aragami: go to the console and type: sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[03:45] <Zapt> Aragami: is the driver installed?
[03:45] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  and for somthing competly differnt ------>  http://chumby.com

[03:46] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Cool :)
[03:46] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  neat gizmo. but not for sale yet. :(
[03:46] <Knightlust> Aragami: could you try issuing this command: sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
[03:46] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: I see. Got to get one ;)
[03:46] <ant1matter> smile: onboard nvidia - nforce 6100 256mb
[03:47] <Knightlust> eth0 may be disabled because you haven't started your network
[03:47] <Aragami> Zapt: "sudo..." got no error msg so i guess that worked
[03:47] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  yep. the latest Popular Science had a little artical on them... reminded me of them.. i was all set to order one.
[03:47] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  to set by the wifes bed. :)
[03:47] <Zapt> just type ifconfig
[03:47] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis: Nice of you. :)
[03:47] <Aragami> the sysconfig tool lists my laptops wlan and ethernet chip, but both are inactive
[03:47] <Dr_willis> then i can Page her and wake her **!&!! up in the morning!
[03:48] <Zapt> Aragami: Strange, then activate them!
[03:48] <Aragami> where
[03:49] <Aragami> or how
[03:49] <Knightlust> Aragami: try enabling here: K > System Settings > Network Settings
[03:49] <Knightlust> then just click on the Administrator Mode button then enter your login password
[03:49] <Knightlust> then click eth0 then click on Enable Interface
[03:49] <Knightlust> good luck
[03:49] <Aragami> eth0 is active now, but still no internet
[03:50] <KomiaPoika> hi, cups says my printer is not ready, and when i try to start it, it asks for login and password. i put in login and password from root, but it refuses it. whats wrong?
[03:51] <Knightlust> Aragami: restart your network by sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:51] <Aragami> i cannot access the values under "System Settings > Network Settings" btw. - seems weird
[03:51] <ecetahmaz> : http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/mrdocs/ is for suse....... i am using kubuntu... and i dont know whick link i need to download. has got a lot
[03:51] <Knightlust> yeah, you have to click on the Adminstrator mode button
[03:52] <Aragami> hmm...
[03:52] <Aragami> dont see it
[03:52] <Knightlust> scroll down
[03:52] <Knightlust> it's at the bottom right corner of the window
[03:52] <Aragami> ohh
[03:52] <Aragami> crap
[03:52] <Aragami> why can't it resize properly
[03:52] <Aragami> :/
[03:52] <Aragami> k, thx man
[03:52] <Knightlust> yeah, happens to me too
[03:53] <Knightlust> give us updates ayt...
[03:53] <ecetahmaz> http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/ is that right link. because it is writing for suse ..... not for kubuntu
[03:54] <Dr_willis> Aragami,  ive noticed that issue also - depending on hwo the program gets launched.
[03:56] <Aragami> hm
[03:56] <Aragami> eth0 is now active and has an ip via dhcp, but still, no internet
[03:57] <Knightlust> Aragami: could you try surfing to the GUI of your router
[03:57] <Knightlust> if you can surf through the router GUI, then the problem is with the router
[03:58] <Aragami> yes, no prob connecting to the router
[03:58] <Knightlust> as long as you can open the home page
[03:58] <Knightlust> hmmm
[03:58] <Knightlust> then it should be the router
[03:58] <Knightlust> wait, could you try surfing via IP address?
[03:58] <Aragami> don't think so
[03:58] <genii> interesting, in offtopic, this jus popped up a minute ago but sees like not here or #ubuntu   <ubotu>	New on planetubuntu: Mark Van den Borre: Dell asks us which distro to support <http://blog.markvdb.be/2007/03/dell-asks-us-which-distro-to-support.html>
[03:58] <Knightlust> it might be the DNS server listed on your laptop
[03:59] <Knightlust> also try pingin out
[03:59] <Knightlust> *pinging
[03:59] <genii> ^For those interested in convincing Dell to go Ubuntu ^
[04:00] <mjunx> make them interested in kubuntu
[04:00] <genii> mjunx :)
[04:01] <mjunx> I've got a good reason also, hold on
[04:01] <ecetahmaz> i`m lost, if the conversation about acrobat writer please s.body let me know........... :)
[04:02] <mjunx> http://robitaille.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/whats-your-linux-whine/
[04:02] <mjunx> most of the problems people whined about were exclusive to gnome
[04:02] <mjunx> so, I think it's safe to say that gnome just ain't ready for the desktop ;p
[04:02] <mjunx> but kde is
[04:03] <Knightlust> mjunx: flame bait
[04:03] <Knightlust> hehe
[04:03] <mjunx> eh?
[04:03] <genii> mjunx: I took the survey But they don't differentiate there between Ubuntu/Kubuntu.
[04:03] <mjunx> oh, hmm
[04:03] <genii> (on the Dell site)
[04:04] <mjunx> make a new suggestion then
[04:04] <mjunx> "Preinstall Kubuntu Linux on Dell Computers"
[04:06] <smile> hello all the world ... i have bewan adsl modem .. i cant run it on Edgy ... any help or HOWTO plz ????????????????????????????
[04:06] <BluesKaj> anyone using FF<IP_ADDRESS> ?
[04:07] <genii> mjunx: Take the survey yourself and do it
[04:07] <mjunx> meh
[04:08] <genii> "Evil prospers when good men do nothing"
[04:08] <mjunx> I wouldn't buy from dell anyways
[04:09] <Knightlust> mjunx: me too. price is pretty steep
[04:09] <mjunx> and quality is low
[04:09] <Knightlust> but my former company buys from them.. they trust dell with their life
[04:09] <mjunx> they're almost like the walmart of computers
[04:09] <Knightlust> tell me about it
[04:09] <mjunx> except they do offer higher quality machines, they're overpriced
[04:10] <Knightlust> they've overlooked quality on consumer desktops
[04:11] <mjunx> and that word, "consumer", is offensive
[04:11] <bentob0x> when using an NFS network share, how to mount it and use a specific user to work on it?
[04:11] <mjunx> it's a marketdroid word invented to replace more sufficient words like "customer", or "potential customer", or "user", or "client", or other words that don't melt everyone into some faceless sheep of sorts
[04:12] <BluesKaj> I'll ask once more ...anyone running Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> and having problems ?
[04:12] <Knightlust> hehehe
[04:12] <mjunx> no problems heres, blue
[04:12] <bentob0x> everything's fine BluesKaj
[04:12] <Knightlust> BluesKaj: none here
[04:12] <mjunx> er, BluesKaj
[04:12] <Knightlust> even extensions
[04:12] <BluesKaj> ok , just downloaded and about to install so i thought I'd ask first
[04:13] <bentob0x> yep all fine here on <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:13] <bentob0x> oh wait
[04:13] <bentob0x> ..
[04:13] <BluesKaj> thx gents :)
[04:13] <bentob0x> (only joking)
[04:13] <bentob0x> np
[04:13] <BluesKaj> :)
[04:13] <Knightlust> bentob0x: you're scaring him
[04:13] <Knightlust> hehehe
[04:13] <bentob0x> :D
[04:13] <bentob0x> anybody good on NFS here?
[04:13] <bentob0x> papa smurf seems away
[04:14] <bentob0x> smurphy_: can I annoy you a bit more about NFS?
[04:16] <easytiger> how come konsole in beryl (and only konsole) will not resize, and when you do it bounces back to screen height?
[04:17] <JuJuBee> Need some help with a new install.  I bought components to build a new computer.  (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13, 2GB PC4200, 160GB HD, GeForece 6200 video).  Tried to install Ubuntu and it will not. The computer will boot with thelive CD, but when I try to install it fails figt after it loads the kernel.  Others on #ubuntu & here agree that it looks like after the kernel loads, it forgets how to read the CD drive.  I tried to remove the HD and install to
[04:17] <JuJuBee> n, but it could not find a boot device on boot (even thought it booted the other computer).  I just installed windows on teh new computer to see if all hardware is working and it is working fine.  Please help if you can...
[04:17] <easytiger> JuJuBee: have you tried knoppix/ windows boot cds?
[04:18] <easytiger> ahh sorry i just read that
[04:18] <JuJuBee> Not knoppix (dont have it)
[04:18] <Knightlust> JuJuBee: could you try using an Alternate CD.
[04:19] <Knightlust> at least it wont eat up a lot of resources while installing ubuntu
[04:19] <JuJuBee> Tried feisty 3/12/07, but that did not work either.
[04:19] <JuJuBee> Similar problem.
[04:19] <JuJuBee> Seems to not find the CD after the kernel loads.
[04:19] <JuJuBee> MoBo is INTEL DG965wh
[04:20] <san_> holas a todos
[04:21] <Knightlust> JuJuBee: have could you also try disabling some hardware you think might interfere
[04:21] <Knightlust> like parallel and serial: we dont need that
[04:22] <mjunx> hey, does knetworkmanager support wpa and wpa2?
[04:22] <JuJuBee> Haven't tried that.
[04:22] <jay> I have kiba-dock, 1-01... when I click on any launcher, kiba-dock refuses to hide
[04:22] <JuJuBee> Did disable floppy though, dont have one of those.
[04:22] <JuJuBee> I guess I will go try again...
[04:22] <Knightlust> hmmm... <think Knightlust! think!
[04:26] <Knightlust> JuJuBee: sorry, but right now, that's the only thing I can think off. disabling some features you dont need
[04:26] <kristjan_> what is the correct name of that thing I get then I press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
[04:27] <Jucato> tty1
[04:27] <Knightlust> also if you have two 1GB PC4200, try to install just one
[04:27] <kristjan_> Jucato: full name is?
[04:27] <bumzo> hi guys ...is there like an updated version of openoffice for kubuntu
[04:27] <Knightlust> if your mobo supports integrated video, also try using that, at least for troubleshooting purposes
[04:27] <Jucato> TeleTYpe? it's also called the (true/real) terminal or console
[04:27] <bumzo> this one loks like office 97 lol
[04:28] <Knightlust> JuJuBee: again, sorry, but that's all I could think off right now
[04:28] <JuJuBee> Kightlust: Ram is dual channel, dont I need 2?  Also, disabled floppy, serial, parallel and booted 6.10 nosplash  Got errors.
[04:29] <Knightlust> aaarrrggghhhh! why oh why! hmmm, let me think.
[04:30] <Knightlust> what's the error?
[04:30] <JuJuBee> [17179571.04000]  ACPI:getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3 and 0x4.  Also diabled ata2-ata4 (only 1 sata drive) then messages about unable to open '/root/var/log' no such file or dir ... Target Filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init... BusyBox v1.1.3 stuff and then a prompt ...(initramfs)
[04:31] <JuJuBee> Looks like as soon as the kernel loads, it forgets about the dvd drive
[04:31] <Knightlust> aha! could you try disabling ACPI (or something like that) in the bios
[04:31] <JuJuBee> I cannot find a setting to disable it altogether.
[04:32] <Knightlust> looks like edgy's acpi is inompatible with your mobos acpi
[04:32] <JuJuBee> Only settings for stuff like wake on lan, what to do when power outage...
[04:32] <Knightlust> ok, lets see
[04:33] <JuJuBee> I tried to add acpi=off to boot param, but no luck.
[04:33] <Ashex|Work> well, I've effectively made my computer hacker proof
[04:33] <Knightlust> could you try damn small, its good at this kind of stuff. its only 50M
[04:33] <Knightlust> if you have the ime
[04:33] <Ashex|Work> nobody can run as root now!
[04:33] <Knightlust> *time
[04:33] <Ashex|Work> not even me!
[04:34] <Knightlust> while I try to think about it
[04:34] <Jucato> Ashex|Work: what happened?
[04:34] <JuJuBee> guess can download it
[04:34] <Ashex|Work> Jucato, I was playing with smb4k last night, and it decided to change my sudoers file
[04:34] <Jucato> ouch...
[04:34] <Ashex|Work> I get a syntax error when trying to use sudo
[04:34] <Knightlust> hee hee, Ashex|Work might've deleted your user login in sudoers
[04:35] <Knightlust> try fixing that using a live cd
[04:35] <Jucato> are  you still part of the "admin" group?
[04:35] <Ashex|Work> Yeah, that's the plan
[04:35] <Ashex|Work> I should be
[04:35] <Knightlust> just try adding your name on the sudoers file
[04:35] <acemo> when i click on the icon for the bluetooth headset, it asks me if i want to save or open with..
[04:35] <acemo> this tutorial says "A popup should request the PIN for the Headset from you (mostly "0000" or "1234")."
[04:35] <acemo> what could be wrong?
[04:35] <Ashex|Work> I was also thinking that just rebooting into recovery mode would work
[04:36] <Jucato> Ashex|Work: try it. check if you're not in the admin group. if you aren't, boot into recovery and add your user back
[04:37] <Ashex|Work> Jucato, I'll give that a shot
[04:38] <Ashex|Work> I was planning on waiting for Fiesty to reinstall, I don't really want to do it early :/
[04:39] <Ashex|Work> Jucato, what's the command to check from command-line?
[04:39] <Jucato> Ashex|Work: groups
[04:39] <Ashex|Work> yeah, I'm in the admin group
[04:39] <Jucato> hm... Knightlust your turn :)
[04:40] <jay> ed, once I typed it in myself cairo compiles successfully
[04:40] <kristjan_> what's the vga= for 1280x800 framebuffer, or does usplash only support standard 4:3 aspect ratio?
[04:40] <jay> there was a problem with the characters on the page that I copied from...
[04:41] <Ashex|Work> I'm pretty sure the sudoers file is just fubard
[04:41] <jay> once I typed it in myself cairo compiles successfully
[04:41] <bigdad1e> i need help.. how do i change the codecs of a video and audio so i can play it on kubuntu?
[04:41] <K-Ryan> You don't change them, you get the codecs.
[04:41] <Ashex|Work> !codecs

[04:41] <K-Ryan> Thanks Ashex ;)
[04:42] <Ashex|Work> heh, no problem
[04:42] <Ashex|Work> I'm usually in here helping people, so I've got that bot figured out :p
[04:42] <K-Ryan> Yeah I help out too, just not lately.
[04:42] <bigdad1e> thanks
[04:42] <K-Ryan> Been on Windows gaming...
[04:42] <K-Ryan> I should really just get Wine
[04:43] <Ashex|Work> haha
[04:43] <Ashex|Work> I just hope nobody notices that I support unix users better then the people I work with :P
[04:43] <K-Ryan> Hah
[04:44] <K-Ryan> Well I don't know what kind of people you work with, but from what I've seen on here it's a friendly environment.
[04:44] <acemo> lol ashex
[04:44] <Knightlust> JuJuBee: accdg to the great wizard, I gave you a wrong information.. ACPI isn't interfering with the install or bootup process
[04:45] <jay> ok.... cairo dock works now I guess..... only ONE of the icons show though
[04:45] <JuJuBee> OK.
[04:45] <Ashex|Work> heh, I'm the helpdesk guy who does the basic support. Lately the tickets I get are just depressing
[04:45] <Knightlust> it seems that you have a pretty nice expensive hardware in your hands, and that I don't think the we have drivers for it
[04:45] <K-Ryan> Basic support for what?
[04:45] <acemo> internal helpdesk?
[04:45] <K-Ryan> Just curious
[04:45] <Knightlust> i just hope that kernel 2.6.20 has the drivers for that
[04:45] <Ashex|Work> Pretty much everything
[04:45] <JuJuBee> That will bite really hard...
[04:45] <Ashex|Work> I'm the internal helpdesk guy
[04:46] <K-Ryan> For what kind of company is what I meant =P
[04:46] <Ashex|Work> ah
[04:46] <Ashex|Work> Software dev company
[04:46] <Knightlust> now, if damnsmall also spits out errors, then you have to wait for a hack.
[04:46] <K-Ryan> Neat
[04:46] <JuJuBee> I treid to isntall feisty-alternate and it failed as well.  I think it uses 2.6.20?
[04:46] <acemo> internal helpdesk is alot better as the customers helpdesk =p
[04:46] <Ashex|Work> heh, yeah
[04:46] <Knightlust> yeah, it does use 2.6.20
[04:47] <Ashex|Work> Tech Support is near me, so I occasionally hear things from their end
[04:47] <JuJuBee> So now what can I do?
[04:47] <easytiger> whats the command line name for the kde screenshot utility?
[04:47] <Ashex|Work> ksnaphshot
[04:47] <Knightlust> damnsmall would be our judge... for now
[04:47] <Ashex|Work> er
[04:47] <Ashex|Work> ksnapshot
[04:47] <easytiger> Ashex|Work: sweet. thanks
[04:47] <JuJuBee> K, downloading as we speak.
[04:48] <Ashex|Work> easytiger, no problem :)
[04:48] <easytiger> i was too lazy to work it out
[04:48] <Knightlust> i'll do a few research on this if damnsmall doesnt work.. i'll just post it on the wiki site
[04:48] <acemo> best thing i learned today: understanding how :(){ :|:& };: exactly works :)
[04:48] <K-Ryan> I love my Kubuntu setup, but I find myself getting bored...
[04:48] <JuJuBee> I appreciate the assistance.
[04:49] <K-Ryan> Anyone have tips?
[04:49] <Knightlust> im currently downloading DG965wh's manuals
[04:49] <foxx> Having a problem with booting the Kubuntu LiveCD.  I remember having this issue before but cannot remember exactly what I had to do to fix it.
[04:49] <Ashex|Work> K-Ryan, superkaramba and beryl?
[04:49] <Knightlust> sorry, but at least you have a pretty fast and shiny hardware
[04:49] <Knightlust> lets just wait for damnsmall
[04:49] <K-Ryan> Don't know what superkaramba does but beryl lags my system.
[04:49] <foxx> the LiveCD boots to the menu and will start up Xorg, but as soon as the cursor's on the screen it just stops
[04:49] <K-Ryan> My processor is outdated, 1.8Ghz
[04:50] <foxx> It also does not alow keyboard input so I can't switch to a terminal
[04:50] <JuJuBee> Yea, all rev'd up with no place to go... ;-)
[04:50] <Ashex|Work> ah
[04:50] <acemo> K-Ryan, thanks.. mine is 1.66ghz :(
[04:50] <Ashex|Work> Superkaramba is basically desktop widgets
[04:50] <foxx> I seem to remember there were a few boot options I had to put on to get it to get to the login screen but I don't remember what it was
[04:50] <K-Ryan> acemo well I never said it was bad, just outdated.
[04:51] <K-Ryan> I mean hearing about dual processors and stuff, kicking out a total of over 4Ghz
[04:51] <acemo> mm
[04:51] <K-Ryan> Kind of puts things into perspective.
[04:51] <acemo> with dual core, u dont add up the ghz of both core
[04:51] <acemo> cuz most programs dont handle dual core that well
[04:52] <K-Ryan> Okay but not all of them use just one proccessor.
[04:52] <bomberos> he algun en espaol
[04:52] <K-Ryan> So both are used, no?
[04:52] <K-Ryan> !espanol
[04:52] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:52] <foxx> So, no ideas?
[04:53] <acemo> some programs can use both cores yes, but i dont know any program that can spread out the processes perfectly yet
[04:53] <K-Ryan> No, like each program is dedicated to one core.
[04:53] <K-Ryan> So each core get's its own share of work.
[04:53] <K-Ryan> dedicated was a bad word, assigned works better
[04:53] <Ashex|Work> pretty much
[04:53] <K-Ryan> So why wouldn't you add the Ghz?
[04:53] <Ashex|Work> even if a program isn't designed to use both cores. When you launch a program, it will use one or the other
[04:53] <foxx> Because you aren't combining processing power on one problem
[04:54] <foxx> It's still moving at the same speed
[04:54] <foxx> Ghz != power
[04:54] <Ashex|Work> as opposed to a single-core when all programs will use up a portion of available processing power
[04:54] <foxx> Only the speed of the clock.  You just have two of them, they are not added.
[04:54] <bomberos> he eh algien me puede ayudar
[04:55] <foxx> The best use of multiple-core systems is for multi-threaded applications
[04:55] <K-Ryan> !espanol | bomberos

[04:55] <JuJuBee> Knightlust : ok, tried to bood dsl 3.2.  Failed...Can't find knoppix filessystem.  dropping you to very limited shell, press reset to quit.
[04:55] <acemo> there are things that can work out good on dual core, but other thing (a program that requires ALOT of the cpu but is not multi-threaded) a fast single core is better for
[04:55] <K-Ryan> So let me get this straight. If I had two 1.8Ghz processors, there would be no difference?
[04:55] <Knightlust> JuJuBee, again, I'm sorry you have to go through all this.. but you have the most modern hardware i've ever come across
[04:56] <foxx> A perfect example of multiple-core processing is the Xbox 360.  Three PowerPC cores, all of them pumping out a few Ghz, but the way you use it is in spreading out multiple threads for a single program across them
[04:56] <Knightlust> just wait for a hack, if damnsmall wont boot, then no other distros would boot
[04:56] <foxx> K-Ryan: Depends
[04:56] <JuJuBee> So, can you suggest a different mobo?  I can probably get it swapped out.
[04:56] <K-Ryan> Yeah I didn't really clarify there...
[04:56] <acemo> K-Ryan, if you had 2 processors on 1 mainboard, it works slower as a dual core cpu
[04:56] <foxx> K-Ryan: Most often you will not.  Instead you will see a much more balanced performance,
[04:56] <Knightlust> sorry, im not really good at hardware
[04:56] <JuJuBee> I just want it to work.
[04:57] <Knightlust> anyone here who can help out JuJuBee?
[04:57] <Knightlust> dual-core supported mobo that has been tested out with ubuntu
[04:57] <foxx> K-Ryan: The ONLY way to see a performance increase is if the program you are trying to run supports SMP or multi-threading
[04:57] <K-Ryan> So if I were to get a new processor for gaming, would you reccomend a dual core, or just a high Ghz single?
[04:57] <foxx> K-Ryan: At the moment a multiple-core is a good thing due to low (relative) cost.
[04:58] <bigdad1e> can i get vlc on kubuntu?
[04:58] <Knightlust> better research on that JuJuBee
[04:58] <K-Ryan> But if the program doesn't support two at a time, it defeats the purpose of having two, no?
[04:58] <foxx> K-Ryan: The Core2Duo does a great job with Single pass instructions, the AMD64 X2 line still does better performance overall
[04:58] <Jucato> bigdad1e: yes
[04:58] <Ashex|Work> bigdadle, sudo apt-get install vlc
[04:58] <foxx> K-Ryan: Again, that depends.
[04:58] <JuJuBee> K
[04:58] <Jucato> !info vlc | bigdad1e
[04:58] <JuJuBee> Thanks gagin.
[04:58] <ubotu> bigdad1e: vlc: multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1.1 (edgy), package size 1120 kB, installed size 3240 kB
[04:58] <foxx> K-Ryan: Like I said, you'll see more BALANCED performance otherwise.
[04:59] <Knightlust> np, wish you luck JujuBee.
[04:59] <acemo> K-Ryan, if you would get a new cpu for gaming, atm still single core is better for most games, but alot of games are switching over to use dual core
[04:59] <bigdad1e> how do i get it? its not showing up on my add programs
[04:59] <foxx> K-Ryan: If your OS isn't chewing up one core then the game will chew it up
[04:59] <Ashex|Work> personally, if you want to see a performance boost
[04:59] <Ashex|Work> mount /home to a seperate disk
[04:59] <Jucato> guys, could you take the processor discussion to #kubuntu-offtopic please?
[04:59] <foxx> K-Ryan: Not to mention that most popular titles in teh future will be supporting SMP
[04:59] <smurphy_> yep- Best CPU so far right now is E6600 from intel. best Price/Power ration ...
[04:59] <K-Ryan> Sorry Jucato
[04:59] <Jucato> bigdad1e: you have to enable the multiverse repository
[04:59] <K-Ryan> My questions have been answered anyways, thanks.
[04:59] <bigdad1e> how?
[04:59] <Jucato> !universe | bigdad1e
[04:59] <ubotu> bigdad1e: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[04:59] <foxx> I'm supposing nobody had any ideas about grub boot options for me?
[04:59] <bigdad1e> im sry im new
[05:00] <Jucato> no problem, that's why we're here
[05:00] <Jucato> :)
[05:00] <foxx> It'd be really nice to be able to boot Kubuntu's LiveCD again
[05:01] <acemo> anyone here has experience with bluetooth headsets?
[05:01] <eilker> !cairo-dock
[05:01] <ubotu> gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[05:01] <eilker> can we use dock in kde ?
[05:01] <eilker> can we use *cairo-dock in kde ?
[05:01] <Ashex|Work> you could, but it wouldn't look to pretty in kde
[05:02] <Jucato> eilker: probably, although I'm not sure how much it will work.
[05:02] <Jucato> !kxdocker
[05:02] <foxx> Since it was up higher, my Kubuntu 6.10 LiveCD refuses to go to the login screen and stops cold at the X server.
[05:02] <allee> hi, anyone used cupssmbadd successfully?  I always get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/pe-ttt.ppd.   samba log tells me that I'm connct as root and  [print$]  has 'write list = root'
[05:02] <Ashex|Work> That is a gnome app, so it uses gnome resources
[05:02] <ubotu> kxdocker: innovative docker for KDE that is like Mac OSX Docker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.4a-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 327 kB, installed size 1064 kB
[05:02] <Jucato> eilker: ^^^
[05:02] <eilker> jucato: thanx, is kxdocker like kiba-dock  ?
[05:02] <Jucato> eilker: in some ways. but not entirely
[05:03] <Jucato> !ksmoothdock
[05:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ksmoothdock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:03] <Jucato> bah...
[05:03] <foxx> Could anyone at least point me to a list of LiveCD boot options so I can get into the system?
[05:03] <Ashex|Work> foxx, what are you trying to do?
[05:03] <eilker> jucato: thanx, let me try  kxdocker
[05:03] <foxx> Ashex
[05:04] <foxx> Ahsex|Work Just trying to boot the LiveCD
[05:04] <acemo> foxx, i think when booting, u can press f1-f5 to see the options *not sure.. works on gentoo*
[05:04] <maki_> where can i report bugs in 7.04
[05:04] <foxx> Doh, damn typos
[05:04] <foxx> acemo: It would, but it's not responding to the keyboard
[05:04] <Ashex|Work> foxx, if you're using the edgy live cd, it should present the boot menu before loading
[05:04] <foxx> Ashex|Work: It gets to the X server, the mouse and background come up, and it stops cold
[05:04] <Ashex|Work> ah
[05:05] <Ashex|Work> ctrl+alt+f1
[05:05] <foxx> Ashex|Work: I've had this problem before but I can't remember the grub option I was told to enable/disable to get past it
[05:05] <Ashex|Work> That's usually the output for the boot process
[05:05] <foxx> Ashex|Work: Doesn't work.
[05:05] <Ashex|Work> ah, i see
[05:05] <foxx> Ashex|Work: It fails to respond to keyboard input.  I can move the mouse, though
[05:05] <foxx> Ashex|Work: I've tried vga=vesa but the graphics seem to work fine.  I've tried acpi=disable but to no effect.
[05:06] <foxx> Ashex|Work: I've also been trying to search for the past hour about LiveCD issues with Ubuntu/Kubuntu to no avail of any kind
[05:06] <Ashex|Work> Yeah, I know the issue you're having, I'm just trying to remember the option :/
[05:06] <foxx> Ashex|Work: Is there a list of boot options for grub that the LiveCD will recognize?  I'm kind of troubled that such a list isn't easier to find
[05:07] <Ashex|Work> *sigh* of all days to night have a live disc with me
[05:07] <Ashex|Work> I've got 20 dapper discs, but none are edgy :/
[05:07] <foxx> Ashex|Work: I seem to remember having the same problem with Dapper as well as Ubuntu discs
[05:07] <Ashex|Work> ah
[05:08] <Ashex|Work> lemme try a dapper disk
[05:08] <foxx> Ashex|Work: Never had this problem with Gentoo but for obvious reasons
[05:08] <Ashex|Work> I just happen to have vmware workstation on here
[05:08] <foxx> Ashex|Work: Awww, lucky.  =)
[05:08] <foxx> Ashex|Work: I had to build my cluster the old fashioned way; pissing off my wife with a big ol' store of systems
[05:08] <eilker> sudo apt-get reinstall kxdocker
[05:08] <eilker> is it wrong ?
[05:09] <foxx> eilker: Should just say "sudo apt-get install kxdocker" I would imagine
[05:09] <Jucato> eilker: sudo apt-get install
[05:09] <eilker> but i installed it already
[05:09] <Jucato> eilker: why are you reinstalling then?
[05:09] <K-Ryan> then sudo apt-get remove kxdocker
[05:10] <K-Ryan> then sudo apt-get install kxdocker
[05:10] <eilker> jucato : kxdocker: WARNING: Cannot find updated resources: you may need to update or reinstall KXDocker resources, checkout http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/prodotti/kxdoc
[05:10] <Jucato> er.. sudo apt-get install --reinstall kxdocker
[05:10] <Ashex|Work> foxx, gimme a second
[05:10] <K-Ryan> didnt know about that one =)
[05:11] <foxx> Ashex|Work: Sure thing
[05:11] <eilker> jucato: kxdocker works under beryl ?
[05:11] <Jucato> that I don't know
[05:12] <eilker> jucato: answer coming soon :)
[05:12] <Jucato> I won't be here to see your answer.but good luck anyway
[05:13] <eilker> jucato: thanx
[05:13] <Jucato> ok
[05:13] <Ashex|Work> bah, that's annoying
[05:13] <Ashex|Work> live disc refuses to boot
[05:13] <foxx> Huh, strange.
[05:13] <jhutchins> Ashex|Work: Where does it fail?
[05:14] <Ashex|Work> Well, vmware bios just doesn't boot off it
[05:15] <jhutchins> Well, VMWare.
[05:15] <luan> whats the command for downloading in the Terminal ?
[05:15] <Ashex|Work> hehe
[05:15] <Ashex|Work> luan, wget
[05:15] <jhutchins> luan: What do you want to download?
[05:15] <jhutchins> ftp
[05:15] <luan> I need to download aMSN
[05:15] <Jucato> luan: sudo apt-get install <package>
[05:15] <luan> and I think I need to reinstall Openoffice
[05:15] <fdoving> nite jucato.
[05:15] <Jucato> nite fdoving! :)
[05:16] <Ashex|Work> foxx, sorry, I can't get it to boot so I'm not much help atm
[05:16] <foxx> Ashex|Work: That's alright.  Don't suppose you know of any way to get it to go to a command line instead of the graphical login, would you?
[05:16] <jhutchins> luan: Check out koffice insetad of oo.
[05:16] <luan> ij
[05:16] <luan> ok
[05:16] <bonbonthejon> foxx: isn't there an option for console login
[05:16] <luan> and how do I get the list of files to download in apt-get ?
[05:17] <foxx> bonbonthejon: Not from what I'm seeing.
[05:17] <jhutchins> !bootoptions
[05:17] <ubotu> For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[05:17] <bonbonthejon> luan: "sudo aptitude update"
[05:17] <jhutchins> A little obtuse...
[05:17] <Knightlust> luan: you have to update your repository so you could download koffice
[05:17] <luan> how do you do that
[05:17] <luan> sorry, i've never used linux
[05:17] <luan> :S
[05:17] <jhutchins> luan: apt-get update updates the list of available packages.
[05:18] <Knightlust> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[05:18] <bonbonthejon> foxx: I just looked, its under menu in kdm
[05:18] <eilker> !docks
[05:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about docks - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:18] <Knightlust> but openoffice should suffice
[05:18] <eilker> !dock
[05:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:18] <foxx> bonbonthejon: That'd be helpful if KDM worked but we're not that far yet
[05:18] <foxx> bonbonthejon: We're talking about the LiveCD
[05:18] <Knightlust> been using oo ever since and I've never had problems with it
[05:18] <jhutchins> Knightlust: Me too, and now I can't open any of my documents, it just crashes and opens a blank.
[05:18] <foxx> jhutchins: THANK YOU for the boot options, me and Ashex|Work have been looking for those
[05:19] <bonbonthejon> foxx: try ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a console
[05:19] <foxx> bonbonthejon: As explained earlier it doesn't recognize keyboard input
[05:19] <jhutchins> bonbonthejon: There should be a boot option to go to console mode.
[05:19] <Jucato> Knightlust: take care of them for me :D
[05:19] <Knightlust> hehehe, ganun, hindi ko kaya ito
[05:19] <foxx> bonbonthejon: We remember the solution is in the boot options, just neither of us could remember which one it was
[05:19] <Ashex|Work> grr, damn vmware and it's like of global copy+paste
[05:19] <Jucato> Knightlust: English only please :D
[05:19] <bonbonthejon> foxx: never used the live cd, sorry
[05:19] <Jucato> heheh
[05:19] <jhutchins> bonbonthejon: It's one of the reasons RH derived systems have useful runlevels, you can specify "linux 3" at the bootprompt and get console-only.
[05:19] <Knightlust> jhutchins, i think there is an option for safe mode
[05:20] <Knightlust> well, kinda
[05:20] <jhutchins> Knightlust: Yeah, that's it, safe mode!
[05:20] <Knightlust> wait, checking on that
[05:20] <jhutchins> foxx: safe mode or rescue mode.
[05:21] <Jucato> Recovery Mode in GRUB
[05:21] <foxx> jhutchins: Doesn't help, tried both.  Both of those attempt safe "graphics" modes, there is no option for a console
[05:22] <foxx> jhutchins: I've been through this problem before, there was something that was pretty common that a lot of people had to turn off to get past the same point in the boot options, I just can't for the life of me find it or remember it
[05:22] <jhutchins> acpi or apic
[05:22] <foxx> jhutchins: Trying it now
[05:22] <Knightlust> jhutchins, there doesn't seem to be an option to start OO in safe-mode, i think you need to reinstall OO
[05:23] <bigdad1e> what can i get to play avi codec?
[05:23] <jack__> hi how can i mark minimized windows and choose in the context menu how to arrange them?
[05:23] <blue|palm> Does anybody know what causes your CTRL+ALT+F1-6 terminals to appear extremely messy? (graphically) Im using an ati X1900XTX with the prop fglrx drivers
[05:23] <foxx> bigdad1e: AVI is a "container," it doesn't actually have a codec.  Rather codecs are used in AVIs.
[05:23] <bonbonthejon> !avi
[05:23] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:23] <bigdad1e> how do i play it then?
[05:24] <bigdad1e> those didnt help me
[05:24] <jhutchins> Knightlust: Completely removed all traces except documents, reinstalled, still crashes.
[05:24] <Knightlust> aha! a service may be doing that
[05:24] <foxx> bigdad1e: You have to install the codec you require (DivX, XviD, whatever it needs), then simply fire up your favorite movie player
[05:25] <bigdad1e> where do i get the codec? sry i kno im a pain in the a--
[05:25] <Knightlust> its not OO then, its something else. K>System Settings>Advanced>System Services ..you may need to check on that
[05:25] <Knightlust> or the services running
[05:25] <foxx> bigdad1e: Some can be obtained through the package manager of your choice (I use Adept).
[05:25] <jack__> hi how can i mark minimized windows and choose in the context menu how to arrange them?
[05:25] <Knightlust> i cant tell you what services may be causing crashes in OO, but you may need to google it out
[05:26] <foxx> jhutchins: Alright, noacpi didn't fix it, going to try it with noacpi noapic
[05:26] <bigdad1e> can you give me the name of something that will work?
[05:26] <Knightlust> jack_: right-click?
[05:26] <Knightlust> heehee
[05:26] <foxx> bigdad1e: Well like I said, that depends on how teh AVI file was encoded.
[05:26] <Knightlust> arrange them? i dont think you can
[05:26] <jhutchins> !mpe | bigdad1e
[05:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mpe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:26] <jhutchins> !mp3 | bigdad1e
[05:26] <ubotu> bigdad1e: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:27] <bigdad1e> those sites dont tell me what i need to kno but thanks
[05:27] <jack__> Knightlust: i know you can, like tileetc, it was like mark and then right click, but doesnt seem to work anymore
[05:27] <Knightlust> yeah, been looking for that too.. but i havent seen that since dapper
[05:28] <Knightlust> sorry, i meant hoary
[05:28] <jack__> Knightlust: exactly, so how can i get that back?
[05:28] <bigdad1e> foxx, how do i find out what it really needs?
[05:28] <jhutchins> bigdad1e: Actually, they do.
[05:29] <Knightlust> jack_: you may want to check out System Settings>Window Behaviour and try to experiment on some settings
[05:29] <foxx> bigdad1e: Well, depends on what you've downloaded.  Such as if I download a movie and the author says it was encoded with DivX then it needs DivX
[05:29] <Knightlust> im pretty sure it's there
[05:29] <bigdad1e> ive read them things up and down and nothing i can use or understand
[05:29] <bigdad1e> xvid
[05:29] <bigdad1e> is what it needs
[05:32] <foxx> Alright, then go to your package manager of choice (in my case Adept) and search for xvid
[05:32] <foxx> You should come up with smoething called "libxvidcore4" or similar
[05:32] <BluesKaj> simple question , for some reason the partialpage to fullpage open in Firefox isn't working for me , anyone know the trick getting full page to open on launch to work ?
[05:32] <bigdad1e> foxx, i need something for xvid and mp3
[05:33] <foxx> bigdad1e: Worry about one at a time.  After you've got the libxvidcore look into downloading LAME, probably liblame
[05:33] <jhutchins> bigdad1e: Re-read the RestrictedFormats page, it's pretty explicit.
[05:33] <BluesKaj> !audio-codecs
[05:33] <jhutchins> It tells you specificly how to get w32codecs
[05:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audio-codecs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:33] <bigdad1e> will do thanks sry for the hassel
[05:34] <foxx> jhutchins: Damn, still no dice.  I kinda wish there was a comprehensive list of Grub boot options, I think that'd probably make this much easier
[05:35] <BluesKaj> foxx , have you considered "SuperGrub Live CD" , it claims to solve a whole host of bootloader problems
[05:38] <foxx> BluesKaj: I can honestly say I've never heard of such a thing
[05:39] <jhutchins> foxx: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO.html
[05:40] <foxx> Waaaaaaaaaait a minute...anyone know what the boot option is for single user mode?
[05:41] <jhutchins> foxx: linux single?
[05:42] <foxx> jhutchins: Trying it now
[05:42] <foxx> Ah HAH!
[05:43] <foxx> boot prompt is MINE!
[05:45] <foxx> Okay, confirmed it's definitely a problem with X.  Single user mode works just fine, as soon as you hit "startx" it hangs just like before
[05:45] <san_> Alguien habla espaol???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????''
[05:45] <bonbonthejon> !es | san_
[05:45] <ubotu> san_: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:45] <san_> ubotu gracias, bonbon hola
[05:46] <foxx> I must admit I hope this gets fixed in Fiesty.
[05:46] <blue|palm> http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[05:47] <blue|palm> Does anybody know what causes your CTRL+ALT+F1-6 terminals to appear extremely messy? (graphically) Im using an ati X1900XTX with the prop fglrx drivers
[05:47] <jhutchins> foxx: Which?
[05:48] <jhutchins> blue|palm: You can try eliminating framebuffer in the consoles, that may help.
[05:48] <jhutchins> blue|palm: does "reset" help?
[05:48] <foxx> jhutchins: The issue of X hanging from the LiveCd.  I remember last time I had this problem it seems there's actually quite a few people with the same problem, I just can't for the life of me find it on the support forums now
[05:48] <firephoto> JuJuBee: that board will work with feisty, only issue might be if you have a sata cdrom that you're installing off of.
[05:48] <blue|palm> jhutchins: how would i do that>
[05:48] <blue|palm> jhutchins: I cant see what im typing...
[05:48] <jhutchins> blue|palm: Wing it.
[05:48] <blue|palm> jhutchins: lol ok
[05:48] <D_Cent> hi
[05:48] <blue|palm> jhutchins: will reset do anything to my current X session?
[05:49] <jhutchins> foxx: I think that's addressed with the alternative CD, it does text-based setup.
[05:49] <jhutchins> blue|palm: No, it resets the current "terminal".
[05:49] <firephoto> JuJuBee: it'll work with edgy too but you need to install edgy on different hardware first and move the drive after it's updated.
[05:49] <D_Cent> my computer crashes if i stick on my usb-stick... who can help me?
[05:49] <bigdad1e> one last question how do i install programs from the terminal?
[05:49] <jhutchins> D_Cent: What release?
[05:49] <foxx> jhutchins: Interesting.
[05:50] <D_Cent> jhutchins: edgy
[05:50] <blue|palm> jhutchins: thanks
[05:50] <bonbonthejon> bigdad1e: sudo apt-get install PROG
[05:50] <jhutchins> bigdad1e: apt-get install <program>
[05:50] <foxx> D_Cent: Sounds like it doesn't like being touched in that way.  Give it a bottle of wine first.
[05:50] <jhutchins> dang, always forget that sudo.
[05:50] <foxx> jhutchins: Alright, fixed it.
[05:50] <bigdad1e> thank you
[05:50] <D_Cent> foxx: nothing with wine...
[05:50] <foxx> D_Cent: Sorry, it was a terrible joke
[05:50] <jhutchins> bigdad1e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[05:50] <blue|palm> jhutchins: reset made no diff, how would i change the framebuffer. turn it on/off? Where do i do this?
[05:51] <foxx> jhutchins: Apparently the problem was the Xserver was trying to set up the server with my graphics card driver set to "nv"
[05:51] <jhutchins> blue|palm: I think it needs to happen in grub...
[05:51] <blue|palm> jhutchins: Or do i have to go to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:51] <blue|palm> jhutchins: oh
[05:51] <foxx> jhutchins: From single user mode I edited the xorg.conf and changed the driver to "vesa" and it worked perfect.
[05:51] <foxx> jhutchins: REALLY odd though, I tried "vga=vesa" from grub and that didn't do squat.
[05:52] <D_Cent> i could not find a way to get that to work....
[05:52] <blue|palm> does anyone else here who uses ati have problems with the F1 - 6 terminals?
[05:53] <jhutchins> foxx: Right, boot is all about console, doesn't affect X at all, X is a seperate system.
[05:54] <jhutchins> blue|palm: I think you can try booting with the "VGA=normal" or "nofb" option.
[05:54] <foxx> jhutchins: I was positive there was a way to overide the X autoconfiguration though from GRUB on the LiveCD.
[05:54] <jhutchins> blue|palm: I have seen that, but not recently.  It's not surprizing with the newer video drivers that require kernel support.
[05:54] <jhutchins> foxx: Nope.
[05:55] <jhutchins> foxx: You can only affect the console video mode.
[05:55] <jhutchins> blue|palm: I don't believe there's any way to fix it once X is running.
[05:55] <foxx> jhutchins: Well nuts.  Well, lesson learned, at least it was easy to fix.
[05:56] <foxx> jhutchins: I think I'll make a thread about it in the support forum for Ubuntu in case anyone else experiences the same issue since I was unable to find anything on it after much scouring
[05:56] <jhutchins> foxx: Great idea.
[05:56] <blue|palm> jhutchins: thanks for the help
[05:56] <blue|palm> jhutchins: these drivers are pathetic, honestly
[05:56] <jhutchins> blue|palm: Sure, good luck.
[05:56] <jhutchins> blue|palm: Works in progress, as always.
[06:00] <Patrialt> im using kubuntu live cd 6.10, and i cant seem to locate files on my hard drive, can someone point me in the right direction?
[06:01] <firemonkeyballz> Patrialt what files?
[06:01] <Patrialt> well i cant seem to locate any of my 4 partitions on my HDD
[06:02] <firemonkeyballz> go here system:/media
[06:02] <Patrialt> im used to the Gnome setup, so KDE kinda caught me off guard
[06:02] <besonen_mobile> i've just installed 7.04 and noticed that when i browse a fat32 partition with many files konqueror gets busy doing something and my whole system lags?  when konqueror first accesses a partition does it auto-index and/or recurse the whole directory structure creating thumbnails?  if this isn't it what else could konqueror be doing?  whatever it's doing i would like to stop it.
[06:03] <firemonkeyballz> beson that version is totally alpha
[06:03] <besonen_mobile> i know
[06:03] <Patrialt> firemonkeyballz when i go to system:/media all it displays for me is a file that's labelled '.hidden'
[06:03] <firemonkeyballz> are  you running from the CD?
[06:04] <Patrialt> yup
[06:04] <besonen_mobile> it doesn't seem like a bug firemonkeyballz

[06:05] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, open up terminal and type df
[06:05] <Ashex|Work> that will show if they are mounted
[06:05] <Ashex|Work> otherwise, type sudo fdisk -l
[06:05] <firemonkeyballz> ashex I dont thnk they are mounted

[06:06] <matthias> can somebody help me
[06:06] <Ashex|Work> yeah, fdisk -l will show them
[06:06] <besonen_mobile> firemonkeyballz: ctrl c to close the konqueror window?  obviously i'm just not familiar with konqueror :-)
[06:06] <Ashex|Work> then he can type pmount /dev/hda#
[06:06] <matthias> euhm
[06:06] <matthias> how do i install new dictionnaries in openoffice
[06:06] <matthias> or wait

[06:07] <bigdad1e> how do i get the gdebi package if its not letting me click on it?
[06:07] <Ashex|Work> I just alt+f4 to close
[06:08] <foxx> jhutchins: There we go, as promised:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2292104#post2292104
[06:08] <Patrialt> ashex|work that is correct, didn't work cuz it's not removable
[06:08] <foxx> With that I'm going to leave.  Thank you all for your assistance, I'm glad we were able to get it running together.
[06:08] <Patrialt> any alternative?
[06:08] <besonen_mobile> firemonkeyballz:  i guess that's why we're all in the kubuntu channel - because we need help with kde.  the blind leading the blind :-)
[06:09] <firemonkeyballz> yes buh most people in here treat others like complete computer noobs
[06:10] <firemonkeyballz> I know a few
[06:10] <besonen_mobile> noobs?
[06:10] <Patrialt> we all need our hand held, and taken by baby steps sometimes :P
[06:10] <nosrednaekim> well one does have to assume that the user knows nothing
[06:10] <Patrialt> noobs means newbies
[06:10] <besonen_mobile> that's for sure.
[06:10] <besonen_mobile> we're always learning
[06:10] <slow-motion> hallo#
[06:10] <bigdad1e> can i ask how do i download a package if it wont let me click on it?   noobs=ppl like me
[06:10] <fdoving> Parkotron: or new users :)
[06:10] <besonen_mobile> and text is so frikk'in limiting
[06:10] <firemonkeyballz> yea fdoving
[06:10] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, are they ntfs partitions?
[06:11] <firemonkeyballz> umm that should explain a few things
[06:11] <firemonkeyballz> if so
[06:11] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: as in that they are on the website?
[06:11] <firemonkeyballz> nos they said they
[06:11] <bigdad1e> i dont get what u mean
[06:11] <firemonkeyballz> would have it fixed in edgy
[06:11] <besonen_mobile> i know noob mean newbie firemonkeyballz.  i was simply confirming what you were referring to noobs.  see what i mean about the joy's of text-based communication.
[06:11] <firemonkeyballz> opertive word may
[06:11] <Patrialt> ashex|work only one of them, there are 4 partitions, sda1-sda4 and they are in this order NTFS, ext3, ext3, swap
[06:12] <firemonkeyballz> lol
[06:12] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: where are you trying to click on the package?
[06:12] <Patrialt> im trying to mount the 2nd partition (sda2) it's my storage partition
[06:12] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, okay, ext3 shouldn't be a problem
[06:12] <firemonkeyballz> wheee have original ati drivers
[06:12] <bigdad1e> add+remove programs
[06:12] <firemonkeyballz> :D
[06:12] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, basically, all you are doing is creating a directory in /media/ and then mounting the partition to it
[06:13] <Ashex|Work> so, sudo mkdir /media/sda2 && sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
[06:13] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: its on the list in ad/remove, but you can't install it?
[06:13] <Patrialt> kk, i'll give it a shot
[06:13] <firemonkeyballz> well im out
[06:13] <bigdad1e> ya
[06:13] <firemonkeyballz> got to get to class
[06:14] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: they don't have a check mark by them?
[06:14] <Patrialt> lol, thanks that worked, i gotta remember these simple lifesavers :P
[06:14] <bigdad1e> they do but it wont let me click on it
[06:14] <Patrialt> i just didn't suspect that it didn't automount, my Ubuntu live cd had no trouble mounting my HDD partitions
[06:15] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, not a problem
[06:15] <Ashex|Work> with the live cd's occasionally it'll be a hit and miss
[06:15] <nosrednaekim> do you have the "show unsupported and show proprietary" clicked on the top of the window?
[06:15] <Ashex|Work> the ntfs partition will be tricky though
[06:15] <bigdad1e> no
[06:15] <Ashex|Work> since linux can't detect the permissions, it automatically makes it root access only
[06:16] <Ashex|Work> so, if you want to mount it, you'll need to set the uid for it
[06:16] <Patrialt> ahh, i see, well, i was testing kubuntu to see if i liked it enough to install as a 3rd OS on my HDD
[06:16] <Ashex|Work> check the man page for how to set that
[06:16] <Ashex|Work> ah
[06:16] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: "check" them and you chould be able to install those packages
[06:16] <Patrialt> have you by chance tried a triple boot system? windows xp, ubuntu, kubuntu
[06:16] <Ashex|Work> kubuntu is a nice os to play with :)
[06:16] <Patrialt> hoping that it wont give me any problems
[06:17] <Ashex|Work> Patrialt, I was doing that for awhile
[06:17] <bigdad1e> it still didnt work
[06:17] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: which program is it?
[06:17] <Ashex|Work> back when edgy was in beta
[06:17] <Patrialt> nice
[06:17] <Ashex|Work> I was triple-booting windows, dapper, and edgy
[06:17] <holger> hi everyone
[06:17] <bigdad1e> GDebi
[06:17] <Patrialt> so...if i install this to HD, will it replace the old grub boot manager with an updated one that supports 3 os's
[06:17] <holger> does anyone know how to disable the mouse acceleration in Kubuntu?
[06:18] <Dr_willis> wowsers.. that GreaseMonkey extension for firefox + Plataypus is saving me such a headache.. :)
[06:18] <holger> hmmm
[06:18] <Patrialt> i read somewhere that grub automatically detects non linux OS's, but it didn't say anything about auto detecting 2nd linux OSs
[06:18] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: I don't even have that listed as a package...
[06:18] <Dr_willis> holger,  its tehre in the controlcenter thingie somewhere Perphrials->mouse->oneof the tabs/sliders
[06:18] <holger> is anyone playing et?
[06:19] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  'grub' dosent auto detect. the ubuntu/kubuntu installers can scan and add the proper grub entrys for the other od's
[06:19] <bigdad1e> its under system gdebi package installer
[06:19] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  and yes - they did see my other linux installs on this machine.
[06:19] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  which suprised the heck out of me.
[06:19] <Patrialt> dr_willis awesome, thanks a bunch
[06:19] <Ashex|Work> Woohoo
[06:19] <Ashex|Work> And I'm going to get coffee
[06:19] <Ashex|Work> be back in a bit
[06:19] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: hmm.. ok..no clue
[06:19] <Dr_willis> now if i knew how they did it . so i could get them to add other os's after ive installed Ubuntu :)
[06:20] <Patrialt> Well
[06:20] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: can you instll other packages?
[06:20] <Patrialt> i was directed to the file recently dr_willis
[06:20] <Patrialt> let me see if i can find the file for you
[06:20] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  you mean the grub config file?
[06:20] <nosrednaekim> Dr_willis: wouldn't that be "update-grub"?
[06:20] <bigdad1e> nosrednaekim, ya im really trying to get to play my xvid videos but i cant seem to get it to play
[06:20] <Patrialt> lol yea
[06:20] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  from whati can tell that just 'rescans' the grub menu.lst file's comments and does some changes
[06:20] <mhb> hi all
[06:20] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: use adept
[06:21] <Dr_willis> it dosent rescan the whold system/all the drives for new linux installs - which is what the installer seems to do.
[06:21] <nosrednaekim> !adept
[06:21] <ubotu> adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto
[06:21] <mhb> I've set up multiple panels, and I want to resize the second one
[06:21] <bigdad1e> i am but i cant get it to work
[06:21] <nosrednaekim> Dr_willis: oh..ok.. nice
[06:21] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  grub is one of those tools thats well worth going to its homepage and printing/reading all their docs.     :)
[06:21] <mhb> but every time I right click on it - Configure panel it always pops-up the first panel configuration
[06:21] <Dr_willis> grub is sort of amazing in ways
[06:21] <Dr_willis> heh.
[06:21] <Patrialt> should be at like /boot/grub/config.ini or something, but you can manually insert new OS details i'd say
[06:21] <bigdad1e> i need to install libdvdcss
[06:21] <Patrialt> like...just copy previous OS directions, and replace the necessary parts :)
[06:22] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  of course you can MANUALLY insert the entrys. thats trivial.  This is linux of course..
[06:22] <nosrednaekim> !dvd | bigdad1e
[06:22] <ubotu> bigdad1e: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:22] <Patrialt> haha yea, good call
[06:22] <Dr_willis> getting the system to see ALL the os's you got installed and making the right entrioes is a little harder.
[06:22] <Dr_willis> ive hacked and slashed and fought with grub many a day. :)
[06:22] <Patrialt> i'd say just give it time lol, sooner or later everything will be PnP :P
[06:22] <bigdad1e> | norednaekim all i wanna do is watch my movies lol but its not letting me lol
[06:23] <Dr_willis> Patrialt,  in some ways thats a bad thing.
[06:23] <Patrialt> well yea, it allows user idiotness :P
[06:23] <Dr_willis> when everything does everything automaticially.. then somthing 'breaks' you have to then  dig down UNDER the idiot-proofing to find the real problem.
[06:23] <Dr_willis> one of the reasons i hate this useless eye candy.
[06:23] <nosrednaekim> Dr_willis: ever seen the suse grub which,when rebooting, lets you select which OS to boot?
[06:23] <Patrialt> haha good call, but it's pretty much the only way for newby windows users to convert :P
[06:24] <Dr_willis> did X crash due to this or that.. or  was it Beryls fault. :)
[06:24] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  err... thats pretty much how grub works. :)
[06:24] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: are they in divx or dvd format?
[06:24] <bigdad1e> xvid
[06:24] <nosrednaekim> Dr_willis:  but I never could figure out how to make Kubuntu do it
[06:25] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  same as in all the otehr disrtos.. see we are back to this idot-proofing. :)
[06:25] <Dr_willis> they both use GRUB.. they both use grubs configs.. its just differnt options and config files.
[06:25] <nosrednaekim> at least it isn't default
[06:25] <Dr_willis> learn grub and you learn the fundamentals.
[06:25] <holger> i need help with mouse acceleration..... how may i disable mouseaccel ?
[06:25] <nosrednaekim> No,I mean in kdm, when you say "reboot" you can tell it what os to reboot into,
[06:25] <Patrialt> it's okay tho, without idiots and broken simplicities there are no troubleshooting workdesk positions to talk to people for a couple $ a minute :P
[06:25] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  thats a KDM/GDM option
[06:25] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: what do you mean adept doesn't work?
[06:26] <nosrednaekim> yeah..I guess so...
[06:26] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  ive seen that befor also.  nice in ways.
[06:26] <nosrednaekim> I guess I'll just have to get dirty digging..;)
[06:26] <bigdad1e> it wont install the package i have for the libdvd
[06:26] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  not sure how kdm/gdm do it. I think they edit the grub config file wihch is a bit scary in ways
[06:26] <bigdad1e> and how do i get wine on kubuntu?
[06:27] <Dr_willis> holger,  kcontrol --> perhprials -> mouse
[06:27] <Dr_willis> !wine
[06:27] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:27] <Dr_willis> sudo apt-get install wine
[06:27] <nosrednaekim> !divx

[06:28] <bigdad1e> im new i dont understand whats on those sites.. ive been getting them all day and not 1 of them helped me
[06:28] <Patrialt> bigdad1e you can also go to add/remove programs, select "any suite" and search for wine
[06:28] <holger> willis, i need to disable mouse accelleration for Enemy Territory
[06:28] <Daisuke_Ido> Dr_willis: isn't the version of wine in the default repositories *several* releases outdated?
[06:28] <Daisuke_Ido> .9.22, i think
[06:28] <Dr_willis> Daisuke_Ido,  proberly.. but wine gets updates like every week... so
[06:28] <Daisuke_Ido> true
[06:29] <Dr_willis> I dont even use it much.. I dont use cedega any more either
[06:29] <Daisuke_Ido> i try to avoid cedega
[06:29] <bigdad1e> the terminal wouldnt let me install wine
[06:29] <nosrednaekim> why not?
[06:29] <nosrednaekim> does it give you an error?
[06:29] <Daisuke_Ido> and there are very few programs i need wine for
[06:29] <bigdad1e> eading package lists... Done
[06:29] <bigdad1e> Building dependency tree... Done
[06:29] <bigdad1e> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[06:29] <bigdad1e> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[06:29] <bigdad1e> is only available from another source
[06:29] <bigdad1e> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[06:30] <alanhaggai> Where are the KDE headers installed in Kubuntu?
[06:30] <bigdad1e> neither will adept
[06:30] <Daisuke_Ido> is there a linux equivalent to dvdshrink in windows?
[06:30] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[06:30] <bigdad1e> how and what is that?
[06:31] <nosrednaekim> !pastebin
[06:31] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)

[06:41] <bigdad1e> there was alot of err and failed
[06:42] <nosrednaekim> finished?
[06:42] <bigdad1e> ya
[06:42] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: ok...
[06:43] <gioacchino> hello
[06:43] <nosrednaekim> thats PROBABLY ok..
[06:43] <soulrider> does anyone know of a program i can use to plot in 3d ?
[06:43] <bigdad1e> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10212/
[06:43] <gioacchino> anybody now how to use sudo command in a sh script ?
[06:43] <nosrednaekim> open up adept again and search for "divx4linux"
[06:43] <soulrider> w32codecs already includes a DivX codec
[06:44] <nosrednaekim> !search divx4linux
[06:44] <ubotu> Found:
[06:44] <bigdad1e> i need xvid
[06:44] <bigdad1e> not dvix
[06:44] <soulrider> xvid is already included i think
[06:44] <gioacchino> anyone know how to use sudo command in a sh script ?
[06:44] <nosrednaekim> 'lo
[06:45] <bigdad1e> and it didnt show in adept
[06:45] <nosrednaekim> gioacchino: just put a sudo in?
[06:45] <soulrider> bigdad1e: i think xvid is already included, you can also try installing libxvidcore
[06:45] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e:  OH!
[06:45] <nosrednaekim> did you search for xvid?
[06:46] <soulrider> sudo aptitude install libxvidcore4
[06:46] <gioacchino> yes
[06:46] <bigdad1e> now what do i do?
[06:47] <gioacchino> I want  a put in a sh scritp sudo command with password
[06:47] <nosrednaekim> gioacchino: that doesn't work?
[06:47] <soulrider> bigdad1e: if you installed it thats it
[06:47] <gioacchino> esample :  sudo mkdir
[06:47] <niles> hi
[06:47] <soulrider> stuff should just play if it didnt before
[06:47] <gioacchino> I not know the sintax for put in the password of root
[06:47] <soulrider> bigdad1e: you could also install vlc, its a player that brings its own folters i think
[06:47] <niles> ctrl z wont put irssi in the background
[06:47] <nosrednaekim> gioacchino: I don't think you can do that, the best way is yo run the .sh with sudo priveleges
[06:47] <bigdad1e> how do i get vlc?
[06:48] <soulrider> gioacchino: if you do "sudo mkdir <dirname>"
[06:48] <gioacchino> I have try with this sintax : sudo command passw but not work
[06:48] <soulrider> it should prompt for the password
[06:48] <soulrider> bigdad1e: sudo aptitude install vlc
[06:48] <soulrider> but let me re-check the package name
[06:48] <nosrednaekim> bigdad1e: did soulrider's command work?
[06:48] <soulrider> yes, vlc is ok
[06:48] <bigdad1e> i dont think so
[06:48] <soulrider> nosrednaekim: im almost sure that xvid is already included
[06:48] <gioacchino> nosrednaekim: the problem is only a part of sh script must be executed with sudo privileges
[06:49] <nosrednaekim> soulrider: it wasn't for me...
[06:49] <bigdad1e> Unable to lock the administration directory   what does that mean?
[06:49] <nosrednaekim> gioacchino: ahh... and you don't want to be prompted for the password?
[06:49] <soulrider> !adeptfix | bigdad1e
[06:49] <ubotu> bigdad1e: If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:49] <gioacchino> yes you understand ;)
[06:49] <soulrider> type that
[06:50] <soulrider> also, bigdad1e make sure thata dept is not open when you type one of my commands :P
[06:50] <Ashex|Work> bigdad1e, it means that a process is using the dpkg directory, possibly adept_manager or apt itself
[06:51] <Ashex|Work> it's locked whenever apt is installing or upgrading a pacakge
[06:51] <nosrednaekim> gioacchino: I don't think you can do that...its probably better to just sudo the whole command
[06:51] <bigdad1e> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "vlc"
[06:51] <soulrider> uhm, hold on
[06:51] <nosrednaekim> command > script
[06:51] <Ashex|Work> bigdadle, you need to enable the universe repository
[06:51] <Ashex|Work> !universe | bigdad1e
[06:51] <ubotu> bigdad1e: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[06:51] <JuJuBee> I need to find a motherboard for core 2 duo socket 775 cpu that is supported by ubuntu.  Can anybody help?
[06:51] <soulrider> bigdad1e: this may all seem very complicated at first, but dont get discouraged, linux is so much easier than it seems!
[06:52] <nosrednaekim> Ashex|Work: I just had hom do that
[06:52] <bigdad1e> i thought it was i did that already and so did noraesraekim
[06:52] <Ashex|Work> nosrednaekim, ah, my mistake
[06:52] <Ashex|Work> do an apt-cache search vlc
[06:53] <bigdad1e> didnt do anything
[06:53] <Ashex|Work> hookay
[06:53] <nosrednaekim> JuJuBee: any nvidia...
[06:53] <Ashex|Work> bigdad1e, which repository did you enable universe in?
[06:53] <soulrider> JuJuBee: i dont know for sure, but ubuntu will probably work no matter which mobo youre using
[06:53] <bigdad1e> um..the first 2 i think

[06:55] <firephoto> JuJuBee: is your cd/dvd drive an ide one?

[06:55] <soulrider> JuJuBee: i got an intel mobo and it works like charm =.
[06:55] <matthias> can i then also choose to go back to kde3
[06:55] <matthias> or let it put me that way
[06:55] <soulrider> matthias: i dont suggets going to kde4
[06:55] <firephoto> JuJuBee: you've used the desktop cd? latest daily, or herd? (feisty)
[06:55] <Ashex|Work> bigdad1e, I'm taking a look at it
[06:55] <matthias> can i choose in kdm the kde3 AND the kde4?
[06:55] <bigdad1e> ok
[06:55] <JuJuBee> Many people on this and #ubuntu have tried to help me and no luck.
[06:55] <matthias> session
[06:55] <besonen_mobile> what's the root password for kubuntu?
[06:56] <soulrider> matthias: i dont think so
[06:56] <JuJuBee> I tired 6.06, 6.10, feisty
[06:56] <soulrider> besonen_mobile: you dont need to know :P use sudo
[06:56] <matthias> oh thx
[06:56] <firephoto> JuJuBee: right, but the feisty desktop cd, not the alternative...?
[06:56] <nosrednaekim> firephoto: ahh... that would be a problem wouldn't it ....
[06:56] <soulrider> matthias: if i were you i would stay in kde3
[06:56] <Ashex|Work> bigdad1e, you only enable multiverse
[06:56] <Ashex|Work> add universe to lines 3 and 4
[06:56] <jean-benoit> !fr
[06:56] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:56] <JuJuBee> Not yet, only alt.
[06:56] <besonen_mobile> amarok is asking for one to "install mp3 support".
[06:56] <nosrednaekim> matthias: yes
[06:57] <bigdad1e> how did i get that up in the terminal?
[06:57] <soulrider> besonen_mobile: the password it prompts for is your own pass
[06:57] <firephoto> JuJuBee: alt is probably still broken on feisty for a g965. i thought they had fixed it though.
[06:57] <Ashex|Work> bigdad1e, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:57] <nosrednaekim> soulrider: you can choose between the two...
[06:57] <firephoto> pata_marvell module is probably missing.
[06:57] <besonen_mobile> soulrider: i try that again
[06:57] <soulrider> bigdad1e: if you want to edit a file using the terminal you can use the "nano" editor
