[12:05] <sdolnack> what's the best way to get torrents on linux?  wine+utorrent, or azureus?
[12:05] <claydoh> ktorrent for me
[12:05] <sdolnack> ehh
[12:05] <sdolnack> ktorrent seems slow and i do'nt get a lot of connections
[12:05] <claydoh> tho many like azureus multitude of extra features
[12:05] <Bernier> sdolnak what distro r u using
[12:06] <kronoz> is their any docs on installing flash/w32codecs inside a chroot?
[12:06] <sdolnack> kubuntu dapper
[12:08] <claydoh> http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/index.php?page=downloads
[12:09] <claydoh> the breezy deb works fine in dapper
[12:09] <claydoh> the 2.0 beta1
[12:09] <james_xxx> what is the best way to get the latest firefox?
[12:09] <sdolnack> Swiftfox!!!!
[12:09] <claydoh> sudo apt-get update :)
[12:09] <sdolnack> it's optimized for specific processors, compiled from the firefox source
[12:09] <sdolnack> use it instead!! :-D
[12:10] <claydoh> ya, swiftfox is a little faster :)
[12:10] <navegante> use the update feature inside firefox
[12:11] <claydoh> but the latest official FF was just released in apt, with security patches etc
[12:11] <james_xxx> sdolnack: i dont think there is a swiftfox for my system, but i'll have to check
[12:12] <claydoh> that you will have to find and download, its not in the repositories
[12:12] <james_xxx> automatix has swiftfox
[12:13] <claydoh> but it is sooo easy to install yourself :)
[12:15] <sdolnack> james_xxx: just go to getswiftfox.com
[12:15] <sdolnack> what is automatix?
[12:16] <sdolnack> i i keep hearing all these things about it not working
[12:16] <sdolnack> james_xxx: http://www.getswiftfox.com/releases.htm
[12:17] <transgaming> where can i find programs and utilitys in .sh files
[12:17] <Bernier> hi, when I close my computer , everything goes well except for one thing. when it gets to "will now halt", there's the click sound of the computer when it closes but it doesn't. it stays open and get stuck there until I press the power button. Is there something to do so it closes automatically?
[12:18] <sdolnack> transgaming: what do you mean find programs in .sh files?
[12:18] <sdolnack> to install programs, you'll want to use Adept
[12:18] <transgaming> not .deb or rpm
[12:18] <Bernier> the source you mean
[12:18] <transgaming> program like crossoveroffice
[12:19] <sdolnack> why not use openoffice :-)
[12:19] <Bernier> right
[12:19] <transgaming> i'll use it
[12:19] <slicslak> can anyone recomend a cli mp3 player?  something with a nice text gui.
[12:19] <Bernier> cli?
[12:19] <slicslak> command line interface
[12:19] <sdolnack> transgaiming: have you tried openoffice yet?  it is a very suitable msoffice replacement.  I use it in Xp too
[12:19] <Bernier> lol sorry
[12:20] <slicslak> i can't believe i just had to define that word in a linux channell....
[12:20] <Bernier> i'm a bit tired
[12:20] <slicslak> :-p\
[12:20] <Bernier> and it's also my 3rd day on linux :P
[12:22] <transgaming> i mean that crossoveroffice is so is to install just write in a terminal << sh filename>> and it's done
[12:22] <transgaming> i can't install deb files
[12:22] <transgaming> :(
[12:23] <sdolnack> yeah--it's a bit different from windows
[12:23] <slicslak> transgaming, what exactly are you looking fore?
[12:26] <claydoh> 95 % of what you will find is available in adept, once you edit repositories
[12:27] <claydoh> no need to download separate files
[12:28] <h3sp4wn> some stuff is not in adept that is useful though or the versions are too old
[12:28] <claydoh> as for crossover office (a commercial for-pay program) you need to set the .sh file to be executable by right-clicking on the file, choose "proerties" and check the approprriate box
[12:29] <claydoh> then you should be able to just double-click the file
[12:29] <claydoh> yes, but 95% is
[12:31] <apotekDK> Good evening everyone :)
[12:31] <claydoh> and Ubuntu's repos are about as up to date as I have seen, and they seem to have a decent line between cutting-edge-up-to-date and usable-stable-tested
[12:32] <transgaming> now i've just downloaded alien, it is tar file, how can i install it
[12:32] <Snake> Okay now.
[12:32] <apotekDK> Uhm.. I have a question regarding wireless networking.. im trying to install it but cant seem to get it working :P
[12:32] <claydoh> transgaming: install it from adept
[12:33] <claydoh> the tar fil;e is the source and has to be compiled and installed
[12:33] <h3sp4wn> Does anyone know where to get pine from in the repos (I know it cannot be distributed except as source but should it not be in the deb-src repos somewhere ?)
[12:33] <transgaming> how can i compiled and then to install
[12:33] <claydoh> you don't need to
[12:34] <claydoh> it wouls take a *lot* of other packages to be installed foirst
[12:34] <rafel> hola
[12:34] <claydoh> first enable extra repositories
[12:34] <apotekDK> Can anyone throw me a link to some documentation on ubuntu/kubuntu ? :) Cant seem to find much on ubuntu.org except some general docs.. isnt there a complete install guide?

[12:35] <mythicness> It just errors with a crap load of 9A 9A 9A 9A's when I try boot
[12:35] <claydoh> then fetch updates in adept, and then search for alien
[12:35] <kwwii> ouch
[12:36] <claydoh> sorry, did I poke ya?
[12:36] <kwwii> no but I feel sorry for mythicness

[12:37] <sdolnack> hi
[12:38] <D4m4ge> i have a problem :/
[12:38] <sdolnack> what problem do you have?
[12:38] <D4m4ge> i cant edit my xorg.conf with kate using sudo
[12:38] <apotekDK> Can anyone throw me a link to some documentation on ubuntu/kubuntu ? :) Cant seem to find much on ubuntu.org except some general docs.. isnt there a complete install guide/update guide/etc.. :D
[12:38] <sdolnack> what happens when you try to
[12:38] <D4m4ge> ui can open it without sudo
[12:39] <sdolnack> try kdesu
[12:39] <sdolnack> instead of sudo
[12:39] <D4m4ge> ahhh
[12:39] <D4m4ge> ok lol
[12:39] <kwwii> or sudo -s for something a bit more long term
[12:40] <sdolnack> long term?
[12:40] <D4m4ge> ok thanx, seems to work
[12:40] <D4m4ge> sorry 'bout that
[12:40] <D4m4ge> fisrt time on kubuntu
[12:40] <sdolnack> glad i could help
[12:42] <D4m4ge> lets try now ;)
[12:43] <apotekDK> Was wondering.. are there any speciel linux drivers for ibm laptops?
[12:44] <trip> yeah
[12:44] <trip> If you go into adept and search for ibm
[12:44] <trip> or sudo apt-cache search ibm in terminal
[12:45] <apotekDK> Mkay! :)
[12:45] <apotekDK> noting that down
[12:46] <apotekDK> Im all new too *unix ... (can see im not the only one)
[12:46] <apotekDK> *to *unix too*
[12:46] <apotekDK> :P
[12:46] <apotekDK> What about the docs on kubuntu trip?
[12:47] <trip> hm
[12:47] <trip> gimme a second
[12:47] <apotekDK> sweet
[12:47] <trip> The ibm addons might be under a non-standard respository
[12:48] <apotekDK> how do you choose that?
[12:49] <trip> It's your /etc/apt.sources file
[12:49] <apotekDK> is there a shortcut to open the terminal?
[12:49] <trip> I thinkpad addons are used so linux can communicate with thinkpad buttons and thinkpad lights
[12:49] <trip> My dapper install is very 'customized'
[12:49] <trip> i don't remember the original layout
[12:50] <trip> if you goto K menu and run you can just run xterm
[12:50] <trip> If you'd like I can upload my sources.list for you
[12:50] <apotekDK> Right! when i browse i constantly hit the "back" key on my t42 and konquorer just goes to my home webpage :P
[12:51] <apotekDK> Im not really sure what your saying trip :) uhm..
[12:51] <trip> The sources.list file is what apt uses to find packages for your OS
[12:51] <apotekDK> xterm the same as the terminal.. just in another layout?
[12:52] <apotekDK> I enable some universe and some other source in adept
[12:52] <trip> yeah its just an x app that opens up a command line
[12:52] <trip> apotekDK, you running dapper?
[12:52] <apotekDK> yup
[12:52] <trip> k
[12:52] <apotekDK> :)
[12:52] <trip> i'll upload mine
[12:52] <apotekDK> where to?
[12:52] <trip> I'll give you a link in a second
[12:52] <apotekDK> great
[12:52] <apotekDK> the universe/multi something arent good enough?
[12:53] <trip> There are *alot* of others
[12:53] <trip> hehe
[12:53] <trip> I use the more common ones though
[12:54] <apotekDK> mkay :)
[12:56] <apotekDK> was wondering trip..  Can one enable SSH and let some other with root access fastly fix some of my issues?
[12:57] <TheHighChild> How is everthing coming along james_xx?
[12:58] <imagery> after I added some hard drives, grub gives error 17 instead of booting. I booted up the kubuntu liveCD and ran grub-install /dev/sdb (that is the HD with kubuntu on it). no change, so I booted up the liveCD again and mounted sdb1 (I only have one partition), chrooted in and ran grub-install /dev/sdb. This gives me "not found or not a block device". fdisk -l returns "cannot open /proc/partitions"
[12:58] <pekuja> is there a way to restore my bootloader (grub) from the live cd?
[01:00] <imagery> pekuja: normally by the way I tried to
[01:00] <imagery> (afaik)
[01:01] <TheHighChild> pekuja you can do 'sudo grub-install /dev/hdax' replace hdax with the desired partiton
[01:01] <imagery> btw, this is a nforce4 board on the nvidiaraid chipset
[01:01] <D4m4ge> can the ubuntu sources.list be used for kubuntu?
[01:01] <pekuja> TheHighChild, the boot partition? does that install it to the MBR?
[01:01] <TheHighChild> D4m4ge: yeah, everything is the same except the windowing system.
[01:02] <D4m4ge> ok thx ;)
[01:02] <NthDegree> D4m4ge yes the sources.list can be
[01:02] <NthDegree> oops
[01:02] <NthDegree> :$
[01:03] <TheHighChild> pekuja: TO be honest, you;ll want to talk to someone else. I am not so expert with partitons and would hate to lead you astray.
[01:03] <TheHighChild> pekuja: Hold on, I'
[01:03] <TheHighChild> ll google some stuff
[01:03] <imagery> strictly running grub-install /dev/sdb returns "could not find device for /boot: not found or not a block device". I forgot to add that
[01:04] <pekuja> TheHighChild, that's ok, I'm looking at the forums now and found a thread that looks good
[01:04] <TheHighChild> imagery if you are putting the bootloader on a second HD, you'll want to change the BIOS to boot from that disk first. It usually boots to the first harddisk
[01:04] <D4m4ge> kubuntu dapper is nice ;)
[01:04] <D4m4ge> i dont have the bugs i had with the previous version
[01:05] <D4m4ge> but like all recent linux systems it is optimized for 1280x1024 resolutions at least
[01:05] <apotekDK> I have nothing but bugs.. Or ehm.. Im just stupid :P
[01:05] <D4m4ge> feeling narrow in 1024x768
[01:05] <imagery> TheHighChild: my BIOS lets me pick which HD to boot from
[01:05] <oklinux> can any one help me on installing java ?
[01:05] <TheHighChild> !java
[01:05] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[01:05] <imagery> so that is not the issue here
[01:07] <flo> does anyone have a hint on how can i get a trust usb tablet to work corectly on my dapper?
[01:08] <oklinux> why kubuntu does not have java already install ?
[01:09] <h3sp4wn> grub needs to be installed to hd0 (if it is the first disk in the drive i.e hda doesn't exist
[01:09] <Hawkwind> !java
[01:09] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[01:09] <Hawkwind> oklinux: ^^^
[01:09] <Hawkwind> Read that and install java
[01:09] <apotekDK> trip? :)
[01:10] <oklinux> hey are you lost Hawkwind ?
[01:10] <Hawkwind> oklinux: Nope, not at all
[01:11] <oklinux> I did all the line on that web page but no java
[01:12] <Chicken_Fire> hi folks
[01:12] <Chicken_Fire> How do I change the download timeout in for adept? do I have to change it for apt-get? how?
[01:12] <TheHighChild> oklinux: Kubuntu/Ubuntu are completely open-source. If you want proprietary apps, you gotta get em yyourself
[01:13] <apotekDK> trip could you upload the sources list?
[01:14] <apotekDK> apt-get cant find any packages...

[01:14] <imagery> TheHighChild: I just recalled grub uses hdN instead of hdX/sdX. I tried changing from hd1 to hd2 in menu.lst. hopefully that was it
[01:16] <serenity> which os games are really good?
[01:16] <imagery> or not. maybe I should play with some other numbers there
[01:16] <apotekDK> can i just copy those sources to adept? (and are they then availible in apt-get?)
[01:18] <sdolnack> jeeeez I need more grim fandango-esque games
[01:30] <neoncode> does anyone know what a moc preprocessor is?

[01:32] <sdolnack> no clue
[01:32] <sdolnack> sorry
[01:34] <Chicken__Fire> aarg, I have to press ok for the java licences to install java 1.5, but the adept installer hides it ;((((
[01:34] <Blissex> neoncode: 'apt-cache search moc' might help :-)
[01:35] <james_xxx> i am trying to configure frostwire to use an external usb hardrive for its shared folder, how do i do that? i still do not understand the linux file system
[01:35] <neoncode> there is a moc package but that's a media player...
[01:40] <D4m4ge> question : qhy does apt-cache search does not propose me a smp 686 linux-image?
[01:40] <D4m4ge> why*
[01:41] <kelly_roach> I believe apt-cache search only queries the local package cache
[01:41] <apotekDK> how do you install gnome instead og KDE?
[01:42] <kelly_roach> try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.
[01:42] <D4m4ge> can i update the cache db?
[01:42] <apotekDK> cant find the file.. i havent added new repos
[01:43] <kelly_roach> D4m4ge: apt-get update should help in that regard, but I'm not too familiar with APT (normally use Synaptic.)
[01:43] <D4m4ge> ok thx
[01:43] <[nige] > hi all
[01:44] <kelly_roach> look in /etc/apt/sources.list; should be a list of disabled (commented out) repos.
[01:44] <D4m4ge> my sources.list mustnot be good
[01:44] <D4m4ge> oh my english is so ba, sorry :x
[01:44] <D4m4ge> bad*
[01:45] <D4m4ge> i used a friend's sources.list
[01:45] <kelly_roach> There is an online tool to automatically generate a sources.list file. I'll have a look around real quick.

[01:53] <james_xxx> but easyubuntu does
[01:53] <h3sp4wn> I am glad - I will recommend people use automatix
[01:53] <apotekDK> isnt there a complete install guide for kubuntu?

[01:54] <apotekDK> h3sp4wn:  i dont reckon i could make a usable guide ;)
[01:55] <james_xxx> and this kind of thing is actually teaching me a lot
[01:55] <james_xxx> apotekDK: i thought you were german, but you use words like 'reckon' which makes me wonder....
[01:56] <james_xxx> or does DK = denmark?
[01:56] <apotekDK> hehe
[01:56] <tuxcicles> apotekDK: check out wiki.kubuntu.org

[02:04] <apotekDK> :)
[02:05] <tuxcicles> apotekDK: is it sound, or is it that you dont have codecs to play sound?  What type of network setup do you have?
[02:06] <apotekDK> Sound.. cant play mp3 files.. Dont think theres any driver loaded for the soundcard
[02:07] <apotekDK> regarding the network? What type? :D wireless? :)
[02:09] <tuxcicles> you need to install restricted codecs for gstreamer, good bad ugly mad...
[02:09] <tuxcicles> depending on version of kubuntu, akode-mpeg
[02:09] <apotekDK> dapper..
[02:10] <apotekDK> God im lost :D

[02:27] <gemidjy> I dont use Kubuntu
[02:27] <gemidjy> just was interested in its default theme
[02:33] <gemidjy> wow, I can't believe
[02:33] <gemidjy> tsk tsk
[02:39] <hupp3l> is there a program in kubuntu to add "widgets"?
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> I read in here earlier that you can get a more stable install by installing Ubuntu then installing KDE
[02:43] <apotekDK> ive experienced several program crasches and programs not answering with the dapper install :S
[02:44] <aseigo> Jack_Sparrow: i can't see how that would be, and it certainly doesn't mimic my experience.
[02:44] <aseigo> hupp3l: superkaramba?
[02:44] <james_xxx> aseigo: what Jack_Sparrow was saying has been said a lot in here the last week or so
[02:44] <aseigo> really .. interesting.
[02:45] <james_xxx> hmm, i installed gaim, but i don't see it on any menus
[02:45] <james_xxx> how can i start gaim from the command line?
[02:45] <aseigo> james_xxx: as 'gaim'
[02:46] <aseigo> james_xxx: or just do alt-f2 or select "run command" from the kmenu and do it from there
[02:46] <aseigo> james_xxx: it should show up in the kmenu however. it may take a few seconds for the sys cache to catch up with the installation
[02:46] <james_xxx> i installed it but apparently it didn't work
[02:47] <aseigo> james_xxx: that would explain why it's not in the menu then ;) are you sure it's installed?
[02:47] <james_xxx> thanks, i'll use kopete
[02:47] <james_xxx> aseigo, i tried to install it with automatix, but for some reason it isn't doing it
[02:47] <CheeseBurgerMan> Install what?
[02:48] <aseigo> gaim
[02:48] <aseigo> james_xxx: why don't you just use adept?
[02:49] <Kyral> automatix == junk *runs*
[02:49] <CheeseBurgerMan> Yeah, what's wrong with the version in the repos?
[02:49] <james_xxx> aseigo: because you can get the newer version on automatix
[02:49] <Kyral> GAIM 2?
[02:50] <Kyral> You do realize its still development quality?
[02:50] <james_xxx> Kyral: yes
[02:50] <Kyral> and thats why its not in the repos
[02:50] <Kyral> You can compile it from scratch, but until the GAIM devs declare it stable then it won't be in the repos
[02:50] <Kyral> I do hope you understand why
[02:51] <james_xxx> Kyral: i use it on another comp, and have no problems,,,, and i think it's 2, something something beta that you are referring to....
[02:51] <CheeseBurgerMan> 2.0.0 Beta 3
[02:51] <james_xxx> ok
[02:51] <Kyral> The latest I have is GAIM 1.5.0
[02:51] <james_xxx> i had it on this computer...... but have reinstalled, i would like it back
[02:52] <Kyral> james_xxx: download the tarball and compile it :D
[02:52] <james_xxx> Kyral: i am a linux dummie
[02:52] <james_xxx> lol
[02:52] <Kyral> james_xxx: compiling ain't hard
[02:52] <james_xxx> as you have already guessed
[02:52] <Kyral> and its fun :D
[02:52] <Kyral> C'mon! Learn some things! Be more than you can be lol
[02:53] <Kyral> Plus some configure scripts are funny
[02:53] <james_xxx> Kyral: i plan to.... i bought a computer about 6 weeks ago just to experiment with linux on.... now i have linux on all 3 computers, but i'm so new still, that it ain't funny
[02:53] <Kyral> "Checking for vast quantities of ale in fride.....not found. Suggest you remedy this situation"
[02:54] <james_xxx> Kyral: speaking of ale, i need to buy some beer within the next hour, or i won't have any tomorrow
[02:54] <Kyral> james_xxx: I had a configure script output that once during my Slackware days :P
[02:55] <CheeseBurgerMan> lol
[02:55] <james_xxx> man i can't believe it's 9:00 pm , i have been messing with kubuntu and mepis all freaking day lol
[02:56] <apotekDK> its 02:55 here :S
[02:56] <CheeseBurgerMan> james_xxx: And that's a problem? :)
[02:56] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: Here is 2am
[02:57] <james_xxx> h3sp4wn: where are you at?
[02:57] <Kyral> [H[2J
[02:57] <Kyral> Arch Linux 0.7.2 (Gimmick)    (\n) (\l)
[02:57] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: england
[02:58] <james_xxx> ahh
[03:02] <neoncode> is it possible to have compiled versions of firefox 1.5 and Bon Echo installed at the same time?
[03:02] <james_xxx> is there any reason not to have more than one unix/linux distro on a single OC?
[03:02] <james_xxx> PC*
[03:03] <CheeseBurgerMan> Not really.
[03:04] <linuxmonkey> james_xxx:  testing purposes is the only thing i can think of
[03:04] <james_xxx> i would really like to experiment with a few other distros, and with freeBSD
[03:05] <james_xxx> would grub automatically see the other OS's?
[03:05] <CheeseBurgerMan> No, but the other distros should install grub, and in the setup process it should detect the other OS's.
[03:06] <james_xxx> ok
[03:10] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: Read the freebsd handbook
[03:10] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: Cover to cover every single bit of it - it will teach you alot about unix
[03:10] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: Very well written and easy to understand
[03:11] <james_xxx> h3sp4wn: thank you, i will look for that
[03:12] <h3sp4wn> james_xxx: It is prominently displayed on the freebsd site
[03:12] <apotekDK> BSD and Linux dist. are a bit far from eathother?
[03:13] <james_xxx> h3sp4wn: i have read that freeBSD wants to give linux a run for its money in the near future
[03:13] <apotekDK> what does that mean?
[03:14] <james_xxx> well, they are wanting freeBSD to catch up, and maybe pass up linux
[03:14] <james_xxx> in its usability, capabilities, etc
[03:14] <james_xxx> i dunno
[03:15] <apotekDK> freeBSD are way further than linux?
[03:15] <james_xxx> apotekDK: i suppose it depends what you are doing... i was meaning for desktop use
[03:15] <apotekDK> everyone i know who are working professionally with servers all use *BSD... but thats maybe only fur the serverside
[03:15] <james_xxx> in the home
[03:15] <apotekDK> then your true i guess
[03:16] <apotekDK> :)
[03:16] <james_xxx> right
[03:17] <h3sp4wn> I have only used debian based stuff for 6 months or something
[03:17] <apotekDK> But anyway, im not qualified to even discuss this :P
[03:17] <h3sp4wn> used bsd before that soley
[03:17] <apotekDK> soley?
[03:17] <h3sp4wn> on desktop and servers
[03:17] <Healot> BSD-based OSes is good, if you fluent in it
[03:18] <apotekDK> you mean if you know how to use it properly?
[03:18] <Healot> yes
[03:18] <Healot> well, in much of everything
[03:18] <apotekDK> mkay.. i thought so, i dont reckon *BSD is good for beginners :S?
[03:19] <Healot> even Windows Servers, virtually any OS
[03:19] <Healot> define "beginners" :)
[03:19] <apotekDK> Me
[03:19] <apotekDK> :P
[03:19] <h3sp4wn> I think BSD is great for beginners if you read the handbook and don't move on until you understand it
[03:19] <h3sp4wn> and read all of it
[03:19] <apotekDK> Sounds true.. :)
[03:20] <Healot> many BSD-based OS designers/developers are trying to make their OS very secure at install
[03:20] <Healot> like OpenBSD for example
[03:20] <h3sp4wn> Thats quite different to freebsd
[03:20] <h3sp4wn> for a desktop
[03:20] <apotekDK> Its just.. compared to windows there are SO many problems your going to encounter.. which has happened to me everytime i forced myself to install either Linux or *BSD :)
[03:20] <Healot> even GNU/Linux... with SELinux around, even ubuntu can be as secure as possible
[03:21] <h3sp4wn> Trusted Solaris is the most secure os I have seen
[03:21] <Healot> but I know many people hate SELinux for some reasons :0
[03:21] <apotekDK> I've spend hours finding a solution to a probably easy problem.. and when i advancet i quickly got stuck with a new problem :..:P
[03:22] <h3sp4wn> You have to really understand what you are doing
[03:22] <h3sp4wn> to use selinux
[03:22] <Healot> yeah Understand
[03:22] <Healot> that's the keyword many "beginners" forget
[03:22] <apotekDK> Thats probably where im stalling ;)
[03:22] <apotekDK> "rtfm" :D
[03:23] <h3sp4wn> But not understanding something like selinux does not mean its crap
[03:23] <h3sp4wn> sounds like just people who don't know how it works properly (I don't but want to find out soon to install it on an openwrt router
[03:23] <Healot> if you understood the fundamental of OS architecture and SEcurity features
[03:24] <ahmed_> What's the command to reconfigure Xserver?
[03:24] <Healot> you can survive even with Windows
[03:24] <Healot> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:24] <ahmed_> I switched video cards and X isn't starting anymore for me :(
[03:24] <apotekDK> security isnt important to me lol.. i just need goddamn functionality lol
[03:24] <ahmed_> Thanks Healot
[03:25] <apotekDK> is FreeBSD overall as easy to learn how to use compared to Linux dists.?
[03:25] <Healot> apotekDK: that's where everything went wrong :)
[03:25] <Healot> apotekDK: I would say yes
[03:25] <BioVorE> apotekDK: www.freebsd.org and look at the handbook..
[03:25] <apotekDK> Hmm
[03:25] <Healot> except on disk partitioning and administrative part :)
[03:26] <apotekDK> What about installing, configuring and setting up the system?
[03:26] <BioVorE> Freebsd is an different approach to unix.. some say it better.. others say it worse..
[03:26] <BioVorE> apotekDK: read the handbook.. its fairly well layed out..
[03:27] <Healot> FreeBSD people have done tremendous things in the past and present time, i would say
[03:27] <apotekDK> I might.. :) It seems to me that Debian and FreeBSD stands out from all the rest, regarding docs, help and the community  itself
[03:27] <Healot> especially documentation
[03:27] <apotekDK> my thoughts excactly
[03:27] <Healot> th HCL for example, even Ubuntu missed this one... :)
[03:28] <apotekDK> i was surprised to see there wasnt even a real install guide to ubuntu/kubuntu on their website
[03:28] <Healot> true... sorry to say, it's true
[03:28] <Healot> but it's available on the CD though
[03:28] <apotekDK> thats really a big minus :)
[03:29] <apotekDK> Especially when their target group really seems to be linux-beginners
[03:29] <ahmed_> Woo!
[03:29] <ahmed_> X starts!
[03:29] <Healot> apotekDK: I would agree on that...
[03:30] <apotekDK> How new are these dist?
[03:30] <Healot> ubuntu?
[03:30] <Healot> start from 4.10 2004-10
[03:30] <apotekDK> if thats the oldest one?
[03:30] <tehuti> how do you initiate suspend & hibernate in kde for dapper?
[03:30] <apotekDK> okay
[03:30] <tehuti> no option in the logout dialog
[03:30] <Healot> apotekDK: the oldest is Slackware, one of the originals
[03:30] <apotekDK> of all linux dists ?
[03:31] <Healot> yeah... because you can find all the packages in Slackware,  they say
[03:31] <apotekDK> :)
[03:32] <tehuti> I can't figure out how to get suspend-hibernate started in KDE (ubuntu 6.06), is there an option in the logout dialog in Kubuntu 6.06?
[03:33] <michelleindeed> hello.  I know I shouldn't even have them, but c'est la vie, and I do, and I want to listen to them. Help?
[03:33] <Healot> tehuti: I can't figure that out either... but I think there is way to configure kdm using kdm.conf or something
[03:33] <Healot> michelleindeed: Windows MEdia audio eh?
[03:33] <Healot> !mp3
[03:33] <ubotu> methinks mp3 is a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:33] <apotekDK> michelleindeed: you probably havent loaded the drivers for your soundcard
[03:34] <apotekDK> like me
[03:34] <Healot> hope that helps.. well the wiki isn't limited to mp3...
[03:34] <apotekDK> i dunno how to :)
[03:34] <tehuti> everyone writes it works "right out of the box" but they don't say how to get it started. hotkeys don't work at all in KDE for ubuntu, even as Fn + F12 works in Gnome.
[03:34] <zblach__> i've a built in camera, but kcontrol has some problems with it. what can I do?
[03:34] <Healot> Fn keys?
[03:34] <michelleindeed> I already saw that wiki last night, and maybe I'm blonde, but it didn't help me.
[03:34] <zblach__> Healot: function keys: F1-12
[03:34] <apotekDK> Healot:  Fn.. on laptops
[03:34] <tehuti> function key yeah
[03:34] <Healot> zblach__: there is Fn key, on laptops
[03:34] <apotekDK> :)
[03:35] <Healot> not the usual F keys
[03:35] <Healot> !w32codecs
[03:35] <ubotu> a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular non-free formats. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for 64-bit systems see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[03:35] <michelleindeed> Healot: yes, I know, windows. However, I was running Windows until about ten days ago. I'm such a newb.
[03:35] <Healot> michelleindeed: follow that one instead
[03:35] <apotekDK> i also have 2 keys above the left-right-up-down keys which in windows are used to browse forward/back.. but in kubuntu they are just weird :)
[03:35] <tuxcicles> michelleindeed: w32codecs for wma files i think
[03:36] <tehuti> no one here runs a laptop and uses suspend-to-ram?
[03:36] <zblach__> apotekDK: same
[03:36] <apotekDK> Love my IBM laptop though
[03:36] <zblach__> apotekDK: notsame
[03:36] <apotekDK> :)
[03:36] <michelleindeed> tuxcicles: i thought the w32codecs were for video files only?
[03:36] <apotekDK> IBM t42.. not the newest model.. but i love it anyway :)
[03:36] <Healot> Windows Media Files, michelleindeed
[03:36] <Healot> that includes MS MPEG-4 (audio and video)
[03:37] <michelleindeed> I ought to just get mp3s of all of the stupid things.
[03:37] <Healot> michelleindeed: for mp3
[03:37] <tuxcicles> wma's, arent they video files too?
[03:37] <apotekDK> Ive never tried writing on another laptop which has a keyboard compareable to the one IBM laptops got
[03:37] <apotekDK> zblach__:
[03:37] <apotekDK> :)
[03:37] <Healot> just install "libxine-extracodecs" (you must enabled the "universe" repository first)
[03:38] <tehuti> apotekDK, what do you do to get suspend-to-ram?
[03:38] <tehuti> in KDe
[03:38] <visik7> http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32339 <- anyone had any doubt about this  ? :)
[03:38] <Healot> there is a command "hibernate" or you can use "pmi action suspend"
[03:38] <apotekDK> Dont ask me anything tehuti.. im a newbie in all ways
[03:38] <michelleindeed> Healot:  that's already installed.
[03:39] <michelleindeed> I made sure of that last night
[03:39] <Healot> ok... to suspend to ram --?> you try this one "pmi action suspend"
[03:39] <Healot> if you ACPI support hibernate -> "pmi action hibernate"
[03:40] <michelleindeed> so are w32codecs; i'm so lost. blarg.
[03:40] <Healot> prepend with "sudo"
[03:40] <Healot> michelleindeed: are you trying to play files with amarok right?
[03:40] <apotekDK> Uhm Healot do you know if theres a speciel FreeBSD desktop version?
[03:40] <michelleindeed> Healot: yes
[03:40] <Healot> apotekDK: PCBSD for you
[03:41] <tehuti> so you have to use the command line?
[03:41] <apotekDK> you know the difference from 6.1 and PCBSD?
[03:41] <Healot> michelleindeed: if you did install the packages we've told you, you should configure the output of amarok
[03:41] <mrfishhat> any idea how to install a hd-5500 tv tuner
[03:41] <tehuti> with Breezy, my hotkeys worked "out of the box"
[03:41] <tehuti> in Gnome there are GUI buttons
[03:41] <michelleindeed> i just installed gstreamer for MS windows codecs, too
[03:42] <balld> Healot: Excuse me for interrupting, but I don't see anything named libxine-extracodecs..and I have universe enabled...
[03:42] <Healot> you know wat I'm in Windows XP right know
[03:42] <balld> Any ideas?
[03:43] <Healot> balld: post me your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:43] <rebecca_> does anyonw know where I can get drivers for an Airlink wireless PCMCIA card?
[03:43] <Healot> post it to pastebin.com
[03:43] <balld> ok
[03:43] <Healot> and tell the address...
[03:43] <balld> brb
[03:43] <Healot> btw, did you do the upgrade
[03:43] <balld> I think so, I'm fairly new to Kubuntu
[03:44] <Healot> I see a lot of problems with upgrades
[03:44] <linux_> How do i display fps wit glxgears>??
[03:44] <Healot> which I actually didn;t do :-
[03:44] <michelleindeed> I did mine two days ago
[03:45] <Healot> I need to feed my stomach and soul first, back in 20 minutes or so...
[03:46] <havoc> hello
[03:46] <havoc> ok, potentially stupid question, but WTF does ubuntu's dhcpd want a subnet declaration for the *WAN* iface in dhcpd.conf?
[03:48] <psychiccyberfrea> hey I'm having a problem with my wireless card
[03:49] <havoc> or can someone point me to some docs on *ubuntu's* idea of connection sharing?
[03:49] <mrfishhat> What does "make[2] : *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop." mean?
[03:49] <Kyral> mrfishhat: in?
[03:49] <psychiccyberfrea> ah yeah I tried to do that too havoc
[03:50] <mrfishhat> Kyral: im trying to "make" some drivers
[03:50] <Kyral> mrfishhat: which ones
[03:50] <psychiccyberfrea> appearantly they don't like to use multiple networks
[03:50] <havoc> requireing a subnet declation on the wan iface is insane
[03:50] <mrfishhat> Kyral: the ones for my hd-5500 tv tuner card
[03:51] <michelleindeed> yay, i did it
[03:51] <Kyral> mrfishhat: use the readme?
[03:51] <mrfishhat> Kyral: there isnt one
[03:51] <Kyral> mrfishhat: sorry I cannot help more but...I don't know those drivers
[03:52] <psychiccyberfrea> yeah can anyone get on my wireless problem?
[03:53] <apotekDK> Healot: On *BSD-dk (the local bsd chan) they say: (translated) "If you cant comprehend ubuntu, you shouldnt probably throw yourself out in the free bsd.."
[03:55] <psychiccyberfrea> hello?
[03:57] <havoc> psychiccyberfrea: be patient
[03:57] <Kyral> psychiccyberfrea: its Saturday night, all the people with lives are out partying :P
[03:58] <psychiccyberfrea> lol
[03:58] <michelleindeed> Kyral: i resent that remark ;P
[03:58] <psychiccyberfrea> so who has a prob I could fix
[03:58] <havoc> not those of us with wives working 3rd shift :(
[03:59] <Kyral> michelleindeed: Hey it hit me too :P
[03:59] <psychiccyberfrea> I feel so lucky I still go to school lol
[03:59] <havoc> apparently no one here does MASQ w/ ubuntu
[03:59] <havoc> I'ave already got shorewall setup
[03:59] <havoc> and both ifaces
[03:59] <michelleindeed> i decided not to go to the bar because i wanted to get this thing working. wow.
[03:59] <michelleindeed> i'm getting old.
[03:59] <havoc> dhcpd.conf is not cooperating though
[03:59] <psychiccyberfrea> I just updated it works great
[04:00] <psychiccyberfrea> the one thing that stopped working is ndiswrapper
[04:00] <psychiccyberfrea> but worth the 5 hours of waiting
[04:03] <bigachattack> hello, any care to answer a quick question for me about kubuntu?
[04:03] <sdolnack> absolutely
[04:03] <psychiccyberfrea> shoot
[04:04] <bigachattack> i just installed the rss-glx package for the really slick screensvares
[04:04] <psychiccyberfrea> and
[04:04] <apotekDK> Healot: ? :)
[04:04] <bigachattack> only 3 of the screenssavers have bin for KDE, how do i add them?
[04:05] <psychiccyberfrea> put them into the screensaver folder?
[04:05] <psychiccyberfrea> lemmie check what that is quick
[04:05] <erofee> hi all
[04:05] <sdolnack> hello erofee
[04:06] <erofee> does anyone here use apollon?
[04:07] <erofee> or any other file sharing program?
[04:07] <sdolnack> I use DC++
[04:07] <erofee> how does it perform?
[04:07] <erofee> Is it any good?
[04:08] <sdolnack> well what are you trying to acoomplish exactly
[04:08] <sdolnack> what kind of files do you want to get?
[04:08] <sdolnack> bittorrent always seems to be the best bet; I use dc++ mainly for live concert recordings.
[04:08] <psychiccyberfrea> cant find it for you its probably somewhere in the KDE folders
[04:08] <erofee> mainly movies and music, sometimes pdf files.
[04:09] <balld> Can someone tell me if I'm using pastebin correctly...it always says there is an error..just paste text, add name, and click send, right?
[04:09] <erofee> i have a lot of trouble playing wmv files which is what i find a lot of on bittorrent
[04:10] <word> all legal videos of course ;p
[04:10] <bigachattack> For instance, there is a /usr/lib/xscreensaver/euphoria and /usr/bin/keuphoria.kss for GNOME and KDE respectively,  but there is only /usr/lib/xscreensaver/hyperspace and not KDE package
[04:10] <erofee> of course
[04:10] <bigachattack> I mean no KDE binary
[04:10] <sdolnack> haha
[04:10] <erofee> i just love to download other people home videos
[04:10] <erofee> :)
[04:10] <sdolnack> haha
[04:11] <sdolnack> use bittorrent
[04:11] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: really?  what else have you found there?
[04:11] <erofee> but i can't play wmv's
[04:12] <erofee> i am using xine with the mplayer essentials pack installed
[04:12] <bigachattack> Hobbsee: the rss-glx screensavers?
[04:12] <erofee> but i still can't play them
[04:12] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: yes
[04:12] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: you need kscreensaver-xsavers to run them, i know that much...
[04:12] <Hobbsee> but if there's a better way to do it, then i'd like to know about it...
[04:13] <psychiccyberfrea> erofee: you can with the gstreamer plugins unless that won't work for you
[04:13] <bigachattack> Hobbsee: I just found that
[04:13] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: :)
[04:13] <bigachattack> Hobbsee: It looks like there are a few that come standard with KDE
[04:13] <erofee> i had a few problems with gstreamer plugins so i switched to xine
[04:13] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: yeah, there are - they're not the gl ones though
[04:13] <erofee> what is a goog front-end for gstreamer?
[04:13] <bigachattack> Hobbsee: I know if you make then from source they compile for xscreensaver
[04:14] <psychiccyberfrea> you don't really need one i've just used the K sound system panel
[04:15] <havoc> Hobbsee: heyya
[04:15] <byen> hey guys, I just apt-get installed kubuntu-desktop and for some reason my numlock turns on and i cant shut it off..can someone help me
[04:15] <Hobbsee> hey havoc
[04:15] <havoc> ok, I'll ask again, now that more people are here...
[04:15] <eduardo> can anyone tell me how do i add the kubuntu dvd to apt sources?
[04:15] <havoc> can someone point me to some docs on ubuntu's idea of connection sharing?
[04:15] <byen> i cant use the laptop keyboard at all as the numluck wont shut off
[04:16] <havoc> oe explain why dhcpd what's a subnet declaration for the wan iface?
[04:16] <havoc> s/oe/or/
[04:16] <psychiccyberfrea> with dapper you just go to synaptic then go to settings > repositories then hit "add CD" and you should be able to
[04:17] <eduardo> thanks
[04:17] <psychiccyberfrea> no prob
[04:18] <psychiccyberfrea> anyone able to help me with my wireless problem I mentioned before?
[04:18] <psychiccyberfrea> after I upgraded to dapper ndiswrapper died on me
[04:19] <psychiccyberfrea> I did ndiswrapper -m too still doesn't work
[04:20] <Hobbsee> psychiccyberfrea: define "died on me"
[04:21] <psychiccyberfrea> it works, but the indicator lights don't turn on and I don't have a connection
[04:21] <psychiccyberfrea> it sees the card but it's not working
[04:23] <Hobbsee> psychiccyberfrea: try sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo depmod -a && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:23] <psychiccyberfrea> k I gotta go I'll try that thanks
[04:24] <Hobbsee> then add ndiswrapper to the end of /etc/modules
[04:24] <Hobbsee> on a new line
[04:26] <havoc> so no one does "connection sharing"?
[04:27] <havoc> it's not like I'm new to this
[04:27] <havoc> but requiring a subnet declaration on a dynamic iface makes no sense at all
[04:27] <michelleindeed> havoc: connection sharing?
[04:27] <havoc> michelleindeed: MASQ
[04:28] <michelleindeed> havoc: nevermind, forget i asked. i'll be asking questions on the answers.
[04:28] <havoc> masqurading
[04:28] <havoc> NAT?
[04:28] <havoc> I have a box w/ 2 NICs, one connected to my cable modem, one to the LAN
[04:29] <havoc> dhcpd running on the LAN
[04:29] <havoc> except it's behaving strangely
[04:32] <sdolnack> i feel like how's that Cube game?
[04:33] <bigachattack> Hobbsee:  which rss-glx screensavers can you use under KDE,  I do not get them all listed?
[04:34] <Hobbsee> bigachattack: er, all of them, i think...
[04:38] <bigachattack> does anyone use the rss-glx package?
[04:39] <sdolnack> what are soem of the best games for linux?
[04:41] <havoc> yay, adept crashed and left apt locked
[04:41] <havoc> wonderful
[04:41] <dark_light> sdolnack: well, enemy territory? the mana world?
[04:41] <Healot> define "best games"...
[04:41] <Kadran> sdolnack: search for loki games
[04:42] <balld> (rolls eyes) about time you're back Healot
[04:42] <balld> j/k
[04:42] <balld> :)
[04:42] <tuxcicles> the scorched earth games kinda cool
[04:42] <balld> I can't seem to past to pastebin.com
[04:42] <dark_light> i like tux racer and armagetron.. hahahah
[04:42] <apotekDK> how do you get that?
[04:43] <Healot> balld: it seems down...
[04:43] <Kadran> sdolnack: you can also see www.transgaming.com
[04:43] <tuxcicles> scorched earth?  I think they call it scorched3d
[04:43] <balld> Any other way I can post you my /etc/apt/sources.list?
[04:44] <balld> Also, can you tell me how to "register" I tried to send my list to you that way, but it said I had to register or something...
[04:44] <Healot> balld: mmkay private me, paste lines without comments only
[04:44] <Healot> ergister?
[04:45] <balld> yep, said I had to register...I'll try again
[04:45] <Healot> for pastebin?
[04:45] <Kadran> balld: /msg nickserv register <your-password>
[04:45] <GullyFoyle> how do i get dapper to recognizr my soundcard? everything worked fine and then i "upgraded" to dapper.
[04:45] <balld> no, for private message on here(sorry for not clarifying
[04:46] <Healot> oh for this IRC service
[04:46] <Kadran> balld: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering
[04:47] <GullyFoyle> oh, also i used to dual boot winxp, but since i "upgraded" windows doesn't show up in the grub menu
[04:47] <Kadran> GullyFoyle: try 'update-grub'
[04:47] <tuxcicles> i think im staying with breezy until i find a reason to move up
[04:48] <Kadran> tuxcicles: dapper kde353 is faster
[04:48] <tuxcicles> ive got kde352 in breezy, next
[04:49] <apotekDK> anyone has link for a good source.list?
[04:49] <GullyFoyle> hrm, also since i "upgraded", i'm given a grub menu of several kernels, but the latest doesn't work. 2.6.10 works, and 2.6.9 works, but the others dont
[04:50] <Kadran> apotekDK: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering
[04:50] <GullyFoyle> i am truly sorry that i "upgraded" to dapper
[04:50] <Kadran> apotekDK: sorry http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[04:50] <apotekDK> thanks!
[04:50] <Kadran> apotekDK: i have mixed up :)
[04:50] <Kadran> np
[04:53] <GullyFoyle> i've been using various linux distros since 1999 and i thought kubuntu was the bomb until i "upgraded" to dapper. now it's shot and i'm considering alternatives like mepis and kanotix.
[04:53] <tuxcicles> i couldn't get fglrx or ati proprietary drivers to work when I went to dapper, because of a bug in the new drivers, probably because my mobo asus has nvidiae chipset, but the old one in breezy works
[04:54] <Kadran> GullyFoyle: I LOVE DAPPER
[04:54] <apotekDK> im drunk..
[04:54] <Healot> I love Panda
[04:54] <Kadran> i am Kadran, pleased to meet you
[04:55] <tuxcicles> Healot, isn't that against the law?
[04:55] <apotekDK> i dont get that gpg thing
[04:55] <Kadran> apotekDK: what about gpg
[04:56] <tuxcicles> linux distros sure have stupid names
[04:56] <apotekDK> hmm im trying.. 2sec
[04:56] <tuxcicles> you mean pgp
[04:56] <Healot> what law, tuxcicles?
[04:56] <GullyFoyle> breezy worked quite well and i was so psyched that i did the "upgrade" to dapper and now there are so many problems i wish there were an easy way to downgrade to breezy
[04:57] <tuxcicles> beastiality, aw never mind
[04:57] <michelleindeed> tuxcicles: i got it ;)
[04:58] <GullyFoyle> if i could go back a coupla days and tell myself not to dist-uopgrade i would
[04:59] <RawSewage> tj9991, did you have any problem getting mp3 working.  You need to install libxine-extracodecs
[04:59] <tuxcicles> GullyFoyle: i feel your pain, i hope they get some solutions or workarounds
[04:59] <GullyFoyle> i thought they took extra time to make dapper work but i was sorely wrong
[04:59] <GullyFoyle> the upgrade is busted
[05:00] <RawSewage> why
[05:00] <tuxcicles> i hope it's beta still, sure runs like beta-alpha
[05:00] <maltron> gullyfoyle, I've heard that "upgrading" is usually not as good as installing from scratch
[05:00] <apotekDK> :)
[05:00] <maltron> maybe you could try nuking your system and starting again?
[05:01] <RawSewage> what problem are you having
[05:01] <apotekDK> Nn... im off !
[05:01] <Healot> unless you know what you're doing
[05:01] <GullyFoyle> i don't have sound? very simple on most distros, busted when i upgraded to dapper.
[05:01] <michelleindeed> My boyfriend fixed my sound pretty easily when i upgraded.
[05:01] <RawSewage> what kind of sound
[05:02] <tuxcicles> i don't have gl!!! was fine before dapper.
[05:02] <tj9991> Qill your nickname gets more and more dumb every time I see it
[05:02] <ashridah> hm. don't suppose there's a repo someplace i can track to get bleeding edge kernels, is there? i kinda need a recent 2.6.17-rcblah release to stop one of my network cards from locking up under load
[05:02] <GullyFoyle> and i'm usually a linux fiend/fanboy. dapper has left a bad taste in my mouth. i'm gonna have to install from scratch,back up everything, etc...
[05:02] <neoncode> How do I change the defualt sound device. I have onboard sound and a soundcard. Somehow it has set the onboard sound as defualt...
[05:03] <michelleindeed> my wave input was just muted by default, which was my sound didn't work
[05:03] <michelleindeed> i think
[05:03] <Kadran> GullyFoyle: that is too painfull :(
[05:03] <maltron> can anyone tell me why synaptic sometimes just won't run?
[05:04] <tuxcicles> neoncode: it is probably on dsp1 and your onboard is taking up dsp or dsp0, it can be changed in grub.
[05:04] <GullyFoyle> you're lucky it has any sound at all, i've tried onboard and a soundcard and it can't seem to recognize either one. I had grat sound under breezy.
[05:04] <michelleindeed> my fiancee is a gentoo guy. he can fix anything.
[05:05] <Healot> I can fix anything that have not been fixed :)
[05:05] <michelleindeed> heh
[05:05] <neoncode> I know it can be done. I just recently wiped my settings on pourpose for a fresh start and I carn't rember how I did this before..
[05:05] <tuxcicles> i have onboard sound and usb headphones, and the headphones goto dsp1.  the only things i can find that play on dsp1 is mmx and mplayer.
[05:06] <Kadran> michelleindeed: did you gave him tux in the valantine?
[05:06] <scarn> are they ever going to fix the UTC clock thing in k/ubuntu?
[05:06] <RawSewage> what UTC clock thing
[05:06] <GullyFoyle> lspci -v shows my soundcard but /dev/audio has : no device found
[05:06] <GullyFoyle> wtf?
[05:07] <RawSewage> should I install an anti-virus program on Kubuntu
[05:07] <GullyFoyle> i still have my breezy cd, maybe i'll reinstall
[05:07] <scarn> where it sets your clock 5 hours ahead in other OS' when dual booting. its the only distro i know that causes this
[05:08] <bdmp> My mac address is all 00000's help.
[05:08] <tuxcicles> RawSewage: why?
[05:08] <RawSewage> I dont know.  Can viruses attack Linux
[05:08] <tuxcicles> No, not any I know about
[05:08] <maltron> gullyfoyle i seem to remember that problem in debian sarge.  I can't remember how to fix it but given that sarge is now a year or so old maybe there's a fix known to the debian community
[05:08] <RawSewage> how long have you been using Linux
[05:08] <scarn> no need for av. unless you use alot of windows files in linux
[05:08] <maltron> just a guess though
[05:09] <RawSewage> ok, let me get this straight...  Linux doesnt need any anti-virus programs, yet Windows is still the OS of choice, correct
[05:09] <tuxcicles> me?, about 2o years, yea, thats it, 30 years
[05:09] <scarn> lol
[05:09] <_ryan> http://pastebin.ca/64062
[05:10] <_ryan> Having some SSH port forwarding troubles.
[05:10] <tuxcicles> windows is not known for it's security
[05:10] <_ryan> can anyone help?
[05:10] <GullyFoyle> i'm gonna go talk to some mepis people and see what's goin on. 7 years of linux i can't give up cuz dapper reamed my installation. I had mand/rake/riva for a while bit the debian way is better. mebbe another debian-based distro has more goin on.
[05:10] <tuxcicles> thats why you need all the anti this and anti that.
[05:10] <RawSewage> Is the only reason viruses dont attack Linux because most people use Windows
[05:11] <RawSewage> so they write viruses for Windows and not Linux
[05:11] <maltron> not the only reason rawsewage
[05:11] <michelleindeed> RawSewage: windows has all the viruses because it is the OS of choice
[05:11] <maltron> but a reason
[05:11] <RawSewage> but if everyone started using Linux, would they be able to write viruses for Linux
[05:11] <Kadran> RawSewage: if one day a virus that could be more intelegent to hack your mind and get the root password to attak *nix i think microsoft will be history then
[05:11] <michelleindeed> d'oh. didn't hit send after i typed.
[05:11] <maltron> windows also has had a poor security model
[05:11] <Hobbsee> RawSewage: not really.  you cant run an executable by double clicking on it
[05:11] <neoncode> w00t, Bon Echo
[05:12] <Hobbsee> and most people wont run a random shell script as root
[05:12] <RawSewage> yes you can
[05:12] <RawSewage> with Wine
[05:12] <_ryan> hehe
[05:12] <Hobbsee> well, yeah, with wine...
[05:12] <RawSewage> everyone uses Wine
[05:12] <_ryan> a virus could sniff your kbd
[05:12] <Hobbsee> most people dont run wine as root either, do they?
[05:12] <_ryan> for your account
[05:12] <michelleindeed> i don't use wine, either.
[05:12] <_ryan> then catch it when you enter your root pwd
[05:13] <tuxcicles> keylogger=spyware
[05:13] <_ryan> yes
[05:13] <tuxcicles> usually associated with active x
[05:14] <_ryan> but it can grab the root pwd
[05:14] <_ryan> and even a user account can open network connecctions
[05:14] <bdmp> No one has any idea why my mac address would be 00:00:00:00:00:00 after a dapper upgrade?
[05:14] <Lunar_Raven> does anyone have any experience getting compiz working on kubuntu, or can direct me to a good howto?
[05:14] <Lunar_Raven> :P
[05:14] <Hobbsee> there's not a lot you can do to prevent user decisions, unfortunately.
[05:14] <Hobbsee> !xgl
[05:14] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:14] <_ryan> oh
[05:14] <Lunar_Raven> lol
[05:15] <neoncode> hi Hobbsee
[05:15] <Hobbsee> hey neoncode
[05:15] <tuxcicles> _ryan: maybe in windows
[05:15] <maltron> anyone know what this means:
[05:15] <maltron> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
[05:15] <maltron>   Major opcode:  145
[05:15] <maltron>   Minor opcode:  3
[05:15] <maltron>   Resource id:  0x0
[05:15] <maltron> Failed to open device
[05:15] <maltron> it happens when I start gvim
[05:16] <_ryan> does kubuntu have a source that contains illegal in the US SW, like libdvdcss, and the propriatary windows codecs for mplayer, al-la PLF?
[05:16] <michelleindeed> maltron: it means something didn't work correctly.
[05:16] <maltron> thanks michelle, but what?
[05:16] <michelleindeed> beats me.
[05:16] <maltron> um, right.
[05:17] <tuxcicles> _ryan: yes
[05:17] <_ryan> tuxcicles: can you point me in the right direction?
[05:17] <Hobbsee> !tell _ryan about restricted
[05:18] <tuxcicles> i think you can find info at wiki.kubuntu.org, and check this out for sources http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[05:19] <michelleindeed> IvanTheVikin1: hello
[05:19] <_ryan> Hobbsee: Thank you
[05:19] <IvanTheVikin1> Giah brb.
[05:22] <Lunar_Raven> ok i've almost figured out XGL on kubuntu, but i dont quite understand this step
[05:22] <Lunar_Raven> UPDATE - you will need to select the default session in kdm to make it obey your .Xsession
[05:22] <Lunar_Raven> anyone know what that means?
[05:22] <neoncode> Where does the repo version of firefox install to?
[05:22] <Lunar_Raven>  /usr/bin
[05:22] <Lunar_Raven> is where firefox goes
[05:23] <Lunar_Raven> atleast the executable
[05:23] <maltron> lunar: i guess it means that when you get the kdm login screen, go to select session and choose "default" - that's my best guess
[05:23] <neoncode> Lunar_Raven: the syslink the the executible rather? Where do the acutal files go?
[05:23] <maltron> neoncode, type "whereis firefox" or "which firefox"
[05:25] <Lunar_Raven> well, a search may be more helpful
[05:25] <Lunar_Raven> the libs are here /usr/lib/firefox/
[05:25] <michelleindeed> TheViking: hello
[05:25] <Lunar_Raven> brb
[05:26] <TheViking> hello michelle

[05:27] <_ryan> an anyone help me with my ssh troubles?
[05:27] <_ryan> it is refusing to bind a port when even when I'm root
[05:28] <Ranma2264> Hi to all
[05:29] <Ranma2264> Does anyone knows if there is a way to see unmounted cdrom icon on kde desktop using hal backend??
[05:30] <Healot> pumount >> Ranma2264
[05:30] <Healot> oh... you can just add the device icon...
[05:32] <Ranma2264> yes i know the thing is that is checked to show unmounted cdrom or dvd in desktop behavior
[05:32] <Ranma2264> but it does not work
[05:32] <Healot> define "does not work"
[05:33] <Ranma2264> the icons does not show in desktop
[05:33] <Hobbsee> hehe - i could have sworn i said that earlie r:P
[05:33] <Healot> Ranma2264: thus, add a Device icon on the desktop
[05:34] <Healot> I don't know why KDE in ubuntu doesn't do that automatically (adding the device icon) like REdhat/Fedora does
[05:34] <Healot> but, you can add the Device icon manually... though
[05:35] <Ranma2264> yes i know but the device is only showed when u mount it
[05:35] <Healot> argh...
[05:37] <chavo> Ranma2264, is there a disk in the drive?
[05:37] <chavo> it will only show icon when there's a disk
[05:38] <chavo> and then it mounts it when you click on it
[05:38] <Ranma2264> Yes i know im wondering if there is a way to show the unmounted device icon
[05:39] <chavo> Ranma2264, it works for me
[05:39] <Ranma2264> damn
[05:40] <Healot> just add the Device icon, so you can mount/umount it and it shows the mount status...
[05:40] <chavo> he probably doesn't want the icon all the time though
[05:41] <Healot> well, that is handled by HAL...
[05:41] <Healot> so like it or not, either see the icons all the time, or see it when it's mounted
[05:42] <l33t_n00b> Hi, does anyone know how to change the time from military into normal US time
[05:42] <chavo> Healot, I don't get an icon until I put a disk in
[05:42] <Healot> yes
[05:42] <Healot> I know that
[05:42] <chavo> it's still not mounted though
[05:42] <Healot> but if you like to manage it manually, you can add the Device icon of that partition/drive
[05:42] <chavo> true
[05:43] <Healot> by default the icon only available when you mount that volume...
[05:43] <Healot> and it disappear after the volume is umounted
[05:44] <edgardito> I need help !!
[05:44] <chavo> well I get the dialog asking what I want to do when I put the disk in
[05:44] <Healot> of course
[05:44] <l33t_n00b>  Hi, does anyone know how to change the time from military into normal US time
[05:44] <Hobbsee> !+ask
[05:44] <ubotu> For information on how to ask good questions please see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html The more information you can give the better we can help you. If your going to give output of commands please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:45] <Healot> by clicking the device icon of unmounted volume, the default action is trying to mount the volume
[05:45] <chavo> l33t_n00b, right click the clock and select Date and Time Format
[05:46] <Healot> elite noob :)
[05:46] <l33t_n00b> Healot: thanks for getting that :)
[05:46] <DaSkreech> Hello all
[05:46] <l33t_n00b> chavo: what next?
[05:46] <chavo> go to Time and Dates tab
[05:47] <chavo> then change the Time format -> here's mine pH:MM AM PM
[05:47] <chavo> pH is what gives you the 12 hour format
[05:47] <Ranma2264> thanks to all for the help brb!
[05:47] <Healot> btw way, just select the time formate which displays the AM/PM
[05:47] <Healot> heh
[05:47] <chavo> this is changing your Locale setting so you have to restart kicker for it to take effect
[05:49] <chavo> to resart kicker do this -> dcop kicker kicer restart
[05:49] <chavo> man I can't type
[05:49] <chavo> dcop kicker kicker restart
[05:49] <Healot> kicker
[05:49] <l33t_n00b> ok thanks chavo and Healot
[05:49] <michelleindeed> heh
[05:49] <l33t_n00b> it worked
[05:50] <l33t_n00b> sorry i am new to linux
[05:50] <chavo> that's why were here
[05:50] <DaSkreech> :-)
[05:50] <DaSkreech> Aint dat D truth?
[05:51] <l33t_n00b> i'm excited for KDE 4
[05:51] <l33t_n00b> i can't wait for some eye candy
[05:51] <chavo> well it's going to be awhile for that
[05:51] <mitja> It says "/etc/sudoers mode is 0777, should be 0440" How do I fix this?
[05:52] <Healot> free community support :)
[05:52] <l33t_n00b> chavo: i heard it will be released some time in october 1006
[05:52] <l33t_n00b> 2006
[05:52] <chavo> mitja, sudo chmod /etc/sudoers 0440
[05:52] <DaSkreech> l33t_n00b: Relax just don't hold your breath :)
[05:52] <DaSkreech> 1006!!
[05:52] <Healot> btw for files just the 3 octal needed
[05:52] <chavo> mitja, then find out why your sudoers is 0777
[05:52] <mitja> chavo: thanks
[05:53] <l33t_n00b> well im happy at least that the kubuntu community is very helpful
[05:53] <l33t_n00b> i came from redhat
[05:53] <l33t_n00b> they're all grumpy
[05:54] <DaSkreech> :)
[05:54] <chavo> I don't think we'll see anything from kde4 until 2007
[05:54] <unix_infidel> anyone here having problems with kubuntu and ncurses based interfaces with aterm?
[05:54] <chavo> by then 3.x will be a very stable system
[05:55] <mitja> chavo: I also have setgid: Operation not permitted. I can't do anything involving sudo unless I reboot into maintenance mode again. Can I solve this without rebooting?
[05:55] <DaSkreech> chavo: There is a alpha this year
[05:55] <l33t_n00b> chavo: so if KDE 4 comes out next year, its better to wait until the bugs are fixed first before you do dist-upgrade
[05:55] <chavo> mitja, why is your sudoers file modified?
[05:55] <mitja> chavo: I don't know
[05:55] <chavo> l33t_n00b, I like to stay on the cutting edge anyway
[05:56] <chavo> mitja, can you read it?
[05:56] <l33t_n00b> ok i wonder what kubuntu 6.10 will include
[05:57] <mitja> chavo: yes, but that would require to quit irssi, cause I have only one tty
[05:57] <chavo> l33t_n00b, the basics of KDE4 will be there, so people can get a head start on porting apps ,etc
[05:57] <DaSkreech> chavo: That's done already :)
[05:57] <DaSkreech> Porting Au commence!
[05:58] <chavo> DaSkreech, I mean the kdelibs, etc will be apt-gettable
[05:58] <l33t_n00b> ok cool thanks
[05:58] <Hobbsee> l33t_n00b: kde3.5.4, maybe some tests of kde4, a few other interesting things...
[05:58] <DaSkreech> chavo: I think you may be able to svn them now
[05:58] <DaSkreech> so that means that they are deb build away from apt-get
[05:58] <chavo> DaSkreech, yes you can
[05:58] <DaSkreech> :-D
[05:59] <chavo> I wonder why mitja's sudoers has been tampered with
[06:00] <maltron> why does my mouse wheel change windows when i'm on the title bar of a window?  It's supposed to shade them but instead it starts cycling through windows.  This ins't supposed to happen and there's no mention of it in the kde preferences!
[06:00] <maltron> anyone else found this?
[06:00] <l33t_n00b> i think the people are hesitating on migrating to linux is the lack of multimedia...i know it took me a while to find the info online and actually learning CLI
[06:00] <chavo> maltron, it depends on the window decoration, some of them don't respect your settings
[06:00] <maltron> ah, thanks chavo
[06:00] <maltron> i'll try changing it
[06:00] <DaSkreech> l33t_n00b: Thats the point of freespire I think
[06:01] <Healot> Common Language Infrastructure?
[06:01] <chavo> older windecos made before that preference was put in mostly
[06:01] <l33t_n00b> command line interface
[06:01] <havoc> ack, no make?
[06:01] <DaSkreech> Healot: Command Line interface
[06:02] <maltron> chovo, thanks - that fixed it
[06:02] <l33t_n00b> isn't MEPIS including all these codecs DaSkreech
[06:02] <DaSkreech> Not sure
[06:02] <Healot> I know, I love CLI so much, there is only one abbrevation for it
[06:03] <maltron> i think some of the prepackaged linuxes, like novell desktop and so on, have the codecs installed - but you're paying for them and they're not redistributable like ubuntu, debian, opensuse etc
[06:04] <maltron> i guess freespire is different because you don't pay for it, but it would also, presumably, not be redistributable if you include those extra codecs and things
[06:04] <l33t_n00b> malton: is that because of the DMCA laws
[06:04] <maltron> no, I think it's just licencing
[06:04] <Desh> If I install gnome or Xfce, etc, will it mess up my default programs or add extra programs? I just want gnome to use the apps I have..
[06:04] <maltron> simply because some proprietary drivers and codecs have licenses that stipulate that you can download them for free but you can't redistribute them
[06:05] <l33t_n00b> so basically having a repository is considered redistributing
[06:05] <lnxKDE> someone knows what skype phone is compatible with linux?
[06:06] <maltron> desh, I installed kubuntu desktop and xubuntu desktop and now whichever desktop i'm in, pretty much all the apps arevisible
[06:06] <maltron> so i guess the answer is "yes", it will
[06:06] <DaSkreech> Desh: I think you can but don't install gome-desktop
[06:06] <Desh> Ok, good. Thanks.
[06:07] <maltron> l33t: i think the answer is yes, but I'm not 100%
[06:09] <l33t_n00b> i know that there is easyubuntu to take care of these issues, but it does not make sense to me why running a script is different from say running the command to download it from the repository
[06:09] <Steven_M> hi all
[06:09] <Hobbsee> l33t_n00b: because it's annoying and painful, pretty much
[06:09] <DaSkreech> l33t_n00b: I think it's because the user started it
[06:09] <Steven_M> How do you uninstall flash-nonfree
[06:10] <DaSkreech> It's like they went to the web site and got it themselves
[06:10] <l33t_n00b> DaSKreech: i see
[06:10] <Healot> apt-get remove <> or use adept to find that package list...
[06:11] <DaSkreech> but "we" didn't hand it over to them without them knowing about it
[06:11] <neoncode> where are sound settings stored?
[06:11] <maltron> l33t: partly I think it's because the script may not be 100% legal, as well as whet the others said
[06:11] <maltron> ;-)
[06:12] <maltron> well, not so much the script, as what it gets
[06:12] <maltron> depends where you live though
[06:12] <l33t_n00b> maltron: yeah and I heard that playing a encryped DVD is illegal also in the US
[06:12] <Healot> in Mexico too :)
[06:13] <DaSkreech> haha :)
[06:13] <maltron> l33t_n00b: i think so, yeah.  I think that's the DMCA bit you mentioned at work
[06:13] <l33t_n00b> ha
[06:13] <Healot> l33t_n00b: playing encrypted DVD is legal
[06:14] <DaSkreech> as long as you buy a player codec
[06:14] <l33t_n00b> Healot: you sure?
[06:14] <Healot> decrypting the DVD content is illegal, however
[06:15] <neoncode> is libdvdcss legal in the UK?
[06:15] <Healot> DVD content is encrypted so people can only watch it a timed-release on designated areas
[06:15] <Healot> damn Hollywood!
[06:15] <bdmp> Dapper upgrade causes Tvtuner to not work. Read all about it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1123435#post1123435
[06:15] <maltron> healot: that's not hte encryption, that's the region encoding.  The encryption is for copy protection.  At least I think it is!
[06:15] <Healot> yes... both comes together
[06:15] <l33t_n00b> but to play encrypted DVD's you have to install libdvdcss which is illegal
[06:16] <chavo> bdmp, TV rots your brain :)
[06:16] <bdmp> not when you are watching it for study
[06:16] <bdmp> Japanese :)
[06:16] <Healot> encryption with the regional encoding... CSS is weak btw...
[06:16] <chavo> -)
[06:17] <l33t_n00b> ok
[06:18] <Healot> for personal use, I guess it's neither legal or illegal, it's considered fair use
[06:18] <Healot> for commercial, if you make even a penny with it, it is illegal
[06:18] <l33t_n00b> yeah i figured that...thanks Healot
[06:18] <maltron> healot: not in the US, I don't think.  The dmca says that you're not even allowed to break a drm, even if you don't end up using that knowledge to watch the media
[06:19] <maltron> i.e. just trying to crack it is illegal
[06:19] <Healot> but don't involve me if DMCA come to your house :)
[06:19] <maltron> helping someone else crack it is illegal
[06:19] <maltron> and distributing knowledge of how to crack it is illegal
[06:19] <l33t_n00b> but then you can't watch the DVDs
[06:19] <maltron> ridiculous really, but that's the dmca for you
[06:20] <l33t_n00b> this is really irritating
[06:20] <maltron> yes, yes it is!
[06:21] <l33t_n00b> so this is really why linux is crippled in multimedia support
[06:21] <DaSkreech> maltron: Actually formulating a plan to organize a discussion on how to analyze the encryption to see if it's crackable is illeagal
[06:21] <DaSkreech> And can get you 50 years in prison
[06:21] <DaSkreech> in the US
[06:21] <DaSkreech> Yup
[06:21] <maltron> dskreech - you are joking, right?
[06:21] <DaSkreech> maltron: I wish I was
[06:22] <l33t_n00b> ha everything you do is illegal now
[06:22] <maltron> so much for the 1st amendment
[06:22] <Healot> goto Canada :)
[06:22] <DaSkreech> Or fair use
[06:22] <maltron> well I'm in australia, but we did sign a free trade agreement...
[06:22] <DaSkreech> Healot: Canada has a similar law in the courts
[06:22] <l33t_n00b> yeah i heard that in Canada file sharing is legit
[06:22] <Healot> i mean if you wanna smoke pot legally
[06:23] <maltron> hey are we off topic yet?
[06:23] <l33t_n00b> pretty close
[06:23] <DaSkreech> Yup
[06:23] <DaSkreech> Waaaaaay off base
[06:23] <maltron> lol
[06:24] <DaSkreech> So about that digikam
[06:24] <DaSkreech> Why isn't it inthe default install?
[06:24] <Healot> popularity-contest i guess
[06:24] <maltron> anyone know why I can't type a c with a cedilla using the us_intl keymap?
[06:24] <maltron> and why synaptic sometimes just refuses to run?
[06:24] <Healot> hey does "ubuntu run popularity contest like Debian does?
[06:24] <DaSkreech> Healot: I forgot about that
[06:25] <DaSkreech> Healot: Yeah
[06:26] <neoncode> how do i change the audio device from 0 to 1(or something?)
[06:26] <_ryan> How do i disable apt's GPG check?
[06:27] <Hobbsee> !b-e
[06:27] <ubotu> or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, or get "make: command not found, then you need to do a    sudo apt-get install build-essential.
[06:27] <kkathman> evenin Hobbsee ::)
[06:27] <kkathman> hehe
[06:27] <Hobbsee> hey kkathman
[06:27] <DaSkreech> HobNob! :)
[06:27] <maltron> hmm, looks like I'm back to dselect
[06:28] <_ryan> or add a key to apt
[06:28] <neoncode> DaSkreech:  HobNob?
[06:28] <DaSkreech> neoncode: It's a biscuit :)
[06:28] <neoncode> yay for HobNob!
[06:29] <DaSkreech> It's ferpect!
[06:29] <kkathman> lol
[06:29] <kkathman> I think everyone loves the hobbster
[06:29] <kkathman> but she doesnt respect us :(
[06:30] <kkathman> DaSkreech: but thats ok right?
[06:30] <DaSkreech> Yeah .. what a ban button does to people :(
[06:30] <Hobbsee> hmm?
[06:30] <Hobbsee> why dont i respect you guys?  what gives you that idea?
[06:30] <kkathman> DaSkreech:  yah.. absolute power corrupts absolutely so they say :)
[06:30] <maltron> why doesn't gcc apear to be there, despite the fact that the packages are installed
[06:30] <DaSkreech> maltron: Whats the error?
[06:30] <tuxcicles> neoncode: somthing to do with grubs menu.lst and device = /dev/dsp1, i think, at least in breezy
[06:31] <maltron> daskreech: bash: gcc: command not found
[06:31] <neoncode> kkathman: probobly not a good idea to the persion with said ban button courrupt then eh?
[06:31] <maltron> whereis returns  gcc: /usr/lib/gcc
[06:31] <maltron> but there's no executable
[06:31] <DaSkreech> ah
[06:31] <kkathman> neoncode:  ahh yeah... yer probably right...best to keep quiet and not say nothing
[06:31] <DaSkreech> did you install b-e?
[06:32] <kkathman> neoncode:  oh yeah thats what Ive been doin :)
[06:32] <kkathman> hehe
[06:32] <DaSkreech> Ah Leave Hobbsee alone :) She's a goodun
[06:32] <kkathman> well.. what I was told do do, more like it :)
[06:32] <chavo> maltron, just gcc libs are installed by default
[06:32] <maltron> hmm, no
[06:32] <maltron> ok
[06:32] <maltron> i've got the base packages though
[06:32] <Hobbsee> hehe
[06:32] <maltron> I guess I assumed that would include the compiler too
[06:32] <chavo> maltron, like Hobbsee said, install build-essential
[06:32] <DaSkreech> Hey Hobbsee if I wrote the dictator on an idea of mine do you think that he'd write back?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: huh?
[06:33] <DaSkreech> ubotu: tell maltron about b-e
[06:33] <maltron> hmm, can't install build-essential either - is that a packages?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: the dictator being sabdfl, or another one?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> !info build-essential dapper
[06:33] <ubotu> build-essential: (informational list of build-essential packages), section devel, is optional. Version: 11.1 (dapper), Packaged size: 6 kB, Installed size: 48 kB
[06:33] <DaSkreech> Yeah that dictator. We have another one?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> maltron: yes it is
[06:34] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: he might, i dont know...
[06:34] <kkathman> DaSkreech:  im personna non gratta anyway :) hehe
[06:34] <DaSkreech> ok I have two ideas one being the POS :)
[06:34] <DaSkreech> the other is much more ubuntizable
[06:34] <DaSkreech> (copyrights that word)
[06:34] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: what is it?
[06:35] <neoncode> DaSkreech: Why copyright, when you can copyleft?
[06:35] <neoncode> =D
[06:35] <DaSkreech> Umm. Kind of a open source GIS gatherer
[06:35] <neoncode> Gis?
[06:35] <Hobbsee> what's it do?
[06:36] <DaSkreech> Hobbsee: You know GIS?
[06:36] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: no
[06:36] <maltron> sorted with gcc, thanks guys.
[06:36] <DaSkreech> Hobbsee: Ok let me take it to offtopic
[06:36] <DaSkreech> or you mind a pm?
[06:37] <kkathman> sorry misspelled that... persona non grata
[06:37] <DaSkreech> :-)
[06:37] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: OT's good, if neoncode wants to hear as well
[06:37] <neoncode> that i do
[06:43] <dersteer|linux> anyone care to recommend the best way to convert from mandriva to kubuntu.  I'm wondering if I could just rename my /home folder then copy the stuff back over to my user account after the install.. is there anything I'm going to have to watch for?
[06:43] <dersteer|linux> I plan to just format the / partition but leave the /home
[06:43] <dersteer|linux> will this method work?
[06:43] <chavo> dersteer|linux, yes it should work fine
[06:44] <tuxcicles> dersteer|linux: thats what i do
[06:44] <chavo> dersteer|linux, I came from Mandrake to ubuntu and did that, I've had the same /home for years
[06:44] <dersteer|linux> chavo: did you actually rename the /home/username to start with?
[06:44] <dersteer|linux> should I worry about the mandriva settings messing up ubuntu?
[06:44] <chavo> dersteer|linux, I gzipped up my /etc also
[06:45] <tuxcicles> dersteer|linux: you might want to delete your .files and .directories though, they will probably cause problems
[06:45] <chavo> dersteer|linux, no but I didn't make myself the first user to make sure the uid and gid matched
[06:46] <dersteer|linux> I've been pretty impressed so far.. just as easy as mandriva
[06:46] <dersteer|linux> :)
[06:46] <tuxcicles> dersteer|linux: you can always chown your home files if they need new permissions
[06:47] <dersteer|linux> chown -R /home/username  ???
[06:47] <Mitja> Anyone has any clue how to fix "setgid: Operation not permitted" problem?
[06:47] <tuxcicles> chown -hR i think
[06:48] <dersteer|linux> Mitja: did you do it as root?
[06:48] <dersteer|linux> sudo command
[06:49] <Mitja> I get "sudo: must be setuid root" when I try just using sudo
[06:49] <Mitja> Can't sudo at all
[06:49] <Mitja> unless I'm in maintenance mode
[06:51] <tuxcicles> wow, cant say ive seen that one before
[06:53] <tuxcicles> dersteer|linux: chown -hR user directory/
[06:53] <dersteer|linux> thanks tuxcicles:)
[06:54] <dersteer|linux> kinda scared to do it... getting nerve up :p
[06:55] <tuxcicles> dersteer|linux: try it , you will like it
[06:55] <dersteer|linux> I've been sitting here running thru my head every single thing I use.. trying them out on this junk hard drive
[06:59] <neoncode> Does anyone know what file the sound settings are in?
[06:59] <Hobart> Any idea why xfonts-konsole package is in Hoary but not Dapper?
[07:00] <DaSkreech> kmix?
[07:00] <crimsun_> Hobart: (probably because its files were subsumed into a standard package, but don't quote me on that)
[07:03] <tuxcicles> neoncode: type 'alsa' in konqueror, lots of places
[07:04] <neoncode> tuxcicles: Thanks
[07:09] <tuxcicles> neoncode: a list of modules are in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[07:13] <crimsun_> neoncode: what do you need wrt "sound settings"?
[07:17] <neoncode> crimsun_: huh?
[07:18] <crimsun_> neoncode: what are you asking about for "sound settings"?
[07:18] <tuxcicles> neoncode try 'lspci | grep audio
[07:18] <farous> anyone know what my choke my network in kubuntu. i had ubuntu installed and after installing kubuntu all of a sudden my network is way slower?
[07:19] <neoncode> I get "0000:02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)" Yea, that's my soundcard. but sound isn't working. At all
[07:20] <crimsun_> neoncode: pastebin ``cat /proc/asound/modules && amixer''
[07:20] <tuxcicles> neoncode: do you have an onboard sound controller also?
[07:21] <neoncode> tuxcicles: yea but it's disabled in BIOS
[07:22] <neoncode> http://pastebin.ca/64114 <-- ugly pastebin but the kubuntu one just screamed at me when I opened it.
[07:22] <neoncode> well not litraly my sound isn't working rember...
[07:23] <tuxcicles> well, sometimes linux kernel doesn't care about bios settings because it runs everything in software mode, is that the only thing that shows up when you lspci?
[07:23] <crimsun_> neoncode: I presume you're attempting to use the audigy, not the tv card?
[07:23] <neoncode> crimsun_: Yea
[07:23] <neoncode> tuxcicles: yup it is, only thing
[07:24] <crimsun_> neoncode: amixer set 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack' on
[07:25] <neoncode> crimsun_: Ya don't think i've tried that?
[07:25] <neoncode> no luck
[07:25] <crimsun_> neoncode: (I have no idea what you've tried)
[07:25] <neoncode> crimsun_: good point
[07:25] <neoncode> ok...
[07:26] <crimsun_> neoncode: 'Sigmatel Surround Phase Inversion Playback ' needs to be muted
[07:26] <neoncode> crimsun_: No luck...
[07:28] <crimsun_> neoncode: mute '3D Control - Switch' and 'IEC958 Optical Raw'
[07:28] <neoncode> still nothing
[07:29] <crimsun_> pastebin ``lspci -nv''
[07:30] <neoncode> http://pastebin.ca/64119
[07:31] <crimsun_> looks like an Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350]
[07:31] <neoncode> AH!
[07:31] <neoncode> jesus... loud...
[07:32] <crimsun_> neoncode: did it work out of the box?
[07:32] <crimsun_> (it should have)
[07:32] <crimsun_> (meaning it should have been audible when you installed Kubuntu)
[07:32] <neoncode> I think I got it to work... I had the wrong device set from my previous attempts to get it to work. and I carn't rember...oh well it seems to work now...
[07:32] <neoncode> and thank you crimsun_!!!
[07:32] <crimsun_> err...
[07:32] <crimsun_> heh, so it was an ~/.asoundrc* issue?
[07:33] <Rainier> hello
[07:33] <crimsun_> or did you use hw:1 instead of hw:0 accidentally?
[07:34] <neoncode> I have no clue... I was messing in the kcontrol sound thing
[07:34] <Rainier> are you supposed to be able to install gnome in kubuntu without problems?
[07:34] <Rainier> cause im getting a lot of errors using gnome
[07:34] <crimsun_> Rainier: yes, but you need to move ~/.gtkrc-2.0 out of the way.
[07:34] <Rainier> ah thanxs
[07:34] <Rainier> maybe thats it
[07:34] <crimsun_> (then log out and back into GNOME)
[07:34] <neoncode> anyway... i'm praticly about to collapse and it's 6:34 AM and i have to get up at 1PM... g'night people. and thanks crimsun_!!!!!!!!!
[07:34] <Rainier> just rename it i guess?
[07:34] <crimsun_> Rainier: sure, that'll suffice
[07:35] <Rainier> ok thanks a lot
[07:35] <Rainier> bye
[07:35] <[LiFE] > I am new to ubuntu, and this is my first try
[07:35] <[LiFE] > actually, this is my first try with linux... period.
[07:35] <DaSkreech> Welcome
[07:35] <[LiFE] > thanx, everything seems to work fine except for my screen resolution
[07:36] <Rainier> and one more question
[07:36] <Rainier> theres no problem running kde programs like kaffeine and amarok in gnome?
[07:36] <Healot> no
[07:36] <chavo> I'm working on a soultion to that problem right now , the gtk-qt engine thing
[07:36] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : awe sheat, there is always something, hardware please
[07:36] <[LiFE] > I am using ASUS A8N-VM CSM which uses geforce 6150 with a wide screen tv 1366x768, how do I fix the resolution?
[07:36] <Rainier> ok great
[07:37] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: was just typing it sir
[07:38] <[LiFE] > in the device manager, I don't see any display drivers installed, could that be it?
[07:38] <tuxcicles> wow, sounds like a great mobo
[07:38] <[LiFE] > it's evil tuxcicles, the audio chip doesn't work well with most distros, so far only ubuntu works
[07:40] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles:  any ideas?
[07:40] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : nvidia audio?, bridge?
[07:41] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: my audio works now.. :) my resolution on the screen is 1024x768, I want to set it to 1366x768
[07:42] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : currently I am not using my onboard video nvidia on mine, have you tried manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[07:42] <maltron> life: do you have an lcd monitor?
[07:42] <[LiFE] > maltron: tv
[07:43] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: will I see nvidia video drivers in device manager?
[07:43] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: if I don't see it, does it mean my video drivers are not installed
[07:43] <tuxcicles> no nv in xorg.conf, or nvidia?
[07:44] <vskye> blank /etc/inetd.conf -- ?
[07:44] <[LiFE] > xorg.conf huh? let me check... if I know how
[07:44] <[LiFE] > where would the xorg.conf be?
[07:45] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] :  /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[07:45] <Healot> ooo /etc/X11
[07:46] <[LiFE] > generic video card
[07:47] <[LiFE] > under 'Section "Screen"' it says generic video card, generic monitor
[07:47] <[LiFE] > so I guess I have to install a vid card driver.
[07:47] <vskye> blank /etc/inetd.conf -- ? Wht... anyone
[07:48] <stn> who use kubuntu breezy
[07:48] <rob> *
[07:48] <rob> dapper is the latest though
[07:48] <stn> ok
[07:48] <stn> but i use breezy
[07:49] <rob> can't upgrade?
[07:49] <stn> you know if kde 3.5.3 is for breezy
[07:49] <rob> no, 3.5.2 is in Dapper though
[07:49] <stn> yes but tonigh i cant
[07:49] <stn> i have install kde 3.5.2
[07:50] <stn> but have errors
[07:50] <[LiFE] > weird, if I do a "lspci" it shows VGA Compatible controller: nVidia C51 PCI-E
[07:50] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles:  does that mean I have to install the nvidia drivers?
[07:52] <tuxcicles> i haven't used nvidia proprietary drivers yet, so I wouldn't know howto go about doing it, but look into the wiki howto
[07:52] <[LiFE] > brb... trying
[07:56] <[LiFE] > weeee
[07:57] <DaSkreech> Shut up!
[07:58] <tuxcicles> I am using an old asus mobo, and a newer ati card, that I cant get going in dapper, (drag), but it works great with breezy for some reason.  sucks.
[08:00] <lowtech> wow, usually older boards are 5V and newer cards are 3.3V
[08:00] <unix_infidel> anyone here had any problems with aterm and ncurses stuff with the new dapper release?
[08:00] <[LiFE] > hmm...
[08:00] <[LiFE] > screwed something up
[08:00] <[LiFE] > brb
[08:01] <tuxcicles> not that old :P
[08:01] <lowtech> :)
[08:01] <unix_infidel> i've gotten garbled output from anything to the system ncurses stuff to mc and i still cant google my way through it.
[08:01] <unix_infidel> anyone with some insight?
[08:02] <tuxcicles> is dapper still in test mode?  I hope?
[08:02] <unix_infidel> nope...stable.
[08:02] <tuxcicles> that figures :P
[08:08] <Ranma2264> hi to all (again)
[08:08] <lowtech> and again, heh
[08:08] <Ranma2264> is there any way to disable hal only for cdrom?
[08:08] <Ranma2264> ha
[08:09] <tuxcicles> Ranma2264: hey, hows it hanging?
[08:09] <Ranma2264> im going nutz with this
[08:09] <Ranma2264> really nutz
[08:10] <lowtech> what problem is it creating?
[08:11] <Ranma2264> the only thing i want is to have unmounted cdrom icon on desktop
[08:11] <Healot> add the Device Icon then
[08:11] <Healot> i wish i can kick my head like Wee-man does
[08:11] <tuxcicles> Ranma2264: your cdrom isn't autoloading is it
[08:12] <tuxcicles> you want it to mount automatically?  right?
[08:12] <KuLover> Is there a way to have Konqueror save view modes?
[08:13] <Ranma2264> what i want is the oposite
[08:13] <Ranma2264> i want not to use hal on cdroms
[08:13] <KuLover> Or is there a better file manager?
[08:13] <tuxcicles> KuLover: bookmarks? maybe?
[08:14] <lowtech> KuLover: you mean for file management view, and another for web view?
[08:15] <KuLover> I mean view modes as in Detaild view, list view, icon view..
[08:15] <KuLover> Know what I mean?
[08:15] <Healot> Ranma2264: then you can just uninstall HAL...
[08:15] <tuxcicles> there is a little friggin icon up in there you can click which changes your view, is that what you mean?
[08:16] <Ranma2264> Healot: I know but i do want to use hal on the other media
[08:16] <Ranma2264> Healot: I know i'm insane you can say it ;-)
[08:16] <lowtech> KuLover: i thought once you set a mode it defaulted to that from then on
[08:17] <Healot> Ranma2264: you can assgin yourself not to use HAL
[08:17] <Healot> just open the user manager
[08:17] <KuLover> lowtech, doe sit do that for you? Is doesnt do that for me
[08:17] <Healot> or you can edit the groups/passwd file...
[08:17] <lowtech> why not just create an icon for that device and right click on it to choose mount/umount ?
[08:18] <newuserak> what does it mean if when i plug in a pcmcia wifi card, it says localhost kernel: [4297040.848000]  mrv8k: probe of 0000:07:00.0                failed with error -2?
[08:18] <KuLover> Its really annoying to have to change it every time.
[08:18] <lowtech> KuLover: i don't use kde, just remember it used to work that way. sorry.
[08:18] <newuserak> it knows the driver for my marvell chipset card, but somehow fails
[08:19] <tuxcicles> Ranma2264: type blacklist in konqeror, do you see one for your cdrom?
[08:20] <tuxcicles> maybe under hotplug.blacklist
[08:20] <lowtech> KuLover: maybe try viewing the directory you want it to open to, set the view, then save the view profile under settings?
[08:20] <lowtech> KuLover: just a shot in the dark
[08:20] <KuLover> Il try that lowtech, thanks
[08:20] <Ranma2264> no i dont
[08:21] <tuxcicles> maybe add it to /etc/hotplug/blacklist if it's a module
[08:26] <CaptainMorgan> last I checked, I had the codecs... haven't logged in linux for about a week... but now Amarok is flying through songs... not playing a single one..
[08:27] <CaptainMorgan> any suggestions?
[08:27] <lowtech> KuLover: any luck?
[08:27] <KuLover> lowtech coolness.. works good
[08:27] <lowtech> KuLover: kewl, good to know.
[08:28] <KuLover> the only problem is that it only accepts one default view, not more than one for different folders
[08:28] <KuLover> oh well.
[08:28] <KuLover> DO you knwo of a different file manager?
[08:28] <Healot> try a 3D file manage
[08:28] <lowtech> not really, i use eterm. heh
[08:29] <Healot> tdfsb or something
[08:30] <Healot> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/games/tdfsb
[08:30] <tuxcicles> CaptainMorgan: gstreamer good, bad, mad, glad, dirty, ...
[08:30] <Healot> ugly
[08:30] <CaptainMorgan> what?
[08:31] <DaSkreech> ha ha :)
[08:31] <DaSkreech> CaptainMorgan: What engine are you using in amarok?
[08:31] <CaptainMorgan> 1.3.9 KDE(3.5.2)
[08:32] <DaSkreech> Umm
[08:32] <DaSkreech> Look in the preferences under engine
[08:36] <CaptainMorgan> thanks.. didn't have the libxine-codecs... playing now..
[08:36] <DaSkreech> ok
[08:37] <Healot> libxine-extracodecs some to the rescue yay!
[08:37] <Healot> anyway why the developers decides to separate xine plugins?
[08:37] <crimsun_> licensing and maintenance issues.
[08:38] <Healot> oh
[08:38] <Healot> I nearly compile xine on the first day :)
[08:39] <Healot> but since the wiki enlightened my about extracodecs nah
[08:39] <crimsun_> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-December/013663.html  is the rationale.
[08:41] <themadscotsman> hey this ubuntu is great....it works right out of the box...and me being a newbie it was real easy to configure
[08:41] <Healot> realy, many beginners don't think so
[08:41] <Healot> but maybe they don't read the wiki or ask :)
[08:42] <themadscotsman> you don't ask...you don't learn...and i read the forums so i knew what i had to do to get this running the way i wanted
[08:43] <DaSkreech> Helps to be scottish
[08:43] <DaSkreech> or maybe it was mad
[08:43] <DaSkreech> I forget which
[08:43] <Healot> yeah, maybe you did, but others don't :-
[08:43] <themadscotsman> aye that it does....:)
[08:44] <themadscotsman> the tenacious scotsman...hangs on until he final graps the concepts...;)
[08:45] <Healot> Tenacious...
[08:45] <themadscotsman> or is that just plain being stubborn and hard headed....lol
[08:47] <themadscotsman> well with this Automatix it makes installing software a breeze...as in breezy 5.10....lol
[08:47] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: weird.. I install nvidia, but in xorg.conf it tells me ATi
[08:47] <fatejudger> I can't seem to mount this ext3 drive so that users have permission to write to it
[08:47] <fatejudger> only root seems to be able to do that
[08:47] <fatejudger> any options I have to add to the fstab to make this possible?
[08:48] <themadscotsman> use sudo passwd and creat root
[08:48] <themadscotsman> that should be sudo passwd root
[08:49] <tuxcicles>  [LiFE]  bwahahha, you don't have ati
[08:49] <[LiFE] > I know
[08:49] <[LiFE] > Device		"ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] "
[08:49] <[LiFE] > see
[08:50] <themadscotsman> nVidia rocks...better driver support for linux
[08:50] <tuxcicles> :S
[08:50] <[LiFE] > Driver		"nvidia"
[08:50] <[LiFE] > but the next line
[08:50] <[LiFE] > lol
[08:50] <DaSkreech> themadscotsman: http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/
[08:51] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : try some gl screensaver n see if it works, maybe a reboot is in order
[08:52] <themadscotsman> DaSkreech: nvidia still has better linux driver support and i have using nvidiaa for years
[08:53] <tuxcicles> but the on-board ones, i don't know if linux can pull those through
[08:53] <themadscotsman> i can't see...is that captain braille....lol
[08:53] <DaSkreech> themadscotsman: Thats a test to see how bad the driver support is :) He's using only ati and Linux for 50 days to see what comes of it
[08:53] <captainbraille> lol
[08:54] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: I already rebooted... trying to manually install drivers instead
[08:54] <captainbraille> Daredevil was my second favorite superhero growing up
[08:54] <themadscotsman> well i tried kanotix...and this a lot more user-friendly...easier to set-up
[08:55] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : is it GL'ing like Ma Gellen?
[08:55] <themadscotsman> well DaSkreech good luck to the bloke
[08:56] <DaSkreech> lol
[08:56] <DaSkreech> Thank goodness he was called daredevil and not captainbraille
[08:56] <DaSkreech>  :)
[08:57] <[LiFE] > trying
[08:57] <captainbraille> I removed a few items from my K menu that were in the Wine group, and now when I install anything on my computer it won't show up in my K menu, anyone know how to fix that?
[08:57] <themadscotsman> my favorite superhero growing up was Captain Haggis....lol
[08:59] <themadscotsman> is that dapper worth a try or should i stick with breezy
[09:00] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : good luck with that, Dapper is a somnamabitch, I can't get the ATI proprietary to work with it, breezy works great though
[09:00] <[LiFE] > what do u mean by GL'ing like Ma Gellen
[09:01] <Healot> [LiFE] : what ever that mean
[09:01] <[LiFE] > well, GL Screensaver works
[09:01] <Healot> ya
[09:01] <[LiFE] > Healot: tuxcicles ask me whether my screen saver ins gling like ma gellen, so I have no idea
[09:01] <themadscotsman> wats wrong with dapper???
[09:01] <Healot> when you enabled 3D acceleration for your graphics adapter
[09:02] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : that's a good sign, do you have any special tv out on that mobo?
[09:02] <Healot> [LiFE] : neither do I
[09:02] <[LiFE] > Healot: I have nvidia geforce 6150 onboard video
[09:02] <[LiFE] > Healot: using 6.06 right now, just installed the nvidia drivers
[09:02] <[LiFE] > but in xorg.conf it says ATi
[09:02] <[LiFE] > lol
[09:02] <themadscotsman> well then wat you doing installing ATI video drivers mate
[09:02] <[LiFE] > I didn't, it just tells me I have, but driver 'nvidia'
[09:03] <Healot> [LiFE] : just change that ati driver to "nv" or "nvidia"
[09:03] <tuxcicles> you never heard of gelling like magellen, wtf ever
[09:03] <[LiFE] > lol
[09:03] <themadscotsman> thats a yank thing tuxcicles
[09:03] <tuxcicles> nvidia, probably
[09:05] <[LiFE] > http://pastebin.ca/64140
[09:05] <[LiFE] > look there
[09:05] <[LiFE] > :)
[09:05] <[LiFE] > and no, I didn't do anything funny
[09:06] <themadscotsman> use your favorite text editor and do....sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit video driver to nvidia or nv
[09:06] <[LiFE] > it is nvidia, the description just says ATiu
[09:06] <tuxcicles> ati, bwahahaa, it is just a comment type field, i dunno why it says ati though, pretty funny
[09:06] <themadscotsman> bloody hell...lol
[09:07] <themadscotsman> have you Automatix installed
[09:07] <Healot> [LiFE] : you previously changed graphics adapter?
[09:07] <[LiFE] > and this is from installing the nvidia-glx from the repository
[09:07] <[LiFE] > no, new install, just finished installing ubuntu like 1/2 hr ago
[09:07] <tuxcicles> two major compeditors ati and nvidia, make up your mind :P
[09:08] <themadscotsman> install Automatix 6.1.8....it will install Nvidia drivers for you
[09:08] <[LiFE] > automatix? ehh.. where how what?
[09:09] <[LiFE] > themadscotsman: this is my first time using linux
[09:09] <ruben> hallo
[09:09] <themadscotsman> google Automatix....go to home page...or...www.getautomatix.com

[09:10] <[LiFE] > I also want to install a monitor driver that allows 1366x768@60Hz
[09:10] <themadscotsman> LiFE make sure if you install you use the breezy if you are in breezy and dapper if you are in dapper
[09:10] <[LiFE] > dapper
[09:10] <ruben> this is my 2e day kubuntu
[09:10] <[LiFE] > I just download 6.06 today, so it should be dapper

[09:13] <tuxcicles> is there a nvidia control panel?

[09:25] <ruben> he cant find a station
[09:25] <chavo> mitja, you can't really run it, you can boot it with vmware or qemu
[09:25] <mitja> chavo: what about grub?
[09:25] <[LiFE] > tuxcicles: nvidia drivers are closed source, maybe they playing around
[09:25] <chavo> mitja, ???
[09:25] <[LiFE] > isn't that where the driver description suppose to come from?
[09:26] <chavo> mitja, waht exactly are you trying to do?
[09:26] <[LiFE] > Healot: anything to suggest for my resolution issue?
[09:27] <tuxcicles> [LiFE] : maybe there is a nvidiaconfig file you need to run to rewrite your xorg.conf?  also do you have a nvidia contol panel?
[09:27] <ruben> how i cant easy update kweather now it version 2.1
[09:27] <Healot> [LiFE] : if you monitor support 16:9 or other anamorphic resolution, yes
[09:27] <[LiFE] > don't think so.. :(
[09:27] <Healot> then the monitor can't
[09:28] <[LiFE] > sorry, as in don't think so for nvidiaconfig file
[09:28] <Healot> but, [LiFE] , you know whay, you can do a virtual screen instead
[09:28] <[LiFE] > and yes, my monitor/tv is 16:9
[09:28] <[LiFE] > i can what?
[09:31] <[LiFE] > this is my first day using ubuntu and linux
[09:31] <[LiFE] > what is a virtual screen
[09:31] <tuxcicles> kweather looks big n shitty, plus it's celcius r whatever, any superkaramba weather? in english?
[09:32] <chavo> tuxcicles, liquid weather
[09:33] <[LiFE] > one last question before I go to bed, what is the real difference between x64 and i386? is there any benefits if I run x64?
[09:33] <chavo> you can get it with the get new stuff button
[09:34] <tuxcicles> chavo: i'll checkit
[09:34] <chavo> tuxcicles, I'm using gkrellm for system stats and weather, etc
[09:34] <chavo> I don't really like the idea of widgets
[09:34] <[LiFE] > hmmm
[09:34] <[LiFE] > do I get lesser apts and more problems if I use x64?
[09:34] <sdolnack> LIFE:
[09:34] <sdolnack> what processor do you have
[09:35] <[LiFE] > athlon64 3500+
[09:35] <sdolnack> if you have a 64 bit processor
[09:35] <sdolnack> ok
[09:35] <chavo> [LiFE] , as far as I know there are a few problems with x64 but not a lot
[09:35] <sdolnack> are you talking abotu kernels?
[09:35] <tuxcicles> is there a k gkrellm type thing still in kde, and does it do stuff like weather?
[09:36] <tuxcicles> there used to be one, back in the ol days
[09:36] <[LiFE] > sdolnack: when I downloaded ubuntu, there were 2, i386 and amd64
[09:36] <[LiFE] > I have both
[09:36] <[LiFE] > but I installed i386 assuming there might be more programs for 32bit than 64bit
[09:36] <chavo> tuxcicles, it works in KDE and there's a weather plugin too
[09:36] <[LiFE] > the maing reason why I am using ubuntu is because I wanna use mythtv
[09:37] <[LiFE] > and to learn how to use linux
[09:37] <[LiFE] > :)
[09:37] <chavo> yeah gkrellm is old, I remember using it way back when. even made some themes for it.
[09:38] <tuxcicles> im thinking of kasbar, yea, i think thats it
[09:40] <chavo> oh kasbar yeah you can still get that, right click the panel and add new panel -> kasbar
[09:40] <vinboy> h

[09:41] <ninHer> hi all
[09:42] <[LiFE] > anyways, nite everyone, I will go figure this out tomorrow nite instead...
[09:42] <[LiFE] > thanks everyone
[09:42] <vinboy> chavo: ok thanks
[09:42] <chavo> vinboy, what package is it?
[09:44] <vinboy> chavo: just asking
[09:44] <chavo> ok
[09:45] <joe_> Hello.. I have a question. :)
[09:45] <vinboy> chavo: kubuntu package r abit slow :(
[09:45] <vinboy> chavo: i wan kopete 0.12
[09:46] <chavo> vinboy, there's a kubuntu package for that somewhere
[09:46] <joe_> When I install Xubuntu, Kubuntu or Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper.. I always get a Grub error saying that it cannot locate the partition /dev/hde, which is what it had just previously installed to via the live cd, any thoughts?
[09:47] <chavo> vinboy, hold on I'm looking thru my log to find the package
[09:48] <Healot> done banishing robots?
[09:48] <chavo> vinboy, http://www.ubuntu-zh.org/~freeflying/packages/kopete_0.12.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[09:49] <vinboy> chavo: thanks chavo
[09:49] <vinboy> why don't they put it in the repo?
[09:49] <chavo> vinboy, stability
[09:50] <chavo> only security fixes, iy might make it into backports though
[09:50] <ruben> are there alternatives for kweather, he can't find a station
[09:50] <vinboy> ic
[09:50] <vinboy> hmmmmm
[09:50] <chavo> ruben, superkaramba
[09:50] <vinboy> we should put up a third-party repos for bleeding-edge stuff
[09:51] <chavo> vinboy, there are some
[09:51] <joe_> Is anyone interested in commenting...?
[09:51] <chavo> such as the kde3.5.3, amarok 1.4 and koffice1.5 repos on kubuntu.org
[09:51] <vinboy> yea i have those
[09:53] <eddye> HI ALL! :)
[09:53] <chavo> joe_, no idea sorry
[09:53] <chavo> HI!
[09:53] <Healot> comment on whut?
[09:55] <eddye> can anyone please tell me how do i see what kubuntu am i using?
[09:55] <joe_> Thank you, chavo.
[09:57] <kkathman> hey chavo..wassup?
[09:57] <eddye> root@eddye-desktop:/home/eddye# fgl_glxgears
[09:57] <eddye> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:57] <eddye> Xlib: No protocol specified
[09:57] <eddye> Error: couldn't open display (null)
[09:57] <eddye> anyone knows this problem ? :D
[09:58] <chavo> hi kkathman
[09:59] <kkathman> chavo on some of my websites, I get a message to download the latest Flash Player, but on others I dont. Now, I downloaded the latest from Flash, moved the .so file to overwrite the previous one, but I still get  the message on some pages.  Im using Opera, so I wonder if it picked up the new one.
[09:59] <suppaman> I saw kubuntu dapper release
[09:59] <rigonatti> hi all !
[10:00] <suppaman> it's wonderful!
[10:00] <chavo> kkathman, the latest flash for linux is 7 and a some sites require 8
[10:00] <kkathman> ahh maybe thats it...Im just getting the v7 and its not available yet.
[10:00] <tuxcicles> it's probably refering to shockwave, which doesn't work in linux, unless you do wine
[10:01] <rigonatti> someone If ubuntu or kubuntu writes in NTFS File System ?
[10:01] <Healot> well, windows firefox binaries+WINE+Flash 8 could work
[10:01] <kkathman> seems like I remember thats what I installed..and that was from the Macromedia website
[10:01] <ninHer> besides, kubuntu dapper amd64 needs extra configuration
[10:01] <ninHer> no flash app. from the begining
[10:01] <kkathman> Healot:  I'll just wait till MM releases a v8 plugin
[10:01] <kkathman> its not that critical...more of a curiousity actually
[10:02] <rigonatti> someone If ubuntu or kubuntu write in NTFS File System ?
[10:02] <Healot> they will, but don't expect they release such soon
[10:02] <tuxcicles> flash or shockwave, shockwave doesn't work
[10:02] <Healot> rigonatti: no, readonly NTFS support
[10:02] <Healot> but with 3rd party application+driver, you can write partially safe, rigonatti
[10:02] <ninHer> i didn't say you can not run flash app on kubuntu dapper amd64
[10:03] <Healot> you can, with a few tweaks
[10:03] <rigonatti> Healot: what do you mean with partially safe ?
[10:03] <ninHer> and  gnash
[10:03] <ninHer> to avoid proprietary software
[10:03] <Healot> rigonatti: it might be safe or not, which it may destroy the NTFS security descriptor
[10:04] <chavo> they aren't going to release flash8 for linux
[10:04] <ninHer> off topic: any of you are going to : http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference.es.html
[10:04] <ninHer> i will
[10:04] <chavo> next release is 9 and will be a couple of months behind the windows release
[10:04] <Healot> GPLv3 conference, too geeky :)
[10:04] <ninHer> yep ;-)
[10:05] <Healot> no, too lawful :)
[10:05] <ninHer> i'm a member of FSF
[10:05] <Healot> Law/legal terms that I can't apprehend
[10:05] <ninHer> it is about, mainly, gplv3
[10:06] <Healot> but being in a group makes you less "free" right?
[10:06] <ninHer> mmm, not sure Healot
[10:06] <ninHer> being in a group makes you stronger
[10:06] <Healot> I support FSF, but joining it makes me feel unfree :-
[10:07] <ninHer> why don't you try to work-collaborate with them/us ?
[10:08] <Healot> MY company does professional support for ubuntu here...
[10:08] <ninHer> ok, that's great Healot
[10:08] <Healot> sometimes I personally went to FSF/OSI conferences, if they happen to come by our place
[10:09] <Healot> i went to RMS talk, last year
[10:09] <ninHer> me too; 2 years ago near my home
[10:09] <ninHer> spain
[10:09] <Healot> but no official relationship... just supporting from behind the wall
[10:09] <Healot> i guess...
[10:10] <ninHer> well, anyway is support; lovely
[10:10] <Healot> but you know what, people are interested in FSF/FOSS... they just need more information
[10:10] <RawSewage> how do you train Bogofilter
[10:12] <ninHer> you're right Healot; i am concerned about that issue and my main purpose is translator
[10:12] <ninHer> spreading the word
[10:15] <suppaman> bye
[10:25] <gan|y|med> hallo
[10:32] <martinjh99> Morning.  Anyone have any pointers to changing refresh rates in X?
[10:34] <RawSewage> yes
[10:34] <azathoth> how can i install a different widget style?
[10:35] <RawSewage> I forgot how I did it though
[10:37] <gan|y|med> martinjh99: look into xorg.conf
[10:37] <eddye> When i type fglrxinfo it says that i didn't install the ati driver... but as farr as i know i installed it yesterday
[10:37] <eddye> anyone please help me :)
[10:38] <eddye> eddye@eddye-desktop:~$ fglrxinfo
[10:38] <eddye> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[10:38] <eddye> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[10:38] <eddye> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[10:38] <eddye> OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)
[10:39] <gan|y|med> eddye: did you install ati's package or the kubuntu version?
[10:40] <eddye> kubuntu version
[10:40] <eddye> i think :S
[10:43] <gan|y|med> eddye: try the ati version (installer!). worked for me out of the box. the problem with the debian packages is not the driver, it is some stupid linking probs.
[10:44] <gan|y|med> if you wanna go with the ubuntu version: do lsmod | grep flgrx first to see if the module is loaded. if it is, it's probably the links
[10:45] <eddye> ok
[10:45] <eddye> i'll try
[10:46] <CaptainMorgan> upon clicking, Add/Remove Programs attempts to load but never opens...
[10:46] <CaptainMorgan> any suggestions?
[10:47] <CaptainMorgan> ok... that was a short stint.. now it opens, but asks for root.. process interference?
[10:48] <gan|y|med> this is normal
[10:48] <gan|y|med> sadly
[10:49] <gan|y|med> maybe somebody could induce a petition for fixing this problem. it has kept on spoiling my mood since breezy
[10:51] <ruben> hallo
[10:52] <JanMartin> hi
[10:52] <ruben> I have a question, why some programs don't start at the first time ?
[10:53] <_ryan> hey
[10:54] <ruben> hi
[10:54] <_ryan> how do you mount an ntfs partiton so a user has access to it?
[10:54] <_ryan> I tried the uid and umask option, but the permissions seem to be wrong.
[10:55] <ruben> i dont' know
[10:55] <nico8481> loo
[10:55] <nico8481> lo
[10:55] <m4t7e0> hello
[10:56] <m4t7e0> there are any italian?
[10:57] <tuxcicles> _ryan: mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt
[10:57] <m4t7e0> i have the problem with the driver of grafical interface.. (i have ati x1600 mobile and Kubuntu Dapper
[10:58] <ruben> What is the fastest p2p client for mp3's
[10:58] <ruben> on kubuntu
[10:59] <tuxcicles> ruben: who knows, there are so many of em
[10:59] <melkart> do i understand correctly that, before shutting down, all modules are being unloaded from the kernel?
[11:02] <ruben> @tuxcicles Witch do you use ?
[11:03] <m4t7e0> ..
[11:03] <m4t7e0> anyone can help me?
[11:04] <ruben> i am a linux noob :p
[11:04] <tuxcicles> i kinda like ktorrent, usually newsgroups are the best way to go, klibido is excellent binary grabber
[11:05] <tuxcicles> ati ey, are you using ati proprietary drivers, fglrx?
[11:05] <m4t7e0> now
[11:05] <m4t7e0> no
[11:05] <m4t7e0> i have vesa driver
[11:06] <farous> m4t7e0: can you state your prob
[11:07] <CaptainMorgan> how do I edit symbolic links/menu buttons, icons? I have DrScheme installed to /usr/bin and I would like to link to it as under menu/Development it is not there yet
[11:07] <apu> hey all
[11:08] <apu> how can i set the global character encoding in kde?
[11:08] <m4t7e0> if i install the ati driver the xserver give me an error..
[11:09] <tuxcicles> i don't know if that card is supported under fglrx check here and maybe this will help http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Generating.2FInstalling_Ubuntu_packages_for_the_newer_8.23.7_drivers_in_Ubuntu_Dapper
[11:09] <farous> m4t7e0: is your card supported what card do you have. fglrx is hmm worst you can use why not use the free ones you have 3-d accel with that
[11:09] <m4t7e0> now i test this..
[11:09] <m4t7e0> tnx
[11:09] <farous> tuxcicles: does not work
[11:10] <farous> !ati
[11:10] <ubotu> [ati]  http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers
[11:10] <m4t7e0> but because during the installation i have selected the italian language and after installation the language is englis?
[11:11] <tuxcicles> well, i guess use the free ones then just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and change to ati
[11:11] <gan|y|med> farous: why is fglrx the worst you can use?
[11:11] <farous> because i use it and it is like hmm how can i put it trash
[11:12] <gan|y|med> i don't know about x11r7, but in r6 the open source drivers are absolutely unsuitable
[11:12] <farous> property drivers when they become opensource perhaps they will be better
[11:12] <tuxcicles> he thinks there the worst because they are proprietary, but they are the only ones that will give me gl
[11:12] <piui> how can I transfer my gnupg keys from one computer to another?
[11:13] <farous> tuxcicles: i do nto think i use them and they give a hell of problems
[11:13] <apu> how can i set the global character encoding in kde?
[11:13] <farous> tuxcicles: and there is a howto on setting xgl with open source drivers
[11:14] <tuxcicles> they work ok for me in breezy, i would like to use xgl though if it would work, where do i find the howto on that?
[11:14] <gan|y|med> farous: i am using them too and they work very well, especially the installation has become a easy as it could (and believe me, i am not in favour of proprietary drivers as well)
[11:14] <farous> help.ubuntu.com
[11:14] <farous> let me check the page
[11:14] <farous> gan|y|med: you do not have the frequent lockups good
[11:15] <tuxcicles> gan|y|med: are you using xgl too?
[11:15] <gan|y|med> what do u mean? too slow?
[11:15] <apu> how can i set the global character encoding in kde?
[11:16] <gan|y|med> no, not stable enough. but i'll try when i have time. it is not suitable for a production system right now
[11:16] <farous> but gan|y|med yah the installtion much easier they did good job on that. compiling from source or installing from repos are both the same quality now
[11:16] <farous> gan|y|med: no lockup means the pc hangs and only way is hard shutdown holding down the power button for 5 min
[11:17] <MikeMcA> hi.  what's the kbd shortcut to switch between desktops in kubuntu?  thx
[11:17] <farous> !xgl
[11:17] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[11:17] <gan|y|med> you mean when you logout. there is a fix for that...
[11:18] <farous> ah there is the wiki page and i can not seem to find the howto one
[11:18] <tuxcicles> i would like to use dapper, but last time I tried fglrx in dapper, no dice.
[11:18] <farous> setting the gdm.conf you mean
[11:18] <Locke355> i added the universe and multiverse repositories to adept, but even after fetching updates.. i still can't find "msttcorefonts".. any idea what i am doing wrong?
[11:19] <mindspin> I'd like to upgrade, but I have some non standard resources in my sources. lst (plf, kde 3.5.2 riddels package) any known risks ?
[11:19] <farous> they are in multiverse
[11:19] <gan|y|med> just download the ati installer... works flawlessly. you only have to change your kdmrc (one line) and then it works
[11:20] <farous> gan|y|med: not all cards are created equal ;)
[11:20] <MikeMcA> on suse, ctrl-tab switches between desktops.  on my new kubuntu install that doesn't work.  can someone please shoot me the key sequence to switch desktops on kubuntu? thx again.
[11:20] <gan|y|med> farous: or kdmrc. but it works. i admit, could be faster. i haven't checked out the x11r7 ati drivers though
[11:21] <Locke355> farous: in adept.. i added the line with "dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse".. anything else i need to do?
[11:21] <farous> Locke355: you need dapper universe multiverse. It is not in the backport repos
[11:21] <maltron> can anyone help me out as to why .bash_profile is only called when I log in remotely or via a text login?  If I log in graphically (gnome or kde) it's never read, and my path is never updated
[11:22] <farous> never heared about the x11r7 though might check it out when get the time
[11:22] <maltron> i had this problem on debian too, and I suspect it's the same with all distros
[11:22] <Locke355> farous: do i have to add the multiverse list manually? i dont see it listed
[11:22] <farous> yes
[11:22] <Locke355> do i just copy the universe line and change the component from universe to multiverse?
[11:23] <Locke355> (sorry first time on ubuntu and dealing with apt)
[11:23] <farous> !repos
[11:23] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
[11:23] <Locke355> thanks
[11:23] <farous> Locke355: but you can do what you said and easy way also is easysource
[11:23] <farous> !easysource
[11:23] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[11:25] <gan|y|med> MikeMcA: why don't you try ctrl + F1 F2... that's not exactly the same but it works
[11:25] <gan|y|med> have to go
[11:25] <gan|y|med> cu#
[11:26] <MikeMcA> thx
[11:27] <MikeMcA> but *should* ctrl-tab work on kubuntu?  maybe the kbd on my laptop is the prob
[11:27] <Locke355> farous: worked. thank you :)
[11:27] <farous> ur w:)
[11:28] <farous> maltron: do you mean when you open a terminal
[11:28] <farous> maltron: i know for terminals by default .bashrc is the one that is called you can set bash_profile but i do not know how
[11:30] <Skaman_> hi guys
[11:30] <maltron> farous: yeah.  My understanding is that .bash_profile is supposed to be called when you first log in, and .bashrc is called for every new shell, but that's in the old days - it doesn't seem to work that way anymore, yet I still want my .bash_profile environment variables and so on
[11:30] <Skaman_> anyone has a 100% working mx510 miouse?
[11:33] <Locke355> farous: any chance if you know if KDE needs to be restarted to see the fonts?
[11:33] <Locke355> or do i need to add them manually to KDE ?
[11:33] <farous> Locke355: have no idea
[11:33] <Locke355> k :)
[11:33] <chavo> Locke355, you don't need to restart
[11:33] <chavo> Locke355, where did you put the fonts?
[11:34] <Locke355> just grabbed them with adept
[11:34] <chavo> ok
[11:34] <chavo> yeah they should be available immediately
[11:35] <Locke355> a document said run 'fc-cache'.. did that
[11:35] <Locke355> weird.. cause .. for example.. i want to change the font in konsole. i go to select font.. and it only lists the original 7 fonts
[11:36] <chavo> Locke355, you can only use monospace fonts
[11:36] <Locke355> ahh. any other font packs with a nicer 8 point font? the courier 10 is pretty crappy at that size
[11:37] <mth`MAW_> http://www.designerinaction.de/fonts/show.php?art=pixelfonts
[11:37] <farous> did you try the bitsreamversa they are installed by default
[11:37] <mth`MAW_> Locke355: take a look there
[11:37] <Locke355> ya i'm using bitstream now
[11:37] <Locke355> loadin
[11:37] <chavo> yeah I like bitstream
[11:38] <chavo> consolas is a nice new font but it's from the evil empire :)
[11:38] <Locke355> ya.. bitstream vera san mono is the best at 8 i have found os far
[11:38] <farous> i have no trouble dealing with the devil ;)
[11:39] <chavo> If you have the vista beta just copy the fonts into ~/.fonts
[11:39] <chavo> consolas is actually pretty nice
[11:39] <farous> nice thanx chavo
[11:39] <Locke355> mth`MAW_: if  i download one of these.. what directory should i put it in?
[11:39] <chavo> yeah you can put any ttf in ~/.fonts
[11:40] <Locke355> that makes them only for the current user tho, no?
[11:40] <mth`MAW_> ~/.fonts
[11:40] <chavo> Locke355, yes /usr/share/fonts for system or use the font installer in system settings
[11:40] <Locke355> thanks :)
[11:40] <mth`MAW_> then restart your application to scan the directory
[11:41] <Locke355> sorry for all the retarded questions.. been a hwile since i used linux outside of a console
[11:41] <chavo> oh that's what were here for :)
[11:41] <farous> chavo: turned out you can just download them from the evilempire website :)
[11:41] <virnik> hi there, got problem with K3B SVN compilation on Kubuntu Breezy: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 4.1) (library qt) not found.
[11:41] <virnik> can somebody help?
[11:42] <chavo> farous, all the new fonts?
[11:42] <farous> i only checked  consolas
[11:42] <DeadS0ul> virnik: uh, don't us ehtat one, that one is waaaaaaaaaaay too new
[11:42] <chavo> virnik, do a sudo apt-get build-dep k3b, that'll install all the libs you need to build it
[11:43] <virnik> chavo: but not for SVN version
[11:43] <chavo> virnik, oh no
[11:43] <virnik> E: Build-dependencies for k3b could not be satisfied
[11:43] <chavo> that's probably not going to build for you
[11:43] <virnik> have you got some good sources?
[11:43] <chavo> svn trunk for KDE is a mess
[11:44] <apathy```> anyone have a solution to getting error 8254 timer not connect to IP_APIC during installation?
[11:44] <chavo> if you're not developer it's really useless
[11:44] <Locke355> being new to KDE aswell.. question just cause i think the effect is cool. the kicker tooltip has this nice wave made of circles animation. are there any other variants of that animation i can set ?
[11:44] <chavo> Locke355, no
[11:45] <chavo> virnik, why are you trying to build that?
[11:46] <ArmedGeek> apathy```: wild guess:  add acpi=off and/or nolapic to your boot options
[11:47] <apathy```> is that in bios?
[11:47] <farous> ah won't install perhaps needs vista as you said
[11:47] <virnik> chavo: cos binary version cant be installed due to dependency
[11:47] <NthDegree_> nothing needs vista :|
[11:48] <virnik> chavo: and cos my old one, which i have uninstalled, gotta problem with k3bsetup
[11:48] <ArmedGeek> apathy```: google for linux bootoptions
[11:48] <farous> NthDegree_: its a font nothing about kubuntu little bit of side track :)
[11:48] <chavo> virnik, you checked out svn trunk, that's the kde4 branch it's not going to build
[11:48] <chavo> you wan to get the 3.5 branch
[11:48] <NthDegree_> oh farous, thought someone was talking about windows again :|
[11:49] <NthDegree_> brb restart
[11:49] <virnik> chavo: doing it now
[11:49] <virnik> chavo: thx
[11:52] <alberto_165> ciao a tutti
[11:53] <alberto_165> i have a problem with codec installation in kubuntu
[11:54] <apathy```> ArmedGeek: once i select install it gives me no options to enter commands
[11:54] <apathy```> is there another option somewhere
[11:55] <alberto_85> wich pach i will installad for codec video and audio?
[11:55] <alberto_85> pack
[12:12] <travis|linux> anyone know if gam-server is required?
[12:12] <travis|linux> can I get rid of it
[12:12] <travis|linux> it seems to be chewing up processor for no reason
[12:12] <uniq> it'

[01:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> do you have libdvdcss installed?
[01:44] <_gary> yes
[01:45] <augustin> hello, i got a problem with my external hard drive since dapper
[01:45] <_gary> I can play dvds normally but I want kde to launch vlc when i insert a dvd into the dvd drive
[01:45] <augustin> it doesnt auto mount at booting automatically anymore
[01:46] <_gary> at mo it launches kafeine which won't playanything
[01:46] <mitja> Does --prefix=path work with autogen.sh?
[01:46] <augustin> kafeine sucks
[01:46] <chavo> mitja, it should
[01:47] <mitja> chavo: thanks
[01:47] <_gary> augustin: tell me about it
[01:47] <mitja> chavo: you're busy today, aren't you :)
[01:47] <augustin> i will show you the lign in /etc/fstab
[01:47] <chavo> I've been up all night
[01:48] <augustin> basically, when i plug it after the boot it is mounted, but it is not recognised when i plug it before booting
[01:49] <augustin> here is the lign, it is a fat32 hard drive plugged in usb2:
[01:51] <augustin> options of mounting are
[01:51] <augustin> utf8,umask=0,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,user
[01:54] <augustin> any idea?
