 What's the route home? (assuming it's by land)
[07:23] <Laney> duflu: Sadly not, flying from Pisa
[07:48] <didrocks> jibel: do you mind having a look at https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/apport/whoopsie-auto-ui/+merge/348479? I plan to release it today to cosmic and prepare the SRU
[07:49] <jibel> didrocks, okay, I will
[07:51] <didrocks> thx :)
[08:02] <seb128> looks like I forgot to say hi when I started IRC earlier this morning
[08:02] <seb128> good morning desktopers :)
[08:02] <seb128> (done with backlog!)
[08:03] <duflu> Hi seb128, jibel, willcooke, world
[08:04] <jibel> Hi duflu
[08:04] <jibel> and seb128 and all
[08:04] <didrocks> hey seb128
[08:21] <didrocks> c-lobrano: thanks for the feedback! (and hi ;))
[08:21] <c-lobrano> hi didrocks
[08:21] <c-lobrano> how's going? :)
[08:21] <didrocks> c-lobrano: good good! Yourself?
[08:22] <c-lobrano> didrocks: except back pain, everything's fine :D
[08:22] <didrocks> take care :/
[08:23] <c-lobrano> eh, long story :(
[08:25] <c-lobrano> didrocks: I've always thought I'm a little behind when talking about dependencies (like GTK2), packaging, repositories, CI, etc. anything you could suggest me to study/read about that?
[08:27] <c-lobrano> I mean, I know it's a long story, but something to start with
[08:29] <didrocks> c-lobrano: do you want to read a little bit about debian packaging, or rather CI, or… ? ;)
[08:30] <c-lobrano> didrocks: I've read something about debian packaging already, so CI would be good
[08:31] <didrocks> c-lobrano: hum, it really depends on the system you are using. For communitheme, I'm using Travis, and just read the Travis doc. In case you didn't read it yet, you can have a look at our travis ci yaml: https://github.com/ubuntu/gtk-communitheme/blob/master/.travis.yml
[08:31] <didrocks> as there are 5 repository, I factorize what we do in a single script we download
[08:31] <didrocks> to ease maintainance and not always repeating the same step
[08:31] <c-lobrano> didrocks: perfect, I'll start with that
[08:32] <didrocks> c-lobrano: the script is that one: https://github.com/ubuntu/communitheme-snap-helpers/blob/master/build/prepare-build-snap
[08:32] <didrocks> to handle PR per snap
[08:32] <didrocks> and as well releasing edge to master
[08:32] <didrocks> a simpler one which can be interesting to you: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/blob/master/.travis.yml
[08:33] <didrocks> you can see here how I have tag attaching automatically some release artefacts, like the binary
[08:33] <didrocks> and so, you end up with this: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/releases/tag/v1.2.0
[08:33] <c-lobrano> didrocks: uhu, awesome
[08:33] <c-lobrano> :D
[08:33] <didrocks> (notice the ubuntu-report-linux-amd64.tar.xz)
[08:33] <didrocks> if you have any question, do not hesitate, that should give you some start ;)
[08:34] <c-lobrano> I won't :D, thank you
[08:34] <didrocks> yw!

[19:17] <HenryHeron> Hi, relatively new to Linux variations... now on Ubuntu 8.04.1... contemplating Kubuntu (do lots of audio/midi/graphics). Some place to go to try & learn of possible problems in the change over? Thanks.
[19:18] <vlt> Hello. Is it possible to do the "server only" installation with the alternate iso image? (I'm missing the boot menu entry "install a server".)
[19:22] <nlindblad> Hi! Anyone using Kubuntu on a Thinkpad?
[19:22] <nlindblad> I'm curious whether the fingerprint-reader and the HDAPS works
[19:26] <juhix> Does anyone know what's the problem with the volume controlls, when they are either 100% or 0%? Nothing else is possible.
[19:28] <vasy> hi
[19:28] <vasy> all
[19:29] <Jimboo> Thats the way the cookie crumbles
[19:45] <tekteen> Anyone know alot about X? I want to connect my laptop to a HD tv. I need to have a refresh rate of 60 and a resolution of 1080p. Anyone know how to do that?
[19:47] <Alex135> tekteen: it depends on if the TV output is set as the second screen or not
[19:48] <tekteen> if possible
[19:48] <tekteen> I would like my 1st screen to be 1280x800
[19:48] <Alex135> tekteen: if it is set as the second screen then it is possible, because i have done a similer thing with my vid card but never got it working perfectly
[19:48] <tekteen> ok
[19:49] <tekteen> what is the first think I need to do (I backed up xorg.conf)
[19:49] <tsuna27> !COMPIZ
[19:50] <Alex135> thats the problem, i dont remember exactly how to set it up in the xorg.conf file
[19:50] <Alex135> atliest, not for the TV output
[19:50] <Alex135> sorry
[19:50] <tekteen> wait
[19:50] <tekteen> it is a vga out
[19:50] <tekteen> I need to config it to be 1080p
[19:50] <tekteen> and 60 refresh rate
[19:51] <Alex135> dont ask me how to do that stuff, the xorg.conf file is a mystery to me.... i have yet to compleetly figure out all of its tricks... all i know how to do is set it up for my Nvidia screens when the autodetect fails
[19:51] <tekteen> ok
[19:52] <tekteen> nm then
[19:52] <Alex135> im just saying it is possible
[19:52] <tekteen> I know it is possible lol
[19:52] <tekteen> I will ask on #ubuntu
[19:52] <Alex135> :P
[19:52] <Alex135> k
[19:53] <Agent_bob> my 'su' is broken "http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d362db46a"  anyone can help ?
[19:53] <jpds> !noroot
[19:54] <Agent_bob> anyone can help ?
[19:55] <Alex135> !noroot|Agent_bob
[19:55] <Agent_bob> anyone can help ?
[19:55] <Alex135> type: sudo su
[19:55] <Agent_bob> if you fellows are finished showing that you didn't even look at the pastebin  now.    can anyone help with this ?
[19:55] <Alex135> that should fix your problems....
[19:56] <Agent_bob> again    can anyone help with this ?
[19:56] <Agent_bob> su is "broken"   and it's not a permissions issue.
[19:56] <Alex135> what does it output when you type: sudo su-
[19:56] <Alex135> erm... sudo su -
[19:57] <Agent_bob> it outputs that alex hasn't looked at the pastebin i posted.
[19:57] <Agent_bob> :)
[19:57] <Alex135> i just finished looking at it
[19:57] <Agent_bob> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d362db46a
[19:57] <Agent_bob> and sudo would be redundant and useless for root to be using.
[19:57] <HUNTER_byte> What program can I use instead of xclip? xclip appears to use another clipboard(not KDE).
[19:58] <cyberponix> when at a public internet source is there a way to by pass blocks for torrent downloading?
[19:59] <Agent_bob> HUNTER_byte klipper ?
[19:59] <Alex135> cyberponix: depends on how it was setup, usually tunneling to another location is the best way
[19:59] <Alex135> cyberponix: changeing the port used is also another common technique
[19:59] <Alex135> it all depends on how the network was setup
[19:59] <cyberponix> I wondered about port changing
[20:00] <Alex135> cyberponix: clients like utorrent allow ports to be changed, im not so sure about other torrenting clients though and utorrent is windows only
[20:00] <Agent_bob> well i'll ask in the other channel   seeing that it's not a kde question.   thanks for the agravation though.  :)

[20:06] <HenryHeron> Hi. I have looked around the net & been unable to find (possible) issues to consider transitioning from Ubuntu 8.04.1 to Kubuntu. Any suggestions, ideas, experiences here?  Perhaps there are none (this would be unbelievable! (but hopefully true.) Thanks again.
[20:07] <Taggnostr> hello
[20:07] <TimS> How can I get my current distro version, I am not sure if I am on 8.04.1 or not.
[20:07] <Taggnostr> how can i mount a cd from the terminal?
[20:08] <Alex135> HenryHeron: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE instead of gnome
[20:08] <tsuna27> !compiz
[20:08] <Taggnostr> TimS, lsb_release -a
[20:08] <TimS> Taggnostr: Thank you.
[20:09] <HenryHeron> So w/ Kubuntu... no conflicts w/Ubuntu... ?
[20:10] <Alex135> HenryHeron: here is a guide if you want KDE on your machine.... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
[20:10] <Alex135> this is the same thing as if you were useing Kubuntu
[20:10] <Alex135> but you will keep all your data

[20:56] <vlt> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu using the alternate installer cd. Now when I boot, the kernel complains about missing /dev/mapper/vg1-root. Why didn't initrd load LVM and cryptsetup?
[20:56] <vlt> Both `cryptsetup` and `lvm` are available in the dropped (initramfs) shell. How to make initrd run `cryptsetup`?
[21:01] <Python1320> ok, I have the feeling that someone failed with the kubuntu-kde4-8.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso
[21:01] <Python1320> THe longest filenames are shortened
[21:02] <Python1320> Or actleaast if I try to view the iso with any possible iso viewer it shows me for examle .u or .ude instead of .udeb
[21:02] <Python1320> *atleast
[21:02] <mefisto__> Python1320: have you burned a cd yet?
[21:03] <Python1320> mefisto__, can't
[21:03] <Python1320> My dvd/cd burner doesn't work
[21:03] <Python1320> I tried usb install
[21:03] <Python1320> but the installer started showing missing files
[21:03] <Python1320> then I started checking the filenames and discovered that
[21:05] <Python1320> ok, it seems that no windows application can display the filenames correctly
[21:06] <Python1320> after mounting the iso in my network hub I could see the correct filenames
[21:07] <ubuntu> hiiii

[21:15]  * abby87 is listening to More Than This by Norah Jones on Come Away with Me [Amarok]
[21:21] <_2> my 'su' is broken, and if anyone can, i'd like help with it.    thank you.    http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=da1b424c
[21:21] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: what should I do. It found 2 partitions but there is actually three. (one is swap)
[21:22] <_2> digitalvaldosta_ did it finish scanning already ?
[21:22] <giorgio__> ciao
[21:23] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: I seleted  the analyze after it searched and found those two. It is still analyzing
[21:23] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: its only 10gb
[21:24] <_2> when it finishes if it hasn't found the third then tell me.
[21:24] <_2> not that i'll know an answer...     it should find them all.
[21:24] <abby87> _2: try su -c greg
[21:24] <vlt> Hello. Can anyone please tell me how to make initrd run `cryptsetup` to make the kernel able to mount its root fs?
[21:24] <digitalvaldosta_> ok
[21:25] <_2> abby87 su: Permission denied
[21:27] <abby87> vlt: try in #kernel
[21:27]  * abby87 is away: Gone away for now.
[21:28] <_2> vlt make a script and put in /usr//share/initramfs-tools/scripts/*    then rebuild the initramfs image  ???
[21:28] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: it seems to have hung up with 14%. or is that approximate?
[21:29] <_2> give a little time.
[21:29] <digitalvaldosta_> ok
[21:29] <vlt> _2: A script containing the `cryptsetup` command? Why didn't the installer create this?
[21:29] <ahmos> hi , i've installed and applyed a new splash screen,tested it and it worked well..but when i reboot the computer it always uses the default one..so any ideas?
[21:29] <digitalvaldosta_> .com
[21:30] <_2> vlt actually any command/s that need ran...   and as to why   you can check there and in /etc/initramfs/*    it might have.  but not generated the new initramfs image yet ???
[21:31] <_2> or /etc/mkinitramfs   that is.
[21:32] <_2> i personally don't like initr* kernels.   i like the fs support compiled in.

[21:38] <vilhelm> Hello! where in kubuntu can I choose what monitor I have?
[21:39] <_2> !nv
[21:40] <_2> vilhelm used to be in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf    i don't think they use that anymore ;/
[21:40] <vilhelm> hmm i got problem that i cant change my resolution :(
[21:40] <starenka> vilhelm: kde menu -> system settings -> monitor & display
[21:40] <vilhelm> yes but i cant change it there ;/
[21:41] <mefisto__> vilhelm: krandrtray
[21:41] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: when this gets done telling me the superblocks. . . should I use one of the higher number superblocks or start at the beginning?
[21:41] <starenka> vilhelm: are u in administrator mode?
[21:42] <vilhelm> i'm in my login mode
[21:42] <_2> digitalvaldosta_  98304  maybe.
[21:42] <vilhelm> i had same problem in ubuntu but I fixed it somehow but i cant remember how :S
[21:42] <_2> digitalvaldosta_  32768 if you like
[21:42] <starenka> vilhelm: there's a button there ....
[21:42] <vilhelm> yes
[21:43] <vlt> _2: I created a script, rebuilt initrd (and checked that the script made it there). But it isn't executed. Any idea?
[21:43] <vilhelm> ohh w8 a sec :) brb
[21:43] <digitalvaldosta_> i have (so far) 98304 but not 32768
[21:43] <_2> vlt it is executable ?
[21:43] <vilhelm> need to restart comp
[21:43] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: 39%
[21:43] <_2> vlt is in one of the *top dirs ?
[21:44] <vlt> _2: and no. It's in scripts, as you told me so.
[21:44] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: I guess it takes a while since there are errors
[21:44] <vlt> _2: *yes, it's executable.
[21:44] <_2> vlt the * meant some sub dir    sorry.
[21:44] <vlt> _2: Ok, which one?
[21:45] <_2> vlt the are ordered.   blah top  blah blah blah bottom  when do you want it executed?    not before the module is loaded and not after it tries to mount the root fs
[21:45] <_2> they
[21:47] <_2> vlt i'm no expert on initram fs structure.   i have redone a few out of necessity but there should be a howto on the web or a more advanced user to ask...
[21:49] <vlt> There are lvm and mdadm scripts in init-premount. How can I define the execution order?
[21:49] <vlt> alpabetically?
[21:49] <_2> yes alphanumeric

[21:51] <jenz> hi all, i just installed kubuntu hardy on dualboot next to vista on my hp pavillion dv9285ea laptop
[21:51] <starenka> jenz: good for you :))
[21:52] <jenz> i now want to try and install all hardware correctly but i'm trying to find like 'hardware management'-stuff
[21:52] <jenz> i know that for example my integrated webcam does not work, but where do is see the 'unrecognized hardware'?
[21:52] <jenz> thanks starenka
[21:53] <starenka> jenz: this is no windows.. if the harware works it works. otherwise you will have to ask google
[21:54] <jenz> google is my friend starenka, but as expected i can't find a lot about the used hardware (hp mentions a 'hp pavillion integrated webcam'
[21:54] <jenz> but nothing more specific
[21:54] <digitalvaldosta_> _2: how do i tell it to use that superblock. (98304)
[21:55] <starenka> jenz: yes, that's rhe bad side... try smthng like hp pavillion dv9285ea webcam ubuntu
[21:55] <starenka> or "hp pavillion dv9285ea webcam linux"
[21:55] <starenka> jenz: or "hp pavillion dv9285ea webcam ubuntu"
[21:56] <starenka> jenz: btw it doesn't work in skype? kopete?
[21:56] <digitalvaldosta_> brb
[21:56] <jenz> tried that ofcourse but the dv9285ea is not sold a lot so i guess not moch linux-users
[21:56] <jenz> nope, thats where i recognized the problem :)
[21:56] <jenz> skype on linux ... hmmm
[21:56] <_2> digitalvaldosta mount option
[21:56] <jenz> gotta check that out
[21:57] <starenka> jenz: skype is in some 3rd party repos
[21:57] <starenka> jenz: works like a charm
[21:57] <jenz> hmmm, no skype matches in the adept manager
[21:58] <starenka> jenz: you must add 3rd party repos
[21:58] <jenz> ahhh ok
[21:58] <starenka> jenz: there must be smthng like add software sources in adept
[21:58] <jenz> tnx, i tried that once
[21:58] <starenka> jenz: np, but i dont think this would solve the webcam problem :))
[21:58] <jenz> i know
[21:59] <josehipp> somethin to speak spanish
[21:59] <starenka> ke pasa
[21:59] <josehipp> please
[22:00] <jenz> starenka, do you prefer konqueror above firefox 3 (i'm new so just learning)
[22:00] <starenka> jenz: well, konqueror is fine with system integration, firefox is a bomb for developers, but i use opera :))
[22:01] <starenka> jenz: just use what you like the best ....
[22:01] <vilhelm> Hello! thx alot i got my monitor to work correct now :)
[22:01] <starenka> vilhelm: http://crap.starenka.net/monitor1.png
[22:02] <starenka> vilhelm: glad to hear that, this is the shot  i made for you, but you dissappeared :))
[22:02] <vilhelm> hehe thx .. :) i needed to restart the x-server :)
[22:02] <jenz> i allso have a strange gfx-thingy (every few minutes i have a 'glitch' (like the monitor blinks for a microsecond)
[22:03] <vilhelm> I would like to use xgl in Kubuntu i know it has bad support but still .. i have installed compiz is there anything else that I need?
[22:04] <starenka> jenz: tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=465040
[22:06] <jenz> gonna check it out starenka, thanks! (but trying to find the right skype repo first :)
[22:07] <starenka> jenz: btw you can get hw info with konsole commands: "lspci" and "lsusb" - follow "man >command<" for more info
[22:07] <_2> lshw
[22:08] <jenz> i will try it, but still looking for the right repo (using hardy) for skype :) (like i said i'm new since yesterday)
[22:08] <_2> sudo lshw | less
[22:09] <chao1> _2: I tried letting testdisk write its mbr to the drive. that didn't work. but I did write down what it has been saying when I boot the computer from the hard drive
[22:10] <chao1> jenz: try the linux mint repo or the medibuntu repo
[22:11] <starenka> jenz: it should be in mediabuntu
[22:11] <starenka> jenz: repo
[22:11] <jenz> quick question: what is medibuntu
[22:11] <jenz> sorry, got it
[22:12] <chao1> its a repo with the non-free apps in it
[22:12] <Evolution21> hi guys i just booted up hardy and only a quarter of the sreen is visible everything else is black. any ideas? i have a screenshot
[22:12] <chao1> acrobat reader, skype, etc
[22:12] <chao1> _2: would you like to see a screenshot of what it says when I try to mount the partitions?
[22:13] <_2> screenshot ?  no.     pastebin maybe.
[22:14] <jenz> is this the correct one chao1? -> deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free
[22:14] <jenz> is this the correct one chao1? -> deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free
[22:14] <chao1> yes
[22:15] <mefisto__> jenz: go to www.medibuntu.org to get instructions on how to add medibuntu repos correctly
[22:16] <chao1> _2: sorry I had gotten nocked out of the room. would you like for me to send you screenshots of the output from me mounting the partitions via double click?
[22:16] <jenz> added it mefisto, and installed skype
[22:17] <chao1> !nick
[22:20] <jenz> last question for today: i have a xp-nas-server downstairs and vnc-server running. i can control it via krdc but i want a 'desktop shortcut' to it
[22:20] <vlt> _2: omfg, five hours to find out a simple cmdline parameter "cryptopt=source=/dev/md1,target=md1_crypt,keys=none" was missong in menu.lst ... :(
[22:21] <JackWinter_> can anyone point me to how to update my nvidia drivers ?
[22:23] <digitalvaldosta> :-/help me please.
[22:24] <draknn>  i keep getting this error in firefox when trying to upload to Photobucket:  invalid function name:SelectFiles;  I use the SUN JRE, if that matters
[22:31] <nlindblad> Hi!
[22:31] <ctp> hi folks. would you recommend intrepid for daily use meantime? i wanna use kde 4.1 so i have to choose between hardy+kde4.1 packages vs intrepid
[22:34] <jenz> hi
[22:34] <adz21c> ctp: I tried out intrepid a lil while ago, seemed ok i had no issues, but to be honest I avoid alpha issues, and still tend to be skeptical about beta a lot but if it has something i want i wont hesitate to use it. Only reason is i find it easier to get help for the current release than the aloha release, but when it turns beta u get more people interested and more people out there to help
[22:36] <ctp> adz21c, ok, so i'll try it. i think kde 4.1 is worth to try this step ;-)
[22:37] <adz21c> ctp: well you get it in hardy with an update from ppa repo, so depends on ur needs really. For me at moment interpid isnt offering anything i need and i am running 4.1 ... i only tried it as i was hoping for a newer version of alsa but it still had same version of hardy at time so i converted back
[22:39] <CollinTMiller> hello #kubuntu, I'm having some trouble getting some stuff for firefox: specifically "sudo apt-get build-dep firefox-3.0". I am told that "E: Build-dependencies for firefox-3.0 could not be satisfied."
[22:39] <CollinTMiller> I'm not sure what to do about that error
[22:39] <CollinTMiller> I'm trying to do this: http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2008/07/build-firefox-3-web-browser-with-jssh.html
[22:40] <nlindblad> Doesn't Kubuntu ship with Beryl/Compiz?
[22:41] <ctp> adz21c, ok, which repo do you use exactely for 4.1?
[22:41] <adz21c> ctp whatever was in the announcement, hold on i get the link
[22:41] <adz21c> ctp: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
[22:42] <ctp> adz21c, ah, ok. mni, mni thx ;-)
[22:42] <ctp> adz21c, you installed on top of kubuntu or ubuntu?
[22:43] <adz21c> ctp: same basic thing :-), but i did kubuntu
[22:43] <ctp> ok
[22:44] <ctp> adz21c, all is working properly or do you have some trouble with 4.1?
[22:44] <adz21c> ctp: you might find it easier to install onto something that doesn't already have kde4 installed as some package names changed which made a few dependency issues when installing, so when kde4 isn't there ... shouldn't happen
[22:44] <adz21c> ctp: ummmm i can't think of any major issues
[22:45] <adz21c> ctp: i don't have webcam with kopete i think, it can see webcam but i think its disabled on certain protocols, which i use it seems .. that can be annoying but i rarely use it so not major, and i can always install kopete-kde3 for when i really want it
[22:46] <adz21c> ctp: ummmm, oh for some reason signing isn't working in kontact for me emails at mo .. which is weird as it worked in RC1, infact i double check that one now
[22:47] <ctp> adz21c, ok, so these are minor problems i can live with ;-)
[22:47] <adz21c> ctp: yea it says bad passphrase without even asking me for it, but not like i am desperate to sign my emails or anything :-)
[22:48] <adz21c> ctp: i don't have much luck with ark either, seems to be a lil dodgey, but can always use cli or ark for kde3 for now
[22:48] <ctp> adz21c, ok,l this sounds really good for me
[22:49] <DreadKnight> ark for kde4 sucks big time atm
[22:49] <adz21c> indeed
[22:49] <adz21c> its my one major gripe
[22:49] <DreadKnight> don't waste your time with it
[22:49] <DreadKnight> unrar e blabla
[22:49] <DreadKnight> bash xD
[22:49] <adz21c> tar -xvf blabla
[22:50] <adz21c> that terminal in dolphin comes in handy
[22:51] <DreadKnight> hmm
[22:51] <DreadKnight> never used that one
[22:52] <adz21c> well i am usually doing stuff in dolphin and cant be bothered to 'cd' everywhere
[22:53] <DreadKnight> i got used to cd-ing stuff, tab autocompletion ftw i guess..
[22:54] <adz21c> yea, well guess it depends what i am doing really, sometimes i cd around but othertimes i can't be bothered with typing
[22:56] <DreadKnight> ofc
[22:58] <nusakan> How do I get my laptop to boot from the livecd?
[22:59] <BraveSpear> anyone know how to start kwallet from a command line?
[22:59] <BigBuddha> what is the command to fix flash?
[22:59] <mefisto__> kwalletmanager
[23:02] <DreadKnight> nusakan: better chances to manage an install with alternate cd, also check about the laptop model for linux/kubuntu compatibility via the internet ;)
[23:02] <BraveSpear> mefisto__: thank you
[23:03] <mefisto__> np BraveSpear. tab completion (I typed "kwall" then the tab key) try it
[23:03] <BigBuddha>  i keep getting this error in firefox when trying to upload to Photobucket:  invalid function name:SelectFiles;  I use the SUN JRE, if that matters
[23:04] <khaije1> so is it possible to permission lvm volumes so they are mountable by user processes?
[23:04] <BraveSpear> nice thanks.. I learn something new everyday.
[23:04] <khaije1> i basically want to use lv's for my virtual machines, but don't want to run virt-manager as root each time to do it
[23:13] <ign0ramus> bigbuddha: use the other version of uploaders (like the single-file uploader)
[23:13] <BigBuddha> ign0ramus: neither will work, friend
[23:14] <BraveSpear> Anyone know how to make firefox 3 the default web browser from the command line?
[23:14] <ign0ramus> bigbuddha: are you running Flashblock?
[23:14] <BraveSpear> I've tried update-alternatives --config x-www-browser but konqueror keeps coming up when I click a link on the desktop.
[23:15] <ign0ramus> bravespear: why not just use kcontrol?
[23:17] <ign0ramus> bravespear: or * sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser *
[23:17] <ign0ramus> oh... i should've read your previous comment o_O
[23:25] <richard__> hi - sound has just stopped working for me and amarok now has a message saying 'xine was unable to initialise any audio drivers' - is this a hardware or a software problem?
[23:26] <BraveSpear> ign0ramus: sorry for late reply, busy at work... I'm making a livecd based on kubuntu hardy, and am chrooted into the livecd before i squash and build the iso.
[23:27] <BraveSpear> I found a way to export a display to the local pc xwindow using xnest, which allowed me to run firefox from chroot and able to configure it there.
[23:27] <BraveSpear> same with another prog called kvpnc i've been having a hell of a time with getting it configured.
[23:28] <BraveSpear> now i just need to figure out how to keep kwallet from running everytime a user runs a program that uses a password
[23:33] <ign0ramus> richard__: have you tried exiting amarok, and running *sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart*?  Then restart amarok
[23:33] <icarus> .
[23:36] <richard__> ign0ramus: i have now
[23:36] <richard__> password for richard:
[23:36] <richard__> Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils {start [CARD]|stop [CARD]|restart [CARD]|reset [CARD]}
[23:37] <ign0ramus> you have to specify 'restart'.  just c&p the command above (between the asterisks)
[23:37] <richard__> oops, typo
[23:37] <richard__> * Shutting down ALSA...                                                         * warning: 'alsactl store' failed with error message 'alsactl: save_state:1251: No soundcards found...'...                                              [fail]
[23:37] <richard__>  * Setting up ALSA...                                                            * warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1327: No soundcards found...'...                                            [ OK ]
[23:37] <ign0ramus> richard__: !pastebin
[23:38] <ign0ramus> !pastebin | richard__
[23:38] <richard__> sorry!
[23:39] <richard__> im slightly puzzled - sound was working fine until about half an hour ago
[23:40] <ign0ramus> richard__: what does * cat /proc/asound/cards * tell you?
[23:41] <richard__> ign0ramus: --- no soundcards ---
[23:42] <ign0ramus> richard__: well, thats your problem.  now, the solution...
[23:42] <ign0ramus> did you upgrade kernels or make any hardware changes recently?
[23:43] <richard__> nope
[23:43] <richard__> sound was working fine
[23:43] <richard__> i was listening to some music, then I had some network problems, changed networks a few times and noticed sound had stopped working
[23:43] <ign0ramus> richard__: this sounds like a very "windows-like" answer, but you can always try a reboot and see if HAL will recognize your card... that's q&d
[23:44] <richard__> q&d?
[23:44] <ign0ramus> quick and dirty
[23:44] <richard__> clever
[23:44] <richard__> so just restart and come back into kubuntu?
[23:45] <aziz> question: what do I have to write in .xinitrc to start another KDE session when I type "xinit -- :1" in the console?
[23:45] <ign0ramus> richard__: someone with more expertise could probably give you a better response, but i've found the same thing happening to me, and rebooting will fix it.
[23:45] <ign0ramus> richard__: it can't hurt
[23:45] <richard__> too true
[23:45] <richard__> thanks for your help
[23:45] <ign0ramus> i try :)
[23:46] <richard__> if it doesnt work i may try reseating the card, or enabling the onboard card in the bios
[23:46] <ign0ramus> richard__: reboot in recovery mode to see what messages you may get
[23:46] <richard__> (i cobbled this PC together from free parts)
[23:46] <TimS> Can I play a .xvid video in kubuntu?
[23:47] <ign0ramus> tims: have you tried?  if you have the proper codecs, i would say vlc should be able to.  just guessing, though.
[23:47] <TimS> Kaffiene failed, Ill try VLC in a sec.
[23:48] <ign0ramus> tims: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244140&page=2
[23:48] <TimS> Odd, Kaffeine works fine for other xvid videos.
[23:48] <TimS> But with this one it tries to install codecs then tells me I have them.
[23:49] <ign0ramus> tims: i would say that there's something messed up with the file, then.
[23:51] <TimS> Could be, Ill redownload this one later tonight. Work servers are down at the moment :(
[23:51] <lenea> can anyone help me? i how do i deactivate the drive check after an 'unclean shutdown'?
[23:54] <favro> I think the escape button does that
[23:55] <lenea> favro : nope, doesn't work. it'd be best not just to skip it, but to entirely deactivate it so it never pops up again
[23:55] <TimS> Uninstall fdisk? Is that even possible or is it a kernel app?
[23:56] <favro> it is best to let it check the system - it is there for a reason
[23:57] <TimS> Esc is the skip key, I am sure of that much.
[23:57] <lenea> favro : the problem is one of my drives is ext2, so it always fails the drive check. so it pops up next reboot to. so basically each reboot i'm just wasting 5 minutes
[23:57] <lenea> TimS : i've tried escape countless times, no result
[23:57] <TimS> Hmm
