[10:04] <anthony_> Hi, we are trying to install Kubuntu on a fujitsu siemens amilio pi1536, and after we choose START & INSTALL.. after a while it ends up with a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen.. any ideas?
[10:04] <Admiral_Chicago> Jucato: thats the full log....
[10:04] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: yeah, but it actually mixes all the errors from all other cmake runs :/
[10:05] <Admiral_Chicago> everything seemes to work fine (no errors)
[10:05] <Admiral_Chicago> built all the way afaik
[10:05] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: here's a tip. if something from KDE svn doesn't build, try svn up after a few hours and try again
[10:05] <Admiral_Chicago> i tried that earlier too
[10:05] <Admiral_Chicago> waited a few hours
[10:05] <Jucato> :/
[10:06] <Admiral_Chicago> Jucato: richard said it's probably related to it being Monday...
[10:06] <Jucato> ah it's monday? lol I lost track of days :/
[10:06] <Admiral_Chicago> when he told me it was...its now tuesday
[10:06] <cewanf> I am using KCpuLoad on a dual core system, but I only see one CPU graph in system tray. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

[10:15] <toma> hi, vmware-player-kernel-modules_<IP_ADDRESS>.14_i386 does not contain the modules, is there a workaround?
[10:18] <mattsqz_> brb
[10:19] <mattsqz> ah thats better
[10:20] <mattsqz> gotta have splitfire with my epic
[10:23] <anthony_> is there any install problems for kubuntu with fujitsu siemens amilo ?
[10:27] <mattsqz> whats an amilo
[10:27] <mattsqz> a laptop?
[10:27] <anthony_> yes
[10:27] <anthony_> has an ATI X1400 graphic card..
[10:27] <mattsqz> well step one..find out all about the hardware in it
[10:27] <anthony_> the live cd isnt loading..
[10:28] <mattsqz> what model is it
[10:28] <raf> to
[10:28] <anthony_> AMILO PI 1536
[10:29] <mattsqz> 1536..k..
[10:29] <anthony_> After we choose start & install, some things are loaded up... then a blank screen with a blinking cursor at the top left appears..
[10:30] <mattsqz> it doesnt look like there's any unusual hardware in it
[10:30] <anthony_> interestingly.. if we disable and enable the wireless through a switch on the laptop. a message displaying such action is shown .. hence something is working..
[10:30] <mattsqz> have you tried starting the disc in vga mode
[10:30] <anthony_> message saying.. "Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:"..
[10:30] <anthony_> we tried in VGA Safe Mode with the same result..
[10:30] <mattsqz> that could easily be osd stuff in the laptop's hardware
[10:31] <mattsqz> it could be any number of things
[10:31] <anthony_> then if we press the SWITCH OFF button of the laptop.. the KUBUNTU SPLASH SCREEN COMES.. and it switches off normally
[10:32] <anthony_> it seems the XSERVER is failing to load..

[10:32] <mattsqz> check that out
[10:32] <mattsqz> anthony
[10:33] <anthony_> okay
[10:33] <mattsqz> looks like you have to use the alternate install cd and install in text mode
[10:33] <llutz> sercik: reason is written there, check permissions and /etc/exports on server
[10:34] <anthony_> okay 10x
[10:34] <sercik> llutz: i have created /etc/exports
[10:35] <sercik> ad then i have give exportfs command

[11:03] <sercik_> how can i kill sercik ghost?
[11:03] <sercik_> i'm sercik but i can't connect with that name
[11:04] <Jucato> sercik_: is sercik registered?
[11:04] <sercik_> sure!
[11:05] <Jucato> ah there :)
[11:05] <sercik> done!
[11:05] <sercik> Jucato: can you help me?
[11:05] <sercik> i have a problem with exportfs command
[11:06] <sercik> also if i launch it with -v i can't see output
[11:06] <sercik> it seems that doesn't export my shares and so i can't mount on client
[11:06] <llutz> sercik: exportfs -a
[11:07] <sercik> thank you llutz
[11:08] <sercik> the output tells about sync is better that i add sync option??
[11:09] <llutz> sercik: i prefer it
[11:09] <sercik> No options for /mnt/disco/shared <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>: suggest <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(sync) to avoid warning
[11:09] <sercik> do you explain me this line?
[11:09] <llutz> sercik: as long as you don't use "sync" you'll get a warning.
[11:09] <sercik> and then No host name given with /mnt/disco/shared (rw,sync), suggest *(rw,sync) to avoid warning
[11:10] <sercik> i have added sync on exports file
[11:10] <sercik> this is a tipical line: /mnt/disco/shared <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> (rw,sync)
[11:10] <llutz> sercik: add a host/net
[11:11] <sercik> could you wite me the correct syntax?
[11:11] <llutz> sercik: how about reading the manual? :)     /mnt/disco/shared <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> *(rw,sync)
[11:12] <sercik> llutz: sorry!
[11:12] <sercik> i have read two guides
[11:12] <sercik> but the differences is * ?
[11:13] <llutz> sercik: without space, sry   /mnt/disco/shared <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(rw,sync)
[11:13] <sercik> ah! ok now
[11:13] <llutz> sercik:or   /mnt/disco/shared <IP_ADDRESS>/24(rw,sync)
[11:13] <llutz> sercik:or   /mnt/disco/shared 10.*(rw,sync)
[11:13] <sercik> infact i didn't understand why the output sugests the options i have already added
[11:13] <sercik> the space is incorrect
[11:15] <sercik> is there a grphical tool like smb4k for nfs browsing
[11:15] <ssuuddoo> hi, could anyone tell me if there is a way to run a swf file with a borderless player?
[11:16] <ssuuddoo> i dunno
[11:16] <sercik> mplayer is borderless
[11:16] <sercik> do you mean in browser page?
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> no
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> will try mplayer
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> my intention is:
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> ...will explain
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> some programs have a nice notifiers
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> for example incredimail for email notification
[11:19] <ssuuddoo> they are in the swf format
[11:20] <ssuuddoo> (for example a 3D envelope spins around the systray several times)
[11:20] <ssuuddoo> I had the idea that normal email notifier that could run a command could run a swf-player that would play selected swf file without a window
[11:20] <ardchoille> ssuuddoo: kbiff can do that
[11:20] <ssuuddoo> just the swf with full transparency
[11:21] <ardchoille> ssuuddoo: superkaramba can do email notification and gkrellm can too
[11:21] <ssuuddoo> and korn can do it also, but I dunno, which swf-player to use
[11:21] <ssuuddoo> wait, will try the mplayer
[11:25] <ssuuddoo> can you make a superkaramba script that runs a swf file on the desktop?
[11:35] <ssuuddoo> anyway - can superkaramba work with SWF files?
[11:37] <rowenthedark> Couple of questions: How do i make my home folder appear on my desktop? And what is the default file manager?
[11:38] <Jucato> Default Filemanager = Konqueror
[11:39] <rowenthedark> jucato: how can i change it to dolphin?
[11:40] <Jucato> link to home: right-click on the desktop -> Create New -> Link to location - type in "home:/"
[11:40] <Jucato> rowenthedark: you wouldn't want to use Dolphin on KDE 3.5 just yet...
[11:40] <anthony_> mattsqz: we installed the alternate cd but when we come to doing sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx  it tells us "Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx"
[11:40] <rowenthedark> jucato: why not?
[11:41] <Jucato> rowenthedark: the version of Dolphin on KDE 3 has not been updated nor will it be updated. it's not even close to what Dolphin really has right now in KDE 4, both in features and stability
[11:41] <rowenthedark> jucato: okay. thanks for that info.
[11:42] <Jucato> so unless you really want to use a gimped version of Dolphin, you can go to Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations -> inode -> directory and change it there
[11:44] <rowenthedark> jucato: I installed KDE 4 but seem to have lost it somewhere. IE not in session menu. Any idea where it is and how to start it?
[11:45] <rowenthedark> Sorry for so many questions btw.
[11:45] <pag> rowenthedark, http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-alpha1.php here are the instructions on how can you get it to your session menu :)
[11:45] <Jucato> rowenthedark: how did you install KDE 4? kubuntu.org packages? if yes, check the announcement page for that
[11:46] <rowenthedark> pag and jucato thank you.
[11:48] <rowenthedark> I think thats everything. Thanks again.
[11:49] <rowenthedark> Wait one more question: How can I keep gnome stuff from showing up in my kde menu?
[11:51] <RawSewage> what version of GNOME is in Ubuntu
[11:51] <RawSewage> 7.04
[11:52] <rowenthedark> 2.18command line.1 i think

[11:52] <ubotu> gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 12 kB, installed size 44 kB
[11:52] <RawSewage> ty
[11:52] <Jucato> that should be 2.16 afaik...
[11:52] <ardchoille> I think it is 2.16
[11:52] <Jucato> actually. 2.18
[11:52] <rowenthedark> i thought it was 2.18.1
[11:52] <ardchoille> Ah, ok
[11:52] <crdlb> !info epiphany-browser
[11:52] <ubotu> epiphany-browser: Intuitive GNOME web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 2.18.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 3130 kB, installed size 13280 kB
[11:53] <Jucato> at least it should be...
[11:53] <ardchoille> Ah, yeah, 2.18.1
[11:53] <rowenthedark> :)
[11:53] <RawSewage> is it easy to upgrade to 2.18
[11:53] <Jucato> since Ubuntu syncs w/ GNOME releases
[11:53] <Jucato> what do you mean?
[11:53] <ardchoille> Jucato: bot info not reliable?
[11:54] <RawSewage> Feisty cant have 2.18
[11:54] <RawSewage> it just came out 2 weeks ago
[11:54] <ardchoille> !info nautilus feisty
[11:54] <ubotu> nautilus: file manager and graphical shell for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.18.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 645 kB, installed size 1568 kB
[11:54] <ardchoille> Looks like the bot info isn't reliable
[11:54] <crdlb> RawSewage, it does
[11:55] <crdlb> and 2.18 came out in march iirc
[11:55] <RawSewage> 2.18.2 / 30 May 2007
[11:55] <rowenthedark> Is there a menu editor in kde and if so where would i find it?
[11:55] <RawSewage> crdlb, oh ok.  thats .2
[11:55] <crdlb> RawSewage, that's 2.18.2
[11:55] <RawSewage> I see
[11:55] <ardchoille> rowenthedark: right click on the menu icon
[11:56] <rowenthedark> ardchoille thanks
[11:56] <linux_> Hi there.
[11:56] <ardchoille> rowenthedark: Or you can alt+f2 and type in  kmenuedit
[11:56] <linux_> I have never had 3D support on linux on any distros
[11:56] <Jucato> "Best of the open source world: Ubuntu 7.04 supports the Linux 2.6.20 kernel, the recent GNOME 2.18 desktop environment, and thousands of additional applications."
[11:56] <linux_> can anyone help me get 3D
[11:56] <Jucato> RawSewage:  ^^^
[11:56] <Jucato> too bad he left
[11:57] <linux_> The graphics card can support it.
[11:57] <linux_> just i never had help to enable it
[11:57] <Jucato> what video card?
[11:58] <rowenthedark> Why is it 3d graphics work out of the box on intel 9xx series cards but not on ati/nvidia without a lot of work.
[11:59] <linux_> its ati
[11:59] <dwidmann> rowenthedark: intel cards have open drivers
[11:59] <linux_> 9700 i think
[11:59] <Jucato> rowenthedark: because intel has opened their drivers
[11:59] <llutz> rowenthedark: at/nvidia are closed drivers
[11:59] <Jucato> !ati | linux_
[11:59] <ubotu> linux_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:59] <sivaji2009> linux_ lspci
[11:59] <linux_> i installed the ati opengl support thing on the new kubuntu
[11:59] <linux_> off the installer
[11:59] <rowenthedark> Ahhhh. That explains why my desktop was a pain to set up. Has ati card.
[11:59] <crdlb> linux_, on feisty, there's builtin 3d support for the 9700
[11:59] <rowenthedark> :(
[12:00] <crdlb> enough for beryl, etc. at least
[12:00] <linux_> bulitin?
[12:00] <crdlb> yes
[12:00] <linux_> whats that mean
[12:00] <crdlb> it's not as fast as the ati proprietary driver, but it runs beryl better and it's far more stable
[12:00] <Jucato> rowenthedark: the fact that ATI is rumored to have not so nice Linux drivers also adds to that difficulty
[12:00] <crdlb> linux_, you don't have to do anything to enable it
[12:00] <crdlb> it's works out of the box
[12:00] <rowenthedark> jucato: yes.
[12:01] <linux_> miene dont
[12:01] <linux_> mine done*
[12:04] <crdlb> linux_, you want 3d for games?
[12:04] <rowenthedark> If I edit my k-menu will it affect my gnome menu?
[12:04] <crdlb> or for beryl?
[12:04] <linux_> eberyl
[12:04] <Jucato> rowenthedark: no
[12:04] <linux_> beryl
[12:04] <crdlb> linux_, run: lspci|grep VGA
[12:04] <linux_> i installed beryl before
[12:04] <faidillinger> beryl still exists ????
[12:04] <rowenthedark> jucato: Thanks.
[12:04] <linux_> it didnt qwork
[12:04] <rowenthedark> Beryl will always exist. :)
[12:04] <Jucato> er... not as "beryl" per se
[12:04] <faidillinger> hmmmm i think it was back again with compiz
[12:04] <crdlb> faidillinger, that hasn't had a release yet
[12:04] <Jucato> well not exactly "merged" perfectly
[12:04] <crdlb> if you want it you have to pull it from git
[12:05] <faidillinger> crdlb: hmmm k

[12:05] <crdlb> linux_, close enough

[12:05] <sivaji2009> RawSewage_ so

[12:07] <linux_> i'll try now
[12:08] <sivaji2009> RawSewage_ rephrase u r sentence
[12:08] <RawSewage_>  When I install Ubuntu and import a Kubuntu account, what is getting imported?  Im on the live CD now
[12:09] <RawSewage_> I wonder why GNOME takes up screen space with 2 bars, one at top and one at bottom
[12:09] <sercik> llutz: i'm able to see but i can't write on my nfs shared directory... i have used rw in file /etc/exports... if you can't help me don't worry
[12:09] <missmolotov> hello i was wondering if someone could give me a little lshw help please?
[12:10] <sercik> lshw?
[12:10] <llutz> sercik: check file permissions
[12:10] <sercik> but i'm root!
[12:10] <sercik> i use sudo to mount nfs
[12:10] <Jucato> sercik: it's a command. like lspci
[12:10] <llutz> sercik: your user needs write-right to the nfs-share
[12:10] <RawSewage_> Does anyone know the answer
[12:10] <RawSewage_> Im sitting here at the Install window
[12:10] <sercik> ah!
[12:11] <sercik> now i try to write eith sudo to see if works
[12:11] <Jucato> RawSewage_: the people in #ubuntu might know that better
[12:11] <llutz> sercik: otherwise you have to map the users
[12:11] <RawSewage_> Jucato; Im asking there, but theyre useless
[12:11] <RawSewage_> that channel tried to ban me just because my name is RawSewage
[12:12] <RawSewage_> and all I ever did there was help people
[12:12] <RawSewage_> wait someone replied
[12:12] <missmolotov> i just wondered if anyone knew what ehz meant?  i have 2 p4 machines, when i lshw one of them, in the cpu bit, it tells me the size is 2GHz, on the other PC the one that keeps crashing, it tells me the size is 18EHz
[12:13] <missmolotov> i was wondering if it wasn't recognising the cpu properly or soemthing, as it's freezing about once every 20 mins
[12:13] <sercik> i can't write on nfs share also if i'm root
[12:13] <linux_> do i have to reboot to test beryl?
[12:13] <missmolotov> and all i'm doing is editing html
[12:13] <crdlb> linux_, you shouldn't
[12:13] <linux_> ok
[12:13] <sercik> linux_: do beryl-manager
[12:13] <linux_> i just tryed one ok kde's 3d games just to test, it didnt run
[12:13] <sercik> if you have installed beryl-manager package and if not install it
[12:13] <linux_> it said i had no 3d acceleration
[12:13] <crdlb> missmolotov, Exahertz?
[12:13] <sercik> go glxinfo | grep direct in konsole
[12:14] <crdlb> linux_, run: beryl-manager
[12:14] <crdlb> oh heh
[12:14] <sercik> hi crdlb: can you help me with nfs?
[12:14] <missmolotov> crdlb: that's kind of what i was guessing, but i don't really know what that means, or what the implcaition of that is
[12:14] <crdlb> sercik, nope :(
[12:14] <crdlb> missmolotov, you shouldn't overclock it so much? :D
[12:15] <linux_> i think beryl has crashed
[12:15] <missmolotov> it's not over clocked :/
[12:15] <sercik> someone? is pratic with nfs?
[12:15] <missmolotov> it's just a dell work machines i've tried to get kubuntu on!
[12:15] <linux_> cause i lost the task bars on top of all the windows
[12:15] <linux_> the windows cant move
[12:15] <crdlb> linux_, can you alt+drag windows?
[12:16] <linux_> yea :S
[12:16] <linux_> lol
[12:16] <crdlb> linux_, and the wobble?
[12:16] <crdlb> they*
[12:16] <sercik> linux if you a nvidia card you need to add an option to xorg.conf
[12:16] <linux_> yea
[12:16] <crdlb> linux_, right click on the jewel
[12:16] <crdlb> and click "reload window decorator"
[12:16] <linux_> ok
[12:16] <Guilty_as_Sin> how do you enable restricted drivers (nvidia) in kubuntu?  I knew how on gnome..
[12:17] <linux_> nothing happpened
[12:17] <RawSewage_> Kubuntu doesnt have the REstricted Drivers thing yet
[12:17] <Guilty_as_Sin> oic
[12:17] <RawSewage_> I think it will in Gutsy
[12:17] <dwidmann> Guilty_as_Sin: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-xconfig
[12:17] <crdlb> linux_, make sure you have the "emerald-themes" package installed
[12:17] <sercik> linux_: do kwin --replace
[12:17] <crdlb> sercik, ?
[12:18] <crdlb> Guilty_as_Sin, you can use nvidia-glx-new if your card is FX series or newer
[12:18] <Jucato> dwidmann: might want to install linux-restricted-modules-generic ias well
[12:18] <Guilty_as_Sin> just add new to nividia-glx-???
[12:18] <linux_> Kwin Fatal IO error client killed
[12:19] <linux_> do u think cause beryl is still running?
[12:19] <Guilty_as_Sin> or is it a different command all-to-gether?
[12:19] <Jucato> linux_: you can't have 2 window managers (beryl and kwin) running at the same time
[12:19] <Guilty_as_Sin> it is Fx series
[12:19] <sercik> but with --replace yes
[12:20] <linux_> :S
[12:20] <sercik> linux_: do the command sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[12:20] <crdlb> sercik, no
[12:20] <sercik> this adds the correct line to your xorg.conf
[12:20] <crdlb> he's not on nvidia
[12:20] <linux_> im on ati
[12:20] <sercik> then restart X
[12:20] <linux_> Ok
[12:20] <crdlb> linux_, don't
[12:20] <sercik> crdlb: which is your problem?
[12:21] <crdlb> what?
[12:21] <sercik> linux_: doesn't have a nvidia card?
[12:21] <crdlb> correct
[12:21] <crdlb> he has a radeon 9600
[12:21] <sercik> i have a nvidia card and that solution works for me
[12:21] <crdlb> and he doesn't
[12:21] <sercik> ah ut i have asked him for a nvidia
[12:21] <Guilty_as_Sin> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && sudo nvidia-xconfig   correct?
[12:22] <crdlb> Guilty_as_Sin, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new linux-generic && sudo nvidia-xconfig
[12:22] <linux_> shall i stop beryl and restart it?
[12:22] <sercik> i don't know ati i will not speak anymore... sorry!
[12:22] <crdlb> that covers all your bases
[12:22] <Guilty_as_Sin> thanks
[12:22] <crdlb> linux_, sudo apt-get install emerald-themes
[12:22] <crdlb> make sure that's installed
[12:23] <linux_> its downloading them
[12:23] <linux_> woo!
[12:23] <linux_> i have it back
[12:23] <linux_> nice one dude
[12:23] <linux_> Im gona log this convo for future use.
[12:24] <linux_> crdlb: many thanks
[12:24] <linux_> one thing i dont know beryl comands
[12:24] <linux_> like to change screens
[12:24] <malik__> what software shud i use if i need to convert real audio file into mp3 format?
[12:24] <crdlb> linux_, try: ctrl+alt+mouse_drag :D
[12:24] <RawSewage_> mplayer
[12:24] <linux_> wow
[12:25] <linux_> id thaught that would be jumpy
[12:25] <linux_> lol
[12:25] <RawSewage_> mplayer can convert ra to mp3
[12:25] <linux_> crdlb: i just send the windows all back, how did i do that it was a mistake
[12:25] <linux_> hehe
[12:25] <malik__> RawSewage_: how do i do that with mplayer?
[12:26] <RawSewage_> malik__: Im on the Live CD now, so I dont have the command handy
[12:26] <crdlb> linux_, this is a good reference to all the plugins: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Plugins
[12:26] <linux_> thanks :)
[12:27] <linux_> you know some people
[12:27] <RawSewage_> I can tell you in a little bit though
[12:27] <linux_> minamze and have fire
[12:27] <linux_> is that compiz
[12:27] <linux_> and not beryl
[12:28] <RawSewage_> malik__: actually, I convert ra to wav first, then convert it to ogg after Im done editing out the commercials
[12:28] <malik__> RawSewage_:  thats oki but i cant see any options in mplayer to do that
[12:28] <crdlb> linux_, that's beryl
[12:29] <RawSewage_> I think its something like   mplayer -ao pcm:file blah blah
[12:29] <RawSewage_> I cant remember offhand
[12:29] <missmolotov> odder and odder if you do lshw and lshw -html they give different results
[12:30] <linux_> ohh
[12:30] <linux_> and thats a plugin?
[12:30] <G3NESIS> Can someone please help me. I'm trying to enter super user mode using "su -p" but it says my password is wrong.
[12:31] <Jucato> !sudo | G3NESIS
[12:31] <ubotu> G3NESIS: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:31] <crdlb> linux_, it's part of the visual effects>animation
[12:31] <crdlb> plugin
[12:31] <crdlb> linux_, it's called the "burn" effect
[12:31] <RawSewage_> malik__:  you use mplayer in the konsole
[12:31] <RawSewage_> malik__: to convert
[12:32] <RawSewage_> actually, I have it set to where I just double click an .ra file and it automatically convert it to wav
[12:32] <malik__> RawSewage_: dont knoiw hot to do that, might try it laters then, thanx for trying anyways
[12:33] <RawSewage_> ok
[12:33] <rowenthedark> How do I change screen resolution?
[12:33] <dwidmann> perhaps 'mencoder -oac mp3lame FILE' would work also
[12:34] <Jucato> rowenthedark: System Settings -> Monitor & Display
[12:34] <m_tadeu> hi...can anyone please tell me where to find the hardware detection application?
[12:35] <rowenthedark> jucato: no such entry.
[12:35] <dwidmann> rowenthedark: do you have "kdeguidance" installed?
[12:35] <Jucato> rowenthedark: what do you mean? K Menu -> System Settings (the application)
[12:35] <Jucato> not the System menu in K Menu
[12:37] <rowenthedark> jucato: then which system menu?
[12:37] <Jucato> rowenthedark: not a menu. the "System Settings" app
[12:38] <rowenthedark> jucato okay
[12:38] <Jucato> It's just below Utilities, above Find Files & Folders
[12:42] <rowenthedark> jucato found it, but no display option.
[12:42] <Jucato> Monitor& Display is the name
[12:42] <rowenthedark> It isn't there.
[12:42] <bentob0x> what's the best software to view quicktime files?
[12:42] <Jucato> rowenthedark: ok, check if you have "kde-guidance" installed
[12:42] <rowenthedark> jucato: That could have been the problem.
[12:42] <rowenthedark> jucato: If I change my resolution to 1024x768 on widescreen will it fill up the whole screen still?
[12:43] <Jucato> um I guess so
[12:43] <Jucato> don't really know. I don't have widescreen
[12:44] <rowenthedark> jucato: Okay. Installed kde-guidance but still no monitor in settings.
[12:44] <Jucato> rowenthedark: ok, press Alt+F2, type in "displayconfig"
[12:45] <rowenthedark> Great
[12:45] <rowenthedark> That did it,
[12:46] <rowenthedark> jucato: Now all my drive icons are gone.
[12:47] <rowenthedark> brb
[12:48] <rowenthedark> jucato: thanks for the help. :)
[12:53] <FSHero> Hello all; I have a problem...
[12:53] <pvandewyngaerde> when booting i get error " apt not installed type apt-get install alt to get it"
[12:54] <iarwain_> anyone know something about dvd::rip and subtitles? got a strange problem..
[12:54] <FSHero> ... my computer does not automatically shut down; I have to manually press the power button.
[12:55] <G3NESIS> Can someone help me please Help. How do I configure startup applications?
[12:55] <FSHero> Is there any way to make my comp shut down without me having to press the power button? Atm, I see the black bar of Kubuntu fill, and my hard disk 'click' ominously, but no automatic shutdown occurs.
[12:55] <Jucato> !autostart | G3NESIS
[12:55] <ubotu> G3NESIS: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
[12:57] <G3NESIS> Thanks Jucato. I should just do commands when I ever need info.
[12:57] <bentob0x> anybody knows how to run quicktime movies through your browser?
[12:57] <FSHero> G3NESIS: I use Xfce too, as well as KDE. Will that autostart programs in Xfce?
[12:58] <Jucato> FSHero: no. GNOME, KDE, and Xfce have different autostart mechanisms
[12:58] <FSHero> Jucato: aha. nm
[12:59] <Jucato> bentob0x: iirc, libxine-extracodecs will let you play those
[01:00] <bentob0x> going to look for that, thx Jucato
[01:04] <FSHero> Just quickly, how do you check, from the command line, whether you have a package installed?
[01:19] <LinuxApe> ClamTk claims it doesn't have virus definitions and suggests using freshclam to get them, but when I click help->UpdateSignatures, it tells me my virus information is up-to-date.  Any fix?
[01:29] <Medvebocs_> hi
[01:43] <fab_> hallo
[01:45] <ardchoille> Bot, this channel died real quick.
[01:45] <ardchoille> *Boy
[01:47] <FSHero> where has everybody gone? (lunch?)
[01:48] <FSHero> A sort-of off-topic question, but: if Sun has released Java under the GPL, how come it isn't put on the K/X/Ubuntu CDs?
[01:50] <Dragnslcr> It probably will be in the (somewhat) near future
[01:53] <FSHero> Dragnslcr: cool!
[02:00] <rowenthedark> Beryl and superkaramba won't run at the same time? or do they need to be loaded in a certain order?
[02:06] <rowenthedark> Correction of previous question: Beryl has to load first then superkaramba. :)
[02:07] <rowenthedark> Now how can I load beryl and superkaramba with all my widgets when kde starts?
[02:17] <opticyclic> rowenthedark: you should be able to. I am set up that way, although I cant tell you exactly what I did :)
[02:18] <opticyclic> have you set beryl as the default window manager?
[02:19] <rowenthedark> opticyclic: No don't know how to set beryl as default window manager
[02:20] <rowenthedark> opticyclic: Come to think of it preloading beryl would be a great help. Superkaramba I can load after that manually I guess.
[02:21] <pawitp> I'm finding KVM extremely slow for some reason
[02:22] <Young_Druid> hi, all. can anyone suggest why vpn connection is enabled only 0.9 minutes? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25228/
[02:25] <mikkael> i need some help: when i boot my system i get "mounting local filesystems" -> "failed" .. where can i see what is going wrong ?
[02:27] <DJServers> is there a command in konsole to format one of my harddisks ?
[02:27] <DJServers> i need to do that
[02:27] <DJServers> !harddisk
[02:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about harddisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:29] <Dragnslcr> !fdisk
[02:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <mikkael> DJServers: Try QTParted or GParted
[02:31] <mikkael> !qtparted
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qtparted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <mikkael> :)
[02:31] <tazz> do we have a tool to configure ipaddress in kubuntu?
[02:31] <DJServers> hi
[02:32] <ardchoille> FSHero: For one thing, once a version of ubuntu is released, the repos don't get new software.. only security updates and bug fixes.
[02:32] <DJServers> how can i format my harddisk? one of them?
[02:33] <ardchoille> !format
[02:33] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[02:33] <DJServers> is there some cind of command for console?
[02:34] <mikkael> didnt you read? mkfs
[02:34] <DJServers> !find | mkfs
[02:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about find - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:34] <opticyclic> rowenthedark: can you right click on the Emerald and set the default manager from there? Is there an option in the session manager as you login? I'm not at my linux box at the mo so I cant give exact info
[02:35] <DJServers> !info | mkfs
[02:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:35] <Jucato> DJServers: that's not how to use it
[02:35] <Jucato> !find mkfs
[02:35] <DJServers> o lol :P
[02:35] <ubotu> File mkfs found in gfs-tools, gfs2-tools, jfsutils, util-linux
[02:35] <DJServers> !Gparted
[02:35] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:35] <ardchoille> Probably util-linux
[02:35] <Jucato> DJServers: mkfs is already installed anyway.
[02:35] <Jucato> no, it's there by default afaik
[02:35] <DJServers> o where can i find it?
[02:36] <ardchoille> man mkfs
[02:36] <Jucato> er.. type it in the command line :)
[02:36] <ardchoille> It should already be installed
[02:36] <Jucato> or do what ardchoille said to find out the specifics
[02:36] <DJServers> o yeah
[02:36] <DJServers> i typted in console man mkfs
[02:37] <DJServers> can i format one of my harddisks with that?
[02:37] <ardchoille> DJServers: And if you need to partition, there's fdisk.. but that's one of those things where a gui is kinda handy (qtparted)
[02:38] <DJServers> but with what program can i format a hole harddisk?
[02:38] <ardchoille> mkfs
[02:38] <ardchoille> That builds a Linux file system
[02:38] <DJServers> but how i dont get it :P
[02:39] <ardchoille> You'll need to read the man page for the specific options
[02:39] <ardchoille> I've never used mkfs, I always use qtparted to format partitions
[02:40] <DJServers> not format partitions the hole disk
[02:40] <tanaka> hi all
[02:41] <ardchoille> DJServers: A disk is broken up into partitions, each partition has a file system. You don't mount devices, you mount file systems. If you want to format the entire disk, you just need to format the partitions on the disk or create new partitions
[02:41] <DJServers> but how thats the thing i dont understand
[02:41] <ardchoille> You'll need to read the man page for the specific options
[02:42] <t0vig> has anyone played with source compiling all their packages?
[02:42] <DJServers> i did that already but i dont under stand it
[02:42] <DJServers> !format
[02:42] <ardchoille> t0vig: Why would you want to do that? compiling everything would take days.
[02:42] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[02:43] <DJServers> !GParted
[02:43] <t0vig> ardchoille: Because Gentoo runs almost 2x's faster on my slow PC
[02:43] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:43] <t0vig> ardchoille: I was thinking about hacking adept to do it
[02:43] <opticyclic> Which channel is discussing UI improvements, graphics/colours etc?
[02:44] <ardchoille> t0vig: I don't know, I gave up compiling when I discovered Ubuntu in 2004, lol
[02:44] <Jucato> opticyclic: for what?
[02:45] <opticyclic> suggestions for default Kubuntu wallpaper themes etc
[02:46] <ardchoille> opticyclic: Have you tried http://www.kde-look.org  ?
[02:46] <t0vig> ardchoille: obviously, it would have no *mass* appeal, it's just won of those "because it COULD be done" things ;-)
[02:46] <opticyclic> I know how to change stuff, I just want the default changed :)
[02:46] <tanaka> whats the correct way of installing the newest nvidia drivers from the nvidia site.I instlalled build-essentials and installed the driver,but it failed last time(i am using a freshly installed os /w 2.6.20-16 kernel)
[02:46] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[02:47] <ardchoille> opticyclic: Wnat some pneguins on ur desktop?
[02:47] <Jucato> opticyclic: want? I don't think it will be easy to get defaults changed just because you *want* too :)
[02:47] <BluesKaj> tanaka, how did it fail , the installation or implementation ?
[02:47] <opticyclic> I want to suggest something and see what others think
[02:47] <opticyclic> Dont you think the default KDM is too pale?
[02:47] <Jucato> opticyclic: which part
[02:48] <tanaka> BluesKaj: kde didn't load after reboot
[02:48] <opticyclic> let me dig up a screenshot
[02:48] <Jucato> opticyclic: #ubuntu-artwork
[02:48] <Jucato> opticyclic: no need for a screenshot. just w/c part of the screen?
[02:48] <Jucato> because the background is the same as the wallpaper, and so is the logo
[02:48] <ardchoille> opticyclic: It has to be kinda "bland", otherwise you'd have to appeal to everyone and I don't think millions of wallpapers would fit in the kde release
[02:48] <BluesKaj> ok tanaka , did you try the startx command at the prompt ?
[02:49] <BluesKaj> or startkde
[02:49] <tanaka> BluesKaj: startx worked just after the install(before restart)
[02:49] <Jucato> tanaka: any reason you don't want to use the packaged nvidia drivers?
[02:50] <opticyclic> OK here is an example of it being too pale http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/scaled/Kubuntu%207.10%20Alpha%201/3.gif
[02:51] <BluesKaj> tanaka, so what is the pc doing in right now ?
[02:51] <ardchoille> opticyclic: Ok, you know you can grab one of the gdm themes in /usr/share/gdm/themes and change the colours or images, right?
[02:51] <rjune__> Is there a repository for "testing" packages?
[02:51] <BluesKaj> err doing right now
[02:51] <Jucato> opticyclic: I still can't see what is too pail
[02:51] <Jucato> pale
[02:52] <Jucato> rjune__: what do you mean by "testing"
[02:52] <tanaka> Jucato: i think the latest 100.14.9 is still not packaged
[02:52] <rjune__> Jucato: I mean a repository for stuff that is unstable, but should probably work
[02:52] <Jucato> !backports
[02:52] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[02:52] <ardchoille> rjune__: I think the closest thing would be backports
[02:52] <tanaka> BluesKaj: I reinstalled the system
[02:52] <BluesKaj> rjune__, search here : http://www.google.com/linux
[02:52] <opticyclic> compare it to this screenshot http://amitshah.bizhat.com/images/kde-3.5alpha1.png
[02:53] <opticyclic> it is much more of a bolder blue
[02:53] <Jucato> rjune__: but Ubuntu doesn't have the stable/testing/unstable setup of Debian.
[02:53] <DJServers> !theme
[02:53] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy

[02:53] <ubotu> To change your themes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[02:53] <Jucato> opticyclic: I believe you are not comparing the kdm theme. you are comparing wallpapers
[02:53] <ardchoille> opticyclic: That's what I meant, you can easily make your own themes and wallpapers
[02:54] <rjune__> I was hoping to find prebuilt packages of egroupware. I'm assuming that major revs don't get bumped during a release, ya?
[02:54] <Jucato> rjune__: if they do get bumped, they either end up in -updates or most probably -backports.
[02:54] <Jucato> but that's not an absolute
[02:54] <zipper> damn
[02:54] <opticyclic> I couldn't find a KDM theme screenshot, but the colours in those two are a comparison
[02:54] <zipper> wine has become pretty nice
[02:55] <opticyclic> I think Kubuntu needs a bolder default theme to impress new users
[02:55] <Jucato> opticyclic: besides, that's not pale blue. that's purple. it was meant to be that way, not pale blue
[02:55] <Jucato> you can argue all you want in #ubuntu-artwork if you want. good luck
[02:55] <Jucato> (bluish purple)
[02:55] <opticyclic> is there a kubuntu artwork?
[02:55] <ardchoille> lol
[02:56] <BluesKaj> I just use a pic of a painting done by my great uncle on the family farm, as wallpaper no need for penguins to remind me I'm using linux
[02:56] <Jucato> would I have given you #ubuntu-artwork if there's a #kubuntu-artwork?
[02:56] <opticyclic> :-[
[02:56] <Jucato> (and I've given it twice...)
[02:57] <rowenthedark> How does one change the mounted drive icons. IE why dont i have permision?
[02:57] <Jucato> !irc | opticyclic

[02:57] <BluesKaj> all this gnasshing of teeth over the colour purple :)
[02:57] <Jucato> opticyclic: there's a list of IRC channels ^^^
[02:57] <rowenthedark> opticyclic: Thank you
[02:57] <rjune__> Jucato: thanks.
[02:58] <BluesKaj> the forgot to include #tovid
[02:59] <Jucato> include it where?
[02:59] <BluesKaj> in th freenode list
[03:00] <Jucato> heh not my concern :P
[03:00] <BluesKaj> I know
[03:00] <BluesKaj> :)
[03:00] <BluesKaj> just tried safari for windows ... very plainjane , but very fast too
[03:01] <ubunturos> konqueror might be faster ;)
[03:02] <Jucato> except that it doesn't exist for windows, so the argument is moot :)
[03:03] <BluesKaj> been trying to figure out a way to get wife off windows but since her fav Solitaire game isn't available in Linux i was wondeing if the exe file will run in wine without a windows parition ?
[03:03] <pawitp> Alot of things run in wine without a windows partition
[03:03] <agn0stic> BluesKaj: What solitaire game?  Like a really specific solitare game
[03:03] <BluesKaj> yes
[03:03] <BluesKaj> hang on
[03:04] <pawitp> I'd think using a windows partition is really opsolete
[03:04] <ardchoille> pawitp: Including windows viruses, trojans, worms, etc.
[03:04] <Jucato> pawitp: huh? wine never required a windows partition, ever.
[03:04] <pawitp> Long ago it needed alot of win98 libs
[03:04] <pawitp> and it's best run with a win98 partition
[03:05] <pawitp> ardchoille: Why would you want to run those? Alot will fail though since holes in windows usually doesn't exists in wine
[03:05] <BluesKaj> yeah, It's the Goodsol development CD with "Pretty Good Solitaire"
[03:05] <ardchoille> pawitp: Wanna bet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598
[03:06] <ardchoille> pawitp: Here's another :)  http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=146
[03:06] <rowenthedark> Hello again. I would like to change my drive icons, but kde says i dont have permission. How would I go about this?
[03:08] <BluesKaj> pawitp, since we still need to deal with foreign country documentation for me and the kids etc we need a scanning app that works properly and kooka doesn't have the adjustments to make good existing copies of those documents .
[03:08] <BluesKaj> hence: the windows partiton , mainly for scanning
[03:10] <BluesKaj> and our friend to the south (mr bush) i making it more difficult to cross the border
[03:13] <pawitp> BluesKaj: I thought you're talking about windows partition for wine
[03:19] <JuJuBee> I need some help recompiling squid.  I know what options I need, but never recompiled something to install.  I have always used precompiled binaries.
[03:35] <sito> hellow?
[03:35] <sito> a programa similar of spacemonger for linux?
[03:35] <Tm_T> sito: how about telling us what this "spacemonger" does?
[03:35] <ardchoille> sito: What does it do?
[03:36] <Jucato> what is spacemonger? :)
[03:36] <sito> mmm
[03:37] <sito> http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php
[03:37] <ardchoille> sito: There is a file manager that does that, but I can't remember the name. Perhaps: apt-cache search file manager
[03:39] <sito> ok!!
[03:39] <sito> kdirstat!!
[03:39] <sito> this name is kdirstat :D
[03:39] <Jucato> sito: actually, Konqueror already has that feature built-in
[03:39] <Jucato> View menu -> View Mode -> File Size View
[03:40] <ardchoille> There are others too, there are also 3d file managers.. one of them lays out the fs like a universe and you can "fly" through it :)
[03:40] <Jucato> then there's even Filelight for fancier effects
[03:40] <Jucato> !filelight
[03:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about filelight - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:40] <Jucato> er.. sorry...
[03:40] <Jucato> !info filelight
[03:40] <ardchoille> Jucato: fileflight is the one I was thinking of
[03:40] <ubotu> filelight: show where your diskspace is being used. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99beta6-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 317 kB, installed size 856 kB
[03:40] <Tm_T> Jucato: actually after installing filelight, Konqueror has tha viewmode too ;)
[03:41] <Jucato> Tm_T: yes. but I discovered one peculiarity...
[03:41] <Tm_T> yes?
[03:41] <Jucato> but it's an advanced setup so it's not biggie
[03:41] <rowenthedark> I am back I told the desktop configure to not display devices, yet my hard disk mounts are still visible why?
[03:42] <Jucato> Tm_T: btw, it seems that my telco doesn't allow some internet services through gprs... like IRC :(
[03:42] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: harddisk is not device in that sense I think
[03:42] <Tm_T> Jucato: haha =)
[03:42] <sito> ula
[03:42] <Tm_T> Jucato: cut ports?
[03:42] <Jucato> Tm_T: someone told me of SSH... but since I don't know how... I'm putting it off until the next time I need it :)
[03:42] <rowenthedark> tm_t is there a way to make them go away besides unmounting them?
[03:43] <Tm_T> Jucato: well, I can do ssh account to my system, so you just log in and run irssi here
[03:43] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: not showing icons at all?
[03:43] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: or, look other options, dunno
[03:43] <Jucato> rowenthedark: uncheck the Mounted Hard Disk Volume, click Apply, then uncheck the Show device icons.
[03:44] <Jucato> that's all in the right-click Configure Desktop -> Behavior options -> Device Icons tab
[03:44] <rowenthedark> jucato: still there.
[03:45] <Jucato> Tm_T: quick question about that ssh.. does that mean I need to have my desktop up and running too?
[03:45] <Jucato> Tm_T: so that I would have to SSH into my desktop to be able to IRC on my laptop?
[03:45] <Tm_T> Jucato: err, well, you need ssh server running in server end
[03:45] <Jucato> pft... :(
[03:45] <Jucato> not an option then...
[03:46] <Tm_T> Jucato: well, as said, I can add account in my pc
[03:46] <Jucato> hehe thanks. but I'll try to find an alternative first. :)
[03:46] <Jucato> when I'm desperate again... :)
[03:46] <Tm_T> Jucato: but gprs is hell slow with ssh, you know, 1-10 second delay with typing etc
[03:47] <rowenthedark> I guess i could unmount and remount maybe.
[03:47] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: worth of trying
[03:47] <Jucato> Tm_T: definitely faster than CGI IRC.. plus I would be able to connect here :)
[03:47] <Tm_T> haha
[03:47] <Tm_T> true
[03:47] <Jucato> and GPRS is better than no internet at all :)
[03:47] <Jucato> but just you wait, once I get this wireless card fixed...
[03:47] <Tm_T> definately
[03:47] <Tm_T> Jucato: well, I was with gprs almost two months
[03:48] <Tm_T> and wasn't first time it was my only connection
[03:48] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: it isnt mounted by hal so unmount doesnt work.
[03:49] <Tm_T> hm
[03:49] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: use umount from shell
[03:49] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: what is the syntax of it?
[03:50] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: umount /device or /mountpoint
[03:50] <Tm_T> rowenthedark: umount --help ;)
[03:54] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: icons are still there
[03:54] <Tm_T> fun
[03:54] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: I know
[03:55] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: Oh well.
[03:55] <Tm_T> glad I don't need desktop icons <3
[03:56] <BluesKaj> <--- old windows user ...I need 'em
[03:56] <Jucato> Tm_T: maybe you'll be using "icons" once aseigo's plans for Plasma are fulfilled :)
[03:58] <rowenthedark> Tm_T: weird seems the icons are physical drive representations.
[03:58] <Jucato> BluesKaj: Plasma is a sort of rethinking of the old desktop metaphor, which includes desktop icons. iirc, he wants to make them more dynamic and add other stuff
[03:58] <BluesKaj> must be talking about games again, eh Jucato ?
[03:59] <Jucato> he's not a fan of the existing implementation of desktop icons either
[03:59] <Jucato> BluesKaj: what in the world are you talking about?
[03:59] <BluesKaj> err dynamic is a word that is used in many contexts...
[03:59] <Jucato> well it's all pretty vague at the moment
[03:59] <BluesKaj> Jucato, i thot Plasma was a game
[04:00] <Jucato> again,  what in the world are you talking about? ;)
[04:00] <BluesKaj> don't ask me why either :)
[04:00] <BluesKaj> yeah, maybe too
[04:01] <BluesKaj> is there a newsletter ?
[04:01] <Jucato> http://dot.kde.org
[04:01] <Tm_T> Jucato: I won't
[04:01] <^RiaN^> gunbound on linux
[04:01] <Jucato> Tm_T: who knows... I'm not a desktop icon user myself, but who knows... :)
[04:02] <Tm_T> Jucato: I won't
[04:02] <Jucato> oh well... time to go back to reality :)
[04:02] <Jucato> ok ok, I get the message :)
[04:02] <Tm_T> Jucato: I won't
[04:03] <Jucato> hmph
[04:03] <Jucato> anyway, I'm gone
[04:03] <Tm_T> Jucato: I wooooooooowww
[04:03] <Jucato> bot script not working properly? :)
[04:03] <Tm_T> ok, now it's settled
[04:03] <Tm_T> script?
[04:03] <Tm_T> I'm not a script!
[04:06] <marko> ubotu,
[04:07] <hendra11279> hi all
[04:09] <hendra11279> i have problem with stellarium in kubuntu feisty,i can't read the text ,the text write in symbol like this --.----. can anyone help me ?pls
[04:13] <ubuntu__> hey
[04:22] <zipper> anyone know where to find a wine help channel?
[04:22] <zipper> or have anyone inhere had any luck with running the Overlord Demo in wine?
[04:22] <rowenthedark> Yay, They went away.
[04:23] <zipper> what? The voices in my head? No, they're still there.
[04:23] <Jucato> zipper: #winehq
[04:24] <zipper> thx
[04:24] <Dr_willis> Hmm - heres a sick idea...    wine SafariSetup.exe
[04:24] <Dr_willis> :) lets see if it works.
[04:24] <rowenthedark> Hehehe
[04:25] <Dr_willis> I never have figured out how they benchmark browsers to show they are 'faster' then others...
[04:25] <Dr_willis> Faster downloading? faster just rendering? faster at getting the porn?
[04:25] <rowenthedark> Okay, here's a dumb question. Why is it on my desktop that windows always has memory read errors, but linux never does?
[04:26] <jzilla> becuase
[04:26] <Dr_willis> rowenthedark,  hmm.. ya may want to open up the pc, dust it out, reseat the memory, and run that memorytest progtram from the grub entry for a few hrs to test the mem.
[04:26] <jzilla> linux >
[04:26] <rowenthedark> Dr_willis: Not a bad idea thanks.
[04:28] <rowenthedark> Also I never noticed how hard it can be to customize a desktop like KDE.
[04:28] <Dr_willis> Darn the SafariSetup.exe Hung.
[04:28] <rowenthedark> :( sniff
[04:28] <Dr_willis> Customize in what way?
[04:28] <Jucato> !changethemes | rowenthedark
[04:28] <ubotu> rowenthedark: To change your themes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[04:28] <Dr_willis> kde has a lot of features that are accessed with various config files., then ya could alwyas just change the windowmanater
[04:29] <Dr_willis> windowmanager
[04:29] <rowenthedark> Add stuff, like karamba, beryl, change the way things behave. Must be 5000 things you can change in there.
[04:29] <Jucato> well, beryl isn't exactly KDE, so that's a different topic...
[04:29] <rowenthedark> Yeah, but that was the easiest.
[04:30] <Dr_willis> well beryl is still a work in progress..
[04:30] <Jucato> about superkaramba, it's all about finding the theme that performs properly
[04:30] <Dr_willis> and Karamba is considered.. well..  i wont say. :)
[04:30] <rowenthedark> Oh can anybody think of why I have to enable networking on my primary account (GNOME) for it to work in KDE?
[04:30] <Dr_willis> beryl has so many options in its control panel thing. its scary.
[04:30] <Dr_willis> rowenthedark,  wireless?
[04:31] <rowenthedark> Dr_willis: Yes.
[04:31] <Dr_willis> No idea there. :) ive given up on wireless. heh.. for now.
[04:31] <Dr_willis> theres proberly the kde wireless tools you need to configure.
[04:31] <Dr_willis> at leat it works in gnome for ya.  So thats a good sign.
[04:32] <rowenthedark> Dr_willis: I would have too, but my wireless works pretty well out of the box, just like beryl.
[04:32] <Minataku> Heya, Dr_willis
[04:32] <rowenthedark> <-- remembers broadcom wireless hell.
[04:32] <Minataku> Heh, I'm lucky enough to have a computer old enough to have a completely wide-open wireless chipset
[04:33] <Minataku> Specifically, orinoco_cs
[04:33] <Dr_willis> rowenthedark,  im suprised at the statement "beryl/wireless  + works pretty well " :)
[04:33] <FSHero> ardchoille: A belated (by 2 hours) thanks for the answer.
[04:33] <Minataku> In-kernel driver, fully open-source, fully open-spec, never a problem whatsoever.
[04:33] <Dr_willis> Hay Minataku. :)
[04:33] <Minataku> But then my computer is from around 2003
[04:33] <rowenthedark> dr willis: I installed and everything came up right away. I was suprised.
[04:33] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  its just so old it only does Wep? :)
[04:34] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Bingo
[04:34] <Minataku> None of this WPA bullcrap
[04:34] <Minataku> Which is also completely trivial to crack
[04:34] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  I got a similer thing..  My router has a 'block based on MAC' - wonder how safe that is.
[04:34] <rowenthedark> But can't wep be sniffed?
[04:34] <Minataku> rowenthedark: ANY signal transmitted via radio can be sniffed
[04:34] <FSHero> Minataku: so, does that mean that even the best security system for wireless networks is insecure?
[04:35] <Dr_willis> Perhaps the wireless-N cards will get their acts together.
[04:35] <Minataku> For that matter, any signal transmitted via WIRE can be sniffed
[04:35] <rowenthedark> Wireless N Hahahahahaha
[04:35] <Dr_willis> haxor the Pomeriannai!
[04:35] <Minataku> Wiretapping has the advantage of requiring physical access to the actual line
[04:35] <Minataku> As for sniffing wireless, all you need to do is be close enough to the area
[04:36] <Minataku> Remember, radio signals radiate out more or less spherically
[04:36] <rowenthedark> And linux happens to have the tools. :)
[04:36] <Minataku> As long as you have all the equipment within this sphere, you can access it given proper tools
[04:36] <c1|freaky> someone knows how to install a console font which is allready in /usr/share/consolefonts ? i want to install the matrix font for cmatrix
[04:37] <rowenthedark> Kind of makes me paranoid about my wireless security.
[04:37] <Minataku> rowenthedark: When I get my own place, no wireless.
[04:37] <ardchoille> FSHero: You're welcome :)
[04:37] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  that reminds me. Seen any easy to build wirless antannas  - directional. got a friend with 2 houses about 300 ft apart he wants to set up a wireless network on.
[04:37] <Minataku> I've already made that decision.
[04:37] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Can style
[04:37] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  or any decent antanas allready made/kits.
[04:37] <Minataku> Similar to a satellite dish
[04:37] <Dr_willis> Yea. cantannas would be good.   glue a laser pointer to the top. :) let him aim at each other.
[04:38] <Minataku> Yep
[04:38] <Minataku> That should do it
[04:38] <andri> need help!! how to install mp3 codec in kubuntu feisty?
[04:38] <rowenthedark> Hmmmm.... Then again there are a HUGE number of people who dont even protect thier wireless network.
[04:38] <andri> i'm newbie
[04:38] <Dr_willis> Hes a 'perfectionist' freak however. so he wants somthing that looks good.
[04:38] <Minataku> Radio not my field of Comp Eng Tech, but I know that much about it
[04:38] <Dr_willis> !mp3
[04:38] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:38] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Then suggest only the ugliest possible solutions
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  hes been websurfing and finding all these business style solutions.. he cant underatand he just needs 2 decent antannas.
[04:39] <Minataku> That's not "perfectionism" that's someone who's idiotically attached to asthetics
[04:39] <rowenthedark> hehehe
[04:39] <ardchoille> lol
[04:39] <Minataku> Function over form. No exceptions.
[04:39] <andri> thanks ubotu
[04:39] <Minataku> Make it work well first and foremost.
[04:39] <Minataku> Once that's done, then you can make it look good
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  speaking of Function over form.. Tried to 'wine Safarisetup.exe' :) it dident work.
[04:40] <Minataku> Provided it doesn't interfere with function
[04:40] <soulrider> andri: ubotu is a bot, no need to thank him, you can give him a snack though
[04:40] <rowenthedark> :( Sniff
[04:40] <soulrider> !botsnack
[04:40] <ubotu> Yum!  Those calculators? Other awesome "junk"?
[04:42] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  found the calculators. Several Ti's
[04:42] <Minataku> Dr_willis: In that case, find an old metal trash can >:D
[04:42] <ardchoille> balaji: mksiofs is what you're after. Perhaps man mkisofs will give you some clues
[04:42] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Sweet! Models? :D
[04:42] <rowenthedark> <-is through whining about it now.
[04:42] <Dr_willis> found my old hp 28s - you cant have it. :) i survived college with it. heh heh..
[04:43] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Heehee, sentimental value, I understand :3
[04:43] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  so far i think 3 of them are the same as that other TI i told ya .. One is some RadioShack. other is a ti99 or somthing. LCD. so its newer
[04:43] <Minataku> Cool
[04:43] <Dr_willis> I though i had some HP's but cant find them.
[04:43] <Minataku> Well, if you have them near or when you get a chance, PM me the model numbers and I'll look 'em up
[04:44] <Dr_willis> Yea. they were the same Model # i mentioned last week. 3 identical Calculators.
[04:44] <Minataku> That way I can drool over pictures of them instead of all over them... XD
[04:44] <Dr_willis> then the 2 cheaper ones. Heh heh.
[04:44] <Minataku> By the time they arrive I should be out of drool X3
[04:45] <Dr_willis> Wife is still recovering. So ive not been out the the garrage yet.  ya need the Scsi Cable for that mac scsi drive?
[04:45] <Minataku> Yeah, I will
[04:45] <Dr_willis> not sure which one IS the scsi cable. :) its in a box.. Guess i will look and see what fits.
[04:45] <Dr_willis> they look much different from a serial cable heh.
[04:45] <Minataku> I'ma look into writing a program on my A/UX machine to maybe see if I can't harass via ioctls the FDC to write Amiga-class floppies
[04:45] <Minataku> It's MFM, it's just incredibly tight
[04:45] <andri> need help again... i have installed both compiz and beryl... but it always crashes when i run it
[04:46] <Minataku> The standard PC FDC can't write to them because it's way too tight on the media
[04:46] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  heh.  Ive always wanted one of those Wildcat controller cards that can use all the old floppy disks.
[04:46] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  but Thats overkill.
[04:46] <Minataku> But now that I know it's still regular old MFM, I can see if I can coerce either the Quadra 650 or one of my Suns to write Amiga floppies
[04:47] <Dr_willis> I do Thibnk i have some old MFM hard drives somewhere. real real old.
[04:47] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Awesome
[04:47] <Dr_willis> I wast hinking that apple/macs could read the amiga floppies somehow.
[04:47] <Minataku> I _believe_ that the Suns have a different FDC than PCs
[04:47] <Dr_willis> I also need to test out the Reading of the amiga hard drives under linux.
[04:47] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Technically, a PC _could_ read them
[04:47] <Minataku> Amiga floppies are MFM, not GCR
[04:47] <Dr_willis> Thats how i was going to transfer floppies over.. DMS them onthe amiga to its HD. then usbcable the hd to pc.
[04:48] <Minataku> PC floppies are also MFM, as are 1.44MB Mac floppies
[04:48] <Dr_willis> we need s Geos64 theme for kde. :)
[04:48] <Minataku> The only ones to use GCR were the Mac 400 and 800
[04:49] <Dr_willis> ill stick with emulators. :) less desk space.
[04:49] <Jucato> !offtopic
[04:49] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[04:49] <Minataku> As a matter of fact, it could be possible to force the drive to do it via Linux
[04:49] <balaji> hi blueskaj
[04:49] <Minataku> Though the Amiga used MFM, the format places sectors too close together for a standard IBM PC compatible floppy disk controller to read (appearing as one 5632-byte physical sector per track).
[04:50] <Dr_willis>  is it possible to run Konqeror on OS-X ?  Saw they got Safari for windows.
[04:50] <BluesKaj> hi balaji
[04:50] <Minataku> That would be the "intersector gap"
[04:50] <Dr_willis> once ya get Minataku  started on hardware........... :)
[04:50] <Minataku> However, if a floppy is formatted with a too small inter sector gap, perfor-       mance may drop, up to needing a few seconds to access an entire track.
[04:50] <ardchoille> Yeah, he won't shut up, lol
[04:50] <Minataku> Theoretically, Linux CAN write Amiga floppies... it'll just be incredibly slow
[04:50] <balaji> blueskaj:i somehow formatted the drive and installed ubuntu 7.04
[04:51] <BluesKaj> I've tried qemu and virtual box with no luck at all ...too thick headed to understand how to make them work
[04:51] <Dr_willis> Its just amazing when ya look at the pc's we used to have..  and what we got now a days.
[04:51] <Dr_willis> virtualbox is rather straight forwared.
[04:51] <Dr_willis> ive had issues with it and livecd's however.
[04:51] <BluesKaj> cool balaji ...hows it running for you ?
[04:52] <Minataku> I could try to use ufiformat, edit the source and such... that'd be pretty slick, but I'd have to wait for the Amigas to arrive to test it XD
[04:52] <balaji> fine but the thing is i've got kubuntu 6.10 and windows on my laptop harddrive
[04:52] <BluesKaj> well Dr_willis , I guess i just don't "get it " :)
[04:52] <soulrider> BluesKaj: vmware is very easy to use!
[04:52] <balaji> and the cpu always ries to boot from the USB
[04:52] <balaji> so gives me a bootloader error 21
[04:53] <Dr_willis> BlueEagle,  run virtual box, make a new machine, slect the hardware, give it an .iso file for the cdrom, and power it up
[04:53] <BluesKaj> soulrider, maybe easy to use , but installation never seems to work
[04:53] <soulrider> BluesKaj:  really? i never had problems with it
[04:53] <Dr_willis> the current vmware - had some issues under ubuntu. Not sure if the packages have been fixed by now or not.
[04:54] <soulrider> yeah Dr_willis i think it does have some issues with feisty
[04:54] <BluesKaj> bully for you soulrider ...dunno , just never seems to install...there's always a prob
[04:54] <soulrider> my friend managed to install it though... and hes a total linux newbie
[04:54] <BluesKaj> bully for your friend too :)
[04:55] <Dr_willis> soulrider,  there was some updated/tweak on the vmware forums i recall. :)
[04:55] <soulrider> are you sure you have the kernel headers and stuff ?
[04:56] <Dr_willis> bbl..
[04:59] <Minataku> Let's try this and pray I don't blow out my FDD XD
[05:04] <jobezone>  Hi, does kopete 0.12.4 (kubuntu 7.04) have suport for webcam with the msn protocol?
[05:06] <zipper> jobezone, havent tested, but yeah, there are buttons for webcam stuff
[05:06] <Minataku> Damn
[05:06] <zipper> jobezone, i think
[05:06] <zipper> jobezone, let me see
[05:06] <jobezone> yeah, I see them.
[05:06] <Minataku> "Protocol error"
[05:07] <Minataku> I need to pull out the machine with the real FDD I think
[05:07] <jobezone> but they just don't work :) I'm trying aMSN now.
[05:08] <zipper> jobezone, "MSN supports the sending and receiving of webcams, if your camera is supported by the Video4Linux 2 (v4l2) standard. "
[05:08] <jobezone> hmm..
[05:08] <jobezone> I wonder if it's a port thing, then
[05:09] <jobezone> the webcam works great in the configuration dialog.
[05:09] <SlicerDicer-> ping
[05:12] <pgquiles> Riddell: ping
[05:14] <Zs_262> hi
[05:15] <pbn> Hello, I'm having severe issues with kppp on Kubuntu 6.06 LTS. Does any of you folks have the same kind of problem ?
[05:15] <pbn> well basically pppd crashes everytime it is called by kppp ... could that be a problem in Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[05:15] <linux_> crdlb: you still there dude?
[05:19] <linux_> after rebooting linux i lost the window task bars again
[05:19] <linux_> and only dragable way to move windows then is with alt n drab
[05:19] <ardchoille> linux_: You in kde?
[05:19] <balaji> pbn do u use a wireless modem?
[05:19] <linux_> grab
[05:19] <linux_> yea
[05:19] <ardchoille> linux_: Oh, you mean the titlebar
[05:19] <linux_> yea
[05:19] <linux_> crdlb had me to do a apt-get command and got them back with beryl working
[05:19] <linux_> every time i run beryl they go.
[05:25] <jobezone> after opening the TCP+UDP port range of 17669-17679 , aMSN works with the webcam.. still haven't tested with kopete
[05:29] <Minataku> Hrm!
[05:29] <Minataku> "Double-sided, 80 tracks, 11 sec/track. Total capacity 880kB."
[05:30] <Minataku> And it seems to be working
[05:30] <Minataku> Verification partially failed
[05:33] <Ronnin> does anyone have any suggestions as to why HALD whould hang for a long time, eventually fail, then setup just hang afterward?  I am using a board with a SIS650 chipset running from known good CD
[05:33] <jbrouhard> heh
[05:33] <jbrouhard> i see kopete hasn't been fixed ;)
[05:35] <Minataku> Hm... it seems to be able to format them... theoretically... I'll have to test out the Mac with this
[05:35] <Minataku> See if it's FDC can't properly write such
[05:36] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  well one of the calculators is a Ti-30 :) . still looking for that scsi cable.. I keep finding OTHER things to  put in their right places..
[05:37] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  Found a bunch of C64 software stillin the original box. :) and some C64 cartriges heh
[05:37] <frojnd> hello there, does ubuntu has any game for two players to play agains each other?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> frojnd,  depends on the kind of game ya want.
[05:37] <Daisuke_Ido> frojnd: there are a lot...  armagetron is classic
[05:37] <frojnd> Dr_willis: hm, like bombermam
[05:38] <Dr_willis> Theres a biplane game that i like. 2d = old skool
[05:38] <frojnd> Dr_willis: hm, like cars
[05:38] <Dr_willis> !find bomberman
[05:38] <ubotu> Package/file bomberman does not exist in feisty
[05:38] <Dr_willis> Theres a bomberman clone out. But i dont rember its name
[05:38] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Cool
[05:39] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  if you want/need C64 stuff that is. :)
[05:39] <Minataku> Dr_willis: The PC FDC truly won't handle Amiga floppies, it just won't be corerced into it
[05:39] <frojnd> Dr_willis: any cars for two ?
[05:39] <Minataku> Dr_willis: Is it still shrinkwrapped?
[05:39] <Minataku> If not, toss it
[05:39] <Minataku> XD
[05:39] <frojnd> Dr_willis: like need for speed: porsche ?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  a lot of the games are. some Geos software also. the Cartridiges are not however.
[05:40] <ubuntu> monkey island?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> also found about 200lb of amiga tech/programming books.
[05:40] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:40] <Minataku> Heh
[05:40] <Minataku> It's a constant battle between awesome stuff and prohibitive shipping costs XD
[05:41] <Dr_willis> which reminds of my lifelong  goal in learning C.. then realizing that I dont need to learn C to do what i need.
[05:41] <Dr_willis> Minataku,  the stuff aint going anywhere here.. other then into better sorted box's heh.
[05:41] <Dr_willis> I may drag out a C64 however. :) i can Multi-task the monitor  so it wont take up much space/
[05:42] <Minataku> Heehee
[05:42] <Dr_willis> I rember why i love the SmallFormFactor pc's but i never can actually USE one.
[05:43] <Minataku> If you're willing to send a C64 and parts, that's fine by me XD
[05:47] <marckie> hello!
[05:47] <marckie> a newbie here...
[05:47] <marckie> im using kubuntu!

[05:47] <Tm_T> !botabuse
[05:47] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[05:47] <Tm_T> <3
[05:47] <Minataku> Two commands is hardly abuse :P
[05:47] <Tm_T> it's not
[05:47] <Dr_willis> !elvis
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about elvis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <Tm_T> but better to warn before it goes to that point
[05:47] <Dr_willis> well back to the Garrage...
[05:47] <Dr_willis> bbl
[05:47] <Minataku> !anything
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anything - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <Minataku> Mwahahaha
[05:47] <Tm_T> Minataku: krhm
[05:47] <Minataku> I just did that one, I have more important things to deal with
[05:47] <Tm_T> ;)
[05:47] <Minataku> Gonna boot up my Mac and see if I can't coerce it into writing Amiga floppies
[05:47] <Minataku> <3 A/UX
[05:47] <Tm_T> Minataku: have fun (:
[05:47] <soulrider> amiga floppies? =/
[05:47] <soulrider> isnt that like.. ancient ?
[05:47] <ubuntu> wow.....
[05:47] <Tm_T> soulrider: I am ancient
[05:47] <Tm_T> amiga isn't
[05:47] <ubuntu> :) no way
[05:47] <ubuntu> chick fila time....have fun with your mac!
[05:48] <Minataku> zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
[05:48] <Tm_T> anything with floppies cant be ancient
[05:48] <Minataku> Man, that HDD is loud
[05:48] <Tm_T> Minataku: hug it
[05:48] <Tm_T> Minataku: talk nicely
[05:49] <Minataku> That won't help
[05:49] <Minataku> It'll still sound like a buzzsaw
[05:49] <Tm_T> you didn't do it from your heart
[05:49] <Minataku> :P
[05:49] <Tm_T> I might like to have some fooooood ->
[05:50] <Daisuke_Ido> i want to go through and find out what's making all the noise in my pc.  the 80mm case fans are probably a big part of it...  perhaps replacing the rear exhaust fan with a 120mm would help...
[05:50] <Minataku> I'll just let A/UX sit at the login screen for now
[05:51] <dennis___> hi everybody, i just installed ubuntu dapper, advised by a friend of mine, and got things working allright, but when using SKYPE i found out that my microphone doesn't work, but I can hear the people at the other end, solution????
[05:52] <marckie> change your microphone i guess...
[05:52] <eagles0513875> !aptfix
[05:52] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[05:52] <marckie> wow!
[05:53] <marckie> !repositories
[05:53] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[05:54] <Minataku> dennis___: Try to convince your friend that he's gone deaf
[05:54] <Minataku> Or even better, crazy
[05:55] <Minataku> Next time you see him IRL, move your mouth like you're talking but say nothing
[05:55] <marckie> hahahaha... hilarious...
[05:55] <marckie> lol!
[05:55] <Minataku> Get a couple other friends to do it, not all of them, just one or two
[05:55] <Minataku> The rest talks to him as usual
[05:56] <marckie> !nvidia
[05:56] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:56] <Minataku> Even more better, switch off every couple days who talks and who doesn't
[05:56] <Minataku> If he doesn't think he's crazy, damnit, he will be
[05:56] <Minataku> XD
[05:57] <marckie> hahaha... nice one there mina
[05:57] <dennis___> sorry, thought i could get some help here but it's a playground obviously, bye
[05:57] <ardchoille> Tm_T: May I pm you?
[05:57] <marckie> anyhows, it might be possible that his mike really is busted...
[05:58] <Tm_T> ardchoille: why would you do that?
[05:58] <marckie> hey...
[05:59] <ardchoille> Tm_T: I thought you were an op here.
[05:59] <Minataku> Not my problem that someone can't take a joke
[05:59] <Tm_T> ardchoille: sure you can msg me, but if it's about administration of this channel, #ubuntu-ops is for that
[05:59] <ardchoille> Tm_T: Ah, ok
[06:00] <Minataku> marckie: I was gonna get to the fact that his mixer probably muted the mike
[06:00] <Minataku> If it's anything like my system, every time I reboot I have to reset the volume
[06:00] <Roey> hi all
[06:00] <Roey> is "ntfs" as it shows up in the output to 'mount'  ntfs-ng?
[06:00] <Roey> I'm running kubuntu 7.04
[06:01] <Minataku> Roey: I believe that's just what the fs is mounted as
[06:01] <Roey> also, is there a wya to install Kubuntu 7.04 without the splash screen?  It crashes KVM
[06:01] <Roey> Minataku:  well there are three drivers for NT though
[06:02] <marckie> minataku... well he did not get the joke...
[06:02] <Roey> Minataku:  the standard NTFS ones (which are basically read-only), the Captive drivers, and NTFS-ng
[06:02] <marckie> he's probably very frustrated...
[06:02] <Minataku> marckie: Obviously X3
[06:02] <marckie> been there...
[06:02] <Minataku> Over a microphone?
[06:02] <marckie> yeah...
[06:02] <Roey> it's a joke?
[06:02] <Minataku> Roey: No, no
[06:02] <marckie> some people are so naive...
[06:02] <Minataku> Talking about something else
[06:02] <Roey> ok
[06:02] <Roey> aye.
[06:02] <Bearcat> Folks, i will be working on someone else's computer tonight. They have no internet  access at the moment, so i'd like to ask for tips now.  I'm very familiar with linux, but not debian based distros themselves.  When i try to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 using the alternate CD it seems my /var/lib/dpgk/available file is incorrect. It has a problem with a status field. How can i regen that file?
[06:02] <marckie> sorry Roey, I was also talking to Minataku...
[06:02] <Minataku> Roey: I've never used any of them, TBH
[06:03] <Roey> Bearcat:  good luck with getting a straight answer :)
[06:03] <Minataku> So I can't help you
[06:03] <Roey> thanks anyway
[06:03] <marckie> by the way, im still new in using Kubuntu... (ubuntu that is)
[06:04] <Minataku> Roey: Hang around, though
[06:04] <marckie> I was used to using Suse... until they slept with the enemy... huhuhuhu...
[06:04] <Minataku> !ntfs-3g
[06:04] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:04] <Roey> Minataku:  oh, ok
[06:04] <Minataku> Maybe try that, too
[06:04] <Roey> thanks
[06:04] <Roey> that's what I was looking for
[06:04] <Roey> ntfs-3
[06:04] <Roey> *3g
[06:05] <marckie> Well, with my experience i still suggest using Fat32 for file sharing between dual booting systems..
[06:05] <Bearcat> Roey: that bad huh?
[06:05] <marckie> its safer... trust me...
[06:05] <Minataku> Roey: np
[06:05] <Minataku> NTFS is barely stable in Windows
[06:06] <Roey> Minataku:  but ntfs3g is different
[06:06] <Roey> aiui
[06:06] <Minataku> It's still not 100% safe
[06:06] <Roey> marckie:  "its safer...trust me..." <-- famous last words eh? :)
[06:06] <Minataku> Since I'm pretty much positive that MS sticks little traps into NTFS to nuke it if Windows isn't what's writing to it
[06:07] <Roey> Minataku:  ha ha ha
[06:07] <Minataku> Of course, MS steps on their own landmines as a result
[06:07] <Bearcat> Roey: i was doing an upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 and a few packages wouldn't upgrade. So i said, "let's try the 6.10 to 7.04".  The error i'm seeing is parse error near line 2 package 'python-libxml2" value for 'status' field not allowed in this context. The value in that status field is "install reintreq halt-installed"
[06:08] <Roey> Bearcat:  hmm.  (Have you tried #ubuntu for that matter, then?)
[06:08] <Bearcat> Roey: also there are odd chacters strwen through out the file, which look like binary info so i suspect a corruupted file.
[06:08] <Bearcat> Roey: nope. I suppose this isn
[06:08] <marckie> hey minataku... what videocard are you using?
[06:08] <Bearcat> Roey: isnt' kubuntu specific though.
[06:08] <Roey> Bearcat:  I think that #ubuntu holds more experts
[06:09] <marckie> Im using nvidia and im wondering how i can install its drivers...
[06:09] <Bearcat> Roey: thanks
[06:09] <ardchoille> !nvidia
[06:09] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:09] <marckie> i want to install beryl after that...
[06:09] <Bearcat> Roey: are you insinuating some thing about KDE users?  Old school...
[06:10] <Daisuke_Ido> marckie: that's because those instructions are for ubuntu
[06:10] <Roey> Bearcat:  oh nonono not at all, gnome sucks/kde rocks
[06:10] <Roey> completely
[06:10] <marckie> Ahhh... I see...
[06:10] <Minataku> This laptop is from 2003
[06:10] <Bearcat> Roey: cool.
[06:10] <marckie> So where's it in Kubuntu?
[06:10] <Daisuke_Ido> marckie: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[06:10] <Roey> Bearcat:  I'm just saying I think #ubuntu, being the original channel, proabbly has more experts
[06:11] <Roey> Bearcat:  (between you and me and the rest of this IRC channel, I can't stand GNOME)
[06:11] <Bearcat> *nods*
[06:11] <Roey> or GTK for that matter.
[06:11] <marckie> no i dont think so... though im new...
[06:11] <Roey> Pity that I still use GAIM, GIMP, and X-Chat
[06:11] <marckie> is there a GUI in installing nvidia?
[06:11] <Bearcat> Roey: yeah. I just wish gtk wasn't the default for most stuff.
[06:11] <marckie> if that's possible in Ubuntu that is...
[06:12] <Roey> Bearcat:  ahh
[06:12] <Bearcat> marckie: it's called nvidia-settings
[06:12] <marckie> I think there could be the same in kubuntu...
[06:12] <ardchoille> marckie: I feel it would be a waste of a gui. Installing nvidia drivers took me two commands and restarting x and it was done.
[06:12] <Bearcat> Roey: it makes me wonder if there are more C programmers then C++ programmers.
[06:12] <marckie> yeah... I see...
[06:13] <marckie> Im campaigning Linux (Kubuntu to be specific) to my Window$ user friends...
[06:13] <Roey> Bearcat:  I dispensed with them both and moved to Python ;)
[06:13] <marckie> so im looking for the easiest way for them
[06:14] <Bearcat> Roey: pffft. Be a real hacker and write your stuff in COBOL
[06:14] <marckie> I think they would probably fear the Console... hehehe...
[06:14] <FSHero> This is odd... I had two samba shares mounted, and I couldn't unmount the first share I mounted until I unmounted the second one!
[06:14] <FSHero> Is that meant to happen?
[06:14] <Roey> Bearcat:  ha!!
[06:14] <Roey> Bearcat:  btw, I like your English.  Where are you?
[06:15] <Bearcat> Roey: Montana, USA
[06:15] <Roey> Bearcat:  oh, understood then
[06:16] <Roey> Bearcat:  I'm working in VA
[06:16] <Roey> Fairfax, VA, land of the Network Security Engineers
[06:16] <Roey> 27 here, how about you?
[06:16] <Bearcat> Roey: been there, i think.
[06:16] <visham> hi folks
[06:16] <Bearcat> Roey: 35
[06:16] <FSHero> And I think I'm about to answer my own question...
[06:17] <ardchoille> FSHero: We love it when people do that :)
[06:17] <Roey> Bearcat:  ah, ok. I thought I sensed maturity there..
[06:17] <FSHero> ... I had the first share mounted on /media/samba/FSHEROMED04 and the second share mounted on /media/samba/FSHEROMED04/SharedDocs
[06:17] <marckie> bye for now...
[06:17] <FSHero> ardchoille: I do that a lot in 'real'-life too! :P lmao
[06:17] <Roey> ciao
[06:18] <Roey> marckie:  bye
[06:18] <Bearcat> Roey: it's an act, i assure you. :)
[06:18] <FSHero> Thus, I can't unmount a directory if something else is mounted in one of the former's subdirectories. (... wordy...)
[06:21] <FSHero> This is also interesting... when I mount Samba shares, it creates a new folder: e.g. if I mount share "abc" into /media/samba/abc, it creates the "abc" folder.
[06:21] <FSHero> When I use Knoppix to mount USB disks from the command line, it complains that I didn't make the folder... lol
[06:22] <visham> i bought a ethernet card(Dlink 520TX) yesterday and installed (my os: kubuntu dapper) i use a  adsl connection. The connection speed is avg of 2Mbps in windows but in ubuntu it is < 1Mbps
[06:23] <visham> when i run nmap the connection breaks down
[06:23] <Roey> Bearcat:  :)
[06:24] <coreymon77> hi everyone
[06:25] <FSHero> Okay, a question: I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[06:27] <FSHero> Is there a way of not using a .smbpassword file for credentials? I would like my file manager to ask me to type my username+password the first time I try to access a share.
[06:27] <FSHero> Hence, no one can start Knoppix on my computer and find out my password... ;)
[06:29] <visham> i bought a ethernet card(Dlink 520TX) yesterday and installed (my os: kubuntu dapper) i use a  adsl connection. The connection speed is avg of 2Mbps in windows but in ubuntu it is < 1Mbps
[06:29] <visham> when i run nmap the connection breaks down
[06:29] <visham> whats the problem?
[06:31] <coreymon77> visham: are you using the proper driver?
[06:31] <visham> dlink dfe 520TX (ethernet card) is autodetected
[06:31] <visham> but drivers are also provided which donot compile on my system
[06:31] <coreymon77> are you sure there are no obstructions
[06:32] <visham> obstructions?
[06:35] <Minataku> visham: Oh
[06:35] <coreymon77> visham: oh ya, its ethernet
[06:35] <Minataku> visham: Are you doing a UDP scan?
[06:35] <visham> no only syn scan with OS detection
[06:35] <Minataku> Hm
[06:35] <visham> right now i'm trying to disable the ipv6 support will that work?
[06:35] <Minataku> I know that I was (still am?) having an issue where if I did a UDP scan, at the end of the scan, nmap would segfault and the card would crash
[06:35] <coreymon77> visham: you said wont compile on your system, exactly what type of system do you mean?
[06:35] <Minataku> Mine is wireless, though
[06:35] <visham> kubunt dapper (6.06)
[06:35] <Minataku> Unrelated, I'm sure
[06:35] <visham> wired ethernet card
[06:35] <Minataku> visham: Simple solution... don't run nmap
[06:35] <Minataku> Something along the line doesn't like what it's doing
[06:35] <visham> i will die without nmap
[06:35] <visham> ;)
[06:35] <Minataku> Heh
[06:35] <Minataku> Something somewhere isn't happy with nmap
[06:35] <Minataku> Check your dmesg after it happens
[06:35] <Minataku> If someone's bitching, it'll be in there at the bottom
[06:35] <visham> forget nmap now
[06:35] <visham> connection speed is 2Mbps in WinXP but in ubuntu its < 1Mbps
[06:35] <marko_> !register
[06:35] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[06:36] <Minataku> visham: Windows is probably a dirty rotten liar
[06:36] <coreymon77> visham: i doubt you are actually getting those speeds
[06:36] <coreymon77> visham: windoze usually exaggerates
[06:37] <coreymon77> it tells me that i am getting speeds that are impossivle
[06:37] <visham> coreymon77: i can feel the difference while browsing and downloading
[06:37] <Minataku> Windows will say anything to make you feel better
[06:37] <Minataku> It has to... after all, you're using Windows
[06:37] <Minataku> If anything's gonna make you feel like ass, it's using Windows
[06:38] <visham> Minataku: any tips in general to increase the speed?
[06:39] <visham> Minataku: how about disabling ipv6
[06:39] <Minataku> visham: Stop believing that it's slower
[06:39] <Minataku> As for that, I've heard that disabling it can speed things up
[06:39] <coreymon77> visham: are you the only one using the internet?
[06:39] <coreymon77> visham: or is it shared?
[06:39] <Minataku> Some systems seem incapable of tolerating IPv6
[06:39] <visham> coreymon77: i'm the only one
[06:40] <Minataku> So give disabling IPv6 a try
[06:40] <coreymon77> visham: somehow im doubting that the speed is actually slower
[06:40] <Minataku> It's not like anything actually uses it yet
[06:40] <Daisuke_Ido> actually, i suppose i should be screaming at wine
[06:40] <Daisuke_Ido> for some reason, eac can't see my cdrom at all
[06:40] <visham> Minataku: any suggestion for the nmap problem
[06:40] <coreymon77> visham: is it possible that the slower speeds are just psychological because it says a different nu,mber
[06:40] <Minataku> visham: None
[06:40] <Minataku> Like I said, check dmesg
[06:41] <Minataku> If I had more info (if there's any to be had) then I might have a suggestion
[06:41] <visham> Minataku: thank you
[06:41] <Minataku> np
[06:41] <visham> more info?
[06:42] <visham> coreymon77: one more problem when i run nmap with syn scan the connection breaks down after some time during the scan
[06:43] <visham> ok folks thanks for the suggestions and help i'm going to reboot now
[06:50] <dazjorz> Hi
[06:50] <coreymon77> hi
[06:50] <dazjorz> I'm having problems with OpenOffice.org and #openoffice.org recommended I ask here
[06:50] <dazjorz> When I run OpenOffice.org, I get the "loading" screen, but it stays at zero
[06:50] <dazjorz> when I run 'soffice' at the console, nothing happens
[06:50] <dazjorz> the only thing I get is the X error of an invalid or uninitialised input device, which I always get in every program so that's not the problem
[06:51] <coreymon77> dazjorz: the unvalid device thing is normal
[06:51] <coreymon77> dazjorz: have you waited a little bit for it to open?
[06:53] <dazjorz> coreymon77: I have, I waited ten minutes for soffice and like five to ten minutes for OO.org itself
[06:53] <dazjorz> the first time I tried today, it would open after waiting half a minute or so
[06:53] <dazjorz> then after that it didn't do anything at all anymore
[06:53] <coreymon77> dazjorz: i think thats an open office problem
[06:54] <dazjorz> Yay, it works now, after a reboot
[06:57] <jzilla> how do i uninstall a program? kopete for example?
[06:57] <[NL] Jazz> apt-get remove kopete (i would do)
[06:57] <jzilla> thanks
[06:58] <coreymon77> jzilla: ya, use apt
[06:59] <[NL] Jazz> i've use synaptic, adept, but i keep hitting my F12 Button and apt my way around in yakuake
[07:00] <BluesKaj> installing windows on virtualbox
[07:03] <BluesKaj> shh ...genii , I let it slip :)
[07:03] <genii> BluesKaj Don't mind me, just popping in on my break (which is finished now actually)
[07:04] <BluesKaj> I don't mind at all genii ...nice to see you again :0
[07:04] <genii> :)
[07:04] <genii> Ok, boss around, going going...
[07:08] <usamahashimi> hello everyone!
[07:09] <usamahashimi> i am trying to install mplayer but the servers are giving error, is there any problem? can anyone also check it for me?
[07:10] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: what exactly is this error
[07:10] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: and are you using apt for it?
[07:10] <dwidmann> usamahashimi: umm, I had no problem fetching mplayer from the repositories about 12 hours ago
[07:11] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: can you be a little more specific about the error?
[07:11] <usamahashimi> lemme tell you the errors
[07:12] <usamahashimi> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-backports/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (113 No route to host) [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[07:12] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: thats a server error
[07:12] <usamahashimi> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[07:12] <dwidmann> odd, I thought that there was an update for it in feisty-security
[07:13] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: how can i now download
[07:13] <dwidmann> then again, you can't even connect to the server
[07:13] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: was this just now? did this happen just now?
[07:13] <dwidmann> I just pinged the server without a problem
[07:13] <soulrider> try http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:13] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: try it again
[07:13] <soulrider> maybe you can get them from there
[07:14] <JuJuBee> Is PAM broken in feisty?
[07:14] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: i tried but the same error, this time i replace mplayer with xmms
[07:14] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: somethings the matter with the repository
[07:14] <coreymon77> anyone else having repo problems?
[07:15] <JuJuBee> Nope.
[07:15] <Dr_willis> try differnt servers.
[07:15] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: i figured another thing that the browser is not opening any site
[07:16] <coreymon77> okay
[07:16] <coreymon77> you are having severe internet problems
[07:16] <coreymon77> what i dont get is
[07:16] <coreymon77> hwo are you talking to us?
[07:16] <Dr_willis> ive seen this happen befor. guy could irc. but not web surf.
[07:17] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: can you help me figuring out things?
[07:17] <Dr_willis> i wonder if the irc client had the ip#'s cached or somthing
[07:17] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: i could try
[07:17] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: you using wireless?
[07:17] <[NL] Jazz> does anyone have experience with fingerprint readers?
[07:17] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: no i am on dialup
[07:18] <coreymon77> oaky
[07:18] <dwidmann> JuJuBee: PAM = Pluggable Authentication Modules?
[07:18] <JuJuBee> Yes.
[07:18] <JuJuBee> Cant get NIS or LDAP to work properly.
[07:18] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: moreover, i can ping google
[07:18] <coreymon77> im not too sure, anybody here have a little more experience with dialup?
[07:18] <JuJuBee> Both see the accounts on the server, but cant authenticate
[07:19] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: ok, lemme scream for help :)
[07:19] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: asking will do just fine
[07:19] <dwidmann> dialup ... what a headache
[07:19] <neptunepink> I had no idea you could move around with vi keys in konqueror
[07:19] <[NL] Jazz> dwidmann: don't you like the modem-sound?:D
[07:19] <usamahashimi> Can anyone help me? I am on dialup and my browser and apt is not working but i can ping sites
[07:20] <[NL] Jazz> eehw.. dns?
[07:20] <dwidmann> [NL] Jazz: it was responsible for the loss of a portion of my sanity
[07:20] <[NL] Jazz> dwidmann: i get the point..:)
[07:20] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: tried tracepath?
[07:20] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: what is tracepath?
[07:21] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: you use it to see how information is getting to you across the internet, but that really wouldnt help here
[07:21] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: how did you ping, by ip or by name
[07:21] <dwidmann> [NL] Jazz: the slowness resulted in the loss of the rest ...
[07:21] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: by name
[07:21] <[NL] Jazz> dwidmann: out of sync:P
[07:22] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: can you ping the apt server
[07:22] <neptunepink> usamahashimi: try using firefox instead of konqueror or vice/versa
[07:22] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: can you tell me the address of aptserver?
[07:22] <dwidmann> usamahashimi: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:22] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: start with ubuntu.com
[07:22] <bonbonthejon> or that
[07:23] <usamahashimi> neptunepink: if i can install firefox, i should use it, apt is giving server errors
[07:23] <usamahashimi> ok lemme check
[07:23] <usamahashimi> yes i can ping i
[07:24] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: how about archive.ubuntu.com
[07:24] <usamahashimi> lemme check
[07:24] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: what have you changed recently? anything with sources.list
[07:24] <dwidmann> bonbonthejon: that is archive.ubuntu.com ;)
[07:25] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: no, i didnot changed the repos, but i am amazed that konqueror is also not opening sites
[07:25] <bonbonthejon> dwidmann: ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com could be different
[07:25] <primordium_> hello, im trying to install my radeon 9600 in kubunto 7.04, im using a wiki guide but the guide is for ubunto and i cant find "Proprietary Drivers for Devices (Restricted)" where can i find this??
[07:25] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: open konsole and try running lynx, its a text based web browser, see if you can open it in that
[07:26] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: lynx is not installed :(
[07:26] <neptunepink> usamahashimi: try links <url> or w3m <url>

[07:29] <payam> Sombady has bann me on Offtopi-kubuntu
[07:29] <payam> Can someone let me chatt there?
[07:29] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon:   Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (113 No route to host) [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[07:29] <usamahashimi> bonbonthejon: apt is giving this error
[07:29] <MAMUTE> NO SEI COMO SOU NOVO COM ISSO?
[07:29] <bonbonthejon> usamahashimi: weird. try running "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" or "sudo dhclient eth0"
[07:30] <coreymon77> okay
[07:30] <coreymon77> seriously
[07:30] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: maybe your routing table is corrupt
[07:30] <coreymon77> does someone know the language that mamute is speaking?
[07:31] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz, bonobonthejon: /etc/init.d/networking started but with a lot of errors
[07:31] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: can you help me also
[07:31] <JuJuBee> Portugise (sp? sorry)
[07:32] <coreymon77> whoever knows the language, tell him to go to the proper channel and stop yelling
[07:32] <JuJuBee> !Portuguese
[07:32] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[07:32] <primordium_> I know
[07:32] <primordium_> do you want me to talk with him ??
[07:32] <coreymon77> primordium_: yes
[07:33] <coreymon77> primordium_: tell him to go to the proper channel and stop yelling
[07:33] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: can you guide me about routing table?
[07:33] <JuJuBee> anybody good with ldap?
[07:33] <primordium_> he leaved
[07:34] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: type "route" (without quotes) in a terminal and paste the output
[07:34] <usamahashimi> <IP_ADDRESS>  *               <IP_ADDRESS> UH    0      0        0 ppp0
[07:34] <usamahashimi> and tthe other output is
[07:35] <usamahashimi> default         *               <IP_ADDRESS>         U     0      0        0 ppp0
[07:35] <usamahashimi> both these are under heading;
[07:35] <usamahashimi> Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
[07:35] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz:
[07:35] <[NL] Jazz> hmm, seems okay
[07:36] <payam> I need a download manager for my linux
[07:36] <[NL] Jazz> do you know your nameserver's adress?
[07:36] <JuJuBee> [NL] Jazz : ? /32 mask?
[07:36] <thev> Hi.    They don't theme with everything else
[07:36] <[NL] Jazz> yeah, ppp
[07:36] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i am amazed that i can ping the servers but why i can not open the addresses in konqueror and why apt is not installing things
[07:37] <coreymon77> thev: you can make firefox theme with kde
[07:37] <JuJuBee> Ah, never saw that (never used ppp either)
[07:37] <coreymon77> thev: and the gimp, well, it is a gnome program
[07:37] <thev> corey - ah... how?
[07:37] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: you can ping every IP?
[07:37] <coreymon77> thev: firefox themes, go to the firefox addons site
[07:37] <coreymon77> thev: i use noia
[07:37] <zipper> After installing (k)ubuntu, i've been unable to boot up my windows xp installation cd. I've tested the cd in another comp where it works fine. Seems like grub is started before the cd can boot. What to do?
[07:38] <dwidmann> umm, lets see, you definitely need to have gtk2-engines-gtk-qt installed or they'll be downright hideous
[07:38] <thev> ah, so it doesn't actually use the KDE theme
[07:38] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: all the ips which i tried, i can ping them, google, ubuntu, archives,ubuntu etc
[07:38] <thev> cheap
[07:38] <coreymon77> thev: i believe there is a kde theme for it
[07:38] <coreymon77> thev: look on the site
[07:38] <coreymon77> zipper: easy
[07:38] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: for one thing, why would you want to use your xp cd?
[07:38] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: whoops, sorry
[07:39] <coreymon77> usamahashimi: wrong person
[07:39] <usamahashimi> coreymon77: :)
[07:39] <coreymon77> zipper: for one thing, why would you want to use your xp cd?
[07:39] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: go edit your /etc/resolv.conf as root (in gnome terminal sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf) and put this on top of that file: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:39] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: ok, lemme check
[07:39] <zipper> coreymon77, so i can play the overlord demo =/
[07:39] <magicbronson> none of the GTK apps i run in kde are keyboard focusable. (e.g. can't hit tab to move around the gui.) anyone else have this problem?
[07:39] <zipper> coreymon77, wine does not support the version of securom that it uses
[07:40] <coreymon77> zipper: oh, oaky, well then
[07:40] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: in case you wonder what that IP is, it's a opendns.org nameserver
[07:40] <coreymon77> zipper: what computer are you using, what company made it?
[07:40] <zipper> coreymon77, zipper supreme ruler of the world Inc.
[07:40] <coreymon77> zipper: no, seriously
[07:40] <zipper> coreymon77, (made it from pieces)
[07:41] <zipper> which i ordered individually
[07:41] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i put it,
[07:41] <[NL] Jazz> yeah?
[07:41] <[NL] Jazz> okay save it usamahashimi
[07:41] <coreymon77> zipper: what about the bios?
[07:41] <coreymon77> zipper: who made that
[07:41] <zipper> asus p5ld2 motherboard... i think it's an Award bios
[07:41] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: yes, i already saved it
[07:41] <[NL] Jazz> and now try to ping archive.ubuntu.com
[07:41] <zipper> and yes, i believe my boot priority is correctly setup
[07:41] <zipper> but let me just double-check that
[07:41] <thev> I have weird issue with panels - on my other machine I can add a new panel, then go into the configure panel dialogue and reposition it, etc.  On this one I can only change the original panel...
[07:42] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: yes, i can ping it
[07:42] <thev> So if I add a new panel all I can get is a giant one at the bottom with nothing on it
[07:42] <coreymon77> zipper: that cant be it
[07:42] <zipper> coreymon77, ?
[07:42] <coreymon77> zipper: it cant be setup properly
[07:42] <zipper> okay
[07:42] <coreymon77> zipper: or else it would work
[07:42] <zipper> brb then
[07:42] <coreymon77> zipper: check it
[07:42] <zipper> =)
[07:43] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: try to apt-get something then:)
[07:43] <ciga> hello
[07:43] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: but apt and browsers are still giving error
[07:43] <[NL] Jazz> HUH
[07:43] <[NL] Jazz> are you running knetworkmanager?
[07:43] <[NL] Jazz> or NetworkManager?
[07:44] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i think, its not running
[07:44] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i disabled my LAN card
[07:44] <[NL] Jazz> knetworkmanager could be set to offline mode
[07:44] <[NL] Jazz> yeah but ppp0 is also a interface witch it can control, i think
[07:44] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i restarted my PC and everything happened
[07:45] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: lemme check the bash history and tell you that what i enabled and disabled
[07:45] <[NL] Jazz> haha ok
[07:46] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i disabled avahi-demon and ....
[07:46] <ciga> I reinstalled my box on a new partition. I want to have my cookies and my kmail accounts back. I copied apps/kcookiejar and apps/kwallet from the old system, but my pop3 account still needs a password, and konqueror does not seem to find the cookies. What more should I copy?
[07:46] <Minataku> You have to copy more than just the binaries
[07:46] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: and nothing else
[07:46] <[NL] Jazz> have you done a /etc/init.d/networking restart?
[07:46] <Minataku> You have to copy their configuration files as well
[07:47] <ciga> Minataku: was that for me?
[07:47] <Minataku> ciga: Yes
[07:47] <ciga> Minataku: I talked about conf files.
[07:47] <ciga> Minataku: I used apt-get to install the packages, of course.
[07:47] <Minataku> Ah
[07:47] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: i am thinking to reboot my pc, are you here, so i can come back to tell you the after reboot results?
[07:49] <[NL] Jazz> usamahashimi: sorry, i have to go now, but i'm sure there's someone else willing to help you
[07:49] <coreymon77> magicbronson: is that a package?
[07:49] <usamahashimi> [NL] Jazz: ok thanks by the way
[07:49] <[NL] Jazz> be smart, write down the IP of the current irc server
[07:50] <magicbronson> coreymon77: no
[07:50] <coreymon77> magicbronson: cause if so, just apt it
[07:50] <[NL] Jazz> i'm leaving
[07:50] <[NL] Jazz> ciao!!
[07:50] <jhutchins_lt> magicbronson: Should be part of the apache install.
[07:50] <ciga> anyone can give me a hand with my questions, please?
[07:51] <magicbronson> jhutchins_lt: that explains it, thanks
[07:52] <coreymon77> ciga: what?
[07:52] <Bearcat> hey Roey, i found an answer, i think
[07:53] <Bearcat> Roey: a "dpgk --clear-avail" + apt-get update might fix it.
[07:54] <ciga> coreymon77: I reinstalled. my cookies are gone. I want them back. I copied .kde/share/apps/kcookiejar, but konqueror does not seem to find them. What should I do?
[07:54] <ciga> coreymon77: copied from backup.
[07:54] <coreymon77> ciga: ive noticed myself that that doesnt seem to work
[07:54] <coreymon77> ciga: could you jsut get them back manually
[07:54] <coreymon77> ?
[07:56] <ciga> coreymon77: would be better to have everything back. Selecting would give me head-acks later.
[07:56] <ciga> coreymon77: and this is the same for kmail and my pop3 passwd.
[07:56] <ciga> coreymon77: everything works, except those 2.
[07:56] <coreymon77> ciga: well kmail and pop3 pwrod should be easy to get back manually, shouldnt it?
[07:57] <ciga> and I have now 3.5.7 instead of 3.5.6
[07:57] <Roey> Bearcat:  ahh
[07:57] <Roey> ok
[07:57] <Roey> Bearcat:  what is --clear-avail for ?
[07:57] <ciga> coreymon77: I don't know by heart. :]
[07:58] <Bearcat> Roey: it removes sets up the system to regen the /var/lib/dpkg/availble file, which appears to be corrupted on my friends computer.
[07:58] <Bearcat> Roey: simply deleting the file and doing a ap-get update does not do it.
[07:59] <ciga> arg
[07:59] <Roey> Bearcat:  I'm surprised you didn't say --purge
[07:59] <coreymon77> ciga: sorry, i dont knwo
[08:00] <Roey> apt-get --purge remove
[08:00] <Bearcat> Roey: what does that do?
[08:00] <Bearcat> Roey: (i;m not normally a debian user)
[08:00] <Roey> Bearcat:  it removes anything installed into /etc and /var etc.
[08:01] <Roey> *also removes
[08:01] <Bearcat> Roey: what does it remove? the files that apt-get uses?
[08:02] <Roey> nono
[08:02] <Roey> it removes /all/ the files that the package installe
[08:02] <Roey> d
[08:02] <Roey> i.e. it does not just clear out /usr/lib and /usr/bin
[08:02] <Roey> it also goes to /var and /etc and all that
[08:17] <JuJuBee> How do I test to see if PAM is configured properly?

[08:23] <Roey> much more..fibrous
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Roey: they are nice if you dice carrots with parsnips together
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Roey: or roast with honey
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Roey: Do you use Beryl etc?
[08:25] <Roey> ActionParsnip:  I tried it but the thing slowed my system to a crawl

[08:43] <arkygeek> hi.  my mate has just had a power bump and now everything has gone to hell.  when he tries to log in, it says: checking files systems .. /dev/sda2 contains a filesystem with errors. check forced...  it ended up in a limited shell, and he typed reboot.  it went to the login screen for X but then complained about missing kde config files or something...
[08:44] <DexterF> hello. can't make Opera run java, followed hints on !java. so - what else? jre6 is installed
[08:44] <carutsu> is there a way to change FTP's options in Konqueror?
[08:44] <arkygeek> it is now, upon another subseqent reboot, doing the check again...
[08:44] <Tm_T> carutsu: what you mean?
[08:44] <mattsqz> arkygeek: what do you mean by powerbump
[08:44] <arkygeek> the power went off mattsqz
[08:44] <carutsu> Tm_T: say Use STAT instead of LIST
[08:45] <arkygeek> he had a lot of windows open at the time mattsqz
[08:45] <carutsu> Tm_T: my host uses STAT
[08:45] <Tm_T> stat?
[08:45] <Tm_T> list?
[08:45] <mattsqz> i see
[08:45] <iarwain_> anyone know why my /dev/sdb is not able to be formated via qtparted? it complains about being mounted, but it's not..
[08:45] <Tm_T> carutsu: apparently I have no idea about ftp protocol so I go cooking more food ;) ->
[08:45] <carutsu> Tm_T: XDD
[08:45] <mattsqz> thats unusual, i lost power during a storm 3 times day before yesterday and im not experiencing anything similar
[08:46] <mattsqz> i mean..it complains about filesystem, but no data loss.
[08:46] <arkygeek> yeah ive never had probs like that b4 either...
[08:46] <mattsqz> only thing i can think of is im using pata and hes using sata
[08:46] <mattsqz> but that shouldnt effect it so much you would think
[08:46] <arkygeek> mattsqz: it said manual repair was needed from that limited shell... but he rebooted
[08:47] <mattsqz> well maybe he should go back to the console and fsck
[08:48] <Minataku> I usually always fsck if my external HDD loses power
[08:48] <Ryiel> Guys, anyone betatesting Gutsy Gibbon?
[08:48] <Ryiel> or prealphatesting :D
[08:49] <Minataku> Even if I used Kubuntu in the first place, I couldn't use something named "Gutsy Gibbon"
[08:49] <Ryiel> kde or gnome?
[08:49] <xerosis> Ryiel: kde of course :p
[08:49] <luca> sorry
[08:49] <luca> i need
[08:49] <luca> a help
[08:49] <Minataku> !enter
[08:49] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:50] <Ryiel> xerosis: did you try kaffeine? Does playback works for you?
[08:50] <luca> someone here is italian?
[08:50] <Minataku> !it | luca
[08:50] <ubotu> luca: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:50] <arkygeek> ok.  it says now that fsck died with exit status 4.  FAIL  filesystem check failed  please repair manually a maintenance shell will now be started.  what now.... fsck <enter> ?
[08:50] <julien> No, I'm french
[08:50] <julien> arkygeek
[08:51] <xerosis> Ryiel: works for me
[08:51] <Ryiel> I tried to watch satellite tv but screen was shaking like hell.
[08:51] <Minataku> arkygeek: Try it
[08:51] <Minataku> If that fails... you're in deep sh*t
[08:51] <julien> You've got this message when you boot your computer ?
[08:51] <Ryiel> Dont you happenet to have dvb card, right? :D
[08:51] <xerosis> Ryiel: 'fraid not
[08:51] <arkygeek> julien: yes
[08:51] <xerosis> Ryiel: though if you sent me one i'd test it for you :D
[08:52] <julien> Ok, and you want to know what to do ?
[08:52] <Minataku> arkygeek: fsck doesn't like errors when run noninteractively
[08:52] <Ryiel> Thanks dude :D
[08:52] <arkygeek> julien: yes
[08:52] <Minataku> arkygeek: You'll have to type fsck <device in question> and hit enter
[08:52] <DexterF> !java
[08:52] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[08:52] <julien> Ok, so when it tells you that "you have to do it manually", you've got a prompt when you must enter your root password
[08:52] <Ryiel> I hope somebody else is gonna try kaffeine with dvb cards. It works fine with feisty
[08:52] <Minataku> If, for example, /dev/sda3 is what fsck choked on, you have to type "fsck /dev/sda3"
[08:53] <julien> *where* sorry, not 'when'
[08:53] <Ryiel> Though it's only a pre alpha snapshot it's pretty stable
[08:53] <julien> Are you ok arkygeek ?
[08:53] <arkygeek> julien: going to start now with fsck /dev/sda2   (right?)
[08:54] <Minataku> arkygeek: Yes
[08:54] <julien> yes
[08:54] <Minataku> If that's the device with the filesystem that it choked on
[08:54] <julien> And it will repair it (we hope)
[08:54] <Minataku> You'll see some scary lookin' sh*t
[08:54] <Minataku> More than likely
[08:54] <Minataku> lol
[08:55] <Ryiel> xerosis: So movie playback works fine, huh?
[08:58] <xerosis> Ryiel: looks like it to me
[08:59] <Ryiel> Hmm. Damned dvb :P
[08:59] <julien> Please, have you ever compiled the soft called jackd ? My problem is that I downloaded the last source, configured, maked and make installed. This worked fine. The soft runs ok. But when I try to start it, it tells me "jackd: unknown driver 'alsa'". But I can play sound with other softs like Kaffeine or VLC! Don't you think that I need to create a symbolic link somewhere or something like that ?
[08:59] <julien> I'm on Feisty Fawn
[08:59] <julien> Kubuntu
[08:59] <shannon> How fast is wireless G, in practice?
[09:06] <Soth> shannon: under ideal conditions about 20Mbit... give or take
[09:09] <shannon> Soth: I'm getting about 720 kB/s, which I think is about 6-7 Mbps. My CPU is running at 100% every time I transfer a file too..
[09:10] <Soth> well the 20Mbit figure would be assuming 100% signal strength
[09:11] <Young_Druid> can anyone suggest why my vpn connection always disonnect in 0.9 minutes?  i use pptpclient and static ip

[09:16] <Young_Druid> fdoving: there is no errors.
[09:16] <fdoving> Young_Druid: ok, then i don't know.
[09:16] <Young_Druid> fdoving: it send many packets. may be it is "ip loop" problem. but i don't know how to rout.

[09:38] <qoala> why can't the LiveCD?
[09:38] <qoala> if it has Gparted?
[09:38] <qoala> Gparted does that
[09:39] <BluesKaj> BlueDevil, in the run command : kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list , then remove the # from the beginning of any deb addresses
[09:39] <qoala> could I lay out the partitionining and the install through the LiveCD?
[09:39] <arkygeek> BluesKaj: he doesnt have the livecd with him!  urff
[09:39] <arkygeek> BluesKaj: need heelp with iwconfig to associate and givce the wep key

[09:41] <ubotu> arkygeek: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: settings -> toolbar
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: then choose location
[09:42] <qoala> anyone knoledgeable about LVM?
[09:42] <BlueDevil> BluesKaj: i have all the repos enabled
[09:42] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: I should explain I have a konq window but nothing else in it.
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: hmm
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: gimme a sec
[09:43] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: k thanks.
[09:44] <qoala> LVM anyohne>
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: try CTRL + L
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: any good?
[09:45] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: nothing.
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: bah
[09:45] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: could i delete like .konqeror or something and have it reset?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> dont delete, just rename
[09:45] <qoala> hi I have a question
[09:46] <BluesKaj> rowenthedark, in konq/ settings/toolbars/location toolbar
[09:46] <qoala> I've got a Geforce but the mobo has Intel Extreme
[09:46] <qoala> how can I make Kubuntu use the Geforce>
[09:46] <qoala> ?
[09:46] <qoala> instead??
[09:46] <qoala> lspci reports it
[09:46] <qoala> fine
[09:47] <BlueDevil> qoala: what do you need with LVM?
[09:47] <mc__> qoala: you have to set that in your bios
[09:47] <jhutchins_lt> !enter | qoala
[09:47] <ubotu> qoala: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:47] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: okay menubar was hidden all good.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: all 100% now?
[09:48] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: All fine now for Konq. Thanks.
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: sweet as man :)
[09:48] <qoala> mc__, ha for real?
[09:48] <pointwood> what do people recommend to use to record audio from the mic in on my laptop?
[09:48] <mc__> qoala: yes
[09:48] <rowenthedark> Second question: Why is it that Beryl and certain themes dont work well together?
[09:48] <qoala> mc__, can't Xorg do it?
[09:49] <mc__> qoala: i dont think so
[09:49] <BlueDevil> qoala: is the graphic card configured in xorg.conf?
[09:49] <qoala> mc__, that doesn't make a lot of sense, i thought Linux was supposed to be able to handle two vid cards
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: i have no idea, i had a fun time getting bagira to work with it
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> its all good now
[09:49] <rowenthedark> More info: I have Beryl and Superkaramba working together, but the baghira theme doesn't like one of them. Crashed my x-server and everything.
[09:50] <qoala> mc__, no, nothing is configured, this is a brand new installation, GEFORCE 5200
[09:50] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: I think the crash might have messed up konq too.
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: very possible
[09:50] <jcmcgeekster> Hello
[09:50] <jcmcgeekster> :)
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: once its all sweet you can sit back and admire your work
[09:51] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: I am admiring it now, just have a few more things to fix.
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: I use kooldock
[09:51] <mc__> qoala: my hardware setup is simliar to yours...and i configured the BIOS to use the PCIE GPU instead of the onboard one...
[09:52] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Is there another way to get weather, sysmon and things like that other than superkaramba?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: not something i've looked into, sorry. try searching for superkaramba alternative
[09:53] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Okay. Was worth asking.
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: absolutely man, if you dont ask you'll never know
[09:53] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Question about vlc? Is it as good as it seems would you know?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> i use kaffeine, not really plaed with vlc
[09:54] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: It's cool.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: i dont really push my system, just browse n chat, hence linux
[09:55] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: I wanted to play D2 under wine, but it doesn't play nice with Beryl either. :(
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: no ned for windows for me, i do have a virtualbox cos my CCNA course only runs on windows and i cant get it to run on linux
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: tried Cedega
[09:56] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: One day there will be linux support for everything.
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: I think theres a Loki installer for it
[09:56] <BlueDevil> qoala: X can use multiple cards
[09:56] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Can't install. Missing xlibs.
[09:56] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: What is a Loki installer?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> http://www.liflg.org/
[09:58] <rowenthedark> Thank you.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: no worries man
[09:58] <qoala> BlueDevil, thanks
[09:59] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: no such thing.
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: bah
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> get cedega binaries for 5 USSSSSSSSSD
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> should be ok
[09:59] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: its supposed to install under wine, but something is weird. oh well.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: trygoogling for your rrors
[10:00] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Like I said no xlibs so it wont install.

[10:01] <Minataku> qoala: You respect the channel rules, policies and officials, or you get the hell out
[10:01] <Minataku> No exceptions.
[10:02] <qoala> Minataku, I think is quite hard to police grammar, everyone got their own style
[10:02] <Minataku> qoala: That's no reason to insult someone for attempting to inform you of channel policies
[10:03] <Minataku> Hitting enter excessively spams the channel
[10:03] <Minataku> It's far better to keep one sentence or thought on a single line rather than splitting it across two or more
[10:03] <qoala> Minataku, in all my time in irc and all channels I've visited this is the first time I hear this
[10:04] <Minataku> We know you're there, and we'll listen to you, no matter how long it takes you to type a single line
[10:04] <qoala> enter is the nature, ethos and style of irc
[10:04] <fdoving> Theres a first time for everything
[10:04] <qoala> otherwise I'll go to the forums and write a goddamm paragraph over there
[10:04] <qoala> or essay
[10:04] <Minataku> qoala: You're more than welcome to
[10:04] <Minataku> Considering the following:
[10:04] <Minataku> !language | qoala
[10:04] <ubotu> qoala: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:04] <Minataku> Which is another rule you are expected to abide by
[10:05] <BlueDevil> cool it or i'll leave :D
[10:05] <qoala> ok got it
[10:05] <Minataku> If you do not wish to follow the set rules and regulations, you can go elsewhere
[10:05] <qoala> now can I flash BIOS with a CD?
[10:05] <BlueDevil> qoala: why do you want to flash with CD?
[10:05] <Minataku> qoala: Most BIOS flashers fit on a floppy, though I'm guessing your computer maker was too short-sighted to put one in
[10:06] <qoala> BlueDevil, 'cause I don't have a floppy drive
[10:06] <qoala> nor floppy USB
[10:06] <Minataku> Theoretically you could make an empty El Torito ISO with a BIOS Flasher floppy image as the booter
[10:06] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: apparently cedaga is a lot of work to get to work with fiesty. :(
[10:06] <BlueDevil> qoala: on recent mobos you can flash from a USB flash
[10:06] <Minataku> Which should boot from the CD to the floppy image
[10:06] <waylandbill> Minataku: some can be run in windows or booted from a CD. It's rare to see any laptops with floppies anymoree
[10:06] <Minataku> Or that
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> qoala: if you have an ultimtat boot cd
[10:06] <fdoving> qoala: i guess this guide will work for you too, http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-cd.htm - use the linux programs instead of the windows ones.
[10:06] <Minataku> waylandbill: I know, Piyoko lacks one and I hate it
[10:06] <qoala> El Torito ISO do use the Floppy exe or the m$$ exe?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> qoala: you can boot to dos and run the app
[10:07] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: Guess I use windows for now.
[10:07] <Minataku> qoala: You need the floppy image, or you can use the other suggestions
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> rowenthedark: I installed it from deb
[10:07] <Minataku> qoala: The floppy EXE probably writes a floppy image, though I'd check out fdoving's link before I started trying to rip the floppy image out of the EXE
[10:08] <waylandbill> Minataku: I can't actually remember the last time I actually needed a floppy. It's been a while.
[10:08] <Minataku> waylandbill: I just used one literally 2 minutes ago
[10:08] <waylandbill> :)
[10:08] <Minataku> I'm a computer collector
[10:08] <Minataku> Floppies are insanely invaluable to me
[10:08] <waylandbill> last time I tried, the diskette was no good.
[10:08] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: hmmmm
[10:09] <qoala> oh man
[10:09] <qoala> I know, I'll install XP first, update the BIOS then install Linux
[10:09] <rowenthedark> ActionParsnip: might be something on my end.
[10:09] <Minataku> Some of my computers have nothing but a FDD and an HDD
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> qoala: get the ultimate boot cd, or borrow a floppy
[10:09] <Minataku> Makes using CDs incredibly difficult
[10:09] <waylandbill> qoala: your current bios has issues?
[10:09] <fdoving> qoala: if you will install both anyway, installing xp first is less work. as linux handles the boot-manager stuff automatically for you.
[10:10] <waylandbill> Minataku: I assume no nic either.
[10:10] <Minataku> waylandbill: One I can put a NIC in, the other I can't
