[04:47] (jhutchins/#kubuntu) whoo, we are generating a LOT of lines of offtopic chat here.
[04:47] (Minataku/#kubuntu) jhutchins: I have a pre-Thinkpad
[04:47] (Minataku/#kubuntu) LinuxGuy: No, it installs a regular distro
[04:47] (LinuxGuy/#kubuntu) k , cool
[04:47] (rjune/#kubuntu) jhutchins: how goes it?
[04:47] (bsundsrud/#kubuntu) LinuxGuy: alt is for different options (like LVM) and isnt a livecd
[04:47] <Minataku> It's just tweaked to bypass some issues the regular CD may have
[04:47] <jhutchins> LinuxGuy: No, it's a more full-featured installer, without the Live CD stuff.
[04:47] <LinuxGuy> oh i dont want to install it over my XP at the moment
[04:47] <LinuxGuy> i just want to try it out
[04:47] <LinuxGuy> and then install it later
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> :(
[04:48] <Minataku> jhutchins: IBM PS/2 note N51 slc
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> guess i should stop that download
[04:48] <jhutchins> LinuxGuy: The Live CD won't boot?
[04:48] <Minataku> 80386SLC
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> the normal distro is the live cd right ?
[04:48] <Minataku> ESDI HDD
[04:48] <heiths> I have my xorg file posted here... not sli but I have 8800gtx.  may help a bit.. http://seeco.cc/linux/files/xorgnv.html
[04:48] <Minataku> MCA Bus
[04:48] <jhutchins> Minataku: I installed some of the first HD equipped IBM PC'S.
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> that is the one i get all those errors with
[04:48] <Minataku> jhutchins: Nice
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> just the normal non alternative install
[04:48] <LinuxGuy> thats a live cd i thought
[04:49] <Minataku> The only thing I don't like about the PS/2 note N51 slc
[04:49] <crazycraig> w00t JUST GOT PAID!!!!
[04:49] <LinuxGuy> and if so then , yes it wont boot
[04:49] <crazycraig> good old maccyds
[04:49] <Minataku> It's coated in this rubber stuff

[04:49] <crazycraig> soz
[04:49] <heiths> I have an IBM 370 sitting in a rack out in my garage right now
[04:49] <LinuxGuy> "Can't access tty ; job control failed" , Failed to set xfer mode (err_mask) , Revalidation failed (errno =-5) , ATA 2.00 Exception Emask , ATA 2.00 CMD , Buffer I/O error on device SDA Logical block 0.
[04:49] <Minataku> All sorts of crap sticks to it
[04:49] <elite101> how do i delete DSL linux from my SDRAM/64Mb ? it wont boot the computer with it in?
[04:49] <chaotic_> whats the command  to mount an iso
[04:49] <bsundsrud> ooh LinuxGuy, i had that when i tried to install fedora 7
[04:49] <jhutchins> LinuxGuy: Ok, when you boot, try the folowing options: noapci, noapic, vga=normal
[04:49] <rjune> bsundsrud: does trying to get apache-ssl setup in kubuntu count as offtopic?
[04:49] <Minataku> LinuxGuy: Ooooh, that IS HDD-related
[04:49] <bsundsrud> rjune: no
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> thats what i thought
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> does it sound related to my main drive
[04:50] <Minataku> jhutchins: I don't think relegating him to 80x24 VGA will help anything
[04:50] <jhutchins> rjune: Not really, but better heads in #apache.
[04:50] <bsundsrud> if you dont know if you're off topic, youre not.
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> or a seconday drive
[04:50] <crazycraig> go to windows DOS thn  type in::::: format c:
[04:50] <jhutchins> Minataku: That's console only.
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> my main drive is brand new , raptor X 150
[04:50] <jhutchins> Minataku: Doesn't affect the GUI.
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> I have an IDE drive which is converted to SATA
[04:50] <Minataku> LinuxGuy: Not sure, but it looks like the installer is taking issue to some part of the HDD system
[04:50] <jhutchins> Minataku: framebuffer barfs on a lot of older hardware.
[04:50] <LinuxGuy> which i use for storage
[04:50] <rjune> jhutchins: each distro has diff tools to help set it up. I was wanting the apache2-ssl-certificate script specifically
[04:50] <Minataku> jhutchins: His box is brand new
[04:51] <LinuxGuy> im gonna unplug the converted drive to see what happens
[04:51] <LinuxGuy> brb
[04:51] <rjune> which many HOWTOs reference, but apparently doesn't exist.
[04:51] <jhutchins> rjune: All I know about it is doccumented at http://tldp.org - and I have to crib from two different HOWTO's and triangulate at that.
[04:51] <heiths> I hate to say it... but maybe you should try Sayaban 3.4... just came out and its geared for cutting edge hardware.
[04:51] <crazycraig> Press ALT+F4 together to solve your problem
[04:51] <heiths> sabayon*
[04:51] <jhutchins> heiths: Kernels are kernels.  We all use the same one.
[04:51] <crazycraig> LOL
[04:51] <rjune> jhutchins: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4466.html
[04:52] <rjune> look for jBilbo's post
[04:52] <heiths> kernel that ships with kubuntu is what?
[04:52] <Minataku> Try the Gentoo LiveCD
[04:52] <Minataku> Or Knoppix for a very good LiveCD
[04:52] <rjune> sure makes it look easy
[04:52] <Minataku> Knoppix's LiveDVD is even better
[04:52] <heiths> kernel that ships with Sabayan is 2.6.22
[04:52] <jhutchins> rjune: http://www.google.com/search?q=ssl+site%3Atldp.org
[04:52] <hitmanWilly> heiths, 2.6.20 IIRC
[04:52] <Minataku> No real option to install with Knoppix, but it's the _BEST_ to try out Linux
[04:53] <jhutchins> rjune: Sorry, man, that's all I got tonight.
[04:53] <robin> hello all, I cant seem to get kubuntu to boot sinse installing a 8800 gts, tried to reinstall with alternate cd still wont boot, will the lastest alpha ok kubuntu work?
[04:54] <heiths> use "envy" to reinstall the video drivers
[04:54] <Biovore> robin: not sure.. the 8800 gts dosn't work with the opensource nv driver..
[04:54] <Minataku> robin: What error?
[04:54] <robin> no error just black screen
[04:54] <Minataku> Hm
[04:55] <heiths> I had same issue... check out my xorg here.... http://seeco.cc/linux/files/xorgnv.html
[04:55] <Biovore> robin: you will probably have to install in text mode and install the real nvidia driver after install to get the graphics working..
[04:55] <heiths> that + reinstall nvidia driver using http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[04:55] <hitmanWilly> BluesKaj, i was thinking the same thing, or maybe the 8800 card is choking on the nv driver
[04:55] <heiths> use vesa to do the install
[04:55] <Biovore> 8800 chokes on nv driver.. hangs the box..
[04:56] <hitmanWilly> they must have done some pretty major hw reconfigs
[04:56] <bsundsrud> robin: or do video=vesa at boot, video will suck until you can install the nvidia driver though
[04:56] <bsundsrud> but it wont be text mode
[04:56] <robin> tried to install nvidia driver from web site, says I dont have restristed kernle where do i get
[04:57] <hitmanWilly> robin, its in the repos, nvidia-glx-new
[04:57] <Minataku> Well, sorry to go off-topic, but computers are something I can't help but talk about XD
[04:57] <heiths> sed -i 's/"nv"/"vesa"/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:57] <hitmanWilly> robin, the driver, i mean
[04:58] <bsundsrud> Minataku: join us in the offtopic chan then. we're talking about computers and cats.
[04:58] <robin> k will try thx
[04:59] <hitmanWilly> issues like this are why i use a text mode login :)
[04:59] <heiths> hit alt+f2 right before it starts the xserver... then login as ubuntu and type ed -i 's/"nv"/"vesa"/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf && /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[04:59] <heiths> then hit alt+f7 to go back to the gui

[05:20] <redshadowhero> what about virginia?
[05:20] <bsundsrud> dont worry about her.
[05:20] <bsundsrud> shes safe.
[05:20] <redshadowhero> oh, like the song?

[05:22] <Daisuke_Ido> yes redshadowhero, there is an esoteric reference

[05:23] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[05:23] <zoohouse> How do I see which harddrive I am currently running linux on? -- I have 2 hard drives with linux. The distro im currently on is kubuntu, I want to keep this but the other distro I want to get rid of. I don't remember which harddrive kubuntu is installed in...
[05:23] <Biovore> zoohouse: cat /etc/fstab
[05:24] <Daisuke_Ido> see what drive is mounted on /
[05:24] <redshadowhero> okay, I installed kismet... but I can't find the app... where would it be?
[05:24] <zoohouse> Biovore: thanks
[05:24] <bsundsrud> zoohouse: also, df -h will show you which are currently mounted
[05:24] <zoohouse> thanks
[05:24] <bsundsrud> red, try it from the command line
[05:24] <bsundsrud> it may not have shown up in the kmenu yet
[05:25] <redshadowhero> I tried kismet on the command line...
[05:25] <kirke> hello, I can't send attachment trouhgt my POP3 client like KMail or Thunderbird somebdoy has an idea?
[05:25] <redshadowhero> but it looks like it didn't work.
[05:26] <bsundsrud> kirke: neither work?
[05:27] <redshadowhero> after running kismet from the command line, I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31355/
[05:27] <kirke> bsundsrud, neither
[05:28] <kirke> bsundsrud,  I can send mails but WHITOUT attachment
[05:28] <bsundsrud> wow, thats strange.  not a smtp server problem?
[05:28] <kirke> bsundsrud, But in windows I can send trought outlook or thunderbird
[05:28] <bsundsrud> redshadowhero: if you do it as superuser it should work (sudo)
[05:28] <wolferine> anyone an fTPd expert? having a permission issue :/
[05:30] <bsundsrud> kirke: sorry, im not sure what to tell you... maybe try evolution and see if that works?
[05:30] <redshadowhero> I did it as sudo, and I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31356/
[05:31] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, what issue?
[05:31] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, its long :)
[05:32] <wolferine> r u ready ? :)
[05:32] <hitmanWilly> ok, spill it
[05:33] <wolferine> so I have two users on my system, user and ftp_user. i use my ftp_user to login into my FTP, my user has permissions and ownership of a mount on my system and I want to offer that in my /home/ftp_user, so I use mount --bind to allow access to that mount,
[05:33] <wolferine> if I login, using ftp_user, and I want to allow the user to download, what ownership/permissions (minimum) need to be set?
[05:34] <wolferine> someone had suggested making a group, with user and ftp_user in it, and setting the files permissions to allow the group to do what I need
[05:34] <wolferine> or you just want to talk in #linux?
[05:35] <wolferine> headmonkey might offer some info on it too, I hope :)
[05:35] <nzk> I'm booted into the Kubuntu live CD, where exactly is the option to install this?
[05:35] <wolferine> nzk, desktop
[05:35] <nzk> It was babbling about file protocol errors once the DE came up.
[05:35] <nzk> And it's not on the desktop :\
[05:37] <nzk> wolferine: I was perhaps thinking that there was a command that the icon was tied to/
[05:37] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, if the user acct being accessed is ftp_user, you could set the group perms to RO, and everything else to nil, then add user to the ftp_user group if you need him to have access
[05:37] <nzk> s///?
[05:38] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, I was wanting to access it the other way around
[05:38] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, ? explain...

[05:40] <hitmanWilly> ty
[05:40] <hitmanWilly> i was about 2 secs away from an /ignore
[05:41] <wolferine> and the other part, is the daemon can be set to deny/allow users as well
[05:41] <wolferine> so its complicated, at what level do you stop
[05:41] <redshadowhero> wait... what was going all with all the cut/pasting?
[05:41] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, if this is a public ftp server, i wouldn't worry about that
[05:42] <wolferine> well, to allow uploads, I do
[05:42] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, ah, gotcha
[05:42] <wolferine> so ill look into what you said, and give her a try
[05:44] <nzk> Kubuntu LiveCD has no desktop icon for installation, what should I do?
[05:45] <miles> wtf@nzk
[05:45] <miles> put that cd in the microwave and burn a new one
[05:45] <redshadowhero> agreed
[05:45] <robotgeek> nzk: hmm, you said it came up errors?
[05:45] <robotgeek> nzk: what kind of error?
[05:47] <nzk> robotgeek: "File protocols failed to load"
[05:48] <redshadowhero> how do I uninstall things that I installed with apt-get?
[05:48] <robotgeek> nzk: are you able to access the rest of the desktop?
[05:48] <inteliwasp> could someone point me to a guide to allow me to allow internet access to a computer from another?
[05:49] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, so make ftp_user a part of user's group
[05:49] <wolferine> then set the group permission to read
[05:49] <wolferine> and I should be able to login and down load?
[05:49] <wolferine> if the daemon is setup correctly, obviouslyt
[05:51] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, so let me get this straight, you want to give ftp access to ftp_user to files owned by user, or am i totally off the map?
[05:51] <wolferine> correct
[05:51] <wolferine> i am useing mount --bind to access my user's files, within the ftp_user dir
[05:51] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, this isn't a public server, is it?
[05:52] <wolferine> its accessible anywhere
[05:52] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, as in outside folks accessing it?
[05:52] <wolferine> yes, 'folks' can access it :)
[05:53] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, ok, giving the general piblic access to you local user's files is a REALLY bad idea
[05:53] <nzk> robotgeek: Everything else works fine, at first glance, except the absent icons.
[05:53] <wolferine> its not the user's /home/user
[05:53] <wolferine> its a /media/hda5
[05:53] <wolferine> that the user has permissions to
[05:54] <robotgeek> nzk: try looking if there is a install icon somewhere in the menus
[05:55] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, ok, for security's sake, what i would then suggest is to make a seperate group, like ftp and putting both ftp_user and user into it
[05:56] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, and then changing the group owner of the files you want to access to ftp
[05:56] <wolferine> and even though user is the owner of the files/dirs, then giving group access, ftp_user should be able to access them as well
[05:56] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, yes, if the file perms are set correctly
[05:57] <nzk> robotgeek: Ubiquity failed unexpectedly
[05:57] <robotgeek> nzk: well, ubiquity is the installer. you might want to try the alternate install cd
[05:57] <nzk> -_-
[05:58] <nzk> I've tried MintOS, Gusty Gibbon, Fedora Core 7, and now Kubuntu 7.04. Will nothing work?
[05:58] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, you will have to change the group owner of the files to ftp, then i would set it to ro for group access
[05:59] <wolferine> let me read about permissions again
[05:59] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, while keeping full owner (user) permissions, so that he can add/remove files
[05:59] <wolferine> brb
[05:59] <hitmanWilly> its times like these i wish irc had a chalkboard...
[05:59] <wolferine> lol
[06:00] <wolferine> tru that

[06:05] <miles> ubotu is weak sauce
[06:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is weak sauce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:05] <wolferine> hehe
[06:05] <raylu> lol
[06:06] <elite101> lol
[06:06] <elite101> @ubotu
[06:06] <wolferine> to list a dir, you need read permissions?
[06:07] <hitmanWilly> ok, back
[06:07] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, to download files you do :)
[06:07] <wolferine> ah, no, you need x to list
[06:10] <elite101> wow kubuntu tribe 3 looks really clean
[06:10] <elite101> and well made
[06:11] <elite101> wow lol K desktop 3.5.7 i think i have 3.5.2
[06:12] <miles> Sysinfo for 'nzxt': Linux 2.6.20-15-generic running KDE 3.5.6, CPU: AMDAthlon643800+ at 1000 MHz (2016 bogomips), , RAM: 839/2012MB, 95 proc's, 1.45h up
[06:12] <miles> how do i do that to myself?
[06:13] <miles> append "| miles"?
[06:13] <raylu> huh?
[06:13] <raylu> do what?
[06:13] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, do I use chmod, or umask?
[06:13] <miles> Sysinfo for 'nzxt': Linux 2.6.20-15-generic running KDE 3.5.6, CPU: AMDAthlon643800+ at 1000 MHz (2016 bogomips), , RAM: 842/2012MB, 97 proc's, 1.46h up
[06:13] <miles> how do i send /sysinfo to myself without flooding?
[06:13] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, chmod, at least is what id use
[06:13] <elite101> better info i have p3 551Mhz 128/32 mb sd ram ohh yeah 4.3gb hardrive 2300 rpm!!!
[06:13] <wolferine> the umask is mostly used within the ftpd
[06:14] <elite101> did i mention me Nvidia Vanta 16mb
[06:14] <elite101> lol
[06:14] <raylu> oh, on that note
[06:14] <elite101> can only run atari emu on this machine
[06:14] <raylu> how do i get ftpd to set a group when uploading?
[06:14] <miles> cs:s
[06:14] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, so I should really be setting folders to entirely different permissions, then my files?
[06:14] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, yes, especially if you want to allow uploads
[06:15] <wolferine> -rw-r--r-- for regular files and drwxr-xr-x for directories (thats what the tutorial is explaining)
[06:15] <elite101> why is it when ppl make linux distro's they try to match it to M$?????
[06:15] <wolferine> which equates to umask 022
[06:15] <miles> so MS users transition over easier
[06:15] <elite101> like nymbus and FAMELIX???
[06:15] <elite101> okay ic
[06:15] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, that should work
[06:15] <elite101> maybe i should of used that
[06:16] <elite101> all u have to do is get a windows icons and taskbar to change from gray to blue
[06:16] <wolferine> ok, lets test this out
[06:16] <miles> ubuntu > all (except maybe gentoo)
[06:17] <raylu> lol
[06:17] <raylu> i tried gentoo after hearing about how great emerge was
[06:17] <miles> same <---
[06:17] <raylu> the equivalent of "sudo aptitude update" is a 200mb download
[06:17] <wolferine> how can I chmod dirs only?
[06:17] <raylu> and the equivalent of "sudo aptitude upgrade" is like 50 commands and an hour of compiling
[06:17] <wolferine> and in that same sense, how can i do files only?
[06:17] <miles> my linux xp isnt high enough for gentoo..... im only a lvl 4
[06:17] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, cd .. and chmod the dir
[06:18] <miles> 2950/3600 xp
[06:18] <raylu> i think he wants -R, hitmanWilly
[06:18] <wolferine> no no
[06:18] <elite101> what is redhat linux?
[06:18] <wolferine> how can I just chmod all the dirs in a dir
[06:18] <wolferine> and not the files..
[06:18] <wolferine> and vice versa
[06:18] <hitmanWilly> raylu, no, that will chmod recursively through the whole dir
[06:18] <elite101> or suses? like branches off of the os linux?
[06:18] <wolferine> how can I chmod the files, and not the dirs?
[06:18] <miles> elite101, "linux" is really just the kernel
[06:18] <elite101> yeah
[06:18] <miles> gnu/linux is what you are using on your desktop
[06:18] <elite101> so suse is like a branch of it?
[06:19] <miles> when someone comes along and modifies the kernel to their liking, and release it, that becomes a distro
[06:19] <elite101> and then comes like kubuntu and such
[06:19] <elite101> okay ic
[06:19] <raylu> hitmanWilly, I'm aware, but there's no other way of chmodding multiple files, is there?
[06:19] <miles> so, Novell modified the kernel and suse came of it
[06:19] <elite101> but whats redhat another version like dapper? feisty feet?
[06:19] <raylu> !linux
[06:19] <ubotu> Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[06:19] <miles> laff
[06:19] <elite101> lol
[06:20] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, individually, or in a file manager, you can highlight multiple ones and chmod them all at once
[06:20] <wolferine> but not via cli?
[06:20] <raylu> or you could write a bash script for it if you really feel like overkill
[06:20] <wolferine> ... easily
[06:20] <raylu> overkill IS easy.
[06:20] <raylu> chmod -R -rwx /
[06:20] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, you could, but it would involve some scripting
[06:20] <wolferine> can I just chmod everything all at once then?
[06:20] <elite101> just downloaded 130mb in like 5mins :) my kubuntu is almost kinda finished
[06:20] <wolferine> so I can move into dirs, and download files
[06:21] <raylu> huh?
[06:21] <elite101> does kubuntu 7.04 have dapper?
[06:21] <raylu> ...
[06:21] <elite101> or is it feisty feet?
[06:21] <raylu> dapper is kubuntu 5
[06:21] <raylu> er, wait
[06:21] <elite101> kubuntu 5?
[06:21] <raylu> it's 6, i think
[06:21] <hitmanWilly> 6.06 actually
[06:21] <elite101> yeah thats what i have
[06:21] <raylu> feisty fawn is 7.04
[06:21] <wolferine> so the dir would have to have rwxr-xr-- and the files would have r--r--r--
[06:21] <miles> feisty fawn pwnz
[06:21] <elite101> but i am scared its going to be diffrent?
[06:21] <wolferine> that should be the correct permissions, right?
[06:21] <raylu> wolferine, why doesn't the owner have permissions to write to his own files?
[06:22] <raylu> wolferine, correct for what?
[06:22] <elite101> will it be a big change from dapper to feisty?
[06:22] <elite101> or harldy notice?
[06:22] <wolferine> raylu, your in the middle of something
[06:22] <raylu> elite101, yes. feisty eats humans for breakfast
[06:22] <wolferine> oh wait
[06:22] <elite101> lol ahhhh
[06:22] <hitmanWilly> raylu, its a long story
[06:22] <raylu> lol
[06:22] <wolferine> that is incorrect
[06:22] <wolferine> so files would be rwxr--r--
[06:22] <wolferine> i mean
[06:22] <elite101> is fiesty good? like would a dapper user like me notice the diff?
[06:22] <raylu> no
[06:22] <raylu> upgrade immediately. now. go.
[06:22] <elite101> lol i dont have it
[06:22] <miles> laff
[06:23] <elite101> i am getting it now (planning on burning all the iso's and distros out there!!)
[06:23] <miles> why
[06:23] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, do I have to chmod them seperately then?
[06:23] <elite101> lol for fun
[06:23] <wolferine> individually then*
[06:23] <elite101> PUD doesnt look that bad either
[06:23] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, probably
[06:23] <wolferine> ugh
[06:23] <elite101> a mac user to get into linux
[06:23] <elite101> PUD
[06:24] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, you could just chmod -R the whole thing to what you want the files to be then go back and chmod the dirs individually, that should save you some time
[06:24] <elite101> will i need a DVD-R to install a distro at all?
[06:24] <raylu> no
[06:24] <wolferine> yeah
[06:24] <hitmanWilly> elite101, not with *buntu
[06:24] <elite101> i have a DVD-drive but its not a burner
[06:24] <wolferine> i just did 755
[06:25] <gandhii> Adept is giving me this error "You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one."
[06:25] <wolferine> and I can move into the dirs
[06:25] <wolferine> and dl the files
[06:25] <wolferine> will the x in the files be an issue though?
[06:25] <gandhii> I can't seem to find anything in htop that looks like a package manager...  whats going on?
[06:25] <wolferine> via ftp...
[06:25] <elite101> but will they have it in cd-r but just that they cant boot from live cd? lol they prob will have that in the future so many apps and updates
[06:25] <elite101> on only 700mb
[06:25] <elite101> instead of 4.7gb u can put windows on there and run it (slowwwwwww....)
[06:26] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, not for the existing files, but there is the possibility that someone could upload a script and execute it
[06:26] <wolferine> hitmanWilly, true
[06:26] <wolferine> so the permissions of the files in the upload dir will be affected by umask, defined in my ftpd.conf :)
[06:26] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, now, granted, it wouldn't have root perms, but it could still be a headache
[06:26] <raylu> Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat | http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/25/2228207
[06:27] <raylu> so, anyone know of
[06:27] <wolferine> correct?
[06:27] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, yup, a umask would actually be good in this case
[06:27] <raylu> a way to get proftpd to set a group for uploaded files?
[06:27] <wolferine> right
[06:27] <wolferine> i think I am getting the hang of this
[06:27] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, if you set a umask of 022, it should prevent that
[06:27] <wolferine> right
[06:27] <elite101> can windows read linux partitions if u set a linux HDD in a windows computer can u open it up?
[06:28] <hitmanWilly> wolferine, umask just adds additional restrictions on top of the already existing permissions
[06:28] <elite101> under my computer
[06:28] <wolferine> now my file system is working, not to figure out how to break the ftpd :)
[06:28] <raylu> elite101, yes
[06:28] <raylu> ubuntu installs as ext3 by default
[06:28] <gandhii> elite:   there are file managers made to read ext2 or 3 and reiserfs filesystems from windows
[06:29] <raylu> *filesystem drivers
[06:29] <hitmanWilly> elite101, you'll need the ext3 driver on the win box, tho
[06:29] <elite101> ohh darn lol
[06:29] <raylu> ...
[06:29] <gandhii> elite:  google it and dl
[06:30] <wolferine> sweet
[06:30] <wolferine> thanks for the patience hitman
[06:30] <hitmanWilly> ok, all, bedtime for me
[06:30] <hitmanWilly> np
[06:30] <wolferine> ill get you back some time ;)
[06:30] <hitmanWilly> :)
[06:30] <wolferine> nite
[06:30] <jbrouhard> Anyone here have problems with ipw3945 wireless?
[06:30] <jbrouhard> IHalf the time the wireless works, the other half it doesn't.
[06:30] <miles> ipw3945 worked tits on fiesty fawn
[06:30] <miles> tits = great
[06:31] <miles> it was a restricted driver though
[06:31] <jbrouhard> I have Feisty Fawn
[06:31] <miles> so stallman cursed me for that, but whatever, i got wireless
[06:31] <jbrouhard> problem is it's not working 100%
[06:31] <miles> do you have restricted driver manager?
[06:31] <jbrouhard> it craps out every once in a while.. i'm not sure if it's my WAP tho
[06:31] <jbrouhard> No
[06:31] <jbrouhard> this is a fresh from CD install ?
[06:32] <jbrouhard> how do i install restricted driver manager ??
[06:32] <miles> 1 - it should be installed automatically...
[06:32] <jbrouhard> (sorry for being a n00b here... first time i've had this kind of wireless issue in kubuntu)
[06:32] <miles> !find restricted-driver-manager
[06:32] <miles> ok it hates me
[06:32] <ubotu> Package/file restricted-driver-manager does not exist in feisty
[06:32] <jbrouhard> lol
[06:32] <miles> !find restrict
[06:32] <ubotu> Found: restricted-manager, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-386, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-generic, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-lowlatency, ubuntu-restricted-extras (and 10 others)
[06:32] <jbrouhard> restricted-manager probably
[06:32] <miles> !find restricted-manager
[06:32] <ubotu> Found: restricted-manager
[06:32] <jbrouhard> !find restricted-manager
[06:33] <jbrouhard> dohhhhh
[06:33] <miles> "sudo apt-get install restricted-manager"
[06:33] <jbrouhard> ok
[06:33] <jbrouhard> thanks
[06:33] <miles> see if it detects ur card
[06:33] <jbrouhard> *waits for firefox to finish first
[06:33] <jbrouhard> If this works, you'd have saved my behind <BG>
[06:33] <miles> im not promising anything...all i did was tell ubuntu its ok to use the restricted driver
[06:33] <miles> and it workd
[06:34] <jbrouhard> Ahhh
[06:34] <jbrouhard> what laptop ?
[06:34] <miles> asus f3f
[06:34] <jbrouhard> I have a Toshiba Satellite with the Intel Pro 3945 ABG card.
[06:34] <jbrouhard> hmm
[06:34] <miles> probably same chipset though
[06:34] <jbrouhard> I've been wondering if my wireless access point has been the biggest issue
[06:34] <jbrouhard> probably
[06:34] <miles> ipw3945 works..i know for a fact, my work and personal laptop have it and work with ubuntu
[06:35] <jbrouhard> Yeah
[06:35] <jbrouhard> it's working here
[06:35] <jbrouhard> but it's just going on and off here
[06:35] <jbrouhard> half the time it'll download
[06:35] <jbrouhard> then all of a sudden i have MAJOR connection problems
[06:35] <miles> you have your essid and/or key set?
[06:35] <jbrouhard> yes
[06:35] <jbrouhard> it's an open access point
[06:35] <jbrouhard> so no key
[06:36] <jbrouhard> (only place that requries a key is on campus)
[06:36] <raylu> jbrouhard, so when it doesn't work, what do you do?
[06:36] <faires> Adept can't find any tetex package. I'm using Feisty, and when fetching updates, it accuses an error on Release GPG.
[06:36] <faires> Does someone knows what's happening?
[06:36] <jbrouhard> When it's not working, I usually hope it'll kcik in soon enough
[06:36] <raylu> faires, sounds like the repository is insecure or you haven't added the repos' key yet
[06:36] <jbrouhard> when I run pings, it'll go with a couple of 9 to 10msec replies, then drop one, two maybe three, then resume
[06:36] <faires> (And if those 2 facts have something to do with each other
[06:36] <faires> )
[06:37] <raylu> jbrouhard, sounds like a signal strength issue
[06:37] <jbrouhard> could be
[06:37] <jbrouhard> Want me to post my signal notes from iwconfig ?
[06:37] <raylu> do you know how to use the rest of the wireless commands?
[06:37] <jbrouhard> huh.
[06:37] <elite101> what is the oldest os? i just found out i had windows 1.01 !!! lmao my parents bought the pc at a garage sale 386mb HDD
[06:37] <jbrouhard> signal level=-43dBm
[06:37] <dr_willis> I used CP/M ages ago. :)
[06:37] <gustavo__> hello
[06:37] <jbrouhard> raylu: not really
[06:38] <jbrouhard> noise level is -44dBm
[06:38] <jbrouhard> not sure why it's that high.
[06:38] <dr_willis> I had a 15mb scsi hd the other day. :)
[06:38] <elite101> wow
[06:38] <faires> raylu: I'm using au.archive.ubuntu.edu
[06:39] <faires> How can I add the repository key?
[06:39] <raylu> jbrouhard, "iwlist scan" and "sudo dhclient eth1" will help
[06:39] <raylu> assuming eth1 is the name of your wireless device
[06:39] <jbrouhard> it is
[06:39] <jbrouhard> i just use sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ESSID
[06:39] <jbrouhard> and then sudo dhclient eth1
[06:39] <jbrouhard> seems to work, as my WAP doesn't broadcast
[06:40] <jbrouhard> it took 11 minutes to download a 10mb file
[06:40] <jbrouhard> that's how screwy the wireless is right now
[06:40] <miles> jbrouhard : try "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" see if your AP shows up
[06:40] <jbrouhard> Gimme a sec
[06:40] <jbrouhard> it does
[06:40] <miles> if you are positive you have the right AP, i always do "sudo ifdown eth1; ifup eth1"
[06:40] <raylu> faires, wget http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add
[06:40] <jbrouhard> Signal and Noise level are both way below
[06:41] <raylu> faires, replace the url with their gpg key
[06:41] <redshadowhero> elite101: Windows 1.01?
[06:41] <redshadowhero> elite101:
[06:41] <elite101> yeah
[06:41] <jbrouhard> Oh, I'm 100% positive i have the right access point :)
[06:41] <elite101> lol
[06:41] <raylu> miles, "dhclient = ifdown/up"
[06:41] <jbrouhard> it's the only one within the area.
[06:41] <miles> really?!
[06:41] <elite101> the paint looks the same in xp
[06:41] <redshadowhero> elite101: The first chapter in a long saga of evil?
[06:41] <raylu> miles, sort of...
[06:41] <miles> o
[06:41] <elite101> lol
[06:41] <jbrouhard> I'm wondering
[06:41] <jbrouhard> if my noise level is the problem..
[06:41] <raylu> miles, i dont think it does the pre-up, up, post-up, pre-down, down, and post-down stuff
[06:41] <jbrouhard> -44dBm ?
[06:41] <elite101> my first pc (obvisously pre-loaded with linux i think the kernel was 0.5? or something)
[06:41] <miles> i throw the ifdown in just to make sure its down
[06:42] <raylu> but....you want it to be up, not down :P
[06:42] <raylu> elite101, i highly doubt that
[06:42] <elite101> lol
[06:42] <ima> hi all
[06:42] <elite101> computer was so old it needed drivers for the hdd lmao
[06:43] <jbrouhard> *sigh*
[06:43] <elite101> well brb going to let the Kubuntu 7.04 downlaod
[06:43] <jbrouhard> i'm thinking the problem's my wireless...
[06:43] <jbrouhard> be right back
[06:43] <ima> is there somebody can help me about how to download YM in kubuntu?
[06:43] <elite101> wait..why didnt they support linux on psp? and only DS?
[06:43] <raylu> wtf ima?
[06:43] <redshadowhero> because ds is better?
[06:43] <raylu> ym = ?
[06:43] <dr_willis> YM?
[06:43] <elite101> no it is 66mhz psp is 333Mhz
[06:43] <miles> elite101 - they do support linux on psp
[06:43] <ima> I dont understand about linux
[06:44] <elite101> where?
[06:44] <elite101> i wanna get it
[06:44] <ima> yes, Yahoo Messanger
[06:44] <miles> my understanding is psp is actually easier to get linux on
[06:44] <elite101> yes
[06:44] <faires> raylu: ok, it worked, thanks a lot! :)
[06:44] <elite101> lol but they programmed it to the ds?
[06:44] <ima> yes
[06:44] <miles> i dont think so?
[06:44] <dr_willis> ima,  it pays to be very clear on irc.  - there are Chat clients that can do Yahoo Messenger chat under linux.
[06:44] <dr_willis> ima,  i do think the official Yahoomessenger client for linux is VERY VERY old and out of date.
[06:44] <dr_willis> !im
[06:44] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[06:45] <miles> o i didnt know gaim was gnome...
[06:45] <dr_willis> I dont know what clients do what services any more. so good luck. :)
[06:45] <dr_willis> Gaim has also been renamed to Pidgen I think
[06:45] <dr_willis> !pidgen
[06:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pidgen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <ima> but I usually use YM to chat to all my friends and suppliers
[06:45] <elite101> i wish i can get kubuntu 6.06.1 running on psp with a 4gb memstick or wait? DSL linux would run good only needs 10mb of ram at the most
[06:45] <dr_willis> ima,  you need a client that can do 'ym' then.
[06:45] <elite101> anyways brb
[06:45] <ima> hmmm..
[06:46] <dr_willis> Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM

[06:47] <dr_willis> !splash
[06:47] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.

[06:47] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork

[06:50] <leuz> how can i change my bootscreen in kubuntu?
[06:50] <redshadowhero> !splash | leuz

[06:50] <redshadowhero> is that what you are looking for?

[06:51] <wolferine> anyone use x-sys for xchat?
[06:51] <wolferine> how do you get it to work?
[06:51] <leuz> how about in kde
[06:51] <dr_willis> install it.. and it worked.. :)
[06:51] <wolferine> dr_willis, me?
[06:51] <miles> !miles is sweet
[06:52] <dr_willis> wolferine,  yes.. ive insgtalled it.. and it works.. dident have to tweak nothing
[06:52] <redshadowhero> he doesn't even answer to that one, miles
[06:52] <redshadowhero> you must be pretty bad.
[06:52] <wolferine> dr_willis, reconnect?
[06:52] <miles> yea i wonder why
[06:52] <wolferine> and how do you use commands? /sysinfo ?
[06:52] <dr_willis> wolferine,  it does startup when xchat starts.. ive never told it to do so.  if you just installed it and xchat is running.. well you might want to quit/restart xchat
[06:53] <wolferine> yeah
[06:53] <wolferine> i cannot see why it would work without a restart
[06:53] <wolferine> now, how do you execute commands?
[06:53] <dr_willis> run it manually then and see
[06:53] <dr_willis> :)
[06:53] <wolferine> just place the / in front?
[06:53] <miles> im downloading bitchx, i have high expectations for this based on its name
[06:54] <dr_willis> wolferine,  no idea. i dont know what the command is for it.
[06:54] <dr_willis> wolferine,  since its a kde panel applet thing.. im guessing its a program launched by xchat when it starts
[06:54] <wolferine> oh

[08:18] <Solifugus> How can I test to see if my microphone is working?
[08:19] <kalorin`> uh? plug it into a radio and hit record and hum a few bars?
[08:20] <kalorin`> night
[08:21] <mattk> Solifugus you mean on linux? or just in general?
[08:21] <Solifugus> on kubuntu
[08:21] <mattk> apt-get install audacity
[08:21] <mattk> it's the best app in general
[08:21] <Solifugus> nobody can hear me over skype.. but i hear them...
[08:22] <Solifugus> what is audacity?
[08:22] <mattk> audio editing sfotware
[08:22] <ShockValue> anyone know how i can get the Levenshtein lib installed for python?
[08:22] <mattk> have you tried the skype echo test?
[08:22] <ShockValue> i cant find it in synaptic or aptitude
[08:22] <mattk> try calling echo123 and you can test the mic that way too
[08:26] <Solifugus> mattk: cool.. i will try that.
[08:28] <Solifugus> mattk: ok.. it is clear that my mic is not working for some reason.
[08:29] <Solifugus> I haven't used it since before I installed feisty fawn...  so i presume it just hasn't worked and i don't know why not.
[08:31] <mattk> umm, ok first things first, lets check a couple of things
[08:31] <mattk> volumes in kmix?
[08:31] <mattk> and then also in alsamixer.. just to be sure to be sure
[08:39] <Solifugus> in kmix, is it the "input" tab.. and should they be slid up ... or down?
[08:39] <mattk> up
[08:40] <Solifugus> ok.. they are up.. but i tried that earlier and it wasn't enough... let me try alsamixer
[08:41] <Solifugus> i don't appear to have a program called alsamixer
[08:41] <mattk> umm... yeah it might not be installed by default
[08:41] <sugus13> hi
[08:42] <sugus13> anyone here with good experience with ssh? and htc hopefully too :P
[08:42] <mattk> on one of my old computers, I had a SB Live card, and it had lots of channels and switches, and the first time I got it working was through alsamixer
[08:42] <mattk> but you should have all the same options in kmix
[08:42] <sugus13> my problem is: it seems that my server only allows me to conect once at a time!
[08:42] <Solifugus> mattk: maybe its a kernel issue
[08:42] <sugus13> (it's my home pc, I have root access)
[08:42] <mattk> umm.... what sound card do you have?
[08:44] <mattk> Solifugus type cat /proc/asound/cards
[08:44] <Solifugus> mattk: intel 82801G
[08:44] <Solifugus> mattk: according to lspci
[08:46] <Solifugus> mattk: first line of /proc/asound/cards is: 0 [Intel          ] : HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
[08:46] <Solifugus> second line is: HDA Intel at 0xd2400000 irq 22
[08:47] <mattk> Solifugus  afaik they are supposed to be well supported
[08:47] <Solifugus> then i wonder what's wrong
[08:47] <mattk> umm... actually, my old work computer had a problem with that module and the mic, and I downloaded the latest alsa modules and it worked perfectly... but that was about 2 years ago, so I wouldn't think that would be a problem
[08:48] <mattk> Solifugus but it's always an option,... you can go to http://www.alsa-project.org/ and get the latest drivers.
[08:50] <mattk> Solifugus also this has been useful to me in the past http://www.alsa-project.org/~valentyn/Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO-6.html
[08:50] <Solifugus> do you know what the module name for it is?
[08:50] <mattk> Solifugus no i'm not sure... sorry
[08:52] <jdt> hi, is there a gutsy 7.10 channel?
[08:52] <Solifugus> mattk: ok.. well.. thanks for the references.. i will see what i can do from here... thanks many times over..
[08:52] <pag> jdt, #ubuntu+1
[08:52] <jdt> pah: thankyou..
[08:52] <mattk> Solifugus no problems

[09:19] <sammy> I'm looking at network manager on a feisty fawn 7.04 cd and it's got a nicelist of ssids in range, and when you select one that is wpa2, it recognizes that.

[09:49] <sveweck> I would much appreciate help :)
[10:12] <dragon_> hello :-) can anyone here tell me how to stop apt-get from telling me a package is "Broken" when its not?
[10:18] <Prophezy> hmm...wierd....everything is gone... when i restarted my computer... my pics, my programs, my my my...soul is GONE!
[10:18] <Prophezy> why why why why

[10:21] <bauer> jvm ? my firefox mozilla claims that i am missing JVM. I cant figure how to install it. It says i have to do it manually
[10:22] <dragon_> yes i have tryed tht and it removes it

[11:43] <kuwanger> pag: No.
[11:46] <kuwanger> Further, running something like Heroes will cause the problem to resolve itself.  I'm lead to believe that this is somehow related to changing the default mouse cursor.  Either that or that it's related to my graphics card somehow.
[11:47] <steev> how do i connect to my buddies macbook (he is in my room using my internet connection)
[11:48] <steev> anyone?
[11:48] <jussi01> !samba
[11:48] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:49] <jussi01> steev: you can use samba fr macs also
[11:50] <steev> sudo apt-get install samba?
[11:50] <jussi01> steev: and smbfs
[11:50] <jussi01> so: sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
[11:51] <kaminix> Why do you use apt-get and not aptitude?
[11:53] <steev> i dont know, should i?
[11:53] <Level15> hi there. i'm having issues partitioning my HD. I have a few unallocated cylinders, but fdisk refuses to use them (it takes me directly to other sector of the disk, which is not the one i want to use). If i try to tell it to use the sectors i want, it says that the value is out of range... see http://pastebin.com/m3567b9c1 any ideas?
[11:54] <steev> how do i open samba
[11:55] <TheGateKeeper> steev: system settings --> sharing ??
[11:55] <Level15> steev: you don't "open" samba... you use it's services or whatever, in a different way depending on what you are trying to do. what are you trying to do?
[11:56] <steev> my buddy has a macbook and i want to transfer music onto it from my computer
[11:56] <Level15> anyone with my fdisk issue?
[11:56] <Level15> steev: is your friend's macbook running ssh server? if so, i think it will be way easier to transfer files using sftp/scp instead of samba
[11:57] <kuwanger> I'll be back later, perhaps with more information to my problem. :/
[11:57] <Level15> BTOH, you might want too try #macosx or however it's called
[11:57] <steev> im not sure how do i figure that out
[11:57] <Level15> *to
[11:58] <steev> he has a wireless card and is running of my internet connection to use the net
[11:58] <Level15> ask him if he is running it... he should know, i think
[12:00] <steev> he wouldn't, he just got the macbook and isn't computer friendly
[12:00] <grul> steev, go to Sharing in System Preferences and click the checkbox for SSH :)
[12:00] <Level15> so no ideas on my fdisk issue?
[12:00] <Level15> steev: maybe you and your friend should try #macosx ...
[12:01] <Level15> i mean, your question is kind of offtopic here
[12:03] <steev> i dont see that SSH checkbox
[12:03] <vbhide> does anyone know how to change the output device on amarok

[12:10] <kaminix> Where do I find the changelog? I mean, the source code is still the same, isn't it?
[12:12] <jussi01> kaminix: no, the source is different. it may be a tiny chang, probably to the debian packaging
[12:14] <kaminix> Ah, it's the ubuntu teams altered source?

[12:26] <vbhide> what do u mean by clear bjwebb?
[12:26] <bjwebb> get rid off stuff, so it starts again
[12:27] <vbhide> sorry bjwebb
[12:28] <Apollo1> I think, bjwebb means the "most used applications" menu in KDE
[12:29] <bjwebb> yup
[12:29] <bjwebb> sorry, im trying to play frozen bubble whilst asking qs
[12:30] <bandan> hey all
[12:30] <bandan> I NEED HELP
[12:30] <bjwebb> bandan: WITH WHAT
[12:30] <bandan> i want to mount my windows to kubuntu
[12:30] <whyhankee> bjwebb: check .kde/share/config/kickerrc
[12:30] <bjwebb> whyhankee: kk
[12:30] <bandan> for tht i am following instructions as given in ubuntu documentation
[12:30] <Apollo1> bandan: is the WIN partition in /media/ ?
[12:31] <bandan> but i am nt allowed to change the contents of /etc/fstab which is needed
[12:31] <bandan> its not there in /media
[12:31] <Apollo1> are you root?
[12:31] <Apollo1> as in "sudo <command>" ?
[12:31] <pag> bandan, kdesu kate /etc/fstab
[12:31] <bandan> nopes
[12:31] <bandan> wait lemme try
[12:31] <pag> bandan, or sudo nano /etc/fstab  if you prefer CLI
[12:32] <Apollo1> pag: what's the difference between kdesu and su?
[12:32] <pag> !kdesu | Apollo1
[12:32] <ubotu> Apollo1: In KDE, use  kdesu  to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Do *not* use  sudo <GUI application> ; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo
[12:32] <Apollo1> oh
[12:32] <Apollo1> ty
[12:32] <bandan> 1 more thing
[12:32] <Apollo1> I always used su
[12:32] <Apollo1> in KDE
[12:32] <Apollo1> :S
[12:33] <bandan> my fstab looks quite different from what is given in the tutorial i am following
[12:33] <bandan> moreover as per the tutorial my sda1 should be there in /media but its not there
[12:34] <pag> bandan, fstab is adapted to your HD partitions - And they usually are different than the ones in ezample
[12:34] <pag> example even :)
[12:34] <bandan> k
[12:34] <bandan> i have made backup of my fstab in /home
[12:34] <bandan> i hope nothing would happen to the system even if i wrongly edit it

[02:51] <cap|com> or can i somehow mount it like an iso file?
[02:55] <puppetmaster> hello everyone
[02:56] <BluesKaj> cap|com, try VLC for media img files

[02:56] <krzysiek> use "sudo"
[02:56] <puppetmaster> & i entered the password put he give me a fail command
[02:57] <puppetmaster> i know sudo tool it's great
[02:57] <krzysiek> on default settings you cant login root

[03:37] <tzanger> okay I have more data on my Kopete 100% CPU/Mem usage
[03:38] <tzanger> it seems with kopete chat windows open (MSN in my case), certain file ops cause it to consume all memory before calming back down
[03:38] <tzanger> it isn't kontact related
[03:38] <tzanger> kontact's just triggering it
[03:38] <tzanger> konqueror's web page archival triggers it too
[03:38] <tzanger> i.e. msn cht window open, archive a web page, kopete goes nuts
[03:38] <tzanger> consumes all CPU and memory
[03:38] <tzanger> then about a minute later releases all the RAM and settles back down

[03:47] <eagles0513875> sveweck: type this in the command line
[03:48] <eagles0513875> sveweck: type in sudo qtparted u have to have root privilediges

[03:52] <arun> i killed them

[03:53] <arun> for some stuff the shadow appears before the window, and it's a bit odd
[03:53] <miles> so why would sony allow people to installl linux on the ps3 but then lock out the nvidia card to development?

[03:55] <arun> like i dont particularly like the os x window decorations and glossy buttons and scroll bars, but stuff on that looks sharp and clean. window decorations (or small things like loading bars, buttons, etc) in kubuntu or other linux systems seem to have 'rough edges'
[03:55] <arun> i'm not saying it's a huge deal, i still love kubuntu
[03:55] <arun> but would be nice to have a clean, smooth, polished windeco
[03:56] <eagles0513875> arun: u shoudl try beryl or the new compiz fusion
[03:56] <eagles0513875> ull have a blast with that

[03:59] <arun> eagles: talking about curves, and simple styles and stuff which should be taken for granted as not as polished as styles on os x

[04:10] <labrat265> good morning everyone.  i am hoping to get some help.  i've downloaded a cd via bittorrent, but the files are all apple lossless.  i couldn't get krb to burn apple lossless files so i downloaded all of the medibuntu stuff.  i still cannot get k3b to burn those files, is there another way?
[04:11] <BluesKaj> kaminix, what's different about your version of mplayer, if any ?
[04:11] <BluesKaj> kaminix, i was going to ask eariler but i had to take a call
[04:12] <arun> i tried downloading a theme from kde-look.org, but i only get some text that looks like some settings
[04:12] <arun> how do i install it
[04:13] <eagles0513875> arun: did u get the source
[04:13] <kaminix> BluesKaj: No idea, but I compiled it from svn, and after all that work i deserve to use it ^^
[04:13] <labrat265> is there some program i can get that will let me convert my apple lossless files to mp3 or wave?
[04:13] <arun> eagles: http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/59541-domino_eternalorangerc

[04:14] <BluesKaj> ok :)
[04:15] <bootmaker> hat jemand hier ahnung von einem samba domaincontroller

[04:20] <Azzco> I can't boot my kubuntu installation, grub can't find the kernel it seems
[04:20] <ashlon> eagles0513875: what really made me want to switch is that my tablet worked on the live cd of kubuntu but not the gnome thanks!
[04:20] <wit> hello all,
[04:21] <eagles0513875> ashlon: i hate to say this but kde is so much better developed than gnome. btw do u like double clicking cuz i can show u how to change ur mouse to double clicking if you want me to
[04:21] <wit> i have a laptop in which i cant boot from the cd
[04:21] <wit> is there a way i can still load ubuntu/kubuntu on to it ?

[04:27] <wit> n o, i have a damaged cd rom, and an external usb dvd  - i can not boot from usb, - which is why i am asking if i can load in any other way - for excample from windows
[04:28] <dale> you can boot from usb.
[04:28] <dale> When your computer is boot up from bios
[04:29] <dale> press esc and select the device.
[04:29] <jhutchins> dale: It depends on the motherboard, not all can boot from USB.
[04:30] <jhutchins> dale: Also, the keysequence for the boot menu if any and for the BIOS setup are different on different boards.
[04:30] <jhutchins> wit: Yes, there is a way to install from windows.
[04:30] <jhutchins> !install | wit
[04:31] <ubotu> wit: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[04:33] <Azzco> I need some help with getting kubuntu to boot
[04:33] <wit> thanks for the heads up - will check it now
[04:33] <venik> has anyone used the SANE scanner driver with a parallle port scanner, like the old UMAX uc1260?
[04:34] <Azzco> a partition on the second HD in grub should be (hd1,x) right?
[04:34] <wit> jhutchins: i dont quite get it --- type !install | wit from where >?
[04:34] <wit> the cmd prompt in windows ?
[04:34] <dale> this chanel does not appear to be very popular, most of the users are bots.
[04:35] <eagles0513875> dale: only bot in here is ubotu
[04:35] <dale> So how comes like 5% of people here talk?
[04:36] <dale> the rest dont.
[04:36] <eagles0513875> dale: i dunno but u just got to be patient and it could be alot of the people are not at their computers
[04:36] <jhutchins> wit: That was to trigger the bot, ubotu, to tell you about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[04:36] <BluesKaj> dale ppl call up the ubot with a command abot apps or other utilities with: !application
[04:37] <jhutchins> venik: No, but I don't think the parallel port driver is loaded by default in kubuntu.
[04:37] <wit> does any one actually knows, cuz looking at tyhe documantation, i cant find a way to install if i cant boot from a cd
[04:38] <jhutchins> wit: Gee, how about the section of that doc called "Installation without a CD".
[04:38] <jhutchins> wit: Section 3.
[04:38] <dale> !application
[04:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about application - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:38] <jhutchins> wit: There's even a shortcut to it at the top of the doc.
[04:38] <BluesKaj> venik, I've used sane and kooka with HP3500c scanner on photos but the results were very disappointing ...much too dark no matter how I setup the lighting and colours
[04:39] <BluesKaj> wit do you have windows installed ?
[04:41] <graft> hey, does anyone ever get this strange bug where their sound starts looping incessantly?
[04:41] <incorrect> can i grep for stringA or stringB ?
[04:42] <wit> Bluekaj - yes. i do
[04:43] <rj_> ?
[04:45] <llutz> incorrect: egrep a|b string
[04:47] <aaaaaaaa> aaaaaaa
[04:51] <labrat265> i have just plugged in my external hard drive for the first time, but i cannot figure out how to access it
[04:52] <francisco> hola que tal como estamos
[04:52] <graft> labrat265: did you mount it?
[04:53] <labrat265> how do i do that?
[04:53] <francisco> tengo la version 7.04 de ubuntu, queria saber si puedo restablecer el panel de herramientas original de gnome, o sea, el que instala por defecto
[04:54] <francisco> hola alguien habla espaol

[04:54] <ubotu> francisco: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:54] <francisco> gracias obotu
[04:54] <graft> labrat265: what sort of drive is it?
[04:55] <labrat265> seagate
[04:55] <graft> no, i mean, SCSI, USB, etc.
[04:55] <labrat265> usb
[04:57] <graft> type 'sudo fdisk -l', see if it lists your drive
[04:59] <graft> labrat265, you give up?
[05:02] <zabadapp> labrat265: what OS are you running? (k)ubuntu should put the drive on the desktop when you connect
[05:04] <ShawnRisk> join #ubuntu
[05:04] <ShawnRisk> sorry about that, I wondering why the CA server which is Canadian is down?
[05:05] <ShawnRisk> trying to do apt-get update yet the CA server fails
[05:05] <jhutchins> zabadapp: "should" being the operative word here.  We've had a lot of people who had problems with hotplugged usb drives.
[05:06] <jhutchins> ShawnRisk: Pick a different one.
[05:06] <ShawnRisk> how?
[05:06] <labrat265> graft, sorry, i was afk.  i'll try that
[05:07] <labrat265> zabadapp:  i am running kubuntu
[05:07] <ShawnRisk> jhutchins: How do I pick another one?
[05:08] <jhutchins> !easysources | ShawnRisk
[05:08] <ubotu> ShawnRisk: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:08] <ShawnRisk> ok
[05:08] <dazjorz> Hi there
[05:08] <dazjorz> I'm having problems with the KDE packages
[05:08] <labrat265> graft: it shows my four hard drive partition, nothing else
[05:08] <dazjorz> There are KDE4 and KDE5 packages, but #kde says there is no KDE 5
[05:09] <dazjorz> Packages like kdelibs5
[05:09] <sparrw> how can i change the font that kpdf uses when it gets it wrong?
[05:09] <jhutchins> dazjorz: That's not kde5, that's kdelibs5.
[05:09] <zabadapp> labrat265: type "lsusb" in a terminal ... does it list you seagate
[05:10] <dazjorz> jhutchins: Why does kde4base depend on kdelibs5 ? =/
[05:10] <jhutchins> dazjorz: Since KDE4 is unstable and only available for testing, I can't tell you specificly, but obviously that's one of the packages that kde4 uses.
[05:11] <jhutchins> that's not kde4libs or kde5libs.
[05:11] <dazjorz> OK
[05:11] <jhutchins> that's kdelibs 5.
[05:11] <dazjorz> I see
[05:11] <jhutchins> dazjorz: So you're a kde developer who's going to test kde4, but you don't know that?
[05:11] <labrat265> zabadapp:  i just tried that and see literally nothing, should it take a while?
[05:11] <Minataku> zabadapp? That seems quite familiar....
[05:12] <dazjorz> jhutchins: no, I went on holiday for three weeks, which seems to have been three weeks too long, since I thought KDE 4 was the current stable and KDE 5 was unstable
[05:12] <dazjorz> but KDE 3 is the current stable, something mixed up in my head, it seems
[05:13] <jhutchins> dazjorz: Well, that can happen to anyone.
[05:13] <jhutchins> dazjorz: Yeah, 3.5.7 is stable and available.
[05:13] <dazjorz> OK, thanks for clearing up
[05:13] <dazjorz> but now ... er
[05:14] <jhutchins> dazjorz: 4 just released alpha 2.
[05:14] <dazjorz> I'm running apt-get -f install since something fucked up pretty well, I'll pastebin what it says
[05:14] <ShawnRisk> what is a server that someone here uses?
[05:14] <ShawnRisk> I use ca.archive.ubuntu.com but not working

[05:30] <ashlon> whats the command to install the latest drivers for nvidia anyone?
[05:30] <BluesKaj> meetings ...bah , hated them ...hardly anything ever gets done at them and I always found it was a way for the powers that be to find out who was creating probs in the company. :)

[05:44] <ShawnRisk> thanks for the debian.yorku.ca server that worked
[05:44] <genii> ShawnRisk: np
[05:44] <rustalot> jhutchins: nothing much, just general paranoia...
[05:44] <ShawnRisk> now I just have to get the other things working
[05:45] <rustalot> jhutchins: after all, better to spend a few minuites checking than to be infected

[05:45] <genii> ShawnRisk: Toronto
[05:45] <ShawnRisk> I live in Toronto but here in Edmonton for the summer
[05:47] <ShawnRisk> You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to 'aclocal.m4'. Which aclocal.m4 file do I add it to or make a new file?
[05:47] <genii> ShawnRisk: I need to take a vacation soon. Likely not to Edmonton tho LOL
[05:47] <ShawnRisk> LOL, Edmonton is a nice place, but I understand Alberta is Alberta
[05:48] <BluesKaj> genii, Manitoulin !
[05:48] <ShawnRisk> that is a nice place, but far
[05:49] <BluesKaj> 12 miles from me , ShawnRisk
[05:49] <ShawnRisk> in the US?
[05:49] <zabadapp> ashlon: start add/remove program, check unsupported and proprietary (uppel right), and search for nvidia .. under "system" you will find Nvidias binary driver

[05:51] <vengance> I have a problem with grub,
[05:51] <genii> BluesKaj: I had to take my diver cert in tobermory
[05:51] <c2c2rock> any idea what to do?
[05:52] <ShawnRisk> c2c2rock: change ca.archive to debian.yorku.ca
[05:52] <vengance> I have reinstalled windows, and I can't fix grub i kubunutu 7.04
[05:52] <vengance> how to fix it
[05:52] <BluesKaj> plenty of dive wrecks off manitoulin , genii

[05:53] <c2c2rock> ShawnRisk:  if i knew howto change it I would
[05:53] <genii> rustalot: change all  ca.archive.ubuntu.com to debian.yorku.ca  in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:53] <ShawnRisk> genii: You need to tell people how to change ca.archive to debian.yorku
[05:53] <pompellid> hi

[05:54] <genii> Seems like the sherbrooke repo is down today
[05:54] <raptorquest> How do I get Kopete to connect to MSN.  I saw an old post that said it had trouble with MSN but I am assuming that has been corrected.
[05:55] <ShawnRisk> :P
[05:55] <sparrw> when opening files with kate from konqueror, it won't try to actually load more than 6 simultaneously, which becomes noticable when each load takes a long time over a networked kioslave resource (like sftp://).  Is that controlled by konqueror or kate or kde in general?  Can it be changed?
[05:55] <rustalot> what's the find/replace command in vim?
[05:56] <dazjorz> [17:36]  <jhutchins> dazjorz: actually, it could be common to both.
[05:56] <dazjorz> jhutchins: so how do I uninstall kde4libs then?
[05:57] <ashlon> zabadapp: when I search under "any suite" it only brings up Nvtv TV Out under Multimedia,  no option for system.  Do I need to add any additional repositories?  I just have a fresh install
[05:58] <zabadapp> raptorquest: there is apparently a problem with knetworkmanager (located in the "systray") ... try to quit it and try to reconnect again
[05:59] <pompellid> I am having difficulty "upgrading" edgy to feisty. is there any place I can read up more?
[05:59] <zabadapp> did you check the checkboxes in the upper right corner ("show unsupported and properitary software") ??
[05:59] <Riddell> jhutchins: pong
[06:00] <zabadapp> ashlon: see above ^^
[06:01] <raptorquest> ok
[06:01] <ashlon> zabadapp: I unchecked proprietyary software but unsupported is checked...
[06:01] <zabadapp> I have both checked
[06:01] <c2c2rock> this yorku address what is the whole thing
[06:01] <zabadapp> ashlon: i have both checked
[06:01] <ashlon> zabadapp: ok that works =)
[06:03] <c2c2rock> genii: You need to tell people how to change ca.archive to debian.yorku
[06:03] <genii> c2c2rock: All ytou need to do is: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list    and replace all times of   ca.archive.ubuntu.com   with debian.yorku.ca   then save and retry for packages

[06:04] <Minataku> Say, genii, did you get that package out? (No worries if not)
[06:04] <pompellid> The upgrade wizard loads the distribution upgrade, which fails with "Failed to fetch http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/dists/edgy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" and the same for Sources.gz. any ideas?
[06:04] <genii> Minataku: Not yet, i been procrastinating actually
[06:05] <Minataku> genii: No worries
[06:05] <genii> c2c2rock: Try first: apt-get update
[06:06] <genii> actually more like sudo apt-get update
[06:06] <ShawnRisk> You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to 'aclocal.m4'. Which aclocal.m4 file do I add it to or make a new file?
[06:08] <genii> c2c2rock: It may be that the york university site does not have main C sources but only packages. I'm pretty sure its a complete repo however
[06:09] <kaminix> where do I find Konversation's media script so that I can edit it?
[06:10] <dazjorz> kaminix: ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts
[06:10] <kaminix> It's local? :o

[06:13] <BluesKaj> genii, when did yorku become repos-source ?
[06:13] <stamen> hi, I have asked about grub repair after installing windows, but the problem is specific with me
[06:13] <genii> BluesKaj: Not sure but they have had repos there since 5.10 at least that i know of
[06:13] <stamen> could anybody help
[06:13] <pag> kaminix, try /usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/
[06:14] <stamen> on the link which uboto gives I made all what I can, but grun didn't fixed
[06:14] <BluesKaj> genii I changed the .ca repos to yorku in my sources list, and seems to have updated cleanly enuff
[06:14] <genii> BluesKaj:  :)
[06:14] <pompellid> if this is the kind of user support available, may be time to look for another distro
[06:15] <genii> Well, lunchtime here, AFK while i grab food etc
[06:15] <sha384sum> Does anyone know if there is a problem with OOo 2.2 in feisty that causes OOo to crash when opening a spreadsheet?
[06:15] <stamen> it sasy this :
[06:15] <stamen> root@ubuntu:/home# grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda
[06:15] <stamen> mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/root/boot': No such file or directory
[06:16] <kaminix> pag: Thanks, found it. :)
[06:16] <stamen> http://pastebin.com/m552049e7
[06:16] <stamen> please help, its urgent
[06:16] <BluesKaj> stamen, don't make root directories in grub
[06:17] <stamen> BluesKaj: ok, but tell me how to fix it then, please
[06:17] <stamen> BluesKaj: It is realy urgent
[06:17] <BluesKaj> stamen, alt+f2 kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:18] <stamen> BluesKaj: I am now on live CD
[06:18] <stamen> BluesKaj: will it work
[06:18] <BluesKaj> trying to open kubuntu or windows?
[06:19] <stamen> BluesKaj: kubuntu ofcourse
[06:19] <ubuntu__> czesc
[06:19] <stamen> BluesKaj: and tryiong to reinstall grub
[06:19] <stamen> BluesKaj: trying*
[06:19] <BluesKaj> !grub
[06:19] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:20] <stamen> BluesKaj: as I said, this links can;t help me
[06:20] <BluesKaj> grub should have auto installed when you installed kubuntu, stamen
[06:20] <pag> stamen, do you know on which partition you have your / -folder?
[06:21] <stamen> pag: yes, its /dev/sda5
[06:22] <pag> stamen, ok.. do you have it mounted atm?
[06:22] <stamen> yes, I mount it on /media/root
[06:22] <stamen> and did chroot to it
[06:22] <pag> exit the chroot
[06:22] <pag> you don't need to iirc
[06:23] <stamen> pag: how
[06:23] <pag> just open new terminal and command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda
[06:24] <dazjorz> hmm
[06:24] <pag> (chroot can be exited by typing 'exit')
[06:24] <dazjorz> I wonder if no file in /boot/grub/* would contain '/media/root' then
[06:25] <dazjorz> I remember I wasn't sure about that when I had to grub-install
[06:25] <stamen> pag: I think you helped me
[06:25] <stamen> but why in this manuals on the links is diferent
[06:25] <stamen> pag: the way they write
[06:25] <pag> stamen, do they tell you to chroot? :O
[06:26] <stamen> pag: uuups, no :)
[06:26] <pag> stamen, oh.. that manual takes a different approach - tbh I'm not sure which is easiest-
[06:26] <stamen> sorry
[06:27] <genii> chroot works better for me on grub-install
[06:27] <pag> stamen, you should be fine now. try booting and come to tell if it worked ok :)
[06:27] <arash> hello, can I set how my Kubuntu to do alt+arrowkey when i press the left on mouse?
[06:27] <stamen> pag: yes, but they are not telling to chroot, I have the old sintaxis in my mind, the older versions, were in the old way, and I had to chroot
[06:27] <stamen> pag: thats why I made the mistake
[06:27] <bense> i just installed kubuntu and i don't know the root password :(
[06:28] <pag> !root | bense
[06:28] <ubotu> bense: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:28] <arash> bense - its the same your account password? perhaps?
[06:28] <stamen> pag: ok, I wiil reboot to see what happend
[06:28] <stamen> pag: thank you very much for now
[06:28] <bense> whoami = bense
[06:29] <pag> !mouse | arash, that might help - not sure; never tried
[06:29] <ubotu> arash, that might help - not sure; never tried: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[06:29] <genii> stamen If you mistakenly do a grub-install to a subpartition that was your / by mistake, it will show to fdisk as an "Acorn" partition.
[06:29] <arash> thanks
[06:29] <bense> okay but i tried to login as root
[06:29] <bense> not to su as root
[06:29] <bense> hm
[06:30] <bense> i guess i can boot from the livecd
[06:30] <bense> mount my partitions
[06:30] <bense> chroot
[06:30] <bense> then passwd root?
[06:31] <genii> hmm he left
[06:31] <pag> bense, why do you need to enable a root account?
[06:32] <bense> cause i'm old school
[06:32] <bense> well then what account do i use to edit 600 files?
[06:33] <pag> bense, sudo -i  ? :)
[06:33] <pompellid> is there anyone here that can help me with a problem trying to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04?
[06:33] <DaSkreech> tackat: Helllo :-)
[06:33] <pag> pompellid, be more specific please.
[06:33] <bense> wtf
[06:33] <bense> what is sudo -i?
[06:33] <BluesKaj> genii, did that Shawnrisk guy try to solicit you for a donation  to some bike trip thing to the tar sands ...what was he thinking ?...what nerve :)
[06:33] <bense> LOL
[06:33] <bense> i'm retarded
[06:33] <pag> bense, it'll open a 'root-session'
[06:33] <genii> BluesKaj: ! moment
[06:33] <tackat> DaSkreech: hi
[06:34] <bense> all right that works
[06:34] <bense> hm
[06:34] <tackat> DaSkreech: when was the last time you tried Marble?
[06:34] <DaSkreech> tackat: Moons ago
[06:34] <bense> so who did i manage to get a ubuntu gutsy
[06:34] <BluesKaj> pompellid, describe your prob pls
[06:34] <bense> off of a kubuntu
[06:34] <pag> bense, and if you *really* want root account (on your own risk) then sudo passwd  will probably work
[06:34] <bense> site
[06:35] <tackat> DaSkreech: did you try the automatic tile downloading :) ? http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/marble_20070726_8.png
[06:35] <kaminix> Could someone help me fix a more compact and stylish output for /media?
[06:35] <Daisuke-Ido> blech
[06:35] <Daisuke-Ido> unrar x *.rar refuses to work :\
[06:35] <pag> kaminix, please, no np-scripts here
[06:35] <kaminix> pag: I was just showing the script I want to change.
[06:36] <pag> kaminix, are you using amarok?
[06:36] <kaminix> Yes.
[06:36] <pompellid> pag: running adept manager (as root). once i fetch upgrades, it tells me a new version is available. the upgrade version then loads the distro upgrade, which fails to fetch "http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/dists/edgy/main/binary-amd64/Packagez.gz and .../main/source/Sources.gz (404 Not Found)
[06:36] <jhutchins> Daisuke-Ido: try unrar e <tabcomplete>
[06:36] <tackat> DaSkreech: And this is how the first GSoC results look like http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/marble_20070726_5.png http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/marble_20070726_6.png
[06:36] <Daisuke-Ido> i don't want them extracted to the current directory
[06:36] <kaminix> pag: It's using the built in /media script for Konversation though
[06:36] <llutz> Daisuke-Ido: for r in *.rar; do unrar x "$r";done
[06:37] <Daisuke-Ido> and using tabcomplete for 300 archives is going to take a while :F
[06:37] <jhutchins> Daisuke-Ido: Well, I think you can change directory first, then issue the command.
[06:37] <zabadapp> bense: I usually do "sudo bash" to get a sort of root-shell for extensive work ... probably not the preferred way :)
[06:37] <pag> kaminix, just alias this to something: echo -n "np: "; dcop amarok player nowPlaying   and really; try to keep those off theis channel
[06:38] <Daisuke-Ido> llutz: you are awesome
[06:38] <pag> pompellid, disable that source?
[06:38] <Daisuke-Ido> weird seeing zab here -_-
[06:39] <pag> kaminix, oh sorry; to get that working in Konversation you'll need to prefix it with  /exec cmd
[06:39] <kaminix> Thanks. :) Can I format it with colors and stuff?
[06:39] <Daisuke-Ido> i found a nice np shell script that niceloy formats all of the info from amarok
[06:40] <arash> !buttons
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about buttons - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <pompellid> pag: disabled it and still got the same error. is there a manual way to edit the repository list?
[06:40] <jhutchins> Daisuke-Ido: Interesting, what script, and what info does it format?
[06:40] <pag> kaminix, I don't know... I guess it'll need a more complicated script
[06:40] <genii> arash Trying to enable extra mouse buttons?
[06:40] <pag> pompellid, kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:40] <kaminix> Aw well, thanks anyway. :)
[06:41] <arash> genii - it is impossible to understand anything from that guide ;(
[06:41] <Daisuke-Ido> let me look really quick
[06:41] <bense> all right, and what's the program to use with an ipod
[06:41] <bense> that itunes like program?
[06:41] <Daisuke-Ido> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=60375
[06:42] <jhutchins> bense: amarok?
[06:42] <WhtWolfTeraDyne> bense: Amarok?
[06:42] <Daisuke-Ido> jhutchins: ^
[06:42] <bense> all right
[06:42] <WhtWolfTeraDyne> 1 second...
[06:43] <jhutchins> Daisuke-Ido: Yeah, I was re-reading the context.
[06:43] <Daisuke-Ido> i've tweaked it to my own needs, works really well (i actually replaced the /media alias with that script)
[06:44] <pompellid> pag: two to disable (source one as well, which I didn't see). Seems to be working now. Thank you for your help
[06:44] <genii> arash What is the exact model of your mouse?
[06:44] <pag> pompellid, np :)
[06:44] <bense> all right and i'm not sure if this is a taboo subject
[06:44] <bense> but how do i install the drivers for the xvids
[06:45] <bense> isn't there some extra step
[06:45] <pag> !xvid | bense
[06:45] <ubotu> bense: 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
[06:45] <bense> or some unusual repositories i have to add?
[06:46] <pag> bense, xvid support is either in libxine-extracodecs (or whatever they're called nowdays) or in w32codecs
[06:46] <arash_> What is standard text editor in Kubuntu?
[06:46] <pag> arash_, kate
[06:46] <fedora-ds> hi all
[06:46] <ares> quick question i have ubuntu on a different hard drive, but on the first i have Windows Xp , and i set it up so it directly boots Windows XP.what happens if i formate the HD with Kubuntu on it now?
[06:46] <bense> i take it that amarok reads the ipod database and allows it to maintain function in windows + itunes?
[06:46] <arash_> what do I do wrong when typind "sudo Kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf "?
[06:46] <ares> will Xp stil boot?
[06:47] <pag> arash_, kdesu kate ....
[06:47] <zabadapp> bense: vlc or mplayer need no codecs except lates wmv I think
[06:47] <fedora-ds> does anyone here have expirience with ldap + samba + qmail
[06:47] <genii> arash kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:47] <ares> arash_: try sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[06:47] <bense> hm
[06:47] <redshadowhero> !ipod | bense
[06:47] <ubotu> bense: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[06:48] <redshadowhero> that may have the info you need...
[06:48] <ares> no one an idea?
[06:48] <MaTiAz> What's the difference between sudo and kdesu anyway?
[06:48] <genii> arash_: lowercase k on kate and uppercase X on X11
[06:48] <pag> !kdesu | MaTiAz
[06:48] <ubotu> MaTiAz: In KDE, use  kdesu  to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Do *not* use  sudo <GUI application> ; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo
[06:48] <MaTiAz> pag: Ah ok, thanks
[06:49] <ares> quick question i have ubuntu on a different hard drive, but on the first i have Windows Xp , and i set it up so it directly boots Windows XP.what happens if i formate the HD with Kubuntu on it now?
[06:49] <MaTiAz> I've been using sudo though, gotta remember not to do it anymore :D
[06:49] <fedora-ds> does anyone here have expirience with ldap + samba + qmail ???
[06:49] <arash_> genii - ok, I know for next time
[06:49] <bense> brb
[06:49] <pag> ares, if it uses Windows Bootloader, then formatting should be fine
[06:49] <ares> pag: its grub
[06:50] <pag> ares, then do not format.
[06:50] <ares> so what can i do
[06:50] <pag> ares, you have to replace grub, before you can remove partition with it's config files
[06:50] <bense_> hi bense
[06:50] <ares> pag: how do i do that
[06:51] <pag> ares, (disclaimer: never did that myself) Boot form XP-install cd, enter the recovery console and type fixmbr
[06:51] <bense_> next thing to do
[06:51] <ares> would that be the easiest way?
[06:51] <pompellid> ares: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/483/xp_repair_fix_master_boot_record_recovery_console
[06:52] <bense> the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is that kubuntu centers around kde right?
[06:52] <AV1611> greeting at all!
[06:52] <pag> bense, yup.
[06:52] <bense> eh
[06:52] <ares> allright pretty easy
[06:52] <bense> i'll just change my .xinitrc
[06:52] <ares> if not ill just pop the kubuntu cd in
[06:52] <pompellid> ares: will restore the default windows boot record, then you can format 2nd drive afterwards (if grub doesn't show up on reboot)
[06:52] <AV1611> have got a rather stupid problem. stupid in that sense i hae never seen such a thing.
[06:52] <bense> i screwed up and installed ubuntu instead lol
[06:52] <fedora-ds> does anyone here have expirience with ldap + samba + qmail ???
[06:53] <ares> thank you pompellid sorry i didnt answer your qry, but im not registered and had no chance
[06:53] <pompellid> ares: np :)
[06:53] <bense> ! ipod | bense
[06:54] <arash_> should i reboot after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[06:54] <pag> arash_, just restart your X
[06:54] <AV1611> a regular KDE session at Kubuntu704. As I try to go out into black console with Ctrl+Alt+F1, it gives me my console, BUT without any possibility to continiue on with any console commands (including even dummy Ctrl+Alt+Del)...Did ever anybody experience that?
[06:54] <arash_> pag what?
[06:55] <pag> arash_, ctrl+alt+backspace OR enter any of tty's and type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[06:55] <arash_> ok
[06:55] <arash_> i try
[06:55] <AV1611> what it can be caused?
[06:56] <arash_> it worked :D!
[06:57] <jhutchins> AV1611: Did you log in?
[06:57] <jhutchins> AV1611: Ctrl-F7 should put you back in the gui.
[06:57] <AV1611> at GUI - yes, I did
[06:58] <jhutchins> AV1611: Ctrl-alt-delete might be disabled in your inittab.
[06:58] <AV1611> neither CTRL+ALT+Fx, neither ANY of the lbd commands could help me out....
[06:58] <AV1611> kbd
[06:58] <ed_> BluesKaj:  A belated "thank you" for your help the other day fixing my screen resolution problem.  You got me pointed in the right direction, and all is well now.
[06:58] <jhutchins> AV1611: Hm.  Sounds like a keyboard problem in console.
[06:58] <vonderer> hi there
[06:59] <jhutchins> AV1611: You can type commands, but the window control commands don't work?
[06:59] <jhutchins> AV1611: Try the other Ctrl key (& other alt).
[07:02] <vonderer> need some help about MPD on my kubuntu feisty
[07:03] <bense> anyone know how to setup a device so that a non root user can read/write to it?
[07:03] <pag> vonderer, try asking more specific question(s)
[07:03] <llutz> bense: vfat/ntfs/ext/reiser?
[07:03] <bense> vfat
[07:03] <llutz> bense: mount with option umask=000
[07:04] <bense> llutz: so like mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod -t vfat -o umask=000
[07:04] <llutz> bense: yep
[07:05] <bense> k
[07:05] <bense> i'll try that, thanks llutz
[07:05] <vonderer> ok, I'm trying to use MPD here, on my kubuntu 7.04, and have this problem: every time I try to play the same song after stopping it or to continue after pausing it for some time, it halts.
[07:05] <vonderer> is there any way ti fix it?
[07:05] <vonderer> *to
[07:09] <DaSkreech> tackat: didn't aseigo mention you in a blog this week?
[07:10] <AV1611> the thing is i have never exdperience such thing at any of linux or bsd
[07:10] <tackat> DaSkreech: no idea, but he certainly loves me
[07:10] <AV1611> it doesn't want to responce back to any kbd combo, left/right ctrl, or even ctrl-alt-del, as i said
[07:11] <AV1611> only hard reset gets it out
[07:11] <DaSkreech> tackat: what have you done for him lately? :)
[07:11] <AV1611> here is an USB-KBD, that's correct, but still
[07:12] <vonderer> so, there is no way to solve my problems with mpd?
[07:12] <AV1611> at a forum I was advised to recompile video-adapter's drivers (matrox_g450). Does that make any sense? What you think?
[07:13] <AV1611> BTW, is there some sources for matrox_video? I found the BIN's only yet.....
[07:13] <AV1611> (never had any of the least problem with it at any of nix)
[07:13] <AV1611> matrox g450/550 are just excellent in that realm
[07:17] <tzanger> with Kubuntu, do I want the xserver-xorg-video-ati or xorg-driver-fglrx package for this ATI card?
[07:20] <bense> amarok doesn't support mp3s?
[07:20] <mumificpjetao> it does
[07:21] <pag> bense, you'll have to install codecs
[07:21] <mumificpjetao> !mp3

[07:21] <bense> man
[07:21] <bense> that's a pain
[07:21] <bense> and what's the name of that program that installs packages
[07:21] <bense> the X program
[07:21] <bense> not the gnome one
[07:22] <DaSkreech> adept
[07:22] <DaSkreech> alt+spcae -> adept -> Enter
[07:22] <mumificpjetao> bense: sudo apt-get install packagename
[07:23] <bense> adept isn't found :|
[07:23] <mumificpjetao> ?
[07:23] <mumificpjetao> bense what distribution are you on?
[07:23] <pag> bense, synaptic
[07:24] <DaSkreech> bense: how did you open it?
[07:24] <bense> there
[07:24] <pag> bense, if you're on gnome I mean...
[07:24] <bense> that works
[07:24] <bense> i just have a terminal open
[07:24] <bense> and i'm firing stuff out of there
[07:24] <DaSkreech> bense: No desktop?
[07:25] <mumificpjetao> :S?
[07:25] <DaSkreech> Why do You want a X package manager then?
[07:25] <bense> i went to the kubuntu site, and i got "gusty"
[07:25] <bense> and it's saying ubuntu not kubuntu
[07:25] <DaSkreech> for your name?
[07:25] <bense> synaptic was the app i was looking for
[07:26] <dale> Cool! you can trace phones: http://planetcreation.co.uk/sat-gps/
[07:26] <DaSkreech> bense: You said not the gnome one
[07:27] <zabadapp> bense: gutsy is still in beta (e.t.a. october) ... feisty (7.04) is the current release
[07:28] <DaSkreech> It's in alpha actually
[07:28] <bense> so
[07:28] <zabadapp> ..even so :)
[07:28] <bense> i plan on removing gnome
[07:28] <bense> and manually loading up openbox
[07:28] <bense> i used to use gentoo for about 4 years
[07:28] <bense> but i got sick of all the compilation, i like ubuntus packaging system
[07:29] <bense> kde > gnome IMO
[07:29] <DaSkreech> Whoot!
[07:29] <bense> but if i accidently installed ubuntu instead of kubuntu then i don't really care
[07:29] <bense> cause i can jst add "startkde" to my .xinitrc
[07:31] <sunnypies> I installed flash through add/remove programs but when I goto disney.com it still says I need to install flash.  anyone know?
[07:31] <DaSkreech> Konqueror?
[07:32] <djwright265> I have just downloaded a dvd rip.  I want to burn it.  I have a cue file and a bin file.  I've clicked on the bin file, it does nothing, and I've clicked on the cue file, and k3b opens it saying 'could not open document'.  is there something I can do to burn this?
[07:34] <djwright265> Really, I would just like to watch the movie once.  I would do anything I needed to whether there was a way I can watch it on my laptop, or whether I have to burn it to a cd or dvd.
[07:35] <djwright265> Does anyone know how to do that?
[07:35] <jussi01> djwright265: im not sure, someone will though, just wait. :)
[07:35] <jussi01> hi jono
[07:35] <djwright265> :)
[07:36] <jono> hey jussi01
[07:36] <linux_user400354> is it possible to see who the recipient is of a file encrypted with gpg but not have the secret key?
[07:36] <sunnypies> I installed flash through add/remove programs but when I goto disney.com it still says I need to install flash.  anyone know?
[07:36] <jussi01> sunnypies: are you using konqueror?
[07:36] <sunnypies> jussi01: firefox
[07:36] <jussi01> sunnypies: what did you install?
[07:37] <sunnypies> jussi01: the flash plugin for firefox
[07:37] <jussi01> sunnypies: try going to terminal and doing: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:38] <sunnypies> jussi01: however konquorer nor firefox work with flash yet
[07:38] <jussi01> that will make sure you have the right thing
[07:38] <sunnypies> jussi01: ok
[07:38] <dxdt> lol what
[07:38] <dxdt> sure they do
[07:38] <jussi01> dxdt: his ones
[07:38] <dxdt> oh
[07:38] <dxdt> sorry
[07:38] <bense> i feel silly, i selected all my items in synaptic, but i can't figure out how to initiate the install?
[07:38] <jussi01> :)
[07:38] <jussi01> click apply?
[07:39] <bense> it's greyed out
[07:39] <jussi01> hmm, synaptic? on kubuntu?
[07:39] <sunnypies> jussi01: it said "flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version" and I've rebooted just in case...
[07:39] <boris_> how can i instal drivers for mp3 format
[07:39] <bense> it's on ubuntu lol
[07:39] <boris_> pliy
[07:39] <boris_> pliz
[07:40] <dxdt> The easiest way I've found of getting flash to work in both Konqueror and Firefox was to use the latest LInux version from Adobe, version 9 something.  Download the zip file that contains both the libflash*.so plugin and the .xpt file.  Move them both to a directory like /usr/share/firefox/plugins or some directory like that that konqueror will scan for plugins and then go from there.  So...
[07:40] <dxdt> ...far that has worked for me everytime
[07:40] <jussi01> sunnypies: ok. are you sure its flash? its not a java plugin needed?
[07:40] <jussi01> bense:
[07:41] <jussi01> #ubuntu
[07:41] <dxdt> you can find the name of the directory you should move them to by looking in the Konqueror's preferences under plugins and looking at the list it scans and stuffs.
