[00:41] <maG> moin
[00:43] <ubuntu> boa noite a todos...
[00:43] <ubuntu> alguem pode me ajudar com o kopete?
[00:44] <maG> are there channels for every country (need a german one), or only international?
[00:44] <mwilliams> I have an error with Adept. I get this message
[00:44] <mwilliams> Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).
[00:44] <mwilliams> Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself.
[00:45] <linuxguymarshall> I know the command to fix it is something like "sudo dkpg configure --a" but im not sure
[00:46] <maG> but there is not other apt-get window, installre or something like that? ^^
[00:47] <maG> but "dpkg --configure -a" shoud be right
[00:47] <linuxguymarshall> ok
[00:47] <linuxguymarshall> i ran "sudo ksysguard" and killed all adept managers and no help
[00:48] <maG> maybe "sudo dpkg --configure dpkg" could help
[00:50] <linuxguymarshall> sudo dpkg --configure -a  worked
[00:52] <fracny> post a link on how to install ati drivers on kubuntu please
[00:52] <[maG]> I only knew german ones :D
[00:52] <rootlinuxusr> #compiz-fusion ?
[00:52] <rootlinuxusr> xD
[00:52] <fracny> thanks
[00:52] <rootlinuxusr> umm, just look up what specific model number it is
[00:53] <rootlinuxusr> then there hopefully should be a *nix driver for it.
[00:53] <fracny> r300
[00:53] <fracny> on kubuntu 8.04rc
[00:54] <rootlinuxusr> kay, look that up on the ati website, then you'll do something like ./lawlatipackagename buildpkg somethingsomething
[00:54] <rootlinuxusr> they'd be able to fill in the blanks
[00:54] <rootlinuxusr> it's worth it, they got my x1270 to work =]
[00:55] <fracny> so i look it up at ati dot com
[00:55] <fracny> ok
[00:56] <rootlinuxusr> yes
[00:56] <Fusaaki> hey guys, trying to install Kunbuntu (newest 64bit version) and having some problems... could anyone help?
[00:56] <rootlinuxusr> 8.04rc or 7.10?
[00:56] <rootlinuxusr> define latest.
[00:56] <Fusaaki> 7.10
[00:57] <rootlinuxusr> what is your problem?
[00:57] <Fusaaki> it gets stuck at 50% on the scanning disk step
[00:57] <rootlinuxusr> 7.10 installed fine on my amd64..
[00:57] <rootlinuxusr> weird.
[00:57] <Fusaaki> I have one hdd on sata and one on ide
[00:57] <Fusaaki> both work in windows
[00:57] <fracny> burn the disk ati 8x or slower
[00:58] <fracny> burnthe setup disk at 8x or slower
[00:58] <Fusaaki> alright
[00:58] <Fusaaki> im also getting the error when I set it to nosplash so I can see
[00:58] <Fusaaki> the error is End _request : I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[00:59] <fracny> fd0 is your cd room
[01:00] <fracny> try reburning the disk at a slower speed
[01:00] <rootlinuxusr> Sounds like it's something wrong on the disc, it can't read a certain part, or mebbe the CD drive isn't fully plugged in?
[01:00] <rootlinuxusr> though i doubt the latter.
[01:00] <rootlinuxusr> or request one?
[01:00] <rootlinuxusr> or you could do the option to check disc for errors at bootup
[01:01] <Fusaaki> ill try that
[01:10] <DarkestHour> there i go.
[01:11] <fracny> hey rootlinuxusr where can i get help for hardy/fglrx
[01:12] <rootlinuxusr> compiz-fusion
[01:12] <fracny> ok
[01:12] <fracny> thanks
[01:12] <rootlinuxusr> trying to get that installed so you can have the rotating cube?
[01:13] <xenthral_> I'll only use that when they have rotating hypnotoad
[01:14] <DarkestHour> xenthral_: that would be bad ass.
[01:14] <DarkestHour> All Hail Hypnotoad!
[01:14] <xenthral_> its about time we get it
[01:14] <xenthral_> spam the developers!
[01:15] <DarkestHour> lol, not to go way off topic here but, you see the hypnotoad episode on the Benders Big Score DVD?
[01:16] <xenthral_> no!
[01:16] <xenthral_> I know of it, but never seen it
[01:17] <DarkestHour> lol, me and a bunch of my friends sat through the entire episode. It was awesome, lol. 23-ish minutes long.
[01:18] <xenthral_> is it just hypnotoad, being hypnotoad?
[01:18] <DarkestHour> pretty much, they through in fake commercials and wierd moments and such.
[01:19] <xenthral_> gotta watch that some time
[01:20] <xenthral_> sounds like something to watch while wasted
[01:21] <DarkestHour> definately.
[01:21] <GrueTamer> DarkestHour: nice name
[01:22] <DarkestHour> GrueTamer: Thanks, been using it for a long time.
[01:22] <GrueTamer> i sense 80s vibes :>
[01:22] <anabelle> hi
[01:22] <anabelle> i just installed kubuntu 8.04 RC1
[01:22] <DarkestHour> actually started using back when i played Tribes 2.
[01:22] <anabelle> IM LOVING IT!
[01:23] <anabelle> but i have one question?
[01:23] <xenthral_> thats fortunate
[01:23] <xenthral_> you're only allowed one
[01:23] <DarkestHour> lol, whats your Question anabelle?
[01:23] <anabelle> will i get continuous updates from now on? or will i have to reinstall once the final release is out?
[01:24] <DarkestHour> you will get the updates from now on
[01:24] <anabelle> so im oficially in hardy now :)
[01:24] <anabelle> thank you!
[01:24] <DarkestHour> At most there will be only minor changes between the RC now and the final release.
[01:24] <DarkestHour> and you'll get those through adept_manager
[01:25] <DarkestHour> No problem.
[01:25] <xenthral_> man I hope the 7.10 -> 8.04 transition is less rocky then the 7.04 -> 7.10 one
[01:25] <xenthral_> cause I don't feel like reinstalling the whole system again
[01:26] <DarkestHour> lol, i messed with my 7.10 install so much that i had some wierd problems. i just said screw it and did a complete reinstall with the 8.04 rc
[01:26] <xenthral_> everything is Just Working right now
[01:26] <xenthral_> don't want to have to reconfigure stuff
[01:27] <DarkestHour> hopefully you should be fine. especially since there is no major kde version change for you to have to deal with.
[01:27] <DarkestHour> i switched to kde4 during 7.10 so i decided to just start off with the kubuntu remix this time.
[01:31] <DarkestHour> hmm, anyone know the command for the restricted driver manager?
[01:33] <rootlinuxusr> Got a question is there anyway to set it so my wifitester brings up all available wireless networks in the area? i don't it's part of the keyset...
[01:33] <xboxkiller88> airsnort
[01:35] <rootlinuxusr> airsnort?
[01:44] <DrUnKnMuNkY> hey everyone i'm having some trouble with GRUB. i'm able to boot using the 2.6.24-12-server kernel but when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-16-server kernel I get an error 24 (Attempt to access block outside partition) and when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-15-server kernel I get an error 16 (Inconsistent file structure). e2fs says disk is clean. Any ideas what's wrong?
[01:52] <carlomagno> Hi
[01:54] <dorkface> Hi all.  I'm having a problem with kubuntu crashing where if the laptop lid is closed for a while, and when it opens to a screen saver password prompt, it freezes hard.  I've tried looking in /var/log/messages, but I couldn't find anything referencing anything happening before the crash.  Are there any other logs that I could check?
[01:54] <carlomagno> After upgrading to 7.10 I can't load gdm anymore (it won't recognise SVG files). I tried reinstalling the relevant libraries but to no avail, so I figured I'd try out kdm. Can anybody tell me how to set kdm as my default window manager from the command line? (I'm in recovery mode.) Is tehre some setting in /etc/X11/?
[01:56] <xoqa> supposedly there's a restore feature for konqueror's tabs after it crashes.. for kde 3, it's in kdeaddons and for kde 4, it's in extra gear... but i'm not seeing them... anyone know what to search for
[01:57] <xoqa> carlomagno: i think you can set it as the default in your xorg.conf file
[01:57] <carlomagno> xoqa, thanks. Somebody on #ubuntu suggested sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm.
[01:57] <xoqa> hmm.. not seeing it there
[01:58] <xoqa> carlomagno: ah, nice
[01:58] <carlomagno> I'll try that. Cheers.
[01:59] <martin_> hallo dorkface, I noticed that the stand by modus doesnt works. so after going into the stand by modus, the computer doesn't wake up any more. Probably you have set you powermanager so, that he pushes the laptop into stand by (suspend) when you close the laptop lid... Try to change this
[02:02] <crunchybumble> I'm new to KDE. Where in the GUI can I see whether the automatic install picked up my wireless card?
[02:03] <dorkface> martin_: I don't believe it is in sleep mode, it should just turn to a screen saver
[02:03] <dorkface> but, does it go to sleep after a while?
[02:03] <xoqa> crunchybumble: you should be able to right click on the kde network manager icon
[02:04] <xoqa> it should tell you what connections you have
[02:04] <xoqa> you could just use dmesg though
[02:04] <dorkface> martin_: yeah, I checked power manager, and I have "Do Nothing" on "when Laptop Lid Is Closed"
[02:05] <martin_> dorkface: so its strange
[02:05] <canen_> hello
[02:05] <dorkface> martin_: but I do have "Lock screen on resume" checked
[02:05] <canen_> is there a specific channel for people wanting to try the rc?
[02:05] <crunchybumble> hmm... it appears to have only picked up my ethernet ports
[02:05] <dorkface> canen_: kubuntu+!
[02:05] <dorkface> canen_: kubuntu+1
[02:06] <canen_> dorkface: thanks
[02:06] <martin_> welcome
[02:07] <canen_> empty
[02:07] <DarkestHour> yeah, i expect this channel would be the place canen_
[02:07] <DarkestHour> i use the RC myself right now.
[02:07] <canen_> ok
[02:07] <dorkface> canen_: ubuntu+1
[02:07] <dorkface> has people in it
[02:07] <dorkface> I checked
[02:08] <crunchybumble> so, from googling around, it appears that I need to use the ndiswrapper to get my wireless card (Netgear WG311 v2) working
[02:08] <canen_> yeah, a lot
[02:08] <crunchybumble> I've had no experience using this
[02:08] <crunchybumble> can I just apt-get it, and it'll magically work?
[02:11] <crunchybumble> iwconfig lists lo eth0 and eth1 as no wireless connections, the kubuntu network manager doesn't list lo
[02:12] <bragoo08> crunchybumble: you need to have "universe" enabled in adept manager to "apt-get" ndiswrapper!
[02:19] <bragoo08> cruncybumble: try http://www.mattweber.org/2005/22/using_dwl-g510_in_linux/ i now it's not the same wifi card, but it explains how to use ndiswrapper.
[02:19] <crunchybumble> thanks, I'll do that
[02:19] <bragoo08> no prob
[02:19] <adude> i downloaded the xubuntu desktop how do i run it?
[02:20] <gogo_> hi
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> adude: log out and in the kdm sessions menu chose xfce
[02:21] <DarkestHour> Hi there
[02:21] <adude> thanks
[02:23] <bragoo08> crunchybumble: sorry, that url is old. goto http://www.mattweber.org/category/linux/ and scroll down.
[02:24] <crunchybumble> s'aite, I found it
[02:24] <bragoo08> crunchybumble: cool
[02:39] <dennister> hey channel; anyone have any idea why a pc would simply refuse to boot from either of 2 installed cdroms?  always get a failure, no matter what livecd or alternatecd I insert into either drive
[02:40] <stdin> corrupted RAM maybe
[02:40] <DarkestHour> are you getting an error of any sort? or it just wont boot from the cd?
[02:41] <crunchybumble> silly question, but you did make sure to burn them as images, not as data files, right?
[02:41] <dennister> the only error i get is "Failure"...this is at the bios level....nothing on the hdd yet
[02:41] <DarkestHour> Do you have your bios set to boot from CD drives?
[02:42] <dennister> DarkestHour: yes, set to boot from cd drives,
[02:42] <dennister> crunchybumble: these same cd's have installed OS onto previous machines
[02:43] <DarkestHour> it is possible those drives might have problems readings the disc's. I've had to use a seperate dvd-rom with my desktop pc for some reason. but after the install it worked fine.
[02:43] <bragoo08> dennister: how many cd drives do you have?
[02:43] <crunchybumble> maybe burning media as well
[02:43] <crunchybumble> are they older drives?
[02:43] <dennister> stdin: ram gets counted properly, can't do memtest unless it will boot from livecd
[02:44] <dennister> DarkestHour: i've already changed one drive for another that I know works well
[02:44] <bragoo08> dennister: it maybe only reading the master drive
[02:44] <stdin> dennister: can't you remove the ram and put in some from another box, just to see if it is the ram?
[02:44] <xoqa> oi.. so... not seeing the 'svn' command in konsole...
[02:44] <dennister> bragoo08: i have 2, one is plain cdrom; other is dvdrom
[02:45] <xoqa> just wondering what package it's in
[02:45] <stdin> xoqa: svn"
[02:45] <stdin> or subversion
[02:45] <stdin> adept/apt-cache would know
[02:45] <dennister> stdin: yes, I can do that, as I do have toehr boxes here in earlier state of refurbishing,...i had just *never* seen this before...total refusal to boot from either of two optical drives
[02:46] <stdin> also if you types "svn" and have command-not-found installed it would say
[02:46] <bragoo08> dennister: do you get "failure" twice or just once?
[02:46] <DarkestHour> dennister: you may want to try and do a bios update on the mother for that machine.
[02:46] <stdin> dennister: does it even boot from hdd?
[02:46] <DarkestHour> dennister: err, motherboard
[02:46] <xoqa> stdin: ah, i just ran a wrong command :| sorries
[02:46] <dennister> bragoo08: i only get it once...make sure i put cd into master drive, and made sure I knew which one that was :)
[02:47] <dennister> DarkestHour: yes, i was thinking of flashing bios :(
[02:47] <bragoo08> dennister: i'm guessing this is a p2 or p3 machine!
[02:48] <dennister> stdin: can't boot from hdd...hdd is still blank...
[02:48] <dennister> yes, this is a soyo mobo with P3 cpu
[02:48] <stdin> dennister: test with another hdd ;)
[02:48] <DarkestHour> dennister: have you tried unplugging the hdd and seeing if it would then boot from the cd?
[02:49] <dennister> ok, haven't tried unplugging the hdd yet...was hoping to avoid flashing bios, so that's worth a shot
[02:49] <xoqa> someone mind telling me what i'm doing wrong? http://dpaste.com/45881/ i was geting the 301 moved error with kdesvn as well
[02:49] <bragoo08> dennister: if your dvd is master then try swapping master to the cd drive!
[02:49] <DarkestHour> yeah, atleast try to elimate some points of potential failure.
[02:50] <dennister> and yes, I have another smaller hdd for testing...sometimes when you get a wierd error it's good to simply ask if someone else has seen this before
[02:50] <xoqa> svn list gives an 301 moved error as well
[02:50] <dennister> this is a new one on me, lol
[02:51] <dennister> bragoo08: both optical are on secondary ide, with cd as master, dvd as slave; on primary ide the 80g hdd is master, zip drive is slave
[02:51] <DarkestHour> what did you set the boot order to in bios?
[02:52] <stdin> I find it sometimes helps to just take it apart and put it back together again
[02:52] <bragoo08> dennister: unplug one drive at a time and try each one solo!
[02:52] <dennister> DarkestHour: cdrom, A, C
[02:52] <DarkestHour> ok
[02:52] <DarkestHour> yeah, start unplugging things, lol
[02:52] <foibles> is cafelinux down for some reason?
[02:52] <foibles> does anyone know?
[02:52] <stdin> error: A is not know, C is not known  ;)
[02:53] <devin_> how do i make compiz default in kubuntu"?
[02:53] <stdin> !compiz | devin_
[02:53] <dennister> kinda strange, too, though...other boot sequence options include D...A...SCSI, E...A, SCSI...F...A...SCSI
[02:53] <ubotu> devin_: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[02:54] <dennister> don't have any scsi, so...
[02:54] <dennister> stdin: ??? i don't understand..."not known"?
[02:55] <stdin> dennister: "Drive Letters" are a windows term
[02:55] <DarkestHour> lol
[02:55] <dennister> yes, i know, but bios manufacturers still assume ur working with winblows
[02:56] <bragoo08> correction! drive letters are a DOS term
[02:56] <dennister> bragoo08: ur right...touche
[02:56] <stdin> well, dos is dead, so it's windows now
[02:56] <bragoo08> not here it isn't!
[02:56] <stdin> although you can get freedos, retro :)
[02:58] <dennister> spent the last two days stuggling with a tecra8000...no livecd's would load, no linux would install...figured it was the cdrom drive, dirty or something...but it looks like winblows2k has just finished without a hitch :(
[02:59] <bragoo08> dennister: you have got be kidding!!!!!
[02:59] <dennister> nope...which i were
[02:59] <dennister> so it's not the drive...
[02:59] <bragoo08> dennister: it's always the simplest things!
[03:00] <dennister> well, i have nooooooooo idea why w2k will install, but knoppix, dsl, kubuntu alternate...nothing in linux will load/completely-install, live or otherwise
[03:02] <nnck> hi
[03:02] <nnck> hi .. trying to install kubuntu on ps3 but the resolution does not fit on hdtv when I reached location step I couldnt continue clicked alt ctrl f1 and now am at the command line what should I do?
[03:02] <dennister> heck...the parts of kubuntu alternate that did load (framebuffer installation) always said the video memory was too low, but it has 256MB of ram
[03:03] <DarkestHour> dennister: i have a tecra8000 with the same problem.
[03:03] <DarkestHour> lol
[03:03] <bragoo08> dennister: some bios setups have a setting for either "dos system" or "unix".
[03:03] <carlos_> que hablan
[03:03] <carlos_> no entiendo
[03:03] <dennister> DarkestHour: heheheh...have you managed anything with the tecra? some people have done it, u know
[03:03] <carlos_> ...................
[03:04] <stdin> !es | carlos_
[03:04] <ubotu> carlos_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[03:04] <BluesKaj> dennister, , hardware recognition problem maybe. I encountered a similar prob with some linuxes on this pc (compaq presario 1734x), pretty ordinary pc
[03:05] <carlos_> blablabla
[03:05] <dennister> bragoo08: maybe I'll look for that feature from now on...although the stuff i get donated is usually pretty standard
[03:06] <stdin> carlos_: go to #ubuntu-es, speak english or leave. those are your options
[03:06] <BluesKaj> carlos_, blahblahblah en espanol por favor
[03:06] <dennister> the donor of the tecra actually had wxp and ms office on it...but sloooooowwwwwww as molasses
[03:06] <BluesKaj> ext3 partitions dennister ?
[03:07] <DarkestHour> i use the tecra8000 i have for cisco programming, lol.
[03:07] <dennister> BluesKaj: that's what i was trying on the tecra laptop...lol...i've just heard the winblows music...did install from iso cd without a hitch
[03:08] <BluesKaj> well, an OS at least :)
[03:09] <dennister> my, my, my...can't believe how fast/zippy w2k is on this tecra :)
[03:10] <DarkestHour> give it a month, then the windows hardware tax kicks in.
[03:14] <dennister> yes, have to have some kinw of OS...at least it doesn't have spyware like XP...what i was hoping to use this ancient laptop for was a dmonstration laptop, possibly showing how fast linux was on it...possibly a dual boot to compare speed between winblows and linux...can't even get linux installed, let aloone demonstrate speed
[03:14] <steini> Hello. I was wondering if someone was familiar with this bug http://s2.screenshots.cc/upload/a717fe91.jpg         I am using kubuntu 8.04 rc3 with compiz fusion and nvidia 8800 gt graphics card (drivers 169.12 i think :P)  95% of the top of a non selected window gets almost see-through or corrupt like this :(
[03:14] <steini> anyone know what it can be?
[03:15] <dennister> DarkestHour: have you checked the forums for your tecra? there were some who had managed to get ubuntu installed on the tecra
[03:15] <DarkestHour> dennister: i havent, it hasnt been a real priority for me.
[03:16] <dennister> windows tax...you mean how much work it is to maintain it? this is an old copy I had from over 3 years ago...had retired that machine
[03:17] <dennister> if that's what you mean, yes, I do hate all the work of maintaining it
[03:17] <Jimmy1> Hello
[03:17] <Jimmy1> me AGAIN ;)
[03:17] <nosrednaekim> :)
[03:18] <Jimmy1> any1 free to help with ark
[03:18] <DarkestHour> what seems to be the problem Jimmy1?
[03:18] <Jimmy1> i dloaded a *.rar file and it wont let me extract the file
[03:18] <Jimmy1> says extraction operation failed
[03:18] <dennister> but here, i gotta reboot the tecra...will look around some more in bios to see if there's something funny going on, like not allowing anyone to install something on the mbr...bbs
[03:19] <DarkestHour> do you have unrar installed?
[03:19] <dennister> besides, winblows is not taking up the whole screen real estate
[03:19] <Jimmy1> umm i dloaded a rar program
[03:19] <Jimmy1> ill check which one it is
[03:19] <iss_student> join #kbuntu-kde4
[03:20] <steini> iḿ sorry to ask again but has anyone have any information about this bug (compiz fusion)? http://s2.screenshots.cc/upload/a717fe91.jpg
[03:20] <Jimmy1> the program is called "rar"
[03:20] <Stroganoff> Jimmy1: sudo apt-get install unrar
[03:20] <steini> just get unrar (non free worked better for me)
[03:21] <Jimmy1> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:21] <Jimmy1> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:21] <Jimmy1> jim@Linux:~$
[03:21] <Stroganoff> sry my fault
[03:22] <Jimmy1> oh woops
[03:22] <Stroganoff> cant use synaptic/adept and apt-get at the same time
[03:22] <Jimmy1> i had apt thing open its working
[03:22] <Jimmy1> so should i remove that other rar program ?
[03:22] <Stroganoff> depends on if you want to create/modify rar archives
[03:23] <steini> unrar worked really well.. can use it in dolphin (on the right side it will say unrar or something like that)
[03:23] <steini> but the free one did not work for me .. dont know why
[03:23] <Jimmy1> ok ill have another go now
[03:25] <Jimmy1> it seems to open in ARK
[03:25] <Jimmy1> i cant find where unrar was installed
[03:25] <DarkestHour> ark should automatically use unrar
[03:25] <Jimmy1> ok
[03:25] <Jimmy1> i get the same problem
[03:26] <steini> have no idea.. it is a console program so just click the rar file and it should say unrar in dolphin
[03:27] <steini> :P
[03:27] <Jimmy1> wont even work in dolphin
[03:27] <Jimmy1> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[03:29] <DarkestHour> make sure you can run unrar in a console
[03:29] <Jimmy1> how do i do that
[03:30] <DarkestHour> easiest way is, press ALT+F2
[03:30] <DarkestHour> then type in konsole
[03:30] <DarkestHour> and press enter, after that you can a console open, try entering the command unrar and press enter
[03:30] <steini> did you get the non free version or the free one?
[03:31] <Jimmy1> yeh it works there
[03:31] <Jimmy1> i have no idea
[03:31] <Stargazer> Im on Ubuntu 7.10 and im trying to get Flash working in Konqueror
[03:31] <BluesKaj> !Flash
[03:31] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:32] <Jimmy1> konqueror suks use firefoz
[03:32] <Jimmy1> fox
[03:32] <Jimmy1> works better
[03:32] <Stargazer> I have it installed, but konqueror just doesn't seem to work right, youtube videos don't load
[03:32] <Jimmy1> yeh i had the same problem
[03:32] <dennister> egads...this tecra is so fast i don't even have time to get into the bios...lol
[03:32] <Stargazer> Firefox blows, it keeps crashing
[03:33] <Jimmy1> yikes
[03:33] <Jimmy1> one of these guys would know
[03:33] <Jimmy1> im a noob
[03:33] <Jimmy1> :)
[03:33] <Jimmy1> anyway thanks guys for trying to get unrar working ! ill try again latter on
[03:33] <Jimmy1> cya
[03:34] <dennister> anyone have an idea of a distro that I could get loaded/installed onto this tecra?
[03:34] <Stargazer> Unrar ? just open the .rar file with Firefox and when it says "download this file.." use fileroller to open it
[03:35] <steini> Just press the K->System->Adept Manager and search for unrar.. install unrarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
[03:35] <steini> just uninstall all the other rar things ;)
[03:36] <steini> dont confuse the computer
[03:36] <Stargazer> Lol y'all figure that out AFTER the guy leaves, lol
[03:36] <steini> he went
[03:36] <steini> whoops
[03:36] <nosrednaekim> haha
[03:36] <steini> its late over here and i got excited after fixing my problem from earlier (if someone checked that :P) i installed something called emerald
[03:37] <steini> hope that is good enough
[03:37] <steini> atleast its working for now
[03:37] <steini> I just started to use linux and iḿ in love :D Only know it from my xbox and you cant really do that much with it on there
[03:39] <Stargazer> Lol
[03:43] <latitu> iam using partimage (as backhand of g4l) it says cant read image from block 0. iam trying to make an image... and i cant use some other app. they are too difficult and i want to make an image of the full partition (excluding freespace). how can i check the partition? (i have already done fsck)?
[03:43] <narothepharoh> i am using kubuntu 7.10 cant get my screensaver to work any ideas?
[03:45] <linuxguymarshall> I am having 3D problems
[03:45] <nosrednaekim> I prefer 2d problems
[03:45] <nosrednaekim> 3d are just 3 times as hard ;)
[03:46] <BluesKaj> linuxguymarshall, which graphics card ?
[03:46] <linuxguymarshall> BluesKaj:NVIDIA 6200
[03:46] <BluesKaj> !nvidia
[03:46] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:46] <linuxguymarshall> BluesKaj: I just installed my drivers and now FlightGear, TORCS, and Blender will not even begin to boot
[03:47] <BluesKaj> !3D
[03:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:48] <narothepharoh> i am using kubuntu 7.10 cant get my screensaver to work any ideas?
[03:49] <BluesKaj> narothepharoh, system settings/ desktop/ screen saver
[03:51] <narothepharoh> blueskaj: it is not there but it is in settings screensaver preferances and they are all there its just when i pick one the screen will just go blank when its time to come on
[03:51] <BluesKaj> linuxguymarshall, not a nvidia user , but my crappy ati onboard does flightgear. It took some xorg editing and tweaking , so i'm sure some ppl here can help.
[03:53] <carlos_> español
[03:53] <carlos_> buenas tardes
[03:53] <carlos_> como estan todos?

[03:53] <ubotu> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[03:54] <BluesKaj> narothepharoh, are you linking the screensaver to a  personal file with jpegs or one of the kubuntu options in the list ?
[03:54] <latitu> iam using partimage (as backhand of g4l) it says cant read image from block 0. iam trying to make an image... and i cant use some other app. they are too difficult and i want to make an image of the full partition (excluding freespace). how can i check the partition? (i have already done fsck)?
[03:56] <narothepharoh> blueskaj just using the options that are there
[04:02] <chan_> hi
[04:02] <ISS_Student> hello
[04:05] <latitu>  if i dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip > /home/hda1.bin.gz      , it will copy data including freespace too or just files ?
[04:08] <narothepharoh> blueskaj just using the options that are there
[04:09] <greeg> hi. i have a makefile for a one file program  whats wrong with line 3 http://rafb.net/p/uNz5zc39.html  ?
[04:11] <dennister> omg...i think i finally got a live version loaded on the tecra...feather, with acpi=off and fbuffer
[04:12] <dennister> there's hope for the dual-booting demo tecra yet :)
[04:13] <dennister> but i'm falling asleep here...perhaps i will be usccessful with a hdd install using similar methods tomorrow :)...g'night all
[04:14] <BluesKaj> yeah, sacktime for me as well
[04:19] <latitu> how to completely check a partition? ext3
[04:21] <ISS_Student> Finally after much tinkering I got KNetworkManager to show on taskbar in KDE4
[04:50] <devin_> can anyone tell me how to disable this feature. whatever window or tab my mouse hover over its selecting and its beyond annoying to me?
[04:55] <PhilRod> that's the focus policy
[04:55] <PhilRod> it's set in, um, let me see
[04:55] <PhilRod> system settings -> window behaviour -> focus policy
[04:55] <devin_> got it thanks
[04:55]  * PhilRod is considering switching to focus-follows-mouse
[04:56] <PhilRod> you probably want click-to-focus (which is like what windows does)
[04:56] <devin_> well idk i just always bump my mouse and when im typing it messes me up
[04:57] <ragsagar> is kubuntu 8.04 is coming with kde 4??
[04:57] <ragsagar> anyone?? all are sleeping online??
[04:58] <PhilRod> devin_: yeah, I suspect that would happen to me too - the advantage of focus-follows-mouse is that you can focus a window without raising it
[04:58] <PhilRod> but the help on that page says it breaks Alt+Tab, which is too high a price to pay, for me at least
[04:58] <PhilRod> !patience | ragsagar
[04:58] <ubotu> ragsagar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:59] <PhilRod> hrm, that wasn't the one I wanted
[04:59] <devin_> did you try it?
[04:59] <Dr_willis> You can get a Hardy KDE4 or kde3 isntall cd.  You can install both afterwards if you want.
[04:59] <devin_> man it drove me crazy
[04:59] <Dr_willis> focus follows mouse - used to be real common ages ago.
[05:00] <Dr_willis> Old-skool window managers. :)
[05:00] <ragsagar> iam asking abt the cd they ships!
[05:01] <Dr_willis> ragsagar,  You mean the 'shipit' cd's - no idea on those.   I imagine they will be the kde3, or ubuntu. (they do have kubuntu shipit service?)
[05:01] <devin_> im just going to wait till KDE4 is officially out
[05:02] <ragsagar> yeah there is shipit service for kubuntu and edubuntu tooo
[05:03] <devin_> any of you using compiz-fusion on kde?
[05:04] <ragsagar> iam not
[05:04] <Dr_willis> devin_,  ive toyed with it.
[05:04] <ragsagar> iam just using compiz
[05:05] <ragsagar> to use compiz fusion we have to rremove compiz first
[05:05] <devin_> me too but it just ran so much better on ubuntu
[05:06] <Dr_willis> I tend to disable it under gnome, or kde. its jsut more hassle then its worth
[05:06] <ragsagar> it is eating ma resource
[05:07] <ragsagar> as i have only 376mb ram
[05:07] <ragsagar> it is making my system too slow!
[05:08] <devin_> i suppose so after it loses its 'wow' factor but i haven't been on linux for a good while. things are defiantly improving

[05:13] <devin_> more than likely
[05:13]  * PhilRod wonders how or where you enable desktop effects if compiz isn't installed

[05:32] <micha__> does someone know where kubuntu's shutdown config file lives /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc is the normal path but all the changes in here get ignored ...
[05:32] <Dr_willis> You did restart the kdm service?
[05:33] <micha__> Dr_willis: yes but i can change whatever and it will not use the file
[05:33] <Dr_willis> micha__,  interesting.. ive never had that issue.
[05:33] <Dr_willis> what are you changeing exactly?
[05:35] <micha__> Dr_willis: you could also use the system settings login manager and change log in wallpaper and so on but it doesnt use that
[05:35] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. It does for me.. but all my machines are now hardy based. So i cant confirm/deny your issue. sorry.
[05:36] <micha__> Dr_willis: i have the problem that my box does not fully shut down if i use the gui ... sudo shutdown -PH now does work ...
[05:37] <Dr_willis> micha__,  i tend to use the halt, command from a terminal. :) as a 'cheat' you could make a 'shutdown' user, and make their shell be the proper shutdown command.   I did that ages ago. if i loged in as that user from kdm/shell/whever. shstem would shutdown.
[05:37] <Dr_willis> You are saying that in the kdmrc configs the 2 lines....
[05:37] <Dr_willis> HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff
[05:37] <Dr_willis> RebootCmd=/sbin/reboot
[05:37] <Dr_willis> Do not propelry shutdown your machine eh?
[05:39] <micha__> exactly ... so i was hoping to find the config file and change /sbin/shutdown with /sbin/shutdown -Ph now ,,, since that is working in the terminal
[05:39] <Dr_willis> i dont even see 'shutdown' in there.. let me see
[05:39] <Dr_willis> i got poweroff and reboot. :) no shutdown
[05:40] <Dr_willis> I wonder how shutdown and poweroff, differ.
[05:41] <micha__> it's using poweroff ... poweroff doesnt work here shutdown does
[05:41] <devin_> can you run emerald without compiz?
[05:41] <Dr_willis> Interesting.
[05:41] <Dr_willis> devin_,  not really.
[05:42] <Dr_willis> emerald is one of the 3 window decorators that compiz can use.
[05:43] <olll> but kubuntu is not reading that file ... GreetString=Welcome to Kubuntu at %n for example can be chaned but it does not get used on log in
[05:43] <Dr_willis> so micha__  youa re using      HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -PH
[05:43] <olll> olll = micha
[05:44] <Dr_willis> olll,  thers also 2 seperate kdm login screens, the fancy graphical one, and the simpiler one.
[05:44] <olll> sorry Dr_willis
[05:44] <Dr_willis> if using    HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -PH    --- Im wondering if it shouldent be    HaltCmd='/sbin/shutdown -PH'
[05:44] <olll> do you know where the fancy one is
[05:45] <Dr_willis> fancy one is the default for a local X login, the simpiler oneis the default for xdmcp logins i recall
[05:45] <olll> for some reasons the poweroff command does not fully shut down ... shutdown does
[05:51] <yyyyyyyyy> i made a desktop shortcut shutdown -Ph now that works as well but that is not the same f*cking internet here
[05:53] <Dr_willis> sounds like some apci quirk/issue going on , as the the reason the 2 commands differ.
[05:53] <Dr_willis> acpi  I think is  the proper term. :)
[05:54] <micha11> hmm that i don't like about *bunut ... they use strange config files sometimes
[05:54] <Dr_willis> advanced power controll interface.  -  what happens if you hit alt-ctrl-delete from the kdm screen? :) that kicks my pc into shutdown mode.
[05:54] <Dr_willis> heck - i can just hit the power button and it will start shutting down.. the 2 yr old discovered THAT feature for me today
[05:54] <Dr_willis> 'push the big button, and papa yells!'
[05:55] <micha11> Dr_willis: that works ... in fact i have to do so ... if i klick the gui button it will start to shut down and than i have to help with ctrl alt del
[05:56] <Dr_willis> heh. So if you make changes to the kdm settings with the GUI tool (as root/admin of course) the config file does change? or does it not even change?
[05:58] <micha11> Dr_willis: if i change the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file or system settings > login manager it does not change anything ... but the gui login manager writes to the file /etc/kde3/...
[05:59] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. ok.. You are NOT using kdm4 are you? You never installed kde4 did you?
[05:59]  * Dr_willis is just guessing at whats going no now. Im out of ideas
[06:01] <micha11> now Dr_willis i need to use this box kde4 is not for working ... not at the moment ... thanks anyway for your help ... ill keep searching
[06:10] <DarkestHour> what you talking about willis... sorry. had to.
[06:10] <rootlinuxusr> anybody know where the file is that has the quote "#3) With great power comes great responsibility."
[06:12] <DarkestHour> seems like it would be something with sudo
[06:12] <rootlinuxusr> right, but i'm not all positive where the sudo command is located
[06:13] <DarkestHour> it's in /usr/bin/
[06:14] <DarkestHour> ahh thats right, it's the message when you first use sudo, lol. man has it been a while.
[06:14] <micha11> it's config file is in /etc/sudoers
[06:19] <DarkestHour> man i'll tell you, hardy is great. especially with kde4.
[06:24] <daSkreech> Does anyone have any links to the dapper cd
[06:24] <p_quarles> daSkreech, for kubuntu? isn't it on all of the main mirrors?
[06:25] <daSkreech> it's a DVD on the mirrors
[06:25] <daSkreech> no idea when that happened
[06:25] <Dr_willis> i wonder if some of the mirrors may have cleaned out stuff to make space.
[06:26] <Guest87185> hi I was wondering if someone could help me out, I'm a total newbie and my kubuntu crashed during update
[06:26] <Guest87185> now it loads up to just a prompt
[06:26] <daSkreech> Dr_willis: couldn't kill them to keep the torrent up
[06:27] <daSkreech> Guest87185: have you tried to start X ?
[06:27] <Troggy> Is this the right place to diagnose installation troubles with hardy?
[06:27] <Dr_willis> !hardy
[06:27] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[06:27] <eagles0513875> does anyone know where i can find a list of kde pkgs that are needed for kde to run
[06:27] <p_quarles> daSkreech, umm, it's right there -- i'm not sure where you're looking
[06:27] <p_quarles> http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/releases/6.06.2/
[06:28] <daSkreech> p_quarles: whoot thanks
[06:28] <p_quarles> daSkreech, go up one directory (to "releases") to get to the kubuntu-specific directory
[06:29] <Troggy> I have weird random squashfs failures when trying to install hardy from the 8.04RC CDs (amd64)
[06:30] <Dr_willis> Troggy,  i would say start with checking the md5 of the iso image, if its good. burn it at the slowest speed your burner can handle.
[06:30] <Troggy> md5sums check out ok
[06:31] <eagles0513875> what kernel is going to be included in the release is it 2.6.25
[06:31] <Troggy> At some point, the squashfs driver just seems to bail out and delivers gibberish
[06:31] <Troggy> The installation reports a read error and aborts
[06:32] <gnub_daemon> I'm getting squashfs errors when trying to install mythbuntu
[06:32] <Troggy> I've burned the CD 4 times now, checked it, even tried to install plain ubuntu which worked fine...
[06:33] <gnub_daemon> 8.04 as well...and shouldn't it be an official release by now...it is 04/08 already
[06:34] <Troggy> Well. of course it's an RC, that's why I'm trying to work out the cause so I can file a bug
[06:34] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon it will be official on the 24th
[06:35] <gnub_daemon> ah...thanks for the info
[06:35] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon no prob if its reporting a read error there must be somethign wrong with ur burn
[06:37] <gnub_daemon> is that what buffer I/O error means?  It says unable to read fragment cache block/ page 83e1c and unable to execute /bin/sh for rc-default
[06:42] <gnub_daemon> well I've got it checking integrity and have an alternate-iso DLing in the background
[06:43] <gnub_daemon> AHA...errors found in 8 files...
[06:43] <Troggy> Reboot, check again ^^
[06:43] <Troggy> I sometimes get no errors when checking my CD, sometimes I get a whole lot, depending on when squashfs will crash
[06:44] <gnub_daemon> already on it
[06:45] <gnub_daemon> I had problems with the latest iso of gparted also
[06:45] <gnub_daemon> just kept scanning hardware...
[06:48] <DarkestHour> I just finished install kubuntu on my friends machine here, i had set acpi=off on his machine just for the to stop locking up at the hardware abstraction layer.
[06:49] <gnub_daemon> 9 errors this time Troggy
[06:49] <Daisuke_Ido> either the cd has errors or it doesn't
[06:49] <Daisuke_Ido> if it's finding different errors every time, you should probably consider running memtest86
[06:50] <Troggy> I sometimes get 5 errors, then next boot none
[06:50] <Dr_willis> That sounds.. bad
[06:50] <Daisuke_Ido> Troggy, you should probably consider memtest as well, this is not normal operation
[06:50] <Dr_willis> i wonder if it could be dust in the cd/fingerprints?
[06:51] <Daisuke_Ido> Dr_willis, those would have to be some serious fingerprints.
[06:51] <Dr_willis> Daisuke_Ido,  I have a Grandson... :) its amazing what he can get dirty
[06:51] <Dr_willis> 'honey, how did the 2 yr old get handprints on the ceiling?'
[06:52] <Dr_willis> 'dear im more worried about the Footprints on the ceiling!'
[06:52] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:52] <gnub_daemon> Well I installed Kubuntu on the same machine a few hours ago and it went fine...I just couldn't get dvd playback
[06:52] <Daisuke_Ido> spider kid, spider kid, does whatever a spider kid does, can he swing from a web, no he can't, he's a kid...
[06:52] <gnub_daemon> and now I get 6 erroneous files
[06:53] <Dr_willis> gnub_daemon,  so to summarize.. you installed kubuntu, now on each boot up. it gives different errors?
[06:53] <Daisuke_Ido> gnub_daemon, i repeat, memtest86
[06:53] <Daisuke_Ido> Dr_willis, different errors reading the livecd, and the md5 checked out
[06:53] <Daisuke_Ido> is what i was understanding
[06:53] <gnub_daemon> no...I'm trying to install mythbuntu...I just get the same errors that Troggy was getting...It won't let me install
[06:53] <Dr_willis> I had an ide cable that got 'cut' from  the metal in the case once. you could barely see the one cut wire on the outside edge..
[06:54] <Troggy> I'm currently memtesting the machine just for the book (and filing a bug report while doing that)
[06:54] <Daisuke_Ido> Troggy, i would let it run for a while
[06:55] <Daisuke_Ido> if it were fingerprints or a scratch, you would expect the errors to come up at the same place each time
[06:55] <Daisuke_Ido> in this case, they aren't
[06:55] <Daisuke_Ido> that says to me, ide or ram issue
[06:55] <Troggy> I doubt it's the RAM though.
[06:55] <Daisuke_Ido> ram's more likely, so check that first
[06:56] <Daisuke_Ido> napoleon doubted he'd lose, too.
[06:57] <Troggy> I just stressed the machine the other day to check if my cooling worked. An hour of prime95 should reveal RAM defects if there are any
[06:57] <Daisuke_Ido> overclocking?
[06:57] <Troggy> Nope
[06:58] <Daisuke_Ido> something isn't adding up here
[06:58] <Troggy> Just replaced the boxed cooler with something that doesn't sound like a 747 taking off
[06:58] <Daisuke_Ido> ever think that something may have gotten damaged?
[06:58] <Daisuke_Ido> it's entirely possible
[06:59] <Troggy> That's why I tested the sys
[06:59] <Daisuke_Ido> if i remember right, prime95 is a VERY rigorous stress test that could itself create problems
[07:00] <spine55> exit
[07:00] <spine55> exit
[07:00] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm just saying, look at all the possibilities
[07:00] <Daisuke_Ido> and try to launch the livecd on another machine, see if the same thing happens
[07:01] <gnub_daemon> now I didn't think of that
[07:05] <Troggy> Memtest86 does only come as a 32bit app, doesn't it?
[07:06] <devin_> smells like skunk in my room =\
[07:06] <Daisuke_Ido> Troggy, yes
[07:07] <Daisuke_Ido> (here's a solution for >4gb - don't test it all at once!)
[07:07] <Troggy> Ouch that would be a major operation
[07:08] <Daisuke_Ido> how much do you have?
[07:08] <Troggy> 4x 1GB
[07:08] <daSkreech> p_quarles: thanks!
[07:08] <Daisuke_Ido> test 2 at a time
[07:09] <Troggy> But my cooler's overlapping the RAMs so I'd have to take it off each time I change the sticks
[07:10] <Daisuke_Ido> your cooler is dissipating heat onto the ram
[07:10] <Daisuke_Ido> brilliant.
[07:10] <Troggy> Nope
[07:11] <gnub_daemon> not if the fan sucks air OUT of the heatsink
[07:11] <Troggy> It's just the fan and it's not like it's making contact
[07:11] <gnub_daemon> O.o
[07:11] <gnub_daemon> or so I would presume
[07:11]  * Daisuke_Ido headdesks
[07:12] <Daisuke_Ido> and you've been having these problems since changing HSF units?
[07:12] <Troggy> Got a 120mm fan blowing towards the back of the case
[07:12]  * Dr_willis wonders how a fan can suck air in any other direction then out of the heatsinks..  :)
[07:12] <Troggy> Nope, never had any problems until I decided I got bored of openSuSE
[07:13] <Daisuke_Ido> it's the livecd that has errors, right?
[07:13] <Troggy> Yup
[07:13] <Daisuke_Ido> and different errors each time
[07:13] <Daisuke_Ido> sometimes none
[07:13] <Troggy> Well, it's always the squashfs driver
[07:14] <gnub_daemon> same way "the cd can either have errors or not have errors" ;)
[07:14] <Daisuke_Ido> so that's a yes.
[07:14] <Dr_willis> I would wonder what  would happen if you made a usb-installer/live cd on a thumb drive.. or swaped out the cd drive.
[07:14] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm putting 2:1 odds on it being ram, who's with me?
[07:14] <gnub_daemon> but it could blow into the heatsink...mine seems to work better that way
[07:15] <Troggy> Mine blows into the heatsink towards the back of the case (where another fan sucks the air out)
[07:16] <Daisuke_Ido> and that fan is mounted on the side of the heatsink closest to the front of the case - right above the ram
[07:16] <Troggy> Well, right above the first bank
[07:17] <Daisuke_Ido> so don't mess with the first bank
[07:17] <Daisuke_Ido> pull 3 and 4
[07:17] <Daisuke_Ido> test 1 and 2
[07:17] <Daisuke_Ido> leave 1 alone, pull 2, add 3 and 4 (it'll do 3gb)
[07:17] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm still betting it's a ram issue
[07:18] <Troggy> 25 minutes and no problem
[07:18] <Daisuke_Ido> or your processor has (had) a bent pin or two
[07:18] <Daisuke_Ido> don't laugh, i've seen it happen
[07:18] <andrew_> Is there any way to combat accidental touches on a touchpad?
[07:19] <Daisuke_Ido> machine works more or less fine, but there are occasional issues
[07:19] <Daisuke_Ido> found they were more prevalent in I/O
[07:21] <fildo> !sound
[07:21] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[07:21] <Troggy> Kernel and drivers should be the same for ubuntu and kubuntu though, right?
[07:22] <Daisuke_Ido> yes
[07:22] <Daisuke_Ido> the only difference is desktop environment and the included apps
[07:23] <gnub_daemon> andrew...there is a way...I can't recall how...but I think it was a package that I installed...you might check your favorite search engine or the ubuntu forums
[07:23] <Troggy> Because as I said, Ubuntu installed just fine. Only difference was the availability of a DVD for ubuntu which I suppose doesn't need to compress using squashfs
[07:24] <Daisuke_Ido> see if it works well in another pc
[07:25] <Daisuke_Ido> if it doesn't, it's a disc issue
[07:25] <Daisuke_Ido> if it does, you do have a hardware issue
[07:26] <tyler> what is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[07:26] <Troggy> I don't have a spare machine where I can actually install a system but I guess a VM shold suffice for that
[07:27] <tyler> ?
[07:28] <jussio1> !kubuntu
[07:28] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[07:28] <gnub_daemon> which is better...xfs or jfs?
[07:28] <jussio1> !best | gnub_daemon
[07:28] <ubotu> gnub_daemon: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[07:28] <Daisuke_Ido> gnub_daemon, ext3
[07:29] <tyler> where can i access my respitories in kubuntu?  It came installed when I installed Ubuntu?
[07:29] <gnub_daemon> then what's your opinion...user for mythtv
[07:29] <Jucato> tyler: Ubuntu and Kubuntu use the same repositories.
[07:29] <Jucato> !repositories | tyler
[07:29] <ubotu> tyler: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[07:30] <jussio1> tyler: the program adept, inthe system menu
[07:30] <tyler> jussio1: I dont see that anywhere sorry
[07:31] <tyler> this is hardy heron though
[07:31] <jussio1> tyler: go to the kmenu -> system -> adept
[07:31] <devin_> how's hardy running?
[07:31] <tyler> good on my macbook
[07:31] <jussio1> Hardy help in #ubuntu+1 anyway :)
[07:31] <tyler> still some drivers isues to be worked out
[07:32] <linuxguymarshall> Can I make Konquerer start a web page on start-up?
[07:32] <Daisuke_Ido> since konqueror is a web browser, i would imagine that would be possible, yes
[07:32] <jussio1> linuxguymarshall: yes, in the configure konqueror its there...
[07:32] <tyler> jussio1: Thanks I found it
[07:32] <jussio1> tyler: :)
[07:32] <tyler> Do you guys prefer gnome or kde?
[07:32] <Odd-rationale> linuxguymarshall: open the page, then then go to to settings --> save view profiel "web browser"
[07:33] <Daisuke_Ido> tyler, you're asking a biased audience
[07:33] <linuxguymarshall> I mean like when I log in Konquerer will start and open it's homepage
[07:33] <jussio1> tyler: thats really offtopic for here.
[07:33] <Jucato> linuxguymarshall: yes. open the website you want it to start with. make sure it's the only tab open, then go to Settings -> Save View Profile (make sure you're saving the Web Browsing profile)
[07:33] <tyler> ok
[07:33] <Daisuke_Ido> you're going to get a strong slant toward KDE here (hence the channel name)
[07:33] <Odd-rationale> linuxguymarshall: have it open when you log off
[07:33] <jussio1> linuxguymarshall: set the home page of konq, then set konq to start with !autostart
[07:33] <gnub_daemon> i prefer fluxbox...   O.o  o.O
[07:34] <linuxguymarshall> K
[07:34] <Odd-rationale> linuxguymarshall: assuming you have it set to save last session....
[07:34] <gnub_daemon> not really though
[07:36] <Troggy> 45 minutes with no errors, I'll call it for now.
[07:37] <gnub_daemon> things seem to be going smoothly for me with the alternate-install
[07:38] <gnub_daemon> THAT diskcheck turned up no errors at least
[07:38] <tyler> i wanna install compiz fusion but its not showing up the the respitories....ALL OF THEM ARE ENABLED
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> gnub_daemon, that's good news
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> tyler, well, did you update after enabling them?
[07:38] <gnub_daemon> indeed...I can't survive without my mythtv
[07:38] <Daisuke_Ido> and then, i dunno, sudo apt-get install compiz?
[07:39] <ganapati_> how to change boot list order??
[07:39] <Daisuke_Ido> might want to throw compizconfig-settings-manager in there too for advanced configuration
[07:40] <tyler> thanks
[07:43] <gnub_daemon> big red screen saying there were errors installing sofware
[07:43] <Dr_willis> Hmm...
[07:43] <Dr_willis> !info compiz

[07:46] <gnub_daemon> 8S
[07:47] <gnub_daemon> at least I got the base system installed...is there a good walkthrough for installing mythbuntu packages?
[07:50] <gnub_daemon> ok...now I have no desktop environment
[07:51] <Dr_willis> the mythbuntu homepage?
[07:51] <jussio1> !mythbuntu
[07:51] <ubotu> Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information
[07:51] <Dr_willis> I was thinking it was just installing mythbuntu-desktop :) wheni messed with it.
[07:52] <fildo> guys i have a sound issue if anyone is willing to help me
[07:52] <gnub_daemon> just aks
[07:52] <fildo> ive tried to work it out, but now im just stuck

[07:53] <fildo> i have no mixers
[07:53] <fildo> and also no sound
[07:55] <gnub_daemon> have you tried disabling the onboard sound in BIOS and see if that does anything?
[07:55] <fildo> yeah it is
[07:55] <fildo> i reaactived it aswell, but still nothing
[07:56] <gnub_daemon> hmmm
[07:56] <fildo> when i lspci

[07:58] <kubist> hi there! could you help me please with my screen&resolution problem?
[07:58] <gnub_daemon> is this a dual boot bachine?
[07:58] <fildo> no
[07:58] <gnub_daemon> fildo
[07:59] <jussio1> fildo: I assume you covered the basics and checked the sound system is enabled
[07:59] <fildo> standalone kubuntu fiesty install
[07:59] <fildo> yes
[07:59] <gnub_daemon> oh...I was going to suggest you try them in Windows...but that's not feasible
[07:59] <jussio1> !sound | fildo, maybe something here:

[08:00] <kaminix^> Hmm... I think Konqueror's stuck in some offline mode. I unloaded the default network modules and added my own, now Konqueror won't surf the web.
[08:02] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ r u on hardy
[08:02] <kaminix^> I am.
[08:03] <eagles0513875>  kaminix^
[08:03] <eagles0513875> have u tried rebooting the machine
[08:04] <kaminix^> No, but I will need it to load my own drivers instead of the default ones before that. Though I don't know where they're saved... (used insmod on a file this time)
[08:04] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ ok r u connected through a switch which is then connected to the modem
[08:05] <kaminix^> Well, a router, but yes.
[08:05] <gnub_daemon> sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop is working btw
[08:05] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ try this try resetting the router. cuz i have been having some interesting issues connecting to a small switch im wondering if its something on my end or kubuntu end
[08:05] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ turn the power off wait 20 sec then back on
[08:06] <tyler> whats the command to start compiz fusion for the first time
[08:06] <eagles0513875> !compiz-fusion
[08:06] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[08:06] <kaminix^> eagles0513875: Done that all of yesterday, apparently this is a quite known problem with ralink cards in ubuntu through the past three releases. Anyway, it's working now... in firefox apt and well, everything except konqueror and knetworkmanager
[08:07] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ i would file a bug against any pkgs ur having issues with

[08:08] <Ketrel> I installed ksynaptics (to stop accidental taps), but now I can't seem to scroll by sliding along the right edge of my touchpad. Is there any middleground?
[08:08] <kaminix^> There is already a bug report, solved this through the comments. Though I still don't know where make install put the driver and how I make it load instead of the default ones.
[08:08] <gnub_daemon> HUZZAH!   Mythbuntu desktop is loading!
[08:08] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ what u would have to do is black list the default driver
[08:09] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ thing is im not sure where it would be
[08:09] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ only place i am thinking is some where in /dev
[08:09] <kaminix^> eagles0513875: Then how do I make it load my new one instead? I know how to blacklist it, but that's pretty much all.
[08:09] <kaminix^> Isn't /dev just a device registry linking to the actual devices?
[08:10] <eagles0513875> kaminix^ im not sure if bout /dev but in regards to having it load ur driver u might wanna take a look at the init.d scripts for networking
[08:10] <eagles0513875> if anyone knows more to help kaminix^ feel free to but in and speak ur mind
[08:11] <kaminix^> eagles0513875: The readme says 'create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,' but I don't have any such folder. :/

[08:23] <kubist> can anybody help? have some problem with resolution settings, picture of my desktop: http://img246.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot1fg4.jpg - have 1280x800 lcd screen, as you can see 1280x800 background, but the highest resolution to choose in settings is 1024x768 and indeed the windows only use that resolution...
[08:24] <jonathan__> kaminix: im back
[08:25] <tyler> I installed compiz fusion and i can see the effects and stuff but where can i change them....i go to desktop effects to try to change the settings and it says compiz-kde package isnt installed but i cant find that package using the respitories...compiz fusion is installed though
[08:26] <monkeybritches> kubist: Have you tried reconfiguring your display?
[08:26] <kubist> yes i did all the basics
[08:27] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im back
[08:27] <kaminix> and gone again... O_o
[08:27] <kubist> monkeybritches: have you any idea how can i get actually two resolutions at the same time?
[08:27] <eagles0513875> kaminix: had to change my nick this is my registered one
[08:28] <monkeybritches> Did you try the command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ?
[08:28] <eagles0513875> kaminix: time to start downloadin the release client if its even out yet
[08:28] <monkeybritches> Two? Do you have a dual display?
[08:29] <kubist> monkeybritches: did try that - do not have dual display (or at least do not know about it) :) but what i ment you can see on the picture i provided a link for above
[08:30] <eagles0513875> kaminix: out of curiosity are you on 32bit or 64bit
[08:30] <kubist> monkeybritches: http://pastebin.com/m129a9f53 this is my xorg.conf
[08:32] <gnub_daemon> hmmm...no UPnP backends found when I run either the backend or the frontend...
[08:32] <monkeybritches> You can remove all the other resolutions except 1280x800 since that's native
[08:34] <kubist> monkeybritches: that does not help, already tried
[08:35] <eagles0513875> !upnp | gnub_daemon
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upnp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <eagles0513875> !info upnp
[08:35] <ubotu> Package upnp does not exist in gutsy
[08:36] <monkeybritches> Have you installed 915resolution?
[08:36] <gnub_daemon> 8.04
[08:36] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: try in #ubuntu+1 thats hardy support in there
[08:39] <kubist> monkeybritches: 915 did not help, does not even support i965 - i have that
[08:40] <monkeybritches> Ok...
[08:40] <sacha_> silly intel powertop hasnt helped with my power consumption but froze my compter once instead
[08:43] <iltechie> want to learn  bash from examples, howto index filessearching  in   system ,so searching words in files be quick as google?
[08:46] <monkeybritches> kubist: Does your resolution come up as normal in the LiveCD?
[08:47] <monkeybritches> iltechie: Try "grep pattern file(s)"
[08:47] <monkeybritches> with "| less"
[08:49] <kubist> monkeybritches: no, but it did run once in correct 1280x800 as it started up in some kind of safe mode because i screwed up something...
[08:51] <monkeybritches> Prior to Gutsy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg worked for me, beyond that, I can't say what might prevent you from getting native resolution.
[08:52] <eagles0513875> iltechie: try this www.google.com/linux it finds all sites pertaining to linux and filters out all the other stuff
[08:52] <monkeybritches> But it is strange that there's a blue background behind your desktop
[08:52] <monkeybritches> I would think it should be either black or skewed
[08:53] <kubist> monkeybritches: do you think that it is possible that it somehow tries to apply dual screens on one?
[08:54] <iltechie>  eagles0513875: iltechie: try this www.google.com/linux it finds all sites pertaining to linux and filters out all the other stuff <<<< why should I do such a thing?
[08:54] <monkeybritches> kubist: Each should be a separate device so it shouldn't
[08:55] <kubist> ok, thank you for trying
[08:55] <eagles0513875> iltechie: i have found good links to online books that have all sorts of commands
[08:56] <monkeybritches> kubist: You're welcome
[08:57] <sacha_> does anyone know what channel i would go in for intel powertop/latencytop help?
[08:59] <kaminix> eagles0513875: Hey.
[08:59] <eagles0513875> kaminix: whats up
[08:59] <kaminix> You dissappeared .p
[09:00] <eagles0513875> kaminix: ive beenn in here u disappeared
[09:00] <kaminix> Possible :p
[09:00] <eagles0513875> kaminix: any luck at getting ur issue resolved permenetly
[09:00] <kaminix> I'm still trying to find the default module location and where my module went off too.
[09:00] <eagles0513875> lol
[09:00] <eagles0513875> im thinking of downloading and installing the rc
[09:01] <eagles0513875> and testing that out
[09:01] <eagles0513875> instead of updating bout 400 pkgs
[09:01] <eagles0513875> kaminix: are you on the beta or release client
[09:01] <kaminix> modinfo rt2500.ko shows the thing I made
[09:01] <kaminix> RC
[09:01] <eagles0513875> ok
[09:01] <monkeybritches> kubist: Try removing the "Virtual	1280	800" line from xorg.conf and see what happens
[09:02] <kaminix> Found the default drivers.
[09:02] <eagles0513875> ok
[09:02] <kaminix> Might solve the problem by just moving the .ko file in there... hrm...
[09:02] <eagles0513875> kaminix: might conflict with default but if u have default black listed it shouldnt be a problem
[09:03] <kaminix> The defaults are blacklisted now :)
[09:03] <gnub_daemon> I can't get access to sql
[09:03] <eagles0513875> kaminix: throw it in there and see what happens:( hopefully u dont have any essential data on ur machine
[09:03] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: is the server pkg installed
[09:03] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im having a tough time getting my project started
[09:04] <gnub_daemon> I wouldn't know...apt-get install sql-server?
[09:04] <kaminix> eagles0513875: What project?
[09:04] <eagles0513875> type apt-cache search sql
[09:04] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: that will search for all sql pkgs in command line
[09:05] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im working on developing my own easy to use clustering distro thing is kde contains a decent amount of default fluff i dont need installed
[09:05] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im using kubuntu as the basis for my distro
[09:05] <kaminix> Ah, cool. :)
[09:05] <eagles0513875> kaminix: take a look at www.beowulf.org
[09:06] <kaminix> Hmm.... now when I used modinfo rt2500 it didn't show, even though I put it in the same directory :s
[09:06] <gnub_daemon> and I'm looking for "server"  or something like "ser-mysql-module"?
[09:06] <eagles0513875> run depmod -a
[09:06] <eagles0513875> kaminix:
[09:07] <gnub_daemon> cause I see that
[09:07] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[09:07] <gnub_daemon> it's just that I get access denied and no UPnP when I try to run the mythtv front/backend
[09:07] <gnub_daemon> ok
[09:08] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: it would be nice if we could be able to watch tv via ethernet
[09:08] <eagles0513875> for those that dont have a tv tuner
[09:08] <gnub_daemon> indeed it would
[09:08] <kaminix> Now it works eagles0513875. Now how do I make it load automatically on boot? ^^
[09:08] <eagles0513875> kaminix: it should do that automatically
[09:08] <monkeybritches> Is there something on tv worth watching?
[09:09] <kaminix> eagles0513875: What? How will it know what to load? It's not loading all my modules is it?
[09:09] <gnub_daemon> adult swim
[09:09] <eagles0513875> kaminix: there is an init.d script when booting tells it what starts and in what order
[09:09] <eagles0513875> lol futurama and family guy
[09:10] <kaminix> Hmm... suppose the alias think in /etc/modprobe.d will make it load...
[09:10] <kaminix> Well, time to test. ^^
[09:10] <kaminix> brb, restart.
[09:10] <eagles0513875> kaminix: if u have any data
[09:10] <eagles0513875> kaminix: make sure u back it up
[09:25] <eagles0513875> karminix did it work
[09:25] <eagles0513875> karminix
[09:26] <eagles0513875> kaminix: did it start up at reboot
[09:26] <kaminix> eagles0513875: It did not :(
[09:27] <eagles0513875> kaminix: wish i could help u out more but i have never had this issue. r u on a desktop
[09:27] <kaminix> I am. :/
[09:27] <eagles0513875> kaminix: is it built onto the motherboard or a pci card
[09:28] <kaminix> Built to the motherboard. Oh, by desktop I mean not-server. Laptop.
[09:28] <kaminix> brb, reboot again. I've blacklisted the bad modules better now :p
[09:28] <eagles0513875> kaminix: wait
[09:33] <eagles0513875> kaminix: how bout now did u get it
[09:33] <kaminix> eagles0513875: The module loads! ^^ The bad modules don't!
[09:33] <kaminix> Still one problem though =/
[09:33] <eagles0513875> shoot
[09:33] <kaminix> I still have to run sudo ifconfig wlan0 inet <IP_ADDRESS> up and dhclient in order to connect. :/
[09:33] <kaminix> the wlan0 device isn
[09:34] <kaminix> 't loaded automatically
[09:34] <eagles0513875> kaminix: u could try create a script for now to automatically do all that
[09:34] <eagles0513875> kaminix: as a temp fix till u can get that sorted out
[09:34] <kaminix> And KNetworkManager don't recognize the wlan0 device :(
[09:35] <eagles0513875> kaminix: try this sudo apt-get install iptraf then once its installed do sudo iptraf
[09:35] <eagles0513875> kaminix: its handy for network usage analysis and u can also monitor ur wifi connection
[09:35] <kaminix> k, installing now.
[09:36] <nabil> 8528
[09:36] <nabil> hello!!
[09:36] <kaminix> Which one should I run eagles0513875? ip traffic monitor? interface stats?
[09:37] <eagles0513875> kaminix: hold on a sec
[09:38] <eagles0513875> kaminix: choose detailed interface stats and u can choose which interface
[09:38] <nabil> !!
[09:38] <eagles0513875> nabil: ?
[09:38] <kaminix> eagles0513875: what about the stats?
[09:38] <kaminix> Hello nabil
[09:38] <eagles0513875> kaminix: gives u bytes recieved sent up and down speeds total speed
[09:38] <nabil> Hello! I'm a new user of kubuntu 7.10 :)
[09:39] <nabil> Hello! I'm a new user of kubuntu 7.10 :)
[09:39] <eagles0513875> nabil: welcome
[09:39] <kaminix> nabil: Did you use Ubuntu before?
[09:39] <eagles0513875> nabil: if u have any questions just ask
[09:39] <kaminix> eagles0513875: Yes, what's that useful for? :s
[09:39] <nabil> I've a question!
[09:39] <eagles0513875> what the bytes sent adn recieved is useful if u have monthly download limits and u need to monitor how much data ur downloading
[09:39] <eagles0513875> !ask | nabil
[09:39] <ubotu> nabil: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[09:40] <nabil> I need a small distro turnin' arround tetex or texlive!
[09:40] <eagles0513875> !tetex
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tetex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <eagles0513875> !texlive
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about texlive - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <eagles0513875> nabil: both tetex and tex live r in the repositories as well as kile which is a latex gui
[09:41] <gnub_daemon> maybe that statement should be placed at the top of the welcome text for all channels/servers
[09:41] <gnub_daemon> cause all the gnubs say it
[09:41] <hsn_> how to lower mouse sensitivity in KDE?
[09:41] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: the one of ask
[09:41] <gnub_daemon> yes
[09:41] <kaminix> eagles0513875: Well, I don't have such restrictions ^^
[09:41] <eagles0513875> kaminix: where i am here in europe i do but screw the 10gb monthly
[09:42] <kaminix> :)
[09:42] <kaminix> In Sweden, there'd be a revolution if they limited us to 10GB ^^
[09:42] <nabil> the problem is that my Internet connection is slow :(
[09:43] <eagles0513875> nabil: what kinda connection r u on
[09:43] <nabil> only 128kbps
[09:43] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im in malta but in a few yrs time thats goign to change
[09:43] <kaminix> Where're you moving?
[09:43] <eagles0513875> nabil: nabil check in the repositories for tex or latex
[09:44] <eagles0513875> kaminix: they goign to lay down another fiber cable thats going to be able to handle 800gb bandwith so im hoping they will remove them when that happens
[09:44] <eagles0513875> nabil: even tex live but i would search for it under latex
[09:44] <nabil> thank u
[09:44] <kaminix> Ah, nice eagles0513875. :)
[09:45] <eagles0513875> nabil: no problem ur making me wanna start using it again
[09:45] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im also considering setting up my own cable internet isp
[09:45] <eagles0513875> kaminix: on all kubuntu based servers
[09:45] <eagles0513875> :p if i do set one up
[09:45] <kaminix> :o
[09:45] <kaminix> Cool
[09:45] <eagles0513875> kaminix: im workign on linux cert
[09:45] <nabil> another question: i'd like 2 use my kubuntu directly from an usb stick but my BIOS does not permit this !!
[09:46] <eagles0513875> nabil: cannot help u there how big is ur usb stick
[09:46] <eagles0513875> nabil: 2ndly its not dependent on bios r u on a laptop or desktop
[09:46] <nabil> i've 2: 1GB and 4GB
[09:46] <kaminix> nabil: If your BIOS won't allow it, then there's no helping it. You need a better BIOS if you're to use it.
[09:46] <nabil> desktop
[09:46] <eagles0513875> try install it on the 4gb one
[09:47] <kaminix> eagles0513875: I think he means he can't boot from the stick because of his BIOS.
[09:47] <nabil> by bios does not have the option: boot from usb!
[09:47] <eagles0513875> nabil: on boot up there should be a button u press to choose what u want to boot off of does ur stick show up on that list
[09:47] <oldmanemu> nabil: then it can't be done!
[09:48] <eagles0513875> oldmanemu: he could flash his bios
[09:48] <gnub_daemon> have you upgraded your BIOS to the latest version?
[09:48] <gnub_daemon> you beat me to it
[09:48] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: lol
[09:48] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: im good like that
[09:48] <gnub_daemon> great minds think alike
[09:48] <nabil> phoenix bios 2003
[09:49] <payam> Hi
[09:49] <gnub_daemon> what pc/laptop do you have
[09:49] <eagles0513875> nabil: is this machine custom built or from a manufacturer
[09:49] <gnub_daemon> HA
[09:49] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: stop stealing my thoughts:p
[09:49] <nabil> pentium 4, 1700MHz
[09:50] <gnub_daemon> brand?
[09:50] <nabil> custom build
[09:50] <gnub_daemon> oh
[09:50] <eagles0513875> nabil: what kind of motherboard do u have in it
[09:50] <gnub_daemon> hmmm...what mobo?
[09:50] <eagles0513875> gnub_daemon: haha
[09:50] <gnub_daemon> -_-
[09:50] <nabil> i think via technologies
[09:50] <payam> I worked with quanta i just tried to edit my HTML template but it f u cked all my work. I need a program like dreamwever or Fronpage. I need to desig and i need Layouts. anbody know some goood program?
[09:50] <eagles0513875> nabil: go to the manufacturer of ur motherboard and see if they have a newer bios for it
[09:51] <nabil> ok, thanx
[09:51] <eagles0513875> nabil: no prob
[09:51] <oldmanemu> payam: language please!!!
[09:51] <eagles0513875> !language | payam
[09:51] <ubotu> payam: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[09:51] <payam> Ad give me a answer pleas
[09:52] <kaminix> Why won't KNetworkManager recognize my Wireless interface?
[09:53] <payam> I had all of my files and images in the same mapp and now when i tried to open a HTm file i  cant see my images and the word are so straing.
[09:54] <oldmanemu> payam: have you tried re-installing the program u use for those files?
[09:54] <gnub_daemon> eh
[09:54] <gnub_daemon> that works too
[09:55] <payam> I just the quanta Plus . yes i have reinstall may times
[09:55] <gnub_daemon> wow...the new mythtv gui is kickin
[09:56] <gnub_daemon> for lack of a more appropriate word
[09:57] <kaminix> Why won't the KNetworkManager even notice I have a network card running?
[09:57] <harmental> hey guys....does anybody know a tool for creating video captures (besides wink and recordmydesktop)??
[09:57] <payam> I run Kubuntu . can i install a Fedora 3 tarball(KDE) software on my KDE?
[09:57] <kaminix> KWiFiManager recognices it.
[09:58] <llutz> kaminix: is that net-device already configured in /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:58] <llutz> harmental: wink
[09:58] <gnub_daemon> should be able to
[09:58] <payam> I ve download a .Deb file on my desktop. what should i do to instal it?
[09:59] <Dr_willis> payam,  what is this .deb?
[09:59] <Dr_willis> one normally installs packages with the package manager. NOT by downloading specific .deb files
[09:59] <Dr_willis> 'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb'  should install it - IF it has no extra dependencies.. Double clicking on it MIGHT also install it
[10:01] <gnub_daemon> or install the debian package installer
[10:01] <DOOM_NX> anyone knows what this means? http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5290/screenshotvncdoomsxdeskyk0.png
[10:02] <gnub_daemon> means you need to install that package?
[10:02] <oldmanemu> DOOM_NX: it's a url link to a picure!
[10:02] <gnub_daemon> not a clue really
[10:03] <gnub_daemon> I'm assuming it's a screenshot
[10:03] <sacha_> i think its a screenshot of doom in vnc on someones desktop
[10:03] <oldmanemu> possibly
[10:03] <gnub_daemon> boosh
[10:03] <DOOM_NX> oldmanemu, :/
[10:03] <sacha_> am i right doom?
[10:03] <DOOM_NX> it's a "vncviewer localhost:1"
[10:03] <DOOM_NX> screen..
[10:03] <sacha_> i was right!
[10:04] <eagles0513875> it looks like a borked x install
[10:04] <gnub_daemon> I sez it first
[10:04] <DOOM_NX> shouldn't be able to view my desktop?
[10:04] <DOOM_NX> or something
[10:04] <sacha_> you need assistive packages installed to do this though
[10:04] <payam> ccI run Kubuntu. I would to install a file which is called'111.deb' what should i write in teminal to instal it?
[10:04] <cocoail> hi
[10:05] <sacha_> dpkg -i 111.deb ?
[10:05] <DOOM_NX> sacha_, if someone connects through tightvnc on windows will he see that message too?
[10:05] <cocoail> i got a question for the pro's
[10:05] <DOOM_NX> what are assistive packages anyway?
[10:05] <Dr_willis> 'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb'  should install it - IF it has no extra dependencies.
[10:05] <cocoail> should i use 8.04 better
[10:05] <cocoail> or the 7 version
[10:05] <cocoail> 8/04 beta
[10:05] <Dr_willis> cocoail,   8.04 is due to be released in a few days
[10:05] <sacha_> 8.04 beta is workin fine here
[10:05] <sacha_> it's actually RC, not beta
[10:05] <gnub_daemon> 8.04 isn't quite done yet...but works well for me too
[10:06] <cocoail> RC
[10:06] <Dr_willis> this close to release.. we better hope its very useable.. :)
[10:06] <Dr_willis> its getting close to crunch time!
[10:06] <cocoail> i can see your all excited
[10:06] <cocoail> lol
[10:06] <sacha_> cr... un... CH!
[10:06] <DOOM_NX> so any clue? :P
[10:06] <cocoail> so install the beta yeah ?
[10:06] <gnub_daemon> though when I go to shutdown I only get the options to logoff, shutdown and reset
[10:06] <sacha_> damn, it broke
[10:06] <sacha_> cocoail: correction: the release candidate
[10:06] <cocoail> it wont mess with my linux exsperience
[10:06] <cocoail> it says beta
[10:06] <gnub_daemon> suspend and hibernate are nowhere to be found
[10:06] <cocoail> from where im downloading it from
[10:06] <sacha_> cocoail: then you are looking at the wrong one
[10:07] <gnub_daemon> look for the rc
[10:07] <cocoail> is it going to be the same as the release
[10:07] <sacha_> pretty much
[10:07] <cocoail> should i just bloody wait for the final release
[10:07] <gnub_daemon> close enough as to make no nevermind
[10:07] <sacha_> RC is pretty much same as release. may be a few bugs fixed
[10:07] <cocoail> all these options
[10:07] <Dr_willis> Linux is all about flexibility and options
[10:07] <sacha_> and when the release comes out, you can upgrade to it
[10:07] <gnub_daemon> I'd go with rc over beta if I were you
[10:08] <sacha_> no sweat from your RC install
[10:08] <cocoail> so it will upgrade easily
[10:08] <sacha_> yeah
[10:08] <cocoail> without having to uninstall
[10:08] <sacha_> thats right
[10:08] <cocoail> cool
[10:08] <cocoail> ill get the RC
[10:08] <cocoail> can u give me a link
[10:08] <sacha_> in fact, you can install ubuntu 6.10 and upgrade to 8.04 if you really wanted to
[10:08] <gnub_daemon> just sudo apt-get upgrade I believe
[10:08] <cocoail> cool
[10:08] <cocoail> i saw linux xp lol
[10:08] <gnub_daemon> that seems to break packages and dependencies for me sacha
[10:08] <cocoail> they wouldnt money for it though
[10:08] <sacha_> cocoail: http://www.kubuntu.org/
[10:09] <gnub_daemon> yuck
[10:09] <cocoail> im not paying for windows
[10:09] <cocoail> lol
[10:09] <cocoail> in a different kernal
[10:09] <gnub_daemon> it's just linux that LOOKS like windows
[10:09] <sacha_> i get windows for free thru microsoft connect anyway
[10:09] <gnub_daemon> how's that sacha?
[10:09] <cocoail> cool thanks guys
[10:09] <sacha_> i beta test vista, vista is released, i get 3 cd keys
[10:10] <sacha_> i beta test server 2008, server 2008 is released, i get 1 cd key
[10:10] <cocoail> is it worth going to vista ?
[10:10] <gnub_daemon> ah...I didn't much care for vista really
[10:10] <sacha_> its worth stickin with linux IMHO
[10:10] <gnub_daemon> it's what got me started on linux in the first place
[10:10] <sacha_> but server 2008 > vista if you are wondering
[10:10] <sacha_> if you were going to install windows at all, go with 2008
[10:11] <gnub_daemon> but I need XP for my music writing softwares
[10:11] <payam> I instal it
[10:11] <cocoail> mmmm
[10:11] <cocoail> is it easy to hack
[10:11] <sacha_> gnub_daemon: doesnt work in wine?
[10:11] <cocoail> vista
[10:11] <cocoail> u know download a dodgy copy
[10:11] <gnub_daemon> nope
[10:11] <sacha_> dont know, dont care, i have 3 keys
[10:11] <cocoail> and activate it
[10:11] <cocoail> can i have one
[10:11] <gnub_daemon> not even with realtime-kernel
[10:12] <payam> Do you want to active wista?
[10:12] <monkeybritches> I think a bad case of leprosy would be more enjoyable than Vista
[10:12] <gnub_daemon> HA...no doubt
[10:13] <cocoail> should i downlaod the alternative
[10:13] <cocoail> or desktop
[10:13] <cocoail> alternative is probably quicker
[10:13] <gnub_daemon> prolly desktop if you're a first time user
[10:13] <Dr_willis> depends on your needs. :)
[10:13] <cocoail> im not
[10:13] <sacha_> cocoail: desktop is nice. you can run ubuntu off the cd to see what you're getting in to before you install
[10:13] <cocoail> but i know little
[10:13] <gnub_daemon> I always have probs with alt
[10:14] <payam> When do you use 'apt-get install '???
[10:14] <sacha_> that way you know beforehand if things wont work out
[10:14] <cocoail> ok ill use desktop
[10:14] <sacha_> payam: to install packages that are in your repositories
[10:14] <gnub_daemon> i386-desktop
[10:14] <cocoail> but i can still install from the desktop version yet ?
[10:14] <cocoail> yes
[10:15] <gnub_daemon> yes
[10:15] <cocoail> excellent
[10:15] <Dr_willis> correct
[10:16] <sacha_> you load up kubuntu, see the desktop in all its glory and click the install link on desktop
[10:16] <cocoail> install link on desktop ?
[10:16] <sacha_> yeah when you are in kubuntu
[10:16] <gnub_daemon> it runs a little slow off the cd...but it should be faster after you install
[10:16] <cocoail> can u install it from windows
[10:16] <cocoail> i got another question
[10:16] <sacha_> yeah but you can install it from kubuntu too
[10:17] <Dr_willis> WUBI can do that cocoail  - but i dont advise using wubi.
[10:17] <payam> how can you install a tar.biz file?
[10:17] <cocoail> im doing beta from my internets ftp server (which gives me free downloads)
[10:17] <sacha_> you install it from windows, it defeats the purpose of using live cd to preview it before you install though
[10:17] <payam> tar.gz
[10:17] <cocoail> if i update it after i install the beta
[10:17] <cocoail> will it be less of a download to update to RC
[10:18] <cocoail> if u get me
[10:18] <sacha_> payam: tar xvf filename.tar.gz && cd filename && ./configure && make && make install
[10:18] <Dr_willis> cocoail,  depends on the # of updates in the next few days..
[10:18] <cocoail> i think ill just install the beta and update it once its installed
[10:18] <sacha_> cocoail: you can just install the rc right now
[10:18] <Dr_willis> There maybe 200+mb of updates tomorrow - we cant tell.
[10:18] <cocoail> but i can free downloads
[10:18] <cocoail> from my internets ftp
[10:19] <sacha_> your ISP cocoail?
[10:19] <sacha_> iinet?
[10:19] <cocoail> yes
[10:19] <sacha_> iinet should have mirrored rc by now
[10:19] <cocoail> and it only has beta
[10:19] <cocoail> can u find me a link coz i cant see one anywhere
[10:19] <sacha_> ok ill find one on ubuntu.com..
[10:20] <cocoail> no
[10:20] <cocoail> yeah one with iinet
[10:21] <sacha_> do you have the link to the beta one?
[10:21] <payam> sacha_ : what do you mean with CD?
[10:21] <cocoail> http://ftp.iinet.net.au/linux/ubuntu-cd-images/kubuntu/
[10:22] <sacha_> payam: huh, what part?
[10:22] <payam> sacha_: you said <sacha_> payam: tar xvf filename.tar.gz && cd filename && ./configure && make && make install
[10:23] <ScorpKing> !hdaintel
[10:23] <ubotu> For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[10:23] <sacha_> cd means change directory.. its a command
[10:23] <sacha_> when you run tar xvf, it extracts to a directory named whatever the file was
[10:24] <cocoail> can you find it
[10:24] <payam> my files name is install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[10:25] <payam> Should i write it on terminal???
[10:25] <sacha_> cocoail: do you have to use that directory?
[10:26] <Dr_willis> payam,  you dont need to use that file to isntall flash under ubuntu
[10:26] <Dr_willis> !flash
[10:26] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[10:26] <Dr_willis> In fact you  its proberly best you DONT use that  intall_flash file to install flash
[10:27] <sacha_> cocoail: there's other ones like: http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/
[10:27] <cocoail> what do u mean
[10:28] <sacha_> they have another one without ftp. but i forgot it
[10:28] <sacha_> anyway cocoail, you know that all updates to kubuntu are free downloads for you too right?
[10:28] <cocoail> are they
[10:28] <cocoail> how
[10:28] <sacha_> yeah
[10:29] <cocoail> goes through iinets servers ?
[10:29] <sacha_> just makes sure your sources.list uses iinet server
[10:29] <sacha_> and then all automatic updates use that
[10:29] <cocoail> fuck yeah
[10:29] <sacha_> all updates are contained here for every version: http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/dists/
[10:29] <cocoail> even the downloading of software
[10:29] <jussi01> !ohmy | cocoail
[10:29] <ubotu> cocoail: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[10:29] <sacha_> yes
[10:29] <cocoail> but i dont have to go to the ftp site
[10:29] <sacha_> thats right
[10:29] <cocoail> it will do it for my on kubunut hey
[10:29] <SniperBeamer> I just found out that kubuntu hardy doesn't use pulseaudio by default, is there a problem related to kde?
[10:29] <cocoail> awsome
[10:30] <sacha_> yep
[10:30] <cocoail> well im going to install
[10:30] <cocoail> and can you teach me
[10:30] <kaminix> How do I make ubuntu do ifconfig wlan0 up automatically on startup?
[10:30] <cocoail> how to change the source to iinet
[10:30] <sacha_> just make sure you choose iinet server for updates (might be default anyway)
[10:30] <cocoail> thanks for all your help
[10:30] <sacha_> it's in options in adept_manager
[10:30] <cocoail> cheers man
[10:30] <cocoail> bbl installing kubuntu
[10:30] <cocoail> arrr
[10:30] <cocoail> cool cool
[10:30] <sacha_> or /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:30] <cocoail> cya soon
[10:30] <sacha_> cya
[10:31] <payam> sacha_: help me with this
[10:31] <payam> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
[10:31] <payam> or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):
[10:32] <payam> what do it mean?
[10:32] <sacha_> is this installing a plugin?
[10:32] <payam> yes
[10:32] <payam> Adobe flash player
[10:32] <sacha_> you use konqueror browser?
[10:32] <payam> no mozilla
[10:32] <payam> firefox
[10:32] <sacha_> oh, well wherever your mozilla plugins are stored
[10:33] <sacha_> there's actually a few places that it looks
[10:33] <payam> what should i wrote there now?
[10:33] <sacha_> does /usr/lib/mozilla exist for you?
[10:36] <payam> ARNING: /usr/lib/mozilla exist for you? is not a directory.
[10:39] <sacha_> lol
[10:39] <sacha_> without the existing part
[10:41] <payam> never mind! i knew how i do now i just opend a new websied and  clicked on "installa the misse d plugin "in firefox
[10:41] <sacha_> lol
[10:42] <payam> sacha_: I know it was really Lol
[10:52] <kaminix> I have a problem. By adding commandline stuff in /etc/rc.local I've made my OS start my network interface automatically; however, KNetworkManager (a OpenSUSE app, I know) won't recognize the interface, Konqueror won't connect to the Internet and Kopete won't connect to the Internet. On a sidenot, Firefox also starts in offline mode.
[10:53] <jussio1> kaminix: please dont ask the same question simultaneously in 2 channels.
[10:56] <dkZ> hi
[10:56] <dkZ> kubuntu 8.04 is stable?
[10:56] <jussi01> no. not yet. it is eleased next week
[10:56] <dkZ> ok, thx
[10:56] <kaminix> jussio1: Then which one should I ask it in?
[10:57] <jussio1> kaminix: whichever you feel is more appropriate, however, its considered quite rude to ask in both simultaneously.
[10:58] <Dr_willis> from the termnal  can you jsut PING some ip's?
[10:58] <sacha_> yeah ive had this happen before. if knetworkmanager things you arent connected, everything will be in offline mode
[10:59] <sacha_> this was a problem when knetworkmanager was bugged and didnt work. there was a workaround to force online mode
[10:59] <ScorpKing> i have a multimedia keyboard and the <F1-12> keys don't work. dmesg shows "Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known." how do i get it working?
[11:02] <Dr_willis> its not one of those odd keyboards that defalt to the F keys being multi-media functions  is it?
[11:02] <Dr_willis> I got a logitech that F1 for example defaults to launch browser,  UNLESS you first hit this mode button.
[11:04] <ScorpKing> Dr_willis: it has special keys on them as well which doesn't work either. i just want the Fx keys to work
[11:05] <Dr_willis> could be theres some 'mode/change/toggle' to select F keys or Special keys thats got it confused
[11:05] <Dr_willis> i wonder what keycode F1is normally
[11:07] <ScorpKing> Dr_willis: not that i can see. if i can get the keycode for F1 i can just - setkeycodes e059 <keycode> and it should work
[11:08] <Dr_willis> sounds like a plan. You might want to check that keyboard out under other  linux live cd/disrtos see if they also have issues.
[11:09] <ScorpKing> i'm compiling hdaintel drivers but get "checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.15... not present." and have libasound2-dev installed. what am i missing?
[11:09] <ScorpKing> Dr_willis: i'll have a look online later. thanks :)
[11:13] <wesley> is there a way to deframent you ntfs externalharddrive in kubuntu
[11:13] <Dr_willis> there are some ntfs tools for linux. But i would suggest letting windows defrag the thing
[11:14] <wesley> i want trow windows off it its sucks
[11:14] <wesley> bought a notebook with vista basic lol and i already removed it got now a other version
[11:15] <sacha_> that sucks.. cause you just paid $60 for vista basic
[11:16] <zeke> $60's cheap for vista
[11:16] <zeke> a steal as it were
[11:17] <sacha_> it's vista basic and that's a rip off
[11:17] <zeke> as far as OS capabilities go...yes
[11:18] <zeke> but for what you would pay for it retail...it's a steal
[11:18] <sacha_> i got 3 vista ultimate keys for free for beta testing it.. they are giving it away
[11:20] <zeke> I paid for two of them and upgraded immediately to XP
[11:20] <wesley> uh let i say it so haved me 3 times blue screen and @ the end didnt booted anymore
[11:22] <zeke> holy mackerel...television has really gone downhill in the past 10 year
[11:23] <kaminix> Is there any equivalence to Gentoo's net-setup in Kubuntu? Some tool to configure all network things easily?
[11:24] <dthacker> kaminix: System Settings?
[11:24] <sacha_> knetworkmanager?
[11:24] <dthacker> Then Network and Connectivity
[11:24] <kaminix> dthacker: It doesn't work when I try it. sacha_: Knetworkmanager won't even notice my network interface wlan0 since I switched the driver.
[11:25] <sacha_> iwconfig ?
[11:25] <dthacker> kaminix: What are you trying to accomplish?
[11:26] <sacha_> are you sure it's right driver?
[11:27] <rdw> hi, how to recreate /etc/fstab? i added a hard drive and now i want it to automatically recognize all partitions like the installer does
[11:27] <kaminix> dthacker: sacha_: Yes, the driver is right since I'm on here and that's working. ^^ As I said earlier though, some applications won't acknowledge my network interface working... ehm... like KNetworkManager won't even display it, Kopete's MSN services refuse to go online (simmilar to if you disconnect the net, try to go online on MSN and then reconnect again it won't work), Konqueror won't let me surf, and Firefox starts in offline
[11:27] <kaminix> mode.
[11:27] <ScorpKing> how do i upgrade alsactl version 1.0.14 to alsactl version 1.0.15?
[11:28] <kaminix> It's very difficult to summarize everything on IRC :p
[11:29] <dthacker> kaminix: what I understand is that you have switched drivers and now the OS does not see your network card? Correct?
[11:30] <dthacker> ScorpKing: use adept and see if the package has been updated in the repositories
[11:30] <kaminix> dthacker: Sort of, some applications use it just fine, but the OS itself doesn't seem to want anything to do with it. Yes.
[11:31] <ScorpKing> dthacker: nope nothing
[11:32] <ScorpKing> dthacker: i found this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579548&page=2 but still waiting for the page to load. will get back if i have problems
[11:33] <kaminix> dthacker: I somehow need to tell the system which network interface to use by default. If I don't forcibly ifconfig wlan0 up my wlan0 interface, it won't come up at all.
[11:35] <dthacker> ScorpKing: ok, good luck
[11:36] <dthacker> kaminix: If you want the wireless interface to start by default, and KDE/KDE utilities are not working for you, perhaps you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[11:36] <kaminix> dthacker: Any ideas?
[11:36] <kaminix> Hmm...
[11:37] <kaminix> I tried that, but I didn't understand the syntax. Also, eth0 is not in there but start automatically anyway?
[11:38] <dthacker> kaminix: please pastbin your /etc/network/interfaces
[11:38] <dthacker> !pastebin
[11:38] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[11:39] <dthacker> and then give me the link.
[11:39] <kaminix> dthacker: Okay, it's only default now though.
[11:40]  * dthacker afk for 2 mins to grab laptop.....
[11:40] <kaminix> dthacker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63813/
[11:42]  * dthacker is back and reading.....
[11:42] <kaminix> wb :)
[11:44] <dthacker> kaminix: could you also please post ifconfig as of now for this machine?
[11:45] <ScorpKing> in what package is the kernel source?
[11:45] <kaminix> dthacker: Yes, just a second.
[11:46] <kaminix> dthacker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63814/
[11:47] <dthacker> kaminix: no hardwired connection on this machine?
[11:48] <kaminix> dthacker: Actually, it used to list eth0, though it's not in use. Don't know why it's not listed now.
[11:48] <jim> hey guys i gotta *.avi i wanna put on a blank cd ! whats the best program to use to do this
[11:48] <dthacker> jim: K3B
[11:48] <Dr_willis> jim,  you mean archive it as a data file? or convert to a video cd/dvd?
[11:49] <jim> its a avi file and i just wanna burn it so i can watch it on my dvd player
[11:49] <Dr_willis> jim,  thats a bit more complex.
[11:49] <jim> i was hoping it would be easy
[11:49] <Dr_willis> The tool 'devede' can do that rather easially
[11:49] <jim> drag and drop kind of easy !
[11:49] <dthacker> kaminix: my wireless does not show up as wlan0 in ifconfig.
[11:49] <dthacker> I have eth0 and eth1
[11:49] <Dr_willis> dvd video format and the menus are a bit complex. and can take a bit of time/cpu to do so.
[11:49] <jim> so search for devede
[11:50] <ScorpKing> dthacker: try iwconfig
[11:50] <Dr_willis> !info devede
[11:50] <ubotu> devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.13-0.0 (gutsy), package size 741 kB, installed size 1700 kB
[11:50] <jim> nah its not a dvd
[11:50] <Dr_willis> Theres other tools that can do it. Thye are all basicially front end to the various conversion tools.
[11:50] <dthacker> ScorpKing: eth1 as well
[11:50] <jim> i just wanna put a *.avi movie on a blank cdr
[11:50] <Dr_willis> Making it onto a CD..not sure if thats even possivle.
[11:50] <kaminix> dthacker: Do you use your wireless?
[11:51] <dthacker> yes, but the AP is down ATM
[11:51] <Dr_willis> jim,  you are sort of missing a point here.. :) either the dvd player can play avi files.. or it cant..   if it can only play dvd video. Youmust convert it to dvd vidoe
[11:51] <Dr_willis> IF you have a newer player that can play avi/divx that makes things MUCH easier
[11:51] <kaminix> dthacker: So it's normal eth doesn't show up?
[11:51] <jim> my dvd player can play avi
[11:52] <Dr_willis> jim,  then fire up k3b and make a data cd..
[11:52] <Dr_willis> that just saves you about an hr+ of time
[11:52] <jim> ahh data disc will work will it
[11:52] <jim> :/
[11:52] <dthacker> kaminix: I don't know.  I think part of your issue is that you have now eth0 and eth1
[11:53] <Dr_willis> jim,  its YOUR player. :) i dont know.
[11:53] <kaminix> dthacker: I don't have eth0 or eth1? :s I usually have an eth0 listed, but right now it's only lo and wlan0
[11:53] <jim> all dvd players can play avi
[11:53] <Dr_willis> jim,  ive seen newer players that even have usb/sd slots.
[11:54] <Dr_willis> jim,  Huh? that is not true.. not ALL dvd players can play avi.
[11:54] <jim> yeh i got 1 of those
[11:54] <jim> but the dvd player broke
[11:54] <jim> it was a cheap 1 from aldis
[11:54] <Dr_willis> In fact i imagine i can find some avi files that those cant play. Its all about the 'codec' of the video file.
[11:54]  * dthacker ponders.....
[11:54] <ScorpKing> dthacker: it will be eth1 then.
[11:54] <jim> this is burning fast
[11:54]  * ScorpKing has bad lag..
[11:54] <Dr_willis> many of the playes now can play the divx codec videos.
[11:55] <dthacker> ScorpKing: what will be eth1?
[11:55] <ScorpKing> dthacker: wireless
[11:56] <dthacker> kaminix: let's try this:  in /etc/network interfaces add these two lines.
[11:56] <dthacker> kaminix: at the bottom of the file
[11:56] <dthacker> first line: auth eth1
[11:56] <ScorpKing> dthacker: you can change it to wlan0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[11:56] <kaminix> dthacker: But I don't have eth1? :s
[11:57] <dthacker> ScorpKing: what is the advantage to changing it?
[11:57] <kaminix> Don't you mean wlan0 dthacker?
[11:57] <ScorpKing> ah kaminix :) run iwconfig to see what card is the wireless
[11:57] <ScorpKing> dthacker: none ;)
[11:57] <kaminix> ScorpKing: wlan0 :)
[11:57] <dthacker> ScorpKing: then should he use auto wlan0
[11:57] <dthacker> ?
[11:57]  * ScorpKing goes back to compiling intelhda drivers..
[11:58] <ScorpKing> dthacker: the one that is wireless. it doesn't matter
[11:58] <ScorpKing> look at man interfaces for details ;)
[11:59]  * dthacker reads
[12:00] <kaminix> dthacker: The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules say:
[12:00] <kaminix> # PCI device 0x1814:0x0201 (rt2500pci)
[12:00] <kaminix> SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0d:f0:1d:31:b1", ATTRS{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"
[12:00] <dthacker> ScorpKing: are ethx and ethy considered physical interfaces?  Are wlanx and wlany considered physical or virtual interfaces
[12:01] <kaminix> rt2500pci is the old driver, should I somehow alter that or something?
[12:02] <dthacker> kaminix: we're getting pretty deep in the goo here.  My goal right now is to get the proper autostart into /etc/network/interfaces.
[12:03] <kaminix> Sounds like a good start, though it wasn't neccesery with the old driver, why should it be with the new one?
[12:04] <dthacker> kaminix: I could be wrong, but I think no entry in interfaces=no start.  Can someone confirm or deny my statement?
[12:05]  * dthacker looks around the room
[12:06] <kaminix> That sounds reasonably, but shouldn't I have some kind of entry of my old one left if that was the case? Isn't this some hotplug issue?
[12:06] <jim> errrrrrrrr your right its taking aaaaaaaaages to burn a cd
[12:08] <kaminix> Though it can't hurt to have I suppose, might solve it.
[12:09] <dthacker> kaminix: hotplug?  Is it a USB wireless device?
[12:09] <kaminix> dthacker: Don't know, but well, udev then. Some of the services which activates devices.
[12:10] <dthacker> kaminix: is the wireless device built in, or plugged and unplugged?
[12:10] <kaminix> Built-in
[12:11] <dthacker> ok.  let me read a few more mins and other people are welcome to help....
[12:14]  * dthacker pokes ScorpKing
[12:16] <dthacker> ScorpKing: I don't see any examples in the interfaces example file that start devices this way "auto wlan0"  Is it necessary to map "wlan0" to "eth1" and how do I accomplish that?
[12:17] <kaminix> Why would you want to map wlan0 to eth1? :s
[12:19] <dthacker> kaminix: I want to autostart the wireless device.  It's currenly only showing as wlan0, but I don't see any examples in the docs that say "auto wlan0" so I'm wondering if it needs to get mapped.
[12:19] <payam> I need a woman herer
[12:19] <dthacker> !ot | payam
[12:19] <ubotu> payam: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[12:20] <kaminix> dthacker: wlan0 only comes up because I 'ifconfig wlan0 up'-ed it. :s
[12:20] <dthacker> kaminix: try this
[12:20] <dthacker> first line : auto wlan0
[12:21] <dthacker> second line: iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[12:21] <dthacker> in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:21] <dthacker> then do a network restart
[12:25] <harmental> guys...how can i create a video from a bunch of jpeg or eps files???
[12:25] <ScorpKing> dthacker: sorry, i was a bit busy. reading posts now..
[12:26] <dthacker> ScorpKing: np.:)
[12:26] <dthacker> harmental:  jpgs = still photos?
[12:28] <ScorpKing> dthacker: no entry in interfaces=no start is correct. set wlan0 up the same as eth0. it's still a network device. looks like you have the rest right
[12:29] <dthacker> \o
[12:29] <dthacker> \o?
[12:29] <dthacker> hehe
[12:29] <harmental> dthacker: yeap
[12:29] <ScorpKing> haha. i have to reboot. brb
[12:30] <dthacker> harmental: and you want to burn these to DVD, put it in your standalone DVD player and watch it on your TV?
[12:32] <harmental> dthacker: much more simpler than that....
[12:32] <harmental> just want all the images to be payed in a sequential order....
[12:32] <kaminix^> dthacker: Sorry... second line? :p
[12:32] <harmental> these are really low-res images...not photos or anything like that...
[12:33]  * ScorpKing is back..
[12:33] <kaminix^> dthacker: For reference: I first saved after the first line, and everything went down. The wlan0 disappeared from ifconfig and eth0 jumped up.
[12:33] <kaminix^> Also, I couldn't get wlan0 online (as in on the net, not just ifconfig up) again.
[12:34] <ScorpKing> dthacker: will you manage? i still have nvidia drivers to install and it's giving problems. i'll be in and out of X all the time
[12:34] <dthacker> ScorpKing: I'm fumbling my way through.
[12:35] <kaminix^> dthacker: Got a friend to post what seems to be the main part of Gentoo/Sabayon's script, might be of help? http://utopiaplayer.pastebin.com/d19337df1
[12:35] <ScorpKing> dthacker: hehe. anything else before i go?
[12:36] <dthacker> ScorpKing: nah,  if he can start a device with "auto wlan(x)" then I think we're ok.
[12:37] <ScorpKing> dthacker: it should be unless there is encryption on the link. have fun. :)
[12:37] <dthacker> kaminix^: second line "iface wlan0 inet dhcp"
[12:37] <ScorpKing> cheers guys
[12:37] <dthacker> cheers
[12:37] <ubuntu_> hi
[12:38] <kaminix^> Any third line dthacker? Might fall out again when I save.
[12:38] <dthacker> harmental: If you want to just play them back on a computer, Gwenview will run them as a slide show.
[12:39] <dthacker> kaminix: no.  I have no idea why it is auto restarting the network.  I have never seen that behavior
[12:39] <harmental> dthacker: yeap...but i want to embed that into a presentation....
[12:39] <harmental> video is the way to go...
[12:40] <dthacker> harmental: ah. ok.  the only video editor I know of is kino.  I have never used it.
[12:40] <kaminix^> dthacker: Nothing bad happened now anyway. I'll reboot and see what happends I suppose? :)
[12:40] <kaminix^> KNetworkManager switched icon, but apart from that nothing.
[12:40] <harmental> dthacker: thx...ill check on that
[12:41] <dthacker> kaminix^: you could just do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

[12:46] <dthacker> kaminix: that's out of my skills.  I'd suggest posting to the forumns or a question on launchpad
[12:46] <dthacker> :)
[12:47] <kaminix> Thanks for everything dthacker! :D

[13:10] <NorD> hi who, know , how add 800x600@100Ghz only in xorg ?
[13:12] <oldmanemu> NorD: do you mean refresh rate, 100hz ?
[13:13] <NorD> yes
[13:13] <NorD> only 100ghz @ 800x600
[13:14] <oldmanemu> NorD: you can do it in System Settings >> Monitor and Display
[13:16] <oldmanemu> NorD: are you sure you mean 100ghz or 100hz ?
[13:16] <oldmanemu> NorD: you can't set a refresh rate at 100 "ghz" !
[13:17] <NorD> why  ?
[13:17] <NorD> Modeline "800x600_100.00"  68.18  800<PHONE_NUMBER>  600 601 604 636  -HSync +Vsync
[13:17] <NorD> i cant use it ?
[13:17] <NorD> nord@godz0ne:~$ gtf 800 600 100
[13:17] <llutz> NorD: what you mean is "Hz" not "GHz"
[13:17] <NorD> yes
[13:17] <NorD> sorry
[13:17] <NorD> xD
[13:48] <GeekFarm> Anyone know if it is possible to set all files to read-write or if this is okay to do?
[13:49] <gnoob> GeekFarm, that would be something root could do.
[13:49] <GeekFarm> I'm trying to use apt-get to reinstall xserver and it's telling me dpkg is read only
[13:49] <gnoob> I am not sure why you would want a user to do that.
[13:49] <GeekFarm> I had a complete failure while updating kubuntu
[13:49] <GeekFarm> it's down to command line and I'm a newbine ;)
[13:50] <gnoob> GeekFarm, does your terminal line end it a $ or a #?
[13:50] <GeekFarm> #
[13:50] <GeekFarm> whats the significance of that?
[13:50] <gnoob> $ is a normal user # is the root account.
[13:51] <gnoob> I have not really use Ubuntu but don't you have to use the sudo command? Did you try that?
[13:51] <GeekFarm> yeah
[13:51] <gnoob> and it still says it is read only, interesting.
[13:52] <GeekFarm> I ended uup using $path usr/bin/sudo $path /usr/bin/apt-get install xserver-xorg
[13:52] <GeekFarm> and it tells me I dont have write permission
[13:53] <GeekFarm> does that make sense as a command line?
[13:53] <GeekFarm> It always tells me the path doesnt include the commands if I dont put $path /usr/bin/ in front of each thing
[13:54] <gnoob> GeekFarm, cant you just do $sudo apt-get instal xserver-org?
[13:54] <gnoob> i mean xserver-xorg
[13:54] <gnoob> ah
[13:55] <GeekFarm> hm let me try ;)
[13:56] <GeekFarm> "the command could not be located because '/usr/bin/' is not included in the PATH"

[13:58] <ubotu> malgon: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[13:58] <gnoob> If that does not work, I am not sure what the issue is.  I still consider myself a noob and I have never used kubuntu. I just popped it to see what was happening.  I have been thinking of trying it.
[13:58] <GeekFarm> gnoob - "bash: $ command not found"
[13:59] <llutz> GeekFarm: export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[13:59] <gnoob> GeekFarm, where is the sudo command located?
[13:59] <GeekFarm> in /usr/bin
[13:59] <gnoob> ah, look like llutz knows what he is doing.
[14:01] <GeekFarm> ok I got that path I think, it gave no error response
[14:01] <GeekFarm> thanks llutz
[14:02] <llutz> GeekFarm: have you tried to upgrade to hardy?
[14:02] <GeekFarm> actually it still doesnt have the correct path
[14:02] <GeekFarm> no, I'm not sure what that is... I was using kubuntu but the updater crashed and now I'm down to command line...
[14:02] <GeekFarm> just being trying to resurrect the system somehow
[14:03] <neville_> Phoenix Down GeekFarm? :P
[14:03] <llutz> GeekFarm:try  "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade"
[14:03] <GeekFarm> yeah quite the spectacular failure I must say
[14:05] <GeekFarm> llutz: it gives me a string of directories (looks like a path listing) with : no such file or directory at the end

[14:41] <ysk> i got a notification that there is a new version of kopex
[14:41] <ysk> now how would i install it?
[14:41] <harolddong> do you you know how to use adept manager?
[14:41] <jhutchins> !enter | ysk
[14:41] <ubotu> ysk: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[14:41] <PriceChild> ysk:http://kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/index/C/index.html is useful
[14:41] <ysk> ok thanks
[14:42] <PriceChild> ysk: that guide will help you install software. It is also available on the installed os somewhere
[14:42] <jhutchins> ysk: You will find better support for switching to ubuntu in #ubuntu.
[14:42] <jhutchins> ysk: Basically you want to install ubuntu-desktop.
[14:42] <matt_> even after a complete reinstall, after sudo bashing the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site, they install correctly, i'll startup kdm again, it works fine. Problem=I have to sudo bash them every boot. The last part of the installer changes your xorg.conf, so that is ok. What could be causing this? Everytime i boot up, it goes to a cli.
[14:43] <ysk> yes
[14:43] <PriceChild> matt_: you haven't installed the drivers properly... we reccomend using the drivers included in ubuntu, in the nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy or nvidia-glx-new packages
[14:44] <matt_> PriceChild: hey...i've done this many times on this and other systems...i'm just wondering what is happening this time. used to work 100%. the drivers work much better than your nvidia=glx
[14:44] <Stroganoff> matt_ alternatively you could use the "Envy" (latest) graphics driver installer
[14:45] <crazy_bus> am I allowed to ask a wget question here since it's used in kubuntu.  Or should I go elsewhere?
[14:45] <matt_> Stroganoff: i didn't think of that, why didn't i think of that, i've talked a few times with the guy that wrote it, why didn't i think of that.
[14:45] <PriceChild> !envy | Stroganoff
[14:45] <ubotu> Stroganoff: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[14:46] <matt_> Stroganoff: i'll give it a try...mr. beef stroganoff
[14:46] <Stroganoff> matt_: does kdm startup? (should prompt "starting kdm" at tty1
[14:47] <matt_> Stroganoff: eehh....yes and no. it tries, i believe...
[14:47] <matt_> Stroganoff: but..gotta go, i'll give envy a try when i get back..thanks
[14:47] <harmental> hey guys..I have this problem...when i connect a projector to my laptop the everything prior to the login screen looks great...but then the projector goes black...so far i have succeeded in tweaking the monitor settings to make it work...
[14:48] <harmental> any ideas?
[14:51] <harolddong> how do I get my resolution set right when I install the nvidia driver?
[14:51] <Stroganoff> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[14:52] <harolddong> I can do that when I logged in and it will just apply changes after I restart?
[14:55] <Stroganoff> the changes are applied after restarting the X server (graphical backend) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

[15:06] <DreadKnight> xD
[15:06] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: thats classic lol i do have a question that u probably wont be able to answer lol
[15:06] <BluesKaj> aha , changed yer nick eh eagles0513875 :) ?
[15:07] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: do u know where i can find a list of all necessary pkgs which allow kde to fuction
[15:07] <BluesKaj> kubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: ya lol need to get back to fixing bugs but right now i wanna start a lil project of my own lol
[15:07] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: i know but since im wanting to use it in a cluster environment i would like to change the default pkgs and remove alot of the extra stuff thats installed
[15:08] <eagles0513875> kaminix: hey u manage not to bork ur setup
[15:09] <BluesKaj> eagles0513875, , I'm not sure what the default pkges are with kde
[15:10] <kaminix> eagles0513875: Hehe, yeah. :) Tried to fix the KNetworkManager thingie, but I backed up the settings :)
[15:10] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: Jucato linked me to a pkg of his for instance kbluetooth wouldnt be needed in a cluster amarok neither i just wanna be able to have a kde desktop geared spcifically for cluster environments
[15:10] <BluesKaj> I always thought of kde as a desktop ayer running on top of compatible pkges
[15:11] <BluesKaj> layer

[15:12] <eagles0513875> kaminix: u have to start somewhere i started with to rather easy bugs to fix one fix was released and the other wishlisted
[15:13] <eagles0513875> its quite satisfying knowing that you played a part in enhancing and fixing the best linux distro out there
[15:13] <kaminix> Right now I don't really have the time either. ^^ School term end, university in August. Have started with some C++ in order to be able to help with KDE in the future though. ^^
[15:13] <eagles0513875> BluesKaj: i think the only way to figure that out would be to either get a copy fo the source code of kde or start uninstalling pkgs that i dont need in a hope i dont bork anything
[15:13] <eagles0513875> kaminix: thats a start

[15:20] <kex> hi there, i have a problem with my wicd manager. it creates zombies like sh <defuncty> any ideas why this happens?
[15:20] <SuperSon> hi folks, i'm using the 8.04 beta and am having issues running screenlets.  the screenlets-manager won't load. any help?
[15:21] <eagles0513875> SuperSon: try in #ubuntu+1
[15:23] <SuperSon> is screenlets only for ubuntu and not kubuntu? if so, nevermind.
[15:24] <eagles0513875> !version
[15:24] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[15:24] <DreadKnight> SuperSonic: well, screenlets for gnome, superkaramba widgets for kde3 and plasmoids for kde4...
[15:25] <eagles0513875> how do i check what kernel version i have
[15:25] <DreadKnight> eagles0513875: looking into adept ? :P
[15:25] <sourcemaker_> i try to sync my ipod with amarok and receive following message:  failed to create lockfile on iPod mounted
[15:25] <sourcemaker_> persmission denied... how can i fix this issue?
[15:26] <eagles0513875> DreadKnight: lol im guessing ur new to linux
[15:26] <rootsnatch> eagles: uname -a
[15:26] <SuperSonic> thanks Dread. i'm using superk right now - not quite as nice as screenlets, but that answers my question. thanks!
[15:26] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: sudo
[15:26] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: hold up
[15:26] <sourcemaker_> I wan't start amarok with sudo :-)
[15:26] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: join me in #kubuntu-devel
[15:26] <DreadKnight> eagles0513875: erm.. more or less xD
[15:26] <DreadKnight> SuperSonic: np :-)
[15:26] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: hold up there is a pkg that ur probably going to need to install let me link u something
[15:27] <sourcemaker_> eagles0513875: I have to ipod plugin installed and amarok is detecting my device as ipod
[15:27] <DreadKnight> SuperSonic: the thing is that screenlets use python and cairo for rendering which is gnome's/gtk+ way of rendering stuff
[15:27] <jonathan__> hello!
[15:27] <jonathan__> I tried to connect a mtp-media player with amarok and it didn't work.
[15:27] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: there was a bug filed as to a dependency not being installed let me get the bug and link it for ya that way ull have the pkg
[15:27] <jonathan__> i now found the reason through typing "mtp-detect" once as user root and once as I'm just logged in with my standard user-name.
[15:27] <jonathan__> when i'm logged in as a root it works nice, but if I'm trying the same as a normal user the console says that no mtp-device was found...
[15:28] <jonathan__> how can i solve that problem ?? :)
[15:28] <eagles0513875> jonathan__: probably need to change the permissions for the program
[15:28] <jonathan__> hm i would like to allow all programs to detect mtp-devices when i'm not logged in with root
[15:29] <jonathan__> and not even amarok
[15:29] <sourcemaker_> eagles0513875: this is my fstab: /dev/sde2       /mnt/ipod       vfat    rw,user         0       0
[15:29] <eagles0513875> jonathan__: then u have to change its permissions
[15:29] <eagles0513875> sourcemaker_: i know what ur doing give me a min here plz
[15:29] <jonathan__> and how do i do this? :)
[15:30] <eagles0513875> jonathan__: there is a dependency ur missing that will probablymake it work there is a bug up there that i fixed but the course of action whether to release this package as a dependency or a suggested pkg got it back seated for now
[15:31] <eagles0513875> jonathan__: and right now im having issues with firefox2 getting me to the bug site hold on
[15:32] <eagles0513875> might have found a bug with firefox2
[15:32] <jonathan__> hm :/
[15:32] <eagles0513875> jonathan__: can you try and get on launchpad for me
