[13:01] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:05] <dbrom> hello all.. I am running kubuntu 12.10 desktop and I would like to stop X from running. I am doing running a .run file and it will not run with Xserver running...
[13:12] <BluesKaj> dbrom, ctl+alt +F1 to F6 are TTYs termnals , you can then login and do sudo service lightdm stop , that stops X server , then run your commands , do sudo servibe lightdm start and hit ctl+alt +F7 or 8 to get a desktop
[13:13] <BluesKaj> oops too laate

[14:36] <dbrom> Hello all
[14:39] <dbrom> I have four monitors.. On two cards... and they are setup as two S screens. My question is how the do I use the second X screen
[14:42] <BluesKaj> dbrom, you asked a question earlier then left which i replied before relizing tou were gone , did you figure it out ?
[14:42] <dbrom> No
[14:42] <BluesKaj> dbrom, here's my suggerstion : ctl+alt +F1 to F6 are TTYs termnals , you can then login and do sudo service lightdm stop , that stops X server , then run your commands , do sudo service lightdm start and hit ctl+alt +F7 or 8 to get a desktop
[14:45] <dbrom> Here s what I did in input devices under advanced I set ctrl+ALT+Backspace to kill the X screen and it set the bar at the bottom to be the width of the two screens
[14:46] <dbrom> any ideas how to reset it back to one monitor
[14:47] <dbrom> BlueKaj: Ill be back after i do my terminal stuff

[18:46] <rjune> I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 to build cockatrice. I'm having an issue with qtmultimedia. I'm completely unfamiliar with qmake. qmake appears to be looking for a project file. can anybody help clue me in to what it's wanting?
[18:48] <toplioc> Hi I have iwndows 7, I am trying to install Kubuntu 12.10, I am at Disk setup, i chose "Manual", but it shows sda and sdb. it doesn't show windows aprtiions already existing, but only gives the option to create new parition table
[18:49] <toplioc> I can hovewever go to terminal and "fdisk -l" and see all partions are present.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> toplioc, if you intend to dualboot it's best to create ext4 partitions for Kubuntu before tring to install it , Download and burn the gparted live cd and use it to create the ext4 linux partiton(s)
[19:02] <toplioc> BluesKaj:  Isn't it possible to create using the installer tool?
[19:02] <BluesKaj> yes then you need to use the "guided partitoning" , not manual

[23:22] <volty> hi can I overcome this prob?

[23:12] <fdsajfdjk> ljl, it does increase speed even with the same mirror. usenet connections to the same server increase speed as connections are increased
[23:12] <hs1> hi, do somebody can run a hg view successfully?
[23:12] <[dcr]> !grub
[23:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[23:12] <__Oz__> hs1: hg view?  What's that?
[23:12] <LjL> fdsajfdjk: only if the mirror caps connections.
[23:12] <mindframe-> why won't my swap work?  swapon: /dev/mapper/klx-swap_1: Invalid argument
[23:12] <__Oz__> floppies?  People still use those?
[23:13] <hs1> __Oz__:  hg (mercurial) is a distributed CVS, hg view run the gui.
[23:13] <fdsajfdjk> the server doesn't cap, i can get much faster speeds late at night with one connection. during the day i need several to increase the speed to what i would normally get with one connection
[23:13] <__Oz__> Whatever happened to that new standard they tried to introduce a few years ago - a 100mb floppy or somesuch?
[23:13] <__Oz__> hs1: I see. I know nothing about it, but I'll try to help.  What's your problem with it?
[23:13] <Pricey> !ot > __Oz__
[23:13] <__Oz__> dih.j
[23:13] <__Oz__> sigh.
[23:14] <j> z
[23:14] <LjL> fdsajfdjk: that's because the server is maxed out, so bandwidth is spread evenly between all users. making several connections, in those cases, amounts to stealing bandwidth from other users, and you're liable to be banned for that on certain servers.
[23:14] <fdsajfdjk> lol ljl, not the case. all usenet servers cap the number of simultaneous connections
[23:15] <hs1> __Oz__: thanks, it return this error: http://rafb.net/p/8VIAPC52.html
[23:15] <LjL> fdsajfdjk: then, while i do not doubt what you say is true, i see no valid explanation as to why simultaneous connections make things go faster, and i doubt it's applicable to any server anyway
[23:15] <weeman13221> can i get help from somone getting desktop effects in 7.10 to work with an 8800GTS 512mb

[23:17] <ploom> anyone knowing - could nvidia users now be using desktop effects without memory leaks?
[23:17] <macd> root_____,  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure kubuntu-desktop' or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdebase-bin'
[23:18] <soundray> root_____: you're not supposed to. Log in on the text console or in failsafe mode and run the mv command as above.
[23:18] <weeman13221> macd: nobody there on the channel suggested, any other ideas?
[23:18] <root_____> thx

[23:18] <[dcr]> When I did my dual boot, and I go to my windows partition from the grub menu it just restarts the computer and back to grub i am again, but it loads ubuntu just fine. any help?
[23:18] <ploom> I am asking because I happen to have 7.10 and nvidia geforce 4, and effects do work - but it wont take much time until compiz eats up all my memory
[23:19] <macd> ploom, I dont have a memory leak using the nvidia-glx-new driver.
[23:20] <ploom> macd - will nvidia-glx-new work with geforce4 too?
[23:20] <macd> ploom, no that requires the legacy package, and I do not know the current state of it
[23:20] <ploom> thanks, macd
[23:21] <Chardot> Hey, guys...
[23:21] <root_____> macd:  no use..

[23:23] <macd> root_____, 'mv ~/.kde ~/kde-config-backup'
[23:23] <root_____> mssever:  macd  ok. that mv commmand will make a backup?
[23:23] <mssever> root_____: yes
[23:24] <root_____> mssever:  ok then? how to reconfigure
[23:24] <mssever> root_____: mv means move (or rename)
[23:24] <root_____> mssever:  i dont need a backup. iam already screwed
[23:24] <mssever> root_____: I cam in at the middle of the conversation, so I don't know what you're trying to accomplish
[23:24] <__Oz__> root: you're not really screwed yet.  What's the problem?
[23:24] <soundray> root_____: just do it please
[23:24] <macd> root_____, just run the command, then logout and change your session back to KDE, then login.
[23:24] <root_____> mssever:  how to reconfigure then

[23:27] <mssever> no fun :(
[23:28] <ploom> mssever, whats wrong?
[23:28] <ConstyXIV> what's worse on your eyes, a LCD or CRT?

[23:28] <joecurlee_> hi all, i'm trying to get my pctv hd pci (800i) video capture card working... i went through the firmware extraction, installed the drivers and it seems to be fully recognized. tried using motv to view video and after channel scan only one channel was barely found (looked like total crap)... any suggestions on how to make this work?
[23:29] <joecurlee_> the ultimate goal is mythtv, but i can't get any video there at all... not even the bad signal channel mentioned above
[23:29] <ploom> ConstyXIV, depends on point of view - just dont hurt your eyes - 15 minute bread once in an hour is recommended anyways
[23:29] <ploom> bread = break
[23:29] <prince_jammys> i wonder what root_________________________________'s file names look like
[23:30] <mssever> ConstyXIV: The refresh rate that many CRTs operate at causes a noticable flicker (for me, at least)
[23:30] <cmueller> crack refresh up to 75 and the flicker generally wont be noticeable
[23:31] <mssever> prince_jammys: Good thing he/she isn't using 8.3 DOS
[23:31] <prince_jammys> :)
[23:31] <prince_jammys> mv ______&@###!/\    )))_____
[23:31] <weeman13221> anyone any suggestions as to how to get a 8800GTS to work with desktop effects in 7.10

[23:31] <smelroy> does anyone in here have an NTFS partition that they access? Whenever I copy a file to an NTFS partition the resulting copied file has the modified date set to right then instead of the real modified date of the file, are there any known work arounds or bugs reports I can vote on for this?
[23:32] <Nibblyn> so... maybe someone knows when will netbeans be available from the repos? thanks... :)
[23:32] <soundray> Can I have a sound hint please? Input and output work (I hear microphone input through the speakers), but sound files don't play (tried mpg321 file.mp3 and bplay file.wav)
[23:32] <Nibblyn> netbeans 6.0
[23:32] <natlinuxnewb> Just thought id report in and say a big thank you to this community. Because of you I am now able to log into either WinXP or ubuntu, communicate with both HD's and can now proceed to back up my winxp files and reformat everything!
[23:32] <cmueller> when you reinstall xp, it will clobber yoru boot loader most likely
[23:33] <prince_jammys> natlinuxnewb good
[23:33] <natlinuxnewb> xp doesnt have the bootloader. And after I install winxp again I'll make a system image so that i never have to do that again. :)
[23:34] <mssever> Nibblyn: Have you looked in the Hardy repos? If it isn't there, a backport isn't too likely. Maybe you can backport it yourself from Debian.
[23:34] <root_____> macd:  cant login by failsave either
[23:35] <Nibblyn> mssever: huh, thanks for the answer
[23:35] <mssever> root_____: What error message do you get?
[23:35] <soundray> It goes through the motions, mpg321 -v even showing the progress -- but all I hear is a faint noise. alsamixer settings are all up, and they do have an effect on the noise.
[23:36] <mssever> soundray: Is it like the volume is too low, or are you just getting noise?
[23:36] <__Oz__> I hear of this problem a *lot*, soundray.  Have you searched the ubuntu docs?
[23:37] <__Oz__> (I say, I hear of...  pun intended!)
[23:37] <soundray> mssever: I'm getting noise, and its loudness varies with the volume and pcm settings
[23:37] <natlinuxnewb> soundray: I'm having a similar prob. Sound on winxp is far louder than my sound on ubuntu. I have to turn my ubuntu sound settings and volume up to max, AND my stereo system as well.
[23:37] <root_____> macd: mssever  __Oz__  i just cant. i pres enter after pwd. the same screen comes again. and askes login.  when i type startx. i see some font problem in x11 folder. when i start irssi without sudo. i see . cant cread a .file  . i think in home folder.   last time there was a msg in kde. unable to lauch klauncher. no app was opening. and some dcop error too.
[23:37] <__Oz__> Lots of people seem to have problems with low volume/distortion in ubuntu.
[23:37] <__Oz__> root: might want to reinstall
[23:37] <root_____> __Oz__:  how
[23:38] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Have you messed with file permisions lately?
[23:38] <root_____> Odd-rationale:  dont know. but i gues may be
[23:38] <__Oz__> Oz: using the LiveCD
[23:38] <mssever> root_____: If you hit <Ctrl><Alt>F1, you'll drop to a console. If you can't log in from there, try booting into recovery mode. If you still can't get in, a reinstall might indeed be in order.
[23:38] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Can you boot in recovery mode?
[23:38] <weeman13221> anyone any suggestions as to how to get a 8800GTS to work with desktop effects in 7.10?
[23:39] <root_____> Odd-rationale:  yes
[23:39] <__Oz__> er root
[23:39] <root_____> mssever:  ok. how to reinstall. i dont wana loose my data
[23:39] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Can you log in tty1 like mssever said?
[23:39] <mssever> root_____: Then boot into recovery mode, rename ~/.kde, and try again.
[23:39] <__Oz__> yeah, try recovery mode, root________
[23:39] <root_____> Odd-rationale:  ya. ican pres ctl alt and f2
[23:40] <mssever> root_____: By try again, I don't mean startx
[23:40] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Can you log in there?
[23:40] <root_____> mssever:  i should do that now
[23:40] <root_____> Odd-rationale:  yes
[23:40] <root_____> Odd-rationale: mssever ya. ican pres ctl alt and f2 and start a new concol. but not kde
[23:40] <root_____> Odd-rationale: mssever what now?
[23:41] <mssever> root_____: HAve you already renamed ~/.kde?
[23:41] <root_____> mssever:  no
[23:41] <root_____> should it?
[23:41] <__Oz__> It sounds like he's logging into a session that's badly messed up
[23:41] <rotzak> Hey I'm wanting to give KDE4 a shot. I try to do a sudo apt-get install kde4 and I get this error: http://rafb.net/p/sytJrb50.html please advise?

[23:41] <__Oz__> try the default gnome desktop, root________________
[23:41] <mssever> root_____: That's the first thing to try
[23:41] <Odd-rationale> root_____: You can try mssever suggestion. do: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.bak

[23:43] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  i typed the command. no output
[23:44] <mssever> root_____: OK. Now, try logging in again.
[23:44] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Did you return to a prompt?
[23:44] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  mv ~/.kde ~/kde-confi-backup       right?

[23:45] <Sandra24> On windows I often use telnet to connect to a port just to see if there is indeed a server listening there. How can I do this on linux?
[23:45] <Marti1> wavy__: can you can open a terminal and type "top"
[23:45] <Odd-rationale> root_____: Try reboot and log in normally
[23:45] <mssever> root_____: Use the normal login method (GDM/KDM)
[23:45] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  ok
[23:45] <root_____> brb
[23:45] <mssever> Sandra24: type telnet host port
[23:45] <Thirsteh> Sandra24: You could do the exact same thing
[23:45] <wavy__> Martil, i cant even open a terminal
[23:45] <soundray> mssever, natlinuxnewb, __Oz__: thanks guys, still trying...
[23:45] <Sandra24> doesn't exist, but I can install it then?
[23:45] <Odd-rationale> BTW, how is he able to chat but not log in? :?
[23:46] <dan__> Hello There. Been looking at the hardy blueprints. Is the new theme still going ahead, i thought it read somewhere that it was postponed till 8.10. Or are the blueprints a little behind? thanks
[23:46] <Thirsteh> Sandra24: telnet, yes
[23:46] <mssever> Sandra24: Well, sudo aptitude install telnet, I guess
[23:46] <Marti1> wavy__: and this problem persists after rebooting?
[23:46] <Sandra24> thanks
[23:46] <prince_jammys> no telnet? strange
[23:46] <mssever> Sandra24: I use it all the time when doing web troubleshooting
[23:46] <natlinuxnewb> bbs
[23:46] <mssever> !hardy > dan__
[23:47] <wavy__> Martil, yes, but it only appears sometimes and wont appear other times
[23:48] <wavy__> Martil, and i noticed that in the console i can run normal commands but not the ones that require me to be root
[23:48] <soundray> I have a slider in alsamixer called Hardware Master, and it's frozen at 97. Could that have something to do with my sound playing problem? (Only hearing noise when playing a file, although it appears to work...)
[23:48] <mssever> wavy__: You mean that sudo is broken?
[23:49] <wavy__> mssever, yeah it would just freeze when i try anything with sudo
[23:49] <mssever> wavy__: Odd.
[23:49] <__Oz__> feh
[23:49] <mssever> wavy__: HAve you tried adding a root password and doing things the old fashioned way?
[23:50] <weeman13221> anyone any suggestions as to how to get a 8800GTS to work with desktop effects in 7.10?
[23:50] <wavy__> mssever, no, how would i go about doing that?
[23:50] <Odd-rationale> mssever: Do you need sudo to set a root passwd?
[23:50] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: Installing the restricted nvidia drivers doesn't work?
[23:50] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  cant login .. and when i typed locate kde-config-backup   there was no result
[23:50] <mssever> wavy__: Since you can't sudo, you'll probably have to boot into recovery mode. Then do passwd root
[23:50] <prince_jammys> wavy__: no error message? just freezes?    sudo echo hello
[23:51] <willwork4foo> Odd-rationale: if you really need to set a root password (there's no real need to in Ubuntu, as you already have sudo access)... then do passwd root
[23:51] <weeman13221> warriorforgod: when i go into the restricted drivers manager it says i dont need a restricted driver
[23:51] <willwork4foo> dammit - mssever beat me to it
[23:51] <willwork4foo> Hi all, by the wayt
[23:51] <mssever> hi, willwork4foo
[23:51] <wavy__> prince_jammys, it would just go to the next line and freeze, no messages
[23:51] <mssever> root_____: What error did you get?
[23:51] <__Oz__> what does "gksudo" mean vs. "sudo"?
[23:51] <weeman13221> warriorforgod: im using a freshly installed and freshly updated 7.10
[23:51] <prince_jammys> __Oz__: invokes sudo in GUI context
[23:51] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  should i make a system update by apt ? will that solf
[23:51] <root_____> mssever:  no error
[23:51] <wavy__> mssever, ive tried that but it didn't make any difference
[23:51] <mssever> __Oz__: gksudo is for GUIs, sudo is for CLI
[23:52] <__Oz__> hmm
[23:52] <Odd-rationale> willwork4foo: Yes, I know root passwd is not necesary in ubuntu. I just thought you needed sudo which he was having trouble with...
[23:52] <Marti1> root_ have you run sudo updatedb
[23:52] <__Oz__> so you can run gedit from the gui by creating a launcher with the command "gksudo gedit"
[23:52] <__Oz__> ?
[23:52] <prince_jammys> __Oz__: sudo apt-get blahblah,   gksudo gedit, gksudo totem etc
[23:52] <mssever> root_____: Look in ~/.xsession-errors and see if there's anything interesting in there.
[23:53] <prince_jammys> __Oz__: or kdesudo on kde
[23:53] <alex___> ok, my startup is hanging at "running local boot script" and yes i reconfigured my x server but its still not working.
[23:53] <willwork4foo> Odd-rationale: fairy nuff
[23:53] <root_____> k
[23:53] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: Try the following.  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[23:53] <root_____> mssever:  how to open that
[23:53] <mssever> alex___: Can you boot into recovery mode?
[23:53] <Odd-rationale> root_____: use nano
[23:53] <root_____> Odd-rationale:  ok
[23:53] <mssever> root_____: from a terminal, type less ~/.xsession-errors
[23:53] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: Also try installing Envy
[23:54] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: If the first suggestion doesn't work.
[23:54] <__Oz__> I don't totally get what why you'd need something different for GUI use.
[23:54] <prince_jammys> !envy
[23:54] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[23:54] <mssever> __Oz__: because sudo prompts on stdout. If you're running a GUI, there is no stdout
[23:54] <weeman13221> warriorforgod: so if not the first one do sudo apt-get install envy?
[23:54] <__Oz__> stdout?
[23:54] <mssever> __Oz__: If you're in CLI, you don't want some window popping up
[23:54] <warriorforgod> prince_jammys: He stated that the restricted driver manager is not letting him install the nvidia drivers.
[23:55] <fdsajfdjk> ubuntu should just support envy so people in here dont have to keep saying dont use it
[23:55] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  that file is empty
[23:55] <root_____> mssever:  Odd-rationale  no other user account is working too
[23:55] <__Oz__> CLI?
[23:55] <fdsajfdjk> warriorforgod probably because he doesnt have the propreitary repository enabled
[23:55] <willwork4foo>  Hey  - does anyone here use kiba-dock? I've been messing around with it, and if it were actually possible to marry a software program I think I'd happily do so, and cuddle it all night :) There's only one niggling thing.... does anyone here know how to get it to do that progressive zoom of icons surrounding the one the mouse is on, as well as just that one? (kinda the way it does on OSX)
[23:55] <__Oz__> what is stdout and CLI?
[23:55] <fdsajfdjk> warriorforgod nice id, its good to see intelligent people following the lord
[23:55] <Odd-rationale> __Oz__: CLI == Command Line Interface
[23:55] <willwork4foo> __Oz__, is that a joke?
[23:56] <warriorforgod> fdsajfdjk: When did they make that change.  I have never had to enable the restricted repository.
[23:56] <mssever> root_____: Well, it sounds lke your install (possibly X) is borked. Unless you know what you're doing, the best thing is to back up /home and reinstall
[23:56] <soundray> fdsajfdjk: it doesn't work that way. A distribution can't support software that contravenes its design.
[23:56] <Odd-rationale> __Oz__: VS, GUI == Graphical User Interface
[23:56] <levander> I found the "Shared Folders" dialog that lets you export directories over the network.  Is there another dialog that lets you mount directories from the network?  Or, do we still have to edit fstab by hand for that?
[23:56] <root_____> mssever:  how to reinstall? (i dont wana loose apps i installed)
[23:56] <mssever> __Oz__: stdout is where CLI programs print prompts and such
[23:56] <willwork4foo> stdout = the standard output stream configured on a  program - it could be either a printer, or the screen (normal), or it could be a network port, or a serial port, or anything really... everything's a file anyway
[23:56] <fdsajfdjk> hm, to install proprietary nvidia drivers i always have to enable certain repositories, maybe thats just me
[23:56] <__Oz__> willwork4foo: no joke.
[23:57] <root_____> mssever:  what do you mean. reinstall kubuntu. or reinstall kde or reinstall x?
[23:57] <mssever> root_____: You'll have to make a list of what you installed (hopefully you only installed from the repos) and keep it
[23:57] <soundray> fdsajfdjk: yeah, that's just you. Normally, proprietary drivers are installed through System-Administration-Restricted Drivers Manager
[23:57] <alex___> how do i boot in recovery mode
[23:57] <weeman13221> warriorforgod: ok so it didnt work so how do i install envy?
[23:57] <natlinuxnewb> what prog can i use that is both Win and Ubuntu compatible to export all thunderbird settings and mail from winxp to ubuntu? I used Mozbackup but found out there is no Linux version.
[23:58] <__Oz__> thanks, mssever and odd-rationale
[23:58] <mssever> root_____: You should Google for help on reinstalling... It's too much to type here
[23:58] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: Did it give an error or anything?
[23:58] <mssever> !reinstall | root_____
[23:58] <ubotu> root_____: To renew the configuration of a package when installing, sudo apt-get remove --purge <package> && sudo apt-get install <package>.  WARNING: This is dangerous, don't do this with core packages
[23:58] <Odd-rationale> alex___: You should choose "recovery mode" from the GRUB menu
[23:58] <soundray> weeman13221: whatever you do, don't install envy please. If you do, don't expect help from this channel.
[23:58] <weeman13221> soundray: one moment
[23:58] <Odd-rationale> alex___: Press Esc when grub is loading to get to the grub menu
[23:58] <mssever> root_____: I mean reinstall Ubuntu
[23:58] <natlinuxnewb> !envy
[23:58] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[23:58] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: You will probably have to restart X to get the new drivers to work.  Also have you tried installing the binary drivers from nvidias site?
[23:58] <weeman13221> soundray: need to restart x
[23:58] <fdsajfdjk> yeah theres definitely no reason to install envy.
[23:59] <root_____> mssever:  how about just reinstalling kde?
[23:59] <mssever> root_____: You could try, but I seriously doubt it will accomplish anything
[23:59] <weeman13221> warriorforgod: i tried nvidia's drivers on last install of 7.10 didnt work but one sec to restart x i just logout log back in correct?
[23:59] <mssever> root_____: It appears that KDE is just fine
[23:59] <alex___> msssever: im in recovery mode, what can be done here?
[23:59] <root_____> mssever:  why so. it the problem is in kde. reinstalling it will solve?
[23:59] <danbhfive> what's the name of that irissi irc client?  Im misspelling it I think
[23:59] <warriorforgod> weeman13221: You can hit CTRL+ALT+BKSPCE to restart X
