[09:32] <dein> dont do sound converter
[09:32] <federico> dein it says: access point invalid
[09:32] <wry> havin some probs with adept
[09:32] <dein> one sec federico
[09:33] <royal> what then dein?
[09:33] <grothesk> federico: ifconfig
[09:33] <federico> dein ok it is a pcmcia card, i already installled the driver
[09:33] <dein> one sec ill give you instructions
[09:34] <dein> first go into adept
[09:34] <wry> when I try and open adept it tells me that another process is using the database.
[09:34] <royal> adept is where now?
[09:34] <dein> try sudo apt-get install wry
[09:34] <dein> under system
[09:34] <royal> ok
[09:34] <federico> dein thanks
[09:35] <royal> (btw that thing isn't connected to the internet)
[09:35] <royal> (just so you know)
[09:35] <dein> you're gonna need to get it connected
[09:35] <royal> hmm...
[09:35] <dein> but in the meantime
[09:36] <dein> go to the view menu in adept
[09:36] <royal> ok.
[09:36] <dein> and choose manage repositories
[09:36] <wry> dein---> I don't have anything in particular i wants to get and so would rather browse in the gui
[09:37] <dein> wry still try downloading something in apt-get, it will tell you what to do if the problem persists
[09:37] <dein> do sudo apt-get install libtorrent
[09:37] <wry> cheers
[09:38] <dein> see where it says ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' royal?
[09:38] <royal> for me or wry?
[09:38] <royal> oh
[09:38] <dein> the two lines that start with deb, right click them and choose enable
[09:39] <royal> got it
[09:39] <dein> then click the components section of those lines and make it say 'universe multivers'
[09:39] <dein> 'universe multiverse'
[09:40] <wry> dein--> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[09:40] <dein> run that command it just told you to run wry
[09:40] <dein> should fix your problem
[09:41] <wry> cool, just thought i might need to find somethin in specific to run it on
[09:41] <dein> nah
[09:41] <dein> tell me if that fixes it
[09:41] <dein> after you're done editing those lines royal tell me
[09:42] <royal> alright i'm done
[09:42] <dein> ok, next section there is a line that reads "## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'backports'"
[09:43] <dein> enable the two lines
[09:43] <dein> then make sure their components section reads 'main restricted universe multiverse '
[09:44] <dein> click apply and then close
[09:45] <wry> can anyone suggest a good email client?
[09:45] <dein> tell me when you're done
[09:45] <dein> kmail is what i use
[09:45] <wry> Kontact keeps tripping over itself
[09:45] <dein> what kde version are you using?
[09:46] <royal> ok wait the two lines below the uncomment the following lines etc only have to be "main restricted universe multiverse" or all 4 lines?
[09:46] <dein> only the two lines below
[09:46] <wry> dein--> humour me please... how do i check the version?
[09:47] <dein> you using konversation as your irc client wry?
[09:47] <wry> absolutely
[09:47] <dein> if so go to help->about kde
[09:47] <royal> ok got it
[09:47] <dein> that will tell you what version you're running
[09:47] <wry> 3.5.2
[09:48] <dein> ok royal, when you get your computer connected to the internet go to konsole
[09:48] <dein> its under the system menu
[09:48] <dein> and type in "sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs"
[09:50] <dein> or "sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs mplayer mozilla-mplayer" if you want to enable embedded video in firefox as well
[09:50] <dein> wry: you might wanna upgrade to 3.5.3 or 3.5.4
[09:51] <Healot> a total of 17MB download
[09:51] <Goliath23> hi
[09:51] <dein> they're much faster
[09:51] <wry> cheers
[09:51] <dein> hi
[09:51] <Goliath23> it seems that after the update to 3.5.4, the konqueror file previews don't work anymore... I have the arts-codecs installed... what else can I do?
[09:52] <dein> apt-get install kdemultimedia goliath23
[09:52] <Goliath23> sorry, libarts-xine I meant...
[09:52] <halfbloodprince> hey, people! my kubuntu iso download is 100% done! yay!
[09:52] <dein> lol congrats
[09:52] <halfbloodprince> any tips before i burn the cd and go ahead with the install?
[09:52] <Goliath23> dein: I'm not sure I want all that stuff in kdemultimedia... do you know which might be the missing package?
[09:53] <Healot> !w32codecs
[09:53] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:53] <dein> no i'm afraid not goliath, all i know is that kdemultimedia enabled file previews for video for me
[09:53] <halfbloodprince> lupine_85: you there?
[09:53] <Goliath23> I got w32 codecs installed
[09:53] <wry> dein---> where will I find them?
[09:54] <Goliath23> btw. It doesn't show previews for mpeg1 too.
[09:54] <Healot> do you know where the codecs  are located, Goliath23?
[09:54] <dein> you have to add a repository
[09:54] <Healot> btw, you need libxine-extracodecs first
[09:54] <halfbloodprince> any tips before i install?
[09:54] <Goliath23> Healot: adept tells me it installed them in /usr/lib/codecs (the w32codecs) ... I'm sure I have extracodecs as well, mom
[09:55] <dein> deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354 dapper main
[09:55] <dein> thats the one for kde 3.5.4
[09:55] <Goliath23> extracodecs are installed as well!
[09:56] <dein> 3.5.3 is the same except replace "kde-354" with "kde-353"
[09:56] <dein> halfbloodprince, are you new to linux?
[09:56] <Healot> great, thanks
[09:56] <Goliath23> Healot: I take a look at the dependencies and find that package
[09:57] <halfbloodprince> dein: i'm not new to linux per se.. i've uses SuSe linux earlier for a short period.. and i wasn't very happy with suse, so i uninstalled it
[09:57] <halfbloodprince> i've used*
[09:57] <halfbloodprince> this is the first time i'm trying out kubuntu.. it seems to be really easy and promising
[09:57] <dein> well let me ask you a couple of questions quick ok?
[09:58] <halfbloodprince> sure
[09:58] <dein> what kind of network connection are you using for the internet
[09:58] <dein> ethernet or wireless
[09:58] <halfbloodprince> cable internet
[09:58] <halfbloodprince> ethernet
[09:58] <dein> ok
[09:58] <halfbloodprince> that's cool right?
[09:59] <dein> did your networking work out of the box on suse?
[09:59] <halfbloodprince> dein: it worked once i found the network settings panel hidden deep within yast
[09:59] <halfbloodprince> and once i entered the correct ip address, etc, it worked
[09:59] <dein> hmm, if it was just a configuration issue you should be fine
[10:00] <halfbloodprince> i know that it's easier in kubuntu, coz the network settings box is right there
[10:00] <Goliath23> lol? kdemultimedia comes with lots of -dev packages?
[10:00] <dein> do you know what video card you are using?
[10:00] <halfbloodprince> yeah.. an integrated intel video card
[10:00] <dein> ok you should have 3d accel automatically then
[10:00] <|lostbyte|> Where are the firefox temperory files ?
[10:00] <halfbloodprince> yeah
[10:01] <Healot> Goliath23: could you pastebin the file list of w32codecs...
[10:01] <dein> everything else should work fine then
[10:01] <dein> come back when you've got installed and ill give you a guide for how to enable mp3 and the other restricted formats
[10:01] <halfbloodprince> okay, i'm burning the iso using nero.. i'm going to select the 'burn image to disc' option.. is that correct?
[10:02] <dein> yes
[10:02] <halfbloodprince> coz there's another option for burn bootable disc
[10:02] <halfbloodprince> i'm doing the image to disc thing
[10:02] <Healot> halfbloodprince: yes thats the way...
[10:02] <dein> the image is already bootable
[10:03] <wry> dein---> added the repository, but a search of kde just brings up zillions of apps (of course)
[10:03] <halfbloodprince> so once i boot using kubuntu.. it first 'loads' the live cd, right?
[10:03] <Goliath23> Healot: it's not that I have a problem with a certain file type. I can even play all sorts of wmv files. but konqueror just refuses to even try to show previews in icon mode
[10:04] <dein> wry: do sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:04] <dein> then do ctrl+alt+backspace to reset your xserver
[10:05] <dein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[10:05] <Healot> Goliath23: don't worry about that... as long as you can play it with other player
[10:05] <dein> follow that guide halfblood for adding repositories
[10:05] <halfbloodprince> cool, thanks
[10:05] <halfbloodprince> the cd's burning now
[10:06] <Goliath23> Healot: don't tell me not to worry about video previews. I liked them and I wont them back (they worked before) :)
[10:06] <dein> then you can get mp3 support and other special stuff
[10:06] <halfbloodprince> once i boot using the cd, it lods the live cd right?
[10:06] <dein> yes
[10:06] <dein> and there will be an icon on the desktop that you can choose to install with
[10:06] <halfbloodprince> cool
[10:06] <halfbloodprince> what if the live cd doesn't detect my hardware correctly
[10:06] <dein> then you go play on the internet while kubuntu installs
[10:07] <dein> then you should probably wait a little longer before you get linux
[10:07] <halfbloodprince> haha
[10:07] <halfbloodprince> but it should detect it, right? i have faith in kubuntu :p if suse can detect it, kubuntu definitely can
[10:08] <dein> if suse detected it, kubuntu will too
[10:08] <halfbloodprince> cool
[10:08] <Healot> Goliath23: I guess you have to worry then
[10:08] <dein> oh, btw halfblood, kubuntu is much faster than suse
[10:08] <dein> except when running off the live-cd of course
[10:08] <halfbloodprince> suse was such a pain.. beginning with the 5 cd install
[10:09] <dein> i stopped with suse when its package manager went to hell in 10.1
[10:09] <riri> hbp use suse DVD
[10:09] <halfbloodprince> haha
[10:09] <riri> if i had the equivalent of firestarter working on suse i would stick to it
[10:10] <dein> plus it was so slow on this laptop (which has a 780mhz processor btw)
[10:10] <halfbloodprince> what's the default screen resolution that kubuntu installs with
[10:10] <dein> depends on your card
[10:10] <halfbloodprince> i currently use 1152x864.. would that be possible
[10:10] <riri> but know i am testing edgy kubuntu ... i start to like it :)
[10:10] <riri> lol
[10:10] <dein> and it's capabilities
[10:10] <halfbloodprince> well, i'm on windows right now, and i'm on 1152x864
[10:11] <halfbloodprince> so i guess the card supports it
[10:11] <riri> i guess no vista ?
[10:11] <dein> if your card is an intel one, and its running 1152x864, you can probably get that running easily on it
[10:11] <halfbloodprince> cool :)
[10:11] <dein> just go to system settings--> display
[10:11] <wry> dein---> not a happenin thing
[10:12] <riri> hbp you should try knot 2 edgy kubuntu
[10:12] <dein> hmm wry?
[10:12] <halfbloodprince> ??
[10:12] <riri> wry is why ?
[10:12] <wry> dein--> apt-get update stalled for quite a while
[10:12] <dein> dont do it halfblood, hes trying to get you to install beta software
[10:12] <wry> and then told me why
[10:12] <wry> ....
[10:13] <dein> try with adept?
[10:13] <dein> or is the repository down?
[10:13] <wry> Could not connect to kubuntu.org:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>), connection timed out
[10:13] <wry> Fetched 3B in 2m0s (0B/s)
[10:13] <wry> Failed to fetch http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354/dists/dapper/Release.gpg  Could not connect to kubuntu.org:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>), connection timed out
[10:13] <wry> Reading package lists... Done
[10:13] <halfbloodprince> nah, i'm installing 6.06.1
[10:13] <wry> W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[10:13] <wry> oops that was a bit rude... sorRy all
[10:13] <riri> edgy is not beta ... alpha
[10:14] <dein> lol
[10:14] <dein> hmmm'
[10:14] <riri> but knot 2 is installing as well as dapper
[10:14] <wry> short answer i spose is yup it's down!?
[10:14] <dein> hmmm
[10:14] <riri> and you got 3.5.4 installed at once
[10:14] <dein> double check your repository?
[10:15] <dein> make sure its in correctly
[10:15] <dein> when it's down it usually says 404 error
[10:15] <halfbloodprince> yay the cd's written
[10:15] <dein> well, get back on when you're on the live-cd
[10:16] <halfbloodprince> cool :)
[10:16] <halfbloodprince> wish me luck!
[10:16] <dein> the kubuntu disc should have konversation with kubuntu channel preloaded
[10:16] <dein> gl
[10:16] <halfbloodprince> thanks!
[10:16] <wry> dein--> http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354 is what's I gots
[10:17] <riri> dein : no problem with it ?
[10:17] <dein> i dont see a problem
[10:17] <riri> ok you are lucky

[10:20] <riri> yes
[10:20] <dein> nooooo
[10:21] <dein> i prefer a stable system

[10:21] <riri> i don't mind
[10:21] <dein> ill wait until the rc at most
[10:21] <riri> i like to be on the edge

[10:22] <dein> yeah ; ;
[10:22] <riri> i install it on another pc (compiled it)
[10:22] <riri> but now i installed kubuntu edgy and compiled it... need a day about
[10:22] <dein> well, maybe ill try it on my new pc when it comes

[10:26] <rysiek|pl> hi guys, got a strange issue here (asked on #ubuntu already, no help gotten though :/) - the log is here: http://wklej.org/id/14b07dd695 and I have absolutely NO idea whatsoever what to do with that. apart from a clean reinstall, but that's no fun, is it now? ;)
[10:26] <riri> but the edgy guy 's on irc must be sleeping or i disturb them with my questions ... they don"'t answer
[10:27] <dein> theres something wrong with your repos wry

[12:25] <godfather> G' day
[12:25] <godfather> everybody
[12:26] <godfather> Guys ...i'm a newbie...i've just installed Kubuntu on my laptop...i have a modem wireless but i can't set the connection
[12:27] <Vanique> why you can not ?
[12:27] <godfather> ok
[12:27] <godfather> kubuntu can see the net
[12:27] <godfather> but i can't connect
[12:28] <godfather> and surf on internet
[12:28] <godfather> anyone can help me
[12:29] <Vanique> maybe there are no wireless sites avaliable ?
[12:29] <Dannilion> Does anyone know what Error 2 when compiling something means?
[12:30] <godfather> ?
[12:30] <godfather> i don't understand
[12:31] <Stardog> anyone here know the correct command in terminal for cleaning up the foomaticdriver?
[12:31] <Stardog> something like that
[12:32] <godfather> i use wireless assistant
[12:33] <gsuveg> re
[12:33] <godfather> i set the wep
[12:33] <gsuveg> anyone know kickoff menu solution?
[12:33] <godfather> but i can't surf on internet
[12:35] <Stardog> anyone here know the correct command in terminal for cleaning up the foomaticdriver?
[12:37] <cox377> godfather: so you can see the wireless connect?
[12:38] <godfather> yes i can
[12:38] <cox377> when u enter your wep details
[12:38] <cox377> godfather: does it all go through fine, it doesnt kick up any errors?
[12:39] <godfather> no
[12:39] <godfather> the only message it gives to me is when i try to connect
[12:39] <godfather> it tells me that it's impossible to connect
[12:40] <cox377> godfather: Ummm
[12:40] <cox377> godfather: with an error?
[12:40] <cox377> godfather: can u access the router or is it just a problem with the internet
[12:41] <godfather> i don't think it is a probeleom of the router o in ternte
[12:41] <godfather> because
[12:41] <godfather> here there there are three laptops connected
[12:42] <cox377> godfather: so the problem comes when you try to connect to the wireless connect?
[12:42] <godfather> yes
[12:42] <cox377> how did u set up the wireless card on your laptop? is it usb or internal?
[12:43] <godfather> i have got an usb adapter but i don't know how it sees it
[12:43] <godfather> usb or internal
[12:44] <cox377> godfather: but when you scan for networks it fines the network in question
[12:44] <godfather> yes
[12:44] <godfather> it's strange but i finds it
[12:45] <mikki> need some  help with playing dvds
[12:46] <godfather> is there any procedure by command line
[12:46] <cox377> godfather: I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but i spent days tryingt o get my wireless network working under kubuntu with a usb stick so it's amazing u got it working straight out of the box, try turnoing the wep off the router and see if u can connect that way then can work from there
[12:47] <godfather> i tried
[12:47] <godfather> but it didn't work
[12:48] <cox377> godfather: Ummm.. basically, the problem i had was that i got the wireless all working fine, and then, i think after an update it stopped working and i never managed to get it working again. i wonder if the problem u have is the same, i could get it to see the wireless network but it wouldnt connect
[12:48] <cox377> mikki: whats the prob?
[12:48] <cox377> godfather: can u take a screen dump and see if it's the same problem
[12:49] <mikki> its no program that wants to play dvd
[12:49] <cox377> have u tried VLC?
[12:50] <Stardog> mikki: have u installed dvd playback capability?
[12:50] <mikki> dont know
[12:50] <mikki> i get this with okle: /media/cdrom0 is a folder, but a file was expected.
[12:51] <cox377> mikki:
[12:51] <cox377>   # apt-get update
[12:51] <cox377>    # apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2
[12:51] <cox377> mikki: can u not actually see the files?
[12:51] <Stardog> anyone here know the correct command in terminal for cleaning up the foomaticdriver?
[12:52] <mikki> i can se the files
[12:52] <cox377> try installing what i said
[12:55] <mikki> it said that i alredy got vlc, and the package libdvdcss2 dont exist
[12:55] <mikki> i have also tried vlc
[12:56] <mikki> vlc opens but dosnt play the dvd
[12:58] <Stardog> i think u have to install dvd playback cpability... should be easy to find this in adept really.... and use xine, mplayer or kaffeine
[12:58] <mikki> ok
[12:59] <mikki> ill try
[12:59] <Linux_Galore> I had a busy day, been demo'ing Kubuntu to people
[01:00] <Linux_Galore> people are rather stunned that its so pretty (helps that Ive given everything a once over)
[01:00] <mikki> do u know what its called ?
[01:01] <mikki> nothing on dvd playback
[01:02] <Linux_Galore> just do a search on dvd  should see something like libdvdcss2
[01:03] <z1pp3r> I've got an Asus P5LD2 motherboard with an onboard soundcard (Realtek ALC882). I also have an Audigy 4 PCI soundcard installed. However, i'm only able to get sound from my audigy card. I found a guide on the forums that told me to use OSS instead of ALSA, and i tried that - i still only get sound from my audigy card. Anyone got a hint on what to do?
[01:05] <arunkale> hey people
[01:05] <arunkale> this is halfbloodprince
[01:05] <arunkale> and i'm on kubuntu!!
[01:06] <arunkale> anyone around?
[01:06] <Mortice> yup.
[01:06] <arunkale> yay i'm on kubuntu :)
[01:06] <arunkale> i installed it properly
[01:06] <arunkale> and it was SO easy
[01:07] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you need to setup two sounds devices, I wouldnt bother though sound in Linux is still not quiet there yet
[01:07] <Mortice> nice. now get off whatever antisocial irc client you're using which doesn't respond to ctcp VERSION. :P
[01:08] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: just stick with the sb card
[01:08] <lupine_85> 'lo
[01:08] <lupine_85> was it worth the d/l time? :)
[01:08] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: the realtek stuff is rubbish
[01:09] <halfbloodprince> haha
[01:09] <halfbloodprince> konversation
[01:09] <halfbloodprince> lupine_85: you around?
[01:09] <halfbloodprince> can someone please tell me how to change system fonts, etc?
[01:09] <Linux_Galore> halfbloodprince: kcontrol
[01:09] <lupine_85> yes :)
[01:09] <lupine_85> K->System Settings
[01:10] <lupine_85> enjoying it so far?
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> loving it
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> it was soo easy to install!
[01:10] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, i know i should.... but i'd really like to get it working, even if it's not an easy task. I'm always in for a challenge, especially when others have reported the very same soundcard (on the same motherboard even) to work, just by changing to OSS
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> totally worth the download time
[01:10] <Mortice> Konversation :(
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> and it detected my hardware like magic
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> even the live cd ran so fast!
[01:10] <Mortice> you a new linux convert then, halfbloodprince?
[01:10] <halfbloodprince> yeah, man
[01:10] <lupine_85> Konversation is good :)
[01:11] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you do realise OSS is total rubbish and really sux at sound management
[01:11] <Mortice> welcome to the madhouse :)
[01:11] <halfbloodprince> where exactly do i change fonts in system settings
[01:11] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, i do realise that. I also realise no sound sucks even more
[01:11] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: the sb card should work fine under alsa
[01:11] <lupine_85> Erm, Appearance->Fonts
[01:12] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, hmm... Then the problem must be linux using my audigy instead of the realtek one? Is there any way to change this, or even better, get them both working at the same time?
[01:12] <Linux_Galore> halfbloodprince: I just open a terminal type kcontrol then go to Look->fonts  section
[01:13] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you have to define a whole pile of mixer options manually for that, ie what sounds do you want to go to what card ??
[01:13] <Mortice> muahaha.
[01:13] <gan|y|med> hi
[01:13] <Mortice> hi gan|y|med :)
[01:13] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you can have both cards but you cant send the same sounds to the both cards
[01:13] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, well, i want all sounds going to both cards. But if it's such a hassle, i could easily settle for being able to change between the two
[01:14] <halfbloodprince> yeah, got it
[01:14] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you wil have to define what sounds go were and to be honest why the hell would you do that
[01:14] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, bummer
[01:14] <halfbloodprince> how do i minimise everything to desktop?
[01:14] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, due to my setup... i have my amplifier connected to the realtek one, and my headphones (for games) connected to my audigy card
[01:14] <lupine_85> Linux_Galore: I use my second card for SIP
[01:15] <lupine_85> z1pp3r: you can generally define which app uses which card - it's often a bit of a pain to find the (per-application) settings though
[01:15] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: right click on your panel. Add to Panel > Special Button > Desktop Access
[01:15] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: I have a similar rig but I have a small plantronics switch box that costs $8 that lets me select the headset or the speakers, way simpler
[01:16] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: then click the button that adds
[01:16] <z1pp3r> lupine_85, i have quite a few apps that don't allow me to select which soundcard i want to use... if i could change it globally, that would probably be for the best
[01:16] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: I added all the fonts I want, I've even changed them from the 'appearance' section.. but the changes aren't reflecting immediately.. do i need to give some kind of refresh command?
[01:17] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: I think the font changes only affect newly started applications
[01:17] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: easiest way would be to log out and log back in
[01:17] <Linux_Galore> lupine_85: http://www.plantronics.com/australia/aus/products/cat5180054/cat5180053/prod3090125;jsessionid=SS0JQ34DWVDBQCQBGNUCFEYKAEZWSIV0
[01:17] <lupine_85> z1pp3r: hardware is the solution :(
[01:17] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, i know i could to that, but i prefer not to.  And for your information, i set my foot in an university every day
[01:20] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: yes it did!
[01:21] <halfbloodprince> kubuntu is so brilliant!
[01:21] <halfbloodprince> i only have one complaint
[01:21] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: because I hear the same wives tale rubbish all the time
[01:21] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, if you're unwilling or unable to help me, just say so or ignore me. Starting to talk trash just makes you stand out like an ignorant zealot
[01:21] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: In Kubuntu, my maximum screen resolution is 1024x768.. while in windows, i can go upto 1280 x 1024
[01:22] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: lol no Im stating the truth, if you want to believe in consumer fantasy put out by magazines adertising over priced bits of copper go for it
[01:22] <z1pp3r> and for your information, even gold wires produce noise... it's just insignificant on most setups
[01:23] <z1pp3r> dude, wires are the reason i set my foot in the university every day, please dont lecture me about this stuff
[01:23] <halfbloodprince> Mortice?
[01:23] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: You should be able to change that in system settings somewhere. I think there's a display section. I can't tell for sure, because I'm not on a graphical login
[01:23] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: sorry, i'm trying to keep up with other channels too :)
[01:23] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: lol they really have you sucked in dont they
[01:23] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: yeah, but my maximum screen res only goes upto 1024x768.. doesn't go above that
[01:24] <halfbloodprince> that's weird
[01:24] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, whatever. I've become too old for this kind of "discussion". Query yourself if you want to continue any further
[01:24] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: ok, let me have a look around the web for you.
[01:25] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: thanks :)
[01:25] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: ah, of course, i didn't need to. Open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:25] <halfbloodprince> okay..
[01:26] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: in there it gives you an option to choose which resolutions you want to make available.
[01:26] <halfbloodprince> that will fix it?
[01:26] <halfbloodprince> okay, cool
[01:26] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: then you'll need to hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the X server, and you should then be able to use 1280*1024 as your resolution by changing it in system settings
[01:27] <halfbloodprince> Mortice: i typed the command
[01:27] <halfbloodprince> it gives me a bunch of options
[01:27] <halfbloodprince> which one do i select
[01:27] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: leave everything as it is, except for the screen where it asks about resolutions
[01:27] <halfbloodprince> oh it says 'need an action option'
[01:28] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: hold on a second, i'll go through the same process with you
[01:29] <halfbloodprince> dude please allow unregistered users to pm you :)
[01:29] <halfbloodprince> i forgot my password
[01:29] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: i have no idea how to do that on freenode. Any clues?
[01:30] <halfbloodprince> one sec
[01:31] <Mortice> halfbloodprince: it appears that it's not up to me. Seems you can only pm me if you're registered
[01:31] <halfbloodprince> no no
[01:31] <halfbloodprince> you can do this: /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[01:31] <Mortice> ah, thanks
[01:31] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: if you "really" fussy about your audio you wouldnt be using a analogue sound card sitting on side a pc full of digital noise you would use a USB audio bridge and have the amp/decoder right next or "in" the speakers
[01:32] <Linux_Galore> s/on side/in side/
[01:33] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, who says i'm using AN anologue soundcard? Anyway, i do get your point, but as i said earlier, i have no interrest in discussing this any further
[01:34] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: trust me with a realtek audio chipset cable noise is the least of your worries
[01:34] <Linux_Galore> bit like filling the grand canyon with a table spoon
[01:34] <z1pp3r> thats true. I've never argued that statement
[01:34] <Linux_Galore> so why worry about a switch box
[01:34] <godfather> it's time to cook something to put under teeth
[01:35] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, cus' i dont want to use it.
[01:36] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: as i said wait till next year sound management is next on the hit list of things to sort out
[01:36] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, and if you remember, i responded: Why should i wait a year, when several people have realtek ALC882 working right now?

[01:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:37] <Ash-Fox> !fuse
[01:37] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[01:37] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: you can get it to work but its not going to have much functionality die to the nature of the chipset
[01:37] <Linux_Galore> due*
[01:39] <z1pp3r> thats fine
[01:39] <mohammed> hi
[01:39] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: I have a nice collection of SB Live PCI cards, the main reason being most built in chipsets on motherboards are rubbish and a SB Live card gives me 5.1 and the drivers are really bloody good in Linux and there are tons of options in the mixer
[01:40] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: open your mixer window with your realtec chipset and there are hardly any optional adjustments, but one of my $10 SB live cards has about 30 options
[01:41] <josh_> question... what file do i modify to make a permanent change to my path variable?
[01:42] <z1pp3r> Linux_Galore, first of all, i have no kmix for my realtek soundcard and besides, i know all this. What's your point? Sigh, we're getting nowhere, lets just drop it
[01:43] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: one of the reasons kmix has tabs in its setting is because when people used SB cards two years ago the adjusters would go off your screen there were so many so they then put the adjusters in three groups
[01:43] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: kmix is in Kubuntu
[01:43] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: its the mixer UI
[01:43] <z1pp3r> it's in kde really
[01:44] <z1pp3r> or for kde rather
[01:44] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: pretty much a clone of the sound mixer in windows
[01:44] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: yep open a terminal and type kmix
[01:44] <z1pp3r> ...
[01:44] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: it sits in your taskbar
[01:44] <z1pp3r> i'm not a novice with linux, i know this
[01:44] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: same as windows
[01:45] <z1pp3r> can we PLEASE just drop it already?
[01:45] <Linux_Galore> z1pp3r: did you select oss in kcontrol
[01:45] <z1pp3r> i'm sorry, but i dont have much motivation to keep talking to you. I do appriciate your inital help, but that has to be it.
[01:47] <Telroth_Plushie|> z1pp3r, i can't stay long, but what do you need help with?
[01:47] <Telroth_Plushie|> It looks like you're trying to get sounds drivers working, correct?
[01:48] <z1pp3r> Telroth_Plushie|, i barely have time now myself either, but thanks. I was trying to get my onboard realtek alc882 working, but i guess it's just faster to split the cable from my working audigy card
[01:49] <z1pp3r> even though it's an annoying way to do it due to the physical setup
[01:49] <Telroth_Plushie|> z1pp3r, there's a program called alsaconf if you can find out which package it's in
[01:49] <Telroth_Plushie|> kubuntu detected by two cards, but i've had to use alsaconf on other systems.
[01:50] <Telroth_Plushie|> it updates your module list and loads the appropriate modules, after which everything seemed to work
[01:50] <z1pp3r> yeah, i've tried alsaconfig as well, didnt do me much good i'm afraid
[01:50] <Telroth_Plushie|> you give it a try when you get a chance
[01:50] <Telroth_Plushie|> ah
[01:51] <Telroth_Plushie|> i'll see if i can help more when i'm back on (16-18 hours or so)
[01:51] <z1pp3r> thanks a lot, i'll try to be online there then
[01:51] <Telroth_Plushie|> ok
[01:57] <halfbloodprince> i enabled 1152x864 and 1280x1024 in xorg.. and it still doesn't show me those options in system settings -> display ... any ideas?

[02:07] <halfbloodprince> Healot, can you help?
[02:07] <Tm_T> mainly support channel, though some topic chatting is going on always
[02:08] <cjh> ok thanks
[02:08] <Healot> sure
[02:09] <cox377> halfbloodprince: mate, the way i got it to work is delete all the other rez's from xorg file or which ever one it's called
[02:09] <cjh> is there somewhere for general chat about linux? as said, im new to linux and my net connection is slow as so forums are not fun
[02:10] <Healot> the offtopic channel?
[02:10] <halfbloodprince> cox377: my problem is, in windows, i can use upto 1280x1024px resolution.. but in kubuntu it shows me a maximum resolution of 1024x768
[02:11] <Healot> you can laways chat here
[02:11] <cjh> which reminds me. anyone know why whenever i close my "network settings" app by clicking "ok" it stops my net connection?
[02:11] <halfbloodprince> i cant go above 1024x768 apparently
[02:11] <Healot> halfbloodprince: what monitor does X detect?
[02:12] <cjh> the net connection configuration is always reset when i close it
[02:12] <halfbloodprince> Healot: what do you mean?
[02:13] <cjh> i dont know how to get to offtopic channel??
[02:13] <Healot> what monitor does X see?
[02:13] <cox377> halfbloodprince: dude, delete all the other rez's available and just enter the 1280x1024
[02:13] <Healot> the monitor that it detected?
[02:14] <Tm_T> cox377: /join #channel  <- / points to command, "join" is desired command and #channel is target
[02:14] <Tm_T> whops
[02:14] <Tm_T> cjh: that was to you
[02:14] <cox377> Tm_T: lol what
[02:15] <cjh> thought so. thanks Tm_T
[02:15] <Tm_T> cox377: sorry, bad tabfilling with slooow ssh connection
[02:15] <cox377> lol
[02:15] <cox377> np
[02:15] <cox377> does anyone know a command to find all devices on a network?
[02:15] <Healot> ifconfig -a
[02:16] <halfbloodprince> Healot, where do I see that?
[02:17] <lupine_85> cox377: assuming they aren't Zeroconf-enabled, you'd need to nmap
[02:17] <Healot> in the xorg.conf section "Monitor"
[02:17] <cox377> lupine_85: just type nmap in cmd?
[02:17] <Healot> halfbloodprince: a better way is to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:17] <halfbloodprince> that's what I did Healot
[02:17] <cox377> Healot: that method got me no where
[02:17] <lupine_85> cox377: man nmap will give you the options you need
[02:17] <halfbloodprince> but it's not showing the ones that added
[02:18] <cox377> Healot: the only way i managed to get it to work was delete all other options
[02:18] <Healot> select the most suitable monitor that match you monitor
[02:18] <halfbloodprince> hey, lupine_85.. what's up?
[02:18] <lupine_85> not a lot :)
[02:18] <halfbloodprince> i'm on kubuntu :D
[02:18] <lupine_85> really ought to be revising
[02:19] <cjh> are there many channels around? im not having much luck
[02:20] <cjh> anywhere i can search channels?
[02:20] <Tm_T> cjh: sure, /list might help
[02:20] <Healot> type /list >> you'll get thousands
[02:21] <cjh> type it where by the way? sorry, like i said new! lol
[02:21] <Healot> type it anywhere, in channel, server wndow
[02:21] <Healot> press enter key or return for Mac :)
[02:23] <mrj> hello
[02:23] <mrj> i have had problems with broadcom wireless adapter
[02:23] <mrj> i just compiled the kernel <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:23] <mrj> but now when i boot my wireless card is not loaded
[02:24] <mrj> i tried to modprobe bcm43xx and this module loads nice but my card is still not switched on
[02:24] <mrj> could somebody help me ?
[02:24] <halfbloodprince> for some reason my internet connection is accelerated while using kubuntu :D
[02:24] <halfbloodprince> connection speed, i mean
[02:26] <z1pp3r> mrj, i used ndiswrapper to get my bcm43xx working
[02:26] <z1pp3r> cant remember exactly how though =/
[02:26] <lupine_85> mrj: you need ther firmware as well
[02:26] <z1pp3r> works like a charm, unless i have to disable/re-enable it
[02:26] <mrj> z1pp3r: what is your bcm43xx modell, mine is BCM4310
[02:26] <lupine_85> http://www.lupine.me.uk/bcm43xx (the tar.gz) is one potential one
[02:27] <lupine_85> extract it into /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:27] <mrj> lupine_85: i need the firmware even with the new copiled kernel ?
[02:27] <lupine_85> mrj: yes
[02:27] <z1pp3r> mrj, usch.... i'm sorry, i cant remember. It was on my laptop (i gave up linux on it, since acpi was impossible) which is an Asus A6R
[02:27] <mrj> ii wil ltry that
[02:27] <lupine_85> the firmware is proprietary, so you won't find it in the kernel
[02:28] <lupine_85> if ^ that firmware ^ doesn't work, then you'll need to use fwcutter to get some out of the windows drivers
[02:28] <mrj> z1pp3r: i have also problems with the ACPI
[02:28] <mrj> z1pp3r: but u can fix the DSDT broken ACPI table
[02:28] <z1pp3r> problems with acpi with linux on a laptop is obligatory :)
[02:29] <z1pp3r> mrj, even on an A6R? I read that was impossible
[02:29] <z1pp3r> on that specific model
[02:29] <lupine_85> ACPI--
[02:29] <mrj> for A6R am i not sure
[02:29] <mrj> i have read an article for my HP nx6325
[02:29] <mrj> ok guys i will try that with the firmware
[02:29] <mrj> so be right back :)
[02:30] <mrj> i mean - i'll be right back
[02:31] <halfbloodprince> lupine_85: can you help me out with my resolution issue?
[02:32] <cjh> this is ridiculous with my supposed 14kbps driver connection
[02:32] <lupine_85> halfbloodprince: sorry I've got no idea
[02:32] <lupine_85> it "just worked" here
[02:33] <lupine_85> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core ?
[02:33] <lupine_85> oh, have you set up your video driver properly yet?
[02:34] <cjh> is there any alternatives to the linuxant driver for conexant modems? i cant find any
[02:34] <lupine_85> spca5xx-source ?
[02:34] <lupine_85> (just apt-caching it)
[02:35] <lupine_85> I know GlobeSpan Virata are vaguely supported
[02:35] <lupine_85> erm, no that's not useful
[02:37] <cjh> i may seem cheap but $20.00 is a bit much for me at the moment
[02:44] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[02:45] <willnapier> hi folks. I've realised I've been copying some stuff (including a 700Mb iso) onto a 1Gb usb pen drive without mounting first. Does this matter?
[02:45] <Mortice> if it's copying across, it's mounted. :)
[02:46] <willnapier> but it isn't listed when I do 'mount'
[02:46] <Mortice> willnapier: if the files are there when you take it out and then read it again, it must've been mounted when you copied to it :)
[02:47] <willnapier> Mortice: thanks. I'll check when it finishes copying the iso
[02:47] <willnapier> afk
[02:48] <mrj> hi
[02:48] <mrj> no good
[02:48] <mrj> i ve extracted the firmwaare in both directories
[02:48] <mrj> but
[02:49] <mrj> after reboot i have not seen my wireless card loaded
[02:52] <mrj> hepl
[02:52] <mrj> help
[02:52] <mrj> :)
[02:54] <gogeta> hi anyone deal with badram
[02:54] <mrj> people
[02:54] <mrj> i ve compiled my kernel
[02:54] <mrj> and
[02:55] <gogeta> trying to figure outweather my frends pc has a bad ram stick or a fryed prosser
[02:55] <mrj> now i cannot see my wireless
[02:56] <Tm_T> mrj: sounds like your kernel is missing something that wifi needs
[02:56] <mrj> it is possible
[02:56] <mrj> what could it be
[02:56] <mrj> ?
[02:56] <mrj> when i modprobe bcm43xx this goes well but i stil lcan not see my wireless
[02:56] <Tm_T> though I don't know, I trust to packaged kernels, never compiled myself
[02:57] <mrj> ifconfig eth0 up says: no such device
[02:57] <Tm_T> wireless is not eth0
[02:57] <Tm_T> iirc
[02:59] <alex_> ciao a tuttie le ragazze!!!!!c' qualche ragazza????
[02:59] <Tm_T> oh please

[03:02] <BluesKaj> Anyone familiar with tovid scrn settings ...the video encodes nicely but I end up with a sqeezed picture on my tv , which I hate , to me it's unwatchable, Does anyone know how keep the original widescrn picture? The input scrn settings in tovid don't have any effect
[03:03] <BluesKaj> !tovid
[03:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tovid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:04] <BluesKaj> that site sucks!
[03:04] <b_52Centos> hi
[03:05] <b_52Centos> in the middle of the install of kubuntu i have set a root password and i know i am not able to access to run account what is the default root password ?
[03:07] <Tm_T> b_52Centos: none
[03:07] <Tm_T> !root
[03:07] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:08] <b_52Centos> ubotu:  yeah i know
[03:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yeah i know - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:13] <zarck> im trying to customize my usplash image... but all i end up with is a black screen, and if i change back to the default it works... im not getting any errors or anything when generating it either =/
[03:13] <b_52Centos> monitor:~$ sudo passwd root
[03:13] <b_52Centos> Password:
[03:14] <b_52Centos> ?
[03:17] <zarck> realy gets to me, cos it apears that it should work flawless, not like when im trying to run png2bogl with a 24bit image =)
[03:20] <tchung> hi?
[03:20] <[GuS] > Bonjour les gens...
[03:20] <BluesKaj> !fr
[03:20] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:20] <tchung> how to connect to Ubuntu server?
[03:21] <[GuS] > BluesKaj, i am not french indeed :P
[03:21] <[GuS] > is my way to say hi.. ok? :)
[03:21] <tchung> LOL
[03:21] <charlie5> hi folks ... can i damage my monitor if i try too high a screen resolution & too high a refresh rate ?
[03:21] <BluesKaj> hehe [GuS]  , ok bonjour to vous too :)
[03:21] <[GuS] > ;)
[03:21] <tchung> don't think so, charlie
[03:22] <BluesKaj> it'll just crash if it can't handle the rate
[03:22] <charlie5> tchung: system settings if offering  1400x1050 @ 85Hz ... i didn't think my monitor or graphics card could handle that ...
[03:23] <charlie5> (if => is)
[03:23] <charlie5> i guess i could just try ... if it can't damage the equipment
[03:23] <tchung> sorry charlie... I ain't an expert here...
[03:23] <charlie5> tchung: no probs :)
[03:23] <tchung> I hope that some other expert can help you
[03:23] <BluesKaj> wow , that's asking a bit much
[03:24] <BluesKaj> charlie are you gaming ...and ya wanna keep up with braggart buddies etc ?
[03:25] <BluesKaj> if yer video card can't handle that rate , you'll know soos enuff :)
[03:25] <charlie5> BluesKaj: no :) ... just done a system update & noticed this new possible setting ... it don;t look right, and i'm a;scared to try :)
[03:26] <BluesKaj> well, why bother then
[03:26] <BluesKaj> if idoesn't "look " right it prolly isn't
[03:26] <b_52Centos> pff still with the root password !
[03:26] <charlie5> i'd like a higher resolution but the ones on offer are all at lower refresh rates (60Hz) ... except the 1400x1050 one
[03:27] <BluesKaj> anything above 60 ya won't really notice
[03:27] <halfbloodprince> lupine_85: i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core
[03:27] <saki> Hey, probably not the right place to ask, but I've been trying to install Wine, and it seems like it cannot configure the C compiler properly
[03:27] <saki> any suggestions?
[03:28] <halfbloodprince> and i added whatever resolutions i needed... but they aren't displaying.. i even logged off and restarted the x server.. do you think it will make a difference if i restart properly?
[03:28] <larson9999> saki there is a package for wine
[03:28] <voicu> Hi, could you tell me how I can enable ssh logins on my host?
[03:28] <BluesKaj> sorry i gave up on wine, i dunno why it's so buggy ...some ppl love it and it runs nicely ...it depends on the prog mostly
[03:28] <charlie5> BluesKaj: i'll play about with it a bit anyways, thanks
[03:28] <NeoSaki> larson: for x86_64
[03:28] <voicu> Do I need a server-kind program or just to set some permissions?
[03:29] <Tonio_> hum we experiment an issue on kubuntu-default-settings package in edgy and I would require your help, since we need a dapper users information
[03:29] <Tonio_> can you launch "update-alternatives --display usplash-artwork.so" and tell me if on the first line it appears to be "manual" or "auto" please ?
[03:30] <b_52Centos> ed@monitor:~$ sudo passwd root
[03:30] <b_52Centos> don't work
[03:30] <larson9999> NeoSaki: don't know.  haven't tried 64 yet,  i see too many people in here having trouble with 64 to give it a go :)
[03:30] <b_52Centos> he ask for a root password :)
[03:31] <NeoSaki> >_> 64 is nice, this is actually the first proggy i've ran into that won't configure
[03:31] <Tonio_> that's important for dapper -> edgy update
[03:31] <heras> voicu: you'll need to install something like openssh-server
[03:31] <Tm_T> Tonio_: I'll check
[03:31] <halfbloodprince> can someone help me out with my resolution issues?
[03:31] <graft> hey, anyone know how i can get my goddamn encoding to be utf8 permanently in Konsole?
[03:32] <voicu> heras, thanks, that's the one
[03:32] <Tonio_> Tm_T: thanks, we need the info of several users to be sure in fact
[03:32] <BluesKaj> NeoSaki, that's why i dropped 64bit and installed 32 bit ...the progs run on 32 , on 64 a lot of them won't work
[03:32] <graft> halfbloodprince: what's your resolution issue?
[03:32] <suppaman> hello
[03:32] <suppaman> anyone on ppc ??
[03:32] <graft> suppa, suppaman
[03:32] <willnapier> Hi folks I'm having problems copying to a usb key. I mounted it and did 'cp <filename> /media/usb_key. It told me it was a read-only file. I tried 'cp <filename> /dev/sda and it seemed to work. when I did ls I got gobbledygook.
[03:32] <suppaman> gra, graft
[03:33] <graft> willnapier: did you mount it rw or ro?
[03:33] <b_52Centos> HEPL
[03:33] <b_52Centos> SOS
[03:33] <b_52Centos> :D
[03:33] <Vanique> how to set opera web browser as a default ?
[03:33] <Vanique> ;]
[03:33] <willnapier> neither - I just did mount
[03:33] <halfbloodprince> graft: in windows, i could use a maximum resolution of upto 1280x1024px... but in kubuntu it won't let me increase the resolution to above 1024x768
[03:33] <graft> willnapier: well what was your mount command?
[03:33] <halfbloodprince> i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core
[03:33] <halfbloodprince> and i added whatever resolutions i needed... but they aren't displaying.. i even logged off and restarted the x server.. do you think it will make a difference if i restart properly?
[03:34] <graft> halfbloodprince: probably not - what color depth are you using?
[03:34] <BluesKaj> halfbloodprince, have you tried setting it in admin mode , under system settings/hardware?
[03:34] <alexicon> hrm anyone here tried to copy a game over from windows into linux for cedega
[03:34] <graft> Vanique: there's a 'component chooser' under 'KDE components' in kcontrol that lets you set your default web browser
[03:35] <alexicon> know if i can just throw the whole game structure right into TransGaming_Drive/Program Files
[03:35] <Tonio_> thanks a lot for your much appreciated help... :(
[03:35] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: no, i don't think so..
[03:35] <willnapier> graft: sudo mount /dev/sda /media/usb_key
[03:35] <graft> man, this is what always happens.. i come here to get a question answered and end up answering other people's stuff... and my question never gets answered
[03:35] <graft> willnapier: what's the line for sda in /etc/fstab?
[03:35] <suppaman> does anyone know how enable airport using kubuntu on a Mac ?
[03:36] <graft> willnapier: or what does 'mount' say for /dev/sda?
[03:36] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: yeah.. it won't let me increase the resolution to over 1024x768
[03:36] <alexicon> graft: in konsole does it change to utf
[03:36] <alexicon> then just not go back when you start a new term
[03:36] <willnapier> graft: /dev/sda on /media/usb_key type iso9660 (rw)
[03:36] <BluesKaj> halfbloodprince, system settings/display/admin mode/
[03:36] <graft> alexicon: yeah, it's always Western-iso-8859-1 or some such... no matter what i do
[03:37] <willnapier> graft: the filesystem that I formattted it with is vfat
[03:37] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: I did that
[03:37] <graft> willnapier: um, i'm guessing you overwrote the FS anyway when you did your cp blah /dev/sda
[03:37] <Vanique> graft: thank you :)
[03:37] <BluesKaj> where is the res slider positined ?
[03:37] <graft> willnapier: did you try doing your cp <file> /media/usb_key as root, or sudo'ing it?
[03:38] <willnapier> I did it without using sudo and not as root
[03:38] <graft> how do you pronounce that, su-do-ing, or su-doing! ?
[03:38] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: it's positioned to the maximum, which is 1024x768
[03:38] <willnapier> hehe su-doing sounds greatg
[03:38] <BluesKaj> even in administrator mode ?
[03:38] <inc|freaky> hi all. im trying to upgrade to kubuntu edgy, but since more than 6 weeks it doesnt get any further because the package gsfonts-x11 cant be set up correctly - it says: usage error: unrecognized option\n Usage: update-fonts-dir DIRECTORY ...
[03:38] <graft> willnapier: well reformat your key and try it with sudo - might be rw only for root since you mounted it as root
[03:38] <halfbloodprince> yes, even in administrator mode
[03:38] <BluesKaj> bummer
[03:39] <graft> willnapier: otherwise try mounting it without 'sudo' and see if that works - if so you should be able to cp as user
[03:39] <BluesKaj> are on dapper 6.06 ?
[03:39] <willnapier> yes - is there any difference between formatting as vfat and formatting as fat16?
[03:39] <graft> willnapier: yeah, fat16 sucks
[03:40] <halfbloodprince> yeah dapper 6.06.1
[03:40] <willnapier> ok - it's just that those were the instructions for building a bootable install on a usb key. I'll stick with vfat then.
[03:40] <NeoSaki> lol
[03:40] <NeoSaki> hey any instructions on how to setup a 32-bit chroot?
[03:40] <BluesKaj> what video card  halfbloodprince ?
[03:41] <abattoir> NeoSaki: on a 64-bit install?
[03:41] <graft> willnapier: basically vfat has long filename support and fat16 does not
[03:41] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: it's an integrated intel video card.. this other guy on the channel had the same problem some time ago apparently, so he deleted all the other resolutions in xorg.conf except the one that he wanted to use.. that apparently worked
[03:41] <NeoSaki> abattoir: yup
[03:42] <willnapier> yes - can't see that this would matter though for a use-once bootable install. but as long as syslinux recognizes either thats ok
[03:42] <BluesKaj> oh , I never tried thjat halfbloodprince, so i couldn't say if it works on all machines
[03:42] <abattoir> NeoSaki: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[03:42] <graft> willnapier: everyone should be able to understand vfat, it's almost ubiquitous
[03:43] <NeoSaki> abattoir: thanks man <3
[03:43] <willnapier> graft: ok thanks.
[03:43] <halfbloodprince> BluesKaj: could it harm my computer in anyway if i did that?
[03:43] <abattoir> NeoSaki: :)
[03:44] <graft> halfbloodprince: no, it's just a config file
[03:44] <halfbloodprince> where's it located, lemme try
[03:44] <graft> halfbloodprince: /etc/X11/xorg.conf, usually
[03:44] <BluesKaj> dunno about that halfbloodprince :( , maybe one of the other guys here can help you on that one ... abattoir?
[03:45] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: with what?
[03:45] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: if i edit xorg.conf to delete all the screen resolutions except the one i want to use, will that harm my computer in any way?
[03:45] <BluesKaj> the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, I'm not sure how to use it
[03:46] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: why'd you want to do that?
[03:46] <rod> hi, i have kubuntu on an lg laptop, but don't have some keys like the pipe key.  so i'm trying to use lineakd to change some unused keys to this function but can't work out how to do it, does this have anything to do with kubuntu or would i be better of contacting the developers of lineakd?
[03:46] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: my xorg.conf says this:
[03:46] <halfbloodprince> SubSection "Display"
[03:46] <halfbloodprince> 		Depth		1
[03:46] <halfbloodprince> 		Modes		"1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[03:47] <BluesKaj> he wants to increase his res from 1024x768 , which is max in his display settings
[03:47] <halfbloodprince> but i dont see any resolutions more than 1024x768 in my system settings>display
[03:47] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: ok, which card?
[03:47] <halfbloodprince> it's an integrated intel video card
[03:47] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: any idea about the model no. ?
[03:47] <joseba> hola
[03:48] <halfbloodprince> can i check that in some way? i dont know exactly..
[03:48] <suppaman> how can I scan for wireless network ?
[03:48] <halfbloodprince> i can view resolutions upto 1280x1024 properly in windows
[03:48] <willnapier> do I have to mount a usb pen drive before using fdisk?
[03:49] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: try 'lspci | grep Display' in the command line...
[03:49] <suppaman> has kubuntu a wireless network scanner ?
[03:49] <abattoir> suppaman: sure.. Kmenu->Internet->Wireless Assistant

[03:55] <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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:56] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: copy the output and paste it^^^^
[03:56] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: give me back the link
[03:56] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: after so many days here, i though you'd know what pastebin was :P

[04:00] <abattoir> !codecs
[04:00] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:00] <abattoir> SuperSub: ^^^
[04:00] <willnapier> I'm trying to format my usb key using fdisk. 'mount' says it is not mounted. 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' gives 'unable to open /dev/sda. sudo fdisk /mnt/usb_key gives the same. It is down as sda1 in fstab so i tried that too.
[04:00] <tchung> what is the best ssh client for ubuntu?
[04:00] <alexicon> SuperSub: just make sure you get libxine-extracodecs and libmpeg
[04:00] <alexicon> tchung: konqueror?
[04:01] <alexicon> commandline?
[04:01] <alexicon> rsync ^_^
[04:01] <tchung> yea
[04:01] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: i thought i asked for the entire output...
[04:01] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: anyways, its an s3 savage
[04:01] <z1pp3r> alexicon, konqueror for ssh?
[04:01] <alexicon> konqueror if you want a gui
[04:01] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: and not an intel
[04:01] <halfbloodprince> ok sorry
[04:01] <alexicon> use fish://
[04:01] <z1pp3r> alexicon, forgive me my ignorance, but why would you want ssh to be gui?
[04:01] <alexicon> thats what he asked
[04:01] <alexicon> tchung: asked for an ssh client?
[04:02] <tchung> yea
[04:02] <alexicon> i assumed graphical
[04:02] <tchung> just a basic one
[04:02] <tchung> like putty
[04:02] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: see if you have xserver-xorg-video-savage installed...
[04:02] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: check this - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23216
[04:02] <halfbloodprince> how do i see if i have that installed? (sorry about the n00b questions)
[04:02] <alexicon> theres putty actually for unix
[04:02] <alexicon> havent tried it tho
[04:03] <graft> fish:// is really an sftp client, isn't it?
[04:03] <alexicon> but you just use konsole or whatever :P
[04:03] <tchung> umm, is there a built in one in ubuntu?
[04:03] <alexicon> xgterm
[04:03] <graft> ssh client would be like, konsole + ssh
[04:03] <alexicon> fish does ssh too
[04:03] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: try 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-savage'
[04:03] <alexicon> cos i only have ssh port open on my gentoo box
[04:03] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: if it's installed, it'll tell you, else it'll install it for you
[04:04] <graft> alexicon: i mean, fish:// doesn't give you a shell, it is a file transfer client
[04:04] <alexicon> tchung: you mean where you just have a terminal in ssh? like xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal...
[04:04] <halfbloodprince> it says 'couldn't find package xserver-xorg-video-savage'
[04:04] <alexicon> no shell graft just a file manager view of ssh
[04:04] <tchung> yea... I wanna connect to a ssh server
[04:04] <alexicon> tchung: to do what?
[04:04] <alexicon> send files, or run apps?
[04:04] <abattoir> !info xserver-xorg-video-savage
[04:04] <ubotu> Package xserver-xorg-video-savage does not exist in any distro I know
[04:04] <graft> tchung: use konsole and the 'ssh' command
[04:05] <tchung> ok
[04:05] <tchung> I am just trying to connect to my school ssh server
[04:05] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: wait a sec
[04:05] <tchung> wanna check their config
[04:05] <maxi_> hola
[04:05] <graft> ssh is probably the most useful commandline app there is...
[04:05] <maxi_> hola
[04:05] <graft> well, maybe 'ls' is more useful..
[04:05] <alexicon> yeah tchung just use konsole or xterm
[04:06] <graft> bah, xterm! *spits*
[04:06] <alexicon> lol
[04:06] <alexicon> aterm whatever you fancy
[04:06] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: try xserver-xorg-driver-savage
[04:06] <z1pp3r> yeah, eterm is the way of the future, we all know that
[04:06] <alexicon> heh
[04:06] <alexicon> multiaterm
[04:06] <halfbloodprince> okay
[04:06] <z1pp3r> while we're at it, lets discuss vim vs emacs :)
[04:06] <alexicon> vim++
[04:07] <alexicon> i cant even figure out how to quit in emacs lol
[04:07] <BluesKaj> ok guys , does anyone use TOVID ?
[04:07] <alexicon> just bash on the keyboard til it goes away X-P
[04:07] <z1pp3r> lol
[04:07] <z1pp3r> yeah, that should do the trick
[04:07] <alexicon> killall emacs -9
[04:07] <alexicon> byebye
[04:07] <graft> vim clearly kicks the shit out of emacs
[04:07] <alexicon> i havent tried this new vim7 yet
[04:07] <graft> only unshaven people with body odor like emacs
[04:08] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: i got this message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23217
[04:08] <BluesKaj> heh, that leaves me out ...what is emacs for anyway ?
[04:08] <z1pp3r> graft, or people who loves gadgets... "Oh look! My text editor can play mp3's! How usefull!"
[04:08] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: do you have adept running?
[04:08] <halfbloodprince> yes
[04:08] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: please close it if you do
[04:09] <alexicon> lol rms <3
[04:09] <halfbloodprince> okay..
[04:09] <halfbloodprince> ah, it says it's already the new version
[04:10] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: do you think the resolutions will show if i restart?
[04:10] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: ok, now run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[04:10] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: no
[04:10] <abattoir> not yet, atleast
[04:11] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: have you run that?
[04:11] <halfbloodprince> hold on
[04:11] <alexicon> !sources.list
[04:11] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: choose 'savage' as your driver
[04:11] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:11] <halfbloodprince> okay
[04:12] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: then choose the resolutions that you want
[04:13] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: this is what i get when i gave that command: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23218
[04:14] <abattoir> ok, did you choose the resolutions that you wanted?
[04:14] <BluesKaj> if it's jus 2 lines or so halfbloodprince, you can post it in here :)
[04:15] <halfbloodprince> hehe
[04:15] <halfbloodprince> so what do i do?
[04:15] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: it didn't ask me to choose anything, i gave that command and i got what i pasted
[04:16] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: you didnt get a blue screen?
[04:16] <halfbloodprince> nope
[04:16] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: did you execute the exact command that i gave you?
[04:16] <halfbloodprince> yea
[04:17] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: i had already configured it earlier using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:17] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: did you choose savage the last time?
[04:18] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: yeah, i chose savage.. the changes are even reflected in my xorg.conf.. but i still don't see it
[04:18] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: and after choosing savage did you choose the resolution that you wanted?
[04:18] <halfbloodprince> yeah
[04:19] <halfbloodprince> it gave me a list of resolutions
[04:19] <abattoir> ok, when did you exactly run  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[04:19] <halfbloodprince> 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 were already selected (with an asterisk next to them), i added 1280x1024 and 1152x864
[04:19] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: i ran it about an hour ago
[04:20] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: ok, so you knew your card was savage...
[04:20] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: did you restart X after that?
[04:20] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: i'm confused, man.. i was told by my hardware guy that it's intel, and the driver i got was s3 savage.. so i thought that it was just the driver name (sorry)
[04:21] <halfbloodprince> yeah, i logged off, and did a ctrl-alt-backspace, and logged back in
[04:21] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: ok, run it again, restart X and if it still doesnt work, pastebin your xorg.conf file
[04:21] <GNUrante> when edgy knot go out? the 13 September?
[04:21] <halfbloodprince> okay
[04:21] <abattoir> !schedule
[04:21] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[04:22] <GNUrante> thnx
[04:23] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: try that, will be right back

[04:27] <arunkale> nope, hold on
[04:28] <abattoir> arunkale: ok, wait a sec, i'll brb
[04:29] <GNUrante> JFreakCapo: you can remove grub for starting windoze: boot with simply recovery disk and after you can remove grub with fdisk /mbr
[04:29] <arunkale> okay, now it's acting a bit weird
 i don't need boot windows, i re-install it but now, my ubuntu don't boot...
[04:32] <NeoSaki> omg...i just spent 20 minutes troubleshooting a problem setting up the 32bit chroot to find out I misspelled etc with ect
[04:33] <GNUrante> JFreakCapo: use installation Cd with this kernel paramenter root=/dev/hd?? after rerun grub /dev/hd?
[04:33] <JFreakCapo> thks !!
[04:33] <GNUrante> JFreakCapo: =)
[04:34] <arunkale> BluesKaj: you there?
[04:36] <fur> yu
[04:38] <arunkale> anyone there?
[04:38] <BluesKaj> yes arunkale
[04:39] <buz> why is it that the kubuntu.org RSS stream is broken since pretty much forever
[04:40] <NeoSaki> anyone know of a good, customizable RSS news scroll for the desktop?
[04:40] <arunkale> BluesKaj: this is halfbloodprince..
[04:40] <BluesKaj> ok
[04:40] <arunkale> I did what abattoir suggested, but now i can't change the resolution at all
[04:41] <arunkale> I mean i can open system settings -> display.. but if i click on 'administrator mode', i can't see the slider
[04:41] <BluesKaj> did you try it in system settings again ?
[04:41] <arunkale> in 'normal' mode, i can see it
[04:42] <arunkale> yeah, i'm talking about system settings itself
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> hmm.. all the 'plugins' for ktorrent are missing. :()
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> there were there the other day. Lol..
[04:42] <arunkale> i'm panicking a bit here :)
[04:43] <BluesKaj> dunno arunkale, ... better wait for abattoir or some who knows more about it ...I'm a relative newbie when it comes to command line stuff
[04:43] <arunkale> ah okay, thanks :)
[04:44] <BluesKaj> may be Dr_Willis can help you , arunkale :)
[04:45] <arunkale> Dr_Willis: hey
[04:45] <arunkale> got a minute?
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> ask away
[04:47] <arunkale> Well, I can choose a screen resolution of upto 1280x1024 on Windows.. but Kubuntu won't let me increase my screen resolution beyond 1024x768. I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the Konsole, and added the resolutions I wanted.. but now when I check system settings > display, the slider still shows the max. resolution to be 1024x768. And if I click on 'administrator mode', I get this screen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23223
[04:47] <arunkale> any ideas?
[04:47] <arunkale> I'm starting to panic a little bit
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> Its possible its your MONITOR settings that are telling the video card it can only do the lower res.
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> what video card ya got?
[04:48] <NeoSaki> how can you give a chroot access to your current x server?
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> NeoSaki,  the use of the term 'chroot'  in that question is incorrect.
[04:49] <arunkale> I have a S3 Savage video card
[04:49] <NeoSaki> ?
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> you can run X apps as the root user with sudo,  or the Kde/gnome equilivents
[04:49] <arunkale> Did you see that screen, Dr_Willis?
[04:51] <fildo> just manually configure xorg.conf
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> arunkale,   you could either use that x modline genrator web site. and hand customise the xorg.conf , OR (and even a better idea) try some of the various live cd's and see if they use the correct res. if so. copy THEIR xorg.conf over. and compare what they use vs what your system is using.
[04:51] <fildo> with the specs of your card.
[04:51] <merino> 555
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl   - for the modeline generator
[04:52] <fildo> merino: japanese?
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> Moo-goo-gai-pan!
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> :p
[04:52] <_Dink> Anyoe here running ati 8.28 driver with cedega ?
[04:53] <merino> fildo: what? japanese?
[04:53] <luckysaify> hi
[04:53] <BluesKaj> !jp
[04:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:53] <arunkale> Dr_Willis: at this point, i dont even mind the 1024x768.. i just want my administrator mode thing to work in the display dialog box...
[04:53] <arunkale> how do i fix that?
[04:53] <yamal> naah that's chinese
[04:53] <luckysaify> i m indian
[04:53] <MenZa> !zh
[04:53] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> arunkale,  no clue there. ive rarely ever used that part of kde.   try running that preferance tool from the shel and see if any errors show up
[04:53] <fildo> that modeline is a good site, ill book mark that for newbies
[04:54] <NeoSaki> whats the fstab equivalent of this expression: mount -t devpts none /chroot32/dev/pts?
[04:54] <merino> oh,sorry,I'm speaking chinese:)
[04:54] <arunkale> brb
[04:54] <merino> I complie kernel <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:54] <fildo> cedega !
[04:54] <fildo> send! to me
[04:54] <Dr_Willis> devpts? hmm.. aint seen that in ages
[04:54] <merino> the sound card cannot work
[04:55] <_Dink> if you can help me fix my 3d acceleration failed test sure ;)
[04:55] <NeoSaki> should i just have it bind or is it none none?
[04:55] <fildo> ok whats up
[04:55] <merino> but very strange, alsaconf and alsamixer show everything is quite well, just no sound
[04:56] <_Dink> 3d acceleration fails in cedega :P ... everything else works and gives correct output..
[04:56] <_Dink> fglrxinfo is fine... cedega notices the driver... but fails 3d test
[04:56] <BluesKaj> TOVID fails alot ..is there another burning prog that can encode/decode video ...K3b is not set up for  video properly
[04:56] <_Dink> i get no love in #Cedega first they told me to come here... now they just ignore me :P
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> _Dink,  the cedega forums  - would be the place to go.. assumin gyou got 3d support for your video card working.
[04:57] <KingHeaven> can kubuntu umcompress .rar files?
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[04:57] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> KingHeaven,  no - but the rar tools can. :)
[04:58] <_Dink> Dr_Willis, Tried forums
[04:58] <KingHeaven> what tool ?
[04:58] <_Dink> cedga and ubuntu
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> ark + those Rar packages just shown..
[04:58] <_Dink> no answer to the problem
[04:58] <fildo> ati card ?
[04:58] <fildo> or nv
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> _Dink,  #1 - is your video card 3d working correctly.  if not - then its a kubuntu issue/configuration issue.
[04:58] <_Dink> yes it is
[04:58] <_Dink> fgl_glxgears is fine
[04:59] <_Dink> fglrxinfo spits out correct info
[04:59] <_Dink> honestly im stumped
[04:59] <_Dink> ati card
[04:59] <main2x> _Dink, can you repeat ur question?
[04:59] <_Dink> 9600
[04:59] <KingHeaven> ark doesn't work
[04:59] <main2x> ati card - should run on :1 display 1
[04:59] <main2x> it has fglrx bug..
[05:00] <_Dink> hmm
[05:00] <main2x> ATI SUCKS ASS, boycot them
[05:00] <NeoSaki> Linux hates ATI
[05:00] <_Dink> i think its running on 0.0 screen 0
[05:00] <arunkale> hello
[05:01] <main2x> (they've never supported, or given about the *nix community, show them how money can hurt  )
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> KingHeaven,  ark can work - if you have the unrar/rar packages/tools installed.
[05:01] <main2x> NeoSaki, linux hates nobody
[05:01] <_Dink> main2x so you think its display issuebug ?
[05:01] <arunkale> Dr_Willis: I restarted.. the administrator mode is working now :)(
[05:01] <main2x> thats ur imagination
[05:01] <_Dink> change it to 1 ?
[05:01] <arunkale> :)
[05:02] <_Dink> Its wierd though ... 2.6.17 works
[05:02] <arunkale> Dr_Willis: this guy earlier had the same problem, what he did was delete all the resolutions from xorg.conf except the one he wanted to use
[05:02] <_Dink> might be the display thing like main2x said i didnt check that
[05:03] <fildo> _Dink: ps -A | grep Xgl
[05:03] <fildo> output of that?
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> arunkale,  i normally set the one res i use.. which is the lcd's native res. :P
[05:04] <_Dink> interesting nada
[05:04] <main2x> if this is about Xgl, i just came in.. but them im 100% sure that its the :1 display bug
[05:04] <main2x> then
[05:04] <arunkale> i guess 1024x768 is not that bad :\
[05:04] <_Dink> fildo no output
[05:04] <main2x> _Dink, ur trying to get Xgl running?
[05:04] <_Dink> no
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> its HIGHLY possible theres some odd bugglet with the newer version.
[05:05] <_Dink> 3d acceleration with cedega
[05:05] <_Dink> ati driver 8.28.8
[05:05] <fildo> no xgl . no acceleration
[05:05] <_Dink> honestly any I tried 8.25, 8.27
[05:05] <NeoSaki> meh
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> with cededa - the versions of the different parts.. can be the  big factor.
[05:07] <_Dink> I dont think  you need xgl to pass cedega 3d test
[05:07] <fildo> dose it honestly run good with cd cedega ?
[05:07] <fildo> ive never seen it before
[05:07] <fildo> i recon you would
[05:07] <_Dink> it ran excellent with 2.6.17 kernel
[05:09] <_Dink> plus I didnt think ati and xgl were compatible yet
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> ive found it pays to be cautious with things like ati drivers. and cedega, and kernel versions :P
[05:09] <fildo> did u buy cedega ?
[05:09] <fildo> or compile from source
[05:09] <_Dink> bought
[05:10] <_Dink> yea thats it i bought it :P
[05:10] <_Dink> debian binary
[05:10] <fildo> its like $5bucks
[05:10] <_Dink> 5$ im saving up for a better non-ati card :p

[05:27] <halfbloodprince> okay
[05:27] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: it should go into the system tray
[05:27] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: click on it... and see if the res. you want are available
[05:28] <halfbloodprince> nope, not available
[05:28] <halfbloodprince> 1024x768 is the max
[05:28] <abattoir> ok, wait i'll see if the driver supports it
[05:31] <fildo> ur monitor not a 14" or anything halfbloodprince
[05:31] <halfbloodprince> 15", i think
[05:32] <fildo> thats probably max res
[05:32] <fildo> of monitor
[05:32] <alexicon> !wine > alexicon
[05:32] <fildo> but u said u had it running higher in windows ?
[05:33] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: i've not found much info...
[05:33] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: other than adding an opion to xorg.conf
[05:33] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: want to try that?
[05:34] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: i'm not sure about the side-effects/rammifications of putting that in... so i warn you...
[05:34] <abattoir> *option
[05:34] <fildo> do as u will :p
[05:34] <fildo> in otherwords
[05:34] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: so tell me if you want to try it
[05:35] <kOpter> Yello :)
[05:35] <halfbloodprince> what option?
[05:35] <kOpter> I've just installed a new soundcard.. how do I get it to work?!
[05:36] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: Option "NoUseBios" in xorg.conf
[05:37] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23228 <--- it should look like this
[05:39] <halfbloodprince> how exactly does this work?
[05:41] <halfbloodprince> abattoir?
[05:41] <octan> hi all
[05:41] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: i'm not sure, but it think it overrides the information that is provided by the bios on the resolutions
[05:41] <octan> how can i extract a rpm file in kubuntu?
[05:41] <octan> not install
[05:42] <octan> but decompress it
[05:42] <halfbloodprince> abattoir, no thanks :) i'll stick to this hehe
[05:42] <halfbloodprince> thanks a lot for your help though
[05:42] <halfbloodprince> i so love kubuntu
[05:42] <Alextremo> hello good mornig, how are alls ?
[05:42] <octan> does anyone know?
[05:42] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: i'm not sure, it might do nothing at all, and your res. might come up, but since i'm not sure i wont guarantee anything :)
[05:43] <abattoir> nothing->side-effects
[05:43] <halfbloodprince> ah
[05:44] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: can you recommend some good looking themes? i know i can look at kde-look, but was wondering if anyone has any favourites here
[05:45] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: my favourite widget style is baghira(because you can change its colour)...
[05:46] <fildo> octan: use alien to convert to .deb
[05:46] <octan> alien?
[05:46] <fildo> !alien
[05:46] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[05:46] <halfbloodprince> man, kubuntu is truly linux for human beings
[05:46] <halfbloodprince> i set up everything so fast!
[05:46] <fildo> very easy.
[05:46] <Tm_T> abattoir: I use tiblit, no other widget style offer same level of control, atleast I haven't seen any
[05:46] <fildo> i started off with redhat 9
[05:47] <fildo> a big difference
[05:47] <fildo> :p
[05:48] <octan> fildo, thank you
[05:48] <fildo> octan: nps
[05:48] <fildo> its what iam here for, nothing else to do :p

[05:56] <mrj> when i try the patch command it says : file to patch :
[05:56] <noob> hi folks .. I think I screwed up my x-server ... it doesn't start anymore ... I tried to get some xgl-stuff working .. but .. hrm :(
[05:56] <mrj> so

[05:56] <halfbloodprince> anyone know any good window themes?
[05:57] <halfbloodprince> Also, how do i separate the kmenu from the taskbar?
[05:57] <lecci> hi all
[05:57] <AWOSDev> halfbloodprince, I don't think you can separate those.
[05:57] <abattoir> Tm_T: hi :)
[05:57] <halfbloodprince> AWOSDev: really? I've seen screenshots where they're separated
[05:57] <abattoir> Tm_T: havent tried that one, maybe when i get bored of baghira :P
[05:58] <Tm_T> heh
[05:58] <Mortice> AWOSDev: sure you can. remove the taskbar from the panel the menu button is on, create a new panel, add the taskbar to that panel.
[05:58] <abattoir> halfbloodprince: what do you mean by 'separated' ?
[05:58] <lecci> i have a problem istalling freeradiu... when i make ./configure return this:configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH... Someone can help me?
[05:58] <Tm_T> abattoir: I leaved baghira because it became "heavy" to my eyes
[05:58] <halfbloodprince> abattoir: I want my minimised programs to go to a taskbar on top
[05:58] <halfbloodprince> OS X style
[05:58] <AWOSDev> Oh yeah, I also tried "dd count=b 512" like in the manual
[05:58] <fildo> abattoir: baghira is like osx
[05:58] <fildo> ?
[05:59] <AWOSDev> but it said "b 512: invalid number"
[05:59] <abattoir> Tm_T: heh
[05:59] <fildo> or just a theme manager
[05:59] <halfbloodprince> where can i see baghira
[05:59] <abattoir> fildo: yes... but more customizable
[05:59] <lecci> i have a problem istalling freeradiu... when i make ./configure return this:configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH... Someone can help me?
[05:59] <fildo> like compiz ?

[06:22] <Dr_Willis> theming under windows - is intintially CRippled by MS. so they can promote their look/feel/brand image.. APple does the same thing.
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> Intentially :)
[06:23] <halfbloodprince> opera is good?
[06:23] <halfbloodprince> for linux?
[06:24] <fildo> well i choose to use it over any other browser, thats just me i guess
[06:24] <halfbloodprince> btw, my clock is showing the wrong time
[06:24] <saki> Dr_Willis, thats actually the original reason I wanted linux, the customizability
[06:24] <fildo> firefox i like aswell . very similar
[06:24] <halfbloodprince> how do i fix the time
[06:24] <fildo> just opera handles mail n everything . n newer version supoprts widgets
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> halfbloodprince,  is it the clock.. or your system clock.  :P i think my system clock is set to utc.. but the clock applet is showing the localtime
[06:25] <Ayabara> is it possible to use a webcam with skype in kubuntu?
[06:25] <abattoir> Ayabara: skype for linux doesnt support video, yet
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> Ayabara,  i dont know if the linux sype cliekt has webcam support yet.
[06:25] <AWOSDev> halfbloodprince, I mean use the program called date.
[06:25] <halfbloodprince> how do i fix the time
[06:25] <abattoir> Ayabara: might be possible w/ wine... but dont know
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> halfbloodprince,  click on the clock.. adjust the time
[06:26] <Ayabara> abattoir, Dr_Willis: I suspected it might be so :-(
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> logical place to put a menu to adjust the time eh? :P
[06:26] <fildo> ;p
[06:26] <halfbloodprince> if i click on the clock, it shows me the calendar
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> try the MENUS on the clock
[06:27] <fildo> right click
[06:27] <halfbloodprince> ah okay
[06:27] <AWOSDev> Context-click it
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> or do we have to get even more basic :)
[06:27] <fildo> lol
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> move the mouse over... a little more... too far...
[06:27] <fildo> use index finger.
[06:27] <fildo> right button, surpress. release. surpress
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> click the right button...    wife: You got 3 buttons@! how do i know what one is the right one!!
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> activate the correct digit interface control.
[06:28] <fildo> mate, in that case, lick the middle button
[06:28] <fildo> n watch the other 2 explode
[06:28] <BluesKaj> I DL'd and  did the tar xvjf filename command  , but the prog doesn't show up in the kicker ...what am I doing wrong ?
[06:28] <halfbloodprince> yeah, done now
[06:28] <AWOSDev> Yeah, the 'right' button...that's why I *always* say context-click (but then nobody knows what context-click is if they weren't around in Windows 3.1/95 days)
[06:28] <Ayabara> are there other chat programs for linux and windows that support video? I want to call a friend using windows
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> thats the problem with spoon-feeding people (and using game guides) ya get trained to not even try to think or explore. :)
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> call = voice :P
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> like seeing their face will promote better communications.
[06:29] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, ?
[06:29] <AWOSDev> Unless you mean call with a videophone.  :P
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> Unless its the grandparents.. who want to see the kids...
[06:29] <BluesKaj> I DL'd and  did the tar xvjf filename command  , but the prog doesn't show up in the kicker ...what am I doing wrong ?

[06:34] <halfbloodprince> 'KDE Wallet: A wallet is open'
[06:34] <abattoir> BluesKaj: and its glade... you'd need to install python-gtk and the python-glade stuff.. adept should help you out w/ the correct names
[06:35] <BluesKaj> ok , sorry to bother you, i should have checked there first
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> I would gues syou got a kdewallet session open allready halfbloodprince
[06:35] <LouKall> grr! i need help unrar'ing a file
[06:35] <halfbloodprince> how did that happen
[06:36] <frojnd> It doesn't wanna to extracked...

[06:36] <Dr_Willis> halfbloodprince,  its your system.. you tell us. :P
[06:36] <NeoSaki> Is there a way to have Wallet auto sign in without password input?
[06:36] <LouKall> i am supposed to have them installed.
[06:36] <frojnd> q@kubuntu:~$ unace x -y Summoning-LetMortalHeroesSingYourFame.ace

[06:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kwallet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:36] <AWOSDev> frojnd, I meant is the *file* capitialised like that.
[06:36] <frojnd> ja
[06:36] <frojnd> I copy/paste it
[06:36] <abattoir> LouKall: if you have it installed, then 'unrar x file.rar' or even ark can handle it(unless it has a password)
[06:36] <AWOSDev> from ls?
[06:36] <halfbloodprince> !kde wallet
[06:36] <willnapier> Dr_Willis: in the fstab it says 'auto' for the type, when it is actually fat16. should I change the entry from auto to vfat?

[06:36] <frojnd> no..

[06:37] <LouKall> abbattoir: i have it installed, but i cant unrar anything in terminal.
[06:37] <frojnd> grom konqueror..
[06:37] <AWOSDev> Oh, okay.
[06:37] <LouKall> abbattoir: it does have a pass on it.
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> willnapier,  vfat is not fat16.. 'fat' i think is.. but vfat may work also.
[06:37] <abattoir> LouKall: ok, then 'unrar x file.rar' it is
[06:37] <LouKall> abbattoir: i dont know how to get the pass either.
[06:37] <frojnd> but, still doesn't work :D
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> willnapier,  normally ive NEVER seen auto work for the fat** filesystems
[06:37] <frojnd> :S*
[06:37] <abattoir> LouKall: well, if you dont know the pass, you cant extract it :P
[06:37] <LouKall> abbattoir: it just says command not found when i try unrar
[06:37] <willnapier> Dr_Willis: thanks that could be it I'll change fstab
[06:37] <LouKall> well that was a waste of a download.
[06:37] <abattoir> LouKall: unless you use some brute-force methods which take ages
[06:38] <abattoir> LouKall: then you dont have unrar installed
[06:38] <LouKall> abbattoir: what do you suggest?
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[06:38] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:38] <LouKall> i swear it.
[06:38] <abattoir> LouKall: 'sudo apt-get install unrar' if you have universe
[06:38] <LouKall> k
[06:38] <abattoir> LouKall: well, try finding the password
[06:38] <abattoir> LouKall: if you cant, then i guess you just delete the file
[06:38] <LouKall> plau/
[06:38] <LouKall> opps.
[06:38] <LouKall> okay.
[06:39] <LouKall> yay unrar works now.
[06:39] <abattoir> LouKall: did you put the password?
[06:39] <abattoir> LouKall: there might be a comment which might indicate the p/d if someone else did it(or atleast i used to do that)
[06:40] <LouKall> abbattoir: thats what i figured they would do. im searching. cannot find anything.

[06:41] <LouKall> abattoir: how do i do the file name for... Dead To Fall - The Phoenix Throne.part01.rar

[06:44] <ketsugi> After adding a filetype handler, I've been getting this error from some KDE apps (Konqueror, Kate, Kmail and Kpdf so far): "Could not find mime type: application/octet-stream"
[06:44] <LouKall> abattoir: this sucks. hah.
[06:44] <frojnd> NeoSaki I don't understand this line: sudo mv /location/of/downloaded/unace /usr/bin/unace
[06:44] <abattoir> ketsugi: which one did you add? and when does this occur(or what are you trying to open)?
[06:45] <AWOSDev> The following NEW packages will be installed: hexedit

[06:45] <Dr_Willis> AWOSDev,  :P and what did you say earlier about ubuntu sucking?> :P lol.
[06:45] <AWOSDev> I didnt?!
[06:45] <AWOSDev> All I said was it isn't the best Linux, but alot easier to install and use than Debian.
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> AWOSDev I'm on Ubuntu, not real Debian   --> :) ok you sort of slammed ubuntu .
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> lol
[06:46] <ketsugi> abattoir: I added a handler for x-comic (.cbr and .cbz; I made up the mimetype myself)
[06:46] <halfbloodprince> I'm SOOO loving Kubuntu!
[06:46] <ketsugi> and it happens whenever I /open/ kpdf or kmail or konqueror
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> apt-get  should be identical to debian's ussage. :P
[06:46] <halfbloodprince> hey, ketsugi :)
[06:46] <AWOSDev> :P
[06:46] <ketsugi> hbp: yes yes, I'm going to sleep soon ;p
[06:46] <gavin> Am new to Linux (Ubuntu6.06)  Any help on Firefox with problem add plugin for Macromedia player?
[06:46] <halfbloodprince> ketsugi: i'm using kubuntu right now
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> I cant see much reason to use debian really.  over ubuntu..  at least nothing that my needs demand.
[06:47] <ketsugi> Good for you :)
[06:47] <NeoSaki> frojnd: where did you see that line at?
[06:47] <AWOSDev> gavin, just click on the 'Install Missing Plugins' bar at the top of the page.
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> im sure theres some off the wall reasons. :P heh heh
[06:47] <AWOSDev> gavin, at least that's what *I* did :)

[06:48] <frojnd> on the right u have tree
[06:48] <abattoir> ketsugi: unless you added kmail/kpdf as apps for that mimetype
[06:48] <halfbloodprince> ketsugi: you mean you came up with an application to read comic files?
[06:48] <halfbloodprince> wow
[06:48] <halfbloodprince> i could use that

[06:49] <abattoir> ketsugi: hmm..i'm not sure.. i could try replicating what you did... but i'm currently compiling something :P

[06:51] <ketsugi> abattoir: and Konqueror, and Kate, and, I suspect, just about any KDE application
[06:51] <AWOSDev> I just wrote a new MBR to my 2nd disk (that's why I needed dd 512bytes and hexedit)
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> or vi whateverfile and look at the  header/first line.
[06:52] <AWOSDev> Now let's hope I didn't kill it!
[06:52] <abattoir> ketsugi: ok, try deleting it... do the errors go away?

[06:52] <Dr_Willis> AWOSDev,  why did you need to do that? :P
[06:52] <abattoir> ketsugi: btw, i'd expect the app to add its own mimetype...
[06:52] <AWOSDev> Dr_Willis, I made my XP drive dynamic, and I just converted it back to basic.
[06:52] <AWOSDev> change one byte in the MBR and tada
[06:52] <ketsugi> yeah it didn't
[06:53] <ketsugi> because cbz and cbr are just renamed zip and rar files, I suppose
[06:53] <abattoir> ketsugi: you might need to restart KDE
[06:53] <ketsugi> oh?
[06:53] <abattoir> ketsugi: aah, you mean for the app
[06:53] <abattoir> ketsugi: i thought you said the errors didnt go away
[06:53] <ketsugi> Konqueror still gives me the error after removing the mimetype

[06:54] <frojnd> it wont happened nothing..
[06:54] <AWOSDev> Do I need to reboot to make the MBR change go in to effect?
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> frojnd,  to look at it..
[06:54] <frojnd> ok..

[06:59] <Vanique> i'mm looking for some master who can deal with /bin/sh: line 1: 7037 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
[06:59] <AWOSDev> Dr_Willis, it was worth going through all that.
[07:00] <AWOSDev> NAMERICA1:/media/hdb2$ ls
[07:00] <AWOSDev> DOS Drive (D)  Recycled         System Volume Information
[07:00] <AWOSDev> Yay!
[07:00] <AWOSDev> It actually read the Dynamic Disk!
[07:00] <Vanique> it shows always when i want to install Wine ro Amarok and it causes that that programs dont work
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> AWOSDev,  ive never even heard of a 'dynamic disk' befor. :P
[07:01] <AWOSDev> Dr_Willis, it's a freaky Microsoft thing.
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> Freeky Deeky!
[07:01] <AWOSDev> Dr_Willis, it basically makes a software RAID.  But I never got around to doing that.  So here is 5GB of data that I can't access on Linux (which is now all I have on here)
[07:02] <visik7> anyone with an asus V6 laptop ?
[07:02] <AWOSDev> :P
[07:02] <NeoSaki> ooo
[07:02] <NeoSaki> so entertaining to see a windows app in linux
[07:02] <AWOSDev> It's even more entertaining when it works :P
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> wine winrar.exe
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> works :)
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> and if you try 'wine mirc.exe' your computer will explode.
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> its in the mIRC eula.
[07:03] <draik> Dr_Willis, I have most of my setup back to the way I had it before
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> :)
[07:04] <draik> Thank you for your help Dr_Willis
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> after ALL that time. :P
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> lol
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> draik,  look up 'mondo/mindi' for a backup/restore system-tools :P
[07:05] <draik> will  do
[07:05] <draik> thank you
[07:05] <AWOSDev> That's funny, I found a folder called "Honkin huge files from laptop" the only content: a Virtual Machine from VMware.  Size: ~3GB :P
[07:06] <lecci> help me: Where i can istall the cc package?
[07:06] <lecci> help me: How i can istall the cc package?

[07:07] <noob> rehi. hmm does anyone know the command to 'reconfigure' the xserver? (e.g. gfx-card, display, etc)
[07:07] <draik> installed, thank you Dr_Willis
[07:07] <abattoir> noob: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[07:08] <lecci> impossible find build-essentials...
[07:08] <noob> thank you abattoir :)
[07:08] <buz> sorry, it's build-essential - informational list of build-essential packages
[07:08] <draik> lecci, without the s
[07:08] <buz> no s at the end

[07:08] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> :P
[07:08] <AWOSDev> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> it helps to spell things right. :P and learn to use 'apt-cache search'
[07:09] <lecci> impossible find build-essential...
[07:09] <abattoir> ketsugi: in Kcontrol/systemsettings->Kde components->File associations... could you check if everything looks right?
[07:09] <AWOSDev> The whole audience gasps as lecci's Kubuntu cannot find build-essential
[07:11] <AWOSDev> lecci, what kind of Kubuntu are you running?  6.06 LTS Dapper right?
[07:11] <buz> AWOSDev: build-essential has been there since forever
[07:11] <draik> What is the command to see everything that has been installed through apt?
[07:11] <AWOSDev> Okay thanks buz
[07:11] <draik> I forgot the command
[07:11] <buz> dpkg --list
[07:11] <AWOSDev> draik, good question I've been looking for that too
[07:11] <buz> then maybe some filtering
[07:11] <draik> Thank you buz
[07:12] <AWOSDev> Oooh look at *all* the installs I've done :P
[07:12] <lecci> 6.06 yes
[07:12] <AWOSDev> yeah, I usually use grep
[07:12] <abattoir> ketsugi: if everything there looks to be in order, then /usr/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop might be corrupted
[07:12] <buz> well it's actually also the ones that kubuntu did itself ;)
[07:12] <AWOSDev> dpkg --list | grep whatever
[07:12] <abattoir> ketsugi: its a part of kdelibs-data
[07:12] <AWOSDev> Yeah I know that buz
[07:13] <AWOSDev> I'm trying to figure out why I have ATI, Cyrix, NVIDIA etc... X servers installed
[07:13] <buz> (it's kinda obvious that you didnt install libc yourself after all ;)
[07:13] <AWOSDev> I just have a simple Intel i810-DC100
[07:13] <buz> mhh the open source ones are all installed by default
[07:13] <leileilol> weird
[07:13] <buz> which is handy if you switch a drive from one machine to another
[07:13] <AWOSDev> Yeah I guess
[07:13] <leileilol> i tried kqemu with qemu, and win95/98 gives protection errors and no dos games start :S
[07:14] <draik> I just wanted that list so that I can compare it to another one (previous install)
[07:14] <buz> you might have to run dpkg-reconfigure but other than it runs
[07:14] <draik> now I can just      diff file1 file2
[07:14] <AWOSDev> Even VMware display driver :P
[07:14] <DexterF> 'evening
[07:15] <noob> re
[07:15] <AWOSDev> Good evening DexterF

[07:15] <AWOSDev> Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
