[07:04] <dwidmann> It took me the whole of 20 seconds to add a second monitor on, and configure it to use the proper 1680x1050 res
[07:04] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, sorry, im kinda old school :) nvidia-settings should work
[07:05] <kalorin> dwidmann: what'd you get? I'm thinking about getting a pair of 20-22" LCD's
[07:05] <jordo23> nvidia settings says it's an E770....what now?
[07:05] <dwidmann> hitmanWilly: Yes, I did break down and get the monitor, it got here today ... only thing that ticked me off is that it didn't even come with a DVI cable (my card doesn't support VGA)
[07:05] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: It says that in xorg.conf too.....but still no resolutions...
[07:05] <ubuntu> can someone tell me how to switch the os from using 1 sound card to another (2 installed)
[07:05] <dwidmann> jordo23: there should be a resolution and refresh rate option in X Server Display Configuration
[07:06] <hitmanWilly> dwidmann, sorry, forgot to warn you :)
[07:06] <dwidmann> kalorin: I got a Viewsonic Q22FB
[07:06] <jordo23> Booyah!   Got it....works now....nvidia-settings works.....thanks guys...
[07:06] <kalorin> nice
[07:06] <dwidmann> hitmanWilly: so then I had to make the trip to Bestbuy and get the DVI cable for $20, which hurt
[07:07] <dwidmann> kalorin: makes my samsung syncmaster 930bf (19" 5:4) look tiny
[07:07] <bulwynkl> thanks hitmanwilly -error message at  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17351/
[07:07] <dwidmann> jordo23: no problem
[07:07] <Ayabara> I'm trying to connect to work with Cisco VPN. I have installed it (seemingly without problems), but when I try to connect to the profile it gives up for no good reason. the dump is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17350/ . Do I need to install/configure something in feisty for vpn to work?
[07:08] <jordo23> How do you change the clock back to 12 hour mode...I always forget this.. :)
[07:08] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, nvidia-settings is an awesome tool, tho, like i said, im old school :)
[07:08] <apus> hitmanWilly: how do I tell progrmas like amarok what sound card to use
[07:08] <apus> aka switch default audio device
[07:09] <pplant> anyone else here having problems with audio in (k)ubuntu?
[07:09] <hitmanWilly> apus, that i don't know...
[07:09] <dwidmann> apus, should be in its sound configuration section, but it'll be a pain
[07:09] <chemicalvamp> pplant like ALL audio or just in media
[07:09] <apus> dwidmann: explain?
[07:10] <apus> both cards show up in kmix
[07:10] <dwidmann> You'll probalby have to write one of those more complicated asound.rc files
[07:10] <sdlnxgk> everything working great here with Feisty :)
[07:10] <sdlnxgk> just the damn kicker panel is freaking out when trying to run certain applets
[07:10] <apus> why? its just using the wrong one, the onboard
[07:10] <pplant> chemical, all audio. in ubuntu AND kubuntu. it cuts out, especially when beryl is running.
[07:10] <dwidmann> The workings of which confuse me, better off asking about asoundrc in #alsa, or maybe #amarok if you're lucky
[07:10] <sdlnxgk> I can't have  separate desktops :(
[07:11] <sdlnxgk> I just have  standard settings and sound works great out of the box
[07:11] <sdlnxgk> ok time to get ready for work
[07:11] <sdlnxgk> hope you get sound working
[07:11] <jordo23> !codec

[07:11] <unix_infidel> is it possible to do a command line install from the kubuntu live cd?
[07:11] <wolferine> scanners, whose good with a scanner setup?
[07:11] <chemicalvamp> pplant is it cuz of the cpu load in xgl?
[07:12] <pplant> sigh. it's not a multimedia issue. it's ALL audio. I am wondering if it might be a kernel issue
[07:12] <wolferine> i have xsane setup already
[07:12] <wolferine> just a matter of setting it up for the app
[07:12] <pplant> it seems to happen mostly on my Toshiba A105 laptop, core duo w/ GMA945
[07:13] <dwidmann> unix_infidel: I don't think so
[07:13] <dwidmann> unix_infidel: if you want a versatile disk, look into the dvd, it can do, well, both
[07:13] <chemicalvamp> pplant xgl has a tendancy of suckin up the cpu
[07:13] <unix_infidel> dwidmann: well, as can the alternate cd
[07:14] <pplant> yes but shouldnt it prioritize audio?
[07:14] <unix_infidel> it'd be awesome if i had the functionality of a live cd, a command line installer.
[07:14] <chemicalvamp> pplant no
[07:14] <unix_infidel> so if i needed a live cd, i'd have one and since i like a command line install so i can custom build.
[07:14] <dwidmann> unix_infidel: yes, but the alternate isn't flexible ... the dvd can do the text mode, live, oem, etc
[07:14] <pplant> this is insidious! And they broke it for feisty! my audio was fine under dapper and edgy
[07:14] <chemicalvamp> pplant i dont think sound is at the top of the list of priorities
[07:14] <unix_infidel> dwidmann: i dont have a dvdburner.
[07:14] <unix_infidel> might ask shipit for one.
[07:15] <chemicalvamp> pplant y wireless worked in edgy too ;)
[07:15] <dwidmann> unix_infidel: and I don't have bandwidth, so I ordered a copy, plenty of sites out there that offer
[07:15] <dwidmann> or you could have someone else ship you one, or wait forever and a day for shipit to send you one
[07:15] <unix_infidel> dwidmann: i'm in no hurry.
[07:16] <pplant> feisty is a pig too... it's the first distro which will not run on my Dell P2/466
[07:16] <unix_infidel> i've already got the alternate cd iso.
[07:16] <chemicalvamp> wow that reminds me, i still havent gotten my shipit cd, oreder it a year ago

[07:18] <Skuller> does kubun support sata drives with no manual stuff?
[07:19] <Skuller> i mean like i dont want to go about manually mounting stuff
[07:19] <sickname> #openbsd
[07:19] <dwidmann> Skuller: yes
[07:20] <dwidmann> Skuller: in fact, all of my drives (less my dvd drives) are SATA
[07:20] <Skuller> dwidmann: glad to know, thanks
[07:20] <inteliwasp> how can i cinvert a rpm pakage to deb?

[07:21] <dwidmann> there we gio
[07:21] <dwidmann> stupid typos
[07:21] <inteliwasp> is that on edgy?
[07:22] <dwidmann> should be on everything
[07:22] <inteliwasp> it is, D/Ling
[07:22] <inteliwasp> many thanks
[07:22] <wolferine> where is my brand_name.conf to setup for my scanner?
[07:22] <wolferine> in xsane
[07:24] <iric> can someone help me enable my spdif
[07:27] <dwidmann> Hmm, I wonder if there's any way to alter kaffeine's menu bar timeout in full screen
[07:31] <wolferine> once I setup my .conf for my driver, I need to set my permissions for my scanner, where do I set it, so all users can utilize it?
[07:35] <guaqua> as ironic as it is, apport is the only really badly crashing application on my ubuntu box
[07:35] <guaqua> anyone else running into the same problem?
[07:35] <guaqua> for some reason it sometimes goes berzerk and launches maybe 8 instances that i can see in top
[07:35] <guaqua> takes ~5 minutes for me to be able to get any kind of response from the system after that point
[07:36] <guaqua> and the computer is thrashing for the whole time
[07:46] <hitmanWilly> well, that was interesting...someone cracked my wifi...
[07:46] <flaccid> what encryption did you use
[07:47] <jager> nice one
[07:47] <hitmanWilly> it was wpa, but its now set up for 128 bit wep with mac filtering:) good luck on that one
[07:47] <zblach> hi. quick quesiton. i've set KNetworkManager in manual mode. how can I get it back to automatic?
[07:47] <Lynoure> hitmanWilly: how long passphrase?
[07:48] <flaccid> hitmanWilly: WEP is easily crackable now. WPA is not.
[07:48] <flaccid> people can crack your 128bit WEP pretty easy
[07:48] <hitmanWilly> hmmm, alright, back to wpa then with a better passphrase...
[07:49] <hitmanWilly> still leave the mac filtering on, tho
[07:49] <jon_> How do I tell dpkg not to run the pre and post install scripts? I have a package that the script is failing and I don't need it.
[07:49] <Lynoure> hitmanWilly: maximum lenght, random and changed regularly is not as much work as people think...
[07:49] <StepNjump> Has anyone Has anyone tried the new Kubuntu 7 yet?
[07:49] <zblach> StepNjump: most of us
[07:49] <dwidmann> StepNjump: lots of people :)
[07:50] <flaccid> yes
[07:50] <jon_> Step, as soon as I can get k3d uninstalled I will. lol
[07:50] <zblach> might have well asked 'does anyone here use linux?'
[07:50] <StepNjump> Is it worth upgrading from 6?
[07:50] <dwidmann> 6.10 or 6.06?
[07:50] <StepNjump> I just recently installed 6.06
[07:50] <StepNjump> 3 days ago
[07:50] <dwidmann> what's your setup?
[07:51] <StepNjump> i386
[07:51] <Lynoure> StepNjump: depends on what you use your 6.06 for.
[07:51] <jon_> I'm trying to uninstall k3d and I'm getting post install script errors when trying to uninstall it.
[07:51] <hitmanWilly> Lynoure, i know...laziness...i think it was the new neighbors...passphrase now max length with no hint of readability
[07:51] <StepNjump> desktop apps
[07:51] <StepNjump> only
[07:51] <StepNjump> FORMAT
[07:51] <StepNjump> lol
[07:51] <jon_> Anyone know how to make dpgk skip the scripts?
[07:51] <dwidmann> StepNjump: upgrading could be helpful
[07:51] <StepNjump> I'm downloading 7 now. I'll give it a shot tomorrow
[07:51] <hitmanWilly> wifi isnt exactly my strong suit...
[07:52] <StepNjump> dwid, I'm too green for that
[07:52] <StepNjump> Can't get apt-get to work
[07:52] <StepNjump> or anything else...
[07:52] <StepNjump> I must be getting too old
[07:52] <StepNjump> :(
[07:52] <dwidmann> jon: try using --force, maybe
[07:53] <StepNjump> I used to know what I was doing back in the 386 days
[07:53] <hitmanWilly> if it happens agin im just going to disable wireless altogether and hard connect everything
[07:53] <Lynoure> StepNjump: then while the new one has lots of cute nice things, there is not must-haves. Except maybe Basket....
[07:53] <StepNjump> hitman, did you know that they are getting wireless equipments out of schools in the UK
[07:53] <Lynoure> StepNjump: (my opinion only, of course)
[07:54] <StepNjump> Like I always said, why would you stand next to a mini microwave oven 24/7/365?
[07:54] <Lynoure> StepNjump: sure, it's newer and nicer, but not necessarily worth doing for. So only upgrade if you feel like it. :)
[07:54] <flaccid> StepNjump: some humans are stupid
[07:54] <StepNjump> They'll find out in many years that wireless was a major cause for cancer
[07:54] <StepNjump> Hardwire is GOOD
[07:54] <hitmanWilly> StepNjump, you are probably right, i just like being able to cart my laptop around anywhere in the house :)
[07:54] <StepNjump> Yep but one of these days you might pay the price
[07:55] <StepNjump> Think about it, why is prostate cancer so high today
[07:55] <StepNjump> Where does your laptop go?
[07:55] <StepNjump> On your lap....
[07:55] <StepNjump> I rest my case
[07:55] <StepNjump> Bad, bad bad....
[07:55] <jon_> dwid - --force requires a modifier and there doesn't seem to be a no script one
[07:55] <wolferine> need a hand with setting up my scanner
[07:56] <flaccid> um this is #kubuntu support channel, lets not talk about wireless cancer
[07:56] <StepNjump> I'm a ham guys. I know the potential risks of radio frequencies, especially at that gigahertz level... Really not good for u
[07:56] <jon_> I don't like wireless because its unreliable and slow
[07:56] <jon_> Wolferine, do you have sane installed?
[07:57] <StepNjump> Every house should be built with Cat 5 in the walls ready to go
[07:57] <wolferine> jon_, yes
[07:57] <hitmanWilly> StepNjump, im with you on that :)
[07:57] <jon_> Have you opened up xsane?
[07:57] <wolferine> jon_, i have edited my /etc/sane.d/epson.conf as well
[07:57] <Lynoure> StepNjump: Cat 6 at least, nowadays =)
[07:57] <dwidmann> StepNjump: or better yet, cat6
[07:57] <StepNjump> Well yeah! Dwid..
[07:58] <jon_> Hmmmm.... Is it listed as supported by sane?
[07:58] <flaccid> StepNjump: i don't think you know what you are talking about anyway. frequency will not increase damage, gain will
[07:58] <Lynoure> It's really really annoying to replace in wall cabling.
[07:58] <flaccid> !off-topic
[07:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:58] <wolferine> jon_, I had it working before, but I just reformatted/updated to Fiesty

[07:58] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[07:58] <StepNjump> Flaccid, yes frequency does make a difference
[07:59] <wolferine> jon_, so I am working on xsane viewing it
[07:59] <flaccid> StepNjump: not by itself no. but please look at the topic of this channel.
[07:59] <StepNjump> 100 watts at 1 MHz, the maximum exposure is at about 2 feet
[07:59] <jon_> Wolf, ah I had the same thing happen to my webcam after upgrading to Dapper.
[07:59] <wolferine> jon_, your cam?
[08:00] <StepNjump> 100 watts at 1000 MHz (1GHz), the maximum exposure could be at a minimum distance of 50 feet or more
[08:00] <wolferine> was it viewed by xsane?
[08:00] <wolferine> jon_, seems i am just having permission issues
[08:00] <jon_> No, but the driver stopped working.
[08:00] <wolferine> sudo scanimage -d epson --format pnm > outfile.pnm
[08:00] <wolferine> that just worked
[08:01] <wolferine> so how can I find the location of the device?
[08:01] <StepNjump> For instance, I can transmit in my car on the 80 mtr band (3 MHz) with my antenna at 3 feet away from me 50 watts, however on the 40 Mtr band (7 MHz) it drops at 30 watts, and only 20 watts on 20 metres
[08:01] <flaccid> its not that simple StepNjump. and like i said not frequency alone 1mW at 100,000GHz will do nothing.
[08:01] <flaccid> !offtopic
[08:01] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[08:01] <flaccid> stop talking about radio freq
[08:01] <jon_> wolf, just a sec.
[08:01] <StepNjump> If you want to be able to transmit at the same power in order to comply with the Maximum human exposure levels, you want to increase the distance to the antenna
[08:01] <wolferine> jon_, k, thanks
[08:02] <StepNjump> Nothing???
[08:02] <StepNjump> Are you sure?
[08:02] <flaccid> yes i'm sure
[08:02] <flaccid> now stfu
[08:02] <Lynoure> StepNjump: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that
[08:02] <zblach> speaking of which, anyone have any success with KNetworkManager?
[08:03] <jon_> Wolf, do you have a /dev/scanner?
[08:03] <StepNjump> I'd rather have a transmitter in the AM broadcast band next to my pillow at night tuned to 1410 AM transmitting 1 watt than to have a 1mW transmitter in the GHz band (2.4 to be exact) transmitting on my lap....
[08:03] <wolferine> nope
[08:03] <wolferine> nor do I have /dev/epson
[08:03] <StepNjump> Ok sorry guys I will stop the thread
[08:03] <StepNjump> Sorry Lynoure.
[08:03] <MajorApus> apparently linux hates me
[08:04] <dwidmann> MajorApus: how's that?
[08:04] <MajorApus> I cant boot because "sbc3 has been mounted 23 timse without being checked, force check"
[08:04] <Lynoure> StepNjump: I do not mind it as such, interesting, but this is the support channel :)
[08:04] <wolferine> MajorApus, its an OS, it cannot hate anyone...
[08:04] <wolferine> ... or can it??!
[08:04] <MajorApus> so it starts disk check, and it will never get past 51.7% so it never boots
[08:04] <StepNjump> Sure Lynoure, no problem. I'm new to Linux. I didn't know
[08:04] <StepNjump> I'm learning....
[08:04] <dwidmann> MajorApus: maybe it found a problem?
[08:04] <MajorApus> there is nothing wrong with the disk, I dont want it to be checked
[08:04] <wolferine> MajorApus, burn it again
[08:04] <MajorApus> no there is no problem
[08:04] <MajorApus> burn it?
[08:04] <StepNjump> You guys are all great here
[08:04] <MajorApus> this is a hard drive
[08:04] <hitmanWilly> MajorApus, just wait a minute, its probably fixing hdd errors
[08:05] <wolferine> MajorApus, new install?
[08:05] <MajorApus> a data hard drive
[08:05] <zblach> i've accidentally set KNetworkManager into manual, how can I get it back to auto ;( ?
[08:05] <MajorApus> hitmanwilly: no, I dont want it to mess with the hdd
[08:05] <jon_> Major, ext3 filesystems are automatically checked for problems with a full scan after 23 reboots.
[08:05] <MajorApus> it freezes at 51.7% its not fixing anything
[08:05] <MajorApus> jon_ its fat32
[08:05] <dwidmann> :o
[08:05] <hitmanWilly> MajorApus, it takes a while sometimes...
[08:06] <dwidmann> pull it up in a live cd
[08:06] <jon_> Scan it from a windows boot disk then
[08:06] <dwidmann> mount your root partition on the livecd
[08:06] <Lynoure> StepNjump: nice that you decided to try it. If you really installed Linux for the first time 3 days ago, I'd recommend using that version for a while. I think the next version is a Long Term Support version again (6 months from now), so then you'd have a simple upgrade to that.
[08:06] <wolferine> jon_, find anything?
[08:06] <MajorApus> dwidmann what will that help?
[08:06] <dwidmann> edit the /etc/fstab in your root partition that you j ust mounted, on the line associated with the fat partition, change the 2 numbers at the end of the line to "0 0"
[08:07] <MajorApus> dwidmann thats the number of boots?
[08:07] <jon_> Wolf, here's a page http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-find-scanner.1.html
[08:07] <jordo23> Does anyone have a link to a howto to install the multimedia codec pack (XVid, DiVX, etc)
[08:07] <MajorApus> so every 23 reboots I have to do this? its not even ext3 its fat32, the drive is fine, its not even written to its read only, I just want to skip the "forced" check
[08:07] <ssaa> hello i need some help please. No sound is coming out my laptop speakers but i can hear everything through the headphone out
[08:07] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:07] <ssaa> what can I do?
[08:07] <jon_> jordo, I just unrestricted all repositories in /etc/sources.list
[08:08] <wolferine> yep, it locates it, the sane-find-scanner  I mean
[08:08] <wolferine> but I still cannot setup permissions
[08:08] <wolferine> sane-find-scanner -v
[08:08] <wolferine> ops
[08:09] <wolferine> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x082b) at libusb:001:006
[08:09] <StepNjump> Ok thanks Lynoure
[08:09] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: Is a new process all being together like that?
[08:09] <wolferine> thats my scanner
[08:09] <wolferine> but its not in /dev
[08:09] <StepNjump> It's because I'm really trying to find a quick fix to my problem
[08:09] <tolonuga> hi. I updated to feisty, and my syslog/console was spammed with device-mapper: table: 254:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed. I'm using xen, so it might be related to that. (but stock ubuntu xenpackages). known issue?
[08:09] <StepNjump> I want to be able to install various apps like WINE, FIREFOX, etc...
[08:09] <Tm_T> Lynoure: well next LTS is 8.04 or later
[08:09] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, its a metapackage that depends on the latest versions of all those proprietary codecs
[08:09] <StepNjump> and whatever I try, it doesn't work
[08:09] <MajorApus> what if I think that needing a live cd just to edit something is bullshit
[08:10] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: Yeah....but was that metapackage in Edgy's repos? Or new to feisty?
[08:10] <wolferine> !language MajorApus
[08:10] <MajorApus> there isn't even a way to tell it to skip it, thats just silly
[08:10] <wolferine> !language | MajorApus
[08:10] <ubotu> MajorApus: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:10] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: Thanks for the nvidia help before too...
[08:10] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, i THINK it was in edgy's, can't remember off the top of my head
[08:10] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, np
[08:11] <StepNjump> Linoure: for instance, when I try the ADD/REMOVE programs, everything is grayed out...
[08:11] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: I remember it being a longer process in Edgy...
[08:11] <StepNjump> Well, everything that doesn't have a checkmark next to it that is....
[08:11] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, it might have been, its been awhile since i ran 6.10
[08:12] <flowingfire> Hi.... I have a new problem for all you awesome problem-solvers out there.....
[08:12] <StepNjump> Linoure: tried to update the ADEPT package manager and that doesn't work either....
[08:12] <flowingfire> I used adept to install Java, but the install failed
[08:12] <jon_> wolf, do you have a /dev/usb/scanner link?
[08:12] <SJrX> When Adept is done it just says "Done" and has a show details button. If I try to exit it says I have uncommited changes. What do I do?
[08:12] <dwidmann> Really funny thing was, I just told MajorApus how to make it skipt it, though that would have made it skip it all the time ...
[08:12] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, i was using the feisty beta for quite a while before it was released
[08:12] <flowingfire> now I can't get into adept at all even after restart
[08:12] <StepNjump> Works well with what's already in here but if I want to add more add-ons from the web, I'm kinda stuck
[08:12] <flowingfire> Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept adpplication or apt-get or aptitude).  Please close the other application before using this one.
[08:12] <wolferine> where is libusb located?
[08:12] <wolferine> so I can change the permissions?
[08:13] <zblach> how can I set knetworkmanager back into automatic? it no longer lists any wireless networks, and relies upon me to set them manually.
[08:13] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: For some reason Kubuntu didn't see my other hd....how do I install it?
[08:13] <dwidmann> z
[08:13] <dwidmann> "locate libusb"
[08:13] <hitmanWilly> !fstab | jordo23
[08:13] <ubotu> jordo23: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[08:14] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, the tutorial should help you with that
[08:14] <flowingfire> Why would adept stop functioning altogether after it failed to install Java?  That doesn't make any sense... .but I'd like help getting adept working again if anybody is willing
[08:14] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: Does Kubuntu still mount to /media by default?
[08:14] <dwidmann> jordo23: yes
[08:14] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, yes, but hdds aren't usually included there
[08:15] <dwidmann> hitmanWilly: aren't they?
[08:15] <hitmanWilly> dwidmann, well, external ones are
[08:15] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: What do I edit to mount it? I don't think the OS sees it?
[08:16] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: I know fstab....but what to enter?
[08:16] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, sudo fdisk -l to list what drives the system sees
[08:16] <dwidmann> hitmanWilly: I guess I see your point ..... they're more likely to be / /home /boot &c
[08:17] <hitmanWilly> dwidmann, my second one goes on /bulk :)
[08:17] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: It sees sdb1.....that's the one I need mounted....
[08:18] <StepNjump> Does anyone know if Quicken works well under WINE?
[08:18] <underdog5004> StepNjump, I don't think it does, cause it relies on Windows API's...I think
[08:18] <underdog5004> there's an alternative, although I can't remember the name...
[08:18] <dwidmann> hitmanWilly: my third and fourth are lvm'd with a partition mounted at /media/storage: )
[08:18] <flowingfire> I tried to install java runtime and the mozilla web java integrator and it broke my whole system.  Adept doesn't work at all anymore, and beryl is only half functioning.  I don't get what went wrong here.
[08:18] <StepNjump> mmm thought so. I guess I will have to transfer my data to the GNU equivalent of Quicken eh?
[08:19] <hitmanWilly> jordo23, fstab is pretty similar to the mount cmd with a few extra options, that tutorial link from ubotu should help with the syntax
[08:19] <StepNjump> I really want to drop WinXP all together
[08:19] <underdog5004> yeah...not sure if it'll work...
[08:19] <wolferine> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x082b) at libusb:001:006
[08:19] <wolferine> how do I change the permissions for this device?
[08:19] <dwidmann> **second and third, seems my brain shifted a hair to the right
[08:19] <underdog5004> for my boss, quickbooks is the only thing holding him back from linux altogether
[08:19] <wolferine> works fine as sudo....
[08:19] <StepNjump> Yep underdog
[08:19] <dwidmann> underdog5004: http://appdb.winehq.org
[08:20] <flowingfire> Okay if nobody can answer my questions, can somebody recommend a stable version of linux?  Something that doesn't black out, slide around, crash, or do strange things?
[08:20] <StepNjump> One of these days, it will be bye bye for good
[08:20] <dwidmann> possibly check out codeweavers crossover office also
[08:20] <underdog5004> flowingfire, what are your troubles?
[08:21] <hitmanWilly> anyway, ive got to get some sleep...later all
[08:21] <flowingfire> underdog5004: I installed Java with adept, but the installation failed and gave me some strange error.  Then adept stopped working altogether, and now beryl and some other stuff is broken on reboot.
[08:21] <flowingfire> underdog5004: And my login screen slides around on mouse movement... and firefox blacks out at random
[08:21] <flowingfire> and this is my second install lol
[08:22] <underdog5004> flowingfire, lol, that's why I don't use adept...try synaptic, if you reinstall
[08:22] <jager> the machinist: creepy cool
[08:22] <underdog5004> if you don't, then the solution to the sliding is to sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:22] <flowingfire> underdog5004: What's synaptic?  Is it way better?
[08:22] <underdog5004> that may fix firefox and beryl as well
[08:23] <StepNjump> Underdog: I guess quickbooks works under wine... it's listed in the applications
[08:23] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: I kinda get it, but I am not exactly sure about columns three through five in fstab...
[08:23] <dwidmann> apt-get forever!! :D
[08:23] <ForgeAus> they're both gui front ends for apt-get
[08:23] <underdog5004> flowingfire, it's much better, but it's just another frontend for apt-get
[08:23] <ForgeAus> synaptic is gnome-based and adept is kde-based
[08:23] <ForgeAus> at least in visual design
[08:23] <flowingfire> Oh cool.. I'm going to try the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:23] <underdog5004> frontend = Graphical User Interface for a commandline program
[08:23] <ForgeAus> but there was a kynaptic package too (ark linux uses it)
[08:24] <ForgeAus> underdog, yes in most cases
[08:24] <flowingfire> ahh
[08:24] <dwidmann> ForgeAus: last I checked it wasn't finished
[08:24] <StepNjump> Underdog: http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php?iCatId=63
[08:24] <jager> bah just use apt from the cli
[08:24] <jager> oh no typing is hard
[08:24] <underdog5004> jager, he's a beginner...synaptic is easier
[08:24] <underdog5004> jager, lay off
[08:24] <ForgeAus> dwidmann, I wouldn't be suprised if that were true
[08:25] <ForgeAus> I don't personally think either are easier, they're just different
[08:25] <underdog5004> ForgeAus, if you're more gui-oriented, guis are better...same with clis
[08:25] <underdog5004> I should think
[08:25] <ForgeAus> I'm definitely more gui oriented
[08:26] <ForgeAus> .. personally
[08:26] <underdog5004> flowingfire, after you've done the dpkg-reconfigure thing, restart X (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace)
[08:26] <underdog5004> ForgeAus, I know, I know, I prefer apt-get too
[08:26] <ForgeAus> I'm not anti-cli I just prefer gui
[08:26] <dwidmann> I'm some sort of mix, where would I be without my konsole kpart in half my apps? :P
[08:26] <flowingfire> underdog5004: Okay . . .  I already did the command line thing and re-installed an Nvidia driver as it appears.
[08:26] <MajorApus> the restricted package doens't actually work
[08:27] <ForgeAus> lol dwidmann
[08:27] <ForgeAus> bbl I gotta go
[08:27] <MajorApus> this is the second install where the restricted package dind't enable mp3 support
[08:27] <dwidmann> later ForgeAus
[08:27] <dwidmann> I think I'm going to go too, night all
[08:27] <ssaa> please  help me . how can i get sound from my laptop speakersw
[08:27] <ssaa> ?
[08:28] <wolferine> ssaa, turn them on
[08:28] <jager> heh
[08:28] <wolferine> ssaa, then turn up the volume
[08:28] <wolferine> ssaa, insert your DVD
[08:28] <ssaa> i have turned up the volume already
[08:28] <wolferine> ssaa, then hit play
[08:28] <MajorApus> can someone help me figure out how come the restricted package doesn't enable mp3 support, or basic avi codec support? like it says to it should, the wiki says this is what i am supose to do and it simply doens't work
[08:28] <ssaa> im getting sound from my headphone out bt no sound from speakers
[08:29] <wolferine> ssaa, they arent plugged in then
[08:29] <fiction> on which folder is my theme located? (like icons, etc)
[08:29] <flowingfire> Hi. :)  I just logged back in after doing the ctrl-alt-backspace command
[08:29] <ssaa> yes they ate
[08:29] <ssaa> are
[08:29] <ssaa> they are laptop speakers
[08:29] <wolferine> they are dead
[08:29] <ssaa> built in speakers
[08:29] <wolferine> or your volume is down
[08:29] <ssaa> i've just tried them in windows
[08:29] <ssaa> volume is ok
[08:29] <wolferine> good for you
[08:30] <wolferine> u have more than one way to adjust the volume
[08:30] <flowingfire> Beryl is still broken... Adept doesn't work... My desktop is acting funny...  And though the sliding problem was solved, my desktop looks squished
[08:30] <ssaa> i have tried alsamixer also
[08:30] <stephZ> ssaa did you try kmix
[08:30] <ssaa> stephZ: yes i did
[08:30] <underdog5004> flowingfire, lol, you may have selected the wrong resolutions when you reconfigged Xserver
[08:30] <bytech> does aanyone know specs for Beryl??????????
[08:31] <ssaa> everything is unmuted and with volume up
[08:31] <underdog5004> may want to go back through...space to select/deselect, Tab to change from list to action
[08:31] <underdog5004> bytech, calm down
[08:31] <flowingfire> underdog5004: Really?  I selected 1280x1024, which is optimal for my 19' monitor
[08:31] <MajorApus> why is everyone silent on this issue? the perscribed way to get mp3 support in the current stable distro of kubuntu , DOES NOT WORK
[08:31] <wolferine> bytech, check the website?
[08:31] <stephZ> majorapus -> it worked fine for me
[08:31] <wolferine> ssaa, what happens when you play something?
[08:32] <wolferine> an error msgs?
[08:32] <jgoss> MajorApus: install libxine-extracodecs
[08:32] <underdog5004> flowingfire, weird...maybe I was wrong...sorry
[08:32] <jgoss> MajorApus: if you want amarok to play mp3's. i'm not sure what media player you are using.
[08:32] <MajorApus> jgoss if thats the case, someone needs to change the wiki
[08:32] <ssaa> wolferine: no error messages. everything plays normally but i got no sound
[08:32] <underdog5004> flowingfire, generally, when I screw a system up really badly, I just reinstall...
[08:32] <flowingfire> underdog5004: It's no worse that it was before... Maybe a little better due to the login screen not sliding. :)
[08:32] <wolferine> ssaa, the sound is controlled by your keypad maybe
[08:32] <zerothis> MajorApus: I agree, my mp3s all sound like static
[08:32] <wolferine> ssaa, do some googling
[08:32] <ssaa> wolferine: if i plug my headphones i can hear everything
[08:33] <goldfndr> speaking of changing the wiki... I'm having the same trouble as "RK": I cannot find any "Kubuntu Distribution Upgrade Tool" on my system, nor do I find a hint at what package I need to install to have it. Can someone cure my blindness and point me to it? --RK
[08:33] <stephZ> saa what's your player?
[08:33] <flowingfire> underdog5004: Do you know if any prior releases are more stable with bugfixes and all?  I can't seem to get this working right on my computer.
[08:33] <ssaa> i have tried amarok , caffeine
[08:33] <underdog5004> flowingfire, which version are you using know?
[08:33] <underdog5004> now*
[08:33] <stephZ> try to launch amarok from a konsole and see if there is message error
[08:33] <flowingfire> underdog5004: I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn
[08:33] <jordo23> !codec
[08:33] <MajorApus> not to mention, the restricted package doesn't add support for AVI files
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <ssaa> stephZ: ok
[08:34] <underdog5004> flowingfire, I would use edgy till feisty is worked out
[08:34] <MajorApus> jordo that package doesn't work
[08:34] <underdog5004> jmoho
[08:34] <flowingfire> underdog5004: At this point, I agree-- LOL.  I was thinking I'd file a bug report or two today, but I'm a bit tired from the two I supplied yesterday. lol
[08:35] <underdog5004> lol
[08:35] <jgoss> MajorApus: if i recall correctly ffmpeg replays avi files. you may need the w32codecs also.
[08:35] <underdog5004> yeah, we can't all be givers!
[08:35] <flowingfire> underdog5004: Thanks for the help tho
[08:35] <jgoss> *plays
[08:35] <underdog5004> flowingfire, np, I'm on a lot
[08:35] <praecox> hello guys
[08:35] <MajorApus> jgoss those arn't part of restricted?
[08:35] <MajorApus> what the hell does that package do!?
[08:35] <praecox> during last upgrade Adept uninstalled some of my components in System Settings.
[08:35] <praecox> how can I bring them back?
[08:36] <fiction> on which folder is my theme located? (like icons, etc)
[08:36] <praecox> I have already tried apt-get install --reinstall kde-systemsettings
[08:36] <praecox> but it didn't help.
[08:36] <MajorApus> anyone else having problems with the gui mount utility just ignoring this you try and do
[08:36] <ssaa> stephZ: here's the output   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17358/
[08:36] <underdog5004> praecox, sudo apt-get install kde-systemsettings
[08:36] <jgoss> MajorApus: i think flash, java, gstreamer-ugly, and mscorefonts are they only things included in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:36] <underdog5004> reinstall is for packages already installed
[08:36] <underdog5004> if that doesn't work, try apt-get install kcontrol
[08:36] <MajorApus> jgoss thats all and good, someone should fix it so it doesnt say mp3 and most codecs
[08:36] <praecox> underdog5004, kde-systemsettings is already the newest version.
[08:36] <underdog5004> hmmm
[08:37] <jgoss> MajorApus: i agree.
[08:37] <praecox> underdog5004, kcontrol is already the newest version.
[08:37] <underdog5004> adept seems to be screwing everyone tonight
[08:37] <MajorApus> jgoss so what do I need for codecs?
[08:37] <underdog5004> I don't know, then...sorry
[08:37] <wolferine> need an hand setting permissions for my Epson scanner, so my users can use it
[08:37] <stephZ> sa i have the same error but it works for me ;-)
[08:38] <ssaa> oh
[08:38] <GuHHH> can anyone help me installing php5 module on apache 1.3 (ubuntu feist)
[08:38] <jgoss> MajorApus: ffmpeg and libxine1-ffmpeg should do it. i would also install the w32codec package.
[08:38] <ssaa> stephZ: are you using alsa_
[08:38] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: I ran that codec script before and it won't play divx or xvid movies in kaffeine, is there something left to do?
[08:38] <wolferine> GuHHH, what appears to be the issue?
[08:38] <stephZ> jgoss, there is no more w32codecs i think, there is only ubuntu-restricted
[08:39] <underdog5004> g'night all
[08:39] <GuHHH> wolferine: cant find the package :/
[08:39] <jordo23> hitmanWilly: nevermind....got it....I think..
[08:39] <MajorApus> stephz thats either completely wrong, or we are screwed, because restricted does not install any media codecs anymore
[08:39] <wolferine> GuHHH, you cannot find it in the installer?
[08:40] <jgoss> stephZ: i think the prefered way to get the w32codecs is from the medibuntu repository now
[08:40] <stephZ> jgoss, ok thanks,
[08:40] <stephZ> jgoss, in fact i installed mplayer and that's enough for me
[08:40] <StepNjump> Could anybody help me with this error?
[08:41] <aldin> praecox: u could try rm -rf ~.kde
[08:41] <StepNjump> /etc/apt$ sudo apt-get install adept_installer
[08:41] <StepNjump> Reading package lists... Done
[08:41] <StepNjump> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:41] <StepNjump> E: Couldn't find package adept_installer
[08:41] <jgoss> that's great too =)
[08:41] <underdog5004> praecox, don't do that
[08:41] <GuHHH> wolferine: cant find it on apt repositories... only apache2 module
[08:41] <underdog5004> that'll kill all kde settings
[08:41] <GuHHH> wolferine: its annoying
[08:42] <jgoss> StepNjump: it's adept-installer
[08:42] <aldin> underdog5004: so what
[08:42] <stephZ> Step -> adept-installer
[08:42] <StepNjump> How can I get the package adept_installer in my system jgoss?
[08:42] <wolferine> GuHHH sudo aptitude update
[08:42] <wolferine> GuHHH, did you edit your sources.list?
[08:42] <stephZ> step -> sudo apt-get install adept-installer
[08:42] <aldin> underdog5004: after that logou/login and it will back him as default kubuntu installation
[08:42] <jgoss> yest stephZ has the correct command for you =)
[08:42] <StepNjump> Thaanks Steph... but I think I tried it.. didn't work
[08:43] <StepNjump> Let me try again StephZ
[08:43] <stephZ> step : ok
[08:43] <GuHHH> wolferine: yes... do you find it on ubuntu feist? try: libapache-mod-php5
[08:44] <StepNjump> StephZ: no always the same problem:
[08:44] <StepNjump> /etc/apt$ sudo apt-get install adept-installer
[08:44] <StepNjump> Reading package lists... Done
[08:44] <StepNjump> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:44] <StepNjump> E: Couldn't find package adept-installer
[08:44] <MajorApus> what is wrong with the mount utility in system settings?  sometimes it takes the options I specify and applies them to a DIFFERENT drive?
[08:44] <MajorApus> sometimes I cant even access some drives some of the time
[08:44] <StepNjump> MajorApus, yesterday I mounted my NTFS drive and today... nothing
[08:44] <Kimppa> Hello. I'm having problems with mounting a network hard drive. I'm able to mount it, but only so that root has write access to it? Any ideas how I can mount it so that other usernames will have write access as well?
[08:44] <StepNjump> do a ls in /mnt/windows and nada
[08:45] <StepNjump> go figure
[08:45] <stephZ> step -> what's your version of kubuntu?
[08:45] <StepNjump> So you are not alone
[08:45] <StepNjump> StephZ: 6.06.1
[08:45] <MajorApus> im 7.04
[08:45] <wolferine> GuHHH, what?
[08:45] <barist> hi
[08:45] <MajorApus> the last batch of updates messed up a lot
[08:45] <GuHHH> wolferine: are u on ubuntu feist?
[08:45] <StepNjump> Should I upgrade StephZ?
[08:46] <GuHHH> MajorApus: can u help me?
[08:46] <barist> i have a problem with kubuntu, any one help pe ?
[08:46] <wolferine> GuHHH, how about answering my questions
[08:46] <stephZ> step ->no you have the latest
[08:46] <GuHHH> wolferine: id add some repositories, but what else should i do?
[08:46] <stephZ> step->mine said you already have the latest adept-installer
[08:46] <jgoss> i'm not sure but wasn't adept-installer introduced in edgy?
[08:47] <stephZ> step->did you modify you souces.list?
[08:47] <MajorApus> guhhh no im problem prone
[08:47] <MajorApus> on an average day my linux kernel needs to be recompiled twice
[08:47] <StepNjump> Yes stephZ because the lines were commented with a # (the servers)
[08:47] <wolferine> GuHHH sudo aptitude update
[08:47] <GuHHH> MajorApus: just type: apt-cache search libapache-mod-php5 and tell me if u can find it, please?
[08:47] <kraut> moin
[08:47] <StepNjump> so I removed the comments (#) for the server lines
[08:48] <GuHHH> wolferine: i did it many times, do not help. :(
[08:48] <stephZ> step : ok
[08:48] <StepNjump> Am I supposed to change the server list StephZ?
[08:48] <stephZ> step : no
[08:48] <wolferine> GuHHH, did you edit your sources.list?
[08:48] <StepNjump> #Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
[08:48] <StepNjump> That's true because when I installed, I didn't have the WiFi configured and wasn't hard wired
[08:48] <wolferine> GuHHH, what did u do, add to it, comment out lines, etc?
[08:49] <GuHHH> wolferine: added repositories, only...
[08:49] <StepNjump> Nope, the installer daemon did that
[08:49] <barist> i want to connect my kubuntu installed pc via ssh from other computer but a error messace appear "connection refused"
[08:49] <StepNjump> I guess
[08:49] <StepNjump> barist, do you have a firewall at either end?
[08:49] <wolferine> GuHHH, CD is still active in the source.list?
[08:50] <GuHHH> wolferine: commented the cd-rom repositories
[08:50] <wolferine> why?
[08:50] <GuHHH> wolferine: because it hasnt the file i want :P
[08:50] <wolferine> uncomment it again
[08:50] <MajorApus> I cant mount at all
[08:50] <StepNjump> What do you mean CD wolferine?
[08:50] <wolferine> sudo aptitude update
[08:50] <barist> i dont know kubuntu have? but other computer not firewalled
[08:50] <stephZ> step: did you try to go in adept_manager
[08:50] <wolferine> then you will find php
[08:50] <GuHHH> StepNjump: cd-rom repository
[08:51] <StepNjump> Try bypassing the router at both ends
[08:51] <StepNjump> to rule out that possibility
[08:51] <wolferine> StepNjump, I wasnt talking to you
[08:51] <StepNjump> barist
[08:51] <wolferine> in case you hadnt noticed....
[08:51] <StepNjump> I'm new GuHHH
[08:51] <StepNjump> What do you mean
[08:51] <StepNjump> Sorry for being such an imbecile
[08:51] <wolferine> apology accepted
[08:51] <StepNjump> oh ok sorry Wolferine
[08:52] <StepNjump> StephZ
[08:52] <StepNjump> Adept_manager: Command not found
[08:52] <flowingfire> Wouldn't it be great it we could take the strengths of all the Linuxes and smush them all together?  Like the compatibility and general usability of Ubuntu with the stability of Fedora and the sexy looks of Linspire... And the functionality of Gentoo
[08:52] <barist> i'm trying to connect kubuntu via putty ssh client
[08:52] <MajorApus> so when updates just break things completley we sit and wait?
[08:53] <stephZ> step : don't put > Adept but adept
[08:53] <GuHHH> its annoying, ive update my system and now i cant install the php module... :(
[08:53] <StepNjump> oh that's what I did StephZ
[08:53] <barist> my windows machine firewall is off
[08:53] <zerothis> how do i add a local directory as a package source?
[08:53] <StepNjump> is adept_manager supposed to be in /usr/bin?
[08:54] <stephZ> step: yes
[08:54] <StepNjump> this is so weird
[08:54] <StepNjump> I just did a ls adept* in that directory and here is the echo :
[08:54] <StepNjump> adept  adept_batch  adept_installer  adept_notifier  adept_updater
[08:54] <StepNjump> Not there !!!
[08:54] <wolferine> GuHHH, did you do waht I told you?
[08:54] <StepNjump> Agrrrr
[08:55] <StepNjump> Reinstall right StephZ?
[08:55] <GuHHH> wolferine: sorry, what did you tell:
[08:55] <wolferine> GuHHH, scroll up, I am NOT repeating it
[08:55] <stephZ> step: here is my ls adept* in /usr/bin
[08:55] <stephZ> step : adept_batch  adept_installer  adept_manager  adept_notifier  adept_updater
[08:56] <StepNjump> weird
[08:56] <stephZ> step : try sudo apt-get install adept-manger
[08:57] <StepNjump> I think I tried that
[08:57] <StepNjump> Let me check
[08:57] <jgoss> StepNjump: i think on ubuntu dapper the package adept provided adept_updater and adept_installer. so try sudo apt-get install adept
[08:57] <stephZ> jgoss : he is on a 7.04
[08:58] <jgoss> oh, oops. sorry.
[08:58] <stephZ> jgoss ;-)
[08:58] <StepNjump> StephZ: yep always the same thing. It seems to need adept_manager to update itself
[08:58] <StepNjump> E: Couldn't find package adept-manager
[08:58] <GuHHH> wolferine: ok, i will try... but i think it has only apache2 :/
[08:59] <stephZ> step : can you do a uname -r
[08:59] <StepNjump> Ok thanks jgoss, I will try that
[08:59] <jgoss> StepNjump: i thought you said earlier you were on 6.06.1?
[09:00] <stephZ> jgoss : you are right he is 6.06
[09:00] <StepNjump> I am jgoss
[09:00] <StepNjump> That's what I downloaded
[09:00] <jgoss> well hope it works then =)
[09:00] <StepNjump> 6.06
[09:01] <StepNjump> Howcan I tell for sure?
[09:01] <StepNjump> jgoss:
[09:01] <StepNjump> sudo apt-get install adept
[09:01] <StepNjump> Reading package lists... Done
[09:01] <StepNjump> Building dependency tree... Done
[09:01] <StepNjump> adept is already the newest version.
[09:01] <StepNjump> when I do sudo apt-get install adept_manager it tells me that I don't have adept_manager!!!
[09:01] <StepNjump> What is the DOS equivalent of VER
[09:02] <StepNjump> for Linux
[09:02] <jgoss> StepNjump: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install adept
[09:02] <StepNjump> Oh that's a new one.. Sounds good jgoss
[09:02] <StepNjump> let me give it my best shot
[09:02] <Kubuntulator> hello
[09:03] <StepNjump> jgoss: Reinstallation of adept is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[09:03] <StepNjump> That's what it told me! lol
[09:03] <StepNjump> Why would that be???
[09:04] <Kubuntulator> does the kubuntu-desktop have an option to turn on the Cube and wobbly windows like in ubuntu ?
[09:04] <jgoss> i'm not sure but you can download it at http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/kde/adept and try installing it manually.
[09:05] <StepNjump> ok thanks jgoss, but how do I install it manually?
[09:05] <StepNjump> just cp it to the folder?
[09:06] <stephZ> step : dpkg -i name_of_the_package
[09:06] <StepNjump> Awesome guys, let me give this a shot
[09:06] <StepNjump> I've been trying all day!
[09:06] <StepNjump> brb
[09:07] <stephZ> step : sudo dpkg - i adept_2.0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[09:08] <jgoss> StepNjump: maybe sudo apt-get remove adept first. it may just say adept is already installed.
[09:08] <Kubuntulator> why not install synaptic and use that to reinstall adept :D
[09:08] <jgoss> that's a better idea. a lot easier :).
[09:09] <Kubuntulator> hehe
[09:09] <StepNjump> Ok thanks jgoss for remove
[09:09] <StepNjump> I'll give it a shot
[09:09] <StepNjump> downloading now
[09:10] <StepNjump> Seem like I'm on the right track
[09:10] <StepNjump> Was worth trying
[09:10] <StepNjump> I learned a lot about bash shell cmds in the meanwhile
[09:10] <stephZ> step : just for my own interest, how did you managed to remove adept?
[09:12] <wolferine> ok, one last time, anyone able to help me to setup my scanner ?
[09:12] <stephZ> wolferine : what's you scanner ?
[09:12] <wolferine> stephZ, are you experienced?
[09:13] <wolferine> its an Epson CX5000
[09:13] <NewUser> which scaner do you have?
[09:13] <wolferine> i just said NewUser
[09:13] <NewUser> USB?
[09:13] <wolferine> correct
[09:13] <wolferine> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x082b) at libusb:001:006
[09:13] <stephZ> wolferine: kubuntu version?
[09:13] <wolferine> ubuntu
[09:13] <NewUser> do you have sane and xsane installed?
[09:14] <wolferine> xsane is installed
[09:14] <GuHHH> how do i remove a dir that isnt empty?
[09:14] <wolferine> i can scan as sudo
[09:14] <NewUser> GuHHH rm -rf see man =)
[09:14] <wolferine> xsane doesnt recognize the device
[09:14] <GuHHH> NewUser: thanks
[09:14] <stephZ> wolferine : stupid question, but what's happening with kooka?
[09:15] <NewUser> you can scan as root?
[09:15] <wolferine> stephZ, how do I use it to scan (kooka) ?
[09:15] <wolferine> NewUser, yes, as I said
[09:16] <stephZ> wolverine : launch kooka (scan prog as xsane)
[09:16] <wolferine> scan prog as xsane?
[09:16] <stephZ> a program which act as xsane
[09:16] <wolferine> how about we start over
[09:17] <MajorApus> can someone tell me the correct name for the packages ffmpeg and libxine1-ffmpeg
[09:17] <wolferine> I can scan as su, but I cannot as my user
[09:17] <GuHHH> how do i get beryl to work?
[09:17] <wolferine> i will use xsane to scan
[09:17] <wolferine> (not kooka)
[09:17] <stephZ> wolverine : oh ok
[09:17] <NewUser> GhHHH go to beryl-project.org
[09:17] <GuHHH> beryl: No composite extension
[09:17] <GuHHH> what that means?
[09:18] <jgoss> MajorApus: those are the correct names i think.
[09:18] <wolferine> so no ideas?
[09:18] <StepNjump> StephZ and jgoss, just uninstalled it using apt-get remove adept, where again does it go? /usr/bin?
[09:18] <MajorApus> jgross package doens't exist
[09:18] <wolferine> stephZ, or NewUser ?
[09:19] <NewUser> Wolferine, xsane cannot find your scanner?
[09:19] <stephZ> wolverine:permission are set to saned?
[09:19] <NewUser> If you lauch it as user?
[09:19] <wolferine> NewUser, is it necessary that I repeat myself?
[09:20] <jgoss> MajorApus: it should be there. i just checked. are you on feisty?
[09:20] <MajorApus> ffmpeg is, but not libxine1-ffmpeg
[09:20] <stephZ> wolverine : you must have root:scanner and root:saned
[09:20] <wolferine> lsusb Bus 001 Device 006: ID 04b8:082b Seiko Epson Corp.
[09:20] <MajorApus> how do I give myself access to folders I am using to mount drives /mount/data1 for example
[09:20] <wolferine>  sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x082b) at libusb:001:006
[09:21] <jgoss> MajorApus: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libxine1-ffmpeg it seems to exist. i'm not sure why it's not coming up for you.
[09:21] <wolferine> sudo scanimage -d epson <-- scans
[09:21] <jgoss> StepNjump:  try sudo apt-get install adept to get it back on your computer now.
[09:21] <wolferine> stephZ, i have to change permissions where?
[09:23] <stephZ> wolverine
[09:23] <wolferine> I changed /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to reflect my info from lsusb
[09:23] <wolferine> thats why I can scan with that command
[09:24] <stephZ> wolferine : did you try this ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222490
[09:24] <stephZ> wolverine : last poste
[09:25] <wolferine> stephZ, i didnt have /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.1.
[09:26] <StepNjump> StephZ: I get a new error now when trying to install the pkg
[09:26] <StepNjump> sudo dpkg -i adept_2.0ubuntul_i386
[09:26] <StepNjump> dpkg: error processing adept_2.0ubuntul_i386 (--install):

[09:26] <StepNjump> Errors were encountered while processing:
[09:26] <StepNjump>  adept_2.0ubuntul_i386
[09:26] <MajorApus> whats the command to reload the xorg.conf file
[09:26] <StepNjump> Maybe I didn't type it right
[09:26] <StepNjump> Oh
[09:26] <stephZ> step :yes it maybe
[09:26] <stephZ> :D
[09:26] <StepNjump> Maybe it's a O not Zero
[09:26] <wolferine> MajorApus, did you back it up?
[09:27] <stephZ> step: no/ it's a zero
[09:27] <StepNjump> Looked through X and seems like a O in Oubuntul
[09:27] <NewUser> try chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner0 or chmod 666 /dev/usb/scanner0
[09:27] <MajorApus> it was basic changes wolf
[09:27] <StepNjump> Not zero
[09:27] <StepNjump> hold on....
[09:27] <StepNjump> dip dip dip
[09:27] <jgoss> StepNjump: looks like you forgot the .deb at the end.
[09:27] <wolferine> MajorApus, did u backup the original file?
[09:27] <stephZ> step : type dpkg -i adepthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=tab
[09:27] <MajorApus> wolferine: no, its a simple change in the mouse button binds
[09:27] <stephZ> step : sorry
[09:28] <wolferine> NewUser, I dont have either of those
[09:28] <stephZ> step : ype dpkg -i adept http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=TAb it will autocomplete
[09:28] <wolferine> MajorApus, fyi, you might want to backup a working xorg.conf
[09:28] <MajorApus> fine
[09:29] <MajorApus> its backed up :P whats the command
[09:29] <wolferine> cp xorg.conf_work xorg.conf
[09:29] <NewUser> wolferine why? You not have root?
[09:29] <MajorApus> no, to reload it
[09:29] <wolferine> NewUser, sorry?
[09:29] <NewUser> sudo passwd root
[09:30] <wolferine> MajorApus, when you backup the xorg.conf taht is working, you just cp that to xorg.conf
[09:30] <wolferine> NewUser, sorry?
[09:30] <StepNjump> StephZ now it says
[09:30] <StepNjump> sudo dpkg -i adept
[09:30] <StepNjump> dpkg: error processing adept (--install):
[09:30] <StepNjump>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory

[09:30] <NewUser> wolferine, you have root access?
[09:30] <StepNjump> adept
[09:30] <StepNjump> We're close now
[09:30] <stephZ> Step: try dpkg -i adept*
[09:31] <StepNjump> I can feel it
[09:31] <StepNjump> Ok StephZ
[09:31] <wolferine> NewUser, I think you know tha answer to your question already
[09:31] <StepNjump> Yep
[09:31] <StepNjump> it did it I think
[09:31] <stephZ> step:  so we are really close then :D
[09:31] <MajorApus> wolferine: no wolf, whats the commadn to force the system to look at xorg.conf again and apply changes
[09:31] <StepNjump>  sudo dpkg -i adept*
[09:31] <StepNjump> Selecting previously deselected package adept.
[09:31] <StepNjump> (Reading database ... 65664 files and directories currently installed.)
[09:31] <StepNjump> Unpacking adept (from adept_2.0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
[09:31] <StepNjump> Setting up adept (2.0ubuntu1) ...
[09:31] <jgoss> :)
[09:31] <wolferine> MajorApus, restart X
[09:31] <StepNjump> Yeah!!!
[09:32] <wolferine> logout, or ctrl-alt-backspace
[09:32] <wolferine> that wasnt what you asked btw...
[09:32] <StepNjump> However, believe it or not StephZ: adept_manager is not there
[09:33] <wolferine> NewUser or stephZ thats about all you have?
[09:33] <StepNjump> Nope not there!
[09:33] <StepNjump> adept  adept_batch  adept_installer  adept_notifier  adept_updater
[09:33] <stephZ> step
[09:33] <StepNjump> Isnt that the weirdest thing
[09:33] <stephZ> you ahve adept
[09:34] <StepNjump> Yes I do
[09:34] <jgoss> StepNjump: it should have adept_installer and adept_updater now though :)
[09:34] <StepNjump> Yep it does jgoss
[09:34] <StepNjump> I always had those but it never wanted to update anything
[09:35] <wolferine> zzzzz
[09:35] <wolferine> nite then
[09:35] <StepNjump> The reason I started this question guys is because I can't add/remove programs
[09:35] <wolferine> thanks for trying
[09:35] <jgoss> oh. i thought the problem was you didn't have those.
[09:35] <StepNjump> They are greyed out
[09:35] <StepNjump> Nope
[09:35] <StepNjump> I just can't add/remove programs
[09:35] <stephZ> step : did you launch adept as root?
[09:35] <NewUser> wloferine, you must change permissions of scanner device
[09:35] <StepNjump> When I go to that menu, whatever is not already installed (checked out), is greyed out
[09:35] <StepNjump> so I can't select anything
[09:36] <wolferine> NewUser, yes, but how
[09:36] <NewUser> therefore you must have root access
[09:36] <StepNjump> well, from the bash shell I do sudo adept
[09:36] <StepNjump> and from F2 command line I do kdesu adept
[09:36] <stephZ> step:yep that's right/weird
[09:36] <StepNjump> Lol
[09:36] <StepNjump> I know it's weird
[09:36] <stephZ> step: and what's happening if you do a sudo apt-get update
[09:36] <wolferine> NewUser, you sort of appear to know what your talking about, you must be tired
[09:37] <StepNjump> Ok maybe that might help
[09:37] <NewUser> if you dont know root password you must type "sudo passwd root" and  apply new root password.
[09:37] <StepNjump> When I invoke adept from the bash shell, it pops up an X window that says:
[09:37] <wolferine> NewUser, im not sure if you realize this, but most ppl in here will know their root password
[09:37] <wolferine> and knowing it, does not help me to do what you ask
[09:37] <StepNjump> You will not be able to change your systems settings
[09:37] <NewUser> then su <password>  and chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner0
[09:38] <StepNjump> in any way
[09:38] <wolferine> because your not really reading my posts
[09:38] <StepNjump> because this application
[09:38] <StepNjump> needs special
[09:38] <wolferine> i have no /dev/usbscanner0, as I stated before
[09:38] <StepNjump> administrator
[09:38] <StepNjump> root
[09:38] <StepNjump> priviledges
[09:38] <StepNjump> Please run it as root
[09:38] <stephZ> step: really weird
[09:38] <StepNjump> or through kdesu or sudo programs
[09:38] <StepNjump> to be able to perform these actions
[09:39] <StepNjump> Sudo works but it doesn't work.. is that what it's telling me?
[09:39] <stephZ> step : are you sure of your root pass?
[09:39] <StepNjump> Well, yeah
[09:39] <StepNjump> Let me reset it to be totally sure
[09:39] <StepNjump> Actually
[09:39] <StepNjump> you know what
[09:39] <wolferine> think i need to log
[09:39] <wolferine> thats why
[09:39] <StepNjump> Earlier I changed it but it looks like it never took effect
[09:40] <stephZ> step :;-) we are close
[09:40] <StepNjump> Cuz when I key in the new password it tells me the password is wrong
[09:40] <StepNjump> I think guys I will log off and come back what do you say?
[09:40] <stephZ> step: then reset it :D
[09:40] <StepNjump> Ok
[09:40] <stephZ> step : no need to logoff
[09:40] <voicu> what does ktorrent mean with download and upload bandwidth? there already is a setting for upload/download rate
[09:41] <NewUser> wolferine tru to run xsane from konsole and see log/
[09:43] <fusspils><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:44] <StepNjump> Wow I fetched the updates StephZ for the first time!!!
[09:44] <xavito> Hey guys I'm using kubuntu 7.04 and I have dependency problems... Can someone help me ?
[09:44] <StepNjump> Looks like it never took my password change
[09:44] <stephZ> step : cool
[09:45] <StepNjump> Awesome
[09:45] <stephZ> then you can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:45] <StepNjump> Sometimes it's so simple
[09:45] <StepNjump> duh.. it mostly is always simple
[09:45] <StepNjump> But I learned so much with you guys
[09:45] <StepNjump> Ok let me try Step
[09:45] <StepNjump> Steph
[09:45] <NewUser> ! -   -?
[09:46] <kretschmar> hello, is there a bug with dvb-s (nova-s) and feisty (kernel 2.6.20)
[09:46] <voicu> NewUser: #kubuntu-ru ?
[09:46] <StepNjump> Awesome!!
[09:46] <StepNjump> I love LINUX!
[09:46] <StepNjump> This is sooo cool
[09:46] <stephZ> step: cool
[09:47] <praecox> hey, I've got problem with sound on my Kubuntu.
[09:47] <praecox> it's very quiet.
[09:47] <ForgeAus> hehe Linux is good :)
[09:47] <StepNjump> You are awesome StephZ
[09:47] <praecox> I checked and master is set to 100% in alsamixer.
[09:47] <praecox> what can I do with this/
[09:47] <ForgeAus> prae, um I guess I don't have to say check your volume
[09:47] <stephZ> step : thks
[09:47] <praecox> ForgeAus, not at all.
[09:47] <ForgeAus> hmmm does your card have a volume too?
[09:47] <StepNjump> And Jgoss of course
[09:47] <ForgeAus> also speakers...
[09:47] <StepNjump> Thanks to the both of you
[09:48] <praecox> PCM is also set to 100%.
[09:48] <stephZ> step : have a nice day
[09:48] <praecox> ForgeAus, everything worked great before I did dist-upgrade to dapper.
[09:48] <ForgeAus> well in that case I doubt I can help you
[09:48] <StepNjump> I don't understand how they can get Kubuntu to fit on one CD and Mandrake takes almost 3 DVDs to fit on
[09:48] <praecox> ForgeAus, now sound is very quiet.
[09:48] <ForgeAus> I know little about alsa and sound in linux
[09:48] <StepNjump> Eh, I'll stick around a little longer though it's really late
[09:48] <stephZ> step : mandriva
[09:49] <StepNjump> I will keep your nicks here for future reference
[09:49] <praecox> ForgeAus, same as I do, that's why I can't help myself.
[09:49] <stephZ> step: in fact there is a mandriva one
[09:49] <ForgeAus> I mean mine works for the most part... and I've changed volumes, but thats about as far as I go...
[09:50] <StepNjump> What is mandriva Steph?
[09:50] <stephZ> step : the new name ok mandrake
[09:50] <stephZ> step : ok ->of
[09:50] <StepNjump> You obviously prefer kubuntu if you are here?
[09:50] <StepNjump> That's off topic I guess... sorry
[09:51] <stephZ> step: i tried for 6 monthes mandriva 2007 but quickly came back to my kubuntu :D
[09:51] <StepNjump> Ok!
[09:51] <StepNjump> It's really nice. I like them both (ubuntu and kubuntu)
[09:52] <StepNjump> I'm a Nelson Mandella fan so...
[09:52] <stephZ> step:  lol
[09:52] <StepNjump> You guys are great to take your time to help like that
[09:52] <ryks> hi all
[09:52] <ryks> new in linux
[09:52] <ryks> please help
[09:53] <jgoss> ryks: what is your problem? we can try to help then :)
[09:53] <StepNjump> Thanks jgoss. It works!
[09:53] <ForgeAus> mandrive = Mandrake + Connectiva + Lycoris
[09:53] <ryks> i need to instal a player in ubuntu but how?
[09:53] <ForgeAus> grr mandriva.. (damn typos)
[09:53] <stephZ> step : where are you from?
[09:53] <ForgeAus> what kind of player?
[09:53] <jgoss> StepNjump: i'm glad it worked. congrats :)
[09:53] <ryks> i have the pakage .tar
[09:54] <ryks> calleed xine
[09:54] <StepNjump> :)
[09:54] <ryks> with the console?
[09:54] <dug> recently my laptops hdd starts acting crazy, it will start to click non stop, I never had this problem before tonight, anyone know of any sugestions as to what is wrong with it, I doubt its bad, I just purchased it, and I doubt its a heating problem
[09:54] <ForgeAus> xine is a player
[09:54] <jgoss> ryks: xine is in the ubuntu repositories. just click applications and then add/remove programs and search for it.
[09:54] <ForgeAus> you can get it from adept
[09:54] <MajorApus> anyone know about kde extended desktop
[09:54] <ForgeAus> (you don't need the .tar to install it)
[09:54] <ForgeAus> theres a .deb for it
[09:54] <jgoss> i mean kmenu add/remove programs
[09:54] <jgoss> oops
[09:54] <ryks> yes?
[09:55] <ForgeAus> (you may need the universe or multiverse repository enabled tho)
[09:55] <ForgeAus> !xine
[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xine - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:55] <Delco> ForgeAus. back it up while you can. then call tech support for a new one
[09:55] <ryks> a little dificoult to me
[09:55] <ryks> sorry my bed english
[09:55] <ryks> :)
[09:55] <ForgeAus> um.. Delco?? me??
[09:55] <ForgeAus> I think you mean dug
[09:55] <MajorApus> how do I give myself access to mounted drives?
[09:56] <ForgeAus> MajorApus, you browse to them
[09:56] <Delco> my bad, right you are ForgeAus
[09:56] <MajorApus> access denied
[09:56] <ForgeAus> do you know where its mounted under?
[09:56] <dug> i doubt highly its bad, im going threw some of the settings in this distro, i dual boot and windows gives me no problems what so ever
[09:56] <StepNjump> StephZ sorry.. .just saw  your message. Was looking at the shell there... I'm from Canada originally but since my wife is American, we are now in Missouri
[09:56] <ForgeAus> normally its /mnt/<devicename> or /media/<devicename>
[09:56] <MajorApus> Please dont assume Im an idiot, when I say access I mean access, not find
[09:56] <stephZ> step: ok cool/france here
[09:56] <StepNjump> My sister in law is really hyped up about Linux.
[09:57] <ForgeAus> you mean permissions?
[09:57] <StepNjump> Oh really
[09:57] <MajorApus> yes
[09:57] <StepNjump> Vous parlez bien Franais. Moi je suis Qubcois.
[09:57] <ForgeAus> ok if its in fstab, and its mounted with default as the flag, try changing it to user
[09:57] <StepNjump> My ancesters used to be French too :)
[09:57] <ForgeAus> either that or you may need to chmod files
[09:57] <stephZ> step: damned we could have talked in french :D
[09:57] <StepNjump> In the Louis XIV days
[09:58] <stephZ> step : lol
[09:58] <MajorApus> whats the command to see my user id
[09:58] <StepNjump> LOL bien oui, pourquoi se compliquer la vie quand c'est pourtant si simple n'est-ce pas?
[09:58] <ForgeAus> you don't change it to a user id.. the literal word "user"
[09:58] <StepNjump> J'utilise le clavier french canadian
[09:58] <ForgeAus> instead of "default"
[09:58] <StepNjump> C'est quoi ton nom de famille?
[09:58] <stephZ> step : il faut qu'y aille / a bientot j'espere
[09:58] <StepNjump> Qui commence par Z?
[09:59] <MajorApus>  /dev/sdb3 /mount/data2 auto nouser,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
[09:59] <formatter> everyone..where i can get kwlan..
[09:59] <StepNjump> Ah d'accord. Merci encore pour tout Stephane!
[09:59] <stephZ> step: i don't think it's polite to speak in french here :D
[09:59] <jgoss> MajorApus:  you can type id and that will tell you
[09:59] <ForgeAus> um nouser?
[09:59] <StepNjump> Salutation  la m
[09:59] <ForgeAus> I'm not sure what all those flags mean,
[09:59] <StepNjump> Salutations a la mere patrie
[09:59] <StepNjump> Bonne journe mon ami
[09:59] <ForgeAus> most of them are not necessary...
[09:59] <stephZ> step: Z is just a nickname/ i will tell her / if you want to write<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:00] <MajorApus> most of them, oh wait, all of them, were added by the mount utility, so take it up with him
[10:00] <benji> !ati
[10:00] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:00] <ForgeAus> I would try commenting out that line and using a new one /dev/sdb3 /mount/data2 auto user,rw 0 0
[10:00] <stephZ> step : bye
[10:01] <StepNjump> Ok merci pour ton email Steph. Yes, let's keep in touch.

[10:03] <ryks> are you sure?
[10:03] <jgoss> ryks: are you using kubuntu or ubuntu?
[10:03] <ryks> very very new in linux
[10:03] <ryks> sorry

[10:03] <ryks> kubuntu
[10:03] <ryks> sorry

[10:05] <ryks> aha
[10:05] <ryks> not here
[10:05] <ryks> in multimedia?
[10:05] <ForgeAus> uh? wheres here?
[10:05] <formatter> ryks: use xmms for mp3 and kafein for dvix
[10:06] <ryks> k
[10:06] <ForgeAus> and yes it should show up in your kmenu under the multimedia secion ONCE its installed
[10:06] <ryks> xmms missing from multimedia
[10:06] <ForgeAus> yeah what formatter says sounds reasonable...
[10:06] <ryks> but kaffeine is
[10:06] <ForgeAus> ok well xmms you can install
[10:07] <ryks> how?
[10:07] <ForgeAus> ryks you can get it in Adept (the package manager)
[10:07] <StepNjump> Good night everyone. Thanks again guys.
[10:07] <ryks> aham
[10:07] <jgoss> ryks: at the top left you should see show: checkbox unsupported. make sure that checkbox is marked :)
[10:07] <StepNjump> 3AM here
[10:07] <jgoss> good night StepNjump
[10:07] <StepNjump> night Jgoss
[10:07] <ryks> k
[10:07] <ForgeAus> under the kmenu theres add/remove programs but its probably better if you can learn a slightly more advanced version the package management (in the I think its system menu of kmenu)
[10:08] <ForgeAus> they have a very similar icon of a yellowish open box)
[10:08] <jgoss> ryks: amarok can play mp3's just install the xine extra plugins under multimedia.
[10:08] <ryks> k im in adept
[10:09] <Benji> !clean room
[10:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clean room - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:09] <ForgeAus> hehe theres several options, all those apps/plugins area available in Adept, depending on the repositories you have in your sources.list file
[10:09] <ryks> aham
[10:09] <jager> moo
[10:09] <ForgeAus> (you can edit that by the manage repositories menu item in Adept)
[10:10] <ForgeAus> for more info there (mostly just to add universe and/or multiverse repositories) theres a web page
[10:10] <ForgeAus> !multiverse
[10:10] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[10:10] <RawSewage> after a clean install, can you install libxine-extracodeds without changing the repos
[10:10] <RawSewage> without changing to multiverse
[10:10] <RawSewage> in Feisty
[10:11] <jager> yes
[10:11] <RawSewage> so Feisty has multiverse enabled automatically now
[10:12] <ryks> have a page called adminnistrator adept
[10:12] <ryks> frome here can i instal xine?
[10:15] <sito> hellow my brthers!!
[10:15] <jager> herro
[10:18] <htrednek> Hey all... I just upgraded to Feisty.  Can someone explain what happened to the manage repository section of adept?
[10:20] <markey> heya
[10:20] <ForgeAus> um htrednek I havn't gone feisty yet, but theres always editing the sources.list manually
[10:21] <markey> anyone know how to disable the screen blanking after 10 mins?
[10:21] <markey> disabling it permanently
[10:21] <ForgeAus> can't quite remember if its in /etc/apt/ or /var/apt ...
[10:22] <ForgeAus> its just a text file but you need root priveleges to edit it (so use sudo or kdesu if its a gui program to edit it)
[10:22] <ForgeAus> and of course your favourite text editor
[10:22] <Kazade_> Cant you just go to system settings -> Monitor & Display -> Power Saving and disable it there?
[10:22] <htrednek> yeah, I guess I can do that.  It just caught me off guard.
[10:22] <ForgeAus> (ie kedsu kate /etc/apt/sources.list )
[10:22] <ForgeAus> yeah I can understand why
[10:23] <htrednek> I'm used to just uncommenting a line or two, and now the whole list is gone from the gui.
[10:23] <markey> Kazade_: nope, there you can just disable the power off time, not the screen blanking
[10:23] <markey> screen blanking is stupid, it doesn't save any power
[10:23] <boyke> good afternoon everyone
[10:23] <ForgeAus> perhaps feisty uses its repositories differently?
[10:23] <ForgeAus> just to be safe you might want to check out what ubuntu's html docs say about it
[10:24] <ForgeAus> !repositories
[10:24] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu

[10:54] <nino> thnx!
[10:55] <praecox> hey guys
[10:55] <_4strO> nino: sudo apt-get install firefox
[10:55] <praecox> anyone familiar with ALSA on Kubuntu?
[10:55] <_4strO> (to install it)
[10:55] <boyke> i think its not a plugin but its an extension
[10:55] <praecox> my sound is very quiet here...
[10:55] <xavito> _4strO, ohhh :| I didn't expect that... are there any kubuntu-restricted-extras :S ?
[10:55] <_4strO> boyke: you're right
[10:56] <Gabz> ubuntu-restircted-extras works fine in kubuntu
[10:56] <alexicon> hiya
[10:56] <alexicon> can someone tell me the best way to get java runtime env for the web browser?
[10:56] <nino> Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:56] <nino> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:56] <nino> is only available from another source
[10:56] <Gabz> there is no kubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:56] <_4strO> xavito: i just tryed but seems no
[10:56] <_4strO> Gabz: http://pastebin.ca/455575
[10:57] <xavito> I really think the problem is with java... everytime I try to install something I get the same error...
[10:57] <_4strO> whenn he try to install the package
[10:58] <Gabz> _4strO: yep all you do is  do as it says " apt-get -f install"
[10:58] <boyke> i think i found a way to fix it
[10:58] <_4strO> boyke: in .mozilla/firefox/ you have a directory like rfghrg24fsdsdf.defaut
[10:58] <alexicon> is there a java package for web browsers in apt??
[10:58] <boyke> asto its already been fix
[10:58] <Gabz> his problem isn't ubuntu-restricted extras it's automatrix 2 is for ubuntu not kubuntu
[10:58] <boyke> i just run my firefox in safe mode
[10:58] <_4strO> boyke: :)
[10:59] <boyke> and disable all the extensions
[10:59] <boyke> thanks
[10:59] <_4strO> boyke: you did it :)
[10:59] <boyke> ya at last :)
[10:59] <Gabz> alexicon: yes
[10:59] <alexicon> whats that Gabz
[11:00] <Gabz> alexicon: you can install ubuntu-restricted-extras which will include java 6 ... or search for java in adept
[11:00] <alexicon> hrm
[11:01] <_4strO> sun-java6-plugin
[11:02] <alexicon> guess thats what you were talkin bout earlier, cant find ubuntu-restricted-extras on apt
[11:02] <alexicon> sun java6...
[11:02] <alexicon> i hate sun
[11:02] <alexicon> ive already got java installed, keep having to update this crap
[11:03] <_4strO> lol
[11:03] <Gabz> alexicon: make sure you have multiverse and universe enabled
[11:03] <alexicon> yeah been there... *sighs*
[11:04] <Gabz> xavito: did sudo apt-get -f install fix your problem ?
[11:05] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. How do I open archives that are password-encrypted in Ark?
[11:05] <xavito> Gabz: That would make me install python 2.4 and I'm running 2.5 by default isen't it ?
[11:06] <hoppy> Hi all, had trouble getting wifi broadcom 4138 working with edgy if I upgrade to Feisty will it cause problems? Ta.
[11:06] <Gabz> xavito: the problem you have is because you isntalled automatrix2 you can either fix the dependances it needs or uninstall automatrix 2
[11:06] <Shaddox> How do I open a password-protected archive in Ark?
[11:07] <Gabz> xavito: sorry automatix2
[11:07] <xavito> Gabz: but won't that wrek my system ? I mean... how will automatix2 work without the dependencies ?
[11:08] <Gabz> xavito:  well automatix2 can't work without it's dependences you fix that by in konsole sudo apt-get -f install
[11:10] <darren> anyone got win xp  running in qemu ?
[11:10] <_pedro> Hi everyone!
[11:10] <_pedro> what was the page to paste several lines of text and not to do it here?
[11:11] <flaccid> !pastebin
[11:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[11:11] <Gabz> xavito: i have to go you probably should   uninstall automatix2 then apt-get -f install to fix your java plugin problem then install automatix 2 again
[11:11] <_pedro> that's it
[11:11] <flaccid> get rid of automatix
[11:11] <xavito> ok... thanks Gabz :D
[11:11] <mastacreashun> hey people
[11:12] <_pedro> Well, It was only to ask a question
[11:12] <_pedro> I am now upgrading from Kubuntu edgy to feisty
[11:13] <Kite_DH> hey guys, my question is: why does my java in firefox not work?
[11:13] <Kite_DH> how to activate it
[11:13] <_pedro> The process is still in progress but I am seeing in the console a message that I don't like very much
[11:13] <_pedro> http://www.mypastebin.com/?code=1142808842
[11:13] <_pedro> Is there a problem with that?
[11:14] <flaccid> the mdadm one is not
[11:14] <flaccid> the whole thing is fine
[11:14] <flaccid> its just trying to cp files that you don't have. its for if you had it set up before
[11:15] <flaccid> and you don't have mdadm config coz you probably don't use raid or whatever
[11:15] <_pedro> so it doesn't matter
[11:15] <flaccid> nope
[11:15] <_pedro> thanks
[11:15] <flaccid> i would of had the same thing when i did the upgrade
[11:15] <_pedro> certainly I am not pacient
[11:15] <dark> how i can change kubuntu langue?
[11:15] <_pedro> I should wait until the progress is over to ask
[11:16] <_4strO> dar
[11:16] <flaccid> if there was an error that is bad it should exit from that point with an error level
[11:16] <_4strO> dark: systeme settings
[11:16] <_pedro> When it is finish I have some doubts about beryl
[11:17] <_pedro> until now, with edgy, I used nvidia driver beta and beryl from repositories
[11:17] <_pedro> with the upgrade and the new alliance between beryl and compiz
[11:17] <dark> _4strO: but i dont see my langu there
[11:17] <_pedro> How will be the issue?
[11:18] <dark> _4strO: it show that my langue is instaled there but i cant choise it from the list :(
[11:20] <_4strO> dark: what is your language ?
[11:21] <dark> _4strO: polish
[11:22] <_4strO> dark: dpkg -l | grep kde-i18n-pl
[11:23] <hoppy> DarkED: use adept to add kde-i18n-pl package then try system setting again
[11:23] <_4strO> dark: is there giving you a line of result ?
[11:23] <dark> _4strO: no
[11:24] <DarkED> hmm, what's that package supposed to fix again? ;)
[11:24] <_4strO> dark: sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-pl
[11:25] <_4strO> DarkED: think it was a mistake, the message warent for you
[11:25] <_4strO> werent
[11:26] <_4strO> dark: then after installation you will able to chose the right language

[11:58] <Toyd> install kiba-dock
[12:02] <hellblade> can't find it in aptitude. isn't kiba dock a different panel app? I don't want that. I want the new kubuntu launch effect (icon zoom when I click an icon)
[12:05] <StephZ> hell : did you try in kcontrol > icons > animated icons ?

[01:04] <debian> sudo... super user
[01:05] <debian> #sudo su -
[01:05] <debian> and enter password
[01:05] <crazy_bus> I would like to listen to a audiobook off one of the many payforsites on the internet.  However all the ones I've seen require the use of itunes or a special player in order to use their drm.  Is there anyway to get a linux player to play there or is there a shop with audio with no drm?
[01:05] <debian> then u can log on root
[01:06] <StephZ> debian : just >su and you can log as root
[01:06] <debian> no
[01:06] <debian> su -
[01:06] <StephZ> sudo is for a single action as root
[01:08] <robbbbbb> ahh
[01:08] <robbbbbb> oki thanks :)
[01:09] <chijin> crazy_bus: i'd rather look for a shop with no drm, than look for a player that understands drm
[01:12] <blenheim> I have kinda problems installing feisty fawn...
[01:12] <darren> dam it  my winxp keeps jamming  in qemu
[01:13] <StephZ> blen : what kind of pb?
[01:14] <blenheim> When i try to run it from cd it jams and won't go on. It doesn't even start X...
[01:14] <blenheim> and I tried to update it straight with adept and x stopped working...
[01:15] <StephZ> you tried update with a live cd ?
[01:15] <blenheim> kubuntu 7.04 desktop i386 cd image
[01:16] <darren> DOES ANYONE SEE MY TEXT ?
[01:16] <blenheim> yep
[01:16] <StephZ> you should try to reconfigure your xserver
[01:16] <blenheim> hmm
[01:16] <darren> me?
[01:17] <blenheim> where could i found documentation for how to conf xserver from scratch
[01:18] <StephZ> you just type in a konsole : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:18] <blenheim> ok
[01:20] <blenheim> as you can quess i'm not so familiar with these things... but whole life time to learn
[01:20] <StephZ> blen : everyone has started one day
[01:20] <blenheim> True
[01:21] <StephZ> just a question : did the fesity install was ok or not ?
[01:22] <blenheim> It seemed to be ok, no a single errorwindow
[01:22] <StephZ> and the xserver went black after reboot
[01:23] <blenheim> it just won't start xserver if trying and it gives you just plain console
[01:23] <blenheim> when started
[01:23] <StephZ> what's your videocard?
[01:23] <blenheim> Ati 9250
[01:23] <blenheim> radeon
[01:24] <blenheim> makes things simple...
[01:28] <StephZ> did you try dpkg-reconfigure?
[01:28] <boyke> hallo
[01:28] <blenheim> nope, lost my nerves and installed 6.10 to other disk :)
[01:28] <boyke> can anybody help me how to chmod 75
[01:28] <blenheim> I've gotta try it when i reboot
[01:29] <_4strO> boyke: chmod --help
[01:29] <StephZ> ok goof lock belnheim
[01:29] <_4strO> !chmod
[01:29] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:29] <blenheim> StephZ: thanks, i need all that luck
[01:30] <_4strO> blenheim: you just made a fresh install of feisty?
[01:30] <blenheim> yep
[01:32] <boyke> i cannot find it how to chmod 775
[01:33] <James_Mc_Gregor> chmod 775 <file>
[01:33] <James_Mc_Gregor> sudo if file's owner is root

[01:37] <_4strO> blenheim: and whenn you boot the liveCD no pb ?
[01:38] <blenheim> no, when i try to boot the liveCD then it jams
[01:38] <blenheim> it won't go on
[01:38] <_4strO> :/
[01:38] <StephZ> debian : apt-get install kde-i18n-ko
[01:38] <_4strO> blenheim: when did you download your liveCD ?
[01:38] <blenheim> Yesterday
[01:38] <debian> oh
[01:38] <debian> i c
[01:39] <debian> kde-i18n-ko, for x-windows?
[01:39] <StephZ> debian : x-windows?
[01:40] <debian> i meant the fonts are KDE?
[01:40] <StephZ> yes
[01:40] <debian> thanx i'll try to get that
[01:41] <StephZ> then you have to change your language in kcontrol (and logout if i remember)
[01:42] <blenheim> _4strO: has there been some faulty live packages then?

[01:43] <StephZ> debian : usplash is the logo you get when you boot
[01:44] <debian> grub splash?
[01:44] <StephZ> debian : after the grub
[01:44] <debian> ...?
[01:44] <StephZ> debian : usplash is the image you get after grub
[01:45] <StephZ> debian : so i consider your error as minor
[01:45] <_4strO> rstanca: did you install something particular ?
[01:45] <debian> y, i c
[01:45] <debian> no matter with the KDE language
[01:45] <rstanca> _4strO: no

[01:49] <StephZ> not sure about your request but you can try to launch gucharmap
[01:49] <debian> guchamap...
[01:49] <StephZ>   guchaRmap
[01:50] <debian> i c
[01:53] <rstanca> --reinstall kdm, then --purge kdm and install again, same :( what should i do next?
[01:54] <StephZ> rstanca : try install gdm ?
[01:54] <debian> thanx rstanca and stephz
[01:54] <rstanca> StephZ: funny :P
[01:54] <jarn> After installing to Feisty, X seems to be ignoring my Xorg.conf file.
[01:55] <jarn> I only have three resolutions enabled, and yet a lot of them show up when I type xrandr - and none of them is the one I want.
[01:55] <StephZ> rstanca: did you try dpkg-reconfigure kdm ?
[01:56] <rstanca> StephZ: yes
[01:56] <jarn> I want 1280x960@85 and the highest refresh rade it shows for that resolution is 1280x960@85
[01:56] <Hobbsee> jarn: er, reread?
[01:58] <pollyo> Hello
[01:58] <blenheim> hello
[01:58] <debian> hi blenheim
[01:58] <leleobhz> 09:02:12 < Xyc0> leleobhz: enable desktop effects and watch                                                                        _Lockee
[01:58] <leleobhz> how to do this in kubuntu
[02:00] <pollyo> Anyone know what the requirements of setting up a system to login over a network would be?
[02:00] <pollyo> I have an old machine with 64 megs of ram and wanted to use it to connect over the network to my main machine.  Would that work?
[02:01] <pestilence> pollyo: you can accomplish that with NIS
[02:01] <pollyo> I could use the applications on the main computer.
[02:01] <pollyo> pestilence: NIS?
[02:01] <pollyo> !nis
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <debian> kinda network sharing?
[02:01] <pestilence> pollyo: it allows you to share a password file over the network
[02:02] <debian> i also want to do that service
[02:02] <pestilence> or any other configuration file, for that matter
[02:02] <pollyo> pestilence: I want to run the application on the "main" computer or server and simply have an Xterminal login or share the computer?
[02:02] <debian> but haven't find yet
[02:02] <jarn> Hobbsee: ?
[02:02] <jarn> Hobbsee: What do you mean "reread"?
[02:02] <pollyo> I do not think that I could run a decent system on 64 megs of ram.
[02:02] <pestilence> pollyo: oh, well you could do that with X forwarding... ssh -X
[02:02] <Hobbsee> jarn: apparently you want the resolution you already have...
[02:02] <debian> 64mb... hmmm
[02:02] <pollyo> pestilence: What are the basics I would need for X forwarding.
[02:03] <pestilence> pollyo: X installed on both machines
[02:03] <pestilence> and ssh
[02:03] <debian> i guess 256mb
[02:03] <pestilence> e.g.  ssh -X machine2
[02:03] <pestilence> then type "xterm"
[02:03] <debian> startx ... cant got into x?
[02:04] <jarn> Hobbsee: Yes, but I want a higher refresh rate.
[02:04] <pollyo> pestilence: If it was on my own network would I need ssh?
[02:04] <jarn> Hobbsee: I want 85 and X will only let me use 54, even though 85 is in my conf file.
[02:04] <pestilence> pollyo: it's the easiest and most secure way, and unless your machines are rediculously slow it will work great.
[02:04] <pollyo> pestilence: Ok
[02:05] <pollyo> pestilence: I'll look into it.  Is there a distribution that would work best on such a low amount of ram?  Would that be a thin client?
[02:05] <StephZ> pollyo ->a minimal install of k/ubuntu + icewm will be great
[02:06] <pestilence> pollyo: or xubuntu
[02:06] <Hobbsee> jarn: ahh.  you didnt say that :P
[02:06] <pollyo> pestilence: What does xubuntu install for the windows system?
[02:06] <pestilence> pollyo: actually, if you are gonna go with icewm, i would suggest using the server/minimal install disk and then installing icewm
[02:06] <debian> first heard of xubuntu....-_-
[02:06] <pestilence> pollyo: xubuntu installs the XFCE desktop, which you will find is quite nice.
[02:06] <StephZ> i have xubuntu 128mo and it's a bit slow
[02:07] <pollyo> I'll have to look into both icewm and xfce
[02:07] <bosnix> hi everyone. i just installed kubuntu 7.04 earlier today and I'm trying to figure out how to get those cool 3D desktop efffects going. I installed a couple of baryl related packages I found in the add/remove apps but I dont know what more needs to be done. any tips?
[02:07] <pollyo> The server ubuntu installs the minimum system?
[02:07] <pestilence> pollyo: yes.
[02:07] <StephZ> pollyo : yes
[02:08] <pollyo> Ok.
[02:08] <pollyo> I guess I'll start with that.
[02:08] <pestilence> pollyo: use that, then apt-get install icewm....that will require minimal resources
[02:08] <pollyo> pestilence: Is icewm less resource hungery in comparison to XFCE?
[02:08] <pestilence> pollyo: yes
[02:08] <pollyo> Ok. Thank you
[02:09] <pestilence> pollyo: or fluxbox.  i personally prefer fluxbox.
[02:09] <ForgeAus> fluxbox is nice and simple
[02:09] <rstanca> StephZ: _4strO: found the issue, /home was 100% full :D thanks for your help
[02:09] <ForgeAus> gives a professional feel to it somehow too
[02:09] <ForgeAus> WindowMaker isn't too bad either
[02:09] <StephZ> rstanca : cool / it happened to me once ....
[02:10] <pollyo> Is there a package that will install a login over network and X windows application?
[02:10] <pollyo> Without all the extras that will not be needed?
[02:10] <pestilence> pollyo: if you install icewm, it will install X.  then install ssh-server on the remote machine, and you will be set.
[02:11] <debian> have to reboot
[02:11] <debian> come again
[02:11] <pestilence> you may also want to look into NX
[02:11] <pollyo> pestilence: Ok.  I'm already set with the ssh server.
[02:11] <pestilence> but that is more complicated
[02:12] <pollyo> pestilence: Ok.  I'll start with the server ubuntu and icewm.
[02:12] <pollyo> Thank you all for the suggestions.
[02:12] <orak3l> why is there no documentation in eclipse? i ve installed all from repositorys :(
[02:12] <pollyo> Now to download the server cd.
[02:13] <StephZ> leleobhz : still here?
[02:13] <Hobbsee> orak3l: man eclipse?
[02:14] <jarn> Hobbsee: Yes, I did say that.
[02:15] <jarn> Hobbsee: Oh wait, I did but I typoed. :P
[02:15] <pollyo> They have an option for computers with less than 256 meg of ram anyone familiar with that?
[02:15] <Hobbsee> jarn: heh, yes :D
[02:16] <pollyo> The download page doesn't appear to support torrents.
[02:17] <Hobbsee> pollyo: should do.  they must be harder to find...
[02:18] <pollyo> I'm downloading ubuntu-7.04-server-i386.iso
[02:18] <Hobbsee> pollyo: oh.  pick your mirror first, then pick the torrent
[02:19] <pollyo> Hobbsee: Where would I find the torrent?  It appears to be simply downoading from ftp or http on the ubuntu site.  Doe they have a link for torrents on ubuntu's site?
[02:19] <Ahmadinejad> aldin:
[02:19] <Hobbsee> pollyo: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php
[02:19] <Hobbsee> pollyo: pick your location first
[02:20] <aldin> Ahmadinejad, say
[02:20] <StephZ> pollyo : what do you want to download?
[02:20] <Hobbsee> [22:18]  <pollyo> I'm downloading ubuntu-7.04-server-i386.iso
[02:20] <pollyo> StephZ: The server version.
[02:20] <StephZ> ok
[02:20] <humbolto> which player could I use as an alternative to playing system sounds through arts? aplay does not seem to support OGG.
[02:20] <Hobbsee> alsa?
[02:20] <pollyo> The standard download is slow I was looking to see if there was a torrent download.  I'm going to check out that kubuntu download page.
[02:21] <Ahmadinejad> aldin: Join: #PM-aldin
[02:21] <Ahmadinejad> /J #PM-aldin
[02:21] <blenheim> there should be torrent file for that
[02:21] <Ahmadinejad> for pm
[02:21] <Ahmadinejad> for i cant pm people on this server
[02:22] <ForgeAus> get kubuntu isntead! :) its nicer :) imho
[02:22] <humbolto> Hobbsee: alsa is the sound card driver. ARTS uses alsa. aplay uses ALSA. but ALSA by itself does not support any decoding (neither mp3 nor OGG)
[02:22] <ForgeAus> (okok well its the same just kde instead of gnome, but most people here know that
[02:22] <humbolto> how can I play my file through gstreamer?
[02:22] <humbolto> is there a console way?
[02:23] <pollyo> What is the difference between the server version and the alternate install?
[02:23] <Hobbsee> humbolto: er, good point
[02:23] <ForgeAus> humbolto, does: gstreamer filename work?
[02:23] <humbolto> ForgeAus: there is not gstreamer command
[02:23] <StephZ> server :for server / alternate comes with direct intall (no livecd, OEM install)
[02:24] <StephZ> it depends what you want
[02:24] <ForgeAus> ok some audio player apps have a console, in there you can probably do media commands, also check adept for gstreamer to see if theres a curses/ncurses (ala cli) tool for it
[02:24] <orak3l> is it possible to pick servers from a list like in mIRC with konversation?
[02:24] <ForgeAus> other than that its unlikely
[02:25] <ForgeAus> orak, you kinda have to build it but yes
[02:25] <ForgeAus> the initial window that opens is a server window you can select the server from
[02:25] <ForgeAus> and connect, so that works like mirc's server list
[02:25] <ForgeAus> but you ahve to build it manually
[02:25] <ForgeAus> (ie add servers to it)
[02:26] <ForgeAus> unless theres a file it saves it to somewhere... I havn't gone looking for one
[02:26] <ForgeAus> (but I highly doubt if there is that it would be called servers.ini :) lol
[02:27] <ForgeAus> you could always copy paste individual entries of a downloaded servers.ini from mirc anyway (its just a text file)
[02:27] <pollyo> BBL
[02:27] <ForgeAus> or you could browse the web to discover some irc servers that may not even be on the list!
[02:28] <ForgeAus> (servers.ini is in no way a definitive list of all existent irc servers)
[02:40] <humbolto> I want to use "gst-launch playbin uri=file:///uri" to play my system notifications. what is the %xy var for the file uri?

[02:54] <mc__> koriel: yes it is
[02:54] <Gabz> mrcreativity: which driver are you useing ?
[02:55] <koriel> mc__: check libc6-dev-i386

[02:56] <tibbar> koriel: I think so came out past friday
[02:57] <tibbar> koriel: I get this error when I try compile wine, if that helps
[02:58] <koriel> tibbar: yeah, I remember reading it in the ubuntu forums
[02:59] <mc__> koriel: why?
[02:59] <koriel> mc__: what u mean?
[02:59] <mc__> koriel: you said i should check libc6-dev-i386
[02:59] <koriel> check if you have it...
[02:59] <JuJuBee> How can I debug why sendmail is not working?
[02:59] <koriel> if not sudo apt-get it
[03:00] <koriel> JuJuBee: tail -f /var/log/mail.err
[03:00] <JuJuBee> Thanks.
[03:00] <koriel> probably is the hostname issue
[03:00] <koriel> anyway got to go buy a new hard disk...there goes 200 euros...stupid computers
[03:01] <JuJuBee> koriel : nothing shows up when I use a php mail function...  I thought php mail used sendmail?
[03:02] <koriel> stupid question but is sendmail running?
[03:02] <koriel> also check /var/log/mail.log
[03:02] <koriel> you may have usefull messages ther
[03:02] <koriel> e
[03:03] <JuJuBee> My bad, looks like sendmail not running.
[03:04] <JuJuBee> Whish those needles weren't so damn small...
[03:09] <darren> anyonE?
[03:09] <Tm_T> sorry, don't know who "anyonE" is
[03:09] <Tm_T> who or what
[03:10] <darren> u know wnything about xp on unbuntu ?
[03:10] <Tm_T> er?
[03:10] <SkyblastAtWork> hehe, the whole point of using Ubuntu is to not use XP ;)
[03:11] <Tm_T> SkyblastAtWork: false
[03:11] <Tm_T> SkyblastAtWork: that's just extra
[03:11] <darren> yes,  but i need xp for some progs
[03:11] <SkyblastAtWork> Yes, thanks for your correction.
[03:11] <Tm_T> darren: just say what exactly is your problem and we'll try to help :)
[03:11] <darren> thanks
[03:12] <darren> ive installed  qemu
[03:12] <darren> and i have now saved win xp in emu
[03:12] <darren> so now
[03:12] <Gabz> vmware is the other option
[03:12] <sivaji> my feisty cant handle dvd ple tell me the plugin to support dvd
[03:12] <darren> xp loads up  but stops at the login   because its trying to validate the software
[03:13] <SkyblastAtWork> Do you have the XP virtual machine networked?
[03:13] <darren> i think that is the problem
[03:13] <darren> but i dont know how to do that
[03:13] <darren> networks stuff on linux  baffles me
[03:14] <darren> the pop up says this
[03:14] <darren> a problem is peventing windows from accurately checking the license for this computer
[03:14] <darren> so  i gather  that its trying to go online to check the license
[03:14] <SkyblastAtWork> Yeah, no internet will cause that error.
[03:14] <darren> dam
[03:14] <SkyblastAtWork> I don't know about qemu. Maybe someone else does.
[03:14] <darren> what program do u use?
[03:15] <SkyblastAtWork> I use vmware server, though and it works great. You might want to try that .
[03:15] <darren> is it open source?
[03:15] <SkyblastAtWork> I'm afraid not, but it does work well.
[03:15] <darren> hmm
[03:15] <darren> have u got xp running on it ?
[03:16] <SkyblastAtWork> I have 2000 running
[03:16] <SkyblastAtWork> as well as a few misc Linux distros
[03:17] <blenheim> dangf
[03:18] <blenheim> it workd a little while but then it did crush again
[03:18] <darren> why ?
[03:18] <darren> i mean
[03:18] <darren> cool
[03:18] <darren> did the win  version  be stable ?
[03:18] <darren> which vmware u have ?
[03:19] <SkyblastAtWork> It's about as stable as it would be on a real machine. I've had no problems caused by the virtualization(other than it not being totally native speed of course)
[03:19] <SkyblastAtWork> I use VMWare Server, the free one
[03:19] <blenheim> I tried to set up two screens and that is where x said it was too much for it
[03:19] <blenheim> I restarted it and it didn't come up again
[03:19] <darren> i thpough u had to pay for it ?
[03:20] <blenheim> after boot it said that error, no device found or something
[03:20] <SkyblastAtWork> There are some versions of VMWare you pay for, such as workstation and gsx server, but VMWare Server is available at no cost. You do have to fill out a little form to get a serial number for it, though
[03:21] <flaccid> SkyblastAtWork: where do you do that
[03:21] <darren> wow
[03:22] <darren> which one do i get  for ubuntu   i mean the file type ?
[03:22] <Skrot> Hi, where is the "Restricted Devices Manager"-tool located in kubuntu?
[03:22] <SkyblastAtWork> darren: Here's a good guide on the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server
[03:23] <darren> wow  thannk u
[03:24] <Kazade_> whats the difference between vmware server and vmware player? are they the same thing? vmware player doesnt allow creation of vms does vmware server?
[03:24] <darren> thats ok   my kubuntu  didnt install the player
[03:24] <darren> lol
[03:24] <Gabz> Skrot: if you find out tell me
[03:25] <Skrot> I've seen numerous people ask the same question the last couple of days..
[03:25] <Skrot> Makes me wonder if it even exists in kubuntu
[03:25] <beanie> does anybody know if thunderbird2 comes into the kubuntu-reps?
[03:25] <Gabz> beanie: it's not there yet i don't think
[03:25] <beanie> :(((
[03:25] <flaccid> !find thunderbird
[03:25] <darren> im downloading the vm  now
[03:25] <ubotu> Found: mozilla-thunderbird, mozilla-thunderbird-dev, mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail, mozilla-thunderbird-inspector, mozilla-thunderbird-typeaheadfind (and 48 others)
[03:26] <flaccid> !info mozilla-thunderbird
[03:26] <ubotu> mozilla-thunderbird: Mozilla Thunderbird standalone mail client. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 10635 kB, installed size 29700 kB
[03:26] <beanie> thats thunderbird 1.5
[03:26] <flaccid> i guess thats not thunderbird2
[03:26] <flaccid> indeed it is beanie. so no.
[03:26] <beanie> i want tb2
[03:26] <flaccid> well go and d/l it then
[03:26] <Gabz> Skrot: i don't think it does...
[03:27] <Skrot> well that sucks..
[03:27] <beanie> flaccid: i dont like installing apps without the packagemanager :(
[03:27] <beanie> is der a deb?
[03:27] <beanie> tb2 is not as .deb avbailable
[03:27] <flaccid> if there was a deb, it would probably be in the repos
[03:27] <Gabz> Skrot: found it
[03:27] <beanie> :(((((((((((((
[03:27] <flaccid> so you will need to build
[03:27] <Skrot> nice! Where?
[03:28] <Gabz> Skrot: in konsole type sudo restricted-manager
[03:28] <SkyblastAtWork> Thunderbird 2 came out after the repos froze, unfortunately
[03:28] <beanie> flaccid: ok :((((((((((((
[03:28] <beanie> tb2 will only be in gutsy?
[03:28] <flaccid> beanie: venture into the unknown and compile
[03:28] <SkyblastAtWork> Is there not a binary tar.gz available for Thunderbird like there is in Firefox?
[03:28] <sivaji> what is clipboard?
[03:29] <flaccid> im looking now
[03:29] <beanie> SkyblastAtWork: yes it is. but it doesnt recognize my profile
[03:29] <Skrot> Gabz: Not even installed here..
[03:29] <StephZ> how can i launch for example kpdf on my KDE from tty1 ?
[03:29] <Gabz> Skrot: i actaully think i went to the effort to install it
[03:29] <flaccid> yeah builds: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/<IP_ADDRESS>/releasenotes/#contributedbuilds
[03:29] <david> hi there, i have an ralink (rt61), set up as ra0. i have noticed that in ifconfig that it periodically has collisions. is this normal?
[03:29] <Gabz> Gabz: so i don't think it's installed in kubuntu by default
[03:29] <flaccid> beanie: recognise you profile
[03:30] <Gabz> Skrot: see upper post to myself :S
[03:30] <tolonuga> hi. does anyone have a fresh (k)ubuntu installation? can you type "mount" and tell me if /proc/bus/usb is mounted on your system or not?
[03:30] <ubuntu__> halo
[03:30] <Skrot> Gabz: weak. But it worked nice
[03:30] <ubuntu__> im new on linux
[03:30] <ubuntu__> can anyone tell me how to edit grub
[03:30] <blenheim> ubuntu__: you're not alone... :D
[03:31] <Gabz> Skrot: very weak kubuntu gets the short stick too much...
[03:31] <ubuntu__> so we cannot edit grub?
[03:31] <Skrot> indeed, Gabz
[03:31] <StephZ> ubuntu_> it's in /boot/grub/menu.list
[03:31] <flaccid> ubuntu__: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:31] <ubuntu__> ow
[03:31] <ubuntu__> ok i will try
[03:32] <flaccid> StephZ: stop being such a good helper :p
[03:32] <ubuntu__> but my grub is  damage
[03:32] <ubuntu__> can i fix it
[03:32] <StephZ> lol@flaccid
[03:32] <beanie> grub-install
[03:32] <flaccid> define damage
[03:32] <ubuntu__> i cannot boot
[03:32] <david> no one uses a ralink wireless card?
[03:32] <david> crazy
[03:32] <flaccid> ubuntu__: whats the error
[03:32] <ubuntu__> error 15
[03:32] <flaccid> ah
[03:32] <flaccid> there is an update grub binary or scrkpt, StephZ you remember?
[03:32] <ubuntu__> i think it cannot run grub
[03:33] <SkyblastAtWork> update-grub?
[03:33] <flaccid> ubuntu__: look up grub error 15 and see what that error is
[03:33] <ubuntu__> how?
[03:33] <flaccid> SkyblastAtWork: something like that
[03:33] <ubuntu__> where can i find that?
[03:33] <SkyblastAtWork> ubuntu__: sudo update-grub in a terminal
[03:33] <SkyblastAtWork> see if that helps any
[03:33] <ubuntu__> i boot with live cd
[03:34] <ubuntu__> no grub directory find
[03:34] <ubuntu__> i run fsck before
[03:34] <ubuntu__> and my electrical is shut down
[03:34] <ubuntu__> then i must restart my pc and thats how it started
[03:35] <flaccid> error 15 looks like missing menu.lst
[03:35] <flaccid> or other grub files
[03:35] <flaccid> see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43591
[03:35] <ubuntu__> so i must re install the kubuntu?
[03:35] <Briareos1> hi! i have 3 audio devices in my computer - where/how can i tell mozilla firefox to use (eg.) the 2nd?
[03:36] <flaccid> ubuntu__: like i said see the link
[03:36] <aspedia> !nfs
[03:36] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:36] <flaccid> ubuntu__: what does file /boot/grub/menu.lst return?
[03:36] <ubuntu__> ok thank
[03:36] <ubuntu__> i boot with live cd
[03:37] <ubuntu__> flaccid i dont get it
[03:37] <blenheim> but if you try to look from the disk
[03:37] <flaccid> i don't understand you ubuntu__
[03:38] <ubuntu__> it doesnt have any folder yet cause im booting with live cd
[03:38] <Gabz> !KB
[03:38] <ubotu> While it is common in the computing field to consider 1kB (one kilobyte) = 1024B (1024 bytes), the correct equation, according to standard IEEE 1541, is 1kB = 1000B. On the other hand, 1KiB (one kibibyte) = 1024B  -  Same goes for all multiples
[03:38] <ubuntu__> please tell me how to get do /boot/grub/menulist
[03:38] <Gabz> !kb
[03:38] <ubotu> While it is common in the computing field to consider 1kB (one kilobyte) = 1024B (1024 bytes), the correct equation, according to standard IEEE 1541, is 1kB = 1000B. On the other hand, 1KiB (one kibibyte) = 1024B  -  Same goes for all multiples
[03:38] <ubuntu__> but my grub isnt work i think
[03:39] <StephZ> ubuntu_ did you try fsck /dev/hda1
[03:39] <ubuntu__> in terminal >stephz
[03:39] <ubuntu__> ?
[03:39] <StephZ> yep
[03:40] <ubuntu__> fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006
[03:40] <ubuntu__> no such directory
[03:41] <StephZ> ubuntu_
[03:41] <ubuntu__> ya
[03:41] <StephZ> where is your ubuntu distro installed?
[03:41] <ubuntu__> in /sda2
[03:41] <ubuntu__> i mean
[03:41] <ubuntu__> in /sda3
[03:42] <StephZ> fsck /dev/sda
[03:42] <StephZ> oups
[03:42] <StephZ> fsck /dev/sda2
[03:42] <ubuntu__> same thing happens
[03:42] <StephZ> you can also try /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda2
[03:42] <SkyblastAtWork> What happens when you try sda3?
[03:43] <ubuntu__> mkdir: cannot create directory `/boot/grub': Permission denied
[03:43] <StephZ> do it as su
[03:44] <StephZ> sudo /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda2
[03:44] <flaccid> soz, im back.
[03:45] <flaccid> yeah the reasone before ubuntu__ is becausse of livecd. you would have to mount. but you don't need to as StephZ has shown the solution using a param for grub-install
[03:45] <ubuntu__> flaccid please tell me how can i get access to hdd
[03:45] <ubuntu__> stephz
[03:46] <ubuntu__> it same thing happens
[03:46] <StephZ> sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[03:46] <flaccid> ubuntu__: if you fix grub you should be able to boot if the entry is right in menu.lst and the install is ok
[03:46] <Murganhjga> ubuntu__ ?
[03:46] <flaccid> but you can mount as StephZ advises **
[03:46] <darren> dam the vm isnt working
[03:46] <StephZ> flaccid ;-)
[03:46] <flaccid> you might wanna mount to /mnt/something
[03:46] <Murganhjga> ubuntu_ ?
[03:47] <ubuntu__> this is what happens special device /dev/sda2 does not exist
[03:47] <flaccid> right
[03:47] <flaccid> wich would make sense
[03:47] <flaccid> what does file /dev/sda2 return?
[03:48] <ubuntu__> no such file or directory
[03:48] <salaah> can someone please help me with my display driver? i have an nvidia,
[03:49] <salaah> i tried updating it using the repositories but that messed up the display
[03:50] <flaccid> ubuntu__: pastebin ls /dev | grep sda
[03:50] <ubuntu__> i give up so i must reinstall kubuntu now
[03:50] <ubuntu__> i guess
[03:50] <mrcreativity> anyone?
[03:50] <flaccid> patience
[03:50] <mrcreativity> i just reinstalled kubuntu
[03:50] <ubuntu__> command not found
[03:51] <ubuntu__> mrcreativity i used nvidia
[03:51] <SkyblastAtWork> !pastebin | ubuntu__
[03:51] <ubuntu__> too
[03:51] <ubotu> ubuntu__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[03:51] <mrcreativity> ubuntu__: on kubuntu?
[03:51] <ubuntu__> ya
[03:51] <SkyblastAtWork> I think he might have tried to use pastbin as a command
[03:51] <flaccid> which command
[03:51] <flaccid> you should have ls and grep..
[03:51] <mrcreativity> i need helpo with kubuntu
[03:51] <flaccid> !ask
[03:51] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:52] <ubuntu__> all come up with command not found
[03:52] <mrcreativity> can someone help me out? i tried updating thru adept the last time and it messed up my display
[03:52] <SkyblastAtWork> ls /dev comes up as command not found ?

[03:53] <SkyblastAtWork> mrcreativity: I don't have an nvidia card, but have you looked at your xorg.conf after it messes up to see if you can see anything wrong?
[03:53] <ubuntu__> pastebin?
[03:53] <SkyblastAtWork> Maybe it's not detecting the right resolutions
[03:54] <pagan_> eloo
[03:54] <mrcreativity> SkyblastAtWork: i dont have enough expericne in linux to check my xorg,conf and see if anything is wrong.

[03:54] <JuJuBee> OK, sendmail is running... I am new to this.  I guess I need to use domain name?
[03:55] <flaccid> JuJuBee: what are you going on about?
[03:55] <JuJuBee> unable to qualify my own domain name (localhost) -- using short name
[03:55] <ubuntu__> i type fdisk -l
[03:55] <ubuntu__> and nothing happeng it come up with a prompt
[03:55] <JuJuBee> Trying to get sendmail running on my laptop so I can use it to test web stuff... I use php mail() for some apps.
[03:55] <JuJuBee> Don't want to have to upload to production server just to test..
[03:56] <flaccid> JuJuBee: you can google that. you need to set your canonical host name up correctly - not use localhost
[03:56] <SkyblastAtWork> ubuntu__: What about sudo fdisk -l
[03:56] <flaccid> ubuntu__: sorry. sudo fdisk -l
[03:56] <JuJuBee> K, I will google that, I didn't know where to start looking.
[03:56] <JuJuBee> Thanks
[03:57] <ubuntu__> where can i paste the result?
[03:57] <flaccid> JuJuBee: its very common. its on google. otherwise #sendmail . set the hostname of the box to a FQDN
[03:57] <SkyblastAtWork> ubuntu__: pastebin

[04:16] <darren> see  if u look at the webpage
[04:17] <darren> i am now down were it says installation note,   just above  vmware server
[04:17] <darren> it says my vmware server is istalled but not config correctly
[04:18] <SkyblastAtWork> did you do the reconfigure parts at the bottom and restart the vmware init.d?
[04:18] <shmoolik> helllo
[04:18] <shmoolik> Ktorrent download very slowly on my machine
[04:18] <darren> yes
[04:18] <SkyblastAtWork> hmmmm
[04:19] <shmoolik> i checked the pots tetting and stuff ... and it isi all okay
[04:19] <SkyblastAtWork> What does running vmware in a terminal output?
[04:19] <shmoolik> so i need to check anouther thingy ???
[04:19] <darren> what do i type for that ?
[04:19] <SkyblastAtWork> just go into a terminal and type vmware
[04:19] <darren> vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
[04:19] <darren> for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
[04:19] <darren> /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
[04:19] <SkyblastAtWork> hmmm
[04:20] <SkyblastAtWork> okay, do sudo vmware-config.pl
[04:20] <darren> tried that  but wont let me in
[04:20] <SkyblastAtWork> What does it say for that?
[04:20] <darren> hang on  it just let me in
[04:20] <darren> im in
[04:20] <darren> its asking about icons
[04:21] <darren> u know when i downloaded the program, i svaed it to  the desktop
[04:21] <darren> would this dont anything to cause probs?
[04:21] <SkyblastAtWork> Don't worry about that. The install puts all the files in the right place
[04:21] <icecruncher> what is the java plugin for ff, or can you install it in the browser?
[04:21] <SkyblastAtWork> you can pretty much answer the defaults to the questions
[04:21] <monteslu> question: I did an install of ubuntu, then installed kde aftewards through synaptic... do I essentially have kubuntu? Seems like gnome has things that kde doesn't like the tool to install Nvidia drivers
[04:22] <roter_kobold> hello
[04:22] <darren> i did that
