[08:58] <Raul12> u r still nub about os windows is best in its own sphere and so as linux in it own sphere
[08:58] <Ashex> my eyes bleed at the sight of your grammar
[08:59] <Momal> yea but im not in that sphere of windows therefore its crap in my words :)
[08:59] <llxcamxll> well if this linux so great why can't i just install stuff with a simple click
[08:59] <Raul12> take some cotton@ashex
[09:00] <Momal2> you can lol!
[09:00] <Ashex> beh?
[09:00] <llxcamxll> like i just downloaded quake2.tar.gz, it extracted itself and stuff but like it tells me i gotta do something about libraries
[09:00] <arunkale> hahahahaha
[09:00] <arunkale> that's a golden quote
[09:00] <arunkale> "yea but im not in that sphere of windows therefore its crap in my words :)"
[09:00] <arunkale> ahahahaha
[09:00] <llxcamxll> you a golden moron
[09:01] <llxcamxll> LoadLibrary("ref_softx.so") failed: can't open /etc/quake2.conf (required for location of ref libraries)
[09:01] <Momal2> llxcamxll its called adept... umm well as for quake2 its no different from windows you having to install video drivers or new driectx now is it ?
[09:01] <Momal2> plus you probly find that what you downlaoded you need something else with it ^_-
[09:02] <llxcamxll> well like i'm new to linux..but everything i have ever tried to install outside of adept has simply been a nightmare
[09:02] <llxcamxll> like what the
[09:04] <llxcamxll> like look at that, linux version of quake 2 comes without pak0.pak
[09:04] <llxcamxll> what a farse
[09:05] <Momal2> its because your meant to have your own copy of quake2.. so you copy that in with the contents of that zip
[09:05] <Momal2> woot my linux me just joined
[09:06] <Momal> yay
[09:12] <swatgoss> someone know the command to run KDEWallet GUI ?
[09:12] <swatgoss> from Kmenu > launch apps
[09:15] <SAngeli> what happened to the application bar that I would get when hit Alt-Tab in kubuntu?
[09:15] <okto> swatgoss: if its not available in Kmenu, you can add it witk kmenuedit/menu editor...kwalletmanager is the name of app, you can run it from konsole
[09:16] <swatgoss> thx
[09:16] <swatgoss> just want the name to enter in console :p
[09:16] <swatgoss> or in the "executer une commande" in Kmenu
[09:16] <swatgoss> under Actions bar
[09:18] <okto> swatgoss: ok np,..if you dont already know, you can "guess" the name by type kw in konsole then hit tab, it gives you available command beginning with kw for example
[09:19] <swatgoss> autocompletion ?
[09:19] <okto> swatgoss: exactly
[09:19] <swatgoss> wasnt aware of this :p
[09:19] <swatgoss> i tried "kwallet" "kdewallet" "kwmanag" "kdewalletmanager"
[09:20] <swatgoss> but not kwalletmanager :p
[09:21] <swatgoss> so, before trying a bture force search, i asked here :p
[09:21] <swatgoss> *brute*
[09:22] <themadscotsman> ok...i have a dumb question......how do i install another distro to HD with this one w/o ruining my set-up i have now
[09:24] <okto> swatgoss: available commands usually reside in /usr/bin, so you can restrict the *brute* search there...:)
[09:24] <swatgoss> oki
[09:25] <themadscotsman> can anyone answer my ????
[09:26] <okto> themadscotsman: you can make separate partition, install the new one there
[09:26] <okto> themadscotsman: if thet is the case
[09:27] <themadscotsman> i only had a / and swap....will i have to resize
[09:28] <okto> themadscotsman: yes, you can use qtparted to make new partitions,
[09:28] <themadscotsman> and where would you put thr grub bootloader
[09:29] <okto> themadscotsman: in MBR, if you want to make it easier, just use the ubuntu grub you already have then add the new distro there
[09:29] <themadscotsman> ok...never mind....think i'll just install my other HD so i don't jack up what i have installed already

[09:45] <Admiral_Chicago> arunkale, does that work?

[09:48] <Milkyy> What's the hotkey in Konqueror to place the "marker" at the google search bar? And is anyone actually using konqueror for browsing?
[09:49] <Jucato> Milkyy: Ctrl+S ?
[09:50] <Milkyy> didn't work
[09:50] <sinpath>  which cd ripper do you ppl most prefure to use?
[09:51] <Jucato> hm..
[09:51] <Milkyy> well the one that comes with kubuntu seeems fine :)
[09:51] <arunkale> Admiral_Chicago: ti worked

[09:51] <Jucato> !CDRipping
[09:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about CDRipping - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:51] <arunkale> Mikey: he's having some trouble usig KAudiocdripper
[09:51] <Jucato> err...
[09:51] <Jucato> why not use Konqueror?
[09:51] <Jucato> sinpath: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[09:51] <arunkale> to rip cds?
[09:52] <Milkyy> if that hotkey doesn't exist I'm not going to use konqueror. And it's mostly about firefox's extensions
[09:52] <sinpath> well the ripper on kinux dosnt svae them ....inface it deletes them as soon as its riped
[09:52] <Milkyy> although I'm hesitating to use firefox since it seems that konqueror is pretty well embedded in kde :)
[09:52] <leleobhz> hello all
[09:52] <Jucato> Milkyy: I'm sure it's supposed to exist, at least in the Configure Shortcuts...
[09:53] <Milkyy> ok
[09:53] <leleobhz> ive removed my K button from bar
[09:53] <leleobhz> how i can put it back again?
[09:53] <Jucato> leleobhz: right-click on the panel > Add Applet to Panel > and look for K Menu
[09:54] <Jucato> Milkyy: although if I'm going to search in Google, I just press F6 then "gg:<search terms>"
[09:54] <Milkyy> okey
[09:54] <Milkyy> that seems like a pain :P
[09:54] <Jucato> Milkyy: which part seems to be a pain?
[09:54] <Milkyy> I recnofigured that 'CTRL+S' to CTRL+K and now it seems to work fine :)
[09:54] <Jucato> ah
[09:55] <Milkyy> ilkyy: although if I'm going to search in Google, I just press F6 then "gg:<search terms>"
[09:55] <Milkyy> that part
[09:55] <leleobhz> Jucato: thanks!
[09:55] <sinpath> damn well i do all this in the morning i need sleep thanks <arunkale>
[09:55] <Jucato> hm.. I don't get why, because if you're going to press Ctrl+K, and type in your search terms, isn't that the same as pressing F6 and typing in gg:my search ?
[09:55] <arunkale> you're welcome
[09:55] <sinpath> night all
[09:56] <arunkale> night
[09:56] <Seagoon> hi, can someone please tell me how to change hdd labels in Kubuntu?
[09:57] <Milkyy> not for me, Jucato. Pressing F6 makes me have to move my up to that button, while in the case of CTRL-K I can just press those buttons instantly. And I'm also so used to it in Firefox :P
[09:57] <Milkyy> I really miss Firefox's extensions though
[09:57] <Jucato> Milkyy: I forgot, F6 = Ctrl+L and L is beside K
[09:57] <Milkyy> especially Foxmarks
[09:57] <Milkyy> yeah
[09:57] <Milkyy> exactly
[09:58] <Cherries> Win :D
[09:58] <Jucato> no, I meant, Pressing Ctrl+L in Konqueror is the same as pressing F6...
[09:58] <Cherries> Im new to IRC :)
[09:58] <arunkale> I would like to know too Seagoon
[09:58] <Milkyy> yeah
[09:58] <Jucato> but anyway... why not use Firefox? it's good too (I use Konqueror, most of the time, though)
[09:59] <Seagoon> Can't seem to find much on Google about it
[09:59] <Admiral_Chicago> Jucato, firefox ftw
[09:59] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: I'm beginning to think that way... but still love Konqueror :P
[10:00] <Milkyy> Jucato: well I only have 1GB RAM so it feels like a waste of it to have both konqueror and firefox running at the same time (if I for instance want to file-browse...)
[10:00] <Milkyy> that's mainly why not
[10:00] <Admiral_Chicago> Konqui is sooo slow
[10:00] <Jucato> we have the same amount of RAM, and it's not that heavy.
[10:00] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: as a browser or as an app?
[10:01] <Milkyy> I guess
[10:01] <Admiral_Chicago> Jucato, browser
[10:01] <Admiral_Chicago> i like the GUI so much better
[10:01] <Nik001> hi there
[10:01] <Admiral_Chicago> and extensions are where its at
[10:01] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: not really Konqui's fault though... :(
[10:02] <Milkyy> Oh well, thanks Jucato :)
[10:02] <Admiral_Chicago> for file browsing. Konqui all the way
[10:02] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: try this: e2label
[10:02] <Admiral_Chicago>  i just don't feel comfortable with it
[10:02] <Jucato> it would be nice to have more extensions for Konqui, like Firefox. but I think there might be security issues there, specially since Konqi is also a file manager...
[10:02] <Nik001> I have problems watching the last apple webcast with firefox- anyone has the same problem?
[10:02] <Milkyy> Yeah :/
[10:02] <Milkyy> probably
[10:03] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: For Ext2/Ext3 filesystems
[10:03] <arunkale> is there an equivalent to expose (os x) for kubuntu
[10:03] <Nik001> can you help me?
[10:03] <Jucato> arunkale: kompose
[10:03] <Cherries> Could anyone teach me the basics of IRC?
[10:03] <Cherries> Or point me in the direction of a tutorial
[10:03] <Seagoon> motorcitymadman: will I have to reboot to see the changes?
[10:04] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: For ReiserFS:reiserfstune --label NewLabel <device>
[10:04] <arunkale> Jucato: kompos?
[10:04] <Milkyy> what is expose arunkale?
[10:04] <arunkale> kompose*?
[10:04] <themadscotsman> ok i have kubuntu install only have / and swap....want to install another distro....if i re-size hda1 will it destroy my existing data
[10:04] <Jucato> !kompose
[10:04] <ubotu> kompose: full screen task manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.3-1.3 (dapper), package size 92 kB, installed size 432 kB
[10:04] <arunkale> expose is an app in os x, which lets you switch easily between app windows
[10:04] <Milkyy> ah ok
[10:04] <Jucato> arunkale: I know.
[10:05] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: not sure, but i wood say not
[10:05] <Seagoon> motorcitymadman: its an ext3 partition, might try rebooting - thanks for your help
[10:05] <Jucato> arunkale:  would you care to take a look at it first?
[10:05] <Nik001> anyone is able to watch the last apple webcast with ubuntu?
[10:05] <arunkale> Milkyy asked
[10:05] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: try without reboot
[10:05] <arunkale> Jucato: yeah, checking it out
[10:05] <arunkale> do you use it at all?
[10:05] <Jucato> arunkale: I've set my Alt+Tab to use it
[10:05] <Seagoon> motorcitymadman: just did, still appearing in kde as original volume label
[10:06] <motorcitymadman> Seagoon: maybe just log out
[10:06] <Admiral_Chicago> arunkale, maybe XGL?
[10:06] <swatgoss> is there an easy way to configure Samba ?
[10:06] <Jucato> Admiral_Chicago: that's too much for a simple expose-clone...
[10:07] <Admiral_Chicago> Jucato, i suppose but it's a lot of eyecandy, wihch is waht i think Macs are
[10:07] <Jucato> well, they have those without XGL :P
[10:07] <Seagoon> motorcitymadman: I'll give it a go
[10:08] <Admiral_Chicago> well i'm off to bed
[10:08] <Admiral_Chicago> ttel
[10:08] <Admiral_Chicago> ttul*
[10:08] <arunkale> Jucato: how do i configure it once it's downloaded
[10:09] <Nik001> help with quicktime plugin please!!!
[10:09] <Jucato> arunkale: It will be in K Menu > Utilities. once you run it, you will have a system tray icon for it. right-click to Configure
[10:09] <arunkale> cool, thanks :)
[10:09] <arunkale> does it have the cool animation effects of expose?
[10:10] <Jucato> arunkale: unfortunately, no :(
[10:10] <arunkale> damn
[10:10] <Jucato> for that, you really need something like XGL
[10:10] <arunkale> hmm
[10:10] <Milkyy> and it's in pre-alpha, sort of...
[10:10] <arunkale> i've heard xgl/compiz is buggy
[10:10] <Milkyy> so don't try it uless you're willing to spend many many hours on it
[10:11] <arunkale> whoa it's nice! :)
[10:12] <Jucato> what's nice?
[10:12] <arunkale> kompose
[10:12] <Jucato> ah
[10:12] <Jucato> :P
[10:12] <arunkale> :)
[10:12] <arunkale> thanks
[10:12] <arunkale> should i get xgl?
[10:13] <octan> hi all
[10:13] <flaccid> yeah compiz buggy
[10:13] <Milkyy> it's not something to recommend at the moment
[10:13] <flaccid> alpha
[10:13] <octan> compiz is not buggy here
[10:13] <Jucato> arunkale: not unless you're feeling adventurous
[10:13] <arunkale> haha
[10:13] <Jucato> octan: doesn't mean it won't be buggy anywhere else :P
[10:13] <arunkale> well, my video card probably doesnt support it
[10:13] <octan> :P Jucato i know :P
[10:14] <octan> i been lucky
[10:14] <Jucato> arunkale: if it's an IGP, then no. but anything else is probably supported
[10:14] <Nik001> help. do you know hpow to watch apple quicktime webcast???????????
[10:15] <Milkyy> kompose didn't seem to install itself under Utilities
[10:15] <Nik001> ???

[10:15] <Jucato> Milkyy: try to run "kbuildsycoca --incremental" in Konsole and look again in K Menu
[10:16] <Jucato> arunkale: Integrated Graphics um... (forgot the P)
[10:16] <arunkale> Milkyy: you'll have to restart x
[10:16] <Jucato> a built-in video card
[10:16] <Jucato> arunkale: not necessary
[10:16] <octan> is ther a way i can set and option for my ssh server that if password is wrong more than 2 time reject ip or do a connection refused?
[10:16] <arunkale> or if you can't wait, press alt + f2 and type kompose
[10:16] <arunkale> yeha i have an integrated card
[10:16] <Milkyy> Jucato: kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available!
[10:16] <Jucato> Milkyy: ignore those error messages
[10:17] <Jucato> check your K Menu again
[10:17] <Milkyy> nice it's there :)
[10:18] <Milkyy> wow kompos IS nice :)
[10:18] <magusofthestorm> quick question, is there something in KDE to check where all my memory is being used?
[10:19] <Jucato> magusofthestorm: Ctrl+Esc ?
[10:20] <magusofthestorm> thanks, that's it, kinda new to KDE
[10:20] <Milkyy> thanks for that too, didn't know that either
[10:20] <aceofspades> huh
[10:20] <TeZ> any guru's here that could help translate 'techanees' installation instructions to 'dumees' ?
[10:20] <aceofspades> Looks like Mirc but better
[10:21] <TeZ> trying to setup the drivers for a USB WiFi adaptor, but the instructions that come with the driver are way over my head.
[10:22] <aceofspades> hmmmm
[10:22] <aceofspades> How, do i set it so, i can do the undernet service with login and password?
[10:23] <aceofspades> Can someone please tell me.
[10:23] <arunkale> btw, ktorrent is awesome
[10:24] <magusofthestorm> I love ktorrent
[10:24] <Milkyy> I love KDE :o
[10:24] <magusofthestorm> I just wish more people would keep thier torrents seeded.
[10:25] <magusofthestorm> My favorite new toy since dropping windows is amaroK though
[10:26] <Milkyy> yeah that's awesome
[10:26] <Milkyy> when I used Gnome I thought rhythmbox was pretty good but amarok is way better
[10:26] <magusofthestorm> TransKode is really annoying though
[10:27] <Milkyy> what's that?
[10:27] <magusofthestorm> For transcoding your music files
[10:27] <magusofthestorm> it's an amarok script
[10:27] <magusofthestorm> When I finally get it to work it reencodes my mp3s at 32k bitrate
[10:28] <Milkyy> :S
[10:28] <magusofthestorm> I told it 128 in the configuration, I'm just glad I wasn't using "replace old files"
[10:29] <Milkyy> hehe :P
[10:31] <magusofthestorm> anybody know a progarm that'll reencode my music at 128k bitrates without going over and using my girl's windows box?
[10:32] <ubuntu> no
[10:32] <Milkyy> For some reason I can't play .flac files in Amarok now... I was able to before I updated it
[10:33] <magusofthestorm> I wonder what that amaroK update included, I don't notice anything different.
[10:33] <flaccid> me neither
[10:33] <Milkyy> probably just some bug fixes
[10:34] <Milkyy> well maybe I should convert my music collection to ogg anyway...
[10:34] <magusofthestorm> Adept tried to update my quake2 install and managed to not only make it stop working, but give itself a heart attack in the process.
[10:34] <flaccid> won't that loose quality/bits ?
[10:35] <flaccid> magusofthestorm: you have quake2 on linux?
[10:35] <Milkyy> yep it will
[10:35] <Nik001> help help help cannot watch apple quicktime video!!!
[10:35] <magusofthestorm> I would if they'd still work on my iPod as ogg
[10:35] <Milkyy> it's also lose hdd space :P
[10:35] <magusofthestorm> Had quake2 on linux
[10:35] <Milkyy> but I'm not sure... but when I can't play them then why have them :/
[10:35] <magusofthestorm> not working anymore
[10:36] <magusofthestorm> Niether is Kontact or Adept
[10:36] <Nik001> http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/showtime06/
[10:36] <Nik001> can you watch it?
[10:36] <flaccid> magusofthestorm: how do i install?
[10:37] <magusofthestorm> Don't know what went wrong but it's telling me both things are allready logged in and they're not.
[10:38] <magusofthestorm> google it, I don't remember, but it was an rpm package I got.
[10:39] <magusofthestorm> used alien and kpackage and it worked.
[10:40] <magusofthestorm> hmm, I get quicktime in firefow but not konqueror or opera
[10:41] <magusofthestorm> what browser do you use?
[10:41] <Nik001> I use firefox
[10:41] <Nik001> I have problems only with the last apple webcast
[10:41] <Nik001> the last event
[10:41] <magusofthestorm> I did untill a few days ago, somebody convinced me to try opera
[10:42] <magusofthestorm> Aside from having to reinstall java I've really liked it.
[10:44] <magusofthestorm> is it normal for kubuntu with only konvesation and ktorrent running to use 292 megs of ram?
[10:45] <arienh4> i want to start second life, but when i start it, it gives very much warnings
[10:45] <pielgrzym> anyone uses xgl? will it run ok on r9200 (open source drivers)? help plz :)
[10:46] <magusofthestorm> I can't get my system to recognise the fact that I have hardware 3d acceleration.
[10:47] <Electrolyte> Does anyone know of a decent music organiser like Napster for Linux?
[10:47] <Electrolyte> I know Freespire has one, but does Kubuntu?
[10:49] <magusofthestorm> any ideas why a program would go through the whole process of loading and then disappear?
[10:49] <mrdarcy> hi all
[10:49] <magusofthestorm> I just installed mBox to reencode my mp3s, but it won't load.
[10:50] <mrdarcy> i glad about my desktop

[11:13] <Bropho> enable what
[11:13] <magusofthestorm> try getting it with synaptic
[11:13] <Kiongku> repositories
[11:13] <llxcamxll> ok so if i give someone the address they can connect to me through krdc if they got the password right?
[11:13] <Kiongku> Bropho: open ur adept package manager
[11:14] <Bropho> i searched synaptic nothing came up
[11:14] <Jucato_> Bropho: you need to enable multiverse to get "libxine-extracodecs"
[11:14] <Bropho> how
[11:14] <Jucato> you're using Synaptic?
[11:14] <Kiongku> Bropho: ya
[11:15] <Jucato> !multiverse
[11:15] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[11:15] <Jucato> If you're using Adept ^^^^^^
[11:15] <Kiongku> Bropho: Settings > repositories
[11:15] <Jucato> If you're using synaptic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[11:15] <Bropho> i use adept as well
[11:15] <Kiongku> Bropho: any1 will do
[11:15] <Jucato> well, either-or
[11:16] <Bropho> ok what do i do
[11:16] <Jucato> whichever you're more comfortable with
[11:16] <Jucato> follow those guides
[11:16] <llxcamxll> can someone connect to my desktop so i can try this out
[11:16] <Bropho> ok
[11:16] <Bropho> then wat
[11:16] <Kiongku> then update.. and then install -_-
[11:16] <Bropho> ok
[11:17] <llxcamxll> anyone?
[11:17] <Kiongku> llxcamxll: ask one of ur friends its betetr :)
[11:17] <Jucato> and safer
[11:17] <Kiongku> hehe
[11:17] <Kiongku> ya
[11:17] <llxcamxll> this is fresh format so like nothing to hide
[11:18] <llxcamxll> and how easy this desktop sharing is depends on if they get it
[11:18] <Kiongku> lol anyway dunt have kdrc ( '')
[11:19] <llxcamxll> <IP_ADDRESS>:0
[11:19] <llxcamxll> that don't seem right
[11:19] <magusofthestorm> I just found an antivirus program for linux
[11:20] <Bropho> i know about resportories but how do i get libxine-extracodecs
[11:20] <Jucato> Bropho: you need to enable the multiverse repository to get it
[11:20] <Bropho> how do i do taht
[11:20] <Kiongku> magusofthestorm: and?.. there had been those programs around for some time
[11:20] <Jucato> I thought you said you knew about repoisitories?
[11:21] <Jucato> Bropho: those links have a section about "adding Multiverse"
[11:21] <Bropho> ok
[11:21] <magusofthestorm> took me a while to find one
[11:21] <Kiongku> lol..
[11:22] <magusofthestorm> take the # out of the address line in etc/apt/sources.list
[11:22] <Kiongku> doh magusofthestormu'll just make him more confuse..
[11:22] <Jucato> (actually he needs to add the word "multiverse"...)
[11:22] <llxcamxll> ok so like all i have to do is give someone the ip address and password then they can connect to me?
[11:23] <magusofthestorm> You want easy, install automatix.
[11:23] <magusofthestorm> or rune easy ubuntu
[11:23] <magusofthestorm> both of them add mp3 support
[11:23] <magusofthestorm> probably easy ubuntu
[11:24] <kraut> moin
[11:24] <zorglu_> !register
[11:24] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:26] <Bropho> i give up
[11:26] <Jucato> ??
[11:26] <Kiongku> Bropho: lol.. its so simple..
[11:26] <Jucato> Bropho: what are you using right now? Synaptic or Adept?
[11:26] <Bropho> I havnt been using linux for that long
[11:26] <Bropho> adept
[11:27] <Jucato> Bropho: go to the Adept menu and select Manage Repositories
[11:27] <llxcamxll> the multiverse hurdle
[11:27] <Kiongku> how much time Bropho?
[11:27] <Jucato> (I'm basically repeating what's written in the guide...)
[11:27] <Jucato> Bropho: look for a line that says something like "deb http://xx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe"
[11:27] <ricsike> helo
[11:28] <Jucato> Bropho: click on that line, then click on the word "universe" so it becomes editable. ADD (do not replace) the word "multiverse" so that it becomes "universe multiverse"
[11:28] <ricsike> exit
[11:28] <magusofthestorm> Makes me feel better about still being stuck on installing from source after 3 weeks on linux.
[11:29] <Kiongku> magusofthestorm: hmm?
[11:29] <Jucato> Bropho: press Enter, right-click on the line to Enable it (if it isn't enabled yet), click on the Apply button at the bottom, then Close. Then click on "Fetch Updates" at the toolbar at the top
[11:30] <Bropho> aadept wont open
[11:30] <Bropho> never mind it opned

[11:37] <frankie_> sorry
[11:44] <martinjh99> Is there a way of getting XGL to work on KDE?  I have a Radeon x1300...
[11:45] <zorglu_> xgl has been reported as working on kde, the point is more about your gfx card
[11:45] <zorglu_> !xgl
[11:45] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[11:46] <phreakys_> hello
[11:46] <martinjh99> Cheers mate will have a look at that page - I saw it running on the latest Mandriva One live CD...  I wondered if I could get it going on KDE on Kubuntu...
[11:46] <luca_b> it works not so well because there isn't a window decorator for XGL for KDE
[11:46] <phreakys_> i just installed 686 kernel instead of 386, because i read that its supposed to be faster?
[11:46] <Kiongku> ya...
[11:47] <phreakys_> but when i boot with the new kernel, it hangs on the acpi thing
[11:47] <phreakys_> whats up with that?
[11:47] <CVirus> phreakys_: if you have a Dual core processor or a pentium 4 processor that supports Hyper Threading then you should use 686-smp kernel
[11:48] <phreakys_> ive got a centrino. is that any good for 686?
[11:48] <phreakys_> its a laptop :/
[11:48] <CVirus> I guess so
[11:48] <phreakys_> im trying to get some performance here, because kubuntu runs so slow
[11:49] <CVirus> phreakys_: If you really want KDE then you should accept it as it is .. slow
[11:50] <phreakys_> hm, i like the options kde offer, but yes...its slow
[11:50] <phreakys_> gnome is no option :/
[11:50] <CVirus> phreakys_: how about XFce ?
[11:51] <Kiongku> phreakys_: how much ram?
[11:51] <phreakys_> 1024 mb
[11:51] <Kiongku> should be good..
[11:51] <CVirus> you gotta be kidding
[11:51] <Kiongku> anyway gtg bye every1
[11:51] <phreakys_> yea, it was bloody fast under windoze
[11:51] <Kiongku> i got 1024
[11:52] <phreakys_> ill check XFce
[11:52] <Kiongku> and its fast enough for me
[11:52] <phreakys_> yea
[11:52] <CVirus> it should be blood fast with KDE too
[11:52] <CVirus> bloody*
[11:52] <luca_b> phreakys_: I think it's just an optimization isue
[11:52] <CVirus> yeah
[11:52] <CVirus> exactly
[11:52] <luca_b> I have a P4M and 1 Gb RAM, it works great
[11:52] <phreakys_> yea, so im trying to optimize
[11:52] <phreakys_> but not knowing exactly how
[11:52] <CVirus> I'm running on a 512MB of ram and its working perfectly
[11:53] <phreakys_> maybe the 686 kernel makes a difference
[11:53] <phreakys_> i need to boot with it though, without acpi blocking me
[11:54] <phreakys_> where can i put a -noacpi switch?
[11:55] <phreakys_> hello
[11:55] <phreakys_> does anyone know why the 686 kernel tends to hang on acpi?
[11:58] <CVirus> phreakys_: pass this kernel parameter at boot ... acpi=off
[12:00] <phreakys_> where do i add that parameter?
[12:00] <phreakys_> is there a grub file or something?
[12:00] <zorglu_> phreakys_: /boot/grub/menu.lst is this file :)
[12:01] <phreakys_> ah thanks

[01:08] <WeeD> Hi everyone
[01:08] <WeeD> Im new to kubuntu and I am having trouble installing deb packages
[01:08] <WeeD> Specifically WINE
[01:08] <WeeD> Anyone available to help me?
[01:09] <fdoving> !wine
[01:09] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:09] <WeeD> Yeah, so...
[01:09] <WeeD> When I run the cmd in konsole: dpkg --force-arch=i686 -i wine_0.9.21~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06-1_i386.deb
[01:09] <WeeD> It has an error message, even wht I put the full path
[01:09] <zorglu_> !info libtunepimp
[01:09] <ubotu> Package libtunepimp does not exist in any distro I know
[01:10] <WeeD> It says: Unknown force/refuse option 'arch=i686'
[01:10] <fdoving> zorglu_: libtunepimp3
[01:11] <WeeD> So am I supposed to force i386 instead? It stil says the same error
[01:11] <zorglu_> fdoving: the one shipped by ubuntu doesnt have mp3 support which cause trouble in 'fillin tag' on mp3 with amarok
[01:12] <zorglu_> fdoving: working about with another repository http://packages.czessi.net/dapper_section.php?show=libs&i18n=en
[01:12] <WeeD> Thanks for the link zorglu
[01:13] <zorglu_> WeeD: hue ? you sure ? :) i wasnt answering to your question
[01:13] <WeeD> Oh
[01:13] <WeeD> Umm, well The system funning Kubuntu has to internet connection
[01:14] <fdoving> zorglu_: ah, understand.
[01:14] <WeeD> So I was wondering hwo to install deb package i DLed
[01:18] <WeeD> Hello?
[01:19] <WeeD> Echo! Echo! Echo!
[01:19] <m3xican> WeeD: use Adept
[01:19] <WeeD> Okay
[01:20] <WeeD> So am I gonna 'Manage Repositories' and add the deb package?
[01:20] <WeeD> Simple as that?
[01:20] <WeeD> Or is that going to self-destruct?
[01:21] <zorglu_> ok i didnt follow, can you reexplain your problem ?
[01:21] <WeeD> Sorry

[01:24] <zorglu_> WeeD: but i guess it wont be enought :( unfortuntly i have no time to help you
[01:24] <WeeD> Thank you anyways
[01:24] <zorglu_> abaldwin: yes. somewhere in "menu -> system setting"
[01:24] <WeeD> :)
[01:24] <abaldwin> I can''t find it in the keyboard layouts offered therein
[01:25] <abaldwin> US English, yes, but US International, no.
[01:25] <zorglu_> ah ok
[01:25] <abaldwin> I need to have access to accent marks so that i can also type in French, Spanish and Portuguese
[01:25] <zorglu_> then i dunno
[01:25] <Steven_M> does anyone know why the screen resolution is different if I start fluxbox using startx -- :1 than when I start it through kdm?
[01:25] <llxcamxll> what do i need to make kaffeine play dvd's with menu's??
[01:26] <WeeD> zorglu: It is now saying that the package architecture (i386) doesnt match (amd64)
[01:26] <zorglu_> WeeD: and you are running in 64bit ?
[01:26] <WeeD> Yes
[01:26] <WeeD> Do I add this? dpkg --force-arch=i686 -i wine_0.9.21~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06-1_i386.deb
[01:26] <zorglu_> WeeD: you are *really* in a complex case :)

[02:10] <SAngeli> Hi, I need help in accieving the followings: 1) replace in Xorg "nv" with "nvidia" and therefore install nvidia drivers 2) Implement transparencies. First, could it be that I already have nvidia drivers but just need to replace nv with nvidia? If so, how to do so? manually or GUI?
[02:10] <Dalkus> Hi, I'm having trouble getting an internet connection on a fresh install of kubuntu. When I run the liveCD, I have a connection, but once I have installed it to my harddrive I get "network is unreachable" when It try to ping anything. Any hints please?
[02:10] <SAngeli> As for transparency I have to add the line "Option Composite Enable" in xorg.conf. Do I do so manually?
[02:12] <Merlin840> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263477
[02:13] <main2> Dalkus: still around?
[02:14] <Dalkus> yep
[02:14] <main2> Dalkus: kan you start a konsole?
[02:14] <Dalkus> sure, it's open
[02:14] <main2> ifconfig
[02:14] <main2> eth0 is probably the one you should have inet on, i guess
[02:14] <main2> Dalkus: does eth0 have a ip? (ip4)
[02:14] <Dalkus> yep? It's all correct
[02:14] <main2> are you sure?
[02:15] <Dalkus> definate
[02:15] <main2> can you try to ping your router/modem?
[02:15] <main2> that will be something like <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:15] <brush01uk> Greetings Everyone, Have a good weekend :-)
[02:16] <main2> thank you brush01uk :-))
[02:16] <Dalkus> umm, that's bizzare. Earlier I got a "network unreachable", now I can ping both the router and google
[02:16] <main2> Dalkus: it might took a sec to get a ip via dhcp
[02:17] <Dalkus> okay, well thanks main2
[02:17] <main2> keep an eye on it.., you might want to use a static :-))
[02:17] <main2> ur welcome
[02:17] <Dalkus> will do, thanks
[02:17] <Merlin840> this mac is making me angry... :'(
[02:19] <brush01uk> back soon, on the phone :-)
[02:22] <main2> SAngeli: solved it?
[02:22] <SAngeli> I did so. I changed to nvidia but it is quite slow to move mouse around
[02:22] <SAngeli> Should I restart my pc?
[02:23] <main2> no
[02:23] <main2> do you know konsole?
[02:23] <SAngeli> yes
[02:23] <main2> open it up
[02:23] <SAngeli> it is opened
[02:23] <main2> dmesg
[02:24] <main2> you see some errors in the last lines?
[02:24] <SAngeli> anything in particular to see | grep ... ?
[02:24] <main2> nahhh.. just take a look at the last lines
[02:24] <main2> SAngeli: ok the following,
[02:24] <main2> type: sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:25] <main2> after about a line or 20, you see some 'Load 'modulename'' lines
[02:25] <main2> have you added glx?
[02:25] <Electrolyte> Anyone able to help? I can't play any DVD, it just says "The resource cannot be read" then comes up with "No plugin to handle dvd:/"
[02:25] <Electrolyte> Using Kaffeine, and have the xine-extracodecs installed.
[02:25] <XTorchedX> in kopete, image transfers and webcam aren't working for MSN
[02:25] <SAngeli> main2, yes it is already there
[02:25] <main2> Load "glx" right?
[02:26] <SAngeli> yes
[02:26] <drnoone> anyone has a Compro Videomate Gold Remote Control working under Ubuntu Dapper?
[02:26] <SAngeli> it is very slow to move around
[02:26] <main2> ok, SAngeli we do a test..
[02:26] <main2> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep (NVIDIA)
[02:27] <main2> sorry
[02:27] <SAngeli> I have just disabled trasparencies from kde and now it is fine and fast.
[02:27] <main2> without the (Brackets)
[02:27] <SAngeli> but let's see what is wrong.
[02:27] <main2> .. cat the lines.. or run glxinfo
[02:28] <main2> glxgears, tell me if hware acceleration is running
[02:28] <SAngeli> main2, here is the output with one error:
[02:28] <SAngeli> one se
[02:28] <SAngeli> sec
[02:28] <Electrolyte> No matter, got it working.
[02:29] <main2> Electrolyte: how did you fix it? :)
[02:29] <Electrolyte> did: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[02:29] <SAngeli> main2, here it is http://rafb.net/paste/results/90F83f19.html
[02:30] <SAngeli> main2, is it possible that I am using the wrong driver
[02:30] <SAngeli> ?
[02:31] <main2> lets see
[02:31] <main2> SAngeli: 'bash: syntax error near unexpected token `NVIDIA'' is not an error
[02:31] <Merlin840> if anyone is knowledgeable about Macs.... please speak up :-P
[02:31] <SAngeli> I see
[02:31] <main2> its because (NVIDIA) should be NVIDIA
[02:31] <main2> i gave the wrong command...... grep doesnt handl () like that...
[02:32] <main2> it looks ok
[02:32] <main2> SAngeli: start 'glxinfo'
[02:32] <main2> in konsole, paste it in a bin for me
[02:32] <SAngeli> main2, but I was aware of that and did grep without ()
[02:32] <SAngeli> main2, http://rafb.net/paste/results/5o6FJx38.html
[02:32] <main2> pastebin both your xorg.conf as well..
[02:33] <main2> direct rendering: No
[02:33] <main2> glx is not loaded
[02:33] <SAngeli> main2, http://rafb.net/paste/results/CX2W5l77.html
[02:34] <SAngeli> i did something yesterday following a ubuntu guide for implementing nvidia driver but did something that was not succesfull. let me try to see if I can find the doc
[02:35] <main2> SAngeli:  you added load "GLcore" ?
[02:35] <SAngeli> no, I just executed a command line from konsole
[02:36] <main2> SAngeli: i found the problem
[02:36] <SAngeli> anyway
[02:36] <SAngeli> great
[02:36] <main2> but you have to follow the things im gonna say, k - else it wont work
[02:36] <main2> sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:36] <SAngeli> ready
[02:37] <main2> in the following section:
[02:37] <main2> Section "Device"
[02:37] <main2>   identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] "
[02:37] <main2> you see 'Driver "nv"'
[02:37] <SAngeli> yea
[02:37] <SAngeli> I should also replace it with nvidia,right?
[02:37] <NameNomad> when I try to access my extra hard drive, it tells me that it could not mount the device and the error reads as such "mount: can't find /dev/hdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
[02:37] <main2> this should become 'driver "nvidia"'
[02:37] <SAngeli> done
[02:37] <NameNomad> I tried looking for the answer on the forums
[02:37] <NameNomad> but came up with nothing
[02:38] <main2> SAngeli: then press 'Ctrl+o
[02:38] <SAngeli> done
[02:38] <NameNomad> do I have to text edit /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab?
[02:38] <main2> to save it, and then ctrl+z
[02:38] <SAngeli> done
[02:38] <main2> SAngeli: press "ctrl+alt+backspace" now (save stuff before doing this)
[02:38] <SAngeli> ok
[02:39] <main2> NameNomad: what did you try to mount it?
[02:39] <SAngeli> main2, I am back
[02:39] <NameNomad> well, open it
[02:39] <NameNomad> but it treats it the same way
[02:39] <NameNomad> mounting and opening are the same error
[02:39] <main2> NameNomad: try to mount it on the console...
[02:40] <main2> mounting and opening are two different things
[02:40] <main2> SAngeli: is it fast / ok now?
[02:40] <SAngeli> main2, here is my glx info: http://rafb.net/paste/results/9CaiFK32.html  I still have my direct rendering: No
[02:40] <SAngeli> let me check
[02:40] <main2> SAngeli: glxinfo |grep direct
[02:40] <main2> is it yes?
[02:41] <SAngeli> it is No
[02:41] <main2> crap.., did you install the nvidia driver using:
[02:41] <main2> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx?
[02:41] <NameNomad> main2: I get the same error
[02:41] <SAngeli> no I did not
[02:41] <main2> open adept
[02:41] <NameNomad> it says it's not in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:41] <main2> NameNomad: tell me what command ur using to mount it
[02:41] <SAngeli> done
[02:42] <NameNomad> sudo mount /dev/hdb5
[02:42] <main2> in the textbox type: nvidia
[02:42] <SAngeli> done
[02:42] <SAngeli> it is not installed
[02:42] <main2> NameNomad: mkdir /media/mydrive
[02:42] <SAngeli> main2, what to install?
[02:42] <main2> NameNomad: mount /dev/hdb5 /media/mydrive
[02:42] <main2> SAngeli: in console > sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:43] <SAngeli> main2, do I have to close adept?
[02:43] <main2> yes
[02:43] <main2> then ctrl+alt+backspace when its installed
[02:43] <main2> (rb, need water)
[02:44] <NameNomad> main2: ok, that has mounted it.  Thank you very much; my poor nubly-ness impedes me :)
[02:45] <SAngeli> main2, here is the error: http://rafb.net/paste/results/GypbIt84.html
[02:45] <SAngeli> main2, still slow
[02:47] <dhq_> i just installed windows xp now how do i get my bootloader back
[02:47] <dhq_> i use kubuntu
[02:47] <tibbar> me too
[02:47] <NameNomad> ofcourse, now it tells me that I can't enter the folder /media/mydrive.  My guess, from looking at the permissions, is that the permissions are restricted to all but the "owner," or root
[02:47] <tibbar> :P

[02:48] <Mortice> dhq_: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[02:48] <tibbar> how to i add multiverse without backporst to my respo?
[02:49] <main2> SAngeli: yes i am
[02:49] <tibbar> is this how it should look? 'deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse'
[02:49] <SAngeli> main2, cool have you seen the error?
[02:50] <main2> NameNomad: its one of those things you have to know...
[02:50] <main2> you never forget
[02:50] <main2> SAngeli: looking at it
[02:50] <NameNomad> main2: yeah, it really is
[02:50] <NameNomad> main2: how do I access the folder using sudo?
[02:50] <NameNomad> main2: shell command 'sudo /media/mydrive'?
[02:50] <main2> SAngeli: doesnt look well
[02:51] <SAngeli> I know. what should I do?
[02:51] <main2> NameNomad: depends on what on the drive you wanne access
[02:51] <NameNomad> the permissions
[02:51] <main2> SAngeli: did you change your default 'display server' ?
[02:51] <SAngeli> from what to what?
[02:51] <main2> from 0:0 to 1:0 ?
[02:51] <main2> or 2
[02:52] <SAngeli> in xorg?
[02:52] <main2> yeah
[02:52] <SAngeli> let me check
[02:52] <SAngeli> what should it be?
[02:52] <main2> SAngeli: can you do me a favor and give me the url of the guide you tried, then i might know what went wrong..
[02:52] <SAngeli> I will try to find it again.
[02:52] <main2> k
[02:52] <SAngeli> one sec please ...
[02:54] <NameNomad> main2: how can I change the permissions on my extra HDD?
[02:54] <NameNomad> I'm trying to access it through Konsole, but failing
[02:54] <main2> 1sec
[02:55] <SAngeli> main2, I see the problem: anytime I change "nv" into "nvidia", save it and restart when I get back to login after that xorg.conf returns to nv
[02:55] <main2> NameNomad: what type of partition is it? (normal ext3?)
[02:55] <main2> SAngeli: because you dont save it
[02:55] <main2> have you used 'ctrl+o' ?
[02:55] <SAngeli> yes i do. It is not the first time I use nano or pico
[02:56] <SAngeli> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7453 2006-09-23 14:55 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:56] <main2> ok, SAngeli
[02:56] <main2> sudo mc
[02:56] <SAngeli> sudo mc
[02:56] <SAngeli> command not found
[02:56] <main2> then press f4 to edit the xorg.conf....
[02:56] <main2> sudo apt-get install mc
[02:56] <main2> sorry.. but this tool is a men's best friend (beside a dog..)
[02:56] <SAngeli> wait. what is sudo mc? I get sudo: mc: command not found
[02:57] <main2> you need to install it first..
[02:57] <main2> sudo apt-get install mc
[02:57] <SAngeli> ok done it
[02:57] <main2> sudo mc
[02:57] <SAngeli> wow
[02:57] <main2> WATCHOUT
[02:58] <SAngeli> one sec let me find the file
[02:58] <redo86> hi at all
[02:58] <main2> this will start the mc tool in root mode, this can be extremely dangerous (you can crupple your sstem)
[02:58] <redo86> can i do a question?:P
[02:58] <main2> SAngeli: take care
[02:58] <main2> redo86: go..

[02:59] <SAngeli> main2,  how to get to /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf?
[03:00] <main2> SAngeli: you can use the cursor keys (arrow keys)
[03:00] <main2> and the tab, to move from left to right side...
[03:00] <octan> How do i drop a spesific ip adresse ?
[03:00] <main2> you can easily copy folders /files this way from one to other location
[03:00] <octan> $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  -d $myip -s $ip-to-drop -j DROP ???
[03:01] <main2> SAngeli:  the '..' in the top of the list, makes you go a folder up
[03:02] <SAngeli> main2, I got Error while saving.
[03:02] <SAngeli> main2, I believe it is a permission issue. could it be?
[03:02] <SAngeli> wait-.
[03:02] <octan> anyone?
[03:03] <Jucato> grr. this is really really annoying...
[03:03] <NameNomad> main2: How can I change the permissions for my extra HDD from the console?
[03:03] <main2> NameNomad: it was ext3?
[03:03] <NameNomad> NTFS
[03:03] <main2> AUW
[03:03] <SAngeli> main2, done I saved it
[03:04] <SAngeli> main2, should I try to restart X again now?
[03:04] <main2> NameNomad: NTFS has lots of cons.. better dont use it to write stuff to it
[03:04] <main2> san: yes
[03:04] <rod> hi, i installed kubuntu on my laptop a few weeks ago and the install correctly picked up my wireless card.  but a few days ago i did a complete reinstall and have just noticed that i am now without my wireless crad, i just have loopback and eth1 which is my wired lan card.  how can i go about getting my wireless card detected without reinstalling?
[03:04] <main2> NameNomad: you can break the whole partition if you dont watch out
[03:04] <NameNomad> main2: I really just want to retrieve some files from it
[03:04] <main2> NameNomad: i repeat : dont use it to write to it..
[03:05] <main2> NameNomad: that shouldnt be a problem, can you access the /media/mydrive now?
[03:05] <SAngeli> main2, direct rendering: Yes :-)
[03:05] <NameNomad> main2: nah, I'm not allowed into it
[03:05] <main2> SAngeli: pwnage =)
[03:05] <main2> NameNomad: sudo mc
[03:06] <main2> try to look around that way, watch out .... im not going to repeat it again..
[03:06] <SAngeli> main2, very cool. It now rocks ! (thks to you)
[03:06] <main2> SAngeli: have you seen XGL?
[03:06] <SAngeli> no, can I implement it too?
[03:06] <NameNomad> main2: it said that mc couldn't be found
[03:06] <main2> SAngeli: you know it?
[03:06] <SAngeli> I mean: Yes I have seen it
[03:06] <NameNomad> so I tried apt-getting it
[03:07] <main2> NameNomad: sudo apt-get install mc
[03:07] <SAngeli> how to implement it? Is it easy and possible?
[03:07] <main2> NameNomad: you need to have multiverse in your sources.list..
[03:07] <NameNomad> which returned 'E: Couldn't find pacakage mc"
[03:07] <main2> !repository
[03:07] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[03:07] <main2> SAngeli: its a bitch to get it installed, if you dont know a lot about the console / i mean
[03:08] <main2> if editing files can still be a problem, nofi at all -> but then you shouldnt give it a try..
[03:08] <SAngeli> main2,  next time, then
[03:08] <SAngeli> main2, now let me enjoy transparency
[03:08] <SAngeli> main2, thanks for now.
[03:08] <main2> SAngeli: yeah, the best thing you could do is -> wait for a month or 3
[03:08] <SAngeli> why 3 months?
[03:08] <main2> SAngeli: XGL compiz stuff improves everyday (not a little)
[03:09] <SAngeli> right
[03:09] <SAngeli> thks main2. I appreciate it
[03:09] <SAngeli> main2, is kubuntu your only distro?
[03:09] <main2> ive already seen a auto install script around somewhere, but those are not always reliable
[03:09] <main2> SAngeli: ive seen them all... from IBM AIX to RHEL
[03:09] <SAngeli> main2, what about gentoo?
[03:09] <main2> and everything between or aside :X
[03:10] <SAngeli> main2, and what about imac too Mac OS X?
[03:10] <main2> SAngeli: i prefer Kubuntu! =)
[03:10] <Hobbsee> !vmware
[03:10] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[03:10] <SAngeli> main2, but have you tried gentoo? I ask this because I just quit gentoo after almost 2 years
[03:10] <main2> SAngeli: i cant afford such luxeurous stuff... and i dont have to be highly exclusive
[03:11] <main2> SAngeli: yes ive tried gentoo, was not impressed.
[03:11] <SAngeli> main2, are you referring to imac?
[03:11] <main2> yes
[03:11] <SAngeli> and what about gentoo?
[03:12] <main2> SAngeli: i prefer (K)Ubuntu, might be a personal thing
[03:12] <SAngeli> main2, last question. Now, to implement kde-look is it hard?
[03:13] <SAngeli> main2, and what about superkaramba. is it present in kubuntu?
[03:13] <main2> SAngeli: dont use superkaramba..
[03:13] <main2> i cant remember kde-look, but things like superkaramba.. they work today
[03:14] <main2> to die tomorrow..
[03:14] <SAngeli> yea
[03:14] <SAngeli> thks for now, main2
[03:14] <SAngeli> main2, anything to advice for email client?
[03:14] <NameNomad> main2: ok, I installed mc, and am now in mc
[03:15] <NameNomad> what next? you mentioned this is horribly dangerous, so I don't think I want to go poking around by myself
[03:15] <main2> SAngeli: im using thunderbird
[03:15] <main2> but i heard that evolution is the bom.... never seen it tough..
[03:15] <main2> NameNomad: yes starting it with sudo mc
[03:15] <SAngeli> is thurderbird better than kmail?
[03:15] <main2> gives you root access to everything you can access with it
[03:15] <Tm_T> imo kmail is better
[03:16] <|lostbyte|> Hi guys.
[03:16] <NameNomad> oh, so now all I have to do is find the drive and change the permissions?
[03:16] <main2> NameNomad: you see two panes huh
[03:16] <NameNomad> yep
[03:16] <main2> NameNomad: do not change any permissions at all
[03:16] <main2> its not needed
[03:16] <SAngeli> got to go now.
[03:16] <NameNomad> ok
[03:16] <SAngeli> thanks you guys
[03:17] <main2> SAngeli: yw, see you around k :-))
[03:17] <SAngeli> sure
[03:17] <main2> NameNomad: you see two panes, with a command line under it
[03:17] <NameNomad> yep
[03:17] <main2> NameNomad: type: cd /media/mydrive
[03:17] <main2> this will get MC (midnightcommander) along to the folder...
[03:17] <main2> you can also navigate with the arrowkeys
[03:17] <NameNomad> ahh, totally beautiful
[03:18] <NameNomad> I've missed my old HDD so much
[03:18] <NameNomad> so many good memories
[03:18] <NameNomad> of games and stuff
[03:18] <main2> NameNomad:  hahaha, ok you can see the stuff i guess?
[03:19] <main2> make a folder on your linux drive to copy the stuff to (with TAB you can move from the left pane to the right)
[03:19] <main2> midnight commander is the bom
[03:19] <NameNomad> this is really dope
[03:19] <NameNomad> I gotta admit
[03:19] <main2> NameNomad: dope and dangereous (root.....)
[03:20] <NameNomad> for sure
[03:20] <NameNomad> so much power
[03:20] <NameNomad> gotta be wise about it
[03:21] <ninHer> hi all
[03:21] <NameNomad> ugh, how do I copy things over?
[03:21] <NameNomad> I hate to ask so many questions
[03:21] <NameNomad> but I know pretty much nothing
[03:22] <Lynoure> NameNomad: This place is all for the questions
[03:23] <NameNomad> Lynoure: Yeah, I always feel like I'm bothersome though.  That what I get for being born in Minnesota :D
[03:23] <main2> NameNomad: F5 to copy
[03:23] <main2> F6 to move if im not wrong, its all written in the lowest rule on the screen......
[03:23] <NameNomad> ok, so those are F-keys, not simply number keys
[03:23] <arcasa> I need Steam./
[03:24] <fraco> boil water
[03:24] <NameNomad> duuude
[03:25] <NameNomad> this is wicked
[03:25] <NameNomad> I've been missing this music for way too long
[03:25] <NameNomad> (even though some of it's country [not my favorite, but the messages are cool] )
[03:25] <NameNomad> I love linux
[03:26] <Jucato> anyone here familiar with multi-booting Linux distros?
[03:26] <gnomefreak> Jucato: ive done it
[03:27] <Jucato> gnomefreak: any advice on the /boot partition?
[03:27] <NameNomad> ok, time for a pancake
[03:27] <NameNomad> bbl
[03:27] <gnomefreak> Jucato: what do you mean?
[03:28] <gnomefreak> Jucato: fedora/RH was the only ones i ran into issues boot with a debain distro suse sets up nice :)
[03:28] <Jucato> gnomefreak: once I had a GRUB error because the /boot directory of Distro X was beyond the 8GB limit, I think
[03:28] <gnomefreak> Jucato: that i have never seen
[03:28] <Jucato> :(
[03:28] <gnomefreak> sorry
[03:28] <Jucato> ah ok... I'll probably wait for imbrandon to return :)
[03:28] <Jucato> thanks anyway :)
[03:30] <bobesponja> hey all
[03:30] <Jucato> gnomefreak: do you think 8GB for each distro is enough? 10GB for the main one?
[03:30] <Jucato> (main one being Kubuntu...)
[03:30] <bobesponja> is there a way to see the brand of my /dev/hdc1 drive?
[03:30] <arcasa> I would love Linux if I could get Steam to run.
[03:30] <Jucato> msg ubotu steam
[03:30] <Jucato> err...
[03:30] <arcasa> I think it's cuz I use amd64
[03:30] <main2> NameNomad|away: let me know when you are back..
[03:30] <main2> wanne say a few things..
[03:30] <Jucato> !steam
[03:30] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[03:31] <scion> bobesponja: in control panel > disks and filesystems it gives the make and model number
[03:31] <main2> arcasa: fuck steam
[03:31] <gnomefreak> Jucato: should be but i wouldnt make a new swap with that little space

[03:32] <arcasa> I'm not an M$-friend!
[03:32] <arcasa> I'm a HL fan!
[03:32] <gnomefreak> arcasa: that is no need to use bad langauge
[03:32] <Jucato> gnomefreak: that 10GB for Kubuntu was for / hehe (30GB+ for /home)
[03:32] <scion> arcasa: i got steam working... will get you the link to the tutorial i used
[03:32] <gnomefreak> Jucato: ah
[03:33] <arcasa> Do you use amd64 though? (scion)
[03:33] <Jucato> gnomefreak: sorry for all the question... planning to redo my partitions :P
[03:33] <scion> arcasa: nope, sound like you are fughting a losing battle mate!
[03:33] <gnomefreak> Jucato: im here to answer them :)
[03:34] <scion> *fighting
[03:34] <main2> arcasa: i didnt say you are one, but valve has been working closely MS
[03:34] <Jucato> gnomefreak: isn't that the kernel for edgy?
[03:34] <main2> (it might even be a sister company, dunno)
[03:35] <arcasa> Goddamnit this sucks.
[03:35] <gnomefreak> Jucato: it is going to be we have the headers and all but no kernel for -9 yet as far as i can see in my repos
[03:35] <Jucato> hm... strange
[03:35] <Jucato> hold on
[03:35] <scion> main2: valve are totally unrelated to MS
[03:35] <main2> i dont like it that some companies do not acknowledge linux is a serious company
[03:35] <main2> scion: no they are not..
[03:36] <main2> linux is a serious OS... sorry not company
[03:36] <scion> main2: so you are saying valve are owned by MS??
[03:36] <scion> hahahahaha
[03:36] <scion> your a funny man
[03:37] <main2> scion: i've never said that
[03:37] <main2> but i red that they have close connections
[03:37] <main2> and that might be a reason why we dont see any linux binaries comming from them
[03:37] <Jucato> ooh tsdgeos...
[03:37] <main2> they should look at ID as a good example of how it should be
[03:38] <tsdgeos> Jucato: do we know eachother?
[03:38] <Jucato> gnomefreak: yeah 2.6.17-9-generic on Edgy
[03:38] <Jucato> tsdgeos: no. I just see your blog on planet kde :)
[03:39] <gnomefreak> am i the only one that didnt get the upgrade?
[03:39] <tsdgeos> Jucato: ah :-)
[03:39] <tsdgeos> cheers
[03:39] <gnomefreak> !info kernel edgy
[03:39] <ubotu> Package kernel does not exist in edgy
[03:39] <Jucato> gnomefreak: apparently... :(
[03:40] <main2> scion: quake 4 and doom 3 run faster her under kubuntu then under windows
[03:40] <gnomefreak> Jucato: im installing it (i wonder why i didnt get it as update
[03:40] <Jucato> heh :P
[03:41] <scion> main2: true, have quake 3 and UT working fine here, CS was more of a pain with the crashing and stuff but this is off topic
[03:41] <Jucato> now, if only I could figure out why my internet connection suddenly fscked up... :(
[03:41] <gnomefreak> im installing linux-image-generic as well maybe thats why no update
[03:41] <gnomefreak> brb sdmoke
[03:43] <main2> scion: for me, there is not a single reason i could bring up why i should use windows isntead of kubuntu/linux
[03:43] <scion> main2: we all hate windows equally here
[03:44] <main2> scion: conserning my opinion, you dont have to hate it......... but if companies release stuff / games for windows only
[03:44] <main2> then im not gonna buy it
[03:45] <main2> hardware / games doesnt matter, i boycot 'windows only' companies
[03:45] <scion> ohhh dear jesus bit torrent is milking my connection, never seen speeds like this before - penn and teller bullshit @ 320kb/s
[03:45] <llxcamxll> whats the command to nuke something if you can't move it to trash??
[03:45] <SAngeli> can someone please refer me a webpage on how to install all available plugins for mozilla-firefox?
[03:46] <scion> llxcamxll: what happens if you shift+del
[03:46] <h3sp4wn> SAngeli: Why would you want all available plugins - some provide similar functionality
[03:47] <SAngeli> I have no plugins so far. I need to install some plugins so I can browse the Internet
[03:47] <main2> SAngeli: you dont want ALL of them
[03:48] <main2> SAngeli: in fact, im using no extensions at all - not missing anything :P
[03:48] <SAngeli> ok, not all of them but at least flash, micromedia, windows media, adobe
[03:48] <scion> SAngeli: all you should need are Flash and Java plugins
[03:48] <llxcamxll> access denied
[03:48] <main2> ahhhh SAngeli check out easyubuntu
[03:48] <Jucato> SAngeli: flashplugin-nonfree for Flash and sun-java5-plugin for Java
[03:48] <main2> SAngeli: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[03:48] <SAngeli> Flash, java, adobe, windows media, quick time, real audio at least those
[03:48] <Jucato> !easyubuntu

[03:49] <scion> llxcamxll: sudo chmod 0777 filenamehere
[03:49] <Jucato> llxcamxll: if you delete a file from the command line, it's deleted forever
[03:49] <llxcamxll> done
[03:49] <llxcamxll> thank you
[03:49] <SAngeli> main2, cool
[03:49] <SAngeli> let me read
[03:50] <scion> llxcamxll: the chmod work for you?
[04:00] <NameNomad> wow, lotsa people left the channel
[04:01] <Jucato> probably a netsplit...
[04:01] <NameNomad> no idea what that is
[04:01] <scion> NameNomad: thank you for breaking the silence lol
[04:01] <NameNomad> but it sounds cool
[04:01] <NameNomad> haha, I was wondering why no one was talking
[04:01] <NameNomad> looked up the text a little, seemed there was a little verbal brawl
[04:01] <main2> NameNomad: its because you are around
[04:01] <main2> all ran away
[04:01] <Jucato> heh
[04:02] <NameNomad> rofl, yah, I can have that affect on people
[04:02] <main2> =)
[04:02] <NameNomad> must be the giant horns and red skin
[04:02] <NameNomad> XD
[04:02] <scion> gotta go, laters
[04:02] <NameNomad> adios amigo
[04:02] <main2> haha, cya scion =)
[04:02] <NameNomad> hey, for what it's worth, you don't have to buy HL or HL2
[04:02] <NameNomad> there's torrent for a reaon
[04:03] <NameNomad> I didn't see anyone mention stealing HL/HL2
[04:03] <NameNomad> so...just thought it should be mentioned
[04:03] <NameNomad> <<
[04:03] <NameNomad> >>
[04:03] <Jucato> ssshhh
[04:03] <Jucato> :P
[04:03] <main2> NameNomad: there is a way to play on steam without a license yes
[04:03] <Dink> yea so mpaa,riaa can put trackers on them to catch people :s
[04:04] <main2> NameNomad: but i boycot steam (even while i have the dvd.. i dont play it anymore)
[04:04] <NameNomad> play the offline mode
[04:04] <main2> i boycot *******/ companies who do not release elf binaries
[04:04] <NameNomad> hack the files so it doesn't initiate steam
[04:04] <NameNomad> yeah
[04:04] <NameNomad> I just steal things
[04:04] <NameNomad> much easier
[04:04] <NameNomad> ^_^
[04:04] <Dink> the way to go is private ftp ;)
[04:04] <NameNomad> word
[04:04] <NameNomad> but!
[04:04] <Dink> on 100mm/gb lines ;)
[04:05] <Dink> mb*
[04:05] <NameNomad> on to my stupid folders
[04:05] <NameNomad> with their ridiculous privilage settings
[04:05] <NameNomad> because even after I copied over my music file, it is still locked to all but root
[04:06] <warpzone> holy crap, anybody who browses using firefox should INSTALL SWIFTFOX
[04:06] <warpzone> there is even a .deb to install swiftfox now
[04:06] <warpzone> not only is it faster but it totally fixed my flash sound, go figure
[04:07] <Dink> or go with opera
[04:07] <NameNomad> so how's this for suck factor, even moving over single files of my music is locked
[04:07] <warpzone> Dink: yknow, I probably would if I didnt love my extensions so much
[04:08] <Jucato> NameNomad: from where did you move them?
[04:08] <Dink> probably 985938589x more extensions to opera then firefox/swiftfox
[04:08] <NameNomad> jucato: home folder on main drive
[04:08] <NameNomad> from my slave drive
[04:08] <NameNomad> but the privi's on the slave drive were set to root
[04:09] <warpzone> Dink: doesnt opera have ads at the top or bottom of the browser window? the last opera I used did, totally annoyed me
[04:09] <NameNomad> so when I move the folder they stay as root only
[04:09] <Dink> hmm i dont recall having those
[04:09] <Jucato> hm... I thought they'd change to the user's ownership...
[04:09] <NameNomad> yeah, that would be really really cool
[04:09] <NameNomad> but so far, no luck for me
[04:10] <Jucato> NameNomad: you can just launch Konqueror with admin privileges and change the ownership (if you don't want to do it with the command line)
[04:10] <NameNomad> jucato: ok, that sounds like a dandy idea
[04:10] <NameNomad> (for real, I like it)
[04:11] <NameNomad> command line is 'kdesu konqueror'?
[04:11] <Jucato> yes
[04:11] <Jucato> or ALt+F2, or in Konsole
[04:17] <tony_> hello everyone..
[04:18] <tony_> I Have single video file ( .avi ) and i want to burn that to cd so it can play back on DVD . what tools to use ??
[04:20] <Dink> k3b
[04:20] <Dink> burn as data
[04:20] <tony_> dose DVD player , plays back avi ???
[04:20] <SAngeli> main2, just to understand: when i have to download easyubuntu and install it where should i do all this? I did it in /tmp but should it be done in a specific foler or in my home folder?
[04:20] <Dink> and pray your dvd player plays avi ;)
[04:20] <mpathy> tony_: Most actuak ones yes
[04:20] <mpathy> -k +l
[04:20] <main2> SAngeli: i just ran the script, sudo script.sh....
[04:21] <tony_> is there any linux program that can convert avi to some dvd format ?
[04:21] <main2> no idea wether you should execute it from a certain path, i dont think so
[04:21] <mpathy> tony_: This avis are mostly DivX
[04:21] <SAngeli> but when you had to wget where did you save it?
[04:21] <main2> just start it with sudo
[04:21] <acesuares> hi

[04:22] <Dink> tony_ burn it with k3b as data and see if it will play on your dvd player
[04:22] <Kr4t05> acesuares: Theoretically, you should be able to just copy the files from the CD to the USB stick (Assuming you have enough space on the USB stick.
[04:22] <Kr4t05> )
[04:22] <tony_> OK DInk . thanks for the info :)
[04:22] <SAngeli> main2, is it possible I screwed up?
[04:23] <Dink> i do it all the time... use a dvdrw incase
[04:23] <acesuares> Kr4t05: without any special boot sector magig ?
[04:23] <acesuares> Kr4t05: without any special boot sector magic
[04:23] <dhq> i just installed win xp now my grub is gone is there a way to add kubuntu in my mbr

[04:28] <dhq> what is the root pass for the kubuntulive cd
[04:29] <warpzone> dhq: I'm not certain there is one. Usually you just do everything with 'sudo'
[04:29] <dhq> k
[04:29] <h3sp4wn> dhq: just run sudo -i
[04:30] <Jucato> there is no password for the Live CD

[05:21] <the_y_man> omfg... www.mldesigners.com just got DEFACED!
[05:21] <ubuntu_> !grub

[05:22] <Kennie`> is there a easy way to enable second cpu core (centino duo) instead of compiling new kernel?
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> shouldent that be enabled by default? or perhaps ya need that SMP kernel.
[05:25] <Kennie`> hmm.. doesnt it pick SMP by default? will try apt-get it
[05:25] <kolin> hey all
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> I thought the default kernel had smp in it all ready
[05:26] <omer> hello all
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> try 'uname -a' and see what kernel ya got
[05:26] <Kennie`> seems not then..
[05:26] <omer> can somebody help me
[05:26] <Kennie`> eh newest -27
[05:26] <omer> ?
[05:26] <kolin> so i am realy new to linux.  and i have no idea what i am doing
[05:26] <kolin> haha
[05:27] <kolin> <----n00b
[05:27] <kolin> :)
[05:27] <Kennie`> just state ur question i would say :x
[05:27] <omer> i m new to linux and i installed kubuntu
[05:27] <omer> now have opened adapt but it starts downloading instead of installing from cd
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> if there are newer packages online. it will dowload/install them.
[05:28] <omer> i have checked the repository but there is no cdrom repository
[05:28] <omer> can i add the cdrom repository
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> the first line of the apt sources.list normally is the cdrom line.
[05:28] <omer> ?
[05:28] <omer> but there isnt any?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> you can add the local cd. but still any updates will get downloaded, and it will check the online repos for the latest
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> I normally delete the cd repo line. :P
[05:29] <omer> how to add the cdrom?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> !apt-get
[05:29] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> theres an apt-cdrom command
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> that i think can ad it.
[05:30] <kolin> trying to mount an NTFS drive here now
[05:31] <kolin> having some difficulties
[05:31] <omer> ok let me try
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> The DeFacto NTFS Guide (and good info for vfat as well) --->  http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#can_i_mount_an_ntfs_volume
[05:31] <kolin> i will give it a shot
[05:31] <kolin> thanks
[05:31] <kolin> i have 2 drives though and windows is on one and kubuntu on the other
[05:31] <kolin> so will that faq still apply to me?
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> of course. mounting drives is about mounting drives. :P
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> it dosent matter if you got<PHONE_NUMBER>0 drives.
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> you mount them all with the mount system.
[05:32] <kolin> alright....thanks
[05:32] <kolin> i will give it a shot:)
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> Do you mean you have 2 hard drives>?  or a single drive that has 2 partitions?
[05:32] <kolin> i have lots of questons:)
[05:33] <kolin> 2 hard drives
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> I think i got 8 hard drives in this box. :P
[05:33] <kolin> hahaha....well then
[05:33] <kolin> must be a big tower
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> example fstab entry -->   /dev/hdb1 /media/WinBoot ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
[05:34] <kolin> see....that really does nothing for me
[05:34] <kolin> haha
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> that url explains all the hows and whys of the umask= option , which is normally the one you need to use/mess with
[05:34] <kolin> ahhh....ok
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> when in doubt RTFM and learn the basics
[05:34] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: how do i get my grub back
[05:34] <kolin> i do have another little question
[05:34] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: i am on the live cd now
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu_,  how did ya lose it?
[05:34] <cathy_> howdy pps
[05:34] <cathy_> oops...brb
[05:34] <zorglu_> !grub
[05:34] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:34] <zorglu_> the first link is my guess :)
[05:34] <kolin> if i minimize sometrhing to the sys tray, can i associate it with a shortcut key or something to bring it back up quickly?
[05:35] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: while installing windows i have tried rcovering it
[05:35] <SAngeli> has anyone installed an HP LaserJet 1320n?
[05:35] <ubuntu_> thru the above mentioned site
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> in short.. boot the live cd, mount the linux / drive, chroot to where you mounted it to, run update-grub (i think)
[05:35] <dennister> better?
[05:36] <dennister> yeah :-)
[05:36] <dennister> howdy all
[05:36] <ubuntu__> what
[05:36] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: can you mention it slowly dint get you
[05:37] <omer> my problem is unsolved
[05:37] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis:  all this i have to do when i am on the live cd rite
[05:38] <omer> I couldnt understand how to add the cdrom repository
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> Yes. You boot the live cd. get to a shell and use the commands.
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> omer,  try sudo  apt-cdrom add
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> I dont have a cdrom to even test. :P
[05:38] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: i am running in the live cd so i can do it in konsole
[05:39] <omer> on konsole?
[05:39] <omer> ok
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> omer,  yes..  where you type commands at. :P
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu_,  yes. shouldent matter.
[05:39] <dennister> anyone need some newbie-level help who isn't already being helped by someone else?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> omer,  but you may need to be root to do this stuff..
[05:39] <zorglu_> dennister: :)
[05:40] <dennister> Zorglu: hi is there a reason for the smile?
[05:40] <omer> ok
[05:40] <omer> i have done this
[05:40] <omer> its has done something
[05:40] <larson9999> so many webcasts. so little time
[05:41] <zorglu_> dennister: i liked your 'i wanna help, somebody needs to be helped'
[05:41] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: how do check on which partition kubuntu is installed  cauz i had 2 installations both on separate partitions one works one doesnt
[05:41] <dennister> yeah, i thought I'd offer first for a change
[05:41] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: ie i installed kubuntu 2 times
[05:42] <omer> thanks
[05:42] <omer> I think its done
[05:42] <dennister> not that i'm anywhere near mid-level myself, but...
[05:42] <dennister> zorglu: how 'bout u?
[05:43] <zorglu_> dennister: im fine thanks :)
[05:44] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: what do you mean /targer
[05:44] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis: what do you mean /target
[05:44] <cango_> omer
[05:44] <cango_> do you know turkish
[05:44] <omer> no
[05:45] <omer> I know urdu
[05:45] <zorglu_> cango_: you look for a channel in turkish ?
[05:45] <MenZa> !tu
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <omer> I m from pakistan
[05:45] <zorglu_> arabe is the language ?
[05:45] <MenZa> !ar
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <MenZa> Gah, I give up.
[05:45] <zorglu_> hehe :)
[05:45] <zorglu_> irc in arabe seems strange to me :)
[05:46] <zorglu_> but it is likely supported
[05:46] <dennister> ok pps; stop hogging every color i try to use!
[05:46] <dennister> lol...every time i change it i find someone else is using it already
[05:47] <kolin> DrWillis: you still there?
[05:48] <kolin> or anyone rather?
[05:48] <abattoir> kolin: what do you need?
[05:48] <kolin> well i was trying to mount a windows drive
[05:48] <dennister> hmmmmm
[05:48] <kolin> and drwillis gave me a link
[05:48] <kolin> so i am following it thru
[05:49] <fdoving> !ntfs
[05:49] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[05:49] <kolin> i types in that /proc/systems/ thing and it gave me a list but NTFS isn't there
[05:49] <fdoving> that link?
[05:49] <ep> Can somebody help me copy sym-links without dereferencing?  "sudo cp -Rdv mplayer* /opt/firefox/plugins/"  no workie,  the links are bad in the target directory. What am I screwing up?
[05:49] <dennister> well, since i offered to help other newbies first, would anyone have some time to help me with a strange mounting/sharing issue?
[05:51] <tibbar> abattoir: i am now on my brother's pc..
[05:51] <tibbar> abattoir: the command that you told me to use didn't help because....
[05:51] <bobesponja> hey all
[05:51] <omer> thanks for help people
[05:51] <omer> bye
[05:52] <abattoir> dennister: ask your question, someone might know :)
[05:52] <abattoir> tibbar: because...?
[05:52] <bobesponja> I'm installing kubuntu on a new unformated hard drive
[05:52] <dennister> abattoir: hey there, hi
[05:52] <abattoir> dennister: hi :)
[05:52] <bobesponja> I want to create two partitions, one for /home and one for /
[05:52] <tibbar> abattoir: when my brother installed kubuntu it just got stuck on the loading screen (even for the live cd) then he went into save mode and installed it there
[05:53] <abattoir> tibbar: ok, was installation completed successfully?
[05:53] <dennister> k, i've got my lamp setup and working pretty well...but i was setting up my windows partitions and somehow got this thing called <mount point> in my home directory
[05:53] <bobesponja> to create the /home I need to enter "/home" in the Label textbox in qtparted right?
[05:53] <tibbar> abattoir: and when i use the command u told me to use it got stuck on the loading screen again
[05:53] <tibbar> abattoir: yes..
[05:54] <dennister> contents will change ie sometimes its my vfat partition and sometimes ti's the winmedia partition
[05:54] <The_Stephan> hello have here one people the toucam pro 2 ?
[05:54] <The_Stephan> under linux
[05:54] <bobesponja> anyone please? :)
[05:54] <abattoir> tibbar: you should enter that command once your system is ready to use, in a terminal...
[05:54] <dennister> problem is, only root has permission to access winmedia, which has all my media files on it
[05:54] <abattoir> tibbar: do you mean after you chose your driver and res. ?
[05:54] <tibbar> abattoir: but how i did it is i went into safe mode form the live cd and copied its xorg.conf and repaced it with the old one on my pc
[05:54] <dennister> I can't seem to change the permissions for winmedia in samba, or any other method
[05:55] <dennister> and  want all my other partitions mounted permanently
[05:56] <tibbar> abattoir: (what happend when you told me to do that command i did and it did reset my xorg.conf but the default xorg.conf makes his pc 'hang')
[05:56] <abattoir> tibbar: that might not work always...(and you replaced the one on your pc w/ the one from the cd right?_
[05:56] <abattoir> tibbar: did you install the binary ati drivers?
[05:56] <tibbar> abattoir: yes but i had to boot in safe mode on the live cd
[05:56] <kolin> i can't just open an mp3 file in this amaroK program can i?
[05:56] <tibbar> abattoir: not just :P
[05:57] <tibbar> abattoir: *yet
[05:57] <abattoir> kolin: if you have the right codecs, you can :)

[05:57] <fraco> The_Stepahn, I don't have one, but used a similar cam a year ago
[05:57] <kolin> hahaha
[05:57] <kolin> that's intense
[05:57] <kolin> thanks!
[05:57] <tibbar> abattoir: anyways thx for ur help..
[05:58] <dennister> so how do I get rid of this <mount point> thingy in my user's home folder?
[05:58] <abattoir> dennister: the name is really '<mount point>' ? :S
[05:58] <tibbar> !bots
[05:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bots - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:58] <tibbar> lol i need bot commands
[05:58] <abattoir> !ubotu
[05:58] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[05:58] <dennister> abattoir: yes, wierd, eh?
[06:00] <abattoir> dennister: i not really experienced w/ networking, but it does sound very strange...
[06:00] <abattoir> or is this a local drive/partition?
[06:00] <dennister> abattoir: yes, on a second drive
[06:00] <abattoir> bobesponja: the mountpoint should be /home
[06:01] <dennister> i've never seen this on any of my other installations
[06:01] <bobesponja> abattoir: thanx, and which one should I put at the beginnin of unallocated space?
[06:01] <abattoir> dennister: does your fstab look normal?
[06:01] <flavioribeiro> anyone can tell me a good game to ubuntu?
[06:01] <flavioribeiro> i wanna play something hehe
[06:02] <fdoving> dennister: can you provide a screenshot of this mountpoint thing? might explain better.
[06:02] <dennister> yes, it does, and i even did a small edit to try to correct the fstab
[06:02] <abattoir> bobesponja: i dont think that matters much.. as long as grub(and fstab) are pointed to it correctly
[06:02] <fdoving> dennister: can you post your fstab to http://rafb.net/paste ?
[06:02] <dennister> fdoving: a screenshot, in pastebin i presume? k, haven't done that yet
[06:03] <abattoir> !games
[06:03] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[06:03] <bobesponja> abattoir: and about the "primary " and "extended" partition, what's the difference and which one should I pick for /home and / ?
[06:03] <fdoving> dennister: pastebin is ok.
[06:03] <abattoir> bobesponja: one sec, brb
[06:03] <bobesponja> abattoir: thanx
[06:03] <dennister> k, hold on...i'll try to use pastebin
[06:04] <kolin> if the packages they list that i need aren't in adept, what do i do?
[06:04] <bobesponja> abattoir: I mean ok, i'll wait :)
[06:06] <kolin> if the packages they list that i need aren't in adept, what do i do?
[06:07] <fdoving> kolin: check packages.ubuntu.com
[06:07] <kolin> thanks
[06:09] <abattoir> bobesponja: sorry about that...
[06:09] <bobesponja> no problem
[06:10] <abattoir> bobesponja: well, technically you cant have more than 4 'primary' partitions... so extended partitions evolved as something which overcame that...
[06:10] <kolin> when i d/l a .deb file
[06:10] <kolin> where does it need to be for me to install it?
[06:11] <abattoir> bobesponja: and i dont think it really matters....
[06:11] <Wulong> When I start my computer after updating anything with Adept evreything stored in my session have been unset, annoying. Just sayin'.
[06:11] <fdoving> dennister: status?
[06:11] <abattoir> kolin: it can be anywhere, rt. click on the file->Install Package
[06:11] <abattoir> kolin: or rt.click->Actions->Install Package
[06:11] <kolin> thank you very much
[06:12] <dennister> k, think i got my fstab uploaded to pastebin, and i got screenshot of error prob in konq, but can't seem to get that screenshot into pastebin
[06:12] <abattoir> kolin: wait... you might run into dependency problems...
[06:12] <abattoir> kolin: what are you trying to install?
[06:12] <abattoir> kolin: libxine-extracodecs?
[06:12] <kolin> there is no install package option anyway
[06:12] <kolin> yeah
[06:12] <kolin> how'd you know? haha
[06:12] <abattoir> kolin: you'd need to enable multiverse for adept to 'see' it...
[06:12] <abattoir> !multiverse
[06:12] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[06:13] <abattoir> kolin: ^^^
[06:13] <abattoir> kolin: enable universe too while you are at it ;)
[06:13] <kolin> haha....ok....cool
[06:14] <dennister> fdoving: how do i paste the screenshot into pastebin?, and has the fstab-in-pastebin worked? can u see that?
[06:14] <fdoving> dennister: which pastebin did you use?
[06:14] <abattoir> kolin: just for future reference(even though you may not need it)...(and you say the 'Install package' menu item is not available), 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb' installs a file...
[06:14] <abattoir> kolin: you dont need to save it in any particular location... if you need to specify the path, 'sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb'
[06:14] <kolin> ok...sweet
[06:14] <kolin> thanks
[06:15] <kolin> as you ca tell i am pretty new
[06:15] <abattoir> kolin: :)
[06:15] <osiris> anyone know of a player that works with quicktime streams
[06:15] <|lostbyte|> fdoving, http://imagebin.org/
[06:15] <dennister> k, my recent fstab pastebin does show up in list with others...not sure what u mean? fdoving?
[06:15] <abattoir> kolin: well, the desktop guide might help you as well
[06:15] <abattoir> osiris: if you have the codecs installed, i think it works well in kaffeine
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> it pays big time to read guides. :) to get a good foundation of knowledge
[06:15] <fdoving> dennister: did you use rafb.net/paste or something else?
[06:15] <abattoir> Dr_Willis: indeed :)
[06:16] <dennister> i think i used rafb.net/pastebin...used the link i was given here
[06:16] <fdoving> |lostbyte|: thanks for the tip. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ has a image feature too.
[06:16] <fdoving> dennister: you can use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for images.
[06:16] <Alexaaatch> hi im a newbie to kubuntu, can anyone help me with a little problem on Cedega?

[06:17] <Dr_Willis> Alexaaatch,  whats the issue?
[06:17] <|lostbyte|> k
[06:17] <fdoving> dennister: your 3 last lines are wrong.
[06:17] <|lostbyte|> :)
[06:17] <|lostbyte|> AFK..
[06:18] <fdoving> dennister: <mount\040point> isn't a valid mountpoint.
[06:18] <Alexaaatch> Dr_Willis, im trying to find out how to use a image file to play the game instead of using the CD because it takes forever to load
[06:19] <fdoving> dennister: mountpoint should be the directory where you want to mount the disk. for example. if you want the contents from /dev/sda1 to be available in /media/windows you should set the mountpoint to /media/windows
[06:19] <bobesponja> abattoir: and what Label do I put for my swap in qtparted?
[06:19] <fdoving> dennister: <mount\040point> should therefore be replaced with something else.
[06:19] <bobesponja> abattoir: nothing or just swap?
[06:19] <abattoir> bobesponja: the label really doesnt matter, you could do as you wish :)
[06:19] <fdoving> dennister: and, you want to have separate mount-points for each disk. if you don't only the content of last mounted disk will be shown.
[06:20] <abattoir> bobesponja: you might however see the name of the label instead of 25G Media, or / in media:/ though :)
[06:20] <abattoir> (nor for swap, but)
[06:20] <dennister> fdoving; i've got the screenshot of my error message now uploaded in pastebin
[06:20] <fdoving> dennister: so, for example: /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 ntfs uid=0,gid=0,noauto,rw,users 0 0
[06:21] <bobesponja> abattoir: so it's better to not put nothing?
[06:21] <abattoir> bobesponja: its neither better nor worse, i personally think it doesn
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Alexaaatch,  get the cd image,  in .iso format, mount it someplace.. then check the cedega configs and make the cdrom show up as the mounted dir. Not sure if cedega has that feature directly. or how well the .iso will work
[06:21] <abattoir> *doesnt matter, especially for swap
[06:21] <dennister> no; i don't want this <mount point? at all...I do want all my partitions to always be accessible to me and all users, on this local server pc and from my son's pc on my local network
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Alexaaatch,  if the game is copy protected i doubt if it will work. get a NO-CD crack
[06:22] <fdoving> dennister: i understand. but you need mount points.
[06:22] <fdoving> dennister: mount point is the directory where you want the contents of the disk to be accessible.
[06:22] <dennister> i know i need mount points...i configured them in settings
[06:23] <ryan_> here in the past cuple days my kunbuntu is running extreamly slow. i ended my current session and started a new one and that did nothing.....any ideas
[06:23] <fdoving> dennister: like in windows you have a:, b: and c: etc. in linux you have mount points, and bind the contents of partitions/disks to directories instead.
[06:23] <super_noobs> is there any ruby programmer here?
[06:23] <dennister> in all of my other installations they were automatically mounted at boot, and always available...this server installation I had to do it after installation
[06:24] <fdoving> dennister: i'll make some changes to your fstab and explain more in detail when i'm done. hang on.
[06:24] <ubuntu> Dr_Willis: you there
[06:24] <fdoving> dennister: your konqueror error is because your fstab is setup wrong.
[06:24] <dennister> ubuntu destop lets you mount them permanently during the installation setup, just before the drive is partitioned, but with the server you can't set it up that way
[06:24] <Kr4t05> Bah, this is ignorant...
[06:24] <fdoving> dennister: so the problem is basically your fstab-setup.
[06:24] <Kr4t05> Why doesn't my mic work?
[06:24] <dennister> fdoving...thanks!
[06:25] <Martijn81> !vorbisgain > Martijn81
[06:25] <dennister> yes, i figured it was my fstab-setup...why I did a small edit already
[06:25] <dennister> that edit was done to make the winmedia exactly like the vfat, just as you saw in my pasted fstab
[06:27] <fdoving> dennister: ok, you can start with making the mountpoint directories. Like this: 'sudo mkdir /media/sda1;sudo mkdir /media/sda5;sudo mkdir /media/sda6'
[06:27] <kolin> i tried to install that extra codecs thing and i got dependency errors
[06:27] <ubuntu> where is grub installed
[06:27] <dennister> fdoving...now, with the shell command lines ur giving me here?
[06:28] <fdoving> dennister: yes.
[06:28] <fdoving> dennister: then you should edit your fstab to look like this: http://rafb.net/paste/results/znwnKw18.html
[06:28] <ryan_>  is there any way to clean up my kubuntu to make it run faster....the past few days its been running extreamly slow
[06:28] <fdoving> dennister: the first 3 lines is just a comment about making the mount-point directories.
[06:28] <sync00> quick question.  I am trying to run the ./configure command to install a program, and it tells me that there are no c compilers in $PATH... so how do I get them in there... i know I have them installed... I just need them in my $PATH
[06:28] <kolin> hrmmm...adept won't open for me anymore
[06:28] <kolin> weird
[06:29] <fdoving> dennister: you can leave them out of the real fstab, i've only made changes to the last 3 lines.
[06:29] <fdoving> sync00: you need the 'build-essential' package to compile your own programs.
[06:29] <dennister> k, followed the link to your pastebin...doing the command lines in root shell now
[06:29] <iallende89> hello
[06:30] <sync00> fdoving: how do i get the 'build-essential' package?
[06:30] <bobesponja> abattoir: it looks like qtparted doesn't take my /home Label into account, it says unknown, does this mean it will install everything into / ?
[06:31] <kolin> can someone help me.  my adept isn't opening anymore and i don't know why
[06:31] <fdoving> sync00: kmenu -> system -> adept manager - search and install
[06:31] <iallende89> does any body knows how to put a picture in kopete that anybody can see it on msn??
[06:31] <fdoving> kolin: do you get a error message?
[06:32] <kolin> nope
[06:32] <kolin> just comes up in the taskbar and then disappear
[06:32] <fdoving> kolin: try to open a konsole, and run 'sudo adept_manager'
[06:32] <kolin> i was trying to install that extracodecs thing
[06:32] <kolin> k
[06:32] <abattoir> bobesponja: afaik, that's just the label... only in the next step would you see the options for mount points
[06:32] <kilrae> options > accounts > msn account > user info > export a display picture
[06:33] <sync00> fdoving: thank you, and will that automatically put the needed files in my $PATH as well?
[06:33] <fdoving> sync00: yes.
[06:33] <abattoir> bobesponja: so create your home partition, and remember the device, eg. hda3, then in the next step, mount hda3 as /home...
[06:33] <sync00> fdoving: alrighty, thanks a bunch :)
[06:33] <iallende89> thanks KILRAE.. i'll try
[06:33] <bobesponja> abattoir: ok thanx
[06:33] <fdoving> sync00: you're welcome :)
[06:33] <fdoving> dennister: status?
[06:33] <abattoir> bobesponja: i dont exactly remember the exact process... tell me if i was wrong...
[06:33] <Haz> hey, what was the command to rebuild the locate database?
[06:34] <fdoving> Haz: updatedb
[06:34] <Haz> thanks
[06:34] <Audimage> i need help installing the nvidia drivers in ubuntu
[06:34] <fdoving> !nvidia > audimage
[06:34] <MenZa> !nvidia > Audimage
[06:34] <MenZa> fdoving: too fast for me.
[06:34] <fdoving> :]
[06:34] <MenZa> :P
[06:34] <stephan> have here a the webcam philips toucam pro 2
[06:34] <kolin> fdoving: wasn't found
[06:34] <Audimage> ?
[06:35] <Audimage> if i type sudo apt-get install nvidia
[06:35] <Audimage> it says couldn't find package
[06:35] <fdoving> kolin: strange, in adept go to the menu: Adept -> manage repositories
[06:35] <dennister> fdoving...made the new directories, saved your fstab onto my desktop; now i just need to edit the one this session is currently using
[06:35] <fdoving> Audimage: read the messages the bot sendt you.
[06:36] <iallende89> i dont have optiens>accounts>msn account>user info>export a display picture
[06:36] <Audimage> thanks
[06:36] <kolin> i can't open adept
[06:36] <fdoving> dennister: ok, tell me when you're done editing.
 just comes up in the taskbar and then disappear
[06:36] <fdoving> kolin: ah, that was your problem.. sorry.
[06:37] <kolin> haha....don't worry about it man
[06:37] <fdoving> kolin: from konsole 'sudo adept' then.
[06:37] <kolin> it opened but gave me a whole bunch of code and stuff
[06:37] <kolin> in the konsole that is
[06:37] <fdoving> that's normal.
[06:38] <kolin> alright...cool
[06:38] <fdoving> kolin: now, you have checked that adept works. close adept and try 'kdesu adept' from konsole.
[06:38] <fdoving> kolin: that will use 'kdesu' instead of sudo, which basically is the graphical sudo-thing.
[06:39] <kolin> ok then
[06:40] <dennister> fdoving...k finished editing...I think i'm gonna have to reboot now for this to take effect, and because i got a knotify error message
[06:40] <bobesponja> abattoir: ok I'm going to proceed to the installation now, but before that it asks me to install grub on hd0 even if my instalation is on sda1 sata disk. Is that ok?
[06:40] <fdoving> dennister: reboot is not neccessary.
[06:41] <kolin> it worked
[06:41] <kolin> that's fdoving
[06:41] <fdoving> dennister: open konsole (kmenu -> system -> konsole)
[06:41] <fdoving> kolin: great, now try the menu-entry.
[06:41] <abattoir> bobesponja: i think it tries to refer to the MBR... what are the options available?
[06:41] <dennister> i'm already in root shell
[06:42] <kolin> now i should be able to install the extracodecs thing form adept right/
[06:42] <fdoving> dennister: now try 'sudo mount /media/sda1
[06:42] <fdoving> '
[06:42] <bobesponja> abattoir: I have hda, hdb, hdc and sda
[06:42] <fdoving> kolin: you should.
[06:42] <abattoir> bobesponja: btw, did you get that page where it asks you where to mount etc.(for /home ) ?
[06:42] <kolin> well...i will let you know if i have any other problems
[06:42] <kolin> i appreciate the help
[06:42] <bobesponja> abattoir: yes that was ok thanx
[06:42] <fdoving> kolin: you can, however, try to install it from konsole, with aptitude or apt-get if you suspect that it killed adept.
[06:43] <fdoving> dennister: ok, try 'mount /media/sda1' then.
[06:43] <abattoir> bobesponja: ok, so you dont have a hda at all?
[06:43] <fdoving> dennister: hang on, did you say you want them to be automounted at boot time?
[06:43] <abattoir> bobesponja: i mean, physically....
[06:43] <kolin> i will get into doing that stuff later
[06:43] <kolin> hahaha
[06:43] <dennister> tried the 'mount /media/sda6' it's saying sda5 and sda6 are already mounted, according to fstab
[06:43] <kolin> i am still getting used to al lthis
[06:44] <dennister> yes fdoving...want them always mounted
[06:44] <bobesponja> abattoir: yes I do physically but I'm not installing on it
[06:44] <fdoving> dennister: dennister ok, 'umount -l /dev/sda6;umount -l /dev/sda5;umount -l /dev/sda1'
[06:44] <fdoving> dennister: then try again.
[06:45] <abattoir> bobesponja: ok, where do you want grub to reside.... on the MBR(if Grub is the only boot loader) or on the partition?
[06:45] <bobesponja> abattoir: mbr
[06:46] <fdoving> dennister: if you want them automounted you'll have to edit your fstab again, i was sloppy and missed that part before editing. anyway, just remove the 'noauto' part from the 3 lines, in fstab.
[06:46] <abattoir> bobesponja: ok, could you please tell me about your harddisk(s) setup?
[06:46] <abattoir> bobesponja: how many you have, which is master, which is the one you boot off, etc..
[06:47] <bobesponja> I have three hard disk ATA (hda,hdb,hdc) and hda is the master. I also have a SATA which is sda, I want to install on this one
[06:47] <abattoir> bobesponja: ok, for the MBR, i think hd0 is the right entry
[06:47] <bobesponja> abattoir: ok thanx again
[06:48] <abattoir> bobesponja: you're welcome :)
[06:49] <kolin> you still there fdoving?
[06:49] <fdoving> kolin: sure.
[06:49] <kolin> i downloaded the w32codecs thing
[06:49] <dennister> fdoving...ok...will re-edit fstab...no worries, as I really appreciate your help...I will also make sure that all users will have access, as i tried to mount sda6 now and was told i didn't have enough eprmissions again...
[06:49] <kolin> and i am trying to install it
[06:50] <kolin> and i get this error in the console
[06:50] <kolin> "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process"
[06:50] <bobesponja> abattoir: by the way do you know if sata is really faster than ata?
[06:51] <dennister> that <mount point> is still there in my home directory tho...so I'll try to get it out now
[06:51] <abattoir> bobesponja: well, i've never used SATA, so not from experience
[06:51] <abattoir> bobesponja: but yes, people do tend to rave about it :P
[06:51] <bobesponja> abattoir: ok cool :)
[06:52] <abattoir> i guess the difference wont be that great though, not sure :)
[06:52] <bobesponja> abattoir: I bought it on the internet by mistake I thought it was a ATA, luckily my mother board support SATA too :)
[06:52] <abattoir> heh :)
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> kolin,  close out any other apt programs/frontends.  like adept, synaptic, and so forth.
[06:53] <fdoving> kolin: you probably have a adept running.
[06:54] <fdoving> kolin: do as dr_willis says,close them all.
[06:54] <kolin> i don't see any running
[06:54] <fdoving> !adept crash fix
[06:54] <ubotu> If adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this command in konsole: 'sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock'
[06:54] <fdoving> kolin: try that ^
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> or reboot. :P
[06:55] <kolin> you guys are too good!
[06:55] <kolin> haha
[07:06] <kolin> if i want to build my music collection from the ntfs filesystem on my other hard drive
[07:06] <kolin> where would that be in the tree?
[07:06] <kolin> nevermind
[07:07] <iain> Messing around and stuffed my desktop, not sure what i have done.  I can no longer open folders from my desktop.  For example if I try to open the trash can i get the error malformed url. Or if I click on my home folder VLC opens and tries to open all the files in my home directory.   Any suggestion before I do a fresh install?
[07:14] <fdoving> iain: my guess is that you have removed konqueror  as the default application for directories.
[07:15] <misieq> is there any awk option or some other utility that would escape strings?
[07:15] <fdoving> iain: before you re-install you can try to move your ~/.kde out of the way, starting from a fresh kubuntu settings. for example running this command in konsole: 'mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.bak
[07:15] <thunderbird_> allo
[07:16] <misieq> i have "echo '()" and shell complins about character escaping :(
[07:16] <steffen> tach
[07:16] <fdoving> misieq: what are you trying to do?
[07:17] <misieq> i'm trying to find what string has md5 that would be made of numbers only
[07:18] <fdoving> misieq: how does the input look like? and how do you want the output?
[07:18] <stateofflux> how do I configure my scanner
[07:19] <misieq> !pastebin
[07:19] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)

[07:20] <stateofflux> fdoving, because I know pclinuxos has the drivers for my scanner
[07:20] <misieq> fdoving: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24543 and that's just tiny bit of the whole thing
[07:21] <fdoving> misieq: and the problem is when?
[07:23] <dennister> fdoving? did some cleanup (more fstab edits, the directories within sda5 and sda6 are now shared with samba) but I still can't seem to delete that <mount point> it seems to be of inode file system type, is totally locked, and editing it as root is not an available option for me...was able to rename it tho
[07:23] <Sharkey> can somebody help me with my kubuntu installation?
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> Sharkey,  elaborate on the propblem and lets find out.
[07:24] <Sharkey> in won't go further than "uncompressing linux... ok,boting the kernel" :S
[07:24] <dennister> maple!: howdy neighbour!
[07:24] <fdoving> dennister: ok, in the shell you can try  'sudo rm -rfi -- name'
[07:25] <fdoving> misieq: i guess you'll get problems when you come to the U=' and U=" part.
[07:25] <Telroth_Plushie|> Sharkey, nothing after that?
[07:25] <Sharkey> nope
[07:26] <Telroth_Plushie|> boot the recovery console

[07:29] <fdoving> mrbrdo: yes, with mplayer you can

[07:35] <DrNickRiviera> i have problem with special character, like umlauts, they are always replaced by a little character with a question mark when i use kate or the console
[07:35] <Sharkey>  i don't get a recovery option, i'm installing it for the first time on my windows system
[07:35] <Telroth_Plushie|> OH
[07:35] <fdoving> DrNickRiviera: try to select another font.
[07:35] <Telroth_Plushie|> hrm Sharkey
[07:36] <Telroth_Plushie|> when it gives you the boot prompt
[07:36] <Telroth_Plushie|> type "failsafe"
[07:36] <Sharkey> ok i'll try
[07:36] <dennister> k; I'm gonna logoff for a while, and work on configuring my printer and cups; done that successfully before, so I should be ok for a bit...bback later folks
[07:37] <DrNickRiviera> fdoving: changing the font just turns the icons into squares
[07:38] <Telroth_Plushie|> DrNickRiviera, what font are you using?
[07:38] <yann95200> hi all
[07:38] <fdoving> DrNickRiviera: did you try more than two fonts?
[07:38] <yann95200> i want to disable the external disk icon on my desktop but i didn't find how to do it. Any idea ?
[07:39] <iain> fdoving, did some updates and tried to install google earth i think.
[07:39] <fdoving> iain: ok, then i don't know what i can do to help you.
[07:40] <DrNickRiviera> fdoving: yeah, have tried about 10 now
[07:40] <DrNickRiviera> either the little question mark, a square, or just a blank character where the special character should be
[07:40] <nagyv> hello! I would like to capture a short video using my quickcam. Which program should I use?
[07:40] <DrNickRiviera> if i open a file like this and save it it's "broken" afterwards too
[07:40] <fdoving> yann95200: rightclick on the desktop -> Configure desktop / desktop settings -> behavior -> device icons. (tab)
[07:41] <yann95200> fdoving: thx i just find it :)
[07:41] <DrNickRiviera> php scripts that worked fine beforehand for example give me interpretation errors
[07:42] <Telroth_Plushie|> DrNickRiviera, what font are you using? I accidentally killed X and couldn't see if you replied
[07:42] <fdoving> DrNickRiviera: install the package 'localeconf' that will ask you some questions about your locale and charset settings.
[07:42] <Sharkey> Telroth_Plushie| typing failsafe didn't do anything
[07:43] <fdoving> DrNickRiviera: i suggest installing that package from konsole, with 'aptitude install localeconf'
[07:44] <mrbrdo> fdoving: it doesn't work
[07:45] <mrbrdo> fdoving: Cannot seek backward in linear streams! Seek failed
[07:45] <mrbrdo> fdoving: then EOF
[07:45] <mrbrdo> used command "unrar p orenji-stargate.atlantis.310.rar | mplayer -"
[07:45] <Telroth_Plushie|> Sharkey, i've got to go, you'll need to find someone else to help you
[07:46] <Sharkey> oh ok
[07:46] <nagyv> is there anyone who tried to answer me? (how to capture a video using quickcam?) sorry, but my wifi is not enough reliable, and I get disconnected.
[07:46] <fdoving> mrbrdo: did you try 'mplayer orenji-stargate.atlantis.310.rar' ?
[07:47] <iain> Telroth-Plushil, Great getting there Konqueror works now but still the same problem when i use the system menu shortcuts.
[07:48] <mrbrdo> fdoving: that works, but i don't get any sound, and after a while: "FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver."
[07:49] <fdoving> mrbrdo: works here, i tested with 7-zip. '7zr e -so konq.7z |mplayer -'
[07:49] <mrbrdo> i'll try to play the unrared file first then
[07:49] <Sharkey> i've got a problem installing kubuntu on my system. I boot from DVD but when i select install from the install menu, i get the kubuntu statup screen but that freezes and i get: uncompressing linux... ok, booting the kernel. But after that it stops
[07:50] <mrbrdo> works unrared but a little laggy
[07:50] <mrbrdo> i'm running from samba
[07:50] <nagyv> Sharkey: are you sitting in front of a laptop?
[07:50] <mrbrdo> is there a way to make it buffer a little
[07:50] <fdoving> mrbrdo: if the rar archive contains other files than the avi it might become a problem,you probably have to specify the file you want to extract then.
[07:50] <DrNickRiviera> fdoving: will give localeconf a try, thanks for the tip
[07:50] <Sharkey> no a desktop
[07:51] <nagyv> Sharkey: LCD monitor?
[07:51] <mrbrdo> fdoving: it doesn't.. how to make mplayer buffer an .avi file tho?
[07:51] <Sharkey> no crt
[07:51] <nagyv> Sharkey: then have no clue :(, but you can try to thing I was thinking
[07:52] <fdoving> mrbrdo: for say 5% cache -> 'mplayer -cache-min 5'
[07:52] <nagyv> Sharkey: at the install prompt add something like framebuffer or similar. You can find out what I mean if you click on F2-F5.
[07:53] <Sharkey> ok i'll try
[07:53] <fdoving> mrbrdo: you can also use 'mplayer -cache 2048' for 2M of cache.. if you prefer that to a percentage.
[07:54] <haffy> Is there a standard root password ow what? I can figure it out
[07:54] <fdoving> !root > haffy
[07:54] <haffy> huh?
[07:54] <haffy> Why am I root? Thats werde
[07:54] <fdoving> haffy: read the message you got from ubotu.
[07:54] <fdoving> !root > fdoving
[07:55] <haffy> ok
[07:57] <haffy> cya
[08:01] <nagyv> how can I reconfigure a package? (I have installed mythtv, but gave the wrong mysql password)
[08:02] <fdoving> nagyv: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow packagename
[08:03] <nagyv> fdoving: thx
[08:03] <grothesk_> Is kernel 2.6.15-27-686 built without v4l support?
[08:03] <raven79> hi all
[08:03] <raven79> someone could help me to install kubuntu?
[08:03] <nagyv> grothesk_: I think v4l is included, but I am not sure about
[08:03] <raven79> i has some problem with rp-pppoe
[08:04] <Tm_T> v4l is ofcourse included
[08:04] <nagyv> raven79: what's your problem?
[08:04] <haffy> I think I fucked this up. I did change my user to group "users", and removed me from adm, admin. And now I can not use su -. I want a root account and my user to be a user. How do I do that? Pls help me with this
[08:04] <raven79> i think that that package was not automatically installed into kubuntu sistem
[08:04] <grothesk_> nagyv, it's because we tried the whole day to get a cetain webcom to work.
[08:04] <raven79> (now i'm not on that root partition)
[08:05] <simo> hello every on,I have the problem with webcam is included in mothercard computur
[08:05] <raven79> probably the package has another name...
[08:05] <simo> asus
[08:05] <raven79> because it is not installed into system (i tried both with adsl-start/setup and with rppoe-start)
[08:06] <nagyv> raven79: I had also some basic pppoe problems, but after looking into adept for necessary packages, everything worked without problem
[08:06] <nagyv> haffy: do you have a root account?
[08:06] <raven79> the system does not has those "binary"
[08:06] <raven79> nagyv: adept^
[08:06] <raven79> ?*
[08:06] <haffy> nagyv: I did as ubotu told me
[08:06] <nagyv> simo: forget about. the chipset is not supported. :(
[08:07] <raven79> nagyv: sorry but i'm really a beginner with kubuntu...
[08:07] <simo> okey thanks
[08:07] <nagyv> raven79: now problem. We will figure it out! (If my wifi want's it too :) )
[08:08] <raven79> nagyv: ;)
[08:08] <haffy> Need help, realy good help to.. This is imbarasing
[08:08] <nagyv> haffy: ubotu said to you how to give a password to the root user. So you have a password. Am I correct?
[08:08] <haffy> emberasing.. somthing like that anyway
[08:09] <haffy> yes, but I did change the "haffy" account to users. And took away "adm, admin" from it to. Beacuse root is root for me. And haffy is a user that can "su -".
[08:09] <nagyv> so you have a root password. Just log in typing su in the Konsole
[08:09] <haffy> don work
[08:09] <haffy> dont't work
[08:09] <raven79> sudo su
[08:09] <nagyv> hmm, in this case you don't have a root password :(
[08:09] <raven79> haffy: sudo su?
[08:09] <haffy> haffy@Kubuntu:/$ sudo su
[08:09] <haffy> haffy@Kubuntu:/$
[08:09] <haffy> Thats what happendes
[08:09] <raven79> haffy: whoami
[08:10] <haffy> give me the ressult of haffy
[08:10] <raven79> haffy: nothing...sorry
[08:10] <raven79> haffy: passwd root
[08:10] <raven79> to try to change root passwd
[08:11] <simo> sudo is Root
[08:11] <raven79> if you know root password...you can try to change it...
[08:11] <haffy> raven79:  I don have the permission to do that
[08:11] <nagyv> haffy: try to change the root password: sudo passwd root
[08:11] <haffy> under osx sudo is su
[08:11] <simo> su you mast have passwd for Root
[08:11] <MasterEvilAce> LAME. Is it possible for a cron job that's set to "daily" to run while you're using the computer?
[08:11] <MasterEvilAce> or does it wait until it's idle
[08:12] <raven79> simo: installing kubuntu system tells to type: "sudo su" to became root ;)
[08:12] <haffy> I re install insted, this was to xxxxx crazy...
[08:12] <raven79> haffy: boot with a live cd, and change root password
