[09:37] <the_hammer> fuck this im going to bed dam near 3 am here
[09:43] <will___> thanks cpk2.  that says I need xine but I already have it
[09:56] <Hexidigital_>  i need help with my CUPS server... i was able to get the KDE print manager to access the CUPS server, but i cannot view the available printers. any ideas?
[09:58] <nrdb> I install kubuntu 6.06 from the desktop livecd and it hangs early in the boot up sequence, can anyone help.
[10:01] <scorpion007> nrdb: how early in the boot sequence?
[10:01] <nrdb> scorpion007: near where it says "loading files for boot" or something like that.
[10:04] <scorpion007> nrdb: try pass 'acpi=off noacpi noapic nolapic' options for boot
[10:04] <scorpion007> nrdb: are you able to boot of livecds okay?
[10:06] <nrdb> scorpion007: yes i can, upgraded to dapper and am having troubles with the sound, I was going to try a fresh install (to a different partition) to see if that fixed it (as the sound works fine on the livecd).
[10:07] <kraut> moin
[10:12] <nrdb> scorpion007: I am going to try those new boot options now.  talk to you latter.
[10:15] <Hexidigital_> the KDE add printer wizard is not displaying my remote printer... any ideas on what i may have missed?
[10:19] <cpk2> Hexidigital_: printing in linux is usually a pain at best =\
[10:19] <Chousuke> It depends
[10:20] <Hexidigital_> cpk2::  yes, i see that :) ... but my printer DOES work, so in theory, so should remote CUPS
[10:20] <Chousuke> if you have a good printer, everything will work quite painlessly.

[10:39] <admiral_proFTW> or start a fail safe terminal
[10:39] <eeos> shell: so I could start it, install it, then install the drivers and so on
[10:39] <eeos> failsafe does not start
[10:39] <admiral_proFTW> eeos, what?
[10:39] <eeos> failsafe does hang in the same place as the normal installation
[10:39] <admiral_proFTW> eeos, where is that?
[10:40] <eeos> where the dm should start
[10:40] <admiral_proFTW> dm?
[10:40] <eeos> the low lvel window manager
[10:41] <eeos> lie kdm, gdm, xdm
[10:41] <admiral_proFTW> ah
[10:41] <eeos> s/lie/like
[10:42] <eeos> is it possible to pass a paramter to start on a different init level?
[10:42] <eeos> like, init 3 should be ok.
[10:43] <scott_> hey, ive finally got rid of my ati radeon 9600pro (total crap under linux) and got myself a shiny new nvidia 6800gs, what packages should i uninstall/configs to things to do before i remove my ati and put in my nice shiny new nvidia?
[10:43] <admiral_proFTW> uh yea
[10:43] <Healot> since ubuntu is debian, init 2 does init 3 and 5 at the same time
[10:44] <admiral_proFTW> i think you can do runlevel as a command
[10:44] <eeos> so there is no way of starting on a runlevel lower tha the graphic one?
[10:44] <eeos> I am sory I come from other distribution
[10:45] <admiral_proFTW> eeos, did you try recovery mode?
[10:47] <eeos> no, I did not. How do you start recoery mode?
[10:48] <Healot> "linux single" >> should avail grub menu if you install grub properly
[10:48] <eeos> healot: well, I am having the probems with the install disk, how can I install grub?
[10:50] <the_hammer> peek a boo
[10:50] <blyth> Any one know why, after installing SAMBA and sharing drives under SMB and nameing them, Ubuntu still asks for authorisation via a WINXP machine, when I enter my Linux auth into the XP system it still will not allow access? I have been to all the Guides at Ubuntuguide.org like (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_share_public_folders_with_read.2Fwrite_permissions_.28Authentication.3DNo.29)
[10:51] <scorpion007> eeos: does the CD hang or cause the pc to restart?
[10:51] <blyth> and followed them :)
[10:51] <admiral_proFTW> blyth, no idea, that was the problem I had when I was using SAMBA
[10:51] <blyth> Si there somthign other than SAMBA?
[10:51] <blyth> for WIN networking?
[10:52] <the_hammer> ok this is wayyy different
[10:52] <eeos> scorpion007: the CD hangs. Black screen. Laptop silent and still :-D.
[10:52] <the_hammer> hammer is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported
[10:52] <the_hammer> why am i getting this ?
[10:52] <admiral_proFTW> blyth, i dont know
[10:52] <the_hammer> trying sudo apt-get install update
[10:53] <the_hammer> eeos that not the command for mandriva?
[10:53] <blyth> Cool, is there another program for Ubuntu like SAMBA that will do the same thing?
[10:53] <scorpion007> eeos: try pass 'acpi=off noacpi noapic nolapic' options for boot
[10:53] <eeos> scorpion007: have already done
[10:53] <scorpion007> eeos: and no difference?
[10:53] <eeos> scorpion007: none
[10:54] <scorpion007> eeos: are you able to boot into live cds at all?
[10:54] <eeos> the_hammer: sorry, what command?
[10:54] <the_hammer> sudo?
[10:54] <eeos> scorpion007: it boots up to the kdm
[10:54] <eeos> scorpion007: then hangs
[10:55] <scorpion007> eeos: as in do you actually get any graphical display?
[10:55] <eeos> scorpion007: no, only the boot display with the logo, then hangs. no kdm.
[10:56] <scorpion007> ctrl+alt+f1
[10:56] <eeos> scorpion007: but the xorg seems to be running because if I do ctrl+alt+backspace
[10:56] <eeos> scorpion007: it does like restart something briefly:-D
[10:56] <eeos> scorpion007: what does that do?
[10:56] <scorpion007> try it
[10:57] <eeos> scorpion007: when the laptop hangs?
[10:57] <scorpion007> yeah
[10:57] <eeos> scorpion007: ok, let me go an try, I have to reboot. talk to you later. best.
[10:58] <the_hammer> eoos what command does mandriva use?
[10:58] <the_hammer> doesnt seem to accept sudo
[10:59] <aegeanlinux> try su
[10:59] <the_hammer> u: user apt-get does not exist
[10:59] <the_hammer> what the heck
[11:00] <aegeanlinux> first type su
[11:00] <vinboy> does anyone what fonts this screenshot is using? they look good http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/images/accounts1.png
[11:00] <aegeanlinux> then type the rest of the command
[11:00] <the_hammer> i did
[11:00] <the_hammer> [hammer@localhost ~] $ su apt-get install eggdrop
[11:00] <the_hammer> su: user apt-get does not exist

[11:01] <the_hammer> [hammer@localhost ~] $ su<CR>
[11:01] <the_hammer> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline
[11:01] <scorpion007> su then press enter
[11:01] <scorpion007> ...
[11:01] <the_hammer> weird
[11:01] <the_hammer> changed one was a $ and now is a #
[11:01] <scorpion007> means you are root :)
[11:02] <the_hammer> root@localhost hammer] # su apt-get install eggdrop
[11:02] <the_hammer> su: user apt-get does not exist
[11:02] <aegeanlinux> so, just DO NOT type rm -r /
[11:02] <aegeanlinux> ;)
[11:02] <scorpion007> now as root type apt-get install...
[11:02] <aegeanlinux> press su <ENTER>
[11:02] <aegeanlinux>  apt-get install eggdrop <ENTER>
[11:03] <the_hammer> root@localhost hammer] # su
[11:03] <the_hammer> [root@localhost hammer] # apt-get install eggdrop
[11:03] <the_hammer> bash: apt-get: command not found
[11:03] <aegeanlinux> what distro do you use?
[11:03] <the_hammer> mandriva
[11:03] <scorpion007> lol
[11:03] <the_hammer> 2006
[11:03] <aegeanlinux> does mandriva use apt
[11:03] <aegeanlinux> * ???
[11:03] <admiral_proFTW> no
[11:03] <scorpion007> isn't it rpm based?
[11:03] <aegeanlinux> Thought so.
[11:03] <admiral_proFTW> its not debian based
[11:03] <aegeanlinux> yes, it is
[11:04] <the_hammer> ok what i put for eggdrop?
[11:05] <the_hammer> the point/click packages didnt help wouldnt find it
[11:06] <aegeanlinux> do you use KDE?
[11:06] <aegeanlinux> have you tried a program called klik
[11:06] <the_hammer> just installed this so i havent tried anything
[11:06] <aegeanlinux> http://klik.atekon.de/
[11:07] <aegeanlinux> the_hammer: try a better distro like Kubuntu ;)
[11:12] <the_hammer> kubuntu didnt like my vid card
[11:13] <the_hammer> i have ultima 8.0 and also xandros both desktop and deluxe versions
[11:13] <the_hammer> many distros
[11:13] <admiral_proFTW> the_hammer, sounds like a reason to get a better video card
[11:13] <the_hammer> 256 saphire pci express
[11:13] <admiral_proFTW> man get 512
[11:14] <the_hammer> sure u gimmie the cash and i will do that
[11:14] <eeos> scorpion007: I have tried your suggestion. It works, but then I am completely stuck there. Is there a way to start the installer in text mode?
[11:14] <eeos> the_hammer: sorry, I saw you asked me something about Mandriva? what was it?
[11:15] <the_hammer> i forgot now
[11:16] <the_hammer> lol
[11:16] <eeos> the_hammer: :-D
[11:18] <scorpion007> eeos: Were there any messages/errors displayed there?
[11:19] <eeos> scorpion007: no. I removed the lock file from the tmp, then startx again.
[11:19] <scorpion007> eeos: BTW, is this the graphical livecd installer or the text-based one?
[11:19] <dirtyjayx> Guys i need some help with me Kubuntu system
[11:19] <eeos> scorpion007: graphical livecd installer
[11:20] <scorpion007> eeos: You should try the text-based one..it's really very simple :)
[11:20] <dirtyjayx> i installed kubuntu yesterday but i dont have any sound. I tried everything in the kmix but i still have no sound
[11:20] <eeos> scorpion007: yes, but I have just burn the other .... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
[11:20] <eeos> scorpion007: which measn also I have to download it from scratch

[11:39] <scheuri> was anyone able to get a network printer working (I have a HP Laserjet 2100 TN over networt)...if so...care to enlighten me?
[11:39] <Healot> is that network connected printer physically connected to a Windows host?
[11:39] <eeos> scorpion007:  do you which one is the image wth the text installer? is it the desktop one or the alternate one?
[11:39] <scheuri> no...it has a own "printserver"...its normal connected to network with RJ45
[11:39] <eeos> scorpion007: stupid question, found answer
[11:39] <eeos> scorpion007: apologise
[11:39] <Healot> are you in a Windows AD, scheuri?
[11:39] <scheuri> Healot: no...normal private network...at home...so no windows stuff that should be interferring...my printer just doesnt print...
[11:39] <scheuri> Healot: I can ping the machine, I know that IPP should work (worked with Debian Sarge), cant make nmap however...which somehow escapes me
[11:39] <scheuri> machine=printer
[11:39] <Healot> you know what's the IP address of the printer?
[11:39] <MilhousePunkRock> Hi everyone
[11:39] <scheuri> Healot: aye...affirmativ
[11:39] <MilhousePunkRock> I would like to have the Kubuntu boot screen (before KDE starts) in 1024*768. How do I do that?
[11:39] <scheuri> Healot: wait...oh my god...wait....
[11:40] <eeos> scorpion007: can you install drivers when you are using the live cd?
[11:41] <scheuri> Healot: I am now officially the most stupid person ever walked earth...:)...I mixed up IPs of Router and printer...arrrrrr
[11:42] <scheuri> I should REALLY write down the IPs I am using in my network
[11:43] <scheuri> Healot: thanks....
[11:44] <Healot> documentation is the key :0
[11:44] <scheuri> Healot: aye...it still doesnt work, but at least its not the IP anymore...;)
[11:48] <Healot> did you create the tcp/ip port for that print device, scheuri?
[11:49] <MilhousePunkRock> If I change the resolution of GRUB, will that only be for GRUB or for the subsequent boot stuff as well?
[11:50] <scheuri> Healot: I just changed from IPP to JetDirect...to test connectivity...and it worked...my printer prints...testpage and documents from OOo...
[11:50] <scheuri> Healot: cant really say why IPP didnt work, though
[11:51] <scheuri> and funny thing is...I still cant portscan it with nmap...strange
[11:52] <scheuri> ah now..it worked...okay...
[11:52] <scheuri> oh well...all ports are open...IPP, jetdirect, 515...actually IPP should have worked.
[11:53] <scheuri> Healot: anyway...thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction...one I should have walked a thousand times before coming here...;)
[11:57] <hexler> hi
[12:00] <hexler> I want to install a windows network printer "Lexmark X5150" and found driver at http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=56:2:0:133:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=1030&searchLang=en&searchLang=en  but I can't use the *.HQX file as a driver. Have I to do something before I can use it in the printer-wizard ?
[12:01] <noiesmo> hexler, it looks like a mac osx file format
[12:01] <noiesmo> hexler, not linux
[12:02] <noiesmo> hexler, check on linuxprinting.org for drivers or linux compatablity
[12:02] <hexler> noiesmo: badly there aren't driver for my printer
[12:03] <noiesmo> hexler, lexmark is poor for linux support i do believe therer is a driver development kit if you know a programer who can do drivers
[12:03] <scorpion007> eeos: sorry, was afk...I'm not sure. The text installer is alternate
[12:04] <eeos> scorpion007: I do realise it was a stupid question. it is in big ltter on the mirror. apologies.
[12:05] <scorpion007> eeos: Nno problem :) Hope you have better luck with the text version.
[12:05] <hexler> noiesmo: I wanted to try another driver that could work... but when I use the driver wizard and select any driver there is an error message that the system can't load the driver and creation of Foomatic-Driver will be canceled...  but  I am root
[12:06] <eeos> scorpion007: it is taking ages to download it. anyway, I will have a go at it. By the way, do you know how easy is to recompile the kernel on ubuntu?
[12:06] <noiesmo> hexler, sorry i am not sure about that
[12:06] <hexler> noiesmo: ok..  I'll try to download this driver again
[12:06] <scorpion007> eeos: Never tried, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be _that_ difficult...
[12:07] <noiesmo> hexler, np good luck
[12:07] <scorpion007> eeos: Why do you need to? Usually not worth the hassle
[12:07] <eeos> scorpion007: I need alsa 1.0.11 for managing the modem
[12:11] <eeos> scorpion007: need to go for a while. thanks. talk to you later.
[12:12] <dirtyjayx> i installed kubuntu yesterday but i dont have any sound. I tried everything in the kmix but i still have no sound
[12:12] <cpk2> for some reason i cant run kate as sudo...
[12:12] <h3sp4wn> gpk2: use kdesu
[12:14] <cpk2> not sure how i am supposed to use kdesu but sudo kdesu kate doesnt work
[12:14] <h3sp4wn> kdesu kate
[12:14] <noiesmo> cpk2, or gksu kate
[12:15] <cpk2> h3sp4wn: thats works (takes a long time) but it works, although i dunno why sudo kate doesnt work
[12:16] <h3sp4wn> Don't use sudo to run gui applications
[12:16] <h3sp4wn> (try to avoid running gui stuff as root anyway is the best thing)

[12:26] <alyn3d> hello there
[12:26] <alyn3d> I have a problem with Adept
[12:26] <noiesmo> hello
[12:26] <noiesmo> whats that
[12:27] <alyn3d> i try to remove or add any package with Adept, and it gives me the "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. " error. Any ideas? when I try to use apt-get from the command line, it says that "package metamonitor is in a state of damage"... or something like this..... what can I do ?
[12:27] <noiesmo> alyn3d, there is a conflict with an app or lib you already have installed
[12:28] <noiesmo> alyn3d, you can try aptitude from commandline it has  better package conflict resolution
[12:29] <noiesmo> alyn3d, also if you try apt-get install packagename from command line apt may tell you more ifo about the conflicts
[12:29] <alyn3d> I did that, I ran aptitude from the command line and tryed to remove metamonitor, but with the same result, it doesn't want to remove metamonitor package...
[12:30] <noiesmo> alyn3d, have you tried apt-get -f install ot apt-get install --fix-missing
[12:31] <alyn3d> no, I haven't ... let's see what that does....
[12:31] <noiesmo> ok
[12:31] <noiesmo> alyn3d, dont forget sudo or be root
[12:32] <alyn3d> here's what happens
[12:32] <alyn3d> :
[12:32] <alyn3d> alyn3d@Orion:~$ sudo apt-get install aterm

[12:32] <noiesmo> he didnt need to spam
[12:33] <hari> :)
[12:33] <gnomefreak> alyn3d@Orion:~$ sudo apt-get -f install aterm  (should not have a package name)
[12:33] <cpk2> man phpbb2 is really easy to get working =D
[12:34] <alyn3d> same error
[12:34] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: 1st dont paste in here please use pastebin
[12:34] <noiesmo> alyn3d, looks like dpkg cant fint metamonitor in /var/cache/apt/archives/ either
[12:34] <noiesmo> fint/find
[12:34] <alyn3d> gnomefreak, ok, I won't do that anymore
[12:34] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: next the command sudo apt-get -f install <<should not have a package name withit
[12:34] <noiesmo> alyn3d, here The package metamonitor needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it
[12:35] <noiesmo> alyn3d, yeh dont paste man :)
[12:35] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: also did you have unofficial repos that you got metamonitor from than comment it out or remove the repo
[12:35] <h3sp4wn> I would look in /var/lib/dpkg/metamonitor.* see if there is anything interesting there
[12:36] <alyn3d> no, the repo is not commented out
[12:36] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: try sudo apt-get -f install   <<< just that nothing else
[12:37] <alyn3d> same error
[12:37] <alyn3d> the package metamonitor has to be reinstalled
[12:37] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: was that package from PLF repo by chance?
[12:37] <noiesmo> i would check /var/cache/apt/archives/ for the metamonitor deb and if not there find it put it there then try again
[12:37] <noiesmo> alyn3d, i would check /var/cache/apt/archives/ for the metamonitor deb and if not there find it put it there then try again
[12:37] <alyn3d> gnomefreak, I don't remember...
[12:38] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: apt-cache policy metamonitor
[12:39] <alyn3d> gnomefreak, that command returns the version and path: /var/lib/dpkg/status
[12:40] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: best thing to do atm is to remove that package its no good to you broken
[12:40] <alyn3d> I can't find metamonitor package in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:40] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: you wont
[12:40] <alyn3d> gnomefreak, how can I remove the package if it doesn't let me to do so
[12:40] <alyn3d> ?
[12:41] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: --force-yes ;)
[12:41] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: how did you install it?
[12:42] <alyn3d> I install it by Adept
[12:42] <alyn3d> lokk what error it gives ne
[12:42] <alyn3d> when I try to remove it
[12:42] <alyn3d> dpkg: error processing metamonitor (--remove):
[12:42] <h3sp4wn> alyn3d: does it say you should reinstall it first ?
[12:42] <alyn3d> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[12:42] <alyn3d>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[12:43] <alyn3d> dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove --force-yes which isn't installed.
[12:43] <gnomefreak> alyn3d: sudo apt-get install --reinstall metamonitor
[12:43] <gnomefreak> try that
[12:43] <noiesmo> maybe package removed from repo if apt cant fetch from repo
[12:44] <alyn3d> snomefreak, nope... that gives the same error, "the package metamonitor has to be reinstalled"
[12:44] <h3sp4wn> There is a way to tell dpkg cleanly to ignore the fact its not installed properly (I had to do it yesterday)
[12:46] <alyn3d> any other ideas ?
[12:46] <kuzmaster> i please need some urgent help

[12:55] <kuzmaster> i was trying to copy it to a foler that i dont have permissions to
[12:55] <hari> ok i will try but when i went under "/usr/share/gmailfs" i have a python file there thats all that i can find

[02:19] <mathewfer> Hi does anybody know why I can not creat this file "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" in Kubuntu 6.06? It says permission denied.
[02:20] <cpk2> you can create that file, just not as that user =P
[02:23] <mathewfer> What do you mean by "just not as that user =P". Pls explain a bit more on that.
[02:24] <cpk2> if you do "sudo touch /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" it will create it as root
[02:25] <mathewfer> Thanks I will try that.
[02:25] <cpk2> touch is what makes an empty file btw
[02:26] <mathewfer> By the way, I tried "sudo cat > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_suplicat.conf" & that did not work.
[02:29] <cpk2> cat doesnt make files
[02:29] <cpk2> sudo touch /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_suplicat.conf will make an empty file named wpa_suplicat.conf
[02:31] <mathewfer> thanks
[02:37] <thyko> how do i make amarock shuffle?
[02:37] <thyko> amarok
[02:39] <mathewfer> Does anyone know "EasyUbuntu" is working currently for Kubuntu 6.06 to install java & falsh for the browser?
[02:40] <eliadosom> _mathewfer I used Automatix and I prefer install handmade
[02:40] <eliadosom> mathewfer I used Automatix and I prefer install handmade
[02:43] <cpk2> mathewfer: you can install java and flash with apt-get
[02:46] <dillinger> i just cant install easyubuntu
[02:48] <ubuntu> Hello, I am using Gentoo for nearly one year. Got the cd for kubuntu.Can kubuntu be updated as gentoo does by using portage?
[02:49] <mathewfer> with apt-get, Java is NOT selectable, I can not clcik it as it has got gray.
[02:49] <eliadosom> if universe reservoir I think that yes
[02:53] <Healot> ubuntu: yes, via "apt-get update" but ubuntu repos can have both binary and source
[02:54] <Healot> ubuntu: deb repos is binary, deb-src is source
[02:55] <Tommy2k4> i installed xubuntu-desktop but dont like it, how can i get kde back to default
[02:55] <dillinger> download kubuntu
[02:55] <Healot> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" >> Tommy2k4
[02:56] <Tommy2k4> ty

[02:57] <Healot> and restart X (or your PC), during KDE logon screen, choose KDE as your default desktop
[02:57] <Tommy2k4> anyone got any idea why i get that error several times whenever i run anything from konsole
[02:58] <ubuntu> I do understand that apt-get must be used by reading the previous answers
[03:01] <Healot> you can use any frontend like aptitude,adept,synaptic if you prefer
[03:05] <ubuntu> Thanks, Healot
[03:06] <Healot> if you prefer gentoo style "apt-get", you need to install "build-essential" (for compiler tool chain)
[03:06] <KDEfanboy> gentoo style?
[03:07] <Healot> KDEfanboy: compiling from source package (deb-src repos), gentoos style isn't it?
[03:07] <KDEfanboy> oic
[03:09] <ubuntu> Indeed, I was always updating via compiling the source code.

[03:12] <RogueX> Anyone know Amarok??
[03:12] <Tm_T> RogueX: sure
[03:13] <RogueX> Tm_T:  Will it play streaming internet music?
[03:13] <Tm_T> some yes

[03:15] <RogueX> Amarok shows everything as if its playing but no sound
[03:15] <Healot> choose mp3 stream
[03:15] <Tm_T> RogueX: what version of amaroK
[03:16] <Healot> install libxine-extracodecs first :)
[03:16] <Tm_T> and yes, mp3 stream should work just fine

[03:31] <DocTomoe> Hm, I would like to get advice on compiling kmail and applying source patches ... anyone feels competent?
[03:36] <closeasperil> hi! is there anyone who can tell me how to adjust the timing the audio track of an .avi ? the video track is slightly delayed or runs in a different speed i m afraid
[03:36] <gatekeeper> DocTomoe: the only bit of advice I can give you is to install build-essentials, and have a look a Checkinstall
[03:38] <robert__> anyone know how to reset the repository list, or know where i can down a default config file?

[03:40] <DocTomoe> !easysource
[03:40] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:40] <DocTomoe> there it is, robert__
[03:40] <robert__> thankyou
[03:41] <DocTomoe> gatekeeper: any ideas on "applying patches to source code"?
[03:41] <Jack1> kwalletmanager doesnt start and cannot be configured
[03:41] <Jack1> anyone know sth about it?
[03:42] <gatekeeper> DocTomoe: won't the latest source code have those patches?
[03:42] <DocTomoe> gatekeeper: as the patches fix bug #1015, which is in fact new functionality ("template engine"), I doubt it.
[03:42] <DocTomoe> gatekeeper: at least I don't have any template engine in my kmail ;)
[03:44] <cpk2> could someone tell me why when i try to do sudo echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf i get permission denied?
[03:44] <gatekeeper> DocTomoe: I am not familair with how linux do patches I presume there is #ifdef _THIS_PATCH compile code #endif so you just need to ensure the header has #define _THIS_PATCH inside it
[03:45] <DocTomoe> cpk2: check your passwords and permissions
[03:45] <DocTomoe> gatekeeper: this is somewhat too technical for me - I'm not a C++ person. Some easy "follow-me" rules would be great, but thanks anyway
[03:45] <cpk2> DocTomoe: i know the sudo password i am using is correct, and I dont see what there is that su wouldnt own
[03:46] <DocTomoe> cpk2: have you checked any other passwords (e.g. the ones in smtpd.conf)?
[03:47] <DocTomoe> it is authentification, after all. does your mail server auth against a database?
[03:47] <gatekeeper> DocTomoe: I presume you look at the header files to see what is defined and what is not, I would presume but don't know that all the defines would be present and just commented out or defined out if not used, only other thing I can suggest is a bit of googling
[03:49] <cpk2> it wasnt sudoing after the >>
[03:49] <cpk2> had to login as root
[03:50] <gatekeeper> DocTomoe: have a read: http://www.kegel.com/academy/opensource.html
[03:51] <ubuntu> .
[03:51] <DocTomoe> gatekeeper: *click*
[03:51] <DocTomoe> ah, enlightement is near.
[03:52] <robert__> damn repositories... serves me well not to fiddle
[03:53] <gatekeeper> robert__: what's up?
[03:54] <robert__> when apt-get tries to comm with au. .... .ubuntu.com it tries connecting to <IP_ADDRESS>, though i do remember i fiddled with some dns settings too..
[03:57] <gatekeeper> robert__: I take you didn't backup to start with?
[03:58] <robert__> installed 2 days b4 hand, so didnt see the point at the time
[03:58] <gatekeeper> !dns
[03:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about dns - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:59] <robert__> all good, can load the config from the live cd with any luck
[04:00] <gatekeeper> robert__: if you can sort your dns out, then sorting the repos is easy
[04:00] <robert__> looking at it now ;)
[04:05] <Hasserfuellt> Hallo zusammen
[04:08] <beatrix> Do you know streamtunner ?
[04:09] <beatrix> I can't download it with apt-get
[04:11] <DocTomoe> beatrix: might be called streamtuner (with one n)? I can get this with apt-get
[04:12] <beatrix> uhm
[04:12] <beatrix> DocTomoe: ok :) i try to download it
[04:12] <beatrix> DocTomoe: thanks
[04:18] <Tommy2k4> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168,  Major opcode:  145,  Minor opcode:  3,  Resource id:  0x0, Failed to open device
[04:18] <Tommy2k4> anyone got any idea why i get that error several times whenever i run anything from konsole
[04:18] <ivis> Where i can find  a virus scaneR?
[04:21] <fireshell> there is a virus scanner some where in the repositories. i think its under the universe section
[04:23] <cpk2> clamav
[04:23] <gatekeeper> clamav is in the repos, HowTo install AVG is in the ubuntu forums
[04:24] <cpk2> is a virus scanner
[04:24] <cpk2> dont know why you would need av though
[04:24] <walter> ?
[04:24] <fireshell> my thoughts too. there is also one called agerus or along those lines, cant remember its spelling
[04:25] <Tm_T> you might need virus scanner if you host mailserver
[04:25] <Tm_T> so you can check viruses before it end up to windows client
[04:26] <Tm_T> for example
[04:26] <fireshell> Tm_T: for a big mail server thats understandable... but clients should be running a virus scanner anyway
[04:27] <os2mac> two questions. how do you check the version of the kernel you are currently running, and how do you change the order of OS's in the boot loader change the default OS
[04:28] <serenity_WLAN> os2mac: try "/sysinfo" here
[04:28] <fireshell> Sysinfo for 'fireshellf': Linux 2.6.15-23-386 running KDE 3.5.2, CPU: MobileIntel(R)Celeron(R)CPU1.60GHz at 1592 MHz (3186 bogomips), , RAM: 211/218MB, 114 proc's, 1.11d up

[04:29] <fireshell> sorry, was curious
[04:29] <os2mac> ok anyone know the answer to the second question?
[04:30] <os2mac> and doesn't anyone have a wag on when Kubuntu is going to a 2.6.17+ kernel?
[04:33] <Viper550> Would you like to see my proposal for Kubuntu Edgy?
[04:33] <serenity_WLAN> os2mac: &boot/grub/menu.lst there you can change your boot order, but be carefull
[04:33] <gatekeeper> !grub

[04:34] <DocTomoe> hm, KDE tells me compiling it needs autoconf, and it is not found (but I installed it). Any ideas?
[04:35] <DocTomoe> corrections: make tells me
[04:35] <os2mac> serenity_WLAN: what are the dangers? common pitfalls?
[04:36] <serenity_WLAN> os2mac: fucking up that list and cannot boot anything
[04:37] <ShuT-> hm, seems like my sound is gone, i think the dwarfs took it away
[04:49] <Tommy2k4> can anyone help figure out why i get the error at the top of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18351 lots whenever running something from konsole
[04:51] <fireshell> .. got part of the repository working...
[04:51] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hi there, somebody can suggest me a way to concatenate all the files in a dir to a unique file?
[04:51] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i mean concatenate at bit level
[04:53] <scott_> how do i get to th nvidia pannel in kubuntu? it didnt install a menu shortcut :(
[04:55] <Healot> cat file1+file2+file3+... > outputfile
[04:56] <Tallia1Kubuntu> Healot: there are 150 files :) is there a way to do it by hand?
[04:56] <Tallia1Kubuntu> not by hand*
[04:56] <fireshell> anyone had probs with the australian archives mirror?
[04:56] <Healot> for loop Tallia1Kubuntu

[05:00] <Tommy2k4> how do i get kde back to defalt
[05:00] <Tommy2k4> i installed xubuntu-desktop but dont want it anymore
[05:01] <grizzly> there isn't resume support with apt-get???
[05:01] <Healot> -f
[05:02] <grizzly> after a restart?
[05:02] <dr_willis_> hmm never noticed.
[05:03] <h3sp4wn>  /var/cache/apt/archives/partial exists so it implies it has support for resume
[05:04] <grizzly> yes but it doesn't work after a restart
[05:04] <grizzly> atleast once you use spt-get without the -f option
[05:06] <h3sp4wn> grizzly: Anything that is downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives is definately kept after a reboot (maybe not the partial ones)
[05:06] <soldier> hi
[05:06] <soldier> wanted to know how to install flash player on firefox
[05:06] <h3sp4wn> The most irritating things is the ubuntu servers not having pdiff support so downloading the package list takes so long

[05:08] <Tommy2k4> apt-get remove gdm is not such a good idea
[05:09] <h3sp4wn> Why not ?
[05:09] <imbrandon> anyone in here running dual video cards ? i need a bit o help, kde seems to see them both ( see screen shot http://imbrandon.sytes.net/display.png ) but the second monitor isnt displaying anything
[05:09] <Tommy2k4> when i restarted X (in hope that kdm would now be default) it wouldnt load X and i was left with a terminal
[05:09] <h3sp4wn> imbrandon: Is that kde or windowS ?
[05:09] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, kde
[05:10] <imbrandon> ;)
[05:10] <fireshell> lol
[05:10] <Hawkwind> LOL h3sp4wn
[05:11] <imbrandon> i take that as a no ?
[05:11] <Tommy2k4> how can i make it load kdm on bootup, it just gives me a terminal
[05:12] <imbrandon> Tommy2k4, sudo apt-get install kdm again
[05:12] <h3sp4wn> imbrandon: 2 actual video cards ?
[05:12] <doppelganger_> apt-get install kdm
[05:12] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, yea
[05:12] <Hawkwind> imbrandon: I run two monitors, but with just one video card
[05:12] <doppelganger_> er, sorry
[05:13] <Tommy2k4> kdm is already the newest version.
[05:13] <admin_> Where are my programs stored if used with apt-get>?
[05:13] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: what you mean?
[05:13] <imbrandon> Tommy2k4, remove it and reinstall ( sudo apt-get --purge remove kdm && sudo apt-get install kdm )
[05:13] <doppelganger_> imbrandon: should he try removing kdm, and reinstalling?
[05:13] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: I mean, what is your problem
[05:13] <Shinzetsu> Well I installed some pgorams with apt-get but I dunno where they are
[05:14] <h3sp4wn> imbrandon: Are you getting x on both screens - i.e if you set DISPLAY onto the second can you get an x term on it ?
[05:14] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, no i get the monitor self test on the second screen
[05:14] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: well, just run taht app
[05:14] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: normally you don't have to care where they are
[05:14] <Shinzetsu> I need to go in its folder
[05:14] <Tm_T> ?
[05:14] <Tm_T> why
[05:15] <Shinzetsu> downloaded a skin :-)
[05:15] <imbrandon> Shinzetsu, why?
[05:15] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: what app?
[05:15] <Shinzetsu> aMSN
[05:15] <h3sp4wn> imbrandon: There was something in the release notes of xorg 7.1 which mentioned fixes for dual monitors with different makes of video cards
[05:15] <fireshell> ~/.amsn/
[05:15] <Tm_T> Shinzetsu: ~/.amsn/ propably has directory to that stuff
[05:15] <Tm_T> fireshell: murrr
[05:15] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, thats good but i'm not running 7.1 ;P
[05:16] <fireshell> Tm_T: ?
[05:16] <h3sp4wn> imbrandon: Backport the fixes ?
[05:16] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, its not , ok never mind
[05:16] <imbrandon> h3sp4wn, its a config error , not a bug
[05:16] <imbrandon> anyhow
[05:16] <Tommy2k4> well i think kdm was removed but it wouldnt install again
[05:17] <imbrandon> Tommy2k4, copy and paste this ( sudo apt-get --purge remove kdm && sudo apt-get install kdm )
[05:17] <Tommy2k4> i did
[05:17] <fireshell> its a config issue
[05:17] <fireshell> brb, i gotta find the file (kdm issue)
[05:18] <imbrandon> sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[05:18] <Shinzetsu> nope =/
[05:18] <Tommy2k4> wont work
[05:18] <Tommy2k4> ill pastebin the error
[05:19] <Tommy2k4> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18352
[05:19] <Tommy2k4> ignore the device 168 errors (unless you know how to fix it) i get them no matter what i run from console
[05:20] <imbrandon> the device errors are from an incorrect xorg.conf
[05:20] <Shinzetsu> when I look at edit file, the execute command is just 'amsn'
[05:20] <Tommy2k4> ty
[05:20] <Tommy2k4> i guess thats not important for the moment though
[05:20] <fireshell> thats the config file i was loking for
[05:20] <Tommy2k4> them errors at the bottom are the same that i got when apt-get install kdm
[05:21] <imbrandon> you got some debconf issues looks like
[05:21] <Tommy2k4> :s
[05:21] <imbrandon> hrm afk
[05:21] <Tommy2k4> no :'(
[05:22] <fireshell> in freebsd /etc/initd.conf holds the default window manager, wots the debian equiv?
[05:23] <h3sp4wn> .xsession (if you are using startx or xdm)
[05:31] <icedragon1> Is kubuntu the same as ubuntu with kde?
[05:31] <BKaj> yup
[05:31] <BKaj> or so I read
[05:31] <icedragon1> so if I have ubuntu installed with gnome now, and I want to switch to KDE, I could do that and my OS would effectively be Kubuntu?
[05:32] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: Yes.  It's all KDE based where as Ubuntu is all Gnome based, and Xubuntu is all Xfce based
[05:32] <BKaj> ubuntu uses gnome as the default desktop I think
[05:32] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:32] <apol> icedragon1: yes, it is like this
[05:32] <icedragon1> man that's awesome
[05:32] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: That will bring in everything KDE related
[05:32] <icedragon1> I love it
[05:32] <icedragon1> I love you guys
[05:32] <icedragon1> what about getting rid of gnome?
[05:32] <Tommy2k4> can someone help me get kdm working again
[05:33] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: If you want Xfce, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:33] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: It will NOT remove Gnome
[05:33] <icedragon1> if I want to remove gnome, how would I do that?  apt-get remove gnome?
[05:33] <apol> Tommy2k4: why isn't it working?
[05:33] <icedragon1> should I ask in #ubuntu instead?
[05:33] <BKaj> Hawkwind: so you canhave the gnome option at login ?
[05:33] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: Not sure, but why would you want to ?  Just leave it installed incase KDE messes up and won't start.  That way you have another wm to boot to
[05:34] <icedragon1> Hawkwind, because of disk space :)
[05:34] <apol> icedragon1: remove ubuntu-desktop "i think"
[05:34] <Hawkwind> BKaj: You can have as many wm's at boot to choose from as you want
[05:34] <Tommy2k4> i did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop but didnt like it, so i tried to get kdm back to default with dpkg-reconfigure kdm which made no difference, so i apt-get remove gdm which wouldnt load X
[05:34] <Tommy2k4> when i startx it loads up xubuntu again
[05:34] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: I'd try apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[05:34] <Hawkwind> icedragon1: But I'd have backups first
[05:34] <icedragon1> yah I'll make sure kde works first
[05:34] <BKaj> Hawkwind: that sound very cool , what others are available ?
[05:34] <apol> you have to dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[05:34] <icedragon1> thank you BKaj, Hawkwind, and apol
[05:34] <Tommy2k4> it made no difference
[05:35] <Hawkwind> BKaj: There are many many wm's available.  fluxbox, windowmaker, enlightenment, E17, ratpoison, AfterStep, blackbox, openbox, and the list goes on and on
[05:35] <Tommy2k4> so i "sudo apt-get --purge remove kdm && sudo apt-get install kdm" which removed kdm but when trying to reinstall it it gave the errors at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18352
[05:35] <apol> Hawkwind: enlightment and e17 is the same
[05:35] <BKaj> really ...all ubuntu supported ?
[05:35] <Hawkwind> apol: No they are not
[05:36] <Hawkwind> apol: I use E17, it's completely different from enlightenment
[05:36] <icedragon1> I used fluxbox on my laptop before.  It's neat and lightweight, if that's what you're looking for, but you have to do some command-line editing IIRC
[05:36] <icedragon1> but that's usually the case anyways
[05:36] <Tommy2k4> hm i think kdm might be installed because apt-get install kdm again says i have newest version
[05:36] <apol> Hawkwind: e17 is the new version, its a development version actually
[05:36] <Hawkwind> E17 is a much newer and completely different version of enlightenment, which enlightenment is actually called E16
[05:36] <apol> Tommy2k4: lemme see
[05:36] <Hawkwind> apol: I know, I happen to be involved in development, thanks :)
[05:36] <Tommy2k4> ignore the device 168 errors (unless you know how to fix it) i get them no matter what i run from console
[05:37] <Hawkwind> apol: Again, enlightenment and E17 are two totally different wm's though.  They are NOTHING alike
[05:38] <apol> Tommy2k4: to fix these errors
[05:38] <apol> you have to remove some lines in xorg.conf
[05:38] <Tommy2k4> k which ones
[05:38] <lra_> hi
[05:38] <apol> which try to configure some pointing devices
[05:38] <lra_> what are the minimum specs for kubuntu?
[05:38] <apol> its explained somewhere in the wiki
[05:38] <Tommy2k4> !wiki
[05:38] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[05:39] <lra_> was that for me apol?
[05:40] <Tommy2k4> cant find anything in the wiki
[05:40] <Tommy2k4> not exactly sure what to look for thogh
[05:40] <apol> lra_: where do you want to install it?
[05:40] <lra_> onto a 450mhz 64mb ram laptop
[05:40] <apol> uh
[05:41] <lra_> is that a ni-way! ?
[05:41] <lra_> no-way
[05:41] <apol> lra_: if you try to, you will need to use the alternate install cd
[05:41] <lra_> ?
[05:41] <v3ctor> i am currently running it on a 500(499)MHz 128MB ram laptop
[05:42] <apol> yes, it is possible, but I haven't tried it
[05:42] <Hawkwind> KDE is going to run pretty slowly on that system.    You can make it look anyway you want, just like with any other window manager
[05:46] <lra_> i xfce
[05:46] <Tommy2k4> k gonna try restarting X
[05:48] <doppelganger_> !ndiswrapper
[05:48] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[05:49] <h3sp4wn> doppelganger_: If you are wanting to use ndiswrapper I would recommend downloading 1.21 from sourceforge
[05:49] <dmhouse> Is it possible to use PHP5 and PHP4 alongside each other on the same Apache?
[05:50] <h3sp4wn> dmhouse:Its possible (for different virtual hosts) but probably not worth the effort
[05:53] <Tommy2k4> hm
[05:53] <Tommy2k4> progress
[05:53] <Tommy2k4> xfce is still default session but i can login to kde now
[05:53] <Tommy2k4> but
[05:54] <Tommy2k4> there was a few errors about theme file not found
[05:54] <knob> h3sp4wn: i instalkled ndiswrapper and did all the business and got the usb wireless card working as we were discuessing a few days ago. now i'm coming from that laptop with the wireless but ever time u restart kubuntu u need to reprobe and then add the lan through the wireless assistant. does anyone know how to get it to save the settings@
[05:54] <Tommy2k4> and kicker has no applets on it
[05:54] <Tommy2k4> cant see what windows are open, no time no tray icons etc
[05:54] <h3sp4wn> knob: Do you have ndiswrapper in /etc/modules ?
[05:55] <knob> how would i know that
[05:55] <knob> just open up the directory?
[05:55] <h3sp4wn> knob: You are just doing sudo modprobe ndiswrapper each time then it works right ?
[05:55] <Tommy2k4> thanks to the person that showed me that thread on how to get rid of the inputdevice errors because it worked :)
[05:55] <knob> yup
[05:55] <h3sp4wn> knob: kdesu kate /etc/modules
[05:56] <h3sp4wn> knob: just add 'ndiswrapper' to the bottom of there
[05:56] <knob> when i run this  "kdesu kate /etc/modules" it says x server cannot be found?
[05:57] <h3sp4wn> Are you running kde ?
[05:57] <knob> yeh i am running it from KDE
[05:57] <h3sp4wn> sudo vim /etc/modules
[05:58] <Tommy2k4> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18360
[05:59] <h3sp4wn> knob: actually just run sudo -i
[05:59] <h3sp4wn> knob: then
[05:59] <h3sp4wn> knob: echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
[05:59] <knob> right
[05:59] <knob> i ran that command
[06:00] <knob> when it restarts ikt should now work ?? right ??
[06:00] <h3sp4wn> reboot and it should load ndiswrapper automatically
[06:00] <knob> nice one
[06:00] <knob> be back in 2 sevcs
[06:00] <h3sp4wn> I don't know (or want to know) anything about wireless assistant tho
[06:00] <knob> kk

[06:16] <BKaj> I somehow ended up wit a corrupted synaptic , it wouldn't load the repos so I uninstalled it , now when i try to reinstall it thru ADEPT it won't install , so I tried to do so in the console , but i receive this message E: Package synaptic has no installation candidate
[06:17] <will____> BKaj: I had a similar problem.  open your source list in a text editor and delete all of the # signs on any line starting with deb
[06:17] <BKaj> ok thx
[06:18] <will____> BKaj: you know how to do that?
[06:18] <aliasfred> !source-o-matic

[06:18] <aliasfred> BKaj: the above url allows to easily produce a clean source.list
[06:19] <aliasfred> then to 'sudo apt-get update'

[06:30] <flake> that's right, by default i can't write to them anyway
[06:30] <flake> sorry

[06:40] <Hawkwind> BKaj: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[06:40] <Hawkwind> BKaj: That should install it
[06:40] <BKaj> nope tried that
[06:40] <skavenge> its on your cd as well
[06:40] <abattoir_> BKaj: it is a repository which contains all the packages which come installed in your system by default
[06:40] <Hawkwind> BKaj: Then sounds like you need to enable some sources in your sources.list
[06:40] <Lord_Athur> is there another program designed to watch VCDs?
[06:41] <abattoir_> skavenge: i dont think all the packages in main(like ubuntu ones) will be present in a kubuntu cd
[06:41] <h3sp4wn> Lord_Athur: I use codeine
[06:41] <BKaj> Hawkwind:  what i posyed above is the response to, sudo apt-get install synaptic
[06:41] <Hawkwind> BKaj: Then sounds like you need to enable some sources in your sources.list
[06:41] <h3sp4wn> Lord_Athur: think kaffeine is a bit too much for just watching videos
[06:41] <skavenge> abattoir_: oh really, i thought the only difference on the cds was the wm?
[06:42] <Lord_Athur> hahaha, maybe h3sp4wn but if it can't be used for watching videos.....
[06:42] <h3sp4wn> Lord_Athur: of course it can
[06:42] <h3sp4wn> !info codeine
[06:42] <ubotu> codeine: video player for KDE designed to be as simple as possible. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.0-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 153 kB, installed size 544 kB
[06:42] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: What's the URL to your 2.6.17 kernel you posted here yesterday ?
[06:42] <abattoir_> BKaj: i'm pretty much sure 'synaptic' even though a main package would not be in a kubuntu cd... i could very much be mistaken, of course.. ;)
[06:43] <Lord_Athur> codeine can't detect the CD
[06:43] <Lord_Athur> :(
[06:43] <abattoir_> BKaj: sorry, the previous message was for skavenge
[06:43] <Lord_Athur> what else could it be?
[06:43] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: It was 2.6.16 - and I wouldn't use it at this moment (its not got that security issue patched yet)
[06:44] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: Ahhh ok.  I've got someone who just installed Kubuntu for a second time in a month and has issues when installing the 686 kernel for his SMP box.  He can use the 386 fine, but needs/wants the 686
[06:44] <Lord_Athur> I got it, Kaffeine could detect the cds, thanks all, bye
[06:44] <will____> BKaj: open adept package manager
[06:45] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: Is there a specific reason why he needs 2.6.17 ?
[06:45] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: No.  I thought it was 2.6.17 that I saw on the URL you posted yesterday
[06:46] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: He just needs to get SMP working, which if he installs the 686 kernel it locks up on boot at the Kubuntu splash screen
[06:46] <will____> BKaj: then from adept - manage repositories
[06:46] <Tommy2k4> if i have kopete on another desktop and i get a msg will it flash or anything to notify me (i have taskbar set to only show windows on current desktop)
[06:46] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: It is 2.6.16 with realtime-preemption - (really is going to be for people who need low latency for sound stuff)
[06:47] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: Ah ok.  Thanks for that information.  Maybe he can get the -26 686 kernel working for him somehow
[06:47] <BKaj> adept has only one repos
[06:47] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: Is it definately smp he is using not hyperthreading ?
[06:47] <Hawkwind> BKaj: Then you need to enable repos.  We told you this yesterday as well
[06:47] <abattoir_> Tommy2k4: if you have the system tray bubble notification thing, and you can see the kopete icon in the system tray, a bubble should pop when you get a new message
[06:48] <will____> BKaj: all the lines that start with deb should be black, the rest of the lines should be grey
[06:48] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: It's a system that has HT support, so he needs the SMP kernel
[06:48] <Tommy2k4> no but im sure i can configure it to bubble when i recieve a msg :) ty
[06:48] <will____> right click those lines (w/ deb) and enable
[06:48] <BKaj> there is only one repos listed in adept
[06:48] <Hawkwind> BKaj: So enable more
[06:48] <Hawkwind> !repos
[06:48] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[06:48] <Hawkwind> BKaj: ^^^^^^^^^^^
[06:48] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: Hyperthreading is a waste of time without using intels compiler afaik
[06:49] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: I have an HT system that I do nothing special with except install the 686 kernel on Kubuntu.  It's much quicker than using the 386 kernel which doesn't support SMP
[06:49] <Hawkwind> Especially when compiling or building packages.  It makes a big difference
[06:49] <will____> ok.  I need some similar help to what I am trying to give
[06:50] <h3sp4wn> Hawkwind: More than another real processor ?
[06:50] <BKaj> !easysource
[06:50] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:50] <Hawkwind> h3sp4wn: Not more than a dual core system, no.  But it makes a big difference compared to just a single processor without HT/SMP support
[06:50] <will____> I am having trouble playing mp3s on both amarok or kaffeine (or anything)
[06:50] <will____> I have amarok/xine
[06:50] <Hawkwind> will____: You need the restricted formats page
[06:50] <Hawkwind> !restricted formats

[06:51] <will____> yah.  I went there
[06:51] <ivan255> bom  dia
[06:51] <BKaj> Hawkwind:  I fucked things up today by deleting all my repos when trying DL and install E17 :(
[06:51] <will____> Hawkwind: that says I need xine
[06:51] <Hawkwind> BKaj: Easy on the language please
[06:51] <Hawkwind> BKaj: You need to install E17 via CVS by compiling it.  That's the best way to do it.  Read http://get-e.org
[06:52] <BKaj> ok , trying not to get too angry at myself
[06:52] <will____> Hawkwind: i have xine.  however when I search for xine in adept installer it finds extra plugins for xine.  do i need this?
[06:52] <Hawkwind> will____: You've got to do everything on that page for mp3 support to work
[06:52] <h3sp4wn> BKaj: I am going to build some packages for it for edgy starting today (unofficial repo though)
[06:52] <Hawkwind> will____: I personally just installed everything on that page and everything plays now
[06:52] <DoppelGa1ger> yo doppelganger_ say bye bye
[06:52] <will____> Hawkwind: k I'll give it another shot
[06:53] <BKaj> nevermind E17 , it's obviously too complicated for my understanding at this point...just wanna get the rpos back and synaptic to the same sertup as previous to an hr ago :)
[06:53] <DoppelGa1ger> idiot
[06:54] <DoppelGanger> sup Hawkwind
[06:54] <abattoir_> will____: what error message do you get, if any ?
[06:54] <DoppelGanger> long time no torture
[06:56] <DoppelGanger> oh look fake doppelganger__ has returned
[07:04] <will____> Hawkwind: I know this is a popular problem today, but I can't find libxine-extracodecs in adept.  I have libxine-main installed and fully upgraded.
[07:04] <feydin> hi there, kde does not care about my choice what OS to boot next if i log off
[07:04] <feydin> im using grub
[07:04] <will____> Hawkwind: and I have the universe repos enabled (i think)
[07:05] <Hawkwind> It's in multiverse
[07:05] <Hawkwind> !info libxine-extracodecs
[07:05] <ubotu> libxine-extracodecs: the xine video/media player library, binary files. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.1+ubuntu1-2 (dapper), package size 1148 kB, installed size 2976 kB
[07:05] <feydin>  /boot is mounted.. any suggestions?
[07:05] <Hawkwind> will____: apt-cache policy libxine-extracodecs will give you such information
[07:06] <Hawkwind> will____: You'll discover I NEVER use the GUI tools for package management.  Much easier to do things from CLI, and it seems to work better
[07:06] <Tommy2k4> how do i turn off the fade-in on the tooltips of things in kicker
[07:06] <Tommy2k4> nvm got it
[07:07] <Tommy2k4> would be nice to have the same tooltips as normal bt without the animation
[07:07] <Hawkwind> Tommy2k4: You can.  It's in kcontrol
[07:08] <will____> Hawkwind: "installed: (none) canidate: none ..."
[07:08] <Hawkwind> Tommy2k4: Might even be an option if you right click on the kicker and go to settings
[07:08] <Hawkwind> will____: You need to enable multiverse, then sudo apt-get update
[07:09] <will____> Hawkwind: i think it is enabled?
[07:09] <Hawkwind> will____: If it was, you could install libxine-extracodecs then
[07:10] <will____> Hawkwind: how do I enable then
[07:10] <Hawkwind> !multiverse
[07:10] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:15] <gnomefreak> will____: you need to enable multiverse
[07:16] <Tommy2k4> any way to force all windows of specific apps onto a certain desktop
[07:16] <RogueX> Is there any advantage to using Nvidia drivers if you can live without GL?
[07:16] <grizzly> Tommy2k4: yes , but in my windowmanager enlightenment
[07:17] <h3sp4wn> RogueX: Composite makes it look alot clearer (on my lcd panel anyway)
[07:17] <Tommy2k4> in kde?
[07:18] <RogueX> Hello H3sp4wn good to see you again...  The problem is that every time I install them it totally wrecks my system.. Dell D800 Laptoppp
[07:18] <grizzly> Tommy2k4: well you can replace kdes window manager with enlightenment.
[07:19] <RogueX> H3sp4wn:  And I am frustrated to tell you how many times I have installed Kubuntu in the last week...  just to say some days it was 2 times... LOL
[07:20] <h3sp4wn> RogueX: reinstalling anything is never a solution (I am running edgy and haven't had to reinstall (yet))
[07:20] <abattoir_> Tommy2k4: click on the icon in the windeco(the icon next to the title of the window)->Advanced->Special Application Settings
[07:20] <RogueX> H3sp4wn: And you are right the screen is very much clearer..
[07:21] <h3sp4wn> RogueX: With or without composite ?
[07:21] <gatekeeper> RogueX, why do you keep reinstalling?
[07:21] <RogueX> H3sp4wn: With composite...
[07:21] <Harmental> hi everybody...
[07:22] <h3sp4wn> RogueX: So how do you know that if its not working ? has it worked before or ?
[07:22] <Harmental> i have a question....how can we set programs that requiere root rights to automatically start at boot (im thinking of firestarter)
[07:22] <RogueX> gatekeeper: because it's so much fun?  LOL no just kidding.. because I would get it to the point that X would not run trying to fix Xorg.conf... LOL
[07:23] <Tommy2k4> thanks abattoir
[07:23] <RogueX> h3sp4wn: because it would run in 1650x ??  and not in 1920x1200 like it was suppose to but everything was MUCH clearer...
[07:24] <h3sp4wn> RogueX: 1920x1200 ? Have you setup the modelines properly ?
[07:24] <h3sp4wn> !fixvideores
[07:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixvideores - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:24] <h3sp4wn> !fixvideo
[07:24] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:24] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  And because I would install packages and mess it up like it crashed when I upgraded to KDE 3.5.4
[07:27] <gatekeeper> RogueX, in the case xorg.conf I would make a copy of the file which you could go back to when it all went wrong, as for KDE 3.5.4 unless it has something you really need that the present version doesn't then there is no point
[07:28] <Tommy2k4> can i make it so if im on desktop1 and i open an app thats forced to desktop 4 it will activate desktop 4
[07:28] <RogueX> h3sp4wn: I have tried everything I could.  Followed all the stuff online that I could find... the few times that I got it to work it was unstable... :(  restart the laptop and it would go back to the other mode
[07:29] <gatekeeper> RogueX, if you look on the forums there is backup howto which would be quicker than reinstalling
[07:29] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  Understand..  just thought no big deal.. its out so upgrade.. LOLll
[07:29] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  that is definatly what I need to find.  (grin)
[07:31] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  I can say that I am an expert now getting the  base install done now in record time... even to the point I started a bash script to do half the changes for me. LOL
[07:32] <gatekeeper> RogueX, whatever floats your boat :-) http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[07:32] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  what I dont like to doing is using Automatix and EasyUbuntu because I dont know what it's installing I but then I dont know what packages to install without them to get things running... catch 22
[07:33] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  I would rather not.  But have been going with what I could do.  :)
[07:36] <gatekeeper> RogueX, I don't use them because they are more trouble than they are worth, (asking for trouble) I install exactly what I need manual using apt-get/synaptic. Got some usefull links on my little home page: http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home
[07:36] <RogueX> gatekeeper:  It's like there is no way of knowing what packages you need to get video running not just the player.. example... to get one video to play I found I needed to install w32codec
[07:37] <Wolfpaw> hiho
[07:37] <RogueX> gatekeeper: then later I found something else that wouldnt run until I had installed something called libxine-extracodecs
[07:37] <BKaj> what's the cmd to edit the sources list ?
[07:37] <gatekeeper> RogueX, have a look at those links and ubuntu wiki site
[07:38] <RogueX> BKaj: vim or Kate will work
[07:38] <BKaj> yes RogueX, but what;s the cmd, I need to be sudo
[07:38] <BKaj> other wise i can't save the edit
[07:39] <BKaj> using kate
[07:39] <RogueX> BKaj:  you can do a sudo bash
[07:39] <RogueX> BKaj:then your root in the window
[07:39] <gatekeeper> RogueX, I have installed  libxine-extracodecs  w32codec and realplayer 10 that so far covers all my needs with the other media packages installed by default
[07:40] <BKaj> then, edit "sources list"  ?
[07:40] <RogueX> Bjaj:yep that would be it
[07:40] <RogueX> Bkaj:or you can edit them from inside of Apt-get
[07:42] <gatekeeper> BKaj, go to Run Command... kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list or from the cli sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:42] <RogueX> gatekeeper: thanks guess I should have been more clear.. :0
[07:43] <RogueX> gatekeeper: what about packages libarts1-mpeglib or libakode2-mpeg?
[07:44] <gatekeeper> RogueX, haven't had a need for them
[07:44] <BKaj> gatekeeper:  ok thx it worked
[07:45] <gatekeeper> BKaj, yw :-)
[07:46] <Flosoft> hey
[07:46] <Flosoft> is there anyone who knows something about LVM?
[07:46] <gatekeeper> RogueX, only install what you need to get what you want working, only installed realplayer 10 because the BBC insist on using that format, otherwise I would not have done so
[07:47] <RogueX> gatekeeper: thats the way I like it too... I even uninstall all the packages that I know I dont want to unclutter things in KDE :)
[07:47] <BKaj> ok, now all I need to do is get synaptic reinstalled but there's something blocking it
[07:47] <RogueX> gatekeeper:but if you dont know what does what to get something done thats not easy to doooo
[07:48] <Tommy2k4> how do i stop sendmail trying to run on bootup? ive apt-get remove sendmail and rm /etc/init.d/sendmail but it still tries
[07:49] <trappist> Tommy2k4: man update-rc.d
[07:49] <BKaj> anyone have an idea what this might be  ? "synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[07:50] <gatekeeper> RogueX, that is why there is a ubuntu wiki site forums & irc, if in doubt ask first
[07:50] <RogueX> gatekeeper: is the some quick and easy howto for IRC that would tell me things like how to change color or to register so you can private message?
[07:50] <ironfroggy> how can i query if a service in /etc/init.d/ is currently running?
[07:50] <aliasfred> BKaj: as said previously :) regenerate clean source list, do apt-get update then apt-get install synaptic :)
[07:50] <aliasfred> !source-o-matic
[07:50] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:50] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I get the register instructions but I dont get them
[07:50] <Tommy2k4> ty trappist
[07:51] <gatekeeper> RogueX, not sure, others might
[07:51] <RogueX> gatekeeper: for example how did you change your text color?
[07:52] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I see your replies in Red... is everyone seeing red or just me?
[07:52] <MilhousePunkRock> How do I connect to my WPA-PSK protected wireless network?
[07:52] <MilhousePunkRock> Like this, RogueX?
[07:53] <RogueX> Milhouse:  LOL yes
[07:53] <MilhousePunkRock> That's when someone says your name, RogueX
[07:54] <BKaj> ok aliasfred, my memory sucks , thx , doing the update now
[07:54] <gatekeeper> RogueX, you see it in red because your name is in the reply so it is red to stand out, there will be a menu item called configure or settings depending what you are using
[07:54] <RogueX> MilhousePunkRock: so if you type the name with a colon it does that auto?  is there anyway to short type long names such as yours? LOL
[07:54] <RogueX> gatekeeper: using Konversationn
[07:54] <MilhousePunkRock> Yes, type the first few letters and use the tab key, RogueX
[07:55] <gatekeeper> BKaj, if you have done an update with clean sources and still have trouble then you can try: sudo killall apt-get
[07:55] <RogueX> MilhousePunkRock: AWESOME!  LOL I have been putting my typeing skills to the test to keep up here!
[07:55] <MilhousePunkRock> RogueX: It even makes the colon for you if you start with the name and press tab
[07:55] <gatekeeper> RogueX, configure konversation
[07:56] <RogueX> gatekeeper: Thanks!
[07:56] <MilhousePunkRock> Took me a while to figure that out too, RogueX
[07:56] <RogueX> MilhousePunkRock: does everyone see the reply too??
[07:56] <gatekeeper> RogueX, if i was on my other machine i could tell you which menu it is in but i am not :-)
[07:56] <RogueX> gatekeeper: np problem I can wing it.. :)
[07:57] <MilhousePunkRock> The reply yes, but not in red, RogueX
[07:57] <RogueX> MilhousePunkRock: Cool
[07:57] <RogueX> Anyone know how to check if your nick is verified???
[07:57] <BKaj> try pm
[07:58] <RogueX> pm
[07:58] <RogueX> pm?
[07:58] <BKaj> privte message someone
[07:58] <BKaj> if it's verified youcan chat privately
[07:58] <RogueX> BKaj: I tried that it says no..
[07:59] <BKaj> then you need verification
[07:59] <RogueX> BKaj: but I went through the process so I must have did something wrong I guess....
[08:00] <aliasfred> RogueX: when you do 'whois thenicknameofthepersonn' you will see 'n=' or 'i=' in front of it. n is for not identified, and 'i=' is for identified
[08:00] <RogueX> I am trying to go from windows power user to Linux only ... NOT easy! LOL
[08:01] <aliasfred> RogueX: what is the nickname you want to check
[08:01] <gatekeeper> RogueX, there is a transition guide on my little home page the url I gave you earlier
[08:01] <RogueX> aliasfred: Mine... LOL
[08:01] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I am looking at it now..
[08:02] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I am a Windows power user and I am use to getting my way.. lol  Linux is not nice that way.... LOL
[08:02] <aliasfred><EMAIL_ADDRESS><- you are not identified
[08:03] <gatekeeper> RogueX, it is much better than windows, but like everything you need to learn it
[08:03] <gatekeeper> linux that is
[08:03] <RogueX> aliasfred: so I am totally new to this IRC thing... just landed here by using Kubuntu..
[08:04] <aliasfred> thus people will have the same trouble to do the linux->window that window->linux
[08:04] <gatekeeper> RogueX, windows takes control away from you, linux gives it back to you
[08:04] <aliasfred> personnally i have to do the linux->window and it is very painfull too
[08:04] <centyx> RogueX: leave while you can. IRC is EVIIIIIIIIILE!
[08:04] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I love it when it is working.. but the Xorg.conf thing for the last two weeks had me ready to throw the laptop out the window yesterday.  I had to put it in the desk and come back a couple hrs later
[08:05] <RogueX> centyx: So far IRC is rocking.. these guys in here are awesome... gatekeeper and H3sp4n!
[08:05] <centyx> RogueX: ;)
[08:05] <gatekeeper> RogueX, persistence is usually rewarded :-)
[08:07] <MilhousePunkRock> RogueX: The same happened to me, I figured this would be much faster to solve problems than posting on some forum
[08:07] <gatekeeper> RogueX, :-)
[08:07] <RogueX> gatekeeper: Funny thing is I have been using linux for work for over 10 years now this is the first time I have tried to use it for personal use... how do you like that.. lol  I started with SLAK no gui
[08:10] <gatekeeper> RogueX, well I haven't been using linux that long, and still learning a lot, you should be much more of an expert than me :-)
[08:11] <RogueX> gatekeeper: No I just used it for exactly what I needed... work stuff not regular..  all network centric console stuff...  this GUI stuff is showing me a thing or 2
[08:11] <centyx> hrm.
[08:12] <centyx> anyone know how to add to the list of fonts you can select from in Konsole?
[08:12] <BKaj> ok, synaptic is installed in read only mode ...can't use it unless I'm root ...how do get root ?
[08:12] <RogueX> gatekeeper: And vmware ROCKS with Linux... safety net...
[08:12] <RogueX> BKaj: sudo bash in xterm
[08:12] <gatekeeper> BKaj, not in your menu?
[08:13] <BKaj> not in menu
[08:13] <RogueX> gatekeeper: sorry keep forgetting menus.... so use to command line...
[08:13] <RogueX> gatekeeper: I live in xterm 1/2 the time
[08:14] <will____> anyone here use firefox and gmail?
[08:14] <gatekeeper> BKaj, manually add it command: kdesu synaptic dialog will ask for password when you start it
[08:14] <gatekeeper> will____, yes both
[08:15] <BKaj> ok did kdesu synaptic in the run cmd and it worked
[08:15] <will____> gatekeeper: cool.  do you have to individually load jpgs in emails?
[08:15] <will____> gatekeeper: is there a way to make them work in the email itself
[08:15] <gatekeeper> RogueX, for gui use Run Command.. kde su whatever
[08:15] <BKaj> I figgerd it might
[08:16] <Tommy2k4> how come if i delete a file thats playing in kaffeine it will still play
[08:16] <gatekeeper> will____, not sure I understand the question attach them?
[08:18] <RogueX> gatekeeper: Jeez never even noticed that.. I am learning by leaps and bounds.
[08:18] <RogueX> Root:  NOT GOOD
[08:19] <Cntryboy> Anyone know where I can get codec pack for kaffeine?
[08:19] <RogueX> abattoir: if your running as root GO CHANGE
[08:19] <Endrigo_Araujo> how to connect to brasnet?
[08:19] <gatekeeper> RogueX, cool :-)
[08:19] <abattoir> RogueX: chill :)
[08:19] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: debian-multimedia
[08:19] <Endrigo_Araujo> anyone knows?
[08:19] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, which one?
[08:20] <Cntryboy> I have vlc, but even if I make each thing play with it, still pops up with annoying kaffeine by default, so where can I get codec pack for it?
[08:20] <RogueX> abattoir: ok...  just thought I would warn..
[08:20] <RogueX> abattoir: :)
[08:21] <will____> gatekeeper: I get emails with photo boxes. but the photos don't load.  I can go to the bottom of the email and open the attached pics automatically, but was wondering if there was a way to make it load the photos WITHIN the email upon opening the email
[08:21] <Endrigo_Araujo> anyone from Brazil?
[08:21] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, that sounds like the file association is incorrectly set up
[08:21] <will____> gatekeeper: replace automatically with manually
[08:21] <jfrcortez> #c++-es
[08:21] <Cntryboy> ???
[08:21] <RogueX> Anyone have formatting problems with Firefox
[08:22] <Lynoure> RogueX: What formating, when printing, with all webpages, with some particular or something else?
[08:22] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: I click open with vlc, then at bottom i click the box to always use it with this file association.. it updates, but never works
[08:23] <RogueX> Lynoure: with some pages I get text overlapping other text.
[08:23] <gatekeeper> will____, windows outlook is the only one I know that has that feature (along with free viruses :-) ) others might know otherwise
[08:23] <Cntryboy> so does anyone know where codec pack is for kaffiene
[08:23] <Lynoure> RogueX: Can you give an example of such page?
[08:23] <trappist> will____: what email client?
[08:23] <Cntryboy> h3spa3wn: sorry didn't see urs, so debian-multimedia is that it?
[08:24] <RogueX> will____: I can get images to display in email with a setting in Thunderbird... dont know if thats what you want.
[08:24] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: If you are looking for w32codecs that has it
[08:24] <Cntryboy> h3sp4wn: rather
[08:24] <trappist> in kmail it's view->attachments->inline
[08:24] <RogueX> Lynoure: www.break.com is one I use to try things out because there is a lot of stuff on there.
[08:25] <Cntryboy> h3sp4wn: ive also noticed with kaffeine I have no sounds, is that because I need audio codec also?
[08:25] <Cntryboy> speaker is slashed even if mute is off
[08:25] <Lynoure> RogueX: nomen ist omen or how does it go...
[08:25] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: you probably need libxine-extracodecs
[08:25] <RogueX> Lynoure: ??
[08:26] <Cntryboy> h3sp4wn: whats the difference in the first ones and the 2nd ones u just gave?
[08:26] <BKaj> Ok, in oreder to DL E17 from CVS sources the sources list must be edited and the cvs sources added ...is this correct ?
[08:27] <h3sp4wn> BKaj: Which repository are you trying to use ?
[08:27] <Lynoure> RogueX: It'd be funny but non-ironic if break.com broke. But it does not on my FF, unless I increase the text size about five times
[08:27] <BKaj> cvs
[08:27] <h3sp4wn> sources.list is nothing to do with cvs
[08:28] <RogueX> Lynoure: :)  ok  the tabs on the page go across and then the last tab goes to the next line over the text.  On windows box with FF no problem
[08:28] <will____> gatekeeper: im just using the gmail website in firefox
[08:28] <BKaj> ok, what is it
[08:28] <abattoir> !br
[08:28] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[08:28] <BKaj> ?
[08:28] <will____> gatekeeper: do you recommend otherwise?
[08:28] <gatekeeper> trappist, thanx kmail info usefull tip bit
[08:28] <abattoir> Endrigo_Araujo: maybe someone there ^^^^
[08:28] <BKaj> BBL
[08:28] <RogueX> gatekeeper: Thunderbird has the same switch also
[08:28] <Lynoure> RogueX: That sounds pretty much what I get with a significant font size increase... hmm.
[08:29] <will____> gatekeeper: when I used gmail (website) with windows the photos came up
[08:29] <RogueX> Lynoure: I thought the same but I still have it at the default setting of 9 I think.
[08:30] <Lynoure> RogueX: try ctrl+0 to make sure, but I think with size like this you'd notice it being quite big
[08:30] <centyx> anyone know how to add the list of fonts konsole can use?
[08:31] <gatekeeper> will____, RogueX says you can use Thunderbird and trappist has give you the kmail tip bit, I guess it's what takes your fancy, think you can gmail from a pop3 client although I never tried to set it up, think there is a howto in the ubuntu forums
[08:31] <idonthack> hello
[08:31] <trappist> centyx: it should be able to use any monospace font you have installed
[08:32] <RogueX> Lynoure: I just tried ctrl + ) nothing happend.. also the page comes up right for a sec then readjusts to overlap
[08:32] <centyx> trappist: ok thanks
[08:32] <idonthack> i've tried to install kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu, but i get an error. is this the right room to discuss that?
[08:32] <abattoir> idonthack: sure. what is the error?
[08:33] <will____> thanks guys.  I'll play around with your suggestions a bit
[08:33] <idonthack> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:33] <idonthack>   kubuntu-desktop: Depends: kdegraphics-kfile-plugins but it is not going to be installed
[08:33] <idonthack> E: Broken packages
[08:33] <gatekeeper> will____, which browser did you use in windows?
[08:33] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: Don't use unofficial repositories
[08:33] <Cntryboy> h3sp4wn: so whats the difference in the 2 codec packages u told me about?
[08:33] <Cntryboy> I have 2.1KB I need to know b4 I waste time and hours for wrong thing :(
[08:34] <h3sp4wn> libxine-extracodecs is really all you should need
[08:34] <h3sp4wn> (w32codecs is support for all the windows stuff that isn't supported any other way)
[08:35] <idonthack> h3sp4n: i'm pretty sure i'm running only official repos, but where can i get a list of them to check?
[08:35] <idonthack> or how can i revert?
[08:35] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, those 2 codecs are the only ones I use, seems to cover most stuff
[08:35] <centyx> trappist: this is a stupid question, but do you know of any monospace fonts that can correctly display ansi characters such as were used in the gaudy BitchX themes etc? I ported a BitchX theme to irssi a long time ago, and I'd like to keep using it.
[08:36] <Cntryboy> okay thx
[08:37] <chx> something almost constantly writes to my HDD ( 0  0<PHONE_NUMBER>72  43008 309332    0    0     0   108  392  1754  7  1 92  0 a line from vmstat -- note that 108)
[08:37] <chx> how can I find out which process so I can shoot it down?
[08:38] <trappist> centyx: no, I don't know much about that stuff
[08:38] <gatekeeper> !repositories
[08:38] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[08:38] <centyx> trappist: me either ;) thanks anyway
[08:38] <lucky> Hi.  I am having problems playing flac files in amarok 1.4.1 that was offered on the kubuntu site.  Apparently its a bug in amarok + libxine.  Its apparently been fixed in a newer version of libxine.  Is there some way to file  a bug report for kubuntu or how do i use another backend with amarok 1.4.1 ?
[08:38] <gatekeeper> idonthack, ^^^
[08:39] <centyx> lucky: you can install xine 1.1.2
[08:39] <Lynoure> RogueX: I'm too lazy to troubleshoot it further now... My FF is <IP_ADDRESS> btw
[08:39] <makinvaja> hello
[08:39] <lucky> centyx: how do i do that?
[08:39] <idonthack> kk thanks
[08:39] <abattoir> RogueX: thanks for your concern though :P
[08:39] <Cntryboy> mmm
[08:39] <RogueX> Lynoure: ok thanks anyway
[08:39] <Cntryboy> both are those packages aren't in my sources
[08:39] <makinvaja> um
[08:39] <Cntryboy> do I have to add special source lines?
[08:40] <Cntryboy> urls rather
[08:40] <makinvaja> somebody knows something about video?
[08:40] <RogueX> abattoir: no problem was just wanting help
[08:40] <makinvaja> I mean
[08:40] <centyx> lucky: n/m it'd probably be best to just wait until ubuntu/kubuntu releases a package for it
[08:40] <makinvaja> how can i know what codec uses a video file?
[08:41] <lucky> centyx: any idea when that would be ? :/
[08:41] <makinvaja> I know in Windows (Gspot) but not in linux
[08:41] <Cntryboy> h3sp3wn: What url do I need to add in my source.list to get these codecs?
[08:41] <trappist> lucky: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu
[08:41] <trappist> lucky: to file bugreports
[08:41] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home have look here
[08:41] <lucky> trappist: thanks
[08:41] <centyx> lucky: no idea, sorry
[08:41] <Cntryboy> k
[08:41] <lucky> i'll do that
[08:41] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: enable multiverse - will be commented out
[08:41] <centyx> afk
[08:42] <Lynoure> RogueX: Just quit my job in QA and it being a web team, been troubleshooting stuff like this occasionally for the job. Usually takes being there or a vnc or similar to find the reason... And I'm so happy to be free of web layout bug troubleshooting :)
[08:42] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, there is a wget command for the w32codecs on that url I gave you
[08:42] <Cntryboy> yes I know dling it now
[08:42] <RogueX> Lynoure: I understand that.. :)
[08:42] <Cntryboy> what about extracodecs?
[08:43] <h3sp4wn>  http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[08:43] <makinvaja> Cntryboy: is to me?
[08:43] <ivis> Hi where i can get cool desklets for gnome ? please help
[08:43] <h3sp4wn> cntryboy: libxine-extracodecs is in multiverse
[08:43] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, as h3sp4wn you need to enable the correct repos, info is also there
[08:43] <abattoir> ivis: gdesklets.org ?
[08:43] <makinvaja> ah, i suposse not
[08:43] <h3sp4wn> !info libxine-extracodecs
[08:43] <abattoir> ivis: people at #ubuntu might know better though
[08:43] <ubotu> libxine-extracodecs: the xine video/media player library, binary files. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.1+ubuntu1-2 (dapper), package size 1148 kB, installed size 2976 kB
[08:43] <Cntryboy> all my repos are enabled for multiverse
[08:43] <ivis> ok thanks
[08:44] <makinvaja> ok, again .... somebody know how to discover which codec uses a file? (like Gspot in windows), (later i would need to convert this file to a code supported by my home dvd player)
[08:45] <Cntryboy> all i know is my multiverse is enabled
[08:45] <Cntryboy> multi/unver both are
[08:47] <idonthack> i have removed all unofficial repositories and enabled all of the official ubuntu repositories when trying to install kubuntu-desktop. i get the same error. it appears to be a problem with libpoppler1-qt: it requires 0.5.1-0ubuntu7 of libpoppler1, but 0.5.3-0ubuntu1 is in the repository
[08:49] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: apt-cache policy libpoppler1-qt
[08:49] <funky_munky> hello
[08:49] <idonthack> libpoppler1-qt:
[08:49] <idonthack>   Installed: (none)
[08:49] <idonthack>   Candidate: 0.5.1-0ubuntu7
[08:49] <idonthack>   Version table:

[08:49] <idonthack>         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
[08:51] <funky_munky> can anyone here help me to learn how to import data file into openoffice's calc limited 65536 rows or how to reduce my text file to something manageable using perl?
[08:56] <idonthack> sooo.... any ideas, h3sp4wn? or someone else?
[08:58] <gatekeeper> idonthack, the only thing i can think of is to see if there are any devlopers in #ubuntu + 1 who might be aqble to help you, some times they come in here
[08:58] <idonthack> ok
[08:59] <Cntryboy> back
[09:00] <bent> Hey again. I've restarted my computer, but it is still complaning that something is using apt-get.
[09:00] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: on that page you sent me where exactly is it talking about libxine-extracodecs?
[09:00] <Cntryboy> small txt stuff I can barely make it out
[09:01] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, that package is in the repos
[09:01] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper not for me it's not
[09:01] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, if i was on my other machine i could tell which repos
[09:01] <Cntryboy> ive dl'ed everything under the sun for multiverse.. unless I have to manually add a link to source.list I should have it
[09:01] <Tommy2k4> how do i disable bluetooth? seems pointless having it running when i will never use it
[09:02] <admiral_proFTW> Tommy2k4, uninstall it?
[09:02] <Tommy2k4> good idea
[09:02] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: thats okay, but that site u sent me to u said it shows me how there, what link to that page?
[09:02] <gatekeeper> let us take a look at sources.list, pop it into pastebin
[09:03] <admiral_proFTW> Tommy2k4, that was the answer I got when i asked the same question
[09:03] <trident523> I've restarted my computer, but it is still complaning that something is using apt-get. And, I have no clue what else could be using it.
[09:03] <Healot> you can simply remove bluetooth packages
[09:04] <Cntryboy> ok
[09:04] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, use kdesu kate not sudo gedit, this will give you all the repos you need it is what I use: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[09:05] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: sudo apt-get install  libpoppler1-qt=0.5.1-0ubuntu7
[09:05] <idonthack> h3sp4wn, did not work. it says:  libpoppler1-qt: Depends: libpoppler1 (= 0.5.1-0ubuntu7) but 0.5.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[09:06] <idonthack> should i do the same command with libpoppler1=0.5.1-0ubuntu7 first and then try to install libpoppler1-qt?
[09:06] <centyx> does anyone here have a microsoft wireless optical mouse 2.0?
[09:06] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217592
[09:07] <centyx> i wanna know if the scroll wheel is supposed to click like a third buttom
[09:07] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpoppler1-qt=0.5.1-0ubuntu7
[09:07] <centyx> s/buttom/button
[09:07] <Cntryboy> js im pasting my sourcelist for u
[09:07] <Cntryboy> 2.1KB
[09:07] <admiral_proFTW> centyx, yes
[09:07] <Cntryboy> i can't go to thread to thread like u, takes me 10 min
[09:07] <trident523> centyx: Mine does, but I dont know if it's a 2.0
[09:07] <idonthack> same error
[09:07] <admiral_proFTW> it depends on the mouse really
[09:07] <admiral_proFTW> some have horizontal click
[09:08] <admiral_proFTW> for the scroll button
[09:08] <idonthack> the -qt version isn't installed in the first place so i don't know what you're expecting with --reinstall
[09:08] <centyx> admiral_proFTW: i had to put mine back together after my wife's boss literally threw his away ( across the parking lot ) and i don't think i've got it put together right :P
[09:08] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, wooow just found it went straight to it
[09:08] <admiral_proFTW> centyx, hmm
[09:08] <centyx> it's a pain to not have the scroll wheel act as a third button when you're in firefox and trying to autoscroll
[09:08] <centyx> admiral_proFTW: it scrolls, it just doesn't click
[09:09] <admiral_proFTW> i once took apart a scroll mouse and couldn't put it back togetehre
[09:09] <admiral_proFTW> centyx, i get you. and yes that does seem like a pain
[09:10] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: sudo apt-get remove --purge libpoppler1
[09:10] <centyx> i'll take it apart and try again
[09:10] <centyx> admiral_proFTW: have you got the tilt wheel to work in linux?
[09:11] <admiral_proFTW> i dont have one, but my friend does
[09:11] <idonthack> hmmm. h3sp4wn that will remove things i want to keep, like cups
[09:11] <admiral_proFTW> and it works
[09:11] <centyx> ah
[09:11] <Cntryboy_> grr I hate freaking dialup bs
[09:11] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: just remove them anyway (when you install kubuntu-desktop it will put them back)
[09:11] <centyx> admiral_proFTW: this one tilts
[09:11] <idonthack> ook
[09:12] <Cntryboy> stupid pastebin.ca won't load
[09:12] <Cntryboy> pastebin.com wont load
[09:12] <admiral_proFTW> it should work. I say should, because I know of at least one that works
[09:12] <Cntryboy> I hate stupid sites that don't work good with dialup
[09:12] <h3sp4wn> idonthack: Dont use purge if you want to keep cups
[09:12] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, no broadband available?
[09:12] <idonthack> ok kubuntu-desktop is installing now
[09:13] <Cntryboy> 4 min down the road, but the cheapos won't bring it down this road
[09:13] <Cntryboy> :(
[09:13] <Cntryboy> Im stressed I need to toke a sec
[09:13] <Cntryboy> I feel like throwing this pos out the winder
[09:14] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: Maybe download the dvd from work or something (it has packages for the whole of main on it)
[09:16] <Cntryboy> well I want to download the dvd, but someone told me for example I have like updates I need to get but can't, anyways they told me the dvd wouldn't have the updates why not?
[09:16] <Cntryboy> when i go to mom/dads house i'll prob get it, what do u mean in the (    ) I didn't follow that
[09:17] <Cntryboy> btw heres my source
[09:17] <Cntryboy> http://pastebin.com/752400
[09:17] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: You will still need the security updates
[09:17] <Hawkwind> Cntryboy: The CD/DVD was made a while back, so there are always going to be updates online that you need to get
[09:17] <Cntryboy> toked, now ready for some skoal :)
[09:17] <Cntryboy> when will 6.07 dapper come out
[09:17] <Cntryboy> or what ever the next version is
[09:18] <Healot> 6.10 >> 10-2006
[09:19] <gatekeeper> hmmm pastebin on go sloooow
[09:19] <grizzly> !kernel
[09:19] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:19] <Cntryboy> U know gang I do like linux, I really do. But it's so fustrating at time when ur a noob.  And from what I read only profess. packages is around 1mb while up is 14KB lol. and pings sux
[09:23] <Cntryboy> Healot: hows that? I do suck at linux thats an obvious one.. but how would u get that from windows or apples?
[09:23] <BKaj> wow, you in the US Cntryboy
[09:23] <Cntryboy> BKaj: yes
[09:23] <Cntryboy> Tennessee
[09:23] <Cntryboy> usa
[09:23] <BKaj> ok, that's too bad
[09:24] <Cntryboy> dual isdn wouldn't be too bad, but it cost more than dsl/cable around here lol
[09:24] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, pastebin doesn't seem to want to load for me, might have to ask one of the others to check it for sorry :-(
[09:25] <BKaj> Canada here, there a dish service here exclusive for internet , 2MB down 300Kb up , no landlines needed 67US/mo
[09:25] <Hawkwind> Cntryboy: Use pastebin.ca instead of pastebin.com
[09:25] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: yah it took me from the time u asked me until when i pasted it
[09:25] <Cntryboy> hawkwind: I usually do, but it wouldn't load at all today
[09:25] <Cntryboy> I can try now js
[09:25] <Hawkwind> BKaj: That's NUTS!!!!!!!!!!  I pay $50 for 8Mb/512K
[09:26] <BKaj> well when yer in the boonies you pay
[09:26] <Cntryboy> hawkwind: u got cable or dsl
[09:26] <Cntryboy> thats about what my dad gets
[09:26] <BKaj> I pay 50cdn for 6mb down and 700kb up
[09:26] <Cntryboy> but ive dl'ed at 10mb b4
[09:26] <Hawkwind> Cntryboy: Cable.  DSL is as slow as dial-up compared to what I have :P
[09:26] <Cntryboy> u have comcast I take it?
[09:26] <Cntryboy> what dad has
[09:26] <Cntryboy> for same price and speeds
[09:27] <Hawkwind> Cntryboy: No.  I have Time Warner/Road Runner
[09:27] <Cntryboy> ahh oka
[09:27] <Hawkwind> Comcast is probably the worst ISP other than AOL
[09:27] <Cntryboy> road runner in the day I had friends that used to uncapp it
[09:27] <BKaj> fibre eh ?
[09:27] <Cntryboy> when it used to be capped
[09:27] <Cntryboy> but can't do that now days I don't guess
[09:27] <Cntryboy> yah pastebin.ca is usually fast as lighting for this slow dialup, but today it won't load at all for me
[09:28] <Hawkwind> I'm hoping we get FiOS here soon.  They have a 50MB package they offer for $40 a month
[09:28] <Cntryboy> nice
[09:28] <doppelganger_> !qt
[09:28] <ubotu> qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and a lot of other applications. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package.
[09:28] <BKaj> where is that Hawkwind?
[09:28] <Hawkwind> BKaj: Houston, Texas
[09:28] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, you have definately got probs with nyour repos, use the repos here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories comment out non free
[09:28] <Cntryboy> comcast offers the speeds u have now for 19 a month for 6 months, prob what ill get when and if i move
[09:29] <BKaj> FiOS is really spotty ..here and there but no real plan it seems
[09:29] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: how ya know if u didn't look at my sources.list
[09:31] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy, pastebin just loaded, off out now so have to hand you over to one of the others
[09:41] <RogueX> anyone know why I would not be able to chown on a file?
[09:41] <trident523> I've restarted my computer, but it is still complaning that something is using apt-get.
[09:46] <MehAdult> Hawkwind: FIOS would be nice, but I doubt it'll be out for a while.
[09:46] <MehAdult> It's only in 6 states I think, last I checked.
[09:48] <larson9999> h3sp4wn: i saw that captorials put up a screenkast showing how to install screenkast on kubuntu.
[09:49] <h3sp4wn> larson9999: Do you know what I got it working - but my dapper chroot I was making it in was polluted (by me updating libc and udev )
[09:50] <larson9999> h3sp4wn: oh.  what did you do to get it working?
[09:50] <larson9999> h3sp4wn: they have packages for both up now.
[09:50] <h3sp4wn> larson9999: I have been trying to repeat it on and off for a while
[09:51] <h3sp4wn> larson9999: I built ffmpeg from svn with almost everything enabled
[09:52] <larson9999> h3sp4wn: i see.
[09:52] <lmosher> So I just booted kubuntu for my 2nd time. I had installed firefox last time and it worked fine. Now whenever I type in a dialog box firefox freezes after the first letter
[09:53] <h3sp4wn> larson9999: I can't figure out properly at what point it was working
[09:53] <lmosher> The address bar is fine, but if I type in a text box or in the search-bar at the top it freezes. It's done it about 10 times (require termination and restart of firefox)
[09:54] <knapper_> Hi: I am getting the following error when trying to copy a dvd using k9copy: "An error occurred while running DVDAuthor: STAT: VOBU 0 at 0MB, 1 PGCS"
[09:54] <knapper_> Anyone familiar with this error?
[09:55] <Hawkwind> MehAdult: It's in Texas and should be in my area by the end of the year they say
[09:57] <knapper_> Anyone
[09:57] <knapper_> ?
[09:58] <MehAdult> Hawkwind: Lucky :p
[10:02] <dimsuz> Hi! I'm planning to try kubuntu and I'm curious what are the package sizes compared to their .tar.{gz,bz2} variants?
[10:03] <aliasfred> dimsuz: it depends of the packages, usually .tgz are smaller, why do you ask that ?
[10:03] <dimsuz> aliasfred: that's because I'm on dialup and I wonder how long will it take to update some package... :)
[10:04] <dimsuz> aliasfred: although I've heard something about debdelta... Is it working?
[10:04] <abattoir_> dimsuz: which one? maybe ubotu can tell us the size
[10:04] <aliasfred> dimsuz: update ? not full install ? is this clear ?
[10:05] <aliasfred> i mean else you know about shipit, i guess
[10:05] <aliasfred> dimsuz: never heard of debdelta :)
[10:05] <dimsuz> abattoir_: let's take kdelibs for example :)
[10:05] <dimsuz> aliasfred: yes, update. If i have kdelibs-3.5.1 and want kdelibs-3.5.2 for example
[10:05] <abattoir_> dimsuz: oh, i thought you were looking for a specific package... ok anyways...
[10:05] <abattoir_> !info kdelibs
[10:05] <ubotu> kdelibs: core libraries from the official KDE release. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 88 kB
[10:06] <abattoir_> hehe, that's misleading :)
[10:06] <aliasfred> hehe :) see it is small :)
[10:06] <dimsuz> ubotu: s/kB/mB/ ? :)
[10:06] <aliasfred> dimsuz: yep you would need something like rsync
[10:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about s/kB/mB/ ? :) - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:06] <abattoir_> dimsuz: ubotu is never wrong :P
[10:06] <abattoir_> !ubotu
[10:06] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[10:07] <dimsuz> aliasfred: yes, I know about shipit - just got the disc delivered! :)
[10:07] <dimsuz> abattoir_: you or ubotu is joking? :) Recall that I'm a newbie and can believe in almost everything :P
[10:08] <abattoir_> dimsuz: ubotu is a bot, a computer program :)
[10:08] <dimsuz> abattoir_: yes, I understood that :)
[10:08] <Specimen> but its nick isnt registered?
[10:08] <Specimen> so is it officially in this channel
[10:08] <dimsuz> abattoir_: so it was wrong about those kB? :)
[10:09] <abattoir_> well, you can PM it, so i guess it is registered
[10:09] <Specimen> ah
[10:09] <Specimen> ok
[10:09] <aliasfred> dimsuz: debdelta the programm is in ubuntu, i dunno if the repository support
[10:09] <abattoir_> dimsuz: no, in kubuntu, unlike KDE, the components of kdelibs are independently packaged
[10:10] <abattoir_> *well, its not exactly packaged in KDE ;)
[10:10] <dimsuz> aliasfred: ok. I dont think I'll update to often like i do it in gentoo now :)
[10:10] <abattoir_> so kdelibs here, is just a metapackaged which would install all the components
[10:10] <abattoir_> *metapackage
[10:10] <dimsuz> abattoir_: ...which in turn will download a big files, yes?
[10:11] <aliasfred> dimsuz: but the debdelta stuff is a good idea and match the ubuntu policy about 'even to low bw people'
[10:11] <lnxKDE> I got my Kubuntu and ubuntu CDs from canonical :)
[10:11] <abattoir_> dimsuz: yes, i think kdelibs-bin and kdelibs-data
[10:11] <lnxKDE> very nice :)
[10:11] <lnxKDE> also got some ubuntu stickers :D
[10:11] <abattoir_> !info kdelibs-bin
[10:11] <ubotu> kdelibs-bin: core binaries for all KDE applications. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 (dapper), package size 794 kB, installed size 2488 kB
[10:11] <abattoir_> !info kdelibs-bin
[10:12] <abattoir_> !info kdelibs-data

[10:12] <abattoir_> dimsuz: there you go :)
[10:12] <abattoir> dimsuz: .... and kdelibs4c2a too
[10:12] <dimsuz> abattoir_: wow! 6 MB is less than 15 MB of kdelibs.tar.bz2 here
[10:13] <dimsuz> abattoir: whats this?
[10:13] <abattoir> !info kdelibs4c2a
[10:13] <ubotu> kdelibs4c2a: core libraries for all KDE applications. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 (dapper), package size 8139 kB, installed size 24336 kB
[10:13] <abattoir> there comes the 8 MB ;)
[10:14] <dimsuz> abattoir: hmm. cant understand from description what this kdelibs4c2a thing is :)
[10:14] <abattoir> dimsuz: i'd suggest using the debs, compiling KDE from source might be troublesome
[10:14] <dimsuz> abattoir: yes, yes, I'm just comparing it to my gentoo source tarballs :)
[10:14] <dimsuz> abattoir: anyway, soon I'll be using kde from kde4's subversion trunk :)
[10:14] <abattoir> dimsuz: aah, ok :)
[10:15] <dimsuz> abattoir: as long as it becomes usable :)
[10:15] <aliasfred> dimsuz: you dev on kde4 ?
[10:15] <abattoir> dimsuz: well, the devs are 'using' it ;)
[10:15] <dimsuz> aliasfred: yup :). doing kdegames development mostly.
[10:16] <dimsuz> abattoir: yes :)
[10:16] <dimsuz> abattoir: but basic sesssion isn
[10:16] <abattoir> dimsuz: any particular game? if i may ask?
[10:16] <dimsuz> ...isn't runnable yet
[10:16] <dimsuz> abattoir: not any particular. now I'm busy with porting kdegames module to qt4/kde4 api
[10:17] <abattoir> dimsuz: oh ok, cool :)
[10:17] <Specimen> so i just got my kubuntu cds through shipit today
[10:17] <Specimen> but they dont work :(
[10:17] <Specimen> i stick them in any of three computers ive got here
[10:18] <Specimen> and they get as far as the menu
[10:18] <dimsuz> abattoir: i must admit that I'm not very experienced kde dev - i'm working with it only a few month. But I quickly gain experience ;)
[10:18] <Specimen> but they freeze when i try to launch
[10:18] <Specimen> can anyone please assist me?
[10:18] <Specimen> i so yearn for a malware-free environment...
[10:19] <aliasfred> Specimen: the menu you are talking about is 'grub' ? a not nice menu in text when the cd boot ?
[10:19] <Specimen> no i get the nice menu
[10:19] <Specimen> the one with "launch/install"
[10:19] <Specimen> and graphics safe mode
[10:19] <Specimen> dadada
[10:19] <Specimen> but any of the first three options dont work
[10:19] <Specimen> sorta...
[10:19] <Specimen> in two of the computers
[10:20] <Specimen> it just freezes when it gets
[10:20] <Specimen> to
[10:20] <Specimen> trying to mount
[10:20] <Specimen> the root drive
[10:20] <Specimen> partition
[10:20] <Specimen> whatever
[10:20] <aliasfred> Specimen: do you have scsi ?
[10:20] <Specimen> no
[10:20] <Specimen> ide
[10:20] <aliasfred> when you say 'freeze', how long did you wai t?
[10:20] <Specimen> several minutes
[10:21] <aliasfred> is this laptop or desktop ?
[10:21] <Specimen> should i try longer?
[10:21] <Specimen> its a 400MHz tower and a 950MHz tower
[10:21] <aliasfred> hmm ok
[10:21] <Specimen> the first with 128Mb of RAM (a little low I know) and the other with 640Mb
[10:21] <Specimen> oh i forgot -
[10:21] <aliasfred> you are in the very easy case here, no laptop, no scsi
[10:21] <Specimen> if i wait long enough on the 400MHz one,
[10:22] <Specimen> it gives a logical i/o error for hdc
[10:22] <Specimen> (which im assuming is hard drive c:)
[10:22] <aliasfred> hdc being the cdrom ?
[10:22] <Specimen> i was thinking it was the hard drive but it could be the cd
[10:22] <Specimen> i dont know...
[10:22] <centyx> Specimen: hdc would be the secondary master
[10:22] <aliasfred> hmm ok
[10:22] <Specimen> ok
[10:22] <Specimen> sorry
[10:22] <dimsuz> I can see debdelta in unstable. What are these branches? Are they like stable and unstable ones in gentoo?
[10:22] <Specimen> i have very little experience with linux
[10:23] <h3sp4wn> !info debdelta edgy
[10:23] <ubotu> debdelta: diff and patch utilities which work with Debian packages. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.15 (edgy), package size 33 kB, installed size 152 kB
[10:23] <aliasfred> Specimen: so i get, you got several box running, then you can try to boot and follow instruction live while being here?
[10:23] <Specimen> no problemo
[10:23] <Specimen> ive got to run
[10:23] <Specimen> from one end of the basement to the othger
[10:23] <Specimen> ^other
[10:23] <Specimen> but its quite feasable
[10:23] <aliasfred> Specimen: i got to run too :) but this is the proper process :)
[10:24] <aliasfred> Specimen: another thing would be to check if the cd itself is ok
[10:24] <Specimen> done that.
[10:24] <dimsuz> !info gcc
[10:24] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:4.0.3-1 (dapper), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:24] <aliasfred> there is a 'cd check' somewehre
[10:24] <Specimen> on the third computer i cant boot to the desktop but
[10:24] <Specimen> the cd checks out fine
[10:24] <dimsuz> !info gcc unstable
[10:24] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:4.0.3-1 (dapper), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:24] <dimsuz> hmm
[10:24] <dimsuz> !info gcc edgy
[10:24] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In repository main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.1-3 (edgy), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:24] <aliasfred> Specimen: ok so it is likely something tiny but boring :)
[10:24] <Specimen> sure
[10:24] <dimsuz> nice toy :)
[10:25] <Specimen> ram check?
[10:25] <aliasfred> Specimen: as i said i got to go, but the process could be (i) try to wait longer, (ii) try safer boot option, (iii) ask somebody here to help you getting more info about the freeze
[10:25] <Specimen> ok
[10:25] <aliasfred> Specimen: you can but unlikely on the 3 box
[10:25] <Specimen> sure
[10:26] <Specimen> yeah
[10:26] <Specimen> oh yeah
[10:26] <Specimen> the safe boot fails too
[10:26] <Specimen> do u think this could be a problem with my cd drive?"
[10:26] <aliasfred> yep could be
[10:27] <Specimen> ok
[10:27] <Specimen> ill try another one then
[10:27] <aliasfred> but then again on the 3 boxes
[10:27] <aliasfred> ok gone now good luck :)
[10:27] <Specimen> thanks
[10:27] <Specimen> 4 all the help!
[10:28] <soon> #join #jabref
[10:28] <soon> ups !!
[10:34] <rootadmin>
[10:34] <rootadmin>
[10:34] <rootadmin>
[10:34] <rootadmin> :-)
[10:34] <dimsuz> I forgot to ask one more thing :).
[10:35] <dimsuz> How about initng support in [k] ubuntu?
[10:35] <dimsuz> is it as simple as http://hermann.czedik.net/ubuntu_initng.html says? :)
[10:36] <DarkAudit> What am I missing to be able to see my folders on my notebook? Both machines are running Dapper
[10:36] <DarkAudit> So much info on how to connect to the internet, but hardly anything on networking 2 kubuntu boxes
[10:38] <Tommy2k4> im trying to run kubuntu livecd on another pc and its giving loads of these errors:
[10:38] <Tommy2k4> buffer i/o error on device dm-1 at block<PHONE_NUMBER>
[10:39] <Tommy2k4> and the block number increases and gives a new error like that every few seconds
[10:39] <h3sp4wn> Tommy2k4: Try the kanotix live cd its alot better (to use as a live cd)
[10:40] <abattoir> Tommy2k4: disk errors? scratched CD maybe?
[10:40] <Tommy2k4> but i might end up installing kubuntu
[10:40] <dices_almighty> you have to install kubuntu then nfs or samba for sharing
[10:40] <dices_almighty> or live cd then install nfs or samba
[10:41] <dices_almighty> or plain old fish:  :P
[10:41] <dices_almighty> in konqueror
[10:41] <DarkAudit> ok... I need nfs for 2 linux boxes, right?
[10:41] <Tommy2k4> does anyone know whether device dm-1 is likely to be the cd drive or the hdd when using livecd
[10:41] <Specimen> oops, i just realized this nick is owned by someone else...
[10:42] <Pupeno> what mp3 encoder do you recommend (even if it is text-only), the simpler the better.
[10:42] <Tommy2k4> lame
[10:42] <ubuntu> bye beyw
[10:43] <dices_almighty> DarkAudit i would prefer samba for network and server or even fish
[10:43] <dices_almighty> with fish you can see all files using ssh
[10:43] <will____> is there a way to set linux to just ask your for the SU password when it is necessary (in the gui)?
[10:43] <KaiHanari> will____, thats the way it is already
[10:45] <trng204> so if anyone else was watching my problem,
[10:45] <will____> KaiHanari: for example, when I try to "safely remove" my external HD it says I'm not root.  what's the easiest way to solve that
[10:45] <trng204> i swapped out the cd drive
[10:45] <trng204> no change :(
[10:45] <will____> KaiHanari: im going to be taking that drive on and off all the time
[10:45] <KaiHanari> will____, how are you mounting the drive?
[10:45] <will____> well it is mounting it  to the media folder
[10:46] <will____> KaiHanari: media/sda5
[10:46] <KaiHanari> it shouldnt say that you have to be root, unless youve got root accessing it
[10:47] <will____> oh
[10:48] <KaiHanari> i work with removeable media all the time, never been asked for root password
[10:48] <will____> KaiHanari: oh. I "closed" amarok but it was till running in the background.  that was the problem
[10:48] <will____> KaiHanari: thanks
[10:49] <KaiHanari> i have to go to work...
[10:49] <will____> KaiHanari: speaking of... is there a way to set it so when you hit the "x" it actually exits the program?
[10:50] <will____> anyone?
[10:52] <trappist> will____: I don't think there is.  amarok likes to go into the systray when you 'close' it.  you can close it any time, though, by right-clicking the systray icon.
[10:52] <centyx> ctrl-q quits it too
[10:52] <will____> thx
[10:52] <will____> even better
[10:53] <centyx> or just click on File/Quit
[10:55] <Tommy2k4> is there no way to install kubuntu from the livecd without booting into the livecd first
[10:56] <h3sp4wn> Tommy2k4: Depends how  hard you are willing to try
[10:56] <Tommy2k4> well booting to livecd keeps giving loads of errors
[10:56] <Tommy2k4> buffer i/o error on device dm-1 at block<PHONE_NUMBER>
[10:56] <h3sp4wn> So try another live cd
[10:57] <RogueX>  Tommy2k4: there is a Text install on the DVD ver
[10:57] <h3sp4wn> i.e a different one (determine whether its a hardware problem or not)
[10:57] <RogueX> Tommy2k4: where you dont go into the live install
[10:58] <Tommy2k4> well id rather have to do it without having to dl another version
[10:59] <RogueX> Tommy2k4: I have never used the cd version.  but when you boot off the disk it gives you different options
[11:01] <Tommy2k4> is there no parameters i can use when u press f6 to make it just goto install instead of the livecd
[11:01] <trng204> wondering the same thing here...
[11:05] <DarkAudit> hmm... The instant I went on battery on my VAIO, the charge went to 85% left
[11:05] <ivan255> oi
[11:05] <ivan255> boa noite
[11:05] <DarkAudit> I've got sonypi in /etc/modules, but it still isn't recognized
[11:06] <ivan255> oi
[11:07] <RogueX> ivan255: english?
[11:07] <soon> anyone know how I add a new class to my latex installation?
[11:09] <Cntryboy> okay I'm back
[11:10] <Cntryboy> Anyone know why kaffeine has a slash through the speaker and it's not on mute? I can't get any sound
[11:10] <h3sp4wn> Cntryboy: Do you have sound in amarok ?
[11:11] <Cntryboy> Dunno about that
[11:11] <Cntryboy> but I do in vlc
[11:11] <Cntryboy> I do in xmm also
[11:11] <Cntryboy> I mean my sound is fine, just not in kaffeine
[11:11] <trng204> gtg
[11:12] <coachJ> how do I make firefox the default browser
[11:13] <Cntryboy> h3sp4wn: dont go to sleep on me
[11:13] <Cntryboy> lol
[11:14] <osh_> No opera in Dapper?
[11:15] <trappist> osh_: never will be, unless opera goes open source
[11:16] <abattoir> osh_: but there is a dapper package in the opera site isnt there?
[11:18] <trappist> abattoir: http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/unstable/non-free/binary-i386/
[11:18] <h3sp4wn> !dapper-commercial
[11:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about dapper-commercial - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:18] <h3sp4wn> There is a dapper-commercial canocial repo with opera in it
[11:18] <osh_> abattoir: will have a look at that. thanks.
[11:19] <osh_> I thought I'd check it out since it's qt-based...
[11:19] <abattoir> they dont seem to have x86_64 though :(
[11:19] <RawSewage> I cant get sound back on YouTube.  I touched a volume control on it, and now, no sound
[11:20] <trappist> abattoir: no, they don't
[11:20] <RawSewage> Anyone know how to fix this
[11:20] <trappist> abattoir: and since it's not open source we can't make a 64bit build
[11:20] <abattoir> trappist: of course :)
[11:20] <trappist> abattoir: I run mine in a 32bit chroot, from where I also run mplayer, firefox, etc.
[11:21] <abattoir> trappist: nah, i prefer running it natively :)
[11:21] <abattoir> trappist: konq does well enough for me
[11:21] <trappist> abattoir: can't have flash, java, etc., in a 64bit browser atm.
[11:22] <coachJ> if someone answered i missed it,,how do I set firefox as my default browser?
[11:22] <abattoir> trappist: well... it is not impossible, there are workarounds
[11:22] <trappist> abattoir: yeah - running it in a 32bit chroot :)
[11:22] <james14> I have Dapper running on a IBM ThinkPad.  Am using a Bluetooth mouse.  When I haven't use the mouse for a few minutes I have to reconnect it again.  Any idea how to fix this?
[11:22] <trappist> coachJ: set firefox as the application for the .htm* filetypes
[11:22] <coachJ> where?
[11:22] <abattoir> trappist: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-90919.html seen that?
[11:23] <trappist> abattoir: no I haven't, thanks for the link - looks like something I might wanna do
[11:24] <abattoir> trappist: doesnt work always for me, so i think you might choose to stay using chroot :P
[11:24] <coachJ> trappist-where do I set the association of file types
[11:25] <trappist> coachJ: I dunno, in kcontrol somewhere.
[11:26] <abattoir> coachJ: Kcontrol-> KDE Components -> File Associatioins
[11:26] <abattoir> *Associations
[11:26] <coachJ> thks
[11:27] <coachJ> wow I dont have a Kcontrol in the menu
[11:28] <marlin> I really would like to be involved in kubuntu
[11:28] <marlin> but don't know where to start
[11:28] <coachJ> abattoir-I dont have a Kcontrol in the menu
[11:29] <ivan255> alguma pessoa afim  de tc
[11:29] <coachJ> same to ya
[11:30] <Tommy2k4> if i dl the kubuntu alternative cd will it still install the same stuff as the livecd
[11:30] <Cntryboy> Anyone know why kaffeine has a slash through the speaker and it's not on mute? I can't get any sound
[11:31] <marlin> try to install the libxine-extracodecs
[11:34] <Cntryboy> marlin: I can't it's not in repos

[11:54] <centyx> shoemake: just ask, maybe someone will say something helpful
[11:55] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hi guys
[11:55] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i forgot the name of a program
[11:55] <shoemake> hehe, well... I can't get logged in. I can do it from the windows box sitting beside me..
[11:55] <trappist> shoemake: it usually works this way: you ask a specific question, and anyone who knows the answer will answer.
[11:55] <centyx> Tallia1Kubuntu: what does it do?
[11:55] <shoemake> kopete just sits there "connecting" and gaim will eventually error
[11:55] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i used it to create a deb package automatically after compilation, and so be able of upgrade/uninstall without having to retain the source code
[11:55] <trappist> Tallia1Kubuntu: which one? ;)
[11:56] <Tallia1Kubuntu> leave me the time to type ^__^
[11:56] <trappist> Tallia1Kubuntu: checkinstall?
[11:56] <Tallia1Kubuntu> trappist: it could be! let me see :)
[11:57] <centyx> shoemake: icq? i don't use that. are they using the same server as your client on the other machine?
