[00:00] <kaNNib^L> do i have to wait for a week to get stable one?
[00:00] <arkaniad> which you should be able to apt-get update to
[00:00] <arkaniad> yes
[00:00] <arkaniad> but you can still install beta
[00:00] <kaNNib^L> after installing beta
[00:00] <arkaniad> and get stable via aptitude when they release
[00:00] <kaNNib^L> i could get updates
[00:00] <arkaniad> yes
[00:00] <kaNNib^L> and it would become stable then
[00:00] <kaNNib^L> ?
[00:00] <arkaniad> pretty much
[00:00] <kaNNib^L> pretty much or a stable one?
[00:01] <arkaniad> i am not 100% sure it would be the actual "Stable," but you will have updated past the bugs
[00:01] <arkaniad> if any
[00:01] <arkaniad> and there are always more updates
[00:02] <arkaniad> but, is your hardware compatible???
[00:02] <kaNNib^L> yup always
[00:02] <kaNNib^L> i dont know
[00:02] <arkaniad> sweet
[00:02] <arkaniad> lol
[00:02] <kaNNib^L> how to check?
[00:02] <arkaniad> is it liveCD or alternate :(
[00:02] <arkaniad> liveCD - pop in, boot from cd, and enjoy without installation!
[00:02] <kaNNib^L> well i have downloaded .iso then burnt it and now using it on Cd
[00:02] <kaNNib^L> yup liveCd

[00:03] <arkaniad> well then your hardware works i guess, eh?
[00:03] <arkaniad> :D
[00:03] <kaNNib^L> how to check?
[00:03] <arkaniad> well, you are using ubuntu as we speak right?
[00:03] <arkaniad> or kubuntu, w/e
[00:03] <kaNNib^L> kubutu
[00:03] <kaNNib^L> i know a much about GNOME
[00:04] <kaNNib^L> using kubuntu first time
[00:04] <arkaniad> and your net, sound, display works??
[00:04] <kaNNib^L> yup
[00:04] <arkaniad> well, then it will all work
[00:04] <kaNNib^L> oll rite
[00:05] <kaNNib^L> now just tell me again
[00:05] <kaNNib^L> that i should wait for a week to get stable version

[00:12] <arkaniad> ah ill go to ubuntu#
[00:18] <_ZeuZ_> yeah!!
[00:19] <_ZeuZ_> I reduced the memory ussage of this HArdy, to 130mb ^^
[00:19] <_ZeuZ_> (using xchat, emesene, and Kaffeine
[00:19] <_ZeuZ_> oh, and COMPIZ!
[00:21] <arkaniad> how?
[00:22] <_ZeuZ_> I got rid of all modules unneeded (from kernel and initramfs)
[00:22] <_ZeuZ_> then got rid of those pesky python pieces of code to ease my life
[00:22] <arkaniad> lol
[00:22] <_ZeuZ_> and replaced them with compiled apps (written in C++ and C)
[00:22] <arkaniad> i dont know how to do that but OK!
[00:23] <_ZeuZ_> then I removed the unneeded things from KDE
[00:23] <_ZeuZ_> then I quitted the services I did not need
[00:23] <arkaniad> sweet
[00:23] <_ZeuZ_> then I uninstalled some packages
[00:23] <_ZeuZ_> and got rid of the session manager...
[00:24] <PeterFA> I always get a segfault when I run apache2.
[00:24] <PeterFA> In konsole, I type /etc/init.d/apache2 start and it segfaults.
[00:25] <_ZeuZ_> peterFA: That usually happens when the memory fragments into RAM and SWAP
[00:25] <_ZeuZ_> type free -m and show me the resuts...
[00:25] <_ZeuZ_> if not, try reinstalling it...
[00:25] <PeterFA> _ZeuZ_, wanna see it in pm?
[00:27] <_ZeuZ_> of course
[00:27] <_ZeuZ_> hitme
[00:27] <jumpkick> how can I get /sbin/lrm-manager to run at start time like its supposed to?
[00:28] <_ZeuZ_> jumpkick: use sysv-rc-conf to check if it's set to be started on the desired runlevel (if you don't have it, then sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf )
[00:29] <jumpkick> k
[00:29] <mr_marvin_> hi all. how can i check power saving options in kubuntu?
[00:30] <_ZeuZ_> you mean, personalize them?
[00:31] <mr_marvin_> well, yes... i don't remeber changes i've mege in ubuntu, and i'm afraid my pc could shut down while i'm absent,
[00:32] <_ZeuZ_> if you're using Gnome (Ubuntu) I can't help you... but if you're using KDE, then go to your tray bar, and click the battery icon
[00:32] <mr_marvin_> i'm using KDE, but this is not a laptop
[00:33] <_ZeuZ_> then changing the values, won't elude the fact that from power failure/lack your desktop is going to shutdown/reboot
[00:35] <mr_marvin_> how do i change the values? where do i find the options? that's what i'm hunting fro...
[00:36] <jumpkick> can some do an `ls /etc/rc2.d | grep restricted` and tell me what the start number is supposed to be for the linux-restricted-modules-common symlink?
[00:36] <user1> comand1 ; comand 2 ,        ; will run second command despite first one is completed succesfuly or not. or it will run 2 comands simultaneiously?
[00:37] <jumpkick> user1: ; = do it after; && = do it after if the first command was true (succeeded)
[00:37] <jumpkick> || = do it after if the first command was false (failed, exited with a non-zero exit code, etc)
[00:39] <user1> jumpkick thx
[00:39] <user1> jumpkick how to skip y/n required to type in some comands?
[00:39] <jumpkick> echo Y | command
[00:40] <jumpkick> apt-get -y install ....
[00:40] <jumpkick> depends on the command
[00:40] <user1> jumpkick apt
[00:42] <mr_marvin_> so, is there a simple was to change the time of shutting down od hdd's, monitor, whole pc?
[00:43] <jumpkick> user1: yeah, see above or apt-get --help...  its -y
[00:44] <user1> thx
[00:45] <PeterFA> I have a Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) and dmesg says I need to get the firmware for it. I don't know exactly which firmware I need though. I've given several choices and one is deprecated.
[00:46] <user1> any POWERFUL firewall with many features?
[00:46] <sfire> PeterFA: I'm 90% those require ndswrapper drivers
[00:47] <sfire> ndiswrapper
[00:47] <PeterFA> user1, I like kmyfirewall.
[00:47] <user1> PeterFA ok..
[00:47] <sfire> PeterFA: do you have the windows driver CD for it?
[00:48] <PeterFA> sfire, no. The error message points to a web page with instruction that yoink it automagically.
[00:48] <PeterFA> I don't want to use the Windows driver.
[00:48] <PeterFA> Hmm.
[00:48] <sfire> don't have a choice
[00:48] <sfire> its madwifi or ndiswrapper (windows driver)
[00:49] <sfire> broadcom isn't madwifi compatible
[00:49] <sfire> (at least mine in this laptop isn't)
[00:49] <PeterFA> sfire, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-new
[00:50] <sfire> honestly I haven't had a problem using the windows driver... that may work but its a whole bunch more complicated
[00:51] <sfire> up to you though
=== mr_marvin_ is now known as mrwn
[00:55] <_ZeuZ_> sfire: he-s allready using it, guided him through the process of instaling ONE PACKAGE
[00:55] <_ZeuZ_> xD
[00:55] <_ZeuZ_> that;s what you need for b43/bcm43xx
[00:55] <_ZeuZ_> b43firmwarecutter (or something like that)
[00:55] <_ZeuZ_> that takes care of downloading the firmware, and fetching it
[00:55] <RickKnight> PeterFA: Just a thought, but where is the firmware installed?
[00:56] <_ZeuZ_> /lib/firmware
[00:56] <nonewmsgs> i have a stupid question
[00:56] <RickKnight> PeterFA: It should be in /lib/firmware/2.6.20-16-generic for Feisty, /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic for Gutsy.
[00:56] <PeterFA> RickKnight, I just did
[00:57] <_ZeuZ_> RickKnight, that depends on the kernel
[00:57] <nonewmsgs> if i boot from my one sata drive grub menu doesn't come and all i get is a curser and it freezes, but if i start the same disk in supergrub with mbr it starts fine, what is wrong
[00:57] <_ZeuZ_> but the firmwares are all located under /lib/firmware
[00:57] <_ZeuZ_> that grub is not installed onto MBR, and that supergrub crashes it
[00:59] <nonewmsgs> but the option i select is "boot mbr" not start HURD
[00:59] <_ZeuZ_> seems like you did not though
[01:00] <nonewmsgs> maybe it is confused that the linux partition is the 3rd partition
[01:00] <_ZeuZ_> check the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:00] <_ZeuZ_> or run sudo update-grub
[01:01] <nonewmsgs> my partitions all need tweaked but for now i think i am going to reinstall gutsy (i can't get online with hardy)
[01:01] <_ZeuZ_> xD
[01:01] <_ZeuZ_> what seems to be the problem with it?

[01:02] <nonewmsgs> i have asked numerous times in ubuntu+1 but i think im invisable there
[01:02] <user1> any POWERFUL and advanced firewall with many features installable on linux?

[01:03] <nonewmsgs> that's the real one

[01:11] <nonewmsgs> Dr_willis: i hate to repeat myself but you have helped me several times before, and i wanted to ask if you had any ideas about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753564&highlight=hardy+wired (right now i am downloading the altcd for gutsy)
[01:12]  * Dr_willis just woke up. :) Havent even drank my OJ yet. 
[01:13] <unix_infidel> lol...
[01:13] <unix_infidel> it's 7pm :-P
[01:13] <nonewmsgs> 813pm
[01:13] <Dr_willis> nonewmsgs,  basic testing i always do is. #1. can you ping other machines by ip. If so - networking is working. Its a dns setting issue.
[01:13] <nonewmsgs> no pinging
[01:14] <nonewmsgs> but +1 doesnt have much love
[01:14] <Dr_willis> if ping isent even working. either the network card modules are not getting loaded. or theres a bug. or its very miss configured
[01:14] <nonewmsgs> i'm thinking it's a bug
[01:15] <Dr_willis> or the gateway is not set right. or somthing is messed with dhcp
[01:15] <Dr_willis> This is when it pays to learn how to manyually configure the network from the terminal
[01:16] <Dr_willis> test the live  cd - see if it works with it.. see if it works with other live cd and disrtos also id a good test.
[01:16] <Dr_willis> I never do a 'upgrade' :) i always do clean installs. could be some odd upgrade quirk
[01:17]  * Mr_Pan is away: 
[01:17] <nonewmsgs> it was a full upgrade.  livecds of all distros are freaking out over my videocard....i have never seen anything like it
[01:17] <Dr_willis> right now it LOOKS like from that thread info. that your dhcp server is not working.
[01:18] <nonewmsgs> i have 6 other computers wired and wireless from that router and they all work fine
[01:18] <nonewmsgs> including this one that's 3 feet away
=== kewark is now known as krawek
[01:18] <Dr_willis> I would check the obvious like the cables and perhaps reset the router.
[01:18] <nonewmsgs> but windows does work on it
[01:18] <nonewmsgs> and is online
[01:19] <Dr_willis> Time to summarize all these tests in the forum thread then. :)
[01:19] <Dr_willis> get the ip info from when its using windows. and set it up to use a static ip. might help.
[01:19] <Dr_willis> ip#, dns server, gateway. - Its possible i guess that some how its gettting a ip thats allready in use.
[01:21] <nonewmsgs> thanks you Dr_willis
[01:21] <Dr_willis> I would be curious if you booted into a different desktop thus not starting all the kde networking config tools. If it would work
[01:21] <Dr_willis> But that manual launching of the dhcp client - and ot not gettting a response.. seems.. odd
[01:26] <Jimmy1> Hey guys just wondering if someone could help me with my printer ?
[01:26] <batman> whats the prob?
[01:26] <nonewmsgs> yes Dr_willis i even tried using the other lan port
[01:27] <Jimmy1> when i try to print the there is a blank page
[01:27] <Dr_willis> You have 2 network cards in that box eh?
[01:27] <Jimmy1> is there ink YES
[01:27] <Jimmy1> it works ok with windows but not at all with Kubuntu
[01:28] <batman> make, model?
[01:28] <Jimmy1> Hp 3550
[01:29] <Jimmy1> the computer detects it but it just wont print with kubuntu
[01:29] <Jimmy1> i had the same problem with ubuntu
[01:29] <Jimmy1> i used that hplip program to set it up but still no lucj
[01:30] <Jimmy1> luck
[01:30] <Jimmy1> i tried changing the settings to generic brand also
[01:32] <Dr_willis> Jimmy1,  and how is it connected?
[01:32] <Jimmy1> via usb
[01:32] <batman> so it actually spits out a blank page?
[01:33] <Dr_willis> I notived somthing odd with my hp printer under hardy. if i boot it loses the printer untill i unplug/plug it back in...
[01:33] <Dr_willis> wonder if thats been fixed yet.
[01:33] <Jimmy1> yeh
[01:34] <Jimmy1> it prints very lightly, you cant read it
[01:34] <Jimmy1> its very surprising cause in windows it works fine :/
[01:34] <Dr_willis> Wait.. it 'does print' however?
[01:34] <Dr_willis> just dosent print proplery?
[01:34] <RogueJediX> Jimmy1: Maybe you have something called "economics mode" turned on
[01:34] <Jimmy1> hmm
[01:34] <Jimmy1> ill have  a look
[01:36] <robf_> what is the volume controller for kde
[01:36] <robf_> cos i don't seem to have it down on my lil task bar like i used to,  crashed maybe?
[01:37] <Jucato> kmix
[01:38] <robf_> hmm thanks
[01:38] <robf_> wondered why it wasn't down there,
[01:38] <Dr_willis> it may have a panel applet you an add.. or it may auto add when its ran
[01:44] <Jimmy1> ummm where in hplip do i find economics mode ?
[01:45] <Dr_willis> I just  click on my printer in the printer settings tools and it has pulldowns for the moded and so forth.
[01:45] <Dr_willis> but mine is an OLD laserjet 5l
[01:45] <Dr_willis> i always have to rember to set mine to 600dpi instead of the default 300dpi
[01:48] <rootlinuxusr> anybody around that knows a lot about wireless?
[01:48] <Jimmy1> sorry i cant find it
[01:51] <Dr_willis> it dosent matter if they know a lot.. if they dont know aboyut your specific situation. :)
[01:51] <Dr_willis> !wireless
[01:52] <rootlinuxusr> nothing's showing up, and that's true.
[01:52] <rootlinuxusr> WPA-PSK router, i have it showing the connection, even attempts to connect, never gets an IP
[01:52] <leroy> hey nubie here, where am i???
[01:52] <rootlinuxusr> !kubuntu
[01:52] <leroy> lol no, thats my new os
[01:53] <Jimmy1> lol
[01:53] <Jimmy1> its fun isnt it

[01:53] <rootlinuxusr> sorry, had to.
[01:53] <Jimmy1> nothing but trouble after trouble with linux
[01:53] <Jimmy1> but i still like it :)
[01:53] <leroy> so i'm trying to figure out what the big deal is with linux

[01:54] <Jimmy1> go on youtube
[01:54] <leroy> and....
[01:54] <leroy> so is xp
[01:54] <leroy> lol
[01:55] <Dr_willis> xp just got its live 'extended' for a nother year or by MS.
[01:55] <Dr_willis> xp was just about to get killed off.
[01:55] <rootlinuxusr> as the phrase goes, use mac for photos/videos/music, use palmpilot for portability, use linux for servers/flexibility, and use Windows for Solitaire.
[01:55] <leroy> utube....  i don't want some geek to pissme off, i want a conversation
[01:55] <leroy> lmao
[01:56] <PhilRod> leroy: well, maybe linux is for you, maybe it's not - if any of Free Software, Open Source, flexibility, access to the underlying OS, scriptability, community or tinkering appeal to you, then you'll love it
[01:56] <Dr_willis> Technically this channel is for Kubuntu Support. - If you want a conversation about linux. Try ##linux, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:56] <PeterFA> Can I get PHP support in lighttpd?
[01:56] <Dr_willis> But its a slow night. :)
[01:56] <leroy> sorry

[02:07] <Jucato> edju: #ubuntu+1 please
[02:08] <rootlinuxusr> I can see my WPA-PSK router, but when I try to connect in Kubuntu it doesn't give me an IP...any help? it works fine in shitsa.

[02:13] <PhilRod> rootlinuxusr: are you using knetworkmanager?
[02:14] <rootlinuxusr> is there a reason i shouldn't be?
[02:15] <PhilRod> officially, probably not, but I didn't have any luck connecting to my WPA network with knetworkmanager
[02:15] <PhilRod> I just set it up in /etc/network/interfaces in the end
[02:16] <rootlinuxusr> how do i do that?
[02:20] <PhilRod> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7461/
[02:21] <PhilRod> rootlinuxusr: that's the stanza I use. With that, the system brings eth1 up at boot and connects it to the network
[02:21] <rootlinuxusr> wext?
[02:22] <nonewmsgs> why does ktorrent tell me no incoming conections (possibly firewalled) despite having a conection about ~100kbps down and 20kbps up
[02:24] <rootlinuxusr> anyway to add encryption to the PSK part?
[02:25] <Ketrel> What are all the places I have to go to say don't blank my screen after X ammount of time? I'm out of places I know of to change it. (I have Compiz installed if that matters at all)
[02:26] <PhilRod> rootlinuxusr: not sure about the wext part - might not be necessary. Take a look at 'man interfaces' I guess
[02:26] <PhilRod> rootlinuxusr: nor do I know about encryption - the man page might be able to help

[03:12] <mr_marvin> hello. is sudo used in kubuntu also to start gui apps?
[03:12] <Jucato> !kdesu | mr_marvin
[03:12] <Daisuke_Laptop> never
[03:12] <ubot5> mr_marvin: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[03:13] <powertool08> does anyone here use the aim client pork?
=== mark_ is now known as avinoc
[03:17] <Ketrel> ubot5, I read http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo it said that for example kate would not run with "sudo kate" but O
[03:17] <ubot5> Ketrel: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[03:17] <mr_marvin> thanks, that helped a lot, i always used sudo... but i have another problem
[03:17] <Ketrel> XD
[03:17] <Ketrel> Jucato, when I tried sudo kate, it worked
[03:17] <Ketrel> (and I had done it before reading that)
[03:17] <BluesKaj> use kdesudo for gui apps ...sudo is till ok in the cli in my experience
[03:17] <Jucato> it may or may not work. but it will eventually mess up X permissions
[03:17] <BluesKaj> still
[03:17] <mr_marvin> sudo xhost +local:myusername reports "xhost:  unable to open display ":0.0"
[03:18] <Jucato> mr_marvin: I don't think you need sudo for that
[03:18] <Ketrel> Is there a reason to use kdesudo over kdesu?
[03:18] <mr_marvin> i tried the above because "kdesu kpowersave" is also "refused by server"
[03:19] <Jucato> Ketrel: kdesudo is an improved version of kdesu that properly behaves like sudo (kdesu originally uses just su, but was patched to also use sudo optionally)
[03:19] <Ketrel> ah, so I should use kdesudo
[03:19] <Jucato> Ketrel: I'd suggest using "kdesu", because if kdesudo is installed, it just symlinks to kdesu...
[03:19] <Ketrel> or that XD
[03:20] <Ketrel> Jucato, I ust checked and I have that in refersed
[03:20] <Ketrel> kdesu links to kdesudo

[03:20] <Jucato> either way.. you know what I mean :P
[03:20] <Ketrel> ah
[03:21] <Ketrel> which is the one that'll be used the most in the future
[03:21] <Ketrel> as I don't have a habbit yet, I want to make the one that'll be most usefull
[03:21] <mr_marvin> if i set my pc to shut down/hibernate for xx hours, where would that config file be?
[03:21]  * Jucato personally suggests "kdesu", given that there might be some situations were kdesudo might have gotten uninstalled
[03:22] <Jucato> (and kdesu is "cross-distro".. only Kubuntu has kdesudo... for now)
[03:23] <Jimmy1> ok so here is my problem ! i went to compiz ppl to get it working right and they told me to do something ! anyway i had to reboot the system, when i did that it wouldnt let me go on the wireless but i could open Konversation THEN i booted again and wireless WOULD work but i couldnt open konversation ! this all came about when i wanted compiz to work but the little icons that close the window/minimise it dissapeared so now im runnig on
[03:23] <Jimmy1> live cd cause this is the only way i can get on the wireless and konversation
[03:23] <Ketrel> Jimmy
[03:23] <Ketrel> if that happens and you can still get ao a terminal
[03:23] <Ketrel> try running "kwin --replace" without the quotes
[03:24] <Ketrel> What I did is I bound that command to a key combination that way even if I couldn't get to a terminal I could run it
[03:24] <Ketrel> it's usefull for when compiz or emerald crash.
[03:25] <Jimmy1> ok
[03:25] <Jimmy1> so if i boot now will the it all work again ?
[03:25] <Ketrel> it should
[03:25] <Jimmy1> ok brb
[03:25] <Ketrel> wait
[03:25] <Jimmy1> ?
[03:25] <Ketrel> the first thing you should do is get a way available to you to run that command
[03:26] <Jimmy1> i dont understand  !
[03:26] <Ketrel> Is compiz starting automatically or are you starting it using "compiz --replace"?
[03:27] <Jimmy1> compiz ppl told me to type that before and it all fed up
[03:28] <Ketrel> Well if it starts with your computer and you want to turn it off, first thing you should do is run the command "kwin --replace"
[03:28] <Jimmy1> yeh i did that
[03:28] <Ketrel> That should basically turn off compiz. Did that work right?
[03:28] <Jimmy1> im in live cd so i dunno till i boot
[03:28] <Jimmy1> reboot
[03:29] <Jucato> (you're supposed to do that when you're already in your installed (not live cd) system)
=== pramod is now known as Helios
[03:31] <Jimmy1> i cant do it cause as i said before when im in installed mode the computer a) wireless works but no konversation OR b) knversation works but no wireless. thats why im on live cd so i can talk to you guys to find out what happened
[03:31] <Helios> Hello...
[03:31] <Helios> I want to use a web development toolkit in linux...
[03:32] <Helios> just like there is Dreamweaver for microsoft... are there any toolkit for Linux?
[03:32] <Ketrel> I'm not sure if it's current, but I think there's NVU for linux.
[03:32] <Jimmy1> ok rebooting ill try on installed mode
[03:33] <Daisuke-Laptop> dreamweaker isn't a toolkit
[03:33] <Daisuke-Laptop> Kompozer is a more recent Nvu
[03:33] <Helios> well i need something like dreamweaver for my linux... :)
[03:33] <Daisuke-Laptop> dreamweaver, that is*
[03:33] <Daisuke-Laptop> Helios: kompozer may fit the bill
[03:33] <Daisuke-Laptop> personally, i recommend vi
[03:34] <Helios> u mean vi in konsole?
=== vbatts_ is now known as natural_mind
[03:37] <Helios> Where can i get a tutorial about how to use vi?
[03:40] <flaccid> Helios: google
[03:40] <Jucato> http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php ? google?
[03:40] <Helios> ok thanks
[03:40] <andrew_> In Kate, how can I make it not put a character when I put a tab?
[03:41] <Jucato> a character?
[03:41] <Helios> How can i enable syntax Highlighting in konsole?
[03:41] <andrew_> it looks like a comma
[03:41] <Jucato> ah, markers
[03:41] <Jucato> don't worry, they aren't really printing characters... (they're not really there)
[03:41] <flaccid> andrew_:  Settings - configure kate - indentation
[03:41] <Jucato> yeah you can turn them off :)
[03:42] <flaccid> insert spaces instead of tabs
[03:42] <Jucato> flaccid: er?
[03:42] <andrew_> which option, I don't see it?
[03:42] <flaccid> andrew_: are you coding?
[03:42] <Jucato> I think you want "Show tabulators" instead
[03:43] <Jucato> andrew_: Settings -> Configure Kate -> Editor -> Editing -> uncheck Show tabulators
[03:43] <andrew_> flaccid: sometimes, but not all the time
[03:43] <flaccid> depends what you want really
[03:43] <andrew_> Jucato: that was it, thanks :)
[03:44] <Jucato> Helios: syntax highlighting in vim?
[03:44] <Helios> yeah
[03:45] <Helios> i mean vi
[03:45] <Jucato> I think you need to have vim-full installed
[03:45] <Jucato> well vi is linked to vim, we actualy use vim, not vi
[03:45] <Helios> ah ok
[03:46] <ubuntu> hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu off a livecd, using the "install" option.  The install goes fine, but when it's done I try to apply all the available package upgrades using adept.  That goes for a while and then crashes, saying there was a problem.  After that, I can't restart Adept, it tells me something's already using the package database.  If I try to reboot after that, it tells me "file not found" or something like that
[03:46] <flaccid> !adeptfix | ubuntu
[03:46] <ubot5> ubuntu: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[03:47] <flaccid> the file not found sounds like grub though
[03:48] <ubuntu> i can reinstall just easily.. it doesn't take much time.  But this has happened twice already
[03:48] <ubuntu> why would apt be crashing?
[03:49] <BluesKaj> !update
[03:49] <ubot5> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:49] <monkeybritches> Is it Error 15?
[03:51] <rickey> can someone tell me , what decoders i need to play amaork radio stations
[03:51] <BluesKaj> Adept is trying to update already installed pkgs , that was a known bug with earlier Gutsy.
[03:51] <ubuntu> is there a fix/workaround, BluesKaj?
[03:52] <BluesKaj> ubuntu , yes it involves updating the sources.list IIRC
[03:54] <ubuntu> i see.  i'll reboot and try that.  by the way.. when i finished upgrading packages, it told me there was an upgrade to kubuntu available, and asked if i wanted to upgrade.  do you know how I get to that option? wihtout installing all the packages first, that is
[03:54] <rickey> how do  or where do i look to findout what decoder i need to play internet radio in amaork
[03:55] <BluesKaj> ubuntu, that's part of the bug I just mentioned ..adept just keeps trying to upgrade til the source.list is fixed
[03:56] <ubuntu> by "updating the sources.list" do you mean via the adept GUI?
[03:56] <ubuntu> "refresh" or whatever?
[03:56] <BluesKaj> rickey, sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
[03:57] <BluesKaj> you have to find a newer version of the source.list
[03:57] <BluesKaj> default sources.list
[03:58] <arthur06> someone?
[03:59] <BluesKaj> ubuntu Open Adept Package Manager. On the menu of that screen,click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the Kubuntu Software tab, check all the boxes with an "X". The same goes for the Third Party software tab. Close, and then in the terminal do : "sudo apt-get update".These backport repository packages are not guaranteed to work 100%,so use them with caution.
[03:59] <rickey> thank you blue
[04:00] <ubuntu> okay, I will, thanks
[04:00] <ubuntu> what do you mean by "backport repository"?
[04:01] <BluesKaj> they reositoris which contain packaged apps that kubuntu isn't allowed to contain by law
[04:01] <BluesKaj> repositories
[04:01] <ubuntu> ahh
[04:01] <ubuntu> gotcha
[04:02] <BluesKaj> codecs etc
[04:02] <BluesKaj> well, mostly US law AFAIK :)

[05:53] <maduser> what?
[06:01] <X9nLinuxL> What web page maker might anybody here recommend to use?
[06:01] <maduser> the mozilla one
[06:02] <kkathman> so is it true that if you have both ubuntu and kubuntu on your system your chances of upgrading to the newest version (Hardy) will be nearly impossible ??
[06:02] <Jucato> kkathman: why would it be? anyway, you can confirm in #ubuntu+1 if you want
[06:02] <kkathman> Jucato:  I have heard disparate stories on this
[06:03] <pquarles> kkathman, who told you that? that's a very dubious claim imho
[06:03] <kkathman> Jucato:  that there is a "different" procedure for upgrading
[06:03] <kkathman> pquarles:  see aboce
[06:03] <kkathman> aboce
[06:03] <kkathman> ahhh
[06:03] <kkathman> above :)
[06:04] <kkathman> you cant use the dist-upgrade if you have BOTH ubuntu and kubuntu??
[06:04] <Jucato> of course you can
[06:04] <pquarles> kkathman, each procedure would upgrade packages for GNOME and KDE
[06:04] <kkathman> see I thought that would be the case
[06:04] <kkathman> but I was told that my chances of a successful upgrade would be nil
[06:04] <Jucato> there are different methods of how to modify the sources.list and making sure you have the neceesary base packages for a smooth upgrade **using the GUI**
[06:05] <kkathman> I personnally havent had a problem if I was on one or the other
[06:05] <pquarles> kkathman, again, I don't think whoever told you this knows what they are talking about
[06:05] <Jucato> using the command line (editing sources.list yourself, using apt-get or aptitude) is the same all throughout
[06:05] <pquarles> Kubuntu and GNOME are not different OSes -- they are just different sets of packages
[06:05] <Jucato> anyway, like I said, try confirming in #ubuntu+1
[06:05] <kkathman> Jucato:  I have always just manually changed the sources.lst and did the update and dist-upgrade
[06:05] <Jucato> but afaik, there are no such issues
[06:11] <Pendeta> Is there a chat group for setting up and administering LANs?

[09:15] <redmoon> =x
[09:15] <Daisuke_Ido> easy, don't use frostwire (haven't we done this already?)
[09:15] <redmoon> But I like frostwire... and i already know how to use it.... compared to.... the torrent thing
[09:15] <redmoon> >.>
[09:16] <redmoon> <.<
[09:16] <Jucato> -_-
[09:16] <JoshOvki> redmoon: other torrent programs are easy enough to use
[09:17] <redmoon> Well im sorry that im computer illiterate
[09:17] <redmoon> >.>
[09:17] <Daisuke_Ido> don't apologize, learn :)
[09:17] <JoshOvki> lol
[09:17] <redmoon> None the less i dont like using torent programs anyway.....
[09:17] <Daisuke_Ido> why?
[09:17] <redmoon> torrent*
[09:17] <stdin> have you said what your problem is yet?
[09:18] <redmoon> because... 1) I cant learn on my own... let alone if there is no one to teach me... 2) im completely stupid with new OS and 3) I just like frostwire....
[09:18] <redmoon> =/
[09:18] <Daisuke_Ido> 1) why?  2) everyone is at first  3) fair enough.
[09:19] <redmoon> Moving on............
[09:19] <redmoon> Maybe ill figure it out........ later
[09:19] <redmoon> Is there a way ... to run exe programs.... if you have a ahm.... emurl.. or w/e?
[09:19] <stdin> !wine
[09:19] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[09:19] <JoshOvki> wine will do some
[09:20] <Daisuke_Ido> what are you looking to run?
[09:20] <redmoon> Ahm... its a ahm... Game...
[09:20] <redmoon> its .exe though
[09:20] <redmoon> so yeah...
[09:20] <Daisuke_Ido> okay, the ellipses are really REALLY annoying.
[09:20] <redmoon> SO ...... should i just use the wine thing?
[09:20] <stdin> you don't have that much choice
[09:21] <Daisuke_Ido> just for funsies, what game?
[09:21] <JoshOvki> redmoon: it might not work either. some things just dont work on wine
[09:21] <stdin> it's either wine or a vm
[09:21] <redmoon> Ok.............. well this may sound stupid........ but its a dancing game...........why?
[09:21] <Daisuke_Ido> (we aren't backwards hicks, if it's a relatively popular game, we'll probably know what you're talking about)
[09:21] <Daisuke_Ido> "a dancing game"
[09:21] <redmoon> Audition.........................
[09:22] <Daisuke_Ido> something similar to, say, DDR?
[09:22] <redmoon> precisely
[09:22] <Daisuke_Ido> check out stepmania
[09:22] <redmoon> wtf is that?
[09:22] <Daisuke_Ido> google it.
[09:22] <redmoon> fair enough...
[09:22] <Daisuke_Ido> it's a free, open source, ddr game
[09:22] <redmoon> Id still prefer Audition.. i already have a lvl 35 character there....
[09:22] <redmoon> its annoying to have to play something new...

[09:25] <redmoon> no wait.. actually i have 3 OS...
[09:26] <redmoon> Oh snap... whats the diff between linux.. binary and source?
[09:26] <stdin> Dagoth: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
[09:26] <JoshOvki> redmoon: if you are as computer illirate as you said you where, why do you have 3 OS's installed, why not just stick to one and get to know how to use it properly?
[09:27] <Dagoth> ok I think I begin to understand
[09:27] <stdin> redmoon: binary is compiled source, so you don't have to compile it
[09:27] <Dagoth> so thaht's quite like a forum about kubuntu but live
[09:27] <redmoon> I am computer illiterate with Linux... i have 3 b/c i already learned how to sue windows and mac
[09:27] <redmoon> =.=
[09:27] <Dagoth> isn't it?
[09:27] <redmoon> or vista i mean
[09:27] <redmoon> use*

[09:28] <stdin> and that, was a netsplit :)
[09:28] <redmoon> ............ i cant...
[09:28] <Dagoth> ok I am looking for a channel where the topic would be about kde 4, do you one??
[09:28] <JoshOvki> so you can learn how to use 3 O/S properly but cant learn how to use a simple torrent program?
[09:28] <redmoon> The saying... 2 heads are better than one .... Is practically true... so if i have to figure this out on my own im dead >.>
[09:28] <redmoon> i never said i learned all 3....
[09:29] <redmoon> i only know vista nd windows
[09:29] <redmoon> >.>
[09:29] <stdin> Dagoth: several, for Kubuntu KDE4 support use #kubuntu-kde4 or for general KDE4 support there's #kde
[09:29]  * JoshOvki wont make a comment
[09:29] <Dagoth> it's for general questions about how fast it is...
[09:29] <redmoon> wont make a comment... therefore you agree that im stupid with a new OS
[09:30] <redmoon> ok? ok....
[09:31] <stdin> Dagoth: depends on the time, most people in there are in europe, and it can be random as to how fast
[09:32] <Dagoth> no I didn't mean it, it was just about asking few questions about haw fast the desktop manager kde 4 is in comparaison with kde 3.5 for example
[09:36] <philipp__> how do i get a javaplugin for konqueror

[11:01] <rmtaz> then more errors

[11:09] <Wizard> viren: so?
[11:10] <viren> does that link apply to this aswell
[11:10] <Wizard> read this article, it also describes kubuntu
[11:10] <Wizard> yup
[11:11] <Jucato> or you could just try playing an mp3 in amarok, it should detect if the codec isn't installed and ask if you want to install it
[11:11] <Wizard> that's what i've said first
[11:11] <viren> i tried that and it doesnt work --
[11:12] <Jucato> libxine1-ffmpeg is the package you'll need. you can just install kubuntu-restricted-extras to get most of the codecs and plugins you might want
[11:12] <rmtaz> you did not specifically tell viren to try playing an mp3
[11:12] <rmtaz> heh
[11:13] <Wizard> usually i treat people who are using irc as smart enough to 'process' simple hints

[11:15] <Seren__> what newsreader do you use under kubuntu ?
[11:15] <Wizard> viren: lol, yes
[11:16] <Wizard> it all refers to 'terminal emulator'

[11:19] <jerknextdoor> jucato:  sorry brother,
[11:19] <Jucato> jerknextdoor: no problem
[11:20] <Jucato> sigma_: might want to try #kubuntu-kde4 though most are probably using Kubuntu packages
[11:20] <viren> no luck seren
[11:20] <jens_> hi all
[11:20] <Seren__> what does it tell you ?
[11:20] <viren> no packages found matching
[11:21] <Seren__> ok
[11:21] <Seren__> then in console try to type "kdesu adept_manager"
[11:21] <jens_> does anyone know which pc is needed by kubuntu 8 and 7
[11:22] <sigma_> its just i saw a tour of what is to be 4.1 at the kde.org news site. its looking alot more usable
[11:22] <Seren__> once adept_manager is launched, click on the "adept" menu and select "manage repositories"
[11:22] <Seren__> in that new window select the first 4 options
[11:22] <rmtaz> sigma: link?
[11:23] <Seren__> ( one of them is called restriced )
[11:23] <Seren__> you are going to enable new repositories where the package you are looking for is located
[11:24] <viren> done
[11:24] <Seren__> ok you can then quit adept manager
[11:24] <sigma_> rmtaz: its in that kde news feed on the kde.org site, a few articles back. it links you to the full screenshot review
[11:24] <viren> it busy updating
[11:24] <Seren__> it is ok you are getting the new list of package
[11:25] <viren> now
[11:25] <Seren__> once in it is updated you can search the ubuntu-restricted-extras in the adept manager
[11:25] <Seren__> or in console typing " sud apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[11:25] <viren> ok
[11:25] <Seren__> sudo not sud
[11:25] <Seren__> and you should then have mp3 support
[11:26] <jpatrick> kubuntu-restricted-extras*

[12:36] <kaminix> How can I check which driver's in use for example?
[12:37] <Hamra> hi, i use a very slow connection, so i have been downloading hardy by torrent, for a few days, but now, it says "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker"
[12:37] <Dr_willis> Hamra,  you may want to just wait a few days for the actual release befor using the torrent.
[12:37] <Dan1> hab ihr schon Kubuntu 8,04 rc ausprobbiert
[12:37] <Dan1> ????????
[12:37] <Dr_willis> Its going to have a lot of changes here in the next few weeks. Your torrent may be no longer 'current'
[12:38] <Hamra> what? i have to start all over again! damn!
[12:39] <kaminix> Nevermind. lsmod showed me the driver is loaded. it has loaded all rt2500-related drivers. Why is it so weak? :s
[12:40] <Dr_willis> Hamra,  Beta, and the rc just got released yesterday? The final will get relesed in a few more days. (10 days?)
[12:40] <Dr_willis> Of course you can install whatever you got. and then update/upgrade.. but that may download a few 100+mb of packages also
[12:41] <Hamra> and it takes me like 10 days to download a cd, very crappy connection with cery little bandwidth
[12:41] <_ZeuZ_> I can see my domain with SMB, but I can't copy files from Kubuntu, to a host with WindowsXP (smb works, though Samba is not installed, and I'd rather not install it) what can I do?
[12:42] <_ZeuZ_> edit: never mind, solved it.
[12:42] <Dr_willis> Hamra,  you may be better off just ordering a cd then.
[12:43] <Dr_willis> or finding a friend/local linux group/magazine at the bookstore. with the latest.
[12:44] <Hamra> never mind, i'll start the download when the final version is there, i want the alternate cd, i dont fancy reformatting with every version

[13:16] <izael> hello
[13:20] <laga> hi. so kubuntu 8.04 won't be LTS. what happens to the kde packages after 18 months? are they demoted to universe?
[13:22] <laga> http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components <- this website says that anything in main is supported, so i'm wondering how kde fits in
[13:26] <Jucato> after 18 months? you upgrade to the next version
[13:26] <Jucato> (or after 6 months if you want)
[13:26] <Jucato> main kde packages will always be main.
[13:26] <nosrednaekim> !info kate-kde4 hardy
[13:26] <ubotu> kate-kde4 (source: kdesdk-kde4): KDE4 Advanced Text Editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 802 kB, installed size 2256 kB
[13:27] <Jucato> kate is no longer main :P
[13:27] <nosrednaekim> laga: thats an interesting question :)
[13:27] <Jucato> huh?
[13:28]  * Jucato wonders why the question is interesting and suddenly relevant.. considering that all other releases other than Dapper were non-LTS.. and kde packages in main weren't demoted to universe
[13:28] <Jucato> nosrednaekim: kate-kde4 is not a good example at all
[13:28] <metbsd> is there live dvd that has kde4?
[13:29] <metbsd> cuz i 'd want it
[13:29] <laga> Jucato: i'm wondering because we have on repo - main - where only parts of the software will have 36 months of support (on the desktop, anyways). so people using kde apps in gnome, eg k3b, are left in the rain
[13:29] <nosrednaekim> Jucato: oh....
[13:30] <laga> s/on/one/
[13:30] <Jucato> laga: I'm not getting you... what's so different with hardy compared to breezy, edgy, feisty, and gutsy?
[13:30] <nosrednaekim> Jucato: I always wondered that, Kde3 will be in Main... so will it not be supported for the whole lifecycle of Hardy?
[13:30] <drbobb> duh, what's kde4's preferred replacement for kate then?
[13:31] <laga> Jucato: hardy is LTS. but the kde parts are not.
[13:31] <Jucato> drbobb: kate's still there. just in kdesdk
[13:31] <nosrednaekim> drbobb: kwrite
[13:31] <laga> so i wonder what will happen to the kde packages in after 18 months, given that they're not supported anymore (at least not commercially by canonical) while the rest of main is still supported
[13:31] <Jucato> laga: ah. I think only the kde4 parts aren't, and any universe ones. those in main still remain LTS afaik. (although that really doesn't mean much unless you are a Canonical customer)
[13:32] <laga> Jucato: well, "supported" means security updates, i guess.
[13:32] <Jucato> laga: imho, we've been pretty much on our own with kde packages ever since anyway
[13:33] <Jucato> afaik the LTS most usually just affects underlying stuff (below GNOME and KDE)
[13:33] <drbobb> nosrednaekim: does kwrite4 have more than 10% of the features of kde3-kate?
[13:33] <laga> Jucato: i know (unfortunately, because everyone knows that kde is the better desktop ;)).
[13:33] <Jucato> drbobb: no
[13:33] <_ZeuZ_> Jucato: Not necesarily.
[13:33] <Jucato> but has more features than kwrite-kde3 :)
[13:33] <_ZeuZ_> Jucato: They involve bug patching system-wide
[13:34] <Jucato> _ZeuZ_: "system-wide" would include GNOME packages I presume?
[13:34] <_ZeuZ_> As for Kate vs. Kwrite, I'll stick with Kate, and Abiword to beat the OO supremacy (and memory hog)
[13:34] <_ZeuZ_> Jucato; yup...
[13:35] <_ZeuZ_> Luckily, gnome is less buggy than KDE in some aspects, so there are less patches for it... pretty much their patches affect configuration files, and one or 2 faulty pieces of code
[13:35] <Jucato> there's really no KWrite vs Kate... if you want an advanced text editor, feel free to install Kate. otherwise, KDE sticks to 1 text editor by default, a basic, but not essentially less powerful  one: KWrite
[13:35] <armadill0> Hi, I'm thinking about installing 8.04 RC.  When canonical releases the 8.04 final version, how would I upgrade my 8.04 RC to the new version?  Is it as simple as apt-get upgrade?  Or would I need to do much more?  Can't wait to see it!
[13:36] <_ZeuZ_> Though, now-a-days, KDE 3.5.9 is indeed rock solid, and lightier than Gnome
[13:36] <_ZeuZ_> as for KDE 4.X.X is still too green for me
[13:36] <_ZeuZ_> and as for Kubuntu Hardy, for example, it brings Kate by default, and not Kwrite...
[13:36] <Jucato> armadill0: simple apt-get dist-upgrade would do
[13:36] <drbobb> well i remember when there was a kedit or something as default
[13:36] <armadill0> Jucato: thanks sir
[13:36] <Jucato> kedit is gone in KDE 4
[13:36] <drbobb> now that was pretty useless
[13:37] <_ZeuZ_> Jucato, not entirely, xD... THe package is not the same, though you can still get a Qt4 (and KDE4.X.X) kate from KDE repos
[13:38] <Jucato> _ZeuZ_: what do you mean the package isnot the same?
[13:38] <_ZeuZ_> Oh crap, just found out I'm out of CD-R and I need to burn 4 copys of WifiSlax
[13:38] <_ZeuZ_> Jucato: Different dependencies, and different name If I don't recall wrong

[13:39] <Wizard> cool
[13:40] <drbobb> as for crap, my cd/dvd burner stopped working
[13:40] <Wizard> i needed to edit /etc/hosts fast, so i simply copied it from another system

[13:40] <Wizard> but.. that overwrote hostname entry in hosts

[13:40] <Wizard> which means: i'm screwed
[13:40] <bleck> why would /proc/bus/usb/devices not exist?
[13:41] <_ZeuZ_> didn't you make a backup copy?
[13:41] <metbsd> where do i dl dvd that has kde
[13:41] <drbobb> at first i thought there might be a problem with k3b, but it won't burn discs under windows, either
[13:41] <Wizard> i booted ubuntu in single user mode, and instead just givin me fscking root prompt it shows dialo *which does not work*
[13:41] <Wizard> _ZeuZ_: of course i did
[13:41] <Jucato> metbsd: DVD remix of KDE 4?
[13:42] <Wizard> but how the hell can i revert to old file without root access?
[13:42] <bleck> metbsd : just kde?
[13:42] <_ZeuZ_> then change in grub ro to rw log in as root in a rescue shell, and replace it
[13:42] <drbobb> so let me ask o/t: have you guys also found that cd/dvd burners tend to fail as soon as the warranty expires?
[13:42] <Wizard> _ZeuZ_: i can't access the rescue shell :D
[13:42] <Wizard> the dialog simply does not work
[13:42] <_ZeuZ_> Wizard: That's why I told ya to modify in GRUB the line of Kernel booting changing RO to RW
[13:43] <bleck> drbobb : no, but it doesn't really suprise me.. like they probably figure some fail after a certain point, so..
[13:43] <_ZeuZ_> I posted a tutorial on how to do it in www.pirator.net/forums browse for it
[13:43] <Wizard> 1st, i don't have grub
[13:43] <Wizard> 2nd, what for?
[13:43] <Wizard> 3rd: HOW?!
[13:43] <Wizard> i can't login as root ;)
[13:43] <metbsd> kde4 and linux of course..
[13:43] <_ZeuZ_> Because that will DROP YOU to a rescue shell.
[13:43] <drbobb> bleck: especially laptop units seem to do so
[13:43] <_ZeuZ_> You won't even need a root password.
[13:43] <Jucato> metbsd: there doesn't seem to be a DVD KDE 4 remix... the plain DVD probably has both KDE 3 and 4
[13:43] <_ZeuZ_> and you'll be it (once you do it, make sure with whoami)
[13:43] <bleck> drbobb : how did it fail?
[13:43] <metbsd> why
[13:44] <metbsd> i sit because kde4 is not stable?
[13:44] <Wizard> _ZeuZ_: but if i want to modify yaboot config i nedd root acces, right?
[13:44] <drbobb> bleck: reading is ok, but refuses to record
[13:44] <Wizard> so how the fsck can i do it?
[13:44] <bleck> drbobb : what happens? sure its not the software?
[13:44] <drbobb> k3b says something about bad media or whatever
[13:44] <Wizard> i'm stuck :P
[13:44] <bleck> drbobb : try cdrecord
[13:44] <_ZeuZ_> Wizard: I allready told you how xD
[13:44] <Wizard> man
[13:44] <_ZeuZ_> PM me, and I'll explain you detailed
[13:44] <drbobb> which is not true, cause i take the same blanks to another pc and they work fine
[13:45] <bleck> drbobb : just to make sure.
[13:45] <bleck> drbobb : I *HAVE* however known laptop cd burners to be picky about the blank cds they are given.
[13:45] <drbobb> bleck: thx, will try. tried the s/w i have under windows already, and it didn;t work either
[13:46] <drbobb> except that it doesn't refuse to record outright
[13:46] <bleck> drbobb : get a different type of cd, just to make sure.
[13:46] <drbobb> it starts recording, and fails halfway through instead
[13:47] <bleck> drbobb: aah. yeah.. either, get different cds, or clean the laser
[13:47] <bleck> drbobb : or just complain about it, and get over it :)

[14:35] <tekteen> I think I figured it out
[14:35] <Jucato> good :)
[14:36] <Devourer> If I have an application on  one desktop why can I see it when I'm on another desktop?
[14:37] <tekteen> it is on all desktops
[14:37] <Devourer> tekteen, why?
[14:37] <tekteen> so you mean on the bar or on the desktop?
[14:37] <Devourer> On the bar.
[14:37] <tekteen> ok
[14:38] <tekteen> rightclick the bar
[14:38] <Wizard> Devourer: you can disable that
[14:38] <Devourer> I come from the world of Gnome, such a foreign place here..
[14:38] <tekteen> configure pannel
[14:38] <Devourer> Wizard, how?
[14:38] <Devourer> Where's the configure panel?
[14:38] <tekteen> I am telling you :-)
[14:38] <Jucato> Devourer: right-click on the panel -> Configure Panels -> Taskbar page -> uncheck [ ] Show windows from all desktops

[14:42] <Jucato> Jimmy1: as always, #compiz-fusion but as a hint, I don't think compiz-fusion is running or any window manager
[14:43] <Jimmy1> yeh it is cause it is doing the flip screen thing

[14:43] <tekteen> then type kwin --replace

[14:53] <kaminix> Yes.
[14:53] <kaminix> The RC
[14:53] <Devourer> #ubuntu+1
[14:53] <Jimmy1> ok im back

[14:55] <Jimmy1> since no on in compiz is alive
[14:55] <Jimmy1> here we go again
[14:55] <Jimmy1> Hey guys i just installed that compiz 3d thingy and the windows that are opened do not have the little icon where you can, close minimise and maximise the screen ! what happend and how do i fix it ?
[14:55] <Devourer> Haha.
[14:55] <Devourer> What does compiz do?
[14:56] <Jimmy1> rephrase that question  ?
[14:56] <Devourer> What is compiz's purpose?
[14:56] <Jimmy1> oh 3d pretty stuff
[14:56] <Devourer> lol
[14:56] <Jimmy1> youtube it
[14:56] <Devourer> Yeah, that's all I see when I searched for KDE on Youtube.
[14:57] <Devourer> s/see/saw/
[14:57] <Jimmy1> whats the diff between Ubuntu Kubuntu and the rest ?
[14:57] <Devourer> Ubuntu uses Gnome by default I suppose and Kubuntu uses KDE by default.
[14:57] <Jimmy1> whats gnome ?
[14:57] <Jimmy1> and whats kde
[14:58] <Devourer> Gnome is a desktop environment...
[14:58] <Devourer> SO is KDE.
[14:58] <Jimmy1> ummmmmmmmmmm
[14:58]  * Jimmy1 is fully enlightened now
[14:58] <Devourer> Basically the pretty interface that let's you navigate through Ubuntu without having to use the terminal.
[14:58] <Jucato> !gnome > Jimmy1
[14:58] <Jucato> !kde > Jimmy1
[14:58] <Jucato> see the PM the bot sent
[14:59] <Devourer> !gnome > Devourer
[14:59] <Jimmy1> yeh
[14:59] <Jimmy1> bit too high tec for me i think
[15:00] <Jimmy1> i think i like kubuntu best
[15:00] <Devourer> Yeah, I just switched over to KDE yesterday.
[15:00] <Jimmy1> cool cool
[15:00] <Devourer> Tired of how ugly Gnome is.
[15:00] <Jimmy1> so any1 wanna have a stab at fixing my lil issue ?
[15:00] <Jucato> basically, a Desktop Environment provides you with a graphical environment with a desktop, windows, panels, icons, and a suite of related apps to help make life easier for you
[15:01] <Devourer> Jimmy1, Have you tried googling it?
[15:01] <Jimmy1> let interactive
[15:01] <Jimmy1> where as if i come here i talk to you lot and we all get to fix my computer and we all get self satisfaction once it gets fixed :)
[15:02] <Jimmy1> less i mean
[15:02] <Jucato> (don't be so selfish :P)
[15:02]  * Jimmy1 giggles
[15:02] <Jimmy1> ok the think that closes the box is gone
[15:02] <Jimmy1> where did it go and how do i get it back ?
[15:02] <Jimmy1> cant minimise the screen
[15:02] <Jimmy1> cant close the screen
[15:03] <Jimmy1> you know what i mean " ? _ and X
[15:05] <pauljw> Jimmy1, you need to locate the compiz manager and select the correct theme manager, but i don't remember the details, i don't use it myself.

[15:13] <Wizard> hmm
[15:14] <Coggz> tricky one...
[15:14] <theunixgeek> Shouldn't Kubuntu come preinstalled with KOffice instead of OpenOffice?

[16:43] <benpicco> Hi, how can I get konqueror to acces a CD by /media/cdrom0 (or whatever the mountpoint is) instead of media:/scd0?
[16:45] <benpicco> it's really anoying, in those media:/ paths, there is no preview, ark or okkular (kde4 versions) can't access data there and copy & paste of those paths is impossible
[16:45] <benpicco> what's the idea behind this behaviour at all?
[16:46] <Daisuke_Ido> benpicco, the idea is to drive kde users batty
[16:47] <Jucato> benpicco: Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Previews  & Meta Data -> Local Protocol -> check [ ] media
[16:47] <Daisuke_Ido> at least, that's what i've gathered.
[16:48] <Jucato> it once served its purpose, but it's getting cumbersome.. so it's gone in KDE 4 now
[16:48] <Jucato> although I don't know why you aren't able to access data there
[16:48] <benpicco> ark is not able to acces this data
[16:49]  * Jucato sees that more as Ark's limitation... Ark is sucky...
[16:49] <benpicco> okular has the same problem
[16:49] <Daisuke_Ido> benpicco, nor can k9copy or okula.. yeah
[16:50] <benpicco> another wired thing is that mountpoints in media:/ are named compleatly different
[16:50] <benpicco> than the ones in /media
[16:50] <Jucato> okular is normal.. kde4 doesn't know media:/
[16:50] <Daisuke_Ido> besides, having multiple partitions of the same size, i much prefer dealing with them by name rather than by size...  that would be like giving identical triplets the same name
[16:51] <Jucato> unlike media:/, though, you can't give arbitrary labels to those /media mount points
[16:51] <Jucato> (But then again, who needs arbitrary labels)
[16:52] <Jucato> anyway, as for changing media:/ to /media... Kubuntu did that with Feisty (or was it Edgy), but unfortunately KDE 3 is not very adaptable to that change as a whole...
[16:52] <Jucato> too many issues, so it was reverted
[16:56] <Coggz^> how do i use a command like echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/led in thunderbird?

[17:28] <ctw> Hi! I'd like to ubrade to the Hardy RC. I saw these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu ... unfortunately, I don't get the "version upgrade" button in the adept manager. In the past I've just manually changed the release name in the sources.list file, but I figured maybe it's safer to do it the recommended way. Any advice?
[17:32] <amerigo> jhutchins: I've just check my situation.... kubuntu when start gives an ip address randomly. it belong to a lan and the server tell me the differt ip each time i retart
[17:32] <amerigo> restart
[17:33] <amerigo> this pc sometimes take the ip address of my lan printer...
[17:33] <amerigo> ... and there are some problem
[17:35] <liam> how do i update kde
[17:35] <amerigo> this is because i have dhcp "active", but if I give a ip address manually >>>> lan don't works
[17:36] <std> hi everybody
[17:36] <std> cya
[17:37] <ctw> Does anybody know why I might not have the "version upgrade" button in adept manager, and if just changing sources.list is advisable?
[17:38] <szakulec_> when I did an  upgrade before, you needed to check off some of the other repositiories
[17:39] <amerigo> ! lan
[17:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:39] <jhutchins> amerigo: What is providing dhcp?
[17:40] <amerigo> jhutchins:  Xp home computer, tha works like server
[17:41] <jhutchins> amerigo: Not recommended, but you need to reserve the printer's IP address.
[17:41] <amerigo> (if i have understand your question)
[17:41] <jhutchins> amerigo: Also reserve any other manually assigned address.
[17:41] <cecko> hi, my ubuntu does recognize CDMA modem but it does not connect it to /dev/usb/ttyACM0
[17:41] <cecko> any ideas?
[17:42] <cecko> I have the /dev/usb/ttyACM0 file
[17:42] <jhutchins> amerigo: You can also tie a specific address to the MAC of your linux box and it will always assign that address instead of "random" addresses.
[17:42] <jhutchins> cecko: What does it connect it to?
[17:43] <cecko> jhutchins I don't know it's friends box.
[17:43] <cecko> dmesg says there is the USB ACM modem
[17:43] <amerigo> jhutchins: printer's ip is always the same. Can you give me an example of MAC address?? Where I can see it??
[17:43] <cecko> jhutchins but calling with pppd says: unrecognized device /dev/usb/ttyACM0
[17:44] <yao_ziyuan> i just installed kde4-core
[17:44] <yao_ziyuan> found it not useful
[17:44] <yao_ziyuan> but i have set kde4 as the default window manager
[17:44] <yao_ziyuan> how do i set it back to kdm?
[17:44] <jim> hey my lil icons that close the windows and minimise them are gone ! how do i get them back ! i cant even move the screen thats open unless i press alt
[17:46] <cecko> jhutchins any ideas? how do I find out what device in /dev the modem is? it did not list any /dev address in dmesg
[17:46] <Jucato> jim: if you can get to a Konsole (or if right-click on desktop -> Run Command works), type "kwin --replace"
[17:46] <Jucato> yao_ziyuan: kde4-core is too "basic" and won't contain much useful stuff. #kubuntu-kde4 for KDE 4 questions
[17:47] <yao_ziyuan> either my window manager or my display manager has changed to kde4. i want it back to kde3...
[17:47] <yao_ziyuan> what is kde3's default x window manager? kwin or metacity?
[17:47] <Jucato> if you have kde3 installed, just logout, then choose KDE 3 from the Session
[17:47] <SSJ_GZ> yao_ziyuan: kwin
[17:47] <Jucato> kwin of coursze
[17:48] <Jucato> metacity is GNOME's window manager
[17:48] <yao_ziyuan> now it's metacity but everything seems the same
[17:48] <algyz> Hi, trying to manage with partitions with qtparted, but it is not allowing to create one more primary partition http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3703/partitionsar4.png
[17:49] <yao_ziyuan> then, how to change the default display manager?
[17:49] <metbsd> where do i get kubuntu live dvd?
[17:50] <yao_ziyuan> done
[17:50] <yao_ziyuan> sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[17:50] <metbsd> kubuntu = debian?
[17:51] <hydrogen> yes = no?
[17:52] <yao_ziyuan> when i was installing kde4-core,
[17:53] <yao_ziyuan> configuration went halfway and adept-manager silently crashed
[17:53] <yao_ziyuan> \
[17:53] <yao_ziyuan> now it says kde4-core is "installed"
[17:53] <yao_ziyuan> but i doubt some packages are not configured
[17:54] <yao_ziyuan> maybe i should remove kde4-core, run an autoremove, then install kde4-core again?
[18:07] <metbsd> it's 2008, why do we still need to edit a file to get different resolution

[18:54] <djouallah> i never triy it before, to be honest ;) on linux, i use english

[18:55] <Wizard> hmm, try asking on #kde

[18:55] <djouallah> already done
[18:55] <djouallah> not much arab there !
[18:55] <Wizard> so i'm out of ideas :D
[18:55] <djouallah> hehe
[18:56] <Wizard> 1. i don't use windows.. 2. i know only few arabic words (mostly curses)
[18:56] <Pliskin> under linux, there is a package for arabic
[18:56] <Pliskin> have you installed the same for windows ?
[18:56] <Wizard> ah, right!
[18:56] <djouallah> yeah but it don't show

[18:57] <djouallah> Wizard,  u mean systemesetting in kde4

[19:00] <djouallah> but i hope we get a gui for windows :)
[19:01] <Wizard> djouallah: does kde4 replaces windows shell?
[19:01] <djouallah> no of course it is just the applications
[19:01] <Wizard> or it just runs kde apps on top of windows shell?
[19:01] <djouallah> latter
[19:01] <Wizard> ah, too bad
[19:02] <djouallah> no in the contrary, what matter are apps

[19:06] <yakuzi> I'm wondering, if i want to make a triple boot (winXP, Kubuntu, Arch Linux) can i use this partition scheme: boot,windows,swap,kubuntu,Arch Linux, data partition? So that Kubuntu and Arch use both the same swap partition?
[19:07] <Devourer> Is there a libxine-ffmpeg package?
[19:07] <Devourer> I'm trying to get amarok to play wma's.
[19:07] <Pliskin> They can use the same swap partition I think, but not the same /home
[19:09] <yakuzi> the /home is on each linux partition because i store my data on the fat32 data partition (windows needs acces too heh)
[19:10] <Pliskin> so it will work I guess

[19:12] <Pliskin> dek : KDM choose the latest WM to be default, doesn't it ?
[19:12] <hydrogen> there should be an options button

[20:07] <theunixgeek> :P
[20:07] <Wizard> DiViN3: paste ~20 last messages on pastebin.ca
[20:07] <jhutchins> benjamin_: does alsamixer run in console?
[20:07] <claydoh> theunixgeek: removing kde3 is tricky, id suggest trying the kde4 hardy disk
[20:08] <theunixgeek> geburah: thanks; I'll try it out :)
[20:08] <theunixgeek> claydoh: no, I keep getting dropped to a busybox shell
[20:08] <claydoh> theunixgeek: but in kde4 you might still need some kde3 app right now
[20:08] <benjamin_> jhutchins yes
[20:08] <DiViN3> Wizard : dont mind how do i paste the messages in pastebin
[20:08] <theunixgeek> claydoh: just a few, I hope ;)
[20:08] <jhutchins> benjamin_: All inputs/outputs on and up?
[20:08] <Wizard> DiViN3: you will need to install header files (-dev packages) to compile psybnc
[20:09] <geburah> theunixgeek: i would not move permanently to kde4 at the moment
[20:09] <Wizard> DiViN3: open browser -> pastebin.ca -> right click on text field -> paste
[20:09] <DiViN3> ok wats the command to install that packages
[20:09] <theunixgeek> geburah: why not?
[20:09] <benjamin_> jhutchins: well now they are let me check, if this fixed it
[20:09] <theunixgeek> geburah: I've tried it before and I like it
[20:09] <jhutchins> theunixgeek: It's not finished.  Most of the programs you actually USE the computer for aren't ported.  But, hey, it looks great!
[20:09] <geburah> theunixgeek: too new, too buggy still, lack of features
[20:09] <benjamin_> line in and iec958 have no bars
[20:09] <geburah> theunixgeek: too tender
[20:09] <theunixgeek> geburah: anyway, isn't the remaster a bit old :P
[20:09] <geburah> :D
[20:10] <theunixgeek> jhutchins: :)
[20:10] <geburah> theunixgeek: you shuld be able to update from repositories
[20:10] <xoqa> are there plans for a port of konq-plugins to kde4 soon?
[20:10] <claydoh> theunixgeek: there is a hardy RC disc for KDE4-only install
[20:10]  * xoqa wants a restore feature 
[20:10] <geburah> apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
[20:10] <geburah> as root
[20:10] <jhutchins> xoqa: Install a backup package and use it.
[20:10] <theunixgeek> claydoh: again, it keeps dropping me to a busybox shell
[20:10] <geburah> or use sudo
[20:10] <DiViN3> Wizard: wats the url for pastebin.ca
[20:10] <jhutchins> benjamin_: progress?
[20:11] <benjamin_> jhutchins: still no sound
[20:11] <geburah> Wizard: I think i know what the problem is
[20:11] <theunixgeek> I'll try the remaster CD
[20:11] <xoqa> umm.. there's a backup package for konqueror-kde4? :P no way
[20:11] <claydoh> theunixgeek: then a server gutsy install disk, no gui, then add the repos and install kde4
[20:11] <geburah> i have no drivers loaded for this RAID controller
[20:11] <xoqa> for the open tabs that is
[20:11] <benjamin_> jhutchins we had sound on the live cd
[20:11] <theunixgeek> is there a torrent for the kde 4 remaster?
[20:11] <ShishKabab> Hi! I want to help a friend install his Ubuntu Server.... I have SSH access. I there any way he could watch what I'm doing?
[20:12] <jhutchins> benjamin_: sudo cat /boot/vmlinuz<tab> > /dev/dsp
[20:12] <claydoh> theunixgeek: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/RC/Kubuntu#head-7278e1b8b1ee7a1bfff91a03418e4ee371ddbcdb
[20:12] <jhutchins> benjamin_: Should make noise.  Ctrl-C to stop.
[20:12] <theunixgeek> claydoh: I keep telling you, the Hardy CDs keep dropping me to a busybox shell!
[20:12] <claydoh> theunixgeek: cancel that bad link
[20:13] <benjamin_> got no noise
[20:13] <jhutchins> benjamin_: but alsamixer is good.  Hm.  Hardware check time.
[20:13] <jhutchins> benjamin_: Speakers plugged in correctly and turned on and up.
[20:14] <benjamin_> jhutchins yeah, and the hardware was working yesterday when this was a murdersoft box
[20:14] <claydoh> theunixgeek: then as i said, the only way currently to get a Gutsy only kde4 is a server install of ubunru (no gui) then add the kde4 repos and install that way
[20:14] <jhutchins> benjamin_: That was yesterday, worth checking.
[20:14] <claydoh> afaik
[20:14] <DiViN3> Wizard: i hv paste it already
[20:14] <benjamin_> jhutchins all the pretty lights are on
[20:14] <theunixgeek> claydoh: ok
[20:14] <jhutchins> benjamin_: is kmix running (speaker icon in systray)?
[20:15] <benjamin_> jhutchins kmix is up
[20:15] <jhutchins> benjamin_: Try playing something, open kmix and move the ballance off of center.
[20:15] <claydoh> theunixgeek: but it migh be worth it to see if there are any fixes/etc for your hardy problem
[20:15] <benjamin_> jhutchins I've been using dapper and there normall is a little green light at the top of kmix in the kicker now there's a blue squiggle is that supposed to be there
[20:16] <theunixgeek> the live cd for hardy keeps dropping me to a busybox shell. how do I fix this?
[20:16] <jhutchins> Hm.  Open kmix and see what it looks like.
[20:16] <benjamin_> there's no green dot on top of pcm
[20:16] <claydoh> theunixgeek: dunno, maybe a forum search ? (depends on your hardware probably)
[20:17] <jhutchins> theunixgeek: check md5sum of iso & cd.
[20:17] <claydoh> theunixgeek: also try an alternate install...text-based non-live cd
[20:17] <claydoh> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-kde4/releases/8.04/rc/
[20:17] <claydoh> kubuntu-kde4-8.04-rc-alternate-i386.iso
[20:17] <theunixgeek> jhutchins: works fine in an emulator :P
[20:17] <DiViN3> Wizard : so any resolutions to this issue
[20:18] <knulfine> would someone tell me the german channel please?
[20:18] <benjamin_> jhutchins
[20:18] <benjamin_> jhutchins fixed the problem
[20:18] <ubuntu> hello
[20:18] <claydoh> knulfine: #kubuntu-de iirc
[20:18] <ubuntu> i am currently using the Kubuntu live CD
[20:18] <knulfine> thanks
[20:18] <benjamin_> jhutchins appearently I cannot tell the difference between an on green light in kmix and an off light
[20:19] <benjamin_> we're good now
[20:19] <benjamin_> thanks for the help
[20:20] <ubuntu> i have 2 problems: 1_ Konqueror doesn't connect to the internet , 2_ i have 2 partitions of roughly the same size, i don't know which is which :/ how can i know ? (i want a duel boot, meaning that i must know which one i want to"cut")
=== ubuntu is now known as blackmail
[20:21] <blackmail> has anyone got an idea ?
[20:21] <rootlinuxusr> what's the issue?
[20:21] <blackmail> is sda1 always C:\ on windows?
[20:21] <ShishKabab> Hi! I want to help a friend install his Ubuntu Server.... I have SSH access. I there any way he could watch what I'm doing?
[20:21] <blackmail> i have 2 problems: 1_ Konqueror doesn't connect to the internet , 2_ i have 2 partitions of roughly the same size, i don't know which is which :/ how can i know ? (i want a duel boot, meaning that i must know which one i want to"cut")
[20:21] <blackmail> that's the problem rootlinuxusr
[20:22] <blackmail> i'm on the LiveCD
[20:22] <rootlinuxusr> but you have one that has windows installed?
[20:22] <rootlinuxusr> then look through the ones in /media and look for Windows, Program Files, etc...
[20:22] <blackmail> yeah, my C:\ has windows (same disk, but 3 parts on it, one with vista, one for data, and one for restauration files)
[20:23] <rootlinuxusr> remove the vista install =/
[20:23] <rootlinuxusr> xD
[20:23] <blackmail> huh ? how do i do that? i want to cut G:\ , but i don't know if it's sda1 or sdz2
[20:23] <blackmail> sda2*
[20:23] <rootlinuxusr> but yes under /media look for the stereotypical windows files.
[20:24] <blackmail> there isn't anything in /media :/
[20:24] <blackmail> i haven't installed linux yet, i'm on the liveCD.
[20:25] <blackmail> so how can i differenciate the two partitions ? (is partition the right word for it ?)
[20:25] <rootlinuxusr> yeah
[20:26] <rootlinuxusr> umm... are you on KDE org GDE?
[20:26] <rootlinuxusr> or*
[20:26] <blackmail> actually, i think i know which partition G:\ is
[20:26] <blackmail> KDE
[20:26] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: you mean GNOME ?
[20:26] <emilsedgh> what is GDE?
[20:26] <rootlinuxusr> yeah the gnome desktop environment
[20:26] <rootlinuxusr> kde desktop environment
[20:26] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: um, no
[20:26] <l0mrw> hello. has anyone managed to use camcorder as mic, if connected via usb?
[20:26] <rootlinuxusr> no u.
[20:26] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: GNU Object Model Environment
[20:27] <rootlinuxusr> eh, up for interpretation..
[20:27] <blackmail> oh oh
[20:27] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: and it's the K Desktop Environment
[20:27] <blackmail> i think i just bugged
[20:27] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: not KDE Desktop Environment
[20:27] <rootlinuxusr> yes, but could you not also say the KDE D. E.?
[20:27] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: that would be wrong
[20:27] <rootlinuxusr> does that not also = KDE.
[20:28] <theunixgeek> it's the K D.E. :P
[20:28] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: yeah, but it's not the right way to say it
[20:28] <blackmail> isn't the installer supposed to partition at the end of the thing ? i started partition or something
[20:28] <rootlinuxusr> so i forgot a modifier...sue me
[20:28] <rootlinuxusr> xD
[20:28] <blackmail> so i tried to quit, now it's not responding :/
[20:28] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: http://kde.org/whatiskde/

[20:28] <theunixgeek> rootlinuxusr: "KDE or the K Desktop Environment, is a ..... "
[20:29] <blackmail> guys ... how do i shutdown an application by force ?
[20:29] <rootlinuxusr> ps -aux
[20:29] <blackmail> the linux installer bugged :/
[20:29] <blackmail> huh ?
[20:29] <rootlinuxusr> or xkill
[20:29] <rootlinuxusr> and click on it
[20:29] <rootlinuxusr> from Terminal.
[20:30] <blackmail> doesn't xkill turn off the graphics mode ?
[20:30] <SlimeyPete> no
[20:30] <rootlinuxusr> xkill just lets you click on an x application and kill it
[20:30] <rootlinuxusr> not the x server.
[20:30] <blackmail> oh ok :)
[20:31] <blackmail> thanks
[20:31] <rootlinuxusr> that would be kill -9 Xorg
[20:31] <rootlinuxusr> or is it xorg? damn case-sensitivity...
[20:31] <l0mrw> any chance to tream audio from webcam/camcorder?
[20:32] <blackmail> now the install program won't load :D
[20:32] <deepfreez> Hi, i running kubuntu and i need a software for connecting my Phone Nokia S65 with usb a computer ( for add music , video , theme , etc )
[20:32] <deepfreez> howq can tell me a soft

[20:34] <Wizard> DiViN3: give me the link :D
[20:34] <deepfreez> blackmail, can you help me?
[20:34] <blackmail> deepfreez: probably not :D
[20:34] <blackmail> ,ever installer linux yet ><
[20:34] <blackmail> never*
[20:35] <deepfreez> pfff
[20:35] <rootlinuxusr> deepfreez, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=34740&highlight=obexserver
[20:35] <blackmail> rootlinuxusr: you there ?
[20:35] <rootlinuxusr> second link from that google page...
[20:35] <deepfreez> i don't have Bluetooth
[20:35] <blackmail> or anyone that know how to restart a program that i earlier killed
[20:35] <rootlinuxusr> look for the program terminal
[20:35] <rootlinuxusr> !terminal
[20:35] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[20:36] <DiViN3> Wizard : the link is http://pastebin.ca/989820
[20:36] <blackmail> what do you mean ?i just killed the install thing for Kubuntu (i'm on the liveCD) , and i can't reopen it anymore
[20:36] <rootlinuxusr> i know. i'm trying to make sure it's killed.
[20:36] <antonio_> hola
[20:36] <rootlinuxusr> the other option, since it's a liveCD, is to just reboot
[20:37] <blackmail> there must be a simpler way to just reopen something right ?
[20:37] <blackmail> surely
[20:37] <antonio_> quien vive?
[20:37] <rootlinuxusr> there might be an install icon in the K menu
[20:38] <Wizard> DiViN3: could you paste more?
[20:38] <Wizard> it doesn't say anything
[20:38] <blackmail> but it there's the little mouse icon saying it's loading, then it just disappears
[20:39] <rootlinuxusr> try this, press ctrl-alt-backspace, it'll reboot without rebooting.... just reloads the X server...all the programs should be able to restart...
[20:39] <blackmail> ok i'll try
[20:40]  * ubuntu_ is trying
=== ubuntu_ is now known as blackmail
[20:40] <blackmail> not working >_<
[20:40] <blackmail> i'm scared i messed up my hard drive :/
=== mwilliams is now known as linuxguymarshall
[20:40] <DiViN3> Wizard : I hv paste the entire log when i type make in psybnc
[20:41] <DiViN3> Wizard: Plz view it thanks
[20:41] <blackmail> i'll try rebooting
[20:45] <Annirak> I'm trying to get a via Rhine based ethernet card working under ubuntu 7.10.  The makefile that came with the card is broken and I can't find the package I need.  Which package contains the Via Rhine driver?
[20:46] <Annirak> TheSheep: Sorry, I'm not very good with BitchX, I thought i was in a different channel.
[20:46] <geburah> Wizard: I found taht in VIA Arena tehy keep drivers for lots of OSs including ubuntu

=== ubuntu__ is now known as blackmail
[20:50] <blackmail> ok so intall hhing reworking
[20:50] <blackmail> thing*
[20:52] <blackmail> erm ok so , i am creating a logical partition
[20:52] <blackmail> mount point is /  right ?
[20:53] <blackmail> anyone ?
[20:53] <Wizard> DiViN3: i did
[20:53] <Wizard> but i don't know what's wrong
[20:53] <Wizard> seems that i t does not load some header file
[20:53] <blackmail> hello ? anyone ?
[20:54] <blackmail> i want to create my linux partition, being a logical one, is the moint point / ?
[20:54] <nosrednaekim> blackmail: yes
[20:54] <blackmail> ok, and another problem
[20:54] <blackmail> konqueror doesn't connect to any website
[20:54] <blackmail> for some reason
[20:55] <blackmail> anyone know why ?
[20:55] <nosrednaekim> thats because of knetwork manager (if the rest of your internet stuff works)
[20:55] <kkathman> blackflag:  can you connect with firefox or get mail?
[20:55] <blackmail> nosrednaekim: how can i solve this problem ?
[20:56] <blekos> hi, would my system be slower if i install multiple window managers?
[20:56] <adude> has anyone here used xvidcap?
[20:56] <kkathman> blekos:  you mean ubuntu and kubuntu ?
[20:57] <nosrednaekim> blekos: no
[20:57] <blekos> i mean xfce
[20:57] <nosrednaekim> blackmail: are you using wireless?
[20:57] <kkathman> blekos:  you basically are only running one at a time anyway
[20:57] <kkathman> so no it wouldnt be slower or faster really
[20:57] <blackmail> nosrednaekim: yes
[20:58] <blekos> i c, i know that it gets slower if i run eg gnome applications in kde cause it has to load the appropriate libs
[20:58] <scifi> hi guys, other than the screen brightness options, does kubuntu have any other power management features???
[20:58] <kkathman> blekos:  right, if you run only gnome stuff, it might be a tad faster, but maybe not even noticeable
[20:58] <blekos> i c
[20:58] <blekos> thnx
[20:59] <blackmail> nosrednaekim: does the fact that i use wireless change anythng ?
[20:59] <kkathman> blekos:  its really what apps your are running that makes the diff
[20:59] <nosrednaekim> blackmail: ah, ok, go into system settings-> advanced->service manager and stop the Internet Status Daemon
[20:59] <scifi> anyone?
[20:59] <nosrednaekim> Network Status Daemon that is...
[20:59] <blackmail> ok thanks
[20:59] <nosrednaekim> blackmail: if you weren't, I'd just say get rid of Knetworkmanager
[20:59] <kkathman> scifi:  yes, load and run kpowersave
[21:00]  * Wizard wanders off
[21:00] <Wizard> o/
[21:00] <blackmail> ok works fine now
[21:00] <blackmail> thanks a lot nosrednaekim
[21:00] <scifi> kkathman: i dont actually have kubuntu installed, i was thinking of installing it on a laptop to replace vista
[21:00] <scifi> kkathman: what options does kpowersave allow?
[21:01] <kkathman> scifi:  yes, kpowersave is really meant for laptops actually
[21:01] <jhutchins> kkathman: really actually?
[21:01] <kkathman> scifi:  it allows profiles that you can set for display, drive shut downs, etc
[21:01] <blackmail> nosrednaekim: last question
[21:01] <blackmail> i have a couple of partitions, i want linux on one of them, i created a logical partition that is /
[21:02] <blackmail> do i have to create the /swap and /home right now ?
[21:02] <jhutchins> blackmail: What's the goal?
[21:02] <DiViN3> Wizard: so wats the resolutions to resolve that problem
[21:02] <kkathman> jhutchins:  well, kpowersave is more or less worthless on a desktop - its not even installed by default
[21:02] <scifi> kkathman: does it allow cpu usage settings, like low power usage when doing less processor intensive tasks and more power for more intensive tasks?
[21:02] <jhutchins> blackmail: What's the goal?
[21:03] <blackmail> jhutchins erm just installing linux (to have a dualboot vista/linux)
[21:03] <kkathman> scifi:  not that I recall on the cpu
[21:03] <kkathman> scifi:  its more for hard drive, display and those kinds of things - I dont recall any "cpu" settings tho
[21:04] <jhutchins> blackmail: Well, you have to have /, that's where everything else goes except swap.  swap is reccomeneded, but doesn't get mounted.  Some people like to split out /boot and/or /home, I don't.  If you do, space you need will always be on the wrong partition.  Do backups.
[21:04] <scifi> ok hmm, i just wonder if id get the same battery life as vista does
[21:04] <kkathman> scifi:  hmm, I would imagine it would be better, but thats just a guess
[21:04] <jhutchins> blackmail: So this machine just has swap and root (/).
[21:04] <blackmail> jhutchins so i have to have : / and /swap  as different partitions ?
[21:05] <blackmail> does that mean that the logical partition mustn't be mounted as /,  but having inside it / and /swap
[21:05] <blackmail> ?
[21:05] <scifi> kkathman: ok thats encouraging, i think the new kde4 pretty much has every feature of vista, its just the power management i wasnt sure about
[21:05] <jhutchins> blackmail: swap, not /swap.  Should be.  You can do a swap file on /, but it's non-standard.  Easier to just make a 1G swap partition.
[21:06] <kkathman> scifi:  kde4 would get you well along the way, yes
[21:06] <serenity> hi
[21:06] <serenity> where can i find the oxygen icons in my kde4 installation?
[21:06] <blackmail> jhutchins erm ok, but what do i put as the mount point for the logical partition ?
[21:06] <blackmail> nothing ?
[21:06] <jhutchins> scifi: Actually, there's quite a lot missing from kde4, and it's not terribly stable.
[21:06] <jhutchins> blackmail: For swap?  Nothing.
[21:07] <blackmail> jhutchins i want to create one logical partition, in which i will have two partitions, / and swap
[21:07] <scifi> jhutchins: not stable, in what way exactly?
[21:07] <blackmail> extended partition*
[21:07] <kkathman> scifi:  I agree with jhutchins on that... kde4 is still buggy and its not "done" yet.. You might try kde 3.5.8 etc, with compiz-fusion for the eye candy
[21:07] <jhutchins> scifi: as in sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
[21:08] <jhutchins> blackmail: DO you mean extended partition?  What are you using for "logical partitions"?
[21:08] <scifi> hmmm ok, does 3.5.8 allow you to add widgest like the clock etc on the dekstop?
[21:08] <kkathman> Im not particularly fond of dolphin as a file manager either
[21:08] <serenity> where can i find the oxygen icons in my kde4 installation?
[21:08] <scifi> widgets*
[21:08] <kkathman> scifi:  yes, you can use superkaramba to do things like that
[21:08] <jhutchins> scifi: xclock and rclock
[21:09] <blackmail> jhutchins well , i have my windows partition (primary), my restoration one, my data one, and i want an extended partition with every linux partition on it
[21:09] <scifi> it was also the krunner app of kde4 that attrected me, being able to type in app names like in vistas search
[21:09] <scifi> i guess 3.5.8 doesnt have this?
[21:09] <blackmail> when i create a partition on the free space, i have "Logical or Primary", so i guess logical = extended jhutchins
[21:09] <kkathman> scifi:  Alt F2 gets you the same thing
[21:10] <scifi> cool
[21:10] <jhutchins> blackmail: ... and your question is?  That's how you partition a drive for an MS system, three primaries, then a logical, then as many extendeds as you want (I'm sure there's a limit).
[21:10] <scifi> i just looked up kpowersave and it does allow cpu settings too :D
[21:10] <kkathman> scifi:  and thats in any 3.5
[21:10] <adude> does anybody know of a video screen capture program?
[21:10] <kkathman> scifi:  excellent
[21:10] <jhutchins> blackmail: Some OS's don't have problems with more than four primaries, but I haven't followed that up lately (since I only need two).
[21:10] <blackmail> jhutchins ok thanks
[21:11] <scifi> kkathman: looks very promising then, may as well wait for the kubuntu 8.04 with kde 3.5.9 rock solid?
[21:12] <kkathman> scifi:  might not be a bad idea, yes... keep you from installing and then upgrading
[21:12] <epimeth> scifi: you can install it now, too.  it comes out of beta any day now
[21:13] <kkathman> scifi:  or you can get the beta I guess and then do the patches as they come out
[21:13] <jhutchins> scifi: Always best to wait for the actual release unless you plan to be part of the testing bugreport process.
[21:13] <jhutchins> scifi: If your purpose is to do work with the computer, stick with releases and don't be tempted to think "beta" means "latest and greatest" - it doesn't.
[21:13] <scifi> i'll wait, i havent even got the laptop yet, this is all just theory at the moment
[21:14] <kkathman> scifi:  good idea
[21:14] <epimeth> scifi: in that case, come back when you get the new lappy :-)
[21:14] <scifi> unfortunately most laptops come pre-installed with vista, but theres no way i'll be keeping it on there
[21:15] <blackmail> jhutchins i can't get to access the extended partitio/n to put the swap and / in it, it kinda assumes it's already
[21:15] <blackmail> already /
[21:15] <jhutchins> scifi: I would recommend you get one that the XP "downgrade" is at least available for, it's easier to find drivers.
[21:15] <kkathman> scifi:  I think you can still get a Dell lappy with ubuntu on it
[21:15] <scifi> i dabbled with ubuntu then kubuntu a couple of years ago on my older desktop and liked it, hence my return here :)
[21:16] <jhutchins> blackmail: If you've created an extended partition, it's a partition.  If you have the first logical partition, it's a place to put extendeds.   What tool are you trying to use?
[21:16] <blackmail> jhutchins i'm using the manual partitioner , in the Kubuntu installer program
[21:17] <scifi> i was looking at a "nearly new" samsung q45 on ebay, but it has vista on it, i was thinking i cud just reformat and install a linux distro :)
[21:17] <blackmail> the logical partition is assumed as /
[21:17] <blackmail> i don't get it
[21:17] <blackmail> i'll start from scratch, i have the free space, and i want one whole linux partition
[21:18] <epimeth> the problem is that you're still paying for vista, so the price goes up
[21:18] <blackmail> i gotta make it logical, with all the free space, and put two partitions in it, right?
[21:18] <scifi> i always found kde easier to use than gnome, even simple tasks like creating shortcuts for apps required a terminal command in gnome, whereas kde was just a right click option
[21:18] <blackmail> so, jhutchins, how do i get the partitioner to understand that the logical partition must contain two others
[21:18] <blackmail> ?
[21:19] <epimeth> blackmail: you create an extended with the whole space and then create logicals inside it
[21:20] <blackmail> epimeth: but there isn't any "extended" option ?!
[21:20] <blackmail> or i can't see it :s
[21:20] <blackmail> when i click New Partition, i've got Logical or Primary
[21:20] <blackmail> not Extended
[21:21] <jhutchins> blackmail: Just create the two partitions, don't worry about it.
[21:21] <blackmail> jhutchins but i already have 3 primaries
[21:21] <epimeth> blackmail: so create two logicals, they will both go into the same extended
[21:21] <blackmail> that won't do the trick
[21:21] <scifi> i guess the kubuntu cd will be able to do all the partitioning, formatting and installing for me, can it delete existing partitions too?
[21:21] <blackmail> epimeth: erm ok
=== ubuntu_ is now known as kaminix
[21:22] <scifi> NTFS partitions i mean?
[21:22] <jhutchins> scifi: It can delete 'em, not sure if it can resize them.  I think it uses gparted, which can.  Make backups if you have something you want to keep.
[21:22] <blackmail> erm, installer kinda bugged again, not responding ><
[21:23] <epimeth> scifi: the cd just uses regular partitioning software, so yes
[21:23] <jhutchins> scifi: If you just want to delete the NTFS, no sweat, it can do that.
[21:23] <jhutchins> epimeth: uses gparted, doesn't it?
[21:23] <blackmail> erm guys
[21:24] <blackmail> how do i get the installer reworking ? >_< it doesn't respond anymore
[21:24] <scifi> haha, i remember gparted froma  couple of years ago :)
[21:24] <epimeth> jhutchins: I think so... I honestly didn't care enough to check
[21:24] <jhutchins> blackmail: It's not clear to me what you're really trying to do. You might try deleting the partitions so there's just free space, then restart the installer and let it autopartition. You can look at what it did and figure it out from there.
[21:24] <epimeth> blackmail: there might be something wrong with the disk?  try burning it again
[21:25] <scifi> jhutchins: ye i wud want it to delete the vista ntfs partitions and then create the linux partitiond, think they called ex2 or soemthing arent they?
[21:25] <epimeth> blackmail: I've had problems, myself
[21:25] <blackmail> erm i don't know really now
[21:25] <epimeth> scifi: ext3, actually...
[21:25] <scifi> thats the one :)
[21:25] <blackmail> jhutchins well i have a few primary partitions that i need to keep + free space, i want to turn the free space in an extended partition, for linux
[21:26] <ubuntu_> newbie questions welcome here? :p
=== ubuntu_ is now known as [Matt]
[21:26] <epimeth> scifi: I haven't used ext2 in like 5 years at least... Was using reiserfs for a while, it was pretty good.  but I'm very happy with ext3
[21:26] <blackmail> epimeth: i think the disc is fine
=== [Matt] is now known as fartbandit

[21:28] <blackmail> scifi: i'm using it right now
[21:28] <fartbandit> complete newbie here to linux but im having a crack at setting up a triboot vista xp kubuntu system from 2 disks
[21:28] <jhutchins> blackmail: It's not clear to me what you're really trying to do. You might try deleting the partitions so there's just free space, then restart the installer and let it autopartition. You can look at what it did and figure it out from there.
[21:28] <greeg> hi gang.
[21:29] <scifi> kewl, laters
[21:29] <epimeth> ahoy greeg!
[21:29] <fartbandit> epimeth manual install isnt that easy :p
[21:29] <blackmail> jhutchins there isn't an autopartition option :/ it's either "all the disk" or "manual" :/
[21:29] <greeg> im aware that for all linux systems there is only one / dir.  but i also want to install an other distro of experimental purposes.
[21:29] <greeg> how do i do this?
[21:29] <fartbandit> im avoiding the eautomated install as the only options seem to want to write over my xp and vista installs
[21:30] <jhutchins> Well, that's dumb.
[21:30] <fartbandit> -e
[21:30] <blackmail> jhutchins i , erm, know.
[21:30] <jhutchins> Are you sure you had free space?  There should be a "use free space" option.
[21:30] <algyz> how to write floppy .img image?
[21:30] <epimeth> fartbandit: fartbandit??? not when I installed it....
[21:30] <jhutchins> algyz: dd if=<file> of=/dev/fd0
[21:30] <blackmail> jhutchins i do after i made some with the partitionning thing
[21:30] <blackmail> Gparted or whatever
[21:31] <SperMite> gnome or kde which is the road i shall take?
[21:31] <blackmail> i didn't have freespace before
[21:31] <jhutchins> blackmail: so restart and see if it gives you a 'free space' option.
[21:31] <algyz> jhutchins thx guy :)
[21:31] <blackmail> erm, ok jhutchins
[21:31] <epimeth> SperMite: I prefer KDE... in fact, you're in the *K*ubuntu channel, so most of us do
[21:31] <adude> how do you remove a program from the command line?
[21:31] <fartbandit> im getting no option otherwise here.... however ive used the vista partition tool to set up 8gb of free space on my 2nd disk for a crack at a manual install
[21:32] <jhutchins> adude: use the apt tools or aptitude, don't just delete it.
[21:32] <SperMite> epimeth why do you prefer kde?
[21:32] <adude> ok
[21:33] <fartbandit> has anyone here used the manual install to set up an ubuntu distro??
[21:33] <jhutchins> adude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[21:33] <jhutchins> fartbandit: Yes, it's been a while.
[21:34] <fartbandit> just need a swap and main partition on the remaining 7gb of space
[21:34] <jhutchins> fartbandit: So kubuntu doesn't give you the option to use all the free space, even when it's there?
[21:34] <SperMite> i'm running gnome. but im just not diggin it
[21:34] <fartbandit> however im unsure of the exact settings i need
[21:35] <jhutchins> fartbandit: Give it a shot.  Need about 1G for swap, the rest for data.  Usually the installers like the data to be first, the swap last.
[21:35] <jhutchins> fartbandit: some of them don't care.
