Welcome to #kubuntu! [01:06] <netshark> i didn`t use linux for ages [01:06] <netshark> what does backports means ? [01:07] <daskReech> netshark: It means the package is from kubuntu+1 but made available for kubuntu [01:07] <netshark> umm didnt get it :p [01:08] <daskReech> netshark: you know kubuntu+1 ? [01:08] <netshark> do you mean like they took it from the old KDE and made modification to run on the KDE 4 ? [01:08] <daskReech> netshark: ha ha No :) [01:08] <netshark> no i don`t know kubuntu+1 :/ [01:08] <daskReech> there are versions of Kubuntu [01:09] <daskReech> Like Gutsy feisty hardy [01:09] <netshark> is it the old kubuntu or the new ? [01:09] <daskReech> or if you prefer 7.10 7.0 4 8.04 [01:09] <daskReech> 7.04 [01:09] <netshark> who is Gusty feisty hardy lol :p [01:09] <netshark> i wanna use ubuntu but there`s lots of ubuntus around dunno which one should i get :/ [01:10] <netshark> thats why i`m still on Mandriva :/ [01:10] <daskReech> netshark: When you say there are lots of Ubuntus what do you mean? [01:11] <daskReech> what is confusing you? [01:11] <netshark> which ubuntu to get :/ [01:12] <Xbehave> netshark: are you on an old computer [01:12] <netshark> there`s Ubuntu Kubuntu Xubuntu Eubuntu [01:12] <daskReech> netshark: as in ubuntu or Kubuntu etc ? [01:12] <netshark> not too old [01:12] <netshark> P4 3.06 HT [01:12] <daskReech> netshark: Well Edubuntu is for education. Are you teaching or in a learning environment ? [01:12] <Xbehave> netshark: would you prefer a simple interface or one with options [01:12] <netshark> intel Motherboard [01:12] <netshark> Geforce FX5600 [01:13] <netshark> no then the E is not for me [01:13] <daskReech> netshark: the rest are just different frontends [01:13] <kuroryuu> netshark: ubuntu if you like Gnome, kubuntu if you like KDE [01:13] <daskReech> Which ever one you like better [01:13] <daskReech> Gnome XFCE or KDE [01:14] <netshark> so i must get either Kubuntu to get the KDE desktop or the ubuntu if i wanna the GNOME [01:14] <netshark> KDE all the way man :p [01:14] <daskReech> netshark: Right [01:14] <daskReech> Then Welcome!!! [01:14] * daskReech hugs netshark [01:14] <Xbehave> yeah thats more than new enough for kubuntu or ubuntu? both gnome and kde are good interfaces, you can switch after a while, if you like options go with kde tho [01:14] * netshark high five :) [01:15] <daskReech> hi five! [01:15] <netshark> ok kubuntu+1 what is this ? [01:15] <netshark> which one got KDE4 ? [01:15] <netshark> i am still on KDE 3.5.9 [01:15] <daskReech> netshark: For mandriva you have 2006 2007 2008 Right ? [01:16] <netshark> didn`t try the KDE4 yet [01:16] <kuroryuu> netshark: you can get kde4 on any of them [01:16] <netshark> am on the latest distro [01:16] <netshark> Spring 2008 PowerPack [01:16] <netshark> got it from mininova lol :p [01:17] <Xbehave> kubuntu+1 will make computers explode atm probably best not to use it, kde4 isnt quite ready yet, but you can use it with kde3 apps [01:17] <daskReech> netshark: right so the next version of Mandriva to come out we would call mandriva+1 [01:19] <netshark> aha [01:19] <netshark> +1 men the latest one [01:19] <netshark> just came out :) [01:19] <daskReech> netshark: no no means newer than the latest one [01:19] <Xbehave> no +1 is the one due out in 6 months [01:19] <daskReech> so mandriva+1 would be mandriva 2009 [01:19] <netshark> like the RC1 - RC2 [01:20] <netshark> sort of [01:20] <daskReech> netshark: Whenever. it's just the one that they are working on now for the future [01:20] <daskReech> netshark: So if they do a package there and then make it available for you to download now. That's a backport [01:20] <netshark> aha but it is still beta right ? [01:20] <enterusername> well 'EnterUserName hits the easy button." I sucessfully installed ffmpeg with all codecs :) with compiling. [01:20] <basy> hi whitch package i have to instal when i need to use fork(); command in my C++ application, plz? [01:21] <Xbehave> nope +1 isnt even alpha yet [01:21] <kuroryuu> have they decided what they're calling the next ubuntu version yet? [01:21] <daskReech> netshark: The overall thing? yes [01:21] <netshark> oh so that means use it then report to us right :1 i`ll test it for them right ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:22] <netshark> yeah he :p [01:23] <netshark> oh got it now :) [01:24] <netshark> so i must enable the backports because its a good thing but when something crash i report it then uninstall it immediately and get a stable not backport version :) [01:24] <daskReech> netshark: good man! [01:24] <netshark> man KDE4 owens MAC BIG TIME [01:24] <netshark> i`ve tested the MAC OSX 10.4 the Tiger distro [01:25] <netshark> it sucks big time its boring :( [01:25] <daskReech> So stable not crashing. Lots of options [01:25] <daskReech> I'd hate it too :) [01:25] <netshark> they say Leopard is better but nothing compares to Linux :) [01:25] <Xbehave> netshark: no backports is mainly for critical fixes, [01:25] <netshark> LINUX RULES !!! :) [01:25] <Xbehave> theres propose repository for untested software but even that is fairly stable [01:26] <netshark> Xbehave: like the auto updates in winsucks (windows) ?

[02:06] <daskReech> hey [02:07] <eric> hey everyone - new to ubuntu this weekend - trying to figure out why im unable to move files into the File System folders [02:07] <epimeth> what up? [02:07] <epimeth> eric: where are you trying to copy them to, exactly [02:07] <epimeth> ? [02:08] <eric> epimeth: for example, wallpapers to the /usr/share/backgrounds or /theme folders [02:09] <epimeth> eric: you might not have permission to write to those folders [02:10] <daskReech> eric: You need to be root to write in there [02:10] <epimeth> eric: the filesystem is permission based, meaning that each folder has an owner part, a group part, and an "all users" part [02:10] <farchord> eric use sudo [02:10] <epimeth> each set of permissions has read, read, and execute [02:11] <farchord> *read, write and execute [02:11] <epimeth> so while you, as an "all users" user might have permission to read, and execute within certain folders, you might not have write permissions [02:11] <epimeth> yes, thanks daskReech [02:11] <epimeth> erm, farchord [02:11] <farchord> lol [02:12] <epimeth> so yes, you will probably want to use sudo... but you might just want to set write permission for that folder as it doesn't seem like those folders are that important [02:13] <farchord> epimeth: might be good to mention too, for wallpapers and themes, I do think you can sit it somewhere on your home dir, just not too sure on the specifics [02:14] <Jucato> epimeth: it's not a good idea to change permissions for system folders [02:14] <epimeth> Jucato: well I was waiting for him to reply before I gave him that warning [02:15] <epimeth> but seriously... the *background* folder? [02:15] <eric> sorry - thanks everyone, just been trying to get write permissions [02:16] <epimeth> eric: don't do that... just use sudo. like Jucato said, its bad to get into the habbit of changing permissions to system folders [02:16] <farchord> eric: Changing permissions on system folders, in a simple comparison, is like building a big sign on your computer saying "Please attack me" [02:17] <Jucato> eric: you shouldn't be doing anything in system folders anyway unless you want them to apply to any and all users. if you just want to add a wallpaper for yourself, you can do that safely in your own home directory [02:17] <Dr_willis> I always have my own /home/username/WallPaperAndIcons Directory. [02:17] <eric> ok thanks [02:17] <farchord> np [02:19] <epimeth> nw [02:19] <farchord> Man I <3 last.fm [02:19] <epimeth> anyhoo.. I gotta run boys. catch you later [02:20] <farchord> cy@ [02:25] <Agent_bob> what's the avarage runtime on laptop batteries ? [02:26] <daskReech> Agent_bob: that's a non question [02:26] <daskReech> Too many varaibles [02:26] <daskReech> lets say under 5 hours :) [02:26] <daskReech> hopefully over 20 minutes [02:26] <farchord> don't know the actual numbers, and it depends on your activity, but considering you use in avg less CPU cycles than in Windows, I would guess it lasts longuer [02:27] <Agent_bob> daskReech avarage kinda takes in the variables doesn't it ? [02:27] <daskReech> Agent_bob: nuh uh [02:27] <daskReech> there are variance on the variables which gives a statisical spread average [02:28] <daskReech> Agent_bob: The simple one line answer is 2 hours [02:28] <Agent_bob> daskReech thankyou. [02:29] <Dr_willis> I would be lucky to get a full 2 hrs on any laptop ive ever had. [02:30] <Agent_bob> Dr_willis hmmm then i think i'm ok with a first test of 1:50 without low battery warning ? [02:30] <daskReech> Dr_willis: I know [02:30] <Dr_willis> 2 min warning? That would be cutting it close. :) id set it for at least 5 to 10 min warning.

[02:41] <Jucato> depends on what is required by the source you are compiling [02:41] <Jucato> it may need some other build system. you will have to find out for yourself (see the link given by Agent_bob for tips) [02:42] <Agent_bob> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [02:42] <farchord> nflava: normally a good essential, do sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:42] <artur_> how can i open a .mht file in the firefox?

Alt+F2, "dcop kicker kicker restart" [02:46] <Alethes> okl [02:46] <tehcactus> Agent_bob: thanks [02:46] <Alethes> let me give it a shot [02:46] <tehcactus> Agent_bob: will try that now [02:46] <Alethes> Jucato: there it is :) [02:48] <Alethes> heh [02:48] <Alethes> I themed my kde 3.59 to look as much like kde4 as possible [02:48] <Alethes> not because it was a worthwhile thing to do, but because I can :D [02:49] <Jucato> :D [02:49] <daskReech> That's like themeing Xp to look like Vista :) [02:49] <daskReech> ... a lot like it actually :) [02:49] <Alethes> http://www.lunt.ca/kde4-3.png [02:49] <Alethes> it's an old version of oxygen, but still [02:50] <Agent_bob> daskReech i made vesta look like win 3.1 does that count ? [02:50] <tehcactus> Agent_bob: that worked, but when I ran startx before changing to vesa, it said unable to load NVIDIA module, any ideas? [02:50] <Alethes> obviously not the exact same thing, but it's kinda cool anyway [02:50] <farchord> Alethes: not bad.... I'm sticking with KDE3 here [02:51] <daskReech> Agent_bob: no. That's impressive but also quite sad [02:51] <Alethes> hehe [02:51] <Alethes> I'm planning to upgrade to 4.1 when it's available [02:51] <Agent_bob> tehcactus no. sorry, you'll have to get someone else to help with the nvidia driver i tried to install a driver for my nv card so i could learn about it. i only learned that my card is not supported. [02:52] <Agent_bob> daskReech not impossable. win 3.1 hit the trash can many years ago. now vesta looks just like it... in the bottom of the trash can... :) [02:53] <Alethes> my wife has vista and loves it [02:53] <Alethes> I can't seem to convince her to switch to linux :/ [02:53] <tehcactus> Agent_bob: thanks for getting me this far [02:55] <daskReech> Agent_bob: ha ha you should empty your trash [02:56] <nflava> is there one of those sudo commands to install pkg-config?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [03:29] <nflava> says its running then reusing exsisting ksycoca [03:29] <Agent_bob> anyway the output is unimportant. it should have updated your kmenu [03:30] <nflava> menu seems the same [03:31] <Agent_bob> nflava i thought it would. but it might have needed updated. who knnws. anyway right click the kmenu and configure it show all [03:32] <Agent_bob> the kmenu button has a very small ^ in the corner you can use for that iirc [03:33] <nflava> ok i see debian in the menu editor === nathan__ is now known as MHz128 [03:33] <nflava> so now i need to show all [03:33] <Agent_bob> or show debian [03:34] <Agent_bob> :) [03:34] <Agent_bob> it shows all [03:35] <Agent_bob> one reason i like that submenu it's de independant. same on gnome as it is in kde or blackbox [03:36] <Agent_bob> if you have several desktops installed in your system you can have a universal menu for them [03:36] <nflava> hmm still didnt get it to show debian in the kmenu, still looking [03:37] * Agent_bob <blinks> <hides> "oops" </hides> </blinks> [03:37] <nflava> heh im great in windows but this kubuntu can really show you who the boss is lol [03:38] <Agent_bob> nflava lol i'm the opsite. can't force windows to do anything i want it to do... [03:39] <nflava> ok so hmm [03:39] <nflava> i can now see debian, i had to add a submenu to it [03:40] <nflava> so i made one called ushare but how do i find out where that installed to when i did the apt-get install [03:40] <o0Chris0o> where do I find my .asoundr ? I can't seem to locate it [03:40] <linuxlover> hello room [03:40] <Agent_bob> nflava ? sudo update-menus [03:41] <Agent_bob> see if that adds all apps to the debian sub [03:41] <nflava> nope, still just the ushare i made [03:41] <nflava> that doesnt do anything when i click on it lol [03:41] <nflava> i guess cause i dont know where the work parh is [03:41] <Agent_bob> that's not right. what's broke there ? [03:42] <nflava> its a fresh install, just did it last night [03:42] <Agent_bob> nflava the working path will probably be /usr/bin/ [03:42] <linuxlover> i have 3 pcs. (2desktops + 1 laptop), i want to go wireless connection between them. what hardwares should i need? i am a newbie in networking world [03:43] <Agent_bob> but you should NOT need to manually add to the debian menu. that's not normal... [03:43] <nflava> uh o [03:43] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: you'll need 2 usb or pci wireless adapters, and a wireless router. [03:43] <nflava> i guess ill just remove what i made for now [03:44] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: You'll also need a 6-pack of your local nerd's favorite beer, as bait. [03:44] <nflava> hmmm something might be going on now... [03:45] <nflava> after i loaded the command and the work path for ushare from the usr/bin folder [03:45] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: Lure him over with the promise of free beer, then show him the hardware. No true nerd can resist setting up a home network. [03:45] <nflava> and saved....well never mind, i thought something was going to start but it didnt [03:46] <linuxlover> :-) [03:46] <nflava> i need to reboot for this update i did a little bit ago [03:46] <Agent_bob> nflava you can start the app from the command line for now to see if it has a gui i personally know nothing about ushare [03:46] <nflava> maybe that will help my situation === bill_ is now known as bill__ [03:47] <Agent_bob> !tab [03:47] <nflava> and just start it by navagating to the usr/bin folder? [03:47] <ubottu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:47] <el1te> i got a couple questions about kubuntu 8.04 remix and an nforce2 mb with soundstorm alc650 i think it is [03:47] <Agent_bob> could but i'd use a konsole so you can see any text output [03:47] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: should i connect my broadband with that router using cable? [03:48] <linuxlover> or to change my broadband modem also? [03:48] <nflava> yeah i meant to say in the console, i guess navagate was no tthe best word to use heh [03:48] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: Yes. The cable coming out of your dsl/cable modem should feed into the WAN (or Internet) port on the wireless router. [03:48] <el1te> i have 2 computers 1 (my windows gaming computer) scard stereo goes to my #2 linux box line-in jack...i then have optical out goto my home theatre [03:48] <Agent_bob> konsole != console and gnome's "console" != console either. [03:48] <el1te> how do i turn on the line in and optical out [03:48] <_CrashMaster_> Agent_bob: Really? Please elaborate. [03:49] <el1te> so when i play music/games it goes from my windows pc to the linux box to the home theatre optical in === rita is now known as rita_ [03:49] <nflava> hm, how do i go back a directory, not cd .. like dos [03:49] <_CrashMaster_> Agent_bob: Or are you nitpicking "shell" vs "console" [03:49] <el1te> i got a more important problem then trying to "CD" into a dir [03:49] <el1te> come on [03:50] <_CrashMaster_> nflava: You have to put a space betwee "cd" and ".." [03:50] <nflava> damn i thought i did that [03:50] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: in this way, may i switch on any one of my computers and use internet keeping the other two machines switch off? [03:50] <nflava> my bad [03:50] <Agent_bob> gnome's "console" and konsole are terminal emulators for the x-window environment the console is the tty thingys found at "alt+ctrl+f1" through "alt+ctrl+f7" 7 normally hosting the x server [03:50] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: yes. [03:50] <Agent_bob> _CrashMaster_ ^ [03:51] <Agent_bob> s/hosting/running/ [03:51] <_CrashMaster_> Agent_bob: nifty! [03:51] <nflava> be right back [03:52] <Agent_bob> nflava yes cd .. is up one dir [03:52] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: which product should I buy? http://www.dlink.co.in/products/Product_temp.aspx?id=4,287 or http://www.dlink.co.in/products/Product_temp.aspx?id=4,356 [03:53] <alucardromero> Anybody know the solution to the KDE/laptop/screensaver/brightness issue? [03:53] <Agent_bob> cd / is the root dir cd or cd ~ or cd $HOME all take you to your home dir [03:53] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: Either will work, but the first one is niftier [03:54] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: But get a USB one, unless you dont mind taking your PC apart. [03:56] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: may you please give me for the product link of that usb adapter (D-Link manufactured) and also the router? [03:56] <nflava> ok back....what an amazing reboot, everything i was using came right back on the desktop :) [03:56] * Agent_bob feels like trolling channel #ubuntu and saying >>>why does the "console" button in the menu not take me to a console ? it only opens a terminal emulator.<<< but probably wont. [03:56] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: I guess so. Normally I'd say do the research yourself, but I'm bored so why not. Why do you want DLINK products? [03:57] <nflava> and now there is apparently a graphic card driver problem === kewark is now known as krawek [03:57] <_CrashMaster_> Agent_bob: Is there any advantage to using the "true" console instead of an emulator? [03:57] <linuxlover> because it is easily available in our small local market [03:57] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: Ah. ok. Give me a few moments. [03:57] <_CrashMaster_> 2 desktops and 1 laptop, right? [03:57] <linuxlover> CrashMaster:ok..... Yes, but the laptop has a inbuild wireless card [03:58] <_CrashMaster_> ok [03:58] <Agent_bob> _CrashMaster_ they are not == so yes and no. both have their place. i haven't started xorg today personally so all i've seen is consoles... [03:58] <_CrashMaster_> Agent_bob: I see. Do you have some recommended reading on the subject? [03:59] <Agent_bob> nothing in particular. but there are plenty of pages that google can find [03:59] <Agent_bob> !cli | _CrashMaster_ [03:59] <ubottu> _CrashMaster_: 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 [04:01] <MHz128> Does the emerald-theme package require a special repo? [04:01] <MHz128> I can't find it anywhere [04:01] <nflava> hmm with the reboot, seems there is a problem with my nvidia drivers [04:02] <Agent_bob> _CrashMaster_ there are a few things that it's much easer to do in a gui like photo/vidio editing for example, but short of that, i have not found anything that i "couldn't do" in a console. and that includes watching movies. but i'm OT so i'll move on. [04:03] <Agent_bob> nflava you may have to reinstall the driver for the particular kernel version i don't like propritary drivers... [04:04] <_CrashMaster_> This is wierd. [04:04] <_CrashMaster_> I can't find any wireless + wired routers on D-Link's india site. [04:05] <Agent_bob> that is wierd [04:05] <fulat2k> hi folks, is it possible to specify a "sync" flag when mounting USB devices? [04:05] <Agent_bob> fulat2k yes [04:06] <fulat2k> Agent_bob: any command/text file i should know of? :) [04:06] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: i need 2 nos. of that product for my 2 desktops? right?...... and the router? may you please help me to find the router? [04:06] <nflava> heh i think the reinstalling of drivers will have to wait till tomrrow [04:06] <nflava> time for bed [04:07] <Agent_bob> fulat2k if you mount a usb drive via UUID= in the fstab you can add sync,ro,'and friends' to the options portion of the line. man fstab should help with specifics [04:07] <nflava> will you be online tomorrow too Agent_bob? [04:07] <_CrashMaster_> linuxlover: Yes to the first question. And Im still trying to find the appropriate product for the router. I can find it on the US site, but im having trouble on the India site. [04:07] <Agent_bob> fulat2k otherwise if you mount manually you can use the -o switch in the mount command to add the options you want [04:08] <Agent_bob> man mount has the specifics on that [04:08] <Agent_bob> nflava i have no idea yet. but someone will be here that can help you.

[04:10] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: No problem, you please take your own time [04:12] <Agent_bob> nflava right ? [04:14] <Agent_bob> chalcedony in an xserver that will work [04:16] <Agent_bob> chalcedony showimg ? [04:16] <fulat2k> Agent_bob: what about those random usb devices via auto mount? [04:17] <Agent_bob> fulat2k for that you would have to change the default for automount and i dont know where that is. [04:17] <Agent_bob> someone else might ? [04:17] <Agent_bob> Jucato_ ? [04:18] <fulat2k> Agent_bob: hmm.. alrity. lemme have a look then. thx [04:18] <Agent_bob> fulat2k welcome [04:19] <Agent_bob> fulat2k jsut a thought, but "eject" is a handy command for umounting things [04:21] <Agent_bob> this can't be right http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=db524da6 [04:21] <morphius> everytime my system loads, it loads the friendly-recovery menu, but this causes my system to hang, so certain services are not starting up (dhcp, etc). How can I turn this off. [04:23] <Agent_bob> time seems to be running way too fast Uptime: 18 days 22 hours 23 mins 04 sec [04:25] <Agent_bob> bah a bogus "uptime" command in /usr/local/bin/ ;/ i wonder when i did that... this looks more like it. 22:24:34 up 2:07, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [04:27] <linuxlover> CrashMaster: Thank you very much for your help to me.

[04:34] <daskReech> CPrgmSwR2: that would need a nightly build of KDE [04:34] <Agent_bob> !jar [04:34] <ubottu> Factoid jar not found [04:34] <daskReech> since it depends on KDE 4.1 [04:34] <CPrgmSwR2> Oh [04:34] <daskReech> so you'd need a fairly up to date KDE 4.1 [04:35] <CPrgmSwR2> Yeah, I just quite tring to live on the bleeding edge, because it takes up alot of time [04:36] <daskReech> CPrgmSwR2: Yeah it's also kind awhy we don't have nightly builds [04:36] <daskReech> CPrgmSwR2: we are trying to aim for a weekly build [04:36] <Agent_bob> is there no way to pipe the output of cat << EOF inside a script ? [04:36] <daskReech> that's a little more manageable [04:36] <Agent_bob> wait i know how. [04:36] <CPrgmSwR2> I am just courious if koffice2 is going to have any killer features over openoffice [04:37] <_CrashMaster_> No word on how to run this .jar file eh? [04:37] <_CrashMaster_> TO GOOGLE!

[05:03] <Agent_bob> or is it a hard reset ? [05:03] <hawkeyex> no, it reboots itself [05:04] <Agent_bob> yes but does it shutdown propperly or instant reset ? [05:05] <hawkeyex> instant reset [05:06] <Agent_bob> that could be a memory leak ? [05:06] <hawkeyex> i don't know [05:06] <hawkeyex> what's the best way to find out? [05:09] <NickPresta> hawkeyex, eliminate any sort of outside variables. don't start any applications when you first boot the system. don't login. wait and see if it resets. then login, but don't start anything. wait for the reset. narrow down the causes [05:09] <hawkeyex> ok [05:09] <hawkeyex> i will try that.

[09:12] <max__> yes [09:12] <Agent_bob> max__ and this is an embeded system ? [09:12] <max__> yes [09:12] <Agent_bob> what kernel ? [09:13] <max__> but I think is the scsi driver... when I use make menuconfig and I put some options.... [09:13] <max__> 2.6.6 [09:15] <Agent_bob> yeah it could be a driver issue. i.e. if the driver is "hosed" and you copy the file to the "disk" it may not actually be reaching the disk. have you dismounted the device and checked it from another system to see if the file is actually on disk ? [09:15] <max__> now I'm rebuilding the kernel with new config parameters === wayne is now known as wayneandleanne [09:16] <max__> Agent, I can't see that device scsi with another system...

[09:17] * Agent_bob says "well don't that just cock your dang pistol" [09:19] <Agent_bob> max__ here's another way to check that ^ you can reboot the embeded system and see if the file remained on the scsi device over a reboot. that should prove that it's not in ram only. [09:19] <max__> yes of course, I check now [09:21] <max__> is an extern scsi raid disk [09:21] <Agent_bob> i.e. if the file is there. then your first assessment of the situation is correct it's writting both to ram and disk. if the file is not there then the "faulty driver" assessment would be correct. and the file was never actually making it to disk only to ram. [09:22] <max__> Agent, all the file are in the disk when I reboot the kernel [09:22] <max__> I see all file [09:25] <Agent_bob> ok. oe more test might be in order. but i'm not sure you want ot play in this sand box. you can copy enough data to over fill the ram to see if it is actually writing to ram or just caching as it writes to the disk. if you can copy more data to the disk than will all fit in ram, without it crashing something or invoking OOMK then your panic is over nothing. [09:25] <Agent_bob> s/ot/to/ [09:27] <song> linux下访问vss有没有简单的方法 [09:27] <max__> yes Agent, I have tried that... but the ram was fill..... [09:27] <max__> and never happen [09:27] <Agent_bob> you are building your own kernel there correct? [09:27] <max__> yes [09:28] <max__> I change some option in the scsi device [09:28] <Agent_bob> make sure you have OOMK set to "1" or "last" [09:28] <max__> but I didn't change other kernel file [09:29] <max__> OOMK???? what do you mean? [09:29] <Agent_bob> OOMK= out of memory kill it's a kernel option [09:29] <max__> ah ok ok [09:30] <Agent_bob> one option for OOMK is "smart" i don't reccomend "smart" because in my openion it's really "dumb" and behaves badly [09:32] <Agent_bob> side note on that. anyone that want's to see how dumb smart oomk is. just set off a fork bomb on a system that is set to smart, and watch everything but the fork bomb die... [09:32] <max__> I have recompiled the kernel with some option in the scsi (I have eliminate log and other things) but the problem is still here [09:32] <max__> I think is the scsi device driver.... === Greenery__ is now known as Greenery [09:33] <max__> that copy some log into memory [09:33] <Agent_bob> max__ you might want to ask in #kernel they can tell you much more about that than i can.

What does sudo do? [09:40] <Mind_Learning> Wot is it for? [09:41] <firecrotch> Mind_Learning: sudo is used to run commands with "root" privileges, as if you were logged in as "root" [09:41] <Agent_bob> super user do [09:42] <dwidmann> Wow ... kde4's system monitor is really nice ..... http://www.xnowherex.com/images/drive_activity.png http://www.xnowherex.com/images/cpu_activity.png http://www.xnowherex.com/images/net_activity.png [09:42] <Mind_Learning> Killer DUDE!~ thanks... what went with SU? [09:42] <Agent_bob> su requires a root password the "official" ubuntu stance on that is "never set a root password" [09:43] <dwidmann> !sudo [09:43] <ubottu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:43] <Mind_Learning> Nice.. thanks [09:43] <Mind_Learning> I'll do [09:43] <Mind_Learning> read read read :) [09:45] <Agent_bob> my "non-ubuntu" thought on the matter is that a secure root password is better than a weak root jr. account. but some disagree. [09:46] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: probably more secure, but less convenient? [09:47] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: then again, there are probably perks to having the root account locked. [09:47] <Agent_bob> perks ? heh :) [09:49] <Agent_bob> well the majority of ubuntu users drop by freenode #ubuutu logged into irc as their root jr. user so the name is not guesswork all that remains to be cracked is their password, and password is not a strong password but it beats a good lot of them. name=name & password=name [09:50] <Agent_bob> then they run a vnc server just to make things inviting. [09:51] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: but on the bright side, at least silly people aren't logged in as root itself. [09:51] <Agent_bob> many are. [09:51] <dwidmann> sad [09:52] <Agent_bob> or as ubuntu on the liveCD which is root jr. with null password. [09:53] <dwidmann> My thoughts on the matter are keep the root jr. account to get the small benefits of not logging in as root, and remove my main user from the admin group. [09:55] <Agent_bob> my prefered security patern is setup init to support one root login on a locked root acount and the whole system mounted "nosuid" [09:55] <firecrotch> I've always thought that with sudo, it should be a separate password from the account login password to use sudo [09:55] <Agent_bob> with that setup you only access root from hands on locally [09:56] <Agent_bob> firecrotch that would be more like a root password [09:57] <firecrotch> Agent_bob: Not quite. Having a root password, you could just log in as root. Crack one password. My way, you'd have to basically crack the user password and their sudo password [09:57] <firecrotch> Along with first figuring out the name of the regular user [09:57] <dwidmann> I agree. [09:58] <dwidmann> that would be nice [09:58] <Agent_bob> firecrotch the name is most of the time a given tho [09:58] <dwidmann> Best of both worlds [09:58] <Pennycook> firecrotch: Your user account's password should be secure enough anyway. [09:58] <Agent_bob> and reomote attempts would go streight to sudo and not worry about the user if there was a master sudo password [09:59] <Pennycook> Plus, there would have to be some sort of override because the majority of people can't remember passwords. How do you change your sudo password when you've forgotten it? [09:59] <dwidmann> Pennycook: the (k)(x)ubuntu installer, last I checked, allows you to use very insecure passwords without even so much as a warning (at least with the alternate installer, unsure about live), that passwd won't even let you do unless you first expire the password. [09:59] <firecrotch> Pennycook: Same way you get into your system when you forget your user password, recovery mode [10:00] <Agent_bob> dwidmann last i checked one char will suffice [10:00] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: pull up a shell and do it right now [10:00] <Agent_bob> dwidmann ? do what ? install ? [10:01] <firecrotch> This conversation reminds me.... I need to check the auth logs on my server [10:01] <Pennycook> dwidmann: It's one of those annoyances you can't escape. If Ubuntu made it so your password had to follow a certain number of rules, the majority of people will get frustrated that they can't have the password that they want. [10:01] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: no, I meant change your passwd with passwd and try to enter one character, or even something long that's simple, your username, etc, dumb things. [10:02] <dwidmann> Pennycook: I can sympathize with that, my regular user passwd is intentionall weak. [10:02] <Agent_bob> dwidmann i can do passwd -d [10:02] <Agent_bob> like duh [10:03] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: sure, but the point is unless you're forcing it you're at least being told not to do it. [10:04] <Agent_bob> error: no i2c device files found. use prov/mkdev/mkdev.sh to creat them. <<<< ? [10:05] <Pennycook> dwidmann: Is SSH enabled by default? If it's not, then maybe there's no restriction on the initial password because it's assumed it'll only be used locally? [10:05] <Agent_bob> dwidmann not here. for an example you can understand sudo passwd -d $USER [10:06] <Agent_bob> Pennycook no. sshd is not even installed by default iirc [10:06] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: yeah ..... but I was referring more to changing, not first deleting then setting [10:06] <Agent_bob> that only deletes it dwidmann making it a passwordless avvount [10:06] <dwidmann> try to change it to silly things like blah, password, $USER, etc .... [10:06] <Agent_bob> account [10:07] <dwidmann> readas: making it a large, gaping,, potential security hole [10:07] <Agent_bob> Retype new UNIX password: [10:07] <Agent_bob> passwd: password updated successfully [10:07] <Agent_bob> set to "x" [10:08] <dwidmann> Agent_bob: without first deleting it, see what it says when you try to set it to 'x' [10:08] * firecrotch looks at auth.log on server.... Heh, I love having root disabled... no worries about the moron who keeps trying to bruteforce the root account [10:08] <Agent_bob> Retype new UNIX password: [10:08] <Agent_bob> passwd: password updated successfully [10:08] <MDCore> hey all. I've set up a dual monitor config through the GUI, but now every minute or so the machine locks up (no mouse/keyboard except capslock) for about 5 seconds.

[11:19] <Tm_T> Ronald__: no problems [11:20] <Ronald__> Just being lazy.. and/or was not aware of such a system.... [11:20] <Ronald__> I last used irc to any extent some 15 years ago - or thereabouts... [11:20] <Ronald__> at least before there was the www... heheh [11:21] <Tm_T> !tab [11:21] <ubottu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:21] <Malique> OK, it looks like I can set up some sort of a filter to pass an option to ghostscript when printing to convert it to greyscale, does that sound right? Is that the only way to get programs to print in greyscale? [11:21] <Pandemic> Hello, guys, tell me , what do I have to use to get rdp to winNT [11:21] <Tm_T> Pandemic: krdfc or something? [11:21] <Ronald__> Tm_T: hehe even works in chatzilla [11:21] <Tm_T> it does [11:22] <Ronald__> Tm_T: cool... [11:22] <Tm_T> Ronald__: some of us are in over 50 channels, so we cannot notice everything ;) [11:22] <Ronald__> Tm_T: so if I am not mistaken - the chances of buying just any old cheap sup-wlan stick and it working out of the box is a bit slim... [11:23] <Ronald__> Tm_T: I get the point... [11:23] <Ronald__> e e usb w-lan stick... i mean... [11:23] <Schorfi> Ronald__: i have an, ~2-year-old zyxel g-220, and wlan works out of the box for me [11:23] <Tm_T> Ronald__: its all about selecting right chip [11:24] <Ronald__> Schorfi: I am in Germany and there don't seem to be any Zyxel stuff on the market here these days... [11:24] <Ronald__> Tm_T: but I get the point about the chip... [11:24] <Malique> Tm_T: happen to know anything about how to make stuff print in greyscale? [11:24] <Schorfi> Ronald__: I am too, and i got mine from Arcor :) [11:25] <Tm_T> Malique: have you checked your printer settings? [11:25] <Agent_bob> is the atheros on a card or on the main board in a toshiba ? [11:26] <Agent_bob> anyone know off hand? [11:26] <Ronald__> Schorfi: I suppose at the store they might even give me a sencible answer if I wave the euros in thier noses and say - hey pal this is yours if u can guarantee kubuntu support etc hehehe [11:26] <SlimeyPete> Agent_bob: in my toshiba it's on a mini-pci card. [11:26] <Malique> Tm_T: I've sifted through my printer settings for hours, I can't find anything on printing in greyscale. If I go to Configure in the printer settings, under Color Model (the closest i could find) it only has RGB [11:26] <Agent_bob> SlimeyPete k. i'll go fishing then hopping to remove it. [11:27] <Tm_T> Malique: no idea, I don't have printers myself [11:27] <Schorfi> as already said - it all depends on the chipset. afaik, the g220 uses a 'zd1211' chipset and it works fine, as the drivers are in the kernel [11:27] <SlimeyPete> Agent_bob: there's a panel on the bottom of mine which gives easy access. It's towards the front. [11:27] <Schorfi> (i think) [11:27] <max__> when I write in my disk scsi a large file after the command "cat /proc/meminfo" display me a lot of Cached memory.... Cached 700000 700MB in Cached, how I can resize this buffers? [11:27] <Agent_bob> SlimeyPete yeah looking at that now looks promicing [11:28] <Malique> Tm_T: Fair enough. Bloody printers :@ know anyone who might be able to help me? [11:28] <Ronald__> Schorfi: I see pms for you are blocked or...? [11:29] <Agent_bob> anyone know command to control fan speed ? [11:29] <Ronald__> Schorfi: if the wlan thing is too much of a hassle - for a start I will prolly just run a bit of cable - that normally will detect a router automatically or..? [11:30] <Ronald__> Agent_bob: we used to do stuff like that with chewing gum a bit back heheh [11:30] <Schorfi> Ronald__: yes, there shouldn't be any problems with a wired connection [11:31] <Ronald__> Schorfi: I cant wait to get my hands on this new pc .. do you know the firm hd-computer in Berlin - they have a cool configurator sales thing - [11:31] <Malique> Ronald__: Have you tried using ndiswrapper? Helped me get my wlan up and running on my new laptop [11:31] <Ronald__> Schorfi: the pretty basic box I am after comes out at about 200€ (no paid OS of course...)

I am just trying to get informed up front - will be buying the (2nd) pc next month... [11:32] <Schorfi> Ronald__: no, i don't know them ... but sounds good, just right to try kubuntu :) [11:32] <Malique> Ronald__: Fair enough :) [11:33] <Ronald__> Schorfi: I have fugged my xp/vista at least 4 times trying to install a tri-boot xp-vis-kubu... just dont work... [11:33] <Ronald__> Malique - on the other hand I c a n run the live cd to try stuff out.. hehe [11:34] <Ronald__> Malique - but that is a bit of a bummer when you wanna right stuff to disk and save etc... the answer is the 2nd pc - which I need for other reasons also... [11:34] <Schorfi> Ronald__: ok, it's better to stay on the safe side then, with a new pc [11:35] <Ronald__> Schorfi: right - thank Jeezus for Images.. heheh [11:35] <Malique> Ronald__: That might work ;) at least it'll tell you if it runs OOB. I think there's a way to get the Live CD to save stuff to USB when it loads up, like /home I think, but not sure how to set that up [11:36] <Ronald__> Malique: not worth the bother just now I guess.. in 2 - 3 weeks should have the new system...

I've installed alsa-base and alsa-oss but I'm still not able to have any sound. Can someone please help me out ? [11:51] * AntSmash is also having problems with sound :) [11:51] <jussi01> frojnd: probably the wrong place to ask - try #fluxbuntu maybe [11:52] <frojnd> jussi01: no this is the right place :) [11:53] <frojnd> fluxboy by package fluxbox doesn't bring any sound drivers...

[12:01] <linuxlover> hello room, i am anindya from india [12:05] <linuxlover> i have 2 desktop pcs and 1 laptop..... i want to make my small LAN with these three pcs. for this purpose, i am going to purchase this following router http://www.dlink.com.au/Products.aspx?Sec=1&Sub1=2&Sub2=5&PID=337 if anybody please comment over my choise (i am a damn newbie in networking, so please help me) [12:08] <dwidmann> linuxlover: don't forget to get yourself some cable too ... cat5e or cat6 will do nicely. [12:14] <linuxlover> dwidmann: i want to connect the main desktop pc (kubuntu) with wire. the other desktop and the laptop will be connected wireless and i am going to use usb network adapter http://www.dlink.co.in/products/Product_temp.aspx?id=4,355 , please take a look and reply me [12:15] <linuxlover> dwidmann: the laptop is wireless enabled. these two pcs, uses windowz as the os [12:15] <dwidmann> linuxlover: why connect the other desktop wireless? Keep in mind that wired transfers are 4.5x faster than wireless G's max [12:17] <linuxlover> then...... you are advising me for staying wired connection [12:17] <dwidmann> linuxlover: with the exception of the laptop, yes. (though, keeping cable around for plugging the laptop in in the event you need to do backup and such wouldn't be a bad idea) [12:18] <RuyalarPrensi> !turkish [12:18] <ubottu> Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [12:18] <linuxlover> dwidmann: means, you are in support of connecting two desktops with wire and the laptop wireless [12:19] <dwidmann> right [12:19] <linuxlover> ok.... then i only need that router only.... am i right? [12:20] <dwidmann> right. [12:21] <linuxlover> may you please confirm whether the router can serve from ADSL broadband connection? because i use BSNL Broadband (it is an ADSL Broadband) in India [12:23] <dwidmann> How does your ADSL modem connect to your computer(s)? ethernet, usb, serial? [12:23] <linuxlover> ethernet card [12:23] <Dr_willis> asdl can connect via serial? never seen that befor. :) [12:24] <SlimeyPete> doesn't serial top out at 115kbps? ;) [12:24] <frojnd> please someone. My kernel modul for sound is loaded. How do I know? Ive tryed lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0 and the output is http://pastebin.ca/1022640 i've installed alsa-base and alsa-oss but I still can't hear any sound from headphones. (headphones are working - double cheked) Any ideas why I can't get any sound ? [12:24] <Dr_willis> SlimeyPete, thats what i was thinking also. [12:24] <Dr_willis> I rember having a 9600 baud serial connection to the unix machines at school on my amiga. :) My friends apple2 couldent even handle that. [12:27] <dwidmann> Dr_willis: hard to say, never know what you might find out there so I left room for possibilities [12:27] <dwidmann> linuxlover: I presume it would work fine. One way to find out though ;) [12:27] <Dr_willis> i still rember the confusion that 'firewire' caused under a lot of disrtos when everyone suddendly had 2 network devices. :) one for the nic, and one for their firewire stuff. [12:29] <dwidmann> linuxlover: on another note, max speed I generally see over Wireless G is 2.2MiB/second, 100BaseTX ethernet is ~10MiB/second [12:30] <dwidmann> Dr_willis: crazeh [12:30] <Dr_willis> so a 100 mb file woulkd take about 10 sec then eh? [12:31] <dwidmann> Yeah [12:31] <Dr_willis> and I picked up a switch the otehr day - says its 'fast ethernet' thats 100 right? [12:32] <dwidmann> Right [12:33] <dwidmann> I've got a gigabit switch .... for regular transfers I usually don't see over about 20-30MiB/second, but that's still a worthy boost. [12:34] <Dr_willis> Yea - that was my next Q. :) i dont see gb gaining me a whole lot.. but i may be just noticeing the slower transfers oin the non GB machines [12:34] <Dr_willis> slowly updating my wholelan to gigabit stuff [12:35] <dwidmann> Dr_willis: I took care of that back when I got the switch ... think the switch was $60 and the NICs were about $30 each ... === RuyalarPrensi_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [12:35] <dwidmann> Need to find some sort of solution for my laptop though ... [12:36] <Dr_willis> dwidmann, yea. i finially pu a gb card in this machine..i only recently realized that built in NIC was not GB. :) and it was a Yukon chipset. which seems to have issues under linux. [12:36] <Dr_willis> My poor laptop - needs a GB nic for it - but its hard to justify the cost. [12:37] <dwidmann> Agreed.

[14:52] <xsacha> the command to run it is probably its name. if its a good little kde app, it will have a Help->About that explains the name, version and some info too [14:52] <sigma_> it just opens when i print a document, lists the file name, status etc. the irritating thing is that even when the doc has finished printing it does not close [14:56] <mycute7> 한국분 있으세요?

Preferably GUI. [15:50] <StainlessSteelRa> running kubuntu hardy on lenovo laptop. I've seen in the past a gui interface to control (read enable/disable) my touchpad. The applet sat in the panel. I can't recall the name of the application though. Any help? [15:50] <BluesKaj> psyco, why would you do that..degrades the sound terribly [15:51] <psyco> BluesKaj: I can't put FLAC on my iPod :( [15:51] <BluesKaj> disposable music i guess eh? [15:51] <Dr_willis> StainlessSteelRa, there was ksynaptic. BUT i think its been replaced by somthing else now a days. [15:51] <BluesKaj> what abot wav ? [15:51] <BluesKaj> about [15:51] <StainlessSteelRa> psyco: you might consider installing rockbox on your ipod and then you could... [15:52] <psyco> StainlessSteelRa: Rockbox drains my iPod battery >.> [15:52] <StainlessSteelRa> Dr_willis: yeah, I looked for ksynaptic in apt but no bueno [15:52] <BluesKaj> regular synaptic runs fine on kubuntu [15:52] <psyco> Also flac uses a lot of space on my IpoD XD [15:52] <StainlessSteelRa> psyco: personally, I didn't like the interface... but I could play my oggs... [15:52] <psyco> StainlessSteelRa: I loved rockbox but I had like a 5 hour battery life for some reason [15:53] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: running synaptic loads the aptitude gui... [15:53] <BluesKaj> well. if yo like flangy distorted sound psyco , be my guest ...dunno =how ppl can listen to mp3 music [15:54] <Dr_willis> i cant tell the differance in my Kenny. G. [15:54] <Dr_willis> :P [15:54] <BluesKaj> StainlessSteelRa, so...... ? [15:54] <Dr_willis> There is a TOUCHPAD tool thats has a name Similer to the package manager tools name. [15:54] <Dr_willis> dont get the 2 confused. :) [15:54] <BluesKaj> Dr_willis, puhleese .... [15:55] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj, honestly.. cant tell. Wait till you are an old factory worker. [15:55] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: well, unless I'm missing your point, I'm trying to install ksynaptic (or it's equivelent) which is the applet panel gui to control my touch pad... [15:55] <psyco> BluesKaj: I use flac on my computer just not on my iPod. [15:55] <BluesKaj> I worked in a paper mill lab for 32 yrs ... [15:55] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: if you are suggesting I use synaptic to find it, the I understand (but I'd done that already). [15:55] <psyco> But I need a good audio conversion program. [15:56] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: if you were suggesting I use synaptic as a gui to contorl my touchpad, you are mistaken or again I've misunderstood. [15:56] <Dr_willis> The touchpad ksynaptic and gsynaptic tools have been replaced/updated - i recall from the homepage of the tools. [15:56] <BluesKaj> touchpad ? [15:56] <StainlessSteelRa> Dr_willis: searching web now... [15:57] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: little square touch-sensative pad on laptops... === RuyalarPrensi_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [15:57] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: quite annoying to those of us who prefer the touchpoint (or pencil eraser) to control the mouse. I need a way to easily enable/disable so when my wife uses lappy she can enable it and when I use it I can disable it... gui preferred for her sake. [15:58] <Dr_willis> gsynaptics - is the name of the old tool. [15:58] <Dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [15:58] <DexterF> geforce 7600 on hardy - enabled nvidia driver from hardware drivers manager, next login it was disabled again. now what? need to reconf X? [15:59] <StainlessSteelRa> I have gsynaptics installed, but it doesn't look/behave the same as the applet I'd used in the past... [15:59] <Dr_willis> synclient can be used to adjust touchpad settings from the command line. This will work even if a GUI Preference tool is installed. [15:59] <Dr_willis> tools mentioned are ---------> synclient, syndaemon, gsynaptics, ksynaptics, and qsynaptics [16:00] <StainlessSteelRa> I sand corrected, gsynaptic does enable/disable touchpad. it just doesn't sit on the panel.. I will keep poking at things. [16:00] <BluesKaj> psyco, 'soundconverter' , but you'll need GStreamer LAME plugin as well [16:00] * StainlessSteelRa reading helpful link now [16:01] <derdui_> Hi, does anybody know how i find out, which hardware i have installed? especially my ethernetadapter [16:01] <Dr_willis> StainlessSteelRa, some of the tools are 'applets' also - that you 'add to panel' i recall. [16:02] <BluesKaj> StainlessSteelRa, I don't understand using a name so similar to a much used package manager (k)synaptic [16:02] <Dr_willis> based on the name of the X driver I imagine/touchpad/company [16:03] <psyco> Alright thanks BluesKaj [16:03] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: take it up with the manufacturer... the hardward is the "Synaptic TouchPad"... :) [16:04] <StainlessSteelRa> s/hardward/hardware/ [16:06] <cnstarz> does anyone know the link to the nvidia driver problem on 8.04? [16:06] <jcfp> Dragonath: I've just reopened the bug. Please add your comments too. To see/compare the actual error, run the "systemsettings" program from the command line. [16:06] <BluesKaj> StainlessSteelRa, when i saw the word synaptic I naturally assumed ...... I guess one shouldn't assume :) [16:07] <StainlessSteelRa> BluesKaj: honest mistake! :) trust me, you aren't the only one. It makes searching for info challenging, as you can't just search "kde synaptic" without getting loads of blather on synaptic as opposed to the touchpad utility... [16:08] <Dr_willis> they should rename synaptic to 'SuperPackageUberDevice" = 'SPUD' [16:08] <Dr_willis> :) [16:08] <Pici> :) [16:08] <BluesKaj> StainlessSteelRa, I can imagine [16:08] <StainlessSteelRa> what's frustrating is that I found the little gui while I was building gentoo on a space lappy some months ago, then I installed it to that same lappy when I installed kubuntu, now I haven't got the lappy and I can't recall what the hell it was I installed... I suspect it was ksynaptic.

[18:04] <gkr_> hi all! is there any difference between installing kubuntu, and installing ubuntu, then adding kde-desktop? [18:04] <_sourcemaker> Is there a professional to use a WLAN card Realtek 8185? (without ndiswrapper)? [18:04] <ThRixXx> kubuntu looks too much like windows [18:05] <ThRixXx> gkr_, kde is only a desktop interface such as gnome! [18:05] <_CrashMaster_> ThRixXx: So change it! [18:05] <_CrashMaster_> _sourcemaker: Are you looking for native Wireless drivers? [18:05] <ThRixXx> Can you ? Cool I'm used to ubuntu it has a nice earthy look! [18:06] <_sourcemaker> _CrashMaster_: no... i only whant to use this wlan card... but it is not supported? [18:06] <ThRixXx> gkr_, can you maybe explain your question more clearly ? [18:06] <_CrashMaster_> _sourcemaker: If its not supported, you're stuck with ndiswrapper [18:06] <_sourcemaker> _CrashMaster_: damm [18:06] <_CrashMaster_> ThRixXx: KDEMENU / SYSTEM SETTINGS / APPEARANCE and you can change anything [18:07] <_CrashMaster_> _sourcemaker: What are you trying to do that you cant use ndiswrapper ? [18:07] <_sourcemaker> _CrashMaster_: I hate linux for this :-) Wasting 4 days without sucess.... only ndiswrapper... but I will not use this... [18:08] <_sourcemaker> _CrashMaster_: I have bad experience with ndiswrapper... [18:08] <_CrashMaster_> _sourcemaker: really? Ive had nothign but success with it. [18:08] <gkr_> ThRixXx (sorry, not familiar with IRC so cannot address you correctly) was just cuirous as to why there are so many differences. Synaptic vs Adept package manager (which is awesome) keyring vs wallet etc. ts just a little confusing is all [18:09] <_CrashMaster_> gkr_: Its all about choices. What do YOU want to use? You're not limited to only one option. [18:09] <ThRixXx> Its your personal choice. [18:09] <coley> Hello [18:09] <_CrashMaster_> Hello coley [18:10] <coley> What going on? [18:10] <ThRixXx> I suppose it's there to give people a variet to choose from ? [18:12] <ThRixXx> There are allso different programs created for kde, same goes for gnome. I think they can run on kde or gnome, but will work faster on the platform it was designed [18:13] <coley> So what are the advantages of kubuntu over ubuntu? [18:13] <gkr_> ohh yea, the whole gtk/qt thing. i kinda like both, but kde is running on all my machines. cant wait for 4.1!! [18:14] <jramskov> Question: I'm running kubuntu 8.04 (i386) and I have installed sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-bin. I have no other java installed. I need the JRE in Firefox 3. What am I missing? [18:14] <ThRixXx> It's simmilar to windows and is easier for people who are familiar with windows to use! [18:14] <coley> I see. [18:14] <_CrashMaster_> coley: One uses Gnome and the other KDE. [18:14] <_CrashMaster_> Again, choices. [18:15] <coley> I see. [18:15] <ThRixXx> jramskov, I think it's the browser plugin ? You can get it from mozilla addons === coley is now known as Okiedude [18:16] <Okiedude> What should I do now that I have kubuntu installed? [18:18] <emilsedgh> Okiedude: use it? [18:18] <jramskov> ThRixXx: I can only find a java console which isn't it [18:18] <bipolar> Is there a way to set adept to never ask if the user wants to do a distrobution upgrade? I've just been handed a laptop that a user did this on and now some of our custom apps don't work. I want them to do normal security updates, but not this. [18:18] <Okiedude> Why is it better than windows? [18:18] <Okiedude> I usually play games. [18:18] <Okiedude> Steam games. [18:20] <ThRixXx> When you go on a website that requirs java firefox should show a "click here to download plugins" [18:20] <ThRixXx> Have you tried that ? [18:21] <trappist> !java [18:21] <ubottu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

[18:21] <gkr_> So, i have this friend. very computer savvy. he knows his way around linux more then I do as he is a server dev, yet he refuses to accept linux as a desktop replacement. we argue over this from time to time, and he insists that the linux kernal is not multi media aware and never will be. any suggestions for a rebuttle? [18:22] <ThRixXx> tell him ubuntu is evolveing faster than windows and soon, linux > windows [18:23] <Okiedude> So right now it is not as good? [18:23] <jramskov> ThRixXx: yeah, tried that, it can't do it and refers to java.com [18:23] <melkart> gkr_: what are his arguments why linux will never be "multi media aware"? (what does that mean exactly?) [18:23] <ThRixXx> Depends what you wanto use it for! [18:23] <gkr_> ThRixXx, LOL have done, but his reply is something along the lines of critical mass :) === kewark is now known as krawek [18:23] <ThRixXx> It's easier to use windows for gaming... [18:24] <gkr_> melkart, an example is how running multiple audio streams will bring the UI to its knees. [18:25] <melkart> gkr_: yes (i havent experienced that myself) but why wouldnt it be fixed at some time? [18:25] <melkart> gkr_: (because he said "*never* will be") [18:26] <drif> gkr_: multiple audio streams - does that also refer to sequencer programs such as rosegarden? [18:26] <_sourcemaker> can I extract the files of an rbm file? [18:27] <_sourcemaker> i mean rpm === matt_ is now known as z0d14k [18:28] <JoshOvki> !alien [18:28] <ubottu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [18:28] <gkr_> melkart, apparently, the kernel developers are not concerned about anything other then server performance and enhancements etc. Also, each kernel point update changes something or rather which breaks other things. untill a desktop kernel is forked and maintained, deskop performance will never match the competition. .. Well, its open source so i guess anything is possible [18:29] <gkr_> !?! [18:29] <dennis_p> music makers used to need to run a custum linux kernel you can compensate with speedy hardware like windows users did [18:32] <melkart> gkr_: given the progress that linux made in the last 5 years in being good for desktop use, i dont see why in 5-10 years it shouldnt become near perfect [18:33] <gkr_> the way i see it. install ubuntu and you have a fully loaded PC. office, graphice, browsers, irc clients etc. Install windows and you have notepad and paint. :) I think the best thing ubuntu and other distro's have is the package manager!

[18:47] <hawkeyex> also, is there a way for me to determine what kind of motherboard I have? === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [18:48] <mefistofele> frojnd: the Driver under the Device section needs to be "nvidia" to use the nvidia-glx package, not "nv" [18:48] <jcfp> hawkeyex: that's kinda hard to say without knowing what exactly you are trying to do, but if you want more space either look outside of /tmp/floppy or make that loopback filesystem larger [18:48] <jcfp> hawkeyex: and motherboard brandname and model is available via lshw (I think) [18:48] <rajiv_nair> Whenever im copying something using konqqueror or nautilus in hardy the system becomes really slow [18:48] <rajiv_nair> i didnt have this problem with gutsy [18:49] <rajiv_nair> any ideas?

[18:55] <frojnd> cnstarz: nom I haven't tryed nvidia-settings just when I change under deveice section "nv" into "nvidia" and than restart x I have to backup.. [18:55] <cnstarz> ohhh [18:55] <frojnd> I have to install nvidida-settings first [18:55] <cnstarz> yep [18:55] <frybye7> Hi - who is using 8.04 with a usb- wireless lan stick?? [18:56] <frybye7> if so - did it work "out of the box" - which manuf. etc...? [18:56] <awag> cnstarz: speaking of nvidia-settings, i use it to underclock my video card because otherwise it is unstable, however the settings are lost when i restart the machine, is there a way to save these settings? [18:56] <cnstarz> write them to your xorg.conf, i think [18:56] <frojnd> cnstarz: when I run nvidia-settings it gives me warning that I do not use nvidida driver... [18:57] <cnstarz> oh when underclocking, i dunno [18:57] <cnstarz> sorry [18:57] <frybye7> cnstarz: why do you have to underclock.. should work with normal mhz or...?

[19:05] <jabba_> dennis_p: you can launch x by itself [19:06] <jabba_> dennis_p: Xorg -config <filename> [19:06] <dennis_p> in konsole? [19:07] <jabba_> well you'd need to stop x first :) [19:07] <reisi> is there any way to request new kde4.0.4 packages (with a fix for this http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161870) for huge regressions in khtml [19:07] <jabba_> you can't launch an x server when one is running [19:07] <ubottu> KDE bug 161870 in khtml forms "Display bug in editable text areas (forms)" [Normal,New] [19:07] <jabba_> although you can use Xnest, but that's probably more than you want right now [19:07] <reisi> heh, ubottu same bug as above [19:07] <jabba_> reisi: ubottu is a bot. [19:08] <ThRixXx> how do i add the universe repostory [19:08] <Pici> Its parsing out the bug link you posted. [19:08] <reisi> jabba_: i understand thanks :) wrote it so others could have straight link [19:09] <reisi> aah, ok :) thanks pici [19:09] <dennis_p> the resolution works in the kde login screen but after login the resoltions available are lower then stated in x.org conf [19:10] <jabba_> dennis_p: how do you know the resolutions are different? [19:10] <dennis_p> ha, the monitor tells the scan rates [19:10] <jabba_> dennis_p: gotcha [19:10] <lew> Hi eve.... [19:11] <frojnd> I've followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia and when I run nvidia-xconfig I got a new xorg, but when I've restarted I wasn't able to get into x. any ideas what else could it go wrong ? [19:11] <reisi> anyways; now that i have embarrased myself could someone point me to the correct way to ask for someone to build khtml (kdelibs and ??) with at least that bugfix [19:11] <jabba_> frojnd: did you look at the error log? === contempt is now known as ConTeMPt_ [19:11] <ThRixXx> !ntfs-3g [19:11] <ubottu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:12] <ThRixXx> how do i add the universal repostory? [19:12] <frojnd> jabba_: how can I do that ? I'm running x like: startx [19:12] <jabba_> frojnd: /var/log/Xsession.error i think [19:12] <jabba_> lemme check [19:13] <jabba_> hm, i don't have one :) [19:13] * Josh0vki is sad as he removes kubuntu from his laptop [19:13] <jabba_> frojnd: so when you start x and it fails, it should spit out where the error file is. [19:13] <Xbehave> how come ? [19:13] <jabba_> frojnd: or you can start x manually and do Xorg >& /tmp/foo and then less /tmp/foo [19:13] <Xbehave> Josh0vki: whats unfixable? [19:13] <frojnd> jabba_: since I'm runnig x like start x.... maybe ucan tell me the command line so I can pipe somewhere the process [19:14] <Josh0vki> Xbehave: nothing, im sending it off for repairs but they will only take laptops that have the orinigal OS installed [19:14] <jabba_> frojnd: Xorg >& /tmp/foo && less /tmp/foo [19:14] <Xbehave> backup your /home to a dvd and itll be like it never left when you reinstall [19:15] <Josh0vki> Xbehave: already have [19:16] <pim> Could anyone tell me what IOPL is? [19:16] <Josh0vki> Xbehave: been doing this a long time, but its still sad to see it being replaced by windows [19:16] <pim> I get it as an error message: IOPL not enabled, with wine [19:17] * Xbehave understands your pain [19:17] <pim> trying to open winword in Kubuntu [19:17] <pim> But I only get an error message [19:17] <frojnd> jabba_: http://pastebin.ca/1022959 [19:17] <Xbehave> look it up in winehq thats more likely to tell you how to get stuff working in wine that us [19:17] <Pici> !appdb | pim [19:18] <ubottu> pim: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [19:18] <john-scott> hey all, running 8.04 with KDE4, can't seem to copy and paste between KDE4 apps and GTK apps (like firefox). any ideas? [19:18] <jabba_> frojnd: like i said, you cannot run x when x is already running [19:18] <jabba_> frojnd: if you're running your irc client in xwindows, you'll have to stop it. (sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop) [19:18] <jabba_> frojnd: when you do that, the graphic session will end, and you can re-launch X on your own. if you do that and it fails, you can view the error log. [19:19] <jabba_> frojnd: if it fails to start correctly, it will tell you, and leave the details in the log (which can be very long) [19:19] <frojnd> jabba_: don't understand I have to close x season and than start Xorg >& /tmp/foo && less /tmp/foo ? [19:19] <Xbehave> jog [19:20] <frojnd> jabba_: I'm on irssi running screen... so no need to disconnect .. [19:20] <jabba_> frojnd: the way X works is it launches a single process that runs all your applicatiobns on top of that. [19:20] <Xbehave> john-scott: try #kubuntu-kde4 or #kde [19:20] <jabba_> frojnd: so you have to stop X manually, and then run it manually, without using startx. [19:20] <jabba_> frojnd: if you're using irssi, it's pretty easy. Just stop X (sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop) [19:20] <frojnd> jabba_: ok jabba_ just by typing X ? [19:21] <jabba_> frojnd: then, run X manually (sudo Xorg) [19:21] <jabba_> frojnd: if you have a config file you've frobbed yourself, you would say Xorg --config <filename> [19:21] <frojnd> and than your command: Xorg >& /tmp/foo && less /tmp/fo ? [19:22] <jabba_> frojnd: i'd just say Xorg and let it spit it out to stderr [19:22] <jabba_> frojnd: it will tell you where the error log is when it dies. but X has to be not running for it to come up and give you an error. [19:22] <frojnd> k [19:22] <jabba_> (or, not come up with an error if the config file is correct) [19:22] <pim> I guess the best thing to do is to install it via Wine. [19:22] <jabba_> frojnd: you said you're using nvidia-xconfig? [19:23] <pim> rahter than opening it with wine from the windows partition [19:25] <Xbehave> yeah it cant eulate regitries that it doesnt have installed [19:26] <frojnd> jabba_: when running Xorg: Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" [19:26] <jabba_> gotta run it as root :) [19:26] <frojnd> jabba_: ok.. brb [19:27] <cnstarz> i downloaded filezilla off filezilla's site, but how do i install it? [19:27] <cnstarz> it comes as a .bz2 archive [19:28] <Pici> cnstarz: filezilla is in the package repositories, it would be better to install it from there. [19:28] <cnstarz> i saw it in there, but noticed it was an older version [19:28] <cnstarz> i'll give that a shot [19:28] <cnstarz> also, is there a way to make it so that you have to double click desktop icons to open them, instead of just single clicking?

[19:30] <jabba_> it doesn't look like it had anything fatal [19:30] <jimmy51vinsky> when configin'g binutils, what does AR=ar AS=as do? [19:30] <frojnd> jabba_: maybe, but there was just gray screen an dI could point with X mouse and nothing more.. [19:31] <jabba_> frojnd: welcome to Xwindows :) [19:31] <frojnd> jabba_: no X didn't come.. [19:31] <jabba_> frojnd: i thought you said your monitor tells you the resolution. and if you saw the grey screen, that's Xwindows. [19:31] <Dragonath> hey, how is the easiest way to update my bios on 7.10? [19:31] <jabba_> frojnd: all that other fluffy stuff like your window manager come out of startx (which is a wrapper) [19:32] <frojnd> jabba_: my monitor says resolution if I click on the menu and than info... [19:32] <frojnd> tells* [19:32] <el1te> 1st instead of having to type 'sudo command' everytime cant i just login as root and not have to do the sudo command anymore [19:32] <jabba_> frojnd: and when x comes up bare, does it have the resolution you want? [19:32] <el1te> if i try ' su root' i switch fine but apt-get locks dirs [19:32] <jabba_> el1te: yes, you can type sudo -s or sudo su - [19:32] <frojnd> jabba_: don't know... its full screen gray screen... [19:33] <frojnd> jabba_: no fluxmenu whatsoever.. [19:33] <el1te> ok thanks [19:33] <cnstarz> would anyone know how to fix the login screen's font size? look at this: [19:33] <jabba_> frojnd: so your monitor itself does not have a menu? [19:33] <cnstarz> http://http://cool.lololcats.com/random_images/login.jpg [19:34] <frojnd> jabba_: my monitor has menu... I can change brightness position ..

[19:34] <frojnd> jabba_: I have the correct resolution only I don't have properly set drivers for nvidia.. [19:34] <cnstarz> who [19:35] <jabba_> frojnd: and dennis_p? [19:35] <frojnd> jabba_: my drivers aren't enabled [19:35] <frojnd> jabba_: what dennis ?

[19:38] <jabba_> dennis_p: and your monitor tells you the resolution? [19:38] <jabba_> frojnd: you're using nvidia-xconfig? [19:38] <dennis_p> the freq [19:38] <jabba_> dennis_p: and so the freq is correct at the splash screen but not after it launches kdm? [19:38] <dennis_p> right [19:39] <jabba_> dennis_p: and you're verifying this from the monitor's menu? [19:39] <dennis_p> yes [19:39] <frojnd> jabba_: I've told u: when I run nvidia-xconfig and then restart my X I'm not able to get back t oX. I have to backup file.... [19:39] <frojnd> :) [19:39] <jabba_> dennis_p: so, why would the kdm freq be different for the splash screen? it doesn't manage resolution... (or does it? does it set your resolution based on your prefs?) [19:40] <jabba_> frojnd: the manual page for nvidia-xconfig gives you all the settings [19:40] <jabba_> frojnd: so i use something like nvidia-xconfig --twinview --LeftOf --no-xinerama etc [19:40] <jabba_> frojnd: have you used envyng? [19:40] <frojnd> jabba_: nop [19:41] <frojnd> jabba_: I don't know sync and horizontal.. [19:41] <jabba_> frojnd: frojnd sudo apt-get install envyng-core [19:41] <jabba_> frojnd: is this a sync problem or a resolution problem? [19:41] <frojnd> jabba_: sync [19:41] <jabba_> frojnd: and are you using kde3 or kde4? [19:42] <frojnd> jabba_: erm don't know what fluxbox is running with =) [19:42] <frojnd> I've installed first server and than programs Ineed. [19:42] <jabba_> oh, eeks [19:42] <jabba_> frojnd: i'm not sure how you'd get envyng to run in fluxbox. in theory it should. [19:42] <jabba_> frojnd: envyng goes and downloads the correct driver and builds a module for you [19:43] <jabba_> frojnd: in my case, it figured it out well enough, and the nvidia driver doesn't build right on my system.; [19:43] <frojnd> jabba_: I haven't downlaod or install envyng yet [19:43] <jabba_> frojnd: but you have had x working without using nvidia-xconfig? [19:44] <frojnd> jabba_: yes [19:44] <jabba_> frojnd: so when you run nvidia-xconfig without flags, it breaks X for you? [19:45] <frojnd> jabba_: correct [19:45] <jabba_> frojnd: so you get to play with nvidia-xconfig settings. what kind of setup do you have? [19:45] <jabba_> frojnd: e.g., i have two displays and a twinview card. [19:45] <frojnd> jabba_: settings of what ? [19:46] <frojnd> jabba_: oh, only one screen recommended 1280x1024 [19:46] <frojnd> jabba_: I have just fx 5500 [19:46] <jabba_> frojnd: ok, so do you want composite? [19:47] <frojnd> jabba_: I wannt just to be nvidia driveres enabled, without for rany fancy compiz.. [19:47] <frojnd> rany=fancy [19:47] <frojnd> I like my computer play fast as it can.. [19:48] <jabba_> frojnd: so, let's see. nvidia-xconfig --mode=1280x1024 [19:48] <frojnd> jabba_: just a sec [19:48] <jabba_> after that you can get into the fancy stuff, but does that work? [19:48] <frojnd> jabba_: let me try restrat [19:48] <jabba_> omg root! [19:48] <Tm_T> root: are we rooted now?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:33] <el1te> i need dpkg reconfigure command [22:34] <el1te> that article you pasted dont help [22:34] <el1te> i cant get alsamixer to work now [22:34] <o0Chris0o> it does help [22:34] <o0Chris0o> it is there [22:34] <o0Chris0o> :) [22:34] <el1te> it tells me to load the module then do alsamixer [22:35] <o0Chris0o> sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source [22:36] <o0Chris0o> might have to install alsa-source [22:36] <o0Chris0o> how do I use "kde-tweak" I installed it from Adept, but can't seem to use it [22:37] * jabba returns and looks around for dennis_p [22:38] <jabba> how can i tell my window manager to pop windows on one side of the screen or the other? i'm using twinview, so new windows show up in the middle of the display, which for me is the space between two monitors. [22:38] <nosrednaekim> you can set "place" location in the kwin settings... right click on the title bar of a window [22:39] <nosrednaekim> and mess witht he window specific settings [22:41] <o0Chris0o> how do I use "kde-tweak" I installed it from Adept, but can't seem to use it [22:44] <el1te> how can you tell which sound device "asound" is currently using [22:45] <jabba> nosrednaekim: thank you.. where are the kwin settings? i'm on kde4/hardy. [22:45] <el1te> i think i need to reboot [22:45] <el1te> brb [22:45] <nosrednaekim> jabba: right click on title bar->preferences I think [22:48] <jabba> okay i see the configure dialogue, but i don't see a "place" setting [22:49] <jabba> ah, there it is [22:49] <jabba> under "moving" [22:49] <jabba> oh that is so much better. thank you nosrednaekim. [22:50] <nosrednaekim> YW [22:52] <jabba> urgh, now kmix is crashy. :/ [22:52] <dennis_p> hey jabba got a little depressed as it didn´t work [22:54] <jabba> oh boy. this is what i get for a live upgrade to kde4. i've got kde3 and kde4 binaries fighting for which one is correct [22:54] <dennis_p> mhm, i wonder where xorg session resolution is saved maybe i could edit the file manualy [22:54] <jabba> well of course [22:55] <jabba> /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:55] <dennis_p> yeah i changed that one but the resoltion after login where is that saved? [22:56] <jabba> i dunno, i think that's a kde setting you're playing with. my familiarity ends at the xserver. [22:56] <dennis_p> ah [22:56] <dennis_p> thx anyway [23:04] <djdarkman> how come I can`t find an option to use window decorations in the current CCSM?

[23:05] <nosrednaekim> *manager [23:06] <terrestre> krdc? [23:07] <djdarkman> nosrednaekim: no option there, the problem is that I have to start emerald manually [23:08] <venik> can anyone tell me why USB devices (keyboard, mouse) occasionally become invisible to the system upon reboot? [23:08] <nosrednaekim> djdarkman: remove "compiz-kde" and then it will use emerald by default [23:08] <djdarkman> ahhhh I understand [23:09] <Dragnslcr> djdarkman- CCSM -> Effects -> Window Decoration -> Command: /usr/bin/emerald [23:09] <nosrednaekim> or that :P [23:10] <Dragnslcr> It took me a few tries to get it to actually work right, but I think that's because I don't have a very clean install of Compiz [23:10] <mefistofele> can anyone recommend a good kde player for mod/s3m/it/xm music files? === cristano is now known as Zeroc00l [23:11] <Zeroc00l> hi all [23:11] <djdarkman> dammm I was looking for this in the wrong place, thanks Dragnslcr [23:14] <mefistofele> ah, nevermind, amarok does it [23:15] <el1te> my sound is screwed up worse then what it was [23:15] <el1te> what can i do to make it back to the way it was when i installed kubuntu 8.04 kde remix === Stratcom is now known as Dorib0t === Dorib0t is now known as none-of-the-abov === none-of-the-abov is now known as Hostile_Hacker === Hostile_Hacker is now known as Friendly_Hacker === Friendly_Hacker is now known as Calm_Hacker === Calm_Hacker is now known as DoriBot [23:19] <Simonft> my swap partition is messed up [23:20] <jabba> Simonft: what is the problem [23:20] <jabba> Simonft: you don't have to use a partition for swap. if you like, you can use a file. [23:21] <Simonft> free | grep Swap gives me this: Swap: 1650116 0 1650116, but that is only after doing this: sudo swapoff -a ;sudo mkswap /dev/hda4 ;sudo swapon /dev/hda4, and getting: darn it, i cant switch to terminal to fix it [23:21] <jabba> you should not have to mkswap it === DoriBot is now known as Ary4nBot [23:21] <jabba> if it's swap, it does the right thing. [23:21] <Simonft> the only think i can do on the computer right now is type in this text box [23:22] <jabba> you're in the command line? [23:22] <Simonft> i have to each time i restart, other wise free | grep Swap gives me: 0 0 0 [23:22] <Simonft> no, i can't [23:22] <jabba> you can't what? [23:22] <Simonft> oh wait, ctrl alt f1 works, i can do that [23:22] <BluesKaj> ctrl+alt+f2 , Simonft [23:22] <jabba> BluesKaj: that's where i was heading :) [23:23] <Simonft> ican clisk anywhere on the screen [23:23] <Simonft> ** i cant [23:23] <jabba> Simonft: so what is the problem? swap? malfunctioning cursor? [23:24] <Simonft> im not sure, swap seems to be messing up, and now this [23:24] <Simonft> the computer will freeze all of a sudden sometimes too, and wil have to be manually restarted [23:24] <Simonft> im on a PowerBook G4 if that helps [23:25] <jabba> it's kind of hard to diagnose a system that has a bunch of things wrong. easiest to do one at a time. [23:25] <Simonft> tell that to my computer [23:25] <Simonft> i think it is all related, but i am not sure how [23:26] <el1te> the sound manager in kde 4.04 is not using asound correctly is it [23:26] <el1te> can idisable the sound manager in kde [23:27] <el1te> and just use good ole alsa and alsaconfig [23:27] <BluesKaj> el1te, which kde? [23:27] <el1te> kde 4.04 [23:27] <Simonft> does anybody have any idea? i was having the freezing problem before, and did a clean reinstall, and it is still happening [23:28] <BluesKaj> Simonft, where on the disk and how large is your swap and what apps are causing the freeze up [23:29] <Simonft> um, do you have a command to find that out? i can get to command prompt since it is open and alt tab works [23:29] <BluesKaj> el1te, I think we referred you to the kde4 support chat once already [23:29] <el1te> you did but that channel is dead [23:30] <Simonft> hey, i can click again [23:30] <Simonft> WTF??? [23:30] <Simonft> it works now [23:31] <el1te> ok im back in it [23:31] <BluesKaj> what works now ? [23:31] <el1te> hope someone wil lhelp me [23:31] <Simonft> clicking [23:31] <Simonft> btw, things only freeze when firefox is open [23:31] <Simonft> clicking happens unrelated to other things [23:32] <BluesKaj> ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the desktop , Simonft [23:32] <Simonft> im there [23:32] <jabba> el1te: what is the problem?

[23:32] <navetz> I am using a bash script to copy over ftp, when I run the command through my terminal it exits ftp when it is done (which is what I want) but when I run it through my script it does not exit. Can anyone please help? [23:33] <Simonft> i think i found the problem, nothing is saving to swap [23:34] <jabba> navetz: it probably wants a terminal on stdin [23:34] <jabba> navetz: er, tty, not terminal [23:34] <jabba> navetz: can you use wget? [23:34] <navetz> jabba: I am trying to upload to a ftp server [23:34] <BluesKaj> Simonft, linux likes to cache memory rather than swap [23:35] <BluesKaj> swap is a last resort [23:35] <Simonft> BluesKaj: well, is it normal to have absolutly nothing is swap? [23:35] <BluesKaj> yes [23:35] <BluesKaj> as long as you have over 1G RAM [23:35] <Simonft> BluesKaj: ok, have any other idea why my computer keeps freezing while firefox is open? [23:36] <Simonft> BluesKaj: nope [23:36] <BluesKaj> FF is beta [23:36] <Simonft> BluesKaj: under 1gb of ram [23:36] <BluesKaj> it's still buggy on Hardy [23:36] <BluesKaj> 512? [23:36] <jabba> navetz: both wget and curl can put to an ftp site [23:36] <Simonft> BluesKaj: im not sure, i got it from somone esle, i think thats about right [23:36] <jabba> navetz: but if you want ftp to work in a script, you might consider putting /dev/null into it [23:37] <jabba> navetz: e.g., <ftp program> <args> < /dev/null [23:37] <jabba> navetz: or you can use screen. i use it to run a small apache and postgres instance from a script [23:37] <Simonft> konq [23:37] <Simonft> sorry [23:38] <Herlaziness> hello how do I start pulseaudio in kubuntu? [23:39] <Simonft> what is the name of the kubuntu browser? i will use that [23:39] <navetz> jabba: I thought of screen but then I thought that I would still get stuck because the script doesn't exit lftp [23:40] <Simonft> !internet [23:40] <ubottu> Factoid internet not found [23:40] <navetz> jabba: /dev/null did the trick! [23:40] <Simonft> !browser [23:40] <ubottu> Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [23:40] <Herlaziness> !pulseaudio [23:40] <ubottu> PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [23:40] <BluesKaj> Simonft, Konqueror [23:41] <rrossi> hi [23:42] <Herlaziness> hello!! how do I start pulseaudio in kubuntu? [23:42] <rrossi> hi [23:42] <crimsun> install it, and invoke it manually in a konsole. [23:43] <rrossi> any news on hardy ldap-auth-client?? [23:43] <crimsun> do not start it as a system-wide daemon unless you have a darned good reason to do so and understand the security ramifications. [23:43] <Herlaziness> crimsun: I was about to ask how to start it as a deamon -- I guess I won't for now [23:44] <Herlaziness> crimsun: thanks, I will give it a try [23:44] <jabba> how do i change my keyboard mapping?

[23:52] <Herlaziness> what is the best way to run pulseaudio in the background, without typing in kconsole everytime I login/logout? [23:52] <nosrednaekim> Herlaziness: putting it in autostart? [23:53] <nosrednaekim> !autostart [23:53] <ubottu> To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
