[00:00] <Linux_Galore> micro: check the last line few lines of you /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[00:00] <Linux_Galore> LordCrc: no
=== root is now known as Guest70341
[00:01] <LordCrc> Linux_Galore: ah well, except for the extra time, is there any downside to install->upgrade, or should i just grab a fresh cd?
[00:01] <Linux_Galore> LordCrc: if you are asking such a question it tells me you are pretty new thus 8.10 will be beyond you right now as it is alpha
[00:01] <Linux_Galore> LordCrc: grab a fresh disk
[00:02] <Linux_Galore> LordCrc: 8.10 is far from complete right now
[00:02] <LordCrc> Linux_Galore: aaaight, cheers :) and http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-beta :D
[00:02] <micro> Section "Extensions"	Option		"Composite"	"Enable"EndSection
[00:02] <Linux_Galore> micro: you need to change Enable to "Disable"
[00:03] <LordCrc> ok, perhaps ill just go with 8.04 then for now
[00:03]  * Linux_Galore is on 8.10 but knows enough to hack out the bugs
[00:04] <micro> how can I save it from kate? or do i have to do it from console?
[00:04] <LordCrc> aaight, cheers then :)
[00:04] <Linux_Galore> micro: you need to open kate with sudo  ie sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:05] <Linux_Galore> micro: only admin can change a system file
[00:05] <ninjafury> Hi. I'm on intrepid, and everytime I boot up, I have to manually adjust mixer settings in the volume panel to get sound. Anyway to save settings?
[00:06] <Dr1> Anyone know why cp /src/dir /dest/dir -apurv is not copying all the files and folders from an XP PC (I have R permissions to them)?
[00:06] <micro> I know
[00:06] <micro> kate command not found... hmm
[00:07] <Linux_Galore> Dr1: need a capital R
[00:07] <ninjafury> I'm using ALSA and not pulse I think
[00:07] <ninjafury> micro: just use nano
[00:08] <Linux_Galore> alsa -store
[00:08] <Dr1> micro: u do?
[00:08] <Linux_Galore> oops
[00:08] <Linux_Galore> alsactl -store
[00:09] <Linux_Galore> alsactl store   without the switch sorry
[00:09] <Linux_Galore> been ages since I had to use that command
[00:10] <ninjafury> Linux_Galore: and it saves everything? do you know where the config file is located?
[00:10] <Linux_Galore> ninjafury: not of the top of my head
[00:11] <micro> why it hasn't opened the file but created a new instead? am I so stupid?
=== freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t]
[00:11] <Linux_Galore> micro: means you did a typo
[00:11] <Linux_Galore> nano wont magically open a file if the path is wrong
[00:11] <Linux_Galore> it creates a blank new one
[00:12] <mefisto__> use tab completion to avoid typos
[00:12] <ninjafury> Linux_Galore: found it in the man page of alsactl. Thanks
[00:13] <micro> sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf is there anything wrong?
[00:14] <Linux_Galore> I'm finding the lock and unlock stuff in kde4 to be very pedantic
[00:14] <Linux_Galore> micro: X11
[00:14] <Linux_Galore> not x11
[00:14] <micro> X
[00:14] <micro> omg
[00:15] <micro> I need to get used to it ...and I want
[00:16] <Linux_Galore> micro: learn to use autocomplete (press tab key)  if you did you would have realises x[tab]  doesnt work thus there must be a typo
[00:18] <micro> yeah it makes sence =P
[00:18] <micro> so now restart?
[00:18] <Linux_Galore> Im amazed Ubuntu doesnt enable the autocomplete with the "ignore case = yes" enabled by default
[00:18] <Linux_Galore> micro: log out then hit ctrl alt backspace
[00:19] <Linux_Galore> micro but first
[00:19] <micro> yes?
[00:19] <Linux_Galore> micro: turn the effetc off in look and feel section in kcontrol
[00:20] <Linux_Galore> in the window section from memory under look and feel
[00:20] <JuJuBee> Linux_Galore: They are unlocked already and I cannot move them
[00:21] <Linux_Galore> did you click on the half moon on the right
[00:21] <JuJuBee> Of course
[00:22] <Linux_Galore> beware it wont allow you to place a widget were something already resides
[00:22] <Linux_Galore> you should get the move arrow (looks like a compas cross)
[00:22] <Linux_Galore> if you have done it right
=== sherman is now known as snarkster
[00:23] <JuJuBee> I am not talking about moving widgets on the deskop, but in the lower pannel (taskbar)
[00:23] <snarkster> hi
[00:23] <Linux_Galore> yes
[00:23] <Linux_Galore> I just moved a widget to confirm and it works
[00:23] <Linux_Galore> and it does
[00:24] <snarkster> i just bought an acer aspire 6930 laptop anyone have any luck with kubuntu on those?
[00:24] <micro> GUI effects?
[00:24] <Linux_Galore> micro: turn them off
[00:24] <mefisto__> JuJuBee: click the widget, then move it
[00:24] <micro> already turned off
[00:25] <Linux_Galore> micro: just log out now and press ctrl alt backspace
[00:25] <micro> logging out...see you soon... I hope :D
[00:25] <Linux_Galore> then log in again
[00:28] <ubuntoil> does anyone knows about kde4 and nvidia drivers issues ??
[00:29] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: broken
[00:29] <Linux_Galore> same as ati
[00:29] <Linux_Galore> so I dont use them right now
[00:30] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: what do I use then ??
[00:30] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: use the nv driver
[00:31] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: and then no issues ??
[00:31] <Linux_Galore> ie change Driver = "nvidia" to Driver = "nv"  in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[00:31] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: none other than no 3D support
[00:31] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: what do you mean, if I have the proprio drivers and just change my xorg.conf, it's gonna work ??
[00:31] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: yes
[00:32] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: or just use kde3
[00:32] <Linux_Galore> and it works fine
[00:32] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: which is gonna be a little bit more difficult with the coming (K)ubuntu
[00:33] <ubuntoil> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/intrepid-alpha-6
[00:33] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: yeah,Im on intrepid and the xorg server is totally different
[00:33] <Linux_Galore> thus the proprietry drivers dont work at all
[00:34] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: shall I wait till this issue is fixed before upgrading (maybe 9.04)
[00:34] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: not like I'm crazy about update but....
[00:34] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: should be fixed later this month ati are releasing new drivers (bit tight there) not sure about nvidia
[00:35] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: yeah nvidia, always a little late
[00:36] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: Xorg 1.5 is pretty good, new user wil love it, total no brainer, no stuffing around with xorg.conf
[00:36] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: let make that very clear, if I use the free drivers I should not have any trouble even though I have an nvidia card...is that it ??
[00:37] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: correct
[00:37] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: only issue is 3D support
[00:37] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: normal desktop use though has no issues only games
[00:38] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: I don't play games, so no pb
[00:39] <JuJuBee> linux_galore and mefisto : missing one important thing ... click on cashew first then the widget wish to move.  Just got that from #kde.  THanks for the help anyway.
[00:39] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: this would be a none issue if Nvidia released the specs, we will even sign a none discolsure
[00:40] <Linux_Galore> ubuntoil: ati/amd have released theirs
[00:40] <ubuntoil> Linux_Galore: yeah I know...
[00:40] <Linux_Galore> JuJuBee: eeer I told you do do that [sigh]
[00:41] <mefisto__> JuJuBee: that's what we both said isn't it?
[00:41] <Linux_Galore> twice
[00:41] <toti_> Hey, how to change the owner of a file by chmod?
[00:42] <favro> you use chown for that
[00:42] <toti_> ok, thx
[00:42] <Linux_Galore> chown username file
[00:44] <micro> I had some difficulties with wifi but graphics works fine and no kwin errors :) thx a lot
[00:45] <Linux_Galore> micro: kde4 will have the effects built into kwin thus no errors

[00:54] <micro> how can I turn them on and set them up?
[00:55] <Linux_Galore> ?
[00:56] <Linux_Galore> in kubuntu 8.10 there is a tool in your main menu to turn it all on
[00:57] <Linux_Galore> unless you are running an Intel card though I would bother, no Ati or Nvidia driver for Xorg 1.5
[00:57] <Linux_Galore> would'nt
[00:58] <Linux_Galore> sorry, no "proprietary"  driver for Ati and Nvidia in Xorg 1.5
[01:02] <micro> in older kubuntu there is no such tool?
[01:03] <Linux_Galore> not sure never installed kde4 in 8.04
[01:05] <micro> now I'm totaly not sure wich kubuntu did i download and install... but I have KDE4 so?
[01:07] <mefisto__> lsb_release -a    will tell you
[01:10] <micro> I knew there must be a way : D
[01:10] <micro> 8.04.1
[01:24] <Zerothis> I'm trying to use a USB drive to install ubuntu on another computer with no CD drive. I used UNebootin, Ubuntu, 8.04_Live. I think I wrote to the previously blank drive correctly (it shows 21 files/folders including "syslinux.cfg") but the other computer does not find a bootable image on the USB drive (I disabled all boot options except USB, still doesn't find it).
=== genii-2 is now known as genii
[01:32] <LeeJunFan> Zerothis: have you tested on the other computer to rule out the USB stick contents?
[01:38] <etfb> I can't make "Open Containing Folder" in Firefox's Download Manager do anything at all.  It seems like an issue with mime times or default applications or something.  Can anyone offer any steps to fix the problem?
[01:42] <LeeJunFan> etfb: you're right about what's causing it.
[01:42] <LeeJunFan> etfb: it's probably trying to use a filemanager it can't find. just a sec.
[01:44] <etfb> LeeJunFan: I followed some instructions on setting up network.protocol-handler.app.file = /usr/bin/konqueror, but they had no effect.
[01:44] <LeeJunFan> etfb: okay, in your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory you'll find a default dir, go in there and rename or remove mimeTypes.rdf, then start firefox.
[01:44] <LeeJunFan> etfb: firefox3 is different.
[01:45] <LeeJunFan> you can try finding what you need to edit in that file, but it's formatting is kind of a pain.
[01:45] <LeeJunFan> Actually you'll be looking for the RDF:about="urn:scheme:externalApplication:file"RDF:about="urn:scheme:externalApplication:file"
[01:46] <LeeJunFan> etfb: you could just change the alwaysAsk= to "true", then next time you try it'll ask which application to use as a filemanager.
[01:47] <etfb> LeeJunFan: Trying that now...
[01:49] <LeeJunFan> don't forget to close all open firefox before, or when you close it it will write over your changes.
[01:50] <etfb> LeeJunFan: Seems to be working!  Where's the "alwaysAsk" setting, tho?
[01:52] <etfb> Interestingly, it pops up with one option as the default - konqueror - but using it has no effect, almost as if I've set up something somewhere to refer to konqueror instead of /usr/bin/konqueror and it's not finding it in the path.
[01:52] <etfb> But manually entering the right path does work, so thanks!
[01:53] <LeeJunFan> etfb: no problem, once you've got that selected to the konqueror that works you can tell it to remember that.
[02:00] <Zerothis> LeeJunFan: never mind, i managed to get my device to recognise a CD-R/W drive on my USB-IDE cable.

[02:23] <kc8pxy> favro:  the first link seems to be the right option, but it doesn't fly for kubuntu(unless i am not reading the download menu right).  i don't see a link to a an alternate install,  unless you count the kde4 disk.

[02:26] <LordCrc> ok, bit silly question... running 8.04, i installed several apps, but i can only find them in the "start menu" by searching for them (say kdevelop)... where are they hiding? :)
[02:29] <mefisto__> did you just install them LordCrc?
[02:30] <freeRag> why isn't there a windows live usb creator ?

[02:40] <ken> is there a default password, because atm I just don't know the password.
[02:41] <LordCrc> ken: afaik use sudo everywhere, alternatively you can do sudo su or something along those lines
[02:42] <genii> Use sudo -i      instead

[02:49] <freeRag> can i skip some files so has to get more storage space available on the drive ?
[02:51] <mefisto__> LordCrc: try update-menus, or open kmenuedit (right-click the kmenu) and save. then check to see if the new apps are there

[02:52] <freeRag> can i use UNetbootin to install itrepid to USB drive ?

[05:05] <zerothis> genii:I'm lost in fdisk. it only lets me make primary and extended partitions automatic id , then I can change the id. I need p 82 linux and e 83 swap right?
[05:05] <genii> Yup
[05:05] <zerothis> how do i do that??
[05:06] <genii> t           then type in the partition number (1-4). Then type in the description number (82 or 83   etc)
[05:07] <genii> zerothis: You can use    p       after to check the changes
[05:08] <genii> zerothis: You can have 4 primary partitions
[05:14] <genii> zerothis: I'm not sure where you're currently at.  But the idea in fdisk is: delete whatever partitions existed previously. Then to make two partitions, one for system and one for swap. You can specify size of a partition in Mb or Gb by putting for instance M or G after a number when it asks for size. (else it goes to cylinders or such)
[05:14] <genii> zerothis: Then to make the one type 82 and swap type 83. Then to  use    w    to write the changes and exit. After that shold be able to format it
[05:15] <genii> !ping
[05:15] <ubottu> ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore
[05:15] <zerothis> eh, to complicated I'm just gonna make one big primary partition to get rid of windows then try the guided partitioning again. when in doubt blame windows. I'd bet 10 thousand dollars that once windows is go it works.
[05:15] <zerothis> ha, windows is gone and it worked!
[05:16] <genii> Good :)
[05:16] <zerothis> thanks, i've been away from linux too long. I forgot about fdisk

[05:50] <DarkriftX> how do i set a program to auto run on startup?
[05:50] <DarkriftX> gkrellm for example
[05:50] <favro> !autostart
[05:50] <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. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html

[05:53] <ahmos> hi, i've installed ffmpegthumbnailer ,but i still can't see video thumbnails
[05:53] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[05:53] <Linux_Galore> hmm kde 4.2 video on youboob
[05:54] <FuriousGeorge> kubuntu has a weird problem with my usb->ps/2 adapter...  for some reason, it doesnt work until i hit a key like capslock on another keyboard, or unless i boot the computer with the adapter already plugged in
[05:54] <FuriousGeorge> hmm, maybe i just need to hit capslock on the adapter...  that would be good enough
[05:55] <ahmos> so any help plz
[05:59] <FuriousGeorge> so i verified:  either i boot up with the adapter plugged in, or i have to hit the capslock key on another keyboard in order for the ps/2 keyboard in use with my usb adapter to work
[05:59] <FuriousGeorge> this is only the case in kubuntu.  when i use gentoo it just works
[06:00] <DarkriftX> see what happens in dmesg when you hit capslock
[06:00] <FuriousGeorge> DarkriftX: good idea
[06:00] <DarkriftX> maybe you can reproduce that effect
[06:00] <DarkriftX> also see if its picked up in dmesg when you plug it in (without caps lock pressed)
[06:02] <FuriousGeorge> DarkriftX: nothing there
[06:02] <DarkriftX> that sucks
[06:03] <FuriousGeorge> DarkriftX: tell me about it...  im thinking this has something to do with the larger problem:   adapter doesnt work at all with kubuntu-ltsp, but im not by that server to test, so this is what im stuck with

[08:10] <mlabitad> hi dave
[08:10] <dave__> hi
[08:14] <hosein-mec> which Office suite will be in Kubuntu 8.10 ? and also K3B 1.0.5 & Amarok 1.4.10 ??
[08:19] <Linux_Galore> OpenOffice 2.4
[08:19] <Jucato> 1. most likely OO.o 2. considering there has been no stable KDE 4 release for K3b or Amarok, most probably their KDE 3 versions
[08:19] <Jucato> (applies to KOffice as well)
[08:20] <Linux_Galore> can always update to the kde 4 version when it becomes stable
[08:21] <Linux_Galore> Jucato: I dont think kde 4 is going to be ready for Intrepid to be honest
[08:21] <hosein-mec> hope to include kde3 version of amarok & k3b , not same as kubuntu 8.04
[08:21] <stdin> Linux_Galore: KDE 3 is dead, it's not like we have much choice
[08:21] <Daisuke_Ido> Linux_Galore: what's the last version you used?
[08:21] <Linux_Galore> Jucato: Plasma isnt integrated with the apps yet
[08:21] <Jucato> Linux_Galore: too late for that. it's already the default
[08:21] <Jucato> Linux_Galore: "integrated with the apps"?
[08:22] <Linux_Galore> Jucato: doesnt even have drag and drop on the desktop yet
[08:22] <Daisuke_Ido> hosein-mec: the versions of amarok and k3b in 8.04 ARE the kde3 versions.
[08:22] <Jucato> O.o
[08:22]  * jussi01 reminds people that kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4 :)
[08:22] <Daisuke_Ido> Linux_Galore: what version of kde4 did you use?
[08:22] <Jucato> <Daisuke_Ido> Linux_Galore: what's the last version you used?
[08:22] <dave__> kubuntu is too gui
[08:22] <Linux_Galore> Jucato: drag an app from the menu to the desktop, doesnt work you have to do that from within konqueror etc

[08:24] <Daisuke_Ido> hosein-mec: what do you mean default
[08:24] <Jucato> Linux_Galore: because your example is not broken and finished :)
[08:24] <Daisuke_Ido> hosein-mec: because in kubuntu 8.04, the default is amarok and k3b's kde3 versions
[08:25] <hosein-mec> Daisuke_Ido: amarok & k3b there isnt in default installation of Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 REMIX
[08:25] <Linux_Galore> Jucato: you cant do basic drag and drop because the integration of plasma/desktop/menu's etc hasnt isnt finnished
[08:25] <Jucato> Linux_Galore: yes you can. since 4.0
[08:25] <Daisuke_Ido> that's because it's a strict kde4 release.

[08:26] <Jucato> dave__: check that you Focus Policy isn't  Focus Follows Mouse or something like that
[08:27] <Jucato> Linux_Galore: if that's how you believe it is, then I won't/can't spend my time convincing you otherwise
[08:27] <Daisuke_Ido> however, i doubt that amarok 2 will ever actually be "ready" - i'm really and truly convinced that the amarok dev team is purposely sabotaging amarok 2 by taking out every single thing that made it the best music app available and replacing it with monkey feces

[10:32] <adi> what is the alternative app in kubuntu to manage mtp devices?
[10:32] <adi> amarok is not working for me in kubuntu while in ubuntu with gnome I have sucsessfully used gnomad2
[10:33] <adi> so maybe there is something similiar for kde?
[10:33] <adi> anyone any idea?
[10:34] <andypls1> is GTK# something like windows forms , but for linux?
[10:37] <Jucato> andypls1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtk_Sharp and ask in #gtk perhaps
[10:37] <Jucato> (or if it's #gtk+)
[10:42] <adi> any alternative of gnomad2 for mtp devices for kde?
[10:43] <emilsedgh> adi: i think Amarok 1.4 works with those creative devices, take a look at amarok wiki on http://amarok.kde.org/wiki

[11:17] <pvandewy1gaerde> for the content of the dvd ?
[11:17] <JackWinter> yes.  the / is root:root, all the rest is 501:501.  the funny thing is that i can run a program in the root of it (install prg), but it can't access any subdirs

[11:58] <Rioting_pacifist> carefull when using aptitude i think that by defualt it brings alot of other stuff in aswell
[12:01] <Rioting_pacifist> how do i debug my suspend resume failing
[12:07] <JackWinter> hmm a quick question.  for some reason my system is slowly going down the drain.  i have a problem with kded using alot of cpu, now i regularly get errors in konqueror.  by trying to reinstall kde with apt-get install kde, i managed to lose some nice ui features which i can't get back to working.  my fstab is no longer correct after having installed xp and osx, i think fsck is giving an error on a filesystem.  so i'm coming to the conclusion that i might
[12:07] <JackWinter> be better off taking the windows route of wiping the kubuntu partition and reinstalling from scratch.  I have /home on a seperate partition.  any pitfalls i should be aware of ?  does Kontact keep anything in /var ?
[12:09] <favro> I would boot the live cd and run e2fsck -a
[12:10] <JackWinter> favro: does that check all the filesystems ?
[12:10] <Rioting_pacifist> JackWinter: im not sure, your kde problems might be caused by your /.kde which means reinstalling could not help
[12:10] <favro> that's what the -a is for
[12:11] <JackWinter> Rioting_pacifist: i could delete ~/.kde before reinstalling.  alternatively can i delete .kde and relogin ?
[12:12] <favro> that would be a good first option

[12:25] <tacosarecool> Ah I added inteprid then it installed kde 4
[12:25] <tacosarecool> darn it
[12:25] <ahox> I switched with 4.1.1, this is IMHO usable
[12:25] <ahox> thought, 3.5 still is a tack more stable
[12:26]  * geek kinda wonders how an update will go.. will it replace everything KDE3 with 4 or what?
[12:26] <JackWinter> afaik, it will be kde4
[12:26] <ahox> geek: currently it installs parallel to kde3.5 and it will also get its own home directory in .kde4
[12:27] <tacosarecool> In kde4 I don't like the way the top looks
[12:27] <geek> ahox: ooh. does that mean it won't show both kde3 and 4 apps in kmenu?
[12:27] <tacosarecool> It will
[12:27] <ahox> geek: It will
[12:27] <tacosarecool> Probably
[12:29] <JackWinter> argh, i really don't wanna reinstall my system...  maybe i'll just try to fix my probs one by one.  but no idea what to do with the kded racing problem, and new konqueror error msgs
[12:30] <afd___> hi guys! I've installed Intreprid and I'd like to have kde 3.5 running as well (as I'm not comfortable yet with kde 4.1). Is there a way to get it installed? I've searched through synaptic, enabled unsuported repository, but I couldn't get it to show up (except kdelibs 3.5.9)

[12:33] <geek> ahox: lol
[12:37] <MrKennie> afd___: for intrepid you should head to #ubuntu+1 and I afaik, there will be no official kde3 desktop in intrepid. It's moving on like everything else.
[12:38] <afd___> you'll pry kde 3.5 from my cold dead hands...
[12:38] <MrKennie> afd___: then stick with hardy
[12:38] <afd___> ok, thanks for letting me know about the plans...
[12:38] <tacosarecool> How do I remove intrepid
[12:39] <stdin> tacosarecool: you format and reinstall hardy
[12:40] <tacosarecool> Awe how do I remove ubuntu safely
[12:40] <tacosarecool> from the boot
[12:40] <tacosarecool> I mean kubuntu
[12:41] <stdin> to what, another Linux distro, Windows?
[12:41] <tacosarecool> no
[12:41] <tacosarecool> I'm dual booting
[12:41] <tacosarecool> currently
[12:41] <stdin> dual booting with what?
[12:41] <Pici> And you want to single boot to your other OS and get rid of *ubuntu?
[12:42] <tacosarecool> I'll reinstall ubuntu
[12:42] <tacosarecool> Of course
[12:42] <tacosarecool> kubuntu
[12:42] <MrKennie> tacosarecool: if you reinstall it will reinstall grub anyway
[12:42] <tacosarecool> I know
[12:42] <stdin> why are you dual booting ubuntu and kubuntu?
[12:42] <tacosarecool> But I wanna partition with acronis disk director
[12:43] <tacosarecool> I'm not
[12:43] <tacosarecool> I'm dual booting windows and kubuntu
[12:43] <JackWinter> anyone care to have a look at my fsck.log: http://pastebin.ca/1217888  I take that the first error msgs is because i reinstalled xp, and that the uuid in fstab is from the old xp partition.  what worries me more is the fsck died with exit status 1. /sda8 is my home partition...
[12:43] <Pici> tacosarecool: Can you rephrase your question in a sentence or two? I think we're all confused here.
[12:43] <tacosarecool> How do I remove kubuntu safetly from the boot menu
[12:44] <JackWinter> tacosarecool: which boot menu ?  grub ?
[12:44] <tacosarecool> yeah
[12:45] <JackWinter> you'll find the boot entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:45] <stdin> JackWinter: change the UUID in /etc/fstab to the current one reported by "blkid -c /dev/null" (may or may not need sudo)
[12:46] <moza> bonjour à tous
[12:46] <Rioting_pacifist> how do i debug my suspend/resume failing
[12:46] <moza> sorry in english here : "hello all"
[12:46] <stdin> tacosarecool: if you want to reinstall kubuntu then just install again as normal
[12:48] <tacosarecool> I said I wanted to partition with acronis so I wanna get rid of the old partition
[12:48] <tacosarecool> in windows
[12:50] <Rioting_pacifist> tacosarecool: if your looking to remove kubuntu then you need to use windows tools, i think you fix the mbr using fixmbr when using the xp install cd
[12:50] <tacosarecool> Can't I use easybcd
[12:52] <Rioting_pacifist> possibly the important thing is to make the mbr point to the windows bootmanager so that you dont see grub when you boot but the windows boot manager
[12:55] <JackWinter> stdin: does this fstab look ok ?  isn't there supposed to be a swap to ?  http://pastebin.ca/1217895
[12:57] <stdin> JackWinter: looks ok, there is usually a swap partition in there, but if "cat /proc/swaps" shows it then it's probably auto-detected
[12:59] <JackWinter> stdin: no, it's not there.  my swap partition was moved to sda9 when i repartitioned.
[13:00] <stdin> JackWinter: then add it's UUID or partition to fstab
[13:00] <stdin> "UUID=...  none  swap  sw  0  0"

[13:05] <moza> tacosarecool, ok, and then?
[13:05] <tacosarecool> then there's a icon tab
[13:05] <stdin> JackWinter: I think "UUID=... /media/sda3 hfsplus  uid=...,gid=... 0 0" is right for hsf+, but I've never used it so can't say. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions should help though
[13:05] <tacosarecool> You can change icon and preview size

[13:07] <tacosarecool> Yeah
[13:07] <tacosarecool> The views will be under file management
[13:07] <moza> and then is it : "previews and meta-data"?
[13:07] <tacosarecool> Just views
[13:07] <moza> i don't see "views"
[13:08] <moza> can you write for me the whole "path" from "setting" to what you want me to go ?

[13:25] <JackWinter> stdin: :) not sure how i do that.  but i could run swapon from parted and it was mounted.  but still no uuid.  think i repartitioned the disk from the knoppix live cd if that has any bearing...
[13:25] <eee> anyone konw howto get wirless card activate it on my acer complication PC?
[13:26] <mil> ok I found out I'm on 3.5.9 desktop environment.  How do I upgrade to 3.5.10?
[13:26] <eee> the problem is that Linux dosnt support exe file's
[13:26] <eee> soo i can't use it
[13:26] <JackWinter> mil: for the kernel uname -r
[13:27] <eee> msg me if you got some one like this or now how to fix
[13:27] <stdin> JackWinter: just because you created the partition doesn't necessarily mean it was formatted. but if swapon works maybe it is. you can just put "/dev/sda9 none swap sw 0 0" in as the swap line
[13:27] <JackWinter> eee: i think there is something called ndiswrapper that allows you to use a windows wifi driver
[13:27] <stdin> mil: enable hardy-backports
[13:27] <anger_> eee you must to install the drivers of your wireless card if the system do not recognize it.
[13:27] <mil> jack: thanks. I type that on Konsole?  what's the exact line?  sudo -r??
[13:28] <afeijo> there is a better app to RDP rather than KRDC?
[13:28] <mil> stdin: thanks do I enable that in the repositories?

[13:42] <anger_> Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:42] <etfb> JackWinter: I used to add medibuntu as the first step each time I installed a new Kubuntu, but I haven't needed it in Hardy.  Has something changed recently that made it less relevant?

[15:45] <jonathan__> hello!
[15:46] <jonathan__> i've a question :)
[15:46] <mc_> hi. I have kubuntu 7.04 and want to upgrade to 7,10  I downloaded: kubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso.  How to upgrade now?
[15:46] <eee> love this chatt room
[15:46] <jonathan__> i want to convert a whole directory with wma files into mp3 files without losing quality and id tags... is that possibly (with ffmpeg)??
[15:47] <alx54> mc_ if you want to use the iso version you have to burn it to a cd
[15:47] <jonathan__> why 7.10? you know that 8.04 is already available in stable version?
[15:47] <geek> you WILL lose quality when you trancode between two lossy tracks
[15:47] <jonathan__> hm
[15:47] <jonathan__> ok, can i do it allthough?
[15:48] <Pici> jonathan__: You cannot upgrade with the desktop CD, only the alternate.  Although if you have an internet connection on that computer it will probably be easier.
[15:48] <mc_> i need this version for mce
[15:48] <Pici> !upgrade | jonathan__ to follow these steps
[15:48] <ubottu> jonathan__ to follow these steps: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[15:48] <jonathan__> without losing id tags because it would be very hard to reenter all track datas to over 30 files
[15:48] <jonathan__> i dont want to upgrade!
[15:48] <jonathan__> say it to mc!
[15:49] <alx54> geek, Pici, eee ... does somebody know how to solve my prob?
[15:49] <alx54> everytime i copy sth from my usb-hdd, konqueror(or dolphin) informs me that he's unable to change the mode (or "rights", im not sure about the term cause i use german version)of the copied files... this is really annoying and i cant find out how to turn it off! pllzzz help ;D
[15:50] <jonathan__> what about the conversion from wma to mp3?
[15:50] <Pici> jonathan__: whoops.
[15:50] <alx54> jonathan__ i used transKode script for amarok
[15:50] <Pici> mc_: You cannot upgrade with the desktop CD, only the alternate.  Although if you have an internet connection on that computer it will probably be easier.
[15:50] <alx54> works pretty good, and tags stay

[16:06] <alx54> @geek but this isnt dangerous is it? as i understood it, the whole permission-stuff is for security reasons so that programs cant do what they want with whatever files they find right?

[22:20] <peace> is here anyone who can help with ati drivers?:))
[22:20] <HollowPoint> that depends on the problem peace
[22:20] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[22:21] <peace> whole day im trying something.. :)
[22:21] <FuriousGeorge> i have a tale of two distros (gentoo and kubuntu), and how they are handling ps/2 and usb hardware
[22:21] <FuriousGeorge> my understanding is that ps/2 barcode scanners are just like keyboards
[22:21] <FuriousGeorge> when i plug it into my gentoo servers, they are
[22:22] <FuriousGeorge> for some reason, in kubuntu they only work if there is a ps/2 keyboard on the adapter that is built into the barcode scanners wire
[22:22] <peace> hollowpoint my xorg.conf is very empty and i cant enable restricted drivers, i get black screen.. :)
[22:23] <FuriousGeorge> iow, the barcode scanner (which is ps/2) has a built in adapter, for people using usb keyboards...  in kubuntu the scanner only 'works' when that adapter is in use
[22:23] <FuriousGeorge> also, i have a ps/2 -> usb adapter
[22:23] <FuriousGeorge> in gentoo, again, just works
[22:23] <HollowPoint> peace: what graphics card and version of kubuntu are you using?
[22:24] <FuriousGeorge> in kubuntu it will only work if I hook another keyboard up to the server, and hit a key like caps lock
[22:24] <peace> kubuntu 8.04 kde 4 64bit.. video card - ati 3850 agp
[22:24] <FuriousGeorge> and back to the scanner, it never actually works in kubuntu...  even when it scans, it doest return the value on the barcode
[22:25] <favro> FuriousGeorge: do they have diff kernel versions - kubuntu and gentoo?
[22:25] <HollowPoint> peace: you will find a lot of problems with the ati restricted drivers on an AGP card and 64bit Linux
[22:26] <HollowPoint> ati drivers for linux have never been all that good, nor that easy to install, and on a 64bit OS that just gets even harder, you're probably going to have to install the 32 bit drivers and just force them to accept the 32bit architecture, which although not too big of a problem for some other programs it's not what I'd recommend for graphics drivers
[22:26] <FuriousGeorge> favro: 2 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP on kubuntu and 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 #2 SMP on gentoo
[22:26] <peace> is it possible to make it work normally? or i should go for kubuntu 32bit 8.04 kde4 ?:)
[22:27] <HollowPoint> peace: you'll probably have more luck with ease of install in 32 bit linux for that card
[22:27] <peace> are there other linux user friendly as ubuntu with ati support?
[22:28] <HollowPoint> you won't find anything easier no
[22:28] <favro> FuriousGeorge: it's prob a config setting in the kernel - I say "prob"
[22:28] <HollowPoint> Ubuntu is by far the most user friendly distro and easiest to install proprietary drivers etc
[22:28] <peace> i see that.. :)
[22:29] <NickPresta> peace, check out OpenSuse if you like. It is very user friendly, albeit different in some aspects
[22:29] <peace> well i tried ubuntu gutsy a year ago..wasnt been able to install ati there too..
[22:29] <HollowPoint> give Mandriva a try though, that seems to be excellent at installing graphics/Xorg drivers without too much intervention
[22:30] <HollowPoint> OpenSuse is one of the most ridiculous distros ever IMHO, I'm a 3rd line I.T. engineer and specialise in Linux and I've never used something so set in it's ways and tied up, if you don't do it the SUSE way then you just can't do it. - This of course is only my opinion and should not be taken as fact.
[22:31] <peace> you mean opensuse is easy and flexible or i should go strickly by her to get what i want? - im not good at english :)
[22:31] <HollowPoint> OpenSUSE is NOT flexible nor easy lol
[22:32] <HNSZ> CAn I get an md5 hash for kubunut?
[22:32] <favro> !md5
[22:32] <ubottu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[22:32] <HollowPoint> a lot of people use it but I personally think those who do use it fondly are not particularly good with any other Linux distro than SUSE
[22:33] <HNSZ> favro: Great thanks.
[22:33] <peace> so mandriva is a better choice to try? :)
[22:33] <NickPresta> HollowPoint, OpenSuse 11.0 is very easy. I don't know what problems you had...
[22:33] <HollowPoint> my personal opinion says yes
[22:34] <HollowPoint> NickPresta: it uses a version of KDE4 that just wasn't ready for release for a start, Yast is the most dire piece of programming I've ever seen, dropping to the command line for hacking has never been more difficult than in that distro and like I said before if you don't do it the SUSE way, then you just can't do it
[22:34] <NickPresta> HollowPoint, and for a newbie that knows no way of doing something, why is that a problem?
[22:34] <HollowPoint> after a couple of hours using SUSE and trying to like it I gave up and decided I just couldn't be bothered wasting my time, I could get further with a Gentoo command line installation in the same time period
[22:35] <Vermux> Ive just installed kubuntu 8.04. how do I install java and flash so I can surf the www with no problem?
[22:35] <NickPresta> HollowPoint, for a power user, sure, Yast is annoying. For someone that just started with Linux, Yast is familiar and helpful...
[22:35] <NickPresta> !flash | Vermux
[22:35] <ubottu> Vermux: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[22:35] <HollowPoint> NickPresta: I personally don't recommend SUSE for beginners because it's just as bad as Microsoft at getting people to learn IT and nothing else about it, then they struggle to move on
[22:35] <NickPresta> !java > Vermux
[22:35] <ubottu> Vermux, please see my private message
[22:35] <peace> vermux go for firefox :) + kubuntu restricted extras
[22:36] <NickPresta> HollowPoint, I'm not here to argue whether or not it is best for a newbie to learn something from the ground up or not. I'm simply telling peace that he could give Suse a try and don't exclude it because other people tell him to
[22:36] <NickPresta> :)
[22:37] <peace> personally im a bit tired of choosing linux..so i wont give many different tries..
[22:37] <HollowPoint> think about this.....You're a brand new user who's never used Linux before, you think after a few days of using Yast you could move on to other Linux distros easily without starting to learn all over again? I say this because I know for sure that people can do exactly that from Ubuntu
[22:37] <peace> well..i guess i will go someday to my uncle pc - it has mandriva and ill try to look at it closely
[22:37] <NickPresta> peace, suit yourself. That is one of the perks of GNU+Linux; choice!

[22:42] <peace> hollow you have nvidia card?
[22:42] <HollowPoint> "sudo apt-get install firefox flashplugin-nonfree java" should install everything you need to run Firefox and get around the web without seing horrid non compatible errors
[22:42] <NickPresta> master_, tell me when it stops running and what the output is
[22:43] <HollowPoint> peace:  yes I have an older 7600GT PCi-X card, I'm re-builing my PC over the next few weeks so will be upgrading
[22:44] <master_> NickPresta: it stopped running and looks like it fixed the problem.. the last few lines look like this: No CIDSupplement specified for Dotum-Bold, defaulting to 0.
[22:44] <peace> in other channel im waiting for few guys who are good with ati.. although im not sure i will will catch them

[22:44] <HollowPoint> I'm sure you can pick up an Nvidia AGP card somewhere peace, don't get me wrong I've just installed our company laptop with Kubuntu and ATi restricted drivers but it's 32bit Linux and not AGP
[22:44] <master_> but, my icon on the lower right for updates is now gone... so, how can i get those patches?

[23:02] <Rakko> Hi. I want to check out something that uses compiz or a similar eye-candy sort of window/compositing manager. Does Kubuntu have something comparable to compiz out of the box? (I know, lame, but I'm curious as to how it looks)
[23:03] <Rakko> (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that compiz is a GNOME thing)
[23:03] <HollowPoint> if you go to add/remove packages and type compiz you'll be able to select the compiz packages, check out #compiz for more or google "How to install compiz kubuntu" for a how to guide
[23:04] <Rakko> So KDE works with compiz?
[23:04] <HollowPoint> not at all Rakko you can use Compiz in KDE just as easily
[23:04] <Rakko> cool :)
[23:04] <Rakko> Does KDE still use kwin by default? Does it do compositing?
[23:05] <HollowPoint> KDE4 does have SOME compositing by default and yes KDE3.5.9 still uses Kwin
[23:05] <Rakko> What WM does KDE4 use?
[23:06] <NickPresta> Rakko, kwin4
[23:06] <HollowPoint> I believe it's an updated version of kwin but I haven't used it much so not sure, #KDE4 has more info
[23:06] <peace> rakko you like gnome? :)
[23:06] <Rakko> no
[23:06] <Rakko> ok
[23:07] <NickPresta> kwin does some transparency stuff
[23:07] <NickPresta> KDE4 has a lot of sexy stuff ;)
[23:07] <tacosarecool> Hey nick is there a way to downgrade from kde4
[23:07] <Rakko> I mean GNOME is ok but I've always prefered KDE
[23:07] <Rakko> Is KDE4 stable yet?
[23:07] <tacosarecool> I sorta installed intrepid didn't know it was a development branch
[23:07] <Rakko> I tried a beta back in May but it was buggy
[23:07] <jussi01> !ot
[23:07] <ubottu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[23:08] <HollowPoint> KDE4.1 is stable Rakko but it just isn't as configurable as 3.5.9 yet
[23:08] <NickPresta> Rakko, KDE 4.1.1 is fairly stable. I'm using it everyday and I've yet to have a problem. #kubuntu-kde4 can give you more specific support
[23:08] <jussi01> also, kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4
[23:08] <Rakko> yay
[23:08] <NickPresta> jussi01, :)
[23:08] <Rakko> thanks
[23:08] <peace> im trying to make it stable :D but its hard..
=== Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir
[23:08] <tacosarecool> But I'm sorta in the middle I want to downgrade to kde3
[23:09] <jussi01> tacosarecool: its less than a month till intrepid fully comes out
[23:09] <tacosarecool> Officially?
[23:09] <HollowPoint> I installed the beta in a VM yesterday and have to say I was impressed
[23:10] <jussi01> tacosarecool: officially, yes
[23:11] <tacosarecool> Will it use kde4 only?
[23:11] <jussi01> yes
[23:11] <HollowPoint> by default it uses kde4 yes
[23:11] <HollowPoint> I would imagine that will be a way to install kde 3.x.x though? anyone know different?
[23:11] <jussi01> HollowPoint: Id suggest asking in #ubuntu+1
[23:12] <HollowPoint> lol not interested enough to go ask jussi01
[23:12] <HollowPoint> I'll probably do a direct upgrade from this 64bit 8.04 system anyway so no doubt I'll be able to keep my kde3.5.9 in place as an option
=== noether is now known as bascule
[23:13] <tacosarecool> Oh okj
[23:13] <tacosarecool> So
[23:13] <tacosarecool> It's ok to have it
[23:13] <tacosarecool> I have multiple entry's though
[23:13] <peace> how to get xorg configured correctly? :)
[23:14] <peace> nevermind :)
[23:15] <HollowPoint> you sorted it peace?
[23:15] <peace> haha i log out and i wasnt been able to get back..so i had to restart pc.. i cant complete installing ati because my xorg is too empty..it doesnt have lines and maybe something more..
[23:16] <peace> still there is another method so i can try that one now :D
[23:16] <peace> it will be 5th guide :)
[23:16] <HollowPoint> I still think 32 bit Kubuntu or Mandriva would be a better idea than 64 bit but sounds like you're having fun working this out :D
[23:17] <peace> im quite interesting person.. :D
[23:17] <HollowPoint> lol
[23:17] <peace> i depend on how i feel :D
[23:17] <peace> i had pretty sux days before.. :)
