| [00:58] <jeisma> but what packages do i need to program and compile and run perl scripts? | |
| [00:58] <soulrider> NickPresta: nope | |
| [00:59] <ahmos> !java | |
| [00:59] <ubotu> 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. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. | |
| [00:59] <NickPresta> soulrider, you might want to check out getopt or optparse (OO "version"). It replaces you whole parameters while block. We can discuss this in #kubuntu-offtopic if you want. | |

| [00:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about perl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |

| [01:24] <biovore> replace with kdesu kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | |
| [01:24] <biovore> what goes in blacklist should be the same | |
| [01:24] <biovore> or install gedit :-P | |

| [01:48] <redshadowhero> So, Kubuntu 8.04 is going to come with KDE 4, right? | |
| [01:48] <Odd-rationale> redshadowhero: I believe so | |
| [01:48] <Odd-rationale> redshadowhero: It may not be LTS though | |
| [01:48] <ignoramus> hey all. does anyone know why some apps (i'm looking at you, Ktorrent) overlap the kicker panel, so that I can't see the bottom of the app's display? I can hide kicker to see, but it shouldn't be like that, amirite? | |
| [01:50] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: It is like that for me... | |
| [01:51] <ignoramus> odd-rationale: doesn't that drive you nuts? | |
| [01:51] <redshadowhero> Oh, I see. | |
| [01:51] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: I just position the window higher... | |
| [01:51] <redshadowhero> Is that going to cause any problems come April? | |
| [01:51] <NickPresta> No, Hardy is not being shipped with KDE 4.0 | |
| [01:52] <Odd-rationale> NickPresta: WHAT! | |
| [01:52] <Daisuke_Ido> NickPresta: isn't the whole thing that 3.5.8 won't be supported for the full 3-year LTS span, so it won't be an LTS release? | |
| [01:52] <Daisuke_Ido> or rather, the 3.5 branch in general | |
| [01:52] <Daisuke_Ido> Odd-rationale: there's no reason for a desktop distro to ship with kde 4.0 | |
| [01:52] <Dragnslcr> Last I heard, KDE4 will be available in the standard repositories for 8.04, but it won't be the default on the normal installation media | |
| [01:53] <Daisuke_Ido> even kde devs have said that 4.0 is a dev release for the most part, and that users should wait for 4.1 | |
| [01:53] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: with my poor vision, i need that crap maximized! There's gotta be a way for apps to respect Kicker's authoritar. Screen for those who haven't dealt with this > http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapbi5.png | |
| [01:54] <NickPresta> Dragnslcr, you're correct | |
| [01:54] <Odd-rationale> but the kde website said that it will have kde 4 http://kde.org/download/ | |
| [01:55] <NickPresta> It doesn't say 8.04 is the default. :) | |
| [01:55] <Odd-rationale> : | |
| [01:55] <Odd-rationale> ( | |
| [01:56] <NickPresta> Odd-rationale, you can still install KDE 4.0 at your leisure. It just isn't going to be the default. Releasing an LTS with KDE 4.0 doesn't seem like a wise idea. | |
| [01:56] <ignoramus> launchpad has Hardy listed as "KDE4" > https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-hardy-kde4 | |
| [01:56] <Daisuke_Ido> Odd-rationale: you're still free to install it, i don't understand why you're going all sad-faced | |
| [01:56] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: It looks like that when you maximize? | |
| [01:56] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: yup | |
| [01:57] <Odd-rationale> Daisuke_Ido: Will I have to uninstall kde 3? | |
| [01:57] <NickPresta> Someone could always ask in #ubuntu+1 if they are unsure and want to hear the answer from the horses mouth :) | |
| [01:57] <Daisuke_Ido> ignoramus: yes, that's to get kde 4 *ready* for hardy. it is not the default, will not be the default, and most certainly *should not* be the default | |
| === Absurdo-zleep is now known as Absurdo | |
| [01:57] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: I have the "hide" option on the right side of the panel for apps like this, but it's friggin annoying | |
| [01:57] <Daisuke_Ido> Odd-rationale: if it's like it is now, no, you can have both side by side | |
| [01:57] <Dr_willis> My wife likes the comiz zoom feature - to let her see things zoomed in. :) | |
| [01:58] <ignoramus> daisuke_ido: you're probably right... btw, anyone who's not a dev or kde master will probably have a tough time with KDE4 in the state its in right now (very rough) | |
| [01:58] * Dr_willis seconds;s ignoramus ;s oponiion :) | |
| [01:59] <Odd-rationale> Will there be an option to install kde 4 on installation? or will it have to be post-install like it is now? | |
| [01:59] * Daisuke_Ido thirds it | |
| [01:59] <ignoramus> dr_willis: it shows great promise, but definitely not ready as a "stable" release | |
| [01:59] <Daisuke_Ido> Odd-rationale: post-install | |
| [01:59] <Daisuke_Ido> just like you're not given the option to install gnome or kde on install | |
| [01:59] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: check Adept- you should have all the stuff right there... but don't say you weren't warned ;) | |
| [02:00] <Daisuke_Ido> there's a single option depending on what iso you download. | |
| [02:00] * Odd-rationale doesn't want LTS; he wants KDE 4. | |
| [02:00] <NickPresta> Odd-rationale, you can stay with Gutsy :) | |
| [02:00] <Dr_willis> Yea - Ubuntiu dosent seem to follow the 'lets ask a lot of questions at install to let the user customize things' approach. | |
| [02:00] <Daisuke_Ido> you certainly live up to your nick | |
| [02:01] <ignoramus> Daisuke_Ido: are you talking to me? what'd i say? | |
| [02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> Dr_willis: but in the end i think that helps new users a whole lot | |
| [02:01] <DreadKnight> btw, when is 4.0.1 out? | |
| [02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> ignoramus: nooooo | |
| [02:01] * Dr_willis waits for service pack 1 for KDE4 | |
| [02:01] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> not you :D | |
| [02:01] <ignoramus> aha :) | |
| [02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> Odd-rationale :) | |
| [02:01] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: I already tried kde 4. It is still buggy. But in a couple months it should be quite solid. 4.1 comes out only like two months after... | |
| [02:01] <Daisuke_Ido> 4.1 in what, june? | |
| [02:01] <Odd-rationale> Daisuke_Ido: I'm glad you like my nick. :) | |
| [02:01] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: so i don't get what you're asking... what are you trying to accomplish? | |
| [02:02] <DreadKnight> no point for that, the end of the world is in may xD | |
| [02:02] <Daisuke_Ido> i can see it being default by *maybe* 8.10, more likely 9.04 | |
| [02:02] <Daisuke_Ido> DreadKnight: impossible, the end of the world isn't until december 2012 | |
| [02:02] <DreadKnight> :D | |
| [02:03] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: sorry didn;t mean to adress just you.. | |
| [02:04] <DreadKnight> 4.0.1 should be out in about 2 days right? | |
| [02:05] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: believe me, people will answer no matter what :), but I don't understand what you want - you said you've already tried KDE4, but you're asking how to get it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding? | |
| [02:06] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: Just replying to your comment to be warned before hand. I know by expereince. :) | |
| [02:06] <ignoramus> Odd-rationale: so how long until you uninstalled? I think I made it a full day before I realized it was way too buggy, and many of my favorite options weren't there... | |
| [02:07] <DreadKnight> omg xD | |
| [02:07] <Daisuke_Ido> i personally haven't uninstalled it | |
| [02:07] <Odd-rationale> ignoramus: about the same | |
| [02:07] <DreadKnight> i used it for ... um.. weeks up until today xD | |
| [02:07] <Daisuke_Ido> so i'm still pulling updates, and should get the upgrades around the time i should | |
| [02:08] <ignoramus> Daisuke_Ido: how do you run KDE 3.5.8 without uninstalling 4? | |
| [02:08] <Dr_willis> I just selected kde4 in the kdm menu | |
| [02:08] <Dr_willis> or kde3 | |
| [02:08] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, it's just a session selection | |
| [02:08] <ignoramus> oh! well, i feel stupid :P | |
| [02:08] <Daisuke_Ido> however, i don't use kde on here | |
| [02:09] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [02:09] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm a gnomie on my desktop | |
| [02:09] <ignoramus> i was surprised on how much space it took up | |
| [02:09] <DreadKnight> hardy has sorting for kde3 / kde 4 apps in the menu, like when running kde3, you get a suffix for the KDE4 apps :) | |
| [02:09] <Dr_willis> testing out ubuntu+1 here this week. :) | |
| [02:09] <ignoramus> ubuntu+1??? | |
| [02:09] <DreadKnight> hardy | |
| [02:09] <Dr_willis> We are getting wayyyyyy too much clutter in the menus these days. :) | |
| [02:10] <DreadKnight> i've tried hardy the last few days | |
| [02:10] <Dr_willis> not near as bad as my vista machine is getting. | |
| [02:10] <ignoramus> dr_willis: don't tell that to Linus! | |
| [02:10] <Dr_willis> Im thinking a sorting of KDE stuff in one submenu, and gnome in another.. would help me. :) | |
| [02:10] <Odd-rationale> Dr_willis: You can do the btw | |
| [02:11] <Dr_willis> Then i guess ya got 'other' menu :) | |
| [02:11] <Daisuke_Ido> gnome helps me keep things uncluttereded | |
| [02:11] <Odd-rationale> Dr_willis: I saw a sript that does exactly that. | |
| [02:11] <Dr_willis> #1 thing i like about the gnome menus. is i can disable the icons. I dont need icons nest to the program names.. i can read the names. | |
| [02:11] <Dr_willis> heh | |
| [02:11] <DreadKnight> O_o | |
| [02:11] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm just thrilled to have finally found a gui-based program to check and repair using par2 volumes | |
| [02:12] * genii illiterately peers for the familiar icons | |
| [02:12] <Dr_willis> Ihavent messed with par files in ages. | |
| [02:12] <Daisuke_Ido> haven't been on usenet for ages? :) | |
| [02:12] <Dr_willis> Ive not been on the newsgroups much lately :) | |
| [02:12] <Dr_willis> Easier to find what i want with torrents. | |
| [02:13] <ignoramus> dr_willis: are usenet groups still pay-by-month? | |
| [02:13] <Dr_willis> Gotta love downloading 100 rar' and 100 pars to make a zip, of an isu. | |
| [02:13] <Daisuke_Ido> ignoramus: it all depends | |
| [02:13] <Dr_willis> ignoramus, not at my isp. | |
| [02:13] <Odd-rationale> I probably shouldn't aks this here, but what is the best distro with kde 4 atm? | |
| [02:13] <Dr_willis> theres free ones and comercial ones last i looked | |
| [02:13] <DreadKnight> Odd-rationale: kubuntu ... or opensuse i guess | |
| [02:13] <Daisuke_Ido> my isp's newsserver's included, most free ones are terrible, expect to pay around $25 for full unlimited access | |
| [02:13] <Dr_willis> Odd-rationale, I was thinking the kde4 site has a weekly livecd build - but not sure what its based on. | |
| [02:13] <ignoramus> dr_willis: hmm... always checking out new ways to obtain, um, files... i've heard good things about DCC+ (i think its called that) | |
| [02:14] <Dr_willis> ignoramus, dcc is annoying in ways | |
| [02:14] <Daisuke_Ido> directconnect is a joke | |
| [02:14] <DreadKnight> ignoramus: dc++ | |
| [02:14] <ignoramus> Daisuke_Ido: not worth it | |
| [02:14] <ignoramus> yeah, thats it... no good, eh? | |
| [02:14] <Daisuke_Ido> not for me | |
| [02:14] <ignoramus> Daisuke_Ido: slow? | |
| [02:15] <DreadKnight> i like dc++ very nice for getting a song or two :P etc | |
| [02:15] <Daisuke_Ido> slow, required share amounts, and i could never get it working properly | |
| [02:15] <ignoramus> DreadKnight: you should check out skreemr.com - http-style :) | |
| [02:15] <Daisuke_Ido> DreadKnight: and there's where you would want to look into something like soulseek (nicotine in linux) | |
| [02:15] <DreadKnight> dc++ is the fastest if you join local hubs (i get a couple of mb's speed) | |
| [02:15] <Daisuke_Ido> and this is all so so so very... | |

| [02:16] <ignoramus> thanks for the help, guys. going for cognac. be back tomorrow | |
| [02:17] <DreadKnight> cognac? O_o | |
| [02:17] <DreadKnight> erm | |
| [02:17] <ignoramus> yeah, i get that a lot | |
| [02:17] <DreadKnight> don't know what that is | |
| [02:17] <DreadKnight> :D | |

| [02:18] <dm_edge> hi everyone, Is there anyone here that knows how to solve network problems in kubuntu? I've been trying for hours to set up my network connection though nothing works. There was an internet connection once after installation, and after installing nvidia drivers I couldn't get an IP address by DHCP ever again, does anyone have an idea? I'm running kubuntu 7, and using admtek card (wired network) | |
| [02:23] <flying> [10:22] <flying> Don`t trust Knetworkmanager,it displayed nothing.Use ping command. | |

| [02:31] <ol_dude67> Makuseru, what burn process are you using? | |
| [02:31] <Makuseru> ol_dude67: i dont want to burn it, i just need it to be an ISO so a program can use it | |
| [02:32] <ol_dude67> Makuseru, i see, sorry cant help you there. | |
| [02:32] <frank23> Makuseru: try cdi2iso | |

| [02:35] <heinkel_111> I need a java runtime environmnet for some web application, but which package to install? I am confused about choices. PS: I do not hack java.... | |
| [02:36] <heinkel_111> will FreeJava work with "normal" websites | |
| [02:36] <Dr_willis> heinkel_111, install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. it shoul dinstall java and some other bits you want | |
| [02:36] <heinkel_111> ? | |
| [02:36] <hemanathan> hi | |
| [02:36] <ol_dude67> heinkel_111, http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp | |
| [02:36] <Dr_willis> Depends on the site :) | |
| [02:36] <madik> erick: theres a bunch of possibilities | |
| [02:36] <Dr_willis> Install that -extras package and you should be et. | |
| [02:37] <Dr_willis> set | |
| [02:37] <frank23> heinkel_111: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | |
| [02:37] <Dr_willis> sell except for the flash disaster. | |
| [02:37] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [02:37] <heinkel_111> Dr_Willis: oh yes, this is for airlines, banks and such stuff | |
| [02:37] <heinkel_111> totally boring but i need it to just work | |
| [02:37] <ol_dude67> flash is easy if you install by hand, other wise i think your screwed still. | |
| [02:37] <Dr_willis> heinkel_111, install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. it installs the actual sun java stuff. | |
| [02:38] <heinkel_111> DR_willis: does it also attempt to install flash? | |
| [02:38] <heinkel_111> because i have working flash...don't want it destroyed | |
| [02:38] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: it does | |
| [02:38] <heinkel_111> can i stop it from doing that, interactively somehow? | |
| [02:38] <ol_dude67> if its installed already by hand it shouldnt...no guaranties. | |
| [02:39] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: not sure about reinstalling... if you got the flash package checked it shouldn't reinstall it ... | |
| [02:39] <heinkel_111> hmm. the kubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage, right? | |
| [02:39] <DreadKnight> right | |
| [02:39] <Dr_willis> It dident affect my flash that i saw. then again flashis easy to fix. :) | |
| [02:40] <heinkel_111> so I could just list the components and go a la carte? | |
| [02:40] <madik> oui | |
| [02:40] <Dr_willis> it dosent do that. but if you got flash working.. it shouldent try to reinstall it. | |
| [02:40] <madik> but they are all quite useful | |
| [02:40] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: you could "check" the metapackage and uncheck the flash if it's on the list | |
| [02:41] <DreadKnight> in adept | |
| [02:41] <Makuseru> !epsxe | |
| [02:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about epsxe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |
| [02:41] <heinkel_111> i have to admit to being a command line apt fan now :-) | |
| [02:41] <DreadKnight> :) | |
| [02:42] <ubuntu> is it possible to log into a KDE4 session on the Hardy alpha 4 live cd? | |
| [02:42] <DreadKnight> ubuntu: as far as i remember kde4 isn't installed by default.. hmm | |
| [02:42] <Dr_willis> I normally just grab an unofficial fixed flash deb at --> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | |
| [02:42] <frank23> Makuseru: epsxe is a pain to setup with all the plugins | |
| [02:43] <Dr_willis> But thats proberly not a reccomended way to fix it. :) | |
| [02:43] <Dr_willis> epsxe can be a pain. :) | |
| [02:43] <Makuseru> frank23: yes, yes it is | |
| [02:43] <Dr_willis> But its nice when you find a plugin that does just what you need. | |
| [02:43] <madik> Dr_willis: what ist fixed in this deb? myspace? | |
| [02:43] <Makuseru> i cant get it to work ATM | |
| [02:43] <Dr_willis> madik, it actually installs properly. :) | |
| [02:43] <mith_> hi...how can i create a x11 cursor theme? | |
| [02:44] <DreadKnight> Rambo. John Rambo. | |
| [02:44] <madik> and plays myspace-audio? | |
| [02:44] <heinkel_111> Hi guys, in a metapackage, are the "real packages" listed as "recommends" ? | |
| [02:44] <Dr_willis> X11 uses one set of pointers for the mouse, KDE has its own set, and GNOME has yet another set. :) | |
| [02:44] <Dr_willis> I would say check kde-look.org for example mouse cursor themes. | |
| [02:45] <heinkel_111> I can't see any required packages in the kubuntu-restricted-extras package | |
| [02:45] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: definetly not | |
| [02:45] <mith_> i can download a lot on kde-look, but i want to make my own...or try to make my own :) | |
| [02:45] <madik> heinkel_111: no. its "depends" | |
| [02:45] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: just fire up adept :) sudo adept_manager for the command line maniac in you xD | |
| [02:45] <Dr_willis> mith_, take one . Look at it. :) and how its laid out. | |
| [02:45] <Dr_willis> mith_, then change it. :) | |
| [02:45] <ubuntu> It's a shame Kubuntu doesn't come with any graphics editing tools by default | |
| [02:45] <ubuntu> :/ | |
| [02:46] <Dr_willis> ubuntu, a simple apt-get install gimp and there ya go. | |
| [02:46] <frank23> Makuseru: how far did you get with epsxe? | |
| [02:46] <madik> cause its so hard to install one later, ubuntu? | |
| [02:46] <DreadKnight> ubuntu: it will soon ;) when koffice2 is out i guess :) krita | |
| [02:46] <ubuntu> totally missing the point there kids | |
| [02:46] <Dr_willis> do we need a kimp? :) | |
| [02:46] <Dr_willis> ubuntu, the cd is as full as it can be.. somthing has to go. | |
| [02:46] * Jucato wonders what he walked into... | |
| [02:46] <Makuseru> frank23: it isntalled and i got all the plugins installed, but when i try to open an ISO i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54803/ | |
| [02:46] <DreadKnight> Dr_willis: krita rullz | |
| [02:46] <heinkel_111> DreadKnight: you must be wrong...look here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54804/ <--- no "required" packages | |
| [02:46] <Dr_willis> DreadKnight, not tried that one. Im ok in gimp skills. | |
| [02:47] <heinkel_111> and btw i see some others saw that in the meantime while i was pasting and binnning.... | |
| [02:47] <Jucato> Dr_willis: there was a kimp project before iirc.... but it died quite fast irrc too | |
| [02:47] <Dr_willis> Theres 'talk' about the next release taking up 2 cd's - but i dont think thats going to happen. | |
| [02:47] <DreadKnight> Dr_willis: it rather better as in feature... still laks some community userbase and polishness | |
| [02:47] <DreadKnight> heinkel_111: :) | |
| [02:47] <ubuntu> DreadKnight: koffice2 is due out at the end april, but I hope that at least a release candidate or something lands into Kubuntu 8.04 | |
| [02:47] <Dr_willis> DreadKnight, i Miss good old Deluxe Paint. | |
| [02:47] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [02:48] <frank23> Makuseru: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550304 look here and do the step about upx | |
| [02:49] <DreadKnight> ubuntu: sudo apt-get install koffice or koffice2 (which is alpha 6 = crappy atm) | |
| [02:49] <DreadKnight> kde4 has some sort of Mspaint tool in it | |
| [02:49] <ubuntu> I know how to install Krita and that, but it should totally be there already | |
| [02:50] <Jucato> ubuntu: I don't think they're on schedule... Jan. 30 is supposed to be Beta 1... none so far | |
| [02:50] <DreadKnight> ubuntu: agree :\ | |
| [02:50] <Makuseru> frank23: "upx-ucl-beta is already the newest version." | |
| [02:50] <frank23> Makuseru: and you have decompressed the epsxe binary? | |
| [02:51] <frank23> Makuseru: had you done that before already? | |
| [02:52] <Makuseru> epsxe opens | |
| [02:52] <Makuseru> i can edit all the options and such | |

| [04:10] <foibles> hello | |
| [04:17] <jeisma> sherl0k how do i run "alsamixer" in the terminal? what do i type specifically | |
| [04:17] <sherl0k> alsamixer ? | |
| [04:18] <jeisma> yhes | |
| [04:18] <sherl0k> that's all you run | |
| [04:18] <sherl0k> if it's not there, install alsa-utils | |
| [04:18] <jeisma> i just type "alsamixer" in the terminal? | |

| [04:19] <sherl0k> from the looks of that error, it shows you have no sound card installed | |

| [04:20] <jeisma> i had vista on it | |
| [04:20] <jeisma> and sound worked perfectly yesterday | |
| [04:20] <sherl0k> is it a new PC? | |

| [04:23] <NickPresta> foibles, I have a LiveCD beside me. I've yet to try it though. | |
| [04:23] <jeisma> well sherl0k would it help if i gave you some wbesites that tried to show me how to make sound work on the same laptop i have | |
| [04:23] <jeisma> cause i tried following their instrucitons | |

| [04:23] <jeisma> sherl0k http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664353 | |
| [04:23] <sherl0k> i would find out the manufacturer of the sound card and check their website for help | |
| [04:23] <foibles> NickPresta, where did you get the livecd? | |
| [04:23] <jeisma> because other people have had the same problems, but they got it to work | |
| [04:23] <foibles> i ordered a copy of it, but its not live, which is somewhat lame | |

| [05:02] <kiefer_> How do I change my default file browser from dolphin? | |
| [05:02] <alexbe01> !dolphin | |
| [05:02] <ubotu> Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | |
| [05:02] <unagi> why woul du wanna do that | |
| [05:02] <unagi> ew konq | |
| [05:02] <alexbe01> unagi: because d3lphin is terrible. | |
| [05:02] <unagi> whats wrong with it | |
| [05:02] <kiefer_> its overly complilacted | |
| [05:03] <alexbe01> dolphin (the version in kde 4) is quite nice | |
| [05:03] <Jucato> that's a first :) | |
| [05:03] <kiefer_> complicated* | |
| [05:03] <Jucato> Dolphin > Konqueror > D3lphin... | |
| [05:03] <stunatra> Dolphin is a bit slower than Konq. | |
| [05:03] <alexbe01> d3lphin is based on an outdated branch and is woefully behind, not to mention ugly and unwieldy | |
| [05:03] <unagi> konq is slow to me | |
| [05:03] <unagi> and it doesnt want to browse the internet | |
| [05:03] <unagi> dolphin looks rpetty to me | |
| [05:03] <alexbe01> unagi: we're talking about a file manager, not a browser | |
| [05:03] <Jucato> then there's something terrible wrong if Konq doesn't want to browse :) | |
| [05:04] <kiefer_> So how do I change my default to konq? | |
| [05:04] <Jucato> kiefer_: look above | |
| [05:04] <kiefer_> oh, silly me, thanks :) | |

| [05:04] <unagi> are you telling me that konq isnt listed in kubuntu as a web browser? | |
| [05:04] <Daisuke_Laptop> it is | |
| [05:05] <Daisuke_Laptop> but we're talking about using it as the default file manager | |
| [05:05] <Daisuke_Laptop> we're not even close to discussing it as a web browser | |
| [05:05] <Daisuke_Laptop> i have my issues with it - until it handles gmail correctly, i won't touch it - but that's neither here nor there | |

| [06:37] <unagi> does kubuntu automatically have expresscard support | |

| [06:38] <unagi> geez........is expresscard really that unknown | |
| [06:38] <virnik> huh | |
| [06:38] <virnik> sure it have | |
| [06:38] <virnik> another question | |
| [06:38] <virnik> does somebody successfully modified kubuntu to kill compiz before hibernation? | |
| [06:38] <ross_> Is anyone using MySql.Data.dll to connect to MySql in MonoDevelop? | |
| [06:38] <jussi01> !anyone | |
| [06:38] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | |
| [06:39] <virnik> it really pains me to ass, when I have to kill compiz before hibernate | |
| [06:39] <virnik> jussi01: nice, but this one is real question, do u have problem with that? | |
| [06:39] <virnik> if u cant answer, just do not react | |
| [06:40] <jussi01> virnik: it was directed at ross_ | |
| [06:40] <virnik> hmmm | |
| [06:40] <Jucato> virnik: you can try asking in #compiz-fusion | |
| [06:40] <virnik> anyway | |
| [06:41] <virnik> this is #kubuntu | |
| [06:41] <virnik> and I am using kubuntu | |
| [06:41] <Jucato> !compiz | |
| [06:41] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | |
| [06:41] <virnik> so I am asking here...by the common logic | |
| [06:41] <Jucato> yes, and we try to point you to the place where you might be able to get better help. | |
| [06:41] <virnik> cos I need inf about script which is run by pressing hibernate from the shutdown menu of my KDM | |
| [06:42] <virnik> Jucato: there is little missunderstanding | |
| [06:42] <virnik> I am not asking about compiz...I really know compiz with it's behaviour | |
| [06:42] <virnik> I am asking about kubuntu/ubuntu scripts | |
| [06:42] <virnik> so, again, which script is called by pressing "hibernate" button? | |
| [06:43] <mefisto__> jussi01: just for the record, Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" worked! screenres is now as it should be before and after login, fonts look perfect everywhere, I'm overjoyed. And it was so simple | |
| [06:43] <jussi01> mefisto__: thats fantastic :) | |
| [06:43] <ross_> jussi01: I'm getting compiler errors: "The class System.data.Common.DbConnection could not be loaded, used in System.Data, Version 2.0.0.0" | |
| [06:43] <mefisto__> and more importantly, xine video aspect is working right now | |
| [06:44] <jussi01> ross_: ahhh, ok, Ive no Idea about that error. there are a lot of people in #mysql that may be helpful if you dont get an answer here | |

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | |
| [07:53] <Daisuke_Ido> that could be because sound is aural and display implies some sort of visual medium... | |

| [08:08] <alan> also it says in my mtab that /dev/sda1 is mounted at /, and i know for a fact that isnt true. | |
| [08:09] <Jucato> zorglu_: there must either be a cron or updatedb/locate config that sets it up? | |

| [08:14] <ubotu> /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | |

| [08:15] <appelza> any reason for dash instead of bash? | |

| [09:43] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | |
| [09:45] <stf_> Hey, I installed the latest usplash on Dapper, installed a working theme for it, installed/selected it as an alternative and updated the initramfs. But usplash then only works on shutdown and manual invocation. Not on boot. Any hints? | |
| [09:49] <acemo> i just rebooted my computer and the sound doesnt works anymore.. however when i do lspci | grep "Audio" it still prints out "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)" | |
| [09:49] <unagi> acemo is alsa master up? | |
| [09:50] <akuma_> someone gave me a help on getting compiz to work with Kubuntu and its crap... | |
| [09:50] <acemo> unagi: kmix just displays a red cross on the mic icon and says Mixer cannot be found | |
| [09:50] <akuma_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | |
| [09:51] <akuma_> is what someone gave me... can someone give me another howto that "works" | |
| [09:51] <akuma_> compiz-kde and what not doesnt exist | |
| [09:51] <unagi> it exists | |
| [09:51] <unagi> akuma_: | |
| [09:51] <akuma_> i just ran an apt-get and nothing came up | |
| [09:52] <jussi01> acemo: what did you do before the reboot? have you just upgraded? | |
| [09:52] <acemo> jussi01: i just enabled twinview in nvdidia-settings | |
| [09:52] <unagi> are your repos right akuma_? it exists | |

| [09:53] <ultracap> Managed to get usplash working by setting a resolution of 640x480 in usplash.conf | |
| [09:53] <romunov> i did experience problems with certain programs (open office) | |
| [09:53] <romunov> so if you use that, don't use compiz :) | |
| [09:53] <jussi01> acemo: tats weird - I know there are issues with intel hda, but if it was working... | |
| [09:53] <akuma_> i just got done installing the DVD of Kubuntu | |
| [09:53] <acemo> jussi01: i dont think that could have caused it.. because x.org has nothing to do with sound right? | |
| [09:54] <acemo> jussi01: there are issues indeed... it was a hell getting the sound to work | |
| [09:54] <jussi01> acemo: dont think so. but have a look at !intelhda - maybe there is info there to help | |
| [09:54] <jussi01> !intelhda | |

| [09:54] <akuma_> unagi: i would figure a fresh install would have everything working... do i need to do some sorta apt update or something? | |
| [09:54] <unagi> if you added a repo then | |
| [09:55] <unagi> then yea | |
| [09:55] <akuma_> unagi: repo? i did sudo apt-get update and it ran... | |

| [09:56] <akuma_> unagi: i am not sure, i've never used Ubuntu based distro except Debian back in the day | |
| [09:56] <apparle> How to use apt-zip | |
| [09:56] <unagi> i dont really know what to say.........apt-get install compiz-kde works for me | |
| [09:56] <unagi> !compiz | |
| [09:56] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | |
| [09:56] <romunov> akuma_: did you check the link i gave you? | |

| [09:58] <jussi01> akuma_: you need to enable the universe repo | |
| [09:58] <akuma_> how do i enable that? | |
| [09:58] <acemo> akuma_: edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # before the universe repo | |
| [09:59] <acemo> akuma_: after that apt-get update, then it should work | |
| [09:59] <jussi01> akuma_: system -> adept -> manage repositories -> tick universe | |
| [09:59] <apparle> does anybody here use apt-zip | |

| [10:26] <LamerMan> hi everyone! can i make separate navigation panel (on the left side) for every "tab" in konqueror? | |
| [10:26] <apparle> ForgeAus: As I already said, I either have a computer 'with internet and Windows XP' or a computer 'without network but with kubuntu' | |
| [10:27] <acemo> First you must find which model of sound card you use, so run this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec so i run the command and it says no such file or directory.. is there a other way of finding out wich model/codec i have? | |
| [10:28] <apparle> jpatrick: Will I have to wait untill p.u.c is running again | |
| [10:28] <ForgeAus> without a network doesn't matter if you have kubuntu all you need is access to the .deb files you can download to your usb drive | |
| [10:28] <ForgeAus> (that is download in XP) | |
| [10:28] <Jucato> ForgeAus: which goes back to his problem of packages.ubuntu.com being down... | |
| [10:29] <apparle> ForgeAus: Thats what I wanna do. But unable to connect to packages.ubuntu.com | |
| [10:29] <Jucato> LamerMan: I don't think so | |
| [10:30] <apparle> Jucato: and ForgeAus: On the ubuntu chatroom, somebody told me that 'apt-zip' will generate a script for linux and which can be converted to DOS. So can anybody help with apt-zip.?? | |
| [10:30] <ForgeAus> you don't need packages.ubuntu.com | |
| [10:31] <ForgeAus> apt-zip? interesting... lol | |
| [10:31] <Jucato> ForgeAus: he does if he wants an easy way to 1. download the .deb files and 2. see the dependencies | |
| [10:31] <Jucato> (referring to packages.ubuntu.com) | |
| [10:33] <acemo> First you must find which model of sound card you use, so run this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec so i run the command and it says no such file or directory.. is there a other way of finding out wich model/codec i have? | |
| [10:35] <apparle> Jucato: It may seem to you that its easy using p.u.c but its not. try installing any simple software like mplayer with p.u.c and you will understand what an headache it is!!!!!! Doing it for 6months. It takes me almost a week to install a software.> Download a package> Go home and check dependencies> Come back and download dependencies>Go home and check dependencies of dependencies and so on | |
| [10:36] <Jucato> apparle: much easier than going to archive.ubuntu.com and searching for the .deb, trying to install it, realizing it needs some other .deb, going back to p.u.c, rinse and repeat | |
| [10:37] <apparle> Jucato: Much difficult than apt-get. Don't tell me you use the method you told above | |
| [10:37] <Jucato> fortunately no :) | |
| [10:38] <Jucato> why can't you get an internet connection on your Kubuntu? | |
| [10:39] <Jucato> apparle: don't know if this can help: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ | |
| [10:39] <Jucato> !aptoncd | |
| [10:39] <ubotu> APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | |
| [10:39] <Jucato> ah no... | |
| [10:41] <apparle> Jucato: Impossible. No permission from parents. Apt-zip is similar to apt-get for people like me . It is similar to aptoncd but it generates a linux script. This script can then e converted to DOS and then used on XP. I just don't know how to use apt-zip | |
| [10:42] <apparle> nobody here knows how to use apt-zip. Last week I got many replies | |
| [10:43] <jussi01> apparle: you could do: man apt-zip | |
| [10:44] <ForgeAus> or google it? | |
| [10:44] <apparle> jussi01: I read the whole man page and understood nothing. you see I am new to linux | |
| [10:45] <apparle> jpatrick: do you know when p.u.c will be up again | |
| [10:45] <ForgeAus> app persoanlly I don't find man pages that helpful either other than something like to refresh my memory on a switch | |
| [10:45] <jpatrick> apparle: no idea | |
| [10:46] <apparle> anybody else knows when p.u.c will start again?? | |
| [10:46] <Jucato> (different man pages, different qualities... they're not all written by the same person... :P) | |

| [10:51] <Gast909> and tried to compile via g++ | |
| [10:52] <Jucato> Gast909: you need to install "build-essential". there aren't any compilers installed by default | |
| [10:52] <SlimeyPete> "g++ myprogram.c"? | |
| [10:52] <Gast909> well, i received the msg that g++ is not installed, then i tried the following | |

| [10:52] <apparle> acemo: Don't be sad. Happy B'day. What's the problem. I am a new user but I may be useful | |
| [10:52] <Jucato> Gast909: it's | |
| [10:52] <SlimeyPete> it's "apt-get" and you need to use sudo | |
| [10:52] <Jucato> Gast909: it's "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | |

| [10:53] <apparle> insert it | |
| [10:53] <Gast909> uh | |
| [10:53] <acemo> apparle: the problem is that it seems the soundcard suddenly aint installed anymore | |
| [10:53] <Gast909> i am still quite noob with kubuntu | |
| [10:54] <Jucato> the CD doesn't have any compiler | |
| [10:54] <apparle> and then run the command. don't remove the cd | |
| [10:54] <Gast909> can you tell me the command? | |
| [10:54] <apparle> Jucato: my cd had build-essential packages in it | |
| [10:54] <SlimeyPete> Gast909: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", remove the line which refers to the CDROM, then press CTRL-X to save. After you've saved, type "sudo apt-get update". | |

| [11:13] <acemo> SlimeyPete: am tempted to install hardy.. | |
| [11:14] <SlimeyPete> I guess that might work, though they may not have updated ALSA yet. | |
| [11:14] <acemo> SlimeyPete: i shall find that out :) | |
| [11:14] <SlimeyPete> :) | |
| [11:15] <acemo> too bad there aint a kde4 version of hardy yet | |
| [11:25] <acemo> anyone knows if the soundblaster live will work out of the box in kubuntu 7.10? friend of me has one laying around.. if that works i dont have to reinstall =) | |
| [11:25] <SlimeyPete> acemo: it will. | |
| [11:25] <acemo> great | |
| [11:25] <SlimeyPete> in fact it'll work with pretty much any linux distro released in the last five years - the SB Live is very well-supported :) | |
| [11:26] <acemo> thats pretty sweet :) | |
| [11:26] * SlimeyPete keeps one in a drawer for emergencies ;) | |
| [11:26] <acemo> think it will automagicly install it or ill have to manually do that? =p | |
| [11:27] <sigma_1234> would it be illegal to distribute linux with arial as the default interface font? | |
| [11:27] <SlimeyPete> heh, now that I don't know, to be honest. I imagine the kernel module is installed by default so it *should* be loaded automatically but you may have to check your modules configuration in /etc/ | |
| [11:28] <jussi01> sigma_1234: consult a lawyer, but I think so. | |
| [11:28] <acemo> sigma_1234: big chance yeah | |
| [11:29] <Gast930> apparle? | |
| [11:29] <sigma_1234> weird. how does msoft get to use it if it belongs to adobe? | |
| [11:29] <mith_> hi all! How can i install an irda driver? | |
| [11:29] <Gast930> jpatrick? | |
| [11:29] <mith_> !irda | |
| [11:29] <ubotu> Information about using IrDA interfaces under Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrdaHowto | |
| [11:30] <acemo> Gast930: just ask youre question asking random names wont give you any usefull answers i belive | |
| [11:30] <Gast930> well, after having removed the cd line from the sources.list it finally works | |
| [11:30] <jussi01> !ot | sigma_1234 | |
| [11:30] <ubotu> sigma_1234: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | |
| [11:31] <Gast930> just one (and hopefully the last) question | |
| [11:32] <Gast930> if i want to compile a program with g++, i use "g++ -o -wall (name) (sourcefile)". how can i change the folders while using the console? | |
| [11:33] <acemo> ../ to go up a folder | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> "../" | |
| [11:33] <SlimeyPete> Gast930: cd | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> in windows / dos it is | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> cd | |
| [11:33] <stdin> you need "cd" before there, cd = change directory | |
| [11:33] <SlimeyPete> cd .. | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> ah | |
| [11:33] <SlimeyPete> cd dirname | |
| [11:33] <SlimeyPete> etc | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> in linux too? | |
| [11:33] <acemo> ahh doh yeah.. | |
| [11:33] <Gast930> kk | |
| [11:33] <SlimeyPete> Gast930: yes, it's the same but there must be a space between "cd" and "..", unlike DOS. | |
| [11:34] <stdin> Gast930: that command is common to just about every OS | |
| [11:34] <Gast930> thy :) | |
| [11:34] <enry> hello | |
| [11:35] <Gast930> next month i've got semester break so i can spend more time to get familiar with kubuntu, thx a lot, have a nice day! :) | |
| [11:36] <SlimeyPete> enry: hi. | |
| [11:42] <remi_> salut | |
| [11:44] <Whitman> I've locked down an account with kiosktool and want to run a script in ~/.kde/Autostart but I get an error on login about permissions. The script is owned by the locked down account and has +x but for some reason it won't run. Any ideas? (I've asked in #kde but got no reply) | |
| [11:47] <jussi01> Whitman: have you got #! /bin/bash on the top of the script? | |
| [11:47] <Whitman> jussi01, yes | |
| [11:47] <jussi01> Whitman: not sure | |
| [11:47] <Whitman> well, /bin/sh specifically | |
| [11:48] <jussi01> ahh yeah | |
| === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC | |
| [12:02] <Whitman> Fixed it, had to set shell_access=true which, while not ideal, doesn't matter in my case as the kiosk users can only run 2 .desktop files both opening the prism browser. | |
| [12:04] <jussi01> Whitman: good going :D | |
| [12:06] <Whitman> Just found a better solution on the kiosktool mailing list but I think I'll leave it as it is | |

| [12:20] <zorglu_> !info dpkg | |
| [12:20] <yolnizzle> please why does my konsole keep giving a [ c++ preprocessor error ] | |

| [12:21] <yolnizzle> please why does my konsole keep giving a [ c++ preprocessor error ] | |
| [12:21] <Jucato> !patience | yolnizzle | |
| [12:21] <ubotu> yolnizzle: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | |
| [12:21] <yolnizzle> 10ks guys | |
| [12:21] <Jucato> yolnizzle: when are you getting this error? what are you trying to do? if you could give more details, that would assist you in getting help | |
| [12:22] <Jucato> we are not mind readers :) | |
| [12:22] <romunov> yes we are, speak for yourself | |
| [12:22] <mith_> how can i make a .o file? can i make it from a .h file? | |
| [12:22] <oguz1327> hi babes | |
| [12:22] <yolnizzle> each time i try to run [./ configure ] | |
| [12:23] <Jucato> yolnizzle: do you have build-essential installed? | |
| [12:23] <yolnizzle> please how do i check ? | |
| [12:23] <Jucato> mith_: um.. you need a .cpp that goes with the .h for that... what are you trying to do | |
| [12:23] <Jucato> romunov: I'll keep that in mind next time | |
| [12:24] <Jucato> yolnizzle: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" should install the basic things you need for compiling | |
| [12:24] <yolnizzle> [ i downloaded some apps in tar.bz2 format. ] 10ks a lot jucato | |
| [12:24] <ol_dude67> jucato,why isnt in a regular install if you are going to use it in the first place? | |
| [12:25] <ol_dude67> just asking | |
| [12:25] <Jucato> ol_dude67: hum? | |
| [12:25] <Jucato> !b-e | yolnizzle | |
| [12:25] <ubotu> yolnizzle: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | |
| [12:25] <Jucato> ol_dude67: I didn't understand the question | |
| [12:26] <ol_dude67> its ok a little off topic, but if you are going to build packages in linux it would seem you would get that in the actual install of kubuntu or ubuntu or whatever. | |
| [12:27] <mmance> can someone tell me the limit for ext3 for the amount of files in a directory? | |
| [12:27] <zorglu_> mmance: is there a limitation ? | |
| [12:27] <mmance> I am sure there is, I just don't know what it is. | |
| [12:27] <Jucato> ol_dude67: because Ubuntu, like Debian, Fedora/Red Hat, etc. are what you call "binary distros". they provide binary packages as the default means of installing things on your system. these packages are built and tested to work on those particular distros/systems. compiling is the exception, not the rule | |
| [12:27] <zorglu_> ol_dude67: compiling from source is not considered the default behaviour | |
| [12:28] <Pici> mmance: Wikipedia should have the answer, they have quite a bit of info on filesystem limit. | |
| [12:28] <mmance> pici, nope, they did for ext2 but not for ext3 | |
| [12:28] <Pici> mmance: really? hrm. | |
| [12:28] <yolnizzle> ol_dude67: have you tried the autopackage format [ www.autopackage.org/packages ] | |
| [12:28] <Jucato> ol_dude67: unfortunately, one of the dominant myths surrounding Linux is that you absolutely need to compile everything | |
| [12:28] <mmance> I have to have 180,000 files in a directory | |
| [12:28] <mmance> anyone have anything close to that? | |
| [12:29] <ol_dude67> just was wondering, like i have said before im a slack user by default. | |
| [12:30] <ol_dude67> i just switched to kubuntu not long ago.sorry for the dumb questions. | |
| [12:30] <Jucato> it's not dumb | |
| [12:30] <yolnizzle> ol_dude67: its not a dumb question we are all learners here too | |
| [12:31] <Jucato> it's a common misconception.. and you coming from slack, I'm not surprised why you asked :) | |
| [12:31] <zorglu_> mmance: with only 180,000, you can write a test. if you want. | |
| [12:31] <zorglu_> mmance: i looked at it and didnt find the answer | |
| [12:31] <Dragnslcr> mmance- a quick look at Wikipedia seems to say that the total number of available inodes is equal to B/2^13, where B is the size of the partition in bytes | |
| [12:32] <zorglu_> mmance: im would be highly surprised if it wasnt possible to do 180000 file/dir. on the other hand, im sure itwill be slow :) | |
| [12:33] <mmance> well, I guess I will let you know, thought someone might know before I have to do it | |
| [12:33] <mmance> I read that XFS has higher limits, if i really need to I can create a xfs partition for the project | |
| [12:33] <Dragnslcr> mmance- so a 250 GB hard drive would have about 30 million inodes total | |
| [12:34] <mmance> thats total files on disc though, is it not? | |
| [12:34] <Dragnslcr> Yeah | |
| [12:34] <mmance> not per directory | |
| [12:34] <mmance> thats different | |
| [12:34] <Dragnslcr> It doesn't matter, actually | |
| [12:34] <zorglu_> mmance: naive question, what need that many file in a single dir ? | |
| [12:35] <Dragnslcr> It isn't possible to have that many files on a disk anyway | |
| [12:35] <Dragnslcr> Since a file always takes up at least one block | |
| [12:35] <Dragnslcr> So in practice, there is no limit to the number of files you can have | |
| [12:35] * zorglu_ is installing hardy on virtualbox just to try the last dpkg-deb :)) | |
| [12:36] <mmance> zorglu, I have to download all these html pages, and then text process them into a single file | |
| [12:36] <mmance> with awk | |
| [12:36] <zorglu_> mmance: if you are the one downloading those pages, you can trivially make a 'fake' directory arch | |
| [12:37] <mmance> arch? | |
| [12:37] <zorglu_> mmance: processing directory with that many files are much slower | |
| [12:37] <zorglu_> mmance: sorry architecture | |
| [12:37] <mmance> I dont understand | |
| [12:37] <zorglu_> mmance: like .com/.example/.www/blabla | |
| [12:37] <Dragnslcr> mmance- then you don't need to worry | |
| [12:37] <Dragnslcr> mmance- there's no way you'll have millions of files at a time | |
| [12:37] <mmance> well, I have a compiled text file with a raw list of the files that I pump to wget with -i | |
| [12:38] <mmance> no, only around 150-180,000 | |
| [12:38] <Dragnslcr> mmance- then the answer is no, you don't have to worry about a limit to the number of files you can have | |
| [12:39] <mmance> I guess the only reason I ask is cause I already ran into command limits today with the command line and 3000 files in a dir | |
| [12:39] <yolnizzle> jucato: each time i use the sudo apt-get command it returns with [Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' ] | |
| [12:39] <mmance> you can't run cp or mv via commandline without donig things special | |
| [12:40] <zorglu_> mmance: the issue is with the length of the command line which is 32kbyte | |
| [12:40] <zorglu_> mmance: nothing to do with the fs :) | |
| [12:40] <mmance> i know, i wasn't corrulating the tech, just my thoughts | |
| [12:40] <zorglu_> ok | |
| [12:40] <Dr_Willis> this is when xargs comes in handy. :) | |
| [12:41] <yolnizzle> each time i use the sudo apt-get command it returns with [Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' ] | |
| [12:41] <Dragnslcr> Ooh, new kernel image this morning | |
| [12:41] <mmance> well, either way, ill let you all know the outcome | |
| [12:49] <LukeL> hello | |
| [12:49] <snegoviK> hello people.... for some reason x-server stopped starting on boot. i tried the following: sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove / sudo update-rc.d -f kdm defaults. I also tried renaming the symbolic link so that x11-common starts before kdm. Finally i tried runnin #init 5. These dont do anything :/ | |
| [12:50] <Dr_Willis> snegoviK, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | |
| [12:50] <Dr_Willis> ? | |
| [12:50] <snegoviK> will do | |
| [12:50] <Dr_Willis> I wonder if kdm is just crashing on you. :) | |
| [12:50] <Dr_Willis> can you run 'sudo kdm' ? | |
| [12:50] <snegoviK> oh i m kdm now | |
| [12:50] <snegoviK> i just have to do startx every boot | |
| [12:51] <romunov> snegoviK: what error do you get? | |
| [12:51] <romunov> i've been experiencing a similar problem with kdm - i have to startx on every boot | |
| [12:51] <snegoviK> romunov: errors during boot? | |
| [12:51] <romunov> yepp | |
| [12:52] <romunov> sweet: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: kdm is broken or not fully installed | |
| [12:52] <snegoviK> same here actually :] | |
| [12:52] <romunov> i did apt-get install kde to see what happens | |
| [12:52] <romunov> it will install "menu" package | |
| [12:53] <snegoviK> hm now that you mention it i did remove loads of kde apps which i dont need | |
| [12:53] <snegoviK> maybe i removed something vital by accident | |
| [12:54] <yolnizzle> did you tamper with you display driver ? mine crashed when i tried to use a sis driver inplace of my vesa | |
| [12:54] <snegoviK> nah. this started after i removed kde4 | |
| [12:54] <romunov> all i changed was install kde4 and then uninstalled it | |
| [12:54] <romunov> ^_^ | |
| [12:54] <snegoviK> rofl | |
| [12:54] <snegoviK> then i had to reinstall kde3 because kde4 removed loads of crap | |
| [12:54] <romunov> hum, i suspect you're my evil twin brother | |
| [12:55] <snegoviK> haha :] | |
| [12:55] <romunov> did you have K3b (burning dvds and cds)? | |
| [12:55] <snegoviK> i still do | |
| [12:55] <snegoviK> i reinstalled kde3 | |
| [12:55] <yolnizzle> no | |
| [12:55] <romunov> it uninstalled that as well, along the packages it had installed for kd4 | |
| [12:56] <romunov> snegoviK: what did you find wrong with kde4? | |
| [12:56] <yolnizzle> sorry i still have k3b i just neva used it | |
| [12:56] <snegoviK> romunov: kwrite/kate constantly crash on start | |
| [12:56] <romunov> how about desktop icons? did they behave ok? | |
| [12:56] <romunov> i kept losing the "wrap" around them | |
| [12:56] <snegoviK> yea i think so | |
| [12:56] <romunov> and moving the wrap on one side of the desktop moved its corresponding icon on the other end of the desktop | |
| [12:57] <romunov> really weird | |
| [12:57] <snegoviK> nah the only prob i had with kde4 is crashing | |
| [12:57] <romunov> i'll give it a few more weeks before reinstalling | |
| [12:57] <romunov> and i'll probably do a fresh install | |
| [12:57] <JuJuBee> Is there a quic way to flush my routing table other than using sudo route del... commands? | |
| [12:57] <snegoviK> ok i installed menu as you said, dpkg-reconfigure works now | |
| [12:57] <snegoviK> i will reboot see how that goes | |
| [12:57] <snegoviK> thnx a lot all | |
| [12:58] <romunov> report back | |
| [12:58] <snegoviK> sure | |
| [12:58] <yolnizzle> does any one know the detailed [code lines ] for installing ms-dos on a kubuntu | |
| [12:58] <SlimeyPete> yolnizzle: ms-dos? You mean in a virtual machine? | |
| [12:59] <yolnizzle> yep | |
| [12:59] <Lord_Drachenblut> yolnizzle: you could always use dosbox if you are trying to run old dos games | |
| [12:59] <SlimeyPete> yeah, dosbox is easiest | |
| [12:59] <SlimeyPete> !dosbox | |
| [12:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dosbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |

| [12:59] <Dr_Willis> dosbox is a lot of fun | |
| [13:00] <Lord_Drachenblut> yolnizzle: but if dosbox won't work for you and you need a virtual machine you could check out virtualbox | |
| [13:00] <Dr_Willis> dosbox has played about every dos game ive tossed at it. | |
| [13:00] <SlimeyPete> yeah, it's pretty-much perfect. | |
| [13:01] <yolnizzle> hope dosbox doesnt need to be compiled | |
| [13:01] <Dr_Willis> yolnizzle, why would it.. its in the repos. :) | |
| [13:01] <Lord_Drachenblut> So what are the thoughts on 8.04 so far? | |

Even if i delete the key from /home/.ssh/ , it doesn't ask for password. Is it kept somewhere in konqueror? how can i delete it? | |
| [13:08] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. the kwallet perhaps? | |
| [13:08] <Dr_Willis> i alwyas forget about fish:// and end up using sshfs | |

| [13:09] <niall_> hi | |
| [13:09] <jussi01> Does anyone know how to create styled arrows in krita? | |
| [13:09] <niall_> is there a way to revert to just the packages that would be there in a clean install, without reinstalling :x | |
| [13:10] <Dr_Willis> niall_, not that i know of. | |
| [13:10] <Dr_Willis> You could find a list I guess. and start removing whats not in the list. | |
| [13:12] <LamerMan> Dr_Willis, it's not kwallet, unfortunatelly | |
| [13:12] <yolnizzle> niall you could try using open office to create it or try downloading open euclide from [autopackage.org/packages] | |
| [13:13] <Dr_Willis> LamerMan, no idea. ive never noticed it saving the passwords.. good luck. | |
| [13:13] <Dr_Willis> bbl . | |
| [13:14] <yolnizzle> can any one remind me of how to edit my source list | |

| [13:15] <Jucato> hahah | |
| [13:16] <Jucato> !kdesu | |
| [13:16] <ubotu> In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | |
| [13:16] <Jucato> there.. romunov & yolnizzle ^^^ | |
| [13:16] <Lord_Drachenblut> guardian: hardy is slated to be a LTS release so i think there holding off on kde 4 until 8.10 because of that | |

| [13:16] <romunov> Jucato: interesting, i never knew that | |
| [13:16] <romunov> althoug i usually use "sudo nano.." | |
| [13:16] <Jucato> Lord_Drachenblut: no. guardian: no | |
| [13:16] <niall_> ;/ | |
| [13:16] <niall_> i've totally broken my install | |
| [13:17] <Jucato> Kubuntu Hardy will not be LTS, as decreed by Canonical. Kubuntu Hardy will come in 2 versions, one with KDE 3.5.8 (or 9) by default, and one with KDE 4.0.x | |
| [13:18] <romunov> Jucato: what's the difference? :D | |
| [13:18] <Jucato> romunov: of what? | |
| [13:18] <Lord_Drachenblut> as decreed by the mighty canonical.... Sorry i don't keep up with what they say | |
| [13:19] <Jucato> Lord_Drachenblut: been a hot issue since January :) | |
| [13:19] <Jucato> er.. since Dec. iirc | |
| [13:20] <yolnizzle> please where do i find my sources list for apt-get and how do i edit it without having to delete it first | |
| [13:20] <Lord_Drachenblut> Jucato: well glad to see it's not going to be lts then, i been to busy lately to keep up with that news lately, and that kde4.X.X will be a out the gate option | |
| [13:20] <neville> What's the command to tell my computer to shutdown in 30 minutes? | |
| [13:20] <yolnizzle> !apt-get | |
| [13:20] <Jucato> yolnizzle: the GUI way: K Menu -> System -> Adept Manager... once running. Adept menu -> Manage Repositories. | |
| [13:20] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | |
| [13:21] <Jucato> yolnizzle: the text edit way: Alt+F2, "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" | |
| [13:21] <romunov> Jucato: between sudo and kdesudo.. other than the "kde" part :) | |
| [13:21] <Whitman> neville, sudo shutdown -h +30 | |
| [13:21] <Jucato> romunov: you didn't read? | |
| [13:21] <yolnizzle> 10ks jucato | |
| [13:22] <neville> Okay, thank you very much Whitman =] | |
| [13:23] <romunov> Jucato: oops, sorry, missed the url | |
| [13:25] <christophe_> Hi ! I've installed compiz and I can't stand that my windows stick to the screen border .. any ideas how to remove it ? | |
| [13:25] <yolnizzle> you guy here have been very good to me today im really greatful especially jucato & Dr watts 10ks a bunch guys | |
| [13:26] <mefisto_> I'm on (upgraded) gutsy, but I still have kdesu installed and kdesudo is not installed. Is it important to use kdesudo with gutsy or is kdesu the same? | |
| [13:27] <kristjan_> !ipv6 | |
| [13:27] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | |
| [13:27] <Jucato> mefisto_: well, kdesudo has some added benefits over kdesu, but you don't absolutely need to. if/when you upgrade to hardy, it might be installed anyway | |
| [13:30] <kristjan_> speaking of kdesudo - does anyone remeber then kubuntu 7.10 beta releases "kdesudo" application used user kde preferences? why did it change in final release? | |

| [14:45] <combinio> how to watch RMVB movies? | |
| [14:45] <FaiDillinGer> maybe with vlc ? | |
| [14:46] <combinio> FaiDillinGer: but it looks i have no codecs :/ | |
| [14:46] <SlimeyPete> I think mplayer will play them, but you may need the w32codecs | |
| [14:47] <werner__> vlc has many codecs within ... make a try? | |
| [14:47] <genii> Isn't rmvb a Real Player format? | |
| [14:47] <werner__> www.fileformats.com or so ... | |
| [14:47] <FaiDillinGer> yes genii | |
| [14:47] <FaiDillinGer> combinio: i think vlc has lots of codecs embedded in it | |
| [14:47] <combinio> so what kind of codecs should i install to be able to watch movies of that kind? :/ | |
| [14:48] <combinio> FaiDillinGer: crap!:( i'd like Kaffeine of mPlayer | |
| [14:48] <combinio> hate VLC :// | |

| [14:52] <skar> which package do i install to enable 32 bit app support on amd64? | |
| [14:53] <SlimeyPete> skar: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 | |
| [14:56] <skar> SlimeyPete: i'm looking for a package which installes 32 bit compat libs, i don't need full 32 bit chroot support | |
| [14:58] <SlimeyPete> oh right. | |
| [14:58] <genii> skar: There is one called getlibs but it is unsupported | |
| [15:00] <genii> skar: Some info on it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 | |
| [15:00] <BluesKaj> skar, ia32libs | |
| [15:00] <skar> genii: nope, i remember using 32 bit apps natively on 64 bit systems | |
| [15:00] <skar> BluesKaj: yup that's it, thanks a lot to you all :) | |
| [15:02] <skar> BluesKaj: hmm ia32libs doesn't exist in the repo package list? wonder if i need to add a extra repo to the sources?!?! | |
| [15:03] <skar> BluesKaj: ok found it, stupid me :) | |
| [15:03] <werner__> skar: and whats the solution? | |
| [15:04] <skar> werner__: install the ia32-libs package, that's it, the loader will load these 32 bit libs for the 32 bit binaries we run :) | |
| [15:04] <skar> werner__: i used to install 32bit vmware inside 64bit ubuntu like this | |
| [15:04] <werner__> ah, ok, i see ... what else :) | |
| [15:05] <skar> werner__: though xen, virtualbox are more to my taste these days | |

| [15:58] <the-erm> I wrote a simple script that will backup every 12 hours, the catch is it watches /dev/input/mouse1 for input, and if there is any movement it will push the backup back 3 hours. In other words it backs up when I'm not at the computer. | |
| === Huahua_ is now known as Shely | |
| [15:59] <armadill0> the-erm, that was a good idea | |
| [15:59] <the-erm> Anyone know of a web page that explains how to add it to /etc/init.d/myscript | |
| [15:59] <jeroenvrp> I am looking for a way to make sure the icons in the file-picker used by Gnome/GTK under KDE is using the KDE icons. With the gtk to qt engine all icons are changed, but not these icons?! | |
| [16:00] <llutz> the-erm: see /etc/init.d/readme and /etc/init.d/skeleton | |
| [16:00] <marx2k> BluesKaj: Thats what I meant by it's not in there. the Session chooser in the login menu... | |
| [16:00] <the-erm> llutz: I should have checked there to being with thanks. | |
| [16:00] <marx2k> it seems Gnome is not in there either but I know I have Gnome installed on my system | |
| [16:00] <marx2k> so only KDE 3.5 is in my session chooser for some reason | |
| [16:01] <SlimeyPete> marx2k: you sure? if you installed the kubuntu-desktop package, gnomewill have been removed. | |
| [16:01] <marx2k> SlimeyPete: I've not had that issue before. I was pretty sure KDE and Gnome co-exist | |
| [16:02] <SlimeyPete> marx2k: hrm yeah I could be wrong actually, sorry | |
| [16:02] <SlimeyPete> wonder where I got that idea from | |
| [16:05] <mefisto_> marx2k: you can put a kde4.desktop file (or anything else) in /usr/share/xsessions directory and it will appear in the sessions menu | |

| [16:14] <nyp4life> hey everybody | |
| === ubuntu is now known as RafaelDolorosa | |
| [16:14] <Webbmaster> its trying to remove stuff, like kde3 apps and mplayer | |
| [16:14] <Webbmaster> stdin: so if i wait and try later it should work okay | |
| [16:15] <stdin> Webbmaster: if you pastebin the output I can give you a more definite answer | |
| [16:15] <Webbmaster> stdin: will do | |
| [16:15] <nyp4life> i have a wifi issue.. every time i use a bittorrent client i get kicked off my wireless network and cant get back on unless i restart.. any dieas | |
| [16:16] <Webbmaster> http://hpaste.org/5485 | |
| [16:16] <nyp4life> i tried lowering my global connections to 60 (someone suggested) but didn't work | |
| [16:17] <Webbmaster> stdin: does that help? | |
| [16:18] <stdin> Webbmaster: it does, I'll need to reupload kde4libs :p | |
| [16:18] <Webbmaster> ah | |
| [16:18] <Webbmaster> and once you have, it should work nicely | |
| [16:22] <BluesKaj> nyp4life, have you configured the ports on the wireless gateway to work with the torrent client ports such as 6881 & 4444 in ktorrent ? | |
| [16:22] <BluesKaj> nyp4life, TCP ports | |
| [16:23] <nyp4life> i changed the ports to 50055.. same as i did in winxp n it works fine, just doesn't keep me on fo long | |
| [16:23] <nyp4life> i tried four different clients.. currently with utorrent and wine | |
| [16:24] <Whitman> Ok, odd problem. I'm trying to get a monitor to not go into standby after idle. I've unticked the box in the monitor power management settings and even commented out 'Option "DPMS"' in xorg.conf (and restarted x of course) yet the monitor still goes into standby mode. | |
| [16:24] <Whitman> And this is on kubuntu 7.10 | |
| [16:25] <BluesKaj> aha , utorrent is ok in wine for a while then it slows ...i tried that setupo too , not satisfactory in my experience. | |
| [16:25] <nyp4life> so far utorrent has kept me on the network longest for some reason (~15 mins) | |
| [16:26] <nyp4life> ktorrent and bittorrent (and i think bittornado was the other one) have kicked me off right away (~2mins) | |
| [16:26] * BluesKaj doesn't get it ...wireless is such a PITA | |
| [16:26] * BluesKaj is gonna stay wired :) | |
| [16:27] <BluesKaj> no lappies here so I guess no need | |
| [16:28] <nyp4life> hmm.. wish i could run a wire down here | |
| [16:29] <nyp4life> nobody else?? lol | |
| [16:29] <nyp4life> wireless is my only option unfortunately | |
| [16:29] <Lynoure> nyp4life: nobody what? | |
| [16:30] <nyp4life> have any suggestions to keep my wireless network from kicking me off when i try to dl/ul torrents | |
| === Timmy is now known as TimS | |
| [16:30] <nyp4life> no mattter what client i use i get kicked off | |
| [16:30] <Lynoure> nyp4life: probably a matter of weird ap settings, then | |
| [16:30] <nyp4life> can i fix this? | |
| [16:31] * BluesKaj doesn't understand the use of higher numbered ports | |
| [16:31] <nyp4life> well apparently port 6881 is blocked by some ISP's so its recommended to change ports to something over 50000 | |
| [16:31] <nyp4life> or so i hear.. | |
| [16:31] <Lynoure> nyp4life: really hard to tell without even knowing what your access point is, and more of an ap problem than kubuntu problem. | |
| [16:32] <nyp4life> but it works fine in winxp.. | |
| [16:32] <nyp4life> i have a linksys wrt54gp2 router if that helps.. | |
| [16:32] <Lynoure> nyp4life: if it was blocked, it would just not work... you would not get kicked off your wireless (unless it has some weird weird configuration and our ISP wanted to punish you) | |
| [16:32] <nyp4life> exactly.. so i dont no what the issue is | |
| [16:32] <BluesKaj> 6881 is blocked on some euro torrent sites , like piratebay , which is being prosecuted as we speak | |
| [16:33] <phoenixz> Hi there, I just ran the adept-updater, and when I saw the list of applications to be updated I was a bit surprised.. There were LOTS of applications marked to be uninstalled.. xchat, kontact, dolphin.. all marked to be removed.. Is there any explanation for this behaviour?? | |
| [16:33] <nyp4life> what settings do i need on the router? | |
| [16:34] <Webbmaster> phoenix: have you got the kde4 repo in sources.list? | |
| [16:34] <Lynoure> nyp4life: any normal settings should work fine... whatever your ISP tells you, normally | |
| [16:34] <phoenixz> Webbmaster, yep, ever now and then I take a look at KDE4.. | |
| [16:34] <Webbmaster> phoenix: yeah, i think something is broked with the kde4 packages | |
| [16:35] <Webbmaster> stdin seemed to konw what it was | |
| [16:35] <nyp4life> yea i think my router is set up correctly if i can surf and chat just fine.. | |
| [16:35] <Webbmaster> if you wait before upgrading, it should get fixed | |
| [16:35] <nyp4life> im new to linux btw lol just installed 3 days ago | |
| [16:35] <Lynoure> nyp4life: what do your logs say about the disconnects? | |
| [16:35] <nyp4life> where do i find the logs? | |
| [16:36] <phoenixz> nyp4life, /var/log | |
| [16:36] <Lynoure> nyp4life: they are under /var/log, daemon or syslog might be the most relevant | |
| [16:36] <phoenixz> stdin, you know something about the KDE4 repo causing adept manager to remove a bunch of packages it should _not_ remove? | |
| [16:37] <nyp4life> i have syslog, syslog.0, and syslog.1.gz | |
| [16:37] <stdin> yeah, I've uploaded the fix, give it a while | |
| [16:37] <nyp4life> which should i look at? | |
| [16:37] <Lynoure> nyp4life: the one without numbers is the newest one | |
| [16:37] <Lynoure> nyp4life: the bigger the number the older the log | |

| [16:56] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: and knowing what you wlan card is (it can be found in output of lspci) could help too. | |

| [17:06] <vedavox> its the new kdelibs5 that depends on libgif4 and not libungif4g for somereason, so I am holing off the update | |
| [17:07] <nyp4life_> ;) | |
| [17:07] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: it's not very Linux friendly adapter, you might need to use ndiswrapper :/ | |
| [17:07] <nyp4life_> now if only i can get mine working :P | |
| [17:07] <nyp4life_> and i get that from adept Lynoure? | |
| [17:08] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: I don't do ndiswrapper stuff as a volunteer, but there are many that do, and ubotu tidbit can get you started | |

| [17:09] <nyp4life_> btw how do i make konversation open firefox instead of konqueror | |
| [17:10] <stdin> nyp4life_: it uses the setting from System Setting -> Default Applications | |

| [17:12] <nyp4life_> thx stdin | |
| [17:12] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: could you still pastebin your lsusb? | |

| [17:23] <n1tro> Hi people :) Some time ago I installced kubuntu to my computer but the sounds are extremely low. You guys happen to have any tips to fix that? Like perhaps recommend some drivers or something? | |
| [17:25] <mneptok> n1tro: checked all the output levels in alsamixer? | |
| [17:25] <n1tro> hmm.. just a sec | |
| [17:26] <n1tro> You're not talking about KMix ? | |
| [17:27] <mneptok> no, alsamixer | |
| [17:27] <mneptok> open a terminal and type "alsamixer" (no quotes)\ | |
| [17:27] <n1tro> okay :D | |
| [17:28] <n1tro> everything's 00 | |
| [17:28] <mneptok> that would tend to make things somewhat quiet, yes. | |
| [17:28] <n1tro> but I can still hear something | |
| [17:28] <n1tro> but very low still | |
| [17:28] <BluesKaj> n1tro, make sure the slider ctrls are up to 71% or so | |
| [17:29] <nyp4life_> Lynoure i downloaded drivers from realtek and i get errors in the first step of installation..... | |
| [17:29] <nyp4life_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54877/ | |
| [17:29] <n1tro> it works now :D | |
| [17:29] <BluesKaj> n1tro, use arrow keys to negotiate | |
| [17:29] <n1tro> thanks guys | |
| [17:29] <BluesKaj> ok good | |
| [17:32] <n1tro> btw, i wouldn't want to mind you with more questions but because this is a great channel i was just wondering if it's possible to be on two different irc server with Konversation? | |
| [17:32] <n1tro> i don't wanna leave this channel because of quakenet ^^ | |
| [17:33] <vedavox> n1tro: dunno about konverstaion, but try kvirc, it supports multiple servers easily | |
| [17:33] <n1tro> oki :) | |
| [17:34] <Jucato> n1tro: of course it's possible | |
| [17:34] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: hmm, that does not really look like anything easily fixed, more like fault in the makedrv | |
| [17:34] <n1tro> hmm.. quick reboot for irc | |
| [17:34] <Jucato> n1tro: press F2 for the Server List and add it | |
| [17:34] <nyp4life_> as in fault from realtek? | |
| [17:35] <nyp4life_> its a good thing i live in a basement apt n have no windows to throw my computer out of... | |
| [17:35] <nyp4life_> lol | |
| [17:36] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: no, as in fault in the makefile for the drivers | |
| [17:36] <Maxim000> can't set font size in firefox. | |
| [17:36] <nyp4life_> something i can fix myself? | |
| [17:37] <n1tro> hey dudes now that i'm in a row, how can i make all links open with firefox in kubuntu? | |
| [17:38] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: maybe, if you have experience with makefiles and compiling. I won't be digging into it, not worth it even if it was my device... I'd just get a pci wlan card instead in that case, as they are pretty cheap, or grr at Realtek for messing up | |
| [17:38] <nyp4life_> i see | |
| [17:39] <nyp4life_> so until then.. no torrents for me.. back to xp for a week or so lol | |
| [17:41] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: if torrents trigger it, it's probably because of high traffic, so setting maximum download speed could help | |
| [17:44] <Maxim000> I set it (4 examle) 16, but it still 10 or 9 :( | |
| [17:44] <nyp4life_> someone here suggested it was the peers so i lowered them from like 300 to 40.. i have to limit the dl speed too now? or should i do that INSTEAD of the global connections | |
| [17:44] <Maxim000> ctrl++ & ctrl+- works nice | |
| [17:45] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: I'd limit just the total download speed. | |
| [17:45] <nyp4life_> k | |
| [17:45] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: I wouldn't think the number of peers affect this. | |
| [17:46] <nyp4life_> and im trying the drivers again and when i try exctracting the tar.gz i get errors in Ark | |
| [17:47] <nyp4life_> can i do this from command line instead? would it make a difference? | |
| [17:47] <Lynoure> nyp4life_: should not make a difference, but that's tar -zxf filename for you | |
| [17:50] <Cavallo> why I have in adept all the time libmlt-data package for update ?? I have run update for about 10 time and this packege is still there to update it :( So adept update icon is all the time in systry :( | |
| [17:51] <nyp4life_> yup didnt make a difference.. | |
| [17:52] <unagi> how do i completely remove a package with command line | |
| [17:52] <nyp4life_> last chance.. im trying the download speed.. farewell if i get disconnected again.. thanks for all the help | |

| [18:59] <techbw> thx for the link | |
| [19:00] <techbw> was at a site where someone else wanted the same thing, but they did not post what they did, to get thier machine working | |

| [19:03] <techbw> vedavox: would this work for pcmcia cdrom as well ... on another machine i got win98 but if this will work on there to I would load ubuntu. | |
| [19:03] <laslavic> Hey, what are the default groups that the first user is a part of? | |
| [19:04] <vedavox> techbw: if you know the mountpoint of the cd will be, prob /dev/sda, but not sure about pcmcia | |
| [19:06] <techbw> i would think it would need to load some drivers for the disk, maybe i should try put the cd in and see if it will boot, have never tried | |

| === Ryan_ is now known as RMC | |
| [19:26] <biopod> techbw: actaully what I would like to achieve is a functional kde4. | |
| [19:26] <techbw> try remove it, then re-install it. | |
| [19:27] <hemanathan> how to install real player | |
| [19:27] <flipstar> what you can do is rename your $HOME/.kde4 directory and log back in to your KDE 4 session. That'll put you back to the default settings. | |
| [19:27] <techbw> have you also check that your repos are all enabled? | |
| [19:27] <jussi01> !real | hemanathan | |

| [19:28] <hemanathan> slimey pete: i don;t know how to install | |
| [19:28] <RMC> i do | |
| [19:29] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: in a terminal, go to the right directory and type "./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" | |
| [19:29] <RMC> does anyone know where to start proggraming | |
| [19:29] <RMC> as in anygood websites | |
| [19:29] <RMC> ? | |
| [19:29] <SlimeyPete> what language? | |
| [19:29] <hemanathan> slimey pete: thats all nothing more than that | |
| [19:30] <RMC> java | |
| [19:30] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: yeah, I think so | |
| [19:30] <hemanathan> slimey pete: ok thank you | |
| [19:30] <SlimeyPete> RMC: for java it's probably best to buy a book. There's lots of material online but most is aimed at people who an already program. | |
| [19:30] <RMC> does anyone know what the most common language is to use and is it the easiest | |
| [19:30] <RMC> ? | |
| [19:31] <SlimeyPete> C or C++ are most common, Python or Ruby are easiest | |

| [19:33] <hemanathan> scorpking: hi i've downloaded d4x-2.5.7.1-1.i386.rpm i need to know the installation procedure | |
| [19:34] <SlimeyPete> !rpm | |
| [19:34] <ubotu> 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) | |
| [19:34] <ScorpKing> hemanathan: see if you can find it in the repos or find a .deb for it otherwise convert it to deb with alien | |
| [19:34] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you know d4x is available via apt, right? | |
| [19:34] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you can use Adept or apt-get to install it | |
| [19:34] <SlimeyPete> !apt | |
| [19:34] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | |

| [19:36] <SlimeyPete> ubotu isn't a person :) | |
| [19:36] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you should use Adept. | |
| [19:37] <hemanathan> i don't know how to use the same for installation | |
| [19:37] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you can find Adept in the K menu, it is already installed. It will allow you to install d4x and lots of other programs without downloading files from websites | |
| [19:37] <hemanathan> slimeypete:i don't know how to use the same for installation | |
| [19:37] <SlimeyPete> !adept | |

| [19:38] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: I'm afraid I can't understand what you're saying | |

| [19:53] <ScorpKing> hemanathan: run sudo apt-get update. is there an error again? | |
| [19:53] <BluesKaj> hemanathan, have edited your sources.list at all since installing kubuntu ? | |
| [19:54] <hemanathan> blueskaj: no | |
| [19:54] <BluesKaj> hemanathan,Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories. Click the Kubuntu software tab,check all the boxes "X". The same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu. | |

| [22:26] <Negatratoron> I am leaning towards the first bit about the kernel panic as the source of the problem... | |
| [22:27] <Negatratoron> I'm sure that the freezes are not a hardware problem, because Windows XP runs fine and dandy | |
| [22:28] <Negatratoron> The computer just stops responding to everything, including any and all keyboard and mouse input | |
| [22:28] <Negatratoron> If there is a sound playing, it starts looping the most recent half second or so | |
| [22:29] <JoshOvki> Negatratoron : is it on the same harddrive as the XP? | |
| [22:29] <Negatratoron> no | |
| [22:29] <JoshOvki> could be a failing drive, does it click at all? | |
| [22:29] <Negatratoron> nope | |
| [22:30] <JoshOvki> no change in noise as it happens (apart from the music) | |
| [22:30] <Negatratoron> What? | |
| [22:30] <JoshOvki> The computer doesnt make any unusual noises as it crashes? | |
| [22:30] <Negatratoron> no, it doesn't | |
| [22:31] <JoshOvki> hmmm. not sure then sorry | |
| [22:31] <Negatratoron> Thank you anyway | |
| [22:31] <Negatratoron> I'm just kind of lost :) | |
| [22:36] <ScorpKing> Negatratoron: it should say why you get a kernel panic | |
| [22:36] <Negatratoron> Where? | |
| [22:37] <Negatratoron> If you mean by the kernel panic message, I could try to get the computer to freeze and show that message again... | |
| [22:37] <e`DrAvEn> does kubuntu gutsy have a RT kernel by default? | |
| [22:37] <Negatratoron> Do you know if there is a log file somewhere that would have this stuff? | |
| [22:37] <ScorpKing> yeah. there's usually some usefull msg before you get a kernel panic | |
| [22:38] <ScorpKing> Negatratoron: all logs are in /var/log/ | |
| [22:38] <Negatratoron> Oh, I forgot to type a bit into the pastebin | |
| [22:39] <Negatratoron> Oh, no I didn't | |

| [23:15] <crweb> sudo apt-get install samba | |
| [23:15] <crweb> venik: thats because it is searching for Windows shared printers via Windows File Sharing | |
| [23:15] <crweb> you would have to setup kubuntu for windows file sharing with samba | |

| [23:39] <shinda> sorry i was just in here a minute ago, talking about random system halts, anyways it happened again, someone mentioned free in konsole, | |
| [23:39] <shinda> I get for swap: Swap: 1502036 0 1502036 | |
| [23:40] <ScorpKing> shinda: oh ok. swap is on then. | |
| [23:42] <ScorpKing> shinda: does it stops working after a while of being logged in? | |
| [23:43] <shinda> ScorpKing, it differs last time it halted was after less then 30 mins, other times longer, like maybe a day | |
| [23:44] <filo1234> hola1: maybe come on | |
| [23:44] <ScorpKing> shinda: weird. anything in the logs? maybe do a ram test | |

| [23:48] <ScorpKing> shinda: the livecd or the last grub entry. it's usually a lack of memory that cause that as far as i know | |
