| [00:00] <cannon> the type am try to extract is rar ... not had probs with it before | |
| [00:01] <algyz> cannon: sudo apt-get install rar unrar | |
| [00:01] <chalcedony> nonewmsgs: a2ps worked .. so how do i get opera to work? | |
| [00:01] <cannon> k | |
| [00:01] <dwidmann> chalcedony: won't it start? | |
| [00:02] <nonewmsgs> dwidmann: she wants to print | |
| [00:02] <dwidmann> ah | |
| [00:02] <cannon> yey, i can watch movies again! :D | |
| [00:02] <cannon> thanks algyz | |
| [00:02] <algyz> ;) | |
| [00:02] <dwidmann> If you've got cups setup opera should be able to print using cups ....... worked for me without any additional work, hmmm | |
| [00:03] <nonewmsgs> dwidmann: she had some problem from priter sharing that recently stopped working | |
| [00:04] <chalcedony> dwidmann: it did work.. my husband wants the new printer to print BOTH sides of the paper.. | |
| [00:04] * dwidmann nods | |
| [00:04] <cannon> hmmm, pizza, linux and a movie! :) | |
| [00:05] <dwidmann> chalcedony: did and still does? or is it related to switching the duplex option that makes it not work? | |
| [00:05] <algyz> cannon: also I'd prefer install karchiver, good thing to manage with archives | |
| [00:06] <dwidmann> Ark would be awesome if it had a better UI and was more stable ..... | |
| [00:07] <cannon> i'll look into it :) | |
| [00:09] <chalcedony> dwidmann: chull is my husband, we had an HP 7210 .. that worked | |
| [00:09] <chalcedony> we got the HP L 7780 | |
| [00:10] <chalcedony> it is supposed to print both and single sided documents and print from both the upper and lower trays | |
| [00:10] <chalcedony> so it has to have somewhere to tell it that | |
| [00:11] <chalcedony> HP_L7780 Properties lists two possible names | |
| [00:11] <chalcedony> IPP Printer or printer on CUPS server (IPP) and | |
| [00:12] <chalcedony> TCP/Socket, HP JetDirect, Raw connection .. which shows port 9100 | |
| [00:12] <chalcedony> that one did print .. at least from a2ps | |
| [00:13] <chalcedony> the CUPS does not print at all | |
| [00:13] <chalcedony> or maybe only the test page | |
| [00:13] <dwidmann> hmm, if it can handle the test page it should do the rest :s | |
| [00:14] <chalcedony> nonewmsgs dwidmann ? | |
| [00:14] <dwidmann> at least single sided ........ | |
| [00:14] <chalcedony> hmm | |
| [00:14] <nonewmsgs> which is why i suggested testing it under gedit | |
| [00:14] <dwidmann> openprinting.org says the HP L7700 should be supported | |
| [00:14] <chalcedony> i should have something on gedit open somewhere | |
| [00:14] <dwidmann> nonewmsgs: or kate, no reason to install gedit :) | |
| [00:15] <nonewmsgs> no she uses gnome | |
| [00:15] <nonewmsgs> her husband uses K | |
| [00:15] <nonewmsgs> opposites attract ;) | |
| [00:15] <dwidmann> :s | |
| [00:15] <dwidmann> weird couple | |
| [00:15] <chalcedony> linux is so wonderful .. everyone can have lots of individual choices | |
| [00:15] <dwidmann> also odd choice of channel, swiitching off on the same nick? Ah, that must be it .... I think | |
| [00:16] <dwidmann> indeed | |
| [00:16] <chalcedony> don't you love freenode's making nicks link ? | |
| [00:16] <nonewmsgs> i like this chanel better than #ubuntu. it has the right amount of joking around and number of people to help | |
| [00:17] <nonewmsgs> sometimes that other one gets to be quite a fustercluck | |
| [00:17] <chalcedony> nonewmsgs: agreed | |
| [00:17] * dwidmann gets yelled at more than enough for joking around half the time | |
| [00:17] <chalcedony> dwidmann: *hug* | |
| [00:18] <chalcedony> i'm waiting for gedit to let me put a filename | |
| [00:18] <chalcedony> graphics load slowly | |
| [00:18] * chalcedony likes vim | |
| [00:19] <dwidmann> yay vim! | |
| [00:19] * nonewmsgs no wonder she | |
| [00:19] <nonewmsgs> s taken | |
| [00:20] <charwood> Does apt have a changelog feature? | |
| [00:20] <charwood> e.g. apt-cache changelog wesnoth | |
| [00:20] <dwidmann> charwood: A changelog? Well, the package should at the least, check /usr/share/doc/...... | |
| [00:20] <dwidmann> charwood: , oh that .... hmmm | |
| [00:21] <dwidmann> don't think it does | |
| [00:21] <chalcedony> dwidmann: :) | |
| [00:21] <charwood> Well it should. (-8 That'd be hot. Ok. Thanks dwidmann | |
| [00:22] <dwidmann> charwood: aptitude does | |
| [00:22] <charwood> dwidmann: Interesting. Aptitude alledgedly rocks. I should probably investigate it more. | |
| [00:23] <chalcedony> in printing jobs i have a list of jobs that it Stopped: job-stopped | |
| [00:23] <charwood> Oh wow. "%aptitude changelog wesnoth" does exactly what you'd want it to. That's tremendous. | |
| [00:23] <dwidmann> charwood: that's a war that usually ends up 50-50 as far as I've seen | |
| [00:24] <charwood> dwidmann: I imagine so. Well I have no particular beef with apt. It may not be perfect, but in my book it pretty much wins the "how things should be installed" game. | |
| [00:25] <dwidmann> charwood: agreed | |
| [00:26] <charwood> Ok. Here's another since this channel is on a roll thus far. Is there any way to get dolphin to display MIME types such that one can sort by them? | |
| [00:28] <chalcedony> dwidmann: nonewmsgs i deleted all the spare jobs and tried printing from both settings.. it's showing Printing: job printing ... but nothing gets printed. | |
| [00:28] <dwidmann> charwood: like sort by type? Dolphin definitely, D3lphin, not so sure | |
| [00:28] <chalcedony> that's on TCP/Socket, HP Jet Direct, Raw connectino | |
| [00:28] <dwidmann> charwood: dolphin also has a nice filter feature | |
| [00:29] <dwidmann> (don't think d3lphin does) | |
| [00:29] <chalcedony> you know.. i discoverd that my husband's version of xchat automatically brings up the log of the previous conversation! | |
| [00:30] <dwidmann> chalcedony: check /var/log/cups for errors maybe? | |
| [00:30] <dwidmann> (or similar) | |
| [00:31] <chalcedony> dwidmann: umm what am i looking for there? | |
| [00:31] <dwidmann> chalcedony: think that's a dir, there can be a file called "error_log[.#.gz]" | |
| [00:32] <dwidmann> or something like that | |
| [00:32] <chalcedony> error_log.7.gz | |
| [00:32] <dwidmann> if there's anything in the error_log then that's probably a sign of BAD. | |
| [00:32] <chalcedony> and error_log.1-7 | |
| [00:32] <dwidmann> error_log should be the most recent, the gz are archived errors | |
| [00:32] <charwood> dwidmann: I see. So d3lphin is the KDE 3.5 version? I think you're right that it does not have sort by type but it does have a filter (perhaps not as snazzy as dolphin's?) | |
| [00:33] <chalcedony> /var/log/cups$ less error_log.7.gz | |
| [00:33] <chalcedony> error_log.7.gz: Permission denied | |
| [00:33] <chalcedony> /var/log/cups$ | |
| [00:33] <jimmy51vinsky> does chroot work on the live cd? | |
| [00:33] <jimmy51vinsky> i keep getting exec error | |
| [00:33] <dwidmann> charwood: dolphins is indeed very snazzy, but the one in d3lphin should work fine if its there ... one simple use might be to type in the extension, not as good as checking by mimetype, but still not too bad | |
| [00:34] <dwidmann> jimmy51vinsky: well, if you're chrooting into a 64-bit system it has to be a 64-bit live cd, other than that, chrooting will work fine in pretty much all cases | |
| [00:34] <charwood> dwidmann: Yes. Thank you once more. Have a nice evening (well, it's evening here anyway). | |
| [00:34] <dwidmann> charwood: you're welcome, and I will do | |
| [00:36] <dwidmann> chalcedony: realistically I'm only trying to point you in the right direction so you can find somebody super smart and/or file a bug report .... I probably won't be able to decipher much with regards to the logs, anyhow, don't forget to use sudo :) | |
| [00:37] <chalcedony> dwidmann: having someone to talk to helps a LOT | |
| [00:37] <chalcedony> my son moved to texas and is being paid lots of money for his time | |
| [00:37] <chalcedony> he never did like tech support | |
| [00:38] <dwidmann> chalcedony: I agree that it helps quite a lot ..... most of the time when I have a problem it falls on deaf ears though :( | |
| [00:39] <chalcedony> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168231 does this at all relate to my problem? | |
| [00:39] <chalcedony> dwidmann: stick around .. there are usually people somewhere | |
| [00:41] <dwidmann> chalcedony: 1/5 of the time I can generally get help, 2/5 of the time I slap myself in the forehead for being an idiot, and the rest of the time I'm outta luck ... | |
| [00:41] <dwidmann> chalcedony: it might relate to your problem, what did your logs say? | |
| [00:42] <chalcedony> chull: dwidmann : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62788/ | |
| [00:42] <jimmy51vinsky> uh... oops | |
| [00:42] * jimmy51vinsky was using a 32 bit cd :) | |
| [00:42] <chalcedony> jimmy51vinsky: :) | |
| [00:42] <chalcedony> on 64 bit? | |
| [00:42] <b4l74z4r> is it possible to have a seperate taskbar on the bottom and a menubar at the top just like gnome in kde? | |
| [00:43] <dwidmann> jimmy51vinsky: that would do it .... I personally like systemrescue cd ..... has both of the kernels on the disk :) | |
| [00:44] <dwidmann> b4l74z4r: should be, yeah | |
| [00:45] <dwidmann> right click the panel, go to add new panel | |
| [00:45] <chalcedony> dwidmann: chull: this is the ongoing errors on printing from gedit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62789/ | |
| [00:46] <chalcedony> initial error: | |

| [00:49] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: stop pro-ftpd before you try to start pure-ftpd | |
| [00:49] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: they don't get along | |
| [00:49] <BluesKaj> yeah I removed it | |
| [00:50] <BluesKaj> altho it's still listed in system services , but it's not running | |
| [00:50] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: any other ftpds running? hmmmm, maybe some of the confifguring from pro-ftpd is overriding things that pure-ftpd would look to for defaults or something? | |
| [00:51] <chalcedony> "error_log.7.gz" may be a binary file. See it anyway? | |
| [00:51] <chalcedony> /var/log/cups$ | |
| [00:51] <dwidmann> chalcedony: that's why I said to try unzipping it first | |
| [00:51] <chalcedony> ahh | |
| [00:51] <chalcedony> <-- little old ladyi | |
| [00:52] <dwidmann> chalcedony: 'sok, I tried the same thing | |

| [00:53] <chalcedony> root@marcus:/var/log/cups# | |
| [00:53] <dwidmann> chalcedony: come to think of it, I started running into big trouble with my printer after grabbing upgrades from gutsy-update/gutsy-security/gutsy-backports (one of those) .... stock gutsy worked fine with my HP C5280 for everything I needed | |
| [00:53] <dwidmann> chalcedony: did it rename it error_log.1? | |
| [00:53] <chalcedony> hmmmm | |
| [00:53] <chalcedony> whatever he did made mine not work | |
| [00:53] <chalcedony> it *was* working | |
| [00:55] <dwidmann> chalcedony: try popping in a livecd and see if it works then, if it does then there are a handful of bugreports with potential fixes that I think I saw, but I looked at that after wiping it and putting the stock gutsy back on (have to have my working printer afterall) | |
| [01:10] <BluesKaj> wow that pproftpd is like doodoo on a blanket , can't get rid of it ...uninstalled with synaptic , sudo rm -rf where/file/was installed , ...you name it ...it's still listed in system services, altho not running ..unreal | |
| [01:11] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: try sudo dpkg --purge pro-ftpd ?? | |
| [01:12] <BluesKaj> dwidmann, says it's not installed | |
| [01:12] <dwidmann> (note: purge gets rid of the confs, which I'm sure you know, but it should also clear out the trail it left too | |
| [01:12] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: guess you already purged it then | |
| [01:13] <BluesKaj> but there's still this file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gproftpd | |
| [01:13] <dwidmann> BluesKaj: think it's a seperate package though isn't it? | |
| [01:13] <oloughlin75> Where is the settings for automatic turn off screen for a laptop? Mine turns off after like 10 minutes, but I don't want it to. | |
| [01:14] <dwidmann> oloughlin75: right click the desktop and go to configure, I think there's a setting for it in the screensaver screen .... appart from that try looking in systemsettings -> monitor & display | |
| [01:14] <BluesKaj> anyway dwidmann , i'm still getting the 'address in use' error | |
| [01:15] <dwidmann> What does google have to say about that error BluesKaj? | |
| [01:15] <oloughlin75> dwidmann: Screensaver is off, system settings modules won't load | |
| [01:16] <dwidmann> oloughlin75: incomplete upgrade? | |
| [01:16] <oloughlin75> It is updating, I will try in a minute | |
| [01:17] <oloughlin75> Ah I must have missed the power saving when I looked before. | |
| [01:17] <oloughlin75> Thanks dwidmann | |
| [01:17] <chalcedony> dwidmann: i gave up and phoned son.. his apartment complex was hit by a tornado last night.. he said he will poke the printer maybe tonight .. ill email him, is there anything i should tell him? | |
| [01:17] <dwidmann> you're welcome oloughlin75 | |
| [01:19] <dwidmann> chalcedony: if you've looked at the cups error logs (ie: gunzipped them and read them as root), including any error message that seems constant. Apart from that, have you tried doing it on the livecd yet? If that works then it was a problem with one of the upgraded packages. Poor him though, Tornadoes and houses don't play well together. | |
| [01:19] <chalcedony> dwidmann: i forgot about the live cd.. let me ask my husband ty for reminding me :) | |
| [01:20] <chalcedony> dwidmann: never mind he's asleep .. i sure don't want to close all my stuff and reboot this. | |
| [01:20] <dwidmann> Anyhow ....... I really need to get to bed, I need to wake up at 3:00am tomorrow | |
| [01:20] <chalcedony> ouch! | |
| [01:20] <chalcedony> dwidmann: i'll do it .. when he's awake | |
| [01:21] <chalcedony> dwidmann: have a great night | |
| [01:21] <dwidmann> chalcedony: indeed, but I am somewhat used to it at least | |
| [01:21] <dwidmann> Will do | |
| [01:21] <dwidmann> night | |
| [01:21] <chalcedony> :) | |
| [01:21] <chalcedony> sleep well | |

| [01:27] <andre__> My system errored while trying to configure libc6 for Hardy beta and now every solution I've tried tells me to run 'apt-get -f install'... which redisplays the error about failing to configure libc6. | |
| [01:27] <Odd-rationale> andre__: try asking in #ubuntu+1 | |
| [01:42] <adude> how do i get my audio back? | |
| [01:42] <cannon> hey guys, how do I change the password for root access? | |
| [01:43] <cannon> turn your speakers back on adude :P | |
| [01:43] <adude> tried that already | |
| [01:43] <cannon> lol | |
| [01:43] <adude> thay are turned on | |
| [01:43] <cannon> sorry, couldn't resist | |
| [01:44] <cannon> is kmix running? | |
| [01:44] <nosrednaekim> !root | |
| [01:44] <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 | |
| [01:44] <Odd-rationale> cannon: you want to change root's passwd? | |
| [01:44] <rootlinuxusr> no, don't change me! | |
| [01:44] <rootlinuxusr> xD | |
| [01:44] <cannon> LOL! | |
| [01:44] <cannon> yeah | |
| [01:45] <cannon> another page to bookmark :) | |
| [01:45] <adude> no kmix is running still no audio | |
| [01:45] <Odd-rationale> cannon: you did not activate the root account did you? | |
| [01:45] <cannon> i have no idea | |
| [01:46] <cannon> but the sudo password is the same as my cannon user | |
| [01:46] <rootlinuxusr> yeah | |
| [01:46] <rootlinuxusr> should be | |
| [01:46] <cannon> i have 2 others that use ssh | |
| [01:46] <SlicerDicer> anybody here familar with software raid? | |
| [01:46] <cannon> so if I change cannon's pass would it change sudo's too? | |
| [01:47] <Odd-rationale> cannon: everyone in the admin groups can use sudo with their own passwd | |
| [01:47] <rootlinuxusr> look for the sudoers file | |
| [01:47] <Dr_willis> sudo is a very flexiable system. YOu could set up specific commands thta specific users could do via sudo. if you wanted to | |
| [01:48] <SlicerDicer> Dr_willis: I prefer sudo -s then just do what I need too instead of typing sudo everytime heh | |
| [01:48] <rootlinuxusr> Is there any way to mount a virtualbox hard drive? | |
| [01:48] <SlicerDicer> cause usually I am doing stupid stuff for quite a while heh | |
| [01:48] <Dr_willis> SlicerDicer, i tend to use 'sux' | |
| [01:48] <SlicerDicer> right now I am trying to figure out whats going on with my raid heh | |
| [01:48] <Dr_willis> but that wasent what he was asking bout.. :) | |
| [01:49] <SlicerDicer> I am not paying too much attention :) | |
| [01:49] <SlicerDicer> sorry | |
| [01:49] <adude> when i try to run amarok i get an error | |
| [01:49] <adude> xine failed to initialize any audio drivers | |
| [01:50] <adude> any way i can make xine initialize audio drivers? | |
| [01:50] <cannon> i wonder how many "different" docs there are at the ubuntu.com site | |
| [01:51] <cannon> gn all | |
| [01:51] <rootlinuxusr> night | |

| [01:54] <mcgub_> it's for alsa drivers | |
| [01:54] <adude> i don't have audio anywhere else either | |

| [02:01] <jimmy51vinsky> it's really not there | |
| [02:01] <jimmy51vinsky> :) | |
| [02:01] <Dr_willis> jimmy51vinsky, you mean hd0 dosent exist? | |
| [02:01] <jimmy51vinsky> is installing grub not feasible with the kubuntu live cd | |
| [02:01] <jimmy51vinsky> hd0 exists, but there is absolutely no grub folder | |
| [02:01] <jimmy51vinsky> or menu.lst | |
| === julio is now known as Bugs_BunnyBR | |
| [02:01] <BluesKaj> does your /boot/grub/menu.lst not exist / | |
| [02:01] <BluesKaj> ? | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> ok... on the livecd, it does | |
| [02:02] <Dr_willis> jimmy51vinsky, you dont have to have ./boot/ on the same disk as you are install ing grub to. | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> i only have one disk | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> i have one HDD | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> it doesn't boot | |
| [02:02] <Dr_willis> one disk, but how many partitions? | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> i've booted to the kubuntu live cd | |
| [02:02] <Dr_willis> Its possible its missing. :) | |
| [02:02] <jimmy51vinsky> two partitions, one ext3 and one swap | |
| [02:03] <jimmy51vinsky> on my ext3 partition, i have a /boot folder | |
| [02:03] <Bugs_BunnyBR> hello people..I need to know how I can remaster the kubuntu..someone can help me ?? | |
| [02:03] <jimmy51vinsky> but no /grub folder | |
| [02:03] <jimmy51vinsky> i would really really like to install grub on hd0 | |
| [02:03] <richard> cual es la pagina en español please | |
| [02:03] <Dr_willis> jimmy51vinsky, there is that super-grub boot disk web site. that has floppy images for the. I recall | |
| [02:03] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs_BunnyBR, just mood each step, kdm themes, the usplash theme, the distro name, it will still be based on debian, oh, and add the soft you need | |
| [02:03] <Odd-rationale> !es | richard | |
| [02:03] <ubotu> richard: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | |
| [02:03] <_ZeuZ_> richard | |
| [02:04] <_ZeuZ_> anda a kubuntu-es | |
| [02:04] <richard> tank you | |
| [02:04] <patoe1> hey | |
| [02:04] <Bugs_BunnyBR> yes..but ..how I can chance the distro name in the boot on grub ? | |
| [02:04] <patoe1> my compiler isnt working :S | |
| [02:04] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs | |
| [02:05] <rootlinuxusr> startup-manager? | |
| [02:05] <rootlinuxusr> for the grub thingie | |
| [02:05] <_ZeuZ_> edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and just change the name | |
| [02:05] <Odd-rationale> Bugs_BunnyBR: edit the menu.lst file | |
| [02:05] <_ZeuZ_> or do ass rootlinuxusr says, wich will require you to install that package | |
| [02:05] <Odd-rationale> ass rootlinuxusr ? | |
| [02:05] <rootlinuxusr> yes, rootlinuxusr the ass. | |
| [02:05] <rootlinuxusr> =] | |
| [02:05] <Bugs_BunnyBR> do you have some tuto ? | |
| [02:06] <Bugs_BunnyBR> I will learn about the startup-manager :D | |
| [02:06] <Odd-rationale> Bugs_BunnyBR: to "kdesudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" then under the title heading, change it to whatever you want | |
| [02:06] <Dr_willis> Ive seen several ubuntu tutoral web sites with info on remastering the ubuntu cd;s | |
| [02:06] <Dr_willis> If thats what you are refering to. | |
| [02:06] <_ZeuZ_> sorry typo | |
| [02:07] <rootlinuxusr> sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst, save to desktop, go back to terminal cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lstbak cp ~/Desktop/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst | |
| [02:07] <Bugs_BunnyBR> I also see to many..but none talking about chance the boot screen | |
| [02:08] <Dr_willis> its all defined in the menu.lst for the grub menus. | |
| [02:09] <_ZeuZ_> THe boot screen goes with usplash, not with grub, unless you install gfxboot | |
| [02:09] <rootlinuxusr> is there anyway to mount a virtualbox virtual hard drive under a AMD64, kubuntu 7.1 system? | |
| [02:09] <_ZeuZ_> yes | |
| [02:09] <_ZeuZ_> mount -t filesystem /wherever/the/file/is /dev/Virtual | |
| [02:10] <Bugs_BunnyBR> so I also will need study how change the upslash | |
| [02:10] <Bugs_BunnyBR> :D | |
| [02:10] <Bugs_BunnyBR> thanks | |
| [02:10] <_ZeuZ_> as you might now, the file you create to simulate the OS native partition, or such, is formated that way, so you can normally moyunt it | |
| [02:10] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs, install startupmanager (sum) and download new usplash themes, then change them with sum | |
| [02:11] <_ZeuZ_> damned winmodems... | |
| [02:12] <Bugs_BunnyBR> _ZeuZ_ I can create my owner usplash? | |
| [02:12] <_ZeuZ_> yes sir, but it takhoughes work t | |
| [02:12] <rootlinuxusr> mount: ~/.VirtualBox/VDI/Ubuntu.vdi is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?) | |
| [02:12] <_ZeuZ_> sorry, touchpad problem | |
| [02:13] <_ZeuZ_> what did you mount it as? | |
| [02:13] <rootlinuxusr> ext3, /media/test | |
| [02:13] <Dr_willis> I thought .vdi had to be converted to raw image files first | |
| [02:13] <_ZeuZ_> did you create the folder /media/test? | |
| [02:13] <rootlinuxusr> yes | |
| [02:14] <_ZeuZ_> rather mount it to something in /mnt | |
| [02:14] <_ZeuZ_> Dr_Willis, perhaps | |
| [02:14] <rootlinuxusr> tried under /mnt/test too...nadda | |
| [02:14] <Bugs_BunnyBR> _ZeuZ_, sorry ..but I can't understand.. what is "takhoughes"..?Enghish isn't my fisrt lang.. | |
| [02:15] <_ZeuZ_> Does anybody knows the beta version of that thing that downloads torrents and then sends you the link with a direct download link? read it in slashdot nad nedint it now... | |
| [02:15] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs, it was my mistake | |
| [02:15] <rootlinuxusr> would like to know that too... | |
| [02:15] <_ZeuZ_> rootlinuxusr, gonna check now in barrapunto, where I saw it | |

| [02:22] <rootlinuxusr> lolwut? | |
| [02:22] <nosrednaekim> Bugs_BunnyBR: yes | |
| [02:22] <Bugs_BunnyBR> someone here knows why the installer crashes (in the 8.04 beta) when is not in enghish ? | |
| [02:22] <Bugs_BunnyBR> how to fix? | |
| [02:23] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs, here in spanish worked just fine | |
| [02:23] <_ZeuZ_> hehe, just found a torrent for the commercial hsf winmodem drivers for Linux ^^ sourcode included... so soon I'll be compiling it for plataforms and packing it... | |
| [02:24] <rootlinuxusr> nice | |
| [02:24] <_ZeuZ_> pitty that now I'm using 56kbps, but if someone wants to download it for me (22mb) and upload it to rapidshare, or to my own FTP, I'll be glad to try to make it into the repos | |
| [02:25] <Bugs_BunnyBR> humm..the new developer of kurumin linux..now based in kubuntu..tell which it's crashes.. | |
| [02:26] <rootlinuxusr> I'll do it | |
| [02:26] <_ZeuZ_> Well, I do not use Kubuntu, but tested the last snapshoot and had no trouble... I'm a Debian user. | |
| [02:27] <Bugs_BunnyBR> I love debian..but need to work with kubuntu in my project.. | |
| [02:27] <Bugs_BunnyBR> :D | |
| [02:27] <_ZeuZ_> why the need? If Kubuntu, and any Ubuntu, is based on Debian ;) | |
| [02:28] <greeg> i have an intel celeron 32bit. I want to download and install kubuntu 7.10 and have not just a boot disk. how do i know which to get off http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/ ? | |
| [02:28] <Bugs_BunnyBR> yes..but the kubuntu kernel it's newer | |
| [02:28] <Bugs_BunnyBR> I the packages also.. | |
| [02:28] <Bugs_BunnyBR> and* | |
| [02:28] <rootlinuxusr> you want the 7.10 i386 package | |
| [02:28] <rootlinuxusr> desktop | |
| [02:29] <rootlinuxusr> http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | |
| [02:29] <rootlinuxusr> intel = i386, desktop = most users, alternative is for like server install or with additional obscure programs | |
| [02:30] <greeg> thanx root | |
| [02:30] <Bugs_BunnyBR> my dsitro will bee instaled in quad cores..I alredy install the ubuntu 7.10 in one..and have to upgrade to the development version cause o problens.. | |
| [02:30] <rootlinuxusr> greeg, no probs. =] | |
| [02:30] <rootlinuxusr> amd 64bit = amd64 obviously. xD | |
| [02:31] <greeg> rootlinuxusr: will this boot into a desktop environment and then install from there? | |
| [02:31] <will00> ey im tryin to get kubuntu installed here and whenever i reboot after installation, i get a grub error 15, it goes to the grub menu but then i get the error 15, i looked in my menu.lst and it points to the right files, any other ideas? | |
| [02:31] <rootlinuxusr> it'll boot to a desktop where there will be an install icon on the desktop | |
| [02:31] <rootlinuxusr> yes | |
| [02:31] <_ZeuZ_> No, it's not newer. | |
| [02:31] <rootlinuxusr> what else do you have installed? | |
| [02:31] <_ZeuZ_> You can install the kernel you wany. | |
| [02:32] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs, that's crap. You can have that kernel, if you move to Debian SID, which Ubuntu is based on. | |
| [02:32] <_ZeuZ_> Along with the versions of the DEB packages that are there | |
| [02:32] <kkerwin> Hi. I've tried asking on #kontact, but the channel seems to be dead. I'm trying to change the background color of Kontact by using the color configurator in the KDE3 control panel. It doesn't seem to be working: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2804/snapshotaw3.jpg | |
| [02:33] <kkerwin> In the mentioned picture, you can see kontact on the left, and another application that has the desired theme on the right. | |
| [02:33] <kkerwin> I've noticed that a few other applications have the same issues. | |
| [02:33] <_ZeuZ_> Wiii!! Me = Happy, downloading the 22mb torrent with the new Imageshack system... | |
| [02:33] <Bugs_BunnyBR> yes..I can compile the kernel..but and when someone want to install the Nvidia driver by the ubuntu repository and it dont work? | |
| [02:33] <kkerwin> And they're all KDE3 apps. (Yes, I realize that I'm using KDE4 at present) | |
| [02:34] <will00> anyone know why i cant get a good reboot off a fresh install? | |
| [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> you do not need to | |
| [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> you can have a precompiled one. | |
| [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> And same for the propietary drivers of nVidia. | |
| [02:34] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: are there kontact specific settings? | |
| [02:34] <Bugs_BunnyBR> humm | |
| [02:34] <nosrednaekim> (there easily could be, amarok has its own) | |
| [02:34] <rootlinuxusr> anybody know how to get gfire working in pidgin? | |
| [02:34] <Dr_willis> _ZeuZ_, getting torentfiles over imageshack? :) | |
| [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> Dr_willis, tor.imageshack or something like that xD | |
| [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> works amazingly well | |
| [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> the new is on torrent freak | |
| [02:35] <rootlinuxusr> http://tor.imageshack.us/tor/ | |
| [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> and that's the link I pasted to rootlinuxusr 5 minutes ago xD | |
| [02:35] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Not that seem to allow configuration of the window background. Care to give it a second look for me? | |
| [02:36] <rootlinuxusr> yes | |
| [02:36] <_ZeuZ_> Wonder if they allow resuming downloads... | |
| [02:36] <Bugs_BunnyBR> well..see you boys.. thanks a lot !! I will be here again.. | |
| [02:36] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: settings->appearnce->colors? | |
| [02:36] <_ZeuZ_> (from the direct ones) | |
| [02:36] <will00> i keep gettin a grub error 15 anyone got any idea what thats about? | |
| [02:37] <_ZeuZ_> I'm out guys, take care, and do not abuse of Imageshacks tor! | |
| [02:37] <_ZeuZ_> xD | |
| [02:37] <rootlinuxusr> too late | |
| [02:37] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Yes, but it doesn't seem to have an option for the window background. | |
| [02:38] <rootlinuxusr> i have no idea what grub error 15 is but i have someone who does | |
| [02:38] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: you are in kde4? | |
| [02:38] <rootlinuxusr> http://www.google.com/search?q=grub+error+15&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | |
| [02:38] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Yes. | |
| [02:38] <will00> already workin through that | |
| [02:38] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: try restarting kde4.... the kde3 settings might not reset or something | |
| [02:38] <_ZeuZ_> That's it, gotta sleep some before this kills me... g'night boys | |
| [02:39] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Ok. Will do. Thank you, yet again, for your help on this. :-) | |
| [02:40] <nosrednaekim> ok | |
| [02:41] <greeg> rootlinuxusr: turns out i have burned that iso you suggested. i thought it was a boot disk (similar to knoppix), but there was a message stating a block error (probobly a scratch on the cd), but it booted to the desktop. is that 1 logical block error a big deal? | |

| [02:41] <rootlinuxusr> greeg, it shouldn't be | |
| [02:41] <rootlinuxusr> try it and see if it installs. | |
| [02:42] <rootlinuxusr> or if nothing else, try installing it via virtualbox | |
| [02:42] <rootlinuxusr> set that as a virtually mounted CD | |
| [02:42] <rootlinuxusr> either that or clean the disk | |

| [02:49] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Pardon. The panel, not the taskbar, is gone. | |
| [02:49] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: 0.o | |
| [02:49] <nosrednaekim> woah | |
| [02:50] <kkerwin> Ok. Apparently that's not supposed to happen ... | |
| [02:50] <nosrednaekim> no... | |
| [02:50] <nosrednaekim> kkerwin: erase your plasmarc | |
| [02:50] <BluesKaj> kkerwin, yeah kde4 panel is very confusing to me ...doesn't seem to follow the same rules as kde3 | |

| [02:51] <nosrednaekim> in .kde4/share/config | |
| [02:51] <ncfi1013> can anybody tell me what the problem might be when nero or k3b won't work right | |
| [02:51] <BluesKaj> nero is a windows app | |
| [02:52] <kkerwin> nosrednaekim: Ok. That seemed to do it. | |
| [02:52] <ncfi1013> my roommate uses it in linux | |
| [02:52] <BluesKaj> yeah, but nero for linux is not worth the effort | |
| [02:53] <kkerwin> Ok. Now if I can just figure out the color-scheming in kontact. | |
| [02:53] <BluesKaj> what are you trying to do ncfi1013 ? | |
| [02:53] <ganymede> hello, is anyone else noticing that some variants for adobe professional fonts don't show up in kcontrol's font configuration module? for instance, i don't see the condensed and expanded versions of adobe myraid pro in the font style list | |
| [02:53] <ganymede> this is in kde 3.5.9, by the way | |
| [02:54] <ncfi1013> just burn movies on my harddrive onto a disk | |
| [02:55] <Dr_willis> run the apps from a terminal, look for error messages. | |
| [02:55] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, avi files , divx. xvid ? | |
| [02:55] <ncfi1013> all of them | |
| [02:55] <Dr_willis> whats 'not working right' even mean.... | |
| [02:55] <Dr_willis> k3b last i checked did not convert avi to dvd video format. to make dvd video disks. | |
| [02:56] <Dr_willis> i dident think nero for linux did either. | |
| [02:56] <ncfi1013> when i make the playlist to burn and put in a blank disc the burn option is grayed out | |
| [02:56] <Dr_willis> You are putting avi/video files in the playlist? | |
| [02:57] <ncfi1013> yes | |
| [02:57] <Dr_willis> the playlist is just for audio/mp3 audio cd's i thought. | |
| [02:57] <ncfi1013> as files not movies | |
| [02:57] <Dr_willis> try other normal files? | |
| [02:57] <BluesKaj> Dr_willis, divx & xvid /avi files can be burned to dvd by using the data dvd option in k3b. Mos tnewer stand alone player will play them . | |
| [02:57] <juan_> hello everyone, i am new to kubuntu and i got no sound i can see the speaker on the taskbas but it is marked with an X and says mixer cannot be found, anyone can help? | |
| [02:57] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj, yep. But thats not the same as a dvd video. :) | |
| [02:58] <nosrednaekim> juan_: yes, what sound chipset do you have? | |
| [02:58] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj, sounds like his setup isent seeing the cd/dvd burners/disks. so not letting it start a burn | |
| [02:58] <BluesKaj> well Dr_willis , he didn't specify :) | |
| [02:58] <juan_> nosrednaekim: when i used another distro live cd it installled like HDA something... i think it is a realtek... not sure | |
| [02:58] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj, yep.. we have to have ESP+10 in this channel | |
| [02:58] <BluesKaj> I think he's using the wrong options in k3b | |

| [02:58] <ncfi1013> my roommate suggests that i get a new cd/dvd burner drive | |
| [02:59] <Mutedsage> Hi all, | |
| [02:59] <Dr_willis> i suggest running kd3 from a console and look for error messages. Its possible thers some odd permission issue preventing you from accessing the burner right | |
| [03:00] <Dr_willis> you could as a test. try running k3b with 'sudo k3b' | |
| [03:00] <BluesKaj> ncfi1013, what's the file extension that your trying burn and what option are you choosing in k3b to do so ? | |
| [03:00] <ganymede> Dr_willis: in that case, maybe kdesu is more appropriate | |
| [03:01] <Dr_willis> You did select 'new data cd' or 'new data dvd' instead of 'new audio cd' i hope. :) | |
| [03:01] <Mutedsage> So I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. Everything is working properly (after a few apt-get fixes) except that the Nvidia-restricted drivers aren't working. Is there a fix for this or do I just need to wait for further updates? | |
| [03:01] <Dr_willis> ncfi1013, You are just wanting to make normal 'data' dvd's to archive the avi files rigth? | |
| [03:02] <BluesKaj> he's consulting with his roomate , the linux guy who uses nero | |
| [03:03] <Dr_willis> thats a scary statement.. :) | |
| [03:03] <Dr_willis> but i gotta run to work. | |
| [03:03] <Dr_willis> bye all........... | |
| [03:05] <Mutedsage> Or should I say: has anyone else had this problem with the beta? | |
| [03:06] <ncfi1013> this the output when i run k3b from the terminal: | |
| [03:06] <ncfi1013> http://pastebin.org/pastebin.php?dl=28905 | |

| [03:42] <nosrednaekim> yes Jamini | |
| [03:42] <Jamini> How is it? | |
| [03:44] <nosrednaekim> great | |
| [03:45] <Jamini> Thanks for letting me know. I'll probably be back on asking for questions. | |
| [03:46] <dennister> g'evening all...have a difficult question someone asked me earlier today that I don't even understand...out of my league | |
| [03:46] <epimeth_> dennister: ask away | |
| [03:46] <dennister> "How difficult would it be for you to create a boot disk to boot linux into a telnet terminal? The IP address can be fixed." | |
| [03:47] <dennister> <------has never even seen a telnet terminal | |
| [03:47] <epimeth_> dennister: I'm not sure the person actually knows what he's asking | |
| [03:47] <epimeth_> dennister: open console and type in 'telnet' | |
| [03:47] <Frederick> folks afterupgrading my firefox is completelling broken with erros of assertion failed anyone had the same problem? | |
| [03:48] <epimeth_> Frederick: nope... try updating again? | |
| [03:48] <dennister> epimeth_: exactly...hardware technician who really understands hardware, windows, etc., but not linux at all | |
| [03:48] <epimeth_> dennister: you or the person who asked? | |
| [03:49] <Frederick> can try but not the case | |
| [03:49] <dennister> epimeth_: k...i'm in some kind of dialogue ...telnet> | |
| [03:49] <dennister> epimeth_: the person who asked me this question ^^^ i put i quotes | |
| [03:49] <epimeth_> dennister: you have now seen a telnet client :-) | |
| [03:50] <epimeth_> dennister: telnet is an application for opening tcp connections | |
| [03:51] <dennister> lol...yes, but i have a linux box...his terminals he's talking about are probably not linux boxes...winblows people think in terms of boot disks (floppies); linux people think in terms of booting with livecd's | |
| [03:51] <epimeth_> dennister: telnet is the same anywhere | |
| [03:53] <dennister> yes, i'm sure it is, and i know it's ancient (not secure, either)...what his client probably has is a bunch of dumb terminals with only a floppy drive, attached to a server...is there a linux distro that can be run from a floppy? | |
| [03:53] <epimeth_> how dumb are the terminals? | |
| [03:55] <dennister> i'm just trying to figure out how to answer him ...i have no idea how dumb they are...i think i'll phone him tomorrow and aska few pertinent questions...he mentioned there might be some $ in it for me to make such a boot disk.......he also has a new mobo for me :) | |
| [03:57] <epimeth_> dennister: all he has to do is install linux on the server and open up telnet access | |
| [03:57] <epimeth_> dennister: it is disabled by default because, as you say, it is unsecure | |
| [03:57] <epimeth_> dennister: really, there is not much difference between "telnetting" into a box and "sshing" to a box, except for that ssh is secure | |
| [03:58] <epimeth_> dennister: no boot disk, no nothing | |
| [03:58] <dennister> yes...unless there's some corporate rule against this...heck, it could be connected to a mainframe you cannot install linux onto...i just thought some more | |
| [03:59] <dennister> some more knowledgeable telnet-knowledgeable networking people in the channel could help me clarify the questions I'll be asking him | |
| [04:00] <dennister> epimeth_: thanks | |

| [04:02] <epimeth_> look. telnet is an application for creating a tcp connection to a service. the same way you can access multiple tty's with ctrl+f1-6, you can access a terminal through telnet if you enable it | |

| [04:03] <juan_> nosrednaekim: whats hardy? | |

| [04:38] <epimeth_> calcmandan: what was the command you executed? | |
| [04:39] <calcmandan> epimeth_: it was from kgpg. not from konsole. | |
| [04:39] <epimeth_> oh | |
| [04:39] <epimeth_> ummm | |
| [04:39] <calcmandan> i thought maybe i needed to use kdesu to generate the key, but that didn;'t make sense. | |
| [04:39] <epimeth_> dunno... are you rydan? | |
| [04:40] <epimeth_> yea, it doesn't | |
| [04:40] <calcmandan> yes, rydan is the computer. | |
| [04:41] <epimeth_> the computer? | |
| [04:41] <epimeth_> not the user? | |
| [04:41] <calcmandan> well, i meant it's this computer. rydan is the user. | |
| [04:41] <calcmandan> hmm, maybe i need to add gpg group | |
| [04:42] <epimeth_> it should probably have done that on install | |
| [04:42] <calcmandan> nope. no such group. | |
| [04:42] <epimeth_> how did you install? | |
| [04:42] <calcmandan> apt repo. | |
| [04:43] <calcmandan> i wish i could've just downloaded my last public key before i wiped the drive. | |
| [04:44] <epimeth_> you lost your private key? | |
| [04:45] <calcmandan> i forgot to back it up. | |
| [04:46] <epimeth_> ouch | |
| [04:46] <calcmandan> anyway, one problem at a time. :) | |
| [04:46] <epimeth_> anyway... try this maybe? | |
| [04:46] <epimeth_> http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/wolves/2005-March/013019.html | |
| [04:47] <calcmandan> Yeah saw that. | |
| [04:47] <calcmandan> thanks | |
| [04:47] <calcmandan> the description he gave the dude was exactly what i did to attempt creating a key pair. | |
| [04:47] <calcmandan> and i didn't do it from root. | |
| [04:47] <epimeth_> ahh | |
| [04:48] <calcmandan> i figure if i need to, it would've prompted me to. | |
| [04:48] <calcmandan> well, last time i did it from kommand. | |
| [04:48] <epimeth_> look, I don't know anything about this program... have you tried using a cli tool? | |
| [04:49] <calcmandan> i really do appreciate your suggestions. | |
| [04:49] <rickey> my BMPx and amarok will not play radio streams ,it,s asking for decoders . what do i need | |
| [04:49] <calcmandan> rickey: what radio streams are you trying to play? | |
| [04:50] <rickey> just radio stations | |
| [04:50] <calcmandan> some may use windows media codecs. | |
| [04:51] <rickey> are there not speical ones for radio | |
| [04:51] <calcmandan> depends on the station. | |
| [04:51] <epimeth_> calcmandan: so why don't you do it from the cli? | |
| [04:52] <rickey> what is cli? | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> epimeth_: I've never used it and frankly don't know what it is. | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> i will look it up though. right now. | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> oh duh | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> command likne | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> yeah, i used it the last time i greated my keypair. | |
| [04:53] <calcmandan> i thought it'd be nice to use a nice gui tool for it and ensure everything happens. | |
| [04:55] <calcmandan> epimeth_: accordijng to cli, i have no permission to access /home~/.gnupu. i ls'd it with sudo and it worked. i need to change permissions. | |
| [04:56] <calcmandan> yeah it was owned by root. | |
| [04:57] <calcmandan> so, as me I couldn't create a key because it wasn't root. | |
| [04:57] <calcmandan> i changed user to me and it worked. voila. | |
| [04:57] <calcmandan> problem 2: | |

| [04:58] <flaccid> whats the kde program for making a cue sheet from an audio cd? | |
| [04:58] <epimeth_> lol | |
| [04:58] <epimeth_> should have asked you that, but it seemed too obvious :-) | |
| [04:59] <calcmandan> yeah it was too obvious. so obvious i didn't even bother looking. | |
| [04:59] <epimeth_> sorry... dunno what magnatunes is... have you tried googling? | |
| [04:59] <juan_> is there an easiest way of doing this?? >>if you have no sound, run dmesg and look for the string "snd_"<< | |
| [05:02] <calcmandan> oh the office is on. | |
| [05:07] <rickey> dose anyone know what decoder or codecs package i need to install , to listen to radio on amaork | |
| [05:08] <pteague> bah... is there any way i can get get the kde menu editor to sort everything in alpha order on the name instead of alpha order on the description? if i'm looking for abiword i don't want to be looking at the bottom of the list (Word Processor...) | |

| [05:11] <rickey> it,s asking for decoders | |
| [05:11] <genii> I'm only here briefly so cannot give extended help other than suggesting to retry the exact steps listed on the link. Remember if a kernel upgrade is done , you will need also to redo the instructions over | |

| [05:18] <pteague> i believe you need to follow those instructions & like i said... i still have to sit there & double click the radio station several times in a row to get it to finally decide to load the codec... & yes, that's what i'm saying - i get that exact same message | |

| [07:31] <ds_> Hello | |
| [07:31] <ds_> Can someone help me | |
| [07:31] <ds_> hello? | |
| [07:32] <Claybrain145> depends what you need help with | |
| [07:32] <ubunturos> !ask | ds | |
| [07:32] <ubotu> ds: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | |
| [07:32] <Claybrain145> ? | |
| [07:32] <ds_> Fine | |
| [07:33] <ds_> I'm having trouble installing Gutsy | |
| [07:33] <ds_> Because | |
| [07:33] <ds_> I/O error, disc read error....but I've tried many discs and a good source for download | |
| [07:33] <ds_> I read something about maybe fixing the Windows MBR or something | |
| [07:33] <ds_> with super grub | |
| [07:33] <ds_> Am I in the wrong direction? | |
| [07:34] <Claybrain145> is this a fresh install, or are your trying to dual boot between windows and kubuntu? | |
| [07:34] <ds_> fresh | |
| [07:34] <eagles0513875> and is it vista or xp cuz if its vista i read u have to install it after u install the linux os | |
| [07:34] <ds_> btw, I'm using my dual boot computer, next to the other computer...so, you can walk me through anything | |
| [07:34] <ds_> xp | |
| [07:34] <ds_> SP2 | |
| [07:35] <ubunturos> Jucato: were you using Debian GNU/Linux before Kubuntu? | |
| [07:35] <ds_> No SP | |
| [07:35] <ds_> actually | |
| [07:35] <eagles0513875> thats interesting i had xp duel boot never had any issues | |
| [07:35] * Claybrain145 is out of the conversation due to carbon based error. | |
| [07:35] <ds_> the prob isnt with the dual boot comp | |
| [07:35] <Jucato> ubunturos: no. Kubuntu was my first GNU/Linux distro | |
| [07:35] <eagles0513875> ds_: oh | |
| [07:35] <ds_> its with the other comp with only Xp on it, I want to whipe and go ubuntu | |
| [07:35] <ds_> and it's amd64 | |
| [07:36] <ds_> this comp isn't | |
| [07:37] <ds_> Any ideas | |
| [07:38] <ds_> I've loaded super grub to repaid MBR but, can't even find the option to | |
| [07:38] <ds_> If I should | |
| [07:44] <Claybrain145> ds_ - have you tried burning on a different manufacturer media? EG instead of memorex, try verbatim or sony? | |
| [07:45] <Claybrain145> different CD-RW drives like different kinds of media over others, or so I've noticed. | |
| [07:47] <Claybrain145> or you could always try ordering a copy: https://shipit.kubuntu.org/ | |
| [08:22] <eagles0513875> what is up everyone | |
| [08:32] <mefisto__> can anyone recommend an online tutorial for regular expressions? | |
| [08:32] <elena__> sal | |
| [08:32] <elena__> all | |
| [08:35] <Claybrain145> mefisto_ - for bash? | |
| [08:36] <mefisto__> Claybrain145: sure, anything will do. I'm sick of not understanding the first thing about it | |
| [08:36] <Claybrain145> http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/ | |
| [08:37] <Claybrain145> basic google search revealed: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/01/learn-how-to-use-regular-expressions.html | |

| [08:39] <mefisto__> thanks Claybrain145 ! | |
| [08:44] <Claybrain145> ohh nice... I got Xchat working | |
| [08:44] <Claybrain145> that was easier than I thought it'd be | |
| [08:44] <ubuntu> anyone alive in here? | |
| [08:44] <Claybrain145> no. | |
| [08:44] <Jucato> nope | |
| [08:44] <Claybrain145> no one here | |
| [08:44] <ubuntu> dam it | |
| [08:44] <Claybrain145> perhaps you should look at the other battlestar. | |
| [08:44] <ubuntu> man this kubuntu live demo is pretty good | |
| === ubuntu is now known as TheDrunkenMaster | |
| [08:45] <Claybrain145> I'm sure it looks even better if you are drunk. | |
| [08:45] <TheDrunkenMaster> pretty colors everywhere | |
| [08:45] <TheDrunkenMaster> the gnmoe version doesn't look this nice | |
| [08:46] <TheDrunkenMaster> althought still nice | |
| [08:46] <Claybrain145> funny... skipped gnome and went straight to KDE. | |
| [08:46] <TheDrunkenMaster> give it a try | |
| [08:46] <TheDrunkenMaster> get virtual Box | |
| [08:46] <TheDrunkenMaster> great progii | |
| [08:46] <Claybrain145> I already got that... I was going to install some edition of MS Windows | |
| [08:47] <TheDrunkenMaster> hmm yeah | |
| [08:47] <Claybrain145> then again, I have wine.... | |
| [08:47] <TheDrunkenMaster> i really only got it so i can switch between ubuntu, kubuntu, suse and red hat | |
| [08:47] <TheDrunkenMaster> trying to figure out which one i wanna go with | |
| [08:47] <Claybrain145> I've been meaning to install Red Hat... | |
| [08:47] <Claybrain145> or RHEL | |
| [08:48] <TheDrunkenMaster> the latest version is pretty good | |
| [08:48] <Claybrain145> what about CentOS? | |
| [08:48] <TheDrunkenMaster> never heard of it to be honest | |
| [08:48] <TheDrunkenMaster> worth looking into? | |
| [08:48] <Claybrain145> sorry, I'm still fairly new to this thing called linux... | |
| [08:48] <TheDrunkenMaster> oh yeah | |
| [08:48] <Claybrain145> so I've heard | |
| [08:48] <TheDrunkenMaster> don't sweat it | |
| [08:49] <Claybrain145> I've dabbed with Linux in MS Virtual Machine... | |
| [08:49] <TheDrunkenMaster> at least you don't have to type commands or worry about dependencies | |

| [10:04] <chull> wb eagles0513875 :) | |
| [10:05] <chull> now he's saying he wants to install a ps2 mouse, because his usb mouse keeps crashing at odd times | |
| [10:05] <chull> he's got a LOT of usb plugs and wiring | |
| [10:06] <chull> a lot of ports, too | |
| [10:06] <eagles0513875> im using a wireless usb mouse and its working fine | |
| [10:07] <chull> he can't remember very well since his stroke.. everything needs a cord to be able to find it | |
| [10:07] <chull> i wish his tv remote had a beeper like the phone | |
| [10:08] <dromer> hmm, somehow I can't play sound on video-files anymore (mplayer says Device or Resource busy, vlc gives oss audio output error: cannot open audio device) | |
| [10:09] <chull> dromer, on what? | |
| [10:09] <chull> i *used* to get that a long time ago.. before i upgraded to edgy | |
| [10:09] <dromer> eh, Gutsy I think | |
| [10:09] <mefisto__> dromer: does this fix it: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | |
| [10:10] <eagles0513875> chull: what version u using edgy feisty what | |
| [10:10] <dromer> mefisto__: nope: [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Device or resource busy | |
| [10:10] <chull> eagles0513875, my husband has gutsy kubuntu .. my personal computer is edgy | |
| [10:10] <dromer> I can play music btw (mpd) | |
| [10:11] <chull> edgy ubuntu .. i like gnome deskto | |
| [10:11] <chull> p | |
| [10:11] <eagles0513875> ok and he is having issues with his mouse | |
| [10:11] <mefisto__> dromer: are any audio-capable programs running? | |
| [10:11] <eagles0513875> booo lol | |
| [10:11] <dromer> mefisto__: mpd | |
| [10:11] <eagles0513875> how do i get rid of the splash screen during start up and shutdown | |
| [10:11] <chull> eagles0513875, i guess he says he gets 3 months out of them and then they crash | |
| [10:12] <eagles0513875> lol | |
| [10:12] <eagles0513875> he needs to stick to one mouse lol | |
| [10:12] <chull> mine seem to do pretty ok .. but if the cats spill milk into them it kind of ... isn't good. | |
| [10:12] <eagles0513875> lol | |
| [10:12] <eagles0513875> r both machines on surge protectors | |
| [10:13] <chull> eagles0513875, you bet! | |
| [10:13] <chull> i really hate reopening all those vim files | |
| [10:13] <eagles0513875> it could be that a spike in electricity that surge protectors wont protectu again might have friend his ps2 and usb ports at least someofthem | |
| [10:13] <eagles0513875> lol | |
| [10:13] <eagles0513875> chull: i wanna get rid of the splash screen during startup and boot how do i do that | |
| [10:14] <chalxedony> eagles0513875 i dunno ill take a look | |
| [10:14] <dromer> so, no ideas on my sound prob? :/ | |
| [10:14] <Jucato> eagles0513875: which splash screen? bootsplash or ksplash? | |
| [10:14] <eagles0513875> chalxedony: thanks | |
| [10:14] <eagles0513875> the boot splash the kubuntu one that comes up | |
| [10:15] <Jucato> eagles0513875: remove the "splash" option in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the kernel that you boot into | |
| [10:15] <eagles0513875> i was looking for grub just forgot where it was lol | |
| [10:15] <eagles0513875> ty Jucato | |
| [10:16] <Jucato> you might want to remove "quiet" as well, so that you can see the boot messages | |
| [10:16] <eagles0513875> ya thats what i want | |
| [10:17] <eagles0513875> Jucato: in regards to hardy have u encountered any random short lockups while using hardy | |
| [10:17] <mefisto__> eagles0513875: or you could leave the splash in there and add "verbose" - that will show the spash with feedback about what's happening during boot | |
| [10:17] <dhq> hey guys | |
| [10:18] <Jucato> eagles0513875: I'm not using Hardy... you might want to try asking in #ubuntu+1 | |
| [10:18] <eagles0513875> mefisto__: k thanks | |
| [10:18] <eagles0513875> Jucato: ok | |
| [10:18] <dhq> well can u tell me why kopette doesnt load msn accounts | |
| [10:18] <eagles0513875> for me it does | |
| [10:18] <Jucato> mefisto__: hopefully the boot messages will appear at a correct/proper place :) | |
| [10:18] <chalxedony> eagles0513875 Jucato that's what i just found | |
| [10:19] <eagles0513875> lol | |
| [10:19] <Jucato> mefisto__: last time I removed "quiet" and left "splash", the boot messages sort of "broke" the bootsplash layout... writing all over the plaace | |
| [10:19] <Jucato> (that was back in feisty though...) | |
| [10:19] <mefisto__> Jucato: works nicely for me. the boot msgs are below the kubuntu logo | |
| [10:20] <Jucato> ah good, seems they have fixed it | |

| [11:47] * binarical-app apt-get ed his kubuntu from gnomes ubuntu, his mulitple desktops arent functioning the way they usually do. as such he cant see applications running on alternative desktops | |
| [11:47] <SlimeyPete> and to list process do "ps -aux" in a terminal and then type "kill <process id>"; if it's a graphical application you can just press ctrl-alt-esc and click on the window to kill it | |

| [12:33] <|Cannon|> hey guys ... whats best to use to allow linux and windows to access the same drive ... a windows driver for ext3 or ntfs-3g for linux? | |
| [12:33] <Dr_willis> |Cannon|, err.. both? | |
| [12:34] <|Cannon|> lol | |
| [12:34] <ActionParsnip> lo all | |
| [12:34] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [12:34] <Dr_willis> The issue with the ifs thing for ext2 under windows is that if windows crashes it CAN goofup the linux filesystem | |
| [12:34] <Dr_willis> and it tends to get permissions/ownerships rather 'open' | |
| [12:34] <|Cannon|> :O | |
| [12:35] <Dr_willis> ntfs-3g seems to work very well for me under linux. :) | |
| [12:35] <|Cannon|> well at the mo my downloads drive is fat32 | |
| [12:35] <ActionParsnip> |Cannon|: good call | |
| [12:35] <Dr_willis> each has issues.. depends on your needs. and what you are doing. | |
| [12:35] <|Cannon|> is there any performance loss with fat32 though? | |
| [12:35] <|Cannon|> like slower to read, write, etc? | |
| [12:35] <Dr_willis> it will be slower then ext2/3 - but proberly not noticeable. | |
| [12:36] <|Cannon|> well they are sata's so they should be pretty good | |
| [12:36] <|Cannon|> i was told earlier that you NEVER have to defrag an ext3! :P | |
| [12:36] <ActionParsnip> |Cannon|: correct | |
| [12:36] <|Cannon|> i was amazed! :P | |
| [12:36] <ActionParsnip> well it makes a whole lot of sense | |

| [12:37] <Dr_willis> You can defrag ext2/3 but really you dont need to. | |
| [12:37] <ActionParsnip> the disk access is random as it is a multiple user environment so contiguous files doesnt make sense | |

| [13:46] <blippe> Jucato: sounds nice :D | |
| [13:46] <Jucato> there's a KDE 4 Remix because full KDE 3 and 4 sessions won't fit in a single CD | |
| [13:47] <Jucato> so you're given a choice what to start with. either way, once installed, you can just install the other KDE version | |
| [13:47] <poison> im testing a OEM MP5 gadget, and Kubuntu dont seem to detect it trough USB connection, any ideas? | |
| [13:48] <Dr_willis> mountit manually? Monitor dmesg output as you remove/plug it in... | |
| [13:49] <Hamra> bah, i just read it, the one with KDE 3 will get commercial support from canonical, but only for 18 months, still, better than nothing :P | |
| [13:51] <Dr_willis> Im still vague on who pays for this support, and how to i get my cut! | |
| [13:51] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [13:51] <blippe> i guess i'm gonna stick to ubuntu till next release then... usually i change back and forth between them each release... | |
| [13:51] <Jucato> blippe: are you a customer of Canonical? | |
| [13:51] <Jucato> i.e., do you buy support from them? | |
| [13:52] <Jucato> (for Kubuntu) | |
| [13:52] <blippe> Jucato: hrrm, no, i am just another luser... | |
| [13:52] <blippe> and hey, i wasn'tcomplaining | |
| [13:52] <Jucato> then LTS shouldn't really be an issue :) | |
| [13:52] <andy_> any one here any good with ffmpeg | |
| [13:53] <andy_> my ffmpeg is lacking ac3 support and i can'r figure out how to fix it | |
| [13:53] <Jucato> blippe: I'm just saying that the LTS sticker doesn't really mean anything for non-customers... | |
| [13:53] <blippe> Jucato: actually i was looking forward to a working kde4... | |
| [13:53] <Jucato> well, 4.0.3 is.. um.. it runs :) | |
| [13:53] <blippe> Jucato: er, if i use it on a server with a graphical user interface... | |
| [13:53] <Dr_willis> andy_, its possible the mediabuntu version of ffmpeg (if it exists) has it. | |
| [13:53] <Dr_willis> oops medibuntu | |
| [13:54] <Jucato> blippe: hm? | |
| [13:54] <Jucato> I don't see why that would be a problem | |
| [13:54] <andy_> where do i get that from? | |
| [13:54] <Jucato> !medibuntu | |
| [13:54] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | |
| [13:54] <Jucato> Dr_willis: it's medibuntu :P | |
| [13:54] <blippe> Jucato: i like keeping a session running and connecting to it from my laptop, and that server has not been upgraded since 6.06 | |
| [13:55] <Jucato> you'll have to upgrade anyway just to get kde4 | |
| [13:55] <Jucato> no escaping that part. | |

| [14:13] <karolrvn_> Hello | |
| === karolrvn_ is now known as karolrvn | |
| [14:24] <b4l74z4r> will kubuntu 8.04 have kde 4 by default? | |
| [14:25] <Jucato> b4l74z4r: there will be 2 choices. KDE 3 or KDE 4 by default | |
| [14:25] <b4l74z4r> ok | |
| [14:25] <b4l74z4r> why 2 choices, isn't kde 4 stable enough yet? | |
| [14:26] <Jucato> stable? yes. feature complete? no. KDE 4.0 doesn't even have KDE PIM (KMail, Kontact, Akregator, etc) | |
| [14:27] <b4l74z4r> i see | |
| [14:27] <PhilRod> Jucato: what's the plan for kdepim? in 4.1? | |
| [14:27] <Jucato> so no, it was decided to have 2 "starter's pack" rather than force 1 version at this time | |
| [14:27] <Jucato> PhilRod: hi! yeah it's in trunk already... I heard it won't be using Akonadi by default yet though | |
| [14:27] <Jucato> they have a transition plan for migrating towards akonadi | |
| [14:28] <PhilRod> ah, that's good/a pity | |
| [14:28] <Jucato> :) | |
| [14:28] <Jucato> make up your mind! :P | |
| [14:28] <jussi01> !khardy | b4l74z4r | |
| [14:28] <ubotu> b4l74z4r: Kubuntu Hardy Heron expects to ship with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 as 2 separate disks. KDE 3 should be offered by shipit. The KDE 3 CD will be commercially supported for 18 months and KDE 4 will be community supported | |
| [14:29] <Jucato> jussi01: ooh didn't know that factoid | |
| [14:29] <jussi01> :) | |

| [14:29] <Jucato> pfftt | |
| [14:30] <PhilRod> Jucato: good that it'll be in, a pity that it won't use akonadi | |
| [14:30] <Jucato> jussi01: I can't know *everything* can I? :P | |
| [14:30] <Jucato> PhilRod: I think they're trying to be very careful wrt migration... migrating PIM data, specially email and contacts, isn't a light matter :) | |
| [14:31] <b4l74z4r> i think i will stay with ubuntu, i felt that the kde gui was a bit overwhelming | |
| [14:31] <PhilRod> yes, sounds like they're making the right choice | |
| [14:32] <PhilRod> b4l74z4r: fair enough, although if you just mean the way it looks (too many icons or whatever), that's pretty easily changed | |
| [14:32] <PhilRod> and kde 4 is a lot less cluttered visually | |
| [14:32] <PhilRod> by default, I mean | |
| [14:32] <b4l74z4r> there were so many configuration menus and menus within menus | |
| [14:32] <Jucato> (we don't have a gconf-editor, *hint* :P) | |
| [14:33] <b4l74z4r> i might have a second look at kubuntu with kde 4 when its officially out | |
| [14:33] <b4l74z4r> it was very pleasing to look at | |

| [16:35] <harmental> hydrogen: why is that? | |
| [16:35] <hydrogen> harmental: because I talked ot the wrong person :) | |

| [16:36] <hydrogen> konvi colored like four peoples names in a row the same color :( | |
| [16:36] <ru_> harmental: it's done via hal | |
| [16:37] <harmental> ru_: newbie here... | |
| [16:38] <ru_> harmental: kubuntu already does automount | |
| [16:38] <harmental> ru_: doesnt work here... | |
| [16:38] <ru_> try to reconnect the disk | |
| [16:40] <ru_> sometimes it doesn't work with my firewire ipod, i mount it manually then | |

| [17:17] <makdaknife> harmental: I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for | |
| [17:17] <user1> how to distro upgrade by apt? | |
| [17:18] <makdaknife> user1: apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [17:18] <makdaknife> user1: you may need to edit your sources.list file first | |
| [17:18] <user1> BluesKaj: the xorg edit didnt work. instead it didnt let my xorg boot. | |

| [17:26] * makdaknife wonders why all the people who seem to just be starting out all run off to install beta versions of things | |
| [17:26] <user1> makdaknife: i am not a starter. i just install 7.10 on my new system | |
| [17:28] <makdaknife> user1: obviously very experienced if you need to ask how/why you need to edit your sources.list file to upgrade from gutsy to hardy | |
| [17:28] <Hamra> it's not a matter of starter or expert, it's a matter of personality, and liking to new stuff, there are experts who still prefer old programs! it's just taste i guess :P | |
| [17:28] <user1> makdaknife: yes. because i never did it... | |
| [17:28] <user1> makdaknife: how long have you been using linux? | |
| [17:29] <makdaknife> Hamra: sure thing.... its just that Beta usually means that software is still being tested and is likely to be buggy... if you're a starter... you're going to have trouble working out how to use a buggy system | |

| [17:31] <makdaknife> user1: okay... if you haven't used apt yet, then you're new to any debian based system in my opinion | |
| [17:31] <user1> bipolar: you have to install guest addons | |
| [17:31] <bipolar> user1: hmm... I've done that. :( | |
| [17:31] <user1> makdaknife: i havnt used ALL apt commands. YEET | |

| [17:35] <user1> makdaknife: Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) | |
| [17:36] <jussi01> !tv | user1 | |
| [17:36] <ubotu> user1: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | |
| [17:36] <dthacker-work> chi_: lsof looks for open files. I don't thing you can distinguish reads from writes. Try 'man lsof' and see if theres a way to do that. | |

| [17:52] <Hamra> once hardy is officially released, will there be any special procedure to go from hardy beta to the normal one? or will it be just a like a regualr update? mainly, do i have to download those few hundred megs? | |
| [17:52] <Pici> !final | Hamra ;) | |
| [17:52] <ubotu> Hamra ;): If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Hardy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | |

| [17:56] <Odd-rationale> tb2? | |
| [17:56] <gentix> Thunderbird 2 | |
| [17:56] <Odd-rationale> gentix: for firefox, just do "sudo apt-get install firefox" or use adept | |
| [17:56] <user1> kget's resume support is not good. am i right? any better dl manager for good resume support and for larg downloads? | |
| [17:57] <gentix> yes. i allready know. but if i try so, only firefox and thunderbird 1.5.x are going to be installed | |
| [17:57] <Odd-rationale> gentix: the same with thunderbird: "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" | |
| [17:57] <gentix> i already did apt-get update && upgrade | |
| [17:58] <gentix> any further ideas? :) | |
| [17:58] <user1> Odd-rationale: ? | |
| [17:59] <Odd-rationale> gentix: the thunderbird version in my repo is Version: 2.0.0.12 | |
| [17:59] <gentix> hm | |
| [17:59] <gentix> strange | |
| [17:59] <Odd-rationale> gentix: apt-cache show thunderbird | |

| [18:00] <Odd-rationale> user1: I don't know. I, too have had some trouble with kget resume download... | |
| [18:01] <user1> Odd-rationale: you didnt tried any other? | |
| [18:01] <gentix> Odd-rationale: Firefox 1.5 | |
| [18:01] <Odd-rationale> user1: nope. I have relativly fast internet connection anyways... | |
| [18:02] <user1> k | |
| [18:02] <Odd-rationale> gentix: what version of ubuntu are you using? | |
| [18:02] <gentix> Kubuntu 6.0.6.1 | |
| [18:02] <Odd-rationale> gentix: ah, that's may be why. I'm using 7.10 | |
| [18:03] <gentix> oh no :) | |
| [18:03] <Odd-rationale> gentix: You may be able to upgrade directly to 8.04. not 100% sure though | |
| [18:03] <jussio1> yes, thats correct | |
| [18:03] <Hamra> is it true that openoffice 2.4 won't be in gutsy's repos? | |
| [18:03] <gentix> how to do so? | |
| [18:04] <jussio1> gentix: have a look at mark shuttleworths blog | |
| [18:04] <jussio1> !info openoffice | |
| [18:04] <Odd-rationale> gentix: wait until 8.04 is released first though | |
| [18:04] <ubotu> Package openoffice does not exist in gutsy | |
| [18:04] <jussio1> hrm | |
| [18:04] <Odd-rationale> gentix: release date is arpil 24 | |
| [18:04] <gentix> i ve been using windows for my whole life | |
| [18:04] <Hamra> !info openoffice.org | |

| [18:07] <makdaknife> gentix: that's a miracle in itself... | |
| [18:07] <gentix> thank you :) | |
| [18:08] <gentix> is there any emulator, that can help me to get some only windows programs work? | |
| [18:08] <gentix> except wine | |
| [18:08] <Odd-rationale> gentix: really only wine | |
| [18:08] <algyz> gentix: you where wrong :) | |

| [18:09] <lufthanza> how do I use apt to tell me what the largest packages currently installed on my system are? | |
| [18:09] <makdaknife> gentix: its not too pricey either | |
| [18:10] <alucardromero> I'm trying to delete a user, but somebody says he's logged in. | |
| [18:10] <alucardromero> I see no processes for said user though. :( | |
| [18:10] <gentix> what about virtualbox? | |
| [18:10] <Odd-rationale> gentix: assuming you have a copy of windows. but hardware acceleration may be a problem | |
| [18:10] <makdaknife> gentix: virtualbox is great, but you need to install a copy of Windows in the virtual environment | |
| [18:11] <makdaknife> Odd-rationale: I must admit, I've had few problems with VirtualBox... but then I'm not a gamer... so maybe its not great for stuff like that | |
| [18:12] <Odd-rationale> makdaknife: i'm no gamer either.. | |
| [18:12] <gentix> thank you so far | |
| [18:12] <Odd-rationale> your welcome, so far | |

| [19:07] <martijn81> are there tools for linux to re-encode HD 1920x1080 wmv movies to x264 mkv 720p? | |
| [19:07] <nazim> hi every body | |
| [19:08] <NickPresta> martijn81, mencoder, ffmpeg, | |
| [19:08] <Cannon> in linux browser how can I force a directory to come first ... "_" doesn't work like it does it windows | |
| [19:08] <martijn81> NickPresta: are there easy to use front ends for that?/ | |
| [19:09] <Cannon> hi nazim | |
| [19:13] <pagan0ne> is 7.04 still supported? | |
| [19:14] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: yes | |
| [19:14] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: each release is supported for 18 months. lts for 3 years | |
| [19:14] <Odd-rationale> desktops that is. | |
| [19:15] <pagan0ne> ok, i got a weird issue, i was making a backup of my /home directory, and when i was done, i accidently deleted /home, so i restored from my back up... full back-up all files etc... now when i go to login it takes my password, the screen goes black then it drops me back to kdm like the password failed, but it didnt fail, and doesnt say it did fail | |
| [19:16] <Cannon> whats an "RPM" package | |
| [19:16] <Cannon> ? | |
| [19:16] <pagan0ne> Cannon a RPM package is a package ment for redhat linux | |
| [19:17] <pagan0ne> it can be installed on kubuntu, although i would not reccomend trying | |
| [19:17] <Cannon> so I need non rpm's for kubuntu then? | |
| [19:17] <Cannon> k | |
| [19:18] <Cannon> woah, there is sooooooooooo much to remember for a new linux user | |
| [19:18] <jhutchins_wk> On the live CD, does the default user have a password (for sudo)? | |
| [19:19] <Odd-rationale> jhutchins_wk: no | |
| [19:19] <jhutchins_wk> so just hit enter, or does it not even prompt? | |
| [19:19] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: can you log in at ctrl+alt+f1? | |
| [19:20] <Odd-rationale> jhutchins_wk: I don't think it asks. | |
| [19:21] <jimmy51vinsky> Q: http://pastebin.cross-lfs.org/5363 - Lines 38 through 47 are me trying to deal with strings. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong there? | |

| [19:24] <_myrtille_> -r | |

| [19:25] <_myrtille_> Odd-rationale:thx :) | |
| [19:27] <JohnLee> hey guys I have created a persistent USB pendrive install of ubuntu and really like it. Has anybody done the same for Kubuntu? | |
| [19:27] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale yes i can ctrl+alt+f1 and log in, all my files etc appear to be there | |
| [19:30] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale, i actually logged in and created a new user, and tried to login kdm as that user, and am having the same issue, im perplexed because i didnt touch any system files... just my /home directory | |
| [19:33] <noodles12> is there a way to restart the sound? | |
| [19:34] <bin4ry> hi together | |
| [19:34] <bin4ry> how can i find out the path of jdk? | |
| [19:36] <Cannon> hey, am installing and configuring apachi and I need to edit a .conf file in Kate but it won't let me save changes ... is there way to overcome this? | |
| [19:36] <bin4ry> Cannon: sudo kate $file | |
| [19:36] <chemist109> Cannon: Are you running kate as root? | |
| [19:36] <Cannon> thanks bin4ry | |
| [19:36] <chemist109> bin4ry: beat me to it! | |
| [19:36] <Cannon> no, it would be easier to run it as root though | |
| [19:37] <pagan0ne> Cannon but less safe | |
| [19:37] <Cannon> heh | |
| [19:37] <Cannon> am the only one using it | |
| [19:37] <pagan0ne> Cannon sudo was implimented so that normal users wouldnt run as root all the time, running as root is a serious security issue | |
| [19:37] <Cannon> yeah | |
| [19:38] <bin4ry> chemist: what does this mean? | |
| [19:38] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale you there? | |
| [19:38] <chemist109> bin4ry: You answered Cannon's question slightly ahead of me. | |
| [19:39] <bin4ry> ok but what does your proverb mean | |
| [19:39] <chemist109> bin4ry: "Beat me to it" means answered first. | |
| [19:39] <Cannon> is this something I need to worry about? | |
| [19:40] <Cannon> cannon@cannon-desktop:/usr/local/apache2/conf$ sudo kate httpd.conf | |

| [19:40] <Cannon> Error: "/tmp/ksocket-cannon" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. | |
| [19:40] <pagan0ne> Cannon i dont think it will be an issue | |
| [19:40] <Cannon> cool | |
| [19:40] <algyz> Cannon: it's ok | |
| [19:40] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: sorry. took a break... | |
| [19:40] <Cannon> cos am really new to apachi and if something wasn't working i prolly wouldn't even notice! :P | |
| [19:41] <algyz> Cannon: btw, kdesu kate ;) | |
| [19:41] <algyz> not sudo | |
| [19:41] <bin4ry> chemist: thx | |
| [19:41] <chemist109> We should have told Cannon to use kdesu | |
| [19:41] <Cannon> lol | |
| [19:41] <Cannon> whats kdesu? | |
| [19:41] <algyz> ;) | |
| [19:41] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale thats ok, ill brb myself, 2 mins | |
| [19:41] <algyz> !kdesu | Cannon | |
| [19:41] <ubotu> Cannon: 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) | |
| [19:42] <Cannon> ta :) | |
| [19:42] <Cannon> i don't understand why sudo can be so dangerous | |
| [19:42] <algyz> !kdesu | Cannon | |
| [19:42] <ubotu> Cannon: 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) | |
| [19:42] <algyz> to know why | |
| [19:43] <Pici> There is no undo on the command line. | |
| [19:43] <algyz> Pici: ctrl+c | |
| [19:43] <algyz> it's useful sometimes | |
| [19:43] <Pici> algyz: Yes, but that only aborts the operation, which may have already had disasterous results. | |
| [19:43] <algyz> It is :) | |
| [19:44] <NickPresta> Cannon, sudo is dangerous because you're executing something with root level permissions. This means you can do anything (delete sensitive files, etc) without any sort of "STOP! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" message. | |
| [19:45] <tashiro> i am unable to run warcraft 3 on gutsy opengl doesent seem to be functioning any ideas? | |
| [19:45] <Cannon> that makes plenty of sense! :P | |
| [19:45] <Cannon> lol, you could dual boot windows tashiro | |
| [19:45] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale im back | |
| [19:46] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: how did you add a new user? | |
| [19:46] <NickPresta> Cannon, and as said already, doing something like 'rm FILE' has no easy undo, which means you have most likely lost that file forever. Combine that with files that make your system run and you have a big problem :) | |
| [19:46] <tashiro> I dont like windows all the antivirus checks, disk cleanups and watevas make me sick | |
| [19:46] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale sudo adduser myname | |
| [19:47] <Cannon> heh | |
| [19:47] <rabindra_> i am in a big trouble somehow some packages got marked for removal without my knowledge and got uninstalled while running adept even adept is not there in kmenu what do i do? | |
| [19:47] <tashiro> which driver is the best for ATI 9200? | |
| [19:48] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: maybe your file permissions got messed up when copying back. | |
| [19:48] <pagan0ne> rabindra_ i think your about fscked.... ive heard its recoverable, but never managed to recover myself | |
| [19:49] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale thats a possibility, what would you reccomend i chmod /home back to | |
| [19:49] <chemist109> rabindra_: alt+F2 and start konsole | |
| [19:49] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: I would run the following commands as root: | |
| [19:49] <pagan0ne> pagan0ne im not exactly new to linux, but im dont remember alot of the intricate stuff | |
| [19:49] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: chmod -R 755 /home/pagan0ne | |
| [19:49] <chemist109> rabindra_: Then try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adept | |
| [19:50] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale im not exactly new to linux, but im dont remember alot of the intricate stuff | |
| [19:50] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale thanx, ill try that | |
| [19:50] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: chown -R pagan0ne:pagan0ne /home/pagan0ne | |
| [19:50] <pagan0ne> well ill have my user try that, the computer is some 500 miles away from me, and i can no longer ssh into it myself as it lost its dialup connection | |
| [19:50] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: chmod 644 /home/pagan0ne/.dmrc | |
| [19:51] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: then reboot: shutdown -r now | |
| [19:51] <rabindra_> chemist109: this is the error i get | |
| [19:51] <rabindra_> rabindra@rabindra-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install adept | |
| [19:51] <rabindra_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | |
| [19:51] <chemist109> rabindra_: do that: sudo dpkg --configure -a | |
| [19:51] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale just those 2? | |
| [19:52] <chemist109> I've had to do that before during a screwed up install. | |
| [19:52] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: those 3 + reboot = 4 | |
| [19:52] <rabindra_> chemist109: what next? | |
| [19:52] <chemist109> rabindra_: I would then do sudo apt-get -f upgrade | |
| === sushil is now known as deagle | |
| [19:52] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale missed the chown | |
| [19:53] <chemist109> oops! I mean sudo apt-get -f install | |
| [19:53] <chemist109> rabindra_: That is supposed to fix broken dependencies. | |
| === deagle is now known as nHawk | |
| [19:54] <rabindra_> chemist109: but adept still doesn't appear | |
| [19:55] <chemist109> rabindra_: Once you're finished with fixing dependencies, do this: sudo apt-get install adept | |
| [19:55] <chemist109> It should show up then. | |
| [19:56] <shtoom> Hi i've lost audio after installing pdfedit on kubuntu | |
| [19:56] <shtoom> I am running 7.10 on my laptop | |
| [19:56] <chemist109> If you still can't find it, you can try sudo apt-get install --reinstall adept | |
| [19:57] <rabindra_> chemist109: and so many other softwares also got lost, perhaps. i am not sure but so many packages were marked for removal and i closed adept in the process. | |
| [19:58] <rabindra_> i am worried if some important dependencies and critical softwares also got removed! | |
| [19:59] <shtoom> when I am trying to remove ghostscript it shows that kde will also be removed why is that ? | |
| [19:59] <Fritzel> is dmesg cleared when you reboot? | |
| [20:01] <fdoving> yes. | |
| [20:01] <SlimeyPete> shtoom: presumably kubuntu-desktop depends on it | |
| [20:01] <chemist109> rabindra_: I don't know what was removed, so I can't say what to do. You could cat /var/log/dpkg.log and see what it says was removed. | |
| [20:01] <SlimeyPete> perhaps kpdf uses it? | |
| [20:01] <shtoom> SlimeyPete: in that case why it should remove whole kde desktop insted of removing just kpdf | |
| [20:02] <SlimeyPete> shtoom: because kubuntu-desktop depends on kpdf (IIRC) | |
| [20:02] <SlimeyPete> to be honest the dependencies in kubuntu are quite odd | |
| [20:02] <chemist109> shtoom: why do you want to remove ghostscript? | |
| [20:02] <SlimeyPete> kubuntu-desktop depends on a tonne of stuff, which can be annoying | |
| [20:03] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale still no luck, any other ideas? | |
| [20:03] <shtoom> chemist109: cause I got a feeling after running update-manager which did some updates related to ghost script i've lost audio | |
| [20:04] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: hmm. did you get any errors running those commands as root? (sudo) | |
| [20:04] <shtoom> SlimeyPete: this is real bad of not being able to remove one bad package | |
| [20:04] <SlimeyPete> shtoom: yes, I know. | |
| [20:04] <SlimeyPete> it has frustrated me before. | |
| [20:05] <shtoom> I run updates every day, so any one recently reported of the losing audio ? | |
| [20:05] <fdoving> SlimeyPete: isn't most of it changed to recommends? - which would mean you could uninstall some of the tonn without removing kubuntu-desktop itself. | |
| [20:05] <chemist109> shtoom: Have you tried running alsamixer and playing with the sliders? That has fixed things in the past for me. | |
| [20:06] <SlimeyPete> fdoving: that may be the case, if it's a recent change | |
| [20:06] <chemist109> shtoom: You could try reinstalling the package if you think that would help (I don't see what ghostscript has to do with audio, though). | |
| [20:06] <SlimeyPete> I haven't had any problems recently | |
| [20:07] <shtoom> chemist109:I've tried running alsamixer every thing running perfect but xmms or for that matter any other multimedia application won't play sound | |
| [20:07] <nHawk> i recently installed kde4.. and it makes my processor to run al full speed.. and so my laptop heated up and my palms burning | |
| [20:08] <chemist109> shtoom: Did you log out and back in? That sometimes works too. | |
| [20:08] <shtoom> all the media applications just hang trying to play audio | |
| [20:08] <shtoom> chemist109:I did a reboot as well | |
| [20:08] <fdoving> nHawk: my guess is that either strigidaemon or nepomuk server is eating your cpu. try alt+2 -> show system activity - see what uses most cpu. | |
| [20:09] <mcgub> shtoom: i lost my audio in a recent upgrade as the kernel version was updated...i had to recompile my drivers | |
| [20:09] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale no, no errors | |
| [20:09] <nHawk> thnx fdoving | |
| [20:09] <nHawk> rite now i m back in kde3.5 | |
| [20:09] <nHawk> :D | |
| [20:09] <shtoom> mcgub:When you lost audio does it still identify your audio hardware ? | |
| [20:10] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: i'm out of ideas, sorry... | |
| [20:10] <mcgub> only through command line...the mixer didn't see it | |
| [20:10] <shtoom> mcgub: I mean does it show make & model in alsamixer and in kmixer ? | |
| [20:10] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale is there a command line ppp utility included in 7.04? | |
| [20:10] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale to where i can ssh back in myself to run commands directly? | |
| [20:10] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale or a way to set it up to recive a dial-in connection? | |
| [20:11] <fdoving> nHawk: you can stop nepomuk service at system settings -> advanced -> service manager -> select nepomuk server, hitthe stop button. you can also disable it by unticking the tickbox infront of it. | |
| [20:11] <mcgub> shtoom: nothing at all | |
| [20:11] <Odd-rationale> pagan0ne: I never used dialup, su dunno that either... | |
| [20:11] <pagan0ne> anyone know if theres a way to dialup via command line in 7.04 without installing any more software? | |
| [20:12] <shtoom> mcgub:but for me every thing shows up properly its just that players are not able to play sound | |
| [20:12] <mcgub> shtoom: but the shiny new drivers made it all good | |
| [20:12] <mcgub> shtoom: it would still point to drivers IMO | |
| [20:12] <shtoom> mcgub:i've checked lsof |grep /dev/dsp nothing shows up so I think its good | |
| [20:13] <rabindra_> chemist109: adept doesn't show all the search results that it showed before. bluefish editor got removed; now search doesn't show any result, i had already fetched updates | |
| [20:13] <pagan0ne> Odd-rationale thanks for your help | |

| [20:25] <nHawk> oh really.. thnx.. | |
| [20:27] <NickPresta> martijn81, sorry I didn't get back to you. I don't know of any GUI frontend to ffmpeg or mencoder off-hand. The command line interface is fairly simple and allows for total control. If you have time, you may want to use that instead. | |
| [20:28] <martijn81> NickPresta: i have no idea how to control that from the command line | |
| [20:28] <_pagan0ne> is there a easy way to tell kubuntu to reconfigure x by itself without having to download any packages? | |
| [20:28] <BluesKaj> martijn81,ffmpeg is quite easy to use and if you google for a tutorial , there's some very informative ones | |
| [20:28] <martijn81> _pagan0ne: sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg | |
| [20:29] <_pagan0ne> thx | |
| [20:29] <_pagan0ne> martijn81 will that also reconfigure kdm? | |
| [20:29] <NickPresta> martijn81, try gtranscode (A GTK frontend to transcode) | |
| [20:29] <martijn81> _pagan0ne: i don' t think so | |
| [20:30] <BluesKaj> NickPresta, i find mencoder isn't particularly kind to the resolution of some video files. | |
| [20:30] <supert0nes> anyone here tried linuxmint? | |
| [20:30] <_pagan0ne> martijn81 how would i reconfigure that? | |
| [20:30] <supert0nes> btw i'm a kubuntu user | |
| [20:31] <NickPresta> BluesKaj, ah. I have only used it on smaller resolution videos. I found a few posts which show users using mencoder for x264 videos but I suppose YMMV definitely. | |

| [20:43] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | |

| [20:45] <CrunchyFerrett> now its asking me YES or NO and I dont even understand the question | |
| [20:45] <CrunchyFerrett> is there a paste bucket or something so someone can look at this? | |
| [20:45] <SlimeyPete> !paste | |
| [20:45] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | |
| [20:46] <jonathan_> lluts - thought that while i was typin the question ... Talk about ask a stupid question, been away from it too long. Ta | |

| [20:54] <chemist109> CrunchyFerrett: If adept crashed during an upgrade to the next release, you can probably just use apt-get to finish the upgrade. | |
| [20:55] <chemist109> It happened to me recently and I used: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install | |
| [20:55] <chemist109> Then I did: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [20:56] <chemist109> CrunchyFerrett: Did it change your repositories to the new release ones? | |
| [20:57] <CrunchyFerrett> ... | |
| [20:57] <CrunchyFerrett> I have no idea | |
| [20:58] <CrunchyFerrett> When I installed, it gave me a window saying "New release avail" | |
| [20:58] <CrunchyFerrett> but after reboot, its not there | |
| [20:59] <chemist109> CrunchyFerrett: You can use the instructions above safely even if you're not upgrading. I would suggest you try them. | |
| [21:00] <CrunchyFerrett> chemist109: Im sorry, but I think I missed any instructions you gave. Would you be kind enough to repeat them? | |

| [22:24] <MachinatorSyver> well, I had kubuntu on my computer before | |
| [22:25] <MachinatorSyver> but I installed a game for linux and it killed my video card. In the process of trying to figure out what was wrong I formatted my computer and thats how I only have windowsxp now | |
| [22:25] <MachinatorSyver> I have a new card but my live cd when boon in graphics safe mode gives a bunch of IO errors | |
| [22:26] <MachinatorSyver> and doesnt start up | |

| [22:26] <Daisuke_Ido> a game *killed* your graphics card? i find that real tough to buy | |
| [22:26] <MachinatorSyver> well the problem didnt start until after the game crashed | |
| [22:26] <Daisuke_Ido> were you running the game from a livecd? | |
| [22:27] <MachinatorSyver> and then the problem wasn't fixed even after a format until I put in a new card | |

| [22:28] <MachinatorSyver> yes | |
| [22:28] <MachinatorSyver> in graphics safe mode | |
| [22:29] <Daisuke_Ido> apparently it had quite a few problems not even related to graphics... | |
| [22:29] <MachinatorSyver> I used that CD before to install kubuntu before I formatted my computer | |
| [22:29] <MachinatorSyver> that makes me sad | |
| [22:30] <Daisuke_Ido> you can burn a new cd | |
| [22:30] <Daisuke_Ido> you aren't limited to just one :) | |

| [22:32] <MachinatorSyver> so you think if I burn another CD i'll have better luck? | |
| [22:33] <Daisuke_Ido> i think it's possible | |
| [22:33] <Daisuke_Ido> is that shot from after replacing the video card? | |
| [22:33] <MachinatorSyver> yes, before I would get a totally different screen from the boot disk | |
| [22:33] <MachinatorSyver> that I had no idea how to navigate | |
| [22:34] <Daisuke_Ido> define totally different? | |
| [22:34] <MachinatorSyver> well you know how theres like 5 or so options 2 being normal boot and graphics safe boot? | |
| [22:35] <MachinatorSyver> the other screen had probably over 20 options none of which were graphics safe boot | |

| [23:21] <jussio1> oh, bleh | |
| [23:21] <damien__> What? | |
| [23:22] <damien__> Did I do something wrong? >_> | |
| [23:22] <Cannon> so if my router is showing that it's open and iptables what else can it be? | |
| [23:23] <Ralesk> Cannon: are you forwarding those ports to your computer's IP address, or just "having them open", whatever that means? | |
| [23:24] <damien__> jussio1: Did I mess something up? | |
| [23:24] <jussio1> damien__: wait a moment please | |
| [23:24] <Cannon> to Mikey-PC ... but i dunno if that is an old windows name or router | |
| [23:24] <damien__> jussio1: Okay | |
| [23:24] <Illusion> hello | |
| [23:24] <Cannon> @ Ralesk | |
| [23:25] <Ralesk> hmm, I'd guess it's better to call the computer by its IP address :) | |
| [23:25] <Illusion> I was installing Kubuntu desktop live CD. its boots pefect from cd. There's an option available to copy the distro to a hdd or usb stick, anybody aware of it generates an error and warnings while booting from HDD? Afterwards it stops | |
| [23:26] <jonathan_> help - fn+up/down hotkeys doesn't work in gutsy? (laptop brightness) | |
| [23:27] <Cannon> i'll have a see | |
| [23:29] <jussio1> damien__: please try replacing your sources with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62892/ | |
| [23:29] <Cannon> Ralesk: does this mean anything to you "Can't find the server IP address: Valid name but the host has no IP address" | |
| [23:29] <jussio1> damien__: before you do, you havent installed kde4 have you? | |
| [23:29] <damien__> I have no clue if I did or not | |
| [23:29] <damien__> I think I tried | |
| [23:29] <Cannon> i'm managing the dns with no-ip and I know for a fact that its directly to my ip Ralesk | |
| [23:29] <jussio1> damien__: I dont think you did. ;) | |
| [23:30] <Illusion> anybody? | |
| [23:30] <jussio1> Illusion: gutsy or hardy? | |
| [23:30] <Illusion> gutsy | |
| [23:30] <damien__> jussio1: should I? | |
| [23:30] <jussio1> damien__: no | |
| [23:30] <Illusion> various errors like: | |
| [23:31] <Ralesk> hardly o.O if it's supposed to be connected and reachable... it really should have an address | |
| [23:31] <damien__> jussio1: I get another error when trying to replace my sources, saying it was not possible to write to that location. | |
| [23:31] <Ralesk> I'm confused by your network, Cannon :) | |
| [23:31] <jussio1> damien__: you need to use: kdsudo kate | |
| [23:31] <Cannon> Ralesk: this is my router http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/Speedtouch780v6/Speedtouch780v6index.htm | |
| [23:31] <Illusion> anacron, cron, crond, atd, /share/acpi, /etc/acpi | |
| [23:32] <damien__> jussio1: what do you mean I need to use kdsudo kate? | |
| [23:32] <damien__> jussio1: I have the sources open in kate | |
| [23:33] <sourcemaker> I have configured virtualbox for host only... but I receive the error message: | |
| [23:33] <sourcemaker> Warning - failed to create the interface vbox0 for the user vboxusers | |
| [23:33] <jussio1> damien__: in konsole, type: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [23:33] <jussio1> sourcemaker: go look on virtual box's site, thats in their faq's | |
| [23:34] <Cannon> [23:31:02] Contacting IRC server 87.194.247.182 (87.194.247.182) on port 6667 | |
| [23:34] <Cannon> [23:32:02] [SOCKET ERROR]: Connection timed out @ ralesk | |
| [23:34] <damien__> jussio1: Okay, now what do I do? | |
| [23:34] <jussio1> damien__: replace the sources... | |
| [23:34] <Cannon> this is really getting me aggitated | |
| [23:34] <damien__> jussio1: I know :P I meant after that | |
| [23:35] <Ralesk> Cannon: all I know is that you're probably reaching the router, but it can't forward the packets to the computer for whatever reason | |
| [23:35] <Ralesk> it's totally weird that said computer doesn't have an IP address | |
| [23:35] <Cannon> lol, yeah | |
| [23:36] <jussio1> damien__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [23:36] <Cannon> interesting development ... it's no longer "refused" ... just timing out now | |
| [23:36] <Cannon> so surely that means the ports are open? | |
| [23:37] <Ralesk> yeah, I guess so | |
| [23:37] <Cannon> so what next? lol | |
| [23:38] <Illusion> jussi01, what do you think about these errors? Ive installed it with oem setup | |
| [23:38] <damien__> jussio1: It keeps asking me to insert my kubuntu CD, and I have it inserted | |
| [23:38] <Ralesk> well, I don't know about your LAN, but that computer you're trying to forward to, look into it why it doesn't have at least a LAN IP address (say, 192.168.x.y) | |
| [23:39] <Illusion> *and i haven't updated it yet, with apt-get | |
| [23:39] <Cannon> it does | |
| [23:39] <Cannon> i just can't remember it! lol | |
| [23:39] <Cannon> am used to windows so I have no idea how to look it up on linux | |
| [23:40] <Cannon> i do recall it starting with 192 though | |
| [23:40] <Ralesk> ifconfig :) | |
| [23:40] <jussio1> Illusion: which errors? | |
| [23:40] <Cannon> ta | |
| [23:40] <Cannon> i'll have a lookie | |
| [23:40] <damien__> jussio1: It's still asking me to insert the CD and press enter, which I have done but it still asks | |
| [23:40] <Cannon> why not ipconfig? lol | |
| [23:41] <jussio1> damien__: please use that kdesudo command again and remove the line about the cd. | |
| [23:41] <jussio1> damien__: to stop the update press ctrl+c | |
| [23:41] <damien__> jussio1: what was the kdesudo command? O_o | |
| [23:42] <Cannon> could it be 127.0.0.1 Ralesk? | |
| [23:42] <Illusion> jussi01 im reinstalling it atm with normal setup | |
| [23:42] <Ralesk> Cannon: 127.0.0.1 is localhost, so no | |
| [23:42] <jussio1> damien__: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [23:42] <Cannon> lol | |
| [23:42] <Cannon> <<< noob :P | |
| [23:42] <Cannon> how about this one :P 192.168.1.66 | |
| [23:42] <jussio1> damien__: and Illusion, I need to run. im sorry. :/ | |
| [23:43] <Ralesk> Cannon: ifconfig because it's "interface" -- it could be setup to a non-IP network for all we care :) | |
| [23:43] <Illusion> np it's ok | |
| [23:43] <Ralesk> that looks good, Cannon | |
| [23:43] <damien__> Uh | |
| [23:43] <damien__> I need more help :X | |
| [23:44] <VousDeux> !hardy status | |
| [23:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy status - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |
| [23:44] <jussio1> damien__: just remve that line, then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [23:44] <jussio1> damien__: then try installing again | |
| [23:44] <jussio1> VousDeux: go look at the topic in #ubuntu+1 | |
| [23:44] <jussio1> now im really going | |
| [23:44] <VousDeux> jussi01: thanks | |
| [23:45] <Illusion> cya jussi01 | |
| [23:45] <Cannon> hey Ralesk ... i typed that lan address and it changed it to Mikey-PC so am assuming thats the one | |

| [23:46] <Ralesk> ah, "intelligent" UI on the router, I see :P | |
| [23:46] <Cannon> lol | |
| [23:46] <Cannon> if I put the contents of my iptables in pastebin would that be a silly idea? | |
| [23:48] <Ralesk> doubtful :) give it a spin | |
| [23:48] <damien__> How do I run apt-setup in konsole? | |
| [23:48] <Cannon> ZOMG! | |
| [23:48] <Cannon> some updates have disappeared! lol | |
| [23:49] <Cannon> have a lookie pls Ralesk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62895/ | |
| [23:49] <damien__> nickpresta: how do I run apt-setup in konsole? | |
| [23:49] <Cannon> i know I added the ports earlier | |
| [23:49] <Cannon> must have lost em on reboot | |
| [23:49] <rickest> damien__: there is no apt-setup, you mean aptitude? | |
| [23:50] <damien__> rickest: No, when I try to run add or remove programs, it tells me that theres an error and to run apt setup in terminal | |
| [23:50] <Ralesk> Cannon: yes, the IRC range seems to be missing altogether | |
| [23:50] <Cannon> lol | |
| [23:50] <Ralesk> I think there's an iptables-save and an iptables-restore command that can... you guess it what they do :P | |
| [23:50] <damien__> rickest: An incorrect APT configuration seems to be the problem | |
| [23:50] <Cannon> you couldn't give me the exact code to add both tcp and udp could you please Ralesk ... i don't wanna make any mistakes | |
| [23:51] <rickest> damien__: no idea what it means, sorry. 'sudo aptitude' might tell you but you should probably ask someone who knows | |
| [23:51] <Ralesk> it's been quite a long time since I've last used iptables and I'm quite rusty, sorry | |
| [23:52] <Ralesk> though to be honest, behind NAT, unless you forward everything to the computer, there's little use of iptables or another packet filter in the first place... | |
| [23:52] <damien__> I think I fixed it | |
| [23:53] <Cannon> so there is an alternative to iptables ... a GUI would be nice | |
| [23:53] <Cannon> ! :P | |
| [23:53] <acme64> howdy | |
| [23:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about p - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |
| [23:53] <Cannon> lol | |
| [23:54] <kbmaniac> opps - didnot mean to do that | |
| [23:54] <acme64> how do i upfgrade to 8.04 | |
| [23:55] <acme64> from here | |
| [23:56] <monkeybritches_> You might want to wait a couple more weeks | |
| [23:57] <Cannon> it's due out on the 24th i think | |
| [23:58] <acme64> naa ill upgrade now | |
| [23:58] <acme64> figured it out on the site | |
| [23:58] <Cannon> :P | |
| [23:58] <damien__> What exactly does "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" do? | |
| [23:58] <sourcemaker> virtualbox crashed my windows 2003 server installation.... | |
| [23:58] <Cannon> the first one makes sure your respositories are upto date damien__ | |
| [23:59] <Cannon> maybe repositories isn't the right word | |
| [23:59] <VousDeux> man, I haven't done any updates or anything for so long I guess I'm skiddish...evidentally my adept has been broken since October, so I'm way behind | |
| [23:59] <Cannon> like checking for upgrades | |
| [23:59] <damien__> Ah | |
| [23:59] <damien__> ok | |
| [23:59] <Cannon> i prefer synaptic to adept | |
| [23:59] <damien__> Well it takes a long time to update :| | |
| [23:59] <Cannon> and October is ages ago! lol | |
