| [01:57] <ttuuxxx> Hi I'm building KDE on a none kde distro, And well its working well But I'm Having a couple of small issues the first 2 are.Any Ideas how to fix "CData" and "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" and this is what it looks like http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9425/bibletimecdatanl4.png | |
| [01:59] <ttuuxxx> On ya I'm using Ubuntu intrepid packages to get kde working | |
| [01:59] <NickPresta> ttuuxxx, that CDATA bit is from an XML or XHTML document. It is used to wrap CSS/JavaScript. | |
| [02:00] <NickPresta> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA | |
| [02:00] <Daisuke_Laptop> ttuuxxx: you're using intrepid packages to build kde on a distro that isn't ubuntu? | |
| [02:03] <ttuuxxx> yes Daisuke and its working excellent, the kde base is 40mb compressed and things like k3b i have working perfectly and its a 7mb compressed, bibletime is 8mb compressed etc, they both work really well. | |
| [02:04] <ttuuxxx> Its taken me around 2weeks to get the bugs/build out | |
| [02:04] <ttuuxxx> around 90+hrs | |
| [02:05] <NickPresta> ttuuxxx, you could have installed any other generic distro, installed their KDE packages (or builds) and saved yourself some time | |
| [02:05] <ttuuxxx> I have kde running on puppy linux wich is gtk2 + Qt4 strictly, Basically I could have a the default puppy applications , plus k3b and bible time on a 150MB cd, which I can run live or install | |

| [02:32] <pucko-> so, realplayer installer just wants to write to /opt | |
| [02:33] <pucko-> if you install it as root (or sudo) you don't need to change anything | |
| [02:33] <NegroAgy> then i push F | |
| [02:33] <NegroAgy> ok? | |
| [02:33] <pucko-> but as user, you should set a group or something. | |
| [02:33] <pucko-> let it be as it was before you asked me :) | |

I have read on the forums that this is a widespread problem that started ocuring recently but haven't been able to find an answer. I get "Permissions denied" when I try and automount.

| [02:46] <ubottu> ivan_: It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | |

| [02:48] <ivan_> oh this is a basic question, how do i start an application as super user?? | |

| [02:48] <Jucato> !kdesu | ivan_ | |
| [02:48] <ubottu> ivan_: 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) | |

| [02:55] <solo> Keeping the cache means that if something needs the same data again, there's a good chance it will still be in the cache in memory. Fetching the information from there is around 1,000 times quicker than getting it from the hard disk. | |
| [02:55] <solo> there is my answer and why Linux is so damn fast! :) I likie | |
| [02:56] <darkdelusions> it has hella better memory managment? :) | |

| [03:05] <Jucato> jimmy51_home: it means that you had a kernel update | |
| [03:05] <solo> go figure | |
| [03:06] <jimmy51_home> i see | |
| [03:06] <Jucato> that's about the only time you will need to reboot. but even then it's optional until you actually want to use the new kernel | |
| [03:06] <jimmy51_home> jucato, how does that work? i mean, updating stuff that's currently running? i've updated apps right underneath themselves quite a bit. | |
| [03:06] <solo> i just found a computer on the side of the road today that had a HP burner and 30gig HD in it... and it all works | |
| [03:07] <solo> :D | |
| [03:07] <solo> ... and 64md stick | |
| [03:07] <Jucato> jimmy51_home: no problem with that usually. and in the case of a kernel upgrade, it actually doesn't upgrade an already running kernel. it installs a new copy of the latest kernel | |
| [03:07] <Jucato> (so basically a "kernel upgrade" is actually installing a new, separate kernel) | |
| [03:07] <jimmy51_home> does it retain the old, but just change the default grub entry? | |
| [03:08] <Jucato> yep yep | |
| [03:08] <jimmy51_home> how would... say, a firefox update work? | |
| [03:08] <Jucato> it always retains the old kernels and adds the new one to grub | |
| [03:08] <jimmy51_home> i've updated firefox through adept, while browsing with firefox | |
| [03:08] <pucko-> jucato, not really | |
| [03:09] <Jucato> pucko-: which one? ;) | |
| [03:09] * Jucato said a lot of things | |
| [03:09] <jimmy51_home> oh! i always tell it to keep the current menu.lst. i suppose i'm missing out on the newest kernel then | |
| [03:12] <solo> is this the only channel on this server?? | |
| [03:12] <jimmy51_home> solo, nope | |
| [03:12] <solo> i dont get anythig on channel list with Konversation | |

| [03:15] <Ekushey> solo, what do you mean by list? | |

| [03:15] <solo> yes | |
| [03:16] <Jucato> solo: you can type /list but be warned, you might get disconnected | |
| [03:17] <solo> tried that... server load too high | |
| [03:17] <Ekushey> solo, then you need to wait... it's a freenode issue | |

| [04:31] <usamahashimi> Hello Everyone | |
| [04:32] <flaccid> hi | |
| [04:32] <usamahashimi> I have mistakenly delete the file /etc/apt/sources.list, from which website i can find the repos for ubuntu 8.04? | |
| [04:33] <flaccid> usamahashimi: should just be able to re-enable them in adept manager in manage repositories | |
| [04:34] <usamahashimi> flaccid: adept is adding only two repos and from my previous hardy experience i remember that there were 5 or 6 repos | |
| [04:34] <flaccid> adept can add a lot more than 2 by default, which do you need | |
| [04:35] <usamahashimi> flaccid: lemme try again and i will tell you the result | |
| [04:35] <flaccid> ok | |
| [04:36] <usamahashimi> flaccid: yes, thanks :) | |
| [04:36] <flaccid> np | |
| [04:36] <usamahashimi> flaccid: should i also add the "Unsupported Updates"? | |
| [04:37] <flaccid> up to you, there usually isnt a need unless you find one | |
| [04:37] <usamahashimi> flaccid: is there any harm in adding it? | |
| [04:38] <flaccid> not usually, i enable it and then if i find a bug i look into it | |
| [04:38] <usamahashimi> flaccid: ok, thanks a lot | |

| [05:03] <codster> Hey i was wondering if anyone use's themes with Beryl and if so where do they get theme? | |
| [05:05] <doorknob60> beryl...you mean emerald? | |
| [05:05] <codster> well | |
| [05:05] <codster> im not sure | |
| [05:05] <codster> i have emerald and Beryl | |
| [05:05] <codster> im not sure how to get or apply themes? | |
| [05:05] <doorknob60> what kubuntu version you got? beryl is outdated, its called compiz fusion now | |
| [05:06] <codster> ohh | |
| [05:06] <codster> i have 7.04 | |
| [05:06] <codster> :( | |
| [05:06] <doorknob60> id upgrade if i were you | |
| [05:06] <codster> i know | |
| [05:06] <doorknob60> but you dont need to | |
| [05:06] <codster> but im learning so there is no rush | |
| [05:07] <doorknob60> if your talking about emerald themes (the title bar themes), then theres should be an emerald theme manager somewhere | |
| [05:07] <codster> Well Compiz Fusion do i get that in the repos in my Version of Kubuntu? | |
| [05:07] <doorknob60> i havent used beryl, just compiz so idk if your not talking about emerald themes | |
| [05:07] <doorknob60> i dont think compiz fusion is in 7.04 | |
| [05:08] <flaccid> is that feisty? | |
| [05:08] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:08] <flaccid> !info compiz-fusion feisty | |
| [05:08] <ubottu> 'feisty' is not a valid distribution | |
| [05:08] <flaccid> !info compiz-fusion fiesty | |
| [05:08] <ubottu> 'fiesty' is not a valid distribution | |
| [05:08] <doorknob60> in october, feisty is unsupported and the repositories for it will go bye bye, so id upgrade soon | |
| [05:08] <codster> not sure i think it is, | |
| [05:09] <codster> :( | |
| [05:09] <codster> really | |
| [05:09] <doorknob60> yeah 7.04=feisty | |
| [05:09] <codster> can i upgrade without a CD? | |
| [05:09] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:09] <codster> from using this present.. | |
| [05:09] <doorknob60> 1 sec ill get a guide | |
| [05:09] <codster> okay | |
| [05:09] <codster> thanks | |
| [05:09] <EightiesK> lol i have a 5.04 cd... | |
| [05:09] <codster> lol im a little far behind. i dont want KDE 4.0 thou' | |
| [05:09] <codster> i have a6.06 :( | |
| [05:09] <codster> LTS :D | |
| [05:09] <flaccid> compiz is in feisty but not compiz-fusion it seems | |
| [05:09] <codster> well is 8.04 come with KDE4.0 by default? | |
| [05:10] <codster> or whichever the version is now. | |
| [05:10] <doorknob60> 8.04 default comes with 3.5.9 | |
| [05:10] <doorknob60> 4.0 is too buggy rigth now | |
| [05:11] <codster> okay good | |
| [05:11] <codster> thats what i like to hear lol, i heard its buggy too. | |
| [05:11] <doorknob60> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu | |
| [05:11] <codster> thanks :D | |
| [05:11] <doorknob60> thats for 7.10 to 8.04 but ti should apply from 7.04 to 7.10 also | |
| [05:11] <codster> okay | |
| [05:11] <doorknob60> then wen your on 7.10 you can upgrade again to 8.04 | |
| [05:11] <codster> lol wish me luck if not ill get a CD later | |
| [05:11] <flaccid> well technically you can upgrade from whatever. i've done dapper to hardy a few times | |
| [05:11] <doorknob60> ok | |
| [05:11] <codster> uhh lol | |
| [05:12] <doorknob60> well dapper is lts so they let you go to hardy | |
| [05:12] <doorknob60> on feisty and edgy you gotta go one at a tim | |
| [05:12] <flaccid> kind of. they say here they don't support such an upgrade.. | |
| [05:12] <codster> so this only says 7.10 to 8.04? | |
| [05:12] <codster> the guide? | |
| [05:13] <flaccid> doorknob60: you don't. i've done an upgrade to hardy from all of them straight up | |
| [05:13] <doorknob60> yeah, but it applys for 7.04 to 7.10 | |
| [05:13] <codster> okay | |
| [05:13] <flaccid> smoothness of upgrades always varies | |
| [05:13] <codster> thanks i thought you ment "Upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 then from 7.10 to 8.04" shesh i dont have that much time lol, | |
| [05:13] <doorknob60> thats the supported way | |
| [05:14] <doorknob60> i think 7.04 to 8.04 might require manual editing of sources.list | |
| [05:14] <flaccid> in theory you may run into less problems doing it that way | |
| [05:14] <codster> uhh | |
| [05:14] <codster> great | |
| [05:14] <codster> i think ill just order a CD | |
| [05:14] <codster> lol | |
| [05:14] <doorknob60> no need | |
| [05:14] <codster> will save me the hassle, i hate the editing list's and texts and things | |
| [05:14] <codster> but i need to learn | |
| [05:14] <doorknob60> its easy | |
| [05:14] <codster> well i dont want to upgrade if its going to cause problems | |
| [05:15] <doorknob60> press alt f2 and type this: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [05:15] <codster> ohh | |
| [05:15] <doorknob60> then change everywhere it says 'feisty' to 'hardy' | |
| [05:15] <codster> thats it? | |
| [05:15] <codster> 0.0 lol i thought it would be much harder | |
| [05:15] <doorknob60> then run sudo apt-get update | |
| [05:15] <flaccid> then you gotta perform the upgrade :) | |
| [05:15] <doorknob60> then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [05:15] <codster> well i'll try the upgrade, if all else fails i dont mind reinstalling. | |
| [05:15] <doorknob60> that should do it | |
| [05:15] <codster> shesh | |
| [05:15] <codster> lol | |
| [05:16] <codster> and i will go to 8.04? | |
| [05:16] <doorknob60> i upgraded my debian from etch to lenny succesfully using the same mehtod today | |
| [05:16] <codster> let me right that down | |
| [05:16] <doorknob60> yeah thats striiahgt to 8.04 :) | |
| [05:18] <codster> Could they make Linux as easy as windows, and if they did. Would it contain Virus's like windows? Because somethings i could see being as an improvement for me (noob) user lol | |
| [05:18] <codster> i just wanted to know althou i am a little offtopic :( | |
| [05:18] <flaccid> they are working towards it, but a lot the problems are with vendors | |
| [05:19] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:19] <doorknob60> clean install of windows is harder than clean (k)ubuntu install | |
| [05:19] <codster> yeah, i totally understand things like that, its just when i come to Kubuntu its a little harder, But yet its easier to deal with. | |
| [05:19] <codster> yeah thats for sure | |
| [05:19] <doorknob60> but ubuntu seems harder because you gotta set it up yourself when windows typically is preinstalled and working | |
| [05:19] <flaccid> you said it! | |
| [05:19] <codster> yeah thats what i mean | |
| [05:19] <flaccid> doorknob60: not when you have to install drivers after | |
| [05:20] <codster> and this editing things? i took one look and in my head "ahhh" lol, i dont wanna mess around with things. | |
| [05:20] <flaccid> you gotta install office, ant-virus and all that | |
| [05:20] <doorknob60> well when you buy a new computer with windows it includes the needed drivers | |
| [05:20] <codster> yeah which bog's down your system and it goes downhill from that | |
| [05:20] <doorknob60> yeah i know | |
| [05:20] <flaccid> who needs to buy a new computer ? | |
| [05:20] <codster> :D | |
| [05:20] <flaccid> you don't have to edit things much at all in hardy+ | |
| [05:20] <doorknob60> i always build them | |
| [05:20] <codster> well im going to install 8.04 thanks for the help | |
| [05:20] <codster> okay thanks | |
| [05:21] <codster> bye | |
| [05:21] <flaccid> ciao | |
| [05:21] <doorknob60> alot cheaper than buying your own comp | |
| [05:21] <comodo> i have checked all of my errors on google but no results | |
| [05:21] <flaccid> windows + msoffice + av = a lot of money | |
| [05:21] <doorknob60> i got a decent cpu and mobo for under $150 | |
| [05:21] <comodo> i can't figure tis out | |
| [05:21] <[zEr0-x]> is a very very small pic, don't u have a big one ? | |
| [05:22] <flaccid> comodo: how did you go doing the fix? | |
| [05:22] <comodo> i just googled the errors | |
| [05:22] <comodo> i cannot find anything on them | |
| [05:22] <flaccid> [13:46] <genii> The fix for deluge-torrent suggested at http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4875 is: sudo apt-get install dbus-x11 | |
| [05:23] <comodo> nice i'll try that thanks | |
| [05:23] <flaccid> coolio | |
| [05:23] <doorknob60> who here has an ati card? how well does it work? | |
| [05:23] <flaccid> its alright, im on one atm | |
| [05:24] <codster> when i typed thoes commands in it did not do anything in upgrading | |
| [05:24] <doorknob60> my new mobo apperantly doesnt support nvidia 8 series cards for some reason so i might have to buy ati | |
| [05:24] <flaccid> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] | |
| [05:24] <comodo> wow now it opens thanks flaccid i appricate it | |

| [05:24] <flaccid> doorknob60: nvidia 9600gt is better choice | |
| [05:24] <doorknob60> it might have problems with 9 sersies too though, not sure yet | |
| [05:25] <flaccid> codster: pastebin both your /etc/apt/sources.list and output of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [05:25] <doorknob60> 3 out of 3 newegg reviews say 8 series doesnt work, i bought mobo before any of those reviews | |
| [05:25] <doorknob60> noone of them say anything about 9 series | |
| [05:25] <codster> shoot | |
| [05:25] <codster> one second | |
| [05:25] <flaccid> doorknob60: weird | |
| [05:25] <doorknob60> it has integrated ati :P | |
| [05:25] <doorknob60> probly related to that | |
| [05:25] <flaccid> still latest nvidia drivers have issues that slow em down by heaps atm | |
| [05:26] <flaccid> the restricted one | |
| [05:26] <doorknob60> im using latest nvidia drivers on my nvidia 5200 no probolems | |
| [05:26] <flaccid> yeah, but depending on what version you may not be getting full fps | |
| [05:26] <doorknob60> glxgears shows the same as ive gotten since 7.04 | |
| [05:26] <flaccid> thats good | |
| [05:27] <doorknob60> i know glxgears isnt benchmark but idc | |
| [05:27] <doorknob60> no problems here, im on debian lenny though | |
| [05:27] <flaccid> i can't remember what exactly it affects. kde4 devs found it by accident in testing | |
| [05:27] <doorknob60> hmm, maybe its a kde4 bug or something? | |
| [05:27] <flaccid> nah they worked it out to be the driver, but can't remember what exactly | |
| [05:28] <doorknob60> ah ok | |
| [05:28] <doorknob60> doesnt affect me so thats fine :) | |
| [05:28] <flaccid> yeah | |
| [05:28] <doorknob60> so do you have any weird problems with the ati driver? | |
| [05:28] <flaccid> i think it affects me. aint getting the high fps i should | |
| [05:28] <snake> has anyone resolved the dolphin problem with html files ? | |
| [05:28] <flaccid> ati is a pita, but its ok. its always the complaints about setting up dual display etc | |
| [05:29] <doorknob60> i like dual monitors....hmm... | |
| [05:29] <codster> flaccid, its right here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/20768/ | |
| [05:29] <doorknob60> does tv out work? | |
| [05:29] <flaccid> um i havnt really tried but i couldn't get the s-video to go in the past on restricted.. | |
| [05:30] <doorknob60> meh | |
| [05:30] <doorknob60> thats what i need, svideo out and dual screens | |
| [05:30] <doorknob60> works perfect on geforce 5200 | |
| [05:30] <flaccid> restricted drivers need to support the other ports in randr.. | |

| [05:30] <flaccid> using nvidia driver? | |
| === logico is now known as logico__h | |
| [05:30] <doorknob60> yeah, installed manually off nvidia site a few days ago | |
| [05:31] <doorknob60> debian doesnt need no bloated restricted manager :P | |
| [05:31] <flaccid> codster: doesn't look like you did the text replace of 'feisty' to 'hardy' in sources.list | |
| [05:31] <codster> ohh shoot | |
| [05:31] <codster> lol | |
| [05:31] <codster> okay one second lol | |
| [05:31] <codster> my mistake | |
| [05:31] <flaccid> doorknob60: how you set up the dual, the nvidia config binaries? | |
| [05:32] <doorknob60> yeah, kdesu nvidia-settings | |
| [05:32] <codster> what was the command? i think i might of added an extra space | |
| [05:32] <doorknob60> kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [05:32] <codster> okay thanks' | |
| [05:32] <codster> there was an "s" | |
| [05:32] <flaccid> cool | |
| [05:32] <doorknob60> ah ok | |
| [05:32] <codster> Could not run the specified command | |
| [05:33] <doorknob60> ? | |
| [05:33] <flaccid> maybe feisty only had kdesu which is symlink to kdesudo ? | |
| [05:33] <codster> thats what it is giving me | |
| [05:33] <flaccid> codster: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [05:33] <doorknob60> maybe, kdesu and kdesudo both work for me | |
| [05:33] <codster> lol | |
| [05:33] <codster> your right :D | |
| [05:33] <doorknob60> in debian theyre different :O | |
| [05:33] <flaccid> should of been kdesudo all along | |
| [05:34] <codster> okay im in a Text editor (kate) | |
| [05:34] <doorknob60> in debian kdesu needs root password kdesudo needs user password | |
| [05:34] <codster> Every Fiesty Word i replace with Hardy? | |
| [05:34] <flaccid> codster: do the replace, exit and save | |
| [05:34] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:34] <doorknob60> no capital | |
| [05:34] <codster> okay | |
| [05:34] <codster> lol thats alot! | |
| [05:34] <flaccid> doorknob60: has it been like that all along? | |
| [05:35] <doorknob60> flaccid: i think so, debian by defaut uses root instead of sudo, so kdesu is for su (root), kdesudo is for sudo (like in ubuntu) | |
| [05:35] <flaccid> doorknob60: i'll give the dual a shot on this 9600 soon, but i need hdmi heh | |
| [05:35] <doorknob60> im not worried about dual or tv out on 9600 | |
| [05:35] <flaccid> yeah i use debian, but only as server | |
| [05:35] <flaccid> yes but lots of people would be ? we have to use beta drivers atm | |
| [05:36] <doorknob60> im worried if it would support my mobo because the ati integrated card seems to "block" 8 series cards from working | |
| [05:36] <doorknob60> i heard 7800's work fine | |
| [05:36] <flaccid> hmmm one can only try | |
| [05:36] <flaccid> yeah they are good | |
| [05:36] <codster> Now its done | |
| [05:36] <codster> how do i save? | |
| [05:36] <codster> just save? | |
| [05:36] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:36] <flaccid> just close and say yes | |
| [05:36] <codster> okay | |
| [05:36] <codster> that was alot of hardy words lol | |
| [05:36] <codster> now i will do the commands | |
| [05:37] <codster> there we go | |
| [05:37] <codster> getting hardy updates :D | |
| [05:37] <doorknob60> good | |
| [05:37] <codster> thanks man | |
| [05:37] <codster> this is awesome and easy lol | |
| [05:38] <flaccid> codster: cool, just run a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after to make sure you got it all. it could take some time however.. | |
| [05:38] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:38] <codster> yeah i know :( its 12;38pm and their is a exam tommarrow lol | |
| [05:38] <doorknob60> dist-upgrade does everything upgrade does and more, no need for both | |
| [05:38] <codster> shoot | |
| [05:38] <codster> how can i stop it now? | |
| [05:38] <doorknob60> why? | |
| [05:38] <codster> its done anyways | |
| [05:39] <flaccid> i thought dist-upgrade did kernel. it does both kernel and userland? i thought you could upgrade kernel but leave userlan | |
| [05:39] <codster> okay i only ran "Update" | |
| [05:39] <flaccid> must be wrong | |
| [05:39] <doorknob60> dist-upgrade does everything | |
| [05:39] <flaccid> oky doky | |
| [05:39] <codster> okay | |
| [05:39] <codster> thanks | |
| [05:39] <doorknob60> i confirmed that eralier today by upgrading etch to lenny | |
| [05:39] <flaccid> doorknob60: so if you do only upgrade, the kernel will be left with dist-upgrade right? | |
| [05:39] <codster> wow | |
| [05:39] <doorknob60> yeah | |
| [05:39] <codster> 768 Upgraded | |
| [05:39] <flaccid> cool | |

| [05:40] <codster> 760Kbps :D | |
| [05:40] <doorknob60> in these situations anyways | |
| [05:40] <flaccid> ok thanks doorknob60 | |
| [05:40] <codster> thank you soo much, if i do go to sleep can i leave this running? | |
| [05:40] <doorknob60> yeah, but after it downloads it likes to ask a ton of questions :P | |
| [05:40] <codster> will their be some dramatic message poping up lol | |
| [05:40] <codster> okay | |
| [05:40] <codster> well thats not bad | |

| === snake is now known as albuntu | |
| [06:08] <Jucato> what problem? | |
| [06:09] <albuntu> Jucato i cant even point the mouse to html or xml files because i get this error | |
| [06:11] <albuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/20774/ | |
| [06:11] <Jucato> hm.. that seems to be a common error lately... | |
| [06:11] * Jucato investigates | |
| [06:12] <flaccid> yeah thats a bug, people have fixed it by removing the text/html mimetype from the file | |
| [06:12] <Jucato> listen to flaccid :) | |
| [06:12] <albuntu> flaccid thanks. i saw that before | |
| [06:12] <albuntu> but i thought some | |
| [06:13] <albuntu> permanent solution was out | |
| [06:13] <flaccid> im not sure if someone even submitted a bug, i don't use ipod so i didn't submit the but. but to me podcasts are xml so text/html is invalid. but im not sure the purpose of the desktop file | |
| [06:15] <albuntu> anyways dolphin is a file manager so | |
| [06:15] <albuntu> no file would do that indipendently by the type | |
| [06:17] <Jucato> I think the problem is that D3lphin (Dolphin KDE 3 hack) tries to load file-specific service menus in the Information sidebar, which causes the error | |
| [06:17] <Jucato> (of course Dolphin (KDE 4) doesn't do that...) | |
| [06:18] <albuntu> yes maybe you are right | |
| [06:18] <albuntu> but it seems strange to me that no permanent solution was found | |
| [06:19] <flaccid> maybe because nobody followed it up | |
| [06:19] <Jucato> the service menu is properly konqueror's, which doesn't load/detect the service menu unless a right-click has been made. unlike D3lphin | |
| [06:19] * Jucato thinks a permanent solution would be to remove D3lphin... :D | |
| [06:20] <doorknob60> konqueror > d3lphin | |
| [06:20] <Jucato> * > d3lphin :D | |
| [06:21] <Jucato> er.. everything except Explorer... | |

| [09:32] <sjck> Hey, how can I use mouse buttons 4&5 as shortcut? | |
| [09:33] <dwidmann> sjck: you might be able to work something like that out with xbindkeys ... | |
| [09:34] <sjck> sorry, what you mean? I try to use settings->configure shortcuts but it seems that it dont know that buttons | |
| [09:35] <dwidmann> Yeah, I know, you can't use them there ... but if you think it would be useful,k you could tie one of those button presses to a command (ie: anything you would use in a shell .... including dcop commands) | |
| [09:36] <sjck> that sounds quiet complicated, anyways you know how to bind in konqueror back and forward? | |
| [09:36] <dwidmann> I'm not sure, there might be another, easier way to do it ..... but I personally don't know it ... I'll google it and see if I can come up with anything | |
| [09:37] <sjck> thank you :) I'm googling aswell | |
| [09:38] <JackWinter> so no known issues with kded in 8.04 except for USB devices causing it to race ? | |
| [09:39] <dwidmann> sjck: you can tie the mouse button to a button combo with xbindkeys I think .... like, you could make button4 = ctrl+alt+shift+x if you wanted to (anything you want) .... slightly complicated though it may be, it *should* work | |
| [09:40] <sjck> there should be a wiki article about extra mouse buttons | |
| [09:40] <sjck> but I cant find | |
| [09:43] <dwidmann> wait, I think I've found something interesting here that might do the trick | |

| [09:58] <JackWinter> just as a matter of interest, how can an app take 240% cpu according to top ? | |
| [09:59] <dwidmann> JackWinter: multiple cores? | |
| [09:59] <JackWinter> dwidmann: yes q6600 | |
| [09:59] <dwidmann> so, 240% out of 400% possible | |
| [10:00] <JackWinter> dwidmann: aha, thanks didn't know that. | |
| [10:01] <JackWinter> so kded taking 90% is no biggie, especially if it yields gracefully to other apps. I think I managed to eliminate the app giving me problems with audio. must have been skype being less than civalized with its resources... | |
| [10:02] <dwidmann> hmm, my kded is using <1% cpu | |
| [10:03] <JackWinter> now under load kded cpu usage has shrunk to 30% according to top | |
| [10:03] <dwidmann> still abnormally high IMO | |
| [10:04] <JackWinter> i can't remember ever seing it use that much either. don't really want to kill all my apps though ;) | |

| [12:39] <TheBeatles> Im using Ubuntu 8.04 and i want to Virtual box Kubuntu how much hard drive space is this gonna take | |
| [12:39] <minhaaj> not much | |
| [12:39] <minhaaj> i have it installed | |
| [12:40] <TheBeatles> I noticed the .iso is 3.3g | |
| [12:40] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get install virtualbox | |
| [12:40] <TheBeatles> thats already dont | |
| [12:40] <TheBeatles> done | |
| [12:41] <minhaaj> cool, then use it | |
| [12:41] <TheBeatles> is it only gonna take 3.3g of space? | |
| [12:41] <minhaaj> no way | |
| [12:42] <minhaaj> atleast not virtualbox | |
| [12:42] <flaccid> !info virtualbox | |
| [12:42] <ubottu> Package virtualbox does not exist in hardy | |
| [12:42] <ahmad> !info virtualbox-ose | |
| [12:42] <ubottu> virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - binaries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6216 kB, installed size 20176 kB | |
| [12:43] <minhaaj> good work ahmed | |
| [12:43] <flaccid> whats the virtualiser that is most free / native to linux? | |
| [12:44] <stefanos_> hi | |
| [12:45] <stefanos_> anybody knows why xgl/fglrx/hardy doesn't work using the "xgl session method" (found on a feisty how-to)? | |
| [12:45] <flaccid> what is xgl session method, can you show me? | |
| [12:45] <ahmad> flaccid: it depends on your needs really but virtualbox should be fine for most purposes and from my experience it's much faster than anything else, including VMWare | |
| [12:46] <stefanos_> flaccid: yea wait a minute | |
| [12:46] <flaccid> ok ahmad cheers | |
| [12:46] <minhaaj> VMware is awful | |
| [12:47] <stefanos_> flaccid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl | |
| [12:48] <stefanos_> ooops, says that for 7.10 the method is defferent. sorry, i didn't notice | |
| [12:49] <flaccid> stefanos_: its auto now iirc | |
| [12:49] <stefanos_> flaccid: auto? how? | |
| [12:49] <flaccid> hmm maybe not | |
| === bruno is now known as ovokinder | |
| [12:49] <flaccid> actually iirc, you don't need xgl now.. | |
| [12:50] <stefanos_> i don't think compizconfig includes xgl anymore | |
| [12:50] <TheBeatles> Hey can i dual-boot Kubuntu with Ubuntu simliar to Ubuntu with WIndowS? | |
| [12:50] <stefanos_> flaccid: i need it cause it's sooooooo much faster than aiglx and has better xv video overlay quality and performance and it never crashed on my ati9600xt... | |
| [12:50] <ahmad> TheBeatles: you can but you usually wouldn't need it.. just install both desktop environments | |
| [12:52] <flaccid> i'll look into it. im on 9600 myself | |
| [12:52] <stefanos_> flaccid: haven't you noticed it's slow on kde4? also this xv performance issue really gets on my nerves | |
| [12:52] <flaccid> um its not too bad | |
| [12:53] <flaccid> 8487 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1697.338 FPS w/ desktop effects on | |
| [12:54] <stefanos_> i am talking about quality, not speed. when watching videos with a resolution any lower than your desktops it really is awful compared with xgl/no acceleration. which engine / output module are you using? | |
| [12:56] <flaccid> i don't know what an engine or output module is sorry | |

| [13:25] <ActionParsnip> no idea | |
| [13:26] <flaccid> is the notebook the exact same model? | |

| [13:27] * ActionParsnip repeats for flaccid | |
| [13:27] <the-erm> Well it's 1525N for the ubuntu laptop, and 1525 for the windows. | |
| [13:28] <the-erm> but the windows laptop has more memory & afew other things. | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> so whats the difference in spec? | |
| [13:28] <nyuu__> hi | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> thats why then | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> nothing to do with OS | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> more hardware == more cash | |
| [13:28] <Dr_Willis> Dell has gotten a bad press for that befor.. BUT from what i read.. dell i actually several different 'departments' and the linux dept. will oftenhave different deals then the other dept. that may have different deals then the business dept. and so forth | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> nyuu__: howdy | |
| [13:28] <nyuu__> I am watchin HD anime videos with mplayer | |

| [13:28] <nyuu__> but it plays slowly | |
| [13:28] <ActionParsnip> nyuu__: got latest codecs? | |
| [13:28] <the-erm> NO the point is the 1525 has more hardware, but costs less that 1525N. | |
| [13:28] <Dr_Willis> I recall some large blogs/discussion on that topic the-erm by some ex-dell employees | |
| [13:29] <nyuu__> yea | |
| [13:29] <nyuu__> the problem is... | |
| [13:29] <ActionParsnip> the-erm: i see | |
| [13:29] <flaccid> can i have links to both? | |
| [13:29] <flaccid> on the same shop | |
| [13:29] <the-erm> let me find it. | |
| [13:29] <nyuu__> my laptop can't play with accuracy about 1920x1500 stuff | |
| [13:29] <flaccid> needs to be same shop like what Dr_Willis said | |
| [13:30] <ActionParsnip> nyuu__: tried another player? | |

| [13:36] <the-erm> solo: I don't know how it works in synaptic, but with adept_manager you can do a search, and then view the details, and it'll show you where the files are. | |
| [13:36] <mm> I might try from konsole.. The prog might not make a GUI entry. | |

| [14:53] <noaXess> have set twice, that gtk apps should use the same font as kde apps | |
| [14:53] <Daisuke_Laptop> check your font dpi in your system settings, make sure it's 96, and then restart skype | |

| [14:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> i thought it was qt, similar to opera | |
| [14:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> no, you're going to have to adjust gtk font settings | |
| [14:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> they do not, should not, and will not use the same fonts as their kde counterparts :) | |
| [14:57] <noaXess> Daisuke_Laptop: have now set dpi to 96.. skype seams to be okay.. but all other app fonts are no really small | |
| [14:57] <Daisuke_Laptop> then change it back | |
| [14:58] <Daisuke_Laptop> see what i said about not realizing skype was a gtk app | |
| [14:58] <Daisuke_Laptop> kde font settings aren't going to change anything with skype | |
| [14:59] <noaXess> Daisuke_Laptop: but any idea, why it has worked before the latest updates? | |
| [14:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> not really | |
| [14:59] <afeijo_> hard to be ignored | |
| [14:59] <rajkalyan> can someone give me a walkthrough on how to install skype on kubuntu gutsy? | |
| [14:59] <afeijo_> skype.com ! | |
| [14:59] <noaXess> rajkalyan: donwload it and install it | |
| [15:00] <rajkalyan> theres no comand line stuff? | |
| [15:00] <noaXess> no.. is there any other way.. to change the font size in gtk/q apps? | |
| [15:00] <noaXess> qt apps | |
| [15:05] <noaXess> !qt | |
| [15:05] <ubottu> Qt is the Qt (pronounced "cute") toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt 3 applications or libqt4-dev for Qt 4 applications. Qt 4.4 is available from hardy-backports | |
| [15:05] <noaXess> !GUI | |
| [15:05] <ubottu> The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) | |
| [15:05] <noaXess> how can i sse which qt version is allready installed? | |
| [15:06] <rajkalyan> i downloaded the file | |
| [15:06] <rajkalyan> it gave me a .deb file | |
| [15:06] <rajkalyan> now what? | |
| [15:06] <minhaaj> does anyone use task manager and event alerts online ? | |
| [15:06] <minhaaj> what is a good program, or web-based service ? | |
| [15:07] <noaXess> rajkalyan: just double click it | |
| [15:07] <rajkalyan> which file? | |
| [15:07] <rajkalyan> thers three | |

| [15:08] <lxuser> heya i got some problems with cd-mounting. anyone in here who wants to help me? | |
| [15:08] <rajkalyan> sure | |
| [15:08] <rajkalyan> whats wrong? | |
| [15:08] <noaXess> rajkalyan: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu | |
| [15:08] <noaXess> rajkalyan: take this one | |
| [15:09] <lxuser> when i try to mountdev/scd0 | |
| [15:09] <rajkalyan> i clicked it | |
| [15:09] <rajkalyan> and it opened in a ark window | |
| [15:10] <lxuser> it says block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only | |
| [15:10] <rajkalyan> noaXess, i clicked it and i opened up in ark | |
| [15:10] <rajkalyan> now what? | |
| [15:11] <noaXess> rajkalyan: than go to your konsole and type dpkg -i path/to/skype.deb | |
| [15:11] <noaXess> sudo dpkg -i .... | |
| [15:11] <rajkalyan> ok | |
| [15:12] <Daisuke_Laptop> lxuser: yeah, they're read-only, what's the problem? | |
| [15:15] <kkathman> morning (or good day) folks :) | |
| [15:16] <Daisuke_Laptop> cds are read only, and should be mounted read only, i fail to see the problem | |
| [15:16] <lxuser> so after i mountedt it read only it says wrong fs type | |
| [15:16] <lxuser> so i added mount -t iso9660 to it | |
| [15:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> no, you read the error wrong | |
| [15:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> it says block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only | |
| [15:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> "mounting" - it already did it | |
| [15:17] <lxuser> yh | |
| [15:17] <lxuser> but | |
| [15:17] <noaXess> Daisuke_Laptop: qt4-config is the solution | |
| [15:17] <lxuser> after this it says wrong fs type | |
| [15:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> and why aren't cds automounting in the first place, i'd be more concerned with that | |
| [15:18] <rajkalyan> noaXess, that doesn't work if adept is running does it? | |
| [15:19] <lxuser> my problem is after its mounted it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0..." | |
| [15:19] <lxuser> and i dont know what to do now | |

| [15:24] <rajkalyan> how do i check if my microphone is connected and detected on kubuntu? | |
| [15:25] <Daisuke_Laptop> rajkalyan: turn the volume way up, put your ear right next to the speaker, then blow into the mic as hard as you can - if you go deaf, it was connected and detected. | |
| [15:25] <rajkalyan> ok | |
| [15:26] <Daisuke_Laptop> i really gotta be more careful with my sarcasm | |
| [15:26] <rajkalyan> ya think? | |

| [16:12] <marcus__> The default is usually EXT32, I believe... | |

| [17:58] <window> anyone? | |
| [17:58] <Marphine> Here I am to solicit technical help. What a shock! | |
| [17:58] <genii> Yes. With sudo | |
| [17:58] <vczcdfad> hello, how come when i modprobe -r ndiswrapper, modprobe -l | grep ndiswrap get lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko still??? | |
| [17:59] <santiago-ve> Marphine: well | |
| [17:59] <genii> window: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | |
| [17:59] <Marphine> I am trying to get Dapper Drake Kubuntu to recognise my Netgear 802.11G WG311 PCI card. | |
| [17:59] <santiago-ve> Marphine: i suggest you to change to hardy Heron... | |
| [17:59] <santiago-ve> it is LTS too | |
| [17:59] <santiago-ve> anywhat | |
| [17:59] <santiago-ve> lemme google | |
| [18:00] <Marphine> Said card is my only net access so I can only get online with my windows partition so I cannot use the adept installer to do anything | |
| [18:00] <Marphine> Hardy requires more RAM than I have | |
| [18:01] <Marphine> and I can't see putting money into this P3-966 to get it up to spec | |
| [18:01] <santiago-ve> Marphine: how much ram do you have?= | |
| [18:01] <Marphine> 256 | |
| [18:01] <rickest> Marphine: you might be better off installing ubuntu server and selecting a minimal window manager; i.e., icewm, xfce, etc. | |
| [18:01] <Marphine> Hardy needs something close to 300... I can't remember the exact number | |
| [18:02] <santiago-ve> Marphine: that's for graphical install | |
| [18:02] <santiago-ve> you can use an alternate install | |
| [18:02] <santiago-ve> which requires lot less of memory | |
| [18:02] <santiago-ve> and runs in text mode | |
| [18:02] <Marphine> yes but I'm not familiar enough with the process to trty the command line install | |
| [18:03] <santiago-ve> Marphine: its really easy | |
| [18:03] <santiago-ve> :p | |
| [18:03] <Marphine> but the only issue I'm having now that's a problem is this wireless card. Unless that will resolve the driver issue it's not where I''m trying to go with this system at the moment | |
| [18:03] <santiago-ve> ye, i undestand | |
| [18:04] <dwidmann> me on a typical day .... 850MiB :O | |
| [18:04] <Marphine> also I have no net access on Linux without getting this card going so I couldn't update after installing | |
| [18:05] <Marphine> in fact I'm not using linux at all currently because everything I do on this machine involves the 'Net | |
| [18:05] <Marphine> It looks like I need to install either Madwifi or ath5k | |
| [18:05] <santiago-ve> Marphine: do a lspci (on a console) | |
| [18:05] <santiago-ve> and use pastebin to pass the result | |
| [18:05] <Marphine> okay what will that do? | |
| [18:06] <jagguli> hi all ... im havin a problem ... alsa seems to have broken after upgrade ... any suggestions how to fix this ... | |
| [18:06] <santiago-ve> give the info about the hardware you have | |
| [18:06] <Marphine> I'm not able to do that without rebooting the computer | |
| [18:06] <santiago-ve> :S | |
| [18:06] <santiago-ve> well Marphine check these links out then: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Netgear | |
| [18:06] <Marphine> anyway I know what piece of hardware is not working... I have the box for it sitting on my desk right now | |
| [18:07] <santiago-ve> http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=732298&page=5 | |
| [18:07] <santiago-ve> http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Netgear | |
| [18:07] <Marphine> It is compatable with my chipset if I can install one of the beforementioned packages - Madwifi or (preferably) ath5k | |
| [18:08] <Marphine> they work with the Atheros chipset the card has | |
| [18:08] <santiago-ve> Marphine: give it a try :D | |
| [18:09] <Marphine> but I am not familiar with installing software without the adapt manager that comes with the OS and in this case I need to download some archive and install from that rather then from repository | |
| [18:11] <Marphine> hmmm okay it says that there are a couple on revisions so I'll have to doublecheck for compatability | |
| [18:12] <santiago-ve> Marphine: you can ask here for assistance | |
| [18:12] <santiago-ve> we're here for taht :) | |
| [18:13] <jaggulli> oh ... the problem fixed itseld | |
| [18:13] <Marphine> yeah I'm trying to verify the version of the card - apparently there is one that will not work with the madwifi driver and I need to make sure that's not the one I have before proceeding | |
| [18:13] <minhaaj> firefox 3 is otu ? | |
| [18:13] <minhaaj> i can't open up the website | |
| [18:13] <minhaaj> sounds like load | |
| [18:13] <Marphine> looking for my tiny mirror so I don't have to pull tghe card | |
| [18:15] <Marphine> okay it's a revision 1 so I can proceed with not knowing how to proceed | |
| [18:16] <llutz> Moin | |
| [18:16] <Marphine> but ... uh ... I sort of still need some help | |
| [18:17] <santiago-ve> Marphine: ill be arround | |
| [18:18] <Marphine> I'm looking at those links you sent - there's a lot of info I need to look over now | |

| [18:36] <window> yeah but how do i do it when i CAN do it? | |
| [18:37] <minhaaj> what torrent ? | |
| [18:37] <llutz> just wait a few days, final-release is not that important | |
| [18:37] <minhaaj> why not ? | |
| [18:38] <minhaaj> RC3 was cool. faster and smarter | |
| [18:38] <minhaaj> but crashed alot. | |
| [18:38] <minhaaj> can't wait to see if ff3 final does the job | |
| [18:38] <jack_spratt> make it sexier i say | |
| [18:38] <Israphel> long life to konqueror :) | |
| [18:39] <Israphel> this torrent http://www.mininova.org/det/1512301 | |

| [18:40] <minhaaj> who cares about the record | |
| [18:40] <Israphel> I do | |

| [18:43] <minhaaj> alextvm_: hold ctrl+alt and move the screen from mouse | |
| [18:43] <minhaaj> you could see the cube | |
| [18:43] <Israphel> alextvm_: check in the compiz config, in cube desktop, there's an option to see the cube inside, disable it | |

| [18:48] <Asad> can anyone provide me partition help? | |
| [18:48] <minhaaj> how about 8 secs to get english version and upload it ? | |
| [18:49] <llutz> maybe, i had a direct link to the german one, that's why it was so fast | |

| [18:49] <frybye> is there a way to easily replace the firefox3 rc3 that i have at the moment with the f-fox3-final that has been released today??? | |
| [18:49] <frybye> there is no menupoint "Update." | |
| [18:50] <minhaaj> uninstall it | |
| [18:50] <alextvm_> hello is there a way to pause "sudo apt-get install" so in case i have to stop the process it doesnt have to start all over again? | |
| [18:50] <_CrashMaster_> alextvm_: Im pretty sure its an all or nothing command | |
| [18:51] <frybye> - my ? put differently - when is the f-fox3-final likely to show up in the repositories...? | |
| [18:52] <alextvm_> ok thanks | |
| [18:53] <frybye> - or - who has replaced an earlier f-fox3rc with the new f-fox3-final and how did you go about it?? | |
| [18:54] <Jason2gs> I have Ubuntu has the only operating system on my laptop. I'm currently building a desktop computer, but I'm not sure if I should install Ubuntu, or because I kinda like the KDE look, Kubuntu. If I install Kubuntu, will I have any compatibility issues? I wouldn't think so, but I think it'd be best to check... | |
| [18:56] <frybye> you can check your hardware against the compatibility list - eh - i think what works for ubuntu works for kubuntu or..? | |
| [18:56] <_CrashMaster_> Jason2gs: As I understand it, Kubuntu and Ubuntu only differ in that Kubuntu used KDE and Unbuntu uses Gnome. And you can easily switch back and forth between the two. | |
| [18:56] <window> ok how do i ad the Firefox to my repository? or how can i do it via Konsole? | |
| [18:57] <frybye> the firefox in the repositories is still the rc3 as far as I am aware...??? | |
| [18:57] <window> darn | |
| [18:57] <frybye> window: my feelings exactly.. | |
| [18:58] <frybye> there are alternative ways to install - but I don't know enough to say how or if it would replace the existing one if you have it.. | |
| [18:58] <frybye> generally if one just installs something -by hand- it tends to run parallel to other versions - depending perhaps on where you put it - but I am too much of a newbie to say much about this...l | |
| [18:58] <_CrashMaster_> frybye: window: www.Firefox.com You can download the latest and the install instructions provided are pretty straight forward. | |
| [18:58] <TimS> RC3 is the same as 3 final, so don't worry about updating if you have RC3 | |
| [18:59] <frybye> _CrashMaster_: but that will install it alongside the existing rc3 or..? | |
| [18:59] <TimS> frybye: Do you have RC3 atm? | |
| [18:59] <frybye> TimS: is that a fact.. | |
| [18:59] <TimS> Yes | |
| [18:59] <frybye> yes... i hvae rc3... | |
| [18:59] <_CrashMaster_> frybye: When I did it, it replaced RC3 | |
| [19:00] <_CrashMaster_> But as TimS said, they are the same thing, when you boil it down. | |
| [19:00] <frybye> as far as i k - the rc3 only had a change on rc2 relating to a mac os problem.. but I was not aware that the rc3 was the same as final...? | |
| [19:00] <TimS> frybye: If you want to help the world record, download it off their servers. | |
| [19:00] <TimS> http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/linux-i686/en-US/ | |
| [19:01] <TimS> According to the guys in the mozilla irc(irc.mozilla.org) its the same | |
| [19:01] <frybye> I hve to be a bit carefull cos I am on an amd64 system and want the flash etc to still work afterwards.. being a newbie I woiuld have trouble setting it up by hand.. | |
| [19:01] <TimS> Oh I see | |
| [19:01] <frybye> TimS: ok i had better stick with what I have for just now... | |
| [19:01] <TimS> That was the 32 bit link | |
| [19:02] <TimS> frybye: Yeah, it will be in the reppos before too long, although updates in the reppos wont count towards the record | |
| [19:02] <frybye> right and i am in germany anyhows.. the us english might not be right I guess.. | |
| [19:02] <frybye> i am going to hang on I guess.. would like to help with the record but... | |
| [19:03] <frybye> dont want a screwed system... no flash etc... | |
| [19:03] <TimS> No, i was just guessing :P | |
| [19:03] <TimS> frybye: Do what I did, download it then just delete it :P | |
| [19:03] <frybye> TimS: sneaky thing you hehehehe | |
| [19:03] <|Toad> how do i tell what version i'm using? when i go to about firefox, it just says 3.0, but i know it's rc something | |
| [19:04] <frybye> |Toad: same here... | |
| [19:04] <frybye> if you go to the "version info" page it is all about rc3 - or was yesterday.. not not accessable... | |
| [19:04] <frybye> e e e now not accessable... | |
| [19:05] <_CrashMaster_> from a terminal, type "firefox -v" to get your exact version | |
| === Gohan is now known as testsym | |
| [19:05] <TimS> _CrashMaster_: That gives me FF3 | |
| [19:05] <TimS> I know I am on RC3 | |
| [19:05] <|Toad> yeah | |
| [19:05] <_CrashMaster_> odd | |
| [19:06] <|Toad> adept says that i have rc1 installed.... | |
| [19:06] <|Toad> but it never gve me an option to get anyhting higher | |
| [19:06] <TimS> |Toad: how can you tell in adept? | |
| [19:06] <|Toad> it says rc1 in the description | |
| [19:06] <frybye> I got rc1 via adept in kde3 a bit back - but in kde4 if I am not mistaken it got me the rc3 a day or two ago... | |
| [19:07] <TimS> Odd, not for me | |
| [19:07] <frybye> ah - what the heck - apart from the d-load record - the rc3 is pretty good - stable - fast as lightning etc... | |
| [19:07] <_CrashMaster_> frybye: try #firefox maybe they can get you some better information. | |
| [19:08] <frybye> Crash - ok but it really is not that big a deal... | |

| [20:13] <Rioting_pacifist> minhaaj: yes but either mozilla redefined the term release candidate or the more likely situation, firefox3rc3 IS firefox3 | |
| [20:13] <minhaaj> no its not | |

| [20:13] <ActionParsnip> engineer: that downloads the exe dude | |
| [20:14] <ActionParsnip> so it wont extract | |
| [20:14] <Pici> _CrashMaster_: Could be thats the case, I'm just going off of what launchpad is telling me | |
| [20:14] <engineer> i know, some applications i run from my /home | |

| [20:23] <Haza1> And engineer ;) | |
| [20:23] <Rioting_pacifist> rav what fixed it? | |
| [20:23] <ActionParsnip> lo Haza | |
| [20:23] <mrksbrd> ok....Rioting_pacifist:what is your way to install ff3? | |
| [20:23] <Haza1> (he is always very helpful) | |
| [20:24] <engineer> i have to use firefox 32bit in my 64bit arch | |

| [20:24] <engineer> i have to go | |
| [20:24] <minhaaj> wget isnt working | |
| [20:24] <minhaaj> :s | |
| [20:25] <Rioting_pacifist> well id go though repos because rc3 is ff3 but if your going to install the tar move the files to /opt/firefox then "ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox" then "rm -r /opt/firefox/plugins" then "ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ /opt/firefox/plugins/" | |
| [20:25] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: for desktop? | |
| [20:25] <mrksbrd> Rioting_pacifist:what is your way to install ff3?....I would like to do it the easiest way possible | |
| [20:25] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: like recording your desktop | |
| [20:25] <Haza1> ActionParsnip: indeed matey | |
| [20:25] <rav> Rioting_pacifist: i installed gnome-support, and nothing | |
| [20:26] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop | |
| [20:26] <Rioting_pacifist> rav try removing libbonoboui2-0 | |
| [20:26] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: ;) | |
| [20:26] <Haza1> ActionParsnip: That easy eh~/ | |
| [20:26] <Rioting_pacifist> mrksbrd: well id go though repos because rc3 is ff3 but if your going to install the tar move the files to /opt/firefox then "ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox" then "rm -r /opt/firefox/plugins" then "ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ /opt/firefox/plugins/" | |
| [20:26] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: always the case in linux my friend | |
| [20:27] <Haza1> ActionParsnip: Hahahah, im starting to learn that as each day passes :) | |
| [20:27] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: why make it complicated | |
| [20:27] <mrksbrd> what is the repoo command? sudo apt-get install ff3rc3? | |
| [20:27] <Rioting_pacifist> sudo apt-get install firefox | |
| [20:27] <ActionParsnip> mrksbrd: try tab completing ;) | |
| [20:28] <user1_> i cant start kde and x. how to reconfigure or reinstall all that kde or x? | |
| [20:28] <Rioting_pacifist> firefox will install ffrc3 which will be renamed in a few days, unless minhaaj. actually has a clue and mozilla have redefined release cycles for firefox3, but i find both of those unlikely | |
| [20:28] <minhaaj> dont pay attention to Rioting_pacifist | |
| [20:28] <minhaaj> he is some weird IE8 freak | |
| [20:29] <minhaaj> get ff3. its in adept manager now | |
| [20:29] <user1_> i cant start kde and x. how to reconfigure or reinstall all that kde or x? | |
| [20:29] <Haza1> ActionParsnip: I have another question | |

| [20:29] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: sup | |
| [20:29] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: always ask, someone will answer | |
| [20:29] <rav> Rioting_pacifist: that worked, removing libbonoboui2-0 and all libs connected to it fixed it. Thanks! | |
| [20:30] <Haza1> So, i noticed that some programs i apt-get do not appear in the ...well.... start menu | |
| [20:30] <mrksbrd> i feel like an idiot now....i've tried everything but simple command of "get install firefox" .........<<<<<<<<<<<<<is a jackass | |
| [20:30] <Rioting_pacifist> if you have a launchpad acount could you confirm my bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/240472 i dont think anybody else has noticed | |

| [20:36] <ActionParsnip> user1_: pen and paper, or use your mind | |
| [20:36] <Rioting_pacifist> actually if you boot into recovery mode a menu should give you the option of fixing x | |

| [20:37] <Mr_Cheeto> how do i search for repositories? | |
| [20:38] <Rioting_pacifist> user1_: I think the easiest way to fix your problem is to roboot into recovery mode, press esc, get up grub, then youll get a menu and it will offer you fix x, that should fix your system | |
| [20:38] <Rioting_pacifist> Mr_Cheeto: use adept_manager or aptitude search <name> | |

| [20:51] <Glisha> I upgrade with apt-get | |
| [20:52] <Glisha> does anyone have an idea? | |
| [20:52] <jpds> Glisha: install apt-listchanges | |

| [20:56] <coreymon77> im not installing it from there | |
| [20:56] <ActionParsnip> Haza1: ~/ | |
| [20:56] <coreymon77> im just not sure if downloading from repos counts towards the record | |
| [20:57] <coreymon77> so i downloaded the package from the site] | |
| [20:57] <Israphel> no it doesn't | |
| [20:57] <coreymon77> but installed through apt | |
| [20:57] <ActionParsnip> the company i work for beat mozilla for best code developers in USA | |
| [20:57] <_2> ubottu said a mouth full that time, "For best results, do not install...from mozilla.com." :) | |
| [20:57] <ubottu> _2: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | |
| [20:57] <Rioting_pacifist> nvm think i got it it was just sudo alsa force-reload | |
| [20:58] <coreymon77> meh | |
| [20:58] <minhaaj> well i did download a copy from website too :) completed my pledge | |
| [20:58] <ActionParsnip> done mine too just forlaughs | |
| [20:58] <coreymon77> download the file from mozilla anyways, in order to help the record | |
| [20:58] <coreymon77> minhaaj: me too | |
| [20:58] <Mr_Cheeto> how do i search for repos? like if I wanted Killerap.com's browser how would i find their repo? | |
| [20:58] <ActionParsnip> why is the record important. doesnt change anything really | |
| [20:58] <coreymon77> ActionParsnip: bragging rights | |
| [20:59] <Mr_Cheeto> yeah plus the Mozzila guys are roasting marshmallows on their servers | |
| [20:59] <Rioting_pacifist> Mr_Cheeto: you use adept_manager or aptitude search to search through repos, there arnt many external repos , you find them through google though | |
| [20:59] <ActionParsnip> coreymon77: bragging rights are for people with small penis' | |
| [20:59] <Mr_Cheeto> ooooh, kthx | |
| [20:59] <coreymon77> ActionParsnip: i did it because i pledged that i was going to | |
| [20:59] <coreymon77> so i did | |
| [20:59] <Mr_Cheeto> ActionParsnip, do u konw sum1 with more thanone peni? | |
| [20:59] <coreymon77> wierd thing though | |

| [21:01] <_2> Glisha ah pre-install. yes you have to get that from the web. | |
| [21:02] <jpds> Glisha: apt-listchanges shows you changes before installing | |
| [21:03] <_2> it helps to be precise in what one is looking for. ("give me an egg" ... 'splat, the yoke is on you') | |
| [21:04] <Glisha> jpds: ha, I saw filename.deb and ignored the --apt switch, my bad. :) | |

| [21:15] <_2> i still have something eating ram, and i can't find it. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d706d3b1e | |
| [21:16] <Rioting_pacifist> _2: try htop or ps -Al | |
| [21:16] <_2> Rioting_pacifist huh ? | |
| [21:17] <Rioting_pacifist> ps -Al will give you more info to find it and htop is a nice alternative that gives loads of info | |
| [21:19] <_2> ? | |
| [21:21] <_2> one would have to start a gui to use htop heh. | |
| [21:22] <andreina> hello! | |
| [21:22] <andreina> andreina205herr@hotmail.com | |
| [21:22] <Rioting_pacifist> no htop is CLI but ps -Al will give you the info you need | |
| [21:23] <_2> Rioting_pacifist you can not config htop in a console i just tried it. you can from a gui i tried it too. | |
| [21:23] <_2> at least the fersion i have. hopefully they fixed it in later releases | |
| [21:24] <Rioting_pacifist> htop is a command line app, you dont need X to configure it only htop | |
| [21:24] <_2> tell the app don't tell me. | |
| [21:25] <_2> start htop press f2 and cpu goes to 100% and stays there nothing else happens you have to ^C kill it | |
| [21:26] <_2> run it inside of X and it doesn't have that problem. | |
| [21:26] <Rioting_pacifist> weird | |
| [21:26] <_2> is repetable tested three times. just to make sure i wasn't missing something. | |
| [21:27] <_2> as i stated ^ i hope they have fixed that by now. | |
| [21:28] <_2> but at any rate you have to start a gui to use htop in dapper unless you want to just look at the default output, in which case you might as well use top | |
| [21:30] <_2> thus my conclusion on that subject, "htop is completely worthless to me" | |
| [21:36] <sheleztt> Is "firefox 3 starts offline" problem solved in kde? | |
| [21:36] <_2> ps doesn't report anything using more ram than 0.4m and of the 33 processes you do the math, that should not be 12m (actually far less closer to 6 because i listed the highest as .4 some list .0 and some .1) but i show 16m used so something is amiss | |
| [21:37] <_2> something is eating ram, and i fail to find it. | |
| [21:39] <_2> another box reports Memory Used/Total Percent: 7/123 MB (5%) | |
| [21:39] <_2> Swap Used/Total Percent: 0/0 MB (0%) | |
| [21:39] <_2> which seems right. but this one is choaking out more than twice that much. | |
| [21:40] <sheleztt> _2: mm... top doesn't show the most "fat" process? | |
| [21:40] <_2> sheleztt yes 0.4m | |
| [21:40] <nightrow> Hi, i'm using kde4.0.5, but i can't get focus on a window by clicking inside . I have to click on the title bar to get focus. Is this a known bug ? | |
| [21:41] <Rioting_pacifist> what does ps -Al show? | |
| [21:42] <_2> note that the last several processes were the pastebin in progress. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d275d5ad7 | |
| [21:42] <sheleztt> _2: you've said that you fail to find it.. here it is, i think. | |
| [21:42] <_2> sheleztt i'm all ears. | |
| [21:43] <weswh-> how can i look at the various processes running on my system, to see how much RAM things are using up | |
| [21:43] <weswh-> i want to know how much firefox is using | |
| [21:43] <_2> top | |
| [21:43] <_2> ps aux | |
| [21:43] <_2> "htop" for those that like it. | |
| [21:43] <nightrow> try ksysguard otherwise | |
| [21:43] <Rioting_pacifist> weswh-: top, htop or probably ksysguard | |
| [21:44] <_2> alt+esc | |
| [21:44] <Rioting_pacifist> ctrl+esc i think | |
| [21:44] <_2> is it ^ ? | |
| [21:44] <Rioting_pacifist> but maybe i changed it | |
| [21:44] <_2> i don't use kde so i'll take your word for it. | |
| [21:45] <weswh-> is VMSize, the memory footprint? | |
| [21:46] <Rioting_pacifist> yeah | |
| [21:46] <_2> top is the most simple to understand of those imo | |
| [21:46] <weswh-> yeah top is nice | |
| [21:47] <Rioting_pacifist> _2: im not sure if this makes sense but is it possible that 7mb missing in ram is the kernel | |
| [21:47] <weswh-> so in top, VIRT says 338m, and RES says 167m | |
| [21:47] <weswh-> in ksysguard, it calls that VMSize and VMRSS | |
| [21:47] <_2> Rioting_pacifist sure. except for the fact that an identical system isn't loosing that 7m ;/ | |
| [21:49] <_2> Rioting_pacifist normally the "about 6m" that the kernel eats just doesn't show as part of the total i.e. it is not reported anywhere. | |
| [21:49] <Rioting_pacifist> try #linux or #debian i dont think theres much help for tracking down a few missing MB here, normally its just explaining how to use apt-get install | |
| [21:51] <_2> top says this box with 512m ram has (Mem: 515748k total) that's what? 503m so 9m not reported at all ? | |
| [21:53] <nightrow> _2 : i think the kernel takes some M of ram for itself at startup which is said not "usable" thus substracted from system memory | |
| [21:55] <_2> nightrow yeah that's what i said. just different words. | |
| [21:56] <nightrow> sorry - only read your last sentence ... :( | |
| === StasV is now known as LegolasV | |
| [21:58] <_2> the kernel of about 1.5m and the uncompressed initramfs of anywhere form 1 to 8 meg is just simply "lost" as far as all memory reporting methoods are concerned. it's kind of like the kernel "can't see itself?" so to speak. | |
| [22:00] <coreymon77> okay guys, question | |
| [22:00] <coreymon77> amarok can handle ipods right | |
| [22:00] <coreymon77> ? | |
| [22:00] <_2> so i hear. | |
| [22:00] <coreymon77> how | |
| [22:01] <_2> err that i don't know. | |
| [22:01] <_2> !ipod | |

| [22:03] <testi_> I'm trying to receive a file via bluetooth, but the phone says that the connection failed. At the same moment KDE bluetooth displays a message "Verbunden mit Liandri" (Liandri is the name of the phone) - However it doesn't do what I want - i can transfer files to the phone, but not the other way | |
| [22:04] <testi_> oh wait it doesn't say that the connection failed. it says that it failed to send. | |
| [22:06] <bestpvp> how do i dedect unmounted drives? | |
| [22:06] <_2> sudo fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions | |
| [22:06] <_2> unless you are talking about optical drives | |
| [22:06] <_2> then use eject | |
| [22:07] <bestpvp> i see the other disk | |
| === Haza1 is now known as Haza-zzz | |
| [22:08] <_2> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d5ca92865 | |
| [22:08] <_2> handy for cd/dvd drives ^ | |
| [22:08] <bestpvp> hmm i think sda2 i installed | |
| [22:08] <testi_> I found a workaround, looks like i can "mount" the phone via bluetooth, which is even more comfortable | |
| [22:08] <coreymon77> gah, its not working | |
| [22:08] <coreymon77> amarok is giving me the error that my ipod is a read only file system | |
| [22:09] <coreymon77> and i cant seem to change it | |
| [22:09] <bestpvp> how do i mount a drive? | |
| [22:09] <_2> coreymon77 kdesu amarok ? i know that doesn't sound like the best idea tho. | |
| [22:09] <bestpvp> want to make it linux file system aslo | |
| [22:10] <coreymon77> _2: tried that | |
| [22:10] <coreymon77> time to give gtkpod a try | |
| [22:12] <_2> bestpvp you use mke2fs or any of the wrapper scripts like mkfs.ext3 on the device example: sudo mke2fs -jc /dev/sda2 && sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt && echo "look in /mnt now" || echo "something failed" | |
| [22:12] <jals> hey for installing Wine 1.0 can i follow the ubuntu instructions on the wine page or will it be different for kde? | |
| [22:13] <_2> bestpvp that example should make an ext3 fs on device sda2 and mount it on /mnt or if not report that there was an error. | |
| [22:13] <jals> little new to this | |
| [22:13] <melkart> is there still hope for a point release on 8.04? | |
| [22:13] <Rioting_pacifist> melkart: what do you mean? | |
| [22:14] <_2> melkart like 8.04.1 ? no. | |
| [22:14] <melkart> Rioting_pacifist: a release 8.04.1 , before october, before 8.10 | |
| [22:14] <melkart> i see :/ | |
| [22:14] <bestpvp> ah maybe it's 1 drive only | |
| [22:14] <Rioting_pacifist> no but updates are released, what bug particularly bothers you? | |
| [22:14] <Rioting_pacifist> !firefox | |
| [22:14] <ubottu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | |
| [22:14] <bestpvp> sda means 1 drive yeah | |
| [22:15] <solifugus> after installing virtualbox--where the heck is it? i don't see it on the menu anywhere.. | |
| [22:15] <melkart> Rioting_pacifist: 8.04 never installed well for me | |
| [22:15] <melkart> Rioting_pacifist: so i am stuck with 7.10 | |
| [22:15] <melkart> Rioting_pacifist: if 8.10 doesnt work out for me, then i have a problem | |
| [22:16] <Rioting_pacifist> what was your particular problem wireless, gfk ? | |
| [22:17] <Rioting_pacifist> there were some kernel updates released but i think it was mainly for security and a couple updates were realesed that fixed issues with proprietory ATI (but then again OSS ATI is usable) | |
| [22:20] <_2> bestpvp look closely at the output of fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions the nominclature is pretty simple /dev < device dirrectory. /dev/sd < scsi device (includes usb and some sata) and /dev/hd < the ide bus, normally internal hard drives /dev/sda < the letter (a) starting with a and lettering upward is the drive letter{hda or sda is the first hdd}. /dev/sda1 < the number (1) starting with one and counting upward | |

| [22:21] <solifugus> virtualbox website seems to have tutorials and howtos on many advanced features but not a peep on how to actually start the damn thing. | |
| [22:21] <_2> after you understand the way things are called it makes perfect sense, and you can tell at a glance where a device/file_system is. | |

| [22:34] <nyuu> rickest: hmm I see | |
| [22:34] <nyuu> rickest: double mplayer? | |
| [22:34] <schmitty> i screwed with some settings and now all inactive windows (windows in the background) become slightly transparent. This is dragging down my system and i don't care for it. How can i turn it off now? | |

| [22:55] <RiotingPacifist> is it possible for global shotcuts to still work when in fullscreen games? | |
| [23:01] <DarkriftX> ok, now that FF3 is released, whats the proper way to install it on 7.10? i have the beta running from a folder on my desktop but i want it to upgrade ff2 instead (or replace it) | |
| [23:05] <Rioting_pacifist> DarkriftX: did you get an answere? | |
| [23:06] <DarkriftX> nope | |
| [23:07] <Rioting_pacifist> well im not sure how to install it through repos so my only solution would be to move it opt and then link it as shown in !firefox | |
| [23:07] <Rioting_pacifist> !firefox | |
| [23:07] <ubottu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | |
| [23:08] <DarkriftX> ok | |
| [23:09] <nordmoen> How come Kubuntu is so much better to save battery than Ubuntu? On my laptop I got 2 hours more out of it =D | |
| [23:10] <Rioting_pacifist> because it rocks, erm im not sure you could try running powertop 2hrs difference sounds like something is wrong with gnome (other than the obvious) | |
| [23:10] <nordmoen> hehe :P | |
| [23:12] <nordmoen> well from what I can tell, Kubuntu uses about 16~17w/h compared to 20~24 w/h in Ubuntu (with nothing runing, Kubuntu spikes to about 18w/h when the CPU is at 100%) | |

| [23:16] <`jason> i am changing from ubuntu to kubuntu, i have already done "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and i have many new items on my desktop but what do i do next | |
| [23:16] <Rioting_pacifist> nordmoen: that cant be right at 100% both will use the same, but any savings in kubuntu would be due to less wake ups, a likely option is you have compiz running in ubuntu but not kubuntu | |
| [23:16] <Rioting_pacifist> log into kde | |
| [23:17] <`jason> Rioting_pacifist, is that directed to me? | |
| [23:17] <Rioting_pacifist> `jason: yeah | |
| [23:17] <nordmoen> Rioting_pacifist: That might be right, but I still find that Kubuntu is better at saving power | |
| [23:17] <`jason> ok so basically, i restart and login to kde? | |
| [23:18] <Rioting_pacifist> `jason: log out and login to kde should do it, no need to restart, this is linux ;) | |
| [23:18] <richard_> help me help u | |
| [23:18] <`jason> oh cool thanks Rioting_pacifist | |

| [23:24] <Rioting_pacifist> `jason:sorry about that forgot to say from the login screan there should be a session type option , try starting a new session and looking for it under session type there should be failsafe, gnome and kde pick kde THEN login | |

| [23:28] <Rioting_pacifist> Dishivlatavish: i have no idea what fcntl: operation not permitted means, try starting it with kdesudo (very bad thing to do i know but if it works then the error is a permition error) | |
| [23:29] <javier> hello can someone help me identify my video card?? | |
