| [00:22] <Red_Wraith> Hey Action_Parsnip. Can you believe some jerk registered my ShadowKnight alias? | |
| [00:26] <Red_Wraith> Does anyone know where system:/media is in the root filesystem? | |
| [00:27] <sebastian> can i get help here for freespire aswell? | |
| [00:28] <jlaine> as it says, it's in /media | |
| [00:28] <ImperialJester> I'm sure you could, if they don't have their own channel... | |

| [00:34] <martijn81> am i the onlyone with a not working firefox in 8.04? | |
| [00:34] <MachinTrucChose> can someone tell me the difference in KSysGuard between "User %" and "System %" for CPU usage? | |
| [00:34] <martijn81> are there any reported bugs for this? | |
| [00:34] <MachinTrucChose> I'm using 80% user, but 10% system... | |
| [00:35] <MachinTrucChose> martijn81: none whatsoever. It installed from the update and been working fine since. | |

| [00:35] <Red_Wraith> Hello all. | |
| [00:36] <martijn81> MachinTrucChose: wierd, i even removed the temps files in ~/.mozilla | |
| [00:36] <Odd-rationale> MachinTrucChose: iirc, user is process started by you, system are processes sstarted by root... | |
| [00:36] <MachinTrucChose> Odd-rationale: got it, thanks. I was worried I was being limited to a certain amount of CPU percentage. | |

| [00:40] <Odd-rationale> ImperialJester: hey! | |
| [00:40] <Red_Wraith> Hey ActionParsnip. Can you believe the nick ShadowKnight was registered a couple of days ago? | |
| [00:40] <ImperialJester> Um... Hey? | |
| [00:40] <Odd-rationale> ImperialJester: what was that for? | |
| [00:40] <ImperialJester> Just trying things... | |
| [00:41] <ActionParsnip> shadownight is cool | |
| [00:41] <Red_Wraith> I know. But it was registered. While I was using it, no less! | |
| [00:41] * Red_Wraith grumble grumble. | |
| [00:43] <Red_Wraith> Anyhow, does anyone know how to get to system:/media in the root filesystem. I can't find it! | |
| [00:46] <ActionParsnip> Red_Wraith: how do you mean? | |
| [00:46] <ActionParsnip> Red_Wraith: surly cd /media works | |
| [00:48] <Red_Wraith> Well, in KDE you have a system places menu, and one of them is Storage Media. That takes you to someplace that in the Konqueror input bar it says system:/media and lists stuff like the cdrom drive and the windows partition. It is not the same as /dev. | |
| [00:48] <pucko-> Red_Wraith, it's not in the filesystem. it's an abstraction | |
| [00:49] <ActionParsnip> Red_Wraith: yes thats the /meda folder with cd drives etc | |
| [00:49] <R2LM> What's the equivalent of the Gnome program "Software Sources" in Kubuntu? | |
| [00:49] <Red_Wraith> pucko-: what do you mean by "abstraction" and ActionParsnip: No it's not. That's my problem. | |
| [00:50] <ActionParsnip> R2LM: adept sources? | |
| [00:51] <pucko-> Red_Wraith, what I mean is the there is no such place as system:/media on the filesystem. | |
| [00:51] <Red_Wraith> Right, so how does it get it? | |
| [00:51] <pucko-> Red_Wraith, kde just makes it up as a sensible abstraction for you to view your drives and such. | |
| [00:51] <Red_Wraith> Oh. Ok. | |
| [00:52] <pucko-> Red_Wraith, it checks mounted partition and stuff and looks for usb-drives and all that and then it lists what it thinks is apropriate... | |
| [00:52] <pucko-> like magic | |
| [00:52] <Red_Wraith> I was just wondering since that's really the only way I've managed to access my windows partition so far. Not that I use windows anymore, but I've got important files there. | |
| [00:52] <d1os_mio> p.ip.ip.i[#kubuntu] p.ip.ip.i | |
| [00:52] <Red_Wraith> *cough* games *cough* | |
| [00:53] <pucko-> Red_Wraith, you can still access them from the console. it's just a little more of a hassle.. but it's all there of course. | |
| [00:53] <ubuntu__> Hum. I seem to have totally n00bed up my system. Can somebody help me with a reinstall where I do not lose all my files? | |
| [00:53] <Red_Wraith> Yeah, I know. I was just wondering about that particular feature. Thanks for clarifying. | |
| [00:54] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | Red_Wraith | |
| [00:54] <ubottu> Red_Wraith: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | |

| [00:54] <Red_Wraith> Yeah, I know. Thanks though. | |
| [00:54] <R2LM> ActionParsnip: Is that the name in the menus somewhere? I have Kubuntu-desktop installed on top of my Ubuntu installation, so I'm not sure where to find "Adept Sources" in my menus. | |
| [00:55] <ubuntu__> Right now I booted from a live dvd and cannot open my existing partitions (hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 999) | |
| [00:55] <ActionParsnip> R2LM: you could edit /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [00:56] <R2LM> ActionParsnip: True, I've done that before, but I like to use a GUI when I can. :) So is "Adept Sources" the name of the program in the menus? | |
| [01:00] <ubuntu__> how do I mount my existing sda1 and sda3 partitions on the live dvd? I need to do a proper backup before I reinstall | |
| [01:01] <Guest96932> does anyone know what the error, the adp database could not be opened! this may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some simliar problem. etc. | |
| [01:02] <ubuntu__> I obviously cannot edit /etc/fstab, because it's on the dvd and not writable | |
| === esther is now known as Red_Wraith | |
| [01:07] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: write a script and put it on usb, or online | |

| [01:43] <CZ-18> jill: you should be able to do that from kcontrol, though | |
| [01:43] <Walzmyn> jill look in system settings | |
| [01:43] <CZ-18> jill: under Peripherals -> Monitor &Display | |
| [01:44] <jill> there is no any high resolution because i dont have a driver yet.. but i know vesa can use 1024x768 | |

| [01:52] <nicolasvenegas> hola | |
| [01:52] <nicolasvenegas> a todos | |
| [01:52] <jill> and if my download will complete is there 100% warranty multimedia files like avi or mpeg warks in kaffeine? | |
| [01:52] <nicolasvenegas> alguien me ayuda a actualizar kubuntu | |
| [01:54] <CZ-18> jill: depends, what packages are you downloading? and there can bever be 100% warranty, you never know if some weird crazy error happens (like lightening strike on computer) | |
| [01:54] <jill> okay)) 70% warranty?))) | |
| [01:54] <jill> 75?) | |
| [01:56] <CZ-18> jill: what packages are you downloading | |
| [01:57] <CZ-18> jill: If you have the dodecs, the files should work. Personally, I don't prefer using kaffeine, so I can't speak too much about it | |
| [01:58] <jill> after install of the system adept ask me in systray - "download updates?" and i say "yea, do this".. 250Mbytes are downloading now)) | |
| [01:58] <jill> like office core or kdelibs | |
| [01:59] <jill> and kde libs data.. there are too many packs | |
| [02:00] <dennis_p> smplayer is awesome it plays the subtitles that kaffeine could not and looks similar | |
| [02:01] <CZ-18> jill: you've have to download codecs, some don't come by default | |
| [02:02] <jill> give me any ways to do this | |
| [02:03] <jill> and i cant view russian symbols in amarok... but in old kde versions it was... | |
| [02:04] <CZ-18> jill: | |
| [02:04] <CZ-18> apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse | |
| [02:04] <CZ-18> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 | |
| [02:04] <CZ-18> all on one line | |
| [02:04] <dennis_p> i thought kaffeine activates automatic codec download when you try to open a unfree file | |
| [02:05] <jill> okay... it is so simlpe.. cant imagine it))) | |
| [02:05] <Walzmyn> dennis_p, so did i, but it didn't work for me either | |
| [02:06] <dennis_p> what you missed some old intel codec or something ancient? | |
| [02:09] <thomas__> Are there problems with the U.S. update servers? | |
| [02:11] <thult> so which one is the better? is it just user-related question concerning desktop manager.. ubuntu/kubuntu ? | |
| === thult is now known as Jaws | |
| [02:12] <Jaws> mean about reliability | |
| [02:13] <dennis_p> ubuntu is better because more time has been spend on it | |
| [02:13] <dennis_p> but i prefer kubuntu | |
| [02:14] <dennis_p> there are no reliabilty issues with kubuntu just some thing don work as well as is possible on KDE | |
| [02:14] <CZ-18> personally, i find KDE far easier to use | |
| [02:15] <NickPresta> dennis_p, I would say things work just as well, just differently (and perhaps not as verbose) | |
| [02:15] <CZ-18> a lot of the custom ubuntu stuff is focused more on GNOME | |
| [02:15] <CZ-18> but in general, KDE is easier | |
| [02:15] <CZ-18> at least for me | |
| [02:16] <Jaws> more support for kde methinks | |
| [02:16] <Jaws> guess afterall this all is just a matter of taste.. | |
| [02:17] <Jaws> have found kde more stable imo. | |
| [02:17] <Jaws> using 8.04 | |
| [02:18] <dennis_p> thatś nice to hear | |
| [02:19] <dennis_p> the ś is kubuntu´s fault of course :-) | |

| [02:22] <dennis_p> is that terminal window still running or has it been quit? | |
| [02:22] <intelikey> either it returns the process identifier of the named process or it returns empty string. the empty string means that apt-get is not running. | |

| [03:22] <intelikey> !ff3 | |
| [03:22] <ubottu> Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. | |
| [03:22] <intelikey> i thought there was an infonode... | |
| [03:22] * intelikey lost it. | |
| [03:23] <word> stdin: sorry for the slow reply..i do have hardy-updates enabled...and firefox 'says' it's 3.0 but the package version doesn't...so i don't know if when it was in beta it said it was 3.0 too :-/ | |
| [03:23] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker what's it doing now ? | |
| [03:24] <stdin> word: "apt-cache policy firefox" shows "3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1" | |
| [03:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> removing stuff | |
| [03:24] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker ok. when it's done give me a beep | |
| [03:25] <darwin> what's a broken pipe? | |
| [03:26] <word> stdin: so does mine o.O then why does apt-cache show firefox show b5? o.O | |
| [03:26] <intelikey> darwin means data was sent somewhere that doesn't exist. | |
| [03:27] <darwin> \w intelikey Thanks, | |
| [03:27] <stdin> word: apt-cache show can show more that one version of a package if there are multiple version in different "pockets" or repos | |
| [03:28] <stdin> make sure you look through all the output, for me the ~b5 version is at the bottom of the output | |
| [03:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> intelikey i alsoneed your help, i had mounted the partition bt now if i go to system and click on the windows paritition it says it cant be mounted or something | |
| [03:29] <word> stdin: oh! lol didn't realize it showed more than one, my terminal is at just the right size to only show one ;p | |
| [03:29] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker better to stay out of your other systems while you are upgrading. | |
| [03:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok | |
| [03:30] <stdin> word: that's why I always pipe it through less | |
| [03:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> im on xubuntu currently | |
| [03:30] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker unless you like living on the bleeding edge of danger then why not run something like fsck on the root fs while upgrading.... :))) | |
| [03:30] <word> stdin: good idea ;p | |
| [03:31] <intelikey> and if that's geek to you. don't worry about it. | |
| [03:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> fsck? | |
| [03:31] <intelikey> file system check | |

| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> it all froze | |

| [03:50] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker yuch. and ? | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> and it started on the tty1 screen sked me for my login and password and then prompt | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> not knowing what to i rebooted in windows | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> what do i do? | |
| [03:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i load the gui_ | |
| [03:51] <darwin> startx will usually load the gui | |
| [03:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> what would the command be? | |
| [03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo startx ? | |
| [03:52] <intelikey> in that login sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # and let it finish. if it doesn't error out. you can then, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | |
| [03:52] <darwin> don't need the sudo | |
| [03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> wait.... | |
| [03:52] <intelikey> i'm thinking you don't have x now. but try what i said ^ it should work for you. | |
| [03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> this didn't erase my *buntus did it_ | |
| [03:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> intelikey: what? | |
| [03:53] <intelikey> not the base system. no. the desktop envs probably. and NO you do not "sudo startx" | |
| [03:53] <intelikey> write down the commands ^ | |
| [03:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i get xubuntu desktop and then xubuntu desktop again? | |
| [03:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok | |
| [03:53] <intelikey> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [03:53] <intelikey> and | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> sorry. | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> might add -f to that last one even. | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> sudo apt-get install -f xubuntu-desktop | |
| [03:54] <intelikey> for safty sake. | |
| [03:55] <intelikey> but the first has to complete without error, that's what hugh you up the first round. | |
| [03:55] <intelikey> hung | |
| [03:55] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker so these two lines you got them ? | |
| [03:56] <intelikey> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [03:56] <intelikey> sudo apt-get install -f xubuntu-desktop | |
| [03:56] * intelikey thinks people should remember how much trouble it is to upgrade and only upgrade when "needed" | |
| [03:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes but wait | |
| [03:57] <intelikey> ok | |
| [03:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> kubuntu first? | |
| [03:57] <intelikey> doesn't matter | |
| [03:57] <intelikey> any order | |
| [03:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> both though | |
| [03:57] <intelikey> if you want | |
| [03:57] <intelikey> but first make sure the upgrade completes without error | |
| [03:58] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok | |
| [03:58] <CostaRicanQuaker> brb | |
| [03:58] <intelikey> we hope. | |
| [03:58] <darwin> intelikey or anyone, could you give me a hand with something, in the process of installing and uninstalling kde4 I've messed up my init or something I don't boot to x, and x doesn't have shutdown it has logout | |
| [03:59] <intelikey> darwin sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | |

| [04:00] <intelikey> darwin i'm noobish too | |
| [04:00] <darwin> ok... so a reboot should now get me the kdm at startup? | |
| [04:00] <intelikey> no. | |
| [04:00] <intelikey> don't reboot for something like that | |
| [04:01] <intelikey> are you inside of x now ? | |

| [04:12] <mr---t-> no | |
| [04:12] <intelikey> hmmm ok. | |
| [04:12] <darwin> hi again | |
| [04:12] <intelikey> darwin | |
| [04:14] <darwin> everything's cool it worked, just came to hang out | |
| [04:14] <intelikey> hIlf what happened to the other nick se7en ? | |
| [04:14] <intelikey> darwin kewl | |
| [04:15] <intelikey> heh we use kde everything starts with k not c :))) kool | |
| [04:15] <darwin> LOL | |
| [04:16] <darwin> that's honestly the only thing about kde I hate | |
| [04:16] <hIlf> intelikey: still in use just confuses me a bit in irssi if you stay in multible # ... have to write ups sorry for pasting in the wrong # all the time :) | |
| [04:16] <intelikey> ((: | |
| [04:17] <intelikey> hIlf i C++ , err no i don't C++ but i stand under you. | |
| [04:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok it said thats not a valid command | |
| [04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo config-- etc | |
| [04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> what do i do | |
| [04:18] <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker <intelikey> CostaRicanQuaker wait | |
| [04:18] <intelikey> <intelikey> i didn't put a space in there. | |
| [04:18] <intelikey> <intelikey> sudo dpkg --configure -a | |
| [04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok so its | |
| [04:18] <hIlf> intelikey: ?? | |
| [04:18] <intelikey> you jumped out too quick to catch that. sorry. | |
| [04:19] <intelikey> hIlf just saying i "under stand" | |
| [04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo space dpkg space --configure space -a | |
| [04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok i will be right back | |
| [04:19] <hIlf> :) | |
| [04:21] <intelikey> i hate that the guy has to keep rebooting to talk to us. i should introduce him to console networking but the learning curve is already to steep, just trying to enter a single line command... he'll catch on though. | |
| [04:22] <intelikey> understand is a strange word in it's own right. | |
| [04:23] <intelikey> if you tell someone that you "understand" them you are litterly saying that they are over your head.... | |
| [04:23] <intelikey> kind of oximoronic i think | |
| [04:24] <tweak> hey...i'm kinda new to kubuntu...but i was wonderin if ne1 could help me with somethin | |
| [04:24] <intelikey> an knee one might. | |
| [04:24] <intelikey> !ask | |
| [04:24] <ubottu> 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. :-) | |
| [04:24] <tweak> i'm tryin to use ifconfig and iwconfig and it tells me that its not installed, but when i try to install, it tells me that its already installed | |
| [04:25] * mr---t- scratches head | |
| [04:25] <intelikey> which ifconfig ;which iwconfig | |
| [04:25] <intelikey> tweak ^ command line | |
| [04:25] <tweak> yeah | |
| [04:26] <intelikey> yeah enter that | |
| [04:26] <intelikey> which ifconfig ;which iwconfig | |
| [04:26] <intelikey> and it says ???? | |
| [04:26] <tweak> he program 'ifconfig' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | |
| [04:26] <tweak> sudo apt-get install net-tools | |
| [04:26] <tweak> -su: ifconfig: command not found | |
| [04:26] <tweak> tweak@tweak-laptop:~$ | |
| [04:27] <tweak> then it tells me that the newest version is already installed when i try to install it | |
| [04:27] <intelikey> which doesn't tell you all that. please enter the command and lets see the output | |
| [04:28] <intelikey> which ifconfig ;which iwconfig <<<< that command | |
| [04:29] <tweak> when i type that in all it does is go to another prompt | |
| [04:29] <tweak> lol | |
| [04:29] <intelikey> ok | |
| [04:29] <intelikey> thats what i'm asking. | |
| [04:29] <nowshining> add a space after the ";" part before you put the iwconfig | |
| [04:29] <intelikey> nowshining not needed | |
| [04:29] <intelikey> tweak try sudo /usr/sbin/ifconfig --version | |
| [04:31] <intelikey> tweak looks like a PATH issue you don't have /usr/sbin in your path. confirm with the command; echo $PATH | grep '/usr/sbin' | |
| [04:31] <tweak> it tells me that the command not found | |
| [04:31] <intelikey> tweak hold that last thought | |
| [04:31] <tweak> kk | |
| [04:31] <intelikey> sudo apt-get install -f | |

| [04:37] <intelikey> sudo apt-get install --reinstall net-tools <<< that is this with out the force- >>> sudo apt-get install --force-reinstall net-tools | |
| [04:37] <intelikey> see i didn't take out the -- not the reinstall just the "force-" that was between them | |

| [04:45] <intelikey> kumamoto what in particular are you having trouble with ? | |
| [04:45] <punzada> hey any suggestions on being able to tweak or overall make gtk apps in kde4 look a little 'nicer,' maybe adjust font sizes and such? | |

| [04:47] <tweak> kk..lol, should i try to just reinstall kubuntu in the meantime | |
| [04:48] <tweak> a different v. ? | |
| [04:48] <intelikey> you can see the version in several ways one of which would be ls /var/cache/apt/pacakages/net-tools* | |
| [04:48] <intelikey> that will show the one you just installed | |
| [04:49] <kumamoto> after install kdmthemes and trying to switch over from the ugly oem it doesn't | |
| [04:49] <intelikey> and any other versions that you may have at one time installed if they are still in the cache and yes i sujest another version in the mean time | |
| [04:49] <intelikey> it doesn't ? | |
| [04:49] <kumamoto> tried to edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc but nothing seem to work at all | |
| [04:50] <tweak> lol...well, this is my first time using nething other than windows...and its saying that the file doesnt exist either | |
| [04:50] <kumamoto> Usetheme=/usr/share/apps/kde/kdm/themes/ nada | |

| [05:03] <intelikey> mr---t- one run of "sudo apt-get clean" and everything in the package cache dir is purged from the system. cron may be setup to run that every few days... | |

| [05:21] <mr---t-> a real "bug" right? | |
| [05:21] <intelikey> yeah | |
| [05:21] <intelikey> insect | |
| [05:21] <mr---t-> weeeee | |
| [05:22] <intelikey> :) | |
| [05:22] <mr---t-> whats the crying face | |
| === nick77 is now known as perome | |
| [05:22] <perome> can i mount an entire disk image in linux? | |
| [05:22] <intelikey> ? | |
| [05:22] <intelikey> perome you can only mount file systems as far as i know | |
| [05:23] <perome> can i mount an entire disk image in linux? i made a dd if=/dev/sdc image............ and now i want to mount it locally | |
| [05:23] <intelikey> perome if you can read the offsets you can mount an fs from a disk image tho | |
| [05:23] <perome> how 2 guess the offsets? | |
| [05:24] <intelikey> perome not guess, read. fdisk -l image | |
| [05:24] <perome> lol | |
| [05:24] <mr---t-> :'( wow the face translator works backwards too | |
| [05:24] <perome> wow that is leet.................. intelikey,,,,,,,,,, | |
| [05:24] <intelikey> mr---t- lol | |
| [05:25] <intelikey> perome me ? L337 not! | |
| [05:25] <perome> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | |
| [05:25] <perome> dellimage.img1 1 5 40131 de Dell Utility | |
| [05:25] <perome> dellimage.img2 * 6 1540 12329887+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | |
| [05:25] <perome> very nice | |
| [05:25] <perome> how how 2 calculate the offsets? | |
| [05:26] <intelikey> google is more equiped to answer that than i am | |
| [05:26] <perome> k thanks very much though intelikey | |
| [05:26] <intelikey> it has to do with the sector size and the count tho | |
| [05:26] <intelikey> perome welcome | |
| [05:26] <perome> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders | |
| [05:26] <perome> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes | |
| [05:27] <intelikey> so 512 is the size and the count for img1 is 5 - 40131 | |
| [05:27] <intelikey> if i read it correctly. but google should have examples. | |
| [05:29] <omega-xi> Is this Kubuntu's support channel? | |
| [05:29] <intelikey> i've never actually done that, i just understand the basic mechanics of it. | |
| [05:29] <intelikey> omega-xi yes it is | |
| [05:29] <intelikey> !ask | |
| [05:29] <ubottu> 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. :-) | |

| [05:30] <ubottu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | |
| [05:30] <intelikey> and welcome omega-xi | |
| [05:30] <intelikey> !welcome | |
| [05:30] <ubottu> Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | |
| [05:30] <omega-xi> Thanks ^^' | |
| === _roconnor is now known as roconnor | |
| [05:31] <intelikey> tweeK wb | |
| [05:33] <[Relic]> Hello :) | |
| [05:34] <omega-xi> ok, I had a fairly barebones ubuntu install (I had to install over PXE) so I then installed the kubuntu-desktop package, however my /home is mounted to a partition from a previous install of another distribution. When I log in from kdm I get a small dialog that says "Call to Inusertemp failed" any ideas on what I may have done wrong ^^; | |
| [05:35] <intelikey> own your home | |
| [05:35] <intelikey> sudo chown $USER -R $HOME | |
| [05:35] <intelikey> then try it. | |
| [05:36] <omega-xi> Thanks ^_^ | |
| [05:37] <omega-xi> I really should have thought of that :$ | |
| [05:39] <intelikey> ownership / permissions / paths / then look for bugs... concise trouble shooting format | |
| [05:40] <omega-xi> I checked permissions and forgot all about ownership | |
| [05:40] <intelikey> bugs in that context includes misconfigured through rc files as well | |
| [05:40] <apparle> I installed kubuntu remix, why doesn't it have amarok,kaffiene,k3b | |
| [05:40] <intelikey> kind of a roll your own bug theory | |
| [05:41] <intelikey> apparle i have no clue. i din't mix it. you can install them though | |
| [05:42] <intelikey> omega-xi then you started at step 2 in that formula and ended with step 5 "check on irc" | |
| [05:42] <apparle> intelikey: I mean to say I installed Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 version | |
| [05:42] <intelikey> oh. | |
| [05:42] <intelikey> !kde4 | apparle ask in the other channel | |
| [05:42] <ubottu> apparle ask in the other channel: KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | |
| [05:43] <intelikey> they might have a better answer for you ^ | |
| [05:43] <omega-xi> intelikey: True, sometimes it is just quicker to ask folks with more experience though, google wasn't being too helpfull either | |
| [05:44] <intelikey> omega-xi heh yeah. i always start with step 5 and work my way back anway :)) | |
| [05:45] <intelikey> problem is. 90% of my questions in here go unanswered until i answer them.... ;/ | |
| [05:46] <intelikey> at one time i was bating a thousand on that, but i've asked some really hair brained Q's lately and it's brought my avarage down | |
| [05:46] <mr---t-> /me but does your hat still fit? | |
| [05:46] <intelikey> /me checks... | |
| [05:46] <intelikey> :) | |
| [05:47] <mr---t-> :-) | |
| [05:47] <intelikey> idk. i don't ware a hat... | |
| [05:47] <mr---t-> is ware geek for wear? | |
| [05:47] <intelikey> if you are asking if pride has swallowed me up completly no. but it does have a tight hold | |
| [05:48] <intelikey> no it's intelikey'ish | |
| [05:48] <mr---t-> lol | |
| [05:48] <intelikey> did i mention that i didn't finish school cause i couldn't spell my name | |
| [05:49] <omega-xi> it seems a little more laid back in here than I've seen in some support channels, which is good ^+^ | |
| [05:49] <mr---t-> I rode the special bus... | |
| [05:49] * intelikey sat by mr---t- on the short bus... | |
| [05:50] <mr---t-> omega-xi: no it's just late | |
| [05:50] <intelikey> omega-xi when it's not busy it's usually pretty lax, but when it does get busy, and it does at times. then we try to be professional violenteers | |
| [05:50] <minhaaj> how do you install .bin files ? | |
| [05:50] <minhaaj> is there a package installer like dkpg ? | |
| [05:50] <intelikey> minhaaj bash file.bin | |
| [05:51] <minhaaj> in console ? | |
| [05:51] <intelikey> yeah | |
| [05:51] <intelikey> konsole probably | |
| [05:51] <minhaaj> cd .desktop before ? | |
| [05:52] <minhaaj> how do you change directories ? | |
| [05:52] <intelikey> minhaaj do you know what a linux console is ? or was that a referance to the terminal emulator "konsole" ? and doesn't matter. relative path is fine. | |
| [05:52] <intelikey> cd | |
| [05:52] <minhaaj> heh | |
| [05:52] <minhaaj> i KNOW what linux konsole is sir | |
| [05:52] <minhaaj> ok then it won't work without it | |

| [05:52] <intelikey> ok. well konsole != console | |
| [05:52] <minhaaj> i know | |

| [05:52] <minhaaj> this command won't run | |
| [05:53] <intelikey> ues tab completion | |
| [05:53] <intelikey> !tab | |
| [05:53] <ubottu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | |
| [05:53] <minhaaj> won't work | |
| [05:53] <minhaaj> file is on desktop | |
| [05:53] <minhaaj> but it won't detect it | |
| [05:53] <minhaaj> shall i make it executable ? | |
| [05:53] <intelikey> minhaaj yes it will. case sensitive. | |
| [05:54] <intelikey> minhaaj bash Desktop/blah.bin | |
| [05:54] <minhaaj> ok let me try | |
| [05:54] <intelikey> or as you asked ^ up there cd Desktop | |
| [05:54] <minhaaj> GoogleEarthLinux | |
| [05:55] <minhaaj> no such file | |
| [05:55] <intelikey> .bin ? | |
| [05:55] <intelikey> tab completion.... | |
| [05:55] <minhaaj> ok done | |
| [05:55] <minhaaj> thanks | |
| [05:55] <intelikey> :) | |
| [05:55] <intelikey> welcome | |
| [05:57] <minhaaj> i shouldnt have installed bin | |
| [05:57] <intelikey> !googleearth | |
| [05:57] <ubottu> Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository | |
| [05:57] <minhaaj> i think google earth could update it self by sudo apt-get update | |
| [05:57] <minhaaj> wouldnt that have worked ? | |
| [05:57] <intelikey> !Medibuntu | |
| [05:57] <ubottu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | |
| [05:57] <minhaaj> its installed | |
| [05:58] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [05:58] <intelikey> minhaaj just answering your other Q ^ | |
| [05:58] <minhaaj> which one ? | |
| [05:58] <intelikey> <minhaaj> i think google earth could update it self by sudo apt-get update <minhaaj> wouldnt that have worked ? | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> ahh | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> ok :) i have no idea if it would have | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> but its good i learned how to run .bin files | |
| [05:59] <intelikey> it is in the repos if you enable the medibuntu repo | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> yea but its the old version | |
| [05:59] <minhaaj> i had to update it | |
| [05:59] <intelikey> well the the short answer to your Q there is no. | |
| [06:00] <intelikey> anything else ? | |
| [06:01] <dsmith_> hello, where can I get a clean rebuild of sources.list? | |
| [06:01] <minhaaj> yp:) | |
| [06:01] <minhaaj> intelikey: one thing more | |
| [06:03] <mr---t-> yp:) | |
| [06:03] <intelikey> if "CostaRicanQuaker" comes back in. here's his problem as i know it. he has dapper installed, is in the process of upgrading to hardy, last seen working from a console with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop" check his progress and help him if you can. he is completly green and can't fresh/clean install so he needs help. | |
| [06:03] <intelikey> dsmith_ what version ? | |
| [06:03] <intelikey> hardy ? | |
| [06:03] <dsmith_> 7.10 | |

| [06:04] <dsmith_> trying to upgrade to 8.04 and its tossing an error | |
| [06:04] <dsmith_> yea | |

| [06:06] <dsmith_> its working now | |
| [06:06] <dsmith_> thanks | |
| [06:06] <dsmith_> I could not find anything online... | |
| [06:06] <intelikey> you might leave off backports it sometimes cause odd things | |
| [06:06] <dsmith_> thats what I had enabled | |
| [06:07] <dsmith_> oops let me edit that | |
| [06:07] <intelikey> but it sometimes breaks upgrades. so ... | |
| [06:07] <intelikey> depending on what you have installed from backports actually. | |
| [06:07] <Fleck> hey, can't descide - 32bit or 64bit kubuntu ;) anyone? | |
| [06:08] <Fleck> ok never mind ;) reading FAQ... | |
| [06:08] <intelikey> Fleck 32 is still more supported 64 is getting better though. if you are a developer definitely 64 else 32 might be safer if you are kinda noobish | |
| [06:08] <Fleck> hmm | |
| [06:09] <dsmith_> <--- still noobish | |
| [06:09] <dsmith_> :P | |
| [06:09] <Fleck> :P | |
| [06:09] <intelikey> <--<| complete newb | |
| [06:09] <dsmith_> lies.. | |

| [06:10] <dsmith_> didn't know that? | |
| [06:10] <matthew_> lol | |
| [06:11] <Fleck> intelikey ok, macromedia flash still no 64bit version? have to use plugin wrapper? | |
| [06:11] <intelikey> Fleck or ia32libs ? | |
| [06:11] <Fleck> yep | |
| [06:11] <intelikey> they are dooing a lot with that now days | |
| [06:11] <Fleck> ok | |
| [06:12] <intelikey> dooing heh | |
| [06:12] <dsmith_> downloading from MIT servers seem quicker | |
| [06:13] <intelikey> Fleck why don't you spend some time in here helping the real n''bs we could use experanced folks. | |
| [06:13] <Fleck> dunno | |
| [06:13] <Fleck> don't have much time to talk... | |
| [06:13] <Fleck> :( | |
| [06:13] <intelikey> understand | |
| [06:14] * tom__ finally manageed to install vmware server but it won't boot | |
| [06:14] <tom__> when i start a virtual machine, i get the blank screen and then it stops, before it even starts the POST | |
| [06:14] <intelikey> see tom is one step out of my reach ^ i have never played with vmware | |
| [06:14] <tom__> any ideas ? | |
| [06:15] <tom__> using kubuntu 8.04 with latest updates | |
| [06:15] <Fleck> tom__ modules missing? | |
| [06:16] <tom__> like what? where can i find info about that? | |
| [06:16] <dsmith_> thx intelikey, upgrading now | |
| [06:16] <intelikey> dsmith_ welcome. | |
| [06:16] <dsmith_> vmware is rock solid | |
| [06:17] <dsmith_> did you run the compiler? | |
| [06:17] <dsmith_> from the shell script? | |
| [06:17] <tom__> i've downloaded the .tar.gz, ran install, updated with any-any-116 and then configured | |
| [06:17] <Fleck> intelikey hardy or KDE4 Remix? :) | |
| [06:17] <dsmith_> hmmmmmmmm | |
| [06:18] <intelikey> dsmith_ btw i generated that with a command "sed 's/dapper/gutsy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebin " # pastebin being a script i wrote that put in on the web for you. | |
| [06:18] <tom__> (with any-any-117 wouldn't compile) | |
| [06:18] <dsmith_> intelikey: thats just too l33t... :) | |
| [06:18] <intelikey> Fleck most people like kde4 but find it "incomplete" i is missing some things that arent developed yet. | |
| [06:18] <dsmith_> kde4 seems ok, but I agree 'incomplete' | |
| [06:19] <intelikey> Fleck i'm a stability oriented kind i'd say hardy | |
| [06:19] <Fleck> ok can i install kde3 normaly on KDE4 remix ? | |
| [06:19] <tom__> intelikey: probably what's "incomplete" are things there are in windows and missing from kde4 :P | |
| [06:19] <Fleck> ok | |
| [06:19] <intelikey> yes | |
| [06:19] <TurkSat> where is the process manager in kubuntu? | |
| [06:19] <dsmith_> ksysguard | |
| [06:19] <Fleck> TurkSat CTRL + ESC | |
| [06:20] <TurkSat> thanks | |
| [06:20] <dsmith_> well that too :P | |
| [06:20] <intelikey> tom__ no. part of the apps that people are used to in kde3* have not yet been coded for kde4 so they are "missing" in kde4 | |
| [06:20] <tom__> ah | |
| [06:20] <Fleck> intelikey and KDE4 on hardy is not a problem afaik | |
| [06:20] <intelikey> Fleck correct | |
| [06:20] <intelikey> !kde4 | |
| [06:20] <ubottu> KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | |
| [06:20] <Fleck> ok :) | |
| [06:20] <dsmith_> I just show of kde4 | |
| [06:20] <tom__> so any ideas about what i should do with vmware server? | |
| [06:21] <dsmith_> *off | |
| [06:21] <Fleck> tom__ try to run vmware in konsole and see output | |
| [06:21] <ghost_> i have a problem: my kicker has vanished from kdeinit | |
| [06:21] <dsmith_> tom__: I dont know... I never had one ounce of problems with it, I have run every OS imaginable on it | |
| [06:21] <Fleck> ghost_ ALT + F2 | |
| [06:21] <ghost_> can somebody help me? | |
| [06:21] <ghost_> i know | |
| [06:21] <Fleck> ALT + F1 shows Kmenu | |
| [06:22] <ghost_> but then i only have my kicker back for the session .. when i restart its gone again | |
| [06:22] <intelikey> tom__ is there a channel here for that ? #vmware ? if no one in here can answer you adaquitly ask in there or even in ##linux sometimes you get good help there. | |
| [06:22] <Fleck> ghost_ ohh it's set to autohide? :) | |
| [06:22] <ghost_> no | |
| [06:22] <dsmith_> vmware is active | |
| [06:22] <Fleck> hmm | |
| [06:23] <intelikey> ok fellows i'm went. | |
| [06:23] <ghost_> there is no kicker-prozess running | |
| [06:23] <intelikey> shalom ! | |
| [06:24] <ghost_> it seems not to be included in the kdeinit anymore | |
| [06:24] <tom__> whoah, i just started it and now it works! | |
| [06:25] <ghost_> when i start in manualy it only lasts for the actual session but dissapears in a new one | |
| [06:25] <ghost_> no matter how often i save the session | |
| [06:26] <tom__> sorry for bothering you, i have no idea why now it works, but it might have been because of the location of the .vmdk, i think last time i chose an ntfs mount | |
| [06:27] <Fleck> tom__ i have vmware virtual disk on ntfs - works great with ntfs-3g :) | |
| [06:28] <tom__> and microxp seems to run like instane on kubuntu | |
| [06:28] <tom__> it took me 7 minutes to install it under xp, only 3 in kubuntu | |
| [06:28] * tom__ off to work :D | |
| [06:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok i need helpbecause of the following | |
| [06:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> intelikey was helping me upgrade ubuntu from dapper to hardy | |
| [06:29] <CostaRicanQuaker> i had already done that as in had already done the upgrading thing and ti took like five hours to get allthepackages adne verything during that time i was sasleep i comeback and apparently it's still ubuntu dapper so there's a problem so intelikey tells me to type some commands i do then i reboot and guess waht? no GUI just ubuntu | |
| [06:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> telling me dpkg was interrupted must manually run dpkg --configure - a to correct the rpobem and then tells me its not a valid command | |
| [06:30] <Fleck> ghost_ http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-212648.html | |
| [06:30] <Fleck> try this | |
| [06:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'm on wiondows xp now | |
| [06:31] <Fleck> CostaRicanQuaker in konsole: sudo dpkg --configure -a | |
| [06:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> but i want my ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu back, with the windows partition mounted and upgraded to hardy | |
| [06:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> so how do i do it | |
| [06:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> no konsole, i cant boot up the gui it stays in tty1 | |
| [06:32] <Fleck> then login with your username and pass | |
| [06:32] <Fleck> then sudo dpkg... | |
| [06:32] <CostaRicanQuaker> and when i did that and typed that command | |
| [06:32] <ghost_> Flex thx | |

| [06:40] <[Relic]> is there any possible way to get a logical partition to be available for non-root on startup? | |
| [06:41] <holymoly> CostaRicanQuaker: if a dist upgrade fails, sometimes a quick plain reinstall is faster | |
| [06:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> all i want to do is have ubuntu GUI run, have kde xfce there if i want to login in them and have my partitions mounted so i can access my windows files | |
| [06:41] <holymoly> just make sure you have /home backed up | |
| [06:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok here's the deal holymoly | |
| [06:41] <holymoly> everything else can go | |
| [06:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> plain reinstall means using the old breezy 5.10 ubuntu cd | |
| [06:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> and then upgrade to dapper | |
| [06:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> and then get kubuntu | |
| [06:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> and xubuntu | |
| [06:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> again | |
| [06:42] <holymoly> why? | |
| [06:42] <holymoly> can't burn off a hardy cd? | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> as i don't have anymore cdrs from burning a livecd for kubuntu that didnt work an alternate cd for kubuntu that didnt work a livecd for xubuntu that didnt work | |
| [06:43] <holymoly> and why go kubuntu to xubuntu? | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> an alternate cd for xubuntu that didnt work | |
| [06:43] <holymoly> you can just install the alternate cd, install minimal then install xubuntu parts | |
| [06:43] <holymoly> you don't need alternate for xubuntu | |
| [06:43] <holymoly> just alternate | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> no | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> i ried all of those | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> all had errors | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> even when i downloaded from torrent | |
| [06:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i dont trust that anymore and i ran out of disks | |
| [06:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> only the canonical old breezy cd | |
| [06:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> 5.10 | |
| [06:44] <holymoly> what had errors, the cd or th einstall? | |
| [06:44] <holymoly> you checksummed the image, yes? | |
| [06:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> the cd's wouldn't installed...computer would get stuck with every programme i tried to check the hashes with | |
| [06:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> anyway | |
| [06:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> I ALREADY HAVE UBUNTU | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> it's loading, grub loads it | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> i just dont know what commands to enter for the GUI to load | |
| [06:45] <apparle> what's the verson after hardy 8.04 something from 'i' | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> i dont even know if it upgraded to hardy | |
| [06:45] <mr---t-> apparle: ibex | |
| [06:45] <holymoly> so you have a command line? yes? | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes | |
| [06:45] <kumamoto> has kubuntu fixed the ipod amarok issue? | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> it asks me for my password and login yes | |
| [06:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> it does load | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> but i needto load the GUI | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> gnome | |
| [06:46] <dsmith_> X doesn't load? | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> no, i tried startx | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> gave me some error | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> that is i typed startx at the prompt and enter | |
| [06:46] <dsmith_> xorg.conf misconfigured? | |
| [06:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> so what do i do to load the gui? | |
| [06:47] <dsmith_> if your at the command line and rrun startx | |
| [06:47] <dsmith_> it should spit out an error | |
| [06:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> i dont know, if you look at the log you'll see the commands intelikey told me to enter in konsole, some of them were removing erroneous packages i think from not upgrading well from dapper to hardy | |
| [06:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes it spat out an error | |
| [06:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> !log | |
| [06:47] <ubottu> Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | |
| [06:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> look up there a couple of hours ago | |
| [06:48] <dsmith_> i was on at 1am | |
| [06:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> i have been using linux 48 hours | |
| [06:48] <dsmith_> I missed that | |
| [06:48] <dsmith_> welcome ! | |
| [06:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> no imean...this is ludicrous...everything was going well | |
| [06:49] <CostaRicanQuaker> but it hsoudl be there on the log the commands intelikey asked to paste | |
| [06:49] <dsmith_> what ahppened? | |
| [06:49] <CostaRicanQuaker> and wahtever caused this | |
| [06:49] <dsmith_> well patience friend, I have had two major system issues with this machine | |
| [06:49] <dsmith_> but thats was from my fault | |
| [06:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> patience? | |
| [06:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'm not going anywhere | |
| [06:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> but i need to fix this | |
| [06:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> so how do i promt the gui form the command line | |
| [06:53] <holymoly> okay so i'm not going to bother to look through the irc logs ... some questions | |
| [06:53] <holymoly> you have command line, you can log in. great | |
| [06:53] <holymoly> are you on hardy yet? | |
| [06:54] <dsmith_> CostaRicanQuaker: uname -r | |
| [06:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> i dont know, the whole point was to upgrade from dapper to hardy i did what had to be done apparently, and it took hours i went ot bed and hten i came back then intelikey was helping me check apparently i was still on dapper so he helped me with some commands and then this happened | |
| [06:55] <holymoly> do what dsmith said | |
| [06:55] <holymoly> lets see what kernel you have | |
| [06:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i do that? | |
| [06:56] <dsmith_> type : uname -r | |
| [06:56] <dsmith_> CostaRicanQuaker: did you make a backup before you upgraded? | |
| [06:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo uname -r ? | |
| [06:56] <holymoly> dude c'mon | |
| [06:56] <dsmith_> no need for sudo | |
| [06:56] <holymoly> don't think so far ahead | |
| [06:56] <dsmith_> lol | |
| [06:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> ijust type uname -r ? | |
| [06:56] <holymoly> its simple, just listen to what we say and do it | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> yes for f's sake | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> c'mon already | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> lol | |
| [06:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok it'll ask me for my login password and i enter that ok | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> yes you haveto log in | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> right | |
| [06:57] <dsmith_> not with that cmd it won't | |
| [06:57] <CostaRicanQuaker> here's the direct link to the log so you can see what commands were used i'll brb http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/07/03/%23kubuntu.html | |
| [06:57] <dsmith_> so long as your already logeged in | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> lol | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> man people like that make me angry | |
| [06:57] <holymoly> i want to throw fuckin vista cd's at them | |
| [06:58] <dsmith_> LMFAO | |
| [06:58] <dsmith_> hahhaah | |
| [06:58] <stdin> holymoly: 1) watch the attitude, 2) watch the language | |
| [06:58] <holymoly> k, k | |
| [06:58] <dsmith_> kinda makes you wonder.. | |
| [06:58] <dsmith_> *shrug* | |
| [06:59] <holymoly> what gets me is when the simplest requests simply get ignored | |
| [06:59] <holymoly> i understand the frustration | |
| [06:59] <holymoly> but we are spending our good will and time to help | |
| [06:59] <dsmith_> doom on him, next | |
| [07:00] <stdin> dsmith_: that's not a good attitude here either | |
| [07:00] <stdin> it's up to you if you want to help, but don't be derogatory | |
| [07:00] <holymoly> stdin: thats not exactly a fair statement | |
| [07:01] <holymoly> why must the WILLING and HELPFULL bear the burden of the UNWILLING and WILLFULLY ignorant? | |
| [07:01] <holymoly> the sword cuts both ways | |
| [07:01] <dsmith_> ok, I take that back... | |
| [07:01] <stdin> as I said, it's up to you _if_ you want to help | |
| [07:01] <dsmith_> no doom on him, I wish him the best | |
| [07:01] <holymoly> especially under circumstances where the willing and helpfull have clearly laid out the unbiased and non discriminatory carpet | |
| [07:01] <stdin> I did not say "you mush help and be nice always and forever" | |
| [07:01] <holymoly> maybe you think you didn't | |
| [07:01] <holymoly> i'm simply pointing out the obvious | |
| [07:02] * dsmith_ brain is mush... after that episode.. | |
| [07:02] <stdin> I don't think I didn't, I know I did not, I can read my own backlog | |
| [07:02] <holymoly> regardless i understand its pointless as really its not your place to listen | |
| [07:02] <holymoly> well you can take that position thats fine | |
| [07:02] <holymoly> the implication of your statement is the same regardless | |
| [07:03] <dsmith_> I am fair and objective and willing to bend over backweards to help, but I have my limits | |
| [07:04] <stdin> if you don't feel you can be respectful when helping, then don't help | |
| [07:05] <CostaRicanQuaker> it said 2.6.15-52-386 | |
| [07:05] <dsmith_> thast hardy? | |
| [07:06] <holymoly> i don't think so | |
| [07:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> i think thats dapper | |
| [07:06] <holymoly> sounds right | |
| [07:06] <holymoly> so you want gui on dapper, yes? | |
| [07:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes | |
| [07:07] <CostaRicanQuaker> remember the option to log in session as either gnome kde or xfce was there already | |
| [07:07] <holymoly> okay so when the system starts up you get the login manager, yes? | |
| [07:07] <holymoly> a login session, right? | |
| [07:07] <omega-xi> !!! | |
| [07:07] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes | |
| [07:08] <holymoly> not a black screen that lets you log in, a graphical log in session? | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> oh no i get a black screen | |
| [07:08] <omega-xi> (sorry wrong channel ^^;) | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> that lets me login | |
| [07:08] <holymoly> then you don't have a login manager | |
| [07:08] <holymoly> you just have a terminal | |
| [07:08] <holymoly> in which case thats cool | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> it boots up and the kubuntu blue letters show up | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> with the bar that loads blue | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> then that shows up | |
| [07:08] <holymoly> all right post your sources.list file somewhere so we can see what repos you are pulling from | |
| [07:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> black screen prompting me to write my login | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> wait say what? | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> oh okay do this | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> press ctrl / alt / del first | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> lets see if it goes back to the login manager | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> ohhhh yeah nm | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> thats just the bootsplash | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> that doesn't really mean much | |
| [07:09] <holymoly> you are still at your terminal | |
| [07:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> yeah | |
| [07:10] <holymoly> okay so you are logged in, are you able to post your sources.list file anywhere? | |
| [07:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i type control alt delete | |
| [07:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> how? | |
| [07:10] <holymoly> nothign should happen | |
| [07:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo /etc/apt/sources.list ? | |
| [07:10] <holymoly> are you able to post your sources.list file anywhere? | |
| [07:10] <holymoly> do you have access to that file from another machine maybe? no? | |
| [07:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> are you asking me if i can open up the file with the sources list from the terminal? | |
| [07:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> nope | |
| [07:11] <holymoly> no, i'm asking you if you can post the contents on sources.list | |
| [07:11] <holymoly> however | |
| [07:11] <CostaRicanQuaker> nope | |
| [07:11] <holymoly> since you don't know how to open it you obviously can't post it anyway | |
| === tom_ is now known as Magg0T | |
| [07:11] <holymoly> in any case just do nano /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [07:11] <holymoly> post like one or two lines in here | |
| [07:12] <holymoly> but no more | |
| [07:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok brb | |
| [07:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok first line | |
| [07:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> deb htpp... hardy main restricted multiverse universe | |
| [07:19] <holymoly> k | |
| [07:20] <CostaRicanQuaker> scond line dep http...security main restricted | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> okay good enough | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> so | |
| [07:20] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> basically your a bit screwed i guess ... | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> you have a failed dist-upgrade | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> and getting out of that gracefully is hard | |
| [07:20] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> you probably have a rather large number of mixed old and new libraries | |
| [07:20] <holymoly> and so getting say kdm with kde running will be difficult | |
| [07:21] <holymoly> so before we do anything | |
| [07:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> brb i gotta open the door | |
| [07:21] <holymoly> you probably already tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, yes? | |
| [07:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes | |
| [07:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> didnt work | |
| [07:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> back* | |
| [07:24] <holymoly> okay so are you able to do anything without leaving here? | |
| [07:24] <holymoly> on the ubuntu install i mean | |
| [07:24] <holymoly> sounds like you have a dual boot system and are on windows | |
| [07:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> nope | |
| [07:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> ys | |
| [07:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes, ia m | |
| [07:24] <holymoly> *hmm* | |
| [07:25] <holymoly> okay forgive me i will try not to annoy you but i haveto ask | |
| === azel is now known as Az99el | |
| [07:25] <dsffsf> hello | |
| [07:25] <holymoly> downloading hardy results in what? it checksums okay, it burns okay, but when you start the install process it fails? | |
| [07:25] * CostaRicanQuaker is very easily unnanoyed | |
| [07:25] <ol_dude67> hey got a question, just wondering if i need to ask here or java...but yahoo pool is hell..anyone know why? | |
| [07:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes, it says either | |
| [07:25] <holymoly> ol_dude67: url? | |
| [07:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> starting the base system | |
| [07:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> or downloading software | |
| [07:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> it stays around 6 percent or 25 depending on which | |
| [07:26] <holymoly> lets clarify that statement | |
| [07:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> for about 4-8 hours | |
| [07:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> and nothing happens | |
| [07:26] <dsffsf> Ok why o i have such fliping troble with any version of linux i tried | |
| [07:26] <holymoly> is that during the download that that particular error happens? | |
| [07:26] <ol_dude67> its yahoo pool...and java...just wondering if its just me or what... | |
| [07:26] <Az99el> helo | |
| [07:27] <holymoly> dsffsf: 99% of the time is not knowing just enough to really get it running | |
| [07:27] <holymoly> ol_dude67: well i can't tell, you got a url so we can test? | |
| [07:27] <dsffsf> im using fedora9 | |
| [07:27] <dsffsf> it sucks | |
| [07:27] <dsffsf> i have tied opensuse | |
| [07:27] <holymoly> dsffsf: well that goes without saying for anything redhat based on a desktop | |
| [07:27] <dsffsf> debian | |
| [07:27] <ol_dude67> switch to ubuntu | |
| [07:27] <holymoly> lol | |
| [07:27] <holymoly> :) i kid i kid | |
| [07:27] <Az99el> vous etes des extraterrestre | |
| [07:27] <dsffsf> and i have tried kubuntu | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> dsffsf: i can get all of those working without a problem on most hardware | |
| [07:28] <Az99el> vous parler pas pas normalement | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> its really trivial to be honest | |
| [07:28] <dsffsf> i have a rt2500 linksys card | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> CostaRicanQuaker: so when it says 6 percent ... you mean it just stopped downloading, yes? | |
| [07:28] <dsffsf> and it wont work in most distros | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> okay | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> get a new one | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> that does work | |
| [07:28] <holymoly> its sort of like food | |
| [07:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> during the download? | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> if you don't like the taste you don't insist on eating more of it | |
| [07:29] <ol_dude67> ok let me give a better example of the problem...first ...i can play pool but if i leave table java screws up and i have to start from scratch to get back to room | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> you order something you like | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> same process | |
| [07:29] <CostaRicanQuaker> when i install the cd | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> ol_dude67: how about a url? | |
| [07:29] <CostaRicanQuaker> it installs | |
| [07:29] <CostaRicanQuaker> and during the download or setting up the base system | |
| [07:29] <CostaRicanQuaker> it gets stuck | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> if i can actually look at it i can verify if at minimum happens here | |
| [07:29] <dsffsf> im dl the kubuntu amd64 dvd now | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> aha CostaRicanQuaker okay good more info | |
| [07:29] <holymoly> CostaRicanQuaker: yes i have seen that happen | |
| [07:30] <holymoly> CostaRicanQuaker: usually its a driver issue of some sort | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i thought | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> its the cdrw i'm using | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> lets buy some cdrs | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i did | |
| [07:30] <ol_dude67> http://games.yahoo.com/games/ante | |
| [07:30] <holymoly> right | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> every single cd i checked for errors | |
| [07:30] <ol_dude67> thats where im at | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> you know when it asks you what you want ot do install kubuntu check cd for errors etc | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> had errors | |
| [07:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> even the ones that i got from official torrents | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> so instead i looked in an old drawer | |
| [07:31] <holymoly> okay so cds have errors | |
| [07:31] <holymoly> aha | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i had some old canonical | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> 5.10 | |
| [07:31] <holymoly> yes cd errors will cause this problem too | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i ahd an old canonical 5.10 ubuntu cd | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i used that | |
| [07:31] <dsffsf> and has amd gotten on the ball with the drivers for linux yet | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i got kubuntu and then xubuntu | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i was happy as a kite | |
| [07:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> but then i needed hardy | |
| [07:32] <CostaRicanQuaker> so i got dapper first | |
| [07:32] <CostaRicanQuaker> that seemed fine | |
| [07:32] <CostaRicanQuaker> then this happened | |
| [07:32] <holymoly> yes right | |
| [07:32] <holymoly> okay so you are doing something kind of tricky in ubuntu | |
| [07:32] <holymoly> dist-upgrading is a 50/50 proposition | |
| [07:32] <CostaRicanQuaker> what does that mean? | |
| [07:32] <holymoly> they have a team that is supposed to test the upgrade process | |
| [07:33] <holymoly> but dist-upgrading sometimes works sometimes you get a hosed system like you ended up with | |
| [07:33] <holymoly> it works far better on debian, but debian has 2 year dev cycles while ubuntu has 6 month dev cycles | |
| [07:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> well | |
| [07:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> someone said | |
| [07:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> i should upgrade release by release | |
| [07:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> up to hardy | |
| [07:33] <dsffsf> wow | |
| [07:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> but i wanted to do it from dapper to hardy | |
| [07:34] <holymoly> CostaRicanQuaker: that works sure | |
| [07:34] <holymoly> its just that each jump is about 50/50 ... okay odds are probably wway better | |
| [07:34] <holymoly> however i do a lot of ubuntu related stuff ... we have hundreds of ubuntu desktops | |
| [07:34] <holymoly> lets just say we have given up on dist upgrades | |
| [07:34] <CostaRicanQuaker> then how do you upgrade? | |
| [07:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> wait 6 weeks for canonical to shipit? | |
| [07:35] <dsffsf> holymoly: you know ne thing about the amd drivers | |
| [07:35] <holymoly> what we do is create new images on hard drives, send out hds and just have a local tech replace the hds and boot the machine up | |
| [07:35] <holymoly> then we just push the users data back to them | |
| [07:35] <holymoly> it's just the price you pay for such an ambitious project with such short release cycles | |
| [07:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> i didn't get after send out hds | |
| [07:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> explain | |
| [07:35] <holymoly> we are just gratefull to be off of the ms upgrade cycle | |
| [07:36] <CostaRicanQuaker> i beseech | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> we can put up with this no problem its simple in comparison to dealing with ms crap | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> well ubuntu doesn't care what box its on | |
| [07:36] <dsffsf> heard | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> just install it on an hd | |
| [07:36] <CostaRicanQuaker> agreed | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> and plug it into any machine | |
| [07:36] <CostaRicanQuaker> aha | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> and it will start up 99.9 percent of the time | |
| [07:36] <holymoly> all our boxes are supported, we make sure we don't buy microsoft crap | |
| [07:37] <ol_dude67> CostaRicanQuaker, your better off going from a full install of the newest...dont start with old start with what is out... | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> so we just send out hd's and swap, its the only real way | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> so as ol_dude67said, you REALLY need to figure out a way to get a good hardy cd burned off | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> :/ | |
| [07:37] <dsffsf> yall heard ne thing about the amd video card drivers | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> nothign wrong with your way, its just the odds are against you it seems | |
| [07:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok here's the deal | |
| [07:37] <ol_dude67> ya amd is working hard to catch up... | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> dsffsf: yess sorry just busy | |
| [07:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> i have ordered 15 cds | |
| [07:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> from shipit | |
| [07:37] <holymoly> ol_dude67: so crazy pool 2? | |
| [07:38] <dsffsf> its cool holymoly | |
| [07:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> it will probably take months to get here | |
| [07:38] <ol_dude67> ya it wont let me leave a game... | |
| [07:38] <holymoly> ol_dude67: none of those games are java | |
| [07:38] <ol_dude67> with out a redo | |
| [07:38] <holymoly> ol_dude67: its flash | |
| [07:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> most likely it will be hardy right? | |
| [07:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> what i'm going to get | |
| [07:38] <ol_dude67> no pool is java based | |
| [07:38] <CostaRicanQuaker> so technically speaking | |
| [07:38] <holymoly> your url didn't bring up the game | |
| [07:38] <ol_dude67> hardy is probably it..if not ...do single upgrades. | |
| [07:38] <holymoly> he did | |
| [07:38] <holymoly> they didn't work | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> thats what i mean | |
| [07:39] <holymoly> lets actually try to read as we help fellas | |
| [07:39] <dsffsf> lolz | |
| [07:39] <ol_dude67> you have to go to yahoo an log in...its there way of doing things...i think its java based problems. | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok anyway | |
| [07:39] <ol_dude67> i asked in java..but no reply yet. | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> i will get hardy eventually | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> to upgrade to that | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> and then i can just wait till the next lst comes out | |
| [07:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> meanwhile | |
| [07:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> i gotta get ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu back | |
| [07:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> and have it all on dapper that is | |
| [07:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> dapper worked fine it was upgrading from dapper to hardy that messed things up | |
| [07:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> so how do i get back to that | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> i can't access the game so i can't test | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> sorry | |
| [07:41] <ol_dude67> i thought ubuntu had a back track? | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> back track what? | |
| [07:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> sure jumping several upgrades apart from dapper to hardy probably wasn't good but maybe i canupgrade one by one | |
| [07:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> so what do i do holymoly? | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> yeah thats far less risky | |
| [07:41] <ol_dude67> thats what you needed to do...to many upgrades in between | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> well try that if you can't wait for cd's | |
| [07:41] <holymoly> you don't have a choice really | |
| [07:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes but what do i do withmy hosed up system now? | |
| [07:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> to boot the GUI | |
| [07:42] <holymoly> nothing, its not really hosed | |
| [07:42] <holymoly> put the cd in and install | |
| [07:42] <holymoly> dapepr or whatever it is | |
| [07:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> what? | |
| [07:42] <holymoly> your windows will still be there | |
| [07:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok then, here's my question | |
| [07:42] <holymoly> and the installer should still recognize the windows partition and ask you about it | |
| [07:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> when i stick in the cd | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> k | |
| [07:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> i can write it over the existing | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> sure | |
| [07:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> ext3 partition right? | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> yep | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> just MAKE SURE you don't overwrite your windows partition | |
| [07:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> formatting allprevious data from the *buntus | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> you sound smart enough to know which is which | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> yes correct | |
| [07:43] * CostaRicanQuaker looks desperaely for the ubuntu cd | |
| [07:43] <holymoly> grub should find your windows partition and put an entry pointing to it as well | |
| [07:44] <dsffsf> yeah never had a problem with it not finding mine when i had windows | |
| [07:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok please don't leave i will still need you to update to dapper and edgy and install xubuntu and kubuntu | |
| [07:44] <ol_dude67> now if we was talking slackware...id say have fun...lol | |
| [07:45] <holymoly> heh | |
| [07:45] <dsffsf> ok my turn? | |

| [07:54] <unholyskorn> Anyone know a good mac channel? | |
| [07:55] <dsffsf> may i ask why kubuntu disables the root account | |
| [07:55] <ol_dude67> so you dont screw it up. | |
| [07:55] <unholyskorn> anyone know how to get mac osx to run on a x86 pc? | |
| [07:55] <asraniel__> dsffsf: for the same reason ubuntu does, security problems and that people don't login as root | |
| [07:56] <dsffsf> Me screw it up ;) | |
| [07:56] <ol_dude67> yep...all it takes is a bad command ... | |
| [07:56] <asraniel__> dsffsf: well, if you are a experienced user, you can always enable the root account again | |
| [07:56] <ol_dude67> and linux will let you | |
| [07:56] <dsffsf> unholy google it | |
| [07:56] <asraniel__> dsffsf: but for what do you need the root account anyway? | |
| [07:56] <dsffsf> there are a few site that will help | |
| [07:57] <unholyskorn> can i just burn the dvd and install like normal? | |
| [07:57] <dsffsf> no mac used diff hardware and it need hacks and stuff to make it work | |
| [07:57] <asraniel__> osx on normal pc? no, wont work withou a few hacks | |
| [07:57] <unholyskorn> how hard is it to do? | |

| [09:23] <havocologe> how to add newer versions of packages than they are available in aptitude ? | |
| [09:23] <ActionParsnip> havocologe: download the .deb file | |
| [09:24] <ActionParsnip> havocologe: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file | |
| [09:25] <havocologe> there is no dpkg file. only a source.rpm | |

| [09:26] <ActionParsnip> !alien | havocologe | |
| [09:26] <ubottu> havocologe: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | |
| [09:26] <ActionParsnip> havocologe: alien is really an ABSOLUTE last ditch as its not very graceful or advised, but can be done | |

| [10:28] <Mentaticus> i recently installed ubuntu and then decided to use the KDE desktop (which i like more) that then went to uninstall kde killed install | |
| [10:28] <Mentaticus> trying to reformat | |
| [10:29] <Mentaticus> noticed in windows there were some extra partions | |
| [10:29] <Mentaticus> delted those | |
| [10:29] <Mentaticus> now in windows burning kubuntu 4 | |
| [10:29] <Mentaticus> hopingh windows install isnt deaed | |
| [10:30] <tictric> Mentaticus: you could've installed kde from gnome desktop too or use them alongside :( | |
| [10:30] <Mentaticus> yeah | |
| [10:30] <Mentaticus> but its was kde 3.5.9 i think | |
| [10:30] <Mentaticus> wanted the latest | |

| [10:32] <Mentaticus> agreed | |
| [10:32] <Mentaticus> lol | |
| [10:32] <Mentaticus> so im guess i should restart see if windows still works | |
| [10:33] <Mentaticus> then install kubuntu | |
| [10:33] <Mentaticus> advice at this point? | |
| [10:34] <Mentaticus> before i restart tictric | |
| [10:35] <Mentaticus> when i rebooted i would have options for linux or windows | |

| [12:42] <philsf> hi, I'm using kontact in gnome, and I found a reproductible crash bug. I'd like to use the Report bug entry in Help menu to fill relevant information for me, however, it apparently only have the option to report directly to .kde.org. Also despite having apport-qt installed, apport doesn't kick in (kcrash does). How can I make apport-qt catch the crash, so I can easilly report directly to launchpad? | |
| [12:54] <SlimG> How do I connect to a ssh server with the fish protocol (Konqueror) when the ssh-server is running on another port then 22 ? | |
| [12:59] <philsf> SlimG: have you tried appending the usual way of appending :port_no to the server? | |
| [13:02] <SlimG> philsf: embarrasing, That works, it was the first thing I tested, but I might have been fooled by a defect network connection :P | |
| [13:02] <Dr_willis> :) | |
| [13:03] <philsf> SlimG: I would be upset if it didn't work :) | |
| [13:05] <philsf> is apport-qt supposed to work with kcrash, or should I remove kcrash so that apport-qt collects crash information? | |
| === owner is now known as Purple | |
| [13:06] <Githzerai> philsf: I belive that much more than apport-qt is required for full debug output | |
| [13:06] <philsf> Githzerai: such as? | |
| [13:07] <Githzerai> philsf: Do you have all -dbg packages ? | |
| [13:07] <Githzerai> Githzerai: for Kontact | |
| [13:08] <philsf> Githzerai: I don't see -dbg for kontact nor kmail | |
| [13:08] <philsf> Githzerai: oh, kdepim-dbg | |
| [13:08] <Githzerai> philsf: And Knotify itself does crash a lot in Gnome, kind of a setback if u ask me :) | |
| [13:09] <philsf> I didn't have it installaedm I'll try it now | |
| [13:09] <philsf> Githzerai: yeah? doest it complain, or crash silently for you? | |
| [13:11] <Githzerai> philsf: Well, knotify offers u easy bug reporting through mail service. In Gnome sometimes it just doesn't apperar, or appears but can't do anything with it.... | |
| [13:12] <philsf> Githzerai: hmm, I honestly never noticed it. I usually cancel email reports anyway. I guess the only crashes I get to email-report are amarok's | |
| [13:13] <Githzerai> philsf: Amarok has different packaging philosophy. And it an extragear app, so bugs are not reported to KDE but Amarok devel... | |
| [13:13] <philsf> what's been driving me nuts is kpilotDaemon. hardy's version can't work properly for long. crashes and freezes a lot. and when it doesn't freeze per se, it doesn't respond to other programs calls (even kpilot!), and keeps me from logging out/shutdown/reboot | |
| [13:14] <philsf> Githzerai: in that case, I think never got knotify to report a bug by email :) | |
| [13:14] <philsf> but I never got a crash report about either (at least not from kcrash) | |

| === root is now known as Guest20212 | |
| === spacesyl is now known as SpaceSyl | |
| [13:17] <Githzerai> philsf: Well, if you use it in Gnome, you should know that some things are just ment to be used in KDE and depend on lot of KDE stuff. Yes I (used to) have Knotify appearances i Gnome, but my primary session was allways and will be KDE. Maybe that has to do something with it . :) ;) | |
| [13:18] <philsf> Githzerai: I'd thought that by now amarok should be integrated with kde. | |
| [13:18] <Githzerai> philsf: Yes it is integrated. More than ever. ;) | |
| [13:19] <philsf> Githzerai: I mean, as a core app, kdemultimedia? | |
| [13:19] <Githzerai> philsf: It's just that it isn't official part of kde, but an extragear app. ;) | |
| [13:20] <philsf> Githzerai: yeah, that's what I tried to say :) s/integrated/official/ | |
| [13:21] <Githzerai> philsf: Progams that have story of there own are supposed to be separated from basic KDE. Say, K3b an many other develop in such way... | |
| [13:22] <philsf> Githzerai: I read somewhere that KDE4 is/was supposed to eliminate excessive duplication of apps for the same purpose (kedit/kwrite/kate, for example). is that correct/still stand? | |
| [13:22] <Githzerai> philsf: Which deosn't in any way mean that they are not well integrated in enviroment ;) | |
| [13:22] <philsf> Githzerai: I'm sorry I used "integrated" :) I meant official | |
| [13:23] <philsf> Githzerai: I used KDE from 3.0 to k.5.7, I agree there are no integration issues (au contraire) | |
| [13:24] <Githzerai> philsf: I understand. ;) Just trying to explain the meaning of extragear. ;) | |
| [13:26] <Githzerai> philsf: as for KDE4 I honestly don't know. I've been using it all the way, and even nowdays I find myself wondering what were developers thinking... It's a good stuff though, just don't ask for plans ... ;) | |
| [13:27] <philsf> I also read that KDE4.0 is not targetted for end users, as will be KDE4.1. is this correct? | |
| [13:28] <philsf> I mean, even though it's stable | |
| [13:29] <Githzerai> philsf: Intrepid Ibex is going to be KDE 4.1. That covers it all. ;) As for further questions about KDE 4, think #kubuntu-kde4 is appropriate place. ;) | |
| [13:30] <emilsedgh> philsf: it good for people who want to run on bleeding edge software | |
| [13:30] <Githzerai> emilsedgh: Wrong ;) | |

| [13:33] <philsf> Dr_willis: you don't think so?? | |
| [13:34] <philsf> Githzerai: btw, installing kdepim-dbg didn't make apport notice the crash. further ideas? | |
| [13:34] <Githzerai> emilsedgh: Try KDE 4.1 beta 2, than make oppinion for yourself. Don't listen anything anybody tells you, but listen to yourself ;) | |
| [13:34] <emilsedgh> Githzerai: im on svn | |
| [13:34] <emilsedgh> Githzerai: and its awesome :) | |
| [13:36] <Githzerai> emilsedgh: Well trunk is bleeding edge, that's for sure :) ;) | |
| [13:36] <emilsedgh> Githzerai: oh, sorry, i thought the guy asked about 4.0, now i scrolled up and saw he asked about 4.1 | |
| [13:36] <emilsedgh> :P | |
| [13:37] <emilsedgh> Githzerai: i really think i need to sleep for a while! | |
| [13:37] <philsf> although the trace was much richer | |
| [13:38] <Githzerai> emilsedgh: :) Usually helps. Than u wake up and see : "OMG no updates today !!!" Then u wonder why u even woke up...... :D | |
| [13:40] <emilsedgh> Githzerai: haha yeah | |
| [13:40] <Githzerai> philsf: No idea honestly. Not much of a Gnome user. IMHO Gnome's even existance is a bug for itself, so can't be much of a help ... ;) | |
| [13:41] <philsf> Githzerai: lol, ok let's leave it at that :) | |
| [13:41] <Githzerai> philsf: Be a man : Use KDE :D ;) | |
| [13:41] <philsf> no flamewars intended | |
| [13:42] <Githzerai> philsf: We're all having fun, no flamewars intended indeed. ;) | |
| [13:43] <philsf> :) | |
| [13:44] <Dr_willis> Phlame wars | |
| [13:44] <philsf> tbh, I changed because the excessive availability of choice in KDE was keeping from my my job. I'm an upgrade freak, and a config freak, so I can never see a new option feature and not try it | |

| [17:46] <Dr_willis> You could copy them over from your current setup I guess | |

| [17:46] <sacarde> I try | |
| [17:46] <sacarde> not work | |
| [17:46] <Dr_willis> !debootstrap | |
| [17:46] <ubottu> debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | |
| [17:46] <Dr_willis> Looks like a deboot strap setup needs to download the various bash deb and other debs. some how. | |

| [19:20] <solifugus> OK--since ubuntu's VirtualBox packages are broken and not getting fixed, is there an other easy to use VM solution avalable? | |
| [19:21] <goshawk> solifugus: maybe download VirtualBox from wirtualbox.org? | |
| [19:21] <goshawk> virtualbox.org | |
| [19:21] <dwidmann> Well, you either need to put the /boot partition on the laptop disk, or install grub to the USB disk MBR ubunturos and simultaneously isntall something to the MBR of the laptop disk so it can be booted without the drive | |
| [19:21] <dwidmann> solifugus: vmware? | |
| [19:21] <goshawk> -__- | |
| [19:21] <ubunturos> dwidmann: what would that "something to the MBR of laptop" be? | |
| [19:22] <dwidmann> ubunturos: well, what OS's are on the laptop drive? | |
| [19:22] <ubunturos> dwidmann: just windows | |
| [19:22] <ubunturos> Media center | |
| [19:22] <ubunturos> that came pre-installed | |
| [19:22] <dwidmann> ubunturos: you'll need the recovery disk for that solution then | |
| [19:22] <ubunturos> dwidmann: hmm, let me find that out. Must be around | |
| [19:24] <dwidmann> when it boots you need to select rescue and it'll give you a dos shell, in which you type fdisk /mbr | |
| [19:24] <ubunturos> dwidmann: looks like DELL didn't give me a rescue disk | |
| [19:24] <ubunturos> :( | |
| [19:24] <ubunturos> dwidmann: does a "System Resotre" help? | |
| [19:25] <dwidmann> probably not | |
| [19:25] <ubunturos> s/resotre / restore | |
| [19:25] <solifugus> dwidmann: I am using VMware Workstation for work-related work.. but I don't own and should not mix my own work with my work's work.. and I am not ready to fork out the money for my own license to VMware Workstation. | |
| [19:25] <dwidmann> solifugus: vmware server = free (as in beer) | |
| [19:25] <solifugus> dwidmann: and, vmware server is fine for servers but only supports one snapshot at a time and has slow desktop performance.. I need particularly the snapshot tree. | |
| [19:26] <solifugus> virtualbox has the full snapshot tree.. it's almost a carbon copy of VMware workstation | |
| [19:26] <dwidmann> I'm sure it's intended to be, sounds useful | |
| [19:27] <solifugus> goshawk: Here's the problem with virtualbox.org's download for ubuntu--installing it says it has an unsatisfied dependency, libssl0.9.8 (which is, in fact, installed) | |
| [19:27] <stdin> ubunturos: sometimes the system restore option (from the BIOS screen) will let you get to a dos prompt, if it does that you can run the command from there | |
| [19:27] <ubunturos> dwidmann: I have a trick. I'll boot into Kubuntu, edit the bootloader config, and make it boot Windows, default without a timer, would that work? | |

| [20:05] <Pollywog> not /dev/hdc | |
| [20:05] <Pollywog> ? | |
| [20:05] <stdin> it should be something like "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0" | |
| [20:06] <stdin> the hdX names should all be sdX names from kernel 2.6.20 on | |

| [20:41] <jill> my kaffeine always show error when i use double click on avi file? | |
| [20:41] <Hondo_Kitsune> jill: do you have the correct codec | |
| [20:42] <llutz> minhaaj: no need to backup packages, just a list of them (dpkg --get-selections) and your sources.list. also a backup of /etc might be usefull | |
| [20:42] <Hondo_Kitsune> is it an AVI or a DiVX | |

| [20:43] <Hondo_Kitsune> jill: english? | |
| [20:43] <jill> always | |
| [20:43] <jill> divx and avi | |
| [20:44] <Hondo_Kitsune> so it is a DiVX AVI file | |
| [20:44] <jill> always syas that codacs are downloaded | |
| [20:44] <Hondo_Kitsune> hmm | |
| [20:44] <Hondo_Kitsune> could be the file | |
| [20:44] <Hondo_Kitsune> have you tested other AVIs | |
| [20:44] <jill> no | |
| [20:44] <jill> yea | |
| [20:44] <jill> i am | |
| [20:44] <jill> but | |
| [20:44] <jill> if | |
| [20:44] <jill> if i open it from kafeine menu | |
| [20:44] <jill> it is works good | |
| [20:44] <jill> without questions | |
| [20:45] <jill> but if i click on file | |
| [20:45] <llutz> !enter| jill | |
| [20:45] <ubottu> jill: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | |
| [20:45] <jill> iokay | |
| [20:45] <Hondo_Kitsune> then there is no problem, probably just a bug. Keep updating Kaffeine using adept or synaptic and it should eventually sort itself out | |
| [20:46] <jhutchins_wk> jill: Meanwhile try mplayer or vnc. | |
| [20:47] <Hondo_Kitsune> ahh, jhutchins has a point, try an alternate player | |
| [20:47] <jill> mplayer works | |
| [20:47] <jill> but i love kafeine | |
| [20:48] <Hondo_Kitsune> As i said, just keep updating it | |

| [21:00] <giuseppe> hi, how can I update my distro Gutsy? | |
| [21:00] <minhaaj> giuseppe: type apt-get install dist-upgrade | |
| [21:01] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [21:01] <minhaaj> or apt-get install update | |
| [21:01] <minhaaj> you want to update or upgrade ? | |
| [21:01] <minhaaj> or do the distribution update ? | |
| [21:01] <giuseppe> update | |
| [21:02] <minhaaj> apt-get install update | |
| [21:02] <giuseppe> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | |
| [21:02] <minhaaj> you do you have adept-get open ? | |
| [21:03] <giuseppe> yes, you are right | |
| [21:03] <minhaaj> shut it down first | |
| [21:03] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [21:03] <giuseppe> minhaaj: sorry, but if I upgrade, what will I upgrade? Full distro? | |
| [21:03] <minhaaj> nope | |
| [21:03] <minhaaj> just gutsy | |
| [21:04] <minhaaj> for full distro apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [21:04] <minhaaj> install between them | |
| [21:04] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [21:04] <giuseppe> minhaaj: does it mean kernel?? | |
| [21:04] <minhaaj> yes it updates kernel | |
| [21:05] <giuseppe> minhaaj: well, now appears: impossible finding dist-upgrade | |
| [21:05] <minhaaj> sorry the command was sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [21:06] <giuseppe> minhaaj: 0 updated, 0 installed, 0 removed | |
| [21:06] <giuseppe> minhaaj: is it normal???? | |
| [21:06] <minhaaj> yep | |
| [21:06] <minhaaj> :) | |
| [21:06] <minhaaj> you are already up to date | |

| [21:08] <tictric> proprietarysucks: from k3b | |
| [21:08] <mkultras> should i try copying them with dolphin or something instead you think | |
| [21:08] <proprietarysucks> k3b doesn't find img files | |
| [21:08] <llutz> mkultras: use "cp -a ...." | |
| [21:09] <giuseppe> minhaaj: are you able to do it? | |
| [21:12] <tictric> proprietarysucks: I'm not sure but give it a try and rename img to iso | |
| [21:12] <tictric> It's basically the same | |

| [21:18] <_2> what is needed to get acpi support to work on ati chips in dapper drake ? or can someone point me in the right dirrection there? | |
| [21:19] <user1> when i upgrade from fiesty. it ties to go to gutsy. not to hardy. how can i do it for hardy? | |
| [21:19] <proprietarysucks> tictric: no it's not the same at all | |
| [21:19] <proprietarysucks> in some cases it is | |
| [21:19] <proprietarysucks> anyways I've found the solution, which is poweriso converter | |
| [21:19] <_2> user1 i don't believe that one step upgrading from fiesty to hardy is supported | |
| [21:19] <tictric> proprietarysucks: Sometimes it works | |

| [21:25] <kalorin> anyone ever seen that? | |
| [21:26] <kalorin> user1, not sure you can go directly | |
| [21:26] <kalorin> might have to do an intermediate upgrade | |

| [21:26] <mkultras> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS | |

| [21:27] <jessejazza> what is the best way to format a remote hard drive for backup purposes and use on windows and ubuntu. I used gparted - but i wanted to check for bad sectors so what can i do? | |
| [21:27] <_2> user1 change the key word fiesty to hardy in your /etc/apt/sources.list run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade as root and when it break don't call us. we have told you that one step upgrading from fiesty to hardy is not supported. | |
| [21:27] <mkultras> the only thing i had a problem was java disappeared i think | |
| [21:29] <_2> "<mkultras> hey you can go from dapper to hardy though" <<< mkultras and it usually breaks too. | |

| [21:33] <jessejazza> _2: badblocks? | |
| [21:33] <_2> yeah | |
| [21:33] <jessejazza> name of a package? | |
| [21:33] <_2> no an app | |
| [21:33] <engineer> rpedro por aqui? | |
| [21:33] <jessejazza> i've just looked it up | |
| [21:35] <_2> jessejazza short answer is use "mke2fs -jc /dev/devicenode" where ever you want an ext3 filesystem and yes windows can access ext# there are drivers online | |
| [21:36] <jessejazza> _2: is that better than FAT32? | |
| [21:36] <_2> the -c will tell mke2fs to first run badblocks on the device and then use it's output to "skip" any bad blocks it finds. | |
| [21:37] <_2> jessejazza better ? heh well do you want my openion or are you asking a polling question ? | |
| [21:37] <_2> of course it's better, it's a real file system, vfat is not. | |
| [21:39] <jessejazza> -2: a balanced opinion! can't find mke2fs - which repo? | |
| [21:40] <_2> vfat has no permissions bits uses fat=file allocation tables rather than redundant superblocks and is not a "journalizing filesystem" vfat fragments files and requires defrag ext3 doesn't "per'se" and so forth. repo ? "which mke2fs" | |
| [21:40] <_2> or "man mke2fs" | |
| [21:40] * meow finally got kubuntu + vmware + ati drivers + firewall config up :o) | |
| [21:41] <meow> thanks for all your help | |
| [21:41] <llutz> also ext2/3 fragments, not like vfat but it still does. | |
| [21:41] <meow> now all i need is a good scriptable irc client. any recommendations? | |
| [21:41] <llutz> irssi | |
| [21:41] <engineer> mirc | |
| [21:42] <meow> i'm using mirc now, engineer, and it's eating up 10% of my cpu | |
| [21:42] <engineer> 1-2% here | |
| [21:42] <engineer> 12mb of ram | |
| [21:42] <meow> and there are a couple of gui bugs which really annoy me | |
| [21:42] <_2> jessejazza one thing that vfat might be better about than ext# fs it's made for a constantly rebooting system and wont complain about not being uncleanly dismounted. | |
| [21:43] <_2> that doesn't mean you can power off durring a disk write without errors by any means. | |
| [21:43] <meow> llutz: anything with a graphical interface? | |

| [21:45] <kalorin> I don't get "kicked" | |
| [21:45] <psyco> XD | |
| [21:46] <Pepcok^PotLS> I know but somethimes it happens :_ | |
| [21:46] <Pepcok^PotLS> so does sb know? | |
| [21:46] <_2> Pepcok^PotLS i'm not using konvo but why are you getting kicked out of channels ? and better still why would you want to go back to some place that you know you are not wanted ? | |
| [21:47] <Pepcok^PotLS> it's because somethimes we kick each other for fun :) and i'mnot joking | |
| [21:47] <_2> i mean that's begging for a ban | |
| [21:47] <_2> hmmm odd practice. | |
| [21:47] <Pepcok^PotLS> no it's just channel for friends and somethimes we kick each other but it's not serious | |
| [21:47] <Van_NistelRooy> can i emulator visual studio 6 in the wine | |
| [21:47] <_2> "some people get their jollys in the strangest ways" | |
| [21:48] <Pepcok^PotLS> ok other question | |
| [21:48] <Pepcok^PotLS> what is the best way to bring my playlist saved on winamp to Ubuntu? | |
| [21:49] <Pepcok^PotLS> which program would be the best? | |
| [21:49] <kubuntero> Pepcok^PotLS: The playlist it self? | |
| [21:49] <_2> doesn't amarok have a playlist inport function ? | |
| [21:49] <kubuntero> Just open it. almost all programs read m3u | |
| [21:49] <Pepcok^PotLS> yes i has, but it doesn;t open files which are in catalogs | |
| [21:50] <Pepcok^PotLS> for example I have in win my mp3 files in E:/Music | |
| [21:50] <Pepcok^PotLS> and in Music I have many catalogues | |
| [21:50] <Pepcok^PotLS> but when I import playlist to amarok | |
| [21:51] <Pepcok^PotLS> it reads only files from E:/Music | |
| [21:51] <Pepcok^PotLS> nnot from E:/Music/xxx | |
| [21:51] <Pepcok^PotLS> where xxx is catalogue | |
| [21:51] <Pepcok^PotLS> so can sb help me? | |
| [21:51] <tom__> Pepcok^PotLS: mount windows partition and drag-and-drop from dolphin to amarok | |
| [21:52] <tom__> worked for me | |
| [21:52] <kubuntero> What's a catalogue? | |
| [21:52] <Van_NistelRooy> help me peoples... | |

| [21:56] <orkid> i don't know if this is the right channel, but i just installed kde-core and xorg on a minimal system and am looking for things that might be useful (ie. automount usb keys, keystore [ssh keys], etc)... but i'm not sure which packages i need (ie. which hal/dbus things i need, pmount, etc). is there a webpage that might have a list of interesting and useful packages | |
| [21:56] <orkid> ? | |
| [21:56] <orkid> tx in advance | |
| [22:04] <keith_> orkid try #kde | |
| === keith_ is now known as compilerwriter | |
| === tom__ is now known as meow | |
| [22:05] <orkid> i did, but i thought it was the wrong channel, since it's ubuntu related | |
| [22:05] <meow> well each package is useful and interesting in it's way | |
| [22:05] <compilerwriter> #kubuntu is also ubuntue related orkid. | |
| [22:05] <meow> there are thousands of packages for ubuntu | |
| [22:06] <orkid> hmmm. i also don't have sound :S | |
| [22:06] <compilerwriter> orkid it is the kde branch of ubuntu | |
| [22:06] <compilerwriter> #kde is for kde in general orkid | |
| [22:06] <orkid> yes... so i thought people here would know more about what packages are involved | |
| [22:06] <bomber> linux from scratch might be helpful too "lfs" | |
| [22:07] <orkid> i'm more curious as to what packages i would need to install for getting automount of usb drives for example, or sound | |
| [22:07] <bomber> might point you towards the right packages | |
| [22:07] <compilerwriter> orkid to tell you the truth most of those pacakages are already in the ubuntu base install. I can't be much help there. I thought you were looking for kde specific stuff. | |
| [22:08] <orkid> also, anyone know why aptitude pulls in way more packages than apt-get ? apt-get install firefox wants only a few while aptitude wants around 50... does aptitude pull in the recommended pakages or something? | |
| [22:08] <orkid> well, i did the server install... i'll have a look around packages.ubuntu.com | |
| [22:08] <llutz> orkid: it does | |
| [22:08] <uwe__> uuh | |
| [22:08] <orkid> but sometimes even the package titles make it hard to decipher what's needed | |
| [22:08] <llutz> orkid: use aptitude -R | |
| [22:08] <orkid> llutz: what's the way to disable this? | |
| [22:08] <orkid> tx :) | |
| [22:09] <llutz> set : Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; in ~/.aptitude/config | |
| [22:09] <Pepcok^PotLS> I've just instaled programm by using console, how can I open it now?? | |
| [22:09] <llutz> that makes it permanent | |
| [22:09] <dave11> my sound keeps defaulting to the wrong sound device, how can I lock it down to a certain device? | |
| [22:12] <dave11> !sound | |
| [22:12] <ubottu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | |
| [22:14] <joga> I just installed kubuntu hardy today, and noticed now when setting up a color prompt that I got a ~/.bashrc telling me to uncomment '#force_colored_prompt=yes', but it actually checks the value of '$force_color_prompt' (thus failing). /etc/skel/.bashrc seems to be correct though, why would this be? | |
| [22:16] <Pepcok^PotLS> i've just installed programme but it's not in my "Applications", what's oter wa to open it? | |
| [22:18] <joga> well, I guess the .bashrc thing was fixed after I installed the updates.. | |

| [22:29] <tonky> hi guys. i'm connected to dlink wifi router, and router is plugged to dsl modem which is connected to internet. how can i find out the ip of wifi router to access it through http and configure it? | |
| [22:29] <fitoria> hello | |
| [22:29] <y5shin> ip of the router? like as in the admin page? | |
| [22:29] <fitoria> Is there Java plugin for 64bits? | |
| [22:29] <engineer> what's the netmask you're using? | |
| [22:29] <engineer> fitoria no | |
| [22:30] <engineer> 192.168.1.254 if your ip is a class C | |
| [22:30] <tonky> yes y5shin, it used to be 192.168.0.50, but not responding. not even after wifi router reset. | |
| [22:30] <engineer> or 192.168.1.1 | |
| [22:30] <y5shin> i would go with 192.168.1.1 for dlink | |
| [22:30] <engineer> tonky check your gateway | |
| [22:30] <bomber> or 192.168.0.1 | |
| [22:30] <engineer> it should be that one | |
| [22:30] <tonky> engineer: 1.1 is dsl modem ip, neither 1.254 or 0.1 are responding | |
| [22:31] <engineer> what's your ip | |
| [22:31] <tonky> 1.10, dhcp by dsl | |
| [22:31] <y5shin> exit | |
| [22:31] <engineer> check your gateway | |
| [22:31] <engineer> it should be that ip | |
| [22:32] <bomber> also shouldnt you have to configure it via a rj45 connect and not wifi? | |
| [22:33] <tonky> bomber: if used to work for me over wifi before | |
| [22:33] <ksal> so hi again | |
| [22:33] <ksal> it didn't help me | |
| [22:33] <ksal> i checked xorg.conf | |
| [22:34] <tonky> how do i check my gateway? route? default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 | |
| [22:34] <ksal> tonky: ifconfig | |
| [22:34] <ksal> ? | |
| [22:34] <tonky> ksal: what exactly should i look for in ifconfig to be a gateway? | |
| [22:35] <engineer> ksal ping 255.255.255.255 -b | |
| [22:35] <ksal> so i checked it and as Monitor Identifier I have ' Configured Monitor' and as my GPU I have 'Configured Video Device | |
| [22:35] <engineer> oops | |
| [22:35] <engineer> that was to tomsku | |

| [22:35] <engineer> nicaragua? | |
| [22:36] <fitoria> engineer: yes :) | |
| [22:36] <ksal> engineer: it says 'yes' | |
| [22:36] <tonky> engineer: no reply from ping 255.255.255.255 -b | |
| [22:36] <engineer> ksal then the drivers are working | |
| [22:36] <engineer> tonky it pings my gateway here | |
| [22:36] <tonky> lucky you :) | |
| [22:36] <engineer> you router | |
| [22:36] <ksal> engineer: ok, but why I can't use correct resolution? | |
| [22:36] <engineer> must be blocking broadcast pings | |
| [22:37] <ksal> I only can have 640x480 and lower | |
| [22:37] <fitoria> How do I find out what urls apt-get install will use for the .debs pkg downloads/ | |
| [22:37] <fitoria> ? | |
| [22:37] <engineer> cat /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| [22:37] <engineer> check the uncommented lines | |
| [22:38] <ksal> fitoria: or you can check it in synaptic, i suppose | |
| [22:38] <engineer> ksal are higher resolutions listed in xorg,xonf? | |
| [22:38] <fitoria> engineer: I know that but for example I do an apt-get install foo How do I find the urls to download the .debs? | |
| [22:38] <engineer> fitoria it's in the file | |
| [22:39] <engineer> the packages are in dirs inside those urls | |

| [23:11] <toxic_> hi | |
| [23:11] <toxic_> im totally new to kubuntu :/ | |
| [23:11] <toxic_> i just found it installed on my pc | |
| [23:11] <toxic_> where should i start? :D | |
| [23:12] <toxic_> i want to install eclipse ;/ | |
| [23:13] <stuq> toxic_: sudo aptitude install eclipse should do it | |
| [23:13] <toxic_> stuq: i need the jre first i think | |
| [23:14] <toxic_> i have the rpm file downladed from java | |
| [23:14] <stuq> toxic_: if it needs it, the dependacies should come along for the ride | |
| [23:14] <NickPresta> toxic_, Kubuntu doesn't use RPMs. It uses DEBs (.deb) | |
| [23:14] <toxic_> is there no chance to handle rpms? | |
| [23:14] <NickPresta> toxic_, you can use Adept to install Eclipse and any associated files it needs | |
| [23:15] <stuq> toxic_: once you start using debs, you won't really want rpm's | |
| [23:15] <NickPresta> anything that you could find packaged as an RPM is either available as a deb or can be found in the repos already :) | |
| [23:15] <toxic_> ok ;) | |
| [23:15] <NickPresta> !repos | |
| [23:15] <ubottu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | |
| [23:15] <stuq> but there are utilities to convert them that sort of work | |
