| [00:00] <KrispyKreme_> ActionParsnip: one more question. I already have support for atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards disabled. I should keep it that way right? | |
| [00:00] <tkstka> Adapt installer | |
| [00:01] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: any kde apps will be ripped out. its all the same, ktorrent (for example) is still called ktorrent in kde3 as well as kde4 , its all the same name so it applies to all kde's | |
| [00:01] <ActionParsnip> KrispyKreme_: sure | |
| [00:01] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: ok.. | |
| [00:01] <BluesKaj> tk | |
| [00:02] <BluesKaj> ops | |
| [00:02] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: and if kde3 apps are ported to kde4 they get the same name and will be upgraded.. | |
| [00:02] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: yep | |
| [00:02] <jontec> my monitor is being detected with a maximum resolution of 800x600 how can I increase the maximum? I've used xrandr, but I get an error "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" after adding the mode | |
| [00:03] <BluesKaj> tkstka, are you on 8.10 ? | |
| [00:03] <tkstka> 7.04 | |
| [00:03] <szrhawaii> anyone know how to use the advanced settings for kdesktop | |
| [00:03] <BluesKaj> tkstka, aha , ok that's duifferent | |
| [00:03] <tkstka> only linux cd I had besided ubuntu.. but it didnt work for somereason | |
| [00:04] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: the good thing is, if now will a package removed that is used bye any app, i can reinstall it.. | |
| [00:04] <tkstka> so how do I update this thing to 8.1 | |
| [00:04] <tkstka> what do I need to know? | |
| [00:04] <jabrroa> if i have installed kubuntu and installed codecs and programs i want can i take the HDD files and burn an iso? | |
| [00:05] <tkstka> is there new important updates I need to do? | |
| [00:05] <BluesKaj> !upgrade 7.04 | |
| [00:05] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade 7.04 | |
| [00:06] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: absolutely, just apt-get install it as normal | |
| [00:06] <jabrroa> if i have installed kubuntu and installed codecs and programs i want can i take the HDD files and burn an iso? | |
| [00:06] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: did you md5 the cd? | |
| [00:06] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: ;).. restarting.. an check if all is running ;) | |
| [00:06] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | |
| [00:06] <BluesKaj> tkstka, the best thing is to DL the 8.10 live cd and install from there . Back up your fav data first of course. | |
| [00:06] <ubottu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | |
| [00:08] <tkstka> sh*t damn I wouldnt like to do that.. Isnt there a way to for me to download some upgrade back.. I dont have cd's or rw | |
| [00:08] <jabrroa> if i have installed kubuntu and installed codecs and programs i want can i take the HDD files and burn an iso? | |
| [00:08] <tkstka> BluesKaj I was reading this | |

| [00:09] <tkstka> but I dont have the same menu in adp | |
| [00:09] <KrispyKreme> ActionParsnip: It didn't work | |
| [00:10] <ActionParsnip> KrispyKreme: ndiswrapper for you | |
| [00:10] <tkstka> so is there a way to update this to 7.09 to 7.10 | |
| [00:10] <tkstka> so I can update it to 8.** | |
| [00:10] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | tkstka | |
| [00:10] <ubottu> tkstka: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | |
| [00:10] <KrispyKreme> ohhh. Now I have to get ndiswrapper right? | |
| [00:10] <tkstka> is kubuntu basicly same as ubuntu | |

| [00:13] <ActionParsnip> KrispyKreme: you need the win xp32 or win xp64 driver for the device | |
| [00:13] <aanderse> hey if anyone here presses ctrl+shift+w in konsole, does it make your kopete go to "away" status instead of closing you konsole tab? | |
| [00:13] <aanderse> and when i say konsole, i think i mean any app which has tabs | |
| [00:14] <jontec> JontheEchidna: okay, I'm assuming that this has something to do with xrandr and I've tried that... I get a xrandr: "Configure crtc 0 failed" when attempting to change my resolution from 800x600 (autodetect max) to the actual maxiumum, 1024x768 (I have already added the mode) | |
| [00:14] <_gtt_> aanderse: dont hold down shift. | |
| [00:14] <aanderse> ctrl+w does nothing | |
| [00:15] <aanderse> (they shortcut says ctrl+shift+w) | |
| [00:15] <_gtt_> oh yeah | |
| [00:15] <jontec> JontheEchidna: I can select it from within the tray app, but it does nothing, so I'm assuming it's the same problem | |
| [00:15] <_gtt_> doh, my bad | |
| [00:15] <ActionParsnip> aanderse: i use yakuake instead | |
| [00:15] <JontheEchidna> jontec: yeah, they both use xrandr | |
| [00:15] <aanderse> the same behaviour occurs in dolphin | |
| [00:15] <ActionParsnip> aanderse: you may be able to change the shortcut in keyboard settings | |
| [00:15] <aanderse> well, i'm mostly asking if someone can replicate this | |
| [00:16] <aanderse> if so, it's a bug | |
| [00:16] <jontec> JontheEchidna: and since xorg.conf is no longer operable, are there any alternatives? | |
| [00:16] <_gtt_> it closes my tabs properly | |
| [00:16] <aanderse> k, so it's possible this is a me bug :p | |
| [00:16] <aanderse> thanks | |
| [00:16] <JontheEchidna> file a bug about X not autodetecting your monitor's max res properly I guess | |
| [00:16] <JontheEchidna> that's what I did | |
| [00:16] <ActionParsnip> aanderse: I wouldnt say it was, its a mixed settings in keyboard shortcuts probably | |
| [00:16] <jontec> JontheEchidna: what # was your bug? | |
| [00:16] <jontec> or, rather, do you have a link? | |
| [00:17] <JontheEchidna> jontec: unless you have a Compaq 7500 monitor and nvidia geforce 4 mx 440 I think you'd better file a separate bug | |
| [00:17] <xp-killer> im looking for a video converter for kubuntu | |
| [00:17] <ActionParsnip> xp-killer: ffmpeg and mencoder are your friends | |
| [00:17] * JontheEchidna had an old xorg.conf lying around which he is using atm | |
| [00:18] <jontec> JontheEchidna: I was just curious about the solution | |
| [00:18] <xp-killer> ActionParsnip: lol tanks | |
| [00:18] <JontheEchidna> jontec: it hasn't been fixed yet; I'm using an old xorg.conf file that has the resolutions defined | |
| [00:18] <Schuenemann> Hey, what kubuntu version should I choose for a core 2 duo? I selected 64bit AMD and Intel computers, but the ISO name is kubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso. Is this correct? | |
| [00:19] <tkstka> So there is no way to update this 7.04 to any newer version... All the instructions I find talk about buttons to press in adept manager but there are no buttons there | |
| [00:20] <tkstka> with those names | |
| [00:20] <tkstka> just huge sums of different programs I can install | |
| [00:24] <xp-killer> tkstka: clic on fetch updates then clic on full upgrade | |
| [00:24] <tkstka> xp-killer there is no option like that in 7.04 as far as I can see | |
| [00:25] <tkstka> I hear everywhere I find that I need to get some new cd.. or something | |
| [00:25] <tkstka> I dont have cd or rw to burn new cd's | |
| [00:25] <xp-killer> then update it online from adept | |
| [00:27] <tkstka> well I said it dont have options like that.. It has a huge list of programs I can update but no full system update | |
| [00:27] <tkstka> ... | |
| [00:27] <xp-killer> tkstka: on top u dont see fetch updates? | |
| [00:28] <tkstka> no | |
| [00:28] <tkstka> I've lookd everywhere | |
| [00:28] <tkstka> I can take a screenshot if you like | |
| [00:29] <szrhawaii_> #compiz-fusion | |
| [00:29] <tkstka> is there anyway to update by using commands? | |
| [00:31] <szrhawaii_> anyone know how to turn of the drawing for kdesktop | |
| [00:32] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core | |
| [00:32] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: kdesudo kate /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | |
| [00:32] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: change Prompt=LTS to Prompt=normal | |
| [00:32] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: save and exit | |
| [00:33] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: sudo do-release-upgrade | |
| [00:33] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: go watch tv or have a shower | |
| [00:35] <szrhawaii_> anyone know how to make ccsm the main drawer for my background and be able to turn of the kdesktop | |
| [00:36] <tkstka> ActionParsnip thx.. but that kdesudo seems to be wrong it doesnt work | |
| [00:37] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | |
| [00:37] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: edit the line, press ctrl+x, then y, then enter | |
| [00:38] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades as sudo | |

| [00:49] <tkstka> but after I tried second time it did and it was all back to like it was before | |
| [00:50] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: you need to run the next command if you are now back to the prompt | |
| [00:50] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: sudo do-release-upgrade | |
| [00:56] <tkstka> ActionParsnip thanks verymuch and all who helped me :) | |
| [00:57] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: is it doing its thing now? | |
| [00:58] <tkstka> ActionParsnip yes | |
| [00:58] <tkstka> downloading 35 min | |
| [00:58] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: uber, you will want to keep the current conf files as it will offer stock blank ones when the upgrade is nearly done | |
| [00:59] <tkstka> ok I will keep that in mind | |
| [01:00] <ActionParsnip> tkstka: its stuff like smb.conf which you will want to keep yuor own (for example) | |
| [01:01] <xp-killer> i need a video streamer downloader | |

| === ivan_ is now known as VirtuoS | |
| [01:13] <xp-killer> ActionParsnip: flash like youtube videos | |
| [01:14] <ActionParsnip> xp-killer: theres a plugin for firefox to help yuo download flash videos | |
| [01:23] <xp-killer> ActionParsnip: u know how i can install it? | |

| [01:30] <dr_willis> Theres lots of download helper extensions :) | |

| [01:52] <dr_willis> Yep.. In and out all night | |
| [01:52] <dr_willis> :) watching the grandkids | |
| [01:52] <mrksbrd> lol....good luck | |
| [01:52] <mrksbrd> just a quick ? | |
| [01:53] <mrksbrd> i know this isn't the right channel but here it is, ........trying to install the latest gimp version thru deb files | |
| [01:53] <mrksbrd> & keep getting dependency errors | |
| [01:53] <mrksbrd> I try to install what it says it is missing but still no luck | |
| [01:53] <mrksbrd> any ideas | |
| [01:55] <dr_willis> Where are the packages comming from? | |
| [01:55] <mrksbrd> http://www.getdeb.net/ | |
| [01:56] <mrksbrd> downloaded 3 files.....1 works | |
| [01:56] <mrksbrd> other 2 giving me the errors | |
| [01:58] <arrrghhh> anyone running projectM in kubuntu? | |
| [01:59] <mrksbrd> arrrghhh: not I....... sorry | |
| [01:59] <arrrghhh> i found instructions to use projectM with pulseaudio... but kde doesn't use pulse i would assume. | |
| [02:02] <mrksbrd> says pulse will run on linux | |
| [02:02] <arrrghhh> ... | |
| [02:02] <mrksbrd> http://www.pulseaudio.org/ | |
| [02:03] <mrksbrd> just have to compile it | |
| [02:03] <astromme_> woah, no. You can still install pulse in kubuntu | |
| [02:03] <astromme_> sudo apt-get install pulseaudio | |
| [02:04] <astromme_> In 8.10 I have a choice of a gstreamer or xine backend for kde | |
| [02:04] <emma> I don't suggest you do, however, it gives people a lot of headaches. | |
| [02:04] <mrksbrd> never used it so I don't know how it will act | |
| [02:04] <astromme_> So if projectM will work with either of those, I would suggest trying that first | |
| [02:05] <mrksbrd> dr_willis: any luck yet? | |
| [02:06] <arrrghhh> projectM has a QT implementation i think | |
| [02:06] <arrrghhh> i just haven't found anything online on how to use it! | |
| [02:06] <arrrghhh> there's a thread for using it with pulse and hardy | |
| [02:09] <mrksbrd> did anyone ever figure out how to remove kde 4 apps listings in kmenu when running under 3.5 | |
| [02:09] <genii> Probably similar | |
| [02:09] <mrksbrd> hey genii.....long time no see | |
| [02:09] <genii> mrksbrd: I would think to have a ~/.kde3 and a ~/.kde4 | |
| [02:09] * genii hands mrksbrd a coffee | |
| [02:10] <mrksbrd> me welcomes it with open arms | |
| [02:10] * mrksbrd welcomes it with open arms | |
| [02:10] <arrrghhh> libvisual-projectm - anyone know about this package? it's in the repo's. | |
| [02:11] <genii> !info libvisual-projectm | |
| [02:11] <ubottu> libvisual-projectm (source: libvisual-projectm): libvisual module for projectM. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1+nmu1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 88 kB | |
| [02:11] <genii> Hmm, could ubottu be more vague? ;) | |
| [02:11] <arrrghhh> lol he could tell us something that's not even related to the package i guess. | |
| [02:11] <arrrghhh> have you heard of milkdrop? | |
| [02:12] <dr_willis> !find milkdrop | |
| [02:12] <dr_willis> Grandkids drops lots of milk | |
| [02:12] <arrrghhh> i have been missing hardly anything from winblows. the only thing i really have been missing is a good visualzation... and projectM is "compatible with milkdrop's presets" | |
| [02:13] <mrksbrd> genii: any ideas why gimp deb files are giving me dependency errors?.......libgimp2.0 gives me errors that libgtk2.0-0 doesn't meet requirements, but that is latest I can find | |
| [02:13] <arrrghhh> milkdrop is hands down (imho obviously) the best for visualizations. | |
| [02:13] <mrksbrd> lol @ dr.....oooooopppppssssssssss | |
| [02:13] <genii> from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sound/libvisual-projectm :projectM is an iterative music visualization library which uses OpenGL for hardware acceleration. It is compatible with Milkdrop presets. This package contains a module for libvisual enabling support for projectM. | |
| [02:13] <genii> Although what libvisual is, no idea | |
| [02:14] <arrrghhh> i'd love to get this working with songbird | |
| [02:14] <Daisuke_Ido> genii: amarok uses libvisual for its visualizations | |
| [02:14] <arrrghhh> the new rc3 is pretty solid, now just needs some good addons... ie visualizations | |
| [02:14] <genii> Daisuke_Ido: Ah, nice | |
| [02:14] <arrrghhh> Daisuke_Ido, do you know anything about the qt implementation of projectM? | |
| [02:14] <oscc2007> hia all, i need help on kubuntu software | |
| [02:15] <mrksbrd> ask away | |
| [02:15] <oscc2007> r d developers around? | |
| [02:15] <Daisuke_Ido> arrrghhh: no idea, but with libvisual-projectm installed, you should be able to use it with amarok no problem | |
| [02:15] <oscc2007> the openoffice version on 8.10, is it from Sun or the one from Go-oo? | |
| [02:16] <arrrghhh> oscc2007, sun has a hand in ooo... | |
| [02:16] <arrrghhh> Daisuke_Ido, hrm... ok. i was hopin to get it working with songbird, but i'm sure most people won't be interested in that project until it's 1.0 at least. | |
| [02:17] <jontec> I am trying to figure out the problem with xrandr on 8.10... using the command "xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00"" I am returned "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" | |
| [02:17] <mrksbrd> jontec: what card do u have? | |
| [02:18] <jontec> krandrtray keeps talking about crtc 113 on the command line, so I don't know which crtc is correct... it cannot find the monitor with --crtc 113, and my screen flickers with 113 | |
| [02:18] <astromme_> arrghhh: you probably can't use it with amarok2 though. only 1.4 | |
| [02:18] <oscc2007> jontec: when you typr xrandr, do you see the currently used settings? | |
| [02:18] <jontec> oscc2007: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) ? | |
| [02:18] <jontec> oscc2007: yes | |
| [02:19] <jontec> oscc2007: the output is default (this is a fresh install of 8.10, unfortunately) | |
| [02:19] <jontec> "default", rather | |
| [02:19] <oscc2007> arrrghhh: yes, but i am trying to track down if kubuntu is using the go-oo | |
| [02:19] <oscc2007> jontec: type xrandr, the default should show something like | |
| [02:20] <oscc2007> 1024x768 60.0*+ 50.0 | |
| [02:20] <genii> I think the xrandr problem might be this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6140049 | |
| [02:21] <jontec> oscc2007: it does, but it has 800x600 selected, I had to manually add the 1024x768 mode and this is the mode I'm trying to get working | |
| [02:22] <jontec> oscc2007: 800x600 leaves a huge border between the screen and the actual viewable area of the monitor | |
| [02:22] <juanantonio_> I only get 800*600 in K 8.04 | |
| [02:23] <oscc2007> ohh...thats normal...we use that to put other progs out of the view area. | |
| === maxim is now known as Guest17178 | |
| [02:23] <oscc2007> so other screen can only see the viewable area. | |
| [02:24] <mrksbrd> juanantonio: have u run any updates yet? | |
| [02:24] <Guest17178> test | |
| === Guest17178 is now known as maxim_ | |
| [02:25] <genii> !test | maxim_ | |
| [02:25] <ubottu> maxim_: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | |
| [02:25] <pm2> Hello - I just install intrepid, and have KDE4 installed. I'm noticing that every few seconds, it seems like a couple windows or something flash on the screen just for an instant. Is there anyway to make that stop? | |
| [02:25] <juanantonio_> Yes, I have tried everything to solve this, but no way | |
| [02:26] <oscc2007> can u see the 1024 resolution? even if it flickers | |
| [02:26] <jontec> oscc2007: there is no "other" screen? This is a tablet PC (if that matters), and the monitor I'm referring to is the one physcially attached | |
| [02:26] <pm2> or, failing that, just get back to kde3 | |
| [02:26] <pm2> ? | |
| [02:26] <oscc2007> ic... | |
| [02:27] <jontec> genii, oscc2007: the solution of that article is to install nvidia drivers? | |
| [02:27] <mrksbrd> juanantonio: kmenu......system.....device manager......is your card listed & checked? | |
| [02:27] <genii> jontec: If the issue is related to the nvidia driver in question | |
| [02:28] <genii> jontec: There is also a launchpad bug report regarding radeon HD driver to same effect | |
| [02:28] <juanantonio_> mrk, no problem, I have tried a lot of things and I am really discouraged about this problem having a real solution. My card i an on-board GeForce 7100 | |
| [02:28] <jontec> genii: I don't believe that this computer has an nvidia card | |
| [02:28] <mrksbrd> pm2: 8.10 still has a few video bugs, you may be expieriencing one of them with your video card | |
| [02:29] <dr_willis> Yep - i agree mrksbrd | |
| [02:29] <dr_willis> I belive the 7100 has had issues for a while now.. | |
| [02:29] <jontec> genii: the thing is... all of the shells use to full area of the monitor, it's just X/KDE that doesn't | |
| [02:29] <pm2> So it would be best to revert to KDE 3... is it easy to do that? | |
| [02:29] <jontec> the* | |
| [02:30] <dr_willis> kde3 unofficial repos for 8.10 are in the works i hear.. | |
| [02:32] <pm2> great... release buggy software, and don't make it reasonably easy to install non-buggy software | |
| [02:32] <juanantonio_> What did you say about 7100 issues? Problems soultions? | |
| [02:33] <dr_willis> Theres a few specific # nvidia cards that i recall seeing people in here with problems.. 6500 and 7xxx spring to mind. I would check the forums for your exact card. | |
| [02:33] <genii> jontec: I'm pretty sure the "x" part of xrandr means Xorg ;) | |
| [02:33] <dr_willis> Its possible you need to use some specific version of the nvidia drivers | |
| [02:33] <mrksbrd> pm2: have you tried installing the driver via "envy" | |
| [02:33] <dr_willis> !envyng | |
| [02:33] <ubottu> envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | |
| [02:34] <juanantonio_> I will see about it, because it is some day ago that I cannot get solutions | |

| [02:38] <tboxmy> its always been vlc | |
| [02:38] <binMonkey> agggkkkk! can anyone help me with port forwarding and vuze? vuze says i'm behing a firewall when i've opend ports in ufw, forwarded ports on my dsl modem and my router. | |
| [02:38] <dr_willis> vlc or mplayer here for my needs | |
| [02:39] <dr_willis> even under windows.. | |
| [02:39] <mrksbrd> here here.....except for the windows part....lol | |
| [02:39] <mrksbrd> how dare u | |
| [02:40] <genii> binMonkey: You need to find someone who knows about ufw | |
| [02:40] <dr_willis> or perhaps vuze wants some specific ports you missed | |
| [02:40] <juanantonio_> Thanks, mrk, I will try tomorrow and tell you, in Spain it's almost 4...really late!! | |
| [02:41] <mrksbrd> np | |
| [02:41] <Ashex> only reason i gripe about noatun is because it decided that it would be the default player for all my media | |
| [02:41] <genii> binMonkey: There seems a comprehensive tutorial on ufw here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw | |
| [02:41] <tboxmy> Ashex: they need to review that decision | |
| [02:42] <tboxmy> wow, my parents will be there in spain this dec | |
| [02:42] <Ashex> tboxmy, just a tad | |
| [02:42] <mrksbrd> binmonkey: what router & dsl modem u using? | |
| [02:42] <binMonkey> genii: thanks. i know ufw is ok. i've spent about 2 hours going over that tutorial. the problem is in my modem or router, i think. | |
| [02:43] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: the router is a linksys wrt54gl and and actiontec modem. | |
| [02:43] <mrksbrd> what isp? | |
| [02:44] <mrksbrd> nm i see it | |
| [02:44] <binMonkey> qwest. before i put in the router it worked like a charm. | |
| [02:44] <genii> binMonkey: The Vuze help page says that it is just a new version of Azureus, which is a bittorrent protocol. So you need to forward the torrent port ranges | |
| [02:44] <dr_willis> see if you can set up a DMZ on the router.. so everything from that machine gets forwarded. as a test.. perhaps./ | |
| [02:44] <genii> binMonkey: Which port ranges have you forwarded? | |
| [02:44] <KrispyKreme_> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform-2.html. this only provides a README in the folder. where is the most current one? | |
| [02:44] <mrksbrd> you were sucessful in getting into the router config screen right? | |
| [02:45] <binMonkey> dr_willis: i've seen the dmz setting. but i really don't know what it is. i'll try it. | |
| === draeder is now known as draeder__ | |
| [02:45] <binMonkey> genii: i forwarded 10001 - 10015. | |
| [02:45] <mrksbrd> dmz will open all ports | |
| [02:45] <mrksbrd> incoming & outgoing....it's like not having any firewall | |
| [02:45] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: yikes. i'll try it, just to see. | |
| [02:46] <mrksbrd> temp use iss ok but wouldn't suggest leaving it like that | |
| [02:46] <binMonkey> hold on, guys. and thanks for the help. | |

| [02:46] <setuid_w00t> I'm having problems gettting my microphone to work under Kubuntu. I have my headset plugged into the front of my computer. I can hear audio, but I can't seem to record anything. The microphone works correctly under Windows. | |
| [02:46] <genii> binMonkey: Bittorrent clients normally want instead 6881-6889 | |
| [02:47] <binMonkey> genii: i tried those when i first started torrents but they didn't work. i don't know where i got that 10... range, but it worked. | |
| [02:48] <dr_willis> some specific clients may want those for somthing.. but that range does not sound familer to me... | |
| [02:48] <mrksbrd> binMonkey: vuse uses 30394....tcp & udp.....need to set each one in router | |
| [02:48] <courtjesterg> ok i found it add the .pvl extensions that usually would open in windows and run from your browser. I downloaded wine and downloaded winetricks some i didn't install any downloaded the firefox in winetricks thinking i should them be able to play this game it ask me the same question where to run aand save even if i open it with the browser it just loops back to the save file link | |
| [02:49] <courtjesterg> i looked this up | |
| [02:49] <courtjesterg> http://www.sharpened.net/helpcenter/file_extension.php?pvl | |
| [02:49] * dr_willis has no idea what a .plv even is | |
| [02:49] <courtjesterg> i guess i need this Windows: HPI Instalit | |
| [02:50] <courtjesterg> usually it opens or runs when click it on it | |
| [02:50] <genii> binMonkey: Your router probably uses NAT | |
| [02:50] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: where did you find that? i thought i'd been all over the vuze help pages. | |
| [02:50] <mrksbrd> under tools.....options | |
| [02:50] <courtjesterg> .pvl | |
| [02:50] <mrksbrd> u can change the port to what ever u need/would like | |
| [02:51] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: :( i'm an idiot. | |
| [02:51] <mrksbrd> simple error.....no ? is ever to silly | |
| [02:52] <juanantonio_> Mrk, in this page says Ubuntu, do you think it is the same with Kubuntu? | |
| [02:52] <mrksbrd> just glad I can help....hehehe | |
| [02:52] <mrksbrd> kubuntu is ubuntu | |
| [02:52] <mrksbrd> ubuntu is base system with KDE installed | |
| [02:53] <juanantonio_> Ok, I know it...but I mean, are you sure it will work? | |
| [02:53] <mrksbrd> yup | |
| [02:53] <juanantonio_> Ok, I am tempted to try | |
| [02:55] <mrksbrd> what do u have to loose....still having a shi**y resolution | |
| [02:55] <mrksbrd> hehehe | |
| [02:56] <mrksbrd> juanantonio....you could also try installing it via "envy" | |
| [02:57] <binMonkey> when i set port forwarding on the dsl modem should i set the ip address as the address from the router, 192.168.1.102, or the add from the modem, 192.168.0.3? | |
| [02:58] <mrksbrd> router should set ip it needs to contact router by itself via dhcp....don't mess with that | |
| [02:58] <mrksbrd> we won't see u here anymore | |
| [02:58] <mrksbrd> everything will be done thru port forwarding | |
| [02:58] <mrksbrd> don't adjust any other settings | |
| [02:59] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: no i mean the add of the machine that i'm forwarding to. | |
| [02:59] <binMonkey> mrksbrd: should that be the original 192.168.0.3 or the new 192.168.1.102? | |

| [03:12] <loganWHD> anyone have thoughts with the sound thing? | |
| [03:13] <BluesKaj> Synaptic is a package manager like Adept , except it's more thorough , ...it's a gnome package manager but works well in kde too | |
| [03:13] <mrksbrd> juan get synaptic thru add/remove progs | |
| [03:13] <juanantonio_> Ok | |

| [03:21] <juanantonio_> Ok. I am in Synaptic | |
| [03:21] <juanantonio_> What must I do? Search for EnvyNGQT and Fix broken packages? | |
| [03:21] <BluesKaj> juanantonio_, click on edit | |
| [03:22] <BluesKaj> then if the apply button is highlighted , click on it | |
| [03:23] <binMonkey> ding dang. dmz didn't work. none of the port forwards work. when i put in the router should i have changed any settings in the modem? | |
| [03:24] <BluesKaj> juanantonio_, don't try envy quite yet , trying to use it may make things worse if you have dependency problems | |
| [03:26] <juanantonio_> Ok, I am refreshing packages and then I try to Edit Envy and Apply | |
| [03:26] <loganWHD> anyone find a solution to the mic issues with 8.10 | |
| [03:27] <juanantonio_> No, when I mark Edit, Apply is not highlighted | |
| [03:27] <BluesKaj> ok | |
| [03:33] <juanantonio_> Blue, what should I try? | |
| [03:34] <BluesKaj> juanantonio_, search synaptic for nvidia and look for the driver that fits your card. | |

| [03:42] <loganWHD> so the first line | |
| [03:42] <BluesKaj> 8.04 shouldn't present any probs for your graphics card , juanantonio_...just search the properties on the nvidia drivers listed and find the one that fits | |
| [03:42] <loganWHD> nada | |
| [03:42] <BluesKaj> listed in synaptic, that is | |
| [03:44] <dr_willis> 32bit may have more compatability.. i never used 8.04 64bit.. so cant confirm if its better/worse then 32bit | |

| [05:51] <courtjesterg> it is to my understanding that kopete hasn't added the myspace protocal but pigen has is there a fix to add it to kopete or plugin or pissible to just take it out of pigen and use for kopete | |

| [06:16] <dwidmann> Makuseru: right click on the titlebar of the window, go to configure window behavior (or similar) ... under window specific settings you should be able to force a smaller size | |
| [06:23] <courtjesterg> my mind is ticking to add myspace protocal to kopete | |
| [06:23] <courtjesterg> should be simple if i can get the code | |
| [06:26] <dwidmann> courtjesterg: good luck :) | |
| [06:28] <Makuseru> dwidmann: it didnt make the horizontal any smaller | |
| [06:28] <dwidmann> Makuseru: might have to restart the app | |
| [06:29] <Makuseru> i did | |
| [06:29] <Makuseru> i told it to "maximize vertical and horizontal" | |
| [06:29] <Makuseru> and the vertical maximized, but the horizontal is still to big | |
| [06:30] <dwidmann> Makuseru: specify the geometry instead | |

| [07:03] <shovi> without typing it | |
| [07:03] <dwidmann> shovi: umm, yeah, just edit its entry in the kmenu I guess | |

| [07:18] <ellipsis_> the test on all tabs except the currently selected one is lower than it should be | |

| [08:53] <Deiz> Using the proprietary drivers manager, I'm apparently unable to download and activate drivers for my USB wireless NIC. | |
| [08:54] <Deiz> Hitting Activate will merely turn the entry grey. | |
| [08:59] <jsunio> I had trouble with USB wireless with Puppy. But when I switch to kubuntu it worked right off. | |
| [09:00] <jsunio> It didnt need any drivers | |
| [09:00] <Deiz> Appears I was wrong. | |
| [09:00] <Deiz> It's actually my PCMCIA NIC that needs drivers; Broadcom chipset. | |
| [09:00] <Deiz> The USB NIC is fine, with a Ralink chipset. | |
| [09:02] <jsunio> I have never had to download NIC drivers either. -- How do you know you need drivers for it. Did it tell you? | |

| [09:04] <Deiz> jsunio: Nah. It's just nonfunctional. Trying to activate it through the knetworkmanager GUI is useless | |
| [09:04] <Deiz> iwconfig outputs an error that traces back to not having the appropriate driver. | |
| [09:04] <jsunio> Is the hardware working? Is the green light on in back when you plug in the RJ-45? | |
| === jacob_ is now known as VistaUser | |
| [09:05] <jsunio> Deiz: Or you are using it for wireless or wired? | |
| [09:05] <VistaUser> hey | |
| [09:05] <Deiz> Both the PCMCIA and USB NICs are wireless, the former I bought with the laptop back in '03, the latter was salvaged from a friend. | |
| [09:06] <Deiz> The PCMCIA NIC has WLAN and power LEDs, the latter is lit. | |
| [09:06] <VistaUser> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. what does this mean? | |
| [09:06] <Deiz> So at least it gets power, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with software. | |
| [09:06] <Deiz> Could just be that having PCMCIA support results in PCMCIA devices receiving power. | |

| [09:11] <jsunio> You saying it works on them but not on Kubuntu? | |
| [09:11] <Deiz> However, I like pre-configured distros on the laptop, and I'd like to try KDE4. | |
| [09:11] <Deiz> jsunio: I am. | |

| [09:24] <Deiz> If it's not, and the hard drive is the only salvageable part, you'd need to either get an external enclosure for it, or put it into your current system. | |

| [09:31] <jsunio> simi: any relevant error messages in "dmesg"? | |
| [09:31] <courtjesterg> they have the irc protocal off in kopete | |
| [09:32] <simi> jsunio: no just Connecting.... | |
| [09:32] <Deiz> lokai: I'd tell you to copy the contents to a new instance of kpdf, but that's not exactly possible. | |
| [09:32] <VistaUser> jsunio: how i get WineHQ? | |
| [09:32] <Deiz> Seems like it'd be easiest to re-download the PDFs, if you can. | |
| [09:32] <Adola> Thank you Diez. Ilooked at walmart for FIrewire cables...Is that the same thing? | |
| [09:32] <VistaUser> is there a command for termanel? | |
| [09:32] <jsunio> VistaUser: never heard of it, try google | |
| [09:32] <VistaUser> ok | |
| [09:32] <jsunio> simi: have most recent version? | |
| [09:32] <lokai> Deiz: Yeah I guess. Does this not count as a bug? I mean, is that really intended behavior? | |
| [09:33] <Deiz> Adola: Nope. Essentially, the pins on a crossover cable are inverted on one end, so it's the same as an ethernet cable, but backwards. | |
| [09:33] <Deiz> They're necessary when you don't have a router or switch and want to connect two machines | |
| [09:33] <jsunio> You can make your own crossover cable from a regular cable | |
| [09:33] <simi> jsunio: yes, i tried same pidgin version of pidgin in windows and it works | |
| [09:33] <Adola> VustaUser: Use Wine. And just follow the lil' wizard that starts up. You have to browse to your Windows partition. | |
| [09:33] <Deiz> lokai: Yeah, I'd file a bug. | |
| [09:34] <Adola> You can? A regular Ethernet? I can get hold of an Ethernet pretty easy. | |
| [09:34] <jsunio> simi: I would try it using a different distro--maybe live CD--it could be something else goofy installed. | |
| [09:35] <jsunio> (sorry sleep) | |
| [09:36] <Deiz> lokai: So what'd you do? Load PDF from your browser into kpdf, then eventually the PDFs in /tmp were overwritten and now you can't save them? | |
| [09:36] <maxim__> I've installed Martian drivers (i have winmodem). It works! i can, for example, download files via wget or open sites via elinks. But Konqueror doesn't work with this connection. Can smbd tell me why? | |
| [09:36] <VistaUser> anyone know How to Install Beryl with latest nvidia drivers in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn | |
| [09:37] <Adola> You should just be able to use Adept. | |
| [09:37] <Adola> Or Synaptic. | |
| [09:37] <Adola> And. It's called Emerald now. | |
| [09:37] <VistaUser> oo ok | |
| [09:37] <Adola> VistaUser: It's called Emerald. I think...:/ But, use it. It's great. | |
| [09:37] <lokai> Deiz: Yes exactly. | |
| === antonio_ is now known as estres | |
| [09:37] <VistaUser> yah it looks neat | |
| [09:38] <Adola> VistaUser: And your probabbly looking for the goodness of Compiz Fusion. SO..Get, Compiz as well. | |
| [09:38] <Deiz> lokai: Giving it a shot to see if I can reproduce it. | |
| [09:38] <VistaUser> ok | |
| [09:38] <lokai> using KDE 3, fyi | |
| [09:38] <Adola> VistaUser: It's what I use to inpress my friends to Ubuntu | |
| [09:39] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [09:39] <VistaUser> i love ubuntu with nvidia graphics | |
| [09:39] <VistaUser> it looks pleasing | |
| [09:39] <Adola> nVidia graphics? Graphics are graphics. | |
| [09:39] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [09:39] <VistaUser> true | |
| [09:39] <Adola> Oh, and don't be such a nVidia slave...ATi has better hardware...nVidia is just supported better IMHO. | |
| [09:40] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [09:40] <VistaUser> jealous arent we lol | |
| [09:40] <VistaUser> j/k | |
| [09:40] <Adola> Oh...And why are you in a Kubuntu IRC with a name like "VistaUser"? Just wondering? | |
| [09:40] <VistaUser> anything else i should get to enhance ubuntu | |
| [09:40] <VistaUser> >>?? | |
| [09:40] <Deiz> lokai: Wasn't kpdf replaced with okular? | |
| [09:40] <Adola> That's kinda like going into an all-black chat room with the name "KKK" | |
| [09:41] <VistaUser> idk lol i just havent found another name | |
| [09:41] <lokai> Deiz: Using KDE3 | |
| [09:41] <Adola> Well....To enhance further. Compiz, Emerald, | |
| [09:41] <Deiz> I see. | |
| [09:41] <VistaUser> Adola: anything else to enhance ubuntu?> | |
| [09:41] <lokai> (can't stand KDE4...so buggy) | |
| [09:41] <VistaUser> oo ok | |
| [09:41] <Adola> VistaUser: AmaroK | |
| [09:41] <VistaUser> whats that? | |
| [09:42] <Adola> VistaUser: It's the best multimedia player IMO. | |
| [09:42] <VistaUser> oo ok | |
| [09:42] <Adola> Google it. They are FINALLY coming out with AmaroK 2..Even though it's in Release candidate form righ tnow. | |
| [09:42] <Adola> Also. Firefox...It's JUST as good on here as on windows. | |
| [09:42] <VistaUser> brb | |
| [09:42] <Adola> Oh, and do you IM? | |
| [09:42] <Adola> Ok. | |
| [09:43] <lokai> Thanks for talking, Deiz | |
| [09:44] <knusperfrosch> hi! | |
| [09:44] <knusperfrosch> anyone running knetworkmanager 0.2 (=hardy) insted of 0.7 on intrepid? | |
| [09:45] <Adola> No, sorry. | |
| [09:45] <knusperfrosch> from the point of usability: knetworkmanager 0.7 just sucks... | |
| [09:46] <Adola> I'm sorry I can't help you. | |
| [09:46] <VistaUser> back | |
| [09:46] <Deiz> knusperfrosch: I have yet to find a graphical networking tool that I can tolerate. | |
| [09:46] <VistaUser> ok what was that about IM? | |
| [09:47] <VistaUser> Adola: what was that about IM | |
| [09:47] <Adola> Do you? Do you Instant Message? | |
| [09:47] <VistaUser> yah | |
| [09:48] <VistaUser> MSN | |
| [09:48] <knusperfrosch> Deiz: well kneworkmanager 0.2 did it quite well, only screwed up if you travel around and pass hundreds of wlans, makes the UI quite a mess, but at home or somewere else it did it's job quite well | |
| [09:48] <Adola> Ok. I'm sorry Ubuntu/Kubuntu...MSN Plus CANNOT BE BEAT...It IS the BEST IM program...BUT, If your looking for a nice program like that for Ubuntu...Then Pidgin... | |
| [09:49] <Adola> It's the standard for IM. There are otherones that are supposed to be like MSN...But, they suck...They really do...The only good one is Pidgin. It comes with alot of plugins. | |
| [09:49] <VistaUser> so what i download lol | |
| [09:49] <Adola> Do this. | |
| [09:49] * faileas uses kopete, which is ok ;p | |
| [09:49] <faileas> oh, and is default in KDE ;) | |
| [09:49] <Adola> Click what would be the "Start" button..Click Add/remove programs. And search "Pidgin" | |
| [09:50] <Adola> yeah, but VistaUser is uing Ubuntu... | |
| [09:50] <Deiz> But that's tedious | |
| [09:50] <Deiz> sudo apt-get install pidgin | |
| [09:50] <VistaUser> i want to use KDE but someone said to hard to setup LOL | |
| [09:50] <Adola> And...Pidgin is better than Kopete in my opinion....BUTTTTT, I'm using kopete now. | |
| [09:50] <faileas> lol | |
| [09:50] <Adola> (That's why I said the easy way. I don't think our friend here is prolific enough to use Kommand) | |
| [09:51] <Adola> Speaking of which my addy is atiradeonman@hotmail.com if anyone want's to add me ;D | |
| [09:51] <VistaUser> yah | |
| [09:51] <VistaUser> i am new at it | |
| [09:51] <faileas> Adola: its something he REALLY needs to learn. very first thing too... | |
| [09:51] * faileas can't remember what the gnome terminal emulator is called | |
| [09:51] <Adola> Yeah, your right....I knowww.... | |
| [09:51] <Adola> Terminal. | |
| [09:52] <faileas> of course, if he was using kubuntu i'd suggest installing yakuake | |
| [09:52] <Adola> That's it. | |
| [09:52] <Adola> :D Very creative :D | |
| [09:52] <knusperfrosch> anyone running kde 4.2beta1? | |
| [09:52] <VistaUser> so what i do LOL | |
| [09:52] <faileas> (there's a gnome equivilent but i can unabashedly say, its aweful compared to yakuake) | |
| [09:52] <Adola> What's Yakuake? I'm using Kubuntu? (I couldn't stand that damn foot anymore...) | |
| [09:52] <faileas> Adola: its a drop down quake style terminal emulator | |
| [09:52] <Adola> knusperfroshshshsh: No, not yet. But. I'm considering it. | |
| [09:52] <Deiz> knusperfrosch: Briefly. Crash-city, which is saying something because I find 4.1 to be fairly unstable in itself. | |
| [09:53] <Adola> AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH | |
| [09:53] <faileas> Adola: its a HUGE time saver if you use the terminal a fair bit | |
| [09:53] <VistaUser> how i get faileas | |
| [09:53] <Adola> i've yet to hit a snag with 4.1...I think I've had maybe.....2? | |
| [09:53] <Adola> How you get what? | |
| [09:54] <VistaUser> that Yakuake | |
| [09:54] <knusperfrosch> Deiz: jupp, but i thaught it couldn't get any worse | |
| [09:54] <knusperfrosch> Deiz: just looking for the kde4 networkmanager | |
| [09:55] <Adola> Oh...yeah, I don't understand what you mean by Drop Down Quake style...Do you mean...Like...In games you press "Tab" and a lil box pops down from the top. with one of theses? ">" and you go on from there? | |
| [09:55] <VistaUser> is there like something like task manager?? | |
| [09:55] <faileas> VistaUser: if you're on the gnome desktop, i suggest asking help on #ubuntu as opposed to #kubuntu. In either case find terminal (or gnome) or konsole (on KDE) | |
| [09:55] <VistaUser> ctrl + alt+ delete | |
| [09:56] <faileas> hmm | |
| [09:56] * faileas generally uses the command 'top' from cli for that. | |
| [09:56] <Adola> ~Blushes~ Actually...I too have wondered taht. | |
| [09:56] <faileas> there's also system monitor | |
| [09:56] <Deiz> faileas: Ever try htop? | |
| [09:56] <Deiz> I prefer it greatly. | |
| [09:57] <Adola> I use to be a Windows user as well...And (when 8.10 came out, it was a 6 month anniversary with Linux for me) I still don't know if there is one.... | |
| [09:57] <faileas> ... gah, a little OT, but is there a repartitioner for systems with VERY low memory? | |
| [09:57] <faileas> Deiz: stuff like that is why i hang around here. no, and i shall take a poke at it | |
| [09:57] <Deiz> You could just use fdisk | |
| [09:57] <Deiz> It's not exactly user friendly compared to gparted/qtparted | |
| [09:57] <faileas> Deiz: it resizes? | |
| [09:58] <VistaUser> whats difference between kubuntu and ubuntu i thought the same | |
| [09:58] <faileas> ya, got a box with 128 mb of ram i need to resize the hard drive on. its currently running win98 ;p | |
| [09:58] <faileas> VistaUser: the desktop manager | |
| [09:58] <Adola> Ok, I need help. | |
| [09:58] <faileas> and what software is on by default | |
| [09:58] <Deiz> I don't recall if it can resize. | |
| [09:59] <VistaUser> which u prefer faileas? | |
| [09:59] <Adola> Ubuntu runs of Gnome. Kubuntu runs off KDE....I know, it's hard....Google it. | |
| [09:59] <Adola> .....Kubuntu... | |
| [09:59] <Adola> Notice the room. | |
| [09:59] <faileas> VistaUser: Kubuntu, *but* i recommend trying out a few varients till you find one you like | |
| [09:59] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [09:59] <VistaUser> oo ok | |
| [09:59] <faileas> i'm thinking of getting a lxde box up actually ;p | |
| [10:00] <Adola> There is Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu. Lots of them :D | |
| [10:00] <VistaUser> i guess i need to get used to commands and what not before taking a step up | |
| [10:00] <faileas> VistaUser: it will make your life a lot easier | |
| [10:00] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [10:00] <Adola> Yeah. And if you run programs from terminals..You can see outputs easier..And find wehre problems are! | |
| [10:00] <Deiz> faileas: Why not take it a step further and use a WM? | |
| [10:00] <Adola> Ok. Can someone please help me now?!?!? | |
| [10:00] <faileas> you can also pastebin outputs, and copy and paste commands ;p | |
| [10:01] <VistaUser> is there a button so terminal automatically pops up? | |
| [10:01] <faileas> Deiz: well its a system thats gonna be used by people other than me ;p | |
| [10:01] <Deiz> Aww. | |
| [10:01] <Deiz> My main system boots to runlevel 3. | |
| [10:01] <Adola> Yeah, It's under....."Start">System>Terminal. | |
| [10:02] <VistaUser> kk | |
| [10:02] <Adola> Ok...I've JUST started using IRC. And...I ONLY have Kubuntu and Kubuntu-offtopic...How do I add rooms? | |
| [10:02] <faileas> Deiz: its a little annoying since its old, and it dosen't have ethernet | |
| [10:02] <Adola> http://searchirc.com/irc-Final%20Fantasy-1 | |
| [10:02] <faileas> Adola: /join roomname | |
| [10:02] <faileas> oh yay, got parted magic working <3 | |
| [10:02] <Adola> How do I add one of these rooms? I promise it's not porn or something dnagerous. | |
| [10:03] <Adola> I just like final fantasy a WHOLE lot...And found theses rooms...How do I...Add them? | |
| [10:03] <VistaUser> i can find download link for WineHq | |
| [10:03] <faileas> Adola: like, you want to autoconnect to them? | |
| [10:03] <Adola> Ummmm No? I guess just connect when I want to. | |
| [10:03] <Adola> I doon't even know how to connect to these rooms. | |
| [10:03] <faileas> VistaUser: IIRC winehq has its own apt repository, and instructions | |
| [10:04] <faileas> Adola: /join #roomname ;p | |
| [10:04] <VistaUser> oo cool | |
| [10:05] <VistaUser> i like ubuntu its a challenge | |
| [10:05] <faileas> VistaUser: i'd also suggest adding medibuntu - it has a load of useful stuff | |
| [10:05] <Adola> irc:// #final-fantasy | |
| [10:05] <faileas> Adola: /join #final-fantasy | |
| [10:05] <VistaUser> medibuntu is that in Synaptic package thing? | |
| [10:06] <simi> jsunio: i tried pidgin from ubuntu 8.04 live cd and kopete from 8.10 kubuntu live cd and it have the same problems, do not connect | |
| [10:06] <faileas> VistaUser: no, its an additional 'repository' of software they can't or won't have in the default distribution | |
| [10:06] <VistaUser> oo got to find in google | |
| [10:06] <Adola> Medibuntu is very usefull. I recommend. Besides..Who doesn't love Google earth? | |
| [10:07] <VistaUser> lol | |
| [10:07] <Adola> Ok, I'm having problems...On the website..It says there are liked 2-6 current users...When I type /join and the rooom..I'm the only one in there. | |
| [10:07] <VistaUser> i miss google chrome | |
| [10:07] <Deiz> Err, what website? | |
| [10:08] <Adola> www.searchirc.com | |
| [10:08] <faileas> Adola: ... wait... what server is it supposed to be on? | |
| [10:08] <Deiz> There's your problem. | |
| [10:09] <Deiz> Sites that track IRC member counts often only poll every X minutes, so the data is often old. | |
| [10:09] <Deiz> Also, faileas likely has a point. | |
| [10:09] <Adola> Ohhh! Oke! | |
| [10:10] <Adola> I don't know what server. | |
| [10:10] <Adola> That's what I was asking. | |
| [10:10] <VistaUser> how do u change theme and what not of the OS?? | |
| [10:10] <Adola> How do I join...Anything? | |
| [10:11] <Deiz> Adola: If it's on the same server, /j #channel will open a new tab for that channel | |
| [10:11] <Deiz> If it's on a different server, you need to connect to that server to be able to use that channel. | |
| [10:12] <Adola> Ohhh...Well, how do I know what server it is? (I know how to add them searching the interface here on Konverstaion) | |
| [10:12] <VistaUser> oo yah i need to get my wireless up and running | |
| [10:13] <Deiz> Adola: What channel are you looking for? | |
| === Roy_Muzz is now known as Roy_M | |
| [10:14] <VistaUser> got to reboot to make changes right? | |
| [10:14] <Adola> http://searchirc.com/irc-Final%20Fantasy-1 | |
| [10:14] <Adola> Any of these. | |
| [10:14] <Adola> What "Server" are these on? | |
| [10:15] <Deiz> Server == Network | |
| [10:15] <Deiz> So GameSurge, IRC-Hispano, EsperNet etc. | |
| [10:15] <maggo79> hi. Are there kde 4.2 beta 1 packages available for intrepid? | |
| [10:15] <Adola> Those are the servers? | |
| [10:16] <Deiz> Yep | |

| [10:20] <VistaUser> which Binary packages of medibuntu do i need? | |
| [10:23] <VistaUser> ? | |
| [10:23] <Deiz> VistaUser: That's up to you. | |
| [10:24] <VistaUser> ooo is it any importance?? | |
| [10:24] <Deiz> Medibuntu is an extra repository that contains packages that may be useful to you, but they can't be distributed in the normal repositories due to legal issues, generally speaking. | |
| [10:24] <VistaUser> oo kk | |
| [10:25] <Deiz> Adobe Acrobat, Google Earth, mplayer, Skype to name a few. | |
| [10:25] <VistaUser> kk | |
| [10:25] <VistaUser> anything else recommened? | |
| [10:25] <VistaUser> i going to restart computer soon thats y | |
| [10:26] <Deiz> Not really. Medibuntu's a small repository with a few oft-requested packages. | |
| [10:26] <VistaUser> oo kk | |

| [10:35] <VistaUser> brb | |
| [10:35] <dddfhree> Deiz: wintv usb | |
| [10:39] <Deiz> dddfhree: From what I'm reading, you need to copy firmware. | |

| [10:42] <dddfhree> i did modprobe usbvision then installed tvtime | |
| [10:43] <dddfhree> Deiz: lsusb says Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0573:4d21 Zoran Co. Personal Media Division (Nogatech) Hauppauge WinTV-USB II (PAL) | |

| [10:51] <Deiz> VistaUser: You can download any Windows executable. | |

| [10:52] <[360]mattzke[h]> Can u tell me? | |
| [10:52] <[360]mattzke[h]> How? | |
| [10:53] <gordon125> hi | |
| [10:53] <Deiz> By default, most distributions will detect your Windows partition and resize it to a fraction of the drive. | |
| [10:53] <gordon125> are there kde 4.2 beta 1 packages for intrepid? | |
| [10:53] <[360]mattzke[h]> OK | |
| [10:53] <[360]mattzke[h]> so | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> if i put my kubuntu disc in | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> what will happen? | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> I'm a n00b :D | |
| [10:54] <Deiz> You'll want to boot into the live environment, and hit Install Kubuntu. | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> When i install it | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> will it overwrite | |
| [10:54] <Deiz> Yes. | |
| [10:54] <[360]mattzke[h]> my | |
| [10:54] <Deiz> No, it won't. | |
| [10:55] <[360]mattzke[h]> Local Disk C:? | |
| [10:55] <Deiz> Are you wanting to use Kubuntu 8.04 or 8.10? | |
| [10:55] <[360]mattzke[h]> 8.10 | |
| [10:55] <[360]mattzke[h]> is wat im d/ling | |
| [10:56] <Deiz> Okay. | |
| [10:56] <[360]mattzke[h]> So it will work? | |
| [10:56] <Deiz> I'm booting the LiveCD now to check that my memory of the installer is correct | |
| [10:56] <[360]mattzke[h]> ok | |
| [10:56] <[360]mattzke[h]> do u have multiple comps? | |
| [10:56] <Deiz> Yes, but I'm loading the LiveCD in a virtual machine. | |
| [10:57] <gordon125> [360]mattzke[h]: boot up from cd, hit install kubuntu, system is asking for country, name, password and then it ask where to install on. There you have to choose on witch partition to install on. | |
| [10:57] <[360]mattzke[h]> Whats the differnece between Live CD and the normal one? | |
| [10:57] <gordon125> the live cd is the normal one | |
| [10:57] <[360]mattzke[h]> Partition? | |
| === gordon125 is now known as serenity | |
| [10:57] <[360]mattzke[h]> as i said | |
| [10:57] <[360]mattzke[h]> just take it easy with me :D | |
| [10:57] <Deiz> The Live CD loads a fully-functional environment that you can fiddle around with before installing. | |
| [10:58] <Deiz> The alternate install CD is just a text-installer. | |
| [10:58] <serenity> and with the live cd you can play with AND install kubuntu | |
| [10:58] <Deiz> Essentially, your current hard drive is one large partition, which contains Windows and all of your files. | |
| [10:58] <[360]mattzke[h]> Yep | |
| [10:58] <[360]mattzke[h]> True | |
| [10:58] <Deiz> The Kubuntu installer will want to resize that partition and create a second one. | |
| [10:59] <Deiz> Trouble is, it's greedy. It'll make your Windows partition as small as it needs to be, which is a problem if you intend to use more disk space on your Windows partition in future. | |
| [10:59] <[360]mattzke[h]> So what it will like cut my ahrd drive down and make a new 1? | |
| [10:59] <[360]mattzke[h]> Yea well | |
| [10:59] <Deiz> Something like that. | |
| [10:59] <[360]mattzke[h]> thats what i want to do lol | |
| [10:59] <[360]mattzke[h]> :S | |
| [11:00] <[360]mattzke[h]> Is there anyway to stop that>? | |
| [11:01] <Deiz> Yes. | |
| [11:01] <[360]mattzke[h]> How :D | |
| [11:01] <Deiz> You can manually make your Windows partition as large or small as you want it to be. | |
| [11:01] <[360]mattzke[h]> How does that work? | |
| [11:01] <Deiz> It's quite user friendly, the installer presents you with a graphical bar representing your hard drive. | |
| [11:01] <[360]mattzke[h]> Yep | |
| [11:01] <Deiz> You can drag it over so that Windows takes up 75% of your hard drive, etcetera. | |
| [11:01] <[360]mattzke[h]> Yep | |
| [11:02] <[360]mattzke[h]> So if windows takes up 100% | |
| [11:02] <[360]mattzke[h]> I wouldnt be able to install kubuntu? | |
| [11:03] <Deiz> Yes, if 100% of the disk was full, you would need to delete some things to be able to resize. | |
| [11:03] <[360]mattzke[h]> Ok hang on | |
| [11:03] <[360]mattzke[h]> ill check what mine is | |
| [11:03] <[360]mattzke[h]> :D | |
| [11:03] <Deiz> Ideally, you want at least 3-4GB for a Kubuntu install. | |
| [11:04] <serenity> if there is free space left you can resize the space windows needs and kubuntu will install on the rest | |
| [11:04] <[360]mattzke[h]> i have | |
| [11:04] <[360]mattzke[h]> 183 gb free | |
| [11:04] <[360]mattzke[h]> :S | |
| [11:04] <serenity> should be quite enough ;) | |
| [11:04] <[360]mattzke[h]> So what will i have to do | |
| [11:04] <[360]mattzke[h]> ? | |
| [11:04] <serenity> resize windows, so that kubuntu has 20gb or such | |
| [11:05] <[360]mattzke[h]> I mean | |
| [11:05] <[360]mattzke[h]> when i run the installation | |
| [11:05] <Deiz> Just follow the installer, it's very intuitive. | |
| [11:05] <Deiz> Other than prompting you for your name, location, and partitioning, it's entirely hands-off. | |
| [11:06] <[360]mattzke[h]> Uhh | |
| [11:06] <[360]mattzke[h]> i jsut downloaded it | |
| [11:06] <[360]mattzke[h]> its | |
| [11:06] <[360]mattzke[h]> a zip file but it has .iso | |
| === francesco_ is now known as bianconero | |
| [11:07] <Deiz> Extract the ISO out of it, then burn the ISO to a CD with your burning software. | |
| [11:07] <[360]mattzke[h]> Where would the iso be | |
| [11:07] <[360]mattzke[h]> cant seem to find it | |
| [11:07] <serenity> [360]mattzke[h]: how is the file called you downloaded? | |
| [11:08] <[360]mattzke[h]> kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso | |
| [11:08] <[360]mattzke[h]> its coming up as a zip though | |
| [11:08] <[360]mattzke[h]> ? | |
| [11:08] <serenity> take this iso and burn it to disk | |
| === [360]mattzke[h] is now known as mattzke | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> I cant find the iso though | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> :S | |
| [11:09] <serenity> kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso is the iso | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> Yea | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> but on my comp | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> its coming up as a zip file | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> ? | |
| [11:09] <mattzke> and cant burn it | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> Ok | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> never mind | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> What shuld i burn it to | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> a DVD | |
| [11:10] <serenity> cd | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> or CD? | |
| [11:10] <mattzke> ok thanks | |
| [11:11] <serenity> should be around 700mb, so a cd is ok | |
| [11:11] <serenity> here a video tutorial for installation:http://www.linux.com/var/uploads/Media/flash/Kubuntu-install-to-hard-drive.swf | |
| [11:11] <mattzke> yea its 699 | |
| [11:11] <mattzke> Ok thanks aloty | |
| [11:12] <mattzke> When i turn the comp off | |
| [11:12] <VistaUser> how do i change the theme of ubuntu? | |
| [11:12] <mattzke> will | |
| [11:12] <mattzke> it | |
| [11:12] <mattzke> boot from cd? | |
| [11:13] <VistaUser> anyone?? | |
| [11:13] <Deiz> VistaUser: Under GNOME, System -> Preferences -> Appearance or something. | |
| [11:13] <Deiz> mattzke: That depends on your system. | |
| [11:13] <mattzke> ahh k | |
| [11:13] <VistaUser> oo i mean were can i get the themes | |
| [11:13] <Deiz> By default, most systems do. | |
| [11:13] <mattzke> yea | |
| [11:13] <mattzke> havent changed anything | |
| [11:13] <mattzke> so yea | |
| [11:13] <VistaUser> i went to a site with themes but idk how to make the thing recognize them and allow me to use | |
| [11:13] <Deiz> In the event it doesn't try hitting F12 while at the BIOS screen, which will likely bring up a boot menu letting you choose from CD / Hard Drive / Floppy etc. | |
| [11:14] <Deiz> VistaUser: IIRC it's drag-and-drop. | |
| [11:14] <VistaUser> oooo | |
| [11:14] <serenity> or on some systems f2 | |
| [11:14] <mattzke> ok ta | |
| [11:14] <Deiz> serenity: I wish that were standardized. | |
| [11:14] <serenity> Deiz: me too, but why should they? Is written on startup ;) | |
| [11:15] <Deiz> Not in the BIOS of my P133 laptop. :) | |
| [11:15] <Deiz> Takes 10s to finish boot checks. I have yet to dedicate time to finding out how to enter the BIOS. | |
| [11:15] <karan> how do you increase the half ions in kubuntuopen connect | |
| [11:16] <faileas> Deiz: i just hit random buttons till it works ;p | |
| [11:16] <karan> how do you increase the half open connections in kubuntu | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> Deiz | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> so | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> when i install | |
| [11:17] <Deiz> faileas: Heh. It's prone to odd errors, after which it loads a GUI strikingly similar to twm. | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> and it comes up to the partition screen | |
| [11:17] <serenity> Deiz: rebooting and trying | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> Do i | |
| [11:17] <mattzke> Do it manual | |
| [11:18] <mattzke> so i can choose how much disk space its going to take up? | |
| [11:18] <Deiz> You're fine to do it with "Guided: Resize existing partitions", which is the default | |
| [11:18] <Deiz> It'll give you a percentage of the disk as well as actual space usage. | |
| [11:18] <mattzke> I don't want it to take up all the 183 gb on my harddrive | |
| [11:18] <karan> how do you increase the half open connections in kubuntu | |
| [11:19] <Deiz> It'll have something like [Windows NTFS ]|[ Kubuntu 8.10], and you can drag the divider to change the space usage. | |
| [11:19] <serenity> karan: what do you mean with half open? | |
| [11:19] * serenity wants to have kde4.2 packages :( | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> SO it won't take my windows off? | |
| [11:20] <Deiz> It won't. | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> Ok | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> here | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> goes | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> the INSTALLATION | |
| [11:20] <Deiz> serenity: I want a laptop that isn't a heat-producing mongrel. | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> THE INSTALLATION* | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> lol | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> ill | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> bbs | |
| [11:20] <mattzke> :D | |
| [11:20] <serenity> Deiz: but packages for beta1 are more realistic ;) | |
| [11:20] <Deiz> The P133 laptop is perpetually cool, the P4 2.53GHz laptop is perpetually 50+ C, with a freshly cleaned heatsink. | |
| [11:21] <Deiz> Prior to my knowing that it had a block of dust half an inch thick on the heatsink, it'd idle at 65c and overheat with everything except window managers. :D | |
| [11:21] <faileas> Deiz: PIV laptops had SERIOUS heating issues. | |
| [11:22] <Deiz> Indeed. And mine's one of the worst, an Inspiron 5100. | |
| [11:22] * faileas can actually keep his c2d on his lap with no issues ;p | |
| [11:22] <Deiz> Eh, you might fry your nuts eventually. | |
| [11:22] <serenity> faileas: for how long ;) | |
| [11:22] <faileas> i'm trying to work on a PIII 733, but its being a pain | |
| [11:22] <faileas> serenity: ~4-5 hours at a stretch ;p | |
| [11:22] <webas> is there any way to reset 4.0 kde interface? :\ | |
| [11:23] <elwood> hi guys | |
| [11:23] <Deiz> webas: Doubtlessly, but I'm not sure which configuration files you'd be removing to achieve that. | |
| [11:23] <elwood> i want to try kde-nightly ....i have to remove my default kde version? | |
| [11:24] <webas> Deiz - http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/4874/nu2922sa7.jpg this is my problem.. no icons showing on bottom line | |
| [11:24] <Deiz> elwood: I would assume so. You can't have concurrent KDE3.5 and KDE4, I'd assume the same is true for KDE4 / KDE4dev | |
| [11:24] <elwood> Deiz: well so it wil bve a long day :) | |
| [11:25] <elwood> Deiz: thanks | |
| [11:25] <Deiz> webas: Is your right menu/clock/systray normally on the right? | |
| [11:26] <webas> yes its oldschool kmenu on right i prefer to use that.. sometimes i use new kmenu...but all programs firefox dolphin any..wont show icons normally..so from right all stuff went to left.. :| | |
| [11:26] <webas> i changed users - and another user has no problems.. | |
| [11:26] <Deiz> webas: I think, since your panel is otherwise working normally, your window list has been deleted/removed. | |
| [11:26] <webas> ye ye maybe..hm strange how..but ..well how to enable ? | |

| [11:33] <no1peacedragon> In synaptic package manager can i clear out Not Installed (residual config)? I had upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid | |
| [11:35] <Deiz> no1peacedragon: Yes. That merely means that the configuration files for removed packages still exist. By removing them you'll save a few kilobytes per package, probably. | |
| [11:35] <Deiz> To remove them, you need to do a Complete Uninstall. | |

| [13:25] <elwood> silvester01: thanks, i update ti nightly and get no menu | |
| [13:25] <elwood> silvester01: but now i have chance :) | |
| [13:25] <silvester01> the file type handling is only for file endings | |
| [13:26] <silvester01> ok | |
| [13:26] <matisse> when using windoze, yes | |
| [13:26] <matisse> but .txt is also opened with qtiplot | |
| [13:28] <matisse> but I know where I could change the settings correctly | |
| [13:29] <silvester01> you can handle the problem with a startskript | |
| [13:29] <silvester01> wait a second | |
| [13:30] <matisse> changed it in konqueror settings | |
| [13:30] <matisse> or wait | |
| [13:30] <matisse> do you thought I have dolphin ? | |
| [13:30] <matisse> did you think | |
| [13:32] <matisse> whats with that file ? | |
| [13:33] <silvester01> this, must be the correct start skript, you must change the txt file programm and the name | |
| [13:34] <matisse> as you see it doesnt work | |
| [13:34] <matisse> du musst angemeldet sein bei Freenode | |

| [13:47] <koperton> :'( | |
| [13:47] <koperton> nobodu has ideas to disable this http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=konquerorasksenddt1.jpg | |
| [13:48] <koperton> *nobody | |
| [13:51] <matisse> silvester01: wb :) | |
| [13:51] <matisse> so, but where should I "put" it ? | |
| [13:52] <maxbaldwin> koperton: Konqueror --> Preferences --> Browse through the download section. | |
| [13:52] <matisse> silvester01: sending files on freenode only works if you're registered | |
| [13:53] <koperton> maxbaldwin: download section? mm i have not i have java javscript cache | |
| [13:53] <koperton> and that stuff | |
| [13:56] <koperton> maxbaldwin: i am blind where is preferences i have only configure konquerror | |
| [13:57] <maxbaldwin> koperton: well after some looking around, I didn't find a download section either. | |
| [13:58] <maxbaldwin> So I dunno. :\ | |
| [13:58] <koperton> sigh | |
| [13:58] <maxbaldwin> but it's just a click of _one_ button, so it's not that much in the way. | |
| [14:02] <koperton> maxbaldwin: mm well it's not this the point because i get error from server | |
| [14:03] <maxbaldwin> oh... no idea then. :\ | |

| [14:04] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kde 4.2 | |
| [14:05] <koperton> instead with firefox you have nto to answer to that question i think it's this cuz firefox can upload and konqueror not | |
| [14:06] <VistaUser> what is default display manager??? gdm or kdm | |
| [14:07] <JontheEchidna> it doesn't really matter | |
| [14:07] <JontheEchidna> except that one uses the kubuntu theme and the other uses ubuntu's theme | |
| [14:07] <VistaUser> so kdm is kubuntu theme? | |
| [14:10] <knusperfrosch> kdm theme? take a look at solar mania | |

| [14:25] <Cugel> Hello people. | |
| [14:25] <gg> hello :) | |
| === NikLP is now known as NikLP|awaaaay | |
| [14:25] <ActionParsnip> hi Cugel | |
| [14:26] <Cugel> I'm running Kubuntu Intrepid. Was wondering how I can 'upgrade' to the KDE 4.2 beta. Any repos? | |
| [14:26] <bentob0x> lol, I was about to ask the same | |
| [14:26] <tkstka> what was the command for checking your systems upgrade number? | |
| [14:26] <bentob0x> CAN'T WAIT FOR KDE4.2!!! | |
| [14:26] <vbgunz> the icons in my system tray sometimes lose there transparency... the background turns white... on a black task bar... I see this all the time. anyone know whats happening? | |
| [14:26] <ActionParsnip> Cugel: i doubt it, i think you will have to compile | |
| [14:26] <Cugel> tray = buggy | |
| [14:26] <bentob0x> is it hard ActionParsnip? | |
| [14:26] <ActionParsnip> vbgunz: mine do that too, i'm over it | |
| [14:27] <acemo> Cugel: as long as there isn't any post on kubuntu.org about 4.2 then u wont be able to get em from repos. | |
| [14:27] <ActionParsnip> bentob0x: as long as you have the dependancies its flawless | |
| [14:27] <Cugel> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/247393 | |
| [14:27] <ActionParsnip> !compile | bentob0x | |
| [14:27] <bentob0x> nice | |
| [14:27] <ubottu> bentob0x: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | |
| [14:27] <Cugel> anyone running the beta? | |
| [14:28] <ActionParsnip> Cugel: im sitting on 4.1 for now | |
| [14:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas | |
| [14:30] <tkstka> what command I get to know what versio number my Kubuntu is? | |
| [14:30] <acemo> echo 'uname -a'? | |
| [14:31] <vbgunz> "CTRL+ALT+F1" + "CTRL+ALT+F7" ... heh, works but is an insane workaround... thanks Cugel | |
| [14:33] <tkstka> what is a good torrent program for kubuntu? | |
| [14:33] <vbgunz> tkstka: I do not believe there is any command that will tell you -> Hardy, Inteprid or Jaunty, etc... nor 8.04, 8.10, 9.04... its something you just have to know | |
| [14:33] <bentob0x> tkstka: ktorrent | |
| [14:33] <bentob0x> !ktorrent | tkstka | |
| [14:33] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ktorrent | |
| [14:33] <bentob0x> ^^ | |
| [14:34] <vbgunz> another way is to go to system help and check about kubuntu | |
| === NikLP|awaaaay is now known as NikLP | |
| [14:34] <Dragonath> how come 'sh /home/user/nwn/nwn' works in a terminal window but doesnt work once I paste the command into the k menu editor? | |
| [14:34] <vbgunz> Dragonath: most likely the space | |
| [14:35] <vbgunz> make the nwn file executable and then link to it directly without sh | |
| [14:35] <tkstka> I once saw one of my friends who had some other linux. He had cool transperacy can I get one in kubuntu? | |
| [14:35] <Dragonath> vbgunz: ls -la shows its permissions as -rwxrwxr-x | |
| [14:36] <tkstka> and he had some cool quick button that made the desktops in to a 3d cube | |
| [14:36] <tkstka> can those be done in kubuntu? | |
| [14:36] <maxbaldwin> what's the right way to install kde4 over gnome? | |
| [14:36] <maxbaldwin> what packages? | |
| [14:36] <Cugel> kubuntu-desktop? | |
| [14:36] <maxbaldwin> for kde4? | |
| [14:36] <vbgunz> Dragonath: put it in your menu without the sh prefix | |
| [14:36] <maxbaldwin> and that's it? | |
| [14:36] <Cugel> tkstka: cube is in 4.2... | |
| [14:37] <Cugel> 4.1 has excellent effects, I have to admit. | |
| [14:37] <tkstka> I have kde 4 | |
| [14:37] <Dragonath> vbgunz: it doesn't start, it just keeps hanging | |
| [14:37] <tkstka> so I need to upgrade | |
| [14:37] <tkstka> how do I do that? | |
| [14:38] <tkstka> I'm probably annoying as hell.. asking so noob questions all the time :P | |
| [14:38] <knusperfrosch> tkstka: build the sourcepackages or wait for .debs | |
| [14:38] <vbgunz> Dragonath: is it that the script nwn only makes sense in terminal or something? no gui? | |
| [14:38] <acemo> tkstka: u wait for the announcement on kubuntu.org about kde 4.2 and when its there, follow the instructions that it gives you. at the moment, u can't upgrade to kde 4.2 yet without compiling yourself | |
| [14:38] <Dragonath> vbgunz: it starts neverwinter nights | |
| [14:38] <tkstka> so the kde 4.2 hasnt arrived yet for kubuntu? | |
| [14:38] <tkstka> :O | |
| [14:39] <tkstka> when will it come? | |
| [14:39] <Dragonath> vbgunz: it might want to throw error messages into the terminal | |
| === [GuS] is now known as [GuS_atWork] | |
| [14:39] <vbgunz> Dragonath: not sure what the issue is exactly :/ usually if it is executable and doesn't need a terminal you can leave off the sh prefix... | |
| [14:40] <acemo> tkstka: i don't know when it will come, havent talked to anyone thats working on making the packages about it yet. | |
| [14:40] <tkstka> ok thanks | |
| [14:40] <Dragonath> vbgunz: yeah it's weird, but it's not like I desperately need it in the menu, just wanted it to be easily accessible, no worries | |
| [14:41] <acemo> tkstka: i'm guessing it should be in a few days. | |
| [14:41] <knusperfrosch> erm, what's that knetworkmanager package for? seems to be empty | |
| [14:42] <vbgunz> Dragonath: you can try setting the working directory | |
| [14:42] <vbgunz> check advanced settings in new entry | |
| [14:42] <jewel_> internal error, disk drive cannot be mounted | |
| [14:42] <jewel_> What does it mean? | |
| [14:43] <jewel_> I'm using ubuntu8.10 | |
| [14:43] <knusperfrosch> jewel_: have a look at dmesg | tail | |
| [14:43] <Dragonath> vbgunz: tried that already, also the run in terminal and run as different user things (I am on kde3.5) | |

| [15:19] <elwood> ahi all | |
| [15:19] <elwood> anyone using kde-nightly on intrepid? | |
| [15:20] <Tm_T> elwood: what about it? | |
| [15:20] <Tm_T> aka "don't ask to ask, just ask" (:) | |
| [15:21] <elwood> empty menu, either kickoff and lancelot. | |
| [15:21] <elwood> it's a "bug"? | |
| [15:22] <Tm_T> elwood: and your ~/.menu/ doesn't contain anything which doesn't belong to there? | |
| [15:22] <elwood> Tm_T: i have both, kde4.1 from "normal" ibex and kde-neon. same /home different .kde .kde-neon but only in the 1st i have menu full. | |
| [15:23] <elwood> i suppose because neon's stuff is in /opt. maybe a link problem :) | |
| [15:23] <Tm_T> elwood: perhaps | |
| [15:23] <elwood> there is a command to regenerate menu? | |
| [15:24] <tkstka> So added new harddrives.. linux seems to see them but I cant open | |
| [15:24] <tkstka> it just gives blank | |
| [15:25] <Shaan7> I have "Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller" network card on my laptop, runs fine on ubuntu 8.10 but in kubuntu 8.10 it says "eth0 down" before i connect a wire, and "eth0 disconnected" after connecting the wire.

| [15:30] <manish> Genii: SO how do i get it back. | |
| [15:31] <genii> manish: Have you tried install of Hindi openoffice language pack? eg: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-l10n-hi-in | |
| [15:33] <manish> genii: | |
| [15:33] <manish> openoffice.org-l10n-hi-in is already the newest version. | |
| [15:33] <manish> openoffice.org-l10n-hi-in set to manually installed. | |

| [15:35] <genii> manish: Does result of: apt-cache policy openoffice.org report? | |
| [15:36] <manish> sorrt to say: can you explain in simple terms, what you mean by that.... | |
| [15:36] <genii> manish: Also, my nickname does not have uppercase G, so it does not flag to me to look here if you spell it that way :) | |
| [15:36] <manish> ok i will take care of that | |
| [15:37] <genii> manish: In Konsole, to issue: apt-cache policy openoffice.org ..this will tell what version of openoffice you have available and which is installed if any (has *** next to) | |
| [15:37] <genii> manish: Don't paste entire results of command to here | |
| [15:38] <manish> genii: it says : Installed none | |
| [15:38] <manish> genii: do you want to see the complete o/p | |
| [15:39] <manish> can i pm you the results of commands. coz the net connection is real slow out here and its really very long if i use the pastebin | |
| [15:40] <manish> genii: now what do i do. please let me know | |
| [15:41] <manish> Genii: I just switched back my system language and other language to english so should i log off and log back in and see if something happens | |
| [15:41] <genii> manish: Just report line which has in it the *** if there is one | |
| [15:42] <manish> genii: no line with 3 stars (***) | |
| [15:43] <manish> does that mean that i will have to download complete openoffice all over again....? :( | |
| [15:43] <genii> manish: So then to try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | |
| [15:43] <genii> manish: The file you downloaded earlier of it should still be on the computer, which it will want to use first | |
| [15:44] <manish> genii: so how do i tell the comp to use the downloaded file first | |
| [15:44] <genii> manish: It will wan to do that on it's own | |
| [15:44] <genii> *want | |
| [15:45] <genii> manish: The file will be in /var/cache/apt/archives | |
| [15:46] <genii> manish: This is if you used before apt-get or Synaptic or Adept to install it, and not some odd way like downloading the source of it or such | |
| [15:48] <manish> genii: again the same results. It got updated and then after that gave the result as "unresolvable dependies | |
| [15:48] <tkstka> so I formated I used ext2 this was first in the option | |
| [15:48] <snyderios> i've got a questen too | |
| [15:48] <tkstka> did I do right? | |
| [15:48] <manish> there are only 2 files by the name open office. one is by the name help-hi-... and other is -l10n-hi-in.... | |
| [15:49] <manish> genii: | |
| [15:49] <snyderios> now i use kubuntu 8.04 with kde3 and i'm thinking about an upgrade to 8.10 with kde4.. now my question: is there konqueror also in kde4 oder just Dolphin? | |
| [15:49] <genii> manish: I know for you pastebin is slow. But please pastebin the entire result of that command | |
| [15:49] <manish> ok | |
| [15:50] <andybleaden> snyderios: I think there is konqueror for kde 4 | |
| [15:50] <acemo> snyderios: there is also konqueror in kde4 | |
| [15:50] <faileas> snyderios: conqui is still there as a browser. dolphin as a file manager | |
| [15:50] <faileas> *konquiror | |

| [15:58] <user6> hi guy | |
| [15:58] <user6> s | |
| [15:58] <user6> i got a trouble | |
| [15:59] <genii> manish: To give you instructions on to install the latest version available of openoffice would be long and complicated, and as well only the versions which come in the repositories which are with (k)ubuntu are the supported versions | |
| [16:00] <user6> I'm try to install kubuntu in Fujtsu Siemens Amilo A, but it stop during formatting partition.... | |
| [16:00] <genii> manish: The openoffice website has instructions if you are actually wanting to go that path however | |
| [16:00] <tkstka> can I make cryption to my hard drives now? or do I need to format? and start all over again? | |
| [16:00] <tkstka> ::D | |
| [16:00] <user6> ... on HD there was a Xubuntu | |
| [16:01] <manish> genii: ok then can you just help me solve this dependency prob. Then i will log on to the website and install the latest version | |
| [16:01] <rmitchell> user6: did it give you any errors? | |
| [16:04] <genii> manish: Remove or comment out for the time being the intrepid-propsed repositories. Then issue again the command of: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | |
| [16:05] <user6> rmitchell: no it stuck and remain in some point | |
| [16:05] <user6> rmitchell: each time different.... | |
| [16:05] <rmitchell> user6: can you still boot into the Xubuntu? | |
| [16:05] <user6> rmitchell: ahhh.... right, in a case it say "failed to create partition" | |
| [16:06] <user6> rmitchell: i don't know.... i had to try | |
| [16:06] <genii> tkstka: After install you cannot easily encrypt the root / only subsequent partitions or so. You want to do this part during install normally | |
| [16:07] <rmitchell> user6: any reason you want a fresh Kubuntu install? You could install the kubuntu-desktop package on top of xubuntu | |
| [16:07] <rmitchell> save you the trouble of an install | |
| [16:08] <liquid> that was good to know | |
| [16:08] <manish> genii: i cant see any of the proposed repositories in Ubuntu sofware tab of Manage repositories | |

| [16:09] <rmitchell> user6, did it fail before formatting? | |
| [16:09] <user6> rmitchell: but it's better to format all and reinstall.... | |
| [16:10] <user6> rmitchell: yes xubuntu fail... | |
| [16:10] <liquid> or reburn perhaps? | |
| [16:10] <user6> rmitchell: because HD was take from another laptop | |
| [16:10] <rmitchell> ah | |
| [16:10] <manish> genii: same results | |
| [16:10] <user6> rmitchell: i think that i haad to format HD manually | |
| [16:10] <rmitchell> user6, will it allow you to remove all of the partitions from the disk? | |
| [16:11] <user6> rmitchell: yes | |

| [16:15] <rmitchell> user6, I assume you're managing partitions through the installer, it may work better to gparted | |
| [16:15] <genii> manish: Try: sudo apt-get install -f openoffice.org | |
| [16:16] <manish> genii: what does this do | |
| [16:16] <jessie_morris> so I have a Sony SDT-10000 SCSI tape drive. It shows up on my SCSI controller card, but I cannot find it once I boot up the Debian Box. I'm running Etch with all updates. I already asked in Debain, but nobody answered, so I figured this would be the second best place | |

| [16:16] <manish> the same result | |

| [16:22] <rmitchell> user6: go ahead and install it from the repo | |
| [16:23] <genii> manish: Paste seems to indicate there are mixed versions of 3.0 and 2.4 in the repositories you are using, which is odd. However. Try install one by one. | |
| [16:24] <manish> genii: maxbaldwin: can you take the effort to explain to me what the op means coz i am not able to understand a single line there | |
| [16:24] <manish> how genii: | |

| [16:25] <manish> genii | |
| [16:26] <manish> how do i remove every trace of openoffice from my computer and then may be i could install fresh 3.0. will that work | |
| [16:26] <manish> genii: | |
| [16:26] <genii> manish: I doubt same result since it listed previously all those as "not going to be installed". The error is probably different than before but to you looks same. Please pastebin error message | |
| [16:27] <manish> initially too it was the same : Not going to be installed | |
| [16:27] <rmitchell> user6: does it list any partitions? | |

| [16:29] <genii> manish: Try just: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer=2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1 | |
| [16:29] <manish> genii: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/77418/ | |
| [16:29] <manish> are you sure you want me to install the previous version | |

| [16:31] <manish> genii: | |
| [16:31] <rmitchell> user6: this will destroy all data on those two partitions | |
| [16:32] <genii> manish: The problem seems that you have manually installed ony parts of version 3, since dpkg has records of this version but cannot attribute it's origin to any known repository. this is what comes of manually messing with different versions and bypassing the package manager. | |
| [16:32] <mcxx> hi, I'm having problems with two monitors in Kubuntu 8.04 - I didn't success with configuring them in xorg.conf so I tried xrandr. That works OK as long as I have the second (external) monitor normally, but when I rotate it 90 degrees with xrandr, the refreshing of the display is really slow (cca 3s), any idea how to fix this? | |
| [16:32] <user6> rmitchell: i have deleted hd1 | |
| [16:32] <user6> rmitchell: selected hd2 .... but no operation is allowed | |
| [16:33] <manish> so what do i do now. as it is the only thing i use in my pc so i would like to have it any ways | |
| [16:33] <manish> genii | |
| [16:33] <rmitchell> user6: is it mounted? | |

| [16:34] <genii> manish: You obviously previously downloaded a deb or so of version 3 earlier. Where did you put that deb file? | |
| [16:34] <Nece228> does kubuntu 8.10 fly in my amd athlon 64 3000+ 2ghz 1.5 gb ram ati radeon 9600? | |
| [16:35] <rmitchell> user6: open Konsole, type mount | |
| [16:35] <manish> i have lost it probably as i downloaded it using a friends pc | |
| [16:35] <rmitchell> see if its listed | |
| [16:35] <manish> so do i need to get that deb now. | |
| [16:35] <manish> and will it solve the present issue of package manager not recognising it and will i be able to update that using package manager later on | |
| [16:36] <genii> manish: Get the deb. Put it on your desktop. Then in Konsole to issue something to effect of: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/thatfilename.deb But put of course the actual filename there | |
| [16:36] <manish> i cal also click on that deb so that it installs automatically right>> | |
| [16:36] <manish> or will that make matters worse | |
| [16:37] <user6> rmitchell: hd2 is not listed .... but i have a list of 10 dev | |
| [16:37] <genii> manish: The output from running it in terminal will be more useful if it fails | |

| [16:38] <manish> because my friend is out of station and wont be returing home for a week or so genii: | |
| [16:38] <user6> rmitchell: now i can delete hd5 | |
| [16:38] <genii> manish: Because the deb file will not be associated as having originated in some repository that Kubuntu knows about | |

| [16:40] <manish> genii: as i said is there any other way of doing this as it will take real long for him to return (atleast a week) | |
| [16:40] <genii> manish: If you install some deb file at all, whether from using dpkg in Konsole or from the graphical deb install, it will not be able ever to update it. Because the deb file is a static thing you downloaded, frozen in time, and there is no repository for the package manager to go look at to see if a newer one exists | |

| [16:41] <acemo> linuxmce: why did they ban you? | |

| [16:45] <woden> For example I want to search for sdl or libsdl, but Adept just shows programs like SDLjump or SDL Slash'EM. I want to search all packages with sdl in the name or description, not just programs. How do I do that besides using the terminal? | |

| [16:51] <neverendingo> woden: what about right-clicking a menu entry and "add to panel"? | |

| [16:56] <user6> and try to install from live CD | |
| [16:58] <rmitchell> user6: you should be able to create new partitions from the free space | |
| [16:58] <user6> rmitchell: its strange .... because during installation hda1 was seen like hda | |
| [16:58] <user6> rmitchell: | |
| [16:58] <user6> i have done | |
| [16:58] <manish> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/77426/ | |
| [16:58] <manish> genii: | |
| [16:59] <rmitchell> hda refers to the entire drive, hda1 is a partition | |
| [16:59] <user6> ext3 , extended and linux-swap | |
| [16:59] <user6> extended and linux -flat from 1,5gb | |
| [16:59] <user6> the rest for ext3 | |
| [17:00] <user6> but during installation ...ext3 =hda1 was seen like hda | |
| [17:00] <user6> hda2 like hd1 | |
| [17:00] <user6> hda5 good | |
| [17:00] <user6> so i have prefered to clear all | |
| [17:00] <user6> no partition | |
| [17:00] <user6> and now live CD seem to work | |
| [17:01] <user6> seems | |
| [17:01] <rmitchell> the installer must read things a little differently from gparted.. strange | |

| [17:51] <mid5> or some tv program that I can use | |
| [17:51] <genii> manish: That should be fine. It is trying to make the list of packages and the condition they are currently in on your box actually reflect their real conditions | |
| [17:52] <dymian> who are from poland? | |
| [17:52] <manish> genii: sorry i dont understand you | |
| [17:53] <dymian> who are from poland? | |
| [17:54] <genii> manish: Your computer has a list for itself of installed things. In the list is also whether the thing is installed, not installed, half-installed, sort-of-installed, and so on. Since it was made messy it does not now show true state of things. We are making it so that the list afterwards will be true | |
| [17:55] <manish> ok so how to do that | |
| [17:55] <genii> manish: I just gave you it | |
| [17:55] <dymian> how looked how many mb are downoad and upload? | |
| [17:55] <manish> as of now i have allowed it to installed what ever it said | |

| [18:06] <woden> Because honestly, I really want to like KDE but at the moment I am finding difficulty using it | |

| [19:18] <anger_> hi! | |
| [19:18] <anger_> how is this guarddog supposed to work? | |
| [19:19] <anger_> i tested it once, found that it's not very nice | |
| [19:19] <anger_> and removed it | |
| [19:19] <genii> manish: Perhaps in future try to keep installations from package manager only, this will completely eliminate this sort of problem | |
| [19:19] <anger_> but the problem is that it still keeps blockin all connections | |
| [19:20] <anger_> any idea how to remove it completely? | |
| [19:20] <manish> genii: k will keep that in mind | |
| [19:21] <manish> genii: want to tell you something. I am installing openoffice.org core right now, it is getting installed. Is this and openoffice.org same | |
| [19:22] <genii> manish: openoffice.org is only what is called a "metapackage" . So it is not in itself something to install. Instead it says to computer that a bunch of other packages should be installed...the ones we listed before | |
| [19:23] <genii> manish: openoffice.org-writer openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-report-builder-bin | |
| [19:23] <manish> so then what is openoffice;org core | |
| [19:24] <genii> !info openoffice.org-core | |

| [19:24] <mrksbrd> anger_: firestarter is alot easier | |
| [19:24] <anger_> mrksbrd, yep, seems so | |
| [19:25] <genii> manish: Looks like it is one of the components told by openoffice.org package to install, along with the ones I just listed | |
| [19:25] <manish> genii: does that mean after in install oo,o core i would be able to install oo | |
| [19:25] <anger_> but I must say that setting up a firewall in kubuntu is not very well planned at the moment imho | |
| [19:25] <genii> manish: You could try but I doubt it will progress, due to it's not wanting to install the components i just earlier listed again | |
| [19:26] <manish> dont know, the system itself asked me to install it when i run the command sudo apt-get install -f | |
| [19:27] <anger_> and do I have to configure something to make the firestarter firewall setting to be loaded during the bootup? | |
| [19:27] <manish> the download is like 16 percent complete and still progressing | |
| [19:27] <manish> will wait and see if it is done | |
| [19:27] <manish> what say? | |
| [19:27] <genii> manish: The -f part tries to make the computer resolve and dependency issues, so it may yet go further than before | |
| [19:27] <anger_> at least at the moment with removed guarddog still haunting in my pc I have to manually reload the configuration on every bootup | |
| [19:28] <manish> ok | |
| [19:28] <manish> thanks for that info | |
| [19:28] <genii> anger_: Thats because underneath, the iptables configs got changed by guarddog | |
| [19:29] <anger_> genii, personally I wouldnt have any problems configuring iptables manually, just don't know how I should do that without messing up the bootup scripts | |
| [19:29] <manish> genii: one last question. like abiword, is there any gnome app for making presentations and spreadsheets | |
| [19:30] <manish> and how is abiword when compared with oo | |
| [19:31] <genii> manish: I do not use abiword so can give no comparison. But I find the openoffice Presentation works to my needs in this way | |

| [20:06] <cojack> I'll look | |
| [20:06] <joe_> speaking of bugs, has anyone else had this problem with Kubuntu Intrepid? The default monitor refresh rate that kubuntu picks for my monitor is 75Hz, but it looks better at 85Hz. When I go to the display settings and change it to 85Hz, and then restart the computer, it is using 75Hz again. But as soon as I open the display settings panel, it automatically changes to 85Hz again. It says its using 85Hz, but it always starts at the default | |
| [20:06] <joe_> setting of 75Hz. How do I get Kubuntu to always start up with the refresh rate that I've set in the display settings? That includes using the same settings for the KDM login screen. | |

| [20:16] <antoranz> Is there any reason why kate closes up randomlpy when I open files? | |
| [20:17] <tkstka> it says there arent a command named -n | |
| [20:17] <antoranz> most of the times, I have no problem... they open correctly, but once in a while, It just crashes | |
| [20:17] <genii> tkstka: I would recommend: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc then now you are in the commandline to fdisk, So then N for a new partition. Choose primary type. Number of 1 is good here. After it makes the partition, choose T for type. Put there 83 as the type for it. Then W will exit with writing the new info. From here you can format it with: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 | |

| [20:21] <tkstka> I did hit enters twise | |
| [20:21] <genii> tkstka: OK so this is where you just made it. So look at what I Wrote | |
| [20:21] <mrksbrd> "m" allows you to set partion size | |

After it makes the partition, choose T for type. Put there 83 as the type for it. Then W will exit with writing the new info. From here you can format it with: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 | |

| [20:30] <tkstka> :o | |
| [20:30] <noaXess> in the actual version there is a problem to disable the touchpad over keyboard.. you need to rmmod psmouse and modprobe it, if you need it | |
| [20:30] <tkstka> it should be formated | |
| [20:30] <tkstka> and I cant seem to write anything | |
| [20:31] <sigp239> noaXess: It was working in Ubuntu with GNOME... | |
| [20:31] <noaXess> sigp239: jep.... kde4 is the prob.. and there is no GUI for configuration the touchpad.. | |
| [20:31] <genii> tkstka: lost+found is stuff it found on the drive if it did a filecheck for instance and found stray files or data | |
| [20:31] <noaXess> have same prob.. but can live with it ;) | |
| [20:32] <dwidmann> sigp239: a combination of xorg.conf options and touchfreeze is one way to do it. | |
| [20:32] <noaXess> wait until kde4.2 in january, there will be a lot of changes | |
| [20:32] <genii> tkstka: You need to make a folder on the drive which belongs to the user which will write there | |

| [21:19] <thiago_> what is this used for? some sort of Ubuntu help live chat? | |
| [21:19] <Tm_T> thiago_: yes, Kubuntu | |
| [21:20] <thiago_> interesting | |
| [21:21] <thiago_> does anybody know how to net send a message from my Kubuntu desktop to a WinXP desktop on the same net as mine | |
| [21:24] <dwidmann> thiago_: I'm pretty sure it can be done, but I forget how | |
| [21:24] <dwidmann> If I could remember what that type of message was called i could probably remember | |
| [21:25] <thiago_> I tried it using sbmclient -M but it does not work as it states the winXP host name I provide cannot be resolved even though I can access the winXP host remotely thru dolphin | |
| [21:26] <dwidmann> thiago_: try using the ip address instead that | |

| [21:34] <avare> thank unottu | |
| [21:34] <uga> dwidmann: sure. I had to write parsers a couple of times already (simple ones at least in theory) and both drove me nuts | |
| [21:34] <dwidmann> edi_99: I guess that would depend just why the gui is gone. What happens when you type startxs | |
| [21:35] <edi_99> nothing, it says that some files are missing | |

| [21:57] <edi_99> dwidmann: the only problem is that there is no internet connection on my comp... is there any good site that describes how to create a connection through terminal? | |
| [21:58] <dwidmann> edi_99: wait, that confuses me, does it have an internet connection or not? | |
| [21:58] <noaXess> by the way.. when my keyboard stops to work.. my mouse works normal. | |
| [21:58] <noaXess> any idea? | |
| [21:59] <edi_99> dwidmann: nope it does not have anything except the terminal line... i'm writing this form a different computer | |

| [22:02] <mschiff> I guess its *the* FAQ of today: Are there KDE4.2beta1 packages for intrepid somewhere? | |
| [22:03] <edi_99> dwidmann: that works thanks a bunch | |

| [22:04] <edi_99> dwidmann: would that do any good? | |
| [22:05] <dwidmann> edi_99: probably makes more sense to install it through apt | |
| [22:06] <edi_99> dwidmann: too late :)but if this does not work i'll try through apt. Anyway, what's this tasksel all about? | |
| [22:07] <dwidmann> edi_99: dunno, I've never used tasksel | |

| [22:14] <edi_99> dwidmann: yeah, the installation mark is at 0% for about 10 min now... | |
| [22:14] <edi_99> dwidmann: with 1mbps connection | |
| [22:14] <dwidmann> edi_99: well, it fits on a cd. So in the worst case scenario it could be upwards of 700MB | |
| [22:15] <edi_99> dwidmann: oh man.... :) | |
| [22:18] <e-head_> Hey, are the Kubuntu repositories any different from the Ubuntu ones? | |
| [22:19] <Tm_T> nope | |
| [22:19] <e-head_> Is there any significant difference between an Ubuntu installation with KDE installed and a Kubuntu installation? | |
| [22:19] <edi_99> dwidmann: another question; do I have to delete LAMP or do I just enter sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? | |
| [22:19] <jussi01> e-head_: apart from the fact you have gnome installed? | |
| [22:19] <Tm_T> e-head_: no, if you install kubuntu-desktop metapackage, except you have GNOME there too | |
| [22:19] <e-head_> gotcha. | |
| [22:20] <e-head_> So, it's basically a matter of which desktop environment you like best, and think you want to use. | |
| [22:20] <Tm_T> e-head_: aye | |
| [22:20] <e-head_> I've been using rat poinson for the last 4 years, but I think I'm ready to install/upgrade to a new distro. | |
| [22:20] <e-head_> I remember liking KDE best, so I suppose I'll go with Kubuntu. | |

| [22:47] <faik> how ş can run this nvidia-settings? | |

| [23:12] <dwidmann> edi_99: that's most frustrating, try removing xserver-xorg-video-fglrx | |
| [23:12] <faik> This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation. | |
| [23:12] <faik> It is not supported in any way. | |

| [23:15] <faik> sorry very much | |
| [23:15] <faik> i didnt knew | |
| [23:16] <edi_99> dwidmann: seems there is no such file | |
| [23:17] <dwidmann> faik: seems this is where it ran into trouble, now we need to find out why ... "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" | |

| [23:17] <TJ> my clock will not stay set... i did a sudo hwclock --debug and these are the results........ | |
| [23:17] <dwidmann> faik: try running "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx", then restarting X | |
| [23:17] <dwidmann> edi_99: it's a package | |
| [23:18] <TJ> http://paste.ubuntu.com/77553/ | |
| [23:18] <edi_99> dwidmann: oh...my bad... should it be located in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver...? | |
| [23:19] <dwidmann> edi_99: really, it's a package, when I said remove it I meant with apt :P | |
| [23:19] <TJ> anyone know? | |
| [23:20] <edi_99> dwidmann: :) oh man... I'm sorry | |
| [23:20] <faik> nothing is the same again | |
| [23:21] <dwidmann> TJ: what does it get unset to? | |
| [23:21] <dwidmann> TJ: and how often? | |
| [23:21] <TJ> dwidmann: every time i set it, its currently 6:26 pm and my clock has 1:20 | |
| [23:21] <TJ> pm | |
| [23:21] <dwidmann> faik: run nvidia-settings and see if it still won't | |
| [23:22] <dwidmann> TJ: strange ... you could set a cron job to fix the time when it does it maybe? | |
| [23:22] <dwidmann> TJ: (not a fix but a nice bandaid, if that'll work) | |
| [23:22] <TJ> dwidmann: how do i do that | |
| [23:22] <faik> you do not appear to be using the nvidia driver.... | |
| [23:22] <edi_99> dwidmann: couldn't find package | |
| [23:23] <dwidmann> faik: that's really strange seeing as you have it installed, and after running nvidia-xconfig it should be enabled. | |
| [23:24] <dwidmann> TJ: well, type in sudo -s; export EDITOR=kate; crontab -e | |
| [23:25] <TJ> dwidmann: i just set it up in the settings to set time automatically.. imma see if this works | |
| [23:25] <dwidmann> TJ: then you'll need a cron line for it ... the command will be something like "ntpdate north-america.pool.ntp.org" | |
| [23:26] <dwidmann> TJ: you might want to use a different time server, I don't know | |
| [23:26] <edi_99> dwidmann: should I try to autoremove xserver-xorg-video? | |
| [23:27] <dwidmann> edi_99: umm, doesn't matter, that's just a metapackage | |
| [23:27] <edi_99> dwidmann: and then? | |
| [23:28] <dwidmann> edi_99: try to startx again | |
| [23:28] <dwidmann> faik: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | |
| [23:28] <faik> ok | |
| [23:29] <edi_99> dwidmann: everything is exactly the same... | |
| [23:29] <dwidmann> edi_99: huh? how's that ... it can't possibly be trying to use fglrx after it having been completely removed | |
| [23:30] <faik> dwidman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77555/ | |
| [23:30] <edi_99> dwidmann: the output after the startx is exactly the same ... | |
| [23:30] <dwidmann> edi_99: do a dpkg --list xserver-xorg-video-fglrx | |
| [23:32] <edi_99> dwidmann: you know what..let's call it a night.. I'm so frustrated I cant't stand being behind a comp anymore.. | |
| [23:32] <edi_99> dwidmann: thanks for all your help | |
| [23:32] <dwidmann> kay edi_99, night | |
| [23:33] <edi_99> dwidmann: thanks again, night | |
| [23:34] <dwidmann> faik: well, now we have a pretty good idea of why you're getting the low res | |
| [23:35] <faik> realy? | |
| [23:35] <dwidmann> faik: hit alt+f2 and run "kdesudo kate" | |
| [23:36] <dwidmann> faik: then open /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |
| [23:36] <faik> i didnt have install this | |
| [23:36] <dwidmann> faik: replace the contents with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/http://paste.ubuntu.com/77557/ | |
| [23:37] <dwidmann> faik: eh? don't have what? | |
| [23:37] <faik> kdesudo kate | |
| [23:38] <dwidmann> faik: you should. They're both installed by default. | |
| [23:38] <faik> nope | |
| [23:39] <dwidmann> ... that's just plain weird. | |
| [23:39] <dwidmann> faik: open up Konsole, and type in "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | |
| [23:42] <faik> why installink kubuntu desktop? i have gnome and this desktop dind help us to solve my problem? | |
| [23:43] <dwidmann> faik: well, that explains some things ... we make certain assumptions when you're in #kubuntu you see | |
| [23:44] <dwidmann> faik: now that I know that ... run gksudo gedit instead | |
| [23:45] <faik> ok | |
| [23:47] <faik> dwidmann: do you pastebin again xorg.conf? | |
| [23:47] <dwidmann> faik: and like I was saying earlier, open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and replace it's contents with http://paste.ubuntu.com/http://paste.ubuntu.com/77557/ | |
| [23:47] <faik> Ubuntu Pastebin | |
| [23:47] <faik> The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. | |
| [23:47] <faik> dwidmann: do you pastebin again xorg.conf? | |
| [23:48] <dwidmann> It should exist ... | |
| [23:49] <dwidmann> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/19358 | |
| [23:50] <dwidmann> oh, wait, I see what was done now ... though I'm not quite sure how I did it a minute ago .... | |
| [23:50] <dwidmann> that url was all #$!@#$ up. | |
| [23:50] <faik> i have paste and save it | |
| [23:51] <dwidmann> faik: okay, restart x again and we'll see how it looks | |
| [23:52] <dwidmann> faik: | |
| [23:52] <dwidmann> faik: erm, better yet, do a full reboot | |
| [23:53] <faik> ok | |
| [23:57] <tihomir> hello, can anybody help me with getting dual-head with fglrx to work? | |
