[00:00] He knows already ;) [00:02] when I press the CAPS lock key while moving my mouse, the pointer goes spastic for a while and sometimes reverts to default mouse settings, why is that? [00:02] * nonewmsgs presses caps lock [00:02] doesn't affect my kubuntu [00:04] mines fine too [00:04] I configured xorg so when I tap the laptop trackpad, it does not click [00:04] !worksforme | blue_, nonewmsgs [00:04] blue_, nonewmsgs: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [00:04] hello good afternoon [00:05] to you all [00:05] well, that factoid wasn't quite what I wanted [00:05] Hello :-) [00:05] hallo :D [00:05] under system administration there is a keyboard and you can make sure caps lock isn't linked to something [00:07] ok the thing is that i download limewire pro but is almost impossible to conect by itself and on top of that makes my pc very slow is there any way to fix that someone can help me please???????????????????????????????? [00:08] luis_: If I remember correctly, Limewire functions TERRIBLY on Linux. Perhaps you should give another piece of software a try, I personally use gtk-gnutella, it functions just fine, and gets the job done. ;) [00:08] luis__: limewire is an application that runs java. perhaps more ram might help? [00:08] oh jesus [00:08] and here my friends [00:08] is a fine example [00:09] of why linux should remain arcane and impossible for the average user to use [00:09] ram??? [00:09] * hydrogen goes and washes his eyes out with bleech [00:09] ? [00:09] what do you mean?? it use to work real fast when i had windows, but now that i use kubuntu is very very very slow [00:11] is there any way to fix it or other program instead [00:11] [01:08:27] luis_: If I remember correctly, Limewire functions TERRIBLY on Linux. Perhaps you should give another piece of software a try, I personally use gtk-gnutella, it functions just fine, and gets the job done. ;) [00:12] how late is there?? [00:12] luis_; I know of no solution, gtk-gnutella works well for me, perhaps you could give it a try. Or perhaps Apollon, though I have never used it before [00:12] nutella?? [00:12] sounds good to me [00:12] Yuuki: excuse me? [00:12] then let me ask you this how do i uninstall limewire??????????????? [00:12] just c/p your answer to luis__ question:) === sloth is now known as asobi [00:14] and i really like to know this because maybe in the future as i go on with kubuntu i like to learn to remove programas [00:14] Are ASUS Linux onboard sound drivers compatible with ALSA?? [00:15] luis__: how did you install it? [00:15] Yuuki: oh! thank you :) [00:18] billyd: i have several asus linux mboards and they dont have their *own* soundcard. i remember one was like a realtek ac'97 and one was a hd audio [00:18] with konsole [00:18] reading some instructions that i found in mozilla [00:19] luis__: was it something like sudo apt-get install limewire ? [00:19] how do i install thunderbird? [00:19] yes [00:19] that way exactly [00:19] luis__: well try sudo apt-get remove limwire [00:19] This has a RealTek ALC833 on the borad. I got stereo using ALSA driver that is get by. Not offered more than 2 channels [00:19] thanks [00:20] gwc: what distro u using? kubuntu? [00:20] yes [00:20] luis__: your welcome, we all learn the basics :P [00:20] 7.07 Kubuntu [00:20] 7.04 - sorry [00:20] gwc: load adept manager and search for it [00:21] luis_: These 'apt-get' commands get be easier for you to use, run 'adept_manager', it is basically gives a GUI for this command. It includes a search field where you can find your favorite applications. You can use this tool to upgrade, remove, and install applications easily. :D [00:21] it appears that it coulndt find the limewire package [00:22] luis__: there is also something called frostwire [00:22] luis__: then as Strangelet says load up adept manager and search for it [00:22] my adept manager doesnt find anything for limewire.... [00:23] luis_,blue_: I searched I did not find limewire nor have I found frostwire. :\ [00:23] luis_: did you add additional repositories? (deposits of binary applications) [00:23] ok [00:24] no i dont think so i hardly start using kubuntu and i still have a long way to learn tons of things so i dont have a clue of what you asked me but thanks i am opening adept manager and see [00:25] i have the additional repositories fromt eh ubuntu guide and i still dont see limewire :S [00:27] blue_: I doubt the Ubuntu guys really like Limewire, from what I have heard, it runs badly on all Linux. XD [00:27] i dont want it, luis__ was wanting to know how to remove it [00:28] blue_: gotcha. ;) [00:29] ;p thank you very much i find it and remove it [00:29] oh, shit [00:29] thank you guys love you [00:29] I think I just figured out the problem [00:30] nice work luis__! [00:30] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [00:30] what is the problem? [00:30] is there any way to make a partition at the front of the drive after installation [00:30] and for the nutella also is working smooth, nice, deluxe i love it [00:30] ooo cool [00:30] luis_: yayyy! :D [00:30] i need to make a partition for /boot [00:31] evrytime i get in this channel i find very interesting stuff about kubuntu is adictive [00:31] erm.... you may be able to resize a partition or move them about a bit [00:31] luis__: yeah same here [00:31] qtparted says that I can't resize the first partition [00:31] Doctor_Nick: are you sure you want a /boot [00:31] Doctor_Nick: I think you can resize it, but you can only clip out space from the END of the partition, not the front. [00:31] yeah [00:32] ech. [00:32] thats not good [00:32] Doctor_Nick: are you booting from a live CD? [00:32] no [00:32] im using an old kernel image [00:32] why does the partition have to be at the start of the drive? [00:32] because what keeps happening is that the new kernel image is placed on the hard drive AFTER the cylinder limit to which the computer can boot from [00:33] * genii sips his coffee and contemplates the 1024 limit [00:33] i didnt know there was a limit :P [00:33] I know I can move the kernel image to the front of the drive some how, but I'd rather just make a /boot partition [00:34] blue_ there used to be various limits back in the day [00:34] Doctor_Nick: you shure about that man... that's for really old BIOS [00:35] so can you not make one partition smaller then shuffle them all to the end of the drive and make your new partition at the front? [00:35] nejode: its the only explanation I can come up with [00:36] Doctor_Nick: my "/" partition is way over the half of the drive [00:36] Doctor_Nick, recomend using "ultimate Boot disk" or "Super Grub CD", depending on what you are trying to do [00:37] Doctor_Nick: do you have sata+ide drives? [00:37] is it a sata drive or an eide drive [00:37] eide [00:37] its a laptop [00:37] its coming up on 4 years old [00:37] and what happens when you update? [00:38] that's what happened [00:38] ...GRUB doesn't find your kernel? [00:38] there were kernel updates in the last update i did [00:38] no [00:38] I can only boot from an older one [00:39] do you have nvidia or fglrx drivers? [00:39] please i need help [00:39] fglrx [00:40] somebody who knows [00:40] noone? [00:40] how is your name pink [00:40] ask your question, if anyone knows they'll answer [00:40] ok [00:40] hello [00:40] !somebody | geowv [00:40] ok, when tou update a kernel you have to reinstal the drivers because the new kernel needs it's own module [00:41] geowv: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:41] i have a sagem fast 800 modem [00:41] i instaled a package named ubudsl [00:42] i kan ping [00:42] i can speak with you [00:42] i can update my system [00:42] but i cannot load webpages [00:42] can you wget webpages? [00:43] wget??? [00:43] "System.out.println("hello world!1");" [00:44] geowv: "wget www.av.com" [00:44] ah hah.

[00:44] I'm guessing DNS problems [00:45] yeah thats what i thought too [00:45] So for example, under IDE/ATA, 2^16 or 65,536 cylinders are supported. [00:45] tha modem is connected via usb [00:45] thats 128 gigabytes [00:45] guess what my harddrive is [00:45] geowv: open a console, type "wget www.av.com" an hit enter [00:46] Doctor_Nick: 40gig [00:46] no, 140 gigs [00:46] i did [00:46] it [00:47] does it say Resolving www.av.com... 216.109.112.135 [00:47] my harddrive is just about full, so its likely that the new kernel image was placed beyond that [00:47] thats the answer [00:47] yeas [00:48] does it say `index.html' saved at the bottom? [00:48] Doctor_Nick: the kernel image are always placed in /boot... [00:48] hola para todos [00:48] index.html' saved [9029] [00:49] ...and a 4 year old laptop should't have the 1024 sector limit [00:49] geowv: it must be your browser then, what browser u using?

[01:07] i just finished setting up my skype but the skype out calls are no longer free. anyone know another free voip [01:07] other that openwengo [01:09] Ar-Pharazon: remove package kwalletmanager [01:09] he could try not being so cheap -_- [01:09] genii: That won't have any messy side effects for the applications that use KDE wallet, will it? Specifically the wireless connection [01:10] not the wallet guy [01:10] Daisuke_Ido: Heh =D [01:10] Ar-Pharazon: If you're not using it it won't matter [01:10] um, if an app uses the wallet, then it is of use to you... but i don't know for sure, i've never actually attempted to remove kwalletmanager :) [01:11] Daisuke_Ido: I've removed it without ill effects [01:11] there you have it, it should be just fine :) [01:12] Ok, hope it doesn't mess up my wifi... Thanks [01:13] Doctor_Nick: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#How_to_make_a_separate_boot_partition ... about half way down the page [01:18] nejode: looks good, thanks [01:18] Doctor_Nick: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3081671.msg109864#msg109864 [01:18] Is there an FTP client installed by default on kubuntu please?

[01:21] also kasablanca [01:21] Jucato: it's my opinion, I like FireFTP as a firefox add-on too [01:22] nejode: not you though :) === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:22] the "why?" was for Doctor_Nick [01:25] ... the gui's for ksablanca, kftpgrabber, filezilla or Fireftp are "more friendly" as I see it.

[01:26] (you can have more than 1 split view in Konqueror though... plus tabs... oh well) [01:26] Jucato: Konq diehard ;) [01:26] ...well, many people prefer the cli.... [01:27] genii: not really. I mean, not as much before. Dolphin is fancy too :) [01:28] I don't know in KDE4, but in KDE3 konqueror beats dolphin hands down [01:28] nejode: so true. because it isn't Dolphin [01:29] it's called D3lphin... but should probably be renamed to clownfish [01:29] HELLO [01:30] Jucato, how dare you slight the noble clownfish by suggesting d3lphin take the name? [01:30] Daisuke_Ido: I couldn't think of a more appropriate fish in 5 seconds :) [01:30] DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO USE CAD? [01:30] !caps | alex_ [01:30] alex_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[01:32] how to use cad... what a broad and vague question. [01:32] and does anyone know how to install a hp laserjet 1100 printer on ubuntu? [01:32] I use the 'qcad' program every so often. [01:34] well can you tell me how to use it to create diagrams? [01:34] Yeah, qcad isn't so horrible [01:34] run qcad, start drawing the box's and lines and whatever...
