Thats acceptable modifications then [00:22] of course, i wouldn't do anything evil to anyone's coffee - that's a sacred drink [00:23] :) [00:44] quick question, I have an SD card that won't read on Hardy but reads fine on my Sabayon box [00:44] does Kubuntu support fat16 default?

[01:01] what's the best kind of usb hard drive to get for use with kubuntu? i want to run xp in a virtualmachine using the ext. hard drive. [01:01] i´m trying to remove a pkg, but i can´t get into pkgtool [01:01] any drive [01:01] i like plextor's [01:01] any body help? [01:02] whtaś the comand line for pkgtool? [01:02] so there aren't any problems with usb drives then with kubuntu? [01:03] not that i know of [01:06] I'm attempting to use kismet, but I need to " [01:06] using the serialmonkey GPL'd [01:06] rt2x00 drivers. Must use 1.2.2 beta 2 or newer drivers. [01:06] Ack. That didn't come out appropriately. Sorry. Not used to Konversation yet. [01:07] Anyway, I need to find the serialmonkey rt2x00 drivers. I've found a site here that says they're accessible via git, but the packman for kubuntu is apt-get. So how do I access these? [01:07] please [01:07] i wanna remove a pkg from kde [01:07] what´s the comand line should i use??? [01:08] !aptitude [01:08] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [01:10] Hello [01:11] testing [01:11] Anyone? I need wireless-dev to get serialmonkeys rt2x00 wireless card drivers, but it's not on apt-get for Kubuntu. [01:12] hex_1 aptitude remove package [01:14] Jest jakiś rodak na kanale ? [01:15] telephone dialing program? I want the modem to dial a phone number -- [01:15] Anybody? Hello? :/ [01:15] Hello Rikard [01:15] !patience | rikard [01:15] rikard: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:15] Hello Lance. [01:16] Also, hello random irc bot. Despite your AI like ability to infer a user is becoming irate and demanding, perhaps your owner should program you to recognize simple disdain in people. Maybe his personality rubbed off on you. :/ [01:19] rikard, channel etiquette is to not repeat one's question more often than once every 10 minutes or so, which you should see in the guidelines. [01:19] !alien [01:19] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [01:20] Is apt better than RPM? [01:20] Dthacker-work, perhaps I'm new to IRC in general, and the guidelines aren't exactly "posted" when you join the channel. [01:20] Channel etiquette is also, apparently, belittle the ignorant newbie. [01:21] LanceMartin: that's an endless debate. Ubuntu has chosen to use apt, so that's what we support here. [01:22] Okay, I have been out of linux for a long time ... my questions might be those of a complete newbie. [01:22] rikard: no offense was intended. The guidelines help irc volunteers to help you when things get busy. [01:23] LanceMartin: we were all new once! :) [01:23] My apologies. I'm just irate for no good reason. Didn't mean to pull the self righteous idiot card. [01:23] rikard: none taken. :) [01:23] One thing I am looking for is a phone dialer ... I downloaded one but I don't know how to make it work. [01:25] LanceMartin: I haven't used one in a long time. I would fire up adept and query for strings like "modem" and "dialer". What is the name of the package you downloaded? [01:25] thank you! [01:26] rikard: Hardware can be very frustrating. I'd suggest you visit the forums and query for your card. You may find someone else who has gotten it to work. [01:26] The card works fine. I'm looking to replace the stock kubuntu driver with the serialmoneky specific that supports packet injection so that kismet will work. [01:27] um, I have a question about getting wifi to work for my dell inspiron in hardy...anyone? [01:27] rikard: I'd still recommend the forums in that case. [01:28] Thank you. [01:28] yogi_: please state the problem [01:28] Whats the kubuntu equivalent of gedit? [01:29] rikard: hmmmm. never used much gnome. Kate, perhaps? (text editor?) [01:29] i'm currently using kubuntu gutsy for my inspiron 1505 and I have wifi working. I can't get it to work in Hardy. I assumed the procedure would be the same, but I'm wondering if there are any modules that might be interfereing with ndiswrapper [01:29] yup kate [01:30] Yep. It's kate. thanks. [01:31] Ok. When attempting to edit a .conf file, if I try to kate *.conf while I'm root, I get an error that I couldn't connect to X server. [01:31] However, if I do it as my standard user, I can open the file fine, but can't save. [01:31] Perhaps, because I don't have permission. [01:31] yogi_: I don't know of any. Have you checked the wifi resources online? [01:31] rikard: are you using sudo or su? [01:32] !wifi | yogi_ [01:32] yogi_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:32] su - [01:32] ps [01:32] er, password. [01:32] rikard: try sudo, I think you're losing your X env when you su. [01:33] Worked great. What does "losing my x env" mean, if you have time to explain it? [01:33] rikard- kdesu kate [01:33] Kismet up and running. Fantastic. [01:33] Don't use sudo for GUI apps. That's what kdesu is for [01:34] It still worked, dragn, but I will remember thati n the future. [01:34] Kubuntu: 1. Fedora 9/Ubuntu: 0. [01:34] Kismet hardlocked my system in fedora and ubuntu. Kubuntu it didn't. Wee! :D [01:34] dthacker & ubottu --- thanks [01:34] Thanks for the help guys. [01:35] rikard: your X server is set as an shell environment variable. When you su -, you take root's shell and leave yours. If you su (no dash) or sudo, you bring your shell environment with you. [01:36] Dragnslcr is right about GUI apps and sudo. [01:36] I see! [01:36] Thank you, dt. That makes more sense now. [01:36] Tomorrow is Linux day at the course I'm taking, and maybe I'll be able to do base functions without coming into IRC to torture the volunteers. [01:37] Last question for the time: The base video drivers that installed with kubuntu have my desktop at a very low resolution. Does anyone have ar ecommendation as to what Nvidia drivers to get? Are there some on apt, or should I get the proprietary from nvidia? [01:38] no idea on that one. [01:39] Oh, wow! The aircrack suite works with the default driver in kubuntu too. [01:39] Fantastic! [01:41] rikard...I had to revert to the old nvidia driver for my laptop...it might work for you [01:43] Whats a good program to burn an iso to dvd? [01:44] Does k3b support iso? [01:44] k3b [01:44] Thanks. [01:44] or mkisofs [01:45] mkisofs is a command line tool...u comfortable with that? [01:46] yogi_: mkisofs is to create an iso. To burn one you'd need instead cdrecord [01:46] yogi_: doesn't mkisofs make iso's? [01:47] cdrecord is included in the distro...mkisofs utilises that [01:48] Whats the proper init to run the nvidia proprietary driver installation at, so that X is not present? [01:52] whoa [01:52] Genii && Jucato: see man mkisofs [01:53] but Genii is right cdrtools are necessary to burn to dvd [01:53] i see [01:53] thank you [01:53] mkisofs makes the file system [01:54] but you pass arguments to send ISO to the burner from mkisofs [01:57] How do I change it so that I have to double click files to open them? This single click stuff gives me ptsd from windows ME. [01:57] does anyone know what the deal is with KDE 4.x ---- any word on stability issues [01:58] yogi_, its becoming more stable,, but the usability sucks [01:58] yogi_: 4.0 for devs, 4.1 for users, 4.2 for stable users [01:58] rikard: kcontrol > peripherals > mouse [01:58] I had trouble with 4.1 [01:58] same here...was using with hardy [01:59] kde4 is basicly just eyecandy atm .. IMO [01:59] i use fluxbox for my work sessions and KDE for school sessions [01:59] LOL ... needs me some eye candy at times [01:59] Thanks, yogi [01:59] np [02:00] Wheres kcontrol? Hahaha. [02:00] u can envoke from xterm : kcontrol [02:00] LOL [02:00] so.. anyone know of a good pyqt4 tutorial? [02:01] try google [02:01] Wow, kubuntu is great. [02:01] It feels like home. [02:01] i prefer it over gnome [02:01] yuji: yogi_: 4.1 is not released yet, its just a RC [02:01] i know but i had to try it [02:01] :-D [02:02] i have reverted to old release [02:02] nuxil: do a search in Stumbleupon [02:03] say Dedi...ny advice on messing w/ candidates?

I am just very surprised that it hasn't been solved yet [02:17] paolo: have you checked launchpad for a bug? Maybe it hasn't been reported properly. You can sometimes find workarounds there. [02:19] dthacker-work: no... I just switched to (k)ubuntu. Where exactly do I need to go? [02:19] hellhound_: there are several different fixes here.

[02:51] Devourer: From cli do: sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager and comment out the [/usr/bin/kdm] line by placing # in front of it [02:51] note that this will remove the default Kubuntu login manager and default to just a text login [02:52] or just do : sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm [02:52] or that [02:52] LOL [02:52] ;) [02:53] nuxil's way is easier and faster...but not for noobs (like myself!)

[03:41] genii, thats the one hes trying to install [03:42] ok ill show u all the thing they say? after i write sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:42] No [03:42] ok [03:44] dynoll3, do you still got the bin file ? [03:44] yes [03:44] All you need is https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files/documents/1834/84267/lg3d-core_1.0.1_dev_i686.deb [03:44] And install it with dpkg [03:44] Don't mess around with bin files, etc etc [03:45] is that the stable version? [03:45] (i want the stable version) [03:45] Thats the stable version [03:45] genii, its normal that it open openoffice? [03:45] lol.. no [03:45] Requires package sun-java6-jdk installed first [03:46] um, based upon the comments on ubuntugeek this install seems to be hit and miss. others are having the same issue [03:47] try bin file as last result.. you can always uninstall the binfile with ./thefile --uninstall [03:47] ok [03:47] Hmm That Lookinimeg glasis stuff has always been a little flakey every time ive dared to try it [03:48] Dr_willis: I've managed it a few times now, but it's a resource hog [03:48] hungry hippo...needs lots of mem [03:48] genii, yea. every so often its name pops up again.. and people try it.. and sem to quickly get sick of it. :) [03:48] it's a great concept though [03:49] whats so spesial about it? [03:49] I find a lot of the features just get in the way of doing real work. :) [03:49] have they actually done anything new to it? or did someone just find it.. and now we are talking about it again? [03:49] when i write sudo chmod 755 lookingglass.bin (its the name of my file), they say that they cant find the file [03:49] i think dynol thought it looked cool [03:50] ya it looked cool [03:50] dynoll3, you need to cd to the dir you downloaded it too [03:50] remember KISS [03:50] on desk [03:50] cd /? [03:50] cd ~/Desktop [03:50] then cd /home/you/Desktop [03:50] ok sorry [03:50] this install is already a pain. I had the same issue as you [03:51] but I got it working, slowly as getall [03:51] so whats so spesial about this glasses anyway ? [03:51] dynoll3, i think yOu may want to be learning You 'might' goof up the system [03:51] nuxil, lots of silly eyecandy/effects last i looked. [03:51] nothing, just a nice idea [03:51] compiz is better [03:51] nuxil: It's basically eyecandy which runs in a java environment [03:51] If you really wan tto test it out.. there is a live cd./ [03:51] Dr_willis, for that we got compiz [03:51] ok [03:51] nuxil, this was around about 4+ years befor there was a compiz [03:52] ahh. so compiz > the glasses [03:52] :9 [03:52] it can also do some things i recall that ive not seen done with compiz. [03:53] You can for instance spin an app around on the screen and write memo on the reverse, etc [03:53] the latest release date i see for the looking glass stuff is 2006... [03:53] that just sounds anying [03:53] nuxil: It's not worth the overhead, anyhow [03:54] I think it would be great if it utilized multi-touch [03:54] genii, hehe. i belive you.. [03:54] I feel the same way about most eye candy. [03:54] joj [03:55] it would be a mistake for linux users and developers to discount eye candy [03:55] hi! [03:55] I feel its a mistake for Developers to 'force' eyecandy into being a 'big selling point' [03:56] or companies.. or whoever.. :) [03:56] good point [03:56] Hardware Makers LOVE it :) [03:56] Used to be the big 'gotta update the pc' thing was new games.. now its just so you can do the same job.. on the new eyecandy desktop... [03:56] Dr_willis, yeah,, there is little point in just sitting and looking at a fine desktop.. little work gets doen.. [03:56] * genii pets his 8800GTS [03:56] unless u use multi touch tech [03:57] :-D [03:57] genii, gotta love its dual feature as a space heater! [03:57] genii, i got the same card :) [03:57] It *does* heat up a lot. It also covers 2 other slots since it's massive [03:57] genii, have you ever gotten the tvout (svid) to work ? [03:57] I got a 8800gtsXXX :) [03:58] tv out works on mine. I do recall.. [03:58] i dont get mine to work. [03:58] !flash [03:58] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:58] It works here too, though right now I have the dvi outs hhoked by hdmi adapters to 2 plugs on my tv anyhow [03:58] !konqueror [03:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about konqueror [03:58] what's the package [03:58] I need to install flash into konqueror? [03:59] nuxil, i do recall that on some nvidia cards i have to have to have the tv pluged in when i boot up. [03:59] probably can just find from the package manager [03:59] Dr_willis, yeah i have tryed that,. without luck. [04:00] my old gt 6600 i could just plug in and it was on,, [04:00] nuxil, heck on some of my nvidia cards. if i just hooked up the tv.. when installing the os.. and unplugged the monitor. It would default to the tv :) [04:00] It does seem to depend on th eexact video card. [04:01] or else i enable twinview and clone the display to the tv. [04:01] you lucky bastard :p i tryed all thouse ways. [04:02] I have like 4 different nvidia cards. :) I took out a 'bigger/faster' card from one machine and replaced it with a slower QUIETER 5500 I think. :) [04:02] for my movie player box. [04:02] why : cd ~/desktop dont work? [04:02] Use a D and not a d [04:02] Because Linix is CASE SenesEtiVe! [04:03] :) [04:03] i would like to put mythtv on my tv. since i got a tvcard with 2 tuners. hw mpeg encoder [04:03] ohhh [04:03] Linux FUNdaMENTALS :) [04:03] cant find command [04:03] oh ok [04:03] i got it [04:04] yo nuxil, thanks for the help earlier [04:04] np. [04:04] have fun yall ... i'm gonna go eat me a magick brownie [04:05] and no jokes about that [04:05] LOL [04:05] Peace out dude! [04:05] l8r [04:05] ;) [04:05] i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and was wanting to install kde4 applications on it, what repo, if any, do i need to add? currently apt-get gives kde3.5 apps [04:05] gimme [04:05] I'm trying to use kismet/aircrack-ng/airodump-ng on Kubuntu with an Atheros wireless chipset (Supposedly the best chipset to do it with), and for some reason I get an error message that it couldn't set monitor mode on ath0. Is it possible the base kubuntu driverdoesn't support monitor? [04:07] rikard, ath0? usaly you do airmon ethX start [04:07] eth? eth are ethernet interfaces, aren't they? [04:07] rikard, you can try iwconfig ethX mode Monitor [04:08] bastid_raZor: I'm sure they'll know something about it in #kubuntu-kde4 [04:08] genii; ahh, i thought this was the kde4 channel. thanks [04:08] np [04:08] rikard, hope your not dumping my packs :p [04:09] Nah. I'm practicing some stuff I'm learning in the SANS Security Essentials class. [04:09] Or, at least trying to. I don't want to take the easy route and use live cds. [04:09] So I'm trying to configure my lab. [04:09] But I seem to be having issues getting my wireless card to cooperate, even though its supposed to be one of the best ones to use. [04:11] rikard, ifconfig -a to see all devices [04:11] rikard, also iwconfig should show you which card that the IEEE 802.11 extensiom [04:11] *that got the [04:11] rikard, there should also be a patch included in the aircrack-ng tools "sources", dont know if you need to patch [04:12] Sources? I just used a packmanager. [04:12] to patch the drivr [04:12] i know, but where would i find the patch if i used packmanagers? [04:12] normaly you only need to patch if you want to do arp injection while in monitore mode [04:13] Yeah. That's what I'm looking to do. [04:13] WHere can I find this patch? [04:13] they are in the source.. google for the source [04:13] Ah, I've found the driver patch section on the aircrack ng site. [04:14] Let's see! [04:14] rikard, keep in mind. you might need to recompile the kernel with the new patched driver [04:14] eh? [04:14] i have to do whta now? :o [04:15] get the header files for your current linux [04:15] this sounds like a big deal [04:15] then patch the driver.. if you are lucky,, you only need to make the module. [04:15] rikard, its a big deal to be a black hat :p [04:16] what are these .patch files? [04:16] codes which must be added to your driver [04:16] how do I apply them? :( [04:16] I think some More learning is going to be going on tonight for rikard :) [04:16] lshw -C network to see what module your card uses [04:17] * nuxil agrees [04:17] PCI (sysfs) [04:17] dont spam [04:17] Wait... Theres a lot more ;D haha [04:17] I won't. [04:18] [04:18] [04:18] i just installed konqueror and into ubuntu/gnome i am trying to get flash and nsplugins and flashplugin-nonfree are already installed. ,but flash does not load. and i checked the config and the plugin is there [04:18] Ok. What info do I need from these, nuxil? [04:19] What confuses me a bit, is I have a wifi0 device, and an ath0 device. [04:19] but when I just did what you told me, the ath0 device is not there. [04:19] Only wifi0. [04:22] damit.. was going to cat /dev/ppp but did a cat /dev/port by mistake.. hehe forze my system :p [04:22] Bah. I'm lost. I have an ath0 device, and a wifi0 device, and I'm not sure which is what. [04:23] but sudo lshw -C network doesn't show the ath0 device, and yet iwconfig/ifconfig do [04:23] rikard, you must first get a understanding of what card is what before you even can go on a cracking your new. i suggest you go read up a bit on linux networking [04:24] *new - net [04:24] rikard: Thats because the aircrack tools were originally written for the prism2 /Atheros cards.If you don't have one of those it makes a virtual one [04:24] does any one know about walkmans/portable audio players in xubuntu? [04:25] Ah! [04:25] I see. [04:25] I didn't know that :) [04:26] Having trouble mounting it- can't even see it- [04:28] or does any one know where I can get some documentation to figure it out? [04:29] murdoc_: The manual for your walkman might say something about what modes it can be set to when connecting to computer [04:31] 1what does kubuntu have that will compile c? make is giving me c related error messages [04:31] rikard: build-essential [04:32] thank you genii [04:32] np [04:32] yeah nuxil [04:32] i've seen it done before. [04:32] i'm just trying to figure out why my ath devices is giving me troubles [04:32] genii-just one mode-it's not even supposed to work for anything other than windows-however I've been running it in fedora8 for some time, just switched to kubuntu [04:33] and telling me it doesn't support monitor mode. [04:34] murdoc_: No other idea offhand then. Likely it needs some udev rule [04:34] getting openssl errors now genii. [04:35] would it be.. openssl-devel? [04:35] Could somebody please help me set up restricted drivers? I enabled the check box and restarted to a very low resolution login screen, after login everything is messed up, background doesn't draw properly, menu background's won't draw, etc [04:35] is there a "connected hardware" apt, or something like that I should look at- as in a "my computer" type prog [04:35] no, its not openssl-devel [04:36] rikard: When it complains about some lib not found or so usually then install the -dev version [04:36] just -dev not -devel [04:36] openssl-dev didn't give me anything :( [04:37] Hi *. I cannot send mail using kmail unless I use "send via...". I didn't have this problem with gentoo (Same version of kmail). Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this one? [04:37] rikard: Try libssl-dev [04:38] Thanks so much for putting up with my mental retardation, genii. [04:38] rikard: No worries [04:38] It's compiling now. [04:39] <_2> genii will you put up with my "mental retardation" ? [04:39] rikard: However I am extremely tired and departing soon so someone else will need to tackle whatever bugbears may come [04:39] * _2 buys genii a cup of java [04:39] I'll try again later. Tomorrows Linux day at my course anyway. [04:39] So maybe I won't be a complete moron come sundown. [04:40] _2: Heya. I'd have the coffee but leaving soon actually. Unless it's some interesting emergency? [04:41] hey guys [04:41] im trying to make a ssh conection in other user here in my localhost [04:41] but is returning an error like thios [04:41] this [04:41] ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused [04:41] anyone knows how to fix? [04:42] <_2> genii no, just normal idiosencracy [04:42] chackal_sjc: are you connecting to a computer behind a router? If so you need to port forward [04:42] powertool08: what you mean? [04:42] chackal_sjc: You have openssh-server installed? [04:42] powertool08: He said localhost. So I imagine it's not behind a router ;) [04:43] powertool08: its a localhost user.. in my machine [04:43] <_2> chackal_sjc is sshd running ? pidof sshd [04:43] no [04:43] <_2> can't ssh to (sshd is not running here) period [04:43] i dont have the openssh-server installed [04:44] chackal_sjc: That explains it then [04:44] yeah, im installing [04:44] yeah, now it works good.. [04:44] thanks [04:45] <_2> chackal_sjc and configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config before you let some black pro ssh in as root [04:45] root login is disabled by default [04:45] <_2> genii not in sshd it's not. so if you set a root password you also have enabled remote root [04:46] _2: what you mean?? [04:46] <_2> ^ === nuxil_ is now known as nuxil [04:47] <_2> chackal_sjc that's what i mean. if you even enable the root login "which you probably shouldn't anyway" and also run the default sshd_conf.... the defaults are to allow root and listen on all networks. [04:47] _2: how do i configure that? [04:47] im a ssh newbie [04:48] <_2> you edit the file probably best to read up on it a little first but it has some instructions in it. [04:48] <_2> one should never "ignorantly" run any service. always learn a little about what you are opening up first. [04:49] _2: ok, Im gonna take a look in few minuts.. [04:49] Interesting. This enable root is new since 6.06 at least [04:49] Or mybe since I have often server version [04:50] <_2> grep root /etc/ssh/sshd_config [04:51] <_2> err -i that [04:51] chackal_sjc: Change line: PermitRootLogin yes to: PermitRootLogin no in that file [04:52] genii: thats it? [04:52] <_2> exactly and/or set the listen line to 192.168.0.0/16 or something local only [04:52] chackal_sjc: Yes. alt-f2 then: kdesu kate /etc/ssh/sshd_config to open it with proper rights for editing [04:52] chackal_sjc: I'd change Protocol to only "2" not "1,2" maybe change port number [04:52] powertool08: why that? [04:52] <_2> powertool08 that's default now. [04:53] chackal_sjc: Also restart the server after by: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [04:53] <_2> chackal_sjc for stronger security obviously [04:53] PermitRootLogin yes, keep that right? [04:53] chackal_sjc: Because port 22 is well know for ssh login, many bots try to use brute-force login attempts for root there. So putting it on some oddball port helps security a lot [04:54] chackal_sjc: protocol 1 is weak, also if you change default port less people find it with scanners [04:54] chackal_sjc: No change the "yes" to a "no" [04:54] <_2> powertool08 changing the port hardly hides the service from nmap [04:55] _2: thats why I said less people [04:55] Protocol 2, is deafault [04:55] <_2> lol ok. [04:55] <_2> chackal_sjc yes i said that already [04:55] _2: it hides it from programs who only scan defaults [04:55] genii: so, change port 22 to what? [04:55] _2: Port changing at least prevents attempts from these automated attacks [04:55] chackal_sjc: anything you want that isn't already used, something over 1000 is good [04:56] chackal_sjc: Some number above 1024 and below 65535 that you can remember easily [04:56] <_2> powertool08 yeah it might duck one leftover ms-dos script from 1984 i guess that's right. [04:56] powertool08: Over 1024, others are priveleged ports [04:56] <_2> genii ^ [04:57] <_2> :) [04:58] chackal_sjc: When the port is changed you need attempt login by: ssh -p 12345 servername [04:59] * _2 wonders if port: `dd if=/dev/urandom bs=2 count=1 2>/dev/null | od -l | cut -c18- | tr -d -- '\n'` would work.... [04:59] where 12345 is that number you choose [04:59] <_2> don't use 6667 it will look like an irc server [04:59] chackal_sjc: And DON'T tell us here what the port number you choose is. This channel is public and also logged [05:00] <_2> and a good source for black hat info [05:00] indeed [05:00] _2: Hehe 6667 would be confusing [05:00] yeah,, its good now [05:00] it would be conflicking if he uses irc alot [05:01] indeed² [05:01] nuxil: The clients here should be using 8001 anyways and not 6667 to prevent DCC attacks [05:01] <_2> chackal_sjc i haven't scanned your ip. (unusual as that might sound) but i hope you haven't blindly thrown up an ftp or even http server either.... "never run a service that you don't know anything about, because you will be the only one that can't access it!" [05:02] I'll drink to that [05:02] * genii sips [05:03] <_2> genii but that's been posted so much, that 8001 is just as big a target now anyway... [05:03] yeah,.. good advice [05:04] scan my ip [05:04] to see whats service im running =) [05:04] and tell me [05:04] to let me know [05:04] <_2> !enter | chackal_sjc and don't use enter for punctuation; and don't use enter for punctuation; [05:04] chackal_sjc and don't use enter for punctuation; and don't use enter for punctuation;: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:05] lets spam chackal_sjc with FIN RST FIN RST :p JK [05:05] <_2> nuxil he didn't say reset his services for him lol [05:05] :p [05:06] I have SARA running here. 1 minute [05:06] =] [05:07] You have Samba running which allows me to dump your list of usernames. Also you may be a mail relay [05:08] <_2> i keep canablising my server soon it will be down to a nic and a cpu unless i can figure out how to make it work without the cpu :))) [05:08] <_2> genii pm him his user names [05:08] hehe [05:08] * _2 waits to intercept.... [05:08] I'm not sure i can do it from inside the web interface of SARA [05:09] (it just probes for vulnerabilities) [05:09] <_2> well it can be done though and that's the point. [05:10] * _2 hat is way to white to do that anyway [05:10] chackal_sjc: Also you have public shares on your box which are listable, and a user with a null passowrd can login and see them [05:10] genii: i dont have a samba running [05:10] I don't even have samba [05:11] hangon checking settings [05:11] Hah! I just scanned my NAS [05:11] 1 minute :) [05:14] genii: hahahahha [05:14] =] [05:14] chackal_sjc: Your box looks good. 1 sec I'll PM the results [05:14] ok [05:15] hey scan me aswell.. if you have nothing else to do..

[05:20] chackal_sjc: I had to manually compile it here actually. It is not in standard repos [05:20] chackal_sjc: It is based on an old tool called SATAN [05:21] http://www-arc.com/sara/ for more info [05:21] http://www-arc.com/sara/ ?

[05:29] yea true.. but i guess its a source [05:29] qt curve aka a dock program cuz i'm try'n to find a dock program like the one that mac has but have it for kubuntu [05:29] <_2> that assumption can bite you here in *buntu land [05:30] i think my assumption is right ;p [05:30] <_2> joe_ extract the content and see if it has an installer script [05:30] i'm new to linux, i have only had kubuntu on my computer for about a week and i'm still try'n to get the hang of it cuz i'm try'n to use linux more than windows [05:31] Box locked [05:31] ok hold a sec will i extract it to my desktop === genii_ is now known as genii [05:31] joe_, ther is a docker called kooldock in the repos. [05:31] I find kubuntu has no really reat docks [05:31] <_2> genii your box ? [05:31] *great [05:32] any estimates on kubuntu's kde 4.1 packages? :> [05:32] i have tryied to use kooldock but it wouldn't run don't know why [05:33] joe_: the only dock I ever fou have to be running compizdn to my satisfaction is ubuntu - avant dock, but you [05:34] it doesn't have a script installer [05:34] joe_: the only dock I ever found to my satisfaction is ubuntu - avant dock, but you have to be running compiz [05:34] * genii sips and scans [05:34] <_2> joe_ then prolly a streight forward ./configure && make && sudo make install [05:34] it has config.h.cmake makedist.sh and somemore with about 7 folders as well [05:35] <_2> !b-e | joe_ seeing that you are asking i should prolly point out; [05:35] joe_ seeing that you are asking i should prolly point out;: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:35] it's kool, thnx [05:36] i don't know how to do that of what ur as'n _2 [05:36] joe_, if no one said it to you.. when compiling,, be sure you got the requierments [05:36] its should be listed in the install or readme file [05:36] <_2> joe_ read the page. and the command i posted is verbatum [05:37] oh ok, i'm srry [05:37] <_2> joe_ reposting ;;; then prolly a streight forward ./configure && make && sudo make install [05:38] oh ok but like i said befor i'm a noobie when it come's to linux [05:40] <_2> genii well i what it did scan, did it find any weakness ? [05:41] <_2> :) [05:41] Not done yet :) [05:41] <_2> genii or does it only report at the end ? [05:43] <_2> :) [05:43] wb [05:44] <_2> ok [05:50] is it possible to make kdm execte a command on login ? [05:50] <_2> nuxil i'm sure. [05:50] <_2> nuxil in the config [05:51] but it has to be spesific to the use. [05:52] !autostart | nuxil [05:52] nuxil: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html [05:52] two places you can put the command/script in: ~/.kde/env or ~/.kde/Autostart [05:52] Jucato, no. i cant do that [05:52] why? [05:53] its for setting up cryped home disk. when users login.. i have several crypted disks for users [05:53] * Jucato is not sure he know what that means in this case [05:55] <_2> nuxil you probably want pam to handle that then [05:55] Jucato, lets say i have 2 users. and 2 cryped disk. i need to make a script or somthing that creates the mapper and mount the disk for each user. [05:56] bc .. i have to press. CTRL ALT F1 and login. then run cryptsetup -c aes -d /usb/mykey create home /dev/hdX before i log in with kdm now [05:57] ah.. hm... then I don't know... sorry [05:57] kde dislike getting a ""new"" dir after login.. thats why i have to do it the hard way.. [05:58] sounds like you have an unusual use-case [05:58] <_2> nuxil what about mounting on the same dir ? [05:58] <_2> start mount over the top of... [05:59] <_2> nuxil or have fstab mount them... ? [05:59] remember i got 2 disk. i dont think mounting 2 disks on same dir is such a good ide [05:59] <_2> nuxil same dir ? [05:59] <_2> what ? [05:59] <_2> one user has two disks ? two different homes ? [06:00] no.. once use for each disk [06:00] <_2> that's not the same dir then [06:00] <_2> and you could put the users home anywhere you want [06:01] * _2 sets _2 home to /usr/local/share/apps/anon/something/ [06:01] yea i see. but the point was that. userA should not be able to go in userB's dir [06:01] <_2> nuxil that's done with permissions settings [06:02] both got sudo access.. but they got seperate keys. [06:02] mount options, if it's a vfat volume, _2 [06:02] <_2> well you are spitting in the wind if you think you can keep root jr. out of anything. [06:02] guaqua, no.. its ext3 with aes crypation [06:03] <_2> if either has full "root jr." you can not keep them out of anything period. [06:03] _2, as long as userA or B dosent got the key for the other user,, he can not mount the disk,, well he can,, but ut would be invalid data for him [06:03] <_2> if either has full "root jr." you can not keep them out of anything period. [06:04] <_2> anything root can setup root can access [06:05] <_2> my advice would be to limit their power in /etc/sudoers and use permissions to restrict what they see/where they go/what they do. [06:06] _2 ther are 2 seperate keys . once for each disk.. the keys are on 2 usb disk. which each user got.. so userA can never access userB unlsess he got the key [06:06] and both need sudo access [06:07] i probealy need to make som silly bash script for this. [06:07] <_2> do what you want. making me root jr. on any box == hands on == i own it. [06:08] _2, you might own the box. but not the data.. you beed the key to access it.. [06:08] <_2> do you pay when you bet ? [06:09] <_2> getting the key is childs play when you own the box [06:10] if i want the key i need to hit userA in the head and grab the key from his pocket. [06:10] <_2> nope. jsut wait until he logs in and check your email [06:11] why oh why would one kde accound have sound, but not the other ??? === n8k99 is now known as when === when is now known as n8k99 [06:12] I try to use amarok, I get "unable to initialize any audio drivers" [06:12] and youtube doesnt work [06:12] I tried asoundconf --reset-default-card, and I tried logging out/logging in [06:12] but my other accound the sound works find [06:13] (fine) [06:13] <_2> anom01y did you use sudo with some graphical app in the one account does one belong to groups the other doesnt [06:13] <_2> either of those could explain it [06:13] _2, how is he suppose to log in an check my mail when ? one user at the time on the pc. [06:13] <_2> !kdesu [06:13] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:13] _2: hmm possibly [06:14] I have no clue [06:14] I will just check the groups to see if they are the same [06:14] <_2> nuxil i didn't say. he checks your mail. i implied that the script i would use would email me the key when he used it... [06:15] <_2> anom01y one may be in admin and the other not. by default anyone in the admin group is "root jr." and can do anything on the box in question. [06:15] well the one accound wasnt on admin, or audio, like the other account (that works) is [06:16] <_2> anom01y you did notice what i just said ? [06:16] yeah I see that thank you [06:16] <_2> if you don't want them to both be "root jr." don't add the other to the admin account. [06:16] ok [06:17] yeah I will just check the "audio" group that wasnt checked [06:17] <_2> you're welcome. [06:17] is "adm" the same as "admin" becuase I have both [06:17] <_2> anom01y depends on the version. you can sudo grep adm /etc/sudoers to see [06:18] <_2> it's the sudoers file that makes the differance there [06:18] yeah I see that I am not in the sudoers group in kuser, but I can still do sudu in konsole for some reason, I think kuser is out of date or something [06:18] <_2> if it has admin and not adm then only admin if it has adm and not admin then.... [06:19] <_2> you should never be in the sudoers group methinks [06:19] <_2> that removes the need to enter any authentication [06:20] <_2> i.e. it's basicly == login as root, run as root [06:20] ahhh ok I see thank you [06:20] what about "cdrom" [06:20] <_2> yes be in that [06:22] <_2> and no not "disks" reason being if anyone finds an exploit that lets them execute any command they might "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sd*" which wouldn't need any added permission to wipe out your hdd's [06:23] <_2> and i'm not talking one partition on one disk there btw [06:23] its a real science hey [06:23] well I'd say its about right hopefully the sound problem is fixed [06:23] how can i customiz kooldock? [06:24] <_2> anom01y k i'm out for a bit. good luck to your pinguin [06:24] thank you [06:24] i've been use'n linux for about a few weeks but there are so many thing's i don't know about linux so i ask for help and hope to get answers [06:25] i did try to cuztomize kooldock with putt'n appiccations on it but it didn't work [06:25] can anyone help me out? [06:25] joe_, in linux you must take some time to read up on stuff.. [06:26] joe_, i bet its explained on the homepage or in its doc's howto customize [06:26] nuxil: gezz thnx i guess i can't count on anyone here to help me out besides ppl alway's tell'n me to do it myself [06:27] i'm outta here & hope to NEVER come back here to ask for help ever again!!! [06:27] 0.o [06:28] <_2> on a non-*buntu self compiled app no less. [06:28] and has to do it by himself :/ [06:28] he will be back tomorrow.. unless he installes windows again :p [06:30] isnt there a getting started site for kubuntu?

[06:34] oh i'm glad i wasn't here for that one [06:34] it took him full 4 minutes [06:34] the rampant apostrophe abuse alone is a sign of an unstable mind...

[06:48] yea,, its becomes natrual for someone. [06:49] What is the command to switch in opengl for the nvidia card? [06:49] erm, i think i must get myself a typo pluging. [06:50] Load "glx" ?

Got the nvidia drivers (prop). Not sure why it is so much klunkier than 7.10. Something not set right?!?!? [06:52] K`zan, how did you comapre then? [06:53] K`zan,have you set the driver to nvidia in xorg ? [06:54] glxgears [06:54] 65141 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13028.101 FPS [06:54] :) [06:55] <_2> i wonder if there is a way to measure the display on this box... [06:55] nuxil: Yes, set to nvidia and glx is loades too... [06:55] <_2> err i should specify "that i'm looking at" [06:56] ehh ? thake a mesure band and mesure the desktop :p [06:56] 33207 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6641.344 FPS [06:56] _2, glxgears meaures fps.. compiz has also one plugin that does that.

[06:58] <_2> nuxil i just said "i wonder if there is a way" [06:58] It looks good but desktop studders and it takes about a second or so to close firefox windows. None of this in 7.10. Tempted to install 7.04 (.10?) again and see if it happens there now. [06:58] ahh, i misunderstud [06:59] K`zan, you got a old card.. try go to nividia.com and try a older driver.. that might help [06:59] *nvidia.com === Don_Miguel is now known as BlinkyToon [07:00] Might be it, when I was installing those manually I knew what drivers I had :). === BlinkyToon is now known as Don_Miguel [07:00] <_2> nuxil "about thirty more typos today and i'll have to relimquish the crown to you..." --typo king #kubuntu [07:01] hehe ;) [07:01] _2, idea.. make a script that floods your console and and count the lines it floods pr /sec .. lol [07:01] <_2> i could do that.

[07:55] <_2> so if it's kde3 you probably used kcontrol without knowing what was actually being ran behind the senes === ed__ is now known as drifter [07:55] hmm. thats probably what I did. how do i get back to that? [07:56] <_2> it won't look the same. to have the full kcontrol open as it does for any given part [07:56] <_2> elaine alt+f2 kcontrol or kmenu > system settings > "settings manager" or something like that [07:57] <_2> that last one doesn't sound right.... [07:57] <_2> but it's in there somewhere. i just call kcontrol and use it's navagation [07:58] looking [07:58] <_2> guido if no one in here can you might try ##windows too [07:58] _2 thanks [07:58] I'm also trying on #vbox [07:59] well, when I was trying to do that earlier, I installed some new startup manager and founda way to manage the screen previous to that [07:59] <_2> yeah in ##linux for any linux side of that... [07:59] but not the password splash screen thinggie [07:59] and theres no kcontrol in the windows interface, can I find it from the terminal? [07:59] <_2> elaine ah you may have switched from kdm to gdm ? [08:00] <_2> elaine sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [08:00] i have kbabel etc but no kcontrol [08:00] yes [08:01] <_2> what part of "<_2> elaine alt+f2 kcontrol" is so confusing ??? [08:01] <_2> the fact that i pitched in a kmenu > system settings with it maybe ? [08:04] there is a chance anything is possible [08:04] Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, [08:04] and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

[08:06] i will do that [08:08] <_2> nuxil seeing anything interesting ? :) [08:09] its kubuntu because its a program called Konversation which is the default irc chat client so it used the K [08:09] <_2> elaine so why are you went ? [08:10] <_2> went is past tense of going [08:10] what do you see? [08:10] <_2> nuxil nothing much yet. [08:10] <_2> one http port but you expected that [08:10] yep [08:11] i expect you to find 2 ports open [08:11] oh +irc port [08:11] 6667 [08:11] <_2> just figured you were taking the opertunity to brush up on your intruder detection skill [08:11] <_2> you running an irc server ? [08:12] no. but shouldnt it be listed open as long as iam connected to irc.. [08:12] <_2> nuxil you connect to port 6667 or 8001 on the server but the client port is not that. it's a random high count port 32497 for example [08:13] aha.. i'll need to fix that in my scrapy fw script [08:13] <_2> and no it wont be "open" it's established connection only. [08:14] <_2> nuxil and no need to add more iptables rules the "established" will let the traffic back in from the "established" ip you connected to. [08:14] <_2> that's what it's for.

I'm trying to figure out files it's pulling from my aptoncd repo disk so I can collate all the necessary ones onto just one disc [08:17] <_2> rodya_ maybe. but are you looking for the general dpkg log insted ? [08:17] <_2> rodya_ check /var/log/dpkg* [08:18] <_2> !dpkg | rodya_ [08:18] rodya_: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [08:18] <_2> !adept | rodya_ [08:18] rodya_: adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [08:18] I might be. Basically, I'm trying to install the BARE minimum files needed for russian language menus, the gimp, and mp3/xvid/dvd support on a clean install of hardy [08:19] <_2> !locales [08:19] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [08:19] on one computer with internet, so I can later figure out which ones to put together to install on computers without the internet [08:19] <_2> rodya_ i haven't viewed it but that localeConf page may be what you want [08:20] i like what wubi does, i like the "my grandma can use it" nature of ubuntu, but i like the speed of arch linux. is there any way i can have all three or at least a fast ubuntu on a laptop intended for a technophobe? [08:20] <_2> and yes if you still want the log file <_2> rodya_ check /var/log/dpkg* [08:20] let me rephrase... how do i make ubuntu faster? is there an easy way to stop a lot of the services that start up by default from not starting up? i remember having to use something like sysv-rc-conf and it was painful. no GUI frontend (like the system settings -> advanced -> services) eased the pain either [08:21] <_2> tomasko you undo all the "defaults" i.e. configure the base system and the desktop with only the things you need [08:21] I'm a gnome person myself, but doing this for a school with kubuntu installed, so I'm just a bit of a deer in headlights, and keep stumbling stupidly over myself due to differences in the interface... Really need to get more comfortable with the terminal side of all this :P [08:21] how do i reset the iptables to the default settings? [08:22] <_2> iow take the fluff out of it. [08:22] <_2> Big_Buddha_Daddy sudo iptables -F [08:22] thank you [08:23] do i need to restart? [08:23] <_2> no [08:23] coolio [08:23] <_2> Big_Buddha_Daddy iptables -L # this will list the rules [08:24] ok [08:24] _2: i don't have bios access to this machine so i have to boot into the lame windows install every time, so wubi seems to be my only way to a workable linux install [08:24] <_2> Big_Buddha_Daddy sudo iptables -F # this will flush all rules [08:24] should i do that? [08:24] IP=iptables ; for table in nat mangle ; do $IP -F ; $IP -X ; $IP $table -X ; $IP $table -F ; done [08:24] _2: so, is there a way to limit what processes start up on boot? because between arch and ubuntu, i've only really noticed a difference in boot time, not actual usage latency [08:25] <_2> tomasko have antivirus protection turned on in bios to keep you from writing a new MBR ??? [08:25] _2: no, it's an old corporate laptop that the company says it is fine to install linux, etc. on, but they want to retain the bios password on the system [08:26] I'm trying to set a headless winxp with virtualbox and have seamless integration following the steps listed here http://ace2016.net/tutorials/linux/run-windows-xp-applications-seamlessly-on-your-linux-desktop and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433359 but for some reason I can only get it to work once, upon reboot I couldn't connect remotely. I'm running kubuntu hardy heron. can anyone lend me a hand? [08:26] _2: but either way, i can't mess with the boot order or partition the system [08:26] does that log file get periodically flushed? does it persist after a reboot? Just in checking for it in general, I'm not seeing it on my own laptop (though it's been a week or so since I've installed anything here) [08:27] <_2> tomasko yes like i said configure everything. but there is not a "simple one click" answer. SO startup processes are in /etc/inittab /etc/init.d/ /etc/rc?.d/ ... [08:27] <_2> !upstart | tomasko [08:27] tomasko: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [08:28] oh, okay, thanks [08:28] <_2> rodya_ no and yes, and i did use a wildcard on purpose, because cron will make backups. /var/log/dpkg* <<< may not be one file but many. [08:30] <_2> tomasko there may also be several documents on the interweb about speeding up ubuntu. but i will caution that installed in ntfs space is going to run slower than in native linux space. it just has to. [08:30] <_2> it's like running from a cd as opposed to an hdd [08:30] _2 %? on scan [08:31] <_2> it just can't perform quite as well. [08:31] <_2> nuxil tired ? [08:31] _2 that's fine, i can't help that. i mean i want to control what i can to be the fastest given the constraints [08:31] <_2> nuxil i'll tell you tomarrow. go sleep. [08:31] _2, a little bit.. its 09:30 am. and i been up all night [08:32] <_2> tomasko k. [08:32] <_2> promice. my hat is not black. [08:32] i must be awake until afternoon else, my day rythme gets totaly screwed up === _2 is now known as Agent_bob [08:33] my collar is not blue either [08:34] 11.66% [08:34] I'm trying to set a headless winxp with virtualbox and have seamless integration following the steps listed here http://ace2016.net/tutorials/linux/run-windows-xp-applications-seamlessly-on-your-linux-desktop and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433359 but for some reason I can only get it to work once, upon reboot I couldn't connect remotely. I'm running kubuntu hardy heron. can anyone lend me a hand? [08:34] Agent_bob, that will be running all day :p [08:35] nah. just an hour or two more. [08:35] maybe 5 :))) [08:36] oh and i'm well aware of what timezone that ip is in. may not know exactly where you are. but the ip is reasonably easy to find. [08:38] the irc client will show you my ip tho [08:39] and a whois on that will show where it's registered. [08:39] can adept create download scripts to use on other machines to download packages, like synaptic does? [08:39] !apt-move | rodya_ [08:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-move [08:39] !aptmove | rodya_ [08:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about aptmove [08:39] bah.

[08:42] nobody laughs ;/ === trummer is now known as hell === hell is now known as helloween82 [08:42] oh okay, that's manageable [08:43] rodya_ there may even be other related packages you can search for... apt-cache search ^apt [08:44] and use apt-cache show [08:44] for detailed information on them.

Version 0.4.5-1 (hardy), package size 11 kB, installed size 120 kB [08:48] ah, man! It just occurred to me that this may be indeed trickier than I thought. I'm going to need to find out what i need installed on this fresh box without internet here, then I have to go to a computer with access to the net, but is running windows... so I will have to hand download these files from the package mirror site. I s'pose all i need is whatever app will generate a wget script, and then read it myself, and one by one download the necessary [08:48] files? [08:49] man, Ninotsminda just needs unlimited DSL already :( [08:49] * Agent_bob thinks there should be one more package "apt-complain" to allow users to complain dirrectly to package builders about bugs in [pre,post][rm,inst] scripts.... [08:49] rodya_ i think that's what apt-zip is for [08:49] okay. that's the one I'll explore. thanks for the help! [08:50] rodya_ also dont do "apt-get clean" it clears out the package cache. i.e. deletes the packages you already dl'd. insted save them to carry to the other boxen. they are found in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:53] rodya_ i use a script to keep all packages i dl you might have a look at it for thoughts maybe. if you know anything about shell scripts. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d4976c8df [08:54] with it ^ doing apt-get clean doesn't hurt, it only deletes symlinks the packages remain. [08:54] just a thought. [08:58] you know for the time being it might just be a bit simpler - so long as adept shows in it's "preview changes" display every dependency it's going to install along with requested ones, I can just jot them down and pull them from the mirrors myself? [08:58] or am i missing a critical piece of the puzzle? [09:00] well butning to cd what you dl'd on one box and copying them to the other boxen saves dl'ing again. [09:00] burn [09:01] what i'm saying is cloning is easy. you setup one. and copy too all others. [09:02] well yeah, that's the ultimate goal - after the fact I'll put them all together using my computer to create a special aptoncd repo disc and there we go... in business [09:02] if I'm not missing anything [09:03] not sure. but you may be missing the fact that if the packages exist in /var/cache/apt/archives/ on any given box you can use the package manager of choice to install them without needing to dl anything. they are already local.... [09:04] no that much I got, I just don't think I'm going toget the okay at this office today to install hardy on one of their computers, even though I'm going to need to do that eventually anyway [09:05] the complication is that I'll have to do the downloading itself on a windows box, most likely [09:06] I suppose I could use my laptop, but it's running gutsy, so preinstalling them here and just copying the cache is a no-go [09:06] Hello people [09:07] really hoping those hiccoughs on thinkpads get smoothed out for 8.10 [09:07] google as I did, it looked like half the problems (compiz, sound, wifi) have yet to really be cleaned up [09:07] rodya_ for instance, i have 7 boxes setup alike, with same packages installed. i want to update them for security sake. but i don't want each to have to dl. only one. i run sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on the "dl" box. then when finished. i make a tarball like this. sudo tar -czf update.tgz /var/cache/apt/archives /var/lib/apt copy that file "update.tgz" to all boxes and unpack it in / [09:08] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:08] and there all updated with only one dl. === ubuntu_ is now known as Big_Buddha_Daddy [09:09] i need help restoring GRUB, I tried to repair my windows OS, and when i rebooted to go into Ubuntu, it wasnt there [09:10] !grub [09:10] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:10] well that's actually delightfully simple [09:10] thanks for that tip [09:10] put that way [09:10] rodya_ welcome. [09:10] thanks [09:10] Agent_bob: will that remedy it, i mean will i lose my data [09:10] rodya_ yeah sometimes communication is the issue :) [09:11] Big_Buddha_Daddy grub should not cause a data loss. but backups are never a bad idea [09:11] right on, thanks [09:12] some features of grub i like. and sometimes wish i could use grub to boot this box. [09:17] alright, I'm off to give this a try. Thanks for all your help, Agent_bob [09:18] welcome. [09:20] you know it's a shame grub can't find it's buttoc with both hands... i would actually use it if it could boot this box. errr and wouldn't hose my primary superblock. === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [09:46] hi! [09:46] danielantonio [09:51] when will 4.1 be up on kubuntu? [10:15] hi [10:15] anyone up? [10:15] Brydenn [10:15] yes [10:15] nice [10:16] well i just installed kubuntu and having some network issues [10:16] what issues? [10:16] i'm not sure how... but i need to change my name server to 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2 [10:16] * Brydenn has a "modified" modem ;) [10:16] so right now i have no internet on kubuntu :( [10:16] so how do i manually go through and set it up right? [10:16] /etc/resolv.conf [10:17] welll. put it in there,, or open knetworkmanager [10:17] sudo kwrite /etc/resolv.conf [10:17] knetworkmanager? they have a GUI to change that info? [10:18] yes, [10:18] very cool. [10:18] sorry for my ignorance. i'm still very new to all this :) [10:18] now i wont have to reset that info ever time i reboot will i? [10:18] if you write to resolv.conf manually make sure you have no dhclient running / dynamic config in /etc/network/interfaces.. [10:19] alright guys. i'll give some things a try. :) Thanks! [10:20] knetworkmanager manual config is all you need to do if this is your requirement. 4.2.2.1 is a great public dns server but your isps will be faster in lateny [10:20] ya well [10:20] i'll deal :) [10:20] thanks [10:39] hey all [10:40] g day [10:40] ActionParsnip [10:41] word of warning [10:41] don't update [10:41] ? [10:41] dont play frets on fire with tool's schism [10:41] hurts load [10:41] oh. [10:42] i updated and spent a day getting it to boot correctly again. [10:42] what was changed? [10:42] the kernel initramfs pair [10:43] and the stupid initramfs wouldn't make the root devicenode [10:43] * nuxil runs a customs kernel :) [10:44] * Agent_bob now runs a custom initramfs image [10:44] Agent_bob: yeah ive seen kernel stuff on updates but they are held back [10:44] so i was like, "ok if thats how it is" [10:44] hey again - so I might be missing something (again), but out of the box, is kubuntu-restricted-extras not visible to apt without an apt-get update? [10:45] rodya_: no updates are available out of the box, you need to update [10:46] how else does it know anout new stuff [10:46] well, just the straight install of the package - not an update, but marking it for installation [10:47] rodya_: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras; sudo apt-get clean [10:47] rodya_ you did notice that in the example i gave eariler i tar'd /var/lib/apt also ? that's where apt keeps track with what is avalable in it's repos. and the /etc/apt/sources.list lists the repos. [10:47] ActionParsnip why clean ? [10:48] why are you deleting all downloaded packages first ActionParsnip ? [10:48] man i need something to put under my eyes. been up for 22 H.. and must be up at least 6 more: [10:48] cleans out the old debs and makes sure you dont get drive full messages [10:48] -.- [10:48] ActionParsnip he wants to keep his package cache tho [10:49] then omit the clean commands [10:49] its habit for me. i like my system as minimal and punchy as possible [10:50] he has a bandwith issue and several machines to update. [10:50] some not networked maybe. [10:50] i thought it was a single system [10:50] I'm out in the boonies of a developing country with horrible almost nonexistant only through wap internet and I need to save the packages to keep for other comps :) [10:50] rodya_: then dont do the clean command [10:51] yeah [10:51] omg. your dl with wap? [10:51] yeah [10:51] hah [10:51] wap is great for email downloads :D [10:51] :) [10:51] * nuxil gives rodya_ 10 pack of coffee [10:52] I'm in the Peace Corps in the republic of georgia -- the georgian gov't has rolled out linux machines to all the schools, but hasn't really trained administrators in how to use these things or maintain them [10:52] dang [10:52] ah ground breaking.... [10:53] whats new :) [10:53] and even further, we don't have easy net access to get important things like russian menus, etc etc [10:53] rodya_, cant you put the cache on a nfs export ? [10:53] it's been a ridiculous mess, so much of this would have been solved by having the live dvd with all the main repo on it [10:54] more than one way to pull the wool off a /bin/cat [10:54] but the hardy image that made it up on the georgian server is corrupted, dies with i/o errors left and right [10:54] rodya_, it better be a big dvd.. its about 25000 pack in the repo [10:54] or whatever that dvd is, at least [10:55] the dvd that comes out with each release [10:55] alternate install disk [10:56] i would like to have a full boxed set of debian latest stable.... [10:56] I've got it for gutsy, and have all the stuff needed for gutsy, but by random chance gutsy has some unresolved thing going on with the cd burners the ministry bought for these machines [10:56] so it's just whack one mole, three more pop up [10:56] i hope your people are volunteers :) [10:57] good illistration with the moles btw [10:57] some are, and many aren't, but are kind of part timer students and the like [10:57] fff [10:58] so, there you go, there's your peace corps. I don't know terribly well what I'm doing but I can safely say I'm the by default linux expert in this town... god help us all [10:58] like swat'en sketters in louisiana, ya just caint get caught up... [10:59] * Agent_bob blinks ! [11:00] s/ett/eet/ [11:01] so I think I've managed to understand a bit better the deal with apt in general. I had always assumed that "out of the box" it has a list of everything that is on the official repos, and the update just runs a check for changes. But in reality, "out of the box" you have to run update once to tell it what's out there, as it doesn't come with that list of what was available as of the moment the version (in this case, 8.04.1) was finalized [11:01] am i just about right? [11:01] * nuxil wounders if rodya_ can use clusterssh [11:02] rodya_ pretty close. the enabled repos are current as of date of mastering. [11:03] the updates and security repos are always changing so there is no way to say current except from the web. [11:03] but how might that explain things like "kubuntu-restricted-extras" or even "language-pack-ru" not even being visible as possible installs pre-update? [11:05] like, right now if i were to sit down and type "apt-get install language-pack-ru" just to get the error "d/l failed... are you on the internet? (or something to that effect)" in fact all I get is "couldn't find language-pack-ru" - done and done [11:06] umm because the only repo enabled on the install disk is the packages on the install disk... ? [11:06] ahhhhhhhh [11:06] see that's where I had a very ridiculous misconception [11:06] okay [11:07] i.e. check the /etc/apt/sources.list file [11:07] got it [11:08] man sources.list [11:08] i've got main, universe, and multiverse [11:08] all available [11:09] I'd assumed these things were in univ or multi, but It's just clear I'm going to at least need to run an update to get sight of these packages [11:09] okay [11:10] i do believe this now requires coffee and a cigarette :) [11:10] rodya_ you will have to update one box youe. [11:10] yes [11:10] i thought we covered that already [11:14] BOnjour [11:14] Appel a tous les Linuxiens pouvez vous m'aidez ? [11:14] !fr [11:14] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr === vic is now known as Guest21095 [11:27] Agent_bob, is the scan still going on ? [11:39] okay, so I konw how I'll be doing this then... you guys think you can give me a ballpark from a clean install of hardy, how much bandwidth I'm likely to blow in running apt-get update, downloading russian language packs for openoffice and kubuntu in general, and getting mp3 and vid support? Think I can do it all in 30 mb or less? [11:39] need to know how many phonecards are going to go on this, basically :) [11:41] what speed do you get on wpa? [11:42] think 1999 dialup [11:42] I can let it run overnight if need be, time isn't the issue === alain is now known as Guest1344 [11:46] rodya_: 30mb wont cut it for a full update, there where a few kernel updates, firefox etc in the meantime. However, if you only enable security updates, it might work. Not sure [11:46] but aptitude upgrade will tell you how much you have to download [11:47] mp3 > security :p [11:47] nuxil: He could selectivly install the mp3s and so on [11:48] but if he updates from all the reps, I dont think that 30mb is sufficient [11:50] tme to take a nap [11:50] *time [11:50] hello can some one help me [11:50] wot [11:50] nuxil can u help me to learn [11:51] learn what ? [11:51] yeah, I'm laughing about mp3 > security too. but my school folk here are freaking livid that the computers aren't running windows as it is - they're not yet at the "Oh, let's just reencode to ogg, that's cool" point yet [11:51] dileep, what is the question [11:51] learn to program in linux [11:52] dileep, start out with bash. theres a guide called abs [11:52] dileep, this is a troubleshooting channel; not really a one on one tutorial channel-->there are a number of web sites you can learn about that on [11:52] k nuxil [11:52] let it be enough for the time being that they'll be running a system that won't catch every one of the 8,000 trojans running around on everyone's pendrives [11:52] what's the default email client in KDE? [11:53] trust me, that's security enough on my watch [11:53] error404notfound: kmail i guess [11:53] can u tell any one of then bazhang [11:53] rodya_: what are you talking about? [11:53] I dont have any icons for folders in the kmenu in kde4.1rc1, only questionmarks. Is that a kde or kubuntus "feature"? [11:54] trixon: hmm, and you have iconthemes installed?

[11:55] rodya_, you'll be up all night chaing cards [11:55] err.. [11:56] dileep, thats the wrong channel to ask, but look into pyqt4 instead [11:56] Tm_T ok will change channel, and yes every other icon is ok [11:56] *this [11:56] pyqt4 means [11:57] http://www.techbooksforfree.com/linux.shtml dileep look here [11:57] python qt 4 . qt is a trolltech product .. qt > gtk [11:57] k thanq bazhang [11:58] dileep, learning gui programing is not the 1st step.. [11:58] np [11:59] 1st learn c c# c++ etc etc etc then you move on to gui [11:59] nuxil then wat to do [11:59] i know c,c++ in windows [11:59] then you probaly would take a look at qt4 [11:59] its the future [12:00] where to start qt4 nuxil??

[13:57] __P__34: yes, I used the nvidia setup tool [13:58] <__P__34> but twinvew [13:58] __P__34: Yes, but it's more a question regarding xrandr, not kde 4.1. [13:58] <__P__34> or dual X ? [13:59] __P__34: If your drivers are good enough, then you can use xrandr to setup two monitors as clones of the one display, or have your desktop span the two monitors. [14:00] __P__34: It works well with Intel X3100, but not so good on an ATI FireGL Mobility T2 that I also use. [14:00] <__P__34> i like with two desktop, one bottom panel, i don like twinview beacuse if i enlarge window it become to stretch and big [14:01] <__P__34> i have nvidia [14:01] <__P__34> 177 driver on kubuntu intrepid [14:01] Hi [14:02] I use Ubuntu 8 and firefox3, I have plugings, but no video play in browser [14:02] __P__34: TwinView can use two seperate monitors and use them as such, i.e. if I maximize a window, it only maximises over one screen [14:02] __P__34: The xrandr commands "should" hide you from driver specifies. There are GUIs which drive xrandr, e.g. krandrtray, but I've had less success with them. [14:02] <__P__34> pfee: you uses separate X on twinview? [14:03] <__P__34> pfee me too with Krandrtray it see only one monitor [14:03] <__P__34> but it is up i can use it with xubuntu [14:04] <__P__34> ahox__: how? [14:04] <__P__34> ahox__: with kde 4.1? [14:04] __P__34: A single X display, spanning two monitors. With xrandr you can see the current desktop virtual screen resolution and how that is mapped down onto physical monitors. [14:04] Here is my xorg.conf, but be carefull, http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=umcss [14:05] I decided not to use twinview because of my video card... :-( [14:06] <__P__34> ahox__: before to try [14:06] <__P__34> are you using kde 4.1 ? [14:06] __P__34: yes [14:06] <__P__34> ok [14:06] <__P__34> let me try [14:06] __P__34: I just notice that systemsettings does only see one screen [14:07] However, maximize, panels, etc do work [14:07] <__P__34> ok [14:10] I use Ubuntu 8 and firefox3, I have plugings, but no video play in browser... could you help me please [14:12] antheo: No video means no divx, etc... or really no video? [14:12] no divx, no nothing... [14:12] or no flash? [14:12] flash plays [14:13] why would you want to play a video in firefox? Or did I misunderstood something? [14:13] I had script blocker, but I've disabled it [14:13] Or are you speaking about realtime, etc? [14:13] for example, youtube doesn't play video in my browser [14:14] Youtube is flash [14:14] yes ahox__... [14:14] is it out? === ahox__ is now known as ahox [14:14] 4.1 I mean [14:14] #kde-party !!! [14:14] So flash does not play? [14:15] only video flash I presume, because on other flash site play [14:15] but no video [14:15] flash animation play [14:15] but no flv, mpg, avi, etc... [14:16] is flashplugin-nonfree installed? [14:16] yes, it si [14:16] is [14:16] sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree, it say that it is installed [14:17] all others plugins are installed... video with totem, vlc, quicktime, etc... [14:18] with Firefox 2, video play, but no with vers.3 [14:19] Maybe the flashplugin is disabled. [14:19] maybe the flashplugin sucks ? [14:19] no, all are activate [14:20] I'll try to disinstall all? [14:20] Does Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins show the Shockwave Flash? [14:20] yes, ahox [14:20] odd, sorry, I am out of ideas [14:21] ... thanks ahox...

Clock situation... does it reset the entire date or just the hour? [15:00] <_dennister> genii: had ps2 mouse set to auto, didn't work, now its set to enabled, still doesn't work...may be this i8042.nopnp bug i'm reading about in launchpad [15:00] <_dennister> genii: clock situation: just the hour is reset at reboot [15:04] _dennister: The clock reset isn't battery then, it would go back to something like Jan 01 1980 or such. System is likely using hwclock function to adjust bios time to fit whatever offset from GMT you specified for timezone [15:07] <_dennister> genii: u mean changing the locale to toronto (from us, now that system is installed) will fix the bios hour problem? the pnp os is doing the time change in bios? [15:08] <_dennister> i was planning to do that anyway, when I had some of these other hardware issues/annoyances fixed [15:08] _dennister: If you set the timezone to GMT -5 and tell it hardware clock is NOT set to UTC (this means also GMT) then it shouldn't mess with the clock anymore [15:09] And then the bios time can be set to Toronto time [15:09] <_dennister> great; next issue...mouse...i'm gonna try a few things, like the workarounds this launchpad bug suggests [15:09] _dennister: Is the mouse some usb mouse thats plugged to a usb->ps2 adapter? [15:10] hi.........can anybody one help me? [15:10] !ask | ashok [15:10] ashok: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:10] <_dennister> genii: no, i am using a usb mouse right now only because the ps2 mouse has never worked with this system...no adapter has been tried yet [15:11] _dennister: OK. Somegtimes those adapters screw up the autodetect method is all. Does it also have a ps2 keyboard on this box? [15:11] my display preferences are not persisting over reboots..it keeps on sticking to 87hz refresh rate.. [15:11] <_dennister> yep, and it's always worked [15:12] yeah [15:12] _dennister: OK. Some systems no ps2 keyboard means mouse detection gets pre-empted [15:12] ashok: Do you have session saving on? [15:12] sorry,, i didn't understand [15:13] <_dennister> i think i'm ok with 256mb of rambus memory, as there's another 256 mb of cache on the p4 cpu [15:14] ashok: If you do not tell kubuntu to remember your settings, every boot it will return the same way it was before you changed things [15:14] <_dennister> or is it the asus mobo? i forget, but there seem to be an issue with not enough ram, even though the livecd said it needed 384mb of ram to use, i haven't experienced any problems that I can trace back to ram yet [15:14] how i can do that? i used the option in nvidia settings control panel to save settings to xorg,conf [15:15] <_dennister> sorry...no issues with not enough ram have been detected yet [15:15] ashok: K-Button...System Settings.... Advanced tab ...Session Manager... then there you can choose something like On Login- Restore Previous Session [15:16] <_dennister> genii: before I log out to try some things related to the ps2 mouse, is it possible that one 80mm case fan and the cpu fan is enough cooling for this p4 system? [15:16] <_dennister> oh, and of course there's the power supply fan for exhaust [15:16] _dennister: Most p4 are fine with stock cooling [15:17] the option "Restore Previous Session' is already checked..... [15:17] <_dennister> genii: ok, great, after i get the mouse issue and clock thing fixed, I'll close up the box and so some stress testing [15:17] <_dennister> be back soon [15:20] ashok: OK.

I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:32] jisaitua_: Perhaps the name of "myapp" also does appear in the other path as well [18:33] the strange thing is, that the problem appears when launching myapp via a .desktop file [18:33] ? [18:33] i have a problem with compizfusion [18:34] on ubuntu [18:34] anyone here give it a shot? [18:34] kde 4.1? [18:34] so it seems that .desktop files doesn't honor the PATH variable or something like that [18:34] jisaitua_: Is the .desktop file you made marked as executable? [18:34] im trying [18:34] but i can [18:34] genii: hhm, good question...let me see [18:34] but i can't install it [18:35] jisaitua_: nvm, none of them there seem to be, just was my first thought [18:35] genii: nop [18:35] having lots of trouble with a corrupt gpg key trying to isntall kde 4.2 [18:35] genii: it's not [18:35] sorry, 4.1 [18:35] W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [18:35] im trying to install kde 4.1 and i tryed sudo aptitude install kdebase-workspace but it dont work [18:35] how do i fix it? [18:36] genii: the problem is that launching myapp using ALT+F2 uses the PATH variable [18:36] jisaitua_: This on kde3 or kde4 ? [18:36] genii: kde 3.5.9 [18:36] sebastian_ http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 [18:37] follow the instructions [18:37] sorry, be back later...work calls again [18:40] jisaitua_: My suspicion is: When .desktop declares type as application and then just appname for executable without full path then it looks in order for that. eg: bin then usr/bin and so on so that first match would win [18:40] engineer: i dont understand those instructions :P [18:40] sebastian_ what part don't you understand [18:41] part 1 [18:41] jisaitua_: Try full path for execname [18:41] genii: so you think is not using the definition of the PATH variable? [18:41] genii: that's what I'm trying to avoid :-( [18:41] sebastian_ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [18:41] add add that source line [18:42] at the end? [18:42] engineer: how do i save it ? [18:43] jisaitua_: If there exists /bin/myapp or /usr/bin/myapp or so and it's not a crucial system binary maybe rename it temporarily and see if alt-f2 shows correct path [18:43] ctrl+x [18:43] doesn't matter [18:43] ok thx [18:43] as long as in that line there's nothing else but that line [18:44] genii: are you suggesting to run myapp-entry.desktop and removing /usr/bin/myapp to see if it runs /opt/bin/myapp? [18:45] engineer: thx :) [18:45] jisaitua_: Not remove but rename so that it can be safely reinstated. To see if the results differ when this is done [18:45] genii: Ok, let's see [18:45] how do I find out my version of kubuntu? [18:46] hi [18:46] genii: yes, it runs /opt/bin/myapp [18:46] vbgunz open konqeuror, help about [18:46] jisaitua_: And reprts correct path in this case now? === erwin_ is now known as vaiursch [18:47] Everybody knos how install lexmark 1000?

[19:02] dont know i couldn't remove it anyway [19:02] just so u know im on ubuntu, and now i installed kubuntu, and im on kubuntu trying to install kde 4.1 [19:02] ok hang on [19:03] sudo aptitude install kdebase-workspace [19:03] show me the output of that [19:03] ok 1 sec [19:04] where can i paste?

[19:07] jisaitua_: I think the current workaround would be to explicity have path in .desktop like Exec=/opt/bin/myapp [19:07] sebastian_ so? did you hit yes [19:07] jisaitua_: Work needed me again, sorry for long response times [19:09] genii: Yes, that works...but I need to touch many .desktop files, and after system actualization a loose the changes. [19:09] engineer: ya i did [19:09] genii: right now, I'm using that trick, but it doesn't scale well [19:10] sebastian_ is it installing now? [19:10] genii: I'm using a LTSP environment, so I make wrappers for many applications so they work Ok in LTSP [19:10] nope [19:10] jisaitua_: Ah. Well, I'm not sure I have much more to add currently [19:11] now it is :P [19:11] genii: I really appreciate what you have done...thank you! [19:11] huh? [19:12] jisaitua_: No problem. Don't forget to update the bug report if you find a solution or clearer reason this happens [19:12] Comes kubuntu 8.04.1 with the stable kde 4.1? [19:12] genii: ok, I will do it [19:13] engineer: now evrything is installing, thx a lot :D:D:D [19:13] no problem [19:13] i prefer aptitude to apt-get because it tries to workaround dependencies problems [19:14] ok, so i can use aptitude instead of apt-get? [19:14] yes [19:14] didn't know that [19:14] but aptitute you can only use through the command line [19:14] now i will try kde 4 :D [19:14] oh [19:14] and try not to mix both [19:14] just use one [19:14] ok [19:15] thx for the help :) [19:15] cya === _roconnor is now known as roconnor [19:27] W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [19:27] happens when I try to update kde 4.x...anyone know of a way to download a fresh key?

[20:32] joe_: I've never tried to copy a dual-layer dvd to single-layer, but I would have suggested k9copy or maybe DVD::Rip [20:32] derick_: I think we just need to get to the root of the problem. first, identify the card for sure [20:33] trappist: will the name be written on the tower/ hardware ? [20:33] i tried both and none of them do what i would like to do [20:33] which is really gett'n me pissed off [20:33] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [20:34] joe_: before you get too upset, try to remember that what you're trying to do is probably illegal [20:35] well every one does it so i don't see what the problem is [20:36] not judging, but support for legally questionable stuff like that with free software is... well there are solutions, but most of em aren't easy [20:36] the process itself is a lot more complicated than it sounds [20:36] so the folks who write really good software for it generally get a lot of money for that software [20:37] bye [20:39] hey, any one here know paultag...he told me to ask fo help here my system does not let me open synaptic package manager or installupdates anymore...any thoughts?

[21:09] nuxil: bcm43xx [21:09] * nuxil got a broadcom wireless card [21:09] How can I easily remove KDE3? I want to use KDE4. [21:10] nuxil: It worked in the previous incarnation of kubuntu, [21:10] Aranel: you are most likely still using some kde3 programs... [21:10] moope1, then i know the prob. well i had it. moope1 check if it uses b43 module. and also checj if ssb is load. [21:10] remove me both [21:10] reisi: only Konversation and KPowersave. [21:11] moope1, put them, in blacklist and use bcm43xx module instead [21:11] reisi: I wont remove it now, I only want to know how can I do it :) [21:11] nuxil: pcimodules reports both ssb and bcm43xx are loaded [21:11] reisi: I'll remove it after Intrepid Ibex release. [21:11] ssb ? [21:12] yes, its there [21:12] moope1, unload it [21:12] Aranel: don't really know.. i guess there's some meta package for kde3 that you have already [21:13] reisi: ok thanks :) [21:13] Aranel: kubuntu-desktop i think [21:13] nuxil: FATAL: Module ssb is in use. [21:13] moope1, unload b43 | ssb and bcm43xx ,... then modprobe bcm43xx again.. if that dosent work.. you must get the offline drivers- which i also had to use [21:13] Aranel: are you using kde 4.1 under 8.04.1? [21:13] reisi: yes. [21:13] reisi: with kubuntu-kde4-desktop package. [21:14] moope1, . first remove b43 and bcm43xx [21:14] Aranel: if you open root directory with dolphin, do you have a questionmark icon on the /home directory? [21:14] moope1, also check that b43-legacy is not in use [21:14] reisi: yes. home and media . [21:14] Aranel: shit.. me too [21:16] reisi: Did you find a fix for GNOME apps ? they're looking very bad with KDE4. [21:18] Aranel: hmm i guess i've became used to that.. looks fucking ugly though :) [21:18] :) [21:18] peper, just to let you know its back!

I do know the basics, btw, but am looking for some best practices on which strategies to use and such [22:18] *i mean the boot prossess doesnt know which user is at the pc . [22:18] <_dennister> nuxil: yes, i realize that...these would have to come into effect after login [22:18] then you log in ,, the boot prossess is finished.. you got luck trying to do that [22:19] *you need [22:20] hi [22:21] Can anybody help me with my sinus154 stick? [22:21] <_dennister> here's the situation: system is being configured for a blind user, plus his sighted gf, i want it so that the blind user's default runlevel is 2-or 3, with just command line /console setup, although he or sighted user trying to help him should have the option of a switch to x [22:21] <_dennister> obviously, his gf and I (for support of her) would need x started at her default login [22:21] hey guys [22:22] anyone here have an idea when KDE 4.1 package will amke their way to kubunu?

[23:10] <_dennister> nidswrapper gets lots of errors...it's buggy and I've tried to stay away from it completely during my few forays into wireless devices [23:10] i must use it -.- [23:10] there is no other chance [23:10] i think :D [23:11] <_dennister> CrAc: most ubuntu tutorials work for kubuntu, too...do u have ubuntu-desktop installed? [23:12] ehm i think i have kubuntu ^^ [23:12] kubuntu includes speedcrunch but not kcalc. very annoying that speedcrunch cant do hexadecimal math [23:12] sry im german and im such a newb [23:12] in linux [23:13] Has anything changed since 4.1 rc1 and 4.1 ? [23:13] <_dennister> CrAc: not to worry, we're all newbies for awhile; i still am after 2 years and many installations on many, many computers [23:13] bugs are gone :D [23:13] josef_: I dont believe that at all [23:14] but when i dont get finished this thing ill never became good in linux because im good in windows and the i have to change :D [23:14] josef: it still craches a lot of times ^^ [23:14] <_dennister> CrAc: here's what i suggest until a wireless expert comes into the channel: install ubuntu-desktop from the cd, then try to follow the tutorials you've found [23:14] may be [23:14] most of the bugs i know are fixed [23:14] how? [23:16] open a folder of photos in gwenview, click on the little rotate arrow above a image, repeat a time or two, you will either get a lockup, or a crash [23:16] <_dennister> CrAc: do you have the livecd that you installed kubuntu with? if so, just stick the cd into the drive, enable it in the repositories, and in a terminal, type in "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [23:16] i have also a alternative install cd for 8.1 [23:16] but yeah i have the live cd i think ^^ [23:17] do i losse my settings and my files? [23:17] *loose [23:17] _dennister, which runlevel did you set? [23:17] isnt runlevel 2 the default one ? [23:17] <_dennister> CrAc: either one will work i believe...no you won't lose anything because you're not going to do a complete installation... [23:17] !runlevel [23:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [23:17] ohh ok i try :D [23:18] it gives an erorr -.- [23:18] gonna try a 4.1 wipe install and see how many bugs there are [23:18] <_dennister> nuxil: i left it at runlevel 2 for the sighted user, but for the blind user i thought i'd set it at runlevel 3, and took out a lot of the graphical services in sytem settings--->advanced-->System Services (run level 3) [23:19] i rotated the pic about a hundred times and it still works [23:19] oh sry i wrote installl xD [23:19] try other pics, not the same one ;) [23:19] an erorr too >:< [23:19] >.< [23:19] using the little arrows, not the rotate command [23:19] the sidebar works [23:20] couldnt find paket ( or whut its called xD) [23:20] its really anoying ^^ [23:20] nothing works xD [23:20] <_dennister> nuxil: here's my grub line for blind user: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=5b669c41-deff-42e3-9a79-f388adb4092b 3 ro verbose nosplash i8042.nopnp access=v3 [23:20] <_dennister> CrAc: hold on a sec...let me catch up [23:21] k [23:21] ah it says cant find package :D [23:22] not paket [23:22] <_dennister> CrAc: do you know how to change the repositories?

[23:35] <_dennister> nuxil: i know run levels and such are advanced topics, so not many people tinker with them [23:36] <_dennister> it takes someone who really knows what they're doing to help someone else devise a custom login capability for different users and special needs, using runlevels [23:37] hi [23:37] someone know how to active compizfusion [23:38] <_dennister> CrAc: after you've hit that "Add CD-rom" button, close the dialog box and you should get a message that your repositories have changed...follow what it tells u to do [23:38] how can i test my compatibility 4 compiz fudion?

[23:46] <_dennister> hmmm...at this point i don't think I can help you any further, except to strongly recommend you try the ubuntu tutorials and howtos even for kubuntu...most of the time they work anyway for kubuntu systems [23:47] noone works ;=) [23:47] but thanks anyway ;) [23:47] ill have to try it ... [23:47] maybe any other one knows about the sinus 154 stick with kubuntu .... [23:47] ? [23:49] <_dennister> CrAc: that's unlikely, or they would have tried to help u by now...so try googling: kubuntu sinus 154 wireless [23:50] i tried but i found a thread with my erorr :D [23:50] thanks a lot for tyin dennister ;) [23:52] <_dennister> CrAc: no problem...u've got an unusual piece of hardware...even though I tend to avoid wireless, I know a lot about lots of hardware, and I never heard of that one [23:53] its standart i germany & many others had the same failure ^^ [23:53] *in [23:53] <_dennister> does anyone hear know how to change default runlevel? ur supposed to be able to do this by editing inittab, but I only found 3 in my entire system [23:54] does kubuntu get the same attention as ubuntu? [23:54] <_dennister> i don't think any of those i found is the one i need to edit [23:54] _dennister: What are you trying to do? Ubuntu uses upstart to get away from the inittab model, so things are done a bit differently. [23:55] <_dennister> Pici: here's what I'm trying to accomplish: new installation, blind user and sighted girlfriend [23:55] <_dennister> Pici: i want blind user to be dropped into non-gui console by default, but to have option of going into other runlevels with x [23:56] ffs is more fast than ext3? [23:56] reiserfs is faster than ext3 [23:56] ffs [23:56] hi, ive just upgraded my motherboard and cpu, and added a sound card and graphics card (previously onboard) and CD-RW drive to my kubuntu computer - do I need to reinstall to get the best performance, or will it cope with the hardware changes? [23:57] it will cope [23:57] what ffs? [23:57] but [23:57] _dennister: hmm. I'm not sure if that is easily doable with Ubuntu. Perhaps the blind user could just use one of the ttys via ctrl-alt-f1 [23:57] fast file system [23:57] you might need to update your graphics driver [23:58] engineer - how would I do that? (still kinda new to linux :$) [23:58] is jfs more fast than reiserfs+ext3? [23:58] no [23:58] <_dennister> Pici: nuxil gave good suggestion of haveing 2 entries for each kernel in grub, using different runlevels, so i set blind user to runlevel 3, removed a lot of the x-related services from runlevel 3, but he's still beging dropped into runlevel 2 [23:58] more fast=faster [23:58] is it nvidia? [23:58] dont my correct my language [23:59] richard is it nvidia? [23:59] engineer - yeah, nvidia RIVA TNT 64 or something [23:59] hmm [23:59] thats like a 9 or 11 year old card [23:59] and I changed from a 733mhz celeron to a 1200mhz athlon
