[00:00] delilaz, they have to be in the right sudoers list and groups. [00:00] I think theres a gui user admin tool that can enable that.. but i dont rember where. [00:01] wouldn't that mean to give the new user sudo power? which I don't want to do [00:02] How is about I install the beta right now and update/dist-upgrade it after a stable release comes up [00:05] Is there a command that the root user can use to update apt in another user??? Anyone know? [00:05] I tend to just wait a week or 2 after the release and do clean installs. :) [00:06] Less of a hassle thta way [00:06] delilaz: create group and allow only a set of commands to this groups in the /etc/sudoers [00:08] dr_willis: you are right [00:09] quick problem... in intrepid, im trying to change my refresh rate from 85 to 75, and every time i do, it defaults to "auto" and stays at 85, any suggestions??? [00:09] Is that done through System Settings? I'm still learning this OS :) [00:09] yeah, system settings --> display [00:09] but like i said, it just sets it to "auto" and stays at 85 :( [00:22] Hmm... [00:22] This is a CRT monitor or LCD? [00:22] CRT [00:23] could be its thinking the crt cant handle 85, and you may need to put in a proper modeline in the xorg.conf [00:24] well, it handles 85, just wont switch to 75... xrandr tells me its supported, and even when trying to set it manually in xorg.conf it keeps defaulting to 85 [00:35] * DaskReecH hates the new X === adam is now known as Guest14823 [00:43] hey [00:43] hi pxc [00:43] does anyone here know how to launch vlc without launching the GUI? [00:43] I want to use it in a cron script to rip a Windows Media stream (mplayer crashes, streamripper doesn't support it) [00:45] hey [00:45] i've a question about kubuntu 8.10 [00:45] will the KDE4.1.2 also contains KDE 3.5 software? [00:46] cause when I install kubuntu 8.04, it installs KDE3 and 4 apps [00:46] Which i hate [00:46] I'm trying to get syntax folding of perl scripts working in vim. I've added set foldmethod=syntax to my .vimrc file, but it still doesn't work. I've added vim-perl and vim-scripts in the hopes they would solve the problem but so for no luck. any idea what I'm missing? [00:46] for example KDE3 konsole and KDE4 console [00:47] when I log onto another account's desktop, my music player goes silent. But if I'm running a noisy game, it is still heard. How can I make the music always play? [00:49] hello, all [00:49] i'm working on a little script to record the streaming version of a local radio show that runs once a week at a specific time. [00:50] My question is this: how can I tell VLC to record for a certain length of time and then shut down? [00:50] will someone help me with a login problem. I am new to ubuntu and am trying to login into my server (on a workgroup not domain) I can see it but when i double click it just opens folder and nothing there - not even a prompt for a username and password [00:52] anyone? [00:53] hi cj7jeep [00:54] hello mowaey [00:54] any ideas on the above [00:58] cj7jeep: Hi [00:58] A little more detail. what are you logging into? [00:59] logging into a workgroup [00:59] other users with shared windows folders are ok just server r2 [01:01] yes [01:02] does not prompt me for username and password [01:07] This is Linux box, connecting to windows shares - correct? [01:08] yes [01:10] so you see the remote mchine address in the file manager like... [01:10] smb://mshome/ but cant get to the specific share eh? [01:11] in my case fileserver named tiny, became smb://tiny/ which then poped up a dialog for my user/password [01:11] hola?!

[01:49] <_2> syntax error === sgallinger is now known as splooge [01:55] <_2> three things about ubuntu linux i don't like. 1. the installer is bloated. supose i want to install on an older box with only 128m ram. 2. the release cycle expects everyone to have a bzillion terabytes of bandwidth to dl a new cd iso worth of data each day. 3. they try to hard to make the "reboot will fix anything" crowd feel at home. (i.e. linux != M$ never has, never will, and, we don't want it too, so stop trying.) < === yurimxpxman is now known as Darth_YuriMxPxMa === Darth_YuriMxPxMa is now known as Darth_Yuri [02:06] _2: 1. alternate install is great for those with limited ram, but to be honest, an amount of ram like that would be better suited to a distro like DSL or Puppy Linux. 2. That's what LTS releases are for, three years of security updates on the desktop. 3. Agreed, though I rarely even need to reboot aside from a kernel update [02:07] <_2> Daisuke_Ido why so. i hardly ever use that much ram from a console ? [02:07] from a console [02:07] <_2> yep [02:07] ubuntu is by its very nature a graphical distro [02:07] <_2> nope [02:07] <_2> it's linux. [02:08] how does everyone like kde 4 so far in intrepid? [02:08] <_2> or should i say GNU/Linux [02:08] it's a linux distro aimed at the "everyday" user, which is a group (a majority) that uses a graphical environment [02:09] <_2> ubuntu is by its very nature a graphical distro <<< sounds very "reboot will fix anything" oriented [02:09] no [02:10] <_2> Daisuke_Ido answer me this. if it's so gui oriented why are there 7 active tty's on your box and only one of them has a gui in it ? [02:10] because the everyday user has no need for seven different guis === Darth_Yuri is now known as yurimxpxman [02:10] <_2> so why are the other six running ? [02:10] <_2> :) [02:10] which is why it activates the one that HAS a gui by default === diego is now known as Guest24844 [02:10] for those that choose to use them. [02:11] <_2> exactly [02:11] sorry I'll take the gui any day [02:11] if you choose to use them, you're provided for, but not necessarily the target audience [02:11] <_2> so it's not "by its very nature a graphical distro" it's simply GNU/Linux [02:11] command shells are easy to open and it's nice to be able to see them side by side [02:11] that alone makes the gui >>> [02:11] if you prefer a straight console install, use the server install, which also takes care of the ram limitation [02:11] _2: I agree, linux is linux, X by it's nature is GUI [02:12] i find it interesting that you continue to quote the original, and not revised statement [02:12] [21:08:01] it's a linux distro aimed at the "everyday" user, which is a group (a majority) that uses a graphical environment [02:12] * _2 looks for the revision [02:13] <_2> oh was that a revision ? [02:13] <_2> ok. [02:13] oi [02:13] <_2> i thought that was supposed to be an explanation. sorry, my bad. [02:14] <_2> Daisuke_Ido will the server installer in hardy run in 128m ? [02:15] it's basically debian's text-based installer [02:15] no reason it shouldn't [02:15] <_2> i thought they said the minimum was 192 now... [02:16] <_2> because of extensive use of ramfs or somethin. [02:16] i know the livecd uses a ramdisk, but i don't think the alternate installer does [02:17] but don't quote me on that [02:17] <_2> hmmm i may be misinformed on that. i'll do some research. i know that 64m was not enough for hoary === david is now known as No1PeaceDragon [02:18] I want to know why my VPN connection to our cisco server suddenly stopped working [02:18] <_2> 128 was enough to install server and then 16m was enough to run it. [02:18] it gets to 80% connected then says that it can't connect [02:18] I can get to the port and others using the windows client can [02:18] wondering if the knetworkmanager version changed or if something changed in the cisco that's stopping it [02:19] is there a log for the knetworkmanager vpn connections that I can see what's going on there?

[05:29] has anybody used a projector or beamer with (k)ubuntu [05:30] mario_: I'll hazard a wild guess and say yes [05:31] daskreech: it's kind of messy cause normally they have a lot less resolution than a screen [05:32] yes, it is [05:32] for a temp fix, I just took out the SD card and put it in the SD card slot [05:34] mario_: So you need dualhead controls? [05:37] daskreech: yes i don't know whether to use the kubuntu display settings tool or the nvidia one. [05:45] mario_: I'll wager nvidia right now. The kubuntu is still undergoing work [05:45] I'm not sure what is happening, but I cannot SSH into my desktop and my desktop cannot SSH into this laptop. Cannot find server. The IPs are correct. Any hints? [05:46] Also, where is the known_hosts file? I forgot. [05:46] ~/.ssh [05:46] Thank you DaskReecH [05:52] I get SegFault with ssh. How can I fix this? [05:55] DarkShinigami: what's the error? [05:55] DaskReecH: Segmentation fault [05:56] what's the command that you are using? [05:59] * gkffjcs LOLOLOLOL [06:00] DaskReecH: ssh 192.x.x.x [06:00] I get asked for the password, then I get segmentation fault [06:00] DarkShinigami: They both started segfaulting on the same day? [06:00] oh [06:00] hmm [06:00] woah [06:00] and you can walk over and login to the machines fine? [06:01] ssh is segfaulting? [06:01] Yes, as of today. [06:01] I am about 2 feet away from each one [06:01] did you apply new selinux rules? [06:01] DarkShinigami: Were they updated? [06:01] geremy: Yes, ssh is segfaulting. [06:01] did you roll your own or get it out of the repos? [06:02] geremy: Doubt it. I haven't done anything with rules. [06:02] DaskReecH: Updated? Last update was maybe two days ago [06:02] can you pastebin the output of ssh -v [06:02] DarkShinigami: was ssh used the day after? [06:03] I don't recall the last time I used it [06:03] ah might have been a botchy update then [06:03] be a hell of a botch [06:04] are you using a command like authprogs, etc? [06:04] anyone know how to install ati drivers? [06:04] hi linuxmce [06:04] !ati [06:04] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:05] ubottu terrifies me [06:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about terrifies me [06:05] geremy: No, I'm not using anything other than Yakuake for my terminal. [06:05] that's reassuring [06:05] ? [06:05] so? [06:06] !pastebin [06:06] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [06:06] just copy and paste [06:08] geremy: It's lengthy... http://paste.ubuntu.com/54549/ [06:10] is that having entered your password properly? [06:10] or no? [06:10] Yes [06:11] hmm does it work with RSA? [06:11] How do I check? [06:11] you don't have rsa set up? [06:11] Not to my knowledge [06:11] you own these machines? [06:12] Yup, both are mine and are 2 feet away from each other [06:12] k, first off, these are x86_64? [06:12] x86 [06:12] No 64 [06:13] hmm ok [06:13] alright, lets try this [06:13] you have a flash drive? [06:14] Sadly, no [06:14] Not on hand, anyway. [06:15] you have any way other than ssh to get into the machines? [06:15] or a screwdriver [06:16] SSH is the only method I have for remotely accessing each of them from the other. [06:16] DaskReecH: Yeah, but I don't think so ;) [06:16] DaskReecH: i prefer a dry martini, but a screwdriver'll do [06:19] DarkShinigami: well, neither of them would happen to be accessable across the public web, would they? [06:19] Nope [06:19] DarkShinigami: well damn [06:20] do you have a floppy, a cdr, anything? [06:20] Not on the laptop [06:20] alll righty then. I'm running out of options. [06:20] Laptop is DVD-R [06:20] Can't burn [06:22] well, my only remaining suggestions would be to get an ssh client on the server, generate an RSA keypair there, add the rsa pubkey to your .ssh/authorized_keys, then copy the id_rsa file to your laptop [06:22] its a backasswards way of doing it, but it will work [06:53] Hi, I just installed the Ibex Beta and ran into a few snags...can anyone help please? [06:57] salut à tous [06:57] j'ai une petite question : je suis sous kubuntu kde3.5.10 et une fois j'ai activé des effets graphiques pour voir ce que cela donne [06:57] j'aimerais les desactiver maintenant [06:58] comment faire ?

I've tried istanbul but it doesn't work very well, so i'm searching some alternatives === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [09:25] hi folks. I'm trying to build the 8.10 kernel in 8.04 to help check if a bug was fixed for 8.10. however, the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile don't work for me, there's no makedumpfile deb for 8.04 [09:25] what's the ubuntu 8.04 way to build a kernel? [09:36] Total linux newb here, I just installed Hardy on my laptop and though the sound works if I use headphones, the laptop speakers don't make any sound. How do I go about fixing this? [09:37] does anybody use kvpnc? i try it, but not really happy with it.. is there any other gui for racoon? [09:43] Hi. I am trying to setup the TV Out of my nvidia geforce 7600gs card. According to google there are GUI ways to do this today, so I tried to install nvidia-settings. However, trying to install that package would remove nvidia-glx-new, which I assume are my vidcard drivers. Any help on that one, please? [09:43] Oh, I'm using Kubuntu 7.10 i386 [09:47] heya, upgraded yesterday to intrepid, i also made updates on my mom's ubuntu hardy and the internet doesn't works on both of them [09:47] tried my laptop at work (intrepid), also no internet.. [09:49] DreadKnight: define "no internet" [09:49] DreadKnight: does local networking still work? [09:53] kblin, i won't see any shares from the network here at work [09:53] hi all [09:54] kblin, anyway, the knetworkmanager sucks hard in intrepid === administrateur is now known as saka_ [09:54] DreadKnight: shares? [09:54] kblin, yeah.. local network :P shares on other computers inside the network [09:54] DreadKnight: isn't that samba? [09:55] I was asking about networking [09:55] kblin, i'm very noobish when it comes to networking / internet stuff [09:56] DreadKnight: then I hope you've got some time to learn it, given that you're running a beta release distro :) [09:56] read about on ubuntu forums about 'no internet connection' issues on intrepid [09:57] DreadKnight: kidding aside, can you check ifconfig and route -n to see if your ip address and default route is set? [09:57] kblin, trying right away [09:58] i might have bad luck with intrepid and no internet connection at home (there was a storm...), since my mom's hardy doesn't works concerning internet as well like i said [09:59] or bad updates in both cases [09:59] well, I'm currently using an up-to-date 8.04 box, and all I can say is that networking is fine [09:59] so it might indeed just be your line [10:00] kblin, backports and all the stuff enabled? [10:02] just hardy-proposed [10:03] i see 127.0.0.1 around there mask 255.0.0.0 and a lot of 0 for packets [10:04] no numbers in route -n [10:04] the tray icon globe thingy is greyed out [10:06] ok [10:06] so loopback networking is fine ;) [10:06] DreadKnight: is this wireless or wired network you're using? [10:09] kblin, at home i tried both; here at work only wired [10:09] going away for a while, gonna get a 8.04 cd and try it home and at work as well [10:09] bbl [10:09] i'm upgraded the 8.04 version to the 8.10 [10:10] Hi [10:11] can anybody help me with http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3097952.0 [10:12] I cannot enable DMA on my HD [10:20] ciao [10:21] ciao [10:21] !list [10:21] Hi!

[10:23] junkY_San: did you set up an encrypted lvm or did you encrypt / and /home separatelt? [10:24] *separately [10:24] kblin: manually i did nothing. i set this all up during the installation wizard [10:24] i have to look at the fstab, one second please [10:24] how many different passwords did you set? [10:24] 2 [10:24] hmm [10:25] i have to say i really like the encryption of the root device. is it all done during the initrd? [10:26] junkY_San: I guess so.

[12:29] ehm moment [12:29] buntfalke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu [12:29] read the first line [12:30] ah, thanks. i thought there would be a more detailed article, too :-) [12:30] that's not an article about what happens on upgrade [12:30] i found that one yet, though i didnt read it, as it looked like "random generic upgrade instructions only anyway" [12:31] kblin: it will overwrite kde3 [12:31] so thats what he asked if there will be an kde3 and the answer is just no [12:31] true [12:31] : [12:31] :) [12:32] but that's just about the default settings, it seems [12:33] ghostcube: but I agree that's a major difference [12:33] Well. Luckily 8.04 has support until "April 2011" (wikipedia) [12:33] so i dont need to worry too much :-) [12:33] ghostcube: which is why I'm trying to compile just the 8.10 kernel, without too much success so far [12:34] kblin: afai understand it right the kde3 will be completely overwritten or ? i dont know only read the article on kubuntu.org oO [12:34] ghostcube: they're talking about settings [12:34] so I figure this is the application settings in ~/.kde [12:34] i'd guess the same way [12:34] kblin: yeah true [12:35] kblin: what's the kernel issue/ [12:35] buntfalke: the 8.04 kernel is horribly broken with kvm [12:35] and the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile seem to be for 8.10 already [12:36] at least the makedumpfile package is 8.10 only [12:36] oh. might be.

Welcome to #kubuntu! [12:44] dr_willis: hey === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [12:45] o lala [12:51] hi LeeJunFan [12:52] is it a known bug that the numeric keypad doesn't work in vim-in-konsole? (works everywhere else though). I get newline+letter instead of a number there. [12:53] hmm [12:53] You may want to try the 'vim-full' package, the default vim-tiny - may have some limits [12:54] * dfaure closes his eyes on the fact that this installs vim-gnome ;) [12:54] because its working here fine.. I always install the vim-full package first thing however. [12:54] hmm I see, it's due to kde4-konsole. Works ok in kde3-konsole. [12:55] * dr_willis dosent want to get started on 'kde4' :) [12:55] dr_willis: care to help me with something on kde4 [12:55] I dont use kde4. [12:56] I dont find it useable at this time. [12:56] :p [12:56] * dfaure uses kde4 -- and fixes those bugs ;) [12:56] perhaps some day the filemanager, and panel will quit crashing with normall ussage... [12:56] but i will wait. [12:57] dr_willis: yep I fixed a large amount of crashes lately. [12:57] post bug reports/fix's then.. :) [12:57] dr_willis: I defy you to find a crash in konqueror or dolphin in 4.1.2 [12:57] I plan on waiting a LONG time befor i try kde 4.XXX again [12:58] perhaps some day it will actually offer me somtning i need. [12:59] dr_willis: bug reports that I fixed? here are some: bug:171117 bug:169436 bug:167851 bug:160057 [12:59] * dr_willis gives dfaure a gold star for being a good Linux user. [12:59] * dfaure senses some irony [12:59] lol [13:00] dr_willis: i want 1 [13:00] Im sticking with my jwm+rox-filer combo for the foreseable future. [13:00] dr_willis: ditto. i'm tempted to not upgrade when intrepid comes out even, and i'm using fairly vanilla KDE (black theme, modded for visibility) [13:01] that's your choice, I'm just saying that I'm interested in any filemanager crash you find in 4.1.2 or later. [13:01] Ive noticed the 'lack of contrast' in a lot of default themes - getting annoying also.. [13:01] kde4 is nice but still has things missing [13:01] dr_willis: black on black in a LOT of cases.... [13:01] but at least now we have gotten away from the pinstripes everywhere tht was common for a long time.. [13:02] geek: only with an old .kderc afaik, hasn't happened here for 2 years or so [13:02] I did find a thing on kde-look.org with 200+ color schemes. [13:02] dfaure: i'm using a system which had a fresh hardy install [13:02] is it considered bad practice to install software, say, eclipse, within my home directory (as opposed to /usr/local/bin, or, /opt) ? [13:03] geek: strange [13:03] dfaure: two different systems too [13:03] tyson_, if i want stuff to be accessed by a user.. and not messing with the whole system.. i dont see why it would be bad.. [13:03] * geek used to run kubuntu on a server before i decided i didn't need a terminal server [13:04] is there a good irc client for kde4? [13:04] konversation isn't ported yet, but kopete with the jabber-to-irc bridge seems to work nicely, although that's admitted convoluted :-) [13:04] piry [13:05] does irssi in a konsole window count? :) [13:05] konversation is one of my favourite KDE apps ;p [13:05] geek: me too. [13:05] jabber2irc sounds interesting, any howtos? [13:05] Konversation works fine in KDE4 [13:05] dr_willis: maybe if its on yakuake ;p [13:05] instant boss mode [13:05] well, while I really like konversation, it does have some trouble when I have the desktopeffects enabled [13:05] im having issues with samba [13:05] ahox: with a jabber account, join the groupchat kubuntu%irc.kde.org on server irc.kdetalk.net [13:15] can anyone teach me how to unrar..i have a hard time with it...again :D [13:15] peace: use ark [13:16] unrar e file.rar [13:16] i belive [13:16] or install and use 'unp' [13:16] unrar x filename works.. if i unrar a thing that has many parts..then the unrared stuff has the size of the part.. example 15mb... thats lame...and ark doesnt work with .rar [13:17] if you install the proper rar packages - ark should work [13:17] * dr_willis is not clear on what peace said about the 'parts' stuff... [13:17] dr_willis: multipart archives [13:17] if i would have installed the proper rar packages..then i would have succeded. what packages are for ark to unrar rars? :) [13:17] ive unrar'ed multipart archives just fine [13:17] I belive you want to use e, not x. [13:17] peace: unrar-nonfree works with arc for me [13:18] ark [13:18] or it may depend on the archive [13:18] i think i installed both..nonfree and free unrar [13:18] eh.. [13:19] I think the 2 may have some differnt command line options also [13:20] in adept..yes rar is installed..in synaptic...unrar and unrar free is also installed [13:21] any other advice? [13:29] ok..i managed somehow.. for the love of god please remember to advice to those who gets same problem...

[14:50] look on google u can disallow many php functions only needed for exploiting an xss [14:50] NikLP: shorewall or fwbuilder should work for servers [14:50] or a small one is lokkit [14:51] ghostcube: cool thanks - which is the "industry standard" though? [14:51] the command 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' don't do anything, do I need to activate some other repos? [14:51] Kosmofield: is this k3b update ? [14:52] I have the backport repo also, It may be that there's a newer version with missing dependencies [14:53] Kosmofield: what package is to be hold back [14:53] ghostcube: k3b only [14:53] sudo apt-get install k3b [14:53] its an error [14:53] :) [14:54] wrong build package [14:54] k3b is already installed :/ [14:54] sudo apt-get upgrade [14:55] Nothing happens, it seems that k3b has some unsatisfied dependencies [14:55] :| [14:56] should not happen [14:57] not a big issue, I not often burn any dvds [14:59] hm how can I get synergy working??

[17:07] how to make firestarter load on boot without asking password? :) [17:12] OK you gurus out there I started up an internet update to the Ibex last night. Somewhere in the middle of the mess my dsl connection took a crap. I now have a machine that will only boot into single user mode. I have a usb stick installed on the back that I want to use to backup my data and then I will do a cdrom clean install. How do I get the blasted usb stick mounted? I can't remember how manually mount an [17:12] sudo mount /dev/devicename /media/mountname [17:13] pici what should I call the thumbdrive in devicename? [17:15] pici I am doing something wrong it says that mount point doesn't exist. === darlio is now known as XMan [17:15] compilerwriter2: no, you need to create the mountpoint. [17:16] its just an empty directory. [17:16] Donde estoy.... [17:16] Pici so I just need to mkdir in /media? [17:16] !es | XMan [17:16] XMan: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [17:16] compilerwriter2: yep. [17:16] compilerwriter2: sudo mkdir /media/something [17:17] Hello... [17:17] bye [17:18] now the device doesn't exist pici [17:20] pici I have the mount point now how do I get the machine to see the drive [17:21] pici Can I get a cdrw to write from the comand line? [17:22] compilerwriter2: cat /proc/partitions shoud show you the detect devices and partitions [17:23] hi vaiursch :) [17:24] jmux I havd sda sda1 sda2 sda5 and then I think these are the thumb. I have sdb and sdb1 [17:25] jmux should then try to mount sdb to the mountpoint I created? [17:25] compilerwriter2: no, sdb is the disk, sdb1 is the partition [17:26] jmux so I should then try to mount sdb1 [17:26] compilerwriter2: yes [17:28] Now then I just need to copy my home directory etc to the thumb and I can start over. Am I correct Jmux? [17:29] compilerwriter2: If the thumb is using any linux file system (means no fat32) you should be fine [17:30] jmux how would I check that out? [17:30] compilerwriter2: mount [17:31] hello everyone [17:31] jmux is vfat ok? [17:32] no - that's fat32, as all sticks are normally formatted for win, which doesn't know most unix file attribs [17:33] I am trying to use Mplayer to "rip" rm streams, but for some reason it Mplayer as a standalone player won't play them (which would let me dump them to wave), but they will play in the Firefox plugin [17:34] I need to format the stick then don't I jumux [17:34] s/jumux/jmux [17:34] compilerwriter2: you should be fine, if you use tar [17:35] just create a tarball and write it to the stick in vfat? [17:36] compilerwriter2: simply tar it to the stick, somethink like tar -cf /media/stick/my-backup.tar /home/myhome [17:39] compilerwriter2: check out the tar manpage - I guess you would also need --preserve and probably compress it (-z or -j) [17:39] will do jmux [17:40] thanks jmux [17:41] One more thing jmux how does one suspend and then restart a job in the background. I think it is a ^z and then one does something to put the process back into motion in the background. [17:42] jmux does one just type bg jobnumber? [17:42] fg to bring a process to the foreground again [17:43] compilerwriter2: jobs list all jobs, bg + fg puts them where you want [17:49] Thanks jmux it is amazing how much one forgets when one doesn't have to use the terminal on a daily basis. [17:58] so nobody knows how I can get Mplayer to play .rm streams? [17:59] thedark, mplayer isn't play the real media stream by default? [17:59] thedark: send me a link to an .rm stream [18:00] thedark: hmm what codec pack si used in mplayer options ? [18:00] ffmpeg ? [18:00] thedark, try mplayer -v -v STREAMURL and see what it says [18:01] and if not playing add -playlist as option too [18:01] if this works [18:01] hmm tried to install sun java6rte and the installation exited with errors. no i get a msg that the apt-get database is in use ? [18:02] okay give me a sec, thanks for the advice [18:05] its possible to reorder my accounts on thunderbird ? [18:06] not sure, have you tried dragging them? [18:06] sthanks ghostcube, it seems to be working [18:07] wonder why it doesn't work in the gui [18:07] thedark: with the playlist option ? [18:07] nm I take it back [18:07] lol [18:08] thedark: btw did u install w32codecs ? [18:08] is that in the repo? [18:08] !info w32codecs [18:08] Package w32codecs does not exist in hardy [18:08] !medibuntu [18:08] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:10] jmux I just realized that I have tar in the tar file I just created. That can't be good. Perhaps I should try again? [18:12] how do I specify the interfaace wich I want to ping from? [18:12] Vermux, ping -I interface (capital eye) [18:12] sorry was afk :) [18:13] compilerwriter2: Shouldn't be a problem, if one of the tar'ed files is a tar [18:14] okay I installed it and it worked :) [18:14] oy vay this command line stuff takes some getting used to though [18:15] Is it possible to copy an entire install of kubuntu to another drive... i.e. if upgrading a harddrive, do an exact copy of the origional drive onto the new one so that all programs, settings etc remain without having to do a fresh install? [18:17] okay so now I have the url streams I want to record in a playlist.txt file, and am going to use this: mplayer -playlist playlist.txt -ao pcm -aofile mystream.wav -vc dummy -vo null === marmar is now known as ToRrES [18:18] but how do I make sure that mplayer doesn't overwrite the previous stream when it moves to the next stream, since they are all the streams are set to be saved with the same filename? [18:21] come on this has to be an easy one after all that! [18:21] is there a way to set it to save it with a variable filename? [18:22] or will it by default no overwrite files and save files as mystream1.wav mystream2.wav mystream3.wav etc. [18:24] deneme [18:28] hi [18:29] I have .tif file with several images, can I see it with kubuntu?

[23:09] was gonna run kubuntu with it. [23:10] dr_willis: I'v got also an 8800 gts [23:10] invsblduck, its very likely - you will have no issues at all. [23:10] i'm guessing i can make it work fine, but i wanted to hear some success stories first :) [23:10] coolness [23:11] most of the issues i recall was with the older nvidia drivers. [23:11] my 7600gt and 8800gts both work flawlessly under 8.04 with proprietary drivers [23:11] i salmost got a 8600 for this box.. then spurged on the 8800.. then the newer ones came out 2 weeks later.. :) [23:11] genii: great, ty [23:18] dr_willis: i've made that mistake before :) [23:18] dr_willis: now i always see what's on the horizon before i purchase.. [23:19] (of course that could lead to an infinite waiting game :) [23:19] invsblduck, :) yep. but it was the best value at that time. [23:19] and it does the job. I rarely game.. but it has plenty of power for when i do game [23:19] so, kubuntu is like the best linux distro i've ever used [23:20] kde 4.1.x of course [23:20] i'm a brand new convert [23:20] i've been using debian for a long time (~10 yrs), and gentoo for a long time [23:21] i even built a 32-node distcc compile farm for gentoo i was so into it...

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:22] gracias [23:23] but i don't think i'm ever going back...i installed hardy on my new dell laptop, and it's pretty much like a dream (except for one inexcusable thing ;) ... [23:23] which is? [23:23] i've always been too proud to look at ubuntu [23:23] "it's for noobs" etc. [23:23] i'm really impressed, it's really great. :) [23:23] Greetings! [23:24] Who would be kind enough to help out a noob with Display related issues on Hardy? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [23:24] coreymon77: an atkeyboard.c bug from 2005 related to acpi that causes my keyboard to go nuts when i type [23:24] oh, cant help you with that [23:25] no. apparently not. i've been reading launchpad bug reports and kernel.org bug reports for a week, and it's really confusing [23:25] i've never seen anything like it in my history of using linux [23:26] and it's *years old* ... i don't get it. [23:26] old bios bug they cant get a kernel patch to fix ? [23:26] seems to affect a lot of ubuntu users, i've never seen it before for some reason [23:26] acpi=off i imagine is the normal suggestion? [23:26] dr_willis: right [23:27] dr_willis: brand new bios on my dell notebook [23:27] Icve had to do that on some of my machines for ages.. then suddendly a new disrto/release - fixes whatever issue it was.. and i dont need it any more [23:27] 'brand new laptop' = BINGO.. :) exactly what i had to use it for last time [23:27] hehe [23:27] bios makers/laptop makers tend to do 'weird' things at times. === pvandewyngaerde is now known as Guest37319 [23:28] Anybody around to help out? [23:28] My laptop was running its clock at like 10x normal speed.. every 6 min.. the clock would show an hr had passed. [23:28] a bios update fixed that [23:28] invsblduck, its possile the next ubutnu release might fix your issue also. [23:28] dr_willis: I had a box like that too [23:28] deardeath: what's up? [23:29] dr_willis: it's incredible to see a bug report that started in 2005 and was last modified 1 week ago [23:29] dr_willis: apparently it's not fixed in 2.6.27, which is targeted for 8.10 [23:29] I installed Hardy few hours ago, and have been trying to deal with its graphical issues. [23:29] if the bios makers are making the bug.. :) or common mistake.. or making the same mistake a dozen different ways... [23:29] ati card deardeath?
