[00:00] Dioxin: root? [00:00] is there a way to set konqueror as default? [00:00] !dolphin [00:00] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [00:00] Hola: I'm afraid I'm out of my depth there [00:01] hola: is the drive mounted? [00:01] btw: how can I switch languge by keyboard? [00:02] Dioxin: i have a host with kub 7.10 with all drive mounted and i have a virtual machine (clinet) with no mount device [00:02] !nfs [00:02] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [00:03] Hola:I would guess either.. you dont have permission to access them... or enviroment isnt set correctly... best ask someone else tho [00:05] Dioxin: on client they are not mounted because i dont know how to do it.....nfs? [00:09] Hi there, Im trying to automount a win2k3 share in kubuntu in the fstab using a credentials file for security but when I try to mount the dir, the mount command hangs.. Any idea what might be the cause? dmesg is not saying anything, the command is simply stalled [00:10] phoenixz: a mount command usually stall when its having problems reading the partition [00:10] thats been my experience [00:11] what do i have to tybe in console for adjusting the Xserver nu_*like it is at the basic installing} === ubuntu is now known as muhkuh [00:11] dappermuis, well.. it mounted without problems 5 mins ago when I was _not_ using the credentials file. [00:12] then why are you using the credentials file? [00:12] what do i have to tybe in console for adjusting the Xserver nu_*like it is at the basic installing} [00:13] it should check the hole system new [00:13] phoenixz: like nosrednaekimsaid, there's your problem [00:13] muhkuh: i know what you're talking about, but i just can't remember the command [00:13] * dappermuis thinks [00:13] hey all, when I try signing it to administrator mode it says "conversation with su failed" What's that??? Can anyone help??? [00:13] holz sh... [00:13] `` [00:14] liz: in kde4? [00:14] muhkuh: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver [00:14] i did [00:14] nosrednaekim, the machine is used by multiple users, its for security, I dont want passwords flying around [00:14] muhkuh: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org [00:14] it doesn|t work [00:14] yes in kde4 nosrenaekim [00:14] phoenixz: right [00:14] dappermuis, I think my problem is there as well, but.. how can I fix it? [00:14] liz: you need to run any admin apps from a konsole with "kdesudo appname" due to kde4's kdesu not using sudo [00:15] it is because that missunderstood mz grapic card ..... [00:15] nosrednaekim, dappermuis, its only a credentials file.. just another place where the user+pass are located.. [00:15] phoenixz: ya i know - i've never worked with a credentials file though, so i wouldn't know where to start looking [00:15] how can i let the szstem check the grapic card [00:16] so it would be kdesudo networksettings? [00:16] muhkuh: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org [00:16] i did that does not work [00:17] muhkuh: what does it say? [00:17] i even installed the x new [00:18] something like fatal error [00:18] can some sort of upgrade fix that?.... I used it a few minutes ago fine then when I tried again is when that error showed [00:18] liz: i used to get that error a long time ago...i found that either just waiting, or restarting usually fixed it [00:19] it worked till i did reconfigure [00:19] i did that cause i wanted to plaz a game whic wasn|t working [00:19] I was thinking of restarting :) I sure do hope time will fix it dappermuis [00:20] linux really isn|t supposed to run games [00:20] liz: it should do...especially if it was working before [00:20] muhkuh: there are a few decent games for linux, Tremulous and warzone2100 being two [00:21] I have another question... in konsole how do you type a new line under the one u just typed?? [00:21] zeah zeah and if i trz to run it i will sonn sit at installing the hole thing new [00:21] liz: what you mean? like enter 2 commands? [00:21] liz: you don't. You just hit enter and then put in a new line. Or do you mean in vi? [00:21] like i have to if i don|t get it back [00:22] oh ok thx slimeypete [00:22] Hi, is kde4 avaliable for ppc? [00:23] I dont know if u can type 2 commands... I'm new at this [00:23] liz: you'll get the hang of it with practice :) [00:23] i will only lose 60GB^^ [00:23] if you need to type two commands try using / [00:23] ; even [00:23] liz: if you want you can type two commands on one line if you seperate them with a ; [00:24] me dummz just made a single root partition..... [00:24] but you can also use | if you want the commands to operate on the same inputs [00:24] oh cool, thx dappermuis, I wrote that down :) [00:24] hey, how can I copy from a cd using k3b having only one cd-drive [00:24] ? [00:24] in kubuntu how can I switche between two lang? [00:24] I have en and heb [00:24] liz: sure, np [00:24] copy cd [00:24] limac: check the option to "create image only" first [00:25] limac: then burn the cd image afterwards [00:25] dappermuis: allrihgt, thank you very much :) [00:25] dappermuis: wher is that option? [00:25] where [00:26] thx much everyone, you'll probably see me again..... and again.... and again... :) [00:26] Hey, anyone know where I can find the settings for multimedia keyboards in KDE? I want to change the volume control to control PCM, and reduce the step size. [00:26] dappermuis: nm, I found it! thanks btw [00:26] :) [00:26] limac: when you click copy cd -> under settings [00:26] I found it thank u [00:26] limac: :) [00:26] bye liz [00:27] if i would deinstall the hole xserver and get it new would it check mz szstem or will it have the same config as now_ [00:28] if i wanted to harass peeps on irc about bash scripts where is the best place to go? :P [00:28] hi all [00:28] hello [00:29] i've got a problem: i have an external usb device which i'd like to mount to /home at boot time [00:29] so i specified it in my fstab as follows: "/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 auto,hotplug,defaults 0 0" [00:29] ah, without hotplug: "/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 auto,defaults 0 0" [00:30] how ca i COMPLETLY remove the Xserver [00:30] so why isn't the device mounted automatically at boot time? [00:30] the option "auto" should normally do the trick, but it doesn't [00:30] the device doesn't mount [00:31] try a 'sudo mount -a' see if mounts then [00:31] or gives an error message [00:31] does anyone know of any other utils except acetone and poweriso to open .daa files? [00:31] Dr_willis: it does when i do sudo mount -a, but i'd like it to mount automatically [00:32] cant you place sudo mount -a into the start up script? [00:32] that is mounting it autopmatically. when the system boots up - it basicially does a 'sudo mount -a' [00:32] how ca i COMPLETLY remove the Xserver ? [00:32] Dr_willis: mounting it by hand after boot works fine [00:32] If you are saying its NOT mounting at boot up that is.. Theres somthing.. odd going on. [00:32] Dioxin: that's what ubuntu does automatically, all devices are mounted which are in the fstab [00:33] muhkuh: sudo apt-get xserver-xorg.conf [00:33] but usb devices obviously don't work [00:33] example minimal fstab entry --> /dev/hdd1 /Public ext3 defaults 0 0 [00:33] muhkuh: oops [00:33] mounts automatically. if its USB - THEN thats a whole nother issue. [00:33] sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg.conf [00:33] i have to remove it first [00:33] aaah [00:33] muhkuh: why [00:33] ^^ [00:33] Dr_willis: any suggestions? [00:33] its possible its not seeing the usb device when the mounting stuff is ran. [00:34] It is only good for servers not to have x [00:34] put the mount command in rc.local perhaps [00:34] cause i don|t get a GUI cause it figured out the wrong grapic card [00:34] muhkuh: ok [00:34] do not run that command [00:34] whz [00:34] Dr_willis: when is rc.local executed? [00:34] sudo apt-get --purge xserver-xorg.conf would do it BUT... [00:35] there is a command to reconfig xorg [00:35] as if it were just being installed [00:35] but i ran the reconfig [00:35] and that is what it chrashed [00:35] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf [00:35] ok [00:36] sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg.conf [00:36] Dr_willis: i'll try that with rc.local [00:36] purge will remove config files [00:36] anyway i have debian so it may wont work anyway [00:37] noone answers on debian [00:37] and i run a kubuntu live cd now [00:37] muhkuh: what are you trying to do now? [00:38] but i have to reboot cause i vcannot mount the filesys [00:38] ok [00:38] i just want the GUI back which i kille with the reconfig [00:38] on debian 4.0 ETCH [00:38] so ill go try ^^ [00:39] thank zou [00:39] np [00:40] i will come back anyway cause it wont work [00:40] nothing i want to do workds ^^ [00:42] ok that is im done all i want is dual monitoring [00:45] !dualhead [00:45] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:46] Dr_willis: putting mount -a into rc.local didn't solve the problem [00:47] wow there's a lot of ppl in here... [00:47] Dr_willis: i guess the usb storage driver isn't present when the default-mount is executed at boot [00:48] I gotta question ppl.. [00:48] How do I go about getting Divx on here?

[01:03] had it on other PC [01:03] vlc is in the repositories.

[01:06] :p [01:06] ive also pasted the exact command 4 different times [01:06] well 2 :) [01:06] sudo apt-get install vlc [01:06] sudo apt-get install vlc [01:06] theres 4 :) [01:06] lol [01:06] or use the add/remove programs icon [01:06] what Version of Kubuntu are you using? it may be in a diffrent spot for the older ones [01:07] so what's wrong w/ wine? [01:07] joe__, its not needed wh4en theres a linux native port for one thing. [01:07] it wont be as integerated as the normal vlc for another [01:07] it will run slower for another. [01:07] ummm the one that gets installed when u type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:08] in term. [01:08] *shrug* [01:08] joe__, try lsb_release -a [01:08] k hold on [01:08] Release: 7.10 [01:08] thats the latest release. 7.10 [01:10] weird [01:10] it only gave me my Ubuntu version [01:10] what do you mean weird [01:10] did you do the -a ?

[01:11] :) [01:11] right I can use the KDE environment on top of Ubuntu OS correct? [01:12] that is what kubuntu is [01:12] k thought so [01:12] You can install kde on ubuntu, and ubuntu on kubuntu. yes. [01:12] but yeah these disks are rather old I got them a while ago [01:12] never used them b/c I was too comfy with Windows [01:13] I would suggest either reinstailling from a 7.10 disk. or doing some upgrades. [01:13] and now I can't run WIndows on my PC b/c I"m using a CRAPPY one [01:13] if you insist onkeeping 6.06 - then this page tells ya what to do http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [01:13] Im trying to automount a win2k3 share in kubuntu in the fstab using a credentials file for security. but when I try to mount the dir, the mount command hangs.. Any idea what might be the cause? dmesg is not saying anything, the command just hangs.. [01:14] ok so is there a site I can order the 7.10 version? [01:14] I just download the cd's :) [01:14] or d/ld it? [01:14] lol [01:14] Kubuntu homepage for one. [01:14] meh I don't much like commandeering my g/fs laptop [01:15] 700mb download.

[01:18] have to sign into the site [01:18] just faster mostly [01:18] joe__, shipit service will take a few weeks to get you a cd.

[01:19] unagi_: there is a reason. kde may not support it. [01:20] gnome must have the keys maped properly [01:20] interesting [01:20] unagi_: or the battery manager runs it [01:20] ive had the reverse to be true on some laptops. [01:20] there were many things about kde that made me want to switch [01:20] dialup over bluetooth was fairly less of a hassle [01:20] unagi_: we, here like kde [01:20] speaking of which what is the name of the dial up app in kubuntu [01:21] kppp? [01:21] unagi_: kppp [01:21] thanks [01:21] yep [01:21] that was a pretty streamline program [01:22] what i dont get is why gnome and kde have wireless managers that you cant refresh the list....

[01:45] with choppy flash and video [01:45] joe__: it wont slow much more [01:45] joe_: i think swap helps a lot, with 512 I have a (overtly large) 1.9 Gig swap partation, it never gets more than half way full, even while compiling [01:45] hopefully [01:45] nice [01:46] joe__: try running free -t to see how low it gets [01:46] * tekteen has 2,9 GB of swap [01:46] * g2g591 thinks tekteen has way too much swap [01:46] same numbers [01:47] * tekteen want to upgrade to 2GB of ram [01:47] I need a new MOBO for my old PC is all lol [01:47] * g2g591 uses only about half of 1.9 Gig, even while compiling something huge like glibc (on Gentoo dual-boot) [01:47] * tekteen also has vista ( andnot happy about it) [01:47] hello. I have inadvertantly changed the monitor in system settings to a monitor that isnt mine. I have a hp laptop, is there a way i can find out which hp monitor i should choose? [01:47] bye bye nice people going to sleep [01:47] aye Vista sux [01:47] bye amusnaakage [01:48] hasta amuns [01:48] * g2g591 's vista was so sluggish, he switched to linux [01:48] joe__, this isn't a windows bash chat ... lets hear the good stuff about linux [01:49] * tekteen has not use vista yet but needs more ram to run both vista nad americas army [01:49] tyson_: google search your type of laptop and see if they can tell ya [01:49] tyson_: don't " choose" a monitor, if you know the appropriate resolution, you can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to set it to the right settings [01:49] Linux is better then windows.. :) hows that BluesKaj ? :) [01:49] oh ok BLue [01:49] lol [01:49] Dr_willis: true [01:49] Dr_willis, :) [01:49] umm as a first timer at Linux I got quite frustrated when trying to "mount" my other hard drive [01:49] joe: im trying, having no luck [01:50] hmmm [01:50] It pays to spend some time learning the funamentals of Linux. [01:50] I"ll bet it does [01:50] g2g591: i inadvertatly already did, so i am trying to switch it back to what it was [01:50] Not just pasteing in 'mythical' commands that you hope may do what you want. :) [01:50] joe__: for a start, mostly every command has a --help function [01:51] Dr_willis: I like to paste commands [01:51] joe__: also see man command for a small manual (other things may need googling [01:51] yeah but I've never really been one to "get into" the ins and outs of an OS [01:51] Dr_willis: I love sudo rm -rf / *** DO NOT USE *** [01:52] Dr_willis: the warning is for people watching [01:52] meh I"m jsut using this POS to try to find a job and surf around [01:53] oh wow you can open konsole from konversation... [01:54] that would have been helpful about 5 minutes ago lol [01:54] so who are all those ppl over there and why aint the saying anything? [01:55] *cricket cricket* [01:55] joe__, I often wonder about that myself ...12 ppl chatting and 330 lurkers :) [01:56] aye I know [01:56] yep [01:56] I call them ghosts [01:56] oooooooooooooooooooooo [01:56] lol [01:56] they are here and not here [01:56] booo [01:56] tv-time for an hr or so, BBL === ashaszin_ is now known as demian [01:57] lol [01:57] allrighty guys I"m out as well I need to head to bed [01:57] night [01:57] g2g591: i did what u suggested, but its not getting the correct resolutions i had [01:59] hi everyone [01:59] i have a big prob [01:59] last night i had to reinstall kubuntu [01:59] because when I updated it stopped the adept package manager from working, and i couldnt do any mroe updates. [02:00] has this happened to anyone? example=geting fresh install then updating has an error [02:00] and now i cant run it [02:00] jhend60: you can always use the command line to restore everything... [02:00] did you try a dpkg --configure? [02:01] i think so b ut it says database is lock [02:01] gotcha..hmm [02:01] !adeptfix [02:01] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [02:02] ill try that thanks [02:06] is there a program that can tell me exactly what monitor i have so i can choose the right one in the system settings? (its a hp laptop) [02:07] which model? [02:07] normally you just need to set the proper res. and it will be ok [02:07] dv9220us [02:07] is it a 15 or 17? [02:07] 17 wide [02:08] tyson_: freind has the same one... the res is 1440x900 [02:08] i know the res [02:08] It didnt work when u tried to set the resolution, [02:09] ? [02:09] how do i launch pakages from the konsole [02:09] or even launch packages? [02:10] jhend60: lauch packages? [02:10] the issue is i was trying to get dual monitors working, and inadvertantly told system settings that my primary monitor was something else. instead of setting the secondary monitor. so when i restart x, the laptop screen looks screwy. so i go back to sys settings to change it back to what it was, and i dont know what hp monitor to select in the list provided [02:10] coz i have huge text on logon [02:10] i ned kdm theme manager to fix [02:10] so what command do i write to launch [02:11] jhend60: launch what? [02:11] a package from adept [02:11] are you trying to install a package or execute a program? [02:11] well i got the package kdm manage how do i use it? [02:12] i want to use a package [02:12] ok [02:12] or are they not usable [02:12] jhend60: kdm is executed by "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" but don't run that [02:12] nosrednaekim: what monitor does ya friend have selected from the monitor list? [02:12] did you try System Settings? [02:13] yes but its a module to change the kdm theme [02:13] tyson_: generic 1440x900 I think... it doesn't really matter. [02:13] do modules automatically add itself [02:13] oh ok [02:13] the text is huge on the menu and updating didnt work [02:13] tyson_: with a LCD, you don't really have to worry too much about refresh rates and such [02:13] updating had error [02:14] jhend60: thats a X DPI issue [02:14] if you type "kcontrol" at a konsole window [02:14] ok i have seen people say --96 but im a noob so i dont know how to change [02:14] you get the KDE Control Center, which might let you change the login screen [02:14] ok ill try kcontrol [02:16] Control Center > System Administration > Login Manager [02:16] Login Manager lets you customize the login screen [02:16] (found at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-25623.html :-) [02:16] ok [02:16] thanks [02:16] but when i run kcontrol [02:16] im in termina [02:16] l [02:17] it says an error with Klocal trying to look up something in catalogue and to fix it [02:19] how do i get to Login Manager?

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:19] well [02:19] can someone help me with open arena?

Version 0.6.0-4 (gutsy), package size 747 kB, installed size 1648 kB [02:20] when it updates, after a while, im not sure what it said but it said something about download interference [02:20] or something [02:20] it downloaded all [02:20] but it was a bit wierd [02:20] so you try running a system update through adept, and after a while it comes up with some kind of error message?

Not sure :) I thought most servers auto-downloaded them to the users .WHATEVER dir [02:21] even though it says [02:22] hey hey [02:22] dr_willis: my brother found out how to get them but he wont tell me (lol) [02:23] ok dist-upgrade says 0 upgraded 0 needed [02:23] guys, i installed the KDE4, but i want some extra KDE4 apps, like Konversation and Kate. how can i do this [02:23] lot of people here [02:23] ok [02:23] brmassa: there is no kde4 version of konversation [02:23] in kcontrol [02:23] it says that all fonts are 9 [02:23] size [02:23] where is login manager in kcontrol? [02:23] nosrednaekim: :(. but the kate guys said that Kate has [02:24] brmassa: it does.... the package name is "kate-kde4" [02:24] Do you see "System Administration" at the bottom of the left nav bar?

[02:26] so the fonts are fixed? [02:26] ill check [02:26] lcd [02:26] that's got to be hard on the eyes [02:29] text is still huge [02:29] some people fixed this by setting font really small [02:30] well im using a laptop [02:30] with intel 915Mobile graphics chipset [02:32] my screensaver has mysteriously stopped prompting for a password. desktop settings still has that box checked. help? [02:33] sparr_: try typing the password anyway. [02:33] worst [02:33] ok ive set text small but the fonts are still huge! [02:33] phishing [02:33] I have recently divided my single partition into three different partitions, 1 for Windows, 1 for KDE, and 1 for universal media. The problem is, I cannot mount the two new partitions in KDE. Only in GNOME, and that is because GNOME asks me for root permission, KDE does not. Could anyone perhaps suggest a solution? [02:33] attempt [02:33] ever [02:34] Strangework: i dont know the gui solution, but i would suggest adding them to /etc/fstab so that they are always mounted [02:34] sparr_: Hm! Sounds good, what should I add to it? the names by default seem to be disk and disk1 [02:35] ok [02:35] the fonts have changed a bit but still are really big [02:35] ill make them like all 1 [02:36] nosrednaekim: i forgot to ask: if there is no konversation, how to use irc on kde4? [02:36] Strangework: id probably be more descriptive. make /media/windows and /media/media (unless that confuses you), then add rows to mount the partitions to those locations. maybe let users mount/unmount them [02:36] brmassa: kopete-kde4 or konversaton from kde3 [02:36] is there a way for kde to revert to its initial settings it had when it was installed? [02:36] nosrednaekim: thanks [02:36] Shmoe: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-bak [02:37] Shmoe: the beauty of linux [02:37] sparr_: Hm, I think I could handle it with the given information, thank you. :) [02:37] does that include monitor settings? [02:37] that includes everything [02:37] ok, thanks mate [02:37] UNLESS you were in admin mode when you made a change [02:37] heh [02:38] hope he caught that :) [02:39] Can anyone tell me off the top of their heads how to run the xorg configuration? Trying to get my resolution supported. [02:40] Kobol: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:40] nosrednaekim: Thanks mate :) [02:40] uhh you'll need to sudo that too [02:44] sparr_: Okayy.. I am lost. XD So what do I put in fstab? [02:46] something like this: /dev/sdXN /media/windows ntfs user,defaults 0 2 [02:46] you can replace the /dev/... with a UUID if you know how to find that for the partition, i never can remember [02:46] im back [02:46] ok [02:46] im sorry, what was that command to revert to initial kde installation settings? [02:46] what plugin do i need to play dvds with kaffeine [02:47] sparr_: hm, what is /dev/sdXN? [02:47] do i need divx?

[02:50] does anyone have any experience w/kde4 [02:50] sparr_: None taken, I will check back later after my bath, peace out. :) [02:50] i really want to avoid reinstalling kubuntu. yes im the n00b [02:50] Hmm, since I restarted Adept wont seem to open? Says another program is using the service, where there isn't?

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [03:09] and i wasn't asking for help with it, i'm currently using it, i was just wondering what other people though [03:10] jhend60: what i did was install hardy (still in alpha, but works great for me) and then just "sudo apt-get install kde4-core" [03:10] ok [03:10] did u have to download 700 mb?

[03:12] so the module menu should fix this but i cant see it [03:12] yes that is true [03:12] Veovis, at this point kde4 seems to be quite hardware dependent, the resulting ease or use or probs stem from your particular setup from what i've been seeing and hearing. [03:13] BluesKaj: actually i'm on a 6 year old dell latitude and while i don't have to much eye-candy, it runs great [03:13] jhend60: can't you right click on the k-menu (you might have to unlock the panel) and edit the k-menu? [03:13] ill try to explore to find how to run this moudle [03:13] jhend60- if there's no Games entry in the KMenu, you might just not have any games installed [03:13] I don't the the KMenu shows empty menus by default [03:14] I don't think [03:14] i have two (banner/something else and 3d chess) [03:14] three i mean [03:14] Veovis, it made too many changes to kde3.5.8 for my liking [03:14] but the first two dont run [03:15] not kde itself , but the common apps [03:15] BluesKaj: well that was kinda the point. it is far from complete (it has almost no customizability, which is what i hate about Gnome) but it's making good progress and i like what i'm seeing so far [03:16] Veovis, very mac-ish [03:16] BluesKaj: what makes you say that? because of the widgets? [03:17] just the general "look" [03:18] anyway , i will definitely try it again, but later [03:18] I think it looks kinda macish.... but I like it... [03:18] its not so macish that its obnoxious...like baghira [03:18] BluesKaj: huh, i've had several people say it looks like vista just cause its black. The 'problem' if you want to call it that is that with so many operating systems that you can't make somethnig thats completely original [03:18] How do I make K Menu alphabetical? [03:18] It's all over the place. [03:19] Veovis: I don't know if you read this, but KDE is being ported to Win and Mac. [03:20] Veovis, yes I think you're right ..ppl would complain if kde4 was too different :) [03:20] draik: yeah i heard! i thought it was very ... interesting [03:20] draik, yes , was reading about it ...gonna be interesting [03:20] Veovis: Interesting is "channel friendly" for what I was actually thinking [03:20] * regeya works with os x machines for a living so he for one welcomes his new kde4...nevermind. [03:21] in soviet russia Kde4 frees YOU! [03:21] Veovis: BluesKaj: I didn't get a chance to read it at work. How is that going to work with GPL and all? [03:22] draik: no clue [03:22] draik: what do you mean? [03:22] !aptlock [03:22] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:22] draik, not sure , i din't much other detail except the porting to windows and mac [03:23] nosrednaekim: I don't know. I figure there is something in the GPL which would conflict with the way Windows, ummm.. functions (?) [03:24] draik: nope... qt4 is GPLed [03:24] nosrednaekim: Couldn't think of anything that wouldn't be an oximoron to windows. [03:24] it was on that windows loving site techspot [03:24] draik: hahah, true, but they have things like gimp that are gpl taht run on windows [03:24] OO.o as well [03:24] nosrednaekim: Good point [03:24] yup, just installed gimpshop in windows [03:24] draik: firefox and Pidgin bor example work on windows [03:25] i assume it will not replace whatever you call the windows window manager, it will just be a way to run your kde apps in windows (kinda like wine? but the other way around and totally differente :P ) [03:25] I never thought about Firefox because it seems that its platform-wide. Not something going from Linux to windows [03:25] actually I don't know if firefox is under the GPL [03:26] Veovis: yeah.. I think thats what they are thinking, although replaceing explorer.exe would be totally sweet [03:26] * draik shuts up and goes back to his corner. "Yeah, I think the 10ft fall had worse results than expected..." [03:26] hello [03:26] ^_^ [03:26] i have a problem trying to make new folders [03:26] * draik goes to find the village missing its idiot to fill the spot [03:27] yjlim: CLI or GUI? [03:27] i can't make folders in root/bin [03:27] GUI [03:27] or CLI [03:27] nosrednaekim: actually, there is something like that, i got sick of windows and tried out something like sharpE (sharpe Environment) that basically replace the windows task bar, etc. it was nice but nothing compared to linux [03:27] i need to take ownership of the folder [03:27] Veovis: yeah.. and I heard blackbox was ported as well [03:27] yjlim: Why? [03:27] yjlim: you need sudo for that [03:27] ok [03:27] thanks [03:28] what is the exact command for chmodding the folder permissions? [03:28] i'm a newbie [03:28] Wait. Did you want ownership to your user or the ability to create a folder?

[08:41] O [08:41] I'm in Australia its not the middle of the night here :) [08:41] :D italy 9.41 am [08:41] what about gtk apps.. and font size?.. have setting up that gtk apps uses same font as my kde apps.. but eg. in skype there is a diffrent font size [08:41] yeah, should really say or...

[08:43] noaXess: skype is qt iirc... [08:43] jussi01: ok.. but will qt apps not have same font and font size as kde apps? [08:43] noaXess depends on your config [08:44] when I create the staic route restart networking [08:44] and the logged in user [08:44] where can i set, that qt apps also use the same font setting as kde [08:44] stefan_: seems exotic if it works after a reboot but then forgets it... Could be dhcp interfering, then, or something else overriding. [08:44] the machines runs over night [08:44] (ie the root user's config doesn't change if another user changes their QT and/or KDE settings [08:45] I looked tis mornig and the route is away and can not load it again when restarting networking [08:47] stefan_: but the file is still there, with right permissions and all? And are you using dhcp? [08:48] good morning folks :) [08:49] stefan_: you could try an alternative approach, and put the routes as up route add statements in your /etc/network/interfaces and see what happens [08:52] ForgeAu: but there should be a setting for me.. for my session.. that qt apps uses a special font or the font from kde.. [08:53] noaXess I'm fairly certain there is [08:53] I just don't know where exactly its stored [08:54] kcontrol is where you change it [08:54] when I do manually : route add -net 172.0.0.0 gw 10.104.225.1 [08:54] any other have a hint.. about qt styles?

[14:43] ln <> mount [14:43] romunov: because mount is not intended to do that. [14:44] and you usually want to use ln -s (a symbolic link) instead of a hard link [14:44] ok, thanks [14:44] read the manpage for details [14:45] there are cases where it makes sence to use 'mount --bind' [14:45] yes, quota enforcement for instance [14:45] I suppose. [14:45] i still dont know the difference between a symbolic and a hard link - but its similar to the windows shortcut... mount is used to make a volume accessable [14:45] gladier: a hard link is an alternative name for a file. [14:46] gladier: a symbolic link is just a "this file is actually here" pointer [14:46] so the command to link one directory to another would be "ln -s /home/niphargus/www/ /var/www/niphargus/"? [14:46] gladier: the "original file" is actually a hardlink too. === guest is now known as Eco1 [14:47] if you use services which cannot handle symlinks, mount --bind is a nice option [14:47] gladier: so if you create a hard link and delete the "original", the file itself is not deleted. this is not true with symbolic links [14:47] romunov: ln -s /home/niphargus/www /var/www/niphargus [14:47] romunov: /var/www/niphargus should not exist before [14:47] is kubuntu the ubuntu with enlightenment [14:48] hehe [14:48] well that's a problem [14:48] Eco1: no, kde [14:48] i was blind, but now i kde!

[14:53] Eco1: definitely not enough :) [14:53] Eco1: I'd recommend at least 512MB of RAM for KDE. [14:54] ok, thanks for your help [14:55] when i install kubuntu, the laptop monitor is fine. I have a dell monitor attached, and when i go to system settings, it is listed as unknown. so i select it from the list, and then logout and restart x. when i log back it, the LAPTOP's monitor has changed, and not just the secondary monitor that i changed. now i cant even change the resolution on my laptop to 1440x900 like i was able to before the change [14:59] !dual head [14:59] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [15:01] soy nuevo [15:01] donde estoy?

[17:02] yes [17:03] I haven't had refresh rate problems myself but I believe the answer usually lies in the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" - there are some frequency settings in there.

I got a few ubunut lives and alternates... and 1 alternate kubuntu [17:25] (so I'm restricted to XP for a while) [17:25] well I was checking them out klikit sounds interesting === Sbucatone is now known as Creative2 [17:25] well I need to get kubuntu to run off my usb drive before monday [17:25] bazhang: [17:25] anyone? [17:25] mostly just a kubuntu with a web frontend to apt [17:25] dhq@dhq-laptop:/$ lsb_release -a [17:25] No LSB modules are available. [17:25] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [17:25] Description: Ubuntu 7.10 [17:25] Release: 7.10 [17:25] Codename: gutsy [17:25] <_Angelus_> is there a way on kubuntu to get things updated? not only for security issues , but when new versions of programs are available. [17:25] I guess not much different from cnr? [17:25] !compiz | Jasmin_ [17:25] Jasmin_: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [17:26] <_Angelus_> is there a way on kubuntu to get things updated? not only for security issues , but when new versions of programs are available. [17:27] yeah well beryl got reabsorbed into compiz in compiz-fusion [17:27] (before that it was a fork of compiz anyhow) [17:27] ForgeAus I think beryl had some slightly different features [17:27] Adept should do that for you Angelus, theres an update notification icon for the system tray that runs on startup [17:28] Dioxin, beryl was compiz with more plugins [17:28] it has this cool feature where when you get the cube and rotate that the windows on your desktop were stacked in 3d [17:28] yes the desktop cube was part of beryl [17:28] I assume it too has been absorbed back into compiz [17:28] cube is in compiz but not the stacking part [17:29] stacking? [17:29] ok imagine looking at thecube [17:29] is it compatible with KDE's tray yet? [17:29] now imagine that on the right hand face you cant see are 3 windows [17:30] this stacking thing made it so you'd see 3 extra panes of glass coming out of the cube on the right side [17:30] where each bit of glass was a window [17:30] hehe oddly I always had my virtual screens set to 6 just enough for each face of a cube, how convenient is that? :) [17:30] thought it was 4 to make it work [17:31] cos you cant use the top and bottom [17:31] possibly... [17:31] unless they updated it since I last looked [17:31] * ForgeAus shrugs [17:31] using top and bottom would be way cooler imo [17:31] it never worked for me anyway [17:31] although I do rmeember playing with another PC that I did get it working on [17:31] and all the magic lamp effects and wobbly windows :) [17:32] all good fun :) [17:32] yeah I got that to work on my desktop box.. until I managed to kill the comp [17:32] of course at the time it was called beryl... [17:32] but now I assume Compiz-fusion has all that stuff [17:32] http://pastebin.com/m35801175 does this make sense to anyone? === Creative2 is now known as Sbucat [17:33] nah.. when I got it working it was compiz-fusion.. my box died in november [17:33] the highest res i can get on my notebook's lcd w/ the ati driver is 1024x768 and it's awful. that paste has the messages i'm getting when i start x but i'm not sure what to make of them [17:33] yes mot its a http link [17:33] hello [17:33] ...

[17:35] you can use adept [17:35] or apt-get install compiz-fusion [17:35] ForgeAus everyone likes pretty effects... now they wanna know how to get ours! [17:35] lol Dioxin :) [17:35] Dioxin, can you take a look at that link? [17:35] yeah I'm looking at it [17:35] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings manager [17:36] err -manager [17:36] goo dpoint bazhang I forgot about the sudo bit... [17:36] hehe [17:36] thanks [17:36] mot do you actually have a problem? or do you just not like error messages? [17:36] no worries :} [17:37] rofl Dioxin :) [17:37] mot: you can set a virtual desktop size in your xorg.conf to get rid of the problem [17:37] he has a problem in that he would like a greater resolution if possible I take it [17:37] seems like the errors are outputting for s-video which I'm surprised he wants to use [17:37] sub, wouldn't setting his resolution be a better solution? [17:38] hey people, in kubuntu gutsy, firefox with 4 slide, kopete with this chan and 5 bit tornato, i've 14k ram free , i've 1gb in my mobo.... [17:38] ForgeAus➜ guess that depends if hes wanting dual displays [17:38] it's too??? [17:38] whatabout: unless you have a problem using up all your memory means money well spent [17:38] sub[t]rnl, under which section of xorg.conf would i set it? and what's the syntax? === francis is now known as kvl3vr4 [17:39] mot: in "Screen" under subsection "Display" example: Virtual 1024x768 [17:39] all i did was tried to add 1280x1024 into my "DIsplay" section [17:39] hmm [17:39] what does the virtual keyword do? [17:40] mot: increase it to the resolution you need, as the bigger you make it the more video mem it will use [17:40] why i must spend more money for open software, is this in joint venture with hardware producer ? (ram ...) [17:40] what does the virtual keyword do? [17:40] :) [17:40] the virtual keyword sets your virtual desktop size rather than the physical one [17:40] ie your screen extends beyond the res [17:40] so if i have: Modes "1280x1024" [17:40] i can just change it to Virtual "1280x1024" ? [17:41] if my screen extends beyond the res wouldn't it "hang" off the sides? [17:41] you could for example have modes "800x600" and virtual "1024x768" [17:41] mot: try it [17:41] which means it won't show all of the 1024x768 desktop I gather you need to scroll to it by moving the mouse? or something like that [17:42] brb [17:42] sub have you actually used a larger Virtual Desktop before? [17:42] ForgeAus➜ yeah, I need one to use dual displays [17:43] but dual display is a little different you simply move the mouse over to the other display right? [17:43] ForgeAus➜ but he was wondering about the error messages, and thats how its fixed... [17:43] what if you have a virtual desktop and you want to get to other parts of it on the same screen?... [17:43] how can i add/remove precesses at startup? [17:44] sub ok fair enough [17:44] processes [17:44] still leaves me with my question tho [17:44] argh I always forget this one [17:44] kde has a startup location [17:44] ForgeAus➜ if you have a virtual desktop larger than the screen resolution, yeah, the mouse will scroll to get it all.. :P [17:44] (analoglous I guess to windows /startup folder in the start menu there)... [17:45] I just don't remember where exactly it is nor what exactly its called [17:45] what do people use to rip cd's in linux? [17:45] i used to use Exact Audio Copy in windows which was the best [17:45] k3b [17:45] to rip? k3b burns, not sure about ripping [17:46] josh__, I just dump streams with MPlayer, dunno what level of precision you want though. [17:46] whatabout➜ System settings -> Advanced -> System Services [17:46] josh__: grip, konqueror, soundkonverter [17:46] I want the best ripper there is :-P [17:46] if anyone knows? [17:46] josh k3b is GOOD [17:47] !best > josh__ [17:47] i like k3b as well [17:47] josh__: exact audio copy (win) :)) [17:47] ForgeAus: going back to my previous problem.. I think I'll just unplugged my laptop HDD while I install unix on the usb drive.. seems safest that way [17:47] josh: abcde [17:47] Dioxin yeah that IS the safest [17:47] ok thanks everyone [17:48] but my laptop is sooo shiny I dont want to put a screw driver to it [17:48] as long as you don't need the HDD to store a local copy or temporary one before writing to the flash drive [17:48] can you disable it in the bios? [17:48] not a bad idea! [17:48] i was gonna use EAC with wine but it crashed lookin for lame [17:48] * ForgeAus grinz [17:48] bios is pretty lame [17:48] how do i stop the process? [17:48] i'm a bit of a noob [17:48] so not sure I can [17:49] KILL! > josh__ [17:49] might work :D [17:49] HEHE [17:49] Is there a video editor for kde?

[17:50] oh it's video talk allready :D [17:50] not that I have one specifically [17:50] Odd-rationale, you're joking right? nope [17:50] kk take care then its 6pm here [17:50] josh__➜ ctrl + escape rather [17:50] 4.50 or so AM here [17:51] thanks [17:51] Arwen: Sorry, I'm a bit noobish. [17:51] lol sounds like me the other day then.. went to bed a 7am and up at 9am [17:51] hehe, they have their own weird GUI [17:51] Thanks everyone and sbu[t] [17:51] Arwen: So there isn't something made specifically for kde? like kmoviemaker or something?

[17:53] flipstar: Is avidemux a gtk app or qt or something esle? [17:53] its gtk right [17:53] avidemux is a GTK+ app [17:54] and has nothing to do with AVIs or de/muxing [17:54] OK got it. Just looking at the different options. [17:54] he said video editor :) [17:54] * Arwen still says nothing beats AviSynth, but alas it's Windows-only. [17:54] flipstar, I know, just commenting :-P [17:55] So it looks like kdenlive is the kde version of pitivi. Is that somewhat correct? [17:56] right "Kdenlive uses Piave as it's video rendering engine to display and manipulate video clips." [17:58] OK thanks guys! [17:58] How about audio editing? Is audacity gtk? [17:59] audacity is a player only [17:59] flipstar: I thought that was audacious...

X still starts with Mode "1024x768" [18:10] try "1280 1024" [18:10] sub[t]rnl: Hmm. Now my upload stopped. Why is that? [18:11] mkay hang on let me restart x [18:11] the tracker status is ok ? [18:11] normally you should have a dozen of peers [18:12] flipstar: Seems like it. I don't have any errors... [18:12] Odd-rationale➜ are you behind a router?

[18:32] I think you have to boot from 7.10 [18:32] does it completely overwrite 6.06 or does it keep configurations and whatnot? [18:32] depends on your partitioning scheme [18:32] if you install it will overwrite [18:32] how do i reconfigure x?

This is the first time I'm trying to set up RAID on my box and I'm looking for help. I've set up a RAID1 array via my BIOS. Do I need to do anything in Kubuntu? [18:34] Captain_Haddock, you need dmraid [18:35] Arwen: it appears that the mirroring is happening on the motherboard. Do I still need Linux to do anything about it? (What does dmraid do?) [18:35] * Captain_Haddock googles in the meantime [18:35] Motherboard RAID is actually done in drivers. dmraid is a kind of driver for "fakeraid" setups. [18:35] does anyone know of a program that will analyze the bpm in my mp3's? Preferably an amarok script, but those seem few and far between... [18:36] "dmraid - discover software RAID devices and activate RAID sets " [18:36] cool, thanks Arwen [18:37] I dont know what to do [18:37] Arwen: I just have 2 drives in the array. I should be able to add more at any time, right? [18:37] Qba_from_PL: about what? [18:37] The fonts [18:38] I don't have pl fonts in Konsole [18:38] yeah if your bios is capable to do this..its no prob ;) [18:38] Captain_Haddock, by definition, RAID 1 is 2 drives [18:38] since it is a hardware raid [18:38] no reason it couldn't scale though [18:38] And every time I close Konsole the encoding is going to "default" but I need UTF-8 [18:38] flipstar: cool. I'm assuming it's hardware raid. But I've also read that cheap boards with RAID are actually pseudo software RAIDs or some such. [18:38] but he can make raid 5 or so out of it [18:39] yeah possible [18:39] i just installed the latest ATI binary drivers, and it's xorg module (which required compiz to install), and did aticonfig --intial. now, when i start x i just get that grey screen with the X cursor and that's it.. any ideas? the only error i see in the log is (EE) fglrx(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler [18:39] Qba_from_PL: No idea, sorry. [18:39] just take a look at your cpu usage ;) [18:40] hmm I can set encoding by "Settings" -> "encoding" but anything I do, I don't have pl font in that *** Konsole [18:41] Arwen: RAID set "nvidia_cfhbejfd" already active is the message that dmraid gives. Anything more I should do? [18:41] * Captain_Haddock is also installing a new hard drive (s) in Linux for the first time. [18:41] guess not [18:41] * Arwen doesn't touch RAID, it smells like fish [18:42] Considering how reliable hard drives are nowadays, I have no choice but to use it. [18:42] * Captain_Haddock huggles his MP3 collection :| [18:42] hmm wheres D! I'll be falling asleep soon at the keyboard I Think! [18:43] Arwen if I die and get reincarnated as a fish let it please be a red herring :) [18:43] BYe [18:44] I now have "Drive 1", "Unknown Disk" and "Drive 2" in the Disks & Filesystems window. Which am I supposed to use? [18:44] I was hoping that there'd only be one choice :| [18:45] does anyone know of a program that will analyze the bpm in my mp3's?

[18:47] guessing* [18:47] well to check that qtparted should say [18:47] ok, sec [18:48] it generally detects the filesystems and how full [18:48] (so it gives you a reasonable way of telling one partition from another [18:48] mrbrdo_: That is the barebones X server. Did you have kde or gnome on it previously? [18:49] ForgeAus: In qtparted, I see SDA1 and SDB1 when I click on each drive. It says that the partition table is empty. [18:49] note : sdb refers to the entire disk device, sdb1,2,3 etc refers to partitions on that disk [18:49] and I have an option to create a table [18:49] * Captain_Haddock goes ahead and does so [18:49] ok could be something to do with the raid then [18:49] I don't really know that much about it [18:49] er or should I only be doing this for one drive? [18:50] no I don't suggest you partition it without checking out the raid info first...

[18:54] genii: otherwise known as "1970" :D [18:54] mrbrdo_: Are you seeing anything on the second video port/screen? [18:54] genii i don't have anything connected [18:54] jel: Pretty much, yeah :) [18:54] genii but also the xorg.conf is identical like my previous configuration except for the Driver setting which is changed from vesa to fglrx [18:55] and if i change back to vesa it works fine like before, only with the vesa driver, not ati, though [18:55] mrbrdo_: Change the name to ati and see if it gets you in at least [18:55] !adeptfix [18:55] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [18:56] genii: no, then xorg does not even show up but errors out before [18:56] it says no screens found [18:57] genii: maybe i must change something so xgl will run? i only installed the server-xgl package nothing more [18:58] mrbrdo_: after kdm login where you see just background switch the monitor to other adapter and see if X thinks it's the primary now [18:58] other plug of same adapter, actually [18:59] i'm on notebook, but i have a VGA out, i will try, sec [18:59] sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager i installed this package now how can i see effect on my kubuntu [19:00] * selene is away: Gone away for now. [19:00] mrbrdo_: You might need to edit /etc/kde{3,4}/kdm/kdmrc for Xgl; not sure [19:00] Jasmin_: run it by: alt-f2 ccsm then configure what effects, etc. Then run compiz by: alt-f2 compiz --replace [19:01] genii: i tried.. there is signal, but only black screen [19:01] Jasmin_: if compiz messes up try alt-f2 kwin --replace [19:01] genii: ok [19:02] mrbrdo_: The ati cards have some problems determining ddc, but under linux I am not sure of the fix. [19:02] mrbrdo_: Did you try the manual install outlined at the wiki.cchtml site? [19:03] no i don't know which site you are talking about actually [19:03] mrbrdo_: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.1_Driver_Manually [19:03] i did follow the wiki to install the drivers manually from ATI's site, but i had to also install compiz for it to work [19:04] mrbrdo_: I recommend the link provided above, no install of compiz etc etc needed. [19:05] genii: nothing happen on my screen what do i hav to do [19:05] Jasmin_: You have to tell ccsm what effects you want to enable and so on. Or did it not run? [19:06] guys I've got a really easy question for you all... and I feel pretty stupid I dont know the answer [19:07] I installed Kubuntu onto a USB Drive and it booted [19:07] Jasmin: If you mean the alt-f2 compiz --replace did not seem to do anything, there is no drastic sudden change in the appearance of your desktop. [19:07] aI even remembered my username and pw [19:07] but I couldnt remember how to startup the GUI [19:08] genii: it is required with the current ATI drivers or the xorg package that is created by their binary installer won't install [19:08] genii: i followed some steps from the guide and rebooted, will soon see.. [19:08] hmm "some steps" [19:08] well i didn't install the driver again [19:09] but other than that i followed all the other steps [19:09] i installed it the same way anyway [19:09] btw didn't fix anything i've still got the same problem [19:10] genii: it is not running [19:12] genii: when i did this command kwin --replace its just flash something n stop [19:12] test [19:13] I have my HD divided into seperate partitions, I am attempting to install Windows XP on one of the partitions. For some strange reason, the XP installation cannot sense my HD, why is this? === SSJ is now known as SSJ_GZ [19:13] do you have a sata disc ? [19:13] then xp needs sata drivers ;) [19:14] Jasmin_: did you do: kwin --replace from alt-f2 or in Konsole or from ctrl-alt-f1 ? [19:14] strangelet: I had a problem where vista couldnt find my HDD too.. then I remember I'd removed to from my laptop so it didnt interfere with the USB drive install :D [19:15] genii any other idea maybe [19:15] Dioxinx: Sorry, I didn't understand that second sentence, could you pelase rephrase that? [19:15] vista couldnt find my hdd... it was sitting on my desk [19:15] mrbrdo_: Do you have some link to the previous exercise you did which needed something from compiz? [19:16] unattached [19:16] mrbrdo_: It may provide some clues to the problem [19:16] Dioxinx: which is the ideal state for a hard drive, when vista is around. [19:16] genii: i only followed the wiki, but i got an error, that's why i installed compiz, not because a guide told me so [19:16] genii: but it did fix the problem [19:16] Dioxinx: Your HD was detached? It external? [19:16] screwed in is pretty useful [19:17] I unscrewed it REMOVED IT and forgot to put it back [19:17] genii: i did that but its not working i mean nothing happen on the screen [19:17] genii: like, when you tell ati binary to create deb packages, it makes one for the driver and one for the Xorg module.. the Xorg module was complaining because it didn't find something compiz-related, and when i installed it, then that package installed too [19:17] well I found it funny :D [19:17] Jasmin_: kde4's kwin is so much easier ;) [19:18] can anyone tell me how to start the gui from command prompt? [19:18] Dioxinx: startx [19:18] Jasmin_: Did the program ccsm run? [19:18] cheers Jel [19:18] startx or /etc/init.d/kdm start === _root is now known as emetux [19:18] with sudo the second ;) [19:19] I need to mount a server dns, you help me [19:19] depends Emetux is she hot? [19:19] mrbrdo_: Do you happen to recall what compiz-related thing it was asking for? [19:19] lol [19:20] genii: no sorry, not really.. it was something in /etc/xdm i think [19:20] catch you guys later before I get kicked out for bad humour [19:20] a conf file i guess, but i can't remember exactly [19:21] i'm not sure that it is a problem if you have compiz installed though, although i have no idea what the problem could be here [19:22] Jasmin_: Did the program ccsm run? === TimS|Away is now known as TimS [19:25] genii: hello [19:28] genii: i did alt+f2 n kwin --replace command but its now working [19:31] plz any one help me [19:34] how do i see effect on my kubuntu [19:35] check the ccsm for key bindings ;) [19:36] I have my HD divided into seperate partitions, I am attempting to install Windows XP on one of the partitions. For some strange reason, the XP installation cannot sense my HD, why is this? [19:37] jasmin__: If the: alt-f2 then: compiz --replace works then compiz runs fine. You just need to know what combinations of keys or mouse do what. For this you should go ask in the channel #compiz-fusion however [19:37] maybe it's a sata-disk and an old xp disk [19:37] Strangelet: if it's SATA you need XP SP2, but this is the wrong channel to discuss this in. [19:37] mrbrdo_: xdm ?? [19:38] SlimeyPete: Hm, where should I bring my problem to then? [19:38] genii: ok thanks [19:38] I wonder if there's a Windows channel [19:38] !windows [19:38] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [19:39] yeah, ##windows :) [19:39] genii: i don't know what it is, maybe it was something else but it started with x and had 3 letters [19:40] genii: i found some references to AIGLX in my xorg logs, but AIGLX doesn't work for my card [19:40] i only installed server-xgl, why is aiglx showing up? [19:41] genii: i see here that it was built into xorg... nevermind then i guess.. how can i be sure that server-xgl is running? [19:46] Hello @ all! [19:49] mrbrdo_: Can you pastebin your original xorg.conf for examination? [19:49] yes wait a bit [19:50] mrbrdo_: Sorry for lag, work keeps needing me here and there for a few minutes or so at a time. But I'm not going anywhere. [19:51] ok cool [19:56] does Dolphin not have a tree view? wtf? [19:57] Arwen: You don't need it. Hold the button down on the breadcrumbs. [19:57] ??? [19:57] English please. [19:58] That was english, you're just not familiar with dolphin yet :) [19:58] well, explain [19:58] Where the address bar would normally be, there are folder names, right? So if you hold the button down on a parent folder, it'll popup a menu showing all the other folders at that level [19:58] look for some dots [19:59] jel, cool. I still want a tree view [19:59] Arwen: then that's why they kept konqueror around. [19:59] GAH [19:59] #ubuntu [20:06] Is there a way to get disk I/O information in a display similar to top? [20:11] Hmm. Why does man 4 mouse give me the pinouts for a serial mouse instead of the xorg driver stuff? [20:13] qemu vs vmware... can't make up my mind since i've only used vmware briefly on windows... any thoughts? Pros/Cons? [20:13] Is it just me or does the MSN messenger in Kopete pick and choose which people to add? [20:13] It won't remember the contacts that I add. Any suggestions for this issue? [20:15] genii: i followed the tutorial here now, installing the repo (hardy) drivers: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [20:15] jel: man mousedrv [20:15] genii: now i get into X and it works, but i have excessive tearing and using the MESA drivers not fglrx [20:15] modprobe fglrx says FATAL while loading [20:16] awen_: ahh, thanks :) [20:16] even though i installed sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [20:17] val0: they both seem to work great... started using vmware, but switched to qemu as vmware doesn't work on hardy [20:17] val0➜ qemu is a bit more difficult to setup, but you can do more with it, like real 386 emulation. You can run OS/2 in qemu but not the others, because the others don't want to implement the rarely used cpu features. [20:17] <`Zmax`> does kvirc is in some meta-package? [20:17] mrbrdo_: Hmm. Try commenting out any xgl section in xorg.conf if it exists [20:17] genii: the most noticable error i get is "atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized." [20:17] If I were to uninstall Kopete, will I lose my chat logs? [20:18] val0: i rather like qemu now... especially the compressed drive files and the advanced networking [20:18] mrbrdo_: There is a section in that wiki that has futher instgructions on if dri issues [20:18] which wiki, ubuntus? [20:19] nothing about xgl in the conf file [20:20] the cchtml one [20:21] draik: no [20:21] draik: but they won't be available to some other chat program, most likely. [20:22] jel: I thought that maybe a reinstall may work/help. [20:23] ok, i have a program that looks for a http header from a certain site on the internet, this header has changed so the program no longer works, i want to know if theirs a way i can fake this header? [20:23] draik: very much doubt it. Deleting your kopete config might help, but I doubt that too (less :). If you DO want to reinstall stuff, you can just do apt-get install --reinstall packagename [20:23] jel: Thank you. === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [20:24] hi, Im running 7.10, I think I'm having some sort of a problem with xine but I'm not sure. All my videos are playing with audio but the video is jumbled. Could anyone help me? [20:25] happens with both mplayer and xine, just tried both engines [20:25] awen_: cool, thanks, what about the ease of use? Vmware is a breeze to use, plus you can save your machines/servers and instantly reload in case of a crash [20:27] val0: it takes a bit more to setup; but you can restore/reload fine with qemu... and you can make a base system and make a new disk from this which only takes the space of the difference; great for multiple instances of the same OS [20:28] a question: did anywone tried the new KDE 4? [20:28] awen_: would you say that it can be suggested as a replacement to vmware in a production enviornment? [20:29] val0: haven't tried it in a production environment... but it seems fit; haven't found any problems while using it [20:30] val0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo ... and definately have a look at the advanced networking part [20:30] the video doesn't change, I just get some multicolored lines (usually purple/green/blue) that just sit there [20:30] if someone could help me with this I'd be most grateful [20:30] awen_: thanks will do [20:31] hi there ! [20:31] i installed xorg-driver-fglrx and lsmod | grep fglrx displays nothing.. i followed all steps in http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting (No 3D acceleration) but it didn't help [20:32] does someone have an idea why kicker doesn't launch automaticaly at startup ? [20:32] genii: u have any idea maybe? [20:32] mrbrdo_: you should use the restriscted manager to install fglrx [20:33] how? [20:33] i installed also linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [20:33] mrbrdo_: by launching it [20:33] should i uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx now? [20:34] I don't know yes perhaps [20:34] I don't use any tricks with the console now because there is a graphical tool for installing restricted drivers [20:35] !softwareraid [20:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about softwareraid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:35] I'm running 7.10 and video playback doesnt work for any video files, any format, any engine. I can't remember changing anything, this started today. Can anyone help me figure this out? [20:35] you need linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager-kde [20:35] Phoenix is 3d effects enable ? [20:36] !fakeraid [20:36] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:36] ktulu77: I don't know, where would I check that? I don't remember enabling it. You mean compiz/beryl? [20:36] I don't have compiz/beryl installed, removed it so I could get dualhead setup to work properly [20:36] this is so bizarre...worked fine yesterday... [20:37] hola [20:37] Phoenix bizarre ? [20:37] holas necesito ayuda [20:37] Phoenix francais ?? [20:37] it just seems like nothing changed, yet this problem started so something must have [20:37] nope, don't speak french [20:37] spanish? [20:37] Phoenix you tried with mplayer or vlc ? [20:37] ktulu: have tried both [20:37] august_: un poquito [20:38] doesn't seem to be working for anything [20:38] juacommmm [20:38] jajja [20:38] Phoenix in a console ? is there any error messages ? [20:38] august_:(Y) [20:38] join #kubuntues [20:38] ktulu77: none [20:38] no conoses a nadie q sepa [20:39] i installed using restricted-manager (fglrx) but still it does not work [20:39] Phoenix and what the video looks like ? [20:39] como ago para encontrar otras saalas? [20:39] mira el msn -.-' [20:40] mrbrdo_: what does the restricted manager says ? "you need restricted drivers" or something like that ? [20:40] ktulu77: blue/purple/green lines that dont change or move [20:40] Phoenix ouille [20:40] ouille? [20:40] Phoenix I had this problem but I had compiz enabled [20:41] Phoenix do you use restricted drivers ? [20:41] maybe I installed soething for it... [20:41] crap.. [20:41] what is your video card ? [20:41] I use the nvidia restricted drivers but I've had those installed from the beginning [20:41] ktulu77 no nothing [20:41] hello [20:41] ktulu77 it installed the ati driver [20:41] and now modprobe fglrx says no error [20:42] sudo /join kubuntu-es [20:42] but i still have MESA and no 3D [20:42] mrbrdo_: you see your ati video card with lspci ? [20:42] yes [20:42] how can i test my video-card driver?? [20:42] Phoenix perhaps you should try with the vesa driver in xorg :( to see if the problem is the videocard [20:43] is flash fixed yet? [20:43] niall_: flash ? the plugin for linux works well [20:43] ktulu77: I'll give it a shot I guess [20:44] ktulu77 i get this error all the time in xorg log: http://pastebin.com/m450d50cc [20:44] I dont understand how that could do it though. I haven't changed the driver and this just started today [20:44] Phoenix this kind of problem (green lines etc) is most of time a hardware or driver problem I suppose [20:44] thanks [20:44] I'll try it [20:45] phoenixz: I don't know anymore how to use ati video cards [20:45] ktulu77 a little more actually, 2 lines before that if it helps: http://pastebin.com/m430a924f [20:45] mrbrdo_: perhaps the package you installed broke the xorg.conf [20:46] no i copied over the old one and did aticonfig [20:46] how do I install flash to work in konquerer? [20:46] mrbrdo_: you are not on 7.10 [20:46] no i'm on hardy [20:46] kubuntu hardy.. [20:46] niall_: it should work automatically no ? there is an option for plugins in konqueror [20:46] mrbrdo_: ohhh okkk !! [20:46] well i must go.. if you have any idea, please tell me on private message. thanks [20:47] * mrbrdo_ is away [20:47] mrbrdo_: so I can't do anything it is a dev version so it is normal if there are problems [20:47] for flash i use firefox [20:47] !away > mrbrdo_ [20:47] flash plugin works well with konqueror [20:47] ! away > mrbrdo_ [20:47] ikonia: beat you to it [20:47] davies: so you did, apologies [20:47] I can't see any flash stuff :/ [20:48] ktulu77: I don't think it does work with konq at th emoment [20:48] niall_: you watched in "configuration" ?? [20:48] ikonia: let me try [20:48] Could anyone suggest a program that can edit ISOs? [20:48] ktulu77 > i tried to download flashplugins but adobe site told me that i needed mozilla,opera to download them [20:48] youtube works fine with konqueror [20:49] eu: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [20:49] eu: don't download stuff from sites [20:49] go to "configuration -> external modules" or something like that [20:49] jel > eheh...i'm a bit newbie =P [20:49] here you can specify to search external modules in firefox plugins directory [20:49] ktulu77: depends what version of the flash plugin you have [20:50] ikonia: I have the one for kubuntu [20:50] in the repository [20:50] guys I tried to load up startx and it gave me a load of stuff saying no window blah blah, how can I change setting from command prompt [20:50] I guess [20:50] ktulu77: when did you install it [20:50] wow I don't remember [20:50] ktulu77: say longer than 8 weeks ago [20:50] when 7.10 was out [20:50] ktulu77: and that's why it works [20:50] ktulu77: they have changed the plugin scince [20:51] the old one is not availale [20:51] they haved change the plugin ? [20:51] jel > downloaded with apt-get install =P [20:51] ktulu77: yes [20:51] Oh I remember I had a problem when I installed ubuntu on a friend computer [20:51] !flash | ktulu77 [20:51] eu: OK, well done :) Now open konqueror, go to settings, then configure plugins, then plugins. Choose rescan plugins. [20:51] It could downloaded [20:51] could not [20:52] ktulu77: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:52] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [20:52] but I think it has been fixed since that, is not it ? [20:52] nope [20:52] ikonia: hm ok I understand, but this not a konqueror problem [20:52] !startx > Dioxin [20:52] ktulu77: no, it's a flash issue [20:53] you can download the flashplugin on adobe website and use it for konqueror or firefox [20:53] i have 2 questions...can i? [20:53] ktulu77: no you can't [20:53] oO [20:53] ktulu77: adobe has changed the plugin [20:53] ktulu77: it will only work with firefox [20:53] no ...adobe's plugin does not work on konqueror [20:53] noob question: if i install kubuntu on a xp machine will the installer give me the option for a dual boot? or will i need to do the whole lilo thing.. [20:53] hm oky ! [20:53] is there a way to clear the printer spool in Ubuntu? I have 16 pages waiting to print and no printer hooked up [20:54] well it works well here so I don't touch anything :D [20:54] ktulu77: very wise [20:54] i've installed superkaramba with adept and the question is....where can i find it? °_° [20:54] then, can someone know what file I need to "reinitialize" to have kicker launched on startup ? [20:54] Could anyone suggest a program that can edit ISOs? [20:54] I thought it didn't work [20:54] hello, general question, my computer won't post unless i press the reset key each time after i press the power on button, what could be the problem? i just recently installed kubuntu [20:55] I have installed "the tweaker" for kde but now i have problems [20:55] I used to have a little icon up near my clock, for my printer que, for some reason I set it not to display there, how can I get that back? [20:55] toens: Depends how you partition your hdd. [20:55] how stupid i am ...i found karamba ! -.- [20:55] Traveler4 : your hardware is screwy clean the box check the wires and try again [20:55] anyone? [20:55] I can't choose when I clic on disconnect to change user or else [20:56] toens: If you do a guided partition, you should be fine [20:56] hi guys anyone know how i can unlock adept? [20:56] toens: saying anyone means nothing [20:56] cheesypieces: rm /var/lock/adept/*.lock, or something like that. Look for a lock file for adept under /var/lock, anyway. [20:56] Odd-rationale, thanks [20:56] !adept fix | cheesypieces [20:56] cheesypieces: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [20:57] Dioxin o thanks alot, i should do that, do u also know a chatroom for hardware around here, i guess my question wasn't diretly kubuntu related then since at first i thought it might be i installed something wrong [20:57] jel: killall synaptic or others programs that uses the deb [20:57] toens: best thing you can do is try it... if you screw up the windows MBR you can recover it from xp disks [20:57] ikonia, it re-iterates that i have a question pending :) [20:57] toens: BTW, ubuntu uses GRUB by default, not LILO. [20:57] toens: no - people will answer if they saw the question, if they didn't "anyone" tells them nothing about your question [20:58] Traveler4: all hardware is different grab the motherboard manual read it and check to make sure everything is secure [20:58] ktulu77: that's a bit optimistic :) Probably works well for synaptic, but when the command line tools crash and leave locks, they need manual cleaning, afaik [20:59] toens: to recover xp if it goes wrong boot from the xp disk, repair install, go to command prompt and enter bootrec /fixmbr [20:59] but GRUB should be able to work its magic for a dual boot [21:00] anyone know how I can configure display settings from shell? startx fails due to display issues [21:00] ok, ta [21:01] Dioxin: Have you tried reconfiguring your x server?

When I run a certain java app in gnome it looks great, then when I run in kde it defaults to old-school java look-n-feel stuff. Anyone got any ideas? [21:12] Schuenemann: Hi :) [21:13] genii, still remember that font problem with gtk apps? [21:14] Schuenemann: Vaguely [21:14] flithm: it's probably an environment variable :) [21:14] genii, oh, well... nothing new about it [21:15] jel: yeah? any idea which one it might be? [21:15] flithm, when I ran them in the past they were just like KDE's [21:15] Schuenemann: yeah I haven't had an issue till now either [21:16] flithm, what is old school java etc? [21:16] Schuenemann: metal, I guess :) [21:17] they are looking like swing? [21:17] The one before that was... AWT,right?

[22:13] hari➜ edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to boot from the image on your new partition. You can change the UUID to the UUID of the new partition. [22:13] i just install kde4 and now aptitude is trying to literally remove every package on my computer. gdm won't start. It started with gdm starting, and me trying to load kde4 and gdm would just restart, but then i tried to load gnome once again and then gdm just stopped working [22:13] suffice it to say everything is messed up [22:13] hello here i m again [22:13] hari➜ to find a partitions unique universal identification number, you can use blkid. example, blkid /dev/sda2 [22:14] i didnt get it solved [22:14] Impiety: Try #kubuntu-kde4 [22:14] Odd-rationale: thanks, I'll try it out [22:14] Arwen: ? [22:14] yes? [22:15] i ve done like you have describe JEL and g2g591 [22:15] Impiety: you need to be careful with aptitude, and pay attention to the screen you get that shows what it's about to do. Sometimes it takes the head-staggers and gets the wrong idea about the best way to upgrade things. You can manually make sure it's OK, but it's slow and annoying. apt-get upgrade is easier sometimes. [22:15] Arwen: -subfont-osd-scale... what do that mean? [22:15] OtO: including the bullet proof x thing? [22:15] batis610, it's a parameter that you pass to MPlayer on the command line [22:15] !terminal [22:15] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[22:17] OtO: I'll look it up again, hold on a sec. [22:17] one more question does moving kubuntu to a new partition affect its configurations in any way? [22:19] OtO: before I mislead you... are you getting any messages explaining that the screen isn't running at proper resolution? Bulletproof X would be doing that, I think. [22:19] ah, sorry about that. btw, whoever said the thing about aptitude was right, somehow I just typed apt-get upgrade and now it's not retarded [22:19] the resolution is alright is set to 1280x1024 what i like to have [22:20] how do you switch channel selections in bitchx?

[22:23] Dioxin➜ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (make a backup of a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf when you get one) [22:23] alright no more bitchx [22:24] jel: cause i'm m job i use to have the root password, but now i forgot it, and i've created 2 users, and one of then is unnecessary now. [22:24] didnt work subtrnl [22:24] hari➜ grub is install in the mbr of a drive, not a partition [22:24] jel:i've created those 2 users when i used to have the root psswd [22:25] artur_: if you don't have the root password and can't recover it, then you're not authorised to mess with accounts. [22:25] jel: the problem is the letters are to big (3cm big) and dialog (windows 4 times bigger than my monitor ) . [22:25] [22:26] ok but menu.lst is on a partition right so whatever changes i make will be lost when i delete that paratition am i thinking right? [22:26] OtO: that definitely sounds like your resolution is wrong. Read /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and see what it says is going wrong. [22:27] Hello [22:27] jel:ok. thanks [22:27] How do I upgrade my kernel? [22:27] What is the best way to install kubuntu through internet [22:27] jel: yes, i'm ,the pc the i'm using is only mine, is not a server, if something wrong happens there only me will affected [22:27] nzk: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && reboot :) [22:28] artur_: then you can get the root password back, and delete any accounts you don't need. [22:28] I thought it was harder than that. [22:28] Seems too easy. [22:28] Is there a more difficult way to do it? [22:28] nzk: welcome to debian-based distros :) [22:29] nzk: plenty :D [22:29] I've been using them for a year and a half. [22:29] no one ? [22:29] jel: the problem is that now i'm in another city in vacation, and if i were there i'd use a live cd to recover the psswd, or to change it. [22:29] artur_: You lost your root pass? [22:29] So you have a user with sudo permission? [22:29] nzk: you can use aptitude or synaptic or adept to pick the exact kernel. But it should have linux-image-2.6 picked, which is an alias for the latest 2.6 kernel, and so it auto-upgrades [22:30] xerxes1358, what do you mean exactly? [22:30] xerxes1358, you'd download the ISO file, burn that on a CD, install it.. [22:30] I want to give linux (kubuntu) a try. [22:30] artur_: then sip some wine, and fix it when you return ;) [22:30] xerxes1358, then you can add LOADS of software through adept manager [22:30] xerxes1358, well, download the live CD [22:30] Cant Install this via internet ? I have a 100 mbit line [22:31] xerxes1358, you can boot from it and try linux without touching your current installation [22:31] nzk: i'm accessing one account with ssh......... I guess not cause when i use sudo it asks for the root passwd [22:31] xerxes1358, well, you install the extra software over the internet yeah [22:31] artur_: What kind of processor does it have? [22:31] xerxes1358, you'd need to download *something* to install, not? [22:31] xerxes1358, like I said.. try the live CD.. [22:32] xerxes1358: it'll install the basics from the CD, then you can reboot into kubuntu and update or install many more CDs worth of the latest software. [22:32] xerxes1358, you can try it without installing.. if you like it, there is an install option on that live CD that will install kubuntu for you [22:32] nzk: i'm not sure about it, but i think it is AMD [22:32] xerxes1358: over the net, I mean [22:32] artur_: I mean is it a relatively fast processor? [22:32] xerxes1358, the installer will even be nice enough to move / resize windows partitions to create space to install kubuntu, after which it will place a boot menu to assure you can boot either windows or kubuntu [22:32] I'm currently on Gnome, but I think I want to switch to Kde. Last time I tried on my Asus-laptop, I had problems getting my media keys to work. Where can I get help to fix stuff like that? [22:33] i thought about use a exploit...as i have access to the machine as another user...maybe a local exploit [22:33] Ayabara: good choice :) [22:33] phoenixz, Ok I am done downloading the ubuntu cd [22:33] argh.. i don't know what to do anymore.. i have an ati card and want to play games and have a 3d desktop.. with open driver, i cannot play games.. with the old fglrx driver, i have to use xgl, which disables my super key, messes with the math operator buttons on my keyboard, and is full of other quirks.. and with the new catalyst drivers, all of my xgl woes are gone, but i experience random freezing and system lock ups.... do i just [22:33] go buy a nvidia card, or what? [22:33] xerxes1358, any extra software you want to install can be done over the internet without any separate downloading with apt-get or adept manager [22:33] artur_: If it was a fast computer you could brute the root pass. [22:33] nzk: no, it is a very old machine [22:33] Nevermind then. [22:33] phoenixz, wait a sec bro. Just buring cd [22:33] xerxes1358, live CD or normal installer? Id definately recommend the first [22:33] brb [22:33] nzk: bruto the root pass? how do i? [22:34] Install a program called "john" [22:34] xerxes1358, 100Mbit line huh? :( [22:34] And run 'john /etc/shadow' [22:34] phoenixz, I downloaded from local ftp [22:34] jel: I think so too, but for me it has always been easier to get my laptops (dell and asus) up and running with Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu. [22:34] It'll take a few days, maybe weeks, maybe years. [22:34] not sure checking right now [22:34] phoenixz, [22:34] nzk➜ keep that stuff in pm's please [22:34] nzk:so this john will brute the psswd [22:34] vlc still running i can hear song and i see no window... how to stop it [22:34] Alright. Off to PM! [22:35] phoenixz, its says ubuntu 7.10 [22:35] xerxes1358, it should say something "live" [22:35] Ayabara: that's more of a distro thing, I suppose... Kubuntu isn't focused on quite as much as Ubuntu, and so GNOME auto-configures a bit more. But it's not to say that GNOME itself is better than KDE. I'd say quite the opposite. [22:36] xerxes1358, where are you located? [22:36] xerxes1358, so that I can send you a correct link..

Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [22:38] xerxes1358, keep it english please [22:38] does that come with the new KDE 4 ? [22:38] xerxes1358: hallo en welkom. [22:38] hi there :) too [22:38] xerxes1358, yeah, you have to add an extra repository (like a remote database where you install softwware from) to use it [22:39] jel: I think I agree, but things like the media keys, it's not really self-explaining how to fix a problem like that. and googling hasn't gotten me anywhere, since I can't find other users with my laptop model [22:39] so [22:39] soon giving it a new try though :-) [22:39] phoenixz, I cant use this cd to install ? [22:39] xerxes1358, but, I would recommend against using it as your desktop for the moment.. its REALLY promissing and in like 2 more months it will kick ass but for now, its not stable enough [22:39] xerxes1358, yeah, you can use any CD.. its just that the live CD\s are a bit easier [22:39] hey folks, for some reason, the kde-guidance-powermanager applet is showing that i have two batteries... and as such doesn't ever know when im low or out of battery [22:39] xerxes1358, http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/ [22:40] phoenixz, Its a waste of cds [22:40] xerxes1358, take one that says "desktop" [22:40] I prefer using this one if it is possible and too difficultg [22:40] xerxes1358, and depending on what you have, i386 or amd [22:40] -g [22:40] i386 [22:40] xerxes1358, already burnt it? [22:40] Yes [22:40] xerxes1358, I'm not stopping you :) its NOT difficult at all.. [22:40] xerxes1358, its more like.. easy or easier [22:40] Ok so what do I do? [22:41] start cd [22:41] grr...no one in kubuntu-kde4 is responding [22:41] Just toss in the CD and boot from the CD drive [22:41] impiety, sh*thappens.. [22:41] phoenixz, yes indeed, i'm just impatient because this is pissing me off [22:42] anyway, is this the channel to visit if I need help getting media keys on a laptop working on Kubuntu/KDE? it's a distro-thing that they do not work out of the box, right? [22:42] oh well, i'll just keep trying and trying and figure it out [22:42] xerxes1358, desktop CD's can run without installing.. thats like the "easier" part on it, and the installer is graphical.. IIRC, the normal installer is textmode (not sure though) [22:42] impiety, *what* is your problem? [22:42] impiety, meant as in, what is your question? [22:42] phoenixz, ok you know what. Let me just boot the cd and see what happens [22:42] impiety, if you need an answer it usually helps when you ask your question... [22:42] phoenixz, stick around though I may be needing more help brb (I hope :) ) [22:43] xerxes1358, with any problem, I'd recommend the desktop CD.. :) in any case, you can always return here for assistance [22:43] xerxes1358, I'll be here, but since I got a datacenter job, I might be away from time to time [22:44] phoenixz, I was told to go to the kde4 channel. but, okay. I installed kde4, and when I try to start it it restarts X. Gnome is restarting X too, I ran failsafe gnome and that works. Also aptitude appears to be trying to remove everything if i use it to upgrade [22:44] apt on the other hand does not [22:44] help me [22:44] ionus, with what? [22:44] libpython2.5.so [22:45] impiety, again, WHAT is your problem? [22:45] impiety, Im trying to help you here but you're not helping yourself like this.. [22:45] i cant go in display setings [22:45] kde4 won't start [22:45] would it be a good idea to set an automatic schedule for apt-get update + apt-get upgrade ? [22:45] it just restarts X [22:45] yes [22:45] kde4 = beta [22:45] are there any disadvantages to having both kde and gnome installed? other than that I get a lot of packages installed [22:45] motanel: I'd suggest not [22:46] impiety, ahah.. got that one before [22:46] motanel: you should be aware of what is being updated and installed [22:46] use "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" [22:46] just in case anything goes wrong [22:46] !aptfix | impiety [22:46] impiety: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [22:46] but becareful updating things [22:46] you will have a good idea of where to start [22:46] oh, good point, thanks, hydrogen [22:46] yep, agree hydrogen [22:46] ionus, why nont? you cant find the program? the program crashes? [22:46] well, kubuntu, i'm happy to say that i finally found a distro that fits me [22:46] impiety, got that one? [22:47] and i can run mirc with wine :P [22:47] yeah [22:47] motanel, and which one would that be? :P [22:47] mot [22:47] i cant go to display setings [22:47] thanks, i'll try it [22:47] motanel, mirc? argh.. [22:47] motanel: what size are you using :P [22:47] ionus, but why exactly not? you can not find it in the menu or something? [22:47] mirc? ewwwww [22:47] impiety, you're welcome.. [22:47] library files for "libpython2.5.so" not found in patch [22:48] impiety, when that one is finished, you can try again.. apt-get is a great utility.. I figure you were using adept-manager when you got this problem? adept is also great but.. a bit instable still [22:48] Ayabara: as far as I know, you just install kmilo, and set it up in the system settings. Might need to make sure your keyboard type is set right in X first. [22:48] phoenixz, i was using aptitude [22:48] ionus, thats an error you get? [22:48] library files for "libpython2.5.so" not found in patch [22:48] KDE 4 is really nice :) Kopete finally recognises my webcam too :) [22:49] jel: I'll try it out, but I doubt it's the last time you see me here ;-) [22:49] impiety, yeah, adept can cause problems like this every now and then and even kill off X.. its anoying but.. shit sometimes happens.. The fix was there (use !aptfix in here if you ever need it again) [22:49] :) [22:49] does gdm and kde4 not work together [22:49] during your las kde upgrade an orphaned control module [22:49] impiety, gdm is gnome.. kde4 is kde4.. [22:49] * jel prefers the "use synaptic" or "use aptitude" fixes :) [22:49] dsmith: what do you mean what size? [22:49] well, i know, but i hate kdm, it's ugly [22:49] ionus, sounds like your install is damaged somehow [22:50] and gdm shows kde4 in it's choices, but it just restarts, ohw ell, i'll try kdm [22:50] 5/quit [22:50] impiety: it has themes, just like gdm [22:50] ionus, look for that EXACT error on google if there is any solution available on the internet [22:50] ok [22:50] yeah, but it's different. I just really like gdm...I don't really know why, oh well, i'm installing kdm [22:50] impiety, they should work well together [22:50] impiety, window manager religion.. :P [22:50] yeah [22:52] hum gnome doesn't load either. it must have something to do with the startup scripts [22:52] weird [22:53] should I use gdm or kdm if I have both gnome and kde? [22:54] Ayabara: doesn't matter really. Loading GDM for a KDE session (and vice versa) will use more memory, so choose the display manager matching whichever desktop you'll use most [22:54] impiety, you mean that kde nor gnome is starting up? [22:55] impiety, what jel says here above! [22:55] impiety: check your ~/.xsession-errors. I ended up just hacking my Xsession to run startkde :) [22:55] phoenixz, yeah, I know...I can't find where kdm-kde4 was installed so I can use it as the default [22:55] oooo [22:55] jel: thanks [22:56] guys I'm having a problem with Xserver... it wont find any screens... nor my display device, I've tried the autodetect and settings wizards, whats the next step? [22:56] ohhh [22:56] it's gtk === AndrewB is now known as notAndrewB [22:57] Hello again [22:57] phoenixz: back :) [22:57] jel: how do i hack Xsession to dothat? [22:57] the desktop is bigger than the screen, and when i move the mouse to the edge of the screen, the desktop scrolls. how can i stop that? [22:58] ...btw, is this the n00b channel for folks like me? :) [22:58] sure [22:59] xerxes1358, and? [22:59] xerxes1358, any problems? [22:59] is it worth going to 64bit [22:59] phoenixz: I am in a livesession [22:59] tyson_, you tell me.. [22:59] xerxes1358, so you did get the live CD? :) [22:59] tyson_➜ you need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and remove the Virtual line from it. [23:00] thanks mate [23:00] xerxes1358, in that case, you enjoy how a real operating system should be installed.. you install while you are chatting on IRC and check your mail ;) [23:00] phoenixz: and drink coffee [23:00] sub[t]rnl, isnt that like the "hard way" to do that" [23:00] :D [23:00] xerxes1358, better be quick about it, the install is that too.. :P [23:00] xerxes1358, just one hint [23:00] phoenixz➜ not sure how it could get easier === notAndrewB is now known as AndrewB [23:01] sub[t]rnl, modifying your xorg.conf file easy??? [23:01] editing a linux config file? [23:01] heh, that should be common place [23:01] !64bit [23:01] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [23:01] xerxes1358, when you do the install, there is an option somewhere (I belive its an advanced option) that will check some remote repositories.. make sure its NOT checked, or your install might hang for like 5 minutes if the servers are not available (happens quite often).. its not a big problem, more an anoyance [23:02] sub[t]rnl, for you and me yeah.. not for the grass green noobs.. there should also be a GUI thing where they can do that [23:03] phoenixz: do you know how to install metacity ? [23:04] metacity is the window manager for gnome [23:04] phoenixz➜ seemed easy enough for him didn't it? [23:05] xerxes1358, one sec please, on phone [23:05] help me [23:06] i cant see display setings in control menu [23:06] sure [23:06] !display [23:06] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [23:06] sub[t]rnl, okay, but that was not the point.. :) What if it would have been my mom? I can not even imagine here checking the xorg.conf [23:06] xerxes1358, metacity.. I think thats gnome, is it not? [23:06] Yes it is [23:07] my title bars look huge [23:07] xerxes1358, youre using KDE now.. you don't need metacity.. [23:07] maybe it is not relevant since I will install KDE 4 anyways [23:07] I am using gnome [23:07] phoenixz: the live cd uses gnome [23:07] xerxes1358, I would wait with the KDE4 thing for a minute... or a month : [23:07] xerxes1358, ah, okay.. well, first thing to decide is.. you want gnome or kde [23:08] kde 5 [23:08] :D [23:08] kde 4 [23:08] xerxes1358, I'd recommend KDE if you're a bit an advanced user.. if youre a noob, maybe gnome is better [23:08] lets go gnome [23:08] no no [23:08] KDE is fine [23:08] argg [23:08] KDE :) [23:08] xerxes1358, and KDE4 is released but far from stable.. its nice to play with but don't use it as your production system just yet [23:08] how to put all default setings ? [23:08] phoenixz: exactly how unstable is it? [23:09] !default [23:09] ionus: Reinstall ;) [23:09] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [23:09] :( [23:09] ionus➜ mv .kde/ .kde-old [23:09] ionus: JK. Exactly waht do you want to do? [23:09] xerxes1358, 10 crashes or problems in 5 minutes unstable.. Depends ofcourse on your computer, what graphics card and driver youre using, etc... [23:10] how to put all default setings in system setings [23:10] Odd-rationale, what sub[t]rnl say's.. :) [23:10] ionus: did you mess up something? [23:10] what? [23:10] phoenixz: sub[t]rnl like reintalls? [23:11] * hydrogen hasn't had a crash in kde4 in weeks [23:11] phoenixz: how about installing both and check them out ? [23:11] Odd-rationale, no, you don't need to reinstall, just move the .kde directory back.. [23:11] xerxes1358, sure, why not? you got linux, you got choice if you want.. :P [23:12] ionus: What is wrong with your current install? Why do you need/want to reset every thing? [23:13] becose i cant see dysplay setings & more in system setings [23:13] phoenixz: Yes, that might help. [23:13] hydrogen: I think my global shortcut keys crashed today. But yes, generally, it's suprisingly complete :) [23:13] how to put it back [23:13] ? === asgilbert is now known as powerpleb [23:14] Odd-rationale how to put it back [23:14] ionus: they should be there, unless you've uninstalled packages that contain them? [23:14] Hi, folks. Okay, I've got a few minutes to try and solve my sound woes today... Has anyone ever seen a situation where a computer (Thinkpad T61 in this case) doesn't work properly with the volume control wossname on the screen? [23:15] yes but how tu install pkg back [23:15] wad: sure. [23:15] wad: it's resolved in the latest code. [23:15] crimsun: Great! Did you solve the problem? [23:15] "doesn't work properly"? [23:15] ionus: You can try what sub[t]rnl suggested. [23:15] Then logout and back in [23:15] The volume control doesn't do anything whatsoever to change the sound volume. [23:15] crimsun, so it's a known issue. Is there a bug number, sort of thing? [23:16] I just did an "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" but it didn't find anything new. [23:16] witch pkg i need to install [23:16] * wad is new to Kubuntu [23:16] wad: various. Did you install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) ? [23:16] Nope. [23:17] ionus: try just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:17] Should I? [23:17] wad: yes. [23:17] ok [23:17] jel ok [23:17] jel: then I'm in kubuntu :-), could you repeat what you said about kmilo and stuff? [23:17] What does that do, by the way? [23:17] my media keys still don't work [23:17] ionus: try moving your ~/.kde folder somewhere else ( like the trash bin so you can restore it if nesc. [23:17] then logou. [23:17] t [23:17] ok [23:18] hey guys... I'm running Kubuntu 7.1 and in Adept Manager I just installed the ubuntu-desktop package... will this now mean I can choose to run GNOME at login... or have I screwed up my install? [23:18] If that doesn't work, then you might have uninstalled something. [23:18] umm [23:18] powerpleb: you have to install gnome, not just ubuntu-desktop [23:19] Ayabara: OK, first of all, make sure your keyboard's normal keys are all doing what they should -- apostophe keys and hash keys and money symbols all type the right thing, etc. make sure kmilo is installed. Go to the system settings, and you'll find options for configuring the keys. You should be able to just choose functions, and press the keys you want them to be attached to. It's been a while since I looked at kmilo, so I can't remember exactly. [23:19] unless gnoem was a dependency [23:19] ubuntu-desktop will install gnome [23:19] Any Kubuntu users out there? [23:20] crimsun, "apt-cache show linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic" tells me "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed." I think I'll do that instead.... what do you think? [23:20] powerpleb: it should leave both on your system. [23:20] it looks as though it's installing gnome because in the mightu list of program being downloaded are a lot of gnome apps and libs [23:20] cheers that's what i want [23:20] powerpleb: then it shoudl work fine [23:20] darkstar: I am! [23:20] wad: however you want to get that package installed is fine. [23:21] ok now i see all in sys setings but i cant change something [23:21] Okay, cool. Thanks! [23:21] does anyone here run kubuntu on a hp laptop?

What I'm concerned about is that my root is on a linux software raid 1 partition. Does this complicate things? [23:23] someone help me [23:23] jel: do you mean in Regional & Language -> System Settings? [23:25] ionus: When do you get this error? when you start system settings? [23:25] Ayabara: no, it's more like keyboard and mouse or something like that. [23:26] then i go tu display setings [23:26] then i go to display setings [23:27] Odd-rationale u now how to corect this? [23:27] jel: ok.
