[00:02] kmess not showing what music im listen to no more,how to fix this? [00:07] Hi, really simple question here hopefully: I'm trying to install KDE 4 on Ubuntu 8.10 - looks like the way you're supposed to do that is through the kubuntu-desktop meta package, but when I try that, it conflicts with displayconfig-gtk and guidance-backends - I don't want to lose my nice automatic monitor set-up & detection under Gnome... what can I do? [00:09] hi all [00:10] anyone here use AWN manager ? [00:11] kmess not showing what music im listen to no more,how to fix this? [00:11] i want to change the settings but it show inactive [00:11] kmess(msn) not showing what music im listen to no more,how to fix this? [00:21] whenever I try to record an audio cd with k3b, I get an error when starting the second track: [00:22] Cdrecord has no permission to open the device [00:22] any ideas? [00:23] 0 dev='/dev/scd0' rwrw-- : 'MATSHITA' 'UJ-845D' [00:25] I tried to change the permissions of /dev/scd0 but they are reset each time i insert a new cd [00:29] help please? Kubuntu-desktop conflicts with displayconfig-gtk - what can I do??? [00:29] *sigh* the 180 beta nvidia driver did in fact fix the parts-of-my-screen-blanking when running eclipse bug... and of course it borked anti-aliasing [00:49] oscarinabox: hiya [00:50] hey [00:50] trying to get this network printer to work [00:50] and this wireless usb adapter [00:50] Ahhh Wireless! [00:50] * DaSkreech flees [00:51] !wifi | /me throws this at oscarinabox [00:51] /me throws this at oscarinabox: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:51] Curses :) [00:51] i dont think it detects this adapter [00:56] i need to upgrade open office to 3.0 [00:58] oscarinabox: No upgrade [00:58] Install yes. Upgrade No [01:01] hye, how was to install KDE3.x on kubuntu 8.10 ?? [01:01] there is an alternate repository for it right? [01:01] alesan: You can do it in a unsuppoted manner [01:01] I really need to go back to KDE I hate gnome [01:01] http://apt.pearsoncomputing.com [01:01] DaSkreech, thanks [01:01] alesan: Kubuntu provides KDE :) [01:02] DaSkreech, Address Not Found [01:02] hello. Odd one here. I have a DVD with both UDF and ISO sets (the new Wrath of the Litch King Expansion for World of Warcraft). Ubuntu auto mounted it as UDF (for mac). what filesystem am I looking to mount this on? [01:02] holla - can anyone help me w/ compiling the kernel on 8.04.1 [01:03] ? [01:03] i'm followin this guide [01:03] http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [01:03] DaSkreech, latest kubuntu provides a Vista-like thing, I want KDE3 :( [01:03] http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net [01:03] DaSkreech, the address you gave me is not correct... do you have a better one? [01:03] SilentDis: iso9660 [01:04] DaSkreech: i thought i tried that... let me give it another go... [01:04] chiefwigms: Why do you need to compile the kernel? [01:04] SilentDis: Oh wait. DVD. No DVD is UDF [01:04] i got a umpc that has an alps pointer and i wanna disable touch tapping [01:04] which can't be done via xorg.conf :( [01:04] DaSkreech: ahhh, thank you :) [01:05] chiefwigms: I really don't think that you need a new kernel for that [01:05] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg [01:05] Probably not. [01:05] guides said i needed to modify the alps.c file [01:05] Which guides? [01:06] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg [01:07] on a umpc forum [01:07] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/15/fixing-my-alps-touchpad-with-the-synaptics-driver/ [01:07] granted its old [01:07] but i tried that and it still doesn't work [01:09] does enybody have cedega? [01:10] Possibly. Is there another question? [01:10] ya i can`t make it work on mounted cd [01:14] How can I get VirtualBox to work with the new kernel? [01:15] draik: Install the vboxdrv [01:15] hello all, is there a way to stop a kernel module which is in use? [01:15] E: Couldn't find package vboxdrv [01:16] dresnu: modprobe -r [01:16] draik: man modprobe [01:16] I knew that [01:16] but it says error: module is in use [01:17] OK, i got it. the full command to get to the files is sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/cd_drive /media/whatever :) [01:17] dresnu: lsmod to see which module depends on it [01:17] apparently, they throw it into hidden, which windows ignores but mac (and linux) respects. [01:17] I want to stop usbcore, I have already stopped others that depend on it from lsmod at least [01:17] remove that module first [01:18] another thing to add to the bag 'o tricks. -o unhide. thanks all! [01:18] I need to stop usbcore, no other module that depends on it is running and I have nothing attached to a usb port [01:18] but still it doesn't let me remove it [01:27] on kde4 what happened to multiple time zones from the task bar time ? [01:30] I cent even figure out how to get the clock to be 12 hr format.. :) [01:35] is anybody else having some problems with fonts in qt3 applications in kde4? === _Dedi is now known as dedi_away === dedi_away is now known as Dedi [01:37] DaSkreech: [01:37] sudo modprobe vboxdrv [01:37] FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found. [01:38] reinstall the vbox module package? [01:39] Dr_willis: What's the name of the vbox module package again? [01:39] no idea :) lets see [01:39] !find virtualbox [01:40] * Dr_willis pokes the bot [01:40] Running "sudo invoke-rc.d dkms_autoinstaller start" shows vboxdrv failed [01:40] !botsnack [01:40] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [01:40] !find virtualbox [01:40] Freeloading bot... [01:41] virtualbox-ose - x86 virtualization solution - binaries [01:41] perhaps? [01:43] Installing virtualbox-ose removes virtualbox [01:44] Hmm.. [01:44] how did ya install virtualbox in the first place? [01:44] Hardy... don't recall [01:45] dident download/install the packages from the vbox homepage eh? you used the pacakge manager? [01:46] Sounds about right. [01:46] Right now, it won't launch [01:50] draik: then you need to go back to the site and get the new one [01:51] Ok [01:52] You dont recall going to the virtualbvox homepage and downloading a package from it? :) === vorian is now known as heHATEme [01:56] No :( [01:56] does anyone know how to let maximized windows cover the kicker on kde4? === heHATEme is now known as vorian [01:59] lucax: Install KDE 4.2 ? [02:00] yeah [02:09] oscarinabox: Got it? [02:10] my kicker is always on top! cant use fullscreen for watching movies or photos... any ideas wheres that option? [02:11] how do I edit the menu on Intrepid? I need to right-click to see the path of some items, why is this gone? [02:11] You mean 'on kde 4.xx' ? [02:11] wireless? [02:11] not yet [02:12] My wireless works :P [02:12] Dr_willis: I have installed Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) [02:12] i only needed to use it because the network cable for my xbox was eated by my dogs [02:12] :P [02:12] I cannot find the menu editor [02:12] oscarinabox: OO.o 3 [02:13] alacarte i think used tobe the name of the menu editror.. the menu items are generated from the .desktop files stores somewhere on the system also.. [02:13] hi,everybody [02:13] but with kde4 a lot of things have changed [02:14] Dr_willis: So it seems that I got it from the download. [02:15] Dr_willis: well alot has become unusable, when I used to pick a default application on Kubuntu prior to 8.10, I could choose from a display of the applications menu, but now, I have to figure out the full path to the app I want to use [02:15] draik, then every time theres a kernel update.. you will need to reinsatll it. [02:15] :( [02:15] !hi [02:15] Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [02:15] draik, you were the one that got it from the download.. instead of the repos. [02:15] !menu [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu [02:15] killer_: are you using kickoff or the old Kde3 menu ? [02:16] Dr_willis: I know. Oh well. I can live with it. [02:16] me neither kubotu :) [02:16] !kickoff [02:16] Kickoff is a new KDE menu replacement developed by openSUSE. See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2331 [02:16] :-) [02:16] THat needs to be changed [02:16] No idea what to though [02:17] Looks like it's the astoundly appropriately named kmenuedit [02:20] * DaSkreech wants 6 more people to login === usuario is now known as Karl [02:21] I don't find a "kickoff" package installed [02:22] DaSkreech: I guess kickoff.. this is a full/fresh off the CD install of Kubuntu 8.10 [02:22] hello [02:25] killer_: YO [02:25] Trouble with plasmoids... can't get the whole clock to display in the task bar. Other icons keep covering it. Doesn't matter how many other plasmoids I add or remove the clock simply won't portion itself enough space. Please help === keith is now known as compilerwriter [02:25] xp-killer: YO [02:26] DaSkreech: all these changes are reminding me of why I never like to use gnome [02:26] Dr_willis: I found menu editor [02:26] right-click the K(gear) button.. [02:27] killer_: I thought that's what you were doing from the start and it wasn't there :-P [02:28] DaSkreech: no.. I was right-clicking on the item I want to see the command path of.. [02:28] DaSkreech: no use anyhow.. there is no path on anything [02:31] if you know the name of the executable.. you could use the locate/find/which command... [02:33] Dr_willis: I just dig it out of the installed file list from synaptic after doing search [02:33] long way to go about such a simple task [02:35] If the full path isn't in the menu entry, the program is in your PATH environment variable [02:35] Most normal programs are in /usr/bin [02:36] killer_: What? [02:36] killer_: If you know the name of the command you can find where it is with the command "which" [02:36] as in which kmail [02:36] which ping [02:36] which cat [02:37] which way is wich? [02:37] Which Witch is which? [02:37] DaSkreech: yes.. but most things I have to find the command by checking the keyword search for the package and then see what it installed [02:38] which hazel [02:38] killer_: most of them are sensibly named. I've only found 4 or 5 that I really would have had no clue what the command name is [02:41] so after I get the new Kubuntu all tweaked with packages installed, how do I make an install script to duplicate this to another PC? [02:42] !clone [02:42] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:42] 'tweaking' is another issue entirely [02:44] !perfect tweak [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about perfect tweak [02:44] damn [02:45] * Dr_willis tweaks his dogs nose. [02:49] how can I have the advance window settings override a setting from desktop effects? [02:49] I tried to set one application to have its windows not be translucent upon inactivation, while desktop settings is set to 90% [02:50] I guess this feature hasn't been ironed out yet [02:55] Hi, I want to access another harddrive from my kubuntu, where could I find this in the file system? [02:58] what filesystem is the other drive? [02:59] It has windows vista installed on it, and I wanted to modify the boot device. [02:59] * Dr_willis forgets where kde stores all the other drives.. is it under 'computer://' or 'system://' now? [02:59] or you could mount it manually whever you wanted. if you want to read/write to it . You may need to set up the ntfs-3g stuff for full acccess [03:00] or you could install and run the 'ntfs-config' tool and let it set up the mountpoint/settings. [03:03] ok, kubuntu is rocking on my ati cards [03:03] Dr_willis: Isn't it on the sidebar for Dolphin? [03:03] but... plasma doesn't show up on the second screen [03:03] any ideas? [03:03] works fine with stock kde, cause it worked fine on archlinux [03:04] DaSkreech, i hate dolphin.. so not noticed it there. :) [03:05] My 2 windows drives are there DaSkreech but i also have enries for them in fstab... so not sure if thats where they would appear if there were no entry [03:05] Ah [03:07] * Dr_willis always rembers to enter the mountpoints for his ntfs partitions in the ubuntu installer... [03:09] i/o error cannot boot :\ [03:09] hello [03:09] i'm using kde 4.1, and desktop effects don't work [03:10] i have them enabled [03:10] cameri: are you using compiz ? [03:10] but for example, i've got flip switch enabled, and when i press alt+tab, it doesn't work [03:10] JediatNight: nope, i uninstalled it [03:10] it makes my screen become white [03:11] forever, i have to re-install if that happens [03:11] unless there's a way to reset my settings [03:11] how can I find the gid of a particular group in kubuntu? [03:11] I use compiz without any problems whatsoever and the effects are great.. [03:12] concernedcitizen: grep groupname /etc/groups [03:12] probably it can be somethign to do with graphics card? [03:12] cameri: What video card do you have? [03:12] nVidea geforce 8600 gt [03:12] i have nvidia 8400 gs [03:14] ill install it [03:14] hopefully it wont fk everything up again [03:14] hey [03:15] Im trying to configure firefox to be able to watch an mpeg-4 stream but for some reason it wont find any plug-ins Im in intrepid with kubuntu [03:15] there is no way to uninstall any plugins either [03:15] what gives? [03:15] got a url to the stream> [03:15] I will test it here. [03:16] ahh dont have it its on a private network [03:16] anybody managed to get usb working in virtualbox ? [03:16] can I run the latest svn kde on kubuntu as my main desktop? I think kde that kubuntu came with might be a bit buggy... [03:16] yesterday it asked me to whether i wanted to install a plug to handle video codecs in firefox [03:16] like an idiot i chose zine [03:16] xine** [03:16] If you install the other firefox plugins i think they will override that one. [03:17] i have installed the vlc one [03:17] it doesnt even show up [03:17] I normally install kubuntu-restricted-extras (or ubuntu restricted extras) and use gmplayer plugin [03:18] do you use adept or the synaptics? [03:18] I tend to just apt-get install the stuff.. :) [03:18] i see there is a ....... [03:18] ok i found it in adept [03:18] gotcha [03:18] mozilla-plugin-vlc - multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC [03:19] i installed that one already [03:19] bfrog: sure [03:19] it doesnt show up on the firefox plugins list [03:19] cant say that ive ever Looked in the plugins list. :) [03:19] are there any ways to get "FREE" music on ubuntu? [03:19] how would you uninstall a plugin in firefox? [03:19] so apparently while compiling the kernel i ran out of space [03:20] you can use google to search [03:20] can i use a usb drive to compile it on? [03:20] kyle__: Amarok. [03:20] whats armarok [03:20] !amarok [03:20] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [03:21] mplayer plugin shows up here in the firefox addons list... [03:21] I can't find anything on the internet about how to uninstall a plugin on firefox that isnt old or that doesnt have to do with one for windows [03:21] g_, if you installed it via the package manager.. you remove it via the package manager [03:21] all i have is xine and i cant choose anything else [03:22] you could have just told me "sudo apt-get install amarok".. [03:22] You dident ask how to isntall it. :) [03:23] kyle__: Didn't know if you wanted it. [03:23] how do i get music on it? [03:23] Dr_willis thanks man for the info [03:23] Theres other ways to get 'free' music also.. but it depends on what your eally want... [03:23] amarok can tune in free streams [03:23] to get free music this is what you do, go to youtube and find any music you want [03:24] last.fm :D [03:24] then get the firefox download video helper [03:24] pandora :d [03:24] dizzler :D [03:24] download the youtube video and then get a video converter and convert it from flv to mp3 [03:24] mininova :D :D :D :D :D [03:24] mininova is all viruses i hate torrents! [03:24] you dont even have to do it illegally you can do it legally off of youtube [03:25] cant say that ive gotten too many viruses for my linux box from torrents.. :) [03:25] ill just stick to firefox downloader [03:25] * Dr_willis jams to last.fm on amarok [03:25] 'all viruses'? I haven't seen a virus in months. What the heck are you downloading? [03:25] anyone know hwo to specify another drive for storage when compiling? [03:26] buckethead: Viruses obviously [03:26] file:///home/kyle/Desktop/Tay_Zonday_Chocolate_Rain.mp3 [03:26] is that a virus? [03:26] chocolate rain sounds like a virus.. [03:26] * DaSkreech laughs [03:27] OMG [03:27] Hes an award winning you tuber [03:28] lol [03:28] its amazing!@ [03:28] you can find people Ip from right clicking there name and click "WhoIs" [03:28] if this works , my email works, right? [03:28] and probably the next r kelly. [03:28] da: huh? [03:29] [22:28] [Whois] da is n=da@tx-67-77-72-233.dyn.embarqhsd.net (doswell conner) [03:29] haha [03:29] i found "da"'s IP [03:29] Note: If you name a song after what I do to the toilet after a visit to Cici's pizza, I'm going to compare you to R Kelly. [03:29] wow, and thank you... [03:29] yay i enabled it again [03:30] cameri [03:30] yes? [03:30] does the word "codetel.net" remind you of anything? [03:30] yep [03:30] why? [03:30] its my ISP [03:30] is it your internet provider or something like that? [03:30] Codetel yeah [03:30] haha [03:30] why? [03:30] sweet [03:31] right click somebodies name then click "Who Is?" [03:31] n=kyle@adsl-71-156-81-111.dsl.ipltin.sbcglobal.net (kyle morgan) [03:31] kyle__: Did you used to be named Jeff K? [03:31] nope [03:31] never heard of Jeff K [03:31] man, thats old stuff.. [03:31] i thought u were from here too [03:32] lol [03:32] bucketheads ISP is [03:32] liike [03:33] mc.at.cox.net [03:33] Smart man. [03:34] Go fight the R Kelly virus, haha. [03:35] is there a way to add another workspace to gnome? [03:35] !gnome [03:35] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [03:35] ..... [03:35] Eh, That wasn't what I wanted it to do. [03:35] Check in #gnome [03:35] hahahaw [03:35] hahahha* [03:39] oscarinabox: right click the pager [03:39] I think [03:40] If using compiz - you must use the ccsm tool [03:40] to add desktops. [03:42] Dr_willis: Wasn't there some shortcut key? I recall being able to deform the Cube on the fly [03:46] I rarely mess with the cube. :) [03:46] actually i rarely mess with compiz.. I still ahve too many issues with it. [03:47] can we use overseas wireless cards in the us? [03:48] cant say taht ive ever heard of any differacnes in them binMonkey [03:48] Depends on what portion of the spectrum they use, and your service provider. [03:48] I guess the fcc may have some issues with doing that.. but are not the wirless b/g/whatever standards world wide standards? [03:49] Oh.. Wireless = 802.11 or wireless = cellular data cards [03:49] i don't know. these thing are edimax cards and all use ralink drivers. [03:50] Just make sure you only use channels permitted in the us. Or don't, That might be a great way to hide your wireless network (not sure about that.) [03:51] you can use any wireless card [03:51] even those made overseas [03:52] right on. thanks, guys. [03:52] the 802.11 is a world-wide standard [03:52] and so are most of the IEEE standards [03:53] * Dr_willis wonders if theres an IEEE standard on IEEE standards... [03:53] :) [03:53] * Dr_willis bets there is... [03:54] IEEE 1 - IETF Technical Standards [03:54] (Just kidding.) [03:54] * binMonkey just bought an edimax card. w00t! [03:55] If I had an overseas router, and I set it to ch 12.. Would my US hardware be able to link up to it? US not supporting Ch 12-14 and all.. [03:55] why are the kubuntu servers so slow... [03:55] 50kbps ? [03:55] what is this... 1998? [03:55] It may get interfearance in any case.. so you proberly dont want to use ch 12 [03:57] Yeah, I'm not sure whats up in that portion of the spectrum. [03:57] Proberly Microwave ovens.. :) [03:58] and Brain Control devices [03:59] Lets not transfer pr0n on the same freq as the CIAs black devices! [04:01] oh sry it was me [04:01] ill pause the pr0n [04:03] LOL. [04:03] Hmm, Thats interesting. [04:03] It says 'radio location' [04:03] That explains the buzzing I was just getting in my butt - It was interfering with the implant! [04:08] can I switch mirrors for packages somehow? [04:09] us.archive.ubuntu.org is like... just above my 1998 dsl in speed, seriously [04:09] like 40kbps [04:09] bfrog: check out the Software Sorces program [04:09] bfrog: under Applications -> System [04:10] then there's a "Download from" dropdown [04:10] adept you mean? [04:11] bfrog: Yeah...actually, it's there too [04:11] well I don't have software sources or whatever [04:11] bfrog: Adept, Edit Software Sources [04:12] bfrog: yeah, sorry about that, for some reason I have ubuntu's "Software Sources" (came as a dependancy for some GTK program probably) [04:13] I do find best server but it doesn't tell me which one it was... [04:13] ah well, I'll figure it out [04:13] thanks [04:14] yeah, wow [04:14] the kernel.org mirror rocks as always [04:14] bfrog: no prob. Hope that helped [04:17] nm [04:17] easynews even better [04:17] finally, 300kbps, 10x faster... [04:42] i see black background on my system try icons on kde4, can i change that? [04:57] Okay, that was just plain weird. [04:58] I'm running amarok(the latest 2.0 beta) on intrepid. When I started gparted to do some partitioning (kdesudo gparted), amarok crashed with SIGABRT, I restarted it and all was fine. I finish what I'm doing in gparted and click apply, amarok crashes again with the same signal. [04:58] Weird. [04:59] I need to find BISS forum's IRC CHANNEL [04:59] dwidmann: how do you know what the signal was? how do i find that out when something crashses? [05:00] binMonkey: well, it gave me the little "application has crashed" sort of window [05:00] How can I have 56MB of nothing in a rar file? [05:00] oh. maybe i should pay attention to those. [05:01] binMonkey: if you have the appropriate debugging symbols packages installed, you can even grab the full backtrace from that window. [05:03] dwidmann: man. i wouldn't even know how to start doing that. that's another thing i've written down now to learn about. [05:05] binMonkey: it's really not complicated, the debugging symbols packages are usually named something like applicationname-dbg.
