[00:01] * Twylight wiffles [00:02] I going link it as document place [00:05] a shortcut is a 'gimmic' in windows.. in Linux a 'link' is an actual feature of the filesystem [00:05] i installed 8.10 with KDE4 [00:05] i have had programs under windows get confused and try to load some 'yourfile.lnk' as a text file. :) [00:05] suspend and logout dont work, when i suspend it locks up while booting again, when i do logout i just get a black screen [00:05] (in both cases i can still log in with ssh) [00:05] wesley_, you can link one directory to another location, and its as if its there.. :) plain and simple.. make a directory and toy with ln -s to see how ti works. [00:10] is there an "Open Konsole here" option in new Dolphin? [00:10] the konsole that gets opened with F4 doesnt start in the current directory [00:11] dek: works as expected for me [00:12] anyone knows why i just get a black screen when i logout, and i cant resume a suspended session [00:12] using KDE4 [00:13] does KDE4 work decently for ANYONE here? [00:13] After long using kde4, i think that its not fully stable and that kde3 is more stable [00:13] JontheEchidna: to me it is always in home :( I have just noticed it makes a cd /dir command and gives error but it disappears instantaneously. Maybe adding "." to path should do the trick =) [00:14] I think i going stick with 8.04 and use neon for kde4 testing [00:14] How can I burn a .bin to a cd? [00:14] I hope kde4.2 going bring us a more stable kde4 [00:14] why did they put KDE4 in the new kubuntu if it doesnt even work properly yet, it was awful in the 8.04 KDE4 edition, it has improved in 8.10 but its still too terrible to be deemed stable enough to be kubuntu's main WM [00:15] K3b doesn't seem to work. [00:17] so perhaps this is quite Google-able, but my cursor seems to have vanished and so I can't really open my web browser, and Konversation was open, so I tabbed over here and thoght I'd check if any of you knew about this bug [00:17] seems to happen whenever I try to access System Settings, and a reboot fixes it [00:19] ah well, reboot time :( [00:22] hello [00:22] !cue [00:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about cue [00:22] !bin [00:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin [00:23] gpops, Theres some tool to convert bin/cue to iso. But last i looked k3b could handle them.. but it may be needign that tool [00:23] the command was bchunk , or somthing like that === j is now known as Guest20679 [00:24] hello all, with the last update kdm no longer starts up automatically. can anyone help? [00:24] (updates drom 8.04 to 8.10) [00:25] Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to get the firewire working on Kubuntu 8.10? [00:25] want to buy a DVD recorder, the pioneer damage problems? [00:25] david_, should *just work* [00:25] TheTetsu, what? [00:26] I have it plugged into my camcorder and nothing happens [00:26] TheTetsu, any dvd recorder will/should work [00:26] david_, hmm, check if the camcorder is supported [00:26] how? [00:27] david_, good question ... do you have any software you use your camcorder with? [00:27] ok, tnx [00:27] not really I was going to use Kino [00:27] david_, for instance, digikam with photo camera's ... [00:27] well, try to use kino and see what happens [00:28] It is a canon z300 [00:28] i actually don't know much about camcorders and kde/linux .. but let me take a look here.. [00:28] !info kino [00:28] kino (source: kino): Non-linear editor for Digital Video data. In component main, is extra. Version 1.3.0-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 4262 kB, installed size 9484 kB [00:28] I thought kino could access/get the data that way [00:29] my CamCorder - shows up as a USB hard drive. :) [00:30] david_, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CamcOrder [00:30] dr_willis, there are different types on camcorders .. kino does work that way for some f them [00:31] david_, that link should help you out [00:31] anyone know how to get kdm to start automaticaly at start up?? [00:31] it stopped doing that after version upgrade [00:31] It says in Kino that raw1394 is not available [00:32] or that the raw1394 module must be loaded [00:32] load the module? :) [00:32] sudo modprobe whatever [00:33] what do you mean dr? [00:33] !raw1394 [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about raw1394 [00:33] "sudo modprobe raw1394" [00:33] strange, but it should already be loaded i think... [00:34] after modprobing it, try kino out again [00:34] gotta go, good luck! [00:34] i was thinking some of the 1394 modules re blacklisted [00:36] it also says I must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394 [00:38] I am not that familar with this to figure it out [00:40] could chmode it.. or chown it.. [00:41] or (ick) run the kino app as root. :( --- bad idea --- but would be a good test I guess [00:41] it's one of them roadblocks I guess [00:42] 'security' :) [00:43] thanks for trying [00:43] bye [00:43] if root works.. then ya could go the chmode route..

How do I tell kubuntu 7.04 to start kdm every time I login? I tried KDE4 (added via adept) and did not like it, so I downgraded, but kdm won't start on its own. [00:58] noisy1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [00:59] unimatrix: I'll give that a try. thx! [00:59] 8.04 is stable [00:59] hi, do I need to download from JDK from sun.com or I can install it via adept? [00:59] dig: via adept [01:00] type JDK on adept? [01:01] !java [01:01] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper [01:01] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [01:03] unimatrix: you totally rock!!! that fixed the kdm issue! I´ve been searching for this with no luck. THANKS!! [01:04] another q: i'm trying to work with my kubuntu box from a mac, but i have not been able to get vnc working. I can ssh into the box. is there a way to start the k-menu via an ssh session? [01:04] you can try synergy [01:05] it's a server-client utility that allows you to control many computers through one with a single keyboard & mouse [01:05] it's crossplatform too so it works on macs [01:06] btw i hope you aren't installing VNC or anything, because it's all already done by default, you just need to enable it [01:08] yeah. not installing it on either kubuntu or mac. I enable desktop sharing on kubuntu and start a vnc:// session in mac, but it never connects. I tried a couple of vnc clients too. [01:08] any firewalls involved maybe? [01:08] they connect, but I do not see any of the changes on screen on the kubuntu box. weird. [01:09] no firewalls. at this point, both are sitting next to each other until I figure this out. [01:09] try a stand alone vncserver? see if one of those works? [01:09] I installed vnc4server via adept. no luck. [01:10] bad idea [01:10] ? [01:10] in Kubuntu, you have a utility called Krfb [01:10] just configure everything via that, no need to install anything [01:10] You can run vnc4server and have no problems.. in fact you may want it in some cases [01:11] vnc4server needs a little tweaking to get working 100% however by default [01:11] what is the full path of J2SE installation? [01:12] i did. that was my first option (using krfb (aka desktop sharing). no luck. then I tried vnc4server. no luck (too many config changes and I many have missed a step or two). I then tried kde4's krfb with a little more luck, but no screen refreshes. [01:12] that's why I downgraded to kde3 [01:13] oh wait [01:13] u using KDE4? [01:13] oh you were [01:13] yeah, krfb is broken in kubuntu-kde4 [01:13] not at this point. i upgraded, tested, downgraded [01:14] noisy1, to get vnc4server going.. I install it.. run vncpasswd to give user a vnc password.. run vncserver, then kill it with vncserver -kill :1, theni have to fix the .vnc/xstartup it made.. because the silly thing defaults to twm. :() [01:14] that's weird. krfb in kde4 worked better than kde3's which does nothing. [01:16] interesting, i had the reverse situation [01:17] you might wanna purge the kde settings [01:17] i bet KDE4 screwed something up [01:17] kde3 and kde4 don't mix well [01:20] how do I purge the kde settings? i went through adept and removed any kde4 stuff that I found on my system, but that's about it. [01:21] well you could try removing ~/.kde ~/.kde3 ~./kde4 [01:22] well backup them first [01:23] i'll give synergy a try first. kde3 seems to be behaving well. i was having problems with krfb even before i tried kde4. [01:23] thx, I figure it out. [01:30] synergy is handy.. theres a front end to it in the repos also i recall [01:31] It canbe a bit of an annoyance to get going === _roconnor is now known as roconnor === Drachenblut is now known as Lord_Drachenblut [01:55] Alguém do Brasil?
