[10:43] <Jucato> aah. comparing YaST to SYstem Settings?
[10:43] <HardDisk> yea
[10:43] <Jucato> ah ok. agreed then :)
[10:44] <HardDisk> and wierd that suse was able to detect my monitor's 1600x1050 res, but kubuntu only has me at 1024
[10:44] <HardDisk> I mean already installed the nvidia and beryl stuff so..
[10:44] <Jucato> heh other way around... Kubuntu was able to detect 1024x768 on this laptop, but SuSE only got me 800x600 :)
[10:45] <HardDisk> gotta google then how to get this thing to max res
[10:45] <Jucato> try configuring the drivers and resolution in System Settings -> Monitor & Display
[10:45] <HardDisk> yea I did
[10:45] <Jucato> (click Administrator Mode)
[10:46] <Jucato> hm.. then if that doesn't work...
[10:46] <fignew> edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:46] <Jucato> !xconfig | HardDisk
[10:46] <ubotu> HardDisk: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[10:46] <HardDisk> oh well..I can always do that too
[10:46] <HardDisk> gimme a sec
[10:46] <robertwoes> HardDisk: I just added the mode to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooted
[10:46] <robertwoes> worked
[10:46] <HardDisk> sounds good
[10:46] <HardDisk> brb
[10:46] <Jucato> rebooted?! omg!
[10:47] <HardDisk> well obviously Im not going to reboot :)
[10:47] <HardDisk> just restart x
[10:47] <robertwoes> well, restarted the xserver?
[10:47] <robertwoes> lol
[10:47] <Jucato> yep that's better
[10:47] <Jucato> whew :D
[10:47] <HardDisk> I may be a noob but I'm no idiot
[10:47] <robertwoes> hah! hilarious
[10:47] <Jucato> reboot, reformat, reinstall... try to get rid of those habits :)
[10:48] <Jucato> I mean, reboot to fix things :D
[10:48] <Jucato> (or after fixing/installing/configuring)
[10:49] <HardDisk> hmm
[10:50] <HardDisk> seems its locked
[10:50] <HardDisk> would beryl lock it?
[10:50] <Jucato> what is locked?
[10:50] <HardDisk> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

[10:54] <robertwoes> btw i want to clean my lcd monitor -- can i just use regular glass cleaner?
[10:54] <robertwoes> heh
[10:55] <|ericsson|> robertwoes: or type clean-my-monitor in terminal
[10:55] <robertwoes> what's a terminal?
[10:55] <robertwoes> lol
[10:56] <maki> is resizing dangerous job
[10:57] <robertwoes> |ericsson|: can you send me the script?
[10:58] <|ericsson|> robertwoes: all you need is a good sense of humor, a command-terminal and patience..
[11:00] <exconvictriddick> lol
[11:00] <robertwoes> |ericsson|: I don't see how a card game will clean my monitor, but I will just start playing and hope for the best.
[11:01] <|ericsson|> robertwoes: use a soft cloth to clean, might be faster..
[11:01] <robertwoes> |ericsson|: Hey, now *THAT* is a good idea!
[11:01] <Jucato> no lint cloth
[11:02] <robertwoes> yes, no lint.

[11:39] <dc2447> Tm_T - I know  - that is what I'm asking  - is apt-get dist-upgrade safe once source3s.list has been updated or does adept do some magic
[11:40] <Tm_T> dc2447: well, no it doesn't ;)

[11:42] <Tm_T> dc2447: but I repeat, watch what you're doing ;)
[11:42] <Tm_T> there's some differences how metapackages are handled I think

[12:07] <just-this-time> how to install easily a pdf printer?
[12:09] <soulrider_> just-this-time: so that you can print to a PDF file ?
[12:10] <soulrider_> openoffice can save to PDF if you want
[12:11] <soulrider_> but if you go to system settings and to printers, you can add a pdf printer
[12:12] <just-this-time> tyvm soulrider_ . want an systemwide printer available from FF2
[12:12] <just-this-time> tyvm soulrider_ . want an systemwide  PDF printer available from FF2
[12:12] <soulrider_> just-this-time: could you get it set up ?
[12:13] <Jucato_> (you don't need to add a PDF printer... there's a Print to PDF option from KDE Print by default, unless it's a non-KDE app)
[12:13] <Jucato_> !autostart | mrcreativity
[12:13] <ubotu> mrcreativity: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.

[01:35] <djdarkman> can someone tell how does /proc/cpuinfo work?
[01:35] <ddaedalus> djdarkman: try man proc, search for cpuinfo
[01:38] <djdarkman> yeah I see but it doesn`t contain what I need
[01:38] <djdarkman> I mean it`s reporting wrong CPU speed
[01:38] <djdarkman> and I want to know if it`s realy wrong, or my CPU has a problem
[01:39] <djdarkman> my processor is 2.0 GHz
[01:39] <djdarkman> cpuinfo reports 1.0 GHz
[01:39] <ddaedalus> does your cpu downscale? is it a pentium?
[01:39] <djdarkman> but strange thing is that on startup it reports 2.0Ghz
[01:39] <djdarkman> AMD 64 Athlon 3200+
[01:40] <djdarkman> does the generic kernel does some CPU scalling?
[01:40] <ddaedalus> your cpu scales down. try to make it sweat a little bit, and look during this process into cpuinfo
[01:40] <ddaedalus> well, mine does
[01:41] <Chump> hello
[01:41] <djdarkman> don`t understand ,what should I do?
[01:41] <djdarkman> ohhh sorry
[01:41] <djdarkman> read it wrong
[01:41] <djdarkman> I understand
[01:41] <ddaedalus> as lon as it puts your cpu under heavy load, it doesent matter
[01:41] <ddaedalus> kk ;)
[01:42] <Chump> hey does anyone know if it is possible to use the read command or ask user input in any way in the boot scripts
[01:50] <djdarkman_> is there a way I can disable CPU scaling?
[01:50] <ddaedalus> dont know. why would you want to?
[01:50] <djdarkman_> I don`t want it
[01:50] <ddaedalus> thats... not very convincing ^^
[01:51] <ddaedalus> sorry i dont know a way to disable it. IIRC it is hardwired into the cpu
[01:51] <djdarkman_> sometimes my system doesn`t run fast enough
[01:52] <ddaedalus> a hack would be putting a heavy nice load on the system
[01:52] <kubuntu_tester> hello folks
[01:52] <djdarkman_> yeah I don`t like scalling because if there`s high load and doesn`t reach the scalling limit, my system is just slow
[01:53] <kubuntu_tester> my system (kubuntu dapper drake) doesnt mount automatically an usb key
[01:54] <kubuntu_tester> kernel recognizes the device
[01:54] <ddaedalus> if theres high load, the cpu should automagically scale up. you shouldnt see a leag since scaling is very fast < 0.01ms
[01:54] <ddaedalus> *lag
[01:54] <kubuntu_tester> a pop-up appears but when I press "open in new window" nothing happens
[01:55] <kubuntu_tester> someone can help me? thanks
[01:55] <kubuntu_tester> I checked bugs in launchpad but did not help
[01:56] <kubuntu_tester> I can provide some output messages if needed
[01:56] <ddaedalus> kubuntu_tester: is dapper still supported?
[01:56] <chijin> it is
[01:56] <kubuntu_tester> ddaedalus: sure, it's a long term distro
[01:56] <kubuntu_tester> three years
[01:56] <ddaedalus> oh, i see.
[01:56] <kubuntu_tester> for desktop use
[01:56] <chijin> kubuntu_tester: do you see the usb disk under /media/ ?
[01:56] <ddaedalus> yes, ur right. i forgot
[01:57] <kubuntu_tester> chijin: nope
[01:57] <kubuntu_tester> I need to use pmount to access device
[01:58] <kubuntu_tester> the problem appared after last upgrade of kde
[01:58] <djdarkman> kubuntu_tester: upgrade to feisty fawn
[01:58] <kubuntu_tester> djdarkman: what a solution! lol
[02:01] <kubuntu_tester> kernel's log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18945/
[02:02] <ddaedalus> kubuntu_tester: since pmount works, its rather a problem with kde
[02:03] <rdallarmi> how do I check, using apt-get, if a given package is installed?
[02:03] <kubuntu_tester> rdallarmi: use apt-cache
[02:04] <kubuntu_tester> ddaedalus: the kde daemon pop-ups a window but when I confirm the "open in new window" nothing happens as I said
[02:04] <rdallarmi> kubuntu_tester: does that return the available packages or the installed ones?
[02:04] <ddaedalus> kubuntu_tester: thats even more evident that kde screws up :P
[02:05] <kubuntu_tester> ddaedalus: what part of kde do I need to control?
[02:05] <kubuntu_tester> rdallarmi: read manual page you will find all info about
[02:05] <ddaedalus> rdallarmi: simply do apt-get install <package>, apt-get will complain if it is already iinstalled
[02:05] <ddaedalus> kubuntu_tester: sorry, dont know
[02:06] <kubuntu_tester> hmm, ok...I will try to ask someone on #kde
[02:06] <kubuntu_tester> thanks anyway

[02:15] <sebbar> hi, so is there any chance kubuntu will get loaded on dells machines or is it just ubuntu? has anybody heard anything on that?
[02:16] <detto> sebbar- not sure, but it's easy enough to download kde and run that
[02:16] <detto> sebbar- in fact, I know that kubuntu comes with gdm and you can choose it when you log in
[02:17] <Jucato> kubuntu does not come with gdm
[02:17] <sebbar> ok, it would be nice if dell had kde preinstalled as well
[02:18] <Jucato> who knows... we'll have to wait and see...
[02:18] <detto> jucato- hmm... maybe it auto installed when I got some gnome program
[02:18] <Jucato> detto: probably. KDM is the default login manager for Kubuntu
[02:18] <Jucato> unless that was what you meant
[02:18] <jujimufu> speaking of KDM
[02:18] <jujimufu> how can I access it's control panel
[02:18] <jujimufu> because it does not appear anywhere in the KDE Control Center
[02:18] <Jucato> System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Login Manager
[02:19] <Jucato> or KControl -> System Administration -> Login Manager
[02:19] <jujimufu> ok, thanks
[02:20] <ranxerox> buon giorno a tutti
[02:21] <detto> !it
[02:21] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[02:23] <smee> hi
[02:23] <NiceGuyUK> lo
[02:24] <NiceGuyUK> !usenet
[02:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usenet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:28] <jujimufu> Jucato: going to Advanced -> Login Manager gets me to the actual login manager, not KDM. There is no option to install a KDM theme anywhere, it's just the plain, default login manager.
[02:28] <Jucato> jujimufu: that was what I was thinking you would be asking next :)
[02:28] <jujimufu> >_>
[02:28] <Jucato> um... btw, KDM *is* the actual login manager :)
[02:28] <jujimufu> ok, sorry
[02:28] <jujimufu> wrong thing
[02:28] <Jucato> jujimufu: install the package kdmtheme
[02:29] <jujimufu> Jucato: yes, that's what I mean, kdm theme manager :P
[02:29] <jujimufu> Jucato: lol, sorry :D
[02:29] <jujimufu> thanks again :)
[02:29] <Jucato> then run kcontrol (the real kcontrol) and go to kcontrol -> system administration
[02:29] <jujimufu> thankies
[02:30] <jujimufu> oh, and one last thing
[02:30] <epimeth> I think my amarok died....
[02:30] <epimeth> used it last night, worked... updated today, doesn't
[02:30] <epimeth> :-)
[02:30] <jujimufu> which file do I have to edit to add applications which should be run on startup (of KDE), and how do I add them?
[02:30] <jujimufu> I will make sure not to update my dog, then
[02:30] <Daisuke_Ido> epimeth: updated to what?
[02:30] <Jucato> !autostart | jujimufu
[02:30] <ubotu> jujimufu: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
[02:31] <epimeth> Daisuke_Ido: there was an update for amarok... so I upgraded
[02:31] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm at 1.4.5, so...
[02:31] <Daisuke_Ido> ah
[02:32] <Daisuke_Ido> you're running feisty, right?
[02:34] <jujimufu> btw
[02:35] <jujimufu> I have three different keyboard layouts (languages), and I want to switch through them by pressing left Shift+Alt. How do I do that?

[02:51] <VSpike> What's the best way to get the sound on gnome apps to work well undeer KDE?  I've opened the gnome-control-centre, and looked at the sound settings.  Should I just turn off ESD and set it to ALSA for everything?  Or are the settings not even relevant under KDE?
[02:51] <VSpike> I have two sound cards, and I find that gnome apps seem to use the wrong one.
[02:51] <VSpike> Mainly flash in firefox
[02:52] <VSpike> phpcode: How many partitions do you have? And what OS's installed now?

[02:57] <Filthpig> hi all
[02:57] <epimeth> hi Filthpig!
[02:57] <Filthpig> does anyone have any experience with running ut2004 under kubuntu?
[02:57] <epimeth> nope, but I understand it isn't supposed to be too difficult
[02:57] <Filthpig> the install went smoothly, and the game runs perfectly... but there's no sound :s
[02:58] <epimeth> ahh
[02:58] <Filthpig> it's damned neat, really, the games actually comes with a linux installer
[02:58] <Filthpig> don't have to download a linux client (as with neverwinter nights)
[02:59] <Filthpig> I do suspect that it might have something to do with the sound driver
[02:59] <epimeth> try this:
[02:59] <Filthpig> cause the game only has "OpenAL" as sound driver..
[03:00] <epimeth> install libopenalpp-cvs1 and libopenal-cvs-dev
[03:00] <Filthpig> alrighty
[03:00] <epimeth> copy and rename libopenalpp.xo.100 to openal.so in the System folder of the UT install
[03:00] <epimeth> run the game :-)
[03:00] <epimeth> this is from:
[03:00] <epimeth> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2325660
[03:00] <Filthpig> ah
[03:01] <Filthpig> I searched for it on google, but I probably wasn't specific enough ;)
[03:02] <botch> hello there
[03:02] <Filthpig> helly
[03:02] <botch> just got a brand new pc!
[03:02] <Filthpig> helly? heheh. Hello!
[03:02] <botch> man - it is so fast!
[03:02] <epimeth> botch: congrats!
[03:02] <Filthpig> botch: I envy thee :)
[03:02] <epimeth> Filthpig: my search was: ut2004 kubuntu sound
[03:03] <botch> so, now i want to get my kde settings from my old one to my brand new and hot one
[03:03] <Filthpig> epimeth: my search was ut2004 sound problems linux
[03:03] <botch> is there a utility to do so seamlessly?
[03:03] <Filthpig> gave me loads of bulls*
[03:03] <epimeth> Filthpig: it was the first link from google :-0
[03:03] <epimeth> Filthpig: that's why I'm working in an SEO company and you're not! :-)
[03:03] <botch> also wallet, bookmarks and stuff..
[03:03] <Filthpig> botch: copy ~/.kde to your new home folder
[03:03] <epimeth> botch: copy ~/.kde from your old one to the new one
[03:04] <Filthpig> epimeth: hahah
[03:04] <botch> Filthpig: is it really that easy?
[03:04] <Filthpig> botch: yep
[03:04] <epimeth> botch: yes, but make sure all of the same programs are installed
[03:04] <botch> i mean, the new Feisty brought new things and goodies. would i overwrite those new things with my old configs?
[03:04] <epimeth> botch: really, copy your entire ~ (home) directory over
[03:05] <epimeth> botch: probably not
[03:05] <epimeth> make a backup first :-)
[03:05] <jujimufu> !autostart
[03:05] <ubotu> To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.
[03:05] <epimeth> soooo.... amarok?
[03:05] <botch> epimeth: the apps differ. definetly
[03:06] <epimeth> botch: depends on the apps, and for the most part apps keep old config settings for reverse compatability :-)
[03:06] <botch> epimeth: i see. i'll give it a try...
[03:06] <epimeth> botch: what do you think happens when you upgrade a program with apt?  it deletes your old confs?
[03:06] <dfeser> hi all!
[03:07] <epimeth> dfeser: ahoy!
[03:07] <dfeser> has something changed in 7.04 regarding usb subsystem?
[03:07] <VSpike> botch: I did a clean install of feisty on a new partition, and once installed, just mounted the partition with my old /home in the new FS.  Which is basically the same thing.  And it worked fine.
[03:08] <VSpike> Wow.  kworldclock really sucks!
[03:08] <dfeser> i used bcharge to adjust my usb port to 500mA...worked on 6.10...
[03:08] <phpcode> VSpike: i have 2 partitions, and want to install Kubuntu on one of them(where windows are, C:/ in windows).
[03:09] <Filthpig> epimeth: and I have sound :)
[03:09] <erikja> !force
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about force - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <Filthpig> didn't need to do the copy/rename-thing
[03:09] <luis_lopez> Hi all!, What is the best KDE tool to send a popup message to logged-in users at any given time?
[03:09] <VSpike> phpcode: what's on the other one?
[03:10] <dfeser> does somenone have a clue?
[03:10] <_Johny> Hello. How can I reconfigure my "bash.rc" file, becouse it's been wiped out from the HDD somehow....
[03:10] <phpcode> VSpike: only files(backup)
[03:11] <VSpike> phpcode:  So are you wanting a dual boot system, or you want to replace windows with kubuntu?
[03:11] <phpcode> vspike: replace (a)
[03:12] <epimeth> Filthpig: so do I... just no 'mute' button :-)
[03:13] <epimeth> well, there is a mute button... and it says on the screen "Mute On/Off"
[03:13] <epimeth> but the sound doesn't turn on or off
[03:13] <epimeth> heh
[03:13] <VSpike> phpcode: So which part are you stuck on?  Have you tried running the live CD?
[03:14] <epimeth> _Johny: you can grab the bash.rc file from /etc/skel
[03:14] <epimeth> _Johny: its better than nothing....
[03:14] <VSpike> phpcode: I'd prefer to go with the manual partitioning options.  In your case, I'd probably delete the windows partition if there's nothing on it you need, and then create at least one large main and one small swap partition in its place.
[03:14] <epimeth> _Johny: won't have any of your settings, but it's the default one for all new users
[03:15] <epimeth> dfeser: sorry, dunno
[03:15] <phpcode> vspike: im in kubuntu running from the CD.
[03:15] <epimeth> phpcode: you like? :-)
[03:15] <VSpike> phpcode: if you want to subdivide your partitions further, that's fine too.  Up to you.  Depends on the size of your HDD.
[03:16] <VSpike> phpcode: probably KISS if no particular reason to do otherwise
[03:16] <Filthpig> epimeth: what..? you mean the "mute"-button on your keyboard, or in ut?
[03:16] <Filthpig> hm, problem. ut crashes when trying to window it
[03:17] <_Johny> epimeth, Thank you. I just copied it from another user account, is it fine?
[03:18] <VSpike> phpcode: Now ... [[03:18] <fsckit> anyone else having any problems with kubuntu not automounting when a cd is put in?
[03:18] <VSpike> phpcode: When you get to the partitioning part, just choose "manual".   I thought you were making fun of me cuz my amarok isn't working
[03:21] <epimeth> :-)
[03:22] <epimeth> fsckit: it should automount
[03:22] <mat1980> fsckit, linux can automount cd. Ubuntu should do it.
[03:23] <fsckit> it doesn't usually go smoothly when i'm putting in and ejecting cd's. k3b gave me a "can't unmount" error a while ago...
[03:23] <VSpike> phpcode: try putting the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" to the pastebin
[03:24] <phpcode> vspike: Mount point?
[03:24] <phpcode> vspike: what is that?
[03:24] <VSpike> phpcode: If you are creating one main partition, then /
[03:25] <mat1980> fsckit, I suppose your drive is not well supported.
[03:26] <VSpike> phpcode: the linux filesystem is very flexible ... you can mount any device anywhere into your filesystem, which always starts at the root (/) and works down from there...
[03:26] <mat1980> fsckit, did you ever tried other distro?
[03:26] <mat1980> fsckit, or other version of kubuntu?
[03:26] <VSpike> phpcode: for example, you could put all your use files on a different partition or drive by making another partition and setting the mountpoint to "/home".  When you browse the files in linux, it all looks like a single file structure, but can be spread across many devices
[03:27] <VSpike> phpcode: In your case, you want a single root partition containing everything, so the mount point is /
[03:28] <phpcode> vspike: ok.
[03:29] <VSpike> phpcode: when you have time for reading, start with http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/
[03:30] <fsckit> mat1980, yes, but a a few years ago. it's a pioneer 107d which is common especially among ps2 game copiers, not to say i'm one, lol
[03:30] <jujimufu> I have three different keyboard layouts (languages), and I want to switch through them by pressing left Shift+Alt. How do I do that?
[03:31] <fsckit> guess i'm still a noob at linux but between manual and auto mounting, it's never been all that smooth sailing
[03:31] <VSpike> phpcode: this is quite good too: http://polishlinux.org/first-steps/filesystem-and-disks/
[03:32] <asif> Hi is there any desktop effects in kubuntu?
[03:32] <jujimufu> asif: such as?
[03:32] <asif> jujimufu: Those ones in ubuntu..
[03:33] <phpcode> vspike: Thx. :D
[03:33] <ddaedalus> asif: by default, no.
[03:33] <jujimufu> asif: which ones? I don't have ubuntu, so you have to be a little bit more explaining.
[03:33] <asif> jujimufu: The xgl style ones
[03:33] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: he means beryl/compiz
[03:33] <asif> ddaedalus: Are they enabled from a menu?
[03:33] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: but these are not standard ubuntu, are they?
[03:34] <jujimufu> asif: no, kubuntu doesn't have these by default.
[03:34] <ddaedalus> asif: no, kubuntu hasnt these
[03:34] <asif> jujimufu: Does kubuntu have them in menu at all?
[03:34] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: not enabled, but installed
[03:34] <sjb> hi there
[03:34] <jujimufu> asif: no.
[03:34] <sjb> how do i find partitions such as hd0.3 in kubuntu
[03:34] <jujimufu> asif: you have to download them and install them yourself.
[03:34] <asif> jujimufu: Okay many thanks
[03:34] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: really? I didn't know that... I thought XGL was still experimental, and ubuntu contains only stable stuff.
[03:35] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: u dont need xgl to run beryl. <x>ubuntu had since 6.10 aiglx by default which is enough for beryl
[03:36] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: so you can have the same effects with aiglx and beryl as you can with compiz+xgl?
[03:36] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: compiz also runs on aiglx
[03:37] <VSpike> asif: Are you running 7.04?
[03:37] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: basically these things run everything that provides compositioning ind texture_from_pixmap gl extension
[03:37] <asif> VSpike: Yes
[03:37] <fsckit> jujimufu, you can get effects up the yazoo with kubuntu and it's still a light load for my 5 year old computer
[03:37] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: so aiglx+beryl is stable enough now?
[03:38] <VSpike> asif: then I think "sudo aptitude install beryl" will do it
[03:38] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: aiglx is, beryl is not
[03:38] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: but still i do use beryl
[03:38] <asif> VSpike: Is the effects same as the ubuntu ones, or different somehow?
[03:39] <ddaedalus> asif: beryl/compiz is beryl/compiz no matter where
[03:39] <VSpike> asif: I saw that ubuntu has an effects entry in the control panel, but I don't know what it uses.  Trust me though, beryl has everything you'd ever need and more besides
[03:39] <asif> ddaedalus: I see, thanks
[03:39] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: baah... Last time I ran xgl and compiz was in September, and the main problem with it was that when I ran compiz with kde it ran terribly slowly, while with gnome it ran just fine. thing is, I worked mainly in kde, so i abandoned it.
[03:39] <Filthpig> epimeth: hahaha, sorry :D Thanks for the help on the sound. I did NOT make fun of you, I didn't even know you had a problem with amaroK :D lol!
[03:39] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: so, if I apt-get aiglx and beryl, it should work, or is it too much trouble (like xgl and compiz) to make it work?
[03:40] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: because beryl has some kde-centric hacks, u can use beryl just nice on kde
[03:40] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: I see. But it is too much hassle to install it, or is it fast and easy?
[03:40] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: plz take a look on the wiki. and no. aiglx is the default x server for ubuntu
[03:40] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: ok ok, sorry. Thanks again :)
[03:40] <VSpike> asif: once installed, run beryl-manager to start
[03:41] <VSpike> I just tried it, it works
[03:41] <fsckit> here's my desktop using beryl: http://www.flickr.com/photos/usp8riot/481880323/in/photostream/
[03:41] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: np. beryl, beryl-core, emerald shouldn be enaough
[03:41] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: still u should first read the ubuntu wiki for sure
[03:41] <VSpike> ddaedalus: beryl seems to pull everything else in
[03:41] <ddaedalus> VSpike: well, thats good ^^
[03:42] <VSpike> It's a lot easier than it was getting it working in edgy :)
[03:42] <fsckit> i'm surprised how stable and light beryl the latest beryl is
[03:42] <jujimufu> yeah, along with some gnome-related libraries that I see here.
[03:42] <ddaedalus> VSpike: i *am* on edgy, and its easy enough
[03:42] <VSpike> ddaedalus: My main problem was getting the latest binary nvidia driver installed
[03:43] <VSpike> ddaedalus: the one shipped with feisty supports AIGLX though which is good
[03:43] <ddaedalus> VSpike: where there is a will there is a way ;) :P
[03:43] <ubuntu_> hola que tal como estan todos se que este canal no es para habla hispana pero asi como van las cosas no tengo otra opcion por favor disculpen las molestias. tengo un problema al arrancar cubuntu tras una actualizacion del kernel y no encuentro como solucionarlo. de verdad agradeceria mucho cualquier ayuda que puedan darme
[03:43] <VSpike> I couldn't and still can't get it play nicely with the KDE desktop switcher.... ddaedalus / fsckit , how do you handle that?
[03:44] <ddaedalus> VSpike: i know, therefore i am trying to update to feisty asap
[03:44] <ddaedalus> VSpike: u have to set the number of desktops to 1, and forget about the desktop switcher
[03:44] <jujimufu> ubuntu_: este no canal para habla espanol. Halo ingles?
[03:44] <jujimufu> *Hablo
[03:44] <VSpike> ddaedalus: set that in the kde contrl panel?
[03:45] <ubuntu_> no
[03:45] <fsckit> VSpike, i've only ever used one desktop. or just use beryl's desktop switcher, it's nicer
[03:45] <ddaedalus> VSpike: yes, should do
[03:45] <VSpike> ubuntu: has probado el canal #ubuntu-es?
[03:45] <ubuntu_> probe en kubuntu-es pero nadie responde
[03:46] <jujimufu> ubuntu_: no #kubuntu-es, ma #ubuntu-es
[03:47] <maniac920> Hi. Is there anyone willing to help a poor newbie on a simple problem?
[03:47] <mat1980> maniac, tell
[03:47] <fsckit> maniac920, the line you wasted asking if you can ask, you could've just asked it
[03:48] <ubuntu_> gracias jujimufu
[03:48] <jujimufu> hey, VSpike, I apt-got beryl and all its dependencies, and I tried running "beryl manager", but I got this error: "Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled"
[03:48] <double> hello wat is a name of french chanel Kubuntu ?
[03:49] <double> sory for my english :)
[03:49] <maniac920> it seems im not able to log in as a root. using the command su a window pops up asking for a password but you cant type anything in it. its the same with that command in the console.
[03:49] <Lynx-> Hi. I've got a question: Will Kubuntu 7.10 have KDE 4 or still KDE 3?
[03:50] <jujimufu> ubuntu_: de nada
[03:50] <fsckit> maniac920, to login as root, i just start in recovery mode
[03:50] <Jucato> Lynx-: most probably still KDE 3.5.x
[03:50] <VSpike> maniac920: by default the root account is disabled in ubuntu
[03:50] <Jucato> (.7 or .8)
[03:50] <VSpike> maniac920: what are you trying to achieve?
[03:50] <Lynx-> thanks.
[03:50] <Frederick> halo folks anyone here has a vizio mp3 player and can say if it is compatible with linux?
[03:50] <fsckit> Lynx-, as far as i know, it will
[03:51] <jujimufu> double: tu peux essayer #ubuntu-fr
[03:51] <jujimufu> maniac920: you can use the sudo command to execute something as root.
[03:51] <fsckit> Lynx-, Jucato may be right
[03:51] <Jucato> Lynx-, fsckit: most probably there will be an add-on/separate CD for KDE 4 once KDE 4r is releases
[03:51] <maniac920> well but to install FireFox(in my case) i have to run some commands as root. at least thats what my tutorials tell me ( i told you im new to this).
[03:51] <Jucato> the problem is that both KDE 4 and Kubuntu 7.10 are scheduled to be released on Oct 2007
[03:51] <double> jujimufu: jai utliser /list, je pensai pas ke ca marchai sur ce server :)
[03:52] <VSpike> maniac920: then use "sudo apt-get blah blah"
[03:52] <ddaedalus> !fr
[03:52] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:52] <double> jujimufu: si je fait /list sur ircnet deco imediate :)
[03:52] <VSpike> sudo will run a command with root priviledge.. when it asks for a password, enter your normal login password
[03:52] <ddaedalus> !fr | double
[03:52] <ubotu> double: please see above
[03:52] <jujimufu> brb
[03:52] <double> thx for your help :)
[03:52] <Gtwy> what is that webstat program that is better than webalizer
[03:53] <double> have a goo day all :)
[03:53] <jcolagro> question with ati video card driver
[03:53] <maniac920> yeah  i tried that VSpike but it wont let me type in anything
[03:53] <VSpike> maniac920: if you need to run a graphical program with root privs in KDE, use "kdesu"
[03:53] <fsckit> maniac920, you should use another account and use sudo. it saved my butt a week ago. messed up my settings, it wouldn't boot, but i could boot into recovery/root mode to restore my previous settings
[03:53] <VSpike> maniac920: I don't think you see any typing as you enter the password
[03:53] <dfeser> is there a change in usbfs since feisty?
[03:53] <Jucato> maniac920: when you enter passwords in the command line, you don't really see what you are typing
[03:54] <Jucato> maniac920: it doesn't give you any feedback, like *'s or anything
[03:54] <jcolagro> during installation... ubuntu find the right video driver I have on my laptop ... but it seems that the driver is not correct
[03:54] <jujimufu> double: J'ai juste essay #ubuntu-fr et j'ai vu que c'tait l :)
[03:54] <fsckit> maniac920, once you screw up your root account, it's harder to recover
[03:54] <jcolagro> and I have to change it into a vesa video driver
[03:54] <maniac920> well ok then ill try some of your suggestions. thanks a lot
[03:54] <VSpike> I hope they fix this "firefox-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()" bug soon
[03:55] <VSpike> jcolagro: ATI ?
[03:55] <jcolagro> yes
[03:55] <mat1980> jcolagro, sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:55] <jcolagro> I did it .. yes ..
[03:55] <VSpike> jcolagro:  The device support of the open driver is not great.  You may need to use the restricted driver
[03:56] <VSpike> jcolagro: "sudo restricted-manager" should do it I think
[03:56] <jujimufu> I apt-got beryl and all its dependencies, and I tried running "beryl manager", but I got this error: "Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled"
[03:56] <jcolagro> thanks ..
[03:57] <jcolagro> I will try
[03:57] <smoze> hello!
[03:57] <jujimufu> hello smoze  :)
[03:57] <smoze> can someone help me with scp?
[03:57] <fsckit> jujimufu, follow this guide for beryl install: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[03:57] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: universe component wtf?
[03:58] <jcolagro> by the way .. is the vesa driver enough ?? Because it looks working with this driver
[03:58] <jujimufu> ddaedalus: I bet that if I write "apt-get install universe" my command line will go like "wtf, it's huuuuuge!" :P
[03:59] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: hmm, okaaaay ;)
[03:59] <VSpike> jcolagro: it will be quiet slow, and you won't have any glx support I think
[03:59] <mat1980> jcolagro, I guess vesa works, but it could be very slow.
[03:59] <ddaedalus> jujimufu: try following the wiki, might help
[03:59] <Filthpig> hmmmmmm
[04:00] <smoze> can someone help me with scp?
[04:00] <Filthpig> does someone have a clue why I don't get new maps in ut2004 even though I've copied them to the correct folders?
[04:00] <jthomas> has anyone had _zero updates_ since their install of Kubuntu 7.04?  My 7.04herd5 had 20 updates just today, but my 7.04 Final has had absolutly none since I installed it on release day...
[04:01] <jthomas> smoze: whats up?
[04:01] <jussi01> jthomas: it probably hasnt needed any...
[04:01] <smoze> it just keeps whining about everything or does nothing :/
[04:01] <jcolagro> an other question ... regarding the version before feisty fawn
[04:01] <fsckit> jthomas, no, but i have fewer weekly updates than i had with 6.10 so far
[04:01] <jthomas> jussi01: but the herd to have 20 packages today?  as of yesterday it should have been at the same level as my home machine...
[04:02] <jthomas> today the Herd5 install had 20 updates; i ssh'ed into my Final machine and it still has zero..
[04:02] <jcolagro> I had every 4 - 5 sec ..  an system error tell me that it couldn't change the cpu frequency .. introducing a lot of lag
[04:02] <jthomas> smoze: that helps not.
[04:03] <jthomas> smoze: what are you trying to copy, from where to where?
[04:03] <smoze> jthomas: a file to remote server
[04:03] <jthomas> smoze: scp /file/path/and/name user@remote.server.com:/file/to/destination
[04:04] <jthomas> smoze: scp /file/path/and/name user@remote.server.com:/path/to/destination
[04:04] <jcolagro> any known issue ?

[04:11] <aaroncampbell> java can't seem to see my print service.  I get "No Print Service Found." when I try to print.  I tried in jedit and Zend Studio.  I also tried using Sun Java 5 from the repos, and the java that comes with Zend Studio
[04:12] <fsckit> when i put in a cd, would anyone know why when i go to the cdrom directory, i see no files or partial files? is kubuntu not automounting?
[04:12] <jthomas> fsckit: my kubuntu isn't automounting CDs nor DVDs either
[04:13] <jthomas> I've not looked into a fix yet tho :(
[04:13] <_4strO> mine does
[04:13] <jthomas> _4strO: DVDs as well?
[04:13] <jthomas> Video DVDs ?
[04:13] <_4strO> didn't try with DVD
[04:13] <jthomas> mm
[04:13] <jthomas> can you?
[04:13] <_4strO> yep
[04:14] <fsckit> jthomas, no, i have to manually mount
[04:14] <jthomas> fsckit: laaame.  Does anyone know how to fix that?  I've looked into the HAL setup under KDE but it was indeed checkmarked to popup....
[04:15] <_4strO> jthomas: no pb with dvd ;)
[04:15] <jthomas> pb ?
[04:15] <_4strO> problem
[04:15] <fsckit> jthomas, maybe this will work. i'll try it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/95868
[04:17] <jthomas> fsckit: that looks good, let me know... I'll have to test it at home tho; I don't have a DVD drive here at work
[04:18] <fsckit> jthomas, reading so far, the patch seems to fix it. seems a bug in kde and/or hal recent version
[04:19] <jthomas> fsckit: so where is the update?  i've seriously not had a single update on my 7.04Final install... i am afraid that the bugs are outpacing the fixes and that Ubuntu/Kubuntu devs are getting in over their heads! :(
[04:19] <Skrot> Hi, does anyone know of a howto on how to download the source of a package in the repository, patch the source and then build a .deb package of it?
[04:19] <jthomas> fsckit: I am not saying that YOU should be providing this update :)
[04:19] <gnomefreak> !packaging > Skrot
[04:20] <fsckit> jthomas, http://digilander.libero.it/dr_kabuto/hal/ one place i found to dl hal/patch
[04:21] <epimeth> anybody know anything about changing automount settings?
[04:21] <jthomas> fsckit: i can just dl and install those?  all of them?  and that means I wouldn't have to patch the system?  I really would like to have it fixed properly from my distro tho, not add in 3rd party patches....
[04:21] <dfeser> hey all! wich packages do i need to install a particular kernel?
[04:22] <LjL> dfeser: *install*, or *compile*?
[04:22] <dfeser> LjL just install
[04:23] <fsckit> jthomas, i know what you mean. i'd rather have it in an official update but like you said, the devs may be in over their heads
[04:27] <rdallarmi> hi, has anybody in here experience of sasl autentication using authdeamond?
[04:27] <epimeth> anybody know anything about changing automount settings?  I don't want my ipod mounting to /media/IPODNAME
[04:28] <rdallarmi> ll
[04:28] <fsckit> jthomas, just installed the update. working fantastic so far. that's a relief
[04:28] <LjL> dfeser: linux-image-version and linux-restricted-modules-versions should be enough... but it's not like there's that many kernels available in the repos
[04:29] <fsckit> epimeth, have to edit your /etc/fstab file or i believe there's a couple gui apps out there for it
[04:30] <epimeth>  /etc/fstab isn't automount...
[04:30] <jujimufu> which one's better, runit or initng (instead of the old init)
[04:30] <epimeth> I want to change the automount settings
[04:32] <jthomas> epimeth: automount on bootup, or for devices like USB or DVD/CD ?
[04:32] <jthomas> epimeth: automount for devices id a HAL thing

[04:38] <M3phisto> i got a little problem with aRTs... when using it as audio output module in kaffeine, my video and audio are not synch any more (audio behind). anyone an idea (solution)?
[04:39] <andre_pl> does anyone have any tips or tricks for making beryl look better on KDE?  the menu's look terrible and they leave behind little artifacts.
[04:40] <fsckit> andre_pl, not sure what you mean. mine looks great
[04:41] <M3phisto> just tested and my problem (asynchronous playback) is also there when using MPlayer with arts...
[04:41] <trpr> as does mine, although i experience issues with the virtual desktops. i'd like to have a different wallpaper on each cube face
[04:41] <andre_pl> fsckit: looks like its supposed to be a dropshadow around the menus, but they look ugly as sin.
[04:41] <jujimufu> how the heck do I run binaries?
[04:42] <jujimufu> I just downloaded realplayer on .bin, and I tried to run it from a command line and I can't.
[04:42] <Jucato> what kind of binaries?
[04:42] <jthomas> epimeth: not sure and i am sorry but i don't have time to dig for you right now... my own ipod won't even mount with a read/write filesystem (its readonly) and i've not figured that out yet either...
[04:42] <Jucato> jujimufu: are you on edgy or feisty?
[04:42] <kenkku> what package is the user management kcontrol panel?
[04:42] <jujimufu> Jucato: feisty
[04:42] <kenkku> I'm on feisty
[04:42] <Jucato> ah hm...
[04:42] <LjL> jujimufu, AFAIK realplayer is available in Medibuntu
[04:42] <fsckit> andre_pl, either i'm not having that problem or my taste is tacky, looks fine to me
[04:42] <weswh-> I just got a new graphics card and monitor, 1680x1050 screen, running twinview with my old 1280x1024. it's an nvidia 6200, one vga one DVI. when I watch videos full screen on the 1680x1050 screen, there is lots of 'tearing'...when there is a lot of movement especially. doesn't happen at all on the 1280x1024. Any ideas?

[04:48] <aldin> how can i watch usage of only one process lets say konqueror with 'top' or some other command
[04:48] <fsckit> andre_pl, i see. mine isn't that noticeable but could be my color scheme i'm using. yours doesn't look that bad but would look better if your taskbar was translucent like mine

[04:49] <andre_pl> fsckit: under gnome theres nothing like that though, so it seems to me its some sort of bug.
[04:50] <epimeth> Jucato: my ipod automounts to /media/IPODNAME
[04:50] <fsckit> andre_pl, yeah, didn't realize you were running gnome. i assumed kde without looking much since this is kubuntu chat ;)
[04:50] <jujimufu> What packages do I have to download to run wmv and wma video and audio files respectively?
[04:50] <epimeth> Jucato: I want it to mount to /media/ipod

[04:50] <Jucato> epimeth: ah that I don't know....
[04:50] <kenkku> now this is weird. kde-guidance is in conflict with python2.4-iconvcodec. which I don't have on my system?! :S
[04:51] <fsckit> jujimufu, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty see codec install
[04:52] <epimeth> Jucato: do you know where I might find info on that?
[04:52] <Filthpig> epimeth: since you're working for a SEO, can you help me figure out why on earth I can't see my friend's mod in the maps-list in ut2k4?
[04:52] <andre_pl> fsckit: that was a KDE Screenshot.  I have them both installed.  I usually prefer KDE, but Ubuntu';s gnome impressed me, so I stuck with that for a while,  but I miss konqueror and amarok, and some of the customizability of kde, so I want to come back, but theres still a few things that bug me. like this drop shadow. :P

[04:53] <epimeth> Jucato: the word "scoured" does not begin to describe what I did to find it in google
[04:53] <andre_pl> sahin_h: not yet, but i think that's what I'm looking gor.
[04:54] <Jucato> epimeth: other options would be the bigger #ubuntu channel or dare the #ubuntu-devel channel (not really recommended)
[04:54] <fsckit> andre_pl, about all i've ever used is kde. i tried gnome but could never get used to it so linux to me has always been associated with kde. i like to customize ;)
[04:54] <andre_pl> sahin_h: thanks! :)
[04:55] <sahin_h> Currently I'm not using beryl, however If I rember correctly these are "the two options" what you are looking for.
[04:55] <epimeth> Jucato: lol... I just found a solution... I just wanted it for amarok

[04:56] <von> Hello
[04:57] <von> Does someone know the fonts system in Ubuntu??
[04:58] <andre_pl> fsckit: gnome is very much a "just works" setup.  needs pretty much no configuration, where as with KDE I always spend a day or 2 customizng things.  but i end up with something i like better.
[04:59] <sahin_h> I saw some beryl things in this channel today... So here's some news about kwin composite... If somebody interested. ;-)
[04:59] <sahin_h> http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2787
[05:00] <andre_pl> also I find that its very easy to end up with an ugly KDE, but in gnome, the themes dont offer much customization, so they usually look pretty good.
[05:00] <sahin_h> Ok. This will be the future.
[05:00] <NiceGuyUK> sahin_h: noted...
[05:02] <fsckit> gnome seems more like windows so i never gave it much of a chance. but yeah, it does take a while to setup KDE if you're picky like me but it's all worth it
[05:02] <NiceGuyUK> I'm happy using either.  Just gotta learn my way around Enlightenment, xvwm, fvwm and all the other little ones now :P
[05:03] <TheInfinity> moinsn
[05:03] <andre_pl> oh, it also seems that in KDE, I dont get the little window previews when I hover over the taskbar.  anyone know a fix for that?
[05:04] <mahdi> configure panel > appearance > mouseover effects
[05:04] <von> Does someone know the fonts system in Ubuntu??
[05:04] <NiceGuyUK> von - can you be more specific?
[05:05] <andre_pl> mahdi: i was referring to the beryl effect actually. the live window previews.
[05:05] <von> NiceGuy: Yes I want to install ams fonts but they re not in all size
[05:06] <NiceGuyUK> hmm...not sure what "ams fonts" are
[05:06] <von> NiceGuy : I've .afm and .pfb files but not for all size, Do you know how to generate them
[05:07] <von> NiceGuy : AMS fonts is american mathematical society fonts

[05:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iptable - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:25] <TheInfinity> kubuntu has no firewall per default
[05:25] <andre_pl> ok one more question. why do I have 16 viewports when I enable beryl? is that a known issue? is there a workaround?
[05:25] <_4strO> !iptables | ayande
[05:25] <ubotu> ayande: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:25] <ayande> ok i try

[05:27] <bobbi> there seems to be no way to install it either
[05:28] <Yorokobi> andre_pl: what you're looking for isn't called a viewport by beryl ... of course, I don't remember what its called ... its an option or two down from viewports
[05:28] <bobbi> yet my xsession error file tells me i need it
[05:28] <_4strO> bobbi: wich file is it ?
[05:29] <bobbi> 4stro i'll check
[05:29] <Jucato> bobbi: it isn't installed  by default and shouldn't be required anyway. not sure why you are getting errors

[05:31] <andre_pl> Yorokobi:now i have no cube at all. just 1 dektop :S
[05:31] <Yorokobi> andre_pl: the default is 4
[05:31] <bobbi> after the error message i get a load of lines of errors
[05:32] <Jucato> hm..that's weird...
[05:32] <Jucato> it shouldn't be asking for kpersonalizer
[05:32] <bobbi> i can't find kpersonalizer in add remove programs
[05:32] <stdin> bobbi: look in adept
[05:33] <andre_pl> Yorokobi: number of desktops: 1, Horiz & vert virtual size each set to 4. that gives me a working cube but the pager and window manager tell me I have > 20 viewport.
[05:33] <Yorokobi> andre_pl: sounds like a problem with the pager
[05:33] <andre_pl> Yorokobi: also happens when I click the icon in the top left of the window and choose Viewports -> there are 20 options.
[05:34] <bobbi>  stdin i've just had a thought - it might be relevant
[05:34] <bobbi> i installed aptoncd and that seemed to bring synaptic along with it
[05:35] <david__> join  kubuntu-es
[05:35] <david__> o no
[05:35] <bobbi> could that be why its asking for personalizer?
[05:35] <stdin> bobbi: don't think so

[05:40] <rdallarmi> hi, I am having problems in sending mail, I get the error "SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure"  bur I am able to test the username password successfully using authtest. in my smtpd.conf , I havepwcheck_method: authdaemond; I am about to get lost,how can I check authdeamond is actually invoked and with what username/password?
[05:41] <realshiva> rdallarmi: you confused me ...

[05:44] <epimeth> how would I do a search-replace from the command line?

[05:45] <llutz> epimeth: awk/sed or perl
[05:46] <epimeth> how do I use sed?
[05:46] <epimeth> and can I do it for mass files?
[05:46] <bobbi> well i've run through kpersonalizer - nothing needed altering
[05:47] <bobbi> my windows decorations seem to have changed and its reporting i'm running i686
[05:47] <bobbi> i didn't ask it to change my windows decoration and my system is i386
[05:49] <stdin> epimeth: eg: sed -i 's/pattern/replacement/g' /path/to/file
[05:50] <stdin> epimeth: that will replace all "pattern" with "replacement" in /path/to/file
[05:50] <bobbi> i'm gonna try restarting pc to see if it sorts itself out
[05:50] <llutz> epimeth: for mass files use "find ... -exec sed ..." or perl
[05:51] <stdin> or for i in `ls`;do sed ....;done
[05:51] <stdin> there are a few ways
[05:51] <llutz> or this ^^ :)
[05:53] <killermach_> hey all.. I've been using 6.01 and 6.10, and upgraded to 7.04, however a clean install of 7.04, I cannot get adobe flash 9 installed, maybe I don't have the right repository? something else?
[05:54] <stdin> killermach_: what errors do you get? you just install "flashplugin-nonfree"
[05:55] <Jucato> killermach_: flashplugin-nonfree package
[05:56] <dac_> jisao,hi
[05:58] <killermach_> stdin: I only get firefox message that I have to do manual download and there is no .deb on Adobe
[05:58] <stdin> killermach_: have you tried installing the package? from adept/apt
[05:59] <killermach_> in adept manager I search "nonfree" and no flash .. I must be missing a repository
[05:59] <killermach_> can someone check and tell me what repository flashplugin-nonfree is in?
[05:59] <stdin> killermach_: in feisty all repos are enabled
[05:59] <jthomas> killermach_: search for Flash in there...
[06:00] <stdin> killermach_: just try opening konsole and type in "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[06:00] <jthomas> anyone know how to get Kommando working?  i can 'start' it but once I have it set up and click [OK]  then it goes away and I cannot launch it...
[06:00] <killermach_> stdin: hmm.. ok.. this may help, I'm installed from kubuntu_7.04-desktop_amd64.iso
[06:00] <killermach_> stdin: ok
[06:00] <stdin> killermach_: ahh, amd64
[06:00] <stdin> killermach_: yeah, there isn't a 64bit version
[06:01] <stdin> killermach_: you have to do it the "other" way
[06:01] <stdin> !flash64 | killermach_
[06:01] <ubotu> killermach_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[06:01] <jthomas> nope no 64bit Flash, write Adobe a letter like the rest of us
[06:01] <killermach_> Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate
[06:01] <crimsun> killermach_: enable multiverse.
[06:02] <ubuntu> hi, i quickly booted an kubuntu livecd to check a malfunctioning computer, is there any tool for linux to check the hdd's

[06:05] <stdin> not @
[06:05] <killermach_> stdin: ok.. I just built a new workstation Athlon64 AM2 Dual-core w/ 4GB RAM, I installed 64bit kubuntu to make use of all the ram, should I just go back to 3GB ram?
[06:05] <manchicken> stdin: Too many damned bots.
[06:06] <SubOne> stdin: I don't have that menu option
[06:08] <killermach_> stdin: am I going to continue to run into 64bit issues?
[06:09] <stdin> killermach_: things like flash, w32codecs and wine don't run (easily) on amd64
[06:10] <SubOne> How do I active the "Kubuntu Distribution Upgrade Tool", I'm following this page http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.04-release.php but it is not working.
[06:11] <sonic> anyone have any experience with vmplayer and dual boot in kubuntu with windows
[06:11] <killermach_> stdin: hmm.. one of the reasons for the 4GB RAM is to run VMware, Parallels, or Xen, I think I can load FedoraCore6 w/ Xen as 64bit Host OS, then load other OS's in 32bit.. this may be better
[06:12] <sonic> and for some reason my drives are setup as dev/sda  but I am not using SCSI
[06:12] <killermach_> sonic: sata uses sda
[06:13] <stdin> killermach_: just looked about a bit, and 32bit linux can support (up to) 4GB ram, so you should be able to use the x86 version
[06:13] <stdin> sonic: in feisty?
[06:13] <sonic> yeah
[06:13] <stdin> sonic: that's normal
[06:13] <sonic> feisty
[06:14] <sonic> ok cause I know I was IDE / hda for years and now its sda
[06:14] <killermach_> stdin: you are correct.. I forgot about it, a default install only uses 3.2GB, I need to pass kernel option in grub.. thanks :)
[06:14] <stdin> sonic: all (well most) IDE (pata) devices are now emulated as sata
[06:15] <killermach_> sonic: I have an HP Pavillion a712n here also.. it's an IDE drive and fdisk -l, and df show it as /dev/sda
[06:16] <killermach_> sonic: and this HP doesn't support sata or scsi in hardware
[06:17] <sonic> ok, thats prob why Im confused
[06:17] <sonic> cause vmware is having issues loading Windows.  blue screen with hard disk configuation errors
[06:17] <sonic> so I got to thinking that might be a cause
[06:17] <sonic> if they dont agree on my hardware
[06:19] <sonic> killermach: thanks for clearing that up for me.  Im gonna see if the vmware people are around in #vmware

[06:28] <Filthpig> what meny item?
[06:28] <bobbi> before you ask i installed feisty from a i386 cd
[06:28] <SubOne> Filthpig: and the "Network upgrade for Kubuntu desktops (recommended" does nothing for me

[06:29] <bobbi> filthpig: i'm a noob at all this i just don't know

[06:34] <SubOne> 6.10
[06:34] <Filthpig> well
[06:34] <Filthpig> then following the Kubuntu upgrade howto should be piece of cake..
[06:35] <SubOne> Filthpig: Do you think I'd be asking if that was working?
[06:35] <Filthpig> what's the problem, then?

[07:01] <Filthpig> it will restart kde
[07:01] <lori> hehe
[07:01] <Graham> lori: ubotu is a bot :P
[07:01] <lori> jeje .. i have just realized that, he
[07:01] <Graham> Filthpig: No, it restarts X
[07:02] <Filthpig> Graham: yaddayadda :]
[07:02] <Graham> 2 different things.
[07:02] <Filthpig> yeah
[07:02] <Graham> Onto matters, what's a good p2p program?
[07:03] <Filthpig> limewire is supposed to work for linux, but I haven't managed to get it working
[07:03] <Filthpig> !limewire
[07:03] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[07:03] <Filthpig> there we go
[07:03] <stdin> !p2p | Graham
[07:03] <ubotu> Graham: Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[07:04] <lori> filthpig:  try dc++
[07:04] <Filthpig> lori: I'm using valknut, really
[07:04] <Filthpig> "using"
[07:04] <Graham> Other than limewire.
[07:04] <Filthpig> I have it installed :p
[07:04] <Filthpig> Graham: valknut
[07:04] <jujimufu> Filthpig: that was good, only that I still don't get that little diamond on my tray.
[07:04] <lori> anybody from slovakia? :-)
[07:05] <llutz> why don't udev-rules (KERNEL=="tun", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660") affect creation/rights/permission on /dev/net/tun ? :(
[07:05] <lori> filthpig: and? dont like it?
[07:06] <rlj> i'm seeing some weird behavior after i upgraded from edgy to feisty. upon resuming from suspend2ram, my keyboard and trackpad are dead. plugging in a usb mouse or kb works fine though and the computer is otherwise fine. it used to work in edgy just fine. i'm on a hp zv6000 laptop. any ideas?
[07:06] <Filthpig> lori: IF i download something, I use bittorrents
[07:06] <jujimufu> Filthpig: so, how do I run beryl?
[07:07] <Filthpig> hmm

[07:28] <Floojah> i'm very new to kubuntu and i have just downloaded a CD image, and i was wondering how do you make a CD from this?
[07:29] <stdin> Floojah: from windows, or kubuntu ?
[07:29] <Floojah> from windows
[07:29] <Floojah> i'm hoping to put kubuntu on my laptop
[07:30] <stdin> Floojah: do you want some text instructions, or a video explaining and showing how?
[07:30] <Floojah> stdin: video please if it's not too much bother
[07:31] <stdin> Floojah: no problem, Alan Pope has made a screencast to show users how to do this, it's here http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/Downloading_and_Burning_an_Ubuntu_ISO
[07:31] <ashlon> Hi, whats the command to add the ubuntu-desktop to my kubuntu?
[07:31] <Floojah> thank you very much
[07:31] <stdin> ashlon: either install "ubuntu-desktop" from adept, or do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[07:31] <stdin> Floojah: no problem :)
[07:32] <DexterF> hi
[07:33] <stdin> !hi
[07:33] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[07:33] <DexterF> I just installed 7.04 in vmware, installed vmtools, still can't change resolution or have the mouse move outside the vm
[07:33] <DexterF> any pointers?
[07:33] <stdin> DexterF: did you restart after installing vmware-tools?
[07:33] <DexterF> yup.
[07:34] <stdin> hmm, how did you install it?
[07:35] <DexterF> adept. and I just see in the file list, there's only a bunch of files in /usr/share/doc
[07:36] <stdin> DexterF: go to the VM \ Install VMware Tools menu within your virutal machine
[07:36] <stdin> DexterF: then follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware#head-e8a244d2b03ef26f4f9d469dc4e7b729a89147b5
[07:36] <DexterF> tried that, didn't do a thing at all. guess i'll do it old school and mount the iso images that comes with vmtools
[07:38] <jshewey> Trying to set up beryl. Followed instructions on the WIKI. It installs OK. When I run beryl manager, It loads to the tray. No pretty effects though. Do I need to enable something/how would I start troubleshooting? Syslog? xorg.0.log?
[07:38] <max_> slt all
[07:38] <Yorokobi> jshewey: right-click the beryl icon, switch window managers
[07:39] <ashlon> Hi all, whats the command to install a ubuntu desktop?  I have kubuntu
 right click on it down by clock and select window manager choose beryl
[07:40] <DexterF> stdin: duh. didn't see the desktop icon with the vmtools image. ok, thanks :)
[07:40] <jshewey> Ok... now today, beryl-manager does not start when I run it... Hm. It did last night.
[07:40] <stdin> ashlon: either install "ubuntu-desktop" from adept, or do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" (again)
[07:40] <stdin> DexterF: np :)
[07:40] <ashlon> stdin, thanks, sorry i got disconnected the first time
[07:40] <jshewey> Ok. Now it's started.
[07:41] <the_hammer> well im not sure then but if its beryl ya need help with pop into #beryl and ask away in there
[07:41] <the_hammer> wont find to much help with beryl here been there done that
[07:41] <jshewey> Thx.
[07:41] <the_hammer> :)
[07:43] <jshewey> Ok. Looks like it is trying to use aiglx instead of xgl.
[07:45] <blekos> hi i am looking for a *complete* backup program (with scheduling, incremental etc)
[07:45] <jshewey> Use rsync with cron.
[07:45] <Yorokobi> blekos: bacula is another option
[07:46] <blekos> since i am newbie in linux i'd need smg with gui... rsync doesnt have gui right?
[07:46] <ashlon> stdin, do you know the command to get the update for the new kernel?
[07:47] <stdin> ashlon: what version?
[07:48] <ashlon> stdin, 2.6.21
[07:48] <neverblue> im having an issue with an apache install, I have both apache2 and apache-perl, how can I get rid of apache2 AND apache-perl entirely?
[07:48] <stdin> ashlon: 2.6.21 isn't available yet (on feisty)
[07:49] <ashlon> stdin, oh ok  what would be the command for when it is ready?
[07:49] <sparr> [how]  can i make x11vnc ignore the state of my server's keyboard capslock?  [how]  can i make vncviewer not auto-adjust quality based on bandwidth?
[07:49] <stdin> ashlon: it will show as an update in adept when it's out
[07:49] <stdin> neverblue: sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 apache-perl
[07:50] <ashlon> stdin, thank you
[07:50] <stdin> :)
[07:50] <neverblue> stdin, does that remove dependants/dependancies?
[07:50] <neverblue> and .conf files?
[07:52] <stdin> neverblue: it will remove the .conf files, and "sudo apt-get autoremove" will get rid of dependencies. aptitude may do a better job of it tho. "sudo aptitude purge apache2 apache-perl"
[07:53] <LasseP> ff is crashing when I try add bookmark or download file in kde, hawing ubuntu Feisty and installed kde, works fine in gnome any suggestions?
[07:53] <neverblue> stdin, i was thinking that i needed to remove php5, etc as well
[07:54] <stilgar> hi
[07:54] <stdin> neverblue: aptitude may do that
[07:54] <neverblue> i really dont want to mess up my system
[07:54] <neverblue> thanks for the help
[07:56] <Filthpig> huh
[07:57] <Filthpig> what kind of image format is *.uif?
[07:57] <neverblue> lets see if this "maybe" is true then
[07:58] <stdin> Filthpig: some compressed iso format
[07:58] <Filthpig> hmm
[07:58] <stdin> Filthpig: use MagicISO (under wine) to decompress it
[07:59] <Sanne> Filthpig: some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Image_Format
[07:59] <stdin> Filthpig: here's a like for ya: http://filext.com it tells you what apps open what file extentions
[07:59] <pacman> I screwed up...I wanted to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.04, and I was told I had to upgrade to 6.10 first
[08:00] <pacman> so the directions I got told me to change some settings in my sources.list, and that's where I screwed up...anyhow I think I might have to sources.list
[08:00] <pacman> errr....two sources.list
[08:01] <simoux> hi
[08:01] <simoux> i have a problem
[08:01] <Filthpig> !uif
[08:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uif - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:02] <pacman> So anyhow when I try and open it, I'm getting a message that says:  Found a swap file by the name "/etc/apt/.sources.list.swp"
[08:02] <pacman> and it gives me some probable causes...anyone know how I can fix this?

[08:04] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:05] <neverblue> stdin, do you think I would need to remove/reinstall php before I put apache back on?
[08:05] <stdin> neverblue: no, you shouldn't have to
[08:05] <neverblue> k
[08:05] <neverblue> thanks
[08:06] <LasseP> wanted to give kde a try since most apps I uses is KDE anyway.. and it feels much faster
[08:08] <excitatory> hey.. i'm attempting to compile an application, and the configure is erroring with the following message: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!  Does this mean i need an x11-dev package or something?
[08:08] <hakaisou> !repository
[08:08] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[08:08] <stdin> excitatory: yeah, you need xorg-dev
[08:09] <excitatory> stdin: damn, that's a lot of dependencies!  thank you :D
[08:09] <hakaisou> where is the sources file for repositories?
[08:09] <excitatory> hakaisou: /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:09] <hakaisou> thanks
[08:10] <stdin> excitatory: if it's a KDE/Qt app, then you'll need kde-devel too (also a lot of dependencies)
[08:10] <ZachClark0331> AHHHH i cannot install Wine
[08:10] <excitatory> stdin: it's a kicker applet (taskbar-compiz)  so perhaps.
[08:10] <excitatory> yea, you're right.
[08:10] <ZachClark0331> WHYYYY, for the love of god....why isnt it installing right
[08:11] <Filthpig> ZachClark0331: how are you installing it?
[08:11] <jujimufu> are there any filetypes that kaffeine plays and mplayer doesn't?
[08:12] <ZachClark0331> i dont know im new to linux and stuff, i have ubuntu 7.04
[08:12] <ZachClark0331> and i did the walk through and its confusing as heck
[08:12] <stdin> jujimufu: no
[08:12] <stdin> jujimufu: or, not with the right codecs installed
[08:12] <Filthpig> ZachClark0331: what walkthrough?
[08:12] <ZachClark0331> http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Wine&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine
[08:12] <ZachClark0331> and multiple ones too
[08:13] <stdin> ZachClark0331: just do: "sudo apt-get install wine"
[08:13] <stdin> ZachClark0331: unless you are on amd64, then it won't work
[08:13] <Filthpig> stdin: He'll probably have to add the wine repos first?
[08:13] <stdin> Filthpig: no, it's in universe
[08:14] <Sanne> ZachClark0331: you may also read this, for an introduction how to install software in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement
[08:14] <jujimufu> stdin: so, I can remove kaffeine for all I care, if I have mplayer and the respective codecs installed.
[08:14] <Filthpig> are you sure? I had to add the wine repos to get it
[08:14] <Filthpig> the newest ones, at least
[08:14] <ZachClark0331> i get this
[08:14] <ZachClark0331> Reading package lists... Done

[08:15] <ZachClark0331> i try to install steam.msi
[08:15] <ZachClark0331> and it doesnt work
[08:15] <ZachClark0331> how do i get c:\
[08:15] <jujimufu> stdin: can't I just remove kaffeine without removing its dependencies?
[08:16] <zero-red> you can not use MSI fils in a wine prrrogram
[08:16] <stdin> ZachClark0331: Kmenu -> Utilities -> Wine File
[08:17] <zero-red> tary to find a "exe" fils
[08:17] <stdin> jujimufu: kubuntu-desktop depends on kaffeine, so it would be removed too
[08:18] <Filthpig> btw, ZachClark0331, I think you might have to use cedega for steam to work
[08:19] <ubuntu> test
[08:19] <chijin> test
[08:19] <Filthpig> ubuntu: test succeeded
[08:19] <jujimufu> stdin: baaah...
[08:19] <jujimufu> stdin: I'd like to get rid of some of the programs that kubuntu comes with.
[08:19] <arch01> test
[08:20] <jujimufu> arch01: nobody can see what you're typing. Try changing your settings and type again.
[08:20] <stdin> ZachClark0331: open konsole and type "msiexec steam.msi" if it's called steam.msi
[08:20] <arch01> hello how can i ask somebody for help here
[08:20] <jujimufu> arch01: you just ask the question, and if there's anyone who knows how to help, they will help.
[08:20] <stdin> !ask | arch01
[08:20] <ubotu> arch01: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:21] <jujimufu> LOL
[08:21] <jujimufu> who made that entry? :D
[08:21] <arch01> alrite
[08:21] <Sanne> jujimufu: you can remove packages without their dependencies. apt-get does this, aptitude will usually remove dependencies also. The dependants will get removed in any case, however.
[08:21] <arch01> just a newbie
[08:21] <jujimufu> Sanne: thanks :)
[08:21] <Sanne> jujimufu: you're welcome :)
[08:21] <ZachClark0331> is there a free cedega
[08:21] <Filthpig> no
[08:22] <arch01> anyway just installed the new ubuntu...I installed everything but....after i upgraded the nvidia drivers and rebooted i get a reddish black screen
[08:22] <stdin> Sanne, jujimufu: kubuntu-desktop isn't a dependency of kaffeine, kaffeine is a dependency of kubuntu-desktop. so that won't work
[08:22] <Sanne> ZachClark0331: you can install an msi file under wine with msiexec, if I remember correctly.
[08:22] <Filthpig> how did you install the drivers, arch01?
[08:24] <Sanne> stdin: so removing kaffeine will remiove kubuntu-desktop, but that's ok, since it's only a metapackage with lots of dependencies, which won't get removed also when using apt-get.
[08:24] <llutz> jujimufu: always add "-s" to aptitude commands to see what might happen.
[08:24] <arch01> first i installed them when I was asked to enable them from the pop up in the top task bar...then it downloaded I guess the 9631 nvidia files and installed
[08:24] <arch01> but after restart i can only c the black screen
[08:24] <stdin> Sanne: but he'll need to reinstall it to upgrade to 7.10 when it comes out
[08:24] <Sanne> stdin: I was just about to tell jujimufu :)
[08:24] <Sanne> jujimufu: got all that?

[08:47] <tibbar> What is a cool torrent program for kubuntu im using KTorrent atm, but I would like to test other ones too

[08:48] <chemist109> ZachClark0331: I use cedega on edgy.
[08:49] <chemist109> Skrot-: I use k9copy for dvd transcoding.
[08:49] <Skrot-> I'd rather have a KDE app, if there are any good ones :>
[08:49] <jthomas> Skrot-: me too
[08:49] <jthomas> k9copy is KDE
[08:49] <jthomas> and it is a good one :)
[08:49] <Skrot-> Man, you're right
[08:49] <Sanne> Skrot-: k3b is only a frontend for command line apps. Maybe you need to install a dvd ripper? Go to k3b-settings-programs and see if you have anything looking like a dvdripper not installed.
[08:50] <Skrot-> Sanne: Everything is installed, and also the library to play DVDs
[08:50] <Sanne> Skrot-: then I don't know, sorry
[08:50] <jthomas> it can do DVD9 to DVD5 (well, 4.4GB but they call it DVD5)  It can also do AVIs and others...
[08:50] <Skrot-> jthomas: Which titleset is usually the movie itself?
[08:50] <jthomas> Skrot-: the biggest one, numbers change for each DVD
[08:50] <Skrot-> Right, thats all I need to create a playable xvid of it, right?
[08:51] <jthomas> Skrot-: if you want to actually use k9copy you HAVE TO INSTALL MKISOFS and DVDRTOOLS in Adept, which don't pull in with it but really really should.
[08:51] <Skrot-> done
[08:51] <stdin> jthomas: report it as a bug then
[08:51] <chemist109> Skrot-: Did you follow this tutorial? http://k3b.plainblack.com/videoencoding
[08:52] <jthomas> Skrot-: it should be, but test it first!  I have a lot of codecs etc installed so it works for me, but i am not sure what else it may be missing for divx (maybe nothing)
[08:52] <jthomas> stdin: I have, thanks!
[08:52] <Skrot-> chemist109: I'll have a look :)
[08:52] <nuxil> is ther issues with mythtv version 0.20.20060828-3 and ivtv module 0.10.1 ??
[08:53] <Skrot-> chemist109: Does it work for you?
[08:54] <chemist109> Skrot-: I use k9copy.  I just ran across that tutorial.  Thought you might not have all the dependencies or something.
[08:54] <Skrot-> okay :)
[08:54] <neverblue> wow, installing apache2 on *buntu isnt working good on Feisty, or is that just me?
[08:57] <hakaisou> !run dialog
[08:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about run dialog - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:57] <Skrot-> chemist109: This seems to be a bug in feisty actually
[08:58] <nuxil> anyone got mythtv running with a pvr 150 or 500 card ?
[08:58] <chemist109> neverblue: I installed apache2 on a feisty machine recently.  Working fine.
[08:59] <epimeth> suggestions for cd ripping software please!
[08:59] <epimeth> kaudiocreator?
[08:59] <epimeth> neverblue: me too
[08:59] <neverblue> hmm
[08:59] <neverblue> do you have an httpd.conf?
[09:00] <epimeth> don't all chip in at the same time :-)
[09:01] <epimeth> neverblue: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[09:02] <neverblue> epimeth, but is it just comments?
[09:02] <jthomas> epimeth: yes kaudiocreator is what i use
[09:03] <jthomas> epimeth: grip works well too, but its kinda ugly...
[09:03] <epimeth> but its not used
[09:03] <epimeth>  /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[09:03] <epimeth> thats the one
[09:03] <epimeth> the httpd.conf is there for backwords compatibility
[09:03] <epimeth> it is included from apache2.conf
[09:03] <jthomas> epimeth: kaudiocreator's mp3 settings are located in Kubuntu System Settings, Advanced tab... kind of a pain, but once done its all good...
[09:04] <neverblue> but is it just a few comments?
[09:04] <epimeth> neverblue: its totally blank for me
[09:04] <Skrot-> chemist109: How long does it usually take to rip a movie off a DVD on a fairly new machine?
[09:06] <epimeth> I remember 6 years ago it took 6 hours on pretty much the fastest machine available (decently priced, of course)
[09:06] <vinicius_> hi, folks, could anybody here help me use kxmame?
[09:06] <ZachClark0331> ok cedga working good
[09:07] <ZachClark0331> need to find out what to put as the game folder
[09:08] <neverblue> k, thought so
[09:09] <epimeth> when sharing folders between 2 kubuntu boxes, is it better/easier to use smb or nfs?  specifically mounting them through fstab
[09:10] <mat1980> epimeth, nfs
[09:10] <renners> hello, I have just done fresh install of of kubuntu. when I startup Adept it says the package database is in use I get read-only mode... this is straight after boot, no other apps have been started by me! how can I find out what is using the package databse please?
[09:10] <jthomas> Skrot-: takes me about 15-25min to rip a DVD to DVD; to rip to a Divx it takes... hours?  a loooong time, for sure...
[09:10] <llutz> epimeth: sshfs
[09:11] <epimeth> llutz: whats sshfs?
[09:11] <epimeth> llutz: and how does one install it?
[09:11] <epimeth> :-)
[09:11] <epimeth> or use it
[09:11] <jthomas> renners: it may be checking for updates; try either waiting a few minutes and try again; OR try the reboot and don't touch Adept for 5 min...
[09:11] <llutz> epimeth: sudo aptitude install sshfs fuse
[09:11] <epimeth> mat1980: figured as much... but now I'm curious about this sshfs :-)
[09:12] <renners> ok thanks (it should be more informative!)
[09:12] <llutz> epimeth: just needs ssh
[09:12] <jthomas> renners: i'm just guessing here
[09:12] <jthomas> !sshfs
[09:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:12] <epimeth> so, what, is it like scp?
[09:12] <jthomas> heres a great link on SSHFS http://debaday.debian.net/2007/04/22/sshfs-easy-and-secure-access-to-a-remote-file-system/
[09:12] <epimeth> just add the key to my .ssh folder?
[09:12] <llutz> epimeth: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
[09:13] <jthomas> epimeth: its like nfs ot something but its encrypted.  needs password entry tho so its not great to have it automount in fstab
[09:13] <mat1980> epimeth, don't worry, I'm curious too ;)
[09:15] <epimeth> jthomas: thats just it... I'd like to have my music automounted :-)  if I put the public key in my .ssh folder it won't automount?
[09:16] <hbbk> hi is there anybody here to help for an upgrade edgy->feisty ???
[09:16] <epimeth> hah!  second on google suggest when  typing sshfs was sshfs fstab :-)
[09:16] <Filthpig> !feisty | hbbk
[09:16] <ubotu> hbbk: Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Kubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php
[09:17] <hbbk> yes but the automatic upgrader crashed !!!!
[09:17] <epimeth> hbbk: I've seen a few people come in here with problems doing that... I personally would (and did) install feisty from scratch... but thats just me
[09:17] <hbbk> I'm now in command line and did a dist-upgrade with the new source.list
[09:18] <jthomas> epimeth: it may, not sure... i do it to get my home music at work and i'd rather not have it automount, so i never looked into it
[09:18] <Filthpig> hbbk: is kubuntu-desktop installed?
[09:18] <hbbk>  kubuntu-desktop ok
[09:18] <epimeth> jthomas: on the serving computer all I need is ssh, right?  no sshfs, thats just client side?
[09:18] <Defdef> Hello, I just installed Kubuntu 7.04, and I am trying to find out why my wireless adaptor shows as disabled. When i clicked "enable interface" on it, it enables for a moment, then disables itself again.
[09:18] <Defdef> Can anyone help?
[09:18] <hbbk> It is now asking me something about mdadm which I do not understand
[09:19] <dwidmann> hbbk: mdadm is for RAID
[09:19] <hbbk> so I can answer none ?
[09:19] <hbbk> I have no raid stuff
[09:19] <dwidmann> sure
[09:20] <Defdef> Does anyone know how to update wireless device drivers? could that be the cause of my issue?
[09:20] <Filthpig> !wireless
[09:20] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:21] <dwidmann> be right bck ... rebooting into my new kernel
[09:21] <Lynoure> Defdef: would help if you told them which wireless, that is if that link does not help.
[09:22] <Defdef> Lynoure: Where can I find that info? This is the wireless adaptor on a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop
[09:23] <jthomas> epimeth: it needs Fuse modules also; if both are recent (K)Ubuntu then you're ok; read this: http://debaday.debian.net/2007/04/22/sshfs-easy-and-secure-access-to-a-remote-file-system/
[09:24] <epimeth> jthomas: I'm looking into it, but thanks
[09:25] <epimeth> hmmm.. does a directory have to exist in order to mount it using fstab?  or can I have a premount command 'mkdir /media/music' and a postunmount 'rm /media/music' ?
[09:27] <LasseP> oki pasted my FF error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19014/
[09:27] <jovans> hi@all
[09:27] <jthomas> epimeth: i think that'd have to be in a script, run at startup (including the mount command part), rather than in FSTAB... bu ti am not sure...
[09:27] <epimeth> it just annoys me that HAL is allowed to create a dir and automount, but fstab can't do that simple little thing
[09:27] <epimeth> how do I play a music cd in amarok???
[09:28] <epimeth> oh
[09:28] <epimeth> heh
[09:28] <epimeth> play audio cd
[09:29] <epimeth> how do I check if I have ssh2 installed?
[09:29] <Filthpig> hmm
[09:30] <Filthpig> can I mount *.uif in the same way as *.iso?
[09:30] <llutz> epimeth: openssh provides ssh1 + 2
[09:30] <llutz> epimeth: dpkg -l openssh-*
[09:32] <epimeth> llutz: cheers
[09:32] <epimeth> where does KAudioCreator save ripped files to?
[09:34] <llutz> epimeth: "where you told him to do" :)
[09:34] <fulat2k> anyone here running beryl on a dell d400?
[09:34] <jovans> has the dev team an own irc channel?
[09:38] <Defdef> Ok so I narrowed down my problem; the device is disabled by the dell laptop, and I need to find out how to enable the device. usually it is a function key and another one, but i hear that does not work in linux often
[09:38] <Defdef> anyone have any ideas?
[09:39] <fulat2k> umm... if it's wifi, it's usualy Fn + F2
[09:39] <dogatemycomputer> !nvidia
[09:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:39] <Sanne> don't you just love when the asker quits just when you have found their answer. Still, if anybody cares about irc channels for ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[09:39] <dogatemycomputer> what kind of laptop are you working with and what do you need to enable?
[09:40] <Defdef> dell inspiron 1150. the wireless card and drivers seem to all be ok
[09:40] <Defdef> but when i enable the device, it enables for a second then disables again
[09:40] <Defdef> i cant keep it enabled
[09:40] <dogatemycomputer> FN-F2 usually enables/disables wireless cards on the Dell laptops.
[09:40] <dogatemycomputer> the newer series has a switch on the left hand side
[09:41] <dogatemycomputer> did you enable it in the BIOS?
[09:41] <Defdef> i didt know it couldnt be disabled in bios
[09:41] <Defdef> i should check that
[09:42] <fulat2k> if it's disabled in bios, you wouldn't be able to enable it momentarily though..
[09:42] <dogatemycomputer> yeah.. you can enable/disable it in the BIOS.   Its under the mini-PCI card menu.
[09:42] <dogatemycomputer> well..  the software may detect the FN-F2 keystrokes and attempt to enable it..  but you're right..  it should enable and disable via the keyboard and the software should only respond after the card is enabled.
[09:44] <dogatemycomputer> I would still check the BIOS.  I'm not sure how linux might react.  I know I have Suse installed on one of my Dell machines but I installed Suse with wireless enabled at the begining.. so maybe something else needs to take place now?
[09:44] <dogatemycomputer> !nvidia
[09:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:46] <Defdef> found it, it was in the bios, and it was disabled. loading into OS now to test
[09:46] <BloodyTux> HELLO
[09:46] <BloodyTux> how are you guys?
[09:46] <fulat2k> ineresting... somehow it gets enabled momentarily even it's disabled in BIOS :P
[09:46] <Defdef> lol boy i should have thought of that. Thanks for your help Dog
[09:47] <Defdef> hey real quick while I am here, how hard is it to get internet explorer working in Kubuntu 7.04?
[09:48] <Daisuke_Ido> Defdef: i'm going to do two things here
[09:48] <Daisuke_Ido> 1) i'm going to pray you didn't just say that, and
[09:48] <Daisuke_Ido> 2) if you DID, i'm going to pray you're a web developer that requires compatibility
[09:48] <BluesKaj> !grub
[09:48] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:48] <Sanne> Defdef: there's a script for that (not official though), let me hunt for the url.
[09:49] <Defdef> Lol unfurtunately, my girlfriend needs it for a piece of data entry software her company uses
[09:49] <Lynoure> Defdef: http://www.rubyrailways.com/install-internet-explorer-on-ubuntu-dapper-in-3-easy-steps/ could do it for you (haven't tried)
[09:49] <fulat2k> Defdef: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_internet_explorer  i think i used that last time
[09:49] <Defdef> that is not compatable with any other browser
[09:49] <Daisuke_Ido> http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[09:49] <llutz> Defdef: ies4linux, simple, ugly
[09:49] <Daisuke_Ido> Defdef: fair enough, you may live :)
[09:49] <fulat2k> Defdef: hope and pray it doesn't use any activex controls :)
[09:49] <Sanne> Defdef: yeah, that one (too slow...)
[09:50] <Defdef> ok so i found that the wireless adaptor was disabled in bios, i enabled it and loaded kubuntu, but the device still wont remain enabled; even after toggling fn+f2
[09:50] <BloodyTux> how do i emulate win98 in kubuntu? and yes dai, i did say that
[09:50] <Daisuke_Ido> barring all else, vmware with a virtual win2k
[09:50] <Daisuke_Ido> BloodyTux: Wine, except it's not an emulator
[09:50] <fulat2k> or qemu :)
[09:50] <BloodyTux> !qemu|me
[09:51] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, that's a pick-your-flavor thing
[09:51] <llutz> or virtualbox, vmware, parallels or or or
[09:51] <BloodyTux> what's qemu
[09:51] <ubotu> me: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[09:51] <fulat2k> at least if you lots of choices if anyone doesn't work :)
[09:51] <BloodyTux> i need something free i can run reflexive games and byond
[09:51] <Daisuke_Ido> ooh
[09:51] <Daisuke_Ido> if they don't require any 3d acceleration, use a virtual machine
[09:52] <Daisuke_Ido> if they do, i do believe a dual boot is about the only real option, because i don't think they work very well with wine
[09:52] <neverblue> who in here said there apache2 install was working just fine....
[09:52] <neverblue> after i asked you to search for an httpd.conf?
[09:53] <mateja> slovenia
[09:53] <mateja> eh
[09:53] <Defdef> I am new to Linux, can someone explain the difference between loging on as root user, and sudo user?
[09:53] <Defdef> and how to log on as root user?
[09:53] <firecrotch> !sudo | Defdef
[09:53] <ubotu> Defdef: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").  How do I switch through them by pressing Alt+Z?
[09:54] <epimeth> neverblue: mine works
[09:55] <neverblue> hey epimeth and php works?
[09:55] <epimeth> so how do I add genres to lame?  it won't let me encode paul simon - graceland
[09:55] <epimeth> neverblue: everything works... php, mysql, cgi, mod-rewrite
[09:55] <epimeth> all the stuff I need :-)
[09:55] <sparrw> is there a way to make http://*.php open in konqueror as a web page, but anyotherprotocol://*.php open in kate for editing?
[09:56] <Daisuke_Ido> epimeth: what won't let you encode?
[09:56] <Defdef> i want so desperately to get this wireless working, to prove to the fiancee that she can indeed use linux on her laptop
[09:57] <neverblue> epimeth, I hate you :P
[09:57] <Yorokobi> neverblue: its not hard to get PHP working w/apache2
[09:58] <fulat2k> Defdef: anything in /var/log/messages?
[09:58] <neverblue> Yorokobi, oh, good, thanks for putting my mind at ease, but your comment doesnt help
[09:58] <epimeth> ahhh... --ignore-tag-errors
[09:58] <epimeth> now why isn't that there by default?
[09:59] <Yorokobi> neverblue: what problem are you running into?
[09:59] <waltercool> how i can know root password in kubuntu Feisty?
[09:59] <waltercool> i reciently installed and didnt ask me password for root
[10:00] <neverblue> Yorokobi, I am unable to get php5 working with apache2 on ubuntu
[10:00] <mat1980> waltercool, you can't
[10:00] <waltercool> mat1980: so?
[10:00] <mat1980> waltercool, root is disabled, you have to use sudo
[10:00] <firecrotch> waltercool:  use the same password as your user.  You can't login as root.  Use sudo or kdesu (for graphical apps) instead
[10:00] <Yorokobi> waltercool: 'sudo -s' then 'passwd' and set it to whatever you like.
[10:00] <Sanne> !root | waltercool
[10:00] <ubotu> waltercool: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:00] <waltercool> mat1980: with sudo ask me a password
[10:00] <Yorokobi> neverblue: did you create the symlinks between mods-enabled/mods-available in /etc/apache2 ?
[10:01] <neverblue> apache is working (not 100%), and I surf to a .php file, and the browser attempts to dl it, rather than view it
[10:01] <Yorokobi> waltercool: it wants your password
[10:01] <firecrotch> waltercool:  Use the password for your user
[10:01] <mat1980> waltercool, read what ubotu say to you
[10:01] <neverblue> Yorokobi, not myself, maybe the installer did, not sure
[10:01] <Defdef> how do i check /var/log/messages?
[10:01] <Yorokobi> neverblue, probably not
[10:01] <waltercool> i need execute a installation .run
[10:01] <llutz> Defdef: (sudo) less /var/log/messages
[10:01] <neverblue> drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 2007-05-03 12:19 mods-available
[10:01] <neverblue> drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 2007-05-03 12:19 mods-enabled
[10:02] <neverblue> they are both dirs
[10:02] <waltercool> and i press su and error in password
[10:02] <neverblue> not links
[10:02] <waltercool> sudo and error in password
[10:02] <Yorokobi> neverblue: ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
[10:02] <Yorokobi> neverblue: ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
[10:02] <Yorokobi> /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
[10:02] <Yorokobi> all as root
[10:03] <neverblue> then, will i require:
[10:03] <mat1980> waltercool, you have to type sudo <command>, then type your password
[10:03] <neverblue> LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
[10:03] <neverblue> AddHandler php5-script php
[10:03] <neverblue> ?
[10:03] <Yorokobi> neverblue: shouldn't
[10:03] <waltercool> i try now and Permission denied
[10:03] <ovcka27> kdo iz slovenije tukaj?
[10:03] <waltercool> dont ask me more
[10:03] <neverblue> Yorokobi, my /etc/init.d/apache2 restart/start/stop doesnt work
[10:03] <neverblue> i have to use apache2ctl
[10:04] <Yorokobi> neverblue: how did you install apache?
[10:04] <neverblue> synaptic
[10:04] <Yorokobi> and the init.d script doesn't work?
[10:04] <neverblue> and I have not httpd.conf either
[10:04] <neverblue> there is an "apache" in /etc/init.d
[10:04] <Yorokobi> neverblue: its called apache2.conf for debian systems
[10:05] <neverblue> but i cannot do restart/start/stop
[10:05] <mat1980> waltercool, what's the error message?
[10:05] <firecrotch> neverblue, you need to be root to stop/start/restart apache
[10:05] <waltercool> Permission denied
[10:05] <neverblue> Yorokobi, comparing to other users, i am finding that there is an httpd.conf on other ubuntu users systems, its just comments, but there, none the less
[10:05] <neverblue> firecrotch, yes, im well aware of that
[10:05] <mat1980> waltercool, please write here the command you type
[10:06] <waltercool> sudo ./VBoxAdditions.run :P
[10:06] <firecrotch> neverblue: I missed the earlier parts of your problem, so what issues are you having?
[10:06] <waltercool> really (K)Ubuntu are rarely between another distros
[10:06] <mat1980> waltercool, is VBoxAdditions.run executable?
[10:06] <Yorokobi> firecrotch: PHP pages are dl'd instead of parsed
[10:06] <ashlon> waltercool, whats that command do?  i just joined
[10:07] <neverblue> Yorokobi, so its still not working, maybe my apache2ctl isnt restarting properly
[10:07] <waltercool> ashlon: install drivers for linux
[10:07] <epimeth> lets hope I actually stay online this time
[10:07] <epimeth> neverblue: you wanted to ask me something else?
[10:07] <neverblue> epimeth, not atm, have two convos already :/
[10:07] <ashlon> waltercool, should i type it lol?
[10:07] <Yorokobi> neverblue: if you installed apache via synaptic but /etc/init.d/ has 'apache' instead of 'apache2' then you probably have apache 1.3 installed ... *shrug*
[10:08] <waltercool> ashlon: i dont think so... im in virtual console
[10:08] <mat1980> waltercool, paste the output of     ls -l VBoxAdditions.run
[10:08] <ashlon> waltercool, nice, you using vmware?
[10:08] <waltercool> ashlon: and drivers are for virtual console
[10:08] <waltercool> yeah
[10:09] <neverblue> so my Yorokobi I have apache2
[10:09] <neverblue> firecrotch, could you just scroll up to see the issue, rather than me repeat myself?
[10:09] <waltercool> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-03-13 14:35 VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[10:09] <neverblue> so it looks like my php5 install isnt setting correctly
[10:09] <waltercool> is not large
[10:10] <neverblue> can I debug it some how, other than using it with apache?
[10:10] <firecrotch> neverblue:  Dumb question.... but do you have the package "libapache2-mod-php5" installed?
[10:10] <markc> anyone want to know how to set up the new skype 1.4_alpha on an amd64 box ?
[10:10] <neverblue> firecrotch, yes
[10:10] <neverblue> i do
[10:10] <llutz> markc: more interesting would be, which secret spy-functions are in 1.4b :)
[10:11] <firecrotch> neverblue:  maybe try uninstalling it, then reinstalling
[10:11] <markc> llutz: probably zero, the new devel team seems far more open, if anything skypeish can be considered open
[10:12] <neverblue> sure, doing that now firecrotch
[10:12] <jussi01> is there a way i can make the computer stop asking me for my wallet password on startup?
[10:13] <markc> jussi01: there is an option in it;s config to turn it off
[10:13] <neverblue> firecrotch, doesnt help
[10:13] <jussi01> markc: how do I turn it on...
[10:13] <mat1980> waltercool, have you tried became root with sudo su and then exec the script?
[10:14] <waltercool> how i can get root?
[10:14] <mat1980> sudo su
[10:14] <waltercool> O.o... i dont know that
[10:14] <mat1980> better, sudo su -
[10:15] <Yorokobi> waltercool: or 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i'
[10:15] <markc> jussi01: I can't check as I removed mine altogether
[10:15] <firecrotch> neverblue: Then my next suggestion is to remove apache2 and php and all of that, and reinstall both together
[10:15] <waltercool> Yorokobi: I like su... but dont works xD... sudo su works :)
[10:15] <jussi01> markc: I think i found it anyway thanks
[10:15] <neverblue> firecrotch, which i have done twice already
[10:15] <jussi01> !sudo | waltercool
[10:15] <ubotu> waltercool: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:15] <firecrotch> neverblue:  sorry, didn't realize that.
[10:15] <neverblue> i am way past that point
[10:16] <Yorokobi> neverblue: do you have php5.(load|conf) in your /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ dir?
[10:16] <pulaski> hello
[10:16] <mat1980> waltercool, once you are root can you exec that script?
[10:16] <waltercool> seeking...
[10:16] <mat1980> ok, sorry for hurry up you...
[10:16] <neverblue> Yorokobi, how can I test php by itself, without apache?
[10:17] <neverblue> or is that impossible?
[10:17] <waltercool> works!
[10:17] <waltercool> cool
[10:17] <waltercool> thanks u a lot :)
[10:17] <francisco884_>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[10:17] <Yorokobi> neverblue: php somethin.php probably
[10:17] <mat1980> waltercool, I'm happy you resolved your problem. I just wonder why sudo ./VB.... didn't work.
[10:18] <firecrotch> neverblue:  If you have php5-cli you can just do "php script.php" on the command line
[10:18] <waltercool> me too... give me a wrong password and block me xo
[10:18] <waltercool> and... why root doesnt exist?? For a easy use?
[10:18] <firecrotch> waltercool: More secure without root enables
[10:19] <Sanne> !root | waltercool
