[12:27] <Minnozz> what happens if I install screen from a .deb file (it is preinstalled, ofcourse)?
[12:27] <waylandbill> bump: that's what your log is showing though. I don't know if it has been configured incorrectly or what. you may need to enable more debugging in the log.
[12:28] <waylandbill> Minnozz: how does your deb version differ from the ubuntu version?
[12:28]  * corinth is afk.
[12:29] <Linux_Galore> bazzieb: I suspect you have swat but not samba either installed or running
[12:29] <Minnozz> waylandbill: hmm I don't know exactly, but I found on a support site that there is a bug that is fixed now, but in my version it's not fixed yet
[12:30] <d-alone> so I have Asus P5K-vm mother bord + integrated intel g33\g11 grafic card
[12:31] <waylandbill> Minnozz: so yours is a newer version than the repositories. You should be able to install it if the required prerequisites can be installed. when the official one goes to a higher version, it should replace the dpkg installed one IIRC.
[12:31] <d-alone> and i have a problem with screen resolution
[12:31] <d-alone> 1280*1024 is unvailable
[12:31] <waylandbill> !fixres
[12:32] <Minnozz> waylandbill: okay, thanks a lot ^^

[12:32] <d-alone> i have read this article
[12:32] <waylandbill> Minnozz: just don't try to force install it if you do not have the dependencies.
[12:33] <d-alone> and tryied all variants
[12:33] <Minnozz> waylandbill: well, screen works just fine, but there is a bug when I try to reattach a screen from a different user, because there is a / in the command
[12:34] <waylandbill> Minnozz: did you try using \/ to escape the / in the command?
[12:34] <Minnozz> waylandbill: err, not the command, I mean `screen -x user/session`
[12:34] <bump> waylandbill: thats the debug log of my /var/log/error_log
[12:35] <leileilol> cool, ntfs are mounted
[12:35] <d-alone> i tried to fix xorg.conf
[12:35] <d-alone> i tried 915resolution utility
[12:36] <waylandbill> bump: you need to find out why it wants to open a parallel port. I can't say how to do that, but it's closer than you were before. :)
[12:36] <d-alone> i think that i have problems with diriver
[12:36] <bump> ok thanx for ur help waylandbill
[12:36] <ere4si> d-alone: try reading this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943&highlight=G33
[12:37] <waylandbill> Minnozz: yeah. escape the slash with a backslash first if that's a command that's being given to the shell.
[12:37] <Minnozz> okay
 thanks i will try

[12:43] <dexterke> hello all
[12:46] <jurgentje> Hi... I've switched from Gnome to KDE a few weeks ago... and now I discovered that the Update-manager doesn't auto-start... is there an easy way to make sure my system gets checked for required updates using KDE?
[12:46] <seezer> jurgentje: adept-notifier should handle that
[12:47] <seezer> jurgentje: installed the "kubuntu-desktop" package?
[12:47] <jurgentje> seezer: and how do I get that running?
[12:49] <seezer> jurgentje: alt+f2 > adept_notifier
[12:50] <jurgentje> seezer: wait, I'm looking into that... moment
[12:56] <jurgentje> seezer: ... the kubuntu-desktop wasn't installed... thanks :s
[12:58] <seezer> you're welcome
[13:00] <waylandbill> jurgentje: install that and then we'll say, 'welcome to kubuntu'  ;-)
[13:00] <jurgentje> hehe :)
[13:00] <jurgentje> thanks

[13:09] <cybrhuman> Is it possible to mount a folder from a device on a mountpoint?
 i am trying
[13:10] <BobDH> Can Kubuntu be booted from a usb drive?
[13:10] <firecrotch> BobDH: yes it can, though it takes a bit of work
[13:10] <kappa`> I just installed Kubuntu and Konqueror is acting strange.. It just stops loading pages and then works again
[13:11] <kappa`> Is that a known problem with Konqueror?
[13:11] <firecrotch> BobDH:  Do you want to have it basically work like a LiveCD, or do you want to be able to store your settings and stuff?
[13:12] <BobDH> I want to store everything on the drive. I want to use this as my linux distro drive on a laptop.
[13:15] <testare> I am new to kubuntu. Is it possible to dont have a logon or a autologin?
[13:15] <testare> I am the only user on the computer
[13:17] <ubuntu> hmm, isn't there a text mode installer for gutsy?
[13:17] <emilsedgh> testare: sure
[13:17] <emilsedgh> testare: systemSettings->Advanced->Login Manager
[13:18] <Jucato> voicu: yes. the Alternate Install CD
[13:18] <voicu> oh
[13:18] <voicu> damn
[13:18] <emilsedgh> Jucato: hey, how are you?
[13:18] <voicu> ok, bye then
[13:18] <Jucato> emilsedgh: seems to be ok :)
[13:18] <emilsedgh> good
[13:19] <Jucato> (emphasis on "seems")
[13:19] <emilsedgh> oh
[13:19] <emilsedgh> :)
[13:19] <emilsedgh> Jucato: so i hope that things will go better for you :)
[13:22] <cybrhuman> can mount mount only one directory from a file system, i.e. mounting a directory and not the root of a partition to a directory inside my home folder?
[13:23] <Norgur> hi
[13:23] <waylandbill> cybrhuman: you can symbolically link it.
[13:23] <testare> is it possible to have the swap at the same partion as kubuntu?
[13:24] <Norgur> no
[13:24] <cybrhuman> waylandbill: what is it the command?
[13:24] <Norgur> Swap needs another FS
[13:24] <waylandbill> ln -s /source/directory /destination/link
[13:24] <Norgur> (logically called Swap)
[13:25] <waylandbill> (obviously replace the arguments with valid ones)
[13:25] <Norgur> waylandbill, that would be too easy
[13:25] <emilsedgh> why no? i think yes.. mount /dev/sda1 /home/myUser/dir should work i think
[13:26] <waylandbill> emilsedgh: he wants a certain directory in the parition, not the root.
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/    i found driver
[13:27] <cybrhuman> waylandbill: thats correct, looking at the man page now :-)
[13:27] <testare> I didnt make a swap partition on the installation. Can I do this after or do I have to put in the CD again?
[13:27] <d-alone> how can i install it
[13:28] <ere4si> d_alone: it is working ok?
[13:28] <waylandbill> cybrhuman: you'll still need to mount it somewhere keep in mind.
[13:28] <ere4si> k
[13:28] <PhinnFort> testare: yes
[13:28] <waylandbill> testare: did you leave space for the swap partition to be created later?
[13:28] <PhinnFort> testare: you can have a swapfile
[13:28] <cybrhuman> waylandbill: good you told me :-)
[13:28] <firecrotch> testare:  you can use qtparted to shrink your partition to make room for swap
[13:28] <PhinnFort> testare: run "sudo mkswap [filename]"
[13:29] <PhinnFort> testare: then run "sudo swapon [filename]"
[13:29] <ere4si> d_alone: are you using gutsy?
[13:29] <d-alone>  <ere4si>  yes
[13:29] <ere4si> k brb
[13:29] <d-alone> amd 64 version
[13:29] <d-alone> 7.10
[13:29] <waylandbill> PhinnFort is correct. mkswap normally expects device to be a partition, but it can be a file if one wants.
[13:30] <PhinnFort> of course I'm correct;)
[13:30] <PhinnFort> testare: oh, and you should create that filename first
[13:30] <PhinnFort> from mkswaps manpage: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
[13:31] <PhinnFort> firecrotch: does QTparted use resize2fs?
[13:31] <ere4si> d_alone: at that site click the one for gutsy - then the first one under download "766.4mb"
[13:32] <firecrotch> PhinnFort:  I dunno
[13:32] <cybrhuman> waylandbill: sudo ln -st /home/USER/Shared /mnt/sda2/directory ?
[13:32] <PhinnFort> firecrotch: otherwise it could ruin the partition
[13:32] <firecrotch> PhinnFort:  I don't see why it wouldn't
[13:32] <ere4si> d-alone: then download to desktop
[13:32] <PhinnFort> firecrotch: because it's (afaik) unmaintained?

[14:34] <d-alone> have i use the command krandtray only when xorg.conf is away &
[14:34] <d-alone> ?
[14:34] <d-alone> No i look
[14:35] <d-alone> log and 1280*1024 resolution is out if range
[14:35] <PhinnFort> d-alone: krandrtray uses only "XRandr" to change resolution and rotation, while the kcontrol module changes also the xorg.conf, afaik
[14:36] <d-alone> do i need to delete xorg.conf for usinf Xrandr
[14:36] <d-alone> ?
[14:36] <mihai_> Does anyone know why I'm not able to install VLC on Kubuntu?
[14:36] <PhinnFort> d-alone: try just moving the xorg.conf
[14:36] <LjL> mihai_, hardly, unless you tell us what you've tried and what happens
[14:36] <mihai_> It's not listed on my Adept Manager list , not even after updating it
[14:36] <LjL> !info vlc
[14:36] <ubotu> vlc: multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 1134 kB, installed size 3228 kB
[14:37] <LjL> mihai_, is universe enabled? check
[14:37] <d-alone> ok
[14:37] <mihai_> LjL how can I enable it?
[14:37] <LjL> mihai_, i know the terminal way, i don't know the way from Adept. if you want the latter, see
[14:37] <LjL> !repositories > mihai_    (mihai_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:37] <LjL> mihai_: otherwise, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and see if anything's commented out (you can paste it on the pastebin and i'll check)
[14:38] <mihai_> Error: no write permission for file "/etc/apt/sources.list"
[14:38] <mihai_> LjL
[14:39] <jose> thanks for the no help!
[14:39] <LjL> mihai_, indeed, you can't modify it unless you use sudo. for now, just open it for reading though, « kate /etc/apt/sources.list ». you can later do « kdesudo /etc/apt/sources.list » if you need to change it
[14:40] <d-alone> PhinnFort: xorg.conf now away
[14:41] <d-alone> but krandrtray not working
[14:41] <PhinnFort> d-alone: have you restarted X (ctrl+alt+backspace)?
[14:41] <d-alone> yes
[14:41] <vzduch> LjL: no, you can't.. you can, however, do 'kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list' ;)
[14:41] <mihai_> LjL : I found this
[14:41] <mihai_> # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
[14:41] <mihai_> # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe
[14:41] <LjL> vzduch: err yes, of course. thanks
[14:41] <LjL> mihai_: uncomment it
[14:41] <PhinnFort> d-alone: what does krandrtray say?
[14:41] <LjL> i.e. remove the # before "deb" :)
[14:42]  * genii sips a coffee
[14:42] <d-alone> randr: ERROR: Communication problem with randr, it probably crashed
[14:43] <vzduch> genii: why don't you get coffee I.V. yet? :D
[14:43] <mihai_> LjL : How do I do that in terminal?
[14:43] <PhinnFort> d-alone: can you run xrandr in a console?
[14:44] <d-alone> sudo xrandr ?
[14:44] <genii> vzduch: The caffeine IV is for emergency use only ;)
[14:44] <LjL> mihai_: don't. just close Kate now, and run instead « kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list ». change that line, and save
[14:45] <mihai_> LjL : done
[14:45] <mihai_> LjL: Now it works
[14:45] <mihai_> LjL: It's updating
[14:45] <mihai_> great
[14:45] <mihai_> thanks for the info
[14:46] <d-alone> PhinnFort: krandrtray was runing in console
[14:46] <PhinnFort> d-alone: what does xrandr say?
[14:46] <d-alone> PhinnFort: error message that i postes
[14:47] <PhinnFort> the same?
[14:47] <d-alone> PhinnFort: I tried to run it only in console
[14:49] <SpoZen> quick question about nfs, what do they mean by this: server.mydomain.com? if i want to connect to my server can i use <IP_ADDRESS>?
[14:49] <ciacon> hi all - I have a Q - how can I permanently change my ip address??
[14:50] <d-alone> PhinnFort:I dont know what to do... :(
[14:50] <SpoZen> ciacon you mean internet or lan adress?
[14:51] <PhinnFort> d-alone: doesn't it work with that slim xorg.conf?
[14:51] <d-alone> i dont now i will tried
[14:52] <mihai_> LjL : I was able to update Adept's Manager list but I'm still not able to install VLC.
[14:52] <mihai_> LjL: I'm getting the message E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[14:52] <mihai_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[14:52] <firecrotch> !adeptfix
[14:52] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[14:52] <vzduch> ciacon: German Internet providers usually assign to you a variable IP address, i.e. you get a new IP every time you disconnect and reconnect
[14:52] <d-alone> PhinnFort: i now without xorg.conf
[14:52] <ciacon> SpoZen: I had tried ipconfig before, but the address was gone after the reboot and the settings tool from kubuntu fails to change my ip... to be exact i have no ip, till i do this "sudo ipconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> up" - sadly this setting doesn't stay though
[14:53] <ciacon> vzduch: I know that part - that's what I use "ddclient" for
[14:53] <carlos_> jucato
[14:53] <carlos_> about your comment about vmplayer repo, it isn't in gutsy multiverse.. at least here
[14:54] <SpoZen> ciacon: add that line to auto start up
[14:54] <vzduch> carlos_: [15:28:15] < vzduch> it's in the partners repo
[14:55] <chopin> folks ... how can i reinstall gcc?  removing it via Adept hoses my vmware image, and apt-get upgrade gcc does nothign.
[14:55] <vzduch> chopin: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc
[14:56] <chopin> vzduch: ah hah! thanks.
[14:56] <chopin> once my machine stops upgrading itself, i'll try it :-)
[14:56]  * genii makes sure vzduch gets his coffee in an Ubuntu mug
[14:56] <ciacon> SpoZen: is that the normal way of dealing with this?? when I open the ip-configuration tool from kubuntu - i can set the ip (leave gw empty) and click apply --> "The Default GW is invalid."  and the settings are not applyed
[14:57] <genii> ciacon: For dhcp the gw obviously cannot be known ahead of time
[14:57] <trappist> genii: where'd you get an ubuntu mug?
[14:57] <vzduch> genii: hehe.. you better look for a Fedora mug, as I haven't been on *buntu for half a year or so ;)
[14:57] <genii> trappist: the ubuntu store :)
[14:57]  * trappist googles
[14:57] <SpoZen> ciacon: i guess not lol
[14:58] <d-alone> PhinnFort: with small xorg.conf the same situation
[14:58] <ciacon> genii: I don't use dhcp - I have my computer directly connected to an adsl-modem and somthing like a lan-hub
[14:58] <d-alone> PhinnFort: krandrtray dont want to start
[14:58] <PhinnFort> d-alone: can you use the system settings tool to change resolution?
[14:58] <genii> ciacon: Then put the ip of the computer
[14:58] <carlos_> vzduch, what is the partners repository?
[14:58] <carlos_> vzduch, actually i don't know what he meant about "partners"
[14:59] <ciacon> genii: I asked in #ubuntu --> they say mod "/etc/network/interfaces"
[14:59] <d-alone> PhinnFort:yes resolutions after 1280*800 are not available
[14:59] <PhinnFort> d-alone: I've run out of ideas
[14:59] <genii> ciacon: It can be done there, yes.
[14:59] <PhinnFort> sorry
[14:59] <LjL> mihai_: close adept
[14:59] <jurgentje> Hey... I've got a problem with Amarok. When trying to install the MP3-extensions (Adept Batch), it fails (not found or conflicting with other packets) ... is there a way for me to figure out where the conflict is?
[15:00] <vzduch> carlos_: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner
[15:00] <vzduch> the successor of feisty-commercial
[15:01] <mihai_> LjL : I did
[15:01] <LjL> mihai_: then use the !adeptfix, then run "sudo apt-get update"
[15:02] <mihai_> LjL: How can I run !adeptfix?
[15:02] <LjL> !adeptfix | mihai_
[15:02] <ubotu> mihai_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[15:04] <ciacon> genii: I have now commented out the old eth0 entrys "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet manual" and added the following "iface eth0 inet static" "address <IP_ADDRESS>" "netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" "network <IP_ADDRESS>" "broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>".... that should do, right?? how can I enforce theese settings without a reboot?? "sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up" ??
[15:04] <firec> ciacon:  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[15:05] <firec> ciacon:  probably need sudo in front of that, actually
[15:05] <ciacon> firec: thanks ;-)
[15:05] <mihai_> Ljl : bash: !adeptfix: event not found
[15:05] <LjL> jee
[15:05] <LjL> mihai_, look at what the BOT said
[15:05] <LjL> !adeptfix
[15:05] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[15:05] <LjL> ^^^^
[15:06] <mihai_> LjL i tried but nothing
[15:06] <LjL> mihai_, type the following
[15:06] <LjL> sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get update
[15:06] <genii> ciacon: you might want to put the defaultrouter to <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:07] <ciacon_> genii: I don't have a router - only a modem...
[15:07] <genii> ciacon: as firec had, use  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart              to re-init the networking without some reboot or other drastic measure
[15:08] <ciacon_> genii: except, that I lost my conection to the inet it worked fine fine ;-)
[15:09] <vzduch> ciacon_: what exactly do you need the 192. ip for?
[15:09] <mihai_> LjL : I did but i'm still getting the message BREAK (install) when i try to install VLC or any other application through Adept Manager
[15:10] <vzduch> because if you don't have a router it doesn't make sense to assign a private space IP
[15:10] <LjL> mihai_, close adept and try just « sudo apt-get install vlc »
[15:10] <ciacon_> vzduch: I wanted one, that is easely memorizable - and I have 3 computers in my lan - 8 are registered to my wlan - I thought keeping their old ip-addresses might be a good idea ;-)
[15:11] <vzduch> ciacon_: either you're confusing stuff or you don't give us the whole picture..
[15:12] <mihai_> LjL : tells me that is uninstallable... Is there any other way to install VLC? Just download it from somewhere?
[15:13] <genii> ciacon_: If you are using this 192.168.x.x scenario almost always the ip which is routing the 192.168.x.<some number higher than1> to 192.168.x.<some number lower than 255>   is 192.168.x.1 when the netmask is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:13] <vzduch> mihai_: what exactly does it say?
[15:14] <LjL> mihai_: no. i have VLC installed fine on my Gutsy, and i assume you that it *is* installable. please open /etc/apt/sources.list again, and paste it all on the pastebin,
[15:14] <martint> I have lost granting permissions for MySQL. My root has someway lost the permissions and I dont now how to restore it....
[15:14] <vzduch> !pastebin | mihai_, paste the output of 'sudo apt-get install vlc' here
[15:14] <ubotu> mihai_, paste the output of 'sudo apt-get install vlc' here: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[15:14] <firec> martint: didnt I help you with that once before already?
[15:16] <martint> Firec:yep, but turns out the problem wasn't the PWD , but the fact that root lost all its priviledges and I have no other user with "Grant"
[15:16] <mihai_> !pastebin
[15:16] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[15:17] <vzduch> hi BluesKaj
[15:17] <firec> martint:  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html  follow the directions there, but instead of "SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword');" in the text file, just use a query that will grant root all permissions
[15:17] <BluesKaj> hiyas folks
[15:17] <BluesKaj> hi vzduch
[15:18] <martint> firec: grate idea! (how didn't I think of that...)
[15:18] <ciacon__> vzduch: I'll happly tell you all bout my pcs in my flat, but I have the feeling, that it irrelevant..
[15:19] <firec> martint:  Hehe, I didn't think of it either until I read that page again
[15:20] <vzduch> leileilol: are you done anytime soon?
[15:20] <leileilol> vzduch, i just finally handled my fglrx issues
[15:21] <leileilol> i should be good for now :)
[15:21] <vzduch> :)
[15:23] <ciacon__> vzduch: I only wanted to preserv my old ip address this box used to have, before I reinstalled kubuntu on it...
[15:24] <carbon_monoxide> greetings all
[15:24] <BluesKaj> ciacon_ runnibg a ftp or server of some kind?
[15:24] <leileilol> sorry, kdetv gave me a nice hard freeze
[15:24] <leileilol> oddly
[15:25] <leileilol> tvtime works great though
[15:25] <carbon_monoxide> I'm looking for a GUI subversion client which similar to TortoiseSVN on Windo$
[15:25] <martint> firc: worked smood like silk! thanks
[15:25] <vzduch> I somewhat doubt that North American TV programs are worth watching anyway.. ;)
[15:26] <emilsedgh> carbon_monoxide: did you try kdesvn ?
[15:27] <carbon_monoxide> emilsedgh: I haven't heard of this ware. Thanks for the suggestion! I will take a look on it
[15:28] <lovre> hi all
[15:28] <lovre> i have a BIG BIG problem
[15:28] <emilsedgh> carbon_monoxide: take a look.it could be loaded as an external application, but you when you install it you could use it from konqueror.go to your repository by konqueror and go to View->View Mode->SVN Client View
[15:28] <emilsedgh> !ask | lovre
[15:28] <ubotu> lovre: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[15:29] <lovre> i just installed windows XP (kill me please), cuz i wanted to play unrealTournament3, anyway, i installed it on a NTFS partition that allready existed. Now when i turn on my computer i dont get an OS prompt, it just loads windows XP automatically. I cant load kubuntu anymore.  Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[15:32] <carbon_monoxide> emilsedgh: thanks! I'm grabbing it with aptitude now
[15:32] <ciacon> genii: if you have a song that you might know/like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y36fG2Oba0
[15:33] <carbon_monoxide> emilsedgh: but I'm using Dolphin as file manager now
[15:33] <emilsedgh> carbon_monoxide: so use kdesvn externally
[15:34] <lovre> can EasyBCD be used on XP?
[15:34] <vzduch> what's EasyBCD?
[15:34] <lovre> i guess not.
[15:34] <lovre> editor for boot loader on vista i guess
[15:35] <_Angelus_> anyone expiriencing crashes from firefox?
[15:37] <lovre> yes, lost of ppl
[15:37] <lovre> i spose
[15:37] <lovre> and sometimes it wont even start
[15:37] <lovre> brb, gna try this boot loader stuff
[15:39] <BluesKaj> too bad I missed lovre, EasyBCD can be used on XP , to help restore the mbr, after restoring grub
[15:39] <genii> ciacon:HNeh, today because of the weather here I am thinking of the song  "California Dreamin'" - The Mommas and Poppas
[15:40]  * genii sips a coffee
[15:40] <ciacon> genii: like the song?
[15:40] <ciacon> genii: weather is miserable here - and it's about to snow :-P
[15:40] <genii> ciacon: Yes, exactly
[15:41] <ciacon> genii: do you use tor?
[15:41] <carbon_monoxide> emilsedgh: thanks! I'm trying it now. quite good tho
[15:42] <genii> ciacon: I don't use proxy servers
[15:42] <emilsedgh> carbon_monoxide: thanks to its author, but try the commandLine svn client, thats really easy :)
[15:42] <voicu> can i stop kde from changeing the screen resolution? it's set for 1600x1200 in xorg.conf but kdm works in 1024. and it changes the refresh rate too
[15:42] <ciacon> genii: pure interest... i am trying to learn bout it... complex stuff^^
[15:43] <jhutchins> voicu: there's a kdmrc that sets that.
[15:43] <ciacon> voicu: can you pastebin us the xorg.conf??
[15:44] <voicu> ciacon: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46342/
[15:45] <voicu> gutsy has a different xorg.conf than previous versions... i'm used to just tweaking the one i get by default
[15:46] <BluesKaj> voicu, have you tried setting your monitor drivers as well as the graphics card in system settings/monitor&display/admin mode/configure
[15:46] <voicu> blueskaj: but i don't want to use the kde tool because it messes up everything. kdm dies, i can't get to the text consoles...
[15:47] <voicu> i had to boot in recovery mode and delete a lot of garbage from xorg.conf
[15:47] <ciacon> voicu: then make a copy of that xorg.conf and run a reconfigure... then you can try and tweak it - in case you do fail you are still left with a copy (I keep on forgetting to make a copy first ;-) )
[15:47] <BluesKaj> voicu, perhaps you could reset the the optional resolutions in the xorg-xserver file
[15:47] <Minifig> Howdy too all.  Can anyone help me?  I would like to know how to start the .
[15:48] <Minifig> start the 3D cube.
[15:48] <voicu> blueskaj: you mean xorg.conf? because that's the problem. i usually make all the resolution changes in it but now kde seems to know better than me
[15:48] <voicu> minifig: you need compiz instaleld
[15:49] <voicu> *installed
[15:49] <Minifig> I is installed.
[15:49] <Minifig> It is
[15:49] <Minifig> Well, its listed anyways in the menu.
[15:49] <ciacon> !compiz | minifig
[15:49] <ubotu> minifig: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[15:50] <jhutchins> voicu: kde or kdm?
[15:50] <Minifig> Thank you
[15:50] <BluesKaj> yeah voicu , do the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and choose the monitor res ranges there
[15:50] <voicu> how will that help if kde bypasses the settings?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> ??
[15:51] <ciacon> voicu: I used to have the same problem - what I did was backup the xorg.conf and then ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" - that normally streightened things out for me ;-)
[15:51] <BluesKaj> then you have to make sure the Monitor is chosen in system settings
[15:51] <jhutchins> voicu: Are you running krandrtray?
[15:52] <voicu> jhutchins: no, it's a fresh install
[15:52] <voicu> the second one i might add... the first was unrecovarable (for me at least)
[15:52] <jhutchins> voicu: K, sometimes that installs by default is all.
[15:53] <voicu> nope, no randr present
[15:54] <voicu> hmm, brb
[15:55] <voicu> well i did a dpkg-reconfigure and it's still on 1024x768
[15:56] <voicu> shouldn't restarting X be enough?
[15:56] <BluesKaj> ok, go to system settings look for your monitor and configure it
[15:56] <lovre> hi all
[15:57] <BluesKaj> lovre, I saw you rquestion earlier and EasyBCD can be used on XP , to help restore the mbr, after restoring grub
[15:57] <lovre> i booted linux, but now i have another problem, i dont see ntfs partitions anymore. I have ntfs-3g installed.
[15:58] <lovre> BluesKaj: i enabled grub and now i can boot linux, but i dont see ntfs partitions anymore. When linux was starting it reported errors on those partitions. Before installing windows i could see them
[15:59] <lovre> when  i do "sudo ntfs-config" it says "timespamp too far ni future"
[15:59] <BluesKaj> lovre, from system settings or storage media ?
[15:59] <lovre> what does it mean
[15:59] <lovre> storage media
[15:59] <lovre> BluesKaj: storage media
[16:00] <BluesKaj> check in system settings/ advanced/disk&filesystems
[16:00] <lovre> kcontrol?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> yeah, either that or k-menu
[16:01] <draik> What do I need so that I can get firefox to play streaming video? Konqueror is doing is with Xine Player
[16:01] <lovre> BluesKaj: it shows the partitions, but there is no "Enabled" on them, as it is on ext3 partitions
[16:02] <lovre> BluesKaj: should i set "Enable at startup"?
[16:04] <BluesKaj> lovre, dunno if this will help but you may want to install ntfs-config with adept..after installing gutsy , i din't find it necessary but in your case i'd give it a try since you just reinstalled
[16:04] <Jucato> draik: you can choose among mozilla-mplayer (uses mplayer),  kaffeine-mozilla (I think uses xine), and some others I think (like vlc)
[16:05] <draik> kaffeine-mozilla already installed
[16:06]  * genii pops in to sip a coffee and catch up on scroll
[16:07] <lovre> now i cant see anything in Media folder
[16:07] <lovre> :(
[16:07] <lovre> :SSSSS
[16:08] <lovre> im so frustrated. Shit like this allways happens to me, specially when messing with windows shit
[16:12] <BluesKaj> draik, make sure if it's youtube you trying to watch that you have flashplugin-nonfree installed
[16:13] <draik> http://www.kroq-data.com/index.asp#
[16:16] <BluesKaj> draik, what about it, don't see any video streams there
[16:16] <draik> Hmmm
[16:16] <Jucato> emilsedgh: ping
[16:16] <emilsedgh> Jucato: pong
[16:16] <draik> http://www.kroq-data.com/videos/kb/wm-ddwebcast.html#
[16:16] <emilsedgh> Jucato: how could i help :)
[16:16] <Jucato> emilsedgh: "no option for 'select on hover' (emilsedgh)" (krush)
[16:17] <Jucato> there's an option in System Settings (it has always been in the mouse kcm). I think the bug is that Dolphin doesn't follow it?
[16:17] <emilsedgh> Jucato: i talked on #kde4-krush about this, they said that there should be a option for this and currently there isnt, so thats better that i fill a bug report.whats the matter?
[16:18] <Jucato> ah ok :)
[16:18] <Jucato> just asking/clarifying. going through the wiki trying to see stuff I can confirm ;)
[16:18] <emilsedgh> Jucato: exaclty, dev's said that there should be an option for it on dolphin.but np, feel free to remove it
[16:19] <Jucato> emilsedgh: no. not proposing to remove it. just trying to clarify what it is you meant :)
[16:19] <BluesKaj> draik, FF or Konq or... ?
[16:19] <Jucato> er.. "tyring to clarify what you meant"
[16:19] <emilsedgh> Jucato: i think it should be removed too :P
[16:19] <emilsedgh> Jucato: you get kde4?
[16:19] <Jucato> I''ll reask tomorrow
[16:20] <Jucato> er.. later... it's caturday here :)
[16:20] <leileilol> is there a TV screensaver?
[16:20] <leileilol> i.e. screensaver that renders the TV device overlay, optionally with sound
[16:20] <ScorpKing> hiya Jucato! :D
[16:20] <Jucato> hi ScorpKing
[16:22] <BluesKaj> hey ScorpKing , Jucato, emilsedgh, genii...sorry if I missed any regulars :)
[16:22] <Jucato> hehe
[16:22] <Jucato> emilsedgh: what do you mean "you get kde4"?
[16:22] <ScorpKing> hi BluesKaj. ;)
[16:22] <Jucato> ey BluesKaj!
[16:22] <emilsedgh> hey BluesKaj :P
[16:23] <Jucato> genii: could you please pass the koffee mug (the large one to your left)
[16:23] <emilsedgh> 'howdy a;;' :P
[16:23] <Jucato> a;;!! who's a;;?
[16:23] <ternak_wedhus> re: info softwarez for kubuntu
[16:23] <emilsedgh> Jucato: you said you are confirming bugs, so you switched to kde4 session?
[16:23]  * genii drags the uber-mug full of coffee to Jucato
[16:23] <Jucato> thanks!

[16:25] <emilsedgh> haha
[16:26] <draik> Jucato: It didn't record correctly. It was like an image and it only refreshed the areas over which my mouse passed.
[16:26] <Jucato> hm...
[16:26] <draik> !info xvidcap
[16:26] <ubotu> Package xvidcap does not exist in gutsy

[16:31] <patricio> how do I get xy.sty for kubuntu / latex
[16:32] <draik> Jucato: screenkast CLI?
[16:33] <Jack111> apparently superkaramba causes my xorg going throught the roof, sad, was nice feature, when i switch it off all is fine
[16:33] <Stilo> Hi
[16:33] <Jucato> draik: it shouldn't be. it's a KDE app
[16:33] <Stilo> Does anybody know how to repair a demaged pdf-file?
[16:33] <draik> How do I get Katapult to load it?
[16:34] <draik> Can I get Katapult to launch Katapult
[16:34] <goodhabit> draik: Just click on kmeno on it ) Then push alt+space or super+space
[16:36] <draik> goodhabit: It's not in my Kmenu...
[16:37] <emilsedgh> draik: KMenu->Utilities->KDE Launcher...
[16:37] <emilsedgh> draik: or run it from Run Command Doalog (alt+f2 or KMenu->Run)
[16:39] <Jucato> draik: it might not have been added to the menu yet. try running from the command line if it runs in a GUI
[16:42] <invite_> Since my upgrade to gusty i'm having a lot of "little" problems
[16:42] <invite_> One advice : Avoid upgrading !!!
[16:44] <emilsedgh> invite_: ..
[16:45] <invite_> ??
[16:46] <Jucato> emilsedgh: your bug seems to be fixed today :)
[16:46] <bazhang> do you have a question invite?
[16:46] <emilsedgh> Jucato: eh? so remove it :)
[16:47] <Jucato> will wait for others to confirm :)
[16:47] <emilsedgh> Jucato: hm, so you will be there tommorrow? 'yay' :)
[16:47] <draik> I ran screenkast already, but for some strange reason it's asking for my password to the VNCviewer
[16:48] <invite_> Kbabel is crashing with this message :couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:  klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.
[16:49] <Stilo> does nobody here know a program which can help me to repair a pdf-file
[16:50] <invite_> having also a problem with network-manager that has been reported on launchpad
[16:50] <invite_> And so on...
[16:52] <bazhang> I'm the opposite--had to leave because of Feisty :}
[16:53] <draik> Why would screenkast ask for the password to my VNCviewer?
[16:54] <emilsedgh> draik: try screencast from commanline
[16:55] <draik> emilsedgh: Same thing
[16:55] <babeck> Does anyone know how to import the CSV file generated by KAddressbook into Gmail?  When I imported it only a few contacts were imported, and they were imported improperly.
[16:56] <emilsedgh> draik: dunno then, try xvidcap
[16:56] <draik> xvidcap doesn't exist
[16:58] <Megget> Hey guys, i'm new to this whole linux thing, so i will need some help
[16:59] <Megget> can't seem to install firefox
[16:59] <bazhang> Megget: how are you trying to install it?
[17:04] <Megget> bazhag: i've downloaded the program and unzipped it but then i'm stuck
[17:04] <emilsedgh> Megget: try to install it from adept
[17:04] <emilsedgh> Megget: Menu->system->Adept Manager
[17:05] <emilsedgh> Megget: you should install programs using adept
[17:05] <clau85> hello. i got a problem after upgrading from feisty to gutsy. i got a dell inspiron 1501 laptop
[17:06] <clau85> problem is that Xorg acts very funny, I managed to get it started, but it's very slow and stuff
[17:06] <bazhang> possible to add tracks to iPod in amarok? if so, how? Thanks.
[17:06] <clau85> I think that I have to reinstall the ati driver, but restricted-manager also brings some funny (not funny) errors
[17:06] <Megget> emilsedgh: Adept keep crashing for me
[17:07] <onyx> can someone help me i just installed kubuntu 7.04 alternate and when i tried running it the hardware devices will not load...what do i do? thankx
[17:08] <clau85> also at first, Xorg would just stay in a black-screen-mode..
[17:09] <bazhang> Megget: you can install it from the repositories you know?
[17:11] <onyx> after installing Kubuntu, when i start my computer up the hardware devices will not load. what should i do? thank you
[17:11] <patricio> how can I get the xypic latex package? in what package is that in the kubuntu gutsy repo?
[17:11] <Dr_willis> Hmm.
[17:11] <Dr_willis> !find xypic
[17:11] <ubotu> File xypic found in texmacs
[17:12] <Dr_willis> patricio,  it may be in texmacs package it seems.. :)
[17:12] <patricio> Dr_willis: how did you find that out?
[17:12] <patricio> could be helpful if I search a package that way another time
[17:12] <clau85> anyone an idea, or point me to some wiki or forum or whatever? :)
[17:13] <Megget> bazhang: I'm really a newbie, so how do i do it from repositories?
[17:13] <Dr_willis> patricio,  the bot has a !find command.
[17:13] <Dr_willis> you could of used 'apt-cache search THINGTOSEARCHFOR' also
[17:13] <Dr_willis> also theres 'apt:/' in a konqueror window to search the pacakges
[17:14] <bazhang> Megget: you can do it via the graphical installer, or via the command line; both are equally easy
[17:14] <patricio> Dr_willis: I tried with adept manager, but nothing came up there
[17:14] <bazhang> Megget: the graphical installer is adept, and the command line is Konsole
[17:15] <bazhang> Megget: in the graphical installer, you search for the package you want then install, in the command line you use this: sudo apt-get install firefox followed by your password
[17:17] <onyx> if i installed kubuntu and when i startup the computer the hardware devices will not load, what should i do?
[17:17] <ubuntu> hellow
[17:18] <bazhang> Megget: is that sufficiently clear? Let me know if there is anything you need help with
[17:20] <Megget> bazhang: thank's, but do i need to put the files in a certain directory to run install from the command line?
[17:21] <genii> Megget: The package manager handles which files it needs to goget and install
[17:23] <nsh> yo
[17:23] <nsh> what do i need to listen to .asx streams?
[17:23] <Megget> tried form the console but it says i "dpkg was interrupted"
[17:27] <bazhang> Megget: well, this way makes it unnecessary to download stuff from outside sites--they are from the kubuntu/ubuntu software repositories (also known as repos) and thus well integrated into the overall software (mostly).
[17:27] <bazhang> Megget: so that file you downloaded can be thrown away.
[17:27] <jhutchins> onyx: Which hardware?
[17:27] <onyx> it says hardware devices
[17:28] <jhutchins> Then what?
[17:28] <Megget> bazhang: Have to go, but thanks for your help, i'm sure i will be back for more :P
[17:29] <bazhang> Megget: no worries :}
[17:30] <onyx> bazhang: as it boots up i go to the recovery mode boot and then when the diagnostics starts to go through, then it says checking hardware devices...and freezes up
[17:31] <onyx> bazhang: well not freezes but it just never completes it
[17:32] <bazhang> onyx: could you tell me a bit more? what was the initial problem? is this a new install? jhutchins was asking about that, and he knows waaayy more than me :}
[17:32] <nsh> HAZ QUEZSHUN: is there a good linux sound equaliser program?
[17:33] <BluesKaj> nsh for audio input or existing files?
[17:33] <onyx> bazhang: i installed kubuntu 7.04 and the setup went through with a partitioned hard drive so i still have vista
[17:33] <bazhang> nsh: no need for the caps; for asx files or something else
[17:33] <coreymon77> nsh: okay, a few things, no need for the lolspeak, english works fine, two, no need for caps either
[17:33] <nsh> make relax! for audio. just something graphical to change the frequency levels
[17:34] <bazhang> onyx: you just installed feisty? so it is a fresh install, correct?
[17:35] <onyx> bazhang: correct
[17:35] <BluesKaj> nsh, what player cuz amarok has a nice eq built in
[17:35] <bazhang> onyx: any reason for Feisty instead of the latest?
[17:35] <nsh> well, i was kinda thinking there might be something that sits between the audio player and the sound system (alsa or whatever)
[17:35] <nsh> because that would be a logical seperation of functions
[17:36] <nsh> but whaddoiknow. i'm just some newb who doesn't know how the rules about irc pidgin usage
[17:36] <onyx> bazhang: it had problems with trying to install 7.10, it had a "disk error" i tried it several times as well
[17:37] <bazhang> onyx: this was from the livecd or the alternate cd? Gutsy is really a superior product to Feisty in nearly every department
[17:40] <onyx> bazhang: it was the alternate, i also had problems with the livecd
[17:42] <clau85> ok, new sympthom: after installing ati fglrx drivers, and using the xorg.conf file that worked on feisty, I now only get a black screen when starting X
[17:43] <onyx> bazhang: any ideas or do i need to recalect more?
[17:43] <bazhang> onyx: is there a safe mode in Feisty you can try to start up in? There is in gutsy, been awhile since I used Feisty
[17:46] <onyx> bazhang: its a recovery mode and it goes through the diffent verifications of that and when it comes up to checking hardware divices it just continues attempting to check them but doesn't finish
[17:47] <DreadKnight666> test
[17:47] <bazhang> onyx: I'm probably not the best person to ask for this as I had tons of problems with Feisty as well--thus my questions about not using Gutsy
[17:52] <Dr_willis> gutsy added that 'bullet proof X' thing. (but that never worked very well for me.
[17:52] <onxy> bazhang: sorry had a little mishap... did you get my last insert?
[17:53] <clau85> no one?
[17:53] <XBehave> how do i killall sound stuff? do i need to kill all programs or can i just kill artsd
[17:53] <bazhang> onyx: about recovery mode? then yes--was wondering if Feisty has a safe mode ala Gutsy
[17:53] <bazhang> clau85: missed your question what is it?
[17:54] <clau85> after upgrading to gutsy and after installing ati fglrx drivers, and using the xorg.conf file that worked on feisty, I now only get a black screen when starting X
[17:54] <XBehave> is there a way to list whats using a module?
[17:54] <clau85> don't knwow where to search for further info
[17:55] <bazhang> clau85: dist-upgrade?
[17:55] <clau85> bazhang: yep
[17:55] <onxy> bazhang: yes it does, and either if i try running it in safe mode or normanlly it will not load all the way, it just stops and stays at that point
[17:55] <Dr_willis> clau85,  to get X back working   you could edit the /etc/X11/xorg.xconf and chaange the driver back to 'ati' from 'fglrx'  But thats not going to give you full speed on X.
[17:56] <clau85> I did that and not only it's slow, it's awful, some parts black, some not displayed proerbly
[17:56] <clau85> *properly
[17:56] <bazhang> onyx: what computer, wired or wireless
[17:58] <onxy> bazhang: laptop hp pavilion dv6000, amd turion64x2 processor, nvidia intergated graphics card, and an intergrated broadcom. wireless card
[17:59] <bazhang> onyx: are you connected via ethernet or wireless as you startup
[18:00] <onxy> bazhang: you mean when i installed the os?
[18:01] <bazhang> onyx: when you startup now, in kubuntu, are you connected via ethernet or wireless
[18:02] <onxy> bazhang: no im in vista i cannot get kubuntu to finish the start up
[18:03] <bazhang> onyx:  it has never booted up after the install? did the livecd show any problems? were you able to connect to the internet while in livecd mode?
[18:04] <onxy> bazhang: no i am a first time user of linux.
[18:05] <bazhang> onyx: do you have a livecd around? of either Feisty or Gutsy (preferably the second)
[18:07] <onxy> i believe i have the gusty livecd, but whenever i tried loading that one it would come up and have the kubuntu menu of install, install in safe graphics mode, etc. and once i pushed enter an error popped up and said disk error
[18:09] <bazhang> onyx: if it is the livecd, it allows you to try it without installing--the first option should be that--are you certain that it's not the alternate cd? In any event, with either livecd have you tried without installing? and and been able to connect to the internet for example
[18:09] <bazhang> -and
[18:11] <onxy> bazhang: no i have not had that experience upon my computer, neither trying it or connecting to the internet in linux, from my computer
[18:12]  * bobesponja is away: Gone away for now.
[18:12] <bazhang> onyx: I suspect that the problem is that you have the alternate cd--did you download the cd and burn it yourself or other?
[18:12] <surgy> !beryl
[18:12] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[18:12] <surgy> !compiz
[18:12] <onxy> bazhang: yes i did burn it myself
[18:13] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[18:13] <onxy> ?
[18:13] <bazhang> onxy: there may be an issue with the cd, or oh he left
[18:14] <onxy> im here
[18:15] <onxy> bazhang: so do you want me to try and get gusty livecd and then install over the partition of 7.04
[18:16] <bazhang> onxy: no, just run it in live mode and see if you can connect to the internet via it
[18:16] <onxy> ok
[18:17] <bazhang> onxy: do you have another connection you can log in on, so that I can help walk you through this, or is this it?
[18:18] <onxy> i have my desktop i will have to sign out for a min and get the stuff ready so i can talk to you from there
[18:21] <DreadKnight666> is there any way to have konversation in the systray so i can minimize it there?
[18:22] <DreadKnight666> oh.. i found the settings.. thanks anywya :)
[18:22] <jpatrick> DreadKnight666: oh, beat me to it... :)
[18:23]  * bobesponja_ is back.
[18:23] <onxy> bazhang: i have to install mirc on the desktop real quick
[18:23] <jhutchins> nsh: You still there?
[18:23]  * bobesponja is away: Gone away for now.
[18:24] <DreadKnight666> xD
[18:24] <Dr_willis> mIRC - Ick. :)
[18:24] <jpatrick> !away > bobesponja
[18:24]  * bobesponja_ is back.
[18:24] <jpatrick> !away > bobesponja_
[18:24] <jpatrick> (in case the other nick didn't get it)
[18:24] <Dr_willis> :)
[18:25] <onxy> bazhang: what is the difference in the livecd and the alternate?
[18:26] <jhutchins> onxy: Alternate allows more options for dealing with unsupported hardware; text-based install rather than GUI.
[18:26]  * nsh all kinds of here
[18:26] <suppaman> hi
[18:27] <onxy> jhutchins: what is GUI?
[18:27] <suppaman> when trying to connect via ssh using a  newly created account I get a :
[18:27] <suppaman> Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator
[18:27] <jhutchins> nsh: For some reason it seems most players in linux have their own EQ, and I don't think I've seen a separate one that goes "between" the player and the mixer.
[18:27] <suppaman> onxy: Graphic User Interface
[18:27] <suppaman> onxy: so the right answer is "an acronym"
[18:27] <bazhang> onxy: a couple of differences--the main one being that the livecd can show you a desktop without installing
[18:27] <nsh> jhutchins, yeah, i guessed as much. might be a good project for someone
[18:28]  * nsh would do it but has 1/aleph0 skills in the code
[18:28] <jhutchins> nsh: The mixer usually is a direct interface to the controls in the card and driver themselves, and they don't usually have an EQ.
[18:28]  * nsh nods
[18:29] <nsh> i suppose it depends on how the sound architecture works internally
[18:29] <M1th> hi all!
[18:29] <nsh> i mean, it's reasonably trivial to split a sound stream into frequency bands and then apply volume reduction to each individually
[18:30] <onxy> bazhang: how big should the live cd be?
[18:30] <nsh> but it's where in the process you do it without causing delays or requiring access to the realtime clock-mejiggie
[18:30] <bazhang> onxy: in terms of MB? close to 700 iirc
[18:31] <onxy> ok good so let me switch computers and i will be ready.
[18:31] <jhutchins> nsh: Which is probably why it's either built in to most players or is a plugin.
[18:32] <nsh> aye
[18:32] <nsh> ah well
[18:32] <nsh> s'no biggie
[18:32] <nsh> i suppose the real audiophiles have hardware eq's in their superdolla mixer desks
[18:34] <jhutchins> nsh: What player do you use?
[18:34] <onyx> bazhang: ok im ready when you are
[18:34] <nsh> mplayer at the moment. xmms if i want some gooey
[18:34] <Webbmaster> dolphin is behaving strangely
[18:34] <jhutchins> nsh: Both have eq's.
[18:34] <bazhang> onyx: have you started up the livecd?
[18:34] <Webbmaster> in the status bar, when no file is selected, it always names this same file
[18:35] <onyx> bazhang: no do i reboot?
[18:35] <onyx> bazhang: and start from disk?
[18:35] <nsh> jhutchins, yeah. found it after i asked. thanks though man
[18:35] <bazhang> onyx: put the disk in the disk drive and start from the disk--you may need to adjust the bios to choose the cd/dvd drive first
[18:36] <onyx> the bios is setup to run cd/dvd as priority boot
[18:36] <bazhang> kay, then go to it onyx
[18:39] <bitbyte> can anyone point me to a document somewhere for setting up php5 under apache2 in Gutsy Gibbon please?
[18:39] <onyx> bazhang: when the the gusty menu appears what option do i choose to test gutsy?
[18:40] <bazhang> onyx: the top one is run or install (can't remember precise wording)
[18:41] <onyx> bazhang: ok "start or install Kubuntu"
[18:41] <bazhang> onyx: that is the one
[18:42] <onyx> bazhang: it already messed up a small box popped up saying: I/O error  error reading boot cd
[18:43] <onyx> bazhang: so that would be the cd i made correct?
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Thats not a good sign.
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Sounds like a bad cd to me.
[18:43] <bazhang> onyx: then it is likely either faulty media (quality issue), the burn speed you burned the iso at, or some problem with the iso--which can be verified by checking the md5 sum
[18:45] <onyx> bazhang: md5 sum can be checked where?
[18:45] <surgy> in comp-fusion it seams like adept is minimised and wont close
[18:45] <Webbmaster> can anyone help me with dolphin acting wierd?
[18:45] <bazhang> onyx: where did you get the cd from? the official website, a torrent or other
[18:46] <onyx> bazhang: i aquired the cd from the official website so that leaves user error in creating the cd
[18:47] <BluesKaj> nsh, have looked into the possibilty of linux software for your soundcard , especially if you have a pci card that comes with software for windows ..some of these have optional eqs ...maybe an equivalent is available in linux
[18:47] <nsh> BluesKaj, ah, that's a good idea
[18:47] <bazhang> onyx: that seems likely--probably cd quality or burn speed, which should be fairly low iirc
[18:48] <jhutchins> ah! New fon arrived yesterday.
[18:49] <onyx> bazhang: so i shall reburn it then.
[18:49]  * nsh will wait til he updates his distroteque, which is long overdubious but predicated on laptop and its pretty little dvd-writher aquiescing from the unfortunate incident of the upended water glass
[18:49] <nsh> (in layman's terms)
[18:50] <nsh> wait, convalescing? probably that one
[18:50] <BluesKaj> nsh, uhoh :)
[18:50] <bazhang> onyx: I have to run out for a while--work related--I shall be back, but there are many other people here who can help while I am gone. Hope to hear from you later :}
[18:50] <nsh> yah
[18:51] <nsh> annoying thing is had just come back from the manufacturer's from being repaired
[18:51] <nsh> but i don't think the warranty covers acts of clod
[18:51] <onyx> bazhang: thankyou for that help very much
[18:51] <jhutchins> onyx: Before you reburn, make sure of the md5sum of the downloaded iso.  They can get corrupted in transfer or (more often) cut off a bit before the end, which throws them off badly.
[18:52] <jhutchins> onyx: the site where you downloaded it will have the md5sum to compare.
[18:52] <onyx> i got it from the kubuntu download mirror
[18:53] <jhutchins> onyx: No guarantee that it's correct, check it.
[18:53] <DreadKnight666> how do i block people in kopete?
[18:53] <DreadKnight666> :(
[18:53] <onyx> jhutchins: where do i check the md5sum?
[18:53] <jhutchins> onyx: The other thing you can do is check the md5sum of the actual CD once it's burned, but usually it's easier to tell your burner software to verify it.
[18:53] <jhutchins> onyx: md5sum <filename>.iso, and download the md5sum.txt from the web site.
[18:54] <jhutchins> Or to verify the CD, md5sum /dev/<cd>
[18:54] <jhutchins> The CD should have the same md5sum as the iso.
[18:59] <onyx> jhutchins: so right now...as of last night i installed fiesty, and the os installed, but when i tried booting it, it will freeze up
[19:03] <onyx> jhutchins: what do you think?
[19:05] <onyx> what does it mean when in the bootup safemode, says drivers are unmounted
[19:10] <Radi01> Personally: I would download gutsy and burn it at a slow speed and then install it.
[19:10] <onyx> perfect i am in the process of do that
[19:11] <Radi01> You will thank yourself.
[19:12] <onyx> yeah fiesty wouldn't unmout the drivers after the os was installed
[19:14] <Tm_T> hi kids

[19:35] <popdog123> i've just installed kubuntu 7.10 and i tried to play a song with amarok and it said that i don't have a codec(the song was mp3)
[19:36] <r0y4l> hi guys! does anyone know why i don't have "xmms" support in my media control applet?
[19:36] <Radi01> libxzine-1-ffmpeg
[19:36] <ardchoille> popdog123: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
[19:36] <popdog123> thanks
[19:37] <puppetmaster> hi everyone
[19:37] <popdog123> by the way
[19:37] <popdog123> has anyone tested kde 4 rc1?
[19:37] <puppetmaster> My boot screen doesn't work
[19:37] <Kohlrabi> puppetmaster: you mean kdm/gdm?
[19:37] <puppetmaster> and it give me a messege when I choose kubuntu from the grub menu
[19:37] <puppetmaster> and then after that
[19:38] <puppetmaster> it comes this messege: Sunc. out of range
[19:38] <jpatrick> popdog123: there should be an install codec button or something
[19:38] <jpatrick> r0y4l: because kde doesn't support xmms
[19:38] <puppetmaster> Sync. out of range
[19:39] <r0y4l> jpatrick: hm no way to get it working?
[19:39] <ScorpKing> !usplash

[19:39] <r0y4l> hm
[19:39] <puppetmaster> So anyone
[19:39] <ScorpKing> !find kde-xmms
[19:39] <genii> I'm tempted to tell you to get a better monitor. But failing that, edit xorg.conf and put in the proper horizontal and vertical rates your monitor supports.
[19:40] <ubotu> Package/file kde-xmms does not exist in gutsy

[19:40] <ScorpKing> oh ok
[19:40] <r0y4l> there's no suitable theme
[19:40] <r0y4l> my panel is very small
[19:41] <r0y4l> no theme fits to my panel :(
[19:41] <ScorpKing> it's easy to make themes
[19:41] <r0y4l> hm y?
[19:41] <ScorpKing> i made one. ;)
[19:41] <r0y4l> hm
[19:41] <genii> puppetmaster: I'm tempted to tell you to get a better monitor. But failing that, edit xorg.conf and put in the proper horizontal and vertical rates your monitor supports.
[19:41] <ardchoille> r0y4l: There's an xmms applet for kicker. Do this: apt-cache search xmms | grep kde
[19:42] <genii> Look up the specs from the manufacturer or so on
[19:42] <ScorpKing> r0y4l: the themes are in /usr/share/apps/xmms-kde/
[19:42] <jhutchins> r0y4l: Why not just make your panel bigger?
[19:42] <ardchoille> r0y4l: nvm, you seem to have found it while I was searching
[19:43] <r0y4l> jhutchins: hm no place for makeing it bigger ;-)
[19:43] <DM|> wow... KDE is not at all VNC friendly
[19:43] <r0y4l> ScorpKing: i'll try that
[19:43] <puppetmaster> ok
[19:43] <ScorpKing> r0y4l: there's a .rc (settings) file and a .tgz (graphics) file for every theme
[19:43] <r0y4l> ok
[19:44] <ScorpKing> DM|: why? it works for me :P
[19:44] <DM|> ScorpKing tried on two diff machines, gives me Xerrors, feisty and gutsy
[19:44] <DM|> bad errors, freezes up for a sec too
[19:44] <ScorpKing> what are the errors?
[19:44] <davidbunny> hey people .. i got some problems with my wireless card in my notebook ... it is a broadcom ...can anybody help me??

[19:45] <remotechief_311> Is it possible to install Adobe Photoshop Elements (DVD) with wine?
[19:45] <DM|> ScorpKing although.. its has no problems with ssh
[19:45] <Kohlrabi> davidbunny: I "fixed" my wifi-problems by upgrading to 7.10, but your mileage may vary :\
[19:46] <ScorpKing> davidbunny: if you don't find anything come back here. a few guys, including myself, has a broadcom card
[19:46] <ubuntu__> hi there
[19:47]  * ScorpKing gives ubotu a tripple vodka and hopes it will help..
[19:47] <davidbunny> ok .... thanks guys !!! I will try to configure it
[19:47] <ubuntu__> I am having a problem to install kubuntu 7.10
[19:47] <ScorpKing> which is?
[19:47] <ubuntu__> It seems that I have a problem with the installer
[19:48] <ubuntu__> when I click on the installer, It does not open
[19:48] <ScorpKing> how much ram do you have?
[19:48] <ubuntu__> 512
[19:49] <ScorpKing> ah. thats enough
[19:49] <ScorpKing> try to start it from konsole
[19:49] <ubuntu__> I am running it on a P4 2Ghz
[19:52] <Radi01> Did it boot from the cd or did you boot then click on icon.
[19:52] <ubuntu__> nobody to help me?
[19:53] <ubuntu__> I am using the livecd now
[19:53] <jhutchins> ubuntu__: There is an alternative install CD which you may need, but it should work.  Did you burn the CD yourself?
[19:53] <ubuntu__> yes
[19:54] <ScorpKing> i'm not sure what the cli command is for the installer
[19:54] <DM|> FFS
[19:54] <rohan> a strange and weird problem is occurring .. in kde system settings i can't get into the administrator mode of any module
[19:54] <rohan> date and time, user manager, login manager etc
[19:54] <DM|> installing kubuntu-desktop borked ALL of my VNC
[19:54] <ardchoille> ubuntu__: Open a terminal and run the installer to see if there is any error output: ubiquity
[19:54] <ubuntu__> I burnt it at speed 8
[19:54] <rohan> neither from kcontrol
[19:54] <jhutchins> ubuntu__: Did you verify the burn, and did you verify the md5sum of the iso you downloaded?
[19:54] <ubuntu__> yes
[19:54] <rohan> no error message is shown, just i get back to the same page non-admin privs one
[19:54] <ubuntu__> the live cd is working fine
[19:54] <ubuntu__> I am just using it now
[19:54] <jhutchins> ubuntu__: Not entirely true, as the installer is part of the live CD.
[19:55] <remotechief_311> I must have a driver for a PCMCIA to USB 2.0 - Card (Kubuntu Gutsy)
[19:55] <genii> rohan: Are you trying to access it from the default first user that was made when you installed ? eg: does that user have sudo rights
[19:55] <Radi01> rohan:  is it a new install?
[19:55] <rohan> also can someone please show me the output of cat /etc/timezone ?
[19:55] <ScorpKing> i tried  to install 7.10 on a box today but the installer wouldn't start. so same problem here
[19:55] <rohan> genii: yes, the user has sudo privs and i've edited sudoers to add nopasswd for myself
[19:55] <rohan> Radi01: fresh install, been using it from a month or so
[19:56] <rohan> problem occurred recently only
[19:56] <Radi01> k
[19:56] <ubuntu__> what should i write to run the installer from terminal?
[19:56] <jhutchins> rohan: Have you rebooted?
[19:56] <rohan> jhutchins: should i ? :o
[19:56] <Radi01> lol yes
[19:56] <jhutchins> rohan: Sometimes timestamps get out of sync.
[19:56] <ardchoille> ubuntu__: ubiquity
[19:56] <rohan> also, can somone please show me their /etc/timezone file ? here it is - $ cat /etc/timezone
[19:56] <rohan> User defined
[19:56] <rohan> i think it should be Asia/Calcutta for me ..
[19:57] <ubuntu__> I wrote but nothing
[19:57] <DM|> Whats the command to uninstall KDE? its  borked everything
[19:57] <rohan> what could've changed it to "User Defined"
[19:57] <DM|> !removekde
[19:57] <ubotu> Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help
[19:57] <ScorpKing> rohan: Africa/Johannesburg on this box
[19:57] <rohan> DM|: do you mean the menus etc ?
[19:57] <ubuntu__> it try to run and then nothing
[19:57] <ubuntu__> no eror output
[19:57] <rohan> ScorpKing: omfg .. something _really_ weird is happening
[19:57] <DM|> rohan i mean all of KDE
[19:57] <jac0b-work> can anyone recommend a linux compatible print server
[19:58] <rohan> DM|: no, i mean what did it bork ? the menus ?
[19:58] <DM|> rohan it borked my vnc
[19:58] <remotechief_311> Isn't there a PCMCIA - USB 2 - Card driver?
[19:58] <ScorpKing> !cups | jac0b-work
[19:58] <ubotu> jac0b-work: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[19:58] <DM|> rohan i had it running perfectly fine and decided to install KDE for fun, wel not it just resets my connection to the vncserver when i connect, even to GNOME
[19:58] <remotechief_311> ^^
[19:58] <jhutchins> jac0b-work: You mean something to plug directly into the printer, as opposed to putting a linux PC next to it?
[19:59] <ScorpKing> DM|: what connection do you have?
[19:59] <DM|> ScorpKing ?, lan
[19:59] <ubuntu__> oh when I typed sudo ubiquity , the output is " BUS ERROR (core dumped)
[19:59] <ScorpKing> DM|: oh ok. nvm
[20:00] <ubuntu__> nvm? what does it mean?
[20:00] <ScorpKing> nevermind
[20:00] <Kohlrabi> nevermind
[20:00] <ardchoille> ubuntu__: First of all you don't use sudo for gui apps. Secondly, you don't need sudo for ubiquity
[20:00] <jhutchins> ubuntu__: I still recommend verifying the md5sum of the CD.
[20:01] <ubuntu__> ok I will  reboot to see
[20:01] <Kohlrabi> ?
[20:02] <jac0b-work> jhutchins: yeah basically a usb to rj45
[20:04] <jac0b-work> I was looking at the DLink DP-301u
[20:04] <KomiaPoika> does gusty allow to set up dual display easily?
[20:05] <jhutchins> jac0b-work: Well, if it says it works with Windows & Mac, it's probably ok, but it should say unix/linux too somewhere.
[20:05] <jhutchins> jac0b-work: Actually, if it's windows-only, you should be able to use samba to print to it, so no issues.
[20:06] <jac0b-work> I have googled it and people have siad they got it to work with fedora (I think) but I was just wanting to see if anyone on here has one
[20:06] <KomiaPoika> does gusty allow to encrypt filesystem at install like debian does?
[20:07] <JiZZ0> how can i change resolution in kubuntu 7.10
[20:07] <jhutchins> JiZZ0: I use krandrtray
[20:08] <jhutchins> Ctrl-Alt-<keypad+/-> works too.
[20:09] <ardchoille> jhutchins: Which package is krandtray in?
[20:09] <Radi01> I put kima on my sys: Where did it load too.
[20:10] <ardchoille> jhutchins: nvm, found it
[20:11] <MarcC> is it possible to set Konqueror as the default file manager rather than dolphin?
[20:11] <Kohlrabi> !dolphin
[20:11] <ubotu> Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.
[20:11] <rohan> it didn't work .. i still can't access kcontrol things to work as admin
[20:12] <rohan> wtf do i do now :-/
[20:12] <rohan> this just appeared .. never seen this problem before
[20:12] <MarcC> beautiful, thanks Kohlrabi
[20:13] <Kohlrabi> MarcC: np, bot did the work ;)
[20:13] <KomiaPoika> does gutsy allow to set up dual display easily?
[20:13] <Radi01> Where did (kima) load itself to.
[20:14] <h1st0_> Is there not a way to change the resolution in KDE?
[20:15] <h1st0_> I can't find it.
[20:15] <ScorpKing> rohan: try kdesu kcontrol
[20:15] <Radi01> yes system setings
[20:15] <h1st0_> Radi01: where in system settings
[20:15] <Radi01> there is an icon monitor and display
[20:16] <rohan> ScorpKing: yes that works
[20:16] <ScorpKing> :D
[20:16] <h1st0_> Radi01: There is no resolution change setting in mine though.  I have kde-core installed not kubuntu
[20:17] <ScorpKing> rohan: that's running as root so don't change things you can change as normal user
[20:17] <Radi01> ah then i cant help sry.

[20:18] <jac0b-work> does anyone use skype?
[20:18] <bjames> I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and have installed something that has added loads of needless kde control module applications to "Applications | Other" - how do I get rid of this stuff?
[20:18] <rohan> ScorpKing: i think there are loads of bugs already reported ..
[20:18] <rohan> ScorpKing: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/15001
[20:19] <ScorpKing> oh ok
[20:19] <Kohlrabi> jac0b-work: I did, once, on 7.04
[20:19] <jac0b-work> more specifically does anyone use the usbb2k skype device
[20:23] <rohan> Riddell: are you around ?
[20:26] <Megget> hey, why don't i get any sound when i play songs in amarok?
[20:26] <Megget> anyone?
[20:27] <rohan> !sound
[20:27] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked.

[20:37] <ubotu> remotechief_311: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport

[20:49] <vasilisa> Can someone help? I used envy to install drivers for my ATI and now everything is ridiculously slow.....even slower if i dont have compiz on.
[20:49] <Assid> err.. does compiz work better with ubuntu thn it does with kubuntu?
[20:49]  * genii flips Radi01's screen 180 degrees
[20:50] <vasilisa> im in kubuntu....
[20:50] <Radi01> ah: Much better/thanks.
[20:50] <genii> Radi01: :)
[20:50] <genii> Assid: Generally, yes
[20:50] <Assid> any particular reason ?
[20:50] <genii> !envy
[20:50] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[20:51] <genii> Hmm. i see the factoid is now different for Envy
[20:51] <genii> Assid: The gnome window manager works differently than the kde window manager
[20:51] <vasilisa> i also tried the restricted one earlier and it did the same thing, which is why i changed it
[20:53] <genii> vasilisa ... bleh, they left. So impatient
[20:53] <Assid> genii: so would make more sense to use that ?
[20:54] <genii> Assid: Much depends on your hardware, how tolerable lag in compiz you are willing to have, etc etc etc.
[20:54] <Assid> err.. i wanna avoid as much lag as possible
[20:54] <Assid> the better it performs.. the better i feel
[20:55] <genii> Assid: what kind of video you have?
[20:55] <genii> ATI,NVidia,S3, Intel etc etc
[20:55] <Assid> genii: multiple installations.. my dell lappy has a ati radeon .. my sisters.. frankly i dont know..
[20:55] <Assid> i would like to use it as my desktop... but i do toomany other things on it
[20:56] <Assid> and i cant get the latest dreamweaver (too used to this) to work on wine
[20:56] <genii> Assid: Generally speaking ATI are the hardest to get working with compiz
[20:57] <Assid> genii: and this desktop is a nvidia 8600gts
[20:58] <genii> Assid: My laptop has an intel 945g it works out of the box with 7.10 kubuntu and compiz. Yet my other 2 boxes, an ati x1650 won't do composite for compiz, the nvidia 7600gt works with compiz but has strange screen remnant etc in kubuntu yet works well in gnome. so the mileage varies greatly
[20:59] <ScorpKing> !botabuse > ScorpKing
[20:59] <ScorpKing> :)
[20:59] <genii> !scorpabuse > ubotu
[20:59] <genii> ;)
[21:00] <ScorpKing> haha
[21:00] <Assid> genii: hrmm ok
[21:00] <Assid> i do prefer kde, mainly cause the codebase ive heard is much quicker

[21:08] <bjames> what is it?
[21:11] <joseph> brandon james?
[21:11] <jhutchins> bjames: Well, you could try it and see, or you could ask in #ubuntu, since this is #kubuntu.
[21:11] <bjames> yes, this is kubuntu
[21:11] <bjames> it's a KDE program!
[21:11] <bjames> argh

[21:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about volunteers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:12] <jhutchins> bjames: actually, it's not a kde program.
[21:12] <joseph> ok, i forgot the ubotu thing for that.
[21:12] <jhutchins> !info cgiscripts
[21:12] <ubotu> Package cgiscripts does not exist in gutsy

[21:18] <adyy> DC++
[21:18] <nosredna_ekim> I don't think there is a port for linux
[21:19] <nosredna_ekim> vasilisa: so which graphics card do you have?
[21:19] <nosredna_ekim> vasilisa: "lspci"
[21:19] <Linux_Galore> nosredna_ekim: ktorrent is installed by default and allows you to do p2p
[21:19] <nosredna_ekim> Linux_Galore: I know.
[21:19] <vasilisa> nosredna_ekim: 	DiabloTek Radeon X700 Super / 512MB DDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV-Out / Video Card
[21:19] <vasilisa> found it
[21:22] <nosredna_ekim> vasilisa: hmm ok. search google for the "x700 linux fglrx"
[21:22] <nosredna_ekim> there might be known problems with it
[21:23] <Linux_Galore> cant wait for the new official ATI FOSS drivers to become mature
[21:23] <nosredna_ekim> yeah, and that goes for nouveau too
[21:23] <vasilisa> not having much luck
[21:24] <Linux_Galore> nosredna_ekim: accept nouveau wont ever be official
[21:24] <vasilisa> could me having a 64 bit processor and a 32 bit installation of linux be a problem?
[21:24] <nosredna_ekim> no.
[21:24] <nosredna_ekim> so what exactly happens?
[21:25] <Linux_Galore> vasilisa: shouldnt matter
[21:25] <adyy> iours have DC++????????????????????
[21:25] <vasilisa> nosredna_ekim: Well the start menu takes a few milliseconds longer to load up o you can actually see it drawing, the net's a bit slower and 3d graphics are completyely screwed up. Without the proprietary driver i cant even load up nexuiz, but WITH it, the levels all look like cucuit boards
[21:25] <adyy> DC++ its 1 prg dl films and other
[21:25] <vasilisa> same with every other 3d program by the way
[21:26] <Linux_Galore> vasilisa: Ive been running the 32 bit variants of linux on my core 2 machines for a while now
[21:26] <vasilisa> ok

[21:31] <Alonea> ok, so I made a new user and tried to use adept, but it won't accept my root password. I tried the new user's password and mine. neither work.
[21:31] <XenThraL> tried the forums but it seems all posts there refer to older versions of amarok (1.4.4 and such)
[21:32] <adyy> hoo have new music??
[21:33] <nosredna_ekim> Alonea: add the new user to the sudo and admin groups
[21:33] <Alonea> nosredna_ekim: alrighty. thanks
[21:33] <nosredna_ekim> XenThraL: go to #amarok they may be able to help you better
[21:34] <george_> hey which is the best torrent client ?
[21:34] <george_> at least the fastest one
[21:35] <george_> is there a way to improve the speed ??? anyone
[21:35] <Alonea> george_: ktorrent is what I usually use in linux. windows I use utorrent. speed isn't program related.
[21:35] <dPix> hi
[21:36] <george_> i am using ktorrent too alonea
[21:36] <Alonea> george_: note that torrent download and upload speeds depend on your router settings, how many seeds and peers are also uploading/downloading, and how many things you are downloading uploading. You might want to cap your upload speed while downloading.
[21:36] <george_> but i wish i could dl faster
[21:36] <trappist> real men use btdownloadcurses
[21:36] <dPix> wow, can anyone help me?
[21:36] <genii> george_: Run 2 different clients and point them at the same torrent, works well for me
[21:36] <Alonea> trappist: good thing I am not a man.
[21:36] <dPix> partitions are driving me crazy :-(
[21:36] <trappist> Alonea: indeed!
[21:37] <trappist> dPix: do you have a question?
[21:37] <george_> wow is it possible genil ?
[21:37] <dPix> trappist: yes
[21:37] <dPix> trappist: I've got SDA and SDB
[21:38] <dPix> trappist: Where should I mount the SWAP?
[21:38] <Alonea> george_: and of course it also depends on you internet speeds and what port you are using. I prefer a port in the 50,000 range.
[21:38] <trappist> dPix: I would mount it as the first partition on the least-used drive
[21:38] <Alonea> brb
[21:38] <genii> george_: I often run from two machines inside the network, 1 using ktorrent and one using utorrent and the d/l is significantly fstaer for both since they inter-share. but you can also on same box do the same thing, run two clients and feed them the same torrent
[21:39] <dPix> trappist: I'm working with the partitions from this LiveCD of Kubuntu I'm using right now
[21:39] <dPix> trappist: with QTParted
[21:39] <george_> but how i know that i am not dl the same file twice?
[21:39] <dPix> trappist: I had formatted SDB but in media it does not appear as a EXT3 but it should
[21:40] <trappist> dPix: I would say, /var and /home (if they're separate partitions) should be on one drive, and swap should be on the other, as the first partition
[21:40] <trappist> dPix: sdb is a drive, not a partition
[21:40] <genii> george_: point them at the same dir to save in
[21:40] <dPix> trappist: yes, but it doesnt seem to recognized it as formatted EXT3
[21:40] <george_> hmmm interesting
[21:40] <george_> thinks genil
[21:40] <george_> thanks*
[21:40] <george_> thanks alonea
[21:41] <trappist> dPix: it won't commit your changes (write the partition table, format the partitions) until you're done and you say do it
[21:42] <genii> george_: But what i do is not let them share the same file but rather just whichever one finishes first i use that file then halt the other and wipe the partial there
[21:42] <dPix> I did commint already
[21:42] <trappist> I see.
[21:42] <trappist> what partition is supposed to be ext3?
[21:43] <wwZ|Commi> o.O
[21:43] <wwZ|Commi> *narf*
[21:43] <george_> genil: now i get lost =/
[21:43] <george_> genii*
[21:43] <dPix> SDB has SDB1 that is EXT3
[21:43] <dPix> formatted already
[21:43] <trappist> dPix: but sdb1 isn't showing as ext3?
[21:44] <dPix> trappist: only in QTParted and when preaparing partitions for installing kubuntu
[21:44] <dPix> trappist: but not in Konqueror or Dolphin
[21:45] <trappist> dPix: konqeror and dolphin show it correctly and qtparted doesn't, or the other way around?
[21:45] <dPix> trappist: way round
[21:45] <dPix> Konqueror and Dolphin will not say SDB1 is EXT3
[21:46] <trappist> well that's not really their purpose
[21:46] <dPix> trappist: then?
[21:47] <trappist> dPix: what are you trying to accomplish?
[21:47] <onyx> im having problems with running gutsy after i just installed the os, it begins the kernel, then kubuntu, run the loadings and preping, scrolls down the window and i get black screen
[21:49] <trappist> onyx: a guy in my office here had that problem.  He has to hit ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7 iirc
[21:50] <schnuppel> hi! i installed "ubuntu-desktop" on kubuntu and now want to get rid of it.. if i try to remove/purge it does not get all the packages it pulled in.. how can i get rid of those packages?
[21:50] <dPix> trappist: I've got now: SDA -> SDA1: Fat32 (Kind of backup that came with PC), SDA2: NTFS (Windows XP that I want to eliminate, but not eliminate the backup) .   SDB -> SDB1: EXT3   (/HOME) 10 gigabtes
[21:50] <dPix> trappist: SDA = 250 GB   HDD SDB = 250 GB HDD
[21:50] <jhutchins> !purekde
[21:50] <ubotu> purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE »
[21:51] <dPix> trappist: want to install Kubuntu taking off WINDOWS XP and everything but NOT the backup
[21:51] <schnuppel> jhutchins: thank you, i'll have a look
[21:51] <jhutchins> dPix: format sda2 as ext3 and install there.
[21:52] <jhutchins> dPix: I believe you'll need the alt install CD to do that.
[21:52] <trappist> dPix: ok, you wouldn't use konqueror/dolphin for that.  just boot to the live cd, tell it you want to handle the partitioning yourself, and don't wipe out the backup partition.
[21:52] <dPix> jhutchins: I've got the Live cd
[21:52] <jhutchins> dPix: I believe you'll need the alt install CD to do that.
[21:53] <dPix> trapist: I was doing that right now
[21:53] <schnuppel> jhutchins: do you know why "aptitude remove/purge ubuntu-desktop" does not "show a large list of package to remove"?
[21:53] <dPix> trappist: but I'm stucked in step 4
[21:53] <dPix> trappist: where partitions
[21:53] <schnuppel> the last thing i did was "aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" and logged into gnome and played around a bit but i don't like it..
[21:53] <jhutchins> schnuppel: because ubuntu-desktop is just a sort of wrapper for the packages that are installed.
[21:53] <Megget> hey guys, what program should I get so I can view movies in firefox?
[21:53] <schnuppel> ..anyway i will use the manual remove now :)
[21:54] <dPix> jhutchins: I think I can do it with MANUALLY PARTITIONING before installing and QTPart.
[21:54] <schnuppel> jhutchins: then the "PureKDE" page is wrong ;-)
[21:54] <jhutchins> schnuppel: It's a null package that "depends" on the list of default gnome packages for ubuntu, so when you install it it pulls them all in, but removing it just removes the empty wrapper.
[21:54] <schnuppel> (as for "Automated Removal")
[21:54]  * jhutchins takes a moment to actually read the page...
[21:55] <jhutchins> schnuppel: Yep.
[21:55] <schnuppel> (and i thought aptitude tracks the dependecies for later removal?!)
[21:55] <jhutchins> schnuppel: But it does say what to do if that doesn't work.
[21:55] <schnuppel> anyway yes.. i'll do manual
[21:55] <schnuppel> thanks again
[21:56] <jhutchins> schnuppel: They may have changed the way they do meta-packages.
[21:56] <schnuppel> hm possibly.. but it would be bad imho.. as install -> remove should work
[21:56] <onyx> in Memtest86 what is ECC mode?
[21:57] <dPix> trappist?
[21:58] <schnuppel> it's an evil plan to force you to gnome j/k ;-)))
[21:58] <jhutchins> schnuppel: Yeah, they're not symetrical though.
[21:58] <Alonea> hmm..anyone know about root privileges on gusty with the upcoming kde4?
[21:59] <Alonea> seems to be an issue for me at the moment.
[21:59] <jhutchins> Hm.  Something appears to have killed my sound.
[21:59] <jhutchins> ah, that's what that noise was, kicked the wallwart.
[22:01] <Alonea> there isn't an issue with using sudo in the terminal, but with kdesu, which I heard is now kdesudo in gusty?
[22:02] <trappist> dPix: sorry I gave up trying to get you to tell me what the problem is
[22:02] <onyx> im trying to load gutsy but it keeps freezing on me at the preparing screen
[22:03] <giacomo> hi people
[22:03] <trappist> oh freezing
[22:03] <schnuppel> hm this pure page seems to be incomplete.. i count 288 packages installed but the "PureKDE" page lists only 126 ?!
[22:03] <jhutchins> onyx: If you have ecc ram it will test that.
[22:03] <trappist> oh wayt onyx != dPix
[22:03] <dPix> trappist: What?
[22:04] <giacomo> sorry i'm a linux newbe, may someone help me please?
[22:04] <dPix> trappist: my problem is easy to solve if you know how, I'm a newbie at this 2
[22:04] <Alonea> giacomo: ask a question.
[22:04] <dPix> but I learn easily
[22:04] <giacomo> thanks alonea
[22:04] <trappist> dPix: I just need to know what your actual problem is.
[22:04] <dPix> trappist: ok
[22:04] <Alonea> giacomo: well, no one can help you if you don't state what's wrong.
[22:04] <dPix> trappist: I'm going to write it carefully so you can understand me
[22:05] <giacomo> this is the problem: I have installed linux kubuntu in one hd, later I plug another hd with win pro, how can I re-edit the dual boot for them?
[22:05] <giacomo> win xp pro*
[22:06] <Alonea> giacomo: ok, quick question. is xp the first or second hdd?
[22:06] <dPix> trappist: I've got SDA (SDA1 that I want to keep, SDA2 which can be deleted and format-gived) and SDB (250 GB's of free space)
[22:06] <mm_work> anyone know the cmd to reset a console terminal back to default settings?
[22:06] <giacomo> the second
[22:06] <giacomo> it's slave
[22:06] <Alonea> giacomo: Xp wont work if its not first and the workaround isn't easy (and I never tried it)
[22:06] <giacomo> :(
[22:07] <giacomo> so you tell me: i've to reinstall everything?
[22:07] <giacomo> or plug hdd's in different way?
[22:07] <Alonea> giacomo: no. jsut switch your hard drives. I made the same mistake once.
[22:07] <Tachyon> I'm dual-booting Vista and Kubuntu.  I just tried to install Kubuntu 7.10 over my old Kubuntu install, but it halts at 63% of copying the files and gives me Errno 5.  Now, this isn't a big concern--but now if I restart my computer, GRUB gives me error 15.  How do I fix my boot record?
[22:07] <giacomo> ok
[22:07] <giacomo> and then?
[22:08] <Alonea> giacomo: as for fixing your dual boot, its pretty easy. Lemme get the instructions. You will need your kubuntu cd to do it.
[22:08] <giacomo> i have it
[22:09] <giacomo> sorry what is lammy?
[22:09] <giacomo> lemme*
[22:09] <giacomo> (I'm not so good in english :P)
[22:10] <trpr> its slang for let me
[22:10] <giacomo> a ok thanks :D
[22:10] <Alonea> giacomo: oh, sorry Lemme - Let me
[22:11] <giacomo> ;)
[22:11] <Alonea> giacomo: ok, go to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and the "Quick Start" section
[22:11] <giacomo> I've to learn some slang
[22:11] <giacomo> thank you so much alonea
[22:11]  * schnuppel waves goodbye to all the gnome packages
[22:12]  * dPix waiting for answer from trappist
[22:12] <onyx> when im loading gusty i cannot get past that section it either black screens, and i cannot exicute any commands, or the computer with not proceed any futher, is this a bad copy of linux?
[22:12] <Alonea> giacomo: actually, do the Using the Desktop/LiveCD while preserving Windows Bootloader section. Its what I did.
[22:13] <dPix> onyx: that happened to me before twice, I think is normal
[22:13]  * trappist waiting for question from dPix
[22:13] <trappist> dPix: I understand those facts.  I still don't know what your problem is.
[22:13] <dPix> trappist: can you join #dpix?
[22:14] <dPix> trappist: I need to pass this partitioning step
[22:14] <Alonea> giacomo: you also use these instructions if you ever need to retrieve your grub after you reinstalled windows due to it messing up or whatever.
[22:14] <dPix> trappist: but don't know what to do
[22:14] <trappist> dPix: I really don't mean to be rude, but there's really only so much effort I'm willing to put into discovering what your problem is, when I may not even have the solution.  If you can tell me exactly what you want to know, maybe I can answer you.
[22:14] <giacomo> alonea: ok thanks :)
[22:15] <dPix> trappist: ok
[22:15] <mm_work> anyone know the cmd to reset a console terminal back to default settings?
[22:15] <tubaman> mm_work: reset
[22:16] <mm_work> lol, wow, okay, thank you, tubaman.
[22:16] <Alonea> giacomo: no problem.
[22:16] <tubaman> mm_work: that's what I'm here for
[22:16] <george_> does anyone knows how to set 2 different clients of torrent to work and donwload at the same time ?
[22:16] <dPix> trappist: now that you know the facts, I want to install Kubuntu in SDB that is free 250 gb's with no format, do I need for know SDA for something or it can wait till I format and start to use it for data?
[22:16] <george_> the same torrent ...
[22:17] <trappist> dPix: if you want to leave sda untouched, you don't have to use it at all.  or you can make use of it later, after you've installed, if you like.
[22:18] <schnuppel> whom should one ask to fix the incomplete https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE page? open a bug in launchpad?!
[22:19] <giacomo> alonea: I try now... hope well! thank you again ;) bye
[22:19] <dPix> trappist: ok, then I should chose the option "Guided installation, use the hole disk SDB", right?
[22:20] <puppetmaster> hi everyone
[22:20] <trappist> dPix: if you don't have specific ideas about how you want partitioning handled, and if you want to leave sda alone, yes
[22:20] <puppetmaster> I have a problem that my boot (kubuntu boot loading screen) doesn't appear
[22:21] <puppetmaster> there is a messege Sunc. out of range
[22:21] <dPix> trappist: before doing that, should I give EXT3 format to SDB or just let it as FREE
[22:21] <Alonea> see you guys later.
[22:22] <puppetmaster> Syunc. out of range
[22:22] <trappist> dPix: sdb can't be ext3 - it's a drive, not a partition
[22:22] <trappist> dPix: but, you shouldn't have to mess with it if you choose guided
[22:22] <tubaman> I have gutsy on a thinkpad t42p, and suspend/hibernate work sporadically when closing the lid.  ideas?
[22:22] <puppetmaster> so
[22:23] <onyx> which would you prefer to load the livecd or the alternate?
[22:23] <dPix> trappist: great, so if I choose the guided option I think Kubuntu will give the best divisions of space for SWAP/HOME/... right?
[22:24] <dPix> trappist: 2GB RAM should be 1GB SWAP for example
[22:25] <trappist> dPix: I don't know what it'll pick for swap.  the "best" size of swap depends on stuff it doesn't know, so if you know how much swap you want, how big you want /home and /var etc., don't use guided.
[22:25] <dPix> trappist: I don't know /var /srv
[22:26] <excitatory> dPix: with 2gb of ram, there is no need for 1gb of swap.. with that much ram, swap won't even be used..
[22:27] <Tachyon> I'm dual-booting Vista and Kubuntu.  I just tried to install Kubuntu 7.10 over my old Kubuntu install, but it halts at 63% of copying the files and gives me Errno 5.  Now, this isn't a big concern--but now if I restart my computer, GRUB gives me error 15.  How do I fix my boot record?
[22:27] <tubaman> excitatory, it depends on how many users/processes will be running concurrently
[22:27] <corinth> Tachyon: Have you tried to install it a second time?
[22:27] <trappist> excitatory: not exactly true.  depends on usage.
[22:28] <tubaman> trappist, exactly!
[22:28] <dPix> excitatory: I understand...
[22:28] <excitatory> tubaman: true, but if someone would be setting up a system like that, they would probably not be considering the guided mode..
[22:28] <Tachyon> corinth: Yes, same error during the installation.  I'm downloading the ISO again, but I don't know if I have another CD-R lying around...  I'd much rather just fix GRUB so I can boot into Windows and leave this for another day.
[22:28] <dPix> but I'm going to use compiz-fusion
[22:28] <excitatory> ..but maybe i'm wrong..
[22:28] <dPix> I'm going to give this a good use
[22:29] <dPix> I've chosen guiden
[22:29] <tubaman> excitatory, what if this is grandpa setting up a workstation for his 6 grandkids who are visiting during the holidays.
[22:29] <dPix> hahaha
[22:29] <excitatory> ok, ok..
[22:29] <puppetmaster> hey any body please
[22:29] <puppetmaster> I have a problem that my boot (kubuntu boot loading screen) doesn't appear
[22:30] <tubaman> puppetmaster, is your monitor on?
[22:30] <puppetmaster> yes
[22:30] <zibrah3ed> The logo doesn't appear and it boots/
[22:30] <puppetmaster> I'm talking from inside kubuntu
[22:30] <puppetmaster> the system is up and running
[22:30] <zibrah3ed> So you want the logo?
[22:31] <puppetmaster> but the kubuntu boot loading screan doesnat appear
[22:31] <puppetmaster> instead this messege appear: Sync.out of range
[22:31] <zibrah3ed> The os selection screen of grub?
[22:31] <applecutter> Hi, has anybody experience with devede for creating DVD-ISOs ???
[22:32] <puppetmaster> I edited the resolution in xorg.conf
[22:32] <puppetmaster> and now the commands appear
[22:32] <puppetmaster> how do I repair the boot loading screen
[22:32] <corinth> Tachyon: Downloading it again sounds like the best idea. Your system might be damaged beyong Grub, anyway.
[22:32] <puppetmaster> ?
[22:32] <Sempron3800> kubuntu is a pile of monkey poo
[22:32] <zibrah3ed> puppetmaster: xorg.conf should have a backup unless you edited it by hand
[22:33] <zibrah3ed> puppetmaster: look in /etc/X11
[22:33] <tubaman> puppetmaster: revert the xorg.conf back the the orig and adjust the resolution using the graphical tool inside KDE
[22:33] <Sempron3800> kubuntu is a pile of monkey pooo
[22:33] <zibrah3ed> Then leave
[22:33] <puppetmaster> no
[22:33] <Sempron3800> ok
[22:33] <puppetmaster> I tried this and the same problem
[22:34] <Radi01> Then we like monkey poo/Leave us monkey poos alone.
[22:34] <puppetmaster> So
[22:36] <excitatory> so i'm attempting to setup dual displays..  on a fresh gutsy install, xrandr reports both of my monitors with accurate details.  after i install the restricted ati driver, xrandr only reports one screen.. is this normal?  should i use the free driver?  is there a good guide for this?
[22:37] <zibrah3ed> excitatory: Unless you are gaming I have found no real reason to use the proprietary ati driver
[22:39] <t4m1n0> does aynone here uses deluge ? I don't know where went tool bar :S How can I get back info for a files and peers... ? http://shrani.si/f/2z/LL/1OK7pghY/screenshotdeluge.jpg  anyone ?
[22:41] <karl> what is the name for the ati driver package? not fglrx, but ati itself. I want to upgrade my driver.
[22:41] <excitatory> zibrah3ed: you know.. i was sort of coming to that conclusion.. but wasn't quite sure if the ati driver was good enough..
[22:42] <sMonk> Hello, I have been using Kubuntu 7.10 for about a month now, yesterday for some reason GRUB decided to give me an Error 2, can some one please help me? I'm running off the live CD of 7.4 (can't find the 7.10)
[22:42] <excitatory> karl: well, just use the restricted driver manager, since there are multiple packages.. or type apt-cache search fglrx
[22:44] <karl> how do i get to the restricted driver manager?
[22:44] <sense_> I'm having bit of trouble with Adept. Anything I try to install, it just complains it'd conlfict with previous packages, or alternatively just plain crashes. Running Kubuntu 7.10, just installed earlier this evening.
[22:44] <karl> iḿ used to going through the command line
[22:45] <zibrah3ed> system settings -> advanced -> restricted driver manager
[22:45] <sMonk> karl: Use the "K" button, goto "system settings" then goto the "advanced" tab
[22:45] <karl> thx
[22:45] <karl> what if iḿ not using the driver at the time?
[22:46] <karl> Iḿ trying to do dual head between an ati pci card and a agp nvidia card
[22:46] <karl> using nv and ati
[22:46] <karl> but i think my ati driver isnt good for it, so i want to upgrade it
[22:47] <sMonk> Hello, I have been using Kubuntu 7.10 for about a month now, yesterday for some reason GRUB decided to give me an Error 2, can some one please help me? I'm running off the live CD of 7.4 (can't find the 7.10)
[22:48] <zibrah3ed> sMonk: it's a problem with the partition, bad blocks or whatever- a reformat using live CD of choice should work- if you can afford to lose the data.
[22:49] <tubaman> sMonk: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ubuntu-6.10-grub-error-2-help-534566/
[22:49] <schnuppel> is there actually a koffice4 snapshot build for gutsy somewhere?
[22:52] <jhutchins> schnuppel: S'posed to be.
[22:54] <schnuppel> jhutchins: as in "probably released in the next few days/weeks" or as in "i want it too"? ;)
[22:54] <jhutchins> As in supposedly included in the gutsy release, so you can have it now, though it's a couple of months old probably.
[22:55] <jhutchins> schnuppel: So nice of you to volunteer to help with the testing!
[22:56] <jhutchins> Harumph.   kde.org is only listing the Novell packages.
[22:56] <schnuppel> hm ..well testing someting that is a couple of month old will not be so productive... but i'm willing to test a newer version! :-)
[22:57] <jhutchins> schnuppel: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php
[22:57] <schnuppel> jhutchins: this is only kde4 not koffice 2 for kde4?! ..
[22:59] <tubaman> I have gutsy on a thinkpad t42p, and suspend/hibernate work sporadically when closing the lid.  ideas?
[22:59] <zibrah3ed> schnuppel; This seems to point to a koffice 2 package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/koffice2/1.9.95-0ubuntu2
[23:00] <walkover> Hey everybody! Im running kubuntu gutsy and i want that fancy 3d desktop. I just can't seem to find it in the repositories. I search for beryl, compiz and emerald and i found nothing! Is it called something else or do i need another mirror? In that case - Which?.
[23:00] <schnuppel> zibrah3ed:  thanks!
[23:01] <walkover> anyone?
[23:02] <zibrah3ed> walkover: Make sure you have the universe and multiverse repos enabled
[23:02] <walkover> I hope i have, or else i will be embaressed ;D ill check..
[23:03] <walkover> got both!
[23:03] <zibrah3ed> walkover: I checked it is in the universe repo try refreshing the repos
[23:04] <corinth> Here's an interesting question.
[23:05] <walkover> apt-cache search beryl = nothing
[23:05] <walkover> after update
[23:05] <zibrah3ed> walkover: apt-get install compiz
[23:05] <corinth> Anyone recommend some packages that they think are essential to their Kubuntu that don't come installed by default?
[23:05] <walkover> for kde?
[23:05] <walkover> Is that not for gnome?
[23:06] <zibrah3ed> walkover: both can use it
[23:06] <zibrah3ed> I would install emerald as well
[23:06] <walkover> Ok ill try!
[23:06] <walkover> thanks
[23:06] <zibrah3ed> It will require an x server restsart
[23:06] <walkover> what happened to beryl?
[23:07] <walkover> i used to use beryl with emerald
[23:07] <onyx> i am installing gutsy right now with a daul boot, i have three partitions, i set up my linux drive, but it wont let me mount the recovery partition or windows partition...why is this?
[23:08] <zibrah3ed> walkover: Beryl and compiz have rejoind
[23:09] <walkover> aah that explains it all
[23:09] <zibrah3ed> onyx: are they NTFS partitions
[23:09] <Nuked> anyone in here fairly well versed in video encoding?
[23:10] <onyx> zirrah3ed: thank you for your help
[23:11] <walkover> fingers crossed - restarting X
[23:13] <zibrah3ed> onyx: ntfs-config is a gui for ntfs3g that is rather easy, in konsole type: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[23:14] <zibrah3ed> onyx: then to start type : sudo ntfs-config
[23:16] <onyx> zibrah3ed: thank you
[23:20] <Radi01> sudo apt-get uninstall bill gates
[23:21] <zibrah3ed> I think the anti-competition missiles would launch if you typed that command
[23:22] <Radi01> We have anti missles for the anti missles competition....made in china.
[23:22] <zibrah3ed> With high amounts of lead?
[23:23] <Radi01> And nutritious mercury.
[23:23] <nosrednaekim> PERFECT for toothpaste
[23:23] <zibrah3ed> Botchelism anyone?
[23:23] <nosrednaekim> there is probably a CHuck Norris joke in here somewhere..
[23:24] <zibrah3ed> Nah too easy
[23:24] <Radi01> Mcguyver.
[23:25] <Radi01> I just purchased another fine product made in china: its a new monitor  brb let me hook it up.

[23:26] <zibrah3ed> IT
[23:26] <nosrednaekim> Radi01: use the compiz freewins plugin
[23:26] <Radi01> lol
[23:26] <nosrednaekim> and how the heck dod you write that?
[23:27] <Radi01> My cube is only 3ft square.
[23:27] <zibrah3ed> Mine is 2 ft cubed
[23:27] <zibrah3ed> have to lay down
[23:27] <Nuked> nosrednaekim, that was pretty weird.. the upside down stuff
[23:31] <draik> Can someone please take a look into why I cannot record something on my desktop... http://www.draikunderlord.com/uplink.ogg
[23:33] <zibrah3ed> draik: did you get the progear reader working
[23:34] <draik> zibrah3ed: Nope. Everything on it died shortly thereafter.
[23:35] <sMonk> I'm still having problems with GRUB, I keep getting Error 2, I'd like to avoid formatting and re-installing if I could.
[23:35] <sMonk> Can anyone give me some suggestions
[23:35] <draik> sMonk: Have you tried SGD; Super Grub Disk
[23:35] <sMonk> no
[23:35] <sMonk> at this point I'll try flinging poo at my monitor if it will be promising
[23:36] <sMonk> Right now I'm on a 7.4 Live CD
[23:36] <draik> sMonk: If you're booting any version of Win, then yes, flinging poo at your monitor will have the same results
[23:36] <draik> sMonk: Try 7.10
[23:37] <sMonk> LOL no, I'm not dual booting, (although I have a vista setup on here that grub erased the bootmgr for and I could never get running)
[23:37] <draik> Win first, then Linux. That's how win won't mess with your GRUB
[23:37] <draik> !grub | sMonk
[23:37] <ubotu> sMonk: 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
[23:37] <sMonk> I was/am running 7.10.. but the only CD I could find is 7.4... I must have lost my 7.10 cd
[23:38] <cirio> There is someone who speaks Italian?
[23:38] <draik> !it | cirio
[23:38] <ubotu> cirio: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[23:38] <cirio> ok thanks
[23:38] <sMonk> I never tried to setup windows.. Kubuntu locked up on my wife, then it froze, so she hit the reset switch now grub goes to "Error 2"
[23:39] <nosrednaekim> sMonk: did you google what Error 2 is?
[23:40] <sMonk> yeah.. something about lost files or something to that nature
[23:40] <draik> nosrednaekim: Hey there. How are you? Beat me to it.
[23:40] <draik> sMonk: Did you google Error 2 for a resolution?
[23:41] <sMonk> there really isn't a whole lot on it.. I crawled the Kubuntu/Ubuntu forums.. but couldn't find a whole lot. Normally people just give the response "re-install" as they do with almost everything :)
[23:42] <sMonk> and a lot of the info I have found (about checking your boot settings etc) are all as if you are RUNNING your system, not booting off a live CD
[23:42] <sMonk> so I don't have a /boot/grub/*
[23:43] <draik> Has anyone taken a look at my video link for the issue? I am trying to record Uplink and that is what I get.
[23:43] <draik> sMonk: If you have Kubuntu, I bet you do
[23:43] <draik> Look for /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:44] <sMonk> sorry.. I don't have /boot/grub folder
[23:44] <sMonk> I have a /boot folder.. but no grub
[23:45] <draik> sMonk: Did you "sudo rm -f /boot/"?
[23:45] <sMonk> no
[23:45] <draik> Nothing similar to it either, right?
[23:45] <sMonk> no, I don't delete system files
[23:46] <draik> Open Konsole
[23:46] <sMonk> done
[23:46] <draik> "cd /
[23:46] <draik> sorry..
[23:46] <draik> "cd /boot/"
[23:46] <sMonk> yup
[23:47] <draik> ls
[23:47] <draik> "ls"
[23:47] <sMonk> yup
[23:47] <draik> What do you have?

[23:53] <Pupeno> Anyone using Mono's installer on latest Kubuntu?
[23:59] <Nurburgring> hi all, first time with kubuntu distro and i love it
