[12:17] <slyfox> fribuntu: where is it done again? in my /boot/grub/menu.lst    there is no vesa
[12:17] <fribuntu> slyfox: just add it
[12:17] <fribuntu> slyfox: in the same line where the "vga" is

[12:18] <fribuntu> slyfox: yep
[12:18] <slyfox> rebooting
[12:18] <fribuntu> good luck

[12:20] <parkerw207> help guys
[12:20] <Minataku> Good luck, xenol
[12:20] <xenol> well if i turn pc off with button can it dmg sumthing?
[12:20] <parkerw207> says it cannot burn my cd :(
[12:20] <xenol> ty Minataku
[12:21] <parkerw207> says cdrecord has no permission to open the device
[12:21] <jmichaelx> parkerw207: use k3b instead, and run it as root
[12:21] <parkerw207> how do i run it as root ?
[12:22] <jmichaelx> 'sudo k3b'
[12:22] <spitwise> would sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/k3b of sorts work to give permissions?
[12:22] <jmichaelx> yeah, i think it would
[12:22] <spitwise> then user can could run it
[12:23] <parkerw207> now its borning
[12:23] <parkerw207> or burning*
[12:23] <parkerw207> or doing something lol
[12:23] <lupine_85> spitwise: no, it wouldn't
[12:24] <lupine_85> that'd be a baaaad idea
[12:24] <lupine_85> the user probably needs adding to the cdrom or media group (see what group /dev/cdrom or other appropriate device file is in)
[12:24] <slyfox> fribuntu: nothing, smae problem
[12:24] <lupine_85> making /anything/ xx7 is a bad idea...
[12:25] <roman2006> hi
[12:25] <coreymon77> guys
[12:25] <coreymon77> i have 3 packages that have been held back for some reason
[12:25] <coreymon77> why is that?
[12:26] <slyfox> coreymon77: details
[12:26] <coreymon77> linux-headers-generic linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[12:27] <coreymon77> those are the packages
[12:27] <tazz> when i type 'sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin' it says "bash: ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin: Permission denied"
[12:27] <coreymon77> i type sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:27] <coreymon77> and it says the following packages have been held back
[12:27] <tazz> what am i doing wrong?
[12:27] <coreymon77> linux-headers-generic linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[12:27] <slyfox> coreymon77: do sudo-apt get update first
[12:27] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[12:27] <slyfox> coreymon77: the do sudo-apt get autoremove
[12:27] <fribuntu> slyfox: well, I am out of options then. Sorry.
[12:28] <jmichaelx> coreymon77: i am having the same problem
[12:28] <tazz> coreymon77: try apt-get clean
[12:28] <jmichaelx> ahh
[12:28] <fribuntu> slyfox: You can try to start some other live distro like knoppix and see if you can switch there.
[12:28] <jott> slyfox: slyfox try to install vbetool then do "sudo vbetool vbemode get" and use the value returned as vga=nnn
[12:28] <slyfox> fribuntu: so is everyone else I spoke with. Man at least in the Windows world everything was known.. here it is a dark night
[12:28] <fribuntu> slyfox: and then you can find out what makes knoppix different from your config.
[12:28] <coreymon77> no use
[12:28] <slyfox> fribuntu: My Konsole did work before fine in Kubuntu
[12:28] <cpk1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356408 regarding the update issue!
[12:29] <fribuntu> slyfox: so what have you changed when it did stop working?
[12:29] <fribuntu> slyfox: you must have done something. Consoles do not magically turn of or something.
[12:29] <coreymon77> tazz: didnt work
[12:29] <slyfox> fribuntu: that is the million dollar question.  I suspect it maybe was Beryl and nvidia 9xxx series
[12:30] <coreymon77> tazz: same thing happened
[12:30] <slyfox> fribuntu: console does work fine in X session
[12:30] <jott> fribuntu: well i had quite the same issue with the nvidia driver .. but setting the vga=... helped for me at least..
[12:30] <fribuntu> slyfox: Oh and by the way, you are free to uninstall any Linux and reinstall Windows, if you like. But telling us that a windows console mode is working better than linux is kind of funny.
[12:30] <coreymon77> slyfox: your suggestions didnt help
[12:30] <jott> and not all vesa modes worked for me...
[12:31] <underdog5004> whoa...I missed that one!
[12:31] <underdog5004> lol
[12:31] <jott> slyfox: maybe give the vbetool a try..but i can't promise anything ;)
[12:31] <slyfox> fribuntu: nah, I am not talking about console, I am talking in general, it would be known by now what causes this problem, here no one has a clue after a few suggestions do not work
[12:31] <underdog5004> no way is command prompt better than bash/konsole/etc...
[12:31] <genii> underdog5004: Heya
[12:31] <slyfox> coreymon77: don't know ask someone else, I am jsut a noob to be honest
[12:31] <fribuntu> slyfox: I have never touched beryl, compiz and all that 3D stuff.
[12:31] <slyfox> fribuntu: yeah, good choice
[12:31] <slyfox> jott: let me see
[12:31] <fribuntu> slyfox: Well, be my guest. Uninstall Linux, reinstall Windows. Be a happy bunny.
[12:32] <coreymon77> dumb bunny too
[12:32] <fribuntu> slyfox: Linux is not obligatory.
[12:32] <slyfox> fribuntu: no I am not going back to WIndows
[12:32] <fribuntu> slyfox: You can also pay someone to install it for you so it works.
[12:32] <underdog5004> hey genii long time no see...
[12:32] <slyfox> jott: sudo vbetool vbemode get  you sure? I get this - 32771
[12:32] <sorush20> anyone here know how to fix the blue rotating box problem with fgl_glxgears
[12:32] <fribuntu> slyfox: Or you could pack up your stuff and visit one of your local Linux user groups.
[12:32] <fribuntu> slyfox: It is hard to do suport via IRC or mail only.
[12:33] <fribuntu> slyfox: when the problem gets more complex.
[12:33] <slyfox> fribuntu: I think I just will reinstall
[12:33] <slyfox> Kubutnu completely
[12:33] <jmichaelx> slyfox: i may be reinstalling , too:(
[12:33] <fribuntu> slyfox: oh well, you should know that procedure from your windows days :)
[12:33] <sorush20> http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7507/pantallazopbufferglxgears6tk.png
[12:33] <slyfox> jmichaelx: why you ?
[12:33] <jott> slyfox: oh i see this seems to be the mode currently on the console not on X..hmmm... :/
[12:33] <elyon> Could someone tell me why Adept is telling me to upgrade the linux kernel headers, but when I try to, it will break dependencies?
[12:34] <cpk1> elyon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356408
[12:34] <jmichaelx> sounds dumb, but i cannot sort out this problem with playing videos
[12:34] <underdog5004> slyfox, yeah, it's pretty easy, esp. if you've got a seperate /home partition
[12:34] <fribuntu> slyfox: While I am sure it is not necessary, since there is this nice "purge" option for package removal, it might be the fastest solution for you.
[12:34] <jott> slyfox: i can really imagine its a vesa issue :p mind to try the vga=838 I use?! ;-)
[12:34] <slyfox> fribuntu: I will purge Kubuntu, since I have no idea what else to purge besides Beryl
[12:34] <slyfox> jott: ok, I will be back in 15 minutes and will talk.
[12:35] <slyfox> underdog5004: I dont, I will get one now though thsi tie around
[12:35] <slyfox> OK. Brb in 15 min.
[12:35] <fribuntu> jott: I do not think it is a vesa issue, because the issue prevails even when vesa is disabled.
[12:35] <underdog5004> slyfox, yeah, it kicks ass...
[12:36] <jott> fribuntu: i had the very same problem and setting to textmode did not help..
[12:36] <elyon> cpk1: That helps.  Thank you :)
[12:36] <elyon> ...thought I was doing something wrong
[12:36] <fribuntu> jott: but disabling vesa rules out vesa as the troublemaker. If it indeed gets disabled that is.
[12:36] <jott> fribuntu: actually the textmode he uses is vesa mode 32771 ;)
[12:36] <cpk1> elyon: looks like we all just need some patience till the package maintainers get it worked out
[12:37] <underdog5004> yeah, in the mean time, I am _not_ gonna restart my computer...lol
[12:37] <elyon> cpk1: I can handle that... just was worried I messed something up.  But if it's happening to everyone, I'm okay with that ;)
[12:38] <fribuntu> jott: video:vesa=off should disable it.
[12:38] <fribuntu> jott: and that's what he did.

[12:42] <one> PLZ help how could i switch this off ? Last login: Fri Feb  9 00:30:47 2007 from my IP on ssh on remote server ?
[12:42] <jott> fribuntu: that 32771 (so 80x25 textmode) seems to be handled as a "vesa mode" by the nvidia chip set and I suppose there is a bug in the nvidia driver that causes trouble switching to X and to some vesa modes with some chipset combinations or what ever it causes
[12:43] <flaccid> one: why would you wnt to?
[12:43] <cpk1> Legolas_Faol: after you do that do sudo apt-get -f install
[12:43] <one> flaccid its a remote server and i dont want to save my login ip
[12:43] <cpk1> Legolas_Faol: the wiki explains all this... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[12:43] <user__> can someone help me setup my sata drives?
[12:44] <flaccid> one: why?
[12:44] <user__> please?
[12:44] <fribuntu> jott: well, he claims it worked fine before twiddling with 3D crap. So I have my doubts it is a bug. Maybe a misconfiguration.
[12:44] <one>  <one> flaccid its a remote server and i dont want to save my login ip
[12:45] <flaccid> why do you not want to save your last login IP ?
[12:45] <user__> does anyone here know how to setup sata drives?
[12:45] <jott> fribuntu: possibly.. but i had the same problem until i found a vesa mode that worked... so it's not a unique problem description...
[12:45] <cpk1> he haxxored them gibson?
[12:45] <cpk1> and now plague is chasing after him?
[12:45] <jott> fribuntu: or not call it vesa mode but video mode (including text mode)
[12:45] <one> flaccid it is a server in a computer centre and i dont wanna that they could see my logins from which ip
[12:46] <fribuntu> jott: Whatever :)
[12:46] <one> flaccid sure they an sniff them but i dont wanna it saved on the server ;-(
[12:46] <flaccid> then don't give them root to your server
[12:46] <fribuntu> jott: It is so frustrating when ppl come up with that silly "Windows works" poo
[12:47] <fribuntu> jott: It makes my good will shrivel up :)
[12:47] <one> flaccid but there is the option remote serial console and i think they have their backdoor to look on the files/scripts
[12:47] <jott> fribuntu: hehe well i have see a couple of nvidia related bluescreens ;) ...
[12:47] <one> flaccid plz just tell my how to turn it off *G*
[12:47] <flaccid> i don't know how to
[12:47] <champion> how do people normally use linux print servers off linux over a network in a secure fashion?
[12:47] <champion> how does authentication work
[12:48] <flaccid> one: wouldn't you want it on so you can track when they login and do stuff? or would you just let them do whatever...
[12:48] <flaccid> champion: usually with samba printer share
[12:48] <champion> flaccid: but passwords are passed around in the cleartext format
[12:48] <sleepy745> where is thunderbird located in the menu?
[12:48] <fribuntu> jott: I buy NVidia hardware, because it has rather good Linux support, although it is closed source. I could never get ATI drivers running.
[12:48] <champion> flaccid: that's platform independent stupidity
[12:48] <one> flaccid no i enabled firewall only 3ports open and the ssh port is not 22 and very good pw
[12:48] <jott> fribuntu: the claim "windows works" is just wrong...
[12:48] <flaccid> champion: not if you configure samba to use encrypted passwords
[12:49] <fribuntu> jott: I'd go Intel, but I like to play the ocasional 3D game ...
[12:49] <champion> flaccid: okay, how about linux to windows then?
[12:49] <flaccid> champion: you don't know what you are talking about.
[12:49] <flaccid> yes samba is an smb server for *nix
[12:49] <champion> yes i know that
[12:49] <jott> fribuntu: i do 3d development and gpu stuff so i need a good gpu too ;-)
[12:49] <flaccid> you can also do whatever authentication and encryption you want...
[12:49] <one> flaccid so how i switch it of ?
[12:49] <fribuntu> jott: of course it is wrong. In the end of the day, no system "just works". It needs skillful configuration and then users that don't act like total morons.
[12:49] <flaccid> kerberos, tdb, sam etc.
[12:50] <champion> flaccid: how does samba pass credentials through winbind to cups then?
[12:50] <flaccid> one: [10:51]  <flaccid> i don't know how to
[12:50] <one> flaccid lol ;-P
[12:50] <flaccid> i don't use windbind. go learn samba: http://samba.org
[12:50] <user__> can somone please help me mount my sata drives?
[12:50] <champion> flaccid: it's winbind
[12:51] <jott> fribuntu: yes .. especially when people mess around without knowing what they are doing .. then everything brakes and they complain :p
[12:51] <samiam010203> user_why wont your drives mount
[12:51] <cpk1> user__: it would be sudo mount /dev/s*# /media/somefolder
[12:51] <flaccid> champion: like i said you get can do it many ways. you don't need to use winbind...
[12:51] <coreymon77> huys
[12:51] <cpk1> or i guess /dev/sd*
[12:51] <coreymon77> one thing
[12:51] <flaccid> you can configure samba server to use it if you want to
[12:51] <jott> fribuntu: and linux invites to mess around ;)
[12:51] <coreymon77> if you did install the working parts of the kernel updates
[12:51] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[12:51] <fribuntu> jott: It is build for tinkering :)
[12:51] <coreymon77> because you didnt know about the broken ones
[12:51] <fribuntu> jott: But I do that on a second non-productive system.
[12:52] <coreymon77> is it okay to restart your computer
[12:52] <coreymon77> or can i not do that until the problem is fixed

[12:53] <cpk1> coreymon77: does  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356408 say anything about it?
[12:53] <flaccid> champion: i'm not going to give you a solution. you read the documentation. thus you will learn how to configure samba.
[12:53] <champion> flaccid: i clearly understand it, but from what i have gathered ubuntu linux and cups and samba don't play nice with windows
[12:53] <fribuntu> jott: You do not by any chance have a CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller audio device?
[12:53] <jott> fribuntu: yep it fine to mess around but it's somewhat unreflected to complain when something breakes afterwards..imho.. :)
[12:54] <champion> flaccid: if you don't *know* how to, that's fine, but pretending like you do and telling me to "RTFM" doesn't help
[12:54] <fribuntu> jott: and then use that for recording and tell me what settings I need to tweak to get a nasty beep cleared out when trying to record via mic?
[12:54] <flaccid> champion: they do if you configure them correctly. i have it set up at home and work mixed environment no problem
[12:54] <jott> fribuntu: do you use kmix for mixing?
[12:54] <fribuntu> jott: I have tried both, kmix and alsamixer.
[12:54] <flaccid> champion: i pointed you to the resources. i don't have time to spoon feed you.
[12:55] <champion> flaccid: do you passwords in cleartext? how do you authenticate? helping me out with specifics follows, but it's easier to transition by starting at a higher level of concepts
[12:55] <user__> cpk1?
[12:55] <elyon> Is it possible to remove the Konqueror web browser without removing the file browser?
[12:55] <jott> fribuntu: ok.. because kmix is somewhat broken and the patch i proposed was more or less ignored :p
[12:55] <fribuntu> jott: It is not a general problem. When I skype for example, my voice is crystal clear.
[12:55] <champion> flaccid: yeah, it's like saying: here's the internet go figure it out. it's not helpful. if it was, i would have figured it out already.
[12:55] <flaccid> champion: read the howtos on samba.org. they detail all this.
[12:55] <flaccid> champion: don't be lazy.
[12:55] <julio> en que te puedosomebody can help me?
[12:55] <champion> flaccid: not how to get cups to work with samba without sending smb://user:pass@server/printer type format
[12:55] <cpk1> user__: have you tried mounting your sata drives at *all*?
[12:55] <jott> fribuntu: so maybe you need a fixed sampling rate?
[12:56] <fribuntu> jott: tried that.
[12:56] <flaccid> champion: its there.
[12:56] <user__> lol, nooooo i havent.  ive mounted b4, but that was a long time ago, and they were ide
[12:56] <flaccid> and using smb:// is platform dependent
[12:56] <champion> flaccid: printing doesn't seem to be supported, if you can prove me otherwise, i'll gladly read it
[12:56] <champion> flaccid: yes so what does that have to do with anything?
[12:56] <flaccid> !cups
[12:56] <ubotu> 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
[12:56] <flaccid> there you go
[12:56] <flaccid> proved otherwise...
[12:57] <jott> fribuntu: have you tried something like cat /dev/audio > bla.raw and pipe it back into the dsp?
[12:57] <champion> flaccid: the issue is getting winbind credentials to work with cups
[12:57] <fribuntu> jott: I did a frequency analysis and I can say the beep is in the lower kHz range (1.3 - 5.5) and rather annoying.
[12:57] <jott> (like the low level approach ;)
[12:57] <user__> i just got this new pc, and getting it all up and ready, but i need to get them mounted so i can test them if i have to return the droves by tomorrow
[12:57] <flaccid> conversation over. go read the resources i pointed you to.
[12:57] <cpk1> user__: ok so you sata drives will be /dev/sd* (sda sdb sdc and etc) to mount one you would have to have made a directory somewhere where you want to mount it and then do sudo mount /dev/sd* /some/dir/i/made
[12:57] <champion> flaccid: i know what cups is, i've read all the pertinent documentation. if you claim to have a setup in which passwords aren't sent in cleartext, please tell me, but telling me to read cups.org or samba.org is not helpful
[12:57] <fribuntu> jott: I can record ok, it is just distorted and has that beep. Quite annoying.
[12:58] <flaccid> champion: too bad.
[12:58] <jott> fribuntu: hmm.. really strange ..have you checked the alsa wiki?
[12:58] <jott> there are alot of options you can tweak in the alsa.conf
[12:58] <jott> (like buffer settings etc etc)
[12:59] <user__> crappppppppp.... i totally forget how to do that.  is there a read thru somewhere?
[12:59] <user__> man... its been too long
[12:59] <getafix> can anyone tell me why adept updater is telling me the package database is being used by another programme when there is nothing else open?
[12:59] <jott> alsa has quite a bad documentation... :/
[12:59] <cpk1> user__: i just told you how...
[12:59] <user__> i cant even rember the list command, something like -l or something
[01:00] <user__> lol, yah, but i need to knoe the drive names, whats thie list command again?
[01:00] <one> which is the best/easiest irc deamon for linux with ssl supporT ?
[01:00] <fribuntu> jott: I did check there and tweaked the settings a bit. But the problem remains. I asekd here on the #alsa channel, but I did not even get an answer to my "Hi", let alone to my question.
[01:00] <user__> -ls?
[01:01] <getafix> is there anyway I can tell what app or process is using the packaging system database?
[01:01] <jott> fribuntu: yep there are not many supportive ppl in #alsa ..i guess no core devs and such..
[01:01] <zblach> quick question. i have an embedded ricoh camera that doesn't seem to be supported by v4l. what can I do about it?
[01:01] <user__> sry cpk1, thank you for the patience though, ill refer to those commands, but what is the list command?
[01:01] <fribuntu> jott: And I am too impatient for email or newsgroup support :)
[01:01] <coreymon77> guys
[01:01] <coreymon77> this is urgent
[01:02] <coreymon77> how do i roll bacjk
[01:02] <coreymon77> to the working drivers
[01:02] <cpk1> user__: try sudo lshw to find out the logical names of your sata drives
[01:02] <fribuntu> coreymon77: What do you mean?
[01:02] <jott> fribuntu: and you are sure that it's not some kind of mechanical/physical problem? like feedback/electro static fields?
[01:02] <fribuntu> coreymon77: Please elaborate.
[01:02] <coreymon77> okay
[01:03] <jott> (as skype may filter some frequency bands)
[01:03] <fribuntu> jott: As I said, skype is working like a charm, when I call the audio test.
[01:03] <coreymon77> i ran apt-get upgrade
[01:03] <coreymon77> and unknowingly did the partial upgrade of the kernel files
[01:03] <coreymon77> now i have three kernel files unmet
[01:03] <coreymon77> if i restart now
[01:03] <user__> sweet, that worked
[01:03] <coreymon77> it will lock up my system
[01:04] <fribuntu> jott: I can do that: Try to record ... *pop* *snap* *crackle* *beeeeep* ... run skype ... crystal clear ... try to record again ... *pop* *hisss* *beeeep*
[01:04] <coreymon77> how do i rollback to the previus images
[01:04] <underdog5004> coreymon77, it's a common issue right now
[01:04] <coreymon77> underdog5004: how do i roll back
[01:04] <underdog5004> no idea...gimme 30 minutes and I can tell you though....
[01:05] <flaccid> imo kubuntu is a mess (atm)
[01:05] <fribuntu> coreymon77: Ok, problem understood. However, I have no idea how to "role back". How about uninstalling them and then reinstalling the proper versions?
[01:05] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[01:05] <fribuntu> flaccid: I don't think so. Why should it be?
[01:05] <underdog5004> coreymon77, ok, read this. I know it's not totally the answer, but it can help you:  http://www.howtoforge.org/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[01:05] <flaccid> fribuntu: i never said it should be
[01:06] <jott> fribuntu: hmm.. really strange.. you may compare amixer output before and while running skype?! ;)
[01:06] <underdog5004> jmichaelx, were you playing stuff over a network?
[01:06] <jott> fribuntu: on the other hand skype may not be the best full dynamics test ;)
[01:06] <fribuntu> jott: No changes. But as I said, I don't think skype is using alsa at all.
[01:06] <user__> cpk1 it didnt work
[01:07] <fribuntu> jott: If I could get the skype sound quality out of a local recording, I'd be more than happy.
[01:07] <user__> how do i make the directory to mount it to???
[01:07] <jmichaelx> underdog5004: no, but i played a file that was somehow corrupt
[01:07] <jott> fribuntu: have you tried dumping /dev/audio to a file and then pipe it back to /dev/dsp ?
[01:07] <fribuntu> jott: And by the way, simply playing sound is no problem and quite clear as well.
[01:07] <julio> somebody can helpme i can not conect wireless
[01:07] <fribuntu> jott: let me try ...
[01:08] <user__> cpk1 is can we get into a private chat for a second just to plow thru this???
[01:08] <cpk1> user__: sudo lshw works
[01:09] <user__> yah that worked
[01:09] <user__> but the mounting didnt
[01:09] <user__> i have all the sba/b/c though
[01:09] <jmichaelx> underdog5004: you have an idea what might be wrong?
[01:09] <cpk1> what did it say?
[01:09] <fribuntu> jott: it does not really work. I can hear some static and my voice very faint in the background.
[01:09] <user__> sd rather
[01:09] <user__> p.s.  how do i make it so i specifically write to you again?
[01:10] <jott> fribuntu: have you tried recorind with arecord?
[01:10] <cpk1> user__: what was the mount error and what type of FS is this you are trying to mount?
[01:10] <user__> cpk1: nvm, remebered
[01:10] <fribuntu> jott: That has the same problem. *beeeep* :(
[01:10] <jott> :(
[01:10] <fribuntu> jott: it is a PITA
[01:10] <user__> cpk1: the error was command not found, also, its a brand new drive, no FS
[01:10] <earl_> i have a question, it's kind of unrelated to linux
[01:11] <user__> cpk1: 3 brand new drives
[01:11] <fribuntu> jott: recording sound with Linux has always been a bit of a pain. But this time I cannot get it to work at all.
[01:11] <earl_> my friend just bought an ATX power supply - but he has a BTX computer. he can't use his new power supply can he
[01:11] <cpk1> user__: so you are going to have to format them first
[01:11] <user__> cpk1: just need to figure out one and uplicate the process
[01:11] <fribuntu> jott: It seems all the ALSA guys are very busy supporting playback, but nobody thinks about recording.
[01:11] <jott> fribuntu: so either its a bug in the alsa driver or you really missed some stupid flag in the mixer control (like disable spdif)
[01:11] <user__> cpk1: i thought they had to be mounted first?  argh, ok how is that done again???  sry man.... lol i totally forget
[01:11] <jott> 2^n combinations to try ;)
[01:12] <fribuntu> jott: let me restart alsamixer and go through the controlls, ok?
[01:12] <fribuntu> jott: Master volume ... set to 100%, check.
[01:12] <fribuntu> jott: Master Mono: off
[01:12] <fribuntu> jott: PCM is at 80%
[01:12] <jott> fribuntu: maybe pastebin your amixer is easier ;)
[01:13] <cpk1> user__: you are going to want to use mkfs
[01:13] <fribuntu> jott: hang on :)
[01:13] <cpk1> also cfdisk is easy to use if you want to make partitions on them
[01:13] <getafix> Can anyone help me with this error, even though i just restarted and nothing is running that i know of: You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one.
[01:13] <fribuntu> jott: which pastebin do you recommend?
[01:14] <julio> anyone can helpme i have an encore card pci adapter but my computer dont recognice
[01:14] <cpk1> to make sda all ext3 just do sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda
[01:14] <user__> cpk1: mkfs.... honestly it sounds familiar but i totally dont rember how to do it.  i did this whole procedure only 2wice and that was 3 years ago now
[01:14] <coreymon77> okay
[01:14] <coreymon77> guys
[01:14] <coreymon77> before i reboot
[01:14] <coreymon77> im trying to fix the problem
[01:15] <jott> fribuntu: either the ubuntu one or pastebin.ca come to my mind..
[01:15] <cpk1> user__: also you could try using gparted or qtparted for a gui that might be more intuitive and easier for you
[01:15] <jott> fribuntu: brb.. ;)
[01:15] <coreymon77> what kernel version is the latest working version
[01:15] <user__> cpk1: it says: /dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition!
[01:15] <user__> cpk1: is it ok to procedd?
[01:15] <getafix> :~$ apt-get update
[01:15] <getafix> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[01:15] <getafix> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[01:15] <getafix> i get that in terminal that mean anything to anyone?
[01:16] <cpk1> getafix: you need to use sudo
[01:16] <getafix> sweet that worked thanks
[01:16] <user__> cpk1: also, which is for kde, qt or gparted???
[01:16] <getafix> what about this? E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:17] <flaccid> !qtparted
[01:17] <ubotu> qtparted: A parted frontend using QT. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.5-2ubuntu11 (edgy), package size 202 kB, installed size 716 kB
[01:17] <julio> help
[01:17] <flaccid> getafix: sudo dpkg --configure -a

[01:18] <cpk1> kde use qt and gnome uses gtk but both can be used on both
[01:18] <coreymon77> guys
[01:19] <coreymon77> the forum thread is confusing me
[01:19] <cpk1> getafix: obviously you should do sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:19] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/   i was up all night trying to fix this and am at an end. if i am not providing enough detail, please let me know
[01:19] <coreymon77> can someone juswt explain to me how to revert to the working kernel images
[01:20] <cpk1> coreymon77: you should still have the old kernel installed in /boot so if there is a problem while booting make sure to choose the correct kernel
[01:20] <getafix> yeah i know i did it straight away, i meant more what it was doing
[01:20] <user__> cpk1: hey cpk, please hang tight, im going to try that gui out and see how it goes, brb
[01:20] <jmichaelx> coreymon77: your old kernels are still there, just choose one in the grub menu when you boot up, if what you just installed does not work, it isn't that big of a deal
[01:20] <Alethes> anybody else had any issues with konq grinding away when attempting to access any files with icon view?

[01:21] <cpk1> getafix: dpkg is the package tool and -a means all, so you are configuring all packages that need to be
[01:21] <getafix> ahh awesome thanks man
[01:22] <Bxnp> stdin: are you here
[01:22] <jmichaelx> underdog5004: ty no problem.... i will try that, although i tried everything last night, including reinstalling all of kde

[01:23] <spitwise> Bxnp: i'm researching for ya
[01:25] <Bxnp> thanks spitwise
[01:25] <jmichaelx> underdog5004: unfortunately it did not work....
[01:25] <Bxnp> i found the kmail directory as an hidden file in my home direcotry but cant copy that file to my usb stick
[01:25] <Bxnp> get an error
[01:26] <coreymon77> im okay
[01:26] <coreymon77> nothing happened
[01:26] <coreymon77> it didnt install
[01:26] <coreymon77> the new kernel didnt install
[01:26] <coreymon77> yes!
[01:28] <Bxnp> spitwise: i only need my mail
[01:28] <cpk1> Bxnp: it should save mail to .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail
[01:28] <Bxnp> exported my adressbook already as vcard
[01:28] <Bxnp> and i am uploading all my pictures to my ftp
[01:28] <jott> fribuntu: hmm ok you could try (as a bruteforce approach) toggle: MicBoost/MicPlayback/MonoOutputSelect and reduce capture to like 80% ..
[01:28] <Bxnp> oke i copy that direcotry
[01:30] <cpk1> Bxnp: that dir has sent mail too, if you want just recieved then its .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/
[01:31] <getafix> say i download a .tar.bz2 how do you install it?
[01:31] <underdog5004> jmichaelx, uh...it errors out for me a couple times, then it works...bleagh...I also do killall kaffeine
[01:32] <moparisthebest> how do I run something every hour in kubuntu?
[01:32] <moparisthebest> a shell script
[01:32] <moparisthebest> Im in /etc/crontab, but I dont know what I put for the options
[01:32] <fribuntu> jott: I have already tried that. Mic boost does increase the volume, but also the volume of the *beeeeep*
[01:33] <jmichaelx> underdog5004: i had never had any problems before... have used kubuntu/kaffeine on this laptop since breezy
[01:33] <cpk1> getafix: first you should make absolutely certain there isnt a deb of it first
[01:33] <fribuntu> jott: Interesting enough, I still get the beep, if I mute the mic and record what should be silence.
[01:33] <getafix> hmm theres just one link, and its for that
[01:34] <getafix> not .deb
[01:34] <jott> fribuntu: so mic is set as "CAPTUR", muted and you still get beep?
[01:34] <getafix> what consequently is .deb (debian)?
[01:34] <Bxnp> cpk1: thanks :)
[01:34] <fribuntu> jott: Yes.
[01:35] <cpk1> getafix: what are you trying to install?
[01:35] <getafix> I think just some theme things
[01:36] <getafix> but i've found a kubuntu deb for the same thing somewhere else, still opens the same extraction program what should i be doing with that
[01:36] <spitwise> moparisthebest: *3 command &
[01:36] <moparisthebest> spitwise, right now I have:
[01:36] <moparisthebest> 0  *	* * *	root    sh /root/getRS.sh
[01:36] <moparisthebest> is that right?
[01:37] <jonathan__> anyone know how to createa debian package from a bunch of extracted files
[01:37] <spitwise> actually */3 should also mean every hour
[01:37] <NkZ> Greetings.
[01:38] <NkZ> How do I set up a list of programs that I want to be run at startup (Something like Gnome's "Sessions" menu)
[01:40] <spitwise> moparisthebest: you have some chars i can't see in my terminal
[01:40] <Timbo_> icant play qpotato.com games with linux :(
[01:41] <NkZ> How do I set up a list of programs that I want to be run at startup (Something like Gnome's "Sessions" menu)
[01:41] <spitwise> NkZ: you can use your .bashrc
[01:41] <moparisthebest> Im in the file /etc/crontab spitwise
[01:41] <moparisthebest> all of my lines are formatted like the one I pasted
[01:41] <moparisthebest> but 0 should run it every hour or not?
[01:41] <NkZ> spitwuse: sudo view .bashrc?
[01:44] <user__> cpk1: you still here?
[01:44] <zblach> hey, i just got an external HDD larger than my laptop's. what should I use for archiving everything?
[01:44] <zblach> and what should I archive?
[01:44] <spitwise> NkZ: or edit /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:44] <user__> cpk1: i formated the drives with gtparted, ext3 format, now what should i do?
[01:45] <spitwise> ya sudo kate /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:45] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/   i was up all night trying to fix this and am at an end. if i am not providing enough detail, please let me know  |   the kde crash handler says 'signal 11 (SIGSEGV)'
[01:45] <user__> cpk1: ???
[01:47] <cpk1> user__: use them?
[01:47] <user__> cpk1: lol.... uhhhh i formated them but they dont come up in my storage media folder
[01:47] <vbgunz> anyone know how to tell why some upgrades don't happen? e.g., I have 3 updates but they will not apply. Why?
[01:47] <spitwise> jmichaelx: what happens when you try to play?
[01:48] <cpk1> user__: you need to mount them
[01:48] <cpk1> and possibly partition them
[01:48] <jmichaelx> spitwise: i just get the kde crash handler
[01:49] <user__> cpk1: ok, how do i go about doing that?
[01:49] <spitwise> have you tried vlc, mplayer, etc?
[01:49] <vbgunz> I got linux-headers|image|restricted-modules-generic updates, (3 updates) but cannot apply them. Adept update only says BREAK (upgrade) ... so, what do I do to fix it?
[01:49] <jmichaelx> spitwise: vlc and mplayer work fine
[01:49] <user__> cpk1: terminal and... sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda????????
[01:50] <cpk1> thats how you format it
[01:50] <user__> cpk1: oh, ok, gotcha
[01:50] <cpk1> gparted or qtparted would probably be simpler for you
[01:50] <user__> cpk1: i just uesed them to format it, they will mount thru that as well?
[01:51] <jmichaelx> spitwise: kaffeine crashed while playing a video last night, and has refused to work since (using xine engine)
[01:52] <spitwise> have you tried reinstalling or dpkg-reconfigure?
[01:53] <zblach> jmichaelx: killall kaffeine
[01:53] <zblach> and then start it up again
[01:53] <user__> cpk1: ??
[01:54] <baracuda> hey guys
[01:54] <jmichaelx> spitwise: yes, i have uninstalled, purged and re-installed for hours on end..... i even uninstalled and re-installed all of kubuntu-desktop / kde
[01:54] <spitwise> have the latest xine libs?
[01:54] <jmichaelx> spitwise: yeah, it isn't that
[01:54] <baracuda> jmichaelx I see you're having kubuntu probs too
[01:54] <spitwise> oh man
[01:55] <jmichaelx> it crashd while playing the vid.... i have had kubuntu on this laptop for a year, and things were fine until last night
[01:56] <baracuda> you're lucky jmichael I've only used kubuntu for about a week and this is my third installation
[01:56] <user__> o mannnnn.....  :(  anyone else know how to mount sata hd's?
[01:57] <jmichaelx> baracuda: after a rough start , i have gotten along well with kubuntu... i love it...
[01:57] <baracuda>  now I can't access my home folder, adept and many other applictions .. I tried to remove soem deb applications in terminal but it says it's locked
[01:58] <spitwise> jmichaelx: have you tried using the gstreamer engine instead?
[01:58] <baracuda> jmichaelx I hope I get to the stage when I say I go along well with kubunto too
[01:58] <jmichaelx> i am going to have to reinstall, i think, which makes me want to cry...... getting wireless to work and getting the screen resolution working were my biggest headaches of all.... they are what caused my re-installs
[01:58] <spitwise> what machine do you have?
[01:59] <jmichaelx> spit, no, but i guess i could try....
[01:59] <user__> soooo no one knows how to mount drives?
[01:59] <baracuda>  it's always a bother to have to reinstall :(
[01:59] <jmichaelx> baracuda: yeah, it is
[02:00] <baracuda> where is uboto
[02:00] <baracuda> or is it ubotu
[02:00] <user__> can anyone PLEASE help me mount this hd?
[02:00] <jmichaelx> spitwise: i have a dell dimension b130
[02:00] <GM_Debian> user__: what is the problem
[02:00] <getafix> anyone able to direct me to YOUR_HOME/.qt where would it be located?
[02:01] <baracuda> user I wish I could .. I can't even mount my home folder :(
[02:01] <user__> GM_Debian: well, ive got to the point where i have formated them with gtparted and do not know how to mount them, they are all sata
[02:01] <earl_> anyone here know a decent amount about samba?
[02:02] <user__> GM_Debian: its been a VERY long time since ive mounted drives and totally dont rember how to
[02:02] <GM_Debian> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html
[02:02] <user__> GM_Debian: and they were ide back them
[02:03] <GM_Debian> earl_: whats the prob?
[02:03] <earl_> I am trying to share a folder to some other windows compies
[02:03] <earl_> but none of them can see it...
[02:03] <spitwise> jmichaelx: well i see threads about xine+kaffeine probs
[02:03] <earl_> also, I cannot access a shared printer on another windows box from this kubuntu box
[02:03] <spitwise> your not alone
[02:03] <spitwise> don;t do a new install b/c of buggy software
[02:03] <baracuda> status database area is locked by another process   ???   how can I unlock it ?
[02:04] <jmichaelx> spitwise: it is just that i had no problems until i was in the middle of a video last night... i have no idea what engine it was using, but i would be pretty sure it was xine
[02:04] <spitwise> user__: what type of drive?
[02:04] <GM_Debian> earl_: checked all the basics, same workgroup etc
[02:04] <jmichaelx> spitwise: i don't think it is the software
[02:05] <earl_> well, as far as linux goes, i dont even know how to -set- workgroups.
[02:05] <GM_Debian> earl_: you have basic tcp connectivity between boxes
[02:05] <lunchbox> !Adept unlock
[02:05] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[02:05] <earl_> yeah. there is no doubt there is tcp connectivity, when i search for printers i can see the names of the other computers, i just can't find the printers
[02:06] <user__> spitwise: they are all sata
[02:06] <spitwise> external drives ?
[02:06] <user__> spitwise: western digital
[02:06] <user__> spitwise: no, internal
[02:06] <spitwise> hd's i mean
[02:06] <spitwise> ok
[02:06] <user__> spitwise: yah but this thing im reading isnt helping to much... :(
[02:07] <user__> spitwise: do you know if theres a site that has just the commands, i dont need to read why this and that happens, i just need it to happen, so i can copy and paste some command in and presto, 5mins and up and running
[02:08] <user__> spitwise: anything like that exist?
[02:09] <spitwise> mount /dev/hda? /mnt/mountpoint
[02:09] <GM_Debian> user__: what was wrong with the one i gave you
[02:09] <jmichaelx> what file or setting allows a person to see an icon with a preview of each video file? that also quit working last night at the exact time that i started having video problems
[02:09] <user__> GM_Debian: well, its not all to specific to the issue, they are all satas, not floppies, and i dont know how to create that intital mount point.
[02:10] <GM_Debian> mkdir
[02:10] <user__> GM_Debian: and secondly, i have until tonight to find out if they are all functioning fine because the instore return is tomorrow
[02:10] <user__> so im alittle stressed
[02:10] <user__> lol
[02:10] <spitwise> user__: ttp://www.smorgasbord.net/how_to_install_second_hard_drive_ubuntu_linux
[02:11] <spitwise> ls /etc/fstab to find /dev/wheresmydrive
[02:11] <zblach> sorta
[02:12] <zblach> /etc/fstab links hardware (in /dev) to folders
[02:12] <spitwise> not sure what exactly you wanna do bu that url looks useful
[02:12] <jmichaelx> spitwise: also...democracyplayer crashes immediately when launched now.... maybe this isn't even an issue with xine.....
[02:13] <user__> spitwise: thanks man, but same issue.  so i have to edit fstab to get these all up and running
[02:13] <user__> i thought sata would be different?
[02:13] <angasule> adept updater shows I can upgrade the kernel, but it doesn't automatically select it for upgrade, why is that? is it safe to upgrade?
[02:13] <jmichaelx> can someone tell me what file or setting allows a person to see an icon with a preview of each video file in konqueror?
[02:13] <Jucato> angasule: it's a known issue. it won't upgrade anything at all, so it's safe to ignore
[02:13] <cpk1> fstab is for automounting stuff, you dont need it to mount, you make a random directory anywhere and then do sudo mount /dev/sd* /imade/this/for/fun
[02:14] <sleepy745> Anyone have skdata for SuperKaramba? How do I change the months into English?
[02:14] <cpk1> if in the future you want your satas to mount on boot then yes you will need fstab entries for them
[02:14] <cpk1> first concentrate on mounting them
[02:14] <sleepy745> its in Italian right now
[02:15] <angasule> Jucato: so it's safe to select those packages for upgrade so it will stop pestering me?
[02:15] <spitwise> cpk1: how do you find out out what it is? /dev/sd???
[02:15] <Jucato> angasule: even if you select them, they will be held back
[02:15] <user__> spitwise: well that didnt work.......
[02:15] <cpk1> angasule: there seems to be a problem with the kernal upgrade though
[02:15] <user__> jesus christ....
[02:15] <angasule> Jucato: bummer
[02:16] <cpk1> spitwise: sudo lshw will tell you the logical name
[02:16] <angasule> oh, well, gotta go make a phone call
[02:16] <Jucato> angasule: so there's nothing you can do right now except to ignore the notifcation
[02:16] <spitwise> cpk1: sweet thanks for da info]
[02:17] <earl_> GM_Debian: how do i set the workgroup on my linux compy?
[02:17] <GM_Debian> dmesg|grep sd
[02:17] <user__> GM_Debian: i cant mkdir
[02:17] <cpk1> user__: also note that I cant remember the last time I added a new hard drive and might be forgetting something, for instance I am not sure if you need to make a partition out of it or not, but it wouldnt hurt to try to
[02:17] <GM_Debian> in smb.conf , workgroup = foo
[02:18] <cpk1> user__: you can mkdir in your home folder otherwise you might need sudo
[02:18] <user__> lol.... naw man, i dont need any partiions
[02:18] <GM_Debian> user__: as cpk1 said, need sudo or mount in your home
[02:18] <user__> i tried this: $ sudo mkdir /media/XXXXXX
[02:18] <user__> not the xxx's, but yu get the jist
[02:19] <cpk1> that will work
[02:19] <cpk1> and then do sudo mount /dev/sd* /media/XXXXX
[02:19] <jmichaelx> can someone tell me what file or setting allows a person to see an icon with a preview of video files in konqueror?
[02:21] <troxor> would someone kindly refresh my memory on the method to have dapper automatically update every so often (the ubuntu way, without putting dist-upgrade in a cronjob) ?
[02:22] <getafix> anyone able to tell me where you change the colour of the bottom task bar?
[02:22] <infornography> I just installed kubuntu, is there a reason that the kernel packages are being held back when I try to update? and is it a problem?
[02:22] <user__> cpk1: spitwise GM_Debian........ i love you guys....
[02:22] <user__> lol
[02:23] <user__> it worked!
[02:23] <spitwise> jmichaelx: look in kcontrol > KDE Components >  File Associations
[02:23] <jmichaelx> spitwise: ty
[02:23] <troxor> getafix: right click->configure panel ->appearance
[02:24] <getafix> awesome ta troxor was looking in appereance
[02:24] <spitwise> jmichaelx: not sure if that'll help though
[02:25] <Jucato> jmichaelx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3 <--- there's a section there about video previews in konqueror (applies to Dapper and Edgy)
[02:26] <jmichaelx> spitwise: those previews stopped working when the video crashed..... there is something going on that is not allowing those previews, and i think it is the same problem i am having with kaffeine-xine and democracyplayer
[02:27] <spitwise> but the weird thing is that vlc and mplayer *do* work
[02:28] <jmichaelx> yeah
[02:28] <jmichaelx> this is strange and frustrating
[02:29] <GM_Debian> previews are managed from settings -> configure konq -> previews and meta-data
[02:29] <spitwise> kaffeine is kinda shady if ya ask me
[02:29] <spitwise> i do use it but i prefer vlc for video
[02:31] <BluesKaj> shady?
[02:31] <spitwise> shaday
[02:32] <GM_Debian> libarts1-xine
[02:32] <spitwise> it craps out on me at times
[02:32] <GM_Debian> i think is the package that actually controls the video previews though
[02:34] <GM_Debian> ok
[02:35] <GM_Debian> confirmed it, install libarts1-xine, then you will have the option view -> previews -> video preview
[02:35] <specialbuddy> what's a shortcut to go to different desktops?
[02:35] <user__> crap... new problem... how do i get write permissions?
[02:36] <Jucato> specialbuddy: Ctrl+Tab by default
[02:36] <Jucato> specialbuddy: or Ctrl+Fn
[02:36] <specialbuddy> chmod u+rwx
[02:36] <user__> cpk1: do you know how?
[02:36] <specialbuddy> user_, what are you trying to do?
[02:37] <user__> specialbuddy: trying to get wrie permission to my recently mounted drives
[02:37] <user__> specialbuddy: to copy files over
[02:37] <GM_Debian> user__: what are they formatted as?
[02:37] <spitwise> sudo chown -R user:user /mountpoint
[02:37] <specialbuddy> oh
[02:37] <specialbuddy> you might have to edit fstab to do that
[02:37] <user__> GM_Debian: all are ext3
[02:37] <spitwise> mm ya
[02:38] <spitwise> chmod -R 755 /driveblah
[02:38] <jmichaelx> does any of you know how to install and configure 915 resolution?
[02:38] <user__> spitwise: so which one should i use?
[02:39] <specialbuddy> is there a way to get to my other desktops with a shortcut?  ctrl+tab only goes to other windows not desktops
[02:39] <GM_Debian> user__: is it beacuse you dont have perms to write to them, or they are mounted ro?
[02:40] <user__> GM_Debian: well i made mount point, mounted them, they are accesable, but cannot be written too
[02:40] <GM_Debian> no, not if you do it like that
[02:40] <GM_Debian> will only be writable by root
[02:40] <user__> GM_Debian: argh....
[02:41] <user__> GM_Debian: so how do i mke it so i can read write, etc, freely?
[02:41] <GM_Debian> chuck the mount stanza in your /etc/fstab
[02:41] <sampan> specialbuddy  i think the default is cntl-f#
[02:41] <user__> GM_Debian: .... riiiight
[02:41] <user__> lol
[02:42] <user__> GM_Debian: and how do i do that??
[02:42] <GM_Debian> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[02:42] <getafix> how can I get kubuntu wasing my 4 and 5 buttons for back and forward through windows?
[02:43] <getafix> urr using
[02:43] <user__> GM_Debian: okkk got some funky stuff here, now what?
[02:43] <charlie5> hi all ... when i opened up the 'kubuntu updates' icon today, there was a list of upgradeable packages where some were selected automatically for update, but severl were not ... i've not seen this before ... does that mean there might be a problem if i try to do those updates ?
[02:44] <slyfox> Does anyone has transparancy enabled in Windows ?
[02:44] <GM_Debian> and chuck : /dev/sdx <mntpoint> ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[02:44] <baracuda> Yes!!  solved my problem by chance,  it was all caused by an unfinished java jre  installation :)
[02:45] <slyfox> I mean does anyone have transparancy enabled in KDE windows ? does it work? I cant get mine to work
[02:45] <main> hey how do i uninstall windows prgrams i installed with wine??
[02:45] <baracuda> now I have back my adept,vlc,konquero....etc
[02:45] <main> ?
[02:46] <specialbuddy> does anyone know how to got to different desktops by just pressing some shortcut keys?
[02:46] <main> ??
[02:46] <user__> GM_Debian: ummm big problem.  none of my sata drives come up.  only my windows partiion, fat32 swap, swap, and linux parition come up
[02:46] <user__> need windows for games unfortunately
[02:46] <baracuda> the only major problem I now have is to have sound in kaffeine player when I watch tv  and the codecs for it to play avi's ..etc
[02:46] <charlie5> the packages which were not automatically requested for update all involve the kenerl (linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic & linux_restricted-modules) ... would it be safe to upgrade these ?
[02:46] <GM_Debian> sudo mount -a
[02:46] <main> hellpp
[02:47] <main> i dont know how to uninstall windows programs i installe dwith wine
[02:47] <baracuda> Can anyone help with my kaffeine problem !  I would appreciate that very much
[02:47] <main> cant find drive c anywhere
[02:47] <Gretl> charlie5: you have to wait its a known issue  till the kernels are ready
[02:47] <Gretl> charlie5: probably tomorrow
[02:48] <charlie5> Gretl: ah, thank you ... so i should not update them at the moment
[02:48] <main> >??
[02:48] <charlie5> tomorrow ... thats no problem
[02:48] <user__> GM_Debian: that didnt do anything
[02:48] <Gretl> charlie5:  no do nothing just wait
[02:49] <charlie5> Gretl: thanks again ... probably saved me from klutzing my system ... cheers :)
[02:49] <spitwise> specialbuddy: ctrl + tab
[02:49] <baracuda> or maybe someone can tell me how to install codecs for kaffeine ?
[02:49] <spitwise> ctrl + f1 ,2,3,4 or so
[02:49] <underdog5004> baracuda, sudo apt-cache search codec
[02:49] <underdog5004> baracuda, then you pick and choose what you want to install

[02:50] <bxnphardwareprob> oke who helped me with my kmail backup
[02:50] <deathnote> hi i would like to know if i plug a new Pci card in let's say a tv card, will kubuntu auto detect and install or i have to do something from the console?
[02:51] <user__> gm?
[02:51] <user__> GM_Debian: ?
[02:52] <jmichaelx> if anyone could help , it would be greatly appreciated.... last night kaffeine crashed while playing a video... since then i kaffeine crashes when using the xine engine. also, programs like democracyplayer and amarok also crash. thanks in advance for the assistance
[02:52] <Gretl> deathnote: it autodetect most tv cards
[02:52] <jmichaelx> spitwise: i just discovered that amarok will not work either
[02:52] <spitwise> i assume you have done a reboot
[02:52] <baracuda> underdog I have the list of the cache, can you give me the syntax for install ?
[02:52] <Gretl> deathnote: but make sure in some forum the card is not at blacklist before buying
[02:53] <jmichaelx> spitwise: were you asking me whether or not i had rebooted?
[02:53] <user__> ok so gm is gone, can anyone esle help with the permissions issue?
[02:53] <deathnote> i would like to know how to manage, view or know my hardwares better like what is /dev etc.. actually
[02:54] <spitwise> jmichaelx: heh ya
[02:54] <baracuda> are all the codecs in cache available for installation or already installed ?
[02:54] <user__> basically all i need is to have all permissions gone so i can read and write to my drives freely
[02:54] <spitwise> deathnote: cpkle told me this cool command: sudo lshw
[02:54] <jmichaelx> spitwise: no, maybe i should at this point
[02:54] <jmichaelx> brb
[02:55] <Gretl> deathnote: to view what is installed go to info center
[02:55] <kgx> spitwise: nice :D
[02:55] <user__> spi
[02:55] <user__> spitwise: do you know how?
[02:55] <spitwise> ya cool stuff
[02:56] <spitwise> user__: look here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[02:58] <deathnote> hi.. i used lshw .. so those devices listed are suppose to be in /dev ?
[02:58] <underdog5004> baracuda, I think so
[02:59] <spitwise> deathnote: ya
[02:59] <spitwise> sudo lshw | less
[02:59] <spitwise> then type /dev to search
[02:59] <spitwise> n to go to next instance
[02:59] <deathnote> eg i wanna find where's my sound.. is it in /dev/snd ? or /dev/audio or /dev/dsp ??
[03:00] <spitwise> <-search for dev <- this word
[03:00] <spitwise>  /
[03:00] <spitwise> oh
[03:01] <deathnote> i saw alot of /dev/hda or hdc..but i guess its harddisk and cdrom..for my multimedia audio it doesn't have /dev/xxxx
[03:02] <Gretl> perhaps you take a look at the grafik interface
[03:02] <Gretl> system -> infocenter
[03:03] <NkZ> Greetings

[03:08] <user__> edited the fstab
[03:08] <spitwise> kewl
[03:08] <user__> tried the chown stuff
[03:08] <user__> didnt work
[03:08] <Jucato> actually, there's no problem with updating... coz nothing will happen
[03:08] <spitwise> sudo chmod 777 /whereitsmounted
[03:08] <spitwise> may work .
[03:09] <KalakChiPetra> I got the main kernel update there are just 2 others that wont upgrade

[03:10] <deathnote> can someone care to explain what's /dev actually?
[03:10] <d0uglas> (got Momma [a laptop with]  the AMD]  etc)
[03:10] <KalakChiPetra> I really need a new box
[03:10] <user__> spitwise: nope.... still no
[03:10] <user__> argh this is a disaster
[03:11] <NkZ> deathnote: As far as I know dude, It's the "Devices" folder. That is: CDRoms, USBdisk and bla bla bla
[03:11] <user__> anyone care to weigh in on this permissions nightmare?
[03:11] <getafix> how do you write in kate theres like . that comes up when you hit space but how do you leave spaces so you the code line you're entering looks the same as the rest?
[03:12] <KalakChiPetra> The only files I cannot update are linux-image-386 and linux-restricted-modules-386
[03:12] <valdivia> hola

[03:18] <ubotu> To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.

[03:35] <Thehound666> I attempted the fglrx drivers which now cause xserver to freeze upon load
[03:36] <user__> deathnote: im not trying to get into windows.  windows exists only for games.  i need to be able to use my 3 sata drives that i have just mounted
[03:36] <user__> deathnote: basically, all i need to do is just turn off all permissions somehow
[03:37] <Kamui> I need a good osx style dock that plays nice with kde
[03:37] <Kamui> any suggestions
[03:37] <Kamui> kiba-dock sucks
[03:37] <user__> deathnote: or whatever it is, all i need to do is to be able to read and write to all my hd's and problem solved
[03:37] <goodthing> user__: at least you can go into windows, i bought a dell laptop and can only boot straight into a bsod after one week usage
[03:37] <user__> i woulnd never buy a pc
[03:38] <user__> i put this baby together myself
[03:38] <user__> and i also hate dell

[03:38] <user__> badddddddddddd bad parts
[03:38] <Thehound666> guess I'll have to use the windows program to backup my files from windows and format Kubuntu
[03:38] <Thehound666> again
[03:38] <user__> yahhhh laptops are i dunno.... all that heat pipe stuff is bs
[03:39] <user__> from my opinion heat pipes actually only work from a theoretical standpoint
[03:39] <cpk1> user__: so as root can you make a file on the satas? try touch /media/eva01/test
[03:39] <user__> but anyways
[03:40] <user__> cpk1: nope.....
[03:40] <deathnote> user__: could u pls be more descriptive like what's the error?

[03:43] <deathnote> user__: type "ls /media/eva01/" what u see?
[03:44] <user__> ok first, the -R +x didnt work, the test command didnt do anything, and eva from evangelion, dunno why, just seemd appropriate for some reason, and let me try the ls thing

[03:47] <KalakChiPetra> if his windows is NTSF he cant write to it
[03:47] <deathnote> user__: yea if u could type the command here on how u put some data there
[03:48] <deathnote> KalakChiPetra: yea hey is there any way to write in ntfs file system?
[03:48] <cpk1> user__: dont use a gui, try doing sudo cp /some/file/inmyhome /media/eva01/somename
[03:48] <user__> ok, A: i cannot create folders and such.  B:  i cannot copy information from an external harddrive to any of the sata drives
[03:48] <KalakChiPetra> none that I know of
[03:48] <cpk1> user__: also try going into /media/eva01 and then do mkdir testdir
[03:48] <surgy> anyone know the status of that bug fix to fix the update bug?
[03:49] <cpk1> sudo mkdir*
[03:49] <Hobbsee> surgy: in progress
[03:49] <surgy> hobbsee: kewl thnx
[03:49] <cpk1> Hobbsee: dont you think it would be useful to put the forum link in the topic?
[03:49] <KalakChiPetra> deathnote: thats why I keep a fat32 to move files between Windows and linux
[03:49] <Hobbsee> surgy: it's a bug in the releasing software
[03:49] <user__> bash: /media/eva01: is a directory
[03:49] <Hobbsee> cpk1: what forum link?
[03:49] <Hobbsee> cpk1: forums tend not to always be accurate
[03:50] <deathnote> hahaha
[03:50] <Kamui> hi Jucato
[03:50] <cpk1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356408
[03:50] <Kamui> tried kxdocker
[03:50] <Kamui> its broken
[03:50] <Kamui> kiba-dock sucks
[03:50] <Hobbsee> deathnote: ?
[03:50] <Kamui> but I thought there was at least one other "good" one
[03:50] <deathnote> user__: 1) cd /media/eva01 , 2) sudo mkdir testdir , 3) ls -l
[03:50] <deathnote> Hobbsee: sorry what?
[03:51] <KalakChiPetra> kxdocker works for me
[03:51] <goodthing> kxdocker is fun, but took a lot of cpu and system responsiveness here when i last tried
[03:51] <Hobbsee> deathnote: was trying to figure out why you were laughing

[03:53] <Hobbsee> deathnote: ah
[03:53] <cpk1> user__: you obviously can read write, if your normal user cant write then that is not nearly as bad
[03:53] <Hobbsee> cpk1: replied to it
[03:53] <deathnote> yeah
[03:53] <user__> lol.... ok, so WHY can i not creat files, and cannot copy from an external hd?
[03:54] <Hobbsee> s/tag/avator
[03:54] <cpk1> user tell me the full path of something you want to copy to the sata?
[03:55] <cpk1> Hobbsee: heh, well i suppose that will make some people sleep easier =)
[03:55] <user__> dude im just as confused as you
[03:55] <user__> lol
[03:55] <Hobbsee> cpk1: heh.  yes
[03:55] <Hobbsee> cpk1: actually, i'm surprised they didnt get that update months ago, when it was first out
[03:55] <user__> im copying from here: /media/eva02-1/HDD02-TVanime
[03:55] <Hobbsee> in fact, i'm not convinced that they didnt.
[03:56] <user__> its external, dont get confused
[03:56] <user__> its my old system to the new
[03:56] <KalakChiPetra> im drunk, I get confuzzled easily
[03:57] <cpk1> user__: so sudo cp /media/eva02-1/HDD02-TVanime /media/eva01/HDD02-TVanime doesnt work?
[03:57] <Jucato> Hobbsee: thanks for replying to the thread. :)
[03:57] <Hobbsee> https://launchpad.net/bugs/84084
[03:58] <Jucato> O.O
[03:58] <cpk1> Hobbsee: lol, some guy in #ubuntu was complaining about that earlier today
[03:58] <darkholme> hi everybody
[03:58] <Hobbsee> cpk1: about supertux?
[03:58] <underdog5004> awww, why's supertux unstable?
[03:59] <darkholme> I have a question I hope you'll know the answer:
[03:59] <cpk1> Hobbsee: yeah, he said that if you dont have 3d acceleration dont get .3
[03:59] <Hobbsee> underdog5004: it's a snapshot release
[03:59] <cpk1> and i was thinking the whole time "its a 2d game"
[03:59] <underdog5004> !snapshot
[03:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snapshot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:59] <user__> cpk1:  thats thru terminal though, thats the prob, i need to get this functional thru konqueror
[03:59] <underdog5004> Is that for devs?
[03:59] <cpk1> user__: so that works?
[03:59] <Hobbsee> underdog5004: not really.  it works, but isnt final
[03:59] <user__> i didnt try it because im not copying the whole file
[04:00] <cpk1> user__: try copying something from your home directory into eva01
[04:00] <user__> obviously things can be written from terminal to the drive
[04:00] <user__> ok one sec
[04:00] <cpk1> without using sudo btw
[04:01] <cpk1> lol, i just now thought of closing adept notifier haha
[04:01] <deathnote> well anyone know what's the command to mount the sda1 which allow for all user rights?
[04:01] <user__> cpk1: nope, no go
[04:01] <user__> i cannot drag and drop
[04:01] <cpk1> been bugging me all day
[04:01] <deathnote> maybe that can help user__
[04:01] <kari> can someone give me a source for w32 codecs ?  the one I found is deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free non-free    and it's not working  :(
[04:01] <user__> and i connot create files
[04:01] <darkholme> i have a problem installing kubuntu...I have tried all the cds I mean alternate, live cd, install etc....the problem is that my computer is not running the setup.....the computer is configure to boot from the cd but it is not launching this setup....I have tried with other distros and it's ok but with Kubuntu edgy it's not working...somebody told me that's maybe because my computer is not recognizing "iso linux" so he told me to create a 3 1/2 disc to boo
[04:02] <user__> cpk1: sorry for bugging you man, i really appreciate the help
[04:02] <user__> after this issue, i wont really ever have any issues i hope
[04:02] <kari> does anyone have a source for me to get  w32 codecs ?
[04:02] <jarn> Who makes the packages that are in the ubuntu repos?
[04:03] <user__> everything else is pretty straight forward except this mounting business....  never fails, problems everytime i try
[04:03] <Hobbsee> jarn: multiple people.  what in particular is your question?
[04:03] <Jucato> jarn: depends on which part of the repos
[04:03] <Gretl> !restricted | kari
[04:03] <ubotu> kari: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:03] <cpk1> you can try mounting with sudo mount -t ext3 -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/eva01
[04:03] <deathnote> user__: ahh..for u i'll plug in my ipod and see what's the mount
[04:03] <deathnote> brb
[04:03] <jarn> Well, I would like to make a suggestion that the package for Amarok be compiled with MTP support, since it would be really nice and a lot of people have MTP mp3 players.
[04:04] <user__> hahaha lol thanks man
[04:04] <jarn> And I was wondering where to do that.
[04:04] <darkholme> :8
[04:04] <darkholme> :(
[04:04] <kari> I went through the ubotu sites and the one link for supositories is not working :(
[04:04] <user__> cpk1: mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /media/eva01 busy
[04:04] <Hobbsee> Jucato: does in feisty, i think it does in edgy too
[04:04] <user__> cpk1: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/eva01
[04:04] <jarn> No, it doesn't.
[04:05] <jarn> You have to compile it with it.
[04:05] <Jucato> jarn: have you tried upgrading to Amarok 1.4.5?
[04:05] <user__> cp it put out those 2 lines
[04:05] <Hobbsee> right.  does in feisty then.
[04:05] <deathnote> user__ can u type "id user" and paste for me?
[04:05] <cpk1> user__: obviously you have to unmount it first, sudo umount /media/eva01
[04:05] <jarn> With special flags.
[04:05] <kari> I guess no one here watches avi's dvds mpegs on their linux machine  :)
[04:05] <jarn> Jucato: I haven't used the 1.4.5 from the repos, but I know 1.4.3 was not compiled with MTP support.
[04:06] <Jucato> jarn: Amarok 1.4.5 form the kubuntu.org repos might already have that
[04:06] <cpk1> kari: i do, and i followed the ubuntu wiki
[04:06] <Jucato> kari: install libxine-extracodecs as the wiki instructed
[04:06] <user__> deathnote: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4811/
[04:06] <user__> i dunno what that will do
[04:07] <Hobbsee> Jucato: 1.4.5 from kubuntu.org repos definetly should.
[04:07] <kari> trying again
[04:07] <Hobbsee> Jucato: seeing as that's just feisty backported
[04:07] <kari> thanks guys
[04:07] <jarn> Hobbsee: I'll take a look. But I KNOW that 1.4.3 didn't.
[04:07] <Jucato> Hobbsee: ah. jarn did you hear that ^^^
[04:07] <Hobbsee> jarn: yes.  hence the suggested upgreade.
[04:07] <cpk1> dapper people use 1.4.3
[04:07] <jarn> Indeed.
[04:07] <Hobbsee> er, upgrade
[04:07] <K`zan> I've got the builtin sound card on /dev/mixer and the USB headset on /dev/mixer1.  How can I get the output from tvtime (hardwired into /dev/mixer CD input)?  TIA!
[04:07] <deathnote> user__: ok i got it
[04:07] <jarn> Hobbsee: They just released 1.4.5 a few days ago... :P
[04:07] <Hobbsee> jarn: true.  there are packages for it too :P
[04:07] <jarn> Hobbsee: So up until a few days ago, everyone used 1.4.3.
[04:08] <user__> deathnote: you know whats wrong!?!?!
[04:08] <user__> ?
[04:08] <Hobbsee> jarn: what happened to 1.4.4, which also included mtp support?
[04:08] <jarn> Hobbsee: Oh, hrm, I missed that I guess.
[04:08] <Jucato> in Amarok itself, I mean
[04:08] <Hobbsee> Jucato: or it was majorly fixed then, yeah.  something like that
[04:08] <cpk1> just noticed i am on 1.4.3 =\
[04:09] <cpk1> user__: did you mount it with defaults?
[04:09] <Hobbsee> cpk1: yes.  we cant backport versions thru -updates
[04:09] <Hobbsee> :(
[04:10] <user__> cpk1: yup they were all mounted with defaults, as the onlne guide said to do so
[04:11] <K`zan> Is there anything like a patch panel where I can route various inputs to a specific output?
[04:11] <kari> Jucato Thanks !!!!!  it's finally working, I can watch tv and watch files  cheers mate
[04:12] <Jucato> no problem
[04:12] <kari> all I have to do now is look for another problem to solve :)
[04:13] <user__> this sucks,,,, i think i may have to cross over into windows and format the drives to ntfs to test and go thru all this garbage again
[04:13] <user__> frick
[04:13] <jarn> Hrm.
[04:13] <jarn> I just installed the Amarok from the repos and it won't start up.
[04:13] <kari> maybe not .. I think i'll sit back and enjoy the latest triumph :)
[04:13] <kari>
[04:13] <jarn> A box in the middle of the screen appears for a second then dissapears.
[04:13] <jarn> No erros in the terminal.
[04:14] <user__> does ubuntu auto mount and auto detect?
[04:14] <user__> personanlly i like kde way better, but this is a critical issue
[04:14] <user__> and for some reason there is no sudo command like sudo remove damned permissions
[04:14] <user__> that would be great
[04:15] <Hobbsee> jarn: move .kde/share/apps/amarok and .kde/share/config/amarok*
[04:15] <Hobbsee> out of the way
[04:15] <Hobbsee> then it starts
[04:15] <Hobbsee> (config files appear not to be compatible)
[04:16] <jarn> Ah.
[04:16] <jarn> How odd.
[04:16] <d0uglas> Got a laptop with a 64 bit chip, got a 32 bit kubuntu disk. Can i do an install that'll take advantage of the 64bit chip by, i guess, apt getting the right kernel or do i need to download the right 64 bit install disk
[04:17] <cpk1> he left...
[04:17] <Hobbsee> d0uglas: the latter.
[04:17] <d0uglas> damn.
[04:18] <d0uglas> k
[04:18] <cpk1> cant have been too important if he is going to give up that easily
[04:18] <deathnote> what's the command to mount with uid=1000 and gid=1000 ?
[04:18] <deathnote> couldn't find
[04:18] <fignew> mount as roo
[04:18] <fignew> root*
[04:19] <d0uglas> lspci says Broadcom Unknown Device 4311 (rev 01).. can i ndiswrap my way out of this or should i exchange this laptop
[04:19] <Jucato> !away > Sess-away
[04:20] <Sess-away> sorry jucato
[04:20] <Sess-away> damn it
[04:20] <Kamui> there, I wont do it anymore :)
[04:20] <jarn> 1.4.5 does not seem to have MTP support packaged with it.
[04:20] <Jucato> :)
[04:20] <fignew> d0uglas: no need to exchange... even if drivers don't exist you can change out the minipci wireless card
[04:20] <jarn> Or atleast, it's not recognizing my MTP player.
[04:22] <jarn> Anyone know?
[04:23] <cpk1> oh my, after getting more repos from easy source I have 162 megs worth of downloads now
[04:24] <deathnote> oh i got it..but he's gone
[04:25] <crimsun> jarn: check the output from apt-cache showsrc amarok |grep ^Build |grep libmtp-dev >/dev/null ; echo $?
[04:25] <theshadow> please tell me someone here has used umbrello?
[04:27] <Hobbsee> crimsun: the fact that libmtp2 doesnt seem to be a dep of even feisty's amarok worries me.
[04:28] <pgdown> does anyone have trouble fastforwarding/rewinding with VLC?
[04:28] <CaseyOmah> I changed monitors on my system and now I can't get into X. what is a CLI for res change in X?
[04:29] <jarn> crimsun: Ah, I had 1.4.4 installed instead of 1.4.5. Apparently amarok-latest hasn't been updated to 1.4.5, when I changed it to amarok-145 I got it.
[04:32] <crimsun> Hobbsee: amarok is in depwait for libmtp 0.1.3 to be binary NEWed
[04:32] <Jucato> heh... dev talk...
[04:33] <Jucato> didn't even make a single sense :P
[04:33] <Hobbsee> crimsun: for 1.4.5?
[04:33] <Hobbsee> crimsun: fun
[04:33] <crimsun> Jucato: "The latest amarok source upload is waiting for the latest libmtp upload to be accepted by the Ubuntu archive admins"
[04:34] <Jucato> crimsun: hehe thanks :)
[04:34] <Jucato> crimsun: although the way you said it first looks kooler :)
[04:35] <revdjenk> CaseyOmah: i am researching your question
[04:35] <pgdown> what video player do you guy use?
[04:35] <pgdown> vlc is driving me crazy...
[04:35] <Captain_Redbeard> Hmm bah, my amarok 1.4.5 running on Kubuntu feisty wont build its database... it will create its database and tables but then it wont fill them with any informations
[04:35] <Captain_Redbeard> no matter the permissions of the file it's searching for etc
[04:36] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: that bug has already been fixed. Use a more current mirror.
[04:36] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: uhm ok? what repo is it in?
[04:36] <cpk1> pgdown: i usually use kaffeine
[04:37] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: dpkg -l amarok|grep ^ii|awk '{print $3}'
[04:37] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: and when was it fixed?
[04:37] <Hobbsee> Captain_Redbeard: days ago
[04:37] <Hobbsee> Captain_Redbeard: edgy or feisty?
[04:37] <Captain_Redbeard> Hmmm
[04:37] <Captain_Redbeard> feisty
[04:37] <crimsun> Tue, 06 Feb 2007 19:36:32 +0100.
[04:37] <Captain_Redbeard> uh... then it's very odd if it's not in my repo
[04:38] <cpk1> can aptitude show changes to packages you are thiking about upgrading?
[04:38] <crimsun> cpk1: 'changelog'
[04:38] <Captain_Redbeard> my repos are archive.ubuntu.com should be updated no?
[04:39] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: when did you last update && upgrade?
[04:39] <cpk1> crimsun: well that is overly simple =P too bad i cant fetch the url =(
[04:39] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: 2 hours ago :p
[04:39] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: which backend are you using?
[04:40] <Captain_Redbeard> apt-get usually
[04:40] <crimsun> no, amarokcollection backend
[04:40] <crimsun> sqlite? mysql? postgresql?
[04:40] <Captain_Redbeard> ah
[04:40] <Captain_Redbeard> mysql
[04:40] <Captain_Redbeard> tried sqlite too with no luck
[04:41] <revdjenk> CaseyOmah: are you still here?
[04:41] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: I just created a new one just fine using mysql
[04:41] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: uploaded to?
[04:42] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: err, come again?
[04:42] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: I just created a new amarokcollection using the mysql backend
[04:42] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: sounded like you compiled a new amarok package that is working fine with mysql... was I wrong?
[04:42] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: ah! :)
[04:43] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: well mine is still refusing to build anything :/
[04:43] <crimsun> fresh feisty or dist-upgraded?
[04:44] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: fresh
[04:44] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: amd64 btw...
[04:44] <crimsun> what was your starting point? Mine was Herd-3.
[04:44] <Captain_Redbeard> so was mine
[04:45] <Captain_Redbeard> blew it fresh just a couple of days ago...
[04:45] <crimsun> well, I'd try to debug further, but I need to get back to work
[04:45] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: thank you for your attention anyway mate
[04:45] <revdjenk> CaseyOmah:   You need to use 'dpkg-reconfigure' command which reconfigures packages
[04:46] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: try starting with amarok afresh
[04:46] <crimsun> meaning:
[04:46] <revdjenk> just like when first installatiion
[04:47] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: already done it a zillion times i'm afraid :(
[04:47] <crimsun> mv ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok.bak && mv ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc.bak
[04:47] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: yup done it :/
[04:48] <crimsun> Captain_Redbeard: have you enabled logging in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, restarted mysql, done the above, and tried?
[04:48] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: not logging no, I kinda figured it's something messed up with amarok since it doesn't work with sqlite either... but I can give it a go
[04:48] <crimsun> I can now vouch that all three backends work from a fresh 1.4.5 install
[04:48] <crimsun> [2:1.4.5-0ubuntu2, that is]
[04:49] <crimsun> none of my collection is on an smb share, however
[04:49] <Captain_Redbeard> uhm uhm
[04:49] <Captain_Redbeard> 1.4.5-0ubuntu1
[04:49] <crimsun> uh yeah.
[04:49] <crimsun> see what sarah and I said above kthx.
[04:50] <crimsun> it's bug 83454 if you're wondering
[04:50] <blortch> hm.  weird.
[04:50] <blortch> can't say i like konversation.  back to xchat.
[04:50] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: ah :) But then it's weird that I can't upgrade the package and it's not reported outdated
[04:51] <crimsun> it's definitely available. Anyhow, I've to return to work.
[04:51] <Captain_Redbeard> crimsun: yea I wont keep you any longer, thank you for your help man
[04:51] <zblach> hibernation gives me a -16 error. it fails to shutdown some usb device. what can I do to remedy this?
[04:59] <MagicFab> join #kubuntu
[04:59] <MagicFab> oups :)
[04:59] <MagicFab> what would be the package for the Printer system settings in KDE ?
[05:00] <draik> Ok
[05:00] <draik> So I have realized 1 of 2 thingws
[05:00] <draik> err
[05:00] <draik> things
[05:01] <draik> Either I'm going to be very busy for a while or just going out of my mind
[05:01] <MagicFab> actually... "printers" in  'system settings'
[05:01] <deathnote> hi what's the best ssh tool for windows ?
[05:01] <draik> deathnote: I'm using ummm... lemme check
[05:02] <draik> deathnote: rdesktop
[05:02] <draik> !rdesktop | deathnote
[05:02] <ubotu> deathnote: rdesktop: RDP client for Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.1-1.1 (edgy), package size 98 kB, installed size 388 kB
[05:02] <ScottK> deathnote: I always liked using ssh itself with cygwin.
[05:02] <draik> deathnote: We also use rDesktop at work whenever we need to remote into the linux box from win
[05:03] <draik> So yea... where was I?...
[05:03] <deathnote> draik: oh..ok thanks i'll try
[05:03] <draik> Oh yea
[05:03] <draik> np deathnote
[05:03] <draik> I need some major input on this
[05:03] <draik> I am planning on creating a big computer central
[05:04] <deathnote> is it free? rdp
[05:04] <draik> I want to have 8 computers hooked up to one keyboard/mouse/monitor
[05:04] <draik> deathnote: Yes
[05:04] <deathnote> i try to search rdp .. but not sure which one u talking.. u know which link to d/l ?
[05:04] <deathnote> remote desktop connection or
[05:04] <draik> I was planning on 9 desktops, but I could only find a KVM by multiples of 2 so there you have it
[05:05] <draik> deathnote: sudo apt-get install rdesktop
[05:05] <deathnote> draik: i need it for windows
[05:05] <deathnote> as in.. windows ssh client
[05:05] <cpk1> draik: you should be able to get bigger KVM's but they start getting expensive
[05:05] <draik> deathnote: ZIP! Sorry, can't help you there
[05:06] <deathnote> ah?
[05:06] <draik> cpk1: I originally wanted to set it up so that I could have a 3x3 monitor type thing
[05:06] <deathnote> what's rDesktop? is it a client for windows to log into linux?
[05:06] <draik> Each one has their own monitor and such
[05:06] <deathnote> what's rDesktop? is it a client for windows to log into linux via ssh ?
[05:07] <bonbonthejon> deathnote: you use putty in windows for ssh
[05:07] <cpk1> draik: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817404007
[05:07] <draik> Then I came to the conclusion that I want them to have their own monitor, but also wanted 1 of my own monitors so that I can just move from one to the other
[05:07] <cpk1> draik: wait, you want to use more than one monitor?
[05:07] <draik> Thank you cpk1
[05:07] <draik> Yuppers
[05:07] <deathnote> ojh putty ok
[05:07] <deathnote> how u use putty ? just putty hostname?
[05:08] <bonbonthejon> deathnote: did you download putty
[05:08] <cpk1> draik: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817107254 thats a little more of what you want
[05:08] <cpk1> but note the price =O
[05:08] <draik> thank you
[05:08] <draik> let me see
[05:10] <draik> Hmmm
[05:10] <draik> I dunnot
[05:10] <draik> *dunno
[05:11] <draik> Because my idea has gone from 9 computers to 8 computers, 1 Keyboard, 1 mouse, 9 monitors (8x 15in flat screens, 1x 21in flat screen)
[05:12] <pulaski> hello
[05:12] <bonbonthejon> hi
[05:12] <pulaski> I'm having trouble connecting to a repository using apt-get
[05:12] <draik> cpk1: But with the last link you sent me, I might be able to stick with 9 computers
[05:12] <bonbonthejon> pulaski: post the erro
[05:12] <draik> and have 1 monitor as my main
[05:12] <bonbonthejon> r
[05:13] <pulaski> thanks
[05:13] <cpk1> draik: if you can afford almost $300 US for something like that then more power to you =D
[05:13] <draik> I can
[05:13] <pulaski> http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/edgy/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2  Could not connect to packages.freecontrib.org:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>), connection timed out
[05:13] <draik> cpk1: I know my fiance will just look at me and be like, WTF?!?!?!
[05:14] <pulaski> I don't think its serious just the server is down? perhaps I should try later...
[05:14] <cpk1> draik: I know the feeling XD
[05:14] <cpk1> and the reaction from the SO
[05:14] <draik> Yup
[05:14] <bonbonthejon> pulaski: yeah
[05:15] <pulaski> thanks bobothejon
[05:15] <draik> In all reality she'll probably just call me a kid and let me do my thing
[05:15] <draik> pulaski: BoBo is a clown. He's BonBon
[05:15] <cpk1> i try not to say *exactly* how much I spent
[05:16] <pulaski> good enough for me.  Thanks bonbonthejon
[05:16] <Nuked> how do I set conky so that it doesnt overlap my icons?
[05:16] <draik> cpk1: In case I missed it, Thank you for your quick research
[05:16] <pulaski> sorry
[05:16] <bonbonthejon> pulaski: :)
[05:16] <cpk1> draik: no problem, i was thinking about using kvms a while back but they get expensive real quick
[05:16] <pulaski> cya
[05:17] <Nuked> so how do I do that? any ideas?
[05:18] <frood> How can I get the bouncing cow screen saver back. It isn't on 6.10
[05:18] <draik> frood: Let me know when you find it. That sounds interesting
[05:19] <draik> cpk1: I think the hardest of it all will be the fact that one of them will be my webserver
[05:20] <frood> They removed it because people found it 'offensive'
[05:20] <revdjenk> that is 'udderly' ridiculous
[05:21] <draik> LOL @ revdjenk
[05:21] <draik> How is a bouncing cow "offensive"?
[05:22] <revdjenk> reminded ppl of New Orlean Mardi Gras?
[05:22] <bonbonthejon> that was a good screen saver
[05:23] <Kamui> is there a command line utility that I can use to batch convert a ton of video files into dvd suitable video?
[05:23] <Kamui> or a command line utility that I can use to convert a single file? (then I can write a shell script to handle batch jobs)
[05:24] <theshadow> I'm having an issue I'm not sure my Radeon x800 mobility is being used correctly (at least the hardware acceleration doesn't seem to be there) when I run fglrxinfo I get the following response
[05:24] <draik> cpk1: http://www.pcsforeveryone.com/product_info.php?products_id=373297
[05:24] <theshadow> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". display: :0.0  screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)
[05:24] <theshadow> can anyone give me a hand?
[05:24] <Kamui> theshadow: turn composite off for starters
[05:24] <bonbonthejon> Kamui: hold on, I know I had seen a program for that
[05:25] <Kamui> that got my radeon working using fglrx with accelleration
[05:25] <draik> well, I think I might know why it's not on the new version 6.10
[05:25] <adwelin> i need a tutorial on kde
[05:25] <draik> The cow's flashed a flaccid penis
[05:25] <theshadow> Kamui: how do I turn it off?
[05:25] <Kamui> theshadow: add this tot he end of your xorg.conf
[05:25] <Kamui> Section "Extensions"
[05:25] <Kamui>         Option      "Composite" "Disable"
[05:25] <Kamui> EndSection
[05:25] <Kamui> then restart your xserver
[05:26] <theshadow> ok
[05:26] <bonbonthejon> Kamui: look into mencode
[05:26] <Kamui> bonbonthejon: sweet!
[05:26] <bonbonthejon> Kamui: mencoder*
[05:26] <Kamui> I've been trying to use devede with very little success
[05:26] <bonbonthejon> draik: I dont remember that part of the cow screen saver
[05:27] <draik> Let me get you the link bonbonthejon
[05:27] <Nuked> ok lets try something different... how do I make conky show hddtemp if my hd is /dev/sda3?
[05:27] <draik> "In particular, people pointed out a "flaccid penis" label/option in the glsnake screensaver, the bouncing cow screensaver, and some chemistry models of drug ..."
[05:28] <draik> bonbonthejon: http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~mako/cc-meeting-special-20041018-summary.html
[05:28] <Nuked> NO one knows?
[05:28] <bonbonthejon> draik:  I remember the drug model
[05:30] <Nuked> my god, getting help is like pulling teeth sometimes
[05:31] <valuedcustomer> hello.  how do i disable guidance-powermanager from running at startup?
[05:31] <cpk1> draik: that only has one monitor output though
[05:31] <revdjenk> hah, draik
[05:31] <bonbonthejon> Nuked: I've never heard of conky, I just looked it up
[05:31] <cpk1> but it is alot cheaper =)
[05:31] <Nuked> bonbonthejon, at least you looked :)
[05:32] <bonbonthejon> Nuked: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html looks like it shows the configuration file
[05:32] <draik> revdjenk: ???
[05:32] <revdjenk> flaccid penis would make a good name for a band
[05:32] <bonbonthejon> Nuked: conky looks like its for gnome, why not use something for KDE
[05:32] <draik> LOL
[05:32] <Nuked> its independent of both
[05:32] <Nuked> LMAO @ revdjenk
[05:33] <revdjenk> hey draik, Nuked you on lappy?
[05:33] <revdjenk> I need help with my rt2500
[05:33] <draik> well, there is a song called "Detachable Penis" by King Missile
[05:33] <draik> revdjenk: I'm on both. Desktop for everything but chats
[05:33] <Nuked> revdjenk, no
[05:33] <draik> revdjenk: why?
[05:33] <cpk1> Nuked: you could look into superkaramba apps for system monitors
[05:34] <Nuked> bonbonthejon, that config was useless but thank you for the effort
[05:34] <revdjenk> well, when I try to enable, the computer almost slows to a stop
[05:34] <cpk1> Nuked: also gkrellm is nice and lightweight
[05:34] <draik> enable what?
[05:34] <revdjenk> seems to work in 2-4 second spurts
[05:34] <Kamui> bonbonthejon: question, can I make svcd movie files, but put them on a dvd to store MORE videos?
[05:34] <Nuked> cpk1, I put work into translating the conky config and customized it quite nicely
[05:34] <theshadow> Alright... I can't tell a difference how can I check if the hardware acceleration is working?
[05:34] <revdjenk> enable wifi
[05:34] <Kamui> bonbonthejon: or do I just have to encode at a lower video bitrate
[05:35] <Nuked> !glxinfo
[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glxinfo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <Nuked> !glx
[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <Nuked> that sucks
[05:35] <draik> Sorry, revdjenk, I don't use wifi
[05:35] <revdjenk> yep
[05:35] <cpk1> Nuked: well you can put work into the superkaramba widgets to customize them =p hehe, but i know nothing about conky
[05:35] <revdjenk> ah
[05:35] <bonbonthejon> Kamui: I never made a DVD, I just knew it was used to convert movies
[05:36] <revdjenk> I have to re-boot to get back to normal
[05:36] <Nuked> cpk1, thanks
[05:36] <Nuked> here is what im talking about
[05:36] <Nuked> dev, (host,(port))
[05:36] <theshadow> yea I don't think its working I ran glxgears and its moving slower than dirt
[05:36] <Nuked> so hddtemp dev, (host,(port))
[05:36] <theshadow> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:36] <theshadow> and I'm getting that error
[05:36] <Nuked> do I leave dev as is, remove it, or add the location of the drive I want to monitor
[05:37] <Kamui> bonbonthejon: ok, well thanks, Im trying a batch command now, looks like this is gonna be an overnight job... ;)
[05:37] <Nuked> this sucks
[05:42] <theshadow> !fglrx

[06:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:26] <theshadow> Ok I don't get this. when I run "fglrxinfo" it shows libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering display: :0.0  screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

[06:27] <theshadow> what am I doing?
[06:27] <theshadow> wrong?
[06:31] <AxlRose> is there a way to adjust the volume in Adobe Flash player
[06:32] <theshadow> AxlRose: No... its really annoying
[06:32] <AxlRose> theshadow:  definately.  I was trying to watch a couple of different things...and I had my speakers all the way up and i could barely hear  it
[06:33] <theshadow> AxlRose: whats worse is that I think when they convert it to flash video format that it sometimes screws up the audio levels causing those kinds of things
[06:54] <deathnote> hi, can anyone tell me how i check who is log into my system from ssh???
[06:54] <deathnote> is there a log or something
[06:56] <deathnote> anyone there?
[06:57] <underdog5004> deathnote, lemme google around...
[06:58] <underdog5004> deathnote, http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/log_message_reference.html
[06:58] <AxlRose> anyone here know much about the fortune program
[06:58] <underdog5004> !fortune
[06:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fortune - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:58] <underdog5004> AxlRose, what is it used for?
[06:59] <AxlRose> underdog5004: it displays little fortune cookie sayings haha
[06:59] <underdog5004> rofl, what's the problem you're having?
[07:00] <AxlRose> no problem...i just wondering how to get it to show up on login with Konsole
[07:00] <AxlRose> i know it's possible because on slackware it does
[07:00] <underdog5004> I believe you can get it to start by putting a symlink  in /home/username/.kde/startup
[07:01] <underdog5004> not sure about the path, though....
[07:01] <underdog5004> oh, looks like it's only for CLI...
[07:01] <deathnote> thanks underdog reading now
[07:02] <underdog5004> deathnote, np
[07:02] <AxlRose> ya...I wanted it for Konsole
[07:02] <dawn> is there a good flv player?
[07:02] <AxlRose> like when you open konsole
[07:02] <AxlRose> no biggy though
[07:02] <AxlRose> dawn: I use mplayer
[07:02] <underdog5004> AxlRose, hmm, each time you open one up?
[07:02] <dawn> k
[07:02] <alvincev> Do I have to go to the command line interface to change the screen resolution in Kubuntu?
[07:02] <underdog5004> alvincev, nope, just use the gui
[07:02] <deathnote> underdog5004: i don't understand..are there any logs?
[07:02] <AxlRose> underdog5004: yes
[07:03] <AxlRose> alincev: go to system settings
[07:03] <underdog5004> deathnote, lol, lemme read those pages...
[07:03] <alvincev> I couldn't find the section for screen resolution in System Settings
[07:03] <alvincev> Never mind
[07:03] <alvincev> I found it
[07:04] <firecrotch> deathnote: /var/log/auth.log
[07:04] <dawn> hmmmm mplayer not working for me
[07:04] <dawn> :()(
[07:04] <underdog5004> deathnote, ok, are you looking to find what commands they are running or just login attempts
[07:04] <dawn> :(\
[07:04] <deathnote> is it /var/log/lastlog ?
[07:04] <AxlRose> dawn: it doesn't work for anything or just flv
[07:04] <deathnote> underdog5004: hopefully both.. like..erm..when and what time they logged in
[07:04] <deathnote> and perhaps the ip addresses
[07:05] <unix_infidel> it should be in logs.
[07:05] <firecrotch> deathnote: auth.log will show the IP and time
[07:05] <dawn> I downloaded some flv clips
[07:05] <AxlRose> dawn: yes...but does mplayer play other videos
[07:05] <deathnote> ooo ok but seems like no ip addresses
[07:06] <unix_infidel> deathnote: who would tell you who is logged in.
[07:06] <unix_infidel> it will present you with their reverse DNS.
[07:06] <dawn> yes
[07:06] <underdog5004> deathnote, I don't know, but if you're looking for the commands executed, then check out the .bash_history in the home folder
[07:06] <dawn> kaffeine works :)
[07:06] <unix_infidel> erm, `who`
[07:06] <deathnote> ohhh
[07:06] <unix_infidel> ^notice the backtick
[07:07] <deathnote> ok who is good
[07:07] <unix_infidel> you can parse their Rev DNS by grep.
[07:07] <unix_infidel> and then you can find out who is logged in from a remote domain.
[07:07] <unix_infidel> just pipe it :)
[07:07] <deathnote> great.. .bash_history does it..thanks
[07:07] <underdog5004> yay, I helped!
[07:08] <unix_infidel> deathnote: i think `w` is what you're more looking for.
[07:08] <dawn> dawn no sound
[07:08] <dawn> Darn
[07:08] <unix_infidel> its a much more detailed account of your user activity.
[07:08] <unix_infidel> you who as a simple display to tell which users are remote and which are local,
[07:09] <AxlRose> dawn: i still say use mplayer
[07:10] <deathnote> what's the ftp port?
[07:10] <unix_infidel> 21
[07:10] <deathnote> by default is the ftp server on?
[07:11] <Wii> DANIR ?
[07:11] <deathnote> my ssh is up for pple to ssh in from port 22
[07:11] <deathnote> not sure if ftp
[07:11] <unix_infidel> i just told you above.
[07:11] <underdog5004> I think the ssh server is on by default...
[07:11] <underdog5004> deathnote, what's your ip?
[07:12] <alvincev> I'm trying to change the screen resolution on my desktop, and I am at the "Monitor & Display - System Setting", when I hit the 'Adminitrator Mode...' button, a red box shows up, but it doesn't ask me for my password.  Has anybody ever run into this?
[07:12] <unix_infidel> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:12] <unix_infidel> underdog5004: ^^^
[07:12] <underdog5004> mind if I come in?
[07:12] <unix_infidel> that's his IP
[07:13] <deathnote> underdog5004: wait.. hehe i've port forward
[07:13] <deathnote> ok
[07:13] <deathnote> should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:13] <deathnote> u try ssh
[07:13] <deathnote> i see if i can see the auth.log
[07:13] <unix_infidel> WHOA!
[07:13] <_jrivera> alvincev, a popup will show and it will ask for your root password before you could get in administrator mode...
[07:13] <unix_infidel> do not let anonymous users ssh into your system!
[07:13] <underdog5004> lol, connection closed by remote host...
[07:13] <alvincev> actually, it just sits there and no popup shows up, but it shows up when I hit the button on the other settings

[07:27] <inteliwasp> !gui
[07:27] <ubotu> The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively)

[07:28] <dettoaltrimenti_> is there a free unraring program for kubuntu?
[07:28] <OlgaB> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4822/plain/
[07:29] <Jucato> inteliwasp: for what?
[07:29] <dettoaltrimenti_> unrar is not free
[07:29] <Jucato> dettoaltrimenti_: by non-free, it means that unrar isn't released under an open source license.
[07:29] <dettoaltrimenti_> oh, ok
[07:30] <inteliwasp> Jucato: some insanely dependant program... it says it needs> = Qt 3.2
[07:30] <Jucato> dettoaltrimenti_: everything in the repositories in monetarily free
[07:30] <dettoaltrimenti_> so free as in beer, but not as in freedom
[07:30] <Jucato> dettoaltrimenti_: yes
[07:30] <dettoaltrimenti_> ;) thanks
[07:30] <Jucato> inteliwasp: you are trying to compile something?
[07:30] <inteliwasp> yep
[07:30] <firecrotch> OlgaB: It looks to me as if it isn't a mass storage device
[07:30] <Jucato> inteliwasp: have you installed the "kde-devel" package?
[07:30] <OlgaB> hmm
[07:31] <Jucato> inteliwasp: but you probably only would need libqt3-mt-dev but I'm not entirely sure
[07:31] <inteliwasp> Jucato: not yet
[07:31] <Jucato> inteliwasp: KDE 3.x apps need Qt 3.x. only very very few would use Qt 4
[07:32] <inteliwasp> Jucato: ok, !!! 84 packages!!!
[07:32] <firecrotch> OlgaB: I tried to find a driver for it on Google, but nothing is turning up
[07:32] <OlgaB> :/
[07:33] <Jucato> inteliwasp: hm... try just libqt3-mt-dev, but I'm not sure if it will also ask for kdebase-dev and kdelibs4-dev
[07:33] <inteliwasp> Jucato: it's ok... i'm gonna need them sooner or later
[07:33] <firecrotch> OlgaB: Unfortunately this is one area that Linux is lacking in, simply because manufacturers don't care
[07:34] <Jucato> inteliwasp: if in case you encounter compiling something that complains about X, you need "xorg-dev"
[07:34] <inteliwasp> been there-done that

[07:37] <fignew> yea :(
[07:37] <elyon225> Hey everyone.  Just curious if someone could tell me how to install the Quicktime plugin for firefox.
[07:37] <Jucato> elyon225: try one of the mozilla plugins, like mozilla-mplayer
[07:37] <Gretl> perhaps firefox can self install its plugins
[07:38] <Jucato> extensions,yes. plugins, not so sure
[07:38] <elyon225> Gretl: The linux version of Firefox sucks at automatically installing plugins.
[07:39] <elyon225> Jucato: Will give that a shot... thanks.
[07:39] <Jucato> because plugins are programs, and you're basically installing programs... which Firefox itself might not know how...
[07:39] <justMatt> Hey - all my fonts in Konqueror and Firefox are too big, and it is messing with web sites, any issues?
[07:40] <Jucato> justMatt: Firefox has its own font settings. For Konqueror, try Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Fonts
[07:40] <elyon225> Jucato: Hey, you've always been a big help to me.  I have another question.  KWallet has been uninstalled, but I still have applications griping about trying to access it.  Any idea how to prevent that?
[07:40] <inteliwasp> Jucato: um, i compiled the program, where do i find it?
[07:41] <Jucato> inteliwasp: unless you used --prefix=/somewhere/else, it would be in /usr/bin (at least the executable)
[07:41] <inteliwasp> Jucato: hrmm... not there
[07:42] <Jucato> elyon225: kwallet is inclluded in kdelibs. you can't uninstall it, you only uninstalled the manager. anyway, press Alt+F2, kcontrol, Security & Privacy -> KDE Wallet -> uncheck the Enable wallet subsystem
[07:42] <Jucato> inteliwasp: hm... not really sure.. what was the full ./configure command you used?
[07:42] <Jucato> inteliwasp: btw, what did you compile?
[07:43] <inteliwasp> kpodder, and i only used ./configure
[07:43] <OlgaB> brb
[07:43] <Jucato> hm...
[07:43] <inteliwasp> so i need sudo?
[07:44] <Jucato> no...
[07:44] <Wii> ?
[07:44] <inteliwasp> are you familliar with bashpodder?
[07:44] <Jucato> is it an app that you run by itself?
[07:45] <inteliwasp> Jucato: 1 sec...
[07:45] <Jucato> inteliwasp: try this command in Konsole: which kpodder
[07:45] <inteliwasp> Jucato: http://www.leonscape.co.uk/linux/kpodder/
[07:45] <Jucato> yeah I'm there
[07:45] <inteliwasp> nada...
[07:46] <elyon225> Jucato: Hmm...I've looked in KControl and I don't see anything that indicates KWallet.
[07:46] <Jucato> elyon225: KControl -> Security & Privacy -> KDE Wallet ?
[07:46] <inteliwasp> oh wait
[07:46] <inteliwasp> i found it
[07:46] <inteliwasp> i think...
[07:46] <elyon225> Jucato: yeah, the furthest I get is KControl -> Security & Privacy ... there is no entry there fro KDE Wallet.
[07:47] <Jucato> hm...
[07:47] <inteliwasp> nope
[07:47] <elyon225> Only Crypto, Password & User Account, and Privacy.
[07:47] <elyon225> Jucato: And I've looked under each of those... no reference to the wallet.
[07:48] <Jucato> hm....
[07:48] <vinboy_> i download the Feisty CD, how do I upgrade my currently ubuntu to feisty?
[07:48] <Jucato> elyon225: so it's still asking you about kwallet, or just asking you for you password?
[07:49] <firecrotch> vinboy_: First, are you sure you want to? Feisty is still REALLY unstable
[07:49] <Jucato> vinboy_: 1) which installer did you download (Desktop or Alternate) and 2) it's not recommended to upgrade now to Feisty unless you're going to do develoment-related work
[07:49] <inteliwasp> Jucato: i found it...
[07:49] <elyon225> Jucato: For example, when I run Kopete, it will come up and ask for my Kwallet password...
[07:49] <Jucato> like bug hunting, fixing, testing (not for curiosity testing)
[07:49] <Jucato> elyon225: is it asking for your kwallet password or your IM account password?
[07:50] <inteliwasp> Jucato: but there are 2 "kpodder" and "kpodder.sh"
[07:50] <vinboy_> Jucato: i downloaded Desktop
[07:50] <Jucato> vinboy_: you can't use that to upgrade to Feisty
[07:50] <stdin> vinboy_: you can't upgrade from the desktop install cd
[07:50] <Jucato> vinboy_: you can only do a fresh install using that
[07:50] <elyon225> Jucato: It says that Kopete is trying to access the KDE wallet... please enter your wallet password.
[07:51] <Jucato> elyon225: oh.. hm... have you tried running "kwalletmanager"?
[07:51] <Jucato> elyon225: this is getting weird...
[07:51] <elyon225> Jucato: Just did... no such command.
[07:51] <Jucato> inteliwasp: I'm not sure which of the two... are they both in /usr/bin?
[07:51] <underdog5004> I personally hate the Kwallet
[07:51] <vinboy_> oh ic
[07:51] <Jucato> elyon225: sorry, I'm out of ideas
[07:51] <vinboy_> thanks guys
[07:52] <elyon225> Jucato: Just tried running Kopete again, and yep...it says it's trying to access kdewallet.
[07:52] <inteliwasp> Jucato: they are in /usr/local/kde/bin
[07:52] <Jucato> vinboy_: it's also not recommended to use feisty right now... better wait at least until beta
[07:52] <underdog5004> use Edgy
[07:52] <elyon225> Which is so strange, since I never saved passwords to the wallet and have since removed the "kdewallet" package.
[07:52] <Jucato> inteliwasp: ah... try running the "kpodder" one (if it's executable)
[07:52] <elyon225> ...yet another Kubuntu oddity that makes no sense :)
[07:52] <inteliwasp> Jucato: they are both exacutable...
[07:53] <Jucato> inteliwasp: most probably the "kpodder" one
[07:53] <Jucato> ok /me gotta go
[07:53] <vinboy_> Jucato
[07:53] <inteliwasp> bye
[07:53] <vinboy_> Jucato: when is beta coming?
[07:53] <stdin> !feisty

[07:59] <Gretl> Admiral_Chicago: k-menu System printer
[08:00] <_jrivera> kudos to all kubuntu users
[08:00] <Admiral_Chicago> Gretl: trying now
[08:01] <Ayabara> I need help making bluetooth work on my ibm lenovo r60. I the howto, but I can't find any bt devices with hcitool dev. I activated bt with hotkeys after boot. could that be a problem?
[08:01] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm, on Edgy?
[08:01] <_jrivera> i am using kubuntu on my home pc.. its great! i didnt have to install any drivers anymore not like in windows...
[08:01] <Admiral_Chicago> _jrivera: yup, I love that
[08:02] <_jrivera> its a lot easier and the desktop looks great too..
[08:02] <Ayabara> Admiral_Chicago, I'm on edgy, if the Q was for me :-)
[08:02] <Admiral_Chicago> Ayabara: no that was my question about printing
[08:03] <borsten> hi
[08:03] <Gretl> Admiral_Chicago: you see all the system settings?
[08:03] <borsten> ive a problem with adept
[08:04] <Admiral_Chicago> Gretl: yes
[08:04] <elyon225> OKay, so here's another silly question:  How would I go about capturing video of my desktop? (Specifically, I'd like to capture Beryl in action for a friend of mine).  What program is used for that?
[08:04] <Gretl> so lets hope it has a printer driver for you that works

[08:05] <_jrivera> what would be a good firewall software for kubuntu?
[08:06] <theshadow> !beryl
[08:06] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects

[08:06] <elyon225> underdog5004: Hmm...that's a gnome app.  I'd prefer not to install so many gnome packages... any alternatives?
[08:06] <dettoaltrimenti_> who decides what programs to put in the repositories I see in adept?
[08:06] <underdog5004> no idea...do a apt-cache search
[08:06] <stdin> borsten: close adept, open konsole and type "sudo apt-get isntall wine" if there are errors post them to pastebin

[08:08] <Admiral_Chicago> eh whatever, i have my own work to do
[08:08] <Jucato> depends. the core devs decides what goes into main and restricted, while MOTU decides what goes into universe and multiverse
[08:09] <elyon225> Admiral_Chicago: What I'm working on currently is an advanced, yet user-friendly frontend to DosBox...  the frontends I've found so far are pretty pathetic.
[08:10] <_jrivera> is apache, mysql and php pre-installed in kubuntu?? can i install it using apt-get? or do i have to download a package??

[08:13] <rovern> stdin: my hdd is full and i want to selectively clean some of the debs
[08:13] <Jucato> rovern: sudo apt-get clean <--- will clean the apt cache archives
[08:14] <Wii> DANIR ???
[08:14] <Jucato> there's no need for those debs once installed..
[08:14] <Wii> has anyone seen DANIR ?
[08:14] <devilsadvocate> lol elyon225
[08:14] <devilsadvocate> how is the server cd installation process different in edgy+ ?
[08:14] <rovern> stdin, Jucato: yes, but i want to clean them *selectively*: only those packages that are not installed anymore (which means i am not interested in them)
[08:14] <stdin> rovern: see "man apt-get" for more usage insfo
[08:15] <Jucato> rovern: why? for what do you need the packages for those you installed already?
[08:15] <stdin> rovern: once you install them, why do you need the debs?
[08:15] <rovern> Jucato: to copy them to another machine at a later time

[08:16] <Jucato> unfortunately, I don't think that's a solution to what you want to do. merely copying over .debs to another machine won't work the way apt-get'ing them does
[08:17] <rovern> Jucato: it will! i simply copy them to that folder and apt-get will think it has just downloaded them
[08:17] <rovern> Jucato: i trick it
[08:17] <Jucato> hm... if you say so...
[08:17] <Jucato> anyway, I don't know if there's a way to selectively clean the cache...
[08:17] <stdin> borsten: heh, can you run "LANG=C sudo apt-get install wine" , so I get the messages in english :)
[08:17] <devilsadvocate> rovern, are you on a network, a lan of some sort?
[08:17] <Jucato> try the apt-get man page
[08:17] <rovern> Jucato: i've been doing this for weeks, it's just that now there are too many packages and i need some selection
[08:17] <borsten> oh, sorry
[08:17] <rovern> devilsadvocate: yes
[08:18] <devilsadvocate> rovern, you could take a look at http-replicator and apt-proxy
[08:18] <rovern> devilsadvocate: thanks
[08:18] <rovern> Jucato, stdin: thanks
[08:19] <_jrivera> my kubuntu box is not connected to the net and i intend to download packages through my windows pc at work is it ok?
[08:19] <devilsadvocate> rovern, its not what you came asking for, but im on a university network too and we found it was much easier that way
[08:19] <rovern> aha
[08:19] <devilsadvocate> rovern, initiall used http-replicato, now using deb-mirror to just mirror the whole repository
[08:19] <devilsadvocate> because we had enough users to justify it
[08:20] <stdin> _jrivera: yeah, you can use "apt-get --print-uris install <package>" to get apt-get to print the URLs of the debs and where to save them
[08:20] <rovern> i see
