[12:03] <n3storm> _steven: how comes?
[12:04] <_steven> no clue
[12:04] <_steven> kept crashing the gui, and I'd have to reinstall Ubuntu
[12:05] <_steven> Then the internet sound went out, and when I updated to Kubuntu it was fine for a while. Then, it went out again.
[12:05] <dmbkiwi> _steven: wouldn't it make sense to update to dapper - maybe whatever bug you're experiencing is fixed.
[12:06] <_steven> Maybe...you just change your repos to dapper right?
[12:06] <n3storm> dmbkiwi: is right, though I normally don't recommend dapper for newbies
[12:06] <_steven> Harder to use?
[12:07] <dmbkiwi> _steven: No, probably because it's not final yet, and there maybe bugs, however, given breezy's a no go for you because of bugs, you may as well give dapper a go.
[12:07] <n3storm> harder? no, but maybe still some glithches
[12:08] <_steven> It's weird cause Warty and Hoary were fine. I didn't expect the internet to work with not tweaking on my part. But everything was cool.
[12:09] <n3storm> _steven: are you on a Laptop?
[12:09] <_steven> Oh, another thing. Once I upgraded to Kubuntu 5.10. Was I supposed to change my repos?
[12:09] <motodashi> the only thing I reproach to dapper (not kubuntu) is this awfull orange color
[12:09] <_steven> No
[12:09] <dmbkiwi> _steven: when you upgraded to breezy, did you take your .kde config files with you?
[12:10] <_steven> I upgraded to breezy before upgrading to Kubuntu. So yes.
[12:11] <dmbkiwi> _steven: does X crash in both kde and gnome (and any other DE or WM you might use)?
[12:11] <n3storm> dmbkiwi: I think _steven might be using gdm?
[12:12] <apricot> do i need a firewall?
[12:12] <_steven> When I was upgrading to Kubuntu the Terminal asked me whether I wanted gde or kde as default. I chose kde.
[12:13] <dmbkiwi> apricot: are you running any services?  Are you behind a NAT router?
[12:13] <apricot> a kde prog for watching dvds
[12:13] <apricot> ?
[12:13] <apricot> no
[12:13] <motodashi> I don't know gde, what is it ?
[12:13] <dmbkiwi> _steven: I'd suggest trying dapper, it's only a 20 minute install
[12:13] <_steven> gnome desktop enviroment
[12:14] <dmbkiwi> apricot: dvd's - try kaffeine or codeine
[12:14] <_steven> I'll give it a go.
[12:14] <dmbkiwi> apricot: no to which? or both?
[12:14] <_steven> But how do you install ktorrent. I got all these subdirectories and no executives.
[12:15] <motodashi> sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[12:15] <apricot> no to services
[12:15] <dmbkiwi> _steven: on dapper:  apt-get install ktorrent
[12:15] <n3storm> _steven: good luck
[12:16] <dmbkiwi> apricot: If you've got no ports open, then you don't need a firewall.  I firewall manages and filters how traffic passes or doesn't pass through open ports.  If you've got no open ports, then no need for a firewall.  What does:
[12:16] <dmbkiwi> sudo netstat -taupe
[12:16] <dmbkiwi> tell you?
[12:17] <dmbkiwi> Any lines that have "LISTENING" on them?
[12:17] <eneried_> hello people!
[12:17] <apricot> ok
[12:18] <eneried_> there's no body here
[12:18] <imbrandon> lots of poeple here

[12:18] <n3storm> hi eneried_
[12:18] <eneried_> um, does anybodyknow a good disk kataloguer for linux? something like or better than whereisit?
[12:18] <eneried_> hi n3storm
[12:19] <dmbkiwi> apricot: that means you've got ports open.  What apps/ports are they linked to?
[12:19] <apricot> skype, localhost:hpiod, mysql, phyton
[12:19] <n3storm> eneried_: http://www.kde-apps.org
[12:20] <n3storm> try there
[12:20] <n3storm> I just used in the past Katalog, but not too much
[12:20] <_steven> E: Malformed line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[12:20] <_steven> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[12:20] <eneried_> thanks ;)
[12:20] <_steven> Ok...I changed my repos to dapper. But now it's screwed. I get the above error
[12:21] <robotgeek> _steven: you messed up while entering it
[12:21] <_steven> I didn't enter it. I used Adept to change them to dapper.
[12:21] <robotgeek> _steven: hmm, okay.

[12:39] <_steven> There is no about kde
[12:39] <apricot> ok, why i dont have icons?
[12:39] <_steven> and where do I put kde-config?
[12:39] <robotgeek> _steven: enter that in a terminal
[12:40] <apricot> i do not like adept for example
[12:40] <apricot> where is qparted anyway
[12:40] <robotgeek> apricot: install it using adept :)
[12:40] <_steven> lol
[12:41] <motodashi> adept under dapper is very good
[12:41] <_steven> dapper is a huge ass install. I'm only at 18%
[12:41] <apricot> cannot find qparted in adept
[12:41] <motodashi> try qtparted
[12:41] <eneried_> motodashi, i like genome cause is more friendly than KDe, and i like KADe because is more technical and efficient, they work good :)

[12:48] <Ahmuck> the bug with the desktop installer from the LTS that screws up partitions, that happened to me :-(
[12:49] <robotgeek> Ahmuck: ah, crap.
[12:49] <Ahmuck> as well as the bug with the text install where apt won't start
[12:49] <Ahmuck> robotgeek: yea, well it was an old laptop that needed to be reformated anyhow ... so no data loss
[12:49] <robotgeek> Ahmuck: ah okay
[12:51] <FearMoth> I'm running kubuntu dapper, and when I try to run adept I'm prompted for the root password. I enter it correctly, but kdesu says that it's incorrect. this happened to me in 5.10 too .. anyone know how to fix it?
[12:52] <robotgeek> FearMoth: did you enable root account?
[12:52] <motodashi> FearMoth: I suppose your account has not the admin rights
[12:53] <FearMoth> I ran passwd root and set a password for root. still doesn't work
[12:53] <Ahmuck> sudo password root
[12:53] <Ahmuck> from konsole
[12:54] <robotgeek> FearMoth: hmm, don't do that!
[12:54] <Ahmuck> sudo apt-get update
[12:54] <FearMoth> robotgeek: k, how do I undo it? :)
[12:54] <Ahmuck> sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:55] <apricot> i have sound question
[12:55] <robotgeek> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo#head-b06dbcd33c40480dcfd3aada1ca67bbd77f80594 FearMoth
[12:55] <apricot> i hear system sounds in front and amarok in background
[12:55] <apricot> any way to change that?
[12:56] <apricot> help apreciated
[12:56] <FearMoth> robotgeek: I tried entering my user password too, but it still doesn't work
[12:57] <apricot> anyone?
[12:57] <apricot> sleeping time?
[12:58] <Ahmuck> why is root mode not recomended ?
[12:58] <apricot> tomorow is a good day
[12:58] <robotgeek> FearMoth: yeah, i think user passowrd
[12:58] <FearMoth> robotgeek: should my user acct be in /etc/sudoers?
[12:58] <FearMoth> because only root is
[12:58] <robotgeek> FearMoth: not sure, sorry.
[12:58] <HymnToLife> FearMoth> and also the admin group
[12:58] <HymnToLife> thus all users in the admin group will have sudo privileges
[12:59] <apricot> robotgeek; sudo passwd root
[01:00] <HymnToLife> apricot> please don't do it
[01:00] <HymnToLife> what's the problem with sudo ?
[01:00] <apricot> i hear system sounds in front and amarok in background, help?
[01:01] <n3storm> sudo visudo?
[01:01] <_steven> I need to use the su command but apparently the pw is not the same as the sudo command. What gives?
[01:02] <HymnToLife> there is no root password
[01:02] <_steven> I've tried not entering a pw but it's also wrong.
[01:02] <_steven> "su: Authentication failure. Sorry"
[01:03] <robotgeek> _steven: wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[01:04] <_steven> Nevermind...I got it.
[01:05] <ubuntu_rocks> how do I get dvds to play in Kubuntu? I have installed VLC with libdvdcss2 codec etc.. it starts to play then just crashes?
[01:07] <_steven> Ok, I entered su>entered the password. But I still cant move files around the root or create new folders. Why?
[01:08] <stevekl> _steven: are you sure you're root?
[01:08] <yanis> ubuntu_rocks: try xine
[01:08] <stevekl> type whoami
[01:08] <_steven> root@ubuntu:/home/steven # su
[01:08] <_steven> root@ubuntu:/home/steven #
[01:08] <_steven> root@ubuntu:/home/steven # whoami
[01:08] <_steven> root
[01:08] <ubuntu_rocks> yanis: i've tried okle as well and it does the same thing?
[01:08] <stevekl> and what's the error you get while trying to move stuff?
[01:09] <yanis> okle? first time to hear that
[01:09] <_steven> 'You do not have permission...'
[01:09] <nxv_> hi
[01:09] <nxv_> i remember a ncurses ui to choose an apt mirror but i don't know how to start it up. can anybody help me?
[01:09] <_steven> In order to use 'su' do you have to use terminal to create folders or move files?
[01:09] <stevekl> stevekl: that's...weird
[01:09] <ubuntu_rocks> yanis: ya the dvd player app
[01:10] <Ahmuck> HymnToLife: why not sudo passwd root ?
[01:10] <_steven> or can you type 'su' and then use file manager
[01:10] <yanis> ubuntu_rocks: try xine :)
[01:10] <Ahmuck> it would seem that would be the first order of buisness
[01:10] <stevekl> stevekl: try kdesu
[01:10] <ubuntu_rocks> yanis: ugh ok.. i like vlc though lol
[01:10] <stevekl> stevekl: like "kdesu konquerer"
[01:10] <Ahmuck> i don't understand why peeps don't want other peeps to sudo passwd root ?
[01:10] <HymnToLife> ahmuck > because in Ubuntu you use sudo
[01:11] <yanis> you can use sudo bash of course ;)
[01:11] <HymnToLife> yanis> to get a root terminal, sudo -i is more recommended :)
[01:12] <yanis> what's the difference HymnToLife
[01:12] <stevekl> You guys shouldn't use sudo
[01:12] <stevekl> er
[01:12] <stevekl> su
[01:12] <stevekl> instead try sudo -s
[01:12] <HymnToLife> it is said sudo -i is better
[01:12] <stevekl> that will ask you for your password instead of root's password, so you needn't ever create one
[01:12] <krenx> !wine
[01:13] <HymnToLife> I don't remeber why but some knowledgeable folks told me so
[01:13] <_steven> Ok, here's the situation. I need to get a file into /etc/bootsplash in order to edit my splashscreen. But the folder splashscreen doesn't exist and it wont let me create it.
[01:13] <_steven> Plus, I dont know the commands in terminal to create folders.
[01:13] <HymnToLife> _steven> just sudo mkdir /path/to/dir
[01:14] <_steven> I cant seem to navigate to /etc/
[01:14] <Ahmuck> cd /etc
[01:14] <_steven> ok
[01:16] <_steven> Ok, now how do I unzip a file from my desktop to these new folders I created?
[01:16] <heinrich> hello i am using konversation as irc client nad i was told to change the charset to a german one
[01:17] <_steven> Is it gzip?
[01:17] <heinrich> how do i do this?
[01:17] <Ahmuck> _steven: what is the extension ?
[01:18] <_steven> *.tar.gz
[01:18] <Ahmuck> tar -xzvf filename.gz
[01:18] <Ahmuck> filename*.gz
[01:19] <_steven> ok, and I need to put filepath/filename since it isn't in the same folder as I want it to be right?
[01:20] <krenx> hey, how do i change hz for different resolutions ?
[01:23] <kerrigan> Hello! Is there a "Run Command" in Gnome?
[01:23] <_steven> Yes, it's called Terminal
[01:24] <_steven> you type the program name in there, like with Windows>Run
[01:24] <kerrigan> I don't want a terminal. Just Run Command like in Windows and KDE
[01:25] <_metin> hii... i have set root password while expert install.but now i cant sudo
[01:25] <_steven> Ok, how do I copy and paste in terminal? Because it wont let me copy and paste in File Browser.

[01:27] <krenx> how i change hz for different resolutions ?
[01:27] <krenx> not in xorg.conf
[01:27] <Chryseus> statesidela: sudo su

[01:27] <Chryseus> kerrigan: this Kubuntu channel.. how should we know?
[01:28] <Chryseus> statesidela: no.. you type sudo su
[01:28] <statesidela> ahhh tricky stuff thank  you very much i will try it now
[01:28] <robotgeek> kerrigan: alt + f2
[01:29] <robotgeek> statesidela: you can also use sudo -s
[01:29] <_steven> What are the commands for copy & paste in Konsole?
[01:29] <statesidela> it worked thanks again
[01:29] <kerrigan> Chryseus: robotgeek knew:-)
[01:29] <_metin> any idea for my sudo problem? i doesnt accept my password
[01:29] <statesidela> i will keep   that in mind robotgeek   thank you
[01:29] <kerrigan> Thanks, Robotgeek.
[01:29] <robotgeek> kerrigan: it is the same in gnome and kde
[01:29] <smok3_> trying to install 5.10 kubuntu (amd64 version), but as it seems grub fails (without error), i mean: i dont get any system to choose on boot time...
[01:29] <Ahmuck> _metin: sudo somecommand
[01:29] <smok3_> would that be my bad partitioning decisions or something else?
[01:30] <statesidela> metin do what Chryseus or robotgeek told me
[01:30] <kerrigan> Robotgeek: I know now :-) Where doI find this one in the gnome menus?
[01:30] <Chryseus> kerrigan: I knew too.. I just don't want to help people who don't know right channel for help
[01:30] <smok3_> trying to setup dualboot with xp
[01:30] <_metin> i did "sudo apt-get update"
[01:30] <robotgeek> kerrigan: not sure, don't use gnome
[01:30] <_metin> it asked me password but didnt accept mine
[01:30] <ubuntu_rocks> whats the gui command to access root ? ksudo?
[01:31] <kerrigan> I am using Kubuntu with Gnome. This is the channel the IRC-program had as default.
[01:31] <Chryseus> ubuntu_rocks: kdesu
[01:31] <robotgeek> ubuntu_rocks: kdesu command
[01:31] <kerrigan> kdesu in KDE, gksu in Gnome
[01:31] <ubuntu_rocks> thanks Chryseus and robotgeek
[01:31] <statesidela> hmmmm not to experanced here but i would tryed sudo su
[01:31] <robotgeek> kerrigan: gksudo, i think.
[01:31] <statesidela> sudo su sorry
[01:31] <robotgeek> kerrigan: /j #ubuntu
[01:32] <_steven> smoke3_->Just install XP first use Partition Magic to partition a linux ext3 partition and install Linux on your new partition. During Install, Linux will detect Windows and install GRUB bootloader.
[01:32] <kerrigan> I got the heli I needed. Thanks. (But this is Kubuntu with gnome)
[01:32] <statesidela> worked for me thanks to chryseus
[01:32] <smok3_> _steven: i let the kubuntu to partition free space
[01:33] <smok3_> _steven: and yes i did free space using partition magic
[01:33] <_steven> Yeah. You can do that also
[01:33] <Chryseus> kubuntu with gnome.. really? :)
[01:33] <_steven> Then it should install the bootloader and all should be good
[01:33] <smok3_> well it isnt
[01:33] <smok3_> boots stright to xp
[01:33] <smok3_> no questions asked :)
[01:34] <_steven> Install Ubuntu and then install Kubuntu
[01:34] <_steven> Cause I know Ubuntu has a bootloader
[01:34] <smok3_> grub?
[01:34] <_steven> yah
[01:34] <_steven> grub
[01:34] <smok3_> yeah, same here
[01:34] <smok3_> just didnt work out
[01:34] <sharpy> is there a way to install a network applet?
[01:34] <sharpy> or a CPU/Mem applet?
[01:35] <smok3_> i guess i must try some other part of the disk or something?
[01:35] <_steven> Can someone please tell me what the copy and paste commands are for Konsole?
[01:35] <_steven> Did it ask you for anything to do with GRUB or a bootloader when you installed Kubuntu?
[01:36] <sharpy> control c is for copy and SHIFT-INsert is for paste
[01:36] <Chryseus> statesidela:
[01:36] <Chryseus> bah.. I'm slow.. :P
[01:37] <_steven> sharpy->I need to Konsole command though. It wont let me copy and paste into any of the root folders(/etc/*)
[01:37] <_steven> *the
[01:37] <Chryseus> you need to be root for that
[01:37] <sharpy> _steven, sudo
[01:38] <_steven> *sighs* Yes, I know how to get to root. But I cant copy and paste without the command for copy and paste.
[01:38] <Chryseus> _steven: wtf are you trying to do?
[01:38] <sharpy> _steven, cp is for copying... i am not sure what the command for the Konsole is for "pasting"
[01:39] <_steven> Chryseus->I am trying to copy something off my Desktop and into the newly created /etc/bootsplash folder. But I dont know the command.
[01:39] <Chryseus> _steven: with konqueror?
[01:39] <_steven> sharpy->Thanks, now all I need is the paste command.
[01:40] <Ahmuck> cd Desktop
[01:40] <Ahmuck> mv somefolder /etc/bootsplash
[01:41] <_steven> I'll try that Ahmuck
[01:41] <Chryseus> _steven: just do sudo cp /whatever/fromwherever/ /etc/whatever   OR alt-f2-> kdesu konqueror and just move it within the browser
[01:42] <Ahmuck> _steven: http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/y2k/60/primer/primer.html
[01:43] <Chryseus> Ahmuck: word
[01:45] <_steven> I have a feeling that the Adept Manager is screwing over my system again.
[01:46] <tinin> I can't wait to test dapper live, but i've got an old monitor 800x600 these days. Is there a boot option to change refresh rate as in knoppix? thanx in advance, i'm stuck in windows cause my breezy stopped working, so i NEED it
[01:48] <_steven> Once I get all this Ubuntu Breezy>Ubuntu Dapper stuff. I just type apt-get install kubuntu-desktop right?
[01:49] <tinin> or just where can i find boot these otions?
[01:49] <_daniel_> hey anyone has problems setting current time ?
[01:50] <_daniel_> it seems not to work using the kde adjust date and time
[01:50] <_steven> I used to when I first got Warty Ubuntu
[01:50] <_daniel_> Is there any way around ?
[01:50] <_daniel_> breezy is the one I am using
[01:50] <_steven> I just updated, and it was fine
[01:50] <swedish> is there a vnc java server that i can point a browser at
[01:51] <_steven> dont understand the question
[01:51] <swedish> liiiike
[01:51] <swedish> a vnc server
[01:51] <swedish> that i can point a browser at, instead of a vnc client
[01:51] <_steven> Which is what? A server where java applets are?
[01:51] <swedish> a vnc server is a remote desktop
[01:51] <_steven> No clue
[01:52] <_steven> No clue
[01:52] <swedish> ok
[01:52] <cueno> VNC it's like a Java remote desktop as far as I know
[01:52] <_steven> I'm running the Adept manager and it's screwing around with my icons. I'm kinda afraid to restart now.
[01:53] <Ahmuck> swedish: you want a vnc server to use on your kubuntu ?
[01:53] <swedish> yea
[01:53] <swedish> and then on a windows desktop
[01:53] <Ahmuck> tightvncserver
[01:53] <swedish> point a browser at it
[01:54] <swedish> xtightvncbrowser?
[01:54] <cueno> could someone give me a hint for Dapper to watch DVDs?
[01:54] <Ahmuck> install tight vnc client on the windows desktop
[01:54] <Ahmuck> and then vnc to the kubuntu desktop
[01:54] <_steven> Is this something like Gotomypc?
[01:55] <Ahmuck> you can install it using adept or apt-get
[01:55] <swedish> so i grabbed tight
[01:55] <Ahmuck> _steven: http://www.tightvnc.com/
[01:55] <swedish> how do i do settings?
[01:55] <Ahmuck> cd .vnc
[01:56] <Ahmuck> or cd /etc/vnc
[01:56] <Ahmuck> i think
[01:56] <Ahmuck> swedish: in the ~.vnc directory you will need to modify the config file so that it starts kde
[01:57] <Ahmuck> if you want to set resolution or something like that i would set that in the vnc.conf file or you can do it from the command line as well
[01:57] <Ahmuck> i normally start the server from the konsole ... tightvncserver, and then on the windows side i simply start the client and enter the ip address plus the session ie 192.168.1 0:1
[01:59] <_steven> Once my upgrade to Ubuntu Dapper is complete how do I go about updating back to Kubuntu?
[02:01] <_steven> None of my web browsers are working now that I'm a Dapper user. What do I do now?
[02:01] <_steven> They immediatly crash.
[02:02] <robotgeek> _steven: what do you mean, i am on dapper without any problems.
[02:02] <robotgeek> any specific page?
[02:03] <_steven> No...neither Firefox or Konqueror will even startup
[02:03] <_steven> They crash immediately.
[02:03] <Ahmuck> _steven: i would suggest that you find a spare pc, something somebody does not want, etc. and expiement with.  then work on you good system.  one of the nice things you can do in some distros is specify you partitions.  i suggest putting your /home and your /usr/local on seperate partitions.  then if something breaks you don't suffer data loss as bad
[02:03] <mo0se> cuuurses....
[02:03] <robotgeek> _steven: try starting in a terminal, it will show some output
[02:04] <cueno> Ahmuck good advice, I learned that the hardware
[02:04] <n3storm> _steven: have you rebooted you pc?
[02:04] <cueno> hard way even
[02:04] <_steven> n3story->no, I'm afraid my desktop will have disappeared if I did.
[02:05] <_steven> steven@ubuntu:~ $ firefox
[02:05] <_steven> (Gecko:8519): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[02:05] <n3storm> yeah, I know what you mean _steven but maybe is the only way, what do you thing robotgeek ?
[02:05] <_daniel_> Damn I really have the latest versions of the packages
[02:05] <_daniel_> and I really cant change the time
[02:05] <mo0se> is konqueror the 1.0.7 version of firefox?
[02:05] <robotgeek> swedish: please don't paste in here
[02:06] <_steven> No
[02:06] <n3storm> mo0se: no, they are different apps
[02:06] <robotgeek> grr, _steven
[02:06] <mo0se> ah.
[02:06] <mo0se> is there a tutorial for install firefox specifically for kubuntu then?
[02:06] <_steven> I cant pm, so I cant copy paste anywhere else.
[02:06] <robotgeek> mo0se, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[02:06] <robotgeek> _steven: /j #flood
[02:06] <ports-> whats up
[02:07] <mo0se> because there are some steps that confuse me in the ubuntu version...
[02:07] <mo0se> x_x
[02:07] <cueno> the most confusing thing I have with dapper is getting DVDs to be viewed
[02:07] <_steven> Ok, I cant seem to launch Konqueror from Konsole. What's the command?
[02:07] <robotgeek> _steven: konqueror
[02:10] <_steven> Ok it opens(Konqueror) but nothing shows up in the window. Instead I get, "Protocol not supported  http"
[02:12] <_steven> How do I repair my Ubuntu/Kubuntu?/
[02:13] <saaida> can anyone help with xubuntu ?
[02:13] <robotgeek> _steven: i am not sure what you did, what did you do?
[02:14] <robotgeek> saaida: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[02:14] <_steven> I upgraded from Kubuntu(breezy) to Ubuntu(dapper). Now I want to get it all working again so that I have Kubuntu(dapper).
[02:16] <robotgeek> _steven: can you post your sources.list?
[02:16] <saaida> any one can suggest a good and very light mp3 player ? im using xubuntu and the xfplayer can't play my mp3's
[02:16] <_steven> No...it runs a lot of scripts. Opens the file and instantly closes.
[02:17] <_steven> I got the addresses though when I tried to update
[02:18] <_steven> I'll paste it in #flood
[02:21] <_steven> Whenever I try to download new packets it says "E: Unmet dependencies..."
[02:21] <robotgeek> _steven: try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[02:22] <_steven> Running..
[02:23] <sharpy> saaida, xmms
[02:24] <mo0se> sudo tar -C /opt -x -z -v -f firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz
[02:24] <mo0se> what does all that mean?
[02:24] <mo0se> like the -c and the -x and all that...
[02:25] <mo0se> is there a way to find out?
[02:25] <dmbkiwi> mo0se: man tar
[02:25] <saaida> i want only music player (mainly mp3's) cause my machine is slow and want to listen all the time to musik while playing ( like in windows the Old winamp )
[02:25] <_steven> Still Running..
[02:25] <cfog> Anyone successfully installed 6.06B2 amd64?
[02:25] <robotgeek> saaida: beep-media-player is also nice
[02:25] <dmbkiwi> saaida: xmms
[02:26] <dmbkiwi> saaida: do you have an mp3 decoder installed?  like mpg321?
[02:26] <saaida> dmbkiwi: have no idea :)
[02:26] <saaida> i read about libmad0 and installed it
[02:26] <saaida> but didn't work
[02:27] <dmbkiwi> saaida: install mpg321.  It should pull in what you need to play mp3
[02:29] <mo0se> there isn't a way to add firefox to the menu like windows, is there?
[02:29] <saaida> dmbkiwi: didn't work
[02:29] <dmbkiwi> saaida: what didn't work?
[02:29] <_steven> mo0se what are you talking about? firefox is already installed.
[02:29] <mo0se> in kubuntu?
[02:30] <_steven> yeah, if you install kubuntu from ubuntu
[02:30] <mo0se> nope.
[02:30] <saaida> dmbkiwi: installing mpg321
[02:30] <mo0se> i install kubuntu using the dvd.
[02:30] <mo0se> is it better to install ubuntu and then kubuntu?
[02:30] <mo0se> ...
[02:31] <mo0se> maybe i should do that...
[02:31] <mo0se> hehe...
[02:31] <mo0se> okay..
[02:31] <cfog> Hi all.  I am trying to do a fresh install of 6.06 Beta 2 amd64.  The graphical installer crashes immediately upon reaching step 2.
[02:31] <cfog> I looked at syslog and saw that languagechooser is complaining that it cannot find languagemap.
[02:32] <dmbkiwi> saaida: what version of kubuntu?
[02:32] <cfog> 6.06 beta 2 amd64
[02:32] <cfog> whoops.
[02:32] <saaida> dmbkiwi: it is xubuntu not kubuntu
[02:32] <_steven> #flood
[02:33] <Ryoga> hi I've installed kubuntu 6.06 Beta 2 and wanted to install the german language package for KDE, vut it's not in the list of adept. what can I do?
[02:33] <Ryoga> *but
[02:33] <robotgeek> Ryoga: i think it is called lanugage-support/pack
[02:34] <Ryoga> robotgeek: adept shows only installed packages
[02:34] <robotgeek> Ryoga: then change the filters
[02:34] <Ryoga> i installed it once in the live cd version, it was in it list
[02:34] <Ryoga> hmm
[02:34] <dmbkiwi> saaida: have you enabled the universe repository?
[02:35] <Ryoga> robotgeek: everything in the "show" list is checked
[02:35] <saaida> dmbkiwi: yes
[02:35] <Ryoga> I had no internet connection while installing it.
[02:35] <dmbkiwi> saaida: so what's the error when you try to install it?
[02:35] <robotgeek> Ryoga: then, you might want to search on packages.ubuntu.com / apt-cache search
[02:36] <saaida> dmbkiwi: no error , install perfect : but xfmedia does not play
[02:36] <saaida> dmbkiwi: no error , install perfect : but xfmedia does not play the mp3
[02:36] <Ryoga> or another question, where can I find the package source list for apt-get?
[02:37] <dmbkiwi> saaida: have you installed xmms?
[02:38] <robotgeek> Ryoga: meaning?
[02:38] <blueyed> Can someone with Kubuntu-Dapper please try the test link in here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126482 (with Konqueror)
[02:38] <Ubugtu> KDE bug 126482 in khtml "Konqueror does not pass mochikit tests" [Normal,Unconfirmed]
[02:38] <saaida> dmbkiwi: im trying to get xfmedia work with mp3 not installing another media player
[02:39] <dmbkiwi> saaida: sorry, can't help then.
[02:39] <robotgeek> blueyed: passes all
[02:39] <blueyed> strange.
[02:39] <blueyed> not with me.
[02:39] <robotgeek> blueyed: i am on dapper, kubuntu ppc
[02:39] <saaida> dmbkiwi: no preblem thanx for help
[02:40] <blueyed> robotgeek: dapper/x86 on amd64 here.
[02:40] <robotgeek> blueyed: lemme check on live cd
[02:41] <robotgeek> blueyed: passes all on live cd, dapper x86 kubuntu beta2 live cd, on amd64 :)
[02:42] <blueyed> what could that be caused by, robotgeek? it always fails with the same tests (at least).
[02:43] <Ryoga> blueyed: what was that link you posted for?
[02:43] <robotgeek> blueyed: not sure, sorry. maybe your konqueror is borked. try reinstalling?
[02:43] <blueyed> I guess it's a locale thing, perhaps?
[02:43] <blueyed> Ryoga: a bug report with JS tests.
[02:44] <Ryoga> because when I click at it, it says "Bug 126482: Konqueror does not pass mochikit tests"
[02:44] <blueyed> Failed tests are all like: "0.000", expected "0.123" or: not ok - 1.23 JSON got "1", expected "1.23"
[02:44] <blueyed> Ryoga: yes, the link in the report. I've thought it's more secure to post the bugs.kde.org link first.. :)
[02:45] <Ryoga> um ok
[02:45] <blueyed> Ryoga: can you test it?
[02:46] <Ryoga> yes
[02:46] <Ryoga> but how?
[02:46] <blueyed> just click: http://mochikit.com/tests/index.html (with konqueror) and wait..
[02:47] <Ryoga> some green and red backgrounded lines appear
[02:48] <blueyed> red means failed.. so it does not pass all with you, too.
[02:48] <blueyed> What Konqueror are you using, Ryoga?
[02:49] <Ryoga> blueyed: the one that comes with Kubuntu 6.06 Beta 2
[02:49] <Ryoga> Konqueror 3.5.2
[02:49] <blueyed> have you dist-upgraded since then?
[02:49] <Ryoga> me? no
[02:49] <Ryoga> I can't
[02:51] <blueyed> Ryoga: what processor/architecture are you using?
[02:51] <sharpy> how do i install an applet that monitors my network/cpu/mem ? I dont have such applets in kubuntu?
[02:51] <m> robotgeek you still there?
[02:51] <robotgeek> m: yes
[02:51] <blueyed> Ryoga: does the failed tests match the one I'm experiencing (http://trac.mochikit.com/ticket/93)
[02:52] <Ryoga> blueyed: Intel Pentium M something (single core, 2GHz)
[02:53] <XP1> in kubuntu, is samba preinstalled ?
[02:57] <ubuntu_rocks> how do I restart my kde desktop from the konsole?
[02:57] <crweb> XP1: yes?
[02:57] <m> robotgeek->It seems to have worked.
[02:57] <XP1> crweb, really?
[02:58] <crweb> XP1: ?  i got a unknown CTCP-CTCP request
[02:58] <XP1> was fooling around
[02:58] <crweb> XP1: i don't think the samba server is
[02:58] <XP1> ok
[02:58] <crweb> you can just apt-get install samba
[02:58] <Ryoga> pff
[02:58] <crweb> and it'll tell you
[02:59] <Ryoga> the kubuntu installer commented all sources for apt-get out
[02:59] <sharpy> err..i missed something someone said.
[02:59] <XP1> i tried to reinstall kubuntu, but samba keeps staying
[02:59] <sharpy> b4 i crashed.
[02:59] <XP1> maybe it's just upgrading it?
[02:59] <Ryoga> blueyed
[02:59] <sharpy> how do I install a network/memory/cpu applet?
[02:59] <crweb> XP1: keeps staying?
[03:00] <XP1> samba is installed
[03:00] <blueyed> Ryoga: you could just uncomment them.
[03:00] <crweb> XP1: ok, and you don't want it?
[03:00] <XP1> no, i wan't a fresh install
[03:00] <Ryoga> i know
[03:00] <crweb> XP1: so.. fresh install, and make sure the partition is formated?
[03:00] <blueyed> But I don't think it makes a difference. I'd be interested, if the same tests fail with you, Ryoga.
[03:01] <crweb> XP1: if you don't format, it won't remove files
[03:01] <XP1> i tried to format but it is still installed. i'm trying killdisk now
[03:01] <crweb> XP1: it'll just install over them
[03:01] <crweb> XP1: then it must be installed via default
[03:01] <crweb> XP1: things don't reappear after a format
[03:01] <XP1> hmm
[03:02] <shao_lo> can anyone help me with a dchroot problem?
[03:03] <crweb> if we know what the problem was, we'd have a better idea if we can, or can't
[03:03] <crweb> knew
[03:03] <shao_lo> im trying to get a chroot started from the session menu
[03:03] <shao_lo> I followed http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48435
[03:03] <shao_lo> but it is using schroot
[03:04] <shao_lo> the session starts but then exits when i try to startkde
[03:05] <crweb> does kde exist in your chroot?
[03:06] <shao_lo> seems kinda obvious, but i didn't check that
[03:06] <shao_lo> hehe
[03:06] <Ryoga> blueyed: which tests please
[03:06] <blueyed> The list of tests that fail here is in the report at: http://trac.mochikit.com/ticket/93
[03:07] <shao_lo> well color me stupid..apt get wants to install a ton in my chroot for kde...thanks!!!!
[03:07] <blueyed> Ryoga: ^^
[03:07] <Ryoga> yes blueyed, they are the same
[03:08] <shao_lo> whats the gnome equivalent of startkde?
[03:08] <noiesmo> shao_lo, crweb just a thought do you need to mount proc ie mount -t proc /proc proc
[03:08] <blueyed> Thanks, Ryoga. Now we would "just" need to know, what our systems have in common and all the others not.. ;)
[03:09] <Ryoga> hmm
[03:09] <shao_lo> i think ive got it mounted...i made the chroot entries in my fstab
[03:09] <Ryoga> i didn't do any update yet
[03:09] <noiesmo> shao_lo, crweb i know when remastering knoppix you mount proc to get access to devices etc maybe need to do that just a thought
[03:11] <blueyed> Ryoga: I guess you have a localized KDE? I've just did "LANG=C konqueror" on the konsole and all tests pass.
[03:11] <blueyed> Ryoga: could you please verify this?
[03:12] <Ryoga> just a second...
[03:12] <blueyed> What does "echo $LANG" give on your console, Ryoga?
[03:12] <Ryoga> de_DE.UTF-8
[03:13] <blueyed> oh, yes, same with me. Thanks for your help. I'm quite sure the tests will pass with LANG=C on your system, too.
[03:15] <Ryoga> no blueyed
[03:15] <Ryoga> still the same result
[03:15] <crweb> i have gentoo running in a chroot for testing ;)
[03:16] <ubuntu_rocks> how do i upgrade kubuntu to the latest beta version?
[03:16] <crweb> ubuntu_rocks: i don't recommend doing it right now,  lots of problems
[03:16] <blueyed> uh. Very strange then, Ryoga.
[03:16] <crweb> ubuntu_rocks: with the upgrade process
[03:16] <Ryoga> yep
[03:16] <ubuntu_rocks> crweb: ok, but how would I go about doing it anyways?
[03:16] <crweb> ubuntu_rocks: you change  breezy to dapper, in your apt/sources.list
[03:17] <blueyed> crweb: change "breezy" to "dapper" in /etc/apt/sources.list and then apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:17] <ubuntu_rocks> ok thank you
[03:17] <crweb> blueyed: you mean ubuntu_rocks
[03:17] <blueyed> sry
[03:17] <crweb> :)
[03:18] <blueyed> I'm dist-upgrading since the beginning of the year and in the last weeks there weren't any problems, but breezy->dapper in one step might fail.
[03:18] <crweb> ubuntu_rocks: actually, change breezy to dapper,  apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrading
[03:18] <crweb> err, dist-upgrade
[03:18] <crweb> i did one yesterday,  made it unbootable
[03:18] <blueyed> yep, sure. update before dist-upgrade
[03:18] <crweb> messed up some kernel stuff
[03:19] <crweb> everyones systems are different though
[03:19] <crweb> i needed special scsi module to be loaded with initrd
[03:19] <blueyed> crweb: I'm using 2.6.16-vanilla anyway, because then resume works here. With the kernel from Ubuntu the graphics do not come up again..
[03:20] <crweb> right,  just saying, its not perfect yet
[03:20] <crweb> good reason for still in beta
[03:20] <blueyed> agreed.
[03:20] <LeeJunFan> blueyed: same here, I think it's probably frambebuffer though.
[03:20] <crweb> my fresh installs are awesome though
[03:20] <crweb> nothing else like it
[03:21] <blueyed> crweb: have you filed a bug about it? :}
[03:21] <crweb> probably should..
[03:21] <blueyed> LeeJunFan: nvidia card? (I've not tested it with the nv driver)
[03:22] <LeeJunFan> blueyed: ati.
[03:22] <crweb> nv resume works fine
[03:22] <crweb> i use nv a lot, when i don't need glx
[03:22] <blueyed> LeeJunFan: I'm not sure about frame buffer, but there have been just white stripes.
[03:22] <LeeJunFan> blueyed: Also doesn't work with glx and ATI.
[03:22] <shao_lo> crweb: you are the man! chroot works much better starting kde when it exists :)
[03:22] <crweb> :)
[03:23] <shao_lo> crweb: thanks!!!
[03:23] <crweb> np
[03:24] <blueyed> btw: is there supposed to be a button/menu entry in Kubuntu to hibernate? I just do "sudo /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh" currently.
[03:24] <crweb> if you start the kpowerapplet
[03:24] <crweb> you can from there
[03:25] <crweb> start the battery monitor
[03:25] <crweb> i dunno if there are other ways
[03:27] <oliver_> guten abend
[03:27] <blueyed> crweb: do you have a laptop? cause I don't see it. And I have no "kpowerapplet".
[03:27] <blueyed> oliver_: english, bitte.. :)
[03:27] <LeeJunFan> I prefer kpowersave and powersaved, You can set your fn-sleep button to suspend to RAM or Disk.
[03:27] <crweb> blueyed: the applet is in the Control Panel under laptops & power
[03:31] <blueyed> crweb: The "Battery" tab there says: "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation." - I have the modules it mentioned there enabled as module in the kernel though.
[03:32] <blueyed> "Start Battery Monitor" does nothing - prolly because I have no laptop..
[03:32] <Ahmuck> is there such a thing as rollover storage ?
[03:32] <blueyed> LeeJunFan: installing kpowersave would remove powernowd.. ?
[03:33] <LeeJunFan> blueyed: yeah, it uses powersaved instead.
[03:33] <blueyed> Does powersaved the same?
[03:33] <crweb> blueyed: it has no way of knowing if you have a laptop or not
[03:33] <LeeJunFan> blueyed: it does throttling, suspending, etc. Pretty much manages all ACPI or APM functions.
[03:33] <crweb> blueyed: you don't have some module loaded it is looking for
[03:34] <crweb> kpowersave is good too
[03:34] <crweb> which is the "battery applet"
[03:34] <CheeseBurgerMan> KLaptop?
[03:35] <blueyed> crweb: would I have to put them explicitely in /etc/modules? I'll try kpowersave.
[03:35] <crweb> i dunno
[03:35] <crweb> seems to be automatic
[03:35] <crweb> would depend on your pc's acpi and stuff
[03:35] <crweb> i don't know really, i just noticed that same error you have too
[03:36] <krenx> is it possible to turn off mouseaccel in linux?
[03:36] <crweb> i've never hibernated a desktop before either...
[03:36] <trappist> who knows what package contains default filetype associates for kde?  kuickshow has been removed (in dapper) but images still want to open with it
[03:37] <blueyed> kpowersave seems great. Thanks!
[03:38] <crweb> trappist: click on the file
[03:38] <crweb> trappist: go up to Edit
[03:38] <crweb> trappist: and click edit file types
[03:38] <trappist> crweb: I just want to know what package to file the bug against, that sets the default handler to an app we don't ship
[03:38] <blueyed> trappist: AFAIK the default associations do not get altered, after once setup. At least I've read that the last days in the help file.
[03:38] <trappist> I know how to fix it *for me*
[03:38] <Ryoga> blueyed: when I start kubuntu, it says that my master boot record and it's copy are not the same, why that?
[03:39] <crweb> trappist: removing a package, does not modify your users .kde/configs
[03:39] <trappist> blueyed: I'm not sure what you mean by that
[03:39] <trappist> crweb: good point.
[03:39] <crweb> trappist: if it did work like that, it would have very unstable results
[03:40] <crweb> trappist: kde is designed for kde
[03:40] <crweb> not to take advantage of apt-get
[03:40] <blueyed> trappist: there's probably no package you can file a bug against. Apart from the one that sets them up at first, the associations, probably. kubuntu-default-settings perhaps?
[03:40] <blueyed> Ryoga: I don't know. What have you done?
[03:40] <trappist> blueyed: yeah, the one I was looking for is the one that contains the initial defaults - that sounds like it could be the one.  it might be fixed, but I want to have a look at it.
[03:41] <crweb> however, if kubuntu is setting the "default" on shipment, to a package not even installed. then that is broken
[03:41] <crweb> but if you are talking about a package installed, then you change the default to kuickshow
[03:42] <crweb> removing kuickshow, WILL NOT switch you back to default
[03:42] <crweb> trappist: i think you'll find the "default" didn't change
[03:42] <crweb> trappist: your kde configs are still pointing to kuickshow
[03:42] <crweb> which are individual
[03:42] <aaron> I don't see how to upgrade my kubuntu to 6.06
[03:43] <crweb> trappist: best way to tell, create a new user, and login with that user real quick, and see what the default really is.
[03:43] <crweb> aaron: 6.06 isn't out yet
[03:43] <crweb> it is still beta
[03:43] <trappist> crweb: understood - I just apt-get sourced kubuntu-default-settings and said grep -ri kuickshow on it, and it's nowhere to be found, which means on new installs the problem will apparently be gone.
[03:43] <aaron> I don't have any repositories responding... can anybody give me a link to the right page?  beta is fine
[03:43] <trappist> crweb: hadn't thought of that
[03:43] <aaron> I don't want to do a new cd...  just want to apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:44] <aaron> but I need the repositories
[03:44] <crweb> aaron: just change breezy to dapper
[03:44] <crweb> aaron: but it is broken
[03:44] <aaron> :(
[03:44] <crweb> aaron: and probably won't work.  but if it does, good for you :)
[03:44] <aaron> so if I change the name in my repository list, it'll probably die a horrible death..\
[03:44] <crweb> trappist: i mean, if you set it to kuickshow,  you overwrote your users default
[03:44] <crweb> trappist: that gets put in YOUR .kde
[03:45] <crweb> trappist: the default didn't get changed
[03:45] <crweb> aaron: it is beta
[03:45] <aaron> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com  isn't responding
[03:45] <aaron> beta is fine
[03:45] <crweb> aaron: then just give it some time
[03:45] <aaron> I don't do alpha
[03:45] <crweb> or check your net connections
[03:45] <crweb> aaron: i did it yesterday, and it broke
[03:45] <aaron> I'm using the computer right now to talk and surf
[03:46] <crweb> aaron: others, mixed results
[03:46] <aaron> hurm... I have the 5.10 cd if I have to reinstall
[03:46] <crweb> aaron: well, i'm using them right now, seem to be working ;)
[03:46] <aaron> hurm...
[03:46] <crweb> you can install fine from cd's in my opinion
[03:46] <aaron> maybe dns is screwed
[03:47] <crweb> haven't had a glitch with that,
[03:47] <aaron> it says <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:47] <ubuntu_rocks> Can anyone recommend a good website editor for linux?
[03:47] <crweb> well, that's not exactly normal
[03:47] <CheeseBurgerMan> ubuntu_rocks: Bluefish or Quanta Plus.
[03:47] <crweb> ubuntu_rocks: nvu
[03:47] <CheeseBurgerMan> Or that. ;)
[03:48] <ubuntu_rocks> CheeseBurgerMan: is either one comparable to Dreamweaver?
[03:48] <crweb> trappist: system defaults are in /usr/share/kde,  if you change anything it is stored in your useraccounts .kde,  is what i was getting at.
[03:48] <CheeseBurgerMan> ubuntu_rocks: NVU is closest to dreamweaver.
[03:49] <aaron> crweb: bah... I hate quest
[03:49] <ubuntu_rocks> CheeseBurgerMan, : thanks
[03:49] <crweb> aaron: i've had awesome experiences with the 6.06 fresh install
[03:49] <aaron> their dns server was down :( sorry...   everything else was still working though
[03:49] <aaron> crweb: I won't hold it against kubuntu if it doesn't work in beta
[03:49] <crweb> aaron: except, there was a bug, release before last, that killed partition tables
[03:49] <crweb> but that's fixed
[03:50] <aaron> hehe.. I don't have any important data on this machine
[03:50] <crweb> well, try to upgrade, file bug reports on your problems
[03:50] <crweb> then fresh install
[03:50] <crweb> if you really odn't care
[03:50] <crweb> don't
[03:50] <aaron> I'm here to test it
[03:51] <Kadran> hi all
[03:51] <vinboy> hi guys.. i duno where else to ask this question
[03:51] <vinboy> is it legal for anyone to register for a domain name?
[03:51] <crweb> vinboy: sometimes, i try<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:51] <Kadran> i have installed kubuntu and i don't know what is my root password is there is a default password?
[03:51] <crweb> :)
[03:51] <vinboy> someone who do not have a registered company and not residing in USA
[03:51] <vinboy> :P
[03:51] <crweb> Kadran: you use sudo
[03:52] <crweb> Kadran: they don't set root password, or let you login as root   as the default
[03:52] <crweb> vinboy: details
[03:52] <crweb> vinboy: i'd still try it
[03:52] <crweb> vinboy: :)
[03:52] <vinboy> ok
[03:52] <vinboy> thx man
[03:53] <crweb> lol
[03:53] <crweb> what was the question?
[03:54] <crweb> vinboy: ?
[03:54] <crweb> vinboy: was just playin
[03:54] <Kadran> crweb: i was using mandriva linux and trying to use kubuntu so i have some questions
[03:54] <CheeseBurgerMan> Questions are fine. :)
[03:54] <Kadran> crweb: what is LVM root?
[03:55] <vinboy> crweb: i gonna register for a domain now
[03:55] <noteventime> !tell Kadran about root
[03:55] <vinboy> hehe
[03:55] <robotgeek> Kadran: logical volume management?
[03:56] <Kadran> and what is it used for, i have choosed it during the installation?
[03:56] <Kadran> is that right?
[03:57] <robotgeek> Kadran: that is what Ubuntu uses for managing disks, i am not sure about details.
[03:59] <Ryoga> isn't lvm sth like software raid?
[03:59] <Kadran> actually what i really liked in kubuntu more than mandriva that i feel it is faster and smooth
[04:00] <robotgeek> Ryoga: i think so, you have that option during installation
[04:03] <Ryoga> blueyed: how to change my screen resolution?
[04:03] <aaron> crweb: apt-get updating with dapper ...
[04:04] <blueyed> Ryoga: in "Control Center"
[04:05] <aaron> crweb: 456 megs later... I might have the program I want... I guess a cd image wouldn't be so bad... but I don't have any disks to burn it to :(
[04:06] <Ryoga> blueyed: yes, but the resolution I whish is not in the list
[04:06] <Ryoga> -h
[04:06] <blueyed> is it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, Ryoga ?
[04:06] <crweb> vinboy: was just playin
[04:06] <crweb> got disconnected, rain knocks out my internet
[04:08] <vinboy> ................
[04:08] <vinboy> yep
[04:08] <vinboy> im dizzy today
[04:08] <crweb> vinboy: what was your problem?
[04:08] <vinboy> no problem
[04:09] <Ryoga> brb
[04:09] <crweb> err, question, whatever
[04:09] <Kadran> hi, can any one help me in how to mount a hard disk?
[04:10] <robotgeek> !mount
[04:10] <ubotu> mount is, like, totally, the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[04:11] <oliver_> how can i use gcc3.4 to compile something
[04:11] <Kadran> ubotu: thanks
[04:11] <ubotu> Kadran: de nada
[04:11] <robotgeek> Kadran: ubotu is a bot
[04:11] <CellarDoor> hello folks
[04:12] <crweb> oliver_: gcc-3.4 filename.c
[04:12] <Kadran> ubotu: what do you mean with de nada?
[04:12] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Kadran
[04:12] <CellarDoor> !printers
[04:12] <ubotu> printers is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[04:12] <oliver_> i mean the make command with gcc3.4
[04:13] <crweb> oliver_: change the cc command in the make file from gcc to gcc-3.4
[04:13] <oliver_> is there an easier way
[04:13] <crweb> ?
[04:13] <crweb> how much easier are you wanting it?
[04:14] <oliver_> much easier :)
[04:14] <cueno> WOW
[04:15] <crweb> oliver_: sorry, out of luck then
[04:15] <crweb> oliver_: can't think of anything easier than editing 1 line in a make file
[04:15] <oliver_> i dont find a gcc command
[04:16] <crweb> see a line that sas   CC =
[04:16] <Ryoga> where's blueyed?
[04:16] <crweb> oliver_: see a line that says CC=
[04:17] <cueno> has anyone played with SCREEM?
[04:19] <AlinuxOS> hello :)
[04:19] <AlinuxOS> alive someone ? :)
[04:19] <CellarDoor> hello
[04:19] <AlinuxOS> CellarDoor, hello
[04:19] <CellarDoor> cueno, no, what is it like ?
[04:19] <AlinuxOS> I have amarok.po translated into Georgian (ka_GE.UTF-8) language
[04:20] <cueno> Cellar it's an website development tool, I'm trying to find something that's akin to Dreamweaver or Frontpage
[04:20] <AlinuxOS> I've putted it's mo file into /usr/share/locale-langpack/ka/LC_MESSAGES/ but it dosen't work
[04:20] <crweb> AlinuxOS: awesome
[04:20] <CellarDoor> cueno: good luck ;)
[04:20] <crweb> AlinuxOS: find somebody in #amarok
[04:21] <AlinuxOS> crweb, :)
[04:21] <AlinuxOS> I think it's generic question
[04:21] <AlinuxOS> where are located kubuntus .mo files generally?=
[04:21] <AlinuxOS> I'm Ubuntu user.
[04:22] <cueno> most people here are I believe
[04:22] <crweb> AlinuxOS: the amarok guys i would say both would want your translation, and would know exactly where to pu tit
[04:22] <CellarDoor> kubuntu here
[04:22] <AlinuxOS> ok
[04:22] <cueno> Kbuntu here as well, Dapper Drake
[04:22] <CellarDoor> ooh how is dapper looking ?
[04:23] <AlinuxOS> crweb, thank you.
[04:23] <crweb> CellarDoor: amazing
[04:23] <CellarDoor> excellent
[04:23] <crweb> AlinuxOS: i'm working on porting amarok album covers to postgresql
[04:23] <AlinuxOS> Kubuntu dapper or Ubuntu Dapper ?:)
[04:23] <crweb> they are the same
[04:23] <cueno> it's my 1st jaunt into Linux and Ubuntu and it's been a REALLY great experance
[04:24] <CellarDoor> meh I'm not into gnome
[04:24] <CheeseBurgerMan> Gnome is OK if you're very new, but after awhile it gets rather limited.
[04:24] <CellarDoor> its annoying crappola
[04:24] <cueno> I heard that that's why I went with KED
[04:25] <crweb> if you are very very very new
[04:25] <crweb> gnome is being designed with the idea that the user has never seen a computer before
[04:26] <cueno> well crweb I have an MCSE so I think Im a little famil with computers
[04:26] <CellarDoor> hehe
[04:28] <CellarDoor> Some things about gnome I like. I like its default desktop layout... simple dialogues... and erm... meh
[04:28] <crweb> the thing that i love the most
[04:28] <CellarDoor> Its default look is butt ugly
[04:28] <crweb> is every time i sit down at it, I have a flash back to 1991 and Apple System 7
[04:29] <CellarDoor> Its a pain trying to customize your desktop with gnome
[04:30] <CellarDoor> most people I've talked to who 'hate' KDE haven't used it for the best part of five years
[04:30] <crweb> and most people i've talked to who 'hate' gnome, HAVE tried it in the past 4 years
[04:30] <crweb> (since gnome 2.2
[04:30] <CellarDoor> lol
[04:31] <CellarDoor> hehe
[04:31] <crweb> 2.2 was great
[04:31] <crweb> 2.4, nice, slick clean
[04:31] <crweb> and that's all i got
[04:31] <CellarDoor> KDE's current control centre layout is counter intuitive in places, too labrynthine
[04:32] <CheeseBurgerMan> That's what the search is for. :)
[04:32] <CellarDoor> and yet it does have nice dialogues that gnome lacks
[04:32] <CellarDoor> changing icon themes in KDE is a breeze
[04:33] <CellarDoor> gnome (for me at least) has always been a headache
[04:34] <CellarDoor> anyone got any KDE4 news ?
[04:34] <CellarDoor> snippets ? tidbits ?
[04:35] <CellarDoor> guess I'll just have to wait
[04:39] <crweb> lots of work
[04:39] <crweb> kate is ported
[04:40] <CellarDoor> About all I can do to help is make the coffees
[04:43] <Kadran> hi, i try to use the add/remove programs from the k menu but it gives me an error that APT Database could not be opened? what is that
[04:45] <CheeseBurgerMan> Make sure you're running it as root.
[04:45] <CheeseBurgerMan> That would probably be 'kdesu adept' in a console.
[04:45] <CheeseBurgerMan> Open the K Menu Editor and see what the command for "add/remove programs" is.
[04:45] <CellarDoor> yeah
[04:48] <CellarDoor> bye all
[04:48] <CellarDoor> have a good day
[04:54] <m5m> Anyone use mutt with gpg???
[04:58] <m5m> I'm a bit confused as to why I can send with gpg and sometimes get prompted for my key, and other times I get an encrypted message that mutt won't prompt me to decrypt... I need to pipe it to gpg... I thought sometimes it automatically prompted you to open it with gpg and then opened it in an editor... not kubuntu specific I guess...
[04:58] <m5m> anyone use mutt here at all?
[05:00] <Ryoga> looked like kubuntu tried to overheat my PC... when I restarted my Laptop the fan was faster then ever :/
[05:04] <robotgeek> m5m: i used to use it, i just use kmail now
[05:05] <robotgeek> m5m: let me see if have my gpg settings there
[05:06] <robotgeek> m5m: http://rafb.net/paste/results/0PV5xC19.html
[05:17] <Kadran> i have problem in installation, how in install 'apt-setup' i don't got this command
[05:27] <_sEBAs_> !es
[05:27] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:31] <farous> anyone know of a  howto so i can add a quota or limit for users upload and download from the net?
[05:34] <crweb> farous: you'd have to setup a proxy that authenticats
[05:34] <crweb> farous: and have the proxy stop sending data to that acount after specific data transfer
[05:35] <farous> crewb thank you now off to google to see how i can do that. I though i can do it via ipconfig though can i?
[05:35] <farous> sorry ment iptabls
[05:36] <crweb> i wouldn't think so
[05:36] <crweb> theres no sort of tracking, or user acces with iptables
[05:37] <farous> ok thank you crweb
[05:40] <_darksoul> !dapper
[05:40] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
[05:41] <XP1> Why does my wireless card say "Out of range"?
[05:41] <XP1> it won't work anymore
[05:41] <crweb> XP1: i usually try to get a little closer when it says that ;)
[05:41] <XP1> it is close
[05:41] <XP1> like next to each other
[05:41] <XP1> it was working before
[05:41] <crweb> before what?
[05:41] <XP1> now it says that
[05:42] <XP1> when i first installed it
[05:42] <XP1> kubuntu
[05:42] <XP1> now, it's my 3rd reinstall and still won't work
[05:42] <crweb> is it a dlink wireless router?
[05:43] <XP1> yes
[05:43] <crweb> unplug it, and plug it back in
[05:44] <XP1> i've tried
[05:45] <XP1> many times since this morning
[05:45] <crweb> well, reinstalling obviously isn't fixing it
[05:45] <XP1> ok
[05:45] <XP1> brb
[05:46] <crweb> i'm not really sure what to tell you myself
[05:50] <XPI> ok
[05:50] <XPI> why does the default gateway blank out after i type the ip
[05:50] <crweb> ?
[05:50] <crweb> where?
[05:51] <XPI> network settings
[05:51] <crweb> ok...
[05:51] <crweb> in the kde control panel?
[05:51] <XPI> yes
[05:52] <XPI> control center
[05:52] <crweb> look under Routes  to set the gateway
[05:52] <crweb> if you change the ip, the gateway is probably going to change
[05:52] <XPI> yeah, it disapears when i press apply
[05:53] <crweb> i'm not using breezy... so i really can't help with visuals
[05:53] <crweb> sorry
[05:53] <XPI> :(
[05:54] <XPI> it's so hard to get wireless network working :(
[05:54] <crweb> setting a gateway won't matter until you are connected to a access point anyway
[05:54] <XPI> maybe a problem with ndiswrapper?
[05:54] <crweb> did you setup ndiswrapper?
[05:55] <XPI> yes
[05:55] <crweb> ndiswrapper takes more than just installing it
[05:55] <crweb> you have to download and install the windows drivers
[05:55] <XPI> /home/kubuntu/Drivers/
[05:55] <crweb> ok?
[05:55] <XPI> i installed them
[05:56] <crweb> you ndiswrapper -i file.inf
[05:56] <XPI> yes
[05:56] <crweb> maybe try a different combination
[05:56] <crweb> err.. different inf/sys
[05:56] <XPI> when i open wireless lan manager, it says "out of range"
[05:56] <XPI> hmm
[05:56] <crweb> well,
[05:56] <crweb> did you type a essid in?
[05:56] <XPI> yes
[05:57] <crweb> is it correct?
[05:57] <XPI> yes
[05:57] <krenx> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource - ive got problems with the patching part. would anyone be so kind to help me? :)
[05:57] <crweb> how about just leaving it blank?
[05:57] <crweb> XPI: it's probably saying out of range, cause it's not finding the essid you typed in
[05:58] <XPI> now it's stuck at Enabling wlan0
[05:59] <damian_> can i give sudo my password someow eg so i can use sudo inside of a script
[05:59] <damian_> i need to do a sudo mount -a on window manager load but dont want to have to type the password
[06:00] <tarmath> you'reobviously doing this the wrong way
[06:01] <tarmath> mounting all partitions should be done by default already in kubuntu, have you changed this?
[06:01] <crweb> damian_: add it to your fstab
[06:02] <crweb> damian_: mount -o username=<user>,password=<password> -t smbfs
[06:03] <crweb> heh
[06:03] <crweb> wrong channel
[06:14] <FearMoth> in adept, I go to install libxine1c2 and click "request install" but nothing happens. the "requested" action doesn't change from "no change" to "install", and apt-get install libxine1c2 says there's no installation candidate.. any idea why/
[06:29] <crweb> FearMoth: because that's not the righ tname
[06:30] <crweb> FearMoth: apt-caceh search libxine1c2
[06:30] <crweb> FearMoth: apt-cache search libxine1c2
[06:50] <kev1n> FearMoth: I had that problem. In the end I attempted to install through apot-get install and the error message provided said that libxine1-main has repalced that file
[06:51] <kev1n> libxine1c2 is an obsoleted file
[06:52] <FearMoth> ok, i'll try libxinelc2 thanks
[06:55] <FearMoth> i mean libxine1-main
[06:55] <FearMoth> thaks
[06:55] <kev1n> no probs
[06:55] <kev1n> i found it was already binstalled.
[06:57] <FearMoth> kev1n: yeah, same here, i need to get mp3 support.. what libraries do I need to install for amorok?
[06:58] <m5m> robotgeek: thanks for the pastebin re:gpg/mutt, it's still not reading them for me, but it's a small hassle to pipe them to gpg... I think it has to do with mime, not sure though
[06:58] <robotgeek> m5m: hmm, okay
[06:59] <m5m> robotgeek: I found this that makes sense, but i'm not sure, since it works via procmail whether it should work retro-actively for messages in my inbox... http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Mutt-GnuPG-PGP-HOWTO.html#sec-procmail.2

[08:36] <mohammed> hi i want to ask silly quistion?
[08:36] <mohammed> is ubontu in not a real user????????
[08:36] <Hobbsee> mohammed: shoot.
[08:37] <Hobbsee> mohammed: ubotu is a bot, so not a real user, yes
[08:37] <Hobbsee> !+bot
[08:37] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[08:37] <mohammed> am i taking to a machine
[08:37] <intelikey> correct
[08:37] <mohammed> oh that's really nice
[08:37] <fatejudger> Hobbsee: isn't it great to watch people talk to ubotu?
[08:37] <Hobbsee> hehe
[08:38] <fatejudger> I finally fixed my sound
[08:38] <fatejudger> someone responded to my bug report
[08:38] <fatejudger> said dmix was enabled by default for USB sound cards
[08:38] <fatejudger> so I did it myself
[08:38] <fatejudger> and it works great
[08:38] <mohammed> i thought that's a real man :) silly me hhhheee
[08:39] <q00p> does this work for anyone? echo "<?php print 'test'; exit; ?>" > test.php; php4-cgi ./test.php
[08:39] <q00p> it doesn't work for me in dapper.
[08:39] <q00p> i get no input file specified
[08:41] <fatejudger> I hope we see gstreamer 0.10 support for Kaffeine soon
[08:42] <fatejudger> gstreamer handles sound and codec errors a hell of a lot better than xine
[08:42] <fatejudger> it actually gives an error instead of crashing
[08:48] <fatejudger> does anyone know when Kaffeine is supposed to get gstreamer 0.10 support?
[08:48] <Hobbsee> fatejudger: i thought it was in dapper
[08:48] <fatejudger> Amarok JUST got support for gstreamer 0.10 in Dapper
[08:49] <fatejudger> I can't find the package for kaffeine
[08:49] <fatejudger> I don't think it exists

[10:17] <Yon> hey all
[10:17] <Yon> im trying to copy from one mounted hdd to a ext mounted hdd, and it keeps giving me an error
[10:18] <Yon> can sum1 plz help :)
[10:20] <Yon> ... anyone awake?
[10:22] <foda> can you give us any more info? what kind of external hdd, what are its permissions, what is the error
[10:22] <foda> ?
[10:23] <foda> Yon
[10:24] <Yon> kk, um.. i made the mount writeable
[10:25] <Yon> and the error is 'could not make folder
[10:25] <Yon> '
[10:25] <foda> hmmm
[10:25] <Yon> both hdd's  r NTFS
[10:25] <Yon> and i used mainly in windows
[10:26] <Yon> **and are used ..
[10:26] <foda> do you have any probs writing to other external mediums?
[10:26] <foda> i dunno... i got nothin'
[10:26] <Yon> hmm... i dont know... i dont have any
[10:26] <Yon> damn, so u dont have this prob?
[10:27] <foda> nope
[10:27] <Yon> coz i have it from any hdd to hdd
[10:27] <Yon> i have a 3, + an ext
[10:28] <foda> try asking on ##linux or #ubuntu, there are more ppl there
[10:28] <Yon> kk
[10:28] <Yon> thx
[10:28] <foda> sorry couldn't be more help
[10:28] <Yon> naa, thx for trying :)
[10:31] <uniq> yon: if the disk is NTFS you will get problems in linux. NTFS support in linux is very limited.
[10:32] <Yon> :/ no way to over come this?
[10:32] <uniq> write to NTFS?
[10:33] <uniq> there are evil and insecure hacks. But writing to NTFS is recommended only from windows.
[10:33] <Yon> from NTFS to NTFS
[10:33] <uniq> If you want to keep your files I would recommend doing this operation from windows.
[10:33] <Yon> ... thats my prob, i need to formatt coz i cant get into mindows
[10:33] <Yon> *windows
[10:34] <uniq> ok. then you can take a look at captive-ntfs, as far as i know it's the best alternative.
[10:34] <uniq> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaptiveHowTo
[10:34] <Yon> captive ntfs?
[10:35] <Yon> kk
[10:35] <Yon> thx
[10:35] <uniq> if you want to backup partitions you might want to checkout partimage.
[10:36] <uniq> http://www.partimage.org/
[10:36] <uniq> but then again, if you need to write to a ntfs-disk you would want captive-ntfs anyway.
[10:37] <Yon> oh wait, im useing grub right, now if i install windows on a diffrent HDD, is it gona mess things up?
[10:37] <uniq> yes, probably.
[10:38] <Yon> :/ lol, so i have to reinstall linux... ?
[10:38] <uniq> windows will overwrite grub
[10:38] <uniq> no, not reinstall linux, only grub.
[10:39] <uniq> you'll have to boot to a livecd/rescue cd and reinstall grub, after installing windows.
[10:39] <Yon> kk
[10:39] <Yon> i think ill do that then
[10:39] <Yon> thx
[10:39] <uniq> the process is explained step by step on ubuntuforums.org somewhere.
[10:40] <Yon> ok, thx alot man
[10:41] <JoHn123> hi
[10:41] <uniq> hi.
[11:11] <Broxtor> how can I set up my soundcard in Dapper?
[11:15] <kmon> hi
[11:25] <kmon> where can I disable IPv6 in dapper?
[11:31] <soulfreshner> how do I tell what the executable name is for a program running in gnome /kde
[12:00] <hardfalcon> hi
[12:31] <hardfalcon> is anybody in here who has got kernel 2.6.16 to run?
[12:43] <nico8481> hi
[12:49] <endy> a
[12:52] <dokong> which package contain mod_dir for apache2? can't find when apt-get search mod_dir
[12:54] <dokong> done
[12:57] <Jupp3> By the way, is Ubuntu 6 much better than the latest release version?
[12:57] <Ubugtu> Ubuntu bug 6 in gdb "gdb package contains non-free GNU FDL documentation" [Normal,Resolved: notwarty]  http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6
[12:58] <Jupp3> A few friends have said that is'a  LOT better... Faster etc.
[12:59] <Hobbsee> er...it shouldnt be, per se...
[12:59] <Get_Hyphy> whether a desktop os is faster is pretty subjective
[01:00] <Jupp3> Well, obviously it was about Ubuntu, not Kubuntu :)
[01:00] <Jupp3> But obviously I'll want Kubuntu
[01:03] <Hobbsee> heh
[01:10] <WhyM> Am I the only one having trouble with xine over smb???
[01:11] <Jupp3> Well, as I've already downloaded & burned the install iso, I'll have to try it
[01:32] <ninHer> hi all
[01:33] <kosh> hello
[01:37] <edu> hi
[01:44] <dragon> hi
[01:44] <dragon> can some one tell me how i can login as root
[01:45] <kosh> you don't
[01:45] <kosh> you use sudo to run commands as root
[01:45] <edu> miji
[01:45] <edu> hey
[01:46] <edu> how can i mount usb mass storage devices in kubuntu 5.10? it's strange, ubuntu does but kubuntu don't :-S
[01:46] <kosh> all you should have to do is plug it in
[01:46] <kosh> and it should just auto work
[01:46] <kosh> I have not seen any cases so far where that did not work
[01:47] <edu> :-S
[01:47] <edu> in my case
[01:47] <edu> i install ubuntu, or try the live cd, and it works, but in kubunt it simply don't work! :-(
[01:47] <dragon> so how can i change the fstab in sudo
[01:48] <edu> and in mandriva works, with kde, so it must be a bug, isn't it?
[01:48] <dragon> have you look fot a pugin in adept ?
[01:49] <dragon> for*
[01:50] <edu> no, i haven't
[01:51] <kosh> dragon: well sudo vim /etc/fstab would do it if you like using vim
[01:51] <kosh> dragon: however you might be happier with using kdesu kedit /etc/fstab   if you are in the gui
[01:51] <edu> one last question
[01:52] <edu> can i install kubuntu from an ubuntu installation? with synaptic, adding the cd to the repositories
[01:53] <kosh> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:53] <kosh> all of kubuntu is in the main archives already
[01:53] <bimberi> edu: sure - 'sudo apt-cdrom add' (to add the cd) then ^^^^ :)  (or use synaptic)
[01:56] <edu> thanks, bimberi
[01:56] <edu> bye
[01:56] <edu> i'll try it
[01:56] <dragon> when i try to open the fstab file it say command cannot found
[01:57] <soulfreshner> what is the default window manager for kde?
[01:57] <kosh> soulfreshner: kwin
[01:57] <kosh> dragon: what command did you use?
[01:57] <soulfreshner> ta, kosh :)
[01:57] <dragon> sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:58] <dragon> sudo kedit /etc/fstab
[01:58] <kosh> okay how about just doing alt-f2   kdesu kedit
[01:58] <kosh> and when kedit opens have it open /etc/fstab
[01:59] <dragon> kedit is not found :S
[01:59] <kosh> you have kubuntu installed but no kedit?
[02:00] <dragon> i think so :P
[02:00] <soulfreshner> xgl is awesome!!
[02:00] <kosh> that sure seems strange
[02:00] <Hobbsee> kosh: kwrite is installed by default, no kedit
[02:01] <kosh> okay do kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab
[02:02] <dragon> it works :D
[02:03] <dragon> thx for the help :D
[02:05] <noiesmo> here are some xgl screens http://noiesmo.dnsalias.net/compiz_pics/
[02:13] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: yep - and here is how to set it up :) it works for kde and gnome http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267
[02:14] <soulfreshner> I can't stop wobbling my windows....
[02:15] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, the link i posted is my screens i have xgl
[02:15] <noiesmo> mine spring into shape when i minimise and max a konsole window
[02:16] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: hehe -oops, sorry :)
[02:16] <dragon> hi
[02:16] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, np :0
[02:17] <dragon> is there a decent program to open rar files ?
[02:17] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: maybe youc can help me, then - how do I get the fade to work?
[02:18] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, have you got gconf-editor
[02:18] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: yep
[02:18] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, ok go to apps > compiz > plugins
[02:19] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: got it
[02:19] <soulfreshner> what do I need to set?
[02:19] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, If you remove "splash" from the window_ypes of fade then it works correctly.
[02:20] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: removed...
[02:20] <soulfreshner> do I need to restart compiz?
[02:20] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, no should need to
[02:21] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: hmmm... I can't see a difference - how / when are the windows supposed to fade?
[02:22] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, use keys left shift +alt + mouse wheel is what i use
[02:22] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, they should also fade when you move them but
[02:23] <soulfreshner> noiesmo: it doesn't do anything (L<Shift>+L<Alt>+MouseWheel)
[02:24] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, hmm when i put mouse over xchat then do (L<Shift>+L<Alt>+ turn MouseWheel) it fades
[02:25] <krenx> !wine
[02:25] <dragon> !wine
[02:25] <dragon> ?
[02:26] <noiesmo> soulfreshner, also if you have multiple windows open do not the non active fade
[02:30] <dragon> how can i open rar files ???
[02:30] <dragon> !rar
[02:30] <ubotu> well, rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[02:31] <SlimG> dragon: sudo apt-get install unrar (you must have plf in repos)
[02:32] <dragon> file exist
[02:32] <dragon> that is what is get
[02:33] <dragon> Parcel unrar has no installeerbare candidate
[02:33] <dragon> installeerbare is instaleble
[02:36] <dragon> it cant instal unrar
[02:42] <noiesmo> dragon, you need multiverse in sources.list then sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rar sudo ln -fs /usr/bin/rar /usr/bin/unrar
[02:42] <rysiek|pl> guys, could someone give me a hint, what's the command for getting the user's homedir (e.g. this_command '~mike' -> '/home/mike')? DIR='~mike' does not seem to work in bash scripts :/
[02:44] <angasule> rysiek|pl: $HOME I think it is
[02:44] <h3sp4wn> rysiek: $HOME
[02:44] <rysiek|pl> not the current user's, though (sorry, should've told that in the first place)
[02:45] <angasule> has any of you installed an HP laserjet 1020? the foo2zjs driver in *buntu seems outdated
[02:45] <angasule> rysiek|pl: you could read /etc/passwd
[02:46] <rysiek|pl> angasule: yeah, I could, but that seems a bit overshot for a simple, 10-line script (I mean, all the string operations and such)
[02:46] <rysiek|pl> and I seem to remember there *was* a simpler way
[02:47] <angasule> rysiek|pl: umh, get a list of all directories in /home ?
[02:47] <rysiek|pl> won't work when the user has some strange homedir (and in this case - he does. it's a daemon's user)
[02:48] <rysiek|pl> ~hal2006 -> /var/run/hal2006 it is, so no /home here. I could, of course, hardcode the path, but that's, well, lame :)
[02:49] <angasule> rysiek|pl: well, hardcode, use passwd or ask in #bash , I don't know what else you can do
[02:49] <Ryoga> Hi I have a problem with my screen resolution, can someone help me?
[02:50] <rysiek|pl> angasule: ok, thx anyway.
[02:50] <rysiek|pl> Ryoga: what's the prob
[02:50] <WhyM> Ryoga: Have you edited your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[02:51] <Ryoga> WhyM: I don't know what line to edit
[02:52] <angasule> Ryoga: what *is* the problem?
[02:52] <WhyM> The modlines under Section "Monitor"
[02:52] <kudrnac> hi
[02:52] <kudrnac> how are you?
[02:52] <angasule> hi kudrnac
[02:52] <Ryoga> angasule: i want to set my resolution to 1280x800
[02:52] <Ryoga> but it's not in the list
[02:53] <WhyM> You can add it manually (ex: "kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf")
[02:54] <Ryoga> modeline  "1024x768@60" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync
[02:54] <Ryoga> what are all these numbers?
[02:55] <noiesmo> ubotu, tell Ryoga about resolution
[02:56] <Ryoga> ty
[03:00] <root> hi
[03:01] <Icke> I have a problem; Kubuntu boots fine, but when i log in at the login screen, the screen goes black and then returns to the login screen :(
[03:02] <Icke> console login works fine
[03:03] <Hobbsee> !xhangs
[03:03] <ubotu> If the GUI hangs after logging in, use <ctrl><alt><f1> to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority
[03:04] <Ryoga> ahh, seems to be because I have a strange intel 915 graphic adapter
[03:12] <sword> what's a good program to determine your case temperature, etc?
[03:19] <Ryoga85> hi
[03:19] <Ryoga85> yeah, it works!
[03:20] <niekie> Hmm.. I'm trying to make my screensaver turn on when I move away with my Bluetooth mobile phone, with the "Device Discovery" jobs in kbluetoothd, however the "Also execute job regularly:" checkbox is grayed out, anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
[03:22] <Ryoga85> nice idea niekie
[03:22] <niekie> Ryoga85, hehe.
[03:24] <niekie> Ryoga85, is that box grayed out for you too?
[03:25] <Ryoga85> where is it?
[03:25] <Ryoga85> ah
[03:25] <Ryoga85> yes
[03:25] <Ryoga85> it is
[03:26] <qualus> heya. is it safe to change the hostname of a computer, to something other than that what your network settings gave when installing Kubuntu ?
[03:26] <niekie> Ryoga85, that's what's blocking me from doing what I want, I guess.
[03:26] <niekie> And I have no idea as to why it is grayed out.
[03:27] <Ryoga85> hmm
[03:27] <qualus> as in, my hostname is now ZYYYMMMCCCLX, and i want it to be Carolina ?
[03:27] <HymnToLife> qualus> man hostname
[03:28] <HymnToLife> basically all you hae to do is run the command sudo hostname your_new_hostname and change the first line of /etc/hosts according to the new hostname you choose
[03:28] <qualus> ahh.. right
[03:30] <qualus> so that'll give me basically a new hostmask, instead of botching everything up ?
[03:30] <HymnToLife> exactly
[03:30] <qualus> right, cheers, mate
[03:30] <HymnToLife> and DON'T forget to edit /etc/hosts or you won't be able to sudo ;)
[03:31] <qualus> hehe, will do ^^
[03:32] <qualus> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost ZYYYMMMCCCLX <-- so i'll just change the latter part to "Carolina"
[03:34] <nanhovan> I can't use skim to input chinese
[03:34] <Ryoga85> niekie: how to set up the screen saver at all?
[03:34] <nanhovan> I am in Kubuntu now
[03:34] <nanhovan> Could you give me some suggestion?
[03:35] <qualus> hmm...
[03:36] <qualus> ok.. it won't let me save the changes O_o
[03:37] <qualus> sudo: unable to lookup carolina via gethostbyname() <-- i keep getting that message
[03:42] <qualus> sooo.. i'm stuck now, i can't change the hostname back to the way it was, nor can i access /etc/hosts to save it
[03:42] <Ryoga85> ah, got it
[03:46] <qualus> damnit.. little help, please ?
[03:46] <lance> hello
[03:46] <qualus> i'm seriously stuck now :/
[03:46] <JohnFlux> qualus: why can't you access /etc/hosts ?
[03:47] <qualus> i can access it, bu i can't save the file after editing
[03:47] <lance> Is there a way to have multiple unix logins for one person, but the same home, same everything... just different usernames
[03:47] <JohnFlux> qualus: are you root?
[03:47] <soulfreshner> qualus sudo vi /etc/hosts
[03:47] <qualus> yes, i am
[03:47] <JohnFlux> lance: make a new user, then change /etc/passwd to point to the same home
[03:48] <JohnFlux> lance: then put both users in the same group
[03:48] <lance> JohnFlux: Thanks! I'll try that
[03:48] <JohnFlux> lance: then chmod g+rwX  everything in their home and chown all the files to be in that group
[03:48] <qualus> hmm.. now what ? i entered "sudo vi /etc/hosts)
[03:48] <JohnFlux> qualus: i don't see why as root you can't save it
[03:49] <JohnFlux> qualus: then you should be able to edit the file
[03:49] <qualus> sudo: unable to lookup carolina via gethostbyname() <-- i keep getting that message
[03:49] <JohnFlux> qualus: ah
[03:49] <JohnFlux> qualus: hmm
[03:49] <qualus> i did "sudo hostname carolina" which changed it from ZYYYMMMCCCLX to carolina
[03:50] <qualus> and now i'm screwed :(
[03:50] <JohnFlux> i see
[03:50] <qualus> but it didn't let me edit the file before the change either
[03:50] <lance> JohnFlux: Thanks.. I have two different usernames on two seperate servers, but it causes me grief when I try to remotely edit files with "vi"... so I figure I'll just su to the proper username before editting... does this sound like it will work?
[03:50] <JohnFlux> qualus: okay you will need to reboot, and chose safe mode
[03:50] <JohnFlux> qualus: that should dump you in as root
[03:50] <qualus> ok
[03:50] <JohnFlux> qualus: fix /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[03:51] <JohnFlux> At least I think kubuntu sets up a safemode boot
[03:51] <qualus> ok, i'll try that
[03:51] <JohnFlux> lance: you could put both users in the same group
[03:51] <JohnFlux> lance: then make sure all the files are owned by that group
[03:52] <JohnFlux> although the usernames are on two seperate servers?
[03:52] <JohnFlux> hmm
[03:52] <lance> JohnFlux: yead different servers... dont have admin on those servers
[03:52] <hussam> kkathman: hello
[03:53] <JohnFlux> lance: dunno sorry
[03:53] <lance> JohnFlux: but I think the multiple identities on this machine will work... I'll just switch to the right one before connecting..
[03:54] <hussam> Riddell: is the beta2 live cd relatively safe to install from?
[03:55] <qualus> damnit..
[03:55] <qualus> i'm in GNOME failsafe now..
[03:55] <qualus> and it won't let me do anything
[03:56] <hussam> qualus: why are you in failsafe?
[03:57] <qualus> since i tried to correct the hostname by booting up to failsafe, which "should've" booted me as root (which i already was, but after changing hostname, couldn't sudo at all)
[03:57] <qualus> gah.. what do i do ?
[03:59] <qualus> oh hell.. i can't change the hostname back at all
[04:00] <qualus> i'll reboot
[04:06] <TehUni> if i'm using kubuntu dapper flight6 and all is well... any need to upgrade to beta2?
[04:07] <hussam> TehUni: probably yes, flights are alpha releases. beta releaes should be more stable.
[04:07] <Ryoga85> niekie: are you still there?
[04:07] <niekie> Ryoga85, yes.
[04:07] <TehUni> mmmm
[04:07] <TehUni> might be about time for a fresh install anyway
[04:07] <TehUni> i've about broken this one enough
[04:07] <Ryoga85> niekie: can you tell me how to set the screen saver?
[04:08] <niekie> Ryoga85, what do you mean?
[04:09] <vge> hmm, so which is the newest version atm?
[04:10] <Ryoga85> niekie: I want to use a screen saver, where can I enable it, chose it and so on?
[04:10] <deflate> hi, do I need more than 2GB to install kubuntu?
[04:10] <qualus> w00t :D
[04:11] <niekie> Ryoga85, click the K icon, go to System Settings, and click on "Desktop"
[04:11] <qualus> it returned to the old one, booted to recovery mode, and now it's back to normal ^^
[04:11] <niekie> Then you'll see Screen Saver listed, as far as I know.
[04:11] <Ryoga85> ah, right
[04:11] <Ryoga85> yeah, ty, that was the menu i missed *lol*
[04:11] <vge> em i wrong if i assume that if id had dapper that my system is upgraded to latest version, or em i wrong?
[04:11] <Ryoga85> another question
[04:12] <Ryoga85> I want to play 3D games, how to enable 3D for my graphic card?
[04:12] <niekie> Depends on your graphic card.
[04:12] <HymnToLife> Ryoga85> what kind of card ?
[04:12] <TehUni> Ryoga85: what card?
[04:14] <deflate> it's weird because qtparted won't allow me to choose that partition
[04:15] <Ryoga85> HymnToLife & TehUni: Intel Media 915 or something
[04:15] <HymnToLife> ow
[04:17] <TehUni> would it make sense to mount my /home folder on a different partition? seems like it fills up much quicker than everything else. or should i change my downloading\installing habits?
[04:18] <vge> TehUni: yes, absolutely
[04:18] <vge> that way you can install the operating system without loosing your settings
[04:18] <HymnToLife> +1
[04:18] <TehUni> vge: which? mount it elsewhere?
[04:19] <TehUni> ok
[04:19] <TehUni> when i do a fresh install, how do i do that?
[04:19] <TehUni> so things start going where they should?
[04:19] <vge> you can set the other partition as /home
[04:19] <TehUni> just put it in fstab? or is there lots more to it than that?
[04:19] <vge> i mean in install you can
[04:20] <TehUni> oh really?
[04:20] <TehUni> ok

[05:00] <decious> where can I find the supported repositories for Kubuntu?
[05:00] <steveire> test
[05:00] <qualus> is dapper worth upgrading to already, or should one wait for the stable version ?
[05:02] <decious> not to many active people, nobody knows where I can find the most recent source.lst?
[05:03] <chowells> qualus: some things might be broken, on the other hand, some things might work better. impossible to say.
[05:03] <Tm_T> decious: sources.list doesn't change really
[05:03] <qualus> ah, right
[05:03] <qualus> maybe i'll give it a poke
[05:03] <vge> decious: no harm here
[05:03] <Tm_T> qualus: dapper isn't released yet, so noguarantee, it's always at your own risk
[05:04] <qualus> aye
[05:05] <billytwoilly> hi, I'm on dapper drake through doing an ubuntu install then installing kubuntu-desktop.
[05:05] <decious> I am getting a lot of errors indicating that the packages marked for upgrade are not there
[05:05] <chowells> qualus: I stuck it on my laptop and it seems relatively fine
[05:05] <billytwoilly> in synaptic, it says I have kuickshow installed, but it is not available as an option to view a picture or on the command line when I type kuickshow
[05:06] <deflate> can I install kubuntu to an extended partition?
[05:07] <deflate> because qtparted won't see it
[05:07] <vge> !bug
[05:07] <ubotu> bugs are reported to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
[05:07] <neumi> hi guys, where can i set the option to switch between the virtual desktops by moving the cursor to the site of the frame?
[05:09] <renato> anyone know how I can improve kubuntu sound?
[05:10] <renato> 'cause it sucks big time :-P
[05:10] <vge> improve sound?
[05:11] <vge> get better speakers? ;)
[05:11] <renato> heheh
[05:11] <renato> anyone else?
[05:11] <billytwoilly> anyone    on dapper? could you try and see if kuickshow works for you pelase?
[05:11] <renato> :-P
[05:11] <renato> dapper's out?
[05:12] <renato> stable?
[05:12] <billytwoilly> beta 2
[05:12] <renato> oh, ok
[05:12] <billytwoilly> really quite stable though.
[05:12] <renato> what's new?
[05:12] <neumi> firefox^^
[05:12] <billytwoilly> only problem is the kuickshow package doesn't appear to have kuickshow in it..
[05:12] <vge> i get newest dapper if i have the dapper repos?
[05:12] <renato> I'll wait for the stable
[05:13] <billytwoilly> just switch everything in your source.list to dapper and you can update to dapper...
[05:13] <billytwoilly> I'd wait though.
[05:13] <renato> I'm quite happy with breezy
[05:13] <neumi> think so @ vge
[05:13] <billytwoilly> I only did an install because I bought a new computer and didn't want to reinstall/update when dapper came out.
[05:13] <renato> sound sucks though
[05:13] <renato> big time
[05:13] <vge> in what way?
[05:14] <neumi> maybe you have set the wrong soundserver
[05:14] <renato> I didn't set anything
[05:14] <neumi> ^^
[05:14] <Moopere> sound in kde has always sucked
[05:14] <renato> it's kind of dim
[05:14] <TheUni> i'm doing a fresh install of kubuntu on an a64 system. should i use the a64 version? or is x86 easier to use/maintain ?
[05:14] <Moopere> arts is well past its use by date
[05:14] <billytwoilly> is anyone even working on arts anymore?
[05:14] <Moopere> nope - not for years now
[05:15] <Moopere> neither with esd either tho
[05:15] <renato> what's arts?
[05:15] <Moopere> arts is the kde software mixer/sound server
[05:15] <billytwoilly> really? and here I thought esd was all getting developed and crap... and arts was getting left in the dust...
[05:15] <renato> interesting
[05:16] <vge> i just have huge :(
[05:16] <Moopere> nope, esd hasn't has any development for years.  just like arts tho, it gets bug fixes to a certaIN DEGREE
[05:16] <Moopere> oops - caps lock
[05:16] <renato> does anyone know if I can get into my windows partition from here?
[05:16] <renato> and if so how?
[05:16] <Ryoga85> renato: are you on the live cd?
[05:16] <TheUni> renato: you need to mount it.
[05:16] <vge> nfts disks can be read
[05:16] <billytwoilly> so yah, dapper users please try and use kuickshow and get back to me...
[05:16] <renato> no, I'm running breezy
[05:17] <renato> it's installed
[05:17] <renato> for months now
[05:17] <Moopere> what is kuickshow?
[05:17] <billytwoilly> Moopere: really good image viewer.
[05:17] <Ryoga85> renato: hmm
[05:17] <TheUni> renato: http://ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[05:17] <Moopere> installed by default?
[05:17] <Ryoga85> well I can access mine
[05:18] <vge> billytwoilly: where can i get it?
[05:18] <decious> so what is the difference between dapper, hoary, and breezy?
[05:18] <renato> thanks
[05:18] <billytwoilly> vge: you have to be on dapper...
[05:18] <Ryoga85> how to install ndiswrapper on a PC without internet connection?
[05:18] <vge> who say i  aint?
[05:18] <apokryphos> decious: check the beta release notes to find out.
[05:18] <billytwoilly> decious: just newer software...
[05:18] <vge> and i canf find it in repos
[05:18] <billytwoilly> vge: apt-get install kuickshow
[05:18] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: not just software updates. More schemes 8)
[05:18] <apokryphos> i.e. espresso
[05:19] <billytwoilly> bah.. you can install more themes by yourself.. it's essentially just more software.. and all the software works better together...
[05:19] <apokryphos> vge: kuickshow has been removed from dapper IIRC
[05:20] <vge> IIRC?
[05:20] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: they removed kuickshow?!??!!?
[05:20] <apokryphos> if I recall correctly
[05:20] <TheUni> what's kuickshow?
[05:20] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: yeah, it sucks.
[05:20] <billytwoilly> iirc=if I remember correctly
[05:20] <Moopere> umm
[05:20] <billytwoilly> kuickshow is awesome.
[05:20] <vge> yes, could not find it
[05:20] <Tm_T> err?
[05:20] <apokryphos> ermm, why?
[05:21] <apokryphos> what does it have that gwenview or digikam could possibly lack?
[05:21] <billytwoilly> because it's very minimalist and it automagically shows the pictures in the directory around the picture you're viewing when you scroll the mouse whell.
[05:21] <apokryphos> it hasn't been actively maintained for years
[05:21] <billytwoilly> that's probably why it's so minimalist and thus awesome.
[05:21] <renato> how worried should I be about viruses with linux?
[05:21] <vge> renato: close to none
[05:21] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: gwenview is minimalist when you use it to open up just one picture
[05:21] <Moopere> thats really weird - there is a package for kuickshow, but its not got kuickshow inside
[05:21] <renato> oh, good, thanks vge
[05:22] <apokryphos> Moopere: it's going to be removed entirely for dapper
[05:22] <vge> hmm, in what repo is it, cos i cant eaven see the empty paggage?
[05:22] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: k, how do I get rid of the crap along the top of gwenview and make it so it will scroll the pictures in the directory when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse?
[05:22] <renato> and does anyone know why internet speed is lower with kubuntu than it is when I boot Windows?
[05:22] <Moopere> vge: its in universe
[05:22] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: you remove the "crap" the same way you remove it in any other KDE application
[05:23] <renato> slower*
[05:23] <Moopere> renato: not so here - same speed
[05:23] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: can I set it up to scroll throw the pictures in the directory with the scroll wheel on my mouse?
[05:23] <renato> hmm, that troubles me
[05:23] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: perhaps; check the settings
[05:23] <HymnToLife> renato> depends on lots of things, are you on dialup ?
[05:23] <renato> no, LAN
[05:23] <Moopere> ya, lan here too
[05:23] <HymnToLife> hmm this is not normal
[05:24] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: yes, there is an option in gwenview for that
[05:24] <renato> crappy LAN though
[05:24] <renato> lol
[05:24] <vge> Moopere: as i see i have universe added, but i cant see it
[05:24] <Moopere> renato: how are u measuring the network throughput?
[05:24] <apokryphos> gwenview is a far superior image viewer (both embedded and stand-alone) than old kuickshow
[05:24] <renato> by clicking on links and waiting
[05:24] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: if you know where it is please let me know;) otherwise I'll just have to keep searching..
[05:24] <renato> :-P
[05:25] <Moopere> renato: You might have firefox troubles with ip6 perhaps?
[05:25] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: it's in the same place that all KDE applications have to alter their settings...
[05:25] <renato> actually firefox runs a little faster than konqueror
[05:25] <Moopere> also ubuntu firefox build is supposed to be really really slow compared to others
[05:25] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: KDE is all about consistency ;-)
[05:25] <steveire> renato: I had the same issue.
[05:25] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: Settings > Configure
[05:25] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: I think I foudn it in shortcuts, but it won't let me put the scroll wheel in for the shortcut.
[05:25] <renato> really, what did you do steveire?
[05:25] <Moopere> renato: really?  Firefox faster than Konq?  wow, thats messed up (smile)
[05:25] <vge> any gui program to set download speeds of sertain processes?
[05:25] <renato> ha ha
[05:26] <steveire> Someone here told me how to fix it
[05:26] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: options for mouse-related things always remain in configure > settings. Configure shortcuts is only keyboard-based shortcuts.
[05:26] <steveire> I'll try and remember
[05:26] <myndmelder> Anyone using azureus? I seem to have hit a snag.
[05:26] <renato> you're not gonna be that someone for me, are you?
[05:26] <renato> :-P
[05:26] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: I found it. thanks.
[05:26] <vge> myndmelder: have used it yes, why?
[05:27] <Moopere> I been messing around with my logitech quickcam 4000 all damn day - its never gonna work with Dapper I think
[05:27] <decious> Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[05:27] <decious> this is one of the issues I get with using my sources.list
[05:27] <ubuntu> Moopere: are you having trouble with kopete and your webcam?
[05:28] <Moopere> ubuntu: ya
[05:28] <apokryphos> decious: can you pastebin your sources.list?
[05:28] <Moopere> ubuntu: Theres a bug with the current version of kopete
[05:28] <renato> you can use kopete and  a webcam
[05:28] <ubuntu> I put in a bug for that last night, there is supposed to be a patch that may be merged into dapper.
[05:28] <renato> that's so awesome, now I can trash my windows partition, :-O
[05:28] <myndmelder> Well, it doesn't want to download... I used Guarddog to disable the firewall (temporarily), but the program still does not want to connect with anyone... I looked thru the forums, but found no similar problem.
[05:28] <Moopere> renato: Well, I can't :)))
[05:28] <decious> apokryphos, not sure how to pastebin
[05:29] <apokryphos> !pastebin
[05:29] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[05:29] <renato> sorry, Moopere, got carried away
[05:29] <Moopere> ubuntu: Ya, I saw the bug report on bugs.kde.org today

[05:30] <vge> where can i suggest a feature to KDE?
[05:30] <Moopere> ubuntu: I can't get my logitech to talk to anything tho - something wrong in V4L2 I fear - it used to work on hoary
[05:30] <myndmelder> vge did you catch that? New to IRC
[05:30] <renato> many thanks *bows in appreciation*
[05:31] <renato> anybody know anything about grass?
[05:32] <vge> myndmelder: ohh, that kind of problems, im bad at those,  it worked just fine for me sry :/
[05:32] <billytwoilly> heh. the file transfer dialog keeps freezing... apparently doesn't like transferring 70 GB of stuff around..
[05:32] <apokryphos> decious: use that link above
[05:32] <myndmelder> Thanks, worth a shot :)

[05:33] <Ryoga85> does anyone know how to set up the graphic card to be able to play 3D games?
[05:33] <Moopere> why thank you obotu
[05:34] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: never tested that; just use shell, I'd say.
[05:34] <apokryphos> Ryoga85: yes; what card do you have?
[05:34] <Simon^^> hey, i have probs with playing sounds. kubuntu plays standardsounds but im not able to play mp3s using amarok or kaffeine.
[05:34] <_bbeck> Moopere: can you give me an example of where you use the webcam, I'm just borrowing this one to see if it would work with dapper.  I just assumed that the only place you can use it was with kopete.
[05:34] <Simon^^> is there any way to see if full duplex is enabled?

[05:35] <apokryphos> Simon^^: kubuntu.org -> faq
[05:35] <steveire> does anyone use kopete for sms?
[05:35] <Moopere> _bbeck: camstream - also, it looks like kooka (scanner) should use a cam too
[05:35] <hussam> has anyone tried installing using the beta2 live cd?
[05:36] <v3ctor> Simon^^: mii-tool
[05:36] <apokryphos> hussam: nope, but I did an upgrade at the time and it looked pretty good
[05:36] <Ryoga85> apokryphos: intel media 915 or something
[05:36] <_bbeck> Is SKIM crashing for anyone else when you try to exit?
[05:36] <Moopere> _bbeck: camstream looks like it really should work tho -
[05:37] <Moopere> _bbeck: but not for me and my logitech I'm sorry to say
[05:37] <hussam> apokryphos: I'm downlaoding beta2 live cd. I want to do a fresh install.
[05:37] <Moopere> _bbeck: even ekiga locks up
[05:37] <Simon^^> works, thx
[05:37] <Ryoga85> hussam: i did
[05:37] <apokryphos> Ryoga85: hm, not sure that you can have hardware acceleration on intel cards
[05:38] <decious> apokryphos: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13150
[05:38] <Ryoga85> apokryphos: hmm :(
[05:39] <hussam> Ryoga85: is it safe? I heard the beta 1 live cd installer caused data loss so I opted to wait for beta2.
[05:39] <Moopere> apokryphos: I'm pretty sure that HW accel works with most intel chips, but its just that the intel vga chips are pretty damn slow :(
[05:39] <apokryphos> Ryoga85: on nvidia, anyway, you add:   Option   "RenderAccel"   "true" to the "Driver" section of your xorg.conf
[05:39] <apokryphos> Moopere: do you know if hardware acceleration is enabled with them in the same way?
[05:40] <vge> hmm, in general, is my /home partition removable to other dapper machine?
[05:40] <Ryoga85> hussam: I used Partition Magic on Windows to make my partitions and just reformatted them with the installer
[05:40] <Moopere> apokryphos: I don't think so - I think its enabled by default....from memory this is how it went for me with an 845 chipset anyway
[05:40] <apokryphos> vge: yup
[05:40] <vge> sweet ;)
[05:40] <apokryphos> vge: best to try to conserve your KDE version in the transfer
[05:41] <hussam> Ryoga85: so it won't affect other existing hard disks or partitions?
[05:41] <vge> apokryphos: explaing conserve
[05:41] <apokryphos> vge: i.e. from kde 3.5 dapper, to another kde 3.5 dapper
[05:41] <Ryoga85> _bbeck: yes
[05:42] <vge> apokryphos: ic
[05:42] <apokryphos> vge: though, still, really, it should be fine. No insurmountable problems, for sure.
[05:42] <Ryoga85> _bbeck: when I exited skim and thought it was closed, 30 seconds later I got a message that it chrashed
[05:42] <Ryoga85> no hussam
[05:42] <apokryphos> I've had the same kde more-or-less for around a year (on different distros :P).
[05:42] <_bbeck> Ryoga85: thanks, that's what I was getting too, I just wanted to make certain it wasn't just this system.
[05:43] <billytwoilly> heh.
[05:44] <billytwoilly> so with the new pretty system settings that is simplified, I can't find anything;) where do I go to tell kde what apps I want to be used to do various things?
[05:44] <Ryoga85> brb
[05:44] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: configure konqueror -> settings -> file associations
[05:45] <billytwoilly> apokryphos: ok, I specifically wan to tell konversation to use firefox instead of konqueror... I'm assuming that is not in the same spot?
[05:45] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: not the same, no. You want to change the default webbroswer, which is in KDE's systemsettings
[05:45] <vge> billytwoilly: use this as the firefox start parameter "firefox %u"
[05:46] <apokryphos> K Menu -> System Settings
[05:46] <billytwoilly> where in system settings though? I can't find anything because it's all changed...
[05:48] <TheUni> would there be any performance gain to compile my own kernel for kubuntu?
[05:48] <vge> TheUni: not worth to compile the kernel for speed increase
[05:49] <billytwoilly> depends on how exotic your cpu is..
[05:49] <TheUni> a64 3500+
[05:49] <billytwoilly> not worth it...
[05:49] <TheUni> ok
[05:49] <TheUni> and...
[05:49] <billytwoilly> especially since there is already an amd64 kernel..
[05:49] <TheUni> what would the speed difference btw a64 and x86 builds be? i'm running the x86 for compat reasons
[05:50] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: search for "default"
[05:50] <billytwoilly> everything went grey...
[05:50] <apokryphos> billytwoilly: something like component chooser IIRC
[05:50] <vge> games of the day: openttd, wings2 :)
[05:51] <Ryoga> it doesn't work :(
[05:52] <decious> apokryphos: did you see anything out of the ordinary in my sources.list
[05:53] <Ryoga> apokryphos: i added "option RenderAccel" to my xorg.conf but it doesn't work
[05:54] <apokryphos> decious: try removing all occurences of "us."
[05:54] <apokryphos> it plays up a lot
[05:54] <apokryphos> Ryoga: you have to add it in the exact syntax (including the exact quote marks) as I provided above
[05:54] <Ryoga> no apokryphos
[05:54] <Ryoga> it didn't start at all when i did
[05:54] <apokryphos> what error
[05:54] <Ryoga> said "true" is not allowed
[05:55] <apokryphos> ok, it's not available in that way
[05:55] <Ryoga> or something
[05:55] <Ryoga> hm
[05:55] <apokryphos> either it's on by default, or you can't enable it
[05:55] <Ryoga> apokryphos: so i can't use it? :(
[05:56] <apokryphos> as I said, either it's on by default, or you can't enable it
[05:56] <decious> apokryphos: same problem
[05:56] <apokryphos> Ryoga: what's the output of glxinfo|grep -i direct?
[05:56] <apokryphos> decious: can you pastebin the full error?
[05:57] <Ryoga> direct rendering: No
[05:57] <Ryoga> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[05:58] <apokryphos> Ryoga85: nvidia cards are so cheap, and an awful lot better :D
[05:58] <Ryoga85> apokryphos: yeah, but i'm using a laptop
[05:59] <Moopere> even my old gf2-mx400 kicks 915/945/955 gfx ass
[05:59] <decious> apokryphos: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13151
[05:59] <Moopere> Ryoga85: u really can't do much - I've got an intel 845 vga on my lappy and its rubbish
[05:59] <Ryoga85> Moopere: I have gf2-mx400 too, but it just doesn't fit into my laptop *lol*
[06:00] <Moopere> Ryoga85: the dang thing understands all the 3d stuff, its just so slow...
[06:01] <Moopere> u know, I've seen new lappys with some sort of 'pcie' expansion slot - looks a lot like a pcmcia/cardbus slot, but its for replaceable graphics accelerators - damn good idea that
[06:01] <vge> my voodoo3 is still working in every platform i put it in, alltought this intel integrated shdit is fine too on my laptop
[06:02] <Moopere> vge: Try playing something like World of Warcraft with your intel video... I tried, and then I cried :)
[06:02] <apokryphos> decious: odd.   I use kaffeine for everything - works a treat
[06:05] <cueno> I'm still trying to get a DVD to play on my system with Dapper
[06:05] <Moopere> noteventime: yep
[06:05] <noteventime> I have direct rendeing on mine :/
[06:05] <Moopere> noteventime: Yeah, i got it going on my 845 as well, but its still slow as anything
[06:05] <noteventime> cueno, install libdvdcss
[06:05] <noteventime> Moopere, glxgears fps?
[06:06] <noteventime> I get about 1300 (T_T)
[06:06] <Moopere> noteventime: can't remember, I'm on my nvidia powered lappy right now
[06:06] <noteventime> :D sweet
[06:06] <decious> apokryphos: switching the sources.list was the secret sauce
[06:06] <apokryphos> decious: interesting
[06:07] <noteventime> Will network-manager be a part of ubuntu soon?
[06:07] <Moopere> anyone noticed how difficult it is becoming to buy a new decent laptop with an nvidia chip these days?
[06:07] <cueno> noteventime I've tried "apt-get install libdvdcss" but there isn't any listing in the apt-get database I'm using dapper
[06:07] <decious> apokryphos:  is the source.list sensitive to special characters like ^I, etc?
[06:07] <noteventime> cueno, you need the plf repo
[06:08] <Moopere> cueno: No, its a shell script installed with libreadvd3 I think
[06:08] <apokryphos> decious: perhaps
[06:08] <noteventime> cueno, http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf
[06:09] <Moopere> cueno: install libdvdread3
[06:10] <Moopere> cueno: then go to /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples and run a script called install-css.sh
[06:10] <decious> apokryphos: nothing out of the ordinary, just return  $ at the end of each line.  dunno, at any rate thanks :)
[06:11] <cueno> I'm noticing how useless my MCSE is in GNU/Linux
[06:11] <myndmelder> I installed Java 1.0.5 but azureus is using an older java that is in Kubuntu... And I cannot find it via Adept to remove it... Any advice?
[06:12] <Ryoga85> hmm
[06:12] <Ryoga85> apokryphos: maybe it works with the driver from the intel website?
[06:13] <Moopere> Ryoga85: you still trying to get some performance from your intel vga?
[06:13] <Ryoga85> yes
[06:13] <Ryoga85> but it's an rpm package :/
[06:13] <Moopere> Ryoga85: I don't remember going to intel for the answer
[06:13] <Moopere> Ryoga85: you want me to go get my other lappy and have a look?
[06:14] <_bbeck> myndmelder: I'm not suggesting that you change bittorrent clients I'm just curious, what does Azureus provide that Ktorrent does not?
[06:14] <Moopere> Ryoga85: actually, noteventimewill know, he's running a 915 and its the same driver iirc
[06:14] <Moopere> noteventime: do you remember how you got dri working with the 915?
[06:15] <noteventime> Moopere, simply change the driver to i810
[06:15] <cueno> I did the libreaddvd3 deal including running the script, but still nada
[06:15] <Moopere> noteventime: thats what I thought too - "it just works"
[06:16] <noteventime> cueno, libdvdread doesn't have support copy protected dvds
[06:16] <myndmelder> _bbeck: To be honest, I just like it. That and I was having problems with ktorrent freezing up on me all the time (I used at first since I had just installed kubuntu, and wanted to give it a try)
[06:16] <noteventime> cueno, You will need libdvdcss
[06:16] <Moopere> cueno: nada?  What, you can't play DVD's???  did hyou close and then reopen kaffeine?
[06:17] <vge> amarok dont seems to know how to randomize playlist :/
[06:17] <Ryoga85> noteventime: but can you play 3D games?
[06:17] <Moopere> cueno: if you ran the script you will now have a directory /usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2 is that right?
[06:17] <cueno> Mooepere No plugin found to handle this resource (dvd:) and yes I did reopen kaffeine
[06:17] <cueno> let me check about the libdvdcss2
[06:17] <vge> i take that back, it randomizes the list allright, would be better that it would keep the list in order and randomize the next song
[06:17] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Yes i've played Wolfeinstein enemy territory on it
[06:18] <Ryoga85> noteventime: any why doesn't it work for me? :(
[06:18] <noteventime> http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb <- here is a deb if you want
[06:18] <noteventime> Ryoga, Are you running dapper?
[06:18] <Ryoga85> yes
[06:18] <noteventime> :/ Strange, I didn't have to do anything
[06:18] <myndmelder> _bbeck: But besides the point, I still need to figure out why mu latest version of Java ain't working...
[06:18] <noteventime> Worked out-of-the-box
[06:19] <Moopere> noteventime: I usually find that the script under /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh works pretty well to grab a copy of libdvdcss2
[06:19] <Ryoga85> noteventime: can you check your xorg.conf file if there is sth like "RenderAccel"?
[06:19] <noteventime> ohh, didn't know that
[06:19] <Moopere> tho sometimes the site it busy (or down)
[06:20] <noteventime> Ryoga85, I'll pastebin my whole xorg.conf
[06:20] <cueno> noteventime thx
[06:20] <Moopere> Ryoga85: what r your glxgears numbers?
[06:21] <noteventime> !pastebin
[06:21] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[06:21] <Ryoga85> Moopere: where do I know that from?
[06:21] <noteventime> Ryoga85, glxgears -printfps
[06:22] <noteventime> Ryoga85, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13152
[06:22] <Moopere> Ryoga85: its not a very good benchmark, in fact, its no benchmark at all - but it can give you a 'feel' for whether or not your card is performing
[06:23] <Ryoga85> 1254 frames in 5.4 seconds = 231.196 FPS
[06:23] <noteventime> Ryoga85, OK, i get 1200 FPS :D
[06:23] <Moopere> I've got a geforce4 440 go here (old old old NV17) getting 1600-1700fps
[06:24] <noteventime> I got an old gf2 mx 440 performing better :D
[06:24] <Ryoga85> so you see there is really a problem *lol*
[06:24] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Take a look in the xorg.conf i postec
[06:24] <apokryphos> just fine ;-)
[06:24] <Moopere> noteventime: ya, this 'go' chip is in the lappy - they are not quick
[06:24] <noteventime> Moopere, In windows I got rather good performance ;)
[06:24] <Ryoga85> noteventime: how do I find it?
[06:25] <Moopere> Ryoga85: nope, sounds about right - what are you getting noteventime with your 915 ... about 1300-1400?
[06:25] <noteventime> Could play Dungeons and dragons online with good fps
[06:25] <Moopere> noteventime: Ya, with this 440 go I can play my beloved WoW no problems
[06:25] <noteventime> Moopere, 1200 - 1300 fps
[06:25] <Moopere> Ryoga85: There ya go - noteventime is getting about the same as you
[06:26] <noteventime> no he gor 200 fps
[06:26] <Ryoga85> yes 200
[06:26] <Ryoga85> but
[06:26] <Moopere> oops
[06:26] <Ryoga85> in my opinion it looked like around 2 to 5
[06:26] <Moopere> I thought you say 1200 - sorry
[06:26] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Read a few lines up ;) "Ryoga85, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13152"
[06:26] <vge> 600+ is good enough
[06:27] <Ryoga85> oh, sorry, I missed it
[06:27] <Moopere> Ryoga85: what chip you got again?  915/945?
[06:27] <Ryoga85> Moopere: 915
[06:28] <Moopere> Ryoga85: should be faster than my 845 - I'll go find my other lappy
[06:28] <qua> so.. my APT went tits up just now
[06:28] <qua> how can i repair the damage done ?
[06:28] <qua> it gives me an error-message : Malformed line 40 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[06:28] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Did you take a look at the xorg config
[06:29] <apokryphos> qua: check line 40 of that file then
[06:29] <qua> and runnign sudo apt-setup won't help
[06:29] <Ryoga85> *mom*
[06:29] <qua> i can't edit the bloody thing :(
[06:29] <Ryoga85> 1000ppl talking to me at once...
[06:29] <noteventime> :D
[06:29] <noteventime> thats how helpfull the community is
[06:29] <apokryphos> qua: you need root powers of course
[06:29] <noteventime> ;)
[06:29] <apokryphos> it's in /etc
[06:30] <qua> The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/apt/sources.list.
[06:30] <qua> Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.
[06:31] <qua> that's what i get after trying to save the file after editing
[06:31] <qua> how can i check my rights into the system ?
[06:31] <noteventime> qua, Did you edit as root
[06:32] <apokryphos> qua: I just told you what to do
[06:32] <apokryphos> qua: /msg ubotu root     ....to find out about root in linux
[06:32] <apokryphos> qua: you'll want to edit the file with alt+f2 -> kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:32] <stargater> hi
[06:32] <apokryphos> hi stargater =)
[06:33] <qua> ok, i'll try that
[06:34] <stargater> hi apokryphos
[06:34] <qua> yes ! thanks a million, mate apokryphos  :D
[06:34] <Moopere> Ryoga85: you there?
[06:34] <Ryoga85> no
[06:34] <Ryoga85> *lol*
[06:35] <qua> poor wording aside, thanks for the help
[06:35] <qua> heh
[06:35] <Ryoga85> sory, my cousin tries to set up kubuntu too
[06:35] <Moopere> Ryoga85: I found my other lappy
[06:35] <Ryoga85> but he needs wlan and misses the ndiswrapper :/
[06:35] <Moopere> what u get when you type glxinfo | grep rendering
[06:35] <Ryoga85> Moopere: cool (and now?)
[06:35] <stargater> is this a user chan. ore developer chan. ?
[06:35] <stargater> -e
[06:35] <Ryoga85> wolfram@liam:~$ glxinfo | grep rendering
[06:35] <Ryoga85> direct rendering: No
[06:36] <Moopere> Ryoga85: ok, I get get Yes on my 845 intel, so the answer has to be in xorg.conf
[06:36] <TheUni> anyone had any problems installing b2? the cd boots and runs, but when i click "install", i get 1 screen then it crashes.
[06:36] <phasegen> stargater: a little of both, but more user than anything
[06:36] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Did you find anything in my xorg.conf?
[06:36] <qua> !easysources
[06:36] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, qua
[06:36] <qua> erm.. heh
[06:36] <Ryoga85> noteventime: not yet because i had no time to open it...
[06:37] <apokryphos> stargater: it's a channel for support in Kubuntu
[06:37] <Moopere> Ryoga85: you got xorg.conf open now?
[06:37] <noteventime> Ryoga, tell your cousin to install knetworkmanager
[06:37] <noteventime> Ryoga85, tell your cousin to install knetworkmanager
[06:37] <noteventime> It's the best thing ever :D
[06:38] <Ryoga85> noteventime: but he needs ndiswrapper first

[06:39] <noteventime> Ryoga85, What card is he using?
[06:39] <phasegen> Is there a good 3D driver for for an i810/i845 out there somewhere???
[06:40] <Moopere> phasegen: No - talk to Ryoga85 about that :)))
[06:40] <phasegen> hahahaha  thank you...
[06:40] <phasegen> my laptop is almost obsolete then...
[06:40] <Moopere> phasegen: seriously tho - what numbers are u getting from glxgears?
[06:41] <Moopere> Ryoga85: got xorg.conf open yet?
[06:41] <phasegen> I haven't even tried...   I haven't put a game on it since year before last...
[06:41] <Ryoga85> yes
[06:41] <Ryoga85> but i see no real difference
[06:42] <Moopere> Ryoga85: under Section "Module" make sure that Load "dri" is there
[06:42] <Ryoga85> noteventime: belkine wireles desktop network card
[06:42] <noteventime> same modules loaded?
[06:42] <noteventime> Ryoga85, Ok dunno about that one
[06:42] <Moopere> Ryoga85: and also Load "GLcore"
[06:43] <Ryoga85> GLcore is
[06:43] <Ryoga85> glx is
[06:43] <Ryoga85> but dri was missing!!
[06:43] <Moopere> Ryoga85: you need dri as well
[06:43] <Moopere> aha
[06:43] <Moopere> Ryoga85: also, under Section "Device" make sure driver is "i810"
[06:44] <Moopere> Ryoga85: at the end of the file check Section "DRI"
[06:44] <Moopere> there should be a line Mode 666
[06:44] <Moopere> if not, dri won't work
[06:44] <Ryoga85> Section "DRI"
[06:44] <Ryoga85>   Mode 0666
[06:44] <Ryoga85> EndSection
[06:44] <Ryoga85> that?
[06:45] <phasegen> I'm about to dump ubuntu and put kubuntu on my desktop.  I'm dual booting with XP.  Any cautionary notes?  It's going to be a complete wipe and redo.
[06:45] <Moopere> Ryoga85: also, the user you are logged in as must have right to use video acceleration
[06:45] <Moopere> Ryoga85: yep, that
[06:45] <Moopere> phasegen: yeah, get ready for a serious performance increase
[06:46] <phasegen> excellent
[06:46] <tomplast> hi people, can anyone help me with getting any media plugin to work in konqueror?
[06:46] <noteventime> :) The new espresso installer is cool
[06:46] <Ryoga85> Moopere: how can I make sure to have that right?
[06:46] <stargater> apokryphos:  ok thx for the info
[06:46] <tomplast> i have tried with mplayer and kmplayer-konq-plugins :/
[06:46] <noteventime> tomplast, hejsan :)
[06:46] <tomplast> noteventime: tjena :)
[06:47] <noteventime> tomplast, Try the kaffeine plugin
[06:47] <tomplast> noteventime: you mean krasheine?
[06:47] <noteventime> kaffeine-mozilla, should work for konqueror
[06:47] <Moopere> Ryoga85: type groups *username* replacing *username* with your username obviously
[06:47] <tomplast> noteven: its unstable
[06:48] <noteventime> They both use the same plugin system AFAIK
[06:48] <Moopere> Ryoga85: one of the groups your user should be part of is video
[06:48] <noteventime> tomplast, kaffeine-mozilla?
[06:48] <Ryoga85> yes
[06:48] <Ryoga85> i'm member of group video
[06:48] <Ryoga85> ok
[06:48] <noteventime> Ryoga85, now restart the xserver
[06:48] <noteventime> ;D
[06:48] <Moopere> Ryoga85: good - you now need to restart X (ctl-alt-bkspace)
[06:49] <try_it_over> hey... i have ubuntu 5.10 installed, how can i have the latest kde installed on my system?
[06:49] <Moopere> oop
[06:49] <Moopere> that would be ryoga85 rebooting
[06:49] <noteventime> try_it_over, info at www.kubuntu.org
[06:49] <Moopere> try_it_over: go to kubuntu.org I think they have 3.5.2 available for breezy
[06:50] <try_it_over> but,  can i use kubuntu packages on ubuntu?
[06:50] <Moopere> noteventime: by the way, I'm only getting around 400fps on glxgears with my intel 845 (yuk!)
[06:50] <noteventime> try_it_over, install kubuntu-desktop
[06:51] <try_it_over> nice
[06:51] <noteventime> Moopere, :( thats bad
[06:51] <Ryoga85> yeah!
[06:51] <noteventime> Ryoga85 wb
[06:51] <Ryoga85> it works!
[06:51] <noteventime> nice
[06:51] <Ryoga85> tyvvvvvm guys
[06:51] <try_it_over> ;-) thx very very very very very much for your support
[06:51] <Moopere> wheeeeee
[06:51] <noxs> hi all
[06:51] <noteventime> np :D
[06:51] <noxs> nice to use kubuntu....!
[06:51] <noteventime> 'ello noxs
[06:51] <Moopere> whats your fps now Ryoga85???
[06:51] <iNiku> hmm. I just did an apt-get upgrade and now the panel has disappeared
[06:51] <noteventime> Ryogar85, 1200?
[06:51] <Ryoga85> Moopere: I was about to check...
[06:52] <iNiku> is that supposed to happen?
[06:52] <Ryoga85> 5681 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1136.108 FPS
[06:52] <noteventime> Ok ppl, I gtg now
[06:52] <noteventime> bye
[06:52] <Moopere> Ryoga85: yep, sounds about right - good stuff
[06:52] <noxs> is there any easy way to use thunderbird with an local spamfilter like bayesian filter (spampal in windows e.g)?
[06:52] <Moopere> noteventime: ciao
[06:52] <tomplast> noteventime: from my own and other people's experience you should avoid kaffeine-mozilla, its a crashers paradise
[06:53] <noxs> the spamfilter setup should be very simple....not too complex with procmail and, and and...
[06:53] <noteventime> tomplast, ok :D works ok here. Barely used it though
[06:53] <tomplast> noteventime: so I don't assume you have no concret solution?
[06:53] <noxs> it should work fast..
[06:53] <Moopere> Ryoga85: u should know, my intel 845 suffers only 400fps _with_ dri haha
[06:53] <tomplast> noteventime: exactly, how can you tell something if you dont know :p
[06:53] <noteventime> tomplast, Thats what i use, so i guess no
[06:54] <tomplast> noteventime: k, thanks anyway
[06:54] <noteventime> :D bye
[06:54] <tomplast> noteventime: are you leaving?
[06:54] <Ryoga85> hehe Moopere
[06:54] <noteventime> tomplast, Yes, going to dinner at my grand parent
[06:54] <noteventime> s
[06:55] <tomplast> noteventime: oki, t frsiktigt s att du inte brnner dig p tungan :P
[06:55] <noteventime> tomplast, Sjlvklart :D
[06:56] <Ryoga85> bye noteventime|away
[06:56] <iNiku> the panel appears briefly when I log in, then goes away
[06:56] <iNiku> any ideas?
[06:59] <GliderMike> Hi all, what's happening today?
[06:59] <iNiku> ahh. never mind :D
[07:00] <Ryoga85> does anyone know how to install unreal tournament on linux?
[07:01] <Moopere> iNiku: I usually just delete my ~/.kde directory when/if beta kde starts going weird on me
[07:01] <GliderMike> Ryoga, I did, what seems to be the trouble?
[07:02] <iNiku> Moopere, it wasn't anything that complicated, I'm afraid
[07:02] <iNiku> I'm just new to kde. always used just a window manager until now
[07:02] <Ryoga85> GliderMike: nvm, my brother has my CD so I can't try now
[07:02] <TheUni> is the text-mode install automated? or do i have to do it manually?
[07:02] <Ryoga85> lol
[07:03] <Ryoga85> or has it my cousin?
[07:03] <iNiku> hmm, I'm getting tons of these in .xsession-errors:
[07:03] <iNiku> kbluetoothd: HciSocket::open()
[07:03] <iNiku> kbluetoothd: Bind failed: No such device
[07:03] <GliderMike> well yep, that would be the first dependency :-)
[07:03] <iNiku> wonder why it's doing that...
[07:03] <GliderMike> I believe it was as simple as mount the cd and run ./linux_installer
[07:04] <GliderMike> or ./installer_linux , can't remember which
[07:04] <Moopere> iNiku: I don't know - I don't have bluetooth on my lappy
[07:05] <Moopere> iNiku: so for me I only get one error - no bluetooth, then it moves on
[07:05] <Ryoga85> hm, my bluetooth usb stick works
[07:05] <Moopere> iNiku: but I doubt some weird bluetooth errors are causing your panel to dissappear
[07:06] <iNiku> Moopere, that's the weird part, I don't either. I have a USB bluetooth dongle that I use occassionally but it's not connected now, and has not been connected since I rebooted the laptop
[07:06] <iNiku> but I have a feeling something is remembering the bluetooth dongle that isn't connected now and that's causing the errors
[07:06] <Moopere> iNiku: its probably polling something to see if it reappears - but I wouldn't worry aboujt it
[07:07] <iNiku> heh, no. the panel disappeared because I had hiding enabled and in the new kde version the default unhide sport is the bottom left corner, which I didn't realize :P
[07:07] <Moopere> iNiku: :)))
