[00:09] <linuxvisitor> I have problem with amarok playing wma files. It always skips once in the begining 1-3 seconds in. The skip is always in the same place for each song
[00:09] <hcbox> how can i add dictionnaries to kontact ? ( want to add french dictionary)
[00:12] <bazhang_> mic654654: you can also try source-o-matic to change all that
[00:12] <neosaki> So, if I wanted to install 7.10 with KDE 4.0RC1, how would I go about this?
[00:12] <bazhang_> neosaki: carefully :}
[00:25] <kamui__> i cant build the intel iwlwifi driver keep getting the error about /lib/modules/kernver/source not found
[00:26] <kamui__> what do i need to apt on my new gutsy system

[00:28] <theverant> anyone know why I need to run Quanta as root to be able to change the colour scheme?  Otherwise changes I make don't apply...
[00:30] <HoNgOuRu> hi I want to tell u guys that I fix my ati problem
[00:30] <HoNgOuRu> I have installed the latest privative ati driver with graphic acceleration
[00:31] <Alonea> BluesKaj: sorry it took me so long to answer. I had to leave for a moment. fgl_glxgears? no. its says its not installed. when I reformatted my system I haven't tried to put back on fglrx yet.
[00:31] <HoNgOuRu> I uninstalled the driver with envy, and from out of the X installed the .run file and that was all
[00:31] <Alonea> BluesKaj: but before the reformat I did.
[00:31] <HoNgOuRu> thanx anyway
[00:40] <theverant> ok, well, it's more than just Quanta.  Apparently I can't change any system colours in KDE.  Control panel changes colours, but no other program changes... even after restarting
[00:40] <theverant> anyone know what could cause this?
[00:42] <naelr> so can someone tell me why I cannot compile a new kernel?
[00:45] <Hamra> !kernel | naelr
[00:45] <ubotu> naelr: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[00:45] <naelr> I am very convinced mister ubotu....... thanks hamra
[00:48] <darlos> hello
[00:48] <darlos> guys, i am unable to play any shoutcast on my amarok!!!

[00:48] <darlos> plz
[00:49] <tarin> can anyone help with loss of internet?
[00:51] <tarin> hello?
[00:51] <tarin> are darlos and i the only ones here?
[00:51] <darlos> tink so
[00:51] <theverant> nah
[00:51] <theverant> I'm here, I'm just of no use to you
[00:51] <tarin> lol well at least you are honest
[00:52] <theverant> darlos - have you tried asking in Amarok
[00:52] <theverant> maybe someone is awake there?
[00:58] <tarin> anyone...internet help
[01:01] <dmcglone> anyone know where I can find the kicker bar that looks like the icons are sitting on top of it for compiz fusion?
[01:03] <bazhang_> tarin: what's the problem?
[01:04] <tekstacy> 'lo all
[01:04] <bazhang_> hiya
[01:04] <dmcglone> Hello
[01:04] <bazhang_> the cavalry has arrived :}
[01:04] <tekstacy> What's a good program to backup DVDs?
[01:05] <bazhang_> k3b
[01:05] <bazhang_> or vlc
[01:05] <zibrah3ed> dd
[01:05] <bazhang_> depending on your needs and type of dvd
[01:05] <tarin> i booted into gutsy and no internet
[01:05] <tekstacy> I thought vlc was just a player
[01:05] <tarin> happens everytime
[01:05] <tarin> i am dual booting with xp
[01:05] <bazhang_> tarin: could you be more specific? what does ifconfig say
[01:05] <dmcglone> did you set it up tarin?
[01:06] <dmcglone> tarin did you by any chance reboot from XP to Kubuntu?
[01:06] <tarin> yes
[01:06] <tarin> when i first installed it worked fine
[01:07] <zibrah3ed> tekstacy: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Backup_a_DVD
[01:07] <dmcglone> then your machine may not be completely releasing the NIC, try shutting completly down first
[01:07] <tarin> then i upgraded from fesisty
[01:07] <tekstacy> Thanks
[01:07] <tarin> feisty and now it wont do it
[01:08] <dmcglone> the first step I would take is shutting down completely to see if the machine is releasing the NIC properly
[01:08] <zibrah3ed> tarin: wired or wireless adpater?
[01:08] <tarin> wired
[01:08] <tarin> with a router
[01:08] <tarin> dsl
[01:09] <zibrah3ed> tarin: Do you know the model of your adapter
[01:09] <tarin> home build
[01:09] <tekstacy> tarin, take a look at virtualbox, it beats dual-booting
[01:09] <tarin> i dont want a virtual machine
[01:09] <htmldotcom> not in my experience.
[01:09] <htmldotcom> vm's are slower
[01:10] <htmldotcom> you cant beat a hdd install
[01:10] <tarin> thats for sure
[01:10] <zibrah3ed> tarin: output of lspci for your adapter example "00:12.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 PCI Express bridge (rev a2)"
[01:11] <dmcglone> I can almost guarantee you he just needs to completly shutdown.
[01:11] <zibrah3ed> could be
[01:11] <dmcglone> he rebooted from XP, I've had the same problem many times over.
[01:12] <zibrah3ed> Never had that problem, but it probably depends on your hardware
[01:12] <mzanfardino> have have a very simply script that I would like to have run whether or not a user logs into the system.  Currently it's sitting in ~/.kde/Autostart.  Where can I move it such that it will start without the need of a user being logged in?  Or is that possible?
[01:12] <dmcglone> it's sporadic though.
[01:12] <mzanfardino> s/have/I
[01:12] <mzanfardino> s/simply/simple
[01:13] <tarin> ok now knetman is not even starting
[01:13] <tarin> and if i choose it from menu it does nothing
[01:13] <Dragnslcr> mzanfardino- should be able to just make it a cron job
[01:13] <mzanfardino> Dragnslcr: not familiar with that process sadly, but I will research it
[01:14] <Dragnslcr> !cron
[01:14] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:14] <Dragnslcr> KCron is good for setting it up
[01:14] <mzanfardino> Dragnslcr: thanks
[01:15] <Dragnslcr> No prob
[01:15] <tarin> ok got the lspci for ethernet
[01:16] <tarin> ethernet controller realtek semiconductor inc blah blah blah rev 10
[01:17] <zibrah3ed> tarin: Did you try the total shutdown then restart that dmcglone suggested?
[01:17] <tarin> yup
[01:19] <dmcglone> tarin whats the output of iconfig -a?
[01:19] <dmcglone> oops, I mean ifconfig -a
[01:21] <dmcglone> tarin are you on the same box that your having problems with?
[01:22] <snarkster> hi guys
[01:22] <maybeway36> hi
[01:22] <dmcglone> hello
[01:23] <tarin> no i am on my laptop right now
[01:23] <snarkster> Im trying to install j2re1.4 but it fails to preconfigure exiting with error status 10
[01:23] <snarkster> i dont know what that means as im new to kubuntu..
[01:23] <dmcglone> does ifconfig -a show you an IP?
[01:24] <dmcglone> snarkster are you trying to install the .tar file or are you using adept?
[01:24] <tarin> it gives me an ipv6 ip address
[01:25] <dmcglone> show me this line tarin.
[01:25] <tarin> i cant even ping the <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:26] <tarin> show you what line?
[01:26] <dmcglone> what does ifconfig -a say under eth0
[01:27] <tarin> you want all of it?
[01:27] <dmcglone> no just eth0
[01:27] <bazhang_> tarin: if you seriously want help, how about the exact model of that realtek card? if you just say blah, blah, then we might give advice like: oh do something like this blah blah, and then you'd have more troubles
[01:28] <tarin> sorry rtl-8139/8139c/8139c+
[01:28] <dmcglone> bazhang, I seriously doubt that has anything to do with it. I think his problem is he has misconfigured his connection.

[01:33] <tarin> brb
[01:34] <dmcglone> see that bazhag, he's not even getting an IP
[01:35] <dmcglone> the card is reconized, and he stated it worked on the last release, so I believe he hasn't configured it either at all or just wrong.
[01:35] <bazhang_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448 tarin
[01:36] <zibrah3ed> bazhang_: he has already tried that
[01:36] <bazhang_> tarin: seems you need to either to completely turn off your machine, unplug, and then remove the battery for 15 seconds--followed by a boot into Ubuntu/Kubuntu--booting from xp into ubuntu will mkae it unworkable again--problem with the xp drivers
[01:37] <bazhang_> err make
[01:38] <bazhang_> tarin: the only other option at this point seems to be to go into windows (assuming the step above failed) and uncheck the power down under the windows properties of this card
[01:38] <dmcglone> well bazhang isn't that basically what I suggested in the first place? he don't need to remove the battery! that will wipe his BIOS out!
[01:38] <dmcglone> just kidding
[01:39] <dmcglone> LMAO
[01:39] <bazhang_> this is a laptop--yes?
[01:39] <bazhang_> dmcglone: hehe
[01:39] <zibrah3ed> He said it was a home build so i assume not
[01:40] <bazhang_> are ethernet cards replaceable? :}
[01:40] <genii> Usually they are. Even in laptops
[01:40] <dmcglone> depends on what you replace them with (if you know what I mean)
[01:40] <bazhang_> is tarin even still around?
[01:41] <bazhang_> cheers genii!
[01:41] <dmcglone> he hasn't left the chat. he's probably over fideling with his desktop
[01:41] <genii> bazhang_: Hiya :)
[01:43] <funcrush> Printer server is windows 2000 in my office, my desktop is kubuntu. Can I use the printer?
[01:43] <dmcglone> funcrush, I don't see why not. Just setup print sharing
[01:44] <funcrush> dmcglone: well, is it not metter OS?
[01:45] <dmcglone> no, every OS will share printers. I share mine
[01:45] <dmcglone> use samba
[01:45] <funcrush> Can i share printer in different OS?
[01:45] <dmcglone> Yes.
[01:46] <funcrush> well... yup, I'll try
[01:46] <funcrush> thank you:)
[01:46] <dmcglone> it doesn't matter to samba what OS your running
[01:46] <funcrush> I mean, there is Windows 2000 on the printer server
[01:47] <dmcglone> that don't matter.
[01:47] <funcrush> well then, should I install samba?
[01:47] <dmcglone> if you use samba and set it up correctly it will work flawlessly
[01:47] <naelr> ok I still can't recomplie my kernel
[01:47] <naelr> any have any suggestions ... I ddon't understand what I am doing wrong
[01:47] <dmcglone> whats up naelr?
[01:48] <naelr> I have a newer laptop and with some kernels some things work and with others soem don't .. . I get erros when I run make menuconfig
[01:48] <dmcglone> what errors?
[01:48] <epimeteo> hi ppl
[01:49] <naelr> where is the pasterbin page?
[01:49] <naelr> !pasterbin
[01:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pasterbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:49] <naelr> !pastebin
[01:49] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[01:50] <naelr> here is my errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46790/
[01:50] <dmcglone> let me take a look
[01:51] <naelr> I followed thist page ...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[01:52] <Dooood> I have a new question.  Last night, after my initial install, my resolution looked fine.  I set the screensaver to on, and went to bed.  This morning, I got up, the screensaverhadn't com on, and the screen was blank, even though I told it no to turn off the monitor.  When I woke the machine up, the resolution was WAY low, and it is no longer  possible to increase ther resolution anymore.  The slider indicates it is on the
[01:52] <Dooood> highest level, even though the resolution is abysmal..
[01:52] <dmcglone> check first to see if you even have the directory /scripts/kconfig/lxdialog
[01:52] <naelr> dmcglone: yes I do
[01:53] <dmcglone> Dooood, you need to reconfigure your monitor. I had the same problem.
[01:53] <Dooood> ok, how?
[01:54] <Dooood> like I said, I can't increase the slider anymore.
[01:54] <Dariok> Is there some way to just reset kubuntu to default settings without a reinstall? drivers and everything?
[01:54] <tarin> actually had to run to the store real quick i said brb earlier
[01:54] <dmcglone> naelr, thats weird
[01:54] <Dariok> a quick, nifty konsole command?
[01:54] <dmcglone> Dooood, use the system settings
[01:55] <naelr> I get same errors on my kubuntu desktop
[01:55] <Dooood> ok, I'll look again, but it is already set to the highest, dmcglone
[01:56] <dmcglone> Dooood, you can't re-set your resolution until you change the monitor
[01:56] <dmcglone> Ok I'll walk you through it. here grab my hand ;-)
[01:57] <Dooood> heh, thanks
[01:57] <dmcglone> system settings -> monitor & display
[01:57] <Dooood> got it
[01:57] <dmcglone> click administrator mode button
[01:58] <Dooood> got it
[01:58] <dmcglone> enter password
[01:58] <Dooood> got it
[01:58] <dmcglone> now click "hardware" tab
[01:58] <Dooood> ok
[01:59] <dmcglone> now click "configure" beside the "monitor" and choose a monitor that best fits yours
[01:59] <kub^> hi, i have a small issue with opera not using the mplayer plugin properly, i just get a white box. I have mozplugger installed and mplayer, opera is looking at the correct libraries. anyone able to help ?
[02:00] <Dooood> can I click "detect" dmcglone?
[02:00] <dmcglone> kub type: about:plugins in your URL and see if your plugins are there
[02:00] <Dooood> or will that just give me the same settings I've got?
[02:01] <dmcglone> no Doood, pick a monitor, you can pick a generic one that will do 1024x768
[02:01] <Dooood> ok
[02:01] <kub^> dmcglone: they are correct
[02:01] <matttis> what happened to my kaffeine player ? It doesn't play anything... same with totem
[02:01] <dmcglone> have you tried different sites?
[02:02] <kub^> dmcglone: for example windows media player is pointing at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-wmp.so
[02:02] <kub^> dmcglone yes i have tried quicktime and windows media player sites with no luck, the sites work fine in firefox
[02:02] <dmcglone> windows media player? when did windows start making software for linux? LOL
[02:03] <kub^> windows media player plugin dmcglone :)
[02:04] <dmcglone> Sounds like an opera issue
[02:04] <tarin> ok when i go to sys services networking is not running
[02:04] <dmcglone> Dooood, anything yet?
[02:05] <tarin> when i try to start it it fails reading the /etc/network/interfaces
[02:05] <dmcglone> now you might be onto something tarin
[02:05] <dmcglone> show me that file
[02:07] <dmcglone> how did it go Doood?
[02:07] <dmcglone> did you restart your X server?
[02:07] <Dooood> not good, trying again
[02:08] <dmcglone> wait
[02:08] <dmcglone> did you restart your X server?
[02:08] <Dooood> apparently I chose the wrong refresh rate or something....
[02:08] <jpiccolo> anyone know of a ktorrent mirror for the source code?
[02:08] <dmcglone> you shouldn't need to specify a refresh rate
[02:09] <Dooood> there was 2 choices for a generic 1024X768, 60Hz, and 70Hz, I chose 70
[02:10] <Dooood> ok, going to restart x now
[02:10] <dmcglone> Ok
[02:11] <tarin> yay i fixed it i somehow had a duplicate inet eth0 inet dhcp
[02:12] <dmcglone> I figured you had it misconfigured
[02:12] <jpiccolo> ktorrent.org down for anyone else?
[02:12] <tarin> i dont know how it happened but man am i learning
[02:12] <bazhang_> tarin: glad to hear.
[02:12] <dmcglone> thank god you figured it out, I didn't want to sit here all night.
[02:12] <bazhang_> haha
[02:12] <dmcglone> I have a wife that has needs....LMAO
[02:13] <bazhang_> too much information
[02:13] <bazhang_> :}
[02:13] <dmcglone> it was either that or tell you to F*** off....LMAO
[02:13] <dmcglone> See I chose to be nice about it. :)
[02:14] <dmcglone> <~~~nice guy
[02:14] <dmcglone> LOL
[02:15] <dmcglone> looks like Dooood really misconfigured his monitor
[02:15] <jpiccolo> can you guys tell me if www.ktorrent.org is down of you also?
[02:16] <naelr> ok so why can't I complie me a new kernel
[02:16] <naelr> compile...
[02:16] <dmcglone> I'm not sure naelr.
[02:16] <naelr> this is pretty much a fresh install...
[02:17] <dmcglone> I wish I could say, but the error message doesn't give much.
[02:17] <jsn> is there a kubuntu forum ?? where ??
[02:17] <dmcglone> jsn http://www.ubuntu.com
[02:17] <NickPresta> jpiccolo, ktorrent isn't down, but they don't any files in their root directory, apparently. Perhaps they are updating or switching to a new domain. I would check back in a few hours.
[02:17] <naelr> I used to run pure debian and I never had this problem...
[02:17] <BluesKaj> yes jpiccolo , ktorrent.org is giving a page with Configuration Error etc
[02:18] <jsn> so its the same as the ubuntu forums ??
[02:18] <jsn> ubuntuforums.org ??
[02:18] <naelr> ok I will go ask in the ubuntu channel
[02:18] <dmcglone> jsn i'll be more specific http://ubuntuforums.org/
[02:18] <jpiccolo> ok thanks for geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetting back to me on that
[02:18] <bazhang_> jsn: kubuntu has their own forum--though the questions you have may be answered on ubuntuforums.org as well
[02:19] <jpiccolo> grr sorry bluetoottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttth keyboard:(
[02:19] <bazhang_> haha
[02:19] <jpiccolo> doh
[02:19] <dmcglone> LOL I can see
[02:19] <jsn> and where is the kubuntu forums located at ??
[02:19] <dmcglone> http://www.kubuntu.org
[02:20] <BluesKaj> jpiccolo, enuff!
[02:20] <jsn> thxs
[02:20] <dmcglone> click on the tab forums

[02:20] <bazhang_> I mean cmon! :}
[02:20] <dmcglone> I mean click on the "support" tab
[02:21] <jpiccolo> sorry i wasnt trying too, my computer is freezing because of k3b is erroring trying to make a iso
[02:21] <bazhang_> jpiccolo: what is the error?
[02:22] <dmcglone> Well I guess I've put in my days work here. Break time! :-)
[02:22] <bazhang_> hehe
[02:23] <jpiccolo> i dont know, its just locking up my computer for like 5 seconds at a time
[02:23] <jpiccolo> cant hardly type
[02:23] <bazhang_> jpiccolo: you tried running it from konsole? that would give better error info
[02:24] <jpiccolo> k3b is closeddddd
[02:25] <jpiccolo> but i cant eject the cd
[02:25] <chjunior> howto upgrade kubuntu from feisty to gutsy ?
[02:25] <Dooood> dmcglone: I went to log out
[02:27] <Dooood> oops
[02:27] <Dooood> didn't mean to press enter yet
[02:29] <Dooood> anyway, dmcglone, I went to log out so I could restart my X server, but after I logged out, I just had a flashing prompt up in my upper left hand corner.  I assume that isn't what I should see, correct?  When I pressed reset, it booted, but my resolution is still low.
[02:29] <bazhang_> !upgrade | chjunior
[02:29] <ubotu> chjunior: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:30] <dmcglone> Ok Dooood, what size monitor do you have?
[02:30] <chjunior> ubotu: but that teaches only how to upgrade using GUI, and on ubuntu... not on kubuntu
[02:30] <chjunior> bazhang_: but that teaches only how to upgrade using GUI, and on ubuntu... not on kubuntu
[02:30] <Dooood> 19", I think
[02:30] <dmcglone> OK lets go back to the control pannel's monitor settings
[02:31] <Dooood> ok
[02:31] <bazhang_> chjunior: you want to upgrade via cli?
[02:33] <dmcglone> Ok first lets check out your graphics card settings
[02:33] <dmcglone> click on the configure button beside the graphics card
[02:34] <Dooood> shite, now I'm borked.  I noticed when I went back that there was room to move the slider, and I did so.  Now I have better resolution, but wherever my mouse pointer goes the screen has trouuble redrawing., and all the text in this window has gone away.  I can on;y see what I'm typing....
[02:34] <Dooood> oh, there's the text!
[02:34] <Dooood> oops, now it's gone.
[02:34] <dmcglone> Ok restart your x server
[02:34] <chjunior> bazhang_: doesn't matter :) cli or gui...
[02:35] <kristjans> hey... does anybody know if i can place a list inside a list in kword?
[02:35] <dmcglone> Doooood, you know that restarting your x serverrrr doesn't mean just logging out?
[02:35] <bazhang_> chjunior: the steps for ubuntu will work with kubuntu gui or cli
[02:35] <dmcglone> you need to choose "restart x server" in the menu of the login screen
[02:35] <Dooood> I didn't get a logon screen
[02:36] <dmcglone> have you logged out?
[02:36] <chjunior> bazhang_: in kubuntu we don't have a "update-manager"
[02:37] <pierreth> how can I copy a protected dvd?
[02:37] <GerrySly> how do I start apache in kubuntu? I installed it using Adept manager
[02:37] <dmcglone> chjunior yes we do
[02:37] <Dooood> I logged out, but it got stuck at the flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner, so I had to reset
[02:37] <chjunior> dmcglone: do we? not here... what is the package name?
[02:37] <bazhang_> chjunior: ok, that's true. let me get the specific link for you--just a  moment..
[02:37] <master_> Just installed the new kubuntu.. how can i get updates?
[02:37] <dmcglone> that was before, but this is now that you've changed resolution. Did you check your graphics card?
[02:38] <chjunior> does 7.10 have compiz enabled as default?
[02:38] <master_> And how can I get my nvidia driver installed?
[02:38] <chjunior> bazhang_: ok :D
[02:39] <dmcglone> chjunior hang on let me think, i'm having a brain fart
[02:39] <chjunior> dmcglone: hehehe, no problem :D
[02:40] <bazhang_> http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu-upgrade/ chjunior with pictures!
[02:40] <dmcglone> is it update_manager?
[02:40] <rockets> Anybody know a good way to export a buddy list to import it to a new SN
[02:40] <rockets> AIM buddy list
[02:41] <dmcglone> Ah it's update-manager
[02:41] <chjunior> bazhang_: thanks! :D
[02:41] <bazhang_> chjunior: no worries :}
[02:41] <dmcglone> type that in konsole
[02:42] <dmcglone> or just type sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:42] <Dooood> yay!  ok dmcglone, I finally got a setting to work.....
[02:43] <chjunior> bazhang_: does 7.10 have compiz enabled as default?
[02:43] <dmcglone> chjunior, no
[02:43] <dmcglone> chjunior sudo apt-get install compiz
[02:44] <dmcglone> Cool Doood
[02:44] <chjunior> dmcglone: hummm
[02:44] <chjunior> dmcglone: but, ubuntu does, am I wrong? at least the livecd includes compiz as I could see last saturday...
[02:44] <dmcglone> oh and chjunior- apt-get install emerald
[02:45] <bazhang_> chjunior: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz
[02:45] <dmcglone> oh yeah almost forgot that bazhang :-)
[02:46] <master_> so.. nobody knows how to make my new install download/install security updates?
[02:46] <dmcglone> I don't know about ubuntu, this is a Kubuntu chat
[02:46] <dmcglone> LOL
[02:46] <master_> I am kubuntu..
[02:46] <dmcglone> master - update-managerrr
[02:46] <master_> Or--are you all just trying to compromise me right now?
[02:46] <dmcglone> update-manager that is
[02:46] <master_> ok.. cool
[02:48] <master_> dmcglone: don't seem to have any such program (trying from command line).. maybe it's not installed
[02:48] <dmcglone> don't forget to enable the security channel
[02:48] <syazdani> Hi room. I just installed kubuntu on my HP Pavillion DV6000, and I can't get the nvidia graphic card or the wireless working.
[02:48] <dmcglone> probably isn't
[02:48] <BluesKaj> master_, don't forget to update your sources.list
[02:49] <syazdani> any ideas where there is a howto to follow?
[02:49] <master_> dmcglone: where do i do all that?
[02:50] <dmcglone> master: sudo apt-get install update-manager
[02:52] <master_> dmcglone: that was the first thing I tried.. anyway.. i found it all in the gui... thanks..
[02:52] <master_> getting updates now
[02:53] <dmcglone> thats what we were looking for. we were looking for the update-manager gui. LOL
[02:53] <master_> I am hoping one of these will fix the messed up kde menu labels, too..
[02:53] <master_> they all say something like _: entries kde menu ......
[02:53] <dmcglone> how did your labels get messed up?
[02:54] <master_> dmcglone: installed like that.. actually, i tried installing on two other machines and the same thing happened..
[02:54] <master_> one was a virtual machine.. (vmware)
[02:54] <dmcglone> Wow. thats weird
[02:54] <syazdani> oh, with the _: entries problem, I updated kde completely and then restart kde, they went away for me.
[02:54] <master_> cool..
[02:55] <master_> then i will need to get my nvidia driver...
[02:55] <syazdani> ditto here.
[02:55] <dmcglone> Oh boy.
[02:55] <dmcglone> have fun with the nvidia
[02:55] <dmcglone> LOL
[02:55] <syazdani> master_: I'm guessing you are not living in US.
[02:55] <dmcglone> who me?
[02:55] <dmcglone> LOL
[02:55] <syazdani> the _entries problem seems to be for people who are not in US.
[02:56] <dmcglone> Oh now blame it on us english speaking people... LOL
[02:57] <syazdani> :)
[02:57] <syazdani> There apparently was something wrong with all the other locale files.
[02:58] <nikosapi> Does compiz crash when opening openoffice for anyone else here? This never used to happen in Feisty...
[02:59] <dmcglone> Well I can say, the past week I've been running compiz, it seems emerald crashes on me for no apearant reason
[02:59] <dmcglone> but not compiz
[03:03] <flaccid> US, yuk
[03:04] <nikosapi> dmcglone: ah, I guess you're right. compiz is still running...
[03:04] <nikosapi> so I'll try a different window decorator
[03:05] <dmcglone> :-)
[03:05] <dmcglone> glad I can help.

[03:08] <dmcglone> :-)
[03:08] <kub^> dmcglone what do i need to do for that webcam installation wise ?
[03:09] <dmcglone> Come on people, I'm doing so good today I can probably read your fortune.
[03:09] <nikosapi> dmcglone: sweet, the gtk-window-decorator seems to work, thanks
[03:09] <dmcglone> Nothing, just plug it in and choose some software
[03:09] <kub^> dont puff up his ego even more nikosapi :)
[03:09] <dmcglone> no problem nikosapi
[03:09] <dmcglone> LOL kub
[03:09] <Dooood> ok, dmcglone, read my fortune about my question above....
[03:09] <Dooood> ok, remembering I'm a n00b, where do I look for drivers for an Epson C66 printer, which I'll be accessing on one of the winXP machines on the network?
[03:10] <nikosapi> kub^: hehe
[03:10] <dmcglone> Doooood, was your printer detected?
[03:10] <Dooood> no
[03:10] <Dooood> figured I'd need drivers to get it to detect
[03:10] <dmcglone> have you installed the gimp printer drivers?
[03:11] <Dooood> um.
[03:11] <Dooood> no.
[03:11] <dmcglone> go for it. thats step one
[03:11] <Dooood> that's where the total n00b part comes in....
[03:11] <Dooood> so, a sudo thiny?
[03:11] <Dooood> thingy?
[03:11] <dmcglone> well the gimp print drivers will more than likely have your drivers you need
[03:12] <Dooood> aha
[03:12] <dmcglone> use adept
[03:12] <Dooood> and what do I type to get that again?  ~sudo somethingsomethingsomething?
[03:12] <dmcglone> I can't remember the name of the package. do a search for gimp-print
[03:13] <Dooood> ok
[03:14] <Dooood> installing now
[03:14] <dmcglone> ta-da
[03:15] <dmcglone> that should do it.
[03:15] <Dooood> koo
[03:16] <dmcglone> I'm on such a roll all while I got pink eye
[03:16] <Dooood> once done, do I need to restart or do something?  Do a little John Travolta dance?   It hasn't, am I looking in the wrong place?
[03:19] <Dooood> ...maybe I should have done the Travolta?
[03:19] <dmcglone> Woah, where did samba come in here at?
[03:19] <jalbert> hey can anybody recommend me a wireless card?
[03:19] <Dooood> where else do I look for a printer, except attached to that machine?
[03:20] <dmcglone> Dooood, you never specified a network printer in your question
[03:20] <dmcglone> LMAO
[03:20] <Dooood> I did
[03:20] <Dooood> ok, remembering I'm a n00b, where do I look for drivers for an Epson C66 printer, which I'll be accessing on one of the winXP machines on the network?
[03:20] <dmcglone> hang on, let me see your question again
[03:20] <Dooood> see?
[03:20] <syazdani> hmm, I can't even download the nvidia drivers.
[03:20] <syazdani> hmm.
[03:20] <dmcglone> OK gotcha
[03:21] <Dooood> whew.
[03:21] <dmcglone> LOL
[03:21] <Dooood> glad I covered my butt!
[03:21] <dmcglone> ok did you install the package?
[03:21] <Dooood> yes
[03:21] <Dooood> I didn't do the Travolta, tho....
[03:21] <dmcglone> ok see if your drivers are listed in the "printer" in system settings
[03:21] <Dooood> um, hang on
[03:23] <Dooood> what willit say if they are?  I have some references to printers there, including an "add" tab....
[03:24] <Dooood> ok, I'm trying to add the printer, I chose TCP, and it is scanning the network now.
[03:27] <Dooood> ....slowly scanning, that is.....
[03:28] <Dooood> can I just input the smb://l<machine name> in the "Printer address" box, dmcglone?
[03:28] <dmglonee> Im back Nooob
[03:28] <Dooood> ah
[03:29] <Dooood>  you missed it all then.
[03:29] <dmglonee> my wife unpluged the computer and tv
[03:29] <Dooood> let me re enter what you missed.
[03:29] <Dooood> what willit say if they are?  I have some references to printers there, including an "add" tab....
[03:29] <Dooood> ok, I'm trying to add the printer, I chose TCP, and it is scanning the network now.
[03:29] <Dooood> can I just input the smb://l<machine name> in the "Printer address" box, dmcglone?
[03:30] <dmglonee> OK wait a minute, is the printer on the other computer? or the one your one right now?
[03:30] <Dooood> the scan is going *very* slowly.
[03:30] <Dooood> other computer
[03:30] <dmglonee> Ah then you need to set up an smb printer
[03:30] <Dooood> aha
[03:30] <Dooood> ok
[03:30] <dmglonee> I thought you were trying to install a printer on your linux box
[03:31] <Pilot_> Anyone with OpenOffice knowledge, could you help me with a OO problem regarding paragraph breaks and the enter key: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3887871#post3887871
[03:31] <dmglonee> do you have samba running on the computer that the printer is hooked to?
[03:32] <Dooood> uh.  no.  I don't.
[03:33] <Dooood> I need samba on the XP machine, too?
[03:33] <Dooood> dang I hate being a n00b.
[03:33] <dmglonee> first you need to set up samba on your computer that the printer is hooked to, and then find the share name for the printer then set it up on your linux box
[03:34] <Dooood> hm.
[03:34] <Dragnslcr> You shouldn't need to install Samba on a Windows machine
[03:34] <dmglonee> you got a lot of work ahead of you being a noob and trying to set up a print server... LOL
[03:35] <Dooood> ok, so I need to go to the XP machine, and download a Windows version of Samba?  Where do I get that?
[03:35] <flaccid> windows comes with smb
[03:35] <Dooood> aha
[03:35] <flaccid> which is windows sharing
[03:35] <Dooood> dang I hate being a n00b.
[03:35] <flaccid> all good
[03:35] <dmglonee> true, but he's gotta set it up LOL
[03:35] <flaccid> printer is on xp machine?
[03:35] <flaccid> if so just right click on it and share it
[03:36] <dmglonee> Im pretty sure he said it was
[03:36] <Dooood> well, the printer can be seen by other winXP machines.....
[03:36] <Dooood> it is shared.
[03:36] <flaccid> then it can be seen by ubuntu as well
[03:36] <Dooood> I'll double check, though
[03:36] <dmglonee> well what is the "share name" for the printer?
[03:37] <kub^> dmglonee cant seem to find a cs330 for sale in the UK its rather antiquated ;) any more recommendations ?
[03:37] <flaccid> then just goto system settings | printers and add the printer. it has a share scanner thing in that gui as well..
[03:37] <Dooood> ok, I'll try again
[03:38] <dmglonee> kub did you look up "intel create and share"?
[03:38] <flaccid> it would be quite rare that the printer is not browseable..
[03:38] <kub^> no i will do that now tho
[03:39] <dmglonee> Ah my previous name finally was let go
[03:41] <dmglonee> I'll be back, I'm gonna go get in bed and get on my laptop.
[03:41] <GuHHH> does someone uses amavis + postfix + spamassassin? i need help. my spams are not getting tagged or any spam headers...
[03:41] <Dooood> sounds kinky.
[03:41] <dmglonee> LOL Doooood
[03:41] <flaccid> GuHHH: probably better to try #spamassassin
[03:41] <dmglonee> I'll be back on my laptop in a few minutes
[03:41] <Dooood> I've never tried to get ON my laptop.....
[03:42] <Dooood> my cat gets on my laptop.....
[03:42] <Dooood> but....
[03:43] <GuHHH> flaccid: not much help there
[03:44] <dmcglone> I'm back.
[03:45] <dmcglone> any luck while I was away? LOL
[03:45] <flaccid> GuHHH: elaborate
[03:46] <flaccid> oh sorry
[03:46] <GuHHH> ?
[03:46] <flaccid> i thought you were someone else
[03:46] <flaccid> yeah i don't think that anyone here would help with that
[03:46] <dmcglone> help with what, I missed the question
[03:47] <Dooood> hm.  Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[03:48] <dmcglone> why not replace XP with Kubuntu
[03:48] <kub^> dmcglone i cant find that webcam on any uk web retailers that i know of
[03:48] <Dooood> woah! one machine at a time!
[03:49] <dmcglone> doood only way to learn is to just jump in head first
[03:49] <dmcglone> :-)
[03:49] <Dooood> I can't change that machine, anyway, the wife has to have it for her business.    Your working machine won't.  End of story.
[03:50] <Dooood> I value my nuts, thank you.
[03:51] <Dooood> she'd take the nuts.....
[03:51] <crimsun> and nuts are very secondary to a working machine.
[03:51] <crimsun> unless you plan to farm yourself out, that is.
[03:51] <Dooood> no, I just like my nuts where they  are.
[03:51] <Dooood> ..and whole....
[03:51] <Dooood> ...and functional....
[03:51] <crimsun> not my concern; I only care for working *buntu machines :-)
[03:51] <dmcglone> sounds like crimsun knows what it means to have a good OS
[03:52] <Dooood> heehee
[03:52] <Dooood> let's leave my nuts out of the equation.
[03:52] <dmcglone> Someday Dooood will understand
[03:52] <dmcglone> LOL
[03:52] <dmcglone> Doood, another good thing about it is, you can get a fresh new one every 6 months
[03:53] <dmcglone> LMAO
[03:53] <Dooood> nuts?
[03:53] <dmcglone> no kubuntu system
[03:53] <dmcglone> LMAO
[03:53] <Dooood> ohhhhhh.....
[03:53] <Dooood> heheheh
[03:54] <Dooood> Well, let's just get the first one running smoothly, for now.  We can discuss me trading my nuts away later....
[03:54] <dmcglone> wish I could say the same for women..... HA! HA! <evil laughter>
[03:54] <Dooood> heh
[03:54] <Dooood> been there, done hat.....
[03:55] <Dooood> it's not all it's "cracked" up to be, as it were.
[03:55] <dmcglone> the trick is to convince your wife you need a break from your daily stresses of life.
[03:55] <flaccid> sorry was on phone
[03:55] <Dooood> (....sorry...)
[03:55] <Dooood> heh
[03:55] <flaccid> you get nt access denied ?
[03:55] <Dooood> yes
[03:55] <flaccid> windows is not sharing it publicly
[03:55] <Dooood> hm.
[03:55] <flaccid> like anon
[03:56] <flaccid> i've seen this many times when in fact it is shared properly
[03:56] <dmcglone> flaccid was you by any chance talking to microsoft tech support for Doood?
[03:56] <dmcglone> LOL
[03:56] <Dooood> ok, how do I force ananomus sharing?
[03:56] <Dooood> oops
[03:56] <flaccid> don't need, just talk from experience heh
[03:56] <Dooood> aninymous
[03:56] <flaccid> you call bill
[03:56] <Dooood> shite.
[03:56] <flaccid> um
[03:56] <Dooood> anonymous.
[03:56] <Dooood> whew.
[03:56] <flaccid> you see its the XP box returning that right
[03:56] <Dooood> yes
[03:57] <flaccid> but it doesn't return that with windows clients, right
[03:57] <flaccid> windows clients can access the print share right?
[03:57] <dmcglone> I think if Dooood doesn't get it fixed soon, his wife is gonna make him anonymous
[03:57] <Dooood> correct, although I haven't checked recently
[03:57] <Dooood> never has, tho
[03:57] <flaccid> yeah i've seen this before a lot. iirc many possible reasons, the problem being windows..
[03:57] <Dooood> hm
[03:57] <dmcglone> or he isn't using the correct share name
[03:58] <flaccid> can't say i have a solution, besides nagging people in #samba and ##windows
[03:58] <Dooood> ok, well, I can wait on this until I get more familiar.
[03:58] <dmcglone> how long you been married Dooood?
[03:58] <Dooood> well, I can see the XP puter, but when I scan I get the NT error
[03:59] <Dooood> well, technically, we're not really married, but effectively 15 years.
[03:59] <flaccid> do you get the same error with smbclient ?
[03:59] <dmcglone> Ah cool, same here
[03:59] <Dooood> not on all folders, no.
[03:59] <flaccid> on the printer share
[03:59] <Dooood> yes
[03:59] <flaccid> as in smbclient -N //computer/printershare
[03:59] <flaccid> with that command?
[03:59] <Dooood> uh...
[04:00] <dmcglone> LOL he's now totally lost
[04:00] <Dooood> (n00b, remember)
[04:00] <flaccid> you can issue that command to test it in konsole
[04:00] <Dooood> where would I input that command?
[04:00] <Dooood> ok
[04:00] <flaccid> also i believe in the printers add thing, you can select to use 2 dif usernames for anon
[04:00] <flaccid> you might need to select the other one
[04:02] <dmcglone> looks like flaccid has this one under control.  It's my bed time. gotta get up bright and early.
[04:03] <dmcglone> I'll stop back in tomorrow.
[04:03] <flaccid> nothing is under control with m$ :p
[04:03] <dmcglone> LOL true
[04:04] <dmcglone> anyway, I'm off to bed. Have a good one and i'll catch you all tomorrow

[04:06] <flaccid> or host
[04:06] <flaccid> what does smbclient -NL //lynx return ?
[04:06] <flaccid> please keep in mind !pastebin
[04:06] <Dooood> well, the share name is exactly what windows says
[04:06] <flaccid> it cannot have spaces...

[04:23] <flaccid> !java | snarkster
[04:23] <ubotu> snarkster: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[04:23] <vers> oohhh yeah....whats kdfx?
[04:24] <vers> kbfx?
[04:24] <flaccid> its a dock alternative
[04:24] <ardchoille> !info kbfx
[04:24] <ubotu> kbfx: an alternative to K-Menu for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.1-1 (gutsy), package size 1718 kB, installed size 4108 kB
[04:24] <Radi01> Plus I dont have 2500 protection icons that out do the system icons.
[04:25] <\dEAD> not sure what happened but was a power failure this morning. when sys came back up a bit ago, i didnt have to hit alt+f2 and res is 1680x1050. previously best i could do was 1400x900 or so
[04:25] <ardchoille> flaccid: I think you're thinking of kxdocker?
[04:25] <flaccid> i guess so
[04:25] <flaccid> kbfx is the menu only?
[04:25] <htmldotcom> Radi01 wht does your desktop look like, just lokking for inspiration :p
[04:25] <ardchoille> flaccid: Yeah, and it's pretty cool menu replacement
[04:25] <Radi01> Forrest.
[04:25] <flaccid> coolio
[04:25] <\dEAD> got a screen pic of it?
[04:26] <ardchoille> http://www.kbfx.org/staticpages/index.php?page=20060224124413545
[04:26] <Radi01> Got it on kde-look.org
[04:26] <ardchoille> It's in the repos
[04:27] <\dEAD> hey, know if i can swap out k's kicker for a mac lookalike?
[04:27] <draik> What is a good P2P client? gtk-gnutella isn't working. Frostwire isn't available in Gutsy. What else is there?
[04:27] <htmldotcom> dude install dreamlinux if u want THAT  *shudders*
[04:27] <vers> thats what im talkin about
[04:27] <\dEAD> i dont like dl
[04:28] <mot_> what is a good command-line based utility for detecting attempted network probes/scans?
[04:28] <htmldotcom> draik: bittorrent?
[04:28] <mot_> as in, something i could run on a box that serves as a firewall that would display attempted intrusions into my network
[04:28] <draik> htmldotcom: For getting songs?
[04:28] <htmldotcom> yes.
[04:28] <draik> htmldotcom: I just want songs.  According to the wesite you suggested it seems to suggest iced-tea
[04:29] <flaccid> tricky: probably because its craaap. i have issues with it all the time myself, but yeah i don't actually know why...
[04:29] <htmldotcom> draik
[04:29] <draik> htmldotcom: I know :) But I want just single songs. I use *.torrents for albums and discographys
[04:29] <Airforce55555> how do you change the document to portrait style in openoffice?
[04:30] <tricky> flacid: thx ..i get same issue with xine plugin
[04:30] <\dEAD> draik, see if your isp has a usenet news server .. its all there, all free
[04:30] <draik> \dEAD: Highly unlikely
[04:31] <htmldotcom> draik oh then why dont you just download the albums torrent, then uncheck the stuff you dont want
[04:31] <U238Willy> love kubuntu.. but I'm thinking of trying a minimal window manager to squeeze more juice out of this box, and suggestions for one? that will mesh well with kubuntu?
[04:31] <Dooood> agreed
[04:31] <\dEAD> most isp's have em. just not much retention or completion%. still better than 3 days waiting for a 10mb torrent :p
[04:31] <flaccid> or buy the track legally
[04:31] <Dooood> eek!
[04:31] <flaccid> U238Willy: fluxbox
[04:31] <htmldotcom> u238willy fluxbox or blackbox
[04:31] <U238Willy> ok
[04:31] <U238Willy> i hear fluxbox alot
[04:32] <U238Willy> thanks
[04:32] <htmldotcom> look at the wikipedias, see what you like
[04:32] <Dooood> draik, the only yime you can't get single songs using a torrent is if they are rared or zipped
[04:32] <htmldotcom> exactly
[04:32] <Dooood> otherwise, just pick and choose.
[04:32] <htmldotcom> yepp
[04:32] <Dooood> personally, I prefer whole albums.
[04:33] <htmldotcom> me too
[04:33] <htmldotcom> i had problemswith ktorrent
[04:33] <draik> htmldotcom: I just want one song. The DSL here "vacuums" big time. My torrents are downloaded at around 20-40kB/s.
[04:33] <snarkster> on kubuntu can I install sun-java6-jdk?
[04:33] <draik> snarkster: Sure. I don't see why not
[04:34] <htmldotcom> draik:use encryption?
[04:34] <Dooood> ok, enough banging my head into the kubuntu machine.  got some maintenance on my laptop to perform anywa, might as well bang the head on the windows machine....
[04:34] <snarkster> so just apt-get install sun-java6.jdk?
[04:35] <Dooood> draik, you can GET just one song, even if the torrent is the entire album.
[04:35] <draik> htmldotcom: I have the port forwarding setup, I have everything as it should be on the modem/router and my settings.
[04:35] <draik> Dooood: downloads via torrents are an eternity
[04:35] <Dooood> use encryption in your client, and just select the one song in the torrent to download.
[04:35] <htmldotcom> exactly
[04:35] <Dooood> force encryption
[04:35] <Dooood> it will help.
[04:35] <draik> snarkster: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[04:36] <snarkster> awesome thank you
[04:36] <Dooood> and besides, one song does not take an eternity, even at 30K
[04:36] <htmldotcom> and dont use torrentswith only one seed :D
[04:36] <draik> DSL dies just as a phone calls enters :(
[04:36] <Dooood> ...unless you have less patience than a terrier.
[04:36] <Dooood> then it will pick back up....
[04:36] <flaccid> i hate it when you have dsl like that. many possibles reasons...
[04:37] <Dooood> just have patience.
[04:37] <Dooood> Or, go buy the CD.
[04:37] <draik> 1.3MB download as max. Cable was 5MB. :'(
[04:37] <htmldotcom> get cable then
[04:37] <draik> htmldotcom: I'm not the account holder. If I was, DSL would have never happened here.
[04:37] <htmldotcom> who is
[04:38] <Dooood> heck, I get FLAC albums over FTP, at 5.5kB/sec, nd it doesn';t take more than overnight
[04:38] <Dooood> patience
[04:38] <Dooood> simple.
[04:38] <htmldotcom> i get movie trilogies overnightthrouh torrents.
[04:38] <htmldotcom> its great
[04:38] <Radi01> If the torrent does not exceed 50k I cancel.
[04:38] <Dooood> your connection is better than mine, htmldotcom
[04:39] <snarkster> this is nice.. having real sun java..
[04:39] <snarkster> brb
[04:39] <Dooood> I can wait
[04:39] <htmldotcom> yess dooood lol
[04:39] <Dooood> patience.
[04:39] <Dooood> ok, back to the windows maintenance
[04:40] <Radi01> oi
[04:40] <htmldotcom> ugh
[04:40] <htmldotcom> gnight-
[04:40] <Radi01> vista is now adjar.
[04:42] <flaccid> windows maint. = throw out window :p
[04:42] <Radi01> ya
[04:42] <Radi01> 1-800-dask bill
[04:43] <Radi01> ask
[04:43] <Radi01> I cant believe the money I threw away on windows.
[04:43] <flaccid> hehe
[04:44] <Radi01> I actually got 2kpro working quite well when I stumbled onto linux.

[05:11] <eljefe__> thanks!
[05:18] <Dooood> ok, quick question, if I'm on my winXP lappy, and I want to browse the kubuntu machine, it asks for a username and password, what the heck do I type in there?
[05:20] <Dooood> anyone?  Bueller?
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Dooood,   you enabled the home shares for samba?
[05:23] <Dr_willis> also you will need to make a samba  password for the users 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'
[05:23] <lockd> anyone know when the big kinks in khtml are going to get worked out?
[05:23] <nightdragon> hello
[05:23] <Dooood> um, how do I do that, Dr_willis?
[05:23] <nightdragon> quick question: why should i use kubuntu
[05:23] <nightdragon> like, over ubuntu
[05:23] <Dr_willis> !samba
[05:23] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:23] <lockd> nightdragon: ubuntu is kubuntu
[05:24] <nightdragon> but with a KDE interface
[05:24] <Dooood> ok
[05:24] <Dr_willis> nightdragon,  install kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop and have both...
[05:24] <nightdragon> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> yes. :) #1 Kubuntu Faq.
[05:25] <lockd> is there a reason to use aptitude instead of apt-get?
[05:25] <lockd> or are they by and large the same?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> lockd,  i hear it can make uninstalling stuff easier..
[05:25] <Dr_willis> but ive had... issues with aptitude
[05:25] <nightdragon> ...question 2.... is KDE4 going to be bitchin?
[05:25] <lockd> i've only used aptitude
[05:26] <lockd> nightdragon: I haven't gotten it to work properly
[05:26] <Dr_willis> I had aptitude decide to remove 300 packages once.. then reinstalled them...
[05:26] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:26] <lockd> ouch
[05:26] <Dr_willis> Still not sure why it wanted to remove them.
[05:26] <lockd> removal is fine, purging the cache is not
[05:27] <Dr_willis> It removed, then reinstalled  when i installed the next item on my list. Heh.
[05:27] <Dr_willis> dident hurt anything., just took a lot of time.
[05:27] <lockd> well, if they weren't in cache it would have, at least for me with my bad conn
[05:28] <lockd> would have taken a decade, after which i would have just reinstalled distro
[05:28] <lockd> or apt-cd
[05:44] <surgy> !beryl
[05:44] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[05:45] <Dooood> ok, Dr_willis, I believe I succeeded in sharing my home folder, but I'm still being asked for a username/password from the lappy
[05:47] <slav3_kitten> quick question
[05:47] <Dooood> why is there air?
[05:47] <slav3_kitten> using dapper install, trying to install fife, scons keeps saying it cant find my python2.4
[05:48] <Dooood> was that quick enough?
[05:48] <slav3_kitten> python2.4-dev is installed and upto date
[05:48] <slav3_kitten> i cant find a python-config anyware on my system
[05:48] <slav3_kitten> and pkg-config says python2.4 is not there
[05:49] <unix_infidel> it's been a while since i've used ubuntu but there's no real different between ubuntu server + kde and kubuntu right?
[05:49] <slav3_kitten> none i'm awaare of
[05:49] <Dooood> hm, sounds like you need someone who knows something.  That leaves me out.....
[05:49] <slav3_kitten> i just need the quick answer
[05:50] <slav3_kitten> because well i'm going in for surgery in 6 hours. an i'm guna be toasted on pain meds after that for about a week. so i best not screw with things while loopy
[05:50] <Dr_willis> Dooood,  also you will need to make a samba  password for the users 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'
[05:50] <Dooood> aha
[05:50] <lockd> ow, surgery
[05:50] <Dr_willis> or make a public share. :)
[05:50] <Dr_willis> but i perfer each user staying in their own place.
[05:51] <Dooood> I thought I made a public share....
[05:51] <Dooood> dang.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> I would guess ya made it wrong then.
[05:51] <Dooood> yeah.
[05:51]  * Dooood sighs
[05:51] <slav3_kitten> emergency tonsilectomy and adnoidectomy. on the plus side i got 60 tabs of tramadol, and 90 tabs of hydrocodon perscribed for the pain
[05:51] <Dooood> ok, a quest for tomorrow, then.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> The 'using samba book' is available in the 'samba-doc' package. It is WELL worth reading some time.
[05:51] <Dooood> My brain is tired again.
[05:51] <surgy> how do you install ubuntu without a windows manager?
[05:52] <Dr_willis> surgy,  with out X - ya can use the server install
[05:52] <syazdani> Yeah! I'm running kde in 1280x800!
[05:52] <surgy> Dr_willis: im wanting to install on a P2, so all the pretty stuff has to go, ALL of it.
[05:52] <Dr_willis> surgy, ive ran Ubuntu on a Pent 1 100.
[05:52] <syazdani> Now does anybody know how to make the broadcam wireless cards to work in gutsy?
[05:53] <surgy> Dr_willis: nice, was it fast?
[05:53] <Dr_willis> Use a real real real light window manager. :) like wm2/fluxbox/icewm/matchbox
[05:53] <slav3_kitten> well i'm thinking of getting rid of kubuntu an going with a lil leaner xubuntu after i'm feeling better
[05:53] <Dr_willis> surgy,  it was useable. :)
[05:53] <Dr_willis> all it ran was X a little wm. and a few xterms
[05:53] <slav3_kitten> if you want fast on a really low spec system go with slackware an use fluxbox
[05:53] <hydrogen> or use fluxbuntu..
[05:54] <surgy> Dr_willis: in your opinion is it better to run dosbox, or install dos 6.0 in a virtual box? for playing old games
[05:54] <hydrogen> or any other distro
[05:54] <Dr_willis> I belive wmx, wm2, and jwm are lighter. :)
[05:54] <hydrogen> the distro under it doesn't matter
[05:54] <Dr_willis> surgy,  dosbox does GREAT for old dos games
[05:54] <Dr_willis> surgy,  and its a lot less hassle
[05:54] <surgy> Dr_willis: i have both, and the performance seams the same
[05:55] <Dr_willis> surgy,  i set up scripts/configs in each dos game dir. for specific settings, and made it wasy for me to just launch warlords, or whatever from the command line. :)
[05:55] <surgy> is there a mother board monitoring software suite available to kubuntu?
[05:55] <Dr_willis> surgy,  given how much power   pc's have th4ese days.. :)  Problem can be getting dos workign with the new hardware...
[05:56] <Dooood> Dr_willis: Failed to modify password entry for user <username>
[05:56] <surgy> Dr_willis: i was playing duke3d last night at over 300fps lol
[05:56] <Dr_willis> Dooood, 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' You did use the proper user name? and used sudo.
[05:57] <Dr_willis> surgy,  heh. I loaded that up the other day.. and just couldent stand to play it.
[05:57] <Dooood> I pasted that into the konsole, with the laptop's name
[05:57] <surgy> lol
[05:57] <surgy> actually im fixing to give starcraft a round right now
[05:57] <surgy> wanna join me?
[05:57] <Dr_willis> Dooood,  WHAT exactly was the command line you used?
[05:57] <Dr_willis> surgy,  i never could stand those games :) heh heh.. just fast click fests it always seemed to be.
[05:58] <slav3_kitten> i mean my 166mhz toughbook i beat around at work runs slackware with fluxbox really well. even runs openoffice fairly ok
[05:58] <surgy> Dr_willis: lol okay, missing out though, laterz
[05:58] <Dooood> I used:  ~$ sudo smbpasswd -a Kendall-Laptop
[05:58] <Dr_willis> Dooood,  your USER name is 'Kendall-laptop' ? what an odd user name.,
[05:58] <Dooood> ah
[05:58] <Dr_willis> sure its not just 'kdndall' ?
[05:59] <Dooood> ok, gotcha
[05:59] <Dr_willis> :P
[05:59] <Dr_willis> This is when knowing  the FUNdaMENTALS :) comes in so handy. heh
[05:59] <Dr_willis> 'whoami' shows the users name i think :)
[05:59] <Dr_willis> willis@MythBox:~(2650.327 Mb)$ whoami
[05:59] <Dr_willis> willis
[05:59] <Dr_willis> :)

[06:00] <Dooood> woohoo! thanks, Dr_willis
[06:00] <slav3_kitten> my bash promt shows remaining battery :P
[06:00] <Dr_willis> Mine shows the Amount of files in the current dir. :)
[06:01] <Dr_willis> sort of bogs down the prompt when im in a HUGE dir however.
[06:02] <slav3_kitten> lol
[06:03] <slav3_kitten> i spend alot of time in xterm so i figured battery was an important thing to keep an eye on
[06:20] <slav3_kitten> so yea no one has any idea on why scons cant find my python2.4 libs under dapper?
[06:27] <DreadKnight> is there some meta package in order to upgrade to kde4?
[06:28] <DreadKnight> i updated kubuntu to haron, but i also want to update to kde4.. i can't manage to do so... noob.. :D
[06:29] <posingaspopular> DreadKnight: you need to build from SVN iirc
[06:29] <ardchoille> DreadKnight: Wow, an aplha OS and a beta DE, you are either really smart or a glutton for punichment, lol
[06:29] <ardchoille> *punishment
[06:29] <DreadKnight> i have the kde4 packages in adept.. marking them by hand for installation.. :\
[06:30] <DreadKnight> heh :D
[06:30] <DreadKnight> i probably suffer from the "quiet syndrome" as others blogged about it..
[06:40] <slav3_kitten> holy crap i officially need a new battery kitten@kitten-laptop:/proc/acpi/battery/BATA$ cat info
[06:40] <slav3_kitten> present:                 yes

[06:45] <titanix88> hello
[06:46] <LimCore> slav3_kitten: hah
[06:47] <slav3_kitten> it pisses me off. its a expensive battery
[06:47] <slav3_kitten> 150 bucks for a rebuilt battery pack
[06:47] <slav3_kitten> damn toughbooks
[06:52] <master_> anyone know of any open dns servers i could use?
[06:54] <DreadKnight> master_: check the ununtu magazine.. the latest issue.. the article about installing a ssh server
[06:54] <DreadKnight> ubuntu*
[06:54] <DreadKnight> full circle
[06:55] <master_> DreadKnight: uhm.. an online magazine?  well.. being as I don't have DNS, I cannot get any web page
[06:55] <DreadKnight> it's pdf format

[07:32] <jalbert> I'm running Feisty

[07:34] <ardchoille> !webmin
[07:34] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[07:34] <ardchoille> maduser: ^^

[08:14] <fay_elf> Anyone have a clue if a celly bk3 bluetooth dongle is supported?
[08:18] <Selanit> Hiya, people.  Question: Konqueror is currently set as the #2 web browser in my application preference order for HTML documents, after Firefox.  In general, this is fine.  But sometimes I want to look at a web page in Konqueror, and when I do I can't click any links because it offers to open them in Firefox.
[08:18] <Selanit> How do I convince Konqueror that it's okay to open HTML documents when i'm using it as a web browser?
[08:21] <sebastian^> good morning folks :)
[08:23] <whabo> help i need to create my own custum boot screen can any1 help me???? PLZ
[08:24] <fay_elf> Yes.
[08:24] <whabo> hello?
[08:24] <whabo> fay i went to boot options in control center
[08:24] <whabo> and downloaded the file to customize the boot screen
[08:25] <whabo> i created my own .. butr when i save it .. it doesnt show up in the menu
[08:25] <Selanit> Okay, this is bugging me: http://atuan.com/file_association_error.png
[08:25] <whabo> can any1 plz help me
[08:25] <fay_elf> Go to /usr/share/doc/grub/readme.debian.gz
[08:26] <Selanit> I'd like to be able to use Konqueror as a web browser occasionally, even though I prefer Firefox as my default.  But when Firefox is the default web browser, clicking links in Konqueror brings up that dialog.
[08:26] <fay_elf> A manual setup described there is quite easy
[08:26] <whabo> fay_elf thx ill try it
[08:27] <Selanit> This is a side effect of making konqueor do double-duty as a web browser and a file manager, which was never a good idea if you ask me.
[08:27] <Selanit> *konqueror
[08:28] <emilsedgh> Selanit: but if you ask me, Konqueror Rocks! noone forces you to use it as both fileman and web browser
[08:28] <sigma_> whats a good partioning tool for kde? besides Gpart - that has too many gnome dep's for me to handle
[08:28] <flaccid> !info qtparted
[08:28] <ubotu> qtparted: A parted frontend using QT. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.5-2ubuntu12 (gutsy), package size 206 kB, installed size 720 kB
[08:29] <fay_elf> Just remember that you need sudo to copy your gzipped file to /boot/grub, and that you can check out your root path from /boot/grub/menu.lst, which you also need to edit (using sudo)
[08:29] <Selanit> emilsedgh:  The point is that it's unusable as a web browser if I have also set Firefox as my default.
[08:29] <emilsedgh> Selanit: Konqueror is the Default Web Browser of me, and many others.
[08:30] <sigma_> flaccid: can that format new partitions as well?
[08:30] <emilsedgh> Selanit: i think the default web browser is just a habit...try konqueror for a week and you cannot get back to firefox
[08:30] <Selanit> emilsedgh: No thank you; I want my Firebug, Web Developer's Toolbar, and many other extensions which simply aren't available for Konqueror.
[08:31] <flaccid> sigma_: yes
[08:31] <Selanit> I would like to be able to TEST my web pages in Konqueror, for the benefit of people who prefer it.  But I'd rather not have it as my default.  And that doesn't appear to be possible at the moment.
[08:31] <emilsedgh> Selanit: yes, im a web developer too and the only thing that i miss are web dev toolbar and firebug.i know many people who need these tools and they love to switch to konqueror but they cant because of these tools
[08:32] <fay_elf> Did you who asked about grub boot image get the idea?
[08:34] <sigma_> flaccid: thanks just downloaded it - looks great and has all da features i need
[08:34] <flaccid> wicked
[08:35] <sigma_> has anyone played vdrift on kubuntu here?
[08:36] <flaccid> !find vdrift
[08:37] <ubotu> Package/file vdrift does not exist in gutsy
[08:38] <sigma_> flaccid: ya i know its not in the repo's for some odd reason
[08:40] <sigma_> heres a question - i uninstalled strigi desktop search by mistake, how do i install it again without re-downloading it? can i get it from the gutsy cd somehow?
[08:41] <flaccid> their wiki is not good
[08:41] <flaccid> !apt-cd
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <flaccid> yeah change your sources to cd
[08:43] <sigma_> i did that but what next?
[08:45] <flaccid> !info strigi
[08:45] <ubotu> Package strigi does not exist in gutsy
[08:45] <flaccid> one sec
[08:45] <flaccid> !find strigi
[08:45] <ubotu> Found: libstrigihtmlgui-dev, libstrigihtmlgui0, libstrigiqtdbusclient-dev, libstrigiqtdbusclient0, strigi-applet (and 5 others)
[08:45] <flaccid> !info strigi-applet
[08:45] <ubotu> strigi-applet: KDE applet for Strigi Desktop Search. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.6-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 103 kB, installed size 416 kB
[08:45] <flaccid> install that and its deps should be the daemon i would assume
[08:48] <sigma_> ok seem to have it kinda working - i use firefox as my default browser whenever i try search in strigi a box pops up asking if i want to open the file in firefox, how do i stop this?
[08:49] <flaccid> not sure, i don't use it sorry
[09:00] <boguh> is there ubuntu style (colors, background etc) for kubuntu?
[09:00] <onyx> when trying to boot gutsy on my laptop about the farthest it will go is loading hardware devices? i dont know what to do?
[09:00] <Myrth[home]> hi, apt-get -f install gives errors, one of them is: "trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/apps/phonon-xine.png', which is also in package kde4base-data" - how can i fix apt registry?
[09:01] <stdin> !brokenkde4 | Myrth[home]
[09:01] <ubotu> Myrth[home]: If you're trying to install KDE4 RC1 but getting errors about dependencies or files being overwritten, make sure you remove ALL of the KDE4 beta packages first. Try this in a !terminal: « sudo apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg -l | egrep '(KDE 4|KDE PIM 4|-kde4)' |cut -d ' ' -f 3) kdebase-workspace kdebase-runtime »
[09:01] <Myrth[home]> thank you! :)
[09:01] <Myrth[home]> ouch didn't work :(
[09:02] <stdin> Myrth[home]: add other broken packages to the command
[09:02] <Myrth[home]> the ones that go after Depends: or before?
[09:02] <stdin> before
[09:03] <Myrth[home]> cool that worked
[09:03] <Myrth[home]> so, no kde4?
[09:03] <stdin> you can install it now, that cleaned the install
[09:04] <stdin> just follow the instructions on the kubuntu.org announcement and you can install it

[09:58] <meduxa> hi all, I have feisty fawn in a computer. I want to install krecordmydesktop or any similar app but it is not included in universe or multiverse repository
[09:59] <Jucato> meduxa: yeah. krecordmydesktop was only packaged for Gutsy (current stable release)
[09:59] <meduxa> does anybody knows where can I install it from (if it is packed for ubuntu?
[09:59] <Jucato> I'm not sure if feisty-backports has it
[09:59] <meduxa> humm I'll try, thanks
[09:59] <Jucato> !info krecordmydesktop feisty-backports
[09:59] <ubotu> Package krecordmydesktop does not exist in feisty-backports
[09:59] <Jucato> nope, only in gutsy
[10:00] <meduxa> is there any tech problem that causes that or is only a matter of manpower
[10:00] <meduxa> ?
[10:01] <Jucato> I don't know :)
[10:01] <Jucato> meduxa: there might be some technical problems, like krecordmydesktop requiring newer version of libraries or packages that could cause some breakage in feisty
[10:01] <Jucato> maybe... not sure
[10:02] <meduxa> ok, lets see if I find somebody that takes a look at that, thanks
[10:03] <Jucato> meduxa: #ubuntu-motu
[10:03] <fdoving> it probably only needs a recompile in feisty.
[10:03] <Jucato> oh there! someone who knows :)
[10:03]  * Jucato whistles innocently
[10:04] <fdoving> i don't know, i'm guessing :)
[10:04] <Jucato> :D
[10:05] <meduxa> ok
[10:07] <Myrth[home]> hm... dpkg: error processing kdm-kde4 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[10:08] <fdoving>  /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm-kde4.postinst failed.
[10:08] <fdoving> you can run: sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm-kde4.potinst
[10:08] <fdoving> to see what fails.
[10:08] <fdoving> that is kdm-kde4.postinst
[10:10] <Stevethepirate> y0y0y0, sorry to sound n00b but http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php confused me.
[10:10] <Stevethepirate> Like, could some1 explain it to me in laymans terms?
[10:11] <Stevethepirate> I don't mind private
[10:11] <Myrth[home]> fdoving: thanks, this ran without problem
[10:12] <Myrth[home]> fdoving: but apt-get -f install gives same error
[10:12] <fdoving> Myrth[home]: then the 'sh -ex' thing proibably failed silently too. exited with error status 1.
[10:13] <Myrth[home]> fdoving: last line was sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm-kde4.potinst
[10:13] <fdoving> Myrth[home]: is that the rc1 packages?
[10:13] <Myrth[home]> fdoving: last line was + exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend ./kdm-kde4.postinst
[10:13] <Myrth[home]> yes
[10:17] <fdoving> Myrth[home]: you can cheat. you can add 'exit 0' directly after "set -e" in the postinst script.
[10:18] <Myrth[home]> you mean this script is not necessary?
[10:18] <fdoving> well.. it can be nice, but it's not needed.
[10:19] <fdoving> it will ask you which displaymanager you want as default, but i guess you don't want kdm4 as your default anyway.
[10:19] <Myrth[home]> thanks
[10:19] <Myrth[home]> fdoving: i don't? :) cuz i chose
[10:19] <Myrth[home]> i guess will go back to gdm
[10:20] <fdoving> if you want it, then use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' you can select kdm or others from there too.
[10:21] <Myrth[home]> why i don't want kdm-kde4?
[10:21] <Myrth[home]> is it badly broken?
[10:21] <fdoving> Myrth[home]: no idea. might be shiny and stable. i don't know.

[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: Steve the pirate is a character in Dodgeball starring Vince Vaugn
[10:35] <Stevethepirate> Yes.
[10:35] <Stevethepirate> And?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: just noticing your handle, thats all, jeez
[10:36] <Stevethepirate> :P
[10:36] <Stevethepirate> luls.
[10:36] <Stevethepirate> last time someone spammed my nick
[10:36] <Stevethepirate> I pm'ed an admin
[10:37] <Stevethepirate> and showed fake logs
[10:37] <Stevethepirate> of him spamming me with child pr0n sites
[10:37] <Stevethepirate> was luls.
[10:37] <Myrth[home]> hm... i didn't really understand kde4..
[10:37] <Stevethepirate> Myrth[home]: huhs?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> Myrth[home]: in what way?
[10:37] <Myrth[home]> just installed tried running it
[10:37] <Myrth[home]> is that interface a finished thing?
[10:38] <trpr> no :p
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Myrth[home]: its official release is the 11th or 12th December
[10:38] <Myrth[home]> mm.. isn't release candidate between beta and stable?
[10:38] <Jucato> nope
[10:38] <Jucato> ActionParsnip: moved to January
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Jucato: oh man :(
[10:38] <Jucato> Myrth[home]: yeah, but there's RC1 and RC2 coming soon
[10:38] <_dac_> what does :p mean ?
[10:39] <Jucato> sticking your tongue out
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> _dac_: turn your head to the left
[10:39] <Jucato> O.o
[10:39] <trpr> ...
[10:39] <Myrth[home]> i mean huge applets - is that a nod towards vista or gnome?
[10:39] <Jucato> huh?
[10:39] <_dac_> still don't know...
[10:39] <Jucato> huge applets?
[10:40] <Myrth[home]> well first thing i see is half a screen battery meter
[10:40] <Jucato> _dac_: sticking your tongue out at a person, as a form of defiance or joke
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> _dac_: the ':' are eyes and the 'P' is a sticky out tongue
[10:40] <Jucato> Myrth[home]: you haven't heard of karamba/superkaramba have you?
[10:40] <Myrth[home]> nope
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> _dac_: put em together to get :P its a bit like :D or :)
[10:40] <_dac_> ok..
[10:40] <Jucato> Myrth[home]: they have been around longer than Vista
[10:41] <trpr> _dac_: have you been living under a rock or what ;)
[10:41] <Jucato> desktop applets are nothing new
[10:41] <trpr> fyi, that's a wink
[10:41] <Myrth[home]> then i tried adding more applets
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> They are new to windos users
[10:41] <Myrth[home]> and they just got stretched out and stuck in tray
[10:41] <_dac_> yes,perhaps I'm a 61 year old man
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> mind you so is tabbed web browsing
[10:42] <Myrth[home]> and no right click, etc
[10:42] <Jucato> Myrth[home]: if you're using the rc1 packages... that's quite old and not updated
[10:42] <Jucato> a lot of fixes have been made since then
[10:42] <Stevethepirate> _dac_: perhaps ur a 14 year old delinquint
[10:42] <Stevethepirate> :P
[10:42] <Myrth[home]> that's the latest update, followed by last blog in kubuntu.org
[10:43] <Myrth[home]> upgraded just now
[10:43] <_dac_> born i 1946...
[10:43] <Jucato> Myrth[home]: no. the *latest* update is from SVN
[10:43] <Myrth[home]> Jucato:
[10:43] <Myrth[home]> ah
[10:43]  * stdin is working on that ^
[10:43] <Myrth[home]> i see
[10:43] <Stevethepirate> stdin: y0.
[10:43] <Jucato> Stevethepirate: ask stdin your kde4 package questions :)
[10:43] <stdin> hey :)
[10:44] <Jucato> he's the guy to thank for those packages :)
[10:44] <Stevethepirate> How recent is http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsimpson/ubuntu gutsy main
[10:44] <Stevethepirate> Jucato: i know
[10:44] <stdin> it's RC1
[10:44] <Stevethepirate> hence i'm asking
[10:44] <Stevethepirate> Okay.
[10:44] <Jucato> 2 weeks+ old
[10:44] <stdin> I'm working on some recent svn packages though
[10:44] <Jucato> and for a fast moving target like KDE4, that's very old
[10:45] <Stevethepirate> Jucato: indeed, I know this.
[10:45] <Stevethepirate> stdin: well, i'm about to install.
[10:45] <Stevethepirate> Should I wait a short while?
[10:45] <Jucato> Stevethepirate: that wasn't just for you :)
[10:45] <Stevethepirate> Until new changings in svn are merged?
[10:45] <Stevethepirate> Jucato: sorry, I'm an attention seeking brat :P
[10:46] <stdin> Stevethepirate: no point in waiting, I'm only just beginning to package the svn version now and I can't be sure it'll even build yet
[10:46] <Stevethepirate> ahh
[10:46] <Stevethepirate> RC3 estimate?
[10:46] <Myrth[home]> stdin: is it going to be better than 3.5? :)
[10:47] <stdin> Myrth[home]: depends what you mean by "better"
[10:47] <Stevethepirate> You should edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 to include the RCx for x E Z, x>0
[10:47] <stdin> Stevethepirate: eww, wikipedia :p just use http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule
[10:47] <Myrth[home]> stdin: evolution wise :)
[10:47] <Stevethepirate> stdin: A lot of people use wikipedia :P
[10:47] <stdin> Myrth[home]: it'll be newer, and it'll have more features...
[10:48] <stdin> Stevethepirate: yeah, but I don't edit it. I spend too much time editing the ubuntu wiki, don't want to work on another too
[10:48] <Myrth[home]> stdin: is it going to have a compact theme?
[10:48] <Stevethepirate> Um, where it says "To run it as a full session install kdm-kde4 " does it mean, do that in addition to apt-getting the "kdebase-dev-kde4 kdebase-workspace-dev .." or on its own
[10:49] <stdin> Stevethepirate: I'm actually pretty sure you don't need kdm-kde4
[10:49] <Stevethepirate> Why is that?
[10:49] <Stevethepirate> Is it just extra packages that I may not have
[10:49] <fdoving> you only need one .desktop file from the package, you can also easily use the one from kde3.
[10:49] <fdoving> with modifications.
[10:49] <Myrth[home]> stdin: is it going to be heavier than 3.5? (memory, cpu)
[10:50] <stdin> Stevethepirate: if you have /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/kde.desktop without installing it, then you don't need it
[10:50] <stdin> Myrth[home]: should be faster with Qt4
[10:50] <Stevethepirate> stdin: kk
[10:50] <Myrth[home]> that's good :)
[10:50] <Stevethepirate> I doubt I have that file
[10:51] <stdin> Stevethepirate: after installing the other packages first
[10:51] <Myrth[home]> stdin: where are you on the splash photo? :)
[10:51] <Stevethepirate> Kk
[10:51] <stdin> Myrth[home]: heh, I'm not on that. I'm not a KDE developer
[10:51] <stdin> (yet)
[10:51] <Stevethepirate> stdin: could you guess the size of kde4 for gutsy?
[10:52] <Stevethepirate> [download size]
[10:52] <naught103> is firefox always a memory hog?
[10:52] <Myrth[home]> when i just downloaded it was abt 110M
[10:52] <Stevethepirate> yeah
[10:52] <Stevethepirate> Myrth[home]: how longs ago?
[10:52] <Myrth[home]> an hour
[10:53] <Stevethepirate> Hmm
[10:53] <Stevethepirate> 110meg
[10:53] <Stevethepirate> lets hope I don't get capped
[10:53] <Stevethepirate> 4Q'ing telkom monopolistic bastards

[10:59] <sebastian^> same to me, but i think you know customers who are faster than any monitoring system ;)
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: I dont talk to customers :D:D
[10:59] <sebastian^> ActionParsnip: hmm ok, thats a great beneficial

[11:01] <sebastian^> ActionParsnip: thx :)
[11:02] <FlashWolf> ActionParsnip: but i should be downloading it, via torrent, by _at least_ 64kb/s
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: you tried it with static IP?
[11:02] <sebastian^> yep, because of some testing
[11:03] <FlashWolf> the connection in the city i am is not good. and now the servers are down
[11:03] <allbert> anyone seems to get gamil worked on konqueror?
[11:03] <sebastian^> after this i set dhcp in knetworkmanager but like i said, no wlans where found any more
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> FlashWolf: :( grr
[11:03] <FlashWolf> ActionParsnip: :T
[11:03] <sebastian^> and knetworkmanager shows me a really strange ip ... 169.254.....
[11:04] <FlashWolf> at least, just ~20min to get kubuntu downloaded
[11:04] <FlashWolf> i was using xubuntu, but didnt liked so much
[11:04] <stdin> sebastian^: that would be because it didn't get a DHCP response so it have you an avahi address
[11:04] <FlashWolf> very very simple
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: try recreating /etc/network/interfaces
[11:05] <sebastian^> ActionParsnip: why recreate ...
[11:05] <sebastian^> /msg ActionParsnip
[11:05] <sebastian^> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[11:05] <sebastian^> auto eth1
[11:06] <sebastian^> hmpf
[11:06] <FlashWolf> sebastian^: to correct some _possible_ net interface errors
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: is eth1 your wireless?
[11:07] <FlashWolf> hey  guys, someone here already used Aptana on linux
[11:07] <FlashWolf> ?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: its good to recreate so that the network settings get reset to zero
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> sebastian^: sudo cp the file to a backup name then empty the file
[11:10] <lacero> i would like to say thank you to trevinho
[11:13] <FlashWolf> lacero: about compiz-fusion?
[11:13] <lacero> about all his repo

[11:35] <francesco> ok that's my problem. I use thunderbird and the font verdana to compose messages. What I see, with Kubuntu, is a very tick font. I enabled anti-alias and I use sub-pixel-hinting. Under KDE the font looks very well.
[11:37] <sebastian^> ActionParsnip: right right
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> francesco: tools -> options then font tab (?)
[11:38] <francesco> under thunderbird or kontrol center ?

[14:08] <jhutchins> Stevethepirate: I don't know of a way to do that.  All I know how to do is to start screen before you start the app.
[14:08]  * Jucato nods...
[14:08] <jhutchins> Stevethepirate: You could try backgrounding the app, then foregrounding it in screen, let me test that...

[14:11] <yuanjin> Hey
[14:15] <CrocoJet> exist one way to setup firewall in Kubuntu ?
[14:17] <pfein> any tips on using konq with a dark color theme?  A lot of webpages seem to set the text color to <darkish> but not the background, leaving them unreadable...
[14:20] <CrocoJet> exist some front-end to manipulate iptables for kubuntu ?
[14:22] <Radi01> guard dog
[14:25] <ere4si> !gaurddog
[14:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gaurddog - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:25] <ere4si> !guarddog
[14:25] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[14:49] <Jucato> long story short: Stevethepirate: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't mean repackaging. zyp1: alpha1 never ever means "stable enough". genii: hand out those coffee mugs

[14:57] <Stevethepirate> Fixed the resolution
[14:57] <Stevethepirate> but the text is still forking tiny.
[14:57] <Stevethepirate> Like
[14:57] <Stevethepirate> 2 mm
[14:57] <Stevethepirate> on the screen
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: then make it slightly lower
[14:58] <Stevethepirate> I've tried

[14:58] <Stevethepirate> BluesKaj: I'm an addict
[14:58] <Stevethepirate> in fact
[14:58] <Stevethepirate> I had to replace it
[14:58] <Jucato> Stevethepirate: then please stop it
[14:58] <Stevethepirate> Sighs
[14:58] <Stevethepirate> funkillers :(
[14:58] <BluesKaj> you can get kicked for that
[14:58] <Jucato> it's not fun having to see incomplete sentences on multiple lines
[14:59] <Stevethepirate> Jucato: sighs.. kk.
[14:59] <Stevethepirate> But, will you spam me [in kde4] how to change text size
[14:59] <BluesKaj> if yer using pidgin or some small text page ...widen it
[14:59] <Stevethepirate> Tiny irssi in tty1
[14:59] <BluesKaj> widen the terminal then
[15:00] <Stevethepirate> BluesKaj: can't.. this is Ctrl-Alt-F1..
[15:00] <Stevethepirate> text only.. trying to get text size right in  KDE4.. then it'll be fine..
[15:00] <Radi01> Thats what gangster rap does: it steals your intellect.
[15:01] <Stevethepirate> Anyone: changing text size.. in KDE4.
[15:01] <BluesKaj> rap ain't music melody wise ...it's just a chant or a bunch of punks yelling rhymes
[15:02] <Radi01> Exactly.
[15:02] <Radi01> Brain dead idiocy.
[15:02] <BluesKaj> agreed
[15:03] <joseph> unless you're talking about Bell Biv Devoe
[15:03] <Radi01> Hollywood endorsed it and glamorized it as to digress society.
[15:04] <Stevethepirate> BluesKaj: help plz?
[15:04] <BluesKaj> no joseph , it includes anyone who yells words into mic
[15:05] <Radi01> When one culture has to imitate another: It has willfully given away its identity.
[15:05] <BluesKaj> Stevethepirate, how?
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Stevethepirate, what are you trying now ?
[15:07] <Stevethepirate> Like.
[15:08] <Stevethepirate> Changing the resolution makes no difference to the text size...
[15:08] <Abdullah> selam
[15:08] <Stevethepirate> So, changing res. makes no difference to the size of the text. Which is like 0.2mm tallk.
[15:08] <Stevethepirate> *tall
[15:08] <Stevethepirate> on a 42" plasma
[15:08] <Stevethepirate> Its unreadable.
[15:09] <joseph> BluesKaj: BBD do not yell words into mic
[15:09] <joseph> but that's off topic.
[15:10] <BluesKaj> Stevethepirate, the best thing to do is get on the desktop , system settings/appearance/fonts and reset them  to your liking
[15:10] <sxe> hi
[15:11] <sxe> hey, has anybody installed the new flash version from this location? www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

[15:12] <pfein> any tips on using konq with a dark color theme?  A lot of webpages seem to set the text color to <darkish> but not the background, leaving them unreadable...

[15:59] <yuanjin> Me
[16:00] <Narissa> yuanjin: what did you do to get this to work?
[16:01] <yuanjin> I am using a nVidia graphic card and my system gusty. I did nothing. It works....
[16:01] <Narissa> yuanjin: for some reason mine just isn't wanting to do it, it's just this block of distorted colors
[16:05] <Narissa> any suggestions
[16:05] <yuanjin> What is the manufacture of your mouse?
[16:06] <Narissa> Labtec
[16:06] <Narissa> it's a USB mouse if that helps any
[16:07] <yuanjin> Have you searched your problem through google?
[16:08] <Narissa> yup and the best I find is use SWCUrsor, problem is that when I try to use certain games and programs the cursor blinks heavily
[16:08] <yuanjin> I am not sure about it, cause I never get in that kind of trouble
[16:10] <yuanjin> Probably you need to check the drive you are using for you Ncard
[16:10] <yuanjin> Is it the default restricted drive from gusty?
[16:11] <Narissa> nope
[16:11] <Narissa> I am using the build from the site
[16:11] <Narissa> sorry nVidia drivers from thier site

[16:19] <ubotu> Package kio_videodvd does not exist in gutsy

[16:23] <hw_> jhutchins_lt: A solution for "E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room"
[16:25] <jhutchins_lt> Since that doesn't happen regularly to most of us, perhaps you could explain what you were doing at the time of that error.
[16:25] <jhutchins_lt> or not, you don't have to ask us for help.
[16:25] <Dragonath> where in the system settings thingie is the thing I am looking for?
[16:25] <Dragonath> look and feel?
[16:26] <jhutchins_lt> Possibly
[16:28] <Dragonath> I can't seem to find it
[16:28] <sivananda> Anyone know what package(s) I need to install to get the videodvd kio slave working in Gutsy?
[16:30] <sivananda> When I try to access a DVD via Konqueror's Video DVD Browser service, I get the following: "An error occurred while loading videodvd:/:

[16:33] <sivananda> bazhang_: actually it's one of those CD's that also has dvd content. Want to rip a couple videos. I know I can do it with k3b or similar, but I'd like to get the slave working for convenience sake...

[16:36] <sivananda> bazhang_: yep, kde's have a videodvd kio slave for a few years now I think. I'm guessing because of the non-free codec issue that Kubuntu removes it in base install...

[17:13] <Jucato> patrickkkk: you don't "upgrade" to KDE 4 RC1. you install it, side by side with your current KDE (3.5.8)
[17:13] <patrickkkk> Jucato: can i install kde4?
[17:13] <Jucato> yes. see the link in the channel topic
[17:13] <martinw> Sorry, wrong channel. I meant to ask it in Ubuntu since its gnome.
[17:13] <djdarkman_> hy, I`ve upgraded to gutsy, kept my user files and now some labels in programs seem to be gone, what could be the problem?
[17:14] <djdarkman_> this applies to kde programs
[17:14] <patrickkkk> thanks Jucato
[17:14] <Jucato> djdarkman_: what labels? and where?
[17:14] <denechteww> Anyone can help me?
[17:14] <djdarkman_> Jucato: for example where I supposed to browse for files it usualy spells
[17:15] <tandat> can I install gnome in KDE with CD ubuntu 7.10?
[17:15] <djdarkman_> "..." or something like that, but now all I see is an extra small button with no label
[17:15] <denechteww> m
[17:15] <djdarkman_> should I take a sreenshot?
[17:15] <Jucato> tandat: that depends. what kind of CD is it? Desktop/Live CD or Alternate Install CD?
[17:15] <tandat> desktop/live
[17:15] <Jucato> djdarkman_: it might help
[17:15] <denechteww> You still there yuanjin?
[17:15] <Jucato> tandat: you can't
[17:16] <tandat> but this CD is install CD too
[17:16] <tandat> i request it from ubuntu
[17:17] <yuanjin> Yes
[17:17] <Jucato> tandat: yes. but you can only use it to install a fresh/clean system. you can't use it to install GNOME on an already existing Kubuntu system
[17:17] <tandat> ok, thank jucato
[17:19] <Jucato> djdarkman_: could you try uploading it to something like imageshack.us instead?
[17:19] <djdarkman_> that`s what I`m doing
[17:19] <yuanjin> Bye
[17:19] <TimS> How do I set the default web browser
[17:19] <djdarkman_> man I hate routers

[17:22] <sivananda> !videodvd
[17:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about videodvd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:22] <djdarkman_> Jucato: they should be
[17:22] <Jucato> really strange... hm..
[17:24] <djdarkman_> same thing in kdevelop Jucato
[17:25] <TheFuzzball> what version of KDE4 does Kubuntu have in repos? I keep seeing packages such as konqueror-kde4 dolphin-kde4 and so on, are they worth installing and running alongside KDE3?
[17:26] <emilsedgh> TheFuzzball: rc1 iirc and you could have them with kde3 at same time
[17:26] <TheFuzzball> cool
[17:26] <Jucato> djdarkman_: sorry, I can't think of anything.. try checking System Settings -> Appearance -> Icons -> Advanced tab and check the icons size for Toolbars
[17:26] <djdarkman_> ok thanks Jucato
[17:28] <alesan> hi, do you know if it is possible to user the thinkpad finger rader on kubuntu? I installed it and read my fingerprint on the command line without problems
[17:28] <BluesKaj> sivananda, what are you looking to do in dvd/video ?
[17:28] <alesan> kdm anyway seems to be unaware of this fingerprint reader
[17:29] <sivananda> BluesKaj: get the videodvd slave working...
[17:29] <BluesKaj> sivananda, on a different hard drive ?
[17:30] <BluesKaj> or the dvd drive?
[17:30] <poison--> hi BluesKaj
[17:30] <poison--> sup
[17:30] <sivananda> BluesKaj: Nope, on the dvd rom drive
[17:30] <BluesKaj> hi poison--
[17:31] <francesco> !it
[17:31] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[17:31] <sivananda> BluesKaj: sorry, actually a dvd rw drive
[17:31] <BluesKaj> ok sivananda , do you have libdvdcss2 installed
[17:31] <poison--> how can i create a share on kubuntu machine that can only be accessed by specific user with pwd?
[17:32] <sivananda> BluesKaj: yip. I can watch DVDs fine, as well as rip and burn with k3b. I'd just like to get the slave working for convenience sake.
[17:33] <BluesKaj> right sivananda , does it show up in storage media ?
[17:33] <sivananda> BluesKaj: kde says the slave has been a part of the desktop since June 2005. I'm assuming that Kubuntu removes it in a default install due to the restrictions issue...
[17:34] <sivananda> BluesKaj: In Dolphin? Yep...
[17:34] <BluesKaj> hmmm . neber heard of kubuntu restricting the number of dvd drives available
[17:34] <BluesKaj> never
[17:34] <nosrednaekim> !repositories
[17:34] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[17:35] <sivananda> BluesKaj: Sorry, I meant the restrictions regarding encrypted dvds, non-free codecs, etc.
