[00:03] <Milux>  hi, i see this error when add an pocast: "Podcast returned invalid data". This happen only for 2 feeds. I tried the feed on the same amarok version on virtula machine and work fine. It's a bug?
[00:04] <Milux>  i searched on google but i don't find anything that help me
[00:04] <davidrawson> Does anyone know how to allow other computers to connect to my computer, such as for Ktorrent or servers? All the ports on the router are opened, and the ktorrent says there may be a firewall, but I can't find it....
[00:04] <beefjerky> has anyone successfully set up Tor on Gutsy?
[00:07] <Milux> someone?
[00:07] <jembouge> yep?
[00:07] <Milux> i see this error when add an pocast: "Podcast returned invalid data". This happen only for 2 feeds. I tried the feed on the same amarok version on virtula machine and work fine. It's a bug?
[00:08] <jembouge> Milux : no idea, can't help
[00:08] <Milux> jembouge: thanks
[00:09] <ThusLex> ok theres now another problem
[00:09] <ThusLex> it takes ages to load ubuntu up
[00:09] <ThusLex> then when the page loads
[00:09] <ThusLex> my laptop freezes
[00:10] <ThusLex> NickPresta?
[00:11] <davidrawson> are there any server softwares that I can use without having to compile it myself? Such as HTTP and FTP?
[00:11] <jembouge> davidrawson > I guess you have apache2, am I wrong?
[00:11] <NickPresta> ThusLex, which page?
[00:11] <davidrawson> yea, but it doesn't work publicly
[00:12] <ThusLex> well the Ubuntu loading screen comes up for about 5 mins
[00:12] <jembouge> what do you mean?
[00:12] <ThusLex> then the desktop page comes up
[00:12] <ThusLex> and it just freezes
[00:12] <davidrawson> I can't have incoming connections
[00:12] <NickPresta> ThusLex, are you sure its frozen or does it just take a long time?
[00:12] <ThusLex> i dont know
[00:12] <ThusLex> i waited a few minuts
[00:12] <ThusLex> and the lights on the laptop went all weird
[00:12] <davidrawson> Ktorrent says that there may be a firewall, but I never installed one...
[00:12] <ThusLex> the caps log light kept flashing
[00:13] <ThusLex> the loading light stayed on
[00:13] <jembouge> why? did you change the settings?
[00:13] <davidrawson> OOh
[00:13] <jembouge> oh
[00:13] <jembouge> are you using a router?
[00:13] <jembouge> or a switch?
[00:13] <davidrawson> Opened the ports to the router
[00:13] <davidrawson> Still wont work
[00:13] <jembouge> is apache listening to the correct port?
[00:14] <NickPresta> ThusLex, I would let it go a little while longer this time, until the lights on your CD Drive stop flashing and such
[00:14] <davidrawson> I could configure apache2 if there were some GUI for it
[00:14] <inaety> hello i just installed the Crystal Project icon set, but my Kopete icons are all screwed up and such.  is there anyway i can restore the old icons and use these or just get a new icon set just for kopete
[00:14] <jembouge> and, did you launch it by the way (just in case)
[00:14] <davidrawson> Yea
[00:14] <jembouge> no need of a gui
[00:14] <davidrawson> I looked at my localhost and it works
[00:15] <ThusLex> oh its ok now
[00:15] <ThusLex> hm
[00:15] <davidrawson> Ktorrent doesn't work either
[00:15] <jembouge> ok then, let me install it too (since I'll have to tomorrow anyway)
[00:15] <ThusLex> now to get an IRC client on ubuntu
[00:15] <ThusLex> any ideas?
[00:15] <jembouge> well yeah, true
[00:15] <NickPresta> ThusLex, is this Kubuntu or Ubuntu?
[00:15] <jembouge> I guess that's out of my knowledge then
[00:15] <aurelia> is anybody talk in french here ?
[00:15] <NickPresta> !fr | aurelia
[00:15] <ubotu> aurelia: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[00:16] <jembouge> anyone else to help?
[00:16] <davidrawson> Ktorrent doesnt work
[00:16] <jughead> How can I enable the mouse in games?  I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 and the latest flgrx driver installed with Envy.  Whenever I start a 3D game, the mouse pointer disappears
[00:16] <davidrawson> Limewire doesn't work
[00:16] <d03boy> when does the new version of ubuntu come out?
[00:16] <NickPresta> !hardy > d03boy
[00:16] <d03boy> so I can upgrade directly from dapper
[00:16] <d03boy> ah ok
[00:17] <jembouge> davidrawson : well all you can do basicly is reach the outside, but it can't reach you... anyone to help solve this?
[00:17] <ThusLex> ahh of course the internet doesnt work...
[00:18] <NickPresta> ThusLex, if you're using Kubuntu, the LiveCD should have Konversation on it, a very capable IRC client
[00:18] <ThusLex> well im using Ubuntu
[00:18] <ThusLex> and it doesnt even have intgernet
[00:18] <ThusLex> internet
[00:18] <ThusLex> im using a wireless BT Hub for the internet..
[00:18] <davidrawson> How do I find out what computers are connected to my network?
[00:21] <jembouge> well you could use dolphin and the network tab
[00:21] <jembouge> but that's my newbee way to look for windows shares
[00:22] <aurelia> i have a problem with adept
[00:22] <NickPresta> aurelia, what is it?
[00:22] <jembouge> davidrawson : type in your file browser remote:/
[00:22] <davidrawson> Why is it in samba shares?
[00:22] <davidrawson> I found it
[00:22] <jembouge> samba was made to share with the windows platform
[00:23] <davidrawson> ok
[00:23] <aurelia> another processus uses database of package systems
[00:23] <jembouge> you need the samba client to reach files from a windows computer
[00:23] <jembouge> and the samba server to share with windows clients
[00:24] <davidrawson> yea, ports 1 through 10000 are open on the router, and Ktorrent is on port 6670
[00:24] <NickPresta> !aptfix | aurelia
[00:24] <ubotu> aurelia: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[00:28] <davidrawson_> I install apache with sudo apt-get install apache2, right?
[00:29] <aurelia> nickpresta ubotu | it works
[00:29] <aurelia> thanks
[00:29] <NickPresta> davidrawson_, yep
[00:32] <davidrawson_> are there any FTP servers for linux?
[00:32] <tekteen> !ftpd
[00:32] <ubotu> FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[00:33] <tekteen> !ftpd | davidrawson _
[00:33] <ubotu> davidrawson _: please see above
[00:35] <davidrawson_> Since the samba shares has a planet icon, does that mean that it can share things with the world?
[00:35] <tekteen> no
[00:35] <tekteen> only the samba server does that
[00:36] <tekteen> what u were using was for connecting to other shares
[00:36] <tekteen> !samba
[00:36] <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
[00:39] <davidrawson_> my user management isn't going into admin mode when I click the button
[00:40] <tekteen> ok
[00:40] <ThusLex> someone please read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3851131#post3851131
[00:40] <tekteen> davidrawson_: click alt+f2
[00:40] <tekteen> then type "kdesu systemsettings"
[00:40] <BluesKaj> if one uses the share option in windows and installs samba on kubuntu then konq will auto-find the windows pc on the network by typing in smb:/  in the konq addressbar ...at least that's how it worked in my setup
[00:41] <tekteen> davidrawson_: hope that helps
[00:41] <davidrawson_> there was an error
[00:41] <tekteen> what error
[00:41] <tekteen> ?
[00:41] <davidrawson_> DCOP communications error
[00:42] <jembouge> glad you found it :)
[00:42] <tekteen> I have no idea
[00:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> still having nothing but problems trying to get kde4rc1 working :\
[00:44] <BluesKaj> Daisuke_Laptop, you have more patience than i do ...i quit trying a long time ago :)
[00:45] <davidrawson_> I'm going to download another kubuntu disk, every reinstall always has a different problem....what's the difference between the DVD iso and the CD iso?
[00:45] <tekteen> dvd iso is bigger
[00:45] <davidrawson_> which means?
[00:45] <tekteen> dvd iso also only fits on a DVD
[00:45] <davidrawson_> Does it have more?
[00:46] <tekteen> yep
[00:46] <Max-P> DVD iso have more packages included
[00:46] <tekteen> but u do not need it
[00:46] <davidrawson_> So just get the CD iso
[00:46] <tekteen> yep
[00:46] <vzduch> davidrawson_: you might want to try burning at a slower speed
[00:46] <stansmith> hello all, I am going to experiment with my cpu and compiling.  I have a core duo, and I want to play with both cores..my question is, does compiling use both cores by default or do i provide "-j3"?
[00:46] <davidrawson_> ok
[00:46] <Max-P> CD iso is enought
[00:47] <davidrawson_> I was using a rewritable, but I'm going to use a normal CD-R
[00:49] <jhutchins> stansmith: Not really a topic that's going to have a lot of knowledgebase here.
[00:49] <stansmith> jhutchins: see, im such a noob i didnt even know that
[00:49] <jhutchins> stansmith: #Gentoo'd probably be able to tell you where to go (they usually do).
[00:49] <stansmith> LOL, true
[00:49] <BluesKaj> jhutchins, yer ever so diplomatic :)
[00:50] <jhutchins> We do have a "building software" faq;
[00:50] <jhutchins> !build
[00:50] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[00:50] <stansmith> thanks, but I found a helpful little piece of info at : http://www.emperorlinux.com/hardware/coreduo/ (in case anyone else is interested)
[00:50] <davidrawson_> Does anyone know of the rockbox project?
[00:50] <nibbe> How do I mount the file Q3.ISO to haxx? I tested "sudo mount -o loop Q3. ISO haxx", but I got the error "you must specify the filesystem type.
[00:51] <stansmith> nibbe: i think you want to include "-t [type]"
[00:51] <stansmith> can someone confirm?
[00:51] <nibbe> what do I write instead of [type] ?
[00:51] <stansmith> the type of filesystem you are trying to mount
[00:52] <nibbe> I don't really know what that means
[00:52] <davidrawson_> Whenever I try to format a partition to NTFS in QTparted, it corrupts the HDD every time.
[00:53] <john__> Hey, I've got a bit of a problem.
[00:53] <stansmith> nibbe: not sure..... but try "-t iso9660
[00:53] <stansmith> "
[00:53] <davidrawson_> and the command "rm -rf /" killed my last kubuntu installation
[00:53] <jhutchins> !loop
[00:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about loop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:53] <NickPresta> davidrawson_, why would you ever run such a command? =(
[00:54] <stansmith> davidrawson_: you arent supposed to type that command in IRC
[00:54] <john__> I've just installed a fresh installation of kubuntu on a somewhat older dell and kde and kdm are both installed and working fine. So I typed in "startx
[00:54] <john__> "
[00:54] <johnfredy> hola
[00:54] <john__> And I got a FontPath error
[00:54] <davidrawson_> someone told me to, they said it would let me mount My external HDD
[00:54] <jhutchins> davidrawson_: well, yeah.  Make the partition with qtparted, format it with NT.
[00:54] <john__> Any suggestions?
[00:54] <jhutchins> davidrawson_: Or xp.
[00:54] <jhutchins> davidrawson_: You got hit by a newb trap.
[00:54] <stansmith> john__:  check the references of the fonts in your x config file
[00:54] <nibbe> x is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?
[00:55] <NickPresta> john__, in your xorg.conf file, you have a FontPath option that is trying to load something that doesn't exist.
[00:55] <davidrawson_> will macromedia flash work with wine?
[00:55] <nibbe> sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 Q3.ISO haxx - "wrong fs type"
[00:55] <jhutchins> !loopback
[00:55] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[00:55] <davidrawson_> !iso
[00:55] <john__> Alright thanks.
[00:56] <NickPresta> john__, if you have a fairly vanilla xorg.conf, you can type in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[00:56] <jhutchins> nibbe: -t first, then -o
[00:56] <stansmith> im compiling with the power of 2 cores right now
[00:56] <jhutchins> nibbe: Does it have a valid md5sum?
[00:56] <nibbe> tried that aswell
[00:56] <nibbe> got the same error
[00:56] <nibbe> Md5sum? how do I find that out?
[00:56]  * stansmith is compiling fluxbox
[00:56] <davidrawson_> if I install kubuntu, then windows, will grub recognize the new OS?
[00:57] <jhutchins> nibbe: md5sum <file> in linux.
[00:57] <stansmith> davidrawson_: no windows will erase it
[00:57] <stansmith> davidrawson_: install windows first then ubuntu
[00:57] <NickPresta> davidrawson_, it is usually suggested that Windows be installed first, as it was overwrite Grub
[00:57] <jhutchins> nibbe: You also need the reference md5sum from the source of the file.
[00:58] <nibbe> 3c9b649f5fbc06872e981ff35cc73c04
[00:58] <jhutchins> Windows doesn't actually wipe out linux, but it overwrites the bootloader so it won't boot.  There are ways to fix that, but it's easier to do it first.
[00:58] <jhutchins> nibbe: Now find the md5sum from wherever you downloaded the iso file, and compare.
[00:58] <jhutchins> nibbe: Usualy if the last four digits are good, the whole thing's good.
[00:58] <rei_0000> hi *
[00:58] <jhutchins> o/
[00:59] <NickPresta> rei_0000, hi
[00:59] <rei_0000> I'm looking for the kde admin/ dir template. where is it placed on the filesystem?
[00:59] <davidrawson_> What if I backup the bootsectors and then restore it after windows installs?
[00:59] <rei_0000> this is for KDE 3.5 series
[00:59] <Dragnslcr> Has anyone been able to transfer files to a phone over bluetooth in 7.10? I keep getting a "Forbidden" message when I try to copy files with KBluetooth's Send File
[01:00] <rei_0000> also to note that this is on the LTS
[01:00] <nibbe> I can't browse any websites right now
[01:00] <nibbe> lets assume that it's okay, what then?
[01:00] <jhutchins> davidrawson_: That's one way to do it.
[01:00] <davidrawson_> bluetooth works? windows never said my computer had bluetooth....
[01:00] <tekteen> rei_0000: /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/
[01:00] <jhutchins> davidrawson_: Of course, instead of just overwriting the windows bootsector, linux detects windows and adds it to the linux bootloader, so it really is easier to do windows first.
[01:01] <jhutchins> nibbe: well, if you can't mount the iso file via loopback using the correct command, chances are it's a bad iso file.
[01:01] <rei_0000> tekteen: no, that's the configs, I'm looking for the admin folder which is used by the autotools system of KDE for controlling builds
[01:02] <nibbe> could you type the command? I'm not sure that I've done it right
[01:02] <tekteen> ok
[01:02] <davidrawson_> windows vista screws up my partitioning so I cant have a swap file and it leaves little 9000KB unallocated space everywhere.
[01:02] <nibbe> It works to mount it on windows.
[01:02] <jhutchins> rei_0000: sounds like you're messing with something that requires some deeper reading of man pages.
[01:02] <BluesKaj> jhutchins, sometimes the  /boot/grub/menu.lst has to be edited to include the windows mbr
[01:02] <nibbe> "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop Q3.ISO haxx" is what i used.
[01:02] <davidrawson_> master boot record?
[01:03] <BluesKaj> after the kubuntu install
[01:03] <rei_0000> jhutchins: no, I just need the admin dir that gets put in any NEW KDE application source tree
[01:03] <jhutchins> nibbe: Try full path to the mount point.
[01:03] <BluesKaj> davidrawson_, tthe mbr is there i, sometimes it's hidden or has to be listed
[01:03] <jhutchins> rei_0000: maybe ask in #kde
[01:03] <nibbe> okay, but I'm in the folder where the mount point is
[01:04] <rei_0000> ... I was sent here from there.... >:|
[01:04] <jhutchins> you can also try ./Q3...
[01:04] <davidrawson_> Would giving my 500GB external hard drive an OS be a good idea, noting that my bios supports usb booting?
[01:05] <nibbe> cannot execute binary file.
[01:05] <tekteen> davidrawson_: that is your choice
[01:05] <davidrawson_> Would it work with that?
[01:05] <tekteen> why not?
[01:05] <davidrawson_> Becuase it may not be compatable with linux since windows cannot be installed to it
[01:06] <davidrawson_> or is windows just being stupid
[01:06] <tekteen> why can't windows be installed to it?
[01:06] <BluesKaj> one can always format a fs on the drive
[01:06] <nibbe> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0
[01:06] <tekteen> the stupid part
[01:06] <tekteen> lol :-)
[01:07] <davidrawson_> WIndows vista setup says that I cant, it wouldn't let me. It said that IEEE or usb drives are not supported.
[01:07] <tekteen> ok
[01:07] <tekteen> windows it being windows
[01:08] <BluesKaj> davidrawson_, vista doesn't support usb external drives?
[01:08] <tekteen> linux does not care. A storage system is a storage system
[01:08] <davidrawson_> Might as well have windows for windows programs that don't work with wine though, game devs need to focus on linux too.
[01:09] <Max-P> Does a big download can make K3B not working? It get "Can't connect to host" message
[01:09]  * stansmith is now using fluxbox
[01:09] <loaderr> Anyone know how to share an internet connection from a kubuntu pc to a nokia n800 in ad-hoc mode ?
[01:10] <davidrawson_> hal-storage-fixed-mount refused....oh, I know how ti fix it.....
[01:10] <stansmith> fluxbox is so tight
[01:10] <davidrawson_> why does it do that?
[01:10] <tekteen> loaderr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc?highlight=%28ad-hoc%29
[01:12] <Max-P> Does a big download can make K3B not working? It get "Can't connect to host" message
[01:12] <tekteen> Max-P: I do not understand the question
[01:13] <davidrawson_> how do I login as root
[01:13] <tekteen> davidrawson_: in the konsole?
[01:13] <davidrawson_> is there a password?
[01:13] <Max-P> kdesu ou sudo
[01:14] <nibbe> the same password as your account
[01:14] <jhutchins> !sudo | davidrawson_
[01:14] <ubotu> davidrawson_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:14] <jhutchins> !kdesu | davidrawson_
[01:14] <ubotu> davidrawson_: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[01:15] <Max-P> Can a download affect the CDDB function of K3B?
[01:15] <Max-P> I always get errors
[01:16] <adepthelp> Hello i need some help with adept notifier, can i ask here?
[01:17] <tekteen> yep
[01:17] <tekteen> ask away
[01:17] <adepthelp> alright,
[01:17] <adepthelp> vim 6.4 was installed by default, but it's an old version so i downloaded 7.0, compiled + installed and removed 6.4
[01:17] <adepthelp> Now i want to upgrade, and adept still thinks i have 6.4 installed and not 7.0
[01:18] <adepthelp> what i want to do is simply remove vim from the list of updated software
[01:18] <adepthelp> but i cannot see such option
[01:18] <tekteen> u could just follow what is says.
[01:18] <tekteen> then install the new vim later
[01:18] <adepthelp> but vim 7.0 is already installed
[01:19] <tekteen> I can not help more then that
[01:19] <davidrawson> QTparted won't let me delete an unmounted partition
[01:19] <adepthelp> I cannot remove it from the list of updates?
[01:19] <adepthelp> there's only 'cancel changes', 'request removal' and 'request purging'
[01:19]  * genii sips a coffee
[01:19] <tekteen> adepthelp: cancel changes is what u want
[01:20] <tekteen> that will remove it
[01:20] <adepthelp> Cancel changes cancels the changes i have done
[01:20] <adepthelp> it does not remove it from the list :(
[01:20] <tekteen> yes it does
[01:20] <tekteen> cancel changes it to cancel what it WANTS to do
[01:21] <tekteen> not what is done :-)
[01:21] <adepthelp> but status remains upgradable and requested remains upgrade
[01:21] <davidrawson> XD
[01:21] <tekteen> ok
[01:21] <tekteen> no idea
[01:21] <tekteen> sorry
[01:21] <adepthelp> no problem
[01:22] <davidrawson> I was looking at linux torrents, and I found a nigbuntu.
[01:22] <adepthelp> sounds a bit racist
[01:22] <davidrawson> is that even an official release?
[01:23] <tekteen> no
[01:25] <ses59_> I wanted to install google earth on my unit and downloaded the bin file from google but did not know how to install it
[01:25] <tekteen> ses59_: there is a ubuntu package for it in medibuntu

[01:26] <ubotu> ses59_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:26] <pjeide> ses: in terminal, CD to the folder with the download, and ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[01:26] <pjeide> ses59_: see above
[01:27] <BlackDiamonds> I'm trying to get a Power User guy to convert to Ubuntu
[01:27] <BlackDiamonds> he really likes to be in control
[01:27] <BlackDiamonds> so what other things are there like Medibuntu ?
[01:27] <ses59_> thank you
[01:28] <tekteen> ?
[01:28] <pjeide> ses59_: Did that do it, or did you use Medibuntu?
[01:28] <davidrawson> omfg http://steve-o.org/files/images/a/Jewbuntu.png
[01:28] <tekteen> BlackDiamonds: I can not think of any
[01:28] <ses59_> i have done anything yet just went to the medibuntu web to read
[01:29] <pjeide> ses59_: Medibuntu provides some good packages, but don't waste your time if you've already downloaded the bin
[01:29] <BlackDiamonds> I remember in the days of Breezy there used to be wiki pages filled with that sorta stuff
[01:29] <pjeide> ses59_: are you comfortable in the terminal?
[01:29] <BlackDiamonds> I guess now Ubuntu has really fixed that stuff up
[01:29] <ses59_> yes
[01:29] <davidrawson> what's medibuntu?
[01:29] <pjeide> ses59_: just cd to directory with the .bin and ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[01:29] <tekteen> !medibuntu
[01:29] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:29] <pjeide> ses59_: It will start the install process
[01:29] <ses59_> ok
[01:30] <ses59_> i forget about the ./ command a lot
[01:31] <pjeide> ses59_: and if they didn't do it, then you would chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[01:31] <pjeide> then ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[01:31] <davidrawson> so it's mostly codecs that arent legal?
[01:31] <tekteen> yep
[01:31] <tekteen> and dvd decryption
[01:32] <luigi> anyone has the 8800 gts?
[01:32] <davidrawson> Who Cares about dvd decryption, Hollywood?
[01:32] <tekteen> not even them
[01:32] <tekteen> they gave up years ago
[01:32] <davidrawson> IT'S MICROSOFT'S FAULT
[01:32] <tekteen> just dont use th hddvd decryption
[01:32] <tekteen> the*
[01:32] <pjeide> tekteen: ya, now they just charge $5 for a popcorn to make up for it...
[01:32] <tekteen> lol
[01:32] <davidrawson> Why not?
[01:33] <luigi> someone have a 8800 gts? it's compatible with linux?? who know?
[01:33] <davidrawson> test it
[01:33] <davidrawson> use the liveCD
[01:34] <tekteen> Hollywood thinks the NEW HD DVD decryption will be unbreakable
[01:34] <luigi> isn't for me.....
[01:34] <davidrawson> where's your brother, mario
[01:34] <luigi> if someone know...
[01:34] <tekteen> currently there are many ways to break it. LOL
[01:34] <davidrawson> Thinks
[01:34] <ses59_> if someone wrote it someone will find a way to break it
[01:35] <luigi> davidrawson he's in the game,.,.,.,. waiting for me!!!
[01:36] <adepthelp> thanks for the help tekteen, i sorted it out
[01:36] <adepthelp> :D bye
[01:36] <tekteen> bye
[01:36] <davidrawson> COOL! I was copying stuff, then something went wrong, so I clicked continue or something and it resumed! Unlike windows, when it just stops.....
[01:36] <tekteen> :-)
[01:37]  * Tm_T slaps Darth-afk
[01:37] <BluesKaj> we get so many trekkies in here
[01:38] <Tm_T> luigi: yes it should work
[01:38] <davidrawson> Mac is for People who don't know how to use a computer, Windows is for more experienced users(who don't mind being bombarded by viruses and monopoly), and linux is for people who are free
[01:38] <Tm_T> davidrawson: aha
[01:38] <pjeide> davidrawson: the presumtion that OS X is for computer illiterate people is fallacious
[01:39] <pjeide> s/presumtion/presumption
[01:39] <tekteen> I have to agree
[01:39] <luigi> -Tm_T thanks!!!
[01:39] <davidrawson> It's not as flexible
[01:39] <tekteen> the one u got right was linux
[01:39] <xevil> pjeide: I agree with you... nothing wrong with the MAC
[01:39] <pjeide> xevil: And I think MAC is a still thing, because it isn't an acronym :)
[01:39] <tekteen> mac u got all rong
[01:40] <Tm_T> also that's offtopic here
[01:40]  * pjeide nods and bows out
[01:40] <xevil> pjeide: I know you can't beat it for video editing
[01:40] <Tm_T> so just drop it before it's full flamewar
[01:40] <davidrawson> What video editing is on linux?
[01:41] <davidrawson> GOOD video edition
[01:41] <davidrawson> editing*
[01:41] <pjeide> Tm_T: thanks :-)  The potential for getting inadvertently heated there was high
[01:42] <tekteen> davidrawson: I have heard of "kino"
[01:42] <davidrawson> It's not that great, the video importing from the camera has horizontal tearing
[01:42] <tekteen> no idea
[01:42] <pjeide> Mind if I pm you davidrawson?
[01:43] <lockd> pjeide: MAC is an acronym
[01:43] <pjeide> negative
[01:43] <pjeide> it is an abbreviation.
[01:43] <davidrawson> Machine of Apple Corporation?

[01:44] <pjeide> who says I'm going to WYO?
[01:44] <pjeide> !ask | scooter_
[01:44] <ubotu> scooter_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:44] <Dragnslcr> Media Access Controller
[01:44] <ardchoille> draik: Hi, how goes?
[01:44] <BluesKaj> Apple MACintosh computer
[01:44] <Dragnslcr> e.g. MAC address
[01:44]  * pjeide drops it
[01:44] <draik> ardchoille: Back at it again with the DMA
[01:44] <davidrawson> Windows is dangerous, you could break through and fall to your death.
[01:44] <ardchoille> draik: :(
[01:44] <hellhound> i know this is off topic but does anyone know the server/channel to get help with google calendar?
[01:45] <lockd> Dragnslcr: i remembered what it was for, just not the words that comprised it
[01:45] <tekteen> davidrawson: true words
[01:45] <ardchoille> davidrawson: lol
[01:45] <draik> ardchoille: Yeah, I know. I wish I could find a local 'puter shop that deals with Linux so they can take a look at everything that is inside
[01:45] <NickPresta> Would I remove the "splash" option (in my menu.lst) to get rid of that Kubuntu loading screen on boot? I want to see what's going on at boot...
[01:46] <iceEra> where do i  change kde Themes?=
[01:46] <davidrawson> Do windows(wine) programs work on internet?
[01:46] <iceEra> yes
[01:46] <ardchoille> NickPresta: yes
[01:46] <tekteen> davidrawson: yes
[01:46] <BluesKaj> DMA Direct Memory Access
[01:46] <ardchoille> NickPresta: And you can go even further and remove the "quiet" too, but that may be too much.
[01:46] <davidrawson> Does direct X work with wine, or do I have to install it first?
[01:46] <NickPresta> ardchoille, thanks. I just want to diagnose what is causing the boot to take so long as this one specific point.
[01:47] <lockd> davidrawson: wine comes with some subset of directx 8
[01:47] <ardchoille> NickPresta: Ah, ok
[01:47] <lockd> davidrawson: I'm not exactly sure you -can- install it
[01:47] <pjeide> davidrawson: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/unix.html .. Since the first beta of OS X, Apple has employed a *NIX kernel behind the scenes.. some sort of Debian or BSD one-off, I am not mistaken
[01:47] <davidrawson> Some programs don't work because they only work on 32bit, 16bit, or high color....
[01:47] <iceEra> davidrawson, you allso has a program called crossover To use windows apps in
[01:47] <lockd> can anyone confirm or deny this?
[01:48] <pjeide> davidrawson: OS X has its own package repositories using apt-get
[01:48] <pjeide> davidrawson: OS X is more *nix than mac
[01:48] <pjeide> it just looks nice :)
[01:48] <lockd> davidrawson: oh, right. 24-bit is the highest actual color depth
[01:48] <ardchoille> pjeide: iirc, OS X is now based on a modified FreeBSD
[01:48]  * pjeide nods
[01:49] <lockd> davidrawson: someone gave me a patch to make it appear as though it was 32 bit to the windows program, while running on 24-bit. but it didn't work out at all
[01:49] <ardchoille> Which didn't take too much doing since it was NeXT anyway
[01:49]  * ardchoille ducks
[01:49] <pjeide> I haven't been up on my reading as I haven't opened an Apple in over 6 years now.. the last OS X I had on a home machine was the beta
[01:49] <davidrawson> what if I just virtualize windows? with virualBox
[01:49] <Tm_T> !offtopic
[01:49] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[01:50] <lockd> davidrawson: I believe that should work. I again don't know anything about the hardware support, which is what you probably care about
[01:50] <iceEra> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-345037.html
[01:50] <iceEra> you can look there
[01:50] <hydrogen> I ate an apple.
[01:50] <iceEra> :)
[01:50] <hydrogen> it was good.
[01:50] <hydrogen> the doctor didn't come.
[01:50] <iceEra> Hydro
[01:50] <iceEra> where do i find kdm theme changer:P?
[01:51] <hydrogen> systemsettings
[01:51] <davidrawson> Like doctors are vampires(taking our blood...) and apples are garlic
[01:51] <hydrogen> in advanced
[01:51] <hydrogen> login manager
[01:51] <iceEra> and+
[01:51] <iceEra> ?
[01:52] <hydrogen> there you go
[01:52] <iceEra> Ty honey:D
[01:52] <ardchoille> I need a wiki-like app for KDE. One that doesn't require GTK/gnome and I don't have to install a web server for it.
[01:53] <hydrogen> uhh
[01:53] <davidrawson> I wish there was a way to copy CD's rawly
[01:53] <NickPresta> ardchoille, see #k-ot
[01:53] <hydrogen> whats the point of a wiki if its not on the internets
[01:53] <killer_> any pointers on installing beryl on Geforce 7300 in kubuntu fiesty?
[01:53] <lockd> ardchoille: I believe you have to install a web server regardless. there IS some CGI kioslave
[01:54] <ardchoille> hydrogen: It'll be a local knowledge-base type thing for three users on this machine
[01:54] <lockd> ardchoille: meaning you can run php programs right inside konqueror
[01:54] <lockd> ardchoille: but wiki isn't just PHP, it also requires a database server like MySQL
[01:54] <davidrawson> Can I run windows web servers within kubuntu?
[01:54] <lockd> davidrawson: why?
[01:54] <ardchoille> lockd: wiki-like
[01:54] <davidrawson> apache don't work for me
[01:55] <ardchoille> lockd: The ability to link notes/documents?
[01:55] <NickPresta> ardchoille, http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
[01:55] <NickPresta> ardchoille, you can run it from a browser. it's a single HTML file really
[01:55] <ardchoille> NickPresta: Wow, sounds nice
[01:56] <NickPresta> ardchoille, it is a lightweight wiki that works well for local users
[01:56] <lockd> davidrawson: I think apache would be easier to get working than anything else. do you just need a very simple web server?
[01:56] <ardchoille> NickPresta: That's exactly what I needed, thanks
[01:56] <davidrawson> I need a server that I can administer
[01:56] <davidrawson> how did you make my name come up red?
[01:56] <hydrogen> what do you need this server to do?
[01:56] <hydrogen> just serve filez?
[01:57] <NickPresta> davidrawson, lighttpd works well
[01:57] <davidrawson> I need gui, can't figure out command line.
[01:57] <ardchoille> NickPresta: Was I ot earlier? Sorry if I was.
[01:57] <NickPresta> ardchoille, I meant that we could discuss it further in #kubuntu-offtopic if you wish :)
[01:58] <ardchoille> NickPresta: I'll join there, thanks
[01:58] <pjeide> davidrawson: at that pace you're probably right
[01:58] <davidrawson> how did you make your thing red?
[01:58] <pjeide> Your name was in the string of chat.
[01:59] <lockd> which doesn't always look red, to anyone else
[02:00] <davidrawson> so does pjeide make it red to you?
[02:00] <pjeide> davidrawson: If your name is 'targeted' many clients will highlight the line somehow and even notify you if the application is in the background to notify you that you've been directly addressed.
[02:00] <pjeide> yes
[02:01] <davidrawson> gonna do something now....
[02:02] <scooter_> can someone tell me where to get a program that plays mp3's
[02:03] <scooter_> can someone help the scooter?
[02:04] <lockd> scooter_: you just want a program to play mp3s?
[02:04] <lockd> scooter_: or to handle playlists and all that
[02:04] <scooter_> yea
[02:04] <scooter_> just to play mp3's
[02:04] <scooter_> playlists would be good tho
[02:05] <hydrogen> AMAROK
[02:05] <hydrogen> err
[02:05] <hydrogen> you don't need caps
[02:05] <hydrogen> though it deserves them
[02:05] <dick-richardson> when viewing flash video, it will stop. both in firefox and konqueror. I have to ctrl-alt-bckspce to get it working again temporarily
[02:05] <davidrawson> how would I make my external HDD bootable?
[02:06] <scooter_> i tried amarok
[02:06] <scooter_> but none of my songs playe
[02:06] <scooter_> d
[02:06] <dick-richardson> scooter_: what codec?
[02:06] <lockd> scooter_: does sound work or is it "file corrupts"?
[02:06] <hydrogen> you need to install libxine-ffmpeg
[02:06] <scooter_> file corrupts
[02:06] <hydrogen> err
[02:06] <hydrogen> libxine1-ffmpeg
[02:06] <dick-richardson> libxine-extracodecs
[02:06] <hydrogen> which just provides libxine1-ffmpeg
[02:07] <scooter_> ok the only problem is i have no clue what im doing
[02:07] <lockd> scooter_: sudo aptitude install libxine-extracodecs
[02:07] <davidrawson> How do I make my external hard disk boot? Do I have to fdisk /mbr?
[02:07] <dick-richardson> open konsole, type sudo aptitude install libxine-extracodecs (or libxine1-ffmpeg)
[02:07] <ardchoille> NickPresta: Thank you for the recommendation, tiddlywiki is perfect for us.
[02:08] <NickPresta> ardchoille, I'm glad it fits your needs. I found it a little while ago and it's useful for situations like yours. :)
[02:08] <ardchoille> :)
[02:08] <naelr> genii: I got a good one for ya
[02:08] <scooter_> ok i did that
[02:08] <scooter_> so its good to go now?
[02:08] <genii> naelr: You figured out the issue?
[02:08] <lockd> davidrawson: your bios has to support it, then you have to mark it bootable in cfdisk or somesuch
[02:08] <dick-richardson> scooter_: should be, give it a shot
[02:08] <ardchoille> lockd: Thanks for the kioslave hint, found some I like in the repos :)
[02:09] <naelr> genii: well I grabbed the wrong ubuntu CD this morning and installed it again and the damn thing booted...
[02:09] <naelr> genii: it was fiesty
[02:09] <naelr> genii: when I did the updates and it got a newer kernel.. it gave me the same busybox
[02:09] <lockd> ardchoille: (It's off topic, but OS X users vehemently hate things like kioslaves)
[02:09] <ardchoille> hehe
[02:09] <naelr> genii: I rebooted and picked the older kernel and the damn thing booted again!
[02:09] <davidrawson> FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
[02:09] <naelr> WTF....
[02:10] <genii> naelr: That is very bizarre and I have no idea why it is like that
[02:10] <lockd> ardchoille: really do come in handy, especially fish, ftp, etc
[02:10] <scooter_> dick-richardson: it says local file does not exist
[02:11] <genii> naelr: Did you try yet the feisty->gutsy upgrade route?
[02:11] <naelr> what could be the difference between 2.6.20-15-generic and 2.6.20-16-generic
[02:11] <ardchoille> lockd: And apt:/ locate:/ man:/ info:/
[02:11] <naelr> genii: no I was just about to do that ...
[02:11] <davidrawson> Do I have to unmount all drives for cfdisk to work?
[02:11] <hydrogen> see the changelog naelr
[02:11] <lockd> ardchoille: oh right, those are handy.
[02:11] <genii> naelr: I did hear some things about the -16 kernel but forget exactly
[02:11] <naelr> hydrogen.. yea I was gonna look into that too... but gutsy woudln't boot eitehr and it is like .22 or something isn't it
[02:12] <davidrawson> is there a boot manager I can use to make a mbr?
[02:13] <dick-richardson> scooter_: that's odd...google isn't helping much either. is the hard drive good?
[02:13] <scooter_> dick-richardson: cant see why it wouldnt be
[02:13] <naelr> but see I installed gentoo last night and complied the damn thing for my machine and it still wouldn't boot so it leads me to believe it might be something that the developers mght now consider "depreciated"
[02:14] <naelr> er *might now consider
[02:14] <davidrawson> how do I use cfdisk?
[02:14] <genii> Tm_T: :(
[02:14] <Tm_T> genii: yes?
[02:15] <lockd> naelr: deprecated generally never breaks compatibility, or causes fatal errors
[02:15] <scooter_> dick-richardson: i just got the computer a few months ago, and vista crashed on me so i figured i'd use kubuntu
[02:15] <genii> Tm_T: [21:14] *** Tm_T takes the permission to talk from you.
[02:15] <davidrawson> Does marking a partition in QTparted the active one make it bootable?
[02:16] <Tm_T> genii: ignore it
[02:16] <davidrawson> unless installing kubuntu to the HDD makes it boot with grub anyway....
[02:17]  * genii sips a coffee
[02:17] <davidrawson> does installing kubuntu create a master boot record?
[02:20] <davidrawson> how do I format a partition to ntfs?
[02:21] <davidrawson> guys?
[02:21] <scooter_> does someone wanna get me to a server that can help me with this?
[02:22] <davidrawson> fine
[02:22] <dennister> hecy channel, i've got a wierd issue on this new installation: half the apps in my k-menu are preceeded by this string that i can't seem to get rid of: _: Entries in ke-menu: <app...
[02:22] <dennister> anyone seen this before and/or know how to get rid of them?
[02:24] <dennister> my, my...some impatient people in here tonight...
[02:26] <naelr> here goes the reboot!!!!
[02:27] <genii> dennister: I've had it before. Never did find the solution or reason, instead did a gnome install then the kubuntu-desktop install
[02:27] <genii> naelr: Good luck!
[02:27] <dennister> genii: awwwwwwwww
[02:27] <naelr> sumbitch is bootin!
[02:28] <naelr> but the mouse and keyboard don't work
[02:28] <dennister> but i don't want gnome <whine, whine, whine>
[02:28] <dennister> heheheh...maybe i'll try kde4 instead
[02:29] <genii> dennister: LOL   well, thats how I got rid of em anyhow. I agree it's extremely annoying
[02:29] <naelr> wtf... mouse and keyboard ... gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[02:29] <genii> naelr: I suspect for the mouse/keyboard fix you may need the kernel switch of  usb-handoff
[02:30] <dennister> what i downloaded for this install was the kubuntu install disk, hoping to avoid the gnome completely
[02:31] <genii> dennister: Alternate or regular cd?
[02:31] <naelr> using my kvm and a usb to ps2 converter .heheh
[02:31] <naelr> genii: I don't understand... in grub?
[02:32] <genii> naelr: Wait, you had a kvm when it booted?
[02:32] <naelr> genii: no sir .. I plugged it in when the keyboard on the laptop and mouse stopped working
[02:33] <naelr> genii: where do I put this switch?
[02:33] <genii> naelr: Aaah. Well yeas at grub prompt (or editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst default kernel)
[02:33] <dennister> genii: regular
[02:33] <naelr> genii: ok I will put it in there and reboot
[02:33] <genii> naelr: use e to edit at grub prompt, add to end of kernel line
[02:34] <naelr> genii: yea I am in gnome now .. I  just gonna add it to the menu.lst file
[02:34] <genii> naelr: The grub method allows to see if it works, if so then it can be made permanent
[02:34] <genii> naelr: Or editing alla time, whatever you like ;)
[02:34] <dennister> and i like this, without the gnome-desktop at all, cause it doesn't want to use apps like evolution all the time
[02:35] <naelr> genii: true
[02:35] <genii> dennister: Well, maybe try alternate I guess
[02:35] <genii> dennister: Or perhps you could exit kde, then try from console login, for kicks, sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[02:36] <dennister> there's got to be another solution...i'm trying to find the k-emnu in system settings
[02:37] <naelr> and another thing... why do I get invalid mac address please complain to your hardware vendor
[02:37] <naelr> genii: that worked.... sweet !
[02:37] <dennister> genii...ok, i can do this last suggestion of yours...after having installed almost-all my apps, gotten my kmail contacts all set...
[02:37] <genii> naelr: :)
[02:37] <naelr> so no I gonna try the upgrade path to gutsy!
[02:37] <genii> dennister: I'll be around, keep me posted :)
[02:38] <naelr> er I mean now I gonna try
[02:38] <dennister> k
[02:38] <naelr> afk
[02:42] <ses59_> when move around in google earth the picture is very jumpy is that normal or is just my video card just to old to display good picture ati 256kb with tv card is in the unit
[02:43] <TyFuZ^^> Hi i'm having some problems with kubuntu desktop or mouse not really sure.. can anyone help?
[02:43] <dennister> genii: didn't work i'm afraid...garbage is still here
[02:45] <genii> dennister: Well, if the next step would be where you reinstall or such anyhow... maybe get entirely out of X (kill kdm tc etc) then --purge kubuntu-desktop   and rm ~/.kde  then install it again
[02:46] <TyFuZ^^> i'm having some problems with kubuntu desktop or mouse not really sure.. can anyone help? when i'm in a window like adept manager or something else i cant click on the menu bar and the same way around need to right click to get it working. but sometimes even that doesnt work?
[02:46] <dennister> genii: found it!
[02:47] <dennister> all i did was go into kcontrol-->Desktop-->K-menu and chose "name only"
[02:47] <genii> dennister: Should file that somewhere
[02:47] <dennister> much faster :)
[02:47] <genii> I agree
[02:48] <dennister> well, i'm filing it in my brain's file manager in case others come across the same issue
[02:49] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: i can't help, but perhaps genii can?
[02:49]  * genii returns since his ears are burning
[02:50] <TyFuZ^^> genii?
[02:50] <genii> TyFuZ^^: Actually sorry to disappoint but I'm not familiar with that problem
[02:50] <genii> Or possible fixes, etc
[02:51] <TyFuZ^^> hmm :/
[02:51] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: u may have to wait, then, until some of the other true afficionados come online
[02:52] <dennister> i'm surprised the channel is so quiet, actually
[02:54] <TyFuZ^^> okey
[02:57] <scooter_> can someone help me play mp3's?
[02:57] <master_> so someone explain this to me: i hit alt-f2 and type in "kopete" and run that, it loads the file at /usr/bin/kopete. i go to konsole and type "which kopete" and i get /usr/local/bin/kopete. (this is just an example of a few programs this happens with)
[02:58] <angel_> scooter:sudo aptitude install  aptitude install libxine-xvdr libxinerama1 libxine1-console libxineliboutput-fbfe

[02:58] <Tm_T> angel_: no
[02:58] <angel_> n_n  Oops
[02:58] <coteyr> ok got a question, can anyone recomment a peice of software that would let me download tv shows as they come out (i.e. ted for hellanzb)
[03:00] <dennister> coteyr: never heard of that, except using rss feeds to alert you to stuff coming out...but i'm not a very good user of aggregator
[03:01] <coteyr> yeah i found tvnzb
[03:01] <coteyr> that looks like it gives you a nzb file
[03:01] <coteyr> queston is how to automaticaly download it with hella
[03:01] <coteyr> just got to get the nzb to the right folder and hella will pick it up
[03:03] <coteyr> Alt.binz supports it but it's windows, they ware it works with wine but I
[03:03] <coteyr> m not doing that
[03:03] <Tm_T> I hope you're not talking about anything illegal
[03:04] <coteyr> nope
[03:04] <flaccid> !illegal

[03:04] <dennister> coteyr: well, the concept sounds interesting...i'm reading up on hellanzb now
[03:04] <flaccid> dang
[03:04] <coteyr> not illigal
[03:04] <dennister> flaccid: not to worry, just discussing automation
[03:05] <hydrogen> dood
[03:05] <hydrogen> own up
[03:05] <coteyr> and even if not it's a service providede by the networks
[03:05] <coteyr> hellanzb is awsome
[03:05] <dennister> heck, getting tv is legal ota
[03:06] <flaccid> dennister: im not worrying about anything, i was seeing if there is an entry. i never worry about that crap
[03:06] <dennister> k
[03:06] <scooter_> can someone help me rele quick?
[03:07] <dennister> scooter_: with what
[03:07] <scooter_> dennister: i need to figure out how to play .mp3 files
[03:07] <TyFuZ^^> i'm having some problems with kubuntu desktop or mouse not really sure.. can anyone help? when i'm in a window like adept manager or something else i cant click on the menu bar and the same way the other way around need to right click to get it working. but sometimes even that doesnt work?
[03:07] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: perhaps flaccid can help u with ur problem...he's real good
[03:08] <coteyr> TyFuZ^^ what kinda mouse and could it be window focus pproblems
[03:08] <dennister> !restricted

[03:08] <Beaster144> Finally... back onto the good channels.
[03:08] <flaccid> yeah go to system settings and change the window behaviour perhaps
[03:08] <dennister> scooter_: that should give u everything u need
[03:09] <naelr> does anyone notice that windows or linux uses your laptop batteries better?
[03:09] <BloodyTux> So, anyone need help?
[03:09]  * BloodyTux needs a life...
[03:09] <dennister> lol @ BloodyTux
[03:09] <dennister> so do we all, hon
[03:09] <TyFuZ^^> I have i microsoft optical wheel.. a really standard one.. dont know what windows focus is since i'm really new to linux
[03:10] <BloodyTux> Yep.
[03:11]  * BloodyTux sighs. Slow day huh...
[03:11] <TyFuZ^^> i tried Ubuntu too same problem
[03:12] <coteyr> TyFuZ^^ it sounds like a focus problem or your mouse buttons are set wrong
[03:12] <coteyr> cat /ets/X11/xorg.conf | grep z-axis and send that to a pasie
[03:12] <coteyr> !pastie
[03:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastie - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:12] <coteyr> oh
[03:12] <coteyr> don't know how to get you one thoes
[03:12] <scooter_> dennister: it says "cannot find package"
[03:13] <BloodyTux> !paste
[03:13] <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)
[03:13] <dennister> scooter_: what is "it"? terminal?
[03:14] <scooter_> yea
[03:14] <TyFuZ^^> i think it's the focus thing. how do i fix that?
[03:14] <scooter_> konsole
[03:14] <dennister> scooter_: have u tried opening acrobat? that often does a batch-adept for mp3 support
[03:15] <dennister> it just did for me, anyway, on this new installation
[03:16] <BloodyTux> Cricket, cricket.
[03:16] <scooter_> dennister: ok i opened up adept but i have no clue what to do with it
[03:17] <scooter_> dennister: i've been using kubuntu for like a week
[03:17] <dennister> scooter_: open up amarok, close adept
[03:17] <scooter_> dennister: ok
[03:17] <dennister> scooter_: then go to settings
[03:17] <Daisuke_Laptop> well then.  i'm pretty much screwed
[03:18] <Daisuke_Laptop> i have to finish a paper for english...  and my flash drive is MIA
[03:18] <scooter_> dennister:then....
[03:18] <dennister> settings-->configure amarok-->
[03:18] <BloodyTux> Sucks to be you dude. Long time no see.
[03:18] <scooter_> mhmm
[03:19] <dennister> then Collection...tell amarok where ur music files are stored, -->apply
[03:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> it could be in the car.  but my fiancee's got it right now, so i'll have to check when she gets home
[03:19]  * BloodyTux needs to put together a 50 slide powerpoint by 9:00 tomorrow.
[03:20] <dennister> scooter_: after u've told amarok where the mp3 files are, and hit ok to close the dialog box, go to Tools-->Rescan Collection
[03:20] <hydrogen> so why are you here.
[03:20] <hydrogen> well
[03:21] <hydrogen> I take that back
[03:21] <hydrogen> I know why you're here
[03:21] <hydrogen> the same reason i'm here when I need to write four papers in the next two days
[03:21] <Daisuke_Laptop> procrastinaaaaaaaaaaation
[03:21] <BloodyTux> Hydrogen: Because I have no life and my grade sucks so I don't care...
[03:21] <dennister> after that you should have a library or some mp3 files to drag to the big, righthand box...try to play that and u should get a warning box that you can't handle mp3 files yet...do u want to install mp3 support...Click Yes!
[03:21] <Daisuke_Laptop> (imagine that last line sung)
[03:21] <knights> For some reason I have to use the Network tool to connect to the net after every reboot, I think its because for some reason my ethernet internet wasn't detected during install. How do I get it to connect to the internet auto. on boot?
[03:22] <dennister> scooter_: that should start the adept batch install process without you njeeding to do much else but sit back and watch for a minute or so
[03:22]  * BloodyTux sighs and pokes at his empty pile of red bulls, liquid ices, and 5 hour enrgys
[03:22] <BloodyTux> I'm pathetic....
[03:23] <hydrogen> and off topic!
[03:23] <scooter_> ok it scanned the whole computer, all my music is there
[03:23] <scooter_> but none of it is playing
[03:23] <BloodyTux> >.>
[03:23] <scooter_> its skipping all my .mp3 tracks
[03:23] <dennister> scooter_: no, just drag one mp3 file over to the right hand side
[03:24] <dennister> hit play, and u should get a warning box that you can't handle mp3 files yet...do u want to install mp3 support...Click Yes!
[03:24] <TyFuZ^^> I dont know
[03:24] <TyFuZ^^> i tried changing the focus stuff and nothing happend
[03:24]  * BloodyTux points at the list and then counts the number of people actually talking and getting/giving help...,"4"
[03:24] <TyFuZ^^> it's really weird
[03:24] <scooter_> nothing like that is coming up though
[03:24] <BloodyTux> Wait.. 5
[03:25] <dennister> have you dragged an mp3 file into the playlist window?
[03:25] <TyFuZ^^> since sometimes when i try to use one part of a window i cant click on that but i can click on another part..
[03:25] <BloodyTux> Good luck guys. Cya
[03:25] <dennister> bye BloodyTux
[03:25] <TyFuZ^^> it's weird anyone have any ideas?
[03:26] <dennister> scooter_: have you dragged an mp3 file into the playlist window yet?
[03:26] <bmk789> anyone have an ati/nvidia RF remote?
[03:27] <scooter_> do i have to rescan?
[03:27] <scooter_> cuz that put all of them in the playlist window
[03:27] <dennister> no
[03:27] <dennister> scooter_: just drag an mp3 file from the Collection on left to the playlist window on right
[03:27] <dennister> never mind that they're all there in playlist
[03:28] <dennister> just hit the play button below the playlist window
[03:28] <scooter_> it goes through all of my songs
[03:28] <scooter_> but it doesnt play them
[03:28] <flaccid> codecs installed?
[03:29] <scooter_> it wouldnt let me for some random reason
[03:29] <flaccid> does it give a dialog at all
[03:29] <scooter_> no
[03:29] <scooter_> nothing like that
[03:29] <scooter_> it just skips everything
[03:29] <flaccid> but you are saying codecs are not installed?
[03:29] <scooter_> no it wouldnt let me
[03:29] <scooter_> whats the command for it
[03:29] <flaccid> why is the error for that
[03:29] <flaccid> what release are you on?
[03:29] <flaccid> !codecs

[03:30] <flaccid> you read the first link about what to install..
[03:31] <dennister> scooter_: flaccid is one of the gurus/channel operators here...i'll leave you to his good care
[03:31] <scooter_> so is this the right command?
[03:31] <scooter_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:32] <flaccid> i'd do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:32] <scooter_> it says "couldnt find package" for both commands
[03:33] <flaccid> !info kubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <ubotu> kubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB
[03:33] <flaccid> are you on gutsy with the multiverse repos enabled?
[03:33] <TyFuZ^^> can my problems with the desktop have something with my Ati Radeon 9700 Pro graph card?
[03:33] <scooter_> i dont even know
[03:33] <scooter_> i have no idea what im doing
[03:33] <flaccid> what version of ubuntu did you install?
[03:34] <scooter_> im using kubuntu
[03:34] <TyFuZ^^> i've read that many have problems with kubunt while having Ati cards?
[03:35] <flaccid> TyFuZ^^: im not sure your exact problem. im on ati radeon 9600 atm
[03:35] <TyFuZ^^> okey hmm :/
[03:35]  * naelr loves Kubuntu!
[03:37] <dennister> naelr: welcome to the club
[03:38] <dennister> flaccid: perhaps TyFuZ^^ installation hasn't recognized his mouse properly? perhaps a sudo dpkg --configure (from the the xorg file)
[03:38] <flaccid> i guess scooter had a panic attack
[03:38] <flaccid> i dont understand the behaviour..
[03:40] <TyFuZ^^> what is the xorg file?
[03:41] <naelr> well I have loved KDE for 10 years.. but kubuntu has become my distro of choice since edgy
[03:41] <flaccid> naelr: kde runs fastest on kde :)
[03:41] <flaccid> err freebsd i mean
[03:41] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: u say ur mouse is a standard ms optical one?
[03:41] <genii> TyFuZ^^: Basically, video settings file.   man xorg.conf    for more
[03:42] <TyFuZ^^> yeah
[03:42] <naelr> haha
[03:42]  * naelr can't stand freebsd
[03:42]  * flaccid wonders why
[03:42] <naelr> dunno...
[03:42] <TyFuZ^^> standard MS optical
[03:42] <naelr> tried it and just couldn't stand it ... it grated one me.. kinda like vista does
[03:42] <flaccid> does the mouse work at all?
[03:42] <TyFuZ^^> yeah
[03:43] <flaccid> naelr: probably didn't know how to use it
[03:43] <TyFuZ^^> i've used it in windows
[03:43] <naelr> dunno never tried to use the mouse... was making a router with it
[03:43] <flaccid> freebsd are solid routers
[03:43] <naelr> oh haha yea I knew what I was doing .. it just had a weird turn and I didn't like it
[03:43] <naelr> runing pfsense now ...
[03:43]  * flaccid has no idea what a 'weird turn' is
[03:43] <dennister> flaccid: perhaps TyFuZ^^ should use this line to confugre mouse properly? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:44] <flaccid> dennister: that is assuming that the xorg.conf is incorrect atm. i guess it wouldn't hurt..
[03:44] <naelr> just small things like the name of network devices...
[03:44] <flaccid> TyFuZ^^: what does dmesg say when you plug the mouse in
[03:45] <flaccid> naelr: yeah its better than linux in that respect
[03:45] <naelr> x10....
[03:45] <dennister> try it TyFuZ^^...u'll get a series of dialog boxes, read carefully thru series, esp. about mice
[03:45] <flaccid> linux logical names fail a lot, bios ones don't..
[03:45] <naelr> yea it just bothered me ....  I should prolly give it another chance... my router has never been better since I started using pfsense..
[03:47] <TyFuZ^^> it says nothing
[03:47] <naelr> used to be pure debian
[03:47] <flaccid> pfsense is freebsd...
[03:47] <naelr> yes I know
[03:47] <naelr> that is what I am saying
[03:47] <flaccid> sweet
[03:47] <naelr> it is .. alot sweeter then it used to be with pure debian..
[03:48] <flaccid> m0n0wall is your best appliance solution for router
[03:48] <naelr> isn't that what it uses...
[03:48] <naelr> or a slightly modified version
[03:48] <naelr> based on m0n0wall
[03:48] <flaccid> i didn't even know you could get it on debian
[03:48] <flaccid> its derived from m0n0wall
[03:48] <naelr> oh not on debian.. no I was using .. um shorewall
[03:48] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: u mean 'nothing' from dmesg?
[03:48] <flaccid> its just an extension to the pf packet filter..
[03:49] <flaccid> i use ipfw usually..
[03:49] <naelr> and traffic shaping wow does it work better in freebsd
[03:49] <flaccid> yeah
[03:49] <TyFuZ^^> what's dmesg?
[03:49] <xsacha> help, i installed kde4 packages on kubuntu gutsy and now my package manager is FUBAR: http://pastebin.ca/800128
[03:49] <TyFuZ^^> it says nothing when i insert the mouse
[03:49] <flaccid> TyFuZ^^: it prints the kernel ring buffer
[03:49] <xsacha> no matter what i do (even using -f) it says this
[03:50] <naelr> yea I had that happen once... it sucked...
[03:50] <naelr> ya know what I ended up doing
[03:50] <flaccid> TyFuZ^^: what does dmesg | grep -i mouse return ?
[03:50] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: just type 'dmesg <enter>' into a terminal
[03:50] <xsacha> naelr: reinstalling?
[03:50] <naelr> backing up my /home dir and reinstalling hahahahah
[03:50] <dennister> flaccid's better
[03:50] <xsacha> :(
[03:50] <TyFuZ^^> okey
[03:50] <naelr> yup.. I messed with it for days... they say anything is fixable but that one really got my goat
[03:51] <naelr> flaccid any ideas?
[03:51] <xsacha> well i want them to try and fix this :O looks pretty stuffed
[03:51] <flaccid> ideas on what
[03:51] <xsacha> reproducable every time: try to install kde4 packages
[03:52] <naelr> xsacha's pastbin
[03:52] <TyFuZ^^> i  tried the dmesg command
[03:52] <TyFuZ^^> and a lot of shit showed up

[04:09] <davidrawson> WOW! FL Studio Has Surprisingly High Compatability With Wine!!!!
[04:10] <naelr> can anyone suggest a package that might get my atheros wireless card
[04:10] <naelr> nope never heard of it
[04:10] <xsacha> davidrawson: wouldnt be surprised. crysis and hellgate: london run on wine even
[04:12] <zhopoyeb> anyone using gutsy around?
[04:12] <maduser> yeah
[04:12] <maduser> why?
[04:12] <TyFuZ^^> it couldnt get bitch x
[04:13] <naelr> sudo apt-get install bitchx
[04:13] <zhopoyeb> how can i change the default media player ( kaffeine ) to something else?
[04:13] <maduser> ummm
[04:13] <naelr> no space
[04:13] <zhopoyeb> i want to change it to kmplayer
[04:13] <davidrawson> Wonder if macromedia flash cs3 will work on wine :/
[04:14] <naelr> zhopoyeb: right click on the media you want to open
[04:14] <naelr> go to properties
[04:14] <naelr> click the little wrench next to the type line
[04:15] <davidrawson> FL Studio's faster on wine than it is on windows itself!
[04:15] <naelr> move the app you want up.. in the application preference order
[04:15] <flaccid> yeah because its not windows lol
[04:15] <maduser> yeah
[04:15] <flaccid> a real OS
[04:15] <naelr> zhopoyeb: did ya get all that?
[04:16] <zhopoyeb> naelr yeah thanks man
[04:16] <naelr> there is a more central place to do it for all application types but I just do one at a time like taht
[04:16] <davidrawson> Linux beat windows at it's own game.
[04:16] <zhopoyeb> naelr kaffeine just isn't what it use to be, =(
[04:17] <maduser> or has it?
[04:17] <naelr> zhopoyeb haha
[04:17] <TyFuZ^^> done
[04:17] <davidrawson> I'm going to take wine up to the next level with Flash CS3....
[04:17] <TyFuZ^^> i've pasted it onto pastebin
[04:17] <dennister> davidrawson: that's because 75% of ur system's memory is wasted by winblows
[04:17] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: what's the url of ur pastebin?
[04:17] <maduser> !pastebin
[04:17] <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)
[04:17] <BluesKaj> naelr, I think that may be a global commnd
[04:18] <TyFuZ^^> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46064
[04:18] <zhopoyeb> davidrawson I was reading up on some forums today about installing adobe cs3 and all the threads said it didn't install right
[04:18] <davidrawson> I seen that using windows, dennister.....windows sacrafices performance for....nothing
[04:18] <TyFuZ^^> i pasted both lsusb and dmesg
[04:18] <zhopoyeb> davidrawson with wine that is
[04:18] <naelr> BluesKaj: it is global but there used to be somewhere you can pick all your different file type and pick their apps
[04:19] <davidrawson> I could also try VirtualBox if it doesnt work....
[04:19] <davidrawson> I heard of this "crossover" too...
[04:20] <zhopoyeb> crossover will do the job, but its going to cost you
[04:20] <BluesKaj> yeah, konq I think, naelr
[04:20] <davidrawson> money?
[04:20] <TyFuZ^^> found anything?
[04:20] <zhopoyeb> crossover yea it cost money
[04:20] <davidrawson> I didn't think anything for linux would cost money,,,
[04:20] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: well now u know how to pastebin...congrats :)
[04:20] <TyFuZ^^> haha xD
[04:20] <TyFuZ^^> it's hard when i use 2 comps xD
[04:21] <naelr> I dunno maybe it isn't installed by defalut in kubuntu...
[04:21] <TyFuZ^^> i had to memorize the entire url xD
[04:21] <zhopoyeb> http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxoffice/
[04:21] <davidrawson> What is JScript?
[04:21] <zhopoyeb> rather pricey
[04:21] <davidrawson> Javascript?
[04:22] <dennister> now we need to do another pastebin with just terminal's results from: dmesg | grep -i mouse...u shouldn't have to memorize anything
[04:22] <Zombocom> sorry to bother everyone
[04:22] <Zombocom> what's the command to reconfigre the X server...
[04:22] <Zombocom> I need it... again...
[04:22] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: u should be able to start firefox from terminal by just typing in 'firefox'
[04:22] <davidrawson> Gonna virtualize Vista in VirtualBox....
[04:23] <Zombocom> davidrawson: tell me how that works out, I'm interested
[04:23] <naelr> ok any suggestions to getting my atheros wireless working
[04:23] <davidrawson> when a driver is installed, do I have to restart the entire system or just log out and log back in
[04:23] <dennister> Zombocom: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:23] <zhopoyeb> davidrawson good luck, Vista is already dead slow, can't imagine it in a virtual mode
[04:23] <Zombocom> thank you dennister!
[04:23] <davidrawson> It **Might** work
[04:24] <davidrawson> Or XP sounds more realistic
[04:24] <zhopoyeb> xp will be fine
[04:24] <BluesKaj> Zombocom, do yourself a favour and make a desktop textfile with commands pasted in it so you can copy and paste them into the required shell or texteditor when needed
[04:24] <dennister> xp's better than vista! some drm but not as much
[04:24] <Zombocom> wait dennister why the -phigh
[04:25] <zhopoyeb> but i dual boot because as much as i hate to admit it, I need windows to game
[04:25] <davidrawson> Vista's okay when it's installed...and nothing else.....
[04:25] <Zombocom> BluesKaj: I do, but I can't open the file in a terminal because it includes spaces
[04:25] <BluesKaj> Zombocom, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:25] <dennister> Zombocom: have no idea...that's just what /etc/X11/xorg.conf file says to do
[04:25]  * naelr reluctently agrees with zhopoyeb
[04:25] <davidrawson> I dualboot too, windows for non-wine compatable programs, linux for everything else....even linux for windows!
[04:26] <dennister> zhopoyeb: i now only need winblows to do my taxes once a year
[04:26]  * zhopoyeb naelr =)
[04:26] <hydrogen> virtualbox++
[04:26] <dennister> and as a backup to watch tv when my linux installations aren't working properly
[04:26] <TyFuZ^^> new one dennister http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46065
[04:26] <dennister> like now :(
[04:27] <Zombocom> why does xorg tell me to write it sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:27] <Zombocom> what is -phigh?
[04:27] <davidrawson> Windows is okay once you......spend hours configuring it.....and after a month....having to reinstall windows due to it's slowing for no reason....stupid system restore takes up so much disk space........windows is BI-POLAR

[04:41] <TyFuZ^^> hmm.. it's something about the graphics driver
[04:42] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: yes, and it will go through lots of hardware questions b4 getting to the mouse part
[04:42] <TyFuZ^^> like if i want it to find the drivers automaticly or if i want to specify
[04:42] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: what kind of graphics card do u have?
[04:42] <TyFuZ^^> shall i pick the yes button on until i come to the mouse config?
[04:43] <TyFuZ^^> I have a Ati Radeon 9700 Pro 128Mb
[04:43] <TyFuZ^^> or should i choose no?
[04:43] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: ok, open up another terminal window and type in: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:44] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: u will find lots of info on your graphics card there in that file, and use as ur guide for the dialog boxes
[04:45] <TyFuZ^^> okey :P
[04:45] <TyFuZ^^> so i should pick the manual install istead of the automatic search?
[04:46] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: no, u can try the automatic...what does the dialog box give u as the default graphics driver?
[04:47] <dennister> mine gave me 'vesa' but i just used the arrow buttons to scroll up to the nvidia, cause that's what i have...u should get an ati option
[04:48] <xsacha> hey, the kde4 packages for kubuntu do not include the 'startkde' script to actually.. run it
[04:48] <TyFuZ^^> ati
[04:49] <TyFuZ^^> it found ati for me
[04:49] <dennister> see :)
[04:49] <TyFuZ^^> now i'm at the mouse
[04:49] <TyFuZ^^> it asks which port it should use
[04:49] <dennister> keep going...it'll be a little while b4 u get to the Mouse port dialog
[04:49] <TyFuZ^^> I'm at that place
[04:50] <TyFuZ^^> it asks which mouse port i should use
[04:50] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: ok, 'dev/input/mice should be fine
[04:51] <TyFuZ^^> and then?
[04:51] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: ImPs/2
[04:51] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: then Emulate 3 button mouse? choose yes
[04:51] <TyFuZ^^> okey ^^
[04:52] <TyFuZ^^> then it asks Write down standard something to the file or something
[04:52] <dennister> then just keep going to what sounds logical...until ur done, and then restart x by going Ctrl+alt-backspace
[04:53] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: hold on a sec, i'm not there yet
[04:54] <TyFuZ^^> oopse :O
[04:54] <TyFuZ^^> i'm done and did restart
[04:54] <naelr> what is command to move to runlevel 3 and stop X
[04:54] <dennister> ok, restarted x, too with the ctrl-alt-backspace?
[04:55] <naelr> I need to install nvidia drivers.. how do I just stop X

[05:09] <TyFuZ^^> how do i get my kubuntu computer into the same network as my windows computer?
[05:10] <naelr> geeze I forgot how I hated this part
[05:10] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: with something called samba-server...which version of windows is on the network?
[05:10] <TyFuZ^^> Windows XP
[05:10] <dennister>  pro or home?
[05:10] <naelr> wow Dennister.. your getting a workout tonight :p
[05:11] <TyFuZ^^> pro
[05:11] <dennister> naelr: not me, hon...i'm usually somebody getting help, not giving it
[05:11] <dennister> and is it a home network? or business? how many pc's?
[05:12] <TyFuZ^^> it's a home network with 4-5computers
[05:12] <dennister> ok, good, you probably don't want a high level of security then...a simple share will work
[05:12] <TyFuZ^^> nah :P
[05:13] <TyFuZ^^> yeah :P
[05:13] <TyFuZ^^> just so i can access my Windows Computer and move all my music to the kubuntu one
[05:13] <dennister> k: sudo apt-get install samba-server (i think)
[05:15] <TyFuZ^^> cant find the package samba-server
[05:15] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: no, sorry
[05:15] <dennister> sudo apt-get install samba samba-doc
[05:16] <dennister> they changed the name on me...it's been a little while since i had need for samba
[05:16] <TyFuZ^^> hmm :O
[05:16] <TyFuZ^^> it says there is no Samba-doc but samba-common
[05:17] <dennister> no samba-doc? it's right here in my adept
[05:17] <dennister> yes, u will need samba-common, it'll get pulled in by 'samba' itself
[05:18] <yogich> Just upgraded from Gutsy --> Hardy, and now the sudo will not work. Nor will 'Admin Mode' in Control Ctr. What do I check?
[05:18] <dennister> but because i am very rusty on samba, i should hand u over to a more senior helper...samba-doc isn't absolutely necessary
[05:18] <Dr_willis> samba-doc package/docs are worth reading however. :P
[05:18] <Dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[05:18] <ubotu> samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB
[05:18] <TyFuZ^^> haha xD
[05:19] <TyFuZ^^> i kinda solved it xd
[05:19] <Tm_T> yogich: Hardy is not supported, period
[05:19] <dennister> TyFuZ^^: and Dr_willis is just the 'more senior helper' u need :)
[05:19] <yogich> Really!!??
[05:19] <TyFuZ^^> Well i solved it ;)
[05:19] <jughead> how can I change the default application in Dolphin?  I'd like vids to open with VLC not Kaffeine
[05:19] <yogich> That's interesting...
[05:20] <naelr> stupid kernel-devel
[05:20] <dennister> solved what?
[05:20] <dennister> did u capitalize Samba-doc? tsk tsk! linux is case-sensitive...
[05:21] <TyFuZ^^> nah xD
[05:21] <TyFuZ^^> i went into the systemsettings and configured it from there xD
[05:21] <dennister> and you now have access to ur windows network?
[05:21] <TyFuZ^^> Yeap :P
[05:21] <dennister> great!
[05:22] <dennister> like i said, it's been a coupla distributions ago since i've needed samba, and they keep making it easier...samba with xp home is a bi*ch
[05:23] <^kaminix> I get an "unable to register file bla bla" with a wine program, how do I fix it? :(
[05:23] <TyFuZ^^> aha :O
[05:23] <dennister> pretty soon you'll have your linux box all tricked out with everything u need
[05:24] <^kaminix> err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x7e5037b5  <-- Means what?
[05:24] <dennister> it's actually time for me to go to bed...night all
[05:24] <TyFuZ^^> Night ynight dennister and thanx for the help :D
[05:25] <dennister> no probs TyFuZ^^; remember, this is the whole purpose of the channel: for new users (and old hands) to get support
[05:25] <TyFuZ^^> Hehe :P
[05:30] <naelr> well got the graphics driver up and running.. still can't get wifi or my sound...
[05:38] <morphine> So I have a machine that needs restricted drivers installed on it, but can;t be connected to the internet until that gets installed
[05:39] <morphine> What do I need to download and copy over to it?
[05:39] <sparr> i would suggest the restricted modules package, plus all its dependencies
[05:39] <sparr> and maybe all their dependencies too
[05:40] <morphine> gah
[05:40] <morphine> Can I install it from the CD?
[05:40] <morphine> Isn't there a way to use the install CD as a repo?
[05:41] <Dr_willis> restricted drivers are not included on the cd..
[05:41] <Dr_willis> at least i dont think they are.
[05:41] <morphine> I think I need the madwifi drivers, and as I understand it that is part of the restricted drivers
[05:42] <morphine> But until the upgrade to gutsy, wifi always just worked
[05:48] <Dr_willis> theres some apt tools to grab packages  to aloow them to move over.. but i never use them
[05:48] <Dr_willis> I just use a long network cable. :)
[05:53] <crazy_bus> is there a backport to gutsy for the intel X.org 2.2.0 driver?
[05:55] <naelr> well morphine my wifi never worked fiesty or gutsy :(
[05:56] <cayetano1> good morning
[05:57] <cayetano1> how can i repair my graphik-modus on suse 10.2?
[05:59] <bazhang> cayetano1: best ask in #suse
[05:59] <cayetano1> thx, i thought i was there, sry
[06:00] <hydrogen> heh :)
[06:00] <bazhang> no biggie
[06:00] <Pollywog> anyone know why the first snapshot I took in virtualbox has software installed only yesterday?
[06:01] <Pollywog> vmware does not do that
[06:01] <Pollywog> a snapshot in vmware is actually a snapshot
[06:01] <Pollywog> it does not change
[06:01] <bazhang> is there a #vbox?
[06:06] <surgy> hi
[06:06] <surgy> i need a good, but stealthy keylogger preferably native to linux, kubuntu in particular, any ideas?
[06:07] <xsacha> surgy: xev
[06:07] <bazhang> surgy: what for?
[06:07] <Daisuke_Ido> you're either a) suspicious of your significant other, or b) curious what the kids do on the pc
[06:07] <surgy> bazhang: i have a few friends who like to come over and screw with my pc while im at work, i wanna keep an eye on them
[06:07] <xsacha> xeyes
[06:07] <surgy> xsacha: ? link?
[06:07] <bazhang> surgy: haha--good reason :}
[06:08] <xsacha> surgy: just run it
[06:08] <Daisuke_Ido> either one involves intimate relations with a member of the opposite sex, and you're using linux, so...  THAT can't be it </snarky comment on linux user stereotype>
[06:08] <surgy> lhhhh!xev
[06:08] <bazhang> xeyes is just a pair of eyes on the desktop :}
[06:08] <surgy> !xev
[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <xsacha> surgy: just alt+f2 and then run it
[06:08] <xsacha> xeyes
[06:08] <bazhang> !info xeyes
[06:08] <ubotu> xeyes: X client - xeyes. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.1-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 9 kB, installed size 60 kB
[06:09] <surgy> xsacha: su command is ./xeyes?
[06:09] <xsacha> surgy: just "xeyes"
[06:09] <xsacha> nothing else, it's that easy
[06:09] <surgy> xsacha: what is it? im not too keen on running unknown commands
[06:09] <xsacha> you dont need su
[06:09] <Daisuke_Ido> !xeyes
[06:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xeyes - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:09] <Daisuke_Ido> it's a pair of eyes
[06:09] <Daisuke_Ido> literally
[06:09] <surgy> oh
[06:09] <Daisuke_Ido> that follow the mouse movement
[06:09] <bazhang> just a joke surgy
[06:09] <surgy> not quite a keylogger?
[06:10] <surgy> lol
[06:10] <Daisuke_Ido> not even close
[06:10] <bazhang> !info xev
[06:10] <ubotu> xev: X client - xev. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 11 kB, installed size 68 kB
[06:10] <Daisuke_Ido> xev is what you're wanting on that
[06:10] <blankboy> how do i downgrade a package with out delete half my packages? i know the old version will work fine
[06:10] <xsacha> xev is a keylogger.. but not quite what he wants... Daisuke_Ido he wants to spy on people who use his comp
[06:11] <Daisuke_Ido> ah...
[06:11] <surgy> so?
[06:11] <Daisuke_Ido> hrmm
[06:11] <surgy> whats a good app?
[06:11] <Tm_T> why spying?
[06:11] <Tm_T> can't you just lock it
[06:11] <Daisuke_Ido> a good one would be "change your password and lock your session"
[06:11] <Tm_T> yup
[06:11] <Daisuke_Ido> that way they can't touch it
[06:12] <Daisuke_Ido> and you don't have to worry about it
[06:12] <surgy> yeah, but thats besides the point
[06:12] <surgy> i want to see what the apeal of using my computer is by logging what the do
[06:13] <xsacha> Daisuke_Ido: i think he wants them to use the computer but he wants to see what porn they look up
[06:13] <xsacha> what they do on computer yeah
[06:13] <Daisuke_Ido> sounds about right
[06:13] <surgy> yerp
[06:14] <surgy> exactly what i want
[06:14] <Daisuke_Ido> so...  ask.
[06:14] <surgy> so any ideas?
[06:14] <Daisuke_Ido> i smell honeypot
[06:15] <Daisuke_Ido> i actually don't know of any that would do what you're wanting
[06:15] <blankboy> copy his bookmarks ?
[06:15] <surgy> !lkl
[06:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lkl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <xsacha> do you just want web history? cause you can just save all of that you know
[06:15] <surgy> well i saw sometyhing called "lkl" or linux key logger but all the download links are busted, even the ones for rpm packages
[06:16] <surgy> no i want full access key logging
[06:16] <surgy> every event captured should be logged, and saved to a txt file
[06:16] <hydrogen> ehh
[06:16] <hydrogen> have fun writing a kernel driver for that!
[06:17]  * hydrogen isn't touching it
[06:17] <xsacha> if you edited xinput source, im sure you can manage that in an hour or so surgy
[06:17] <surgy> :)
[06:20] <surgy> kewl the lkl link worked :)
[07:23] <row> how do I get compiz to start with kde, at the moment I need to start compize via command line.

[07:37] <flaccid> install restricted-manager
[07:37] <jessy_james> buona giornata a tutti
[07:37] <sigma> does anyone have a prebuilt deb package for quasar accounting?

[08:06] <kraut> moin
[08:18] <posingaspopular> how do i exit a man page in terminal?
[08:24] <Perseid> OK. Upgraded to gutsy and now the NVidia drivers don't work. "API mismatch: NVidia driver component has version 100.14.19 but nvidia kernel module version does not match."
[08:24] <posingaspopular> ah 'q' it is
[08:24] <spiroo> Is there any chat to discuss kde?
[08:24] <spiroo> *channel
[08:25] <posingaspopular> #kde of course
[08:25] <posingaspopular> ;p
[08:25] <spiroo> is it okay do discuss about it there, or do you have to have a question?
[08:32] <posingaspopular> ask away spiroo
[08:32] <corinth> I have a couple of questions tonight:
[08:33] <corinth> First, there are two icons for my external drive on my desktop. How can I fix this?
[08:35] <needhelp> Hi! I need your help. Iam collecting points in page listed below. If you be so kind, please click url below. http://www.3dwhite.lt/?click=56a3cdcf22ccc7ab5f0a7f4d2bc900ff
[08:37] <RockHound> good day ...
[08:38] <RockHound> I am struggling with a sudo issue here. I have added a second user to my machine with the same group membership as my installation added user. I can run sudo fine but kdesu just dies without executing or erroring out... is there a known solution for this?
[08:38] <RockHound> machine is gutsy btw
[08:39] <corinth> I installed ubuntu gutsy, and then kubuntu gutsy from apt-get. How can I get the default kubuntu logon screen?
[08:40] <RockHound> apt-get install kubuntu-default-artwork IIRC
[08:40] <corinth> RockHound: Will that enable it automatically? If not, how do I?
[08:41] <RockHound> it should
[08:41] <socketErr> there are any tools to manage the deb packages on a big server farm?
[08:42] <corinth> RockHound: Also, apt-get install kubuntu-default-artwork IIRC returns 'E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-default-artwork'
[08:42] <RockHound> corinth: hang on
[08:43] <RockHound> kubuntu-default-settings
[08:43] <RockHound> and IIRC mean "if I remember correctly"
[08:43] <RockHound> so don't include that in the command
[08:44] <corinth> RockHound: Haha, sorry. Thanks.
[08:44] <corinth> RockHound: It is already installed.
[08:45] <RockHound> hmmm
[08:46] <RockHound> corinth: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" and select kdm
[08:48] <corinth> RockHound: Thanks, let me logout to test it.
[08:48] <RockHound> you need to restart the X server
[08:48] <RockHound> reboot would be best
[08:48] <RockHound> or easiest
[08:51] <ardchoille> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
[08:51] <ardchoille> No need for a reboot
[08:59] <meta_> Hey. I need some help please with my wireless card. I installed the broadcom driver for Linux using the instructions on the Ubuntu website... But it seems to be very unreliable and I would like to install using ndiswrapper.
[08:59] <meta_> That isn't the problem.
[09:00] <meta_> I would like to know if I need to uninstall the native driver, and if so, how?
[09:00] <corinth> RockHound: Thanks, that did it.
[09:00] <corinth> Anyone know if there is a .deb for Firefox 3 Beta1 yet?
[09:02] <_4strO> corinth: yes there is one
[09:02] <meta_> Can anyone help me?
[09:02] <corinth> _4strO: WHere can I find it? I searched.
[09:02] <RockHound> corinth: personally, I don't recommend it
[09:02] <RockHound> ff 3b1
[09:02] <ardchoille> corinth: it's in the repos: apt-cache search --names-only firefox
[09:03] <meta_> I tested Firefox in PCLinuxOS. It crashed when loading Java.
[09:03] <meta_> Generally it is faster though.
[09:03] <meta_> Can anyone help me?!
[09:04] <meta_> :(]
[09:04] <_4strO> corinth: firefox-3.0 | 3.0~alpha8+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 | http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages
[09:04] <corinth> _4strO: I saw that, I'm looking for the beta1, not the alpha8.
[09:05] <meta_> corinth: Manually compile it. It's really easy.
[09:05] <corinth> meta_: Thanks. I'm still a bit unsure about compiling things, but I'll give it a go.
[09:05] <_4strO> ha ok
[09:06] <meta_> http://www.aboutdebian.com/compile.htm
[09:07] <Teapot> Can someone help me now please?
[09:07] <corinth> Teapot: With what?
[09:07] <Teapot> corinth: I sent you a link to help. :D
[09:07] <corinth> Thanks ;-)
[09:07] <Teapot> Hey. I need some help please with my wireless card. I installed the broadcom driver for Linux using the instructions on the Ubuntu website... But it seems to be very unreliable and I would like to install using ndiswrapper.
[09:08] <Teapot> I would like to know if I need to uninstall the native driver, and if so, how?
[09:08] <Teapot> (Quotes of what I said earlier)
[09:09] <Teapot> To be fair, my problem isn't that the native driver doesn't work. It does, but only sometimes for some bizare reason.
[09:09] <Teapot> corinth: If you extract the zip file, open Konsole then type.
[09:10] <Teapot> cd <directory-of-extracted-files>
[09:10] <Teapot> ./configure && make && make install
[09:10] <Teapot> That should work.
[09:11] <corinth> Teapot: It says bashe: ./configure: No such file or directory
[09:11] <ardchoille> You'll need sudo for the make install
[09:11] <corinth> *bash
[09:12] <Teapot> ardchoille: Good point. I always forget that!
[09:12] <Teapot> corinth: If there's no ./configure then forget about configure and just do make && make install
[09:13] <corinth> Teapot: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[09:13] <ardchoille> corinth: What are you sompiling?
[09:13] <corinth> ardchoille: Firefox 3 beta 1
[09:14] <ardchoille> corinth: Are you in the directory of the sources?
[09:14] <corinth> ardchoille: The folder I extracted from the tar.bz2?
[09:14] <ardchoille> yes
[09:14] <Teapot> Yes.
[09:14] <corinth> Yes
[09:15] <Teapot> Better idea.
[09:15] <Teapot> Just to be sure, go to that directory in Konqueror and go Tools > Open Terminal.
[09:16] <ardchoille> corinth: Is it already compiled? ls firefox
[09:16] <corinth> ardchoille: I don't think so. I have firefox 2.0.10 installed.
[09:16] <Teapot> As for my idea, forget it. Lol. It appears that Kubuntu doesn't have that...
[09:16] <ThusLex> anyone know why i cant get internet on my ubuntu 7.04 wireless???
[09:16]  * ruessel is away: Zur Zeit nicht da.
[09:17] <Teapot> ThusLex: Wireless is the main Linux issue. What's your wireless card?
[09:17] <ThusLex> how do i check?
[09:17] <ardchoille> !away > ruessel[AFK]
[09:18] <Teapot> Hmmm... That I wouldn't know... I always use HardDrake in PCLinuxOS...
[09:18] <ThusLex> brb
[09:18] <Teapot> Are you using a wired connection for your laptop at the moment?
[09:20] <funcrush> what is difference compiz from beryl?
[09:20] <Tm_T> !beryl
[09:20] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[09:20] <Tm_T> !compiz
[09:20] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[09:21] <funcrush> thanks all
[09:21] <corinth> Hey, I figured it out.
[09:22] <corinth> No need to compile it, just launch the firefox.ss
[09:22] <Teapot> Really? Neat. It's like LimeWire... Just click runLime.sh
[09:22] <corinth> Teapot: Yep :-)
[09:23] <corinth> Now, on to my next issue.
[09:23] <corinth> Lol.
[09:23] <Teapot> Lmao.
[09:23] <Teapot> What's that?
[09:23] <corinth> Oh, I have issues ;-)
[09:23] <corinth> You see, I love Ubuntu, but I also love KDE.
[09:23] <corinth> Kubuntu seems the obvious choice, right?
[09:23] <Teapot> Indeed.
[09:23] <corinth> Well, it doesn't run as smoothly for me.
[09:24] <Tm_T> yes?
[09:24] <corinth> Let's see how many of my issues we can resolve, lol.
[09:24] <Teapot> Hmmm... Maybe you could try Ubuntu then type kubuntu --desktop into a terminal?
[09:24] <Teapot> Or not.
[09:24] <Teapot> Well, let's hear 'em. Lol.
[09:24] <corinth> Lol.
[09:24] <Tm_T> Teapot: erm, whattaa
[09:25] <Teapot> Tm_T: It's a trick to get Kubuntu from an Ubuntu install.
[09:25] <Teapot> Or, near enough anyway.
[09:25] <Tm_T> not even near
[09:25] <corinth> Yeah, I installed kubuntu with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:25] <Tm_T> yes
[09:26] <corinth> In Ubuntu, my volume + and - keys worked without configuration. In Kubuntu, volume + and - only toggles between 0% and 11%, without actually changing the volume.
[09:26] <Teapot> I shall show you.
[09:26] <Tm_T> Teapot: you what?
[09:26] <corinth> I tried to set my + and - volume keys as the shortcuts for volume up and down, but it didn't work.
[09:26] <Tm_T> corinth: it does change volume here
[09:27] <corinth> Tm_T: Hmm?
[09:27] <Teapot> Wait. Lol. This computer is rubbish. Hard drive damage and 256mb RAM leaves this computer nearly dead it's so slow.
[09:27] <funcrush> Can I get the web page for more information about compiz and beryl??
[09:27] <Tm_T> !compiz | funcrush
[09:27] <ubotu> funcrush: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[09:27] <funcrush> ubotu : thank you!!!
[09:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you!!! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <Tm_T> corinth: you mean it doesn't affect at all?
[09:29] <corinth> Tm_T: yes
[09:29] <Tm_T> interesting
[09:29] <Tm_T> corinth: check kmix settings
[09:30] <Tm_T> corinth: so it is using a right device etc
[09:30] <corinth> Tm_t: If I set other keys as the volume shortcuts, it works. However, it doesn't show the graphical voule + and - bar.
[09:30] <Tm_T> interesting
[09:30] <Tm_T> volume shortcuts of what?
[09:30] <corinth> Hmm?
[09:30] <corinth> Oh, volume up, down, and mute.
[09:30] <Tm_T> yes, but what app
[09:31] <Teapot> I was wrong. I apologise. Close though. :D Lol.
[09:31] <Tm_T> Teapot: you can usually trust my word
[09:31] <corinth> Tm_T: Global shortcuts.
[09:31] <Tm_T> corinth: of what app
[09:32] <Teapot> I am a (K)ubuntu noob.
[09:32] <corinth> I'm not sure what you mean. KMix, maybe?
[09:32] <Tm_T> corinth: hmm, where did you set these settings?
[09:32] <Teapot> I'm normally a PCLinuxOS user.
[09:32] <Tm_T> Teapot: I'm not ;)
[09:33] <corinth> Tm_T: KMix - Settings - Configure Global Shortcuts
[09:33] <Tm_T> corinth: ah, that's Kmix then
[09:33] <Tm_T> corinth: interesting that it doesn't show OSD then
[09:34] <Teapot> Kde developer.... I'm in awwww....
[09:34] <corinth> Tm_T: Yeah, and that it won't work with my volume + and - keys. I'm figuring that some other volume setting in Kubuntu is using it, whatever uses the OSD. Maybe
[09:34] <Tm_T> corinth: hmmm, it sort of uses Kmix but not directly
[09:34] <Tm_T> corinth: so it should work rightaway, interesting
[09:35] <corinth> Tm_T: Yeah.
[09:36] <corinth> Oh well, on to the next issue.
[09:36] <corinth> KWin is nice, but I prefer compiz-fusion.
[09:36] <corinth> I have it installed and working, save one issue.
[09:36] <corinth> In ubuntu it works fine.
[09:36] <corinth> In Kubuntu, it multiplies the number of desktops I have x2 in the pager applet.
[09:37] <corinth> The second one, respectively, doesn't work when clicked on.
[09:40] <corinth> Nevermind about that, actually.
[09:42] <Teapot> Be back soon! Hopefully...
[09:42] <hangthedj> wow, #ubuntu is overwhealming
[09:46] <corinth> Global question:
[09:46] <corinth> What's your favorite window decoration for kwin?
[09:48] <hangthedj> whats yours
[09:48] <corinth> Out of the defaults, plastik.
[09:48] <corinth> I'm wondering if there is anything much better out there, though, Plastik is getting a bit old for me.
[09:48] <ardchoille> kwin-baghira
[09:52] <corinth> Looked at it, but I'm not really a fan of the os x look.
[09:52] <ardchoille> I seem to be the only one left, lol
[09:52] <corinth> Lol
[09:53] <Tm_T> corinth: B2
[09:54] <Tm_T> corinth: http://www.tm-travolta.net/shots/current.png
[09:54] <Tm_T> I know, ugly, that's actually intended
[09:55] <corinth> What a coincidence, I downloaded that SW galaxy map today, lol.
[09:56] <Tm_T> :/
[09:56] <corinth> Lol.
[09:58] <bazhang> corinth: kbfx menu to replace kmenu and superkaramba and tons of addons
[09:59] <ThusLex> teapot u there?
[09:59] <corinth> bazhang: I use the kicker from suse 10.2/3 anyway.
[09:59] <momal> permission denied to scd0, permissions are set and i am in the cdrom usergroup. but still can't access media:/scd0 (running 7.10) after an automount from putting in the dvd.
[09:59] <corinth> bazhang: What is superkaramba, though?
[09:59] <bazhang> corinth: ah a kicker fan :}
[09:59] <momal> !superkaramba
[09:59] <ubotu> superkaramba is an application that gives you interactive eye-candy on your desktop. To get themes for it, head over to http://kde-look.org
[09:59] <corinth> bazhang: addicted :-)
[10:00] <corinth> Kind of like screenlets?
[10:00] <bazhang> corinth: you can check out at kde-look.org some of the superkaramba plugins/addons--it's available in the repos--err widgets I now recall
[10:01] <bazhang> corinth: and ubotu agrees it's good as well :}
[10:01] <corinth> Hehe
[10:02] <corinth> I searched for superkaramba in adept, nothing.
[10:03]  * Tm_T likes KDE without SK and other bloats
[10:03] <bazhang> corinth: I believe the apt-cache search turns it up
[10:04] <corinth> should apt-get install superkaramba work?
[10:04] <Tm_T> !superkaramba
[10:04] <ubotu> superkaramba is an application that gives you interactive eye-candy on your desktop. To get themes for it, head over to http://kde-look.org
[10:04] <bazhang> well, it is a bloat, but less troublesome than compiz :}
[10:04] <Tm_T> !info superkaramba
[10:04] <ubotu> superkaramba: a program based on karamba improving the eyecandy of KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 533 kB, installed size 1424 kB
[10:04] <Tm_T> bazhang: I don't use compiz either
[10:04] <bazhang> corinth: that will do it
[10:05] <bazhang> Tm_T: I have to have a tiny bit of eye candy :}
[10:05] <row> What is the "super" button?
[10:05] <hangthedj> i think its just sudo apt-get install superkaramba
[10:05] <bazhang> row: windows
[10:05] <row> ah windows
[10:05] <row> I was right just pressing wrong combo
[10:05] <row> :P
[10:05] <Tm_T> bazhang: erm, I do have a lot actually
[10:05] <bazhang> Tm_T: conky, or other?
[10:06] <Tm_T> conky is one, but that's not the "candy" part
[10:06] <bazhang> ok
[10:07] <Tm_T> KDE itself has abilities to lots of good look, just fiddle about
[10:24] <corinth> How can I get my desktop launchers (home folder, external drive) to open in dolphin when launching them?
[10:26] <poison--> morning guys
[10:28] <corinth> Is it possible to scale superkaramba widgets?
[10:29] <SSJ_GZ> corinth: I don't think so, no, unless the applet was specifically written to allow it.
[10:29] <corinth> Gotcha, thanks.
[10:30] <SSJ_GZ> corinth: np :)
[10:31] <SatManUK> i have installed all the java updates on the computer afaik, and i have installed firefox java plugin 1.4 - but when i try to open a java site it still says the plugin is misiing - any suggestions?
[10:31] <SatManUK> how do i actually get firefox to detect its plug in.
[10:31] <corinth> Where is dolphin located in the file directory?
[10:32] <SatManUK> im removing it and reinstalling it to see if it fixes the problem
[10:33] <hangthedj> i had a huge problem with this, as my time sheet for work is all java, i decided to install ubuntu on my laptop instead of kubuntu (still run kubuntu on the desktop) and it worked fine.
[10:33] <hangthedj> not sure what the difference is
[10:35] <stdin> SatManUK: which java package did you install?
[10:35] <SatManUK> java 5 j
[10:35] <SatManUK> jre
[10:36] <SatManUK> and mozilla java plugin 1.4
[10:36] <SatManUK> java works on konqueror but it doesn't display my java upload script properly
[10:36] <SatManUK> it can't view the contents of a directory
[10:36] <poison--> !compiz
[10:36] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[10:36] <stdin> SatManUK: you'll probably have better luck with "sun-java6-plugin"
[10:37] <corinth> I can't get kaffeine to play my dvd movie.
[10:39] <SatManUK> thanks for that.. working now cheers stdin
[10:39] <stdin> SatManUK: no problem :)
[10:40] <poison--> corinth, did u instaled the codecs?
[10:40] <stdin> corinth: have you installed libdvdread3, libdvdnav4 and libdvdcss2 ?
[10:40] <poison--> beated u stdin :D
[10:41] <stdin> poison--: but I gave the package names ;)
[10:41] <poison--> true, true
[10:41] <poison--> eheheh
[10:41] <corinth> stdin: yes, yes, and yes.
[10:41] <stdin> so what does kaffeine say when you try to play it ?
[10:42] <poison--> corinth, try to change the engine of kaffeine to opengl
[10:42] <poison--> i had the same issue, i ended installing kmplayer and mplayer, and all got fixed
[10:42] <corinth> poison: It only has kaffeine-xine
[10:43] <poison--> think kmplayer lets u change to opengl tho
[10:43] <corinth> stdin: It doesn't say anything, it just freezes.
[10:44] <poison--> humm, dats not a codec issue than
[10:44] <poison--> corinth, can u try MPlayer?
[10:45] <corinth> poison: let me try
[10:48] <ThusLex> hello?
[10:49] <hangthedj> !hi
[10:49] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[10:49] <ThusLex> someone must know how to get my ubuntu 7.04 to work with wireless internet on my laptop????
[10:50] <Tm_T> !wifi | ThusLex
[10:50] <ubotu> ThusLex: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:51] <ThusLex> how do i find out my wireless card?
[10:51] <Tm_T> lspci in konsole
[10:51] <hangthedj> you should be able to do something like lspci|grep wireless
[10:51] <Tm_T> aye
[10:52] <hangthedj> ahh
[10:52] <hangthedj> lspci|grep ethernet
[10:52] <hangthedj> and look for the 802
[10:53] <ThusLex> but in windows how do i do it?
[10:53] <corinth> Sorry, who was I just talking to about Kaffeine crashing with my DVDs?
[10:53] <hangthedj> ipconfig /all
[10:53] <ThusLex> if i culd get internet on ubuntu i would do it  but since i cant i need to sort it out on vista...
[10:54] <ThusLex> how do i find out what my wireless card is in vista?
[10:54] <hangthedj> err Start -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig /all
[10:54] <hangthedj> its been awhile, but i think that should do it
[10:55] <ThusLex> Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter is my wireless card right?
[10:55] <corinth> ThusLexx: yes
[10:55] <ThusLex> meh
[10:56] <ThusLex> its not on that site :(
[10:56] <ThusLex> my card
[10:56] <hangthedj> ThusLex are you running Gutsy?
[10:56] <ThusLex> no
[10:56] <ThusLex> im on vista at the moment
[10:57] <hangthedj> i mean did it not work on gutsy?
[10:57] <ThusLex> did what not work on gutsy?
[10:57] <ThusLex> the internet?
[10:58] <hangthedj> Your wireless card
[10:58] <ThusLex> well not that im aware of no
[10:58] <ThusLex> i tried it wireless
[10:58] <ThusLex> then it said it wasnt connected
[10:58] <hangthedj> and your running gutsy not fiesty?
[10:58] <ThusLex> and it had  two options: wired connection and manual connection or something like that
[10:58] <ThusLex> wired connection worked fine when i used a cable to the internet
[10:58] <ThusLex> gutsy is ubuntu 7.04 right?
[10:59] <hangthedj> gutsy is 7.10
[10:59] <hangthedj> feisty is 7.04
[10:59] <ThusLex> meh yeah i mean 7.04
[10:59] <ThusLex> wait
[10:59] <ThusLex> ah no i got 7.10
[10:59] <ThusLex> soz
[11:00] <ThusLex> so yeah i got gutsy
[11:00] <ThusLex> :p
[11:00] <hangthedj> my atheros works on gutsy
[11:00] <hangthedj> maybe try getting the sources to madwifi and compiling and installing them.
[11:00] <ThusLex> ook
[11:00] <hangthedj> i wrote a walkthrough for fiesty at www.geocities.com/sikofitt
[11:00] <hangthedj> it might work
[11:01] <hangthedj> maybe you have a newer card than me
[11:01] <ThusLex> http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Ubuntu
[11:01] <ThusLex> thats right isnti t?
[11:01] <ThusLex> isnt it
[11:01] <poison--> <ThusLex, try ndiswrapper
[11:01] <poison--> !ndiswrapper
[11:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:01] <poison--> worked perfect for me with that car
[11:01] <poison--> card*
[11:02] <hangthedj> Atheros doesn't need ndiswrapper madwifi supports it
[11:02] <poison--> <hangthedj, madwifi is good, but its not that easy
[11:02] <ThusLex> i went on that help.ubuntu site, doesnt have my card on it...
[11:03] <ThusLex> hm
[11:03] <poison--> <ThusLex, i used ndiswrapper with asus, acer and sony laptops
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: what card do you have?
[11:03] <ThusLex> gonna be kinda hard to download all these programs and things with no internet on linux :p
[11:03] <poison--> worked like a charme
[11:03] <ThusLex> erm
[11:03] <ThusLex> wait
[11:03] <ThusLex>  Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter
[11:03] <hangthedj> it is pretty easy, install build-essentals linux-headers-$(uname -r), compile, install
[11:03] <hangthedj> there you go
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: cant you used wired til you get your wireless setup?
[11:04] <ThusLex> the other computer is on the wire
[11:04] <hangthedj> ahh, mine is AR5006EG
[11:04] <ThusLex> and my mum is using it
[11:04] <hangthedj> new computer?
[11:04] <ThusLex> yeah
[11:04] <ThusLex> about 2 or 3 weeks old
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457852
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: its too new-a-card for madwifi (at present). Ndiswrapper will do you
[11:06] <ThusLex> ok
[11:06] <ThusLex> well brb
[11:06] <ThusLex> let me put mirc on the other computer so i sort this out
[11:06] <hangthedj> could always try the svn or cvs of madwifi .. pfft
[11:06] <hangthedj> i was joking
[11:06] <hangthedj> :p
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: Why not use XChat, its free
[11:08] <Tm_T> why not use all other free IRC clients aswell
[11:08] <hangthedj> bitchx!
[11:08] <Tm_T> irssi <3<3<3
[11:08] <hangthedj> :D
[11:09] <ThusLex> Atheros AR5007EG on Feisty Fawn (with ndiswrapper)
[11:09] <ThusLex> will it work with gutsy as well?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: Should be essentially the same. Just get it on wired and sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[11:09] <hangthedj> ThusLex, its worth a shot right?
[11:09] <ThusLex> yeah
[11:10] <ThusLex> just dont want to mess up the new laptop :p
[11:10] <ThusLex> dont fancing getting killed yet
[11:10] <hangthedj> well the wifi doesn't work now, so ....
[11:10] <ThusLex1> ok im now on the other computer
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: then follow the instructions to install the hardware using the windows inf file
[11:10] <poison--> <ThusLex, i think i have a how 2 here to install dat card
[11:10] <poison--> with ndiswrapper tho
[11:10] <ThusLex> ...
[11:10] <ThusLex> tell me poison--
[11:11] <hangthedj> or go to madwifi.org and see if the svn supports the new card
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf
[11:11] <poison--> that :D
[11:12] <ThusLex> hm wait, let me get linux up
[11:12] <poison--> u need the right driver tho
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: then start from step 7 as apt will install the ndiswrapper for you
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros#AtherosAR5007EG
[11:13] <ThusLex1> k
[11:14] <ThusLex1> ok linux is loading on the laptop now
[11:16] <ThusLex1> so i type sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf in linux right?
[11:16] <dread> 7leave
[11:17] <ThusLex1> ???
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex1: if that is the name of the inf file you have in your windows driver
[11:17] <ThusLex1> meh this is complicated
[11:17] <ThusLex1> what do i have to do first?
[11:17] <ThusLex1> get this ndiswrapper?
[11:17] <ThusLex1> or what?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex1: have you installed ndiswrapper?
[11:17] <poison--> <ThusLex1, find the windows driver first
[11:18] <ThusLex1> ok
[11:18] <ThusLex1> any idea how i do that?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex1: are you on a laptop?
[11:18] <poison--> dont u have the cd?

[11:52] <ActionParsnip> ThusLex: that's why its called a community

[11:55] <ActionParsnip> http://youtube.com/watch?v=XzMvrNxnMD8
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: ok cool
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: do you have ndis?
[11:55] <Thus_Lex> no
[11:55] <Thus_Lex> it says it couldnt find package
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: try ndiswrapper-common
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: and ndiswrapper-utils
[11:58] <hangthedj> 33.6 fax modem
[11:59] <Thus_Lex> ok the -common is working ActionParsnip
[11:59] <Thus_Lex> should i do the utils one?
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: yeah and get linux-headers too
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: and ndisgtk
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> Package ndiswrapper-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> is only available from another source
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> However the following packages replace it:
[12:00] <Thus_Lex>   ndiswrapper-common
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> E: Package ndiswrapper-utils has no installation candidate
[12:00] <Thus_Lex> ... ActionParsnip
[12:00] <stdin> Thus_Lex: it's "ndiswrapper-utils-1.9"
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: sup
[12:01] <Thus_Lex> ok doing that now
[12:01] <stdin> no need for linux-headers, just ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (ndisgtk for a GUI)
[12:02] <Thus_Lex> well ive just done headers
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> stdin: just read it on some site
[12:02] <Thus_Lex> ok
[12:02] <stdin> you aren't compiling anything, so no headers needed
[12:02] <Thus_Lex> installed them all
[12:02] <Thus_Lex> downloaded that driver file
[12:02] <Thus_Lex> now what?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: extract the3 files to your home folder some place
[12:03] <stdin> and we do have our own ndiswrapper guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[12:04] <Thus_Lex> ok ActionParsnip ive  done it...
[12:04] <Thus_Lex> extracted it
[12:04] <Thus_Lex> now what...
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: ok cd into the folder and run sudo ndiswrapper -i <some .inf file>
[12:05] <stdin> if you installed the GUI, use that
[12:05] <Thus_Lex> so i go to the terminal?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: youcan use terminal or the gui, your call
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: terminal imho is easier
[12:06] <Thus_Lex> for people that know how to use it
[12:06] <Thus_Lex> but im going to conquer it! :p
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: you dont use Konqueror to install it
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> you need to run ndisgtk
[12:07] <Thus_Lex> no i mean im going to master the terminal :D
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: ok
[12:07]  * stdin hopes ActionParsnip was making a pun then
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: ok fire up a terminal
[12:07] <Thus_Lex> well ive ran the .inf file with ndiswrapper...
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: you need to do it as a command afaik
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> sudo ndiswrapper -i <inf file name>
[12:08] <Thus_Lex> yes ive done it
[12:08] <im-a-n00b> hey all, looking for a new mobo for a linux box.. but want good linux compatibility.. i usually go asus.. but just wondering peoples thoughts.. hoping for a pciex16 gfx am2 chip and 2-4 gig of ram
[12:08] <Thus_Lex> it came up: forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: ok does ndiswrapper -l look ok (el not iy)
[12:08] <Thus_Lex> lots of time
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: should give {name of driver} driver present, hardware present
[12:09] <anto> When i try restarting my network "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" it says that eth0 does not exist
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: or similar
[12:09] <Thus_Lex> this comes up
[12:09] <Thus_Lex> net5211 : driver installed
[12:09] <Thus_Lex>         device (168C:001C) present (alternate driver: ath_pci)
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Thus_Lex: sweet
[12:09] <stdin> you should blacklist that ath_pci module too
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> stdin: does that look ok to you
[12:10] <stdin> ActionParsnip: yep
[12:10] <Thus_Lex> ok now what?
