[00:02]  * Kaevik plays the song...
[00:03] <Dark-Alien-Core> hello guys can you help me?
[00:03] <Dark-Alien-Core> The '/home/darkalien' directory does not belong to you.Point $HOME to your home directory and try again.darkalien@Dark:~$
[00:03] <Dark-Alien-Core> what is there wrongh
[00:03] <Dark-Alien-Core> ?
[00:04]  * dave11 thinks linux fps's are classically cool

[00:09] <Dr_willis> THen theres Savage. (i think)  Savage2 just got released commericlly. (i think thats the name)
[00:10] <Dr_willis> or do i have the name wrong.. You are like Warriors, and the commander guy builds  Up the town, and your men get upgraded..
[00:10] <dave11> huh, shows ive just nicked the surface of the linux gaming world
[00:10] <Dragnslcr> Yeah, I was looking at the Savage 2 site earlier
[00:10] <Dr_willis> FreeCiv, and FreeCol are my faves.
[00:11] <Dr_willis> Dragnslcr,  they got  linux fully supported yet?   I havent checked in on the game in a while.
[00:11] <dave11> i have alien areana and sauterbraten
[00:11] <Dr_willis> I wanted to buy it. but last i looked it was online only to buy. and  it was a little pricy.
[00:11] <Dragnslcr> I think the Linux client is supposed to be ready in a week or two
[00:11] <Dr_willis> Dragnslcr,  bummer. :)
[00:11] <Dragnslcr> $30
[00:11] <Dr_willis> 30 aint bad.. i was thinking it was 50
[00:12] <Dragnslcr> Linux client supposedly went into beta testing last week
[00:12] <dave11> there putting out commercial linux games?
[00:12] <teeahr1> Hey, anyone know how to find out what files foo.deb provides?
[00:12] <Dr_willis> dave11,  ther have been comerical linux games for ages.
[00:12] <Dr_willis> Just not lots and lots of them
[00:12] <dave11> lol..shows what i know..lol
[00:13] <Dr_willis> I have several metal-tin boxed sets of Quake3 for Linux. :)
[00:13] <Dr_willis> quake 1 and 2 also had linux native clients
[00:13] <Dr_willis> Then thers others.. Not as successfull ones.
[00:13] <Dr_willis> 'Darwinia' is a good one to pick up if you want somthing different.
[00:13] <dave11> where do you get them?
[00:14] <dave11> besides adept
[00:14] <dave11> can you buy then in stores?
[00:15] <Dr_willis> Online stores/websites often sell a downloadable version
[00:15] <IppatsuMan> teeahr1: dpkg -I foo.deb
[00:15] <Dr_willis> Often the windows packages in store - has a lineu client also.
[00:15] <dave11> ive never seen that and ive been gaming for 20 yrs
[00:16] <Dr_willis> Unreal Turnament had linux client on the cd's
[00:16] <Dr_willis> other games have also done that.
[00:16] <dave11> ohh ok
[00:16] <Dr_willis> NeverWintersNight had a linux client you could download
[00:16] <Kaevik> -s
[00:17] <Dr_willis> not sure about NWN2
[00:17] <dave11> cool.. a whole new aspect to explore thanks
[00:18] <matt1728> how do i get music to play on my headphones only and not headphones and speakers?
[00:18] <nosrednaekim> matt1728: find what channel in Kmix corresponds to your speakers and mute it
[00:19] <matt1728> channel?
[00:20] <nosrednaekim> channel.... it might be "surround" or PCM or Front or Speakers...
[00:21] <nosrednaekim> if you can't find one, right click on the main kmix window and select "channels" and enable them all and try again
[00:22] <matt1728> it say Master PCM Digital
[00:22] <matt1728> and if i get rid of master both sounds go go same thing with PCM
[00:22] <nosrednaekim> hmm
[00:23] <dave11> are there any other repositories i would want to install except cannonical's and medibuntu?
[00:24] <dave11> !repositories
[00:24] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[00:24] <Dr_willis> Thers dozens of unofficial repos. Depends on what you are looking for.
[00:24] <Dr_willis> many are for just a few specific apps.
[00:25] <r0dzilla_> anyone use mythbuntu?
[00:25] <Dr_willis> theres a latest wine repo, and some for specific games, and so forth
[00:25] <dave11> Dr_willis: thanks
[00:25] <matt1728> !headphones
[00:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about headphones - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:25] <r0dzilla_> I just updated my mythbuntu backend and I have frontend on my kubuntu desktop system
[00:25] <matt1728> what's mythbuntu?
[00:26] <matt1728> !kmix
[00:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kmix - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:26] <r0dzilla_> now it says there is a protocol version mismatch but there is no update for kubuntu
[00:26] <dave11> !mythbuntu
[00:26] <ubotu> Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information
[00:27] <matt1728> cool
[00:27] <matt1728> does anyone how to kill speaker sound and keep the sound in headphones?
[00:27] <dave11> !sound
[00:27] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[00:28] <Joey`> How do I install Kubuntu with the "nosplash" option?
[00:30] <ere4si> Joey`: you install then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to have no splash
[00:30] <dave11> system settings,splash screen
[00:30] <Kaevik> so, laptop shutdown wilre performing the normal kubuntu 7.10 install and also using the safe graphics option. but not if I just left the livecd environment up.
[00:30] <Kaevik> while*
[00:31] <Joey`> i cant go past the boot menu from live cd
[00:31] <Joey`> [08:23:23 PM] <c0lored> you have to edit the boot command to include a no splash option and then it will work.
[00:31] <Kaevik> then you probly need to install via command prompt
[00:31] <Joey`> yeah, that doesn't sound fun or easy
[00:31] <rootsnatch> or you can use the alternate install cd
[00:31] <Kaevik> yea
[00:31] <rootsnatch> I had to do that with my 8800gt in this computer
[00:31] <matt1728> is there another sound manager besides Kmix for KDE/
[00:32] <Joey`> i have ati radeon hd 2600 xt
[00:32] <Kaevik> the debian cd I have uses cml interface
[00:32] <ere4si> Joey`: F6 at the boot prompt - type  nosplash - I think ity is F6
[00:32] <dave11> !mixer
[00:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mixer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[00:34] <fuhreal> Anyone know how to get apps to go beside the menu button in KDE instead of besdie the time ?
[00:34] <rootsnatch> as in applets?
[00:34] <rootsnatch> I like kweather
[00:35] <Apple_Cat> Alt F2 ?
[00:35] <dave11> drag it
[00:36] <fuhreal> dave11: lol that was easy
[00:36] <dave11> lol
[00:36] <dave11> linux is alot easier than you would think
[00:37] <matt1728> lol
[00:37] <dave11> on some things
[00:37]  * Dr_willis never though it was hard.
[00:37] <Dr_willis> of course - its much easier once you learn to 'think' about what you are doing. :)
[00:37] <coreymon77> dave11: thats what linux users have been trying to say for a very long time
[00:37] <matt1728> and you cna have a tons of programs running and it wont crash like windows
[00:38] <fuhreal> dave11: kde is easy
[00:38] <fuhreal> dave11: try making fvwm look good ..... :\
[00:38] <dave11> coreymon77: well im here to help..:-)
[00:38] <dave11> kde isnt as easy as gnome in imho
[00:39] <fuhreal> dave11: i tried gnome a few years ago.... didn't like it..... first time giving KDE a whirl after using E
[00:39] <dave11> different strokes for different folks
[00:39] <fuhreal> dave11: just don't have the time to put into configuring everything .....
[00:39] <fuhreal> uh huh .....
[00:40] <Kaevik> double checked the cd, all checked out.
[00:40] <matt1728> is there a command to view running applications?
[00:40] <Dr_willis> matt1728,  ps
[00:40] <Kaevik> the cdburnign tool and the kubuntu cd both pass the cd error free
[00:41] <Apple_Cat> or top for a resources view

[00:42] <fuhreal> Anyone know how to get firefox to display web pages correctly? Konqueror seems to be doing a better job at this point
[00:43] <asobi> firefox has a billion bugs
[00:43] <dave11> has anybody tried PlayOnLinux?
[00:43] <matt1728> what's that?
[00:43] <dave11> !playonlinux
[00:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about playonlinux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:43] <coreymon77> ff seems to be working fine for me
[00:43] <Dragnslcr> fuhreal- yeah, tell the owner of the site to write their code correctly
[00:43] <dave11> matt1728: so you can play windows games on linux
[00:44] <matt1728> ahh nice
[00:44] <matt1728> is it free?
[00:44] <dave11> yes
[00:44] <coreymon77> dave11: does it work?
[00:44] <dave11> dont know if it works yet
[00:44] <matt1728> oh can i run programs besides games?
[00:44] <Jucato> PlayOnLinux is basically Wine + GUI utilities
[00:44] <matt1728> ill try it tonight
[00:44] <dave11> www.playonlinux.com
[00:46] <fuhreal> Dragnslcr: I heard firefox is difficult to write for ..... I've come accross so many sites that aren't displaying correctly.. i.e. eterm.org
[00:46] <fuhreal> What kind of icon files does KDE use ?? png?
[00:47] <nosrednaekim> fuhreal: png or SVG
[00:47] <fuhreal> nosrednaekim: thanks....
[00:47] <fuhreal> Now if only Eterm had installed an icon .....
[00:51] <Dragnslcr> fuhreal- Firefox tends to render correct HTML and CSS better than IE, but a lot of sites are written to only work in IE
[00:51] <Dragnslcr> fuhreal- if a site doesn't render correctly in Firefox, it's mostly likely the site's fault
[00:52] <coreymon77> Dragnslcr: by now, if a site is written to only work in IE, i use user agent switcher to look at the site, then i boycott the site
[00:54] <coreymon77> Dragnslcr: by now, that is unacceptable
[00:54] <dave11> konquerer works suprisingly well
[00:54] <NickPresta> dave11, konqueror is awesome ;)
[00:54] <matt1728> ngpluginviewer crashes everytime in it
[00:56] <Apple_Cat> yeah, i was just talking in offtopic about how surprisingly good konqueror is... the mouse-less mode is fantastic
[00:56] <matt1728> lol
[00:57] <matt1728> it has a nice interface
[00:57] <matt1728> swiftfox isnt bad either
[00:57] <NickPresta> I like Mouseless mode when setting up a Kiosk type of setup.
[00:57] <dave11> my ione question is does konqueror have a cach and how do i clear it?
[00:58] <Jucato> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Cache
[00:58] <dave11> Jucato: thanks
[01:03] <dave11> wonder if linux works with touch screens?

[01:15] <Dr_willis> grub 'enumerates' drives differently then linux does. :)
[01:15] <Dr_willis> rember kids. Grub starts Counting at ZERO
[01:15] <matt1728> hah
[01:16] <matt1728> is there anyway to configure how it looks?
[01:18] <Apple_Cat_> well i'm not sure if grub is actually pointing to the intrd.img in /boot, but there is a intrd.img file there
[01:18] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. ive been testing out various live cd's this week. and ONE of them had a stand-alone flash player from adobe, which was handy. But i cant seem to find it in any other disrtos/flash  anyone know was it part of the flash installs or a stand alone app?

[01:29] <matt1728> lot better than wine
[01:29] <dave11> :)

[01:35] <matt1728> is it new/?
[01:35] <dave11> yes
[01:36] <nosrednaekim> Apple_Cat_: ok,i don't know if mount shows swap..

[01:48] <matt1728> Microsoft sold 1000 SUSE licenses for Renault’s data centers. These licenses will replace the existing Linux distributions (Debian and Red Hat).
[01:48] <matt1728> By choosing SUSE as a solution, Renault will be spared by Microsoft.
[01:49] <matt1728> why is microsoft selling linux
[01:49] <dave11> huh?
[01:50] <matt1728> microsoft was selling linux liscences
[01:50] <lumm> ye suse
[01:50] <lumm> the ms linux
[01:50] <lumm> or im wrong?.p
[01:50] <matt1728> lol

[01:53] <dave11> i thought microsoft hated linux
[01:53] <Apple_Cat_> oops, probably an offtopic thing
[01:53] <dave11> guess not for servers
[01:53] <matt1728> lol
[01:53] <leo_rockw> basically, micro$oft owns novell, novell owns suse

[02:11] <Apple_Cat_> ChessBase Archive File. ?
[02:11] <matt1728> yepp
[02:12] <matt1728> will chessbase run?
[02:14] <Apple_Cat_> I think wine will run it, i just read something from 2005 about it working so I'd assume that it is still working now

[02:15] <myk_> i need help with the Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 live cd. If i boot in normal mode, the graphics/fonts are HUGE to where i cannot use it. If i boot into safe graphics mode, it boots to console
[02:15] <fuhreal> how can i set my active user to root sudo ! ?
[02:16] <myk_> is there a problem with the intel graphics chipset in hardy?
[02:16] <Apple_Cat_> http://knights.klik.atekon.de/
[02:16] <Jucato> fuhreal: huh?
[02:17] <Jucato> myk_: you might want to check with the people in #ubuntu+1
[02:17] <myk_> thank you
[02:18] <fuhreal> Jucato: i want to run some commands as root without typing sudo before the commands
[02:18] <Jucato> sudo -i
[02:18] <Jucato> (don't forget to exit/logout of that prompt after you're done)
[02:19] <fuhreal> Jucato: t
[02:19] <fuhreal> ty
[02:19] <Apple_Cat_> wouldn't su work also
[02:19] <Jucato> no. because the root account is "disabled"
[02:20] <Apple_Cat_> oki ^.^
[02:21] <Apple_Cat_> ooh su is used to become another user, whereas sudo is used to execute a command as another user
[02:22] <Jucato> well, you can also use su to execute something as another user using the -c option
[02:23] <Apple_Cat_> but su won't work if the account you are trying to become/ execute something as , if the account is disabled ?
[02:24] <Jucato> of course. it's as if the user doesn't exist :)
[02:25] <Apple_Cat_> great, thanks for the clarification ^-^
[02:39] <vLdSS> what is the command that will tell me the current time/date?
[02:39] <Apple_Cat_> date
[02:40] <vLdSS> cool

[03:48] <dontpanic> Hi, is that kubuntu bug that disabled access to any admin stuff via the gui fixed?
[03:48] <dontpanic> The one that came out in one of the updates
[03:49] <kgoetz> dontpanic: whats that?
[03:50] <fuhreal> Whats the command to start eth0 ?
[03:51] <fuhreal> /etc/net/et0 start ?
[03:51] <dontpanic> It was a while ago, and I installed an update that made it so when I tried to change something in the control panel thing when I typed in the admin password it still wouldn't let me change stuff.
[03:51] <kgoetz> fuhreal: ifup eth0
[03:51] <kgoetz> dontpanic: are you running hardy?
[03:52] <fuhreal> kgoetz: unknown interface eth0=eth0
[03:52] <fuhreal> wow
[03:52] <fuhreal> this is really odd
[03:52] <kgoetz> fuhreal: then you have to configure it
[03:52] <fuhreal> eth0 will only come up when eth1 is connected
[03:52] <fuhreal> :|
[03:52] <fuhreal> whats up with that
[03:53] <kgoetz> fuhreal: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file.
[03:53] <kgoetz> also, what version of kubuntu do you run?
[03:54] <Erickj92> how do i CD to a folder that is forbidden for regular users?
[03:54] <Erickj92> it requires root
[03:54] <ktest> hello
[03:54] <dthacker> Erickj92: use sudo
[03:54] <Erickj92> dthacker, sudo didnt work
[03:54] <Erickj92> i did: sudo cd....
[03:55] <kgoetz> Erickj92: pastebin exactly what you did
[03:55] <Pendeta> I've just installed Ubuntu Server Edition. Now I want to add the KED 4.0.2 GUI. I've not been able to find a doc telling how to do this. I suppose I have to type something to download the packages. Can anyone tell me what to type?
[03:55] <Erickj92> no internet on that computer
[03:55] <Erickj92> but i can tell you what i did
[03:55] <kgoetz> !tell Pendeta about kde4
[03:56] <Erickj92> i did: sudo cd cel-src -1.2
[03:57] <dthacker> Erickj92: that doesn't look like a valid path.
[03:57] <tzanger> I manually nuked /lib/modules/2.6.blah.blah (I didn't need them) -- I later decided it might be good to get rid of the package too but of course that's now not working
[03:57] <Erickj92> dthacker, yes it is
[03:57] <tzanger> how do I tell apt to stop trying to be smart?
[03:57] <Erickj92> i cd in a different way
[03:57] <Erickj92> tzanger, yell into its ear?
[03:57] <Pendeta> kgoetz, I mistyped. KDE4 is what I meant.
[03:58] <dthacker> Erickj92: does that path have spaces in it?
[03:58] <Erickj92> no
[03:58] <Erickj92> i made a typo in the chat ehre
[03:58] <Erickj92> here**
[03:59] <Erickj92> it tells me sudo:cd: command not found
[04:00] <dthacker> Erickj92: sounds like your $PATH is borked
[04:00] <Erickj92> well i can get in with dolphin
[04:01] <Erickj92> so its there
[04:02] <dthacker> !path

[04:04] <matt1728> what did you burn them with/
[04:04] <dalton2345> nero
[04:05] <Erickj92> dalton2345, could be your CD drive doesnt like the CD's your using
[04:05] <matt1728> use imgburn
[04:05] <Erickj92> try a different brand
[04:05] <dthacker> Erickj92: can you cd to your home directory without error?
[04:05] <matt1728> did you burn them on windows?
[04:05] <dalton2345> yes on windows
[04:05] <Erickj92> dthacker, yes
[04:05] <Erickj92> dalton2345, same thing that happened to me
[04:05] <matt1728> then use img burn
[04:06] <Erickj92> try a diff brand of CD
[04:06] <matt1728> its better than NERO for a images
[04:06] <TheGonk> What's a good font browser?
[04:06] <dalton2345> i changed...i use sony now
[04:06] <dthacker> ok, so cd is in your path.  Then you type "sudo cd /mynew/dir", right?
[04:06] <dalton2345> and i've install it on another pc
[04:06] <Erickj92> i just cd 1 at a time dthacker
[04:06] <Erickj92> dalton2345, its the CD drive and the band of CD, im tellin ya
[04:06] <dalton2345> but on this one...its not working and thats the better one
[04:06] <posingaspopular> hey all, my sound just dropped out. when I try to run a song in amarok, i get a popup about 'audio ouput unavailble: device is busy. xine parameteres'
[04:07] <posingaspopular> any ideas?
[04:07] <Erickj92> dalton2345, doesnt matter how "good" the computer is
[04:07] <dalton2345> i'm on suse 10.3
[04:07] <matt1728> restart kmixer?
[04:07] <dthacker> restart amarok?
[04:07] <dalton2345> but its getting an headache,,,i just found out open office keep crashing over and over
[04:08] <posingaspopular> why would yo need to sudo to a directory
[04:08] <matt1728> sudo killall kmixer
[04:08] <Erickj92> posingaspopular, because the dir is locked
[04:08] <Erickj92> or, protected to non super users
[04:08] <posingaspopular> oh i see
[04:09] <posingaspopular> restart kmix didnt work
[04:09] <posingaspopular> it's not just amarok, it's the videos too
[04:09] <Erickj92> dthacker, i just keep getting the: sudo: cd: command not found
[04:09] <dthacker> try sudo -i, then cd into the dir
[04:11] <Erickj92> dthacker, what would the dir be? it is in a folder called CEL, which is in my Home folder
[04:11] <fuhreal_> is there a command to show free diskspace in term?
[04:12] <hydrogen> df -h
[04:12] <fuhreal_> cool .. thanks
[04:12] <posingaspopular> or 'free' or 'fdisk -l'
[04:12] <hydrogen> no
[04:12] <hydrogen> free shows memory
[04:12] <hydrogen> not diskspace
[04:12] <dthacker> Erickj92: dir should be CEL as well
[04:13] <posingaspopular> oh that's why the floopy drive was complaing hydrogen
[04:13] <Erickj92> what exatly should i type in?
[04:13] <posingaspopular> duh :P
[04:13] <dthacker> you can get a complete listing with ls -l | more
[04:13] <hydrogen> fdisk shows partitions, not disk usage
[04:13] <ubuntu___> buenas noches
[04:13] <dthacker> fuhreal_: df -h
[04:13] <hydrogen> df to show the free space on partitions, du to show the usage in a given directory
[04:14] <Erickj92> dthacker, what would be the exact thing i type in terminal?
[04:14] <Erickj92> cd CEL is not working
[04:15] <dthacker> Erickj92: first type "ls -l | more" to find the directory.  Then "cd dirname" to move into it.
[04:16] <Erickj92> dthacker: ls -1 | more does nothing
[04:16] <dthacker> Erickj92: type "pwd" and tell me what it says
[04:17] <Erickj92> ./root
[04:17] <dthacker> Erickj92: are the files under root or under your home dir?
[04:17] <Erickj92> home
[04:18] <dthacker> what is your user name on this machine?
[04:18] <Erickj92> erick
[04:18] <dthacker> Erickj92: ok, type "cd /home/erick/CEL" and see what happens.
[04:18] <Erickj92> yay
[04:18] <posingaspopular> hmm sudo alsa reload doesn't fix the problem, and neither does checking alsamixer
[04:18] <Erickj92> it workedddd
[04:19] <dthacker> :)
[04:20] <dthacker> posingaspopular: you could mess with it all night or....(gasp) you could reboot.
[04:21] <posingaspopular> that was my next option
[04:23] <Menfest> How can i restrict email which comes to a certain account or alias to only come from a specified account or domain?
[04:27] <Apple_Cat_> Menfest: it's hard to say , maybe a bit more information would help
[04:28] <Menfest> sendmail
[04:29] <Menfest> i want to prevent spam from coming to an alias so if I restrict to to mail from our domain I would think it would cut a lot of spam.
[04:51] <chinamann> hi @ all

[05:30] <calcmandan> hi guys
[05:31] <calcmandan> for those who were there the other night, someone suggested another person install virtuaolbox
[05:31] <calcmandan> i did for kicks, and it's a sweet deal
[05:31] <calcmandan> i feel a bit dirty though.  for fun i installed xp in the vm.  it installed easy as pie.
[05:31] <calcmandan> i did remove it though.
[05:32] <calcmandan> got debian finishing config now, and have another instance of kubuntu 7.04.  running 6.06.
[05:32] <calcmandan> runs very well.  better than vmware ever did.
[05:32] <calcmandan> never got vmware running, actually.
[05:33] <kgoetz> calcmandan: cool. i might have to look into it
[05:33] <calcmandan> kgoetz: i found an apt repo on their site for dapper.
[05:33] <calcmandan> i got it through apt.  sweet and simple.
[05:34] <kgoetz> pity its not in ubuntu (that i can see)
[05:34] <calcmandan> matters not
[05:34] <kgoetz> it does if you want to deploy it at a company :)
[05:34] <calcmandan> it's not in our default repositories.  you have to add their repo to your sources list.
[05:35] <ol_dude67> i use vmware and its easy to if you know how to install it.
[05:36] <kgoetz> vmware is proprietary (and its UI annoys the crap out of me)
[05:37] <Kaevik> hmm WPA isn't available on linux?
[05:37] <calcmandan> Kaevik: good question. i've never figured it out successfully.
[05:37] <kgoetz> Kaevik: it depends on your card
[05:37] <calcmandan> Kaevik: i just filter via mac address to make it work.
[05:38] <kgoetz> and (of course) software version
[05:38] <kgoetz> mac filtering will stop windows users (at best). its not super secure
[05:39] <nixternal_> SAY CHEESE!
[05:39] <calcmandan> kgoetz: yeah i know. it's 'something.'
[05:39] <calcmandan> i live in a quiet neighborhood, and my router's range doesn't even make it to the street.
[05:40] <kgoetz> heh. nice
[05:40] <calcmandan> i'm looking for open source firmware for my router that I can play with.
[05:40] <Kaevik> so I guess I will have toi change to wep encryption...
[05:41] <kgoetz> calcmandan: whats the router?
[05:41] <calcmandan> kgoetz: let me look.
[05:41] <calcmandan> forgot
[05:41] <kgoetz> may as well have no encryption with wep
[05:42] <calcmandan> rangemax
[05:43] <kgoetz> not familar with it
[05:43] <calcmandan> netgear wpn824 rangemax
[05:43] <calcmandan> 834 not 824
[05:44] <calcmandan> RangeMax 240 Wireless Router model WPNT834
[05:45] <kgoetz> not familar with hacking netgears sorry
[05:45] <calcmandan> it's cool.
[05:45] <calcmandan> it's not easy.
[05:46] <calcmandan> i haven't looked very hard.
[05:46] <calcmandan> and i am not the only one in the house using it, so i can't fuck with it
[05:50] <calcmandan> anyone know how to disable messages like users timing out and coming online in kopete?
[05:51] <calcmandan> Now listening to:I. Allegro vivace by Michelangeli, Arturo Benedetti on Ravel & Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos
[06:11] <vikku_> #ubuntu-programming
[06:14] <ncfi1013>  have codeine, helix, kaffeine, miro, mplayer, noatun, smplayer, and vlc. do any of these have ipod 3rd gen support like amarok does?
[06:15] <kadam> is it true you can navigate KDE well with the keyboard?
[06:16] <Jucato> kadam: depends on what you mean by "navigate KDE"
[06:16] <ncfi1013> if my system sees my ipod, why won't it mount and why won't the ipod icon show up on the desk top?
[06:17] <ncfi1013> should i be in the ubuntu irc to ask these questions?
[06:17] <kadam> Jucato: well... I mean, I have this keyboard next to another keyboard, so it's a pain to use the mouse...
[06:18] <Jucato> kadam: ah you mean use the keyboard to move the mouse?
[06:18] <kgoetz> ncfi1013: if no one here ansers, probably no one knows. you could try #ubuntu, but i expect looking around on the net will be more useful
[06:18] <Jucato> !ipod
[06:19] <kadam> Jucato: Wwell, I mean, perhaps... I was thinking just plain keyboard nav...
[06:19] <Jucato> ncfi1013: maybe, maybe not. try looking through Google. I think there might be some guides there. the good thing is that your iPod is detected. that's one step solved
[06:19] <kadam> Jucato: Cuz I don't have a numerical keypad on this kb either 8)
[06:19] <Jucato> kadam: you can always Alt+Tab to switch windows, Ctrl+F1-F4 to switch virtual desktops (Ctrl+Tab actually, but Kubuntu disables that by default)
[06:20] <Jucato> Alt+F1 to launch the K Menu, Alt+Space to trigger Katapult (a program launcher and more), Alt+F2 to pop up the Run Command box
[06:20] <Jucato> you can bring up the window menu to move, resize, minimize, etc. with Alt+F3
[06:21] <Jucato> what else?
[06:21] <kadam> wow yeah those are just what I need :D
[06:21] <Jucato> you can look at the other keyboard shortcuts in System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[06:22] <servettas> how can i set theme kubuntu ?
[06:23] <Kaevik> so WEPA not available in kubuntu? o.O

[06:48] <Apple_Cat_> to remove virtual terminals 3-6, remove the files in /etc/event.d ? or it's not even worth worrying about
[06:49] <Apple_Cat_> and by that i mean, because i never use 3-6 i figure i should or could remove them
[06:49] <Jucato> not worth worrying about
[06:49] <Apple_Cat_> oki ^-^ thanks again

[08:42] <akhil_> firefox is too slow....can anyone help plzz ?
[08:42] <cannon> have ya tried opera?
[08:43] <cannon> my ff works fine
[08:43] <akhil_> nope
[08:43] <akhil_> and kde even crashing sometimes
[08:43] <akhil_> just switched from gnome to kde
[08:43] <cannon> does anybody know of an rpm manager ... it's a kinda zip file that archive doesn't recognise
[08:44] <cannon> jussi01: prolly knows ;)
[08:44] <Jucato> !alien| cannon
[08:44] <ubotwo> cannon: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[08:44] <cannon> oooh, no winamp for me then lol
[08:44] <jussi01> cannon: please stop pinging me all the time ;)

[08:45] <cannon> movies
[08:45] <cannon> libet is nice for music but no movies

[08:46] <akhil_> often kaffeine even doesn't start

[08:49] <cannon> i'd also like a better file browser than dolphin ... what that has a preview pane
[08:49] <Jucato> dolphin has a preview pane
[08:50] <akhil_> any better stable browser than firefox
[08:50] <akhil_> ??
[08:50] <jussi01> !dolphin | cannon
[08:50] <ubotwo> cannon: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.
[08:51] <Jucato> cannon: there are only 3 KDE file managers that I know of: Konqueror, Krusader, and Dolphin. only Dolphin has a preview pane
[08:51] <jussi01> !test
[08:51] <ubotwo> Failed.
[08:51] <Jucato> Konqueror has filetips

[09:06] <ranjan> hi what do i need to do with this kubuntu 7.10
[09:06] <ranjan> i liked the   concept of open source
[09:06] <ranjan> but i need to fight now
[09:06] <ranjan> i am getting confused
[09:07] <jussi01> ranjan: whats the issue?
[09:07] <ranjan> can't listen my fav music coz its mp3
[09:07] <ren_> go to adept search mp3
[09:08] <ranjan>  yesterday someone told me to download libxine1_ffmpeg
[09:08] <jussi01> ranjan: go to the menu, open system - adept. search for kubuntu-restricted-extras and install it
[09:08] <cannon> jussi01: whats an alternative to archive?
[09:08] <cannon> i'd like to browse with it
[09:08] <jussi01> cannon: ha?
[09:09] <cannon> like ya can with winrar?
[09:09] <cannon> go up one folder
[09:09] <jussi01> ark
[09:09] <cannon> yep
[09:09] <cannon> it's not "functional enough" :P
[09:09] <jussi01> cannon: also, Please stop pinging me!
[09:10] <cannon> lol
[09:10] <cannon> i thought you was teasing earlier
[09:10] <ren_> youtube vids still not working after download and install do I need to restart?
[09:11] <jussi01> ren_: only restart firefox/konq
[09:11] <jussi01> you shouldnt need a full restart
[09:12] <cannon> can I use gnome apps on a kde environment?
[09:12] <Jucato> (might have to "Scan for new plugins" in Konq)
[09:12] <Jucato> cannon: sure
[09:12] <ren_> I did open a new konk window still not working
[09:13] <Jucato> ren_: in Konqueror, go to Settings menu -> Configure Konqueror -> at the left side, Plugins (near the bottom). click on the "Scan for new plugins" button
[09:13] <Jucato> once it finished scanning, click Apply then OK
[09:14] <faLUCE> Hi. how can I launch a process with realtime scheduler from command line?
[09:14] <faLUCE> i've seen that it's possible to do that with the desktop klauncher
[09:15] <ren_> thnx jucato
[09:16] <ren_> ok lol now I have sound but still no video
[09:20] <ren_> any ideas
[09:22] <re-align> Hmm...
[09:23] <jussi01> re-align: ?
[09:23] <ren_> I also keep getting this "Could not commit changes - Adept Manager"
[09:23] <re-align> I'm trying to open and compile a C++ project using KDevelop. It's a Qt3 project and KDevelop is asking me to specify the Qt3 directory (this directory needs an include subdirectory with qt.h in it).
[09:24] <re-align> The problem is, I've searched my entire system for qt.h and can't find it.
[09:24] <Jucato> re-align: install libqt3-mt-dev
[09:24] <Jucato> ren_: hm.. sorry no idea about the flash problem
[09:25] <ren_> that was for kubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:25] <ren_> can I do it from terminal
[09:26] <re-align> Thanks. Just needed to find the right package. :)
[09:26] <Jucato> ren_: sure. close Adept and run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras"
[09:27] <ren_> ok thank you
[09:27] <cannon> !wine
[09:27] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[09:30] <re-align> Also, Strigi doesn't seem to provide the same functionality that the Find Files/Folders feature from older versions of Kubuntu does as it's mostly limited to whatever directories you have it set to search (and have indexed).
[09:31] <Jucato> strigi and find files/folders are 2 different apps w/ 2 different goals and 2 different ways of working. and strigi in KDE 3.5.x is, afaik, a bit dated and not working properly
[09:32] <Jucato> (strigi is closer to locate/slocate than it is to find)
[09:33] <emilsedgh> Jucato: you know how to start searching and indexing in kde4?
[09:34] <emilsedgh> i never saw a place to search, strigi:/ didnt seem to work
[09:34] <Jucato> nooooope :)
[09:34] <Jucato> um wait... there's a "strigiclient" I think
[09:34]  * Jucato wants to play with strigi + nepomuk stuff next time
[09:34] <re-align> Not sure what Kubuntu 7.10 uses by default, but there's no Find Files/Folders on my K Menu like in older versions...have to use Dolphin's find files/folders feature. :(
[09:34] <cpk1> whats wrong with locate? updatedb doesnt take much time and you could always make it a nightly job or something
[09:35] <emilsedgh> Jucato: its a Qt (not kde) app to stop and start deamon
[09:35] <Jucato> and?
[09:36] <Jucato> you asked for a way to start it in kde4. you didn't ask for a kde4 app :)
[09:36] <emilsedgh> i asked for search, not deamon management
[09:36] <Jucato> emilsedgh: there's search in there too
[09:36] <emilsedgh> there is a start/stop strigi in nepomuk's kcm
[09:36] <Jucato> cpk1: 1. updatedb does take time. 2. udpating doesn't happen real time. 3. afaik strigi does more than just index files and folders

[10:19] <clau30_> maybe hidden files/folders?
[10:30] <meson10> My NetworkManager doesn turn up with any wireless results, but i can connect to a Network via the Command Line.
[10:30] <SlimeyPete> meson10: if you have manually configured any wireless networks (via networkmanager or by editing /etc/network/interfaces) then networkmanager will not try to detect networks
[10:31] <meson10> .. SlimeyPete: I want the GUI to do it... not by command line...
[10:31] <meson10> SlimeyPete: how can i get that working??
[10:32] <SlimeyPete> meson10: ok... do "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces". If there are any wifi interfaces configured there, comment them out by putting a '#' in front of them.
[10:33] <SlimeyPete> once you've done that and restarted networkmanager (or rebooted) it *should* detect wifi networks for you (if it doesn't then there is another problem)
[10:33] <meson10> SlimeyPete: wifi interfaces? .. u mean any SSID's mentioned?
[10:34] <meson10> SlimeyPete: iface wlan0 inet dhcp && another line says auto wlan0 .. something with this?
[10:35] <SlimeyPete> meson10: for instance in mine there is "iface wifi0 inet dhcp". If you see anything like that, comment out the whole block at that point.
[10:37] <meson10> SlimeyPete: done... and commented the " auto wlan0" as well
[10:37] <meson10> SlimeyPete: what next ?
[10:45] <meson10> SlimeyPete: got disconnected as soon got tthat done... :) and its working now.. Thnaks

[11:05] <Apple_Cat> did you remove KDE, or do you still have them both installed ?
[11:07] <noaXess> Apple_Cat: both installed
[11:07] <acemo> what packages do i need to install to be able to develop with qt?
[11:08] <icewaterman> how does ubuntu on amd64 allow for 3d acceleration on both 64 and 32-bit applications? they both need different drivers. but i have to set the location of the drivers manually for 32-bit apps. is there any way to do that automatically for all 32-bit apps?
[11:09] <Apple_Cat> and there isn't the option when you log in ?
[11:09] <icewaterman> without losing 3d acceleration on 64bit apps of course
[11:12] <Apple_Cat> noaXess:there should be the option to chose kde or gnome when you log in, or do you want to just use kde and get rid of gnome ?
[11:13] <noaXess> Apple_Cat:  ok.. thats only the dektop i can select, before login.. but the display manager should be changed also anywhere
[11:13] <Apple_Cat> sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm

[11:25] <Stilo> Hi! Does anybody know the program affinity?
[11:27] <Stilo> or affinity-search
[11:36] <ncfi1013> hi im new to kubuntu is there anybody that can tell me how to hide my mounted harddrives that are on my desktop?
[11:38] <matt1728> unmount them?
[11:38] <muesli_> matt1728: that's not exactly the same as hiding
[11:38] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: right click on the desktop, configure desktop, behavior lefttab, device icons tab, uncheck any kind that you don't want to have shown on the desktop
[11:39] <muesli_> ncfi1013: you can disable those devices in kcontrol, or when you right click the desktop -> configure desktop
[11:43] <ncfi1013> now where do i go to put the min, max, and close buttons back in the upper right corner of each window i open?
[11:44] <fat-head> i am having trouble with kdm theme manager, when i click administrator mode nothing happens
[11:44] <ncfi1013> or how do make it to where i can move the windows around the screen in just the default way?
[11:45] <fat-head> anyone can help me ? ^
[11:45]  * dwidmann prepares to reboot into Hardy
[11:47] <dwidmann> fat-head, well, more than one way to get there .... "kdesudo kcontrol"
[11:47] <fat-head> and when i try to run kcontrol in root so i can edit the theme manager settings i get /var/tmp/kdecache-xxx" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
[11:47] <dwidmann> That shouldn't be a fatal error .... or is it?
[11:47] <ncfi1013> for example, this konversation irc window is just stuck in the upper left corner of my monitor and i can't move it anywhere or close it unless i go to file>quit
[11:48] <ncfi1013> i can't even maximize it to fit the monitor screen
[11:50] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: that's odd, what did you change?
[11:52] <dwidmann> I'm assuming the entire title bar is gone?
[11:53] <Stilo> When i want to start affinity i get the error segmentation fault. What does that mean?
[11:54] <Stilo> (affinity:30192): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_load_icon: assertion `error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed
[11:54] <ncfi1013> i don't really know, but i went back into system settings and defaulted everthing that i thought was the problem
[11:54] <Stilo> and then comes "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[11:55] <ncfi1013> after doing that do i need to restart kubuntu?
[11:55] <dwidmann> Stilo: Means it crashed.
[11:55] <ncfi1013> ...for all the changes to take effect?
[11:55] <wesley> !adeptfix
[11:55] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[11:55] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: shouldn't need to, but restarting kde may help
[11:55] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: ie: log out, log back in
[11:56] <ncfi1013> well i'll do it and see then i'll get back to you on this
[11:57] <dwidmann> Stilo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault
[12:01] <ncfi1013> well i'm back and i still can't move the irc window or min/max it
[12:03] <fat-head> what is a valid kde theme archive ?? .kth ???
[12:04] <ncfi1013> what i went back and defaulted was appearance, desktop, window display, keyboard and mouse, and monitor and display in system settings
[12:04] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: It is a regular kde session right? Not a compiz or beryl session?
[12:04] <ncfi1013> oh i did make a few changes in compiz-fusion
[12:05] <dwidmann> ncfi1013: well, I believe you've probably found your problem.
[12:05] <ncfi1013> should i go back and default them too?
[12:05] <dwidmann> ues
[12:05] <dwidmann> **yes
[12:05] <ncfi1013> alright will do
[12:05] <fat-head> anyone help me ? ^
[12:06] <dwidmann> fat-head: sounds valid .... but I haven't touched a kdm theme in over a year .... can't remember
[12:06] <fat-head> :S k
[12:09] <ncfi1013> the max, min, and close buttons are back but i cant get compiz to open after trying 3 or 4 times
[12:11] <ncfi1013> and now they're gone again
[12:11] <nosrednaekim> ncfi1013: join #compiz-fusion
[12:21] <ncfi1013> pastebin? what's that?
[12:22] <nosrednaekim> !pastebin
[12:22] <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)
[12:25] <dwidmann> :( KDE4 seems to definitely be on the slow side of things
[12:31] <Apple_Cat> how can i disable katapult? just comment it out of a start up script somewhere ?
[12:33] <dwidmann> apple_cat, just close it (alt + space, ctrl + c), then save your session.
[12:36] <AQ_LIVE> anyone here who can help me with my soundcard?
[12:36] <AQ_LIVE> ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio
[12:37] <SlimeyPete> AQ_LIVE: I have one of those. I've never managed to make it work. I've heard that the latest ALSA works with it though.
[12:38] <AQ_LIVE> and how do I get taht and how do I install it?
[12:40] <SlimeyPete> AQ_LIVE: you can get it from alsa-project.org.    You have to compile from source. Personally I'm just going to wait and see if Hardy fixes the problem.
[12:41] <AQ_LIVE> and how do I compile from source?
[12:42] <blackwaltz> SlimeyPete: If you have the time and bandwidth, why not give hardy a try now? ........ seems to be working relatively okay for me so far.
[12:42] <SlimeyPete> AQ_LIVE: the method changes according to what you're compiling. I haven't compiled ALSA recently so can't remember. It'll be something along the lines of "install kernel headers, run ./configure, run make, run make install"
[12:42] <SlimeyPete> blackwaltz: I would, but I use this box for work so I don't want to break it.
[12:43] <blackwaltz> SlimeyPete: Yeah, breaking that might be a problem.
[12:43] <SlimeyPete> I do need to reinstall another box soon so I will probably whack Hardy on that one.
[12:43] <SlimeyPete> 'cos Gutsy committed suicide for reasons as yet unknown ;)
[12:44] <blackwaltz> Gutsy seemed good at that.\
[12:44] <SlimeyPete> yeah... stability still isn't one of Ubuntu's strong points, unfortunately. Hopefully Hardy will improve on that.
[12:46] <blackwaltz> SlimeyPete: yeah ..... my laptop had been crashing a lot lately ;..... so I decided to Upgrade to hardy on a whim. (How much worse could it be, right? .... better than hard powering off at any rate)
[12:46] <SlimeyPete> heh, yeah.
[12:46] <blackwaltz> in fact, I just did that 20 minutes ago

[13:30] <crashhandler> there are so many people not happy @ #ubuntu! but here is different
[13:30] <crashhandler> hu-hu
[13:30] <akhil_> I had earlier installed linux and usually I remove it within a month
[13:31] <akhil_> this time i had determined..no matter how tough it is..i'm gonna use this linux stuff
[13:31] <crashhandler> yesterday ive removed my pclinuxos and installed ubuntu.
[13:31] <akhil_> pissed off with vista
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> alain_, vista is garbage
[13:31] <crashhandler> but i found gnome is too ...And i installed kde env.
[13:31] <akhil_> yep
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> yeah I dont like gnome
[13:31] <akhil_> kde is cool
[13:32] <akhil_> but my kopete is in trouble
[13:32] <akhil_> no option for reconnect
[13:32] <akhil_> forced to use pidgin
[13:33] <Apple_Cat> under session manager , applications to be excluded from sessions; write the application name, or the absolute path? how are arguments separated ?
[13:34] <genii> comma separated
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> akhil_, i always use pidgin
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> akhil_, make sure you uninstall kopete if you arent using it
[13:35] <Apple_Cat> oki ,thanks for that genii : )
[13:35] <akhil_> i want to use it..but unable to use it . :)
[13:38] <Apple_Cat> so "Session Manager" is just a frontend for KSMServer ?
[13:43] <Apple_Cat> and .desktop files under /usr/share will show what processes are started at login ?
[13:43] <Pyriel> what's wrong with my webcam when it says, "could not connect to video device (dev 0/????)
[13:43] <Pyriel> something like that
[13:44] <Pyriel> pls help me
[13:44] <Pyriel> if you know
[13:45] <crashhandler> how can i browse on internet and possibly install kdm theme in one click (a-la synaptic)? any recommendation/.?
[13:46] <Pyriel> i dont know with camorama
[13:46] <Pyriel> it says could not connect to video device

[13:52] <bab> Hi, I want to use my HDD as host drive. I've a Linux system and want to start Windows XP in qemu. WinXP is on the same HDD and on boot of qemu there will be an error 17 by grub. What can I do?
[13:54] <nosrednaekim> bab: I don't think you can di it if its on the same HD
[13:56] <titanix88> is there any way to configure the clock to 12 hour clock? :((
[13:56] <Jucato> titanix88: right-click on the clock -> Date and Time format
[13:57] <titanix88> Jucato: thanku. :)
[14:04] <Apple_Cat> what path is the $KDEDIR/ ?
[14:04] <emilsedgh> Apple_Cat: echo $KDEDIR
[14:05] <francesco_> hello...i have a biggggggg problem. today i've istalled kubuntu, but the login screen appears characterized by huge fonts, how can i reduce those ones???
[14:05] <Apple_Cat> wait.... i found it *facepalm*, mm i tried echo $KDEDIR but there was no output
[14:06] <Apple_Cat> francesco_: is everything big, or just the fonts ?
[14:06] <francesco_> the fonts
[14:06] <Apple_Cat> kde just happened to be in ~./kde
[14:06] <emilsedgh> Apple_Cat: you tried echo $KDEDIR in terminal and there was no output?
[14:07] <emilsedgh> Apple_Cat: ~/.kde is $KDEHOME or something like that, KDEDIR is usually /usr
[14:07] <Apple_Cat> well not no output, but just a newline
[14:07] <emilsedgh> then $KDEDIR is not set
[14:08] <titanix88> emilsedgh: i tried that too. no output for me as well.
[14:08] <Jucato> $KDEDIR is almost never set by distros.
[14:08] <Jucato> (binary distros, that is...)
[14:09] <Apple_Cat> the reason i wanted to know was because of this site about KSMServer http://www.fruitsalad.org/people/phil/kde/userguide-tng/ksmserver.html, but apparently they were talking about the KDEHOME dir as the files match up
[14:09] <francesco_> the fonts are so big that i cannot select and read anything
[14:09] <emilsedgh> oh, i havent kubuntu packages, sorry
[14:09] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: "kde-config --prefix"
[14:09] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: $KDEHOME is almost always ~/.kde except in the case of KDE 4, where it is sometimes ~/.kde4
[14:09] <emilsedgh> yeah, i was going to say it
[14:11] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: in Kubuntu's case, $KDEDIR = /usr. $KDEHOME (for KDE3) is ~/.kde/
[14:12] <Jucato> that translate to /usr/share/autostart and ~/.kde/Autostart/
[14:13] <Apple_Cat> thanks Jucato and emilsedgh : )
[14:14] <Jucato> ah, it seems "kde-config --localprefix" gives you $KDEHOME
[14:16] <michal_> zdar:)
[14:18] <Apple_Cat> so .desktop files in /usr/share/Autostart will run for every kde login, and .desktop files in ~/.kde/Autostart will only start for the owner of the home directory they are in ?
[14:19] <Jucato> yep
[14:19] <Jucato> er.. /usr/share/autostart/ not Autostart/
[14:19] <Jucato> (case sensitive)
[14:19] <Jucato> one is "global"/system wide, the other is local/per-user
[14:20] <Apple_Cat> oops ,so it is autostart rather than Autostart
[14:20]  * Jucato nods
[14:20] <Apple_Cat> thanks that makes things a lot clearer now ^.^
[14:21] <PommesDieFritte> Hiho!
[14:21] <titanix88> sometimes my network interface gets named "eth1" instead of "eth0". whats the prob?
[14:23] <titanix88> it gives me headache as my mac changing script is written with "eth0"
[14:25] <Aw0L> what's the name of that CPU Throttling/Battery monitor app that's installed by default and sits in the tray?
[14:25] <llutz> Aw0L: you mean" guidance-power-manager"?
[14:27] <titanix88> i have a "celeron inside" cpu. Why cant i scale my processor freqency?
[14:27] <Pyriel> does logitech quickcam 8.3.0 (windows drivers) work for ubuntu camorama? it says "could not connect to video device"?
[14:27] <titanix88> i can downgrade it in windows with a gigabyte's utility.
[14:29] <Aw0L> llutz, I don't know?  I don't have kubuntu installed at the moment - thanks
[14:30] <titanix88> guys...it's funny that i an downgrade my celeron 1.6 cpu so that it consumes only 83% power. :s
[14:30] <titanix88> *can
[14:31] <genii> titanix88: What does: grep stepping /proc/cpuinfo               show?
[14:32] <titanix88> genii: stepping        : 1
[14:33] <wolas> Hello
[14:33] <genii> titanix88: Then it doesn't support scaling
[14:33] <wolas> i need help with amarok
[14:33] <wolas> who know about sqlite config i m movin from debian etch to kubuntu
[14:33] <titanix88> genii: in linux?
[14:34] <wolas> and i want to have my amarok database same as in debian
[14:34] <genii> titanix88: At all
[14:34] <wolas> when i simply copy amarok settings it is no good :)
[14:34] <titanix88> genii: it sure does in windows with a mb vendors utility. It can be scaled in five steps.
[14:35] <wolas> i know somewhere are sqlite passwords or something like that which need to be same as in debian
[14:35] <wolas> anyone have ideas?
[14:37] <francisco_f_r> ñ
[14:38] <genii> titanix88: This is a feature of the motherboard bios to ignore the fixed ratio of the cpu. The cpu you have natively does not support scaling.
[14:39] <genii> bah he left already
[14:43] <genii> wolas: I assume you've paid the $2000 US for the Encryption Extensions then?
[14:43] <Apple_Cat> how do .desktop files in other directories differ from those in the autostart directory ? when looking in /usr/share/autostart there is no katapult.desktop, but there is one in the /usr/share/applications/kde/ directory
[14:45] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: katapult isn't autostarted through /usr/share/autostart/ but through KDE's session management (saved when you logout by default)
[14:45] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: .desktop files are a cross-desktop (works across GNOME, KDE, etc... standardized by freedesktop.org) way of describing/defining things and directories
[14:47] <Apple_Cat> hrm, I thought KDE's session manager == KSMServer, which runs the files in the two autostart directories ?
[14:48] <Jucato> um. no...
[14:48] <Jucato> there's manual autostarting and there's session management... different things
[14:49] <Apple_Cat> manual autostarting = autostarting directories, and session manager is a different thing
[14:50] <Jucato> yeah
[14:51]  * arriesp xao
[14:51] <Apple_Cat> is there some documentation on session management anywhere?
[14:51] <frank_the_tank> hello guys
[14:52] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: System Settings -> Advanced -> Session Manager -> Help button :)
[14:52] <frank_the_tank> ??? was tht for me?
[14:52] <Jucato> Apple_Cat: there's something in http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdebase/userguide/index.html but my internet is slooow tonight so I can't be specific
[14:53] <frank_the_tank> so not for me then...
[14:53] <genii> Apple_Cat: Also http://techbase.kde.org/SysAdmin/Startup
[14:54] <frank_the_tank> i got a question: since yesterday evening my samba-network client cannot enter the network and show the shared data from other pcs.. ist there some kind of firewall in kubuntu that i accidentally activated?
[14:55] <Apple_Cat> great, thanks ^-^. I'm off now, thanks for all the help
[14:55] <dwidmann> wow, my lag says 23s ..... that's the worst I've seen yet.
[14:56] <dwidmann> ah, finally dropped to 1s .... that's better
[14:57] <frank_the_tank>  i got a question: since yesterday evening my samba-network client cannot enter the network and show the shared data from other pcs.. ist there some kind of firewall in kubuntu that i accidentally activated?
[14:58] <dwidmann> frank_the_tank: probably something else happened, I doubt it was that
[14:59] <frank_the_tank> ok, so what do you think did happen?
[15:03] <BluesKaj> howdy all
[15:03]  * genii slides BluesKaj a large coffee
[15:03]  * BluesKaj accepts with thanks :)
[15:06] <genii> BluesKaj: I'm on mint tea, stomach unsettled today
[15:06] <BluesKaj> bummer, genii
[15:09] <cies> i want to install any kde4-dbg libs to produce meanigful backtraces
[15:09] <cies> i tried, but now i get:
[15:09] <cies> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[15:09] <cies>   kde4libs-dbg: Depends: kdelibs5 (= 4:4.0.2-0ubuntu2~gutsy1~ppa1) but 4:4.0.2-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa2 is installed and it is kept back.
[15:10] <cies> when i do an apt upgrade
[15:10] <cies> anyone some idea?
[15:11] <BluesKaj> cies, kde4 installed
[15:12] <BluesKaj> ?
[15:12] <Jucato> cies: #kubuntu-kde4 please
[15:13] <biopod> I've made such a mess, first i installed kde4, then somehow removed kde3, and now made another mistake, i wanted to try some gnome, so i just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, gnome runs very bad and slow... back to kde4, firefox keep crashin, of course i tried to re-install it, but some how only the remove part work...
[15:13] <wolas> pro :D
[15:14] <biopod> some times i think that I should not be dealing with linux at all, and just stay with XP or something.
[15:14] <wolas> try removing configs
[15:14] <biopod> wolas: from where?
[15:14] <wolas> ./home
[15:14] <biopod> wolas: and of which program..
[15:15] <wolas> if i were you i just make fresh install
[15:15] <biopod> wolas: wouldnt I be losing everything I made so far?
[15:15] <wolas> i dont know how far u are ;) bacup what is important for you
[15:16] <biopod> i'm with the same install for more then 4 months, so I'm pretty "invested" in my HD.
[15:16] <cies> BluesKaj: yes k4 installed
[15:16] <cies> Jucato: i repost it there
[15:17] <BluesKaj> cies, then go to #kubuntu-kde4
[15:17] <BluesKaj> err join
[15:23] <fat-head> where does kde theme-manager keep ot themes ?
[15:23] <fat-head> its*
[15:24] <Jucato> .kth files? in ~/.kde/share/apps/kthememanager/
[15:24] <fat-head> thnx
[15:30] <BluesKaj> hey Jucato , I'd like the pyTivo server script to start automatically at login ,like apps I have autostart, except pyTivo.py is a cli app. Where and how would I do that ?
[15:30] <Jucato> ~/.kde/Autostart/ or ~/.kde/env/
[15:31] <Jucato> either will do
[15:31] <nosrednaekim> BluesKaj: make a file that has two lines in it first is "#!/bin/bash"
[15:31] <nosrednaekim> second is "python path/to/pyTivo.py"
[15:31]  * Jucato would find it strange for a python script to start with #!/bin/bash :P
[15:31] <nosrednaekim> and then chmox +x it
[15:32] <Jucato> as long as the python script is executable (and with the write shebang)  it should work without needing a bash script to run it
[15:32] <BluesKaj> yes nosrednaekim i noticed that trying some advice previously and wasn't sure if that was the right command
[15:32] <BluesKaj> shebang ?
[15:32]  * Jucato might be wrong though. can't test right now
[15:32] <Jucato> the #!/foo at the start of scripts
[15:32] <Jucato> bash and/or python scripts
[15:33] <SlimeyPete> any kind of script, really
[15:33] <BluesKaj> yes i run the script in the cli to start it "~pyTivo ./pyTivo.py"
[15:33] <ScorpKing> just run locate .sh and look at example scripts
[15:33] <ScorpKing> or .pl even
[15:33] <Jucato> (or "python ./pyTivo.py")
[15:34] <ScorpKing> ah yes. true..
[15:34] <Jucato> BluesKaj: try it without the bash script that calls it. make sure that the python script is executable (chmod +x)
[15:34] <Jucato> if that doesn't work, try nosrednaekim's method
[15:38] <ScorpKing> how can i put a label on say /dev/sda1 so it mounts to /media/<label> instead of /media/disk ?
[15:38] <llutz> ScorpKing:check  e2label
[15:39] <ScorpKing> llutz: thanks
[15:55] <BluesKaj> ok Jucato, nosrednaekim , this is what the /.kde/env/pyTivo.py file looks like : http://www.pastebin.ca/949039
[15:55] <Jucato> BluesKaj: ~/.kde not /.kde right?
[15:56] <Jucato> BluesKaj: I'm confused... 1. you have a ~/.kde/env/pyTivo.py file that is a bash script. 2. what is ~pyTivo in line 3 for?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> Jucato, it's the script start command
[15:59] <BluesKaj> Jucato, the command I used is , "kdesudo konqueror ~/.kde/env/" ,in the run command
[16:00] <BluesKaj> Jucato, I should drop line 3 ?
[16:01] <julie> how do I check which kubuntu version this is? (2.6.20 kernel) and where is the upgrade guide
[16:01] <Jucato> BluesKaj: why do you need to use kdesudo to run konqueror? ~/.kde/ is in *your* home
[16:01] <Jucato> !version | julie
[16:01] <akhil_> is there any kde-theme manager like stuff where i can change themes?
[16:01] <ubotu> julie: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[16:01] <Jucato> !changethemes | akhil_
[16:01] <ubotu> akhil_: To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubotu xfce-themes
[16:01] <|Dreams|> is there any way to split a wmv hd movie into two parts in linux?
[16:02] <Jucato> BluesKaj: I'm not even sure why line 3 is there or what it does
[16:03] <julie> running 7.04. 7.0.7 or  something is latest stable right?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> Jucato, I don't understand> How else do I access ~/.kde/env/ ?
[16:04] <Jucato> BluesKaj: like any other directory in your $HOME... like you would access ~/.kde/share/config or ~/.kde/Autostart
[16:04] <Jucato> in fact, you can just use ~/.kde/Autostart
[16:05] <genii> julie: 7.10 (Gutsy) is latest stable, yes. The kernel for it should be 2.6.22   You may have 7.04 (Feisty)    to check:  cat /etc/issue       or: lsb_release -a
[16:06] <julie> yeah I have 7.04

[16:06] <unimatrix> any krusader developers here?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> Jucato, but you're still using the run command box for those entries, right ?
[16:07] <Jucato> BluesKaj: why are you using run command? I'm confused
[16:07] <julie> I'm looking at it and I don't see an update manager... what's the command to run?
[16:07] <Jucato> unimatrix: try #krusader if they have a channel or try their mailing list
[16:08] <unimatrix> Juncao, the channel is empty, but maybe the mailing list isn't a bad idea.. thx
[16:08] <BluesKaj> so am I , Jucato where else would i enter the text  ?
[16:08] <Jucato> BluesKaj: ~/.kde/env/ is a directory, not a file
[16:09] <Jucato> you put the scripts or programs inside that directory, like you would in the ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory
[16:09] <BluesKaj> yeah, so ?
[16:10] <Jucato> so? make a script (kwrite, kate, whatever). save it. make it executable (chmod +x or just right-click on the file), then put it in the ~/.kde/env/ or ~/.kde/Autostart directory
[16:11] <vad> somebody knows something about pykde4 packages?
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Jucato, I went into the dir and created a text file ..so i used the run box with permissions , what's wrong with that ?
[16:11] <vad> now they are broken...
[16:12] <genii> julie: http://tinyurl.com/32785o has kubuntu-specific instructions. The link from there also has screenshots
[16:12] <Jucato> BluesKaj: I'm really confused. not understanding you at all. can you tell me step by step how you "used the run box with permissions"?
[16:12] <kristjan_> hi, how do I cancel apt-get update? the server is down
[16:12] <Jucato> Ctrl+C
[16:13] <kristjan_> thanks
[16:15] <BluesKaj> Jucato, Alt+F2 , kdesudo konqueror ~/.kde/env/, then i created a text file and typed in the text
[16:16] <Jucato> BluesKaj: my earlier question was why you had to run konqueror as root actually...
[16:17] <BluesKaj> ok Jucato , what are the steps you would take ?
[16:17] <julie> yeah it said it couldn't verify the upgrade tool... now it's supposedly downloading it and verifying it...
[16:17] <Jucato> anyway... other than 1. it's a bash script, so it shouldn't be ending in .py and 2. line #3 looks weird., you could give it a try
[16:18] <Jucato> BluesKaj: regular Konqueror, type in ~/.kde/env/ in the location. right-click Create New -> Text File etc. etc.
[16:18] <BluesKaj> run as root is force of habit , cuz i'm not sure where permissions are required and where thy're not when dealing with konq
[16:18] <SQLDarkly> I just added a 500GB HD in my kubuntu box. It is failing to mount because its NTFS... How can I format this in kubuntu
[16:19] <Jucato> BluesKaj: clue.. whenever you're dealing with anything at your $HOME, you don't need to be root/sudo
[16:19] <BluesKaj> Jucato, yeah, ok ~/  ..I think I've got it now
[16:20] <Jucato> BluesKaj: in fact, running as root when you're not supposed to might give you permissions problem with whatever you create in that Konqueror running as root
[16:20] <SQLDarkly> exact error is "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 1000
[16:21] <BluesKaj> Jucato, ok I'll do it without permissions :)
[16:22] <Jucato> BluesKaj: in fact, if you created that file in a kdesu konqueror window, that file will belong to root, even if it is in your home directory. which is not something you want
[16:25] <genii> SQLDarkly: You want to use it as ntfs or to format the drive into ext filesystem for use on linux?
[16:27] <SQLDarkly> ext for use with linux... this type of setup still shares with windows if im not mistaken
[16:29] <BluesKaj> Jucato, ok I've deleted the orignal text file that I created with kdesudo and followed your instructions. Now , does the "textfile name" matter ?
[16:30] <Jucato> hm.. not really, but just to avoid confusion, since it's a shell script, use .sh instead of .py for the file name
[16:30] <genii> SQLDarkly: You will need on the Windows side an ext filesystem driver, but yes. So if you know the /dev name:      sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/<the-dev-name-goes-here>
[16:30] <BluesKaj> ok , Jucato thx :)
[16:31] <genii> SQLDarkly: The ext filesystem driver for windows can be found at http://www.fs-driver.org/
[16:31] <SQLDarkly> ah thnk you
[16:31] <genii> SQLDarkly: np
[16:32] <dwidmann> Hm, could someone give me their keyboard config (Non-evdev, i'm checking if that's the problem...)
[16:32] <genii> dwidmann: Desktop or laptop?
[16:33] <dwidmann> laptop, with another keyboard attached (usb)
[16:33] <dwidmann> the keymap is absolutely nuts right now
[16:33] <dwidmann> of course, the laptop keyboard still works fine
[16:36] <limbeaux> is there a kubuntu package that will act in the same fashion as ms remote installation services?  i would like to be able to distribute linux and windows desktops
[16:38] <nosrednaekim> !oem
[16:38] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[16:38] <yao_ziyuan> my video card is ati radeon 9200 with 3d acceleration,
[16:38] <yao_ziyuan> it seems kubuntu can't exactly drive it
[16:39] <genii> dwidmann: Remind me which file again :) Something in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ ? Or other to do with console-data
[16:39] <yao_ziyuan> for example, it seems to underestimate my video RAM
[16:39] <dwidmann> genii: ?? ... I was just going to change from evdev and see if it behaved afterwords .... but I guess I could check that file
[16:41] <dwidmann> genii: Just as soon as I find out which one(s) you're talking about
[16:41]  * dwidmann goes to get more coffee
[16:41] <genii> Hmm
[16:43] <julie_> seems I don't have enough space on / to do the upgrade I have the extra space on /home is there  anywhere that I could symlink to a new dir in /home for the upgrade to gutsy
[16:44] <dwidmann> home is pause, up is print, pgup is keypaddivide?, pgdown is menu, end is super_l, left is alt_r, right is unassigned,  ............ and I'm sure I've got more problems with it than that genii, like the keys those are supposed to be assigned to
[16:45] <sivaji> julie_ i think its better to go for fresh installation only then you can experience the power of gutsy
[16:46] <genii> dwidmann: I would suggest sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[16:46] <sivaji> genii hi
[16:46] <julie_> pain in the arse. I hate this n00buntu crap
[16:46] <nosrednaekim> julie_: how large is your / partition?
[16:47]  * genii slides sivaji a coffee
[16:47]  * sivaji thanks dude
[16:47]  * sivaji ksivaji
[16:47] <nosrednaekim> genii: apparently you have no been reduced to "dude"
[16:48] <julie_> 4.6G
[16:48] <jpatrick> nosrednaekim: you've never seen the big lewboski?
[16:48] <julie_> 3.3G used
[16:48] <genii> nosrednaekim: Heh :)
[16:48] <nosrednaekim> jpatrick: I've heard the story, but no
[16:49] <julie_> svaji why? will the new installer change something that just following an upgrade won't
[16:49] <jpatrick> nosrednaekim: find a DVD of it... now
[16:50] <nosrednaekim> julie_: try an "sudo apt-get clean" and see how much space you have left
[16:50] <ksivaji> julie_ i found fresh installation works faster than upgrading
[16:50] <julie_> nosrednaekim might be enough lets check.
[16:51] <dwidmann> genii: I'll try it, though like I said, the laptop keyboard works ... only the usb one acts funny
[16:51] <julie_> ksivaji you mean linux runs faster or the install goes faster
[16:51] <ksivaji> julie_ linux runs faster
[16:52] <nosrednaekim> ksivaji: not when you add all the applications back on
[16:52] <julie_> ksivaji theoretically an upgrade should clean the system right. unfortunately most linux's don't
[16:53] <nzk> Are there any countdown applications in existance for Linux?
[16:53] <dwidmann> genii: hm, that's odd, and might explain a few things, console-data isn't even installed :O
[16:53] <Kaevik> I was updating things, and adept kept saying another copy was running or another package manager was, so I restarted now grub can't locate any file to boot -.-;
[16:53] <ksivaji> julie_ you are correct
[16:53] <Kaevik> Error 15: File not found
[16:53] <julie_> *curses* still need 111M of space
[16:53] <nosrednaekim> Kaevik: you need to boot a liveCD, chroot into your linux installation and apt-get install a new kernel
[16:54] <Kaevik> o.o
[16:54] <dwidmann> genii: what a strange dist-upgrade to hardy this has been
[16:54] <Kaevik> so Adept destroyed the kernal? -.-;
[16:54] <nosrednaekim> Kaevik: it didn't install it correctly, and you rebooted == not good
[16:55]  * genii hums "What a Long Strange Trip It's Been"
[16:55] <SQLDarkly> whats a good ftp server for kubutnu
[16:55] <Kaevik> it was trying to update itself
[16:55] <dwidmann> Kaevik: probably an installation of a kernel image failed ..... you can chroot in to install the linux-image from a liveCD though.
[16:55] <ksivaji> SQLDarkly filezilla
[16:55] <Kaevik> I was updating adept
[16:55] <SQLDarkly> filezilla server is windows only
[16:56] <SQLDarkly> filezilla client is *nix
[16:56] <dwidmann> SQLDarkly: depends what good is ... I tried pureftpd the other day, not secure at all, but required zero configuration
[16:56] <ksivaji> SQLDarkly sorry
[16:56] <nosrednaekim> Kaevik: apparently you updated the kernel too.... do you only have one kernel option in grub?
[16:56] <ksivaji> i was bit excited
[16:56] <SQLDarkly> ;)
[16:58] <ksivaji> can i upgrade to hardy 8.04 now itself is it possible ?
[16:58] <julie_> this should be fun... moving a hot /var to home :P
[16:58] <dwidmann> ksivaji: yes, it's possible, just change your /etc/apt/sources.list to say hardy instead of gutsy, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:58] <dwidmann> **dist-upgrade
[16:58] <nosrednaekim> uhh.... dist-upgrade
[16:58] <nosrednaekim> :)
[16:59] <ksivaji> dwidmann nosrednaekim is there any risk in that ?
[16:59] <nosrednaekim> ksivaji: of course.... its still beta (and even with fial there is risk)
[16:59] <nosrednaekim> back up before you do it
[16:59] <dwidmann> ksivaji: sure, it's a development version of an operating system, heck, it might not even work
[17:00] <nosrednaekim> but if you have a separate /home, you should be fine.
[17:00] <ksivaji> nosrednaekim no i dont have  a separate /home,
[17:00]  * ksivaji leaves that
[17:01] <dwidmann> overall hardy has been more stable for me thatn gutsy though, if tha'ts any reassurance ksivaji.
[17:01] <dwidmann> ksivaji: might be a good idea to have one in the future eh?
[17:02] <ksivaji> dwidmann ok i will do in  future
[17:03] <dwidmann> Beyond me why ubuntu's guided options don't default to having a seperate home anyway ...
[17:03] <ksivaji> i have a generl question which programming language is better(will be useful if i learn ) python or php
[17:05] <dwidmann> php is very useful for web scripting .... python is very useful for everything else
[17:06] <emilsedgh> php still rulez the web
[17:06] <Trollinator> php is good for nothing
[17:06] <Trollinator> python is better for everything
[17:06] <ksivaji> Trollinator dwidmann ok :D
[17:07] <emilsedgh> maybe
[17:07] <julie_> well moving /var worked ln -s ftw
[17:08] <kaminix> HE-AAC 5.1. I only get sound out of my left speaker using libfaad to decode it. Any solutions?
[17:09] <ksivaji> kaminix test your speakers
[17:10] <dwidmann> If only speaker setup in Linux could be dirt easy ....... :(
[17:13] <julie_> can anyone tell me what package is needed for this wifi card
[17:13] <julie_> 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
[17:14] <dwidmann> julie_: should be built into the kernel
[17:14] <dwidmann> Use the iwl3945 module or ipw3945 module .....
[17:14] <dwidmann> (for me iwl3945 has worked better)
[17:15] <julie_> funny it doesn't seem to just work on feisty... one of the reasons I'm upgrading... maybe it's not on (I hate laptops)
[17:16] <julie_> is wpa_supplicant installed by default
[17:16] <SQLDarkly> i mounted a drive on an incorrect mount point and im getting error 15 when booting
[17:16] <SQLDarkly> i hit e for grub boot commands hd reads 0,0
[17:16] <dwidmann> julie_: I would create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_wireless and add this line to it "blacklist ipw3945" and add this line to /etc/modules "iwl3945", then reboot and see if it behaves
[17:16] <root> como estas
[17:17] <SQLDarkly> that is right although my main drive is a sata and i odnt think sata mounts on hd
[17:17] <dwidmann> SQLDarkly: try changing it around
[17:18] <dwidmann> SQLDarkly: and hd(x,x) is where SATA shows up, which drive is and/or should be read first, I don't know, but try changing the number
[17:18] <julie_> welling turning the wireless on has helped :P
[17:18] <julie_> this isn't my laptop :P
[17:18] <dwidmann> julie_: d`oh
[17:19] <RunicP> anyone know the default mount point of a sata drive?
[17:20] <flipstar> probably in /media/sdx
[17:20] <julie_> all drives should be on /dev/sd(x)
[17:21] <RunicP> Yes I know let me rephrase. How is it typed like hd0,0?
[17:21] <RunicP> I need to modify GRUB to boot on that drive
[17:21] <flipstar> hd0,0 is first drive, first partition
[17:21] <julie_> what sdx is it? hda hdb?
[17:22] <RunicP> I refuse to reinstall kubuntu over a mount point problem
[17:22] <julie_> err.. sda sdb
[17:22] <julie_> or should I say sda1 sda2
[17:22] <flipstar> julie_: sata uses sd(x) instead of ide hd(x)
[17:22] <Jucato> but the latest kernel has all switched to using sda even for non-sata
[17:23] <RunicP> flipstar so would i make the grub command (sd0,0)
[17:23] <flipstar> RunicP: no..still hd0,0 in grub
[17:23] <dwidmann> Check your /boot/grub/device.map file to see which drive is which in grub
[17:23] <RunicP> i cannot get to the CLI
[17:24] <llutz> use grub-shell "find" command to identify partition containing /boot/grub/stage1
[17:24] <julie_> flipstar yes yes I know... typo I think I corrected myself and even I mentioned that earlier
[17:24] <dwidmann> RunicP, chroot into the partition then, if you want to (ie: sudo mkdir /media/sda1; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/sda1; sudo chroot /media/sda1)
[17:25] <julie_> I hate n00buntu's over-reliance on sudo
[17:25] <RunicP> I need to use a live cd to get to the CLI then
[17:26] <Jucato> julie_: there's "sudo -i"
[17:26] <Jucato> (for instances where you want to use "su -")
[17:26] <dwidmann> julie_: My computers probably could be used by someone else, and I have a tendency of leaving my shells opened ..... so sudo it is, lest I'll forget to de-root myself .....
[17:27] <julie_> jucato how is that different that sudo su -
[17:27] <dwidmann> julie: shouldn't be, but it's less letters to type
[17:28] <Jucato> julie_: the difference is that there is no root account (or rather disabled) to su - into... "su -" there is just an illusion :P
[17:28] <julie_> dwidmann there is that... but I recall being told ubuntu could have problems with having a root user
[17:28] <dwidmann> sudo -i = full root environment, sudo -s = not so full root environment(ie; echo $USER != root)
[17:28] <julie_> well thanks for the tip
[17:29] <Jucato> sudo -i = "su -", sudo -s = (plain) "su" iirc
[17:29] <dwidmann> Jucato: it's definitely there, just it's password is set to an impossible value.
[17:30] <Jucato> dwidmann: hence the "(or rather disabled)"
[17:30] <dwidmann> I must have read over that, I'm good at doing that, especially where there's caffeine involved
[17:31] <julie_> my other main complaint about *buntu is by default /home doesn't have it's own partition... *buntu would be so much smarter to recommend it on it's own partition install
[17:31] <RunicP> i booted using the live cd. will kcontrol modify the kubuntu setup that is installed since im using livecd?
[17:31] <dwidmann> julie_: I'm with you on that
[17:31] <Odd-rationale> julie_: that is being planned
[17:31] <flipstar> RunicP: yes..sure but only for the currect session
[17:32] <flipstar> *current, until you restart
[17:32] <Jucato> RunicP: only for that Live CD, not for your installed system. and as flipstar said, only for that session. rebooting resets it
[17:32] <julie_> odd-rationale about time
[17:32] <dwidmann> Odd-rationale: any spec/blueprint for it? I'm curious to see how they'll lay it out
[17:32] <Odd-rationale> dwidmann: let me get it...
[17:34] <RunicP> how can I access the CLI then?
[17:34] <RunicP> I cannot get past Grub
[17:34] <flipstar> kmenu>system>konsole .. ?
[17:34] <julie_> runicp grub has it's own cli
[17:35] <RunicP> yes normally. But I cannot boot into my installed system
[17:35] <RunicP> only into live cd
[17:35] <julie_> you can edit the lines when you are in grub
[17:35] <julie_> I think the e key
[17:35] <julie_> what error does grub give you
[17:35] <julie_> exactly
[17:35] <RunicP> error 15 : file not dound
[17:35] <RunicP> found
[17:36] <RunicP> this happened after I mounted a 500gb IDE
[17:36] <julie_> moment
[17:36] <RunicP> So I know its a mounting issue. Can you have a master IDE and Master SATA in KDE?
[17:37] <julie_> runicp yes
[17:37] <Odd-rationale> dwidmann: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendSeparateHome
[17:37] <Kaevik> I am getting the same error after a somewhat failed adept version update.
[17:38] <julie_> runicp can you pastebin the copy of your fstab that you are trying to boot so I can see what drive /boot is on?
[17:38] <dwidmann> thanks Odd-rationale
[17:38] <RunicP> yes
[17:39] <julie_> runicp here's a good grub error guide  ttp://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml
[17:39] <RunicP> how can I get to /etc/fstab if I cannot access a command line. I tried at GRUB command line however VI or Nano does not work
[17:41]  * xenoterracide == julie_ the kubuntu system rebooted
[17:44] <dwidmann> RunicP: I would boot with the livecd, then mount the partition and edit it from within the live environment
[17:45] <RunicP> I was just told that the live session would reset my changes
[17:45] <dwidmann> RunicP: even easier if you've got a knoppix live cd, it puts all of the partitions on the desktop and lets you mount them from there automatically when you try to access it.
[17:45] <RunicP> is that inaccurate?
[17:45] <dwidmann> RunicP: umm, sounds inaccurate to me.
[17:45] <xenoterracide> yeah you have to boot to linux to read fstab... grub editor just edits grub stuff... and it only does so in memory (e.g. you would still have to fix it once you are booted).
[17:46] <xenoterracide> and I assume fstab is correct where grub is not
[17:46] <dwidmann> RunicP: you can edit pretty much anything from within the live environment, but you'll have to mount the partition(s) for your linux install first
[17:46] <RunicP> understood
[17:48] <xenoterracide> why must the kde4 build take so long..
[17:48] <dwidmann> in your linux install, /boot/grub/device.map is what grub thinks the drives are. (ie: my /boot/grub/device.map says this: "(hd0) /dev/sda")
[17:49] <dwidmann> in your linux install, /boot/grub/menu.lst is the file that tells ubuntu where your bootable kernels are
[17:49] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: think its slow to build, it feels like it runs even slower :(
[17:50] <xenoterracide> dwidmann? really? never had that problem in opensuse beta was buggy. 4.0.1 was less buggy
[17:50] <xenoterracide> supposedly 4.x uses less memory than 3.5 (hasn't tested that)
[17:51] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: well, start up speed sucks, and there's massive lag between doing certain things ..... certainly plenty of bugs in which the applications decide to disappear, but the general speed is decent, although not as fast as kde3
[17:51] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: I think I'll be waiting til KDE 4.2 or so til I switch
[17:53] <xenoterracide> lol... I'm going to do a full switch around 4.1.1 but I volunteered to help with amarok2 therefore I need a trunk build of kde4
[17:53] <Kaevik> hmmm I put a live cd in now I have a cli "(Initramfs)"
[17:53] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: what sort of help were they looking for?
[17:54] <olie> my boot screen dosent come up
[17:54] <xenoterracide> I offered sql help... 'cause I think I know sql and there past sql has been so so...
[17:54] <dwidmann> Kaevik: that's no fun
[17:54] <xenoterracide> buthere is an amarok help wanted page somewhere
[17:54] <dwidmann> Kaevik: try switching on safe graphics mode
[17:54] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: maybe google knows
[17:55]  * dwidmann asks google
[17:55] <xenoterracide> is kaevik runic?
[17:58] <RunicP> Well my device.map is correct. /dev/sda
[17:59] <RunicP> no im runic
[17:59] <xenoterracide> k... was confused what does menu.list say
[17:59] <xenoterracide> menu.lst
[18:00] <RunicP> a lot ;) want me to pastebin?
[18:00] <xenoterracide> yeah
[18:01] <RunicP> http://pastebin.ca/94220
[18:01] <RunicP> wrong one
[18:01] <RunicP> http://pastebin.ca/949220
[18:05] <xenoterracide> runicp what devices does the livecd detect
[18:05] <RunicP> all of em
[18:05] <RunicP> my install
[18:05] <xenoterracide> cat /proc/mounts if they are mounted
[18:05] <RunicP> my 2nd drive
[18:05] <xenoterracide> I want devices not all of them
[18:06] <xenoterracide> #
[18:06] <xenoterracide> #
[18:06] <xenoterracide> # alternative=true
[18:06] <xenoterracide> wtf
[18:06] <xenoterracide> whoops
[18:07] <RunicP> http
[18:07] <RunicP> http://pastebin.ca/949233
[18:08] <ranjan> hi can someone help with kubuntu
[18:08] <ranjan> got sound but not to satisfaction level
[18:09] <RunicP> xenoterracide the full results of the proc output is here http://pastebin.ca/949236
[18:09] <xenoterracide> runicp any drives other than this? /dev/sda1 /dev ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,data=ordered 0 0
[18:10] <RunicP> no i have a second but I did not mount it
[18:10] <RunicP> i mounted sda1 when i booted with the live cd
[18:10] <RunicP> if needed ill mount the second drive and give you new output
[18:11] <xenoterracide> does sda1 contain /boot?
[18:11] <RunicP> yes
[18:11] <RunicP> sda1 is the drive that my linux install is on
[18:11] <xenoterracide> then your menu.lst looks right
[18:11] <xenoterracide> have you run grub install?
[18:11] <xenoterracide> or just the grub shell?
[18:11] <xenoterracide> type in grub as root
[18:12] <RunicP> ok im at the grub cli
[18:14] <RunicP> so my device.map lists hd0 as /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 is that because I booted via live cd or should I change the device.map
[18:14] <xenoterracide> type this
[18:14] <xenoterracide> grub> root (hd0,0)    (Specify where your /boot partition resides)
[18:14] <xenoterracide> grub> setup (hd0)     (Install GRUB in the MBR)
[18:14] <xenoterracide> grub> quit            (Exit the GRUB shell)
[18:14] <xenoterracide> just the root setup and quit

[18:14] <ranjan> help with volume level on kubuntu 7.10
[18:15] <xenoterracide> also I modified a line of your menu.lst to be human readable
[18:15] <xenoterracide> http://pastebin.ca/949245
[18:15] <RunicP> i specify with /dev/sda1? or /dev/sda1/boot?
[18:15] <pinepain> ranjan, kmix?
[18:15] <ranjan> no
[18:15] <xenoterracide> runicp where
[18:15] <ranjan> added  options snd-hda-intel model=3stack  to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[18:16] <ranjan> it increased volume level but not upto the mark that i had in XP
[18:16] <BluesDrive> hey all
[18:17] <dwidmann> hey BluesDrive
[18:17] <RunicP> sorry was copying ure paste to the menu file
[18:17] <RunicP> specify in the grub cli
[18:17] <BluesDrive> I can't seem to get my wifi to work.  I've got a Sony VGN-AR570 with integrated wLAN I think.  Can you help me out or do you need more info?
[18:17] <RunicP> u said to specify where .boot resides
[18:18] <xenoterracide> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10
[18:18] <xenoterracide> runicp look at listing 2.8
[18:20] <RunicP> ok i see now
[18:20] <xenoterracide> grub is grub whether on gentoo or ubuntu and gentoo has awesome docs
[18:20] <RunicP> I went ahead and did root (hd0,0) us said disk does not exist
[18:20] <RunicP> the device.map needs to be modified i think
[18:21] <xenoterracide> are you change rooted into the install
[18:21] <xenoterracide> chroot
[18:21] <xenoterracide> you might need to be
[18:21] <dwidmann> xenoterracide: indeed ... I use gentoo's docs all the time and I've never evne used gentoo
[18:22] <BluesDrive> Kubuntu won't seem to acknowledge my wLAN's existence, but bluetooth works just fine.
[18:22] <aled72> ciao a tutti
[18:26] <xenoterracide> what does bluetooth have to do with wlan's?
[18:28] <RunicP> Same error after doing the Grub Commands
[18:28] <BluesDrive> my bluetooth is controlled by the same switch as wLAN, and on windows sometimes leaving them both on could mess up the wLAN
[18:29] <RunicP> going to see what list of drives Grub can see
[18:29] <RunicP> just a second
[18:29] <xenoterracide> k
[18:29] <BluesDrive> I'm a heavy windows user.  I just ditched windows completely cause of Vista pains.  Been running kubuntu for 4 days now
[18:29] <niall> I did the same thing ;D
[18:31] <Odd-rationale> when is the kubuntu website going to get updated? I remember awhile back they were planning on redesigning it.
[18:34] <xenoterracide> runicp like I said you might have to chroot do you know how to do that?
[18:37] <RunicP> root console?
[18:37] <RunicP> sudo?
[18:38] <xenoterracide> I'll take that as a no
[18:39] <xenoterracide> all of these have to be run with root permissions
[18:39] <RunicP> lol yes im reading about it on wikipedia atm
[18:39] <xenoterracide> mount -t proc none /where sda1 is mounted/proc
[18:40] <xenoterracide> mount -o bind /dev /where sda1 is mounted/dev
[18:40] <ranjan> hi can anyone help me with volume of my ubuntu7.10
[18:40] <RunicP> have to boot back into the live cd environment uno momento
[18:40] <ranjan> hi can anyone help me with volume of my ubuntu7.10
[18:40] <xenoterracide> chroot /bin/bash /where sda1 is mounted
[18:40] <xenoterracide> ranjan patience is a virtue
[18:41] <xenoterracide> what's your problem with your volume
[18:41] <ranjan> added  options snd-hda-intel model=3stack  to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[18:42] <ranjan> made some increase in volume level but not to extent
[18:42] <ranjan> that is in XP
[18:42] <xenoterracide> in XP?
[18:43] <ranjan> xentoterracide: will appreciate anything you can teach me about installing diff softwares
[18:43] <xenoterracide> do the volume levels look good in alsamixer
[18:43] <xenoterracide> run alsamixer on cli
[18:43] <ranjan> yes
[18:43] <ranjan> max
[18:43] <genii> Sounds like it needs the !intelhda process
[18:43] <ranjan> ???????????
[18:43] <ranjan> dont know anything
[18:43] <xenoterracide> genii could be right I don't know intel sound
[18:44] <ranjan> what should i do
[18:44] <xenoterracide> you do have non kernel beep sound right?
[18:44] <ranjan> yes
[18:45] <xenoterracide> and it isn't 3d sound is it?
[18:46] <ranjan> no it is not
[18:46] <FFForever> can i unmount my cdrom?
[18:46] <FFForever> (so i can have a cd in the drive without it spinning)
[18:47] <genii> !intelhda | ranjan: Follow the instructions here carefully. Use however the alsa version which is latest from their site at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
[18:47] <ubotu> ranjan: Follow the instructions here carefully. Use however the alsa version which is latest from their site at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[18:47] <xenoterracide> FFForever yes (assumes you are in livecd) you have to run the cd with a parameter docache or something...
[18:47] <xenoterracide> defers that question to someone who know kubuntu livecd
[18:48] <FFForever> i am not in the live cd :P
[18:48] <ranjan> thanx genii    uboto
[18:48] <xenoterracide> then yes...
[18:48] <ranjan> will look at it
[18:48] <stamen> hi
[18:48] <xenoterracide> ranjan uboto is a bot
[18:49] <stamen> how to return the older view of GTK aplications
[18:49] <stamen> like GIMP and FIREFOX
[18:49] <stamen> they look like this now http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/45/11096_514.JPG
[18:50] <stamen> I want them like they were before
[18:50] <stamen> not with this borders
[18:50] <stamen> how to fix this
[18:50] <RSC-232> kubuntu is using my pci sound card
[18:50] <RSC-232> i want it to use my onboard sound card how do i switch it in kubuntu
[18:50] <stamen> only GIMP and FF look like this :(
[18:51] <xenoterracide> um... might want to ask people that know gtk...
[18:51] <stamen> xenoterracide: do you know the irc channel
[18:52] <stamen> for gtk ?
[18:54] <xenoterracide> try #gtk
[18:54] <stamen> I tried, nobody answer to me
[18:55] <stamen> this happened after upgrading GIMP to version 2.4.5
[18:55] <xenoterracide> wait for a long time... you could also try mailing lists and forums
[18:55] <stamen> k
[18:55] <xenoterracide> #ubuntu might know too
[18:55] <stamen> I know this, but I thought that here is faster
[18:55] <xenoterracide> but I've a feeling kubuntu people know kde more
[18:56] <stamen> :)
[18:56] <stamen> ok
[18:56] <stamen> thanks
[18:56] <xenoterracide> np
[18:57] <BluesKaj> RSC-232, why don't you want to use the PCI soundcard ?
[18:58] <squixl> hi
[18:58] <Odd-rationale> stamen: In your spstem settings, under appearance --> gtk styes and fonts --> gtk styles, do you have "Use my kde styles" selected?
[18:59] <squixl> does someone know where to settings for .bash_history are?
[18:59] <flipstar> in bashrc
[18:59] <squixl> how much is logged, and how big the file could be?
[18:59] <julie_> weirds system upgrade seem stuck on cups-pdf
[18:59] <flipstar> per default 500 or 1000 entries
[18:59] <squixl> .bash_history does not log everything or?
[19:00] <squixl> after a definied size the older logs are dropped?
[19:00] <flipstar> everything you type in bash and that isnt exluded in bashrc
[19:00] <dennister> hep ppl...having a bit of trouble with livecd 7.1 and alternate install 7.1 AND even knoppix 5.1 livecd, which will *not* recognize either of my 2 ps2 mice, only the 3rd, a usb optical...any ideas as to what could be wrong?
[19:00] <julie_> I really don't want to download the cd and install it
[19:00] <stamen> Odd-rationale: yes
[19:00] <squixl> @flipstar so nothing is dropped?
[19:00] <francesco> !it
[19:00] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[19:00] <squixl> after a while...
[19:00] <stamen> Odd-rationale: and there is no change
[19:00] <Odd-rationale> stamen: hmm. ok nvm
[19:00] <dennister> all 3 mice and cd's work on other hardware, so...
[19:01] <flipstar> squixl: nope..if you have over 500 then the first one is lost and so on
[19:01] <squixl> i see...
[19:01] <squixl> but intersting is,
[19:01] <squixl> that there is a user on the machine
[19:01] <squixl> which is used often
[19:01] <squixl> and it has only three entries,
[19:01] <squixl> althoug
[19:01] <flipstar> of corse you can set this to your own needs
[19:01] <squixl> the bash was used about 10ttimes more
[19:02] <squixl> where can i set this?
[19:02] <flipstar> in bashrc
[19:03] <flipstar> export HISTSIZE=<value> will limit the history to <value>
[19:03] <sean987> hello. my first time here and my first attempt with kubuntu.
[19:03] <squixl> @sean987 enjoy it ;)
[19:03] <dennister> just about the only thing i haven't tried is upgrading the bios...does one really have to have the mobo model and amibios specific to that mobo?
[19:03] <squixl> @flipstar you mean : export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
[19:03] <sean987> thanks! it's a challenge so far! how has anyone overcome the "GRUB loading Error 2" problem?
[19:04] <flipstar> squixl: nope..this existent entry just ignores dubes..nothing with history size
[19:04] <BluesKaj> !grub | sean987
[19:04] <ubotu> sean987: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[19:04] <dennister> or can u generically flash upgrade the bios without knowing the mobo model no?
[19:05] <flipstar> squixl: export HISTIGNORE="[ \t]* for e.g. will ignore every entry that starts with a emtpy space
[19:05] <flipstar> good for privacy things
[19:06] <squixl> @flipstar yeah, you are right,
[19:06] <squixl> but i want to log everything,
[19:06] <squixl> a real hard log
[19:06] <BluesKaj> dennister, it's risky , I flashed my BIOS on an older pc and got lucky but I had the mobo make and model plus the BIOS maker as well
[19:06] <soon> join #ubuntu
[19:06] <squixl> every entry,
[19:06] <squixl> how much space is used doesn't bother...
[19:06] <flipstar> squixl: then just set export HISTSIZE=100000 or so
[19:06] <squixl> i also only want to log my stuff,
[19:07] <squixl> where can i read about the settings?
[19:07] <sean987> thank you. i will take a look at the HowTo. It's a fresh install on a new machine. installation seems to go well. then it attempts to reboot and gives me the "grub error 2" problem
[19:07] <squixl> ;)
[19:07] <squixl> thanks for your help ;)
[19:07] <dennister> yeah, i know...i did it successfully years ago, but I had the mobo model no and everything...withthis mobo i can't find the model no
[19:07] <BluesKaj> dennister, there are apps that will scan & list your mobo and bios
[19:07] <dennister> really? any examples of good apps to do this?
[19:08] <flipstar> squixl: hm maybe start with google for bashrc history or something..but remember this is only for the user where bashrc is located..
[19:10] <squixl> thanks ;)
[19:10] <sean987> it was a "grub error 21" problem for ages, then somehow became a "grub error 2"... well, at least i know i'm having some kind of affect on it :)
[19:10] <dennister> BluesKaj: pls keep in mind that i can't load any ubuntu variant livecd...can only load knoppix and dsl...haven't tried feather yet
[19:11] <dennister> BluesKaj: but any examples of an app that I can get on knoppix or dsl livecd's, to scan for mobo and bios, would be greatly appreciated
[19:11] <BluesKaj> dennister, from what i understand the bios has little to do on linux , not like windows
[19:13] <dennister> BluesKaj: except that some of the boot options for livecd's include bios options, so they must impact linux somehow
[19:13] <dennister> they're just not used as often as, for example, acpi=off
[19:14] <dennister> or noapic
[19:14] <BluesKaj> but you're trying to get a mouse recognized , that's HAL , isn't it ?
[19:14] <foibles> i am forever manually mounting my /dev/hda1 partition, and the fstab entry i have just won't work
[19:14] <foibles> could anyone tell me why perhaps?
[19:15] <dennister> you'd think so...but as i said, the same livecd's recognize the working ps2 mice on other machines...the problem is specific to this particular pc
[19:15] <tafsen> Can you use a fingerprint scanner to login with kdm?
[19:15] <dennister> so that's why i think it has to do with this machine's bios
[19:15] <genii> foibles: Perhaps paste your fstab file to the pastebin website and give us the url for examination
[19:18] <dennister> ahh genii :-) do you know an app i can download to scan a mobo model no and bios info? mobo info is not written on the board
[19:18] <foibles> http://pastebin.com/m15f97499
[19:18] <foibles> there it is
[19:18] <foibles> genii,
[19:19] <genii> dennister: Not offhand. The program Everest may have something like this in the reporting, but I think it's a Windows app only
[19:19] <genii> foibles: OK, reading
[19:21] <dennister> hmmmm. ok, will try emailing the guy who donated this pc
[19:23] <genii> foibles: Does the result of: blkid | grep hda1      agree with the UUID that appears in the fstab?
[19:23] <foibles> yes
[19:23] <foibles> genii,
[19:24] <genii> foibles: I think you may need the option: user    so that your regular user is allowed to do the mounting
[19:25] <dennister> I'm also trying to load a livecd on a P2 Tecra8000 laptop, and it doesn't even want to boot from the cd drive, even though it is listed in the bios boot order :(
[19:26] <dennister> just goes right past the cd drive to the hdd, with winblows xp :(
[19:26] <BluesKaj> dennister , the only other suggestion is to edit the xorg.conf file with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command to set up the particular mouse in the "InputDevice Configured mouse" section
[19:26] <foibles> genii, i can mount it manually with "sudo mount /dev/hda1 blah blah"
[19:26] <foibles> and i think i have "users" under the term
[19:26] <genii> foibles: Note the sudo there.
[19:28] <dennister> BluesKaj: ah, yes...forgot about that one :) but that may help for the livecd; won't help with installing kubuntu with alternate (always fails right after the hardware detection and at the installer portion...b4 it gets to the partitioner
[19:28] <foibles> genii, ah true
[19:28] <BluesKaj> dennister, bummer :(
[19:28] <foibles> my user has read/write privledges, so its not like its root only access
[19:29] <dennister> BluesKaj: yes, it is a bummer...but then again, this is why i do upgrade these older machines...i like the challenge :) of learning how to fix new probs
[19:32] <sean987> dennister - i have a challenge if you really want one :)
[19:32] <squixl> @flipstar
[19:32] <squixl> the option:
[19:32] <squixl> hopt -s histappend
[19:33] <dennister> foibles: first, you don't need the 'auto' in your fstab...auto does not refer to mounting automatically
[19:33] <squixl> allows two save the history of shells if more than one is open ;)
[19:33] <genii> foibles: For non-root allowed to mount you need user or users as an option there.
[19:34] <dennister> sean987: oh yeah? well don't count on me for a solution...genii or BluesKaj maybe :-)
[19:34] <dennister> i come here to learn from these guys when I'm stumped, lol
[19:36] <nosrednaekim> dennister: hmm, you havin a problem?
[19:37] <dennister> nosrednaekim: of course, u know of an app that i can install from dsl or knoppix livecd, to find my mobo model no & bios info?
[19:37] <nosrednaekim> dennister: lshw say that.
[19:37] <nosrednaekim> *might say that
[19:37] <dennister> none of the ubuntu livecd's will load...or install
[19:39] <dennister> i suspect it's broken/buggy bios that are causing unusual hardware detection issues...but without the mobo model no i don't want to risk flashing bios
[19:39] <nosrednaekim> dennister: I see.
[19:40] <dennister> nosrednaekim: so can u help me with an app suggestion for scanning for mobo info?
[19:40] <Igo_rafas> igno: are you brazilian?
[19:40] <igno> no, why?
[19:40] <Igo_rafas> igno: because your name..
[19:41] <flipstar> dennister: you could give lshw a try..it also has an gui (optional)
[19:41] <nosrednaekim> dennister: try running "lshw"
[19:41] <igno> what does it mean?
[19:41] <sean987> i'll keep reading the howto and ask if i get really stuck
[19:41] <dennister> lol...lshw is a program or command? thought it was a typo
[19:41] <nosrednaekim> command/program
[19:41] <flipstar> a program
[19:41] <nosrednaekim> for th terminal
[19:41] <Igo_rafas> igno: c u later
[19:42] <dennister> ok, will do...but think i need to take a nap first before i tackle it again...(have written it down) i was up most of the night with this frustrating donation
[19:42] <genii> sean987: Grub error 2 means the selected disk is nonexistent
[19:43] <dennister> nosrednaekim: flipstar: thank you
[19:45] <hunteke> can any one point me in the direction of how to get twinkle to work with my usb headset?
[19:45] <hunteke> the frustrating thing is that I have it working (finally) with audacity
[19:45] <hunteke> with a kludge or something of setting up a device with /etc/asound.conf
[19:47] <sean987> genii - thanks
[19:47] <sean987> but the disk is there. i can assure you :)
[19:48] <genii> sean987: Are you on a livecd?
[19:48] <sean987> this is a fresh installation of kubuntu on a new machine. i'm wiping windows completely. it went through the whole install, then got to "reboot" and now it gives me the dreaded error 2
[19:49] <sean987> i haven't heard of livecd. it can still boot from the cd and run "repair"
[19:49] <sean987> and repair seems to work, but then it doesn't really.
[19:50] <flipstar> you should try to reinstall grub..
[19:50] <genii> sean987: The bootable cdrom which has a running version of ubunt/kubuntu is often called the livecd. You can use it for diagnosing problems such as these
[19:51] <brice> mmm
[19:51] <sean987> genii: thanks. yes, i have a livecd.
[19:54] <foibles> genii, thanks for the help
[19:54] <sean987> if i have a machine with only ubuntu on it, is it sensible to tell grub to use hd0,0 for my root partition?
[19:56] <nosrednaekim> sean987: yes, thats the most likely location
[19:57] <rami> Is there any more visualisation things than libvisual to amarok?
[19:58] <genii> foibles: np
[19:59] <genii> sean987: Yes, that would be the default. Some machines (notoriously proprietary laptops for instance) have a special system partition on which recovery or re-install software is kept. On those it would normally be hd0,1
[20:00] <genii> sean987: As well on the occasional embedded controller in laptops the cdrom unit is master, so for those hd1,0
[20:00] <rami> is there other visualisation plugins than libvisual to amarok?
[20:02] <genii> rami: You can use any xmms visualisation in it as well
[20:02] <rami> and whats xmms? and is google really my friend when it comes to those?
[20:03] <sean987> genii: ah thanks. i'm on a new laptop (vaio). i will try both those combinations and let you know how i get on.
[20:03] <genii> Google is almost always your friend :) xmms is another player
[20:03] <rami> aah
[20:04] <rami> projectM?
[20:05] <julie_> hey what do I do when a dist upgrad stop running at 57% with no reason given
[20:05] <julie_> it's just hanging
[20:07] <nosrednaekim> julie_: try hitting ctrl+c
[20:09] <genii> rami: You don't need to download anything from sourceforge to have xmms. Just use the package manager to install it
[20:10]  * pinepain__ have fun with irc
[20:10] <julie_> nosrednaekim: I mean besides just killing it
[20:10] <genii> eg: Add/Remove programs   then look for xmms
[20:10] <Jarlaxle> hi all
[20:11] <nosrednaekim> julie_: thats all you can do.... and it might actually not kill it, jst kill a dpkg-configure
[20:11] <nosrednaekim> hey Jarlaxle
[20:11] <nosrednaekim> julie_: you can always resume with no problem
[20:13] <genii> rami: Also for the Milkdrop stuff package called libvisual-projectm also libprojectm1 and libprojectm1-data
[20:14] <julie_> another process is using pkg manage. what's the pkg manager process so I can kill it
[20:16] <flipstar> should be in kicker..(adept or synaptic)
[20:16] <nosrednaekim> !adeptfix
[20:16] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[20:16] <flipstar> if not try this julie_ ^
[20:17] <Jarlaxle> hmm, i am always remove all lock by hand :В
[20:19] <julie_> oh to hell... I'm hoping it'll survive the reboot
[20:20] <Jarlaxle> :)
[20:21] <nosrednaekim> dont reboooot!
[20:21] <nosrednaekim> uhhhh oh
[20:21] <flipstar> lol
[20:21] <Jarlaxle> :D
[20:22] <xenoterracide> too late
[20:22] <xenoterracide> kernel panic
[20:22] <xenoterracide> I'm just gonna burn a cd and install
[20:22] <xenoterracide> and make an note that ubuntu is not to use a dist-upgrade process
[20:22] <ProbeDot> I have a system installed already, and am about to put in another disk.  Can i do a software raid 1 on an already installed system?
[20:23] <flipstar> ProbeDot: not for the root filesystem
[20:23] <flipstar> afaik
[20:24] <xenoterracide> maybe I'll give her suse...
[20:24] <ProbeDot> flipstar hm
[20:27] <nosrednaekim> there might be a way using LVM
[20:27] <nosrednaekim> but I think you have to start that before you write /
[20:28] <flipstar> to late
[20:28] <joseluix> hola
[20:28] <joseluix> Hi
[20:29] <flipstar> hi joseluix :)
[20:30] <joseluix> flipstar, do you know where can i find plugins for compiz fusion
[20:30] <flipstar> just search in adept for compiz..there should be some listed
[20:31] <sean987> is hd0,0 the same as /dev/sda1 ?
[20:31] <kristjan_> joseluix: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-main
[20:31] <joseluix> kristjan, thank you
[20:31] <flipstar> sean987: yes
[20:32] <joseluix> flipstar i've tried with adept,
[20:32] <joseluix> thank you anyway
[20:32] <nosrednaekim> sean987: if you only have serail discs, yes
[20:33] <flipstar> serail..?
[20:33] <sean987> nosrednaekim - i do not know what serail discs are. i have 2 200gig raid 0 disks
[20:33] <flipstar> sean987: is this a hardware raid or via software ?
[20:34] <SlimeyPete> nosrednaekim: even ide disks are /dev/sd* these days
[20:34] <flipstar> if its a software raid..you have to change some settings in grub
[20:34] <flipstar> SlimeyPete: only with 2.6.24 kernel afair
[20:35] <SlimeyPete> flipstar: well, for me the change occurred in gutsy.
[20:35] <SlimeyPete> so... presumably whichever kernel gutsy started with
[20:35] <flipstar> running 2.6.22? okay then im wrong
[20:35] <SlimeyPete> it is quite a new thing, though, yes.
[20:36] <sean987> um, hardware raid i assume - it's a new vaio laptop i bought today!
[20:36] <flipstar> okay then you have less problems :)
[20:36] <nosrednaekim> SlimeyPete: but hd0 has to do with BIOS numbering, and if you have both a master IDE and one serial, just because the serial is sda, does not make it hd0
[20:36] <SlimeyPete> some "hardware raid" is actually just software raid embedded into the motherboard, and requires drivers.
[20:36] <SlimeyPete> nosrednaekim: ah, yes, indeed
[20:37] <sean987> i'll just read the spec about the raid on the webiste
[20:37] <flipstar> sean987: or just take a look at /dev/mapper
[20:37] <SlimeyPete> my sda is hd1 iirc, and my "hda" is hd0 (which confuses the grub setup script no end - I have to manually edit the grub config every time ubuntu updates its kernel)
[20:38] <sean987> slimeypete: oh dear
[20:38] <sean987> flipstar: i'll get into /dev/mapper in just a sec
[20:38] <spiroo> Is there any support for Hardy somewhere_
[20:38] <SlimeyPete> but it's academic atm because my ubuntu install appears to have spontaneously combusted somehow ;)
[20:38] <flipstar> spiroo: #ubuntu+1
[20:38] <SlimeyPete> still, no doubt I'll be able to fix it when I get time to look at it.
