[09:03] <bkudria> i have a flash drive that i had renamed in mac os x, and now kubuntu mounts it under that name in /media.  cool!  i want to rename another drive, but i don't have access to mac os x anymore...how can i do it?
[09:03] <Zabulus> :.
[09:03] <unix_infidel> Zabulus: problem?
[09:03] <Zabulus> no, just bored, still
[09:04] <unix_infidel> Zabulus: then stop scrolling with meaningless content.  open up your $EDITOR
[09:04] <Zabulus> T_T
[09:05] <intelikey> is  $EDITOR  actually used ?
[09:05] <Zabulus> sorry, im tired and am proceeding to lose my mind
[09:05] <unix_infidel> intelikey: i believe so, i'm not sure.
[09:05] <unix_infidel> intelikey: yea.
[09:05] <intelikey> unix_infidel i figured it just relied on /usr/bin/editor
[09:06] <dennister> all i get is the help section or the cursor tabbing over
[09:06] <unix_infidel> intelikey: i remember i had to manually export it to vim in hoary.
[09:06] <unix_infidel> otherwise, when i did visudo, it would open up nano.
[09:06] <dennister> nor am i able to go backwards in a line of code
[09:07] <intelikey> unix_infidel yeah it was using /usr/bin/editor  which was by default nano
[09:07] <intelikey> my visudo uses mcedit
[09:07] <unix_infidel> *shrug* it just gets used wherever i throw my .bashrc
[09:07] <dennister> if i hit the backspace key I just get ^[[D
[09:08] <intelikey> dennister yeah you have a bad key map there.
[09:08] <dennister> and that's just the bash problems...what about kdeinit, ksycocoa errors, crashes, etc?
[09:08] <dennister> reinstall the whole bloody thing?
[09:08] <intelikey> i've seen that before.   but i can't tell you the easy cure, off the top of my head
[09:09] <intelikey> dennister that's one soultion
[09:09] <intelikey> solution maybe
[09:09] <dennister> i might have to anyway, once my new tuner gets here from hauppauge
[09:10] <intelikey> fruadian perhaps
[09:10] <dennister> it only took 2 days to go from Toronto to NY with purolater ground :)
[09:10] <dennister> freudian u mean?
[09:11] <intelikey> did i ?   :)
[09:11] <intelikey> it's too late for such....
[09:12] <dennister> I'll wait till i get the tuner back, and do it all next weekend...if it wasn't for that bloody cocktail party I'd have that weekend completely free
[09:12] <intelikey> how ya like that quit message ?
[09:12] <dennister> cute intelikey...u hitting the sack?
[09:12] <GoC-> espaol
[09:13] <intelikey> not yet
[09:13] <intelikey> -:- SignOff Zabulus: #kubuntu ("IceChat - Its what Cool People use") <<<  what would mine say ?
[09:13] <dennister> perhaps someone knows the answer to this question i posted in the mailing list:
[09:13] <intelikey> bx it's what....
[09:13] <intelikey> never mind.
[09:14] <dennister> is there any NPO status for the loco teams? or ubuntu itself?
[09:14] <intelikey> NPO ?
[09:14] <dennister> NonProfit Organization
[09:14] <intelikey> oh
[09:15] <intelikey> dennister being world wide   i'm not sure that would apply anyway
[09:16] <dennister> yeah...but the locos are national, so they might be registerable
[09:16] <intelikey> might be
[09:17] <dennister> it's ok...hoping to get an answer in the mailing list...i'm just impatient when I'm curious
[09:17] <dennister> I think i will go to bed myself...it's after 3 am here and I've been glad to get back to a better schedule lately
[09:18] <dennister> good night all
[09:18] <intelikey> shalom dennister
[09:18] <MilhousePunkRock> Hello everyone!
[09:18] <intelikey> MilhousePunkRock
[09:19] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey:
[09:19] <intelikey> i'm not a bot.  check with ubotu
[09:19] <MilhousePunkRock> ;-)
[09:20] <intelikey> lol
[09:20] <intelikey> had you wondering didn't i
[09:20] <MilhousePunkRock> Actually not...
[09:20] <intelikey> long time no C++
[09:20] <ubuntu> halooo
[09:20] <intelikey> how you been ?
[09:20] <MilhousePunkRock> What makes me wonder though is that I don't have any battery/power related settings anymore after I upgraded to Edgy...
[09:21] <MilhousePunkRock> I've been fine so far... Pretty busy in university, but still fine...
[09:21] <MilhousePunkRock> What about you?
[09:21] <intelikey> well
[09:21] <intelikey> fat and sassy
[09:21] <MilhousePunkRock> Hehe...
[09:23] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey: You probably remember how I fought with the power management on my laptop on Dapper for weeks and weeks, don't you?
[09:23] <intelikey> vaguely
[09:25] <intelikey> other peoples problems fade into a blurr with time....  it seems to take about 4.2 seconds to start the process  :)
[09:26] <intelikey> !acpi
[09:26] <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[09:27] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey: The point is, Edgy made it work (somewhat)...
[09:27] <intelikey> ah kewl
[09:28] <intelikey> but you now have no "battery/power related settings"    correct ?
[09:28] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey: Not out of the box though, of course... And I am missing the setting for both battery/power and the hotkeys in KControl now...
[09:29] <MilhousePunkRock> I added a new user to check some edgy stuff in "vanilla" mode... I never looked if he has the settings though
[09:29] <intelikey> yeah i hear that kcontrol changed somewhat   i'm still with the LTS
[09:30] <intelikey> could quote one as havving said,  "ah it's still there just moved"   but didn't catch what he was looking at in kcontrol
[09:31] <intelikey> havving ?    typo king at your service.
[09:33] <leafw> does anyone know where are the address book entries stored under ~/.kde ?
[09:33] <leafw> a grep doesn't find emails that I know are in the book
[09:33] <leafw> or, is there any way to open the address book and export it somehow?
[09:34] <intelikey> leafw you should be able to export     which app ?    kontact ?
[09:34] <leafw> from kmail
[09:37] <MilhousePunkRock> leafw: I think KMail has an export function
[09:39] <MilhousePunkRock> leafw: I did not find it now though... Where do you want your mails to go?
[09:39] <leafw> I need the email addresses, not the emails themselves
[09:39] <intelikey> leafw kmail menu  'tools > address book ' address book menu 'file > export '
[09:39] <leafw> intelikey : thanks!
[09:40] <leafw> now, though, where are they stored? Shouldn't they be under ~/.kde/ somewhere?
[09:40] <ubuntu_> hello all
[09:40] <leafw> are they in binary, and a grep doesn't see them ?
[09:40] <intelikey> just a note; it took 85% of that time to setup kmail so i could look and 10% to type in the answer.
[09:40] <robotgeek> leafw: .kde/apps/share/kdeaddressbook, maybe?
[09:41] <intelikey> so 5% of that time was my looking time.  surely you could have found it...
[09:41] <kubuntu-power> hello i just got shipped the live cd of kubuntu 6.06 lts and thanx for that
[09:41] <leafw> robotgeek : I don't have the kdeaddressbook entry
[09:41] <leafw> but kmail was using some address book anyway
[09:41] <robotgeek> leafw: i am just guessing, i am too lazy to look :)
[09:41] <leafw> aha
[09:41] <kubuntu-power> im now on the live cd can u help me dubble partion so i have xp and kubuntu 2 in 1?
[09:41] <leafw> maybe /kab
[09:42] <kubuntu-power> hello leaf u able to help me?
[09:42] <leafw> hum, share/apps/kabc!
[09:43] <kubuntu-power> im creating a dubble partion from the kubuntu live cd so i can have xp to
[09:43] <kubuntu-power> can u help me in it?
[09:43] <leafw> your setup involves propietary software, so if you want help, you should pay for it.
[09:43] <kubuntu-power> what u mean?
[09:44] <leafw> ask www.ubuntu.com, commercial support.
[09:44] <intelikey> kubuntu-power just make free 'unpartitioned' space on the hd and let the *buntu installer do the partition work.    it will insist on formating it anyway.
[09:44] <kubuntu-power> ok intel follow me if im doing riight
[09:45] <intelikey> riight ?    fraudian ?
[09:45] <intelikey> no just a typo....    never mind.
[09:47] <kubuntu-power> ok on dev 1 i got xp 74,52 gb and xp simbol ntfs on dev 2 i did ext3 got the pengin simbol and 7 .84 mb right intel?
[09:48] <kubuntu-power> i have to create the kubuntu partion as primary or extended ?
[09:48] <intelikey> doesn't matter  linux is not picky
[09:49] <kubuntu-power> ok
[09:49] <kubuntu-power> then i do primary
[09:49] <unix_infidel> remember though.
[09:49] <unix_infidel> you're limited to a set numbe rof primary partitions.
[09:49] <kubuntu-power> i got a 80 gb hd how much i have to make the kubuntu partion of?
[09:49] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: Make sure you defragmented the XP disk with something better than windows internal defrag tool
[09:49] <kubuntu-power> like what?
[09:50] <kubuntu-power> btw i did it whit xp one says it's fine now
[09:50] <intelikey> kubuntu-power you need at least 3g  would be better if 6+ if you have a seperate home partition
[09:50] <unix_infidel> MilhousePunkRock: never had problems with the shipped defrag tool.
[09:50] <kubuntu-power> i got left 74.52 gb
[09:51] <kubuntu-power> ok ill do primary partion then ext3 is ok ?
[09:51] <kubuntu-power> or i put else then ext3?
[09:52] <unix_infidel> ext3 is safest. but not the fastest.
[09:52] <unix_infidel> google against your options.
[09:52] <intelikey> like i said the system needs at least 3g   so   4g for /   69g for /home  and the 1.2 or what ever is left as swap if you plan on using swap
[09:52] <unix_infidel> wait, you've got an 80GB drive, with 74GB free with a windows install residing in the 6GB
[09:52] <unix_infidel> not smart. imho
[09:52] <kubuntu-power> yes i got xp pro 80 gb hd
[09:52] <intelikey> unix_infidel why not ?
[09:53] <unix_infidel> intelikey: if i'm understanding correctly, he's putting xp within ~6GB
[09:53] <intelikey> unix_infidel i've installed xp on 4g
[09:53] <bkudria> when i plug in my zaurus (acting as a mass-storgae device), kubuntu mounts 8 copies.  how do i fix it?
[09:53] <intelikey> unix_infidel what's the point ?
[09:53] <robotgeek> unix_infidel: that's okay, he can always make a ext3 partition and read it in windows
[09:53] <kubuntu-power> i all ready have xp im using the live cd of kubuntu is kubuntu i have to install now not xp to have 2 in 1
[09:54] <unix_infidel> Do what you want, you'll regret putting XP within 6GB later if you actually intend on "USING" it.
[09:54] <kubuntu-power> ok
[09:54] <unix_infidel> Hell, your swap file is approx 1GB
[09:54] <Voker57> how to change trashbin properties?
[09:55] <kubuntu-power> so it says 0.00 gb how u write 6 gb in it?
[09:55] <intelikey> unix_infidel no.  your swap file in xp is sizable
[09:55] <kubuntu-power> dimesion 6 .00gb correst this for kubuntu
[09:56] <kubuntu-power> correct*
[09:56] <unix_infidel> intelikey: i was just trying to make the point that XP management of resources is horrendous.  6GB to play with is reasonable, but barely enough.
[09:57] <intelikey> unix_infidel i don't have a drive that large  :)
[09:57] <unix_infidel> intelikey: lol, then spend less money on vanilla pepsi and after about a month you'll have 20 bucks.
[09:58] <unix_infidel> more than enough for a 250GB PATA drive :P
[09:58] <intelikey> vanilla pepsi ????  yuch
[09:58] <MilhousePunkRock> bkudria: You could create a udev rule to have it assigned the same name always no matter in what order you plug in mass storage devices
[09:58] <bkudria> MilhousePunkRock: it is already assigned a name, it is mounted as name, name-1, name-2, etc
[09:58] <kubuntu-power> is this how u write 6.00 gb?
[09:59] <kubuntu-power> couse i got 0.00 and don't know how to write it
[09:59] <intelikey> kubuntu-power i'm not sure what you are looking at there ?
[09:59] <intelikey> kubuntu-power what app ?
[10:00] <kubuntu-power> afther ext3 says dimension of the mb gb 0.00
[10:00] <kubuntu-power> i want to put  6 gb for kubuntu how i write that in it?
[10:00] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: You could use GPartEd to partition your drive...
[10:00] <intelikey> s/could/should/
[10:00] <MilhousePunkRock> That's what I always use, it works fine and is really easy to use...
[10:01] <kubuntu-power> im using the live cd works fine just nead how to write the corect gb size in this 0.00
[10:01] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey: :-D
[10:01] <intelikey> try 6g
[10:01] <Voker57> How to configure the Trashbin???
[10:01] <kubuntu-power> how much does kubuntu take btw?
[10:01] <kubuntu-power> xp says here 3gb
[10:01] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: Depends on your needs
[10:02] <kubuntu-power> well i just nead to chat download and surf web
[10:02] <kubuntu-power> but as i got 74 gb to waste
[10:02] <intelikey> seeing that ive been ignored on that point, i think i'll decline to mention that i already said that the kubuntu installer needed 3g minimum
[10:04] <intelikey> btw unix_infidel  what does a pata drive plug into in an scsi box ?
[10:04] <MilhousePunkRock> ok, make it 10 for windows, 10 for kubuntu, 2 times your ram plus video ram for swap, rest for home
[10:05] <intelikey> "ram plus video ram for swap"  is this a lappy ?
[10:05] <MilhousePunkRock> intelikey: Hibernating is useful on desktops too, isnt it?
[10:05] <intelikey> well not very...
[10:06] <intelikey> can be used.  but not very usefull
[10:06] <kubuntu-power> damn im lost
[10:06] <Voker57> Hey ppl help!
[10:06] <kubuntu-power> do i have to do redimension to the xp one ?
[10:06] <bkudria> uh oh
[10:06] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: Of course, since it now probably takes up the whole disc...
[10:06] <intelikey> Voker57 what do you want to do with the trashbin ?
[10:07] <kubuntu-power> ok
[10:07] <Voker57> intelikey: I wish to disable it
[10:07] <MilhousePunkRock> Voker57: That's possible
[10:07] <intelikey> right click on it ?
[10:07] <Voker57> nah
[10:07] <intelikey> or use kcontrol ?
[10:07] <intelikey> nah ?
[10:07] <Voker57> it displays folder props
[10:08] <MilhousePunkRock> Voker57: You can override the trahsbin with Shift+Delete
[10:08] <Voker57> MilhousePunkRock: thx
[10:08] <MilhousePunkRock> IIRC you can even disable it completely...
[10:09] <intelikey> you can make .trash a symlink to /dev/null too  :)
[10:09] <MilhousePunkRock> Or get rid of the confirmation for deleting something
[10:09] <intelikey> in konqueror configuration
[10:10] <intelikey> or kcontrol
[10:10] <intelikey> iirc
[10:10] <kubuntu-power> says ntfs active dimension 74,52 gb begging  0.03 mb end the xp one
[10:11] <kubuntu-power> beggins and ends whit 74.52 bg
[10:11] <kubuntu-power> dev 1
[10:11] <bkudria> when i plug in my zaurus (acting as a mass-storage device), kubuntu mounts 8 copies.  how do i fix it?
[10:12] <kubuntu-power> for dev to i got free and says 7.84 mb free start 74.52 gb end 74.53 gb
[10:12] <kubuntu-power> this dev 2 the free one
[10:12] <MilhousePunkRock> Voker57: Open konqueror and go to settings --> configure konqueror
[10:12] <MilhousePunkRock> On the first tab (Behaviour) it deals with the trash
[10:12] <kubuntu-power> did u understand every thing punk rock?
[10:13] <Voker57> MilhousePunkRock: ok
[10:13] <kubuntu-power> so ill do redimension on the xp one to start then guide me
[10:17] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: The GPartEd live CD is the safest choice for you, really
[10:18] <kubuntu-power> where do i get that?
[10:18] <MilhousePunkRock> IIRC the partitioning tool in the Kubuntu setup wasnt really powerful...
[10:18] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[10:18] <kubuntu-power> where u get this gp?
[10:18] <kubuntu-power> a ok
[10:18] <MilhousePunkRock> First google hit
[10:18] <MilhousePunkRock> !google
[10:18] <ubotu> Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux
[10:19] <kubuntu-power> im new to linux and never done a dubble partion before just nead u tell me what to do punk
[10:19] <kubuntu-power> and i will do it fine im sure
[10:20] <kubuntu-power> so im on the xp partion now and will do ridimension
[10:20] <kubuntu-power> what i have to write there?
[10:20] <MilhousePunkRock> kubuntu-power: 1. you need to say my name completely to get my attention, try mil-tab
[10:21] <kubuntu-power> milhousepunkrock
[10:21] <MilhousePunkRock> 2. I told you, GPartEd is the safest choice... Do you have a broadband connection and a CD burner?
[10:21] <MilhousePunkRock> there you go, kubuntu-power
[10:21] <nobane> hey
[10:21] <MilhousePunkRock> This way, what you write appears in red here and I know I am adressed
[10:22] <kubuntu-power> im more lost whit that gp if u quide me im sure i can make it
[10:23] <kubuntu-power> so im on redimension now the xp partion i got new dimension 76308.71 and free space 7.84 all mb
[10:23] <kubuntu-power> what i do?
[10:23] <kubuntu-power> says here minimun redimension 2gb
[10:24] <kubuntu-power> o got it
[10:30] <intelikey> ha that warning in gparted....   "root permissions required,  sense gparted can be a weapon of mass distruction only root can run it. "   lol
[10:32] <intelikey> ok i've seen gparted now.    i still think it's the same app that the dapper live CD installer uses
[10:33] <unix_infidel> yea.
[10:33] <intelikey> i haven't see the edgy installer but bet it's the same
[10:34] <T3hWiz0rd> woot
[10:35] <T3hWiz0rd> I am finally on the car dealerships wireless network
[10:35] <T3hWiz0rd> hurray packet attacking
[10:35] <T3hWiz0rd> now to rape their t1 line with downloads, like an ethical person :-)
[10:36] <unix_infidel> or a smart person and setup a third party AP?
[10:36] <intelikey> hmm fat8 fat12 fat16 fat32  wasn't there another one ?
[10:36] <unix_infidel> vfat is basically fat32
[10:36] <unix_infidel> if that's what your looking for.
[10:37] <intelikey> unix_infidel mmm no.  it works for mounting 8-32
[10:37] <unix_infidel> i have no idea what your talking about.
[10:37] <unix_infidel> still on gparted?
[10:38] <intelikey> vfat mounts fat[8-32]    but wasn't there another M$ fs   and not ntfs
[10:38] <intelikey> what is msdos fs ?  is that fat12 ?
[10:39] <unix_infidel> yea
[10:39] <T3hWiz0rd> ms had another filesystem besides the fats?
[10:39] <unix_infidel> T3hWiz0rd: he was talking about another fat variation besides the ones listed above.
[10:39] <T3hWiz0rd> oh.
[10:40] <unix_infidel> fat12 was part of the original nt iirc.
[10:40] <T3hWiz0rd> I never liked FAT
[10:40] <T3hWiz0rd> both for its name... and other reasons...
[10:40] <intelikey> fat12 was the standard on floppy disks  3.5"  but i think 5.25" was fat8      not sure ?
[10:41] <unix_infidel> the better question, does it really matter anymore?
[10:41] <T3hWiz0rd> lol really.
[10:41] <intelikey> did it ever ?
[10:41] <T3hWiz0rd> for windows users, once.
[10:42] <unix_infidel> all that mattered was that i get 12 letters for the file name and another 3 for the extension.
[10:42] <unix_infidel> w00t.
[10:42] <intelikey> not really.   same then as now      bassicly  "who gives a ***** about the file system,  just make the mouse work"
[10:42] <T3hWiz0rd> my mouse stopped working on my windows computer the other day
[10:43] <T3hWiz0rd> so i couldn't even reboot it! it was t3h h0rrible.
[10:43] <llutz> intelikey: dosnames are 8.3
[10:43] <intelikey> llutz i know that  tell unix_infidel
[10:43] <llutz> ups,s r y
[10:43] <unix_infidel> what?
[10:43] <llutz> too early
[10:44] <intelikey> not 12.3 unix_infidel 8.3
[10:44] <unix_infidel> heh, :P
[10:45] <unix_infidel> roflcopt.lol
[10:45] <intelikey> hehhe   ROFLC~1.LOL
[10:46] <intelikey> there was no lower case either
[10:46] <eRen`Bis> Bonjour!
[10:46] <unix_infidel> also true.
[10:47] <matroblend> Does anyone know anything about pythoncard?
[10:49] <intelikey> ./bbsetup.sh: line 133: php: command not found
[10:49] <intelikey> Do you have PHP 4.2 or later installed on this system?
[10:49] <intelikey> [yes]  -> yes
[10:49] <intelikey> Why did you lie?
[10:49] <intelikey> [Enter to continue]
[10:50] <intelikey> but it is installed

[10:50] <intelikey> well that too ...  ii  php5                          5.1.2-1ubuntu3.4                server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag
[10:50] <robotgeek> lol
[10:52] <T3hWiz0rd> night night
[10:52] <intelikey> that kinda P's me off,  being called a lier by a script that i didn't even write.....
[10:53] <unix_infidel> venkat naidu?
[10:53] <robotgeek> who's that?
[10:58] <intelikey> does anyone know what provides/manages "alternatives" ?
[10:59] <robotgeek> intelikey: update-alternatives --help ?
[10:59] <kraut> moin
[11:00] <intelikey> but    origen `which update-alternatives`    drew a blank
[11:01] <robotgeek> intelikey: maybe dpkg, i am thinking
[11:01] <intelikey> i still don't know what provides/manages "alternatives"    i already knew where the script was that updated them.
[11:01] <intelikey> hmmm ok maybe.
[11:02] <fdoving> intelikey: you mean /etc/alternatives ?
[11:02] <intelikey> fdoving no   well yes and no.    i do away with /etc/alternatives/   but sometimes if i install something it remakes that dir
[11:03] <robotgeek> intelikey: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%2Fusr%2Fsbin%2Fupdate-alternatives&searchmode=searchfilesanddirs&case=insensitive&version=edgy&arch=i386
[11:03] <intelikey> ever hear of tinyurl ?
[11:03] <robotgeek> intelikey: the usual approach, i think is to create a file manually
[11:03] <robotgeek> intelikey: yes :) i did not expect it so big!
[11:06] <guglielf> (n=name@ip) <--- is it possible to change this string, maybe in konversation?
[11:07] <fdoving> guglielf: you can change the 'name' part easily..
[11:08] <matroblend> How do you get identified to join the #python channel?
[11:08] <robotgeek> !register > matroblend
[11:08] <fdoving> guglielf: in konversation go to 'settings -> identities -> advanced [tab] , change the 'ident' part.
[11:10] <matroblend> How do I register? sorry I am new
[11:10] <_4str1> yop
[11:10] <fdoving> !register | matroblend
[11:10] <ubotu> matroblend: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:11] <matroblend> Got it ty reading now
[11:11] <lenscape> matroblend: you could start with: /msg nickserv help
[11:11] <intelikey> so basicly the only way to totally do away with alternatives is to uninstall dpkg......  i could do that....
[11:15] <RoKFiT> is anyone here?
[11:15] <intelikey> i added two lines to /usr/sbin/update-alternatives   head 2   #!/bin/sh    exit 0         but that doesn't keep packages from having /etc/alternatives/blah in them.
[11:15] <RoKFiT> intelikey: can you help me mount my hd?
[11:16] <intelikey> probably   what you got ?
[11:16] <guglielf> fdoving: tnx, and to get something like the string you have?
[11:16] <intelikey> !ntfs
[11:16] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[11:17] <RoKFiT> intelikey: it's a sata hd 300gb
[11:17] <RoKFiT> plugged in
[11:17] <RoKFiT> partitioned ext3
[11:17] <intelikey> RoKFiT sudo fdisk -l
[11:18] <intelikey> that should list it for you so you'll know the device address.
[11:18] <RoKFiT> yeah
[11:18] <RoKFiT> it's /dev/sdb1
[11:19] <RoKFiT> system hpfs/ntfs - does that mean ext3?
[11:19] <fdoving> guglielf: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[11:19] <intelikey> RoKFiT nope
[11:19] <intelikey> but that's the partition type
[11:20] <RoKFiT> could it still be ext3, because on fedora i remember partitioning it to ext3
[11:20] <intelikey> RoKFiT try sduo e2fsck /dev/sdb1
[11:20] <intelikey> that should tell you if it is
[11:20] <intelikey> errr
[11:20] <intelikey> RoKFiT try sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1
[11:21] <matroblend> Lenscape: thx I am reading the faq, now so as I understand it I type my info in as /msg nickserv register <your-password> is nickserv my nick?
[11:21] <eilker> !phpnuke
[11:21] <RoKFiT> it's going
[11:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about phpnuke - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:21] <intelikey> RoKFiT does that check the fs  or does it error out ?
[11:21] <matroblend>  /msg nickserv help
[11:21] <RoKFiT> checking fs
[11:21] <guglielf> fdoving: tnx again. that can be an interesting read for other irc related things i suppose
[11:21] <intelikey> good.
[11:22] <lenscape> matroblend: no. nickserv is a service. It knows you nick from the origin of the msg
[11:22] <matroblend> lenscape oh
[11:23] <RoKFiT> intelikey: so is it ext3?
[11:24] <intelikey> RoKFiT yessir.     sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 ;sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1                                                                                when ever that fsck finishes,   it should get you mounted.     the manual pages for all these command line apps are generally   man command    like man mount   or man e2fsck    or man fdisk.
[11:24] <RoKFiT> i do not need to edit fstab?
[11:25] <intelikey> if you want it to automount you do.  if you just want to mount it.   you just use the mount command.
[11:25] <eilker> hi people, i cant find a guide "how to setup dhcp server" (trying for wmvare)
[11:25] <xsacha> "Today saw the announcement by the Internet Explorer development team of a free, downloadable, pre-activated Windows XP SP2 image with Internet Explorer 6 installed."
[11:25] <RoKFiT> yeah how do i automount it?
[11:26] <RoKFiT> or what do i need to put in fstab
[11:26] <intelikey> RoKFiT now you have changed the whole question.   you asked "<RoKFiT> intelikey: can you help me mount my hd?"    you are going to have to learn to say what you mean.    and ask smart questions.
[11:27] <eilker> !dhcp > eilker
[11:27] <RoKFiT> sorry
[11:27] <RoKFiT> intelikey: can you help me auto mount my hd into fstab?
[11:28] <eilker> people should i install dhcp or dhcp3 ??? (trying for wmvare)
[11:28] <intelikey> RoKFiT put this line in your /etc/fstab      "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3 defaults,auto 0 0 "    without the quotation marks.
[11:29] <fdoving> eilker: dhcp3-server
[11:29] <intelikey> RoKFiT but do run the command i gave you.       sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 ;sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[11:30] <intelikey> RoKFiT after that it should mount at boot time.
[11:30] <RoKFiT> do the amount of spaces matter?
[11:30] <intelikey> nope
[11:30] <RoKFiT> how could you tell my hd was ext3 when it said ntfs/hd something something
[11:31] <llutz> eilker: looking for a simple dhcpd? use dnsmasq
[11:31] <intelikey> cause e2fsck checks only ext2 or ext3 file systems
[11:31] <RoKFiT> oh wait, i can't write to the file
[11:31] <intelikey> yes you can.   sudo nano /etc/fstab
[11:32] <RoKFiT> i edited as root
[11:32] <eilker> llutz: in fact i dont know what i am looking for, i installed vmware server , for its performance i need to install dhcp server (they say like this)
[11:32] <RoKFiT> wait that still didn't work
[11:32] <RoKFiT> yeah it did
[11:33] <eilker> llutz: may i use dnsmasq for it ?
[11:33] <RoKFiT> is kate better than kwrite?
[11:33] <intelikey> RoKFiT next question you will probably have is why you cant write to the drive.
[11:33] <RoKFiT> no, but why wouldn't i be able to?
[11:33] <llutz> eilker: don't know about vmware but dnsnasq is a simple dhcpd, easy to set up. should be ok
[11:33] <intelikey> RoKFiT better is subjective.   they are both good.
[11:34] <intelikey> RoKFiT permissions.
[11:34] <RoKFiT> oh shoot
[11:34] <RoKFiT> how do i set those?
[11:34] <intelikey> RoKFiT sudo chmod 777 /media/sdb1
[11:34] <RoKFiT> done.
[11:34] <RoKFiT> can i reboot to test it?
[11:35] <fragrag> Hello, I made a partition specially made to share between my Windows and Linux installation. But I get an error saying mount: can't find /dev/hdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[11:35] <intelikey> that should give you full access to the disk.   or at least it's root directory.    (seeing that i don't know what's on it)
[11:35] <intelikey> RoKFiT why reboot ?
[11:35] <intelikey> it's mounted.
[11:35] <RoKFiT> oh cool.
[11:36] <RoKFiT> well thanks
[11:36] <intelikey> RoKFiT you can do     df -h    to see where it's mounted and the spaces specs.
[11:36] <momal> looking for a program similar to what nero vision did on windows... Whats the best one for linux ?
[11:37] <intelikey> momal i though nero had a linux port too
[11:37] <RoKFiT> .    /dev/sdb1
[11:37] <intelikey> that's the device.
[11:37] <intelikey> the other end is where it's mounted
[11:38] <momal> intelikey: Thats only for burning... nero vision is a program that I can just drag in video files set up chapters and set up a menu and it encodes it all into dvd format and ready to burn
[11:38] <RoKFiT> yes thank you so much for the help
[11:38] <intelikey> RoKFiT np
[11:38] <RoKFiT> i'm having a hard time finding frostwire in repos
[11:38] <intelikey> momal outa my league.  i'm still playing with floppy disks
[11:39] <momal> haha
[11:39] <intelikey> !frostwire
[11:39] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[11:39] <intelikey> RoKFiT follow that url ^
[11:40] <fragrag> Hello, I made a partition specially made to share between my Windows and Linux installation. But I get an error saying mount: can't find /dev/hdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[11:40] <intelikey> actually i think i have a broken dvd writer here some place.......
[11:41] <intelikey> fragrag from what command ?
[11:41] <fragrag> I'm just trying to open the partition, I've probably skipped a step
[11:41] <intelikey> just trying to open it how   where ?
[11:42] <fragrag> Basically I partitioned a piece of my harddrive to FAT32 so I can share between Windows and Linux.
[11:42] <fragrag> With Konqueror
[11:42] <RoKFiT> i can't change the color of konsole, how come?
[11:42] <RoKFiT> fixed
[11:42] <intelikey> RoKFiT schema
[11:43] <intelikey> fragrag ok you are in konqureor and where in the file system are you ?
[11:44] <fragrag> I'm in system:/media/, and if I click on the partiton and getting the error, I'm in 'system:/media/hdb5'
[11:44] <intelikey> did you try right click mount ?
[11:44] <intelikey> that's a guess....
[11:45] <fragrag> Gives me 'mount: can't find /dev/hdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab'
[11:45] <intelikey> hmmm well lets fix rather than trying to find out why it's the way it is.
[11:46] <fragrag> What do I do then?
[11:46] <filip_> I cant manage to install a Java runtime program.. (a program to play Java?) anyone who can help me?
[11:47] <intelikey> fragrag sudo nano /etc/fstab   add   "/dev/hda5 /media/hda5 vfat auto,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0 "  without the quotes   save and exit.
[11:47] <intelikey> !java
[11:47] <fragrag> Do I type that in Konsole?
[11:47] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[11:48] <intelikey> yes sudo nano /etc/fstab
[11:48] <intelikey> in konsole
[11:48] <RoKFiT> i like it
[11:48] <filip_> !multiverse
[11:48] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[11:48] <RoKFiT> intelikey: so do you just hang out in here and help everyone?
[11:48] <RoKFiT> or are you one of those bots?
[11:48] <fragrag> He's real
[11:48] <intelikey> and inside of nano    "/dev/hda5 /media/hda5 vfat auto,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0 "
[11:49] <RoKFiT> oh
[11:49] <fragrag> Bots are rather more, automated
[11:49] <fragrag> So alot of thanks to everyone on this channel :)
[11:49] <dreameen> hey chaps
[11:50] <dreameen> i dont like the new kubuntu power manager in Edgy, how can i get the old one from Breezy?
[11:50] <intelikey> fragrag that's openion more than fact.  you have never seen nor heard me.  you have not felt a pulse nor checked a tempiture...    am i "real"
[11:50] <RoKFiT> dude kubuntu is where it's AT!
[11:50] <fragrag> O_O :O
[11:50] <RoKFiT> seriously
[11:50] <intelikey> ;/
[11:50] <RoKFiT> it's got flow
[11:50] <fragrag> By the way, can you tell me again what to do? I didn't completely understand it
[11:50] <lenscape> RoKFiT: not until they stop messing with KDE, it ain't
[11:51] <RoKFiT> true
[11:51] <dreameen> the new power manager sux hard.
[11:51] <intelikey> the page up key is nice for that fragrag
[11:51] <fragrag> Ooh woops :)
[11:51] <momal> Looking for a good program like "Nero Vision" but for linux... Anyone know of one ?
[11:51] <lenscape> momal: what does it do?
[11:52] <fragrag> And then I just save it, right?
[11:52] <momal> Drag video in sorts into chapters then i set up a menu and it slams it all into dvd format
[11:52] <RoKFiT> that frostwire install looked lengthy
[11:52] <momal> hmm.. is that called dvd authoring ?
[11:52] <intelikey> momal if you haven't noticed yet those of us that have to ask that, usually don't have the answer either...
[11:52] <lenscape> I'm sure they exist for Linux
[11:53] <momal> lozl
[11:53] <dreameen> how can u introduce sth as intrusive and not configurable as the new power saving manager in Edgy?
[11:53] <momal> yea there are 2 I have but one doesn't have menu support and the other one takes way to long to encode :(
[11:53] <RoKFiT> yes and now to install my video card drivers
[11:54] <RoKFiT> i made a post on the website
[11:54] <RoKFiT> but they keep listing as nv
[11:54] <dreameen> it keeps my CPU speed at 800MhZ constant and it's a 2ghz processor!
[11:54] <intelikey> !nv | RoKFiT
[11:54] <ubotu> RoKFiT: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:54] <fragrag> intelikey: How do I save and exit? On the bottom it says ^X but what do I exactly do?
[11:54] <intelikey> ^ is the control key
[11:54] <intelikey> ctrl X
[11:54] <RoKFiT> intelikey: what can i do?
[11:55] <RoKFiT> i've read the website
[11:55] <RoKFiT> also links from this chat aren't opening in firefox
[11:55] <fragrag> oh, alright :)
[11:55] <fragrag> RoKFiT: I'm gussing Firefox isn't your default browser
[11:55] <dreameen> rubbish i say..
[11:55] <dreameen> farewell
[11:55] <RoKFiT> i put in firefox as default
[11:55] <RoKFiT> "firefox" i set to default
[11:56] <eilker> what is inet addr? is it subnet adress ?
[11:56] <RoKFiT> i set default to "firefox" i mean
[11:56] <intelikey> RoKFiT did you install firefox ?
[11:56] <fragrag> Ok intelikey, I did that
[11:57] <RoKFiT> lol, yeah
[11:57] <RoKFiT> it's open now
[11:57] <intelikey> fragrag that oughta do it.
[11:58] <intelikey> fragrag see if she'll mount now
[11:58] <fragrag> Weird, didn't do it... Wait, I think you made a mistake.. Isn't it suppose to be hdb5 instead of hda5?
[11:58] <intelikey> did i or you make that ?
[11:59] <fragrag> You gave me the line /dev/hda5 /media/hda5 vfat auto,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0
[11:59] <intelikey> fragrag yeah looks like i misread you on the device.  change both hda5  to hdb5    and try it.
[11:59] <fragrag> Ok
[11:59] <RoKFiT> hello, konversation links not opening in firefox
[11:59] <RoKFiT> or any browser for that matter
[12:00] <intelikey> fragrag ok now you know i'm real.... :)
[12:00] <fragrag> I knew you were real, it was RoKFiT that was doubting :)
[12:00] <intelikey> he still is.
[12:00] <RoKFiT> well you guys have ben in here for so long
[12:00] <RoKFiT> i wasn't sure
[12:00] <RoKFiT> my system is so near perfect
[12:01] <RoKFiT> i love kubuntu
[12:01] <intelikey> RoKFiT so copy the link and paste it in the browser until someone that can help you comes in
[12:01] <lenscape> is it me or are two monitors just not enough any more?
[12:02] <intelikey> just right click highlight   and then click the browser address box  clear it and dubble click (or middle if you have three)
[12:02] <fragrag> It says I have to be in root to mount it..
[12:02] <intelikey> lenscape why use a monitor.   doesn't the printer work ?
[12:02] <RoKFiT> found it
[12:02] <intelikey> fragrag ok   sudo mount -a
[12:03] <RoKFiT> but dang, that ntfs put a lot of pops in my music when i copied it all off the disk
[12:03] <RoKFiT> that sucks!
[12:03] <RoKFiT> ntfs driver*
[12:03] <RoKFiT> that seriously needs to get fixed
[12:03] <fragrag> Oh that SoB... /media/hdb5 does not exist
[12:04] <intelikey> probably the sound rendering rather than the disk translation
[12:04] <intelikey> fragrag lol
[12:04] <RoKFiT> intelikey: what sound rendering
[12:04] <RoKFiT> what can i fix?
[12:05] <RoKFiT> or change?
[12:05] <intelikey> fragrag did i misread you or did i ?    so make the dir.     sudo mkdir /media/hdb5
[12:05] <RoKFiT> the amarok engine is xine engine
[12:05] <RoKFiT> on autodetect
[12:05] <RoKFiT> i had this problem in fedora
[12:06] <RoKFiT> any ideas intelikey?
[12:06] <fragrag> Voila!
[12:06] <fragrag> Thanks alot :D
[12:06] <intelikey> RoKFiT my idea is to install sox and play all sound files from the console   but that's probably not acceptable to you.
[12:06] <fragrag> Can Linux read NTFS too?
[12:07] <intelikey> it can
[12:07] <RoKFiT> lol, i don't really want to do that
[12:07] <intelikey> it can write to ntfs but there are warnings that go with that.
[12:07] <RoKFiT> any other options or am i stuck with popping music?
[12:07] <intelikey> RoKFiT idk i'm not much on the gui
[12:08] <RoKFiT> everyone says that
[12:08] <intelikey> don't use one much.
[12:08] <fragrag> Really?.. Alright, I have a feeling, that what I did was rather obsolete.. Or not, I still need to be able to put stuff onto my windows installation so having a third partition as a middleman shouldn't be obsolete
[12:08] <RoKFiT> what do you use?
[12:08] <RoKFiT> cli
[12:08] <intelikey> !cli
[12:08] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[12:08] <intelikey> RoKFiT yes
[12:08] <intelikey> fragrag true that.
[12:09] <RoKFiT> so how do i fix this?
[12:09] <intelikey> i'm finished in 20 minutes.   better make my rounds again.
[12:09] <RoKFiT> there is no solution?
[12:09] <fragrag> Alright, mounting the windows installation shouldn't harm my windows installation right?
[12:09] <Ace2016> hi all
[12:10] <Ace2016> i type "kwrrite" in Alt+f2 it launches opera and tries to go to that address, i just want it to tell me that i there is no such command,
[12:10] <fragrag> Hello ace
[12:10] <Ace2016> How do i change that?
[12:10] <Ace2016> hi fragrag
[12:10] <intelikey> fragrag one could always mount it ro to be safe
[12:10] <fragrag> ro?
[12:10] <Ace2016> read only
[12:10] <fragrag> I'm going on a limb here, but check your opera settings?
[12:11] <fragrag> How do I do that?
[12:11] <fragrag> And is this correct? "/dev/hdb1       /media/hdb1     ntfs    auto,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0"
[12:11] <intelikey> mount /dev/devicenode /media/mountpoint -o ro,umask=000
[12:12] <RoKFiT> how do i fix my audio?
[12:12] <intelikey> fragrag sudo that ^
[12:12] <intelikey> inturpret the devicenode and mountpoint
[12:12] <intelikey> later.
[12:12] <fragrag> I was ahead of you :D
[12:12] <ebees> Hi all. I'm wondering if I can get a bit of advice. I'm running Kubuntu 6.06. I have a 200G HDD and have added a second HDD of 160G. I ran fdisk and deleted all the existing partitions. I then created on partition and wrote the table and exited. I've added the hdd to fstab as /video (for my home vid files that I'm working on) but I the drive is reading as only 89mb! I'm at a bit of loss.
[12:13] <fragrag> Should there be a ntfs in between?
[12:13] <Ace2016> you messed up somewhere?
[12:13] <Ace2016> have a look in qtparted?
[12:13] <intelikey> fragrag in the fstab  your post    change  auto,dmask=000,fmask=111    to   auto,ro,dmask=000,fmask=111
[12:13] <RoKFiT> i just increased sound buffer
[12:13] <RoKFiT> will that fix it?
[12:14] <ebees> Hi Ace. I did and it shows the drive as 149G
[12:14] <fragrag> possibly
[12:14] <Bubba_Gump> how to unrar files using ark?
[12:15] <Ace2016> ebees: where did it say it was 89mb? was it kwikdisk?
[12:15] <RoKFiT> still popping
[12:15] <fragrag> Right, that worked, bloody awesome :D
[12:15] <ebees> No sorry. When I open it in konqueror
[12:15] <ebees> after rebooting
[12:16] <Ace2016> i know, try writing 90mb to it, i wonder what would happen
[12:16] <ebees> just be a minute...putting the baby to bed (now I can use two hands to type :)) back in a mo
[12:16] <Bubba_Gump> awwww...
[12:16] <Bubba_Gump> :)
[12:16] <outime> u
[12:16] <fragrag> :)
[12:16] <outime> Oops :-P
[12:17] <ebees> back
[12:17] <ebees> I tried to write a larger file and it informed me the drive was full! Weird
[12:18] <Ace2016> oh
[12:18] <Ace2016> have you made an 89mb partition at all? say for /boot ?
[12:18] <ebees> If I run df -h
[12:18] <ebees> I get:
[12:19] <ebees> dev/hdb1              89M   27M   57M  33% /video
[12:19] <Bubba_Gump> sorted my ark unrar problem :)
[12:20] <ebees> Hmmmmmmm. just noted in qtparted that it shows the drive label as /boot
[12:20] <ebees> ???
[12:21] <ebees> I *think* I've made an error, but I'm buggered if I know how... or what
[12:21] <Ace2016> oh
[12:22] <Ace2016> where is konqueror saying its 89mb?
[12:22] <RoKFiT> does anyone have a solution?
[12:22] <Ace2016> maybe you've mounted your boot partition as /video  ?
[12:22] <ebees> When I right click on the directory /...........fuck
[12:24] <ebees> sorry.. I had deleted some files from /video and when you wrote that I went back immediately and restored them!!!!!!!!!
[12:24] <ebees> THANKS (in case what you say is true :))
[12:24] <intelikey> which were ?
[12:25] <intelikey> ebees file names ?
[12:25] <ebees> sheeeeesh. Just compared the previously deleted files with my /boot menu... different kernel versions etc... [wipes brow]
[12:25] <ebees> intelikey... sorry, I'm not sure what you mean?
[12:25] <intelikey> trying to figure out if you should be worried
[12:25] <ebees> :) ta
[12:26] <intelikey> ebees do this   sudo fdisk -l
[12:26] <ebees> okay
[12:26] <intelikey> that should show you a list of all your partitions
[12:26] <ebees> does, and I get:
[12:26] <ebees> dev/hdb1               1       19457   156288321   83  Linux
[12:26] <ebees> for the second HDD
[12:27] <ebees> I'm wondering if my fstab entry is incorrect... would that affect that?
[12:27] <ebees> or rather cause this?
[12:27] <intelikey> use the pastebin and lets see it
[12:27] <intelikey> !paste
[12:27] <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 #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:28] <intelikey> there's the url   6
[12:29] <ebees> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35071/
[12:29] <intelikey> ebees you can also do    mount    to see stats on everything mounted
[12:29] <ebees> what a great idea - pastebin
[12:29] <intelikey> errr actually everything recorded in mtab
[12:29] <nacho86> iep
[12:29] <ebees> mount gives me:
[12:30] <eilker> anyone using dhcp server ???
[12:30] <intelikey> ebees that one was not your fstab........
[12:30] <ebees> ooops. Sorry. I'll post that too.
[12:31] <ebees> URL for mount info is:
[12:31] <ebees> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35072/
[12:32] <ebees> fstab is here:
[12:32] <ebees> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35073/
[12:33] <intelikey> ok if you didn't turncate the fstab then you do have a problem there.  it's short
[12:33] <ebees> No, the info is correct
[12:34] <intelikey> line 9  should read   /dev/hdb1       /video          ext3    defaults 0 0
[12:34] <ebees> So I've incorrectly added the info and need to add something else (this is the first time I've done this, to tell the truth)
[12:34] <ebees> okay
[12:34] <intelikey> but that's not all that's going on here.
[12:34] <intelikey> show me what   ls -l /dev/hdb1      says
[12:34] <ebees> okay
[12:35] <ebees> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 65 2006-12-02 21:58 /dev/hdb1
[12:35] <intelikey> hmmm device is correct.
[12:37] <intelikey> ebees idk   i've never see a partition act that way before.
[12:37] <intelikey> ebees df -h | grep hdb
[12:37] <ebees> dev/hdb1              89M   27M   57M  33% /video
[12:38] <intelikey> that's really wierd....
[12:38] <unix_infidel> anyone happen to know of a cli pdf viewer?
[12:38] <intelikey> oh
[12:38] <intelikey> did you fofget to format it after you changed it ?
[12:39] <intelikey> ebees anything on that disk you need to keep ?
[12:39] <ebees> I thought I did....................maybe.... I was holding 3 of 3 at the time
[12:39] <ebees> Nah, nothing on the disk I need
[12:39] <RoKFiT> video driver is a go!
[12:39] <ebees> 1 and 2 of 3 where already asleep :)
[12:39] <RoKFiT> audio, please help
[12:39] <RoKFiT> is there an audio page?
[12:39] <RoKFiT> audio driver page?
[12:40] <intelikey> ebees umount /dev/hdb* && mke2fs -jc /dev/hdb1
[12:40] <intelikey> err sudo them ^
[12:40] <ebees> okay, so run:
[12:40] <intelikey> ebees sudo umount /dev/hdb* && sudo mke2fs -jc /dev/hdb1
[12:40] <ebees> sudo okay
[12:41] <intelikey> and that should take a little while for it to -c the whole disk.
[12:41] <ebees> oh, says /dev/hdb: not mounted
[12:41] <ebees> so just run it without umount?
[12:41] <intelikey> no.
[12:41] <Fortis> is kubuntu now exactly the same as ubuntu, except the DE?
[12:41] <ebees> k
[12:42] <lenscape> does Beagle work on Kubuntu?
[12:42] <intelikey> ebees try this insted. sudo umount /dev/hdb1 ;sudo mke2fs -jc /dev/hdb1
[12:42] <intelikey> should say hdb1 not mounted this time....
[12:42] <ebees> k
[12:42] <ebees> nope... it's writing it
[12:43] <Ace2016> lenscape: kde has kerry, a front end to beagle
[12:43] <ebees> sorry... read too quickly
[12:43] <ebees> says:
[12:43] <intelikey> not mounted and also doing the format
[12:43] <ebees> yup
[12:44] <intelikey> yeah
[12:44] <lenscape> Ace2016: I'll see if it works...
[12:44] <intelikey> ebees that will take a little while
[12:44] <ebees> this is weird experience... I haven't done this before, but thought I knew what I was doing
[12:44] <ebees> no probs. It's still on checking bad block
[12:44] <lenscape> that's picking up a few dependencies...
[12:45] <intelikey> when it finishes      sudo mount /dev/hdb1 ;df -h                  and good luck with it.   i reall gotta go.
[12:45] <ebees> Thanks very much. Your help has been greatly appreciated.
[12:45] <ebees>  :))
[12:45] <intelikey> ebees ^  np.
[12:51] <sergo> Hello
[12:51] <Ace2016> sergo: hi
[12:59] <guiden> I have a rar package, how do I unrar it?
[01:00] <sc0tt> ask it to undress
[01:00] <sc0tt> :D
[01:05] <apokryphos> !rar
[01:05] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:05] <apokryphos> guiden: basically, install unrar-free (or unrar-nonfree, from multiverse) and then you can use ark, kde's file compression manager, to unpack it
[01:07] <apokryphos> guiden: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[01:08] <Bubba_Gump> sc0tt: heh
[01:09] <Bubba_Gump> what's the difference between free and non-free ?
[01:09] <Bubba_Gump> !free
[01:09] <ubotu> freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing

[01:11] <Lantius> wow

[01:48] <gnomefreak> kerry runs beagle doesnt it?
[01:48] <gnomefreak> or it just uses mono like beagle does
[01:48] <heinkel_111> not in kubuntu 6.10 distribution?

[02:06] <dreameen> is there a skin i can use to make linux look like windows xp??
[02:11] <RawSewage> I have 5 gb of free space on one of my Kubuntu drives.  How do I make a partition out of that so I can install Windows XP
[02:11] <binary2k2> RawSewage: is 5GB enough space for XP?
[02:11] <RawSewage> binary2k2, yes
[02:11] <red22> i've followed all steps in 4 "guides" on installing the drivers for my radeon x1950pro and nothing works.. system hangs on startup.  anyone know if/where reliable instructions can be found?
[02:12] <RawSewage> binary2k2, I only need it so I can play Second Life
[02:12] <red22> also, i tried everything at ati.com, and the card is working under winxp fine
[02:12] <RawSewage> In fact, I wont use more than 4 gb for the partition
[02:13] <binary2k2> RawSewage: I'd use the gparted live cd to resize the linux partition and add another parririon
[02:13] <RawSewage> I dont have any more CDs to burn
[02:13] <gsuveg> re
[02:13] <binary2k2> RawSewage: do you have a k/ubuntu (desktop) liveCD
[02:13] <red22> raw: use qparted, it's on the (at least edgy) cd
[02:14] <RawSewage> this is on a diff hard drive than the one Im on now
[02:14] <RawSewage> red22, ok, I'll try that
[02:14] <gsuveg> for me the knetworkmanager dont connect auto to my wpa network. it is possible to setup?
[02:14] <red22> it's easy and mostly graphical
[02:14] <RawSewage> good
[02:14] <red22> i tried resizing a partition and didn't lost anything
[02:14] <red22> *lose
[02:15] <RawSewage> are you sure thats the name
[02:16] <binary2k2> RawSewage: qparted ist he QT (KDE) version gparted is the GTK (gnome) version, both do the same thing tho
[02:16] <RawSewage> binary2k2, I dont see that anywhere
[02:16] <red22> anyone know where i can find reliable info on how to install drivers for ati x1950pro ?
[02:17] <red22> raw: see if you have plain old "parted", not graphical though
[02:17] <binary2k2> RawSewage: it's on the liveCD, you can also install it with Adept/apt-get
[02:17] <RawSewage> ok
[02:17] <RawSewage> it cant find that package
[02:18] <red22> try gparted, that one should work
[02:18] <micke_e> yesterday all the black in pictures on my system got messed up. Instead of black, it's a mess of different dark colors. Anyone know what the problem is? It's the same in opera, konqueror and gqview, but black text looks all right
[02:18] <binary2k2> RawSewage: ahh, its qtparted
[02:18] <RawSewage> ok
[02:18] <binary2k2> missed out the  "t" :p
[02:18] <red22> ah yeah
[02:19] <red22> anyone have any luck with an ati x1950 pro or similar pls?
[02:19] <micke_e> or if anyone at least have any idea on what to google for, I cant find anything
[02:19] <red22> as soon as i walked out of the store i knew i should have gone nvidia..
[02:20] <binary2k2> red22: have you tried the ubuntu help page for installing binary drivers?
[02:20] <red22> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?highlight=%28driver%29%7C%28binary%29%7C%28howto%29#head-123c48c83c49553bdd4260ff972ffacdff04580e < this one?
[02:20] <red22> o wait not that one
[02:21] <red22> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?highlight=%28driver%29%7C%28binary%29%7C%28howto%29
[02:21] <red22> that one?
[02:21] <binary2k2> yeah, that one
[02:22] <red22> was no help. machine just freezes at startup
[02:22] <red22> but, i did learn a lot of OTHER things about linux in the process, so i guess not all was lost
[02:23] <binary2k2> I only have intergrated intel graphics, so can't help with ati
[02:23] <binary2k2> tho, istalling beryl was easy
[02:23] <red22> ridiculous. somebody must be paying companies to keep linux video drivers crappy.
[02:23] <FlightOfStairs> hello
[02:23] <red22> beryl? is that another distro?
[02:24] <FlightOfStairs> it's a eye candy thing
[02:24] <binary2k2> beryl is a fork of compiz (the 3D cube thing :P )
[02:24] <red22> ah i'm not there yet. i'm still doing software aparently since all my windows flicker when i scroll
[02:24] <FlightOfStairs> what gfx card?
[02:25] <red22> x1950pro
[02:25] <RawSewage> so... using qtparted....  I select the drive I want to add a partition to
[02:25] <RawSewage> what do I do next.  Im afraid to click Format
[02:25] <RawSewage> I dont want to erase the whole thing
[02:25] <binary2k2> RawSewage: yes, then resize the linux partition to add 5GB free space
[02:25] <red22> arg. gotta seriously run and not get fired... if you know anything please post it and i'll check logs later ty bye be back later
[02:26] <RawSewage> binary2k2, I click Format?
[02:26] <FlightOfStairs> k
[02:26] <binary2k2> RawSewage: not before you resize the linux partition
[02:27] <RawSewage> binary2k2, Resize is grayed out
[02:27] <hyper_ch> anyone has an idea who I can play old dos games?
[02:27] <binary2k2> RawSewage: did you click on the linux partition first?
[02:28] <RawSewage> binary2k2, oh, I guess I resize the Extended
[02:28] <RawSewage> no
[02:28] <binary2k2> hyper_ch: have you looked at dosemu
[02:28] <RawSewage> ext3 wont let me resize
[02:29] <binary2k2> RawSewage: is the partition currently mounred? and are you running qtparted as root?
[02:29] <RawSewage> binary2k2, not mounted.  running as sudo
[02:29] <RawSewage> I'll do root
[02:29] <hyper_ch> binary2k2: not so far... I tried to run it in my win2k vmware station but that didn't work
[02:29] <binary2k2> sudo is root
[02:29] <RawSewage> damn
[02:29] <RawSewage> wait
[02:29] <RawSewage> maybe I wasnt running it as sudo
[02:30] <RawSewage> yeah, I was
[02:30] <RawSewage> and it's not mounted
[02:30] <RawSewage> oh
[02:30] <RawSewage> maybe I need to be logged onto that hard drive
[02:31] <RawSewage> I'll go log onto that drive
[02:31] <binary2k2> RawSewage: what do you mean "logged onto that hard drive"?
[02:31] <RawSewage> binary2k2, I have Kubuntu on this hard drive and the target hard drive
[02:31] <RawSewage> Im trying to resize the target HD
[02:31] <RawSewage> does that make sense
[02:32] <binary2k2> RawSewage: if you logon to the target one, then it will be mounted, and you won't be able to resize it
[02:32] <RawSewage> oh
[02:33] <giometz> hi all
[02:34] <giometz> is there any plugin to see quicktime videos in firefox?
[02:34] <FlightOfStairs> hello
[02:34] <FlightOfStairs> use the vlc one :)
[02:34] <giometz> thanks FlightOfStairs
[02:35] <giometz> does it work with streaming videos?
[02:35] <FlightOfStairs> sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
[02:35] <FlightOfStairs> think so
[02:36] <giometz> 'cause I've installed it now, but it displays "(no video)"
[02:37] <binary2k2> giometz: do you have the w32codecs package?
[02:38] <RoKFiT> can anyone help, i installed the nvidia-glx driver and now i'm seeing colors wrong
[02:38] <giometz> no binary2k2, I don't, should I install them?
[02:39] <binary2k2> giometz: yeah, it has the quicktime codec in it
[02:39] <giometz> apt says they're referred to another package but it doesn't tell me which one
[02:39] <binary2k2> giometz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#w32codecs
[02:39] <giometz> thanks
[02:40] <FlightOfStairs> RoKFiT: try nvidia-settings?
[02:44] <michaelpo> hi... i'm trying to view youtube.... it require flash? do i install from downloading from adobe? or do i use adept? i have downloaded from adobe, it ask me to install gsfonts and gsfonts-x11. how? it ask me for installation path of konqueror? where is it?
[02:44] <larson9999> michaelpo, i'd install the flash 9 beta for linux.  i don't think that in the repos though

[02:45] <ubotu> michaelpo: You can download a Flash 9 installer here: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/dapper-seveas/backports/ (replace dapper-seveas with edgy-seveas for Edgy).  If you use GDebi to install it, make sure you open its terminal window (to answer an installer question).

[03:12] <HymnToLife> check your sources.list
[03:12] <ubunturos_> HymnToLife: any specific repo required
[03:12] <ubunturos_> ?
[03:13] <HymnToLife> nope, should be in main
[03:13] <HymnToLife> since it's in the default Ubuntu install
[03:13] <ubunturos_> HymnToLife: umm
[03:13] <HymnToLife> please pastebin your sources.list
[03:13] <larson999> mozilla-firefox i think it's called
[03:14] <HymnToLife> nope, firefox
[03:14] <HymnToLife> just checked on packages.ubuntu.com
[03:14] <klerfayt> how does this "hardware database" get a unique ID?
[03:14] <ubunturos_> http://pastebin.ca/264275
[03:14] <larson999> so much for my memory.
[03:14] <HymnToLife> well, moeilla-firefox exists too, it was une in pre-Dapper
[03:14] <HymnToLife> but now it's just a dummy for transition to 'firefox'
[03:15] <HymnToLife> hmm
[03:15] <HymnToLife> definitely should work
[03:15] <HymnToLife> try an apt-get update before

[03:20] <carlos_> hi

[03:28] <hyper_ch> how can I create an image from a bootable floppy that I then can put onto another floppy and it will still be bootable?
[03:30] <llutz> hyper_ch: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=image.img
[03:30] <llutz> hyper_ch: new floppy and: dd of=/dev/fd0 if=image.img
[03:31] <hyper_ch> llutz: hmm, friend of mine copied his bootdisk like that (althought with a .iso file extension) and sent it to me... I then tried to read the iso from vmware... no luck... changed the extension to .img still no luck...
[03:31] <llutz> hyper_ch: you can call that file like you want, names are nothin
[03:32] <hyper_ch> llutz but I wonder why vmware does not want to boot from it
[03:32] <llutz> ask vmware
[03:32] <hyper_ch> llutz: if the floppies are damaged, will dd output an error?
[03:33] <llutz> hyper_ch: yes it should. i create images like that since ages, it always workes
[03:33] <llutz> hyper_ch: you also can use "cat /dev/fd0 >image.file"
[03:34] <hyper_ch> llutz: I'll try creating the floppies here
[03:35] <nagyv> is there a way to run a program (I have a bash script that stops kaffeine and/or amarok) when someone calls me on skype?
[03:36] <klerfayt> this is my hardware id http://tinyurl.com/ygf5b8 - it shows odd info "couldn't detect laptop" - now what is different in "laptop" and "desktop" installation?
[03:40] <hyper_ch> llutz: thx .... it's working this way... I hope I still ahve enough floppies that are not damaged

[04:18] <Ayabara> I want to backup my image collection to a dvd. I want to protect this media, and I figure I could either encrypt the files before I burn them, or use some sort of packer with password protection
[04:18] <Ayabara> any advice?
[04:19] <ubuntu>
[04:19] <Ayabara> I have tried making a 4GB encrypted file, but neither k3b, the default ubuntu burner or growisofs will burn it. seems 4GB is over some kind of limit
[04:19] <zorglu_> Ayabara: it depends on you, you could encrypt the whole dvd or file by fail
[04:20] <zorglu_> Ayabara: to encrypt the file via pgp is likely the most portable
[04:20] <Ayabara> zorglu_, "encrypt the whole dvd or file by fail". I didn't understand that sentence :-)
[04:21] <zorglu_> fail=file :)
[04:21] <Ayabara> ahh
[04:21] <Ayabara> damn
[04:21] <Ayabara> sorry
[04:21] <Ayabara> though it was an application or something :-)
[04:21] <zorglu_> no need to be sorry, the mistake was mine :)
[04:22] <Ayabara> do you see any reason why I can't burn a 4GB file? is there a 2GB limit somewhere in the chain?
[04:24] <Ayabara> aha. iso doesn't support files bigger than 2gb.
[04:24] <zorglu_> really ?
[04:25] <zorglu_> so the dvd image are not iso ?
[04:25] <tenco> someone using kboincspy with edgy here?
[04:25] <zorglu_> i remember seeing dvd image with .iso larger than 2gbyte
[04:25] <zorglu_> Ayabara: im not a user of dvd burner tho :) i dont think i ever burnt oen
[04:26] <zorglu_> tenco: no, what is it ?
[04:26] <tenco> zorglu_: kde frontend to boinc
[04:26] <Ayabara> zorglu_, I tried k3b, but it said 4GB was too much, and tried to switch to udf format.
[04:26] <tenco> zorglu_: can't register with einstein@home
[04:26] <Ayabara> zorglu_, thanks for helping. football match now :-)
[04:26] <zorglu_> and what is boinc ? :)\
[04:26] <tenco> zorglu_: kboincspy simply hangs there and does nothing
[04:26] <zorglu_> Ayabara: ok :)
[04:27] <tenco> zorglu_: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
[04:29] <zorglu_> tenco: hehe seems to be fun :)
[04:31] <tenco> zorglu_: tried old-fashioned manual registration on the website. works now :)
[04:31] <angasule> an iso can be larger than the disc it describes, there are CD iso images larger than 700MB that still fit in a 700MB CD
[04:32] <zorglu_> tenco: cool :)
[04:34] <adz21c> hey, I am running Edgy 6.10 amd64. When I first log in to KDE all my colours look like they are on a low setting, however soon as I run glxgears, everything looks normal till I reboot. Any ideas why this could be and how I could fix it?

[05:03] <angasule> in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is a line that read BusID           "PCI:0:5:0", can anyone tell me what it means? I mucked with it a bit and that got X back up, but I'd like to know why :) (changed it to 1:0:0)
[05:04] <llutz> angasule: it is the pci-id of your graphics adapter (lspci)

I can then reinstall the driver and X will start fine, but then when I reboot... same thing.

[05:46] <Ash-Fox> Anyone happen to know any how tos on getting ESD working under kubuntu?
[05:46] <angasule> knapp: my guess is you have to uninstall the old nvidia kernel module
[05:47] <knapp> angasule, how can I do this?
[05:48] <angasule> knapp: well, I'd simply delete the module and hope nothing else breaks, I don't know what the proper way is

[05:51] <Digital_Pioneer> HELP ME! My Kubuntu fried. I will elaborate.
[05:51] <Digital_Pioneer> Very few commands work

[05:51] <Digital_Pioneer> 'make' "Command not found"
[05:52] <Digital_Pioneer> 'jam' "Command not found"
[05:52] <Digital_Pioneer> Etc.
[05:52] <Digital_Pioneer> It did a kernel panic on startup once, and then this.
[05:52] <Digital_Pioneer> (It did this before the kernel panic, so I rebooted. Got the panic, rebooted again, and got this. Now I'm booting into recovery mode.)
[05:53] <Digital_Pioneer> Also, /etc/init.d/kdm start and the like do nothing. No errors, no output whatsoever.
[05:53] <knapp> angasule, how can I remove it?
[05:53] <Digital_Pioneer> Groups: command not found
[05:54] <knapp> angasule, sorry, i didnt see the responce

[05:54] <knapp> angasule, where is the module located? How can I find it?
[05:54] <angasule> knapp: :) someone will know better, I usually just tinker with it until it's fixed or broken so badly I have to reinstall

[05:59] <ubotu> ubuntu: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[05:59] <kai_> your ubunut
[05:59] <kai_> you have to a .deb
[05:59] <ubuntu> o
[05:59] <ubuntu> ok
[06:00] <Digital_Pioneer> gtwy: I explained it earlier. Basically, nothing does anything.
[06:00] <Digital_Pioneer> gtwy: I have no GUI, only console.
[06:00] <kai_> rpms will not work in ubuntu
[06:00] <Digital_Pioneer> gtwy: And console does nothing.
[06:00] <leo__> is kdevelop present in any kubuntu package repository?
[06:00] <kai_> find a .deb instead
[06:00] <mikki> i got kubuntu
[06:00] <yehudit> digital dd backup  your homedir and reinstall
[06:00] <Digital_Pioneer> gtwy: Only things I've found to work are cd and reboot.
[06:01] <leo__> or am i down to just compiling it from source?
[06:01] <Digital_Pioneer> yehudit: No other options?? :'((
[06:01] <yehudit> Digital_Pioneer: dd backup your homedir and reinstall
[06:01] <yehudit> that is a good option Digital_Pioneer
[06:01] <Digital_Pioneer> yehudit: And one I'd like to consider a last resort!
[06:01] <yehudit> a windowze option
[06:01] <yehudit> your choice
[06:01] <kai_> Im sayin k/Ubuntu uses .deb for packages
[06:02] <yehudit> noneed to format
[06:02] <yehudit> simply install same things
[06:02] <kai_> uses aptituted and search for the progrom, ots prolly in there
[06:02] <Digital_Pioneer> yehudit: My Kubuntu installer won't install w/o reformatting.
[06:03] <leo__> nevermind
[06:03] <yehudit>  so use alternate CD my friend Digital_Pioneer
[06:03] <yehudit> !alternate
[06:03] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[06:04] <Digital_Pioneer> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[06:04] <ds_> #wine
[06:04] <yehudit> lots of mm up there\ !hmm Digital_Pioneer
[06:04] <yehudit> heard of alternate CD ?
[06:05] <Digital_Pioneer> yehudit: Nope.

[07:27] <Dr_willis> ive had very bad luck with my webcams. No support at all..
[07:27] <crusty> the installation support came with the drives.....the problem is that im new on linux kubuntu
[07:27] <londo4> How can I uninstall programes on kubuntu?
[07:28] <nagyv> crusty: what kind of webcam is this? Mine worked out of the box.
[07:28] <nagyv> !install

[07:28] <ckd> hat hier einer ahung von netzwerken ?
[07:28] <Dr_willis> londo4,  use the package manager adept, or synaptic, and click/remove.. OR use the command line tool like i mentioned earlier
[07:28] <crusty> SN9C105
[07:28] <Dr_willis> londo4,  read  up on Apt ussage
[07:29] <crusty> LUKY YOU! apparentlly mine is not........
[07:29] <guglielf> any idea how to link (lets say on the desktop) a given document in the kde help center?
[07:30] <_MasterMind_> Any1 knows what could be the problem? On Gentoo I would uninstall xkeyboard-config and recompiled xkbdata.. here doesn't work :(
[07:30] <nagyv> crusty: could you find a linux driver or you would like to use the windows driver?
[07:31] <guglielf> ok, found by myself
[07:32] <crusty> i did find the linux driver.....according to the owner thay should support this particular webcam
[07:32] <ubuntu> what's the italian chanel for kubuntu again?
[07:33] <crusty> i do not mind to use windows driver if it posiible!!!!!!!!1
[07:33] <ubuntu> can u paste me again the italian chans for kubuntu ?
[07:34] <cyrex> anyone here who would be pleased to help a newbie with the nvidia graphics drivers :)? it seems like at #nvidia everyone just fell asleep ^^
[07:34] <ubuntu> thanx

[07:35] <cyrex> i just started using linux
[07:36] <_MasterMind_> aha..
[07:36] <crusty> nagyv: this is the link where i did download the file.......http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=102
[07:36] <cyrex> and i cant set the resolution of my monitor higher than 60 Hz
[07:36] <_MasterMind_> did you do apt-get install nvidia-glx ? (or using adept)
[07:36] <fragrag> Cyrex, did you try system settings->display?
[07:36] <_MasterMind_> and which graphic card
[07:36] <cyrex> yop
[07:36] <_MasterMind_> and try that also..
[07:36] <_MasterMind_> try configuring the Display..
[07:36] <fragrag> And changing resolution?
[07:36] <cyrex> GeForce 4 4200 Ti
[07:37] <_MasterMind_> selecting the right monitor or reslution scheme..
[07:37] <_MasterMind_> in Hardware tab
[07:37] <cyrex> cant also set res. higher than 1024x768
[07:37] <fragrag> It's possible that at your current resolution you don't support +60Hz
[07:37] <_MasterMind_> I think the monitor is wrongly configured...
[07:37] <_MasterMind_> (Had the same prob)
[07:37] <_MasterMind_> Try going System settings->Display

[07:38] <_MasterMind_> go to Administraton mode.
[07:38] <_MasterMind_> and klik on the Configure button on Screen (A monitor icon)
[07:39] <cyrex> i only have screenresolution at System > Settings
[07:39] <nagyv> crusty: did you already read the included txt file? you will have to create a kernel module, probably all the steps are well detailed in the file. but you will probably need the kernel headers, and I do not know which flags were set for the actual ubuntu kernel.
[07:39] <cyrex> but ive found the  hardwaremanager
[07:39] <_MasterMind_> you don't have monitor & display ?
[07:40] <cyrex> i'm german and installed ubuntu in german ^^
[07:40] <crusty> i did! but i can not understand everyting! thats why i do need halp.
[07:40] <_MasterMind_> under Computer administration :P
[07:40] <_MasterMind_> ok.. must go :) (Has a monitor icon)
[07:41] <crusty> well don't worry! thank you anyway.......
[07:41] <crusty> ill find a way to do that
[07:43] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: Sorry a long unexpected afk
[07:43] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: I deleted the files a few days ago, and then re-installed kaffeine.
[07:44] <cpufreak91> ah. He's gone. ;)
[07:44] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: Sorry a long unexpected afk
[07:44] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: I deleted the files a few days ago, and then re-installed kaffeine.
[07:45] <XVampireX> Something really fucked up just happened
[07:45] <XVampireX> cpufreak91: now it doesn't work?
[07:45] <cpufreak91> nope
[07:45] <cpufreak91> still nothing
[07:45] <XVampireX> purge it and install it again
[07:45] <cpufreak91> would a Purge help?
[07:45] <cpufreak91> ok
[07:45] <XVampireX> may very well help
[07:47] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: Darn it. Still nothing
[07:48] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: I purged it
[07:48] <XVampireX> no idea
[07:49] <cpufreak91> It's almost as if I were running a blank bash script
[07:53] <XVampireX> cpufreak91: you're not missing anything, use kmplayer
[07:54] <XVampireX> cpufreak91: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2482838
[07:54] <XVampireX> Should work for kubuntu too
[07:57] <XVampireX> cpufreak91: LOL!!!!!!!! OMG! that was funny! I found that link on page of a google search for a "arch linux review 0.8"
[08:03] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: hahaha
[08:04] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: could I have the link?
[08:04] <XVampireX> What?
[08:04] <XVampireX> I just gave it to you
[08:04] <XVampireX> Or what do you mean?
[08:05] <cpufreak91> oh I see now
[08:05] <cpufreak91> sorry
[08:05] <cpufreak91> I thought the link for the funny arch review was different
[08:06] <cpufreak91> XVampireX: Thanks for the LQ link
[08:06] <cpufreak91> kaffeine --nofork works
[08:06] <XVampireX> :P
[08:07] <zorglu_> dunno this option
[08:07] <amik> hi, I have a zd1211 based wireless USB device, which works ok (WPA and all). however, after a few hours it dies, and only a reboot connects again. anyone have any ideas where to start looking for a solution?
[08:07] <zorglu_> what is the use of --nofork
[08:07] <cpufreak91> however regular kaffeine still doesn't work
[08:07] <cpufreak91> so I have to fix a few KDE configs but at least it works
[08:08] <Digital_Pioneer> XVampireX: So, find any sweet games?
[08:08] <XVampireX> Digital_Pioneer: No :P
[08:08] <cpufreak91> ah
[08:08] <cpufreak91> nvm
[08:08] <zorglu_> http://tremulous.net <- sweet game :0
[08:08] <XVampireX> Perhaps, yes
[08:08] <cpufreak91> dcop kaffeine MainApdcop kaffeine MainApplication-Interface quit
[08:08] <cpufreak91> fixed everything
[08:08] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Yes, I like it too.
[08:08] <XVampireX> :D
[08:08] <Digital_Pioneer> But I suck at it.
[08:08] <zorglu_> i dont :)
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> Yeah, but you get abused if you do.
[08:09] <zorglu_> well im unbalancer :)
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> :(
[08:09] <amik> anyone?
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> Besides, my system is fried ATM, so....
[08:09] <zorglu_> like real good on human and ultimatly bad at alien :)
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: What?
[08:09] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: deconner ?
[08:09] <zorglu_> amik: this is ultra specific man
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Yeah, I suck at human, die before spawning at alien.
[08:09] <amik> Pioneer: hi, I have a zd1211 based wireless USB device, which works ok (WPA and all). however, after a few hours it dies, and only a reboot connects again.
[08:09] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: What's deconner mean?
[08:10] <amik> zorglu: I don't even know where to search for or post a bug... any leads?
[08:10] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: What's the device id? wlan0?
[08:10] <Lam_> wow that looks like a fun game. it's linux native?
[08:10] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: i was trying to understand what you meant by 'abused'. deconner are people destroying base just for the 'fun' of ennoying other player
[08:10] <Digital_Pioneer> Lam_: Tremulous? Yeah, it's Linux.
[08:10] <amik> Pioneer: how do I check?
[08:10] <zorglu_> linux/win/mac
[08:10] <Lam_> cool
[08:11] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Roundly cussed out, basically.
[08:11] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: Try "iwconfig"
[08:11] <amik> ok, KNetworkManager says it's eth1
[08:11] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: OK.
[08:11] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: Do iwconfig to make sure.
[08:11] <Digital_Pioneer> Only one should list data.
[08:12] <amik> confirmed
[08:12] <Digital_Pioneer> The rest should say something about no wireless stuff found.
[08:12] <Digital_Pioneer> OK. :D
[08:12] <mohammed> i wonder if someone could help me through this , but some of kde system settings components are no longer functioning !
[08:12] <Digital_Pioneer> When it dies, do "dhclient eth1"
[08:12] <Digital_Pioneer> mohammed: You're sure you're using the right commands?
[08:12] <Digital_Pioneer> amik: If that doesn't work, do "'/etc/init.d/networking restart"
[08:13] <amik> right now I'm after a reboot, so I can't test online
[08:13] <mohammed> what commands ?
[08:13] <Digital_Pioneer> mohammed: I think I misunderstood the question.... I probably have no clue.
[08:13] <amik> I played around when it happened though, and I think something got stuck at the USB level. I tried lsusb which hung
[08:13] <mohammed> kk
[08:14] <amik> and shutdown hung too - I had to do a cold boot
[08:14] <zorglu_> amik: did it worked on dapper ?
[08:14] <max_> is there any way to install kubuntu from a konsole?
[08:15] <max_> i cant boot from the CD
[08:15] <zorglu_> !install
[08:15] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:15] <zorglu_> not this page
[08:15] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: What's currently installed?
[08:15] <zorglu_> max_: there is a page just for you
[08:15] <max_> kubuntu
[08:16] <zorglu_> oh no, this page is good
[08:16] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: You're trying to install Kubuntu over Kubuntu?
[08:16] <amik> zorglu: I'm not sure, I just installed Kubuntu for the first time a short while ago - it was Dapper, but shortly after I reinstalled with Edgy. I'm not sure if I had the wireless setup then at all.
[08:16] <max_> yes, mine is broke
[08:16] <zorglu_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation <- max_ this give many way to install even without booting cd
[08:16] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: Ahhh, well, I would recommend you check your boot orders.
[08:16] <max_> thats not the proble
[08:16] <max_> m
[08:16] <max_> i deleted some things i shouldnt hav
[08:16] <max_> e
[08:16] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Is there a way to install the system files again without reinstalling Kubuntu?
[08:17] <zorglu_> amik: im asking because just today a guy complained about its usb freezing on edgy and said it was ok on dapper
[08:17] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: My system is fried ATM, and I need to install again but not lose my programs and files.
[08:17] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: no
[08:17] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Rats.
[08:17] <amik> what was his solution? :-)
[08:17] <zorglu_> amik: he didnt have one
[08:17] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: You should make sure you are checking the CD for boot directives before the HDD.
[08:18] <amik> do u know if this is a known reported bug? where would I search for it? or file it?
[08:18] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: oh ok, well this one is simple, backup the personnal stuff, reinstall the os, restore personnal stuff
[08:18] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: If not, you can't boot from CD as long as you have a hard drive with an OS on it, broken or not.
[08:18] <zorglu_> amik: hmm looks like a driver/kernel issue
[08:18] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Not quite so simple...
[08:18] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: I have files in /home, programs in /usr, settings in /etc....
[08:18] <zorglu_> amik: i would google to see if im alone if i were you
[08:19] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: my personnal stuff all goes in /home just to avoid this very issue
[08:19] <Digital_Pioneer> And right now I'm stuck on windoze clicking away an alert that says to reboot every 2 seconds. AAARGGGH! I don't like windoze much.
[08:19] <lbulb> need some help with servers--what is the address for undernet: irc.undernet.net?
[08:19] <amik> zorglu_: I tried that before coming here... found tutorials and stuff about getting it to work in the first place, which is not my problem. didn't see anything specific on it freezing after a while.
[08:20] <Digital_Pioneer> zorglu_: Well, I'd love to install programs, settings, and files in /home and then make /home a separate partiton, but I haven't the foggiest idea how!
[08:20] <max_> Digital_Pioneer: i cant boot up normally, i have to put the CD in and choose Boot From First Harddrive....thats the only choice i can do, i cant do "Start or Install Kubuntu" and i cant do any of the installers on that pagee because i dont have a floppy drivew
[08:20] <zorglu_> Digital_Pioneer: good time to learn
[08:21] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: You're sure you aren't going to GRUB (if you use it) or something like that?
[08:21] <zorglu_> amik: i would say google for 'usb freeze ubuntu'
[08:21] <zorglu_> amik: quite a lot of stuff pop out
[08:21] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: On mine, the first thing I see on bootup is like a BIOS spash screen or something.
[08:22] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: I can hit esc and check which hardware I want to boot from
[08:22] <max_> mine wont boot period with out the cd...jsut black screen with blinking white line
[08:22] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: It sounds to me, then, like your BIOS is blown... But I really don't know.
[08:23] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: Usually, you can enter a system setup before even looking at the harddrive, and change where you boot from.
[08:23] <max_> i cant
[08:23] <tony__> anyone know why my usb controller isn't seen or how to configure it?
[08:23] <cloakable> ...is there any good way to record from last.fm with KDE/Linux?
[08:23] <max_> nothing loads at all
[08:24] <Digital_Pioneer> cloakable: I'd love to do that! LOL
[08:24] <tony__> cloakable: yes, apt-cache search lastfm, i think
[08:24] <Digital_Pioneer> cloakable: Never could figure it out though.
[08:24] <amik> zorglu_: thanks, I'll do some more research, see if I can find anything related.
[08:24] <Digital_Pioneer> tony__: I think he means rip the stream to MP3, not just listening to it.
[08:24] <amik> btw, I just saw a new kernel was released too, with some updates to this driver - any idea if/when this will be available as an Edgy upgrade?
[08:25] <tony__> Digital_Pioneer: yes, i'm sure i downloaded it in case i needed it in the basic repositories, but i can't remember half of what i apt-get
[08:25] <Digital_Pioneer> tony__: Is your controller in lsusb?
[08:26] <zorglu_> amik: nope...
[08:26] <luh> hi
[08:26] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: Hi. :)
[08:26] <luh> hi Digital_Pioneer
[08:26] <cloakable> tony__: No go. Only official client, with no recording.
[08:26] <tony__> cloakable: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:DyT6PDwFM9kJ:kde-apps.org/content/show.php%3Fcontent%3D32842+record+streaming+last.fm+kde&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=firefox-a
[08:26] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: Hi, luh. :)
[08:27] <tony__> kstreamrecorder also, i think
[08:27] <max_> Digital_Pioneer: is there no other way to install with out a CD or a Floppy?
[08:27] <lbulb> Digital_Pioneer: need some help with servers: if I'm trying to connect to undernet, do I add on the server list irc.undernet.net..is there a list with those- I'm using ubuntu
[08:27] <luh> in the wiki of kubuntu it says to change the root pwd with sudo passwd root
[08:27] <malik__> can any1 tell me plz that why in edgy konqueror can play all the media types off of the internet and firefox cant play anything?
[08:27] <Digital_Pioneer> max_: Not that I know of.............
[08:27] <luh> but this obviously just changes the password for logging in or changing to a root-terminal with su
[08:27] <luh> but kdesu and gnomesu still want my password
[08:27] <cloakable> tony__: kstreamripper does regular radio, so does RecordRadio, Neither works with last.fm
[08:27] <luh> how can i change that as well?
[08:28] <tony__> malik__: did you add a firefox plugin like the mplayer one?
[08:28] <tony__> oops, that's why i dl'ed it thinking it would be good for that
[08:28] <Digital_Pioneer> lbulb: If you want to connect to irc.undernet.net, I would say you put irc.undernet.net as your server. :)
[08:28] <malik__> no idont think so.......cud that may be the cause?.....coz i think konqueror was playing everything outta box
[08:29] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: Change your password to root's. :)
[08:29] <malik__> plus i cudnt get gedit command to work in kubuntu either
[08:29] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: SU uses root.
[08:29] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: KDESU uses sudo.
[08:29] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: I can't remember how to change it to su instead.
[08:30] <tony__> Digital_Pioneer: isn't there a way though as in windows, to just record what you hear in kde?
[08:30] <luh> Digital_Pioneer, changing my passwd to roots would be counter-productive
[08:30] <Digital_Pioneer> tony__: Sure... Try audacity.
[08:30] <tony__> nm, i'm sure there's a way, just may take some research
[08:30] <luh> so - now - how can i change the sudo passwd?
[08:30] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: True. ;)
[08:31] <luh> why doesn't that just read the normal passwd file?
[08:31] <Digital_Pioneer> luh: the sudo password _is_ your password.
[08:31] <Digital_Pioneer> tony__: You can make Audacity record from the soundcard.
[08:32] <malik__> plus can any one tell me shud i stick with ubuntu or kubuntu?
[08:33] <malik__> or totally go over to fedora 6?
[08:33] <tony__> Digital_Pioneer: i thought so in windows but haven't gotten around to using it yet in linux
[08:33] <Charlemagne> Does kubuntu support the RT2500 wireless chipset from RALink?
[08:34] <robotgeek> Charlemagne: it should work out of the box
[08:34] <Charlemagne> Just what I wanted to hear =)
[08:34] <tony__> malik__: it's a matter of choice. i like kubuntu myself. i've never learned more about linux than i have with kubuntu
[08:35] <Digital_Pioneer> tony__: aptitude install audacity
[08:36] <tony__> Digital_Pioneer: yes, i got it installed and toyed with it for a sec. it's got a rather ugly UI compared to it's windows app
[08:36] <malik__> and when i query the webcam i can see it with lsusb command but its not working with my amsn instead my tv tuner card comes up as video device .......how do i setup my web cam?

[08:51] <louis> hi
[08:51] <Digital_Pioneer> archangel_: www.google.com/linux
[08:52] <Digital_Pioneer> archangel_: Search there. Better results.
[08:52] <archangel_> I do tony__
[08:52] <archangel_> thanks
[08:52] <zorglu_> moauoua he is on #kubuntu-offtopic bad mouthing on #kubuntu this time :)
[08:53] <tony__> archangel_: i would also recommend xqf game server to join your friends or clan in games
[08:53] <archangel_> great ok
[08:53] <billytwowilly> so if my mouse is not recognized by kubuntu and no entry is in dmesg showing it connected what should I do?
[08:54] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: What kind of mouse?
[08:54] <Digital_Pioneer> PS/2 or USB?
[08:54] <billytwowilly> usb
[08:55] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Do you have console?
[08:55] <billytwowilly> Digital_Pioneer: yep
[08:55] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Good, lsusb.
[08:55] <ckd> where can i download the 2.6.18 kernel for my edgy ?
[08:55] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: See if it's listed.
[08:55] <billytwowilly> it's a laptop, so the touchpad still works
[08:55] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: If not, then it isn't connected properly.
[08:55] <billytwowilly> Digital_Pioneer: it's not listed.
[08:55] <Digital_Pioneer> ckd: www.kernel.org
[08:56] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Then it isn't connected properly. :)
[08:56] <billytwowilly> Digital_Pioneer: is there any way to check if the usb bus on the laptop is broken?
[08:56] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Sure: connect something else there, and lsusb it.
[08:56] <billytwowilly> the led is on on the mouse... and it's plugged in. so either the mouse is busted or the  usb host is;)
[08:57] <cloakable> There. LastFMProxy, RecordRadio, and Amarok appear to be working.
[08:57] <billytwowilly> k, so nothing is changing when I plug something else in... to any of the ports...
[08:58] <ckd> Digital_Pioneer: thx but i diddnt can burn it
[08:58] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: That means power is getting to the mouse... But the computer doesn't see it. Probably your bus is fried.
[08:58] <Digital_Pioneer> ckd: What?
[08:58] <billytwowilly> Digital_Pioneer: is there a way to test for sure?
[08:58] <robotgeek> billytwowilly: connect a different, working mouse :)
[08:58] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Probably.. But IDK it.
[08:58] <billytwowilly> heh.
[08:58] <billytwowilly> crappy.
[08:58] <billytwowilly> so i gotta buy a new laptop then.
[08:59] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Not necessarily.
[08:59] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: Check your lspci for the bus.
[08:59] <billytwowilly> the bus is there...
[08:59] <ckd> Digital_Pioneer:  no ready kernel, i needit couse a sky2 patch mei lan is brocken evrytime
[09:00] <Digital_Pioneer> ckd: No clue where packages are. I just use what comes installed...
[09:00] <Digital_Pioneer> ckd: Don't know how to compile 'em either.
[09:01] <Digital_Pioneer> billytwowilly: I don't know then. Maybe the mouse is broken. You would need a more knowledgable person than I.
[09:02] <billytwowilly> Digital_Pioneer: I plugged in a known working mouse to all the other ports and none work. Earlier I was getting  some usb debounce error thing... I think you're right and it's fried.
[09:03] <Bubba_Gump> seems a waste to buy a new laptop
[09:04] <tony__> billytwowilly: do you have a usb>ps2 adapter to try
[09:04] <Bubba_Gump> can you repair ?
[09:04] <billytwowilly> I don't have a ps2 port.
[09:04] <tony__> oh
[09:04] <Digital_Pioneer> Yeah, you could probably just get a new USB bus... No idea though.
[09:05] <billytwowilly> heh. well the laptop was getting replaced next september anyway.
[09:05] <tony__> billytwowilly: have you tried lmctl?
[09:06] <tony__> billytwowilly: i use it for my mx518 to get the most out of it and has some other useful functions you might try
[09:06] <billytwowilly> lmctl?
[09:06] <tony__> http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/coding_lmctl.html
[09:07] <billytwowilly> hmm. I wonder when vista will hit mainstream laptops in Canada.
[09:07] <tony__> probably in the main repositories
[09:08] <billytwowilly> tony__: I'll check it out when I get a laptop with working USB;)
[09:08] <adz21c> Hey, I am running Edgy 6.10 amd64. When I first log in to KDE all my colours look like they are on a low setting (i.e. like 16it colours), however soon as I run glxgears, everything looks normal (24bit) till I reboot. Any ideas why this could be and how I could fix it?
[09:09] <billytwowilly> lame... a usb2 pcmcia adaptor costs 89 bucks...
[09:09] <billytwowilly> err, cardbus
[09:10] <Digital_Pioneer> adz21c: Hmm... Fine-tune your settings in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:10] <tony__> adz21c: configure your xorg.conf set to 24bit depth
[09:10] <helge> When I run this commando: sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-ati , it says that it cannot find the source package, is that ok?
[09:10] <adz21c> tony__: it is 24bit depth
[09:11] <tony__> not sure about that
[09:11] <adz21c> tony__: what i am saying is it looks like its 16bit, till i run glx then it corrects it self till i reboot
[09:11] <robotgeek> helge: no, do you have the appropriate deb-src line
[09:11] <helge> Well I dont know (so I guess no)
[09:11] <helge> Yoou mean repositorys?
[09:11] <robotgeek> !compile > helge
[09:12] <robotgeek> helge: yes, in your sources.list
[09:12] <billytwowilly> hmm. found a usb2 pcmcia adaptor for 16 bucks. Looks like i'm not buying a new laptop yet afterall;)
[09:12] <helge> Well I have 9250 radeon and I use this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_%28RV280%29_and_DVI , Is there a better starting point for this?
[09:14] <billytwowilly> just to check, the pcmcia slot is the one on the side of almost all laptops right? looks like it could hold a thick credit card?
[09:14] <robotgeek> billytwowilly: yes. look on wikipedia/google to be sure
[09:15] <tony__> anyone use kxmame in here?
[09:15] <billytwowilly> tony__: I used to use kxmame. it's fairly decent.
[09:16] <tony__> billytwowilly: i can't get it to run fullscreen. i'm sure it's easy to do but not working. -f doesn't seem to work. any mame frontends you'd recommend for linux?
[09:26] <Xal2> whenever I start nano, I get the error /home/administrator/.nano_history: Permission denied
[09:26] <Xal2> Why?
[09:27] <fdoving> probably because you've started nano with sudo some time.
[09:32] <jeisma> how do i fix "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process"?
[09:32] <fdoving> Xal2: you can probably fix it with this command: sudo chown `id -nu`.`id -gn` /home/administrator/.nano_history
[09:32] <fdoving> !adept crash fix | jeisma
[09:32] <ubotu> jeisma: If adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole: 'sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[09:32] <Xal2> thanks, I'll try that
[09:33] <tamacracker> Hey guys, I have a DVD burner but I don't know of Kubuntu knows that it's a DVD burner
[09:33] <tamacracker> How would I be able to check that out?
[09:34] <fdoving> tamacracker: start k3b and see what it says.
[09:34] <zorglu_> k2d
[09:34] <zorglu_> that one :)
[09:34] <tamacracker> k2d or k3b?
[09:34] <zorglu_> follow fdoving
[09:34] <zorglu_> i did a typop
[09:34] <tamacracker> oh ok
[09:35] <tamacracker> where's k3b?
[09:35] <zorglu_> !k3b
[09:35] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[09:35] <tamacracker> oh i see it
[09:35] <fdoving> tamacracker: kmenu -> multimedia -> k3b
[09:35] <tamacracker> :D
[09:35] <angasule> how do I stop konqueror from asking me to install flash? it's friggin' annoying
[09:36] <HymnToLife> install Flash ?
[09:36] <olegfink> guys, i see ubotu is something really useful and cool ;) what's it and where can i get it? (maybe ubotu !ubotu? :))
[09:36] <tamacracker> ha.. nice, it recognizes my DVD burner correctly
[09:36] <zorglu_> !bot
