[12:02] <nik> watya mean?
[12:03] <PieD> do you have only one windows partition, which is the first of the first harddrive ?
[12:03] <PieD> (and so on)
[12:03] <nik> oh
[12:03] <nik> lemme check
[12:04] <pax> PieD: pas besoin de savoir, le scipt cherche la partition et la mount :-)
[12:04] <nik> its hda2 but the first one is 32 m
[12:05] <PieD> pax: alors explique lui clairement que c'est un programme qu'il doit enregistrer quelque part...
[12:05] <pax> PieD: deja fait, je peux pas spoon feed les bebes :c
[12:05] <PieD> bon je m'en charge
[12:06] <PieD> nik: the link http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab provides a script
[12:06] <PieD> save it for instance in your home folder
[12:06] <PieD> and when you'll launch it, it'll do all the job alone :)
[12:06] <Rogue_Jedi_X> nik: wget http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab ~
[12:07] <PieD> pax: le script serait mieux en python :p
[12:07] <nik> what the hell is wrong wiht kate it keeps bouncign but wont open
[12:07] <nik> its naoying me

[12:14] <PieD> [00:01:45]  <pax> nik, save it, name it something then in console type: sudo bash <whatever_you_named_it>
[12:14] <nik> it saved as a shell script
[12:14] <nik> jstu the name or /home/w/e/
[12:14] <PieD> so open a console (for instance do alt+f2 => konsole)
[12:14] <PieD> cd Desktop
[12:14] <PieD> sudo bash name_of_the_file
[12:14] <nik> o crap
[12:14] <nik> desktop has ot be capitalized
[12:14] <nik> ok
[12:14] <PieD> (use the tab key to complete automagically the filename)
[12:14] <PieD> names are case sensitive
[12:15] <PieD> that's the rule
[12:15] <nik> btw shoudl i use the first one or the second link
[12:15] <nik> there differnt
[12:15] <nik> but the introdutcion is the same
[12:15] <PieD> the second link is perhaps better ? (I don't know, I discovered both about 15 minutes ago :)

Please, answer me do not come up with shortcuts, tell me to use a different distro, or anything of the like.  Straight answer please.

[03:03] <nik> o ya i remmebr my question how come not all programs are in the menu
[03:06] <nik> is ubuntu debian based?
[03:06] <EasterSunshine> yes
[03:06] <EasterSunshine> notice that all the packages are .debs
[03:07] <nik> ooo
[03:07] <nik> if a program doesnt show up in the menu
[03:07] <nik> is there a way to put ti there
[03:08] <nik> where is the debian menu ?
[03:14] <EasterSunshine> nik: have you tried the menu editor?
[03:15] <nik> ya im in it now
[03:15] <nik> but where do the programs taht arent there go
[03:15] <EasterSunshine> nik: right click the k with a gear under it, dunno whats its called, a there should be menu editor, it has debian, add item, etc...
[03:15] <EasterSunshine> nik: all the programs on your comp are either in /bin /usr/bin or usr/local/bin with a few others floating around
[03:15] <EasterSunshine> nik: if you look in those folders, you'll understand why each program doesn't have a shortcut
[03:17] <nik> because theres so many?
[03:18] <EasterSunshine> yes, many of which you'll never directly use
[03:18] <nik> i c
[03:18] <EasterSunshine> like /bin/false
[03:18] <nik> but how come like kwrite isnt in the menu or some of the games i install
[03:18] <nik> through synaptic
[03:18] <EasterSunshine> perhaps the installation procedure does not including registering itself with kde's menu
[03:19] <nik> hmm
[03:19] <nik> makes sence
[03:19] <EasterSunshine> the makers may not have had the ease of kde users in mind
[03:19] <nik> whats in the debian menu?
[03:19] <EasterSunshine> no clue =/
[03:19] <nik> hwodo i add it to kmenu
[03:19] <EasterSunshine> afk
[03:20] <EasterSunshine> oh before i go, it wont appear unless theres something in it
[03:20] <nik> o ok
[03:20] <nik> thanks
[04:01] <dargo> hi kubunters!
[04:01] <nik> hi dargo!
[04:02] <dargo> hi nik
[04:02] <dargo> You use nicotine for connect to soulseek network?
[04:03] <nik> i dont smoke
[04:03] <nik> im kidding
[04:03] <nik> umm no
[04:03] <nik> i dont
[04:03] <dargo> jaja
[04:03] <nik> are u one of them linux experts
[04:03] <dargo> Whenever I execute it, it gives back east error to me
[04:04] <dargo> oh no nik , i'm kubuntu-newbie
[04:04] <nik> damn
[04:04] <dargo> http://pastebin.com/336295
[04:04] <nik> is taht the error report?
[04:05] <nik> well sadly i have to reboot back into windows and finish downloading a file
[04:05] <dargo> Not simply it is a copy of the error, not to flood the channel
[04:06] <nik> oh
[04:06] <nik> well sorry ic ant help u
[04:06] <nik> good luck
[04:06] <dargo> ok
[04:06] <dargo> somebody can help me?
[04:08] <EasterSunshine> dargo: have newest versions of everything?
[04:09] <dargo> yes EasterSunshine
[04:09] <dargo> I have already verified it
[04:09] <EasterSunshine> gtk.FALSE, and gtk.TRUE are depreacted, meaning old and obsolete, now we use c extensions TRUE and FALSE
[04:10] <EasterSunshine> oh wait those are warnings, the real error is in the python script
[04:10] <dargo> EasterSunshine: use kubuntu 5,04 and gtk according to apt is in its last version
[04:11] <EasterSunshine> the python script is bad, do you get this error consistently?
[04:12] <dargo> yes EasterSunshine
[04:12] <dargo> whenever I start nicotine
[04:13] <dargo> it responds to me with that error and the program is closed
[04:13] <EasterSunshine> the traceback says that self.sections["server"] ["server"]  is not a list or tuple or subscriptable data type, so maybe if you feel like debugging it youself, track what it is, and see where the programmers messed up
[04:14] <EasterSunshine> acutally, its unlikely the programmers would let something like that slide...
[04:14] <EasterSunshine> perhaps your python version is not supported by your nicotine version
[04:14] <EasterSunshine> at anyrate, that nicotine looks really old
[04:16] <dargo> nicotine is in its last version
[04:16] <EasterSunshine> latest version must be pretty old...
[04:16] <dargo> 1.0.8-rc1
[04:16] <EasterSunshine> is that an alpha?
[04:16] <dargo> argh!
[04:16] <dargo> jeje
[04:16] <EasterSunshine> if its an unstable, try downgrading to the latest stable release
[04:16] <mishter> eeeeew im in windowss
[04:17] <mishter> its me nik btw
[04:17] <EasterSunshine> python allows a lot of room for errors
[04:17] <dargo> Latest stable release:
[04:17] <dargo> nicotine-1.0.8.tar.gz
[04:17] <nik> how come xchat is free in linux but theres a 30 day trial in windows

[09:52] <gimbal> hey, this came up and I thought I would ask: Would the konqueror in ubuntu already have a web shortcut defined for packages.ubuntu.com? (like, there is one for google, such that one could enter like "google word"; konqueor would then make the appropriate URL for completing the search)
[09:53] <jpatrick> Maybe Control Centre > Internet > Web Browser > Web Shortcuts
[09:57] <gimbal> jpatrick: yah, that's how to add it; I was just wondering if it's in the install, by default; there's one on debian for deb packages, seemed appropriate if there'd be one on ubuntu for ubuntu packages, heh
[10:05] <gimbal> well, just wanted to bring it up; hasta luego

[12:49] <Furic> I need the "noacpi" kernel option on boot, so i modified menu.lst in /boot/grub to have an extra (default) option, and booted, worked great, but then when i shut down and booted again it looks like the file has been regenerated with my changed gone, how can i solve?
[12:52] <Timmmm> Hi, what is the name of the program that searches /usr/bin (and presumably other places) for programs that aren't currently in your kmenu and lets you add them?
[12:53] <nikkia> kappfinder
[12:55] <Timmmm> Thanks
[12:56] <Timmmm> Hmm, didn't work very well though - didn't even find itself!
[12:57] <annomous> i would liketo install kubuntu but the computer i want to install it on doesen,t connect to the internet
[12:58] <Furic> annomous: Download the installer cd from kubuntu.org and use that
[12:58] <annomous> at 100 kbps
[12:59] <annomous> slow internet connection
[12:59] <Furic> Get someone with a faster connection to download and burn it
[01:00] <annomous> is it possibleto justdownload kde
[01:00] <Furic> Yes, from kde.org, but you need a linux system to run it on, kubuntu is a good one, why dont you go download its installer cd. :P
[01:00] <annomous> by the way i alredy have ubuntu
[01:01] <Furic> Ahh, well i would recomend connecting the other pc to the internet and downloading it, then disconnecting
[01:02] <Furic> Or you could browse through the apt archives and install all the debs manually, but what a pain
[01:02] <annomous> if i could get the install cd couldi findthemeta package
[01:03] <Furic> Im not sure, maybe possible to add the cd as a source for synaptic
[01:03] <annomous> i think it is
[01:03] <Furic> Try it
[01:04] <annomous> 1 problem im on the other side of the world from it

[01:17] <ubotu> hmm... codecs is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[01:17] <ubuntu> yes unknown host
[01:17] <rosemary> pax - okay, it is an old box - didn't realise gnome was lighter
[01:17] <pax> phreakys: ^
[01:18] <rosemary> what about icewm
[01:18] <PieD> and from a konsole, does ping google.fr works for instance ?
[01:18] <pax> rosemary: even better
[01:18] <rosemary> righto - maybe I'll look at that for next try out
[01:18] <phreakys> ah
[01:18] <phreakys> tnx
[01:19] <pax> good luck.
[01:19] <pax> phreakys: np
[01:19] <rosemary> thanks
[01:19] <ubuntu> also ping google.fr doesn't work, but as you can see I can chat...
[01:19] <phreakys> looks good btw, this ubuntu
[01:20] <PieD> ubuntu: hum
[01:20] <PieD> what is the content of /etc/resolv.conf ?
[01:20] <pax> phreakys: wait until you try kubuntu http://ninux.net/files/ubuntu.png
[01:21] <ubuntu> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:21] <apokryphos> pax: trans windecs -- nice :)
[01:21] <ubuntu> ps I have kubuntu
[01:21] <phreakys> its better?
[01:21] <apokryphos> phreakys: than?
[01:22] <phreakys> ubuntu?
[01:22] <apokryphos> Well, it has KDE. ;-)
[01:22] <phreakys> or ?
[01:22] <phreakys> aah, thats a major step forward
[01:22] <ubuntu> PieD?
[01:22] <pax> phreakys: user frienldy, especially for folks coming from windoz. Kubuntu is Ubuntu+KDE
[01:22] <phreakys> its also in the package is it?
[01:22] <phreakys> hm, thats cool
[01:22] <apokryphos> pax: what windec is that?
[01:22] <phreakys> i like gnome to..is that also included?
[01:23] <pax> apokryphos: plain kde
[01:23] <apokryphos> phreakys: you can get it from the repositories, yes
[01:23] <phreakys> i got kde from synaptic packetmenager
[01:23] <apokryphos> ok
[01:23] <phreakys> but installed a little too much :-)
[01:24] <ubuntu> sorry
[01:24] <PieD> ubuntu: does ping <IP_ADDRESS> works ?
[01:24] <apokryphos> phreakys: running out of space/
[01:24] <pax> apokryphos: you asked about win decoration, sorry, it's crystal
[01:24] <phreakys> nah, i got 120gb for linux
[01:24] <ubuntu> perfectly
[01:25] <phreakys> just killed windows
[01:25] <phreakys> and im never going back
[01:25] <PieD> and ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[01:25] <pax> 120GB wow you are generous
[01:25] <phreakys> ubuntu is a blessing for me owning a radeon
[01:25] <ubuntu> too!
[01:25] <apokryphos> pax: wow, looks a lot different to how I remember it. Thanks.
[01:25] <phreakys> :)
[01:25] <PieD> try :
[01:25] <phreakys> yea, all space is linux now
[01:25] <PieD> no, I was going to say a wrong thing
[01:26] <ubuntu> it happens! ;-)
[01:26] <PieD> (I never used ADSL modems under linux)
[01:26] <ubuntu> doh
[01:26] <apokryphos> PieD: my attempts were on the whole pretty unsuccessful
[01:26] <PieD> doesn't anybody have such modems to help ubuntu ?
[01:28] <apokryphos> There's a few, no doubt, but not aware. There might be a list of supported ones on the wiki somewhere
[01:28] <pax> ubuntu you are connected to irc and can't ping yahoo.fr is that it?
[01:28] <phreakys> i mean...this packetmanager is really a great tool
[01:28] <ubuntu> yes pax!
[01:28] <ubuntu> I can't ping nothing
[01:28] <phreakys> way faster than that apt-get thing, if you dont know what to look for :->
[01:28] <apokryphos> pax: ah, different crystal styles -- so I see. So not real transparency ;-)
[01:28] <PieD> you can ping IPs
[01:29] <PieD> I gave you a google.fr IP, and ping worked
[01:29] <pax> ubuntu behind a router?
[01:29] <phreakys> lol
[01:29] <phreakys> ow yea
[01:29] <ubuntu> pax: again...?
[01:29] <phreakys> mp3 playback :D
[01:29] <pax> phreakys: yes fake transparency
[01:30] <pax> ubuntu how are you connected to the net?
[01:30] <phreakys> i cant shut off microphone though
[01:30] <pax> phreakys: kmix
[01:30] <phreakys> hm, nm
[01:30] <phreakys> yea
[01:30] <phreakys> that one errorerd
[01:30] <ubuntu> with ethernet modem and username and password...I think behind router
[01:31] <phreakys> but its working now
[01:31] <phreakys> omg
[01:31] <phreakys> not really
[01:31] <phreakys> my ears
[01:31] <pax> cheez man, lower the volume I can hear it from here
[01:32] <phreakys> if i click mute, its beeping the hell into my ears
[01:32] <phreakys> but lower works
[01:32] <pax> I heard it :cP
[01:32] <phreakys> ;)
[01:32] <ubuntu> pax: did I explain?
[01:32] <pax> phreakys: you proly just need to play with kmix to get the right settings
[01:33] <pax> ubuntu I fail to see the problem
[01:33] <PieD> ubuntu: what does "sudo route" (without quotes) do ?
[01:34] <ubuntu> answer with a table
[01:34] <PieD> give us the table
[01:35] <PieD> (if it's not bigger than 3 lines)
[01:35] <ubuntu> it's three lines
[01:35] <PieD> give it to us
[01:36] <ubuntu> <IP_ADDRESS>   *               <IP_ADDRESS> UH    0      0        0 ppp0
[01:36] <ubuntu> <IP_ADDRESS>     *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     0      0        0 eth0
[01:36] <ubuntu> default         <IP_ADDRESS>   <IP_ADDRESS>         UG    0      0        0 ppp0
[01:36] <PieD> sudo kedit /etc/resolv.conf
[01:37] <phreakys> yea, its working now
[01:37] <PieD> and replace <IP_ADDRESS> by <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:37] <phreakys> how can i edit the menus in gnome?
[01:37] <pax> smeg
[01:37] <phreakys> ah :D
[01:38] <phreakys> its not in synaptic :/
[01:38] <PieD> ubuntu: that's done ?
[01:38] <ubuntu> yes, I haven't kedit, I use vi
[01:39] <ubuntu> that's done
[01:39] <pax> phreakys: you need to enable couple of lines in your sources.list
[01:39] <pax> !sources
[01:39] <ubotu> sources are at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[01:39] <PieD> yet try viewing a webpage
[01:40] <ubuntu> done , doesnt work, have I to close the connection e reopen?
[01:40] <PieD> no*
[01:40] <ubuntu> so it doesn't work
[01:40] <pax> ubuntu try /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:41] <PieD> I'm not used to such things
[01:41] <pax> with sudo that is
[01:42] <PieD> (I really like being behind a router : configuration is extremely hard ! I give my WEP key, and it's working :)
[01:42] <phreakys> hm
[01:42] <phreakys> i get a dependancy error when install smeg with dpkg :./
[01:43] <phreakys> can it be installed with apt-get?
[01:43] <pax> why would you do that, it's in the repos
[01:43] <pax> !find smeg
[01:43] <phreakys> its empty in synaptic
[01:44] <pax> phreakys: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:44] <luigino> hello everyone
[01:44] <phreakys> ok
[01:44] <ubotu> Ubuntu Package/File/Desc Search of 'smeg' returned no results.
[01:44] <apokryphos> !info smeg breezy
[01:44] <ubotu> smeg: (simple menu editing), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 0.7.5-0ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 16 kB, Installed size: 212 kB
[01:45] <pax> phreakys:  uncomment multiverse and universe
[01:45] <apokryphos> It's only in breezy at the mo
[01:45] <luigino> I'd like to know where kubuntu starts the kde because I've installed enlightenment but at boot it won't start, neither select the window manager that I want....
[01:45] <phreakys> universe is uncommented
[01:45] <luigino> so any idea?
[01:45] <phreakys> multiverse is not there :/
[01:45] <pax> no it's not, unless I'm running breezy and dont know it
[01:45] <pax> pax@debuntu:~$apt-cache search smeg
[01:45] <pax> smeg - simple menu editing
[01:46] <pax> phreakys: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[01:46] <apokryphos> luigino: you'll likely have to make an entry for kde in /usr/share/xsessions if it's not there already
[01:46] <phreakys> tnx
[01:46] <_ubuntu> pax: did u read my answer?
[01:46] <PieD> _ubuntu: we didn't see any answer
[01:47] <pax> what PieD said.
[01:47] <pax> phreakys: when you uncomment the two lines run sudo apt-get update
[01:47] <luigino> apokryphos: in that directory I have kde.desktop and enlightenment.desktop, I added also e17.desktop cause maybe it was for the name that wont start but it wasnt that..any idea?
[01:47] <_ubuntu> I said I'm moved, it works!!!! thanks thanks, and I asked for the reason
[01:48] <apokryphos> luigino: alright, one sec.
[01:48] <pax> _ubuntu: thank PieD he fixed you up.
[01:48] <apokryphos> luigino: how did you install enlightenment? What repo are you using? Not the nooms one?
[01:48] <PieD> _ubuntu: ok
[01:49] <_ubuntu> I thank everyone!!!!!
[01:49] <_ubuntu> other question? fat32 writing?
[01:49] <pax> phreakys: here, get my sources.list, don't let the size scare you: http://ninux.net/files/sources
[01:49] <luigino> mmmm I used the nooms following the thread in the ubuntuforums....
[01:50] <luigino> If I used the wrong repo then what repo shall I use?
[01:50] <Wizzard> hi there
[01:50] <pax> !ntfs
[01:51] <ubotu> I guess ntfs is the filesystem normally used under Windows XP. The Ubuntu installer can safely resize an NTFS partition to create a new partition for you to install Ubuntu. http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab
[01:51] <pax> _ubuntu: ^^
[01:51] <apokryphos> luigino: hm, that is the right one. You'll have to edit some other stuff
[01:51] <apokryphos> luigino: I gotta go eat now (family is waiting); I'll try to help when I'm back, if no-one else here has already
[01:51] <luigino> ok
[01:51] <luigino> enjoy ur meal, apokryphos  :)
[01:52] <phreakys> tnx
[01:52] <_ubuntu> pax: I can read but I can't write from the win32 partition, this is shared with the xp (two o.s.)
[01:53] <luigino> anyone else has any idea about starting enlightenment under kubuntu Kde based?
[01:53] <phreakys> ill just replace mine?
[01:53] <pax> _ubuntu: shared how, dual boot?
[01:53] <pax> phreakys: sure.
[01:54] <pax> phreakys: make sure you back up yours first
[01:54] <phreakys> ok
[01:54] <phreakys> is there a gui editor thats std installed on ubuntu?
[01:54] <_ubuntu> yes
[01:55] <pax> _ubuntu: you want to write to linux partition from winxp, is that it?
[01:55] <_ubuntu> the opposite, from linux I want to write to fat32
[01:56] <pax> _ubuntu: then just run seveas script
[01:56] <pax> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab
[01:57] <phreakys> ok, i did it
[01:57] <phreakys> now updating apt
[01:57] <phreakys> cool, smeg is in the list now
[01:57] <phreakys> tnx apx
[01:57] <phreakys> pax
[01:57] <pax> you have skype there as bonus, so you can just apt-get intoIT
[01:58] <phreakys> yea, i got it allready installed. but now i can update it automatically right?
[01:58] <pax> yes
[01:58] <_ubuntu> pax: I'll try but the partition is mounted, I can read, but I can't write.
[01:58] <phreakys> cool
[01:58] <luigino> no one has any idea?
[02:00] <phreakys> i dont understna
[02:00] <M3ocs-D4rksun> phreakys
[02:00] <M3ocs-D4rksun> you can help me?
[02:00] <phreakys> if i want to install smeg, it keeps complaining about python-dxg
[02:00] <phreakys> ehm, with what?
[02:00] <phreakys> im a noob here
[02:01] <phreakys> but ask away
[02:02] <phreakys> hm
[02:04] <phreakys> ive no clue why its asking for python-dxg, while its allready installed :/
[02:04] <otep> wrong version?
[02:04] <_ubuntu> I ran the script, but I can't modify files
[02:05] <phreakys> yea, maybe
[02:05] <csenger> _ubuntu, you can remount the partition
[02:06] <csenger> _ubuntu, or unmount it, change fstab acording to your config, mount again
[02:07] <csenger> whats the line for the partiotion in /etc/fstab ?
[02:07] <otep> ei senger
[02:07] <csenger> otep, ei ??
[02:08] <_ubuntu> now I must go thenk you for all!!!! bye!
[02:08] <otep> =D if you have a 40GB hd how would you partition it?
[02:08] <otep> im currently using a 10GB here and im thinking of ditching my xp and install kubuntu instead
[02:12] <luigino> so anyone doesn't know
[02:12] <luigino> how to make enlightenment starting in kubuntu?
[02:13] <M3ocs-D4rksun> luigino
[02:17] <apokryphos> luigino: ok, back.
[02:17] <apokryphos> luigino: to clarify, the problem is that kdm doesn't show kde as an option for logging in, right?
[02:18] <luigino> ok wb  apokryphos  :)
[02:18] <luigino> well.. here at the boot it starts kde login manager plus kde
[02:18] <luigino> and not the entrance + enlightenment
[02:18] <apokryphos> entrance? Is that its login-manager?
[02:19] <luigino> sisi
[02:19] <apokryphos> Is enlightenment there not selectable from "Sessions"?
[02:19] <luigino> yes
[02:19] <luigino> Sessions?
[02:19] <luigino> here I don't see any window that tells me any window manager
[02:19] <apokryphos> luigino: in KDM, the login-manager. Can you select enlightenment to login to?
[02:20] <luigino> no I removed kd,
[02:20] <luigino> kdm
[02:20] <apokryphos> you want to change your window manager for KDE, or you want to login to enlightenment?
[02:20] <luigino> the second option
[02:20] <apokryphos> luigino: ok, so what login manager are you using now?
[02:20] <luigino> I want to login to enlightenment
[02:20] <luigino> actually since it doesn't work, I'm using the default one
[02:21] <luigino> in this case kde
[02:21] <apokryphos> luigino: you said you didn't have kdm...
[02:21] <apokryphos> luigino: are you hitting startx or something and it's starting kde?
[02:21] <phreakys> ok, dling kubuntu
[02:21] <phreakys> :)
[02:21] <luigino> prolly its startin somewhere kde
[02:22] <luigino> in fact having removed the kdm
[02:22] <luigino> it shouldnt neither start kde
[02:27] <apokryphos> KDE can start without kdm, it doesn't need it at all.
[02:27] <apokryphos> What login manager are you using? Or you don't know?
[02:27] <luigino> mmm I guess i can't identify what login manager its using
[02:27] <apokryphos> luigino: when you start up your computer there's no graphical manager where you put in your username and your pass?
[02:27] <luigino> its a graphical screen with an User and Password to enter
[02:27] <apokryphos> luigino: ok :). What colour?
[02:27] <apokryphos> Regardless of which one you're using, you can login to enlightenment from there
[02:27] <luigino> blue... in the little window there's also a button with the enter key like in the keyboard
[02:27] <apokryphos> That's KDM :)
[02:27] <apokryphos> You can login to enlightenment easily from kdm
[02:27] <luigino> ok weird... since I should have removed kdm but oh well let's see how to add enlightement in kdm
[02:27] <luigino> :)
[02:27] <apokryphos> If you click on the home icon (or the other one) in the bottom-left of the screen, there should be a "sessions"
[02:27] <apokryphos> From there you can select Enlightenment
[02:27] <luigino> mmmm
[02:27] <luigino> the home icon?
[02:28] <apokryphos> Once you're at the KDM screen, you can select which session -- which desktop environment -- to login to from there. It's one of the icons in the bottom-left; I forget which, since I don't really use it
[02:28] <luigino> ah ok lemme check
[02:30] <luigino> oh yeah
[02:30] <luigino> it worked
[02:30] <apokryphos> =)
[02:31] <luigino> but what if I'd like to start the entrance login-manager instead of kdm?
[02:31] <apokryphos> luigino: how did you isntall that? It's not the repo
[02:31] <apokryphos> anyhow, you should be able to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure entrance, and the option to use it as the display [login]  manager should be there
[02:32] <luigino> ok lemme try
[02:33] <luigino> it didn't asked me any options...
[02:34] <apokryphos> luigino: just took you back to command line?
[02:34] <apokryphos> (ignore earilier comment.. it is in the repo; I forgot that I commented it out)
[02:35] <luigino> ;)
[02:35] <apokryphos> Hm, it isn't there as an option. Not quite sure how to select it, then...
[02:36] <luigino> hmmm somewhere it should be a place where it starts kdm
[02:36] <luigino> so I could replace with entrance
[02:39] <JohnFlux> hey all!
[02:39] <apokryphos> luigino: check in that thread for a possible solution
[02:39] <phreakys> is there a good program to make a backup of the whole system?
[02:39] <apokryphos> still seems to bring a few problems, as I see.
[02:39] <apokryphos> JohnFlux: hey :)
[02:39] <luigino> it's weird anyway I thought with a .xinitrc I could make starting entrance instead of kdm but wasn't that
[02:40] <JohnFlux> does the default kernel only support 1 cpu?
[02:40] <JohnFlux> dmesg says something like "processor 0..... processor 1 disabled exceed NR_CPU=1
[02:40] <JohnFlux> "
[02:40] <JohnFlux> or something similiar
[02:40] <JohnFlux> I have a pentium 4
[02:40] <apokryphos> I hope not; hoping for a dual processor in a few weeks
[02:40] <JohnFlux> (it's a hyperthingy that counts as two processors)
[02:41] <phreakys> all p4s have hyperthingies dont they?
[02:41] <luigino> apokryphos: do u know the hilarious thing?
[02:41] <apokryphos> luigino: nope; fire away
[02:43] <luigino> I installed enlightenment with also the eutils which contains also for example a virtual post-it but it didn't installed it really as I see because when I start enlightenment i don't see it...
[02:44] <apokryphos> I used it briefly; it was nice to play around with but very incomplete.
[02:46] <luigino> oh well right now I'll do a thing:
[02:46] <luigino> I'll go at the bar to take an espresso coffee
[02:46] <luigino> ahahhaha
[02:46] <apokryphos> :)
[02:47] <luigino> I'll see u in a few...when Ill back from bar
[02:47] <luigino> :)
[02:47] <luigino> thank you for all for now man
[02:47] <luigino> :)
[02:47] <JohnFlux> ah hyperthreading is off by default for security reasons
[02:47] <JohnFlux> you need to do rt=on
[02:48] <luigino> see u later
[02:49] <nikkia> phreakys: no, not all of them
[02:50] <phreakys> ah ok
[02:50] <nikkia> phreakys: only the 800MHz FSB and later
[02:50] <phreakys> ah cool
[02:50] <nikkia> (Pentium 4 C ? iirc)
[02:51] <phreakys> ive such a thingy
[02:51] <phreakys> do i need to enable anything to make it active
[02:51] <phreakys> ?
[02:51] <nikkia> phreakys: you need a SMP kernel
[02:51] <phreakys> aha
[02:51] <phreakys> is it in kubuntu possible?
[02:51] <nikkia> phreakys: there should be a SMP kernel in the list of alternate kernel versions
[02:51] <nikkia> i686-SMP or something
[02:51] <phreakys> cool, is it installable on setup?
[02:51] <nikkia> phreakys: no, i think you have to apt-get it
[02:52] <nikkia> the default kernel from install is i386 which is pretty much useless :)
[02:52] <phreakys> ah allright...tnx for the info. ill try it as soon kubuntu is running
[02:52] <phreakys> does is make a big difference?
[02:52] <nikkia> phreakys: not a huge difference, IME
[02:53] <nikkia> you'd notice a bigger difference on a real SMP machine (dual CPU or dual core)
[02:53] <phreakys> cool
[02:53] <nikkia> some things are faster with hyperthreading turned on and a SMP kernel tho
[02:54] <phreakys> will be a cool thing, if games would use the performance increase of multiple cpus
[02:54] <nikkia> my P4 2.8 here is the old non-HT version, my P4 2.8 at work is the HT version, they're mostly about the same performance-wise, but you do notice some little things that run better with HT, and there are situations where HT avoids non-responsiveness
[02:55] <nikkia> phreakys: given that the Athlon 64 X2 and the Pentium 4 D are both out, i think you'll start to see more support for SMP
[02:55] <phreakys> yea, i guess it could make a big difference
[02:56] <nikkia> i used to have a SMP P2, it was alright, some things were clearly better
[02:56] <phreakys> arent there compatibility problems with a smp kernel?
[02:56] <nikkia> phreakys: not many
[02:56] <phreakys> k, cool
[02:56] <phreakys> i started with linux 2 days ago with a debian distro
[02:57] <phreakys> but went to ubuntu
[02:57] <phreakys> now dling kubuntu :)
[02:57] <phreakys> its so hard to install a radeon driver on debian :/
[02:57] <nik> hi does anyon no hwo to solve the slower internet on linux problem
[02:57] <nik> i fdun a lot of ppl have the problem in forums and stuff but i ahevnt foudn a solution
[02:57] <nik> in xp my transfer rate is 281 kb and in kubuntu its 50
[02:58] <nikkia> nik, i don't think there's any inherent slower networking, it just depends on your network card
[02:59] <nik> well a ton of ppl have had the same problm thoguh
[02:59] <nikkia> i can max out my connection speed on both XP and linux equally easily
[03:00] <nik> i tried changin the ipv6 setting
[03:00] <nik> but ti didnt help
[03:00] <stibby> is apache 2 better than 1.3?
[03:00] <nik> but y is the dffernce so drastic
[03:01] <nik> wen i ran the roadband speed test
[03:01] <phreakys> i dont think you'll see a big difference stibby
[03:01] <nik> broadband*
[03:01] <nikkia> nik, as i said, its probably your network card
[03:01] <stibby> except php5 doesnt like apache2 :(
[03:01] <nik> what do u mean by that though?
[03:01] <nik> is it somethign specific
[03:01] <nikkia> i can hit 600-700KB/s just as easily in both XP and linux, so i can't see how there is some inherent slowdown
[03:01] <phreakys> stick with whats working for you
[03:01] <nik> its not everybodies
[03:02] <nik> but in the forum i foudn atleast 5 posts of ppl having the exact same problem
[03:02] <nik> as well as when i goggled it in other linux ofrums
[03:02] <nik> so tis not everybody
[03:03] <nikkia> 5 people on the forums could just as easily be 5 people that have misconfigured something :)
[03:03] <nikkia> 500 or 5000 people, i might start to believe its linux's fault, but not 5 :)
[03:07] <nik> o no u misunderstod im not at all sayign its a linux fault
[03:07] <nik> im jstu asking for a way to solve the problem since it sems to be a quite common mosconfiguration
[03:07] <nikkia> nik, every  situation is likely different
[03:07] <nikkia> there probably is no 'simple' solution for everyone
[03:07] <nikkia> some ISPs use a higher MTU, for example
[03:07] <ztonzy> apokryphos, hello
[03:07] <nikkia> if your MTU is set to 1500 (the default) but your ISP is using a higher MTU, then yes, it'll be slow, but you can't say that changing the MTU to some other value would fix it
[03:08] <ztonzy> nikkia, hi
[03:08] <phreakys> hm, kubuntu distro allmost baked and ready to serve
[03:09] <apokryphos> ztonzy: hey :)
[03:10] <nikkia> nik, my first recommendation, would be to boot back to XP, and write down *every* detail about the network settings you can
[03:10] <nikkia> then check that the ones in linux aren't radically different
[03:10] <nikkia> if they are identical, then the primary suspect would have to be that the network card in your PC has a badly written driver
[03:11] <phreakys> yea, kill the nice
[03:11] <phreakys> nic
[03:12] <nikkia> phreakys: kill?
[03:12] <phreakys> i suggest using a good old hammer
[03:12] <phreakys> ;)
[03:12] <phreakys> sometimes its a good feleing
[03:12] <phreakys> but only if its cheap junk :)
[03:13] <nik> i once smashed a router with a baseball bat
[03:13] <nik> it was fun
[03:14] <nik> im in xp now where re the network settings tht i have to check in particualar
[03:17] <phreakys> lol
[03:17] <phreakys> yea, the router is a good baseball
[03:17] <phreakys> video recorders are fun to
[03:17] <phreakys> but wear protective glasses
[03:18] <phreakys> eletronicstuff flying around :)
[03:18] <phreakys> doe kubuntu have 3d acceleration installed auto?
[03:19] <phreakys> ive got no direct rendering installed yet :/
[03:19] <phreakys> glxinfo
[03:21] <PieD> phreakys: what graphic card ?
[03:21] <phreakys> a radeon 9600
[03:21] <PieD> (nvidia is better for linux)
[03:21] <phreakys> im allready happy that ubuntu supports the card in 2d
[03:21] <phreakys> yea, i know
[03:21] <phreakys> i bought it while i was on windows
[03:21] <nikkia> phreakys: you're probably using the opensource driver
[03:22] <phreakys> i guess
[03:22] <nikkia> which means you still have the nightmare called 'installing ati drivers' to come
[03:22] <phreakys> omg
[03:22] <phreakys> its necessary for 3d stuff?
[03:22] <nikkia> yes
[03:22] <phreakys> damn, ive done that installing 3 times on debian, but only messed up my x
[03:22] <phreakys> its a nightmare indeed
[03:22] <nikkia> its not easy on any distro
[03:23] <phreakys> well, if that installscript was working allright, it would be
[03:23] <phreakys> its just a piece of crap driver
[03:23] <phreakys> and im not that handy 2, i must admit
[03:23] <phreakys> one of the reasons i installed ubuntu
[03:23] <nikkia> to make matters worse, you have to do it *each time the kernel is updated* :)
[03:23] <phreakys> omg
[03:24] <phreakys> with nvidia, its not that bad?
[03:24] <nikkia> no, nvidia is pretty easy
[03:24] <phreakys> hm
[03:25] <phreakys> i need money and quick
[03:25] <phreakys> ill just buy an nvidea
[03:26] <phreakys> yea, kubuntu dl finished
[03:26] <phreakys> lets burn
[03:26] <PieD> with nvidia, you have to install one package, execute one command
[03:26] <PieD> and that's all
[03:27] <phreakys> like its supposed to be
[03:34] <phreakys> ok
[03:34] <phreakys> lets reinstall :)
[03:45] <equex> hell ill just take my nvidia gf4mx and replace the ati9200 with it
[03:45] <equex> is that a good idea
[03:46] <equex> its gonne perform better under linux anyway, right
[03:46] <equex> i mean, i am getting 300 fps with glxgears
[03:46] <equex> its a joke
[03:58] <nxv_> which is the default kde irc client? konversation or kvirc?
[04:00] <graytron> hello. :) is it normal to have the gnome icon left in the upper left hand corner of the system after apt-get install kubuntu-desktop; /etc/init.d/gdm stop; /etc/init.d/kdm restart ?
[04:00] <graytron> (and login)
[04:01] <graytron> i mean... i first installed Ubuntu only from the Ubuntu installation CD and then did the above
[04:02] <graytron> i don't think i'm running KDE :)
[04:02] <equex> nah its not working
[04:02] <equex> tried the same
[04:03] <equex> better just get the right install to begin with
[04:03] <equex> ie kubuntu
[04:03] <graytron> i'll try rm -rf /home/gray/* first :D
[04:03] <phreakysz> ah
[04:03] <phreakysz> hi
[04:04] <phreakysz> just installed kubuntu
[04:04] <phreakysz> where is that installer?
[04:04] <phreakysz> synaptic?
[04:06] <phreakysz> got it
[04:25] <_jeff> hey guys
[04:25] <DeathRaider> Hi
[04:26] <_jeff> can you guys help me get my wlan working?
[04:29] <_jeff> whats the difference between linux-wlan-ng and linux-wlan-doc??
[04:30] <redguy> _jeff: linux-wlan-doc would be linux-wlan documentation
[04:33] <equex> could there be anything to my theory that after youve run your first OpenGL app after reboot, the chanches of X crashing increases a lot ?
[04:33] <equex> (related to ATI driver troubles)
[04:33] <equex> because last night something weird happened
[04:33] <equex> i had been playing BiliardGL
[04:34] <equex> and 5 minuts after i quit the game, the frame buffer from the game became visible and then went to console and spewed 100s of error
[04:34] <equex> s
[04:34] <equex> then it said something like :Unable to access memory at virtual adress 0000002
[04:34] <equex> then it hangs for good
[04:37] <_jeff> thanks redguy
[04:52] <jeff_> guys?
[05:01] <jeff_> can anyone help me?
[05:12] <nxv_> how do i switch from gdm to kdm als default display manager?
[05:24] <_stef> Hello :-)
[05:39] <_jeff> hey guys
[05:40] <_jeff> im trying to get my linksys wireless network card to work on linux
[05:41] <_jeff> does anyone have any experience with wireless networking on linux?
[05:43] <Almindor> I get "unable to open /media/cdrom0", it's a permissions problem...
[05:43] <Almindor> funky it started just like that..
[05:43] <Almindor> any ideas? I get owner 400, group 401 with drwx...... permissions once I mount it
[05:44] <Almindor> didn't fiddle with udev
[05:45] <Almindor> anyone?
[05:45] <phreakys> hi
[05:46] <phreakys> whats with kopete and msn?
[05:46] <phreakys> there seems to be a bug in the kubuntu kopete distribution
[05:47] <phreakys> anyone knows a fix for kopete?
[05:48] <Almindor> gaim
[05:48] <phreakys> hm, ok...
[05:48] <phreakys> just kill kopete?
[05:48] <ubuntu> kubuntu rocks :)
[05:48] <phreakys> yea, i just installed it
[05:48] <phreakys> it looks great
[05:48] <ubuntu> running the live cd right now
[05:48] <phreakys> ah
[05:48] <phreakys> sweet huh?
[05:49] <ubuntu> still considering installing.. i always have to compile a new kernel because my laptop has a fucked DSDT table so no battery display with unpatched kernel
[05:49] <ubuntu> yep indeed
[05:49] <ubuntu> much coolerthan knoppix
[05:49] <phreakys> yea, and its so damn easy to use

[05:50] <phreakys> i only need to reinstall apache and stuff and im back in busines :)
[06:04] <TMS> any ideas why konqueror might freeze each time I open a website with flash? I have the libflash-mozplugin.so
[06:05] <phreakys> hm
[06:06] <phreakys> the kde-menueditor is not saving in kubuntu
[06:06] <phreakys> some1 knows why?
[06:08] <equex> phreakys: did you move a lot of menus around and shit ?
[06:08] <equex> i did the same and kmenuedit aint working anymore
[06:08] <phreakys> ehm, i moved some to the desktop
[06:08] <equex> luckily, after 2 weeks, the debian menu started working
[06:08] <phreakys> nothing special
[06:08] <equex> so i still get access to the apps
[06:08] <phreakys> hm, found any fix for it?
[06:09] <equex> well, i can only suggest looking at the xml file that kde makes for the menu
[06:09] <equex> try tidying it up
[06:09] <equex> i couldnt be botheres
[06:09] <phreakys> hm, where is it?
[06:09] <equex> i forgot :p
[06:09] <phreakys> heh ok

[06:44] <NOVA> /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
[06:45] <NOVA> yes
[06:45] <OculusAquilae> or is it possible that the jumper at the device is on Cable select?
[06:45] <NOVA> nop
[06:45] <NOVA> is master en ide2
[06:45] <OculusAquilae> or first have you tried to mount it by foot?
[06:45] <phreakys> arg
[06:46] <phreakys> cant show drives anymore :/
[06:46] <phreakys> external places doesnt show up anymore
[06:46] <OculusAquilae> phreakys: breezy?
[06:46] <phreakys> breezy?
[06:46] <phreakys> just installed the regular kubuntu
[06:46] <phreakys> nothing special
[06:47] <OculusAquilae> phreakys: ah, hoary hedgehog
[06:47] <phreakys> yes
[06:47] <phreakys> i allready got two errors
[06:47] <phreakys> menus wont edit, and the external places thing with cdrom and stuff wont show
[06:47] <phreakys> what could it be?
[06:48] <OculusAquilae> NOVA: have you tried to mount it via "sudo mount /dev/hdc"?
[06:48] <OculusAquilae> phreakys: have you done something strange
[06:48] <phreakys> yea, i uninstalled kopete
[06:48] <NOVA> ount: el dispositivo especial /dev/hdc no existe
[06:49] <phreakys> thats about everything i did so far. except some dragging with menuitems
[06:49] <NOVA> OculusAquilae: this device dont exist
[06:50] <OculusAquilae> NOVA: have you tried to look in google, i don't find anything, but perhaps you find something
[06:50] <phreakys> media:/ doesnt show anything in konqueror
[06:51] <phreakys> how can i reload original kubuntu settings to the system?
[06:52] <phreakys> except reinstalling ?
[06:52] <OculusAquilae> phreakys: you could rename your /home/username/.kde to .kde-old
[06:53] <phreakys> cool, ill try
[06:53] <OculusAquilae> but its a hidden folder
[06:53] <phreakys> ic
[06:53] <OculusAquilae> and then press strg+alt+backspace to restart kde and X
[06:54] <phreakys> whats the command for rename? :/
[06:55] <uniq> mv oldname newname
[06:55] <phreakys> cool
[06:55] <phreakys> ok, done
[06:55] <OculusAquilae> renaming is the same than moving :-)
[06:55] <phreakys> there is a new .kde now
[06:56] <OculusAquilae> should be
[06:56] <phreakys> cool
[06:56] <phreakys> it works again
[06:56] <phreakys> :D
[06:56] <phreakys> tnx
[06:56] <OculusAquilae> np
[06:56] <phreakys> pfew, allready counted for a new installation
[06:56] <phreakys> hope editing menus work to again
[06:57] <phreakys> yea :D
[06:57] <phreakys> great
[06:57] <phreakys> this saves me ALOT of work
[06:58] <phreakys> is there a setupoption where i can disable singleclick btw?
[06:58] <OculusAquilae> yes
[06:59] <phreakys> ok, tnx...ill look for it
[06:59] <OculusAquilae> in the control center at peripherals -> mouse
[06:59] <phreakys> ah,tnx
[06:59] <OculusAquilae> np
[07:05] <phreakys> you know which packages are needed for apache/php/mysql?
[07:06] <phreakys> i have mysql-server, php4 and apache
[07:06] <phreakys> hope thatll be enough :/
[07:08] <phreakys> lol
[07:08] <phreakys> thats the fastest apache installation ive ever seen
[07:09] <ubuntu> phreakys: :))
[07:09] <phreakys> just gotto find out where it installed
[07:10] <ubuntu> configs in /etc/apache2, document root in /var/www by default
[07:10] <phreakys> cool :D
[07:10] <phreakys> hehe
[07:17] <zAo^> which version of KDE will be in Breezy final? 3.4.2?
[07:17] <Tm_lag> 3.5 I hope
[07:17] <zAo^> any sites with goals?
[07:17] <OculusAquilae> or 3.4.2
[07:17] <zAo^> when is 3.5 planned to be released?
[07:18] <OculusAquilae> end of october :-(
[07:18] <zAo^> hmm.. guess we have to work with 3.4.2. When is KDE 4.0 planned? Saw some nice things
[07:19] <OculusAquilae> zAo^: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuRoadmap
[07:19] <zAo^> thanks. Needed that one.
[07:19] <OculusAquilae> KDE 4 is planned for october 2006
[07:20] <zAo^> Quoted: If 3.5 is released shortly after Breezy we may delay the Kubuntu release to be able to use 3.5 otherwise we will make another release with KDE 3.5
[07:20] <OculusAquilae> when is breezy about to be released?
[07:20] <OculusAquilae> around 10th?
[07:21] <OculusAquilae> perhaps we could get in kubuntu
[07:21] <OculusAquilae> ok i'm afk
[07:21] <zAo^> I hope it gets in Kubuntu. KDE 3.4.1 crashes every 10 mins here, so Im stuck to Gnome
[07:21] <Oculus|afk> hm
[07:22] <zAo^> no error msg; nothing. Tried everything I could :(
[07:24] <dean> enjoy the silence...
[07:27] <PieD> zAo^: what do you mean by crashes ?
[07:27] <PieD> kicker crashes ?
[07:27] <PieD> the background crashes ?
[07:28] <zAo^> total freezes and Xorg crashes without anty messages
[07:29] <PieD> what graphic card ?
[07:29] <PieD> with which driver ?
[07:29] <PieD> did you look at the Xorg logs ?
[07:30] <zAo^> PieD, nothing in there. I used a ATI 9600 Pro and a GF 4 Ti 4200
[07:31] <PieD> did you enable translucency in KDE ?
[07:31] <PieD> where do the KDE packages come from ?
[07:31] <PieD> can't you try upgrading to KDE 3.4.2 ?
[07:31] <equex> hold it hold it just two seconds
[07:31] <equex> what did you just say
[07:32] <equex> can tranluceny trash kdE ?
[07:32] <equex> and freeze the frigging box ?
[07:32] <PieD> it can crash X.org
[07:32] <equex> omfg
[07:32] <PieD> especially with ATI cards
[07:32] <equex> HAHAHA
[07:32] <PieD> that's because of buggy drivers
[07:32] <equex> <-- ATI + tranclucney
[07:32] <PieD> windows translucency off course
[07:33] <equex> yes my kicker is that
[07:33] <PieD> ...
[07:33] <PieD> kicker translucent is a hack
[07:33] <PieD> it shows the wallpaper on kicker background
[07:33] <PieD> nothing more
[07:33] <PieD> you can try having a window under kicker : you won't see it
[07:34] <equex> ok back to normal settings now
[07:34] <equex> let s i my uptime goes beyond 24 hour
[07:34] <PieD> I was only speaking about true windows translucency (with shadows)
[07:35] <equex> see if*
[07:37] <equex> when i left windows xp (home), my record was 8 months uptime, 6 of them i stayed connected to the same irc server
[07:37] <apokryphos> woah
[07:37] <equex> this shit freezes every 24 hours
[07:37] <equex> and that reboot of the xp was voluntary
[07:37] <equex> :p
[07:38] <equex> so im still a little sceptical about linux
[07:38] <equex> but i guess it will straigthen it out when i get used to it
[07:38] <OculusAquilae> equex: what graphics card do you have?
[07:38] <equex> ati9200
[07:39] <OculusAquilae> thats not normal that it chashes :-)
[07:39] <OculusAquilae> or freezes
[07:39] <OculusAquilae> with which driver?
[07:39] <equex> xserver-xorg-fglrx
[07:39] <equex> tried the propetiary drivers too
[07:40] <equex> newest
[07:40] <OculusAquilae> ati is often a problem, but i don't have ati
[07:40] <equex> yeah so i hear. i do have a nvidia gf4mx in the other box
[07:41] <equex> maybe i should switch, even 9200 is alot newer
[07:41] <OculusAquilae> but i don't know if that is the problem, but maybe
[07:41] <equex> and i'd like to keep its performance on this machine
[07:41] <zAo^> my ati was stable for more than a week with gnome, so..
[07:42] <OculusAquilae> oh, ati card are ofthen much slower under linux than windows
[07:42] <OculusAquilae> nvidia has about the same speed
[07:53] <Jeezis> just an aside to those of you with ati card troubles, try cruising the gentoo forums, thats where i found a few wiki's and howto's that helped with my radeon 320m igp
[07:54] <Jeezis> i'm a kubuntu user all the way :-p but their forums did help
[08:00] <zAo^> can conquerer play the movies at gamespot?
[08:03] <stibby> is a swap drive extended or primary?
[08:08] <PieD> stibby: it can be both
[08:08] <stibby> thanks
[08:14] <equex> ok Jeevan
[08:14] <equex> Jeezis:
[08:38] <dominic> Dies ist ein Test, bin doch mal gespannt
[08:58] <spores> anyone alive here?
[08:59] <tvo> :)
[09:15] <EasterSunshine> we are all dead zombies like in residental evil
[09:20] <tvo> :D
[09:30] <hyperactivecrond> where is apxs for apache2 installed by default?
[09:32] <Festnetz> Hi @ll.
[09:33] <Festnetz> I've got a problem with my DSL-access: Everytime I log in it takes another device (ppp0, ppp1, ppp2). My iptables-script just manages ppp0. How to get the system to use ppp0 only?
[10:25] <Festnetz> I've got a problem with my DSL-access: Everytime I log in it takes another device (ppp0, ppp1, ppp2). My iptables-script just manages ppp0. How to get the system to use ppp0 only?
[10:50] <zAo^> thanks God: back on KDE :)
