[03:53] <_2> cause it's kind of stupid imo.
[03:55] <[NetSkier> Why is there no help for ktorrent?
[03:56] <[NetSkier> Why doesn't the ktorrent online manual exist? The file or folder help:/ktorrent/index.html does not exist.
[03:56] <_2> maybe because the ops ran every body off with the 'we hate root' policy ? any way i'm not hanging around where i'm not wanted.
[03:57] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; what are you trying to do with kTorrent that isn't working?
[03:58] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, download fast.
[03:58] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; did you forward the ports needed?
[03:59] <[NetSkier> noaXess, because I could not find which ports were needed. That is why I wanted to read the online manual.
[03:59] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, because I could not find which ports were needed. That is why I wanted to read the online manual.
[04:00] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; you tell it which ports to use or use the plugin to forward them for you.
[04:00] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, Please elaborate re the plugin.
[04:00] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; UPnP plugin.
[04:01] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, OK, I saw that but guessed it was a ms windows thing, so skipped it.
[04:03] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; that is amazing to think something that off the wall.
[04:05] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, well I am more creative than smart. ;)
[04:06] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; did that solve the problem you're having? torrenting isn't always fast regardless of having the setting correct or not.
[04:06] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, Actually, statistically there are FAR more windows users than linux users, so why would it be surprising to have something specfic for windows in a router?
[04:06] <bastid_raZor> [NetSkier; why would kubuntu have something for a different OS?
[04:07] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, I saw this in my router configuration screen,not in Kubuntu.
[04:07] <bastid_raZor> nevermind.
[04:13] <Xpert> Hi i have a big problem with kde, someone can help me ?
[04:13] <Xpert> me main pannel (down bar disapeared)

[04:14] <[NetSkier> bastid_raZor, I was confused because I saw that UPnP section in my router, and my mind was stuck on that. I enabled the ktorrent UPnP plugin, and now have a non-zero upload speed, and things seem to be accelerating.

[04:38] <yousef_> Will kde 3.5 ever be available for kubuntu 8.10??
[04:38] <[NetSkier> manish, I would but I have no idea re your problem.
[04:39] <manish> Thanks a Lot for listening. have a nice day
[04:40] <[NetSkier> yousef_, My guess is NO, since folks are more likely to spend their effort making 4 work well.
[04:40] <[NetSkier> yousef_, but one should never say "never".
[04:40] <mister-tea-lapto> manish: try the mozilla forums
[04:41] <yousef_> damn
[04:41] <yousef_> i have kde4
[04:41] <yousef_> *hate
[04:41] <mister-tea-lapto> go back to 8.04
[04:43] <yousef_> thats what i'm on now
[04:43] <[NetSkier> mister-tea-lapto, What about reconfiguring 8.1 to run Gnome until KDE4 gets fixed? Would not that be easier than reinstalling?
[04:44] <mister-tea-lapto> maybe
[04:44] <mister-tea-lapto> but he's still on 8.04
[04:45] <yousef_> i guess im staying on 8.04 as long as i can
[04:45] <[NetSkier> mister-tea-lapto, I am thinking about trying just that. I have two KDE 4 systems. One, KDE 4.1 runs pretty well, but I upgraded that one from 8.04 using the UN-approved method. The other one runs KDE 4.2b2, and is totally screwed, and was upgraded using the PREFERRED method. Preferred by WHOM I wonder, not by me.
[04:46] <[NetSkier> yousef_, YOu can stay on it for at least a couple of more years.
[04:46] <RobertLaptop> Kde 4.1 is getting closer to replacing 3.5. But I am staying with 8.04 until 4.x is as usable as 3.5
[04:46] <mister-tea-lapto> me too
[04:47] <yousef_> nice
[04:47] <mister-tea-lapto> my 8.04 3.5.10 works great
[04:48] <mister-tea-lapto> if I wanted problems I'd go back to windoze

[04:53] <RobertLaptop> Last time I ran 4.1.x it has two major issue left. 1 rendor windows. It seems to have issues rendor windows. I have seen in under both fedora and kubuntu on both nvidia opensource, closesourced and Intel video cards. 2nd is you can't configure you task bar that makes switching tasks much harder.
[04:55] <yousef_> 4.1 has too much crap in the system tray

[05:24] <sonic> Using kde 4.2 beta2, I still dont have access to the kde4 k3b or konversation. Why is that? Opensuse I know uses the never versions. Are they still in kde playgroud?
[05:28] <sonic> NetSkier: if you are not afraid to lose your settings and such, sometimes a good "rm -rf .kde" (from a terminal login so kde doesnt resave the bad configs on logout) can sort out alot of issues after a big kde upgrade. A fresh set of configs might clean kde4 up for you

[06:48] <DarkriftX> does anyone know what causes kde to detect my usb storage devices and add them to my desktop for easy mounting? (mine only works about 20% of the time and im trying to figure out why/fix it)
[07:03] <dr_willis> I thought kde4 had some little plasmaioid thing in the panel that did that.. not the desktop..
[07:06] <angeline> how can to use Wireless network? I'm 1st time user
[07:07] <angeline> How to use *
[07:07] <dr_willis> use that restricted-driver tool to be sure the drivers are installed.. then if that works... ther shold be some network-manager icon on the panel to configure the thing
[07:07] <angeline> hmm.. Thanks for ur information
[07:08] <angeline> but I'll try
[07:08] <angeline> now I'm using wired...

[10:30] <downhill_> where can I find the early 2004 and 2005 releases of Kubuntu (ISOs)?
[10:30] <downhill_> they aren't mirrored anymore :/
[10:31] <bazhang> downhill_, which ones
[10:31] <downhill_> weren't there releases back in 2004 and 2005?
[10:32] <downhill_> 6.06 is the oldest I can find.
[10:33] <bazhang> downhill_, why would you want an eol release
[10:34] <downhill_> I'd rather not answer that. It's not relevant to the question anyway.
[10:34] <bazhang> downhill_, well if it is end of life it is totally unsupported, and will get zero security upgrades or bug fixes
[10:35] <downhill_> bazhang; I've been using Linux since ~1999. I know. I'm just asking a simple question. If you care to say something relevant, that'd be great...
[10:35] <downhill_> this channel is always so unhelpful.
[10:35] <bazhang> downhill_, which specific release
[10:36] <downhill_> I already answered that twice. You're on ignore.
[10:43] <m4v> downhill_: try torrents, or other p2p software, as bazhang say, those releases are unsupported.
[10:43] <fjellrev1> downhill_: this what you looking for http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.04/ or http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ ??
[10:43] <downhill_> fjellrev1; the first one, yes! thank you =D
[10:43] <downhill_> very much.
[10:43] <fjellrev1> hey!!newbie fixes!! :D
[10:44] <Tm_T> downhill_: FYI, you should check your attitude, we all do our best, son
[10:44] <downhill_> I wonder if the ignore list has a limit.
[10:44] <downhill_> thanks again fjellrev1 ^_^
[10:45] <fjellrev1> perhaps someone could tell me where Ktorrent is located so I can fix firefox to run torrents instead of downloading
[10:45] <Tm_T> fjellrev1: open konsole and run "which ktorrent"

[10:49] <blackflag> Hello all :) I have a quad-core a 2GHz. When I have a look cat /proc/cpuinfo there a 8 cpu's shown each with 1GHz. How could this be?
[10:49] <fjellrev1> downhill_: what is xdg anyways?
[10:49] <downhill_> fjellrev1; a freedesktop.org way to provide a D/E-neutral way of opening files.
[10:49] <Tm_T> blackflag: hyperthreading I guess
[10:50] <downhill_> er, well, xdg-open is
[10:50] <downhill_> blackflag; Intel i7?
[10:51] <blackflag> no its an AMD
[10:51] <downhill_> hmm, well the 1ghz is due to Cool'n'Quiet
[10:52] <downhill_> I dunno why it shows 8. Are you running a new Deneb core (Phenom II) or just the Agena core (Phenom I)?
[10:52] <blackflag> Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2350
[10:53] <downhill_> ooooh D) Neither haha

[10:58] <downhill_> you betcha.
[11:01] <fjellrev1> downhill_: Perhaps you know how to fix my firefox from crashing unexpectedly all the time without warning or error,or even better,making flash actually work ALL the time in konqueror?
[11:01] <downhill_> fjellrev1; wouldn't know squat about konq, I don't like it or use it. Are you running a lot of addons in Firefox?
[11:02] <downhill_> or any, for that matter.
[11:03] <fjellrev1> downhill_: only language packs,ubuntu pack,flash and vlc plug in
[11:03] <downhill_> damn, that's pretty much what I use (except lang packs)
[11:03] <downhill_> you could run an strace if your compy can handle it
[11:04] <fjellrev1> strace?
[11:04] <downhill_> like... strace firefox | tail -n 100 -f
[11:04] <downhill_> stack trace
[11:04] <fjellrev1> okay.i will try
[11:04] <dragonrider8> hello
[11:04] <downhill_> dunno how helpful that'll be tho...
[11:05] <fjellrev1> hehe,well loads of stuff happened,is there anything in particular I should be on a look out for?
[11:06] <dragonrider8> is there a release for kubuntu 8.10 alternate power pc ps3 ?
[11:06] <dragonrider8> i only found for ubuntu
[11:06] <downhill_> fjellrev1; you also might want to try disabling the gtk/qt theme changing mechanism (whatever the name is...), it's in systemsettings > appearance > GTK Style or whatever
[11:06] <downhill_> fjellrev1; did it crash yet?
[11:08] <fjellrev1> downhill_: not yet,but I guess I'll just have to wait for it,but the wierd thing is that allthough it crashes I can still to restore previous session and nothing bad happens :/
[11:08] <downhill_> interesting
[11:09] <christophe> #ubuntu-fr
[11:09] <downhill_> don't mean to sound like a prick, but lots of people complain about firefox on windows crashing like that and it only happens like a handful of times a year for me >.<
[11:09] <downhill_> same on Linux >.<
[11:10] <fjellrev1> heh,catch your drift,but the thing is that this happens atleast two-three times a day.I have been a slow progressing newb for years now so I am very comfertable with ignoring bugs and crashes :) this one though is appearing too much

[11:20] <dustrial> does this mean i cant use my KDE3? anymore?=> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu
[11:21] <downhill_> dustrial; yep.
[11:21] <dustrial> :( thx
[11:22] <dustrial> kde4 is reliable fun right now?
[11:23] <downhill_> 4.2 brings a mass of features, bug fixes and other goodies. You'll be good :)
[11:23] <dustrial> and i still can run kde3 apps if i need to?
[11:24] <downhill_> only if they're in the repository. For example, 8.10 comes with Amarok 1.x.
[11:24] <downhill_> you can always compile them if you choose.
[11:26] <dustrial> :) the damn problem with this linux OS is, i dont know where the work is in... 1000 little workarounds... but thanks, i try the trick... =)
[11:29] <downhill_> dustrial; KDE4 is a major version upgrade. unlike Windows, it doesn't have a lot of compatibility layers and blah blah blah. they just re-write or port the old apps to work with the new libraries. it's a different way of doing things, and it's usually at the expense of the user. but then, name an OS that has a nicer desktop shell than KDE4 ;)
[11:29] <downhill_> it's give and take.
[11:30] <downhill_> try to think of KDE4 and KDE3 as 2 separate products ;)
[11:30] <dustrial> yeah i see that
[11:31] <downhill_> ah yeah, word.
[11:31] <dustrial> i was just thinking of kde4 as u stable and kde3 as my productive home
[11:31] <dustrial> had major drbl with kde4.2 and removed it from my system
[11:31] <downhill_> 4.2 will probably change your mind on that ;) let's hope anyway, eh? :)
[11:32] <downhill_> it's not done yet...
[11:32] <downhill_> RC1 is due out very soon
[11:33] <dustrial> yeah... i really wanted to keep 8.04, because of longterm soupport, but my hardware is pretty new and i hope i can use more of my stuff with 8.10
[11:34] <downhill_> I think yearly updates work best.

[12:31] <StR|Sangreal> hola! please how can i install ooo3 sk onto my kubuntu?
[12:32] <dr_willis> !ooo3
[12:32] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ooo3
[12:32] <StR|Sangreal> !openoffice.org
[12:32] <ubottu> a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org
[12:32] <dr_willis> From what i gather.. ooo3.. can cause issues.. but theres supposed to be some PPA or other repos for it.
[12:32] <dr_willis> i wouldnet mess with it - unless you really really really needed oooo3
[12:33] <StR|Sangreal> well my company works with ooxml :(
[12:33] <ksa-24> ؟\
[12:34] <StR|Sangreal> ooxml is the native MSO13 format (docx, xlsx...)
[12:34] <StR|Sangreal> and afaik there is no support for those on 241 or is it?
[12:34] <dr_willis> Theres a few too many buzzwords/anacroms/tech terms in that last sentance or 2... :)
[12:34] <dr_willis> ive no idea. on what it has..
[12:35] <dr_willis> i do know that oo03 has caused some issues in kde4 - from what people ive seen in here asking about problems after installing it.
[12:35] <StR|Sangreal> ooxml is a new closed source microsoft markup code which is probably not supported in openoffice.org 2.41
[12:36] <StR|Sangreal> but as my company used mso13 and hence most of documents are in docx, xlsx or so, i need ooxml support onto my kubuntu
[12:36] <StR|Sangreal> not necessarily ooo3, but i dont know any sollution
[12:37] <StR|Sangreal> (ooxml sux i know, but what else can i do?)
[12:41] <StR|Sangreal> except that, a simple question: how can i add files into my amarok collection?!
[12:41] <yusuf_> StR|Sangreal: http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=3363
[12:42] <yusuf_> using open office 3 on kubuntu
[12:42] <yusuf_> followed the intructions on that web page

[12:58] <pidus> is there anyway that i could get back the 'desktop' button in kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.1...or some shorter way to get to desktop rather than minimising all the open windows?
[12:59] <JontheEchidna> pidus: there's the show desktop widget
[13:01] <JontheEchidna> just drag it from the add widgets window to the very edge of the panel. (It's much easier to drag things to the panel in 4.2)
[13:01] <StR|Sangreal> y
[13:01] <pidus> JontheEchidna: cool! thanks...also do you know..why don't i see the top menu(including the file menu) in many applications such a amarok
[13:01] <StR|Sangreal> pls how can i add files onto amarok library?
[13:02] <StR|Sangreal> pidus: try alt F3 > advanced settings > uncheck no border
[13:02] <StR|Sangreal> (must be above the window with the cursor of course)
[13:03] <pidus> its already unchecked
[13:03] <StR|Sangreal> no clue then
[13:03] <StR|Sangreal> how can i add files into the library please?
[13:04] <pidus> do u explicitly want to add a specific file or a folder containing files?
[13:05] <pidus> ahh! my top menu just doesn't show in amarok..
[13:05] <StR|Sangreal> folder
[13:07] <pidus> go to settings->collection and select the folders you wish for it to scan and select "rescan collection"
[13:08] <ksa-24> الوووووووووو
[13:08] <pidus> in my case i no longer see the settings menu :-(
[13:10] <StR|Sangreal> how can i configure my multimedia keys for play, stop, backward, forward, open to work in amarok?
[13:12] <StR|Sangreal> ok, already solved
[13:13] <StR|Sangreal> but it is buggy: i cannot force the play/pause button to change its meaning if sth is running or not
[13:14] <StR|Sangreal> it simply replays the song so i have to configure pause for eg shift+play
[13:18] <StR|Sangreal> please, i have trouble with my flashplayer
[13:18] <StR|Sangreal> it is installed by default, but doesnt work
[13:18] <StR|Sangreal> how can i fix that?
[13:20] <pidus> if its installed as a package it'd appear in your package manager adept/synaptic or whatever you are using
[13:21] <StR|Sangreal> it is there

[15:57] <charles__> digam me pode ser em qualque lingua pra que serve isso
[15:59] <dustrial> got a wireless card for my desktop system, didnt use it with ubuntu 8.04, just installed 8.10 with newer kernel, and now it should be used ... i dont know how to test it... so i am looking for a hardware manager where i can see if the hardware is recognized and up n' ready ...
[15:59] <legodude> dmesg?
[15:59] <dustrial> mm i try it
[16:00] <legodude> I have a "hardware viewing" program
[16:00] <dustrial> from the repos?
[16:00] <legodude> dunno
[16:01] <legodude> I'm looking at it, but not really sure that it gives any useful info
[16:01] <legodude> I'd try dmesg for sure
[16:03] <[Synapse]> Hello everyone! Please tell me, can I install KDE3 in Kubuntu 8.10 insted of KDE4? I understood that it's the default one there, no?

[16:05] <legodude> don't know anything about it, but there you go
[16:06] <Nikke_> [Synapse]: what ive been told you cant install it in a smart and easy way
[16:06] <vito_> Kububtu 8.10 how can mount cdrom or dvd? 'il mount point /mnt/cdrom non esiste'!!
[16:08] <stdin> vito_: /media/cdrom
[16:11] <vito_> stdin: sudo mount -t /media/cdrom /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
[16:12] <szrhawaii> is python 3 any different from python 2.5
[16:12] <legodude> yes
[16:12] <legodude> quite different
[16:12] <stdin> vito_: just do "mount /media/cdrom0"
[16:12] <szrhawaii> if so whats the diff
[16:12] <legodude> #python will tell you
[16:13] <szrhawaii> it says i need to be identified
[16:13] <stdin> szrhawaii: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/
[16:13] <szrhawaii> what common differences do you notice on it
[16:13] <vito_> stdin now is mounted, but it appear empty..
[16:15] <stdin> vito_: make sure the CD/DVD is not empty
[16:20] <vito_> iìm sure.. i tryed with a lot of them.. on photo CD not problem, on an mp3 CD, it don't reads..
[16:20] <v6lur> hi. how can i hide a logical fat32 partition on a external hdd?
[16:20] <v6lur> qtparted shows the partition's status as hidden, but when i plug it in, KDE(3) still shows "new media device" dialog for this partition
[16:22] <vito_> stdin: i tryed with a lot of them.. on photo CD not problem, on an mp3 CD, it don't reads..

[16:24] <vito_> stdin: the dvd too don't start automatically..
[16:26] <pjammer> vito_: is your system setup to read mp3's though?
[16:26] <pjammer> now he leaves?
[16:27] <v6lur> hm, seems i can only hide the extended partition that the logical part. is in. that'll do.
[16:37] <william> I am attempting to make incremental backups of a remote server on a spare hard drive I have using rsync. Everything is working fine but I would like to automate the process
[16:38] <william> currently I run a command 'sudo backup_remote_server.sh'
[16:38] <william> the problem is I can't put this as a cron job because sudo prompts for a password
[16:38] <william> I am sure this is a common problem, any ideas?
[16:40] <william> is this a case where I should enable my root account?

[16:47] <DaSkreech> [Synapse]: Ha ha ha no
[16:47] <DaSkreech> [Synapse]: 5 at most
[16:47] <[Synapse]> and for what yes?:)
[16:48] <yoolao> i dont know more that me
[16:48] <DaSkreech> [Synapse]: Official packages are only on Hardy. unoffical packages are available for Ibex
[16:48] <[Synapse]> what is the mirror for them?
[16:48] <[Synapse]> http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ - this one?
[16:52] <DaSkreech> [Synapse]: That's one but we are trying to advocate people using hte PPA
[16:52] <DaSkreech> Quite a few of the externaly packaged KDE3 repos are very badly done and while they work will mess up your system
[16:54] <dustrial> well, i cant find a ePCI card in lspci ... so how do i check for ePCI soupport?

[16:58] <KomiaPoika> Daisuke_Ido: how do i not use the xen kernel ?
[16:58] <KomiaPoika> i installed 8.10 upgrading from 8.04

[17:03] <Bedboy16> how can i install the driver for a radeon 7000 on kubuntu 8.10
[17:03] <Daisuke_Ido> DaSkreech: knetworkmanager is quite flaky, it regularly crashes when trying to set up wep for my network
[17:04] <DaSkreech> knetworkamanger is KDE3
[17:04] <Daisuke_Ido> but it's a beta, i know that. i'll probably just try back when 4.2 final is released
[17:05] <Daisuke_Ido> and that's my other thing. there are still too many apps not ported for me to consider taking that plunge permanently. it looks like it's making progress, but it's just not ready for *me* yet
[17:05] <DaSkreech> Daisuke_Ido: RC1 is 3 days away
[17:05] <DaSkreech> Daisuke_Ido: Which apps do you need?
[17:05] <Daisuke_Ido> i will definitely take a look at that
[17:06] <mefisto__> KomiaPoika: sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-restricted-modules
[17:06] <Daisuke_Ido> i would prefer kde4 native kaudiocreator and k3b
[17:06] <Daisuke_Ido> but for the moment, i'd be happy with good power management and working networking under kde

[17:12] <Bedboy16> how can i install the driver for a radeon 7000 on kubuntu 8.10
[17:13] <Adola> Bedboy16: It should install automatically.
[17:13] <Adola> Under proprietary drivers.
[17:16] <Bedboy16> Adola: the list "propietary drivers" is empty...
[17:17] <Adola> Well, I'm not experienced enough to help you further. All I could say is google "Radeon 7000 drivers Ubuntu"
[17:21] <aeonoris> Could anybody give me advice on a good motherboard to buy? The end computer will probably be a quad-core kubuntu general purpose computer, with a focus on games.
[17:21] <DaSkreech> Adola: It's not propietary
[17:21] <look2thestars> If you got the money, get Intel.
[17:21] <DaSkreech> Adola: AMD doesn't have support for that anymore since the oen source driver is better than the one they provide
[17:21] <DaSkreech> Bedboy16: See above
[17:22] <look2thestars> You won't be sorry. For more of a budget, check tomshardware guide... new stuff out all the time. Do the research, it will pay off.
[17:22] <DaSkreech> aeonoris: One that supports a quadcore and PCi-E
[17:22] <DaSkreech> not sure what else you'd want :)
[17:22] <Adola> DaSkreech: Really? Wow, that's kinda pwned isn't it?
[17:22] <DaSkreech> aeonoris: hit up ##hardware or #gametome
[17:22] <DaSkreech> Adola: No tht's the way they want it
[17:22] <Adola> aeonoris: Yeah, I too have that question.
[17:22] <look2thestars> exit
[17:22] <DaSkreech> look2thestars: try /quit
[17:22] <Adola> I want Quad-Core, preferably intel. With crossfire support
[17:22] <Adola> P35?
[17:22] <DaSkreech> Adola: ##hardware
[17:23] <aeonoris> DaSkreech, thanks.
[17:23] <DaSkreech> #phoronix if you want Linux hardware geks
[17:23] <DaSkreech> geeks
[17:23] <Adola> Yeah, thanks.
[17:24] <DaSkreech> Adola: If the open source driver is really good they don't have to waste time supporting that card anymore. They can focus more on hardware and software for new cards and new features as open source guys catch up they can drop it and move on
[17:24] <DaSkreech> It's a great model
[17:25] <Adola> Oh, that's cool.
[17:25] <Adola> Ahh, ATI is so smart.
[17:25] <Adola> Much better than those nVidia suckers.
[17:25] <DaSkreech> AMD
[17:25] <DaSkreech> Well they have more balls I guess
[17:25] <DaSkreech> nVidia doesn't want to get sued
[17:25] <Adola> Yeah, AMD, sorry. But, I still choose to call them ATI...Because...ATIRADEONMAN is my email adress :)
[17:26] <DaSkreech> Is the story they tell
[17:26] <DaSkreech> Adola: Wooot :)
[17:26] <DaSkreech> I would think that you would be more hip to the driver situation then "_"

[17:27] <Adola> Also, every release of Ubuntu is another +6 to my anniverasry with Linux.
[17:27] <dustrial> so really, where to manage drivers on kde4
[17:27] <dustrial> ?

[17:30] <DaSkreech> Yeah
[17:31] <aeonoris> Adola, PlayOnLinux (via WINE, but POL is more comvenient) is a pretty good program for getting games running on Linux.
[17:31] <aeonoris> convenient*
[17:31] <Adola> aeonoris: I'm sorry..But, I've tried WINE. It's just....I don't care what ANYONE says. You can't beat the real thing. It's not possible.
[17:32] <Adola> However, I've been considering a VM. but, my current PC prolly would die :) I've got a Pentium IIII with 3.0 GHZ and 1GB or ram. So, I dont' think it will VM a Windowsbox.
[17:32] <Bedboy16> Adola: i found on google that driver in xorg.conf schould be ati, but it is vesa...

[17:35] <dustrial> well guys, KDE4 just doesnt offer some necessary control tools from KDE3 ... how to manage drivers?
[17:35] <Adola> bedboy must have restarted :/ I've had to do what he's doing.. I usually get a nice "Resolution is not compatible" error and must change back to vesa. But, 8.10 fixed all that :)
[17:38] <aeonoris> dustrial, the hardware drivers manager, I think the name might have something to do with "jockey".
[17:39] <Bedboy16> when i change driver in Xorg.conf to ati, the x-server doesn't start...
[17:39] <Bedboy16> how can i install the driver?
[17:42] <mefisto__> Bedboy16: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[17:43] <Bedboy16> mefisto: it's already installed :-|
[17:44] <mefisto__> Bedboy16: so what you need is a good xorg.conf setup
[17:45] <mefisto__> Bedboy16: there are lots of howto's on the web. search for your video card + xorg.conf, or just "ati + xorg.conf"
[17:46] <KomiaPoika> mefisto__: i got it to work with version 1.80
[17:47] <mefisto__> KomiaPoika: what? a different nvidia driver?
[17:49] <Bedboy16> is there no autoconf-tool for xorg on kubuntu?
[17:51] <mefisto__> Bedboy16: look at the top of your xorg.conf file. it should tell you there: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[19:48] <aeonoris> Max, is your xorg.conf mouse device section configured so that the extra buttons are 'there'?
[19:49] <maxmahem> aeonoris: well I don't see an input section in xorg.conf at all... but xev does give me responses when I click them, so I assume they are enabled.

[21:43] <dr_willis> its a 'secialzed thing' ? ;)

[21:55] <Orbjinzo> ya that i know how
[21:55] <Orbjinzo> im actually talking the line that it has between nicks and the text
[21:55] <Orbjinzo> kinda of annoyinhg
[21:56] <dr_willis> actually I perfer it there.. I find it annoying on clients that dont have it

[21:56] <dr_willis> a lot of settings are setable with the /set command also
[22:00] <maxmahem> I may have found the problem with arK. It won't do rar's unless you add the back-end library to do it.
[22:01] <maxmahem> Not a problem that, BUT it doesn't give you any kind of feedback that making rar's isn't possible untill you do this.
[22:01] <maxmahem> RAR's show up on the menu and everything, despite the fact they won't work.

[22:19] <maxmahem> Fresh out the box it makes you think it is all set to go with rars. Which is apparently a lie.
[22:19] <maxmahem> Even after installing rar via apt-get it still doesn't seem to be working though.

[22:55] <shadowkanji> right-click the sound icon, open kmix
[22:56] <shadowkanji> then (trying to remember, using ubuntu atm), then there should be a preferences option which should allow you to enable other channels
