[00:14] <antonio_> hi
[00:15] <antonio_> anybody out there?
[00:16] <Walzmyn> thanks guys, i'd walked away from the computer
[00:23] <ragarth> So where's a good place to go to solve cups issues?

[00:25] <ragarth> Thanks, I've gone as far with this problem as I know how to.
[00:35] <ragarth> Ah bummer, already tried all these links. :-(
[00:35] <DaskreeCH> ragarth: #cups
[00:36] <DaskreeCH> Dragnslcr: You use kopete?
[00:37] <Dragnslcr> DaskreeCH- yeah
[00:37] <ragarth> I feel like an idiot, I could have sword I tried that channel and failed. I probably typed something silly like cpus.
[00:38] <DaskreeCH> Dragnslcr: how much cpU does it use up?
[00:39] <Dragnslcr> About 4% for me right now, but I'm not doing anything with it
[00:40] <DaskreeCH> ragarth:  you Sword it eh? ;-)
[00:40] <DaskreeCH> Dragnslcr: It's like 64% for me
[00:40] <Dragnslcr> That's pretty weird
[00:40] <DaskreeCH> Dragnslcr: 4.2?
[00:40] <Dragnslcr> 4.2.4, yeah
[00:41] <DaskreeCH> Hmm I'm KDE 4.3 which uses all KDE4 code
[00:41] <Dragnslcr> What services are you connected to?
[00:41] <DaskreeCH> wonder if that made a difference
[00:41] <DaskreeCH> Yahoo  Jabber ICQ and AIM
[00:41] <Dragnslcr> Might be something in the 4.3 version
[00:42] <Dragnslcr> Same that I'm on
[00:42] <ragarth> DaskreeCH, I'm just assuming, since I could swear I tried to go there and couldn't, so either I had a bought of lysdexia or I'm just trying to make myself feel better.

[01:04] <beatzz> So, theres a problem with my login screen
[01:05] <beatzz> its resolution is bigger than the screen is
[01:05] <beatzz> so its got this weird black border
[01:05] <beatzz> well i fixed it, and its simply by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:05] <beatzz> making the monitor res the same as the display res

[01:22] <DaskreeCH> Anyone has annoyances with Kubuntu?
[01:23] <ragarth> My issue's been eaten by schrodinger's cat, so I'm not sure if it's kubuntu, cups, or a hairball stuck in my CPU fan.
[01:26] <DaskreeCH> with which printer?
[01:26] <draik> DaskreeCH: I've got 'net issues still and there's something else, but must not be too important as I can't recall it now. Actually, I'm sure it is vital, but not right now as I'm not dealing with it in any aspect.

[01:28] <ragarth> DaskreeCH, It's a lexmark x2600. Some programs print just fine with it, others fail. http://paste.ubuntu.com/200397/ is my error logs for the failures. I'm using the recommended driver from lexmark.
[01:28] <m4v> I have issues with sound mixing when using amarok with youtube, mplayer or something else, but I'm too tired to be bothered
[01:29] <Walzmyn> m4v: i think that means you're using Linux :(
[01:30] <m4v> Walzmyn: hehe
[01:31]  * ragarth had no issues with sound overlapping in gnome, but does in kde. It's always been a minor inconvenience.

[01:32] <bobleny> Is anyone here familuare with virtual box?
[01:33] <xjjk> bobleny: what about it
[01:34] <bobleny> I would like to *boot* into my vista partition from with in ubuntu. I'm wondering if virtual box is able to do this?
[01:35] <bobleny> If not, what is?
[01:35] <xjjk> bobleny: I'm honestly not sure, but Virtualbox does let you use a physical disk/partiton instead of a virtualized one
[01:35] <xjjk> that may be able to boot Vista from within Ubuntu
[01:35] <bobleny> Yeah, I read that.
[01:36] <bobleny> I'm not so sure though.
[01:36] <xjjk> bobleny: what I'm not sure about is how Vista handles hardware differences between the physical machine and Virtualbox
[01:36] <xjjk> when booted two different ways
[01:36] <bobleny> I will ask on their forums I guess.
[01:36] <xjjk> said feature probably works great with Linux
[01:36] <m4v> ragarth: If I tell phonon to use pulseaudio then mixing works, but I don't like pulseaudio, the sound chops too often, and there's latency
[01:36] <xjjk> bobleny: yah, that'd be best
[01:36] <bobleny> Thank you anyways.

[01:48] <Dragnslcr> Heh
[01:51] <sirninja> Is there a way to have a different set of startup applications for gnome and kde?
[01:51] <Bsims> I just got my palm pre, I can't get it to connect to amarok, any ideas?
[01:53] <Dragnslcr> sirninja- I don't know about Gnome, but KDE's Autostart is in System Settings -> Advanced
[01:54] <DaskreeCH> sirninja: They should have different autostarts
[01:54] <DaskreeCH> I don't actually know that I'm just guessing
[01:55] <DaskreeCH> Bsims: Nope what version of Amarok?
[01:56] <Dragnslcr> sirninja- In the Autostart settings, if you click Advanced, there's an option for "Only autostart in KDE", though I'm not sure exactly what that does
[01:56] <DaskreeCH> sirninja: http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html Nope :)
[01:57] <DaskreeCH> Though I guess you can do a simple script that tests the KDE variables and launches stuff
[01:57] <sirninja> yeah... i could... it's really only one program I DONT want in kde
[01:58] <DaskreeCH> sirninja: Well I guess write a scrpt that tests fro Gnome and starts the app
[01:58] <DaskreeCH> for
[01:59] <Dragnslcr> DaskreeCH- that page says how to do it

[02:23] <harolddong> yahoo hasn't been able to connect for me in kopete for days.  Is this because of some change yahoo made?  is there a fix yet?
[02:25] <DaskreeCH>  cs107.msg.mud.yahoo.com
[02:25] <DaskreeCH> Change your server to that
[02:27] <Xet> : Hello I have a problem with Skype (I'm on Hardy) --> when I try to call I can't, It says: problem with the audio...
[02:29] <Dragnslcr> harolddong- yes, it is because of Yahoo changing their servers
[02:29] <DaskreeCH> Xet: Change your default audio tosomething else
[02:31] <bazhang> !yahoo
[02:31] <ubottu> At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.
[02:32] <ragarth> Augh. Now gimp will print, but I still can't print a testpage from cups.
[02:34] <draik> DaskreeCH: genii: I think my network issues was the tip of the iceberg. The other thing that doesn't work is USB. I connect flash drives and external USB drives and they fail to read. I plug them into my netbook (like I just did) and reads it all without a hitch. Do you think I might just have a bad mobo at this point? If so, is there a way to replace the mobo by matching my RAM? I know that they don't make 478's anymore, so I'm hoping to keep my RAM, vi

[02:35] <DaskreeCH> draik: Welcome to Ebay :)

[02:37] <ragarth> Is there a way to view the history of installed software in adept?
[02:37] <Dragnslcr> Wow, the bot already knows about the Yahoo problems
=== TheSoundMind is now known as sixofour
[02:38] <draik> DaskreeCH: But I want to find PC3200-compliant MoBo with at least 3.2GHz processor like I have now that will support at least 4 SATA, AGP 8x, 5 PCI expansions, etc. Or do you think I should just buy a 'new' Abit VT7 mobo?
[02:39] <DaskreeCH> ragarth: Yes
[02:39] <ragarth> DaskreeCH, Where can I find instructions on how to get that?
[02:40] <DaskreeCH> draik: I really couldn't give that advice but if you choose one or the other then you can probably accomplish either
[02:40] <DaskreeCH> ragarth: sudo dpkg -l I think
[02:40] <mferguson> what's the best way to import mirc servers?
[02:40] <draik> DaskreeCH: Fair enough. I will look through eBay.
[02:41] <draik> DaskreeCH: I found one on eBay and they want more for it than what it was when it first came out.
[02:41] <ragarth> DaskreeCH, 'fraid not, that's a listing of all my installed packages. Not a record of the last install I did.
[02:42] <DaskreeCH> ragarth: Ah that's int your dpkg log in /var/log
[02:42] <Dragnslcr> draik- RAM is dirt cheap, so I certainly wouldn't plan a motherboard purchase around your RAM
[02:43] <Walzmyn> Oh I just found a really sweet thing
[02:43] <Dragnslcr> The hardest thing to find in your list would probably be boards that still have an AGP slot
[02:43] <Walzmyn> If ya select several files and hit F2 to rename, it'll rename them all with sequential numbers
[02:43] <ragarth> DaskreeCH, Thanks, perfect.
[02:45] <draik> Dragnslcr: Would you know where I can find a mobo that will have 5 PCI ports along with AGP 8x and support for at least 4 SATA? I need at least that much?
[02:45] <draik> Exclude the last '?'
[02:45] <Dragnslcr> I can't imagine what you need 5 PCI slots for, but boards with AGP will be rare
[02:46] <draik> I figured as much
[02:47] <Dragnslcr> Newegg has 1 motherboard with an AGP slot
[02:48] <Walzmyn> draik: try pricegrabber.com - maybe their search features will help you find something
[02:48] <Dragnslcr> There's probably plenty of Intel boards with onboard graphics, which would probably be at least as good as most AGP cards
[02:48] <Xet> DaskreeCH: I try to change It but nothing.... Still the same : Problem with the audio I can't call
[02:49] <DaskreeCH> Xet: Test calls don't work?
[02:49] <Dragnslcr> Or you can get a cheap PCIE video card for $30
[02:50] <draik> How is foxconn? Good mobo brand?
[02:50] <Xet> DaskreeCH: No
[02:51] <draik> Walzmyn: Checking now.
[02:51] <Dragnslcr> draik- never had one, but I think they're decent
[02:51] <DaskreeCH> Not sure then there was a known issue with Skype where you needed to switch the audio to something else to get audio working
[02:52] <DaskreeCH>  you may have a different issue it seems
[02:54] <Xet> DaskreeCH: yep I searched about It but on the options I can't see the solution I mean: It says that I should put on the output pulse etc.. but I do not see that option
[02:54] <Xet> It worked well with Intrepid doing that
[02:54] <DaskreeCH> Xet: I didn't have it either I just swapped it to something else
[02:55] <DaskreeCH> I kept going through them and testing the test call till I got it
[02:56] <Xet> DaskreeCH:  to what?
[02:56] <Xet> well I'll keep trying
[02:56] <DaskreeCH> Xet: Don't know I uninstalled skype after a while
[02:57] <Xet> ok thanks anyway DaskreeCH
[02:57] <draik> Haha. I love the idiot that gave the mobo a 1-star because the company does not support Linux, but the mobo DOES, "What happens if you want to run Linux in 2-3 years and you have to buy a new mobo"
[02:57] <GnuSeb> How can I go about getting a word processor in Spanish? I have got openoffice dot org but I need a spanish version for a translation i'm working on
[03:01] <draik> For those here running Intel Core 2 Duo, any issues?
[03:02] <coz_> hey guys... ok  I have my n vidia driver installed and a wallpaper but it is only showing up on the primary monitor with the original default wallpaper on the secondary monitor   how to c hange/fix?
[03:03] <Dragnslcr> draik- heh, that's impressive. Dunno what kind of Linux support someone expects from a motherboard
[03:04] <Dragnslcr> GnuSeb- I would assume that OOo has a Spanish language pack
[03:04] <draik> Dragnslcr: I think I'm sold on this foxconn.
[03:04] <draik> I will only need new RAM, CPU and video card. Other than that, I think I'm good to go.
[03:05] <Dragnslcr> Yeah, that's usually what you need every time you get a new motherboard
[03:06] <Dragnslcr> I don't bother with a new motherboard until I need a new CPU and RAM anyway
[03:06] <draik> It's not a major issue, but it does suck that I can't use what I had on my current desktop.
[03:06] <Dragnslcr> You get used to it
[03:06] <Dragnslcr> Of course memory is dirt cheap anyway
[03:07] <draik> The odd thing is that I don't think it is mobo. I dual boot and the networking/USB issues don't happen in XP. I don't mean to start a flame war or anything, but what gives? Did my mobo just get blacklisted?
[03:09] <draik> My external 500GB appears that it will read and then the light just goes off. Doesn't dim, just goes off. I plug it into my netbook, not even a split second later it is asking me what I want to do with the external HDD.
[03:09] <Dragnslcr> I dunno. Certainly could be a weird driver issue. My onboard stuff has just always automagically worked
[03:09] <Xet> Well now I have another problem I'm on Hardy and the flashplugin is the 9, the youtube videos work fine, but I'm on a web page that uses a lot of flash (uses Tokbox for example) and all the time I try to load It the browser crashes (Firefox, Epiphany, Opera...)
[03:12] <bazhang> Xet, installing ff plugin flashblock may help

[03:17] <alex_> Hi!
[03:18] <draik> Dragnslcr: Ditto, it has worked for me too; automagically. Around early to mid-8.10, it just started giving out. I've been hopeful this entire time that a new kernel will fix it.
[03:18] <draik> Hello, alex_
[03:26] <bazhang> Xet, I understand that. flashblock lets you load each video at the time of your choosing, not all at once
[03:26] <draik> Left my external HDD plugged in and restarted the desktop since the network went out (again). The external HDD shows up and I click to open it, but it only opens up ~/Documents.
[03:27] <draik> Going to it through konqueror, I get: Could not enter folder /media/externalHDD

[07:32] <awesome_> yeah, didn't
[07:32] <manish_> try ifconfig
[07:32] <awesome_> yep
[07:32] <awesome_> do you want me to tell you everything that came up?
[07:33] <manish_> tell the eth0
[07:33] <manish_> there should be inet addr
[07:33] <trappist> has kmail lost the ability to thread messages, or am I missing something?
[07:33] <awesome_> oh, yeah
[07:34] <sekinto> Everything on my panel is aligned to the left, how do I fix this? I want the system tray and digital clock on the right.
[07:34] <awesome_> um, inet6 addr: fe80:21e:8cff:fe57:4879/64
[07:34] <Serpardum> Why the heck is 3
[07:34] <Serpardum> #wine an invite only channel?!?
[07:34] <manish_> do you see some thing like 192.168.1.4?
[07:34] <trappist> Serpardum: I think #winehq is what you want
[07:35] <awesome_> under lo i do
[07:35] <Serpardum> thats it
[07:35] <awesome_> it says inet addr:127.0.0.1
[07:35] <manish_> ah... and what about the eth0?
[07:36] <awesome_> under eth0 it doesn't say inet at all, only inet6
[07:36] <manish_> so that means you have not configured it.
[07:37] <manish_> ek min...
[07:37] <awesome_> yeah
[07:38] <awesome_> i'm not really sure how to do that though... really new to kubuntu, sorry
[07:41] <manish_> awesome_: I am running on Ubuntu.. I will switch to kubuntu and let you know. Hold on for 5 mins
[07:41] <awesome_> okay, thanks
[07:45] <manish> awesome_: hi

[07:47] <manish> Do you see the panel at the bottom beside the time?
[07:47] <awesome_> yes.
[07:47] <manish> One of them would be Network Management
[07:47] <awesome_> yeah, i see it
[07:49] <manish> awesome_: right click and go to Manage connections
[07:49] <awesome_> okay
[07:49] <manish> awesome_: one of the tabs would be Wired and enabled
[07:49] <awesome_> yes
[07:51] <manish> awesome_: Select the Connect automatically
[07:51] <zzillezz> i have a question: there is a newer kernel in my blocked updates list

[07:51] <awesome_> sorry, where is that?
[07:52] <awesome_> do i have to go add first or somethign?
[07:52] <zzillezz> because now, update manager always shows 'there a 4 new updates'
[07:52] <awesome_> oh wait i see now
[07:53] <manish> awesome_: yah,. Add the DNS servers if any given by the ISP
[07:53] <manish> in the second tab
[07:53] <coz_> hey guys how to I get images to view as thumbnails in    dolphin?
[07:53] <awesome_> as far as i know my isp hasn't given me dns servers
[07:55] <manish> awesome_: ok.. then may be your modem is already configured by the ISP
[07:55] <awesome_> yeah, probably. under xp i didn't have to enter anythign of this kind
[07:56] <manish> awesome_: I think we are done. apply the connection

[08:28] <iojaiosdj_> I'm using latest kubuntu, I hear the sounds when system starts, but I can't hear sound from application like mplayer or Amarok. Where I can look for a problem ? (yes, I have adjusted volume levels with alsamixer)
[08:29] <agata> you mean you cannot listen mp3's?
[08:29] <iojaiosdj_> yes
[08:30] <iojaiosdj_> even the network streams
[08:30] <iojaiosdj_> like radio, difm or bassdrive
[08:30] <agata> then you need to install the codecs for mp3 i think
[08:30] <agata> that was in medibuntu give me a second and i will find the link
[08:31] <iojaiosdj_> ok, thank you
[08:32] <agata> unless something has changed in this release https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu that should be the answer
[08:34] <agata> the name of the package you want to install is w32codecs

[09:22] <agata> dunno what happened but thank you
[09:22] <Mamarok> you are using pulseaudio I guess
[09:22] <agata> hmm the default, i did not touch anything there
[09:24] <agata> now i need to find how to download podcasts...
[09:29] <Mamarok> agata: what Amarok version do you have?
[09:30] <agata> 2
[09:31] <agata> its amarok 2, i found where to add the feed  but does not seem to  be getting all of them
[09:31] <Mamarok> well, there are at least 4 different 2 versions :)
[09:31] <Mamarok> which one exactly?
[09:31] <agata> 2.0.2 that one
[09:31] <Mamarok> then you should upgrade to Amarok 2.1, it's in the jaunty-backports
[09:32] <Mamarok> just be careful, as the backports contain a lot of stuff, you need to select manually if you don't want all the other pacakges
[09:33] <agata> i see... apparently it's gonna be a long day in front of the computer today :p too many things to do
[09:33] <Mamarok> well, as I said, you don't have to install all those packages if you don't need them
[09:34] <agata> i normally used a program called rythmbox music player for the podcast but i cannot seem to find it anymore... do you know where should it be Mamarok ?
[09:36] <Mamarok> I don't know Rythmbox, I only use Amarok :)

[13:22] <_blaj> and configured kmail as best as i can
[13:22] <_blaj> i can get emails but cannot send them
[13:22] <_blaj> i get a large message
[13:22] <_blaj> Your SMTP server does not support The server responded: "5.7.0 authentication failed".
[13:22] <_blaj> that is a part of it
[13:23] <Unksi> ok, so you have misconfigured your smtp server
[13:23] <Unksi> make sure you have the ports/addresses etc set up right as your isp has informed you
[13:23] <_blaj> Unksi: i never setup a server
[13:23] <_blaj> that is correct
[13:24] <Unksi> yeah, but your isp has, and you have to give kmail details how to connect to that
[13:24] <_blaj> it always talks about some transport
[13:26] <Unksi> hmm, did you press the button to check what the server supports? that usually shows up quite well if it works or not
[13:26] <Unksi> and greys out the options that wont work
[13:27] <Mamarok> _blaj: well, I tried to help and the you were suddenly gone...
[13:27] <_blaj> Unksi: i did that, nothing changed
[13:28] <Unksi> ok

[13:30] <Unksi> how did it work shortly, were you able to send mail?
[13:30] <_blaj> only once that i dont know how
[13:30] <Unksi> ok
[13:35] <_blaj> any luck on finding a solution Unksi
[13:35] <_blaj> ??
[13:38] <Unksi> _blaj: it sounds quite weird.. it could be a problem with the server itself too
[13:38] <Unksi> have you had any similar error with other mail clients before?
[13:38] <_blaj> no
[13:39] <_blaj> i was using outlook express (MS Windows)
[13:39] <_blaj> worked fine there
[13:39] <Unksi> ok
[13:39] <_blaj> Unksi: what is transport?
[13:40] <Unksi> i think it means the smtp server by transport
[13:41] <Unksi> i have no idea how to fix that, it does sound some kind of problem with configuration though
[13:43] <Mamarok> _blaj: and you are sure you have no typo in the settings?
[13:43] <_blaj> Mamarok: where do u mean
[13:43] <_blaj> ??
[13:44] <Mamarok> _blaj: in the Kmail settings, where you set the transmisison mode for sending, make sure you have no typo there
[13:45] <_blaj> Mamarok: in the message property?
[13:47] <Mamarok> _blaj: no, the kmail settings where you set the smtp server
[13:49] <_blaj> Mamarik: ok Im now in in the Transport: SMTP Settings there is nothing that says typo
[13:51] <_blaj> Mamarok: ok Im now in in the Transport: SMTP Settings there is nothing that says typo

[14:47] <BluesKaj> good day folks
[14:48] <JuhazOne> yo
[14:48] <JuhazOne> i installed the latest kubuntu a couple of days ago... the names of some files don't show up properly in kde
[14:49] <JuhazOne> they do in konsole, where i'm using iso-8859-1 as the charset
[14:49] <JuhazOne> but apparently kde uses utf-8. any way to change this?
[14:50] <Mamarok> JuhazOne: system settings ->Regional%Language
[14:50] <Mamarok> JuhazOne: but you should use UTF-8 whenever possible, iso 8859-1 is a very old standard, should get replaced with UTF everywhere
[14:51] <Mamarok> JuhazOne: so you better use UTF than ISO-8859
[14:51] <JuhazOne> i suppose so. it'd just take me some time to convert everything to utf-8
[14:51] <JuhazOne> and i couldn't find the option about charset in the regional settings :/
[14:55] <JuhazOne> Mamarok: where exactly is the charset selection in regional settings?
[14:56] <Mamarok> JuhazOne: the first item, set system language AFAIR
[14:57] <JuhazOne> hmmh. if it's there, it's not in any obvious place
[14:58] <Mamarok> let me see...
[14:59] <JuhazOne> it could be that it'd be less trouble to just convert all the file names..
[14:59] <JuhazOne> i wonder if i should script it myself..
[15:01] <Mamarok> can't find it myself, strange
[15:01] <Mamarok> still, you can change the locale with setlocale IIRC

[15:37] <Mamarok> Duke_: you need the java plugin then for your web browser
[15:37] <Mamarok> !java
[15:38] <ubottu> 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 or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper
[15:38] <Mamarok> Duke_: sun-java6-jre is what you are looking for
[15:41] <Duke_> hmmm thanks, but i have it already installed
[15:41] <Mamarok> Duke_: you need to go to the browser settings and give the path to the jre
[15:45] <Duke_> oh, after deactivation and activation of java in browsersettings... it works... good, thanks you

[16:16] <Dragnslcr> !yahoo | yelkram1
[16:16] <ubottu> yelkram1: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.
[16:16] <yelkram1> dragnslcr thanks for the info i will try that now
[16:17] <Dragnslcr> No problem
[16:20] <yelkram1> thanx dragnslcr changing the paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com worked for me
[16:20] <Dragnslcr> Yahoo's been upgrading their servers, apparently, and the protocol changed a bit
[16:21] <JuhazOne> i had a problem where kopete forgot my msn account
[16:21] <JuhazOne> it kept all the contacts though. then when i re-added the msn account those contacts showed up double
[16:23] <JuhazOne> somewhat annoying too that it's not recognizing the previous log files that were there. they exist, but most of my contacts' history is empty

=== R3DB0x is now known as C00LARR0w
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> wow quiet
[18:00] <Walex> alarm: you '/dev/dsp' device probably does not exist because the distro uses ALSA. You may want to install the ALSA-OSS compat module or rather tell VMware to use ALSA if it can.
[18:02] <alarm> Walex,  fixed. i closed applications using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p and let vmware use it
[18:02] <alarm> unfortunately i cannot have both sound in vmware and on my host system
[18:02] <Walex> alarm: you can if you tell VMware to use the 'dmix' based device.
[18:03] <alarm> which means ?
[18:03] <alarm> with dmix
[18:07] <Walex> alarm: 'dmix' is an ALSA lib plugin that allows sharing audio devices

[21:16] <libervisco> you should probably update :)
[21:16] <Dragnslcr> Serpardum- the program name is update-notifier-kde
[21:18] <borden> @walzmyn , guess u asked a back-up program, here is a promising one http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/
[21:18] <Serpardum> Okay, now it tells me 8 updates, but there are only 4 blocked. O.o
[21:19] <Serpardum> It says linux-headers-generic - 2.6y.28.11.15 (amd64) is blocked.  I have amd 64.  3 others like that. should I install them?
[21:20] <Serpardum> the linix-generic - 2.6.28.11.15 (amd64)  Complete Generic Linux kernel.  not sure.  Is teh kubuntu kernel different?
[21:20] <Dragnslcr> Serpardum- guess it's up to you. I've gone quite a while without rebooting for that new kernel, and I haven't noticed any issues
[21:20] <Serpardum> okay, let me install it.

[21:45] <trappist> 8.04 was an LTS release - its main purpose was to be less buggy.  9.04 steps into uncharted territory, adding new functionality that may not always work as expected.  so it's a tradeoff.
[21:46] <darlek2009> thanks, trappist. any good setup tutorials?
[21:47] <darlek2009> btw, a few problems I have with 9.04 is screen resolution being reset on boot and no sound on some youtube playback
