<0> yesI shall do that
<1> interesting they changed the name
<1> but as i remember it was annoying having to look for "linux-" and "kernel-"
<2> Could anyone possibly help with my problem?
<1> so now its all under linux-
<3> bonez: the package names changed since 2.6.something
<4> aah ok .. well its good to know that
<4> guess its since 2.6.11
<5> skenmy: what's the problem
<2> Hi IdleOne
<2> I'm having a lot of trouble copying data from a DVD to my home directory. It hangs for about 5 minutes on random files, then gives an I/O Error and asks to Skip, Cancel, or Retry. The files are not always the same. Any ideas on how I can get this data onto my HDD?
<6> How do I install the KDE desktop environment in Ubuntu? Is there a single meta package that pulls in everything else?
<2> If it makes any difference, it is a DVD-RW
<1> kubuntu-desktop
<2> ardchoille, check out kubuntu
<5> ardchoille: sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop



<7> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
<6> skenmy, IdleOne: thank you.
<6> :)
<8> ardchoille: better sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
<5> skenmy: sorry dude I dont know what would cause that
<8> ardchoille: so if you do not like it you can use the same command to remove it by sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop
<9> skenmy, I/O errors are not good.. i guess you should check the DVD-RW for errors..
<6> farous: cool, that does make it much easier
<8> :)
<7> farous, is aptitude purge better that apt-get remove?
<8> colm: for meta packages with apt-get remove you need to remove each dependent package by hand
<3> colm: aptitude purge == apt-get remove --purge
<8> colm: aptitude take care of that automatically
<7> cool, didn't know that. he won't remove it anyway! but it's good to know hx
<10> hi...i need info about a package release...
<8> colm: so aptitude will remove the packages and the automatically installed dependencies if not used by other packages
<8> colm: :)
<9> farous, apt-get remove does that also.. the 'purge' part just removes all the configuration files as well
<8> wdh: not automatically installed depnedent packages
<8> wdh try them both
<9> farous, you are right.. i misread what you typed :)
<10> farous: there are a command in apt to show packages that must be updated?
<10> like synaptic or aptitude does...
<10> i mean..in command-line...
<2> wdh -> what confuses me is that I can access the data on the DVD-RW
<2> just cant copy it off
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, "sudo apt-get upgrade -s"
<7> folks, short of dapper dist-upgrade, what's the easiest way to get the latest (i.e. including CYMK support) version of Krita installed on Breezy?
<10> nice... 8)
<11> anyone know of an application that will stream live tv like winamp for windows?
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, where 's' stands for 'simulate'
<8> Aragorn_Guardian: i mainly use aptitude so sorry do not know check this site though about deb package management http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html
<10> i need info about the porstgres ckage of ubuntu...
<10> :(
<10> farous: ok...
<12> hello #ubuntu. A quick question: can I have ubuntu in different languages per user, on the same system? how would I set this up?
<10> wdh: thanks... is that!
<8> you will fnd it quite helpfull :)
<10> farous: yeah...i like it...the tools are amazing...
<8> and it sums it all up :)
<10> i am doing a shell script with that info...
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, "apt-cache show postgresql" will give you some info :)
<10> wdh: i need know why it is not upgraded... :(...is getting too old...
<13> hi all
<14> hi crazy one
<10> wdh: postgres in ubuntu is in 7.4.7...is beeing unusefull.....stable versionb from postgres is 8.1
<11> anyone know of an application that will stream live tv like winamp for windows?
<10> wdh: need know why and what can I do...
<7> vdrab, System Menu > Language Selector
<13> I have Windows XP Pro, and installed Ubuntu as a virtual machine on vmware. the vm bridge networking dont seem to work as I cant access the net with ubuntu, any ideas what could be up?
<15> steve60: xmms i think
<3> steve60: vls should do it
<11> gnomefreak, i got streamtuner is there an app like this but for tv though
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, ubuntu releases a new version every six months.. after a release it doesnt take any non-securityrelated updates.. so new versions of packages go into the next version of ubuntu..
<12> col: yes, I have all the necessary languages installed, but it seems changing the default is system-wide... I want user X to have language A and user Y to have language B
<15> tv i dont know about :(
<10> wdh: I am with ubuntu 5.04 here
<5> colm: user language is kept in the user profile right? so i would think that each user could have is own language setup :/ but Im not sure
<8> wdh just to add unless it is ported in the backports project :)
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, there seems to be a postgresql-8.0 package though :)
<9> so install that



<13> anybody?
<10> nice... 8)....gonna see
<16> Hi! I'm on Ubuntu 5.10. I wish to change the host name of my computer. I did a "hostname <myhostname>" as well as I made an entry in /etc/network/interfaces. I also verified that the GUI System->Admin-> Networking show the host name correctly. I have rebooted my computer. But the netowrk does not detect the new name. It detects the old name. What have I missed ?
<7> vdrab, I've not actually tried this, but the languge _should_ be a user selection. What is going wrong?
<10> wdh: what sources can i safelly put here in synaptic to get those packages, more recents
<10> in sources.list
<12> colm: I probably don't know where to look.
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, none.. just use main, universe and multiverse..
<15> ubotu tell Aragorn_Guardian about easysource
<11> how do i install a .run file
<12> keep running into admin permission troubles, I don't want to make the new user a su, but can't seem to change the language otherwise...
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, is there a specific reason why you prefer 8.1 over 8.0.3?
<7> vdrab - just tested it. It works ok on Breezy w/ Gnome. Second user logged in set to french. This user = english. Login Screen/new users = english
<15> steve60: sh file.run
<11> gnomefreak, thx
<15> yw
<10> yes...things in postgres...:/ new relases...maybe 8.0 will be nice...
<12> colm: oh really.. ? : / where do you set language for *this* user?
<13> can somebody tell me what I should check to see why my ubuntu os cannot access the net pls
<10> i have 7.4 here... 8.0 may works...gonna read about
<11> im just downloading ID's free FPS game
<10> well...nice...
<10> wdh: thanks by help
<7> vdrab, System Menu > Language Selector
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, just install 8.0 :) you probably wont miss a thing..
<10> wdh: in true....most recents versions are a great adventure...but i really prefer that the comunity make alll tests needed before install in a production machine...
<12> colm: I have english and japanese installed there, but I can't see where to ***ign which language to which user
<10> wdh: yes...i think will be nice.. 8)
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, just installing a new version because it's 'new', is a good way to get your system unstable :)
<10> wdh: yeah...i know...hehehehe
<12> it only says "languages available to people on this system"
<10> thats why i dont compile nothing more..hehehehe
<9> Aragorn_Guardian, it'll probably be included into ubuntu 6.04 once it's released (april)
<10> niiiiiice
<10> !!!!
<17> Aragorn_Guardian: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<18> im trying to get airsnort to log to a file does anyone have any recommendations on this like when i save a file or log to a file i open it back up it has no data??
<12> colm: so, I want to keep the default english, but then where does the japanese go?
<10> new release...i really forgot...hehehehe
<10> this release cicle is amazing...hehehehe
<10> wdh: well...thanks again...gonna read about...thanks a lot!
<15> dapper will have version 8.1
<10> gnomefreak: nice...

<5> !samba
<17> hmm... samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

<4> question .. is it possible to have reiser and ext3 on a system i currently have a full ext3 setup but i am going to build a lvm on raid and i heard that reiser is better for **** a setup (online resizing)
<4> such*
<20> how to install single font seperately?
<9> bonez, is it.. i think the spellingerror you made was actually right :P reiser can be quite good to **** up a system when resizing..
<21> bonez: I'd advise against using reiserfs unless you have regular backups. It's a very fast filesystem, but it's *much* more likely to develop corruption and the recovery tools are poor.
<21> It's *excellent* for a cheap news filesystem, though.
<9> bonez, but yes.. you can use as many filesystems as you wish..
<20> installing a single font help
<22> ubotu: tell petr about fonts
<4> hmm so the overall consensus is no reiser ..
<12> colm: well, thanks for trying.
<21> bonez: See if it meets your needs first. I'd just advise against trusting it for, say, root or important files.
<21> again, if you have backups of everything...
<20> jasonr:
<20> i know but its confusing
<22> petr: what kind of font is it
<23> bonez, they're just slapping a nice big "handle with care" sticker on it for you ;)
<20> i wana instal 1 font
<20> jasonr: ttf file
<21> bonez: (For instance, I just lost a week of my time recovering a reiserfs filesystem for work - ended up having to move an 800 gig filesystem image to a different computer, compile later reiserfs tools and then wait three days for the fsck to finish)
<24> ouch
<4> root is on ext3 (the raid setup is a TB raid 5 ) .. i red somewhere that reiser as a filesystem also uses less space (?)
<4> hmm
<4> ok.......
<25> someone have
