00:03.20Oleg_They say kde is slow even on a 1 Ghz machine
00:04.52Oleg_I don't know why it is considered cool to bash kde
00:05.37bryanthey do?

00:07.19Oleg_annma: I'm just not sure how they define slow and fast
00:07.43Oleg_annma: if for them 3 seconds is slow, then kde is slow
00:07.48annmaSTOP it
00:07.55Oleg_annma: but if 3 second is fast, kde is fast
00:07.56Oleg_ok

00:13.26nmatrix_9is there any possiblity to recover anything in a ext3 filesystem?
00:13.35annmaillogic-al: I don't :>
00:13.51Oleg_and only one person responded me anyway

00:13.53fred87oleg_, that doesn't mean "ask in #kde"
00:13.59Renzenmatrix_9: not after you've left the filesystem mounted so long
00:14.10annmanmatrix_9: same for you, you should ask your distro

00:17.50illogic-althat and the integrated grep
00:17.59illogic-alwell, the grep more than anything :-)
00:18.52annmayeah, i am tired of grepping in konsole
00:18.54Oleg_I'm playing ksirtet
00:19.00annmagrep eats some resources
00:19.23annmaalthought grep is the devel Ace of Spades
00:19.43Renzesed is kinda handy too
00:20.44annmaI made my first Perl script yesterday
00:20.50Renzeooooo
00:20.52adminkaGrep, sed and awk are your friends.
00:21.01Renzeah yes, awk too
00:21.32Renzebut then perl kinda grew out of sed and awk...
00:21.43Renzebut it's become MUCH bigger and more complex
00:21.53adminkaYou know what is sucky in perl apps?
00:22.12adminkaEverytime I will upgrade perl I have to upgrade ALL PERL APPS!
00:23.03adminkaAnd you have to upgrade perl very offten because it is buggy.

00:24.27yyc747is there a way to instruct kde to not use arts?  I use a program that says arts causes problems for it
00:24.40Oleg_aseigo_work: Move is there when I right-click on a taskbar button, but it doesn't do anything
00:25.30Oleg_aseigo_work: I have to write something in { } for void move()?

00:26.01annmakiss the art daemon
00:26.05annma;)
00:26.20adminkayyc747: No. :D
00:26.24yyc747because I want sound, but with native ALSA instead of arts
00:26.29adminkaYou can turn off sound system in kde like I did.
00:26.30Renzeyyc747: just set arts to timeout after three seconds or so...
00:26.42yyc747adminka: where is that option?
00:26.56adminkaI turned off whole sound system in kde.
00:26.57adminkaIn Control Center of course.
00:27.00adminkaLet me see where exactly.
00:27.28adminkaSound and multimedia --> Sound System
00:27.30annmayyc747: ALSA and arts are not the same thing
00:27.37adminkaThere is checkbox: Use sound system.
00:27.41annmayou usually have both
00:27.43adminkaSo just uncheck it.
00:27.52Oleg_aseigo_work: are you there?
00:27.58Renzethen no KDE app will play sound
00:28.28grahl04Renze: there are workarounds
00:28.54Renzegrahl04: yes, setting arts timeout to 3 seconds worked well when I had a soundcard that didn't mix in hardware.
00:29.12Renzenow it all just doesn't matter :)
00:30.28adminkaRenze: Nope.
00:30.33adminkaAll kde apps works fine.
00:30.44adminkaEven konqueror playes sounds in flash animations.
00:30.48adminkakaboodle etc.
00:30.55aseigo_workOleg_: yeah.. i'm just busy...
00:31.03adminkaIf sound is correctly configured in the system all that stuff should work just fin.
00:31.07adminkaFine.
00:31.09aseigo_workOleg_: and yes, you have to write an implementation for move()
00:31.18grahl04grahl04: i meant you could f.e. use external players for system sounds like oogplay etc
00:31.41yyc747annma: I know ALSA and arts aren't the same thing... I was under the impression that arts was created to fix problems with OSS
00:31.43grahl04wups, not mzself, Renze
00:31.50Oleg_aseigo_work: ok
00:32.32adminkaAll what I did is loading a module for my sound card. And all is working = yummie.
00:32.39adminkaWithout alsa etc soft.
00:33.15yyc747will kde-based sound applications not work if arts is disabled?
00:33.34annmayyc747: what kde version do you have?
00:33.51adminkayyc747: It will work!
00:34.02Renzethey don't work in 3.3.0
00:34.03adminkaTell me an example of app which will not work when arts is killed?
00:34.10RenzeamaroK

00:35.51aseigo_workoops, he's gone. ha
00:35.52Renzeadminka: worked a treat on my old soundblaster
00:36.01yyc747Renze: will the started artsd be used only for noatun?
00:36.15Renzeyyc747: no idea... I keep artsd running
00:36.16grahl04annma: could be, but amarok 1.1.1 is a giant leap anyhow
00:36.18adminkaRenze: Agreed. And also using soundblaster.
00:36.28annmagrahl04: yes

00:56.31yyc747I thought there might be a good reason to use noatun
00:56.37yyc747what would you guys suggest for video?
00:56.49adminkaI am using xmms. It is very good program.
00:56.51aseigo_workxmms' interface is bullocks and their playlist sucks ass
00:56.53adminkaVery handy.
00:57.12adminkaI like their playlist. :P
00:57.16aseigo_workamaroK is nicer for that sort of app IMHO.. but still i prefer the clean "get out of my way!"-ness of juk
00:57.32aseigo_workadminka: do they have an inline search yet?
00:57.34adminkaRenze: So what you are using to listen music if not xmms and noatun?

00:58.32aseigo_workadminka: and that was a serious question, actually: does xmms have an inline searchbar in their playlist y et?
00:58.33yyc747I like the look of kaffeine... xine is, IMO, the best media player, and from what I can understand, kaffeine is just a kde frontend to it

01:02.10illogic-alI use juK to do mass tagging, fire up amaroK and play to my heart's content
01:06.22yyc747is there any reason why, as kde starts up, it would turn all the mixer settings down to zero?
01:06.26illogic-alI dare not open amarok though
01:06.31illogic-alX might crash

01:57.48Renzethe media is wrong
01:57.52adminkaNope.
01:57.55overlordmines kind of grayish with a slight blueishness, philosophically speaking
01:57.57greppera hacker in linux/unix world is a compliment
01:58.09Renzeyes, a hacker is a coder :)
01:58.13adminkaFor these guys from the TV a hacker is a script kiddie who brings down networks.
01:58.17overlordyou can tell im not a hacker by my crappy english lol
01:58.22adminkaAnd breaks into fbi db.
01:58.54overlordim a hacker in the sence of a coder, but i suck at cracking and similar activities
01:58.55adminkaOh god! I can run a sploit! I am so good 31337 h4x00r and hack da planet yay!
01:59.00grepperso lets not encourage that  usage of the word then adminka :)  If you mean "cracker" say cracker
01:59.02adminkaThis is hacker on the tv.

01:59.45hondjeexcept with worse grammer
02:00.00adminkaRenze: Yeah. Anyway in that bloody popular movie "Hackers" they are breaking into FBI from MS word.
02:00.07grepperhehe
02:00.10adminkaAnd guys who made that movie thought no one will notice.
02:00.10Renzeadminka: that movie blows goats
02:00.12overlordyes, a hacker on tv and movies is someone who works with 3d graphics that somehow have something to do with computer systems, and can break in to systems that he hasnt seen before in 60 secconds
02:00.22adminkaYes but people are getting insane.
02:00.29grepperwhile getting a blow job
02:00.35adminkaI got kicked out of the room when my family were watching it.

02:02.13adminkaBut no one does it because it is so boring and not sells well to stupid people for who running ms word is hacking. ;)
02:03.08adminkaHacking on the TV is one of things on earth that really can make me mad. ;>
02:03.09hondjeIt'd make a terribly boring movie

02:04.02overlordnothing wrong with green code

02:04.24overlordodd that the networks of the machines would be sending data defining where the streams drop from
02:04.37overlordwe have pascal too here

02:51.19adminkaI am not trolling.
02:51.24hondjeAll the others have a different purpose
02:51.28voltywhat's with xchat, doesn't depend anymore on gtk?
02:51.43adminkaThis is an answer for the question why in debian there are no kde 3.1 and in other distros is even 3.3.1 available.
02:52.07voltymaybe because debian judged kde.3.1 unstable
02:52.15illogic-alvolty: lmao
02:52.17canllaithhjs: How on earth would we know? I have no idea aboutwhat version of glibc you're using
02:52.23Renzeadminka: debian sees stability as more important than keeping up with the versions... some people like that (not me, but...)
02:52.32adminkaWell so compare version on slackware current, and debian.
02:52.37adminkaSo you will see.
02:52.38hjsadminka: *what* is the answer? you made some circular arguments: software in debian is old because it's old
02:52.58canllaithhjs: Debian woody is designed for servers. Tried, true *stable* software.
02:52.59hondjeMaybe old in Woody, Sid has all that stuff
02:53.04adminkaAh damn it is not distro flame war.
02:53.10canllaithDebian's view of 'Stable' is - 'has been stable for the last 5 years'
02:53.17canllaithThat's just the way it is, that is the purpose of it's distro.
02:53.23hjscanllaith: well, kde does provide debian packages specifically for woody, so I figured #kde is actually the right place to ask
02:53.38adminkaWell, stable doesn't mean no upgrades. But they are not even aplying patches.
02:53.39hondjehjs: Actually, there is a #debian-kde too :)
02:53.48hondjeadminka: That's not true
02:53.50canllaithhjs: Actually those are contributed from elsewhere I believe
02:53.53grepperhjs: those packages are not kde packages, they are 3rd party
02:54.02adminkahondje: Well unfortunately this is what I saw.
02:54.17voltyi remember the chief of debian pushing away from kde repeatedly
02:54.19adminkaOf course I had gnome 1.4 and similar old stuff on my comp but always patched.
02:55.20hjsgrepper: 2nd being debian? anyway I've asked some supposedly simple questions in 3 channels (debian, debian-kde, kde). why no answers?
02:55.38canllaithhjs: You would have to ask the people who package for woody. They would be the only ones who know.
02:55.44grepperhjs: ask me a question
02:56.00adminkaYes, what was the question?
02:56.02grepperwoody's kde is 2.2.x
02:56.08adminkaOh!
02:56.08grepperthat will not change
02:56.25adminkaI will better shut up. :)
02:56.36grepperit started out as 2.2.x and it is still 2.2.x and will always be 2.2.x
02:56.46grepperthat is the nature of debian "stable"
02:57.02grepperanything you add is a backport by a 3rd party
02:57.11grepperthat is not officially supported
02:57.17adminkakreadconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
02:57.19adminkaOups.
02:57.28hjsgrepper: is there a fundamental reason why KDE3.3.1 is not available for woody? is it impossible to compile (incompatibility with libc or something) ? and why packages versioned 3.2.2 are in http://download.kde.org/stable/3.3.1
02:57.47hondjehjs: Because no one wanted the hastle of making it available
02:58.06hondjeWhy KDE puts stuff in the wrong place is a good question though
02:58.07grepperhjs: no, it can be backported if you want to try
02:58.20grepperbut I would not bother
02:59.02hjsgrepper: so I shouldn't have any problems just compiling from sources on woody?

02:59.41grepperhjs: if you don't know kde or debian very well, yes, you will have *many* problems
02:59.58grepperI liked the challenge at the time
03:00.14Oleg_ok, this is the only thing that I found on the internet that is related to my configure error of xcompmgr:
03:00.34Oleg_pkg-config inclues some autoconf macros, but if pkg-config and autoconf
03:00.34Oleg_are installed in different prefixes, autoconf won't find the pkg-config
03:00.34Oleg_macro file.
03:00.34Oleg_-keith
03:00.51adminkahjs: If it has old glibc you will have problems.
03:00.56hjsgrepper: (I'm not talking about backporting - I do NOT know how to package for debian, as a matter of fact). Just compiling from sources (like regular UNIX users). What kind of problems would I encounter ?
03:00.58adminkaI don't remember glibc version in debian.
03:01.28grepperhjs: wrong versions of packages
03:01.31Oleg_so, adminka and canllaith: are your pkg-config and autoconf installed in different prefixes?
03:01.39canllaithOleg_: I don't care. :)
03:01.41adminkaOleg_: No.
03:01.48adminkaAll in /usr/
03:01.52grepperhjs: that is backporting, no matter what you care to call it
03:02.09grepperI had to backport many other packages besides kde, dependancies etc
03:02.38hjsgrepper: I see. thanks
03:02.42adminkaWell usually even if you success to compile software on old glibc you get segfaults and problems.
03:02.50adminkaI know it from my experience.
03:04.00grepperadminka: things worked out ok, but I dont want to repeat the experience, thanks :)
03:04.02canllaithCan always upgrade glibc :)
03:04.07grepperit was time consuming
03:04.21grepperit was fine with my libc6
03:05.02adminkagrepper: As you wish. Mr sarcastic. ;-)
03:05.53adminkaAnyway I have kde 3.3.1 yay!
