00:26.20 | adminka | yyc747: No. :D |
00:26.24 | yyc747 | because I want sound, but with native ALSA instead of arts |
00:26.29 | adminka | You can turn off sound system in kde like I did. |
00:26.30 | Renze | yyc747: just set arts to timeout after three seconds or so... |
00:26.42 | yyc747 | adminka: where is that option? |
00:26.56 | adminka | I turned off whole sound system in kde. |
00:26.57 | adminka | In Control Center of course. |
00:27.00 | adminka | Let me see where exactly. |
00:27.28 | adminka | Sound and multimedia --> Sound System |
00:27.30 | annma | yyc747: ALSA and arts are not the same thing |
00:27.37 | adminka | There is checkbox: Use sound system. |
00:27.41 | annma | you usually have both |
00:27.43 | adminka | So just uncheck it. |
00:27.52 | Oleg_ | aseigo_work: are you there? |
00:27.58 | Renze | then no KDE app will play sound |
00:28.28 | grahl04 | Renze: there are workarounds |
00:28.54 | Renze | grahl04: yes, setting arts timeout to 3 seconds worked well when I had a soundcard that didn't mix in hardware. |
00:29.12 | Renze | now it all just doesn't matter :) |
00:30.28 | adminka | Renze: Nope. |
00:30.33 | adminka | All kde apps works fine. |
00:30.44 | adminka | Even konqueror playes sounds in flash animations. |
00:30.48 | adminka | kaboodle etc. |
00:30.55 | aseigo_work | Oleg_: yeah.. i'm just busy... |
00:31.03 | adminka | If sound is correctly configured in the system all that stuff should work just fin. |
00:31.07 | adminka | Fine. |
00:31.09 | aseigo_work | Oleg_: and yes, you have to write an implementation for move() |
00:31.18 | grahl04 | grahl04: i meant you could f.e. use external players for system sounds like oogplay etc |
00:31.41 | yyc747 | annma: I know ALSA and arts aren't the same thing... I was under the impression that arts was created to fix problems with OSS |
00:31.43 | grahl04 | wups, not mzself, Renze |
00:31.50 | Oleg_ | aseigo_work: ok |
00:32.32 | adminka | All what I did is loading a module for my sound card. And all is working = yummie. |
00:32.39 | adminka | Without alsa etc soft. |

01:55.32 | Renze | old, yes |
01:56.10 | adminka | I don't want to be evil but none hacker asked if he is a hacker will say yes. ;> |
01:56.36 | overlord | why not? |
01:56.47 | overlord | unless hes black hat then theres nothing to hide |
01:57.03 | adminka | Well believe me. |
01:57.17 | adminka | And why not - ask some hacker. :)) |
01:57.19 | overlord | ahh |
01:57.41 | grepper | are we to accept the media's use of the word "hacker" then ? |
01:57.48 | Renze | the media is wrong |
01:57.52 | adminka | Nope. |
01:57.55 | overlord | mines kind of grayish with a slight blueishness, philosophically speaking |
01:57.57 | grepper | a hacker in linux/unix world is a compliment |
01:58.09 | Renze | yes, a hacker is a coder :) |
01:58.13 | adminka | For these guys from the TV a hacker is a script kiddie who brings down networks. |
01:58.17 | overlord | you can tell im not a hacker by my crappy english lol |
01:58.22 | adminka | And breaks into fbi db. |
01:58.54 | overlord | im a hacker in the sence of a coder, but i suck at cracking and similar activities |
01:58.55 | adminka | Oh god! I can run a sploit! I am so good 31337 h4x00r and hack da planet yay! |
01:59.00 | grepper | so lets not encourage that usage of the word then adminka :) If you mean "cracker" say cracker |
01:59.02 | adminka | This is hacker on the tv. |
01:59.07 | adminka | :D |
01:59.19 | adminka | grepper: No I meant script kiddie. |

01:59.45 | hondje | except with worse grammer |
02:00.00 | adminka | Renze: Yeah. Anyway in that bloody popular movie "Hackers" they are breaking into FBI from MS word. |
02:00.07 | grepper | hehe |
02:00.10 | adminka | And guys who made that movie thought no one will notice. |
02:00.10 | Renze | adminka: that movie blows goats |
02:00.12 | overlord | yes, 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 |
02:00.22 | adminka | Yes but people are getting insane. |
02:00.29 | grepper | while getting a blow job |
02:00.35 | adminka | I got kicked out of the room when my family were watching it. |
02:00.56 | overlord | lol, i didnt notice, im not the kind of geek who gets pissed off about details that dont matter |
02:00.57 | adminka | overlord: Swordfish - |
02:01.01 | adminka | LOL. |

02:01.36 | overlord | i have swardfish on dvd, i realy want that cubic worm authoring program he had :P |
02:01.36 | adminka | They should read some Eric S. Raymond stuff. |
02:01.38 | Renze | mmm... b(oYo)bies |
02:02.13 | adminka | But no one does it because it is so boring and not sells well to stupid people for who running ms word is hacking. ;) |
02:03.08 | adminka | Hacking on the TV is one of things on earth that really can make me mad. ;> |
02:03.09 | hondje | It'd make a terribly boring movie |
02:03.16 | overlord | dont put down word, i got out of many a homeword assignment in school using vbscript! |
02:03.36 | adminka | hondje: Well in matrix they use real unix, but there is also that green code and stuff. |
02:03.48 | adminka | So it is well packed unix. |
02:04.02 | overlord | nothing wrong with green code |
02:04.12 | adminka | overlord: In Poland we have basic and pascal on the UNIVERSITY STUDIES. |
02:04.24 | overlord | odd that the networks of the machines would be sending data defining where the streams drop from |
02:04.37 | overlord | we have pascal too here |
02:04.50 | adminka | Ehehe. I wonder what for. |

02:49.27 | Oleg_ | canllaith: are your pkg-config and autoconf installed in the same prefix? |
02:49.30 | illogic-al | w/ emu10k1x support |
02:49.51 | canllaith | hjs: uh.. .why don't you go and ask in #debian about that? |
02:50.16 | hjs | canllaith: did that. they say anything in kde.org is none of their business |
02:50.26 | adminka | hjs: I'm not flaming, really, but Debian = old stuff. |
02:50.40 | adminka | If you want new stuff on debian you have to compile it yourself. |
02:51.02 | adminka | This is why I personally think debian is the one distro which REALLY SUCKS. |
02:51.12 | hjs | adminka: stop trolling |
02:51.14 | adminka | All others are alot bettr updated. |
02:51.19 | adminka | I am not trolling. |
02:51.24 | hondje | All the others have a different purpose |
02:51.28 | volty | what's with xchat, doesn't depend anymore on gtk? |
02:51.43 | adminka | This 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. |
02:52.07 | volty | maybe because debian judged kde.3.1 unstable |
02:52.15 | illogic-al | volty: lmao |
02:52.17 | canllaith | hjs: How on earth would we know? I have no idea aboutwhat version of glibc you're using |
02:52.23 | Renze | adminka: debian sees stability as more important than keeping up with the versions... some people like that (not me, but...) |
02:52.32 | adminka | Well so compare version on slackware current, and debian. |
02:52.37 | adminka | So you will see. |
02:52.38 | hjs | adminka: *what* is the answer? you made some circular arguments: software in debian is old because it's old |
02:52.58 | canllaith | hjs: Debian woody is designed for servers. Tried, true *stable* software. |
02:52.59 | hondje | Maybe old in Woody, Sid has all that stuff |
02:53.04 | adminka | Ah damn it is not distro flame war. |
02:53.10 | canllaith | Debian's view of 'Stable' is - 'has been stable for the last 5 years' |
02:53.17 | canllaith | That's just the way it is, that is the purpose of it's distro. |
02:53.23 | hjs | canllaith: well, kde does provide debian packages specifically for woody, so I figured #kde is actually the right place to ask |
02:53.38 | adminka | Well, stable doesn't mean no upgrades. But they are not even aplying patches. |
02:53.39 | hondje | hjs: Actually, there is a #debian-kde too :) |
02:53.48 | hondje | adminka: That's not true |
02:53.50 | canllaith | hjs: Actually those are contributed from elsewhere I believe |
02:53.53 | grepper | hjs: those packages are not kde packages, they are 3rd party |
02:54.02 | adminka | hondje: Well unfortunately this is what I saw. |
02:54.17 | volty | i remember the chief of debian pushing away from kde repeatedly |
02:54.19 | adminka | Of course I had gnome 1.4 and similar old stuff on my comp but always patched. |
02:55.20 | hjs | grepper: 2nd being debian? anyway I've asked some supposedly simple questions in 3 channels (debian, debian-kde, kde). why no answers? |
02:55.38 | canllaith | hjs: You would have to ask the people who package for woody. They would be the only ones who know. |
02:55.44 | grepper | hjs: ask me a question |
02:56.00 | adminka | Yes, what was the question? |
02:56.02 | grepper | woody's kde is 2.2.x |
02:56.08 | adminka | Oh! |
02:56.08 | grepper | that will not change |
02:56.25 | adminka | I will better shut up. :) |
02:56.36 | grepper | it started out as 2.2.x and it is still 2.2.x and will always be 2.2.x |
02:56.46 | grepper | that is the nature of debian "stable" |
02:57.02 | grepper | anything you add is a backport by a 3rd party |
02:57.11 | grepper | that is not officially supported |
02:57.17 | adminka | kreadconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
02:57.19 | adminka | Oups. |
02:57.28 | hjs | grepper: 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 |
02:57.47 | hondje | hjs: Because no one wanted the hastle of making it available |
02:58.06 | hondje | Why KDE puts stuff in the wrong place is a good question though |
02:58.07 | grepper | hjs: no, it can be backported if you want to try |
02:58.20 | grepper | but I would not bother |
02:59.02 | hjs | grepper: so I shouldn't have any problems just compiling from sources on woody? |
02:59.41 | *** join/#kde volty_ (~volty@adsl-ull-165-53.42-151.net24.it) |
02:59.41 | grepper | hjs: if you don't know kde or debian very well, yes, you will have *many* problems |
02:59.58 | grepper | I liked the challenge at the time |
03:00.14 | Oleg_ | ok, this is the only thing that I found on the internet that is related to my configure error of xcompmgr: |
03:00.34 | Oleg_ | pkg-config inclues some autoconf macros, but if pkg-config and autoconf |
03:00.34 | Oleg_ | are installed in different prefixes, autoconf won't find the pkg-config |
03:00.34 | Oleg_ | macro file. |
03:00.34 | Oleg_ | -keith |
03:00.51 | adminka | hjs: If it has old glibc you will have problems. |
03:00.56 | hjs | grepper: (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 ? |
03:00.58 | adminka | I don't remember glibc version in debian. |
03:01.28 | grepper | hjs: wrong versions of packages |
03:01.31 | Oleg_ | so, adminka and canllaith: are your pkg-config and autoconf installed in different prefixes? |
03:01.39 | canllaith | Oleg_: I don't care. :) |
03:01.41 | adminka | Oleg_: No. |
03:01.48 | adminka | All in /usr/ |
03:01.52 | grepper | hjs: that is backporting, no matter what you care to call it |
03:02.09 | grepper | I had to backport many other packages besides kde, dependancies etc |
03:02.38 | hjs | grepper: I see. thanks |
03:02.42 | adminka | Well usually even if you success to compile software on old glibc you get segfaults and problems. |
03:02.50 | adminka | I know it from my experience. |
03:04.00 | grepper | adminka: things worked out ok, but I dont want to repeat the experience, thanks :) |
03:04.02 | canllaith | Can always upgrade glibc :) |
03:04.07 | grepper | it was time consuming |
03:04.21 | grepper | it was fine with my libc6 |
03:05.02 | adminka | grepper: As you wish. Mr sarcastic. ;-) |
03:05.53 | adminka | Anyway I have kde 3.3.1 yay! |
