billybobo231ScottG whats up?00:00
ScottyScottG: What's the problem?00:00
ScottyHehe.00:00
ScottGGot home from work, wife tells me she can only get 640X480 on our Kubuntu 7.10 64 bit PC.00:07
ScottGI ran the reconfigure X command (don't recall it all) and got my 1280X1024 back but no 3D.. now when I install Nvidia restricted drivers it breaks X again.00:07
agoreckiYou might try deleting Xorg's configuration file: the Xorg server should automatically choose the best settings for your hardware00:12
MGalaxyScotty: ardchoille: can u PLZ suggest me an alternative for KDE Menu applet ?00:12
ScottGI'll give it a try00:12
ardchoilleMGalaxy: kbfx is the only thing I can recommend: sudo apt-get install kbfx00:13
nosrednaekimtry kickoff00:13
ardchoilleMGalaxy: And you might also be interested in the kubuntu-artwork-kbfx package00:13
ScottyMGalaxy, as said, kbfx and kickoff are options and truthfully the only two I know of. I prefer kbfx, but they're both worth a try.00:14
MGalaxythx00:14
mahasamootI just installed winXP into a QEMU/KVM.  There were a lot of compicated instructions about how to set up networking... but windows can already reach the web.  So now I just need to reach windows from Kubuntu.  I'm installing 2xAppilcation server on windows and I want to connect to it with krdc... but I don't know what networking options to tell krdc?00:15
Weasel[DK]billybobo231,you are right about the kdesudo as replacement for kdesu, but it not compatible yet, it can be resolved for now bye executing: sudo ln -s -f /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib /usr/bin/kdesu00:15
Weasel[DK]billybobo231, thanks for the hint00:16
nosrednaekim!VNC00:16
ubotuVNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX00:16

intelikeyinteresting turn of events.  i loaded linux on this lappy.    sent it home with it's owner.    in six months they bring it back(haven't even looked at it yet) wanting me to do something else to it.    and it wont boot.   can't mount the root fs.    so i badblocks'd the hd   no bad blocks found.   i cat zero to it and reinstall linux.     did that yesterday.  today it wont boot.    so i boot a live cd chroot into it and upgrad00:24
intelikeybut i'll bet dollars against doughnut holes that tomarrow it wont boot again.00:24
intelikeyand i can't find a reason for it.00:25
agoreckiCan you format the drive using the live cd?00:26
intelikeyof course00:26
intelikeylike i said i badblocks/cat zero to/reinstalled.    so i had to format(creat an fs some place) to install...00:27
intelikeyi'm not a beginner ya know.00:27
agoreckiI apologize, I misunderstood you. If you can format it and mount it on the live cd, there should not be a problem mounting it without one. What error message did the system provide when it was not able to mount the partition?00:28
intelikeyagorecki right.  but there was.   i mounted the old root fs before i did anything else just to see if someone had hosed something.00:29
intelikeyonly the booting kernel couldn't mount the root fs and would panic.00:29
greeghi00:30
greegim having trouble installing a package. im running the version prior to gutsy.  http://rafb.net/p/hYBuGw49.html00:30
intelikeysame thing today.   the booting kernel would panic with can't mount root fs      and it wasn't an address issue.   it was booting fine when i shut it down yesterday.  just like it is now.00:31
ardchoillegreeg: What are you trying to install?00:31
ardchoillegreeg: The GNU common lisp compiler?00:31
greeggcl, lisp interpreter.00:31
gsprgreeg: Are you trying to install GCL? Isn't there a Feisty package for that?00:31
greegmy linux box is not connected to the internet00:31
ardchoille!info gcl feisty00:32
greegim at a coffe shop at the moment00:32
agoreckiThe last time I zeroed a hard drive it needed to be replaced. Which filesystem are you using? (I am sorry, without much more information there is not a lot I can say on the issue)00:32
ubotugcl: GNU Common Lisp compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.7-32 (feisty), package size 28038 kB, installed size 98532 kB00:32
ardchoillegreeg: Ah, ok00:32
gsprgreeg: It's probably easier to just get the packaged GCL.00:32
greegyeah, and a bit spoiled by apt.00:32
greegi ran ./configure in the proper directory according the the packages readme.00:32
BrOSsardchoille: are u there?00:33
greeg./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string00:33
ardchoilleBrOSs: I am00:33
intelikeygreeg is there a reason you don't want to use the packaged version ?00:33
intelikey!packages00:34
ubotuYou can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!00:34
ardchoilleintelikey: His Linux box has no internet. He could download the gcl package but may run into deps problems.00:35
stdingreeg: try "bash configure" instead00:35
intelikeycould dl from  http://packages.ubuntu.com   and carry the .deb to the box as easy as a tarball.00:35
intelikeyardchoille he'll hit the same dependancy problems with a tarball00:35
batis610Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how?00:36
ardchoilleintelikey: True, but at least now he's connected and can grab those deps instead of waiting to get home and finding out which deps he needs00:37
intelikeystdin heh  that's probably it.  more bashism masqerading as posix shell grammer00:37
BrOSsi need some help about WEP..00:39
intelikeypeople should not use  #!/bin/sh and then write bashism into it.   that's like writing a perl script and making the first line #!/usr/bin/python00:39
ardchoilleBrOSs: Since I already know what you're attempting, this isn't the proper place to ask about illegal activities00:40
intelikeyBrOSs get all your warez at ftp://127.0.0.1/00:41

ScottGordeal00:42
intelikeywhat odeal is that ?00:43
ScottGJust trying to get 3D re-enabled.00:43
intelikeyalso  people should not make configure and pre/post-inst/rm scripts with #!/bin/bash   nor containing bashism00:44
ScottGAfter fixing the 640x480 res problem I can't seem to get the Nvidia drivers installed so I can boot X..00:44

flaccidlooks like some bus problem or anyhting hardware. try the alternate cd first01:57
flaccid!alternate | zeke01:57
ubotuzeke: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal01:57
zekeI've not had much luck with alternate installs in the past01:58
zekeI tried it with freebsd and ended up without a gui of any sort01:58
zekeis the oem option of the normal cd the same as the alternate version?01:59
ardchoillezeke: Try it with the kubuntu alternate install cd.. I found it quite easy to use.01:59
ardchoillezeke: The OEM option leaves the system in a state in which the first user to boot it up must set some options, kind like purchasing a computer off of the store shelf.02:00
flaccidzeke: this is not freebsd at all. your issues could be something to do with the desktop components of the live cd. if you don't wanna try it, its your choice02:00
zekeI'm just trying to see what my options are02:01
zekeI do appreciate the advice and I will give it a try02:01

earl_so i remember reading a few months ago about a problem with ubuntu and laptop hard drives. does that still apply in gutsy?03:56
Tuccihey i03:57
Tuccihello?03:57
ardchoille!hi | Tucci03:57
ubotuTucci: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!03:57
Tuccioh, okay, there's usually a flood of messages as soon as I connect... things are quiet I guess03:58
Dr_willisearl_,  i saw that when gutsy came out. the issue was a little.. odd. :) if i rember right it only affected some spefific machines/bios/hd's and  it was only affecting those machines that had  the laptop-mode packages enabled.03:58
earl_is there a way to verify if it applies to me?03:59
Tuccianyway, I was trying to share a folder with my roommate's mac, and I both failed at that and broke my internet connection03:59
Tuccican someone help?03:59
Dr_willisThere was a great many sites on that topic.  You could check the smart 'data' on the hd and see how fast it was increasing.04:00
Dr_willisthen if you wanted you could use hdparm to tweak it.  lets me see whats on my laptop04:00
earl_not sure how to do any of that lol04:00
Dr_willisIf you never installed the laptop-mode package.. then it wont be affecting you anyway04:01

Plug it in , turn it on. it appears as System:/media/sdd1  HOWEVER  there is no '/media/sdd1' the disk is instead mounted at '/media/disk'   Where did that 'disk' name come from? (its a windows fat32 disk)04:39

adamonline46Hello all!  For the last couple days I've been fiddling with accessing my network shares using Samba.  I FINALLY found out that if I use Dolphin and click 'open as root' while I'm inside the MSHOME folder, I can see the machines that are on the network and access their shares.  Is there any reason that anyone can think of that I can't view my MSHOME shares as a regular user?  All other computers can access this computer's shares, but06:16
Tidusrredd4: http://tidus.alive-awake.com/photos/?Qwd=./Screenshots/Linux&Qif=desktop_12_29_07.png&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=M&Qtmp=FS <-- completely stock except changed the wallpaper06:17
se7ensurgy: i don't get it but you could try 7zip with the command  7z x -p{passwort} file.rar06:18
ollle7zip is great06:19
NickPrestasurgy, I just created a rar archive (`rar a -p archive.rar file`) and then did `unrar e archive.rar`. It worked fine for me. Where was this archive created?06:19
rredd4Tidus surgy  i had to add the applet, now i see it06:19
surgyNickPresta: im not creating an archive06:19
surgyi use 7zip and got two errors, says its an unsupported method06:20
NickPrestasurgy, I understand that. I created an archive with a password and then unrar'd it for testing purposes. It worked. unrar works when the archive has a password. I don't know why your specific archive fails to extract06:20
Tidusrredd4: it shoulda been there by default06:20
rredd4Tidus  I have never seen it until now, weird06:21
surgyNickPresta: want me to pm you the six lines of output that 7zip gives me?06:21
NickPrestasurgy, sure, although I'm not sure I can help diagnose the problem. If the archive doesn't contain anything sensitive, you could send it to me and I can see if it works for me.06:21

adamonline46If I haven't touched the firewall settings that come with Kubuntu, and doing 'iptables -L' shows everything as 'allow', is it possible there's still something acting as a firewall in a near-stock Kubuntu?06:53
_CitizenKane_adamonline46, unlikely06:54
adamonline46_CitizenKane_: Very well, thank you...06:54
_CitizenKane_adamonline46, what kind of problem are you having06:55
_CitizenKane_?06:55
adamonline46_CitizenKane_: Well, I can't see any of my network computers or their shares from my Kubuntu computer... I've been fiddling with it since yesterday morning, and tonight I found out if I click 'open as root' in dolphin while I'm in 'MSHOME', I CAN see the network shares...06:56
adamonline46I've been asking left and right and no one seems to have any ideas; I'm getting ready to give up until I want to access a network share again :(06:57
_CitizenKane_that's strange06:57
adamonline46_CitizenKane_: Indeed.  I've verified my firewall's got no rules...06:57
_CitizenKane_well, try to open an IP address directly in dolphin or konqueror with06:58
_CitizenKane_smb:/ip-address-here06:59
adamonline46is it really only one slash?06:59
adamonline46I've been using 2...06:59
_CitizenKane_well, dolphin doesn't like it when i use two06:59
adamonline46ahh07:00
se7endolphin only /07:00
adamonline46Yeah, in Konqueror all I get is a white-bg window...07:00
_CitizenKane_hmm, is there a firewall enabled on the computer you're trying to connect to07:01
adamonline46se7en: Thank you, useful info...07:01
adamonline46No, nothing... I even set up a minimal smb.conf with security = share, etc; which requires no password or anything07:02
adamonline46Plus, I can still access all my other machines from all my other machines...07:02
_CitizenKane_well, that's pretty strange07:03
_CitizenKane_maybe there's a solution besides using smb07:03
adamonline46_CitizenKane_: Hmm.  Well, I'm trying to get to  my file server, and I've got a couple roommates on the network... Everything is set up as it should be, in terms of access rights, etc.  Hmm..  Dang, yeah, I'm just so stumped here... I can try FTP I suppose, just for kicks...07:06
_CitizenKane_adamonline46, i actually prefer ftp, i've found that it's much easier to set up than many other options07:07
adamonline46_CitizenKane_: Oh yeah?  I will do it, if you can assure me that there is a PLAIN, boring, Windows-Explorer-like, saves passwords and doesn't prompt you every time, Windows client... 8)07:10
_CitizenKane_adamonline46, filezilla07:10
adamonline46Filezilla drives me nuts, and cuteFTP is not much better, plus I'm trying to not install any warez 8)07:11
adamonline46Just, I don't want to have a hundred frames in an FTP client; I just want something that runs transparently, like a mount...07:12
_CitizenKane_adamonline46, http://glosoli.blogspot.com/2005/10/map-drive-via-ftp-or-webdav.html07:13

_CitizenKane_adamonline46, no problem07:15
mahasamootMy keyboard has a volume button, and a mute button.  I can see a volume metter come up when I press the button, but it doesn't change the volume.  Same for mute, it'll say mute on/off, but no effect.  I've confirmed that the master channel on Kmix is the right one, and when I change it on the pannel it works alright.  Also, sometimes, the volume meter will go up to 100% and down to 0%, smothly.... but at other times it's jerky and just goes from 0% to 11%07:40
mahasamootI also have play/pause, stop, next, pervious, buttons, but they've always worked fine with Amorak07:41

mahasamootadamonline46: on my machine there are settings, but it tells me the packages aren't installed07:51
mahasamootadamonline46: try K > System Settings > Sharing07:52
mahasamootadamonline46: you may already have the packages07:52
adamonline46mahasamoot: Hmm, alright... Yeah, I'm having issues with Samba, I think... Can't access any remote shares from Kubuntu...07:52
adamonline46mahasamoot: *Er, unless I'm root...07:53
mahasamootadamonline46: I need to set this stuff up myself, maybe we can work thro it together07:53
mahasamootadamonline46: what have you done so far?07:54
adamonline46mahasamoot: Alright, I'd be glad to help if I can... I'm not too great with Samba tho...07:54
adamonline46haha, my settings panel stopped responding...07:54
adamonline46I have Samba installed, and smbclient...07:55
adamonline46I can access local shares from remote locations, but not vice versa07:55
adamonline46never seen anything like this before, I've got 2 other computers using Samba fine, though this is the first time I've tried connecting to one of them (or my win box) from Linux...07:56
mahasamootso your client is working, but not the server?07:57
adamonline46mahasamoot: No, the server is working, but not the client.07:58
adamonline46Er, maybe I should start over...07:58
mahasamootadamonline46: ok, are you following a tutorial?07:58
adamonline46I've got 5 computers.  4 of them are using Linux: A Counter-Strike server, a web server, a laptop, and a new file server running Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu,  and Xubuntu respectively.  Then i've got a WinXP machine which can access all of those machine's shares.  I've never tried accessing any of those shares from another Linux box, but now with the laptop and fileserver I have a reason to.  So, basically, while the WinXP rig can view a08:02
adamonline46mahasamoot: haha, so, no, I'm not really following a tut... But I can help you out, if I can... What's your situation?08:02
mahasamootadamonline46: I've just set up winXP in a kvm08:03
adamonline46mahasamoot: Ooh, that's cool08:03
mahasamootI'd like it to get files on the host... and the host to connect a client for an appserver on winXP08:04
mahasamootadamonline46: the networking stuff looked really compicated,... but the funny thing was, winXP can surf the web... even tho I didn't set it up yet08:07
adamonline46mahasamoot: Oh wow!  That's cool...08:09
adamonline46damn, I'm afraid I'm not gonna be much help...08:09
mahasamootadamonline46: the question is, should I use NFS, and do it the Unix way, or Samba and do it the Windows way?08:09
adamonline46Well, what else is on your network?08:10
adamonline46I for one am trying to choose the simplicity of one config file, so I'm shooting to use Samba all round...08:10
mahasamootjust the host, and an internet connection08:10
adamonline46Then again, I have dhcp...08:11
mahasamootsince the network is already working for windows... ?  I'm guess it's already dhcp'd... on the other hand if it's static, that's simpler... isn't it?08:12
adamonline46yeah, it's simpler, unless you have new computers coming in and out regularly :)  If I had a better router, I could do both...08:16
etfbDoes anyone else have a problem where Kopete, the chat program, "steals" the Ctrl+Shift+W key combination and stops it getting through to Firefox or any other program?  I've looked in Keyboard Settings and in Kopete's config menus and can't find any mention of it.  How do I fix it?08:17

Mister_Handwhats the program you use to search your drive for a specific file in kde?08:20
adamonline46Sorry, etfb, I wish I cuold help you... I'd like to ask, if anyone knows why not only can I not view my network shares from just this one machine, but when I clidk 'Sharing' under 'settings', the 'settings' panel freezes?  What's wrong here? This is driving me nutso!!! :O08:21
Mister_Handnevermind08:22
adamonline46Mister_Hand: Possible Dolphin, but by CLI you can do 'find *file*.ext', or08:22
adamonline46oh ok08:22

Tidusand most of my in game shortcuts are bound to those keys08:24
ZombocomTidus I have the problem where kde isn't bound to those keys08:24
etfbLooks like there's a general problem with overzealous key bindings in KDE then.  It should, in theory, give the current application first option at any keypress.  Instead, it's grabbing some itself, early.08:30
etfbTidus: Have you had a look in settings to disable some of the global shortcuts you don't need?08:30

Drk_GuyOk08:56
_CitizenKane_it's been awhile so I don't remember all of the different packages :P08:56

_CitizenKane_ICQnumber, do you just need to restart the network manager applet?08:57
ICQnumber_CitizenKane_: no08:58

_CitizenKane_ICQnumber, you can kill the networkmanager process and then start it again09:00

starscreamdI was trying to install flash and am having problems with possibly breaking dependencies in Kubuntu Gutsy. I went to a page with flash content in Konqueror and attempted to install the flash plugin. Halfway through the install, I got an error about the flashplayer.xpt not existing. So the install fails, and when I attempt a sudran to install update/safe-upgrade, it says:dpkg --configure -a must be ran to correct the problem.09:12
starscreamdAfter that is executed...09:12
_CitizenKane_James296, use the update-rc.d command09:12
jpatrickJames296: open console: and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade09:12
MGrundetmske: I'm really not sure.  If it's behaving the same when it's installed with apt and compiled, I'd have to guess that it's an issue with the driver, but that doesn't seem very likely.09:12
kvonbthanks jpatrick :)09:12

Stevie2k:-) I solved my keyboard problem...11:36
ubuntu_Hi :)11:37
MinnozzHi, anybody knows why I can't paste my screenshot in (for instance) KolourPaint when I 'Copy to clipboard' in KSnapshot?11:37
Stevie2kIt was a setting for handicapped people to slow down the keyboard... and this was set to 500ms so the keyboard was really very slow...11:37
ubuntu_i just install kubuntu 7.10 i choose not to  install grub, and now on reboot i get message "missing operating system"11:37
Stevie2kthx @all and bye11:37
ubuntu_i thougth if i don't install grub system wil autmaticly install boot sector11:38
ubuntu_any ideas what is wrong11:38
Frekumaybe your harddisk with kubuntu is not in your bios bootlist11:38
ubuntu_it is only hard disc i got, and it is first on boot list11:39
etfbI found an interim solution to the problem of Kopete "stealing" keys away from other applications, if anyone's interested...11:39
etfbIt was stopping Ctrl+Shift+W from closing Firefox, because it means "Toggle 'Away' Status" in Kopete11:39
ubuntu_i'm thinking about install again witch grub and just set timeotu to "0" but it's not nice solution :|11:40
jussi01ubuntu_: you need grub11:40
ubuntu_is there anything like windows fixmbr?11:40
ubuntu_but if ubuntu is only system on my hd, then what for?11:41
etfbThe solution is to define any commands you want as global keyboard shortcuts using the System Settings / Keyboard thingy.  Added bonus is that they then work in all programs, so I can close any program using the shortcut that I grew used to just in Firefox.11:41
jussi01ubuntu_: grub boots ubuntu. you need it.11:41
etfbA real solution would be for the Kopete maintainers not to steal key commands, of course...11:41
ubuntu_ok, thanx11:41
ubuntu_roger, roger :)11:41

pjfloydanyone know what's the problem with command line completion?11:45
pjfloydesc-esc doesn't complete until another key is pressed (e.g., space)11:46
etfbpjfloyd: It's using Emacs keyboard shortcuts, so Esc is kind of tricky and might even be confusing matters.  What is Esc Esc supposed to do in this case?11:48
pjfloydetfb: just completion, like tab in some systems11:49
etfbWhat shell?11:49
pjfloydetfb: I normally use ksh, but I think it's with bash11:49

pjfloydperhaps I'll try a real ksh from AT&T11:50

etfbMinnozz: KolourPaint is pretty minimalist; maybe it doesn't handle the clipboard very well.  Clipboard is still a dark art in Linux -- not like MacOS or that other popular operating system, where it's actually pretty stable and easy to use.11:52
Minnozzlol @ 'that other popular operating system'11:52
jussi01Minnozz: have you considerd saving the screenshot, then opening with said program?11:53
Minnozzetfb: thanks for the info, now I know it's not a configuration problem11:53
pjfloyd(I have Solaris and FreeBSD running at the moment, and for both with bash if I type, say "ls bo[esc-esc]" it completes to "ls boost_1_34_1/"11:53

etfbMinnozz: I'm just guessing based on what I know about these things though, so don't give up on my account.11:53
Minnozzjussi01: yes I know that works, but it's one more step to make, pasting it directly is faster (that's why I asked)11:54
jussi01Minnozz: ahh, ok :D11:54
SSJ_GZMinnozz: You have to enable image handling in Klipper.  Wait a sec ...11:54
Minnozzah, solution! =D11:54
etfbMinnozz: (See?  "The danger in declaring something to be impossible is that you'll be trampled by all the people busy doing it.")11:55
pjfloydetfb: Mac OS X clipboard is mediocre when you mix X11 apps11:55
SSJ_GZMinnozz: Close Klipper.  In the [general] section of ~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc, and the line IgnoreImages=false11:55
SSJ_GZMinnozz: Re-start klipper and it should work.11:55
etfbpjfloyd: Probably a symptom of the poor quality X11 implementation they use, if my reading is accurate.11:55
SSJ_GZMinnozz: (I've just tested it here)11:55

etfbSSJ_GZ: Another one for my Read Me bookmark folder.  Thanks.  Has anyone else noticed how useful Firefox tabs are for IRC?  I come away from an extended chat session with a pile of open tabs, which I then save as a bookmarked folder and spend the next day browsing.  Excellent!  But I digress...11:59
etfbHas anyone noticed that the Downloads dialog in Firefox doesn't work under Kubuntu?  That is, you can download files, but often the "Open" link does nothing.11:59
nick__Hey everyone, i have an zipping question.  I have a 5.12gb file and I want to compress it to fit on a standard dvd.  I've tried using ark but it doesn't seem to compress it very much.  Do I have any other options?12:00
etfbAlso, I can't open the "All files download to" folder either.  Worked in Ubuntu, as far as I can remember, but does nothing in Kubuntu.12:00
etfbnick__: What format is the file?12:01
etfbnick__: If it's video or JPEG, it's already compressed close to the optimal amount.12:01
nick__etfb: It is a collection of 13 .avi files in one folder12:01
etfbnick__: You're out of luck then.  AVI is pretty efficient already.  You won't find a compression tool to decrease it significantly.12:02

=== Pupeno- is now known as Pupeno
etfbnick__: Can you burn dual-layer DVDs?12:02
nick__etfb: hmmm, alright, guess I'll have to split it up, unfortunately no :)12:02
etfbnick__: Probably best; don't trust your important files to new technology!12:03
nick__etfb: Just out of curiosity, about what ratio does ark compress things to, say I had an uncompressed .mov file12:03
etfbnick__: Length of a piece of string multiplied by the number you first thought of.12:03
etfbnick__: In other words, it depends.12:04
nick__etfb: that's a funny saying :)12:04
etfbnick__: Video, audio and jpegs won't compress much though.  Text will often go down to 33% or so.  Executables vary widely.  Other formats are anyone's guess.12:04
nick__etfb: Thank you so much for your help, you've been very informative12:05
etfbnick__: (I refer to some calculations as being "LPS Protocol Compliant" if you have no way of guessing how accurate they are -- LPS = Length of a Piece of String)12:05
etfbnick__: HTH. HAND. And other such silly acronyms.12:06
etfbSo: Firefox.  Can someone else try this for me?  Open Firefox, open the Downloads window, and click the button next to "All files download to".  Does it open a file browser, or just do nothing?12:07
nick__etfb: Doesn't do anything for me12:09
rothchildetfb I noticed that was broken too you have to change it in the firefox preferences page12:09
etfbrothchild: Where?12:09
etfbrothchild: Can't see any options that specify the file manager to use.  It should just pick up the default.12:11
VampireKingwhat you suggest to see chm files ?12:11
etfbVampireKing: I use kchmviewer.12:11
rothchildunder edit preferences you can change the download folder12:12
etfbrothchild: Yes - but it doesn't make the button work.12:12
etfbrothchild: Maybe it's an about:config thing.12:13
rothchildbut when you hit the 'download to' button on the download manager itself as you way it just opens a browser windo12:13
etfbrothchild: Yeah - which makes me think it's a bug in Firefox, because it's inconsistent.12:14

AyabaraI have been using gnome, but decided to install kubuntu-desktop yesterday, since I use a lot of kde-apps. When I logged into the kde-session, my networking didn't work, but it works fine in gnome. Make any sense?12:34
BlissexAyabara: no.12:35
maurijussi01: if i opne storage media, i don't find a floppy12:35
BlissexAyabara: the network is independent of the desktop environment. Most likely it is the web proxy that is not setup.12:35
AyabaraBlissex, ok. what does that mean I have to do?12:35
BlissexAyabara: try 'ping www.kubuntu.org' inside Konsole.12:36
BlissexAyabara: what you have to do depends on what you mean with "networking didn't work"12:36

Blissex!doesn't not work12:37
maurijussi01: sorry i dont understand12:37
jussi01mauri: it was a mistake, my apoligies.12:37
BlissexAyabara: sure, or you can run KDE inside a virtual X desktop, for example with 'Xephyr' or 'Xnest'. But probably is simpler on another terminal.12:38
AyabaraBlissex, ok. right back :-)12:38
AyabaraBlissex, I got an error that "Server is already active for Display 0". What I tried was logging in and typing startx. The wrong command?12:40
BlissexAyabara: yes. try 'startx -- :1'12:40
BlissexAyabara: if you play around with both GNOME and KDE you can always use 'xinit' or 'xinit -- :1' and then type 'startkde' or 'gnome-session' in the resulting terminal window.12:42
MGalaxyHi, I need a software to mount .ISO and .BIN images with "Automount After Restart" feature, any solution?12:42

MGalaxyBlissex: what is it?12:44
janellefixing to install and try kubuntu alternate cd12:44
BlissexAyabara: the key to checking network connections is first to check with 'ping' first locally and then remotely...12:44
AyabaraBlissex, and the phrasing _was_ kinda dumb, so I'm not too offended ;-)12:45
elvirolohi everyone12:45

Ayabaraok12:57
ScottGjanelle, join #kubuntu-offtopic Eds and I are talking there12:58
raymearsbasically my computer is unusable. any suggestions?12:58
BlissexAyabara: so you should use the Ubuntu network manager to ensure that the WiFi comes up at boot regardless. As to the WiFi key/passphrase you will have to put it into some kind of file.12:58
Blissexraymears: sounds like hw problems.12:59
raymearsnope.12:59

astanLynoure: thanks.. i did some googling and found some bug reports with similar logs here and there.. :/14:22
astansimilar but not identical.14:22
Lynoureastan: this is probably not the cause, but do you have your wireless (eth1) in /etc/network/interfaces ?  It often confuses networkmanager14:23

jussi01cef: no, it will attempt to download it iirc.14:27
cefjussi01: yeah but alternate doesn't need a gui, right?14:27
Lynoureastan: are you on gutsy?14:27
jussi01cef: correct. it uses ncurses iirc.14:27
cefjussi01: cos my nvidia card isn't supported by the free driver (well, most likely it's just the PCI ID's)14:27
* OsamaK is going14:27
astanLynoure: yea.14:27
jussi01OsamaK: bye and good luck14:28
astanLynoure: the line "Dec 30 14:55:46 pyret NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1/wireless): disconnected during association, asking for new key." in the log is what pops up right when the connection fails, too bad it doesn't say more than that..14:28
Lynoureastan: because the disconnects seem a bit on what I had on feisty, but for me that got fixed on gutsy. Foneras are not the easiest APs to get along, as the switch essids...14:28
cefjussi01: which makes installing it using the livecd impossible.... *sigh*.. ok.. time to download the alternate cd14:28

Jeroiasoundconf set-default-card PARAMETER16:03
shampoonatoronce uppon a time.... i had 3d16:03
shampoonatorand it was simple *sigh16:03
jnp3134macke_: you can get asoundconf by going to K Menu>System>Adept Manager.  Search for "alsa-utils" and install it (if it isn't already installed16:03
flaccidjnp3134: its installed by default and asoundconf is working16:04
flaccidmacke_: so asoundconf set-default-card audigy16:04
macke_YAY!16:04
Jeroiworks?16:04
=== juan is now known as Xplicit
flaccidyou got that now?16:04
macke_Aye, aplay works but not Amarok16:05
flaccidrestart amarok and make sure the right device is selected in its config16:05
Jeroiedit amarok preferences16:05
BluesKajshampoonator, in order to revert to the default restricted driver , (that's my reommendation) you have to make tsure the otherproprietary driver isn't loading , the only way is to uninstall it16:05
Xplicitalways test sound with speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav16:06
shampoonatormmh16:06
flaccidshampoonator: use restricted-manager-kde16:06
shampoonatorflaccid:  i did.. didnt work16:06
flaccid!doesntwork | shampoonator16:06
ubotushampoonator: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.16:06
macke_Yeah, Amarok worked after restart16:06
shampoonatorit does not work => i have no 3d acceleration16:06
flaccidwhat type of 3d acceleration16:07
shampoonatori disabled aiglx in xorg.conf and composit thingi16:07

flaccidshampoonator: ok well im on a 960016:08
jnp3134Xplicit: yes - audigy should be listed under asoundconf list, if it is installed16:08
flaccidshampoonator: pastebin glxinfo and xorg.conf please16:08
macke_Jeroi: im not sure, only that it is Nvidia16:08
shampoonatorit worked under edgy mmh16:08
Jeroi!nvidia16:08
ubotuTo install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto16:08
BluesKajshampoonator, uninstalling instructions are down the page a bit : https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat712-inst.html16:08
Xpliciti just did a similar thing to get ICH5 but now that the speaker-test program doesnt even work, it may be a hardware error so im  going to go get my other card16:09
flaccidBluesKaj: restricted-manager does that, unless shampoonator did not install from repos16:09
marius__can anyone tell me how cccan i restore my title bar for all my windows16:09
macke_Jeroi: Thanks i think it worked, atleast it says i shall restart comp16:10

julussre16:11
BluesKajflaccid, not necessarily ..if the driver wasn't uninstalled it won't show that it wasn't, and then the wrong driver will reload after the next bootup16:11
flaccidrestricted manager removes the other driver BluesKaj16:11
flaccidshampoonator: ok what is the output of dpkg -l | grep restricted-manager16:12
jnp3134jeroi: I have a problem similar to macke_, only my second sound card is an echoaudio mia.  I can install the audio drivers and have both cards show up, but I cannot select my onboard sound as the default in Amarok.  I have already tried "asoundconf set-default-card Mia, to no avail. Any ideas?16:13
shampoonatorhttp://pastebin.ca/83870716:13
flaccidshampoonator: ok now goto kdesu restricted-manager-kde . what does it say about the video card?16:14
shampoonatorwell its aktivated....16:15
julussso i thinks there are no way to install a hda-intel ich816:15
julussor realtek 861VD16:15
Jeroijnp3134 I think alsamixer uses that soundchip wich is default soundchip in alsa16:16
Jeroiamarok16:16
Xplicitis there an alternative to using echo "compiz --replace" > ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh ; chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh16:16
Xplicitto start compiz automatically, i ve banned /home from having executable files16:16
macke_Graphic and sound cards are working nicely :916:16
flaccidwhich one is activated, the restricted one yes?16:16
Jeroinice macke_16:17
flaccidshampoonator: this is what you have to do, its important. uncheck it and apply let it do its thing then exit. then go back into it and check it again and exit. don't restart at all. then pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf again then i will give you the right xorg.conf then you will just need to restart16:18
Jeroijnp3134 I think you just enbale your second soundchip from amarok settings16:21

jnp3134jeroi: when I select alsa as the output pugn in Amarok, I get this message: "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers."16:24

ArtimusHopefully I'm missing something.  Is there a mailing list for bugs/development discussion on non-gnome applications?  There's the Kubuntu* lists for the Kubuntu apps, but I can't seem to find where command line apps that are common between versions are discussed.  I don't really like the ubuntu-* mailing lists, as all I see are GTK related issues.16:28
