billthefishI'll ask again.. I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 on my other PC. About 10 minutes ago while using inkscape, my ps\2 Keyboard just completely stoped working.. I've checked the connection in the back of the PC and its good, rebooted and allows me to type my password.. but once loged in.. i can't get the Keyboard to do anything.. Anyone come across this issue? or know how to fix it?00:01

Dragnslcrrasmus__- I'm not sure, but I would guess that your settings are stored somewhere in ~/.kde00:58
P<draik>you mean a zip file?00:58
WaltzingAlongrasmus__: then you should backup your /home/user folder and its contents00:58
draikP: I believe so. I did it once, but I don't recall how I did it.00:58
Dragnslcrrasmus__- having /home on its own partition is definitely a good idea00:59

scorkikhi there.. my amarok can't play mp3's... i found some page saing goto /usr/lib/amarok/install-mp3 .. they said i suppose to click on it and it will install the file ... but when i click on it, it open the file as a read file.. how can i install the file?01:08
lovreWaltzingAlong: how can i find that out from the output?01:08
bazhangscorkik: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg01:08
MagicCowscorkik: Not sure, I used automatix2 to get the codecs (Hope that is okay to post here)01:08
WaltzingAlongare you accessing data from the drives? you could also check lsmod, see which modules are loaded. course then you would need to know which module would handle sataii disks01:09
WaltzingAlong:(01:09
bazhangMagicCow: no longer need that01:09
WaltzingAlongMagicCow: and you can also go back to pure kde afterward http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde01:09
lovreWaltzingAlong: everything is on a single drive (4 partitions)01:09
WaltzingAlongso things are working as expected. a module (driver) that worked was found as in use01:10
scorkikbazhang: i already installed libxine1-ffmpeg , from some reason it didn't do anything except of installing it ...01:10
MagicCowOh, yeah, one more thing.. when I am configuring my taskbar, and I am in menu, and I want to see Name and Description of my KDE "start menu" programs, I get "_: Entries in Kmenu" before a lot of the programs.01:10
scorkikbazhang: when i opened amarok again it still didn't work01:11
WaltzingAlongjust hoping for 3 Gb/s ? ;001:11
lovreWaltzingAlong: the fact im using the sata hdd means that drivers for sataii are installed? couldnt it just be slower or something.....01:11

WaltzingAlongMagicCow: right mouse click the kmenu icon, panel menu, configure panel; then in menus, check either name only or description only01:12

lovrei have just become aware that my monitor is set to 50Hz refresh frequency, and it can go up to 75Hz, and it was set up to 75Hz a while ago. Why cant i change it to anything other than 50Hz? Drivers seem to be installed. Its 7900GS nVidia02:38
nosrednaekimlovre: the refresh rate doesn't matter02:39
lovrenosrednaekim: why do you think that?02:41
Dragnslcrlovre- I have the same issue, but I think the refresh rate is being reported incorrectly02:42
DragnslcrIf my monitor's rate was 50 Hz, the flickering would probably drive me mad02:42
lovreDragnslcr: this is LCD.02:43
lovreDragnslcr: yours?02:43
DragnslcrMine is as well02:43
uhohLCD has a refresh rate?02:44
lovreuhoh: why would you think it doesnt=????02:44
uhohthere isn't an option for it is there?02:45
lovreuhoh: there is a setting in kcontrol02:45
nosrednaekimlovre: does it bother you by flikering?02:45
uhohi see it now02:46
lovrenosrednaekim: no it doesnt, but if i could get 75hz it would be better for my eyes, i need to spend much time in front of computer.... you get tired...02:46
lovreis there any kind of nvidia utility to set theese things? i remember some1 mentioned something like this a while ago02:47

Jucatotuxwulf_: View menu -> View Mode. then Settings -> Save View Profile02:53
biovoreback up your current xorg.conf first though..02:54
lovrei figured it out. The kcontrol is lying. I used nvidia-settings to set up frequency to 75Hz (highest available for my lcd) and kcontrol says its @100Hz, what is impossible.:D02:54

draik*Here's what I don't understand...03:00
ubuntu__lovre, why i get this [/bin/mount: /bin/mount: cannot execute binary file]03:00
lovretuxwulf_: dolphin is a file manager thats default in 7.10 (Gutsy). Its actually a backport from KDE4, still testing i suppose. But its much better than konqueror if you ask me03:00
draikI am using Kubuntu.  KDE.  I logout to restart X. If it fails, it hangs at a list of commands. I do the 3-finger salute. I restore my Xorg.conf file from the backup. I "startx". I am taken into GNOME. Why is that?03:01
nosrednaekimdraik: probably the default session.03:02
nosrednaekimdraik: in the startx script03:02
draiknosrednaekim: How do I change that?03:02

tuxwulf_lovre > I see...03:02

sonic_beatnikspeaking of kde4, if Hardy is LTS and plans on providing KDE4 packages, will the KDE4.0 (4.1?) packages be considered LTS?05:33

Jucatobut hardy will still have KDE 3.5.x05:36
sonic_beatnikso if kde4.0 is the release around Hardy time, providing LTS for it...05:37
sonic_beatnikyes kde 3 as default05:37
sonic_beatnikbut does LTS cover the whole repository or just the kubuntu-destop default packages?05:38
Jucatoall packages that are officially supported by Canonical (main and restricted)05:40
