[00:04] and it seems to be not just my problem [00:04] what ata control you have? [00:05] ata 100 [00:05] paralel ata [00:05] chipset.. [00:05] sis730 [00:05] ICH7 or something [00:05] Hm [00:05] brb.. dinner [00:05] Something isn't supported, I think [00:05] the only hdd that it worked with was a very old one 6,4 BG [00:05] Minataku: know how I can route sound input to my speakers? [00:05] It works w/o setup in *windows* [00:05] :'( [00:06] My setup is all screwy [00:06] Music on laptop [00:06] laptop desktop [00:06] Speakers [00:06] x_zeuss: Do you have a RAID array setup? Does the chipset support RAID? [00:06] Dolphin is worse than Konqoror [00:06] o.o [00:06] It's also possible that you have a bad ATA chipset [00:07] no, no raid [00:07] i have a problem with my printer installation [00:07] can anyone help me [00:07] i use kubuntu gutsy [00:07] there are some faulty ata chipsets out there, and a few that don't have compatible drivers. [00:07] my printer is an canon pixma ip5300 [00:07] I thought it was gusty for a long time :( [00:08] Hm [00:08] Often a problem like that is a matter of one chip in the chipset not being quite right. [00:08] on same computer it worked with only one hdd installed, a very old 6,4 GB one [00:08] * jack is a moron [00:08] Yeah, this may very well be a case [00:08] but with other 2 hdds that i have no luck at all [00:08] x_zeuss: You may have a bad ATA chipset [00:08] aziegler: have you googled "canon pixma ip5300 linux"? [00:08] when i use lsusb kubuntu found my printer as device [00:08] spanish [00:08] If it just plain doesn't work, look into replacing it [00:08] !es [00:08] Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [00:08] yes i googled 4 it [00:09] but how come it works with an older hdd? [00:09] Canon printers? pixma? Ick... You may want to go check cups.org to even see if that printer has ANY linux support at all. [00:09] Oh shit [00:09] How do I make a new Kwallet? [00:09] jack watch the language [00:09] x_zeuss: Is there more to the error than just that? [00:09] D: [00:09] I know there are some Canon printers that have NO linux support at all. [00:09] x_zeuss: lower speeds or protocols may not stress whatever's broken. [00:09] And that is true, what jh said [00:09] It's possible that the older drive isn't capable of reaching what's causing the issue [00:10] Fixed [00:10] Which seems to be broken DMA from what I can gather off Google [00:10] It would seem that faster drives are trying to go faster than the controller can support, the controller CLAIMS to support it, but it's actually broken [00:10] that's the only error [00:10] Your ATA chipset is bogus [00:11] hmmm, and the sollution is another motherboard? [00:11] Or an expansion card with separate chipset [00:12] I could be wrong too, but it's likely that your chipset is lame, or the drivers can't support it [00:12] .j #ubuntu [00:12] Pastebin your dmesg for me [00:12] is there anything i can do to the hdd to slow it down a little so that it can work? [00:12] I want to read it [00:12] whoops [00:12] read what? [00:13] Your dmesg output [00:13] Just installed kubuntu. however, i think it didn't set my root (hd0,1) correctly. If I boot into the live cd. how do i edit the correct /boot/grub/menu.lst. [00:13] i'm a little noob so you'll have to tell me where to look for it [00:13] Type "dmesg > tempfile" in an xterm [00:14] Then open up tempfile in, say, Kate or somesuch [00:14] Then select all, copy, and paste it into !pastebin [00:14] !pastebin [00:14] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [00:14] i'm in XP now [00:14] Then give me the link [00:14] Does your Linux installation boot at all? [00:15] only at the start where i can choose install or safe mode [00:15] it doesn't boot into the gui [00:16] only a few seconds of splash screen and than busybox with that error [00:16] Hrm [00:16] It's definitely a chipset issue [00:16] It's either bad or unsupported [00:16] but the opensuse 10.3 witch has same kernel doesn't have this problem [00:16] At which point I don't think there's much that can be done [00:16] Hrm [00:17] Then it's unsupported by Kubuntu [00:17] File a bug [00:17] !bug [00:17] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/ - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots [00:17] It's clearly a bug in Kubuntu [00:17] it's allready filed by others but still no sollution [00:17] x_zeuss: Suse has access to propietary closed-source driver code. [00:17] If it works in another distro, then it's Kubuntu at fault [00:17] x_zeuss: Or rather, Novell does. [00:18] Does OpenSUSE? [00:18] how do i get "sans" in kubuntu? I can get "Sans" in XFCE [00:18] OpenSUSE I believe is no longer directly under Novell [00:18] Minataku: Of course, it's the same company. [00:18] Minataku: Novell's just not paying the devs. [00:18] * Minataku shrugs [00:19] They let people work on it for free, then they adopt the code into the closed products. [00:19] Sounds like FUD to me, jhutchins [00:19] You have conclusive proof of this? [00:19] Last I checked, the GPL didn't allow for such [00:20] how do i get "sans" in kubuntu? I can get "Sans" in XFCE [00:20] I know for a fact Sun does it with OpenSolaris, because the CDDL is set up for that [00:20] Of course, they also keep the contributed code open as well [00:20] Minataku: OS-X, RHEL, there's others.

[00:22] yes Dr_willis [00:22] x_zeuss: take your pick.. redhat, suse, debian [00:22] debian might have the same problem though..

I was a idiot. trying to mount my swap not my root. thats why it wasn't working thanks for the help stdin [00:30] heh [00:30] lol [00:31] does anyone know how to use Amarok properly? [00:31] because I for one do NOT... I cant do a darn thing on it.... [00:32] admin_, :) or ya can get the tar.gz to install for a normal user [00:33] Hmm. run amarok, point it to my Music dir.. hit play [00:34] woot.. I may have to switch everythign to kunbuntu.. this is great.. [00:44] There we go.. using the Liberation fonts now. :) [00:45] I think I'm confused. There is a java sdk 1.5 package, correct? [00:45] I think so. [00:45] !java [00:45] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. [00:46] Hmm. I never understand all the java bits and names... [00:46] After install getting invalid partition table. So i went into grub changed root to root (hd0,1) and in device map removed everything and put (hd0) ?dev/sde [00:46] This is becuase I have a couple SATA controller cards and the order of my drives are not the same during boot up as they are after the linux kernal loads [00:46] !find sdk [00:46] Found: kdesdk-dbg, kdesdk-doc-html, kdesdk-scripts, eclipse-sdk, eclipse-sdk-nls (and 17 others) [00:46] !find jdk [00:46] !find java-sdk [00:46] Found: icedtea-java7-jdk, sun-java5-jdk, sun-java6-jdk [00:46] Found: free-java-sdk, icedtea-java7-jdk [00:47] 1.5 is 5? [00:47] whats different from a sdj to a jdk ? [00:47] sdk vs. jdk [00:47] sdk/jdk is the same thing [00:47] java developer kit.. software developer kit [00:47] same thing - only different names.. :) [00:47] jdk is a kind of sdk [00:47] Did I mess up or any other reasons you know why it would give error "invalid partition table" [00:48] INIT_6, hmm could use the grub shell and its 'find' command to find where the grub files are at. [00:49] * Dr_willis wonders how a sata controller card is seen by grub - if it needs a module loaded to work... [00:49] magic? [00:49] could you remind me again how to get into the grub shell? just type grub? [00:49] at the grub menu - hit 'e' or c, or somthing like that. :) [00:49] i think C [00:50] when booting. That way you can see what the actual grub is seeing [00:50] I don't get to the grub menu errors out before [00:50] I have been going back into the liveCD to edit files [00:50] Ahh so grub isent even seeing the menu.lst eh? no menu entrys at all? [00:51] yeah [00:51] You have a 'normal' drive not on an sata controller card? [00:51] It may be grub isent totally sure hat to do with drives on those cards. [00:51] all drives are sata [00:51] the install hdd is connected to my mother board [00:51] no sata on the mb eh.. Hmm.. [00:51] and have two other satacards [00:52] ok.Hmm. well that one on the mb should work then. [00:52] so grub loads then says invalid partition right away? [00:53] It was working, then i tried to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.1 and frooze druing the install saved it a couple times but keept doing the same thing so I thought a reinstal would help. [00:53] doesn't even get to grub [00:53] I guess it does but don't see it [00:53] if grub isent even loading. that sounds like the bios is set to boot the wrong hd. [00:53] You using RAID or anything else special? [00:53] no raid === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [00:54] I might try playing with the bios [00:54] jeccrbt руссские есть?

I don't really understand how it could have been different unless my cmos got reset because my computer was turned off for about 5weeks [01:06] yes..I did that.. but doesnt work.. [01:06] fernando_: why not #include "directory/header/h" ? [01:06] INIT_6, seen that happen befor [01:06] doing something wrong then.. [01:07] stdin: because work just for a few files, later files include other files and the problem is to do it with each file..

[01:19] its not a bash env variable that curtnely set then. :) [01:19] if it's in a makefile then you could try "echo $(WX_LIBS)" in a home-made target [01:20] Dr_willis: err, that wouldn't work in bash either [01:20] $() is subshell syntax [01:20] you want ${} [01:20] * Dr_willis squinta [01:20] * Dr_willis squinta [01:21] * Dr_willis squints [01:21] :) [01:21] Makefiles do use $() for variables [01:21] Time for a larger font!

It didn't even show a prompt [02:02] well guys,,,, thanks all for trying to help [02:02] puzzler that [02:03] have to work tomorrow [02:03] bye all! [02:03] paulo: Try the forums [02:03] I will... thanks ardchoille [02:05] I am thinking about reinstalling Kubuntu 7.10 [02:06] Yes? No? [02:06] jagcorvair: Did you use 3rd party scripts for installing/tweaking? [02:06] ardchoille: Nope. [02:07] ardchoille: BluesKaj: Would you recommend I just start fresh? [02:07] jagcorvair: I have found that xine and mplayer work great. They are the only two which support closed captions so I like them. [02:07] ardchoille: I never cared for CC. Kaffeine has worked on my other computer [02:08] I'vbe never figured out how to get kaffeine to display colsed captions [02:09] Interesting.... [02:09] This computer has two drives [02:10] The top drive is solely CD burner; does not play DVDs [02:10] CD-R [02:10] (not saying there aren't any reasons why) why would someone install a mozilla thunderbird extension through adept-installer/manager instead of through thunderbird's add-on manager? [02:10] reinstalling 7.10 is an option jagcorvair , albeit a rather drastic one ...of i must ask the obvious question does system settings/advanced/disk&filesystems show the dvdrom ? [02:10] The other drive, the one that doesn't want to work, Is a DL DVD burner. I just put in a CD and it didn't even load as it did with the CD-R drive. [02:11] sammy: Reasons #1 the package manager can auto-=update the extension so the user doesn't have to worry about it [02:11] BluesKaj: Checking right now..... [02:11] ardchoille: gold star. and cookie [02:11] BluesKaj: Yes, it does [02:11] that's a fantastic reason. [02:12] :) [02:12] BluesKaj: Mount: /media/cdrom1 device: /dev/scd1 Type: Auto [02:13] BluesKaj: Oh yeah, it's on disabled. It won't enable [02:13] thunderbird's package manager doesn't automagically (or have the option to) check for updates, like the firefox add-on manager? [02:14] s/package manager/extension manager/ [02:14] jagcorvair, it will be disabled if there's no media in the device [02:14] BluesKaj: The Kubuntu 7.10 CD is inside the DVD drive [02:16] I think I'm going to start fresh [02:18] got me puzzled unless you didn't choose a username & password when you installed [02:19] actaully I'm glad he din't see that last remark :) [02:19] sammy: Not sure, but think about this. What happens if there is a huge security hole and a security update to the extension and I don't use thunderbird for a month.. that security hole goes unpatched for a month until I run tb again? But, if I install it via the package manager, it gets updated sooner. [02:20] It may not be a big deal, but I dislike leaving updates go for more than 24 hours. === nsh_ is now known as nsh [02:21] Hey, I've been playing around with compiz and it doesn't respond to my super key. I've played around with xmodmap and xev, and its set up correctly though. I'm too new to linux to come up with any more ideas. Anyone willing to help? [02:22] !compiz | bobito [02:22] bobito: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [02:22] thanks [02:23] out of curiosity, is there a reason it didnt ship with> [02:23] ? [02:23] because it doesn't work well with kde [02:23] BluesKaj: Actually, I did read your last comment [02:23] :) [02:23] BluesKaj: Yes, I do have a un/pw [02:24] bobito: Just my opinion, but I'm glad it didn't. Not everyone wants to have to uninstall that junk after first boot. [02:24] ardchoille: why do you dislike it so much? [02:24] I am getting the same error again. No Xserver when I try to install through the Live CD [02:24] bobito: That would be off-topic :) [02:25] ardchoille: crap, okay. next trip to seattle, you get cookies [02:25] I even can't found a compiz window manager for KDE.... [02:25] sammy: :D [02:25] ccsm worked fine [02:25] ardchoille, tell me in a pm? [02:26] legnaleurc: kde-window-decorator ? [02:26] Aside from rebuilding this moded Dell, what options do I have for making the DVD player work? [02:27] bobito: ? [02:27] bobito: If you like it, use it :) [02:28] adept bengqui [02:28] ardchoille: I love it, and I will, I've just never heard ill speak of it.

[04:45] Darkrift411: no [04:45] you can dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use vesa to get X back (no 3D there tho) [04:45] and then fix your nvidia-glx problem [04:46] damn [04:47] why do you want to update it? [04:47] i cant find the services assoc. with google desktop [04:47] i was hoping for better performance under wine (I play wow with wine) [04:50] no service for google desktopp [04:50] i never figured it would be so darn hard to start and stop applications [04:51] arch3angel: how did you install google desktop? [04:52] i believe apt-get but it has been a long time since the install [04:52] i also want to have kwikdisk startup [04:53] ~/.xsession [04:53] if you installed google desktop there is a package for it you can uninstall. is there? [04:54] but considering google-destkop isn't free software, I sorta doubt you did [04:54] ~/.xsession you mean under my home folder [04:55] i dont have that folder [04:55] i meant file [04:56] how do i get kwikdisk to startup [04:56] I just told you [04:57] i dont have ~/.xsession do i need to create one? [04:57] i see a .xsession-errors [04:59] i just checked i downloaded the deb file from google and added the application that way [05:01] then uninstall it the same way, or dpkg-reoconfigure it [05:02] anyone know anything about DRI on the xpress 200m? [05:02] what about kwikdisk?

For some reason, ever since I installed Gutsy, my wifi card (TEW-421PC B1) refuses to work with Kubuntu, or vice a versa. Now don't get me wrong- my card worked perfectly in Edgy and Feisty, and I have the latest ndiswrapper-commons and utils packages as well as the driver installed. Under KNetworkManager, it says "No active devices" and I can't even locate wlan0 as an interface. [05:17] Excelsior: what wlan chip does it use?

[06:09] well right now I'm fixing to install Dapper [06:09] yea [06:10] well for some reason my computer thinks I don't have opengl installed [06:10] MyNameIsURL: If anything, you'll have more trouble on Dapper, as it's an older version with less new features, but that might work for you. [06:10] dudeicles: Do you have a 3D enabled graphics driver installed? [06:10] well I did [06:10] MyNameIsURL: I can help you install nvidia drivers if you want [06:11] Kr4t05: check this out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45088/ [06:11] well let me get Dapper installed [06:12] that's what I believe shows me if opengl is installed. [06:12] 2 minutes then I'll burn the CD then I'll be offline for awhile while I reinstall [06:13] this kinda sucks [06:13] MyNameIsURL: Would yo mind pastebin your sources.list?

[06:25] sn00zer: You'll have to unpack it, cd into the folder, run ./configure, make and then sudo make uninstall. That's assuming the developer included an uninstall script. [06:26] ardchoille: i'm guessing this -> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. [06:26] means there's no uninstall script? [06:26] sn00zer: That's an accurate guess [06:26] crap... so now what? just delete the directory? [06:27] sn00zer: Or you could look at the make file and see where the files get copied to and rm them. [06:27] ok [06:27] sn00zer: What was the app? [06:27] hi, how do I add a folder to the /usr/local/ its telling me access denied? [06:27] virtualbox but i got it from the website not the repos [06:28] newguyss: Why do you want to add a folder there? What are you doing? [06:28] sn00zer: That would be a lesson to use the repos instead of compiling [06:28] I need to add geoserver and it needs to be there [06:28] ardchoille: any problem in doing so? [06:29] ardchoille: lesson learned [06:29] newguyss: you need to be root [06:29] newguyss: Rarely does the user need to add a folder in the system, that's usually taken care of by the package manager. What is telling you to add that folder? [06:30] wols_: I know:) iam admin, but how to browse as root? [06:30] man sudo [06:30] ardchoille: the instructions for installing geoserver says that: geoserver-*-bin.zip After downloading the binary distribution, uncompress _geoserver-*-bin.zip* file to /usr/local (Recommended). The file will expand the files into /usr/local/geoserver.

I have the zip file on my 3desktop [06:33] when I logged on, I got a series of dialogs telling me that "Konqueror requires root access" [06:33] MyNameIsURL: can you please stop whining already? [06:33] sorry [06:33] I just have no idea where this is coming from [06:33] newguyss: Is it .zip or .tar.gz or what? [06:34] ardchoille: file name is geoserver-1.6.0-RC1-bin.zip [06:35] newguyss: if you already have it unzipped, the you should be able to just go into the folder that holds the geoserver folder and do: sudo cp -r geoserver /usr/local [06:35] you know something ubuntu is the best system ever except for two things, 1- have to remember a million command, 2- kubuntu crashes alot [06:37] newguyss: 1 - Linux is more powerful and thus requires more knowledge, 2 - Try not to generalise. What is crashing? kde? konversation? konqueror? [06:37] ardchoille: sorry KDE [06:38] newguyss: So kde crashes.. requiring you to log out or reboot? [06:38] newguyss: X is probably your problem, i've had it crash alot but the actual system has only crashed to the point of reboot once on me [06:38] I've never had xorg crash on me, guess I've been lucky [06:38] ardchoille: by the way, Iam also getting everyone I know to use it, [06:38] newguyss: W00T! [06:39] sn00zer: the biggest problem I ever had was that I can to the computer and when I started it the screen was wiped, I could not see any thing, and finally had to format [06:41] ardchoille: what is WOOT!

[09:32] Where did I get the RT kernel? From ubuntu repository [09:32] * wols_ gives up [09:32] ru.ubuntu-archive.com, package name linux-image-2.6.22-14-rt [09:32] Sorry.

I didn't know [09:49] !universe [09:49] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [09:49] It's new for me, thanks [09:50] "Universe (community-maintained, i.e. not officially supported software) " [09:55] The reason that fglrx won't compile with the realtime kernel is because it was compiled with paravirtualization support enabled, which causes problems because flgrx is not GPL. [09:55] Recompile the kernel without paravirtualization support and it should work. [09:55] whoops [09:57] aceler: ^ [09:57] . [09:57] I have to recompile the kernel?

[11:00] I have reported the bug in launchpad but nobody has responded. :-( [11:01] WaltzingAlong: Yes. But notice the error message. It thinks the program is called "The"... [11:01] good [11:01] updates work again [11:01] :D [11:01] xst: sure. in gwenview change the external tool for the gimp from gimp-2.3 to gimp [11:02] xst: right mouse click the pic, external tools, configure external tools then find gimp, change it like i mentioned [11:03] xst: you could also use gimp-remote instead so new pictures will get opened in existing running instances of gimp [11:04] xserver is kde right [11:05] xst: the error message shows you the presentation name it has been given, not the command it is trying to execute (which is gimp-2.3 -n ) [11:06] WaltzingAlong: The problem seems only to occur when I specify gimp-remote as executable. "gimp-remote" can be launched from commandline just fine, however. Very strange. If I specify "gimp" as executable, it works fine [11:06] WaltzingAlong: No it is not gimp-2.3, but gimp-remote === icewater1an is now known as icewaterman [11:07] Aha [11:07] And the problem sees to be that gimp-remote doesn't understand the -n option [11:07] xst: gimp-remote but no other parameters other tahn [11:07] yes [11:08] than* the file to open (gimp -n but gimp-remote without the -n) [11:09] xst: -n specifies that gimp should start a new instance. gimp-remote is a way to use the running instance so -n makes no sense with gimp-remote. the program should respond "Make up your mind!" :D [11:15] In dolphin, I rightclick on an image and select Open With > Gimp Image Editor, but get the message: Service '/home/xst/.local/share/applications/gimp-2.2.desktop' is malformatted. [11:16] What to do? [11:17] Where do I modify the paths to the list of "Open With"-applications? [11:17] xst: with gutsy you have gimp 2.4, not 2.2. open with, other, find the gimp you wish to open [11:17] xst: otherwise in kcontrol / file associations [11:19] WaltzingAlong: I just did a distro upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy so isn't this a bug in the upgrade? [11:19] What does Joe Average do about this problem in general? Is he forced to use kcontrol too? [11:20] xst: perhaps the shortcuts should point to gimp rather than specific versions; otherwise these settings are stored under your personal settings [11:20] xst: you are the first i have seen here to bring it up but i suppose modifying the file associations is the way to go [11:22] xst: so previous versions should have pointed to 'gimp' rather than 'gimp-2.2'; i would not want the dist upgrade tool modifying my personal settings to fix issues with remaining references gimp-2.2 when gimp-2.4 is installed instead === laurent_ is now known as MudEater [11:24] WaltzingAlog: Inspecting the file associations more closely I can see that there are two gimp entries. One that just refers to "gimp" and one that refers to "gimp-2.2" [11:29] xst: gimp 2.4 is installed with gutsy. /usr/bin/gimp is merely a link to the installed gimp at /usr/bin/gimp-2.4 gimp-2.2 probably does not exist anymore on your gutsy [11:32] Anyone actually managed to get all buttons on a logitech MX518 mouse working?

[11:45] I set up my bluetooth headset after referring http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices [11:45] It works fine, except that when the track changes on amarok, the alsa device set to 'bluetooth' reverts back to 'default' and the track plays on my laptop speakers. I'm using kubuntu 7.10. I'm not sure what other details are required... [11:45] 1. Is there any way to set the 'stereo' field under the alsa plugin in amarok engine configuration settings to bluetooth permanently? [11:45] 2. Better still, can I set this for one session when I open amarok from terminal using some command line arguments? [11:45] 3. Can I set up some script to do this automatically by having some alias for amarok - amarok_bluetooth? [11:45] Thanks!

I mean, it doesn't popup anymore. thats convenient but I am trying to test something. can I log out of kdesu? [12:01] vbgunz: what happens when you execute kdesu [12:01] got it [12:01] kdesu -s [12:02] ActionParsnip: it appears kdesu now remembers you the way sudo does. for a limited time, you're able to repeat your kdesu commands but without the prompt [12:03] vbgunz: yeah man its pretty cool [12:03] heh, but trying to test something :) [12:03] vbgunz: same with sudo, as long as you type comands you dont need to repassword [12:04] vbgunz: then use su (may work not sure) [12:04] yeah, this is new behavior for kdesu in Gutsy [12:04] vbgunz: sudo had it in feisty [12:05] sudo yes, kdesu no [12:05] :) [12:05] vbgunz: oic [12:05] vbgunz: good to know [12:05] Is there a graphical kdesudo that gives the user a list of app to choose from (like gksudo)? [12:06] Well, rather than a list, the gui utility allowed the user to type in an app, similar to the Run dialog [12:07] ardchoille: kdesudo [12:07] ardchoille: try that [12:07] ardchoille: kdesudo is a grafical frontend to the sudo command [12:07] ActionParsnip: it gives errors when you don't imclude a command [12:07] ardchoille: not that i know [12:07] ActionParsnip: that doesn't work like gksudo [12:08] ardchoille: its just something i quickly googled [12:08] hmm, using kdesu how do you hide the command that you're actually executing? [12:08] it's quite a long command, very long, using -d does not hide it [12:09] vbgunz: kdesu -d ? [12:09] oh [12:09] Was reading from the man page [12:09] ardchoille: yeah, either kdesu -d -c OR kdesu -dc doesn't actually hide the command [12:09] kdesu/kdesudo are confusing [12:09] they seem to be identical [12:10] I am sure they're different but am used to kdesu [12:10] In Gutsy, kdesu is a symlink to kdesudo [12:10] on gutsy /usr/bin/kdesu points to kdesudo [12:12] is hiding a long command in kdesu possible? I thought -d would do it but it doesn't or I have it wrong :( [12:13] vbgunz: i think kdesu could do it but from what i know kdesudo cannot [12:14] :O [12:14] *not claiming to know everything* however, vbgunz :D [12:15] I believe you're right. if kdesu really does symlink to kdesudo, man kdesudo does not show any support for the -d option :( [12:15] hi [12:15] vbgunz: I think the man page may be outdated or wrong [12:15] i need help with my intel X3100 graphics card [12:15] video-out seems not to work... [12:16] is there something i have to activate to get it to run [12:18] vbgunz: However, /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib does hide the command [12:18] vbgunz: /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib long_command_here [12:18] hmm [12:19] ardchoille: you are my new applepie [12:19] nice find! [12:19] thank you! [12:19] yw [12:20] vbgunz: Found that with "locate desu | more" [12:20] heh, actually it doesn't hide the long command at all [12:20] you are no longer my new applepie [12:20] I take that back [12:21] :) [12:21] easy come easy go === elbing__ is now known as elbing [12:21] heh [12:22] vbgunz: Hides it here [12:22] ahh, I see what it is... kdesudo actually shows it twice [12:22] anyone here with a sli ready and working xorg.conf? [12:22] I don't mind the kdesu.distrib version at all. it is better. [12:23] again, you are my applepie [12:23] hehe [12:23] haha [12:25] ardchoille: you are not only my new applepie but you are now officially coolwhipped with a cherry on top [12:25] that does hide the command completely...

[13:21] hdd [13:22] sn00zer it's a 500gb external in four partitions [13:22] sn00zer the ext3 partiton is detected fine [13:22] hmm [13:23] sn00zer sorry i should say it's mounted okay [13:23] sn00zer as in automounted and so on [13:23] shinobi: i don't know what to tell you, i have my 500gb external in my fstab, its in 2 partitions one raw and one ntfs [13:24] could you paste bin your fstab so i could try adding my external drives to mine too, i guess that would help also to make the mount point static [13:26] shinobi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45117/ its on line 16 [13:27] you know, listening to fedora folk talking about yum vs apt... I think they don't fully grasp the arguement [13:27] Indeed [13:28] same when I hang out in solaris chatrooms [13:28] save they seem to have a chip on their shoulder [13:28] sn00zer thankyou [13:28] no problem [13:28] shinobi: did that fix it for you? [13:32] sn00zer i'm going to plug in something like that into my fstab on that xubuntu box and see how i go, i always thought the fstab line was gonna be more complicated than that, i'll adjust for vfat of course... [13:41] hey guys, using feisty and whenever i click "fetch updates" in adept-manager, it grabs a list and then crash's [13:42] i cant get to the next part of doing the dist upgrade :( [13:42] any ideas? === vit_ is now known as david08 === Wayne_31 is now known as shadowraven [13:47] has anyone experienced a problem with fish protocol in gutsy.. doesn't seem to want to connect to a remote host [13:47] its driving me nuts, as id love to update to gutsy and be done with it :) [13:47] adept-manager just dies after i click fetch updates - every time without fail [13:48] sailor, i kinda wish my update had failed.. [13:48] <_sahin_w_> NetersLandreau: Fish works for me, however I did a fresh install (as I always do). [13:48] sailor, imho just use apt -even if you get adept to work, it will still probably freeze at some point.. apt just works :) [13:48] how do you mean _sahin_w_? [13:49] NetersLandreau: ive done a sucsessful update to gutsy on another machine [13:49] pag: a whole dist upgrade? [13:49] <_sahin_w_> I mean I have no problem with fish. My installation a fresh install and not an upgraded one from feisty. [13:49] sailor: just use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:49] sailor, yup? why not? Adpet is just a graphical frontend after all. [13:49] sailor: in #ubuntu they are talking about how gutsy is killing CRT monitors [13:50] Can I automount my USB drives? [13:50] just something to think about before going through with it [13:50] tuxwulf: usually automount happens, automatically... [13:50] pag: ok, im not familar with doing a dist upgrade from shell. are there some instructions somewhere? [13:50] sailor, change every feisty to gutsy in sources.list and do " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [13:50] pag: righto [13:50] Lynoure: Yeah my flashdrives, it does, but not USB IDE drives [13:50] pag: ill take out 3'rd party repos first [13:51] sailor, *if* upgrade goes well, you should have a working system in an hour (depending on your internet connection though) [13:51] pag , sailor That's not the recommended update method, you'll miss apps that way [13:51] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Are these drives always connected to your machine? [13:51] ardchoille, oh... really? :O [13:51] _sahin_w_: No... [13:51] ardchoille: id use adept-manager but it keeps dieing on me :/ [13:52] pag: That will upgrade what you already have, not install apps that were new to Gutsy but weren't in Feisty. And, some folks report that method of upgrade breaks things. [13:52] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Hmmm. When I plug my usb drive into my system, Kubuntu simply offer to me a mount option trough a dialog. [13:53] ardchoille, oh. didn't know that. sorry. [13:53] sailor: Your best bet is to find out why adept is dying before you upgrade [13:53] _sahin_w_: ... Which version ...? [13:53] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: I know this is "half" automatic. ;-) [13:53] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Kubuntu Gutsy (7.10) [13:53] _sahin_w_: Half auto would be great already...! [13:53] * genii sips a coffee [13:53] ardchoille: yeah ive been looking for the past hour, keep finding bug reports on it, but not much else [13:53] _sahin_w_: ... ah... I am still on Feisty... [13:54] Did someone say coffee...? [13:54] ive removed my sources list file and re-created it etc: still it dies every time i click "fetch updates" [13:54] * genii hands tuxwulf a coffee as well [13:54] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: I have to say I didn't encountered any USB driver related problem on my system when I use Feisty. [13:55] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Did you check the syslog? I mean is your system relalize your usb disc? [13:56] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: One more note: Is your user in the plugdev group? [13:56] * tuxwulf thanks genii...! [13:57] has anyone else had problems with adept_manager crashing on clicking "fetch updates" and solved it? [13:57] _sahin_w_: syslog: Yes, heck. The system knows it gets plugged in [13:57] tuxwulf: anytime :) [13:58] sailor: Perhaps run it from a terminal and see if there is any error output? kdesudo adept_manager [13:58] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: And is your user a member of the plugdev group? [13:59] Is it possible to make boot up, and shutting down a little more verbose than just watching the progress bar? [13:59] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Ubuntu use pmount instead of usbmount to mount an external usb device. [13:59] like, showing which daemons are shutting down/starting [13:59] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: And some kind of security reason pmount only usable by the plugdeb group members. [14:00] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: So this is why I'm wondering about that. [14:00] _sahin_w_: I'll check, a moment.... [14:00] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Ok. [14:00] ardchoille: http://pastebin.com/d6d64860d [14:01] the last line is what comes up after it has gone through its normal list [14:03] _sahin_w_: Yep, he is member of plugdev [14:03] ardchoille: this is my sources.list file: http://pastebin.com/d69e556d3 [14:05] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: And what did you find in syslog? Did kubuntu assigned a device name to your device? [14:05] sailor: Well, the "Failed to open device" errors can be ignored [14:05] !baddevice | sailor [14:05] sailor: If you are receiving an error similar to "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168", it can be safely ignored. If you want to get rid of the error messages then please visit this page: http://seerofsouls.com/wiki/How-Tos/BadDeviceErrors [14:06] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: I'm going to plug my usb disc to the system and I will show you the messages. Maybe you can find some differences. [14:06] ardchoille: yeah thats ok, im not fussed about that, i just want to upgrade :( [14:06] sailor: But I don't know why you're having the crash. fwiw, the propsed and backports repos are not "official" and I have had them break apps on my computers. [14:06] _sahin_w_: Yes. The system assigned sdi. sdi1 for the filesys, it seems, and I can mount it by hand. === Shely is now known as iLeng [14:07] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Did you add /dev/sdi1 to the /etc/fstab? I hope you didn't. [14:08] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: I mean pmount won't work in case the device in the fstab. [14:08] _sahin_w_: > No, I did not edit any fstab or mtab or anything. [14:08] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Good. [14:09] ardchoille: ok thanks, yeah i have tried just about every combination of selection of repo's but no dice [14:09] it just doesnt want to do "fetch updates" [14:09] .. and stay alive [14:10] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Here's an example of a sucessful mount: http://pastebin.com/d6f119d1f [14:10] _sahin_w_: Checking ... [14:10] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Maybe you can find some differences. [14:11] ardchoille: anyways its 1am im dead thanks anyways but ill try here again in a few hours. Perhaps someone else may be awake by then to give me a hand [14:16] _sahin_w_: ... veeeery interesting... it seems that NetworkManager takes over to automount it ...? [14:17] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Well, I don't know the exact details. Is your log not contains these networkmanager things? [14:18] _sahin_w_: Precisely.. up to those NetworkManager msgs, all is the same. AFter that, nothing... [14:19] _sahin_w_: Well I can nmount it by hand, that is basically good enough ... [14:19] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Maybe try to use google and use these words: NetworkManager feisty usb mount [14:20] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: Maybe you can find something which is related to your problem. [14:20] hmm, how do I change the default office app in Kubuntu? [14:20] the editor wants staroffice as default rather than open office [14:20] _sahin_w_: Yeah, thanks... I am steps ahead....! [14:20] no idea why, but it's fine with me [14:20] <_sahin_w_> tuxwulf: No problem. [14:21] <_sahin_w_> Downix: You can chose what kind of application want to use for a specific file type. === iLeng is now known as Shely [14:22] <_sahin_w_> Downix: Right click on the file > open with other > chose you program and don't forget to mark "Remeber application for this file type" [14:23] let me check [14:23] (or in Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations) [14:23] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: And yes this the other way. [14:24] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: From the usabilty perspective I't a shame there is no way to set this from Dolphin like in Konqueror. [14:25] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: I mean Dolphin -> Settings -> ... [14:25] _sahin_w_: not really sure, but maybe the settings are there in the real Dolphin (KDE 4) [14:26] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: I hope so! ;-) [14:27] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: I have only minor experience with KDE4. I use it only for testing the actual shape of the KDE4. === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [14:27] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: However I'm waiting for KDE4 as a XMASS gift like a child. [14:27] :) [14:27] who isn't? [14:28] (besides the GNOME people of course :P) [14:28] got it [14:28] <_sahin_w_> Yes, I'm sure every KDE fanatic/fan/user does. [14:28] they are too [14:28] they want to know what cool features to implement next [14:28] now, his next issue, he wants to connect to a samba folder directly [14:28] well, the die-hard ones then :) [14:28] guess this means setting up nfs [14:28] nope. [14:29] NFS != samba [14:29] You can use smbmount and smbfs [14:29] or in KDE, you can do smb://server [14:29] that's the problem [14:29] we are smb://server'ing it, but he wants it to show up as a "drive letter" [14:29] Uhmmm... [14:30] do smbmount on login then [14:30] <_sahin_w_> Drive letter means permanent mount maybe in the linux world. [14:30] he's used windows too long [14:30] <_sahin_w_> I guess. [14:30] O.o [14:30] _sahin_w_: that would be my guess [14:30] _sahin_w_: some apps don't accept smb:// URLs, mostly because they're retarded [14:30] right, like Star Office [14:30] * Jucato knows a couple of Windows users who use LABELs instead of hard drive letters.. [14:30] Hi all, can someone help me get the volume icon back onto the desktop>? [14:31] 7.10 kde ubunto [14:31] <_sahin_w_> Yes, because these aren't kde application. [14:32] right [14:32] i have sound but its TOO loud.... I cant adjust it without a little help... [14:32] harry_: run K Menu -> Multimedia -> KMix [14:32] KOffice isn't up to snuff, but this guy found open office "too weak" [14:32] Downix, too weak for what? [14:33] sethk: no idea. I find it's more than suitable for me. [14:33] Im in kmix but where is the button to check for the icon on the toolbar? [14:33] Downix, I actually prefer it in many ways to m$ office. [14:33] <_sahin_w_> Downix: I have a descritption who can you create a permanent smbmount. [14:34] harry_, My memory is vague, but I believe you'll find it in the configuration dialog. [14:34] sethk: I do as well. Symphony is quite good as well. === sballard is now known as sballard_ === sballard_ is now known as sballard [14:34] _sahin_w_: I'm figuring it out. Just fustrating. Thankfully, I can ssh into his box and fix it from here [14:34] harry_: when you run it, it should already be in the system tray part of the KDE panel [14:34] Downix, haven't played with symphony [14:34] I dont see anything about config [14:34] <_sahin_w_> Downix: Ok. [14:34] ma cose?? [14:34] harry_, look for "control center" on the menu [14:35] sethk: it's Lotus-like [14:35] just "current mixer" [14:35] ma guarda sta gente se si diverte! [14:35] harry_: in KMix -> Configure KMix -> check the "Dock into panel" and "Enable system tray volume control" options [14:35] !it | sballard [14:35] sballard: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:36] current mixer then output input andswitches,,, there iusnt any control center\ [14:36] harry_: Settings -> Configure KMix [14:37] harry_: in KMix -> Configure KMix -> check the "Dock into panel" and "Enable system tray volume control" options [14:37] tomorrow kde4 rc1 is getting released.. still no kubuntu packages for kde4 beta4.. :S [14:37] harry_, you haven't found the control center. It definitely is there. [14:37] I know your being patient and I thank you for that but what I am saying is there isnt any settings tab [14:38] acemo: RC1 for tommorrow? [14:38] harry_: it's not a settings tab. the Settings menu! [14:38] emilsedgh: yep [14:38] harry_: File, Settings , Help.. at the very top. click on Settings -> Configure KMix [14:38] acemo: Tag or Announce? [14:38] KDE4 Beta 4 packages delayed because of Personal Package Archive build issues (Bug: #163716) [14:39] emilsedgh: tag was 14 november, tmr is announce [14:39] oh [14:39] when I open kmix all I see is Current mixer on top then output input and switches [14:39] (it's not like we intentionally didn't want packages to be available) [14:39] acemo: i cannot wait to see the announcement! [14:39] harry_: there are no menus? File menu, Settings menu, Help menu? [14:39] Jucato: i understand that, hope will go better with rc1.. ima go read that bug =) [14:40] Not in Kmix [14:40] harry_: press Ctrl+M in KMix [14:40] :) Now there is [14:40] <_sahin_w_> acemo: Meanwhile you can play with the KDE4 Live image for example. [14:40] build it from svn. not that difficult [14:41] ?? it is checked?? [14:41] <_sahin_w_> WaltzingAlong: Hmmm. What's the way to build from svn? [14:41] _sahin_w_: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version [14:41] now it is back!! THANKS for the help [14:41] <_sahin_w_> WaltzingAlong: Thanks! I will check it! [14:41] _sahin_w_: i know, but live cds are slow and wont give an impression of how the speed will be [14:42] _sahin_w_: will be trying out the live cds tho :) [14:42] <_sahin_w_> acemo: Yes, and you simply can't test the compizite features for example. [14:42] <_sahin_w_> acemo: I mean compozite. [14:43] Is there also a way to SEARCH the system from say the kmenu like,, dare I say it... Windows? [14:43] harry_: kfind ? and yes you can add that to the menu [14:43] _sahin_w_: composite aint that important.. its mostly just some fancy graphics [14:43] thx WaltzingAlong [14:44] <_sahin_w_> acemo: Yes, you are right. However there are some handy compozite features. [14:44] acemo: actually compositing does have some technical benefits beyond fancy graphics [14:44] <_sahin_w_> acemo: Ok, not some much... but there are some. [14:45] most important of which is the fixing of window drawing artifacts (like the "drag marks" when you move windows around) [14:45] harry_: right mouse click on the panel (kmenu) then panel menu/configure panel; here to menus where you can add a few more to the kmenu (like find, bookmarks, and recent docs) [14:45] Jucato: i said mostly, i know that kwin4 will have some benefits beyond fancy graphics, but still mostly its just fancy graphics =) [14:46] oh, and kwin4 is a kde4 game. :) [14:46] Jucato: Yes, i agree that is a small but extremely annoying thing [14:46] kwin4 != kwin 4... yeah it's strange.. [14:46] Jucato: (screen artefacts) [14:46] HELPFULL thx [14:46] * Jucato gives genii a mug of coffee before replacing artefacts with artifacts [14:47] <_sahin_w_> I have two whishes for KDE4: a way to esaily distinguish between the active/inactive windows and a kmail which handle perfectly the html based emails. [14:47] <_sahin_w_> html based email is it a must in my corporation. :-( [14:48] _sahin_w_: first wish is currently being discussed extensively [14:48] Jucato: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artifact_(archaeology) note it's not a typo :) [14:48] <_sahin_w_> I mean i have to use html formatted emails. I hate it. :-( [14:48] _sahin_w_: I presume you meant "distinguish" without using compositing [14:48] genii: my apologies :) [14:48] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: Exactly! [14:48] no mt. dew for the whole day.. kinda getting to my brain... [14:48] * genii steals the Mountain Dew! [14:49] er... make that 2 days... [14:49] _sahin_w_: it's a problem with Oxygen... they're working on it already :) [14:49] (it's not a kwin 4 issue) [14:50] <_sahin_w_> The only thing what I don't like in KDE4 this active/inactive thing witout the composite effects. === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [14:51] how to force a quit of application like the cntl alt del in windows [14:51] _sahin_w_: you can use a different windeco in the mean time :) [14:51] <_sahin_w_> So there is hope for some kind of solution about this problem, which is maybe bother someone esle too. [14:51] harry_: Ctrl+Esc [14:52] _sahin_w_: it bothers the devs themselves, so don't worry :P [14:52] harry_: ctrl+alt+esc then click on the window you wish to kill [14:52] Salut! [14:52] Il y a quelqu'un? [14:52] <_sahin_w_> Jucato: But I like the new windeco, this is modern and nice and [14:52] Bon jour. [14:52] WaltzingAlong: I was told that it has the effect of not really killing the process... [14:52] thx I should have guessed it would be less work than the Bill Gates revenge.. Just accidentally started email and it seemed like forever to load [14:52] WaltzingAlong: sometimes... [14:52] J'ai un petit souci avec le son, qqn sait m'aider? [14:53] !fr [14:53] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [14:53] * Jucato wonders if there's a !be too... [14:53] Jucato: may be true. guess it depends on the process to be killed or what it was doing when it froze. [14:53] Thank you all for the help goodday [14:53] Jucato: otherwise kill -s KILL pid i suppose [14:54] (which is provided by Ctrl+Esc, along w/ other signals) === paolo_ is now known as lay_off === lay_off is now known as faLUCE [14:55] Jucato: killing it through ksysguard? [14:55] ah ok [14:55] ksysguard --showprocesses actually (which is what Ctrl+Esc does) [14:56] sure the process table listing in ksysguard [14:57] yep [14:57] the --showprocesses launches only the process list [14:58] * WaltzingAlong performs WaltzingAlong system updates [14:58] ;D [15:00] En ,wo want to ask is there any students here? [15:00] lvjiabin: try on #kubuntu-offtopic ? [15:01] lvjiabin: unless you want recommendation for notekeeping software, or something :) [15:01] Oh!NO [15:02] Thank you [15:02] En ,I am a new to kubuntu [15:04] lvjiabin: Welcome, this is the Kubuntu support channel [15:04] lvjiabin: welcome to the #kubuntu community. [15:05] If I compile a binary on two different computers, shouldn't that binary be the exact same size on both computers? [15:05] Oh ！En ,who are you !Nice to meet you ! [15:05] Lynoure ,are you an engineer? [15:06] lvjiabin: currently, yes. [15:06] So great! [15:06] ardchoille: not necessarily. identical target machines? identical settings and optimizations? [15:07] WaltzingAlong: No, not identical. I was just wondering if the binary would be the exact same on both boxes [15:07] Lynoure ,can you tell me some software about electronic egineer [15:07] ardchoille: with the same settings and target machines, i would think so [15:08] So many bosses [15:09] kubuntu7.10ded [15:09] hi all [15:10] lvjiabin: I'm on a Debian system at the moment, but kubuntu might have these too: electric, linsmith, x10, vipec [15:10] i have an external usb drive, and it seems to mount automatically and it appears on the desktop, but when i try to open it i get this error: hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 [15:10] On ,thank you verymuch! [15:10] lvjiabin: but I'm not a circuitboard drawing kind, 'just' a systems engineer [15:11] Lynoure,I know ,you are great also!

As you can see, my english is not so fluent. Can anybody describe this situation for ubuntu Wiki?

[15:44] aceler, have you checked the ATI site for the recommended driver : http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [15:44] BluesKaj: yes, I installed this driver [15:45] And it works.

[15:46] Ubuntu Restricted Extras is a new way of getting common "restricted" codecs, etc. See !RestrictedFormats [15:46] !kubuntu-restricted-extras [15:46] BluesKaj: the problem was with RT kernel from ubuntustudio, not the generic one [15:46] uhoh [15:47] In order to install fglrx driver, I recompiled this kernel with no paravirtualization support. That's the trick. [15:48] you removed kernel support for that in order to install a video driver? overkill much? [15:49] aceler,well, that driver is also recommended for my ATI card , but it doesn't provide 3D or DRI like the older restricted driver , so I uninstalled the 8.43 and reverted to the older restricted driver cause it works , a bit clunky on google earth but it's the best for my setup === Simeon is now known as Ansaguy === Ansaguy is now known as ansaguy [15:50] BluesKaj: what is your card?

Some are lightning fast, others are just a tad slower than Firefox. [16:04] butter: i haven't had a floppy since 2003 [16:04] lol [16:04] i use cdrom and boot from it [16:04] And it doesn't seem to have to do with the elements (pictures, Flash, etc.) on the page.

[16:43] WaltzingAlong my desktop computer -.- it boots, but then the screen just turns black after kubuntu has booted [16:45] X314: seems like you may merely need to reconfigure X ; is there the recovery entry in grub still? you could select that, get to the prompt, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh to reconfigure X; also check the log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log looking for (EE) to explain why X did not start [16:46] WaltzingAlong well.. thats the thing.. I think it starts... it just isent sending any info out.. it reacts when I type in my password and press enter.. it thinks for about a minute then turns silent again.. but I cant really be sure.. [16:47] was after som major software update thingie yesturday, or the day before that i think === NDPTAL87 is now known as NDPTAL85 [16:47] X314: when you get to the grub screen where you can select which system to load (you may have to press ESC to see the list) you could make changes to the entry to disable splash and quiet so you see more output [16:48] okay.. I'll try that.. be back in 5 min or so.. [16:49] and the changes don't even need to be permanent. Grub allows one time modification of the command to boot.

[16:57] kwin* [16:58] WaltzingAlong: Yeah, thx :/ [16:58] Hope this can be fixed inside Kubuntu and not upstream. [16:58] LaSombra: so what do you mean? when compize --replace is launched, compize becomes the window manager, replacing any other window manager (ie kwin) [16:58] hmm.. 7.10.. isent that Gutsy..? [16:58] LaSombra: I'm guessing that the window decorations disappear on you. [16:58] LaSombra: what is there to fix? [16:59] X314: yes 7.10 gutsy gibbon [16:59] WaltzingAlong so my system has updated to gutsy, could that be why its not working..? it was 7.04 before [16:59] waylandbill: Sometimes. [17:00] you can't have kwin and compiz running at the same time [17:00] and why oh WHY would you not want it fixed upstream? [17:00] X314: sure could be something during the upgrade; had you used envy or automatix or installed the kernel modules manually for your video card [17:00] that's just... wow [17:01] WaltzingAlong: KWin should be used instead of emerald for example [17:01] oi [17:01] kwin is a window manager [17:01] compiz is a window manager [17:01] emerald is a window DECORATOR [17:01] kwin cannot be used interchangably with emerald. [17:02] LaSombra: you can't use kwin with compiz. compiz has window decorator that "emulates" kwin window decorations [17:03] WaltzingAlong hmm.. I dident do anything manualy.. I barely know what I'm doing at all most of the time -.- .. but well.. any advice on what to do about it? [17:03] LaSombra: but maybe you mean that there are some problems with compiz, like titlebars going missing [17:04] that's the most likely problem. [17:04] and it's not about kwin crashing (which it can't, since it can't be running, or at least shouldn't be, while compiz is being used) [17:04] X314: were you able to boot at least so you could log into the !terminal ? did it seem the distupgrade to gutsy went well? which kernel are you running (uname -a) [17:05] Hello!

[17:37] WaltzingAlong: thank you. [17:37] recently I was experiencing a problem with my kubuntu gutsy install hanging (hard-lock). After reviewing a number of log files (kern.log, syslog, messages, dmesg) it seems that maybe my sound driver (snd-hda-intel) was the culperit. I moved snd-hda-intel.ko out of it's original directory (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel) in order to supress it's loading. I want to re-enable my sound so I've returned the [17:37] ko file to it's original directory, but oddly enough kmix still shows no sound installed. Is there something I've missed? Is there a command to reconfigure sound? [17:37] zorglu_: kde-apps.org... :/ [17:37] Jucato: ok :) [17:37] WaltzingAlong I dont think I have root access anymore..

[17:38] X314: does the prompt show you normaluser@host or root@host? if normaluser, then you would need sudo like sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:38] WaltzingAlong it doesnt say anything.. just the _ before it said root@host [17:38] zorglu_: I'm a very minimal audio user... amarok is perfect for that... (except for 50% of the features I don't use) [17:38] zorglu_: xmms mpg321 [17:39] Jucato: i did. and i want to add stream in playlist and amarok make it hard/impossible. moreover their spam about their personnal choise of music bother me [17:39] hm? [17:39] Jucato: they have put their personnal choise of music in it and prevent people from removing it :) [17:39] as far as i know it is possible to add streams to a playlist in amarok [17:39] what spam? [17:39] what is your meaning of hackers ? [17:39] cant say that ive ever noticed spam. [17:39] Jucato: believe it or not, this is only because they like it. they dont even get funding for this :) [17:39] the radio streams? [17:40] Jucato: yep the dev choise of music that the user cant remove [17:40] zorglu_: that's what FOSS is mostly about... doing what you like/consider fun... specially if you dont' have funding [17:40] * Jucato dares not try remove because he likes some of those... [17:41] although I can't seem to understand why they'd be considered "spam"... [17:41] Jucato: well i got a different view of foss :) for me it is about empowering the user . but lets not argue :) [17:41] Hmm. I just added a stream to my playlist [17:41] WaltzingAlong I rebooted and now all the text shows up fine [17:41] but what about the stream problem? [17:41] X314: ok how about checking the X log [17:41] Jucato: the stream is renamed "1024" it is from di.fm and got displayed ok but only when not in playlist [17:42] grep -i "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:42] hm... ok... [17:42] what is your meaning of hackers ? [17:43] WaltzingAlong on less /var/log/Xorg.0.log I get no such file or directory [17:43] oh.. case sensitive apparently [17:43] interesting.. got it now [17:44] WaltzingAlong its open now. what am i looking for? [17:46] Jucato: ok i switched back to mplayer :))) [17:46] Jucato: thanks for your help [17:46] zorglu_: have you tried the mplayer frontends? [17:46] * Jucato is not sure if they support playlists though [17:47] Jucato: i found one for video. quite good and quite unknown too. it is called smplayer [17:47] mplayer http://www.di.fm/mp3/trance.pls <- this is my solution :) [17:47] it's not as unknown as you think :) [17:47] and it doesnt take 50mbyte :) [17:47] Jucato: oh good then because it is real nice. and i do watch a LOT of video :) [17:47] 50mbyte was about amarok [17:47] (thought we were talking about audio playlists though...) [17:48] Hmm cant get http://www.slayradio.org/home.php working in amarok. [17:48] Jucato: i will create a .m3u by hand and point mplayer to it :) [17:48] there it went. :) [17:48] zorglu_: so neither kplayer nor kmplayer worked for you? [17:49] !info smplayer [17:49] smplayer: complete front-end for MPlayer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.5.20-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 816 kB, installed size 2252 kB [17:49] C64 Tunes Streaming! gotta love it. [17:49] Jucato: i dunno kplayer. but no kmplayer didnt === will_ is now known as Avenstar [17:49] Jucato: just compare the IU of kmplayer to smplayer :) [17:50] hi all, [17:50] looks like adept has a bug, after update i'm getting a warning when installing something [17:50] is this a known issue? [17:50] Dr_willis: in c64 time we had some fun with "demo" one was a naked women and you had to put a wet finger on the serial port to make contact and make her come :)) [17:51] zorglu_, gotta love that. [17:51] Dr_willis: it was fun time :)atari st was fun too. with overscan and boot block :) [17:51] zorglu_: kmplayer was intended to be an embedded player for online/streaming content. the UI (specially the ones at the bottom) are optimized for that end. that it can function as a standalone player is an added feature (since you can opt to play a video externally) [17:52] does anyone get a warning using adept manager? [17:52] andy_123, there was a samba package issue over the weekend [17:53] oki, how to solve it? [17:53] Jucato: well i wrote a video player during the past 3months. and from my point of view, their UI is ununderstandable :) [17:53] Jucato: not the only project to get ultra complex/poorly organized ui tho [17:53] !smbbug [17:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbbug - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:53] !sambabug [17:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about sambabug - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:53] (by whose standards though... but anway...) [17:54] Jucato: vlc has many possibilities for example but the ui is poorly organized so most users are unable to get those possibilities [17:54] Dr_willis: it's gone (or supposed to be) === apol|work is now known as apol [17:54] Jucato, yea - i was just update/upgrading to check myself. :) [17:54] * Jucato doesn't use vlc... [17:54] zorglu_, it could be your servers havent updated yet. [17:54] I get really crappy sound in vlc.. [17:54] Dr_willis: adept complians that it cannot apply the changes. that there was a problem with downloading something [17:55] andy_123, could try updateing/upgrading from the terminal [17:55] ok ok in anycase thanks for your help guys :) [17:55] will try that... [17:55] ok [17:55] if it mentions somthing about samba package not found its the samba bug. Should be getting fixed soon aa all the servers [17:56] ok [17:56] !gutsy [17:56] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu.

[18:04] harry_: Ctrl+M [18:04] that one? [18:04] wait what toolbar? [18:05] the main desktop tool bar on the bottom of the screen [18:05] X314: look in /var/log/Xorg.#.log (replace # with the latest number for the most recent log) and look for EE lines [18:06] It still is not there??? Help please [18:06] harry_: ah, that's a panel, and the name is kicker (the kde panel). try this; press Alt+F2, type in "dcop kicker kicker restart" [18:07] When you plug in a usb stick, it automatically gives a list of options...I selected one and said remember this, but now I want to change it. Do you know how? [18:07] Jucato and if there are no (EE) lines? [18:08] It shows up for a brief .05 seconds and disappears [18:08] X314: once everything turns black after boot, press Ctrl+Alt+F1, login to the command line, type "startx". if it throws you back, there should be some error messages [18:08] harry_: did you recently add an applet to it? [18:08] harry_: sounds like one of the applets is crashing [18:09] :( [18:09] JohnFlux: or one of Kubuntu's most annoying kicker bugs :/ [18:09] not recently... This morning I added [18:09] hiding and relocating itself [18:09] Jucato okay. trying [18:09] New to this ubunto stuff and I like it but it is a bit frustrating [18:10] harry_: Alt+F2, "kcontrol" then, in the list at the left of the window, go to Desktop -> Panels [18:10] harry_: I'd be frustrated too :( [18:10] harry_: you could delete the config file: rm .kde/share/config/kickerrc and restart X ? [18:10] * Jucato scratches his head... [18:10] harry_: do what Jucato suggests first though [18:11] JohnFlux: yours is easier, but he doesn't need to restart X does he? [18:11] HAHAHA yea, i've been doing a lot of that lately [18:11] ;) [18:11] caris_mere: System Settings -> Notifications -> Storage Media Notifications [18:11] Jucato: thanks === makc is now known as smakc [18:12] ah... It is back... all I did was to change the pixel size a bit and apply.. there she is.. THANKS [18:12] * snowdonke1 snowdonkey [18:12] Is there some kind of virus scanning soft in linux?? [18:13] harry_, you need to scan your windows partitions for viruses? :) [18:13] !antivirus | harry_ [18:13] harry_: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [18:13] theres tools that can do that. [18:13] !virus [18:13] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [18:13] Jucato fatal server error: server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.x0-lock and start again.

[18:13] ok thx [18:13] Hallo zusammen. Wo finde ich bitte den deutschen Kubuntu channel ? [18:14] !de | georg [18:14] georg: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [18:14] X314: oh... I"m clueless :/ [18:14] Danke thanks [18:14] Jucato well thanks anyways. :) [18:15] what is your meaning of hackers ? please say your word [18:15] what about a Firewall such as Firestarter.. How do I know it is working other than locking and unlocking it?? [18:16] check the wikipedia for hackers [18:16] harry_, try some of the portscanning web sites perhaps. [18:16] of coruse most services are disabled by default. so even with it OFF they may not find much [18:16] * genii slides Dr_willis a large coffee [18:17] Its about time for me to head to work also. :() [18:17] me me me!! I want some!! me!! mine mine mine!! [18:17] thx 4 the help folks [18:17] * Jucato jumps up and down in front of genii [18:17] * Dr_willis injects Jucato With an double-expresso [18:17] yay!!! [18:18] Dr_willis: I don't think he needed it [18:18] * Jucato somersaults to and fro [18:18] oh yes I did!! I did!! I did!! I did!! [18:18] Hmm... recently an update for flac came out via apt. Ought I re-encode all my FLACs now? [18:18] They guys i work with Forbid me to have Coffee after 9:00 :) [18:18] lol [18:19] kaminix, i doubt if you will gain anything from it. [18:19] kaminix: no. updates only affect the software, not their output [18:19] unless it has a new feature that you want to take advantage of that will affect the quality/size of the files you encoded... [18:19] I see... no better compression or anything? [18:20] (see last comment) [18:20] Jucato needs the Robusta beans for his coffee. :) [18:20] Yeah... well... does it? [18:20] koffee beans would be enough [18:20] kaminix: you'll have to check the changelogs for that (but most probably not) [18:21] Okay :) [18:21] Thanks. :) [18:21] * genii hooks Jucato up to a caffeine drip [18:22] kaminix: if you want to see the changelog you can do "aptitude changelog " (replacing "" with the actual package name) [18:22] stdin! [18:22] Jucato!!!!!!11.1 [18:22] Jucato: I got called away to some work, only now saw your antics LOL [18:22] lol [18:22] ANYONE: Why does Adept will not let me search/install new packages (like firefox)? I'm used to Synaptic manager.... [18:23] jmcnerney: 1st guess is that your sources are disabled? [18:23] it does... if you're not experiencing that, there's something wrong on your end... unfortunately... [18:24] Disabled? I just did a fresh Dapper Drake install, no modifications. My last build was ubuntu (not kubuntu) and I had no problems. [18:24] jmcnerney: either that or you've selected to filter only installed packages from the filter list at the top [18:24] jmcnerney: if you installed with no active network (internet) connection then the sources will be disabled by default [18:25] YES! I did install offline. How do I reactive sources? [18:25] eg: "re-activate" [18:26] in adept, Adept -> Manage Repositories [18:26] there you can check the disabled ones to re-enable them [18:26] (if I remember the dapper interface correctly) [18:27] right-click on the lines to enable [18:27] and remember to click the apply button after [18:28] Sounds right...I'm enabling now.....THANKS in advance (I hope)!!!! [18:32] exit [18:35] * Minataku meows at Jucato :3 [18:35] * Jucato purrs [18:35] lol [18:35] lol [18:35] quiet today? [18:36] very... [18:36] that's good [18:37] * genii tries to enjoy the quiet [18:37] Was reading back, this guy had a problem with metwork being disabled [18:37] being quiet in long time means kubuntu is getting better :P [18:37] emilsedgh: Yes, exactly [18:38] or people leaving :( [18:38] hello [18:38] we can't tell.. all we now is "Konversation terminated" [18:38] :( [18:38] I tried to install with wireless card, it was not working so my sources where disabled as well [18:38] We've still got 387 users in here [18:38] Well, 386 [18:38] Minataku: Yup :0 [18:38] Jucato: no, im sure kubuntu is rising [18:39] Which is a little above average, I think [18:39] 385.. [18:39] 384 [18:39] pietjephuck: There is also of course source-o-matic [18:41] Minataku I will now stop hogging the off-topic channel and take my problems here in hope for solutions! [18:41] anywho, blackscreen after boot. [18:41] boot of kubuntu gutsy [18:42] genii: I plugged in the wired connection and enabled the sources [18:42] has been so since I (out of no better knowlage) upgraded to gutsy [18:42] Good :0 [18:42] hi there [18:42] Hm [18:42] lol [18:43] You should get better help in here anyway ^^ [18:43] hopefully [18:43] I'm having troubles with kde after enabling compiz-fusion following the kubuntu documentation. kde-window-decorator keeps crashing [18:43] Just looking forward to the day when there will be native drivers for all cards [18:43] tried disabling splash? (didn't read the backlog in -offtopic because I'm lazy) [18:44] this is the error message I'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45059/ [18:44] Minataku Is there any "simple" (I have realised that nothing really is simple per say in linux) to restore the old version? [18:44] How can I prevend these errors / crashes? [18:45] Tecumseh: prevent them? that's easy, don't enable compiz [18:45] lol [18:45] ok, that's obvious... [18:45] Tecumseh: or maybe try with emerald, but that not exactly "less buggy" [18:45] to obvious [18:46] * stdin notes there _is_ a reason kubuntu didn't ship with compiz... [18:46] What reason is that? [18:46] because it doesn't work :p [18:46] compiz doesn't like KDE apparently [18:46] Well, apparantly, for a lot of people, nothing does [18:46] from what I'm seeing now is that kwin is starting at bootup, then compiz kills it and uses kde-window-decorator wich then crashes. Is there an option to not start kwin but start compiz to start with? [18:47] The Compiz losers are probably in league with GNOME to create some kind of lockin [18:47] Tecumseh: that's not the problem, that's what supposed to happen (and it doesn't kill kwin, it asks it to stop managing the windows and exit) [18:47] I wouldn't put it past GNOME, I mean, they have to get users somehow despite how GTK sucks [18:48] :P [18:48] Tecumseh: try removing the startup script if you made it [18:48] I'm joking of course [18:48] Tecumseh: there's an env var you can export in your .bashrc to set kde's decorator to, say, emerald insead of kwin [18:48] But I DO think that GNOME and GTK suck [18:48] jussio1: no startup created yet [18:48] Tecumseh: found it, export KDEWM="compiz --replace" [18:49] you don't need the --replace if it's set in KDEWM [18:49] stdin: makes sense [18:49] I doubt very much they will stopp that low [18:49] Yup, only if you're flipping them on-the-fly etc [18:52] let's see if that worked, restarting X [18:52] * stdin bet's it still crashes [18:54] hmmm, that didn't work as planned [18:55] kde-window-manager still crashed leaving me with X started without a functional wm [18:55] Sorry i am italian i have a problem: i have manually installed my modem (USB) this is alcatel speed touch now i am connect to the internet but i can't use protocol http please help me ! ! ! === antoniac is now known as warlock [18:57] Tecumseh: didn't think it would, try with emerald instead. make a script in ~/bin (or somewhere) with something like "compiz --replace & emerald --replace &", set it +x then set KDEWM to that script. that should stop kde-window-decorator from starting === warlock is now known as warl0ck === warl0ck is now known as war10ck [18:58] didn't have emerald installed yet, trying with it first [18:58] how come i get this error when trying to get updates There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. [18:58] server irc.azzurra.net [18:59] Jay-Oh-En: could be a number of reasons, only way to tell is to use apt-get and look at the messages [19:00] ok stdin [19:00] Jay-Oh-En: and if you want to show us the error messages, use the pastebin (link in topic) rather than flooding the channel :) [19:01] ok [19:02] stdin: it was a problem with Configuration file `/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc' [19:02] * jussio1 wonders what hardware Tecumseh is running... [19:03] Jay-Oh-En: try posting the whole log from "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to pastebin [19:03] stdin: ok :] [19:03] stdin: i did this sudo dpkg --configure -a and nothing happend [19:04] Jay-Oh-En: hmm, ok, post "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to pastebin [19:04] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [19:05] i guess im good right? [19:05] looks fine [19:05] ok, try adept then [19:05] ok kool thanks stdin [19:05] stdin: how do i make programs not use kdewallet [19:06] Hello [19:06] Is kubuntu compatible with wpa and vpn? Would knetworkmanager do the job? [19:07] Jay-Oh-En: you'd have to disable kwallet all together as far as I know. press Alt-F2 and put in "kcontrol". then go to Security & Privacy -> KDE Wallet and un-check "Enable the KDE wallet subsystem" [19:08] !wpa [19:08] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:08] debian: I'm pretty sure it can do vpn just fine, but for wpa you need to install and setup wpa-suplicant [19:09] or whatever it's called... [19:09] jussio1: searching for the specs, at least it's a amd 64-bits dual 4000+ [19:09] Tecumseh: which gfx card? [19:10] hmm [19:10] ok [19:10] so when I disable a restricted driver, it really means removing its package? [19:11] Editing conf files or grapichal? [19:12] debian: I don't know, I've never used it. but it's explained in those wifi docs [19:12] Ok [19:12] Hope wpa is easy [19:13] hagabaka, no it's not removed , just not used [19:13] My school has a natzi policy against linux. So I'm just going to use it. [19:13] mm, tried running age of mythology with wine, AoM got some error, so wine closed but now my resolution is something in the lines of 800x600 instead of 1280x1024 [19:13] jussio1: onboard NVIDIA GeForce 6100 with shared memory [19:13] how to get it back? [19:14] Dragonath: logging out and back in should restore it [19:15] any other easier way that doesn't involve logging out? [19:15] it sounds kind of crude :P [19:17] Dragonath: you can _try_ just switching displays (Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Ctrl-F7), but that' may or may not work [19:17] Tecumseh: so what exactly happens when it crashes? does it just loose your window borders? [19:17] well I tried that and it didn't, logging off and on again then, thanks [19:17] What's better WPA or WEP [19:18] wpa is more secure, but it depends what you mean by "better" [19:18] Jay-Oh-En, WEP is easily broken. WPA is better for security but requires more overhead [19:18] jussio1: It loses windows borders, storage media is not mountable (dvd's, usb flashdrive's, etc) and the panel is unreadable (scrambled somehow) for a while [19:18] Tecumseh: have you tried sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [19:19] yep,,, [19:19] ok [19:19] Tecumseh: Im at a loss then [19:19] me 2 [19:19] Thanks for the answers :] i was looking for More security towards my Winblows xp computer (it's my dads) [19:20] and I was thinking that linux in general was ready for the big masses, not that I'm counting myself to the masses anymore. [19:20] so people can't hack in and get passwords and stuff like that [19:20] or use my internet connection [19:21] Tecumseh: can you paste your xorg.conf? [19:21] Jay-Oh-En, IMHO, use WPA, disable SSID broadcasting, and use your wifi router's MAC filter [19:21] sure, just a sec [19:23] Yorokobi: maybe you can get me a guide for a wgr614v5 netgear router? [19:23] jussio1: Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45140/ [19:23] where's the irc for kubuntu support, is this it? [19:23] I'm in windows so I can't connect [19:24] you just did... [19:24] this is it? [19:24] yep [19:24] ok, Xserver doesn't initialize [19:24] Tecumseh: If I see correctly, your problem is that you are running the nv driver instead of the nvidia one [19:24] Jay-Oh-En, http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wgr614v5.asp [19:25] Thanks Yorokobi :] [19:25] Zombocom: we could use a little more info if we are to help you... [19:25] I get to the logon screen in the command prompt thing and the screen flashes, but then it goes back into the command prompt [19:25] Zombocom: which version of kubuntu, which gfx card? [19:26] I'm using an hp pavillion dv 6433 with an intel graphics media accelerator 950 [19:26] Zombocom: can you give us a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [19:26] jussio1: kubuntu 7.10 [19:26] Tecumseh: oh, wait, i did see incorrectly... lol [19:26] jpatrick: I'm in windows which doesn't have ext2 drivers [19:27] jussio1: I did enable the restricted drivers [19:27] Zombocom: cant you install the ext2 driver? [19:27] Zombocom: http://www.fs-driver.org/ === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [19:31] jpatrick: that program appears not to run in windows vista which is what I'm running right now [19:31] Zombocom: drat [19:32] what do you do when you get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED when trying to add a windows network printer? [19:32] jpatrick: I just tricked it [19:32] excellent [19:32] jpatrick: it works now [19:32] I had it all set up before, but when I installed the new kubuntu I lost all those settings. === boualem is now known as boualemo [19:34] jpatrick: it has been installed [19:34] Zombocom: kubuntu should be in my computer now [19:34] jpatrick: the drive isn't showing up though [19:34] Zombocom: the dreaded restart? [19:34] probably [19:34] damnit [19:35] would it be easyer to reinstall kubuntu?
