[00:01] hd video card? [00:01] yes [00:01] Video Card Capable of HD Content [00:01] Video out can do 720P [00:01] well, is it a n Ati or nvidia one? [00:02] nvidia (EVGA) [00:02] How can I enable the suspend/hibernate buttons in KDE on a desktop? [00:02] there is 2 ways mrdigital [00:02] I bought a dvd how do I get it to play? I have tried mplayer and vlc so far. [00:02] both utterly fail [00:02] and those are the ones I resort to last after all else fails [00:02] LinuxReign: explain [00:03] Firehazard17 have you installed the codecs? [00:03] the first one is installing the nvidia-glx-new package through Adept [00:03] Yes? [00:03] lemme check [00:03] ok [00:03] the second one will be the best on my opinion [00:03] do you know the package name? [00:03] can you pm me the steps so i can copy n paste into email [00:03] i'm trying to remember [00:04] I usually use kaffeine and when I put a dvd in it automatically installes the required codecs to play dvd's [00:04] mrdigital, I would strongly suggest yuo check this site, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [00:04] !envy [00:04] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [00:04] don't use it [00:04] !dvd [00:04] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:05] there is it [00:05] :-) [00:05] :p [00:05] stdin: dont use what? [00:05] i'm getting better results with envy over the binary package so far, that's my opinion [00:05] I hardly ever use IRC, I keep forgetting about those commands [00:06] mrdigital: envy, the script that LinuxReign's link pointed to [00:06] hi all [00:06] i am not getting a splash screen when i boot up [00:06] just a black screen until boot is finished [00:06] then i am in the system login screen just fine [00:08] so how do i get HD in kubuntu?

[00:12] I wouldn't know, I don't know menu.lst by heart [00:12] bye [00:13] yup :D [00:13] but it doesn't matter what menu.lst looks like, if you can't install grub then it will not do any good anyway [00:13] can someone show me his entry for ubuntu 7.10 in grug conf? [00:13] dmcglone: I will use mu current grub for booting ubuntu [00:13] dunno why it failed at the installation [00:13] Ok i'll paste mine on pastebin [00:13] ok, thx [00:15] !pastebin [00:15] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

What problems is it causing? [00:20] gausus: what kind of problem? [00:20] suddenly knetworkmanager had stoped to show any wireless networks available [00:20] kwifi still shows all of them [00:20] user_, not in the xorg.conf [00:21] just put the pound sign in front of what you want to edit out [00:21] breaks my synaptics driver [00:21] iwconfig eth1 scan does it too [00:21] kam: even by commenting it out "#": ???

[00:28] hi [00:28] user_, did you see that oddness [00:28] no, but it seems it must be fixed with gutsy or something [00:28] it happens less frequently [00:29] user_: use the recovery mode to fix it [00:29] kam: what dmcglone said. Also, that is the *longest* xorg.conf i've ever seen! [00:29] SR-latch: use gutsy and it is a permanent problem for me ?

[00:35] user_: not yet [00:36] mrdigital, the email has been sent [00:37] gausus: stupid question, but have you manually turned off your wireless and then turned it back on? Sometimes Knetwork Manager is fickle [00:38] there is NO "stupid" questions [00:38] is there a possibility that power saving laptops automatically turn it off? [00:38] that was my initial thought on the matter [00:39] cause sometimes my wifi card is not recognized from other software like ethereal [00:39] trying to install kubuntu on my sata drive as master. It stops at booting after installed. the line is: sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 [00:39] and doesnt continue anymore [00:39] and it lists it like disconnected or something [00:40] user_, im trying to do that now. the problem is the generic mouse driver from the stupid auto'd default mouse is overruling the touchpads settings. the ps2 emulation mode makes the tap option not work [00:41] thats why i need to remove its auto creation [00:41] LinuxReign: what about tv-out ? [00:41] kam: i'm digging around on this one... i haven't seen this before. Did you upgrade from an older version of kubuntu? [00:42] ok, mrdigital, once u have that installed just open a konsole and type sudo nvidia-settings [00:42] there u should be able to configure the tv-out thingy [00:42] Hi, what is the correct way of installing skype on an amd64 system?

I can't find one for Gutsy. I msg'd ubotu but it just leads to a release announcement. Am I missing something? [00:45] !info kicker-kickoff [00:45] Package kicker-kickoff does not exist in gutsy [00:45] NickPresta: It may not have been added to the Gutsy repos [00:45] i had to install it from getdeb or kde-look.org or something similar last time. My search results aren't helping too much [00:46] I don't remember kickoff being in the repos for Feisty either [00:46] !search kickoff [00:46] Found: kickoff [00:46] !kickoff [00:46] Kickoff is a new KDE menu replacement developed by openSUSE. See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2331 [00:47] !info kickoff [00:47] Package kickoff does not exist in gutsy [00:48] actually, I think it's in Treviño’s repos [00:50] user_, Im gonna restart real quick brb, and thanks for all the help so far jik x doesnt come back [00:56] alright, here is another question. For some odd reason whenever I use firefox or konquerer's google search tool, it calls google.es. How can make it call google.com? Why is it choosing that anyways? [00:57] treelizard, u have to open Firefox and click on Edit [00:58] go to Preferences [00:58] on the Main tab [00:59] on the Home Page field replace whatever is there with www.google.com [00:59] click on Close and u r done [00:59] linuxreign: that will set your homepage to google.com, but how does that reconfigure the built-in searching preferences on the menu bar? [01:00] treelizard: please let us know if that works [01:00] hmm, but I don't want my home page to be google. [01:00] well [01:01] All I want is when I search in google search bar not to call google.es. [01:01] type whatever u want to be your home page [01:01] ah [01:01] treelizard: try this --> in firefox, click on the "G" at the google search. Then click "manage search engines" [01:01] ok [01:02] treelizard: delete google, and then "restore defaults' [01:03] treelizard: see if that gets you back into regular google === bglackin is now known as BMG [01:04] nope, still uses google.es [01:04] treelizard: ok, hang on [01:04] no problem. [01:08] treelizard: firefox - Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Languages ... which language is listed first? [01:10] hi i'm sort of new to kubuntu and just wondered if anybody could help me out with configuring input methods? I installed skim and anthy [01:10] treelizard: also, are you using a proxy, or would there be any reason your ip would be listed as from a spanish country? [01:12] 3n-us [01:13] sorry [01:13] en-us [01:13] I'm not using any proxys that I know of. [01:13] I'm living in Canada, [01:13] and if you check my ip, it seems pretty canadian. [01:14] treelizard: this is quite the conundrum :/ [01:14] yup, saw that treelizard :) ...welcome to cancksville on kubuntu :) [01:14] thanks. :) [01:14] Yeah, this is driving me nuts. [01:15] err canucksville [01:15] me too, now [01:15] I'm having all sorts of crazy problems with kubuntu right now. [01:15] treelizard: like what else... maybe i can help you with *something* [01:15] well, the wireless isn't working. [01:15] firefox doesn't refresh pages all the time. [01:16] how do i look up my default gateway adress....please dont say ifconfig [01:16] I don't know how to set up 32 bit programs like skype [01:16] (the last one is my fault for installing amd64 version.) [01:16] how do i look up my default gateway adress....please dont say ifconfig? [01:16] treelizard: i was just going to say that the 64-bit version has a lot more bugs [01:17] System Settings -> Network Settings -> Routes [01:17] treelizard: but your wireless should still work... does Knetworkmanager run on startup? [01:17] Has anyone used libgtk with kdevelop who can walk me through a very simple 'hello world' app? I opened a fresh gtk project, and it won't even compile with the base code in it :/ [01:17] I think so. [01:17] It sets up the wired network up fine. [01:17] treelizard: what do you see when you right-click it? does it see your wireless ssid? [01:18] It is a new laptop, with Broadcom BCM94311M [01:18] Oh, I don't even get that far. [01:19] treelizard: do you have the Knetworkmanager icon in the kicker panel (task bar)? [01:19] right, I do. [01:19] so right click it. [01:19] what does it say? [01:19] Knetworkmanager [01:19] followed by stuff about wired connection. [01:19] no listing for wireless? [01:20] nope. [01:20] treelizard: i know older versions of kubuntu had trouble with broadcom chips... hang on [01:20] In the options, there is a comment about disabling wireless. [01:20] treelizard, install ia32-libs [01:20] I'm using gutsy, for the record. [01:21] installing [01:21] <---amd 64 gutsy , mostly everything works ok, not using wireless tho [01:22] BluesKaj: What type of computer do you have? [01:23] installed [01:23] compaq presario SR 1734X , nothing fancy cpu=venice 3200+ [01:23] treelizard: if you run " lspci " in terminal, what's the output?

Does anyone have similar hardware and know where to get the proper drivers??? [01:29] I searched for it on ubuntu forum, [01:29] and there was a howto on making it work.

[01:45] ok [01:46] shinkamui: i don't know much about eraserpoints (i'm a simple person).... [01:46] user_: and the retardation of this synaptics driver is that it seems to use auto-dev automatically and it detects my touchpoint, but not the stick, or it doesn't care about the stick anyway, so I can't explicitly specify the correct event [01:46] user_: well, I appreciate your help, its been humongous. Now that Im on an actual pc with a keyboard, I think I can do better research [01:46] user_: just wanted to come back and let you know that you were a huge help and thanks [01:47] shinkamui: thanks... i wish i could help more [01:47] shinkamui: you can always check the kubuntu forums or #ubuntu [01:47] user_: It's already the latest [01:48] draik: type " frostwire " in terminal . Look for any problems [01:48] Shouldn't I have picked a different java from the list? [01:48] treelizard: still not showing anything under "wireless"/ [01:48] ? [01:49] draik: not necessarily, you can install from terminal [01:49] draik: you tried installing version 1.6, and it says you already have it? [01:49] user_: I entered the command you provided and it says it's the latest [01:50] draik: hmmm... lemme see [01:50] draik: did you try starting frostwire from terminal [01:53] user_: I got it working. I had to choose a different java "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [01:53] I chose /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java [01:53] draik: cool... now does frostwire work? [01:53] 有中文的朋友吗?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [01:54] user_: Yes [01:54] hi stuffcorpse [01:54] hi [01:54] draik: awesome. it's good to fix stuff on your own! [01:55] user_: I'll let you know when I do that without anyone's help. Thank you user_ [01:55] draik: np - i've talked to you before (im usually "ignoramus") [01:55] user_: Case and point. I've been needing help since day one [01:56] help with emerald please [01:56] draik: i'm new too (3 months maybe)... i learn by screwing up, and fixing it, or getting help to fix it [01:56] i see the themes i click on them but i dunno how to instal them [01:56] user_: I've been using Kubuntu since 6/1/06 with the initial release of Dapper Drake [01:57] draik: then you've learned... "google is your friend!" [01:57] :) [01:57] The interesting thing is that I joined at an ironic time (Drake/Draik) [01:57] user_: I've learned this much... http://www.tinyurl.com/2c9np [01:57] #emerald [01:57] oops, I forgot to set myself "away". sorry. [01:58] so anyone know what would make scons not see my python2.4-dev ? [01:58] draik: haha! ain't it the truth? [01:58] user_: Yup [01:58] an why i wouldent have a python-config [01:58] Goes to show that I've got that link shortened for a reason :P [01:58] draik: yup... it definitely helps. I like the personal attention you get in IRC, though [01:59] draik: like when i couldn't get sound working - because i had it on 'mute' XD [01:59] user_: Nothing beats real-time help [01:59] user_: I think I remember that [01:59] draik: yeah, not that long ago... I've learned a lot since then [02:00] draik: like check for the basics first [02:00] draik: in my defense, i had kubuntu for like 2 weeks, and was still using my winxp boot most of the time... i didn't know how to do anything [02:01] user_: It's rather interesting the way I got involved. I asked around for what Linux distro to use for a beginner and someone mentioned Kubuntu. So here I am [02:01] I woke up one morning and decided then and there that I was going to be a Linux user. [02:02] I guess I reached the age of reason [02:02] draik: that's exactly how i got here... it's actually pretty true. I happen to be a Windows guru (on 98 and above anyway), but I finally came to a realization [02:02] draik: but now i'm like a jehovah's witness with it. I'm pretty obnoxious. Especially when my parents call for "tech support" [02:02] "Install Linux!" [02:03] i decided to try debian based system after years of using slackware [02:03] viruses? Install linux! Spyware? install linux! dog crapped on the carpet? install linux! [02:03] user_: I work as a Technical Support representative [02:03] slav3_kitten: slackware is way too complicated! [02:04] draik: on Windows systems? [02:04] i liked slackware alot [02:04] to be honest thou [02:04] user_: Yup. Supporting member's websites [02:04] slav3_kitten: people say it hasn't evolved much lately, though... [02:05] draik: windows is ok for certain things, but i really like the freedom and customizability of linux [02:05] user_ it still works flawlessly on my gear like 166mhz CF-25 toughbooks an stuff [02:05] user_: EXACTLY! I love this freedom [02:05] slav3_kitten: with or without a gui? [02:05] slackware + fluxbox was my poision [02:05] figured i'd try kde [02:06] an ubuntu [02:06] once i get over this hell i'm in i'm guna go with xfce [02:06] kde is kinda fat [02:06] Weird.... I can't enter any text into Frostwire [02:06] slav3_kitten: then use older xfce - the newest version is not much faster than kde [02:07] slav3_kitten: as linux becomes more commercial, it gets more bloat [02:07] yea i know [02:07] my hardware dosent get any better [02:07] How do I add an app to Katapult? [02:07] best system i have is 800mhz panasonic CF-28 512megs [02:08] ram, 30gig hd [02:08] draik: with your frostwire problem, trying typing in Chat, and then anywhere else [02:09] It can't [02:09] slav3_kitten: you'd be totall crippled on windows [02:09] draik: hmmm [02:09] user_: I closed it and opened it again [02:09] It's all good [02:09] acutally no, that box still runs win2k well an all my development software on it [02:11] draik: good stuff [02:11] slav3_kitten: do you purposely use ancient hardware? [02:12] (just curious) [02:12] user_: Oh yeah! :) [02:12] i use what i can afford and lasts [02:12] i cant afford a new fully rugged laptop [02:12] so i use an old on [02:12] e [02:12] slav3_kitten: yeah, i have 3 computers, but they're all older and i only bought one brand new [02:12] and ancient would be my first computer which was 16mhz [02:13] 16mhz! [02:13] anyone know much about the synaptics driver? [02:13] xorg always seems to use auto-dev to set my synaptics device instead of what I set manually in xorg.conf [02:13] i have never bought a brand new laptop [02:13] new laptop smell is the bestest [02:13] and never a preassembled system [02:13] so I set "device" "/dev/input/event2" and Xorg.0.log shows that that same device was configured with auto-dev to /dev/input/event3 [02:13] which is the wrong event [02:14] oh shit i'm guna vomit more blood, tea, and ice cream [02:14] slav3_kitten: me neither. i bought a 'new' (refurb) desktop from Tigerdirect years ago ($280). It's still truckin! I dual boot on that one [02:14] bbiab [02:16] shinkamui: do you have the latest version of xorg? [02:16] user_ pretty sure, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade [02:17] shinkamui: i still don't understand why xorg inserts hardware settings where none exist... mine didn't do that [02:17] they do exist [02:17] let me pastebin, this will be much smaller :) [02:17] oh crap, I can't [02:17] can't use the mouse [02:17] shinkamui: or touchpad? [02:17] user_ there isnt'a touchpad, only an eraserpoint [02:17] shinkamui: oic [02:18] but the synaptics driver auto detects the touchpad device and wont detect the eraserpoint [02:18] odd as hell since there is no damn touchpad [02:18] shinkamui: have you tried reconfiguring xorg? i mean, if your settings are already borked.... [02:18] as in an autoconfigure? [02:18] xorg -configure [02:18] ? [02:19] as in sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:19] if nothing else is working, it's worth a shot.... === Scotty_ is now known as Scotty [02:25] hi all. Is there a freeware or open-source linux equivalent to "Logmein" that will allow me to control a winXP machine from kubuntu, and also allow me to be able to control the kubuntu machine from the winXP machine, especially when I'm away from home (over the internet)? [02:26] !remote_desktop [02:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about remote_desktop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:26] !remote [02:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about remote - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:27] howdo I mount my floppy drive? [02:27] not looking good, huh? [02:27] Dooood, anyway try looking around for remote desktop [02:27] it exists [02:27] is that open source? I'll look around [02:28] shinkamui: u still there? [02:28] yea [02:28] still didnt' work user [02:28] it detected the touchpad, not the eraserpoint [02:28] shinkamui: you completely reconfigured? [02:28] !krds [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about krds - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:28] alps dualpoint sucks [02:28] krcd [02:29] !krdc [02:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about krdc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:29] shinkamui: stupid question, but did you install the touchpad program from Add/Remove programs? [02:29] !info krdc [02:29] krdc: Remote Desktop Connection for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 505 kB, installed size 976 kB [02:30] Dooood, see the above! [02:30] hm? [02:30] ah [02:30] thx [02:30] blueskaj: you knew it was in there somewhere, huh? :) [02:30] yup [02:30] user: doesn't work, I tried gsynaptics [02:31] user_: It doesn't effect the eraserpoint at all [02:31] shinkamui: dammit.... sorry bro. I hope someone with more knowledge on the subject can help you [02:31] user_: in fact, at this point if I could just get the stupid synaptics driver to using auto-dev, I'd probably be in good shape, but Im starting to think its built into the driver [02:31] uhhm Dooood , there's anotherone called tsclient , it's gnome app but it should run on kde too [02:31] i, on the other hand, am going to grab a few cold ones :) [02:31] !tsclient [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about tsclient - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:32] see you guys later [02:32] !info tsclient [02:32] tsclient: front-end for viewing of remote desktops in GNOME.

[02:34] folks I was unable to set up my geforce 8800 with ubuntu can anyone help me? [02:34] hey folks, I'm looking at this page [02:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/misc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [02:34] Wondering why the only architectures available are i386 and amd64 [02:34] If I'm running a generic kernel which one do I need? [02:35] kubuntu is the best thing everr [02:36] fuzzy: you are a joker [02:36] am i now [02:38] how do I use my floppy drive from the live cd if /dev/fd0 isn't in fstab? [02:40] Dooood, sorry was called away , not sure . [02:41] ok. I started looking to install krdc, and it appears t already be installed! [02:41] mkdir /mnt/flop && mount -fs ? /dev/fd0 /mnt/flop [02:41] replace ? with filesystem [02:42] it says it supports vnc and rdp servers, so I guess I need to install vnc on my laptop.... [02:43] vnc [02:43] windows isn't friendly to linux on my network , altho i can read and write to the windows pc from my linux box with no probs. I've never tried a true remote desktop connection over the internet [02:43] oops [02:43] Krdc is only a client [02:43] I keep typing on the wrong keyboard.... [02:44] !vnc [02:44] VNC 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 !FreeNX [02:44] I use x11vnc as a VNC server. It's not all that easy to set up, but I couldn't see any others that handled display:0 [02:44] Dragnslcr: meaning I can only control the kubuntu machine with the windows machine? [02:44] Other way [02:44] ah [02:44] hm [02:45] If you want to remotely control a Kubuntu system, you need to install a VNC server [02:45] or use ssh [02:45] Then you can use any VNC client you want on a Windows system [02:45] ok. I guess I'll put that project off for now. I need baby steps at first..... [02:46] ....tiny, tiny, tiny baby steps..... [02:46] yeah Dragnslcr, Dooood , i've never had much luck controlling my linux pc from the wife's windows pc , even over our little lan. [02:46] ok, thx [02:47] how do I mount my hard drive from the live cd? [02:48] ubuntu__: I would think it should do it automatically, try looking in /media [02:49] oddly, I tried opening the laptop with a browser on the kubuntu box (since the lappy already has logmein installed) but couldn't connect. It claims to work in any browser, bbut I guess it means any *windows* browser..... [02:49] it doesn't, it's not there [02:50] ubuntu__: you can do "sudo fdisk -l" to see what partitions are on the disk [02:51] That's a -l, not a -i [02:52] oki somehow x booted [02:52] Frederick: Control + Alt + F1 [02:53] should drop to a shell [02:53] Hello! [02:54] im on x still not sure I will be able to come back to x [02:54] how do I check if nvidia driver is running? [02:54] Frederick: to come back to X: Ctrl+Alt+F7 [02:55] As for nvidia, [02:55] the driver is loaded acording to lsmod [02:55] ok. [02:56] Can i get a ps -e in a pastebin? [02:56] please? [02:56] from me? [02:56] yes [02:56] sure [02:56] ok [02:57] [ [02:57] oops! [02:59] http://rafb.net/p/4U9RlL63.html [02:59] ok [02:59] How do I make just a plain empty project in kdevelop? [03:00] Frederick, you will be able to come back to X. [03:01] oki man but I think nvidia is not running [03:02] well, my nvidia has never been running. [03:02] NVIDIA graphics card, though, [03:02] works fine [03:02] hm [03:03] Standards. [03:03] what doyou mean? [03:04] There are standard drivers that work across all video cards. [03:04] god damn [03:04] They may not use special features, [03:04] I don't think the alps dualpoint stick works in linux at all [03:04] but they work moderately well. [03:05] !qt [03:05] Qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt applications [03:08] Frederick: Did it work? [03:08] :-? [03:09] ilikepie: im on x dunno how [03:09] !gtk [03:09] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [03:09] What happened? [03:09] !botabuse [03:09] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [03:10] !operating systems. [03:10] Frederick: What happened [03:10] ? [03:12] Does compiz-fusion come pre-installed with gutsy gibbon 7.10? [03:12] !the world [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about the world - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:12] ha. [03:12] adamonline45: in Ubuntu [03:13] bonbonthejon: Alright, thanks 8) [03:13] kubunru keeps asking for the cd to update packages :/ [03:14] !strigi [03:14] Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) [03:14] !kde4 [03:14] KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment.

RC 1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [03:15] Frederick: open adept and change the repositories to ignore the CD [03:15] !compiz-fusion [03:15] 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 [03:16] !tell skyfalcon866 about botabuse [03:17] ubuntu have this wizard to enable fusion , also kubuntu hae it ? [03:17] or i need to install it from adapt ? [03:17] al-_-Gir: no wizard, you need to install it in adept [03:18] :( its pity that ubuntu deafult desktop is gnome and not kde [03:19] im not sure if any of you guys have talked to me before but if you have i am back again with the same problem [03:19] That's all Kubuntu is [03:19] al-_-Gir, kubuntu desktop default is kde , ubuntu desktop default is gnome [03:20] i installed kubuntu a little less than a month ago [03:20] Dragnslcr , but ubuntu is alot more developed ... alot more resources goto ubuntu and less to kubuntu [03:20] internet worked fine when it was feisty [03:20] !jdong [03:20] jdong: yes, but you're FULL OF CRACK! [03:20] al-_-Gir, wrong ! [03:20] al-_-Gir- not really [03:20] i upgraded to gutsy and now every time i restart my machine the internet no longer works [03:20] It's the same repositories [03:20] why not , its is so hard to put one wizard also to kubuntu ... [03:21] i dont understand them [03:21] al-_-Gir- are you only talking about Compiz? [03:21] generally [03:21] #ubuntu [03:21] this is a custom built machine with a realtek on board ethernet card [03:21] Compiz doesn't get along with KDE as well as it does with Gnome [03:21] dual bootiing with xp [03:21] can anyone help me stop the madness? [03:22] And KDE4 will have many of the same compositing effects as Compiz [03:22] Dragnslcr , what ? :\ it will have his own new compiz ? [03:22] Having said that, I've used Compiz with KDE and it works quite well [03:22] after about 3 hours of messing with stuff i can get it to work but the next time i reboot its gone again and its never the same fix 2x [03:22] yes im also [03:22] Dragnslcr: but you haven't use compiz with kde4... *shudders* [03:23] All you need to do is install the compiz packages [03:23] but its little bit difficult to install it [03:23] nosrednaekim- heh, I only used KDE4 for about 10 minutes [03:23] ALSO driver for nvidia , to restart kdm , X [03:23] al-_-Gir- not really, just install the packages through Adept [03:23] Dragnslcr: i'm doing it full time. my kde3+compiz set up crashed beyond quick repair. [03:23] al-_-Gir: no more difficult than ubuntu [03:23] nosrednaekim- ouch [03:24] Dragnslcr: yeah.. wasn't fun. [03:24] nosrednaekim- KDE4 was a bit too buggy for me. Stuff like the systray being in the middle of the screen [03:24] but kde4 is rock stable,plasma has crashed beyond replair once. [03:24] bazhang_ , ofcoure that yes , ubuntu have wizard that you only click on "full effects" and it install and do all you need [03:24] With no apparent way to move it [03:24] Dragnslcr: thats all fixed now. [03:24] Nice [03:24] I figured it wouldn't take long [03:24] when kde 4 will be released ? [03:24] al-_-Gir: that's hype--kubuntu is much easier :} [03:24] I may try RC2 when it hits the repositories [03:25] al-_-Gir: jan 11 2008 [03:25] al-_-Gir- I think the plan is for mid-January [03:25] http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule#Upcoming_milestones [03:25] kubuntu 8 will have default kde4 desktop right ? [03:25] 8.04 will not [03:25] al-_-Gir: 8.10 probably will [03:25] why ? [03:25] 8.04 is an LTS version, so they're sticking with KDE3 [03:26] aa aunderstand [03:26] KDE4 will most likely be available in the standard repositories though [03:26] LTS is for 3 years right ? [03:26] Probably take 5 minutes to install it [03:26] I think so [03:26] yup [03:26] yeah... and there is going to be a kde4 cd as well [03:26] 3 years desktop 5 years server [03:26] Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that [03:27] server is only ubuntu : \ [03:27] 8.04 will have two versions, one with KDE3 and one with KDE4 as the default [03:27] sweet [03:27] Server doesn't really matter, since most people wouldn't have Gnome or KDE on a server [03:27] al-_-Gir: ubuntu server doesn't have a GUI [03:27] I'm running hardy now and its nice [03:28] bazhang_ , new feutres ? [03:28] al-_-Gir- remember that Ubuntu and Kubuntu are only different in one package [03:28] al-_-Gir: not this early [03:28] 1 package do all the different ... [03:28] Ubuntu has ubuntu-desktop installed by default, while Kubuntu has kubuntu-desktop [03:28] but im kde user ... [03:28] bazhang:remember me? [03:28] You can install both desktop packages on the same computer [03:29] tarin: how could I not? :} [03:29] lol [03:29] well it has done it again no internet [03:29] and it hasnt been booted into xp at all today [03:29] tarin: describe it with more info and then well see if if can be helped [03:30] tarin: I remember, but others may not [03:30] well when i got off the pc last night you guys helped me get my internet working [03:30] i had initially installed feisty and everything worked great [03:30] i then upgraded to gutsy via adept [03:31] since then internet has been hit or mis [03:31] i am dual booting with xp on a home built pc with onboard realtek ethernet [03:31] wake on lan has been disabled via bios [03:32] everytime i bring up knetwork manager it says no active devices [03:32] tarin: that should be disabled inside of windows as well [03:32] tarin: kill knetworkmanager, you have a wired connection, so you don't need it. [03:33] yeah its always been disbled in windows i have no use for wake on lan [03:33] how do i kill it [03:33] this is also with a router hading out dhcp if that helps [03:34] nosrednaekim, i have a wired connection and I had to reconfigure the knetwork manager after upgrading to gutsy [03:34] tarin: right click on it, say close,and when it asks you if you want to start on login. say no. [03:35] ok should i restart now? [03:35] tarin: and configure your wired interface from within system settings->network [03:36] nosrednaekim, i have a wired connection and I had to reconfigure the knetwork manager after upgrading to gutsy [03:36] BluesKaj: how'd you do that? [03:36] with the realtek like tarin has [03:37] should i mark the box activate when computer starts or leave it empty? [03:37] tarin: yeah, actuvate when the computer starts [03:38] ok so do i need to restart the whole machine or can i log out and log back in? [03:38] it was inactive so i ran the knetwork manager and it opens network settings [03:40] tarin: i'd do a restart to be safe. [03:40] BluesKaj: which is what I just told him to do. :D [03:41] ok restarting [03:41] yeah, but why did you tell him to turn off knetwork manager ? [03:42] the thing that kills me is that it has been a different fix every night for a week lol [03:42] BluesKaj: cause its uneccasary and causes problems [03:42] how do i completely disable the screen server and black screen turning on after time ? [03:43] smooker: system settings-> power management I believe [03:44] dont see any power management [03:44] then its in monitor and display [03:45] nosrednaekim, well my wired network manager is not going to be turned off, cuz it works. All he ahas to do is right click on it and choose 'wired network' and that 'll activate his connection [03:45] BluesKaj: but he said it said it told him "no available devices" [03:46] bummer , he needs to do a manual config then [03:46] doesnt give me that option....if i single left click on it it tells me no active devices then when i right click the only thing i can do is manual config [03:47] tarin: but does internet work? [03:47] (i'm assuming you've rebooted) [03:47] nope no internet [03:48] do the manual config : IP is prolly some thing like 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask is : 255.255.255.0,broadcast is :192.168.2.255 [03:48] and no knetman icon either [03:48] damn , no red X ?

[03:52] BRB [03:52] tarin: that would depend on your network configuration [03:53] see man interfaces [03:54] tarin, pm , i'll show you the file [03:59] ok i have that [04:01] hey.... tarin sorry, my mom wanted me for something [04:02] np [04:02] i had to go outside to smoke a cig anyway [04:02] tarin: ummm you could try just running "sudo dhclient eth0" from the commmand line [04:03] ok one sec [04:04] dhcpdiscover not finding any offers [04:05] wow... thats weird. you sure the network cable is plugged in tightly at either side? [04:05] tarin, behind a router or modem ? [04:05] router [04:05] set to send dhcp [04:06] and i have tried unplugging and plugging back in already [04:06] this is kind of embarassing since i did tech support for an ISP for 1.5 yrs [04:07] and now i install entire networks [04:07] too bad its all windows [04:07] lol [04:07] not enuff ppl use linux ya know [04:08] realtek RTL-8139 ethernet card here , is that familiar ?

[04:11] ok. [04:11] and ifconfig lists it as eth0? [04:11] for instance... is there an eth1 or eth2? [04:12] nope just eth0 [04:13] but i have eth1 and eth2 listed in my interfaces but they are commented out [04:13] hrm.... try a "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" for the heck of it. [04:13] and then another "sudo dhclient eth0" [04:15] still no offers [04:15] should it be looking at 255.255.255.255? [04:15] port 67? [04:16] yeah.... [04:17] I think so [04:17] yes, thats what mine does [04:17] ok [04:17] your router ok? [04:18] do you hae windows on this same computer?

I have no clue what the problem could be.... actually, try a "sudo lshw" and look for the network interface [04:19] if i didnt have so many things i need on the windows i would nuke it [04:19] ok [04:19] thanks for the help [04:20] tarin: its useful for times like this [04:20] try the sudo lshw real fast. [04:21] shows eth0 as the realtek [04:21] good evening. Is libdvdcss in the repos? [04:21] tarin: and the associated driver is 8139too?

[14:44] crashev: kino [14:44] !hotkeys [14:44] keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts === luke__ is now known as TheFuzzball [14:45] ok ... it's solved [14:45] bye [14:46] bye [14:47] Hi, I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy and I want to use the Flash plugin with Konqueror, I downloaded the plugin from adobe's site and put it in a folder that konqueror watched, but whenever I try and view flash nspluginviewer crashes === oleh is now known as oleh_ [14:47] does anyone else have this problem? [14:47] !flash [14:47] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:48] thanks [14:48] I have audigy sound card and it's doesn't work correectly. What's I must do... I install LINUX at first time.... [14:49] Pease help [14:49] !sound | try this [14:49] try this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:49] nosrednaekim: I dont seem to have installed kino, I wonder because my multimedia keys work, but what application handles it, still cant find.. [14:50] crashev: the kernel and Xorg mostly [14:52] Howdy All : ) [14:52] hey BluesKaj! [14:52] hi nosrednaekim [14:53] wonder if tarin was able to solve the dhcp prob [14:53] for some reason, i can load the screen saver list from kcontrol as root, but when i view that list as any other user, it is empty. can anyone help me figure that out? [14:53] BluesKaj: no... at least not by 11:30 when I had to go ;) [14:54] yeah, nosrednaekim i hit the sack shortly thereafter too...it was already 30mins past my bedtime :) [14:54] if adept messes up, how do I make kubuntu understand that there's nothing using the package database thingie? [14:55] hi [14:55] BluesKaj: and about an hour pst mine XD [14:55] !adeptfix [14:55] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:55] ah thanks [14:56] i have got the problem that firefox wont play quicktime files, read many howto, and the mplayer is properly installed, it still wont work.. [14:56] we're getting a lot of those , adept notifier/updater is failing a lot on gutsy it seems [14:56] BluesKaj: it happened with me. i had to upgrade the packages manually [14:56] BluesKaj: failed a lot on feisty too [14:57] and edgy [14:57] and dapper... [14:57] it hasn't failed me once yet, but I guess the problem was that I was trying to install java sdks while eclipse was running [14:57] XD [14:58] anyone have an idea about my screen saver problem? [14:58] After upgrading to 7.10 I get "This client is too old to work with working copy" when using eSvn. Any ideas howto fix this... ? [14:59] stdin: it looks like there is some external application for handling it... [14:59] maybe the screen saver files are readable only by root? [15:00] hw_: eh... what is eSVN? a client or the server. [15:00] Jack111, do a 'about:plugins' in the FF addressbar and see if Totem 2.20.0 plugin is installed under quicktime [15:01] Dragonath: that's possible but i haven't changed their permissions. where are those files located so i can check their perms? [15:01] nosrednaekim: Its a Qt client [15:01] I have no idea, joseph [15:01] ok [15:01] hw_: oh, ok. IDK then, can you do svn up from the command line? [15:01] perhaps running kcontrol from a terminal would help? [15:01] how would that help? [15:02] nosrednaekim: yes [15:02] Dragonath: maybe [15:02] it doesn't make any difference; kcontrol exits normally [15:02] well maybe you'd see where it tries to read the files from, and the errors [15:02] there aren't any errors, though [15:02] hw_: is there a newer version of eSVN avaiable? [15:03] does anyone know where kde's screen savers are located? [15:03] joseph: I can check... one moment [15:03] thanks [15:03] nosrednaekim: that comes with 7.10... [15:04] joseph: /usr/bin/*.kss [15:04] fdoving: thanks [15:04] fdoving: beat me to it <_< [15:04] there were only two files revealed there, fdoving [15:04] and both of them are readable by everyone [15:04] and executable by everyone [15:04] joseph: then you don't have the kscreensaver package installed. [15:05] BluesKaj: thanks, no, i dont..to make sure here is what i have http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2483/ [15:05] joseph: what's your problem? [15:05] fdoving: i can view the screen saver list in kcontrol as root, but not as any other user. [15:05] BluesKaj: so i dont need the mplayer, but the totem? [15:06] joseph: interessting. done anything special? [15:06] How work Kubuntu Device Database?My hardware data has been sent to server. And? I must wait for something? [15:06] joseph: what does "apt-cache policy kscreensaver" say? [15:06] oleh_: no, it's just an huge database of users hardware specs. [15:07] are those specs ever used? [15:07] http://hwdb.ubuntu.com/ [15:07] nosrednaekim: well, i just reinstalled it (doesn't make any difference to my problem, though): [15:08] joseph: so what does "dpkg -L kscreensaver" say? === apol is now known as apol|work [15:08] joseph: so you have no screensavers in the list, or a few, or one? [15:08] the output to apt-cache policy kscreensaver: http://pastebin.com/d47be06da [15:08] fdoving: none [15:08] Jack111, yes you have the right enabled totem plugin for quicktime media [15:09] BluesKaj: still dont work... [15:09] dpkg -L output: http://pastebin.com/d798d1923 [15:09] joseph: thanks [15:10] joseph: looks like your screensavers are there. [15:10] yeah [15:10] i just can't configure them heh [15:10] joseph: looks fine... odd [15:10] Jack111, hangon lemme check around a bit [15:10] and all those screensavers have these permissions: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root [15:11] so if all the screensavers are there, and their permissions are appropriate, what else could cause this problem? [15:12] heh, everyone's out of answers then, i take it? [15:13] joseph: you can try to run 'kbuildsycoca' from the commandline, then try again. [15:13] fdoving: i did that yesterday, and it had no effect [15:14] i can do it again, though, if you want and paste the output? [15:14] i don't need the output. [15:14] ok [15:14] it doesn't say anything about screen savers in the output anyway [15:15] joseph: you don't have even Blank Screen showing up in your list of screensavers? [15:15] fdoving: the list is empty when kcontrol is run as any other user besides root === plone is now known as gabr [15:17] joseph: checked permissions for files in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers ? [15:18] hmm [15:18] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7397 2007-10-12 16:52 zoom.desktop [15:18] those perms are correct, though, aren't they? [15:19] joseph: yep. [15:19] :( [15:20] so if it's not permissions what could it be? [15:20] i asked in #kde and Sho_ said: joseph: Sounds like your environment ($KDEDIRS) might be set up wrong [15:20] but he said he didn't have any time to help me evaluate that possibility [15:21] if i echo $KDEDIRS there is nothing [15:21] but i've never messed with any environment variables [15:21] joseph: is this a clean gutsy install? [15:22] fdoving: no, it's an upgrade from feisty. [15:22] however, after the initial upgrade to gutsy, things worked normally [15:22] maybe it got screwed up after some update [15:22] not sure though. [15:22] I have an updated feisty too, should work just fine. [15:22] yeah, it should :) [15:22] do you have the kubuntu-desktop metapackage installed? [15:22] since theres no $KDEDIRS you are using the default - i belive. [15:23] i kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu desktop system [15:23] fdoving: yes [15:23] hey there fdoving [15:23] hi hydrogen. [15:23] havn't seen you in a while! [15:23] Encryption of hard drive/ How to? [15:24] hydrogen: busy with kids and all. been having a few days off from work now, finally got some computing time :) [15:25] fdoving: :) [15:26] Jack111, i don't see mozilla-mplayer on pastebin list, nor do i see totem-mozilla or xine-plugin [15:26] so if it's not permissions, what could it be? [15:28] i'm going to reinstall kcontrol and see if that makes any difference [15:28] is there any channel for zend framework ? [15:28] joseph: probably doesn't, you can try 'kcmshell screensaver' from Run COmmand, (alt+f2) === Shely is now known as MJ086 [15:28] joseph: or a konsole, would give some output maybe. [15:28] k [15:29] there is no output [15:29] Jack111, make sure you also have libxine1-ffmpeg installed [15:30] Hello. I installed Kubuntu 7.10 on a clean hd. How can I import a KMail account from an old ~/.kde/share/... dir? [15:31] BluesKaj: libxine1-ffmpeg is already the newest version.??? [15:31] BluesKaj: but thanks anyway [15:31] fdoving: in the .xsession-errors file, i do get several lines complaining about not being able to get control of keyboard/mouse (already grabbed) [15:32] joseph: ah, might have found the problem. did you edit the KMenu? [15:32] i have in the past, yeah [15:32] joseph: did you move the System menu? [15:33] possibly [15:33] it needs to be in the root of the Kmenu [15:33] for screensavers to work. [15:33] it is [15:34] fdoving: Interesting, never knew that about System menu/screensaver idiosyncrasy [15:35] the system menu is in the root of the KMenu === Dresken_ is now known as Dresken [15:38] Just installed NetBeans 6.0 but It didn't appear on the K menu, any idea why? [15:38] any experience on nvidea with kubuntu? [15:38] nvidia works fine on my 3 machines with kubuntu [15:38] brightstone1967: works fine. [15:38] fdoving: so yeah, the System menu is in the root of the KMenu; that is, it's not nested into any other menu [15:38] 5500, 6800 and 8800 cards [15:38] thanks [15:39] brightstone1967: you can add it manually to the KMenu [15:40] thanks rockprincess [15:42] ok, so the list is empty even if i run kcontrol as root [15:43] joseph: I think youcan manually start kscreensaver with an argument. [15:43] when i run kcontrol as root, i do get this error: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-joe" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [15:43] joseph: upps my last message that i sent to brightstone1967 was actually meant to you......you can add it manually to the KMenu! [15:43] joseph: how do you run it as root? [15:43] joseph: that's a usual error, from what i see [15:43] fdoving: i did sudo kcontrol from a konsole [15:43] joseph: sudo is wrong. use kdesudo [15:43] ok [15:44] kdesu [15:44] kdesu is kdesudo in gutsy. but yeah. [15:44] ok, using kdesu kcontrol, i get the list [15:44] right. [15:44] fdoving: you're advocating kdesudo now? :D [15:44] Jucato: well, it's harder to write kdesu.distrib :) [15:45] does any of you have suggestions on sources.list [15:45] O.o [15:45] ok, so it loads using kdesu but not as normal user [15:45] still. [15:45] heh [15:45] !easysource [15:45] :) [15:45] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [15:45] brightstone1967: what about it? [15:46] Jucato: to have stable new handy sources / applications of any sort, gamez or office whatever [15:46] what is the executable for the kscreensaver? [15:46] anyone have problems burning iso images to DVD with K3b and has fixed the problem? [15:46] rockprincess: what do yo umean add it manually to the kmenu? [15:46] brightstone1967, thers games and office apps in the defaults. :) you could enable the extra repos. [15:46] !repo [15:46] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [15:46] brightstone1967: everything that's supported are in the default sources.list already, including games and lots of other stuff [15:47] Kubuntu has around 20,000 packages (including libraries and utilities). That's a lot of stuff :) [15:47] joseph: just to test, try to move ~/.config/menus to ~/.config/menus.bak, then try to run 'kbuildsycoca' and then run 'kcmshell screensavers' [15:47] sometimes you hear about medibuntu and stuff like that... [15:47] fdoving: ok [15:48] joseph: you want to add netmeans to your kmenu? [15:48] !medibuntu [15:48] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:48] Jucato: kdesudo in bzr is currently getting better, by the way. most very evil bugs are closed. i still like kdesu better, but that's me. :) [15:48] fdoving: thank you :) [15:48] you and Tonio rock :) [15:49] i haven't done much lately, he's been hacking away the last couple of days. [15:49] thanks for all the information! [15:50] * genii sips and contemplates kdesudo su - [15:50] i go from ubuntu to kubuntu right now, so gnome to kde, hope everything goes well [15:51] brightstone1967: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? [15:52] ]rockprincess: no made a backup and install from scratch [15:52] brightstone1967: i see [15:52] I really SWITCH [15:52] is anyone subscribed to the list? [15:53] genii: ever tried "sudo bash" XD [15:53] maybe it's linux, maybe it's k3b, but these burning problems in kubuntu are ridiculous. [15:53] where to find ltconfig? [15:53] nosrednaekim: Not lately :) [15:54] The_Machine: try another burning program. [15:54] hahahha "kubuntu 7.10 is really suks to install" [15:54] and maybe its the cds themselves [15:54] rabby: iFconfig but lowercase F [15:54] nosrednaekim, what can burn DVD iso images? [15:54] The_Machine: i haven [15:54] fdoving: kcmshell (kdelibs): WARNING: Could not find module 'screensavers'. [15:54] I just use cdrecord (no problem ever!) [15:54] The_Machine: i haven't had any problems with k3b lately...what are you problems? [15:54] The_Machine: gnome baker probably can [15:54] genii: ifconfig is not what i am looking for [15:55] joseph: drop the tailing s. 'screensaver' [15:55] The_Machine: k3b can too... [15:55] genii: ltconfig is it called and seems to play with libtools [15:55] k [15:55] rockprincess, they're pretty well documented everywhere.. http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=7851 [15:55] Lynoure, this problem is regarding k3b. [15:55] :P [15:55] The_Machine: Oh, I only saw your question. [15:55] or 'growisofs' [15:56] it seems like it's been a problem for about 3-4 years [15:56] fdoving: ok, the list loads now [15:56] The_Machine: what kind of problems are you having? [15:56] and nobody has really solved it [15:56] Lynoure, read my posts! [15:56] :P [15:56] i just pasted the problem [15:56] rabby: Ah, libtoolconfig [15:56] joseph: good, then your menu was the problem. [15:56] The_Machine: ok, ok... [15:56] The_Machine: cheers, i'll have a look.... [15:56] fdoving: ok. so will the menu rebuild after login/logout then? [15:56] Anyone has any idea? <_< [15:56] thanks rockprincess - you, erm.. rock [15:57] genii: where does it hide? [15:57] The_Machine: Sorry if I pushed some button accidentally. [15:57] rockprincess, just like most people who are reporting the problem, it isn't the hardware. [15:57] joseph: if you want to, you can restore your previous menu, by moving ~/.config/menus.bak back to ~/.config/menus - otherwise leave it as it is, and you can also remove ~/.config/menus.bak if you don't care about your old menu. [15:57] fdoving: if i leave it as-is, will the menus be rebuilt autmoatically? [15:57] works fine under windows, even in a VMware VM, and in knoppix as well [15:58] joseph: it'll be like it currently is, default kubuntu menu. [15:58] The_Machine: don't you think it's a kde issue, rather than a kubuntu issue? [15:58] rabby: I know it comes with package libtool ... if you have it someplace on your box do an updated then locate or find [15:58] rockprincess, they're so closely related and i'm so inexperienced, it's hard for me to say [15:58] fdoving: ok [15:58] *updatedb [15:58] joseph: your old menu, with your changes, is currently stored in ~/.config/menus.bak [15:58] again, there are so many bugs posted around it sounds like there isn't any central place for people to work on it [15:58] fdoving: except i changed .config/ to config.bak/ [15:58] really frustrating. [15:59] BTW, i burn Data/Music CDs just fine w/ the same burner and k3b [15:59] it seems to be isolated to DVDs [15:59] joseph: then it might affect some other apps too, but you will most likely not notice much. compiz, among others. [15:59] genii: i have libtool installed, but anyway the config app is missing though :( [15:59] i'm going to try gnomebaker really quick, brb [15:59] can not compile a nice app i need without it :( [15:59] fdoving: ok. so i can view the list now, but clicking on the lock desktop applet doesn't work, nor does ctrl+alt+L [16:00] in that case i would suggest brasero [16:00] rabby: I think debian/ubuntu may have a different name than ltconfig, perhaps ld-something [16:00] don' t have too good experience with gnomebaker [16:00] The_Machine: it would be quite useful to report your bug(s) to http://bugs.kde.org/ and to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ in order to resolve the issue....i know it's a pain, but it is indeed useful and it helps the developer working on the problem.... [16:00] The_Machine: and you can burn DVDs fine with something else than k3b? [16:00] joseph: you can browse the list of screensavers, enable screensavers and lock doesn't work? [16:00] ldconfig exists, may i use that instead? [16:01] fdoving: correct === Gnagnagna is now known as Gunirus [16:01] i can test them from kcontrol, though [16:01] Lynourre: #cdrecord [16:01] joseph: try again with anohter screensaver. Blank Screen, for example. [16:01] rabby: Have you installed package build-essential ? [16:01] blank screen is the one enabled [16:01] brightstone1967: not ready to join other channels to solve someone's problem, sorry [16:01] joseph: ok, try Banner then. [16:02] Lynoure, again, i'm trying now [16:02] fdoving: still doesn't work [16:02] genii: no, but give me a min and i will do [16:02] rockprincess, there are a billion bugs on it already [16:02] from years back. [16:02] fdoving: maybe logging out/logging in will fix that? [16:02] The_Machine: when did it happen? [16:02] joseph: try. [16:02] genii: didn't help [16:02] k [16:03] gnomebaker just gave me the same error. [16:03] The_Machine: Is this on all types on DVD medium? Have you tried on a slower speed setting? [16:03] tail -f /var/log/... [16:03] Lynoure, yea, i have tried it on a slwoer speed. [16:04] !mplayer [16:04] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [16:04] brb [16:04] The_Machine: tried NeroLinux? [16:05] rabby: looking into it [16:05] rockprincess, in as much as i want to get dvd burning to work, i'm kind of pissed that such a simple function is broken [16:05] :) [16:05] going to check on something [16:05] brb [16:06] rockprincess, i'm seeing stuff like this EVERYWHERE: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-91842.html [16:07] that's from the beginning of 2006 - i can't believe it isn't solved. [16:09] and more: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/91210 [16:09] The_Machine: I had that on a laptop once, but unfortunately did not have time to investigate it, as it turned out to burn fine on dvd+rw [16:09] The_Machine: i don't understand this...sorry, i burn DVDs on DVD-R, DVD+R but mostly on DVD+RW on a weekly basis!!!! [16:09] hey ppl [16:10] The_Machine: which version of k3b are you using? [16:10] rockprincess, it isn't k3b [16:10] i got the same error with gnomebaker [16:10] im trying to install a game from an iso file. It asks me to insert CD, but i have mounted the iso in /media/cdrom0, why doesnt it recognize this, and did i mount it to the right place? [16:11] any1? [16:12] this is bull$&!& [16:12] fdoving: logging out/logging in didn't do anything [16:12] lovre, with some games ive taken the contents from the cd. copied to a directory, then installed the game FROM that dir. that way no cd changing is needed [16:12] i can test the screen savers from kcontrol, but i can't lock the screen using the lock desktop applet or by ctrl+alt+L [16:13] The_Machine, yep. from what ive read on the burning issue is that it seems to be some sort of kernel issues (or so the threads sort of imply, but they are still troubbleshooting it) I have 1 out of 3 machines with the provblem also. [16:13] rabby: Aaah, libtool does not come anymore with ltconfig and has been deprecated now in Debian/ubuntu. You may want package autotools-dev and possibly also autoconf [16:13] Dr_willis, yeah you're right. [16:13] The_Machine: and you already have dvd+rw-tools installed? [16:13] Work emergency, flood. [16:14] Dr_willis, it's just ridiculous that i can have compiz working the way it does but I can't burn a DVD [16:14] The_Machine: which kernel version are you using? [16:14] and that it works fine in knoppix and windows [16:14] and works in windows EVEN IN A Virtual Machine!! [16:14] Ugh! Frustrating! [16:14] The_Machine, i rember ages ago when just getting a cd burner going was a kernel recompile and a week of reading... [16:14] Dr_willis, heh. The true state of "linux on the desktop" imho [16:15] its possible the switch to the libata has caused other issues.. [16:15] fdoving: do you have any other ideas by chance? [16:15] The_Machine, you dont want to get me started on my daily 'windows on the desktop' issues. :) [16:15] Dr_willis, ah, really? [16:15] * The_Machine never has any [16:15] and i'm not any silly fan boy [16:15] yeah right [16:15] Dr_willis: i downloaded the game as iso, and an install script. Now the script is searching for the CD-ROM wich i dont have, and i mount the iso but it doesnt find it. Is there any place that i should mount iso file, so the script can find it [16:15] * The_Machine has been using linux for his workstation for 3 years.. and Windows in VMs this whole time [16:15] Today. kept getting a popup - about how a service couldent post a message.. so i looked at it.. closed it.. then 2 min later it poped up again.. sigh. [16:16] what's the actual executable for the kscreensavers? === Moonra is now known as Necrobyte [16:16] rockprincess, i'm checking, one sec [16:16] lovre, its possible the installer has options as to where to look for the cd. [16:16] lovre, or perhaps the script has some lines you can edit to set the path. === FunnyHat is now known as FunnyLookinHat [16:16] Dr_willis: how can i find out what this is? I searcher the script, but didnt find anything, but its big 6Mb, so maybe i didnt look in right place [16:17] rockprincess, 2.6.22-14-generic [16:17] lovre, normally such things would be seyt at the begining. What game is this anyway? [16:17] The_Machine: same kernel version that I'm using [16:18] Dr_willis: Unreal Tournament (the old one from 99) [16:18] Lynoure, yes, RE: The_Machine: and you already have dvd+rw-tools installed? [16:18] lovre, i recall it having some options, or a setting. You could just mount the iso to /media/cdrom or /mnt/cdrom whever its looking [16:18] rockprincess, basically, there is gong to be no answer [16:19] lovre, i recall on one of those games that came on 3 cd's i copied all the cd's to one dir. [16:19] so many bugs submitted, nobody working on it any more [16:19] The_Machine: and how many different disks you have tried with? [16:19] Lynoure, about 20. [16:19] not 20 different brands though. [16:19] genii, i just removed libtool again and installed autoconf. autoconf-dev is there already. but ltconfig isn't there though and the ./configure script i have again tells me, it needs ltconfig :( [16:20] I can burn dvd's on my machine. but then they dont want to verify.. so im not sure if they are good or bad.. so i play it safe and dont use that machine to burn disks any more. :) its possivble the drive IS bad.. [16:20] well bbl. [16:20] Lynoure, also, it works fine in Windows :P [16:20] so not likely the brand of the disc, or the hardware [16:21] rabby: I am back for a second to tell you that debian no longer uses ltconfig. I have an emergency here at work which i need to go remedy and will not be around for a while. You will need to find help from another for the time being [16:22] it would be an interesting test to try out a external Usb burner - and see if it has the exact same issues. [16:22] has anyone ever had or knows how to fix it when kdesktop displays "/" instead of "~/Desktop"? [16:22] So no confusion logging out for now [16:22] Dr_willis, forums show that external and internal drives are affected. [16:22] The_Machine, interesting. [16:22] yeah, crappy :/ [16:22] But is that for everyone.. or just some. [16:22] looks to be 'some' [16:22] The_Machine: tried types, too? dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw? [16:22] there seems to be no constants with these problems! [16:22] I just built me an external USB dvd burner over the weekend. to keep me from cawling under the desk. Heh. [16:23] I need to testit on the problem box. [16:23] The_Machine: are you a programmer? [16:23] Lynoure, just DVD+R.. again, it works fine in windows and knoppix in the SAME box [16:23] Paddy_EIRE, i wish [16:23] :) [16:23] The_Machine: then how do you know there is no constants with those problems [16:23] kinda presumptious [16:23] Paddy_EIRE, because i've been reading the forums regarding it? [16:23] get outta here. [16:24] you just entered the conversation, speaking of presumptious. [16:24] meh... thats hardly a deffinite indication [16:24] bbl [16:24] troll [16:24] The_Machine: no I've been listening [16:24] hardly a troll either [16:24] can anyone help me make kdesktop display ~/Desktop instead of / , i want my icons on my desktop not bin, usr, etc? [16:24] and you've watched the forums i've been posting? [16:24] happens on fedora/gentoo across different media/programs/kernels [16:24] Any one try encrypting the hard drive. [16:24] for about 4 years [16:24] hey Lynoure [16:25] I once had an issue with using dvd +rw instead of dvd -rw without being aware of it [16:25] The_Machine: Try a diffent type, just for fun, if you have a chance. [16:25] Lynoure, i will when i get one ) [16:26] Guess not. [16:27] D`oh! [16:27] Radi01: you might have to wait for more than one minute for an answer :} [16:27] <[ifr0g]> !compiz-fusion [16:27] 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 [16:27] Radi01: using question marks also helps the question to be noticed. :) [16:27] hi all [16:27] i've a strange "problem" [16:28] hi yakuzi [16:28] Radi01: Do you want/need full disk encryption, or just a part? [16:28] The whole drive/ Cant find any programs to do just that. [16:28] in settings i set my selected items background to red, but adept refuses to use it and still uses the default blue (same with scrollbars etc) anyone have an idea how to fix it? [16:29] The_Machine: I trust that you have tried making the image manually with mkisofs already? It works in some cases where growisofs is throwing a fit. [16:29] yakuzi: adept is run as run, a different user with different settings, run kdesu kcontrol and changes the colours there [16:29] run as root* [16:30] hello [16:30] Radi01: that's because for whole drive, if the one your root filesystem is on, it cannot be a user space program... [16:31] hi there. I've tried to update to gutsy with adept_updater tool but there was some serious problem which caused this tool to hang... I was not able to re-run it again so i proceeded manually (dpkg --configure -a && apt-get dist-upgrade) [16:31] Lynoure, what do you mean make it amnually? [16:31] i already have an image and i'm trying to burn it. [16:31] howto typ the '™' sing in kubuntu ? [16:31] it happens with DVD video as well [16:32] I see/ The install asks to do so, only upon installation. I was to late I guess. [16:32] almost everything works fine now, but I have serious problem with graphics - having i945 intel (nc2400 notebook) and X works really slow. With visible refreshing and very bad visual responses. Also dual head works no more. [16:32] Thanks 4 trying anyway. [16:32] The_Machine: mkisofs -o myimage.iso /home/whoknows/imagestuff = manually [16:32] ok, so i can view the list of screensavers, but for some reason, i can't RUN the screensaver [16:32] eyy [16:32] does anyone have some suggestion of what should I try? [16:32] Radi01: not too late. Patience, dude [16:33] can anyone help me make kdesktop display ~/Desktop instead of / , i want my icons on my desktop not bin, usr, etc? [16:33] might this be due to the use of non-restricted drivers which have poor performance? [16:33] brb [16:33] hello [16:34] or maybe another question - how can i generate some "default" xorg.conf? [16:34] I nead a suport to kubuntu in spanish [16:34] !es [16:34] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

[16:35] jaro: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:36] i'm grateful because i can now load the screen saver list, but for some reason, i can't get them to run! [16:36] guys any idea for a good movie player? i have problem with subtitles + kaffeine [16:36] mplayer works fine for me [16:36] Radi01: http://www.sdc.org/~leila/usb-dongle/readme.html is one good place to start, and aimed an people who already have a running system [16:37] SR-latch: mplayer and xine are both good. [16:37] SR-latch: VLC. [16:37] SR-latch: Do you need closed captions as well? mplayer and xine are the only ones which support closed captions [16:38] SR-latch: go to settings > Xine engine settings > subtitles and change some settings, i used to have problems with subtitles but that completely fixed it for me [16:38] Can somone help me with "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_add_idle" ? [16:38] i get that error for any gtk application [16:40] can no body help me with my kdesktop woes? [16:41] adam_: you just have to be patient [16:41] Idk but somebody is no one helping ? [16:41] joseph, how did you set up the scrnsaver ? [16:42] adam_: how did you get to that bind? [16:43] BluesKaj: ok, i got it to work finally. one interesting thing, though, is that if i run kdesktop_lock (the executable) as root, the password box is nicer-looking than the password box (basic) that the normal user gets [16:43] Lynoure: i just started my computer today and when kdesktop loaded it was the / directory (e.g bin, etc, usr, media) instead of ~/Desktop [16:44] i wonder how i can get that shiny-looking password box instead? [16:44] adam_: weird, it should not happen on its own. [16:45] Lynoure: i ran kdesktop in a teminal and it says "cp: cannot create regular file `//.directory': Permission denied" [16:45] Lynoure: i checked .directory in ~/desktop and its writable to my user [16:46] adam_: ~/desktop or ~/Desktop ? === Moonra is now known as Necrobyte [16:46] adam_: do you see the / path anywhere in ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc ? [16:47] Lynoure: ~/Desktop [16:48] adam_: Check the contents of the file above, then. [16:48] hmm intersting joseph , I'm the only user so i don't bother locking anything, so I don't use the pw to unlock the scrnsaver or the the desktop. I use the photo album slideshow as my screensaver. [16:49] ™ ? how to type on Linux ???? [16:49] lg188: type as in type commands, or write text files? [16:49] "/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" any idea on what package i need to get installed? [16:50] BluesKaj: it has to do with themes, incidentally [16:50] but now i'm happy - everything works! [16:50] Lynoure: I can't find anything that points kdesktop where my desktop is in that file :P [16:50] lg188: for former, start konsole from the K-menu -> System -> konsole [16:50] whoo hooo!! subs working now under vlc!! [16:50] thanks guys!! [16:50] Lynoure: for a text file [16:51] yeah joseph, the default kde theme is fine for my eyes, altho I upped the contrast somewhat [16:52] adam_: try checking on System Settings -> About me too [16:52] adam_: the path is normally set under Paths there [16:52] lg188: then K-menu -> Utilities -> Kate [16:53] BluesKaj: k [16:53] Lynoure: damn your right, in paths my desktop path is /, why'd it change itself *scratches head* thanks [16:54] Again, I've just installed NetBeans 6.0 but nothing appeared on the K menu, any has any idea why? [16:54] adam_: that's the weird bit. [16:55] adam_: If it does it again, you through probably go through your system, just in case someone bad got into it. [16:55] adam_: I would already, but I'm not the role model, necessarily =) [16:56] Lynoure: ah noes, i just restarted kdesktop after setting the desktop path right and kdesktop still shows the contents of / :( [16:56] adam_: but a quick run of chkrootkit will not hurt (though not necessarily help, either) [16:57] adam_: something else is setting your path. First check what's in .kde/Autostart [16:58] Lynoure: nope just my own scripts which i haven't touched for months [16:59] adam_: I'll need to go, but please msg me if you find out the cause, or need help digging into it some other day. Might help to think about whether you installed anything new, or did something else radical around when it started [16:59] Lynoure: ok thanks very much [17:00] adam_: good luck, meanwhile. [17:03] I am trying to compy an image (jpg in GIMP) to a message in Thunderbird. I use the rectangle select tool, select the image, EDIT/COPY but then there seems to be nothing in the clipboard. What am I doing wrong? [17:05] Lynoure: kate ? i know how to use it but not how to type ™ [17:09] venik: that is the question that needs an answer [17:10] What am I doing wrong? Or: How do I copy an image from GIMP and paste it into a Thunderbird message? === meduxa is now known as toscalix [17:10] how to type ™ [17:12] euhm i think .... insert ->picture->from file ( based on win offfice not working on my dapper) [17:14] lg188: What are you trying to type? What I see you typing for that character is gibberish. It might help us to know what you are trying to type [17:15] the TM mark [17:15] ™ ™ ™ ™ ™ ™ ™ [17:15] :) [17:15] :)™ [17:16] how to on Linux [17:16] i dont use it at the moment [17:16] No idea. :) There is that character selecter tool i recall under kde and gnome for a lot of the odd ball characters. [17:16] kcharselect [17:16] It looks as if there is no way to format text in superscript in Kate, but if there is an ascii character to print TM, you might try that [17:18] ty for support [17:18] I don't see the TM mark in kcharselect [17:19] i wil look for a while i will come back if i dot find it and other wise to say thanx [17:20] i fdnt have that tool kcharselect ... [17:20] don't* [17:23] plug-in from Kate? Of a programme that u can start without Kate [17:25] lg188: iirc, it is part of the kdeutils package [17:25] ? [17:25] install apart ? [17:25] i don not have inet on it [17:26] sudo apt-get install kdeutils [17:27] er he doesn't need to install all that :P [17:27] actually, it's the kcharselect package.. kdeutils is a met-package [17:27] oooh **** [17:27] ????????

[17:34] do i have to do something special to get the agp bus detected for my matrox g-400 card? dmesg only contains this line "Linux agpgart interface v0.102 (c) Dave Jones", no other line pertaining to agpgart. loading the matrox driver produces "[drm:mga_do_agp_dma_bootstrap] *ERROR* Unable to acquire AGP: -19" ??

[17:41] JackWinter: tbh, this is the first I've seen about that issue. [17:42] hmm. i got 3d accell working pretty good, but 2d performance is horrible, thus my quest to get agp working..;-) [17:43] is #xorg the only support channel for video, or are there any others ?

[18:01] trappist: how do i make the cube appear on my desktop in the first place?

(Monitoring stocks) [18:05] The file it's referencing is absolutely critical to Windows [18:05] Ben_Cs: I did this just the other night. mount your root (with /boot) fs somewhere on the livecd. mount --bind /proc, /sys and /dev into the mounted fs. chroot to the fs. run grub-install.

[18:13] Jucato, it is installed [18:13] BluesKaj: but when chosing it, the fault I wrote above appears [18:13] t4m1n0: libvisual plugins? [18:14] Jucato, no plugins aren't [18:14] heh, now i can't install flashplugin-nonfree because of some md5sum error [18:14] trappist: is there any danger in using kwin with compiz? i hate the themes that emerald has [18:14] (you can't use kwin with compiz...) [18:15] t4m1n0: this is why god invented error messages. the two possible causes for your failure were right there in the error message. [18:15] yo can use KDE w/ compiz... but not kwin w/ compiz... [18:15] sigma: what you want is "compiz-kde" [18:15] there is the kde themes thang for compiz. but i forget the package name. [18:16] does anyone know how to enter Greek characters in Kile WITHOUT typing $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ ? [18:16] You can use emerald themes, the gtk themes, or the kwin themes. wasent there another? [18:16] sigma: I think the compiz-kde package contains a window decorator called kde-window-decorator [18:16] trappist, I've installed libvisual-0.4-plugins but still no visuals.. [18:16] t4m1n0: have you restarted amarok? [18:16] trappist, no [18:16] BluesKaj: I went to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320252 but the F8 trick in GRUB did of course not work [18:16] trappist, I guess I don't understand thos whole thing [18:17] nosrednaekim: ya installed that as well - is that what allows kwin to be used with compiz? im using kwin with compiz now, just want to know if there is any danger in doing so as all the online docs refer to emerald [18:17] t4m1n0: in some apps stuff like that might work without restarting, but amarok probably loads all that stuff at runtime [18:17] sigma: no, there is no danger. [18:17] if i was to cd to desktop fom termal ,what would it look like? [18:17] http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org has some info on the 3 theme methods [18:18] sigma: just run "kde-window-decorator --replace&" from a run dialog [18:18] is there any news about ati opening drivers ? [18:18] t4m1n0: yeah, Novell just released a beta driver [18:18] hi, there is a free translation to spanish of J. Riddell announcement about Kubuntu session on december 15th here: http://agustin.ejerciciosresueltos.com/ , if somebody knows any spanish developer that wants to attend [18:19] toscalix: #kubuntu-devel [18:19] ups sorry [18:19] rickey: cd ~/Desktop [18:19] nosrednaekim, is there any repo for debian/ubuntu ? [18:19] t4m1n0: not that I know of, but you can do it from source [18:20] patricio, on the off chance you grub menu is lacking something pastebin it so we can have a gander at it : alt+F2 ,kdesu kate /root/boot/grub [18:20] nosrednaekim, can u update me with some links please ? [18:20] t4m1n0: unfortunately not [18:21] patricio, sorry , kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst === robert__ is now known as mrdigital [18:22] so is there a fix for installing flashplugin-nonfree? it says there is a md5sum mismatch and that it won't install it. [18:22] so whats some cool apps i should install? [18:23] joseph: sounds like the repo you're getting it from is broked [18:23] BluesKaj: the paste is on: http://pastebin.com/m7f0814ba [18:23] what is your regular flashplayer version, joseph ? [18:23] joseph: also there's a newer version available from adobe.com, with a lot of very nice new features [18:24] BluesKaj: the entry seems fine to me, grub starts at hd0,0 for hda1 and hd0,2 should be hda3 [18:24] BluesKaj: in about:plugins in firefox, it's saying the version is Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 [18:24] helo [18:25] should i install beryl? [18:25] trappist: i don't really care about new features, i just want it to work in konqueror [18:25] mrdigital: no, use compiz-fusion [18:25] BluesKaj: it's saying the same version in about:plugins in konqueror, too [18:26] so youtube works in firefox, but not in konqueror [18:26] yeah patricio you grub menu.lst looks ok [18:27] joseph: what version of flash? === berner_24m is now known as tuxinator [18:27] Jucato: 9.0 r115 [18:28] joseph, when i had that trouble with konq I cleared all the plugins out and redid the scan for plugins ...and chose default [18:28] Just tried youtube in konq/ works fine. [18:28] joseph: yeah it doesn't work yet in Konqueor [18:28] Konqueror [18:30] why does the file search feature in konqueror not work? [18:30] Mine works just fine. [18:30] youtube in konq. [18:30] sigma: I think thats a filter plugin [18:30] Radi01, it depends on your plugins setup ...it's a bit finicky on some pcs [18:30] ah ok [18:30] Jucato: ok, so what version do i need to get to work in konqueror? [18:31] BluesKaj: so you reverted your konqueror defaults then? [18:31] youtube is ok on konq too here [18:31] BluesKaj: and what do you mean by cleared all the plugins out? [18:31] nosrednaekim: what you mean? [18:31] BluesKaj: what version of flash are you using on that? [18:31] joseph: 9.0.64 I think [18:31] Is there a plugin like (no script) for konq? [18:31] Jucato: so how do i get that? [18:32] joseph, delete them from konq and do a scan for plugins [18:32] hi can somebody tell me how i can remove all kde komponets from my kubuntu ?

[18:32] tuxianer, uninstall kubuntu-desktop [18:32] does anyone know why the search feature in konqueror does not work? [18:32] Jucato: ok, so that says 9.0.48.0.2 [18:33] joseph: yeah. I think that should work better [18:33] kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package. i dident think removeing it would remove much of anything. [18:33] sigma: i have a very slow computer and i want to install icewm as a window manager but i want to save space of my hard drive [18:33] not really sure about the 9.0. 64 btw [18:33] Jucato: so where do i download it? [18:33] so i want to remove kde and install only the light and small compontens [18:33] KDE has a lot of nioce tools that will work with icewm. [18:33] joseph: install it with apt-get or Adept Manager [18:33] tuxianer: why not just use xubuntu? [18:33] I recall a web site that listed the proper way to uninstall kde, but i forget the url. [18:34] Jucato: if i tell apt-get to install flashplugin-nonfree i get that md5sum mismatch error [18:34] !kdelite [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdelite - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:34] !kdelight [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdelight - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:34] BluesKaj: could I access my windows-partition using wine? [18:34] it takes a long time to install it [18:34] a VERY VERY long time [18:34] tuxianer, but then you have to install a desktop like fluxbox or xfce ,if you want one [18:34] just install icewm, or jwm, or openbox, and select it from the login screen. Of course if you remove kde. you wont have KDM. [18:34] joseph: hm ok... that's another problem altogether.. [18:34] i want to have xdm [18:35] fire up the package manager (synpatic i guess) search for kde. and start Uninstalling I guess. :) or google and find that site im thinkng of. [18:36] Jucato: Download done. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [18:36] im thinking the total of the kde packages dont take up that much space.. unless you got like a 3gb hd. :) [18:36] wine runs in linux patricio , you have to copy the apps over from windows using ntfs-3g or ntfs-config [18:36] lol 3gig h/d. [18:36] we are talking about a really small hd [18:36] patricio, i find it best to reinstall the apps with wine. [18:36] what are the keyboard shortcuts for the diff stuff in compviz? [18:36] I saw a 4gb USB drive for $40 over the weekend. :) [18:37] i think this will help me : apt-get remove kde && apt-get remove kde* [18:37] Best buy had 1 [18:37] mrdigital, install ccsm and use its settings/shortcuts to explore what all plugins are using what. Ive seen no easy way to see 'what all is used' in a nice page. [18:37] Dr_willis: i get them for +/- $20 :P [18:37] pny mem tho. [18:37] ScorpKing, yep. they had the sony Mini usb 2gb for $20. m [18:38] nah, 4GB [18:38] its Tiny tiny.. but i cant get a linux to install to it. :( [18:38] Jucato: i don't understand that md5sum error.

[18:56] kubuntux: You want to ask something about jabber, but that's all I understand. Can you ask in English or try on #kubuntu-de? [18:57] Is it possible to install opera for AMD_64 from a repository, or only via dpkg ? [18:58] MurielGodoi, you can do "sudo apt-get clean" [18:58] that should delete the packages stored in /var/cache/apt [18:58] Jucato: so is there a webpage that talks about the new version not working in konqueror? a bug report maybe? [18:59] fannagoganna: cool, that worked fine. thanks [18:59] joseph: not sure. if you want a more authoritative answer, try #kde or #khtml but it was in #kde that I heard about it [18:59] cox377: sorry no idea about that [18:59] Jucato: np, cheers anyway [19:09] joseph, I think the reason flash works on konq on my setup is i don't have flashplayer installed , only the flashplugin-nonfree [19:09] hm [19:10] is there a guide to making kbuntu look like mac? [19:11] joseph, you may want to uninstall flashpler9 and leave flashplugin alone :) [19:11] BluesKaj: i don't have any packages called flashplayer* installed [19:11] there is libflash-swfplayer [19:11] is that what you mean? [19:11] yes [19:12] try "apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" That works least painfully [19:12] fannagoganna: not really [19:12] BluesKaj: ok [19:12] are you looking for a flash program? [19:12] not flashplayer , flashplugin-nonfree [19:13] fannagoganna: it doesn't work in konqueror. [19:13] * genii sips a coffee [19:13] to get it working in konqueror, let me check...

I select the IMG and burn it but they all turn out corrupt. not just a single IMG file but all :( [19:27] hi there again. i got here some old crap...little bit tuned, but still, gotcha problem with mplayer and xorg itself...there are per five mins peaks up to 90% CPU load, with picture distortion. i got installed w32 codecs as well as ffmpeg, but there are still glitches.

I just mounted the IMG file to extract the contents. will try burning like that [19:35] vbgunz, try converting it with kiso first , then try to play it in VLC to make sure it's not corrupted [19:35] VLC will play iso files [19:35] kiso?

Today I bought a 1Gb USB key, I used qtparted to partition and format it to fat32. Was this wise and is there anything else I need to do for it? [21:24] ardchoille: Dunno about wise. [21:24] genii: ? [21:24] I did notice that kde popped up a dialog asking me what to do when I plugged it in [21:24] we have to select 'kubuntu recovery' everytime from the grub menu when starting, otherwise, it just goes to a blank screen and never shows what's happening, and it doesn't go to kdm [21:24] ardchoille, the usb keys are normally natively formatted to fat 32 or even fat16 [21:25] So I assume it's all working properly [21:25] BluesKaj: it was fat16, but kde didn't recognise the fs, it recognises it now, tho [21:25] i can delete the other option and rename the recovery prompt to 'kubuntu'... but.. this is a fresh install [21:25] yes, it prolly is working ok now, ardchoille [21:26] ardchoille: Since under 4gb the fat 4gb filesize limit means nothing in this case. But you won't be able to use linux permissions well on it, also fat filesystems need the old "scandisk" type of maintenance which is a pita from linux [21:26] BluesKaj: Ok, thanks. I couldn't pass it up as it only cost $5.00 [21:26] strange I bought a 1G key 2 yrs ago and it was fat32 [21:26] and i always have to enter 'exit' because while booting, it logs in as root [21:26] and then it starts kdm [21:26] cool , ardchoille good deal :) [21:26] any thoughts? [21:26] genii: Yeah. I chose fat32 because I will likely use it between a Linux box and a Windows box [21:27] ardchoille: Then you can use the windows box in this case to occasionally scandisk/defrag it :) [21:27] Ah, yeah [21:27] genii: Does Windows recognise ext3? Maybe I could have partitined it to ext3 [21:28] ardchoille: fs-driver.org has ext2 driver which can read ext3 also (without the journalling) [21:28] ok [21:29] I'm not usre if Vista has some builtin ext driver or not [21:29] usre->sure [21:29] is there any way... to test the security of my firewall?

Nach dem Booten laden ich im Ammeldefenster von Gusty. Bildschirm (17" CRT) zeigt wie gewünscht 85Hz an. Dann nach dem Einloggen und starten von KDE springt die Darstellung um auf 75Hz. Gibt's denn außer /etc/X11/xorg.conf noch benutzerabhängige Xserver Konfig-Dateien?

[22:01] the packages refuse to configure beacuse of dependency issues [22:01] Sorry for posting in german. [22:07] Ok, now in english. I wonder why the CRTs frequency is switching back from 85Hz (Gusty login screen) to 75Hz after login an starting kde. Are there any other user dependent config files for xserver than xorg.conf in /etc/X11? [22:07] Linux is best ever:-) [22:07] KDE does lots of stupid crap [22:07] It's probably changing the resolution itself for some dumb reason [22:07] Try xrandr [22:07] !xrandr [22:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about xrandr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:07] Who deleted that?

[22:10] Ok, what does xrandr tell me? [22:10] If packages are broken, you can try to add dummy packages, preferably compile what needs to be done yourself [22:10] KaTet: xrandr is a tool to change the screenmode [22:11] I think I've to read man page. [22:12] That'd be the best option [22:12] But bakc to the config files. xorg.conf is the only place to configre xserve, is this right? [22:12] I haven't used xrandr in ages [22:12] Right, but applications can change the screen mode at will [22:12] Like games that grab the display and switch to full screen [22:13] These are allowed to alter screen modes [22:13] So, in my case kde is the application that changes it, right? [22:14] It would seem so [22:14] Why, I don't know [22:14] KDE does some stupid things, and I try not to think about why stupid things are done, usually because the reason is stupid [22:14] lol [22:15] Where is the file where kde has it's configuration about that? === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [22:26] Hi all, can someone please give me a download script (can it be done from adept?) with the current state of your packages?

[22:29] no update my offline box from a windows box :( [22:29] I cannot install linux at work, obviously [22:31] wish if there were an online app that'd do just that, specify ARCH, packages and hardware, which'll then take all of it to generate a download script [22:31] fenderbender: is your gutsy at home the final gutsy install? [22:31] fenderbender: there is a app that can do almost that. apt-zip [22:31] but it needs to be installed on the offline computer. [22:31] fdoving: i am running feisty. i've got the gutsy gibbon cd. [22:31] to make a list of urls to download. [22:32] fdoving: yeah, i used to do that with synaptic. either way, its not inconvenient. what i am trying to figure out is how to get most of the typical packages while i am at work. [22:32] fenderbender: if you just want gutsy updates, then you can fetch the complete gutsy-updates and gutsy-security repos. [22:33] oh. that sounds useful.
