[00:00] nexamac: scour your /var/log/kernel and messages for the any "snd_XYZ" problems [00:00] if you have a similar messages in your logs then we could have just been thrown a bone! [00:00] >_> [00:01] o.O why is my cat eating my chips? WTF! Anywho fincan: sorry, I don't understand. [00:01] terran4000: after booting livecd or installed ubuntu on the other hdd, I must shutdown pc because in raid boot screen one of the raid membered hdd seems as offline till shutdown [00:01] fincan: what raid boot screen? [00:02] terran4000: next screen after bios's 1 [00:03] ah [00:04] fincan: ok, so ... if you boot into ubuntu (live cd or one installed on another hd) and once you reboot the HD will not show up in the raid thingy on boot correct? [00:04] * terran4000 hopes what he just said made sense [00:05] terran4000: yeap :) [00:05] ok, that's just plain weird. [00:05] The fact that I made sense that is. [00:06] ok ok ... [00:06] So [00:07] if you have everything setup fine, and the drive shows up in the raid thingy at boot ... but then you boot to a live cd, do nothing in there and just reboot, the drive won't show up anymore. [00:07] terran4000: there was another odd thing, I had not had any problem with 7.10 beta or alpha :) [00:07] fincan: Do you have a dedicated raid card or are you using the 'onboard' raid controller that is part of the motherboard? [00:07] onboard 1, ich8 intel [00:08] ok, [00:08] terran4000: and still no problem with 6.10 :) [00:08] one thing I can say from experience ... don't use it and completely ignore any 'raid' stuff the motherboard gives ya [00:08] terran4000: but I wanna use new 1s :) [00:09] I know, I understand. === dave__ is now known as davekempe [00:09] I'm guessing you have some important info on that raid right? [00:09] which server is the easiest to configure for sharing to windows? [00:09] terran4000: my windows setup and all archives on raid :) [00:09] easiest by newbie standards that is [00:10] mark__: you mean which software? or which version of linux? [00:10] fincan: eh .. bleh. [00:10] which software [00:10] mark__: samba probably [00:11] terran4000: yeap I m the luckest man in the linux world :) [00:11] fincan: Well, you're luck is about to change ;-) [00:11] terran4000: Search string 'snd_xyz' not found! [00:11] thanks [00:11] * terran4000 shakes fist at nexamac [00:12] terran4000: anyway, still I ve a hope XD [00:12] terran4000: thx [00:12] nexamac: I didn't mean "snd_xyz" literally. [00:12] :> [00:12] fincan: dmraid is made to work with hardware raid and stuff [00:12] motherboards these days don't do that [00:12] even though they claim so [00:13] Plus, they're all made for Windows, thus linux can only play catchup [00:13] the raid is all done in software really.. [00:13] yeah [00:13] exactly [00:13] do i have to restart to run samba? [00:13] amarok is not working, forgot the workaround === ubuntu__ is now known as ubuntu__test1751 [00:13] its installed but i can't find it [00:13] With the use of the hardware raid thingy from your motherboard .... linux has trouble with that [00:13] but this s some odd, while I was using 6.10 why it doesnt work anymore :) [00:13] to get one thats all hardware your looking at $400 bucks US to start.. [00:14] for the love of.. [00:14] You're best bet would be to not run it that way :-( [00:14] How do I unlock a locked folder? [00:14] hardware raid works great on linux :-) [00:14] fincan: sorry it's not exactly great news but it's the best I can give. Maybe someone else can do better. My apologies for not helping more. === nexamac is now known as NexaMac [00:15] terran4000:thx anyway m8, as I said I ve a little hope only :) [00:15] heh, cheers fincan.

I don't use software raid anymore these days.. Moved up to all hardware solutions..

I ran it on dapper here as well.. all software raid implementation.. Didn't have any problems.. I have tried to mess with it on feisty or gusty [00:22] NexaMac: Hmmm, their proposed solution might work. Worth a try. No harm in it. [00:23] genii, resolution: 96x100 dots per inch <-- shouldn't it be a square? [00:23] biovore: I m using 6.10 without any problem, but newer 1 ll be nice :) [00:23] fincan: yeah.. 6.06 is the LTS so they worry about minor details like that.. [00:24] biovore: thx u too for answers [00:24] fincan: might have to wait for the next LTS before DM-Raid works again.. [00:24] what's the command for updating all packages?

[00:25] Schuenemann: No, if you have for instance 10x10 the aspect ratio of your monitor makes it not look like a square. Think of sqare 15" monitor which is set for ratios like 1024x768 or such [00:26] genii, yeh, you're right... [00:26] terran4000: ./configure [00:27] NexaMac: ok ... what was the error?

[01:27] !dolphin [01:27] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [01:27] genii, this has no effect, I changed to 76 and it's EXACLY the same [01:29] Schuenemann: And you exited to login then did ctrl-backspace or else restarted entirely the x server? If no change then likely ubuntu is overriding someplace :/ [01:29] Schuenemann: Does the login screen seem different at all?

[02:14] genii, it didn't change anything... omg [02:15] genii, I ran that command before and after changing and it displayed the same DPI [02:15] Schuenemann: I'm fresh outta ideas then at this point [02:15] !beryl | TheWhiteRook [02:15] TheWhiteRook: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [02:16] ok, thanx [02:22] TheWhiteRook: compiz works fine tho [02:23] yeah, I tried it a bit ago, and then had to do a format and fresh install (though not cuz of compiz), and I had used Beryl in the spring when I was using gnome... and remembered that it worked really well... [02:27] genii, well, thanks [02:28] !compiz [02:28] 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 [02:28] umm ok no in the room that uses midi along with jack?, sometimes I get some kind of pop up saying "jack is being used by another program" sorta warning, can I only use I program with jack at a time?

[02:37] Any idea why when I start fusion-icon as myself, fusion icon refuses to dock but when I start it via kdesu, it docks fine? [02:38] no idea [02:38] hi, i see, to be having a problem. i had a problem that i couldnt resolve, so i decided i would make a new partition, put a new install of kubuntu on it then keep the old partition (because it has aboue 100gb of data on it) and i could just use it as my /home directory and have the new partiton for the OS only. so i installed it, and now it wont boot up. it keeps booting up to the old OS (on the old partiton) how can i fix this? [02:39] any idea why the window I click on doesn't come to the foreground unless I click on the title bar (with compiz) [02:42] I am a guy and love wearing push up bras [02:42] Visit your local men wearing bras message board today!

I have to edit manually everytime to get kubuntu to load. [04:45] bargainmart: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:46] oh thats simple [04:48] Hey, was looking for some help... Trying to connect via FTP (Konqueror, Dolphin) and normally it's fine [04:48] However one username has an @ in it, I tried replacing it with + or %40 [04:48] And at first load it's fine, but any other actions after that [04:48] Make the url into ftp://xxx...x@.com [04:49] It truncates most of the username and so it doesn't work =/ [04:49] Any ideas anybody? :) [04:53] This sucks, I expect it's a KDE issue as it effects both Konqueror and Dolphin :( [04:55] I have kubuntu gutsy installed with the medibuntu repo defined. I'm trying to get my system to play back mp3's but without success. I've installed gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 and ubuntu-restricted-extras but still no go. I can open dolphin with audiocd:/MP3 and see the files, but no playback. What am I missing? [04:56] kubuntu-restricted-extras console_jockey? [04:57] arg! I install ubuntu-restriced-extras.... [04:57] gstreamer vs xine iirc [04:57] although when I try to install kubuntu-restricted-extra's there is nothing more to install... [04:58] I installed the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [04:58] not xine though [04:59] ah what is it--libxine1-ffmpeg? memory fails me at the moment [04:59] !find ffmpeg [04:59] Found: ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, libxine1-ffmpeg, moc-ffmpeg-plugin [04:59] I appear to have installed libxine1-ffmpeg as well... [04:59] odd [05:00] yeah [05:00] using amarok on gutsy? [05:00] what happens when I try to play an mp3 is the player loads but not time is indicated and of course nothing plays. [05:00] amorak on gutsy as well as noatun [05:01] for all of your mp3? [05:01] when I try to play an mp3 on amarok it prompts me to install mp3 support then doesn't do anything... which is also odd as this is how ive added support in the past. [05:03] yes, all mp3 [05:04] what engine is amarok using? you can fiddle with that and see if that helps [05:04] dont know [05:04] in configuration menu you can adjust it [05:05] using xine [05:05] try something else and see if that works [05:05] damn, I've gotten this to work on other machines.. and it wasn't this difficult. I recall one of those "ah-ha!" moments when I discovered the right lib but I can't remember what it was now... [05:05] there was no other choice in the drop down, so evidently I have installed another engine. [05:07] I would think that the install of ubuntu-restricted-extras is somehow conflicting with kubuntu-restricted-extras; otherwise another engine install might do it--not sure though--this is fairly critical though [05:08] let me remove the ubuntu and try to reinstall kubuntu [05:08] does xmms or any other media player play them? if so then it is an amarok engine problem [05:09] or just plain old vlc [05:09] just as a test obviously--not a full time solution [05:18] I will check [05:19] worth a shot--this is something that needs to be solved though--probably number two behind web connection imo [05:21] xine-ui won't play nor will vlc... something is definitely wrong [05:22] then not an amarok issue [05:22] nope, not amarok. it's just won't let me play mp3's [05:24] now, I am getting something from xine stating no demuxer was located to play the mp3... [05:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566021 this seems to be somewhat similar [05:25] libxine1-extracodecs iirc === bruno_ is now known as ghost22 [05:34] ok, now I think I'm going crazy. I had thought maybe I hadn't been playing mp3's on this machine but now I know I have as I found a whole host of files I was playing for the longest time. I think I may have installed something that broke libxine1. When I aptitude install libxine1 I get a message that it's broken and then it suggests that I remove a whole host of applications... [05:36] console_jockey: so it seems the kubuntu/ubuntu restricted deal may have been it after all, or at least the most likely candidate [05:37] i dont use that package. i prefer installing everything manually [05:39] so whens the next beta of hardy coming out? [05:40] alpha you mean? that would be in #ubuntu+1 [05:46] i have an issue with iptables any proficent ones here ? [05:47] i can work through the box one dirrection but not the other way thus i assume it's an iptables issue [05:49] guarddog is a decent front end for iptables as is (gnome) firestarter--have you tried either of those? [05:50] Q-collective ??? wasn't that Q-continuim and borg collective ? [05:50] bazhang well no. working cli here. but i can try them [05:50] intelikey: gotta love the mix ;) [05:51] heh. the Q gets assemilated [05:51] universe is screwed :p [05:52] even species 4872 has had it no doubt [05:52] ok guarddog installed i'll give it a look see === catalin is now known as catalin1234 [05:56] hello [05:56] wyoh! you call that a "decent front end for iptables" i'm totally lost there. i mean completely clueless. [05:56] catalin1234 [05:56] can you uninstall 'konqueror' or is it a must-have for kubuntu [05:56] i have firefox right now [05:57] i know how to uninstall it, i just don't know if it's safe [05:57] test sudo apt-get remove konqueror [05:57] that will list anything it is going to take with it. [05:58] and if it were to only list "kubuntu-desktop" that would be fine. no loss at all. [05:58] it said "too many arguments" [05:58] bash: test: too many arguments [05:59] test is not part of the command i was sujesting. that's why the long gap. [05:59] konq makes a fine filemanager aswell catalin1234 [06:00] that's the thing that worries me... i know it's a file manager [06:00] konqueror is a file manager. it just does web stuff too [06:00] konqueror is more an umbrella that keeps together kparts ;) [06:00] but for file manager i always use dolphin [06:01] question is... [06:01] if i take out konq [06:01] catalin1234: konqueror is just a shell for kio_slaves. It is, IMHO, as safe as any other web browser. I'm very security-minded and I use konq as my default web browser. [06:01] do the kparts fall apart [06:01] catalin1234: better to switch to gnome than try and take that out [06:02] catalin1234: well, try it. If it goes wrong then just reinstall konq [06:02] test# sudo apt-get remove konqueror [06:02] simple [06:02] hi all! [06:02] I waana to that Kubuntu 8.10 will be LTS or not? [06:02] *wanna [06:02] mohi: No, it will not be LTS === Danni is now known as Dannilion [06:03] mohi: Oh, 8.10? No idea. But 8.04 will not be LTS [06:03] ardchoille note 8.10 [06:03] yeah... [06:03] okey [06:03] thanx [06:03] intelikey: Yeah, misread for a sec :) [06:03] ardchoille: when would it be completely desisioned? [06:04] ok i'm going to try to learn what in sams hill guarddog does... [06:04] ardchoille: I mean when can we be sure of this? [06:04] mohi some time after 8.4 releases [06:04] mohi: when canonical says so [06:05] mohi: You can be sure that 8.04 will not be an LTS release.. that decision has been made already. [06:05] you mean that despite ubuntu 8.04 is LTS, Kubuntu may be LTS a version after this? [06:06] ardchoille: and officially? do you have link of news plz? [06:07] ok in guarddog under the 'zones' tab there are two 'internet' and 'local' and no way to affect either. why does it not see the nat ? [06:07] do i need to add it ? [06:07] ok, back with the mp3 questions. I've found that I had install mpg321 which, when I call it from the command line, will play the same mp3's that amarok, xine, noatun and vlc will not... what does that suggest? [06:07] mohi: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080107#news <-- 2nd article [06:08] dose any one know the command to make a simlink to a directory via terminal? [06:08] ln -s [06:08] ln -s source/dir/ link/name [06:08] more specifically ln -s /path/to/symlink symlinkname [06:08] thanks [06:08] vzduch: yeas.. I've seen this... may be something by caninical itself? [06:09] mohi: if you read the article, you haven't missed https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002099.html [06:09] * intelikey goes for firestarter to see if it makes anymore sense... [06:10] vzduch: its just a mailing list! I need news! I'm one of the admin members of ubuntu-ir and need a official news, I have to answer the questions in forums truely! [06:10] intelikey: imho there is no really good iptables frontend out there [06:11] it's really one of thos areas where usability lags behind [06:12] Q-collective yeah. guarddog certainly isn't one. [06:15] mohi: that message in the mailing list is from a Canonical employeee. It's accurate, and if you read it, you'll see why the decision was made. [06:16] why would a utility like mpg321 be able to playback mp3 files but not any other application i have? [06:16] dthacker: and I just wanna know your idea about this desision, generally.. ;) ? [06:17] mohi: I agree with the decision. The timing is not right for an LTS using KDE 4. [06:18] dthacker: and what about 8.10? do you like it to be LTS ? [06:18] If you want to continue this we should move it to offtopic, ;) [06:18] dthacker: and other question is : "is Kubuntu 8.04 comes with kde4 officially?" or kde3.5 ? or both? [06:19] as of now, both. but we're still in alpha.... [06:19] mohi: you can find all of that in this mailing list thread === rouzic_ is now known as rouzic_ausente [06:23] heh i try running the firestarter it kickstarts a wizard which asks which device is connected to the internet. but none are. so what do i answer to that one ? [06:26] have two devices eth0(192.168.0.0/24) and eth1(192.168.1.0/24) i don't want things from one nat blocked from the other nat. infact that's the problem that causes me to run guarddog/firestarter to unblock the 0 nat from accessing the 1 nat ? [06:26] ardchoille: nice! [06:26] about time imo === billing is now known as p0h0n [06:30] well from the best i can tell neither of those firewall scripts offer any option remotely close to what i need. === mmmoa is now known as some_dude [06:32] sorry intelikey just suggestions; not really my area [06:34] bazhang not blaming you. just saying they both seem to assume some kind of default setup/need and make no allowance for a non-default. [06:34] so I attempted to install the nvdia driver, then found the restricted nvidia driver. couldn't install, removed the nvidia I installed now the video works great, but I seem to have some how removed my sound driver [06:34] it's as if the writers think. "if they are setting up any thing iptables related, that means they want to block something." [06:35] Is there a way to see what the different colors represent on the output of an ls command in the terminal? [06:35] any ideas? [06:35] sperlo not unless your audio chip is getting a restricted module [06:36] I tried to lsmod snd-hda-intel and no luck [06:36] well the sound worked fine before I did the restricted driver [06:36] my sound may or may not be working [06:36] and what files control the virtual termainls? [06:37] well I got things working well then started on the video driver and now am soundless [06:39] john-charles The environment variable LS_COLORS can [06:39] influence the colors, and can be set easily by the dircolors command. [06:39] perhaps a clue-by-four [06:40] and what files control the virtual termainls? <<< ? what do you need/want ? [06:40] how much should I download to have KDE4 in my kubuntu? [06:41] Hi all [06:41] I am having an Acer Aspire 2920 laptop with Kubuntu 7.10 [06:41] It has an Intel Extreme x3100 card [06:41] which would be the best graphics driver for such a card? [06:41] some_dude basicly /etc/inittab assuming that upstart still uses one [06:42] I thought it was *i guess the old way* where it said vt1= /bin/getty or something like that [06:43] I'm trying to place a second kdm session vt8 [06:43] some_dude yeah should be an "/sbin/getty" linsting for each tty that init activates but that doesn't exactly "control" them [06:43] some_dude you don't want that then. you want /etc/kde/kdm/kdm* [06:44] .conf i think [06:44] which is the best driver for intel extreme graphics cards? [06:44] assuming kdm if gdm then /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [06:44] the "intel" or the "i810" driver? [06:44] I need to edit the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file i think [06:44] how much should I download by adept to have KDE4 in my kubuntu? [06:45] some_dude yeah kdmrc guess so [06:45] good morning folks... was up today? [06:46] I'm not sure if I should be trying to edit the ServerVTs line or the StaticServers ? [06:47] It would be nicer if kdm ran on VT7, then did a transfer to VT8, 9, 10 for each new session [06:48] it should/used to [06:48] how can I find out spesific permissins a user have? [06:48] by default i mean ^ [06:48] mohi groups [06:49] intelikey: by konsole ? [06:49] mohi permissions are not set to a user but to the individual inodes [06:49] mohi yes [06:50] intelikey: oh! tanx! worked! ;) [06:50] intelikey: how much should I download by adept to have KDE4 on my kubuntu? [06:50] mohi sorry i don't even really understand the question, and if i did probably couldn't answer it. [06:51] * intelikey is using the LTS [06:51] mohi: you mean what to download in order to have kde4? [06:52] I mean I wanna have kde4 on this system! I wana have it istalled by adept and want to know how much does it download from internet to install it! [06:52] mohi: around 200 mb the most i think [06:53] DreadKnight: oh! tanx! [06:53] mohi: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members-kde4/+archive [06:54] I'd wait a while if I were you [06:54] mohi: but that is still rather old compared to source.... kde4 release is tomorow [06:54] i see [06:54] mohi: wait a day or to... then "sudo apt-get install kde4" :D [06:54] two* [06:55] the PPA is even broken since last update :| [06:55] DreadKnight: ;) [06:55] :) [07:00] DreadKnight: dou you think kde developers when would make kde4 on kubuntu ready? or maybe a live disk? [07:00] mohi: kde developers don't make distro packages. that's what distro developers/packagers do. :) [07:01] and yes, there will be JKDE 4.0 packages released ASAP... so please be patient for a little while longer [07:01] mohi: #kde4-release-party the official kde4 release is friday... you'll find the packages in the ubuntu/kubuntu repository tomorow or so [07:01] Jucato: oK! them... ? when do we have kubuntu live disk with kde4 [07:02] mohi: also, kubuntu 8.04 will ship with kde4 :D [07:02] does Dell Wireless 1395 work on kubuntu? [07:02] mohi: not entirely sure on that one. perhaps in Kubuntu Hardy (8.04) already [07:02] DreadKnight: boy! i wanna downloas sooner! [07:02] *doenload ;) [07:02] mohi: on a new kubuntu 8.04 milestone for sure :) [07:02] *download! wtf! [07:02] im getting video thats a bit jerky. what can i do to smooth it out? [07:03] mohi: compile from svn then :D [07:03] DreadKnight: I don't think so... [07:03] Jucato: don't think so about what? :D [07:03] perhaps in the Beta or RC, but not the alphas [07:03] Jucato: oh yeah :) [07:03] DreadKnight: hardy milestones/alpha releases [07:03] Jucato: the alpha still has kde3 [07:04] im streaming da videos over a wireless network [07:04] unless it has changed, there will be 2 Kubuntu Hardy versions. one with KDE 3.5.8 (or 3.5.9) and one with KDE 4.0 [07:04] isnt kubuntu hardy alpha 3 due out today? [07:05] sigma_1234: is it? :D hmm.. i'll check about it.. perhaps will include kde4 ^^ [07:06] yeah the release schedule says 10 jan [07:06] [08:20] will KDE4 be in alpha 3? [07:06] [08:23] corevette: no [07:06] DreadKnight: ^^^^ [07:06] which is today [07:07] (that was what I was referring to by "don't think so" earlier) [07:08] kde4 would only be in it if the alpha was released tomorrow [07:08] sigma_1234: nope [07:09] Jucato: xD mrrr [07:09] sigma_1234: this things take planning and time ;) next milestone for sure [07:09] and work :D [07:10] so when will kde4 appear in the hardy alphas? [07:11] we'll see how the 4.0.0 release is first, then decide [07:14] why do i get this error checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [07:14] !b-e [07:15] * stdin slaps ubotu [07:15] install "build-essential" [07:16] !ping [07:16] bot down! bot down!

[10:13] onishidato, ps -ef | grep skim [10:14] onishidato, kill the most left hand process number [10:14] can you explain more?? [10:14] i don't know what to do:( [10:15] onishidato, type the commands in konsole [10:15] onishidato, it will show you the processes named skim [10:15] then you will kill them [10:16] hi, i was on here earlier...i was told there was a way to put synaptic on instead of Adept (the main reason i don't use Kubuntu). My past efforts at this have failed putting me in dependency hell. I just reinstalled...can someone help me with this? [10:17] how can i kill? [10:17] onishidato, kill [10:17] gosh had me worried there for a sec (coming in on the middle of how do i kill?) [10:17] athena, just use sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [10:18] onishidato, its the leftmost number [10:18] i don't know how to use the apt system very well [10:18] or what to put in...for the synaptic manager [10:18] athena, you dont need to :) [10:18] 1000 6285 5584 0 17:17 pts/1 00:00:00 grep skim this is what i got [10:18] so just go to the terminal and write that In? [10:18] onishidato, then its not running [10:18] and i will get synaptic on the system [10:19] athena, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [10:19] but sometime it auto start without my permission [10:19] :( [10:19] onishidato, is there a symlink to it in ~/.kde/autostart ? [10:20] ok, i'm doing this [10:20] athena, those commands will update your repository knowledges and thendownload any updates you may need [10:21] so how does that get me the synaptic manager? [10:21] athena, if you want to install software just type sudo apt-get install [10:21] is it in adept...because when i got it there before...i went into dependency hell [10:21] athena, sudo apt-get install synaptic when its done :) [10:21] athena, apt resolves deps for you :) [10:21] hmm...wish i had known this a while ago (always learning) [10:22] athena, do you need updates by any chance? [10:22] yes, i just installed. [10:22] so it's taking it's time updating at the moment [10:22] athena, ok cool, get those then sudo apt-get install synaptic (if its not already installed) [10:22] athena, see how you go from there [10:22] also i need to add some new repositories to get my system working (drivers and such) [10:23] parsnip: 3button seems to only be for the touchpad. I've fixed the touchscreen to send right clicks now. Thanks for the help [10:23] ok thanks! [10:23] Now I just need to find out who the fpit maintainer is [10:23] athena, kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list [10:23] jamii, np dude, glad its somewhat better :) [10:24] (there's also a nice GUI for that in Adept Manager, Adept menu -> Manage Repositories) [10:25] Jucato: isnt there any plan to improve Adept's UI? [10:25] Jucato, i always hust edit the file [10:25] Jucato: except Inkscape, i only miss Synaptic in kde :( [10:25] emilsedgh: there are. mornfall is working on it again, and yuriy is helping him with it.. but mostly for kde4 === athena is now known as Cassandra [10:25] Jucato: YES! === Cassandra is now known as Athena18 [10:26] Jucato: better, who cares about kde3 anymore :P [10:26] * Jucato does [10:26] and so will most of the KDE-using world :P [10:26] * ActionParsnip ActionParsnip does [10:27] anyway, not sure if there will be anything in store for Adept in KDE 3... [10:27] (most probably nothing entirely new) [10:27] emilsedgh: I do, I care about both of them [10:27] * emilsedgh doesnt, its stable, keep bug fixes for a few years and then leave it... [10:28] bug fixes is part of caring [10:28] emilsedgh: aye, that's good if you can think that way, I can't ;) [10:28] Jucato: big part [10:28] any word on what distro will be using the kde4 final release? [10:28] I just wait for whatever updates I get. [10:28] bazhang: we? [10:28] bazhang: any distro that will provide packages :) [10:28] ActionParsnip: I just try to ruin all updates you get [10:29] jucato Tm_T thanks! [10:29] * Tm_T hides [10:29] Kubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora (they have a crazy plan), Debian, etc, etc, etc, [10:29] Tm_T, haha cheers :) [10:29] Jucato: are you on kde4 now? [10:29] nope [10:29] well it will be a while before i find out who things work...updating will take 3 hours [10:29] two sorry [10:29] emilsedgh: umm, why asking? [10:29] i've heard horror stories about kde4....is it really non-customisable...or was that a bad rumour [10:29] <_Shade_> alpha3 is about to take off today. When should i expect any announcement about it? [10:29] Tm_T: just wanted to know, what about you? [10:30] * Jucato points Athena18 to Beineri's post: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3174 for some "warnings" [10:30] Athena18: well it's not "ready" in that sense, but yes it has more customisation options than GNOME [10:30] emilsedgh: I have both KDE 3 and 4 [10:30] due to it not being "ready" i will not be "upgrading" [10:30] * Jucato would love to put "KDE 4.0 != KDE 4" in the topic at some point... [10:30] well...what i heard was you could only have one panel at the bottom...i love my three panels with my own icons! [10:30] Jucato: haha [10:31] * Jucato points ActionParsnip to the link as well [10:31] ActionParsnip: I use them both, they don't rule each others out [10:31] anyway, this is slipping to chitchat [10:32] <_3> speakin of kde 4... any good? worried about destroying my system.. unsure if its worth it compared to kde 3.5.8 .. .and how does it go with compiz?? [10:32] _3: you don't need compiz with it, but yes you can have them both [10:32] _3: its Stable now, but not that customizable.also a few applications are not ported yet and you should use 3.x version [10:32] Tm_T, I'm a very casual user. I'm not to bothered for prettys or stuff like that.Chat and browse, yeah I need the latest gumf [10:32] thanks for the link...doesn't look as bad as i heard (or more like it will improve in all likelyhood [10:32] _3: it's good as a point 0 release can be. why would it destroy your system. it has it's own fancy effects [10:32] ActionParsnip: how can i know it? === _3 is now known as ima-n00b [10:33] onishidato, know what? [10:33] but eventually it will be customizable with the 4.1 [10:33] ? [10:33] Athena18: it *will* improve [10:33] Athena18: and more after it, and so on [10:33] ActionParsnip: is there a auto start link? [10:33] good, i was loathing giving up KDE...but i thought i might have to! [10:34] best to head to #kde for these kind of questions? [10:34] ok thanks (was _3 but it wasnt meant to be that nick)... i was meaning stabiltiy / apps ported / customisation wise [10:34] and yes i knew it was more or less in BETA but still it sounded like a huge change [10:34] Athena18: hopefully... remember, the current "customizable" version you are using is 3.5... that's 5 major releases after 3.0... so just imagine how much KDE 4 will progress as you go from 4.0 to 4.1 to 4.2 , etc [10:34] ok [10:34] so all my questions were answered.. thanks :) [10:34] 4.0 is so stable now, its no more 'Beta Quality' [10:34] join channel #cc [10:35] oops...how do i join another channel (still new to IRC) [10:35] Tm_T, if I just chat and browse and I'm not too fussd for prettys then I'm not getting KDE4 until its in repos and I accidentally pull it down with my automatic updates [10:35] ActionParsnip: how can i know if there is a auto start link to my program?? [10:35] Athena18: /join #channelname [10:35] thanks...! [10:35] morning... i just tried to install the latest alpha and i noticed something rather weird (but absolutely reproducable): i have two nvidia cards in my system. after running the installer for a few minutes, suddenly all monitors go blank (and tell me that there's no signal) [10:35] no worries :} [10:36] it's not happening at some magic point during installing, but seems rather time-based [10:36] onishidato, check ~/.kde/Autostart, there will be a symlink file in there [10:36] mueslix: hardy? [10:36] anyone ever experienced something similar [10:36] yes [10:36] #ubuntu+1 mueslix [10:36] ActionParsnip: yes, isn't it great to have choices ;) [10:36] oh, i just realised another question... apps that are built for kde 3.. they wont have been ported yet (eg ktorrent, kvirc, smb4k) [10:36] bazhang: i assumed it's a general issue, nothing kubuntu specific [10:37] ima-n00b: btw, KDE 4.0 isn't BETA [10:37] i'm not looking for a magic fix (yet), i'm just wondering if anyone experienced something similar, maybe even with gutsy [10:37] Tm_T, yeah it is but i just want no viri / spyware system. I can do stuff with my system but when i get back from work I cant be bothered [10:37] i did have similar issues once during the filesystem check at bootup. if the system doesn't load the nvidia drivers quickly enough the cards go haywire [10:38] Tm_T: cool.. but i would still need kde3 to run kde3 apps under kde4 right? [10:38] ActionParsnip: ok, now you lost me, but prolly wasn't anything important [10:38] ima-n00b: IIRC no [10:38] ima-n00b: or perhaps [10:38] ima-n00b: you don't need a full kde 3 session for that [10:38] ima-n00b: you can run kde 3 apps in a kde 4 session and vice versa [10:39] oh.. ok.. that makes things easier... sort of lol [10:40] hmm... may have a fun few days ahead of me... my kubuntu install isnt done by the traditional method... so it kinda takes longer [10:40] is theyre a good program to see partition usage? and how can i empty my swap or atleast temporarily shift it to a file! [10:40] ActionParsnip: where can i find it?? [10:41] XBehave: in a terminal type df -h [10:41] XBehave: free [10:41] or Filelight [10:41] emilsedgh: free is for memory usage though [10:41] Jucato: oh sorry [10:41] whats wrong with me today! [10:42] XBehave: there is a kdiskfree application too, i think [10:42] thx df -h is all i needed [10:43] sorry to be a pain again... another one about kde4... are the names that you use to install the packages the same as kde3.. so for example to install kde4 base you type sudo apt-get install kdebase ??? === hannah is now known as cassandra === cassandra is now known as cassandra18 [10:43] ima-n00b: mostly, except they'll have the number 4 (or 5 in the case of kdelibs) [10:44] Jucato: ok.. thanks.... [10:45] Jucato: why kdelibs is 5? [10:45] long story. Debian wackiness [10:45] and why its 4 in kde3 series? [10:45] <_Angelus_> guy,,, [10:46] <_Angelus_> nsplugin is crashing on konqueror, and not working on opera [10:46] <_Angelus_> but firefox is ok...

[12:07] is there a way to lock konqueror settings like firefox's firefox.cfg ? [12:11] hey all [12:13] waylandbill: what do you mean, like chmod u-w ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konueror.rc?

KMix just doesn't detect it, nor do I get any sound. [15:47] aplay -l gives "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..."

[16:07] genii: I try format j: /s and says invalid parameters or something like that... is there a way to make bootable dos zip thru Kubuntu? [16:07] wraithmagi: I'd suggest to get a boot disk image for 98 or so from bootdisk.com, then also the dos driver for the zip and put it on there. Boot to that floppy, format the zip drive from dos cli. then put the syslinux on it, along with whatever images you want it to load [16:08] k. I'll check to see if there is a dos driver for it.

[16:25] yes* [16:25] nosrednaekim: still "Unclaimed" :( [16:26] Captain_Haddock: then try snd_hda_intel [16:26] nosrednaekim: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found. [16:26] hmm not the right menu... try left clicking on the icon [16:26] At cpu option i have 3 options dynamic ...powersave and performance [16:27] ooo [16:27] ok [16:27] genii: you be on later? I'm going to be late for class... [16:28] done [16:28] wraithmagi: I'll be on today another 5 hours [16:28] genii: cool... gotta go... I'll probably be back on in like 2 hrs. or so. [16:29] Captain_Haddock: weird. [16:29] wraithmagi: OK, I'll be around. Don't be late for your class :) [16:29] nosrednaekim: it resolves OK on your box? [16:29] Captain_Haddock: might try searching for that sound chip and "ubuntu" on google [16:29] Captain_Haddock: yup..i'm using it right now. [16:29] thx! [16:29] nosrednaekim: FYI - it is detected fine on a fresh Gutsy install. This is an upgraded install on a different hard drive that I've had to move over to this system. [16:30] So, I'm not sure what's going on. [16:31] Captain_Haddock: yeah, well, sometimes things like this happen when you move things from one computer to another. [16:31] hi all! can anybody help me with lazarus? [16:31] mith__: he's already alive.... he don't need no help. [16:31] heh [16:31] XD [16:31] haha [16:31] nosrednaekim: you think I can do anything with the drivers available for download here? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.23.html [16:32] There's no special section for Debian or Ubuntu in it though. [16:32] Just RHEL, Fedora, Suse and SLES [16:32] thanks but it needs the "Free pascal source directory"....where can i find it? [16:32] Captain_Haddock: i'm sure the drivers are already in the kernel.... you just have to find out which exact module [16:32] Is there anyone who might be able to help with networking via a router? [16:33] nosrednaekim: I see. [16:33] nosrednaekim: Thanks for your time mate. Much appreciated! [16:33] mmhm, NP [16:35] how can i download the "Free pascal source directory" ? and where? [16:35] why the subtitle is not shown in the kaffetine? [16:35] colorlessblueide, a local network LAN , with windows on another pc [16:35] ? [16:36] BluesKaj: Basically a laptop running kubuntu 7.04 (currently) via the ethernet connection on a Linksys router. I have some set-up questions which I haven't been able to figure out the answer on as of yet. === Sbucatone is now known as Sbus === Sbus is now known as Sbusa [16:39] ok, colorlessblueide , so just dhcp to the router ? [16:39] does KDE applications such as Kopete rely on KDE for network settings? because when ever im at home Kopete and karegator refuses to work (using my wireless connection). but when im in the office plugged in to a lan connection it works fine. [16:39] how can i download the "Free pascal source directory" ? and where? [16:39] the thing is, Firefox and other non-kde applications appear to work fine [16:40] BluesKaj: Yep. Not sure how properly to set up router or kubuntu. Get an error after ifup eth0 of "chmod: cannon access /etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-new': No such file or directory." Also have gateway question on the router setting. [16:40] mith__: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2174&package_id=2252&release_id=538225 [16:40] E_mE: thats a problem with knetworkmanager and to a greater extent a kde service called KDED [16:41] nosrednaekim: how can i resolve it? [16:41] nosrednaekim: or where can i find out how to resolve it? [16:42] E_mE: try killing the KDED process [16:42] or, if you don't use knetworkmanager, kill it [16:42] mith__: You want either the amd or i386 fpc deb from there. [16:43] nosrednaekim: can i turn the services off permently? [16:43] genii: thanks i try it now [16:44] how can I get np: playing song with amarok and konversation? [16:45] colorlessblueide, right click on the knetworkmanager, check the wired network box, then manual configuration , checking the network interface ,routes and domain name for the internal IP [16:46] Are there going to be KDE 4.0 final packages for gutsy when it comes out in 2 days ? [16:48] zeEez: yep [16:48] BluesKaj: Thanks. Checking. There have been some changes since last I looked, which appear to be taking. Standby. === thiago_ is now known as chandeller [16:48] nosrednaekim: cool, thanks [16:49] !kde4 [16:49] kde4 is KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://tinyurl.com/2gqwmr - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php [16:49] they will be in that repo ^^ [16:49] i don't like the way it looks :-( [16:49] BluesKaj: Yes, it's now picking up the DNS, etc., from the router, and has the correct gateway setting. What I think it was doing was having its DHCP requiest serviced by a *remote* router on my homeLAN. But . . . still don't understand the resolv.conf.dhcp-client error. [16:50] lascar: Then fix it. :) [16:50] I installed 100 programs for video, and still can't go subtitles work? [16:51] should be able to work with vlc [16:51] BluesKaj: Also, are you familiar with router settings? I'm more of an apps programmer than a systems type, and some of this is a bit mysterious. [16:52] hi [16:52] ryan_: you misunderstand. It's clunky. Period. [16:52] kde 3 = best for me. [16:52] is it possible to start xampp without sudo, just as normal user? [16:53] colorlessblueide, trying the CLI option commands to setup a LAN with dhcp and routers is no longer necessary ...the knetworkmanager does a good job recognizing the router/gateway [16:54] nosrednaekim: http://pastebin.com/m5913a95d <-- lsmod seems to hint that the hda_intel driver is already being used :o [16:55] colorlessblueide, I just setup the router for various apps , otherwise I don't fool with the automatic settings , if the router is giving proper access to to the net. [16:55] BluesKaj: Yes, I hadn't noticed it before. Thanks for pointing it out. Do you have a recommended source of info for my router settings ( two Linksys WRT54Gs spread throughout the house). [16:56] colorlessblueide: damn annoying how the DHCP and subnet masks are hard coded in those admin panels :/ [16:56] Captain_Haddock: not hda_intel... but the 8x0 is working.. or at least modprobed [16:56] * Captain_Haddock just wanted to say that [16:56] hmm, 2 routers eh , not familiar with such a setup, colorlessblueide... I use just one router with 2 pcs and a laptop (all wired) [16:57] nosrednaekim: I see. I think I'm going to give up for today. Thanks again. [16:57] Captain_Haddock: ok. [16:57] sorry:( [16:58] But it's still great that I can just move my HD around from one system to another and still use Linux :) [16:58] colorlessblueide: what is the issue exactly. [16:58] ? [16:59] colorlessblueide, and I'm not familiar with Linksys setups [17:00] BluesKaj: Sorry, had to answer the door. Basically, the setup is . . . [17:01] BluesKaj: One wireless/ethernet router hooked up to cable modem. A second wireless/ethernet router hooked in another room. The wireless (in part) connects the two, so that the remote room computer can get out to the internet. Does that make sense so far? [17:02] colorlessblueide: so the 2nd wireless-router needs to be in WDS mode to act as a repeater [17:02] colorlessblueide: shouldn't you be using a repeater instead of another router? [17:03] or that [17:03] * Dr_willis was just thinking that. :) [17:03] colorlessblueide, wireless isn't my forte', so i'll hand you over to Captain_Haddock or some other heavy hitter in the wireless area [17:04] !wireless [17:04] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:04] Er, what is "WDS mode"? :-) It says "Wireless Mode: AP" , and "Wireless Network Mode: Mixed" on the remote. [17:05] colorlessblueide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System [17:05] routers are cheap , so why bother with repeaters :) [17:05] Less confguration hassles? [17:05] :) [17:05] BluesKaj: Thanks for the robohelp & wiki references. Let me read those before bothering anyone else. BTW, the local and remote wireless both seem to have more-or-less the same settings. [17:05] many linksys work fine with 3rd-party firmware, which do all these nice new things ;) [17:06] BluesKaj: Also, the remote is hooked via ethernet to a computer. I guess that seemed like a good idea at the time. [17:06] colorlessblueide: the pcs in room #2 are connected wireless to the 2nd router? [17:07] colorlessblueide: then your 2nd router should act as wireless-client [17:07] llutz: No, the PC in room #2 is connected via cable to second router. [17:07] colorlessblueide: ya, i just saw it too late ;) [17:08] colorlessblueide: what brand is the router? [17:08] llutz: Linksys WRT54G [17:09] colorlessblueide: consider dd-wrt or tomato as firmware on that, it should do what you need. i don't know if the original firmware will [17:09] never heard of tomato [17:09] colorlessblueide: www.dd-wrt.com, www.polarcloud.com/tomato [17:10] kalorin`: tomato ftw! :) [17:10] dd-wrt works very well for me on my linksys WRT-54G [17:10] kalorin`: tomato 1.13 on wrt54gl here, just... yessss [17:10] I went that route because the crappy default firmware woudln't allow static IP assignment [17:10] llutz: The current firmware (a friend hooked it up for my kids when I was out) works as far as that goes; it just looks as if, when a dhcprequest is made via ethernet to router#1, it is being supplied by router#2 (via wireless). Strange [17:11] kalorin`: that's why i did too [17:11] llutz: I suspect my friend did a firmware change, as he's wont to do such sort of things. [17:12] colorlessblueide: seems as there's kind of "network-seperation" active, which separates wlan from ethernet [17:12] colorlessblueide: maybe check router-settings [17:13] kalorin`: I agree about dd-wrt, I use it myself. [17:13] llutz: I have both router webadmin pages open in a browser right now, trying to figure out what settings should be. [17:17] blub [17:20] anyone know where i can check why kubuntu is suddenly jerking when i play video files? [17:21] ive had kubuntu on that laptop for a few months and only now it started playing up === epsis_poissa is now known as epssi [17:24] when i copy something from a usb stick or cd/dvd, the files have only read permissions on my computer by default. how can i change this? [17:25] epssi: don't copyas root [17:25] check dmesg output for a start. then its possible its a hdma issue.. or couldbe some other process going onin the background sigma_1234 check htop, or top to see if anythingis else is running [17:25] * ScorpKing loves dd-wrt.. [17:25] epssi, how are you copying these files? [17:26] right-click, copy, paste [17:27] You can always set themwriteable. I may be that the devices are getting mounted read only. so the copy is cloneing the permissions. [17:27] Ive never seen that happen however. I just recall seeing the execute bit always getting set some times when copying things from cd/vfat partitions [17:28] I tend to use a command like ---> find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664 [17:28] To set all files permissions properly when they get messed up. [17:29] and if its directories that are messed up --> find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755 [17:30] well the mounted devices/disks are read+write [17:30] it's not a big problem to change the permissions afterwards but i guess there's a solution for this [17:31] im not familiar with "find" yet [17:31] Check the mount/fstab entries I guess. unless of thource they are automounted [17:31] try find -type d -print0 [17:31] as a test. :) should print out all directories [17:32] the 'trick' to rember is that directories must be executable in order for you to access the dir. [17:32] so if i get a messed up bunch of files in a single dir. with lots of messed up dirs.. [17:32] anyone know a software that can quickly add text in the corner of multiple pictures? [17:32] im sorry but some of this is going over my head : ) [17:32] I normally fix the dirs first, then the files. with those commands. (i got them as an alias) [17:32] epssi, read up on how linux handles file permissions.. its rather straight forward. :) [17:33] then build from there. [17:33] parkin_, the Imagemagik tools might be able to do that. [17:33] k [17:33] parkin_, they are the jack-of-all-trades-tools for a lot of things. [17:33] parkin_: i dont think that has been invented yet [17:33] uhh yeah i should but using guis is the way for me :P [17:33] okok ill try thanks [17:34] Hii [17:34] I thought i saw an imagmagic tool that could overlay a image over another one.. but that would be good for a static/single/unchangeing text perhaps. [17:34] or logo. [17:35] epssi, I got one command that fixes all my files. :) as i want. [17:35] If you mixx/match different distros/machines/users - you can get the permissions really messed up [17:36] i'd rather fix this so they copy with read and write permissions in the beginning [17:38] how different is koffice to openoffice? [17:38] very [17:38] and yet, not really [17:38] sigma_1234: how about trying them? [17:38] sigma_1234: Just try it, unless you are all out of disk space :) [17:39] im not out of disk space. i dont have the bandwidth to download it! [17:40] sigma_1234: it doesn't do as good of a job on docs, thats for sure [17:40] sigma_1234: well, I don't use either of docs and spreadsheets I use KSpread [17:40] Any chance one could get a bit help with with a kubuntu installation? Disc checked out ok before I started installation, live cd part of disc wouldn't boot so I did a text installation without any errors. Upon rebooting and after some initial lines when starting up the screen is just blank. It is a laptop with an nvidia chipset so is there any way to get some barebone graphic interface until I've located better dri [17:40] s/of/for [17:41] i hear koffice2 will be impressive [17:41] Pinguliten: first of all, is it Gutsy? [17:41] 7.10 dvd [17:41] Pinguliten: can you boot failsafe mode? [17:42] pinguliten some nvidia cards dont work with the "nvidia" drivers installed by default. so you could change Xorg.conf to use vga driver and then download and install the right ones [17:42] There is a recovery mode which seems to freeze after a while [17:42] if this is the case [17:43] !vector [17:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about vector - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi === Emperor_of_Plane is now known as n8k99 [17:43] !inkscape [17:43] Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics drawing application - see http://www.inkscape.org/ for more [17:45] Recovery boot freezes at 5.236000 [17:46] Pinguliten: could you give me the exact model number for the laptop? [17:47] Hmmm, think it was a hp tx1270eo [17:47] should say somewhere on the case [17:47] yeah, tx1270eo [17:48] or hp pavillion tx1000 [17:48] think the tx1000 is more of a model family though [17:48] ok [17:48] yeah, thats good enough [17:50] Pinguliten: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457439 [17:52] Why thank you.

[18:31] X server [18:32] I don't know very much about ubuntu, I am newbie [18:32] stmartin: ok, then do this "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [18:32] none of it is activated, had to turn off gestures. Now it works, THANK YOU [18:32] ok [18:33] nosrednaekim: I did it. [18:33] stmartin: did it give you a text file?

[18:40] stmartin: Have you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [18:40] Hmm? had an ati card [18:40] ardchoille: yes. But my card is not on the list [18:40] Then a big update came and suddenly my network card wouldn't work anymore. [18:40] unfortenately [18:40] stmartin: 85** ?

[18:41] Pinguliten: ah ok [18:41] 8400GS [18:41] stmartin: Yeah [18:41] stmartin: envy is not a good thing to use, though you can probably tell that by now [18:42] !sudo | mhiku [18:42] mhiku: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[18:56] rothchild: I removed everything with the text "compiz" and "emerald" [18:57] stmartin: no, chose manual partitionsing and select your partition, it will format it and install anew [18:57] I removed them some days ago and kwin was working just fine, but I'm getting this error since the lastest upgrade (today) [18:57] ok, thanks [18:58] gustavonarea: what happens when you try kwin --replace in a konsole rather than using alt f2?

[21:05] no, don't try kdelibs5 [21:06] LjL, it's 3.94 too [21:06] LjL: looks like they are only in the PPA [21:06] still building in backports then [21:07] aleksanteri: i said nonsense... try « apt-cache policy kdebase-bin-kde4 » - for me, the package from backports are 4:3.96.0-1ubuntu1~gutsy1, while the ones from PPA are 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1 [21:07] jpatrick: perhaps one should rather wait for backports than install the ppa ones, uhm... given that they come with a ~gutsy1~ppa1 appendage, they would probably override the ones in backports :| [21:07] stdin? [21:07] Can anyone tell me how to disable compiz/beryl? [21:07] I just normally remove the compiz package :) [21:08] $ LANG=en_EN apt-cache policy kdebase-bin-kde4 [21:08] W: Unable to locate package kdebase-bin-kde4 [21:08] aleksanteri: then you have neither ppa nor backports enabled [21:08] compiz --replace is normally ran un the Autostart dir. with Kde. I guess it deopends on whats starting compiz. [21:08] !ppa [21:08] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [21:08] right-o [21:08] aleksanteri: i suggest waiting for the backports one though, at least until i'm more clear on this [21:08] !backports [21:09] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [21:09] Dr_willis: I'm trying to get a game under wine to run smoothly [21:09] And, someone told me to try disabling that [21:09] oki [21:10] Does anybody here has the Text from the Release Anouncement for KDE 4.0? [21:10] hey guys [21:10] kwin --replace [21:10] man oh man does kde4 look amazing, i want to start using it now [21:10] holycow: who stops you? [21:11] i think the only thing i need to actually setup my workflow is to be able to add panels and icons to them ... is that possible yet? i couldn't figure it out if yes [21:11] ObeyRoy, did you ENABLE compiz? You got the fancy wiggly windows? compiz is not enabled by default in kubuntu. [21:11] http://kde.org/kde-4.0-release-event/ [21:11] stdin: I noticed you have a credit on the kde4 rc2 d/l page :) [21:11] Dr_willis: No, i did not enable it [21:11] Tm_T: i have it installed, am going in and testing it here and there [21:12] was ir released? [21:12] it [21:12] Dr_willis: I am just trying to get this program to run smoothly, any suggestions? [21:12] when whould we have kde4 (finall version) on kubuntu repos? [21:13] mohi: pretty shortly, i think. the packages should be building. [21:13] LjL: you mean maybe tomorrow? or when? [21:14] LjL: packages will be done tomorrow [21:14] mohi, i'm not a prophet, but i mean a mean of 5 hours from now with a standard deviation of 4 hours [21:15] LjL: ooh! tanx! I just wanted to know if I can publish the news of this or not .? (ubuntu.ir) [21:15] mohi: not yet [21:16] jpatrick: ooh! ok! [21:16] how long do you think it will take before there is an official kubuntu kde4 package? [21:17] ObeyRoy, you enabled compiz? If not - then its not enabled.. and you are looking in the wrong place. :) You might want run your wine/game inside a lighter window manager. such as jwm, that way you dont have all the kde overhead on the system. (that will also totally disable compiz as well, if its enabled) [21:19] ello luv [21:21] soz I goez to kdelook and d/l some pretty cool stuff...but I'll be dam if I know how to make it install [21:22] depends on what exactly it is. In many cases kde theme 'parts' need to be compiled and installed. [21:23] ohhhhhh....I thought I could just browse to the tar and it would do that automagically [21:23] hmph [21:24] evesautomotive: At least it's easier to customize than Windows is [21:24] depends on what it is exactly. [21:24] aighty [21:24] icons you can just drag/drop to the icon settings tool normally [21:25] thers also a lot of kde themes and parts Not installed by default. Check your pakage manager search for 'themes' and 'kwin' [21:25] how bout splash screens? [21:25] !find kwin [21:25] Found: kwin, kwin-style-crystal, kwin4, kwin-baghira, kwin-style-alphacube (and 6 others) [21:25] I disable splash screens.. so i dont know. :) [21:25] yea got all those [21:25] I had to disable splash to get my 64 to even load [21:26] !anything` [21:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about anything` - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:26] !info fusesmb [21:26] fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol.

[21:29] What about lamps that take CF bulbs? [21:29] * AmyRose rimshots [21:29] genii: I should hope so too :p [21:30] hi [21:30] anyone know when is going to be released the kde 4.0.0 packages for kubuntu? [21:30] Edulix: in ppa [21:30] Edulix: when ready [21:32] Tm_T: I know that before asking ;) [21:32] jpatrick: uhm, what's is ppa? [21:33] !ppa > Edulix [21:34] jpatrick: I mean, for example normally when there's a new amarok release, someone in the dot links to the ubuntu packages, jriddell I belive [21:34] Edulix: they will hopefully be in gutsy-backports tomorrows [21:34] tomorrow* [21:34] ah ok =) [21:37] re@ll === brad__ is now known as some_dude === athena is now known as Athena18 [21:47] Has anyone been able to fix the problem with Kubuntu Gutsy not recieving obex pushes via bluetooth? [21:48] Hi [21:48] Does anybody know where I can get KDE 4.0 Live CD? [21:48] I installed kubuntu-desktop in my ubuntu, how do I get the KDE login manager? [21:48] A friend want's to try it out. [21:49] trixon: sudo aptitude install kdm? [21:49] x_link. I got /usr/bin/kdm already [21:49] trixon: Okey, then I don't know. [21:49] trixon: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [21:50] trixon: Choose kdm for login manager [21:51] geni, ty,, [21:51] $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [21:51] Please be sure to run "dpkg --configure kdm" [21:51] hi, i want to put my /home directory on a different partition, how would i do this? [21:51] did that too, off to log in now [21:53] makuseru: format the partition as ext3 or something, mount it as /tmphome or something, copy (sudo cp -a) the contents of /home to it, set it up in /etc/fstab to mount as /home, rename (sudo mv) /home, sudo mkdir /home, sudo mount /home [21:54] makuseru: forgot, sudo umount /tmphome before trying to mount it on /home [21:54] makuseru: you'll probably need to do this from a root console without kde running, so you'd sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop first. might work without doing that, not sure. [21:57] how do i install the uberscript for xchat ? [21:57] trappist: so if its set to mount as /home it will know to save everything there instead of the partition with the actuall OS? [22:02] Isn't there a tool that lets you mount a bootable ISO, make changes, then remaster it for burning? [22:02] bluetooth skills anyone? Seems impossible to get some help with it and i would really love to get it working ;) [22:02] makuseru: there can only be one /home, so if it's mounted as a partition, that's where it'll go [22:02] Hello world! :) [22:02] trappist: alright, thats pretty simple [22:03] I can't wait for KDE 4.0, what about you guys? [22:03] Newbi giving it 1 last chans.. [22:04] I come bearing glad tidings hehe [22:04] i cant get higer res than 640x480.. why ?? [22:04] chris062089: only 7 hours...

[22:04] finally* [22:05] boy, you guys are chomping t the bit hehe [22:05] at* [22:05] Is there anyway to get Konqueror automaticly redirect to google if the URL isn't found? (Like in firefox?) [22:06] is there anyway to get kubunto to run higer res then 640x480 ?? [22:06] System Settings > Monitor & Display? [22:06] I assume you already know about this though... :P === Deviance is now known as TimS [22:06] chris062689: : highest res there is 640x480 :( [22:06] odd [22:07] it workt fine after install.. [22:07] Ravestream: it could also be Settings>Periferals>Monitor & Display [22:07] hmmm [22:07] Can your monitor support higher than that? [22:07] chris062689: : oh ya [22:07] it workt fine after install.. but when i booted up today i only get 640x480 [22:08] Make sure your restricted drivers are enabled?

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:15] chris062689: i did.. a hole lot of errors [22:15] I know this is a really stupid question but... how do I play mp3 and ogm files?

[22:18] Yes [22:19] i got these kind of errors [22:19] kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.

[22:19] kded: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [22:19] I'd try launching gnome-system-monitor, ending kded and starting it again from bash, but don't blame me for any damages resulting from doing that. [22:20] ed__: I'll rip a .iso off it to save time. [22:21] I have this really annoying problem with my sound; it seems that when I crash my computer, it messes up. I tend to end esd, change my sound card back t the usual, relaunch esd and restart, bu I'm not sure how reliable this is. Doe sanyone know of a solution? [22:21] Okay.

I download 32bit MINI CD, but the image was: x86_64 :( But it installs 64bit on my PC Can I use this mini CD to install 32bit version? [22:31] Yes. [22:31] how? [22:31] I think so. [22:31] yes [22:31] Wait. [22:31] just go along as normal [22:32] I think you can install 32 bit ubuntu on 64 bit hardware, but maybe not from a 64 bit CD. [22:32] no not from an x64 cd but installing x86 on x64 processor should work ok [22:32] yeah, just boot from the 32 bit one and launch the installer as usual :-) [22:32] ditto [22:32] Ok now I hear stuff.. [22:32] adz21c: somthing is fucked upp with my grafik i can only get 640x480 [22:32] It's just.. I can't get mp3 or ogms to play. [22:33] erm [22:33] Ravestream_: what graphics card you got?

[22:35] Even though I uninstalled it.. [22:35] It still allows me to play the things [22:35] and audio channel still isn't there.

Welcome to #kubuntu! [23:14] where is the file kwin.rc ? [23:14] !apt [23:14] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [23:14] Doesn't KDE 4 come out today? [23:15] Schuenemann: ~/.kde/share/config [23:17] adz21c, thanks [23:18] hody all [23:21] hi [23:21] happy new year all [23:22] where can I edit the list of website for which konqueror store / don't store password ? [23:23] sMonk: it sure does! [23:24] sMonk: I'm pretty stoked about it... can't wait for ubuntu packages! :) [23:24] final release? :| [23:24] yodaz: ~/.kde/share/apps/khtml/formcompletions [23:24] Same here [23:25] Hello. When i installed Kubuntu the step that i set a password for ROOT was skipped (i don't know why) but i could use kubuntu with SUDO. But yesterday i had to became ROOT, but i don't have the password. I've tried to use a Live CD, because in this way i'd have the root password, and then edit the /etc/shadow and in the line of root deleting what is between the 1st and 2nd ':' and make it become like this root::13849:0:99999:7::: The [23:25] problem was that when i went back to kubuntu a problem happened and i had to execute FSCK. After this, the result wasn't what was desired. Detail in the /etc/shadow: root:!:13849:0:99999:7::: In this this '!' is because no password was set. [23:25] artur_: there is no root password [23:25] sudo su [23:26] artur_: use $sudo su [23:26] no, sudo -i [23:26] then put in your pass [23:26] sudo su worked! [23:26] :) [23:26] . [23:26] anyone what the plan is with kd4? how long after its release will packages be avail? [23:26] and now, passwd ?? [23:26] YOUR password [23:27] flithm: as soon as humanly possible [23:27] stdin: :> [23:27] artur_: the one you usually use for your regular user [23:27] yah kde4 is why I am here [23:27] is it in any reps? [23:27] besides RC2 [23:27] legs1x1: it's not release just yet... another hour or something :) [23:27] flithm: I wonder how easy the upgrade from 3.5.8 to 4 will be.. if there will be any issues [23:27] Damn the suspense... [23:27] it should hopefully be in -backports by tomorrow, but it'll be in the PPA too [23:27] SSJ_GZ: thx :) [23:27] Thanks folks!! ;) [23:27] yodaz: np :) [23:28] np artur_ [23:28] sMonk: from what I've been told, it's not an "upgrade" you install them side by side, so you can always go back to using kde3 apps and uninstall kde4 [23:28] I know this isn't Winblows, but no one is perfect lol (Kubuntu is darn close tho) [23:28] sMonk: for now they will exist separately, so you'll have kde3 and kde4 [23:28] artur_: good luck [23:28] Oh yea? [23:28] stdin: nice! good job to all involved for getting it out so quickly... awesome! [23:29] I guess that's a good thing.. lol, until all the "bugs" ok.. realisitic, the BAD bugs are worked out [23:29] will the panel for KDE4 in Kubuntu different? [23:30] some kde4 apps weren't ready for kde4 release (like amarok) so they'll need some kde3 bits anyway [23:31] So I take it one day (probably a year or more from now, it will be "safe" enough to rid of 3.5.8 [23:32] my fonts in non-KDE applications (firefox and thunderbird) are too big, what can I do? [23:32] It would be nice if they waited until software was decently ready for use before they put it out... seems to be a trend lately. [23:32] TheWhiteRook: That's probably why they are making it side by side [23:32] ravestream: getting anywhere? :p [23:33] sMonk: we think my KDE 4.1, which will hopefully be out in time for hardy [23:33] Is there a good IRC client for GNOME? [23:33] chris062689: irssi or konversation? :) [23:33] well, I'd like to stay GNOME-only [23:33] even though I love KDE, I don't like to mix and match. [23:33] chris062689: strangely enough I prefer pidgin :) [23:33] konversation [23:33] pidgin.. [23:33] Does IRC? [23:33] Yeah? Good to know. LoL Probably the same time, 2 big upgrades [23:33] I never knew that :P [23:33] I love pidgin. [23:33] chris062689: yeah it actually does a decent job of it too [23:34] NexaMac: no going to reinstall .. it was installed yesterday so i don lose anythin.. and i going to try ubunto 7.10 [23:34] chris062689: tab complete, dcc, auto msg nickserv, hide join / parts in a smart way, etc [23:34] konversation for k/ubuntu, jsircci or whatever for mac, and mirc for winlol :< [23:34] sMonk: hopefully it'll be before hardy, we want 8.04 to be KDE4 by default so it'd be nice to have 4.1 [23:35] ravestream: gl [23:35] Very true. I don't care, my wife don't either as long as I don't play around again and loose everything. lol [23:35] again [23:36] hey kde 4.0 its in ppa, but i cant get it to work, when i choose kde4 from kdm it restart x server (btw, sorry my english) [23:37] segfault2k: 4.0 final is in PPA?!? [23:37] yeah [23:37] look [23:37] Configurando kdenetwork-kde4 (4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1) ... [23:37] sweet! [23:38] yeah, but i have the same problem that i had with rc2, it just restart x server :( [23:38] segfault2k: where on ppa are you looking? [23:39] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main [23:39] Anybody having problems using openoffice and creating forms? Every time I try to create a form, it crashes. [23:39] segfault2k: I still see it hasn't been updated since dec 10? [23:39] xD [23:40] apt-get update d00d [23:40] segfault2k: I'm just looking with the web browser... they haven't changed any packages in there since last month [23:41] JuJuBee: What ver? === nexamac is now known as NexaMac [23:41] 2.2.0 [23:41] flithm: u want screenshot ? [23:42] segfault2k: no it's okay :) [23:42] :P [23:42] sorry, cant help you, I was going to check but I have 2.3 [23:42] is anyone using kde 4 rc2? [23:43] Just the livecd the odd time [23:44] someone knows where is the configuration file that start compiz at startup? [23:44] I tried KDE 4 rc2, but it was buggy enough that I went back to 3.5 [23:44] kde4 is released in ppa [23:44] :B [23:45] segfault2k: what ppa means [23:45] public mirror === georgi is now known as georgi__ [23:45] judging by the state of rc2, though, KDE4 won't be ready unless they did some MAJOR work on it. [23:46] ah, so it's isn't just me [23:46] lol [23:46] personally, I think they should delay it and work out all the kinks [23:46] *nod* [23:46] i thought maybe it was because I'm running it through vmware [23:46] TheWhiteRook: I know when I used the livecd it was shakey on my Kubuntu box, but the guys in #kde are talking about KDE4 on other builds and they are all saying that Kubuntu is having problems with KDE4 (in a nutshell) [23:47] is it just kubuntu? [23:47] mmm. sure, blame it on the distro :P [23:47] No no, I love Kubuntu. It's all I use [23:47] But a few of them with Suse boxes say it works good [23:47] sMonk: I'm talking about the #kde people [23:48] is it available with *choke gasp* open suse? [23:49] AHH.. lol sorry [23:49] segfault2k: sorry I take it back you were right, kde4 is in ppa [23:49] :P [23:49] np man [23:49] rtm :) [23:49] damn i cant run kde4 :@ [23:49] it just restart X sessionm [23:50] hmmm. sounds like it runs worse for you than it did for me :P [23:50] yeah [23:50] :( [23:50] that's crappy [23:50] i think its my fault but whatever XD [23:50] hey guys I have a laptop with several buttons on the top [23:50] I was irritated particularly by the lack of working right click stuff on the panel [23:50] and my display got messed up so I reconfigured the Xserver [23:50] and most of the top buttons that I use [23:51] work [23:51] exept for the volume ones [23:51] hold up [23:51] how do I restore to the old xserver [23:51] because I know you can go back and look [23:52] segfault2k: Do what I do.. when Linux messes up on me.. just blame Microsoft, even though I don't run Windows, it helps me to believe that it's not my fault [23:52] sMonk: good plan [23:52] is there a kde4 meta package that installs all of kde4? [23:52] Wish there was. [23:52] oh hahah kde4 [23:52] there is [23:52] flithm: not yet, there well be by tomorrow [23:52] Really? [23:52] I don't think all of kde4 is there to install :P [23:53] stdin: oh no... I see kde4 in there [23:53] Is it RC2? or... [23:53] it is and it aint [23:53] flithm: on gutsy or hardy? [23:53] stdin: gutsy [23:53] what package name? [23:53] sMonk jajajaja lol! XD [23:53] Zombocom: Do you mean that your volume buttons don't work at ALL? or just the little green (colour?) dashes don't show? [23:53] I'm on gutasy through vmware and kde4 is very crashy [23:53] they don't work [23:53] stdin: ahh n/m it's rc2 I think [23:53] sMonk: lollll xD [23:53] gutsy& [23:53] whats an easy way to see which groups a user belongs to thru bash? [23:54] flithm: what package name is it, I know I haven't put it on gutsy yet [23:54] sMonk the play/pause, stop, next track, and last track buttons all still work [23:54] how do I restore to an old xorg.conf file? [23:54] just rename the one xorg.conf.1? [23:54] systemsettings-kde4_4%3a4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1_i386.deb [23:54] konqueror-kde4_4%3a4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1_i386.deb [23:54] etc.. :B [23:54] stdin: it's kde4 version 2~gutsy1~ppa1 [23:54] none of my media buttons work [23:54] Zombocom, if that's a backup, yes [23:54] Zombocom: usually that is the case... depends on how many times you changed it tho. [23:55] if it's just once, then yeah, that should be your backup [23:55] segfault2k: thought you'd like that suggestion [23:55] yeah! xD [23:55] I've only changed it once, I ran locate: xorg.conf and only 1 file came up as xorg.conf.# [23:55] i'm feeling better XD [23:56] and it was xorg.conf.1 [23:56] so I just rename it to xorg.conf [23:56] ok [23:56] BUT!! 1st take the one you have and name it to xorg.conf.2 JUST incase you loose more than just your volume [23:57] (I speak from exp) [23:57] lol [23:57] lol [23:57] I'll make sure to do that [23:57] flithm: ahh it was just uploaded [23:57] stdin: so it's okay to use that kde4 meta package? [23:57] :) np [23:58] flithm: it may or may not work just yet, if you can try it and post the result to pasteben that'd be a great help :) [23:58] ive installed ppa's kde4 [23:58] stdin: also, when I add the ppa repo to my sources file, it wants to update a bunch of kde3 apps, is that right? [23:58] and i can't run it, it just restart x server :( [23:59] flithm: yes it is, it's so kde3/4 can integrate properly [23:59] ok [23:59] stdin: should I just wait till tommorrow or is this safe? :)
