[00:00] k4ever: excellent [00:00] :) [00:00] or will the repository I used to grab kde4 for kubuntu work? [00:00] Thanks [00:00] compiz works great with kde 4... [00:00] k4ever: :-) [00:00] no kpager integration though [00:00] i've lost my "task manager" (window list)... please, help me get it back [00:01] k4ever: to be expected though to be fair [00:01] alex__: kde4? [00:01] yes [00:01] yes, i know [00:01] alex__: entire panel or just the window list? [00:01] alex_:its in the add wiget list, just drag it to the task bar [00:01] just the window list [00:01] How to set smaller size of icon of running applications on my panel?, I wont 2 lines of this icons on my panel... :( [00:01] then what g2g591 said :-) [00:02] alex_ : ^^ [00:02] yea, my bad, missed his name :-P [00:03] i like kde 4.0. its very fast and looks pretty good. plasma takes some getting used to, but i'm starting to like it [00:03] thanks adz21c and g2g591. I was dragging it once added as a widget to desktop [00:03] alex__: yea that doesnt work yet :( [00:04] alex_:ah, hopefully that is fixed in the current trunk [00:04] im currently building from trunk, ill know all about the exact current state of what will be 4.1 in a few hours === modie101 is now known as Im_Rick_James_Bi [00:05] g2g591: cool :-) === Im_Rick_James_Bi is now known as ImRickJamesBiatc [00:05] darn [00:05] one more letter [00:05] mount-iso-0.9.5 does not mount the CD-Images, any solution? [00:07] MGalaxy: mount /path/to/file /path/to/mount/point -t iso9660 -o loop [00:09] Hi has anyone had any success in making a multimedia kb work under kde4? [00:09] adz21c: i want to solve the problem, not to mount a cd with mount -t [00:10] Where is my Kubuntu Menu located? I wish to make a backup. [00:10] MGalaxy: well that works for me to mount cd images [00:10] nick modie101 === ImRickJamesBiatc is now known as modie101 [00:10] hey question aqbout mounting an ISO image ... [00:11] do youhave to mount as a file or a directory? [00:12] modie101: what ya mean? the mount point? [00:12] Can anyone guess about how long it will be until 4.1 is released? I'm not looking for a date, just an estimation. Two, three months, six months? [00:12] 6 to 9 months [00:12] Thanks. [00:12] yes the mount point [00:12] should be a directory [00:13] modie: the mount point must be an empty directory [00:13] corinth: about 6 months [00:13] ok so I'll mkdir [00:13] then mount [00:13] cool [00:13] corinth: With about 5 bug fix releases tween now and then [00:15] Freakin Sweet!!! [00:15] works like a charm [00:15] now I don't have to keep popping in the Kubuntu DVD to apt-get [00:15] ... [00:15] DaSkreech: Will the bug fixes be released through the normal kubuntu repositories? [00:16] modie101: Ah You had apt-cdrom in your sources ? [00:16] corinth: They have been so far :-) [00:16] Thanks :-P [00:16] corinth: You know the KDE 3.5.5 3.5.6 3.5.7 releases? [00:16] etc etc [00:17] DaSkreech: I got it, thanks ;-) [00:17] corinth: how long have you been using KDE? [00:17] DaSkreech: Not too long. I grew up as a gnome user :-P [00:18] corinth: haha I should really make a short joke and punch in somethign about vision but ok [00:18] Lol. [00:18] corinth: So you started using it during the 3.5 series ? [00:18] KDE is nice, but so is Gnome. Both have their strong points. And yes. [00:18] corinth: the jumps between 4.0 and 4.1 might surprise you [00:19] I find that things work muc hbetter out of the box with Gnome, but KDE is much more customizable. [00:19] DaSkreech: Yep, looking forward to them ^_^ [00:19] srry if this is a bit off-topic but what happens after 30 days using crossoffice? does everything stop working or you just cant install new stuff anymore? [00:19] corinth: We are trying to get to the point where most things work out of the box with KDE as well [00:20] Not sure how Gnome is going towards customization outside of choosing a new app [00:20] If I'm mistaken please let me know [00:20] omg I LOVED the new KDE 4 [00:20] ProblematiKo: Uh oh [00:20] xD [00:21] DaSkreech: I don't think they are. The point of Gnome seems to be simplicity. In my experience, it's much easier for a friend of mine to switch from Winodws to Gnome instead of KDE. [00:21] well being a windows user a month ago (never used linux before) I felt much more confortable with KDE :T [00:21] At this point, things just seem to work better right away. [00:21] altough I feel it works better with slackware then kubuntu, maybe its just me x) [00:21] about mounting the ISO .... [00:22] once I mount the ISO is there a way I can get aptitude to always look at the mounted ISO automatical? [00:23] What happens usually is that it asks me for the CD then I pop it in and then press ok [00:23] modie101: If you have it in your Fstab it will probably be there on startup all the time and aptitude could just drop it in the sources.list [00:23] I did a real long roundabout way of doing that once :) [00:23] I should have written it down [00:23] oh ok so how do I drop an mount point in my sourceslist [00:24] is there a command? [00:24] modie101: What do you want to do? [00:24] Make it stop doing that? [00:24] i have mounted the ISO already [00:24] I can put it in my fstab to make it an auto mount .. [00:25] but What do I do to aptitude to get it into my sources list? [00:26] modie101: what are you trying to do? [00:26] is there a command that can add a mounted FS to Aptitude Sources lIst? [00:27] corinth: I gues it depends on the windows user [00:27] I guess it would be something like apt-get update [00:27] When I try to mount the ntfs disk. and at the ntfs-3g page thay says that It's shoud be mounted into /mnt/windows but what is that I have no folder in mnt? help me out?:S [00:27] if they were a power user I think they trend towards KDE [00:29] can anybody play with amarok these url ? http://blue.jamendo.com/get/track/id/album/audio/play/2609 [00:29] kde's "digital-type clock" is so handsome! [00:30] is that rectangular numeral rendered by a font? [00:33] Hey DaSkreech [00:33] modie101: Yes? [00:33] I want to mount a DVD ISO as a DVD [00:33] NEver tired that :) [00:33] and I want APtitude to include it in the souces list [00:33] but if it's a DVD then just mount it as one [00:33] If it's a DVD then use -t and mount it as UDF [00:34] well what it is is the Kubuntu 7.10 DVD ISO [00:34] modie101: You know it will pull from the DVD before it pulls from online right? [00:34] modie101: ISO I think [00:34] kde 4.3.... I dont see the 4.3... in help/about window [00:35] I load the new one in update [00:36] n6vkz4jesus: I guess you can expect KDE 4.3 in 2 years' time or so.. *gg* [00:36] I did the following: [00:36] sudo mount /stuff/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso /Kubuntu_DVD -t iso9660 -o loop [00:36] n6vkz4jesus: Sory? [00:36] any one know but show it loaded ? [00:36] modie101: And it's not in stuff? [00:37] so now the ISO is mounted as a file system [00:37] but is there a way I can get Adept manager to recognize that Filesysem rather then Ask me for theDVD all the time? [00:38] DaSkreech it show 3.5..... [00:38] n6vkz4jesus: Right 3.5 is the latest [00:38] Yes the ISO isin stuff and I verified the mount works [00:38] now what do i tell adept? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [00:38] do I edit the sources list manually? [00:38] why the update load show the other ? [00:38] modie101: Yes but you have to add in a few other thigns as wel [00:39] does it even accept filesystems as a repository? [00:39] hmm [00:39] ok [00:39] modie101: There was a page that showed you hold on let me see if I can find it [00:39] hello im new here :) [00:39] one more question ... [00:39] neonwind: welcome [00:39] n6vkz4jesus: The other? [00:39] thank you [00:39] would it be easier to mount a DVD ISO as a DVD rather then a regular FS? === flameasge is now known as flamesage [00:40] Do you guys know where I can find KDE 4 widgets? [00:40] modie101: To linux it's all the same thing [00:40] try google it [00:40] would that trick the Adept manager into just thinking its the Kubuntu DVD? [00:40] if you put in a normal DVD it becomes a filesystem [00:40] flamesage: KDE SVN [00:40] modie101: Not by itself [00:40] anyone from ireland???? [00:40] <---- NYC [00:41] !ot | neonwind [00:41] neonwind: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

This is a support channel :) [00:41] ok [00:42] so now what do we have to do? [00:42] is there a command line such as apt-get recognizeFS_as_repository /path/to/FS [00:43] modie101: apt-cdrom [00:45] ok I see I have to go through the proceess of scanning the cd/dvd into a fulesysem oaccording to "man apt-cdrom: [00:47] How do I reduce the font size of the clock in KDE 4? that HUGE clock =_= [00:47] Hmm, can anyone tell me how Parralel Graph Colouring can be accomplished? Do I need multithread or something? [00:49] How is the eyecandy in KDE 4? I was looking at the screen shots of the RC 2..and the kicker looks sooo good with that border around it...but in the final release I noticed it was replaced with a solid one with a fading trim on the top...what happened? Are you still able to choose the other kicker style? [00:49] kicker isnt in kde4 [00:49] its plasma [00:50] haha can you tell I still have dapper drake [00:50] otaku-san: "_ [00:50] otaku-san: i don't think you can choose [00:51] mmm...now that sucks [00:51] yet [00:51] modie101: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=1344&view=next&sid=4664f94f839a357c4e3807b8622372f9 [00:51] ah..true stdin [00:51] * DaSkreech waves at PriceChild [00:52] 4 is still new [00:52] It's about a day old :) [00:52] That's ooooooolllldddd in Open source terms [00:52] haha [00:52] there hae been like 2000 commits since then [00:53] maybe 3000 [00:53] time to watch patriots =) [00:53] Hi DaSkreech. [00:53] * DaSkreech bows [00:55] oO [00:56] can I make a slideshow as wallpaper in KDE with less then 1min between each slide? [00:56] Yes [00:56] Or rather [00:56] DaSkreech, cool, how? cause I was going for 30 fps xD [00:56] you can make a slideshow wallpaper [00:56] ProblematiKo: Ha ha Joker :) [00:57] DaSkreech, I want a dreamscene equivalent =~ [00:57] can someone recommend a multamedia converter? [01:00] l [01:01] hi [01:01] * DaSkreech waves [01:02] Makuseru: I have only converted one thing with Konsole...and can't remember where I found that guide. I did find this though: [01:02] http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Multimedia+Converter?content=61463 [01:02] don't know if it converts well [01:02] or if you've tried it [01:03] search some audiophile forums [01:03] there are plenty Linux audio and video lovers..who would know the best way to convert [01:03] and the easiest [01:06] DaSkreech yeh ubuntu 4.3... ahhhh not kde [01:06] n6vkz4jesus: Aah there we go [01:06] There is no Ubuntu 4.3 either :) [01:06] but that's cool [01:07] I think the first Ubuntu was 4.10 [01:09] DaSkreech: right [01:10] Makuseru: to convert what to what? [01:10] hi there [01:11] vzduch: Ubuntu is getting old :( [01:11] why do I need to reboot my notebook computer to plug a external monitor on the VGA output thingy? [01:11] DaSkreech: there's even older distros out there [01:11] I wondering, QT4 will coming for KDE4.1 right? [01:11] what does it do on boot that it detects it .... [01:12] spiroo: huh? qt4 is out [01:12] vzduch: the problem is soon there will be younger ones :) [01:12] * DaSkreech blinks [01:12] spiroo: wrong way around [01:12] g2g591: Sorry I mean version 4.4 [01:12] KDE4 comes for QT4 [01:12] QT4.3 is current QT version [01:12] spiroo: perhaps... [01:12] spiroo: dude.... we spell it Qt not QT and Qt4 has been out way before KDE4. as a matter a fact, KDE4 was only ideas and could not be programmed until Qt4 was reallity. KDE4 now requires Qt4.3 [01:12] spiroo: You can get QT 4.4 now [01:13] somekool: he corrected himself [01:13] Just wondering, Adobe is up for QT. Wonder if we are going to see Photoshop inside for Linux in the future. [01:13] assuming that spiroo is a he [01:13] yes I am a he [01:13] * DaSkreech nods [01:13] spiroo: the trunk (in kde svn) which will become 4.1 only requires 4.3 at this time [01:13] anyway you can grab a preview of Qt 4.4 now if you like [01:14] haha that would be nice..not having to force Photoshop to work on Linux [01:14] there are linux chicks, but even less on IRC ;) [01:14] Nah, just wondering. [01:14] somekool: Same for guys :-) [01:14] Daskreech: how do you do "actions" in irc [01:14] But I wonder mostly if Photoshop if going to be released in QT-version. [01:14] * DaSkreech shrugs [01:14] No idea what you are talking about :) [01:15] well, DaSkreech: you mean there is more linux users than linux users on IRC? I've got to call that one an obvious [01:15] this is what I am talking about: http://trolltech.com/customers/allcustomers/adobe/ [01:15] somekool: Well you started :-P [01:15] DaSkreech: sigh [01:15] nod [01:15] vzduch: to convert video, liike avi to mpg [01:15] +s [01:16] summary [01:16] control center for KDE [01:16] version [01:16] 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.8 [01:16] status [01:16] install ok installed [01:16] from kpackage [01:16] Any response for Photoshop here? [01:17] what is this mean sorry for not being smart enough to know [01:17] kde 3.5.6 control center [01:17] n6vkz4jesus: that's version 3.5.6 [01:18] n6vkz4jesus: with a patch from ubuntu patch version 20 it looks like [01:19] spiroo: well if Adobe uses it..who knows. Linux is still stepping up and up [01:19] so that is ubuntu version number 4...... that confuse me? [01:20] biovore: What's the first 4 for ? [01:20] spiroo: we may have a linux version of PS. Or just a KDE version of PS..haha === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno [01:20] DaSkreech: that's the epoch [01:22] stdin: I don't get it [01:22] stdin: the 4th release of Ubuntu ? [01:22] no, means someone messed up :p [01:23] * DaSkreech laughs [01:23] ok what's it supposed to be? [01:23] Is the epoch 0 indexed? [01:23] plasma does not want to seem to startup for me [01:23] no, the epoch can be any number [01:23] I tried running it from the cli, but it seems to fail. Kicker still works with kde4 though [01:23] just not that well : [01:23] :p [01:24] stdin: Is it meaningful ? [01:25] DaSkreech: it's added when someone uploads one version, then at release realises that it's not stable enough (or for some other reason) so needs to be reverted to a lower version. now dpkg/apt won't install a lower version by default so you need an epoch [01:25] Which release? [01:25] Ubuntu relelase or the package? [01:26] a distro release [01:26] stdin: Want to take this to motu ? [01:26] it was probably added in debian so we have to have it too [01:26] I'm guessing :) [01:27] but that's the reason you see packages with version numbers like that, lesson over. go play :) [01:31] Is there going to be a global package manager in the future. I mean Gnome uses Synaptic and KDE Adapt [01:31] anyone tried the kde4.0 yet? [01:32] heatmzzr: Yes me [01:32] spiroo: the reason is that gnome uses GTK+ and KDE uses Qt [01:32] what do you think, i use ubuntu right now.. [01:33] kde4 isn't ready for prime yet [01:33] stdin: okay, but why is that so? I mean they are both a part of the ubuntu-project. [01:33] spiroo: no [01:33] heatmzzr: I do not recommend to use KDE 4.0 at the moment. [01:33] stdin: no? [01:33] spiro, buggy? [01:33] spiroo: both were around long before ubuntu [01:33] gtk gui -> synaptic, qt gui -> adept [01:34] This KDE4 is really only useful to devs to get their Qt apps looking and running good in it... As it stants now, there are next to no Qt4-native apps [01:34] does anyone know of a good repository to get kde4 installed [01:34] Skyblast: see topic [01:34] does the current kubuntu disc have kde4 on it?? [01:34] B2ASpirit: you should learn to read channel topics to stop looking foolish [01:34] What about it [01:35] heatmzzr: No, because there is no application coded for KDE4.0 yet. Wait for 4.1. [01:35] B2ASpirit: there is alive cd with kde4 on if you to see it. [01:35] Skyblast: the big link with "KDE 4.0" by it should give you a hint [01:35] does anyone know my plasma refuses to run? I get [01:35] (17372)/ checkComposite: Plasma has an argb visual 0x8060e20 69206017 [01:35] (17372)/ checkComposite: Plasma is COMPOSITE-less on 0x805b040 [01:35] stdin: Hehe yes, but I mean Ubuntu and Kubuntu is working "together". [01:35] erm B2ASpirit ^ [01:35] hehe the irony is that is the same site repository i found [01:35] thanks for the pointing it out [01:35] Don't understand what a link has to do with my opinion [01:36] * B2ASpirit smacks self [01:36] i didn't even need to come in here at all [01:36] now i really look stupid :P [01:36] thanks [01:36] peace out [01:36] Skyblast: wan't meant for you actually [01:37] spiroo: so what do you want to happen? gnome to use Qt or KDE to use GTK? [01:37] neither will happen btw :p [01:37] spiroo: There are many apps for kde 4.0 [01:38] and you can still run GTK apps in Kubuntu [01:38] * stdin wonders how many 3rd-party apps there were for kde 1.0 when it came out... [01:38] * DaSkreech raises his hand [01:38] Can I vote stdin :) [01:38] stdin: I am not sure, I just think Ubuntu could agree with one standard, would pleasure most of the users. [01:39] spiroo: ubuntu don't get a choice in the matter, it's up to gnome/kde [01:39] DaSkreech: Nothing to have though. For instance you do not have Amarok. [01:39] spiroo: shut down the Kubuntu Edubuntu and edubuntu projects then ? [01:39] Argh [01:39] Xubuntu [01:39] there's a Edubuntu-KDE too :) [01:40] spiroo: I do :) [01:40] DaSkreech [01:40] stdin: sub project I doubt it would live through the death of either Kubuntu or edubuntu ;-) [01:40] what would be the entry to auto mount the following: [01:40] To many different desktops I think, woulde be better with some kind of framework all of the could use. And then the desktop in itself could be different. [01:40] mount /stuff/ISOs/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso /Kubuntu_DVD -t iso9660 -o loop [01:41] any virtualisation that do not require vmx flag and can run linux windows bsd and osx at the same time ? (giving each os a seperate independant hardware control ) like xen does. [01:41] spiroo: "choice" it's both a gift and a burden :) [01:41] !fstab | modie101 [01:41] modie101: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:41] well you guys have made me miss my linux enough. I'm going to reboot into kubuntu [01:41] spiroo: They could just brand apple stuff :) [01:42] abrakadabra: you can't run osx on a VM, it's against their EULA [01:42] stdin: Yes I guess so. I just do not want different standards and formats thats all. [01:42] Hi === x_ is now known as DrVince [01:42] DaSkreech: Yes would be nice xD *not* [01:42] spiroo: that's what the freedesktop.org people do, make standards [01:42] spiroo: there is a standard [01:43] Yes one thing is, Linux core :) [01:43] kde switched to dbus, what more do you want? :P [01:43] spiroo: hardly [01:44] spiroo: no, there are many different variations and configs [01:44] How do I handle .cpk files? [01:44] stdin: I am not well informed in every single program and word. Sorry :P Wish I had time for that. I just want people to reunite and not createa another project. [01:44] generally, no two distributions kernels are the same [01:45] stdin: okay, yes they are not completely the same of course. [01:45] spiroo: the free software world is about choice, and like I said. it's both a gift and a burden [01:45] spiroo: sorry.. what new project? [01:45] someone will always have a "better" way of doing exactly the same thing :) [01:45] stdin: Yea I guess so ;) Wish more people were using KDE :) [01:46] stdin: Of course [01:46] stdin: but it would not hurt if some of them cooperated with each other. [01:47] are there any how-to's on how to make splash screens (start up screens) and login screens?

[01:56] another challenge: I have a RAID 5 config (software through BIOS) and working on my kubuntu [01:56] phoul: its removed [01:56] however I need grub to regognize it too, how can i do that? [01:57] selckin, theres still gotta be a way to get it... its such an important tool.. [01:57] thatnks daskreech [01:57] martin_: check out the boot.lst [01:57] i googled around but didnt find much [01:57] just scanned it [01:57] are there any how-to's on how to make splash screens (start up screens) and login screens? [01:57] martin_: you probably cant.. (bios software raid users propriatary software that we arn't allowed to have) [01:58] nexa: and look for? [01:58] i joined mid-conversation.. what are you trying to make grub find? [01:58] !raid [01:58] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:58] my RAID 5 nvidia [01:58] ah [01:58] no idea then :p [01:59] I used the fakeraidhowto [01:59] that's the way i can reach my win disks [01:59] but now i want grub to boot that disk [01:59] martin_: http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html [02:00] thx [02:00] gonna read that one [02:00] maybe it has some good suggestions [02:00] now let's see whether I can get synaptics to work [02:00] struggeling for hours and hours now [02:01] well basicly it says your probably screwed.. the nvidia raid controll is simular to the intell ICH stuff.. it bios raid.. not real raid.. [02:01] although i saw some reports on a bug in gutsy and predeccors on that [02:01] you can do raid using the linux MD raid stuff though.. [02:01] biovore: ok, so that means it's not possible at all [02:02] no need to look further for grub and nvidia raid then [02:02] not using the nvidia raid stuff.. probably not possible.. check nvidia's site for propriotary drivers.. but probably not going to work.. [02:03] well, although I am still struggling with some hardware I must say linux has made big steps (last time I installd Suse was 4 years go) [02:04] If this progress on automatic hardware support goes on linux will get a big user base [02:04] thx guys for helping me [02:06] Am I the only person on the planet where Amarok wont work in KDE4? [02:08] hmm I would think it should.. But I havn't tried.. [02:10] so, is kde4 stable now? [02:10] as in, actually stable, not just officially stable [02:10] not really.. [02:10] not ready for prime time / daily use.. [02:11] any reason not to get KDE4 on gutsy? [02:11] looks and sounds great so far [02:12] biovore: so in other words, wait a bit [02:12] coreymon77: yes [02:12] wait [02:12] what? [02:12] a whole bunch of people are using it now [02:12] granted * can't use it [02:13] but still for quite a number of people it's quite stable and good [02:13] as long as you don't use Wifi or PIM :) [02:13] DaSkreech: so in other words, dont bother yet [02:13] coreymon77: If you need those two and don't want to run KDE3 and KDE4 libs then yeah [02:14] DaSkreech: no wifi is quite the big issue i would think [02:14] I don't use wifi on the desktop, neither do I use a PIM. Personal Information Manager? [02:14] smick: Me either [02:15] coreymon77: It's still there obviously just no GUI for it [02:15] You can command line it (scripts ftw!) or use KDE3 knetworkmanager [02:15] DaSkreech: so you run it? [02:15] smick: I will when I get back [02:17] DaSkreech: oh, i never use knetworkmanager, i just cmdline iwconfig [02:18] coreymon77: Oh Pfft so why do you care then? [02:18] coreymon77: it's harder when you have wifi [02:19] after I add a server to my sources.list, do I need to restart x? [02:19] stdin: youre telling me? the person who used to have to spend entire days getting wifi to work before i smartened up and got an atheros card? [02:20] smick: not related at all [02:20] so if it's telling me it can't install kde4-core, then it's not becasue I havent' refreshed the sources list [02:21] it says couldn't find package. [02:21] smick: what error do you get? [02:21] then you do need to reload the package list. [02:21] Couldn't find package kde4-core [02:21] how do I do that? [02:21] smick: No [02:21] it's there, I know it's there, I put it there ;) [02:21] smick: sudo apt-get update [02:22] smick: sudo apt-get update [02:22] or press F5 in adept [02:22] ok, just did that, I'll try intall again [02:22] * DaSkreech laughs at stdin [02:23] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [02:23] sudo [02:23] coreymon77: So you basically have no real adverse stuff for KDE4 ( I can see) [02:23] sl=et [02:23] and close adept [02:23] something tells me you shouldn't be using kde4 [02:24] selckin: Not as bad as using hardy :) [02:24] well [02:24] kde4 is out right? [02:24] you guys are good. [02:24] Hi, anyone able to help updating to kde4? [02:24] I did have adept open after updating some stuff and forgot. [02:24] I need help [02:25] I broke my apt-get stuff [02:25] DaSkreech: is there a point in running it side by side with kde3 [02:25] while trying to update to kde4 [02:25] tried to follow http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php but stll wouldn't find a package kde4-core [02:25] coreymon77: Yes [02:25] DaSkreech: because some programs dont exist yet [02:25] DaSkreech: for kde4 [02:25] Right [02:25] getting kde4 now. there goes the neighborhood. [02:25] * DaSkreech pokes stdin :) [02:25] oh, not sure i have the space for it then [02:25] smick: how do you get it installed/downloaded? [02:25] * stdin pokes back [02:26] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [02:26] first go here: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [02:26] kiba-kun: a log of the errors would he helpful [02:26] Can someone help me get Amarok working in KDE4? it wont load. I get these errors: http://www.pastebin.ca/852783 [02:26] add the source in the instructions to your sources list. [02:27] smick: thanks, i found them as well but i added the additional source to my sources.list but apt-get still can't find a package called 'kde4-core'....

I get these errors: http://www.pastebin.ca/852783 [02:30] recommenjded paste bin? [02:31] the pastebin I am using is not working [02:31] kiba-kun: /topic [02:31] smick: should i install the packatges that can't be authenticated too? [02:31] or better not? [02:31] Audiomaniac: yes [02:31] I think they warn you, and it's cool [02:31] stdin: thanks [02:31] Qrawl: I forget if you can switch databases now with amarok how did you install it ? [02:31] smick: it's just because PPA packages aren't signed yet [02:31] I dont even use a database [02:32] it's a PPA limitation [02:32] oh [02:32] Qrawl: Amarok needs one [02:32] I think I know what migth be wrong [02:32] Amarok rocks! :) [02:33] I changed it to play a file when you click it instead of queueing it [02:33] and that uses dcop I think [02:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51737/ [02:34] Now listening to:You Walk Away by Filter on The Amalgamut [02:34] not in KDE4 it doesn't ") [02:34] thats the problem [02:35] the custom command I gave Amarok is using dcop [02:35] stdin- you happen to know when all of the KDE4 packages will be moved over to the standard backports repository? [02:35] and it is confusing KDE4 [02:35] i like the name... Amarok... listening to H3llYeah for the first time [02:36] Dragnslcr: when they compile, it takes a while for them to queue [02:37] So it's best to stick with the PPA repository for a while longer? [02:38] is someone looking into the pastiie? [02:39] Dragnslcr: the'll probably be all in there by next week at the latest [02:39] Nice, I'll have to keep an eye out [02:40] Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to play with KDE4 some more. RC2 wasn't quite usable [02:41] i've written a calc applet i want to integrate into a program... what language should i use? [02:41] VictorStone: that's not a Kubuntu support question [02:42] oh [02:42] try #kubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-offtopic or ##offtopic [02:42] tx [02:42] or #defocus too [02:43] Dragnslcr: KDE4 final is better.. using it now, had RC2 as well. [02:49] hi i have just run dhcp server on ubuntu ,want to know how can i find the list of ip that dhcp server has assigned to client? [02:50] offtopic & read whichever server you're using documentation [02:50] problem; gotta press each key for 2s before it is input. help. [02:50] aram: I think the log file is in /var/log or /var/run [02:51] ok let me check [02:51] any ideas/ [02:52] keyboard not problem [02:52] works fine in bios [02:54] works fine in vt1 [02:54] hi back [02:54] does any one know why dhcp assign ip from last i mean if range is 1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.20 the first ip it would assign to client is 1.1.1.20 and 2nd =19 and so on ?why? [02:55] aram you make the range you want it to be [02:58] n6vkz4jesus: : i mean why it assign the ip which is last one of the range to the first client that request ip i.e if range is 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20 the first ip it assign is 1.1.1.20 [03:00] good question, some thing I take for granted when getting from the server [03:01] not the answer your looking for [03:01] How is KDE 4 going? [03:01] are there any how-to's on how to make splash screens (start up screens) and login screens? [03:01] Is it cleaner than previous versions? [03:01] MinusSeven: usiing it as we speak.. better than RC2, still a little rough [03:02] I don't know if I want to try it or not, might wait for Kubuntu 8.04 [03:03] should be pretty refied by then I hope [03:03] refined [03:05] I don't understand this on the kde website "KDE4's full-featured applications run natively on Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS X." [03:05] Is that saying all kde programs run in Windows? [03:05] i have serious issue to watch videos online [03:05] I just don't know how to fix it [03:07] hi. problem; gotta press each key for 2s before it is input. help.keyboard not problem,works fine in vt1. kubuntu7.10 [03:09] hah... KDE4 is already unusable for me [03:09] I deactivated using VSync and now I cant see anything (black screen) [03:09] back to 3.5 [03:10] been there [03:10] I don't think I touched the vsync setting but received a black screen upon boot once.. [03:10] is there any way to disable that? I mean, I cant get back into KDE4 since I cant see anything :0 [03:10] anyone tried the kde4 remastered kubuntu? [03:10] delete the .kde4 folder [03:10] Hmmm... [03:10] I did that and got back in [03:10] hope that does it :) [03:11] it seems like it's a lot slower, graphically [03:11] moving windows is glitchy [03:11] not too bad here once I got rid of "fade" effects, don't care for those.. [03:12] Hm I wonder if thats whats doing it for me [03:12] I hid the ugly desktop icons even after shrinking them.. [03:12] yeah.. looks like it needs some more work. Konqueror sure looks nice though [03:13] I think I'll just totally disable desktop effects in KDE4 for now [03:13] how do i edit xorg? [03:13] go to a TTY Terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (or gdm if youre in gnome) [03:14] how do i edit xorg? [03:14] go to a TTY Terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (or gdm if youre in gnome) [03:16] Heh... when I go to any "About KDE" Dialog in KDE 4 it still tells me in in 3.5.8 [03:17] got back into kde4? [03:17] yep, thanks for the advice btw [03:17] no problem [03:18] Hm I wonder if theres a way to import my 3.5.8 settings into 4 === sonofthe1layr is now known as sonoftheclayr [03:21] marx2k: i don't believe so, except for the kde3 apps you using inside kde4 (which happen to loose config set up at some point) you can copy the config into kde4 [03:21] Hm, I see. I also notice KDE4 has no screensavers? :) [03:21] does for me? [03:21] weird [03:22] nothing new mine u [03:22] might need to install those? [03:22] Also, for some reason, aptitude is keeping these packages back: kcontrol kdebase-bin kdebase-kio-plugins kdesktop kdm kfind konqueror python-qt4 [03:22] I wonder what thats all about [03:22] well those except python-qt4 are kde3 apps [03:23] and usually means their dependencies are not met [03:23] yes...fixing that now... [03:24] hello all [03:24] I'm having a slight issue [03:24] I just upgraded to KDE 4.0 [03:24] however, sound is flaking [03:24] some apps are giving me 'Can not initalize sound device: /dev/dsp busy' [03:25] you know whats weird ... while in KDE 4 konqueror-kde3 seems to run a lot smoother than when i am in kde3 .... [03:25] If I install KDE4, is there an easy way to get rid of it? eg. one apt-get command [03:26] i currently have a regular GNOME ubuntu install [03:26] kde4 overall seems to be a lot glitchier graphically than 3.5.8 [03:26] <[ka]killer> humm i just installed the kde4 packages, now i want to switch to try it out but i cant switch my session to kde4 [03:26] Some_Person: for you yea it shouldn't be hard [03:26] nice to see all these Gnome users interested in KDE.. but I feel most will be disappointed.. [03:26] adz21c: what command would it be? [03:26] Some_Person: if you had KDE3 installed it was a bit of a bitch for me [03:27] <[ka]killer> yah, if you like gnome your not going to like kde [03:27] Do taskbar thumbnails show up for you all? [03:27] Well they are gnome users.. they are used to low expectations. :) [03:27] Dr_willis: don't insult GNOME users! [03:27] :) [03:27] <[ka]killer> but really why cant i switch to kde4 from the login menu? [03:27] Some_Person: well, no its not a single command, but u can just remove the kde4 apps from synaptic or whatever program tickles your fancy [03:27] marx2k: they did when I enabled them, immediately disabled them :) [03:28] ScottG: Weird. I am just seeing large grey blocks where the thumbnails should be [03:28] [ka]killer: what happens when you try? [03:28] <[ka]killer> nothing, in the menu it just displays KDE or failsafe [03:28] does the kde4 package (im using PPA by the way, as i dont think all the packages are in backports) depend on any non-kde4 packages? [03:28] well.. not all of my apps had previews.. last.fm didn't.. firefox did [03:28] [ka]killer: sure you got all the required packages? [03:29] <[ka]killer> i let adept install the base [03:29] Need to get 5303kB of archives. After unpacking 77.8kB will be used. <- Thats kind of funny [03:29] [ka]killer: and you got them from ppa not the RC packages [03:29] <[ka]killer> not sure, sudo apt-get install kdebase-kde4 [03:29] [ka]killer: what version does it say that is? [03:29] brb [03:29] <[ka]killer> i cant tell i cant start a session with it -_- [03:30] <[ka]killer> in adept it says its the official release [03:30] [ka]killer: in the package manager [03:30] 4.0.0 [03:30] ? [03:30] <[ka]killer> yes [03:30] gutsy1~ppa? [03:30] <[ka]killer> gusty1 [03:30] <[ka]killer> ~gusty1* [03:30] thats from backports I am not sure if they are ready yet [03:30] hah damnit... I think it keeps forgetting my settings (KDE4) when I log out/in [03:31] <[ka]killer> which package should i have installed then [03:31] backports doesnt have all the needed packages, i can confirm that [03:31] <[ka]killer> well what am i missing [03:31] anybody konw how to restore the main panel in KDE 4? [03:31] ones with version 4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa [03:32] [ka]killer: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php add the repo there [03:32] <[ka]killer> hold on let me remove what i have first [03:33] heh.. KLibido's panel tab is nearly all black. [03:33] ScottG: disappointed? [03:33] wonder why that is...

[03:35] DaSkreech: Yes, I don't think it's as amazing as people checking it out will want it to be.. [03:35] I think the general consensus is wait for 4.1 [03:35] DaSkreech: In fact, I think it may as wrll be called RC3 :) [03:35] are there any how-to's on how to make splash screens (start up screens) and login screens? [03:36] ScottG: What point do you want it to be RCx++ ? [03:36] one thing Im worrying about is kdesu is telling me that my root password is incorrect! [03:36] I'm merely stating my opinion.. nothing more.. [03:37] <[ka]killer> wtf [03:37] that bad huh :/ [03:37] is anyone else getting that weird error with kdesu in KDE4? [03:37] [ka]killer: ? === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [03:37] that tells you your password is incorrect? [03:37] marx2k: i am getting the same thing [03:37] ok [03:37] <[ka]killer> its bitchignh that the repo is bad [03:37] Hello all [03:37] [ka]killer: in what way? [03:37] killer: whats the error? [03:37] what are the pre-req files for amarok so it can play mp3s [03:38] B2ASpirit: I think it's w32codecs [03:38] hmmmmmm have any idea where i can get them? [03:39] I think its in the repos isnt it? [03:39] repo [03:39] its weird the first time i installed kde4 on my mac book pro with amarok it worked immediately after install [03:39] oh ok [03:39] <[ka]killer> got it [03:39] marx2k: I believe so [03:39] <[ka]killer> im looking for gusty1~ppa correct? [03:39] Hmm, Gimp doesnt seem to be in my kicker menu [03:39] [ka]killer: indeed [03:39] I got a laptop (about 4 years old) for free [03:39] [ka]killer: you might wanna disable backports, stop the mingling [03:40] Turns out HDD burned out and owner thought it was dead (whole laptop) [03:40] So [03:40] <[ka]killer> which one is the backports [03:40] I just got a laptop for $140 (price of new hdd) [03:40] whoa... I didnt have gimp installed [03:40] thats weird [03:40] marx2k: You too? [03:40] Hmmm I guess Kubuntu doesnt have that autoinstalled? [03:41] marx2k: I thought I did something to remove it, but I guess not. [03:41] nah I think its just not in there by default [03:41] marx2k: I don't think that's it. I have been with Kubuntu since the initial release of 6.06. I've had gimp since then. [03:41] This is recent [03:41] Hmm.. well Im installing it via aptitude and I KNOW I didnt uninstall it... [03:42] weeeeeeeeeeird [03:42] very [03:43] ..... I feel geeky now. I just took a look around and I saw my desktop (this one) my old laptop (running my IMs) and the new laptop (currently installing Kubuntu 7.10). It's all Kubuntu [03:43] ") [03:43] :) [03:43] hahaha Konversation's 'About' diualog says Im using 3.5.8 KDE, while Konqueror for KDE4 says Im using 4.0 [03:43] I always thought it got that info from the system [03:43] marx2k: They are both correct [03:43] <[ka]killer> i cant find it -_- [03:44] Oh, because one is using 3.5.8 libs and the other is using 4? [03:44] sweet i think i figured it out [03:44] marx2k: Correct [03:44] B2ASpirit: ^_^ [03:44] it was libxine1-ffmpeg [03:44] ok...KDE4 freaks me out... time to run back to 3.5.8.. brb [03:44] that was the file i needed [03:44] k [03:44] lol [03:45] <[ka]killer> lol [03:45] <[ka]killer> restarting x brb [03:45] DaSkreech: Hey there. [03:45] Ohhh so much better :) [03:45] Hey [03:45] marx2k: :-D [03:48] hi nikkiana [03:48] hi DaSkreech [03:48] Ok, so far.. not a big fan of KDE4.. will wait for updates [03:48] How are you? [03:48] marx2k: What scared you? [03:49] hmm no sodipodi in kubuntu gusty? [03:49] eh... just seems kind of buggy.. windows dont show up coirrectly (KLibido's tab was pitch black on the taskbar), seems a little slower (as in less smooth).. and kdesu is broken [03:50] Other than Kooka, is there another app for scanners? [03:50] xsane [03:51] marx2k: had you rebooted and logged straight into kde4? infact had you rebooted at all? [03:52] biovore: Do you think I need the suggested packages? xsane-doc hylafax-client mgetty-fax gv gocr [03:53] well I have used xsane here when I needed to scan.. works ok.. [03:57] biovore: xsane works great. Thank you. I have an HP Deskjet F4180 [03:57] ok cool.. [03:58] Guy at the counter asked me, "Do you have the print out of your order?" I had already told him I'm there to pick up a printer and a laptop hdd. "No. Hence, 'I'm here for a printer'..." [03:59] How difficult would it be to install kde 4 on feisty? [03:59] Can you? [03:59] draik: yea but its people like my friend who owns wwwaaayyyy to many printers that makes him ask that :-) [03:59] you can.. but you have to build from source.. [03:59] have to update dbus and some other components for kde4 to build on a feisty platform.. also need to install all the kdesdk and qt4 stuff [04:00] adz21c: I know. From my POV, I was wrong because I assumed that he knew me and knows that I'm there because my old printer has already served its purpose. === brendon_ is now known as Alamue [04:02] hi, i just installed kde4 on my kubuntu installation and apt-get tells me now whenever i try to install something else: "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)." [04:02] Off-topic, sorry. I'm in crutches and wonder if anyone knows about the arm/wrist issues. What makes them go away the fastest? [04:03] std: Have you done as it says? sudo apt-get -f install [04:03] when i do this, it tells mee: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [04:03] why this, can anyone help? [04:03] probablem probably stems from changing /etc/apt/sources.list [04:04] draik: thanks for reoplying, sorry oversaw this [04:04] hi all! [04:04] are there ay way to get work my 5 buttons mouse? [04:04] yup [04:04] biovore: so do you think i should delete this addiotional line i had to add? [04:04] What is that command to fix adept with fuser? [04:04] mith_: need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and tell it that the mouse has 5 buttons [04:04] std: Yes [04:05] std: well if probably added a 3rd parity repo.. [04:05] std: and installed some applications from it.. [04:05] std: so you need to remove thoses applications and change the repos to the defualt ones.. or resolve the dependency [04:05] std: I'm just curious. What did you add? [04:05] hmm thanks i will try it now [04:06] mith_: google on it.. I think linuxgamers has some articals on it.. [04:07] draik: i added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main" to get kde4 installed [04:07] I have that on my amd64 machine here.. isn't causing any problems yet.. [04:07] but that is a 3rd parity repo [04:07] and hasn't been shown not to mess up dependencies.. [04:08] biovore: i got this from http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [04:09] my kubuntu version is: 7.10 [04:10] did i screw it up by installing kde4? :o [04:11] well it could be something else.. [04:11] what you try to install thats has the dependency problem [04:12] biovore: anything but specifically Tomboy [04:13] whats the dependicy is says its missing? [04:14] Hello! :) [04:14] biovore: Depends: packagename but it is not goin to be installed and in the end it says "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)." [04:14] whats packagename? [04:14] Anyone.. alive? [04:14] Oh no! Your all dead :( [04:15] !ask [04:15] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:15] biovore: it's a long list [04:16] whats the first on the list.. tomboy looks like a gnome app so probably all the gnome crud.. [04:16] and it needs mono apparently [04:16] !help [04:16] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:17] biovore: starting with:kde-icons-oxygen, kdebase-runtime & kdeebase-data-kde4 are the first 3 packs returning "but it's not gonna be installed " [04:18] hmm those are not tomboy dependencies.. [04:18] no, don't look like even tho it says "depends:" [04:18] std: you x86 kubuntu gusty? [04:19] x86 7.10 (gutsy?) [04:19] *gusty? [04:19] yup [04:19] hi :D, any news of the kde 4 bug that restart x server ? [04:19] that would be kde4 crashing.. [04:19] hey, what gives! how come I can't change user to root ? [04:19] there isn't a root password [04:19] sudo -s to become root [04:20] thank you, biovore [04:20] or sudo -i [04:20] or sudo su [04:20] : [04:20] :P [04:20] mixed- Ubuntu disables the root account by default. Learn to love sudo instead === aRyn_ is now known as aRy [04:21] damn my kde 4 restart my xserver everytime i try to run it [04:21] rofl Dragnscr, will do, sudo -i does the same effect [04:21] segfault: if kde4 crashes or quits out.. the xserver exits and goes back to the login screen.. [04:21] yeah [04:22] i choose in kdm KDE4 y put my password, then ksplash , then xserver restart === aRy is now known as aRyn [04:22] Does anyone know where I can find the KDE 4 wallpapers? [04:22] tecnosquad.org [04:22] kde-look.org [04:22] there [04:25] why are kde themes so complicated to install? [04:25] because they rox :P [04:25] hahaha why didnt I think of that :) [04:25] marx2k: I've never had a problem. [04:25] ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix [04:25] ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`; make; sudo make install [04:25] std: I see those packages in the kde4 repo [04:26] draik: Just having to compile.... [04:26] because some kde themes are actualy a hole new widget system that need to built and compiled.. [04:26] Woohoo. New laptop now equiped with Kubuntu [04:26] How'd the wireless setup go for you? [04:26] rlz draik ! [04:26] congrats [04:27] * draik bows [04:27] Anyone know how to change the graphics used in Ubuntu? [04:27] what graphic? [04:27] using debian? :x [04:27] xD [04:27] rofl [04:27] The one displayed during startup. === segfault is now known as segfault2k [04:28] you before the login screen or the kde setup screen? [04:28] Login screen. [04:28] drklabyrinth: Which one? The bar moving back and forth or the startup (bootsplash)? [04:28] The bar. [04:28] Login or the bar? [04:29] Login is easy [04:29] I'm looking to change the bar. [04:29] I'm not sure about the bar. I haven't done that one yet. I think I tried and failed [04:29] bar? [04:29] The graphic above the bar. [04:29] you mean after you login.. [04:29] draik: hope you feel better soon [04:29] bazhang: Right now, my left foot feels that its swollen beyond what is to fit in the cast === gryc is now known as grycAFK [04:30] When Ubuntu is loading, before the login prompt. [04:30] bazhang: Thanks. I have been hoping the same since the start of this issue :) [04:30] anyone here has quake III? I just finished installing quake III and I don't have sound :-( [04:30] sorry to hear that draik wish you well [04:31] ugh, lemme brb, I'll have to find where that graphic takes place. [04:33] hello [04:33] KDE4 rocks [04:33] valid point [04:34] but kmix dosen't [04:34] lol [04:34] xD [04:34] Hello everyone [04:34] kde 4.1 will rock more :B [04:34] sMonk, hi d00d :B [04:35] what do you guys think about memaker [04:35] nothing much. you? [04:35] Ok, when the system is starting, there appears a bar, this same graphic shows up during shutdown. [04:35] Andy ideas how to change that "Ubuntu" graphic? [04:35] sudo apt-get install startupmanager [04:36] anyone know the path to modprobe.conf? [04:36] "/etc/modprobe.conf' [04:37] finder [04:37] what do you guys think about memaker <-- the avatar creator thing? [04:37] shadowh511, I don't have a modprobe.conf in "/etc" [04:37] yes segfault2k [04:37] hi ppl [04:38] oh, its in /etc/modprobe.d [04:38] srry 4 the null info [04:38] shadowh511 that package doesn't exist [04:38] enable universe [04:39] the "live" kde4 kubuntu iso, is installabe ? [04:39] installable? [04:39] I have a probleb in KDE 4... the main panel has disappeared after rebooting [04:40] and I don't know how to get it back [04:40] I have a microsoft laser mouse 8000. How can I configure it so I can use me back/forward buttons? [04:40] Does anyone know if kde4 saves its config information to ~/.kde or if it will save config info to .kde4 or similar [04:40] ~/.kde4 [04:41] thanks segfault2k [04:41] in kubuntu at least [04:41] yo [04:41] i think if u compile it from source, u'll have a ~/.kde thing :B [04:42] does anyone know if i can add something like a "quick launcher" in kde4 pnel (known from 3.5.x) [04:44] Where can I get more user icons? [04:44] I think I've overused Daemon [04:44] draik: the interweb [04:44] shadowh511: Got a site? [04:44] google [04:45] how do I restart artsd [04:45] shadowh511: kde-look doesn't have any and I'm not sure what to "google". [04:46] find the procedd id for it and then type in 'sudo kill -1 ' [04:46] *process [04:46] draik: google for what you want (ie puppies or nuclear explosions [04:47] draik: Icons for what? KDE4 user icons? or what? [04:47] shadowh511: Doesn't it have to be a certain size or something? I figured there was a site full of different images to use. [04:47] sMonk: Login icons for usernames. It's not KDE4 yet. [04:47] use svg icons if you are paranoid [04:48] try openclipart.org [04:48] Ah ok [04:48] that helps === grycAFK is now known as gryc [04:49] they /join #memaker [04:49] what package contains kde3 headers? [04:50] i like kde and gnome and xfce [04:51] marx2k: i have no clue, try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [04:52] kde and gnome? U are caze [04:52] and xfce4 [04:53] i accidentally panned one of the desktops 3/4rs off screen ... how do i reset that or 'pan' back? [04:53] shadowh511: Im not sure if that will do it [04:54] Im looking specifically for build headers to build QTCurve theme [04:54] try kde4, it does that by itself [04:55] cya [04:55] where in .kde4 can i play with the panel settings? [04:56] holycow: .kde/share/config/plasma-appletrc [04:56] look for the one with plugin=panel [04:56] danke [04:56] np [04:57] Anyone know of a utility t oconfigure extra mouse buttons, or is there a way to do this through kde alone? [04:57] *to configure [04:58] corinth: i think you can do it in kde3 via systemsettings [04:58] you can in compiz, i know that [04:58] Synaptic is evil, I feel like a kid at a candy store. [04:58] true [04:58] you won't live long enough to try everything drklabyrinth [04:58] Anyone else feel like that? This is my first time using Ubuntu, I'm awestruck. [04:59] what do you use then? [04:59] everyone does when they first discover that [04:59] I used to use MS. [04:59] how do you check who's in the "audio" group? [04:59] lol [04:59] adz21c: Hmm. Where in System Settings would I find that? [05:00] shadowh511: welcome to the dark side [05:00] get kde by typing sudo apt-get install kde4-base [05:00] corinth: just looked you can't ... i distinctly remember using something once where i could choose the type of mouse and keyboard I have [05:00] i just wish that I could get my keyboard to work with Amarok. [05:00] i had vista, but zeroed it out and installed ubuntu cuz it took 15 min to boot and login, and was SLOW [05:01] There's so many issues with Vista. [05:01] Clean install on a Dell XPS 420. [05:01] mixed: sudo grep audio /etc/group [05:01] And it was slow, and it always crashed. [05:01] mixed: actually you don't need the sudo [05:02] thanks , msl [05:02] There's nothing wrong with Vista besides the principles and practices it's built on. I had no problems at all with Vista. Ran fast and looked great. I just switched to Kubuntu because I don't like close-source systems. [05:03] does anyone know if "/dev/dsp" should be have read/write permissions for everyone? [05:03] 'eh, corinth, if I didn't have issues with it, I would have probably never made the jump. [05:03] corinth: agreed, well there were some user interface stuff that annoyed me but beyond that I haven't had many problems with it [05:03] :-P [05:03] How long before you don't have to google frantically for every little thing you want to do? === blargit is now known as billytwowilly [05:05] drklabyrinth: depends what kinda stuff u want to do [05:06] I'm still not..."1337" (God I hate that term), but I consider myself adept when it comes to security. [05:06] That is what I enjoy. [05:07] It's what I'll be going to school for in a few months too. [05:07] uni/college course? [05:07] Yeah. [05:07] I'm getting my ISS degree. [05:07] iss? [05:07] Information systems security. [05:08] ok, thats what i thought just dbl checking lol [05:08] Anyone ever use Nessus? Is it comparable to Nmap? [05:08] how is plasma restarted? [05:08] holycow: should restart itself [05:09] I see that Nmap has a GUI, that's unfortunate. [05:10] With GUI's for nmap, and things like metasploit...the world has gone to the skiddies. [05:11] drklabyrinth: Nessus will check for vulnerabilities, nmap isn't quite so fancy === harry is now known as hdevalence === hdevalence is now known as hdvalence [05:13] *sigh* kde... [05:17] don't like kde 4? [05:18] I think it's pretty nice for a glimpse. [05:18] Once more apps are ported over, it's likely to kick the junk out of gnome. [05:19] i'm personally debating switching to gnome [05:19] KDE won't ever kick the junk out of gnome until it works as well out of the box as gnome does. Gnome generally needs little configuration. [05:19] i like kde better, but kde crashes on me all the time for some reason [05:19] and today it totally froze [05:19] had to do a hard reboot [05:19] What's the difference between KDE and GNOME? [05:19] and fsck took like 1.5 hours to fix all the problems that resulted [05:20] crimsun: that's like saying "once the bugs are worked out of vista, it's likely to kick the junk out of xp" - while it's probably true, it's entirely speculative [05:20] hehe [05:20] KDE is highly configurable, but most things *need* configuration. Gnome is simpler, not as configurable, but tends to work better out of the box. [05:20] i would like kde 4 to be the best out there, but as a .0 release, it isn't happening. now, come 4.1, i will probably have to revise that statement :) [05:21] I see, so it's just a matter of preference, as to how much control you want over your box? [05:21] Daisuke_Ido: I care not whether it's speculation, because I fully intend to help make it happen. [05:21] well they said .0 is only for early adopters [05:21] crimsun: bravo :D [05:21] that is the best possible comeback. [05:22] I always thought that the best possible comeback was "your mom" [05:22] drklabyrinth: No, not about control exactly [05:22] and in other awesome news, open simcity. [05:22] Oh wow, the paths are already done for you. [05:22] :o [05:22] drklabyrinth: It has drawbacks on both sides [05:22] YOU CAN OPEN FIREFOX FROM A TERMINAL! [05:23] That's wicked. [05:23] does anyone else have semi-regular full system freezes (can't even restart with alt+sysrq+b) in kde? [05:23] it happens for no real apparent reason [05:23] drklabyrinth: you can open anything from terminal [05:23] ...you can open ANYTHING with a terminal????? [05:23] drklabyrinth: Choose more configuration, you'll need it. Choose simplicity, you won't be able to configure as much as you'd like, but it will probably work without it. [05:23] is that what that sysrq key is for? [05:23] neat. [05:23] it's true, you learn something new every day [05:24] Wow, I shoulda switched to *nix when I first started playing with computers. [05:24] drklabyrinth: infact thats a good way to find out some errors as you will find most apps output info to terminal, sometimes more info than u get from dialogues [05:24] you can open most things in a cmd prompt on windblows but why would you even run windows [05:24] The paths are way to long. [05:24] Daisuke_Ido: http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ < this is where i found out about that [05:25] snarkster: way to be mature about the OS debate [05:25] oh im mature.. lol just poking fun [05:25] lol [05:25] Please dont ever take me too serious [05:25] ...hence the name? [05:25] *ooo* found the panel item [05:26] brb [05:26] There's a ton of cool stuff here. [05:26] I'm gonna go try WINE, I'll bbl. [05:26] * drklabyrinth is doing God knows who. [05:26] i'm starting to think that an unstable version of amarok might be part of my system freeze problem, i'd say it's running about 75% of the time my system dies [05:27] awag22: did you just install a version of Ubuntu? [05:27] How do I get "dselect" if it has no candidates? [05:27] drklabyrinth: no [05:27] My system always crashed when I started it until I let it run .mp3's via the terminal. [05:27] Mmm, well, though I might be able to help. [05:27] hmm [05:32] i have a "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)" but for some reason sound isnt working [05:32] no mixer? [05:33] any ideas? [05:41] Kaffeine won't play my DVDs. Help? [05:41] nm i got it [05:44] hello [05:45] how do i set the settings for kompmgr? [05:47] I'm trying to get everything installed from what I have on this desktop to the new laptop [05:47] I did "dpkg --get-selections < file.txt" on the desktop [05:47] On the new laptop, I have done the following... [05:47] dpkg --set-selections < file.txt [05:48] sudo dselect update [05:48] sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [05:48] When I run the last command, I get "E: Invalid operation dselect" [05:48] Is there an alternative [05:49] Whoopsie. On the desktop, it was "dpkg --get-selections > file.txt" I had the carat facing the wrong way in Konversation [05:50] Hmm. I normally use a different set of commands. [05:50] Sorry, got it [05:50] Dr_willis: What do you use? [05:51] sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list [05:51] and then [05:51] cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install --assume-yes --force-yes [05:51] Pretty. [05:51] Let me try that. [05:51] Thank you. [05:51] be sure you really want all the packages on box1, installed on 2. [05:52] ya dont need nvidia for example on an ati box. :) [05:52] I do [05:52] Uh-oh. Thanks for that reminder [05:52] That's an actual issue I'm going to have [05:52] Desktop is nVidia; laptop is ATI [05:52] How do I go around that? [05:53] edit the text file :) [05:53] That's what I thought. Thanks [05:54] Thanks Dr_willis. The file produced is exactly what I've wanted all along. [05:56] are there any how-to's on how to make splash screens (start up screens) and login screens? [05:57] Makuseru: kde-look.org has quite a few to use. I'm sure they have a how-to on making them as they do for applying them. [05:57] I want to be able to remote from my windows laptop to my linux desktop. How can I do this? === blargit is now known as billytwowilly [05:58] draik: ive seen the how to install them, but never how to make them [05:59] Makuseru: google.com/linux maybe? [05:59] Dr_willis: Seems that what I want to install has zero candidates [06:00] draik: tried that [06:00] a2mp3 and abcde don't seem to have candidates [06:01] Nevermind [06:01] For some strange reason, the install commented all of the repos [06:04] anyone knows how to start the archive manager using the command line? [06:04] How do I handle .cpk files? [06:05] how do I change permissions so that I can write to a file? [06:05] Dr_willis: Doesn't seem to work [06:05] No candidates [06:05] mixed, see chmod [06:06] Hmm. [06:06] mixed: If it's a system file, see !sudo [06:06] draik, not sure what you are doing.. it may be theres a issue with my commands. :0 i aint used them in ages. [06:06] DrVince: .cpk files.. SEGA video? [06:06] Oh well. Thanks for the help [06:07] biovore: no, it seems a package of some kind [06:07] I was thinking htere was some other option i needed at the end of the import line. [06:07] ardchoille, im trying to edit an archived file but I have to change the permisssions [06:07] eeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk [06:07] edit an archived file? [06:07] mixed: Where is that file? In your $HOME? [06:07] DrVince: what does file say it is? [06:08] ardchoille, it's an archive file for quake, i'ts under /usr/local/games, I have to switch permissions so that I can erase a file [06:08] ardchoille: sudo chmod 777 does wonders ;) [06:08] draik, i use those 2 commands and they seem to work here. be sure your sources.list is identicalon both machines.. and updated === msl_ is now known as msl [06:08] draik, just it does but then how would I change it back! LoL [06:08] They are [06:08] I have a GNOME/KDE4 system, and I want to hide all the KDE4 apps in GNOME and hide the GNOME apps in KDE4. How can I do this? [06:09] biovore: It said POSIX tar archive (GNU) so I tar xvf it and it worked. Thanks a bunch [06:09] draik: yes, it does, but it's ot a good idea to open up a system file like that [06:09] Some_Person, fire up the menu editor and get editing i think.. Not very fun eh? :( [06:09] draik, these are the current permissions: -r-xr-xr-x [06:09] ardchoille, it's not a system file but thanks for the warning! [06:09] DrVince: I did some looking.. look like novell has some system that puts packages in .cpk files [06:09] mixed, whats the exact file name anyway? and why would it be executable? [06:09] mixed: Ah, ok [06:09] Dr_willis: When I hide them manually in GNOME, they also hide in KDE4 :( [06:10] Sounds like the permissions may be all messed up. [06:10] Some_Person, Yep.. thats an issue [06:10] Dr_Willis, it doesnt have to be executable, just editable, the name is pak0.pk3 [06:10] Dr_willis: damnit [06:10] mixed, you mean 'writeable' and i dont know why it even needs to be writeable. [06:11] chmod +w thefilename should make it writeable for the current user. [06:11] I cant imagine why the quake game needs to write to one of the pak files. [06:11] Dr_Willis, it needs to be writable because I want it to be writable, just for the heck of it, lets see what happens, and it is not a system file so it's all good [06:11] Dr_willis: any workarounds? [06:11] biovore: yeah, part of Zen or something [06:11] Some_Person, no idea. Not heard of any so far since ive been hanging in here. [06:11] Dr_willis: damnit [06:11] Dr_Willis, quake isn't going to write on it, i'm going to write on it LoL [06:12] Some_Person, the Huge # of menu items is getting to be an issue in kde/gnome/windows/and so forth. :( [06:12] mixed, then chmod +w it. [06:12] at least windows added scrollbars [06:12] I tend to just use katapult, and rarely use the menus [06:12] but i dont want kde apps ill never use in gnome appearing [06:13] Dr_Willis, thanks for the input, I cheated and went with 777 LoL [06:13] vista has that search thing also. [06:13] i hate vista! [06:13] mixed, you really should learn what permissions are and how they work in linux. [06:13] Dr_willis, I think i should, im quite rusty [06:14] chmod +w w=writeable.. hard to rember? :) [06:14] I never can rember the #'s i [06:17] x is eXecutable [06:18] What is a? [06:18] chmod a+x filename.sh [06:18] Dr_wililis, there are 3 permissions, [everyone][group][user] --> i get those confused, anyway, that's not a good topic for here but thanks anyway, I appreciate your input [06:19] draik: a = all (owner, group, and others) [06:19] Thanks ardchoille [06:19] Dr_willis, and when I learned about chmod I used to use the numbers [06:21] mixed: I understand that the numbers go from binary (for everyone, group, user) then get converted to decimal then entered as the triple digit numbers. I forgot the purpose to the fourth number. [06:22] s/understand/understood [06:22] I am so confused with KDE4 [06:23] Where the hell is kcontrol and how the hell do i get it? [06:23] Some_Person: there is no such thing in kde4 [06:23] Some_Person: kcontrol is gone in kde4, replaced with system settings [06:23] System Settings = Crippled KControl [06:24] I don't think there is a kcontrol for kde4... [06:24] kde 4 is rc2? [06:24] right? [06:24] draik, ill reesearch that later, i just got sound on Quake III working, woo hooo thank you all for your help, laterz [06:24] bye mixed [06:25] KDE4 is stable and final [06:25] ive seen some threads discuss kcontroll vs systemsettings.. [06:25] I dont find the current release of kde4 stable. :) [06:25] true, but its called stable [06:25] Some_Person: And it's not final :) [06:25] :P [06:25] does anyone know what "could not start kdeinit4" means???? [06:26] And what is this KPackage shit? how do i get a new package with it? [06:26] thers a buglet with kpackage. it asks for th ROOT user password. not the sudo password [06:26] so you need to run it with kdesudo kpackage, [06:26] !language | Some_Person [06:26] Some_Person: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:26] unless you have a root password set.. [06:27] hi channel [06:27] i did set a root pass, and it runs [06:27] hello abbe [06:27] but it only lists installed packages [06:27] running KDE4 in kubuntu, using guidelines at kubuntu.org [06:27] hi msl [06:27] grr mine doesent run :( [06:27] I highly preferred Adept [06:27] I noticed after adding that PPA repository, that some packages can be updated, like Amarok, should I update them from that PPA, hmm...? [06:27] I perfer synaptic. :) [06:28] apt [06:28] Also, how do I integrate GNOME apps like i could in KDE3? [06:28] Also I noticed a problem in Konqueror 4, I'm not able to use Cookies [06:28] when I use Settings->Configure Konqueror to change my cookies settings, I get this: Unable to start cookie handler service. You'll not be able to manage the cookies that're store on your computer. [06:28] abbe: yeah... upgrade... [06:29] cd [06:29] abbe: i had that cookie issue too, let me check again [06:29] DreadKnight: thanks [06:29] im thinking KDE4 sucks [06:29] Then dont use it i guess. :) [06:30] abbe: it works fine now, try upgrading.. [06:30] DreadKnight: will I be able to switch to KDE stuff (in Ubuntu repositories, when its considered stable for Gutsy users, hmm...) [06:30] its a work in progress.. like many things. its got rough spots. [06:30] DreadKnight: okay, I'm doing an upgrade. thanks [06:31] u know what forget kde4, 3 works fine [06:31] hehe i hate to upgrade distributions, they always fail LOL. [06:31] wheren't there supposed to be some new cursor set? [06:32] How do I change the desktop folder? [06:33] Some_Person, change it to what? [06:33] another folder [06:33] You could just link /home/user/Desktop ---> other place [06:33] Or visa-versa [06:33] no, i need ~/Desktop as it is for GNOME [06:33] hsystemx yeah seems that about the time they totally abandon a distro/release it's generaly suitable for common use. [06:33] i want 2 desktops, it was easy in KControl in KDE3 [06:34] You want KDE to have a difrerent Desktop dir then Gnome.. is what you are saying. [06:34] yes === bomber_ is now known as bomber [06:35] * drklabyrinth is doing God knows who. [06:35] * drklabyrinth is done doing God knows who. [06:35] ! [06:35] Ahhh, 'tis good to be back. [06:35] WINE rocks my socks. [06:35] hahaha [06:35] WINE is horrible [06:35] I just got done playing Doom. [06:36] I haven't played Doom in years. [06:36] !ot [06:36] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [06:36] I think there is a linux port of doom [06:36] You do relize there are linxu native ports of DOOM now? wine is not needed. [06:36] wine is wine is not an emulator [06:36] same with all the quakes [06:36] Theres several improved spinoffs of doom. :) [06:36] I think most of ID's games have linux ports [06:36] !find doom [06:36] Found: deutex, freedoom, kdoomsday, lxdoom, lxdoom-sndserv (and 5 others) [06:37] who want to play dooms, with all the new games that are coming to the market right now ... lol. [06:37] hey guys; in kde4, i enabled a desktop effect of "sharpening" windows.. and my screen went black. im on w/ failsafe... is there a config file to reset those desktop effectsts? [06:37] Old school is where it's at. [06:37] hsystemx what's doom ? [06:37] heh. [06:38] So you're telling my my KDE desktop is stuck at ~/Desktop? [06:38] Doom is an old school "3d" game. [06:39] at least doom 3 LOL... [06:39] wastedfluid you can rm -r ~/.kde4 and reset it that way but that resets all to default [06:39] well [06:39] that's not a big deal [06:39] i'll just have to copy a startup file [06:40] Some_Person: systemsettings > About Me > Paths [06:40] thank you [06:40] yw [06:40] someone got conky running on kde4 without crashing kde4? [06:41] that is one krazy place to put that adjustment ardchoille ;/ [06:41] lol kde 3.5 still better than kde4 ... [06:41] What about IRC? I'm using XChat right now. What does KDE4 have to offer? [06:43] And I need a package manager, not a currently-installed-packages-lister [06:43] Some_Person: Or "kcmshell desktoppath" . kcmshell --list for more odules :) [06:46] 4>odules ??? [06:47] modules [06:47] hi everyone, I'm trying to get dual display set up... Just a simple mirrored display. I can get it working just fine with a secondary monitor, but the projectors at school don't even 'get a signal'. Does anyone know how I can insure the functionality of the school projectors? I need to make a presentation this coming Monday... I can't really test the functionality until the time has come... I'm using KDe 4.0 and a Macbook; Intel i850, [06:47] I believe; not sure ont hat... :/ [06:49] KDE4 won't recognise the new dekstop path [06:50] i logged off/on and got the same one [06:51] anyone know how to disable aiglx extensions from the prompt? [06:53] god, i have a feeling KDE4, with its confusity, will not do very well [06:53] Give it some time. [06:53] I've been ghosting this channel for a few hours. [06:54] Word on the block is that .0 is going to be crap. [06:54] ok [06:54] But if you think about it, Firefox .0 was crap too. [06:54] And look at it today. [06:54] but for now i'm gonna do "sudo apt-get --purge autoremove kde4" [06:54] trying to resolve this issue that occurs whenever someone logs via kdm: AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x24. says that a bunch of times for 0x22-0x2d [06:54] you mean Phoenix .0 [06:55] for the record, didn't try to install kde4, i just tried a regular update/upgrade yesterday and it started [06:55] kde4 is bad right now, but it probably will get better [06:57] also, i noticed xorg.conf shows i'm using via driver, but i heard openchrome is supposed to be bettr for our s3 unichrome. i installed the openchrome package but it didn't create an openchrome_drv.so or anything (though aptitude show pkgname stated it should be named and referred to as openchrome to mitigate potential via/openchrome conflicts) [07:00] furthermore, after grepping recursively several times i cannot find any mention of 3d rendering modules/extensions anywhere in /etc/X11 [07:07] i think i liked a dubble nat better than a single bridged lan. and i'm sure that the dubble security was a plus rather than a minus. [07:10] intelikey: seems like that would get kinda hard to maintain if you ever have to worry about opening services or traffic shoping though [07:10] shaping* [07:10] (not that i have much experience with either :P) [07:12] yeah i'm no network admin. and all but network illiterate but, i did manage to setup two lan's and have them share one inet connection. but was having trouble accessing lan1 form lan0 so i made it all one and bridged them. [07:13] now the file server is accessable to all as well as the inet. i kinda need someone to portmap me and see if i left any holes open. [07:13] which ip? [07:14] inet addr:4.253.68.39 P-t-P:63.215.29.19 [07:14] ppp connection? [07:14] forgot how to portmap [07:15] hi everyone [07:15] biovore yes [07:15] hello serrucho [07:15] can somebody help me to fix my youtube videos ( or internet videos ) [07:16] !flash | serrucho [07:16] serrucho: 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 [07:16] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [07:16] that's a hard thing to do serrucho, [07:16] brb [07:16] really? [07:17] i`ll try that [07:17] flash [07:17] so i just need to install the flash [07:17] intelikey: Looks good.. tcp scan only show port 53 open.. [07:18] serrucho: It's currently broken [07:18] hi all [07:18] if only port 53 is open it sounds as though you may be scanning the ISP side (or they have a NAT going) [07:18] running kubuntu on a laptop [07:19] and at startup, i can't see anything before the login screen [07:19] already tried vga=769 and still no joy [07:19] any ideas? [07:20] intelikey: port 22 (Telnet) shows up on the 63.215 ip [07:21] err port 23 I mean [07:21] back. [07:21] port 23 ??? hmmm [07:22] xptical: which version? [07:23] biovore that has to be on the isp. i'm not running any telnet services on the gateway. [07:23] xptical, which version of kubuntu are you running? [07:23] the latest stable [07:23] 7.10? [07:23] yeah, you need to press Alt and then f2 [07:24] Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic [07:24] ?? [07:24] I get a blank screen [07:24] it's like the VGA mode is all jacked [07:24] biovore oh and the 63.215 is the isp end of the ppp so yeah. i wish they would close that hole but it's not in my reach. [07:24] then type the following in the box: [07:24] sudo apt-get install startupmanager [07:24] ctrl+alt+f2 is blank [07:25] ps thankyou for the check. [07:25] and ctrl+alt+f7 is the KDE screen [07:25] now stop trying to crack my isp. [07:25] ;/ [07:25] it's like as soon as I select the kernel from GRUB, I get nothing till KDE starts [07:26] then you have a WEIRD laptop [07:26] intelikey: well it dosn't respond.. but does show up to syn pings.. so its not really a problem [07:26] i know [07:26] ATI chipset [07:26] so there no way that i can run videos right now on the internet? [07:26] it worked fine on 6ish [07:26] but on 7ish, it's crap [07:26] you need to install the ati drivers, google it [07:26] already done [07:27] xptical what you are describing is kernel frame buffering not working. boot with nosplash and you should have access to the consoles [07:27] kk [07:28] rebooting with nosplash. BRB [07:28] * intelikey guesses that it's an ati onboard vidio and a 64bit lappy... [07:29] the kernel is not the correct place for the vidio driver. fbcon is a bad idea gone to seed. [07:30] fbcon has its place.. just not on PC :-P [07:31] where do you need a gui kernel ? [07:31] * Daisuke_Ido wonders how long it'll be before there's a micropolis version in the repos [07:33] thanks all. [07:33] i'm in the login manager now. where can I switch to KDE4?

Just make sure wpasupplicant is installed and start knetworkmanager from the Internet menu. [08:00] but.....that isnt true [08:00] you mean isn't always true, it probably was with the authers setup. [08:01] yea...well not true for me [08:01] !wpa [08:01] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:01] hmm.... [08:01] tried refreshing the deskop HOW? [08:01] f5? [08:01] xtypical: I'm going to start at the most basic level and work up, please don't be offended. when you click and drag the folder and drop it in another one, does it give you the option to "move" here? [08:01] wwonder why there isnt more info on this [08:01] sorry, right click on desktop [08:02] midway down list [08:02] i can literally drag one folder over another and the only thing I get is two folders in the same place [08:02] KDE4 BTW [08:02] Kernel because it's totally user supported and not enough proficient users contributing ? [08:02] hi all [08:03] well...i mean..ubuntu has awesome docs.....figured someone would have. [08:03] what is the easiest way of settting up a kde4 dev envrionment? [08:03] Hmmm...Not sure if I have the same version as you. I can't move my wallpaper off center at all [08:03] seems they have covered just about everything else [08:03] There is a "kde-devel' package for kde3 [08:03] are there similary packages for kde4? [08:03] Kernel i don't have any wireless anything. so i can't help in that area. prehaps most of the wiki writers are in the same boat... [08:04] well, i can't move mine back [08:04] very strange [08:04] Yeah...Still fidgiting with it [08:04] Kernel that's one place you could use your help. you have the equipment. as soon as you figure out what needs to be done you can write a wiki to help others. [08:05] you could/we could/they could/ [08:05] Or make editions to the current wiki page [08:05] hehe.....ive tried doing stuff like that before . but i tend to muck it.

[08:16] jabber is suppose to work with pidgin/gaim [08:16] !version [08:16] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [08:18] I'm on Jabber [08:19] so few people use it [08:19] have you managed to make a file transfer work? [08:19] No, I haven't tried that [08:20] i'm trying to get it working with a friend of mine and we're failing. [08:20] it's weird. [08:25] funny thing about jabber. the chat rooms are so unsocial [08:27] speak of the devil. I'm migrating my jabberd2 server to openfire (if I can migrate the data properly) [08:29] calcmandan: possibly the good old NAT problem tripping you up? my file transfer works if I setup a forwarded port from my firwall first [08:29] good point. i tried that. [08:29] maybe my port is off. [08:29] i don't know how to set that up samme. [08:29] sammy [08:30] I don't even know how to get into the Jabber chat rooms [08:30] calcmandan: using kopete? [08:30] yes [08:30] yes. tried kopete, [08:30] gaim [08:30] gabber [08:30] it has to be on my wireless router. [08:30] blocking the port. [08:30] kopete works for me when I set up a port on my firewall to be forwarded and specify my external IP [08:31] that's what I'm guessing, that's usually the culprit when it comes to file xfer problems [08:32] pirate_chef: jabber servers don't necessarily have chat rooms. some do, some don't. the multi-user chat is usually an addon that administrators can choose. [08:34] so when you set up port forwarding, you had to specify a public address right? === aaron_ is now known as seishinbyou [08:39] calcmandan: in kopete? yeah, external address and forwarded port [08:39] it only allows me to specify the last octet [08:39] q. what is the package name for the thing with tamper with base autocompletion to make it adapting for the command option [08:42] hi all [08:43] hi a_h_jamali [08:43] does kubuntu 7.10 (kde4) has torrent ?

[08:58] sammy: so i can file transfer via jabber. === jesse is now known as Obsoletist [09:07] calcmandan: the ip address of the machine you want the traffic forwarded to, the IP address of the machine with kopete running [09:08] calcmandan: 'server' is just used because normally you would forward ports to a running server. [09:08] that's what i thought [09:08] i specified a random port [09:08] on kopete, i specified my router's ip address. [09:09] bingo. make sure the ports match, then give it a whirl. of course, if the other end isn't set up correctly, it still wont work :) [09:09] right. [09:10] do i want to specify my router's internal ip or external? [09:12] external i would guess calcmandan [09:13] be carefull your external ip address change over time [09:13] yeah [09:15] THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU [09:15] it works! [09:19] hello [09:22] hi omistaja [09:27] mine first time using IRC in kubuntu and unix world generally and it seems to work well [09:29] omistaja: congratulations, and welcome :) [09:29] thx [09:31] omistaja: your username got me wondering. Did you get a computer with Kubuntu pre-installed? [09:33] is it worth the effort to install kde 4 ? [09:33] no its finnish and I created it [09:34] lol [09:34] nuxil: it's not much effort, really. If you like reporting bugs or helping out with kde4, sure [09:34] omistaja: I asked because I'm Finnish too :) [09:34] how buggy is it? [09:34] ok [09:35] nuxil: no opion on that yet, I have no plans using it as my primary environment === ksoviet is now known as kgenjix [09:35] can i have both installed ? [09:35] nuxil: see topic [09:36] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [09:36] ok [09:47] how upgrade amarok to play mp3 files ? [09:47] !mp3 [09:47] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [09:48] m477: Check those links [09:49] m477: mp3 is a patented format, so it cannot be distributed enabled by default, thus the extra steps needed [09:49] so what i need to do ? [09:50] thats links doesnt really help me [09:51] did you look at the link? [09:51] what are you talking about [09:52] yes [09:52] i cant open mp3 in amarok [09:52] no you didnt [09:53] its all in that link' [09:53] for sure [09:53] not really~~ [09:54] Hello. Is there anyone who is familiar with the kubuntu packaging of KDE 4? [09:54] m477, who do you think you are fooling ? its not us. go read that link from top to bottom [09:54] Hi, when i took a "Full Upgrade" in Adept (from feisty to gutsy), the installation process hanged. Now when i restart Adept Manager its stating that another process is using the package system. I've closed all apps, so what can i do about this? [09:55] time to test kde4 :) [09:55] Can i do a dist upgrade via aptitude? And not via Adept Manager ? [09:55] persen__: yes [09:55] m477: sudo apt-get install libmad0 libxine-extracodecs [09:55] try that [09:56] awag22: it cant find package libmad0 [09:56] luca_b, aptitude dist-upgrade ? Is that the command ? So easy? nothing more to it? [09:57] persen__: yes [09:57] *test* [09:57] persen__: better, *sudo* aptitude dist-upgrade [09:57] m477: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-99259e1841e1e1262f4f71e0c72d5a51b3fb69e9 should help you. [09:58] m477: it's step by step, let me know if you get stuck on it, just use Adept instad of Synaptic :) [09:59] it says that /var/lib/dpkg/lock is used by another process.. Is there some way i can check what process this is ? See what process might hold that resources [09:59] m477: it'll not only let you play mp3s, but also lot of other closed license stuff you might want to play [09:59] m477: http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php#mp3s [09:59] persen__: try doing ps aux | grep adept to see if adept is still running even if you have closed the window [09:59] Lynoure: mate link which you give me is to ubuntu i got kubuntu it looks bit difrent [10:00] m477: that's why I said use Adept [10:01] m477: but, yeah, the link parkin gave you is exclusively for kubuntu :) [10:04] Heya, I try to set my resolution in xorg.conf (because I can't for the life of me get it to work through the GUI). When I start X with xinit, I get the desired resolution (1152*864), but if I start with startx, it reverts to 1024*768. Any ideas why that may be the case? [10:07] Or am I better of asking that in the #ubuntu channel instead? [10:08] Alatius: Both without special command line options? [10:08] Does anybody know is there any else way to change my kubuntu (64 bit) to 32 bit version than formatting my harddisk [10:08] hi there [10:08] I'm going to install kde4 [10:08] Without any special options, yes. [10:09] a brave move [10:09] hehe [10:09] :-) [10:09] Freku: they can exist side by side almost amicably [10:09] I'm wondering if the next kubuntu upgrade will be fine if kde4 is installed [10:09] almost ? [10:09] gourdin: it will be one of the options, yes [10:09] stdin: ping [10:10] ok [10:10] hmmm [10:10] I'm going to install it so :) [10:10] Freku: Installing kde4.0 changed what programs my 3.5.8 konqueror wanted to launch, but not hard to fix [10:11] Lynoure: kde4 use ~/.kde4 and not ~/.kde ? [10:11] well, i'm a total newbie and not risking my running kde with a .0 version [10:11] =) [10:11] i wont be able to fix problems [10:11] it seems like there is not enough support for 64 bit version yet [10:11] :-) [10:11] gourdin: it's hardcoded to use .kde4 [10:11] so no trouble [10:11] Lynoure: are you using kde4 ? [10:11] but I'd like to know if someone here has installed it already [10:11] luca_b: cool [10:11] gourdin: I am at the moment [10:12] but I have a uqestion because I may have found a packaging bug [10:12] luca_b: and ? [10:12] ho [10:12] gourdin: not as primary desktop, no [10:12] I'm installing it [10:12] gourdin: it works, of course it will eat your children [10:12] gourdin: I need kdepim too much [10:12] still some rough edges [10:12] haha [10:12] Lynoure: I run kmail from KDE3 here [10:12] Lynoure: you can use kdepim3 in kde4 ? [10:12] only I think I have found aproblem in packaging I think [10:13] gourdin: I suppose, but, no, still want kde3 as my normal space. YMMV. [10:13] but I need to compare my experience with someone who has it already [10:13] I mean who is already using kde4 [10:13] Lynoure: =)) [10:13] I installed it and it looked ok, I wasn't able to customize the taskbar to my liking though, so I'm going to use 3.5.8 until a better release of 4 is out [10:13] it also crashed on me once after install [10:13] awag22: :/ [10:13] awag22: you can't customize it at the moment, future versions will be able to [10:13] gourdin: I prefer to let other users bleed on the bleeding edge, and get on 4.1 or so, when it is nice and solid :) [10:14] we can't customize the taskbar ? [10:14] hehe [10:14] Lynoure: like me :) [10:14] hmmmm [10:14] gourdin: well you can add applets [10:14] gourdin: but not resize it [10:14] Is everybody lucky with KDE 4 install on Gutsy? Not me :) [10:14] So I just occasionally take a looksee at it. (as I should help out with porting of some apps) [10:15] Algyz: what's the problem ? [10:15] Can someone who is using KDE3 run a kde4 app for me and test something? [10:15] sure [10:15] luca_b: Which kde4 app? [10:15] is it going to crash my X server or anything? [10:15] Lynoure: run dolphin-kde4 and see iwhat you can create by right clicking and selecting "New..." (like for a folder or something) [10:15] install in progress ... @#^]@#~[ [10:15] luca_b: tell me first what you get? [10:16] Lynoure: I don't get anything because the plugins aren't loaded [10:16] * Lynoure is a bit cautious, most of the time :) [10:16] I mean I can't create anything within dolphin [10:16] luca_b: i just get a "link to device" thing, and then nothing [10:16] awag22: excellent, then it's a packaging bug [10:17] should I report it? [10:17] of course ! [10:17] =) [10:17] launchpad up and running [10:17] ok, restarting kde ]@{ [10:17] it *is* a packaging bug as my self-compiled KDE does not exhibit this behavior [10:18] I feel like kde 3 stuff runs a lot smoother for me [10:18] probably because my machine sucks [10:18] hi, can someone help me set up MIDI? [10:21] wow [10:21] nice effect on icons on the desktop [10:21] font are big [10:21] how can I activate "beryl thing" ? [10:22] coposite ?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [10:22] gourdin: right click on a window [10:22] and select window behavior or something like that [10:23] luca_b: I got it :) [10:23] thx [10:23] decktop effect [10:23] =) [10:24] gourdin: which card do you have? [10:24] if it's NVIDIA you have to use 169.07 or newer as driver (not in the repositories) and export a variable to work around bugs in the driver itself [10:25] hello [10:25] would anybody help me? [10:25] whats up? [10:25] i'm in the middle of kubuntu live install [10:25] and the partitioner won't format [10:25] i can't tick the checkbox format [10:26] hmm [10:26] nor does it happen automatically when i select the root partioin [10:26] when i click next [10:26] it sys it must be formatted [10:26] but it won't let you click format? [10:26] no [10:26] strange [10:27] hmm [10:27] ok [10:27] tried again after trying 10 times [10:27] now it works [10:27] lol [10:27] i think you can thank me for that [10:27] that's linux for ya [10:27] ;) [10:27] works like old car :D [10:27] thanks, anyway [10:27] hehe [10:27] at least starting from second or third time :D [10:28] ok [10:28] bye [10:28] later [10:28] one more thing [10:29] does kubuntu have a lot of bugs? [10:30] ubuntu_: Completely bug-free software is extremely rare. I have been using Kubuntu for a few releases and haven't seen any major problems. [10:30] he quited [10:30] tach [10:30] Yeah [10:31] try a knoppix livecd and format hd [10:32] so are many of you can't install kde 4? [10:33] or it's only me? [10:35] how do i check my dist version? Think i've upgraded to gutsy now, but how can i check it? [10:35] persen__: lsb_release -a [10:35] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4libs/+bug/182501 for anyone who has problems creating new directories in dolphin KDE4 and similar [10:36] why did kde ppl rush with releasing kde4 ? its way to buggy, it shouldnt have been released for a couple of months or more.

[11:29] :( [11:30] i feel like i discovered a new species [11:30] hehe [11:30] could it be that the install disk wasnt burned properly? [11:31] If that's the only problem you are seeing, then I doubt it's a bad burn [11:31] k [11:32] the funny thing is, i get the error at every install, but sometimes the program is still properly installed [11:33] wow i got a new one, an error downloading updates when i click 'fetch updates' [11:35] does the kde4 live cd of kubuntu have support for compositing and desktop effects? the opensuse kde-four-live cd does not [11:35] rohan: not by default [11:36] does the current kubuntu 7.10 iso come with kde4 [11:36] awill97: no [11:36] ok thanks. i must get it [11:36] you can do noproblem upgrade to kde4 [11:37] Hobbsee: meaning? i need to install it to disk first/ [11:37] and can i use the kde4 kubuntu live cd to install it to HD ? [11:37] rohan: meaning you need to enable it in system settings, appearance, advanced, iirc [11:37] * Hobbsee hasn't seen the live cd [11:37] Hobbsee: yes, but it does have XDamage and those right? [11:38] has live cd much improved over rc2? [11:38] rohan: unsure [11:38] it would have [11:38] i dont think kde4 is usuable now [11:38] opensuse livecd says XComposite and XDamage are not available [11:38] HS^: it is usable, but barely just, depending on your needs [11:38] i just play around [11:38] i use kde4, but i havent new kmail [11:39] and kopete have problems to connect gadugadu and jabber [11:39] i mean compared to winXPsp2 i dont think kde4 is usuable.... its like going back to darkages. ugly too. kde 3.5 came close to XP though [11:40] kde 4 is usable, but need some time to configure [11:40] P3symista: I'm in the same boat as you [11:40] yes maybe distributions can put a decent style on it [11:40] i think theres no one that doesnt hate the big black taskbar [11:40] HS^: planned of Kubuntu [11:40] HS^: I don't hate it [11:41] ok cool. but kubuntu release is a half year away [11:41] right [11:41] HS^: Besides, Plasma is just 18 months old [11:41] HS^: plenty of time :) [11:41] kicker and kdesktop were 7 years old, plenty of time to get stable [11:41] yes i know it will improve with time [11:42] this relase of kde4 should be RC3 [11:42] why [11:42] even if plasma is 18 month old...... couldnt they have styled it better? [11:42] because plasma isnt completed [11:42] is styling really difficult [11:42] Plasma isn't finished yet [11:42] not compatible witch older apps [11:42] To all: you can't get app developers to work unless you release [11:42] i know [11:42] HS^: IT's jsut a SVG, actually, very themable [11:43] there's just no UI yet [11:43] i cant compile kdenetwork from SVN :/ [11:43] luca_b so they just placed a black SVG? [11:43] yep [11:43] HS^: No, the artists were just way busy finishing the icon sets [11:43] but that also means that plasma doesnt follow the style rules of Qt/KDE [11:44] HS^: those would be?

[12:07] elaborate plz [12:08] in kmix in tab name [12:08] manaburn: you said you can hear the mic in the speaker, when you rub it. What program have you used for capturing the sound? [12:08] On the Command Line, you can issue the Shutdown command, will it show the shutdown message to users under X? [12:09] i can hear noise when i rub all the time [12:09] even is no recording is happening [12:09] TimS: no idea, really, you could test it, though :) [12:09] manaburn: what are you trying to record with? [12:10] i was using krec [12:10] Lynoure: I suppose I could with -K, also, is it possible to send messages to other logged in users?

[12:36] flithm: install kate-kde4 [12:36] jpatrick: is it in backports or ppa only? [12:37] flithm: it got so advance they move it out of kdebase and into kdesdk [12:37] flithm: both (should be) [12:37] jpatrick: hrmf it's not in my apt-cache [12:38] flithm: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3515/ [12:38] guys - whats the easiest way to view the contents of an iso? [12:38] preferably something which plugs into dolphin [12:38] gladier: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/iso :) [12:39] see last comment :P [12:39] hi [12:39] i prefer to either use the mouse OR use the keyboard :) not both [12:39] gladier: I don't know about the fancy gui stuff [12:40] I have a rather weird situation: I installed Knewsticker via Adept and I cannot start it now, its not in the menu and I can't also find the binaries in the file system, except for the documentation (running kubuntu 8.04-test2) [12:41] oh well .. i have a corrupted iso [12:41] i followed the instructions for installing KDE4, but when i removed the incompatible packages (apt-get remove kdelibs5 kde4base-data kde4libs-data) it removed alot of stuff, such as kdm, konqueror etc. is that as it should be? (i cant run konqueror now) [12:45] hello === josh__ is now known as Hi === Hi is now known as Josh-is-my-name [12:49] hey. how is everyone? [12:50] hey [12:50] have u tried out kde4 yet? [12:50] okay... just trying to use kate4 here, and none of my plugin selections get saved when I quit kate. which is pretty annoying [12:50] live cd or other Josh-is-my-name [12:51] i'm using kubuntu. i installed the kde4-core package and a number of kd4 applications [12:51] does kdm4 work for anyone? [12:52] hi! i have installed ubuntu on my new pc and i want to update everything now. is it possible to copy the packages from another pc which is up to date? [12:52] I'm trying kde4 in gutsy too [12:53] @ChosRat: its still quite buggy, huh? [12:53] Hatl: it would be _much_ easier to get the unupdated pc onto the net... [12:53] i have a working kde4 on gusty [12:53] yeah, a lot of things is not working well [12:53] kopete, konqueror, ... [12:53] yeah... [12:53] jussi01: but then i need to download everything again [12:54] Hatl: look into /var/cache/apt/archives [12:54] is there a channel for kde4 or sth? [12:55] !aptoncd | Hatl [12:55] ChaosRat: i copied that directory already. didnt work [12:55] Hatl: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers === mneisen is now known as mneisen|afk [12:56] !away > mneisen|afk [12:56] !away > mneisen|afk [12:56] ubotu: is there a way to use the lan? i dont want to burn a cd :) [12:56] !bot | Hatl [12:56] Hatl: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:59] Hatl: yes, you could copy them to /var/cache/apt and apt should look for them there before downloading [12:59] i have installed ubuntu on my new pc and i want to update everything now. is it possible to copy the packages from another pc which is up to date? [12:59] Hatl: most likely you can just copy the .deb files from /var/cache/apt on one machine to other. [13:00] Lynoure: that didnt work. aptitude wants to download everything again [13:00] Hatl: rsync -av /var/cache/apt/archives/ you@ipofothercomp:/home/you/somewhere [13:00] Hatl: hmmm. [13:01] jpatrick: then i have all the packages in a folder. how do i tell aptitude to use them? [13:02] Hatl: no, but you can just dpkg -i them [13:02] jpatrick: i dont want to install all of them. just the ones needed to update my new pc [13:02] Hatl: ah... [13:03] i tried to put them into /var/apt/cache/packages/partial but that didnt work [13:03] Hatl: tried with apt-get install? [13:04] Hatl: they might behave differently in this respect [13:05] Lynoure: but then i have to know which packages need an update. it would be more comfortable if i can use adept_updater :) [13:05] yes, i think apt-get would handle this situation better than aptitude [13:05] Other than adding widgets does the plasma icon in the top right actually do anything? [13:05] what else should it there for? [13:05] Hatl: no, you don't need to know. But, don't know how adept_update checks these things, so cannot help with that. [13:06] Lynoure: how can i update everything using apt-get? [13:07] Hatl: sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (but, yes, it is not the Kubuntu recommended way) [13:08] Lynoure: doesnt work :) [13:08] Lynoure: apt-get starts to download the packages [13:08] Hatl: maybe try aptitude full-upgrade [13:09] sonoftheclayr: aptitude starts to download the packages [13:10] Hatl: and you copied the whole /var/cache/apt ? [13:10] Lynoure: yes [13:10] Lynoure: no [13:10] how will kde4 and compiz mix together ? [13:10] Lynoure: just the packages [13:11] Hatl: if you feel adventurous, backup the existing /var/cache/apt, then replace it, and try again [13:11] Lynoure: ok, ill try that [13:13] Lynoure: didnt work :( [13:14] Hatl: there is probably then a solution involving setting up a local apt repository of your own, but probably not work it unless you are on dialup, and certainly not something I want to dig into now =) [13:15] Hatl: have you checked that the packages are the exact same versions as what are in the repositories? [13:15] Lynoure: i will try to set up a package proxy [13:16] Lynoure: i updated everything on my old pc. so i have the latest packages [13:17] have you actually checked the versions though? [13:17] sudo apt-get -V dist-upgrade [13:17] that'll tell you what versions it's trying to install [13:17] pick a package and check that the one you have in your cache is the same version [13:18] Hatl: http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/05/06/update-or-install-applications-on-debianubuntu-without-an-internet-connection/ looks like something you can squeeze the solution from [13:18] oh [13:18] wait [13:18] Hatl [13:18] you have all the debs, right? [13:18] put them in /home/user/debs or somewhere [13:18] then [13:18] sudo dpkg -i /home/user/debs/*.deb [13:19] it'll install all of them [13:19] and then run apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure they are the latest packages [13:19] but do the version check first [13:20] what about apt-get -f install to ensure dependencies are properly installed? [13:20] hi [13:20] sonoftheclayr: dpkg won't install if dependancies aren't met [13:21] it'll let him know and then he'll just have to update those with apt-get [13:21] i have got more packages in /var/apt/cache than i need [13:21] ist auch ein Deutscher da?

[13:22] johannes__: österreicher, aber die sprechen ja auch deutsch :) [13:22] ja ;) [13:23] Hatl: well, then do a dist-upgrade and only install the ones it's planning on installing [13:23] have you already checked that the versions are the same?

[13:32] I've not upgraded to gutsy and installed kde4, but no kde4 is displayed in my login manager. I've done everything explained here, http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [13:33] The login manager is the screen where you enter username/passwd right? [13:35] persen__: yes, and there is a little box to click that will allow you to change your session [13:36] only displays "default" and "KDE". no "KDE 4" [13:36] s/box/icon [13:36] persen__: are you sure you installed the 4.0 packages?

Isnt KDE4 1.0 out? [13:42] KDE4.0 that is. [13:42] it is [13:42] using it as we speak :) [13:43] persen__: yes, but the older release had instructions for how to make your own session script (which it appears you don't have) [13:43] k8: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97026 <-- wine doesn't run on 64bit machines without work [13:43] mmmm [13:46] whats the command for updating changes in sources.list again ? [13:46] persen__: "sudo apt-get update" [13:47] persen__: don't actually instal; thepackahes in those older tutorials though [13:47] nice, think its therefore i dont have kde4. [13:48] persen__: You may want to wait a bit, there is a packaging bug of some sort that prevents some stuff to get loaded [13:48] I've been trying to track it down but I don't know enough of KDE internals [13:48] its already on its way [13:49] persen__: you forgot to run apt-get update before fetching kde4-core === ladykiller is now known as velveteyes [13:50] Hello [13:50] hello [13:50] I installed kde4. My problem is that when I switch back to kde3, Qt4 applications remain with the kde4 look. [13:50] I mean all Qt4 apps have that Aluminium look and kde4 style buttons and elements [13:51] DarkWizzard: and you don't like that? [13:51] But only qt4 apps, not the kde ones. They have the old look [13:51] I like it but it doesn't really fit into my old look [13:51] I love it in kde4, but I would like to switch back in kde3 [13:52] mmmm i hate to say it but kde 4 feels like a gnome release [13:52] DarkWizzard: yeah, that has to do with certain kdelibs stuff I think. Not sure how to get around that since i'm really even surehow it works. [13:53] me neighter [13:53] then kde4 it will remain [13:53] :) [13:53] dbmoodb: don't let the incompleteness of plasma fool you, take a look at konqueror. [13:53] i know [13:53] konq is good [13:53] dolphin is the gnome route [13:53] dbmoodb: then what do you mean? [13:54] wait yuck [13:54] konq is worse than i thought now [13:54] bye bye complexity [13:54] Gwenview always crashes for me :) [13:54] under kde4 [13:54] removal of features etc [13:54] konq removed features? like what. [13:54] dbmoodb: don't be sad about it, they will add it back soon [13:54] really ? [13:54] Like galery generation [13:54] :) [13:54] I loved that feature [13:55] mmm they need to fix the kmenu [13:55] It made thumbnails for my images when I needed web galleries [13:55] no fecking clicking to go places, hovering is enough [13:55] dbmoodb: yeah... they will add back any features. [13:55] I miss my image previews in konqueror :) [13:55] and on my desktop [13:55] i thought this was a released version 4.0 [13:55] DarkWizzard: eh? I can preview images in konqueror [13:56] by default ? [13:56] dbmoodb: it is.... but that doesn't mean its all feature complete or has even attaned feature parity [13:56] so when do i expect that [13:56] dbmoodb: maybe 4.1? [13:57] k [13:57] nosrednaekim: it works for me in konqueror-kde4 on kde3 [13:57] but not in kde4 [13:57] strange [13:57] and not on the desktop [13:57] and they also load slow [13:57] yeah.... not on the desktop yet. [13:58] yeah... I can't see the pics in konq on kde4 either, odd [13:58] I also dislike the idea of icons being plasmoids [13:58] They have that semi transparent frame [13:59] DarkWizzard: they may be able to get rid of that later. But the whole point of plasma is steering away from the "desktop as a filemanager" [13:59] hi, will kde4 be available through standard repositories for gutsy? [13:59] cj_: not standard, but the is a PPA for it, and it may be in backports by now [13:59] nosrednaekim: yeah but right now it kind of feels like superkaramba on steroids [13:59] so kde 3 will always be default for gutsy? [14:00] for gutsy I think so [14:00] cj_: yes [14:00] DarkWizzard: yup... thats what it is :) [14:01] nosrednaekim: it's already in backports [14:01] ok, thanks [14:01] are the kde4 packages mentioned in the topic stable? when i tried rc2 it seemed pretty buggy [14:01] cj_: yeah they crash a lot less [14:02] cj_: they better than rc2, but not really "production quality" yet [14:02] is anyone in KDE 4 at the moment? [14:02] I guess a final release doesn't mean polished, just more stable? [14:02] luca_b: yes [14:02] I am [14:02] ScottG: in this case, its kinda a "tech preview" [14:02] nosrednaekim: third test for bug 182501: can you see if you can create a folder in dolphin? [14:02] It's the first release [14:02] cj_: there have been huge strides between rc2 and final, but its still a few minutes short of golden brown [14:03] luca_b: I can not... that was annoying me yesterday [14:03] nosrednaekim: as I said, bug 182501: it's a packaging bug [14:03] I can.. [14:03] ScottG: kubuntu packages or self-made? [14:03] kubuntu [14:03] I'm trying to install at the minute, using the debootstrap method. my problem is i have horribly slow internet at the minute, so item like ubuntu-standard and so on will take me hours to download. would the alt cd, or the dvd contain most of the packages i need to install the system. it only occured to me this mrning that the live cd doesn't have many debs on it [14:04] ScottG: Hmm... no leftover from old packages? [14:04] I wish I knew more how to debug it [14:04] ok guys [14:04] thanks and bye [14:04] no.. I removed old packages before installing final.. [14:04] ccoffey: no, they don't have very many debs. [14:04] I created a new folder without issue :) [14:04] in dolphin [14:04] ScottG: test #2 - can you install kopete-kde4 and just try creating an account? it doesn't matter which, [14:05] ScottG: by right clicking? [14:05] ok [14:05] nosrednaekim: AFAIK either plugins aren't loaded or something is failing on the way [14:05] yes, I right clicked.. is there another way you'd like? [14:06] no.... thats fine(for you ;p) [14:06] take a look at this poll http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/23304 [14:06] ScottG: can you put on pastebin your kde4 packages installed? [14:06] nosrednaekim: i don't see ubuntu-standard on the dvd (http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu-cdimage/kubuntu/releases/7.10/release/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.list/), but as it's a meta package, can i assume everything it's made up of, is on the dvd? just if you know of hand, i'll check it now myself [14:07] ccoffey: I don't really know what is on the DVD [14:07] okie dokie [14:07] ok.. in Kopete I just created and connected an AIM account successfully [14:07] nosrednaekim: cheers [14:07] ccoffey: but I do think the alternatecd has alot of packages. since you can upgrade that way [14:08] nosrednaekim: aye, looking through an older alt one i have here. I'll grab the cd and dvd in work tomorrow [14:08] nosrednaekim: polls on the Internet haven't really a great statistical value [14:08] luca_b: I know ;) [14:08] how exactly would I go about putting my kde4 installs packages into the pastebin for you? I installed a bunch of random stuff.. by far not a "by the book" install :) [14:09] ScottG: to see what's the difference between the lucky one (you) and us (nosrednaekim and me) wrt that issue [14:09] I know why, but how was the question :P [14:10] ScottG: well, you could do "dpkg -l | grep "4.0" " [14:11] hi, if i uncheck "show icons on desktop" in the desktop config thing, my kde desktop disappears altogether and a gnome desktop apears (ubuntu gusty, kde 3.5.8) today is the first time this has happened, anyone know what's up? [14:12] ScottG: actually grepping for "gutsy1" gives better results" [14:12] hexdude: are you using compiz? [14:12] no [14:13] hexdude: 0.o wow.... [14:13] Has anyone else had issues with the Kmenu not launching programs that require root? It keeps saying the password is incorrect, which it isn't. [14:13] in KDE4** [14:13] MilitantPotato: yeah, its a known bug afaik [14:13] MilitantPotato: yes... its a problem with kdesu, which asks for the root passowrd, of which there is none [14:14] Ok cool, yesterday no-one had the issue that mentioned it when I asked [14:14] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51765/ [14:14] Any work-arounds? [14:14] MilitantPotato: any admin program just run from krunner with "kdesudo appname" [14:14] nosrednaekim: well i dont think so, someone else asked me that, and told me to try kwin --replace, and nothing changed [14:14] hey any idea how to configure adept so it can also install i386 packages on a 64bit platform? [14:14] nosrednaekim: ok, I'll continue doing that [14:15] hexdude: ok. well, I have never heard of this bug and i've been hanging around here for a while. very weird :) [14:16] hehe, well guess my desktop icons are here to stay, at least for a while, it might go away with some future update (im pretty sure it appeared because of some updates yesterday, i cant think of anything else significant ive done since it was working) === ubuntu_ is now known as Hugis [14:18] hexdude: ok... sorry for the inconvenience [14:18] hexdude: this is a very common bug with compiz however. [14:19] ScottG: hmm i'm not seeing anything majorly different between our installs [14:19] you just have more games ;-) [14:19] hmmm, well ill see if i am actually running that or something, im a noob so i could have put it on one day without knowing :) [14:19] I wish I had some insight but I really don't [14:20] hexdude: if kwin --replace doesn't fix it, you aren't. [14:20] ah, ok thanks [14:20] ScottG: hmm you have extragear -plasma, but I don't think that would affect anything [14:20] Yea that replaces the current window manager with Kwin [14:21] nosrednaekim: I have extragear-plasma too [14:21] AH! [14:21] I kinda went crazy installing kde4 packages indiscriminately.. [14:21] luca_b: do you have the package "kde4" installed? [14:21] whenever I run konsole from alt+f2 i get "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/konsole-kde4'." [14:22] it still loads a shell though... [14:22] nosrednaekim: no, just the -core [14:22] MilitantPotato: I've seen this too. [14:22] MilitantPotato: that's due to the multithreading in krunner I think [14:22] luca_b: me too :) but ScottG has it installed.. [14:22] it's just a meta package.. [14:22] luca_b: it seems todepend on all kde4 packages [14:23] SSJ_GZ: totally OT but I forgot to thank you properly earlier (you were one of the ones who sent me the umeet IRC logs) [14:23] so there is a package in there that we are missing [14:23] luca_b: np - I saw your "Thanks!" in the Plasma FAQ :) [14:23] nosrednaekim: We need to ask a KDE guru about plugin loading, at least how to track it [14:24] that may be the problem. [14:24] nosrednaekim: or better, ask a kubuntu packager about their adjustments [14:25] Hello. Can somebody please help me with my Firefox/flash player issue? [14:25] !flash [14:25] 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 [14:25] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [14:25] vamsi: whats the problem' [14:26] flash player is installed okay but flash videos are extremely slow === wiktoria is now known as wiktoria_ [14:26] luca_b: i'll ask stidn when he gets back around. [14:26] When I try to run KlamAV with peazip as the program to handle archives it gives an error saying -P is no longer a valid option, where does KlamAV store command lines? [14:27] nosrednaekim: thanks, and if something comes up, can someone post it to the bug? Since I have to go away soon I'll get back to it tomorrow or later today [14:27] nosrednaekim: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51766/ [14:27] luca_b: which bug again? [14:27] luca_b: and is it launchpad? [14:27] nosrednaekim: yes, LP [14:27] nosrednaekim: I'll post itin a second [14:27] nosrednaekim: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4libs/+bug/182501 [14:28] luca_b: great.. ok [14:28] hi [14:29] vamsi: I see, that hardware should be able to play flash. the video itself is downloading fine I suppose? [14:29] installed vmware6 on Feisty, machine has 2.2GHz cpu and a gig of RAM. restoring an XP vm takes about 4-5 minutes with rest of the system idling. [14:29] nosrednaekim: yes. video downloads okay. and .avi .mp4 and other videos play fine in kaffeine [14:30] same machine but on slackware with vmware5: restore in about 40 sec. [14:30] so - what's going on here? [14:30] DexterF: two things could be ;) why don't you try vmware5 in kubuntu? [14:30] nosrednaekim: may be it is a firefox issue? firefox takes up like about 60% of my CPU when i play, say, youtube videos [14:31] vamsi: did you try playing them in konqueror? [14:31] nosrednaekim: i could not get konqueror to play flash. may be some flash plugin issue there [14:31] nosrednaekim: kernel's too new for 5 I think. truth is tho I don' t really wanna mess with the computer's setup. I'd rather try and install 6 on slack. what's the other thing? [14:31] nosrednaekim: i have the nsplugin installed. inspite of that flash does not work in konqueror [14:32] DexterF: either the distro or vmware [14:33] vamsi: did you try googleing foryour problem? [14:34] vamsi: what video card? [14:34] nosrednaekim: yes. mostly i get flash reinstallation solutions [14:34] nosrednaekim: intel 82810e on board graphics card [14:34] nosrednaekim: well, I'd pretty much rule out vmware. hence I came here... [14:34] vamsi: is compiz running by chance? [14:35] nosrednaekim: never tried running compiz or beryl or any of that funky stuff as i have only 384mb RAM [14:35] sorry, those messages were for MilitantPotato [14:36] vamsi: I get the same from compiz ruinning, was just a shot in the dark [14:36] DexterF: ok, well, I stay away from vmware and all their stupid keys, etc.so I don't know. [14:36] MilitantPotato: hmm. do you have the same graphics card? [14:36] No, ATI, which is the source of my problems :( [14:36] Have you enabled restricted drivers for your card? [14:37] MilitantPotato: sorry to hear that. [14:37] Yea, you're telling me. [14:38] MilitantPotato: yes. no restricted drivers required for my hardware. that is what the computer says [14:38] Hey Guys, I started running Kubuntu (dapper) on an old iMac about 4 months ago... Had just got it running and had a house fire 2 months ago. Shut down till today... but it won't go back online. Machine was disconnected and hard drive pulled for a while. Ideas where I might look to get it to reconnect? [14:39] The drive won't read or it won't connect to the net? [14:39] vamsi: di you have the gnash flash player installed? [14:39] nosrednaekim: do not know. let me check [14:39] it reads fine...but won't connect to the net [14:40] nosrednaekim: no. gnash player is not installed [14:40] vamsi: err. [14:40] nosrednaekim: do you think i should install gnash player? \ [14:40] vamsi: no. [14:41] nosrednaekim: "stupid keys"...? [14:41] Hmmmm... tried to do a time adjustment and it says that 'Connection with su failed." [14:41] DexterF: activation keys [14:42] nosrednaekim: how do i get flash working in konqueror? [14:42] nosrednaekim: if flash works fine in konqueror then it must be an issue with firefox [14:44] what is the difference between flashplugin-nonfree and libflash-mozplugin? [14:44] nosrednaekim: ah, ok. well, I'd prefer an alternative, too. but the only available is VBox, and that failed miserably on many occasions during testing. hence... [14:45] I've no idea how I installed flash but it works in konq and firefox [14:45] go figure. [14:46] vamsi: go into configure konqueror->plugins and enable the flash plugin [14:47] c'est la : [14:47] aMSN Installer for Tcl/Tk 8.5 [14:47] oops [14:48] nosrednaekim: libflashplayer.so is already enabled. [14:49] raton: are you looking for aMSN? [14:49] vamsi: oh <_< [14:50] nosrednaekim: anything wrong? [14:51] vamsi: have you tried installing flash via firefox and not from the repos? [14:51] That's how I went about it now that I recall [14:51] vamsi: well... not for me... but I don't know how its not working [14:51] yeah.. try MilitantPotato's idea. uninstall flash and do that [14:52] MilitantPotato: doing it now [14:54] help with dhcp [14:55] hi all [14:55] Drag, in what way? Do you need to know where to configure your net?

[15:16] MilitantPotato: I do not know if there are enough of us to count. :-( [15:16] DexterF: vesa [15:16] RadiantFire: Ah, OK - that's launched via Konqueror, so I suspect it is hard-coded :/ [15:16] bummer [15:16] tekteen: true, because everyone gets nvidia due to the driver mess. [15:16] MilitantPotato: lets hope for the best. still will be long before he have feature complete 2D/3D in radeonhd. plus, a lot of people will have to upgrade. [15:16] DexterF: I tried following this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, but it doesn't seem to be supported/work. [15:16] Tallen: have you tried the restricted drivers manager [15:17] RadiantFire: Might not be, though - try killing and konqueror processes and re-launching with the (IIRC) --no-crash-handler flag [15:17] Tallen: you could build the drivers from ATI's website [15:17] Can anyone help me setup kmail-pocket pc sync? [15:17] Tallen: not sure if it supports that new of a card though, I'll check. [15:17] Tallen: you could try the radeonhd driver, but that only gives 2D, no vid accel, no 3D. so not much better than vesa at all. [15:17] I've install synce-kde [15:17] tekteen: yes. It reports "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers". [15:17] RadiantFire: --nocrashhandler [15:17] and synckonnector [15:18] Tallen: I suggest you give up. sorry :-( [15:18] Tallen: 2d accel. and 3d only via fglrx on this card right now [15:18] nope, oh well [15:18] tekteen: never give up...

Now I've reloaded them and can't find either. Where are they? [16:56] it's just freezes /////most likely if I'm watching streaming videos [16:56] on youtube or whatever [16:56] I've been trying to fix it for a while now [16:57] bazhang: i cant rely on my burner (even tho its new), because most of cd/dvd's dont get to finish [16:57] everytime It happens, I kill artsd [16:57] lovre: k3b works flawlessly for me--that would be one variable to investigate--what speed are you burning at, do you have it do a file check afterwards and a few others as well [16:57] and I don't know how to restart it [16:57] lewix my firefox freezes often when im on youtube [16:57] have to terminate and restart it [16:57] jussi01: I need cloned view... [16:58] parkin, me too...and I heard tha on linux we don't need to restart [16:58] but that's all I keep on doing [16:58] bazhang: burn speed is set to Auto, no filechecking afterwards [16:58] and it's annoying [16:58] bazhang: it just says "Error" and thats it, i trow it away [16:58] bazhang: sometimes it burns, but most times no [16:59] bazhang: should i set the speed by hand, instead of auto? [16:59] lovre: data, audio cd iso files what are you burning, and setting the speed lower and checking the difference might help--are these cd-r dvd-r or the -rw or +r? [17:00] bazhang: i just realized i cant set the speed manually, it has only one option, and that is Auto [17:00] I'm trying to mount an .iso file, I *think* it's a DVD. sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 (or udf) should work right? [17:00] im burnin simple data [17:00] Before my Kubuntu box crashed I used to use Samba and NFS to look at my network. Now I've reloaded them and can't find either. Where are they? [17:00] lovre: that is odd--dvd-r/cd-r? [17:01] jussi01: The thing is that I have clone view working at home; but at school it doesn't work on the projectors. I can't fathom why this would be, and I can't exactly test it out until tomorrow, presentation day... [17:01] dvd+r [17:01] bazhang: 16x certified [17:01] eml: "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mount/point -o loop" is just enough both for dvd image and regular cd image.. [17:01] bazhang: ok, i got the menu for speed working, imma try with 4x now [17:02] brb [17:02] lovre: hmm I use dvd-r with out any problems--cannot remember the last fail I had see if you can get lower speed as another workaround [17:02] bazhang: brb with results of low speed burning... [17:02] lovre: okay [17:02] Lindemann, Yeah I thought so too, but it tells me to specify filesystem type. I tried both -t iso9660 and -t udf but none of them works.

[17:43] no [17:43] Then I can't [17:43] cause /usr/local is only writable by root [17:43] http://mathewkeeton.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pics/snapshot1.png [17:43] need a fix for that lol [17:43] is kde4 out yet? [17:43] you can run it as your user [17:43] you just can't install it as the user [17:43] matyk: did you click the admin mode button? [17:43] I need something that can be written by all users and can be accessed just the same [17:44] lovre: yes, its not complete though, as is to be expected [17:44] draik: well you could make the install dir writable by everyone [17:44] but really, then the program is broken [17:44] the program should run from /usr/local [17:44] MilitantPotato: how do i install it? [17:44] but should write to each user's home directory [17:44] MilitantPotato: or upgrade to it [17:44] !kde4 | lovre [17:44] lovre: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [17:45] lovre: I'd try the live CD first, it's pretty lacking in features and stability [17:45] I guess I will install it separately on each profile [17:45] draik: i think you misunderstand the problem [17:46] MilitantPotato: can i easily upgrade from adept? [17:46] draik: just install it as root once [17:46] and then each user will be able to use it [17:46] MilitantPotato: or do i need to do another inallation [17:46] muesli: Thanks. That's what I needed. [17:46] draik: that's what we're trying to say since 10 minues ;-) [17:46] lovre: yea, follow those links ubotu put out [17:46] lovre: it does some annoying things to KDE3.5 for me though [17:47] MilitantPotato: im downloading live cd. [17:47] MilitantPotato: if i install kde4 over kde3.5, and if i install kde4 on clean partition, will there be any differences between those two? [17:48] muesli: As I just did it through root, it automatically suggested /usr/local/games/uplink [17:48] yeah sounds fine [17:48] lovre: no, not really. you actually don't install it over kde 3.5, you install it parallely [17:48] and then you can choose when logging in [17:49] hello [17:49] muesli: so, if i want kde4, i have to make a fresh install and configure everything again, and install all my software again...? [17:49] no? [17:49] i installed asp.net 2.0. When i want open some pages, it starting donwload. How can i solve ? can anyone help me http://turkishzen.com/deneme/yonetim/login_pass.asp it is page. [17:49] you install it parallely as mentioned [17:49] can anyone give me some advice on how to get some nice graphic effects for kd4 [17:50] "Could not initialize SDL Video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual." What does this mean? [17:50] !kde4 > reaperdragon [17:50] draik: maybe sdl library is not installed? [17:50] sounds more like opengl ain't available to me [17:51] but i could be wrong there [17:51] dunno [17:52] muesli: im not sure what you mean parralely? you mean so i can choose which to use when loging in? [17:52] lovre: yes === logico is now known as Logico_h [17:52] hello everyone [17:52] muesli: what about new software versions, if any come with kde4 [17:53] the same [17:53] you can choose which one to run [17:53] you get both versions in the menu [17:53] topic? [17:53] so you can run konqueror4 in kde3 and vice versa, konqueror3 in kde4 [17:53] muesli: i see. And how much disc space does it require? [17:54] kd4 isn't that great yet to be honest [17:54] let it update itself [17:54] and let more users use it [17:54] then you will see alot of great things happen on it [17:54] it just recently came out [17:54] what do you think, when will it be complete, bugwise? [17:54] Escriba el texto aquí....haber si alguien me orienta es compatible tener los dos sistemas operativos , es decir windows xp y ubuntu [17:55] well right now just a few bugs [17:55] nothing bad [17:55] minor? [17:55] lovre: as a normal user you might want to wait till 4.1 probably [17:55] nothing that will break you heart [17:55] muesli: i see.. [17:55] Annoying but minor lovre here [17:55] !es [17:55] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [17:55] i enjoy it [17:55] alguien que hable español?? [17:55] I can't launch anything that requires root from the Kmenu, very few widgets/applets, but otherwise it's decent [17:56] does it behave better with compiz? cuz i have some bugs with compiz&kde3.5 [17:56] it basically comes with kwin4 [17:56] I really like the new dolphin, even though they nerfed konq [17:56] which i see superior to any compiz / beryl [17:56] It seems like they made konq for browsing, and dolphin for local files [17:56] lovre: Would you know which SDL library I need? Seems that I have quite a few installed, but not the -devs [17:56] where can i check kwin4, i have never heard of it [17:56] well [17:56] you will run it when installing kde4 [17:56] it's the default window manager [17:57] draik: you dont need the devs to run [17:57] just like kwin3 used to be for kde3 [17:57] i see [17:57] lovre: just go to the system settings, desktop [17:57] lovre: Right. I have the others installed, not -devs [17:57] i prefer compiz over the included desktop effects [17:57] lovre: there enable the "desktop effects" [17:57] I'm probably alone there though. [17:58] i have some bugs with compiz, the tray icons are flying on the desktop, and sometimes it crashes [17:58] !kde > blekos [17:58] I have the same bugs with Kwin4 as compiz. [17:59] muesli: i dont see "desktop effects" there [17:59] * MilitantPotato curses ATI. [17:59] muesli: maybe cuz compiz is installed? [17:59] i dont see it either [17:59] and im on a fresh install [17:59] if you installed KDE4-core only you'll need a couple other packages i think [18:00] can u tell me them [18:00] or an idea [18:00] ffs, why does my comp freeze when burning is over, until i eject cd--- [18:00] let me check, i spent 30 mins going through the packages [18:00] ok thank you very much [18:01] lover that sounds like a simply config what type of burner you using [18:02] i have a question about hal, would anyone mind helping me out? i dont' want to throw off the channels topic [18:02] flowers: probably better off asking in #ubuntu-devel [18:03] hello [18:03] stdin: i'll try there thanks [18:04] cant add mp3 files to create an audio cd in k3bm, says format not supported, any help? [18:05] i get this: Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format: [18:05] You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project. [18:05] does anyone know how to make a usb drive mount automatically? i need to manually mount it every time i boot [18:06] Silouck: install "libk3b2-extracodecs" (Gutsy) "libk3b2-mp3" (Feisty) [18:06] reaperdragon: no idea man, sorry. [18:07] Could anyone tell me why when my DVD drive and DVDs are capeable of 16x, it only burns arround 4-6x [18:07] 8x now [18:07] TimS: It's because you have it set to Auto. You can specify 16x if you want. [18:08] I have it set to 16x actualy. [18:08] depends on what speed the data is accessed from your hard drive too [18:08] Then I'm out. [18:08] I've never had a 16x burn go at 16x [18:08] It always seems to go a fair bit slower, windows and linux [18:08] Ah, stdin, that could be it, I am copying a DVD, but its copied to an ISO first, then burning the iso [18:12] My full dvds burn in under 3 minutes. I don't check the speed since its been obviously quicker than when I was using windows. [18:13] stdin: i continue getting the same message [18:13] Full dual layers burned in just under 5 minutes. [18:13] Silouck: you have to restart k3b after installing the package [18:14] Amarok skips a few seconds ahead into the song instead of playing from the very beginning unless started manually. I've had this problem on different installations/distrobutions. Help? [18:14] My error message persists. ~~~Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".~~~ [18:15] ~~~Could not initialize SDL Video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual.~~~ [18:15] hi [18:15] What am I missing?

[18:16] Let me check [18:16] repo [18:16] you don't have AIGLX support [18:16] How do I get it? [18:16] I know for compiz you need XGL [18:17] I've not had ATI before, this is my first. [18:17] You could install the ones from ATI's site and deal with the bugs [18:17] or? [18:17] or Install XGL, although I've no idea if KWIN4 works with it [18:17] !burn [18:17] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[18:20] i tried at 6x now, it doesnt even start burning data, it just says Error, and dvd is not usable [18:20] ouch [18:20] MilitantPotato: you thing that would solve the problem? its not old [18:21] im crazy cuz this, need to burn some DVDs, and im just filling my trash can [18:21] with dvds [18:22] MilitantPotato: I install xserver-xgl and it still gives me the same error message [18:22] Logout and backin draik [18:22] What bugs am I to expect with the drivers from ATi's site?

I entered my password and now I don't have the splash screen with everything loading. It's just sitting there with it's pretty background and the mouse. [18:25] but I'm just guessing. [18:26] MilitantPotato: so what am i going to do now.... trow my comp trough window.. [18:26] any tips on how to upgrade to the new kde? [18:26] if that's recommended at all... [18:26] see topic^ [18:26] lovre: I'd try a firmware update, especially if it's a new drive, and maybe get some decent DVD's, like Verbatim [18:27] MilitantPotato: i got Verbatim [18:27] romunov: not recommended, but easy to do [18:27] MilitantPotato: and k3b is destroying my verbatims :( [18:27] I use a memorex burner with memorex dvds. Never had an issue [18:27] MilitantPotato: why update if its new? [18:27] romunov: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [18:27] stdin: you here? [18:27] ScorpKing: yeah [18:27] parkin: thanks, i'll check it out [18:27] stdin: just wanna say thanks for helping with the kde4 packages for kubuntu. it's really appreciated. :D [18:27] lovre: because new drives are far from programmed right, many will make loads of coasters untill a firmware update fixes it. [18:27] MilitantPotato: Ok. I got nothing. It's sitting there and not loading. [18:28] lovre: do some googling on your drive, see if it's a common problem [18:28] How could I reverse my primary and secondary display? [18:28] ScorpKing: no problem :) [18:28] :) [18:28] ...?

[18:32] =) [18:32] MilitantPotato: Seems that I have nothing more than a zoomed-in look of a small section to the login. Nothing moves. It asked for my UN, then PW and then I have my last login. That's all. I see nothing else. [18:32] try kdesudo adept_installer in a shell [18:32] shift+page down [18:33] stdin: could u help me with my KDE4?

[18:35] So, anyone else have any other ideas? [18:35] I see block faces [18:35] wow, k-lined [18:35] hearts [18:35] draik: when you hit ctrl+alt+f1 does a black screen come up with a login prompt?

[18:41] Nope, it just says it created lists. [18:41] MilitantPotato: yes, that should be true. [18:41] MilitantPotato: what do you think how long does it take? [18:41] Mine took about 3 mins [18:42] MilitantPotato: ill try it. Going to windows now... cya later [18:42] make sure you kill every program you can [18:42] in task manager.

[18:48] how do you download programs in kde4 since the adept manager wants a root password? [18:48] nwps: you have to modprobe cryptoloop first and then sudo losetup -e .....and the rest. it might be that the defult encryption isn't the same on kubuntu [18:48] cant u just use command line [18:48] !kdesu | kanibal [18:48] kanibal: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to.

(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x22 [18:59] hmm...

[19:02] I'm back. [19:02] if you don't have that in there, give it a try [19:02] also make sure the Device section for your video card has fglrx as the driver [19:02] or, pastebin it [19:02] The adept_installer asked me for root access, but I still can't make changes...

Still nothing. I do not have the splash screen which displays what is being started [19:05] desktop never loads either draik? [19:05] Nope [19:05] soon as he mentioned it i sorta knew that could be it [19:05] anyway, thanks for help/suggestions [19:06] It stays here for a while then takes me back to the login screen [19:06] Do I have to reinstall everything? [19:06] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg maybe? [19:06] Where is the sources.list file again? [19:06] =D [19:07] draik: have you tried a full restart?

[19:07] Hello nosrednaekim [19:07] Me, MilitantPotato? [19:07] hey draik [19:08] MilitantPotato: Would if I could, but can't. [19:08] how do i set that every images opens up with GwenView first? [19:09] ctrl+alt+f1 and sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl [19:09] Also, why is it that when I tell my laptops to either restart or shutdown, they don't.

[19:09] hey draik, ask in #compiz-fusion about the black screen with an ATI card and XGL [19:10] Can someone please tell me how I can get Adobe flash working with Opera or Konqueror? [19:10] draik: how far does the bar go down? [19:10] Thank you MilitantPotato, Firefox was installed. :) [19:10] nosrednaekim: The bar goes all the way back. It just sits there [19:10] It sounds like your video card might not be supported by the drivers you have installed, which would prevent you from loading XGL [19:10] !flash [19:10] 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 [19:10] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[19:10] I just shutdown the laptop by holding down the power button. [19:10] thanks [19:10] I don't know what it's doing right now since it's a blank screen [19:11] draik: I have noticed that with serveral distros/laptops. I think it has to do with buggy BIOS's [19:11] or ACPI [19:11] This is where it would show Kubuntu in blue with the scrolling bar [19:11] in either case, its not harmful to hard power it off at that state [19:11] I only cross my fingers and hope for the login screen [19:12] draik: what video card does it have? [19:12] ATi [19:12] ATI Mobility...? [19:12] what version? [19:12] One sec [19:12] how do i know if my burner is hdc or hdd? [19:13] "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY" [19:13] is it master of slave on the secondary IDE controller [19:13] not sure, i think slave [19:13] draik: probably screwed..

[19:16] draik: XGL causing that problem is probably from Either the wrong drivers, or poor support of your hardware from those drivers. [19:17] Oh great...the flash plugin md5sum fails [19:17] MilitantPotato: Now that I have a GUI, would you like to see my xorg.conf?

[19:21] That's what it said [19:21] not installed [19:23] MilitantPotato: Sorry for the delay, had to configure firefox. Here is my link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51802/ [19:23] Hello everyone. I think I'd like to switch to KDE, but I have no idea what to do or where to begin. I'm a very new Ubuntu user and I'm working with a fresh Ubuntu installation. Can someone point me in the right direction? [19:24] ThipThip: Logout. Change your session type to KDE and then login to your computer [19:24] That should do it [19:24] ThipThip: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:24] ThipThip: You can run KDE and GNOME side-by-side: no need to "switch" just yet :) [19:25] ThipThip: Sorry, I read that wrong. I thought you had it installed [19:25] i just realised that there is a NeroLinux edition. What do you ppl think of it? Besides that its not free.. :( [19:26] lovre: try it, you'll know yourself in 5 minutes [19:26] i don't think anyone who's seen k3b would ever use it [19:26] How do I modify my sudoers file so that I don't get asked for su's password? [19:27] No problem. OK, so to be honest, I don't 100% understand precisely what a "window manager" is and what the differences are. Could someone either give me a rundown or point me to a document which will give a very beginner-oriented description? (Note: I'm not new to computers, just to Linux) [19:27] ThipThip: you just need to install kubuntu-desktop package [19:27] !ati [19:27] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto === arnl is now known as Aranel [19:28] ThipThip: well, basically the difference is everything you graphicall see. say "explorer.exe" was ported to linux, that would be another windowmanager [19:28] ThipThip: Ubuntu=GNOME=Mac-ish look Kubuntu=KDE=windows-sh look That is the "window manager" [19:28] ThipThip: Here's a very short guide that some people find helpful: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome [19:28] im trying to burn a cd using k3b and it gave me a permision error saying k3b couldnt open cdrecord permision denied, so i open disk an file system settings and tried to enable cdrom0 and it gives me this error: [19:28] The system reported: mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only [19:28] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [19:28] draik: KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Restricted Manager [19:28] sorry for spam [19:28] draik: enable the restricted drivers if it lets you [19:28] * internetnightmar makes KDE look GNOMEish, somehow panel layout is very nice in Ubuntu [19:29] great! Thank you. Let me ask this also: Is software compatible with both without exception? Is there any significant operational difference (other than obviously having to click in different places for different things) [19:29] draik: I'm not sure if fglrx supports your video card, I've no idea what the M6 LY is. [19:29] Also: What is good about KDE 4? I have a dual-core 64bit AMD processor and I'd like to really use it. [19:29] guyz need help with kaffine.... its crashing.... new bee here [19:29] ThipThip: all software is comaptible between the two, though KDE apps generally work better in kde and vice versa. [19:29] muesli: i agree that k3b is nice, but im having problems with it, and dont know why [19:29] I don't think I have the restricted driver for it. I show "Software modem driver" for the component, that's it. It's also in use, BTW. [19:30] can anyone help me? [19:30] BRB [19:30] ThipThip: right now...all its got going for it over kde3 is that it looks good [19:30] lovre: well, whats the problem? [19:30] ThipThip: KDE is much more customizable compared to Gnome [19:30] if its small surgy.... [19:30] i need to reinstall kaffine some1 tell me the command!!! [19:30] ThipThip: I recommend getting a Live CD of Ubuntu and Kubuntu, give them both a try, that's the only way you'll settle [19:30] well i cant mount my blank cd so therefore i cant burn things to it [19:30] + bluetooth support in KDE leaves gnome standing still [19:31] That's true. [19:31] Bluetooth in gnome is a nightmare. [19:31] ntweat_: "sudo apt-get remove kaffeine" and then "sudo apt-get install kaffeine" [19:31] MilitantPotato: I think I'd rather simply install both and switch back and forth to get a feel. Is there a disadvantage to that approach? [19:31] +kde automatically runs windows s/w on wine at a double click [19:31] I do not use bluetooth, but customizability is good. [19:31] ThipThip: just the space it takes up. [19:31] anyone? [19:31] ThipThip: Install one, then install kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop from the repos [19:32] MilitatantPotato: I need a good excuse to do some serious spring cleaning on my hard drive anyway :-) [19:32] surgy: no need to mount a blank cd, use k3b to write things [19:32] ThipThip: give Xfce a try while you're at it. [19:32] surgy: try right click and mount [19:32] It's very lightweight (fast) [19:33] muesli: hmm, it seems that problem is not with k3b, i have it with nerolinux as well, and with gnomebaker once [19:33] What is Xfce? At this point I'm willing to sacrifice some weight for good looks. [19:33] i dont want to spam again but k3b gives an error which i typed above, and when i right click mount it gives an error also above [19:33] Also, if I type "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" will it get KDE4? [19:33] ThipThip: then don't get XFCE, [19:33] bluetooth brought me back to kubuntu, I jumped ship to gnome cos it gets so much more developer love from canonical but the hassle of using it with my phone ended my brief flirtation :-) [19:33] ThipThip: no, thats only kde3, kde4 is a bit more complicated [19:33] Xfce is less eye candy, more speed [19:33] surgy: no need to mount a blank cd, use k3b to write things [19:33] So you won't want that [19:33] No, KDE4 won't install that way [19:34] lovre: well again, _what_ is the problem? [19:34] i like kde 3 better widgets of kde 4 eat my heaad [19:34] but KDE4 is far from finished, i'd skip it for now, get KDE3.5 [19:34] ntweat but it gives me errors! when i try to write using k3b it gives errors! which i stated above [19:34] ThipThip: don't worry about kde4 it's still very flakey [19:34] muesli: at the start of burning it just ejects the dvd, and says Burning Failed. Almost every time. I tried burning at 6x, 8x and 12x. The burner can burn even 20x, and DVD's are Verbatim's that can go to 16x [19:34] ntweat_: just keep kde3 running [19:34] rothchild: Is 'canonical' a repository of software? Is this software not available for or compatible with KDE? [19:34] muesli: thats what i m doing... [19:35] ThipThip: anything in any ubuntu repository is comaptible with any windows manager/desktop environment [19:35] ThipThip: it's just a mirror of the main repos [19:35] ntweat_: it's probably a wise choice as a user for now [19:35] surgy i just came... [19:35] ThipThip: to take some load off of the main servers. [19:35] ThipThip: canonical is the company that distributes ubuntu [19:35] yup muesli [19:35] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:35] ntweat sorry, im just getting frustrated, can i pm you so as to not flood the main channel with my errors? its only 3 lines [19:36] ThipThip: Also, poke around in synaptic for other KDE packages (NOT KDE4 ones though) [19:36] surgy: pastebin it do we can all see [19:36] because gnome is the core product it gets the lion share of development [19:36] I have a dell latitude D400 with Kubuntu on but can not get wifi to work does not see it [19:36] !wifi [19:36] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:36] lovre: does that burner work elsewhere? say windows [19:36] MilitantPotato: Great advice. Thank you. [19:37] I'll stick around for a while. [19:37] muesli: on windows it worked nice [19:37] Hello, is this the right place to get help on bluetooth? I can transfer files from PC to phone but not the other way around. [19:37] ThipThip: when it asks to chose between KDM or GDM, use GDM [19:37] ThipThip: you can change between the two later with sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [19:37] !ubotu away [19:37] You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #kubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away " to set your client away silently.

[20:03] bottom line beeing, at the end kde 4.0 stopped displaying anything [20:04] anybody have an idea how to fix it [20:04] MilitantPotato: Where is the composite? [20:04] ryjek: delete your ~/.kde4 dir i'd say [20:04] hmm, why not [20:04] I've found deleting .kde in your /home folder does it [20:04] egork: Seems that I am still using the ati driver [20:04] :) [20:04] draik: try: [20:04] er.. .kde4 [20:04] ryjek: since you just started playing with it, you'd hardly lose anything [20:04] yeah I know [20:05] I like did nthn with it yet [20:05] try the radeon driver [20:05] Ok [20:05] I borked it a few times.. deleting .kde4 fixed it [20:05] Ok [20:05] It's change [20:05] *changed [20:05] restart x now? [20:05] draik: yes [20:06] 10-4 [20:06] draik: if you still don't get direct rendering: Yes [20:06] Reconfigure X again, choose the radeon driver. [20:06] draik: very odd video card, sorta shooting blanks here since google is being useless [20:07] I have changed "ati" to "radeon" for the driver in xorg.conf [20:07] I still get No [20:08] draik: did you restart X? [20:08] Yes [20:08] it worked, thx a lot ;) [20:08] Here's the issue [20:08] I don't have radeon on my list [20:08] this was a long way to get radeon working in this configuration. It was not just changing the driver name and restarting the x server. [20:09] ah [20:09] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all [20:09] or [20:09] xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [20:09] iirc [20:10] how can I connect a windows VPN server with linux? [20:10] I am getting connected have no valid route [20:11] xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd worked. It's installed. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg now? [20:11] draik, check the section graphics here http://geocities.com/egor_kobylkin/linux.html [20:11] yes [20:11] choose radeon [20:12] radeon still not on my list. Did I have to restart x first?

In general, how do I get wifi the easiest way, because I dont know anything about making hardware work on linux. [20:48] easiest way is to make sure you buy an atheros card [20:49] what happens if you say 'startx' from commandline?

I backed it up before making any and all changes [20:52] okey, why my root pass dosen't work on kde 4 [20:53] draik_: have you tried to install fglrx? Because you should not, this is what the HOWTO says. [20:53] I did already [20:53] ryjek: run stuff from shell with kdesudo [20:54] ryjek: there's some bug with kdesu from what I was told [20:54] damn xchat [20:54] how can i restart plasma and set plasma translation on englisch [20:55] stdin, ScorpKing: Thanks, looking at it now, to see what I can find.

In other words, if you've installed fglrx, and are getting issues when running glxinfo, or other programs that use the 3D engine, or even just trying to log in, then you should reinstall Ubuntu! Some users reported being able to get things to work just by uninstalling fglrx, and changing the driver back to radeon, but fglrx will most [20:56] likely mess with Beryl, and possibly everything else 3D. You have been warned!" quotation end. [20:57] i see the first updates to kde4 are there already [20:58] wesley_: go to kubuntu.org on the front page [20:58] egork: Should I just uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx and hope for the best? [20:59] draik_: I would try this first. On the other hand, if you do not have too much stuff configured in your current installation it could be more advantageous to reinstall Kubuntu. [21:00] 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready and 4 to go [21:00] tekteen i think you did misunderstand me i meaned the first updates of the 4.0 === edulix_ is now known as Edulix [21:02] wesley_: no clue [21:03] egork: MilitantPotato: I just removed xorg-driver-fglrx and now I have direct rendering. YAY! Thanks to the two of you for your input. :) [21:03] draik_: great news :D [21:03] Restart X? [21:04] draik_: just wondering what machine do you have this card in? [21:04] egork: It's a Dell SmartStep 200N [21:05] Hi. [21:05] draik_: thanks, good luck with it. [21:07] I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me with a little wireless problem. :) [21:07] I followed the guides and whatnot, but nothing seemed to fit. [21:07] It appears that my router just isn't assigned me an IP address -- everything else appears to be working fine, and wireless has worked fine in other locations. [21:08] I'm also pretty sure that it used to work fine here, but nothing has changed. [21:08] When I use dhclient, all the packets just drop. [21:10] Is there anything else I can do? The wireless works fine on this same laptop under Windows, so something's going on with Kubuntu and my router. [21:10] egork: It was given to me because the owner thought it was dead. Turns out it was just a burned out hdd [21:11] Hey i'm having problem with my Atheros WiFi card on Kubuntu 7.10 - It's been working great until a couple of days ago when kubuntu stopped seeing it - kernel log shows the device has been initialised (http://pastebin.org/15257) but knetwork manager can't see it and neither can "Network Settings" tool - does anyone have any ideas? [21:11] I've never been able to get wireless working in Linux on this laptop even though it works in Windows [21:12] Oh, I should mention that Kubuntu can still see the router perfectly fine, shows me the signal strength, the ESSID, and everything, and it's an open network. [21:13] mm. My wireless can see networks, but it doesn't like to connect to them. [21:13] That sounds like me, TheWhiteRook. [21:13] mm. do you have an intel? [21:13] My gets hung at 57% with the KNetworkManagaer. [21:14] Nope, the Dell-style broadcom. [21:14] I meant to get an Intel but I forgot when I finally ordered the laptop. :( [21:14] :( [21:14] Shamshiel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/105130 [21:15] What's strange is this is the *only* network I haven't been able to connect to, though. [21:15] maybe? [21:15] And I'm almost certain I used to be able to. [21:15] MilitantPotato: Thanks, let me look. :) [21:16] IIRC, I wasn't able to connect with iwconfig either, so maybe that's not it. But thanks. :( [21:16] How do I configure sudoers so that I am not asked for my password when using "su" "sudo" and "kdesu" [21:17] draik_: "su" has nothing to do with sudoers, and you shouldn't be able to use it at all normally. [21:17] draik_: aside from that, "man sudoers" has the answers [21:17] Also, a fix listed for that bug involves deleting two lines from the interfaces file, but I don't have them to begin with. :( [21:17] draik_: search for NOPASSWD [21:18] Shamshiel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/125767/comments/8 [21:18] isn't that the whole point of sudo, is to make sure that idiots you don't know don't go on your computer and screw things up? [21:18] whats the package name for the development tools? [21:18] oops, i meant to paste https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/125767 [21:19] what Dbus? i wanna test speech the text out in konqi [21:20] cua0: to develop programs or build from source? [21:20] MilitantPotato: build from source [21:21] MilitantPotato: i ./configure'd something and it said gcc can't output executables. [21:21] MilitantPotato: Thanks again; I think I did once into that problem, and I discovered the getting rid of all the non-loopback interfaces fixed it, so my interfaces file still looks like those workarounds suggest. :( [21:21] Unless perhaps you think the GNOME network manager would help? I can try that. :D [21:21] !build [21:21] Although it will be a while. XD [21:21] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [21:22] read that cua0 [21:22] I couldn't get my wireless working in Gnome either [21:22] Shamshiel: I've no idea :( [21:22] MilitantPotato: thanks.. [21:22] np, hope it helps [21:23] Well, I'll play around some more, I guess. ^^; [21:23] Hmm, got a bug in : system settings/monitor%display/hardware , on a clean install of Hardy 8.04 ... orphaned modules are preventing my access to the resolution and graphics drivers configuration. I've done the aptfix etc , but I'm stalled :( [21:23] I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps it's a router problem that Linux just happens to be more senstive, though. [21:23] I can't get on wireless at home or at school. [21:23] MilitantPotato: build-essential [21:24] Today, out of the blue, I've been frequently disconnected from IRC on Windows with software abort errors, which seem to be caused by the router not acknowledging sent packets. [21:24] Or are possibly caused by that, anyway. [21:24] when did your lack of Linux wireless start [21:24] ? [21:24] Mine started at least a month ago, iirc. [21:25] iirc? [21:25] Probably more than that, but I can't say with any certainty because I wasn't too concerned with it then (I spent most of my time elsewhere.) [21:25] If I recall correctly, sorry. XD Bad habit. [21:26] ahhh. ok [21:26] not many people I know use those.. [21:27] Well, I'm going to go mess around some more and see if anything works. [21:27] Thanks, guys. :) [21:27] mm. I've been using Linux since April, and I've never been able to get it to work [21:27] where are the ubuntu keymaps kept? [21:27] Kubuntu or Ubuntu? [21:28] sorry I couldn't help you better... [21:28] oops, he left. [21:28] or she [21:28] if you mean shortcuts, System Settings > keyboard and mouse [21:28] while i'm here are there any KDE4 .deb repositories up?

And Great! How'd you do it? [21:31] Oh? [21:31] was all a spelling error in /etc/modprobe.d/options >_> [21:32] i pet a kubuntu as a virtual machine [21:32] the only thing i do daily with it is Get Updates, Full Upgrade, Apply Changes... [21:32] NexaMac: haha, go figure it was something so mundane as that. [21:32] im currently using normal ubuntu, with gnome. Now I kinda want to try the new KDE4. Would it be more stable if I installed kubuntu on it's own partition with KDE4, or is it almost the same as just installing it on my current ubuntu install? [21:32] mmbp3 instead of mbp3.. so one letter missplaced :/ [21:32] what are the glib2 header packages in? [21:33] Confidentia1: i advise you not try kde4... [21:33] Confidentia1: it's the same [21:33] Confidential1: download the liveCD and try it out with that. [21:33] NexaMac: ouch, good thing you caught that error. Something like that is very tricky to spot. [21:33] Confidentia1: just see the link in the topic [21:33] NexaMac: Congrats on getting it to 'finally' work :-) [21:33] terran4000: thanks :p [21:33] KDE4 is too new to be useful for most [21:33] or useable [21:34] MilitantPotato: lol. So true. [21:34] argh [21:34] I change a Keyboard shortcut and system settings crashes [21:35] NexaMac: now all that's left is getting your mac some wobbly windows! [21:36] whats the difference between the cd 700mb, and the dvd iso version? [21:36] The DVD has more packages on it [21:36] Bagualas: the dvd has more junk on it [21:36] Good for offline people :) [21:37] terran4000, iuehiauheiuae, really junk? or util programs? [21:37] hmm, no keyboard shortcut to minimize all windows [21:38] Bagualas: Well there any many packages included in the DVD iso. Some will be useful ... other's not. My preference is for a small slim system, but that's just me [21:38] terran4000, uhum, thanks man :) [21:38] i'm using ubuntu a few time, want to try kde system :D [21:38] Bagualas: try KDE3.5 [21:38] what about kde4? to bad? [21:38] KDE4 will frustrate and dissapoint you [21:38] Too new. [21:39] It's far from completel [21:39] It's "different" [21:39] =\ [21:39] last time i used kde was on slack 9 [21:39] hehehe [21:39] It's bleeding edge and missing many features they didn't get in for the release [21:39] One thing in KDE4 that frustrates me is that there is no "desktop" persay [21:39] i can be surprise on 3.5 :D [21:39] hahaha, there's a debate going on about whether the early release was good in #kubuntu-kde4 [21:39] I say it was a great move. [21:39] Can't get feedback if it's not released. [21:40] This isn't a piece of software you pay for, it has no need and would hurt development to delay untill it's "done" [21:41] I've got apt-cacher setup for boxes on my network... Will my server use the cache as well? Often, my server isn't the first one updated. I don't want to download OpenOffice packages from one of my apt-cacher clients and then have to redownload it again on the server. Does it drop the deb into the proper folder on my server? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [21:44] [22:35] NexaMac: now all that's left is getting your mac some wobbly windows! <---- i do have those o_O [21:45] Well, they aint wobbling enough!

[21:49] i havent done anything [21:49] disable the shortcut [21:49] Ange|us: not ati [21:49] Dragonath: correct question would be "where do i find klipper" i suppose :P [21:49] oh I found the bugger [21:49] Normally around the time [21:49] Hunkennalle: fresh install or not? [21:49] Be nice to it, klipper is only trying to be productive :) [21:50] terran4000: ca;tje [21:50] what do you mean? [21:50] terran4000: capture cards not video cards.. [21:50] if it wants to be productive, it can be outside firefox where I really want to open tabs with middle mouse button :) [21:50] I don't see the disable shortcut thingie though [21:50] Ange|us: Video capture card? Audio Capture cards? Fruit Fly Capture Cards? [21:51] Hunkennalle: i really dont know how to say it any clearer :/ [21:51] is it under the actions tab?

[22:01] MilitantPotato: "with microsoft crap" :) [22:02] Hunkennalle: Are you running any raid, sata or any 'new age' stuff? [22:02] Proprietary and incompatible is MS's game it seems [22:02] terran4000: sometimes those words can be synonymous. [22:02] MilitantPotato: thats the ONE place i will ever support microsoft in anything.. [22:02] and just incompatible is Mac's [22:02] im not good at computers so im not sure what youre talking about [22:02] MilitantPotato: not being their fault the ipod doesnt work with wma that is :p [22:02] Hunkennalle: oh, my apologies. [22:03] Hunkennalle: hmm ... Is it a new computer or old? [22:03] new... hp dv9000 [22:03] Hunkennalle: try unhooking all USB and other perhipials [22:03] ok... [22:03] Or if you're like me, make sure you're cat isn't inside the case when you try to boot it. Couldn't figure out why it was overheating >_> [22:04] Hunkennalle: Kubuntu 7.10 right? [22:04] *snort* [22:04] yes [22:05] terran4000: I had a couple hundred legos in mine once that caused a nice racket when I turned it on, scared the bejesus out of me. [22:05] correct me if im wrong, but if windows AND kubuntu fails, its very likely its the harddrive? [22:05] MilitantPotato: "2cm in" would be right after the boot strap and before the kernel right? [22:05] Deleted the application lancher from the KDE 4 panel. How do I add it again? :-/ [22:05] NexaMac: Windows freezing on shutdown is way to common [22:05] MilitantPotato: never happened to me on my desktop :) [22:05] windows works fine [22:05] top right corinth, click the orange blob [22:06] might be cause it has the ultimate power off dual booting linux and windurrrr tho [22:06] :p [22:06] Hunkennalle: hmm, wait ... do you know if you have more than one hard drive in that computer? [22:06] yes iv got two [22:06] MilitantPotato: I know, but how do I add it to the panel? [22:06] kubuntu on d [22:06] thought so ... [22:06] corinth: No idea there, I tried for ever, i wound up just rm -R ~/.kde4 [22:07] then restarting X [22:07] Who wants to take Hunkennalle through the process of editing grub? >< [22:07] MilitantPotato: What does that command do? [22:07] deletes the KDE4 config files [22:07] terran4000: not me [22:07] rm -R is a recursive remove, be VERYYYYYYYYYY careful with it. [22:07] i call dibbs on not doing it! [22:07] one type-o and you're install goes away. [22:07] your* [22:08] man grub terran4000? [22:08] Hunkennalle: I "think" I know the issue and how to fix it.

[22:13] Hunkennalle: first do sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak [22:13] MilitantPotato: I'm considering switch to KDE (from GNOME). [22:13] terran4000: /home or home? [22:14] Odd-rationale: KDE 3.5 is awsome. [22:14] NexaMac: sadly both. [22:14] :< [22:14] Hunkennalle: yes, in console [22:14] 127.0.0.1 :> [22:14] Odd-rationale: why not install kubuntu-desktop and have your cake and eat it. [22:14] Hunkennalle: or just press Alt-F2 to bring up the run dialog box thingy and put it in there [22:14] MilitantPotato: I think I've seen you on the #ubuntu channel quite often before. Do/did you use gnome? [22:15] Once it asks for your password [22:15] yea I did :) [22:15] enter it in there [22:15] For a few months, then I figured I'd give KDE a go, havn't looked back [22:15] Hunkennalle: Kate will open up with menu.lst loaded. [22:15] the wife even uses KDE now [22:15] MilitantPotato: I prefer clean installs. Besides, I've reinstalled ubuntu multiple time. :) It is never a pain! [22:15] yes [22:15] now what? [22:15] Hunkennalle: Scroll down a little bit to where it says something like " [22:15] title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic [22:15] root (hd0,0) [22:16] my apologies for the multiple line stuff >_> [22:16] my girlfriend hates vista, but wont go for linux :< talk about confused [22:16] terran4000: why not have him paste bin it? [22:16] Then ya can edit it for him so he doesn't break it and be SOL [22:16] MilitantPotato: I'm out of time, girl/date already telling me to get my ass over there. [22:16] got this: [22:16] title Linux [22:16] # root (hd0,1) [22:16] Ah :) [22:16] Hunkennalle: yeah, it's close enough [22:16] Hunkennalle: ok [22:16] ok [22:17] Hunkennalle: Right under linux: Change "root (hd0,1)" ---> "root (hd1,0)" [22:17] Odd-rationale: I actually liked having both installed, some of the Gnome utilities are great on KDE [22:17] Hunkennalle: save it [22:17] Hunkennalle: exit and reboot [22:17] wont theat delete my windows? [22:17] No [22:17] sure [22:18] Hunkennalle: if it breaks, boot the live CD and re-install grub [22:18] But now I have to run. I swear, some women are so damn bossy >_> [22:18] ok but it wont delete my windows that ive got on my c drive?

I had to use the terminal. [22:20] MIA? o_O [22:20] later [22:21] hi guys. i want to edit the GrubHowto page on ubuntu docs and add instructions on how to boot a floppy image from grub should the computer not have a floppy drive. some computers does not support booting from cd-roms and the only way to boot from the cd is to load a bootmanager floppy which has cd booting support. can i add that information on the GrubHowto or should i create another page?

[22:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy [22:27] No, but it would be safer [22:27] Right now, I just want to test them with the password Test and it's telling me that I have to change their passwords, root requested [22:27] unless they're all user accounts for one person. [22:28] do test1, test2, test3... etc [22:28] root enforced, sorry [22:28] or test[firstletterofusername] [22:28] Hey guys...i just installed Kubuntu, and I'm at a lost on how to install packages I've downloaded. [22:29] They are not all for one person, but I was just leaving them as test while I get things configured [22:29] draik: it may be because sometimes it requires you to change after a a certeain about of time [22:29] OK I found the menu editor, how do I hide certain apps? [22:29] jason: what form are the packages that your downloaded? [22:29] I used the Adept Manager to install packages, but when I download uh, tar.gz stuff I'm not sure what to do with those [22:29] nosrednaekim: I set it for zero. No password change and does not expire [22:29] draik: oh ok, never mind then [22:29] hi just wanted to inform you that i just build kde with kdesvn-buildscript , AND have the kubuntu packages installed, and the kdesvnbuild version is much faster [22:29] jason: if you can find a .deb package of the same thing, it'll be a lot easier to install [22:29] jason: like which app? it kinda depends [22:30] oh, so i should look for debian packages? [22:30] !build | jason [22:30] I'm trying to install Opera [22:30] k4: it would be.... it was compiled just for your computer [22:30] jason: Compiling software from source?

"wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801" [22:56] what's wmaster0 [22:56] You have to drag it from the add widgets box directly to the panel, not to the desktop of not clicking "add Widget" [22:56] You can add any of the widgets to the panel this way [22:58] * BluesKaj doesn't understand what widgets do [22:58] Lol.

[23:03] seezer: it wrecked my kde3 vers , so i'm try hardy as we speak, but I'm not too impressed with it either :( [23:03] corinth: any idea how to create a second panel? [23:03] it worked for a few logins - and now does not. and i'm tired of reconfiguring through rm ~/.kde4.. [23:04] err trying [23:04] MilitantPotato: Let me look around, haven't tried it. I know there is a way, just don't know if it's ready yet. [23:04] BluesKaj: 'default application' konqui is now konqui4 inside the kde3 session too.. [23:04] kinda ugly. [23:04] yes, i found out too late :( [23:04] Hi guys. :) [23:05] I thought you might be interested in knowing my problem was apparently just that KNetworkManager didn't like this particular network anymore.

[23:29] If I try that I get E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:29] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [23:29] !fixapt [23:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about fixapt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:29] Did you just try it again? [23:29] yes [23:30] And I recieved the error I just sent [23:30] probably got adept running in the background or something.. [23:30] ive rebooted. [23:30] With the 'install' too? You didn't list it before in yoru command, and I'm not sure if its needed. [23:30] *your [23:30] I did have install [23:30] let me try and reboot again I dunno [23:30] Kk [23:31] Can someone please go tconfigure kde panel and under appearance tell me where the background image for the panel is located? [23:32] http://digg.com/tech_news/Apple_to_Partner_with_News_Corp_Parent_of_Fox_News === diRu is now known as dios[RU] [23:32] http://linux.xlibs.net/2008/01/12/howto-install-kde-4-stable-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ YES!!! [23:32] can any one please suggest article for how to set up router or ip masquarding? [23:33] !aptlock [23:33] 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 » [23:33] Is there a way I can make an expanding tree of my commonly used apps in the panel? The quicklauncher takes up a bit too much room, since my1024x768 CRT hasn't died yet. ;) [23:33] Ok I am back. I tried running it again and I get E: Couldn't find package kde-desktop [23:33] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE [23:34] echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [23:34] aram: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ [23:34] RD579: Maybe kubuntu-desktop is what you are looking for [23:34] then to make it perm [23:34] RD579: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:34] iptables-save > /etc/iptables.iptables [23:35] biovore: thanks [23:35] anyone else think that they should make the markdown filter extensible? [23:35] Datalanche that worked thanks. [23:35] markdown itself supports plugging in processors [23:35] Cool [23:35] but django doesnt support it [23:37] Can anyone think of a reason NOT to change certain desktop actions from CTRL-F10, etc to just plain F10? [23:38] kate and other application have hot-keys on F10 [23:39] How can I re-install my Mozilla flash plugin? [23:39] biovore: Ahh, I was hoping they'd not really be used by other applications... Well, I'll see what happens... Is there a way to disable kwin hotkeys? [23:39] er, temporarily* [23:39] kadam: probably.. [23:39] is there any chance kubuntu 8.04 to be with kde 4.0 by default? [23:39] Not sure.. [23:41] lod_: From what I've heard, Kubuntu 8.04 will have the option to choose either. [23:42] when creating an audio and adding mp3 i get a message saying that is an unsupported format, any help? [23:42] I think it will be 4 as default, with the option to install 3 alongside [23:43] Who is running Kubuntu gutsy right now? [23:43] most everyone [23:44] !restricted | Silouck [23:44] Silouck: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:44] Well, I'm looking for someone on kubuntu gutsy to help me with something very simple. It will only take about 15 seconds, lol. [23:44] what is it? [23:45] corinth: I'm running gutsy, how may I help? [23:45] I just need to know where the default panel background is stored, the directory. I accidently changed it, and can't find the original now. [23:45] hey anyone have any idea why my scrollwheel doesn't work in Kubuntu 7.10 [23:45] on my mouse that is [23:45] corinth: there under /usr/share/spps/kicker/wallpapers/ [23:45] (spps -> apps) [23:46] biovore: Thanks! [23:46] hey, looking for some help here. [23:46] ofc. [23:47] im sick of kubuntu not working well... im gonna install gentoo instead [23:47] * Jatz gasps. [23:47] :o [23:47] Hunkennalle, what isn't working well? [23:48] methinks you'll have an easier time with kubuntu then gentoo. [23:48] kde4 do not acept my root password [23:48] !kde4 | hola [23:49] hola: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [23:49] in booting it stops loading 9 times out of 10 and i cant shut the computer down without holding the powerbutton [23:49] Hunkennalle, using Gutsy? [23:49] oh yippe I think I have a solution [23:49] when creating an audio and adding mp3 i get a message saying that is an unsupported format, any help? [23:49] yes [23:52] Hunkennalle: hu? [23:52] got other people problems that you costum set background doest load add start up in kde4 [23:52] talked to nick [23:53] how can i scan the requires of a package? [23:54] Silouck, `apt-cache showpkg PACKAGE` [23:54] Silouck, also, for just depends, `apt-cache depends PACKAGE` [23:54] most useful though is rdepends :) [23:55] NickPresta: and when the package inst installed? [23:56] anyone here use dual monitors? [23:56] * pfein is thinking of going shopping... [23:56] Hunkennalle: if your having trouble with kubuntu, try debian [23:57] Silouck, you don't need to have the package installed to see the depends via (apt-cache depends). [23:57] !xinerama | pfein [23:57] pfein: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [23:57] pfein, I use a dual monitor setup [23:58] NickPresta: thats what im asking, casue i did appt-cache depends package and saus cant locate package!! [23:58] Silouck, which package? [23:58] that is irrelevant [23:58] Silouck, no it isn't. If the package doesn't exist, you won't find depends for it [23:58] for example with rpm i need to add -p to packages that arent installed [23:58] fuck [23:59] !ohmy | Silouck [23:59] Silouck: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:59] the package its here in my hd [23:59] NickPresta: can you mix & match screen sizes/rotation? also, what WM? [23:59] NickPresta: you making loose my time
