[00:15] no the link after that prodigy [00:15] politicians suck [00:15] helpy: that video is a very advanced compiz setup, i never made it that far, but read some forums, and you could make it...:) [00:16] helpy: cool, awesome, neet, grat... wow [00:16] helpy > and don't forget there are #compiz [00:16] and other rooms, specified for compiz:) [00:16] oh thanks MetaMorfoziS [00:17] #compiz-fusion [00:17] awesome. hail linux [00:17] :) [00:17] compiz-fusion is the coolest thing that came out of linux world. [00:17] hail! [00:18] yea it beats vista by far [00:18] prodigy > i think linux has a lot of better stuff imho [00:18] Adobe Flash suck with compiz-fusion enabled :S [00:18] oh yes, go bloat and cruft [00:18] it blasts vista aero to smithereens, vista alredy sucked hard, but hardy made it look lame, too!!! [00:18] flash sucks everywhere... [00:18] :D [00:18] xd [00:19] MetaMorfoziS: liek what? [00:19] compiz is nice for showing off a "hey, look at me, i'm cool!" desktop, but completely and utterly useless when it comes to actually working on a pc [00:19] is there a way other than wine to run flash (adobe flash to make games) [00:19] like it's unavailable for 64bit [00:19] i like my linux to look kool [00:19] like ff crashes 99% caused by flash [00:19] *cool [00:19] Daisuke_Ido: i can proove you wrong, mate [00:19] like it eats up your cpu (at least mine) [00:19] a nice trick is to zoom in the small flash embeded videos with compiz, instead of using them at fullscreen [00:20] MetaMorfoziS: you are r8! flash sux hard:) [00:20] prodigy: how does compiz improve productivity [00:20] but you can't watch youtube without it [00:20] Daisuke_Ido: i use compiz to ease up my work with viewports. [00:20] thats true:) [00:20] viewports [00:20] Daisuke_Ido: its more navigable [00:20] you are aware that virtual desktops aren't new, right? [00:20] i like compiz tab windows feature... although fluxbox already had that... [00:20] But adobe stated that they do the development paralell with other versions now [00:20] just do tilt windows and see whats in back ground [00:21] so new versions came out at the same time in the future [00:21] compiz offers nothing every distro doesn't already have [00:21] can you get virtual desktops free [00:21] so they become good:) [00:21] even if its a trial? [00:21] Daisuke_Ido: as many viewports as you like, just a keyboard shortcut away., and it looks kool too., plus seeing the content of widow while win+tab or alt+tab... [00:21] darrick: what? [00:21] i mean, flash player [00:21] etc etc [00:21] :) [00:21] prodigy: "cool" - we try to use big boy language here [00:22] tinin: the result of that varies, on gutsy with ATI it sucked on hardy still with ATI its good :s [00:22] im not sure... [00:22] better than kwin fullscreen [00:22] Daisuke_Ido > no, i try to use english here... i has some difficulity as you can see:D [00:22] Daisuke_Ido: what is wrong in some koolness in your computer using? [00:22] "cool" [00:23] Flash 10b, has 3d aceleration, but only if compiz is not running [00:23] it looks crispy, and helps me speed up my work. that is why i use it. p.s. i say kool, because i like KDE ;) [00:23] blame on adobe [00:23] and hate gnome [00:24] so otherwise you would have said "gool"? you make no sense [00:24] no, man, i say kool, konsole, etc. what do you have against me ssaying kool?! [00:24] how do you use viewports? [00:25] Qster: use them for what? [00:25] http://www.theonion.com/content/video/new_wearable_feedbags_let [00:25] omg [00:25] i dunno was just wondering what they are really [00:25] Qster: they are a part of compiz, replacing virtual desktops [00:25] Qster: fancy name for "virtual desktop" [00:26] compiz has its place, and i won't deny anyone their shiny [00:26] Daisuke_Ido: are you a no X user? [00:26] how do i use it tho? [00:26] it says its enabled [00:26] Daisuke_Ido: i bet you prefer typing a comand rather that clicking on an icon... [00:26] prodigy: i use X, i just prefer not to use compiz [00:26] compiz is awesome [00:26] ok why wont some programs open, they just go to loading aplication and then dissapear [00:26] Daisuke_Ido: ok. [00:26] prodigy: and would that be an issue? if i did prefer to use a command line? [00:27] i have seen windows vista users stop blinking watching what compiz can do [00:27] but true, linux isnt about eye candy [00:27] its more than that ? [00:27] you cant run gui programs from a command line tho [00:27] Daisuke_Ido: not at all, i just know some ppl that hate X and everything about it, compiz too. [00:27] Qster: BS - open a terminal and type konqueror [00:27] how do i install this theme ? [00:27] http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=77150 [00:27] minhaaj: hard work... [00:28] why ? [00:28] minhaaj > i think it has a readme [00:28] minhaaj: just a second... [00:28] says unable to access x server [00:28] ok lemme see === minhaaj is now known as helpy [00:28] but that isn't hard [00:29] minhaaj: yes, it has a readme, it is pretty too much work to build it, but it looks breathtaking... [00:29] hmm, it's nice [00:29] i try to install that [00:29] i am downloading it [00:29] actually, it is a windows blinds theme, ported to kde. [00:29] its in .tar.gz [00:29] Qster: if you're in a pure text environment (say, a TTY) then no, you won't be able to run gui programs, because there's not a gui [00:29] i just have to unzip it ? [00:29] the coolest theme i found so far. [00:29] but that's not what you said [00:29] hmm helpy i think you need cp -r .kde .kdeBackup [00:29] and me too [00:30] thats a konsole command ? [00:30] for the case if we mess up :D [00:30] yes [00:30] helpy: no. unzip it, install window sdecoration, colours, icons i think etc [00:30] hello hello [00:30] :) [00:30] not working MetaMorfoziS [00:30] you have to install every separatething manually. but it looks so nice...:) ahhh [00:31] hello Firefishe [00:31] how do install window sdecoration ? [00:31] hi prodigy [00:31] window decoration. [00:31] how ? [00:31] sorry, a typo [00:31] well i thought thats what you mean Daisuke_Ido [00:31] helpy: you have to build it in konsole. [00:31] what command ? [00:32] how do i use the viewport switcher? it says to initiate its button2? [00:32] im using cube tho is that the same thing? [00:32] i think the standard ./configure && make && make install [00:32] is this the command ? [00:32] checkinstall might be better easier to uninstall if needed [00:32] helpy: azenis theme has a nice readme file that exxplains what you have to do in order to install it. [00:32] i did have a question about 32bit vs 64bit if you guys knew... i currently have 3gigs of ram would i see any increase in 64bit?

[00:36] I said it 3 times to you [00:36] whats kicker ? [00:36] just get a kubuntu alternate install. burn it. plug in your pendrive (And maybe plug down your other hdds to prevent problems and grub errors). boot the cd [00:37] thats all. [00:37] your bios need to setup correctly to boot from usb [00:37] i can't help in that [00:37] helpy > kicker is the panels [00:37] thats light grey by default [00:37] with time, systray taskbar...

[00:45] is there a good audio progam on kubuntu-or even ubuntu- where I can loop and audio file? [00:45] amarok? [00:45] did you try audacity ? [00:45] audacity is a sound editor program [00:46] You might try rosegarden [00:47] no, actually. I tried with what cam in Gutsy. I will try those and see how they work. Thank you! [00:53] ive done something horrible to my keyboard settings, how can i restore them to defaults [00:54] Rioting_pacifist, what have you done? [00:55] not entirely sure i was playing around all day to get acer hotkeys to work, but i got them worknig another way, now my right control doesnt work in X but is shown as being down by the keyboard status applet [00:57] i dont get it. i can't install this theme [00:57] :S [00:57] Rioting_pacifist, you can go into System Settings > Keyboard and change it back to US Default or what ever it was before [01:00] i have, its wierd ctrl + click is picked up but not ctrl + a [01:03] well my system just got an flgrx update so im going to reboot and hope this stupid keyboard thing automagically goes away :s [01:03] do i have to restart to get the theme working ? [01:04] nope, infact ignore my panic alogether it was compiz wierdness, stupid decorations working means i never know if im in compiz lol [01:04] helpy, you have to restart X, I believe. Close any applications, log out, and then select "Restart X" from the login menu. Then log back in. === fale_ is now known as fale === USMarine is now known as marine [01:30] hello, can anybody help me install epsxe? === marine is now known as USMarine [01:32] Alguien aqui habla español?

[01:45] deos the usb need to be bootable or something?? [01:55] Howdy guys. I'm still learning about getting leopard and kubuntu to communicate, and eh, it's not going so well. How do I get both leopard and kubuntu to be able to play music from a music partition? [01:56] Leopard keeps wanting to not read it because it isn't a mac filing system, but of course when I reformat it into a mac filing system linux doesn't even know it exists [01:56] Treefire, you can mount the partition and have Amarok play the folder like it would any other folder. I'm not sure about Leopard. I would consult their support options [01:56] Ah [01:56] Okay [01:56] !mount | Treefire [01:56] Treefire: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter [01:56] So it's a leopard fault, not an ubuntu fault [01:56] That's kinda cool [01:57] What file system is the partition? [01:57] Uh... whatever standard mac osx filing system there is... I forget the name of it, kds+ or something [01:57] I'm a recent convert to anything unixbased [01:57] and i wasn't very technologically literate beforehand for that matter [01:57] apparently, Leopard is using ZFS [01:58] No manual entry for mkfs [01:58] ...? [01:58] Did I break it? [01:58] Wait, kubuntu can just plain old mount my music partition? [01:58] Rofl, wow [01:58] So I have no need to change its filing system [01:58] I can just keep it the way it is, so mac osx is happy [01:59] Treefire, if you can view the partition (/dev/sda1 or what ever) then you're good [01:59] and still be able to play from it in kubunku [01:59] Wow, that's cool guys [01:59] Thanks :D [01:59] I do something similar. I have all my music/videos on a 500GB USB hard drive (that is formatted to NTFS) [02:00] I was thinking a different format that both OSes could read would work [02:00] but the only thing I know anything about is fat16 and 32 [02:00] and i don't really want to make a fat16 partition on my hd [02:00] Can kubuntu read/write to NTFS yet? [02:01] Firefishe: yes it can [02:01] GNU+Linux can read/write to FAT file systems, can read NTFS native and with a bit of help, write to NTFS. Any of those are fine [02:01] !ntfs-3g | Firefishe [02:01] Firefishe: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

Any way I can mount my kubuntu home directory in mac osx? Or is that a question better asked of #macosx?

My brother's ZSNES audio gets silently discarded somewhere between ZSNES and ALSA unless I use the SDL output driver for libao.

[09:04] nvidia-glx-new [09:04] Daisuke_Ido: Thanks! [09:04] hi, I have the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website and somehow I managed to install nvidia-glx... now apt is complaining about conflicts and refuses to do anything. Is there a way to have apt pretend that the driver is not installed without it having to change anything on disk? [09:05] level1: no [09:05] fix it up properly [09:05] By the way, isn't it a bad idea for the package maintainers to call it nvidia-glx-new? because what about when NVIDIA releases the next set of drivers? They should have numbered it. [09:05] i can't see toolbar on my browser and other apps [09:05] i have done somethng with appearance [09:05] it won't show toolbar [09:06] :s [09:06] FSHero: that wont give it contextual difference [09:06] flaccid: fixing it properly means not fixing what aint broke! [09:06] level1: that doesn't make sense [09:06] level1: if it's not working, it's broke, that's what broke means [09:07] flaccid: the only thing that doesn't work on my system is apt... I don't see why I have to fsck up my driver set up to get apt working when its just apt being obstinate [09:07] flaccid: What do you mean? [09:08] level1: i don't know what that has to do with it. there is file conflicts here. pretty basic. its either manual or from package, not a combination [09:08] !doesntwork | level1 [09:08] level1: Doesn't work is a strong statement.

[09:08] we can't help if you are vague [09:08] how do i get my appearnce back ??? [09:08] flaccid: there are no file conflicts. Its just apt won't do anything because it thinks there are problems, but there is none [09:09] level1: it's you not doing it right - if you had installed through apt in the first place, this wouldn't be happening. [09:09] level1: don't see how you can conclude that. all this talk and you can't show us the apt error. what did you expect? [09:09] last time i saw apt lie was um.. never [09:10] dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so' with \ different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core', not allowed [09:10] is my question to hard to answer ?

[09:12] and change it back [09:13] i have. it doesnt work [09:13] * Daisuke_Ido facepalms [09:13] helpy: what toolbar is missing? [09:13] * Jucato is guessing it's not a toolbar at all [09:13] did you press "Strg+M"? [09:13] Jucato: his titlebars are missing. he changed "something" and isn't disclosing what that something is [09:13] the top toolbar [09:14] well dont you see on top right a x sign to close the window ? [09:14] and to maximize it or minimize it ? [09:14] if it's the one with the window title and minimize, maximize, close buttons [09:14] that's not a toolbar [09:14] i am not having those signs [09:14] yep that Jucato [09:14] that's your window border. [09:14] oh ok sorry :( [09:14] chances are you can't move windows either [09:14] yep i cant [09:14] are you using compiz-fusion (desktop effects)? [09:15] yep, and it doesnt have anything to do with it [09:15] of course it does [09:15] it was working fine with it before i tampered with appearance [09:15] lmfao [09:15] why do you think it wouldn't? [09:15] but it doesnt! [09:15] Compiz fusion is a window manager, it's the one responsible for drawing those window borders [09:15] helpy: your window manager crashed! [09:15] if window borders are gone, then there's something wrong with the window manager [09:15] so it does have something to do with compiz [09:16] yea and it was working before i changed settings in appearance [09:16] ok lets see [09:16] yea but it's still compiz that is not working. [09:16] compiz is working [09:16] try asking in #compiz-fusion what to do [09:16] and votes should be weighted according to test scores [09:16] I'm guessing, as maggo said, compiz crashed [09:16] helpy: so this only occurs with compiz on? [09:16] helpy: that happens sometimes when changing the window dekoration [09:17] it has NOTHING to do with compiz [09:17] helpy open a console and type emerald --replace & [09:17] helpy: how would you know? [09:17] because compiz was working fine with borders before i screwed up with apearance in system settings [09:18] helpy: how are you sure compiz is working *right now*!?"!? [09:18] helpy: that doesn't conclude anything at all. that is merely an assumption. so what you can do is do this kwin --replace and see if you get them back. [09:18] do you use kwin or ermerald as window-dekorator? [09:18] helpy: you might also want to see the wiki on compiz fusion which details loss of window decs [09:18] !compiz-fusion | helpy [09:18] helpy: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness.

[09:20] helpy: pastebin ps aux | grep kwin; ps aux | grep compiz please [09:20] you're the kind of person that p***es off tech support. there are steps that need to be gone through to determine the problem - 99% of the time, the user is WRONG [09:20] helpy: no. *you* don't understand. *It has something to do with compiz*!! whether you changed something in system settings that caused it not to work properly is irrelevant. it is compiz that isn't working properly. [09:20] Daisuke_Ido: yea but thats not good enough. [09:20] it's not good enough? [09:20] compiz is still good. [09:20] i can use effects [09:20] fine, figure it out yourself. don't come here for help and then whine when you get it [09:20] and short keyes [09:20] sure. but where are your borders? [09:20] that was nice Daisuke_Ido [09:21] helpy: changing the window-dekoration may result in a crash of emerald/kde-window-dekorator [09:21] that's part of copmiz too [09:21] thats something i need to figure out Jucato [09:21] this is all free and its not good enough :) [09:21] how to undo it maggo ? [09:21] hehe yea flaccid and theres nothing wrong with that. [09:21] * Jucato has pointed to #compiz-fusion [09:21] ppl like Daisuke_Ido so to miss the humor [09:21] yes there is.

[09:38] users who come for help then claim they know what the problem is and isn't always amuses me :) [09:38] :( [09:38] helpy: yes that was the second thing i asked you to do lol [09:38] is there a way to check for package updates from the command line?

[09:38] ok thank you [09:39] helpy: [18:18] helpy: that doesn't conclude anything at all. that is merely an assumption. so what you can do is do this kwin --replace and see if you get them back.

[09:39] yep, but trust me i was also flooded with all of you [09:40] i kinda flipped out [09:40] :( [09:40] there is always the scroll and logs [09:40] you were flooded with 4 people telling you to do the same thing at one point and you refused so I see flaccids point\ [09:40] so no need to worry, just take your time reading people's messages. like i just demonstrated if you had of done that with the first 2 things i asked, you would not of gone through any of that.. [09:41] helpy: now if you decide to run compiz again. keep in mind the problem is with that if it doesn't give you window decorations. also if you read the wiki link which i also showed you earlier it will tell you how to make sure you get window decorations in compiz-fusion on kde.. [09:42] flaccid he's gone mate [09:42] yeah, i did it for logging purposes [09:42] lol ok [09:42] and anyone else interested in reading my vent [09:43] are you in Aussie flaccid? [09:43] yep in sydney mate [09:43] ah right [09:43] noticed earlier when you pasted something your time stamp was exactly 2 hours behind mine [09:43] sorry had to reboot [09:44] got your point flaccid thanks :) === minhaaj is now known as helpy [09:44] no worries helpy [09:44] i'll just pm you my last response as it tells you why it occured in the first place etc. [09:44] i have just switched from windows [09:44] 2 days ago [09:45] and i have fallen in love with kubuntu [09:45] excellent [09:45] we all do eventually :D [09:45] someone know how to open .esp vector graphic files ... inkscape doesn't [09:45] yea its ages ahead of vista [09:46] my last OS that i have come to hate more than anything [09:46] hi all.. any java users/developers here using (k)ubuntu hardy?.. I seem to have a lot of crashes while running java programs.. (netbeans, maven compilation, etc).... [09:48] isn't openjdk still a werk in progress? [09:49] nainef: I think it is yes... [09:49] some parts are still not finished [09:49] is the normal jdk from sun still an option? [09:50] Yes it is. I found OpenJDK to be rubbish, threw compilation errors for perfectly valid Java. [09:50] nainef: why would'nt it be? I have installed jdk6.0 here... (by hand though) [09:51] kuil: I've been having problems with NetBeans and menubars, but everything else seems to be fine. [09:51] hmm.. .. netbeans just 'dissapears' on me [09:52] Did you install kubuntu-restricted-extras? [09:52] Pennycook: yes [09:52] that package is always the first one I install [09:53] kuil: OpenJDK is installed as a part of kubuntu-restricted-extras; even though you've got JDK6 installed there might be a few problems with conflicting jdk's and whatnot. [09:53] ah.. [09:53] * nainef smacks head...... [09:54] The idea behind openjdk is a great one but it still needs a lot of work [09:54] hopefully that's the problem... [09:54] kuil: Run java -version. [09:54] nainef: I agree [09:54] Pennycook: that returned my 'manually' installed jdk version [09:54] java version "1.6.0_0 [09:55] 6 [09:55] but openjdk is far from perfect as I understood :( [09:55] hopefully this will work.. wait and see .. thx! [09:56] Yeah, I can only recommend getting rid of OpenJDK [09:57] sun java is the only 1 i end up trusting and even then i get the odd exception on stable apps which is very annoying (v6) [09:57] is there a way to get google toolbar working with firefox in kubuntu ? [09:57] flaccid: 'the odd exception' ? [09:58] yeah java exception [09:58] flaccid: where java just crashes? [09:59] no um i guess you don't know what an exception is in computing [09:59] kuil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling [10:00] flaccid: I do know java (and exception handling).. just don't understand your problem with jdk6 (in coparison with jdk 5?) [10:00] minhaaj what do you want the toolbar for exactly? [10:01] there is a search bar in the top right of firefox in Kubuntu and it searches google directly [10:01] kuil: it was throwing exceptions on some routines that it shouldn't. i compared it to java5 and other platforms. [10:01] java5 and other platforms did the same .java fine [10:01] flaccid: ah.. [10:01] we have skipped java5 here.. moved from 1.4 to 6 [10:01] which makes you throw something out the window or at least want to [10:02] I understand [10:02] well on the desktop im thinking stuff java now and simply build for different archs/platforms. days are different now [10:04] flaccid: it's hard to move an existing application to a different platform though [10:04] yep. i wonder if someone has thought about making some sort of java to c++ interpreter/wrapper === yacc_ is now known as yacc [10:20] Hi. there's something wich conflicts with the serial port. In fact, when i ifdown eth0, the serial port goes sensibly faster.. but NOT as faster as i expect. so, the serial port conflicts with something else... how can i check that ? thnk [10:25] i just set up a virtual desktop with webcams of places around the world which i love. at the moment i have them in several konqueror windows, but was wondering if there was a better application for the purpose, especially one where i could set the update frequence, since many cams stop streaming the jpeg after a while [10:26] hi [10:27] anyone know if ftp can upload a file in the background? [10:28] hi === ircleuser is now known as asdf === balazs is now known as castaway [10:32] why is the copy and paste so utterly usless on kubuntu [10:32] ?? [10:33] mooper: what's useless about it ? [10:34] Actually I fixed it. I was trying to copy something from Adobe reader to an email in thunderbird and it wouldnt go into clipper. I cleared the clipbead history and it worked [10:35] JackWinter, so its not that usless, merely annoying [10:35] mooper: ok, my self i didn't really have any probs with it sofar ;) [10:38] Morning folks! [10:38] Morining Hazal [10:39] I gotta say... im LOVING kubuntu! :D [10:39] did you manage to get compiz to work? [10:39] steve555: Me? [10:39] Yeah [10:40] steve555: Heheh, i din't realise i way trying. I think you may have me mixed up :) [10:40] tis evening for me [10:40] but morning [10:40] Yeah I think I have,I'm sorry [10:41] steve555: No problems mate! [10:41] I'm glad you like kubuntu anyway. [10:42] just switched from Windows? [10:42] hi, is there a command line to ftp upload a file over? just like rsync file server://location/ -avP ? [10:42] I haven't personally,I'm still dual-booting with Windows XP Professional. [10:42] ah right [10:43] I have just switched from windows on my laptop [10:43] the machine i use on a daily basis [10:43] needhelp are you trying to ftp a file to an ftp server you have a username and password for? [10:43] my server is Ubuntu [10:43] but i can avoid doing much on the server so i didn't really learn much [10:43] Now that i have no choice but to use *nix im finding it really really good [10:44] HollowPoint: yes [10:44] my home machine is Kubuntu, my work laptop was Kubuntu until my boss made me put Windows back on because he doesn't understand Linux and I have several servers on this home machine in the form of VMs [10:44] needhelp have you tried download filezilla from the repos? [10:44] HollowPoint: There is not much turning back here. I removed my "factory reset" windows partition :D [10:45] lol so did I on my Work Laptop, just re-installed Windows from scratch when I needed to, factory reset partitions are usually crap anyway, HP by any chance? [10:45] HollowPoint: I have filezilla..but is there a command line which do the job? [10:45] How do I autologin an account [10:46] HollowPoint: IBM. and i have to say... the factory reset on this lappy was REALLY good too [10:46] lol [10:46] press a button wait a while, windows is back with all drivers ect working [10:46] although this lappy cost me £2500 about 2 years ago [10:47] needhelp it should just be ftp /path/to/file ser.ver.add.ress username password [10:47] if you need more pointers just type man ftp in the command line, that will give you the manual page [10:48] is it an anonymous login? [10:48] steve555 no he has a username and password for it [10:48] Haza1 sounds like a nice laptop mate [10:49] Its still running pretty well. I think the resolution had something to do with the price [10:50] needhelp type ftp ser.ver.add.ress and press enter in console, it should give you a username prompt [10:50] from there is relatively easy if it's a linux box that the ftp server is running on === ibrahim__ is now known as Opai [10:53] needhelp did it work? [10:54] I think you might need samba as a "go-between" between linux and windows.I'm pretty sure you need something that will bridge between the two different platforms.That is my guess anyway. [10:54] huh? [10:59] This might be a silly question. but is there an easy way to define ODBC conncetions to MS ACCESS .mdb files in Kubuntu? [11:00] define ODBC connections for what reason? From what program?

[11:50] I was reading: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=354095 [11:50] Could I just confirm: should I run kdesudo konqueror and then literally _copy_ the contents of / to the partition I want the Kubuntu to be on? [11:53] FSHero: yeah if its not in use ie. use livecd. you also have to make sure you copy all the files (hidden files included) [11:53] actually i can't be 100% sure but [11:53] flaccid: can I use Knoppix 5.3.? [11:54] flaccid: * Knoppix 5.3.1 [11:54] not sure if that will retain unix perm ids correctly but i guess it should. i would usually tar [11:55] FSHero: yeah [11:55] id probaby google a bit more and ask in #ubuntu and #linux . could be something im missing [11:55] flaccid: ok thx [11:55] flaccid: I shall do so later [12:03] Hello.

[14:11] maybe pull the package and install it with dpkg? [14:12] maltedik^live, i'll try that thanks [14:12] dpkg -i package-blalanaldfda.deb [14:14] I set the KDE sound system to ALSA and even rebooted the computer but it still doesn't work, with or without running X [14:15] i suppose I could get it through packages.ubuntu.com but then I have to manually get all files I need. can't I just tell aptitude somehow to use the intrepid repository for the strigi packages?

[14:44] i don't think so [14:44] But with my new CPU I can't run modprobe coretemp. [14:45] vista is so ########### [14:45] x_link: you dont need to do that [14:45] thompa: When I installed lm-sensors it stod that I had to put in it87 and coretemp and the end. [14:45] But with this new E8400 it only says that I have to do modprobe it87, not coretemp. [14:45] Hi there. My problem is: I want to delete a file. Sounds simple? As root I issued "rm file_id.diz", result: "rm: cannot remove `file_id.diz': Operation not permitted" [14:46] These are the mount options: [14:46] The thing is that I NEED coretemp for ksensors to be able to show my CPU-temp.

[14:51] x_link: its installed already, just add the new worksheet [14:51] I will try it. [14:51] Only question remaining, how did that flag get there. Maybe some problem with the windows-ext2fsd... [14:51] thompa: It doesn't show any temps. [14:52] when the bios doesn't recognize an hard drive as bootable, grub must be reinstalled?

I tried to kill the process ID but it didnt kill anything [16:50] other than that, i love kubuntu [16:51] genii: oo, so u suggest to remove the swap file [16:51] nosrednaekim: My first thought is he's on kde4 and removed one of the systray widgets or something, causing every time konsole opens to make a new instance resulting in overflow since to tray shows any app running. But I could be way off. === tburdick is now known as bfrog [16:51] Vermux: Yes. [16:51] is www.debian-administration.org down? [16:52] how do i check which kde i am using ?

[19:42] it displeases [19:43] !upgrade [19:43] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [19:44] nosrednaekim, yes. This is where I am looking. There is nothing on CLI instructions. [19:44] man man [19:44] tdn [19:44] terminal man man [19:44] was [19:44] or man help [19:45] or man "application" [19:45] arthurarchnix: he doesnt know, because hes responding to some other channel === jabrams is now known as jonny_eh === jonny_eh is now known as jabrams [19:45] dru, ? [19:45] (application refers to the program you would like to know more about from the cli [19:45] ) [19:46] tdn [19:46] what are you trying to do [19:46] dru, please read in the buffer above. This is about upgrading from CLI. I know man pages, thank you. [19:46] you're probably better off timid/modest but as you're sring you may be less picky [19:47] apt-get install dist-upgrade ...after you have edited apt/source/list* to contain the hardy repository....if you dox installed then it should go pretty smothlynt have [19:48] *dont have x [19:48] tdn: follow "network upgrade for ubuntuservers" [19:48] to edit the sources file,try sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [19:49] change all *gutsy to *hardy ....pretty simple actually [19:49] :P [19:50] nosrednaekim, ok. I thought of that one, but it would be nice if it said something like "command line only upgrade". There is nothing on the page that indicates that this procedure will be CLI only. [19:51] then :apt-get dist-upgrade....do your normal updates after that and cross your fingers so nothing goes wrong [19:52] nosrednaekim, also, this is not a Ubuntu Server. This is regular Ubuntu, installed on a server. I would like to change it to Ubuntu Server. How do I do this. I am aware that the difference might only be some packages that are installed/removed, but I would still like to know how to do it then. [19:52] mre was i right or not dammit [19:53] tdn....dude server is just a live minimal edition without the fancy gui ...its exsactly the same as a full cd [19:54] with the alternative cd you can also install a "non X" system .....but certain packages like ssh mysql or other server software are not set up by default [19:55] server edition contains server software .... and yes as usual non gui ...:D [19:55] tdn: the difference is really just the kernel [19:55] nosrednaekim, thank you. [19:55] nosrednaekim, for the info on the kernel. [19:56] nosrednaekim, but I still would like some instructions on how to change to it. [19:56] nosrednaekim, if this is possible. [19:56] tdn: just install the server kernel [19:57] nosrednaekim, how do I remove everything Ubuntu Desktop related? [19:57] rtfm [19:57] I don't know really....

[20:32] i just installed 8.04 of kubuntu with kde3. on desktop effects, i have it set to custom. i also have "advanced desktop effects settings" installed but when i change the settings on compizconfig (e.g. wobbly windows), the effects don't happen. why not? [20:33] with compiz? [20:33] what do you mean? [20:34] what effect do you want gottabeandrew ? [20:34] ok, compiz stuff i have installed: [20:34] advanced desktop effects settings (ccsm) [20:34] desktop effects [20:34] some effects don't work if wobbly is enabled [20:35] none of the effects work, i want them all work [20:35] make sure none is blocking that [20:35] they're not [20:35] none of the effects work === Wolf is now known as sandor [20:35] did you change appearance of your desktop ? [20:35] or did you type kwin --replace ? [20:35] no [20:35] if i need a package which is not updated in kubuntu but in debian is, may I just install it? [20:36] what is the file ext Carutsu ? .deb ? [20:36] !compiz [20:36] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [20:36] .deb yes [20:36] read this gottabeandrew [20:36] gottabeanview,can I ask which drivers are you using? [20:36] Carutsu: you can install any package with .deb [20:37] no, i don't have a clue [20:37] minhaaj: ok, thanks I was worried I might break something [20:38] I'll remove the previous library just in case (it's an update) [20:38] Can I ask which graphics card you've got? [20:38] nvidia geforce go 7400 [20:38] gottabeandrew type compiz --replace [20:39] :) [20:39] ok, i typed it. now what [20:39] hit return [20:39] now compiz should be taking over enabling the effects [20:39] lol, i know, i did that too [20:39] ok, i'll give it a go [20:39] nope, still not working [20:40] you sure your drivers are installed ? [20:40] you should ask that in #compiz [20:40] everything is installed [20:41] no idea. have you checked the effects that you want in ccsm ? [20:41] I'm assuming you haven't got either the nvidia binary,or the propriety driver from the kubuntu repo's.I would try and install the latter via adept first. [20:42] i didn't have to do that with ubuntu [20:42] i cannot install it, the dependencies are not met... it ask for libc6, which I have installed so I guess the problem is that is outdated, I'm afraid I'll get into a dependency hell, is it safe to just add the debian repostory? (for the record I'm trying to download libclucene0.9.20 which i need to compile KDE4.1) [20:43] Carutsu: better compile libclucene manually [20:43] ok, no offense but i'm just trying kubuntu out, this is the second chance i gave it and it's pretty rubbish at the minute with various things not working properly. i think what i'm gonna do at this point is give up on it and go back to ubuntu. i like the ability to hide the menubar and make it different lengths at each end. does anybody know if i could do that in ubuntu? then it would be fine. [20:44] oh, and can i install that clipboard program in ubuntu? thats good. and the notes program. [20:44] knotes and klipper [20:44] yeah... there is glipper... and tomboy might work [20:44] ook, thats cool [20:44] what about changing the taskbar so its not full length? [20:45] have you updated kubuntu's packages steve ? [20:45] err [20:45] gottabeandrew: [20:45] maybe he is missing dependencies [20:45] dunno about that [20:45] oh, and i like the login screen [20:45] and the ability to change that [20:45] if i could have that stuff or similar stuff in ubuntu then i'm set [20:45] err, is the update question for me? [20:48] right, going now [20:48] bawwwy!! === SSJ is now known as SSJ_GZ [20:49] I'm thinking about getting a lap top, I'd like to be able to run kubuntu with it, but I'm not sure if the wireless card in it will work, which is the main reason why I want the laptop. Is there a site where I can look it up? [20:49] It's an acer T2370 if that makes any difference. [20:49] I googled it but ... well I figured I'd check in here. [20:50] T2370 is an Intel CPU [20:51] did Acer really choose the same thing for a model name? [20:51] anyway, just get the Kubuntu Live CD, boot off it, and see what works. [20:51] oh ok my bad then. [20:51] the-erm: wireless card works smoothly [20:51] atleast mine did. [20:52] if it can detect your eth0 it can detect wireless too [20:52] minhaaj: are you sure ... what kind of laptop did you have. === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [20:52] dell inspiron 6400 with ati radeon X1400 [20:52] Every time I've had didn't work quite right. But that was a usb wireless card. [20:52] compiz works with even ati [20:52] minhaaj: that's not true. the wired and wireless chipsets are usually very different. [20:52] you can also make sure it works when you go to buy laptop [20:52] the-erm: try a live session. [20:53] mneptok: dunno, in my network it shows both are enabled [20:53] and i did nothing. [20:53] I'm not too sure if they'd like me poping in linux and booting from it. [20:53] kubuntu is the most smooth installation i've ever had of linux [20:53] who ? [20:53] minhaaj: because both wired and wireless chipsets have drivers [20:53] circuit city. [20:53] dunno mneptok no complaints for me though :) [20:54] you dont have to tell them. test it yourself [20:54] i am sure they have trial periods after sale [20:54] Oh you mean after I get home. [20:54] :) you can get another one if that didnt work. [20:54] yep [20:54] most new laptops are compatible with linux [20:54] infact if you want, you can buy dell's new series that ships with ubuntu [20:54] Unfortunately I'm not one of these people that returns things. If I don't want it I don't buy it. [20:55] the-erm: you don't have a laptop yet? [20:55] If I want it I buy it and live with the decision unless the product is so crappy ... [20:55] unfortunately there is no other way you can test linux on it before you buy it :) [20:55] mneptok: I haven't needed one, they are vanity items. [20:55] minhaaj: Unfortunately, whilst its true lots of things "work" with Kubuntu, they don't necessarily work as well as you'd like them to. And in terms of testing before you buy, you can use Google. [20:55] you can test live cd at shop, no ? [20:55] hi all [20:55] i am not buying anything Pennycook. its the-erm === minhaaj is now known as helpy [20:56] the-erm: make Intel CPU, grpahics, and wireless a priority. look for the 3945 and 4965 Intel mobile platforms. [20:56] I know, but I was talking to you. [20:56] i know what you told me :) [20:56] i have just switched from windows, and kubuntu is like a dream come true. [20:56] using KDE3 at the moment and Hardy -- Kopete kinda refuses to mark my task bar in Kicker (running kwin as window manager)... :/ [20:56] Linux is still pretty complex but its certainly worth learning and your time [20:57] and the notifications are set to mark the taskbar entry [20:57] and other apps don't seem to have this problem.

[21:35] navetz_: the Gui might be an easier way to try to get it to work [21:35] minhaaj: is there a blue button in your system tray? [21:35] jouellette: no, I have never been able to get krandrtray to work. [21:36] jouellette: configure didn't spit out any errors. i'll see what happens when i run make install. it will take a while for make to finish running though [21:36] navetz_: you might need to setup your display drivers correctly, what video card are you using? [21:36] nope [21:36] only konversation [21:38] jouellette: intel i810 [21:39] navetz_: if you go to your Monitor & Display settings, what's the driver used?

[21:43] just run "superkaramba" [21:43] open konsole and type in superkaramba and press enter [21:44] minhaaj: alt-F2 then type supekaramba [21:44] * superkaramba [21:45] it doesnt work [21:45] jouellette: i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/16969/ when i run sudo checkinstall [21:46] minhaaj: sudo aptitude install superkaramba [21:46] Ok. Here is the descriptions: Its a intel card. At first it didnt work when i installed ubuntu (no signal on screen) had to use VESA. Then, i down-clocked my motherboard (its integrated gfx) to original values, and suddenly it worked. I got it working with the intel driver, everything was fine. But then suddenly it didnt work anymore. i dont know if i did anything, i think not, but maybe a system update or something like that. This [21:46] time the computer wasnt dead with no signal to screen. but the screen now flashes repeatably and says "out of range". when i CTRL ALT F2 it goes into console though. everything works nice in Vista. So my guess is that a system update of the driver fucked up or something, but i dont really know. so now im using ubuntu with VESA driver... boring! help? [21:46] ok [21:46] minhaaj: run that in konsole [21:46] btw i dont get the syntax of linux commands [21:46] i can use sudo apt-get install superkaramba too ? [21:46] yup [21:46] :) [21:46] is there a good book on ubuntu ? [21:47] wtf! alexander [21:47] minhaaj: try ubuntu documentation. [21:47] wtf! [21:47] ScorpKing-Laptop ??? [21:47] alexander: do you see the splash screen? [21:47] it isn't very coherent prodigy [21:47] alexander: please watch your language [21:47] its good for specific problems, but it doesnt give starter-to-pro tour of linux [21:47] ScorpKing-Laptop: i see the loading bar... until the login should have come. then it starts flashing ! [21:48] ScorpKing-Laptop: your's ain't all that much better :P [21:48] minhaaj: oh. i thing there are some real books, try the amazon.com [21:48] * ScorpKing-Laptop puts nosrednaekim in a box.. [21:48] wtf! <=== right nosrednaekim [21:48] XD [21:48] :D [21:48] i'd go with torrents prodigy. [21:48] :) [21:48] alexander: the resolution settings seems to be out [21:48] my language?? :P [21:49] so... I guess no one is having any problems with kopete? [21:49] ScorpKing-Laptop: yeah... how do i fix fix that? it should be 1920X1600 [21:49] nope [21:49] there are alot of messengers if you want to switch Ralesk [21:49] minhaaj: i think that is illegal. those books cost, if you download them over torrents, it is illegal [21:49] I don't [21:49] try apt get manager [21:49] pidgin sucks, all the alternatives suck too :/ [21:49] alexander: open konsole and run sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.broken then reboot and the file should be created again [21:50] i dont believe in piracy and copyright bs [21:50] :) [21:50] my humble apologies to all the developers, but eh. [21:50] where's the bot today? [21:50] alexander: PErhaps back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf then run the reconfigure -phigh choosing some lower resolution for the top setting. [21:50] an average book is say about $50 on amazon [21:50] anyway, kopete refuses to flash my taskbar for new entries today [21:50] minhaaj: me neither, but this is not the place of discusing that ;) [21:50] ScorpKing-Laptop: You need the ! before the factoid name :) [21:50] only legal things in official support irc [21:50] for some people its half month's expense [21:50] !wtf [21:50] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:50] for example me :) [21:50] haha [21:50] * ScorpKing-Laptop is blond [21:50] hehe [21:51] :) [21:51] minhaaj: i live on 150-200$ a month:) [21:51] alexander: The driver name should likely be either: intel or: i810 [21:51] heh slightly richer than me :) [21:51] genii: it used to work with intel [21:51] where you from ? [21:51] so i guess the resolution is the problem [21:51] serbia [21:51] great. [21:51] yoU? [21:52] Pakistan [21:52] !ot [21:52] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [21:52] do you see questions around ScorpKing-Laptop ? [21:52] alexander: "out of range" normally can also mean video card is putting out some setting the monitor just physically can't do [21:52] i would spend less, but i live in belgrade now, renting a place untill i finnish studies. [21:52] minhaaj: i'm trying to get there ;) [21:52] heh atleast dont stop introductions then [21:53] i'm trying to compile soething but get http://paste.ubuntu.com/16969/ when i run sudo checkinstall [21:53] yes [21:53] im using DVI [21:53] nothing wrong with that. ubuntu is humanity, so let humans interact :) [21:53] oh ok prodigy [21:53] i am almost done with my MBA here too. [21:53] something* [21:53] how can i make the intel graphics driver to output a safe resolution for me? (not using vesa) [21:53] btw i am getting kde4 .. would that effect my kde3 ? [21:53] any problems ? [21:53] great, minhaaj ... i am finishing a bachelor degree IT management... [21:54] cool. [21:54] oh [21:54] I teach and collaborate online too :) [21:54] minhaaj: i do not think so, they suppose to be separate. [21:54] and by the way [21:54] my graphics does work with VGA [21:54] how can I watch an encrypted DVD with Kaffeine? [21:54] oh ok, how do i uninstall kde3 ? [21:54] i think i do to. [21:54] just not DVI... (but it used to) [21:54] Carutsu: use vlc [21:54] hi [21:54] i tried it crashed... [21:54] vlc is awesome [21:54] minhaaj: from adept. [21:55] ok [21:55] alexander: I just told you. Back up the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf first. Then to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and choose some saner resolution. If you want to change also the driver and other stuf omit the -phigh part [21:55] Carutsu: if it does not play, install kubuntu restricted extras... [21:55] is there any way to add 32-bit dev packages in a 64 bit system? [21:55] i think it's unrelated [21:55] hey, where can I go in kde to find the amount of ram my computer is using? [21:55] i stand by this laptop and now it's acting weird... [21:56] genii: that doesn't work on hardy [21:56] genii: it doesnt work for me. i only get keyboard settings etc.. but no graphics... [21:57] i have the newest ubuntu [21:57] nosrednaekim: No? PErhaps kxgenerator still works then? [21:57] * genii wonders when this change happened [21:57] never heard of that... [21:57] genii: with hardy and xorg7.3 [21:57] ciao [21:58] alexander: You could try the gui way, by installing kxgenerator. You can modify xorg settings from it. [21:58] ok [21:59] applications --> add/remove ? [21:59] alexander: Yes. Or otherwise by apt-get like: sudo apt-get install kxgenerator [22:00] oh sorry [22:00] im in a wrong channel [22:00] i have ubuntu, not kubuntu [22:00] I need to leave in order to depart this workplace and arrive at my other workplace on time. I'll be back online in about 40 minutes [22:01] alexander: s'ok [22:03] i tried sudo apt-get install xgenerator -didnt work. kxgenerator worked. but i have gnome so it didnt show up === linux_ is now known as Guest43768 [22:07] How could I create a mime tipe? [22:07] I asociated *tbt files (tablatures) to open with wine and a program [22:08] now they open right, but I always get an error in konqueror saying, "could not find mimetipe application/octet-stream" [22:17] what package has /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/g++.conf ? [22:19] heeeeeeeey [22:19] hi node_ [22:19] !find qmake [22:19] File qmake found in cdbs, kdeartwork-theme-icon, kdeartwork-theme-icon-kde4, kdevelop, kdevelop-data (and 6 others) [22:19] ubuntu is great guys [22:19] i just love it [22:20] any of u guys know where i can find a progy that makes me surf annonyomosly? [22:20] ScorpKing-Laptop: [22:20] [geebee:michael]~> dpkg -S /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/g++.conf [22:20] libqt4-dev: /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/g++.conf [22:21] nosrednaekim: thats handy. thanks [22:21] any of u guys know where i can find a progy that makes me surf annonyomosly? [22:21] nosrednaekim: tis makefile gives me loads of errors - http://paste.ubuntu.com/16978/ maybe installing that will help [22:23] node_: out of curiosity, is there a reason you need to be annonymous? [22:23] hi all is there a program available similar to 'Dragon Dictate'? [22:24] !build [22:24] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [22:24] nosrednaekim: aptitude search libqt4-dev gives me "i A libqt4-dev - Qt 4 development files" what package has qmake? [22:24] libqt4-dev I think [22:24] ah yes [22:24] dad: you mean dragon naturally speaking? [22:25] sorry yes [22:25] there are dictation programs probably [22:25] of that one in particular and of that high callibur, no clue [22:26] I think festival is speech synthesys, not recognition... [22:26] jhutchins_wk , nosrednaekim: i've been at this for hours but still get http://paste.ubuntu.com/16982/ when i try to compile qtstalker 0.36 [22:26] jhutchins_wk: dragon naturally speaking is dictation, not recognition afaik [22:26] any ideas or pointer? [22:26] Anyone here using HD-DVD in ubuntu? [22:27] searched adept for dictate and voice but no joy thanx for your response have to trawl through google then [22:27] coreymon77: Same thing. [22:27] dad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_speech_recognition_software [22:27] Says you can run dragon via wine, and they're working on OS recognition. [22:28] jhutchins_wk: not really, recognition is usually meant for system control with speech programs, dictation is purely for speech to text [22:28] thanx youve given me some where to start [22:28] coreymon77: Recognition is the first step - where you put the recognised text is a second layer. [22:28] true [22:30] dad: general rule for finding linux apps, 1. try apt, 2. check google/wikipedia [22:33] thanx coreymon77 [22:33] new to this [22:33] dad: another soul salvaged from the dark side :P [22:37] not quite there yet but getting closer each day [22:40] Anyone using HD-DVD? [22:41] neofax: i thought that was a dead format by now [22:41] Not when you have movies in that format. Plus, most movies are cheap now. [22:42] The ubuntu help wiki says you can get it to work on edgy. I was thinking it would be included in the kernel by now. [22:45] does anyone know how to find out what the max virtual resolution you video card will support with xrandr? [22:50] navetz: xrandr will support what your card is telling it along with the edid of your monitor. However, you can push it past the edid of your monitor if your monitor does not tell X correctly. [22:53] navetz: When you say virtual resolution, you mean where the desktop is larger than the window, right? [22:53] jhutchins_wk: yes , I want to use xrandr [22:54] xrandr is a resizing tool. [22:54] navetz: That didn't answer the question. I think what jhutchins_wk is asking is the ability to show what your card can handle and everything else offscreen and you can "scroll" to the other portions of the screen. [22:55] Right, that's a virtual desktop or virtual resolution. [22:55] neofax: oh ok rightm yes I want to know what my maximum virtual resolution is [22:55] For instance, I can have a 1280x1024 desktop and view it with a 640x480 window/resolution. [22:55] navetz: Theoretically, you can have any virtual resolution, but you may need to scroll a while [22:56] There has to be a limit, probably system RAM though. [22:56] kubuntu keeps freezing randomly. anybody have any idea why? [22:56] What is happening is X is only drawing what your card can handle until you scroll and it then draws that portion of the screen. [22:56] Essentially the same thing as multiple desktops, just different access method. [22:56] Broadcom: maybe your nick has something to do with it? [22:56] nosrednaekim: nope [22:57] Broadcom: Are you using firefox 3 b5? [22:57] Broadcom: Anything in particular that seems to trigger it? [22:57] neofax: i was for a while, but stoped [22:57] nope [22:57] jhutchins_wk, neofax: I am trying to set up dual screen monitors, I think that my video card cannot support a max virtual resolution that I am setting, It works for lower resolutions but not for a resolution this high. Also I have plenty of ram, (I just bought it) [22:57] Have you tried looking in /var/log/messages? [22:58] navetz: What is the resolution you are trying? [22:58] navetz: Also, please post your xorg.conf at pastebin. === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [23:00] ubottu: dual-head | navetz [23:00] navetz: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [23:00] neofax: I am trying maximum 1680 x 1850, I am putting my new 22" above my laptop monitor. Also it works when I use a virtual resolution of 1280*1600, but then my new 22" monitor has a ugly resolution. 1 sec to post my xorg [23:00] navetz: USE PASTEBIN! [23:00] neofax: trying that, cant figure out where there startup info starts [23:00] jhutchins_wk: I will [23:01] jhutchins_wk: line 94 [23:01] http://pastebin.com/d5000e697 [23:02] pastebin.com/m552a6883 [23:02] that is right before it crashed [23:04] Broadcom,I think it could your graphics card,I had a similar problem a few days ago.Previously,I was wondering why both my Kubuntu and Windows was locking up after an hour or so.I solved it by shutting down the system,opening the case,taking out the graphics card,and putting the graphics card back in again.The problem had gone away for me after that. [23:04] steve555: hmm, im not sure how comfortable i am with doing that. were you getting those errors? [23:04] does anyone know where the logs go when you do xrandr [23:05] /var/log ? [23:05] navetz: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:05] neofax: ah ok thanks. [23:07] navetz: I am not that great with xinerama, but by cloning, aren't you essentially making a copy of the laptop screen to the 22" monitor? Or does it put the screen above the laptop and incorporate it as one smooth screen? [23:08] neofax: by cloning, I am able to see both screens at the same time when my laptop starts up. Then because of the virtaul line, I can execute the command xrandr --output VGA --above LVDS to make my 22" go ontop of my laptop screen. [23:09] I wasn't getting any errors as such,as both the dessktops(kubuntu and windows)just totally froze on me.I couldn'nt move the mouse or input the keyboard,I couldn't even do a alt+ctrl+del.I had to either press the reset switch several times,or do a complete hard shutdown with the power switch and wait a few minutes. [23:09] neofax: it works for a virtual line of 1280 * 1600, but the my 22" uses a resolution of 1280*800 [23:10] http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=705267&page=4 look at spaetz's comment any idea what i should do? [23:10] navetz: That is what I thought. I think the problem is the 1680 lines of horizontal resolution. It may be a xinerama thing. I will check google. [23:10] neofax: hum ok, do you think that may be to big? [23:12] Broadcom: That is the fix if you are running a imac [23:13] neofax: im on a Powerbook, But i dont get the fix [23:13] neofax: humm: Virtual screen is limited to 2048x2048 for intel, [23:14] navetz: there is a way to fix that [23:14] greendingbat: how? [23:14] navetz: all virtual machine emulators use a virtual tool kit thing [23:14] it makes sure that the res of the VM matches that of the host [23:15] what emulator are you using? [23:15] greendingbat: humm ok. I am using xrandr [23:15] k, well, go to the menu, usually under the virtual machine tab [23:15] look for something that says install virtal tools or something like that [23:16] it installs in the guest OS [23:16] a VM emulator i found that works really well is VMware server [23:16] greendingbat: I think we may be misunderstanding eachother [23:16] it's free and you can get it here [23:16] www.vmware.com [23:16] xrandr is not a virtual machine! It's a video control utility! [23:16] greendingbat: this is not for a virtual machine, it is for my desktop to be able to dualscreen. [23:17] X Rotate and Resize! [23:17] !info xrandr [23:17] Package xrandr does not exist in hardy [23:17] ohhhh [23:17] i see [23:17] !find xrandr [23:17] Found: libxrandr-dev, libxrandr2, libxrandr2-dbg [23:17] :) thanks though. [23:17] no prob [23:17] im running kubuntu in a VM [23:17] didn't want to have to reformat the comp to install [23:18] I have to restart X, brb === Broadcom is now known as BCM43 [23:19] what does xrandr do? [23:20] and why does it not exist in the latest ver of Kubuntu? [23:21] !find mozilla [23:21] humm ok I lied I think [23:21] I use to have my old crt monitor plugged in a dualscreening [23:21] Found: libmono-mozilla0.1-cil, liferea, mozilla-devscripts, mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail, totem-mozilla (and 87 others) [23:21] I just got my new 22" and i plugged it in and dualscreened without restarting X and it worked. [23:21] I cannot get it to work again [23:21] and I cannot get it to go 1680 1050 resoltuion [23:21] ohhhh [23:22] trying to dual-screen w/ linux? [23:22] interesting [23:22] i was not aware that kubuntu supported dualscreen [23:22] greendingbat: it is getting better. [23:22] on second thought, i guess it could, just would need some extra software [23:24] i am going to restart my computer now, brb [23:24] navetz: OK, check out these two sites: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4003194&postcount=584 and http://fvwm.lair.be/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2060&view=previous [23:24] neofax: alright thanks [23:24] These basically say you will need to add the horizontal and vertical res and set your virtual to that. [23:25] neofax: oh I see, I don't have a mode for "1680*1050" makes sense. Brb 1 min [23:25] However, here is where things get strange. You can use a MegedFb setting and have the laptop run at its optimal res and the 22" at its so you wouldn't need to scroll anything, it would just fit. [23:26] where do i file a bug for a ppc on kubuntu? [23:26] navetz: What are the optimal res's for the laptop and the 22" [23:26] BCM43: you pretty much don't [23:26] BCM43: Launchpad [23:26] PPC is no longer supported [23:26] ok, thanks [23:26] neofax: man thanks a lot, ill brb in min, also the optimal rez for the laptop is 1280*800 and for 22" is 1680*1050 [23:26] if you're using 6.06, then you can use launchpad [23:27] navetz: So, your virtual res should be set at min 3760x1850 [23:27] oh, ok, im on 8.04 [23:27] i guess im up the river without support [23:27] hello all...i've installed KDE4 on ubuntu 8.04 on my tablet. my apt/sources.list has all the ubuntu sources, no kubuntu sources...are there kubuntu-specific sources? [23:27] ntno [23:27] nwtechguy: nope [23:27] navetz: Sorry, I mean 1280x1850 [23:28] nwtechguy: no, they use the same repos [23:28] thanks [23:31] neofax: I think you mean 1680 * 1850 [23:31] there is in adept i686 optimised libgl1-mesa-swx11. should i install that one? [23:31] 1280x1850? [23:31] instead of normal? [23:31] hello everyone [23:31] #conky [23:31] is that even a real resolution? [23:32] what? [23:32] whats the question [23:32] ah, i see now [23:32] i may be able to be of assistance [23:32] navetz: Yes, that is what I meant. [23:32] virtual, spanning [23:32] nevermind :D [23:33] connor: I am trying to dualscreen on my 22" acer and my laptop with xrandr and a virtual line in my xorg.

[23:33] how slow is it [23:34] not too much. [23:34] connor: It is not working, but I think we might have a solution so I am gonna restart x and come back.

[23:34] no I don't [23:35] brb [23:35] ok [23:36] humm that did not work :( [23:36] sucks [23:36] i cant switch desktops [23:36] ahh i managed to turn on my laptop screen though. [23:37] But the resolution is messed up :S [23:37] how could you not turn on your laptop screen [23:37] well [23:37] I used xrandr --output LVDS --auto [23:37] if my resolution ever gets messed up, there is an auto adjust button my monitor that fits the screen perfectly in resolution [23:38] connor: but I am trying to dualscreen [23:38] i was just saying :V [23:38] if i had ubuntu on my dad's laptop [23:38] i would totally help you [23:38] ubuntu on a 52 inch lcd tv [23:38] that would be SWEET [23:39] connor: yup [23:39] hmm [23:39] i may be able to help [23:39] idunno yet [23:39] what exactly is happening?

[23:41] explain what is happening [23:42] it is a notifier i dont want [23:42] it appears, a green bulb comes up [23:43] minhaaj: and? [23:43] i want to get rid of i [23:43] it [23:44] you want to get rid of notifications that there may be important updates you need to install? [23:44] bright [23:44] no no [23:44] you dont get it. its a bug [23:44] i'm not doing this again [23:44] :s [23:44] minhaaj: wait... it appears as a window in the corner of your screen? [23:44] Its a bug? [23:45] yea its not a program [23:45] it doesnt open up [23:45] i have to kill it everytime [23:45] minhaaj: thats a compiz bug [23:45] again ? [23:45] compiz causes a ton of bugs :P [23:45] I got it working!!!!! [23:45] why do ppl use compiz :s [23:45] hazza!!! [23:46] minhaaj: cause its pretty :P [23:46] hehe [23:46] can't it run normally without screwing up like george bush [23:47] apropos compiz: which packages are installed by the Kubuntu Desktop-Effects-Dialogue (K-Menue > System Settings > Desktop Effects)? [23:47] I want to remove them. [23:48] haha ! I now have dualscreen with my 22" and compiz spinning cubes and everything awesome [23:48] man thanks for all the help guys. [23:48] :) [23:48] axel: justa sec, let me check [23:48] nie [23:48] wait [23:48] nosrednaekim: OK. Thanks! [23:48] spinning desktop cube on dual monitors? O_O [23:48] axel: compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [23:49] axel: and their dependencies [23:50] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [23:50] libcompizconfig0 libdecoration0 linux-headers-2.6.24-17-generic libx11-xcb1 [23:50] compiz-plugins compizconfig-backend-kconfig compiz-core [23:50] linux-headers-2.6.24-17 [23:50] nosrednaekim: The linux-headers cause a strange feeling. [23:51] probably an old version [23:53] <_eMaX_> apparently I got a new kernel today and now linux doesn't start up as it thinks my root partition is xfs while it is ext3. anyone knows where to change that? [23:53] nosrednaekim: A look in the /boot/grub/menu.lst showed that the kernel 2.6.24-17-generic is used. [23:53] yeah... but what version? [23:53] _eMaX_: 0.o [23:53] nosrednaekim: how to figure this out? [23:53] <_eMaX_> nosrednaekim: that's what I thought :) [23:54] axel: do "uname -a" [23:55] nosrednaekim: Linux schlepptop 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [23:55] oh! heh [23:55] don't remove it then :) [23:55] nosrednaekim: well, it's suggested. Strange. [23:57] well, headers aren't required [23:58] nosrednaekim: I thought the headers-packages were some "meta-packages" for the kernel. [23:58] hey all. this weekend, i will *finally* get to install kubuntu on my parents' computer. not having done a fresh install in a long time, what packages should i install out of the box? [23:58] nosrednaekim: Semms, that I was wrong. [23:58] ign0ramus: I'd suggest firefox and kubuntu-restricted-extras [23:58] ign0ramus: Risky. Did you prepare your parents for that step? [23:59] axel: not risky at all. all they do is email and internet [23:59] ig0 [23:59] firefox, restricted-extras, build-essential... what else? [23:59] I'd install Yakuake- it's very easy to get to, and if for some strange reason you need them to type in a command, it's easy to say "Press F12"
