[02:42] is there a straight kde4 upgrade? [02:42] lampe, you can insatll both kde and gnome, and select what one to use from the gdm/kdm login screen sessions menu. [02:43] lampe, install kubuntu-desktop [02:43] but i am runing now ubuntu [02:43] lampe, that is a package [02:43] !info kubuntu-desktop [02:43] kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu desktop system.

[02:46] KDE4 [02:47] i installed ubuntu and add software i searched for kde4 [02:47] ^ [02:47] which command are u using? [02:47] no command [02:47] o.O [02:47] magically? [02:47] i got UBUNTU with GNOME [02:48] there is a programm called add/delet [02:48] and there i can search for KDE and press install and he do :P [02:48] so now must restart see yaa :D [02:49] restart in linux? [02:50] I am using apt-get, I got rid off all kde related packages and x11 as well as non-system packages [02:51] so now from a fresh cd install I only have 75 upgrades [02:52] many related to avahi, I wonder whether it is safe to remove avahi [02:52] can somenone tell me if I can remove avahi stuff? [02:53] I still got to cancel the upgrade [02:53] *time [02:54] I would just let the system update and upgrade.... [02:54] did not work ... [02:54] it loaded the login screen [02:54] lampe, it pays to be verbose and concise as to what your exact problem is. :) [02:54] but then it loaded gnome not kde [02:54] lampe, and did you select kde from the sessions menu? [02:55] i want to install KDE on a Ubuntu [02:55] there where no selecttion [02:55] selection [02:55] lampe, you normally install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package. and the gdm screen has a 'sessions' menu item you use to select what desktop to use when you login [02:55] wait [02:56] i will look [02:57] * dr_Willis waits and waits.. and thinks about changeing his nick to confuse lampe.

[03:05] I think having seen i686 [03:05] Install it and see if you can tell the differance then i guess. [03:05] would I have to change the profile or somthing? [03:06] profile? Hmm.. it should just a new entry to the grub menus [03:06] not sure whatyou mean by profile [03:06] arch profile [03:14] iam back :D [03:14] now iam runing xfce [03:15] hello ? === root is now known as Guest26689 === bibek is now known as bibstha [03:23] hi my harddisk makes certain sound [03:23] at random interval [03:23] im worried [03:23] its a laptop i just iayyesterdnstalled kubuntu [03:24] is it spinning down and up again?

[03:27] the end portion of hd is supposed to be fast? [03:27] dunno [03:28] i was once told by computer parts reseller that disks can make funny grinding sounds to begin with, because they are calibrating for temperature ... i.e. some feedback loop detects that the head needs adjustments ...
