hola!
[01:11] help, i am trying to install kubuntu hardy on my girl's computer
[01:11] and i can't seem to do it, i tried three times now
[01:11] one through the live cd
[01:11] it's a toshiba satelite celeron 1805-S204
[01:12] where is the python xchat module ?
[01:12] it starts installing everything and then when it's past 79% it starts doing some beeping noises then a black screen showsup
[01:12] and hten it asks me to take cd out and reboot
[01:13] then when i try to reboot(i formated the disk when installing btw it was using windows xp) it asks me to insert disk and press a key
[01:13] but if i do this nothing happens
[01:13] i tried twice from the original menu wehn you stick the cd in
[01:13] corrupt disk pherhaps
[01:13] the install kubuntu
[01:13] *cd
[01:13] no way
[01:13] it's from shipit
[01:13] did you md5 the iso
[01:13] from canonical
[01:13] is there a way to force the install? i mean everythign is fine, it did partition and set up the ext3
[01:14] try in text mode
[01:14] it just won't install, past a certain point in the installation it starts beeping
[01:14]!alternate
[01:14] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[01:14] what if it that doesn't work? try with another kubuntu cd?
[01:15] well it's the canonical cd so i'm guessing htat if i press f4 there should be an alternate install option right?
[01:15] the live cd and alternate cd are two different items
[01:15] hmmm
[01:15] i onlyhave the kubuntu cd
[01:16] i don't recall ubuntu coming in two different cds
[01:16] did you try with acpi=off
[01:16] acpi=off?
[01:16] the one they sent you is more than likely the livecd
[01:16] CostaRicanQuaker,  is it a old pc?
[01:16] ie not the alternate cd.
=== jorge_ is now known as oqeudo
[01:17]!python-xchat
[01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about python-xchat
[01:17] hmm
[01:17] the only alternate cd i have is an old 5.10 ubuntu cd
[01:17] nuxil: it is an old pc
[01:17] it's around 2000ish
[01:17] toshiba satelite 1805-S204
[01:18] how much ram
[01:19] no idea...no way to check now...as i used the use whole diskl option when installing
[01:19] CostaRicanQuaker,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[01:19] where is the python-xchat module ?
[01:20]!info python-xchat
[01:20] Package python-xchat does not exist in hardy
[01:20] err
[01:22] hmm why  has python-xchat module been excluded in hardy?

good m0rning [06:45] ubuntu, install it first then we tell you :p === ubuntu is now known as daniel_1982 [06:46] g. morning to you too meta [06:46] hehe right :) [06:46] <_2> i think that the restricted drivers are locked out of the live cd. so in short if it's an ati card or some nvidia cards you can't [06:46] nice :) seems to be working [06:46] ForgeAus, you got lucky :) [06:46] (changed nick ubuntu -> daniel_1982) i won't install if the resolution is this crappy [06:47] ok [06:47] <_2> nuxil i beg to differ. he got help. [06:47] if it installs another kernel I can then put in locales with the new one after :) [06:47] <_2> ForgeAus yep. [06:47] or if that doesn't work redo that and try installing an older kernel and then install the locales package [06:48] <_2> ForgeAus if you need locales support yes. [06:48] I know it works with one of the kernels (15 instead of 17 or something , I'd have to research it to know for sure) [06:48] <_2> i just use LC_ALL=C [06:48] _2 hehe it might be unnecessary I don't know... [06:48] well the installer kept complaining when I used a kill for localdef, and defaulted back to LC_ALL=C anyway [06:49] but I didn't like the warnings I didn't trust it [06:49] and I only had 77% of hardy installed [06:49] * _2 nods [06:49] (when I rebooted didn't even go into X) [06:50] <_2> mine never does.... [06:50] the install should upgrade the kernel somewhere in that [06:50] so it should fix the issue unless the new kernel retains the bug [06:50] (if so I'm going to have to change my sources.list to get an older fiesty kernel to install locales [06:50] <_2> heh yeah or introduces new and worse wones. [06:51] yeah mine doesn't either it just adds a new one instead of replacing the old one.... [06:51] I wish I hadn't have thought the older one was safe to remove before hehe [06:51] I wouldn't have been stuck with the problem [06:52] <_2> "remove old kernel only after fully testing new one" -- linux beginners rules # 21 [06:52] whats fully testing include? [06:53] check that your hw works correctly [06:53] nux it did work correctly [06:53] <_2> not sure. but at the very least it would include that it boots and everything installed runs... [06:53] its a bug in the dist-upgrade [06:53] _2 when I was in Gutsy everything was fine [06:54] it was just the dist upgrade between gutsy and hardy that messed up === mendred_ is now known as mendred [06:54] the kernel was ok as far as I knew... [06:54] <_2> oh you want rule 26 [06:54] it worked for every other purpose :) [06:55] and rule 26 is? [06:55] <_2> "but always keep a spair kernel arund on a boot disk" -- linux beginners rules 26 [06:55] hehe good rule :) [06:56] actually I did have my feisty CD I wonder if that would have sufficed! lol [06:57] uh oh [06:57] I spoke too soon [06:57] locales must be a dependancy of another package [06:57] its trying to install it again :( [06:58] <_2> i told you to remove it with apt. [06:58] <_2> while you could. ;/ [06:58] I remvoed the dpkg/info stuff [06:59] <_2> but not the package which would have taken all it's dependant packages with it. [06:59] no you don't get it its another package is dependant on locales [07:00] <_2> yes i did get it. [07:00] rather than a package locales is dependant on [07:00] in that cas eyour confusing me [07:00] how is removing locales going to help if its required by another package to be installed? [07:00] (of all things somewhere along the line of kubuntu-desktop) [07:01] <_2> ForgeAus listen. if you do rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/something then you need to run dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get remove something so that it will clean out everything that depends on it. then you can upgrade and reinstall *buntu-desktop [07:02] _2 I'm listening but I still don't understand [07:02] <_2> removing the package with apt does what ? [07:02] isn't the dpkg --configure -a just going to need locales again anyway? [07:02] the package isn't broken it simply just hangs on installing with that kernel [07:02] <_2> dpkg does not download anything. [07:03] oh.. ok... [07:03] <_2> so. isn't the dpkg --configure -a just going to need locales again anyway? <<< no. [07:03] I'll try it but isn't kubuntu-desktop going to complain that its missing? [07:03] <_2> yes kubuntu-desktop will go missing [07:03] <_2> along with most everything else. [07:04] <_2> but you should still have enough to upgrade. and thus enough to reinstall kubuntu-desktop after the upgrade [07:04] had to reset.... [07:04] couldnt switch back with the alt+left/right thingy [07:05] <_2> yeah kernel bugs are hard to do anything with. [07:07] _2 do you know why the call it bugs? [07:07] <_2> ForgeAus anyway to see what dpkg is doing when it hangs ? are you talking on the same system ? [07:07] ahh I think I can fix it [07:07] <_2> nuxil first computer bug maybe ? [07:08] menu.lst put the old kernel back in again :) all I gotta do is go into recovery mode of that one and get locales [07:08] in the old days,. when computes was mainly radiotubes. they had problems at night with bughs flying in and chortcircte the radiotubes === vinay_ is now known as LoneShadow [07:09] therefor they had to debug [07:09] :) [07:09] ahh I thought it was about coding... [07:09] <_2> see wikipidia "first computer bug" [07:09] I call coding bugging :), so you need to debug to get it to work :) [07:10] - it fits with needing to decode the code :)... [07:10] <_2> microsoft released a new bug they call it vista [07:11] has anyone installed liquid weather ? [07:11] <_2> liquid weather that would be rain ? [07:11] <_2> LoneShadow not i [07:12] hey [07:12] I installed firefox 32bit 3.0 version and it works good, all the plugins work too [07:13] <_2> nuxil and better to call them bugs than to call them sharks i guess... [07:13] great tutotial [07:13] ubuntu has nice documentation [07:13] <_2> Nyle you running a k8 ? [07:13] however, in the firefox I just installed, its not anti aliased, the fonts I mean. All the fonts in other gnome apps are fine, just not in this [07:13] _2 hehe [07:14] in regular firefox 3.0 from ubuntu, the fonts are antialiased, but not in the firefox i installed manually for 32bit [07:14] I am using core 2 duo, amd64 port [07:14] yes!!! fixing it, its working [07:15] * _2 wonders what the differance is in k8 and amd64 ... ;/ [07:15] locales worked straight away with the old kernel I must not have deleted it or it reinstalled it or something [07:15] anyway old kernel back = proper dist-upgrade :) [07:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229010 [07:15] nless something else got screwed along the way [07:17] I have a problem with Firefox32 font rendering... It renders non-antialiased ugly fonts, while Firefox64 renders them very good [07:17] _2: K8 is amd64 (athlon64/sempron) [07:18] <_2> Daisuke_Ido i was being a problem child. please don't spanke me for it! [07:18] <_2> :) [07:18] heh [07:19] of course, amd had to confuse things by having ath64 in three different sockets [07:22] <_2> Daisuke_Ido if you have the time you could see about nyle though. i cna't help him. [07:23] i'm actually on my way to bed [07:24] plus i have no experience with running 32-bit apps on a 64 bit system [07:25] <_2> k [07:25] <_2> thanks. rest well === meta is now known as metawai [07:49] oh well I got back into my kubuntu desktop only one problem [07:50] no network [07:50] so I started a konsole and told it to dkpg --configure -a [07:50] sofar hanging on network manager :( [07:58] fixed :) [07:59] cyall from konversation :) [08:08] isn't hardy meant to be kde4? [08:09] spike_: there are kde 4.0 and kde4.1 packages for hardy [08:09] but afaik the default version is 3.5.9 [08:09] spike_, look at the topic [08:09] ahh ok thts where I'm at 3.5.9 [08:09] so I'm ok [08:09] yeah [08:13] grrr I hate that, kde4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 but nobody there talking :( [08:17] is there a way to turn off the big infotips (they look like a panel of their own with a "magic" effect when you mouse over anything on kicker) ? [08:19] spike_: yes there is in kde3 [08:19] not sure about kde4 [08:19] i'm on kde4.1 atm [08:24] well it looks like the easy way is to install kubuntu-kde4-dekstop [08:25] I take it it gives you a second session option when you log in? [08:26] yes' [08:27] awesome :) [08:27] how to start two sessions at the same time? gnome and kde [08:30] lunch2, not sure about that but if you press CTRL ALT F1 and type startx -- :1 you get a 2nd X server running,, guess its possible to get gnome working on it, [08:30] hrm, since when did firefox use qt? [08:30] jussi@jussi:~$ firefox [08:30] Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries [08:30] nuxil, that's what i been thinking, but i think need an app or service running [08:31] !info xephyr [08:31] Package xephyr does not exist in hardy [08:31] lunch2, you need to make a startupscipt .

[08:34] just addmit your just lazy :p [08:37] <_2> compiled != lazy [08:37] lunch2, why do you want to run both kde and gnome [08:38] compiled lazy :å [08:38] uh with gutsy upgraded to hardy should my ati binary driver still work? or do I need to do it the "hardy" way now? [08:38] (the install method is different) [08:38] (glxgears works tho hehe) [08:38] nuxil, i am just swithing over to xfce, too use to gnome [08:38] how to take screen shot in xfce forexample? [08:38] how to display Date on desktop bar? which i just found out how. [08:39] any many other things, i haven't come across [08:39] <_2> lunch2 as per your first Q gnome-session --display=':1' or conversly startkde --display=':1' from gnome [08:40] ok thanks _2 [08:40] hi [08:40] hi [08:40] <_2> ummm the equal sign may be bogus try with/without [08:42] <_2> lunch2 as per the date Q kickers clock applet can display time and/or date [08:42] _2, i am runing 'orange clock' [08:42] <_2> that assumes kde3 if kde4 you are in the wrong channel anyway [08:43] _2, kickers clock is not default on ubuntu [08:43] what's the clock that ubuntu use? [08:45] <_2> you are talking about gnome not "ubuntu" ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu are all ubuntu but with different DE's (desktop environments) for help with gnome ask in #ubuntu [08:46] <_2> sorry first was a Q ^ [08:46] <_2> are you talking [08:46] gnomes clock is built into one of the panels at the top or bottom I can't remember wich, but its efinitely not kicker :) [08:47] <_2> spike_ it's still just an applet. [08:47] <_2> wedget applet *oid [08:47] kubuntu uses kde which uses kicker (I think in kde4 it has been renamed possibly kickstart or something) [08:48] it's not biggy. i got 'orange clock' running. works fine [08:50] <_2> lunch2 kde3 uses kicker. kicker runs several applets amongst which is "/usr/bin/kclock.kss" clock in the list of applets that a right click add applets would show you. [08:50] <_2> you can right click the clock applet and configure it to display only the date. [08:51] _2, ok thx [08:51] <_2> as per gnome basicly the same thing. the default setup you would have to unlock pannels first then configure/add/remove ...

Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [09:50] well see that..: http://pastebin.com/m43e680ff [09:51] <_2> almog sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager* ;sudo apt-get install -f [09:51] tnx ill try it asap...(now..) [09:52] what was the command to open my sources list? [09:52] <_2> !it [09:52] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [09:52] it didnt work [09:52] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker in hardy it's in the package manager. [09:52] kdesu? /etc/sources.list [09:52] got pritty much the same error [09:53] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker you can still do it manually yes. kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list but you can use adept's menu also. [09:53] ok [09:53] <_2> almog pretty much ? [09:53] so i go to adept and then type kde on search [09:54] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker you go to adept edit your sources through adept apply fetch updates install kde4 [09:54] 1st my english is not very good cuz it's not my native languege and 2nd ill paste it to pastebin and show you the error now [09:55] http://pastebin.com/d473ab522 [09:55] <_2> almog ok, looking... [09:56] _2: adept says i won't be able to modify anything when i open it, how do i change that for root? and how do i edit my sources from it [09:57] CostaRicanQuaker: type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [09:58] now someone knows how to fix my problem? [09:58] <_2> almog ok see line 25 of your paste. i had you delete that package from your local cache, (and you did) and then on the retry it fetches it from the repository, (which it did) and the package still can't be unpacked correctly. thus the answer is that that particular package on the archive you retireved it from "is broken." either try a different mirror or wait for them to patch it. [09:59] almog: done, now what do i do? the sources list file is open...now what? [09:59] <_2> !bug | almog [09:59] almog: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:59] wait [09:59] so where can i find a diffrent mirror? [10:00] i use now this mirror: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main [10:00] ok i pasted that [10:00] <_2> almog depends on what mirror you are using now. try the nl. or us. maybe ? [10:00] now what? there's an upgrade or update distro command right? [10:01] i just pasted deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main [10:03] <_2> almog and CostaRicanQuaker i think you should both take that particular line of Q. & A. to #kubuntu-kde4 if the official repo has a broken package, chances are someone in there can help you + needs to know about it. [10:04] ok [10:04] i am just installing it now [10:04] hi !!!!!!!!! [10:04] it says some packages are [10:04] cannot be authenticated [10:04] yes? [10:04] can i install beryl in my kubuntu [10:04] <_2> i have nothing to do with packaging/development. and any time a .deb can't be unpacked there is a broblem. [10:05] <_2> !beryl [10:05] _2: i take that as a yes [10:06] can anybody tell where i could get some themes for kubuntu [10:06] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [10:06] thanks [10:06] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker if you mean answer yes to the package managers Q about the non-autnenticated package. do that at your own risk. [10:06] what about themes [10:07] <_2> !themes | korare [10:07] korare: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [10:07] _2: what do you mean at my own risk? i just did it...what's the danger? [10:07] k let me try [10:09] nobody answers at #kubuntu-kde can someone tell me where to find a different mirror where i could download kubuntu kde 4.1? [10:09] <_2> the dangers are a full range from 1. gpg key is out of date and nothing wrong with the package. ... 99. someone has cracked the server the repo is on. and you are installing a full fledged root kit on your sustem. more likely it's on the lower end of the scale. but how do i know for sure. [10:09] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker ^ [10:09] wait [10:10] i am installing this thing and i see [10:10] the cr archive [10:10] so it's getting it from the usual repo...that is costa rica server [10:10] right' [10:10] <_2> almog be patient in there. that's the development branch they may all be busy that are on line [10:10] let me go to pastebin fro a moment [10:11] morgen =) [10:11] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker you asked a question. i tried to answer it. that's all i can do. [10:11] <_2> guten tog manuel__ [10:12] 2_: here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/33311/ [10:13] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker yeah and ? [10:14] safe? [10:14] yes its safe.. [10:15] great! [10:15] <_2> they should have a gpg key for all that. i don't know why it didn't fetch... and again. i can not say if it's safe or not. it's "install at your own risk" i have no way to know or even guess propperly. [10:15] <_2> by the way. almog can't say if it's safe either at least not with any authority. [10:16] thats right.. [10:16] one question: Does anyone knows if "fontforge" software export "raw bits" bytes of different fonts from one ttf? [10:16] <_2> !worksforme | almog [10:16] almog: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [10:16] it is for one microcontroller program with lcd [10:17] <_2> francisjjp good luck getting an answer for any high tech Q in any *buntu channel. timming is everything on that. and this is the "off hour" [10:18] i know that if it works for me it isnt meen it's stable... but he asked if it's safe, not if it's stable and i think (i dont know for sure) that it's safe [10:19] <_2> francisjjp about half a taracycle from now would be a good time. [10:20] i dont understand [10:20] <_2> 12 hours === yacc__ is now known as yacc [10:36] is the newest version of Kubuntu with KDE4 usable, or is it like the old one broken (icons not working.....) ?

[10:51] Hi all. I'm trying out Kubuntu Intrepid. Kmix does not appear in the systray, and it appears I can't change the volume. Any pointers on what I should start looking at to see if I can fix it? [10:51] <_2> yes. [10:51] graham: kmix & [10:52] graham: and put a symlink in ~/.kde/Autostart [10:52] <_2> ActionParsnip my nvidia card is not supported [10:52] thanks ActionParshnip. will try that. [10:52] graham: you might also wanna put one in ~/.kde4/share/Autostart [10:53] _2: oh man, thats harsh. grab a new one for pence :D [10:53] _2: what you got? [10:53] <_2> riva128 [10:54] thats a sweet card :D [10:54] I used to have tnt2 ultra 32mb [10:54] POWER!! [10:54] <_2> doesn't really need a 3d dirrect rendering but it would be nice if it was supported [10:55] <_2> i also have a box with a broken ati card in it. but it's headless so that is moot [10:55] _2: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/virtual/xf86-video-driver-riva128 [10:55] <_2> and by "broken" i mean peaces missing. [10:56] wow that really broken [10:56] <_2> yeah [10:56] is that package any good to you? [10:56] just found it [10:56] <_2> looking. [10:56] well im gonna reboot, bbrs [10:57] <_2> na it just points at xserver-xorg-driver-nv heh. [11:00] <_2> that link is more of a "rub your nose in it" than anything else. it's like "we know your card is not supported, but if you want to act like it is you can install this 'dummy' package and brag about it..." har har har [11:03] bonjour [11:03] <_2> !fr [11:03] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[11:45] If so: what magic incantation would I need to use? [11:46] never have, sorry [11:47] im tyring ti figure out how set plasmoids only in the dashboard - coming up empty :/ [11:47] Pitty... It looks like there are some interesting plasmoids available through the internet install option, but I don't see how to actually get them :S [11:47] there are a few more in plasma-extragear though ( i think that's the right name) [11:50] I know, but when you try to install them, adept insists on *un*installing another package with plasmoids... [11:50] what are you onj 4.1? [11:52] Yes, I am on 4.1 [11:52] I followed the guide on the Kubuntu frontpage [11:52] that's really odd. packaging bug maybe? :/ [11:53] Maybe... [11:54] i just tried the internet install too btw [11:55] didnt seem to do much for me either [11:55] If I want to isntall extragear-plasma, I have to uninstall kdeplasma-addons and vise versa [11:55] hmmm. is this a first kde4 install?
