[00:02] <_2> i wonder if there is any chance that partimage could backup my root fs ??? [00:06] Hi. I'm running out of disk space because of a bad distribution of my partitions, so I have to reinstall Kubuntu and I wonder whether Intrepid is currently usable? I know it may be buggy, but is it usable? [00:06] <_2> gustavonarea why reinstall ? [00:06] _2: I'd prefer to do a clear install [00:07] livecd + gparted [00:07] is there an alternative to kprinter in kde4? i have an app that uses |kprinter --stdin, can i just substitute something else? [00:07] <_2> or just add some more space through mount [00:07] and you don't want intrepid yet, it's not even beta yet, i don't think [00:08] gustavonarea: im on intrepid now, been usable for a while - you need to put up with occasional breaks but otherwise its all good [00:08] My totem movie player won't play any mp3s, I have the appropriate codecs and the application gives me no errors but when I press the button to play the mp3 it won't play. Can anybody help me? [00:09] hmmm, i think i'll give it a try if it works for some of you [00:09] <_2> out of disk space on / add some space with the mount command by moving things like var or /usr/share to a new partition/disk [00:10] <_2> we've been doing that in linux for forever [00:10] _2: I have two partitions, / and /home [00:11] <_2> need more room in /home seperate out users and mount disks/partitions as /home/user1 /home/user2 /home/user3 [00:11] _2: ohh, ok, i'll do that.

[08:31] well mine switches too but i cant make it work correctly [08:31] Some times its handled in the bios/firmware on some laptops it seems.. some times its all software.. so may not work. [08:31] If switching i recall having to use xrandr to set the res higher for my external moniotr.. UNLESS i boot up with the exernal monitor attatched.. then thats the default. and it uses the proper res. [08:32] details will depend on the exact Video card/chipset/laptop you have I imagine. [08:32] hm.. when i boot with attached monitor it still uses native [08:32] i have dell vostro with nvidia 8600 [08:32] I recall rerunning the nvidia-settings tool on my laptop [08:33] i'll try if i can set resolution with xrandr [08:33] my xorg.conf ---> http://pastebin.com/f6890565a [08:33] that nvida-settings tool also lets you change the res I belive on the fly [08:34] xrandr shows me output for only native monitor [08:34] even if i switch to use only the secondary one [08:37] thanks for xorg, i will try it [08:40] Isn't there an easier way to switch between two screen-configurations? On my laptop I have 1680x1050, but when I dock my laptop I use a monitor that supports 1900xsomething [08:41] I'd love to be able to put my already running laptop into the docking station and have it automagically switch to the external monitor and use the higher resolution [08:43] weedar: i dont know of a way to change on plug in or out but you can use krandrtray easy enough === c4rlitox is now known as c4rlitox_ [08:46] I always just boot up clean from work or the house. So i dont 'hotplug' or swithc on the fly like that. [08:46] I do have Twinview enabled.. that may help. :) [08:47] how do i configure twinview so it wont maximize windows over 2 monitors? o_O [08:47] kinda strange behavior [08:48] Dr_willis: I am able to set the external monitor to clone the laptop-monitor but then I have to use 1680x1050 [08:48] Dr_willis: Also, my filesystem is encrypted so booting is extra slow - and in 2008 I can't really accept waiting for my laptop to reboot - especially since I'm using Linux and not Windows ;) [08:49] weedar: which monitor are you using? [08:50] kp: I have a HP w2408 24" LCD as my external monitor, it supports 1920x1200 [08:52] flaccid: Not at the office atm, but krandrtray will enable me to switch resolution on both displays without restarting X? [08:52] it doesn't do multi display i don't think at all [08:53] but you can do xrandr for that [08:53] The weird thing is that I'm pretty sure that the first time I used the docking station my laptop started using the external monitor, with the correct resolution and everything [08:53] how do i find proper refresh rates for my monitor? [08:55] problem could be your docking station [08:56] kp: sudo ddcprobe [08:56] and your manufacturer's website [08:57] flaccid: Really? Because if I was unclear I have to clarify that I am able to use my external monitor with nvidia-settings, either cloned or setup as the only monitor [08:59] It's just that it's a real hassle to start nvidia-settings each time I dock.. shouldn't there be some sort of file in /proc that is altered whenever I dock/undock? [08:59] On some laptops ive seen one could use the 'change display' hotkeys . but it depends on the moniotr. [09:02] Dr_willis: That could work. I'd need a program to catch that event and then do whatever nvidia-settings does [09:02] I will stick with just plugging in and powering up. :) [09:03] Or something that notices when the laptop lid is open/closed.. [09:03] My laptop takes about 60 sec to boot to X.. [09:03] monitorrange: 30-81, 56-75 - is it vertical first? [09:03] Of course My window manager dosent handle xranr/screen res changeing on the fly very well. [09:05] Dr_willis: I haven't used a non-encrypted filesystem in quite a while, but I find it hard to believe that the encryption alone is responsible for the difference in my boot-time and yours [09:05] does Kopete have a dictionary? And how do install a dictionary or spelling correct plugin into Konversation? [09:05] No idea. I dont bother with encrypted filesystems.. Im not that paranoid. :P [09:06] Of coruse half the boot time is loading of kde/gnome it seems.. I am using jwm so X starts up almost instantly [09:06] ive had so many issues with Hibernate/suspend that i dont even bother with it any mor eunder windows or linux. === marcel is now known as mkm394 [09:08] doing some googling - i find the following.. (reading it now) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/docking-station-external-monitor-with-laptop-lid-closed-578487/ === ebrima is now known as Gainde2 [09:13] there is a lack of video software and support in linux. it should all be done by xrandr and the restricted drives don't support it with multiple ports. what can you do.. [09:14] anyway im off cyas [09:15] well i am using jwm as my window manager. :) its lacking a lot of features. But my setup/monitors are simple. I power up at work.. it uses lcd. i come home plug in external. power up. it uses the external. it even shuts off the internal lcd. i DO have to use the laptops lcd to do any changes to grub. Which is a bit of a bother. [09:16] flaccid: thanks for your help! [09:16] hi [09:16] bonjour [09:16] hehe np [09:16] catchyas later [09:17] hi i need help regarding sound problem in kubuntu. After installing updates i am not getting sound [09:18] Dr_willis: I'm both paranoid and drawn to the geekiness of having an encrypted filesystem. Also, if my laptop was somehow stolen it would be great if nobody got hold of our company secrets or my Grateful Dead mp3s [09:19] i was wondering if anyone was into gps here or if anyone knew about a chan irc that mainly talks about gps on linux ? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [09:26] who can help me? [09:27] i have sound problem in kubuntu anybody help me plz [09:27] Cant help much with sound other then to point out the !sound and !alsa bot factoid sites.. [09:27] !alsa [09:27] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [09:28] I have a problem adept manager [09:28] State the exact problem then for a start. :) [09:28] thanks [09:28] well [09:28] when I try to install a package [09:29] I get "Could not commit changes" [09:30] ... [09:31] can you help? [09:33] !aptfix | Dragon_Master [09:33] Dragon_Master: 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 » [09:34] i've been told that already :x [09:34] and it didn't work :x [09:34] Hmm. [09:34] did I mention I accidently killed adept_batch [09:36] Dragon_Master: That command should fix it tho.. [09:36] Dragon_Master: Are you unable to install packages from the command line with "apt-get install " ? [09:36] doesn't "apt-get install -f" work ? [09:36] didn't [09:37] no from "request install"" haven't tried apt-get\ [09:39] "invalid operation" [09:40] Dragon_Master: apt-get install -f [09:41] that shouldn't say invalid [09:41] Dragon_Master: You get "invalid operation" if you try apt-get install? If not, could you pastebin the output from "apt-get install kwrite"? [09:41]
