What is the console command to install? [00:34] matisse: yes [00:34] read again.. [00:35] matisse: you mean to let for example amarok install it [00:36] no [00:36] it just depends on what audio and video files you have === wsr3193 is now known as raghorn [00:36] which you want to play [00:37] mkv mka avi mpeg flv mp3 flac [00:38] then install the codecs you need for those files :) [00:38] ha ha ha [00:39] how i didn't realize that ha haha haaaa [00:40] I mean what you wanna know with "which is the best" ?? [00:40] in general there not much to choose [00:41] ahmos: There is no such thing as best codec, there is only needed codec: U need mp3 codec to play mp3 files, i.e. So, any provided codec, if works, it is the best ;) [00:41] ahmos: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [00:43] that is good restricted-extras .. it is encloding everything [00:43] going to install [00:45] thank u everybody [00:45] matisse: thank you :)) [00:45] np :P [00:53] where i can download kvirc 3.4.0 [00:53] amd64.deb?

[01:59] Hmm.. wasent the installers binary called ubiquity? or somthing like that [01:59] ubiquity-something [01:59] could look at the desktop icon and see what it launches i guess [01:59] * claydoh checks === davidc_ is now known as concernedcitizen [02:00] when i try to run it.. it gets as far as starting the actruall install, and then it crashes, i wanted to double check what the console error was [02:01] the funny thing, was i reburned the cd, which gets farther like 35-45% done, and spits back and IO error i just wanted to see if the first cd would come back with the same error [02:05] I can't tell but the command might just be 'ubiquity' [02:05] try ubi :) [02:06] did you try burning @ a slower burn speed?

[02:43] hi [02:44] i am running kubuntu kde4.1 + compiz what is the best/easilest way to make it look like mac os [02:45] tsuna27: buy a mac [02:46] please help me [02:46] Hmm.. how does kde4 even USE compiz? [02:46] !compiz > tsuna27 [02:46] tsuna27, please see my private message [02:46] kde4 has its own compiz-like features i thought [02:46] tsuna27: try the "kwin-baghira - KDE theme for Apple junkies :)" [02:46] package [02:47] and if you use the emerald window decoeration for compiz - theres a lot of stupid os-x looking themes also [02:47] dwidmann: how do i do that [02:48] tsuna27: sudo apt-get install kwin-baghira [02:48] the baghira theme is in the package manager. [02:48] tsuna27: then go to system settings -> appearance -> window decorations and set it to use bhagira ... it's rather customizable [02:48] well its not really a theme tho is it? ive not noticed if it puts a entry in the themes, or if its just window decoration and widgets. [02:49] dr_Willis: the "themes" portion of kde seems to be umm, sadly neglected as far as I can tell. [02:49] dwidmann_, yep. [02:50] bhagira does not add an entry to the 'themes' list [02:50] but it does add the widgets and windecs, that's a start [02:51] and looks just as ugly as the real osx ! ;) [02:53] you betcha [02:53] ah [02:53] i did sudo apt-get install kwin-baghira [02:53] then i went to appearance but i did not see any changes [02:53] tsuna27: it should be in the list of window decorations [02:54] tsuna27: and the list of styles also [02:55] i am using compiz so does that change things [02:55] Probably. [02:56] In here it's usually a fairly logical assumption that people are actually using kwin for their window manager/decorator. [02:57] sorry i just like the cube effect [02:58] I think it might be in kwin_composite for KDE 4.2, based on things I've read. === dwidmann_ is now known as dwidmann [02:59] I am constantly amazed at the efforts people to through for that silly cube. [02:59] what effort [02:59] dr_Willis: I admit I thought it was fun ... for about five minutes [02:59] i am a complete newb and i got in it under an hr [03:00] an hr.... wow. 'just' an hr for some eye candy effect. :) [03:00] under an hr [03:01] looking for a page that talks about the best way to remove unneeded packages [03:02] how do i download ksmoothdock [03:02] sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME [03:02] or use the package manager to search/install it [03:02] dr_Willis: don't see it in the package manager actually [03:03] Hi there,i have a usb sound device that kubuntu has recognised [03:03] but no soyund playing [03:03] sound [03:03] the onboard sound on the motherboard was broken so i got a usb one [03:03] i plugged it in [03:03] and the name of it came up on the mixer [03:03] only thing that comes up when I search for it is kooldock ... [03:04] !find smooth [03:04] Found: gtk-smooth-themes, r-cran-kernsmooth, gtk2-engines [03:04] when i select it no sound [03:04] It may not be in the repos then. You may have to use source [03:05] hi all! :-) [03:05] heyyy [03:05] clusby: hi there mate [03:05] hi wharf [03:06] mernil: by any chance are u good with linux stuff? [03:06] heheh [03:06] wharf: im a guru my friend! [03:06] Ok [03:06] hears the thing [03:06] mernil: hi! [03:07] I had a motherboard with broken soundcardc [03:07] i baught a usb one [03:07] which kubuntu has recognised [03:07] cause its in the mixer settings [03:07] yet [03:07] there is no sound [03:07] :S [03:07] not sure what next [03:07] haha [03:07] #1 be sure to disable the onboard card in bios. [03:07] !alsa [03:07] 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 [03:08] Then check the troubleshooting guide. [03:08] wharf: difficult to answer, but i know linux dont recognise in-built soundcards easily. I have an in-built soundcard myself, but i have to use a regular soundblaster card [03:09] the built in is broke anyway [03:09] wharf: also try to play a file with aplay and check mixer settings in kmix and alsamixer [03:09] it depends on the chip [03:09] how do i run alsa mixer [03:09] wharf: run command alsamixer [03:10] wharf: yeah, try alsamixer from the console [03:10] and then that control command i always forget [03:10] i just type aslamixer? [03:10] nothing happened [03:10] alsactr store i think [03:10] failed it said [03:10] few other things [03:11] alsamixer not aslamixer [03:11] wharf: maybe you should be root [03:11] no its not root, its user [03:11] same as root [03:12] wharf: sounds like your path or something is stuffed up. what does file /usr/bin/alsamixer return? [03:12] wharf: see what I asked in #alsa [03:12] ie. the command is: file /usr/bin/alsamixer [03:13] yea [03:13] wharf: find you where you have alsamixer do a "slocate -u" as root [03:13] mernil: its in /usr/bin [03:13] and then slocate alsamixer [03:14] and you wouldn't need root to locate it either [03:14] flaccid: yes, you have to be root to do slocate [03:14] to update the db at least [03:14] When I use pkill kdesktop to run compiz-fusion the next time I boot I have to pkill again is there a fix [03:14] mernil: thats not what i mean. the file is in /usr/bin [03:15] mernil: db should be updated with sudo updatedb [03:15] flaccid: okay [03:15] !compiz [03:15] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion [03:17] btw, when im here. I burned a live-cd for my dad to see. But after you changed language, it hanged-up and stopped. Is this a feature? [03:18] wharf: also you must have alsa-utils package installed to have alsamixer. this is installed by default on installation [03:18] maybe it's the wrong channel to ask, it was a little sad, because i wanted show my dad linux with kde.

[04:35] its dependent on your soundcard and driver. goto kmix mixer select the wave out chan as capture and move the slider up. its probably labelled as Mix [04:36] if you want to get audio from a video it would be better to rip it [04:37] flaccid: the problem that there is nothing labled mix or mixer in kmix [04:37] what channels do you have?
