[05:02] RAOF: This will probably mess with my desktop a lot, won't it? I'm actually interested on just trying it. If I remove kubuntu-desktop later, everything will be fine? [05:03] Yes. [05:04] Ok, thanks RAOF! =) [06:25] Hey all, anyone know why since i upgraded to Intrepid fire fox seems to open a lot of untitled windows, and if i close them all firefox windows close? [06:52] hi anyone experiencing random xorg crashes in intrepid? [06:54] Hey all, anyone know why since i upgraded to Intrepid fire fox seems to open a lot of untitled windows, and if i close them all firefox windows close? === Sebast1an is now known as Sebastian [08:07] Stupid NetworkManager... if I boot with my rfkill switch set to 'kill'.... I can't re-enable wireless even if I do press the hotkey. [08:07] It still shows "Wireless Disabled". [08:07] I have to uncheck and recheck "Enable Networking" to get wireless back. [08:07] Lame. [08:11] DanaG: please, open a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager [08:11] DanaG: wow, i see you provide valuable feedback for at least half-year probably. i hope someone make notes and taking care... [08:12] :P [08:12] Heh, I do need to actually formally report some of the things I've found, rather than just griping about them.... [08:13] And possibly even fix some; you're clearly capable of it :() [08:13] Yeah. [08:14] One example: the QuodLibet thing... I don't know Python, but surely I'd be able to dig around in the code to find out why setting a collection root breaks the folder views. [08:14] * RAOF notes that your screensaver gripe is trivially fixable by you :P [08:14] Aah, the xscreensaver thingy... right. [08:15] The rss-glx one, that is. [08:15] Indeed. [08:16] !debdiff [08:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about debdiff [08:16] !packagingguide [08:16] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [08:16] Certainly has a link to what you're after, although is a bit of overkill :) [08:16] * DanaG will use google instead, or just search the wiki. [08:17] Oh yeah, I've now adapted my xorg.conf synaptics options into an fdi file. Sweet. [08:17] Nifty. Anything worth upstreaming to Ubuntu? [08:17] Another idea: put a comment in xorg.conf pointing users to the right place. [08:18] Making it an FDI file makes it more robust against psmouse dropouts and such; otherwise, upon device disconnection and reconnection, it loses all settings.

[09:37] !ask [09:37] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:37] hahaha [09:37] sorry [09:38] omfgitsashark: It's not your fault [09:38] i just downloaded this gnome app it like a redo of the log in screen [09:38] i have no idea how to install this i have had ubuntu for about 3 days now and i still have no clue what to do [09:38] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Intrepid+Ibex+GDM+(list)?content=87580 [09:39] You're probably after #ubuntu, although that's often busy and noisy. [09:39] yeah someone there said i would be better off comming here [09:39] Hm. that looks quite nice, though. [09:39] yeah i know [09:39] i just need to learn how to install stuff like this into ubuntu [09:39] Sadly, they were lying, although that does have "Intrepid" in the thingy :) [09:39] yeah i know [09:39] i just want the look [09:39] haha [09:40] I suggest that you need to unpack the tarball to /usr/share/gdm/themes [09:41] see you lost me there i got the file path but what is the tarball [09:42] ooo ok [09:42] so the .tar [09:43] So, in a terminal it would be "cd /usr/share/gdm/themes", followed by "sudo tar xjvf ~/Downloads/87580-IntrepidList.tar.bz2" [09:44] so i would type the first one in hit enter followed by the second [09:44] Correct. [09:44] with or without ยจ [09:44] Without. [09:45] ooo man oo man oo man [09:46] i dont think anything happened [09:46] After running the tar line there should be some output as it unpacks the files. [09:47] i copy and pasted what you wrote into the terminal [09:47] first the fist one hit eneter [09:47] then the second hit enter [09:48] Right. The second should ask for your password, and then print out a bunch of filenames as it's unpacking the files. [09:48] no [09:48] (There may well be an easier way to do this; this is just the first thing that popped into my head). [09:48] when i hit enter it just drops down a line [09:49] You're acutally in a termainal? [09:49] Terminal, sorry. [09:49] apps/acc/terminal [09:49] Right. [09:50] yeah [09:50] So, typing "cd /usr/share/gdm/themes" without the " should move you to the appropriate directory. What's in the terminal now? [09:51] rob@Rob-Laptop:~$ cd /usr/share/gdm/themes" [09:51] > sudo tar xjvf ~/Downloads/87580-IntrepidList.tar.bz2 [09:51] > [09:51] > [09:51] > cd /usr/share/gdm/themes [09:51] > sudo tar xjvf ~/Downloads/87580-IntrepidList.tar.bz2 [09:51] > [09:51] > [09:52] Um.

[09:52] rofl [09:52] wow [09:52] at me [09:58] ok [09:58] so that worked let me see [09:58] You should now be able to select it in System->Administration->Login Window [10:00] ok let me check this o0ut [10:02] it didnt work [10:04] ok i got it to work [10:04] thank you so so so so so so so much [10:15] omfgitsashark: Much better to ask a channel than privmsg. [10:17] raof [10:17] you there [10:17] i need help installing theme [10:17] i thought it would go the same way as the last one [10:17] but it isnt work ing [10:18] Which theme? [10:18] Most themes you can simply drag to the Appearance applet. [10:19] let me link you [10:19] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=86844&vote=good&tan=31951600 [10:19] Yup. You just drag the download to the Appearance applet. [10:19] System->Preferences->Appearance [10:20] Alternatively, you can click on the "Install" button in System->Preferences->Appearance [10:20] Both work. [10:21] i installed it and am now running it but it doersnt look right [10:21] like the background is still the same and i dont think it is right [10:21] do i need anything else installed to make that work [10:21] because i just have regular ubuntu [10:22] The desktop background? It's entirely possible that the background isn't included in the theme. [10:22] well the opacity isnt dropping as well [10:22] it just doesnt look right at all [10:27] i really dont get this [10:28] i am trying a diffrent start menu screen [10:43] would anybody happen to know what the addon is to make it look like the mac os with the dock on the bbottom [10:44] omfgitsashark: it looks like awn (avant-window-manager) [10:45] it's in the repos [10:45] as avant-window-manager [10:45] where would i be able to find that at... and would it work on a crap lap? [10:45] also install awn-manager, iirc [10:46] you need visual effects [10:46] depends on the crap lap viceo card [10:46] ^^^video [10:46] hahahaha [10:47] i cant turn on the visual effects [10:47] so that is a no go [10:47] i believe so. apparently, they are working on a version that doesn't require the same level of graphics card [10:48] there are other docks, but i haven't used them [10:48] i have really fallen in love with ubuntu [10:48] since i got it 3 days ago [10:48] they may not require the same level of graphis support [10:48] i am thinking about buying a new lappy [10:48] just for this [10:49] when the 3d effects came around, i thought it was just a waste of time [10:49] but as you start using them, you'll find some really useful stuff [10:50] hahahaha [10:50] i cant run that either [10:50] the FIRST thing I do on a new ubuntu install is install awn and ditch the bottom panel [10:52] i wish i could but i will have to wait till i get something that can handel hahahah [10:53] does awn work like the mac doc [10:53] were it would replace the bottom panel [10:53] and the apps would minimize to that [10:53] yes [10:53] yes [10:53] and when app is minimized, it gets a little arrow/triangle to show that it is a 'live' app minimized [10:54] also has effects when app wants to notify you of activity. like bouncing icon etc [10:55] god i need new lappy \ [10:55] search for awn on youtube for some vids [10:55] i dont know if i will be able to use this theme i have right now because my lappy doesnt seem to be able to hande olit [10:57] O_o === nemo is now known as nemo_away [13:45] Is there any documentation anywhere on how to use KVM with Ubuntu 8.10? === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak === bcurtis is now known as bcurtiswx [14:23] Can someone try something for me?

[15:06] by anychance did xorg.conf get changed around in intrepid from hardy? [15:06] shadowhywind: well, xorg itself got upgraded... [15:07] yep [15:07] it's almos empty ;) [15:08] I did a fresh install of intrepid(kubuntu) copied my old settings since i had my dual screening working. And now i am having some issues, not sure if its due to xorg or plasma [15:08] shift and arrow keys arent recognised too [15:08] Turski: no idea, then. [15:08] Turski: i presume if you give logs, people might be able to help [15:09] shift doesn't work as part of hotkey [15:10] which logs? [15:11] kdm?

[15:44] i have right layout set [15:53] should firefox look uhly or pretty in intrepid? [15:53] i have ugly look [15:57] Turski: you have the default look [15:57] but I don't think it is the "final" look [15:57] we will wait and see [15:59] default? [15:59] i mean, shouldn't it look like kde-themed in kubuntu [15:59] default: what the devs decided it would look like for now [16:00] forgot to mention that i have kubuntu [16:01] same rule applies the kubuntu devs decided it looks like it does until they decide to make it look different [16:01] Turski: install gtk-qt-engine & configure it in systemsettings === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna [16:12] JontheEchidna: there's no settings for it? [16:12] Hello. I've met with a wired problem. When I am using Ubuntu 8.04 [16:12] with linux 2.6.24, my ethernet adapter was running very good. But [16:12] just after I download a 2.6.26 kernel from intrepid and installed [16:12] it, the 2.6.24 kernel does not function with my ethernet. [16:12] Turski: in the appearance section of systemsettings? [16:13] that "Use my KDE theme on GTK applivations"? [16:13] i have it enabled but firefox still looks like just qt [16:14] there should be a whole section [16:14] GTK Styles and fonts [16:14] oh, I see [16:15] uh, you might need to restart KDE [16:16] hmm.. i thought that i did it already -_- [16:16] well, now it works [16:16] but i have still those other problems [16:17] as keyboard and mouse doesn't work after boot and i have to restart kdm before they do [16:17] and arrow keys and some others dont work properly [16:18] actually looks like their functions are changing all the time O_o [16:49] hey [16:49] do you guys think its safe to install 8.10? [16:50] well its unlikely to get you killed [16:50] lol [16:51] is it secure enough to install a head of time? [17:00] kev_: Alpha 5 works fine. There is a few issues for me, like with the splash screen and the alpha nvidia cards. Otherwise, I've had little difficulty with Xubuntu 8.10 [17:02] kev_, there is still a fair chance that one day between now and release you will not be able to boot into intrepid because some update has broken something [17:02] i see ssam, thanks. [17:03] ssam, and a small chance that it will eat your data [17:03] oops, i am ssam :-) [17:04] kev_, testing it on a spare partition is a better idea. (though you should still have a back up) [17:31] Hey all, has anyone noticed that the brightness goes up and down automatialy with ibex, my screen keeps fading dark to bright and I was wondering if there is a way to turn this off [17:41] hi. I just installed a new 64bit alpha4 without formatting the old /home partition. When I login I get a black screen and nothing happens. [18:44] if i start xorg without a config file, then compiz dont work [18:45] maybe you should use config file then? [18:47] i dont want [18:47] config file is for 1980 computer [18:47] my computer have plug-n-play [18:48] :) [18:48] i thought ubuntu was a modern operating system, that you didnt have to dick around in config files, i know i didnt have to with windows 95, it just auto-detected stuff [18:48] and then you had to install 50 defferent drivers? is that plug-n-play? [18:49] idk [19:04] Hey all, has anyone noticed that the brightness goes up and down automatialy with ibex, my screen keeps fading dark to bright and I was wondering if there is a way to turn this off [19:42] wow, quiet [19:43] i just tested 8.10, and the 2.6.26 kernels seem to cause no display to appear on my dell inspiron 1525 laptop [19:43] Well.. we're going to be moving to 2.6.27 shortly, so you may want to hold your breath on submitting the bug [19:43] k [19:45] I heard the startup "drums", but nothing appeared. ctrl+alt+1 caused the display to turn off for a second (normal) but no login prompt appeared [19:52] Another thing I noticed - I have the top nav bar (with Applications, Places, System, etc) set to autohide, and it's manually set to hide down to 1px. Whenever I hover over it, all my windows and desktop items move down with it [19:56] Kinda hard to explain - let me get a screenshot [20:12] before - http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/6396/screenshotqe9.png [20:12] after - http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/3217/screenshot1zh1.png [20:15] keanu: I'd concider that a bug [20:16] Pici, Should I report it? [20:27] keanu: I would [20:27] Pici, Ok, thanks [21:08] moin [21:08] mache ich mit sudo apititude dist-upgrade -d nen upgrade auf die alpha? [21:22] Mysql got fucked ? [21:37] what name i should use for alt gr in xmodmap? [21:41] Hi, what's the tool to change my keyboard layout in intrepid? [21:47] Hi, any one answered my question how can I edit kde keyboard layout in Intrepid? [21:48] hardy_: is it not the same as hardy ? [21:48] ikonia: I got disconnected [21:48] ? [21:49] hardy_: I meant is it not the same tool/method as in hardy ? [21:49] ikonia: I used to do it with kcontrol but now its not available [21:49] hardy_: as in not available because the package is not available/there/broke or not there as in the method has changed === Mez|Reading is now known as Mez [21:51] ikonia: yes both kcontrol and kde-ystemsettings are not installable, I guess broke [21:51] hardy_: ok - so thats fine [21:51] hardy_: does it say "package broke" ? [21:52] kde-systemsettings: Depends: kcontrol but it is not installable [21:52] E: Broken packages [21:52] ok, so it' currently broke in intrepid [21:52] thats no big deal, it's still in development [21:54] ikonia: yes but I need to know how to edit the configuration file manually so I can use Intrepid [21:55] doesn't kde use something like a registry ? [21:55] you could always change the layout at the Xserver layout [21:55] hardy_: or you could accept that tool is broke as your using a development release thats not stable [21:57] ikonia: no kde uses configuration files not a registry AFAIK so it's somewhere in .kde almost. I thought I may find some one here who knows [21:58] hardy_: I'm sure either #kubuntu or #kde would know [21:58] hardy_: or do it in your xorg config file [22:00] ikonia: the problem is it seems the kde settings override the xorg settings so I need to remove the current one first === hardy_ is now known as hardy [22:06] hardy: can you not use setxkbmap to set them [22:09] ikonia: setxkbmap -print already displays the correct layout [22:30] anyone here try the Kubuntu 8.10 alpha on a laptop? [22:34] Yeah. It worked, kinda. [22:35] it's been working fair here till i got the updates in the last two days. have had to reload and still the wireless is broke. the broadcom i have shows the network but fails to connect [22:35] Alphas, eh? [22:35] i'm hoping the next alpha due to be released next week fixes it [22:36] And then the 2.6.27 kernel will likely either fix it or break it again. [22:36] the ubuntu 8.10 alpha wireless doesn't fail though [22:36] odd [22:36] Ah. That'd be a knetworkmanager bug then, presumably. [22:37] Filing bugs is of course more useful than idling on IRC :) [22:37] that's what i'm suspecting. the new knetworkmanager is having issues [22:38] yeah. but when you can't exactly trace the issue to one specific package it's not so easy. was just curious if someone else was experiencing the same issue [22:38] ty anyway RAOF [22:39] TFrog: It seems you _have_ traced it to a package; knetworkmanager. [22:40] could be. i'll check on it again with some CLI investigation to narrow it down. more than likely it is an issue with the new version of knetworkmanager. [22:40] thanks again. [22:40] i'm out now [22:43] anyone know if ubuntu's repositories have xen 3.3 [22:44] Yes. [22:44] do you know which repositories? [22:44] I have ubuntu server 8.04 [22:45] Intrepid repositories. [22:45] I did apt-get update [22:45] The versions that you've got in Hardy (8.04) are the versions that will remain. [22:45] If 3.3 isn't in there now, it won't be in there at any point. [22:45] Exception: backports. [22:46] That's what we mean by "stable release". It (idealy) doesn't change. [22:48] okay thanks === echidnaman is now known as JontheEchidna [22:50] Ooer, my numpad appears to not be functioning correctly [22:55] Anybody else experiencing problems with shutdown and reboot buttons in Intrepid ? [22:55] When I click shutdown or reboot, nothing happens [22:56] I need to use "sudo reboot" and "sudo poweroff" to get the job done [22:56] On both computers [22:57] in intrepid, what's the package name for xen-3.3? [22:57] I cannot find it [22:58] sleepster: it is not in Hardy [22:58] xen-hypervisor-3.3 [22:59] Pici: yeah I tried intrepid, but I cannot find it :( [23:00] sleepster: I see xen-hypervisor-3.3, xen-utils-3.3, and xen-docs-3.3 here [23:00] Teiseii: Yes, everyone [23:01] thanks [23:01] actually I forgot to append 'universe' to my repository entry [23:01] Laney: Thanks for the info :) [23:02] Teiseii: In return, can you see if your number pad works for me please? [23:03] When I activate numlock and press J I get number 1, K for 2 etc. [23:03] Let me see if it works on regular keyboard [23:03] Hang on, I've just seen something that might be related in the release notes [23:04] let me restart my session [23:04] Numlock works for me if I enable it on my thinkpad here [23:04] I have ThinkPad too [23:04] T60 [23:05] 798465410 [23:05] Yes, numpad on external keyboard works as well [23:05] Pici, Teiseii, for me the arrow keys don't work in kubuntu ;) [23:06] Teiseii: T60 here too [23:06] Arrow keys don't work huh ? I had similar problem but I changed some stuff in keyboard options and got them work again [23:07] Or do you mean those arrow keys in numpad ? [23:07] xev sees 1-4,7-9 correctly but not 0 or 5 which both send a FocusOut event apparently [23:07] hardy: Which arrow keys do you mean ? [23:07] but none of the numbers come up when I type them [23:07] Laney do you have numlock on ? [23:08] Yes [23:08] (as xev sees them right) [23:08] Teiseii: the UP-DOWN arrows in the keyboard, does it work for you? [23:09] if I just wanted to use the kernel from intrepid and I have added the repository and pinned it, would 'sudo apt-get install -t intrepid linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic' work or do I need additional packages? [23:09] hardy: Yes [23:09] Is the mouse moving when you press the arrow keys? [23:09] Pici: no [23:09] hm [23:10] Pici: I am not in gnome, which works properly but if I launced kvm from gnome, the arrow keys don't work either in the quest OS [23:10] s/not/now [23:10] My Keyboard model is "Evdev-managed keyboard" ... according to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts [23:10] Other options don't work well [23:10] Teiseii: what's that Evdev-managed? [23:11] hardy: No idea, but it works the best [23:11] All buttons work [23:11] hardy: If you see that option there, try it :) [23:12] Teiseii: it's already set to that [23:12] Hmm [23:12] Teiseii: did you use kvm before? [23:12] or qemu [23:12] I'm not sure because I don't know what they are [23:13] Haha, I'd accidently turned on mouse keys somehow [23:13] * Laney is an idiot [23:13] Hehe [23:14] But the poweroff/reboot button issue is a real thing :) [23:21] Teiseii: yes I am also facing poweroff issues [23:24] hi, just installed intrepid alpha 4.. my intel iwl3945 doesn't see my WPA AP.. is this a known problem ?
