[00:40] yes it did [00:40] i just started my comp and now im maxed at very low res [00:41] martin_: OK. try this. Open konsole and type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [00:41] with sudo? [00:41] martin_: sorry, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [00:41] yea [00:42] martin_: it should only take a few seconds and return to prompt [00:42] martin_: then logout and restart X from KDM [00:42] ok thx did it now need to restart X [00:44] can anyone tell me the differences between ubuntu and kubuntu? are there more options in the menus? [00:44] Ubuntu uses the gnome window manager and kubuntu uses KDE [00:45] !kde [00:45] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [00:45] well i was in this thing in ubuntu with all these new menu options and then my hard drive crashed [00:47] Guest33605: ouch :( [00:47] missed him by || that much. [00:47] I see mto have that effect [00:49] I hope the hard drive running whatever he was on just now didn't crash [00:49] now that would suck for him [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/57046/ ? [00:50] lokpest: probably best to report crashes on launchpad [00:51] ok :/ [00:51] lokpest: sorry [00:53] MrKennie: thought It was a know bug with some work around, the mediabuttons for Inspiron 6400 would seem to be usual thing people walk into [00:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/205534 [00:54] clostest I can find [00:57] MrKennie: seems to be it :) [00:59] hi it's me again, worked but with 1 small problem, now computer loads with default monitor till loggin screen at witch point it changes to my secondary monitor [01:00] MrKennie: found a workaround there, not a great one, but I get by for the moment, thanks :) [01:03] martin_: you can try setting your default monitor in system settings [01:04] where can i do that? [01:05] under Monitor & Display [01:05] and i tried doing it with just my lcd but I dont get the loading screen [01:06] i dont see anything about an other monitor in ther [01:06] K -> System Settings [01:06] and in the Computer Administration section you should see Monitor & Display [01:07] martin_: you will probably want to enter administrator mode before applying any settings. [01:08] i have but for some reason kubuntu doesnt see it [01:09] the additional monitor? [01:10] actualy ther main one, the one that I see all the boot sequence [01:11] i only see my crt [01:11] hmm [01:11] martin_: which graphics card do you have? [01:11] but when the kubuntu loding screen is on it's on the lcd then the login screen is on the crt [01:11] 8800 GTS [01:12] martin_: are you using the nvidia drivers? [01:12] yes im using the nvidia_new [01:12] martin_: ok, do you have nvidia-settings installed? [01:13] no [01:13] install it as it will give you better control [01:13] if you use the nvidia drivers [01:14] where do i get it [01:14] martin_: you can install it using adept [01:15] K -> System -> Adept Manager === N is now known as Guest13444 [01:16] ok just got it installed === Guest13444 is now known as NiGhT === NiGhT is now known as NIGHT === NIGHT is now known as N_GhT === N_GhT is now known as N1GhT [01:18] i get this message You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.

[01:28] MrKennie: no still maxes out at 640x480 [01:29] hola [01:29] ok [01:30] smkajt: firefox is firefox3 [01:31] let me try something, ill start the dual monitor and see if i cat get something better [01:33] I cant access my N95 thru bluetooth, kBluetooth dont ask me the password to set the connection [01:33] damn cant get twinview started cant press the apply button [01:35] martin_: are you able to paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to a pastebin? [01:35] martin_: as well as /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:37] Can anyone help me out ? I've got no sound and I've tried everything I could think of. [01:37] MrKennie: pastebin? [01:37] N_GhT: what sound card do you have? [01:37] !pastbin | martin_ [01:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin [01:37] !pastebin | martin_ [01:37] martin_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [01:39] N_GhT: keep in channel please [01:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/57213/ thats the log file [01:39] oh, sorry forgot ^^' [01:40] !bluetooth [01:40] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [01:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/57214/ this is xorg.conf [01:41] MrKennie: Tried everything, also the HDAintel bug... still can't figure it out [01:42] N_GhT: get anything from cat /proc/asound/cards ? [01:42] martin_: looks like nvidia can't get any info from your monitor [01:43] thats what i thought, but don't know why since it worked flawlessly for the past month [01:43] martin_: that is unusual I have to admit. [01:44] MrKennie: Nope, Nothing. [01:44] martin_: did you ever install the nvidia drivers since installing kubuntu or did you just use the defaults? [01:45] when i installed kubuntu i started them right away [01:48] damn kfmclient [01:48] N_GhT: can you pastebin the output of lspci -vv [01:48] martin_: well, you can either disable the nvidia driver and figure out the default screen or add modelines for your monitor. [01:52] MrKennie: yeah thats what i thought guess im going to add the modelines [01:53] MrKennie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57220/ [01:56] N_GhT: aplay -l shows anything? [01:58] MrKennie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57222/ that's what it says [01:59] ah ok [02:00] :/ Je me pose des questions la... [02:00] N_GhT: does alsamixer work? [02:01] MrKennie: It does... [02:03] N_GhT: under each control, you should see either 00 or MM (MM == mute) [02:03] N_GhT: Master and PCM should have 00 [02:04] MrKennie: I don't see it [02:04] N_GhT: OK, i don't have one under PCM on mine. [02:05] MrKennie: Master has it, but PCM doesn't [02:05] N_GhT: Master is 00? [02:05] MrKennie: Yes [02:06] N_GhT: and still no sound even moving the levels up and down? [02:06] MrKennie: Nope, even when moving, no sound at all. [02:07] N_GhT: try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [02:07] MrKennie: Nope, no sound at all XD [02:07] MrKennie: ok [02:08] MrKennie: Hey ! We got sound now ! Thanks MrKennie ! :) [02:08] yay! [02:08] * xweb applaudes [02:08] You deserve a cookie for that ! [02:08] hehehe [02:08] * MrKennie munches [02:09] No seriously thanks, been working at it since yesterday night... x.x [02:09] you're welcome. [02:10] N_GhT: I think for some reason the driver locked your card into mute [02:11] MrKennie: Yeah that's odd... I did the HDAIntel fix and rebooted, looked up the snd_ string, everything was fine but no sound... Heh... Guess you had to do it :P [02:11] N_GhT: you will probably want to adjust the PCM back to a good level again. No doubt you've been slapping that around a bit :) [02:12] MrKennie: True ^' [02:13] MrKennie: Anyway, everything's working fine now hehehehe [02:13] N_GhT: enjoy =) [02:13] Be right back [02:15] martin_: how's it going? [02:18] hey all [02:18] MrKennie: i reset my xorg.conf and i am running without the nvidia drivers [02:19] can I install Kubuntu via Wubi? [02:19] MrKennie: i was thinking the last thing i did yesterday was try a few opengl games that i got from adept, could 1 of those have messed up [02:19] martin_: ah ok. You could also try envyng-qt. The newer drivers may ave better luck getting info from your monitor. [02:21] martin_: just bear in mind that the envyng method isn't officially supported. [02:21] how can I logout the other user runing here? [02:21] afeijo: running here? [02:22] on my kubuntu [02:22] I started another session, the other one from my girl is still runing. There is not a "logout" from my session? [02:23] you could kill the kdeinit that is running under the respective user [02:24] let me try [02:24] I'm not sure on the "proper" way to do it === charly is now known as charly_ [02:31] best is who -u, than kill the ps # [02:31] :) [02:33] ah yes. [02:35] man, my kde is pretty wierd tonight... anything I do there is a delay of half second [02:35] I guess my compiz is buggy [02:35] MrKennie: sorry the baby is sick whats the envyng-qt thing? [02:36] martin_: installer for nvidia/ati cards [02:36] !envyng [02:36] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [02:37] MrKennie: do i get them from the adept manager? [02:37] martin_: yea, envyng-qt would be what you're after. [02:39] MrKennie: trying it right now [02:40] hi [02:41] hello all [02:43] would like alot of help using kubuntu a newbie to linux [02:43] can someone tell me the command to list ls with dates (of file creation)? [02:44] MrKennie: didnt work i get this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/57236/ [02:44] first of all install java on firefox [02:44] http://newserrado.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/flowchart2.jpg [02:44] martin_: ls -la [02:45] xweb: what do you mean [02:45] `martin_: at the command prompt type [02:45] ls -l [02:45] ok [02:45] martin_: thanks you [02:45] *thank [02:47] martin_: didn't you get any more than that in the error message? [02:47] second of all opening an e-mail account [02:47] MrKennie: no thats it [02:48] martin_: what did you get from the output of the command xweb gave you? [02:48] anthony__: is this a fresh install of kubuntu? [02:48] yes [02:49] anthony__: You will likly need to setup additional repos to get it all set up. [02:49] i really enjoying it but a newbie [02:50] repos ? [02:50] anthony__: do you know any thing about package managment? [02:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/57237/ [02:50] nope [02:53] xweb: does envyng depend on the build-essential stuff or does he need to install it as well? [02:54] most development packages depend on build essentials. [02:54] MrKennie: this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/57237/ [02:55] yea I saw [02:55] sorry [02:56] martin_: open adept manager and search for build-essential. Does it show as installed? [02:57] Hey, I installed Ubuntu, then installed kde, how can I get rid of the gnome crap on my computer? [02:57] !purekde | jparishy [02:57] jparishy: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [02:57] Thanks, MrKennie [02:57] yw [02:57] MrKennie: no its not installe [02:57] martin_: ok, install it [02:58] ubuntu-desktop, ah. I was trying to remove gnome-desktop [02:58] done [02:58] martin_: now try envyng again [02:59] jparishy: I think that only works if you use aptitude to install it [02:59] Yeah, I wasn't sure. It kept telling me that gnome-desktop wasn't installed because I had confused the names :P [03:00] MrKennie: samething === jrs is now known as Jaearess [03:00] MrKennie: same error message [03:03] martin_: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` in konsole (although I thought build-essential should have done that) [03:05] MrKennie: this is what i get: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:05] close adept [03:07] already newest version [03:08] anyone know how change clock in 4.1 to standard time [03:09] martin_: hm, you should have everything you need. I'm not sure why it's not working. [03:10] MrKennie: :( [03:11] *ping* any nvidia gurus? :) [03:12] martin_: did you have adept open while running envyng? [03:12] might be worth trying again [03:13] hello [03:13] hi [03:13] i need give internet to a pc with winXp [03:13] how i can do ?? [03:13] MrKennie: yep adept was open [03:14] MrKennie: seams to be working [03:14] martin_: ah, envy seems to download required packages and if adept was open then it gets the lock error you saw earlier [03:15] pangua: you mean like a router? [03:15] MrKennie: rebooting brb [03:16] pangua: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html might be what you're after. [03:16] MrKennie: thanks === sgallinger is now known as turkeydumper [03:24] MrKennie: I give up [03:24] martin_: still no luck then [03:25] nope [03:25] :( [03:26] MrKennie: im thinking about reinstalling [03:30] martin_: only other thing I can think of trying is using the Monitor & display settings to manually set your monitor make and model and that should add the modes you need. [03:30] martin_: I think your monitor is in the list too. [03:34] will try [03:35] martin_: I know you have an E90f+ but not sure if it's the +-3 or not. [03:35] actualy thats the crt that works fine, it's my acer AL2216W [03:36] it's in the list and the only thing I can think of that may get nvidia and your monitor to play nice with each other [03:36] ah I see [03:37] well from your logs it seemed nvidia had trouble reading the edid information from your viewsonic [03:37] hense the low res [03:38] brb [03:54] MrKennie: well now i cant even get anything showing on either screens when i enable nvidia drivers :(, guess the next step is reinstalling [03:55] martin_: you could try asking in #ubuntu, there are more users there that probably know alot more about nvidia than I do. [03:56] ok, so i need help.. i was goofing around with my resalution settings and now i cant get it back to the 1024 or whatever size it was. it's stuck on 640... HELP!? [03:56] MrKennie: im not alone [03:57] nvidia... haha, that's what i was playing around with [03:57] MrKennie: yeah i thought about that but since im not in a gnome environement i thought that they wouldnt be able to help me too much [03:57] yeaq. nvidia seems to be in a right mess atm [03:58] works great for some, poor for others. [03:58] well, it has always worked great for me.. till i decide to screw around with pretty buttons :P [03:59] so i know this was an entirely my fualt thing.. [03:59] same here but screwed around with games [04:00] what's wrong on your end? [04:00] martin_: well, your issue isn't really specific to gnome or kde [04:01] true [04:01] maxed res at 640 [04:02] martin_: well, your issue isn't really [04:02] oops [04:02] sorry [04:03] Hey, I just installed KDE4.1, and I was wondering if it is possible to update to kde4.1 yet [04:04] jparishy: say again? [04:04] Er, sorry, :P [04:04] I installed KDE4.0 [04:04] And I want to get to 4.1 [04:05] jparishy: :) kubuntu.org check the news for 4.1.2 and it has instructions to add the repos [04:05] MrKennie: Alright, thanks. Sorry for the confusion [04:05] no probs [04:06] land of nod awaits [04:06] nn [04:06] Question: Someone ran the restore partition for my laptop that restored the windows xp partition and wiped out grub. But the second hard drive still has kubuntu on it.. How can I put grub back but not wipe out kubuntu? [04:08] If you boot up a livecd, you can than reinstall grub [04:09] Either through the grub shell or grub-install, google should help there [04:10] MrKennie: what does this mean: there is a new nvidia driver released that I read fixed a lot of issues with the 8800 and up.. it's on the nvidia site. To install follow the instructions but if it's not mentioned you have to be in a different tty and have gdm stopped. [04:10] MrKennie: what other programs are there for screen resalutions on Kubuntu other then my Nvidia controls? maybe i can screw around some more and figure out my own mess? :) [04:10] land of nod?

[14:27] hi. in ubuntu if I mount something I just do sudo mount and it will work for my logged in user. but in other distros when I drop to root and do the same thing and then go back to my user, I don't have permissions to acces the folder. why? [14:32] hi. in ubuntu if I mount something I just do sudo mount and it will work for my logged in user. but in other distros when I drop to root and do the same thing and then go back to my user, I don't h [14:33] ave permissions to acces the folder. why? [14:33] depends what you are mounting and what options you give [14:34] well I do this, in ubuntu, sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/sda3 /media/stuff [14:35] other distros may have different default permissions set for a mount [14:37] hi folks - im running xchat irc on my kubuntu 8.10 and would like to be able to play .ogg files for the sounds -- is this possible and if so, how? [14:38] stdin, thanks, I'll look up how to fix that. at least now I know why, shot dude [14:40] nyad: if you can use "-o rw,umask=0000" to make it accessible from all uses, but it's less secure than "-o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000" [14:40] (where 1000 is your UID/GID as determined from 'id -u') [14:45] W8TAH yes it is possible.
