| ytoox | hi | 01:16 |
| ytoox | what package brings kcontrol on ubuntu? | 01:16 |
| ytoox | hello? | 01:18 |
| ardchoille | ytoox: apt-cache search --names only kcontrol | 01:22 |
| ytoox | ok | 01:23 |
| ardchoille | ytoox: sorry, apt-cache search --names-only kcontrol | 01:23 |
| ytoox | ok | 01:23 |
| ytoox | it only shows kcontrol autostart | 01:23 |
| ardchoille | That'll also show you how to search for stuff in the future | 01:23 |
| ardchoille | ytoox: are you in kde4? | 01:24 |

| ytoox | I need kde3 | 01:24 |
| ytoox | I installed some kde3 apps on ubuntu but the fonts are too big | 01:24 |
| ardchoille | I'm in Kubuntu 8.04 (kde3) and kcontrol is in the repos | 01:25 |
| ardchoille | But I heard that kcontrol is gone starting in kde4 | 01:25 |
| ytoox | do you know what package brings it up? | 01:25 |
| ardchoille | the package is kcontrol | 01:25 |
| ytoox | mmm | 01:26 |
| ytoox | maybe I need another repo | 01:26 |
| ytoox | like the kubuntu repo | 01:26 |
| ardchoille | it's in main | 01:26 |
| ardchoille | kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repos | 01:26 |
| ytoox | mmm | 01:26 |
| ytoox | ok | 01:26 |
| ytoox | weird cuz I don't see kcontrol anywhere | 01:26 |
| ardchoille | can you pastebin your source.list file? | 01:27 |

| ardchoille | ytoox: you're on intrepid? | 01:29 |
| ardchoille | I think that is kde4 only | 01:29 |
| ardchoille | if you're on kde4, then kcontrol is no longer in the repos | 01:29 |
| ardchoille | use systemsettings instead | 01:29 |
| ytoox | systemsettings can't change kde 3 stuff | 01:30 |
| ytoox | I installed basket note pads | 01:30 |
| ardchoille | systemsettings is a kde app | 01:30 |
| ytoox | yes, but it does not change kde3 apps | 01:31 |
| ardchoille | try this: kcmshell fonts | 01:31 |
| ytoox | basket note pads is only for kde3 | 01:31 |
| ytoox | ok | 01:31 |
| schuyler_ | EVERYTHING is huge, can anyone help me resise it? | 01:31 |

| acee12345 | <KDesk> what driver do you recommend ? | 02:10 |
| KDesk | acee12345: I am not very sure, but I think the free radeon driver should be ok | 02:14 |
| Snowball | hi | 02:14 |
| KDesk | acee12345: are the graphics slow or the overall performance? | 02:15 |
| Snowball | What happens, when I install Kubuntu 8.10 RELEASE CANDIDATE(!) on a PC and next weeks comes the final release.... Do I then have to install from new ?? | 02:15 |
| acee12345 | <KDesk> when i try to open konsole there is a 5 -7 sec lag before it comes up | 02:15 |
| KDesk | Snowball: no, you can upgrade from internet | 02:15 |
| acee12345 | <KDesk>how do i install the radeon drivers | 02:15 |
| KDesk | acee12345: I think you are using them right now. | 02:16 |
| Snowball | KDesk, Will the update affect all packages or just some packages? | 02:16 |
| Snowball | I am afraid of issues like mixing up testing and stable packages on debian | 02:16 |
| acee12345 | <KDesk> so why is 8.10 goint 10x slower than 8.04? | 02:17 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest79486 | ||

| KDesk | acee12345: and the kwin4 compositor? | 02:18 |
| Snowball | KDesk, and 8.10 only uses KDE 4, no more KDE 3, right? | 02:18 |
| ardchoille | acee12345: Did you run "top" in a terminal and see if there's an app slowing the system down? | 02:18 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: Correct | 02:18 |
| Snowball | ardchoille, no chance to get KDE 3 ? | 02:19 |

| acee12345 | cpu usage at 5% total Ram at 15% | 02:19 |
| Snowball | when I gave KDE 4 a try I really disliked it a lot | 02:19 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: You can install Hardy, but in Intrepid, kde4 is the only choice for kde | 02:19 |
| KDesk | Snowball: dont you like 4.1, or do you need 3.5? | 02:19 |
| Snowball | KDesk, first ... I dislike 4.1 | 02:19 |
| KDesk | ah | 02:19 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: Me too, I'll be staying in Hardy until it's no longer supported | 02:19 |
| Snowball | ardchoille, what chance will we have in the future? | 02:20 |
| Snowball | ardchoille, I feel like WinXP -> Win Vista | 02:20 |
| KDesk | why you both dislike kde 4.1? | 02:20 |
| Snowball | KDE 3 -> KDE 4 is kinda same shock | 02:20 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: There are dozens of other window managers. I plan to switch to Window Maker or fluxbox when Hardy is no longer supported | 02:20 |
| acee12345 | <KDesk> i guess i go back to 8.04 or even 7.10 untill these issues are fixed | 02:20 |
| Snowball | KDesk, just because *g* (+100 more reasons) | 02:21 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: http://xwinman.org/ | 02:21 |
| Snowball | thank you ardchoille | 02:21 |
| aitd | I use both 3.5 and 4.1 Mostly use the 3.5 because 4.1 crashes during some rather critical points. | 02:21 |
| KDesk | Snowball: Hardy will be suported with kde 3 12 months more, still then kde 4.3 will be out, and I think it will be very good. | 02:21 |
| aitd | Can't have that... :( | 02:21 |
| Snowball | KDesk, well when I tried KDE 4 the last time, I did not even get a chance to edit the height of the "kicker" | 02:22 |
| ardchoille | KDesk: you have a good point, I may try kde4 in 12months, things should have quieted down by then | 02:22 |
| Snowball | I wanted 2 rows of minimized windows | 02:22 |
| Snowball | and there was no chance to, only 1 row | 02:22 |
| Snowball | and all the simple preferences and options like in KDE 3 were gone | 02:23 |
| Snowball | it was so annoying | 02:23 |
| KDesk | Snowball: did you used kde 4.0? 4.1 is much better, and kde 4.2 will be ok to replace 3.5 I think. | 02:23 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: Oh, didn't know that. I don't even use a taskbar | 02:23 |
| Snowball | ardchoille, no need for minimizing windows? | 02:23 |
| KDesk | Snowball: Now it is posible with and plasmoid from kde-look.org | 02:23 |
| Snowball | guys, gimme a tip please.... Kubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 ? | 02:24 |
| Snowball | I need to install now or in 6 hours | 02:24 |
| acee12345 | 04 | 02:24 |
| Snowball | but no chance for a later installation | 02:24 |
| KDesk | Maybe if you tray K 8.10... | 02:24 |
| KDesk | tray the live cd a few minutes | 02:24 |
| acee12345 | ati+8.10=death | 02:25 |
| Snowball | acee12345, I have an ATI chip in my laptop :) | 02:25 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: If you install Interpid now and keep it up to date, then you will have the same system as when it's released as stable | 02:26 |
| KDesk | acee12345: but that is with fglrx I think with the free/normal driver it *should* be ok. | 02:26 |
| acee12345 | KDesk so how do i track the issue none of my resources seem hogged | 02:27 |
| KDesk | I have a friend that uses kde 4.1 with also no panels and with many plasmoids in the dashboard, it is also useful | 02:27 |
| Snowball | ardchoille, I am not sure how I can think of that .... in debian times it would be like installing from "testing" and later install "stable" packages | 02:27 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: This is no debian ;) | 02:27 |
| KDesk | Snowball: only change the hardy with intrepid in the sources.list | 02:27 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: The repos used for the RC will be the same repos used for the stable, the only thing is that the repos will be updated with new packages so you only need to update your system to keep up | 02:28 |
| KDesk | acee12345: ok, lets, see. run this in a konsole: | 02:28 |
| KDesk | x11perf -aa10text | 02:28 |
| Snowball | good, I think the best option is: Hardy for _now_ and when I have a fast enough internet connection again, I will set up 8.10 in about 3 month | 02:29 |
| ardchoille | Snowball: Sounds like a good plan | 02:29 |
| KDesk | Snowball: can you now download both? | 02:29 |
| KDesk | If I were you I would burn both and test both live cds. | 02:30 |
| Snowball | KDesk, yes, but the thing is ... lemme explain: | 02:30 |
| ardchoille | KDesk: his internet connection may be a problem | 02:30 |
| Snowball | the system I plan to set up is very complex, and I have a protocoll of 7.04 from about 300 packages I installed | 02:30 |
| acee12345 | KDesk http://pastebin.com/m70071bd5 | 02:30 |

| schuyler_ | what is the address for KDE4 irc | 02:31 |

| KDesk | acee12345: hehe, tray searching for all the installed gtk packages. | 02:50 |
| ardchoille | ep: If it's doing the same thing in two different OS's, chances are you need a new card | 02:51 |
| ep | okay | 02:51 |
| ardchoille | I mean, these are two completely different OS's and you're getting the same symptoms | 02:52 |
| acee12345 | KDesk wow there is a lot of gtk and i dont remember installing any of it | 02:52 |
| ardchoille | acee12345: may be deps from a package you installled | 02:53 |
| KDesk | acee12345: maybe dependencies or default installed package to have native them in gtk apps in kde | 02:53 |
| acee12345 | <ardchoille> so how do i undo this without breaking the system? | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | acee12345: scim-panel giving you problems? | 02:54 |

| ardchoille | ubuntu__: First you need a mount point: sudo mkdir /mnt/wintmp | 03:11 |
| favro | it might be mounted already in /media | 03:11 |
| glade88 | hello.. after the latest update, I could not at all use 2.6.26.7 kernel-- the system starts, but I cannot launch any apps, and it takes forever.. Using the oldest 2.6.27.4 does work, but when I launch any app (say dolphin), there is an unneeded and unnecessary lag to launch the app for about 3-4 secs.. | 03:12 |
| ubuntu__ | I checked media...it's not...ok, directory made | 03:12 |

| UbuntuHelper | pretty good | 08:39 |
| charolastra_ | stdin: where's that? | 08:40 |
| stdin | charolastra_: do you see the arrow icon by the '+' in the bottom right? | 08:41 |
| charolastra_ | yes, and the "configure shortcuts" only mentios "open/retract yakuake" which has no effect on it | 08:43 |
| stdin | that is the setting for it | 08:44 |
| charolastra_ | also, the key which it is mapped to, isn't mentioned there | 08:44 |
| charolastra_ | that setting was empty but it was mapped to scrolllock (i set that when it asked me on the first run; now i want to change it) | 08:45 |
| UbuntuHelper | how do you in IRC make the other user see text as red | 08:45 |
| stdin | charolastra_: click the settings, then the button to set the new key | 08:46 |
| stdin | UbuntuHelper: just insert the nick in the line | 08:46 |
| charolastra_ | stdin: i did; and as i said, it has abolutly no effect ... | 08:46 |
| stdin | well, that is the setting for it | 08:46 |
| stdin | try closing yakuake and starting it again maybe | 08:47 |

| stdin | Logi_Khoo: Kubuntu comes with either KDE 3 or KDE 4 | 08:56 |

| charolastra_ | well, here it was in ~/.kde4/.. and the structure of the yakuake config file is different; firstrun is under [Dialogs] here | 08:57 |

| jazman | and itd quit | 09:00 |
| charolastra_ | ah, ok | 09:00 |
| stdin | Logi_Khoo: /var/www/ is owned by root, you need to start the editor as root. "kdesu kate" would start kate as root | 09:00 |

| stdin | Logi_Khoo: it should popup a dialog asking for your password to start kate | 09:05 |
| Logi_Khoo | do i have to instal kdesu? | 09:05 |

| === alsh__ is now known as alsh | ||

| Logi_Khoo | hmm, then i guess i'll go research on samba abit | 09:17 |

| Logi_Khoo | that's copying the files into root | 09:19 |

| alarm | hello there, i need some help with an application that autostarts without knowing how :) | 10:33 |
| Zharf | bazhang_, thanks | 10:34 |
| alarm | it is about compiz-fusion . first i did create an executable sh file in the Autostart dir | 10:34 |
| alarm | and it did start. after removing the file compiz was still running on every boot. | 10:34 |
| alarm | removed also every entry from ksmserverrc , but still the same, compiz starts | 10:34 |
| bazhang_ | alarm, how about setting visual settings to none | 10:35 |
| alarm | how do i do that ? | 10:35 |
| alarm | i mean on which part ? compiz , kcontrol ? where is that setting | 10:35 |
| bazhang_ | alarm, I am currently on gnome; the quickest answer would be found in #compiz-fusion | 10:36 |
| alarm | they do not know , at least not the users that are now in the channel :) | 10:37 |
| bazhang_ | well I can take a guess then :) | 10:37 |
| charolastra | does the audio preview in konqueror need any special packages? | 10:41 |
| bazhang_ | alarm, does alt f2 kwin --replace turn off compiz? | 10:42 |
| alarm | yes | 10:44 |
| alarm | stopping it is not a problem | 10:44 |
| alarm | the problem is that it starts on every log in | 10:44 |
| bazhang_ | there should be a setting for visual effects; you need to set that to none | 10:45 |
| alarm | and i want to change that for the moment at least, as something is going wrong with systray icons and i want to check one by one | 10:45 |
| alarm | where is that ? | 10:45 |
| alarm | kcontrol ? | 10:45 |
| bazhang_ | alarm, the only thing I can suggest is go into adept package manager and remove all compiz stuff | 10:47 |
| bazhang_ | the alternative is wait for someone running kde to come and help out :) | 10:47 |
| alarm | ehe ok . i did some changes, lets see what happening | 10:48 |

| dr_willis | fire up the package manager, search/install payam | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | payam, or just install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package.. it grabs a lot of things you may want | 13:21 |
| payam | okej thank you | 13:23 |
| Goan | dr_willis, any help on configuring a network printer on kubuntu - using ip address | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | I normally install the gnome cups-manager tool and use its gui. :) its a little easier to use the the kde one | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | depends on what kind of networked printer/service its using also.. | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | Or try the cups web interface | 13:25 |

| ingo86 | anyone has an idea? | 14:47 |
| buko_ | ingo86: you're using kde4? | 14:47 |
| ingo86 | buko_: yes, kubuntu 8.10 rc | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | ingo86: right click and drag the icon , then click when you place it | 14:47 |
| buko_ | yeah, that should do the trick | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | oops , disregard my advice there ingo86 | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | that doesn't work in kde4 | 14:48 |
| buko_ | in kde4, gotta unlock the panel, the you can move everything | 14:49 |
| ingo86 | buko_: this doesn't work for me | 14:50 |
| ingo86 | i deleted the panel accidentally, now when trying to re-add the common things to the new panel i can't giva a good positioning | 14:50 |

| buko_ | remove kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 14:57 |
| jussi01 | just search for and remove all packages you have in stalled which have kde4 in the name | 14:57 |
| rohan | buko_: removing that doesn't removing the dependent packages | 14:57 |
| genii | jussi01: Won't do much for kdelibs5 for instance :) | 14:58 |

| buko_ | rohan: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 15:00 |

| DarkTan | so, should i try an upgrade? | 15:16 |
| ArShAm | genii, how can I keep my old kde3 then? | 15:16 |

| Zharf | that'd require me to download another image and waste another cd.. | 16:19 |
| genii | !debootstrap | Zharf | 16:24 |
| ubottu | Zharf: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 16:24 |

| sredna | does someone know about a up to date digikam package for kubuntu? (digikam 9.4 that would be) | 19:07 |
| ArkoldThos | sredna: if it doesn't get updated with that tool you need to add some backport repository or wait for the actualization in ubuntu repostories | 19:08 |
| sredna | ArkoldThos: i have backport repositories, but there is nothing useful in them | 19:08 |
| sredna | ArkoldThos: it seems that there isn | 19:11 |

Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 19:28 |

| dr_willis | X now uses a 'auto config' type feature. the xorg.conf can be very minimal - you however CAN still edit/tweak the xorg.conf file by adding in the proper lines, or by using an older xorg.conf | 21:24 |
| Dragonath | is there a music playing program that can match the visualizations of winamp? | 21:27 |
| dr_willis | I like bmpx, theres other players out there. | 21:28 |
| dr_willis | songbird is nice also.. but its not in the repos. gotta getit from their page. | 21:28 |
| Dragonath | can they play the winamp ones too or is it just their own? | 21:29 |
| dr_willis | No idea. I imagine winamp ones are winamp specific | 21:29 |
| dr_willis | some media players out there can or at least could use winamp skins.. not sure how many still do however. | 21:29 |
| Dragonath | ok thanks | 21:30 |
| jimmy51_ | dr_willis: so... how do you modify your setup from the cmd line? | 21:30 |
| dr_willis | jimmy51_ modify what excactly? | 21:31 |
| jimmy51_ | dr_willis: i'm using a KVM, which apparantly masks the true monitor in use to the system. i was about to manually specify the monitor in xorg.conf, but it says Configured Monitor (and the settings are automatically configured, so the settings are ignored) | 21:31 |
| jimmy51_ | where would i go to set that, if xorg.conf isn't the true config file for xserver? | 21:32 |
| dr_willis | ive seen several people in here with KVM issues.. they have to add a 'modes' lne to the xorg.conf file | 21:32 |
| dr_willis | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-276511.html has some examples.. of xorg.conf with modes lines. | 21:33 |
| dr_willis | You dont use the whole xorg.conf shown.. its just to see how mode lines are defined and where they belong. | 21:34 |
| jimmy51_ | so xorg.conf is still important? i'm confused because the comments in the file make it sound like it's been replaced with some other store | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | X is very 'auto configuring' these days.. you can still use xorg.conf - and settings in it will be used if found | 21:35 |
| dr_willis | every new release of X - seems to make it better and better at auto configuring. | 21:35 |
| jimmy51_ | ah, so is it a "configure on boot so it's not stored persistently" type of config, with the exception of making exceptions for xorg.conf settings? | 21:36 |
| dr_willis | your KVM case is a special case.. the kvm switch is not giving X the infomation it needs to properly get the mode lines. | 21:36 |
| dr_willis | configures when X starts.. not exactly on boot. | 21:36 |
| dr_willis | You are the 3rd person now in 2 weeks ive seen with KVM Issues. :) | 21:36 |
| jimmy51_ | hehe | 21:37 |
| jimmy51_ | it does decent... it just flickers a lot when the screen needs updating | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | Im all DVI montiors/conectors now.. no kvm switches here. | 21:38 |
| dr_willis | or i use 2 monitors + syngery | 21:38 |
| jimmy51_ | dr_willis: i'm off of kvm at home, but here at work i need to control 8 servers at once, in various states of OS setup (some are factory fresh and blank) | 21:41 |
| jimmy51_ | time to go. thanks for the modes tip | 21:43 |

| keith | My girlfriends machine (on kubuntu) is having trouble connecting to our router. The router assigns her an IP, then kubuntu says its disconnected, and thats it. | 22:31 |
| keith | the router still thinks she's connected, and she can manually d/c while connecting and it comes up in the logs as a deauth | 22:32 |
| keith | any clues? | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | wireless/wired? | 22:32 |
| keith | wireless sorry | 22:32 |
| keith | wpa\2-psk only | 22:32 |
| keith | G/N, the password is correct also | 22:32 |
| mighty-d | Hi | 22:33 |
| keith | i should say we're on intrepid | 22:33 |
| ardchoille | keith: help for 8.10 is in #ubuntu+1 | 22:33 |
| mighty-d | is there a package where i can get a kernel 2.4.26 for hardy or do i have to build it myself? | 22:33 |
| mighty-d | hmm, and have anyone got a wintv hvr 1950 working with pvrusb2 ? | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | mighty-d: that's kind of an old kernel | 22:34 |
| brandon_ | Yeah I want to use my wintv in ubuntu | 22:34 |
| mighty-d | ardchoille, yeah, my bad i meant 2.6.27 | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | ah ok | 22:34 |
| mighty-d | err. 2.6.26 | 22:35 |
| ardchoille | mighty-d: You'd have to compile it | 22:35 |
| mighty-d | 27 has some weird issues with pvrusb2 | 22:35 |
| ardchoille | !kernel | 22:35 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 22:35 |
| mighty-d | ardchoille, ok, thanks | 22:35 |

| kieren | Hey, any kdevelop fans? I'm having trouble linking my project | 22:37 |
| kieren | I keep getting duplicate functions errors and I can't figure out why | 22:37 |
| keith | whats your function name? | 22:38 |
| kieren | It's all the functions of a class | 22:38 |
| keith | you'll need to give them unique names - which aren't listed in the kde/qt api | 22:39 |
| kieren | qt shouldn't be used as there is no GUI | 22:39 |
| kieren | I have uploaded the project if you would like to try compiling http://www.ukdragon.com/ami.tar.gz | 22:40 |
| kieren | I can compile the files manually | 22:44 |
