KTorrent decided to start automatically when I start my session, and I don't want that. It's not in the Autostart folder, where do I have to look? I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3 [00:18] i tried to recover mode and fix xserver but i can get 800X 600 ish max [00:18] also any ideas on how to make the panel more "friendly" when it is on the side of the screen? [00:19] nvidia geforce5500 card [00:19] i'm using a kubuntu 7.10 live-cd to try and repair my grub, I reinstalled windows and it killed my grub, anyway i start up grub in the shell, then I try the find command which doesn't find /boot/grub/stage1 , then i tried checking the geometry of (hd0) it appears to be my second sata drive but all OS-es are on the other IDE drive but grub doesn't appear to see it. I tried (hd1) but no help. [00:20] hd0 and hd1 arent the right one? [00:20] JontheEchidna, cant find any desktop effects there :o [00:20] nope [00:20] Nikke: Oh, I assumed you were using KDE4 where there actually are effects [00:20] weird...ive never heard of that happening...hd0 is your primary...which..by default grub installs to it........ [00:21] Robb_M: hd0 is my sata disk and hd1-7 are nonexistant [00:21] um.......hmmmmm [00:21] JontheEchidna, i am using kubuntu rc [00:21] so......it installed to a non-existent drive? [00:21] Nikke: the first section in the Desktop Section should be desktop effects [00:21] ubuntu exists on my ide drive [00:22] JontheEchidna, hehe stupied me.. sorry [00:22] but now grub thinks my SATA drive is the only one [00:22] looks like there is a kde4.2 alpha out, anychance is it in the repos? [00:22] :P [00:22] shadowhywind: too busy with releasing intrepid [00:23] tried to recover mode and fix xserver but i can only get 800X 600 res max nvidia geforce5500 card [00:23] JontheEchidna: so take it its not in there then huh? hehe [00:23] and then we'll be doing 4.1.3, so 4.2 alpha is somewhat low on the priority list right now [00:23] JontheEchidna: intrepid comes out tomorrow right? [00:23] yes [00:23] JontheEchidna: *nod* [00:23] though if you have been keeping up with updates you have it now [00:24] hola [00:24] the trick to not format any drives but select the rght ones in the installer doesn't work either because it refuses to proceed without formatting the root partition Robb_M [00:24] JontheEchidna: should probably do a quick update right now, before the servers gets hit, hehe (did an update yesterday or the day before) [00:25] yeah, they'll be hammered alright [00:25] JontheEchidna: i remember with gutsy it was like a good hour or two just to do updates after the install [00:26] i mean hardy to upgrade from gutsy [00:26] anyone know where I get kde4-window-decorator? [00:27] i guess nobody knows [00:27] !nvidia [00:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:28] what is the program that auto installs .deb s ?

[00:32] there's usually a kde 3.5.9 package that i install that has a bunch of fonts and whatnot that seems to rectify things [00:32] anybody know what i'm talking about? [00:33] mot_, you have to set that gtk apps will use qt look [00:33] mot_: msttcorefonts? [00:33] yea i just installed kde 4.1 via ubuntu 8.10rc so i didn't have the gtk-qt-engine [00:33] jtechidna, it may be msttcf buuuuut there's usually some random kde 3.5.x package [00:34] let me get the theme engine and those fonts and we'll see what happens [00:34] hi [00:34] anyway, my panel is very buggy, the icons for xchat, kopete and such are dissparing and the panel gets all black sometimes [00:34] are there gonna be any kde 4.1 improvements from 8.10rc to final? [00:34] are there any first person shooters for linux with a world war 2 theme? [00:34] or is UT2004 the only game for linux?

(/maniatic) jajaja [00:45] my screen resolution is too small help me please [00:47] cuznt, tell the channel the kind of video card, monitor type/connection, and if you have installed the proper video card drivers yet. [00:47] what is the best way to run an /rmp [00:47] .rpm* [00:47] !rpm [00:47] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [00:47] best is to NOT use the rpm and find a .deb [00:48] so I just read XD [00:49] just use apt-get install [00:49] it should do what you want [00:49] what are you trying to install ? [00:49] global shortcuts don't seam to work, any ideas? === olivier is now known as _curieux_ [00:50] its says intrepid launch for gnome is the 30th of oct is it the same for kubuntu?

[00:50] @wayneward: yes [00:50] i thought i saw something about it being broken in intrepid [00:51] global shortcuts are... very iffy at best [00:51] wicked [00:51] @shadowhywind: global shorcuts of what app? [00:51] stuff like alt+f2, crtl+esc works but printscr doesn't work, for example [00:51] wayneward [00:51] i just installed the beta :-( did nt realise it would be out so soon! [00:52] @jtechidna: just configure properly your keyboard. works fine for me =) [00:52] AL3X^^: for everything, for desktop effects/compiz for calling scripts from keyboar shortcuts, etc [00:52] final is due out tomorrow. :) [00:52] wayneward: as long as you keep the system up to date, you'll have the same thing as the release [00:52] @wayneward: there is already an RC [00:52] thats brill [00:52] ah right so just update and i have it! [00:52] thats even better! [00:53] @wayneward: yes, just wait 48 hours and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ;) [00:53] @shadowhywind: try going to contol center, and change keyboard type. (play with config) [00:53] im on the RC version ill do that save all the reinstall hassle [00:54] wayneward: I do that nightly anyway [00:54] not a bad idea [00:54] ill do that [00:55] @ardchoille: You're doing an "dist-upgrade" every night :S ? why not just "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" ? [00:55] well, I have this in ~/.bash_aliases: alias updateall='sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade [00:55] now my max screen resolution can only be 640 x 480 50 hz [00:56] @ardchoille: Nice ^^ [00:56] is there anyone who can help me with that? [00:56] @cuznt: What G. Card do you have? (ATI or NVidia) ? [00:56] nvidia [00:56] i did [00:56] !nvidia [00:56] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:56] !nvidia | cuznt [00:56] cuznt: please see above [00:56] i just did that [00:56] and it made it smaller [00:57] @cuznt: Just install envy ;) and it will do it all for you. [00:57] it was 800 x 600 [00:57] did you reboot? are you using dvi/vga connection? are you using a KVM switch? [00:57] cuznt: Can I Pm you? [00:57] vga conn i believe [00:57] i did reboot [00:57] @cuznt: Just do it the "envy" way. [00:57] i tried recovery x server [00:57] did you install/run the nvidia-settings tool with 'sudo nvidia-settings' and try setting the res? [00:58] i am not sure dr [00:58] !envy [00:58] 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 [00:58] sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:58] dont mess with envy untill everything else fails [00:58] is what i did [00:58] and its nvidia-settings, not nvidia-xconfig for the gui [00:59] NO X = gui tool.. :) with a X = console tool.. figure that out.. [00:59] @rd_wills: Why not? Envy is way more easy that editing conf manually. [00:59] envy is not supported.. and never has been.. its best to avoide using it IF the normal methods work [00:59] If it works good for you.. if it blows up your pc.. well.. too bad. [00:59] :) [01:00] it had worked nice for me every time I needed it. [01:00] and its envyng normally these days.. not nv. [01:00] it does not let me go above 640 x 480 [01:00] count yourself lucky [01:00] =) [01:00] cuznt, are you using a KVM switch? CRT monitor? LCD monitor? [01:01] !worksforme [01:01] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [01:01] crt i would guess [01:01] a dell tv like monitor [01:01] guess? YOu cant tell? [01:01] is it a flat panel? or a big TUBE like thing? [01:01] CRT [01:01] i dont know what a kvm switch is [01:01] not an lcd for sure [01:02] LCD+DVI makes X a lot smarter about knowing what res's to use. [01:02] so i would say crt [01:02] check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to see what 'Driver' you are using.. there should be a line like ------> " Driver 'nvidia' " in it. [01:03] grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:03] --> should show at least one line with 'nvidia' in it.. not 'nv' [01:03] yes [01:04] Driver "kbd" Driver "mouse Driver "nvidia" [01:04] So it does seem to be using the nvidia driver.. thats good. Its very likely you just need to tell it the modes to use. [01:04] what release of ubuntu are you using anyway? [01:04] latest [01:04] plus kde 4.1 [01:04] Well given that a new releae is out tomorrow.. 'latest' is vague [01:04] :) [01:05] jajaja [01:05] * cuznt is vauge [01:05] lsb_release -a [01:05] shows the exact info [01:05] just nothiced the debian version is lenny/sid would have thought it would had been the ubuntu version?! [01:06] 8.4 [01:06] 8.04.1 [01:07] cuznt, you should proberly backup your xorg.conf just in case with ------> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old_working_copy [01:07] then you can try tweaking the xorg.conf manually [01:07] You may want to pastebin your current xorg.conf also so others can look at it..

[02:21] both really [02:21] will apt-cache do all packages, or installed only? [02:22] all [02:22] thanks [02:22] but if you're looking for a file in a package that isn't installed, you might want to install and use apt-feil [02:22] *apt-file [02:23] legodude: do you use ~/.bash_aliases ? [02:23] is there anyway to change alt-tab behavior so that shift is not needed to reverse direction [02:23] ardchoille: nope [02:24] well [02:24] sometimes [02:24] legodude: alias namesearch='apt-cache search --names-only' [02:24] then just use namesearch package-name-here [02:24] yeah [02:24] I usually stick them in my .profile [02:25] that works [02:25] hrm [02:25] I think though I had a better way of doing this a while ago [02:25] I thought I downloaded some program [02:26] I don't remember having to update apt-file before [02:27] legodude: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/PkgMgr [02:32] hi [02:36] ardchoille: Would you know why HTOP shows me as having 2 CPUs when I, in fact, only have 1 CPU. [02:36] are you sure about that? [02:36] what cpu do you have? [02:36] Possibly hyperthreading CPU [02:36] yeah [02:37] do a cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:37] Someone who can tell me why xchat icon isn transparant in kde but in gnome? :) [02:38] draik: I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgable about htop [02:38] Nikke: Because it's a GTK application [02:38] yeah, GTK [02:38] ardchoille: Not a problem. Thank you. [02:38] genii, ok i quess i have to make a own transparant icon then? [02:39] Nikke: Probably :) [02:39] genii, hehe okey [02:39] Nikke: Never turn down a chance to play in gimp :) [02:40] ardchoille, sorry for make you sad now but im probably gonna do it in photoshop on my school laptop :) [02:40] hehe [02:40] hehe [02:40] anyway, my second question.. is it just me or is the panel in new kubuntu kde 4.1 panel very unstable? [02:41] the tray icons changes background and sometimes the whole panel just dies [02:41] ive noticed graphic corruption on the panel and the kick off menu is to big for my asus 701 :-( [02:43] is there any way to remove the transparency from the panel? [02:43] well it was small on 8.4 when i upgreded to 8.4.1 the kick of menu went to big and i lost my log on notification [02:43] well i get a notification but its all broke up? [02:43] the sound [02:44] ive only just started testing so not posted because its release 2morro [02:44] ill test after upgrade and post all my bugs in one go [02:49] does kde 4.1 in 8.10rc run/render/draw "slow" for anyone? [02:50] my apps, my windows, minimizing/maximizing just seems to draw pretty slowly. i'm on a brand new laptop with a 512mb nvidia 9600m gt [02:52] im thinking of upgrading my asus to 1gig of ram to run kde 4 [02:52] its a bit slugigsh [02:52] sluggish sorry [02:52] wayneward: Can't hurt [02:52] yes i think it will be great then! [02:53] have you tried disabling desktop effects [02:53] i have a nvidia 256meg 6600 and its fine with the latest nvidia driver smooth as a baby [02:54] wayneward: cpu is 6600 or video? [02:54] i disabled desktop effects and now it runs great [02:54] my nvidia is 6600 and the chip is a amd 3000+ [02:55] are you using the nv driver or nvidia driver? [02:58] Nikke, how do you disable desktop effects then? [03:10] im having this strange problem in kde4 after a while my machine starts slowing and i can see disk activity its like a loop i sometimes have ctrl alt del to kill the X server anyone else have this problem.. [03:10] could do with a fix for it!! [03:11] I have two dvds here from blockbuster, and neither of them will play in VLC or Mplayer [03:11] !dvd [03:11] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:11] wayneward: Likely your swap partition is being used a lot due to lack of ram [03:11] * DaSkreech hands scary coffee to genii [03:12] should i turn of swap or just add more ram [03:12] DaSkreech: Yay, coffee! [03:12] wayneward: Turning off swap will likely worsen it [03:12] wayneward: add more ram add more swap [03:12] I have the restricted extras package, and watched a dvd successfully before... just wierd that two separate DVDs wont play now, and even dolphin recognizes their titles and files [03:12] wayneward: So that leaves more ram, then enlarge the swap partition as well [03:13] ill just add a gig of ram im not meant to have swap on the asus as its solid state disk [03:14] Ah. Yes, good plan in that regard then. [03:14] i think a gig will be enough [03:14] Is there a difference between ubuntu extras and kubuntu extras? [03:15] its been fine with 512 ram till i upgraded ! [03:15] Hi. [03:15] firefox chews loads of ram! and konqueror just keeps crashin so im in a pickle!! ha ha [03:15] How do I install from source? The instructions say "just type make". I did and I get errors. I'm trying to install PS3. Here is the link to the site/download: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Monitoring/ps3-6090.shtml [03:16] Are there any themes available for KDE out of the box, like Blubuntu for Ubuntu? [03:16] wayneward: opera? [03:16] wayneward: I'm "forced" to use opera [03:16] yes i may try that now [03:16] can i get that through apt? why are you forced to use opera [03:16] wayneward: It takes up to 2-3 minutes to load and then it's about 5 seconds of usage before it freezes for about 1-2 minutes... rinse and repeat. [03:16] wayneward: no, you get it from their website [03:17] ah ill take a look many thanks i tried renicing firefox which works [03:17] i may create a launcher that just renices it [03:18] !source [03:18] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [03:18] wayneward: If it's firefox, might be pages with flash content. I have this issue occasionally [03:18] ah yes thats a good point [03:19] jack__: Huh? [03:19] ill remove the plugin from konquorer and test again [03:19] cheers [03:19] I wish it was that easy for my Firefox issue. Google.com doesn't have anything major that would cause issues. I click on the address bar and then I can get a letter or two for the site address before it freezes on me. [03:20] DaSkreech: I'm using the default Crystal/QtCurve theme right now. What kind of themes would I download to replace Crystal/QtCurve. [03:20] jack__: KDE3 ? [03:20] How do I install from source? The instructions say "just type make". http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Monitoring/ps3-6090.shtml [03:20] Yes. [03:20] Installed just yesterday. [03:20] draik: The url entry bar of firefox, or the text entry field of google ? [03:20] What's this? libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. [03:20] genii: address bar [03:21] go to medibuntu [03:21] add the repos and install libdvdcss2 [03:21] to fix [03:21] !medibuntu | bobbo85 [03:21] bobbo85: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:21] draik: This hapens when you have like 10,000 urls you have typed in previously. It wants to try dynamically listing the matches letter by letter as you type them in [03:21] jack__: kde-look.org [03:22] Yeah I'm there. But which section? Themes/Styles -> KDE 3.2 - 3.5 [03:22] okee sleep time good bye my friends [03:22] jack__: sounds good [03:22] draik: I occasionally use the Tools...Clear Private Data feature to clear it all out [03:23] genii: It's a new install. No addresses coming up. It's all cleared at the end of FF sessions. Trying "bash.org" or even "youtube.com" would let me put 2 letters in before the freeze. [03:23] Like, I like the QtCurve theme on the second page. [03:23] I'm downloading the .tar.bz2 right now. [03:23] I was viewing HTOP and it drops CPU to 0.0% [03:23] Now is it easy to install themes like Ubuntu where I can drag them? [03:23] Or is there a different way? [03:23] draik: Hmm. I haven't seen that behaviour before [03:24] jack__: It's harder than Ubuntu unfortunately [03:24] Boo. I'm reading the "README" in the archive. [03:24] The directions kind of...suck. [03:24] genii: Seems that nobody else has either. I've reported the bug and nothing. [03:25] thanks draik, which medibuntu repository should i add if i'm using kubuntu kde4? [03:25] whats better then kompozer [03:26] bobbo85: I don't think it matters. Honestly, I'd go with what seems compatible for your setup (32- or 64-bit system) [03:26] draik: Do you have some extension like URL Entry Helper ? [03:26] genii: Nope. No extensions [03:27] How do I install OpenGL and SDL 1.2.5 or newer?

[04:03] Nikke: Apologies, did not know they merged already [04:03] genii, =) [04:04] is it stable version of kde in 8.10? [04:04] depends on who you ask :) [04:04] it feels very unstable for me :P [04:04] i had to disable all effects, but thats because my gfx card sucks [04:05] but it feels very unstable.. plasma crashes from time to time [04:06] it has crasched several times just in a couple of hours [04:09] anyone know if mpd can play locally and stream at the same time?

[04:19] Nikke: coz u said it isn't stable [04:19] bibstha, ah okey ;) [04:19] Nikke: probably sth wrong with drivers, [04:19] sth?

[05:01] I don't think it's kubuntu anyway [05:02] do I need to Add the Terminal program? [05:02] ah found the terminal [05:03] Techlari: You have regular Ubuntu then and not Kubuntu. But either way the command: lsb_release -r should tell you what distribution [05:04] trying to run the terminal but the Update (package) manager starts running and the terminal shut down [05:04] it's like running on limited space and if not having enough space it cancels the new process [05:05] Techlari: Let the other thing finish or error out then [05:07] it doesn't want to start, it loads for a bit and close down [05:07] maybe my hardware is too poor on this computer, not sure what speed the processor are, but I have 1GB ram put in [05:08] Techlari: When you hit alt-tab does it cycle through the apps?

[05:19] 1 is 61Gb and other is 80Gb+ [05:19] OK [05:19] graphics card might be troubling though [05:19] but not sure it should effect the install [05:20] and so far I haven't noticed gfx problems (mainly cause I haven't been running any programs with 3D) [05:21] it's 2 Maxtor harddrives [05:24] Techlari: You could try during cd boot, at the menu it gives: f5 then before the "---" put a kernel option like vga [05:25] ok just write there? [05:25] ok I'll try it, be back in a while I presume [05:25] Techlari: Yes, then hit Enter to use that as an additional option to use during boot [05:25] I'll be here :) [05:26] Thanks mate [05:27] does anybody know, should and md5sum of a mounted image of a hard drive be the same as the md5sum of the original hard drive (image was made with dd)? or is there a better way to ensure the image matches the original?

Then compare the md5sums [05:38] live_CD_user: You can also loopmount the dd image, then rsync the drive contents to it [05:39] genkii: ok I didn't find 'kernel' anywhere, did you mean High Contrast, Magnifier, Screen Reader, Braille Terminal, Keyboard Modifiers, On-Screen Keyboard ? [05:40] genii: great idea on the small image test, thanks. [05:40] Techlari: No. There is a way to edit the kernel load line, but it's been so long now.

Some bug report on launchpad regarding this suggests to turn off BIOS virus checking [06:01] something with the harddrives I guess [06:01] Techlari: "can't write to disk" could also mean there is a bad sector or such [06:15] well I guess I shall hit the bed kinda slow in here right now [06:15] night night [06:15] l3ddude: Sleep well [06:16] what time is Intrepid stable actually going to be released for download? [06:16] night all [06:16] ardchoille: I don't think anyone actually knows [06:16] ok [06:16] I'll just burn another CD but a DVD instead, Ryan said that a DVD disc solved many ppls problems [06:17] ardchoille, rc is stable :) [06:17] i dont think they are gonna do some major updates before they releases the final [06:17] Nikke: good point [06:17] would take a lot of work for a full spin [06:18] I was just wanting to try the livecd [06:18] ardchoille, =) [06:18] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.10 shows 3 hours ago was supposed to have been [06:18] logging now, bye [06:18] genii: thanks [06:19] ardchoille: You're welcome [06:19] oh and thanks for the help anyways :) [06:19] bye bye [06:19] genii: well I don't see any way to download 8.10. The download link at kubuntu.org allows downloading 8.04 [06:19] Sorry, had not refreshed the page :) 6 hours now [06:21] I'll have to wait, the rc is the only thing available [06:23] ardchoille, as i said rc is stable [06:24] downloading [06:24] gotta love wget -c [06:24] :) [06:24] 29 hours :( [06:24] * genii blinks [06:25] it's settling down.. [06:25] * ardchoille tries a diff server [06:26] ah, this is ore like it [06:27] 160.39K/s ETA 1:02:36 [06:28] Yes, that's livable :) [06:29] whoa, just learned I could have a console as a tab in konversation [06:29] release day, no? [06:29] in update-manager i have a lot of kde updates how do i get rid of it? [06:29] niklauz: In some time zones :) [06:29] pan_: you install the updates [06:29] ;) [06:29] its like a long list [06:30] pan_: you're going to install them eventually, right? [06:30] i dont even use kubuntu [06:30] hm [06:30] pan_: If you don't ue kubuntu why are you here? [06:30] the package manager only updates the things you have installed, so evidentally you have some kde packages installed [06:31] i haven't given it a chance i have it cause i installed ubuntu ultimate 1.9 [06:31] !ultimate [06:31] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [06:31] genii: :) [06:32] kubuntu is loaded in sessions when i start up in gdm startup right? [06:32] or am i wrong? [06:32] i type in konquerer and it loads like a nautilus [06:34] pan konqueror also serves as a file manager in kde [06:34] pan_: Any QT based application you use requires kde libraries behind it to load [06:34] right [06:34] oh [06:34] hi, how do I search for stuff in the new adept? the search field doesn't seem to work [06:35] are there any speed hinderances with kde4? [06:35] Hello? === rex_ is now known as Oidis [06:35] delian: no, I didn't notice any speed issues. still quite some rough edges though (imho) [06:36] hrm [06:36] Ive just dist-upgraded, and lost X [06:36] sba61: i'm using gnome; so it's just kubuntu-kde4-desktop, yes? [06:37] kubuntu-kde4-desktop , yes [06:37] delian: yep [06:37] That's what's in my hardy repos [06:37] heh, and that's it? [06:37] might be kubuntu-desktop with ibex now :/ [06:37] can somebody help me? i made a backup of my computer and i had to use it, i got KERNEL PANIC and now i cant reinstall the Kubuntu, it writes "Buffer I/O error no device sda, logical block 0. PLZ SOMEBODY HELP ME [06:38] hmm. i'm on intrepid, i don't have the kubuntu-members-kde4/ repository, but the regular ones with backports/universe. [06:38] delian: It's a meta-package.. it pulls in all the needed components of kde4. You'll see when you go to install it [06:40] bulbec: That sounds suspiciously like failed hard drive. [06:40] anyone have an idea how I can get X up and running on my laptop? [06:40] I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xorg [06:40] but startx says "error no screens found" [06:41] genii i dont really know whats that. im new on this, cau u tell me plz how can i fix my problem? === jakub is now known as james === james is now known as James [06:42] hi all [06:42] bulbec: Try removing that hard drive from the computer and replacing it with one you know is good. Then attempt installing Kubuntu onto this replacement drive. === James is now known as Guest67073 === Guest67073 is now known as JamesSVK [06:43] when will be 8.10 relase?? [06:43] i've installed it in another hard drive and its OK, but the other one dont want to work [06:43] JamesSVK: some time today [06:44] thanks [06:44] because i look for it on kubuntu homepage and still nothing [06:46] ohh and one simple question: I need some backup software, which will backup files and MYSQL database === Cueball is now known as Cueball|Away [06:47] JamesSVK: tar can do that [06:47] there's also a gui app called Keep that is supposed to be a good backup utility [06:47] ive tryed keeep [06:47] *keep [06:47] I like tar.. it's simple, fast, and I can throw it in a cronjob :) [06:48] and try to backup full system via root [06:48] JamesSVK: I think acronis is backup software? [06:48] acronis? [06:48] JamesSVK: alot of people use tar or rsync it seems [06:49] ok i try it, thanks [06:49] JamesSVK: http://www.acronis.com/ I don't know if its in the repos or free or much of anything other than it exists [06:51] but acronis is not OpenSource, isnt it? [06:51] no idea [06:51] I've just heard people say it saved their butt [06:52] I don't see anything related to "acronis" i the Hardy repos [06:53] guess its not there, like I said, it may be enterprise level stuff that costs, I'm just aware of its existence [06:53] might be in the partner repo or something [06:54] No, I have partner enabled and apt-cache draws a blank [06:54] hmm, 15 day free trial from the website, guess its not free, oh well I'd look into tar/rsync then [06:55] I just use tar in a cronjob and let the system get backed up while I sleep [06:55] JamesSVK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 51 pages of backup discussion [06:56] powertool08: hehe [06:56] i got 10 same computers and i want to install ubuntu on both [06:56] can i copy partition + setup grub? [06:56] wait... actually its 70 [06:57] JamesSVK: then I would look into use PartImage to make an image of the first install and then use that image to install onto the other machines. That's what I do and installing the image onto the others takes about 4 minutes per machine [06:58] JamesSVK: There's a nice livecd that has a ton of admin tools on it including PartImage: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [07:00] * ardchoille wonders if the bot knows about it [07:00] !sysresccd [07:00] SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [07:00] heh, nice [07:03] !powertool08 [07:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about powertool08 [07:03] ta mañana! , que descansen o/ [07:03] :( [07:03] ok. then [07:05] thanks again [07:05] you save my time :) [07:08] hi [07:08] somebody online? [07:09] sure [07:09] hi [07:10] do you know what hour 8.10 will be released? [07:13] antonio23: You might as well download the rc, as far as I know there weren't any huge bugs that would have required a complete rebuild [07:13] the final [07:13] the final hour [07:13] prepare yourself [07:13] the iterative release is nigh [07:14] * genii makes more coffee! [07:20] hehe [07:20] I tried to upgrade my 8.04 system [07:20] and now I cannot start it [07:21] I am on my vista partition now === bibstha is now known as mv === mv is now known as bibsth === bibsth is now known as bibstha [07:24] antonio23: Any informative error messages it gives? [07:25] mmm [07:25] it starts, I can see the mouse but then appears a message just before I can log in [07:26] and then appears a kind of DOS [07:26] antonio.login [07:26] anybody know if there'll be a (easy) way to keep KDE3 while upgrading the rest of the system to 8.10? [07:27] antonio23: Not any error. Just no graphical system. [07:28] yurimxpxman: install KDE3 manuallz [07:28] yurimxpxman: If you have kde3 now, you'll have it afterwards [07:28] yurimxpxman: install KDE3 manually [07:29] genii: are you sure? I'm afraid it'll wipe out those old packages.. honestly, I *hate* KDE4. I'd sooner use GNOME [07:30] yurimxpxman: I'm sure. I had on my testing partition 8.04/kde3 which went to 8.10RC and kde3 stayed intact [07:31] genii: well, that's good to hear.. but will it break anything, like default apps or something? [07:32] yurimxpxman: So far have not noticed any kde3 applications breaking. But I use generally just basic things [07:32] genii: I haven't used KDE4 in a while.. how is it right now? [07:32] yurimxpxman: Some like it. I don't. [07:33] genii: for me, it's not even that it's not finished yet. I really hate the new interface.. everything they changed, period. [07:34] how do i get ubuntu | kubuntu laptop stickers? [07:34] yurimxpxman: Well, can add "classic" kmenu which helps some. But I'm not crazy about plasmoids [07:34] bibstha: Visit the store [07:34] !store [07:34] Buy some Official Ubuntu Merchandise & Professional Support. See https://shop.canonical.com/ [07:34] bibstha: they also come in the shipit cd packages [07:35] They limit shipit now to 1 copy :( [07:35] genii: how come? previously it was order as much as you can.. [07:35] genii: I hadn't heard that :( [07:35] Sad but true [07:35] bibstha: Previously it was, yes [07:36] In fact I ordered 25 CDs from them once [07:37] genii: plasma's what I hate most about KDE4. No matter how many features they come up with, we'll still be stuck with plasma [07:38] Hmm. I see in shipit now they have still multiple orders available but it's special request [07:39] is there any way to turn plasma off or hide the panel altogether? [07:39] ardchoille: just remove the panel? [07:40] there's an idea [07:40] ardchoille: plasma isn't a panel. It's the engine that generates all the applets, panels, icons, etc [07:40] ardchoille: it's pretty much all the chrome material on the desktop [07:41] I never liked all that eye candy anyway [07:41] ardchoille: I hate eye candy. That's all KDE4 is, imo [07:41] guess I'll be using fluxbox :) [07:43] how do you make article fonts in akregator smaller? === ubuntu_ is now known as llll === llll is now known as llllllllllllllll === ronnie_ is now known as amd-64_ === ocs is now known as faLUCE [08:33] Hello, i cant start mu hadr disk, after typing dmesg | agrep ata5 i got a message that says@PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i 8042" can somebody tell me plz how to resolve my problem and make work the hard disk, im new on linux and im desperate === word|away is now known as word === genii-2 is now known as genii [09:11] WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BLURTOOTH SHIT??!!

[11:21] also another strange thing to tell you is [11:21] or upgrade I mean [11:21] that even after i had changed my computer to non-us language, not all the menus showed in the second language [11:22] nicola_: 8.10 has the 2.6.27 kernel with some new generic webcam drivers [11:22] only it showed in the few places [11:22] When will they release 8.10, shouldn't it be today? [11:22] probably today in the US Handcrafted [11:22] esp say when i try to browse a file which i have to upload as an attachement to a mail its then when the second language showed up [11:22] you'll have to wait a few more hours :) [11:22] pritam* oh...then what about the System Language?

(after installing the OS from CD? [11:30] pritam: they will give you steps on that site on how to change your sources list, and it will fix that problem of yours :) [11:30] JuJuBee, yes.. but you have to watch out for it insxtalling things like nvidia drivers and other drivers you dont need. [11:31] On the original I did not install and proprietary video drivers. [11:31] *any [11:31] Does it matter that one box is Intel and the other is AMD? [11:32] shouldent matter much. YOu can check the list and delete anything that you think may cause problems [11:32] ok [11:32] nvidia and wireless drivers are the 2 things taht come to mind on my machines when i clone them that way [11:32] K, thanks [11:32] anyone know of a nice tool to remove unused kernels ? [11:33] run out of free space on /boot so need to do some house keeping [11:33] The package manager should be able to do that. [11:33] jussi01: still here buddy? [11:34] I always keep 2 kernels.. just in case. [11:34] yeah i plan to [11:34] but was hoping for a idiots version, specifically for the task [11:34] but i dont bother with a seperate /boot partion much any more [11:34] i dont use ext2/3 for / [11:34] Heh . 8.10 has a 'cruft' remover tool.. :) [11:34] cruft? [11:35] dr_willis : what about sata vs. IDE HD? [11:35] JuJuBee, what about it? theres no specific drivers for them if thats what you mean. [11:36] Yes, that is what I meant Thanks [11:36] jussi01: I found this : http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx [11:36] a_c_m, now ya know why i plan on filing a bug on the 'name' of the tool/description. :) not everyone understands the word cruft... as in 'excess material/junk/dust' [11:36] jussi01: what do think about?? [11:36] Hi, I have a macbook pro with an US English keyboard. I'm french and I need accent. I heard that there is an existing way to enable (somehow) to type accent like for example alt + ' + e [11:36] It is only a project [11:37] humm [11:37] dr_willis: but no tool for doing that in 8.3 ? [11:37] a_c_m, nope.. just use the package manager and uncheck the ones you dont need [11:38] humm ok [11:39] dr_willis: k thanks === echidnaman is now known as JontheEchidna [11:40] jussio1: are you jussi01?? [11:41] a_c_m: what fs do you use? reiser?

Better than the dolphin on Hardy [11:46] yeah kde4's dolphin is nice [11:47] kde4 dolphin is waaaaay better than kde3 dolphin [11:47] The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to change the color of the panel [11:47] currently you'll have to get a theme in the color of your choice [11:47] kde3 dolphin = no resize of detail col's [11:48] which made it unusable imho [11:48] kde3 dolphin = a crashy buggy mess in general [11:52] a_c_m: wow XFS? ain't that better for tons of bigger files?

[14:19] genii: totally [14:19] Cool [14:20] jonathan__: I had a lot of trouble with the "Activate" button not working [14:21] I was trying to install the propiety Nvidia 173 drivers, [14:23] It suddenly worked after a restart, I had also reset xorg.conf and tried nvidia-xconfig [14:23] Please help. I had compiz installed and i decided to remove it. when i did, i searched for all packages with compiz in the name and removed them. this caused the frames around all windows (the title bar with the "x") to no longer be there. also, my task bar only shows one desktop and none of the programs that start automatically [14:23] if I upgrade to 8.10, will my amarok/basket or some apps related kde3.5 be removed? [14:24] Aranel: well... 8.10 uses KDE3's amarok... [14:24] Let the seeding begin [14:24] faileas: ok, so it seems it doesnt remove kde3 libraries. [14:24] also, i can't get to adept manager to install anything else because that boot up automatically [14:27] are vmware tools available as an ubuntu package elsewhere? [14:28] Aranel: no. konversation and amarok are both kde3 apps, least on my install [14:28] Is there a way to use kde 3.5 with kubuntu 8.10= [14:28] ? [14:28] Please use torrent!! [14:28] any kubuntu torrent out there? [14:28] maybe if someone has a ppd [14:28] I don't want to use kde 4 [14:28] just a periodic reminds to DIGG IT: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Kubuntu_8_10_Released_refreshes_the_desktop [14:29] we can't let Ubuntu beat us to the front page, lol [14:29] relas: there;s one mentioned on the forum [14:29] intrepid is out? [14:29] >_> [14:29] hooray release anouncement =) [14:29] ooh. i hadn't noticed that [14:29] then again i have been running it all week *g* [14:30] JontheEchidna: are there any torrent links? do you know something? :D [14:30] Update tht frontpage! [14:30] PeperJohnny: download links should be in the news story [14:30] anybody use ramlog? I installed the deb from the freshmeat site and no matter how much ramdisk space I allot to it, it never starts up on boot up... anyone know what the issue can be? [14:31] oh, no torrent links [14:31] I'll add them to the digg story [14:31] yes :/ [14:31] ok nice thank you =) [14:31] www.kubuntu.org is now updated [14:32] could it be because I have several daemons writing logs? how can I get ramlog to run before anything else that may write to the logs? [14:32] you just can download the 8.10 with kde 3? [14:32] is there a final release yet? [14:32] Intrepid does not have KDE3, except for a few apps that don't have KDE4 ports [14:32] terrestre, 8.10 has kde4 [14:32] GDR: http://www.kubuntu.org/ <-- 8.10 is out now [14:32] GDR, yes [14:33] Kubuntu 8.10 - Featuring the mature KDE 3 and maintained until April 2010 <--- that said in the download page [14:33] From CD download page [14:33] Which release do you want? Kubuntu 8.10 - Featuring the mature KDE 3 and maintained until April 2010 [14:33] why KDE 3? [14:33] errr [14:33] yeah i ask the same [14:33] I see :) [14:33] what page says so? [14:33] hmm, ubuntu.com is getting hammered [14:34] http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [14:34] prob a typo [14:34] i have kubuntu 8.04 installed, with kde4.1 packages from ppa. will it cause any problems during upgrade? kde3 will be automatically removed? [14:34] JontheEchidna: use torrents, much faster [14:34] And when are you going to remove that huge 8.10 RC banner from frontpage? [14:34] Eruaran: the torrents are hosted on ubuntu.com ;-) [14:34] rohan: the new packages will replace the old PPA ones [14:34] its already removed [14:35] refresh its says "kubuntu 8.10 released" [14:35] Tm_T: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download says so [14:35] stdin: thanks. and kde3? will it be removed automatically? [14:35] momal: finally! [14:35] umm... its a torrent file [14:36] rohan: most of it, some bits (like the core libs) will remain to allow some KDE 3 apps to run (like Amarok and K3B) [14:36] torrent links can be found here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/intrepid/ [14:36] the page seems down for me though [14:36] cdimage will be slow, it's being hammered [14:36] try http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/tmp/torrents/ [14:36] Kubuntu 8.10 - Featuring the cutting edge KDE 4 and maintained until April 2010 <-- lol jajaja [14:36] terrestre: err. why is that funny? [14:37] http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [14:37] stdin: ok, thanks is it removing because because i'll be using adept? i.e. if i use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to 8.10, kde3 won't be removed, right? [14:37] its been updated to kde4 now instead of kde3 :p on that page [14:37] terrestre: yeah and it's gonna take that long to make a lotta things right :) === Riddell changed the topic of #kubuntu to: Official Kubuntu support | FAQ: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FAQ | Free 8.10 (KDE 4) CDs https://shipit.kubuntu.org | Pastes: http://paste.ubuntu.com | Chat in #kubuntu-offtopic | 8.10 IS OUT - Party in #ubuntu-release-party http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-release http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/tmp/torrents/ [14:37] rohan: no matter how you upgrade, KDE 3 will be removed [14:37] Hello Riddell [14:38] stdin: ok, can you tell me how? is it marked as "Obsolete"? [14:38] hi Eruaran! [14:38] Riddell: do you get to take a break now ? [14:38] ;) [14:39] google earth still doesn't run with the fglrx driver , no 3D or DRI ...this is an "upgrade" ? [14:39] i think a fresh install is better [14:39] terrestre: why? [14:40] rohan: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu for full upgrade instructions [14:40] Kubuntu 8.10 update tool crashing :/ [14:40] RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded [14:40] i dont know now, but some have issues when they just upgraded [14:40] UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 6-7: ordinal not in range(128) [14:41] arnl: report a bug please, attach files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ [14:42] stdin: oh i read them. i just wanted to know the technical reason how kde3 is removed [14:42] <_Lemon_> Hey, I have to use a proxy, however adept manager likes to crash when trying to use the proxy... is there a way I can upgrade to 8.10 from the command line? [14:42] ad [14:42] rohan: it's not removed, it's upgraded like any other set of packages === mohamed is now known as Guest15462 [14:43] 你好 [14:43] arnl: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+reportbug (running slow currently I'm afraid) [14:43] stdin: but kubuntu 8.10 release notes etc say that it doesn't have kde3 [14:43] arnl: what language are you using? [14:43] Riddell: ok i will. but cant I upgrade via terminal? [14:44] Riddell: Turkish. [14:44] rohan: it does not use the KDE 3 desktop, but has some KDE 3 libraries [14:44] stdin: is kde3 in 8.10 replaced by something like "empty" dummy packages? [14:44] arnl: mm, Turkish has problems with pykde I seem to remember :( [14:44] stdin: ah ok. thanks. [14:44] rohan: no, eg: kdebase 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2 get's replaced with kdebase 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 [14:45] stdin: right, but then why does it say "it doesn't have kde3"? [14:45] what happens to kde3 desktop etc? [14:45] rohan: it get's replaced. [14:45] it' gets upgraded to KDE 4 [14:45] Riddell: any workarounds or something ? [14:45] Riddell: like command line :) [14:45] arnl: download http://tr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/intrepid.tar.gz [14:46] stdin: exactly. that was what was confusing me - so now my system has two upgrade "paths" to KDE4. existing kde3->kde4 and ppa kde4 -> 8.10 kde4. how is that resolved? [14:46] ok downloaded. [14:46] arnl: extract and run export LANG=C sudo python dist-upgrade.py [14:47] rohan: all the old -kde4 packages from the PPA will be removed, as the ones in the official repository explicitly conflict/replace them [14:47] I heard kde 4 as problems with nvidia? [14:47] Nikke: not with newest drivers [14:47] and the newest drivers works with every card? [14:47] momal: thank you [14:47] stdin: aha, that explains it. thanks [14:47] Nikke: nope [14:48] XFX GeForce 6200A [14:48] thats my card [14:48] Nikke: supported [14:48] ok [14:48] great [14:48] thanks =) [14:48] arnl: but first save the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/* somewhere so you can report a bug with htem [14:48] so ill use the newest driver [14:50] ok. [14:51] hello.. why isn't this channel as busy as #ubuntu ? [14:52] no one rushing to install kubuntu? === johnny_ is now known as Guest18113 [14:52] wolfie2x: If you install Ubuntu you can apt-get kubuntu-desktop and have it as well [14:54] Maybe we are too busy downloading and installing our new operating system :) [14:54] for me --still downloading [14:54] wolfie2x- [14:54] genii: do u have both installed? [14:54] wolfie2x: Yes as well as other desktops [14:55] doesn't the menu's get cluttered with aps from both? [14:55] main reason why i didn't do it [14:55] i've read so on the net [14:55] * faileas did a full reinstall [14:56] just backed up everything that i felt i needed first (/home 's contents , and bookmarks/feeds) [14:56] Riddell: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/291115 [14:56] I'm not good at English, but I think i did it :) [14:57] wolfie2x: It can get frustrating. But there are a few tools to help sort out the different apps from each other [14:58] genii: any major changes from hardy to intrepid in kubuntu? [14:58] wolfie2x: the whole desktop environment? [14:58] genii: not much exciting in ubuntu (gnome) :( [14:58] haha [14:58] ya i would say there are some changes [14:59] faileas: I use gnome.. intrepid feels just like hardy to me :( [14:59] :( [14:59] wolfie2x: well this *is*#kubuntu... ;p [14:59] maybe it's more stable.. but so was hardy for me [14:59] faileas: i would like you see you try to make that face in person [14:59] faileas: I really want to try kubuntu/kde [15:00] jajaja [15:00] wolfie2x: Probably in the kde4 side of things. But right now my main desktop is kde3 [15:00] wolfie2x: in my opinion, *some* apps are less stable. akrigator crashes a lo for me for one. however i liked it enough for it to replace hardy in both my main laptop and my backup system [15:00] i tried a kde 4.1 alpha and didn't like it very much [15:00] any info about wubi? [15:01] Riddell: it works, thank you :) [15:01] seems to link the old version still [15:01] arnl: great [15:01] does the tool bars on plasmoids still appear on mouse hover? [15:01] Siegfried: the 8.10 cd i have seems to have a copy of it [15:01] ah from the sourceforge page i can get it [15:01] from the official site it links the wrong one i think [15:02] Siegfried: that and 8.10 isn't officially out long enough for them to update i think ;p [15:02] whats that app called when you put a iso on usb stick and install? [15:02] faileas: does the tool bars on plasmoids still appear on mouse hover? [15:02] lettme check [15:02] yeah when they are unlocked [15:02] thats why you lock them [15:03] supert0nes: but when it's locked u can't drag drop stuff to/from them? [15:03] wolfie2x: yeah, they seem to on mine [15:04] i can on folderview [15:04] supert0nes: ok.. that was a big annoyance for me.. [15:05] supert0nes: is there a way to have the good old desktop without plasmoids? [15:05] is anybody downloading kubuntu desktop amd64 using torrents? [15:05] not in 4.1 [15:05] but in 4.1 you can [15:05] i mean [15:05] 4.2 [15:05] I am downloading the altenate cd [15:05] supert0nes: 4.2 come in Jan 2009 ? [15:05] wolfie2x: there is, just don't use plasmoids [15:06] right [15:06] ya but he would want the icons on desktop [15:06] i just wanted to check the hash, that's all [15:06] supert0nes: no he didn't say that [15:06] Tm_T: yeah i need icons n stuff [15:06] wolfie2x: can have in 4.1 [15:07] just add folderview [15:08] * Tm_T had icons on desktop back in 2004 or so [15:08] Tm_T: if i just drag drop a picture on to the desktop from my browser where will it be saved? [15:08] wolfie2x: add folderview [15:08] Tm_T: [15:08] give me link to an iso that has size less than 650MB [15:09] Tm_T: ok i'll try this === desti_T2 is now known as desti === Eruaran is now known as Eruaran|Currentl === Eruaran|Currentl is now known as Eruaran|Seeding [15:10] I'll have to imagine there's no gnome or anything else but only KDE 'n then try it hard ;) [15:10] how do i remove the old kernel packages on my running system? [15:10] * Tm_T slaps Eruaran|Seeding [15:10] metbsd: mind a netinstall? [15:11] ow [15:11] Eruaran|Seeding: no awaynicks [15:11] I'm not away [15:11] how about boot and then install from ntfs HD? [15:11] Eruaran|Seeding: no statusnicks either, nor other nickspam [15:11] or another cd? === Eruaran|Seeding is now known as Eruaran [15:11] metbsd: you can use unetbootin for that [15:12] Eruaran: thanks [15:12] god dam it i always hear this word unetbootin, wtf does it do [15:12] how does it help me [15:12] !ohmy | metbsd [15:12] metbsd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:12] metbsd: unetbootin is a programme that lets you bootstrap a netinstall from another OS [15:13] you can run it from windows or linux, and it will download an absolute minimal installer, and get you started on a netinstall [15:13] Riddell: I have a question :) It says "upgrading ubuntu to version 8.10" but im using kubuntu? [15:13] arnl: same [15:13] ok i have 2G usb pen, so i can use unetbootin? [15:13] arnl: Kubuntu is Ubuntu [15:14] arnl: but with a K in front [15:14] Tm_T: thanks :) I was confused about KDE. I dont want to see GNOME as a surprise :) [15:14] lol === johnny_ is now known as Guest17231 === arnl is now known as Aranel [15:15] faileas: how much additional disk space would kde take on my ubuntu? === kniolet is now known as kniolet_devdays [15:16] faileas: i already have kdevelop so i guess some packages r already there.. [15:16] wolfie2x: 200-2 000 MiB [15:16] depends what you get from it [15:16] heh [15:17] Tm_T: if i just do a "apt-get kubuntu-desktop" ? [15:17] plan for atleast a half gig [15:17] wolfie2x: hmm, hard to say, perhaps some 400 MiB or way less [15:17] wolfie2x: well i think you can use an apt-get install -s kubuntu-desktop to find out [15:17] Tm_T: i only have 2GB left on my partition [15:18] wolfie2x: it's enough [15:18] Tm_T: will it impact my performance? is the free space important for linux? [15:18] no [15:18] no [15:18] you should have swap space [15:18] wolfie2x: no and as long as you have some [15:18] on a separete partition [15:19] * faileas has had kubuntu act wierd on a system that was TOTALLY full [15:19] is 2G enought for kubuntu with kde4? [15:19] ya [15:19] wolfie2x: run apt-get autoclean before and after you do the install [15:19] well [15:19] (that will clean up downloaded installer files [15:20] i can't download unetinstallboot [15:20] unetbootin [15:20] faileas: I'm copy pasting all these cmds on tomboy ;) [15:20] i can't dl it [15:20] faileas: I forget if i dont.. [15:20] metbsd: why not? [15:20] don't know [15:20] wolfie2x: i use kate for that ;p [15:20] my crappy isp maybe [15:20] what kinda error? [15:21] metbsd, http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/unetbootin/unetbootin_292_i386.deb just worked here.. :) [15:21] faileas: does KDE have mono based apps as default apps? [15:22] metbsd, as did http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/unetbootin/unetbootin-windows-282.exe [15:22] hi all [15:22] wolfie2x: not as far as i know. it uses QT natively [15:23] faileas: does kdenlive work for properly? [15:23] How can I stop the hp-systray from apearing every time when I log in? [15:24] crashes always on my gnome.. both hardy and intrepid [15:24] wolfie2x: right now that is a kde3 app [15:24] wolfie2x: i don't do video editing much ;p [15:24] when they release a kde4 stable version backports will have it [15:24] supert0nes: so what's the app for it in kde4? [15:24] intrepid has it [15:24] but its the kde3 verison [15:25] supert0nes: so kde3 apps still run on kde4? [15:25] kdenlive for kde4 looks sweet i can't wait till they release it [15:25] absolutely [15:25] i'm on konversation kde3 right now [15:26] as am i [15:26] supert0nes: yes it looks nice but crashes on every other mouse click [15:26] supert0nes: any idea how to change the themes for KDE3 apps on kde4? ;p [15:26] no i havent gotten further than making firefox look alright :) [15:27] hello do you know how to stop the system check on my net? i remember once i modified a file [15:27] supert0nes: u using ff 3.1? [15:27] i have it, but don't use it [15:27] i want to do $ mv last.fm-1.4.2.5840/bin /opt/last.fm but it says i dont have permission.. how do i change that?? [15:27] ingmar_, to mess with system directories you need to use sudo [15:27] supert0nes: not stable ? [15:27] Will Kubuntu 8.10 receive minor updates like 4.1.3 and so on or it can only be done through ppa? [15:27] ingmar_, to have root permissions [15:27] but the readme file said so .. [15:28] sudo? [15:28] Greenery: there will be security updates, and you always have the option of backports [15:28] !sudo | scribbles [15:28] scribbles: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [15:28] wolfie2x: stable enough i just like 3.03 enough to stick for now === spiro is now known as spiro_spr [15:28] i don't want to have to work to put all my addons in [15:29] i know i'm lazy [15:29] supert0nes: yeah i can't use any of my addons :( [15:29] ingmar sometimes the use of sudo or root permission in general is so natural they don't write it in the readme [15:30] ingmar_, dosent matter.. under ubuntu. if you want to do 'root' type tasks. you need to use sudo.. or be in a root shell [15:30] Greenery: I would suspect 4.1.3 will come out for intrepid standard repos but 4.2 will require either backports or kubuntu-members repo [15:30] supert0nes: have to say memory management is superb though.. never stays above 50mb.. comes right back down.. [15:30] and the new javascript engine/flash integration seem tons better [15:30] ingmar_, also many non-ubuntu type disrtos do not use sudo as much, or at all. :) [15:31] supert0nes: yeah it's super fast.. specially on gmail [15:31] and facebook [15:31] qqun parle français ici ? [15:32] !fr [15:32] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:32] c'est par la ;) === Guest17231 is now known as PeperJohnny [15:32] merci ;) ++ === azrael is now known as Guest1510 [15:34] today is all about the install i wonder when questions about kde start coming up [15:35] rapidly I'm guessing :) [15:35] supert0nes: been using it for a while. so far other than my ethernet and bluetooth, no issues [15:35] * dr_willis plans on installing jwm+Rox-Filer :) [15:35] sadly for me, I can't upgrade to Intrepid [15:36] i am glad, that 8.04 still uses 3.5.x and is LTS. The current state of KDE is really only for very curios users and mainly to get more developers into it (imho) [15:36] Kubuntu 8.04 is not LTS [15:36] * White_Pelican agrees with dany_21a_ [15:36] right only ubuntu was lts [15:36] seriously? [15:36] hope nothing breaks today! [15:37] stdin: oh... okay - thats true, but than i am at least glad it will still get supported some time [15:37] hmmm [15:37] that's disturbing [15:37] kde4 is here to stay :) [15:37] the upgrade to 8.10 will not be offered automatically, so one has to explicitly *choose* to upgrade [15:37] Woa.. heres an odd thing.. I got a lot of 'scripts' that are just simple commands.. ie: the script "ShowDisks" has one line.. --> df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs [15:37] its executable.. and Now i cant run those scripts.. i get this error.. [15:37] kde4 wil fit on 2G usb? [15:37] malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched [15:37] free: called with unallocated block argument [15:37] do you know how to stop the system check on my net? i remember once i modified a file [15:38] but if i put a #!/bin/sh at the start of the script it does work.. :) now.. odd... [15:38] * dr_willis wonders what a 'system check' is.... [15:38] * supert0nes had to write his own malloc and free for class the other day ugh! [15:38] dr_willis: because /bin/sh is not bash, and it's bash that seems to be borked somehow [15:39] stdin, yea i was about to change sh to bash and see... [15:39] Hmm.. #!/bin/bash makes it work.. #!/bin/sh works.. [15:40] hi everyone [15:40] #!/dash works.. :) it just dont like it if theres NO #!/bin/whatever line. [15:40] iirc, if there is no #! line, bash assumes it's a shell script. maybe not though [15:40] wow unetbootin is good ? [15:40] supert0nes: "sudo apt-get install -s kubuntu-desktop" didn't give me the size? [15:41] metbsd, the 8.10 release has its own similer tool that can generate a live cd with a persistant storage space also. [15:41] wolfie2x: that was my suggestion... guess not. try doing an install and don't confirm then? [15:41] yeah thats a better idea [15:41] faileas: ok will try that [15:41] i want to make usb pen and i can run linux from it [15:41] i don't want to install linux, and then install another linux [15:42] i don't want to install linux, and then install another linux to usb pen [15:42] metbsd: and what OS are you running now? [15:42] windows [15:42] xp [15:43] metbsd, then use unetbootin then.. but it wont have that persistant storage thing.. guess ya could mount the usb pen manually [15:43] >_> [15:43] Congrats everyone for the new release! Anyone know where to find a up-to-date counter like this: http://aplg.kollide.net/kubuntu/counter/ (I'd like to have some 'it's out' -image) [15:43] unetbootin does installs to usb? [15:43] do you know how to stop the system check on my net? i remember once i modified a file [15:44] metbsd: probably you could boot with the livecd and than create the USB stick... dont know actually if that works [15:44] * dr_willis still wonders what a 'system check' is.... [15:44] faileas, it generates a bootable live-cd-on-a-thumbdrive setup :) [15:44] faileas: 120mb download; 460mb on HD.. got 1.6GB available free space.. looks ok to install? [15:45] faileas, not exactly the same as an install to a usb drive [15:45] dr_willis the system checks if it is online, and there is a file to modify to stop this check [15:45] wolfie2x: no [15:45] dr_willis: ahh [15:46] faileas: why not!? [15:46] wolfie2x: er.. u mean ya [15:46] it looks ok [15:46] oops ;p [15:46] too many windows XD [15:47] faileas: this will not interfere with gnome other than for the menus? [15:48] wolfie2x: other than additional software turning up, no [15:48] faileas: thx [15:49] for how long will kubuntu 8.04 be supported? [15:49] !lts [15:49] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [15:49] kubuntu was never a LTS tho I think... [15:49] no [15:49] or at least i seem to recall somthing about that. [15:49] kubuntu 8.04 is not lts [15:49] so it will be supported for one more year [15:50] yea right 8.04 was not.. [15:50] well, the core files should still get updated, just not the DE? [15:50] so when will support for it end? [15:50] isn't kubuntu simply ubuntu with KDE? [15:50] yes [15:50] after a year there will be kde 4.3 [15:50] basically wolfie2x [15:50] wolfie2x: yes [15:50] people seem to get all stressed out about LTS. :) [15:50] wolfie2x: read "8.04 KDE packages are not LTS" [15:50] Nece228: i though 4.2 first? [15:50] it has different default settings and apps [15:50] i dont worry about it. [15:50] i said after 12 moths [15:50] in order to us interpid I need a new video card [15:50] nor do i ;p [15:51] faileas: so u install ubuntu for LTS and then install KDE.. same as installing kubuntu? [15:51] White_Pelican: i'm using intrepid on a 4 year old system [15:51] i get bored after 4 months so not too concerned [15:51] White_Pelican: kubuntu 8.04 will be supported for one more year [15:51] * supert0nes has been on intrepid since alpha 4 [15:51] wolfie2x: "kubuntu-desktop" is a metapackage for KDE + some apps... [15:51] so yeah [15:51] the base is LTS and Gnome is LTS, KDE 3 packages are not LTS [15:51] faileas, my video card is legacy and there are no drivers supporting it in intrepid [15:51] White_Pelican: you can downgrade your xorg and kernel version [15:52] anyone looking lts won't usually install for 3 more months after release anyways [15:52] it's an old geoforce [15:52] White_Pelican: i'm running it on a ~5-6 year old system i think [15:52] some old ATI card [15:52] stdin: i heard that kubuntu 8.10 should be lts [15:52] Nece228: you heard wrong [15:52] :) [15:52] stdin: wikipedia wrote that :/ [15:52] stdin: never trust wikipedia [15:52] there in lies the problem faileas , you have ati, which finally supports linux [15:52] then wikipedia is wrong, shock horror :p [15:53] Nece228: after downgrading those two it's more or less hardy.. only new gnome.. nothing much there either [15:53] claim they support linux. :) [15:53] wolfie2x: well probably [15:53] my flash pen is booting ubuntu, hahahaha [15:54] i shiped ubuntu 8.10 and kubuntu 8.10 cds [15:54] after three ill get original cds [15:54] *three weeks [15:54] wich is the newest nvidia driver? 177? [15:54] yeah [15:55] ah okey [15:55] hmm no wireless in kubuntu! [15:55] Windows 7 was demoed for PDC.. Ubuntu will have a strong challenge if it come on time.. reviews say it's sleek n fast [15:55] omg kubuntu kde4 channel gone [15:56] now there should be #kubuntu-kde3 [15:56] #kubuntu-kde3 [15:56] :) [15:56] how do i connect the wireless? i'm in kde4 [15:56] thatss proberly where i will be from now on! [15:56] :) [15:56] how can i turn the installation cd to fix cd? [15:56] ok guys im off [15:56] cya [15:57] metbsd: knetworkmanager [15:57] faileas: is knetworkmanager totally different from gnome network manager? diff code base? [15:58] i did that, nothing shows [15:58] wolfie2x: they are frontends for networkmanager [15:58] so under the hood no [15:59] is there another textmanager that can be used when youre not in kde? something like nano [15:59] where can i see wich nvidia cards that are compatible with newest nvidia driver and if my card works well in kde [15:59] kde 4 [15:59] PeperJohnny: vi ? emacs ? [16:00] nvidia homepage/ !nvidia factoid have links to what drivers for for what cards.. [16:00] faileas: thanks [16:00] Ive seen quite a few people with issues with the latest 9XXX series video cards.. but i dont know how rare they are. [16:00] hey i can't get wireless to work [16:00] faileas: does every kernel upgrade bring driver incompatibilities like with nVidia case? [16:00] im in kde4 screen [16:01] wolfie2x: depends [16:01] wolfie2x: only if you use the download from nvidia (not the packaged version) [16:01] faileas: but packaged ver has no 3D? what's the point? [16:02] does anyone know a command line program that can take a screenshot but does _not_ import it to a file, but on clipboard [16:02] wolfie2x: it does, it's the same as the download from nvidia. just packaged [16:02] The repo version of the nvidia drivers DO have 3d. [16:02] the 'nv' driver does not have 3d [16:02] the repo versions may not be as up to date however. [16:02] dr_willis: but on intrepid only nv works? [16:03] and they don't work with my card [16:03] dr_willis: that sounds really bad [16:03] nv has worked for ages... [16:03] nv is the open sourced driver.. it has been around for ages.. it does not support 3d accell [16:03] will it somehow be possible to use the recent kernel-packegs in kubuntu 8.04? [16:03] nvidia packages work fine for me on 8.10 [16:04] dr_willis: i c. [16:05] how to check kubuntu version? [16:06] i boot kubuntu from usb pen, no wireless... [16:06] metbsd: lsb_release -a [16:06] 8.04.1 [16:06] good? [16:06] ardchoille: what does the lsb part stand for? I always forget that cmd.. [16:06] Linux Standard Base [16:07] lol [16:07] Linux Sexy Babes. [16:07] :) [16:07] stdin: thx [16:07] so how do i get wireless to work? [16:07] it says proprietary drivers are being used [16:08] dr_willis: that'll be a good way to remember ;) [16:08] the device is Atheros hardware access layer [16:08] support atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards [16:08] they are both enabled [16:08] but nothing in knetworkmanager [16:09] metbsd: That's Hardy, and afaiac, it's a great release :) [16:10] but how to get wireless to work plz?

[17:14] :P [17:14] memeemeee: Leave out the line numbers I inadvertantly pasted. :-) [17:14] can you give me the page that explains how to upgrade from kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 ? i remember one bot of this chan can give this page, i don't remember the trigger [17:15] saso: and?

From the other computer i could reach all files and folders [17:17] sigh it finally came out :-) [17:17] Darthfrog, "option with empty value" [17:17] memeemeee: From what? [17:18] faileas:is there a problem because i've got kubuntu based on wubi [17:18] I have a WPA wireless network how can I get kubuntu to connect to it? [17:18] saso: no. i think the issue seems to be with permissions [17:18] beta-guy: Use knetworkmanager. [17:18] will I be able to use k3b if i upgrade to intrepid ? [17:19] Darthfrog, ifdown and ifup [17:19] enzo: i think so [17:19] faileas:any clue how to do it [17:19] Darthfrog: I thried it it appears to only support WEP [17:19] how can i be sure faileas? [17:19] Darthfrog, what am I putting in my interfaces file? looked like a url??!?!! [17:19] beta-guy: Nope, supports WPA and WPA2. [17:19] faileas: the thing is, I don't know if running update-manager would turn my Kubuntu 8.04.1 into an Ubuntu 8.10, since it's listed as a Gnome app, flagged as a Ubuntu app in adept and is not even installed by default on Kubuntu (at least not on my system) [17:19] memeemeee: Click on the URL. [17:20] saso: not too sure. never set up FTP [17:20] enzo: i could test if i wasn't sitting in the dark ;p [17:21] faileas:thanks any way. i have to go now. bye [17:21] brazilian_joe: i seem to recall between 7,10 and 8.04 i was asked to update graphically [17:22] ok Darthfrog so I already have all that in my /etc/network/interfaces [17:22] hum nothing has shown up on my screen so far, and I have already updated my sources [17:22] that's why I need help Darthfrog. because I still can't get it to ping the router! [17:23] memeemeee: OK, now "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart". See if it works. [17:23] that's what I've been doing [17:24] Destination Host Unreachable :( [17:24] i was on intrepid RC with the kernel linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic now im upgrading to the release version and it upgrading my kernel to linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic [17:24] which is the same int it!? [17:24] memeemeee: do you have any other network devices in your system? [17:25] u mean other computers attatched? [17:25] memeemeee: No. in *your* system. [17:25] someone has testes to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 with adept manager, all is perfectly working ? [17:25] sorry Darthfrog. I'm not sure what you mean [17:25] memeemeee uncomment any settings apart from loopback in your network/interfaces [17:26] then restart network === tct is now known as ermuela [17:26] nothing is commented [17:26] memeemeee: How many things in your computer can you plug a network cable into? Any wireless network cards? [17:26] try -> dhclient eth0 and try -> dhclient eth1 [17:27] ah. nope just the one ethernet port and no other cards. I actually just took out the factory modem because it was causing complications at boot Darthfrog [17:27] memeemeee: Check the network cable. If isn't loose, replace it with a known good cable and try again. [17:28] ah Darthfrog good idea. I do have a cat after all ;) [17:28] is it impossible to get kde 3.5.10 on intrepid? [17:29] Nikke: there seems to be a howto on the forums [17:29] faileas: okey thank you [17:29] u might as well stick with hardy whats the point!? backport [17:30] Darthfrog, should my /etc..interfaces have a network entry? what about broadcast? [17:30] wayneward: true [17:30] * faileas has grown to love KDE4 ;p [17:30] wayneward: yes true but i want to use KDE4 but i got big problems with my nvidia card [17:31] memeemeee: You did all that when you edited the file with the info I gave you in the pastbin URL. That was supposed to be a permanent change, so that things are set up right upon booting. [17:31] i been running it for a few weeks now and have seen some improvements in this time [17:31] * faileas seems to be hearing that a lot [17:31] Darthfrog, there was no info for broadcast or network. I've just seen them in a lot of online helps so wondered if i needed them [17:32] i use a nvidia 6600 and cant have desktop effect on apart from that i have dula monitor working fime with the new version intrepid [17:32] memeemeee: Mind doesn't have either network or broadcast settings, I presume the default works. :-) [17:32] new cable... works fine. "Destination Host Unreachable" Darthfrog [17:33] memeemeee: Have you tried dhcp? Does it work? [17:33] nope. not working either === kdedev is now known as JohnFlux2 [17:33] this all started when I tried to set static ip with Kcontrol [17:33] memeemeee: sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo dhclient eth0 [17:33] wayneward: i got XFX GeForce 6200A === JohnFlux2 is now known as DrJohnFlux [17:34] found it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu :) [17:34] wayneward: dont work so well, very slow [17:34] should be ok with desktop effects off?

[17:34] my network conf copy this http://pastebin.com/f448883f7 [17:34] W8TAH: can't you just click uninstall? [17:35] Nikke, i can remove it from the desktop but i cant seem to remove it from the add widgets list [17:35] whowas nikke [17:35] or uninstall totally [17:35] Darthfrog, "no DHCPOFFERS received" [17:35] administrator: ? [17:36] W8TAH: hmm strange [17:37] i really like plasma -- but getting what i need to work is a bit tedious [17:37] superkaramba themes dont play right sometimes [17:37] and plasmoids dont fulfill the needs [17:37] pardon me, I was trying to explain to someone the language that is usable in IRC and just randomly picked something [17:38] administrator: ah okey =) [17:38] Hello. After I upgraded(?) to v8.10, I can't access wireless nor wired networks. What should I do? I have no idea where to start. [17:38] Just reboot and then hit esc and pick an earlier version [17:38] gustavo: if you can't get wireless or wired how are you talking to us? [17:38] anyone knows how to configure the scroll wheel on a USB mousie? [17:39] beta-guy_: this is another computer [17:39] oh :) [17:39] do you mean to make it scroll the mouse === DrJohnFlux is now known as JohnFlux2 [17:39] What id the difference between this (192.168.6.200:/home /home nfs soft 2 0) from fstab and this (sudo mount 192.168.6.200:/home /home) ? besides the one from fstab being mounted at startup. [17:39] wayneward, yes, when I scroll the wheel up or down while browsing firefox i want the page to scroll up and down, just like it does in windows [17:40] turn on smooth scrolling i do believe [17:40] ah does it scroll up and down in konqueror or a open office doc but not firefox? [17:40] or no scroll at all [17:41] test oe konqueror and try scrolling a web page [17:41] wayneward it doesnt scroll at all but when i click down on the mouse it acts funny, it's as it I typed something in the URL and pressed "enter" [17:42] you basically need this line in your | etc | X11 | xorg.conf -> Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" [17:42] in input device section [17:42] mouse section [17:42] Hi, dunno if this is already known. But http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download points to the wrong directory for alternate CD's. Guess that should be fixed. [17:43] hey folks, is there anything I can do to force ubuntu-amd64 to be a pure amd64 system (not install 32 bit libs etc)? [17:43] Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" [17:44] Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" [17:44] yip [17:44] wayneward, that's what I have in xorg.conf, it still wont work [17:44] Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" [17:45] thats all right - have u tried pulling it out and trying in another usb slot [17:45] is this on intrepid? [17:45] no, this is on ubuntustudio, let me try another USB slot then [17:46] are you running kde on top of ubuntustudio [17:47] somebody please help. i removed all packages with compiz and now all programs that automatically boot will not show up in my taskbar. because of this i can't get to adept manager to reinstall the package that may be causing my problem. another problem is that the frame around my windows does not exitst, therefore i can't move or close them (without going to the file menu). [17:47] wayneward, i tried KDE for a while, right now im using gnome, it does the same thing on both [17:50] I have a ext3 filesystem, I keep erasing files, yet reports 0 bytes free, what is wrong? [17:50] Is samba better than nfs? Should I use samba to mount /home for my students or nfs? [17:51] kronoman, empty the thrash bin [17:51] so Darthfrog. can we look back at the ip tables? [17:51] Mixed432: I'm using rm -rf to erase, not GUI commands [17:51] also erased .Trash already too [17:51] or Darthfrog do you think it might have something to do with the /etc/networks ? [17:52] try opening a termnal and remove something using rm filename [17:52] then do df -h [17:52] Anybody? nfs vs. samba ? [17:52] see if you delete omething [17:52] kronoman, maybe youre deleting on the wrong directory? try "sudo fdisk -l" so you can view your partitions [17:52] kronoman: I've had that before, too. Seems to happen (from time to time) with big deletes. Waiting a while or unmounting (rebooting) has helped for me. === sparda is now known as jNoxx [17:53] depends want any windows boxes to access your shares is so samba is pretty easy to configure [17:53] I tried reboot, unmout, mount again, df -h, nothing, stills 0 bytes free [17:53] maybe the filesystem is corrupt? [17:53] sounds like it unmount it and check it [17:54] going to try that, thanks [17:54] http://www.algeciras.es/party08/ [17:55] hi, how do I disable tooltips on the panel?

[18:13] sba61: I have the Colourful Tabs extension installed.

[18:14] ok Darthfrog. my ip table looks like this http://pastebin.com/d4f1dda35 [18:15] KDesk: If you never need it, delete it from the system. Use Adept to search for it, then delete the installed package. [18:15] Darthfrog: ok, thanks! [18:15] memeemeee: That's your routing table. [18:15] Hey everyone. Quick and easy questions...I'm currently running openSUSE 11.1 beta 3, but I can't stand YaST. Does Kubuntu 8.10 install KDE 4.1.2 by default? If so, will Kubuntu get the KDE matinence release updates? [18:15] right. that's what i meant [18:16] we were talking about it earlier [18:16] memeemeee: Looks fine to me. [18:17] memeemeee: I'm out of ideas, sorry. [18:17] anyone running kubuntu amd64? if so how did you install flash plugin ? I'm trying to figure out the best way, I use Opera browser. [18:17] Other than trying dhclient to see if DHCP works. [18:17] joshual: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [18:18] wow! no one can help me! I even got the network gurus at ##networking to look at it and they can't help! [18:18] Darthfrog: great, not that I need the colorful tabs but it solved my issues :) [18:19] memeemeee: Try this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop && sudo dhclient eth0 [18:19] help [18:19] hi, i need to know if i m using the wireless driver iwl3945 , what is the command to check that out? [18:19] sba61: They'll grow on you. :-) [18:19] winterelf: lsmod | grep iwl3945 [18:20] what error 17 means? [18:20] Darthfrog: thanks [18:20] PeperJohnny: are you running kubuntu amd64? There are different methods for us... 3 different methods [18:20] brb [18:21] hey there, how can I make work ath0 in kubuntu? [18:21] Darthfrog: i got this message..... (sorry about the mass) [18:21] joshual: yes i am and the method i wrote is one very simple [18:21] iwl3945 96244 0 [18:21] lbm_iwl_mac80211 242292 1 iwl3945 [18:21] rfkill 8596 2 iwl3945 [18:21] led_class 6020 1 iwl3945 [18:21] lbm_iwl_cfg80211 33248 2 iwl3945,lbm_iwl_mac80211 [18:21] \ [18:22] what is that mean? i m using it or not? [18:22] winterelf: Use pastebin for output. [18:22] PeperJohnny: I thought that there was a method that only installed the plugin so that you didnt have to install 32bit libraries? [18:22] !paste | winterelf [18:22] winterelf: 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) [18:22] amd I wrong? [18:22] ho, cool [18:23] I meant "am I wrong?" [18:23] winterelf: Yes, it means your kernel is loading that driver. [18:23] joshual: hmm ill look for it but i didnt heard of such a method [18:24] mankeletor: Use jockey-kde to install the drivers for your Atheros card, then use knetworkmanager to set up wireless networking. [18:24] Darthfrog: it means lsmod tells me about all the drivers that are loaded right now? [18:24] PeperJohnny: have you ever tried the free flash plugin alternatives, like gnash and swf-player? [18:25] winterelf: Yes. and use "modprobe" to load new ones and "rmmod" to remove loaded drivers. [18:25] Darthfrog: thx :) [18:25] joshual: though i read that gnash improved a lot [18:25] Hi, How do I add Kubuntu to NTLDR's boot.ini? [18:25] PeperJohnny: no i didnt [18:25] Darthfrog: ok, thanks :) [18:25] GRUB has scewed me over again :'( [18:25] PeperJohnny: does one need to install gnome libs when installing gnash? [18:27] joshual: no. if you install flashplugin-nonfree you just get the plugin no additional libs at least aptitude told me that no libs are neccessary [18:27] PeperJohnny: what about with gnash? [18:27] joshual: gnash needs some libs [18:28] in that case i'll just install flashplugin-nonfree thx [18:29] youre welcome [18:32] PeperJohnny: since I'm installing flashplugin which requires ia32-libs, do I need to specify that any other package i install is 64bit, or is it still the first architecture selected when installing packages? [18:32] joshual: everything will be installed so that it should work [18:34] PeperJohnny: what I mean is, will future packages I install be 64bit if there is a 64bit package available, or will it install 32bit even though there is a 64bit available because i just installed 32bit libraries? [18:34] joshual: no if 64bit is avaible it will be installed [18:35] ah great thanks PeperJohnny, as you can tell i'm new to 64bit OS [18:35] hi, need to know something... what's ipwraw ? [18:35] youre welcome [18:38] winterelf: afaik its a driver for wlan cards [18:39] PeperJohnny: afaik? u mean ipwraw? why did u called it afaik?

[19:23] well, maybe I should try in linux, maybe it can burn at lower speed.... [19:23] I'll be back! (probably) [19:23] Yeah but they are mostly music, and my music is in seperate folders so i'd have to open them sperately [19:24] Blasted Ubuntu update screwing with my X config! aticonfig is damn usefull :D [19:24] any idea how to have group conversations on kopete [19:24] psyco: you would need to check the torrents and then carry on [19:24] psyco: i've even moved torrents from box to box that way [19:25] faileas: check the torrents and carry on? [19:26] WHat about the /home/.azureus/downloads.config is that the file that I shoudl back up? [19:26] psyco: yeah. IIRC if you point a torrent at a folder with the files already in it it rechecks and carries on [19:26] psyco: no 1 priority should be torrents + data. anything else is secondary [19:27] is there a solution for the error "not starting K display manager;it is not the default" [19:27] faileas: I've already backed up all my stuff, now is just making my life easier by moving one file instead of rechecking all the torrents [19:27] ?

[19:36] Guys, Anyone using KDE4, are desktop effects decent or is compiz still WAY WAY better [19:37] This is the traceback when it crashes: http://pastebin.com/d7189c0e7 [19:37] JenZ: But the best thing you can do to analyze xserver failure is to simply try to start X from tty1 and when it failes read file /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:37] hi [19:37] psyco: i thnk compiz is any time better [19:38] can someone help me? [19:38] I know its better but I want to know how much, [19:38] O-Range: Just put down your question, someone might pick it up :) [19:38] like any major flaws in kde4 effects?

Especially the Desktop plasmoid. When I move my mouse over it, the desktop freezes for about five seconds. I can't work like that. Is there a way out of that? [19:42] i understand chris, but everytime i kill the process it restarts itself [19:42] with another pid [19:42] JenZ: ok [19:42] and sends me back to the 'video not supported' tty [19:43] and i can only go back to tty1 [19:43] viewing that Xorg.0.log you told me [19:43] JenZ: in tty1 do /etc/init.d/kdm stop [19:44] prepend with sudo off course :) [19:44] nobody get the problem like me? [19:44] stopping KDM: kdm not runningkill: 187: operation not permitted [19:44] oops :p [19:44] sudo again [19:44] ok, stopped [19:45] now?

Especially the Desktop plasmoid. When I move my mouse over it, the desktop freezes for about five seconds. I can't work like that. Is there a way out of that? [19:47] oh no, i thought i installed 8.04 over here [19:47] but that was on my other system [19:48] JenZ: Did you check already if X is still running (ps aux) [19:48] not running [19:49] would xubuntu be a sollution? or does it use the same ubuntu-base which will give me troubles too? [19:49] stupid gfx-card :-( (radeon 9600tx) [19:51] JenZ: Now X is not running anymore (because of kdt stop), you could try running X from the commandline and it will give feedback if it fails [19:51] NauarchLysander: WHat is your vid card [19:51] anyone know how to open a .sqlite file? [19:51] NauarchLysander: Ususally, a OS is never that slow because of specs. Try fooling around with drivers if you have nothing to lose. [19:53] psyco: Nvidia GeForce 8600M. I installed the newest restricted driver. [19:53] joshual: sqlite3 [19:53] NauarchLysander: Hmm then I dotn knwo. [19:54] psyco: Ok, still, thanks. [19:56] snowmoon-work: install sysv-rc-conf & make sure your bluetooth services are enabled? [19:56] woops [19:56] Chris, i'm not asleep but just trying another gfx-card [19:56] if i remove the NetworkManager.conf & knetworkmanager.conf files from /etc/dbus-1/system.d my issue goes away but then knetworkmanager doesn't start on boot up and i can't connect to any wireless networks! [19:57] anyone tried the qt-firefox? [19:57] hi [19:57] hmmm, chris, do i need to do anything special?

[20:01] ardchoille: yeah its very much in development stage though [20:01] alpha/beta only [20:01] yeah [20:01] Well, it's nice that someone is working on it [20:01] yeah [20:02] Good to hear [20:02] so is there any way to specify a package when entering a repository ? [20:04] joshual: you can always enable that one repo, install what you want, then disable it again.. or disable it when you do updates [20:04] ardchoille: ok, thats what I was thinking too. [20:04] joshual: something like described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#With%20individual%20packages [20:04] maybe? [20:05] doesn't solve dependencies though [20:05] sba61: He'd run into deps issues that way I would think [20:05] yeah [20:05] JenZ: Heh, seems your system is pretty borked, which seems strange so soon after an install. Did you do check the md5sum of the install cd? [20:06] if i dont have a keyboard, how do ik access the start-menu? === Tizz_ is now known as Tizz [20:06] I still didn't figure out how to search for packages with the new adept... is there a way to do it?

[20:12] yea [20:12] still no luck [20:12] read only is set? [20:12] nope [20:12] have you tried deleting them from command line? [20:12] yep [20:13] dir is not empty.. [20:13] wont delete [20:13] tried indiv. deleting also [20:13] when inside the folder, it doesnt give the option for moving to trash [20:14] smarty: to remove a dir on the command line is rm -r /path [20:14] JenZ: yeh, see you later maybe. Good luck with setting up your nas :) [20:17] ok favro, i'll try that ... sec [20:18] how many MB's is the dist-upgrade ?

(if i wasnt root) [20:19] smarty: what does ls -l return for the dir? [20:20] ah okay i got it now [20:20] THANKS guys [20:20] what was the issue? [20:20] i actually just rebooted the X server, [20:20] odd but yea [20:20] k [20:20] smarty: Perhaps some process has an open file in that directory. lsof | grep Documents could show you what process [20:20] thanks though [20:21] ah wait. Killing X probably killed that process :p === mike is now known as Maxo [20:21] :) [20:22] thanks very much though. :D === Maxo is now known as morgan === morgan is now known as heriate === Nece228 is now known as dontlookatmynick [20:23] what? === dontlookatmynick is now known as Nece228 [20:25] how is it easy to pass from ubuntu to kubuntu ? Is it a completely different OS and you need to format and install the OS ? [20:25] sYskk: it's same [20:25] sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [20:25] Kubuntu is Ubuntu [20:25] kubuntu-desktop [20:26] ah yeas, soz [20:26] oh ok... so kubuntu is ubuntu + kde ? [20:26] sYskk: yes [20:26] yuriy: but without gnome [20:26] yes, and with a fresh kubuntu install its without gnome [20:27] installing kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu does not uninstall gnome, right? [20:28] how to grow up a partition? only *temporary* [20:28] ChrisMir: if you do not uninstall it manually... [20:28] ChrisMir: no [20:29] are the archive.ubuntu.com servs down for maintenance? [20:29] noaXess: they're slow due to release day [20:29] okay.. [20:29] are GUI applications in ubuntu specifically written for kde or gnome or is it pretty much portable ? [20:30] sYskk: they're pretty much portable [20:30] noaXess: 8.10 is out. everybody is downloading [20:30] kde apps run nicely in gnome and vice-versa [20:30] riso: I'm not [20:30] ok thx :) [20:30] riso: me too.. just wait for kde 4.2 in january.. it will be more stable, mor functionaly and more usfull.. like kde3.5 [20:31] noaXess: kde 4.0 is pretty unstable now :) === riso is now known as turtlak69 [20:31] riso: interpid doesn't have kde 4.0 [20:31] KDE is just fine for some people [20:32] Kubuntu has 4.1.2 (soon 4.1.3) not 4.0 [20:32] interpid has 4.1 [20:32] Tm_T: too buggy (but I am using it) [20:32] turtlak69: not here [20:33] well, i trashed my kubuntu install somehow in the upgrade process. i am now doing a fresh install of intrepid, but it is hanging at %82 'scanning mirrors'. does this just have to do with busy servers? [20:33] Tm_T: I will see after next upgrade :) [20:33] jmichaelx: likely [20:33] 4.1.2 is rock solid here for me, and what missing bits there are are available via kde 3.5.10 for intrepid (like konversation, k3b, etc) [20:33] turtlak69: though I have KDE 4.1.71 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081023) [20:33] ok, makes me feel better. i have NEVER had these kinds of issues upgrading before. [20:34] rgreening: the prob is some system settings, like key bindings, shortcuts and so on.. [20:34] Tm_T: I am going to try something new but there is no time for that... [20:34] jmichaelx: release day is huge and you can expect things to be slow [20:34] jmichaelx: I just downloaded a 10 mb icon theme and it took almost 20 minutes [20:34] turtlak69: I don't have time other than this but... meh [20:34] noaXess: open bug reports for the missing bits, I'm sure someone will help write them in (like me) [20:34] ardchoille: no, the issues i am referring to have to do with how wrong things went when i tried to upgrade... i don't really care about busy serves [20:35] ah, ok [20:35] Tm_T: if zou have to, just do it :D or something like that. I do not know how to say it english :D [20:35] salve [20:35] ardchoille: my system was completely unsalvageable after the upgrade. [20:35] Thats why I installed the rc release last week. hardly any difference and brought on par with updates [20:35] (at least for me) [20:36] jmichaelx: I've never been able to do an upgrade successfully [20:36] But, then again, a fresh install cleans things out anyway [20:37] ardchoille: yeah, i guess i is no big tragedy. i had /home on its own partition. === alfiu is now known as alfiu1 [20:37] jmichaelx: that saved you some headaches I bet [20:37] ardchoille: it is time to change it :) [20:37] so 8.10 has been out half a day nothing blew up.... [20:38] I think I'm going to stick with Hardy until January, Hardy has treated me well, the devs did an excellent job there [20:38] While I have a partition for all user data, I have two partitions for the OS. With every update I use the other partition for a fresh install. I have had bad experience with updates too :) [20:38] ard [20:39] oops [20:39] ChrisMir: Nice way to do installs :) [20:39] ardchoille: hardy was the best linu distro for me in a long time [20:39] I have installed 8.10 kubuntu, when logging in for the first time, I get the KDE splash screen, an image of a hard drive becomes clear then at this point it freezes. It is immediatley after clicking enter on my password, any suggestions? [20:39] For me, before Hardy, it was Dapper that was the best [20:40] I cannot logon at least in gui mode, I can get to console [20:40] but, i have intrepid on this laptop.... and even though i really resented having to switch to KDE4, i am really liking it [20:40] dan_: you might try "startx" in console to see if there is any useable error output [20:40] ok, ill try that now [20:41] kde4 in intrepid is MUCH better than it was in hardy [20:41] ^That was the point '-) [20:41] *;-) [20:41] yay [20:41] jmichaelx: yep. This is the first release I'm giving a serious shot. Previously I fell back to 3.5 [20:42] JontheEchidna: nice work :P [20:42] vorian: you too :P [20:43] ardchoille: I did the startx and it fired up the login screen with the freeze after the image of the hdd [20:43] dan_: ok, is there any usable info in the console? [20:44] no just the frozen screen [20:44] kde 4.1 and the splash screen [20:44] no, in the console where you typed "startx" [20:44] ctrl+alt+f1 ? [20:44] it displayed some text but was too quick [20:44] ok, it was a shot [20:45] when you get back to the console try: cat .xsession-errors [20:45] no reply from ctrl alt f1 but the mouse cursor still moves [20:45] perhaps there is some info [20:45] not sure about how to help. there are days I use tty1 with screen and other apps and don't even use x [20:46] ChrisMir: i'll try that now [20:46] Has anyone been able to get desktop effects to work with the non-FOSS nvidia driver? [20:46] less .xsession-errors [20:47] might be ore usefull === engel is now known as Guest54986 [20:48] Hi, i just installed 8.10. In my system tray there is a black square behind all of the icons exept the ones that was there from the start. Any advice what to do to get rid of it? Or is it a known bug? [20:49] ok, lots of output, .ooo-template.desktop is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semi colan [20:49] lots of the not compliant [20:49] comms problem with kded it probably crashed [20:50] stabbe: yes, will be resolved in KDE 4.2 [20:50] what is the meta package for ubuntu if i want to remove whole ubuntu, i did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? [20:50] JontheEchidna: Okey thanx for the quick answer :) [20:50] Nikke: removing ubuntu-desktop then apt-get autoremove should do it [20:50] hi evrybody! [20:51] JontheEchidna: it only removed libscollkeeper0 [20:51] hmm [20:52] when i try and login failsafe, i get "Xsession: unable to launch failsafe X session --x terminal-emulator not found [20:54] JontheEchidna: hmm :P [20:54] Oops [20:54] yeah, I don't know how much you can do besides removing it manually [20:54] !purekde [20:54] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [20:54] I have done a reinstall and same problem occurs [20:55] live seesion runs fine and I had 8.04 on this PC before === galathalion is now known as Larynx [20:55] dan_: can you log in normally? [20:56] no [20:56] just console [20:56] hrm, gnome and kde aren't playing nice anymore. They seem to both be trying to run. gnome's desktop appears when I log out and gnome's network manager starts on login.

I then upgraded to kde 4.1 by way of the ppa (since removed from my package sources) [20:57] done, what now a startx ? [20:57] hi there! [20:58] does anybody know why "webdavs://mediacenter.gmx.net/" does not work in Konqueror? [20:58] I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 (latest updates) [20:58] JontheEchidna: startkde do I type nopw? [20:58] now [20:59] dan_: I think you should be able to log in from the login screen now [20:59] or at least, I hope you can [21:00] JontheEchidna: what is the key sequence to get back to gui, ctrl alt ? [21:00] crtl alt f7 [21:00] is it just me or are the panel threat tray icons very bad? it looks like shit to me with different background and such [21:00] you might want to restart X with alt-e after you get back to the login screen [21:01] By the way, the Xubuntu digg story has 6 more diggs than the Kubuntu story, so digg it: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Kubuntu_8_10_Released_refreshes_the_desktop [21:01] Nikke: nvidia?

It starts to log me in then I get the kde splash screen again and it still freezes after the image of the hdd becomes clear [21:04] interesting [21:04] When trying to enable Desktop Effects I have the error: "Required X Extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available." This is with the new non-FOSS driver from nvidia. I added a line to xorg.conf for the card -- Option "RenderAccel" "True" but to no avail. Has anyone gotten this working?

[21:27] a i see nice to now [21:27] jussi01: ^ forgot your name [21:27] olskolirc: yes it can, just right click the desktop, - desktopsettings - desktop theme [21:28] i have kubuntu on hardy heron - how do i get kde4? === iv_ is now known as iv [21:29] olskolirc: you can upgrade... [21:29] well....no one? [21:29] ardchoille: JontheEchidna regarding my login issue, even running live I get the same error and now there is talk of cd errors I think I mya have the same as I download via http IE broswer while at work [21:29] how jussi01 ? === Undefined_ is now known as deriox [21:30] dan_: possibly, web browsers aren't good for long downloads, I recommend trying again with wget [21:31] the download servers are prity fast i download at 1,41M/s [21:31] join #kde-imaging [21:31] yes, I'll download again tomorrow, I have no media here to burn to. I'll report back either way, thanks for the help [21:32] !nvidia [21:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:33] jussi01: reconfigure of xserver did not work. Xserver core dumps after that. [21:37] I'm wondering if a lot of these xserver problems are due to corrupt downloads [21:39] can a dd made image be used, somehow, in virtualbox? [21:41] hi [21:42] wanna install kubuntu latest but I have no cd burner but I have download the iso [21:42] any way to isntall it? [21:43] do you have a friend that have it? [21:43] a cd burner? [21:44] nirn [21:44] hi [21:44] * nirnroot there are tutorials on how to do this if you already have grub installed [21:44] yes I have [21:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [21:45] I don't have usb stick [21:45] then burn the cd in his pc [21:46] i have no burner [21:46] or use https://shipit.kubuntu.org/ and patiently wait :) [21:46] Hey [21:47] Got bit of a problem here [21:47] i know [21:47] burn the cd in your friend pc [21:47] quite new to kubuntu, was going to install vlc and i accidentaly edited some code [21:48] now adept manager won't work as it is supposed to :p [21:48] kvark: what did you edit? [21:48] /etc/apt/sources.list [21:48] ah [21:48] added a line [21:49] my ibex konqueror is painfully slow, must have happened in the last month or so, is that a common problem? [21:49] has anyone been able to disable the box switch with alt-tab? [21:49] Exilant: what do you mean by slow? [21:50] kvark: what was the line you added? [21:50] needs like 50 seconds to load launchpad [21:51] Exilant: that could just be launchpad, it is release day. does it happen on other sites? [21:51] so I've updated to Ibex... everything works much better than the 4.1 packages I installed before. That's awesome:) [21:51] ardchoille: % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-artsapt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-arts [21:51] Caarrie: System settings > Desktop > desktop effects > all effects > window management [21:52] I have an ATI 1600, tho, and the compiz effects are disabled. Is there a way to fix that? [21:52] kvark: ok, there are errors with that comand so it isn't going to work [21:52] Arby: i have it _not_ checked yet i still have it [21:52] kvark: I was trying to help you get your sources fixed, you said you added a line [21:53] Caarrie: that's a bit odd [21:53] arby: yes, took just 23 seconds to load kernel.org [21:53] that is why i came here for help [21:53] Just need it to be as it was :P [21:53] kvark: then you need to remove the line you added :)( [21:54] It won't let me [21:54] then how? [21:54] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [21:54] kvark: But be careful as editing it like that is with rot privs [21:54] *root [21:55] Thanks! [21:55] yw :) [21:56] I still think that all new releases should backup critical files during the inital install. Things like sources.list, menu.lst, sudoers, etc [21:56] Caarrie: if you disable all the alt-tab effects does it go back to the old kde3 style alt-tab display? [21:57] i tried that already :( [21:57] and i know it worked before as i had kde4 installed [21:57] Arby: I woldn't think so as there is no kde3 to fall back on [21:57] i had no kde3 before installed and it worked as before [21:58] ardchoille: I just meant it _looks like_ kde3 [21:58] ah, ok [21:58] Caarrie: was this a clean install or an upgrade? [21:58] i had a clean install of the kde4 remix before with the "normal" alt-tab [21:58] upgrade [21:58] from kde4 [21:58] anyone have any clue on how to get compositing working with a ATI x1600? [21:59] !ati | enjo13 [21:59] enjo13: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:02] I have the FGLRX driver (the binary one referred to in that article)... but the settings manager is quite convinced that my system can't support compositing [22:02] the card, as far as I can tell, SHOULD work [22:03] enjo13: which card? [22:03] um... [22:04] at x1600 mobility [22:04] ati [22:04] am I the only one having problems with Jockey while trying to install nvidia drivers? [22:04] good evening [22:05] ok, that wasn't quite right. I just had to ln -s libnss3.so.1d libnss3.so to get flash working again... [22:05] can kubuntu 8.10 read a windows partition on an usb hdd? [22:05] how do I get changelogs for each package? [22:06] im running the new kubuntu in virtualbox and its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow...it takes roughly 10 seconds for each screen refresh. anything i can do? [22:06] Is there a way to install Nvidia Display Driver of kubuntu repo on 8.10, omitting the Jockey? [22:06] doesnt it use 3d effects be default? if so how can i disable them? [22:06] Wicked: system settings, desktop. You can turn off 3d effects there [22:07] thanks Dashkal! =) [22:07] lol... I'll trade you problems Wicked:) [22:07] lol whats yours? [22:07] maby we can haggle ;-) [22:07] ubuntu-dron: Which nvidia ? [22:07] the exact opposite, I can't get the cool effects to work [22:07] 7600M [22:08] :-o [22:08] you two need to switch boxes :P [22:08] I bet its a problem of Jockey, but not hardware... [22:08] hmm turns out my effects are off.... [22:08] so i wonder what is causing this issue then [22:08] ubuntu-dron: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [22:09] thanx a lot [22:11] ubuntu-dron: np, however thanks to new xorg u must carefuly read the install output. ;) === zoombahoof is now known as yeltsinator [22:12] what's so peculiar about that? [22:12] is there at least a way to determine why I get the "compositing is not supported" message in settings->desktop->Desktop Effects? [22:13] hi [22:13] enjo13: maybe you have not DRI enabled or a wrong driver.. [22:13] Is it possible (like in Hardy I think) to auto erase the history of Speedcrunch automatically every time it starts? Or that it doesn't save the history? [22:13] how can i generate a xorg config file with an intel 945 video card? [22:14] can anyone point me to a url of kubuntu 8.10's default wallpaper? [22:14] ubuntu-dron: well, it's new xorg which still has problems with non-free ati and nvidia drivers. I'm not saying that it will go wrong, just that it might, so be careful. Anything that doesn't seem to look right probably isn't ;) [22:14] is kde4 on the ubuntu 8.10 dvd ? [22:15] glxinfo reports : direct rendering: Yes [22:15] fglrxinfo reports that openGL is ATI [22:15] djouallah: kde4 is the default in Ubuntu and Kubuntu Intrepid downloads [22:16] Can I install KDE4 from a ubuntu 8.10 install where dual screens work? [22:16] Freddy2: the xorg in intrepid should work as it is.. [22:17] Freddy2: But you can 'generate' one with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:17] Githzerai: everything seems right... wish me luck [22:17] ok, thx [22:17] donavan: it should be ok - I would make a backup of xorg.conf just in case it gets overwritten [22:17] Just upgraded over the internet to 8.10 from 8.04, and the xserver won't start!! No screen found. Any ideas? [22:17] ardchoille, what i want to know before downloading ubuntu 8.10 dvd, is kde4 is on it ? [22:18] djouallah: kde4 is default kde [22:18] djouallah: yes [22:18] LinuxApe: what video card are you using? [22:18] djouallah: its the only kde [22:18] Dashkal: ATI mobile radeon 9600 [22:18] in intrepid there's only kde4?? [22:18] Freddy2: yes [22:18] yes [22:18] Freddy2: that is correct. [22:18] djouallah: DVD is regular kubuntu cd with extra packages. [22:19] Dashkal: I have been using the fglrx driver in 8.04 with no problems, the upgrade broke something. [22:19] hmm i got an ati radeon 9800 here, maybe i will try that one on kde 4 =) [22:20] djouallah: I wouldn't recommend downloading the dvd unless you're on a slow connection and can't access the repos well enough, but that would mean the dvd will take longer to download too [22:20] Everything that is on the dvd is also in the repos [22:20] favro: the xorg is plain as possible on the gnome install [22:20] KDE4 is likely the issue :| [22:21] LinuxApe: I'm an nvidia user so I don't have any expertise there, unfortunately. I'd direct you at the wiki page I saw for troubleshooting issues but I lost the link [22:21] donavan: well my view on the new way X works is full of expletives... [22:21] :) [22:21] is there an easy way to turn off and on kde composite (wine doesnt like it) [22:21] hehe [22:22] joshual: Yes, with Alt+Shift+F12 I think [22:22] thx KDesk [22:23] KDesk: yup thats the one :) [22:23] :) [22:26] hi guys, by pressing "shift" a pop up window comes out with something and my pc speaker makes a weird noise, how do i avoid that? thx [22:27] zer0o: does it only happen when you hold down the shift key for a bit? [22:27] zer0o: There should be a message you have to read it and chose the option that prevents it to happen again, I think you have to say yes or no. [22:30] oh yes [22:30] thanks [22:30] I can't seem to find a keyboard control module for things like default state of the numlock key and cursor blink, etc. My "keyboard" section in system settings only has mouse and keyboard shortcuts. Am I missing sometihng? [22:30] accessibility keys [22:31] hmm another reason for not upgrading from hardy :) [22:32] anyone else here have serious problems with ATI cards in 8.10? [22:34] I just upgraded to Intrepid and now Knetworkmanager doesn't see all of the available wifi-networks - Running "iwlist wlan0 scan" I find 4 wlans, but Knetworkmanager only finds 1 [22:35] Oddly enough, the one that Knetworkmanager claims to find is not among the 4 that iwlist can see - anyone had the same problem? [22:36] hi, can someone help me.. ihave questions to partition for kubuntu [22:36] i want three partition swap boot and root [22:37] ubuntu_: Better boot swap and root. [22:37] yes i know [22:37] ubuntu_: what is your question? [22:37] but the wuestion is shoud i install partitions as primäry partitions === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir === Timmy is now known as TimS [22:38] ubuntu_: it is the same, I hve only boot as primary but I dont know why I have so. [22:38] I've always done well with swap being on a secondary === paolo_ is now known as faLUCE [22:39] ubuntu_: Maybe with old bios you should use a boot in a primary, [22:39] and that's the way the installer does it too [22:39] ubuntu_: boot should be primary, the others can be whatever - but you can have 4 primary partitions so this isn't an issue for you anyway [22:39] iirc, you can only have two primary partitions, but that was long ago [22:39] okay i know so === john is now known as Guest63709 [22:40] ardchoille: you can have 4 primary partitions. I _think_ windows/dos only supported 3 at one point, but I don't think that is the case nowadays [22:41] ok [22:41] yeah, that was when Fedora Core 1 was released [22:41] so i make sda1 as boot. swap andd root as sda5 and sda6 [22:41] windows is a problem... it needs to be in a primary partiyion the partition has to be happy, etc.etc. [22:41] Three primary partitions and one extended partition. [22:42] ubuntu_: Just make sure /boot is a primary partition, sda1 is fine. The others don't matter, your suggestion is fine, but you could also have sda1, sda2 and sda3 if you made them all primary [22:42] Put /boot on the first primary partition. The rest can go anywhere else you want. [22:43] yes, but if j want to install another system i also net a primary [22:43] weedar: Windows/DOS supports 4 primaries. *nix used to allow 7 or more. [22:43] You don't need a swap partition anymore. Linux does fine with a swap file. And with the price of RAM these days, if you ever use the swap file, just add more RAM. [22:44] but swap partition is faster than a file or? [22:44] Boot on first partiton doesn't matter with current equipment/versions. [22:44] ubuntu_: Yes, simpler, one less layer. [22:44] jhutchins_wk: really? I was so sure I couldn't make more than 4 primary partitions with fdisk years ago. [22:44] ubuntu_: Only if the swap partition is on a separate hard drive from the / partition. [22:44] weedar: I think they made it compatible with Windows. [22:44] Witch is a good kde/qt partitioner for kde/kubuntu? [22:45] where can i put startup scripts for programs/commands in kde4? [22:45] KDesk: Gparted. [22:45] i nothing the ~/.kde/Autostart folder no longer exists... [22:45] noticed* [22:45] KDesk: You can use qtparted but gparted is better. [22:45] Darthfrog: So if I delete my swap partition will the system use a swap file automatcly in /root? [22:45] KDesk: Nope. [22:46] jhutchins_wk: hm, but I have a vague memory of windows-fdisk not letting me create 4, after the third the fourth automatically became an extended one.. Did you have to use another tool in *nix to create >4 partitions? [22:46] Darthfrog: Do I have to do It manualy? [22:46] KDesk: Yep. [22:46] Darthfrog: Gparted is to gtkish... And the LiveCD installed compared to gparted? [22:47] hello [22:47] weedar: iirc if you try to create a fourth partition, windows makes the fourth partion the extended container and creates an extended partition in it. You can theoretically have four primaries, but you can't have four primary data partions plus extended partitons. THe "container" for the extendeds takes up the fourth primary. [22:47] KDesk: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ [22:47] Darthfrog: So I will never mada a swap partition again! :) Does the swap file grow automatcly? [22:48] did anyone experience kdm freeze after an upgrade to intrepid? [22:48] Darthfrog: thanks! [22:48] jhutchins_wk: then we agree on the windows part =) [22:48] a swap partition is good if the computer make a braeak und go sleeping because i want to use truecrypt [22:48] weedar: With gnu fdisk you can create four primary data partitions. [22:48] Ovi: I dont [22:48] Actually, older ms fdisk would do that too. [22:48] hi... i have two issues in intrepid: 1) i run skype and it stays frozen, doing i don't know what 2) i have to manually rerun setxkbmap in order to get my us-intl layout working (using uim at the same time) [22:48] jhutchins_wk: then we agree on that too. But when/where could you then create 7 primary partitions in *nix? [22:49] well, when i boot my system the keyboard and mouse are not working in kdm [22:49] i tracked the problem to kdm starting before hal [22:49] weedar: I've never tracked that down, but the limit was something in DOS, and I don't think that Linux actually has a limit in the number of primaries it can see. (I may be wrong about that.) [22:49] I've been at this a pretty long time, things have changed. [22:50] vivia: Have you considered using ekiga instead of skype? [22:50] Ovi: maybe it has also something to do with the way input devices are handelt in intrepid (xorg 7.4) [22:50] * jhutchins_wk is on a new crusade to get rid of skype report questions in Open Source forums. [22:50] jhutchins_wk: I would if I could move all my contacts to ekiga too :) [22:50] KDesk: i know, the input devices are managed by hal now [22:51] KDesk: but my startup scripts in rc2.d where S20kdm and S24hal [22:51] thankl at all who helped me [22:51] jhutchins_wk: yeah I understand you, but unfortunately many people only have an account on skype and I cannot contact them [22:51] so i moved S20kdm to S25kdm and it works fine now [22:52] vivia: Because skype uses evil, closed protocols. Anyway. If skype is hanging, possibly it's a skype support question? [22:52] can anyone with Intrepid tell me how their start scripts for kdm and hal are configured? [22:52] vivia: Not being unhelpful, but they don't exactly share support info. [22:52] Ovi: hmm, in my system is S24hal and S30kdm in rc2.d [22:52] jhutchins_wk: It worked until a while ago when I installed uim-qt and reinstalled uim... [22:52] KDesk: hmm this is really weird [22:53] vivia: Possibly reinstall skype? So it can accomodate the new versions? [22:53] jhutchins_wk: And believe me, I am a developer of amsn so I know what it means to have to deal with closed protocols :( [22:53] jhutchins_wk: did that already [22:53] KDesk: so it's only a problem on my side, not the default [22:53] Ovi: why is now the default runlevel 2? [22:53] KDesk: Cuz that's the Debian way. [22:53] Ovi: I have made a fresh install from liveCD. Tou? [22:54] KDesk: I upgraded from 8.04 [22:54] oooh, that runlevel-thing is annoying me to no end - why on Earth did they have to change that [22:54] Darthfrog: ah, I didn't know that. Was in hardy also 2 the default? [22:54] jhutchins_wk: I also installed those recent kernel upgrades but haven't rebooted yet, but this shouldn't be relevant right? [22:54] KDesk: It always was. [22:54] i wasted like 3 hours before finding this problem [22:54] Darthfrog: lol [22:55] really anoying [22:55] When booting the kubunt 8.10 live cd it hangs with the message "* Checking battery state... [ok]" [22:55] weedar: They didn't. Runlevel 2 is the default in all Debian-based distros. [22:55] anything i can do to get further? [22:55] Ovi: that is strange, isnt there in launchpad a open bug? [22:55] In Redhat-based distros, runlevel 5 is the default for a graphical login. === Alan_M is now known as Robb_M [22:56] KDesk: there is, i submited this info === Robb_M is now known as Alan_M === ubuntu__ is now known as mado-livecd [22:56] Hello! It was anounced that kubuntu8.10 will have guest account by default and knetworkmanager settings will be applied systemwise without loading xserver. [22:56] Where is all this feaututres? [22:56] *where are [22:57] alexei: I thing guest session is only in ubunut, and networkmanager should work === Alan_M is now known as speeddemon8803 [22:57] For me netwrokmanager start to connect to wireless only after kde login. [22:58] hi guys and gals ... can you guys help me with kubuntu 8.10? ... i know it just came out ... but i have some questions ... 1) as you can see when you look at my name i'm here with live-cd ... thing is ... i think i saw an error-message during the boot-process ... can you help me so that i can read it? [22:58] as far as i heard those are "saved" somewhere [22:58] Darthfrog: bad choice of words by me. I mean, since my first experience with Linux runlevels meant something (still does for RHEL) and I like it. Don't see why Debian should be different :) [22:59] mado-livecd: Press CTL-ALT-F1 (ALT-F7 to get back). See if the report is on that console. If not, login there and type "dmesg | less". [22:59] Knoppix was some years ago defaul in runlevel 5 I think, so debian should be in 5 also. [23:00] weedar: You might ask RedHat why they don't do it the way that Debian does. Debian is the heart & soul of Linux. [23:00] weedar: it depends on the falvor: rulevel 4 on slackware for example. just someting you hav eto live with [23:00] adn i cannor write at the moment, so it seems :) [23:01] whats the difference on run levels anways? [23:01] !runlevel [23:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [23:01] thanks Darthfrog ... is it possible to look for something special too with this "demesg"-thing? [23:01] Darthfrog: I love Debian (or I wouldn't use Ubuntu) but I think usage of runlevels like RHEL/Slackware/others do it existed before Debian, though I might be mistaken [23:02] because there are "countless" lines :( [23:02] :) [23:02] jhutchins_wk: rebooted, nothing happened... [23:02] acemo: A runlevel is a specific set of services and commands launched when the system boots. Different runlevels are used for different purposes. eg. runlevel 0 is reboot, runlevel 1 is single user maintenance mode, runlevel 2 is default graphical login, runlevel 6 is halt. [23:02] runlevels are very important. it just the number which keeps changing. [23:03] Mr-S: That I did not know, thanks for informing me :) And still, that is an improvement, because I assume that would mean you could change runlevels to "activate/deactivate" X [23:03] You can switch runlevels on the fly with the telinit command. [23:03] cool [23:04] Darthfrog: But that doesn't really do anything on Debian, does it? Since default runlevel is 2 I would assume the only difference would be between runlevel 1/2 and runlevel to reboot [23:04] this is right. runlevel defines this. single user, multi user, gui login. it seems unnacessary at first, but it does have its advantage [23:04] jhutchins_wk: but removing uim-qt (keeping uim-qt3) did the trick [23:04] heh, I can't install kde4 from a ubuntu 8.10 install, whines about drivers, I presume it is the ATI drivers [23:05] Darthfrog: next thing is ... it was funny ... the first time i started the live-cd i got nothing but a black and empty screen ... [23:05] All our servers at work are Centos (for now..) and though I prefer Debian I do like how CentOS handles services, "service --status-all" is a nifty tool. Does Debian have something similar? [23:05] weedar: I'm not sure what you mean. Of course it does something on Debian. Telinit will switch from the current runlevel into the new one. [23:05] after doing the "ctrl+alt+F1"-thing the system started but i still can't see the message i am looking for [23:05] weedar: Ubuntu has the service command. Use "apt-cache search service". [23:06] Darthfrog: Neat! Thanks === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir [23:06] Darthfrog: let me clarify. If Debian uses runlevel 2 for both multi-user mode AND for graphical login, changing between runlevel 2-5 probably won't do much since every service is started/stopped in runlevel 2 [23:06] mado-livecd: What did you see with dmesg? [23:07] When booting the kubunt 8.10 live cd it hangs with the message "* Checking battery state... [ok]", what should be the next thing its trying to do? [23:07] weedar: I don't know, I've not played around with them. :-) [23:07] acdemo: have you plugged in the normal power source of your laptop ? [23:07] Mr-S: its a desktop computer. [23:07] many many lines ... but i can't see the message i'm looking for ... is there a way to search for a specific word so that i can find it easier? [23:07] in this case it is wired [23:08] weedar: Tell you what. Edit your /etc/inittab file and set initdefault to 0. :-) [23:08] a desktop should not call on batery state at all [23:08] for example Darthfrog ... is there a way to copy the "demesg | less"-thing into kate? [23:08] Mr-S: it didn't do that on 8.04 =) [23:08] mado-livecd: dmesg > report.txt [23:08] thank you Darthfrog :) [23:08] normally this error messages are created by hardware issues.... [23:09] Then read the report.txt file. But dmesg | less is all you need. [23:09] mado-livecd: use grep. Like "dmesg | grep word" [23:09] weedar: Don't do that, BTW. :-) [23:09] i can boot the live cd on my dektop without any issues [23:09] hello. i've been trying kubuntu 8.10 on a virtualbox. I change the oxygen cursor theme because I hate it, but when I restart the virtualbox, it's back. and also some applications switch back to oxygen. is this a virtualbox problem, or kde 4.1.2 problem? [23:09] Mr-S: But it says [ok], so it should be done with the battery part.. any idea what its supposed to do after? or could u perhaps boot a 8.10 live cd n check whats the next thing its doing? :) [23:09] thank you weedar :) [23:10] Darthfrog: don't worry, my ignorance is only a clever disguise ;-) [23:11] it seems like kubuntu wants to check on the battery state. this is not common on a live cd. try downloding anothing kubuntu image. burned that one again, and boot on the new cd image [23:11] weedar: So is mine. Trouble is, is that it's becoming reality! :-) [23:11] rav: that happens to me too in 8.10beta on a real computer (have not tried final yet) .... also problems with downloading and installing icons and themes. [23:11] well ... here it is ... -> [ 67.528764] uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -32 (exp. 26). [23:11] zabbadapp: thanks. I will try with final on the virtualbox before switching. [23:12] i don't know what that means [23:12] Mr-S: actually.. that was the first thing i tried [23:12] i also don't really know most of the stuff demesg is showing me [23:12] ok... [23:12] mado-livecd: you don't happen to have a logitech webcam? [23:13] if you have tried this one, and still get this issue. it points to hardware it cannot define or install. [23:13] how old is your desktop PC ? [23:13] half a year or so [23:14] i don't know ... but ... here weedar ... http://phpfi.com/371772 [23:15] what kind of special hardware do you have: soundcard, network card, usb perapherals ? [23:15] any ideas why kubuntu 8.10 will not work in virtualbox? [23:15] it's a laptop integrated webcam weedar ... don't know who the manufacturer is [23:15] i bet they removed ps/2 support for my keyboard. [23:16] does this help you weedar? [23:16] mado-livecd: UVC is the webcam driver used by many new webcams, but somewhat broken for some cameras. In the case of a certain Logitech webcam the real problem was a broken firmware in the webcam that the windows-drivers could work-around [23:16] removed ps/2 keyboard ? by BIOS settings perhaps ? [23:17] The error you see reminds me of the one I used to get, but either way I would suggest you compile uvc from source [23:17] Wicked: it works on my virtualbox [23:17] Mr-S: iduno.. lol acording to what your saying they have removed support for some of my hardware [23:18] do you use a usb or ps/2 keyboard ? [23:18] ps/2 [23:19] mado-livecd: Of course, if you're using a live-cd that might be a bit bothersome to do everytime you boot.. [23:19] it shouldn't be an issue for kubuntu to detect your keybord. Anythinh special ablout your keyboard ? language, buttons, .... [23:19] well weedar ... i'm planning to install 8.10 :) [23:19] but do you think there could be more problems? [23:19] Mr-S: nothing special bout the keyboard.. was just picking the keyboard as a random part that might be causing the problem lol [23:20] mado-livecd: what do you mean? [23:20] Wicked: do you get an error? === Timmy is now known as TimS [23:21] in case you have a standard us keyboard, this i snot the reason as kubuntu can handle it. looks like a hardware issue,a BIOS isue or a burning issue. [23:21] rav, no [23:21] well weedar ... ... i know how to install kubuntu ... but i'm a bit afraid that there could be more problems as soon as kubuntu is installed ... i don't want to completely reinstall windows again ... or won't there be such problems? [23:21] Wicked: what doesn't work then? [23:22] nvm the keyboard.. i really doubt its the problem [23:22] rav, it installs it runs..but it runs SOOOOOO damn slow its unusable...i tried installing the guest additions which it said it instaled fine..but when i rebooted xorg was broken [23:22] check the live CD on another PC. In case it runs fine, you have a hardware issue, in caswe it runs bad, the image seems faulty. [23:22] I need some help to install the nvidia driver? [23:22] rav, and if i edit xorg.conf to use "vboxvideo" xorg doesnt work [23:22] got a 8600, and don't know where to start? [23:22] Mr-S: Hardware issue specificly with kubuntu 8.10... since 8.04 works like a charm :/ [23:23] you just nether know ... [23:23] !nvidia | kvark [23:23] mado-livecd: Why would you have to re-install Windows? Installing Kubuntu won't touch your Windows installation. [23:23] kvark: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:23] Wicked: I installed the 8.10-rc just fine [23:23] rav, it takes upwards of 10 seconds for the screen to refresh..so i move my mouse across the screen and it takes FOREVER for the vm to catch up [23:23] ty [23:23] this is my 2nd install of 8.10 [23:23] i knmow this sound wierd, but there has to be a reason [23:23] Darthfrog: ... i'm just ... a bit ... i don't know how you call it ... :) [23:23] Wicked: maybe not enough virtual memory assigned to the box [23:23] i installed 8.10rc and then today i installed final 8.10. and ive been using vb for a while now..never had issues [23:23] mado-livecd: Chicken? :-) [23:24] Doesn't sounds weird that there has to be A reason ;) [23:24] mado-livecd: Install Linux alongside Windows, on a separate partition. There shouldn't be any chance of it "damaging" your Windows installation [23:24] maybe :) ... yeah ... i guess that's the word === ronnie_ is now known as amd-64 [23:24] rav, there should be....i installed over a 8.04 vm and the 8.04 worked great [23:24] how to be in admin root privilage? [23:24] weedar: ... one more thing ... can you help me later with this compiling thing? [23:24] mado-livecd: Well, back up all your data that you care about. Then jump in the deep end. :-) [23:24] i know from expeperience that a wrong burning image may cause issues.... [23:24] hi all === junior is now known as junior_ [23:25] mado-livecd: sure, not sure how long I'll be online but I think it'll be a while - just highlight me by writing my nick and I'll respond if I'm here :) [23:25] !hi | PasNox [23:25] PasNox: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [23:25] i just switch to intrepid, with nvidia card, 3d acceleration is ok, but i can't enable desktop effect in opengl mode ( it works fine in xrender mode ) [23:25] compiling uvc is a sinch though, and I really mean that :-) [23:25] Wicked: Mr-S could be right, maybe the image is broken [23:25] what i can do ? [23:25] a what?? [23:25] rav: Mr-S is talking to me ^^ [23:25] rav, no errors during install.....so im prety sure the the image is good [23:26] and im installing right from the iso image. [23:26] sinch ... i can't find this word in my dictionary :) [23:26] good works guys -k.8-10 here [23:26] how to be in root? [23:26] what does it mean? ... something like "it's difficult" ? [23:26] mado-livecd: Are you not a native speaker of English? "Cinch" is idiomatic English. [23:26] mado-livecd: it was a typo, "cinch" means "easy" [23:27] uhuu ... and no .... i'm not a native speaker :) [23:27] cinch is the only word i didn't know :) [23:27] mado-livecd: :-) "It's a chinch" means "it's very easy" or "It's certain." [23:27] i have a virtualbox installation of vista (that i installed under hardy), and since i did a fresh install of intrepid, i can no longer access the floppy drive when using my vbox install of vist. anyone have a clue? [23:28] well this is a big letdown. [23:28] so a peace of cake then :) [23:28] vista* [23:28] Hi, Guys! [23:28] so ok then ... [23:28] What do I have to do to enabled the nvidia driver ona presario V3317la? [23:29] can you Darthfrog and weedar hang on ... i want to keep this here open if that's possible ... so that i can ask you something if i don't know what to do during the installation [23:29] !hi | antoranz [23:29] antoranz: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [23:29] so 8.10 is released, not like that final trial thing? [23:29] thanks, man [23:29] and erm ... Darthfrog ... did i sound like a native speaker? :) [23:29] the hardware manager saying my ati card not in use,when i try to enable it i tells me i need to be in root privilage or admin [23:29] * jmichaelx ^.^ [23:29] mado-livecd: I can't guarantee my presence. I come and go as life demands of me. ;-) [23:29] personne ne sait pour mon pb nvidia / desktop effects ? [23:29] !fr [23:29] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [23:29] uhuu ... i see Darthfrog ;) [23:29] back in hardy, the vidio used to crash when I used heavy graphics (like compiz) [23:30] mado-livecd: You have good command of English. Better than many lazy native speakers using a keyboard! :-) [23:30] Darthfrog: speak for yourself! [23:30] nobody know for my nvidia / desktop effects problem ? [23:30] opps, sorry [23:30] is it possible to disable the 3d accelerated desktop in kd4? My GPU fan is driving me mad [23:30] xp-killer: use "sudo" to run commands as root, or just "sudo bash" to get a root shell [23:30] my pagages are break how do i clean it out to continue installing? [23:30] Eyeless: noisy? [23:30] it do'nt work in opengl but does in xrender, and my 3d accelerator is working fine [23:30] very [23:30] Darthfrog: :) ... that flatters :) [23:30] i hope i don't blush :) [23:31] Eyeless: System Settings -> Desktop -> Desktop effects [23:31] Eyeless: i am having the same issue.... and my card is brand new [23:31] and now in intrepid, in the "proprietary drivers", I don't see anything about the nvidia card [23:31] Darthfrog: thank you *smiling* [23:31] mado-livecd: I'll probably be here, ask away if you run into problems. We'll try to help, or at least reply with witty sarcasm :-) [23:31] wat do i type "sudo root" in the console? [23:31] jmichaelx: mine is a bit old but very powerhungry [23:31] anyway.... what package should I install "by hand"? [23:32] weedar: *laughing* [23:32] hi all, in intrepid i want to set a screen resolution from the system settings [23:32] Eyeless: mine is two weeks old, but makes a very high pitched sound when compiz is running... it' awful [23:32] xp-killer: if you want a root-shell, just write "sudo bash" in a terminal and you'll get root after writing your password [23:32] but at the next startup it is forgotten [23:32] any idea? [23:33] JontheEchidna: thanks, i was looking in the pld kde 3 places :) [23:33] xp-killer: but for single commands you should just use "sudo ", like: "sudo cp something somewhere" [23:33] now lets see if my gpu shuts up [23:33] weedar: ok but now i cant download n install no packs from adept there was a comand to clean it up broken pacages but i forgot it [23:34] bad thing is that kde4 loses so much of its coolness without compiz [23:34] jmichaelx: im actuly considering getting a new card, maybe a fanless one [23:34] xp-killer: sudo apt-get -f install ? [23:34] xp-killer: try running "sudo apt-get update" and possibly "sudo apt-get upgrade" to refresh your package-cache and upgrade any upgradeable packages [23:34] hmm I see alot of issues bout 8.10 huh, makes me uncertain if i should wait to upgrade = ) [23:34] xp-killer: if some dependency is broken apt-get will suggest a command to fix it, I don't remember it at the moment [23:34] xp-killer: yeah, what ardchoille said :-) [23:34] xp-killer: if you're going to update or upgrade packages, keep in mind it will be slow [23:35] amd-64: aw, come on! All the cool kids are doing it [23:35] haha @ weed [23:35] i do wish they had not totally done away with pseudo-transparency.... maybe they will bring it back. that would be much better for lower spec hardware.... [23:35] * jmichaelx likes his old junk hardware [23:36] how to set screen resolution in system settings permanently? [23:37] well i'm hopeing there's many music programs, like 8.04, "IE" multi-trackers, synth effects, etc..etc... [23:37] amd-64: i totally trashed my kubuntu installation on my desktop when i tried to uprade to intrepid. that had never happened to me before. the upgrade an my laptop went fine.... my suggestion is to make sure and backup, backup, backup before you upgrade [23:38] ardchoille: a friend give me this kubuntu version cause mine is damage when i install this one i went in adept and im seing a lot of stuff install when i type compiz im not seing it in adept [23:38] jmichaelx: you should be able to turn off most of the eyecandy to increase speed, just uncheck everything under Desktop Effects [23:38] xp-killer: no idea, I don't use compiz [23:38] ardchoille: beryl? [23:38] weedar: yeah... but i need my transparency ^.^ [23:39] hi can i somehow add special actions for right column in dolphin? i mean i would like for ex convert avi to divx player etc, i know it is posssible in nautilus but i use kde4 [23:39] xp-killer: I keep all effects turned off, they don't serve any prupose IMHO [23:39] oh I'll just do a clean full install, after burning a cd, nothing on this , I already saved everything on 5 cd's = ) [23:39] amd-64: then you're in good shape [23:40] Hello people!) [23:40] ardchoille: ok. in my hardware driver they say my ati not in use i try to enable it then it went to look for drivers i tink then give me n error [23:40] ardchoille: i would shut compiz off, if i could still have some transparency... but that is not possible in KDE4 without a compositing manager running [23:40] !hi | bulbec [23:40] bulbec: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [23:40] Desktop Effects were fun the first time, but I got bored pretty fast. Give me a graytone console anyday. Even vim is too fancy if you ask me. And get off my lawn! [23:40] thanx) [23:41] i have a problem, can someone help me? [23:41] yup =) just take time to figure out a new desktop, same as 8.04 took me , awhile to get it the way i wanted = ) [23:41] lmao @ vim being too fancy [23:41] Hi! Can i install kubuntu without a cdrom? [23:41] weedar: Vim is too fancy? Vim? Fancy? What are you smoking?!? [23:41] there's already an old kubuntu installed but i want to make a clean installation [23:42] * Darthfrog thinks weedar has been into the recreational pharmaceuticals recently. [23:42] well, i was REALLY pissed about being forced to move to KDE4 if i wanted to use kubuntu intrepid.... but i must sheepishly admit that i am really liking it (even though i ranted against kde4 on the forums0 [23:43] jmichaelx: That's OK, a girl is allowed to change her mind. [23:43] Hey, Vim is actually great. I hated vi the first time I tried it, but once you learn a few commands it is a very efficient way to edit textfiles, and vim is even better, especially for code [23:43] how to start compiz automatically in kde4? [23:44] * jmichaelx throws a left-jab in Darthfrog's general direction [23:44] zarlino: System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Session manager [23:44] system settings [23:44] <--agrees wit jmichaelx, I wanted to keep this kde desktop too, just add the other stuff hehe [23:44] zarlino: how do u enable it if u know tell me cause it look like it install on my kubuntu already [23:44] where are u from guys? [23:45] You guys know that kwin in KDE 4 incorporates much of compiz? [23:45] !ot [23:45] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [23:45] What DOES surprise me is the recent security-notice about "ed". I mean, really? Who uses ed? [23:45] i cannot acces the floppy drive in my virtualbox install of vista since installing intrepid, and THAT is really making me mad [23:45] took me so long to get used to, now it's back to being a blonde twit like i never used a computer, haha till i get da hang of it! [23:45] i had kubuntu on my hard drive, i got kernel panic and after 12 houres of trying to make it work, someone "smart" said i had to install windows. I tryed, i got all formated but i didnt get the install(( when this hard is connected, it says IDE Channel 0 no 80 conductors installed, when i try to install kubuntu or windows it says "ata5.01 :status :{DRDY} Buffer I/O error no devise sda. logical block 0 ata 5.01: exe[tion [23:45] mask 0x0 SAct 0x0 Serr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen" did I killed my hard disk? or maybe i still can make it work [23:45] ? [23:46] vim-related issues are never off-topic [23:46] System Settings/Desktop/ Enable Desktop Effects. [23:46] jmichaelx: no, but asking where everyone's from is [23:46] Darthfrog: yes but kwin is slower an my integrated intel [23:46] lol ardchoille, agreed [23:47] Hi! Without having a cdrom-drive, is it possible to install ubuntu? I have an old one running (5.04) [23:47] i want to make a clean installation [23:47] update [23:48] replman: use unetbootin [23:48] replman: you could install from a usb-drive [23:48] hi is there any widget for kde4 with weather? [23:48] marekt: i'd like to know this too [23:48] weedar: also from a usb-stick? [23:49] replman: yeah :) [23:50] replman: checkout http://www.pendrivelinux.com [23:50] i installed open_suse on a very old ibm thinkpad, just for mom to play frozen bubble on hehe, it took 3 freakin hours!! [23:50] marekt, zarlino: sudo apt-get install plasmoid-weather ;kbuildsycoca4 [23:50] hack_the_world [23:52] You have probably been asked this 1,000 times.. nothing on forums.. How the heck do I change my IP on my NIC? [23:52] Fresh install gave me dhcp, but have no idea where to change to manual IP. Network manager runs through wizard but does nothing [23:53] Don't understand why installing from usb-stick must be so complicated [23:53] replman: Isn't is a easy as copying the iso to usb key and booting from the usb key? [23:54] Does someone know if my hard disk will work again? [23:54] i had kubuntu on my hard drive, i got kernel panic and after 12 houres of trying to make it work, someone "smart" said i had to install windows. I tryed, i got all formated but i didnt get the install(( when this hard is connected, it says IDE Channel 0 no 80 conductors installed, when i try to install kubuntu or windows it says "ata5.01 :status :{DRDY} Buffer I/O error no devise sda. logical block 0 ata 5.01: exe[tion [23:54] [19:45] mask 0x0 SAct 0x0 Serr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen" did I killed my hard disk? or maybe i still can make it work [23:54] [19:45] ? [23:54] JontheEchidna but how can i check weather at my location - poland? [23:54] marekt: weather.yahoo.com has a way I think [23:55] ardchoille: no :-( [23:55] How do I change from dhcp to manual IP? Network manager doesn't change anything... [23:56] is there a way to change the display driver? [23:56] marekt: use the city search, then go to the page. Your weather code should be in the url [23:56] hi [23:56] Hey [23:56] Elgordo123: you could add an entry in /etc/network/interfaces [23:57] i have intrepid and a logitech cordless keyboard/mouse MX 3200 with special buttons such as screen snapshot and calculator [23:57] JontheEchidna thanks it works ;0 [23:57] weedar: thanks. I'll take a look [23:57] :) [23:57] when i first installed kubuntu (it was the kubuntu before hardy), these buttons were working but not any more, what can i do to make them work ? [23:58] it shows only current temp, can it show a forecast? [23:58] marekt: it should gain that in KDE 4.2 [23:58] it should be much better then [23:58] hey has anyone seen that picture of Bill Gates, saying that he uses Linux haha. === ronnie_ is now known as amd-64 [23:59] JontheEchidna i found this one, giving a try ;0 http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/weatherforecast?content=92149&PHPSESSID=f8c31d87ded22423afb06be739a0724b
