[00:05] ToHellWithGA: it works ok from within kde here, but i can't comment on doing it from gnome [00:05] systemsettings is really bare in gnome [00:06] something about i18n, something about sound, and two other things that are neither mouse nor keyboard === giuseppe is now known as Guest92109 === Guest92109 is now known as giuseppe_ [00:07] CyD_: heh i just need copy the whole system to bigger hdd and adjust partition sizes (notebook).. will it work out of the box, or there will be problems w/ grup & fstab etc?

[00:09] "SMB and NFS servers are not installed on this machine, to enable this module the servers must be installed". Sigh. Why must file sharing NEVER work for me? === EvilDaemon is now known as maxbaldwin [00:11] I have read about file systems for flash memories, which is a good one that I can use? [00:12] starenka: don't quote me, but the hd should end up having the same device name (sda etc) so .. but you'll have to install grub into the mbr on the new drive [00:12] starenka: such as grub-install etc etc, should be easy instructions to find [00:12] ok [00:12] thx [00:12] :D [00:12] jwaldo: apt-get install samba [00:13] what does it mean when du and df don't agree? [00:13] CyD- does Samba work for sharing with Leopard, too? [00:13] jwaldo: yes, leopard will recognize smb (windows) shares, which samba is [00:14] du in root says 14gb used [00:14] awesome, thanks [00:14] and df says 46gb used :( [00:14] :D [00:15] KDesk: i have no probs using vfat, ntfs, ext3 on flash drives [00:15] KDesk: however i don't know if there are specific ones that would be best [00:16] CyD_: Yes, I have read that there a specific ones for flash memoryies, like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFFS2 [00:16] hi how can I check what version of kde im using?

[00:28] Devourer: you need a different command [00:28] I've already read that twice. [00:28] :( [00:28] CyD_, has also given it to me. [00:29] Devourer: easiest way I have found is to do the server upgrade [00:29] but I'm not a server. :o [00:29] That seems to work the nicest out of all methods [00:29] Devourer: The packages don't care [00:29] They just need to be told to upgrade [00:29] So it won't mess anything up? [00:29] Nope [00:29] LInux rocks :) [00:29] Oh. Ok. =] [00:29] Devourer: read this [00:29] Devourer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades [00:30] ActionParsnip, I already have. :'( [00:30] Devourer: theres a section that reads: Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) [00:30] Yeah. :) [00:30] Devourer: theres 3 commands to run which will upgrade you [00:30] * ActionParsnip puts away his spoon [00:31] haha. [00:31] I hope this works... [00:31] hmmmm, Samba is installed and working, but still no luck [00:31] Or else I'm just gonna move over to GNOME. [00:31] Devourer: whatever suits you best [00:31] jwaldo: can we see your /etc/samba/smb.conf please [00:32] Haha, yeah. Lol. [00:32] jwaldo: use pastebin [00:32] Devourer: so did you read that bit I pointed you to? [00:33] Devourer: and is it working? [00:33] ActionParsnip, I'm on the editing part. [00:33] It looks like it should work. [00:34] Devourer: so you didnt read it then did you? [00:34] I did. [00:34] I'm on step 3. [00:34] then why didnt you see that bit? [00:34] What? [00:35] Devourer: you said you'd read the post and the solution wasnt there, yet the thing you are currently following is on that same post [00:36] ActionParsnip, Well... Mr. specific. I thought the server upgrade applied to server installations not desktop installations, so therefore I believed that did not apply to me and THEREFORE the solution was not there. [00:37] the server and desktop systems are pretty much the same, just slightly different kernel nd some packages but its all updated using the same method [00:37] ActionParsnip- noob question, but pastebin? [00:37] !paste | jwaldo [00:37] jwaldo: 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) [00:37] ah [00:37] jwaldo: paste text in there, hit paste, then give us the address bar contents [00:38] jwaldo: so we can view the file === pyRunner is now known as prometheusUnboun [00:38] ActionParsnip, it's working now though. :o I think this is the easiest method of them all... [00:38] is there a real way to check if you contact on msn has blocked you [00:38] prometheusUnboun, so annoying with the name changes. [00:38] Devourer: indeed [00:38] wesley: theres a thing online, its sneaky [00:39] hi all, i made a upgrade to 8.10 so far all is working, even the new kde version [00:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/69410/ [00:39] wesley: http://www.blockstatus.com/msn/stchecker [00:39] where? becaudse i want to check if i am blocked === prometheusUnboun is now known as pyRunner [00:39] does it really work? [00:40] Test it to find out I guess. [00:40] Also, it lists my Mac, but I get an error when I try to connect [00:40] jwaldo: ok, thats a very stock smb.conf [00:40] should be, I haven't changed anything at all [00:40] wesley: yeah, it basically fakes being a user and checks status, you may be blocked but randomly generated names arent which is how the thing works [00:40] It works [00:41] wesley: told you [00:41] jwaldo: then put some data in that file and resart the samba service, folders will appear [00:41] jwaldo: http://pastebin.com/f612b4131 [00:42] ActionParship its the first one that worls [00:42] jwaldo: here's mine, look at the bottom lines. Its really that simple to share stuff [00:44] jwaldo: ActionParsnip, haven't seen the whole combo but filesharing usually configures fine through the gui as well [00:45] right click folder, properties, sharing [00:45] in kde at any rate [00:45] s/combo/convo === andrea is now known as Guest60031 [00:45] CyD_: if you look at my file, its so simple, plus you can look cool by sshing in, adding a share then restarting samba [00:46] ActionParsnip: :) [00:46] CyD_: ive always used the conf files, gui is way too slow for me [00:47] I can see the other computer in my workgroup, but when I try to connect I get a "could not connect to host" error [00:49] jwaldo: did you sudo smbpasswd [00:50] On which computer? [00:50] jwaldo: the linux one running samba [00:50] ActionParship now i know for sure that my girlfriend blocked me, and that sucks [00:50] This must be what it was like for me as a new Windows user too many, many years ago. =| [00:51] jwaldo: you'll learn [00:51] in Terminal, I assume [00:51] If there was a program that could confrotate her would be nice [00:51] jwaldo: always in terminal [00:52] jwaldo: i dont use gui much whih is good in irc as its a text based chat [00:53] watch www.zeithgeistmovie.com and join thevenusproject.com === myrmidons is now known as pyRunner [00:53] "sudo: smbpassword: command not found" [00:54] is that smbpasswd? [00:54] doh [00:54] wrong link... www.zeitgeistmovie.com :D [00:55] jwaldo: sudo smbpasswd [00:56] jwaldo: thats the username and password you use to access your samba shares [00:56] ah\ [00:56] I already set those through the GUI [00:59] jwaldo: well yu just set it now in the terminal way [01:00] jwaldo: try now, add some shares to the smb.conf file (you'll need kdesudo kate /etc/samba/smb.conf) [01:00] jwaldo: then run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:00] shares? [01:01] jwaldo: check my smb.conf out: http://pastebin.com/f612b4131 [01:02] jwaldo: and look at the bottom 20 lines or so, those are my 2 shares i have on my fileserver [01:03] ActionParsnip- The [CDROM] and [Downloads] sections? [01:03] jwaldo: yep [01:04] jwaldo: its THAT simple [01:04] I assume the bracketed names are files/locations and the stuff under them sets the sharing permissions? [01:04] jwaldo: if you copy my text into yours then modify as required [01:05] jwaldo: yeah the bracketted name is the name of the share [01:06] how do I move widgets in kde 4 [01:07] bdog: drag them [01:07] hmmm, Kate won't let me save the changes [01:07] they're not movin! [01:07] jwaldo: did you open it with kdesudo kate /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:07] like the app launcher [01:08] bdog: you may need to click the lock button on the widget so it becomes unlocked [01:09] saved. Now what? [01:09] jwaldo: the file is owned by root so you need kdesudo kate to run kate as root [01:09] jwaldo: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:10] jwaldo: the file is reread and the new config is now applied [01:11] ok i had to go to panel settings [01:11] hmmm, same error [01:12] jwaldo: hmm [01:12] "could not connect to host for smb://spiffy-macbook/" [01:12] jwaldo: what about if you give the full name, like: /// [01:12] jwaldo: can you ping the system by name? [01:13] How would I do that? [01:14] jwaldo: ping spiffy-macbook [01:15] "ping: unknown host spiffy-macbook" [01:15] jwaldo: thats your problem [01:15] jwaldo: you cant resolve the name to an IP [01:16] jwaldo: bad dns [01:16] ah [01:16] jwaldo: you could put the system on static ip and have an entry in /etc/hosts [01:16] jwaldo: or find out why its not resolving [01:16] might be something in the Mac settings [01:16] If I am conected with a wifi and cable network, how can I specify through which conexion the internet should be accessed? [01:17] jwaldo: silly question, is spiffy-macbook turned on? Is it the correct computername? [01:17] zir-rt: pull one of the interfaces down [01:17] It's on and the name is right [01:18] jwaldo: go find out its ip address [01:18] jwaldo: and double check the host name [01:18] ActionParsnip: could you tell me how? Is that to disconect one? === viriimind is now known as viriimind__ [01:19] ActionParsnip how good does that msn status checker work [01:19] wesley: not sure Ive not had any use of it but i know how it works [01:19] zir-rt: sudo ifdown [01:19] Where should In enter its IP address? And where would I find the host name? [01:20] jwaldo: if its a mac i have no idea [01:20] Can it be tha msn user under Linux are automatic offline ? [01:20] wesley: they can appear offline with the client [01:21] amsn says that she removed me from her contact list [01:21] ActionParsnip: thanks. But with the interface down, if I want to access through the other I have to restore from the down (up?) and down the other? [01:21] zir-rt: if you are connected with both it will force traffic through the up interface [01:21] Is the host name the same as computer name? [01:22] zir-rt: you can always sudo ifup [01:22] jwaldo: yes [01:22] ActionParsnip: thanks! [01:22] ah, then yes, it's correct [01:22] jwaldo: ok, well if you can use the ip instead [01:23] smb://192.168.0.2/ for example [01:23] use the ip of spiffy-macbook [01:23] how can amsn know if a person removed you from there contactlist [01:24] wesley: not sure, does it tell you? [01:26] yeah it does tell me that, and i believe that can be right [01:26] wesley: You would have to have an understanding of the protocal, But you would assume it could tell you because the MSN server tells it, The MSN server may tell it because perhaps it does some peer to peer notification when you are online although that seems abit strange, perhaps thats what it does.. [01:28] if a person is offline you would´nt get there screen name [01:29] wesley: it just asks the msn server if they are online as some randomly generated account name, the server sees the user is not blocking this random account so it responds with the situation [01:30] ActionParsnip- no luck with the IP address, but the other computer HAS disappeared from the worgroup list [01:30] jwaldo: i think your smaba server has issues. id reboot it [01:30] That'd be this computer, right? [01:31] hey folks. I'm running sourcemage linux (yea, i know but we're all together in linux right and i feel like i've exhausted my options) and kde 4.1.3. For some reason when i run kde4 non-phonon apps the sound is blocked. Now i'm not aware of how phonon could actually grip the soundcard. It's just an api and others tell me they don't have this problem. I have a m-audio delta 1010lt card. Any ideas at all? [01:31] this is messing up my mythtv and i have to do a demo on mythtv in a few weeks. [01:31] jwaldo: yeah, the samba server pc is not in your routers dns list so i'd reboot it [01:31] brb, then [01:32] Bearcat: maybe you should swich sound server [01:32] Bearcat: try ALSA [01:33] ActionParsnip: alsa is not a sound server. It's a kernel level api and driver system. [01:33] ActionParsnip: and it's a problem when i run kde4 [01:34] for a brief period last night i considered swithing to Gnome to get past this problem [01:34] do u know how can i uninstall openoffice 3 ??? [01:34] Bearcat: then ditch it for gnome [01:35] to be clear, it's not phonon apps that are blocking the sound server as i can run multiple phonon apps and get sound from them all. It's phonon itself [01:35] lakis1982: dpkg -l | grep -i office [01:36] lakis1982: then sudo apt-get --purge remove [01:36] on whatever what should i type ? [01:36] It sees the MB again, but still has the host problem [01:36] ActionParsnip: well, that would solve the problem, but it's not the solution i'm looking for. That's kind of like buying a new car when your alternator goes bad. [01:37] actionpars ?? what does the first command is for ? [01:37] whats its purpose? [01:38] It doesn't seem to be the router, so it myst be the Mac [01:38] lakis1982: you are querying your system for office apps, you can then find the package name and uninstall it with apt-get [01:39] Bearcat: hardly, its still ubuntu linux. just a different desktop [01:39] jwaldo: well you arent resolving the name to an IP so if you can find out its ip address you can circumvent dns [01:40] it turned many results in terminal with this command [01:40] how can i uninstall them all? [01:40] ActionParsnip: well right, but i'm comfortable in kde for a number of reasons. Besides, i know others have this working so it must either be a configuration issue or my card itself [01:40] What's the linux terminal command for finding the IP address? [01:41] Bearcat: true, i cant think of anything to suggest really, sorry. You may have to use it if the time starts pressing. just to get you through your demo [01:41] jwaldo: ifconfig [01:42] ActionParsnip: thanks. They wanted to see KDE too, but if worst comes to worst i might be able to stop phonon or just load up somthing like E17 that looks good. [01:42] If any one has not yet installed firefox, but is thinking of doing so, I suggest you use: sudo aptitude -R install firefox [01:42] That will avoid installing recommended packages by default so hopefully you don't get all the gnome libs. [01:43] ActionParsnip- Works in the Mac terminal, too. Now, where do I put the Mac's IP address? [01:43] You can see what WOULD happen by using the simulate command: sudo aptitude -s install firefox [01:43] thanks for the support ActionParsnip [01:44] ActionParsnip: awesome nic by the way. You should have your own action figure [01:45] how can i uninstall them all? [01:46] Bearcat: its a harry hill joke [01:47] lakis1982: you could awk and grap like crazy, id just type them or copy paste [01:47] jwaldo: in your file browser type: smb:/// [01:47] WHATS UP NEWBIEE [01:47] Bearcat: try a little later, someone may be able to help [01:47] ActionParsnip: i shall. thanks [01:47] just installed kubuntu [01:48] courtjesterg: nice [01:48] anybody know how i get that invisble desktop back on the desktop lol [01:48] invisible desktop? [01:49] ActionParsnip: i think he means the file browser plamoid [01:49] what ever it's called [01:49] i restart the computer and then it was gone! Yeah when you first start up the system on the desktop it has a window thats invisable and you can add stuff inthere [01:49] it said desktop onit [01:49] Hooray, it worked! If I can remember which password I need to enter for authentication >_> [01:49] checked my widgets nah [01:49] jwaldo: your DNS isnt working [01:50] courtjesterg: add the "Folder view" to your desktop, set that to show the Desktop folder and then enlarge it to fill the desktop space. [01:50] courtjesterg: right click dsktop -> add widget -> folder view [01:50] widgets are evil [01:50] ok thaks new to this irc chat too used it long ago welcome to a new era a free era of development [01:51] * Bearcat wishes kde4 had a good chat program. He's stuck using gaim [01:51] Bearcat: pidgin is awesome [01:51] *shrugs* i don't care for it as much [01:52] Kopete works fine for me [01:52] Dragnslcr: for irc? Really? What version? [01:52] Bearcat Kopete > [01:52] ? [01:52] I stopped following Pidgin development after the magically-expanding-textarea episode [01:53] For IRC i use Konversation [01:53] Bearcat- sorry, thought you meant IM [01:53] Konversation is good enough for me [01:53] i use a whole host of protocols so having a seperate app for irc doesnt make any sense to me [01:53] Wish it had event-based scripting, but I'm dealing with it [01:53] ActionParsnip- something on my computer not working. Hardly a new experience =| [01:54] Dragnslcr: no probs. I've been using emacs to do irc. If that not geeky i donno what is!

[02:17] hold on let me copy the ifconfig output over first [02:20] Hmmmm, one thing I miss about Windows- problems had a habit of just going away after a while :P [02:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/69443/ [02:21] yes i can ping an ip but not do a lookup [02:21] Linux_Galore_: then dns is failing [02:21] ActionParsnip: I think its that extra line in hosts.conf [02:21] ActionParsnip: my laptop doesnt have it [02:22] Linux_Galore_: add one of these IPs to /etc/resolv.conf [02:22] Linux_Galore_: http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/ [02:22] Linux_Galore_: those are public DNS servers [02:23] Linux_Galore_: that can sort stuff out, only add one or two [02:24] ActionParsnip: resolve.conf has the opendns IP same as this laptop [02:24] Linux_Galore_: well if you can connect via ip but not name then dns is failing [02:25] logically [02:25] ActionParsnip: now its working, and no I havent edited anything [02:25] ActionParsnip: slow assed dhcpd [02:26] Linux_Galore_: maybe its just a dns burp [02:26] hmm, when I try to directly access my laptop's shared folder, it asks for username and password. Whose username and password do I use? [02:26] ActionParsnip: I noticed the bind line disapapeared from /etc/host.conf by itself [02:26] jwaldo: the one you set with sudo smbpasswd [02:27] Linux_Galore_: strange [02:27] ActionParsnip: yeah, computers dont do thing by themselves unless there is a conflict [02:27] In KDE4, is there a way to change the time to AM/PM? [02:28] matt__: System Settings -> Regional and Language -> time tab [02:28] ActionParsnip: wonder were it got the order hosts,bind crap from in host.conf [02:29] matt__: there doesnt appear to be an option for it in the widget's options [02:29] ActionParsnip: I suspect its a timeout that forced dhcpd to try again [02:30] ActionParsnip: jtechidna Oh, thanks. Sorta driving me nuts. Other than that, KDE4.1* is solid ;) [02:30] :) [02:30] * mister-tea seems like he might wait awhile to upgrade to 8.10 with all the troubles I've seen [02:30] Linux_Galore_: if it happens again, you could restart networking to bup start [02:31] mister-tea: works 100% here. but all my hardware is 100% linux certified :D [02:33] Odd, the only folder it shows on my laptop apparently doesn't exist [02:33] Hello, I can't get compiz Rotate Cube effect to work on KDE. Would someone please help me for a moment? [02:34] !compiz [02:34] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion [02:35] try that vic [02:35] VicTheHunter: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:35] Thanks. Is #compiz-fusion an irc channel? [02:36] matt__ the short answer is yes I have seen this question answered before but I'm still on 3.5 so I can't tell you how [02:36] there yoou go [02:36] I have installed compiz. Also, my screen automatically switches between desktops every time my mouse touches the edge of the screen. How do I disable the auto-screen-switch? [02:37] mister-tea: It's ok, someone told me. [02:37] It's annoying, because I use my keyboard and mouse on my lap. When the mouse rolls to the edge, the active window is gone. [02:37] lap -> that is, my lapdesk. [02:39] ActionParsnip: thanks but I still have a problem with mediamanager and usb sticks is that cured in 8.10 if so I'm there === Drachenblut is now known as Lord_Drachenblut [02:40] mister-tea: mediamanager? [02:41] yeah when I try to mount usb or digital camera I get mediamanager is not running error I've yet to cure it [02:42] I had it working on 3.5.9 but it came back since 3.5.10 [02:42] Apparently I was wrong about being able to connect directly to the laptop- tried the same process with a made-up IP address, same result [02:43] ive not heard of that one mister-tea. I just use mount [02:44] well I've read alot about it recently and I still have a few things to try but the wife is pissy about not being able to upload her pictures [02:44] has something to do with kded [02:45] mister-tea: just mount it with mount and you get a score, ive never heard of mediamanager [02:45] although i do have it installed [02:46] well I can't seem to find it either but it prohibits me from any mounting manual or otherwise I got around it before by removing dolphin but as I said it's back [02:47] If I could find it I would try removing it [02:48] mister-tea: could switch to gnome [02:49] ActionParsnip- you know the terminal command for sending a limited number of pings? [02:50] jwaldo: ping www.aol.com -c 4 [02:50] example [02:50] cool [02:50] man ping ;) [02:51] my laptop does respond when I ping the router-assigned IP address or the regular IP address [02:52] I installed the package kubuntu-desktop which installed a whole bunch of kde stuff. Now I want to get rid of all the kde stuff I did removed kubuntu-desktop but it didn't autoremove all the kde stuff. How do I get rid of it all? [02:52] jwaldo: add your routers ip as a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [02:53] !puregnome | ziroday [02:53] ziroday: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [02:53] ActionParsnip: thanks! === EvilDaemon is now known as maxbaldwin [02:54] ActionParsnip- it's already there [02:55] um thats removing a whole load of packages, including wine, liferea, ogmrip, etc... [02:56] jwaldo: then your router is having issues. id reboot it [02:56] ziroday: then edit those out [02:57] brb [02:58] Hello, How do I disable all of the messages which say who enters or leaves this irc chat room? [02:58] does anyone use webcam and microphone to do web conference with other people here? [02:59] ActionParsnip did you get any of that through the net split? [03:00] mister-tea: didnt see anything [03:00] I got kicked on the last one [03:01] I was down to 25 people in the room === ryan is now known as jwaldo_ [03:02] ActionParsnip do you know if I need mediamanger at all? [03:03] mister-tea: not sure, uninstall it and see what happens, you can always reinstall it === miguel is now known as Guest54805 [03:05] k I'll try it later when I"m back on that box [03:07] I think I'll give up on making my LAN play nice together for today [03:10] I need help connecting my wireless internet in kubuntu 8.10 [03:10] !ask [03:10] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[03:16] yes [03:17] it works in windows xp [03:19] Now when I try to connect to the laptop's IP address, I get a server timeout. Almost improvement-like [03:20] jwaldo_: is it the same ip as the system you are connecting to? maybe its dhcp lease expired and it has a new one [03:20] It's the IP assigned by the router [03:21] jwaldo_: check its the right ip [03:23] ActionParsnip- definitely the right IP [03:23] actionparsnip: the iwlwifi page says the released drivers won't work with kernels 2.6.24 and up. is that a problem? [03:24] Pyles17: maybe, you can use ndiswrapper if you turn up blank [03:25] Pyles17: which kernel are you running, use uname -a === EvilDaemon is now known as maxbaldwin [03:25] ActionParsnip: 2.6.27 [03:26] Pyles17: on intrepid [03:27] ActionParsnip: That's 8.10 right? I'm a Linux newb [03:27] yeah 8.10 = intrepid [03:27] ok. then yes [03:28] Pyles17: lsb_release -a | grep -i code [03:28] ;) [03:29] right [03:30] Okay, got the direct connection working. The laptop's firewall was blocking the connection [03:31] brb [03:32] Pyles17: what does lshw -C network show [03:33] ActionParsnip: [03:33] *-network UNCLAIMED [03:33] description: Network controller [03:33] product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [03:33] vendor: Intel Corporation [03:33] physical id: 0 [03:33] bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 [03:33] version: 02 [03:34] width: 32 bits [03:34] clock: 33MHz [03:34] capabilities: cap_list [03:34] configuration: latency=0 [03:34] !paste [03:34] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

How do i get a kmail [03:46] do i already have a kmail? [03:46] ActionParsnip: I've emerged victorious. Thanks a million =) [03:46] Pyles17: you have to be in the same folder as the file [03:46] jwaldo: sweet [03:47] courtjesterg: dpkg -l | grep -i kmail [03:47] ? what??? [03:48] do have a kmail or do i have to sign up for one? [03:48] or is it just the programs name [03:48] KMail is just the program's name [03:48] courtjesterg: kmail is only a client. It basically brings your email to your computer, it's not actually a mail service === ses59 is now known as ses59_ [03:48] ohhh [03:50] courtjesterg: its like outlook express [03:50] yeah i got it i know its just like thunderbird and ect.... [03:50] exactly [03:50] so how secure is this browser and this email client? [03:50] secure in what way? [03:51] Looks like I'll be celebrating my victory by trying to get Amarok to play my iTunes files >_< [03:51] i mean is there still a high threat to virus or no cause this is written in a different code then windows [03:51] courtjesterg: oh yeah its groovy as windows viri wont touch you [03:51] ActionParsnip: so if it's on my desktop, would it be?: tar zxvf home/michael/desktop/iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.1.8.tgz [03:52] courtjesterg: just run it as user and you'll be pretty much ok (linux virii do exist but are very limited and dont do much really due to the user model) [03:52] Pyles17: desktop has a capital D [03:52] Pyles17: linux is case sensitive [03:52] that would explain why it didn't work.

Should i use it? I do have McAfree and ghost surf dunno if they work for linux but they did for windows === Roy_Muzz is now known as Roy_M [04:02] <_2> the firewall is iptables. yse it's good, firestarter, guarddog, ufw, and iptables are all ways of configuring iptables. === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna [04:13] is there anyway to use compiz fusion in kubuntu on vmware ? [04:13] on a related note, how do i use beryl, or what is a good replacement for kde? [04:13] hi there, is it possible to have dolphin show folder size on demand ? pretty much like it does for files, but for folder, and on demand only not automaticaly [04:14] each time i want to display folder size i have to right click and show folder properties [04:14] there's no other way ? [04:14] Im happy with KDE [04:16] !dolphin [04:16] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.

See also !compiz [04:18] keisangi: I assume that it doesn't calculate folder size since it is much more complicated/resource consuming [04:18] depending on how many subfolders a folder has, the computer could be chugging away for quite a while determining the size of the folder and all of it's contents [04:19] JontheEchidna: that's why i asked "on demand" :) [04:20] right click -> properties :P [04:20] * JontheEchidna kids [04:20] like a toolbar button: "display selected folder sizes" [04:20] JontheEchidna: :) [04:21] is there a place where to submit feature requests ?

[05:36] i used to be able to cd /media/cdrom to the mounted cd. has that chaned in kubuntu 8.10 ? [05:36] I noticed mine is /media/cdrom1 now [05:36] or /media/cdrom0 [05:36] /media/cdrom is normally a link to one of those.. it maybe linked to the wrong one [05:36] <_2> !tab | Ahmuck [05:36] Ahmuck: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:37] <_2> i.e. cd /media/cd [05:38] <_2> maybe two tabs ^ [05:38] oddly when virtual box guest additions gets mounted, and i navigate to /media/cdrom, nothing shows up. it's as if it's mounted but it isn't [05:39] Hmm.. I always mount that cdrom manually. Not sure the automount stuff sees those changes [05:40] I got 8.10 in virtualbox right now.. lets see [05:40] <_2> how did you mount it ? [05:40] Somthing else i do with virtualbox.. is i mount the guest addations cd.. then i copy the files over to /root/ or whever.. just in case i need to reinstall them easier. [05:41] booting virtualbox :) [05:41] <_2> Ahmuck you can use the command "mount" to see what is mounted where. as well as "df" [05:42] "Virtualbox -> Devices -> Install Guest addations' - DID auto mount that cd.. and it did popup the filemanager window here. and asked to auto-run stuff. :) [05:43] Not that the Autorun Stuff EVER works.. [05:43] it mounted to --> /media/cdrom0 [05:43] so your seeing files in /media/cdrom0 ? === edwin is now known as Guest42760 [05:44] Yes. the virtual cd is mounted there...

[05:55] k, dr_willis did you get a resize window after installing guest additions or is this now borked [05:55] nm, it worked here [05:55] a resize window after install ? [05:55] kubuntu 8.10 is really slow booting up [05:55] :) [05:58] why is firefox tied to so many dependancies? [05:59] <_2> ls's -L switch is about useless imo [06:00] <_2> Ahmuck cause it sux ? [06:01] <_2> just a guess [06:01] kubuntu is really slow [06:01] 8.10 [06:02] with the same virtual machine memory [06:03] Mine is fast [06:04] whats ur memory size? [06:05] 1GB [06:06] 512 [06:07] KDE uses quite a bit of memory from what I've heard, upgrading to at least 1GB would probably help. [06:08] <_2> oh my. kde3 will run in 32m you need more than 512 to run kde4 ??? [06:08] <_2> ps. no swap ^ [06:08] I don't think so, but it probably help if running many programs. [06:09] I have 1GB and it is using about .5GB of swap with lots of things running (including Compiz). [06:10] Or I thought it was, it isn't right now... [06:10] Nvm, System monitor is screwing up the values lol [06:11] <_2> Memory Used/Total Percent: 45/502 MB (8%) [06:11] <_2> and no swap.

[06:15] this new one is making me grumpy [06:15] <_2> weather forcast for three mile island, hot (6000°) ; five day outlook, three days! [06:16] Theres an old-style menu plasmid you can add to the panel. [06:16] lol [06:16] <_2> CoJaBo-Eee just a little high... [06:16] I think System Monitor has a bug, I think I'd notice my CPU being that hot :P [06:17] Tho it is an Atom, maybe its having a meltdown o_O [06:17] <_2> when it dropped on the floor and started a fire there... yeah. [06:19] * _2 pictures cpu burning like white phosporus, streight through the case... desk... floor... [06:20] lol [06:22] <_2> ooops, i think it kinda over heated just a little [06:22] i got a problem and was wondering if there was a work around can anyone see if they can help [06:23] <_2> !ask [06:23] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[06:45] i run into a problem where i'm updating several virtual machines and it's downloading the same stuff over and over. is there a way to create a repository locally for the virtual machines and save bandwidth? [06:45] HOW THE HELL IS ACHLLES AN ARTIFICAL LIFE SIMILATOR I AM TELLING YOU it looks like a random bunch of box flat models in a movie attacking your screen found int he science section [06:45] could you guys quit abusing the bot [06:51] hi bot where youa t [06:51] bot tell me what is myspace url? [06:51] come on.. [06:51] I'm having a problem with KDE4 running some apps like konversation and k3b. The drop-down menus are all empty and sometimes text just dissappears on me! [06:52] how is kde4 going? [06:52] great i just installed it [06:52] is it stabilising? [06:52] so i have no clue [06:52] first time linux userr but have played with macs and such [06:52] us, first timers, have much to learn [06:53] i got the os down already [06:53] im scared of installing stuff [06:53] cuz my installation might break [06:53] =/ [06:53] but anyways i install/uninstall stuff [06:53] its just something i just don't know about used one os used them all === edwin is now known as Guest11540 [06:53] i installed to the harddrive and took my windows xp out [06:54] even played with vita it was the same basically with a new splash design [06:54] vista [06:57] first time linux users now, don't have as much to learn as first timers 5 years ago [06:57] you are damn right [06:57] why do i see file managers for download when kubuntu already has one makes no sense to develope an add on [06:58] courtjesterg, if u dont like the one that kubuntu install, you can try another [06:58] i remember recompiling redhat kde src rpm's to get mp3 support [06:58] if you do like it, then great [06:58] i remember installing red hat, and downloading codecs [06:58] and i remember i managed to play mp3s :D [06:58] that was like, 4 yrs ago [06:59] or something [06:59] yeah noticed my keyboard is missing functions lol gotta see about that so is linux code written in c or c++ or is it something different i got a c++ book [06:59] Has anyone seen the t-shirt that says Got root? [06:59] just need the compiler [07:00] FisherPrice: Definitely, KDE 4.2 is going to be a great release. KDE 4.1 is pretty soild for me [07:00] knows a little about functions and loops and rays [07:00] i hear that.. the next release is having kde4 standard. is it going to be 4.2? [07:01] FisherPrice: The next release of Kubuntu? 8.10 already has KDE 4.1 standard. [07:01] kde 4.1 has given me problems, i had to re-install like 8 times... [07:01] and im not joking [07:01] i hope they work on it a bit more... [07:02] well, this kubuntu 8.10.. [07:02] for stability [07:02] cameri: Strange, I don't have any problems with KDE 4.1 [07:02] I read an article that put it quite nicely...KDE 4.0 was alpha, KDE 4.1 is Beta, KDE 4.2 is RC, KDE 4.3/4.4/4.5 stable releases [07:03] hmm, does anybody's screen flicker every 10 seconds? [07:03] cameri: yeah, simple fix....just turn off the RANDR service [07:03] i did in the browser [07:03] i get a black flash about every 10 secs [07:03] isaacj87: sure... where is the Service Manager? [07:04] found it [07:04] running a geforce3 [07:04] cameri: http://blog.nixternal.com/2008.10.22/kubuntu-intrepid-dual-monitor-blinking/ [07:04] isaacj87: man, thanks a lot, my screen stopped flickering :D [07:04] how does the compositing in kde4 compare with compiz? [07:04] cameri: It's so annoying right? lol, I'm glad I found a fix [07:05] I tend to disabel them both FisherPrice :) [07:05] anyone here uses Intel AGN 4965 with LEAP? [07:05] Wireless [07:05] FisherPrice whats for the holidays =) [07:05] FisherPrice: Fairly well. Not nearly has complex as CF, but it can hold its own. Kwin in 4.2 is pretty nice as well...from what I've seen [07:05] why wlassistant is not on 8.10' repositories? :( [07:05] isaacj87: +1 karma for you [07:05] !wlassistant [07:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about wlassistant [07:05] :[ [07:06] i like the compositing.. i just like showing the youtube clips for CF to people at work and say "can windows do this?" [07:06] ahh the ati driver won't activate on my fresh install [07:06] but i do find it usefull at times [07:06] I did not even try compiz fusion with KDE 4.1.3 [07:07] especially transparent windows [07:07] press the activate button at it just sits there.... [07:07] and zoom [07:07] I am too scared to try [07:07] it might blow up everything [07:07] lol [07:07] compiz fusion is sort of fragile, what if it conflicts with KDE 4.1 effects? [07:07] One thing I uninstalled on Kubuntu and replaced was that stupid guidance power manager applet. I replaced it with PowerDevil (in the repos) and it's so much nicer. [07:07] i guess my other successful install two days ago was one-off [07:07] hello [07:07] really, it scares me [07:08] I agree with the first part of tha tstatement 'compiz fusion is sort of fragile' [07:08] isaacj87: me too! [07:08] :) [07:08] well, i had to re-install 8 times thanks to enabling All Effects [07:08] :-/ [07:08] isaacj87: but do you have an applet for it? [07:08] cameri, gee.. seems like it would of been faster to learn how to disable them :) [07:08] ptl: Not for PowerDevil [07:08] isaacj87: yeah, this is a problem, don't you think? [07:09] ptl: Kind of. I guess if you're in need of quick access to it. But you can always just use KRunner and change what setting you want. [07:09] this answer escapes me. I have this computer setup and running Kubuntu 8.10. I have a laptop with Damn Small Linux on it (rather underpowered box). I'd like to use the laptop as a 'thin client' and have it log into my main computer. I can ssh in, and spawn x apps without issues (from laptop to desktop), but i'd like it to be easier. Ideally, it would act as another client screen with it's own keyboard/mouse to this machine. any suggestions? [07:10] dr_willis, i thought the problem was something else [07:11] SilentDis, you can use xdmcp and the X -query stuff to sort of do that. (well thats how it used tobe done) [07:11] ptl: press alt+f2 and type power profile and you can easily switch. Just set up your profile nicely and it works out pretty well :) [07:11] but it may be easier/better to just forward the single apps you use [07:11] isaacj87: humm, good tip [07:11] dr_willis: got a howto somewhere? I know i did this before way back, i just can't remember any of it lol [07:11] i installed qtcurve, yet i fail to see it in Styles [07:11] XDMCP guides [07:11] =/ [07:12] enable xdmcp on the GDM loginmanager, and i forget how ya start X on the client, DSL may be a bit tricky [07:12] anyone? [07:12] ptl: I'm not going to lie though...I like PowerDevil cause it makes that nice little sound when I plug/unplug my laptop :P [07:12] *sigh* [07:12] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ [07:12] noticed download a disk manager doesn't work [07:13] sorry PSiL0 i dont use ati. [07:13] welli got a laptop with ati..but it worked. :) [07:13] it sits in the task bar then closes out noting happens [07:13] PSiL0: you could try Envy [07:13] dr_willis: Yeah, it worked well two days ago [07:14] there have been some kerel updates.. could of messed somthing up [07:14] try booting an older kernel? [07:14] hmmm could be the case, but I'm using the same liveCD.. although, there could have been updates during the install [07:15] hello [07:15] Hmm.. Half that xdmcp guide isent needed for them i set it up last.. but that was on a ubuntu to ubuntu box.. [07:15] I have a problem with flash 10 [07:15] It won't work right with my webcam [07:15] its amazinghow often the 2 words 'flash and problem' are used in the same sentance. :) [07:15] It worked fine during the betas of flash 10 [07:16] what's the appropriate site to file bug reports for kubuntu/ibex?

I am thinking of going back to ubuntu or tu kubuntu 8.04 what do advice me to do [07:19] thanks [07:19] but, why not uninstall it? [07:19] cameri: because if it's not running, then all it's doing is taking up about 30 megs of space [07:20] cameri: what concerns you about keeping it installed? [07:20] Uninstalling it - can cause otehr annoyingissues. :) [07:20] at leat in the past it has. [07:20] How do I end a process [07:20] dunno, it's the cause of all my nightmares atm [07:20] !how to end a process [07:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:20] !process [07:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about process [07:20] !proccess [07:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about proccess [07:20] everytime i enable effects, my screen goes blank [07:21] or black [07:21] tacosarecool, it may help to just go google :) instead of bot-fishing.. heh [07:21] !task manager [07:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about task manager [07:21] Ok [07:21] tacosarecool: You can do a "killall " [07:21] tacosarecool: in konsole [07:21] tacosarecool, several ways, kill, xkill, killall, or other ways [07:21] ;) [07:21] xkill is fun! [07:21] sudo reboot too! [07:21] tacosarecool: you can also just open up the system monitor, right click the process and kill it that way [07:21] Yea - system monitor.. however ya get to that now... [07:22] dr_willis: lol [07:22] Vista makes is so easy! -- alt-ctrl-delete.. :) how Logicalis that eh! [07:22] :) [07:22] tacosarecool: applications->system->system monitor [07:22] what does ctrl alt backspace actually do? [07:23] cameri: restart X [07:23] ok [07:23] cameri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System [07:24] why is kde 4 slower than kde 3??? [07:25] damn, i'll just try reinstalling it yet again.. [07:25] isaacj87: thanks [07:25] hmm, everytime i click an url it opens thunderbird... [07:25] instead of FF [07:25] envy says that recommended driver is enabled, but it is the ubuntu driver, not fglrx [07:25] cameri: TBH, I don't understand that crap either lol [07:26] does anyone know why kde 4 runs slower than kde3??? I'm really anoyed by this [07:27] uh... nevermind... I'm switching back to ubuntu 8.04 [07:28] same problem as this guy (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975739) [07:29] sooo what good did that do to me? [07:29] PSiL0: I would try asking in #ubuntu [07:30] sezitas: its not optimized yet [07:30] well, it is with a kubuntu livecd [07:30] PSiL0: Does envy not allow you to install the version it detected for your card/chipset? [07:30] or rather all the libraries [07:30] kde3 had many years of elbow grease beyhind it [07:30] remember kde4 is a whole new framework, pretty well from scratch [07:30] PSiL0: I'm pretty sure you can activate the driver unless you install Kubuntu first. [07:30] can'* [07:30] isaac: Envy recommends the ubuntu driver, not fglrx... [07:31] PSiL0: Can't* damn I can't type today [07:31] don't use envy tho [07:31] holymoo: ok so the best option would be to go back to 8.04??? [07:31] lol [07:31] issac: I installed kubuntu two days ago and my ati card activated without a hitch [07:31] once you do removing what you install will be hell [07:31] 8.10 [07:31] PSiL0: Yeah, because you installed Kubuntu. You're trying to activate the driver on the LiveCD. I don't think that works [07:31] sezitas: what problem are you having specifically? i've gotten banned by retards in #ubuntu again so can't follow up there if you are checking in both [07:32] hmm im downloading intrepid-backports/main, that doesnt look good [07:32] isaac., I installed kubuntu and then I activated the card from the prompt after login [07:32] i'm not in both .... [07:32] worked fine two days ago [07:32] sezitas: regardless ... what problem are you trying to solve? [07:32] but nevermind I;m gonna go back to ubuntu 8.04 [07:32] now, I did the same thing after another fresh install, and the activation button just hangs [07:32] easier that way [07:32] thanks anyway === ubuntu is now known as dv === dv is now known as dverge [07:39] hallo [07:44] other than the fact that gvim doesn't actually run at all with the new gtk-oxygen style stuff, once you disable that, has anyone noticed that gvim drawing performance has become annoyingly slow?

[08:10] two [08:10] where d i find the mixer menu [08:10] still I wouldnt think that would cause "low" volume [08:10] Me neither, I am humouring [08:10] Arshad, read what I said [08:10] click ont eh speaker icon in the tray [08:10] lol [08:10] ok [08:11] that should pop up a slider [08:11] carry on rur [08:11] hello, my kubuntu intrepid give black screen(i guess monitor turns off) while i starting to boot the cd, can any1 help me pls [08:11] under the slider there should be a button marked "Mixer" [08:11] Click on "mixer" [08:11] creative please explain [08:12] nope ....... [08:12] Ok, hit ALT+F2 [08:12] then type in "kmix" [08:12] thats run in terminal [08:12] no it isn't [08:12] That is run, not neccessarily in terminal [08:12] kkathman, i downloaded the desktop cd, and if i try to install/boot desktop cd my screen turns off and i dont see anything [08:12] ok [08:13] now, alt+F2 then "kmix" [08:13] A window should popup with a whole bunch of sliders [08:13] error ---- coulsd not open location [08:13] creative, ok, do you know what kind of video card you have in your system?

[08:14] kkathman, thats right [08:15] creative, ok, and does anything come up at bootup? [08:15] ok [08:16] kkathman, yes, the boot options are visible [08:16] sorry Bazhang [08:16] eg. boot livecd, install, boot from hard disk etc. [08:16] creative, ok, so you see the message that its going to boot grub and all that? [08:16] kkathman, yes [08:16] creative, do you see any "splash" at all ?? [08:17] yes, the kubuntu splash for a while in low def. [08:17] res. [08:18] creative, ahh ok, does it switch to a text list of things booting up, or do you just see the splash and then it goes away? [08:18] i see the splash then game over [08:19] i dont see booting text [08:19] creative, then the screen just disappears? [08:19] exactly [08:20] creative, ok.. I think you want to get out of the splash as soon as you see it, then watch the boot messages...try to see where its dying...I imagine there is some difficulty that the install had in configuring your card [08:20] creative, another thing you might try, is re-burning the CD just in case [08:21] kkathman, yeah i thought that too [08:22] kkathman, but i dont understand my card was completely supported in the previous version [08:22] I am not 100% sure on the first install through, but it usually takes the lowest common denominator for a video driver, so I might suspect the CD first...its an easy try to eliminate that === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:23] hi [08:23] kkathman, okay i try that, thanks [08:23] creative, unfortunately, there is a new Xorg out, and older nVidia cards as well as some ATI's aren't supported with their drivers any more [08:24] kkathman, but isnt there a mesa driver for cases like this ? [08:24] but I dont think that should have stopped you, it should have defaulted to some basic driver [08:24] creative, should be... i'e for nvidia it uses nv [08:24] im not sure on ATI [08:25] :( [08:25] too bad [08:26] okay ill re-burn the cd, thanks, bye [08:27] "Bluetooth is currently broken for Kubuntu Intrepid due to a last minute upgrade of the bluez stack.

It seems that after upgrading some packages, something changed, and all the files on my home directory are shown as icons on my desktop. I have many files there, so my desktip is now a completly mess. How may I disable this? [11:33] pdenapo: you didn't upgrade to kde4 did you? [11:33] Hmm... files in /home/USER/Desktop have always shown up as icons for me.. I thought KDE4 did NOT show them by default.. [11:33] no, I didnt upgrade to kde 4 [11:34] Oh wait he said HOME directory Not home/Desktop - Hmm.. [11:34] i would check to see if Desktop became a link to /home/username or somthing similer. [11:35] it fact my Desktop directory seems to have been deleted [11:36] That may be an issue then... [11:36] Wanna **** with me [11:37] 0_o [11:37] What [11:39] Wanna **** with me [11:39] Anyone know how to delete modelines from active xorg sessions or from all via xorg.conf or something? [11:40] If they are in the xorg.conf file you can just edit that file. [11:40] Not sure how to remove them from a 'running x session' [11:40] or if thats even possible [11:40] I put them in there but xorg picks up extra modelines that my lcd doesn't really support, like 800x600@60 and @61hz, but it only properly does 59hz [11:41] Is the desktop switcher icon a widget? + where do i find it? [11:41] anubis: its called Pager, right click->add widgets [11:41] so I set up modelines in there so it'd use 59 hz by default instead of 60hz which causes it to draw partially off screen, but I still get it trying to switch to 60hz once in a while while fullscreening wine apps [11:41] emilsedgh: thx mate [11:43] it really sucks having to load xrandr systray icon or using xrandr from the terminal to get to a proper refresh rate so half my desktop isn't drawing off screen [11:43] You using DVI or VGA connection? [11:43] emilsedgh: mate do u happen to know how to add extra coloms .. can only add extra rows... up to 2... thats it.. [11:43] **** Off [11:43] nope just my lcd in my laptop w/ nvidia drivers [11:44] i need 4 desktops:P [11:44] anubis: right click on pager->Configure Desktops [11:44] emilsedgh: mate i feel stupid lol i went into pager settings:P thx a million. [11:44] You did try the nvidia-settings tool eh? [11:44] anubis: np dude :) [11:45] See your girlfriend nude [11:45] yea I'm a power tweaker so anything I can use I have, but I'm missing something obviously :P [11:46] not in the sense that I use drugs tho... in the sense that I'll open up source code and tweak it if I have to ;) [11:46] OxDeadC0de: yes.. ive never heard of anyong having those kind of issues..i wonder if you are not going about it the wrong way. [11:49] dr_willis I dunno, but I'd guess (wild guess) the invertor or something is what actually gives the available modes to xorg when it asks what's available, and it gives it more than my lcd can actually support perhaps to support other lcd models and I got the cheap one? but I need to disable certain refresh rates at certain frequencies, make sure xorg never tries to use them but keeps the "right(tm)" ones [11:49] I'll try google, should have done that first [11:50] The whole X autoconfiguring itself - stuff - has caused issues in many people :) [11:55] since I already setup the modelines for the proper frequencies in xorg.conf, I disabled edid checking with the nvidia driver, maybe this will disable all the other resolutions all together and I can add anymore I want by hand [11:58] hi all [11:59] a) when i said "upgrade distro", was I notified that i would be forced into kde4, and I don't remember it? [11:59] b) how can I go back to kde 3.5? [12:00] 2) reinstall [12:00] b) reinstall [12:00] :) [12:00] By F***ing your sister [12:00] yeah waterpie: I had the same problem [12:00] * Dr_Willis wonders when the ops will Kick shreedhar [12:01] waterpie: I had to reinstall from scratch [12:01] When Dr. Willis F***s his mother [12:02] when we say "reinstall", we mean reboot, boot with cd, and loose everything (that is not backed up)? [12:03] Thats pretty much the definiton of reisntall to me. [12:04] :) windows users say 'reformat/reinstall' [12:04] or just learn to like kde4. and/or wait for kde3 to get in some PPA repos, or other unofficial repos. [12:05] ppa? [12:05] Unofficial personal repos [12:05] !ppa [12:05] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [12:06] well, that is not quite a "solution", imnsho [12:06] so do whatever you want then.. those are your options. [12:06] forcing kde4, without asking, is terrible. [12:07] waterpie: it's not forcing [12:07] waterpie: this information has been available since last spring [12:07] and been mentioned countless times [12:07] it was summarized here the other day.. KDE3 is basicially reaching its end of lifespan.. [12:08] Tm_T, was i notified while upgrading that i will loose kde3 and will only have kde4? [12:08] waterpie: I believe so, because before upgrading ofcourse you read release notes too? [12:09] well, sorry, but "widely available info" obviously didn't include me. imho, that info belongs to the do you really want to upgrade? window [12:09] Hi! I'm looking for a method to sync my Nokia 6110 Navigator (S60, 3rd) with Kontact. opensync-plugin-kdepim is not installable (bug #278747), so opensync isn't an option, apparently... [12:10] waterpie: that window should have link to release notes atleast [12:10] hi can you help me? i have kde4 adn i can hear no sound [12:10] !sound | zbyszek [12:10] zbyszek: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked.

There is a huge qualitative diff between a) "release notes", ie: we fixed this, we added that, and b) we will totally change your DE, with no going back [12:11] there are no such an options in settings [12:11] waterpie: it wasn't change for everyone [12:12] Tm_T, ok, whatever. From my point of view, I was unaware of it, and I have been hugely disappointed. I'll be looking towards other solutions from now on. [12:12] Thanks everyone for your help.

My graphics card is an internal one,internal. 100 mb memory. | [13:27] Is the graphics card the issue? [13:28] probably, is it nvidia? [13:28] White_Pelican: No, as I said, internal INTEL one. [13:28] Heh...most likely I think that's it, but making sure... [13:29] probably I need a dual core system processor, with an atleast 256 nVidia? - White_Pelican [13:29] * Aelwyn is away: Ausente por el momento [13:29] it's my understanding there are issues with old nvidia cards, so there might be with others [13:30] nvidia nooooooo [13:30] use ATI [13:30] ermm.... [13:30] alright.. [13:30] :P Just trolling (but I prefer ATI anyway) [13:30] But as for the problems I am in atm, it's about my internal graphics card? [13:30] I learned that the hard way ptl [13:30] I mean I can't take advantage of any desktop effect...heh all will run slow. [13:30] and lag [13:31] sounds like the same issue with nvidia [13:31] I'm having troubles figuring out how to manage panels. I'd like to add one to the bottom of my screen, can't figure out how. Also, can I change the hidth of the panels? === mits is now known as mitsarionas [13:31] KDE4 is a bit lacking in panel options.. its slowy gaining features. :) [13:32] dr_willis: I've realized :) But are any of those possible? [13:32] matt____, not a clue.. I dont use kde4 much - other then to play with it. [13:32] the panel is some plasmoid so proberly can have a 2nd.. [13:32] matt____: possible yes, easy no. There is not a configuration dialog for that as far as I know. [13:32] White_Pelican: uh? I see. Well this is the first time I use KDE, KDE 4.1 was a shock for me, having these MAC OS desktop features, dash boards, a slight vista style. It's probably the best Desktop I've ever worked on. [13:32] ptl: So would I have to edit a config file somewhere? [13:33] is there a way to autohide a pannel? [13:33] heh - i recally cant stand OS-X much. :() [13:33] anubis: will be in KDE 4.2 [13:33] matt____: not exactly a config file, but the plasmoid definition parameters... something more involved [13:34] I dosent work how 'i' work :) [13:34] JontheEchidna: what is it atm.. KDE.4.1 right? [13:34] yup [13:34] ptl: Something along the lines of gconf editor for gnome? [13:34] I'm not tro;;ing but I think the kubuntu team should never have included 4.1x in Intrepid [13:34] k [13:34] did anyone have any plasmoids break recently? [13:34] when is that comin out:P [13:35] trolling* [13:35] ? [13:35] White_Pelican: so, KDE 4.1 is not very stable yet I can say? or I'm missing something... [13:35] 4.2 is due out at the end of January [13:35] no you have it right on the nose Reaper [13:35] aha... [13:35] I see ;) [13:35] * JontheEchidna finds 4.1 stable [13:35] we should just wait till KDE 6.92.4.1.1/2 comes out! [13:35] I just need to try it somewhere better. [13:36] dr_willis, huh? [13:36] * dr_willis waits for service pack 1 for KDE 4 [13:37] * White_Pelican would like to try kde 4.1.3 but kubuntu says no because I choose to stick to hardy [13:37] matt____: not exactly... something between a programming header and config files, not easy to explain, better wait to kde 4.2 to do that :) [13:38] White_Pelican: it was good for some, not so good for others, I think. To me, it was awesome. [13:38] ptl: What's the release schedule for that? [13:38] matt____: January, I think, but I don't know the release schedule for Kubuntu. It will surely be in Kubuntu 9.04, though. [13:39] ptl: Ok. But won't we be able to apt-get upgrade for it? [13:39] ptl: are all your plasmoids functioning properly after your 4.1.3 upgrade? [13:39] Has anyone tried amarok beta? [13:39] matt____: sure you will [13:39] ptl: cool. [13:39] ptl, since I have an old nvidia card, (it's considered legacy), using kde 4 requires me to throw software to hardware by having to buy a new video card [13:40] mitsarionas: I don't use that many plasmoids, and the only one I use outside the panel is QuickAccess. [13:40] mitsarionas: but yet, they work perfectly. Shouldn't they? [13:40] White_Pelican: not KDE4's fault, blame nvidia for that, I know the story [13:40] ptl: dunno... notes and show desktop broke for me [13:40] I know, ptl [13:41] but it makes me SOL [13:41] just right after the 4.1.3 upgrade (i think) [13:41] I never use notes, I prefer notecase anyway (I don't use kbasket because where I work I need to export branches to people who use windows) [13:41] let me try show desktop [13:41] it's on my panel [13:41] Works. [13:41] thanx [13:42] On the other hand [13:42] so it wasn't this upgrade... [13:42] I don't have that default plasmoid which shows the desktop on the screen [13:42] I don't even notice when it disappear [13:42] one day it was there. The other, it wasn't. [13:42] but it's weird anyway [13:42] ! [13:43] That's why I added QuickAccess. [13:43] quickaccess broken too here :( [13:44] really? What happens when you run it? [13:45] uh, nevermind, it's working :) [13:45] which tool are you using for translating kde in intrepid ibex? [13:45] Question due i actually have my video graphics working this i am wondering tryed playing a movie in dragon player but comes up no media loaded also saw the nvida x.org binary download should i download this? [13:46] i ask because kbabel does not seem to be in the repository anymore [13:46] it's just that it appeared as a black circle, like the broken plasmoids [13:47] (which are black and only have "remove unknown applet" on their context menu [13:47] Question due i actually have my video graphics working this i am wondering tryed playing a movie in dragon player but comes up no media loaded also saw the nvida x.org binary download should i download this? [13:47] or is it default [13:47] software not hardware graphics [13:48] anyone? [13:48] anyone? yeah can people actually read this? =) [13:48] I hate people with red names.. doesn't alow me to scan through the chat log to find if anyone spoke to me:P [13:49] courtjesterg: it's probably a thing with codecs, try to add the medibuntu repository... follow some guides on the internet for that [13:49] thks [13:56] has anyone noticed weird behavior when right clicking links on firefox?

[14:51]  Dread not int eh repros
[14:51]  can someone in north america post his/her sources.list for intrepid , mine is badly corrupted and needs editing . I'm unable to login to kubuntu due to the fact that kdm and kubuntu-desktop were removed by mistake.
[14:51]  bazhang: how come?
[14:51]  developerNewbie, use sudo -i if you must
[14:52]  oh damn. sorry wrong channel.
[14:52]  Kovert: well, edit/setting.. and what should i configure out input/output stuff? can't get it right..
[14:52]  emma, dont need root for ubuntu; sudo -i for a root shell (limited time)
[14:52]  Tried to remove Kubuntu to go back to ubuntu, by using apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop, but it's had no effect, how do I remove it?
[14:52]  DreadKnight: never wondered about it seems to be based on alsa mixer
[14:52]  !puregnome | Kaya_Saouka
[14:52]  Kaya_Saouka: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome »
[14:53]  Kovert: yeah..
[14:53]  bazhang: I'll make a note of that in case anyone else wants to do it.
[14:53]  Thanks
[14:53]  np
[14:53]  brb
[14:53]  bazhang: I found a computer that someone left to be thrown away so I took it and I've been using it to explore other distros. I put slackware on it, so I found that you can become root in other ways.
[14:54]  emma, that is slackware; many distros use su but ubuntu does not
[14:54]  thanks anyway
[14:54]  ie fedora, suse etc
[14:55]  bazhang: sudo is not distro specific :P
[14:55]  it's just that htere's no entry by default in the sudoers file
[14:55]  bazhang: What's the rationale in case people ask me?
[14:55]  desu, true, though with ubuntu it is the 'ubuntu way' :)
[14:55]  !sudo
[14:55]  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)
[14:55]  emma, ^^
[14:56]  bazhang: yep :)
[14:57]  still no sound is there anything else I can try?
[14:59]  developerNewbie, have you setup kmix yet ...I don't know what you've tried cuz i just got here.
[15:00]  hi i have another seriuos problem
[15:00]  i tried to boot from alternate 8.04
[15:00]  and the installer asks me for a cdrom driver/.....
[15:00]  dr_willis: gald YOU used mythtv :-)
=== CyD__ is now known as CyD
[15:01]  now I can go there and get it working
[15:01]  kmix opens, the volumes are up on pcm and master, nothing is muted, soundcard used to work on linux and still works in windows.
[15:03]  how to mount bluetooth device thanks
[15:03]  developerNewbie: kmix in intrepid seems to be fucking stupid....
[15:03]  :/
[15:03]  amarok: xine was unable to initialise any audio drivers
[15:03]  sound recording used to work for me no headaches...
=== kdab is now known as Saille
[15:04]  bazhang: on the !sudo link it says to not use sudo -i
[15:04]  emma, right
[15:04]  emma, I said only if you must
[15:04]  !noroot
[15:04]  We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[15:04]  So pretty much the official ubuntu policy is always just use sudo
[15:04]  yup
[15:06]  humm.... anyone know why my webcam would work in cheese, but not in skype or Camorama ?
[15:06]  bazhang: if you start a root shell using one of the ways that's not recommended and then, while in # you do su   to become a non-root-user, has the root shell closed?
[15:07]  emma, first exit the root shell
[15:07]  emma, you need to very careful with even sudo -i
[15:07]  or gksudo/kdesu nautilus/konqueror
[15:08]  bazhang: yes I see what happened there. I can see your point.
[15:08]  it can seriously bork your system
[15:08]  bazhang: doing one of the non-recommended ways to gain a # prompt, you now have opened a root shell. Just switching back to your normal user with: su  opens another shell but does not close the root shell.
[15:08]  how do i get to the "services page" as oppsed to the services kde page?
[15:08]  Many people will not realise or remember to exit the shells they have created. I bet.
[15:09]  emma, just dont enable the root account
[15:09]  its much much safer that way
[15:10]  !nvidia
[15:10]  For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:10]  hello
[15:11]  There needs to be a better communication of the rationale for things like this or people who are full of the 'linux spirit' might feel like it's a bit 'do as I say not what you like'
[15:11]  perhaps
[15:11]  but most newer users just want a system that works
[15:11]  Yeah.
[15:11]  the linux spirit folks most likely are older hands who know su
[15:12]  I will try to promote the ideas on the link in !sudo. I am trying to get more people to use ubuntu.
[15:12]  how can i see a list of running services
[15:14]  bazhang: I understand where you are coming from especially since you are coming at it from a support angle, largely to novice users. I have an interest in growing the ubuntu marketshare. That means not only making new users happy but hanging on to them as they learn about the rest of linux.
[15:15]  i did something stupid  (not the 1st time) I am running kubuntu 8.10 kde4 (of course) and i selected and confirmed in sys settings the menu setting for menu shadows etc   what config file does this reside in or how to return default desktop setting for kde4 back to default from command line
[15:15]  Kovert: you can install burn to see whats running
[15:16]  Kovert: uoi lasy dog bum not burn
[15:17]  im considering installing kubuntu inside windows, will that make it run slower than if i installed it regularly?
=== xiasyad is now known as SyriX
[15:17]  SyriX, a bit yes
[15:17]  ahh okay
[15:17]  its more of a demo
[15:18]  the dual boot install is nothing to worry about
[15:18]  but it will still have all the same features right?
[15:18]  SyriX, likely, though a tad slower; not sure about compiz
=== feng is now known as fw0127
[15:18]  bazhang: what about usb ports?
[15:19]  emma, with wubi?
[15:19]  ah koay bazhang
[15:19]  Yeah
[15:19]  should be fine
[15:19]  SyriX, you might want to try virtualbox before you go for wubi
=== sandstorm is now known as sandstorm_
[15:19]  mkay
[15:19]  SyriX, then if you like do the full dual boot install with windows
[15:19]  possibly stupid question, what is the library "kcm_konqhtml" part of?  i got it when looking at the plugins menu
[15:19]  I have had some people tell me that with virtual machines you may not have access to your USB ports.
[15:20]  now the thing is it boots fine   so how do you reset reset system settings back to default from the command line
[15:20]  anyone know how to start mysql
[15:20]  what does it imply when gcc complains "ULONG_MAX undeclared"
[15:20]  ?
[15:20]  emma, that is the vbox-ose in the repos
[15:21]  is it possible (with a regular install) to make windows able to read the kubuntu hdd?
[15:21]  notice in the adept the hardware drivers after you open it up says no hardware drivers are installed is ti broke or am i running  my computer like a mircle
[15:22]  SyriX: afaik you need an ext2 driver
[15:22]  okay, is that easily done?
[15:22]  error says "The shared library kcm_konqhtml was not found"
[15:23]  SyriX: i think the page is www.fs-driver.org
[15:23]  thanks :)
[15:23]  you just run the setup thing...
[15:23]  and assign letters to partitions
[15:24]  i was told at wine to ask how do i config my video graphics been to display
[15:24]  okay, gonna burn the cd now :)
[15:24]  have fun :)
[15:25]  i got this error when i opened up x.org nivida adept:===You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[15:26]  >
[15:28]  courtjesterg: if you're trying to install the nvidia drivers, envy-ng is an easy way to do so
[15:29]  ok i'll search the adept and the net thanks
[15:30]  its not in the adept
[15:30]  Anyone else having problem accessing usb cameras since kde 4.1.3 update? (it worked fine with 4.1.2)
=== Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam
[15:31]  courtjesterg: uh, sorry... it's envyng (without the -)
[15:31]  there's envyng-core and two guis, -gtk and -qt
[15:32]  pucko-: how are you getting the kde4.1.3 update? I don't see any updates and I just did a fresh install of kubuntu intrepid.
[15:33]  emma, I think I got it from the backports repository
[15:33]  Hm. I wonder if I should add that to my sources.list
[15:33]  not if you want to connect an usb camera :)
[15:34]  Wts the command to see my connection details? commands ect..
[15:34]  i mean ip ect
[15:34]  anubis_, connections for what
[15:34]  anubis_: connection details? you mean like ifconfig?
[15:35]  ifconfig
[15:35]  pucko-: just installed cheese, seems quite buggy, though last time i used it was on hardy
[15:35]  yeah thats what i was
[15:35]  thx  :D
[15:35]  no problem
[15:35]  i look the gtk and qt up they talk about file sharing not video cards and such i believe it is my video card when i use wine and the go to instal with the .exe i come to a black screen? SInce i am using wine am i suppose to install the directx drivers and such which would lose all its purpose with not using windows really

[15:38]  Hey probably gonna switch backto kubuntu today, is there a way to get the trunk builds of KDE4.2 installed? Or at least a way to use the Betas when they're ready?
[15:38]  Goggling only finds stuff about Hardy
[15:39]  hello, does someone know why there isn't powerdevil when installing KDE4-neon ?
[15:39]  googling*
[15:39]  HappySmileMan: perhaps adding the backports line to your sources.list
[15:39]  HappySmileMan: no betas released yet
[15:39]  HappySmileMan : Project-Neon ?
[15:39]  seems like some people in here have been able to update to 4.1.3
[15:40]  I know not yet, but when Beta1 is released I'd like to try it, should be released soon
[15:40]  By the end of this month
[15:41]  kubuntu devs always package the betas :)
[15:42]  Do users of Kubuntu have access to newer software than users of Ubuntu?
[15:42]  Ok cool, time to abandon Mandriva and go back to Kubuntu, dunno why but I always hate the package managers on other distros
[15:47]  emma : no, you will have to add the ppa repo to have the beta I guess
[15:48]  Oh wait... There's no NVidia driver for my card yet for Intrepid... Maybe I'll wait
[15:49]  with this Download of Envy which one am i suppose to download i use kubuntu but understand the relationship between ubuntu they have core gtk and qt i sun it off my harddrive
[15:50]  did you find anything regrading power-devil?
[15:51]  !envy | courtjesterg
[15:51]  courtjesterg: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[15:51]  FYI
[15:52]  Hi! anybody fancy help migrate my system from on hdd to another?
[15:53]  i just though it wou;d be easy as copying the data, but f.e as the second hdd is mounted and in /dev it starts copying those files too :)
[15:53]  !cloning | starenka
[15:53]  starenka: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[15:55]  bazhang: well, but it only replicates packages, how about settings (not speaking about /home which i have on other partition)
[16:06]  ohkay 'dd' should be my friend i guess
[16:07]  yeah that is the best option
[16:07]  I keep rereading this, http://openvpn.net/howto.html#redirect - but, I cannot see what I have done wrong with my configs, http://pastebin.com/d509e0c02 connections just are not routing through the VPN by default - any ideas?
[16:15]  !automate
[16:15]  Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning
[16:18]  starenka: if you don't want it copying /dev, boot into a livecd so your filesystem isn't live
[16:18]  my cdrom is broken ;)
[16:18]  in the livecd, you'd again have the option of using gparted to do partition moves starenka
[16:18]  oh .. :)
[16:18]  bummer
[16:18]  well i think mounting / somewhere else as ro
[16:19]  and then copy it with dd ?
[16:19]  what would you say?
[16:20]  starenka: dunno, tricky
[16:20]  oh i cant use dd tho, the partition is not the same size... rsync?
[16:21]  starenka: another quick idea.. get a bootable flash drive
[16:21]  knoppix or such
[16:21]  starenka: you could always dd the entire drive, then resize partitions later with gparted :)
[16:21]  that'd be kinda nice cause you could dd the mbr
[16:22]  yep, but.... the new hdd is partitioned different way
[16:22]  just 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb'
[16:22]  yea, spose.. way different, not just bigger partitions?
[16:22]  you're sure making it difficult on yourself :)
[16:22]  well see
[16:22]  gimme a sec
[16:24]  http://pastebin.com/m2474c8a8
[16:24]  the 1st one is the source one the 2nd one the target one
[16:24]  i got
[16:24]  "/ /home /swap /data"
[16:25]  but the difference is in sizes and also primary / extended things as you see
[16:27]  yea
[16:27]  well, cp -a, omitting things like /dev, is going to be better than dd of course. probly as good as rsync,
[16:28]  the super easiest way would of course be fresh install :)
[16:28]  rly?
[16:28]  imo
[16:28]  i got shitloads of stuff configured different way
[16:28]  moving the data like /home is easy
[16:28]  well at least user configs will be safe in /home
[16:29]  i dunno it really depends of course
[16:29]  yep, but if i omit /dev
[16:29]  will the system then work?
[16:29]  actually i'd try with just coping the whole /
[16:29]  if it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything but ~10 mins
[16:29]  but how about other mounted things and symlinks?
[16:30]  it would copy those too, wouldnt it?
[16:30]  not good then
[16:30]  you'll have to modify your fstab on the new drive and run grub-install like we said yesterday
[16:30]  but i can't think of any other roadblocks
[16:30]  i tried copying /
[16:30]  cp -a?
[16:31]  that preserves permissions, symlinks etc
[16:31]  but i canceled when in started to copy /dev/sda6 which is the new hdd partition :)))
[16:31]  oh heheh :)
[16:31]  when it ;)
[16:31]  sooo
[16:31]  yea again too bad you can't use livecd
[16:31]  :)))
[16:31]  that is really the best way
[16:31]  :(
[16:31]  in what way it would live cd help?
[16:32]  (i can manage to steal my gfriends' cdrom)
[16:32]  starenka: well then you're not worrrying about copying /dev on a running filesystem and such
[16:32]  and running into taht prob of copying /dev/sda6 onto itself :)
[16:32]  basically if i had a livecd i could pack up my /dev/sda1 and unpack it wherever whenever to have my system back
[16:32]  well whats the difference... i need to mount those too on livecd, dont i?
[16:33]  yes, but you won't be copying the livecd filesystem
[16:33]  ooooooh
[16:33]  lol
[16:33]  silly me

[16:51]  but the latest kernel image for some reason doesn't like my network
[16:51]  use GParted
[16:51]  why i dont have games?
[16:51]  ubuntu_: What games?
[16:52]  hello, I would like to set up alt-f1/2/3/4 keyboard shortcut to switch between desktops on kde4, as I used to have previously on kde3. can anybody help?
[16:52]  the games that are in linux..
[16:52]  MarcoPau: Go into your System Settings and choose Keyboard and Mouse. The 3rd tab on the side will help you out with your keyboard shortcuts
[16:52]  I think what happens is that ubuntu is set as the default host name for people's instalations, and so they just retype it for the user name, and then when they click on some irc client and it drops them into 'ubuntu server' it gives them the default nick ubuntu to start with, which is being used, so it goes to ubuntu_
[16:53]  ubuntu_: Did you install the package for the games?
[16:54]  how can i do this:
[16:54]  ubuntu_: what games do you want?
[16:54]  ubuntu_: sudo apt-get install kdegames
[16:54]  thank you draik
[16:54]  what is it?..
[16:54]  MarcoPau: No problem. ;)

[17:17]  Id like to have a serious opinion about the importance of how installing firefox installs gnome libs in kubuntu. Is that something that bothers any one else, should it not bother me?
[17:18]  drauck. did cjeck www before coming here, mind. .)
[17:19]  emma : it installs gnome libs in intrepid o_O ?
[17:19]  emma: Bothers me too
[17:19]  Well I haven't done it, since I'm on Mandriva right now, but iot WILL bother me
[17:19]  http://dot.kde.org/1143137575/1143152383/
[17:19]  firefox-qt
[17:20]  Yeah but that's never gotten in any way usable
[17:20]  Pliskin: yes it does. If you install firefox, by default it will install the recommended packages, and among those are a ton of GNOME libs.
[17:20]  then, the ubuntu MOTOs are definitely evil, or they don't know gnome is not the only existing DE
[17:21]  emma : oh, ok, but you can configure apt to install just the required packages I believe
[17:21]  Pliskin: no let's not go that far. They are good and talented people, seriously don't disparage them, and it's not like every single one of them is in charge of firefox.
[17:21]  yeah, I was wrong
[17:21]  draik: so putting "all_generic_ide=1" in menu.list should fix it?
[17:21]  Pliskin: hardly anyone is going to know about that. How can ubuntu think that the typical user has to use sudo but the same typical user is going to know how to use a man page to find an esoteric option in aptitude?
[17:22]  heret1c: I do not know. That is what I found online. It's answer.
[17:22]  emma : they talk about it in the install page (or the release notes)
[17:22]  it's a linux recomandation
[17:22]  and ubuntu always respect linux conventions
[17:22]  No updates to firefox-qt source in over 2 months :(
[17:22]  (sorry for my english)
[17:23]  But worse, when I did: sudo aptitude -R install firefox, it did install firefox seemingly without so many gnome libs, but it looks funny and then you get gtk errors about how a file is missing, and you get errors from libbonoboui

[17:26]  hi all
[17:26]  i just installed kubuntu 8.10, and i dont have any sound. There is a sound at the login, but it is cut off and nothing is heard anymore. ...? what can i do?
[17:26]  bazhang: the comments on the page you linked to are from 2006 and 2007
[17:27]  emma, is this a support issue?
[17:27]  or more of a chat issue?
[17:28]  bazhang: support issue. How do we get firefox to work in kubuntu without filling our kubuntu with GNOME cruft
[17:28]  emma, ff works fine in kde
[17:28]  bazhang: did you install it yourself?
[17:28]  emma: Well apparently you can build FF from source with experimental QT support
[17:29]  SAomeone could probably package the latest one, but it's probably still really unstable
[17:29]  HappySmileMan : you mean XulRunner was ported or is it the same than before ?
[17:30]  Does kubuntu need libbonoboui-2.so.0 ?
[17:30]  Not sure, as far as I know it's the same as mozilla-qt that was built for testing earlier this year, but hopefully it's a bit more stable since then
[17:30]  no, it's a gtk dep
[17:30]  because now every time i start Firefox there is an error message from that package
[17:31]  but maybe firefox need it
[17:31]  I think maybe KDE should just make their own web browser that works better than FireFox.
[17:31]  Anyway time to go install Kubuntu, bye

[17:38]  lovre: no.
[17:38]  emma: still no sound
[17:38]  lovre: wait for it to finish installing and then I will help you get the w32codecs you need to listen to some audio.
[17:38]  emma: i installed w32codecs...
[17:38]  lovre: do you use a 32 bit or 64 bit .. hm.
[17:38]  emma: 32
[17:39]  So you already got the w32codecs from medibuntu or some other source?
[17:40]  lovre: what audio are you trying to hear? When you open amarok are you able to hear the welcome from Matthias Etrich?

[17:45]  emma: still no sound
[17:47]  does someone have bluetooth running under intrepid?
[17:47]  just upgraded to intrepid, and firefox (actually all GTK apps I think) says: "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries. Aborted". Any ideas? Google doesn't turn up much
[17:47]  hello?
[17:48]  PhilRod: a danger of upgrading. you probably have both qt3 and qt4 installed
[17:48]  rav: indeed I do. I was hoping they'd be put in different places so as not to get in each other's way
[17:49]  emma: i have solved it with help from: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3097945.0
[17:49]  PhilRod: i'd try uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it from intrepid repositories
[17:49]  emma: thank you for your time :)
[17:49]  rav: thanks, I'll try that
[17:49]  PhilRod: I have KDE 3 programs running under KDE4, but I did a fresh intrepid install, and then installed the KDE3 apps
[17:50]  lovre: oh that's great.
[17:50]  emma: thx :D
[17:51]  rav: yeah, kde3 apps run fine (I'm using konversation right now) - I guess it's something with gtk-qt-engine that's causing the issue

[17:56]  The installer for Kubuntu isn't doing anything
[17:57]  It gets to where I select keyboard layout and then does nothing at all, I've waited like 5 minutes

[19:03]  Hi all
[19:03]  OxDeadC0de: but I dont think knetworkmanager has vpn support, I think I´m going to remove the knetworkmanager and use nm-applet in kde
[19:03]  after installing Kubuntu ubuntu8.04 has gone slow
[19:04]  i had changed the settings of the processor settings option provided in the start
[19:04]  any suggestions or help Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[19:05]  nielse there's a kde version of the nm-applet called network-manager-kde , I use that, not knetworkmanager, it's a kde version of the frontend to network manager and it works in kde and gnome just the same as the gnome one
[19:06]  christian_: keytouch does not support the macbook keyboard
[19:06]  yeah, just found out that its network-manager-kde :P, I did not know of it existance, so I assumed it was knetworkmanager I was running
[19:06]  nielse but I had a problem with the gnome version not rendering properly before, which is why I switched, but after upgrading to 4.1.3 I probably don't have that problem now
[19:06]  hi! I'm on 8.10 I followed the steps in the ubuntu wiki but my function keys are still not working. any ideas?
[19:06]  christian_: are you still here
[19:06]  4.1.3 is in the backport right?
[19:06]  yea
[19:07]  I think I´m going to try that one too, can you recommend it?
[19:07]  well, honestly, plasma crashed on me a couple times in 4.1.3 (automatically restarted itself but still annoying), and it didn't in 4.1.2, but some other little bugs are gone I guess
[19:08]  I put icons on my taskbar and kde4 doesn't save them - if I restart, they're all gone.  am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
[19:08]  systray being one, it works - still has problems if you move it around or detach it from the panel tho
[19:08]  how did you restart trappist? did you logout properly?
[19:08]  OxDeadC0de: no, just rebooted from the command line, is that the problem?
[19:09]  #kubuntu-fr
[19:09]  if you don't loggout properly things won't get the "shutdown" signal in the way they want to in order to save their settings

[19:19]  trappist I just installed ndiswrapper, installed the win32 driver version of b43 (Have problems with b43 and performance), then started network manager, setup my connection - in the last screen up connection setup it has an "autoconnect" checkbox

[20:47]  RenzoreK: i dont know on my computer i found that by default flash was niced to 3 or something and if i set it to 1 it was much more responive, there are also some problems with ati cards that i ran into
[20:48]  Rioting_pacifist: Ill try that real quick, I have nvidia (which sometimes seems even worse) the two major brand of cards and neither work well in Linux
[20:48]  join #kde
[20:48]  this works http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
[20:48]  pulaski: who?
[20:49]  i need info on how to runa php file please
[20:49]  RenzoreK: well the problems seam to be with the binary drivers, but with nvidia i used to find if i added enough crap to xorg.conf it seamed to work fine (was 2/3 years ago tho)
[20:50]  fiyawerx: That's me I forgot the slash. I'm looking for noatun info?
[20:50]  Rioting_pacifist: I cant complain because It works somewhat decent, not as bad as others, but for an 8600GT i was expecting it to run smoothly. At least it did before I made the move to linux lol

[21:23]  Just add that to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst

[22:02]  we rebooted under a new os and the wireless button doesnt respond
[22:02]  it says its enabled in the bios
[22:03]  but then the software doesnt pick it up
[22:03]  I don't remember what I did maybe disable network manager then enable
[22:04]  But on laptop I just installed ubuntu but plan on install kubuntu
[22:04]  i kubuntu better than ubuntu
[22:05]  kubuntu is easier i think and comes with better features

[22:06]  can someone tell me any good rss reader for karamba ?
[22:06]  what os you running

[22:15]  bets me i haven't gotten to my usb drivers yet
[22:15]  they don't work
[22:15]  because it was working then i rebooted using ubuntu then the wireless didnt work anymore
[22:16]  but i upgraded to the kde version of ubuntu and now the graphic chip works but the wireless still wont come on when i press the button to come on

[22:20]  not sure they fixed all the bugs out of it yet
[22:20]  aand the game won't go ack!
[22:20]  Does anyone have this problem?
[22:21]  henrik you should just go back to the kubuntu 8.04.1
[22:21]  Hi, im new with kubuntu, have always used ubuntu and im a little lost
[22:21]  that works better than the new version
[22:21]  yeah when i pull the corner of a say browser and expand some times i got the envy graphic driver for nivivda installed
[22:21]  court just take off the wine
[22:21]  Bugger, I like the new versio ;)
[22:21]  and use a generic version
[22:21]  no wine is working fine
[22:21]  thats good
[22:22]  i was able to install the exe file
[22:22]  ive had problems with it before
[22:22]  after it uploads
[22:22]  could anybody explain me how to keep things like the applet for power managment and for the ethernet for loading a startup???
[22:22]  ytaggs what are you lost in
[22:22]  There's a bunch of web pages that aren't displaying right in kde4
[22:23]  hello guys. please recomend bittornet client for kubuntu 8.10
[22:23]  go to adept manager and download superkaramba for now till you learn more on pluging in stuf ytaggs
[22:23]  its jsut you go to the web site to lauch the site then click agree and opens to save another file or open either way its a php file that going down and wine doesn't have anything to do with php files so its a lancher of which i don't know what to do usually opens the game
[22:23]  ok...i'll check tank u...kde seems to be odd
[22:23]  shurik you should have something called ktorrent under internet settings
[22:23]  ktorrent works fine for me
[22:23]  Transmission or wine utorrent
[22:24]  transmition crash few time
[22:24]  ktorrent works really good with ark
[22:24]  check your settings
[22:24]  what about deluge?
[22:24]  yeah thsi imap for kamil doesn't work when trying to retrive your mail from gmail
[22:24]  its still trying
[22:24]  in gnome i always used deluge
[22:24]  ytaggs yeah at first it does but once you play with it youll get the hang of it
[22:24]  check out kde-look.org also
[22:25]  thats a tricky one
[22:26]  which one do you have thunderbird
[22:26]  ok, thanks. And what about svn-client
[22:26]  gui svn-client -)
[22:26]  not sure on that one
[22:28]  if your new to kde i recommend you go to kde-look.org and check your adept manager if you need any programs
[22:28]  ok could someone please help me i dont want knetwork manager to launch each time i enter kubuntu...i hate having unnecesary thins on the system tray
[22:29]  ??
[22:29]  go to adept manager in system and type in knetwork then right click and remove then apply
[22:30]  then it should disappear out your life forever
[22:30]  ahh ok thank i
[22:30]  hehehe sorry im new to kde
[22:30]  but make sure you have a network device running or it wont work later
[22:30]  and you need it to use adept manager
[22:30]  how?
[22:31]  i mean if i close it i still have internet
[22:31]  do you have a network device on it already
[22:31]  besides that one
[22:31]  i dont know
[22:31]  what do u mean?
[22:31]  did you do a full upgrade to kubuntu
[22:32]  or just a partial
[22:32]  i formated and installed kubuntu
[22:32]  did you do a full partition
[22:32]  one swap one root and one home
[22:32]  or half kubuntu half ubuntu
[22:32]  only kubuntu
[22:32]  ok then you need knetwork unless you download anothe network device
[22:33]  otherwise you wont get wireless
[22:33]  ok, but i dont want it on the sistem tray
[22:33]  or any other online thing also
[22:33]  i dont have wireless

[22:38]  they are still working the bugs on the 4
[22:38]  yeah i think it is more stable
[22:38]  it is and its easier
[22:38]  Because i'm new and already had a few apps crash on me
[22:38]  kde 4 is kind of confusing

[22:39]  because its like that

[22:39]  KDE4 is nothing like mac it is more like vista
[22:40]  Yeah
[22:40]  i dont think....dont know i really like gnome, just wanted to give a try to kde and because never really liked  kde 3 so i tried 4

[22:48]  thats your best bet
[22:48]  then
[22:48]  Ubuntu
[22:48]  the o that
[22:48]  do that

[22:49]  50% of partioning??
[22:49]  I can't exactly do that cuz I gotta lot of stuff on Ubuntu
[22:49]  use the live cd

[22:54]  no
[22:54]  alanz
[22:54]  no u have to install it
[22:54]  How do i install/enable them?
[22:54]  kubuntu restricted extras...
[22:54]  Oh
[22:54]  go to synaptic
[22:54]  thanks
[22:54]  u r welcome
[22:54]  package manager
[22:55]  Uh guys is there a way to keep Ubuntu or Kubuntu without a password?
[22:55]  ytaggs so you know anything about wireless buttons not working or turning on
[22:55]  not really blender
[22:55]  It's the only annoying thing about all Ubuntu distros
[22:55]  nop...but u can do autologin
[22:55]  auto login?
[22:55]  believe me its better with a password
[22:56]  It's a family computer
[22:56]  and it's a desktop
[22:56]  it remembers your password so you dont have to do it again
[22:56]  How do I do auto login?
[22:56]  yeah u can do that so when u torn on the computer it automatically enter in the os without asking the password
[22:56]  in kubuntu??
[22:56]  if you want to you can go into the admin part and add users
[22:56]  or ubuntu?
[22:56]  Ok so i used Adept,and searched for Java,Theres a handful of them,Which one i choose?
[22:56]  so they dont have to worry
[22:57]  look for firefox or mozilla plugin
[22:57]  opps thats for konqueror huh
[22:57]  just search for kubuntu restricted extras or restricted content
[22:57]  Actually, considering the odds, I've seen that one user is like 7x faster than 7 users
[22:57]  Anyone setup network manger to work with Verizon usb727?  I not finding anything on google but the hardware gets found so it looks like it is a mater of getting knetworkmanger to recognize it is there.
[22:57]  nah kmail is working fine with imap i never expanded the folder for gmail wow 3000 spams in that folder ;0
[22:57]  yeah than do that
[22:57]  One user is much faster, it's like that on Ubuntu and my Mac
[22:58]  you can download the java directly from adobe now i've been wondering about a shockwave program of sorts
[22:58]  * andylockran|lapt is away: Gone away for now
[22:58]  blender u want to do autologin in kubu o ubunto?
[22:58]  i use the password so no one can change admin stuff
[22:59]  or root folders
[22:59]  * andylockran|lapt is back.
[22:59]  ditch konqueror and download the firefox
[22:59]  oh forget it. I'll just leave it. :( It's such a pain
[22:59]  it works better
[22:59]  Ok I gtg.
[23:00]  i don't like using firefox anymore
[23:00]  why is that
[23:00]  wasusing that in windows
[23:00]  thats different than using it here
[23:00]  windows sucks anyways
[23:00]  blender
[23:00]  its really easy
[23:00]  is it i was using thunderbird too
[23:00]  he left ytaggs
[23:00]  ooh
[23:01]  i want to stick it out with the browser that it ccame with
[23:01]   Ed Fella
[23:01]  oops
[23:01]  start developing this even more when i get settled down
[23:01]  i like that browser for when im downloading stuff
[23:01]  but i wuse firefox for surfing  the internet

[23:09]  hello
[23:09]  Flash and kde4 don't work well together
[23:09]  they dont
[23:09]  Like some pages don't display right
[23:09]  what are you using to display them
[23:10]  can anyone recommend a good kde twitter/identi.ca poster ?
[23:10]  * HappySmileMan is building mozilla-qt
[23:10]  Flash player 10
[23:10]  Yeah
[23:10]  Twhirl
[23:10]  on kde
[23:10]  Get the adobe air beta
[23:10]  Then get twhirl
[23:10]  you have wine
[23:10]  No theres a adobe air beta for linux
[23:10]  Works well
[23:11]  tacosarecool: is that straight off the adobe site?
[23:11]  Yep
[23:11]  how can I use console8x16 in konsole 2.1 from kde 4.1.3 ? I activated bitmap fonts in fontconfig (can see the console8x16 in kcontrol) but I can select it in konsole
[23:11]  Or google
[23:11]  Then you will find the link
[23:11]  link it up
[23:12]  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/linux/
[23:14]  http://www.twhirl.org/project/twhirl
[23:14]  no way.. the twhirl website installs adobe air for me on linux.. using flash
[23:16]  You must be on a windows version of flash then?
[23:16]  tacosarecool: flashplugin-nonfree I think
[23:16]  Or you can just use flash player 10
[23:16]  On synaptic
[23:16]  Or
[23:17]  You can install manually
[23:17]  If you want flock to have flash
[23:17]  Is it not horribly insecure that flash is allowed to install programs?
[23:17]  It's not
[23:17]  I think andy is lieing flash can't get abobe air on linux yet
[23:17]  nope.. it started
[23:17]  and failed :p
[23:18]  Ok
[23:18]  see
[23:18]  You have to get air manually
[23:18]  yep its manual for me too
[23:18]  No it did offer to install it, but then it fails
[23:18]  gotta get the bin file and place it
[23:18]  Meaning it's probably allowe dinstall software on some platforms or something?
[23:18]  right click it
[23:18]  mine downloaded
[23:18]  And then give it perm to execute
[23:18]  permission
[23:19]  thats easy

[23:24]  That's all
[23:24]  through terminal
[23:26]  can i get a wireless troubleshooting person
[23:26]  anyone
[23:26]  good at troubleshooting wireless problems
[23:26]  What is your issue
=== solid_li` is now known as solid_liq
[23:26]  theres like ten million people in here and no one knows wireless
[23:26]  why not just ask you questio nand see who answers
[23:27]  i try to turn the wireless on manually and it doesnt turn on anymore
[23:27]  the bios is good
[23:27]  Is it on when they computer is first turned on?
[23:27]  the software is there
[23:27]  but does not manually turn on anymore
[23:28]  happened after i rebooted a new os in
[23:28]  guess no one can help me on that
[23:28]  Wait
[23:28]  I need some help with xorg and my synaptics touchpad
[23:29]  thats the toughest question i swear
[23:29]  Intrepid has an issue where network manager will not turn on a new wireless device that wasn't on and recognized when the computer was started.
[23:29]  The laptop is the wireless toggled on
[23:29]  Does anyone know what package I need to install so knetworkmanager can configuire a dailup connection?
[23:29]  i try to turn it on but the light doesnt come on
[23:29]  earth how do you solve that problem
[23:29]  thats kind of what happened
[23:30]  You can't, (unless you wan't to mess with kernel level stuff).
[23:30]  Xorg sees that I have a synaptics touchpad, but there is no synaptics section in my xorg
[23:30]  do you know how
[23:30]  Just make sure the device is on when the laptop is turned on.
[23:30]  Just adding someone else's synaptics section didn't work
[23:30]  i know how to get into it i just need command prompts
[23:30]  it wont even turn on
[23:31]  i tried the bios i tried the software i tried rebooting and all the times same problem
[23:32]  i even tried reloading the official product software
[23:32]  and that didnt even want to load
[23:32]  if i throw windows back on it boots me out
[23:33]  can you solve this problem i go to reboot windows os and the computer boots me out before configuring
[23:33]  when it prompts to set the settings
[23:34]  anyone know that problem
[23:34]  so earth you dont know what how i can configure the kernel so it works the right way
[23:35]  or at least a way to start it all over again so everything works properly
[23:36]  should i delet all partitions then reboot to bios an see if i cant turn the wireless on there or should i try safe mode and see if it comes on in there and see if it will work
[23:36]  the toggle doesnt work so im not sure how to recreate that
[23:36]  or restart it
[23:41]  hi, how can I configure the mouse to one single click for gnome programs?
[23:42]  Goooodddd morninggg guyzzz
[23:43]  Anyone out there?

[23:44]  hello
[23:44]  ilham: For ex. Firefox save dialogs, quot libet..
[23:44]  !hi
[23:44]  Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[23:44]  The state of mozilla-qt seems pretty weird, all the QT code seems to be written but there's a few really obvious things not defined, like no-one added CAIRO_SURFACE_TYPE_QPAINTER to the enum in cairo.h
[23:45]  So It appears that all the hard stuff is done but it needs to be messed around with before it compiles
[23:45]  anyone know how to turn on the toggle for a wireless when it the light doesnt work through the program files
[23:47]  zir-rt: Sorry no idea
[23:47]  errr .. can someone help me with my display resolution pls?
[23:47]  ilham: thanks anyway :)
[23:49]  !shoutcast
[23:49]  Sorry, I don't know anything about shoutcast
[23:53]  why can a C program, finishs in a message of 'segmentation fail' sometimes, and sometimes everything works with no problem? Could be a problem in the memory reserved to a process?
[23:57]  But why aren't some pages displaying properly
[23:57]  Is it just kde4?
[23:57]  I have Kubuntu and Firefox 3.x but cannot get the Kodak plugin/extension to work
[23:57]  the login just hangs... (with FireFox 2.x also)
[23:57]  any ideas?
[23:57]  Wait till you get to stickam some stuff won't display right
[23:58]  Latest firefox from source has Theory and Vorbis plugins bbuilt in... Does Firefox 3 have these or are they new to 3.1?
[23:59]  Any ideas I'll send you a pic
