| jennifer | I'm looking at something on The Linux foundataion. It mentions something about Lenmark 9500 drivers | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| genii | jennifer: Yes, thats what I just stated. | 00:01 |
| jennifer | oh lol sorry. So if i just install that driver, my printer will work | 00:02 |
| genii | jennifer: Hopefully. But Lexmark printers generally are not linux-friendly, so your mileage may vary | 00:03 |
| alexei | why vim does not save/restore the cursosr position in a file on subsequent edits in Intrepid? I used to like it so much ... | 00:03 |
| jennifer | how would i go about doing that | 00:03 |
| jennifer | just go to the website and download it then hoop my printer up | 00:04 |
| genii | jennifer: First try under System Settings...Printers to add it | 00:04 |
| jennifer | i already did; it said it was added but when I went to print something out; it gave me an error saying it couldnt print the file | 00:05 |
| genii | jennifer: Did you have it plugged in/powered on when you did that? | 00:07 |
| jennifer | yeah | 00:07 |
| genii | jennifer: So you set it up as: local printer with driver: Lexmark 9500 and are using CUPS as the printing system? | 00:10 |
| jennifer | i dont think so; i mean i am very new to Linux | 00:10 |
| jennifer | i'm trying to figure out how to add a printer; its a USB hook up | 00:11 |
| jennifer | the drivers that came with it is only for Windows OS's | 00:11 |
| genii | jennifer: Yes, you will not have any use for the driver cd, since it is only Windows drivers on that. | 00:12 |
| uber_noober | have u checked to see if linux supports it? | 00:12 |
| jennifer | ive heard a few things; someone said it doesnt then i hear once i get a driver for it | 00:12 |
| genii | jennifer: I suggest to return to System Settings...Printers. And to remove or delete the printer entry which exists now for it. Then "Add a Printer/Class" tell it Local Printer. When asked for driver Go to Lexmark and chose if there 9500 series | 00:13 |
| genii | uber_noober: It uses the Lexmark 9500 which should be a driver for it in the printing subsystem without installing anything | 00:14 |
| ImLiz | hey all, anyone know if I download gparted iso if it will work with kubuntu 6.06? Or can I download it in the live cd of 8.04? | 00:15 |
| genii | ImLiz: The gparted cd is independent of any operating system | 00:15 |
| uber_noober | genii: sweet, so all u do is add it in http://localhost:631 | 00:15 |
| genii | uber_noober: Hopefully. | 00:16 |
| ImLiz | genii: oh cool, so once copied to a cd, all I have to do is put it in the cd-rom right? | 00:17 |
| jennifer | how do i remove a printer | 00:17 |
| genii | ImLiz: Yes, and boot to it | 00:17 |
| genii | jennifer: PRinter.. Remove | 00:18 |
| ImLiz | genii: ok, thanks :) | 00:18 |
| uber_noober | that's how i added my Brother printer, although kubuntu recognized it when i plugged it in as hl-1440 | 00:18 |
| genii | jennifer: (when you have the one to remove selected) | 00:18 |

| uber_noober | genii: do u know if the installation cd lets u select to install grub on root partition? | 00:22 |
| ImLiz | Also, anyone familiar with virtualbox??? | 00:22 |
| genii | uber_noober: I'm not sure if the gparted cd had grub on it. If so, then yes | 00:23 |
| uber_noober | no i mean i want to install ubuntu on my laptop but i don't want it to install grub on the mbr. i want it to isntall grub on its own root partition, but it doesn' give me an option | 00:24 |
| genii | uber_noober: If you install grub to a subpartition instead of master boot record of a drive, it overwrites partitioning info and the partition becoes unbootable | 00:25 |
| uber_noober | i already have grub installed on its own partition and mbr, i'm trying to chainload ubuntu so i need to install grub for ubuntu during installation not on the mbr but on the root partition of sda3 where ubuntu is to be isntalled | 00:26 |
| genii | uber_noober: If you have some bootloader on the master boot record of the first drive which boots, you can install grub for instance to mbr of drive2 then chainload it. But if you install grub for nstance to sdb1 or sdb2 or such instead of sdb then it corrupts the partition header info and the system can't figure out what type of filesystem is on the partition | 00:28 |
| genii | uber_noober: You can test this easily enough by making a swap partition, install grub to it, then do after an fdisk -l for that partition. It won't show as swap anymore, the grub install messes it up | 00:29 |
| uber_noober | genii: linux allows u to install it's own bootloader either in mbr or its root partition | 00:30 |
| uber_noober | so there is no conflict there | 00:30 |
| uber_noober | that's because the boot loader can be installed first then the linux system | 00:31 |
| brenno | hey | 00:32 |
| uber_noober | in short yes you can place a bootloader on individual root partitions - i am running slack 12.2 and debian etch | 00:32 |
| brenno | how do i install the libc library, most preferably version 6 | 00:32 |
| uber_noober | they both allow me to install a bootloader, but ubuntu doesn't, hence my problem | 00:32 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Belue | ||
| genii | uber_noober: You can have whatever bootloader you like on the main mbr of first booting drive and whatever other bootloaders you like on the beginning of any other drive you like and chainload them this way. But as I said, easy to test how it corrupts an individual subpartition info. | 00:33 |
| genii | uber_noober: You can shift to cli on install cd and do manual grub-install if you like to whatever drive you like | 00:34 |
| uber_noober | brenno: glibc | 00:34 |
| brenno | uber_noober: from adept? | 00:34 |
| uber_noober | genii: or sudo apt-get install glibc-2.6-1 | 00:35 |
| uber_noober | i'm assuming u only need the GNU C lib right? | 00:35 |
| brenno | ya | 00:35 |
| genii | brenno: See above message to me by uber_noober for the cli to install your libc | 00:35 |
| brenno | got it | 00:36 |
| brenno | thanks | 00:36 |

| uber_noober | genii: thanks man, i think i'll check out the alternate install cd | 00:36 |
| genii | !info libc6 | 00:37 |
| ubottu | libc6 (source: glibc): GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7 (intrepid), package size 4262 kB, installed size 10552 kB | 00:37 |
| genii | brenno: sudo apt-get install libc6 | 00:37 |
| uber_noober | sorry, genii is right | 00:37 |
| uber_noober | it's called libc6 | 00:38 |
| genii | brenno: Although since is in class of "required" should already have it | 00:38 |
| brenno | i already had it | 00:38 |
| brenno | :( | 00:38 |
| uber_noober | to see if a package is installed use: sudo aptitude show <package> | 00:38 |
| genii | brenno: If you are compiling stuff which needs it, use the -dev package. So libc6-dev | 00:39 |

| orzel | hello. i just installed kubuntu 8.10 to a friend. Which is great, beautiful (kde4.1!) and all. I'm just surprised that the version of openoffice shipped is that old (2.x).. Is that normal ? is there a list of packages/version on the net ? i can't seem to be able to find it. | 00:54 |
| JontheEchidna | orzel: That is normal. OpenOffice 3.0 was released only a week or so before Either Kubuntu or Ubuntu were released | 01:09 |
| JontheEchidna | so there was not enough time to incorporate it into Kubuntu or Ubuntu 8.10 | 01:09 |

| brenno | tell me as personal experience | 02:07 |
| brenno | hows wine for that | 02:07 |
| eppan | grate | 02:07 |
| brenno | really? | 02:08 |
| eppan | but it depends in your hardware i guess | 02:08 |
| brenno | hmm | 02:08 |
| eppan | i have nv8400m card | 02:08 |
| nate_ | genii: is there an easy way to upgrade? | 02:09 |
| eppan | the bigest problem i have had with wine is the patchers....need an old patcher for AO | 02:10 |
| genii | nate_: For intermediate releases like 6.10 you have to upgrade through all the other intermediate releases until you get to a long-term-support release. So... no | 02:11 |
| genii | nate_: You should just download an 8.04 CD and install from there, will be less bandwidth in the end | 02:12 |
| nate_ | genii: Can i reuse my home and swap? | 02:13 |
| nate_ | and such: | 02:13 |
| nate_ | ? | 02:13 |
| genii | nate_: Yes | 02:13 |
| genii | nate_: (if they are on separate partitions) | 02:13 |
| nate_ | genii: will i have to manually get all new programs and codecs? | 02:17 |
| genii | nate_: You can get a list of all your currently installed things, and then later apply them to a new blank install | 02:18 |
| genii | !clone | 02:18 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:18 |
| genii | Hmm. There is also : sudo dpkg --get-selections >> mylist then later on the new box: sudo dpkg --set-selections < mylist | 02:19 |
| eppan | keep in mind that some packages migt not be awail in new install | 02:20 |
| genii | Yes, you need to have same sort of repositories as before like medibuntu or wine repos, etc etc | 02:21 |
| nate_ | so.... mylist is stored somewhere and on the new machine i would enable all repositories and run ........mylist and bada-bing!? | 02:23 |
| genii | nate_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-169062.html shows how to use the --get-selections and --set-selections way (which is usually how I do this) | 02:24 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu_hola | ||
| genii | nate_: The "mylist" is just a list of your installed packages, not an executable file. You insertt it to dpkg with the --set-selections in order to tell it to use these things as an install list. then to do the dselect as shown in the thread to make it install the list | 02:26 |
| radlipat | hi genii nice to see you again | 02:26 |
| Daviey | genii: you know --disable-columns only works in >Jaunty? | 02:26 |
| genii | Daviey: No, but it looked weird, that is why I recommend the previous --get-selections/--set-selections | 02:27 |
| * genii hands radlipat a coffee | 02:27 | |
| * radlipat takes coffee | 02:27 | |
| nate_ | thanks again, ill check it out | 02:27 |
| Daviey | genii: apparently --get-selections/--set-selections misses some stuff, but then it's always seemed to !wfm | 02:27 |
| genii | nate_: np. Otherwise you're stuck with 6.10->7.04->7.10->8.04 route :/ | 02:28 |
| genii | Daviey: I imagine it might miss some stuff if it was installed by way of tasksel or so | 02:29 |
| eppan | 6.10>7.04>7.10....troute might be the safer option.... | 02:29 |
| Daviey | genii: pass | 02:31 |
| Daviey | genii: I would imagine, if it missed anything it would be because of meta packages.. but: | 02:31 |
| Daviey | dave@sabre:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep ubuntu-desktop | 02:31 |
| Daviey | kubuntu-desktopinstall | 02:31 |
| Daviey | so.. i guess it's not that. | 02:31 |
| nate_ | how do i check the version? | 02:32 |
| Daviey | $ lsb_release -r | 02:33 |
| Daviey | nate_: or --all for the full info | 02:33 |
| nate_ | im on 7.04 | 02:33 |
| Daviey | nate_: 7.04 has reached it's end of life, so you won't get any more updates | 02:34 |
| radlipat | why is off topic down? | 02:37 |
| Daviey | nate_: Therefore, you should really upgrade - the upgrade path isn't tested for jumping from 7.04 to either the latest long term support, or the latest release. Therefore you either need to upgrade to 7.10->8.04 and stop to stick to the long term version, or jump to 8.10 for the latest release | 02:37 |

| dr_willis | Ashex, make a proper entry for the drive in the /etc/fstab file and it wont do that.. Its because the system is asking for the admin type sudo password to do a system type task | 02:44 |

| |DS| | only has a "mass storage device" but when I disconnect it it doesn't go away so it;s not that I don't think | 02:51 |
| Ashex | dr_willis, I'm using 8.10. It just has an option to enable write support | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | Ashex, no idea then.. it had 2 check box's here. one for internal, one for external, and write supports... I would say check the forums. they may clarify the fix | 02:52 |

| mister-tea | I just buikt this box and installed kubuntu but during package fix it says 0 broken 0 fixed | 03:20 |
| genii | patrick_farrelly: According to the info you also gave in #ubuntu it is saying cannot start X because readonly filesystem. At prompt what does: df -h say is filesystem % full? | 03:20 |
| patrick_farrelly | my / is 35% | 03:21 |
| patrick_farrelly | all other drives are less than that | 03:21 |
| patrick_farrelly | *dev/sda1 = 35% | 03:21 |
| genii | patrick_farrelly: OK. Have you done a boot to recovery and fsck the drives? | 03:21 |
| patrick_farrelly | fsck shows all clear | 03:21 |
| patrick_farrelly | journal entries are fine | 03:22 |
| patrick_farrelly | i am not sure what i did | 03:22 |
| patrick_farrelly | i only shut down picking "save the system in ram" | 03:22 |
| genii | Probably were using swap space when you did that | 03:22 |
| patrick_farrelly | then x went nuts, but i kinda expected it, it happened all the time in debian | 03:22 |
| mister-tea | i'm wondering if I have something wrong in grub/ the menu.lst is very short ...one page | 03:22 |
| patrick_farrelly | hmm... let me try remounting the / drive | 03:23 |
| patrick_farrelly | that should fix read-only, right? | 03:23 |
| genii | patrick_farrelly: Can you manually: sudo mount -a -o remount,rw | 03:23 |
| patrick_farrelly | ok... fixed... i did something similar | 03:24 |
| patrick_farrelly | i did sudo mount -n -o remount / | 03:24 |
| patrick_farrelly | thanks | 03:24 |
| mister-tea | shold my bios be set to large dick acces mode other or dos. also should plug and play os be enabled? | 03:24 |
| genii | mister-tea: pnp on, and "other" | 03:25 |
| mister-tea | k thanks | 03:25 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: What errors? | 03:26 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: Installation or BT mouse? | 03:26 |
| mister-tea | when I shut down I get a red warning message that flashes too fast to read can I slow it down or is it in a log somewhere? | 03:27 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: In Kub 8.04 I am not clear on the procedure how to connect my BT mouse.... | 03:27 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: On another computer, I am having trouble installing Kub 8.10 | 03:27 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: Or rather, it installes fine, but starting up in it is a problem | 03:28 |
| DaSkreech | Installation | 03:29 |
| dustin | I feel like an idiot I cant figure out how to run a .run file on kubuntu 8.10 | 03:29 |
| DaSkreech | dustin: ./file.run | 03:29 |
| genii | dustin: If in same dir: ./file.run | 03:30 |
| dustin | ok I will try that in terminal | 03:30 |
| * genii hands DaSkreech a cookie | 03:30 | |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: I am not sure yet but it says I have sda, sdb, sdc and sdd. It seems only sdc and sdd have harddisks physically attached. I set grub to install on sdc, since I think sda and sdb are raid drives which I do not have. | 03:30 |
| mister-tea | anything on my shutdown question? | 03:30 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Umm ok lets take from the top :) | 03:31 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: Not on the SATA bus anyway. I do have a separate pci card which does have a PATA raid. | 03:31 |
| DaSkreech | How many drives are in the computer ? | 03:31 |
| tuxwulf | 4 | 03:31 |
| genii | mister-tea: Depends what is causing the red screen, ubuntu generally doesn't have any of those (that I've seen) | 03:31 |
| mister-tea | red letters | 03:31 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: 4 | 03:32 |
| mister-tea | is there a shutdown log? | 03:32 |
| genii | mister-tea: Try to hit Pause key when it happens | 03:32 |
| mister-tea | k thanks again gotta go fix my bios | 03:32 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: how many are in raid ? | 03:33 |
| dustin | new question how do I set my root password so that I can run root terminal :S | 03:34 |
| genii | mister-tea: Perhaps /var/log/faillog | 03:34 |
| dustin | using kubuntu 8.10 | 03:34 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: BIOS says SATA1 and SATA2 have HDs attached. Not in raid. SATA3 and SATA4 do not have drives attached. I set SATA1 as the boot drive. I disabled the on-board raid controller. | 03:34 |
| genii | dustin: Ubuntu is designed to use sudo and never have an enabled root account. So we will likely not help you with that | 03:35 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: There is a separate pci raid controller with a 2 -disk stripe raid attached. | 03:35 |
| dustin | so anything I need to run in root can be run in sudo? | 03:35 |
| genii | dustin: Yes | 03:35 |
| dustin | ty | 03:35 |
| genii | dustin: np | 03:36 |
| DaSkreech | oh | 03:36 |
| DaSkreech | ok fine | 03:36 |
| DaSkreech | so what happens on boot up? | 03:36 |
| genii | tuxwulf: Did you use a Wubi install onto the raid? | 03:36 |
| dustin | genii: it returned "command not found" | 03:37 |
| dustin | genii: so what command do I need to run a .run? | 03:38 |
| genii | dustin: You don't put just "sudo" by itself. You put: sudo name-of-a-command-line-command | 03:38 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: The Kub installer lists sda ~ sdd, but SATA1 = sdc and SATA2 = sdd; sda and sdb show empty, no disks attached. I manually partition sdc/SATA1 for kub 8.10. I install grub on sdc (which seems to be hd(2), not hd(0)). | 03:38 |

| downhillgames | dustin: chmod +x ./atiblajhblahblah | 03:38 |
| downhillgames | then try it | 03:38 |
| tuxwulf | genii > No, I don't even know what that is. It only serves as a data drive (ntfs). | 03:39 |
| genii | dustin: So the file you are trying to run is not located in the directory which you are trying to execute it in | 03:39 |
| pirky | is it easy to remove kde from a kubuntu installation and run gnome instead? | 03:39 |
| dustin | file is there | 03:39 |
| genii | dustin: Also that file needs to be run with specific other arguments in it (the ati installer) | 03:39 |
| downhillgames | yeah, gotta chmod +x it | 03:39 |
| downhillgames | +x means "set the executable flag to yes" | 03:39 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: After kub install and reboot, it mentions 'invalid device /dev/UUID= blahbahblah', and falls to an initrams shell. | 03:40 |
| downhillgames | you can do the same by right clicking the file, clicking Properties and checking the box or whatever in the Permissions tab | 03:40 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: I startup a live CD and confirm the dev UUID is correct. | 03:40 |
| dustin | genii: what other arguments should I look for to install this package? | 03:40 |
| genii | dustin: See http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Manual_Install_Method | 03:40 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Oh I know that :) | 03:40 |
| downhillgames | lol nevermind. | 03:40 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Count to 5 and type exit | 03:41 |
| genii | dustin: If you have Intrepid and not Hardy, substitute the names accordingly | 03:41 |
| DaSkreech | The controller is initiallizing the device slower than the kernel and grub are moving | 03:41 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: ... eh ...? That sounds interesting.... | 03:41 |
| DaSkreech | It had me wonky for a day or two as well | 03:41 |
| tuxwulf | ....aaaah.... | 03:41 |
| tuxwulf | I see! | 03:41 |
| aanderse | how do i install plasma theme i got from inet? | 03:41 |
| tuxwulf | Is there a way to do that automatically...? | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Tell grub to take longer to boot up I guess | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | Idid some stuff in my bios after a while that fixed it | 03:42 |
| tuxwulf | DaSkreech: goood tips! Thanks, I will try that when I get back to that pc... | 03:43 |
| DaSkreech | sure | 03:44 |
| dustin | genii: perfect info thank you so much | 03:45 |
| genii | dustin: You're welcome | 03:45 |

| pirky | can you just remove kde and install gnome from a kubuntu installation | 03:49 |
| radlipat | my taskbar disapeared can someone help? | 03:49 |
| genii | !puregnome | pirky | 03:50 |
| ubottu | pirky: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » | 03:50 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | radlipat: You can add it back in widgets | 03:50 |
| radlipat | how? | 03:50 |
| genii | pirky: If you mean that lighter-coloured blue area, thats not some separate box but a part of the background pic | 03:50 |
| pirky | genii: yes | 03:51 |
| pirky | its the lighter area | 03:51 |
| genii | pirky: It's part of the backgound picture which just looks somewhat like it is part of another area or so | 03:51 |
| genii | pirky: It's not | 03:52 |
| radlipat | CoJaBo-Eee: how i do that? | 03:52 |
| pirky | no its a part of the background pic | 03:52 |
| genii | pirky: Yes, it is just part of the entire picture they are using as the default background. | 03:53 |
| pirky | ubottu: is this a more complete removal http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:54 |
| pirky | genii: i should be able to change it then | 03:54 |
| genii | pirky: Choose a different background picture you like better and will disappear | 03:54 |
| radlipat | hello CoJaBo-Eee???????????????/ | 03:55 |
| pirky | thanks for help here is the next pic.... | 03:56 |
| aanderse | so does anyone know how i can install a new plasma theme i got from kde-look.org? | 03:56 |
| radlipat | how i open widgets?????????anyone??????????/ | 03:56 |
| DaSkreech | parthbakshi: It says Amarok2:1.4.1 | 03:56 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: Your taskbar disappaears often :) | 03:56 |
| pirky | genii: http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot1jv3.jpg | 03:57 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | radlipat: Icon is on top right on mine. | 03:57 |
| tuxwulf | Perhaps it crawled to the ceiling...? | 03:57 |
| tuxwulf | I mean there is abutton to make it roll up to the top of the screen, I saw... | 03:57 |
| pirky | changed background to blank color | 03:57 |
| radlipat | i dont see it | 03:57 |
| pirky | still got damn blue box | 03:58 |
| radlipat | when i right click i get the list that should be in my kmenu | 03:58 |
| genii | pirky: Hm. If you move the mouse up to top of screen or to the far right, does it move the entire screen ? | 03:59 |
| pirky | This new KDE seems to difficult to learn, the installing plasmoids is confusing with the yellow stars and minus signs confusing me | 03:59 |
| genii | pirky: (and expose more of that) | 03:59 |
| radlipat | any ideas?????? | 03:59 |
| pirky | genii: no | 03:59 |
| parthbakshi | ok got it | 04:00 |
| genii | pirky: It looks like your video card is leaving what is called "relics" or "artifacts" on your screen. | 04:01 |
| pirky | genii: that makes sense, got a pretty good lapy though | 04:01 |
| pirky | genii you think i am a good candidate to remove kde and try gnome | 04:01 |
| pirky | ? | 04:01 |
| genii | pirky: I'm not sure it will help if the problem is the video card, since they both use the same drivers underneath | 04:02 |
| pirky | you gonna be on here for a while? | 04:02 |
| pirky | i might try it am jump back in here later | 04:02 |
| genii | pirky: You could put in Gnome alongside of your current kubuntu by installing ubuntu-desktop and choosing Gnome at login | 04:03 |
| pirky | genii: i will do that | 04:03 |
| pirky | brb | 04:03 |
| genii | pirky: I'll be active another hour or so, but after that I'm /away | 04:03 |
| pirky | genii: installing.....thanks for the help...i love the ubuntu community | 04:04 |
| genii | pirky: Video card issues are not my particular strong point in debugging, but there may be someone else who around who can assist if that is what the issue turns out to be | 04:05 |
| pirky | genii: you think that since i am running 4.2 beta that it might be the cause of the video card issue | 04:06 |
| genii | pirky: Possibly. But more likely the underlying driver which it is using | 04:07 |
| tkstka | hmm can someone here help me because compiz-fusion people are very quiet :D | 04:07 |
| DaSkreech | nVidia? | 04:07 |
| pirky | DaSkreech: yes i have nvidia | 04:12 |
| NoNick34234 | hi all | 04:12 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah that would cause some issues | 04:12 |
| radlipat | they should be able to help you nonick | 04:13 |
| NoNick34234 | my monitor goes to sleep after 10 minutes, and i can't seem to stop it. i tried any settings i saw in control panel, and even killed the power management processes | 04:13 |

| === nicholas is now known as Guest32428 | ||
| DaSkreech | pirky: no clue but nVidia actually mentioned KDE in the last driver beta release because of how wonky the drivers acted in KDE4 | 04:14 |
| tanner_ | does anyone know if kde 4.2 will have a universal menubar like the 3.5 had | 04:14 |
| tanner_ | or will i have to wait some more | 04:14 |
| pirky | as if i didn't have enough problems having Broadcom grrrr | 04:14 |
| Eyestaples | 10 years later and im back to irc chat. | 04:15 |
| DaSkreech | pirky: This is a much easier fix | 04:16 |
| Cainus | hey all... I recently rebooted my kubuntu box and now it won't let me log in through the graphical interface... I can only get in through "console login" ... can anyone tell me what I need to look at first to fix this? | 04:16 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | I think my Kubuntu install is messed up bad :/ | 04:18 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Nothing seems to be updating anymore, Dolphin crashes on every file operation, and now wine is broken. | 04:19 |
| DaSkreech | tanner_: I don't know of a plan for that | 04:19 |
| sorset1 | hi, can i mount ntfs with konqueror in 8.10 ? | 04:19 |
| MrInternet | awww, kate freezes when the terminal beeps | 04:19 |
| DaSkreech | tanner_: was that a Kwin implementation ? | 04:20 |
| radlipat | u sill here | 04:20 |

| radlipat | who was helping me with my taskbar? | 04:21 |
| radlipat | i opened run program and comp crashed | 04:22 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | radlipat: Did you try restarting? | 04:22 |
| radlipat | just did | 04:23 |
| radlipat | he told me to type something into alt f2 | 04:23 |
| radlipat | like behavior or something | 04:23 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Is there a widgets icon in the top right corner? | 04:23 |
| radlipat | nope | 04:24 |
| radlipat | oh his name was nonick | 04:25 |

| Eyestaples | anyone know why can render a jpg for the topface of my cube but not the bottom? | 04:30 |
| Eyestaples | I* | 04:30 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Compiz? | 04:31 |
| Eyestaples | yes | 04:31 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | The setting is in several different places, you have to find the one that allows top and bottom. | 04:32 |
| Eyestaples | on the other hand. this has been my first issue and i think it's a wonderfull OS i cant belive i've ran winblows for so long | 04:32 |
| Eyestaples | exelent tyvm. | 04:32 |
| DaSkreech | #compiz | 04:33 |

| Colonel_Panic | hehe | 04:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | Have you guys seen that HeliOS blog entry about the school teacher? | 04:36 |
| DaSkreech | That's pretty damn funny | 04:37 |
| genii | Colonel_Panic: -offtopic :) | 04:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | he's backpedaling as fast as his little legs will carry him | 04:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | is offtopic discussion not allowed here? | 04:38 |

| Colonel_Panic | aaah I see | 04:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | ok my apologies | 04:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | is there any activity in there now? | 04:40 |

| cze | hi all, in 8.10 I switched kwin's rendering mode for 3D effects and now I cannot login. How can I reset the setting? | 04:53 |
| DaSkreech | cze: ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc | 04:54 |
| cze | i think this is the change i did: GLMode=Fallback | 04:55 |
| cze | would you know what is the default value? | 04:56 |
| cze | daskreech | 04:57 |
| DaSkreech | cze: Hmm? You changed that to make it start failing? | 05:00 |
| cze | daskreech, did I? I switched it in UI to that. I just wanted to try all I think three values to try performance | 05:02 |

| leigh | i just installed kubuntu and when trying to run terminal commands nothing happens | 05:08 |
| leigh | i try sudo apt-get install and it asks for the password, but than nothing happens | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | cze: What did you turn off in the UI ? | 05:08 |
| leigh | i didn't turn anything off | 05:09 |
| leigh | nm | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: what are you installing? | 05:09 |
| leigh | im trying to update xorg.conf...so im trying to install gksu | 05:09 |
| cze | daskreech, I changed render mode to fallback, since then x server only restarts after i login | 05:10 |
| leigh | i also tried to open dolphin as root from terminal and again it asks for password, but than opens nothing | 05:10 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: you have Kdesudo | 05:11 |
| cze | daskreech, dont you know what is the default value for GLMode in kwinrc? | 05:11 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: You don't need gksu | 05:11 |
| DaSkreech | cze: Ha ha ok quick fix mv ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc to somewhere else then login | 05:12 |
| DaSkreech | !kdesudo | leigh | 05:12 |
| ubottu | leigh: In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 05:12 |
| cze | daskreech, ok thank you | 05:12 |
| leigh | yea that makes sense...I'm use to ubuntu...but now i tried that and same thing...it asks for password than goes right back to a prompt | 05:13 |
| leigh | i've tried a couple other random commands and i get no errors it just goes right back to a prompt | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: what did you type in ? | 05:13 |
| leigh | like it opens and than closes immediately | 05:13 |
| leigh | kdesudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:13 |
| compilerwriter | has anyone managed to get a magicjack to work with kubuntu? | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: you probably don't have gedit installed try kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | What's a magicjack | 05:15 |
| radlipat | whats magicjack????????? | 05:15 |
| leigh | DaSkreech: same thing happens, asks for password than just goes back to prompt | 05:16 |
| leigh | i just installed, so my password is still nothing...could that be the problem? | 05:16 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: Mebbe | 05:16 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: set a password with passwd at the prompt | 05:17 |
| DaSkreech | Stepping outside to the dogs let me know what the result is when you get one | 05:18 |
| radlipat | kewl i got shockwave working now clubpenguin here i come | 05:20 |
| leigh | wow I feel really stupid...there was a password set...figured it out and now it works | 05:20 |

| DaSkreech | nope never tried | 05:35 |
| qcjn | hi. I've seen that i can use, or install kde desktop easyly, in ubuntu, while i'm using gnome now. And i like to see how i like it. But would it affect compiz-fusion if i change to kde desktop ? | 05:39 |
| radlipat | <robertMB> I acidently deleted the networkmanager Icon from the panel how do I get it back or change which access point to connect to? | 05:44 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Hmm ? | 05:44 |
| radlipat | from channel xubuntu i dont know do any of you? | 05:44 |
| DaSkreech | what do you mean? | 05:44 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: Right click the panel and add it back | 05:45 |
| radlipat | he said its not there when i suggestd that | 05:45 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: i'm on Ubuntu, using gnome..i got compiz.. secondly, i've seen that i can easily from ubuntu switch to gnome. But will it "damage" compiz-fusion, will i have problem coming back to gnome..I just want to see for now ? | 05:47 |
| qcjn | switch to kde desktop i mean | 05:48 |
| qcjn | https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html | 05:48 |
| eppan | qcjn: try a live cd then maybe? | 05:48 |
| qcjn | would be less risky ! | 05:49 |
| qcjn | it's just live cd are fun, sometime so much slower, so you don't really get the feel of it | 05:50 |
| eppan | i used to run ubuntu with compiz for a long time, but i liked kubuntu to much to go back to that | 05:50 |
| eppan | true, the cd is very slow | 05:51 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: no | 05:51 |
| DaSkreech | Nothing will harm anything | 05:51 |
| qcjn | ok, thanks, so i can try it...yes sir ! :) | 05:52 |
| qcjn | eppan: waht particularity do you like about using kubuntu ? | 05:52 |
| eppan | it kinda just have what i want in the right places :) | 05:53 |
| radlipat | night all im hitting the hey | 05:54 |
| * radlipat drinks last bit of coffee | 05:54 | |
| qcjn | if i install kde desktop, will it give,s me the feeling of kubuntu, or only of kde desktop | 05:54 |
| DaSkreech | It will be more vanilla type KDE | 05:56 |
| DaSkreech | But with the code changes that Kubuntu has made | 05:56 |
| qcjn | excuse me but i don't understand, so it doesn't really tell me anything ! | 05:57 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Ubuntu is a customized version of Gnome | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | Kubuntu is a customized version of KDE | 05:58 |
| qcjn | ah yes ! if i change to kde desktop, will compiz-fusion still be working ? | 05:58 |
| qcjn | ok | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | For the most part that means things like the wallpapers and what applications are installed etc | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | But some of it is changes in the actual code like Kubuntu takes out the Go! menu in Konqueror | 05:59 |
| DaSkreech | Even if you install he KDE package the code changes remain | 05:59 |
| DaSkreech | but all the other changes will be more KDE default than Kubuntu choices | 05:59 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: If you want but it would be off by default | 06:00 |
| qcjn | ok | 06:00 |
| DaSkreech | You would have kwin which provides a lot of what Compiz does | 06:00 |
| qcjn | i'm trying it right now | 06:00 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 06:00 |
| DaSkreech | !hi | 06:00 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 06:01 |
| silv3r_m00n | can i make the filename appear to the right of the file icon in konqueror ? | 06:01 |
| Psi-Jack | When I installed the arts package, it didn't include the arts binary. Why is that? | 06:01 |
| DaSkreech | silv3r_m00n: not that I know of | 06:03 |
| silv3r_m00n | DaSkreech: what does that mean ? | 06:03 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyone? | 06:03 |
| DaSkreech | silv3r_m00n: You want the name of the file to the right of the icon without it being in column view ? | 06:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | DaSkreech: now it is below the file icon | 06:04 |
| macjason0607 | help http://paste.ubuntu.com/86005/ | 06:04 |
| DaSkreech | Arts is dead? | 06:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | i want it to the right | 06:04 |
| Psi-Jack | I just installed Ubuntu a couple days ago, and did an apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get KDE. I'm not using ALSA+PulseAudio, because that combination has /always/ sucked for me, so I got the GPL'd OSS 4.1 sources and installed them, but I notice arts is a dummy package, and doesn't actually have the arts binary. | 06:04 |
| DaSkreech | silv3r_m00n: Without being in column mode ? | 06:04 |
| qcjn | it's installing lots of stuff | 06:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | DaSkreech: yes | 06:07 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: :-) | 06:07 |
| DaSkreech | silv3r_m00n: Where have you seen that? And why is Column mode not good enough ? | 06:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | DaSkreech: i saw that in windows xp | 06:10 |
| qcjn | now it,s configuration of kdm..my computer is in french, so i ll try to translate..now it's at "defautl graphic session handler" gdm or kdm...would be kdm ? | 06:10 |
| DaSkreech | Hmm I'll have to try that but I've never seen it before | 06:10 |
| DaSkreech | Column mode would get that effect I suppose | 06:10 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Sure doesn't make a huge difference | 06:11 |
| qcjn | could you suggest me something, cause i don't have a clue ? | 06:11 |
| qcjn | now it's on gdm, by default..but can move it to kdm | 06:12 |
| DaSkreech | go to kdm | 06:12 |
| qcjn | back in terminal, dowloading things | 06:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | UGH | 06:14 |
| Psi-Jack | No help, eh? | 06:14 |
| DaSkreech | Psi-Jack: Sorry come back when more people are awake | 06:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm having a problem. I started to upgrade to Intrepid using Adept, but I keep getting the error about being unable to upgrade some packages because they couldn't be downloaded or installing them would break dependencies. | 06:15 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah, not sure how many people actually use OSS, over ALSA, but .. Bleh. | 06:15 |
| Psi-Jack | ALSA gives me /too/ much crap to support it. | 06:16 |
| Psi-Jack | But this movement to ALSA+PulseAudio, is pissing me off, literally. | 06:16 |
| zorael | Psi; Why would you want arts? And yeah, OSS banzai :3 | 06:16 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm going to have to make a Live CD and just reinstall, aren't I? | 06:16 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: Didn't think it would download so much stuff..Feel's like it's downloading a whole system :) | 06:16 |
| zorael | Using a non-portable sound system is what's deprecated | 06:16 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: So KDE uses it's own sound server to shell out only one audio stream for all KDE-based apps? | 06:16 |
| zorael | (ALSA) | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | It is a whole system :) A desktop System :) | 06:17 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Are we talking KDE3 or 4? | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: No how did you upgrade ? | 06:17 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: OSS is portable, that's kinda the point. But otherwise, I'm using KDE4 | 06:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | Adept Manager | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | Then you don't need arts at all | 06:18 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: I did an Ubuntu 8.10 install and installed kubuntu-desktop. Followed: http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/UbuntuHelp:OpenSound#Special_Instructions_for_Ubuntu_8.10_.28intrepid.29 | 06:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | It gets about 10% of the way ingo the installation process, and then I get that error | 06:18 |
| Psi-Jack | And installed OSS 4.1 GPL from source. | 06:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | *into* | 06:18 |
| qcjn | ok finish dowloading..be back | 06:19 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: I was agreeing with you; people fling FUD at OSSv4 calling it deprecated. Nevermind. Anyway; | 06:19 |
| Psi-Jack | hehe | 06:19 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: KDE4 has Phonon to interface with ALSA, Pulse, OSS, or whatever system you pick, as far as I'm aware | 06:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah. OSSv4 is pretty nice, so far. At LEAST it fracking works. | 06:19 |
| Flyboarder | Hello, I am new to kubuntu and i was wondering how to install i have a install cd but all it does when i go install kubuntu is run some lines of code then stop and do nothing | 06:19 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael:.... Phonon? | 06:19 |
| Colonel_Panic | I just tried kdesu kate and it said it Could not run the specified command | 06:20 |
| Colonel_Panic | WTF? | 06:20 |
| eppan | ksudo maybe? | 06:20 |
| Flyboarder | any help on install? | 06:21 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: According to a dpkg -L phonon, that's also got no actual binary. | 06:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | Why can't anything ever just work without necessitating 3 days worth of bullshit? | 06:21 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: whats the error? | 06:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | I can't use kdesu | 06:21 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: I don't know to what extent it's implemented yet, but it's supposedly the KDE 4 multimedia framework; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon_(KDE) | 06:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm going to have to just doiwnload and burn a live cd and reinstall kubuintu | 06:22 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: You shouldn't _need_ to install anything extra, even if you installed kubuntu-desktop atop another installation | 06:22 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: What install CD? | 06:22 |
| eppan | i only have kdesudo no kdesu | 06:22 |
| DaSkreech | Live? | 06:22 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: Hmm. but when I go into... | 06:22 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: I meant the package error | 06:22 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Can't you pick OSSv4 under System Settings -> Multimedia? | 06:22 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: System Settings | 06:22 |
| Flyboarder | Kubuntu 8.10 that i got off of kubuntu.org | 06:23 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: Then Sound, no, all hardware is greyed out. | 06:23 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: I've found the server upgrade helps a lot | 06:23 |
| Colonel_Panic | I tried upgrading twice now, but it throws this error, something like "Could not finish installing packages, either some packaged failed to download or installation would break dependencies | 06:23 |
| Colonel_Panic | something like that | 06:23 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: Kubunto 8.10 off of the kubuntu website | 06:24 |
| Colonel_Panic | then Adept exits | 06:24 |
| Colonel_Panic | leaving my installatkion half-done and broken | 06:24 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: Ok do you get a desktop ? | 06:24 |
| DaSkreech | !upgrade | 06:24 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:24 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: On that page try the server upgrade | 06:24 |
| Colonel_Panic | what's a server upgrade? | 06:25 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: yes i am installing on my other computer, or trying to. | 06:25 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Hmm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound#System%20Sounds%20on%20KDE%204.x | 06:25 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Install the KDE Phonon GStreamer backend: | 06:25 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: They have steps for an Ubuntu upgrade a Kubuntu upgrade and a server upgrade | 06:25 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: sudo apt-get install -y phonon-backend-gstreamer | 06:25 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: It's installed. | 06:25 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Oh. | 06:25 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: Alright let me know if you need anything | 06:26 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: well it wont install | 06:26 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: This is after you get the desktop and click on Install ? | 06:26 |
| Colonel_Panic | I don't see that | 06:26 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: yes | 06:26 |
| Colonel_Panic | the server upgrade appears to be for Ubuntu | 06:26 |
| Colonel_Panic | not Kubuntu | 06:26 |
| DaSkreech | Does the installer show up atall | 06:26 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael: Here's the funny thing. Sound DOES work. :) | 06:27 |
| zorael | zorael: Well then! | 06:27 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: er. | 06:27 |
| Psi-Jack | kmix doesn't work completely, but it works.. | 06:27 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: from 8.04 to 8.10 correct ? | 06:27 |
| Colonel_Panic | I can't do this anyway, because I can't run kdesudo | 06:27 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: I think kmix interfaces directly with alsa and not through Phonon, so you'd need to use ossmixer | 06:27 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah | 06:27 |
| Colonel_Panic | that's what I'm trying to do | 06:27 |
| DaSkreech | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) | 06:27 |
| Psi-Jack | zorael, Right.. Kinda learned that. kmix works for the master volume at least, just not for setting things like the capture source and stuff. | 06:28 |
| Colonel_Panic | butI'm running Kubuntu | 06:28 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: didn't change the look of the desktop, but it looks like it has different app | 06:28 |
| DaSkreech | Oh pffft | 06:28 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: That URL ^^^ | 06:28 |
| Colonel_Panic | Not Ubuntu | 06:28 |
| qcjn | compiz works | 06:28 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: The installer showes some lines of code then says "end trace" and does nothing after that | 06:28 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: You logged in ? | 06:28 |
| qcjn | yep | 06:28 |
| qcjn | had to restart the computer | 06:28 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: Hmm can you run a Disk integrity check ? | 06:28 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: The wiki entry touches upon that as well, I see. So yeah, missing feature. | 06:28 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Ha not really but ok | 06:29 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: Can't suggest more than to supplement kmix with ossmixer | 06:29 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Log out and press alt+T you will get a listing choose KDE then login again | 06:29 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: the disk checks out | 06:29 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: To get back here open Konversation | 06:29 |
| zorael | Psi-Jack: though the last time I tried the latter my eyes bled. | 06:29 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: is there a guide for install? | 06:29 |
| Colonel_Panic | Synaptic won't start | 06:29 |
| qcjn | i tryed without restarting it, but since i didn't see no difference, i restarted it | 06:29 |
| DaSkreech | :-) | 06:30 |
| qcjn | ow i m whit xchat, i ll look for kopete | 06:30 |
| Colonel_Panic | the menu link to Synaptic does nothing | 06:30 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: There is an option on the login screen for sessions. Click that and choose KDE | 06:30 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: you have to logout though | 06:30 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: That's kinda strange. You may have to use an alternate CD | 06:31 |
| qcjn | there wasn't no options,...that's what i tought i would do | 06:31 |
| Colonel_Panic | I cannot follow this guide. It won't work | 06:31 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades | 06:31 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: this is my thrid cd. | 06:31 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: There is a link to Ubuntu servers on that page | 06:31 |
| DaSkreech | That's what you want to follow | 06:31 |
| qcjn | be back ...try with kopete | 06:31 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: Well did you check the MD5 sum for the ISO ? | 06:32 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech:?????? | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | !md5 | 06:32 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:32 |
| Colonel_Panic | I cannot follow thaT TUTORIAL | 06:32 |
| zorael | Isn't KDE 4.2 beta 2 due today? | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Why not? | 06:32 |
| zorael | At least according to the wikipedia entry | 06:32 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 06:33 |
| Colonel_Panic | because I don't have that menu | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: You are reading the wrong part there is no menu in that section | 06:33 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: do i need ubuntu installed first? | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: no | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | But your computer seems fussy at the least. | 06:33 |
| Colonel_Panic | why do you keep posting the links to the same 2 pages? I told you it dopesn' | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | If you have tested the md5 sum and checked the disk integrity then you may want to try the alternate installer CD | 06:34 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: the page doesn't open ? | 06:34 |
| Colonel_Panic | yes the page opens | 06:35 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: will kubuntu install in VPC? | 06:35 |
| DaSkreech | Right there is a small menu on the right side | 06:35 |
| DaSkreech | With 1 2 then an indented 1 nd 2 | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | Click on the indented 2 entry | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | Follow that | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm doing a apt-get -f install | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: Yes easily | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Ok if you get an error can you pastebin it? | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | I will | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | I seem to remember having issues when I upgraded to Hardy | 06:36 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech well that is what i am currently trying and it does the same thing | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | Or... I mean Gutsy' | 06:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | ]wait, no it was Hardy | 06:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah | 06:37 |
| DaSkreech | :-) | 06:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | I had to reinstall from a LiveCD | 06:37 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: Doesnt seem to install in VPC at all for me. | 06:37 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: does it give you an error? | 06:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | had to re-set up all my desktop settings all over again] | 06:37 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Oh dear. you don't have a /home parititon ? | 06:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | wow this is a lot of crap it's installing | 06:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | yes I do | 06:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | of course I do | 06:38 |
| === maquina7 is now known as MusiCrazY | ||
| DaSkreech | Why would you have to setup your settings again then? | 06:38 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Hi | 06:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | I have no idea | 06:38 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: hi | 06:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | it changed my desktop | 06:38 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: kopete looks good | 06:39 |
| DaSkreech | Hi _2 | 06:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | I hope KDE4 isn't gong to cause me a lot of headaches | 06:39 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Alright you are still with compiz ? | 06:39 |
| _2 | DaSkreech | 06:39 |
| Mamarok | huhu DaSkreech :) | 06:39 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Depends on what you expect | 06:39 |
| DaSkreech | Hi Mamarok | 06:39 |
| zorael | Am I the only one for whom panels cover fullscreen applications, in the 4.2 beta? | 06:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | I expect it to fucking work | 06:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | that's all | 06:39 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: it runs some lines with code like this: c04ab93d then the last line says end trace | 06:40 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: yes, still got compiz | 06:40 |
| DaSkreech | zorael: You can click on the cashew and tell it not to cover applications in the more settings button | 06:40 |
| Riddell | ahem | 06:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | I expect to not have a ton of problems with all my applications and stuff | 06:40 |
| DaSkreech | Hi Riddell are you following Flyboarder's plight ? | 06:40 |
| Mamarok | huhu Riddell :) | 06:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK it's done fixing the deps | 06:40 |
| DaSkreech | !ohmy | Colonel_Panic | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Colonel_Panic: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | Uh oh sorry | 06:40 |
| zorael | DaSkreech: Well, the normal behaviour is to have it limit the desktop area (acting as a normal activity bar), *yet* allow fullscreen applications to cover the whole screen | 06:41 |
| Colonel_Panic | I figured nobody'd care at this hour | 06:41 |
| Riddell | DaSkreech: I'm afraid I'm not | 06:41 |
| Colonel_Panic | then again, I guess it's not the middle of the night everywhjere in the world | 06:41 |
| Riddell | abend Mamarok | 06:41 |
| zorael | DaSkreech: As it is right now, it does limit the desktop area so the panel is visible with *maximized* windows, yet fullscreen windows go beneath it, leaving it visible atop. | 06:41 |
| Mamarok | morgen :) | 06:41 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: But one funny thing , like i told you, my desktop, looks the same..Could it be because i've installed a theme desktop, so it keeps it ? | 06:41 |
| DaSkreech | Riddell: On I think three machines the install app starts then spits out a backtrace and dies | 06:41 |
| zorael | DaSkreech: like, fullscreened Firefoxes, fullscreened media players, etc. | 06:41 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Good observation :) | 06:42 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: I think that you are still in Gnome :) did you logout and click on sessions as I asked ? | 06:42 |
| Colonel_Panic | Uh... I can't use kdesu | 06:42 |
| Mamarok | Colonel_Panic: try kdesudo | 06:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | so I can't open the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 06:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | kdesudo doesn't work either | 06:43 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: like i've told you, thats what i wanted to do, but i didn't have this option | 06:43 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: You shouldn't need to with the instructions I gave you | 06:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | oh... wait it just did | 06:43 |
| _2 | Colonel_Panic are you the primary user ? (admin) ? | 06:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | I have to edit the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file | 06:43 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Press alt+T it will pop up the menu even if it's hidden | 06:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | oh, ok it says prompt=normal | 06:44 |
| Colonel_Panic | ok | 06:44 |
| Colonel_Panic | here goes... sudo do-release-upgrade | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | Colonel_Panic: Ah sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades should work | 06:44 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: in the login "when it open's" | 06:44 |
| Colonel_Panic | I was all set to use vi | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | _2: Botched upgrade | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Hmm ? | 06:44 |
| Colonel_Panic | "botched"? | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | Well you said it stopped part way | 06:45 |
| DaSkreech | that's botched | 06:45 |
| _2 | DaSkreech so is sudoers broken or is it just the kde specific app ? | 06:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | it appeared to do that, yes | 06:45 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: What settings should i use for VPC? "Other"???? | 06:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | sudo works for me | 06:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | kdesu doesn't | 06:45 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: ok | 06:45 |
| _2 | Colonel_Panic & DaSkreech ok. ^ | 06:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | is this the way it's going to be with Intrepid? | 06:45 |
| DaSkreech | Riddell: have half a moment? | 06:46 |
| Colonel_Panic | no more kdesu? | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | Unless _2 wants to attack it ? :) | 06:46 |
| eppan | Colonel_Panic: have you tried kdesudo? | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: what do you mean "when it open's" ? | 06:46 |
| Riddell | DaSkreech: the install app? adept? | 06:46 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah it worked to open kate | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | Argh | 06:46 |
| Mamarok | Colonel_Panic: default is kdesudo | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | Riddell: Ubiquity | 06:46 |
| _2 | DaSkreech on. just going to offer support for sudo if that was the issue. | 06:47 |
| * Mamarok needs a coffee first | 06:47 | |
| Colonel_Panic | OK it appears the upgrade is happening | 06:47 |
| Colonel_Panic | it's unpacking all my stuff now | 06:47 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'll check back periodically to let you guys know hoiw it's going, or if I get any problems | 06:48 |

| RandyCalifornia | lol | 06:50 |
| RandyCalifornia | and I wanted to install wine, | 06:50 |
| Flyboarder | _2: yes | 06:50 |
| RandyCalifornia | but it says that it is missing, or obsolete | 06:50 |
| RandyCalifornia | (APT-GET) | 06:50 |
| _2 | Flyboarder not a memory shortage is it ? | 06:50 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: ok, it worked, it was there, lower left | 06:50 |
| Flyboarder | _@ how much does it need? | 06:51 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: :) | 06:51 |
| DaSkreech | Looks different now ? | 06:51 |
| RandyCalifornia | ? | 06:51 |
| qcjn | yes | 06:51 |
| Flyboarder | _2: how much does it need? | 06:51 |
| _2 | Flyboarder if you have more than half a gig you have plenty | 06:51 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: compiz don't work anymore | 06:51 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: You are on Hardy? | 06:51 |
| qcjn | doesn't matter for now....yes hardy | 06:51 |
| _2 | Flyboarder 256m minumum i think now | 06:51 |
| Flyboarder | _2: trying to install in VPC, and yes i have a full gig in there | 06:51 |
| _2 | Flyboarder hmmm | 06:52 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: ok open a terminal and type compiz --replace to get it back | 06:52 |
| qcjn | ok | 06:52 |
| RandyCalifornia | I like Californication..... | 06:52 |
| Flyboarder | _2: i get a line at the bottom of a bunch or other that says end trace | 06:52 |
| _2 | Flyboarder open a konsole and enter ubiquity | 06:52 |
| Flyboarder | _2: how? | 06:52 |
| Flyboarder | _2: if it wont install how do i open console? | 06:53 |
| _2 | kmenu > system > konsole | 06:53 |
| RandyCalifornia | or press F2 and write "konsole" | 06:53 |
| Flyboarder | _2: on CD? | 06:53 |
| _2 | Flyboarder yes | 06:53 |
| _2 | Flyboarder or are we chasing our tails here, does the live cd boot in that env ? | 06:54 |
| _2 | if the live CD is not booted it's no wonder that ubiquity wont run... | 06:54 |
| Riddell | DaSkreech: from which CD version? | 06:54 |
| Flyboarder | _2: live cd boots and loads menu then when i press install it says 'end trace' | 06:55 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: No didn'T work, says Checking for Xgl: not present. & Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators Starting gtk-window-decorator | 06:55 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: This is the 8.10 CD ? | 06:55 |
| Flyboarder | _2: yes 8.10 | 06:55 |
| _2 | Flyboarder yse in that cd open a konsole and enter the command 'ubiquity' | 06:55 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Boo :) Well proably wants compiz-kde package installed as you say that's something to play with | 06:56 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: So you don't get a desktop ? | 06:56 |
| Flyboarder | _2: NO I GET NOTHING | 06:56 |
| Flyboarder | _2: oops srry caps lock | 06:57 |
| _2 | then the cd is not "booting" | 06:57 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: did you try the safe video mode ? | 06:57 |
| Flyboarder | DaSkreech: no i didnt | 06:57 |
| Flyboarder | ill send you both a screen shot | 06:57 |
| DaSkreech | Riddell: Bah buggered communication Seems that it's the CD not booting | 06:57 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: well , i'll see if i want to mess around with that..Cause from what i understand..i just have to go back to gnome | 06:57 |
| _2 | Flyboarder try safe vidio mode and see if it will boot | 06:57 |
| DaSkreech | Flyboarder: I think I know what you mean now. on the menu I think F4 gives you the option for safe video mode choose that then run it as normal | 06:58 |
| DaSkreech | Or was it F6.... | 06:58 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: you don't | 06:58 |
| DaSkreech | !compiz | 06:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:58 |
| qcjn | ok | 06:59 |
| surgy | hello! | 06:59 |
| _2 | surgy | 06:59 |
| RandyCalifornia | hola surgy :D | 06:59 |
| RandyCalifornia | wassup? | 06:59 |
| surgy | I was wandering if there are any musicians around. I am playing my guitar directly through my sound card using the mic port and a cable i found. My question is, what do we have in the way of software? I want digital effects and recording. | 07:00 |
| surgy | nothin much RandyCalifornia | 07:00 |
| Flyboarder | _2 / DaSkreech: trying in safe video mode | 07:00 |
| RandyCalifornia | You can use Garage Band | 07:00 |
| surgy | ? | 07:00 |
| surgy | explain? | 07:01 |
| _2 | surgy your favorite package manager can search for avalable software | 07:01 |
| RandyCalifornia | That's a Mac OS application that lets you record sound directly from your guitar | 07:01 |
| _2 | !repos | surgy | 07:01 |
| ubottu | surgy: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 07:01 |
| grendal_prime | whats the minimunm required packages to have sftp ioslave working in like quanta? | 07:01 |
| RandyCalifornia | It's very professional | 07:01 |
| qcjn | i can't even write the password, cause my keyboard won't work there ? | 07:01 |
| surgy | _2: sorry but im no noob and have been searching the repos for a few days now | 07:02 |
| RandyCalifornia | it lets you add more than 50 effects to the sound that you created | 07:02 |
| RandyCalifornia | oh... for Linux... :S | 07:02 |
| RandyCalifornia | Audacity? | 07:02 |
| surgy | RandyCalifornia: that works out of the box? or do i need a application layer or wrapper for it? also do you know of anything for digital effects? | 07:02 |
| Flyboarder | _2 / DaSkreech: looks like it is still not booting | 07:02 |
| Flyboarder | How do i do konsole? | 07:02 |
| surgy | yeah i have audacity | 07:03 |
| RandyCalifornia | first of all, what operating system are u using? | 07:03 |
| surgy | but no effects, im looking for a distortion pedal type thing | 07:03 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Where? | 07:03 |
| surgy | Kubuntu 8.04 32 bit | 07:03 |
| grendal_prime | audacity is a very good recorder sound processing app. Also look into lmms for doint fruty loops type sequencing. | 07:03 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: somethings wrong..Can't even minimize my xchat window... | 07:03 |
| _2 | Flyboarder that would require the kde which isn't what you are seeing, maybe try using an alternate install methood ? | 07:03 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: ha ha type kwin --replace | 07:03 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Sorry about that | 07:03 |
| _2 | !alternate | Flyboarder | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | surgy: crunch it... | 07:04 |
| ubottu | Flyboarder: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 07:04 |
| DaSkreech | In terminal | 07:04 |
| RandyCalifornia | oh... Surgy, for what I know, the best applications for effects that the majority of musicians use is GarageBand, unfortunately, that's only for Mac OS | 07:04 |
| RandyCalifornia | it works just right out of the box | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | overdrive it with a preamp, pretty easy to do in the machine | 07:04 |
| surgy | grendal_prime: crunch it? | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | thats what distortion is. | 07:04 |
| surgy | yeah | 07:05 |
| RandyCalifornia | Ableton Live 7 | 07:05 |
| surgy | mind if i pm you to avoid being off topic? | 07:05 |
| RandyCalifornia | that's another one | 07:05 |
| DaSkreech | qcjn: Worked ? | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | stacking up the signal to the max...with a preamp...look for things like gain on the channel you want distorted. | 07:05 |
| surgy | grendal_prime: and actually audacity has proven slow and i cant get it to pickup input from my guitar | 07:07 |
| DaSkreech | !info compiz-kde hardy | 07:07 |
| ubottu | compiz-kde (source: compiz): OpenGL window and compositing manager - KDE window decorator. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7 (hardy), package size 103 kB, installed size 272 kB | 07:07 |
| surgy | grendal_prime: in windows its nice but the linux version seams to be slow | 07:07 |
| Flyboarder | _2: alternate is doing the same thing | 07:08 |
| Flyboarder | _2: also konsole isnt on the cd | 07:08 |
| Flyboarder | _2: or i cant find it | 07:08 |
| _2 | Flyboarder ok. describe exactly what it is doing | 07:09 |
| grendal_prime | ive never had any problems with that app in linux..windows? ive never run it in windows, and as far as you guitar...does it have some sort of digital output or are you sending it analog to the computer (through some sort of soundcard?) | 07:09 |
| Flyboarder | _2: i am trying to install kubuntu in vpc | 07:09 |
| _2 | Flyboarder that much i knew. and... | 07:10 |
| grendal_prime | if you are using analog signal, test the input with a mic, if that works and your guitar does not, maybe you need to line input it into the box (use the line in on the computer) | 07:10 |
| Flyboarder | _2: i get install menu screen, but after i press install it runes a few lines of code then says ' end trace ' | 07:10 |
| Flyboarder | _2: runs* | 07:10 |
| surgy | grendal_prime: im using a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adaptor on a male/male stereo cable from my guitar's output port to my soundcards mic in port. Then use Kmix to amplify the signal and i have Logitech 5.1 saround sound and a decent practice amp | 07:10 |
| Psi-Jack | Now. | 07:11 |
| _2 | Flyboarder and you have waited for a few minutes to make sure it wasn't just probing for network connections or something ??? | 07:11 |
| Psi-Jack | Next problem. Dun dun duuuuuun. Firefox's tabs are kinda screwed up. | 07:11 |
| grendal_prime | you now i think they make a digitizer for guitars, i think they are cheep too...might want to look into that. | 07:11 |
| surgy | yeah? | 07:12 |
| DaSkreech | hi qcjn | 07:12 |
| Psi-Jack | What's up with KDE mucking up the tabs in Firefox? | 07:12 |
| DaSkreech | Still can't use the keyboard ? | 07:12 |
| grendal_prime | ya, look into analog to digital signal processor | 07:12 |
| Flyboarder | _2: yes | 07:12 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: computer crashed, so i came back to gnome for now, cause i don't really have an hour or so, to play with that | 07:12 |
| _2 | Flyboarder ok, and what is the message just above "end trace" ? | 07:12 |
| surgy | basicly im not all that searious at playing, and i just want to work on my metal riffs, no distortion == no metal | 07:12 |
| DaSkreech | woah. | 07:12 |
| RandyCalifornia | how can I install wine on Kubuntu PPC? | 07:12 |
| Flyboarder | _2 : a line consisting of a bunch of =========== | 07:12 |

| surgy | grendal_prime: yes i do, and now im looking for a decent program for effects :) | 07:13 |
| grendal_prime | straight up guitarhero meets the matrix type shiznit!!! | 07:13 |

| Flyboarder | _2: unknown** | 07:17 |
| _2 | Flyboarder ok. that might be what we are looking for... give me a second. | 07:17 |
| RandyCalifornia | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 07:17 |
| RandyCalifornia | E: Package wine has no installation candidate | 07:17 |
| RandyCalifornia | that's what konsole says | 07:18 |

| surgy | eagles0513875: doing so now, they are kindof dead though | 07:24 |
| _2 | Flyboarder hmmm that's not good. did you try the install iso specally for vertual machines ? it's on the install page | 07:25 |
| _2 | or linked from i mean. | 07:25 |
| Flyboarder | _2: no i didnt see such iso | 07:25 |

| RandyCalifornia | and Kubuntu is acting weird now :S | 07:33 |
| Flyboarder | _2: lol | 07:34 |
| RandyCalifornia | please, help :( | 07:34 |
| Flyboarder | _2: can i upgrade ubuntu to kubuntu? 'cuz i will try to install that aswell | 07:34 |
| _2 | Flyboarder *buntu is *buntu is *buntu it's one os, with different default desktop/apps | 07:36 |
| _2 | or in other words No you can't upgrade from 1 to 1 because 1 = 1 | 07:37 |
| Flyboarder | but i can change ubuntu into kubunto by switching gnome for kde right? | 07:37 |
| _2 | to complete that thought... you can install the kubuntu defaluts on any version of *buntu yes. and you can install the ubuntu defaults on any version of *buntu yes. | 07:38 |
| phant0m2000 | does anyone know where i can find kubuntu drivers for zte zxdsl 852 usb adsl modem? | 07:39 |
| * _2 has xubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop installed on his *buntu system. | 07:39 | |
| Flyboarder | kk even my ubunto cd does the same thing | 07:39 |
| _2 | yes i expected it would. | 07:39 |
| _2 | they are the same up to the desktop... | 07:39 |
| RandyCalifornia | holy smokes!! Linux big crash :S | 07:40 |
| Flyboarder | so is this problem my computer or the cd? | 07:40 |
| DaSkreech | _2: Your menu must look wondeful :) | 07:40 |

| itsmesilly | is there kubuntu 8.10 with kde3? | 08:11 |
| _2 | itsmesilly i think so.... | 08:11 |
| Mamarok | itsmesilly: no | 08:11 |
| eyestaples | thanks | 08:11 |
| _2 | Mamarok you can install kde3 in intrepid can't you ? | 08:11 |
| Mamarok | _2: well, you can, but one has to remove kde4 first, which means either doing all this in CLI or install another desktop first | 08:12 |
| _2 | Mamarok or not install kde4 at all. | 08:12 |
| Mamarok | and it makes no sense, better stay with Hardy then | 08:12 |
| Mamarok | itsmesilly: if you absolutely *need* kde3, stay with 8.04 | 08:13 |
| surgy | jack audio is either not installed or not working properlly can someone give me a hand getting jack to do his job? | 08:13 |
| _2 | itsmesilly ok. short answer, yes it can be done. you can install either server install or one of the other desktops then add kde3 | 08:13 |
| Mamarok | _2: but it's not a good idea, he is better off with 8.04 | 08:14 |

| _2 | surgy it is installed ? | 08:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Bleh. | 08:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Another useless audio layer that should never exist. | 08:19 |
| Psi-Jack | esound, arts, SDL, libao, jackaudio, pulseaudio, WHY DO THESE EXIST? | 08:19 |
| surgy | lol well i installed ubuntu-studio and at least 60% of the tools require it | 08:19 |
| surgy | so how cani make it work? and i allready wernt digging through apt | 08:20 |
| Psi-Jack | Now at least arts is no longer a sound mixer, though. | 08:20 |
| _2 | hmm so maybe you need to do something like sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop ;sudo /etc/init.d/jackaudio restart or even just something like jack<tab_key> and see what commands are avalable ? | 08:22 |
| _2 | !jackaudio | 08:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jackaudio | 08:23 |
| surgy | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 08:23 |
| _2 | that looks like you typed in <tab_key> in place of hitting the tab key | 08:24 |

| Psi-Jack | How do I configure Dolphin's "Places" list? | 08:24 |

| _2 | Mamarok can you answer Psi-Jack ? cause idk. | 08:26 |
| Psi-Jack | Eh? | 08:26 |
| Psi-Jack | I don't do libao, sdl, pulseaudio, or jack. | 08:26 |
| surgy | _2: lol you seam to be in the "helping mood" ok heres my exact problem, I installed the ubuntu-studion over my exsisting kubuntu installation so i would have both tool sets. Since 60% of the studio tools require jack audio i assumed it was instaleld. I have searched the repos several times using several key words and cant find a specific "jack audio" package, nor can i confirm it is installed at all | 08:26 |
| Psi-Jack | They are all the reason Linux sound is horrible, that and ALSA itself. | 08:26 |
| surgy | Psi-Jack: well then do you play an instrument through your soundcard? | 08:27 |
| Psi-Jack | surgy: I plug them in. | 08:27 |
| Psi-Jack | What a concept, eh? ;) | 08:28 |
| surgy | Psi-Jack: i play my guitar through my computer using my soundcard and 5.1 speakers as a practice amp. Im trying to get distortion/wah/flang effects in real time but i either cant find the software or the software i have requires jack audio which leads me to my previous problem | 08:29 |
| _2 | the reason that sound is lacking in linux is because the hardware for the most part is not hardware but 1/2 hardware and 3/4 code that uses the cpu to emulate sound hardware. | 08:29 |
| Psi-Jack | _2: That's not the whole problem. | 08:29 |
| Mamarok | sry, was afk | 08:29 |
| * Mamarok reads back | 08:30 | |
| Psi-Jack | _2: The biggest problem of all, is ALSA< to be blunt. | 08:30 |
| _2 | use oss | 08:30 |
| Psi-Jack | Which FINALLY is back to opensource again, GPL even, so perfectly acceptable to start integrating OSS4 into the kernel again, and improve it with the newfound knowledge of ALSA, but make it better. | 08:30 |
| surgy | audacity wont even pick up sound from my guitar unless its hooked into the mic jack and then its so quit i have to amplify it till it sounds like junk | 08:30 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: got an answer about your Dolphin question? | 08:30 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok, Not yet | 08:30 |
| surgy | no solutions to my problem? | 08:31 |
| Psi-Jack | I got hooked into talking about the problem of Linux Sound. ;) | 08:31 |
| Psi-Jack | surgy: Jack Audio is a pain to use, seriously. They make it sound all easy, but it's about as bad, honestly, as pulseaudio | 08:31 |
| surgy | Psi-Jack: any recommendations for software to solve my problems then? | 08:31 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: to add entries just do a right click on the free space in the "Places" column | 08:31 |
| surgy | becuase so far jack audio is the only solution i have found, so i either need to fix that or find "non jack" oriented software | 08:32 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: to hide existing entries, right click on them and choose "hide..." | 08:32 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok, : Tried. It doesn't do anything.. | 08:33 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: does this answer your question? | 08:33 |
| Psi-Jack | I can hide them, sure, but not add any. I did try that, right clicking the empty space. ;) | 08:33 |
| surgy | ok well back to google for a few hours :( | 08:34 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: what version of kde ar you using? | 08:35 |
| Psi-Jack | surgy: Curious, have you tried the jackaudio channel? | 08:35 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok: KDE 4, from Ubuntu 8.10 | 08:35 |
| Mamarok | hm, strange, same here and it works | 08:35 |
| surgy | Psi-Jack: #jackaudio? lol | 08:35 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah for me, right click does nothing, in the empty space. | 08:35 |
| Psi-Jack | surgy, likely. ;) | 08:35 |
| Mamarok | "Add entry.." opens a window where you can choose | 08:35 |
| surgy | Psi-Jack: empty | 08:35 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: in the empty space below the existing entries? | 08:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok, : Interesting. | 08:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok, I dragged and dropped.. | 08:36 |
| Psi-Jack | It worked, how ironic. ;) | 08:36 |
| Psi-Jack | God I love KDE4! They REALLY changed my mind about KDE again. As usual. | 08:37 |
| Mamarok | :) | 08:37 |
| Psi-Jack | Snappy snazzy and fast. Innovation to the max! | 08:37 |
| eppan | most u dont notice until you try something different for a sec :P | 08:38 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah! | 08:38 |
| Psi-Jack | Like oops.. Dragging a dropping the places up and it forms a new tabbed structure between the folder view and places view. | 08:38 |
| Psi-Jack | Pick it up again, drag it to the bottom, it snaps back in on the bottom. | 08:39 |
| jussi01 | As much as I love to see Kubuntu being praised, can we do it in #kubuntu-offtopic? :) | 08:39 |

| Psi-Jack | Now. Dolphin view modes.. | 08:40 |
| Psi-Jack | How do I get "Detail" to be the default, view, without setting them all that way, keeping the ability to keep some directories a different view mode? | 08:41 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: well, this is a support channel, for loose discussions, rants, praises, etc. the -offtopic is a better choice :) | 08:41 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: explore the settings | 08:41 |
| eagles0513875 | morning Mamarok and jussi01 | 08:41 |
| Mamarok | hi eagles0513875 | 08:41 |
| Psi-Jack | I think I figured it out. Had to turn on the default view while detail view was up, and then set it back to allow customized views. ;) | 08:42 |
| Psi-Jack | Otherwise, though. There was no explicit setting. | 08:42 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: the logic way allways is to go to Settings and explore the various possibilities | 08:42 |

| silleme | dccdcdvc dc | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: depends what you need/want | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: if you already use kde4 you should | 09:33 |
| FisherPrice | no, i don't | 09:33 |
| FisherPrice | i guess I'm just a tiny bit nervous about intrepid | 09:33 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: if you want a stable system and don't need the latest software, stay with 8.04 | 09:34 |
| Mamarok | if you are comfortable with using advanced user software, then why not give it a try? | 09:34 |
| FisherPrice | yeah | 09:35 |
| FisherPrice | there's things like compiz, awn, which i wouldn't mind being a bit more advanced | 09:35 |
| Mamarok | the end user version of kde 4.2 will be released at the end of January, daily snapshots are already available with the Neon packages | 09:35 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: well, KDE4 doesn't use Compiz but Desktop Effects which is specific to KDE4 | 09:36 |
| FisherPrice | and other programs like digikam, and kmymoney | 09:36 |
| FisherPrice | I'll youtube kde4 | 09:36 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: you might try Neon first, it doesn't replace your existing setup | 09:36 |
| Mamarok | !neon | FisherPrice | 09:37 |
| ubottu | FisherPrice: The Neon Project provides daily Amarok and KDE 4 trunk builds as packages for Kubuntu | See http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon and http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon/KDE/Info for more | Support in #amarok.neon | 09:37 |
| maggo79 | but: neon -> no language-packs | 09:37 |
| FisherPrice | cool | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | maggo79: well, one can not have everything :) | 09:39 |
| DreadKnight | what's the deal with bluetooth in kde4.2? i've never used bluetooth with my laptop so far.. | 09:40 |
| DreadKnight | how do i check for devices / transfer data? | 09:41 |
| FisherPrice | so, let me get this straight.. i install this and I can get kde(nightly) on my hardy | 09:41 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: yes, make sure to use the hardy repo for it, then logout and login to a kde-neon session | 09:41 |
| aldin | hi, how can i list all installed packages (i want to sync two computers), so i can apt-get install "listed" packages | 09:43 |
| eppan | !clone | 09:44 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 09:44 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyone know of an alarm program that supports Amarok and volume panning upwards, so it doesn't start out blaring right away? | 09:44 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: not for A2, no | 09:45 |
| aldin | !automate | 09:45 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:45 |
| Mamarok | there was something for A1, but don't know if one could set volume increasing | 09:45 |
| Psi-Jack | I know dcop amarok player play, will play the music.. | 09:46 |
| aldin | eppan: thanks | 09:46 |
| maggo79 | aldin: another way: dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-169062.html | 09:47 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: but be patient, I'm sure with the new dbus support and javascript someone will come up with something soon :) | 09:47 |
| Psi-Jack | Mamarok, This is Amarok 1.4.10 | 09:47 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: check kde-apps-org, there is a script for 1.4.x, you shoudl be able to install it directly from Amarok | 09:48 |
| Mamarok | *should | 09:48 |
| Psi-Jack | Got it, weekalarm | 09:50 |
| FisherPrice | Mamarok: when i insert the deb line for neon into my sources.list the update hangs | 09:54 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: hangs? which means? | 09:55 |
| FisherPrice | it just made me lie | 09:56 |
| FisherPrice | :S | 09:56 |
| maggo79 | FisherPrice: are the backports enabled? | 09:56 |
| FisherPrice | maggo79: yes | 09:56 |
| Mamarok | maggo79: hm, neon is not in the backports AFAIK | 09:57 |
| FisherPrice | i guess the nightly stopped being packaged for hardy when intrepid was released eh | 09:58 |
| maggo79 | Mamarok: but i think you need some software from the backports to install software from neon (dependencies) | 09:58 |
| FisherPrice | it seems to be working | 09:58 |
| FisherPrice | there's no dependancy problems | 09:58 |
| maggo79 | FisherPrice: I think you're right: http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages | 10:00 |
| maggo79 | Package: kde-nightly-kdebase; Version: 20081024.1+svn875549-0neon1 | 10:01 |
| word | Hey, I deleted some files i thought i didn't need...only to realize i wrote down a cdkey to one of my programs in them...i recovered all the text files from the partition which is a -lot- so I was wondering what the best way would be to search through them? | 10:06 |
| vge | fgrep -ir "searchword" * | 10:07 |
| maggo79 | word: the search function from kde allows you to search in files, too. | 10:08 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: my bad, sorry, but then, would have been a bit much to maintain for one single person | 10:08 |
| Mamarok | FisherPrice: I sue Neon in 8.10 and it's very stable | 10:09 |
| Mamarok | *use | 10:09 |
| word | vge, maggo79, but i don't know the actual cdkey...so could i do something like ****-****-****-****? | 10:09 |
| FisherPrice | yeah i understand that | 10:09 |
| FisherPrice | no problems | 10:09 |
| vge | word: im sorry bad im quite bad on shell regexps and i think regexp is the way to go here | 10:11 |
| elisiano | what's the deal? | 10:11 |
| maggo79 | word: regexps are the solution (with kfind or a shell app) | 10:15 |
| word | maggo79: ok umm what would the regexp be like for that? any idea? | 10:16 |
| preston | can i get root in kubuntu with kdesudo | 10:18 |
| maggo79 | word: (I'm not a regexps-guru :-)) Perhaps .{4}-.{4}-.{4}-.{4} | 10:18 |
| maggo79 | word: http://www.evolt.org/article/rating/20/22700/ | 10:19 |
| Mamarok | preston: yes | 10:19 |
| Mamarok | preston: sudo in the command line | 10:20 |
| maggo79 | word: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html | 10:20 |
| preston | i will use it wisely and sparingly | 10:20 |
| word | maggo79: thanks :D | 10:20 |
| preston | only to adjust my nividia settings so they will stay after reboot | 10:20 |
| preston | mamarok are you speaking of sudo or su, or kdesudo? | 10:21 |
| Mamarok | preston: kdesudo for applications, sudo in the command line | 10:26 |
| elisiano | word: since I connected after your question, can you repeat it please? | 10:27 |
| preston | got it mamarok, also after installing nvidia driver iver got desktop effects, where are the settings located | 10:27 |
| preston | my 1st time with kde 4 | 10:27 |
| Mamarok | preston: you can set them in the system settings | 10:27 |
| Mamarok | ->desktop | 10:28 |
| preston | ah found it, i overlooked it before | 10:28 |
| zhs | ? | 10:28 |
| zhs | you ren me? | 10:28 |
| Mamarok | zhs: no, he was talking to me :) | 10:28 |
| zhs | i'm sorry ~ | 10:29 |
| preston | thanks mamarok | 10:29 |
| Mamarok | :) | 10:29 |
| preston | if you dont mind me asking how has 8.10 and kde 4 been long term so to speak | 10:30 |
| zhs | where're you from ? | 10:30 |
| Mamarok | preston: I use KDE4 sinc the beginnings, and 4.1.2 is already very stable | 10:30 |
| Mamarok | zhs: this is a support channel | 10:30 |
| Mamarok | *since | 10:31 |
| zhs | i'm a new~ | 10:31 |
| Mamarok | preston: currently I use kde-nightly, which is the current kde ç.2 snapshot | 10:31 |
| preston | good to hear | 10:31 |
| elisiano | Mamarok: I had a dual screen setup that got messed up with the transition from 3.5 to 4.X, so I don't think it's that stable :) | 10:31 |
| elisiano | (indeed I have to use GNOME on that pc :( ) | 10:31 |
| Mamarok | elisiano: I never said that everything was, but pretty stable is the right word | 10:32 |
| Mamarok | elisiano: also, dual screen is not basic setup, so... | 10:32 |
| elisiano | :O | 10:32 |
| elisiano | :D | 10:32 |
| maggo79 | dual-screen setup with kde 4.2 beta1 is working here | 10:32 |
| preston | thanks again mamarok gonna restart | 10:33 |
| elwood | hi | 10:33 |
| Mamarok | preston: you are welcome :) | 10:33 |
| maggo79 | I had some issues with the desktop -> zoom out/zoom in resolved it | 10:33 |
| elwood | Mamarok: are you using the kde-nightly on 8.10? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Mamarok: i got all those nightlys in, it canes my ram pretty good | 10:34 |
| elwood | Mamarok: il akonadi server working for you? | 10:34 |
| elwood | *is | 10:34 |
| Mamarok | elwood: I don't use it, but seems to run, yes | 10:35 |
| elwood | Mamarok: ok, so my problems are really mine :) thanks | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip2 | i use it, its not bad | 10:35 |

| Mamarok | brb | 10:40 |
| elijah_frost | Good day ladies and gentlemen | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip2 | werd | 10:51 |
| werdnum | what? | 10:51 |
| elijah_frost | I have installed libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb package, wich comes with CodeBlocks 8.02 C++ IDE. However, when I launch it again, the Install button is ... enabled again (i.e. I can "install" this package over and over again). The problem is, I can't install codeblocks itself because it requires that strange library | 10:51 |
| elijah_frost | more to say, it is unable for me to remove that strange lib | 10:52 |
| elijah_frost | What am I doing wrong? | 10:52 |
| werdnum | elijah_frost: have you tried using apt-get to install/remove it instead of the GUI? | 10:52 |
| elijah_frost | I did | 10:52 |
| elijah_frost | As I said, using "apt-get remove <strange_lib_name> returns stuff like "no packages found" | 10:53 |
| elijah_frost | It seems like for apt-get the package is not installed, that's why I can't remove it from CLI | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elijah_frost: try: dpkg -l | grep libcodeblock | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | elijah_frost: it will show you what its called | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | you can then sudo dpkg -r <name> | 10:56 |
| Psi-Jack | Goodie, now that I got weekalarm installed, it | 10:57 |
| Psi-Jack | It's not actually working in Amarok. :/ | 10:58 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip2 | 10:58 |
| eagles0513875 | hi | 10:58 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip2 i need some help tracking down a bug | 10:59 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: hm, it should work with Amarok 1.4.10 | 10:59 |
| Psi-Jack | Yes.. It should, but I tested it out several times, with 2 minutes ahead of time. Never started. | 10:59 |
| Mamarok | Psi-Jack: you might check with the script author then | 11:00 |
| mehrab | hey guys | 11:12 |
| mehrab | I've updated my openoffice 3.0 through kununtu repos, and now I cannot even open OOo | 11:12 |
| mehrab | a recovery message appear and after I click on each of the buttons It will close | 11:13 |
| mehrab | any idea? | 11:14 |
| eagles0513875 | mehrab there are bugs out about it being broken | 11:18 |
| * geiseri pokes around for Riddell | 11:19 | |
| estan | hrmf. trying to set up a printer using the CUPS web interface, since there's no printer config in kde4. but it prompts me for user/password.. is there no way to add a printer in kubuntu without activating the root account or adding yourself to the cupsys group? | 11:21 |
| estan | seems kind of not userfriendly :/ | 11:21 |
| estan | or sorry, i didn't mean adding yourself to cupsys group, but adding the cupsys user to the shadow group.. | 11:22 |
| estan | which is also bad, as it will remove any password checking from 127.0.0.1:631. | 11:22 |
| estan | or wait, no it won't. but still, kind of a hazzle for just adding a printer.. | 11:23 |
| mehrab | eagles0513875: but I didn't have problems before yesterday update, and I should say before that time I was using OOo 3.0 | 11:24 |
| estan | especially as there seems to be no user/group configuration in systemsettings, or? | 11:25 |
| M-a-r-k | Hi. I keep getting system messages about dcop. That's a KDE thing, right? | 11:25 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: that's used by kde3, yes | 11:26 |
| M-a-r-k | I don't have any kde apps or libraries installed, Mamarok | 11:27 |
| M-a-r-k | Or do I? | 11:27 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: Gnome uses it too AFAIK | 11:27 |
| M-a-r-k | Hmm | 11:27 |
| Mamarok | hm, wrong answer, Gnome uses dbus | 11:27 |
| M-a-r-k | Yeah. I thought that was the case | 11:28 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: indeed, you probably have a library somewhere that calls it, what's the exact message? | 11:28 |
| eagles0513875 | Mamarok i fixed my issue | 11:28 |
| eagles0513875 | :) | 11:28 |
| M-a-r-k | The message I keep getting is | 11:28 |
| M-a-r-k | sh: | 11:28 |
| M-a-r-k | dcop: not found | 11:28 |
| Mamarok | eagles0513875: what was it? | 11:29 |
| M-a-r-k | Which makes me wonder what could be looking for it Mama | 11:29 |
| eagles0513875 | Mamarok i needed to mount it on the machine using smbmount | 11:29 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: hm, so probably some script that calls it, as it can be anything | 11:29 |
| M-a-r-k | Is there a way to track said script down? | 11:29 |
| koperton | hey guys i can't get kde4's bar trasparent | 11:30 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: do you have ack-grep installed? | 11:30 |
| M-a-r-k | Erm. Hang on | 11:30 |
| Mamarok | you could use it to track down dcop | 11:30 |
| koperton | i have installed naked theme but i get always black bar | 11:30 |
| geiseri | can anyone tell me what is the most basic set of packages to get kde 4s desktop and nothing else? | 11:31 |
| koperton | kubuntu-desktop i think is that geiseri | 11:31 |
| * geiseri is trying to install kubuntu on 512mb | 11:31 | |
| M-a-r-k | I do now, Mamarok | 11:31 |
| yunky | ho to use emerald | 11:31 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: try ack-grep dcop | 11:31 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri kde-core that pkg only | 11:32 |
| geiseri | koperton: i tried that one and it installed too much stuff | 11:32 |
| M-a-r-k | Tryinhg | 11:32 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: will that give me kwin, and the workspace? | 11:32 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri you wanting to strip down your machine to command line then build it up from the ground up | 11:32 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri that will give u kde with nothing installed on it | 11:32 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: that is what im doing, i started with debootstrap | 11:32 |
| Mamarok | M-a-r-k: in your script folder | 11:32 |
| eagles0513875 | then install what ever you want on it | 11:32 |
| koperton | geiseri: i don't know then... but i think with 512 mega you can run kde4 without problem | 11:32 |
| M-a-r-k | I did it in a terminal | 11:33 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri easier way you could have done that apt-get purge kde* that woudl purge all default kde form default kubuntu install and programs wiht it | 11:33 |
| eagles0513875 | then sudo apt-get install kde-core | 11:33 |
| * Mamarok is afk | 11:33 | |
| M-a-r-k | It seems to be finding a lot of instances | 11:33 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: is that kde-core kde 3 or 4? | 11:33 |
| geiseri | im on hardy | 11:33 |
| eagles0513875 | kde-core is for 4 | 11:34 |
| geiseri | cool | 11:34 |
| eagles0513875 | that i think would strip down everything kde related if sudo apt-get purge kde* is done | 11:34 |
| eagles0513875 | kde 3 and 4 if you have both installed | 11:34 |
| geiseri | hmm.. im looking at kde-core now, and it looks like its kde3 on hardy | 11:35 |
| kevin_ | Hello all, I have just downloaded adobe flash player 10.0.12.36. Can some one tell me how to open this? | 11:35 |
| geiseri | i dont have a lot of space so i was gunning to have only kde4 so i could use the kisok stuff in KDE | 11:35 |
| M-a-r-k | I think I've found the culprits | 11:35 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri sometimes total reinstall might be necessary | 11:35 |
| M-a-r-k | Thanks Mamarok | 11:35 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri whats you probably dont have is the intrepid repos | 11:35 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: well i am started from a debootstrap script, so i can reinstall at a blink | 11:36 |
| M-a-r-k | Wherever you are ;) | 11:36 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: can i do that and still get lts? or is lts only for kde3 still? | 11:36 |
| geiseri | that is the only reason im using hardy right now | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri gotcha never done that usually start wiht default kubuntu and strip it back to command line then install the kde-core that way i have the intrepid repos | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | not sure how that would work | 11:36 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: i can go that route easy enough, i have tons of space on the build system | 11:37 |
| geiseri | its the target that i only have 512 | 11:37 |
| eagles0513875 | could u live with kde 3 instead of for though | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | geiseri: if you want LTS support stay with hardy | 11:37 |
| eagles0513875 | agreed | 11:37 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: i could if i had to, but my custom app is qt4 based | 11:38 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: id really like kde4, but i can live with 3 if that mean lts | 11:38 |
| eagles0513875 | you should be able to install the necessary qt4 stuff on kde3 | 11:38 |
| Mamarok | geiseri: you can run a Qt4 app in KDE3, just need the library | 11:38 |
| geiseri | yeah but it looks so much prettier on KDE 4 ;) | 11:38 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 11:39 |
| geiseri | but yeah, i can live with 3 if i must | 11:39 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri test out what i told you on ur test machine and let me know what you think | 11:39 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: i will, thanks | 11:39 |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri no problem | 11:40 |
| eagles0513875 | im thinking of doing that again now that i know what my issue wiht me not being able ot play music was | 11:40 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: im doing a skunkworks project for work... they want to use xfce, but i am betting kde is not much bigger and will get us more stuff | 11:40 |
| * geiseri thinks kio and kiosk mode are the killers there | 11:40 | |
| eagles0513875 | geiseri if u start with kde-core its super lightweight and fast | 11:41 |

| eagles0513875 | that would also come in handy for optimizing performance of the whole install | 11:41 |
| geiseri | eagles0513875: well im on a via 500mhz, so there is not much to optimize compiler wise | 11:41 |
| eagles0513875 | but if the whole install is sluggish now depending on how strong the optimization is u will notice a performance gain | 11:42 |
| geiseri | but i do notice kde4 is more responsive than 3 at work on my workstation | 11:42 |
| eagles0513875 | i noticed performance gain on bootup and program start up | 11:42 |
| geiseri | well im hacking udev rules to speed up boot time | 11:42 |
| * geiseri notes udev takes up 75% of the boot time on his via system | 11:42 | |
| eagles0513875 | im not that advanced and lack the programming knowledge | 11:43 |

| geiseri | i have boot time down to 12 seconds on a 1.6ghz atom | 11:43 |
| eagles0513875 | try apt-build on top of what ur doing | 11:43 |

| eagles0513875 | geiseri im gonna pm ya we are offtopic | 11:43 |

| dr_willis | You do have your full 3d drivers installed? | 12:54 |
| edualex | from google | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | run it from a terminal, look for error messages.. If you are using nvidia/ati - you proberly need to get the 3d drivers going first | 12:55 |
| edualex | I guess yes, Dr. willis, but I don`t know for sure | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | check with the 'sudo jockey-qt' command. (or was it jockey-kde) | 12:56 |

| michael__ | Due to intellectual-property/patent issues beyond our control, the source code of some components like modem modulations cannot be released; however, we have attempted to reduce the inconvenience of binary-only modules by separating the proprietary code from the operating-system specific code. The latter is provided in source form, allowing users to install the drivers under any supported version of the Linux kernel. | 16:30 |

| genii | michael__: At any rate, the Dell winmodem driver for ubuntu is found at http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/hardy/modem-drivers/hsf/hsfmodem_7.68.00.09oem_i386.deb and works with all Conexant types. If yours is not Conexant , your mileage may vary | 16:52 |
| genii | michael__: Please do not private message me, I assist in public channel only. As the directory path of the download shows, this is for hsf modems. | 16:55 |
| michael__ | excuse me, i didn't know we had alot unpolite people on here. | 16:56 |
| genii | michael__: The Rockwell modems generally use internally a Conexant chipset, so this driver is more than likely to work. | 16:57 |
| farapa | hi guys | 16:57 |
| farapa | i have kubuntu intrepid. guidance power manager does not show cpu frequency. is there any other program for power management to try? Solid also says that it uses hal-power | 16:57 |
| michael__ | i will give it a try if not like i said GENII, i don't really care!! i used linux this long without a stupid modem | 16:58 |
| michael__ | been using ethernet for the past 5 years | 16:58 |
| michael__ | and all the modems gradually been seeing the trash can heheeh. | 16:58 |
| desu | farapa: try doing a `cat /proc/cpuinfo'. that should show you the frequency | 16:59 |
| genii | michael__: Then toss it, or not, as you prefer. Otherwise why come here and complain about it if's not something that matters to you | 16:59 |
| farapa | desu: thanks. just a min | 16:59 |
| farapa | desu: ok the problem is not to see cpu freq. the problem is that i suspect that power management does not work correctly, because my laptop some times closes unexpectedly, and i suppose that is overheating or something, and i supposed that power management has problem since i dont see cpufreq. anyway the question is how i m sure powermanagent works, and if i have other alternatives to use | 17:01 |

| michael__ | anyone know how to make the wired ethernet to stay connected when restarting kubuntu | 17:13 |
| farapa | see u | 17:13 |
| ikonia | michael__: you can't be connected without an OS | 17:13 |
| robotboy_ | no i don't think that is possble | 17:14 |
| alonea | how do I get linux to set the clock with local time instead of utc so it doesn't screw up my windows? | 17:14 |
| ikonia | michael__: the OS controls your network, so if you reboot/restart it disconnects | 17:14 |
| robotboy_ | oh it can work | 17:14 |
| nicola | ok, I found a solution. I first removed kdesdk-scripts with "dpkg -r". | 17:14 |
| michael__ | well with kubuntu 7.04 it stayed connected soon as i started kubuntu | 17:14 |
| michael__ | after that version, everything just went their own seperate way. | 17:14 |
| pteague_work | anybody know when the virtual box kernels will get updated to current ubuntu kernel? | 17:15 |

| eagles0513875 | ikonia got my problem sloved bout mp3's not playing | 17:15 |
| ikonia | michael__: other #kubuntu versions will connect automaically on boot if you have dhcp setup on that nic and a dhcp server listening on the network, OR if you have a working static IP config | 17:16 |
| michael__ | why does everyone have to, "YOU MUST BE SPECIFIC" | 17:16 |
| michael__ | i say it the way it is | 17:16 |
| robotboy_ | anybody know how to install webmin | 17:16 |
| robotboy_ | with sudo | 17:16 |
| pteague_work | alonea: i thought there was a way during the install process to select that the clock should be based on local time | 17:16 |
| robotboy_ | ok | 17:16 |
| ikonia | michael__: your not saying it the way it is | 17:17 |
| ikonia | robotboy_: webmin is not packaged or supported by ubuntu any more | 17:17 |
| michael__ | i used to like kubuntu 7.04 | 17:17 |

| michael__ | kubuntu 8.04 is nice but when going to kubuntu 8.10 it gets out of hand. like not saving screen resolution | 17:18 |
| alonea | pteague_work: I have no idea and I certainly am not going to reinstall to fix this. I don't remember seeing that option, but with kde4 I can't seem to find any of the options I used to could find on kde3 | 17:18 |
| robotboy_ | ok | 17:18 |
| === `Miam`No`Pvs` is now known as Skulblaka | ||
| ikonia | michael__: screen resolution issues can normally be resolved with xorg configuration/driver configuration, due to the later version 8.10 comes with later driver versions and not all cards work out of the box or at all | 17:18 |
| michael__ | well i am all total auto piolet not manual | 17:19 |
| michael__ | here ikonia | 17:19 |
| ikonia | michael__: then stick with kubuntu 8.04 unless you are certain your hardwae is supported out of the box | 17:19 |
| pteague_work | alonea: yeah, i'm wondering if there might be a way via ntp or some such | 17:20 |
| michael__ | so til they get all those bugs out of kubuntu 8.1 i am using kubuntu 8.04 and its pretty much all AUTO PIOLET MODE. | 17:20 |
| ikonia | michael__: ok, great. | 17:20 |
| alonea | I saw a thing that said right click on clock and uncheck utc...but I dont see that anywhere on here. | 17:20 |
| michael__ | except for the ethernet not staying connected when i restart kubuntu | 17:20 |
| ikonia | michael__: as I say, if you have the correct configuration on your card/network there is no reason why it won't connect on boot up | 17:21 |

| michael__ | junk | 17:22 |
| ikonia | michael__: drop the attitude, if you want help, I'm helping | 17:22 |
| michael__ | ikonia, you are not helping you giving more detail then just the basic file to make it work right. | 17:22 |
| ikonia | michael__: I'm not giving you any files | 17:23 |
| ikonia | michael__: I'm explaining that in some situations you have to make a change from the default configuration to make it compatible on your network | 17:23 |
| michael__ | for now kubuntu 8.04 i like it because it keeping everything in AUTO PILOT | 17:23 |
| ikonia | michael__: it should work with minor changes or out of the box, but sometimes there are deeper faults | 17:23 |
| michael__ | except for the network | 17:23 |
| ikonia | michael__: stop using caps, auto pilot is not a real thing, I'm assuming you mean the default settings when you set auto pilot | 17:24 |
| michael__ | i think this channel is filled with some people that don't understand english. | 17:24 |

| ikonia | michael__: no, we can't understand the problem %100 when you don't make things clear | 17:26 |
| ikonia | michael__: hence again why I'm asking when you say auto pilot you mean the default settings from a default install yes/no ? | 17:26 |
| michael__ | anyone might have a solution for this network thing, i tried going into it telling it to start when linux starts | 17:26 |
| michael__ | but it just defaults right back to its stupid setting, manual connect | 17:27 |
| ikonia | michael__: if you give us the detail I've asked for we can hopefully work it through | 17:27 |
| bazhang | michael__, you are doing this with the gui? or the cli? | 17:27 |
| eagles0513875 | michael__ listen to ikonia we want to help but your not answering any questions hes been asking | 17:27 |
| michael__ | all i know when i installed kubuntu it has this network icon that starts with kubuntu. and i right click it and go with wired | 17:28 |
| bazhang | honestly michael__ you are not giving clear answers | 17:28 |
| michael__ | because i am a windows user not some stupid linux users like you people are | 17:28 |
| bazhang | michael__, no need for that kind of talk | 17:28 |

| ActionParsnip | is there a room for kde4.2 support? | 18:47 |
| hyper_ch | this one here | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | awesome | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ok in sight of new information... | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | I have kde4.2 nightly. My monitor powers off with screensaver and asks for a password when i wiggle the mouse. I hammer my password in and it does NOT go back to desktop. The only way is to restart the x server (ctrl + alt + backspace) and I can log in with the identical password. Has anyone seen this | 18:50 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip i would check every few hrs on those nightly things cuz seems they constantly releasing updates every few hrs | 18:51 |

| michael__ | what channel do i go to for compiling | 19:06 |
| bazhang | michael__, what do you need to compile | 19:08 |
| michael__ | pidgin package | 19:08 |
| bazhang | michael__, that is in the repos | 19:08 |
| michael__ | 2.52 since ubunu only has 2.4 | 19:08 |
| bazhang | michael__, any reason other than the higher number? | 19:08 |
| michael__ | sorry i am new to linxu andkubuntu | 19:08 |
| michael__ | i am the type wanting the latest programs for linux | 19:09 |
| bazhang | michael__, the problem with compiling is that it wont be updated with your package manager | 19:09 |
| michael__ | thats why i like it when the latest is already compiled i just install it. | 19:09 |
| bazhang | michael__, and the apt-get system with ubuntu (and debian) is by far the most solid (ie dont want to break it) | 19:09 |
| michael__ | even kubuntu 8.04 don't have the latest of open office | 19:10 |
| michael__ | only 2.4 | 19:10 |
| bazhang | michael__, you can get the ppa for that if you must, though it is not recommended | 19:10 |
| michael__ | i have managed to install all the debians from the open office 3 debian packages. | 19:10 |
| michael__ | and have a fully open office 3 working with debian | 19:11 |
| bazhang | michael__, you are using debian? | 19:11 |
| michael__ | no kubuntu and ubuntu is based on debian | 19:11 |
| michael__ | meaning that you can use debian packages with ubuntu | 19:11 |
| bazhang | but the packaging has some significant differences | 19:11 |
| bazhang | michael__, err no you cant | 19:11 |
| michael__ | ok answer this question, i have manged to install open office 3 | 19:12 |
| michael__ | from openoffice.org | 19:12 |
| michael__ | for debian | 19:12 |
| michael__ | dpkg -i *.deb | 19:12 |
| michael__ | and all installed and the icons are there to. | 19:12 |
| michael__ | so i know somewhat about ubuntu | 19:13 |
| bazhang | not a good idea | 19:13 |
| michael__ | just the trouble is finding the latest debian packages. | 19:13 |
| michael__ | not a good idea | 19:13 |
| michael__ | open office 3 loads without trouble. | 19:13 |
| bazhang | well, for one thing you have gone into unsupported ground | 19:14 |
| bazhang | for another, it wont be updated and may well cause conflicts | 19:14 |
| michael__ | i used apt-get to uninstal the 2.4 office | 19:14 |
| GodKilla- | hey all | 19:15 |
| michael__ | open office 2.4 don't support docx extension so i must use open office 3 | 19:15 |
| bazhang | michael__, apart from the higher number, is there a reason to install the newer packages? | 19:15 |
| GodKilla- | im having problems setting up the internet on a daily image installed 2 days ago | 19:15 |
| GodKilla- | knetworkmanager doesnt have any use at all | 19:15 |
| hyper_ch | michael__: docx shouldn't be supported at all | 19:15 |
| michael__ | yes, new features not found in previous versions. | 19:15 |
| michael__ | docx is a microsoft office 2007 format | 19:16 |
| GodKilla- | using ifconfig i can set it up so i can ping myself and my gateway, but everything else returns "network unreachable" or "unknown host" | 19:16 |
| hyper_ch | michael__: I know what it is | 19:16 |
| michael__ | so when i open a 1.docx in open office 2.4 it does not reconize the extention. | 19:16 |
| genii | We just went through this about pidgin in #kubunt-offtopic .... the 2.5 version is in the -backports and you don't need to compile anything | 19:16 |
| hyper_ch | michael__: and for that reason it shouldn't be used | 19:16 |
| michael__ | open office 3 opens those types of files without trouble. | 19:17 |
| === andrej is now known as uni4dfx | ||
| michael__ | well i am searching the net, because kubuntu and ubuntu, their support groups are just scattered out everywhere. | 19:17 |
| genii | GodKilla-: Can you ping a host at large on the internet by IP only? | 19:17 |
| GodKilla- | no | 19:18 |
| GodKilla- | ive tried with google 66.102.9.104 | 19:18 |
| michael__ | so where i go to get this so called pidgin 2.5 debian package | 19:18 |
| bazhang | michael__, what you are attempting is neither supported nor recommended | 19:18 |
| michael__ | unsupported it is | 19:19 |
| michael__ | i managed to do some things that some people refuse to understand | 19:19 |
| michael__ | is that ubuntu and kubuntu is based on the debian linux distro | 19:19 |
| Pici | michael__: We understand that. | 19:20 |
| Pici | !debian | michael__ | 19:20 |
| ubottu | michael__: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 19:20 |
| michael__ | if you used apt-get, the packages it download is *.deb | 19:20 |
| Pici | michael__: The versioning scheme that debian and ubuntu use are not compatible with each other for one. | 19:20 |
| michael__ | so once i find the latest prebuilt debian package of whatever program i am using is all i need | 19:21 |
| michael__ | one nice thing about debian, once you unistall that package all the files are removed. | 19:21 |
| genii | michael__: a .deb file could be for any system which uses the dpkg system of packaging for applications. It does not mean all .deb files can be used on all debian or debian based systems interchangeably | 19:21 |
| bazhang | michael__, does not sound like you are looking for support | 19:21 |
| michael__ | i ask a simple question, quit with the extra crap and just give me the channel for whatever i am looking for. | 19:22 |
| michael__ | this case is pidgin. | 19:22 |
| genii | michael__: Go to #pidgin then | 19:22 |
| bazhang | michael__, and as this is a support channel, you should go elsewhere | 19:22 |

| bazhang | michael__, that is simply not true | 19:43 |
| bazhang | michael__, please stop saying that here. | 19:43 |
| michael__ | i tried it bazhang | 19:43 |
| michael__ | apt-get and it does not work | 19:43 |
| bazhang | michael__, I have and it works flawlessly. | 19:44 |
| michael__ | i even used apt-get to install firefox 3.04 that is supported and installed it the correct way | 19:44 |
| michael__ | and flash would not work whatssoever | 19:44 |
| michael__ | so i did a manual instal, put all the plugins under firefox/plugins and works | 19:44 |
| _gunni_ | michael__: For me flash over apt-get is working, too. So package cant be broken | 19:44 |
| bazhang | michael__, well considering all the third party packages you have installed then it is no surprise. | 19:44 |
| [Relic] | didn't workmthe first time then on the second run it did | 19:45 |
| michael__ | i don't know why i use apt-get to install firefox 3.04 and flash doesn't want to work | 19:45 |
| michael__ | yet the manual install works without trouble. | 19:45 |
| bazhang | michael__, this is why it is never a good idea to break the package management system | 19:45 |
| michael__ | well i had to break the package management this time | 19:45 |
| bazhang | michael__, no. | 19:45 |
| michael__ | because it simply refused to work | 19:45 |
| michael__ | every computer works different | 19:46 |
| saki | You kids and your silly package management. Back in my day, if we wanted something to run, we had to compile it. | 19:46 |
| bazhang | michael__, what you are doing is neither supported nor recommended, and you have been told this on more than one occasion. | 19:46 |
| michael__ | thank goodness i don't use this for support. | 19:46 |
| bazhang | michael__, indeed you dont | 19:46 |
| bazhang | michael__, and since this is a support channel, you should depart. | 19:47 |
| michael__ | i tried to ask for one issue and everyone keeps giving me the run abouts!. | 19:47 |
| michael__ | come on people, there should be one channel for kubuntu 8.04 and one for 8.10 | 19:48 |
| michael__ | to help keep the distro easy | 19:48 |
| bazhang | !offtopic | michael__ | 19:48 |

| blabla_ | DaSkreech: i was able to recover the most important files from the disk with photorec, testdisk was unable to recover the partition table... but now i have another problem, /home/user is empty and kde crashes after logging in immediately i think because of that(what do you think) it also shows Welcome to localhost.localdomain instead of Welcome to lnetbook(the ttys show Ubuntu 8.10 lnetbook tty* but after i login and logout they also show U | 20:53 |
| blabla_ | localhost.localdomain tty*) what can i do? | 20:53 |
| hellsing | yes bob | 20:53 |
| bob_ | hellsing: mind helping? | 20:54 |

| leigh | i just installed kubuntu on a dell 1420...everything is working pretty good except when i open certain things they are black with some weird lines in them, and than open correctly | 20:55 |
| leigh | this happens with various programs (firefox, and when i just opened up konversation) and with menu's such as file, edit, ect | 20:55 |
| leigh | can anyone help me out? | 20:55 |
| DaSkreech | blabla_: You got back all your files ? | 20:56 |
| hellsing | bob do it with fstab | 20:56 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: Driver bug for compositing | 20:56 |
| leigh | daskreech: no way to fix this for now than? | 20:57 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: turn of compositing ? | 20:57 |
| bob_ | yeah fstab - any idea on the syntax | 20:57 |
| DaSkreech | !fstab | 20:57 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:57 |

| leigh | daskreech: ok thanks | 20:58 |
| blabla_ | DaSkreech: yes but without the correct filenames, i just needed some files an i found everyone of them | 20:58 |
| bob_ | cool, that helps | 20:58 |
| hellsing | bob_ and in pub.cred :username=user | 20:58 |
| hellsing | password=pass | 20:58 |
| leigh | also what is the best way to speed up my pointer? I change the acceleration value in the mouse settings but that seems to give me weird feedback... | 20:59 |
| hellsing | bob_ /etc/samba/pub.cred | 20:59 |
| bob_ | sweet, i've got a project :) | 20:59 |
| hellsing | great | 21:00 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: You can turn it off temporarily with alt+shift+F12 to try stuff out | 21:00 |
| DaSkreech | blabla_: That's good | 21:00 |
| leigh | daskreech: yea that worked...what does compositing do? | 21:01 |
| DaSkreech | leigh: Pretty stuff. | 21:02 |
| leigh | yea i just noticed by cairo-dock has a weird block around it when it's off | 21:02 |
| DaSkreech | I think Cairo dock requires it | 21:02 |
| leigh | cairo still worked...it just didn't look as good | 21:03 |
| leigh | like u said...pretty stuff | 21:03 |

| n4mu | bonjour | 21:24 |
| n4mu | i have a "serious" question . .. | 21:24 |
| n4mu | :] | 21:24 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/86550/ | 21:24 |
| n4mu | i just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 | 21:24 |
| n4mu | and i'm wondering... where is kcontrol nowadays ? | 21:24 |
| n4mu | i'm looking for the "real" kde control panel, not the one with only a few options | 21:25 |
| jussi01 | n4mu: its called system settings | 21:25 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: do you have space on / | 21:25 |
| n4mu | jussi01: yes, but that one only has so many options | 21:25 |
| blabla | there should be >1,5GB | 21:25 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: No one wanted to port kcontrol to KDE4 as soon as someone does so you can have it back | 21:25 |
| ruhaan_jslip | i have a problem with amarok | 21:26 |
| n4mu | DaSkreech: thanks :] | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | where it changes teh name of the song | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | can any1 help? | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | this only happens with 2 albums on my coolection | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | but this problem is not apparent in other players i use | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | help? | 21:26 |
| n4mu | ruhaan_jslip: just wondering, maybe it's just an id tag problem | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | nope | 21:26 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: does there exist a /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ? | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | coz it works fine in other players | 21:26 |
| ruhaan_jslip | like rhythmy box etc | 21:27 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: yes | 21:27 |
| DaSkreech | When was it made ? | 21:27 |
| n4mu | ruhaan_jslip: there are different types of id tags, and a file can have multiple formats | 21:27 |
| ruhaan_jslip | the file is in FLAC | 21:27 |
| ruhaan_jslip | but see the problem is amarok reads the name of the song correct | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | in the pane on the right | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | and even when i add it to playlist its fine | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | but when i play the song | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | the name chnages | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | to one partiucalr song in the whole album | 21:28 |
| n4mu | ruhaan_jslip: i'm just guessing since i've seen files with multiple idtags and the soft will only use one of them. | 21:28 |
| ruhaan_jslip | lemem show u a screenshot | 21:29 |
| n4mu | other than that, i don't know. | 21:29 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: also what does "which xinit" print ? | 21:29 |
| n4mu | otherwise, since there is no kcontrol, i am very very very sad. | 21:30 |
| n4mu | i mean kde4 is like a shock to me | 21:30 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: Xorg.0.log.old: 2008-12-16 and which xinit: /usr/bin/xinit | 21:30 |
| harolddong | I thought beta 2 was supposed to be released today | 21:31 |
| ruhaan_jslip | http://i43.tinypic.com/mtnsw1.png | 21:31 |
| DaSkreech | harolddong: delayed a day | 21:31 |
| n4mu | i liked kde as long as i can mangage to tone it down to something simple yet functionnal.. and now i don't see how to deactivate and customize stuff | 21:31 |
| Danu | Hello, sorry my english is very bad, but i'm having some trouble with kde4, really just one: the screen blink constantly, every 10 seconds | 21:31 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: What do you want to deactivate ? | 21:31 |
| harolddong | thanks | 21:31 |
| n4mu | and the background, it's all weird, i just want a solid color backgroudn.. . | 21:31 |
| DaSkreech | Danu: alt+shift+F12 | 21:32 |
| n4mu | lol Danu that sounds a bit like what i'm getting here too. | 21:32 |
| Danu | Mister DaSkreech thanks, i'll try | 21:32 |
| JontheEchidna | Danu: http://blog.nixternal.com/2008.10.22/kubuntu-intrepid-dual-monitor-blinking/ | 21:33 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: all seems doable so far | 21:33 |
| n4mu | DaSkreech: i have conky running ... :] | 21:33 |
| DaSkreech | ;-) | 21:34 |
| n4mu | so either the background is "grey" like i set (but no visible conky), or is all white and shows conky | 21:34 |
| n4mu | depends if im right cliking or something | 21:34 |
| n4mu | so it's purrty ugly ... :/ | 21:34 |
| Danu | Oh my god mi connection is horrible (128 kbps) it's very unstable :(, sure i'll be gone in seconds | 21:35 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: Good call by Danu | 21:36 |
| n4mu | DaSkreech: ? | 21:36 |
| n4mu | hmm | 21:37 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: How does conky handle compositing ? or does it use fake transparency ? | 21:38 |
| n4mu | anyway, i don't want to be "bashy" at all... i just think that my experience here with 8.10 is just going to "force" me to either revert to 8.04, or xfce, or maybe even just debian/stable.. :] | 21:38 |
| n4mu | DaSkreech: good question | 21:38 |
| n4mu | (all this just to "maybe" be able to launch kdenlive) | 21:40 |
| DaSkreech | n4mu: Hmm ? whats that all about? | 21:40 |
| n4mu | i upgraded because i heard that was needed to run kdenlive | 21:40 |
| n4mu | and kdenlive was just crashing, beit the official ubuntu packages or the "other" | 21:41 |
| n4mu | http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages | 21:42 |

| Daskreec1 | Is there a way to send KDE a logout command over dbus ? | 21:56 |
| Daskreec1 | HI Danu | 21:56 |
| n4mu | omg, really. .. . the more i look into the "update" the more i regret.. .. what happened to my old firefox2 | 21:56 |
| Danu | Hi Mister Daskreec1 | 21:57 |
| n4mu | there isn't even 3, must reinstall. .. : [ | 21:57 |
| n4mu | this is all but smooth.. . | 21:57 |
| Danu | i still have the blink issue | 21:57 |
| Danu | :( | 21:57 |
| n4mu | and now i guess i have to reinstall the whole system to get back what i had this morning | 21:57 |
| Daskreec1 | n4mu: Thre is a Firefox 3 | 21:57 |
| Danu | i've been tryin' almost everything | 21:57 |
| hulk | list | 21:58 |
| Daskreec1 | I think 2 is there as well but Mozilla killed it lastweek so don't expect that much longer | 21:58 |
| n4mu | i had 2 | 21:58 |
| n4mu | but i guess it either was uninstalled and not "upgraded" or something | 21:58 |
| Daskreec1 | On hardy but Mozilla killed all support for it so you would have lost it in the next update in any case | 21:58 |
| cuznt | i am trying to point a device to a jre i get an error message | 21:59 |
| n4mu | anyway, things seem so messed up.. | 21:59 |
| n4mu | twinkle kept it's settings, that's a +1 though | 21:59 |
| Daskreec1 | n4mu: Ah no I remember now Ubuntu did remove Firefox 2 | 22:00 |
| Daskreec1 | There was a big thing about them shipping with a beta Firefox and all | 22:00 |

| Bundestrojaner | is it possible to downgrade to kde 3.5? | 22:01 |
| Danu | Hello Mr Bundestrojaner | 22:01 |
| blabla | Daskreec1: chmod 755 -R * i think (i wanted: ./*) | 22:01 |
| Psi-Jack | Hey, how do I make the digital clock on the kpanel not be in 24 hour time, but in 12hour time? | 22:02 |
| Daskreec1 | blabla: what dir was that done in ? | 22:02 |
| Bundestrojaner | is it possible to downgrade to kde 3.5 in kubuntu 8.10? | 22:02 |

| n4mu | the internal swith (headset) seems to work now | 22:03 |
| Bundestrojaner | Daskreec1: i know^^ how can i do this? | 22:03 |
| Daskreec1 | Bundestrojaner: Check the ubuntu forums for KDE3 ibex PPA | 22:03 |
| Daskreec1 | Be careful about which repos you add some people have packaged KDE3 in a way that will miss up your computer | 22:04 |
| Bundestrojaner | which ubuntu forums? | 22:04 |
| zce | how can i stop knetworkmanager from starting? i want to use only gnome's one | 22:04 |
| n4mu | Daskreec1: i'm just very used to debian, this is my first "real" experience with (k)ubuntu, my first "dist-upgrade" | 22:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Bleh, I actually hate gnome's network manager. | 22:04 |
| Bundestrojaner | there must be millions of ubuntu-forums on the net | 22:04 |
| zce | althought i love kde, i hate knetworkmanager :P | 22:05 |
| n4mu | whereas with debian i never had any real issues since woody, on either servers or desk/lap-tops ... (well of course the upgrades come every 10 years.. :] ) | 22:05 |
| Psi-Jack | zce: Why? Just curious. I hate that a WIRED network connection, gnome's nm-applet constantly tells you it's connected. | 22:05 |
| Daskreec1 | n4mu: I'll give this to Debian the long periods of testing help a lot | 22:06 |

| Daskreec1 | n4mu: Welcome to consumer marketing where you bleed from the stable releases :) | 22:08 |
| Bundestrojaner | btw: the reason why i want to downgrade is: i have Kubuntu 8.10 on my eeepc | 22:08 |
| Bundestrojaner | if i play a video, it "stops" every 5 seconds for a half second | 22:08 |
| Daskreec1 | lol | 22:08 |
| n4mu | Daskreec1: yah :]] | 22:08 |
| Bundestrojaner | if i start mplayer on blackbox, there's no problem | 22:08 |
| Daskreec1 | Bundestrojaner: Hmm yeah check the ubuntuforums | 22:08 |
| Daskreec1 | !forums | In case ya missed it Bundestrojaner | 22:09 |
| ubottu | In case ya missed it Bundestrojaner: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 22:09 |
| Daskreec1 | n4mu: Overall it's nice but you do strongly start to feel that you should have two machines with ubuntu | 22:09 |
| Daskreec1 | One to be stable and one to keep up since it seems like you have a month or two of being comfortable before it upgrade time again | 22:10 |
| Bundestrojaner | Daskreec1: are you a bot who says "check ubuntuforums"? | 22:10 |
| n4mu | Daskreec1: i'm going to see what i can this evening with this 8.10, because sound issues where starting to become important, and here it now works (okay, everything else is a bit broken :] ) and then i'll go back to good old debian prolly... | 22:11 |
| Bundestrojaner | i searched on google for the problem | 22:11 |
| Bundestrojaner | i found nothing | 22:11 |
| Bundestrojaner | that's why i ask here | 22:11 |
| n4mu | Bundestrojaner: maybe don't search on google, but search on ubuntuforums ? | 22:11 |
| Bundestrojaner | i also searched there - nothing | 22:12 |
| n4mu | ah. | 22:12 |
| Bundestrojaner | there are results about problems with flash-videos | 22:12 |
| Daskreec1 | n4mu: ok well have a list of issues written down Likely some of the m are easily resolved | 22:12 |
| n4mu | then i cannot say, i just upgraded too, but i'm not even to the point of testing videos | 22:12 |
| Bundestrojaner | i also made a analysis of the problem: | 22:13 |
| Bundestrojaner | the most strange thing is, that the video player takes only 25% of cpu-power | 22:13 |
| n4mu | Daskreec1: okay | 22:13 |
| Bundestrojaner | so i have no idea what the problem is | 22:14 |
| Bundestrojaner | but it works with mplayer on blackbox | 22:14 |
| Bundestrojaner | so the problem is somewhere in kde 4.1 and it's not a too slow cpu | 22:14 |

| jussi01 | loldude: please behave! | 22:17 |
| Daskreec1 | Bundestrojaner: why don't you just use mplayer in KDE4 ? | 22:18 |
| loldude | ahhh i feel better now | 22:18 |
| loldude | thz plastic bag dude | 22:18 |
| Psi-Jack | Or better yet, VLC, which is by far, better than mplayer. | 22:18 |
| Bundestrojaner | Bundestrojaner: i tried mplayer, kmplayer, kaffeine,... | 22:19 |
| Bundestrojaner | every program has the same problem | 22:19 |
| Bundestrojaner | that's why i think, kde4 is the problem | 22:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Bundestrojaner: Okay, you may've done this before. | 22:19 |
| Bundestrojaner | and it works on blackbox | 22:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Bundestrojaner: But what is the problem? | 22:19 |
| loldude | poop tastes good just like kandy | 22:20 |
| Bundestrojaner | every 5 Seconds the Video "stops" for a half second | 22:20 |
| Psi-Jack | Geez. | 22:20 |

| Psi-Jack | Bundestrojaner: If that solves your problem, it will be related to it, which could be your video drivers or options/extensions related to your video drivers. | 22:23 |

| csc_ | i would like to know where i can find a working usplash screen after grub starts for replacing the actual "xubuntu". i tried many but they either have other "ubuntu" text logos or do not support every resolution like the default one. please help | 22:42 |
| DaSkreech | holycow: Being ported almost done needs testers #kpilot to apply | 22:42 |
| qcjn | DaSkreech: i don't think this was the problem, at first..cause there was something to install and i couldn't even type the pasword, so you suggested me to kwin --replace..if i remember well,,,then my computer crashed | 22:42 |

| antiroach | DaSkreech, how can i do that ? | 22:53 |
| antiroach | i cant find any place where to configure the way kde 4.1 looks | 22:54 |

| antiroach | no more kcontrol? | 22:54 |

| antiroach | ActionParsnip, yeah except its pretty skimpy on configuration options | 22:57 |
| cuznt | alt+space is closer | 22:57 |
| cuznt | not as far a reach... | 22:57 |
| cuznt | im old and arthritic ya know.... | 22:57 |

| antiroach | its not in the default repos | 23:03 |
| Danu | i turn off all the efects (i have a SiS anyway) i also did the Services thing and nothing :( | 23:04 |

| antiroach | Danu, what blink ? | 23:05 |
| Danu | in the screen | 23:05 |

| Danu | i don't know how say it :( | 23:06 |

| kalorin | like right now I'm uploading pictures to shutterfly via their java applet thing, and it's basically locked all the instances that are firefox | 23:06 |
| Danu | is like what stars do | 23:06 |
| Danu | a blink | 23:06 |
| antiroach | are you talking about when you click on an application | 23:06 |
| Danu | and the screen suddenly go black sometimes | 23:06 |
| Danu | No | 23:06 |
| antiroach | it has a little icon by the mouse and it jumps around | 23:06 |
| kalorin | I can't flip between tabs, in iether window that's firefox | 23:06 |
| kalorin | just strange feeling | 23:07 |
| Danu | it's every ten seconds | 23:07 |
| antiroach | oh weird, that doesnt happen to me | 23:07 |
| kalorin | yes, they're big images but still | 23:07 |
| antiroach | how can i get rid of the 'popups' that occur when you drag your mouse over a tab in the task bar | 23:07 |
| Danu | i turn off all the efects (i have a SiS anyway) i also did the Services thing and nothing :( | 23:07 |
| kalorin | top says it's using 4% of a CPU and it's a dual core | 23:07 |
| kalorin | w/ 4 gb of ram | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Danu: set a lower refresh rate | 23:08 |
| kalorin | just doesn't seem to thread right or something | 23:08 |
| Danu | Mr ActionParsnip how? | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Danu: xorg.conf maybe or nvidia settings if yuo use nvidia | 23:09 |

| antiroach | haha michael good question! | 23:26 |
| antiroach | cashew lol | 23:26 |
| michael | i love kde 4.1 but the cachew on the upper right hand corner of the screen gotta go. | 23:26 |
| antiroach | ya its really dumb | 23:27 |
| DaSkreech | michael: Run a containment that doesn't have it | 23:27 |
| antiroach | uh oh how do i get the plasma panel back | 23:27 |

| DaSkreech | michael: Why is it annoying? | 23:29 |
| robinr | driving you nuts? :) | 23:30 |
| michael | because it already on the taskbar by the koo koo clock , i don't need it on the desktop | 23:30 |
| DaSkreech | michael: They do different things | 23:30 |
| michael | you can do the same thing by going to add widgits, | 23:31 |
| DaSkreech | but you can't zoom activites | 23:31 |
| michael | and kde 3.5 don';t have it, so there anyway of removing it from the desktop. | 23:31 |
| michael | don't need zoom or any fancy things i just want it gone for good. | 23:31 |
| DaSkreech | michael: In future you can just swap your desktop for one that doens't have it | 23:31 |
| michael | i am not going to get involved with adding desktops and this and that, and all the detail | 23:32 |
| michael | there has to be one simple file you delete using sudo and it goes bye byes | 23:32 |
| DaSkreech | michael: The desktop :) | 23:33 |
