[00:00] <OxDeadC0de> sudo updatedb; locate *.desktop
[00:00] <epimeth> heh
[00:00] <epimeth> kay
[00:01] <guiterb> hello
[00:01] <guiterb> good morning
[00:02] <epimeth> OxDeadC0de: too many...
[00:02] <epimeth> guiterb: good evening :-)
[00:02] <OxDeadC0de> epimeth add | grep KDE  (or grep kde, try both)
[00:02] <OxDeadC0de> locate *.desktop | grep kde for example
[00:03] <OxDeadC0de> or try one you know exists, locate konqueror.desktop (Did I spell that wrong? :P)
[00:03] <guiterb> :-)
[00:03] <epimeth> OxDeadC0de: I already did, that covers almost all of them...
[00:03] <epimeth> I'm not so sure that they are saved as .desktop files....
[00:03] <guiterb> what time ?
[00:04] <epimeth> 1904
[00:04] <OxDeadC0de> - /usr/share/kde4/services/konqueror.desktop
[00:04] <epimeth> - /usr/share/applications seems to have alot, too
[00:05] <OxDeadC0de> yup :)
[00:05] <edi_99> Hi guys does anyone know how to set recording from mic in Audacity?
[00:05] <OxDeadC0de> so locate the one you want to add, locate amarok.desktop , then you can add it as an "icon"
[00:05] <epimeth> done it already, thanks :-)
[00:06] <DasKreech> epimeth: All plasmoids that hold something are ccontainers
[00:06] <DasKreech> epimeth: Like the desktop, Folder view or the panel. They are all containers
[00:08] <OxDeadC0de> Multi-row task manager is really cool ^^
[00:08] <DasKreech> aviz: I've done it
[00:08] <epimeth> so the extender lets you add more widgets to a container?
[00:09] <OxDeadC0de> DasKreech since all plasmoids are software written in an object oriented world and at the base are Plasma::Applet's, wouldn't that make all plasmoids containers of applets at the very base that contain other things like controls dialogs a calander, etc
[00:09] <DasKreech> bandit_: Whoot!
[00:10] <DasKreech> mn: passwd from the command line or change passwrod from about me in system settings
[00:11] <DasKreech> hi guiterb
[00:11] <DasKreech> OxDeadC0de: Well done :)
[00:12] <mn> snap.  i am cleaning out my system and I am deleting files, and now nothing can open.  If i try it says: "No protocol specified      Error: cannot open display:  :0.0   What did i delete that I shouldn't have?
[00:15] <guiterb> ] <DasKreech> hi!
[00:15] <DasKreech> mn: Something to do with X
[00:16] <mn> DasKreech: that's what I guessed but I don't think I did.  I can't open trash:// right now though :(
[00:21] <edi_99> Hi, how do I tell Audacity that I want to record something through mic?
[00:21] <DasKreech> edi_99: point it at the source I would assume
[00:22] <edi_99> DasKreech: how do I do that, I'm completely lost I
[00:22] <DasKreech> edi_99: So am I #audacity and #ubuntustudio are more likely to get you useful info
[00:22] <edi_99> DasKreech: thanks
[00:25] <master__> I cannot seem to play the video here: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr
[00:25] <master__> What do I need to install?

[00:30] <eagles0513875> hi DasKreech
[00:31] <DasKreech> Hi eagles0513875
[00:31] <eagles0513875> merry xmas
[00:31] <eagles0513875> DasKreech: you in offtopic
[00:31] <HappySmileMan> I'm gonna go then since it's like 12:30 here
[00:31] <DasKreech> nope and going offline soon
[00:32] <HappySmileMan> Merry Christmas
[00:32] <eagles0513875> alright guys merry xmas
[00:32] <DasKreech> Where soon == now
[00:32] <eagles0513875> lol
[00:32] <mn> daskreech: could this have been cause by deleting something to do with orbit?
[00:33] <DasKreech> What's orbit?
[00:35] <hang3r> is there a kasteriods package in kubuntu?
[00:36] <mn> DasKreech: I have no idea, but it said something about it in terminal
[00:37] <hang3r> arg what on earth ever happened to kasteroids, the greatest kde game ever created
[00:38] <mn> DasKreech:  Ooo, I have no idea what I did, but it broke my system.  There are 68 packages to remove when I sudo apt-get autoremove and those are all of the ones I want to keep.  ill just do a reinstall
[00:45] <jason_> Hey guys need help with a Miro issue
[00:45] <jason_> Well, it's not an issue
[00:45] <jason_> There's this youtube channel (ndtitanlady) that I want to add to Miro but I can't find the RSS link
[00:45] <jason_> Anyone know where I can find it?
[00:46] <Ghoul> whoa, what a surprise; installed latest kubuntu intrepid; slick stuff
[00:47] <DasKreech> Ghoul: Lookit the topic. Install KDE 4.2 :)
[00:48] <eagles0513875> DasKreech: hows 4.2 turning out
[00:49] <DasKreech> eagles0513875: Slicker
[00:49] <eagles0513875> really
[00:49] <DasKreech> root: Don't IRC as root!
[00:49] <eagles0513875> would like to try it but dont wanna since i have my entire instlal apt-built
[00:49] <jason_> I have 4.1, how do I update to 4.2?
[00:50] <DasKreech> jason_:4.2 isn't out yet
[00:50] <OxDeadC0de> i'm finding a lot of bugs, but it's usually in "weird" things, comics was bad,.. but plasma will crash if you drop a folderview onto the panel :P, don't do that
[00:50] <DasKreech> 4.2 Beta is out and it's in the topic
[00:50] <DasKreech> OxDeadC0de: Didn't crash with me
[00:50] <DasKreech> just looked really bad
[00:50] <OxDeadC0de> what did, the folder view on plasma?
[00:50] <OxDeadC0de> er, on the panel
[00:50] <jason_> Ah ok, I rather not deal with anything Beta right now
[00:53] <eagles0513875> 4.2 is due out in january
[00:53] <eagles0513875> right DasKreech
[00:54] <DasKreech> yes
[01:15] <OxDeadC0de> if I want to compile and install kde from svn trunk to check out the latest, what packages should I remove from kubuntu to make sure nothing conflicts but keep everything I have (if that makes sense)?
[01:16] <Tm_T> OxDeadC0de: none
[01:16] <OxDeadC0de> Tm_T but when the kubuntu repo's update some package, it will install over the one I install
[01:16] <Tm_T> no
[01:17] <Tm_T> unless you install your build that way
[01:17] <Tm_T> but that's not how you usually do these days with KDE trunk
[01:17] <OxDeadC0de> no? I planned on installing it over the existing release to keep everything mostly the same, and setup a cron job to svn update, compile, and install
[01:17] <Tm_T> nah, no need to install over
[01:18] <OxDeadC0de> got any links detailing it? :P
[01:18] <Tm_T> sure, techbase.kde.org somewhere
[01:18]  * Tm_T has no browser available
[01:18] <OxDeadC0de> but I wanted to install over because space is at a premium for me
[01:18] <Tm_T> then I recommend not to build if you have any doubts
[01:19] <OxDeadC0de> bah, building is much more fun
[01:58] <White_Pelican> kinda quiet in here
[01:59] <White_Pelican> in kde 4.2 under intrepid, I notice that the (what I call the) taskbar is now blue. I also noticed that when you do mouse overs on the icons, it's white text on a black background.  How od I change that?
[01:59] <White_Pelican> do*
[02:06] <White_Pelican> anyone here?
[02:35]  * wet Cadas personas, Feliz Navidad!
[02:36] <ralpho> police navidad
[02:38] <mromblad> so any reason off the top of your heads that 2 days after installing kubuntu 10.1 and getting it all setup, it wont boot properly. it starts up, but instead of a login page, i get a black screen with what looks like outlined boxes
[02:38] <mromblad> <- total noob at linux, and i searched online with no avail
[02:38] <Tm_T> mromblad: there's no Kubuntu 10.1
[02:39] <mromblad> er
[02:39] <mromblad> 8.10
[02:39] <mromblad> sorry
[02:39] <Tm_T> :-P
[02:39] <mromblad> freudian type. i was just putting a 10.1 firmware on my cell phone
[02:40] <mromblad> ive read about no screen period, white screen, no text only images, but none of the solutions work for my issue
[02:40] <Tm_T> mromblad: what kind of display driver you have?
[02:41] <mromblad> i use a nvidia geforce fx 5500
[02:41] <mromblad> if thats the answer, again im a bit of a n00b when it comes to computers and linux poarticularly, but i wanted to give it a try
[02:42] <mromblad> a couple issues i found had solutions, while the others just said to reinstall the OS
[02:42] <mromblad> i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that right after setting it all up. hehe
[02:42] <mromblad> i think it did happen after i enabled the auto login via settings
[02:43] <Tm_T> hummmm
[02:43] <mromblad> also, i have rebooted no issue before this, but i cant remember if i ever rebooted after switching the option
[02:43] <mromblad> if not, then that might be the issue
[02:47] <vignesh> Heya all
[03:33] <ssy> HI
[03:44] <bandit_> remind me again how to install software...
[03:44] <bandit_> like for instance the latest flash player
[03:49] <Dragnslcr> !flash
[03:50] <bandit_> ok thanks
[03:52] <bandit_> is it possible to do through spt-get?
[03:53] <bandit_> apt-get*
[03:53] <Dragnslcr> Of course
[03:53] <bandit_> it says package not found
[03:53] <bandit_> as I've tried
[03:54] <Dragnslcr> You have to enable multiverse
[03:55] <bandit_> so how do I do it?
[04:12] <bandit_> anyone that can help me?

[05:43] <Eruaran> sidney: on the first tab "Devices"
[05:43] <hendershot> its sweet
[05:44] <Eruaran> Under "Sound Events" what does it say ?
[05:45] <sidney> audigy1 sb0090 rev .3
[05:45] <Eruaran> ok
[05:45] <sidney> not connected
[05:46] <Eruaran> sidney: Is this correct ? (has Ubuntu identified your sound card correctly)
[05:46] <essial> how do you set the icon bar to only show icons from the current desktop?
[05:46] <sidney> yes but it says it's not connected
[05:46] <Eruaran> hmm
[05:49] <Eruaran> sidney: I'm looking into it for you
[05:49] <sidney> k
[05:56] <Eruaran> !audigy
[05:57] <sidney>  audigy yes
[05:57] <hendershot> Sysinfo for 'Hendershot-desktop': Linux 2.6.27-7-generic running KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), CPU: VIASamuel2 at 700 MHz (1403 bogomips), HD: 2/11GB, RAM: 303/367MB, 109 proc's, 15.48h up
[05:58] <Eruaran> sidney: you only have the one sound card ?
[05:58] <sidney> there is onboard also
[05:58] <Eruaran> ok
[05:59] <Eruaran> make sure they are not both enabled
[05:59] <Eruaran> (but if its working fine in Windows then the onboard is prolly disbled anyway)
[06:02] <Eruaran> sidney: can you open up a terminal and type "lspci -v " then hit enter
[06:03] <sidney> it's using the via drivers
[06:03] <Eruaran> does it show the audigy ?
[06:04] <sidney> it dosent show audigy
[06:04] <Eruaran> ok
[06:05] <Eruaran> It appears to be trying to use the VIA sound chipset and not the Audigy
[06:06] <Eruaran> I'm not sure if this is a Pulseaudio problem or if you just need to make sure the VIA sound is disabled in your BIOS
[06:06] <sidney> i will check the bios
[06:06] <Eruaran> ok

[07:29] <liz__> Hi all, How can I get kubuntu hardy to remember my wireless settings? I always have to put down all my info
[07:39] <ssral> hello
[07:46] <sidney> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  how do i do this
[07:46] <sidney> i cant update
[07:49] <diego> hola
[07:53] <Crell> Hi all.  I have an Intrepid system, on which I have the openjdk-6-jdk package installed.  I do not have a JAVA_HOME configured, however, which is blocking Tomcat from running.  1) What should JAVA_HOME be set to for that JDK?  2) Should I switch to sun-java6-jdk instead, since that's the standard and is now open source-friendly?
[08:00] <guiterb> don't konw
[08:01] <Crell> nm, found it.  At least the answer to #1. :-)
[08:01] <Crell> In entirely unrelated news, however, are there any known issues with Flash 10 on Konqueror in Intrepid?  The flash plugin seems to load, but nothing ever shows.
[08:11] <aviz> does anybody know how to make the web cam work in ubuntu

[09:10] <arty> hi all
[09:11] <arty> how to best resize 10gb disk to linux
[09:11] <arty> 512mb swap
[09:11] <arty> and / and /home have much pls
[09:15] <arty> heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp pls
[09:16] <dr_willis> live gparted cd is handy...
[09:17] <dr_willis> clarify the exact disk layout perhaps?
[09:17] <arty> ouki but have much I must to give to / and to /home
[09:20] <dr_willis> depends on your needs.
[09:21] <arty> it is server
[09:21] <dr_willis>  i dont see a need for 2 partitions on that small a hard drive.
[09:21] <dr_willis> you are dual booting with windows? or what exactly?
[09:21] <arty> no
[09:21] <arty> only linux
[09:22] <dr_willis> then 9.5 gb for / and 512mb for swap..  at least...
[09:22] <arty> so I need to create / and /swap
[09:22] <arty> ouki thx a lot
[09:22] <dr_willis> a swap partition is NOT mounted.
[09:22] <arty> so I dont need create /home
[09:22] <dr_willis> let the installer do it all automatically..
[09:22] <dr_willis> no need for a /home unless you want a /home
[09:23] <arty> If i do automatically they create me some patititon to I dont understand an d for / IIt give me just 5gb
[09:24] <dr_willis> From what i recall it made me a / and then  swap. and that was it..
[09:24] <dr_willis> unless you want to clarify a bit what the auto-setup did?
[09:25] <dr_willis> It did put swap on a logical partition i recall..    I think last i did a auto-partion ----->   sda1  = /       sda5 = swap
[09:31] <arty> thw m8
[09:34] <Enselic> I'm trying to build Konversation (Qt3) from SVN with --prefix=/opt/konversation but I get an error that says I need the KDE headers in that prefix. Any quick pointers how how to install them there?
[09:34] <guiterb> all
[10:13] <nick__> hello. i am the only person who is using this machine, i am the physical owner of it, is there a way to stop getting errors saying that "you cannot change this file because you are not the owner"?
[10:14] <nick__> or is there a way to log on as the owner everytime
[10:14] <Enselic> nick__: yes, make you the owner
[10:14] <nick__> how
[10:14] <Enselic> nick__: chown
[10:14] <Enselic> "change owner"
[10:15] <Enselic> recursively
[10:15] <nick__> could you explain how
[10:15] <Enselic> sudo chown youruser:youruser -R /home/someotheruser    something like that
[10:16] <nick__> so i just type this code into the konsole
[10:16] <dr_willis> learn to use sudo and  the system properly.. You sort of sound like you want to 'DISABLE all the security'  - wich is a bad idea
[10:16] <dr_willis> of coruse it depends on wha tfiles you are refering to.
[10:17] <nick__> not really.. specifically what i want to do is add an option to xorg.conf file to keep effects alive
[10:17] <dr_willis> if you wan tto alter system  (not in the users home) files.. then its a VERY good idea to learn the proper use of 'sudo' and other commands to alter them
[10:17] <dr_willis> what option in xorg.conf ?
[10:17] <dr_willis> xorg.conf = system file.. Use 'sudo' or its kin to proplery alter the file.
[10:17] <Enselic> nick__: then you should not change the owner, just edit the file as root (using gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[10:18] <nick__> thank you thank you!
[10:18] <nick__> i have tried all night to find that one line of code
[10:19] <Enselic> :P
[10:19] <dr_willis> Hmm... linux FUNDAMENTALS
[10:19] <dr_willis> :)
[10:19] <nick__> much appreciated
[10:19] <dr_willis> of course if youare on KDE then its not gksudo gedit.....
[10:19] <dr_willis> ;)
[10:19] <dr_willis> !sudo
[10:19] <dr_willis> !kdesudo
[10:19] <Enselic> oops, right
[10:20] <nick__> so if i am running kde and gnome, i should do one for both?
[10:20] <nick__> or would one do the trick
[10:20] <dr_willis> either
[10:20] <nick__> ok, great.
[10:20] <nick__> thank you for help
[10:20] <dr_willis> think about what you jsut said.. :) KDE and gnome BOTH use X..  they dont have theior own xorg.conf files
[10:20] <dr_willis> linux runs X, X runs KDE/Gnome ... those run the apps...
[10:21] <nick__> ..sorry i am only a few months in
[10:21] <dr_willis> Linux is all about 'Layers' :)
[10:21] <dr_willis> Layers of 'legos' building layers that other blocks of software use.
[10:21] <dr_willis> Legos and Layers  and Linux. Oh My :)
[10:21] <nick__> i just switched here from linux mint, and its a little more secure i believe
[10:22] <dr_willis> Mint has some extra tools and other fetures.. its ok. but i dont use it any more
[10:22] <nick__> lol why not?
[10:22] <dr_willis> theres nothing that Mint does. that i cant get done  in ubuntu/kubuntu myself.
[10:22] <dr_willis> and i dont care for some of the things mint does by default
[10:22] <nick__> hmm .. well, i suppose i should spend a little more time with practice, huh?
[10:23] <dr_willis> I dont need the FOrtune command in the terminal .bashrc. and i do NOT need a 'gui' tool just to 'disable the fortune command (not reccomended)'
[10:23] <dr_willis> Mint focuses on too many trivial things..  they should be working on things that  a normal ubuntu user can easially install/use / Not working on yet-another-ubuntu-spinoff/variant.
[10:23] <nick__> well, again, thank you for the support, and im sure you will hear from me soon

[11:09] <marcin105p> how can i change in my sound card jacks for example i want that black is front and orange rear
[11:09] <marcin105p> is it posible?
[11:10] <anirban> Hi I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and it is working flawlessly on my AMD 64 3200
[11:10] <anirban> also installed amarok2 and find that there is no equalizer setting for it
[11:10] <anirban> is there any hack to get the equalizer back
[11:12] <marcin105p>  default setings are green to front i dont want green for front beacose in green works only left sound chan
[11:29] <Mamarok> anirban: no, as an equlizer would have to be handled by Phonon and it's not implemented there yet, so you have to wait
[11:32] <spoonman> test
[11:32] <spoonman> :o
[11:38] <anirban> ok Mamarok
[11:38] <Mamarok> :)
[11:39] <anirban> it is not even in SVN I suppose
[11:46] <Mamarok> anirban: no, it's not, you must wait till it's implemented by phonon
[11:46] <Mamarok> you could ask the phonon guys
[11:50] <asasj> hallo
[11:51] <asasj> i have proplem with the resolution of my kubuntu
[11:52] <asasj> i am new user
[11:52] <jussi01> asasj: which graphics card?
[11:52] <asasj> nvidia
[11:52] <hocem> hello everyone
[11:53] <jussi01> asasj: have you installed the drivers with system - hardware drivers?
[11:53] <asasj> max resolution 800x600
[11:54] <asasj> i did not install it
[11:54] <jussi01> asasj: that could help a lot ;)
[11:54] <hocem> I have a question: why letters appear very big when I log into ubuntu? ..how can i make them small?
[11:54] <asasj> how can i
[11:55] <jussi01> asasj: as I just said...go to the manu, then system, then hardware drivers.... ;)
[11:56] <hocem> letters apperas biger than the rectangle
[11:56] <hocem> i think it is an error
[11:56] <jussi01> hocem: on the login screen? or where?
[11:57] <hocem> yes on the login screen
[11:57] <asasj> now i have two drivers version 173 and 90 , he ask me to activate one of them
[11:58] <jussi01> asasj: which one does it recomend?
[11:59] <hocem> i found the same problem when i installed google earth on mandriva 2008
[11:59] <asasj> 173
[11:59] <hocem> the window appears larger than the screen
[11:59] <jussi01> asasj: Id go with the recommended one... ;)
[11:59] <hocem> i have to reset the pc
[12:01] <asasj> now i have msg saied you need to restart the computer to act
[12:02] <hocem> no one to help me!!
[12:02] <asasj> i will restart now
[12:04] <dr_willis> hocem,  perhaps clarify the problem a bit more.. and if its UBUNTU you are using and not Kubuntu. Youmay want to ask in #ubuntu
[12:08] <asasj> now every thing is biger, the max resolution is 640x480
[12:09] <asasj> first was better
[12:10] <asasj> 800x600
[12:10] <asasj> what can i do now
[12:11] <dr_willis> Sounds like you need to setup the proper video card drivers. so you get the proper resolution for your system
[12:13] <asasj> what is the proper video card drivers and how i get it?
[12:13] <dr_willis> I have no idea what your video card is.. - we need to knwo that :)
[12:13] <asasj> nvidia
[12:14] <dr_willis> !nvidia
[12:14] <dr_willis> depending on the nvidia card. I normally run that jockey-kde tool and let it install the drivers. restart. then perhaps instal/run the nvidia-settings tool to tweak the display some
[12:15] <jussi01> dr_willis: I just advised him to install the 173 driver through jockey, which he has
[12:16] <dr_willis> ive noticed ith some vga monitor connections they dont get the res correct.  Ive had to tweak a few systms with nvidia-settings
[12:19] <asasj> this is my card nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE] (rev a1)
[12:20] <dr_willis> asasj,  if you have the drivers installed.. that  jockey-kde  tool should now say they are in use..  check to see that they are being used first  is a good idea
[12:22] <asasj> how can i know
[12:22] <dr_willis> jockey-kde  tool should now say they are in use
[12:22] <dr_willis> run the tool.. look at what it says
[12:24] <asasj> yes now i know that the driver is activated and in use
[12:24] <dr_willis> Then try install/running that nvidia-settings tool to tweak the resolution - if its still incorrect.
[12:24] <dr_willis> This is a DVI or VGA monitor connection?
[12:25] <dr_willis> You are NOT using a KVM switch are you?
[12:25] <asasj> i am new user , sorry for this ques. what is KVM?
[12:26] <dr_willis> KVM = a multi-monitor/keyboard/machine switch. that can goof things up.
[12:26] <dr_willis> if you dont have 2 pc's shareing the same moniotr/keyboard/mouse - im guessing you dont have one. :)
[12:26] <asasj> no  i do not
[12:28] <asasj> nvidia-settings tool  have max resolution 640x480
[12:28] <dr_willis> Then theres some deeper issue going on..
[12:29] <dr_willis> You may want to check the forums for that specific card.  the # 5700 sees to remind me of others with issues with that card
[12:29] <asasj> i am ready

[13:10] <Salze_> That depends on what you want to enable. You need to remove the comments (#) on those lines you like to enable. There should be comments as to what each line means.

[15:08] <Dragnslcr> Is there any reason you're using a console instead of Adept?
[15:09] <sidney> Dragnslcr: there was a broken file i think it said
[15:09] <hendershot> Dragnslcr: using the konsole is the easiest and the simplest way fo new users
[15:09] <hendershot> to insall things

[16:42] <epimeth> I think some packages are broken...
[16:43] <Mamarok> epimeth: which beta are you talking of?
[16:43] <epimeth> http://pastebin.com/m181ec18
[16:44] <epimeth> Mamarok: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2
[16:45] <Mamarok> epimeth: you might have to override them, but strangely they installed fine here, do you have unusual fonts installed?
[16:46] <epimeth> Mamarok: nothing... the problem seems to be with the system settings package
[16:47] <epimeth> and windowmanager
[16:47] <epimeth> both of which "Cannot be authenticated"
[16:47] <Mamarok> well, authentication doesn't exist for ppa repos anyway, that's not the problem
[16:48] <Mamarok> epimeth: did you try apt-get install -f ?
[16:48] <epimeth> nope... I'll do that now
[16:50] <sidney> how do i find the name of my sound drivers the card is an audigy2
[16:51] <Mamarok> !audio
[16:51] <epimeth> Mamarok: I did install -f and then update and upgarde... same problem
[16:51] <Mamarok> epimeth: do you have backports enabled?
[16:51] <epimeth> yes
[16:52] <Mamarok> ok, then you have to override them, minute, I give you the actuall command
[16:52] <minus18_pundit> what is jigdo? how far it differs from other downloading method?
[16:52] <epimeth> I have to disable backports? :-(
[16:53] <epimeth> minus18_pundit: jigdo downloads all of the files of the iso individually and puts them together.  it is better if you have a problematic connection because you can "continue" the download instead of having to start the iso from the begining
[16:54] <Mamarok> epimeth: what?
[16:54] <Mamarok> who said that?
[16:54] <epimeth> Mamarok: I've used jigdo... thats what it does
[16:55] <Mamarok> epimeth: I didn't say you have to disable backports
[16:55] <minus18_pundit> what is best jigdi client?
[16:56] <epimeth> oh lol.... I thought you meant about jigdo!  I assumed you meant "override enabling backports"
[16:56] <epimeth> Mamarok: but I see now that you just meant some packages
[16:56] <Mamarok> epimeth: sudo dpkg --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/systemsettings_4%3a4.1.85-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb
[16:56] <epimeth> minus18_pundit: there is no "best"  just use whichever you can find
[16:57] <Mamarok> epimeth: and the same for your other package
[16:57] <epimeth> Mamarok: awesome... thanks!  I'm trying it now
[16:58] <epimeth> Mamarok: dpkg: need an action option
[16:59] <Mamarok> oh, forgot the -i after dpkg, sry :)
[16:59] <epimeth> kay
[17:00] <minus18_pundit> which one should i use? at least give me some suggestions. i need GUI client
[17:01] <epimeth> heh... he *needs* a GUI client... does one even exist?
[17:03] <epimeth> Mamarok: looks like it worked... thanks!
[17:03] <Mamarok> :)
[17:04] <epimeth> I'll know for sure in like 5 minutes...
[17:05] <epimeth> I was using the kde-nightly from neon, but now that its beta2 I figured I'd give the "semi-official" repo a try
[17:05] <epimeth> because the nightly is definitely very stable
[17:05] <epimeth> and I figure the beta 2 will be as well
[17:07] <epimeth> restarting... bbs
[17:16] <epimeth> Mamarok: well... plasma crashed
[17:16] <epimeth> but besides that seems like everything is fine....
[17:16] <Tupac_Shakur> Merry Christmas y'all
[17:17] <epimeth> you too!
[17:23] <Mamarok> epimeth: I also had a few plasma chrashes, depends on the widgets, the comic widget makes plasma crash for me
[17:24] <Mamarok> Tupac_Shakur: ditto :)
[17:24] <Tupac_Shakur> ?
[17:25] <Tupac_Shakur> and happy new year
[17:27] <Tupac_Shakur> 4 all
[17:30] <Mamarok> Tupac_Shakur: "ditto" means "same to you" :)
[17:31] <Tupac_Shakur> ok :) tnx
[17:37] <hocem> hello
[17:38] <Tupac_Shakur> hi
[17:39] <hocem> I'm working on ubuntu8 i double clicked on a song...it plays without the player...how can i control the situation?
[17:40] <Mamarok> hocem: look at the system tray, is there a howling wolf?
[17:40] <hocem> no
[17:40] <hocem> i know what ou talk about
[17:41] <Mamarok> hocem: you should start Amarok and play your songs from there
[17:41] <p_quarles> hocem: in what program did you doube-click the song file?
[17:41] <p_quarles> double-click, even
[17:42] <hocem> when i passed a few time the cursor on a file it plays
[17:42] <hocem> then i double clicked
[17:42] <hocem> then it playes
[17:43] <Mamarok> hocem: as I said, if you want to control your music playing, start Amarok
[17:43] <hocem> i found it very amazing ubuntu
[17:43] <Mamarok> hocem: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[17:43] <p_quarles> hocem: that doesn't answer my question
[17:44] <p_quarles> hocem: you need to state the problem more clearly, or no one is going to be able to offer useful advice
[17:44] <hocem> ubuntu
[17:44] <p_quarles> that's not a program
[17:44] <hocem> i use totem
[17:44] <p_quarles> ah, sorry
[17:44] <p_quarles> hocem: you're in the wrong channel; this is #kubuntu
[17:44] <hocem> ok i opened totem and i found the song already playing
[17:45] <hocem> how can i change the channel?
[17:45] <p_quarles> hocem: /j #ubuntu
[17:45] <Mamarok> hocem: type /join #ubuntu
[17:54] <roberto> buona sera
[17:56] <bazhang> !it
[18:09] <bentob0x> !bluetooth
[18:10] <bentob0x> is there no kde4 specific news about bluetooth?
[18:10] <bentob0x> or wiki I mean
[18:27] <mitchell> hello!! Merry Christmass
[18:28] <prometheus77> hai
[18:29] <mitchell> please help me to improve the look and feel of gtk apps that run as root like synaptic in kde4
[18:29] <mitchell> i know how to do it if it were gnome but im using kde4
[18:30] <mitchell> i dont know where to start!!
[18:31] <prometheus77> I have no idea what happened to my firefox. the google search bar does not work. typing in addresses does not work. bookmarks do not work. the only thing that works is compleetely shutting down firefox and  then it works, but only for one website
[18:31] <Mamarok> mitchell: go to system settings ->appearance
[18:32] <prometheus77> firefox seeeeems to ignore any commands until the webpage has fully loaded
[18:32] <vladutzik> help me please, what should i do to install any aplications on kubuntu
[18:32] <Mamarok> vladutzik: start the package manager Adept
[18:33] <mitchell> ok mamarok, i did it
[18:33] <Mamarok> prometheus77: which version of Firefox are you talking about?
[18:33] <prometheus77> whichever the latest one for kunbuntu is
[18:33] <Mamarok> mitchell: choose gtk style and fonts, check there
[18:33] <mitchell> my gtk apps look fit in kde4, but not when they are run as root
[18:34] <Mamarok> mitchell: you can't change synaptic appearance in kde, no way
[18:34] <mitchell> sure? mmmm
[18:34] <mitchell> i thought it was possible
[18:35] <Mamarok> mitchell: you can change the colors, the windows br, but that's it, it's not made with Qt
[18:35] <Mamarok> *bar
[18:35] <Mamarok> prometheus77: get rid of all addons, probably some conflict
[18:36] <prometheus77> ok that seems to have worked for now
[18:36] <prometheus77> thanks Mamarok
[18:37] <Mamarok> :)
[18:37] <mitchell> thanks mamarok
[18:38] <Mamarok> :)
[18:38] <mitchell> ummm and can i change the theme of gtk apps from kde4 (again to be run as root)
[18:38] <mitchell> ??
[18:39] <Mamarok> mitchell: did you try applying another theme and see what you get?
[18:39]  * Mamarok has no idea
[18:39] <mitchell> lol thats what i was asking about
[18:40] <Mamarok> mitchell: try it, can't say without trying it myself
[18:40] <mitchell> but how can i change themes for gtk apps in kde4
[18:41] <mitchell> i dont know how to do it
[18:41] <mitchell> do i have to install gconf?
[18:41] <Mamarok> mitchell: themes you chose in a desktop envirnement apply to all apps started in it
[18:41] <Mamarok> at least all KDE apps so far, but not necessarily to gtk apps, sry
[18:42] <mitchell> yes thats the point
[18:42] <Mamarok> mitchell: its a different codebase, don't expect miracles
[18:42] <mitchell> for that reason is that gtk apps need the gtk-qt wrapper
[18:42] <mitchell> lol
[18:42] <Mamarok> like comparing apples with pears
[18:43] <mitchell> there should be a way
[18:44] <Mamarok> mitchell: there is none so far unless someone codes it, but that will not be easy
[18:44] <Mamarok> mitchell: it's like: " I have a dog but want it to look like a cat"
[18:45] <Mamarok> I'd say "buy a cat" then ;)
[18:45] <hyper__ch> damn xmas.... I've eaten way too much
[18:45] <mitchell> when i start an app as root, in kde, why does it look different from that one started as a normal user
[18:45] <mitchell> ??
[18:46] <Mamarok> mitchell: cause it's configured that way I guess?
[18:46] <Mamarok> hyper__ch: :)
[18:46] <mitchell> i suppose that it look for some configuration in the /root directory
[18:47] <Mamarok> mitchell: don't, you can't change that
[18:47] <hyper__ch> mitchell: though shalt not start applications as root
[18:47] <mitchell> so if i know what to change there
[18:47] <Mamarok> hyper__ch: he talks about synaptic
[18:47] <mitchell> yes,
[18:48] <Mamarok> and that one is of no use without sudo rights :)
[18:48] <mitchell> yes
[18:48] <hyper__ch> mitchell: start it with kdesu or gksudo
[18:48] <mitchell> let's see
[18:48] <Mamarok> mitchell: why do you bother? you can't change that for now, so...
[18:48] <Mamarok> hyper__ch: that will not chage the apprearance of it
[18:49] <Mamarok> *appearance
[18:49] <mitchell> hahaha well, it seems to be a waste of time
[18:49] <mitchell> ok
[18:49] <hyper__ch> mitchell: use apt-get or aptitude
[18:50] <mitchell> i gave up
[18:50] <hyper__ch> mitchell: that will not change in appearance ;)
[18:50] <hyper__ch> mitchell: depending on qt or gtk2 or ...
[18:50] <Mamarok> right :)
[18:50] <mitchell> im over kde4, so its qt
[18:51] <Mamarok> exactly, its cute :)
[18:51] <mitchell> but this topic of changing the look of apps as root in kde4 is quite interesting
[18:52]  * Mamarok corrects herself and replaces "cute" with "beautiful"
[18:52] <hyper__ch> Mamarok is cute?
[18:52] <hyper__ch> or what is cute?
[18:52] <Mamarok> hyper__ch: KDE4 :)
[18:52] <mitchell> hahaha
[18:52] <hyper__ch> Mamarok: ah... 4.2?
[18:52] <Mamarok> yes
[18:53] <hyper__ch> Mamarok: :)
[18:54] <vladutzik> how can i install mp3 decoder on kubuntu?
[18:54] <Mamarok> vladutzik: install the following package: libxine1-ffmpeg
[18:55] <vladutzik> ok, but how should i install it?
[18:55] <vladutzik> i downloaded it, but i can't install
[18:55] <Tupac_Shakur> fuck apple,winshit!! go ubuntu
[18:55] <Mamarok> vladutzik: you don't have to download it by hand, use the package manager to do both
[18:55] <Mamarok> Tupac_Shakur: behave!
[18:56] <Tupac_Shakur> :))
[18:56] <hyper__ch> vladutzik: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE
[18:56] <Mamarok> Tupac_Shakur: that's not funny, there is a code of conduct here!
[18:56] <vladutzik> Mamarok: thanks a lot :)

[19:12] <Mamarok> hannascott: normal, it's Kubuntu :)
[19:13] <hannascott> another scott.... competition!
[19:15] <scott_> Hi
[19:16] <scott_> I'm new to the kubuntu, but not linux. I'm having a little trouble trying to compile the kernel. Seems ncurses can't be found.
[19:17] <jussi01_> !kernel
[19:17] <scott_> I've installed ncurses-dev, and I'm 8.10 is there another package that I need to be installing?
[19:17] <jussi01_> scott_: curious on why you are compiling the kernel?
[19:18] <scott_> I like to.
[19:18] <jussi01_> !away > keres
[19:19] <keres> wtf
[19:19] <keres> *sigh* people can be strange
[19:19] <jussi01_> scott_: ok. :) have a read through those docs, hopefully it helps
[19:19] <jussi01_> keres: there is channel ettiquette here, please dont use public away messages
[19:33] <phadke> hi
[19:37] <tue> You! i have a kubuntu 8.10 installation with *major* breakage (tried to install kde 4.2, broke xorg, ran dpkg-reconfigure -a and now wifi dosnt work, etc.). Is there a way to tell kubuntu to forget all attempts of saving my configuration and purge/reinstall all packages?
[19:39]  * Linux_Man_ smiles
[19:43] <Dragnslcr> What's in KDE 4.2 that depends on mysql-server?
[19:44] <p_quarles> akonadi
[19:44] <Dragnslcr> Bleh
[19:45] <p_quarles> good point
[19:45] <Dragnslcr> Seems like a bad idea to require a full database server for a desktop computer
[19:46] <Mamarok> Dragnslcr: it's the most elegant way to handle data
[19:46] <Dragnslcr> Er, MySQL is the most elegant way to handle data?
[19:46] <Mamarok> a database
[19:46] <Dragnslcr> So why not use something appropriate to stand-alone applications, such as SQLite
[19:47] <Mamarok> Dragnslcr: and Kubuntu is not only used on desktop computers, neither is Akonadi
[19:47] <Dragnslcr> What else would Kubuntu be used for?
[19:47] <Mamarok> it's made to integrate in bussiness applications like Kolab, etc.
[19:47] <p_quarles> Dragnslcr: the devs outlined their reasoning during the process; this is a support channel
[19:48] <tue> Dragnslcr: amarok2
[19:48] <Mamarok> Akonadi has not been made for Kubuntu alone, but for KDE, and that's running on business computers
[19:48] <Mamarok> tue: wrong, Amarok uses MySQL embedded
[19:48] <Dragnslcr> Mamarok- so what? Desktop systems in a business shouldn't need a full MySQL server either
[19:49] <tue> hm. thought they were going to change that to mysql.
[19:50] <Mamarok> Dragnslcr: if you want to argue you should take this to another channel, sry, but I can assure you, there are very large applications who use it
[19:51] <Dragnslcr> Mamarok- please don't assume I'm an idiot. I work with databases nearly every day, and I know what MySQL is for, and desktop applications aren't it
[19:51] <p_quarles> Dragnslcr: you are off topic!
[19:51] <tue> the same was true for opengl a few years ago.
[19:52] <Mamarok> Dragnslcr: #kubuntu-offtopic
[20:13] <jdnewmil_> kde daemon seems to be broken? kubuntu 8.04, put in a blank dvd-r and a dialog pops up offering to start k3b or do nothing... but no controls respond to clicks or keyboard, and the window will not close no matter what... ideas?
[20:22] <vbgunz> im trying to freeze a package version. aptitude forbid-version 'package=version' works fine for aptitude *only*, how do I get apt-get and adept in sync with freezing a version?
[20:23] <vbgunz> theres got to be a universal package freeze configuration but I am lost at finding it :/
[20:25] <p_quarles> vbgunz: aptitude/apt-get/synaptic/adept are all front ends for dpkg; if you were going to make something stick upstream, you would set it there
[20:25] <p_quarles> er, actually, dpkg is a front-end for dselect, I think, but what i said stand
[20:26] <vbgunz> p_quarles: got it, I'll look at it. just one more question. I built the latest git and used checkinstall to build a deb. the deb installs fine *but* everytime I go to aptitude (not apt-get), aptitude wants to uninstall it... why? apt-get sees it and keeps moving :/
[20:27] <p_quarles> vbgunz: checkinstall doesn't build .deb packages with any kind of quality control; so, who knows
[20:28] <p_quarles> vbgunz: all that said, people have occasional flamewars about aptitude vs apt-get, but pretty much everyone agrees you should use one or the other, not both
[20:29] <reactor> can someone help me need help @samba
[20:29] <reactor> cant connect from any other pc to my server
[20:29] <vbgunz> p_quarles: got it. going through dpkg man now hoping I could stop the upgrades of 2 package versions
[20:29] <reactor> i found the server but the user / password arent right
[20:30] <reactor> in smbusers i typed server = "password"
[20:30] <reactor> but it doesnt work
[20:30] <reactor> some ideas
[20:34] <Flare183> reactor: I got an idea
[20:35] <reactor> please
[20:35] <Flare183> reactor: edit your smb.conf file to where the password is right (I think that is the way to fix it)
[20:37] <reactor> hmm it's my ol dconfig it worked 3 houres before
[20:38] <vbgunz> I put skip-same-version into dpkg.cfg and did an apt-get update *but* apt-get still insist on trying to upgrade these 2 packages. do I have to restart x or reboot or something?
[20:39] <zanberdo> question: I've installed ibex and would like to remove kde 4 and replace it with 3.5.9.  How?
[20:40] <vbgunz> zanberdo: I really don't think there is any *sane* way to do that without high maintenance
[20:41] <zanberdo> ah
[20:41] <vbgunz> zanberdo: better than trying to downgrade KDE from 4.1 maybe you should try the betas of KDE 4.2...
[20:41] <zanberdo> hmmm
[20:41] <zanberdo> I have 4.2 beta 2 installed (from repos).  I'm just not happy with 4.x.  I prefer 3.5.x...
[20:41] <vbgunz> 4.2 is supposed to have all the missing options and I believe they crushed over 1,500 or 15,000 bugs since 4.1
[20:42] <derjens> hello everyone
[20:42] <vbgunz> zanberdo: ahh
[20:42] <derjens> can you please help me getting my thinkpad t61 and my nokia 6310i talk via bluetooth?
[20:42] <derjens> i have never ever used bluetooth before and i don't get it working
[20:43] <derjens> i've set my phone to BT on+visible
[20:43] <derjens> i found kbluetooth-device-manager but its list does not contain any devices
[20:43] <derjens> what can i do?
[20:43] <p_quarles> vbgunz: well, I haven't done this myself, but I don't think skip-same-version does what you want
[20:43] <p_quarles> vbgunz: I would try hold
[20:43] <derjens> any BF users here?
[20:43] <derjens> * BT
[20:44] <vbgunz> p_quarles: well, I'll try it but the thing is, I do want upgrades, just not the same version. I built my xorg from source to squash a bug and the same version (official version) keeps insisting to install over it...
[20:45] <vbgunz> hmm, man dpkg doesn't contain hold at all and I do not have dselect
[20:46] <vbgunz> man this is getting bad... I hate ignoring the upgrade icon... heh
[20:46] <p_quarles> vbgunz: hold is a package flag, not a command; and you do have dselect, it's just not very user friendly
[20:47] <smoalne> hello
[20:47] <smoalne> I need to find out how to change video drivers
[20:47] <weiser> Hey, when I download a html file in my firefox it comes up with a program called w3m, can I change that to firefox?
[20:48] <vbgunz> p_quarles:  I tried man dselect but have no manual entry for it. many thanks for your help. dpkg said something about starting a new shell. I am going to try restarting x. maybe thats the cleanest way to reset all shells.
[20:48] <p_quarles> no, it's not, in fact, but oh well
[20:50] <derjens> did anybody here ever use bluetooth with linux?
[20:54] <vbgunz> heh, make a system wide version freeze of a package is crazy. each app insist on doing it its own way. anyone know the universal configuration that'll freeze a package version?
[20:55] <keres> how do you batch convert JPGs to TGAs?
[20:55] <keres> whenever i try 'convert ~/jpg/*.jpg ~/tga/*.tga' the output is an invalid tga
[20:55] <vbgunz> either me or google is getting dumber... I am finding it harder and harder to find good results.
[21:00] <vbgunz> got much better search results with debian hold package version
[21:07] <zanberdo> so, just to be clear on an earlier question: is there an ibex release with the KDE 3.5 instead of 4?
[21:09] <kurumin> oi
[21:09] <kurumin> q isso
[21:09] <poko> a
[21:10] <poko> aaaa
[21:10] <smoalne> hello
[21:10] <poko> hello
[21:11] <smoalne> got a question
[21:11] <smoalne> i think the drivers for my graphics card are limited, I cant change the screen res.
[21:15] <slow-motion> hi
[21:34] <vbgunz> I checked out my built git package in aptitude. aptitude insist on removing it and when I showed info on the package, I see this -> "State: installed; will be removed because nothing depends on it" ... isn't this the most retarded reason? so nothing depends on it. it depends on itself. whats wrong here?
[21:36] <Guest37477> How can I configure my controller? I found the kde control module, but it doesnt let me set anything. I want to be able to use it in a game
[21:40] <nokiaN90> hello
[21:44] <vbgunz> christ. aptitude insist on removing this package. aptitude unmarkauto git-core doesn't do a damn thing about it. aptitude is really trying to remove this package? was aptitude written by satan? seriously wtf, can someone enlighten me?
[21:58] <marek_> hi, anybody tried to use anyremote?
[22:12] <vbgunz> appears aptitude has a bug where unmarkauto just doesn't do what it is supposed to do. a possible work around is to install package: ... the colon is critical. this solves the bs
[22:17] <tim-> anyone around that can assist with a boot issue? after a fresh install, upgraded all the packages .. all was well. Added the proprietary video driver (ATI I believe it is) and now after login it freezes after the globe is shown
[22:24] <Ghoul> hm, does knetwork manager usually display all the wireless networks around so i can select mine?
[22:26] <jussi01_> Ghoul: it does when you go to make a new connection ;)
[22:26] <Ghoul> well i just unplug the wired one
[22:27] <Ghoul> and nothing happens, can't see anything messing around with the options
[22:27] <jussi01_> Ghoul: do you see something like "add new connection"?
[22:28] <Ghoul> evern when i manually input network name and key still nothing.. hmm probably the wifi doesn't work... it's not a hardware problem though; i've had previous OSs and everything was working
[22:28] <Ghoul> yup, add new connection wlan0
[22:28] <Ghoul> in my case
[22:30] <Ghoul> interesting 'state:disconnected' about it hmm
[22:39] <cristiano> test
[22:39] <cristiano> mmmh
[22:39] <cristiano> funziona
[22:40] <cristiano> figo
[22:40] <cristiano> allora: per caso c'è qualcuno che mi può aiutare con una questione tecnica fra ubuntu 8.10 e il mio router netgear934G wireless che non vanno daccordo????
[22:42] <cristiano> ummh... c'è nessuno?
[22:43] <cristiano> english chat?
[23:27] <Stormcr0w> Hi everyone, I'm trying to start up a pc using the kubuntu 8.10 live cd, but I only get white noise on screen... Any ideas?
[23:29] <genii> Stormcr0w: Perhaps add kernel option:     vga
[23:30] <techn0scho0lbus> Hi!
[23:30] <Stormcr0w> genii: Thanks for the tip. How do I do that exactly? I have tried to select "safe graphics" when hitting F4, just before startup
[23:30] <Stormcr0w> but it did not work...
[23:31] <genii> Stormcr0w: On most of the livecd it is f5 or f6 key... where you can obtain the kernel line which is loading and append it
[23:32] <genii> Stormcr0w: Although safe graphics mode is probably also the same as this. What video card is it?
[23:32] <Stormcr0w> genii: I see, I will try that. My concern is that if I attempt to install Kubuntu on this machine, perhaps the graphics card will not support it. It is an Nvidia FX 5200
[23:32] <Stormcr0w> (GeForce)
[23:32] <techn0scho0lbus> I just upgraded to KDE4.2. I tried to place a widget on my desktop and got this error response "This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find requested component: BbalL" (for the bball widget, other widgets similarly don't work.)  I can't find help with this elsewhere, does anyone know what's going on?  I'm on kubuntu 8.10
[23:33] <techn0scho0lbus> btw, <3 4.2
[23:37] <deillos> hi?
[23:37] <techn0scho0lbus> hi
[23:37] <Stormcr0w> hi
[23:38] <deillos> any channels / servers for ppl who want to, or are interested in learning to fly airplanes?
[23:38] <techn0scho0lbus> wow, i really don't know
[23:38] <techn0scho0lbus> lol, if you find one, tell me
[23:38] <techn0scho0lbus> plox
[23:40] <deillos> im currently running ubuntu on an 8 gb thumb drive as my laptop's hdd had crashed a long while back
[23:46] <Stormcr0w> genii: Do you know if this graphics card is kubuntu compatible? I am able to run Ubuntu 8.10 livecd just fine, by the way. Is there a way to install Ubuntu and then switch over to Kubuntu?
