null__can you help me genii00:20
StR|Sangrealgenii pls could you first resolve my problem?00:20
geniinull__: I'm soon leaving, sorry00:20
null__:(!!00:20
geniiStR|Sangreal: Since the dependencies are all messy, it is almost impossible to fix. I suggest install fresh00:21
StR|Sangrealok, a general question00:22
StR|Sangrealwho thinks that .10 with k4 is better or worthier than .04 with k3?00:22
geniiStR|Sangreal: I'm currently sticking to my 8.04 / 3.5.10 box00:23
mister-tea-laptome too00:23
StR|Sangrealbut - probably k4 is how user oriented systems do will develop in the future, isnt it?00:24
geniinull__: "need to restart usb" is fairly vague. You have some specific usb device which doesn't work? etc. A more specific description and someone may know about your issue in detail and be able to assist (just not me currently)00:25
mister-tea-laptoprobably00:25
StR|Sangreali mean, i was fine with my .0400:25
StR|Sangrealbut as i updated and broke the system, how shall i cope with the fact that it all was in vain?00:26
mister-tea-laptobeer00:26
geniimister-tea-lapto: Proast!00:27
StR|Sangrealok.. who recommends me to install a new stable intrepid instead of former .04 with the older k?00:28
ZehavaCould anyone tell me how to change my java classpath permanantly and globally please?00:29
* mister-tea-lapto buys the channel a round00:29
StR|Sangrealthanks :) where can i find a slovak intrepid distro?00:30
null__genii: Well, all my usb devices stopped working and I'm getting floods of crazy errors to syslog.  usb_storage is busy doing a cwd and wont die, so i can't remove usbcore.  trying to rmmod ehci_hcd hangs and i can't kill modprobe.  /etc/init.d/udev restart does not fix anything00:30
geniiZehava: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217936&highlight=classpath00:31
Zehavagenii thanks00:31
geniinull__: The udev restart would also be your usb restart. So thats not going to help much. that it is the usb-storage might be some issue with external usb hd or usb stick00:32
null__my load is 15.xx with 10% cpu, and lsof confirms usbhid-up has about 20 files open (this happened due to a brown out which made my ups usb cry and it broke all usb); lsof also shows about 20 open for an lsusb i can't kill00:34

null__i have physically unplugged all usb devices00:34
null__also, my root hard drive is failing and i don't have a backup00:34
null__if i reboot i'll prolly lose everything00:34
geniinull__: Sounds like you have some possible hardware damage due to the brownout00:35
null__i have a backup on an external usb hd which now has a corrupt superblock i can't recover.  :)00:35
geniinull__: You can't   sudo kill -9 <pid-of-lsubs-process>   ?00:36
genii*lsusb00:36
null__oh i've tried00:36
null__i've -9'ed every possible process00:37
null__anything related to lsusb, modprobe, and nut (the ups) won't die00:37
StR|Sangrealpls could sb advise me where to find a multilingual or slovak distro?00:39
geniinull__: Nothing immediate comes to mind as some solution.00:39
null__i'm going to kill this x session and see if that does anything00:39
geniiI need to be /away for a few hours now.00:40
StR|Sangrealpls does anybody know where to download a multilingual dvd with kubuntu 8.10?00:41
ZehavaIsn't there some sort of GUI for setting the class paths? I've used it before but can't remember the name and thi is a new install00:42

Styx993is there a way to make kde put the stuff on the desktop actually on the desktop?01:29

Styx993too many channels...01:31
apowCentral elements of the desktop experience have been improved to provide a better experience. These include grouping and multiple row layout in the task bar, icon hiding in the system tray, notifications and job tracking by Plasma, and the ability to have icons on the desktop again by using a Folder View as the desktop background01:31

omarcodo you have to use a specific program or does a drive appear somewhere so you can copy your photographs like a pendrive?01:43
DanuMister JontheEchidna i don't have a dual monitor and i already did and nothing :(01:45
denis_no, just connect01:46
JontheEchidnait doesn't have to be dual monitors exactly, even an unconnected tv out port will trigger the flickering01:46
denis_omarco I use digikam01:46
Danubut i already did that before and it keeps blinking01:46
JontheEchidnaDanu: so you turned off the service, logged out and logged back in?01:46
Danuyes01:47
omarcodenis_: Hmm, I think it uses PTP. Not sure if digikam also manages photos from mass storage devices (it probably should...)01:47
=== omarco is now known as omarco_pizza
Danui did that before like 2 weeks ago01:47
JontheEchidnahmm01:48
denis_omarco oh for sure, it only recognizes it as mass storage device, not as Canon...01:48
denis_version 2 is almost out01:48
omarco_pizzathen it should be mass storage. Lucky! :-P01:48
DanuAnyone has "downgrade" to KDE 3 on intrepid (i read in some place that it can be with some repositories)?01:49
denis_oh sorry, I meant 0.10 is almost out01:49
JontheEchidnaDanu: you might try upgrading to KDE 4.2, which doesn't have the problematic patch at all01:49
denis_http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4264101:50
JontheEchidnahttp://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-201:50

szrhawaii_anyone know where the default ksrc files are for the kdm05:09
Alan_LockwoodI droped 1600 files on the desktop and i have 1600 plasmoids as icons, how can i delete them?05:11
Alan_Lockwoodx_X05:11
szrhawaii_you trying to delete the desktop plasmoids05:11
szrhawaii_isnt that the base of the new kde 4.1 though05:12
szrhawaii_i swear the panel itself soley runs on the plasmoid style05:13
szrhawaii_or are you just deleting the icons05:13
szrhawaii_if your deleting or doing anything with icons its usr/share/icons05:14
szrhawaii_thats mainly where you will find your default icons and other icon sets05:14
szrhawaii_not sure if it will delete the desktop icons05:15
szrhawaii_for the plasmoids though05:15
szrhawaii_dwidmann you in here05:15
dwidmannszrhawaii_: actually yes05:16
szrhawaii_hey do you know where the file location to add a color file to my kdm list05:16
dwidmannszrhawaii_: a color for the **kdm** list? hmm, let me poke around a bit and see if I can find it05:17
szrhawaii_alright thanks i knew where it was in 3.5 but i not sure its the same in 4.205:18

szrhawaii_someones having a bad day05:20
dwidmannszrhawaii, maybe something to do with .........share/config/kdm/backgroundrc?05:21
szrhawaii_ill check that out05:21
dwidmannor perhaps just /etc/kde4/kdm/backgroundrc05:22
szrhawaii_the etc one isnt it it should just be a folder with ksrc files in them05:24
szrhawaii_the other one i dont have a directory to05:24
dwidmannszrhawaii_: hmm, well, there isn't any kdm related directory with kscrc files on my system...05:25
szrhawaii_so i gotta manually configure it in05:26
szrhawaii_i know in kde 3.5 they had a file to put it in05:26
szrhawaii_but that was after i downloaded the kdm manager05:26
dwidmannFor the regular desktop color scheme I probably know where to put it, but I don't know with regards to kdm, for it I've only done whole themes05:27
szrhawaii_the desktop one is an easy on05:27
szrhawaii_e05:27
szrhawaii_its the kdm one i am more interested in05:27
szrhawaii_but thanks for the help though05:27
szrhawaii_hey dwidmann kdisplay does the kdm color right05:29
dwidmannhrm, not sure *checks*05:29
dwidmannI guess you could try putting some things in /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes and see if it picks up on it though eh?05:31
hatoyuWhere can i change my system font size setting?05:31
szrhawaii_in the system settings hatoyu05:32
stdinSystem Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts05:32
hatoyuszrhawaii_:  thank you05:32
szrhawaii_its in appearance05:32
szrhawaii_thats where one is05:32
dwidmannszrhawaii_: hmm, by the looks of what I'm seeing in kdm, maybe it just uses the desktop color schemes?05:34
dwidmannszrhawaii_: because I see it listing things like honeycomb and obsidian coast and such in kdm05:35
szrhawaii_yeah i noticed that also05:35
szrhawaii_maybe its a home/. type of file05:35
hatoyuhow can I fix it :05:37

hatoyuszrhawaii_: thank you05:45
dwidmannhatoyu: that would still pull in everything you need to build it, or should anyway05:45
dwidmannhatoyu: anyhow, that's how I did it ... I've got an svn build from < a week ago05:47
szrhawaii_hey dwidmann how do i force quit the find files/folders window05:47
szrhawaii_the killall isnt working05:48
dwidmannszrhawaii_: try hitting ctrl+alt+escape to bring up xkill, then click on it05:48
dwidmannszrhawaii_: or try killall -s kill05:48
szrhawaii_k05:49
szrhawaii_the ctrl+alt+esc isnt working05:49
szrhawaii_even that didnt do it05:49
dwidmannszrhawaii_: if it were it would just change your cursor to an x or something ... it's kind of odd if it's not working though05:50
szrhawaii_nah same cursor05:50
dwidmannszrhawaii_: of course it can be run manually with the xkill command05:50
szrhawaii_in terminal05:50
szrhawaii_that worked05:51
dwidmannszrhawaii_: or from krunner, doesn't really matter where you run it from05:51
szrhawaii_thanks05:51
szrhawaii_the cursor does change to an x thats wierd05:51
szrhawaii_i wonder why they dont allow any real mods to the kdm anymore05:53
szrhawaii_except the theme way05:53
dwidmannszrhawaii_: I guess because it's more consistent and easier to distribute/share, is what I'd assume05:57
szrhawaii_yeah maybe05:58
szrhawaii_hey dwidmann is a svg file a compiled file or something i can just make using gimp06:07
szrhawaii_like a png or jpeg06:07
dr_willisScaled Vector Graphics06:08
dr_willispng/jpg are bitmapped graphics.06:08
dr_willisnot 'quite' the same06:08
szrhawaii_can gimp produce that file if i add it on the end of it when i save it06:09
szrhawaii_or will it not work06:09
dr_willisgimp does not edit 'vector' graphics.. so No.06:09
szrhawaii_so what would i use06:10
dr_willisdia, and other  vector graphic editors06:10
dr_willisperhaps.06:10
szrhawaii_dia06:10
faileasinkscape i think06:10
szrhawaii_hmm06:10
dr_willistry apt-cache search svg06:10
szrhawaii_ill just look through the package manager06:10
dr_willisI recall there being some other SVG editors out. not all were GPL.06:10
szrhawaii_thanks im trying to find a way to make my own kdm06:11
dr_willisYou mean make your own kdm theme?06:12
dr_willisI recall some SVG editor that had a 'tiger' as a mascot.. but cant rember its name..  googling. seems to imply that Inkscape is very well done however06:13
dr_willishttp://www.xaraxtreme.org/06:17
dr_willisthat may be one i was thinking of :)06:17
szrhawaii_there is a file here that said it was a plugin for gimp that made svg files now its a stand alone program06:18
dr_willisive never really messed with SVGs  other then to set them as my wallpaper :)06:19
dr_willisso cant really advice much on the topic06:19
szrhawaii_my gimp was making files svg files as a standard file in 3.506:20
szrhawaii_now its a different format06:21
dr_willisI imagine thers some way to get bitmap type images to be svg's but you proberly lose the main benifits of SVG files..06:21
szrhawaii_yeah theres a thing called autotrace which was a plugin for gimp before06:21
szrhawaii_now its a stand alone program06:21
szrhawaii_so that might be one to look at06:22
dr_willisNot sure what you are really trying to do.. I mussed the core problem...06:22
szrhawaii_im just changing the background in my oxygen theme06:22
szrhawaii_for now06:23
szrhawaii_just to get things started06:23
dr_williswell good luck.. i dont mess with kde4 much06:25

jussi01?12:55
rdaleyes, i have a macbook running intrepid on the same network12:55
jussi01rdale: 2 ways to do it then. make a bootable USB or netboot from an iso on the intrepid machine12:55
jussi01rdale: I strongly suggest the bootable usb12:56

rdalejussi01: yes, a usb sounds best, but the shops are closed where i am because it's a holiday. i think i'll try putting an iso in a directory on my other machine and install from that12:57
jussi01rdale: and you cant use the one that mandriva is on?12:57
johannes_with the Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 i have got the problem that the screen flickers when typing prssing one key , like changing focus12:57
johannes_does anybody have an idea?12:57
rdalejussi01: well that would wipe mandriva, but i could do that yes12:58
jussi01rdale: true, but yeah.12:58
jussi01rdale: so on the intrepid install do: sudo apt-get install usb-creator12:59
jussi01rdale: then settings -> create a usb startup disk13:00
rdaleand usb-creator will do everything if i just put the mandriva usb stick in the machine running intrepid?13:00
jussi01rdale: self explanatory from there13:00
jussi01rdale: youll need an iso to create it from13:01
rdaleif i need to download an iso anyway, so installing from an iso on disk today, and buying another usb stick specially for kubuntu tomorrow sounds the best option13:02

flodinespecially the "desktop" plasmoid that comes up when i log on16:31
flodindragging the scrollbar updates at maybe 2 fps16:31
CrunchyFerrettflodin: My expierence has been that KDE4 requires approx the same system resources as Vista Home Premium16:32
flodinother programs are a bit laggy but not anywhere near as slow as the plasmoid16:32
CrunchyFerrettif you can't run Vista, then KDE4 is gonna be slow. But that's just my thought.16:32
flodinwell gnome was running fine with all the desktop effects enabled... and this is a dual-core 2ghz system with 1gb ram and an nvidia 8600 card16:33
flodinif this is normal, then fine i'll just go back to gnome and be happy. But it seemed to me more that something is not working as it should16:33
flodinit's not using tons of cpu when i scroll around either16:34
CrunchyFerrettflodin: I retract my earlier statement. You should have more than enough horsepower.16:35
flodincould it have to do with me running gdm as desktop manager? I'm a bit stumped16:36
flodini get 60 fps according to the fps meter effect plugin16:36

flodinmostly it's running fine though, it's the plasmoid that really kills performance16:43

geniiBluesKaj: This may be some change from 8.04 -> 8.10 however17:31
bdizzleyeah, I am running 8.10 I think17:32
geniibdizzle: You currently on a livecd or so on same box?17:34
bdizzleno17:34
bdizzleI managed to get it to boot after a few hard reboots (ie, ctrl + alt + del at GRUB)17:34
geniibdizzle: So this error is on the drive which is the copy?17:35
bdizzlehold on, I'm not quite sure what you mean17:36
bdizzlethe first physical hard drive is an 80 GB hard drive, containing Windows XP on one partition, and random data files on the other17:36
bdizzlethe second physical hard drive is a 320 GB hard drive, split into three parts. The first two partitions of about 100 GB contain my data from my laptop of my hard drive, while Kubuntu is installed on the third partition17:37
geniibdizzle: You said earlier: "Error 16 when I boot. I reboot, then get  Error 18, then reboot again, and get Error 18 - cyllinders exceeded by BIOS or something on GRUB"  and also: " It started when I transfered over the contents of my laptop hard drive onto my desktop"17:37
bdizzleyes17:38
bdizzlethat would probably all be occuring on the second physical hard drive17:38
geniiIf you just used for instance dd from one drive to another then put that drive in another box which maps cylinders/heads different, would explain17:38
bdizzleah17:39

EagleScreensehven just ask your questions17:52
sehvenok thx17:52
sehveni want to install kubuntu with my xp in same hd but in separate partitions17:52
geniiSiVA_: If you want network manager to be able to configure it, no entries there in /etc/network/interfaces   - or else network manager believes it's a manually configured device and does nothing with it17:52
sehvenbut during setup my balls run off when i was asked about partitions17:53
sehvenwas afraid myt overwrite my xp17:53
sehvenand i dont know how to select where to install kbuntu17:53
EagleScreensehven do you know any about partitions and partitioning a disk?17:53
BluesKajSiVA_ my prob is that i din't have a prob with wireless when i ran kubuntu live cd on wife's laptop , and i was able connect with 2 clicks and a password , so I'm kinda useless in this situation :(17:54
geniisehven: Did you run the install from inside of Windows (wubi) or from booting to the livecd ?17:54
sehvenyes17:54
sehvenlive cd17:54
SiVA_genii: Ok, nothing is in there except 'lo'. when I right click the networkmanager I see my device listed byt it says "Wireless disabled". I can sucessfully scan routers on the console though17:54
sehvenwas trying to install 8.1017:54
EagleScreensehven how many partitions do you have now in your hD?17:54
SiVA_sehven: You need to free up space in your XP partition first... use XP disk tools to change the size of your partition (if there's onlyu one). Then you can use that free space in ubuntu setup17:54
geniiSiVA_: Does:   ifconfig                           show wlan0 (or ath0 or whatever your wifi interface is named)17:54
janahi there...17:55
sehvenonly 2 EagleScreen17:55
SiVA_ifconfig shows ra0 yes.. it's a usb wifi device. Other people have had success with it17:55
SiVA_genii: yes it does17:55
sehvenSiVA_ i have 2 partitions already, 18/1817:56
SiVA_genii: Using iwconfig I am able to set the essid and pass key.. then I tried running ifconfig ra0 up but it doesn't fetch an IP address from dhcp17:56
SiVA_sehven: Are they both used by XP?17:56
geniiSiVA_: Did you:  sudo dhclient ra0                     ?17:56
sehvennop17:56
EagleScreensehven are they C: and D: (Windows fortmat) and sda1 and sda2 (Linux format)??? and what are you using them for???17:56
sehventheir both ntfs too17:56
janai'm trying to slow down cpu fan but without any luck... main problem is that i can load powernow-k8 getting this message FATAL: Error inserting powernow_k8 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko): No such device17:57
SiVA_genii: that's a new one for me... so I configure the device using iwconfig then issue this command to get an IP?17:57
janasry cannot load17:57
sehvenEagleScreen its C: and E: and sda1/sda5 was shown17:57
geniiSiVA_: If it has no entry in /etc/network/interfaces like: iface ra0 inet dhcp                 then yes17:58
EagleScreensehven are you using now Linux on Live CD?17:58
sehvennop17:58
sehvenstil on xp17:58
geniiWork, AFK 2-3 minutes17:59
SiVA_genii: Ok, so how would I automate this every time the computer starts?17:59
BluesKajactually sehven , if you run the kubuntu install, choose the manual partitoning option , then choose how much space you would like to use for kubuntu ext3 , and a small amount of space for a swap file. usually a 1G swap will do17:59
EagleScreenif you have only two partitions and they are sda1 and sda5, you have a singular partition table, it would be useful that you boot Live CD, use konversation to enter in this chat and paste us the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' command18:00

aloneaproblems are generally users wanting things configured a different way. As for hardware issues, that really depends on what you have and what you are trying to do.19:00

heapyso far, so good :)19:01
DaSkreechHi Benny1981BE how are you?19:01
DaSkreechheapy: Welcome!!19:01
aloneaheapy: intrepid has support for the updated kde versions, hardy does not as far as I saw.19:01
Benny1981BEI see... so if I'm using it well it should work well... right ? ^19:01
aloneait should. The system is very stable for me on my not so good laptop19:02
DaSkreechBenny1981BE: A simple rule of thumb I follow is that the first 2-3 weeks suck19:02
DaSkreechAfter that it starts to get comfortable19:02
heapyits sound alonea, im quite happy wiv kde 3.5, i need a stable system and kubuntu has that sussed as far as im aware wiv hardy19:02

jihaBluesKaj: The problem is that there are some apps that are not yet ported. Like kile.20:31
* jiha has an idea.20:31
jihaI have an .kde folder from ubuntu 8.04 with the correct settings for icons and colors.20:31
jihaMaybe copying works.20:32
BluesKajjiha . it looks available in adept20:32
BluesKajkile that is20:32
jihaBluesKaj: kile is still a kde 3.x app, afaik20:33
BluesKajjiha , just change the icons in icon settings on the desktop or panel20:33
jihaBluesKaj: With systemsettings?20:34
jihaThat does not work :-(20:34
BluesKajno , right click on the app , choose icon settings then click on the icon in the dialogbox20:36

wadgenii: So... When boot up with the external CRT unplugged, I get the display on my laptop screen, at 1400x1050. When I boot with the CRT plugged in, I get the display on it, at 1280X1024.21:21
wadWhat I want to do is get both of them, all the time, at 1400x1050. Is this possible?21:21
geniiwad: Not sure. Does the crt support that?21:22
wadSure, it's a CRT, not an LCD. :)21:22
wadAt least, I suppose it does... gonna check the specs. Viewsonic G81021:22
geniiwad: http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/viewsonic/viewsonicg810.html   reports 1600x1280 possible21:24
wadI found that too. :) But does it support 1400x1050?21:24
wadI would assume it would.21:24
heapydoes this error msg mean anything to anyone? - signal 8 sigfpe? - i was just lookin at ebay using konqueror and got that error21:25
wadgenii: Do you know how linux works? Why doe I get both displays active when I'm logging in under KDE, but not after I log in?21:25
wadSome freaking xorg.conf thing, no doubt. That xorg.conf is just baffling.21:25
dr_williswad,  what video chipset is this anyway?21:28
wadSome Intel chipset... it's a Lenovo T61 laptop.21:28
geniiwad: Besides which the Xorg people are going away entirely from using it as well21:28
* wad looks it up.21:28
dr_willisThere are Thinkpad specifi linux forums - i recall...21:29
wadgenii: I hope they will replace it with something more usable?21:29
wadI'm a hard-core computer geek of several decades, and even I can't figure it out.21:29
dr_willisive very little hassles with configuiring  my xorg.conf :)21:29
dr_willisbut it does pay to tinker with it.21:29
geniiwad: As I understand it's supposed to end up where udev just tells X binary whats attached and no conf files21:30
wadI spent a whole day fiddling with it a while back. I'd set it up, and it would do seemingly random things instead.21:30
wadgenii: That would be nice... as long as it gives the user control!21:30
dr_willisOf course now a days - its getting more and more minimal.. so when it works like you want its great.. when it dont.. You are back to  trying to undo the automatic stuff21:30
wadyeah. *shudder*21:30
geniidr_willis: Yup21:30
dr_willissounds like windows. :) eitehr it works.. or its a pain...21:31
wadAnyhoo... So should I play with xorg.conf to try to get this to work?21:31
wadThe core problem is that I don't understand how it works.21:31
dr_willis:) but at least under linunx you can go back to the old xorg.conf if ya want21:31
wadFor some reason, when I boot without a monitor attached, it uses 1400x1050 on the laptop display.21:31
geniiwad: You could make a tradition entry for the crt with the H and V refresh raes21:31
wadWhen I boot with the CRT attached, I get both displays, up to the point where I've logged in... then the laptop goes dark, and I have the CRT at 1280x1024. STRANGE!21:32
dr_willisive also noticed with external monitors - some times the pc/mb/bios/chipset try to  be 'smart' and do things what they think is the right way21:32
geniiwad: Then it would try to use highest common value both crt and lcd support21:32
wadgenii: I've already got that, I think.21:32
wadI want a cloned display, same thing on both screens.21:32
wadThat's why I want 1400x1050 on the CRT.21:32
dr_willisyou are cloning a wide screen to a non wide screen? or was the LCD not wide screen?21:32
wadNo wideness here. :)21:32
dr_willisthat must be an Old laptop. :)21:33
wadNaw, it's fairly newish.21:33
waddual-core CPU, 160GB HDD, 4 GB RAM.21:33
wadOr maybe 2GB RAM...21:33
dr_willisi dont even recall seeing any in stores lately thats not wide screen21:33
dr_willisive never had a CRT that could do  1400x1050  either21:33
wadI think a CRT can do whatever you send it, as long as it's lower than the max.21:34
dr_willisits possible its a limit of the video card that it cant do the higher res's with  2 moniotrs.21:34
wadYou can fiddle with the controls on the front of the monitor to correct the aspect ratio as needed.21:34
waddr_willis: That's a good point!21:34
dr_williswad,  well with some CRT's perhaps.. but i wouldent guarentee that.21:34
* wad nods.21:34
dr_willisI dont even have a PC with a CRT any more21:34
wadYeah, yeah. But I do... I'm not as rich as you guys, able to afford the latest gear. :P21:35
dr_willisand Most of those laptops /makers may make assumptions on  assuming the user will be attatching a projector to the external vga.21:35
wadShould I start with the xorg.conf, you think?21:35
wadI'm going to reboot.21:36
geniiwad: http://www.mepis.org/node/11112    has a bunch of what seem valid modelines for this monitor in the xorg.conf example21:37
geniiwad: One of which is: Modeline "1400x1050" 129 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync21:37

SzadekKubuntu experimental repo doesnt update so long time ... its only beeing updated on beta3 possibly ? neon project may be too unstable for my taste ............23:24
DaSkreechmichi: Sounds more reasonable23:24
geniiDanu: Perhaps try the steps outlined in post number 4 of here: http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?showtopic=1070923:25
DaSkreechSzadek: Neon or the beta reo ?23:25
Szadekthe beta ! neon is maybe ( i dont have feedback from who uses ) unstable .23:25
DaSkreechSzadek: new one ships this week you will have an update very shortly23:26
Danui'll be right back23:27
Szadekohh kool then =) .I like to see how it is going the progress ... but i dont want my desktop to be crashing every single action i do , thats why i dont use neon packages .23:27
Szadekthanks DaSkreech23:27
Szadekfor the info =)23:27
DaSkreechSzadek: ha ha you know that they have been in bugfix mode for a while right?23:27
Szadekrihgt23:27
Szadekright*23:27
DaSkreechSo if anything neon should be more stable23:27
Szadeki like to see that progress ... not talking about new stuff =)23:28
Szadekmaybe23:28
Szadekor maybe not i just dont know23:28
Szadeklike i said i have no feedback from the people using neon23:28
DaSkreechIn any case you should have RC within a week23:30
DaSkreechhttp://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.2_Release_Schedule23:30
DaSkreechThen two weeks later Final23:30
DaSkreechFollowed each month by more bugfixes23:30
