[00:00] I have Intrepid installed on a machine in my attic, I found I've become a born-again Gnome convert. [00:01] GnuSense: hehe yeah... i thought many times of moving to gnome but i would have had to install it and i was just happy to a more or less working linux on my machine..never touch a running system you know ;) [00:02] GnuSense: tried linux a few years ago (ubuntu with gnome) and it was faster, unfortunately there was no driver for my wlan-card so i moved back to ms windows [00:02] Well, Debian based systems will add new desktops pretty seemlessly, 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [00:03] GnuSense: you're sure? i'll try this... [00:03] Oh ahm, i think i got to stop X before... [00:04] is there a terminal irc client? [00:04] Well, drivers are one good reason to go for the latest & greatest desktop, dominique. Yup, never had a bad experience adding desktops, you don't have to stop X. [00:04] edubuntu-desktop - edubuntu desktop system [00:04] edubuntu-desktop-kde - edubuntu desktop system with KDE desktop [00:04] kubuntu-desktop - Kubuntu desktop system [00:04] ubuntu-desktop - The Ubuntu desktop system [00:04] xubuntu-desktop - Xubuntu desktop system [00:05] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:05] <- how to find out which process this is? [00:05] I'm sure there is, irssi comes to mind. [00:05] thank you [00:05] ps -aux |grep apt [00:05] thanks. [00:06] Probably the automatic update is active. [00:06] tehres no other apt process [00:07] Synaptic for adept open, dominique [00:07] ? [00:07] i knew there was a program that lists the locked files and which showed the processes... [00:07] hehe yeah ^ ^adept open... closed it. [00:07] Try ps -aux |grep dpkg [00:08] Or just look over the output of 'ps -aux' [00:08] ok, loading ubuntu-desktop [00:08] but ps -aux just shwos processes [00:09] just for my own curiousity: How to see what files are in use? ^^ [00:09] Right, but it should show you what package management process was keeping your from adding other desktops. [00:09] k [00:10] evening all. Does anyone know of an application that will send test signals to all your speakers? [00:11] hey all [00:11] lsof <- found it :D GnuSense [00:11] hi ActionParsnip [00:12] I run alltray to keep thunderbird running but out of the way, Is there a command I can run to make it come back as if i'd clicked on it, kinda like a minimise / restore but to alltray [00:12] That's a good one to know about, dominique [00:12] jop, i guess so [00:13] GnuSense: There are no big problems when having kde and gnome running on the same machine? (different displays) === marius is now known as Guest87126 [00:15] I got my cell phone and headset to work in kubuntu via bluetooth. However...after taking a look and trying blueproximity...it won't detect the devices..even though I can use the headset in skype. [00:15] No problem at all, dominique. I frequently have XFCE, KDE3 & KDE4 installed at the same time and even Fluxbox or Enlightenment if I'm feeling frisky and have enough hard drive space. You can select which one you want to start at your login manager (KDM, GDM). Heck, you can even run multiple desktops at the same time, I haven't had a problem. [00:16] k thank you [00:18] and how to startx but not kde but gnome? [00:18] i mean, if select another display and startx, kde is taken automatically [00:19] GnuSense *highlight* :) pls tell me if i'm going on your nerves [00:20] Well, dominique, if you are init 3 you can just use something like startkde, startxfce4, I think there is probably a startgnome command if startx default to KDE, probably controlled by something in /etc/X11 [00:21] No probs. But the easiest way to start a different window manager is through your login manager, assuming you don't have the computer set up to automatically go to X. [00:21] ah, in with irssi... works very nice :) === marius is now known as Guest54066 [00:21] quit [00:21] Just choose a different session type. If you do go to X automatically just log off, that should give you the login manager, kdm or gdm. [00:22] Or once you are in X you can always Just start a new session with the new desktop, dominique. You can do it as another user or even as your same user. [00:22] GnuSense: Ok, i can always do Ctrl+alt+f1/2/3/4/5/6 [00:22] GnuSense: I'll try it.. [00:23] kde 4.1 is such a mess [00:23] I can't believe it [00:23] try 4.2 then? [00:24] Just remember, if you start a new session with a different window manager and try to start an application as that same user you won't be able to access your Firefox profile in the new window manager, since it will already be in use. Same for Thunderbird and probably a lot of other apps. [00:24] Testify, Guest54066 [00:25] GnuSense: K, thanks. [00:26] I wouldn't try the multiple simultaneous window managers at the same time unless you have reasonable beefy hardware, at least 512 MB of RAM. [00:27] 4.2 solves webcam detection problems? adds "open as root" option? guess not... [00:28] Guest52984, noidea, dont know, or care.. do you have an actual support question or are you going to just rant all day? [00:30] I am the MAN! [00:31] does anyone in here use alltray to dock thunderbird? [00:31] GnuSense: I had today in all 6 ttys X+kde opened and run in all of them some applications to test stability of the os... it worked xD [00:31] how can I add other themes? i.e. Air or Elegance? [00:31] dominique, run a few vncsessions also - for extra load. [00:32] can't run anything as root nor can I run my webcam through any program even though the same cam worked under kde 3.5 [00:32] !themes | markit [00:32] dominique, i recall not too many years back - running mor ethen 1 instance of kde or gnome by the same user = big problems ;) [00:32] markit: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [00:32] dr_Willis: How to do this on one machine? For me it was enough to see this, even windows cannot have mor than one display, i guess it would have crashed with more than 3 [00:32] Guest54066: to run stuff as root, use sudo for command line apps and kdesudo for gui apps [00:32] Wow, I don't think I've ever had more than 3 or 4 TTYs opened at once, and that was in sidux, which requires you to be in INIT 3 to upgrade (I get bored of looking at output scrolling so I open TTYs with lynx, moc, maybe irc. [00:33] dominique, windows is limited in how it can handle vnc. :) people get use to thinking vnc can only share the current desktop.. its only recently that vnc CAN do that under linux. heh - its always had the feature to run several desktops 'hidden' [00:33] ActionParsnip: no specific package from kubuntu? [00:34] ok :D [00:34] dominique, vnc can be fun [00:34] markit: well, no you are using kde, so any kde theme will work === nicolas_ is now known as Guest64277 === Guest64277 is now known as Bou [00:35] root@Agartha:/var# kdesudo konqueror [00:35] No protocol specified [00:35] kdesudo: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [00:35] I get that [00:36] with dolphin too [00:36] Guest, try 'kdesu dolphin' [00:37] I just can't [00:37] root@Agartha:/var# kdesu dolphin [00:37] bash: kdesu: command not found [00:38] Guest26127, no need for su doing if you are already root [00:38] Or as a normal user, "sudo sux" (install sux if you need to, first), and then you can start GUI apps from the command line. Put a "&" at the end of the line if you want to continue to use the terminal session while the GUI app is running. Guest54066 [00:38] Guest26127, pls use the normal user and the sudo dolphin [00:38] sudo apt-get install kdesudo-kde4 sux [00:39] Guest54066, sorry i meant you [00:39] lol [00:39] How do I burn CDs under kubuntu? [00:40] Another trick is to copy .Xauthority to your /root directory, Guest54066. $ sudo cp /home/USER/.Xauthority /root [00:40] dominique: use k3b [00:40] faileas: thx [00:40] GnuSense, you are noticing the root account and prompt he postet [00:40] Then you can start GUI programs with a normal SUDO command. [00:40] thanks ppl [00:40] ActionParsnip: I was looking in "system settings -> Appearance". Seems that themes are instead in "appearance settings" of desktop right click... so strange ! [00:40] Guess not. [00:41] markit: yeah its weird how they split stuff [00:41] thanks a lot [00:41] it worked [00:41] now for the webcam problem [00:41] Google is your friend. [00:42] it detects it as a usb cam [00:42] not normal [00:42] Just try not to think about the global warming.... [00:42] google offers questions in this case [00:42] not answers === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [00:42] and...more issues [00:43] Guest54066, what cam is it [00:43] canyon ....something [00:43] i dont think one needs do to 'sudo sux' at least i never have in the past... [00:43] gspca [00:43] and isent the command 'kdesudo' ? [00:44] !sudo [00:44] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:44] Make sure you have a program to test your webcam, cheese is supposed to be nice. [00:44] I test it with kopete [00:44] Guest54066, the cam is already noticed ? [00:44] and skype [00:44] gspca sux a bit in skype [00:44] :| [00:44] kubuntu 8.04 detected it like a charm [00:44] you run 'kdesudo command' as a user, from the terminal also.. not after you have allready gotten a root shell. [00:45] in kopete and skype too [00:45] * dr_Willis goes back to sleep [00:45] I used it a lot under kde3.5 [00:45] it always worked [00:45] :( [00:46] now it isnt working ? [00:46] nope [00:46] it detects it as a usb webcam [00:46] dr_Willis: I've always used kdesu, never had a problem. I think it is just an alias for kdesudo, but less typing is better, I always use my .bashrc file to make shortcuts to commands I use alot. [00:46] before it detected it by it's name....vv..something [00:47] now [00:47] it detects it as a usb webcam [00:47] can you pastebin the output of lsusb to pastie.org [00:47] e.g. for apt-cache search in .bashrc: alias search='apt-cache search' [00:47] and only shows black stripes [00:47] i recall wot kde4 there was some odd quirk/bug and kdesudo was born... not sure why [00:48] I'm probably in the wrong IRC channel, not being primarily a KDE4 or Intrepid user, but I played around in Ubuntu and it just seemed a tad busy. [00:49] so...in conclusion...webcam is detected in a wrong way and it shows black/white stripes [00:49] What color shirt are you wearing Guest54066? [00:49] :( [00:49] Guest54066, pls pastebin the output of lsusb to pastie.org [00:50] and then remove the cam from usb [00:50] and then attach it again [00:50] type dmesg into the terminal [00:50] the lines that have to do with the attachjed usb cam pls pastebin this ones too to pastie.org [00:52] ok [00:52] http://pastie.org/363551 [00:53] sorry [00:53] not that [00:53] is trhis lsusb with cam attached ? [00:54] http://pastie.org/363553 [00:54] this one is [00:56] and the dmesg output after attaching it [00:56] i think the last 10 lines should be trelated to the cam [00:56] *-t [00:57] http://pastie.org/363557 [00:57] that's all that I get from lsusb [00:57] complete === marcel is now known as marcel_ [00:58] hi [00:59] GnuSense: re, i'm on with gnome now... and it's fantastic! fast and high stability... [00:59] GnuSense: It's sad that even kde4 looks that nice it's that slow... [00:59] Guest54066, remove the cam attach it [00:59] then open terminal [01:00] dmesg [01:00] kde4 is constantly being woked on.. give it some time [01:00] this will tell u some htings needed [01:00] paste the lines conmtaining the usb cam should be the last 10 lines [01:00] dr_Willis: i will... [01:01] KDE4 is, charitably, beta software. I guess the only way they could get people to give feedback is to release it as finished. Gnome is slowly becoming more usable. They even finally have tabs in nautilus in 8.10. [01:01] gnome is just ugly looking [01:01] :| [01:01] lol [01:02] GnuSense: 4.2 is loads better, but i kinda do agree it could do with a little more work [01:02] I was excited by KDE4 and couldn't wait to try it, but every time I do I'm just disappointed, though I do rather like some of the new KDE4 versions of some of the applications. [01:02] KDE4 may be, IYO beta software, but Gnome is terribly out of date, and seems to fear any large updates [01:02] upgrading version only affects the one partition? === gnuton is now known as Gnut[OFF] [01:03] gnome dosent change just to change. ;0 its slow and steady.. and even then it dont like change..heh [01:03] gtk is just ugly looking its maybe good but ugly looking :D [01:03] innovative new features - that 6 mo later get dropped becuse no one liked them anyway = ms thinking at times.. heh [01:03] GnuSense: i'm wondering how long before they get konversation updated ;p [01:03] ugly? never noticed.. it displays the widgets and text just fine for me... [01:04] i don think that transparent effects, and other eyecandy really matter much [01:04] What bugs me is that KDE4 has stripped so much of the customizability out of KDE, now is reminds me of a slow, buggy Gnome. [01:04] its personal feeling i think so it looks just ugly to me [01:04] :) [01:04] maybe its cause iam using kde for 10 years now [01:04] :D [01:04] people rarely even rant about fonts these days. i rember back when even using ttf fonts was a 'expert only' hack.. heh [01:05] upgrading version only affects the one partition or entire drive? [01:05] ??? [01:05] what one partition do you mean and what update [01:05] gutsy to hardy [01:06] ghostcube again, http://pastie.org/363567 [01:06] it upgrads the package... what does parittions/drives have todo with it? [01:06] Guest54066, i dont want lsusb from you :) [01:06] Guest54066, i want the dmesg output [01:07] its an command [01:07] if you got /usr/ mounted from /dev/sdz1 then it will upgrade files on that drive [01:07] ghostcube: i used to be a windows user for ages. KDE felt comfy, gnome didn't (well it was better when i swapped it to having a single bar, and adjusted the layout loads... ;p) [01:07] i still uses windows [01:07] i need adobe [01:07] :D [01:07] thanks === d-flo is now known as ljs123 [01:08] Guest54066, open terminal and type dmesg [01:08] it's amazing upgrading is 700mb and so is a fresh install @_@ [01:08] asobi, nearly not really [01:08] ok [01:08] a bunch of lines there [01:08] I'll paste them all [01:08] Guest54066, you will see what i mean the ones containing the attached webcam [01:08] the last 20 or so [01:10] ok [01:10] http://pastie.org/363568 [01:10] I guess that would be it [01:11] Guest54066, that looks ok so far [01:11] what tools have you used to check the cam [01:12] kopete and skype [01:12] Guest54066, sudo apt-get install cheese [01:12] worked like a charm under them in 8.04 [01:12] k, i'll try [01:12] Guest54066, seems to be anything inside the driver that is strange [01:13] Guest54066, are you on kde 4.1.3 ? [01:14] you can try to update to newer kernel and newer packages i dont know if this would change anything === Danu is now known as Kulungulele [01:15] actionparsnip: hi again... still not working [01:15] Brad777: whats not?

[01:25] no need on youre card [01:26] afaik [01:26] the normal ati driver should be ok [01:26] the open source one [01:26] can u pastebin the xorg.conf file to pastie.org [01:26] so, will compi work without that installed? === _roconnor is now known as roconnor [01:26] Guest54066, it should work with the ati drivers [01:26] Basically for some reason my gui has failed because of an unrelated error?

[02:01] nah this is part of x11 you cant uninstall this embedded drivers [02:01] no worry about this [02:01] I was wondering, wheter I need that part for my Nvidia card. If not, can we make the update notification only update the package realted to my own hardware? [02:02] ideally, my Linux system should have a profile/database of what exact hardware components it's installed one [02:02] then, it will only update the package related to my hardware, say nvidia, not telling my anything about Intel and Ati [02:02] savvid, xorg contains build in drivers for many cards it wont do any harm to have them [02:03] is this doable in these days? [02:04] hi Ghostcube, yes, but, it might consume more my RAM or Harddisk if all other system package do the same [02:05] is this correct understanding? [02:05] hmmm you can build linux from scratch to avoid this or youse gentoo [02:05] ubuntu is not supposed to be single user optimized [02:05] I thought that each component in laptop or desktop has unique vendor and product ID [02:05] savvid, but if not loaded it wont take any ram [02:06] few kb of hdd [02:06] during the installation, the system should be able to collect all these info and build a profile/database [02:06] from that time on, it wyo [02:06] so i really dont get the prob if u install macosx or windoze you have millions of this crap [02:06] savvid, this is part of an package [02:06] it will only update anything to that machine relnate [02:06] not of youre hardware [02:06] d to that profile [02:07] thanks [02:07] its just the way the packages for xorg act :) [02:07] its not an kubuntu specific thing [02:07] How do I change my startup items?

[07:58] yes [07:58] yep - set thr rates the same in both os's [07:58] Lol your monitor sucks nigger dick [07:59] I think you adjust those settings in XRandR which you can mess around with from system settings/display.

[08:40] VirtualBox [08:40] i use virtualbox all the time :) [08:40] i dont have to much exp with virtual machines [08:40] up to u doctor [08:41] On VirtualBox i have also Debian with kde and if works great [08:41] you need to instsall the 'guest' addations to fully use all the features [08:41] but if anyone has any experience with sync like opensync i would let u know that everthing is woring and the sync says sucess but nothing did sync [08:42] what do you mean ? can you help me step by setp ? As i said i'm noob and just starting with linux. [08:42] oh i might want to be in a gnome chat i guess [08:42] kubuntu a little fir [08:42] dir [08:42] kde4life! [08:42] lol [08:42] im a gnome person [08:42] i have kde4 :)it looks wonderful!!! [08:43] my first linu distro was kde [08:43] I should get a tatoo of that. That would rock. [08:43] mateusz, you have kubuntu running in virtualbox right now in a window? [08:43] dont know why i dint stick [08:43] yes, [08:43] in the menus should be some item to mount the guest addations cd. [08:44] he cd then shold appear whever cd's appear on kde4 ;) i dont rember... [08:44] Dr_Willis, if you want to help me maybe we ill move to PrivateChat, we wont disturb here :) [08:44] basically you run the script on the cd.. thats abut all there is to it [08:45] the virtualbox manual at the homepage gives details ;) [08:45] do i have to mount the installation cd of kubuntu into virtual machine ? [08:45] thats what the menu does.. you may need to manually mount it with the moun command [08:46] dependign onyour vbox setup. it can vary [08:46] ok, got it, kubuntu sees the cd [08:46] i always copy verything from the 'guest cd' once i mount it to someplace on the installed os.. so i dont have toworry about it any more [08:46] i can now explore the cd [08:46] that makes tit easier to reinstall th guest addatons later if needed [08:47] ok, i have the cs on my kubuntu, what now ? [08:47] *cd [08:47] copy all the files from it to some place... [08:48] vbox_tools or similer [08:48] then start up a shell, cd to that dir.. and run the script as root user with kdesudo or sudo [08:49] i forget what script it is or what its called. [08:49] what is the name of the script ? [08:50] i'll type all names of the directories on cd: [08:50] look and see :) it should be obvious [08:50] dists, doc, install, isolinux, pics, pool, preseed, ubuntu [08:51] which is correct ? [08:51] thats not the vmware cd... [08:51] :) [08:51] that's the cs of kubuntu installation [08:51] that looks like a real cd, or the one you insalled from [08:52] where can i het the right script ? [08:52] in vrtualbox theres an option/menu that 'inserts' the virtuabox guest cd image.iso [08:52] you hae to mount that virtualbox .iso cd image file [08:52] its on there. [08:53] i'm not sure about it, i'm using Sun xVM VirtualBox [08:54] Look in the virtualbox program menus [08:55] ok i think i got it [08:55] It has a 'install vguest addations' or some sort of menu item. :) [08:55] but how to mount it in kubuntu ? [08:55] it should show up where cds show up [08:55] or mount it manually with the mount command [08:55] like you would a real cd [08:55] Dr_willis_: I got it working now I had to find a way to apply the fix suggested in that topic [08:55] that sheep linked [08:56] hot to mount it? i'm noob, dont forget :) [08:57] hi guys can i have help with my bluettoth, i can'y seem to be able to pair my phone with my comp [08:57] Stanley, if you can use gadu-gadu you may ask >: GG: 169916 [08:57] i would say right click on the cd on the desktopp , use eject/unmount or whatever.. then use that menu item.. vbox should tell kde a new cd was inserted [08:58] im not using kde4 so i cant tell you how cd's auto mount in it.. [08:58] you can mount it makually with 'mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' or similer command [08:58] assuming you have the virtual ubuntu cd allready unmounted/ejected [08:59] mateusz what is GG: 169916?? [09:00] it is an ID of communicator visit gadu-gadu.pl [09:00] ok [09:00] dr, i have ejected the kubuntu installation cd, but i cant mount the iso with addons [09:01] but i can't even get kdebluettoth tools to open [09:01] mateusz, try the mount command , or tell the menus to eject/reisert the guest cd [09:01] stanley, the guy hiden under this number made every posiible bluetooth connection on gentoo with kde. [09:02] i have ejected the kubuntu install cd in menus [09:02] ok [09:02] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.0.4.iso [09:03] ya could download it and manually tell the thing to mount the .iso i guess. [09:04] ok, i'm downloading :), but still have no idea why i cant mount the iso form windows hdd, the install cd of kubuntu is visible, but not the addons iso :( === Gnut[OFF] is now known as gnuton [09:04] i used the vbox menus -> devices -> unmount cdrom [09:04] i made the same [09:04] you did INSTALL kubutnu allready? [09:04] or are you running it from the live cd - in vbox? [09:05] installed [09:05] ok, now i got it it works now [09:05] then when you exit out of vbox. you can tell it to not need the kubuntu.iso file any more :) no need for it [09:05] i have acces to the addons iso on my kubuntu [09:05] you might accidently boot from the virutal cd. insteadof the virtual hd. [09:06] it doesn't matter now :) i got the addons cd :) === famille is now known as achille [09:06] i have some items on it [09:07] VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run - is it the right one ? [09:07] How, under ubuntu do I change my default dm to kdm (from gdm) [09:07] GDM seems to have failed on me [09:08] mateusz yep. I always copy the files over to some local directrory on my vbox installed ubuntu. so i dont need to mess with the cd later. [09:08] some times kernel updates can mess things up and you have to reinstall them after a update [09:08] ok but is the "VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run" the script i need? [09:08] yes [09:08] will i need other scripts form the cd ? [09:08] run it from terminal as root user with sudo or kdesudo [09:09] not sure what all is needed from the cd.. I copy everything over. [09:10] sudo VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run [09:10] sudo: VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run: command not found [09:13] hot to run the script ? [09:13] use the ./path perhaps [09:13] sudo ./Vbox :) [09:14] i think it is installing now [09:14] you may need build-essential or some other stuff installed.. been a while since i last messed with it [09:14] You must restart your guest system in order to complete the installation. :) [09:14] so now ii hve to reboot ?> [09:15] /I love the opensource, it is onderfull when you allways can count on other users! [09:15] Dr_willis, do i now have to reboot my kubuntu ? [09:16] proberly. [09:16] virtual reboot :) eject the unneeded kubuntyu.iso file from the default vbox settings also [09:16] ok, i'll be back in wef minuters :) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:21] hello [09:22] Morning [09:22] dr, i have now bigger resollution, but there is still no 1280 1024 [09:22] hi [09:22] How do i get the tools for compiling kde4 apps??

[09:26] /csdeop [09:29] I have jusr dived into KDE 4.1 because I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. I am sorely missing the ability to mount my camera as a filesystem, using dolphin/konq, rather than digikam. I don't want tp use digikam because the files it uploads have the timestamp set to import time, not EXIF photo time [09:29] my camera doesn't show up the the New Devices widget (I don't think I can configure it to be a usb storage device vs a PTP [09:30] any clues as to what I can do? Is there a popup I can enable like I used to get on KDE 3.x that allows me to, essentially, open in a new window? [09:33] hi all === xxx is now known as Guest4478 [09:41] anyone using 4.2 intrepid able to use digikam and gwenview? in my system one wants to uninstall the other...

[09:43] zeltak: Id give that one a try if its not a production system [09:43] sure im willing to try (even though it is a production system LOL) [09:43] :-) [09:44] zeltak: with ppa stuff it may hose your system, but its your choice. make sure you are backed up.

[10:01] I've got a small question about the desktop effects, it should work when you've installed the geforce 8800 gts drivers (cause it supports 3d)? [10:07] you can try [10:11] hi... is xine the same as alsa? [10:11] dominique: no, alsa is driver level thing, kinda [10:11] Tm_T: what is xine then? [10:11] dominique: xine is just application layer to decode audio/video [10:12] hard simplification there [10:13] Tm_T: How do I see, if I have ALSA installed and if I do use it? [10:13] for example, audio player pushes file to xine, which then pushes audio to alsa which handles your soundcard to get some output [10:13] dominique: you don't use it directly [10:13] Tm_T: But how do I see, that it's ALSA who talks to my sound card and not Chuck Norris? [10:14] zeltak: great :) [10:16] dominique: it depends on what app you're using, but I'm 99 % sure it's alsa you're using [10:16] dominique: what's the problem exactly? [10:16] hi, I am writing an article on kde4.2. This is last week-end before I deliver the paper so... [10:17] there is someone here that can help me on strigi & nepomuk working on my kubuntu? [10:17] re [10:18] Tm_T: my kwin just crashed, can't type in konversation [10:18] Tm_T: the problem is, that every sound output of my computer stocks... [10:18] Tm_T: even there is no pressure on the cpu [10:18] !sound | dominiqu1 [10:18] dominiqu1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:19] dominiqu1: you prolly have to ignore the first part there [10:19] Tm_T: I should then go to the URL given? [10:20] yes [10:20] Tm_T: Thank you. [10:21] damn... why can't lynx connect to https? [10:21] !nepomuk|fabio [10:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about nepomuk [10:21] dominiqu1: what kind of pc are you running (desktop, laptop)? Just wondering :) [10:21] !nepomuk|strigi [10:21] Draiden: Laptop [10:21] Hey I have a problem with my screen flickering when I play videos (ubuntu 8.10, nvidia 180.22) I get the flicker when the video effects (compiz) is set to none. If its set to normal, extra or custom I don't get any flickering. [10:21] dominqu1: alright :) [10:21] !lynx [10:21] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [10:22] Draiden: Why :D? [10:22] ok, thankyou all [10:23] dominqu1: I'm gathering information about kubuntu, because I'm thinking of installing it on this pc (which is just a normal pc), but usually those problems you have are found on a pc where you have to find the better drivers, isn't it? [10:24] Draiden: In terms of drivers i had to look for some for my wireless card and my Nvidia-grafic card. All other devices were recognized from kubuntu [10:24] nice, and you haven't got any problems with the desktop effects? [10:25] Draiden: alteast I don't have problems with 'em [10:25] Draiden: No, not really. I activated them and they all work (and look nice); sometimes my kwin crashes (my keyboard does no effect) [10:25] Draiden: But i'm not sure if it's because of the desktop effects === RoozbehOffline is now known as roozbehonline [10:26] errr/lastlog bigtone [10:26] dominqu1|Tm_T: alright, I was experiencing a few problems, but those were due to vmware (no real graphics card) and because I was using the install disk as a preview. [10:26] whupps [10:27] Tm_T: Should I prefer OSS than ALSA? [10:27] dominiqu1: no, you should prefer ALSA if you ask me [10:27] dominqu1|Tm_T: But I was still thinking about the normal Desktop version of Ubuntu (gnome if i'm not mistaking) and this kde version, which version do you guys prefer? [10:27] Tm_T: That's what i'm doing right now, so i'll prefer ALSA too :=) [10:28] Draiden: KDE ofcourse [10:28] Draiden: I installed gnome here on my kubuntu too and I think, it's quite faster than kde. [10:28] yep [10:28] i agree dominiqu1 [10:28] Draiden: But it's not that beautiful as kde4:D [10:29] and it f*in crashed when I opened terminal emulator :( [10:29] hola [10:30] dominiqu1: hehe, but is the beauty and sleek design of kde the only real advantage over gnome? and you can just switch between the two through the command line I guess? (I'm used to working on the command line (server edition of ubuntu)) === esteban is now known as esteban__ [10:32] hi [10:32] Draiden: You can choose which window manager to use at the start of a session [10:32] !KDE4.1 [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about KDE4.1 [10:32] !KDE4 [10:32] kde4 is KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

Maybe you should check x11 config files, or even better search google (what you've already done i suppose) -- sorry [10:50] ka: if i'm correct, otherwise it should be something like make uninstall?

[11:05] well if you're just missing the bar, you could just add it back [11:05] right click on the desktop, add panel, then add applet on the panel, choose task list [11:07] ka hm killed it, started it. black screen :D [11:07] anyone from the netherlands? [11:07] hagabaka: there was no desktop either, just apps [11:07] cool... [11:07] ka ok i think i 've got to stop kde xD [11:08] while linux seems to be very stable, the desktop environments still aren't [11:08] sure the desktop enviroments are [11:08] which ones have you tried? [11:08] dominiqu1: the server edition of ubuntu 8.10 is very stable :) [11:09] Draiden: believe that [11:09] dominiqu1: I've got it running on my server in the datacenter with vmware server on it [11:09] hayper__ch kde4.1, gnome (latest stable). They both are not as stable as the windows vista environments (where the os is less stable xD) [11:10] hyper__ just experiences on my own machine :D [11:10] dominiqu1: what are the biggest glitches on the kde and gnome that you have experienced? [11:12] Draiden: Hm there are many [11:13] dominqu1: shame but it still is opensource, many people working on it [11:13] Draiden: apps crash, my keyboard does not react (my mouse still does), render errors, kwin crashed... some things that happen from time to time, sometimes they happen all together :D [11:14] dominqu1: kwin is the application that loads the windows? [11:14] Draiden: ahm afaik it's the one, that decorates the windows with the theme and transmits keyboard signals to them... [11:15] Draiden A good hint for that kwin has crashed is when your shortcuts for desktop effects don't work any longer [11:15] can I get latest amarok in 8.10? [11:16] Draiden This is all in kde when having some apps running... in gnome i made a horrible experience yesterday, when i started a terminal emulation and gnome crashed (keyboard AND mouse didn't work any longer) [11:17] Phlogi Does the repo not work? [11:18] dominqu1: hm, that isn't very stable indeed. that makes xp/vista more stable than those environments indeed, although the rest of windows is quite nasty [11:18] eheh [11:19] dominiqu1: I work with vista at work and they've downgraded a lot of options [11:19] you dont want to get me started on the problems ive had with vista/xp this week.... [11:19] heh [11:19] Draiden: Yeah, but it's quite stable, isn't it? [11:19] dr_Willis You can give a summary? :D [11:20] dominiqu1: never mind [11:20] domiqu1: yes it works, but there is still a thing like a buffer which loads up [11:21] Draiden Yeah, the system basics are not unix-like-efficient, but i never had to restart my vista-desktop-environment because it crashed. [11:22] dominiqu1: true. but I think the gnome version on eeebuntu is quite stable [11:22] Draiden but i remarked, that my whole system was getting slower the longer i used it... [11:22] dominiqu1: on vista? [11:22] Draiden yes. [11:23] dominqu1: that still makes me wonder about those kind of persons which have their pc on 24/7, how slow those systems must be :P [11:23] Draiden xD stupid you [11:24] !ot [11:24] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

[12:10] i cant get konsole to open my sdb(aka pendrive) [12:10] *stick [12:11] Shadeslayer, and why is this a #kubuntu support type question? or am i missing somthing? [12:11] well i wanted some help with the terminal [12:11] the fdisk /dev/sdb does not open my pendrive [12:11] mount the thing manually perhaps? 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1' [12:12] sudo fdisk /dev/devicename [12:12] assuming you are using ubuntu/kubuntu :) you need sudo [12:13] it says command(m for help) [12:13] yes.. thats fdisk's interface.. [12:13] david, you said I should add mediaubuntu to repositirories. how exactly do I do that [12:14] m for help, p to print info. , d for delete, n for new... [12:14] be sure to 'w'rite changes back to the disk after you do stuff to it. [12:14] ok [12:15] You may want to read up on linux partitioning basics/fdisk tutorials if this is all geek to you. :) [12:15] or use gparted/qtparted [12:15] im a bit of a geek too,so no need [12:15] Linux fdisk is a radical differance from windows/dos old fdisk :) [12:15] its actually useable. heh [12:16] so when i do this:l /dev/sdb it gives me various formats,what do they mean [12:16] filesytems you can use [12:16] can i format my pendrive?? [12:16] with the file systems [12:16] you fdisk to make the partition layouts .. then you format them [12:16] if its paritioned how you like.. you dont need fdisk [12:16] ok [12:17] and BTW doesnt kubuntu support booting off USB's too [12:17] most every disrto can boot/run from usb if set up right [12:18] theres 'booting' then theres running :) [12:18] *running [12:18] lol [12:18] the unetbootin tool can take many disrtos iso files and gerneate a bootable thumb drive from them automatically [12:18] so you have a usb-live-thumbdfrive [12:18] ooohhhwhere can i find that [12:18] thats not quite the same as a 'installed to a usb drive' setup [12:19] google for 'unetbootin' :) [12:19] ok so its like a live thumbdrive [12:19] pendrivelinux.com also has tools/tutorials [12:19] like a live CD [12:19] ubuntu has a tool to make a live-cd-thumbdrive with a persistant save area.. so its a bit of both worlds [12:20] manyu other distros can do this with more features also [12:20] i basically need a GUI based platform to do this [12:20] to do what exactly? [12:21] to make the live thumbdrive [12:21] ubuntu has a tool to do it.. then theres unetbootin [12:21] deoending on the disrto you are working with. some have other tools [12:21] puppylinux and slitaz both have tools to install to a thumbdrive [12:22] i think ill go with unetbootin === linus is now known as linus_ === linus_ is now known as linus__ [12:22] unetbootin has ports of it for linux and windows [12:23] yeah looking at the site now [12:24] dr_willis:the people at #suse said it does not work sometimes [12:25] will try it out anyways [12:27] hello [12:27] somehow I fu**** up my kde ;) kwin can no longer start [12:27] kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libkephal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [12:27] Shadeslayer: it worked for me perfectly [12:27] is there some way to reinstall kde desktop [12:27] Shadeslayer: I've used it for eeebuntu and installed it on my acer one [12:28] 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 » [12:29] I don't know if it works perfectly, just copied from a conversation a couple of hours ago [12:29] 'removeing/reinstalling' is windows thinking. :) i have to wonder where that library went to [12:29] Hi!

CPU is running around 20%. Symptoms are - when selecting text in console or changing tabs in console (by mouse), konsole takes between 1 and four seconds to recognize/implement the action associated with the mouse selection. This used to be instantaneous. In firefox when changing tabs by mouse it also takes 3 to 4 seconds or is completely ignored!

[14:50] well, it does follow xorg.conf still [14:50] The strange part is that I used the nvidia app on my other computer and fixed my xinerama display with it. [14:50] ahh that explains it then. [14:50] weird... on kde3 its worked like a charm.. :( [14:50] nothing last forever... [14:51] on laptop monitor I want to use resolution 1440x1280.. and tv 800x600 [14:51] Try installing nvidia-settings from synaptic. And configure your second display there.

BUT does my bluetooth headset create anything in /dev?

[20:20] raidenovich2: right -- it has to do with the way the filesystem does writes.
