kelviethe kde 4 theme for firefox is out of date... and buggy00:00
earleit works pretty well for me...00:00
DerStillePeteokay how do i check it out ?00:00
earleapart from the odd scrollbar arrows :)00:00
legodude__kelvie: howso buggy?00:00
RoeyIs 4.2 not going into Intrepid Ibex by default?00:01
kelvielegodude__: the scrollbar arrows00:01
legodude__oh00:01
earlekelvie: good to know it wasn't just on my machine!00:01
legodude__it crashes a lot for me, is unusable00:01
kelviehehe00:01
Roeywill it only appear natively in Jaunty?00:01
kelviebut can anyone else with an intel card try changing resolutions within KWin?00:02
kelvieit crashes X :O00:02
kelviefor me, at least00:02
kelviewhich means I can't do presentations on my laptop00:02
legodude__kelvie: I don't know if it is the same problem, but whenever I try to go fullscreen mine crashes00:03
DerStillePeteearle: where do i find this kde 4 firefox theme ?00:03
Freddy2DerStillePete: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/757400:04
earleYeah, what Freddy said. Sorry, I'm running in console mode now so not much good for webby stuff.00:05
mefisto__the firefox kde4 theme is a good idea but needs a bit more work00:06
psycohey guys, so installed kde 4.2, and now when I boot up I get "kinit: no resume image"00:07
psycoand it stays in console,00:07
psycoand it asks me to login....00:08
DerStillePetethanks so far, i'll have a look at it later00:08
psycoand when I "startx" it tries but it can't find splash, windows managers, anything00:08
earleI see the no resume image message as well, come to think of it.00:08
earleNot sure if that's just debug info.00:08
psycohow should I get past it? I get stuck there00:09
DerStillePeteso is there an issue with gwenview and digikam ?00:09
DerStillePeteor libkipi600:10
DerStillePeteseems like i can only have either digikam or gwenview....00:10
earleUH. WHAT. kde-core wasn't installed o_O00:12
mefisto__earle and psyco: maybe try editing your fstab and replace the UUID for swap partition to /dev/sda5 (or whatever your swap partition is) then reboot00:12
Macerthis sucks00:12
Macerkubuntu on a macbook doesn't support adhoc networking00:13
Maceri give up00:13
earlemefisto__: *nod*00:13
Macerguess it's back to osx00:13
earleawwww00:13
Macerit's a shame too because i really like kubuntu00:13
earledon't go back to the dark side!00:13
Maceri need to be able to have my phone tethered00:13
Macerand adhoc wifi is the only way to do it on a G100:13
Macermy n800 works great with the adhoc network stuff.. kubuntu (most likely because of the wifi driver) can't seem to grasp the concept of an open adhoc network00:14
earleosx is made of slugs, used gum and the tears of orphaned children00:14

Roey:)00:14
Maceri've tried it every which way00:14
RoeyIs 4.2 not going into Intrepid Ibex by default?00:14
Roeywill it only appear natively in Jaunty?00:14
Roeyor debut in jaunty, rather?00:15
earleO LAWD IS DAT SOME KDE 4.2?!00:15
earleHALLELUJAH00:16
earlefacepalm.jpg00:16
earleI can't believe the problem all this time was that *something* uninstalled kde-core00:16
earle:D :D00:17
ofvafter upgrading to 4.2, the taskbar is blue-ish instead of black. how can i revert this change?00:17
Freddy2switch to oxygen theme at desktop options00:17
earleI have now seen that blue for the first time. I like it!00:17
RoeySo again00:17
earleOxygen is too Vista-ish for my tastes :)00:17
RoeyI noticed according to the FAQ that KDE 4.2 is in the PPA experimental respository for Intrepid.  Will it stay there indefinitely, or will it move into the main repository?00:18
Roeyearle:  oxygen has no contrast00:18
ofvFreddy2: the theme is oxygen, it is the only one.00:18
JontheEchidnaRoey: eventually it'll be in intrepid-backports, but it should stay even after KDE 4.2 is in -backports00:18
Roeyhmm ok.00:19
Freddy2i've just tested a live cd including kde 4.2 and the droplist had a few themes, including blue, black, ..00:19
DerStillePeteahhh and finally ark is usable00:19
RoeySo kde 4.2 is really only going to come by default in Jaunty then00:19
Roeyyes?00:19
JontheEchidnacorrect00:19
Roeyok.00:19
jammen33anyone having anything break when going to kde4.2 from 4.2beta00:19
RoeyI assume the same thing with kde 4.3 and Jaunty00:19
Freddy2DerStillePete: but no ark plasmoid for drag & drop in order to (de)compress files/folders, isn't it?00:20
RoeyJaunty comes out in April and KDE 4.3 two months later00:20
mefisto__earle: so you've logged in to kde4?00:20
earleYep :) Using the new user I created.00:20
earleIt looks DELICIOUS.00:20
DerStillePeteplasmoid are not really working for me so far00:20
earleSorry, feeling slightly euphoric at the stress release.00:20
DerStillePetewell some of them do actually00:21
JontheEchidnaRoey: Yes. KDE 4.3 and its prereleases will be delivered in a similar manner in Jaunty as 4.2 was in Intrepid00:21
mefisto__earle: how did you work out that kde-core was not installed?00:21
jammen33do any plasmoids break from beta to final?00:21
DerStillePetei didnt had the betas installed00:22
DerStillePeteso i came from 4.1 with some self-compiled plasmoids00:22
earlemefisto__: I was going to uninstall it completely and reinstall it. Imagine my surprise!00:23
DerStillePeteso for instance weather is not working right now00:23
emanuelIs kontact showing '%n' in the summary page for someone else here? I have it in Spanish an it says, for example, for a coming event, "en %n dias" (Spanish for 'in %n days') instead of showing the actual number.00:23
Freddy2mola XD00:24
Macersigh00:24
Macerlet me install osx again00:24
Macerdamnit00:24
ofvthe taskbar is blue, but teh background of some widgets (luna, volume, kcpuload) is black. The application launcher has a black backround, and the taskbar tooltips have a black background too. This is not nice at all.00:25
earleHmm. New problem. I moved /home/testuser to /home/earle, now I'm getting "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check"00:25
gorgonizer also having problems with a number of plasmoids, though that may be due to the number I have running :(00:25
=== peter_ is now known as Guest57922
DerStillePeteso how do i get rid of the old plasmoids an make sure the new ones work ?00:26
=== Guest57922 is now known as peter__
=== peter__ is now known as expat
earleOkay, moving it back works... Hmm.00:26
DerStillePetewas there an issue with the plasmoids in the rc's ?00:27
gorgonizerI have had the same issue with plasmoids since Beta 2 if I recollect...00:27

* earle waves from KDE 4.2-land00:30
DerStillePetei think i had only weather self-compiled00:30
DerStillePeteif i remember right00:30
DerStillePetebut the world plasmoid is also not working00:30
JontheEchidnayou'd need to recompile it, if it still compiles with KDE 4.200:30
JontheEchidnawhat version is kdeplasma-addons at?00:31
JontheEchidnaapt-cache policy kdeplasma-addons00:31
DerStillePeteah oh.... installed: none00:32
DerStillePeteso im supposed to install this one, right ?00:33
JontheEchidnathat's where the globe plasmoid is provided in KDE 4.200:33
DerStillePetethanks ! and weather too ??00:33
JontheEchidnathere is a weather widget, but not the same one as available from KDE 4.1 in Intrepid00:34
gorgonizerI have 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa2 installed, and the globe and LCD Weather plasmoids fail to load... well, the Add widgets window just sits there and nothing happens...00:34
gorgonizereventually I have to kill the Add Widgets window, which kills plasma, and then I have to restart plasma..00:34
JontheEchidnaare you sure there aren't any packages that still need upgrading/00:35
gorgonizerI did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade...00:35
gorgonizerI have to force the installation of the wallpaper package, but everything else seemed to install okay..00:36
DerStillePetejon, the globe no fails with OpenGL shader not supported00:36
JontheEchidnaI'd do a sudo apt-get install -f to make sure all the packages were configured properly00:36
JontheEchidnaDerStillePete: yeah, that's expected if your card doesn't have pixel shaders or you aren't using the 3D drivers for your card00:37
JontheEchidnaif you do then that's a bug00:37
DerStillePeteno its okay on this laptop i think i do have a low profile hardware00:38
psycoanyone know how to solve this problem? http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/8990/p1040024so7.jpg00:38
BluesKajohoh , desktop is frozen...havent seen that in kde 4.2 before :P00:38
DerStillePetebut weather forecast still fails00:38
gorgonizerall the plasma packages for 4.2 seem to be installed..00:39
psyco* I just installed 4.200:39
DerStillePetepsyco: yeah me00:39
gorgonizerapt-get install -f only indicates that a package could be removed, nothing needs configuring/reconfiguring..00:39

BizzehJontheEchidna: is it stable? gentoo seem to be having problems with it00:46
JontheEchidnaA few components do crash on startup but it's more of just an annoyance because it puts up a "this app crashed" dialog00:47
JontheEchidnawell, we've gotten reports of that. I myself haven't been experiencing them00:47

khalidmianmefisto__: isnt there an open source program similar to alcohol 1201:53
gorgonizerno need to apologise khalidmian, also kiso may do what you want with regards to running virtual drives (I think)..01:53
staggathe burning software alcohol 1201:53
khalidmiangorgonizer: would it be sudo apt-get kscreensaver01:53
gorgonizerit would be sudo apt-get install kscreensaver01:54
mefisto__khalidmian: maybe. I did find a konqueror servicemenu that worked well to do it automatically01:54
khalidmianstagga alcohol is more then a burning software its an emulator of cds/dvds01:54
khalidmiangorgonizer: would it be sudo apt-get kscreensaver???01:54
seele"Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids." < just plasmoids i added to the install or does that include the base plasmoids as well?01:55

JontheEchidnaandre_pl: installing the kde-core package should pull in only the basics02:09
JontheEchidnait's the bare minimum02:09
cbwcjwWell that hits my question.. sort-of. Is there something that covers it all?02:09
JontheEchidnafor a more "normal" experience, installing kubuntu-desktop should give you all the KDE apps installed in a default kubuntu installation02:09
cbwcjwThanks :D02:10

cbwcjwNo, I just didnt get anything. Also, kubuntu-desktop could not be found02:10

Aranelis something wrong with kde4.2 packages? they fail at kde-window-manager and systemsettings02:15

usppeople where did u get 4.2, is it official repository ?02:27
gorgonizercbwcjw: I have plasmoids everywhere, I think I may have reached a natural limit of the number of plasmoids that can be used..02:27

carpiioutlines03:25
mefisto__carpii: yes, but I can't remember how I did it03:26
ibeekman@mefisto: I accidentally (from konsole/bash) typted sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras03:26
ibeekmanrather than kubuntu-restricted-extras03:26
carpiiibeekman, just apt-get remove it03:26
ibeekmanand now I am in some license agreement within the konsole window, but it looks like and old ms-dos psuedo gui03:26
carpiihmm mefisto, if you can remember that would be great. it always bugs me :)03:27
ibeekmanI scroll to the bottom and there is '<Ok>' written03:27
ibeekmanbut typing yes, ok, enter, etc. does nothing03:27
mefisto__ibeekman: use tab to highlight the "ok" and then hit enter03:27
ibeekmanomg thank you, sorry about that03:27
mefisto__ibeekman: happens to a lot of people03:28
Amelie1973mefisto03:30
Amelie1973i tried a lot of things03:30
BentFrankdid something weird happen to freenode last night?  like a lot of bouncing connections or something?03:30
Amelie1973and still can't watch youtube03:30
mefisto__carpii: ok, system settings, desktop, (in "background" tab) advanced options03:30

Amelie1973i've been closing the browser and restarting everytime03:34
Amelie1973how do i purge the adobe installation?03:34

Amelie1973i just copy an information from a website to get it downn03:35
carpiidoes anyone else get a trail of dotted outline left behind, when dragging kde 3.5 desktop icons ?03:35
mefisto__sudo apt-get purge flashplayer-nonfree03:35

carpiiahh03:36
carpiifor me it only disappears wheni drag a selection box over the artifacts03:36
carpiino biggie, just a little annoyance03:36

jon_high9000hi there. i have reinstalled kubuntu 8.10 today and also reinstall KDM Theme Manager again. im still having problems accessing the kdm theme manager. has anybody else had better luck?04:13
mefisto__jon_high9000: don't know if kde4 uses the same commands as kde3, but try doing this in konsole: kcmshell --list04:21
jon_high9000<mefisto> No protocol specified04:24
mefisto__did you put in --list at the end?04:24
jon_high9000<mefisto> kcmshell: cannot connect to X server :004:25
jon_high9000at the end04:25
mefisto__jon_high9000: you're doing this in konsole? or a virtual terminal?04:26
jon_high9000konsole04:27
jon_high9000<mefisto> does it matter if it is in superuser account or no?04:28
mefisto__jon_high9000: have you enabled root account? or you just mean you used sudo?04:29
jon_high9000it is both actually. yes i did04:30
mefisto__jon_high9000: so you're logged in to kde as root now?04:30
jon_high9000<mefisto> yes.04:30
mefisto__oh man04:31
jon_high9000<mefisto> i will log out of root and retry. ok?04:31
astrommeas anormal user04:31
astrommetry: "sudo /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US"04:32
mefisto__ahh so it's kcmshell404:32
astrommemefisto__: Yeah, I guess so04:33
sorsethi, can i have normal desktop, like kde3 in kde 4.2?04:33
mefisto__is kcmshell maybe symlinked to kcmshell4 in kde4?04:34
jon_high9000<astromme> that did the trick thanks.04:34
astrommejon_high9000: Glad to see it worked04:34
jon_high9000<logged out ofcourse.04:34
astrommejon_high9000: It _should_ also be in the System Settings -> Advanced -> Login Manager04:35
jon_high9000but it worked anyhow04:35
jon_high9000<astromme> yes it is.04:35
sorseti mean use desktop as folder!04:36
jon_high9000<astromme> is there a way to set it so i dont have to keep entering the command just to access kdm theme?04:37
jon_high9000<astromme> i.e. shortcut to kmenu04:38
astrommejon_high9000: Well... you don't have it in systemsettings?04:38
astrommesorset: Kubuntu 8.10? with kde 4.1?04:39
jon_high9000<astromme> no unfortunately i dont04:39
jon_high9000Kubuntu 8.1004:39
sorsetastromme: 8.10 with 4.204:39
astrommejon_high9000: Hmm... well you might be able to create some sort of launcher, I dunno.04:39
astrommesorset: Unlock your desktop. go into Appearance Settings (right click on desktop) and switch the "Type" to a folderview04:40
jon_high9000<astromme> i have the location now thanks to you. that should help. ;)04:41
astrommejon_high9000: ok04:41
sorsetastromme: thank you :)04:42
sorseta believe its better04:42
astrommesorset: No problem. I do suggest experimenting with the new desktop and normal folderview(s) however, they are very flexible.04:42

BattleStarJesushow do I install gflashplayer05:15
QContinueumheh, i suppose i'll just sit on my hands then05:15
astrommeQContinueum: I agree with carpii. I haven't used it myself though05:15
astrommeSome have had great success with it. It's probably (or will be) an improvement over the 4.1 that ships with intrepid05:16
cbwcjwIts a lot of fun05:16
astrommeI'm on Jaunty myself, which works fine for the most part. I know how to tinker and fix things though, which helps immensely05:16
cbwcjwwww.mxclan.org/ss.png <-- theres a screenshot of my desktop currentlly05:17
astrommeFor example nvidia doesn't work unless I pass a special parameter (ignoreABI) to X1105:17
carpiii dunno how you can work with that05:17
carpiiall these nice monitor resolutions and they just make everything so damn big again05:17
carpiiits like 800*600 all over again05:18
RAOFHow would one get (Jaunty's) amarok to play mp3s?  It seems to play flacs fine, but not mp3, not with the xine backend nor the gstreamer backend.05:20
astrommeif we're in the screenshot sharing zone, mine is here: http://blog.chatonka.com/Desktop-Plasma-4.2.png05:21
RAOFI presume that System settings->Multimedia->backend, selecting gstreamer, and hitting "apply" will _actually_ make it use the gstreamer backend?05:21
cbwcjwAwesome astromme. You people who like to customize :)05:21
cbwcjwI dont really, partly out of lazyness, partly out of, well lazyness05:22
astrommeRAOF -> you should be able to install something akin to libxine-extracodecs. Search for it with apt-cache or adept05:23
RAOFSo the gstreamer backend is a no-go, then?05:23
cbwcjwAnywhere I could get that neat little todo app? That seems pretty useful.05:24
astrommesudo apt-get install libxine1-all-plugins should do the trick05:24
cbwcjwAwesome.05:24
astrommeRAOF: I've heard the gstreamer has weird bugs and generally doesn't work very well05:24
RAOFThat's a bit of a pity.05:24
astrommecbwcjw: That's a plasma interface for rememberthemilk. I'm developing it in playground, but it needs some time still05:24
cbwcjwastromme: Anywhere I could get that neat app? seems pretty useful05:24
cbwcjwastromme: Ah.05:24
astrommeRAOF: yeah, I agree. Although the xine backend seems to work wonderfully for me, playing mp3s from it now05:25
astrommecbwcjw: Don't worry, I'm working on it =). I'd be just as pleased as you would be to see it in a release (of either Kubuntu or KDE)05:26
jessieSo, any news on whether or not mysql 5.1 will be included?05:26
cbwcjwastromme: Especially hanging out right there on my desktop :)05:26
RAOFjessie: In Jaunty?  Certainly; using it now for amarok.05:27
astrommeThat's exactly what makes it so appealing for me. I can do most tasks I need to instantainously without needing to browse to a website05:27
astrommecbwcjw: but I still have the benefit of getting my tasks from anywhere that I _can_ access the web, say my phone or another computer05:27
jessieRAOF: Really?! :D Yes!!!! I'm excited, now!05:27
astrommejessie: I'm using it too05:28
RAOFWell, it's a build-depend of the new, external-databaseless amarok.05:28
astrommeVersion: 5.1.30-2ubuntu405:28
jessieExcellent. I'm excited!05:28
cbwcjwastromme: iPhone?05:28

astrommemysql-server still defaults to 5.0, but you can install mysql-server-5.1 to get it (and replace 5.0)05:28

astrommejessie: So I recommiend not upgrading until they get that sorted out.05:30

cbwcjwmadrazr: They are out, but uh.. yea. They can have some issues, but mines working fine.05:30
RAOFOh, dear.  It doesn't like pulseaudio one bit, does it.05:31
astrommeRAOF: What doesn't?05:31
RAOFxine/phonon/amarok.05:31
cbwcjwastromme: Nice phone, haha. Im stuck with a run-of-the-mill phone. Keeping todos neatly though would be very nice05:31
RAOFSomething in that stack.05:31
madrazrcbwcjw: I see only 4.1.96 release, which I thought would be 4.2 RC105:32
madrazrcbwcjw: and the news says it will be available shortly05:32
astrommeRAOF: it seems hit or miss for me at times. I usually only use phonon or alsa apps though, which play nicely05:32
cbwcjwmadrazr: Are you sure? Im looking at instructions for intrepid for 4.205:32
astrommeAlthough I probably have a hardware mixer in my sound blaster live05:32
cbwcjwmadrazr: www.mxclan.org/ss.png05:33
RAOFastromme: I mean, amarok chews the first 3 seconds or so of audio output.05:33
RAOFastromme: I presume you don't hot-plug audio devices much, then :)05:33
astrommeRAOF not audio devices... what do you hotplug?05:33
RAOFUSB headsets, USB speakers.05:34
RAOFOnboard laptop sound quality is not particularly wonderful :)05:34
astrommeRAOF. Hmm, yeah, not often. Although the one I used to use just showed up as another audio device. Phonon even handled it beautifully05:34
astrommeRAOF /agreed. I like my desktop sound much better with even a simple (and old) Sound Blaster Live card05:35
RAOFastromme: As in: made it the default device, and migrated all your currently playing streams to it?  I'll have to try that.05:35
astrommeRAOF Not sure if I ever tried it when things were actively playing05:35
madrazrcbwcjw: thanks a lot05:35
madrazrI did not see it now05:35
madrazrsaw it some 4-5 hours back and asked05:36
madrazrgot it now05:36
RAOFYeah.  That's the killer; when something's playing.05:36
astrommeRAOF but I mean that for example I went and set my usb speaker out to be the default. Then I unplugged it and phonon asked if I wanted to remove it permantly, and I said no. So when I replugged it it was default again. I think that's what happened05:36
astrommeRAOF and not easy at all =)05:36
RAOFastromme: Not easy at all, but /basically/ done now in GNOME + pluseaudio.05:37
RAOF(It still needs some UI hooked up)05:38
astrommeRAOF well I do have a pulseaudio backend for phonon...so I suppose it could use that?05:39
RAOFYeah; phonon would just need to expose the pulseaudio devices too.05:40
astrommeRAOF: http://blog.chatonka.com/Phonon-Pulse.png05:40
RAOFYeah, but that's not quite what you need.  That output is what I'm using.05:40
RAOFAnd hey!  Phonon handles that OK.  Sweet!05:42
duriwhich one is the experimental PPA where to get kde 4.2 for 8.10 ?05:42
RAOFSo, now only kmix needs to handle that properly :)05:43
jessieHmmmm..... I just realized my sound's broken. Help?05:44
astrommeRAOF hehe =). imo KMix needs some love05:44
mefisto__duri: look at the link in the topic05:44
cjaeHi, I am using twinview nvidia on kde 4.2 tvout. My tv flickers when I do anything on the monitor side. I have read about some drivers doing randr, but my flicker is not consistant. Is this a plasma bug? or is it having to do with auto setting for video in kaffeine? Or something else05:45
jessieHmmm.... odd. i don't seem to be in the audio group. that can't be good.05:46
jessie:S05:46
cjaeAlso kaffeine video is kind of horizontally choppy05:46
jessieRAOF: I'm supposed to be in the group audio, correct?05:46
RAOFjessie: I don't think so.05:47
jessiewould you check to see if you are?05:47
* RAOF is not.05:47
jessieHmmm.... odd. :( I have no sound then...05:48
* jessie is sad05:48
jessiebrb.05:48
mefisto__doesn't really hurt to be in the audio group. I am because some audio apps I use need root access to certain things05:49
RAOFBah!  I *always* get surprised by the "apply" button.05:49
RAOFOh, yeah.  _That's_ what window switching should be.  Go KWin!05:50
astrommeRAOF: I'm such a big fan of kwin in 4.2. So beautiful05:51
RAOFThey've fixed the rotten stiff animations.05:51
astrommeNo kidding05:51
RAOF4.0's animations looked so very, very wierd.05:51
RAOFThese have that nice kinetic hit.05:52
astrommeand the nice spacing in the present windows05:53
RAOFAnd, importantly, are nice and fast without 3d.05:53
astrommeyep05:54
RAOFUm... What does the "keyboard shortcut" for the desktop switcher applet actually _do_?05:54
mefisto__it doesn't switch desktops?05:55
durimefisto__: thanks ... the banner scrolled by and did not catch it. got the info I wanted ... thanks05:55
jessieHmmmm... after a restart, all is well. Updates must have messed w/ it05:55
RAOFmefisto__: That's what I hoped it did, but no, it doesn't.05:55
jessieHey, what package is the .mp3 codecs in for amarok?05:56
jessieit's not ffmpeg-extracodecs, but something similar.....05:56
RAOFlibxine-ffmpeg05:56
astrommelibxine1-all-plugins05:56
astrommeor what RAOF said05:56
jessiebeautiful. :D05:57
RAOFastromme: The difference between libxine-all-plugins and libxine-ffmpeg is that you get an ESD output and GNOME VFS plugin with -all-plugins :)05:57
jessieWell, I don't use gnome, so meh. But ESD can be nice.05:57
RAOFYay!  And it's possible to munge kwin to not kill Do!06:00
astrommeeh?06:00
jessiewhat?06:00
mefisto__huh?06:01
RAOFHeh.06:01
jessielol06:01
RAOFSo, kwin's focus-stealing-prevention prevents Do from working properly.06:01
jessieAhhhh..... I see..06:01
RAOFAnd by "properly", I mean, from being the topmost window.  Since it takes a keyboard grab, this can cause strange behaviour.06:02
jessieSounds that way.06:02
jessieOH! YES! When I open up Dolphin, it finally goes to my home directory, not documents! :D06:02
RAOFAaaah.  KWin doesn't do shadows of ARGB windows right.  That's why it looks strange!06:02
astrommeRAOF: You could disable focus stealing prevention for the Do window06:04
RAOFastromme: Yup.  That's exactly what I did.06:04
RAOFAnd set it to always on top, for good measure.06:05
RAOFAnd then disabled shadows, and it no longer looks crazy.06:05
astrommeI pretty much have focus stealing prevention off for everything. Then I can set different windows to show up in different virtual desktops and have my viewport "pan" to them when I start them06:05
jessievery nice. lol06:05
RAOFHm.  I thought KDE's notification system worked with libnotify, but that looked like a standard notification-daemon popup.  Is there anything special I need to do?06:06
astromme RAOF to do for what?06:09
RAOFastromme: To get KDE's notification system to handle libnotify requests.06:09
astrommeRAOF oh. Dunno06:10

Heliodorshadeslayer: ok, thanks, perhaps better than to use manual settings12:42
shadeslayeror ethernet??12:42
ced_OxdeadC0de: It works now, but it nags about permissions, and asks me to chmod, if i do, it says the dir doest exist.12:42
stdingernot: it'd be much quicker to fix the errors that try to downgrade (which would have more errors)12:42
ced_doesnt*12:42
HeliodorDamnit, cant get the nvidia drivers to work anymore!12:42
shadeslayerHeliodor: best bet,set up a new ethernet connection12:42
shadeslayerand use the static ip12:42
earleshadeslayer: I was talking to ced_ about wireless.12:42
shadeslayeroh ok12:42
stdingernot: if it's something like "trying to overwrite file ... which is also in package ..." then it's quite simple to fix12:42
earle:)12:42
OxDeadC0deced_ cpufreq-selector right?12:42
shadeslayerearle: whats this" shadeslayer: "Deactivate connection" only allows me to deactivate wireless."12:43
ced_selector? It just says '/usr/bin/cpufreq-set'12:43
OxDeadC0dek, (there's two of them, both part of the cpufreq package)12:43
gernotstdin: there are conflicting packages (at least). what's the best way to do this? pipe the output of upgrade to a text file?12:44
earleshadeslayer: I was replying to when you said "knetwork manager>deactivate eth0"12:44
gernotand then see how far i can get with elinks and pastebin.. oh silly me12:44
shadeslayeroh12:44
OxDeadC0deced_ apt-get install cpufrequtils , you'll also need a kernel module for your cpu (different one for amd and intel), and kernel modules for the governors12:44
OxDeadC0deced_ sec I'll find a website detailing setup12:44
ced_OxdeadC0de: Thanks, will do.12:45
HeliodorDamnit12:45
stdingernot: how are you upgrading? "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"?12:45
gernotstdin: yes12:45
stdingernot: does it immediately error out or does it ask you to continue?12:46
gernotstdin: no it started to replace stuff, i set the mysql password. but somewhere along the line it encountered errors and stopped.12:47
gernotstdin: i can run it again to have a closer look at the errors. i just came here hoping to undo it.12:47
stdingernot: if you do "sudo apt-get -f install" it should make it esaier to spot the errors12:47
stdingernot: it'd be difficult/impossible to undo it without knowing the errors anyway12:48
shadeslayerplease can anybody help me map some keys12:49
gernotstdin: okay. and thank you for your time, by the way. i'll try to pipe the output to a text file since there's only so much i can see with this terminal resolution12:49
earleHm. Since 4.2, all my terminals start in ~/Documents by default. Where can I change that?12:51
gernotstdin: you made a good guess there in the beginning: i do have "trying to overwrite ... which is also in package ..." errors12:51
jens5655shadeslayer: have you checked in system settings>input action or ss>keyboard and mouse?12:51
shadeslayerjens5655: theyre not working under any of those keyboards12:52
stdingernot: at the end of the output it should list the .deb files that caused the errors, just type "sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i " and add the file names at the end (you can use tab completion to make it easier)12:52
shadeslayeralso one of them is more ton a bu12:52
shadeslayeralso one of them is more of a button12:52
stdingernot: then "sudo apt-get -f install" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" again12:52
earleHuh. When I plug in my power cable I get two differently styled notifications at the same time :/12:53
stdinearle: one is from guidance-power-manager and one from powerdevil12:53

shadeslayeryess12:54

jens5655okie, then im out of tips :(12:55

stdinearle: powerdevil may replace it in jaunty12:55
Heliodoris the message "your starting without administrative rights" something to worrie about??12:55
earlestdin: Cool. Thanks.12:55

Captain_Haddockunanxbt: what happens when you run apt-get upgrade?14:40
Captain_Haddockand do you already have an older version of kde installed?14:41
MarfiSAZ, im installing it right now...so if it kicks back an error, ill let ya know. =)14:41
shadeslayerBTW whats the shortcut for enabling desktop effects14:41
unanxbtCaptain_Haddock, i run sudo apt-get update and the database is updated now i want to confirm the kde version before installation cuse its 200+MB and i dont want to wast that much time for downloading a inferior version :)14:41
MarfiSAZ, oh, i know. search for that file that gave you problems, and delete it. apt will re-download it14:41
BluesKajunanxbt , so why can't you upgrade to 4.2 ?14:41
Captain_HaddockBluesKaj: I only have to use it when I mount something via the device manager14:41
unanxbtBluesKaj, how can i upgrade to 4.2?14:41

unanxbtnow i just have to run one command "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" but i am looking for version confirmation14:44
Marfiunanxbt, do sudo apt-get update first14:44
Captain_Haddockunanxbt: when you run update, you should be able to see the ppa repository.. if that's there, then there should be no reason why an older version will be installed.14:44
Marfithen it will14:44
boblenyHi, I have another question if you don't mind.... How do I disable the launch feed back in 8.04? Didn't there used to be a button in system settings for that?14:44

bdizzlewhy would you install WinME on it?16:38
bdizzleI mean, seriously, other than Vista, its the worst OS they have come out with16:38
olewolfHappyness: Could it be that the mount folder belongs to a wrong group or so? That's usually what happens when I have problems accessing or mounting the drives. Or, maybe you need to mount it as root.16:38
faileasbdizzle: might have come with it16:38
bdizzleyou poor dear ...16:38
faileasbdizzle: me is worse than vista IMO ;p16:38
olewolfHappyness: maybe what you should try is to see if you can mount it as root. At least that will show you whether it can be mounted at all.16:39
bdizzleI know it is16:39
techbwI was not in with the linux thing back then, I have now been running kubuntu on my laptop for a short while now, and since kubuntu and other flavours are starting to support more hardware, and media formats, I have made the move16:39

bdizzleit had a memory bug in it that could not be fixed16:39
Happynessolewolf: It should be possible to mount, thats for sure. I am root, but I dont get access. Then it says mount point does not exist, but it is.16:40
olewolfIf you do an "ls -ld <mountpoint>" where <mountpoint> is the folder that will contain the windows files once mounted, does it exist?16:41
techbwit was not my choice to have that OS installed, but it was what the laptop came with, now with the better support in the linux flavours, I want to make the change, it's been lying around the house since I changed to another laptop, so I want to revive it, I know ME was the worst OS that M$ came up with16:41

olewolfI recall seeing it in a "this bug hasn't occurred yet" bug report on Ubuntu. That is, "please make a file system driver that can mount Windows 7 drives".16:58
malgondo you know when intrepid packages for KDE 4.2 are going to be fully operationnal ?16:58
olewolfmalgon: unless I'm mistaken, think 9.04.16:58
Tm_Tmalgon: what you mean by "fully operational" ?16:58
malgonTm_T > some fonctionnality are away such as google gadgets16:59
nacerhi16:59
olewolfTm_T: let's just say KDE 4.2 doesn't appear to be fully "final" in the Kubuntu repos.16:59
Happynessolewolf: But on the other hand, I havent format my partitions.16:59
olewolfThen again, it's experimental so that's to be expected.16:59
naceri need a pro of kmail + korganiser ?16:59
malgonolewolf > not before ? :(16:59
techbwHappyness: when you installed did you format using windows7 format util, if not you would still be on old NTFS16:59
Tm_Tolewolf: malgon: feel free to file bugs so packagers knows16:59
olewolfmalgon: that's my impression. I could be wrong, hopefully.16:59
naceri need to know how can i configure kmail pour add more thant 3 lines of my mail when i create a to-do from a emails16:59
olewolfTm_T: actually, the kubuntu web page says not to file bug reports.17:00
Tm_Tolewolf: does?17:00
Tm_Tweird...17:00
olewolfYup. Or at least as of one hour ago.17:00
Happynesstechbw: No, I just upgraded from Vista to 717:00
olewolfTm_T: let me just check it out.17:00
techbwI doubt that it would have updated the FileSystem in the process17:01
olewolfTm_T: yes, kind of: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 says to say it here.17:01
Tm_Tolewolf: interesting, perhaps we need proper list of "whats broken" then17:01
zwoxhi there17:01
Tm_Tolewolf: so go and collect a list (;)17:01
olewolfTm_T: that could be useful. I had problems with powerdevil and the Google Gadgets.17:02
Happynesstechbw: Okay seems that it should be caused by v4.2 of KDE then.17:02
malgonso olewolf, there is no support for google gadgets in the packages ^^ (first of the list :-° )17:02
kasdayeKDE 4.2 is great :U17:03
olewolfmalgon: it seems that way, yes. Then again, I also found some complaints from this Frech distribution, whatsitsname.17:03
olewolfMandrake.17:03
kasdayeDoes anyone know the shortcut to switch through virtual desktops a la alt+tab for your windows?17:03
techbwctrl+tab17:03
techbwchanges desktops17:04
zwoxi'm trying kde4.1 on kubuntu8.10 but i can't figure out if it is possible to extend desktop panel and background to second screen using twinview17:04
techbwalt+tab changes windows17:04
olewolftechbw: Er, it could also change tabs in Firefox...17:04
malgonolewolf > okay17:04
Happynesstechbw, olewolf: Seems that /dev/** does not exist anymore ...17:04
techbwtrue  :-)17:04
stepis there a way to upgrade to 4.2 from 8.04?17:04
OnlyWhiskyzwox: add second panel on second monitor17:04
zwoxthank's OnlyWhisky17:05
techbwHappyness: check sd* as well as hd*...some of my drives show as sd* and not hd*17:05
olewolfHappyness: I take it you mean, not the entire /dev/*, right? Otherwise I really don't want to know. :)17:05
Happynesstechbw, olewolf: There is /media/*** which does exist, but the mount file or what you call it, does not exist.17:05
Happynessolewolf: No, not the whole /dev :D17:05
khalidmiani cant seem to find vol control for spdif or digital out in kmix can anyone help/assist im a newbie17:06
olewolfHappyness: I'd say, try and find out if Windows 7 really does use an NTFS-esque thing that isn't yet supported by Linux.17:06
Happynessolewolf: No Windows 7 is not the problem, I have checked.17:06
oleHi, Kde 4.2 looks great! thx. I was wondering if there is a recommended firefox theme for kde 4.2?17:06
zwoxso i guess this isnt't possible yet to manage panels and background the same way than in 3.517:07
mini-manole: I use the oxygen gtk port17:07
Happynesstechbw: I checked and found some sda, but I have also sdb and sdc ... But sdc6 which is one of them in fstab, does not exist.17:07
mini-manole: with the oxygen icon theme plugin for firefox17:07
olemini-man: this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/796217:08
mini-manole: yes17:08
olemini-man: thx17:08
mini-manole: np17:08
techbwHappyness: the parition that you want to view, is that on the same drive that ubuntu is installed on or is it on another drive?17:08
olewolfHappyness: I'm guessing that either you specified a non-NTFS partition or Windows 7 actually does update its filesystem.17:08
Happynesstechbw: Another drive.17:09
techbwHappyness: if it is another drive, then it will be either hdb* or hdc*17:10
techbwwhen you mount are you mounting it /dev/hdb* or hdc*17:10
techbwHappyness:what is the command you trying to mount with17:10
Happynessolewolf: Hmm seems that Windows itself was a unclean shutdown. Or Linux mark it as an unclean shutdown. I managed to mount my OS partiton and one another system. But one of them does not exist anymore ...17:10
khalidmianWINFS17:11
techbwHappyness: you say that one of the partitions are missing?17:12
Happynesstechbw: YEs or something is not okay. But I can access them in Windows, so there is another prob.17:12
faileasif its hardy or newer they should all be sd17:12
Happynesstechbw: It seems that it is only the sdc* that does not work. I managed to mount sda* and sdb*17:13
roconnorin kubuntu 8.10, how do I get my programs listed in my bottom bar into two rows?17:13
roconnorI pulled the bar wider17:13
roconnorbut it just makes the listed programs taller, not adding rows17:13
Happynessolewolf: Do you know if there is some way to check which drives Linux has access to?17:14
techbwHappyness: stills sounds to me like a corrupt NTFS partition, have a clients machine doing a similar thing, but I am able to mount, but not access data.17:14
olewolfHappyness: no, I have no idea. Or, you could visit fdisk just to see which partitions are there, but be careful.17:15
techbwtry running windows chkdsk from the boot disk17:15
olewolfHappyness: I'm still with techbw. Try and boot Windows, make a clean shutdown, and then try again.17:15
Happynessolewolf: But that does only effect the OS partition not the other ones?17:16
techbwHappyness: if it is a corrupt NTFS then bootdisk will try and fix, that is what i am busy with on the clients machine now, takes forever if it does have errors17:16
olewolfHappyness: otherwise, consider it yet another reminder from fate that you should never get close to any Windowish thing, and that Bill and Steve should... be exposed to proper punishment.17:16
Happynessolewolf: Haha, yeah :D17:17
Happynessolewolf: Quite annoying, I shoud just be use Linux to properly install the idiotic software matlab.17:17
=== jamie is now known as Guest46661
Happynessolewolf: Btw, do you know how to mount an iso?17:17
=== Guest46661 is now known as jatos
techbwHappyness:Just because it only affects one partition, does not mean the file system is ok, partition table is ok, since you see the other partitions, but your file system on that partition is corrupt17:18
olewolfHappyness: yes, mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.iso /mount/point17:18
Happynesstechbw: The thing is that the sdc* drive is not the same as my OS drive.17:19
Stalker72How do I auto-align icons in KDE 4.2?17:19
Happynessolewolf: Thanks :)17:19
olewolfHappyness: there's an open-source alternative to MATLAB. I think it's called scilab.17:19
Pici!info scilab17:19
ubottuscilab (source: scilab): Matrix-based scientific software package (a la Matlab and Xmath). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.1.2-5 (intrepid), package size 5273 kB, installed size 57804 kB17:19
Happynessolewolf: Yeah, but my school uses Matlab ...17:19
* Bou hated Matlab17:20
techbwHappyness: boot into recovery console do a chkdsk, and see if that help, other than that I don't think I can help, windows partitions tend to corrupt after improper shutdowns, powerfailures and the other obvious reason virus17:20
olewolfHappyness: you might have luck with scilab anyway. Could be that the .m files are compatible for the most part.17:20
martonhello all17:22
Happynessolewolf: Hehe, well hopefully I could manage to install Matlab in Linux. I heard that it did not work for my other school mates17:22
martonpls help me, my pc is not play the music17:22

tictricStrigi Daemon still does not run here in Intrepid with kde4.217:24
olewolfHappyness: you might want to see this page about NTFS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G17:25
cbwcjwSo, did anybody move to 4.2 yesterday?17:25
Happynessolewolf: Okay, well there is :)17:26
olewolfTm_T: I realize you were joking about me compiling a list of issues, but is there anyone that actually monitors this channel for bug reports on the KDE 4.2 experimental repo?17:26
Tm_Tolewolf: no i wasnt joking17:26
Tm_Tolewolf: but no I do not know about that17:27
cbwcjwolewolf: Sorry to barge in, but it says NOT to report bugs just yet. Im keeping a list of what Ive run into at the moment, but none have been big17:27
Happynessolewolf: Hmm, is it possible to create directories in / root?17:27
sandGorgonshould i opt for kdm or gdm in a 4.2 install on a Ubuntu 8.10 base17:27
sandGorgon?17:27
cbwcjwsandGorgon: If you like the KDE 4.2 Login screen, do KDM17:28
habitHello. Adept manager is not able to use proxy servers, is there alternative package manager for kubuntu?17:28
olewolfcbwcjw: great. I wouldn't say any of the defects I've encountered classify as "fatal", but it's good to hear you're keeping an eye on the cahnnel. :)17:28
techbwHappyness: yes it is, using sudo, but not recomended unless you really have to17:28
cbwcjwsandGorgon: If you like the default GNOME login, keep GDM17:28
Happynesstechbw: Well I need to creat an directoy for my virtual, or nvm btw.17:28
olewolfHappyness: of course it is. As root, that is.17:28
cbwcjwolewolf: :) Yea, ive just had plasma crap out acouple of times. Otherwise, im fine.17:28
sandGorgoncbwcjw: let me very shallow here ... which one has more themes ?17:28
techbwHappyness: sudo mkdir directoryname17:28
cbwcjwsandGorgon: GDM. Any GNOME login screens will do for GDM, KDE 4.2 still isnt too popular17:29
olewolfcbwcjw: the bugs I've found thus far have been either "inconveniences ever since KDE 3.1" or "missing stuff in the repo".17:29
sandGorgonahh...17:29
Happynesstechbw: It occured to me that I did not really needed to create a new dir, but thanks anyway :)17:29
cbwcjwolewolf: Nice, i havent run into any of that.. yet haha17:29
techbwHappyness: no prob:-)17:29
olewolfcbwcjw: there's this "Google Gadgets" thing. The koffice equation editor (whasitcalled) and powerdevil also seemed to be broken. Minor things, though.17:30
cbwcjwolewolf: Personally, I use google gadgets on my homepage, so seeing them on my desktop would be GREAT haha17:31
ct529does anyone use bibus here?17:32
ct529I cannot make it work on 810 + 00317:32
olewolfcbwcjw: er, that's those Google thingies for the Google Desktop. They were supposed to be supported by KDE 4.2, right?17:33
cbwcjwolewolf: Right, but im terrified to mess with them. Some gadgets/widgets make plasma crash17:33
Happynesstechbw: Another prob :D Sorry if I am a trouble boy, but I want to have full sudo/root rights in every single application on my account, is that possible?17:33
olewolfcbwcjw: well, there's a couple of bug reports for the KDE team then. :)17:34
cbwcjwolewolf: Im making a list now hahaha17:34
=== adriano is now known as malv
olewolfHappyness: yes, that's possible.17:34
Happynesstechbw: BEcause when I for instance should create an directory in / somewhere, it is not allowed because I do not have permissions. But hey, it is only me who uses my computer ...17:34
Happynessolewolf: How?17:34
olewolfHappyness: costs $10 for the answer. :)17:34
techbwHappyness:I did that once, can't remember how, I had to edit a file but it wasn't long then17:34
olewolfSorry, lemme check. :)17:34
techbwI mess up17:34
cbwcjwhappyness: Cant you just ALT+F2 then do kdesu application or gksudo application17:35
techbwHappyness: you could use alt+F2 then kdesu17:35
techbw:-)17:35
olewolfHappyness: you need to edit the sudoers file. Enter the line "yourusername ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL".17:35
cbwcjwhaha :D17:35
Happynesscbwcjw, techbw: I could yes, but thats quite annoying. I want to have access all the time, 24/7 even if i restart system.17:36
olewolfHappyness: editing the sudoers file requires some "vi" skills and a particular program that I've forgotten everything about. So I cheat.17:36
techbwHappyness:  If you need it only for editing files that you double click on etc, the easiest would be alt+F2 and run konqueror, then double clicking a file would be as root17:36
olewolfHappyness: my cheat is as follows, and I'll have to say: "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!".17:36
cbwcjwLOL!17:36
olewolfHappyness: First, "sudo su" to get a root shell. That's bad enough.17:37
olewolfNext, chmod 666 /etc/sudoers17:37
olewolfThen edit the file as root.17:37
Happynesstechbw: Yeah, but I want to be able to have sudo everywhere. I hate when it says, you do not have access to your own computer.17:37
olewolfThat's bad, too.17:37
techbwIf you do TRY IT AT HOME then remember make backups :-) not like me17:37
astrommeolewolf: woah, you don't want to 666 sudoers17:37
astrommeolewolf: That's REALLY REALLY bad17:37
olewolfFinally, make dead sure you "chmod 440 sudoers".17:37
astrommeolewolf: ok, ok.17:37
olewolfastromme: I know, that's why I said "don't try this at home".17:37
olewolfastromme: of course, one could simply chmod 600 sudoers.17:37
cbwcjwastromme olewolf: Im scared haha17:38
techbwAll I did was edit a file, can't remember which one, I actually asked here, how to do it17:38
techbwbut that was to log in as root, not as normal user17:38
olewolfeveryone: like I said, that's a bad cheat. Don't do it unless you have no other users logged in and you have a rescue cd handy.17:38
cbwcjwtechbw: What if we asked #ubuntu :P17:38
Happynesstechbw: How do I login as root?17:38
Happynesstechbw: I thought I was root :D17:39
olewolfHappyness: you can do what I said, but beware, it may render your computer useless.17:39
cbwcjwThats a pleasnt thought17:39
techbwubuntu still has root user, but it does not allow you to log in with root, you have to sudo, to allow login via root you need to edit a file to allow root logins, but I really don't remember which file17:39
Happynessolewolf: Well I think I do not wanna try. Last time I tested something like that I screw up my whole system. I have alread installed Liinux SOoo many times.17:40
olewolftechbw: sure, "sudo su" means you have a root shell.17:40
techbwno you can actually log in with username root, and root password,17:40
olewolfHappyness: the proper way is to "visudo" the file, but I never tried that, primarily because I have no clue about vi's user interface.17:40
xiongi have done this thing, to allow login as root from the login screen17:41
cbwcjwvi is lame :P I prefer nano all the way17:41
techbwyou can use nano, mach easier17:41
olewolf(Still, even if you visudo the file, you can turn your computer into a brick.)17:41
Happynessolewolf: Btw, when I am installing matlab it ask me where I want to put it. Which folder is best to use in /root ? I need write access17:41
olewolfcbwcjw: yes, but visudo creates proper locks and such.17:41
xiongdespite the word that this is a) unnecessary and b) stupid17:41
TakeABowHey, can someone help me with configuring vsftpd17:41
TakeABowpelase17:41
techbwoh ok17:41
cbwcjwolewolf: I suppose so17:41
olewolfHappyness: er, put it wherever you want it. But by some loose convention, /opt/matab would be a good choice.17:41
=== Maniac is now known as Guest84654
Happynessolewolf: It says: "/opt/matlab is not writable"? :S17:43
techbwHappyness: allow root login http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6108717:43
techbwHappyness: post number 617:43
olewolfHappyness: well, create a directory then and chown it you username.username (where, obviously, username is your user name).17:43
olewolfHappyness: Or "sudo mkdir /opt/matlab ; sudo chown username.username /opt/matlab".17:44
olewolfWhere username is you-know-what.17:44
Happynesstechbw: Thanks :)17:44
techbwHappyness: That way you are able to secure your root account with a password, and not sacrifice too much security17:44
techbwIt is still however unsecure to be logged in for normal usage17:45
cbwcjwSo im definitley in a good mood with KDE 4.2 hahaha.17:45
Happynesstechbw: Yes, other external threats become visisble.17:45
olewolfHappyness: if you're installing MATLAB system-wide, then you'll probably have to install it via sudo. Otherwise it will have to go either to a directory in your home folder, or yoǘll have to make a directory outside of your home folder that you own yourself.17:46
Happynessolewolf: Yes thank you, I forgot to install as sudo17:46
techbwHappyness:anyways, hope that sorts you out, got to run, cheers17:47

Rioting_pacifistswitching to opendns seams like a bit of an over reaction, but how would i set a dns server manually?18:13
olewolfRioting_pacifist: depends. If you have your own named server setup, then it's easy. But setting it up just to switch to OpenDNS is probably overkill.18:14
olewolfRioting_pacifist: some routers let you specify your DNS settings directly. That could be your best bet.18:14
olewolfRioting_pacifist: and finally, somewhere in your network settings, which unfortunately I can't help with.18:15

helpdeskso, i tried the souces.list but got a long file that i had to stop with the ctr c18:38

olewolfstdin: I've installed KDE 4.2 on both amd64 and i386.18:38
stdinolewolf: those aren't the only architectures in the world18:38
olewolfstdin: but, they're darned likely. :)18:39
stdinsongwind: when you do "sudo apt-get update" does it list "http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid/main Packages" ?18:39
olewolfsongwind: it's a far cry, but you could try to remove the repository (or comment it at least) and apt-get update again, then insert the line again and try once more.18:39
stdinppc is also a possible arch18:39

songwindstdin:  pinned?18:53
stdindo you have the file: /etc/apt/preferences18:53
songwindstdin: yes18:54
stdinin there, look for "Pin-Priority: 900"18:55
stdinbecause that's what's messing with it18:55
songwindstdin:  Ah, I see18:55
mefisto__ka_: holding down alt+ctrl while dropping the cell will insert the cell and shift adjacent ones to the right or down18:55
songwindstdin: I take it I should set it to 500 ?  Or remove it?18:55
stdinsongwind: it depends what you've pinned18:56

stdinsigma_: what tooltips?19:10
stdinahh, that kickoff one19:11
stdinI don't use kickoff so didn't see it19:11
Rioting_pacifistmy disk being full meant i couldnt access the internet, dhclient couldnt write the dns addresses, couldnt some sort of ram cache be used?19:11

stdinsigma_: hmm, I have no clue how to disable it19:13
sandGorgonhow do i make firefox a little better looking in 4.2 - i suppose that is the gtk problem ?19:14

mefisto__khalidmian: yes it's quite possible to access windows ntfs partitions19:21
sandGorgoncbwcjw: yup... i actually like it19:21
khalidmianmefisto__: is it the same process stdin was saying or do u have something else up r sleeve as a suggestion19:22
techbwI use kubuntu to access ntfs to remove virus from clients pc's19:22
sandGorgoncbwcjw: i wanted to show u the screenshot of firefox being crappy19:22
mefisto__khalidmian: install ntfs-config and it makes setting up automounting on boot very easy19:23
cbwcjwsandGorgon: uhh ok. PM me?19:23

astrommenot for me19:38

Aethelredmefisto_: Genius, thou.  Just checked, had what I thought was a blank CD-R in there, but was a burned (and unlabeled) disc.19:39
astrommeJonah: Plasma probably isn't loading. alt-f2 and start konsole. Then from konsole try starting plasma with "plasma" see what happens.19:40
Aethelredmefisto__: Thank you for considering that I might be a bonehead, and offering appropriate advice.19:40
astrommeoh, disregard that... no alt-f2?19:40
Jonahastromme: no alt-f2...19:40
mefisto__Aethelred: well that's not what I was thinking, but you're welcome I guess :)19:41
Jonahastromme: but i do get a "no windows" from alt-tab19:41
sandGorgonfunny... the kickoff search bar goes absolutely black on clicking. This happens ONLY on enabling "desktop effects"19:41
astrommeyou could switch to a text console (ctrl-alt-f1 or so), login, and run "DISPLAY=:0 konsole", then switch back to the gui with alt-f7 and see if konsole shows up19:41

beachsurfinhow do you move the icons on the panel? http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.2-rc.php shows a picture of the device notifier and other widgets located on the left side ...20:17
beachsurfinit even shows the system tray with an arrow indicating that you can increase or decrease the system tray length20:18
JontheEchidnabeachsurfin: press the plasma icon on the right of the panel to open up the configuration mode20:19
JontheEchidnayou can then move widgets around20:19
JontheEchidnaif you right click the system tray you can select its configuration dialog, where you can hide icons20:19
JontheEchidnawhen icons are hidden that arrow will appear20:20
gorgonzolahello. where can i get more plasmoids for kde 4.2?20:21
beachsurfingorgonzola brings up something i have problems with as well, i never can install plasmoids from the internet from the add widgets dialog20:23
gorgonzolabeachsurfing: i have had varied experiences with that.. some work straight out of the box, some don't. Right now, the problem is that get hot new stuff just offers a few plasmoids in kde 4.2...20:25

amigravecan someone tell me why kubuntu 8.10 takes twice the memory +-300Mb on a fresh install than ubuntu 810 +-150Mb and how can I lower the memory usage ?20:34
Rioting_pacifistamigrave: is that actual memory useage or does it include cache20:35
Rioting_pacifistamigrave: eitherway a good way is to look at what programs are eating up memory with ksysguard or htop20:37
talonstrikeramigrave, i imagine the widgets are eating up a bit of memory20:37
roconnortalonstriker: one solution I have found so far is to change the icon theme from crystal svg to oxygen20:38
amigraveRioting_pacifist: this is the memory usage provided by the system monitors provided by respectively kde 4 and gnome. I'm going to test with free and htop to do a fair comparison20:38
sandGorgonmy Notes Plasmoid is transparent - is this a known bug?20:39
roconnortalonstriker: I don't know why crystal svg is broken.20:39
tarimarihi guuys.there were some updates today at 4.2. what are they about? is there any changelog?20:40
amigraveRioting_pacifist: on gnome it's used ram minus cache. going to test kde4 but have to reinstall. hang on20:40
MrOizohallo!20:40
roconnortalonstriker:  I'm tempted to install kde-icons-crystal to see if that would fix the crystal set20:40
roconnortalonstriker: but maybe oxygen is supposed to be the default theme?20:41
roconnorwhat icon theme do people here use?20:41
thinkgnuwhich one is better for my system (dual core2  , 1GB ram) ?  kubuntu32 but or kubuntu64 bit ?20:42
Rioting_pacifistthinkgnu: well it depends, 64 have few benifits but using flash can be a bit more difficult20:42
thinkgnuRioting_pacifist: but it is possible20:43
Rioting_pacifistyeah just use ndiswrapper or isntall flash 10 beta manually20:43
=== fernando is now known as Guest83394
thinkgnumy problem is with my ram ! is 1GB enough for 64bit version20:44
Heliodortalonstriker: thanks for the tip!20:44

Heliodortalonstriker: know of any screencast software?20:44

roconnorI had no signifigant trouble20:48
Picisenorpedro: Thats not the reccomended upgrade method.  Listen to roconnor20:48
senorpedrowhy's there no man page for do-release-upgrade?20:49
roconnorsenorpedro: you may have to install update-manager-core20:49
senorpedrowell -d is to devel release....20:49
martin__Hi! Upgrading Intrepid to KDE 4.2 left me unable to log in -- will somebody help me?20:49
senorpedrothat would be 9.04?20:49
senorpedroupdate-manager-core is installed20:50
Picisenorpedro: Yes, sorry.20:50
senorpedrono man page available20:50

roconnorPrompt=normal20:50
Picisenorpedro: The wiki page ubottu linked you to has all the instructions you need20:50
roconnorsenorpedro: the only proglem I had was that libghc6-HTTP-dev-whatever didn't uninstall properly.  But you probably don't have that package ;)20:51
senorpedroroconnor: so do you have 9.04 or 8.10 right now?20:51
senorpedrowhats in /etc/issue?20:51
roconnorsenorpedro: as of today I have 8.1020:52

ubottuTo find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> »20:52
roconnorsenorpedro: yestrday I had 8.0420:52
roconnorupgrading took several hours20:53
senorpedrohours?20:53
roconnorwith occasional prompts20:53
roconnorbecause I changed some configs20:53
senorpedrodo you have a 56k modem?20:53

senorpedroomg now 40min20:54
roconnorof course the upgrade time depends on which packages you have and how many you have20:55
senorpedrodoes kubuntu 8.10 still have kde 3.5?20:56
roconnorsenorpedro: it appears to be kde 4.1 AFAIK20:56
senorpedroor whatever the latest kde 3.* is20:56
senorpedrohm thats bad20:56

XVampireXprincedugan, sounds like an onboard sound card actually, but if that's the output of lspci there's no arguing with it21:43
XVampireXAnyhow people, any way I do a clean install WITH kde 4.2?21:44
princedugansorry, I didn't see the USB card in lspci. so I tried lsusb, it seems logical and seemed to list it21:44
XVampireXAh, so it's lsusb21:44
XVampireXeven better21:44
princeduganoddly, there seems to be no lsisa :)21:45
XVampireXSo you don't get sound nor get accelerated graphics?21:45
XVampireXRegarding the sound you should probably try to go to #alsa and check there and regarding accelerated graphics you gotta tell us the video display adapter you got, You said you got Intel, right?21:46
XVampireXYou need to change something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think21:47
XVampireXI'm not sure though I don't run onboard video card21:47
princeduganXVampireX: using the onboard cards I get sound and video on my screen including 3D. but the external USB doesn't output sound and the S-video out does not work. xrandr reports I only hace one screen.21:49

XVampireXthen if it says that everything is fine or if it asks you to install, then install21:51
chris-rc1hi21:52
XVampireXThen if you can check in terminal: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf21:52

chris-rc1i am trying to add plasmoids to my desktops, but with almost all of them i get: "this object could not be created" "could not find requested component". i am running kde 4.2 and it seems those plasmoids are from 4.1, but i cannot install any 4.1 packages any more21:54
cbwcjwchris-rc1: Plasmoids from 4.1 arent compatible.21:54
XVampireXchris-rc1, I'm not sure but perhaps 4.2 broke compatibility with 4.1 plasmoids ?21:54
cbwcjwchris-rc1: It says on the installation page to remove your 4.1 plasmids in order to update.21:54
cbwcjwplasmoids*21:55
XVampireX:D21:55
chris-rc1that is strange. why wouldn't they be compatible. and moreover, why haven't they been ported?21:55
chris-rc1how do i remove them?21:55
cbwcjwBecause of different architecture, and i dont know :(21:55

XVampireXchris-rc1, because KDE folks think it's funny... maybe they realised that 4.0 and 4.1 were jokes so they didn't want to relate to it :P21:56

astrommePlasma broke binary and source compatability because there were still some fundamentals being worked out . It wasn't in place for 4.0/4.1 because it needed real world applications to test and use the API to see how things could be done wbetter.21:59
OxDeadC0dehas anyone else found Amor? he's cool21:59
XVampireXastromme, Yeah, that sounds just about right... but still 4.1 and 4.0 were jokes :D21:59
JontheEchidna4.1 was pretty good21:59
astrommeI will say they weren't quite ready for everyone. However they were far from jokes.22:00
chris-rc1that still doesn't really help me :-(22:00
Riddell** Kubuntu meeting now in #ubuntu-meeting22:00
astrommeThat's like saying Mac OS 10.0 and 10.1 were jokes. Not many used them, but they sure were necessary.22:00
XVampireXchris-rc1, don't worry the plasmoids will catch up, will probably find better ones in 4.222:00
chris-rc1so you wanna tell me there just aren't any?22:01
astrommechris-rc1: I agree, it doesn't help you =/. But they will be ported, give it a little time. The ones that aren't in the base KDE were added by Kubuntu folks and need to be ported/re-added22:01
XVampireXastromme, anything that's released half-assed is a joke.22:01
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1 what are you trying to install even?22:02
chris-rc1OxDeadC0de: anything. let's say the analog clock22:04
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1 the api changed slightly between 4.1 and 4.2 because plasma became part of kdelibs, so the plasmoids might need to change a (very)little in the source, but many bugs were fixed and many new developers are being attracted22:04
_ubuntuI have a question.  I am considering installing Kubuntu. I wanted to get an opinion before I do.  PC is AMD CPU 1.4Ghz.  20GB hard drive.  256MB memory.  I believe the video is an ATI Rage.  Will Kubuntu work on such a system?22:04
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1 you need another package, sec22:04

=== DragonmasterDani is now known as Dragonmaster_Dan
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1 I assume your upgrade went badly? it should have removed the old plasmoids22:06
XVampireXDragonmasterDani, Actually I'd suggest you try Ubuntu first, the gnome version... Then after some time when you get used to the whole linux thing, and think you want to try a different graphical user interface, try Kubuntu (KDE)22:06
Dragonmaster_DanOkay, I shall give it a try.  Thank you.22:07
XVampireXUbuntu is famous right now because of the mostly friendly support you get, and because of the many different user friendly features like easy codec installation, easy driver installation and so on.22:07
XVampireXSo you don't make a mistake with trying ubuntu at first22:08
Dragonmaster_DanRIght now I am running an old version of Kubuntu Live CD I found.22:08
stdinchris-rc1: install kdeplasma-addons22:08
XVampireXOLD is bad22:08
XVampireXWith linux you get new things ALL of the time22:09
XVampireXSo in a certain sense running todays version is not the same as running yesterdays22:09
Dragonmaster_DanThis is Kubuntu Linux 5.10 Live22:09
OxDeadC0deXVampireX New is bad when it breaks things used, until those things are fixed..22:09

malcolm_hello, I'm new to linux22:13
malcolm_I want to share files with windows22:14
XVampireXI mean if you're running 7.10 then most certainly 8.04 is better, and 8.10 is even better22:14
malcolm_I have installed samba22:14

malcolm_but I can't access my windows files22:14

mefisto__just installed kde4.2 and I'm looking for a weather widget. I only see LCD weather station, which I find hard to read. how can I get another?22:15

malcolm_do I need the samba package or the samba4 package22:15
malcolm_I installed samba and it did not work22:15

cbwcjwmefisto__: Your probably out of luck. Remember, 4.2 came out yesterday!22:15
chris-rc1i lost plasma completely22:15
chris-rc1black desktop22:15
XVampireXmalcolm_, samba works fine, you get a tool to configure it too, you need to configure it22:15
Dragonmaster_DanGetting Ubuntu 8.10 now.22:16
mefisto__cbwcjw: yeah but I watched the demo video at kde.org and they were using a very nice looking one, with a one week forecast too.22:16
XVampireXmalcolm_, like what folders/files you want to share, linux won't do things you don't want so it won't share the whole partition, it's unsafe too just so you know22:16
mefisto__cbwcjw: false advertising?22:16
malcolm_What are the tools I need to configure/use to get samba working22:16
XVampireXDragonmaster_Dan, Great, hope it works out for you :)22:17
Dragonmaster_DanSame here.22:17
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1: did you do plasma &22:17
cbwcjwmefisto__: They couldve just not released it yet. I really dont know, but my LCD weather crashes plasma, so I wish they had another haha22:17
Dragonmaster_DanThank you. XVampireX.22:17
XVampireXmalcolm_, to be honest I'm not sure, I know when you install samba it adds a config tool in gnome, but not sure about KDE :O22:17
cbwcjwXVampireX: Probably just appears in the settings22:18
malcolm_I want to share all my files22:18
XVampireXalso you might want to right click on the folder/file you want to share and click properties or whatever and click on share22:18
chris-rc1well, i did do plasma &, but only after kquitapp ;-)22:18
malcolm_but shoudl I install the samba4 instead of the samba?22:18
XVampireXmalcolm_, what kde are you using anyway?22:18
chris-rc1OxDeadC0de: well, i figured it out myself and now plasma and the plasmoids seem to work. can you explain to me why that is?22:19
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1: takes a sec for it to finally quit and it won't let it run again until it's fully quit, so running it right away doesn't work22:19
mefisto__cbwcjw: I'm actually quite surprise with how stable everything is. absolutely everything works perfectly so far (30 minutes after 4.2 upgrade)22:19
OxDeadC0dechris-rc1: Looks like you didn't get a transitional package installed somewhere to upgrade the plasmoids22:19
XVampireXnot sure, malcolm_ don't think so, samba should work fine...22:19
cbwcjwmefisto__: I was suprised too. It replaced GNOME for me.22:19
cbwcjwbbl, im setting stuff up22:20
mefisto__kde raises the bar for everyone with this release I think22:20
cbwcjwmefisto__: It brings back KDE 3.5 times for me.22:20
SSJ_GZmefisto__: That Weather widget is still in kdereview, I think.22:21
mefisto__cbwcjw: me too. I was heartbroken about kde3.5 until today22:21
chris-rc1OxDeadC0de: thanks for the help. what i don't get is that kdeplasma-addons must have been 4.2 all the way. do you mean something like a package installing a link to the right location or sth?22:21
malcolm_I am default installation22:21
malcolm_I have samba installed but it is strange22:22
gorgonzolaok... me again. how can i reconfigure the all monitor settings?22:22
malcolm_It looks like I have missing icons when I click on samba under network22:22
gorgonzolafor example, kdm still uses some weird resolutions, and only after accessing the display module in system settings, it catchs up and sets the res to the right value)22:22
XVampireXmalcolm_, that's because it's an old KDE, Oxygen theme is still not complete22:23
malcolm_often they don't appear at all22:23
malcolm_they kinda disapear22:23
XVampireXmalcolm_, You shouldn't be worried about icons just check the settings22:24
malcolm_which settings where?22:24
XVampireXno idea22:24
XVampireXSorry can't help you there22:24

|bart|Hi all, just wanted to mention that my kubuntu upgrade went pretty smooth. Thanks for the good work!22:38

gizmobayAnyone know where I can get digikam-kde4?22:48
jussi01gizmobay: yeah, there is a digikam ppa22:51
catoHello, I installed the newer amarok from http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0.1.1, When I start it, it simply crashes:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/111028/22:53
gizmobayIs this it deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/notz/ubuntu intrepid main?22:54
catodeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main22:55
Pconfigcato: maybe try at #amarok22:56
chris-rc1gizmobay: is there a kde4 port of digikam at all? i thought it's still the kde3 version, which is in universe, if i remember correctly22:58
gizmobayI upgraded to 4.2 when you add the plasma addons it removes digikam22:59
jussi01gizmobay: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/digikam-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main22:59
jussi01deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/digikam-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main22:59
Pconfigbtw cato, you're not alone https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/31612622:59
jussi01gizmobay: however, PLEASE NOTE: EXPERIMENTAL!!22:59
catoPconfig: nice to know, but doesn't solve the problem :)23:00
Pconfigcato: i know, was just doing some research ;à23:01
chris-rc1gizmobay: you could also add the kde3 repos for intrepid. that's the way i do it23:01

ubuntu_no23:25
ubuntu_mac widgets are supported natively by plasma23:26
gmclachlhmmm, I think that's meant in the losest terms23:26
ubuntu_you download the widget file then from the widget browser select "install from file"23:26
lakis1982ubuntu thats what i did23:27
ubuntu_didn't you find an select option for mac widgets?23:27
lakis1982yes23:27
ubuntu_after that it should appear in the widget list23:27
gmclachllakis1982: I have found it to be a bit hit and miss, sometimes it won't show up, when it does the widget doesn't display properly23:27
lakis1982but it doesnt install23:27
ubuntu_as gmclachl just said it depends on the widget23:28
lakis1982that right like gmclachi says23:28
