[02:32] Or if you have 2 seperate hard drives.. it can be done in other ways [02:32] * genii hands Dr_willis_ a coffee [02:32] ill prolly do a seperate HDD [02:32] GRUB is worth learning all about [02:32] Hmm i have a problem... my sound volumes are WAY to low. and even with all settings maxed out i can hardly hear it.

[04:50] what a gimme [04:50] We'll have another Alpha next week which will have 4.2.0 [04:51] ah.. [04:53] You could also try the daily http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily/current/ [04:53] These don't get a huge amount of testing though. [04:54] right.. I have 4.2 running currently from Debian experimental on top of sid [04:54] If you're mostly interested in 4.2, you can also install 8.10 and then install 4.2 from the kubuntu-experimental PPA. [04:55] right... that'd be pretty much what I have going on now.. [04:55] BTW, I was just talking to you in #amarok (ScottK). This is just a test ID as I'm testing our new default IRC client.

That may help and won't hurt. [05:37] I tried that already [05:38] I tried all the recovery options [05:38] thedark: can you pastebin your xorg.conf ?

[05:44] okay [05:44] hpw does my xorg.conf look? [05:45] thedark: you could specify loading with the vesa driver in xorg.conf which should get you a graphical login of some kind. so in the Device section add this line: Driver "vesa" [05:46] hi guys. just updated 8.04 to the newest kernel. And now I can't get my resolution beyond 640x480. I attempted to run nvidia-xconfig a number of times. reading the forums, i installed envy and it didn't seem to fix anything. i'm sort of stuck.

[06:15] just a mouser pointer and a background image [06:16] it does load up with the kubuntu logo and progress bar, but I never am prompted to login [06:16] do you have it normally log in automatically? or do you see the login screen and enter your password? [06:16] sandGorgon: Eric is a qt4 Python IDE that a lot of people like. [06:17] usually I see a login screen, I don't have to enter a password [06:19] Has anyone else had problems mounting USB drives via the Device Notifier since 4.2 final? [06:20] what else could the problem be? [06:20] thedark: I'm trying to figure out what could be wrong. try booting the (recovery mode) kernel then choose "drop to console" or whatever it's called, then login with your username/password [06:20] then type: startx [06:22] thedark: sorry I got that wrong [06:22] its okay, I really appreciate your help [06:22] choose root Drop to root shell prompt [06:22] Iokay [06:22] no need to log in [06:22] then type startx [06:23] okay === angelo is now known as wyldone [06:39] well it was different [06:39] after I did startx [06:40] it actually showed the kde windows with the icons showing it was loading the different parts of the system [06:40] anybody knows how to disable the touch pad [06:40] it's messing with my typing [06:40] then the background went black, and all that was left was the mouse cursor, but I couldn't move it... it just hung [06:41] thedark: are you restarting with puppy on the same machine to come back here? [06:41] yes [06:41] ok [06:41] very frustrating [06:42] sorry for the long waits [06:43] so you got the desktop loading, then black, and mouse froze. did you try any keys on the keyboard?

I just wouldn't have done it :( [06:49] I was fine with the last version [06:50] I guess if worse comes to worse I could shrink the partition with gparted, install kubuntu 7.10 and... do I don't know what, exactly... [06:50] you could try the recovery boot again, and try apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to make sure everything got upgraded [06:51] actually, that might be the problem [06:51] I have tried that multiple times [06:51] and [06:51] each time it says it needs to remove a package, add a package, upgrade a package, it needs such and such an amount of memory [06:51] but it never resolve archive.ubuntu or whatever [06:51] so it never does it [06:52] ok well that's something to explore [06:52] okay I will reboot again and tell you what packages it wants to alter [06:52] okay? [06:53] can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list first? [06:53] sure [06:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112670/ [06:55] ok go ahead and reboot now if you want to try upgrading again [06:55] I'll take a look and see what I can see [06:55] okay, thanks again! [07:02] quit [07:05] has anybody else been having problems with kde 4.2 screen going black? [07:06] It started today, for no apparent reason since I didn't do any upgrade (but I did install a few devel stuff, so maybe something was pulled in as a dependency) [07:06] the problem looks like kwin is doing something weird [07:07] because after login, the screen fades to black and desktop menus and such are also too dark to be visible [07:08] non-kde apps though (pulled in through the session) like firefox work fine, so it is not a monitor problem [07:12] I have installed Kubuntu 8.10 and trying to upgrade to KDE 4.2. I have added the repositories and going to upgrade but have doubt on plamoids [07:13] It is written on Kubuntu page to remove plasmoids [07:14] Does it mean all the lasma_applet files in /usr/lib/kde4 [07:14] Please help me [07:16] kagashe: unless you are pretty sure about what you are doing, please don't touch anything under /usr [07:18] yes!! I fixed it! [07:18] Then please explain what is meant by "Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids." as written on this page http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 at no 4 [07:19] it means if you installed third party plasmoids from kde-look.org or something [07:19] you should delete them because they are no longer compatible with the new plasma API [07:19] these should be in your $HOME/.kde/share folder though not in /usr [07:20] pkt: what did you do to fix your problem? [07:20] libkwineffects was somehow still 4.1.2 === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [07:20] It is a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.10 with all updates applied. There is no third party software [07:20] pkt: so not everything updated [07:21] yep, maybe kdebase is missing a dependency?

[07:23] I would assume so... I had 8.04, I am just a fool that clicked the Adept button to upgrade to 8.10 [07:23] since then I don't know what is what [07:23] kagashe: Then (at least in theory) you have nothing to be afraid of [07:24] thedark: 8.04 is hardy, but your sources.list shows references to gutsy repos. did you do a new install of 8.04 or was that upgraded from 7.10 (gutsy)?

[08:54] i ran the updater [08:55] sudo apt-get -f install [08:55] sascha_: ^ [08:55] that gave me an error, is should run manually dpkg --configure -a [08:55] then do so [08:55] :P [08:55] sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:55] i did, that gave me the message I posted first [08:55] :) [08:56] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:56] try that [08:57] Paddy_EIRE: any ideas on my issue?

[09:21] I've trashed my /usr/share/applications/kde/keys.desktop file. Is there a way to restore it?

[11:02] what will be better install kde4.2 on kubuntu 8.04 or isntall kubuntu 8.10 and upgrade [11:02] or install kubuntu wichout X (alternate CD) and install kde4.2 [11:03] probably the best way is to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 so you get 4.1 or something [11:03] then upgrade to 4.2 [11:03] but i imagine the recommended way is explained in the topic url [11:05] so install 8.10 and upgrade kde [11:05] i don't wanna upgrade ubuntu, it never works [11:06] and one more, is it worth ? kde3.5 vs kde4.2 ? [11:07] depends what it is you want [11:07] personally i hate 4.2 [11:08] i tried it and had to reinstall completely to go back to 3.5 [11:08] you might be better trying it in a virtualbox or vmware before upgrading your main machine [11:10] mhm [11:11] i've got same feelings about 4.1 but i really like kde [11:11] and don't wanna stay back or install gnome [11:12] you can't install 4.2 on 8.04 and the alternate CD will install X and KDE as normal [11:13] are you shure that ther is no way to disable kde install ? [11:14] you'd have to use the server CD [11:14] mhm [11:14] and ofcource server cd is very diffrent from desktop ? [11:15] the server CD does not install X or KDE or Gnome [11:15] just a command line system [11:15] and only this ? [11:16] if you don't want to install a Desktop system you need to use the Server CD [11:16] is it suppord mdadm ? i want make softweare raid (alternate CD does) [11:16] the server install supports everything the alternate CD does [11:16] i want desktop and X but i don't wanna mess in packages [11:17] nothing stopping you from installing the desktop after you've installed the system [11:17] i know :) [11:18] but first i must check out kde4.2 on vbox === quassel181 is now known as ScottK-laptop [11:37] login #amsn [11:41] This is a test (sorry for the disturbance). [11:43] urbinek: I doubt you will gain much by testing on vbox.

Why? [12:31] kde-nightly is from the Neon project, not Kubuntu [12:33] stdin, i followed http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 to get KDE4.2 [12:34] there isn't a separate menu entry for 4.2, it's just "KDE" [12:35] ok, i will check [12:35] please i can run ncurses functions from gfortran or fort77 ??

[13:14] shal3r: i dont know exactly if this is need to switch but normally installing kdm for kde4 should remove gdm but i dont know exactly havent done for a long time maybe wait if anyone confirms this [13:14] :) [13:15] how do i see printer jobs queue??

[14:52] ghostcube, thanks for help [14:52] ghostcube: I'll check [14:53] shal3r: np ehm better looking ff ? hmm i dont know but i think there is an firefox kubuntu addon package [14:53] just search apt-gcache search firefox [14:53] *cache [14:53] Good Morning. I have a question regarding usb [14:54] ghostcube: there was nothing to update. i installed the packages listed under xorg-server on that page. restarted. didn't fix the hang, which occurred when i tried quitting knetworkmanager. restarted again, managed to quit it with no problems. [14:55] d_mitry: if u add the repo i gave u [14:55] and do [14:55] i did [14:55] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:55] it should catch the xorg-packages [14:55] oO if not this would be strange [14:55] I am using usbview, and it says "Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices Verify that you have usb compiled into your kernel have the usb core modules loaded ,and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted. [14:56] how in the heck to i do that? =) [14:56] two secs [14:58] dewman: sudo mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb [14:58] dewman: second hit on google [14:59] systray corruption is so annoying. like having something stuck in your teeth [15:00] JohnFlux. Thanks. Is there a way to make that persistant after a reboot? [15:02] dewman: maybe you should put that on /etc/fstab [15:02] usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 [15:02] put that line in /etc/fstab [15:02] dewman: ^^ [15:02] that's it :) [15:02] howdy [15:02] got it. [15:03] ghostcube: which packages would be downloaded? i could check my version against the latest because perhaps i've already updated them. [15:04] d_mitry: if nothing is caught they will be the same maybe [15:04] or you already updated [15:04] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [15:04] hmm ok [15:05] some packages were upgraded (like gwenview and some bluetooth), but nothing related to xorg. [15:05] a question... are you experiencing perfomance issues after upgrading a kubuntu 8.10 fresh install?? [15:06] also, more lag with kde 4.2. :( [15:07] trying to find a solution to see windows folders from kubuntu installed using WUBI loader rather then GRUB [15:09] khalidmian: do you mean seeing the folders in a file manager in linux? [15:09] hayall i am going to to have to convert a vfat to ext3 (hdd is blank now). How would i go about using mkfs.ext3 ?? any ideas? [15:10] Anyone who knows what packages to download in order to get KDE control center to work? I am using Konversation under Gnome and would like to change some fonts, which are otherwise unaccessable. [15:10] shadowhywind: If hd partition is eg: /dev/sdc1 then: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 [15:11] KORBEN_X64: yes i would like to see my window files from within kubuntu using dolphin or whatever but the problem is that i installed kubuntu within windows which uses Wubi loader instead of Grub [15:11] genii: is that it? no special flags or anything?? (just don't want to screw anything up, hehe) [15:12] shadowhywind: There are a lot of options than CAN be specified. But the defaults are fine. [15:12] khalidmian: forgive if i am mistaken, i never used Wubi but... is the whole system installed in it's own partition? [15:12] genii: also good guess on the /dev/sdc1, thats the exact partition i am doing, hehe [15:13] or is it installed inside a huge file in an ntfs/fat32 partition? [15:13] also One other issue, my left click on my touchpad is now acting as a leftclick and a paste c ommand, any ideas? [15:14] KORBEN_X64: im not sure im not that techinically savvy sorry but im assuming that the install is within the same hd i dont know if it createsa seperate partition because in worth come scenario i can actually reboot to windows and uninstall kubuntu via add/remove programs which one cant if installed using Grub [15:15] hi all. i'm just setting upo 8-10 with kde 4.1, and i'm confused about knetworkamanger. it never asks for a passphrase for the wireless. it just tries to conenct and fails. [15:15] what am i missing? [15:16] Ciao [15:16] khalidmian: i just readed some wubi documentation an as i thought, it installs linux in the same partition as windows... no messing with the hard disk [15:16] Duesentrieb: are u using wirelss networking @ home [15:16] c'è qualche buona anima che mi da una mano? [15:16] khalidmian: huh? [15:16] khalidmian: what do you mean? i'm seeing the network. i'm using it to post this message. [15:16] Duesentrieb: to connect to internet what are u using [15:17] from another box, obviously [15:17] WEP? WPA? WPA2 or what? [15:17] khalidmian: wpa2/psk i think. [15:17] c' qualche Italiano??? [15:18] anyway, if i am not mistaken, you should see windows folders... try to mount the windows filesystem manually... [15:18] i've some issues using wpa in kubuntu... it drops the connection every 2-3 minutes and then it connect again [15:19] khalidmian: WPA version 1, TKIP, PSK [15:19] (or so iwlist sais) [15:19] Duesentrieb: see pm pls [15:19] khalidmian: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php [15:20] there they say that windows folders are accesible in /host or /media [15:20] where does KDELIBS environment var get set normally? [15:21] shadowhywind: You might also want to change the partition type of sdc1 to linux from vfat or so, but it's not essential for formatting or mounting it from fstab. Automount may get confused however. [15:23] KORBEN_X64: ty [15:23] hi [15:24] it worked? [15:25] hello all, what is the fastest and best internet browser in Kubuntu?

I have a quick question. What is the best lightweight version of ubunutu to use? [16:00] Kubuntu ofcourse [16:01] Tm_T: Well, its a little heavy weight. I am talking about running it on OLD hardware. [16:01] resno: so am I, it's not heavy here, but then again, you never mentioned what you need and what are the preferences (:) [16:01] Xubuntu [16:02] carpii_: it's not automatically that much "lighter" really (:) [16:02] hm... once again, i can't find the setting for switching to another desktop by bumping the mouse into the screen's edge... [16:02] resno: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php [16:02] where is is hidden in kde4? [16:02] depends whether you mean lighter as in download size, or lighter for performance i guess [16:03] carpii_: well, I can run KDE4 fine with my old laptop, 128 MiB ram [16:03] resno: look at what you want at http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php [16:03] carpii_: lighter performance, i am running it on older hardware. [16:04] if iphone support is available in vista under virtual box pls let me know cause i want to then install kubuntu using whole harddrive and install vista using virtual box [16:05] resno: CLI-only install is lightest ofcourse, then LXDE with it perhaps... there's lots of what user can affect though [16:05] oh. "active desctop barders" or whatever it is in english. in the settings for the *window* behavior. not in the settigns for virtual desktops. [16:05] gah! [16:06] Tm_T: ok.

[16:31] dr_Willis: also i have intel centrino duo how do i find out if my unit is 64 bit capable? and if it is do u recommend 64 bit over 32 bit installing of kubuntu/vista? [16:33] khalidmian: recovery disks are not meant for install. [16:33] khalidmian: they are meant to recover. [16:33] resno: which means i need actual vista dvd [16:34] khalidmian: yes [16:34] hi all!

I've tried removing my .kde directory. im running on vmware fusion, if that matters. kde 4.1 worked fine. [16:49] khalidmian: Core 2 are usually 64bit [16:49] I have a problem: my kubuntu installtion has suddenly started using firefox as default browser from konversation, instead of konqueror [16:50] genii: its says l1 cache 32kb/32kb [16:51] but the fiule association is still right: konqueror for html .... why is it doing that? [16:51] hey, all. i'm suddenly having issues w/ pkg mgr. for instance, apt-get update fails to fetch archive.ubuntu.com feisty. i'm running ubuntu 7.04. is feisty officially dead? [16:52] khalidmian: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9SH indicates it's a 64bit cpu [16:53] ct529: go into system settings /default applications [16:54] hairy918: Feisty reached End of Life in Oct 2008 [16:54] khalidmian: yes, done .... but the selection there is "in an applicarion based on the content of the URL" as it should be .... [16:54] please, any one knows how to run the qemu pc emulator on my terminal? [16:55] hm. guess i gotta get my 8.10 install working. Unfortunately, pkg mgr on that died also - claims something like 'cups is dead because of triggers' - not on right now, so I don't recall exact wording. [16:56] plus, i couldn't get authentication to my ldap server working [16:56] ct529: click button in the following browser and choose application you want to use as default to browse [16:57] genii: i have a centrino duo [16:57] khalidmian: yes, I know I can do that .... I am asking *why* did kubuntu set firefox as default browser when I never selected it [16:57] genii: which is different from core 2 duo [16:58] ct529: no clue mate [16:58] khalidmian: So what is: [11:45:13] * Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T5500 (1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB, L1 Cache 32KB/32KB, L2 Cache 2MB) [16:58] helpdesk: Try in #qemu channel [16:58] jpedroza: is there a linux kernel channel?

When you change the resolution, do you write those changes back to xorg? [17:03] reconfigured X11 [17:04] can i report my errors to the maintainers directory ? [17:04] wohoo i have the beta win7 cd should i install that in virtual box? any recomendations? [17:04] hmmm, it did it a while ago while I was on nvidia as well [17:04] khalidmian, do what you want. :) this is linux.. we dont force you to do things like.. err.. the Makers of Windows7 :) [17:04] ahhh well, no worries thank you for offering === aardvark is now known as seraphim [17:04] khalidmian, and i am testing Windows7 on this box for a while.. :P figured i would test it befor i reformated it for linux [17:05] khalidmian: I have had major issues getting Windows Vista working in VirtualBox. I reverted back to XP. [17:05] dr_Willis: im thinking of ways to have kubuntu as main o/s and windows installed in virtual box scenario [17:06] jpedroza: what issues did u face === seraphim is now known as aardvark [17:06] khalidmian: Not sure if it still does, but for a while putting Vista on virtualized environment violated EULA. === aardvark is now known as seraphim [17:06] khalidmian: Mostly had the install for Adobe CS 3, but could never get installers to work correctly. Running applications failed frequently as well. [17:06] I think MS changed that EULA - Like anyone would ever bother to 'follow' the eula anyway. [17:06] jpedroza: i dont think i have xp anymore [17:07] I got XP set up for virtualbox. but never use it much [17:07] jpedroza: i only need it for itunes/iphone sync nothing more [17:07] screw ms eula violation [17:07] khalidmian: Never tried iTunes under VirtualBox, and I have Verizon. :) [17:07] khalidmian: if you do cpuid it will show you the detailed characteristics of your CPU [17:08] hmmm [17:08] khalidmian: As I recall, I did have trouble with USB passthrough as well, hence the reverting to XP. It works fine now.

Might be worth looking into [17:11] khalidmian: it should give you also more information about supported stuff [17:12] i was hoping to get rid of windows and run kubuntu and have vista under virtual box :( [17:12] khalidmian: I have to say that the new output for cpuid is real crap .... the previous format was much better! [17:12] khalidmian: yes, you can .... why not? [17:12] jpedroza says he/she was having problems [17:12] khalidmian: well,at least I think so .... but you may have some licensing issues there [17:13] who gives a rats ass about microsoft licencing [17:13] khalidmian: I think vista EULA explicitly says you cannot run it in a virtual machine .... but please check .... [17:13] * jpedroza is a he [17:13] :) [17:13] khalidmian: is it 64bit? [17:13] i just want usb support for syncing my iphone with itunes under windows as i do not want to jailbreak my iphone [17:14] khalidmian: can you not install itunes under linux using wine? [17:14] !itunes [17:14] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players).

[17:24] got it working now [17:24] in theory a you could set the app to use 'x-www-browser' and it would use the system default browser [17:24] doesn't seem very smooth though [17:24] i let my girlfriend on my laptop and she closed the desktop how do i get i tback xD [17:25] If you mean the 'desktop icons' in a window - its some Plasmid applet [17:26] why isnt samba automaticly installed [17:26] its kinda important isnt it :o [17:27] !find vym [17:27] Found: vym [17:27] it can be - or uit can be useless [17:27] Ubuntu takes a very 'locked' down by default apprioach [17:28] SSH is not isntalled by default either.. only a select few sericces are installed by default [17:28] gnome and kde both can 'browse' the windows network ans shares without samba being installed.. [17:28] :o [17:29] well when i right click on a folder and go to share nothing happends and i googled a bit and found out it was samba thats missing [17:29] but please tell me if there is an faster/easyer way :P [17:29] its 'supposed' to pop up a dialog and ask to install samba [17:29] but i always install samba manually as part of my normal setup. [17:29] 'sudo apt-get install samba' [17:29] then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to set your workgroup [17:30] hello, all - anybody done ldap authentication? Have locations changed between 8.10 and 7.04?

[17:31] i was going to share a new folder in home but [17:31] ^ [17:32] failers, check your entries in /etc/fstab they are incorrect sounds like [17:32] hm ok [17:33] dr_Willis: they arent added there at all :P [17:34] only got my root and swap in there [17:34] !windows [17:34] For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[17:37] ask and see -- getting answeres.. may be harder === maite is now known as maitetxu56 [17:37] hi ! [17:37] hi dr willis [17:38] Theres no need to say Hi - 10x times :) [17:38] i have installed firefox 3.0.5; the latest version [17:39] but the browser has covered all the task bar and leaving no exit to assess the bar besides closing the browser [17:40] I'm pretty sure I've got the client ldap set up the same as a working 7.04 install, but 'getent passwd' on the client just returns the client's passwd [17:40] right click on the taskbar thing and try move/maxamize/whatever... or alt-click on the window and move it around [17:40] I tried to call the browser through command prompt and it run ok [17:40] but this happened again if i call the browser through application launcher [17:41] at mount point i just use /boot ? [17:41] could I know how to fix it [17:41] failers, What are you wanting to mount to /boot ? /boot is a very special place.. [17:41] jpedroza: do u recommended xp professional? [17:42] dr_Willis: uhm i though /boot would make it mount ON boot not at /boot :P [17:42] the problem is I can't even see the task bar [17:42] /boot is a directorry [17:42] it was all covered up by the browser [17:42] oh so just by adding it at all in fstab makes it mount when i boot [17:43] does intrepid still doesn't works with bluetooth audio devices (headsets) ? [17:43] a proper line in the fstab WILL get mounted at boot. the 'noauto' option in the fstab line options - makes a place NOT get mounted at boot [17:43] * [17:43] dr_Willis: ah ok thanks , now i get it :) [17:44] Mounting filesystems and fstab are doucmented in 10000+s of places.. :) [17:44] Literally - its documeted all over the place ;) [17:44] Hi [17:46] However, I do have a question - 'modern' fstabs have things like 'UUID=9911c8d0 / ext3' and so on, instead of just the dev.

[17:49] i just used the command "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" to get my uuid's [17:49] failers, theres a dozen ways to do it. :) [17:49] :P [17:49] Thats common 'linux' -> always 12 way to do somthing [17:49] Hmm is us.archive.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? === martijn is now known as martijn81 [17:50] nope not me [17:50] working for me [17:50] but anyway reboot now time to check if i made it right this time in fstab ^ [17:50] 99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.31)] [17:50] and its just hanging...

[20:54] i dont even know what strigi is :P [20:54] bartosz@bartosz-desktop:~$ strigidaemon [20:54] WARNING: field 'http://strigi.sf.net/ontologies/0.9#debugParseError' is not defined in any rdfs ontology database.

[20:57] Hmm, curiosity question, why is it that my Xorg is using 470M of memory (according to ksysguard (or 500M according to htop) [20:58] KDE is pretty good, but these 2 problems are so annoying... [20:58] i love this version [20:58] aside from wierd plasma problems [20:59] i can't get my touchpad working properly on my macbook pro :( [20:59] I can't wait for 4.3! :) [20:59] kde just made linux so god d*** awesome exept the graphical bugs that occurs on nvidia cards :P [20:59] kde 4 is not finished [21:00] so there are many problems else [21:00] IRC problem, I keep getting the same error box every few seconds. It creates thousands of message boxes if I don't close them. "Unknown message somename@sbcglobal.net The IRC server received a message it did not understand " [21:00] siekacz: certainly getting there though :) [21:00] thismamacooks200: wich irc client do you use? [21:01] failers: pidgin [21:01] but KDE will be much better than Win7 or Gnome [21:01] not going to lie, i like win7 a lot [21:01] kde is better than win7 and gnome [21:01] isntaled it on my desktop [21:02] win7 is quite good, but it's still "better vista" :) [21:02] therefore, kde will just have to become that much better than kde :) [21:03] anyone have any experience with *nix on macbook pros? [21:03] * siekacz has never used macbook :) [21:03] * astromme has never owned a macbook [21:04] in my country, Apple is too expensive for everyone :) [21:04] in my country too [21:06] thismamacooks200: where are you from? :) [21:06] USA [21:07] in soviet russia, apple buys you [21:07] I live near russia [21:07] on the european or asian side?

[21:10] marek_: I see you're from poland so #ubuntu-pl :) [21:10] I think Kino comes built in [21:12] I think canonical should change from gnome to KDE [21:12] marek_: I see Cinelerra too, http://www.linux.com/feature/60624 [21:13] firefox is crashing on me constantly :/ === stephen is now known as Guest8405 [21:13] they do KDE already, its called Kubuntu. I want them to stay with Gnome. KDE has always been problematic. Now KDE4 is a disaster [21:14] kde brings something new to Linux [21:15] Talking about kde... I'use kubuntu 8.04 (kde3), It works fine. I've been testing kubuntu 8.10 (kde4) and I have many problems. Can any tell me if ku 8.10 with kde4 is working fine? [21:15] athlon1: 9.04 should work quite good [21:16] Tried also with kde 4.2, but also with problems... [21:16] athlon1: works fine here [21:16] athlon1: as you said you are still using 8.04 [21:16] athlon1: I'm having sporadic problems [21:16] 4.2 [21:16] some problems but ... delicious [21:17] Yes, I use 8.04 and try to migrate to 8.10, but not until solved problems... [21:17] athlon1: plasma crashes when using certain widgets, firefox crashing constantly, problems with my touchpad (damn apple, not necessarily KDE 4.3 problem) [21:17] KDE 4.4 should be perfect DE [21:17] adalgiso: I have none of those issues here (:) [21:18] when 4,4? [21:18] Tm_T: i'm jealous :) [21:18] kde 4.4??? But when is going to be that? [21:18] kde 4.2 is experimental.... [21:18] not so experimental [21:19] Anyone know where to bind multimedia keys? E.g XF86Calculator -> speedcrunch (KDE4.1) [21:19] according to the KDE website, athlon1, 4.2 is their latest stable [21:20] 4.4? i think it shold be released on the begining of 2010 [21:20] hallo [21:20] hello :P [21:20] siekacz: you can think so but that is not based on any facts [21:21] hello, Besitzer [21:21] i cant install kubuntu 8.10... see this: http://images26.fotosik.pl/127/3307b8bd1541d807med.jpg please help :( [21:21] they release new version after six months [21:22] siekacz: that's what we try, about, but it's not the time that defines release times at final level [21:22] siekacz: schedules are meant to be changed (;) [21:22] its the functionality and bugs that defines release times :P [21:22] Besitzer: does that happen when booting the livecd or after installing? [21:23] Which has been the last kubuntu LTS and wich one is going to be the next? [21:23] both [21:23] Besitzer: have you tried using the alternate (text-only) install cd? [21:23] athlon1: 6.06 and next could be 10.04 or maybe not [21:23] Besitzer: it looks like a driver issue - will it let you go to text-only mode? [21:24] i have tried DESKTOP and ALTERNATE cd to boot and to install.. not working.. i have try to "text mode" with "ESC" doesnt work too... [21:24] Tm_T: thanks. [21:24] Bestizer: it looks like the wrong driver was configured for xorg [21:25] Besitzer: what's your graphics card? [21:25] i have "VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter" [21:26] SiS... [21:26] the old kubuntu CD is working fine for me (8.04)... but i need 8.10 :S [21:26] Never worked for me... [21:26] hi guys, using the "find a file..." funcion in storage media i get this message "Malformed URL media:/." what does it mean? how do i fix it? and how can i find a file considering that usually this function doesnt really work, thanks [21:28] in 8.10 they removed displayconfig-gtk [21:28] so it is very difficult to configure xorg [21:29] zer0o: sounds like your DCOP config file is messed up [21:29] i can add this to .iso ? [21:29] Besitzer: it won't work [21:29] damn :( [21:29] zerOo: find is a command of the operating system and media:/ is understood by programs of kde. You have to find it from /media/... [21:30] in x.org 7.4 they made some changes, so it won't work [21:30] zer0o: If you go into your home folder, and rm -rf .dcop* I believe it will fix it - perhaps back up .dcop first (cp .dcop .dcop.bak) [21:30] but.. ubuntu 8.10 working fine... [21:30] Besitzer: you used fotosik.pl, ale you from poland? [21:30] im from germany [21:31] neil: i'll try it and get back to u in a min, thanks [21:31] this picture i have found by using google..he has the same problem ;) [21:31] neil: it says "cp: cannot stat `.dcop': No such file or directory" [21:31] ?? [21:31] SiS won't work good under linux [21:32] but ubuntu 8.10 work... kubuntu 8.10 work.. this is *** :( [21:32] on my laptop, 3D acceleration doesn't work [21:32] sry.. i mean ubuntu 8.10 work and kubuntu 8.10 DOESNT work [21:32] <_mcgrew_> Is there a way with apt to install only dependencies for a package and not the package itself? [21:32] ;) [21:33] zer0o: hmm... interesting [21:33] Ah - sorry [21:33] Ignore me [21:33] Do you know if it's possible to acces mobil by bluetooh as if it were a drive mounted on Media:/. I use ku 8.04 and konqueror shows me bluetooth. [21:33] It'll be .dcop* [21:33] And so not something you can just cp [21:34] neil__: with the * [21:34] ah ok [21:34] so what do i do? :D [21:34] You *should* be fine to remove it without backing it up [21:35] But, not something I've done myself [21:35] adalgiso: siekacz ? any ideas? [21:35] zer0o: what are you trying todo :o [21:35] the thing is i looked at it in the "storage media" folder and it just doesnt exist [21:35] the .dcop i mean [21:35] Besitzer: no ideas :( [21:35] Is it in your ~ (home) folder? [21:35] failers: using the "find a file..." funcion in storage media i get this message "Malformed URL media:/." what does it mean? how do i fix it? and how can i find a file considering that usually this function doesnt really work [21:35] then i most use mandriva... this support my laptop :S [21:36] Besitzer: sry, im out of ideas. The change with xorg 7.4 is new to me, and i'm still trying to figure things out [21:36] zer0o: start a terminal and "sudo find /media/ -name FILENAME" ? :o [21:36] neil__: yes in my home folder i searched it, of course after an ALT + . for the hidden ones, but is not there [21:36] zer0o: sorry - out of ideas [21:37] Besitzer: so use mandriva if it works [21:37] it is linux too :) [21:37] failers: nothing happens [21:37] neil__: ok thx [21:37] zer00: Can you mount it. For solving problems of mounting, I mount them in /mnt (can you declare them in fstab?) [21:37] yes mandriva works with my laptop and kde 4.1 and kde 4.2 ..^^ [21:37] so if it works - use it :) [21:37] athlon1: yes sure fstab its well compiled [21:37] but i like apt-get =) [21:37] alright [21:37] i'll re-google it and c where it gets me [21:37] thanks [21:38] bye [21:39] and ubuntu with gnome works too but.. gnome sucks... [21:39] i hope the developer fix kubuntu in the next release [21:39] besitzer: i have used debian in the past, the only thing i dont like is their slow update period [21:39] but any debian-based system will use apt [21:39] Besitzer install ubuntu sudo apt-get kde and kubuntu base and everythiing :P [21:39] and then uninstall gnome [21:39] ^ [21:39] ^^ [21:40] but its no sultion =D [21:40] failers: probably dont want to uninstall gnome, it may break lots of things [21:40] ok [21:40] so install ubuntu server and install KDE :) [21:40] lol [21:41] and all because kubuntu cd doesnt work.. this is shit.. [21:41] yeah i dont like this change to xorg [21:41] now i don't know where are resolution [21:42] settings [21:42] under system settings in the Application menu? [21:42] yes there is a program to change resolution, but when you want to add resolution... [21:42] it sucks :] [21:43] ahh, do you have restricted drivers installed? [21:43] like fglrx or the nvidia drivers? [21:43] adalgiso: my card is no longer supported by ATi [21:43] siekacz: that sucks [21:43] i have to use ati [21:43] Radeon 9250 :( [21:43] ati and linux lol [21:43] =D [21:43] can't use fglrx>?

I wasn't arguing that [22:05] I'm just trying to help you get at more recent docs given that no-one has updated that website [22:05] Maybe kde is to easy to waste time on writing docs :) [22:06] if you go to "Help" in the menu, you'll get the same docs that would/should be on that website [22:07] bah reboot brb [22:07] Why doesn work this? obex://[00:17:e5:d3:23:24]:11/C: It returns me an error (unable to connect the server).

[22:26] But still, KDE system settings won't keep the Enable Strigi checkbox ticked.... [22:27] It keeps unticking it and saying that strigi isn't running. [22:27] I have this too [22:28] I think it might be a packaging error. [22:28] not working Strigi, and crashing plasma - that's my problems with KDE 4.2 [22:28] Riddell: do you know anything about this? [22:28] siekacz: Plasma is pretty good for me, but it does crash a bit when I'm mucking around with plasmoids. [22:29] KDE Twitter? [22:29] Wha..?

They always move back to the center. Is this a bug or am I missing something? [22:32] They however align just fine on the left side. [22:32] siekacz: yeah, it has to be the packages. It works fine in openSuse 11.1 [22:33] but it seems that Riddell and apachelogger aren't around - so we can't ask them about it. [22:33] raindog: when you close kde and run again? [22:34] does anyone have a problem with screen resolution? [22:34] siekacz: Nope, as soon as I add a widget to the second activity on the right side it automatically moves to the center. [22:34] another error [22:35] maybe in jaunty it will work :] [22:35] No biggie for me. But thanks siekacz. I'll check and see if there is a bug report on it. [22:35] I'll test it in a jaunty vm.

[23:00] hi [23:01] ok let's try to install sesame [23:01] Yeah, the strigi 'sesame' backend is written in Java....... [23:02] and the sesame backend is the one that KDE 4.2 requires cause the redland backend is so slow. [23:04] ok.. kwin effects turned off because compositing was too slow [23:04] Socceroos: kubuntu doesn't compile the backend at all [23:04] I can't find sesame in the repo's [23:04] !find sesame [23:04] Found: python-sesame [23:04] Socceroos :) [23:04] that's not it [23:04] Aww :( I tried [23:05] the backend requires several binary files to work that we can't distribute [23:06] JontheEchidna: do you know which ones so we can do it ourselves? [23:06] well, even if you had the files you would still have to compile the backend, which would require compiling soprano for yourself too [23:07] I don't think I could walk you through the whole thing [23:07] Gah [23:07] Now i cant start my lampp server because of aconada!! [23:07] Can anything more go wrong!! [23:08] X could freeze and your harddrive wipes itself. [23:08] Sorry, I couldnt help it :( [23:08] ..... [23:08] http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hht7VZ29XgM/SYbnbVoycmI/AAAAAAAARtU/oXLkzMcKLZA/s400/paski-porownanie.png - Gnome is like Win7 :) [23:08] And to disable aconada seems impossible. [23:08] power could cut while kubuntu secretly degrag your files wich no one knew it could so the hdd gets destroyed [23:08] not KDE [23:08] *defrag [23:08] Bah, il just crash the Mysql process i dont have time with this shit [23:09] JontheEchidna: aaarrrgh. So basically you can't build the sesame backend because it requires proprietary binaries? [23:09] well, technically not "proprietary" but sorta proprietary [23:09] ........ [23:11] So, Strigi requires something what's not OpenSource, right? [23:11] partially [23:11] it's a mix of opensouce and some non opensource [23:12] hi all [23:12] So, gotta install Google Desktop :/ [23:12] and it's soprano, not strigi [23:12] kde 4.2 packagers: would it be possible to compile kopete with the meanwhile plugin enabled? [23:12] how do i search for a process in the terminal? [23:13] Heliodor1: ps auxf [23:13] jk-: it should have meanwhile support already [23:13] JontheEchidna: so soprano has some proprietary bits in it? [23:13] gotta go to bed - 00:13 :) [23:13] Socceroos: yeah [23:13] siekacz: good night [23:13] bye [23:14] Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora don't package it for that reason [23:14] JontheEchidna: but openSuse does [23:14] JontheEchidna: oh, neat. for some reason it didn't show up in my protocols list. [23:14] hm, still doesn't. [23:15] * jk- investigates [23:15] JontheEchidna: surely someone should package it in their PPA or something? =( [23:15] what is the number in xorg log files? eg Xorg.0.log Xorg.9.log etc [23:15] Recently I've been contemplating doing it, but I haven't found the time yet [23:15] mefisto__: it's the display number [23:17] jk-: thanks for the help [23:18] is it just me or does adept-manager lack a way to sort the packages? [23:18] JontheEchidna: oh well, I'll just have to wait till something is sorted out then... Or compile my own Soprano with the required config options. [23:19] also why does searching for "amarok" bring up "kmymoney"? [23:20] I killed the mysqld process, but the lampp server still says there is another mysql process running, what am i missing here?? [23:20] JontheEchidna: I've compiled a lot of packages for FreeBSD before, so it isn't too foreign to me. Is it just the Soprano package that I need to compile with proper support? [23:20] just soprano [23:21] Heliodor1: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop [23:21] JontheEchidna: cool. and can I have it just install the binaries in their default dirs or is there a different install path? [23:21] hi guys how do i do a search of only videoclips? [23:21] Socceroos: I would guess you'd want to install things to the default path [23:22] jk-: Thanks, but still same shit [23:22] jk-: lamp started perfect on gnome, but not now on kde [23:22] JontheEchidna: ok. I just wasn't sure if KDE required them in some obscure dir. [23:22] dpkg -L soprano, and you can see where the current stuff is going [23:22] ah, cool. thanks for that! [23:23] ah, maybe the akonadi mysql server is getting in the way? [23:23] ^ Heliodor1 [23:23] jk-: That was what i thought. [23:23] jk-: but ive stoped all mysql processes i can find [23:23] jk-: should I have more than one "display"? is that display as in hardware or something else? [23:24] The akonadi mysql server is nothing more than a symlink to the installed server [23:24] mefisto__: no, you almost always only have one [23:24] jk-: 090203 00:21:53 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/lampp/var/mysql [23:24] ^G/opt/lampp/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13) [23:24] jk-: just wondering why xorg logs show I have 0 1 2 9 and 10 === KDogg is now known as K-Dogg187 [23:24] Heliodor1: looks like it can't find the table data [23:25] jk-: yeah, and running mysql_upgrade wont work since its looking at the wrong path [23:26] I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but does anyone know why the feisty-backports/, feisty-proposed/, feisty-security/, feisty-updates/ folders are still on the package servers? [23:26] JontheEchidna: do you have a meanwhile protocol in your list? [23:26] strace shows that it's not trying to open the plugin lib [23:27] jk-: nope [23:27] JontheEchidna: do you know how to search the strigi database in kde [23:27] JontheEchidna: ok, cheers [23:27] giz: not in kde4, I never figured that out [23:27] jk-: I do know that the plugin lib is being installed [23:27] it could be an upstream bug [23:28] yeah, i can see it's in the package [23:28] if you file an upstream bug please make sure to mention that or else they'll bounce it back in a new york second :P [23:28] i am the upstream :P [23:28] oh, cool [23:29] (jsut for the meanwhile plugin) [23:29] ah, so you're the one who filed the wishlist report for the inclusion in the packaging. I'm the one who did that packaging :) [23:30] or well, got the change for meanwhile support included in the packages [23:30] JontheEchidna: no, I don't think that was me [23:30] oh [23:30] hm, looks like we're missing a .desktop entry [23:30] I can run a kdenetwork build here and check the list-missing output [23:30] might take a bit though [23:31] yeah, no kopete_meanwhile.desktop in debian/kopete.install [23:32] * JontheEchidna might have a hunch of what happened [23:32] oh, nevermind [23:32] * JontheEchidna was thinking msn support [23:33] KDEnetworkmanager makes me sad. Actually, most network managers make me sad. [23:33] ok, just manually copied the .desktop file in, all seems to work fine now. [23:33] jk-: I will investiage [23:34] investigate, even [23:34] cheers :) [23:34] investiage sounds cool outloud though [23:34] feel free to get in touch if I can lend a hand [23:34] jk (at) ozlabs.org [23:37] ozlabs: as in, ozzie? [23:37] as in, aussie? [23:37] =P [23:42] hooray for oz! [23:45] when will ktorrent in intrepid be updated? [23:45] mefisto__: you're from NSW? [23:45] it is really outdated now [23:46] btw 3.2 will come out in two weeks [23:46] martijn81: I believe there is an updated ktorrent in the kubuntu-experimental PPA [23:46] if you're using KDE 4.2 [23:47] !login [23:47] use @login [23:47] @login [23:47] Error: You are not identified [23:47] um [23:47] Socceroos: yes [23:48] does i have to back up anything else than /home if i do a clean reinstall? [23:49] hi [23:49] hi [23:49] Socceroos: no there is not, i have the experimental ppa enabled and there is no update says apt-cache policy ktorrent [23:49] can someone helpme get kde4.2 on an ubuntu server? [23:50] dendraya- might be worth making a backup of /etc as well [23:51] how do I make kde quit opening things I never closed properly do see it in system settings [23:51] don't [23:51] Dragnslcr: ok, i'll back it up, too, thx [23:52] in old kde I believe it was under login manager or window or something like that [23:52] i updated the souces list [23:52] dendraya- /etc has mostly system-wide configuration files, so if you have something line Apache installed, its config files would be there [23:52] added the signal key [23:52] dendraya: you might want to backup other files you've modified too, to save you having to do it all again. eg /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/fstab /etc/network/interfaces /etc/apt/sources.list are things I usually modify [23:53] dendraya- you definitely shouldn't copy the backup of /etc to the new installation. Just copy files as you need them [23:53] Dragnslcr: oh, ok... thx for the info [23:54] btw, will there be any problems upgrading from 8.04 kde4.1 to 8.10/9.04 kde4.2 === marius is now known as Guest70282 [23:55] 'cause now i have a .kde and a .kde4 dir... [23:56] does anyone know information about installing KDE 4.2 on Ubuntu srvr? [23:58] dendraya: do you (or did you) have kde4 installed in hardy? [23:58] mefisto__: yes, i installed 8.04 remix [23:59] dendraya: your kde4 settings are in .kde4 and the .kde is for kde3
