| v3trae | afternoon y'all | 00:09 |
| adben | hello everyone | 00:13 |
| cbwcjw | !hi | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 00:13 |
| v3trae | adben: hiya | 00:13 |
| adben | one question friends, kdm theme setup how it' s possible with kde 4.2? | 00:15 |
| v3trae | adben: can you use a 4.1 theme on 4.2? | 00:15 |
| adben | no | 00:16 |
| adben | i just need to change the font size | 00:16 |
| cbwcjw | System Settings -> Advanced -> Login Manager | 00:16 |
| cbwcjw | Its right there. | 00:16 |
| v3trae | yup | 00:16 |
| adben | oh yeah tnx , sorry for the stupid q | 00:17 |
| cbwcjw | !stupid | adben | 00:17 |
| ubottu | adben: The only dumb or stupid question is the one not asked. Please do not tell people off for asking something, just because it seems simple or obvious -- we discourage this attitude in all our channels. | 00:17 |
| cbwcjw | No question is stupid :D | 00:17 |
| jals | i'm having k3b issues: when i attempt to rip to mp3 i get a not that helpful error | 00:19 |
| v3trae | brb guys | 00:19 |
| jals | i have all the codecs installed i think | 00:23 |
| v3trae | there we go | 00:23 |
| mefisto__ | jals: what is the error? | 00:23 |
| jals | just says "error encoding track 1" | 00:24 |
| mefisto__ | jals: installed lame ? | 00:25 |
| jals | the lame package in synaptic? yeah | 00:25 |
| jals | anything else i might need? | 00:25 |
| jals | this is my lame command: lame -V1 --vbr-new --tt %t --ta %a --tl %m --ty %y --tc %c - %f | 00:25 |
| cbwcjw | I just got here, and thought you were saying that a certian package was lame. ahaha. | 00:25 |
| cuznt | i have a few lame commands alright | 00:26 |
| cbwcjw | haha | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey guys | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | im playing with kwin for a chuckle | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | with widgets, what are the shortcut keys for? | 00:27 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip1: i hate widgets, so no idea. | 00:27 |
| mike-solidus | are there plans to prot kde-4.2 into the stable 8.10 repo's eventually? | 00:27 |
| mike-solidus | *port | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | v3trae: i'm having a play since i got kde4.2 | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | just bored | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | still gonna use fluxbox after this | 00:28 |
| mefisto__ | jals: do you get the error without the -V1 --vbr-new options? | 00:28 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip1: i hated widgets when they came out for OSX, so i don't bother =D | 00:28 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip1: i dunno i like kde 4.2 quite a bit | 00:28 |
| mike-solidus | also, do you know if the qt guys fixed the bug wth thier aiglx implimentation and the nvidia drivers? | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | v3trae: well i can still use kde and apps, just not kwin | 00:28 |
| jals | mefisto__, i'll give it a go | 00:28 |
| jals | yup still errors | 00:29 |
| Heliodor | Hello | 00:30 |
| cbwcjw | !hi | Heliodor | 00:30 |
| ubottu | Heliodor: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 00:30 |
| Heliodor | how do i unbind the "ALT" function that moves windows? | 00:30 |
| Heliodor | every time i hold ALT and drags something, it moves the window. And i cant find where to unbind this. | 00:31 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: i'm having no problems with the expiramental v 180.22 drivers. | 00:31 |
| mike-solidus | v3trae: did you have problems with the old drivers where the de would freeze on startup 80% of the time? | 00:31 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: i'd get random lock ups pretty much constantly | 00:32 |
| mike-solidus | v3trae: and with old fbo showing up on the first draw of a window? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Heliodor: i know the thing you mean, I'm not sure how to unbind it but its dead useful | 00:32 |
| mike-solidus | v3trae: SWEET, really good news, updating today | 00:32 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: you have to get it from their site, there isn't a package for it | 00:32 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: but its a simple install, just make sure the old drivers are gone first. | 00:32 |
| Heliodor | ActionParsnip1: Cant use photoshop without unbinding it | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Heliodor: i see | 00:33 |
| mike-solidus | v3trae: hmm, im not gonna mess with that then, I've done manual installs of drivers before a couple of times, and for some reason with ubuntu based installs it tends to completly fsk over apt. | 00:33 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: its literally you unload the driver, run the script, it asks you questions, all of which i answered yes to (as a guide told me to) and restart kdm | 00:34 |
| cbwcjw | !botsnack | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 00:34 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: give me a second i'll find you a link to the forum guide i used. | 00:34 |
| jals | this is nuts, i shouldn't have this much issue ripping a cd | 00:34 |
| mike-solidus | big down side to apt i think, its great at handling apt based installs, but if you want to install something yourself, it tends to mess EVERYTHING up. I'd like to see some sort of implementation like gentoo's portage but with binary packages | 00:34 |
| mike-solidus | jals: what type of problems are you having? | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: konqueror has a good cd ripping feature | 00:34 |
| jals | mike-solidus, Grip won't display the track list of the audio cd, k3b gives errors when attempting to rip | 00:35 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993788 follow it to the letter and you shouldn't have any problems, only thing is when it's talking about turning off gdm, swap that for kdm and you shouldn't have any issues. | 00:35 |
| jals | ActionParsnip1, how do i set it up to rip mp3s? | 00:35 |
| mike-solidus | jals: for some stupid reason with kde 4.x it will not see cd drives so you have to use an external program that assumes the cd in the drive is an audio cd. i think i ended up using acidrip | 00:35 |
| jals | i'll give that one a go | 00:35 |
| mike-solidus | jals: its really stupid, i'm guessing they just didn't wanna impliment it yet and thier base system doesnt cover it because technically you cant mount an audio cd | 00:36 |
| jals | what's weird with Grip is that if i insert a cd with Grip open, it briefly displays the tracks then they vanish | 00:36 |
| mike-solidus | v3trae: thanks, i'll go check it out | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/locutus/easy-cd-ripping-with-konqueror-17544 | 00:36 |
| v3trae | mike-solidus: righto, install irssi and come back if you have any problems =) I might not be able to help but someone should =D | 00:37 |
| jals | my old drive was IDE, this one is SATA, i wonder if that's the root of the issues | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | try: apt-cache search cd | grep -i rip | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: all new drives had IDE | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | you mean PATA | 00:37 |
| jals | yeah maybe i do | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ;) | 00:38 |
| cbwcjw | Im pretty sure he means sata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA | 00:38 |
| mike-solidus | jals: could be, but if its happening since an upgrade to kde4 its prolly kde 4's fault, freaked me out the first time i ran into it because i was working on someone elses computer. | 00:38 |
| cbwcjw | PATA was obsoleted by SATA except in industrial | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbwcjw: it has an IDE though (Integrated drive electronic). Old drive were spindles of platters which relied purely on the controller on the motherboard / daughterboard to control it. New drives had IDEs to make controlling them easier and also allows a buffer for data# | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbwcjw: so ALL new drives have an IDE, its a common mistake but seems accepted | 00:40 |
| cbwcjw | Oh well. It doesnt exactly matter :) | 00:40 |
| jals | ActionParsnip1, that link doesn't explain how to enable mp3 ripping | 00:41 |
| jals | just says it'll already be there; it's not | 00:41 |
| jals | ok now it is | 00:41 |
| jals | guess it is since i installed lame | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: In that sidebar you should see a services tab. If not then shoot your distribution and get Kubuntu (shamless plug here). After clicking on the services tab you should see an entry titled "Audio CD Browser". When that is selected you will see several choices like cda, wav, ogg and mp3. These are the formats you can rip off of the CD. It is just a simple matter to select the format you would like (ogg is best and open | 00:41 |
| jals | right but last time i checked i didn't see mp3 under those choices | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbwcjw: just a lil fyi for you :D | 00:42 |
| cobra-the-joker | Kubuntu ROX | 00:42 |

| dan | morning all | 00:44 |
| dan | I am not able to change my theme details.. is this a known issue? | 00:44 |
| cbwcjw | jals: Blame KDE | 00:44 |

| jals | yeah i guess i do | 00:45 |
| jals | perhaps i should consider an alternative DE | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: theres a few to choose from | 00:46 |
| dan | ActionParsnip1: i know *how* to change my theme, and I can get themes.. but when in system settings and changing themes, the "apply" button never becomes "un-disabled" and so i cannot change it | 00:46 |
| jals | i was on xfce before i got my new computer, but i figured hey, it's a bit more powerful i'll go with kde | 00:46 |
| dan | i should say .... "system settings...advanced... theme details" or something like that | 00:47 |
| cbwcjw | jals: I love KDE personally, but it can be frustrating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments | 00:47 |

| jals | i like everything else so far | 00:48 |
| jals | i just want to be able to rip cds | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dan: try loggin in as a new user and see if its identical, it may be a permissions | 00:49 |
| cbwcjw | jals: Try playing an mp3, it should autoinstall the mp3 thing. After that, try ripping | 00:50 |
| jals | it plays them fine | 00:50 |
| jals | amarok is great | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: try gnome | 00:50 |
| jals | i could try gnome | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | or fluxbox | 00:51 |
| jals | any ideas though why i'm having this issue, is it really this impossible for kde to rip a cd? | 00:51 |
| jals | i figure it must be something specific to my setup | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: run the app from a konsole, you will get intelligent outputs | 00:51 |
| jals | ActionParsnip1, yeah i tried that with Grip, googled some of the results, not so helpful | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: k3b is usually decent | 00:52 |
| jals | yeah so i read, i'd be happy to use it if it'd work :( | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: is konqueror not flying?? | 00:53 |
| jals | ActionParsnip1, trying that now actually | 00:53 |
| jals | it is ripping apparently | 00:53 |
| jals | shame there's no dialogue to show the status but maybe it'll do for now | 00:53 |
| jals | ActionParsnip1, scrap that, just tried to play one of the mp3s and it's junk | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: try sudo apt-get install grabcd-rip | 00:54 |

| jals | k i'll give it a go | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | its worth a shot | 00:56 |
| jals | i'm pretty certain it's not my drive, cos i ripped a few tracks in windows using cdex and they seem fine | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info cdex | 00:57 |
| ubottu | Package cdex does not exist in intrepid | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | well cdex is open source so you can compile it | 00:57 |
| jals | or run it in wine | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: aye | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: apparently songbird and soundjuicer can do it too | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jals: gets platinum and silver ratings in appdb | 00:58 |
| jals | might try soundjuicer | 00:59 |

| v3trae | see ya guys | 00:59 |
| jals | i'd love grip to work | 01:01 |
| jals | maybe i'll install gnome and see if things work better there | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | its a nice app | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | you can do it at command line | 01:01 |
| jals | need food first though, brb | 01:02 |

| Sp0tKubuntu | I LOVE Kubuntu! <3 | 02:07 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Nice OS | 02:07 |
| devyn | this very annoying! | 02:08 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | A good idea, dont install the things that are not included in the standard software packages | 02:09 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | If you are new in linux that is | 02:09 |
| devyn | i am not new... its just not working! | 02:09 |
| devyn | error while installing kde-window-manager 4.2.0: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/kconf_update_bin/plasma-add-shortcut-to-menu', which is also in package kdebase-workspace-bin | 02:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Or be prepared for alot of reading/toogling forums for answers | 02:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Saw it before, no need to repeat, try to help you understand 4.2 is not finished afair | 02:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Therefore, dont get it before it's ninished, or be prepared for trouble :-) | 02:11 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | finished* | 02:11 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Try se the kde-bug.org reports | 02:12 |
| devyn | kde-bug.org doesn't exist? | 02:17 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Maybe i typed it wrong then, i was there for not so long ago | 02:19 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | https://bugs.kde.org/ | 02:19 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | There u go, google is your friend | 02:19 |
| devyn | i just checked there! | 02:20 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Well, thats all the help I can support, did'nt promise it would solve your problems | 02:20 |
| devyn | it seems i've found something here --> ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6653398 | 02:20 |

| Sp0tKubuntu | Dosent it create a bugreport by default? (Im new in linux) | 02:21 |
| stdin | replacing i386 with amd64 if you have a 64bit installation | 02:21 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Just corious, is the 64 bit version not for Intel? | 02:23 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | u* | 02:24 |
| stdin | Sp0tKubuntu: the amd64 architecture runs in all AMD and Intel 64 bit chips | 02:24 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | stdin: Ok, thanks | 02:26 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Where do i see if my processor supports 64bit? | 02:26 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | It's an Intel Core Duo 2 T250 laptop | 02:26 |
| devyn | stdio: okay, now on dist-upgrade, hope this works! | 02:28 |
| devyn | *stdin | 02:29 |
| stdin | Sp0tKubuntu: if it's a Duo it's probably 64bit | 02:29 |
| devyn | stdin: yeah, probably... | 02:29 |
| devyn | stdin: most Duo's are | 02:29 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Dunno? | 02:29 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Is it? | 02:29 |
| devyn | what kind of computer? | 02:29 |
| stdin | if you want to be sure, look at the spec on intel.com | 02:29 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Laptop, MSI PR 200 | 02:29 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Ok, i try | 02:30 |
| devyn | If you can, 64-bit is waaay faster. (and more powerful) | 02:30 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Thats why i ask :-) | 02:31 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | This i my laptop, but not same processor, my processor is T250, not T300 | 02:32 |

| EagleScreen | Sp0tKubuntu try to boot Kubuntu amd64, if you can, you have a 64 bit processor if not, you have 32 bit. | 02:33 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Thansk! Easy solution! :-D | 02:34 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Thanks* | 02:34 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Downloading! :-) | 02:35 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Is it much different from 32 bit? Guess its much more performance, specially using multicore? | 02:36 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | When i look under drivers for my laptop, there is drivers for both, windows 32/64bit, so i guess its a 64 bit processor i got! Nice! | 02:41 |
| EagleScreen | surely you have a 64 bit processor | 02:42 |
| EagleScreen | software is less meture for 64 bits than for 32 bits | 02:42 |
| EagleScreen | you will find applications that work for 32 bits but not for 64 | 02:43 |
| EagleScreen | and all 64 bit applications waste more RAM than 32 bits | 02:44 |
| EagleScreen | but with a 64 bit system your processor can work around 30% faster | 02:44 |
| Zorix | 64 bit systems can address more ram than 32 bit | 02:44 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Less meture? My english is not so good :-) | 02:48 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Guest32380 | ||
| EagleScreen | less mature, sorry | 02:48 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Thats ok, mature meaning? | 02:49 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: :-D | 02:49 |
| EagleScreen | translate it in the internet | 02:49 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Ok | 02:49 |
| EagleScreen | there are more applications for 32 than for 64 | 02:50 |
| EagleScreen | and there are many applications for 32 that work better than for 64 | 02:50 |
| EagleScreen | many 64 bit applications needs to use wrappers and run 32 bit libraries | 02:51 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: That means it's not recommended? | 02:52 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Or it's up to what the single user use the pc for | 02:53 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | I guess | 02:53 |
| EagleScreen | the only advantage of a 64 bit distribution is that your processor will can work around 30% faster | 02:53 |
| EagleScreen | I use 64 bit, but there are some programs that i cannot run by this | 02:54 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Ok, i dont run so much on my laptop, but i run some | 02:54 |
| EagleScreen | for instance a video game created by Argentina which is only for 32 bits | 02:55 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Mail, web, torrent, burning, ripping, notes, music, stuff like that actually | 02:55 |
| EagleScreen | I'd wait one year to use 64 bits distributions | 02:56 |
| Zorix | too much misinformation about 64 bit | 02:56 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Then i wait :-) Im not so into linux yet, so i learn a little meanwhile, i hope, lol | 02:56 |
| Zorix | there is no issue with running 32 bit apps in linux | 02:57 |
| Zorix | 64 bit | 02:57 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Another thing, where on the ubuntu / kubuntu sites can i see when the next stable release will come? :-) | 02:57 |
| Zorix | april | 02:57 |
| Zorix | check the wiki | 02:58 |
| EagleScreen | Ubuntu is always released at the same dates | 02:58 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Zorix: Dont confuse me now :-D No problems i apps for linux in 64bit? | 02:58 |
| Zorix | april and october | 02:58 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | 2 times a year i see | 02:58 |
| Zorix | 32 bit apps will work in 64 bit installations | 02:58 |
| EagleScreen | one in October and one in April | 02:58 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Ahh, that way around | 02:59 |
| Zorix | this is 2009, not 1999.. no reason to run a 32 bit os on a 64 bit box | 02:59 |
| === david is now known as Guest28464 | ||
| Sp0tKubuntu | All in all, i can install 64 bit system, and run 64 bit apps, AND 32 bit without problems? | 03:00 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | I got the point in using the system power there is, no need to waste good performance :-) | 03:01 |
| EagleScreen | in theory, you can run 32 bits applications in 64 bit systems, but not without problems | 03:01 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Maybe in a year or so you say? | 03:02 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | When its made more stable | 03:02 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Think i will try, just for fun | 03:02 |
| EagleScreen | I hope for in one year some things as plugins to be more mature for 64 bits | 03:03 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | I made a / and a /home and a swap when making the partition on my system, can i then reinstall / without messing /home up? It's 2 partitions | 03:03 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Now i think i know what mature is | 03:03 |
| EagleScreen | yes you can | 03:03 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: Nice, and home stores all my settings and installed apps and cfg for them? | 03:04 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | When i use show hidden files, theres alot of things in there i did'nt put there myself | 03:04 |
| EagleScreen | #/home stores all your settings (settings which not require root privileges) | 03:06 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Hmm, when the things i have installed now is from a 32 bit system, can it work together when i reinstall /, will home be lost? | 03:06 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Ok | 03:06 |
| Zorix | there is no problems with 32 bit apps | 03:06 |
| Zorix | on 64 bit | 03:06 |
| Zorix | i have zero issues | 03:06 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | But i can set root previleges if i want right? | 03:07 |
| Zorix | its linux you can do whatever you want | 03:07 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | :-D | 03:07 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Im used to windows | 03:07 |
| EagleScreen | all configurations for your user are saved in /home | 03:07 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Only reason to run windows now, is for gaming! Or is linux game-compatible? | 03:08 |
| EagleScreen | but system configurations that require root password or sudo are saved in /etc | 03:08 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | EagleScreen: And etc is a part of root i my case? | 03:08 |
| EagleScreen | there are many game which only run well in Windows, i also have it for games | 03:08 |
| EagleScreen | etc is inside / (root) | 03:09 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Me 2, playing L4D :-) NICE game! .-) | 03:09 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Yeah, actually //root? | 03:09 |
| EagleScreen | you will have to install all your packages again, but thair configuration will be keept | 03:09 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | because thers a "root" folder in / | 03:09 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Nice! :-) | 03:10 |
| EagleScreen | there are three roots lol | 03:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | What is the name of the developer of linux? Some finnish guy right? | 03:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | 3?? | 03:10 |
| EagleScreen | the partiion where the system is installed is one, the root partition, represented as / | 03:10 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Hmm, not sure i understand comepletely | 03:11 |
| EagleScreen | the root user is the second, a user with permisions to do everything | 03:11 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | completely* | 03:11 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Ahh, its a user, simply? | 03:12 |
| EagleScreen | and the /root folder is the third, the personal folder for thr root user, is equivalento to your /home/your_name | 03:12 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Thats the one i have for my stuff? | 03:13 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Third one | 03:13 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Is it not good to be on root user all time? | 03:14 |
| Sp0tKubuntu | Maybe make 2 users default | 03:14 |

| corigo3 | In 4.2 is there a standard hot key, or way to set a hot key to reduce all open windows and show the desktop? The 4.1 widget I used to use doesn't work in 4.2 | 03:27 |
| JontheEchidna | corigo3: Add a "show desktop" widget to your panel or desktop, then right click on the widget and select "configure" | 03:31 |
| JontheEchidna | you should be able to set a shortcut from there | 03:31 |
| JontheEchidna | oh, what do you mean by the old one "not working"? | 03:32 |
| JontheEchidna | when you add it does it complain that the widget can't be created? | 03:32 |
| corigo3 | When I add the Showdesktop Widget it displays as a big red X and says it is an Unknown widget | 03:34 |
| corigo3 | That's what I mean by not working | 03:34 |
| JontheEchidna | that's what I thought | 03:34 |
| JontheEchidna | most likely kdeplasma-addons didn't get upgraded | 03:34 |
| JontheEchidna | do a sudo apt-get install kdeplasma-addons | 03:35 |
| corigo3 | JontheEchidna: that worked. Thanks | 03:41 |
| JontheEchidna | yup, no problem | 03:41 |
| JontheEchidna | it didn't get upgraded because upgrading would remove a library package and replace it with a newer version | 03:41 |
| corigo3 | What about resizing a Desktop folder widget? | 03:50 |
| corigo3 | What about resizing a Desktop folder widget? | 03:52 |
| corigo3 | sorry | 03:52 |
| JontheEchidna | corigo3: as long as the widgets are unlocked, you should get a bar when you hover over the folder view widget | 03:52 |
| JontheEchidna | the top icon on the bar is a resize button | 03:52 |
| corigo3 | domo hari gato or something like that | 03:53 |

| nikoJ | hey hey.. After install, I get a blank screen on boot with a periodic beep from the pc-speaker.. how does one fix that? | 03:58 |
| nikoJ | it beeps roughly every 30 seconds | 03:58 |
| dewman | maybe x didnt start correctly nikoj? | 03:59 |
| nikoJ | honestly, I don't know.. the screen was completly blank.. | 03:59 |
| nikoJ | when i ctrl-alt-delete it did reboot | 03:59 |
| nikoJ | but there was 0 text on the screen until the mahcine rebooted | 04:00 |
| nikoJ | nothing at all | 04:00 |
| dewman | I think there is a key combo that you can do like alt f1 or altf2 or something that will bring up a terminal during boot | 04:00 |
| nikoJ | yep i tried that | 04:00 |
| nikoJ | nothing | 04:00 |
| dewman | hmm. | 04:00 |
| nikoJ | i'm using a very common video card | 04:01 |
| nikoJ | so it shouldn't be a problem with that | 04:01 |
| dewman | do you even get the ubunutu spash screen? | 04:01 |
| nikoJ | I don't recall seeing one, but I can't say I was paying that close attention | 04:01 |
| nikoJ | if you wish i can retry and come back | 04:01 |
| dewman | you would see it...You can miss it...big and orange. | 04:02 |
| dewman | cant | 04:02 |
| nikoJ | nod. | 04:02 |
| nikoJ | right now i'm in the failsafe mode from the grub menu.. so that worked fine | 04:02 |
| dewman | my ati card did something like that but only after i installed the restricted drivers. I had to modify a few lines in order to get it to work | 04:03 |
| nikoJ | *shrug* I'm using a 8800 .. it should work with default vesa drivers | 04:04 |
| dewman | it was trying to force a larger display to my monitor.. | 04:04 |
| nikoJ | I *am* using a dual monitor display.. but at worst it should just garble the 2nd screen | 04:04 |
| nikoJ | or display notihng on it | 04:04 |
| nikoJ | but this.. is pretty strange | 04:05 |
| dewman | what does your xorg.conf file show? | 04:05 |
| nikoJ | hrm I can't get a 2nd terminal.. I'm in the debug mode atm.. I'll check it and come back | 04:06 |

| v3trae | tobor: danka | 04:31 |
| thomas__ | what is a good place to ask about java? | 04:31 |
| tobor | thomas__: #java? | 04:31 |
| thomas__ | it seems to require a pass (?) | 04:32 |
| tobor | owch | 04:32 |
| v3trae | tobor: lol no, sorry, i didn't word it right. it's like fdisk -l and it shows all the /dev/sdxx | 04:32 |
| dewman | v3trae you can drop to a terminal and type df -h | 04:32 |
| tboxmy | mindar: check u installed unrar | 04:32 |
| v3trae | tobor: someone said it yesterday and i can't remember what it was for the life of me | 04:32 |
| demolition | bazhang | 04:32 |
| v3trae | dewman: i have 4 drives, i'm trying to figure out which /dev/ the windows drive is. | 04:32 |
| tobor | v3trae: sounds like fdisk -l /dev/sda :) | 04:33 |
| tobor | followed by sdb sdc sdd | 04:33 |
| dewman | man fdisk =) | 04:33 |
| v3trae | tobor: but you didn't have to specify, you just hit it and it would list all the /dev/'s that had partition tables on them | 04:33 |
| mindar | <tboxmy> yep.. Im installed. But arhives is "empty" when I open it... | 04:33 |
| tboxmy | maybe not a rar file? | 04:34 |
| tboxmy | at prompt type | 04:34 |
| ubunturos | /join ##java | 04:34 |
| mindar | its a rar((( | 04:34 |

| tobor | hi all, just upgraded from Dapper to Heron, Noticed the "X" server is now taking 110 MB to run when previously it was at 655K. Any ideas why the large increase? | 04:38 |
| Gun_Smoke | tobor: you can look at a few things to see what's eating it.. top, sytem monitor | 04:39 |
| tobor | Gun_Smoke: I did. Its X. | 04:39 |
| szrhawaii | what up kde people | 04:39 |
| Gun_Smoke | tobor: do you have any desktop effects enabled? | 04:40 |
| tboxmy | tobor: my upgrade, failed to allow the desktop effects to start anymore | 04:40 |
| tobor | Gun_Smoke: Unknown , just did the install, haven't played with it yet. | 04:40 |
| Gun_Smoke | but I really think that 655K is pretty darn slim for even xfce | 04:40 |
| tobor | Gun_Smoke: I typically turn that stuff off. | 04:40 |
| tboxmy | err...yah its 1.2 for KDE4.2 | 04:41 |
| tobor | Gun_Smoke: quite possibly, but even If i am off by a zero (65 MB) thats still a 50 Mb increase. On the same version of X | 04:41 |
| tobor | tboxmy: 1.2 MB for KDE 4.2? | 04:42 |
| tboxmy | Gun_Smoke: its Dolphin 1.2 for KDE4.2 | 04:42 |
| Gun_Smoke | tobor: yeah well 50M for over 2 years worth of upgrades seems approiate.. | 04:42 |
| tboxmy | Gun_Smoke: from PPA | 04:42 |
| Gun_Smoke | tboxmy: right.. thanks.. Guess I'll just have to wait it out.. | 04:43 |
| tobor | Gun_Smoke: Not when that is a a 40% increase in size. | 04:43 |
| TraceRoute | how does having gnome-desktop in kde4.2 come along together? is there still a problem with gdm/kdm conflict? | 04:43 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emacs pakages | 05:33 |

| DaSkreech | !info emacs | 05:33 |
| ubottu | emacs (source: emacs22): The GNU Emacs editor (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 22.2-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 6 kB, installed size 36 kB | 05:33 |
| ibeekman | is there any handy way to install emacs packages or just the standard/manual old school way? | 05:34 |
| DaSkreech | What is emacs-package ? | 05:35 |
| ibeekman | dunno I was just seeing if ubottu had any insight into installing emacs packages | 05:36 |
| Spinshank | hey guys with compiz it saying a 255 desktobs when i only have 20 running | 05:39 |
| Spinshank | 225* | 05:39 |
| Gun_Smoke | emacs is packaged.. ibeekman, aptitude search emacs will list them all for you | 05:39 |

| === DEb is now known as Deb | ||
| === Deb is now known as Guest68908 | ||
| ibeekman | ok well that list is fairly limited, so i guess the answer is no. I am trying to figure out the best way to keep my workstation emacs settings/environment synchronized with my home emacs | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | rsync ? | 05:44 |
| Gun_Smoke | that's how I'd do it. | 05:44 |
| ibeekman | so there are a few . (dot) files like .emacs etc. but then there are .el packages which are byte compiled right? So i could rsync it then re-byte compile all the .el packages | 05:46 |
| ibeekman | i think... | 05:46 |

| faileas | it keeps them unlabeled i think >< | 05:57 |
| DaSkreech | faileas: you found them? | 05:57 |
| faileas | sort of | 05:57 |
| DaSkreech | Throw one in a text editor it should give you some info about it | 05:57 |
| faileas | it keeps them as files called torrent in folders called tor0 tor1 and so on | 05:58 |
| faileas | its a dumb way to do it IMO ;p | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | faileas: patches accepted :) | 05:58 |
| faileas | eheh | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | It's probably an easy way to make sure they don't have two conflicting torrent files | 05:58 |
| faileas | ya | 05:58 |
| * faileas got them loaded on utorrent for now | 05:59 | |
| faileas | until i'm done with what i need to do on my XP system | 05:59 |
| faileas | thanks :) | 06:00 |
| DaSkreech | Sure | 06:03 |

| DaSkreech | Kget has torrent support as well | 06:05 |
| DaSkreech | I hear | 06:05 |

| binskipy2u | never ever ever ever had to do that before | 06:26 |
| caustin | you have to unmount it before you can delete it. | 06:26 |
| binskipy2u | could always su , then konqueror, then rightclick and delete | 06:26 |
| DaSkreech | cause you didn't delete a mounted dir I'll guess | 06:27 |
| binskipy2u | its the same hd? how could it be mounted? i'm lost never had this issue before | 06:27 |

| ActionParsnip2 | yo yo yo | 09:02 |

| nunuri | dist-upgrade without kde4 possible | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: intrepid comes kith 4.1 | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip2 | so if you jump from hardy to intrepid you are going to get it | 09:04 |
| nunuri | *sign* | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip2 | you could always compile kde3.5 | 09:04 |
| nunuri | ActionParsnip2: yes i would go for 4.2 but not 4.1 | 09:05 |
| Guest99466 | imo, stick with hardy | 09:05 |
| Guest99466 | 4.2 runs great on intrepid | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: thats fine, install it once you jump to intrepid | 09:05 |
| Guest99466 | but be prepared to (potentially) waste some times getting your gpu playing nice with all the glitz | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: if you are happy with 3.5 then keep it. Jaunty will have kde4.2 but hardy is supported for a long time yet | 09:06 |

| ubottu | nunuri: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:11 |

| zgmf-x20a | ActionParsnip2: ok, thnx for the help. anypne else have any ideas? | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: are you on kernel 2.6.27 or later? | 09:14 |

| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: according to that dude the 2.6.27 makes it work out of the box | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: i think he recompiled alsa too | 09:18 |
| nunuri | ok so i do apt-get install linux-image 27? | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: if its available for your release, i'm not sure, try apt-cache search linux-image | 09:19 |
| nunuri | nop 24.23 is the latest in hardy ... | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: then looks like you need intrepid | 09:21 |
| nunuri | grr so i have to go to 8.10 :( | 09:21 |
| nunuri | well if i can get 4.2 running (kde) ... | 09:21 |
| dev_ | Hi................ | 09:21 |
| kkrohn | Kubuntu rocks. With KDE 4.2, that is. :) Now that I have said that, I can't get the second monitor to work. | 09:22 |
| kkrohn | Anyone with any experience in this? :) | 09:22 |
| nunuri | thanks for your help ActionParsnip2 | 09:23 |
| kkrohn | ATI control centre sees two monitors, and it seems that X activates it, but KDM just don't want to know about it. | 09:23 |
| kkrohn | When I move my mouse over to the second monitor, it becomes an X. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: i'd research more but from that review its needed | 09:24 |
| zgmf-x20a | trying to setup gmail type accounts on kmail, cant get sending to happen though, keep getting this error: Transport 'Unnamed' is invalid. | 09:25 |
| nunuri | yes i read that before ActionParsnip2 i was hoping there would be a way around ... i tested debian live cd with kde4.2 rcSomething and i was suprised so i might try ... | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: if you boot to live intrepid cd desktop you can test | 09:26 |
| nunuri | ActionParsnip2: i had done that when it came out ... didn;t like kde4.1 and choose not to dist-upgrade from hardy ... but now i will have to give it a try :) | 09:28 |
| kkrohn | by the way, does anybody know if the new ATI driver 9.1 will be upgraded by the maintainers for 8.10? | 09:28 |
| kkrohn | or rather the ATI driver will be upgraded to 9.1, I suppose. | 09:29 |
| nunuri | is there something like apt-get install -t experimental like in debian for kubuntu and if what would be the entry for /etc/apt/sourceslist ? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: i can see why too, try a live session with the new kernel to test, then if it works I guess you gotta move | 09:33 |
| nunuri | ActionParsnip2: i am on dail up and would have to download the iso again ... i rather take the risk and get 300 mb form the dist-upgrade :) | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip2 | youor call, could always pull it down at your school / college / workplace and use it that way | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: or find a buddy who will pull it down for you | 09:35 |
| nunuri | ActionParsnip2: my workplace :) i am an underwater videographer on a 21km2 island close to papua new genua :) | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: i work from home, its killer | 09:39 |
| nunuri | well i have 10 month summer :) | 09:39 |
| nunuri | but also 300 mb in 8h :( | 09:41 |
| zgmf-x20a | hey all, how do i cd into a file folder? | 09:48 |
| kkrohn | not sure what you mean zgmf | 09:49 |
| zgmf-x20a | $ cd /xxx or $ cd/ xxx ????? | 09:49 |
| zgmf-x20a | trying to install somwthing here, and from terminal i have to get in to the folder | 09:49 |
| zgmf-x20a | i wish someone made a magic program that made all tars .dev files.. hahaha | 09:50 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: so for instance, im at the prompt, how do i access a folder in my home folder from terminal??? | 09:51 |
| kkrohn | if you do "cd /something" then this is from the root. An absolute location. | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zgmf-x20a: cd <folder name> | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zgmf-x20a: to go back a folder use: cd .. | 09:52 |
| kkrohn | first "cd ~" | 09:52 |
| kkrohn | that takes you to your home-folder. | 09:52 |
| kkrohn | And from there go to the sub-folder you want, but without the first "/". | 09:52 |
| kkrohn | For example "cd Pictures". | 09:52 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: hmm tried that but i cant access it... i put this exactly: :~$ cd /evolution-rss-0.1.2 | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zgmf-x20a: linux is hugely CAsE senSItive so you cant just throw in a capital if you feel it takes your fancy | 09:54 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip2 | zgmf-x20a: you can also tab complete filenames after you type the first letter or so | 09:54 |
| kkrohn | remember that while typing "cd something" you can press two times on the tab-key, and it will show you the possible options. | 09:54 |
| vlt | Hello. Yesterday I asked here whether KDE 4.2 is available in 8.10. The asnwer was yes. Now I installed Kubuntu but apt show me only KDE 4.1 packages. Any idea why? | 09:54 |
| kkrohn | vlt: because it is still in dev-repositories, and not in the official ones, from what I can tell. | 09:55 |
| nunuri | read the topic vlt | 09:55 |
| kkrohn | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 tells you how to install 4.2 on 8.10 | 09:56 |
| vlt | nunuri: Thank you. | 09:56 |
| nunuri | vlt: :) | 09:56 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: ok, maybe i should just start from the beggining. ok, im trying to install a tar file. extracted it to my home folder. now how would i go about accessing that from terminal? | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | vlt: add this repo: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | vlt: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:56 |
| kkrohn | Ok. so you have the terminal open then? | 09:56 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: yes open right now | 09:57 |
| kkrohn | type "pwd" and tell me what it says. | 09:57 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: home/zgmf-x20a | 09:57 |
| kkrohn | okay. and if you do an ls -l do you see your unpacked files there? | 09:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | ls- l | 09:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol oops | 09:58 |
| kkrohn | ls (space) -l | 09:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: yup its there, and highlighted in green for some reason | 09:59 |
| kkrohn | the tar file is there, or the unpacked files from the tar file? | 09:59 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: unpacked, in a folder | 10:00 |
| kkrohn | ah, ok. and you want to cd into this folder. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip2 | kkrohn: doing well man | 10:00 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: yes, and then follow the help file thing to configure and all that | 10:00 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: i know where that is though, i just need to get in | 10:01 |
| kkrohn | :) | 10:01 |
| kkrohn | ok. and if you just simply type "cd (space) directory-name" does this take you there? | 10:02 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: ooooooo....... yes it did...... i thought there had to be a slash in there?? ugh..... lol | 10:02 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: sweet, thanks man! if any issues, i might be back, lol | 10:03 |

| etfb | How do I set the Windows workgroup for my (Kubuntu Intrepid / KDE 4.2) laptop, so it shows up on my houses's pseudo-network? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: if its for samba shares, its in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 10:10 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: Still? Isn't there a UI for that yet? | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: its all i know, I think if you right click folders you can share them there but im rarely off the console | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/getting-ubuntu-to-join-a-workgroup/29222.html | 10:11 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: I'm quite comfortable using the console, but it seems a remarkable omission. | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: looks like: sudo net join -w WORKGROUP works too, not used it personally | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: in dolphin and the like there is a UI (I think) but i dont use them so I couldnt comment | 10:12 |
| etfb | Tried net join; it gives an error ("cannot join as standalone machine") so I'll try the other. | 10:13 |
| etfb | Bah! "See 'net join' for this functionality" | 10:14 |
| altrortla | !acer | 10:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acer | 10:14 |
| nunuri | lol | 10:14 |
| nunuri | !pizza | 10:15 |
| altrortla | azz | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pizza | 10:15 |
| etfb | Someone should program ubottu to respond to !acer with "Acers are shite. Buy something better." | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !coffee | 10:15 |
| ubottu | coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering hot water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java | 10:15 |
| altrortla | i know | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: i couldve told you that | 10:15 |
| altrortla | i'm looking for support | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: they used to be worse and users had to compile acer_hk for pretty much anything to work | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !ask | altrortla | 10:15 |
| ubottu | altrortla: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 10:16 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: If you'd magically appeared to me a week and a half ago as I was about to buy an Acer, that would have been helpful. | 10:16 |
| nunuri | altrortla: ask your question | 10:16 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: Luckily, I got a refund (all but $100; I took pity on them having to reload Windoze) and bought a Toshiba. | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: its still under warranty then, tell them its not fit for purpose | 10:16 |
| altrortla | what question?.... acer warranty is impossible to got... several excuse ... pay calling ... send message ... but no real support | 10:17 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: I did. But the economy is dreadful and they were genuinely stuck cos Acer would never take the thing back. So I was kind. | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: i buy ibm or dell, ibm loves linux | 10:17 |
| etfb | altrortla: I seriously advise you to reinstall Windows, make the machine look as respectable as possible, sell it and buy Toshiba/Lenovo/IBM. | 10:18 |
| altrortla | ok | 10:18 |
| altrortla | but is no the solution now | 10:18 |
| nunuri | what is the problem altrortla | 10:18 |
| altrortla | i have a notebook with two line of pixel burned | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip2 | altrortla: its not an ubuntu question, youor system and warranty will have a policy on dead pixels | 10:19 |
| altrortla | infact | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip2 | altrortla: like quantity and density | 10:19 |
| altrortla | i have asked !acer | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip2 | i'd read your papers that you got with the unit very very carefully | 10:20 |
| * nunuri wants a netbook with 12h power, 10" minimum, 2gb ram, dual atom and 160gb | 10:20 | |
| altrortla | yes but there's several question that do not belong to this forum | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: you probably wont get 12h with 2Gb ram | 10:20 |
| zgmf-x20a | kkrohn: hey,,,,,,, so i got to the last part.... make install.... and came up with all these permission denieds........ how can i get around this?? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: ram takes a fair whack of power | 10:21 |
| zgmf-x20a | also.... .deb files should be made the only legal standard.... hahaha | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: and its a netbook, you dont need masses of ram | 10:21 |
| nunuri | hopefully with the next generation of netbooks :) | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip2 | next gen will hopefully have magnetic ram | 10:22 |
| nunuri | well i would settle for 1gb also but ... | 10:22 |
| nunuri | that would give me the freedom to run xp in a virtualbox :) | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip2 | on a netbook, you'd need cpu power | 10:23 |
| altrortla | ActionParsnip2: there's a forum for acer support? | 10:23 |
| kkrohn | zgmf: usually youhave to be root when installing. Try to put "sudo (space)" before your make command. | 10:23 |
| Heliodor | KDE 4.2 have crashed 3 times now at random times. When i have many windows open. It does not remember window positions and sizes of dialogs for saving files. | 10:23 |

| etfb | Shouldn't it be possible to open a video in Kaffeine that's stored on a Samba shared drive? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: very possible | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: as long as you have read access to the share then yes | 10:26 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: When I open it, Kaffeine attempts to load a codec (which it already has) and then does nothing. | 10:26 |
| Heliodor | And now there was another crash | 10:26 |
| etfb | I can copy the same file to the local machine and open it, but it won't work when it's on the remote drive. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: Can you open image files / text files on the share? | 10:27 |
| Spinshank | im still having truble installing flash 10 for 64 bit | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: i had to do that and then copy the .so file from www.adobe.com into ~/.mozilla/plugins | 10:28 |
| Spinshank | put that in koncole | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: yes | 10:28 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: When I open a .zip file with Ark, it copies it to /tmp and then opens it. | 10:28 |
| Spinshank | i want 2 do it for opera but | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: same deal, just ~/.opera | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-flash-working-in-opera-920.html | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: that tells you where the .so goes: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Spinshank: works every time | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: does your linux system have the codecs to play the file you are opening? | 10:31 |
| zgmf-x20a | ok..... so anyone out there using evolution rss feeder plugin? | 10:31 |
| * nunuri thinks there should be a video tutorial on how to google :) | 10:31 | |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: Yep - as I said, if I copy it locally it opens. | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: if you type oogle into google it breaks the internet | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: can you play them with a different player? | 10:31 |
| etfb | Also: tried to open an RTF file remotely; OpenOffice launched and then shut down. | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: try dragon, mplayer, vlc | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: hmm, ok, run openoffice from terminal 9but don't use &) | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: then try open the file, when it crashes, the konsole will have some info you can use | 10:32 |
| etfb | No dice. Can't open with Dragon either. | 10:33 |
| etfb | OK, will try from konsole. | 10:33 |

| etfb | ActionParsnip2: No error messages; it just refuses to open the file. Tried kaffeine smb:/MACHINE/PATH/TO/FILE.mpg and no luck. | 10:35 |
| zgmf-x20a | ahhhhhhhhhh nvm, i see now, tech error. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: i dunno if kaffeine can open over stuff like that, you could try mounting with smbmount so it appearas as a local folder | 10:37 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: That's what I needed to know! Thanks! | 10:37 |
| * etfb wonders if the Samba devs have heard about the new trend in computer software called the GUI yet... | 10:38 | |
| etfb | Hmmm... smbfs package not yet installed... that could be a sign... | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: looks like you are down the right avenue | 10:39 |
| * nunuri thinks it is quite nice that i can browse windows boxes on the network at all ... gui or cli | 10:39 | |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: the gu is a gui to the command line essentially | 10:39 |
| * etfb agrees entirely, but is always aware that his non-computer-literate family are on Ubuntu too... | 10:39 | |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: you can do pretty much all the stuff you do in gui at command line | 10:40 |
| nunuri | just saying i am happy that it works at all | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip2 | oh lots :D | 10:40 |
| etfb | Don't be so sure that it does work! | 10:42 |

| nunuri | ok i have one ... why does $ sudo echo "some.deb" >> /etc/apt/sources.list not work but if you do the same thing witout sudo from sudo bash # it works | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: # is the root prompt | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: $ is user prompt | 10:49 |
| nunuri | yes ActionParsnip2 i know | 10:49 |
| etfb | nunuri: Weird. I have seen lines in the past like sudo foo | sudo bar | sudo baz, so maybe the sudo only applies to the echo and not to the implied "cat" as part of the >> | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: so if you see # you dont need to use sudo, but the root account shouldnt be activated for security | 10:49 |
| etfb | ActionParsnip2: nunuri was asking why sudo echo foo >> bar.txt doesn't work, ie why the sudo didn't give him/her access to the protected bar.txt file | 10:50 |
| nunuri | sudo returns no permission | 10:50 |
| nunuri | yes | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip2 | etfb: gotcha | 10:50 |

| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ct529: easier to restore from backup | 10:56 |
| nunuri | ct529: move to trash ... and delete are to differtent things | 10:57 |
| ct529 | well, if I had a backup of that particular file I would not ask .... the point is it was deleted by mistake whilst launch a backup .... | 10:57 |
| ct529 | nunuri: yes, I know | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ct529: you could use foremost on the partition from live cd maybe | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ct529: but you will need a place to dump the data on then to rifle through to find what you want | 10:58 |
| ct529 | what about using it from another partition | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ct529: as long as the other partition is bootable, sure | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip2 | ct529: you need the partition you are going to be recovering from to be unmounted | 11:00 |
| ct529 | yes .... as usual .... :( | 11:00 |
| ct529 | oooops! It does not allow the odt file type .... :( | 11:01 |
| ct529 | It is very hard becaus eit is ext3 partition | 11:06 |
| gaahl_ | Hello, could someone please tell me where can I find the update menu for Kubuntu? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | gaahl_: do you mean to upgrade from hardy to intrepid, or just to install updates for your current release? | 11:09 |
| nunuri | alt + f2 -> synaptic gaahl_ or apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip2 | gaahl_: for a system update but stay on the current release; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:10 |

| nunuri | i do only need the linux-image and linux-header to compile a new kernel or? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip2 | you'd need the source | 11:16 |
| nunuri | sources !! thanks i knew something is missing | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip2 | source code is compiled | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !kernel | 11:18 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 11:18 |
| nunuri | i have repalced all the hardy inirid and done a apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and now i install the 27 kernel ... that should leave me with kde3 on a 27 kernel ... *hopes* | 11:19 |
| nunuri | dist-upgrade wants to pull in all the kde4 things ... | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: you can check | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: man apt-get will give switches, one should be like a 'what if' | 11:21 |
| nunuri | testrun ? sounds good | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip2 | yeah, it'll simiulate what would happen but not do it | 11:23 |
| nunuri | good call | 11:23 |
| * nunuri dreams of all the things i could do with a "normal 16mb" internet connection ... i would break a lot of things i guess and than repair them again :) | 11:24 | |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: your upstream is probably quite slow | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip2 | nunuri: so servers are quite slow to upload if you run say an ftp server / http server | 11:25 |
| nunuri | slow is the word ... :) but eveything looks good so far ... new kernel compiled and no kde4 things ... so i guess i have to reboot to see if everything is ok ... | 11:27 |
| khalidmian | hi i tried using sudo apt-get install sun-java but it says there no package | 11:29 |

| ct529 | jussi01: no, it is a small classification software | 12:56 |

| JuJuBee | How do I downgrade xorg ? I have a problem with fglrx and current release. Online suggests to downgrade. | 15:37 |
| JuJuBee | Also, can I test out multiple desktops using a liveCD? | 15:41 |
| jmulloy | Can anyone recommend some resources for a IT department that will be changing over a school district from a mac platform to Kubuntu? | 15:55 |
| Tm_T | !ltsp | jmulloy | 15:56 |
| ubottu | jmulloy: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 15:56 |
| Tm_T | for starters, I guess | 15:56 |
| jmulloy | We are implementing LTSP in one of our libraries for thin clients but we are also acquiring 100+ laptops ... we need them to authenticate to MAC OSX servers, mount their home directory, and we also need to lock down the desktop somehow. | 15:58 |
| Tm_T | jmulloy: perhaps kiosktool could be good for that too then | 15:59 |
| eagles0513875 | jmulloy: to mount a home directory on linux you would need nfs | 15:59 |
| === gepeus is now known as Thor | ||
| jmulloy | I have read about KIOSK but I am not sure it still applies to KDE4 and specifically plasma... | 15:59 |
| jmulloy | Do you know if kiosktool is still effective on KDE4? | 16:00 |
| Tm_T | jmulloy: AFAIK yes, though still using qt3 or something | 16:02 |
| jmulloy | Hrm, I must be doing something wrong then... | 16:02 |
| Tm_T | I might be wrong here, wouldn't be first time | 16:03 |
| jmulloy | I have tried to use it on my son's computer ... he is 2 and manages to do things to the desktop I never imagined. | 16:03 |
| Tm_T | maybe he's too young to do computers, who knows (;) | 16:03 |
| eagles0513875 | jmulloy: might have a next genious on ur hands there | 16:04 |
| eagles0513875 | lol what kinda stuff does he do | 16:04 |
| jmulloy | He really like gcompris and tuxpaint ... but I figure he is a good test for what teenagers might try to do :) | 16:04 |
| eagles0513875 | lol true | 16:04 |
| * Tm_T wonders if #kubuntu-offtopic could be better for this chatter | 16:05 | |
| jmulloy | He opens up all sorts of plasmoids, loads up music on amarok, the best thing is when he completely cleared the desktop ... no taskbars or anything. | 16:05 |
| jmulloy | So even though I really love the look and feel of KDE4 should I probably stick with KDE3 since it seems kiosktool definately works for the? | 16:07 |
| junkY_work | hey, i have a problem with kubuntu on a laptop. when the system boots X trys to start but drops to console, some seconds later it starts and shows kdm, everything normal | 16:07 |
| junkY_work | but when i login to kde the login sound interrupts after about 1 second. the rest seems stable | 16:08 |
| jmulloy | That happens on my system too ... didn't think much of it. | 16:09 |
| junkY_work | jmulloy: the sound problem or the 2x X start? | 16:09 |
| jmulloy | both | 16:09 |

| jamfx | afterwords kubuntu was installed | 17:49 |
| |DarkSmoke| | and | 17:49 |
| |DarkSmoke| | after you installed kubuntu | 17:49 |
| |DarkSmoke| | and rebooted , what happened? | 17:50 |
| jamfx | nothing changed ;-) | 17:50 |
| |DarkSmoke| | hmmm | 17:50 |
| jamfx | windows came up and booted without any questions | 17:50 |
| quassel219 | did you write grub to MBR? | 17:50 |
| jamfx | I hope... | 17:50 |
| jamfx | :D | 17:50 |
| jamfx | maybe I didn't | 17:50 |
| jamfx | ... | 17:50 |
| jamfx | can i "fix" this? | 17:51 |
| jamfx | somehow? | 17:51 |
| === |DarkSmoke| is now known as DarkSmoke | ||
| quassel219 | woyld be faster to reinstall ubuntu if you dont know linux | 17:51 |
| DarkSmoke | listen up jamfx | 17:52 |
| jamfx | @quassel219: ok, I would do this, but I need to use the alternate cd to be able to see the RAID | 17:52 |
| jamfx | ok | 17:52 |
| DarkSmoke | did you install kubuntu on the second HD and windows on the first hd? | 17:52 |
| jamfx | @darksmoke: yes | 17:52 |
| DarkSmoke | hmm | 17:52 |
| jamfx | first harddisks are in raid 0 | 17:52 |
| jamfx | so there are 2x 250GB in raid array (raid0) and the third harddisk is a "simple" single hdd | 17:53 |
| ghostcube | i have an idea , maybe he should change boot setup to first boot linux and tzhen edit grub in there | 17:53 |
| DarkSmoke | if you are using livecd you have an Advanced button on which hard drive to install grub , on the alternate you should have that option to somewhere, if you find it, install grub on the first hard driver where windows is installed. | 17:53 |
| ghostcube | oO | 17:53 |
| === qwer is now known as ulysses__ | ||
| jamfx | @darksmoke, maybe I manipulated this... so I will retry | 17:53 |
| DarkSmoke | ok | 17:53 |
| jamfx | I will return soon (hopefully) | 17:54 |
| DarkSmoke | if you find it, install it on the first hdd | 17:54 |

| cjae | how come the instruction for putting a copy of ubuntu on a thumb drive don't work for kubuntu? | 18:08 |
| jamfx | @cjae: the only difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is KDE in Kubuntu and Gnome in Ubuntu so the base is the same | 18:09 |
| cjae | jamfx: ya I know, but if you go to kubuntu guide it points you to the pendrive site and I have tried the instsuctions twice and do not work | 18:11 |
| jamfx | so here I am again. I have to generate my partitions manually | 18:12 |
| jamfx | I would love to have 3 partitions | 18:12 |
| jamfx | 1st. rootpartion (/) 2nd. /swap 3rd (/home) but the Grub must be on the first windows-hdd, how can I do this? | 18:13 |
| jamfx | which of my partition should be pimary / whichone should be logical? | 18:18 |
| jamfx | ? anyone here? | 18:19 |
| blahjake | jamfx: grub will go on the MBR then use chaining to boot a particular partition | 18:20 |
| blahjake | jamfx: you are limited to 4 primary partitions IIRC, but all your linux related can be logical on a single primary | 18:20 |
| jamfx | the mbr is on the raid0 will this go there automagically? | 18:20 |
| blahjake | jamfx: i believe so but you may want to have someone else confirm there's nothing funny with a RAID setup | 18:21 |
| ScytheBlade1 | it depends on your raid0 | 18:21 |
| blahjake | jamfx: hardware RAID? | 18:21 |
| ScytheBlade1 | It's kind of hard for a computer to boot when your MBR is split across two disks | 18:21 |
| ScytheBlade1 | read: impossible | 18:21 |
| ScytheBlade1 | So details of your setup would be needed | 18:22 |
| jamfx | @blahjake: nope; fakeraid ;-) | 18:22 |
| jamfx | I am using the alternate installcd which has SATA-Fake-Raid drivers enabled | 18:22 |
| ScytheBlade1 | jamfx: define two raid setups. Use raid1 for /boot, and keep it as the first partition on all of the disks. Then make a secondary raid0, for your actual OS/data | 18:22 |
| ScytheBlade1 | s/setups/arrays/ | 18:22 |
| jamfx | @scytheblade1: I don't want to have a raid for my kubuntu, this is not neccessary. I just want the GRUB to be on the fakeraid, so I can choose between Win and Kubuntu on startup | 18:24 |
| === murali is now known as murali_ | ||
| ScytheBlade1 | well, grub has two stages. One of which is on your MBR, another of which requires an actual partition. If you want to raid that partition, you almost 100% of the time have to keep that partition as raid1 | 18:25 |
| === murali_ is now known as kelly_wang | ||
| artur_ | Hi all. I have a problem with the keyboard configuration. It's a US International keyboard, and i have to configure it to use the accents grave (`), acute (´) and circumflex (^) . I can use it but the problem is that i cannot put them ON the letters. Ps.: Now, my keyboard is configured as US Internacional and the Variant altgr-intl. | 18:25 |
| Captain_Haddock | artur_: change the keyboard layout in systemsettings | 18:26 |
| jamfx | @skythe: ok, as far as i understood there should be no problem going on with my installation, the installer will automaticaly put grub on the raid? | 18:27 |
| Captain_Haddock | if youŕe asking how to add the accents to the characters | 18:27 |
| Captain_Haddock | press ' + e to get é | 18:27 |
| ScytheBlade1 | jamfx: honestly I'm not sure. I hand-roll kernels and bootloaders, so I have no idea if that will work perfectly or otherwise :) | 18:27 |
| Captain_Haddock | and so on | 18:27 |
| jamfx | I will give this a try and let you know :-) | 18:28 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: i know! i had already used this! In my language we have these kind of accents... and ~ too.. But I cannot put them ON the letters | 18:28 |
| scots | Hi all. Having some issues upgrading Kubuntu 8.01 to KDE 4.2, any gurus around? :] | 18:28 |
| ScytheBlade1 | I can tell you that sticking your /boot partition on a raid0 will not work out too well | 18:28 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: if i press ' and e ... i get 'e | 18:28 |
| artur_ | 'a | 18:29 |
| artur_ | ^a | 18:29 |
| Captain_Haddock | then your keyboard layout is not set correctly | 18:29 |
| HappySmileMan | "Alt Gr" + 'e' = é for me | 18:29 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: exactly | 18:29 |
| jamfx | @skythe: all linuxpartitions are NOT on the raid | 18:29 |
| HappySmileMan | But can only get that accent, not the other too (same with other vowels) | 18:29 |
| === murali is now known as leela | ||
| === leela is now known as leave | ||
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: and i want to fix it... I want pro press ' and the " e" to get " é" | 18:30 |
| Captain_Haddock | artur_: system settings, regional & language, keyboard layout | 18:30 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: i'm there... and then? | 18:30 |
| Captain_Haddock | your layout should be USA, us, intl, us | 18:31 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: i´ve already tried this. But there´s the problem yet.. the same problem. I cannot put them on the letters | 18:33 |
| artur_ | only after or before the letters. | 18:33 |
| Captain_Haddock | add another one without the international variant and enable the layout switcher (give it another name) | 18:33 |
| Geggele | helloo people | 18:34 |
| jamfx | hello geegele | 18:34 |
| Captain_Haddock | artur_: you might want to restart KDE if this is your login, I guess | 18:34 |
| artur_ | is there some way to make the system go back. Like is possible in Windows where is possible to go back the registry. | 18:35 |
| Captain_Haddock | that should have been "first login" above | 18:35 |
| Captain_Haddock | no, I'm not aware of system restore for Kubuntu | 18:35 |
| Captain_Haddock | but I can tell you that I have keyboard layouts working very well here | 18:36 |

| scots | Has anyone else had problems upgrading stock Kubuntu 8.10 to KDE 4.2 using the instructions on the kubuntu.org KDE 4.2 page? : / | 18:37 |
| Captain_Haddock | what problems? | 18:37 |
| scots | Specifically, adding "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main" to package manager in Third Party tab as instructed, | 18:38 |
| artur_ | Captain_Haddock: i used to have my keyboard perfect 7 day ago. | 18:38 |
| stdin | scots: project-neon is not 4.2 | 18:38 |
| scots | dropping to terminal and adding the key by pasting the line perfectly off the webpage | 18:38 |
| stdin | it's trunk (4.3) | 18:38 |
| scots | .. results in nothing | 18:39 |
| stdin | scots: if a command doesn't give you an error, it means there was no error | 18:39 |
| scots | "http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2" | 18:39 |
| Captain_Haddock | that has deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main | 18:40 |
| stdin | scots: that page does not mention neon, it uses the kubuntu-experimental PPA | 18:40 |
| scots | "Packages for Kubuntu 8.10 can be installed by following the instructions below." 1, 2, 3 per website | 18:40 |
| Captain_Haddock | nothing to do with neon | 18:40 |
| scots | They perhaps should remove the faulty information from the page then : [ | 18:40 |
| stdin | scots: what faulty information? you still haven't said what error there was | 18:40 |
| scots | I installed Kubuntu 8.10. I wish to upgrade to KDE 4.2. The cookbook on the Kubuntu page proposes to get you to just such a destination by using 6 steps | 18:41 |
| stdin | scots: yes? | 18:42 |
| scots | adding deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main to third party sources in package manager, adding the key, use adept updater, and allegedly, success | 18:42 |
| scots | Adding that URI gives me a massive wall of Fail | 18:42 |
| Captain_Haddock | scots: according to your statement above, you are adding neon and not experimental | 18:42 |
| stdin | care to share? | 18:42 |
| Captain_Haddock | fursther above | 18:42 |
| Captain_Haddock | -s | 18:42 |
| Captain_Haddock | <scots> Specifically, adding "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main" to package manager in Third Party tab as instructed, | 18:42 |
| jamfx | @skytheblade1: I just reinstalled (the x-th time) my kubuntu. Now I did as I told you before. But no GRUB is seen... During installation, it asked me if it should put the grub on the MBR, Windows was found, but still no grub... | 18:42 |
| Stonki | hello, since the upgrade to kde 4.2 I don't have sounds anymore. Bug or Feature ? | 18:43 |
| scots | Captain: Thank you, I will remove the experimental URI and substitute the Neon URI you posted. | 18:43 |
| stdin | scots: you're not listening | 18:44 |
| scots | However, I would like to reinforce the fact that.. what I pasted is what's on the Kubuntu.org website as the method to upgrade an 8.10 installation to 4.2 | 18:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | scots: no, you want the experimental URI, not the neon URI | 18:44 |
| scots | - | 18:45 |
| scots | *facepalm* My copy buffer had that from another webpage. I apologize. My issue is - using the information from the site, I'm getting nowhere | 18:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | i.e., you want the one listed at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 which has always pointed to experimental | 18:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | it worked for me fine. | 18:45 |
| stdin | scots: you still haven't said what went wrong | 18:45 |
| scots | - Let me add - I very much appreciate your time, sorry if I sound argumentive; I'm not. It's the frustration talking | 18:46 |
| Captain_Haddock | no worries | 18:46 |
| scots | ok! Package manager. Third party sources. Added per webpage | 18:46 |
| scots | pasted straight from the Third Party Software URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntudeb | 18:47 |

| scots | copied straight from http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 18:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | now, it is correct... | 18:48 |
| scots | I apologize. I'm not terribly left-brained. I assumed you would understand that I copied it correctly, and was shortening it in chat for efficiency | 18:49 |

| Captain_Haddock | do an update manually if needed | 18:50 |

| Lugia010719d1 | I would like to ask for help.. I am new to Linux, installed Kubuntu 8.10 a few days ago... One of my friends adviced me to update to KDE 4.2, so i did it using the help at kubuntu.org, but unfortunately it showed some problems with packages, and after restarting X KDE seems to be totally messed up. I can not see the "borders" of the windows, so i can not move them, minimize etc., i can not see the apps in the taskbar at the bottom of screen either a | 21:00 |
| Lugia010719d1 | Please is there any way to fix it or just to take back the updates and go back to the older KDE? | 21:00 |
| nookie^ | Lugia010719d1: welcome to the club hehe..... just joking | 21:01 |
| nookie^ | did the same thing as you today at work | 21:01 |
| Lugia010719d1 | and got the same problem? | 21:02 |
| nookie^ | and had same problems.. it totaly messed up my graphic card, my kwin, proxy settings stop working, keyboard stoped to work | 21:02 |
| nookie^ | so yeah same problems as you | 21:02 |
| nookie^ | no adviceable to upgrade to 4.2 because i don't know what it has been done but its just destroying entire distro | 21:03 |
| Lugia010719d1 | well, i had problems with keyboard too, but after having firefox opened and mIRC (emulated) i found that its just because the keyboard writes to another app, not to the one focused | 21:03 |
| Lugia010719d1 | hmm and is there any way to revert last package changes? (updates, installs, etc.) | 21:03 |
| nookie^ | i really don't know.... to shame this happened because i was looking for use it at work | 21:04 |
| Lugia010719d1 | :( | 21:04 |
| nookie^ | funny thing is | 21:04 |

| nookie^ | and then kubuntu | 21:04 |
| nookie^ | everything will work | 21:04 |

| nookie^ | Lugia010719d1: try that... i don't know what it's like that but kubuntu for some reason works much better i mean everything works out of box if u install ubuntu first | 21:05 |
| hubar | I updated my intrepid K last night to 4.2, thank god mostly it is fine. | 21:07 |
| Lugia010719d1 | well, actually i already had all the settings, apps etc installed into the Kubuntu :( Even the Windows applications i needed in Wine | 21:07 |
| nookie^ | Lugia010719d1: im finaly managed to get everything to work today after many ours of struggeling | 21:08 |

| Lugia010719d1 | hmm.. | 21:09 |
| Lugia010719d1 | well i just thought if there was a list of package changes made last time, if it could be just all un-reinstalled.. | 21:11 |
| Lugia010719d1 | desktop settings say kcm_kwindesktop is missing | 21:12 |
| alarm | i got some widgets that resist in closing. meaning. i got a picture frame widget on kubuntu 8.10 kde4.2 , and although i remove them , on the next log on or reboot they appear again and again | 21:17 |
| niklauz | alarm: i've seen the same problem, after a while plasmoids would update after successive logouts/restarts but it wasn't ever clear exactly what did it | 21:20 |
| alarm | i cant find any solution | 21:20 |
| alarm | or where its written (file) to erase them so they wont start on next start up | 21:20 |
| alarm | its annoying | 21:20 |
| Lugia010719d1 | so is there any log of what applications were installed/updated the last time? or a way to take the changes back? | 21:23 |

| ActionParsnip | cbwcjw: just a serving suggestion | 21:56 |
| Lugia010719d1 | Ok, after installing kubuntu-desktop (which needed one more pack that was not installed), everything seems to be fine.. | 21:56 |
| Lugia010719d1 | :) | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Lugia010719d1: its a good way to fix stuff | 21:57 |
| cbwcjw | ActionParsnip: Ok :) Yea, im 15, and really dont care enough about anything. Default works for me, except I pull win98 colors and themes. | 21:57 |
| Lugia010719d1 | So it seems solution to messed up KDE after attempting to update it to 4.2 is to install kubuntu-desktop (as it was marked as not installed) | 21:57 |
| Lugia010719d1 | :) | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Lugia010719d1: well yeah, the meta package installs 4.1 | 21:58 |
| Lugia010719d1 | I used synaptic pack manager.. as Adepts window was broken too much and wasnt even able to find anything | 21:58 |
| cbwcjw | ActionParsnip: Not if you have the new repo | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cbwcjw: true | 21:58 |
| Lugia010719d1 | i have the new repo set | 21:58 |

| wimpies | I presume that it is better to install a 64 bit version and I also presume I can run 32 bit apps ? | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cobra-the-joker: it will download the newest deb for the app you are --reinstall installing and only update that app | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cobra-the-joker: upgrade will upgrade everything possible | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | wimpies: depends on how much ram you have and / or what the system is for | 22:59 |
| cobra-the-joker | ActionParsnip , aha ....will update all the system then | 22:59 |

| ActionParsnip | jstanley: i dont, hence my avoiding ati (back in the day) and broadcom | 23:05 |
| Ketrel | ActionParsnip: when you drag a part of the menu to the desktop, you can add it as lancelot part, or folder view | 23:05 |
| Ketrel | Lancelot part shows up blank | 23:05 |
| jstanley | ActionParsnip: it looks like it'll be easier to use ndiswrapper | 23:06 |
| jstanley | also, i don't understand why kubuntu comes with tons of wireless drivers, even b43 which requires tons of messing around with a firmware cutter, but it doesn't come with ndiswrapper | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ketrel: its not something ive used, maybe someone else who has can chip in, your info seems decent though :) | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jstanley: it does, you can apt-get it | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jstanley: not everyone needs it so its in the optional repo | 23:07 |
