| EtFb | zaapiel: It doesn't seem to integrate with KDE4 though, for some reason. I advise praying to Google for guidance. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| * EtFb should have read three lines up before giving zaapiel that latter piece of advice | 00:02 | |
| EtFb | kaddi: That much, at least, works for me, so whatever's wrong is something different between your machine and mine. Best guess is your video driver: can you change back to vesa and see if the crashes go away? | 00:03 |
| kaddi | vesa? | 00:04 |
| EtFb | kaddi: Dang - I was hoping you knew how to do that so you could tell me, since I need to do the same to debug a suspend/resume bug. Let me see what I can find out. | 00:05 |
| kaddi | I don't even know what vesa is supposed to be ;) | 00:05 |
| gorgonizer | kaddi: in /etc/11/xorg.conf enter the line Driver "vesa" in the Section "Device" part of the file.. | 00:08 |
| === grim_ is now known as z0mg | ||
| gorgonizer | under the line Identifier "Configured Video Device" | 00:09 |
| === z0mg is now known as z0mGz | ||
| kaddi | gorgonizer: and what does this do? :) | 00:09 |
| gorgonizer | that will set the Xserver to use the vesa driver... | 00:09 |
| kaddi | just being curious, i like to understand what i do... otherwise i ain't learning noithing :) | 00:09 |
| kaddi | which is more stable than the normal one? | 00:09 |
| gorgonizer | (after restarting the X server) yes, I like to learn what I am doing as well, so it is easier in the future, if similar problems are found :) | 00:10 |
| gorgonizer | kaddi: it depends on what graphics card you have in your PC.. | 00:10 |
| EtFb | kaddi: It | 00:10 |
| EtFb | kaddi: It'll probably be stable; it'll definitely be slower and less feature-full than the one you're using. But it might not crash... | 00:11 |
| kaddi | i have an integrated intel-card | 00:11 |
| kaddi | i'll give it a try :) | 00:11 |
| zaapiel | EtFb: working well here with kde 4.2 | 00:12 |
| kaddi | brb, restarting x-server :) | 00:12 |
| EtFb | zaapiel: The screen savers, you mean? | 00:12 |
| zaapiel | yeah | 00:13 |
| EtFb | zaapiel: Excellent. I tried kscreensavers too, and it's got a lot of goodies. Three cheers for eye candy! Now if only I could make the basics work - like suspend/resume... | 00:15 |
| zaapiel | lol yeah i havent tried that yet | 00:16 |
| kaddi | so vesa definitely isn't for everybody XD | 00:22 |
| kaddi | couldn't even get a loginscreen after i made the change :p | 00:22 |
| kaddi | back to the old settings now :9 | 00:22 |
| mikevieira | hi | 00:28 |
| bittin | hi | 00:28 |
| mikevieira | I am using kubuntu | 00:28 |
| mikevieira | I am having problems with adept | 00:28 |
| mikevieira | I tried installing firefox | 00:28 |
| mikevieira | but its not installing | 00:28 |
| mikevieira | there are several errors | 00:29 |
| Hentai | adept is a apt-get front end gui? | 00:29 |
| Hentai | what errors mikevieira ? | 00:29 |
| Hentai | can you pastebin the error | 00:29 |
| Hentai | errors outputed | 00:29 |
| mikevieira | I tried to send the errors through the link | 00:29 |
| mikevieira | but its not working neither | 00:30 |
| mikevieira | I tried the wizard and it too has problems | 00:30 |
| mikevieira | let me get the errors numbers if i CAN | 00:30 |
| Hentai | mikevieira, what about apt-get install firefox | 00:30 |
| mikevieira | how do I use apt-get as I just installed kubuntu today | 00:31 |
| Hentai | mikevieira, open terminal | 00:32 |
| mikevieira | I tried searching for it and it sent me to the web page | 00:32 |
| Hentai | then in order to install something usually you need to use the sudo command | 00:32 |
| Hentai | to give you a higher access level | 00:32 |
| Hentai | that way you can install the app with apt-get | 00:33 |
| Hentai | so | 00:33 |
| Hentai | first run | 00:33 |
| Hentai | apt-cache search firefox | 00:33 |
| Hentai | just that | 00:33 |
| Hentai | in termainl | 00:33 |
| cbwcjw | !enter | Hentai | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Hentai: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:33 |
| EtFb | kaddi: If you're using KDE4, the method is probably different. xorg.conf doesn't work the way it used to. I'm tracking down the new method now... | 00:33 |
| gorgonizer | EtFb: that is where I had to set nvidia as the driver, but if there is a new way, please let me know :) | 00:34 |
| mikevieira | ok | 00:35 |
| Hentai | mikevieira, you want to find out what firefox packages are around to install, the name of it | 00:35 |
| gorgonizer | (I am on KDE 4.2) | 00:35 |
| zaapiel | good man | 00:35 |
| mikevieira | I'll be back on a little later | 00:36 |
| mikevieira | I have to go | 00:36 |
| mikevieira | I see I am going to be here for a while | 00:36 |
| mikevieira | see ya later | 00:36 |
| wweng | question, how do I mark certain message as SPAM? | 00:37 |
| wweng | in kmail | 00:37 |
| === wweng is now known as hubar_ | ||
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: hey! | 00:38 |
| gorgonizer | wweng: have you ran the Anti-spam Wizard under the tools menu? as after that, you should have an option under right click to mark a message as SPAM or HAM.. | 00:38 |
| hubar_ | hmm let me try that! | 00:39 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: hello!! How are you? I have been celebrating a successful weekend for English sporting prowess | 00:39 |
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: haha, Yea, im just enjoying KDE 4.2. Ive definitley had less cras | 00:40 |
| cbwcjw | crashes* | 00:40 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: I decided (for some reason I am not privy to) to use Project-neon packages for plasmoids and Amarok2... had some minor niggles (with amarok), but it is all good :) | 00:41 |
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: AWesome | 00:42 |
| hubar_ | gorgonizer: thanks a lot, it works perfectly. :) | 00:42 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: yeah, it is looking good for the next releases of KDE :) from the improvement from 4.1 -> 4.2, 4.3 should be excellent.. | 00:43 |
| gorgonizer | hubar_: no problem :) | 00:43 |
| hubar_ | gorgonizer: If you don't mind, can you tell me how do I scroll page up / down in kmail 4.2? | 00:43 |
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: Thats what I figure | 00:43 |
| hubar_ | I find key p/n for scroll message up/down. | 00:43 |
| gorgonizer | hubar_: I tend to use the scroll wheel on my mouse... so other than that, I wouldn't know :( | 00:44 |
| hubar_ | hehe I am on a laptop. | 00:44 |
| hubar_ | so I prefer not to use mouse :) | 00:45 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: though looking at the feature release for 4.2, they didn't finish everything they wanted... | 00:45 |
| gorgonizer | hubar_: that is understandable :) | 00:45 |
| Nomexous | Has anyone manually generated thumbnails for videos? | 00:50 |
| syockit | hubar_: scroll is either Up/Dn or PgUp/PgDn | 00:50 |
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: Whats the command to enable window compositing | 00:51 |
| hubar_ | syockit: It only works in message, not in the message list. | 00:51 |
| cbwcjw | gorgononizer: /shorcut | 00:51 |
| hubar_ | I want it to scroll up/dn in the list. | 00:51 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: I think it is Ctrl + Shift + f11... | 00:52 |
| === alfonso_ is now known as alfonso_66 | ||
| cbwcjw | gorgonizer: nope :/ | 00:52 |
| syockit | hubar_: right, the controls are so uneasy | 00:52 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: oh, in that case, do you know if knotify has a log? If it does, I should be able to find it... | 00:53 |
| hubar_ | wow syockit, you are genius. :) ctrl+pgup/dn works. :) | 00:54 |
| syockit | hubar_: Hey wait, it aint supposed to work that way! Shortcut says Scroll (more)! | 00:55 |
| syockit | hubar_: anyways good discovery by both of us :) | 00:55 |
| hubar_ | syockit: I have no idea how that works. alt+pgup/dn seems to work too, although it shows the message that is your current. | 00:56 |
| hubar_ | Ctrl+pgup/dn dehighlights the current message. | 00:57 |
| EtFb | Godsdammit! Here I am, trying to debug a suspend/resume problem, and what happens? Suspend/resume works perfectly! How am I supposed to fix the problem if it randomly goes away whenever I look for the cause? Gaah! | 00:57 |
| syockit | hubar_: I just realized I could scroll with Left/Right | 00:58 |
| hubar_ | what is the new app that is supposed to replace konversation? | 00:58 |
| EtFb | hubar_: I got sick of konv. and installed kvIrc instead. Much better. | 00:59 |
| syockit | hubar_: They're considering kvirc or quassel | 00:59 |
| syockit | hubar_: Since both have qt4 | 00:59 |
| hubar_ | what is the notable advantage of kvIrc/quassel over konversation? | 01:00 |
| syockit | quassel's said to be lightweight, but everytime I run it, it takes considerable processing when it joins a channel. I dunno why | 01:00 |
| syockit | EtFb: kvirc's that good? | 01:00 |
| pkodon | Any advantage of any of those over Kopete? | 01:00 |
| hubar_ | It seems KDE developers love to switch the default applications around. | 01:00 |
| wil__ | españl | 01:01 |
| hubar_ | without a good reason... | 01:01 |
| wil__ | español | 01:01 |
| kaddi | !es | 01:01 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 01:01 |
| EtFb | syockit: It's OK. Konversation was bad enough that I had to change, and I've been using kvirc for a while on my Windoze box at work. | 01:01 |
| hubar_ | EtFb: what is wrong with konversation for you? :) | 01:02 |
| EtFb | Being able to split the screen to put the system messages at the top is good - means there's less clutter (BObama [n=chief@whitehouse.gov] as joined #kubuntu, and so on) | 01:02 |
| syockit | okay, installing kvirc now | 01:02 |
| EtFb | hubar_: Too many things I couldn't figure out how to do. Typical KDE software: you need to know how to find and edit the config files to make it do stuff, and too many features aren't implemented yet. | 01:03 |
| pkodon | EtFb: I take it all of those programs are IRC-specific. | 01:03 |
| pkodon | EtFb: Is there anything on linux that's like mIRC? | 01:03 |
| syockit | That system message feature's good enough to draw me to kvirc | 01:03 |
| Walzmyn | anybody running 8.04 having trouble with flash in firefox? | 01:04 |
| syockit | pkodon: probably xchat? | 01:04 |
| Walzmyn | pkodon, i'm using xchat | 01:04 |
| === paolo is now known as P | ||
| EtFb | pkodon: I find using a universal chat program like kopete or Pidgin for IRC just doesn't work for me. The idioms are too different. | 01:04 |
| * Walzmyn agrees with EtFb | 01:04 | |
| syockit | EtFb: yup. You can never irc comfortably on those | 01:04 |
| EtFb | syockit: When you're on, ask me how to set it up for the split-screen thing. It's not obvious. | 01:04 |
| === P is now known as Guest91805 | ||
| hubar_ | I dunno, I use chatzilla a lot at work PC, that says a lot of my IRC tolerance.:) | 01:05 |
| EtFb | hubar_: Yeah, I used to use that. Convenience (ie having it right there in your browser) is often enough. I use Emacs's "erc" the same way sometimes. At least I know how to configure that: read the source and find out what global variables to set! | 01:05 |
| pkodon | EtFb: Okay, thanks for the input, I've been using Kopete because I often find myself having to be on both IM and IRC at the same time, and it has been nice to be able to see when someone has spoken to me on the other system. | 01:06 |
| Walzmyn | I've got the flash plugin installed from the repos, but anything flash related tells me I need to download the player | 01:06 |
| syockit | lol create desktop shortcut! | 01:06 |
| pkodon | As for XChat, what does it use for scripting? | 01:06 |
| EtFb | Walzmyn: Restart your browser. | 01:06 |
| Walzmyn | EtFb, been this way for 2 or 3 weeks | 01:06 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: Hmm, I had the same problem, till I trashed my Linux and overwrote it with PC/OS (don't know what the difference between Xubuntu and PC/OS is, as it's just Xubuntu with some multimedia stuff added). | 01:08 |
| EtFb | Walzmyn: 2 or 3 weeks without YouTube? Unthinkable! | 01:08 |
| Walzmyn | HA! I could live without flash myself. but friends keep sending me youtube links, figured I should try to watch them | 01:09 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: Well, you never know what you'll find on YouTube. | 01:09 |
| EtFb | Walzmyn: <apt-get --purge remove> the lot - I assume you're using Firefox - and make sure you've got the Medibuntu repos. Then try it again. Something must have gotten b0rked as you were installing. | 01:10 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: You might also try installing Opera, but get the latest one from their website, not from the Ubuntu repository. | 01:10 |
| Walzmyn | pkodon, i've got opera installed, it is by far my faovred, but the 64 bit version seems to just drag around something aweful | 01:11 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as ZiRiS | ||
| ZiRiS | can someone tell me how to 'copy' inside of a terminal, please? | 01:12 |
| hubar_ | damn what a mess, kvirc is pretty nice, :) At least it has theme support! | 01:12 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: Oh, I didn't know you were using 64-bit. | 01:12 |
| Walzmyn | EtFb, it was working just fine and then stopped. I don't recall an update to either the flash package or to firefox, but one coulda slipped past me | 01:12 |
| Walzmyn | pkodon, yeah, and i don't think you can get flash with 64 bit opera anyway, can you? | 01:12 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: Do you have autoupdates turned on in Firefox? | 01:12 |
| Walzmyn | ZiRiS, use your mouse | 01:13 |
| Walzmyn | pkodon, yes | 01:13 |
| kaddi | ZiRiS: enter cp --help | 01:13 |
| kaddi | should tell you all need to know :) | 01:13 |
| ZiRiS | Walzmyn: very funny. I am trying to copy a file from one location to another. | 01:13 |
| pkodon | Walzmyn: Well, I don't know if it does it's updates in the background or if it lets you know if it's updating, but I've never seen it update on my installation. | 01:13 |
| ZiRiS | kaddi: tyvm!! | 01:14 |
| pkodon | ZiRiS: Want to make it easy? Install Midnight Commander and use that. ( apt-get install mc) | 01:15 |
| ZiRiS | Is it possible to use wild characters in a term window with the command 'cp'? | 01:16 |
| Walzmyn | ZiRiS, oh, sorry, missunderstood | 01:16 |
| ZiRiS | Walzmyn: s'ok | 01:16 |
| EtFb | ZiRiS: I assumed you meant copy-paste via the clipboard too. | 01:16 |
| gorgonizer | ZiRiS: yes, you should be able to use wildcards with the cp command.. | 01:16 |
| ZiRiS | if wild characters are useable, what IS the wild character? * doesn't seem to work | 01:17 |
| kaddi | ZiRiS: it's possible i've seen it on google this evening... not sure how it works though | 01:17 |
| EtFb | ZiRiS: Wildcards are different in Linux. Imagine you have a directory containing foo.txt. bar.txt and baz.log. If you type somecommand *.txt, it gets converted by the shell processor to somecommand foo.txt bar.txt. | 01:17 |
| ZiRiS | sudo cp Xorg.conf.* /media/disk/etc/X11 gives me error message: cp: cannot stat `Xorg.conf.*': No such file or directory | 01:17 |
| EtFb | That is, the shell expands it, so the somecommand never sees the * wildcard. | 01:18 |
| ZiRiS | I'm currently on the live cd since kubuntu wont load from the hdd | 01:18 |
| EtFb | ZiRiS: If that's what you typed, fair enough. There's no Xorg.conf.* file there by default; the X should be lowercase. | 01:18 |
| ZiRiS | ahhh, you're right | 01:19 |
| ZiRiS | EtFb: sweet, thx. That got it. | 01:19 |
| EtFb | ZiRiS: Watch out also: in DOS, you can dir *.* and get all files; in Linux, that would only find files with dots in their names. | 01:19 |
| hubar_ | hmm I am using the kde experimental PPA in the topic, but how come I still use amarok 1.4? | 01:20 |
| ZiRiS | see... what had happened was... I installed a fresh install of kubuntu after the same issue happened in ubuntu. I installed the recommended driver for my vid card (nVidia 8600GT) and rebooted, but xserver won't load. So I'm trying to copy the files listed previously and a few others to try to fix this. anyone else have a suggestion? | 01:21 |
| gorgonizer | hubar_: as amarok 2 isn't favoured by Amarok fans atm... | 01:21 |
| EtFb | hubar_: I didn't think there was a new Amarok yet. | 01:21 |
| hubar_ | ahh. | 01:21 |
| hubar_ | okay. :) | 01:21 |
| gorgonizer | EtFb: Amarok 2 is available (2.0.1.1) but it appears a bit buggy.. and uses an embedded MySQL server atm.. | 01:22 |
| hubar_ | Is adept or kpackage the one that is preferred by KDE4? | 01:22 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Hendershot | ||
| gorgonizer | hubar_: I think Adept is, until Jaunty comes out, which is using Kpackagekit I believe.. | 01:22 |
| EtFb | New puzzle: sometimes when I suspend, the pm-suspend.log shows all sorts of segfaults, on nearly every line. How can I debug that? | 01:23 |
| EtFb | hubar_: kpackage is broken -- there are still some features that aren't implemented, like search. | 01:23 |
| hubar_ | oh. | 01:23 |
| EtFb | hubar_: I'll be glad to see the end of Adept though; hideous unusable piece of crap. | 01:23 |
| hubar_ | why? | 01:24 |
| EtFb | hubar_: I just hope kpackage is an improvement; doesn't look like it so far. | 01:24 |
| gorgonizer | EtFb: I agree with that, tend to use the command line to find/install packages.. | 01:24 |
| hubar_ | It is certainly not as good as synaptic though. | 01:24 |
| EtFb | hubar_: Basically because the people who designed it don't use it themselves. So they haven't given it the usability improvements it needs. | 01:24 |
| hubar_ | lol, they use command lines? | 01:25 |
| Ketrel | Ok, I have a question: I'm having this problem: http://forum.kde.org/rssnow-looks-ugly-after-plasma-restart-t-30813.html Anyone, have any idea what might be the cause, since some people I've talked to can't reproduce it | 01:25 |

| ubuntu_ | hey there all, kubuntu has done something awful and i need help please | 05:58 |
| ubuntu_ | for some reason i have lost my boot files and folder, my etc folder, and cannot boot without k disk\ | 05:59 |
| ubuntu_ | hello | 06:00 |
| ubuntu_ | ??? | 06:00 |
| gp | why of why OO spell check never works !! | 06:06 |
| gp | did ubuntu team forgot to ship english dictionary | 06:07 |
| gp | these such a basic feature | 06:07 |
| uga | gp: you can download and install it from the official site in any case: www.openoffice.org | 06:15 |
| uga | gp: I ended up doing that, given the brokenness of the available ooo 3 packages | 06:15 |
| ubuntu_ | excellent, now how do i restore my pc please? | 06:16 |
| ubuntu_ | get error 15 when trying grub commands | 06:16 |
| uga | ubuntu_: you should check if those files are available when you boot, and make sure the path to them is correct | 06:16 |
| uga | ubuntu_: if so, you'll need to install kernel packages again | 06:17 |
| uga | s/if so/if not | 06:18 |
| ubuntu_ | non-existant when i boot from disk | 06:19 |
| ubuntu_ | correct path via sda1 | 06:19 |
| ubuntu_ | i copied files accross from var/lib/cache or something like that, but no good | 06:19 |
| ubuntu_ | so i think ther're unavailable, and really i'm shocked, where did they go? | 06:21 |
| ubuntu_ | s/if so/if not? | 06:22 |
| ubuntu_ | please i don't know what to do | 06:24 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: so what's the problem? you can't boot? | 06:30 |
| ubuntu_ | correct | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | missing boot and etc folders | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | trying to restore from restore program, we'll see, | 06:32 |
| ubuntu_ | grub error 15 on boot | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | not sure if that's an mbr problem or what? | 06:33 |
| mefisto__ | restore program? | 06:38 |
| ubuntu_ | simple restore, | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry, simple backup | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | sbackup | 06:39 |
| mefisto__ | ok, you have a backup. have you done the restore yet? | 06:40 |
| ubuntu_ | can only find etc folder as yet, if i can get k to reboot, will it rewright /etc on the fly? | 06:41 |
| mefisto__ | no it won't rewrite /etc on boot | 06:43 |
| mefisto__ | does /etc exist or is it missing? | 06:43 |
| ubuntu_ | it's missing | 06:43 |
| ubuntu_ | ark has not permission to write to /media/disk | 06:44 |
| mefisto__ | any idea why? | 06:44 |
| ubuntu_ | and sudo ark from konsole says communication problem | 06:44 |
| ubuntu_ | i was using a wine ftp backup program when the power went out? | 06:44 |
| ubuntu_ | driveHQ backup | 06:45 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: if /boot and /etc are missing, you might want to consider backing up your home folder and reinstalling | 06:46 |
| ubuntu_ | looks like the go, getting over re-installing atft though | 06:47 |
| ubuntu_ | is someone into hacking me? | 06:47 |
| ubuntu_ | and running outa hdd's, since my windows drive reads to kubuntu as full when it's not | 06:48 |
| notranc | ubuntu_ if you are going to reinstall, create a separate partition for home. I don't know why that is not available by default! Separate /home makes it possible to reinstall without losing your home files. | 06:49 |
| ubuntu_ | very sweet, does that mean two partitions on the disk | 06:51 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 06:51 |
| |syockit| | ubuntu_: it can be even more. | 06:51 |
| |syockit| | ubuntu_: by default you have a partition for whole ubuntu, and also another for swap | 06:52 |
| |syockit| | ubuntu_: usually people advise to create another partition for /home, as you want to reuse that when reinstalling os | 06:52 |

| pwill | hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me get this style of menu : http://liquidat.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/menu.png | 08:05 |
| pwill | I've been told that I ought to be able to right click on my k menu and change the style, but the option is not there for me. | 08:06 |
| zaapiel-mobile | yao_ziyuan: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 8887 -j ACCEPT | 08:07 |
| zaapiel-mobile | that would open it up if it is iptables blocking it | 08:07 |
| yao_ziyuan | and for udp just change tcp to udp? | 08:08 |
| zaapiel-mobile | yeah i think | 08:11 |
| zaapiel-mobile | i never used it for that | 08:11 |
| zaapiel-mobile | man iptables | 08:11 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:27 |

| ct529 | xp-killer: then remember to add the gpg key. Use: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 14:07 |
| ct529 | xp-killer: then apt-get install realplayer | 14:07 |

| mefisto__ | xp-killer: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: launch kmenuedit and delete it | 14:46 |
| pablo_ | ActionParsnip: How can i check? | 14:47 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: then do this again: sudo apt-get install realplayer | 14:47 |
| pablo_ | ActionParsnip: i believe it is Intrepid but i am not sure | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | pablo_: so dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | grep -i glx returns results? | 14:47 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: http://pastebin.ca/1331605 for the comand sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 14:48 |

| mefisto__ | xp-killer: try this on its own: sudo apt-get -y install medibuntu-keyring | 14:50 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: it still given me that error with There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes | 14:51 |
| beachsurfin | not sure what to mount | 14:52 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: ok, without the -y what does it do: sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | sorset1: sudo umount -a | 14:52 |

| vadi2 | Hi. How can I install kde3 in kubuntu 8.10? | 14:53 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: it give me an ok | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: its hard | 14:53 |
| sorset1 | ActionParsnip: thx, but it says "device is busy" | 14:53 |
| vadi2 | Yeah, I thought so when I didn't see the package in the list :x. But my friend switched to kubuntu and wants it | 14:53 |
| beachsurfin | ActionParsnip: no | 14:53 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: ok, before installing, we will remove unneeded packages that were installed from all this mess: sudo apt-get autoremove | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963695 | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | beachsurfin: unplug it, wait, plug it back in, wait, run dmesg | tail | 14:54 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: lol | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sorset1: try rebooting | 14:54 |
| beachsurfin | ActionParsnip: 142527.724356] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice | 14:54 |
| beachsurfin | a few of those messages | 14:54 |
| sorset1 | ActionParsnip: i wan to try without reboot :( | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sorset1: make sure your pwd is ~/ | 14:55 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: ok | 14:55 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: then we will update/upgrade everything you have installed: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:55 |
| beachsurfin | argh, i'll have to come back to this. i have to leave | 14:55 |
| vadi2 | ActionParsnip: hm, which part of the guide is valid? | 14:55 |
| beachsurfin | later | 14:55 |
| vadi2 | it says instructions and then later on says the ppa is offline | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: add the repos then install the package | 14:55 |
| vadi2 | which? | 14:55 |
| vadi2 | kb9vqf? | 14:56 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: now installing realplayer should work: sudo apt-get install realplayer | 14:56 |
| vadi2 | because after it says "19-11-2008 Important! The KDE3 repositories are offline now." | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: the top 3 boxes, except use kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: usig sudo with gui apps is incorrect | 14:56 |
| vadi2 | hm | 14:57 |
| vadi2 | but http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6210362&postcount=107 says they asked him to pull them down | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sorset1: if your device is correct and the mountpoint exists it should mount | 14:57 |
| vadi2 | and, ah, never put anything up themselves | 14:57 |
| sorset1 | ActionParsnip: i had gparted open | 14:58 |
| sorset1 | but now i closed it | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: you can always compile the kde3 source | 14:58 |
| sorset1 | but i still have problem | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | sorset1: d'oh | 14:58 |
| vadi2 | ActionParsnip: :P I have a feeling my friend didn't switch from sidux for that | 14:58 |

| Ghidorah | I am contemplating switching from ubuntu to kubuntu, and in the past I have heard of setting up a partition for software. If I were to do this, is it beneficial at all, or is it a matter of preference? | 15:31 |
| * ct529 do not understand Ghidorah's question | 15:32 | |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: how long your using linux? | 15:32 |
| carpii | generally its a good idea to put /home on a new partition, so if your OS dies you havent lost all your settings and personal stuff | 15:32 |
| xp-killer | how u know all of theses stuff? | 15:32 |
| carpii | as for software, well its up to you. But everything can be gotten from the repositories again if needs be, so its less of an issue | 15:33 |
| mefisto__ | xp-killer: about 3 years with kubuntu, before that I tried a few livecds but didn't install | 15:33 |
| Ghidorah | home is usually contained in the /root correct? | 15:33 |
| Ghidorah | ok, well thank you capri | 15:33 |
| carpii | its a directory in the root of the drive, yes | 15:33 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: u lurn all of that in 3 years? | 15:33 |
| carpii | but not in /root, which is a seperate directory | 15:33 |
| mefisto__ | Ghidorah: your home is in /home/user-name/ for each user | 15:34 |
| Ghidorah | ok, my mistake | 15:34 |
| xp-killer | mefisto__: u work for the linux guys or your just a guy home? | 15:34 |

| Mr_Grieves| | Hi, I'm trying to install 8.10 on a PC that shipped with Vista on NTFS, but the installer is unable to resize the partitions. | 16:53 |
| ct529 | giarca: yes, me too .... | 16:54 |
| giarca | ct529: :D | 16:54 |
| Mr_Grieves| | Theres no info about the error in dmesg | 16:54 |
| Mr_Grieves| | All the pop up says is "Unable to resize partition" | 16:54 |
| Mr_Grieves| | Is this a known issue? | 16:54 |
| giarca | ct529: yes, your link is definetly the flash package I'm looking for | 16:55 |
| giarca | great! | 16:55 |
| giarca | now I'm gonna install by hand (when some download finsh) :P | 16:55 |

| eutychus | what is the name of the ubuntu printer control so i can dl it to follow the intstruction for connecting to a network printer? | 17:01 |
| mefisto__ | ct529: you mean something to do video capture of the desktop? | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | Mr_Grieves| , yes a dedicated partition editor like GParted is required to resize before using the live cd install | 17:02 |
| BluesKaj | !Gparted | 17:03 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 17:03 |

| eutychus | does anyone realize that one cannot follow the ubuntu instruction in kubuntu in order to connect to a network printer that is attacked to a windows pc? | 17:04 |
| cuznt | i do | 17:05 |
| cuznt | cause i can not either | 17:05 |
| mefisto__ | ct529: istanbul worked well for me, but not with sound. xvidcap is much more configureable, but the wrong combination of options always resulted in a crash for me | 17:05 |
| eli_ | helli | 17:06 |
| eli_ | any1 here? | 17:06 |
| Mr_Grieves| | BluesKaj: I seem to recall the LiveCD's resize operation working fine on another computer, but that was a FAT32 FS I think. So the installer just can't handle NTFS? | 17:08 |
| eutychus | can someone walk me thru this? i have a laptops and a pc running kubuntu that need to be connected to the network printer. the ubuntu instructions do not work for kubuntu. | 17:08 |
| ct529 | mefisto__: thanks, I will give it a go .... I used recorddesktop in the past | 17:10 |
| ct529 | eutychus: do you have cups installed? | 17:10 |
| eutychus | :( i dont know. i was hoping samba would find it. | 17:10 |
| eutychus | the comps are on a home network, and the printer is connected to a pc running vista. | 17:11 |
| eutychus | ct529: how do i determine if cups is running? | 17:12 |

| eli_ | tnx | 17:21 |
| eli_ | i'm new to linux-and i managed to figure out most of the things but i have 1 question | 17:21 |
| eli_ | ubuntu apperantly recognizes my printer, but when i print- the printer wont do it | 17:22 |
| eli_ | i have Xerox PE220 | 17:22 |
| eutychus | ct529: when i had ubuntu installed on this pc; whatever print manager that ubuntu used, it was able to connect to the network, find the printer that is connected to the pc with vista on it, and print... it just found the printer and started using it. when i try to set up connecting to the printer with kubuntu it asks for information about what the name of the printer, its location etc. i do not know these things. | 17:23 |
| neybar | I'm stuck in dependancy hell. I was trying to update 8.10 with kde 4.2 and I can't seem to get libplasma3 to install cleanly. | 17:25 |
| eli_ | its not a network printer | 17:26 |
| eli_ | its connected via a USB port | 17:26 |
| ct529 | eutychus: it should be exactly the same .... of course you have to have the appropriate software installed | 17:26 |
| eli_ | i'll c what i can do | 17:27 |

| eutychus | ct529: ic | 17:28 |
| eutychus | ct529: :( this is sort of frustrating. what should i do? | 17:30 |
| syockit | neybar: what fails to remove? | 17:32 |
| neybar | syockit: it turns out it was a problem with the kde-icons-oxygen package. I got it worked out. Now I'm in kde4.2 and no apps will take keyboard input. | 17:39 |
| nico_ | any italian? | 17:40 |
| neybar | I can crtl-alt-F1 out to a shell ok, but the gui doesn't seem to be accepting input. | 17:40 |

| hubar | for some strange reason that I couldn't bother to investigate. | 17:56 |
| garri | is anyone in here good with sound issues? i have been googling but don't seem to find the solution that works | 17:56 |
| downhill_ | never buy a linksys WRT54g, regardless of what anybody ever tells you (that's positive) | 17:57 |

| garri | nope...was fine until i rebooted the computer | 17:59 |
| downhill_ | what sound card do you have? | 17:59 |
| garri | then the sound went away | 17:59 |
| nico_ | i uninstalled freevo and i installed elisa | 17:59 |
| garri | uuu wait...i'll go check :D | 17:59 |
| nico_ | perfect | 17:59 |
| nico_ | bye bye and thanx | 17:59 |
| giarca | garri: if there was and after a reboot gone I think can be probably a module problem | 18:00 |
| downhill_ | well yeah | 18:00 |
| giarca | or something else, loaded first and not loaded now | 18:00 |
| downhill_ | how about he just gives us some info first, eh? | 18:00 |
| eutychus | what is the apt get command if i want do install the system-config-print-kde package? | 18:00 |
| garri | giarca...well, sounds good so far...what can we do to fix it? | 18:00 |
| giarca | garri: lsmod print your sound card? | 18:00 |
| downhill_ | eutychus: man apt-get | 18:01 |

| downhill_ | anywho, uh what's the name of the module for the HD architecture... I can't remember off the top of my head >.< snd_hd? int_snd_hd? something... | 18:04 |
| giarca | garri, on lsmod are loaded the module of ICH8? | 18:04 |

| garri | gairca, i don't know what that means....sooowwy | 18:05 |
| downhill_ | garri: punch in "lsmod" and look for ich8 | 18:06 |
| giarca | lsmod is a command like lspci | 18:06 |
| downhill_ | and lsusb, and... | 18:06 |
| giarca | lspci = list pci slot -- lsmod = lost module loaded | 18:06 |
| giarca | *list | 18:06 |
| syockit | don't forget lsusb too | 18:06 |

| garri | when I typed in lsmod I didn't find ICH8 | 18:08 |
| downhill_ | ah! snd_hda_intel, that's what I was looking for | 18:08 |
| downhill_ | garri: how about snd_hda_intel? | 18:08 |
| hubar | eutychus, sorry can not help you. :( I hate the whole printing thing in Linux. | 18:08 |

| downhill_ | settings > configure amarok > engine > right pane | 18:16 |
| garri | which command worked...cause just before you asked if i heard any sound from amarok, two minutes or so before i have closed it | 18:16 |
| downhill_ | garri: ^ | 18:17 |
| downhill_ | it might be falling back to OSS, which is a totally different story | 18:17 |
| giarca | garri, re-do the command downhill_ gave to you and repaste | 18:17 |
| downhill_ | ja that'll also tell | 18:17 |
| giarca | i want to see what change | 18:17 |
| garri | yes, autodetect | 18:18 |

| === lucas_ is now known as clara | ||
| garri | okay...so i'm using oss...how do we change that? | 18:24 |
| the1beast1within | can someone anwer me a question? | 18:24 |
| downhill_ | garri: ok, that's easier to read ;) the top set (/dev/snd/*) represents all your ALSA-driven sound connections from applications. kmix and (for some reason) kpdf are both talking to your ALSA drivers. amarok is using /dev/dsp, which is the OSS device. OSS can only do 1 sound at a time, so right now nothing else can play sound on your system | 18:24 |
| garri | hmm...interesting | 18:25 |
| downhill_ | yeah so what we want to do is figure out exactly why it's not working. you already showd your ALSA driver is loaded (which doesn't mean a whole lot honestly) | 18:25 |
| mefisto__ | sudo alsa force-reload will restart alsa and kill any apps using it | 18:25 |
| downhill_ | in kmix can you "unhide" all the options? settings > Configure channels | 18:26 |
| garri | and i'm able to play music!! which is a lot :D | 18:26 |
| downhill_ | eh yeah but maybe it's not configured right, mefisto__ :) | 18:26 |
| downhill_ | if the driver is loaded, perhaps something is blocking sound output, like those stupid IEC958 checkboxes | 18:26 |
| garri | i have configure shortcuts, global shortcuts and configure kmix | 18:27 |
| downhill_ | hmmm... do you have the corect device selected (tabs)? :) | 18:28 |
| downhill_ | side note: this is what a properly working output would look like: http://slexy.org/view/s20iWguGvj <---everything is using /dev/snd/* | 18:28 |
| garri | what is the correct device selected...the tabs? how do i figgurat one out? | 18:29 |
| downhill_ | uh it should say like HDA Intel Corporation 82801H or something | 18:30 |

| garri | ooh yeah...it says HDA Intel... then I can click on CA0106 | 18:31 |
| downhill_ | garri: that's it. | 18:31 |
| garri | should I switch? | 18:31 |
| sep1318 | Mamarok: there should be, I don't remember in which PPA/repo they're in atm though. | 18:32 |
| garri | to CA0106? | 18:32 |

| Mamarok | mefisto__: freat, thx :) | 18:33 |
| downhill_ | garri: uh, I'm not sure. never had your card. do you have 2 sound cards? O_o | 18:33 |
| sep1318 | is there a way to get 4.2 w/o using the entire experimental PPA? | 18:33 |
| garri | yeah...one that's built in the motherboard and another one that's a little better i hope | 18:33 |
| downhill_ | oh! | 18:33 |
| martijn81 | how to find out whether i have i386 or amd64 installed? | 18:34 |
| downhill_ | welllll that's a whole different story. what a waste of time this has been :p | 18:34 |
| garri | i have soundblaster system | 18:34 |
| downhill_ | what model? j/w | 18:34 |
| garri | no no no!! i am playing music as we speak!! | 18:34 |
| garri | :D | 18:34 |
| downhill_ | no, you're using OSS, which has not fixed any problem at all. | 18:34 |
| garri | bloody crap i don't recall...this is creative soundblaster 5.1 or something | 18:35 |
| downhill_ | oh wait, CAO106... you. yeah | 18:35 |
| downhill_ | it's an Audigy 1 or so | 18:35 |
| === olzsal is now known as Etnevel | ||
| garri | yeah it rings a bell | 18:35 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: does your computer case have any badges on it? metaly advertising that mentions intel or amd in any way? | 18:35 |
| downhill_ | anywho, what you really want to do is set your default soundcard by using "asoundconf" -- first do "asoundconf list" to see the list of sound cards | 18:36 |
| ubunturos | is there #ubuntu-uk? (or kubuntu-uk, perhaps?) | 18:36 |
| martijn81 | sep1318: well, i have an intel core duo 2 | 18:36 |
| garri | it says Intel and CA0106 | 18:36 |
| umbrart | no need to answer me anymore, another channel (#ubuntu-nl) solved this for me | 18:36 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: that method doesn't work for everything, but it should work for amarok, etc | 18:36 |
| downhill_ | garri: ok, then asoundconf set-default-card CAO106 | 18:36 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: OSS should just die already | 18:37 |
| downhill_ | or you mean the default sound card? | 18:37 |
| downhill_ | works for anything before KDE4 :p | 18:37 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: yeah, setting the default that way doesn't work for every app | 18:37 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: ok, so can you restate your question? do you want to know what version of kubuntu you have installed, or which to install, or what? | 18:37 |
| downhill_ | no, but it *does* fix a lot of apps | 18:37 |
| garri | i did that but i don't notice any changes | 18:37 |
| martijn81 | sep1318: which one i have installed currently | 18:38 |
| downhill_ | garri: you need to stop playing music in amarok for one ;) to *accurately* test, you might want to change amarok to use alsa only by going into that "Engine" config screen again and selecting it in place of "autodetect" | 18:38 |
| downhill_ | (was that clear? sorry...) | 18:38 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: setting an index number in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is THE way to set default soundcards | 18:38 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: too confusing... | 18:38 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: fixing the goddamn problem upstream is THE way to fix sound problems :p | 18:39 |
| garri | should i quit kmix as well? | 18:39 |
| downhill_ | nah, it's cool | 18:39 |
| garri | when i open the kmix again, it still says HDA Intel | 18:40 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: i don't know off the top of my head, but i'll poke around a bit on the interwebs. | 18:40 |
| downhill_ | garri: it'll always say that as long as it's enabled and the driver is loaded :p | 18:41 |
| garri | ahh okay...so what do we do next? | 18:41 |
| downhill_ | test it | 18:42 |
| downhill_ | see if amarok will play using ALSA | 18:42 |
| garri | i did the asoundconf set-default-card CAO106 command again but i again don't see any diffirence | 18:42 |
| garri | how do i do that? open amarok and then what? | 18:42 |
| downhill_ | did you open amarok up, stop the music and change the sound method? | 18:42 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: try "uname -a" and see what it gives you. | 18:43 |
| downhill_ | settings > configure amarok > engine > right pane where it says "autodetect" change it to "alsa" | 18:43 |

| downhill_ | baaah | 18:44 |
| garri | lol | 18:44 |
| mefisto__ | try closing amarok, then restart it and make those changes | 18:45 |
| garri | by restarting it you mean quit the program or restart the whole computer? | 18:46 |
| downhill_ | amarok alone | 18:46 |
| mefisto__ | no, just amarok | 18:46 |
| garri | same error message | 18:46 |
| downhill_ | interesting | 18:47 |
| garri | isn't it? :D | 18:47 |
| downhill_ | can you show us the output of lsof /dev/dsp | 18:47 |
| garri | nothing happened in the shell | 18:48 |
| downhill_ | ok so nothing is using /dev/dsp then | 18:48 |
| downhill_ | errr | 18:48 |
| solifugus | installed kubuntu 8.10 and the default vi has no syntax highlighting or anything but basic editing | 18:48 |
| solifugus | I looked in adapt and all it shows to install is, gvim. | 18:49 |
| downhill_ | the little asterisk at the end is extremely important. lsof /dev/dsp* | 18:49 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: not quite ure what kind of answer that gave us, just if you're running things on intel chips, or that you're using the x86 version. | 18:49 |
| martijn81 | sep1318: yeah i found out | 18:50 |
| garri | same, nothing happened... | 18:50 |
| sep1318 | martijn81: cool. | 18:50 |
| solifugus | How can I uninstall vim-tiny so I can install vim-full ?? (using apt-get) | 18:51 |

| uman_ | Hi guys. My mobo got fried so i transferred my hdds to another pc. (my old pc had an nvidia gfx card with nvidia dfrivers, this new pc only has onboard graphics from ATI, with ati drivers now) Unfortunately this new box with ubuntu 8.10 does not receognize my usb cable modem.. it does not even show if i use the lsusb command. What could the problem be, are there any usb drivers i can uninstall/reinstall/install or go down to another kernel. Ps, other usb | 18:56 |
| uman_ | [13:54] <uman_> devices (mouse, flash drives, ipod) work fine.. Thanks. Im really lost here . Also, i get an error with the network interface eth2 which used to be my cablemodem, it says SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device when i click a network icon on the taskbar. thanks | 18:56 |
| mefisto__ | garri: cat /proc/asound/modules should show you 2 lines, with 0 youraudigy card and 1 snd_hta_intel | 18:56 |
| rts | uman: nothing in dmesg either? and.. you know the device is ok? | 18:57 |
| Xand3r | hey ho | 18:58 |
| garri | 0 snd_hda_intel | 18:58 |
| garri | 1 snd_ca0106 | 18:58 |
| Xand3r | how kan i programming VirsualBasic on Kubuntu? | 18:58 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, we can try another way to set default sound cards if you want | 18:58 |
| downhill_ | Xand3r: by learning a real programming language | 18:59 |
| rts | Xand3r: sigh...... | 18:59 |
| downhill_ | Xand3r: visual basic is a Windows thing :p | 18:59 |
| Xand3r | downhill_: i know that | 18:59 |
| uman_ | rts dont know how to use dmesg.. could you help me please. yes, i know the device is fine, it still works on another pc | 18:59 |
| garri | mefiesto...if that will fix the issue then sure thing :D | 18:59 |
| rts | hmm wonder if you can wine VB | 18:59 |
| Xand3r | and i realy hate it | 18:59 |
| rts | hehe | 18:59 |
| mefisto__ | garri: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 18:59 |

| mega | sorry the problem is that im stuck at 640x480 | 19:01 |
| Xand3r | downhill_: a solution, but i tought there could be som nativ stuff, thx | 19:01 |
| mefisto__ | garri: and at the end of that file, add this (on a line on its own) options snd_ca0106 index=0 | 19:01 |
| downhill_ | Xand3r: sorry bud | 19:01 |
| rts | Xand3r: looks like you may be able to install VB2005 express using wine | 19:01 |
| Xand3r | ok thx | 19:01 |
| uman_ | rts? | 19:01 |
| Xand3r | thx rts | 19:01 |
| downhill_ | i'd consider schoolwork mission critical, and therefor put wine out of the scope :p | 19:01 |
| mefisto__ | garri: and under that line, another one with: options snd_hda_intel index=1 | 19:02 |
| rts | sorry, bad name eh | 19:02 |
| downhill_ | garri: I gotta take off (like a half hour ago), mefisto__ is giving good advice tho ;) | 19:02 |
| downhill_ | good luck! | 19:02 |
| rts | Xand3r: good luck | 19:02 |
| garri | okay thanks downhill | 19:02 |
| Xand3r | thx thx | 19:02 |
| Xand3r | c ya | 19:02 |
| garri | uhm...how can i write those lines...i can't wri on the shell | 19:03 |

| rts | uman1: maybe you can get some hints with "dmesg | grep usb" | 19:05 |
| garri | wow i think i lost you... | 19:05 |
| uman1 | rts, yeah, im looking at it... there are some errors there but nothing about a motorola cable modem... | 19:06 |
| rts | uman1: others much more knowledgeable than me might find those entries interesting | 19:06 |
| rts | uman1: but maybe you can narrow down what port its on, and see what it thinks is there | 19:07 |
| mefisto__ | garri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116157/ maybe it's easier to follow that way? | 19:08 |

| mefisto__ | ali__: you need to make a mountpoint first (a folder where the files will appear) | 19:10 |
| ali__ | I have got file located it /home/ali/Documents/Work/Linux CBT | 19:12 |
| ali__ | and the file name is linuxcbt-rh9-classic-01.iso | 19:12 |
| ali__ | what will be the exact command to mount this ... file....... i used to do in windows using DEAMON TOOLS | 19:12 |
| ali__ | okey how to make mountpoint......... | 19:12 |
| ali__ | just creat a new folder ? right click , Create new.... | 19:12 |
| mefisto__ | ali__: sudo mkdir /media/linuxCBT will make a folder in /media | 19:12 |
| garri | mefisto...the problem that i have is as follows...the shell lists up a lot of information... i don't have the garri@silence thingy that is usually...so i don't know exacly where to type these commands | 19:13 |
| mefisto__ | garri: are you in nano now? | 19:13 |
| garri | the shell or terminal or what ever you call it :P i'm a complete newbie | 19:14 |
| mefisto__ | garri: does it say GNU nano in top-left corner? | 19:14 |
| garri | yes, GNU nano 2.0.7 | 19:15 |
| mefisto__ | garri: and the file (at the top) says /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base ? | 19:15 |
| clara | #valencia | 19:15 |
| ali_ | need urgent help | 19:18 |
| ali_ | I have run the command sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:18 |
| ali_ | and it took quite a time downloading stuff... | 19:18 |
| ali_ | now when i write sudo apt-get install kde-nightly to update rom KDe 3.5 to 4.2 it says E: Couldn't find package kde-nightly | 19:18 |
| RurouniJones | Howdy all, anyone know how I can get multiple KDE logins running at the same time? Like how at the moment you can use CTRL+ALT+F6 which switches your to a command prompt, how can I make that another KDE instance? (For example, to run a wine game which doesn't like being minimiseD) | 19:19 |
| garri | mefisto, i don't know, really...here is what it says ... http://slexy.org/view/s20sQiuR1r | 19:19 |
| mefisto__ | garri: that looks like the right file. it should tell you at the top, after GNU nano 2.0.7, which file you are editing (should be /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base) | 19:21 |
| garri | yes...sorry, i saw what you ment.... hahaha...i'm a complete idiot | 19:22 |
| mefisto__ | garri: scroll to the end of that file with PageDown or the down arrow and add the last 2 lines here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116157/ | 19:22 |
| edgy | Hi, any one manage to configure dIMAP with google? I did but each time I delete a message from my inbox it's retrieved again! | 19:23 |
| garri | okay, i have done that...what now? when i press enter the line just goes down (the blinking part) but nothing happens that I can tell | 19:24 |
| mefisto__ | garri: the stuff at the very bottom of that window tells you the keyboard commands. ^X will exit, but will ask you first if you want to save the changes. answer yes, and let it save to the same filename (/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base) | 19:26 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ^X means ctrl+X sorry | 19:27 |
| venik212 | I cannot find JRE for kubuntu 64 bits | 19:27 |
| venik212 | also, when I reboot, the machine is often stuck in "Opening bluetooth"... and cannot continue | 19:28 |
| garri | http://slexy.org/view/s200klSssm which one should i select? | 19:28 |
| garri | so many options!! | 19:28 |
| venik212 | HP Pavillion desktop, Kubuntu 8.10, kde 4.1.2 | 19:29 |
| garri | to files or dos format? | 19:29 |
| garri | or anything else? | 19:29 |
| mefisto__ | garri: just enter, and it will save to that filename File Name to Write: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 19:29 |
| garri | okay...done :D | 19:30 |
| garri | what next? | 19:30 |
| ali_ | cant i install KDE 4.2 on Kubuntu 8.04 ? | 19:31 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, the easiest way is to just reboot, but if you don't want to right now for some reason, there are commands we can try. it's up to you | 19:31 |
| clara | #terra | 19:31 |
| garri | okay, i'll try rebooting... anything special i should check right after i get back ? | 19:32 |
| garri | i'll just come back on here :D | 19:32 |
| hans | how can i install all the packages that will be installed when an upgrade from 4.1 to kde 4.2 is done? | 19:32 |
| mefisto__ | garri: well you should have the audigy card set as the first (default) soundcard so sound will hopefully work normally on every boot from now on | 19:33 |
| garri | where do i do that? sorry i know i'm annoying :P | 19:33 |
| hans | i had problems when i have done the upgrade.. -> unsolved dependencies. and now i had to install kde-window-manager manually. | 19:33 |
| garri | in Kmix or amarok? | 19:34 |
| hans | Other packages also seem to be not installed when i have done that upgrade.. for example the note-plasmoid doesn work | 19:34 |
| mefisto__ | garri: cat /proc/asound/modules should show you the reverse of what it did the first time. that is, 0 should be snd_ca0106 and 1 should be snd_hda_intel | 19:35 |
| garri | 0 snd_hda_intel | 19:35 |
| garri | 1 snd_ca0106 | 19:35 |
| garri | hmm? | 19:35 |
| mefisto__ | garri: yep, after reboot, hopefully they will be the other way around | 19:35 |
| garri | ahh okay...let's find out :D | 19:36 |
| mefisto__ | ali_: what do you have now? 8.04 hardy, or 8.10 intrepid? | 19:37 |
| venik212 | am I the only one with this "starting bluetooth" bug? | 19:37 |
| venik212 | (64 bit Kubuntu 8.10) | 19:37 |
| garri | wow...sound worked on reboot!!! | 19:40 |
| mefisto__ | venik212: is there any bluetooth hardware you can disable in bios? if you don't need bluetooth, that is | 19:40 |
| garri | what was the command line again? | 19:40 |
| mefisto__ | garri: cat /proc/asound/modules | 19:40 |
| garri | YES!!!! | 19:40 |
| venik212 | I do not need bluetooth, but I believe that some USB stuff works with the bluetooth software, and USB I do need | 19:40 |
| garri | you my friend, is a genius | 19:41 |
| hans | how can i install all the packages that will be installed when an upgrade from 4.1 to kde 4.2 is done? | 19:41 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ideally kubuntu would have a simple gui with something like a drop-down menu to choose your preferred soundcard | 19:41 |
| === root is now known as Guest7327 | ||
| mefisto__ | garri: tried amarok yet? | 19:42 |
| garri | hehe...well, kubuntu doesn't have a bunch of programmers working 8 hour shifts on payroll | 19:42 |
| garri | hmm...now amarok doesn't play sound | 19:43 |
| mefisto__ | garri: look in amarok config, engine. set it to alsa and try again | 19:44 |
| garri | xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers. | 19:45 |
| mefisto__ | garri: you get that message when you change to alsa, or when you try to play? | 19:46 |
| garri | when i click apply | 19:47 |
| garri | also when i click on play | 19:47 |
| venik212 | any ideas regarding my bluetooth issue? I think this was a known bug years ago, but it is very much alive in my machine | 19:50 |
| mefisto__ | garri: does this return anything: ls .xine | 19:52 |
| garri | catalog.cache config | 19:52 |
| mefisto__ | garri: mv .xine/config .xine/config.backup | 19:53 |
| garri | nothing | 19:54 |
| mefisto__ | garri: then close amarok (right-click the icon in the taskbar) and start it again, try to change engine to alsa | 19:54 |
| garri | it started on alsa and the se error message | 19:55 |
| garri | se=same | 19:55 |
| BorkisDrizzt | now this was more like it | 19:55 |
| BorkisDrizzt | why is there only 9 people in #ubuntu? | 19:55 |
| mefisto__ | garri: in the engine settings, are you able to edit ALSA Device Configuration, or is it greyed out? | 19:57 |
| garri | i can edit it | 19:58 |
| mefisto__ | garri: does it say default for mono and stereo? | 19:59 |
| garri | yes | 19:59 |

| garri | what's that? | 20:03 |

| garri | seems not like it ?? | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | garri: sudo apt-get install amarok-xine | 20:07 |
| garri | okay, seems it's reinstalled | 20:09 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok give it a try. hopefully you can use alsa now | 20:09 |

| garri | bloody hell... | 20:10 |
| mefisto__ | garri: have you added the medibuntu repository? | 20:11 |
| garri | i don't even know what that is... | 20:11 |
| mefisto__ | garri: I guess not then :) we could try that. it has a newer version of amarok-xine than the official ubuntu repository which is what you have now | 20:12 |
| garri | okay :D | 20:13 |
| mefisto__ | garri: go to http://www.medibuntu.org/ and click the "repository howto" link. follow the instructions for Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" | 20:14 |

| garri | hehehe...the last message in the shell was OK, si i think that one worked out just fine :) | 20:29 |
| anger | I'd just need to create a simple dvd-menu and convert dv-videos imported from my videocamera to dvd format | 20:29 |
| mefisto__ | garri: you seem to also still have the kubuntu cdrom as a source. that should have been disabled after you installed | 20:30 |
| garri | really? weird... | 20:30 |
| garri | i don't have the cd in the rom anymore | 20:31 |

| pyrimid | hey all, don't know if this has been addressed before, but I've seen a lot of people having the same problem updating to kde 4.2 from 4.1.5 when aptitude tries to install the window manager before plasma3 and subsequently cancels the update with a broken window manager | 20:35 |
| pyrimid | so when they log in to a new session the task manager won't work and the windows are all fullscreen | 20:35 |
| garri | do i then do ctrl save? | 20:35 |
| pyrimid | I wonder if this should be addressed on the kubuntu.org 4.2 announcement | 20:36 |
| garri | i ment exit and save? | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrimid: ive seen that a lot too | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrimid: i get them to reinstall the kwin again | 20:36 |
| pyrimid | is there a way I can email whoever maintains the kubuntu.org blog? | 20:36 |
| pyrimid | action: yeah, that worked for me too but not before I needlessly did a fresh install | 20:37 |
| pyrimid | :) | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrimid: thats why we have live cd to go online to find out, then fix once we know whats what | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrimid: it can be avoided if you use force-all when distro upgrading ;) | 20:38 |
| pyrimid | you learn something new every day | 20:38 |
| D-Master_Alex | Is there a way to find out what the IP address Kubuntu is using? | 20:39 |
| D-Master_Alex | I know in Windows it is ipconfig. | 20:39 |

| pyrimid | ifconfig | 20:39 |
| D-Master_Alex | Thank you, | 20:39 |

| ActionParsnip | anger: apt-cache search dvd | 20:40 |
| anger | AvtionParsnip, it's quite good but not very handy for large number of files | 20:40 |
| anger | plus it won't for some reason open some of the dv-files | 20:40 |
| anger | I have tried almost all the apps I found with search dvd, all seem to be buggy or not able to read dv-files | 20:41 |

| garri | lol...sorry about that...i'm guessing my fault...hahaha | 20:42 |
| MrInternet | .....fsck. :/ | 20:43 |
| Lugia010719d1 | yay for netsplit | 20:43 |
| mefisto__ | garri: so did you save that edit with # in front of the cdrom line? | 20:43 |
| MrInternet | Yeah... uhm. 4.9... gb... being uninstalled.... why? | 20:43 |
| MrInternet | Uhm. Can someone save me from apt's rampage of destruction? I've stopped it with ^S, but... | 20:43 |
| garri | yes sir : | 20:44 |
| ward_ | ^C ? | 20:44 |
| ward_ | ctrl+c | 20:44 |
| MrInternet | Yes, but after that? :P | 20:44 |

| ActionParsnip | MrInternet: from what you said it sounds ideal, whats the state of your system | 20:47 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, now to upgrade amarok and its xine engine, sudo apt-get upgrade | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | MrInternet: you could always sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 20:47 |
| mefisto__ | garri: it might also upgrade other things | 20:47 |

| garri | :) | 21:01 |
| Lugia010719d1 | Jpedroza, Actionparsnip: Ok, thanks.. I havent seen AviDemux yet, only AVIMuxGui, which is for something different (yay i have chaos in the avi*mux* apps).. I only have Audacity so far, which seems to be only for sound.. Ideal would be something like SoundForge 9 (Windows), which is emulable, but can not open a video under WIne, and the generated sound graph seems to be desynchronized from the actual sound when playing and editing | 21:01 |
| J_A_X | hey guys. having some problems to stretch a dual screen wallpaper over both desktops | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Lugia010719d1: its another option | 21:01 |
| J_A_X | heard someone say something about sharing the wallpaper plugin over both containers, anyone know how to do that/ | 21:02 |
| garri | mefisto__: any ideas on what to do next? | 21:05 |
| mefisto__ | garri: did you sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 21:06 |
| garri | yes with out problems it seems | 21:07 |
| oskar_ | !plasmapkg | 21:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about plasmapkg | 21:07 |
| oskar_ | How can I find out what package contains plasmapkg? | 21:08 |
| garri | but amarok is still showing the same error message | 21:08 |
| mefisto__ | garri: did you notice if amarok or amarok-xine were updated? | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | oskar_: apt-file search plasmapkg | 21:09 |
| oskar_ | ActionParsnip: thankyou. | 21:09 |
| oskar_ | ActionParsnip: is it possible to do with aptitude somehow? | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | oskar_: you need apt-file to find individual files in packages, apt-cache search can be used to search package names and descriptions | 21:11 |

| mefisto__ | garri: ok that's something. do this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:16 |
| J_A_X | how do I uninstall all plasmoids? | 21:17 |
| Lugia010719d1 | hmm seems Ardour could be what i am looking for.. as I dont need to edit video, but only the sound, so that it synces with the video | 21:18 |
| mefisto__ | Lugia010719d1: you're going to need to use jack audio with that. you might want to install qjackctl to make it easier to manage | 21:19 |
| Lugia010719d1 | well adept is auto-installing a pack named jackd.. | 21:20 |
| mefisto__ | Lugia010719d1: if you just need to nudge the sound track left or right, avidemux might be more straightforward | 21:20 |
| mefisto__ | Lugia010719d1: jackd is the daemon. qjackctl is a gui to control and configure it | 21:21 |
| Lugia010719d1 | well i more like need to find several points in the sound where it desynchronizes, in one delete a few miliseconds of sound, at another insert seversl ms of silence, and check it with a video playback | 21:22 |
| garri | okay i need to reboot now... brb | 21:22 |
| sn00zer | Does anybody know how to start x11vnc if you aren't already logged into an X session but kdm is running? | 21:23 |
| garri | damn it...still the same message in amarok | 21:27 |
| mefisto__ | garri: you could try creating a new user, log out, log in as the new user and see if the problem is still there | 21:28 |
| mefisto__ | garri: sudo adduser <the-new-username> if you want to try that | 21:31 |
| arkygeek | hi all | 21:31 |
| arkygeek | I just upgraded from hardy to intrepid. I was using kubuntu with kde4.1 but now thats broken and all i can use is gnome. I am oko with that, but i want to remove kde/kubuntu totally and then reinstall it. a lot of stuff i need is based on it's libs (kdevelop, kile, etc) so i need it to work. as it is, they don't work... | 21:32 |
| garri | should the new user name be within the < > ? | 21:33 |
| arkygeek | i tried sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --purge but that doesn't do it. it removes a very small package and thats all.... | 21:33 |
| arkygeek | any ideas? | 21:33 |
| mefisto__ | garri: don't use the < > just the username you want, after adduser | 21:33 |

| arkygeek | mefisto__: but I shall forge on with that... | 21:37 |
| Megatherium | meh. kde4 is still lacking kde-guidance | 21:37 |
| mefisto__ | arkygeek: you could try upgrading to kde 4.2 first | 21:37 |
| arkygeek | too late :P | 21:38 |
| arkygeek | hehe | 21:38 |
| * arkygeek is kde-free now | 21:38 | |
| garri | i can play music on amarok with the new user log in...but it is on autodetect...not alsa | 21:38 |
| mefisto__ | arkygeek: well that should now make the 4.2 upgrade flawless :) | 21:38 |
| arkygeek | !kde | 21:39 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

| mefisto__ | garri: and if you specify alsa? | 21:39 |
| arkygeek | mefisto__: that ^^^^ will do it then? | 21:39 |
| garri | how do i do that? | 21:39 |
| mefisto__ | arkygeek: http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 for instructions | 21:39 |
| garri | and when i switch to autodetect on amarok on my normal account the sound starts again!! | 21:39 |
| arkygeek | thx :-) | 21:40 |
| mefisto__ | garri: switch amarok from autodetect to alsa, in the engine config | 21:40 |
| garri | now i have sound on amarok on my normal log in...and on the internet and videos | 21:40 |
| garri | okay wait | 21:40 |
| garri | again the same old error message | 21:41 |
| ekabongo | can anyone help me get ati working? | 21:42 |
| garri | but on the new log in name, i can switch to aa on amonrokand play music with no problem at all | 21:44 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, if you want to delete that user, log back in as your normal user and: sudo deluser username-you-are-removing | 21:44 |
| garri | thats weird | 21:44 |
| garri | no it's all right... | 21:44 |
| garri | but what's this all about then? | 21:44 |
| garri | why can i use alsa on the new user and not my normal old? | 21:45 |
| mefisto__ | garri: so alsa does work in the new user? | 21:45 |
| garri | yes | 21:45 |
| garri | i just checked | 21:45 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, then the problem is something in your home directory. the new user creates a new one. | 21:46 |
| garri | okay...that will be a mess to figgure that one out | 21:46 |
| mefisto__ | garri: some setting that you could track down by elimination. or you could just start again with a new user if that's easier for you | 21:46 |
| garri | how do i eliminte? what am i looking for? | 21:48 |
| mefisto__ | garri: kde programs store most of their settings in /home/your-username/.kde | 21:49 |
| garri | okay...how do i proceed? | 21:49 |
| mefisto__ | garri: you're logged in with the new user now? | 21:50 |
| garri | no, the old one | 21:50 |
| ekabongo | i have an ati 200m | 21:50 |
| ekabongo | supposedly the fglrx driver is installed | 21:51 |
| ekabongo | i'm not so sure of that | 21:51 |
| ekabongo | glxgears won't run | 21:51 |
| mefisto__ | garri: ok, rename the .kde folder in your home dir. (it will be hidden normally, since it begins with a . ) | 21:51 |
| mefisto__ | garri: if you want to do it in konsole: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.backup | 21:52 |
| garri | okay i renamed it, but it just popped up another folder with the new name and the old one still exists | 21:53 |
| garri | cool stuff | 21:53 |
| mits_ | if i convert an ext3 partition to ext4 without extents, i shouldn't have problems reading it from windows (+ext2fsd) right? | 21:54 |
| garri | what next? | 21:55 |
| mefisto__ | garri: probably should have done the rename when not logged in, but never mind. try amarok now | 21:56 |
| garri | okay...same error message | 21:58 |
| mefisto__ | garri: lets try logging out and removing it outside of kde (but you will have to remember or write down the commands to type, as you will just have a text only terminal and no Konversation) | 22:00 |
| garri | hmm...that sounds scary | 22:00 |
| garri | i should call a friend and have him located here when doing that hahaha :P ... | 22:01 |
| mefisto__ | garri: log out, and then ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a terminal, where you can log in with your normal user/password. then type this: rm .kde | 22:01 |
| garri | what does that do? | 22:02 |
| mefisto__ | garri: then ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to the graphical login, and do the login | 22:02 |
| garri | okay wait... | 22:02 |
| mefisto__ | garri: that removes the new .kde folder that got created when we renamed the original one | 22:02 |
| mefisto__ | garri: no, wrong command | 22:03 |
| mefisto__ | garri: should be rm -r .kde | 22:04 |
| downhill_ | uh oh, still working on that? heh | 22:04 |
| downhill_ | should be rm -rf | 22:04 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: got it working, but not with amarok. but amarok works with alsa in a new user, so trying to find the culprit now in .kde | 22:06 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: ah. that *is* strange :) | 22:10 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: if I may... try killing ~/.xine | 22:10 |
| downhill_ | it's magically fixed amarok for me numorous times, just a stab in the dark, but honestly, who sits and makes custom configs for xine now days? ;) | 22:11 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: tried killing ~/.xine/config but it made no difference. I vaguely remember finding amarok's xine config somewhere else apart from .xine, somewhere in .kde | 22:12 |
| garri | well, i have no idea if i did the right thing...damn | 22:12 |
| garri | hehehe hi downhill :P | 22:12 |
| mefisto__ | garri: I gave you the wrong command, did you get the correction before you left? | 22:12 |
| mefisto__ | garri: should have been rm -r .kde (or rm -rf .kde) | 22:13 |
| garri | yeah...but i may have been impatient... | 22:13 |
| garri | what is the diffiernce with the f ? | 22:13 |
| mefisto__ | f = force | 22:14 |
| mefisto__ | rm --help will explain the options | 22:14 |
| downhill_ | read teh man page | 22:14 |
| tekteen | f = do as I say. Do not question me | 22:14 |
| garri | how do i see if it worked....it said some things and had dots behind it... and i got impatience and hit some key and i think i messed it up | 22:15 |
| downhill_ | O_o | 22:15 |
| garri | tekteen: hehe...nice to know, i shall try that f command next | 22:15 |
| downhill_ | garri: waaait | 22:16 |
| garri | wait....i'll try it again | 22:16 |
| downhill_ | what command did you run *exactly*? | 22:16 |
| garri | what? | 22:16 |
| downhill_ | character-for-character, what did you put in? | 22:16 |
| garri | rm -r .kde | 22:16 |
| downhill_ | hmm | 22:16 |
| downhill_ | to be safe, you *should* be doing: rm -rf ~/.kde | 22:16 |
| garri | it seemed nothing whappening...said something then a few dots | 22:16 |
| tekteen | garri: rm normally asks you are you sure for protected files. f tells it to just do it | 22:16 |
| garri | okay | 22:17 |
| downhill_ | UNIX-like OSes really mess up when you don't specify absolute paths sometimes | 22:17 |
| garri | this is getting scary... | 22:17 |
| === kokteyl is now known as KokteyL | ||
| downhill_ | it should be if you're running rm... | 22:18 |
| downhill_ | it's not a command to just toss around... why are you even in the CLI anyway? why not simply log in and do it that way? | 22:18 |
| downhill_ | it's like a bazillion times easier and more intuitive | 22:18 |
| garri | hmm...i don't know :P | 22:19 |
| * downhill_ shrugs | 22:21 | |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: that was my suggestion. removing/renaming .kde while logged in to kde didn't quite do it | 22:22 |
| garri | brb | 22:22 |
| downhill_ | erm, what happened, mefisto__? | 22:22 |
| vir-- | Hi, when i try to install plasmoid-xbar i get a error saying that libplasma2 is needed but not found. Have had it like that for a week now on two computers. Is there any known workaround? cant find anything on it on google :/ | 22:23 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: I got him to rename .kde in gui, it immediately created a new one, no difference | 22:23 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: that's expected and correct. it's probably ~/.xine then | 22:23 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: maybe get him to remove the whole .xine dir. although we tried removing .xine/config which was the only file there | 22:24 |
| kaddi | i have a problem with my widgets: they all stick in the middle of my desktop | 22:24 |
| downhill_ | O_o | 22:25 |
| kaddi | if i drag them to the left or right they jump right back into the middle | 22:25 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: well if it isn't the driver, and it isn't the alsa settings, and it isn't amarok's config, and apparently not xine's config... wtf could it possibly be? O_o | 22:25 |
| downhill_ | buggy driver? | 22:25 |
| downhill_ | I mean it's kinda come full-circle at this point, hasn't it? | 22:25 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: but it works in a new user! | 22:25 |
| downhill_ | oh true | 22:25 |
| kaddi | how can i position them where i want them to be? | 22:25 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: move data to /home/backup with root, remove the user, create the user, reconfigure everything by hand, move in the personal data ;) ;) ;) | 22:26 |
| downhill_ | maybe it's ~/.asoundrc | 22:26 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: I suppose garri could have made an error along the way, not difficult to do if you're following orders and not understanding what's happening | 22:26 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: the system is fine once you understand it and/or develop some methodology that works, but until that point... *yikes* :) | 22:27 |
| downhill_ | anywho, I agree with what you're advising here... it's just getting to be a long process now I imagine, eh? | 22:28 |
| downhill_ | wish sound was easier on Linux >.< | 22:28 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: oh yes | 22:28 |
| mefisto__ | it's a mess | 22:28 |
| downhill_ | unfortunately. | 22:28 |
| downhill_ | besides those little niche apps, it's one of the major things holding it's users back; forget all the "year of linux on the desktop" bs arguments, I just want sound to work for the people who *do* use Linux | 22:29 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: are you a fan of X.org? | 22:30 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: not particularly. it was a headache when I was new to command line, but editing xorg.conf taught me a lot :) | 22:31 |
| kaddi | anyone for the widget issue? | 22:32 |
| downhill_ | mefisto__: well after hearing Keith whatshisface's talk about the state of all the development stuff (read: very experimental code), I figured it's worth a shot to check out some of the latest stuff and see how far I get... | 22:32 |
| downhill_ | X.org stuff, that is. kernel, GEM, libdrm2, libdri2, etc. | 22:33 |
| downhill_ | sad part is, and I don't know dink about this, I just heard it, I guess the fglrx and nvidia drivers won't be supported kernel mode setting and friends anytime soon >.< | 22:33 |
| downhill_ | supporting* | 22:34 |
| mefisto__ | you could try it in a separate partition I suppose. maybe it will "just work" ? | 22:35 |
| downhill_ | that's what I'm doing | 22:35 |
| downhill_ | my was-Windows partition of 200GB is now my "let's see how f-ed up I can make my display" partition :p | 22:35 |
| downhill_ | what kind of graphics card do you have? | 22:36 |
| mefisto__ | downhill_: just an onboard ati, nothing special | 22:37 |
| downhill_ | 3200? 3300? | 22:37 |
| mefisto__ | X1250 I think | 22:37 |
| alarm | hello, i am experiencing a problem with firefox. firefox and facebook actually . most of the images on my facebook account do not open at all (neither the thumbnails) , and all i can see are the comments. | 22:37 |
| downhill_ | ah ok | 22:37 |
| alarm | first thing i did was to erase all temporary files, but still not fixed. and to make it sure, it tried Konqueror which just worked fine | 22:37 |
| alarm | i know its a firefox-relevant topic, but thought that i could have to do with ubuntu maybe | 22:37 |
| downhill_ | I had an HD3870X2 but I swapped it with a relative's HD3650 because they do a whole lot more gaming than me these days | 22:38 |
| downhill_ | should work better that way anyway | 22:38 |
| downhill_ | alarm: #firefox :) | 22:38 |
| downhill_ | you guessed right, hehe | 22:38 |
| alarm | looks like everyone is sleeping :) | 22:39 |
| downhill_ | more or less | 22:39 |
| alarm | btw, what does the firefox metapackage do ? | 22:40 |
| mefisto__ | alarm: try starting firefox in safe mode to disable extensions, see if it works that way. firefox -safe-mode | 22:40 |
| alarm | okie | 22:40 |
| alarm | i will give that a try , thank you :) | 22:40 |
| mefisto__ | if you have any extensions installed, that is | 22:41 |
| Walzmyn | Is 4.2 in the standard repo for janunty or just the PPA? | 22:41 |
| alarm | actually by runnign firefox i noticed errors on the console | 22:41 |
| Walzmyn | alarm, a meta package will grab other packages - so firefox will grab firefox 3 | 22:41 |
| alarm | (npviewer.bin:21702): Gtk-WARNING | 22:41 |
| alarm | i will check whats wrong with it. maybe that is causing the problems | 22:42 |
| downhill_ | alarm: highly unlikely | 22:42 |
| alarm | Walzmyn, you confused me :) | 22:42 |
| downhill_ | npviewer is probably nspluginwrapper running 32-bit flash^ | 22:42 |
| MidnightDevil | hey duds :) | 22:42 |
| musical | hi folks | 22:43 |
| MidnightDevil | my kde desktop is kinda heavy and sluggish.. im using nvidia drivers (activated) .. any tips? i have a amd 4800 X2 with a 8600 GTS | 22:43 |
| downhill_ | unless of course these images are in flash :p | 22:43 |
| mefisto__ | alarm: did facebook load ok in safemode? | 22:43 |
| downhill_ | MidnightDevil: update to the 180 series drivers. | 22:43 |
| alarm | mefisto__, i am trying give me a second | 22:43 |
| MidnightDevil | downhill_: manually or through ubuntu tools? | 22:44 |
| downhill_ | btw AMD doesn't make a 4800 X2, nor can you run both of them at the same time | 22:44 |
| MidnightDevil | what? | 22:44 |
| Walzmyn | alarm, a meta package is not an application it just pulls in other packages - for instance the KDE-Games meta package will install about 50 other packages that are applications for games | 22:44 |
| downhill_ | MidnightDevil: by "manually" I mean via the repos, so adept or apt-get | 22:44 |
| MidnightDevil | ok | 22:44 |
| downhill_ | MidnightDevil: @ the latter, I'm saying you're not making any sense with the hardware info | 22:44 |
| alarm | ok got it :) | 22:45 |
| MidnightDevil | downhill_: i gave ya the cpu info.. which is a amd 4800 :) | 22:45 |
| alarm | mefisto__, yeap problem remains | 22:45 |
| downhill_ | MidnightDevil: oh athlon64 X2 4800+, ok | 22:45 |
| downhill_ | sorry, misunderstood :p | 22:45 |
| alarm | but get several firefox errors that i will check one by one | 22:45 |
| alarm | ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libartsdsp.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. for example this one | 22:45 |
| MidnightDevil | tks :) brb | 22:46 |
| downhill_ | alarm: open a terminal please, cd to wherever your firefox install is and ./firefox-bin | 22:46 |
| downhill_ | 'cuz it sounds like it's trying to load stuffs you really do not want nor need | 22:47 |
| alarm | ok hold on i think i might have found it | 22:47 |
| downhill_ | mmm? | 22:47 |
| alarm | found it | 22:47 |
| thiago__ | hi there, i followed the instruction at kubuntu.org for installing KDE 4.2, but after installation, I could login but the keyboard was not working and also there were no window borders... any clue anyone? thanks in advance... | 22:47 |
| downhill_ | alarm: do tell :) | 22:47 |
| alarm | for some reason a whole url of facebook was added in the blocklist of firefox | 22:47 |
| downhill_ | still odd that it's trying to load arts, alarm. | 22:48 |
| alarm | didnt think of it. just went through preferences to see any kind of restrictions | 22:48 |
| downhill_ | thiago__: kwin isn't running. you could try going into your user directory from a terminal or something and removing the kwinrc files | 22:49 |
| alarm | no clue | 22:49 |
| downhill_ | thiago__: like in ~/.kde/share/config/kwin* | 22:49 |
| alarm | at least now i found out :) | 22:49 |
| thiago__ | hmmm, thanks, I'll try that | 22:49 |
| downhill_ | alarm: indeed =D | 22:49 |
| alarm | thank you for helping though :) | 22:49 |
| downhill_ | hah it was all you | 22:50 |
| downhill_ | I'm just babbling at this point waiting for some updates to finish downloading :p | 22:50 |
| Musical | earlier today I installed KDE 4.2 over 4.1 and KDE desktop was no longer available on the menu! I had to use XFCE. After trying all sorts of "cures" I discovered that all I had to do was install kde-workspace (using synaptic) and my problem was immediately solved! | 22:50 |
| mnd999 | Hi all, I had big krita problems with the kde 4.2 upgrade - got a file clash which resulted in the upgrade half working. Then I got dependency hell and had to upgrade -f which caused a world of pain. Is this a known one? | 22:50 |
| Musical | Hope this is of help to someone | 22:51 |
| mnd999 | yes, i had the kde-workspace one as well | 22:51 |
| alarm | i am waiting for some decent application that will add automount option for external devices :) | 22:51 |
| downhill_ | Musical: moral of the story: don't remove random packages :) | 22:51 |
| Musical | didnt remove anything - it just was not installed! | 22:51 |
| Musical | :) | 22:52 |
| downhill_ | um, which release are you running? | 22:52 |
| Musical | kubuntu 8.1 | 22:52 |
| downhill_ | 8.10? | 22:52 |
| Musical | right | 22:52 |
| downhill_ | with the ppa repo, right? | 22:52 |
| Musical | correct | 22:52 |
| downhill_ | interesting =D it updated fine here | 22:52 |
| Musical | :) | 22:53 |
| mnd999 | you didnt have a package clash like me? | 22:53 |
| downhill_ | no. | 22:53 |
| Musical | just plasma | 22:53 |
| Musical | which I removed as required | 22:53 |
| downhill_ | libplasma2, right? | 22:53 |
| downhill_ | replaced by libplasma3 | 22:53 |
| mefisto__ | I also had a problem with gwenview after the 4.2 upgrade, but I just removed/reinstalled it and all was fine | 22:53 |
| downhill_ | ah that one I did have (the gwenview one) | 22:54 |
| Musical | afterwards I found I had to reinstall kate | 22:54 |
| downhill_ | same, I just removed it and told it to reinstall. | 22:54 |
| Musical | well all roads may lead to Rome..:) | 22:54 |
| downhill_ | just caught me because I updated not too long ago w/o a problem =D that's all | 22:55 |
| Musical | great | 22:56 |
| mnd999 | ahh i think i kno what i did - i didnt remove koffice-data-kde4 | 22:56 |
| kaddi | ok, is there a way to delete all settings plasma may have made to itself? I've got a complete f** up desktop and i'm not allowed to change anything | 22:56 |
| kaddi | can i just delete plasmarc? or do i need to delete more than that? | 22:56 |
| mnd999 | killing .kde would probably do it but you probably dont want to do that | 22:56 |
| Musical | my problem may have been caused because I had both KDE 3.5 amd 4 installed befor I upgraded to 8.1 | 22:56 |
| kaddi | mnd999 a bit less radical would be nice ;) | 22:57 |
| kaddi | but if there's no other way i'll delete .kde :) | 22:57 |
| mnd999 | im no expert, that would probably work, but yes there is probably a better way | 22:58 |
| downhill_ | kaddi: yeah you can just remove plasmarc and friends | 22:58 |
| kaddi | what would be "and friends"? everything with "plasma" in his name? | 22:59 |
| mnd999 | if i were you id start another X with irc in with a reliable desktop (personally i go for xterm/twm) and experiment moving the files away until it works | 22:59 |
| downhill_ | heh plasma_appletsrc or whatever | 22:59 |
| mnd999 | but downhill seems to know the answer | 22:59 |
| downhill_ | well yeah, I keep fluxbox around just for that. | 22:59 |
| kaddi | ok, yeah... going to delete those 2 files and see what happens :) | 22:59 |
| downhill_ | kaddi: moving them, as mnd999 said, is always a better option ;) | 23:00 |
| downhill_ | you can always move them back then ;) | 23:00 |
| downhill_ | brb... | 23:00 |
| kaddi | kk ;) | 23:00 |
| MidnightDevil | back | 23:00 |
| MidnightDevil | downhill_: , sorry, but how do i exacly "upgrade" to the 180 series? | 23:00 |
| kaddi | wayy better now :D | 23:04 |
| mnd999 | great | 23:04 |
| kaddi | is there a way to use window decoration with kde 4.2? | 23:05 |
| mnd999 | 4.2 upgrade seems to have killed my desktop slideshow as well and set it back to kubuntu blue | 23:06 |
| mnd999 | not sure if that a kubuntuism or a kdeism | 23:06 |
| === erwin_ is now known as vaiursch | ||
| kaddi | i had all widgets put on the same spot in the center of my desktop... not being allowed to drag them nor remove them :D | 23:07 |
| mnd999 | i only had the amarok one and it didnt work anyway so i deleted before the upgrade | 23:08 |
| ulysses__ | hy all, i want to install http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/New+Device+Notifier+with+Automount?content=91517, but i can't do it, because http://paste.ubuntu.com/116233/ | 23:08 |
| ulysses__ | can somebody help me? | 23:08 |
| kaddi | i haven't done the upgrade now.. don't know what triggered that behaviour. but i have been playing with different themes for plasma this afternoon | 23:08 |
| mnd999 | uly do you have the plasma headers? | 23:10 |
| MidnightDevil | how do i update my nvidia drivers to 1800 series? | 23:11 |
| MidnightDevil | 180* | 23:12 |
| ubuntu_ | hello | 23:12 |
| MidnightDevil | any1? :) | 23:13 |
| ghostcube | MidnightDevil, what distrie ? | 23:13 |
| MidnightDevil | ubuntu :-) | 23:13 |
| ghostcube | oo | 23:13 |
| ghostcube | intrepid ? | 23:13 |
| ulysses__ | mnd99, i have installed kdelibs5-dev, libplasma-dev, kdebase-workspace-dev, build-essential | 23:13 |
| downhill_ | MidnightDevil: just install the nvidia-glx-180 package ;) | 23:13 |
| ghostcube | just install nvidia-glx-180 | 23:13 |
| kaddi | is there a way to tell kvirc to open tabs instead of windows? | 23:14 |
| MidnightDevil | tks :-) | 23:14 |
| mnd999 | not a good idea to just install nvidias in my experience - need to check kernel is compatible first | 23:14 |
| ubuntu_ | i just installed vmware and now when i login it tries to do something then takes me back to the login screen, anything anyone | 23:14 |
| ghostcube | mnd999, ?? | 23:14 |
| eutychus | hello. i have spent the last two days trying to get kubuntu to connect to the dell aio 966. someone said that they dont make drivers for it for linux. is there a workaround or am i going to have to sell the dell for a printer that wll work with kubuntu? | 23:15 |
| ubuntu_ | so, i uninstalled in command line and its still broke | 23:16 |
| alarm | mnd999, compatibility is not an issue as long he has a new version of kubuntu | 23:16 |
| MidnightDevil | brb | 23:16 |
| alarm | i always install nvidia binaries from nvidia website. easier and less problems than from the repo | 23:17 |
| mnd999 | alarm true, but given the pain in fixing it if the kernel isnt updating properly for whatever reason it only takes 2 secs to do uname -a | 23:17 |

| ulysses__ | mnd999, what have i to install to the plasma-headers? | 23:18 |
| alarm | why shouldnt a kernel not update properly ? and reinstalling nvidia binaries is not such a big trouble | 23:18 |
| eutychus | bbl. have a good day all. | 23:18 |
| fidji | Fidji ne joue plus au Go | 23:18 |

| ubottu | fidji: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 23:19 |
| ulysses__ | i have kubuntu 8.10, kde 4.1.3 | 23:19 |
| alarm | oui oui | 23:20 |
| mnd999 | alarm - its happened to me before, grub update doesnt work and you then end up with a system booting an old kernel with new nvidia and x wont start without hacking the config | 23:20 |
| alarm | hacking ? modifying u mean :) | 23:20 |
| ghostcube | hmm if u install the nvidia package it will use the existing kernel so grub should boot up fine | 23:21 |
| ghostcube | if u install a new kernel u must choose remove menu.lst by new one | 23:21 |
| ghostcube | if not it wont work | 23:22 |
| genii | ubuntu_: I do not normally give assistance in private message, this is my policy. At any rate, return to login screen can be caused by quite a few things. The most common is that ownership of the items in home directory have shifted to root user or so | 23:22 |
| ghostcube | ubuntu_, try to add a new user and boot into this one | 23:23 |
| mnd999 | yes, modifying | 23:24 |

| ghostcube | ubuntu_, with adduser it should work yes | 23:29 |
| genii | ubuntu_: Yes, if you can do login to console session from the login screen. Then if your username is for instance George, do like: sudo chown -Rh George:George /home/George | 23:29 |
| ghostcube | to add a new user ? | 23:30 |
| ghostcube | or have i missed anything | 23:30 |
| ghostcube | :D | 23:30 |
| genii | ghostcube: His Q was: do you know why after i login it tries then takes me back to the login screen? | 23:31 |
| genii | ghostcube: Adding some user and then logging in as that successfully would likely just inform us that permissions in home dir are to blame | 23:31 |
| ghostcube | sure and its mostly the iceauthority that must be deleted | 23:32 |
| ghostcube | or any conbfigs not working | 23:32 |
| ghostcube | so a new user wont only show any rights prob | 23:32 |
| kaddi | is there a place where i could check when window decoration and/or separate backgrounds for separate desktop will bevome possible? | 23:32 |

| MidnightDevil | but still feels a little "sluggish" | 23:53 |
