mika_!sound00:12
ubottuIf 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 !MP300:12
mika_!alsa00:12
DragnslcrI believe so, but I'm not sure if the X server will distinguish between them00:12
ActionParsnipDragnslcr: thats something I can live with, the users can use different keys :)00:13
mika_helllo world00:13
mika_hey, anybody know what can it be, i have tryed to install OSS, while i'm already have alsa.... and now i don't have any sound...00:14
mika_can anybody help me?00:14
mika_heya?! anybody alive?00:14
DragnslcrActionParsnip- I have an extra USB keyboard kicking around if you want me to test it. I'm pretty sure I've done it before, though, when I had a Bluetooth keyboard that didn't always work right00:16
ActionParsnipDragnslcr: usb wired is fine, if HAL can handle it fine then thats cool00:17
ActionParsnipDragnslcr: sounds like you are up for the challenge :)00:17
DragnslcrMy extra USB keyboard is plugged in to my Wii right now00:18
DanuHi. i have pgp files, so,a question, could i burn them into a cd?00:19
DragnslcrSure, you can burn any files you want to a CD00:19

ActionParsnipDr_Willis: does it just fly on its own? is hal THAT good00:20
DanuMr. Dragnslcr thanks00:20
Dr_WillisActionParsnip,  this has worked for me - for AGES..  used to be you just set xorg.conf to  read from /dev/input/mice and it worked for all the mice..  I forget about keyboards.. but they  have worked the same way for me - for the last 3+ yeras thi way00:22
ActionParsnipi will try, dual frets on fire would be badass00:24
CrankyChipmonkindeed00:24
Dr_WillisNow having 2 seperate X sessions each with theor on keyboard.. is tougher. :)00:45
Dr_Willisbut  what you ar trying to do.. should work00:45

kaddiglad to hear that Lusid :) I'm a big fan myself ;)00:56
LusidKDE4.1 and Compiz run like a champ on my laptop with Radeon Mobility X1400. Only problem I've had thus far is with the battery module.00:57
LusidSeems a rmmod battery; modprobe battery; fixes that problem for now.00:58
LusidAnd it even runs VMware with Vista and Mac OS X fairly smoothly. I'm so damn impressed.00:58
kaddiCompiz does not want to work with me. :p but I've been spending too much time at the pub lately to be able to claim I've trierd everything :D00:59
kaddiso there probably is a solution somwhere :D00:59
gopher_I hate wifi00:59
LusidI had to upgrade my video driver, install about 10 packages or so, then set Compiz as the window manager instead of kwin... worked right off the bat.01:00
kaddiI've never tried VMWare, I'm a fan of virtualbox, which also runs pretty smoothely. Though I haven't tried OSX jet01:00
LusidThat wasn't the case when I was trying to do it with Debian... I have a new fav distro for desktop. :)01:00
kaddi:)01:00
kaddiI01:00
LusidI have heard of Virtualbox, but never looked into it... may have to do that... right... now. :)01:01
kaddiI'm running kde 4.2 which is much more reliable  than kde 4.1 for me :)01:02
ElecNinjaVirtualbox is a pretty good virtual machine software01:02
kaddii probably screwed the compiz thing up myself, when I installed compiz packages that weren't needed ;)01:02
ElecNinjaDon't know about VMWare now, but Virtualbox has quite an easy way to set up USBs and such01:02
Walzmyn_I've just upgraded to 8.10 and i'm having trouble getting the proprietary nVidia drivers installed01:03
LusidVMware worked out of the box pretty well... only thing I had to do was turn off the memory trimming feature. It was popping my CPU up to 100% for everything.01:03
LusidMight have to try Virtualbox now just to compare.01:03
LusidThanks guys. :P01:03
kaddiand girls ;)01:03
=== quassel243 is now known as genii-around
LusidThem too. :)01:04
Walzmyn_we let girls in here?  ;)01:04
gorgonizerElecNinja: do you run the ose or the non-ose version of Virtualbox?  I am assuming the non-ose version..01:04
=== gopher_ is now known as De_Gopher
kaddiah sorry... i'll be leaving.. didn't want to offend ;)01:04
* Walzmyn_ laughs01:04
LusidI knew this channel smelled good for some reason.01:04
Walzmyn_The spelling seems to be somewhat better too.01:05
kaddiare girls using *nix really that rare?01:05
ElecNinjaSorry, I don't know how to "whisper" gorgonizer, but I runned the non-ose01:05
Walzmyn_Whenever I try to install the proprietary nVidia driver it all goes heywire - is anybody else having this problem?01:06
LusidWell... I remember that in 5 years of college, I never saw a single girl in any computer science class that I had... so, yeah, to be honest. And its a damn shame.01:06
tyronehello how can i disable compiz i am using kde4.2 on ubuntu 8.1001:07
Walzmyn_kaddi, well, you take the share of girls using computers at all, shrink it by the number of people using *nix in general and then pick out the number of folks that use the chat rooms for tech support of *nix and yeah, the female population is going to be small01:07
Lusidlol01:07
Walzmyn_tyrone,  how did you enable it?01:07
LusidWhere are you from kaddi? It must be something in the water.01:07
LusidI must find this water...01:07
kaddiLusid: XD I'm from germany.01:08
Lusidkaddi: Very cool. One place I hope to visit some day. :)01:09
Walzmyn_I believe Linux is somewhat more accepted in Germany than the US01:09
Walzmyn_I'd like to visit as well01:09
kaddiLusid: but I'm probably biased... almost 95% of my friends use some sort of linux. ;) (which probably isn't the average in germany, even if it is more accepted than US.. can't tell)01:09
tyroneWalzmyn_: I started enabling plugins in the desktop system settings but i just wanna disable compiz for a while not co01:09
LusidYeah, I think times have changed. I've been hearing a lot about EU and Linux lately.01:09
kaddiOT?01:10
tyronecompletely01:10
Walzmyn_tyrone i'm not sure, sorry01:11
kaddiLusid: where are you from?01:11
Walzmyn_I was basing the linux greater in Germany bit on the fact that the US has a much larger population but it seems like every FOSS project has some german tie in, if it is not based there01:11
Lusidkaddi: Ohio, USA originally... South Florida now.01:12
cuzntglens falls ny ... represent!                         ;)01:13
Lusidkaddi: A friend of mine called me the other day to ask if her laptop has to be plugged in to work if she takes the battery out... no Linux for her. It might make her brain melt.01:13
Walzmyn_HA!01:13
kaddiLusid: nice :) Never really been to the US.. but I hope to change that one day. :)01:13
* Walzmyn_ is from Georgia, USA (now)01:14
kaddiLusid: just tell her its the new windows 8.5 she'll never know the difference ;)01:14
Lusidkaddi: Eh, it has its good and its bad, just like everywhere.01:14
LusidWalzmyn_: Nice, was thinking of moving to Marietta this year.01:14
kaddiLusid: Though in europe many people have been focussing on the bad lately. ;)01:14
Lusidkaddi: Focusing on the bad in the USA or in Europe?01:15
Walzmyn_Lusid,  that's where the in laws live - too crowded for me. i'm out in the country east/north of atlanta01:15
Lusidkaddi: Because if you are talking about the bad in the USA, yeah, trust me... I've been whining for about... 8 years now.01:16
Walzmyn_easy - there is a no politics rule here01:16
LusidWalzmyn_: Very nice. I think I get along in the city better. I need road rage to survive.01:16

mefisto__I want to dip my toe into learning programming. I'm just getting used to basic regexpr stuff now. what would be the most comfortable path for me to take from here? the regexpr syntax I'm learning are used in perl, I believe. should I try learning that first? or something like C++ ? can someone advise?01:27
kalibHow can I fix this???01:29
kalibThis DVD Video is encrypted.  To be able to watch it you will need to install libdvdcss by running from a console: sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh.  In some countries it is illegal to install the decryption software without permission from the video copyright01:29
kalibI had run the command... sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh01:30
kalibbut.. still not reproducing my dvd01:30
kaddimefisto_: i learned some programming at school: first classes I had were java, really hated it and never learned anything. Later on I had some C++ tutorials, which were really great and after that I had to work with fortran, o and python. From my experience the principal structures are quite similar (bear in mind that i don't know perl ;) ) and, if you're interested in the different languages it doesn't really depend with which language01:31
kaddiyou begin.01:31
=== koh_ is now known as RussellAlan
RussellAlanGreetings01:31
kaddithis is just me talking though, and I'm really not a guru.. just using what I learned here and there ;)01:32
RussellAlanCould someone direct me how to UPGRADE from 4.1 to 4.2 KDE01:32
mefisto__kalib: you can add the medibuntu repo to your sources and then install libcss2. anyway, instructions to do just that (watch encrypted DVDs) are at http://www.medibuntu.org/01:33
kaddiRussellAlan: check out this page: http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.201:33
mefisto__kaddi: thanks, that's just the advice I was looking for. do you know if the regexpr stuff is applicable to C++ for example?01:33
kaddimefisto__ i never used it, because i didn't even know of them. ;) but i recall using stuff like \n for breakline and similar... so i'd expect that it'll work :)01:34
kalibmefisto__, thanks.. I'll try it..01:34
kalibIt worked for you?01:35
mefisto__kalib: yes, definitely01:35
mefisto__kalib: click the repository howto link on that page01:35
kalibcan you give me the direct repo??01:36
impsHey guys, I'm running into a bit of a problem.  I have ubuntu remix running on my eee PC 1000HA01:36
kalibso i can put it on my /etc/apt/sources.list01:36
impsSome option windows are too big, I can't see the bottom of the menus01:36
impsAny work around?01:36
mefisto__kalib: it doesn't go directly in sources.list   it's explained at the website01:36
kalibok.. I'll take a look01:37
kalibthanks01:37
ostermeiwhen upgrading from kde 4.1 to 4.2 (intrepid), the instructions on the site say "Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids."... i haven't been able to find anything that says how to uninstall them01:37
mefisto__kalib: if you have trouble doing it, just come back and ask01:37
ostermeii've followed the steps on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 and ended up with an unusable system and ended up having to completely reinstall twice today01:38
mefisto__imps: you mean because the screen is just too small?01:38
kaddimefisto__ google disagrees with my earlier statement. :p  there seems to be something called  boost:regex which can be included... (really don't know though ;) )01:38
impsYes, is there a way to force the resize of the menus?01:39
kaddito use regex with C++01:39
impsIt won't let me drag the windows smaller01:39
Dr_Willisive not had to uninstall anything ostermei  -  I read that as meaning remove any  'non-kubuntu' plasmoids that you may have installed..01:39
mefisto__imps: most windows can be resized in kde/kubuntu (don't know about gnome/ubuntu) and you can also hold the alt button down and grab windows from anywhere on the window (not just the titlebar) if that helps01:41
ostermeihrm... thanks, willis.  i've been holding off on trying the upgrade again for fear of that instruction causing problems (since i've followed all the others just like they say)01:41
ostermeiguess i'll give it another shot and see what happens01:41
impsOh, I didn't know of the 'alt' button did that01:41
mefisto__imps: not sure if that applies to gnome as well, but it does in kde01:42
kalibmefisto__, ok01:42
Dr_Willisostermei,  you could try installing ubuntu, or xubuntu, then installing 4.2 without having 4.1 installed..01:42
impsIt works for this01:42
Dr_Willisostermei,  then again - you could come back if the problem happens again.. and try tio tropubhwe shoot the problems01:42
impsThanks for the help dude.  I was going crazy having to hook up my desktop moniter to change one setting.01:42
mefisto__imps: you can also use alt+right mouse button to resize windows (so you don't have to precisely grab the edges)01:43
jarcoHello, can anyone explain to me how to download/show lyrics using amarok?01:44
kalibmefisto__, it's done.. thanks ;]01:44
impsOh, thank you, I will be back later.  Havin' trouble turning off installing an app.01:44
mefisto__kalib: so dvd is working now?01:45
kaddii'm thinking about installing kdesvn to make some backups of my paperwork. Is it really worse the hassle or would a tarball with a date be suficiant? is there a tutorial somewhere?01:45
kalibmefisto__, yeah01:46
mefisto__jarco: when a song is playing, go to the context tab on the left, then the lyrics tab. it will search the song title, so if the title isn't the real name of the song, you should change the track title in amarok first01:47
jarcothx mefisto__ helped a lot01:48
mefisto__jarco: and here's a tip: tools, script manager shows the scripts you have in amarok. add wiki-lyrics and use that instead of the default one. it finds more song lyrics01:49
jarcothx mefisto__ i installed it01:50
jarcoitys in fact a huge fun thing for my sister who loves to sing along01:51
Dr_WillisMy wife sings along also.. only she just sort of makes up the words.....01:51
jarcohahahaha01:52
mefisto__kaddi: just curious, were the C++ classes at school done on windows systems?01:52

tonkajaunty alpha4 is pretty good02:13
tonkaexcept for the parts where it sucks02:13
mefisto__Walzmyn: maybe update-initramfs  too, in case something stopped the new kernel install completing properly02:14
kadditonka: which parts suck? i'm thinking about updating, would you advise against it?02:14
Walzmynthe update-grub seemed to work, but the menu didn't change02:15
Walzmynmefisto__, for my info, what is initramfs?02:15
Dr_WillisWalzmyn,  if you are brave.. you could move the menu.lst to menu.lst.BACKUP and try rerunning update-grub or there may be siome iother command we are forgetting about02:16
mefisto__Walzmyn: it's the filesystem that loads initially (into ram) during bootup, before loading your actual filesystems from disk02:17
mefisto__Walzmyn: man update-initramfs could explain it better than me, probably02:18
juliebunHello... Anyone patient to deal with a rookie?02:19
mefisto__Walzmyn: if the initramfs was not created on kernel install, that may be why update-grub is not adding the new kernel to the grub menu02:20
Dr_WillisIts better to asj the actual questiion first.. :) juliebun  and see who knows the info needed02:20
mefisto__Walzmyn: might be easier to just reinstall that last kernel02:21
juliebunOkay, I am completely new to Linux and need very specific directions on how to make my wifi and sound work.02:21
Dr_WillisThere proberly are no 'specific' directions.. it will depend on your specific hardware a great deal. :)02:22
Dr_Willisfor wireless - i would start with the fiollowing..02:22
Dr_Willis!wireless02:22
ubottuWireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs02:22
mefisto__juliebun: for the sound, first make sure nothing is muted in kmix (the speaker icon near the clock) and all the levels are up02:23
juliebunThat's another issue, mefisto. For some reason, all I have on my desktop is the blue K in the left corner... even though I set it up to show a clock, etc. There must be something up with the display, and whenever I try to adjust the display settings, the screen goes all pixely and blurry02:25
juliebun...so can't see any clocks, little icons, etc02:25
EtFbI'm back in Hardy now (Intrepid was too flakey) and I know I saw some dialog box that lets you automatically install Compiz, but it's gone now.  Anyone know where it is?02:27
Walzmynhmm, so upon further inspection, I seem to have the latest kernel and the proper grub entry, it was just titled 8.0402:27

EtFbDuh! I told it to install Compiz, then I logged out.  Now my laptop has blanked out.  It's just flashing the Caps Lock light forlornly and won't respond to keypresses.  What do I do now???02:36
mefisto__juliebun: does it show anything, or nothing at all?02:37
juliebunjust the blue K02:37
mefisto__juliebun: no, I mean in the konsole window (press enter key after pasting that command)02:38
juliebunok. It says no such file or directory02:39
juliebunI pasted: at /proc/asound/modules02:40
EtFbHmmm, now it's working.  Cool.  I suppose I should figure out how to operate it now...02:40
EtFbRight; back to work.02:40
mefisto__juliebun: you left out the "c" at the beginning. the "up" arrow will bring back that command, so do that and add the "c" at the start so it starts with "cat"02:41
juliebunok (yay)  :) It says "0 snd_via82xx02:43
juliebun1 snd_via82xx_modem02:43

jimdbi have a few (about 4) kde 4.2 installs.  on two of those there is a nice home icon and a trash icon on the desktop.  They aren't shortcuts.  does anyone know how to add them to the other computer desktops that don't have them?02:49
mefisto__juliebun: for now, can you type kmix (and enter) to start kmix02:49
juliebunmefisto, I type it in and the icon starts to bounce as if kmix is going to start, but then it doesn't appear to do anything02:50
mefisto__juliebun: does it say anything in the konsole window about errors? (don't paste it in here unless it's 1 or 2 lines)02:52
juliebunNo. When I type kmix into the konsole window, then press enter, it just comes back with the name of my laptop again... as if I hadn't typed anything02:53
mefisto__hmm02:53

mefisto__juliebun: ok, do my first suggestion, check that nothing is muted, and levels are up03:08
juliebunmefisto, nothing is muted under the VIA 8237 tab but VIA 82xx modem was muted03:09
leoHow can i upgrade to kde 4-203:10
mefisto__juliebun: that's ok. are the levels up all the way? especially master channel (if you have that) and PCM03:10
jimdbleo:  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-kde-42/03:11
juliebunmefisto, the levels are up, but still no sound03:12
mefisto__juliebun: what are you testing the sound with?03:13
juliebunThere's a welcome file in Amarok03:13
mefisto__juliebun: try this in konsole: aplay /usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav03:14
juliebunmefisto, it said it was playing the WAVE but I heard nothing03:16
mefisto__juliebun: and the physical volume on your computer is turned up? I guess that's the first thing you tried03:17
juliebunyes 100%03:18
mefisto__juliebun: in konsole, type alsamixer03:18
juliebunok...03:19
mefisto__that mixer shows the levels as numbers at the bottom of each channel. if it's muted, there will be a MM just above that03:20
mefisto__juliebun: you might need to scroll to the right to see all the channels if they don't all fit in the window03:20
mefisto__juliebun: scroll with the left-right keys03:21
juliebunOk, mefisto there's an MM above 3D Contr and Line03:21
juliebunand nothing above PCM Out03:21
mefisto__juliebun: shouldn't matter, but let's try. scroll to the muted one, and press M key to mute/unmute03:23
mefisto__juliebun: 3D contr03:23
mefisto__juliebun: unmute all of them, for that matter03:24
impsHeres the message: GSnaptics couldn't initialze.  You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86config to use GSynaptics03:24
impsI'm getting that message when I use a touchpad app03:25
mefisto__juliebun: once that's done, esc key to quit the mixer, then up arrow key until you get the aplay command to test sound again03:25
impsAnyone got a link to fix it?03:25
juliebunmefisto, it is still claiming to play the file, but I hear nothing03:26
mefisto__juliebun: I'm running out of ideas03:28
mefisto__juliebun: we can try blacklisting the modem sound so it doesn't load when you start up, but you'll need to reboot to test it03:28
juliebunI can reboot; I'm chatting on my mac whilst I mess with the linux next to me...03:29
mefisto__juliebun: kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist03:29
=== whatever is now known as Guest18587
Guest18587fdas03:30
mefisto__juliebun: and at the end of that file, on a line on its own, add this: blacklist snd_via82xx_modem03:30
aloneawhats with kde4 and checkboxes? they all end up getting cut off03:31
juliebunok. Then click save?03:31
mefisto__juliebun: then "enter" to make sure there is at least 1 blank line after that (otherwise it won't work)03:32
juliebunok03:32
mefisto__juliebun: ok, save that, then try rebooting03:32

impsMefisto, how do I set SHMconfig to true?03:34
mefisto__imps: I don't know what that is03:34
impsOh. Okey03:35
mefisto__imps: in xorg.conf see if you have an entry for the touchpad03:36
impsI am brand new to linux, do you have a tutorial on how to work with the xorg.conf?03:37
wrinkliezhey guys, any suggestions for a good plasmoid for amarok that works in 4.2?03:39
juliebunmefisto, I rebooted. Unfortunately still no sound. But thank you so much for your help. Now that I have rebooted, interstingly, there is a little globe icon visible on my desktop.03:39
mefisto__juliebun: I think that's network controls. I've never used wifi myself, but I think that's where you control that stuff03:41
=== root is now known as Guest71722

salamandraanyone know the irc for ubuntu in spanish?03:51
genii-aroundYes, #ubuntu-es03:51
mefisto__juliebun: there's a thread on ubuntuforums about your sound hardware. says they solved their sound problem by setting jumpers on the motherboard. don't know how adventurous you are about trying something like that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53054103:53
juliebunha ha okay thank you mefisto!03:54
juliebunMeanwhile, I'm googling wireless issues03:54
salamandrathanks genii-around03:54
genii-aroundsalamandra: You're welcome03:54
mefisto__juliebun: and you said graphics don't look too good? if so, look in k menu > system > hardware drivers   if there is a tickbox to enable a restricted driver, that will probably give you better results (but also might give you a blank screen on login until you fine-tune some things manually)03:56
juliebunthank you mefisto03:58
mefisto__juliebun: and ask in here about the wifi every hour or so. there's got to be someone who can help with that03:59

mefisto__juliebun: so if you have that, worth a try04:13
juliebunok how do I know if I have it?  :)04:13
mefisto__juliebun: look in kmix, or do the asamixer command and use the M key to mute it04:13
mefisto__*alsamixer04:13
juliebunok tried it and did the aplay command but still no sound... I wonder if I should just try to find an even more user-friendly version of Linux?04:18
failersa more user friendly linux then kubuntu? good luck04:19
failerskubuntu or ubuntu is as user friendly as it gets04:20

failershm where does the kmenu icon lay :P what if i wanna change its appearance05:16
mefisto__failers: locate kmenu.png   will probably tell you05:17
mefisto__failers: or use lancelot menu instead. that is configureable05:17
failersok thanks for the tip will check what lancelot menu is05:19
mefisto__always wondered why kubuntu doesn't use the kubuntu logo for the kmenu05:19
mefisto__or kickoff, as it's called now05:20

mefisto__failers: ok. I found it in 4.2 and it was already there05:22
failersah yea05:23
mefisto__you could rename the kmenu.png icon and replace it with the one you want, using the path/filename of the kmenu.png one being used05:24

macoor "washington, dc" ...the one in kde 4.205:54
macoLCD Weather Station05:55
mefisto__did you try the BBC one? that's the only one that worked for me05:56
macomefisto__: will that work for non-UK areas?05:56
zaapiel-mobilelol 4 is kinda buggy05:58

macomefisto__: yes. but...i think it's in celcius...06:00
mefisto__I think that's configureable06:00
mefisto__hmm, maybe not06:01
macomefisto__: any idea where? not in Regional settings like the rest of that sort is06:01
mefisto__I'm actually using a different weather plasmoid from someone's ppa06:02
mefisto__risky I suppose, since I don't really know what's in there or who is creating it06:02

aldo_ok06:16
mefisto__jammons_: try apt-get dist-upgrade, or apt-get -f install06:17
mefisto__jammons_: or aptitude upgrade06:17
jammons_mefisto__: I did try aptitude -f install, oh ok, I'll try that06:17
mefisto__jammons_: aptitude tends to be better at resolving problems than apt-get06:18
jammons_mefisto__: alright, I'm still getting dependency issues from packages saying that libplasma3 is required06:20
aldo_when in the part where i have to write my password i wrote ir correctly but i don't know why then the same thing get back to appear like if i haven't wrotten my password like ir it where recursive06:20
jammons_mefisto__: it looks like kdebase-plasma, kdebase-workspace-libs4+5, ksysguard, kdebase-workspace-bin06:21
aldo_now i'm on the live cd but i don't know what can i do06:21
mefisto__jammons_: I had a similar problem, but just with gwenview. I removed it, upgraded, then installed it06:21
jammons_aldo_: try going to a different tty by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 then logging in there, that will clear up any username/password issues and make sure you can log in06:22
aldo_ok06:22
jammons_aldo_: then you can try running the x-environment from there I think, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I think the command is like startx06:23
mefisto__jammons_: or you could dpkg -i --force-overwrite <path-to-the-deb-file.deb>06:23
jammons_aldo_: see if that gives you any error feedback that might be helpful06:23
jammons_mefisto__: what deb would I run that on though?06:24
jammons_mefisto__: I'm a little nervous about removing ksysguard or kdebase-workspace, any idea what that might do?06:25
mefisto__jammons_: I suppose the ones that aren't installing06:25
mefisto__jammons_: you can always reinstall them06:25
jammons_yeah, I was just hoping to avoid possibly breaking my GUI06:26
jammons_mefisto__: I'll give it a shot though06:26
mefisto__jammons_: even if you can't for some reason, you could take out the ppa repo and just reinstall the official 4.1 ones you have now06:26
jammons_mefisto__: alright06:27
mefisto__jammons_: just keep track of which ones you're removing06:27
macomefisto__: just read through the code real quick.  no obvious malware, but i didnt check for vulnerabilities (like potential for buffer overflows and such)06:27
mefisto__maco: I'm just running 4.2 in a vm, so I wasn't too worried06:28
mefisto__maybe that's a false sense of security. I'm not too sure :)06:29
jammons_mefisto__: I think I fixed it. I just manually told it to install kdeplasmoids-libs4, which for some reason it wanted to remove and it looks like it was able to configure stuff after that06:33
mefisto__jammons_: ok cool. it's like that for most people I think, juggling different packages until it all works06:34
jammons_mefisto__: I'm going to try running the aptitude upgrade now06:34
mefisto__oh, I thought you'd done it06:34
jammons_mefisto__: yeah me too06:34
jammons_mefisto__: through the GUI, but it looks like there's a bunch of stuff not updated06:35
jammons_iit must have bailed after the failure06:35
jammons_looks like it completed06:35
jammons_alright, going for the x-server restart, thanks for the help06:36
macomefisto__: er, when i put it on the panel it gets all squished06:36
mefisto__maco: oh. I don't use it on the panel06:37
macomefisto__: oh its a desktop one? :-/06:37
mefisto__maco: suppose it's desktop only. or maybe add another BIG panel somewhere and make it autohide06:38
macoso um, my desktop just turned grey. what's that mean?06:51
macotheres a narrow strip of wallpaper background at the top. i get context menu if i right click there. nothing if i right click on the grey06:52
failersanyone got kdevelop4 newest version in a .deb and can upload it?06:52
macoi think plasma did something that falls into the "wrong" category, but i dont know what. plasma's still running according to ps06:53
mefisto__maco: btw, I managed to get that weather plasmoid to fit in the panel not sure how exactly. I think I put it on desktop, configured, then dragged to panel. but it just shows an icon, no temps. if you click it, it pops up a window with details06:59

dutlerwait, what doesnt load?08:48
aldo_the kde, the screen get black and then the welcome interface appears again08:49
aldo_you know the pass and the logg is not the problem, the problem is that the sistem doesn't load08:49
dutlerok, the welcome screen is kdm.... all right, xorg and kdm works fine, but kdm cant log you into anything08:50
whyhankeealdo_: can you check 2 things? a) do you have a command in ~/.xession? b) check ~/.xsession-errors?08:51
aldo_ok08:51
aldo_let me check08:51
whyhankeeyou can try this by loggging in form the console08:51

dutlercheck the type.... can you log in via console? make sure you your not tring to do a remote session08:54
aldo_no, i'm not tring ina remote session08:55

aldo_that's right the desktop enviroment isn't loading08:55
aldo_it is not a hardware problem08:55
aldo_the only thing that laod anda load is the welcome interface where you have to wirte your pass08:56

aldo_=(08:56
dutleraldo_ with you not beingable to log in console ... i thnk something is messed up with kdm08:57
will_My problem has to do with resolution changes in the Intel based VGA chipset.08:57
whyhankeedutler: i had this once (logging in, black screen, and then back to kdm login page), in my case it was a problem with something that started from .xsession (but could be another program started from somewhere), not the problem is finding out which one, did the last lines of .xsession-errors gave you any clue?08:57
dutleri had simular sysmtoms wiht doing remote sessions.....08:58
aldo_=(08:58
dutleraldo_ checking our the .xsession-erros is a good idea08:59
aldo_=°(08:59
dutlerif you cant fig anying out, you can reinstall kdm ?08:59
aldo_i write that ".xsessions" in the console and it didn't find the order09:00

xainSometime's i get kicked out to my login screen.09:31
xainNot sure if my laptop os just a piece of crap or what.09:32
xainI didn't have this problem at all in 8.0409:32
aldo_mm09:35
aldo_so the problem is not the codecs or the program that you use09:35
xainNope.09:36
xainSomething new.09:36
xainI was using regular Ubuntu 8.04 before, now i'm on Kubuntu 8.1009:37
xainRegular audio is not effected.09:39
xainSo say....09:39

xainYoutube is not effected.09:39
xainOnly thing's on my laptop itself like dvd's, DMG file's.09:39
xainAll that good junk.09:40
xainI think it's my visual driver.09:40
xainIntel 945GMA chipset.09:40
ActionParsnip2xain: i think that uses the intel driver, or try the i81009:42
xainHello again ActionParsnip.09:43
xainI have tried to get the test version of the i810 -intel driver's, i was hit with a warning that i am not able to open the package.09:43
xainIf you cold manually walk me through on what to do i would greatly appreciate it.09:44
syockitI thought the i810 driver is going to be phased out? anyways, since it's 945gm, try intel driver09:44

xainYes.09:46
xainSo i'm screwed pretty much, haha.09:47
syockithi ct52909:47
ct529xain: what is the problem?09:47
xainI had an intel driver in 8.04 that worked correctly.09:47
syockitxain: the symptom didn't look like intel driver problem to me09:47
syockitxain: no, explain the symptom. it might not be intel driver09:47
xainOk.09:47
xainLet's say.09:47
xainI change resolution.09:47
xainI get booted back to login screen.09:48
xainThat's the main one.09:48
xainThe second.09:48
xainDuring playback of visual, DVD, FLV, and MP4. Every once in awhile about every 4 second's, it skip's like a scratched CD.09:49
xainEven when the files are stored directly on my HDD.09:49
ActionParsnip2xain: have you tested your ram?09:50
syockitalright, now it really starts to sound like a certain intel problem, #30301109:51
syockitbug #30301109:51
xainYes i have tested my RAM.09:51
xainAnd i know my intel is a piece of crap, haha.09:51
xainIt's not the intel that is doing it though.09:51
syockitand many people reported performance drop after moving to intrepid09:51
xainI did not have this problem until i upgraded to 8.1009:51
xainYES!09:52
xainI was on Gnome Ubuntu before hand.09:52
xainI am on KDE Intrepid now.09:52
syockitthere was a change in intel driver in the kernel as well09:52
xainI think Intrepid hates me :(09:52
ct529xain: have you tried looking on the intel site for drivers?09:52
xainMeh, only one driver i trust from Intel for this VGA chipset is extremely old.09:53
xainAnd it's XP only...09:54
ActionParsnip2xain: which kde are you running and how much ram do you have?09:54
xainKDE 4.1, 2gig's ram.09:55

ct529I have a sata disk .... in the BIOS, would you choose ATA or AHCI for maximum performance?09:56
ct529I am using ata but I am not terribly happy09:56
syockitnow lets see if your drm is running....09:56
syockitxain: okay, do you have libdrm installed? do this: aptitude search ~ilibdrm09:57
ActionParsnip2xain: hmm should be ok then09:58

xainThe one that came as Default with 8.1010:01
xainI am new to linux i try not to goof around with it much.10:01
xainLast time i messed with it was with Pulse Audio.10:02
syockitxain: there should be a libdrm-intel1 if I'm not mistaken, see if the package is available10:02
xainDidn't come out of the hole that well.10:02
syockitxain: aptitude search libdrm10:02
xainI do that in Console correct?10:02
syockityes10:02
syockitpulseaudio did have an issue, but it only caused audio to stutter, not video as well10:03
xainYeha that was my problem.10:03
xainBut that was before i re-formatted.10:03
xainSo that's out of the way.10:03

xainYes i have that too.10:04

xainHow do i tell which libdrm i am using?10:05
ct529xain: you should have only one drm :)10:05
syockitlibdrm is the base, libdrm-intel1 depends on it10:05
xainOh i see.10:06
syockitxain: so there is libdrm-intel1?10:06
xainI am using the libdrm210:06
syockitthat gets installed by default I suppose10:06

syockitxain: basically, you need to have these installed: xserver-xorg-video-intel10:08
xainI have absolutely no clue how to check out if they are installed or not.10:09
syockitxain: libgl1-mesa-dri10:09
syockitxain: there are many methods. one is to use dpkg. another is aptitude, adept is also possible....10:09
syockitxain: let me show you dpkg way. dpkg -l <package name>10:10
syockitxain: so in this case; dpkg -l libdrm-intel110:10
xainHow do i get dpkg?10:10
syockitxain: dpkg is available by default. try it on the commandline10:11
ActionParsnip2thatd be a pain to reinstall dpkg10:12
ActionParsnip2;)10:12
syockitnaaah, it won't disappear by itself, will it?10:12
xainI see.10:12
ActionParsnip2syockit: no not on its own10:13
xainI got into dkpg, but the command  dpkg -l libdrm-intel110:13
syockitxain: if it's installed, it will have 'ii' on the left side of the package name10:13
xainThat doesn't work for me.10:13
xainNo packages matching that name.10:13
xainWhere would i find that package at?10:14
syockitxain: "No packages found matching libdrm-intel1" or something?10:14
xainYes.10:14

syockitxain: the current configuration relies solely on autoconfiguration10:32
xainI'm new, haha.10:32

xainYes.10:32
xainAtleast i didn't have to do anything and mine worked correctly on Hardy.10:33
xainMy OpenGL sucked, but still... It worked correctly.10:33
syockitxain: no, what I was trying to say was about xorg.conf10:33
xainOh, no clue.10:34
syockitxain: usually the installer gets it done for you after it detects your hardware10:34
syockitxain: that's not how it works nowadays though10:34
xainAll i know is that.10:36
xainWhen i play game's.10:37
ct529syockit: I do not know, I install the drivers manually ....10:37
xainMy vga turn's out correct, then i get some kind of a graphical skip, then graphic's are jacked up.10:37
ct529syockit: I think dpkg-reconfigure xorg could do the trick10:37
syockitct529: but that'll bring in lots of unnecessary entries10:38
ct529syockit: alternatively you can configure it manually ....10:40
syockitct529: actually I think hal/x is doing a good job configuring it already10:41
syockitjust some tidbits missing10:41
syockitxain: do this: ls -l /dev/dri/card010:41
ct529syockit: hal/x?10:41
syockitct529: don't know who's responsible for which. hal detects all those input devices and tells tells x which driver to load, i don't know about video/audio though10:42
xaincrw-rw-rw- 1 root video 226, 0 2009-02-13 04:14 /dev/dri/card010:42
ct529syockit: I did not know .... does it do some kind of autoconfiguration of X?10:43
syockitct529: starting intrepid, yes. as you can see, xorg.conf is optional10:43
syockitct529: you can try renaming xorg.conf to something else and see if it works correctly10:44
syockit(I cant though, I need special drivers for my touchscreen)10:44
syockitheyyy, the dri's also on mode 666! what else could be the problem?10:45
syockitxain: I'm running out of cards to play here10:45

xainI think it's just a bug.10:46
ct529syockit: I do not know .... I use manually installed drivers to run CUDA10:46
xain*COUGH* vista crap *COUGH*10:46
xainVista does the same bug to tell you the truth.10:46
syockitxain: hehe. I had everything running fine on vista, but it's slow like h.......10:47
xainMeh.10:47
xainMy 945GMA ran really buggy on vista.10:47
xainBut believe it or not...10:47
xainIt's better on se7en10:47
xainBut this is pretty much the same bug i had with vista.10:48
xainJust some upgraded driver that add's new junk that actually screw's it up.10:48
syockitxain: maybe the newer driver caused it?10:48
xainI'll probably get 8.04 KDE and try that out.10:48
xainYes.10:49
xain1 of 2 thing's may have caused it.10:49
syockitxain: but how did you get it better on se7en? it must have even newer driver10:49
xainI used 8.04 Hardy Gnome before. I formatted my HDD and installed 8.10 Intrepid KDE.10:49

syockitActionParsnip2: aww cmon, at least they're working with them kernel/xorg dudes much more closely than other lads10:54
ActionParsnip2Nvidia all the way here10:54
xaindpkg-reconfigure xorg?10:55
ActionParsnip2xain: that'll need sudo10:55
ct529I am very happy with the nvidia drivers .... the only problem is they are closed source10:55
xainFrom the bootup command box?10:55
ct529xain: sudo10:55
ct529xain: from the konsole10:55
syockitxain: do this at command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg10:55
ct529xain: sudo  dpkg-reconfigure xorg10:55
ct529syockit: :)10:55
syockitor was it xorg-xserver?10:55
ct529syockit: maybe ....10:56
ct529xain: try both of them ....10:56
_lumm<__lumm> how can i changeback the efault ugly green from my control bar10:56
_lumm<__lumm> it was black like the application launcher still is10:56
_lumm<__lumm> it just changed with kde 4.210:56
ActionParsnip2ct529: if they work....who cares is my theory10:56
_lummanyone got a clue?10:56
gorgonizerI think it is xserver-xorg ;)10:56
xainDo i restart now?10:56
ActionParsnip2_lumm: can you give us a screenshot?10:57
ct529ActionParsnip2: I am really unfomfortable with that10:57
ct529xain: have you tried both sudo  dpkg-reconfigure xorg and suod10:57
ct529xain: and sudo  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg10:57
ct529xain: ?10:57
ActionParsnip2ct529: they make the hardware so they should provide the software too, makes sense as they will know the hardware better than anyone else10:58
syockit_lumm: if you disable desktop-effects, you'll get the black one ;)10:58
xaindpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg..... Just got me a completely different interface.10:58
xainOne sec, imma read this.10:58
syockit_lumm: actually, if you looked at kde4's doc on themeing, you'll know where to find the svgs10:59
ct529ActionParsnip2: well, if they gave us an os driver we could maybe help as well10:59
ActionParsnip2ct529: true but its how they roll. Im happy for them to do their job which I'm paying my cash for the cards for them to do11:00
syockitct529: well, they're confident in their abilities to maintain the drivers for each os11:01
ct529syockit: I imagine .... still do not like it11:03
ActionParsnip2ct529: theyve rocked it so far, why change it11:03
xainOk.11:04
xainConfiguring xserver-xorg11:04
xainI'm gonna jack up my laptop, haha.11:04
ct529xain: is it configuring?11:05
xainXKB rul to set is XORG correct?11:05
xainThis is for keyboard setup....11:06
xainLol.11:06
xainI just reconfigured my keyboard.11:08
ct529xain: what is you keyboard?11:08
xainThat command line i was given.11:08
ct529xain: ok .... now it should ask the mouse and then the graphic card11:08
xainIt was for re-configuring the keyboard.11:08
xainNope.11:08
xainJust keyboard.11:08
xainI'm back to the terminal now.11:08
ct529xain: I think I have finished my options ....11:09
xainI used   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg11:09
xainAny other's?11:09
xainOr is that the main one?11:09
ct529xain: yes .... it should be the main one11:10
xainMight just be 8.10 doing it to me then.11:10
xainWould i still have my IRC and everything else if i downgraded to 8.04?11:11
bazhangsure11:11
bazhangxain, but would require a full reinstall11:11
xainYes i know.11:12
xainI had to do a full reinstall for 8.1011:12
xainI never do upgrades.11:12
xainI learned that from microsoft....11:12
xainUpdates are never good from that company.11:12

xainShould i upgrade to 4.2?11:17
bazhangxain, you can give it a shot11:17
dimitrishello. i ve upgraded to kde 4.2 and now i can only see  a black screen and the mouse. im a newby can someone help?11:17
ForeverSmurfxain, are you getting graphical problems?11:17
ForeverSmurfcorruption?11:17
ForeverSmurfit could be a driver issue?11:17
bazhangxain, though with jaunty in just two months time you could wait11:18
xainKind of a corruption effect every once in awhile i guess you would say.11:18
xainLook's like funky color's when i open my menu's.11:18
bazhang4.2 will be standard in jaunty11:18
bazhangie no need for ppa11:18
xainI just ordered this Intrepid and got it in the mail 3 day's ago.....11:18
xainDamm bastard's upgrade too fast for me to keep up.11:19
xainHaha.11:19
ForeverSmurfwhy is ubuntu taking so long to get the packages for the stable nvidia 180.22+ drivers in intrepid11:19
bazhangwell you should go with what suits you best, and 8.04.2 is LTS11:19
ForeverSmurfit's causing users so many problems!!!!!!!!11:19
xainForeverSmurf: I am really not sure.11:19
xainBut yes i am an Intel 945GMA user.11:19
xainWell I like LTS.11:20
xainWtf is LTS anyway?11:20
bazhang!lts11:20
ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.11:20

xainOh, sorry bazhang.11:20
bazhangalexk, english here11:20
syockitit's basically like an officially supported version, that lasts long time11:20
bazhangalexk, #ubuntu-ru for russian11:21
xainI might stick to 8.04 until there is a higher grade LTS version.11:21
xainMight be my best bet.11:21

syockitxain: you might want to bookmark this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6360716 it has a howto for installing kde4.1 (the one you use in 8.10)11:30
ActionParsnip1zer0o: make sure you have ntfs3g installed if you need write access11:30
ActionParsnip1syockit: nice11:30
syockitxain: you can try that after installing 8.04.2 later11:31
xainAll sorts of hell broke lose because there is a bug with the intel driver and the 945GMA and this card and installing kde4 brought it out. There was a workaround for me. On my laptop, I never had an issue because it uses a different graphics card11:32
xainAH HA!11:32
xainRight on the page you linked me, haha.11:32
xainSo it's KDE4 and my VGA chip.11:33
xainSo downgrading to the 3.4 version should be good for me.11:33

pascalhey leute :) kennt jmd ein programm womit ich mein desktop mit sound aufnehmen kann ?12:08
MachtinI was just wondering, if Creative X-Fis are supported by now? couldn't really find something via google.12:08
Machtinpascal: fällt mir spontan nichts ein, aber kannst deinen desktop aufnehmen, ne tonspur aufnehmen und das dann zusammenfügen..12:09
Machtinaber als direktes tool wär natürlich besser.. dauert sonst ewig12:09
pascalhö bin ich hier auf den deutschen channel o.o12:10
ActionParsnip1!de | pascal12:11

pascalsry , aber ich hatte /join ubuntu-de eingegeben ... dan dachte ich , ich wäre bereits auf den deutschen :)12:11
etfbWow - blast from the past.  Remember how in the old days there used to be all sorts of problems with sound not working after hibernate?  Well the bad old days are back for me.  There's a lot of rubbish on the interwebs; anyone know of an actual solution to this problem?12:12
ActionParsnip1etfb: hibernate is a huge pain to get nice12:12
ActionParsnip1etfb: tried restarting hal/alsa/pulse after wakeup12:13
etfbActionParsnip1: How do I do that?12:13
ActionParsnip1etfb: sudo /etc/init.d/<something> restart12:13
etfbActionParsnip1: /sbin/alsa force-reload doesn't work.  Kaffeine refused to run after I did that, which was weird.12:13
etfbWill try that...12:13
ActionParsnip1etfb: you may need to rmmod / modprobe your sound driver module12:14
etfbActionParsnip1: How do I find the appropriate module name?12:15
ActionParsnip1etfb: lsmod will list all loaded modules12:16
ActionParsnip1etfb: lshw will show the hardware and maybe the driver12:16
ActionParsnip1etfb: try lshw -C audio12:17
ActionParsnip1etfb: it might be sound or multimedia, not sure12:17
ActionParsnip1yeah its sound12:18
ActionParsnip1look for the module name on the last line and sudo rmmod <that thing>; sudo modprobe <that thing>12:18
etfbOdd, I seem to have two: a 32bit Radeon HD 3600 Series, and a 64 bit Intel 82801I HDA12:19
etfbOh, and modprobe: does nothing12:19
ActionParsnip1etfb: it wont say anything12:20
ActionParsnip1etfb: but stuff happened under the hood12:20
ActionParsnip1etfb: heres mine: http://pastebin.com/d2161c0f212:22
ActionParsnip1etfb: so i would use: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel; sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel12:22
=== gnuton is now known as Gnut[OFF]
ActionParsnip1etfb: if that doesnt work, read dmesg | tail12:24
etfbOdd; says snd_hda_intel is in use.12:25
ActionParsnip1etfb: you may need to stop the sound system first12:26
ActionParsnip1etfb: this is why hibernate is SOOOOO not worth it12:26
etfbActionParsnip1: Unfortunately, suspend doesn't work at all, so hibernate is all I've got.12:27
etfbHow do I stop the sound system?12:27
ActionParsnip1etfb: which do you use?12:27
etfbNothing relevant in dmesg, btw, other than this: [   43.298663] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC268, trying auto-probe from BIOS...12:27
etfbActionParsnip1: What do you mean?12:27
ActionParsnip1etfb: alsa/pulse/oss  whats your poison?12:28
lokaiI removed the sound controller thing from my system bar. How do I put it back? KDE 3.512:28
etfbActionParsnip1: Oh.  ALSA, I'm fairly sure.12:30
etfbNo sign of Pulse in anything I can see, anyhow.12:30
ActionParsnip1etfb: the look in /etc/init.d for something alsa shaped12:30
etfbActionParsnip1: I did.  Restarted alsa-utils, and no luck there either.12:31
etfbOnly solution seems to be restarting, which is a pain in the arse.12:31
ActionParsnip1etfb: you may have to STOP it then rmmod the module12:31
ActionParsnip1etfb: short of that i am unsure, if its a laptop, maybe theres a guide on how to get it working for your make / model12:33
=== Gnut[OFF] is now known as gnuton
bob_yo12:36
etfbHey wow!  Something worked!12:38
ActionParsnip1etfb: whats shaking?12:39
etfbI think it was the sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop followed by rmmod'ing and modprobe'ing snd-hda-intel.  I shall write a script to do that, and test it next time I hibernate.12:39
etfbThanks, ActionParsnip1!12:39
ActionParsnip1etfb: cool12:40
ActionParsnip1etfb: you should put whatever you did in a script so you can easily do the same thing next time you wake the thing up12:41

ActionParsnip1etfb: amixer12:46
ActionParsnip1etfb: i think if you pass it params it will set stuff too12:46
ActionParsnip1etfb: man amixer12:47
Machtinyo guys.. what soundcard would i want, if i wanted a creative x-fi but fully supported by alsa?12:48
etfbCool - so amixer set Master 100% unmute and amixer set Master 0% mute will do what I want in a script.  Excellent!12:50

voicuI can't use any program now since I don't have focus on the text fields13:02
voicuI checked in aptitude and no dependencies are broken13:03
ActionParsnip1ct529: its hugely geeky, the nuber of seconds since 1st jan 1970 is nearly at 123456789013:03
ActionParsnip1voicu: reinstall the kwin package, ive seen this a lot13:03
voicuthere is a kwin package?13:03
ActionParsnip1voicu: sure, you didnt expect one?13:04
voicuNo, I thought it would be part of some larger package13:04
voicuthat's all13:04
ActionParsnip1voicu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install kde-window-manager13:04
voicuyeah, done13:04

quassel65Hi, how can I add a plasmoid to the desktop that if clicked, displays the kickoff menu (like the left button on the panel)? I tried application launcher, but it always displays the menu.13:49
Dr_Willisdont ya drag/drop them onto the desktop?  I think ive seen some that you can add them to the panel or the desktop13:50
Dr_Willisdrag to one.. they look one way.. drag to other.. they look a different way13:51
quassel65I can't drag the kickoff launcher to the desktop.13:51
Dr_Willisperhaps it cant be used on the desttop then. Im not in kde to try it out13:52
quassel65ok, other question13:52
syockitquassel65: do you have the desktop unlocked?13:52
quassel65syockit: yes13:52
quassel65but, isn't the option called "lock/unlcok *widgets*, not *desktop*? If no, then its maybe locked.13:53
syockitquassel65: yes, widgets. sorry13:54
syockitquassel65: and this is kde4.0 or 4.1?13:54
quassel65neither: kde 4.2 ( jaunty)13:54
syockitoh wait, neither 4.0 nor 4.1 allows dragging of panel items to desktop :(13:55
=== quassel228 is now known as eXlin
syockitquassel65: I tried, and it works. don't like the way it looks though13:56
quassel65what?13:56
syockitquassel65: enable panel editing mode.13:56
syockitquassel65: that is, click on panel's cashew. during this mode you can move panel widgets13:56
quassel65oh, but it pulls the whole menu out. Not only the launcher.13:57
syockitquassel65: ah, I see, you also didn't like that13:57
quassel65yeah.13:57
quassel65ok, I also have two other questions, maybe they're easier :)13:59
syockitquassel65: ah, but lancelot stays as icon13:59
syockitquassel65: if you don't mind lancelot, you can check that out14:00
quassel65syockit: can that also be configured for kickoff14:00
syockitquassel65: lancelot is a different menu system. although you can use the kickoff icon, lancelot will still be lancelot14:01
syockitquassel65: and maybe kickoff was written to not become an icon on desktop14:01
quassel65well, ok. Now, my other question14:02
quassel65is there a kind of "custom launcher" plasmoid? So, an costum icon that runs a custom command when clicked?14:02
syockitquassel65: strange, I can't find one? when trying kde4.0 back then, I remember creating custom shortcuts....14:06
quassel65and something else: When I add bBalL plasmoid, it doesn't appear anywhere...14:07
mazachi guys, i'm trying to upgrade 7.10's kde 4.1 to 4.2 .. i've been following official upgrade quide (on fresh install of 7.10) but can't figure out which packages are 'plasmoid packages' which are supposed to be uninstalled before upgrade ? thoughts ?14:08
syockitquassel65: I never had that working14:09
syockitmazac: even 8.04 was troublesome. and you're doing it on 7.10?14:10
mazacsyockit; oh sorry, 8.1014:10
mazacthe latest from kubuntu site14:10
syockitmazac: find any packages that has either plasmoid or plasma applet in the name14:11
syockitmazac: don't forget kdeplasma-addons14:12
syockitmazac: do a ' aptitude search ~iplasma ' and look at the descriptions14:13
mazacsyockit; i managed to upgrade it so far but im not sure if it is 'clean way' .. i've run upgrade right after installation , went ok appart from some packages which apt-get told me they have been kept back .. i removed these (kdm off from console) and then installed again, removing some packages which havent met dependencies14:13
mazacsyockit; cool i'll have a look14:13
quassel65Isn't the "Leave me a note" applet supposed to also appear when the screen is locked?14:13
mazacsyockit; jsut got fresh intrepid install on vmware so i'm gonna give it a try14:13
quassel65sorry, I meant widget, not applet (I'm too used to gnome...)14:13
syockitmazac: when upgrading, apt-get dist-upgrade can solve cyclic dependencies. but since that has passed, doesn't matter now. just to let you know..14:15
mazacanayway, is intrepid with kde 4.2 reliable ? stable ? can one use it for day to day work ?14:15
EagleScreenmazac yes14:16
mazacEagleScreen; because after fresh installation and first kde run, some application crashed :)) the one that require mysql.. can't remember14:17

quassel65I have a question about the  default kickoff menu: I heard that kde 4 used "soft spots" - screen edges that are easy to click. But: when the menu is open, and I selected an application group in Applications, I can't click the "back" button on the left if I move my mouse all the way to the left. I saw this feature sometime in a KDE visual guide, why isn't it working in jaunty kde 4.2?14:19
EagleScreenmazac you have KDE 4.1.3 in inprepid updates, it will crash less than 4.1.2, or you can install 4.2.0 (I recomend it)14:19
genii-aroundPici: Nice catch. Was just trying to whois the ip for country code :)14:20
mazacEagleScreen; i added launchpad repisotory so it should be 4.214:20
mazac*repository14:20
EagleScreenwell done mazac14:21
syockitquassel65: I'm amazed by the number of defects you found on this run. I've only realized that kickoff now floats a bit to the center, instead of being glued to screen edge14:21
quassel65syockit: I'm sorry, I also noticed loads of positive great stuff in kde (which I think is amazing, I only used kde 3 quite a while ago), I think I'm going to swith to kde full-time when jaunty comes out. Its just: I only ask about the stuff that doesn't seem to work,14:23
syockitquassel65: nothing to apologize about :) it's just that I've only realized how user experience can greatly vary depending on how they want to use the desktop14:25
syockitquassel65: especially, I'm on tabletpc, so I'll never discover that soft-edge thing14:25
quassel65tabletpc: cool!14:26
syockitquassel65: and I mostly alt-f2 or use yakuake to launch apps. but I figured that most users would want an icon to launch custom command14:26
syockitthe ball is something I gave up trying since 4.0, and I never imagined having a K icon on desktop to launch things14:27
syockitif that was possible, maybe people can remove panel completely14:27
quassel65I just figured out about the launchers: You can right click on the app in kickoff and select "Add to Desktop" and then, minimize all the windows to find where it apperas.14:28
syockitquassel65: but if you edit that...14:28
syockithmm, i need to confirm14:28
quassel65Or you can drag and drop an app from the kickoff menu to the desktop. Great, launchers are possible!14:28
syockitmy hypothesis is that if you edit the created launcher, the entry in the menu would also be changed14:29
syockitbut I'm gonna have to prove that first14:29
MeizirkkiKDE 4.2 on Nokia n810: http://picasaweb.google.com/meizirkki/MerOnN810#530084148859399443414:29
Meizirkkiit runs "ok", but is there any tricks to make it faster?14:29
tackatMeizirkki: does it use Qt 4.5?14:30
Meizirkkino idea, it's jaunty btw14:30
tackatMeizirkki: then it most likely doesn't14:30
Meizirkkiok14:31
tackatMeizirkki: usage of Qt 4.5 is likely to improve the speed14:31
Meizirkkiokay, why Qt 4.5 isn't used in Jaunty14:31
Meizirkki?14:31
vbgunzanybody ever use "suspend to ram" in intrepid? does it work flawlessly (reliably) for you? Did you get a chance to test it in Jaunty? does it work at all?14:32
JontheEchidnaThey're still deciding whether or not Qt 4.5 should be inlcuded in Jaunty14:32
Meizirkkiok14:32
syockitquassel65: hmm great! it seems the launcher is duplicated, and doesn't share properties with the one in the menu14:33
quassel65ok, thanks, so I can use that then.14:33
vbgunzQt 4.5 I head was better tested I believe by Aaron Siego and was faster out the box? also, its even faster if you turn painting to raster or something? (beyond me atm)14:33
syockitquassel65: the only drawback is (for me) extra things appearing in kickoff's search (but for custom commands, this is a good thing)14:34
drostiehi, guys. Is there a way to uninstall KDE 4.2 after you install it and it ruins just about everything?14:35
quassel65I just noticed: I tried Help->KMailHandbook in KMail to get some Help, but it just said "documentation not found". Do I have to install a extra package via pt?14:35
JontheEchidnaquassel65: kdepim-doc14:35

syockityes14:37
drostieMeizirkki: won't that kill kde as a whole?14:37

syockitvbgunz: http://linux-wizard.net/blog-testing_kde_42_with_qt_45-256.html14:37
quassel65sometime?14:37
vbgunzI am not sure what is happening about it. I do hope it ships in jaunty. I heard it is supposed to be better and magnitudes faster than 4.4.*14:37
EagleScreenQt 4.5 is not stable14:37
EagleScreenPlasma may often crash with Qt 4.514:38
syockitquassel65: not sure, it might have to be reported. but I'm not keen on going to bugs.kde.org ....14:38
Meizirkkidrostie: it's the best way i know to uninstall kde14:38
vbgunzAaron said its more stable and referred to that post I believe14:38
drostieI should be more specific, then. I want to reinstall kde 4.1 over kde 4.2.14:38
drostieIs there some other .deb I should retrieve beforehand so that I can reinstall kde 4.1?14:39
vbgunzsorry, it was Thiago, I get the two mixed up14:39
vbgunzhttp://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/02/10/why-kde-42-should-use-qt-45/14:39
Meizirkkidrostie: why??14:39
claudio__hie all14:39
EagleScreendrostie use synaptic or aptitude package managers and downgrade packages to its 4.1 version14:39
quassel65syockit: this bug is already reported, right? Add widgets14:40
drostieEagleScreen: Can't. KDE 4.2 broke KNetworkManager, and now I don't have an internet connection.14:40
maziahola, im just installed kubuntu 8.10.  knetwork manager wont let me use static ip when i tell it to.14:40
quassel65I meant: Add widgets14:40
quassel65Add widgets14:40
quassel65https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18397014:40
maziahis there a fix for this ?14:40
claudio__can anyone tell me why my shortcuts doesn't work (in linux ubuntu 8.04 ) when i try to make ctrl+c to cpy doesn't work????14:40
maziahi got rid of openSuSE 11.1 thinking kubuntu 8.10 was better14:40
EagleScreendrostie my knetworkmanager works well in 4.2 i dont see reason for breakage14:40
Meizirkkidrostie: KDE 4.2 shouldn't ruin things.. for me it runs a lot better than 4.114:41
a|wenis there anyone here, which uses intrepid with kde 4.1.4 from the -proposed archive?14:41
drostieWell, KDE 4.2, for me, *did* ruin things. Useful things, like internet access and keyboard input.14:41
maziahdrostie: i found lots of settings are missing ? lots of admin tools and such14:42
vbgunzKDE 4.2 is turning out to be the DE I can recommend again14:42
maziahbefore i could go into admin settings and configure everything... but i cant see anything in system settings now for configuring my network adaptors.14:42
vbgunz4.1 made me so sad, I wouldn't recommend it. 4.2 is so cool, I cannot wait for 4.3 heh14:42
Meizirkkivbgunz: same here14:42
drostieI mean, maybe there was some serious screwup in upgrading, and I'd love to try to re-upgrade, but first I have to de-upgrade. Without an internet connection. Or a keyboard.14:43
Meizirkkihmm14:43
drostieHence, uninstalling KDE 4.2 in favor of KDE 4.1, with only pre-downloaded .deb packages.14:43
drostie(I should point out that I *do* still have keyboard access through a TTY console, so it's not as bad as it sounds.)14:44
drostieDo you guys know what packages I'd need to do that?14:45
maziahfuck this im going back to opensuse 11.0 ;>14:45
maziah11.1 memory leaks14:45
genii-aroundWell, can't please everyone ALL the time, unfortunately.14:45

shadeslayermazac did you restart X??15:06
mazacevery time i upgrade it different way, i get different result but still not good supposely :))15:07

quassel65I'm already looking forward to kde 515:10
mazacshadeslayer; its not the nightbuild .. i addedd launchpad repository and did upgrade afterwards .. this should be enough .. and it's corresponding with howto on kubuntu site .. weird15:11
shadeslayerhaha, KDE 5,thatll be mid 201015:11
drostiemazac: I did most of the same steps and KDE 4.2 at least starts up for me, although several things are still broken even then. So I don't think you did anything wrong.15:11
shadeslayermazac i did the exact same thing15:11

shadeslayermazac seriously??15:16
shadeslayer4.1 is junk15:16
mazacwell it is ..15:16
drostiefunctional junk, though. mazac and I both have KDE 4.2 installs that are totally useless. ^_^15:16
shadeslayer4.2 is much much much much much better15:17

senai can show you if you want15:25

mazacsena; ok15:26
senaso do you have any idea15:26
mazachm15:26
senanow will just prompt everywhere for password and i just paste it everywhere but it is at least secure that way15:27
ct529genii-around: but would you be able to change them, as you do with normal disks15:28
mazacsena; you can write it to temp file and the cat it and send to pipe .. but storing it in file is not too secure as well :)15:28
mazachmm15:29
genii-aroundct529: Unless they're soldered into the motherboard I don't see why not15:29
senamazac: well if that works I can delete the file at the end or?15:29
mazacsena; yeah sure. it should work15:30
mazacsena; just use echo `cat temp.pwd` | sudo -S15:30

dutlerif you doint have to have desktop effects, you can use openbox with kde to get powerfull keybinding16:21
voicuwhat's openbox?16:22
dutlera windows manager that works well with kde16:23

voicunot for the effects16:23
voicui can do without them16:23
dutleri use to use openbox when i had a smaller system.... i like kwin too, just miss the keybinding and the service menues as well16:24
voicudo i just kill kwin and start openbox?16:25

guraltsevhey guys, I am having some graphics problems with my kubuntu 8.10 toshiba satellite notebook with intel 945GM. Is there any giude on internet ore something relevant to installing more up to date video drivers and stuff. I cannot seem to find anything. In general what do I need to do to install the latest drivers under linux?16:26
voicudutler: well for now i'll just bring it up a little for testing16:27
dutlerread this guys blog... its the best reffernce i have found: http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/16:28
dutlerguraltsev: i what driver are you useing? i810 or intel?16:30
guraltsevhow do I find out?16:30
guraltsevI just installed linux about a week ago16:30
dutleri believe the intel drivers are open, so dont need to do anyting specail for hardware acceeration like some of us ati and nvidea guys.16:31
dutlercan you get to the system settings app?16:31
dutler8.10 has kde 4.1 ... its kind of a test realease, rather than a production. you may have a better (less buggy, more complete, more stable) experiance wuing 8.04 with kde 3.516:32
dutleri didnt upgrade until kde 4.2 was out ... kde 4.1 is not complete... only a .1 of the 4 tech base16:33
guraltsevwell actually I have already kde 4.216:33
guraltsevsorry, didn't read16:34
guraltsevI also waited for kde 4.216:34
syockithmm, my experience was different. kde 4.0 broke, but 4.1 worked nice. and 4.2 gets a little better16:34
dutlerahhh good. ... so your new, but youv still managed the "un supported upgrade"16:35
guraltsevdutler: If I understand correctly  what you mean by system settings, I have started it. Now where should I go? I have tried digging around but no success so far.16:35
dutleranyway... id doest apear that the display "control panel" lets u set the drive like with kde 3. you will need to use cli16:36
=== costin is now known as Tupac_Shakur
dutlerhave you ever messed with nano?16:36
guraltsevdutler: well, I had some very limited linux experience with linuxes in my dad's university. But that was always with rather old pc's and that was 4-5 years ago... So I never encountered problems with video devices etc.16:37
syockit8.10 will load "intel" driver by default with 945GM16:37
dutlersyockit: does "intel" support opengl or does he need to load a differnt driver?16:38
syockityes it does, and xorg handles everything automatically16:38
guraltsevI can explain the problem16:38
chakiei have a lenovo t60 laptop and i can't get wlan/bluetooth enabled. they are [de]activated through fn-f5 and i at some point disabled them to save power (both were working fine)16:39
chakienow i can't enable them anymore16:40
chakieis that something that the OS controls or the hw?16:40
JohnFluxchakie: reboot?16:40
syockitchakie: you must reenable them manually16:40

chakiewell, i can't enable them16:40
steven_hellow16:40
=== root is now known as Guest407
syockitchakie: there's a commandline for that, i forgot16:40
chakiehow much i keep pressing fn-f5 it never does anything16:41
syockitchakie: it involves using ifconfig <interface name> up16:41
syockitchakie: no, it doesn't work that way16:41
chakieoh16:41
syockitchakie: your fn-f5 disables it at hardware level (I assume)16:41
chakieso you can disable that way but not enable?16:41
guraltsevNormally everything works fine, but I tried running a video intensive program: a game made for linux and it gave me lots of trash.. I tried looking around and it said that it was actually a problem with the intel drivers, and it actually said that it could be fixed by updating to more up to date and maybe experimental drivers. But I do not know how to approach this problem and it didn't say anything about how to do it16:41
chakiesyockit: looking in the bios they are both enabled, and fn-f5 has no effect even before linux "takes over"16:42
syockitchakie: and when it's disabled at hardware level, the software detects that your wifi is gone, so it reacts accordingly16:42
syockitchakie: but it doesn't react to the wifi being activated again16:42
chakiesyockit: sounds like what i have16:43
dutlerguraltsev xserver-xorg-video-intel  is the new driver... and by defult you should have it.  onpen konsole and type >nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf16:43
chakiesyockit: something like this? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Bluetooth_with_Enhanced_Data_Rate_(BDC-2)16:43

syockitdutler: umm, because he's on 8.10?16:45
steven_anyway i found it thx anyway16:46
dutlerright... i forgot... use "lspci | grep VGA" instead16:46
afeijocan I install kubuntu 8.10 in a apple macbook air?16:46
dutlerim on 8.10 but have customized it.16:46
steven_why you do that ,16:46
steven_?16:46
guraltsevbut it is rather useless: it only has 3 sections called device, monitor, and screen, with respective identifiers: saying "configured monitor" etc. Wait now I will do lspci16:47
syockitchakie: i still don't comprehend the situation here.... so is your bluetooth/wifi totally unusable now, or does it reset on reboot?16:47
syockitafeijo: yes. you. can!! or did you mean that as "will the hardware be fully supported?"16:49
whutWhy fonts in Firefox are so small?16:49
dutlerguralsev: thats what syockit was leading up too... sorry i forgot abot those changes with 8.10 . type "lspci | grep VGA" instead16:49
afeijosyockit: lol, yeah, thats implicit. I will have 0 problems or there is some incompatibilities?16:50
guraltsevok I have 2 entries relevant to our case in lspci output: one begins with Display controller (and does not contain the string VGA) and the other one is:    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller(rev 03)16:50
dutlerguralsev: that will eve you the excate video adapter you have... then do lsmod | grep intel so see ifyour using the right one16:51
syockitafeijo: I haven't see anyone doing review of using kubuntu 8.10 on macbook air. so no guarantee there16:51
dutleri have to run out, but to get newer drivers than the ones in the repo, you will have to find a reopw with a newer one, or build from source....16:53
dutlerapt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel   will tell you what version you currently have16:53

chakiesyockit: but i found the cause, there's a small switch on the side of the laptop that disables the wifi/bt entirely16:58

mossgixhello19:58
inzii have a question.. isit better to install the nvidia driver from the official website or the restricted driver19:58
giarcainzi: when you talk about official website you mean nvidia.com or so?19:59
mossgixi've encountered some problems when i've installed drivers from nvidia.com20:00
Piciinzi: The restricted driver is the driver from nvidia.com, but it may not be the latest version.20:01
mossgixspecially when upgraded the kernel20:01
mossgixinstead with drivers from kubuntu it's simply perfect20:01
giarcaI had no problem with the driver in kubuntu's repositories. Works like a charm.20:01
giarcaexactly the same for me mossgix20:02
douglhow do I make applications start on specific desktops from the command line? ie xchat on desktop 2 I would do what at bash promt on desktop 1?20:02
mossgixi think restricted drivers are radicated in the installed kernel20:03
mossgixif you get an upgrade they crash20:03
inziyah i mean nvidia.com20:04
giarcainzi: both me and mossgix had no problem with kubuntu's choice20:04
