| DjFlyBy | mefisto__: well the proper setting is according to the bios/jumpers .... but in 8.10 it puts the primary master and secondary master backwards (ie. primary master is listed as secondary master) .. furthermore this causes grub to be installed to the wrong MB (puts it on (hd1) thinking it is (hd0)) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| DjFlyBy | when this happens, upon booting after the install, it just loads to the grub screen instead of loading the os | 00:00 |
| mefisto__ | DjFlyBy: you can edit the grub entry before boot | 00:01 |
| mefisto__ | DjFlyBy: was it an upgrade or fresh install? | 00:03 |
| DjFlyBy | mefisto__: fresh install | 00:03 |
| DjFlyBy | I tried upgrading the 7.10 but it errored out | 00:04 |
| DjFlyBy | so I just went with a fresh install instead | 00:04 |
| Bsims | I am trying to get notification to use system bell and i can't any ideas | 00:06 |
| mefisto__ | DjFlyBy: are you booted now, or running livecd? | 00:10 |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| DjFlyBy | mefisto__: niether, I'm on another of my machines here | 00:12 |
| mefisto__ | DjFlyBy: well you can either leave the disk order as it is and fix /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:12 |
| mefisto__ | DjFlyBy: or fix that and /boot/grub/device.map if you want to reverse which is sda and sdb | 00:13 |

| Bsims | sudo mkdir /tmp and reboot | 00:33 |
| ign0ramus | did that... no luck. | 00:33 |

| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| Bsims | Darn... dunno man try asking in #debian up on irc.debian.org but don't let them know you are on ubuntu as it does somethings the same but not all and ask in #ubuntu | 00:34 |
| ign0ramus | I like it here... I'll hang out until one of the superstars shows up, or until i need a drink, whichever comes first ;) | 00:35 |
| * Bsims grins I've been here for half an hour waiting for an answer to my question | 00:35 | |
| ign0ramus | bsims: what's your question? | 00:37 |
| Bsims | Well I want to enable system bell aka the beep from the speaker built in to the computer... It works but I can't tell kde 4.2 to used the bloody thing as a notification | 00:38 |

| * Bsims grins If I am gonna watch porn I want it on my headphones and I use them for skype as well | 00:41 | |
| ign0ramus | Bsims: system beep works through headphones? | 00:41 |
| ign0ramus | haha :) | 00:41 |
| Bsims | ign0ramus: well testing it in acessibiltiy it works properly I just can't get it to show as an option for konsole or konversation | 00:42 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus | 00:42 |
| ign0ramus | yes...? | 00:43 |
| Socceroos | if you do a "ls -la /" on the command line, what does the /tmp dir show? | 00:43 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: quite a bit, and i can't c/p... what specifically are you looking for? | 00:43 |
| ign0ramus | for some reason, root owns everything but /home, is that right? | 00:44 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: you recreated the /tmp dir right? what are the permissions on /tmp (it will look something like rwxrwx | 00:44 |
| Socceroos | ) | 00:44 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: drwxr-xr-x | 00:45 |
| Socceroos | and who is the owner of tmp? | 00:45 |
| Socceroos | root | 00:45 |
| ign0ramus | root | 00:45 |
| Socceroos | ? | 00:45 |
| Socceroos | cool | 00:45 |
| Socceroos | ok, try this: sudo chmod 777 /tmp | 00:46 |

| ign0ramus | Socceroos: done. | 00:46 |
| === root is now known as Guest14907 | ||

| austin | mefisto__: then what? | 00:50 |
| Socceroos | cool, thats good | 00:50 |
| Socceroos | now try startx =) | 00:50 |
| austin | what do i do then? | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: "Server is already active for display 0" | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: reboot?\ | 00:51 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: yeah, reboot | 00:51 |
| mefisto__ | austin: ok, try ctrl+F8 instead | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | *crosses fingers* | 00:51 |
| austin | mefisto__: lol not quite, but still cool (it did somethign esle) is there like a page of key shorts? | 00:51 |
| austin | found it, Cntrl+f9 | 00:52 |
| Bsims | I want to use the system speaker as a notification on Intrepid kde 4.2 and it's not working... any ideas? | 00:52 |
| austin | any way to link keyshorts to mous clicks? | 00:52 |
| mefisto__ | austin: it's called desktop grid, in desktop effects | 00:52 |
| Bsims | austin: Yeah at least in 4.2 at least if you use native kwin | 00:53 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: gave username and password, now prompts to "enter the name of the host you want to log in to"... ? | 00:53 |
| mefisto__ | austin: you mean you want mouse clicks to do a keyboard combination? | 00:53 |
| austin | like i have a foward, back, center click, and left and right click buttons on my mouse | 00:53 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: odd, try just giving it: localhost | 00:53 |
| mefisto__ | austin: try btnx | 00:53 |

| Socceroos | command line login or Xserver login? | 00:54 |
| ign0ramus | Xserver | 00:54 |
| Bsims | Hrm this sucks up arrow to repeat just went away | 00:54 |
| austin | mefist__: what is btnx? | 00:54 |
| Socceroos | ok, so you at least have your X back? | 00:54 |
| ign0ramus | and 127.0.0.1 doesn't work either | 00:54 |
| austin | menfisto__: What is btnx? | 00:54 |
| Socceroos | Now we just need to get you logged in. | 00:54 |
| Socceroos | gimme a sec | 00:55 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: yes, I have graphical interface back but cannot log in | 00:55 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: yup, you got it ;) | 00:55 |
| mefisto__ | austin: it's not it intrepid. it IS in hardy and jaunty, however. it's a program that can map mouse events to kbd combinations, etc. easy gui config | 00:55 |
| austin | mefisto__: how do i go about setting it? | 00:56 |
| mefisto__ | austin: what do you have installed? 8.10 intrepid? | 00:56 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: I'm in! | 00:57 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: what was it? | 00:58 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: not sure, it let me in for failsafe... and then I tried to log in under KDE3 session, and voila! | 00:58 |
| mefisto__ | austin: I found this with a quick google search: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=935469 | 00:58 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: I'm not confident that I'll be so lucky once I reboot, though... :/ | 00:58 |
| austin | mefisto__: I'm a sort of a n00b, so yah | 01:00 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: yeah. I'm just reading about it. it seems that KDM has been corrupted or misconfigured when it lost the /tmp dir. it keeps thinking you're logging in from a remote machine. try rebooting again and if it prompts you again for the 'host' just put 'username@localhost'. | 01:00 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: will do. | 01:00 |

| Socceroos | "dpkg-reconfigure" is one word =) | 01:02 |

| ign0ramus | Socceroos: thanks for all your help, man | 01:04 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: no problems! =) | 01:04 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: I've been pretty good about avoiding idiotic moves in the year or so I've been using (K)Ubuntu, but I just got lazy today and decided that if I needed root privileges to remove some stuff from /tmp/, i'd just be smart and nuke it from cli :) | 01:05 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: lol. Its good to explore - its the best way to learn. Now you know that many programs on linux rely on /tmp to function properly. Its a security thing. | 01:06 |
| mefisto__ | ign0ramus: also, all users need access to /tmp | 01:07 |
| ign0ramus | Socceroos: I usually do some reading before making any changes, but I still have stupid Windows habits (like deleting the entire temporary directory, thinking that a reboot will replace it). D'oh! | 01:07 |
| khalidmian | i would like more information on krdc - i have real vnc installed on 2 window machines - can i use krdc to connect and if so how? | 01:08 |
| mefisto__ | ign0ramus: maybe it should be created on boot if it doesn't exist. not a bad idea | 01:08 |
| Socceroos | ign0ramus: fair enough. It takes any seasoned windows user a while to see how different Linux operates. Its not that its bad - just different =) | 01:08 |
| Bsims | Jesus I even tried echo -e \\a as a program to get it to beep the system speaker on a new message and nothing | 01:08 |

| khalidmian | how do i untar a tar.qz file and install it | 01:16 |
| mefisto__ | Socceroos: I doubt it would increase boot time, just checking if the dir exists. if it doesn't and needs to be created, that may take a split second | 01:16 |
| khalidmian | how do i install vnc.tar.gz file in kubuntu | 01:18 |
| dr_Willis | khalidmian, why do you need to? theres dozens of vnc clients and servers | 01:19 |
| PSiL0 | For peeps using firefox on kubuntu intrepid running kde 4.2.0, have any of you noticed some dropped functionality in some of the extensions? In my case, my minimize mouse gesture just works once, and then ceases to work at all during the open session | 01:19 |
| dr_Willis | dropped functionality ? Sounds like a bug/extension crashing to me. :) | 01:20 |
| marcel | how can change file attributes from a terminal command ?? | 01:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: mouse gestures and certain keybindings would need to be configured manually as those extensions are not exactly setup with kde in mind | 01:21 |
| khalidmian | dr_Willis: i have realvnc in two window desktops whilst trying to access it via krdc i have not been able to thus i need realvnc unless you can tell a solution to the prob | 01:21 |
| mefisto__ | marcel: chmod --help | 01:21 |
| marcel | mefisto: thank you | 01:21 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: be sure kde's mouse gestures and keybindings are not contradicting them | 01:21 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: I configured them in firefox using two different extensions to no available... hmmm, where can I find kde's mouse gestures? | 01:22 |
| dr_Willis | any vnc client should work/be able to connect to most any vnc server | 01:22 |
| dr_Willis | I would imagine the problem is you are either getting firewalled, or doing somthing wrong. | 01:22 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: let me have a look.. sec | 01:22 |
| khalidmian | i have tried krdc but it doesnt seem to connect | 01:22 |
| dr_Willis | !find realvnc | 01:23 |
| ubottu | File realvnc found in nepenthes | 01:23 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: I had to create a new keybinding to minimize open windows after my problem reared its ugly head | 01:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm | 01:23 |
| dr_Willis | I tend to use the vnc4server and vnc4client | 01:23 |
| dr_Willis | !find vnc4 | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Found: vnc4-common, vnc4server, xvnc4viewer | 01:23 |
| dr_Willis | xvnc4viewer - works for me most all the time ive ever used it | 01:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I may have been mistaken with kde having mouse gesture support built in actuallly | 01:23 |
| dr_Willis | Paddy_EIRE, i seem to recall that feature somewhere.. :) but that may of been in 3.5 | 01:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ah | 01:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah | 01:24 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: Yeah, I would have noticed it in 4.2.0 if there were any... ahh, thanx dr_willis | 01:24 |
| khalidmian | dr_Willis: xvnc? where do i get that from | 01:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: hmm.. well if you can make the bug repeatable then I would report it to the appropriate extensions bug page | 01:25 |
| PSiL0 | also working in an imaging laboratory, nepomuk goes all crazy when transferring image data sets, everything down | 01:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: nepomuk still has a few problems :( | 01:25 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: Yeah, I'll do that... I've tried to find a solution through this channel and the forums to no avail | 01:25 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: Yeah, even with information panel switched off, dolphin (in 4.2.0) is still painfully slow at times.. | 01:26 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: is systemsettings, input actions what you mean? | 01:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: yeah actually I think that may be it | 01:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah it is | 01:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: ^ | 01:27 |
| austin | back | 01:27 |
| austin | so about that | 01:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | what mefisto__ said | 01:27 |
| austin | it just hapend again, and i didn't click nothin | 01:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I am not familar austin... what just happened again? | 01:27 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: well, that is where I set up my keyboard shortcuts to control banshee | 01:28 |
| austin | Paddy_EIRE: I launched one of the graphic fancy things with my mouse, and i don't know how i did it | 01:28 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: there are "konqueror gestures" in there.. perhaps those are interfering | 01:28 |
| austin | where all my windows show up in a grid | 01:28 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: checking... | 01:28 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: top left corner | 01:28 |
| austin | Paddy_EIRE: Your a genious! :D thank you :) | 01:29 |
| Paddy_EIRE | heh | 01:29 |
| austin | Paddy_EIRE: any idea how to show the plasma desktop (like mouse movements) | 01:29 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: hmm.. I think I had that once.. just a moment | 01:30 |

| khalidmian | where does xvnc install to? | 01:30 |
| khalidmian | i cant find it in prog list | 01:30 |
| mefisto__ | austin: does ctrl-D do it? | 01:30 |
| austin | mefitso__: no | 01:30 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: no beans... like all of the other instances, the gesture works the first time, and fails thereafter | 01:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :( | 01:31 |
| dr_Willis | khalidmian, xvnc4viewer is the package name and the name of the binary i belive | 01:31 |
| mefisto__ | austin: do you have a "show plasma dashboard" icon on the panel? | 01:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: tried logging out and back in with the new settings? | 01:31 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: I wish firefox had a debugging mode.. The error console is pretty much worthless in trying to identify my problem | 01:31 |
| austin | mefisto__: mhm, i do | 01:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: thats what I was thinking... he could set the shortcut | 01:32 |
| austin | how do i set shortcuts? | 01:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: hmm.. I though FF had a debug mode | 01:32 |
| khalidmian | dr_Willis: i just installed xnvcviewer package how do i connect to remote machine? | 01:32 |
| mefisto__ | austin: right-click that icon | 01:32 |
| austin | ok | 01:32 |
| austin | mefitso__: Ok | 01:33 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: oh yeah, my kubuntu cannot shutdown without a hard shutdown (pressing power button)... accroding to sudo shutdown in my tty1 session, it seems that kdm cannot shutdown... it has been like this ever since installing ati catalyst 9.1 | 01:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bloody catalyst :S | 01:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I am sorry but I find that like trying to ice skate uphill | 01:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | D: | 01:34 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: Haha, I agree with you on that one.. | 01:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 01:34 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: AFAIK, Firefox used to have a debug mode.. correct me if I'm wrong here.. It would be nice to have one so I can see all of its output in konsole | 01:35 |
| khalidmian | dr_Willis: what program do i use to connect to vnc server after installing xvncviewer package | 01:36 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: as for catalyst 9.1, I guess it is the price I pay for living on the bleeding edge | 01:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I must google that one.. i would not mind knowing myself | 01:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: :( | 01:36 |
| mefisto__ | austin: look in systemsettings > keyboard & mouse > global keyboard shortcuts, then choose "plasma workspace" from the dropdown menu (that's how it looks in kde 4.2 anyway) | 01:36 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843... I guess they outsourced it... | 01:37 |
| mefisto__ | do you need catalyst? | 01:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | well that would be worth asking yourself | 01:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: ah yeah.. firebug.. that is what I was thinking of | 01:38 |
| mefisto__ | doesn't seem to do much for me, but I've only ever installed it from ubuntu repos | 01:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah me too.. although I avoid it like mad now | 01:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: ah.. firebug is for debugging web pages | 01:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | not FF itself | 01:39 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: ahh okay | 01:39 |
| mefisto__ | firebug is awesome though | 01:39 |

| mefisto__ | PSiL0: firefox -safe-mode starts it with extensions/themes disabled | 01:42 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto_: I know... | 01:42 |
| mefisto__ | austin: if you've set the dropdown menu to plasma workspace, you should be able to set shortcuts | 01:42 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto_: whoops, I guess I called it safebox, my bad.. | 01:43 |
| khalidmian | does anyone know why i dont have a program folder/icon for xvnc4viewer | 01:43 |
| austin | mefitso__: its not registering my middle click | 01:44 |
| mefisto__ | austin: that's for keyboard shortcuts | 01:45 |
| austin | ah, but i wan't one for the mouse | 01:45 |
| austin | Like u do on the mac | 01:45 |
| mefisto__ | austin: you could map middle-click to a keyboard combination. but then you can't middle click without it triggering | 01:46 |

| austin | and lol what the hell is cntrl+meta???? | 01:48 |

| austin | is what i get | 01:50 |
| mefisto__ | austin: and meta or super key is usually the Win key | 01:50 |
| austin | yah that key, lol it makes starts arund my cursor...is that all its for | 01:50 |
| khalidmian | all im asking is either help in installation of vnctar.gz file OR help with xvncviewer | 01:53 |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| khalidmian | how do i use xvncviewer | 01:55 |
| austin | anyone know how to get emulators? | 01:55 |
| austin | like for n64 and nes and such | 01:55 |
| austin | mainly n64 | 01:55 |
| khalidmian | games section in add/remove programs austin | 01:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: I dont think an n64 emulator would be there | 01:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | you may need to google that one austin | 01:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | there are many other emulators there howevere | 01:57 |
| austin | ah ok i thik i might have found one....kamefu? | 01:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | *however | 01:57 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: so is "firefox -g" the debugging mode? | 01:57 |
| austin | oh ok cool i'll check e'm out | 01:57 |
| austin | thanks guys | 01:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm | 01:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 01:57 |
| khalidmian | how do i install a tar.gz file | 01:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !source | 01:58 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 01:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | umm | 01:58 |
| PSiL0 | I ran it before and tried to see if anything weird showed up, but ended up with nada | 01:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | sec | 01:58 |
| PSiL0 | khalidmian: tar -xvf name.tar.gz | 01:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: I am taking a look | 01:58 |
| PSiL0 | follow the readme file | 01:59 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: try "firefox --debug" | 02:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm.. it also says "Start within /usr/bin/gdb (Mustbe first)" | 02:02 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: yup same thing as in -g.... anyways, I ran it in this mode before and I saw nothing that looked strange when running firefox in it | 02:03 |
| khalidmian | PSiL0: all i did is create a folder for the tar file how do i install the porgem i wish to install | 02:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm.. you need firefox installed with debugging symbols enabled PSiL0 | 02:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | khalidmian: read the read me like he said | 02:03 |
| PSiL0 | khalidman: go into the directory and see if there is a readme file... usually you either ./configure or make a build directory and use make to compile the source in .. | 02:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | khalidmian: which is all explained in the readme | 02:04 |
| === don is now known as Guest98863 | ||
| khalidmian | all im looking for is a realvnc type program for kubuntu | 02:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | "all I want" does not make things instantly gratifying khalidmian | 02:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !vnc | khalidmian | 02:08 |
| ubottu | khalidmian: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:08 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: hmm, looks like I have to compile a nightly build.... can't find firefox-dpg for intrepid :( | 02:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm.. really? | 02:08 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firefox-dbg | 02:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | you have the source repo enabled... right? | 02:08 |
| PSiL0 | seems like it | 02:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gah | 02:08 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: just checked my sources.list and I have the source repos enabled | 02:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah it seems there is no -dbg for ff in intrepid | 02:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hmm | 02:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I wonder if -dev would be any use | 02:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I would not be so sure one that though | 02:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | *on | 02:11 |
| khalidmian | i have tried using krdc to connect to realvnc i have in 2 desktops without avail then i installed xvnc4viewer but i cant seem to find any program that i can use to connect to my remote computers | 02:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | khalidmian: tried running xvnc4viewer from the terminal | 02:12 |
| khalidmian | how do i do that? | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | perhaps your menus have not updated to sho the change | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | *show | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | khalidmian: alt+f2 then type konsole | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | then type xvnc4viewer and press enter | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | just to see | 02:14 |
| anarchy | is there any way to make kde4 look like osx.... something like bahgira? | 02:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | D: | 02:15 |
| austin | anyone know a good podcast client for kubuntu? | 02:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | amarok | 02:16 |
| austin | that one works good for video? | 02:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no | 02:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | you would use a seperate player for that austin | 02:16 |
| austin | xD anyone know agood one for videos? | 02:16 |
| austin | paddy_eire: which one? | 02:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | anyone you want | 02:16 |
| austin | Iused to use GTK pod, will this work in kubuntu | 02:16 |
| PSiL0 | austin: vlc? banshee (mono, gnome) | 02:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | amarok jsut aggregates them | 02:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | *just | 02:17 |
| austin | what does that mean? | 02:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lists and downloads them | 02:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | allows you to add feeds etc.. | 02:17 |
| austin | oh ok, it lists and downloads only audio though right | 02:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no | 02:17 |
| Paddy_EIRE | both | 02:17 |
| austin | oh nice | 02:18 |
| austin | how do i get it to sync? | 02:18 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: with? | 02:18 |
| austin | paddy_EIRE: Ipod video, 4th gen | 02:18 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ah.. then I would suggest banshee which is a gnome app | 02:18 |
| austin | what can i use for kde? | 02:19 |
| Paddy_EIRE | of course :) | 02:19 |
| Paddy_EIRE | it may pull down quite a few dependencies though | 02:19 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: anyways, thanks for your help.. It pains me that some functionality (essential for me) becomes crippled for some reason, and I cannot view any debug log that can point out the issue.. And in the meantime, firefox on my win xp partition (same extensions, whatnot) runs perfectly fine... oopps, did I say a bad word here? | 02:19 |
| austin | wate, so i can use banshee in kde | 02:19 |
| austin | ? | 02:19 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: linux = windows? | 02:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :P | 02:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | since when :O | 02:20 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: or even the mere mention of the word :p | 02:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hehe | 02:20 |
| austin | PSiLO: Worst come to worste use VM! | 02:20 |
| austin | idk what u guys are talking about... | 02:21 |

| dwidmann | hehehe | 02:21 |
| austin | !language | 02:21 |
| PSiL0 | austin: yeah, banshee runs fine on kubuntu.. it installs mono dependencies along with it.. | 02:21 |
| austin | PSiLO: is that bad? | 02:21 |
| austin | !language | | 02:21 |
| ubottu | : Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:21 |
| austin | :) | 02:21 |
| PSiL0 | austin: I do not recall it installing too many gnome dependencies, which I guess is why I run it for my podcasts and leave amarok for the heavy duty lifting of playing my collection ;_ | 02:22 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: no its not bad.. just not native to kde thats all | 02:22 |
| Paddy_EIRE | otherwise its perfectly suitable :) | 02:22 |
| austin | ok | 02:22 |
| austin | so what about gPodder? | 02:22 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: same here.. I just use banshee for ipod syncing | 02:22 |
| austin | i used that once, it worked great (untill it messed up) | 02:22 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gpodder is also not a native kde app | 02:23 |
| dwidmann | I've had good luck with gtkpod myself | 02:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | although I do like gpodder its nice | 02:23 |
| austin | alright so callaboratively, to go from iternets to ipod, what do you all reccoment | 02:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | banshee | 02:23 |
| austin | *reccomend | 02:23 |
| austin | banshee = 1 | 02:23 |
| PSiL0 | austin: I mean, nothing is preventing you from running gnome apps on kubuntu, especially for multimedia purposes | 02:23 |
| austin | alright cool | 02:24 |
| austin | so sudo apt-get install banshee? | 02:24 |
| PSiL0 | austin: yup | 02:24 |
| luis_ | good night guys i like to ask for ur help i am trying to get my scan working i found this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627471 first thing is done but the second says Debianize the file, i dont know what does it means much less how to do it can somebody helpme on this pls??? | 02:24 |
| luis_ | by the way i have a multifunctional epson stylus cx5600, printer is just fine, but the scan is not working according to that guide it can be | 02:25 |
| PSiL0 | austin: to get a consistant look with gnome apps on kubuntu, check this page out: http://kims-area.com/?q=node/62 | 02:26 |
| PSiL0 | austin: also check out gtk-qt-curve | 02:26 |
| BluesKaj | austin , GTKpod should work on kde , the apps will run on each other'd desktops | 02:26 |
| PSiL0 | austin: I lxappearance to get the gtk-theme and icons to appear on gnome apps in kubuntu | 02:27 |
| PSiL0 | so far so good.. | 02:27 |
| mefisto__ | luis_: it means turn a .rpm into a .deb | 02:27 |
| BluesKaj | !rpm | 02:27 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 02:27 |
| luis_ | ok and how do i do that?? | 02:27 |
| BluesKaj | !alien | 02:28 |
| mefisto__ | luis_: that page you linked us to tells you exactly how | 02:28 |
| PSiL0 | although, if this firefox issue persists, I may have to migrate back to winxp (I said it again) because I just got too used to using mouse gestures over the years... | 02:28 |
| luis_ | in the second part say to Debianize iam sorry is just that i thing i do understand what u told me but no how to do it | 02:28 |
| austin | well u know what PSiLO | 02:29 |
| austin | the day unixy2k comes, you won't even HAVE a mouse | 02:29 |
| mefisto__ | luis_: that is an old howto. did you go to the drivers download page? it has ubuntu packages | 02:30 |
| austin | PSiLO: and have you tryed the Ubuntu IRC? No offence to this room, but they've been more elpfull when it came to general apps across all linux distros | 02:30 |
| austin | hey guys, i got banshee up and running | 02:31 |
| austin | now how do i add feeds and the like | 02:31 |
| cbwcjw | If you have specific ubuntu questions that we cant answer, go to #ubuntu, if you have specific KDE questions that we cant answer, go to #kde | 02:31 |
| austin | anyonez? | 02:32 |
| PSiL0 | austin: well, I thought that since this problem cropped up after the first or second kubuntu updates post-kde4.2.0 install I would find the answer here or on the kubuntu forums | 02:33 |
| === john is now known as Guest67578 | ||
| austin | PSiL0: i've never used FF jestures, so i wouldn't know | 02:34 |
| PSiL0 | austin: right-click on podcasts? I don't know because I disabled the podcast extension after the banshee podcast update wanted to eat my core2duo cpu alive.. THe problem was that banshee decided to list every episode of every podcast (not download them) I subscribed (10k+) | 02:35 |
| unity_punk | installing intreped | 02:35 |
| unity_punk | how is it? | 02:35 |
| austin | PSiLO: xD shiznit | 02:35 |
| austin | how did u do that, so i like, don't make the smae mistake | 02:35 |
| PSiL0 | austin: well, I subscribed to a few npr feeds, bbcnews, and world soccer daily... when listing all of the podcast episodes, banshee thought it would be fun to see if it could fry my cpu on the spot | 02:37 |
| unity_punk | uhoh | 02:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | austin: well you could take the plunge.. "learning by doing" is my motto | 02:37 |

| unity_punk | *compiz | 02:37 |
| austin | how would i go about syncing it? w.o loosing my muzic | 02:37 |
| austin | do i sync music with amarak and podcasts with banshee? | 02:38 |
| PSiL0 | unity_punk: kde 4.2.0 runs well using kwin.. plus, I used kwin ever since kde 4.1.2... I tried compiz on one intrepid install, and it didn't do much, ahem.. | 02:38 |
| PSiL0 | unity_punk: kwin has most of the eye candy from compiz, I think... | 02:39 |
| cshaw | hey all | 02:39 |
| mefisto__ | unity_punk: try installing it in virtualbox and see what it's like. that's what I have done, and I've decided to wait for jaunty before upgrading my main kubuntu install | 02:40 |
| Sir_Captain | hello all, i was wondering if you had any suggestions for a program to copy dvds. i tried copying an encrypted dvd with k3b, but it didn't work. i also tried acidrip, but didn't get it to work either. any ideas? | 02:44 |
| mefisto__ | Sir_Captain: k9copy | 02:45 |
| Sir_Captain | mefisto__: rgr, i'll try. thanks | 02:45 |
| austin | do i just plug in my ipod for banshee? will it auto dedect? | 02:45 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: hmmm, with compositing off, the firefox bug is gone... | 02:46 |
| mefisto__ | Sir_Captain: even lets you easily remove chapters you don't want (eg, trailers, logos) | 02:46 |
| austin | Sir_Captain: Just downlaed it, looks good tome :) i'de give it a shot | 02:47 |
| mefisto__ | PSiL0: sounds like kwin was overriding something that mouse gestures extension was waiting for | 02:47 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: Yeah, I'm messing around with the compositing settings right now in desktop effects | 02:48 |
| felipe__ | hola | 02:48 |

| PSiL0 | mefisto__: any idea how kwin might be doing this or where could I find the appropriate settings? | 02:51 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: I did notice that my problem came up after a kwin upgrade | 02:52 |
| shumba | I can see my usb device with lsusb, but where is is in /dev/* so that I can mount it, or is there a different way to mount it? | 02:53 |
| mefisto__ | PSiL0: no idea. I guess a systematic way to try finding out is to disable all the desktop effects, then enable them one at a time until you get mouse gestures not working | 02:54 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: well, it is definitely it is not opengl since xrender has the same problem.. *sigh* I might have to do what you recommended just now | 02:54 |
| shumba | anyone knows how to repair a damaged usb drive, please help | 02:56 |
| mefisto__ | PSiL0: you could enable say 5 effects at a time, but that might get confusing | 02:56 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: well, I'm turning all of them off, while leaving compositing on to test things out at the moment | 02:57 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: well, leaving compositing on while turning all of the effects does not appear to have fixed it.. the only time when the bug is fixed is when I turn off compositing (shift-alt-f12) | 02:58 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: So, I think it is the kwin's compositing engine at fault here... | 02:59 |
| Walzmyn | alt+f1 does not bring up the kmenu, i tried to set a keyboard shortcut and it tells me that it is conflicting with a shortcut that will open kmenu | 02:59 |
| PSiL0 | mefisto__: time to file a bug report I guess | 02:59 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: when the usb drive is plugged in, sudo fdisk -l | 03:00 |

| === root is now known as Guest40490 | ||
| shumba | Any alternatives to Testdisk recovery tool. I tried it but didn't work | 03:05 |

| Paddy_EIRE | shumba: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 03:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | worth a try.. its a handy cd to have in your arsenal.. and its a small download. | 03:11 |
| === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball | ||
| mefisto__ | shumba: try this: tail -f /var/log/messages then plug in the usb drive and see what messages turn up | 03:13 |
| shumba | I have deleted the /var/log/messages, and the SystemRescueCD already has TestiDisk and Gparted both of which have failed | 03:17 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: you deleted /var/log/messages why? | 03:18 |
| shumba | mefisto, I wanted my system to write fresh contents. it doesnt seem to do that now, but I think I will be alright | 03:19 |
| shumba | I was trying to delete everything but the messages file so i typed #rm -f messages*, and I lost messages as well, lol | 03:21 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: to create an empty messages file: sudo touch /var/log/messages | 03:21 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: then this: tail -f /var/log/messages and watch for messages when you plug in the usb | 03:22 |
| shumba | sory I have created one already, then tried to disconnect and connect my USB to see if anything new will be written to messages file, but nothing so far | 03:22 |
| shumba | useful command, i will try it right away ... | 03:22 |
| shumba | this USB drive is a tough nut, mefisto, nothing is happening with the tail command | 03:25 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: what happened to it? | 03:25 |
| mefisto__ | shumba: you're sure the usb port is definitely working? | 03:26 |
| shumba | the port is fine, I have 3 others working on it. also, I can see the problem drive when I type lsusb | 03:27 |
| shumba | mefisto: do u know any partitioning or repair utilities that could help? I think that is the problem | 03:29 |
| michael1 | Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 without adept_manager? From the commandline would be nice. | 03:38 |
| halfsane | michael1: have you tried apt-get update -d ? | 03:39 |
| halfsane | michael1: might work if you boot too recovery mode and drop to prompt with netoworking | 03:39 |
| michael1 | Well, I've already upgraded, but it was interrupted. What I want to do is see what was left undone. For example, my sources.list wasn't completely changed from hardy to intrepid. | 03:40 |
| halfsane | the update manager isn't catching that? | 03:42 |
| michael1 | Apparently not...the lines not updated were commented out, the backports and kin. But things like some plasma applets aren't working and some 3.5 wasn't removed...so I'm thinking there are still things that need to be done. | 03:43 |
| michael1 | My upgrade at work wasn't interrupted, and plasma is working fine there. | 03:43 |
| halfsane | sounds like you need a way to sweep through everything again.. i wonder if you trick your install to basically think its intrepid and start all over? | 03:44 |
| michael1 | Well, it is intrepid now. Just I think incomplete possibly. It was installing the downloaded packages when it was interrupted, and I'm wondering if there is anything that comes after that. I'm hoping not and I can call it a finished update. | 03:46 |
| michael1 | Well...what does the install check to see if it's intrepid or hardy? | 03:47 |
| designs703 | Hi everyone. KDE 4 is great! | 03:48 |

| halfsane | designs703: synaptic should take care of that | 03:50 |
| michael1 | Well, I'm hoping to avoid that if possible. I have my /home on a separate partition...might wait till 9.04 instead if there are no major problems. | 03:50 |
| designs703 | halfsane: I mean, what should I target? The top-most packages are usually meta-packages. | 03:51 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: do-release-upgrade ? | 03:52 |
| halfsane | michael1: 9.04 is pretty stable , i have been running it for weeks now. going up to that would not be a bad idea | 03:52 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading look at the bottom of that page, under "network upgrade for ubuntu servers" | 03:53 |

| jag217 | Hi I just installed Ubuntu on my new mini 9 | 04:01 |
| jag217 | thank you ub0ottu | 04:01 |
| jag217 | keyboard a bit crowded | 04:01 |
| mefisto__ | designs703: what widget package? I can't find where you said that | 04:01 |
| jag217 | can .avi's be played in ubuntu | 04:02 |
| designs703 | jag217: Try VLC. I think so | 04:02 |
| jag217 | thanks | 04:02 |
| jag217 | got to go starbucks closing | 04:02 |
| designs703 | Where can I turn off the desktop effects in KDE? | 04:05 |
| mefisto__ | designs703: right-click a window titlebar, configure window behaviour | 04:07 |
| designs703 | mefisto: thanks. Sorry for the dumb questions; I haven't used Linux on a desktop in a couple years | 04:09 |
| mefisto__ | designs703: no prob. kde 4 is quite new for everyone anyway | 04:11 |
| === root is now known as Guest68647 | ||
| designs703 | OK, thanks for all the help. see you guys around | 04:16 |
| mefisto__ | designs703: is gtk-qt-engine what you're looking for? | 04:16 |
| Peeps | Gah | 04:20 |
| Peeps | How do I get my taskbar back? | 04:20 |
| Peeps | I accidentilly removed it. :( | 04:20 |
| Peeps | Anyone? | 04:21 |
| michael1 | mefisto__: Should that be as root? Does it apply for kubuntu as well? | 04:22 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: what as root? | 04:23 |
| michael1 | mefisto__: do-release-upgrade. But I'm checking the webpage you sent...I didn't realize you sent it, too. | 04:24 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: yes, sudo with that | 04:24 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: as that page says | 04:25 |
| michael1 | mefisto__: Yes, reading it now... | 04:26 |
| mefisto__ | Peeps: kde 4 ? | 04:27 |
| Peeps | Yeah | 04:28 |
| mefisto__ | Peeps: right-click the desktop, add panel | 04:28 |
| michael1 | mefisto__: It says there are no new releases. I was in the process of upgrading to 8.10 when my disk filled up while installing the downloaded packages. Should that be filed as a bug report, by the way? | 04:29 |
| Peeps | How do I move it to the bottom? | 04:29 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: are your repos in sources.list intrepid now, or still hardy? | 04:30 |
| mefisto__ | Peeps: in kde 4.2, you can click that cashew-shaped button on the panel, and there is a "screen edge" control handle that you can drag. don't know how pre-4.2 does it | 04:33 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: also, is your disk still full? | 04:34 |
| michael1 | No, I've cleared some off now, and also aptitude installed the rest of what was waiting to be installed. | 04:34 |
| mefisto__ | michael1: what does lsb_release -a say? | 04:35 |
| michael1 | Repos are intrepid now, but the backports wasn't not automatically changed...I had to do that myself...it was commented out, though. | 04:35 |
| michael1 | No LSB modules are available. | 04:36 |
| michael1 | Distributor ID: Ubuntu|Description: Ubuntu 8.10|Release: 8.10|Codename: intrepid | 04:36 |
| jimmy51_home | hello, in kubuntu 8.10 can i set up the windows button to open the launch menu? | 04:46 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: there's no easy way to do that, as far as I know at least | 04:47 |
| jimmy51_home | mefisto__: aww | 04:47 |
| jimmy51_home | is that something that kde 4.2 would support? | 04:48 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: I assume you mean the windows key on the keyboard | 04:48 |
| jimmy51_home | mefisto__: yeah... i'm not sure what it's called but on my kybd it has the window logo on it and no text | 04:48 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: you can do winkey+some other key | 04:48 |
| jimmy51_home | mefisto__: where do i configure that? | 04:48 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: I think the default is alt+F1 | 04:48 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: systemsettings > keyboard & mouse > global keyboard shortcuts | 04:50 |
| jimmy51_home | hmmm | 04:50 |
| jimmy51_home | i've tried to set a few in there and they never seem to work | 04:50 |
| jimmy51_home | it looks like it sets ok, but the keys never trigger anything | 04:50 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: do you have kde 4 ? | 04:50 |
| jimmy51_home | yeah | 04:50 |
| jimmy51_home | whatever shipped with 8.10 | 04:50 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: do you see a dropdown menu KDE component above the shortcuts? | 04:51 |
| jimmy51_home | yeah | 04:51 |
| jimmy51_home | i selected Plasma Workspace, and then Application Launcher | 04:52 |
| jimmy51_home | i then selected custom | 04:52 |
| jimmy51_home | and tried a few combos..... ALT+~, Meta+~ | 04:53 |
| jimmy51_home | didn't work | 04:53 |
| jimmy51_home | but i should point out that ALT+F1 didnt' work either | 04:53 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: what about right-click kmenu. do you have "application launcher settings" ? | 04:56 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: kickoff menu, I should say | 04:56 |
| jimmy51_home | yeah | 04:56 |
| jimmy51_home | i have it set on classic | 04:56 |
| mefisto__ | jimmy51_home: can you set the keyboard shortcut there? | 04:57 |
| jimmy51_home | no, just the view and format | 04:57 |
| jimmy51_home | oh well, i guess i'll just see if it works in 9.04 in april :) | 04:59 |
| jimmy51_home | thanks for trying! | 04:59 |
| jimmy51_home | time for bed here. have a good one | 05:00 |

| tbenst | Hi | 05:14 |
| tbenst | I need some help with "apt-get update" | 05:14 |
| === Mantis is now known as Mantis86 | ||
| tbenst | on every line i'm getting an error like: | 05:16 |
| tbenst | W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' | 05:16 |
| tbenst | any thoughts? | 05:16 |
| dutler | tbenst: dns?? can you ping the server? | 05:16 |
| tbenst | one sec | 05:17 |
| tbenst | I can ping from ubuntu@ubuntu but not root@ubuntu | 05:18 |
| tbenst | i'm running the live cd right now | 05:18 |
| tbenst | already installed kubuntu, and i'm trying to install grub right now | 05:19 |
| mefisto__ | tbenst: grub should be installed | 05:19 |
| dutler | you can resolve "us.archive.ubuntu.com" verified via ping from the user ubuntu but not root? | 05:20 |
| tbenst | i had to uncheck it from the ubiquity install as i'm running a "fakeraid" | 05:20 |
| tbenst | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 05:20 |
| tbenst | the installer always crashed when trying to install grub | 05:20 |
| dutler | you need to install lilo then right? grub doesnt boot softriad? | 05:20 |
| tbenst | you could be right | 05:22 |
| tbenst | anyhow, so currently i'm trying to install dmraid to my hd installation | 05:22 |
| tbenst | so i mounted the proper partition of my raid into the live cd | 05:23 |
| tbenst | *in the | 05:23 |
| tbenst | and changed the root | 05:24 |
| tbenst | and that's where i'm having the access problems with apt-get | 05:24 |
| tbenst | i need dmraid before i put a bootloader on | 05:24 |
| dutler | gesh... sounds like a much harder way to install ...... :) my pass troubles the same error was dns related. my pile actiontec router gets hung up and restarting it or manual setting dns in the kubuntu box fixed the isseu | 05:25 |
| mefisto__ | tbenst: you could try downloading grub (and dependencies) from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/grub | 05:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hey mefisto__ | 05:28 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hard at it :) | 05:28 |
| dutler | mefisto__ grub does softraid ? am i on crack or did older version not support softraid? | 05:28 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I solved that PSisomethings problem and he is gone :( | 05:28 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: don't really know much about it, but that fakeraid page tbenst is following says to install it | 05:29 |
| dutler | ok... need to make sure im not full of it :) thanks | 05:29 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: did he give you his email or contact details? | 05:30 |

| Paddy_EIRE | tbenst: what are you passing out your gmail addy tbenst | 05:31 |
| stefan | hello | 05:32 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: not sure who you mean | 05:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hey stefan | 05:32 |
| stefan | geil ich bin drin | 05:32 |
| khalidmian | does ktorrent 3.2 come in a deb file ? if nt can one install it via sudo reason for asking this is my inability to install tar files | 05:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: that PSi guy who wanted gestures to work in FF | 05:32 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I have a solutuion | 05:32 |
| stefan | ich hab mir grad xubuntu zerschossen | 05:32 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: oh. no he didn't. what's the solution, out of curiosity? | 05:32 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: he found turning off compositing cured it, but didn't get any further | 05:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: it works fine with no effects... there is only a limited number of effect plugins that would interfere with it you see | 05:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | so its elimination | 05:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I dont know what the FF gestures where that were interfering though | 05:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | so I cant finalise it | 05:34 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: well I suggested he turn off all effects, then enable them one by one to find which is the prob. but with ALL effects off but compositing on, still no mouse gestures | 05:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | mefisto__: no no no | 05:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 05:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Its only one of em that contain that shortcut | 05:35 |
| gords | hi! i just installed kde on ubuntu8 hardy 2.6.24. how will i enable audio support? when i use headset | 05:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | change the shortcut and YAAAy all effects and gestures will work | 05:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | its simple really | 05:36 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: but he had them all off. still wouldn't work | 05:36 |
| gords | hi! i just installed kde on ubuntu8 hardy 2.6.24. how will i enable audio support? when i use headset it doesn't have a sound. i'm sure its working since i tested it a while ago. any ideas please? | 05:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | that is because there are still key bindings in "effects" in general also | 05:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | so that would have been even easier | 05:37 |
| dtchen | gords: configure the sound service to use your headset as the default audio device | 05:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | gah.. I will get him someother day.. most likely.. and hey nice meeting you mefisto__ | 05:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :) | 05:38 |
| mefisto__ | Paddy_EIRE: ok, and you too. good work finding the solution :) | 05:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | sure thing :) | 05:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I would have found it sooner but I was watching the omen 3 | 05:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :/ | 05:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :P | 05:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | hehe | 05:39 |
| gords | dtchen, where should i do that? i just started using kubuntu | 05:41 |
| mefisto__ | gords: the asoundconf command might help you switching default cards, etc | 05:41 |
| dtchen | gords: what mefisto__ typed, or use the Multimedia menu in System Settings, .. | 05:43 |
| khalidmian | would does this mean ? cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`.. | 05:44 |
| gords | dtchen, mefisto, thanks | 05:45 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: hang on a sec I have a solution for you | 05:46 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: ahh.... | 05:47 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: just a moment till I get my head straight | 05:47 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :P | 05:47 |
| mefisto__ | PSiL0: we were on the right track, but wrong assumptions :) | 05:47 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: sorry, but kwin hung when I tried to debug it with gbd | 05:47 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no need for that | 05:47 |
| Paddy_EIRE | this is actually something simple although I need to boot the lappy for that | 05:48 |
| Paddy_EIRE | and its 05:48 here D: | 05:48 |
| Paddy_EIRE | wanna resume tomorrow.. you could send me an email to let me know when you might be on | 05:49 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: ahhhh | 05:49 |
| PSiL0 | PSiL0: I'll be on at around 9am PST | 05:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ok.. I will look out for you pal :) | 05:50 |
| PSiL0 | Paddy_EIRE: thanks, man... take it easy... till then. | 05:50 |
| PSiL0 | :) | 05:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PSiL0: for all I know I may only get an hour sleep | 05:51 |

| serjofpower | so, this is going to sound retarded, | 05:56 |
| serjofpower | but does anybody speak in this chat room? | 05:56 |
| dutler | sure and sure :D | 05:56 |
| serjofpower | lol | 05:56 |
| dutler | this is actually one of the most helpfull channles ive been on | 05:57 |
| serjofpower | how can I find other rooms with other topics? | 05:57 |
| dutler | good look on #centos if you need help on one of the asterisk/freepbx distros | 05:57 |
| mefisto__ | serjofpower: other help topics? or just any channels? | 05:58 |
| dutler | http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode | 05:58 |
| serjofpower | nice | 05:59 |
| serjofpower | thanks dutler | 05:59 |
| dutler | speaking of this bieng one of the must helpfull channels ive experianced, i have this odd issue with konqueror 4.2. When i browse folders, it always opens a new windows. ive dug around in the settings... no resolve | 06:02 |
| serjofpower | hmmm | 06:04 |
| serjofpower | try holding "shift" or "Control" when you do it | 06:04 |
| serjofpower | or maybe Alt | 06:04 |
| serjofpower | you do something similar in nautilus to keep it from opening new window | 06:04 |
| serjofpower | windows* | 06:04 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: konqueror? dolphin? | 06:06 |
| dutler | it used not not do this... ive bene on kunbutu since 7.10 and always a kde fan... had kde 4.2 for a few weeks and it just started a few days agp | 06:06 |
| dutler | konqueror | 06:06 |
| serjofpower | hmmm, I'm honestly not sure with that | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | so, I've got a question, | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | I'm at searchirc.com, | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | and it gives the list of differnet topics | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | and names such as #Windows | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | with "EFnet" next to it | 06:07 |
| serjofpower | how do i find out the server address to connect to? | 06:07 |
| dutler | just join the channel name... such as #kubuntu | 06:08 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: in konqueror's settings, File Management, you can turn off "open folders in separate windows" | 06:08 |
| dutler | oh its off... | 06:08 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: and in General, turn on "open links in new tab instead of new window" maybe? | 06:09 |
| dutler | yep, have that selected as well | 06:09 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: ok, try file management, file associations | 06:10 |
| dutler | links out side konqueror get opened in a new tab, but opening links in konquer while file browsing get new window.. ok will chekc that out | 06:10 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: in inode, show file in embedded viewer | 06:10 |
| dutler | what about the config file the "konqueror's settings, File Management, you can turn off "open folders in separate windows" | 06:11 |
| dutler | ? | 06:11 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: have you just recently turned that off? maybe konqueror needs a restart? | 06:12 |
| designs703 | Hi everyone. Where do I go to set keyboard shortcuts in KDE4? | 06:12 |
| designs703 | nevermind, found it | 06:12 |
| designs703 | Couldn't find system settings, but F2 did. | 06:12 |
| dutler | inode settingis correct... embeded. i have had a systems restart since experianceing this | 06:12 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: doesn't happen here on 4.2 | 06:13 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: and it sounds like your settings are like mine | 06:13 |
| dutler | ya... and it use to work normal... but a few days ago.... i dont know what i did but something got jacked | 06:14 |
| dutler | oh well. thanks for trying. | 06:14 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: just curious, does middle-click on a folder open it in a new tab? | 06:15 |
| dutler | no, but i can right click and select new tab | 06:15 |
| dutler | anyone get webkit to work inplace of khtml with konqueror? | 06:18 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: interestingly, I can't get konqueror to open folders in separate windows with that setting in file management | 06:20 |
| dutler | mefisto__ ill trade ya :) id like to verify that the settings shown int he gui are actaully geting set. im looking for the proper config file now | 06:21 |
| mefisto__ | dutler: .kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 06:23 |

| gords | any idea please? | 07:01 |
| dutler | try the #ubuntu channel if its not a kubuntu issue? you can search the ubuntu site for intall kerenl source or you can search with your packagemanager | 07:04 |

| mefisto__ | gords: try sudo apt-get install linux-source | 07:05 |
| Name141 | Hello, I am having a problem with 8.10 not getting an IP# from the router. It makes the router light twinkle like there is hi activity, however it never gets an IP# and connects to the network. Is there anyway to fix that ? | 07:11 |
| Name141 | high* | 07:11 |
| dutler | ru configured for dhcp? | 07:12 |
| Name141 | this doesn't happen in 8.04 | 07:12 |
| Name141 | I guess? I even tried to manually give it a manual IP# | 07:12 |
| dutler | what does /etc/network show you? is your interface shown? | 07:13 |
| Name141 | dutler: I don't know, I ran it live. | 07:14 |
| Name141 | dutler: does the same thing installed | 07:14 |
| dutler | open your terminal and type ifconfig | 07:14 |
| Name141 | er uh.. | 07:15 |
| Name141 | Obviously I'm not on it. However, I guess I can install it virtually as it does the same thing | 07:15 |
| dutler | ya... your problem is not typical (i think) so you should prob have the system available to troubleshoot | 07:16 |
| Name141 | Well, I installed Hardy with no issues. However, I got a new external hard drive that makes hardy lock up. | 07:17 |
| Name141 | (For other reasons unknown to me) | 07:17 |
| Name141 | Yet 8.10 picks it up fine installed and live with no issues. | 07:18 |
| Name141 | But the NIC twinkles around and doesn't connect | 07:18 |
| Name141 | With hardy I also had to make it "--acpi=off" to boot | 07:19 |
| dutler | i dont want to sound like some "elite jerk" but not twinkels around doesnt tell us anything... thats why i was asking for your ifconfig output. | 07:19 |
| Name141 | So if this doesn't work, I'm banking on the next release (Less they brake something there too) | 07:19 |
| Name141 | OK. | 07:19 |
| Name141 | The router light flashes while the connection box just twirles around in arrows. Never connecting to the network and getting an internal IP # | 07:20 |
| dutler | twinkle makes me think that you may have a physical connection... | 07:20 |
| Name141 | All the computers and modem are hardwired. | 07:20 |
| dutler | that sounds like its tring to get a ip adress from your dhcp server but its not happening.... and you KNOW the dhcp wroks right... | 07:21 |
| dutler | can you open the termincal and type ifconfig? | 07:21 |
| Name141 | I'm waiting on virutalbox to download and see. | 07:21 |
| Name141 | Since the problem also happens virtually. | 07:22 |
| dutler | oh ic, sorry ... | 07:22 |
| Name141 | (and I should have listened to it) | 07:22 |
| Name141 | (instead of taking the time and installing it) | 07:22 |
| dutler | here is is an older howto, but all the tools are still used | 07:23 |
| dutler | im off on a soda run, bb in 20min | 07:23 |
| Name141 | Root beer? | 07:23 |
| Name141 | BTW: also happens in Wubi, etc | 07:24 |
| dutler | b4 i go, if this happens in a virtual machine, i think it may be your dhcp server. tell us about your network set up | 07:26 |
| dutler | you at home with a dsl modem type setup? | 07:27 |
| Name141 | No, Sat | 07:27 |
| Name141 | The HN7000S is connected to one of the LAN ports (like a switch I guess) | 07:27 |
| Name141 | along with the other computers. | 07:27 |
| dutler | many computers? | 07:27 |
| Name141 | 3 | 07:28 |
| Name141 | 1 is the sat modem , of course. | 07:28 |
| Name141 | It's only a 4 port switch | 07:28 |
| dutler | ok. an your on the network right now? what is your os? | 07:28 |
| Name141 | XP | 07:28 |
| dutler | start -> run -> cmd.exe | 07:29 |
| Name141 | OK it's up | 07:29 |
| dutler | then in the console type "ipconfig renew" | 07:29 |
| Name141 | Error: unrecongnized or incomplete command line. | 07:30 |
| dutler | i thing...it been awhile since i was on windows.. may be ipconfig /renew all | 07:30 |
| Name141 | oh | 07:30 |
| Name141 | it's /renew | 07:30 |
| Name141 | OK, what do you want me to look for there? | 07:30 |
| Name141 | IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.5 | 07:30 |
| Name141 | Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 | 07:31 |
| Name141 | Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 | 07:31 |
| dutler | i just want to make sure your working computer can recive an ip address via dhcp | 07:31 |
| dutler | when you get virtualbox set up and kubunut iso, poke around and learn how to do a md5 verificaiton of the iso data integraty | 07:32 |
| dutler | do this before you install | 07:32 |
| Name141 | They come from the shipit | 07:33 |
| dutler | ok never mind | 07:33 |
| Name141 | er | 07:34 |
| markus_ | Hi. Can I install a .sh file on kubuntu? thanks | 07:34 |
| Name141 | But yeah, Kubuntu/Ubuntu came from Shipit | 07:34 |
| markus_ | how do I install a .sh file on kubuntu? | 07:35 |
| mefisto__ | markus_: you run a .sh file, which may install something, or may do something else | 07:35 |
| mefisto__ | markus_: anyway, cd to the directory where the .sh file is | 07:36 |
| mefisto__ | markus_: then do this: ./name-of-file.sh | 07:36 |
| figol | hi all | 07:37 |
| markus_ | mefisto, thanks. will do this | 07:37 |
| mefisto__ | markus_: if that doesn't work, you may need to set it as executable: chmod +x name-of-file.sh | 07:38 |
| Name141 | dutler: It didn't screw up inside of virutal box. I'll try a Wubi install to see what happens | 07:44 |
| dutler | name141 ok im back. if it doesnt work, use http://pastebin.com/ to give us a short link of your lspci output | 07:46 |
| mefisto__ | Name141: in vbox, it will use whatever is working in XP, so it's no test at all really | 07:48 |
| dutler | name141: exactly, thats what it tripped me out when you said youhad the same problems in vb | 07:49 |

| Ghawkes | hi gaiz ... this is where I bother you with all my annoying questions? ;) | 08:25 |
| mefisto__ | go ahead | 08:29 |
| Ghawkes | ok, so I was wondering if there is a way to put my korganizer to-do entries on desktop | 08:33 |
| Ghawkes | like plasmoid or something so I have it in sight all the time | 08:34 |
| Ghawkes | I searched briefly but it's too general, google gives just unrelated results ... | 08:35 |
| mefisto__ | Ghawkes: it's a good idea. there's a plasmoid called "remember the milk" which can use google calendar and similar services, so I imagine korganizer data would work too. may be something to look into | 08:45 |
| Ghawkes | thanks, I'm going to research it a little | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 08:45 |
| mefisto__ | Ghawkes: I'm doing it too :) | 08:47 |
| Ghawkes | mefisto__: It seems that plasmoid is still in developement ... | 09:00 |
| Ghawkes | Also, the RTM service is online ... if I want to use it also for work I'm not confortable with the idea that all my schedule is in somebodys hands | 09:01 |
| mefisto__ | Ghawkes: I can't get RTM to read tasks/events created in korganizer either. Only RTM events to korganizer, not the other way around | 09:01 |
| Ghawkes | mefisto__: yeah, it seems it's designed only to display tasks from RTM | 09:03 |
| mefisto__ | Ghawkes: it's selfish :) it only shares one way | 09:04 |
| andy__ | mahlzeit | 09:04 |
| Ghawkes | mefisto__: It seems there are many tools to export from RTM ... it's selfish yeah, that would be because it's proprietary :) | 09:05 |
| === andy__ is now known as Suiko | ||
| Ghawkes | isn't there some open-source app/server for time management which I could put on my server and use? | 09:07 |
| aedl | hola a todoso | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !find ntpd | 09:09 |
| ubottu | Found: cyrus-nntpd-2.2, openntpd, ntpdate | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: see above | 09:09 |
| Suiko | question ! is the new kde4.2 already released for kubu? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | kubi? | 09:10 |
| Suiko | kubuntu.... | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Suiko: http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 09:11 |
| Ghawkes | hm, I meant personal time management like events, to-do lists, calendars and so on | 09:12 |
| Suiko | i hope, that's more stable then 4.1 | 09:15 |
| Suiko | konqueror crashes every hour | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Suiko: try it | 09:15 |
| Ghawkes | This is what I was looking for http://www.opensync.org/ but it still seems to be in developement and probably hard to use | 09:20 |
| Ghawkes | also, is there a 'official'/good howto to speed up kubuntu? I found few of tutorials like that but many are outdated and when I did what it says it didn't really helped :) | 09:25 |
| OxDeadC0de | there's one way that will work 100% for sure.. but you really won't like it. | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: i know of ways to speed up firefox but if you websearch stuff you can find some nice guides | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | OxDeadC0de: ooh im all curious, is it uninstall x server :) | 09:27 |
| OxDeadC0de | lol nope, i was ganna suggest "buy a new computer" :P | 09:27 |
| OxDeadC0de | but that one's good too | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: if you fancy a chuckle you could play with hdparm to get more horespower from your slow hard drive | 09:28 |
| Ghawkes | ActionParsnip: yeah, that's probably the only thing I haven't tried yet | 09:29 |
| OxDeadC0de | ncurses - xorg = ftw | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: you can reduce the number of ttys | 09:30 |
| OxDeadC0de | Ghawkes: You can also sort through lsmod to unload unneeded kernel modules, and disable unneeded system services (All at your own risk) | 09:30 |
| Ghawkes | ActionParsnip: that I saw only outdated tutorials using inittab which is not present in new kubuntu installations | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: theres also a quirk with the hosts file | 09:31 |
| Suiko | i think i will go back to good ol' gentoo | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Suiko: ubuntu isnt for everyone (gentoo rocks) | 09:32 |
| Ghawkes | I'm using gentoo at home but the compilation times drive me crazy :) | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: do it while you sleep if you can | 09:32 |
| Suiko | nah, emerge of 2 days \m/ | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | yikes, i thought mine was bad when i setup my router | 09:33 |
| Ghawkes | ActionParsnip: I would have to sleep 16 hours a day :) | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghawkes: emerge fluxbox...go on holiday ;) | 09:34 |

| ct529 | when I click on show source in konqueror, it opens kwrite, but I would like it to open kate .... how do you change that? | 12:49 |
| ct529 | Ramblurr: it looks like it is in use .... did you by any chance open and mount it withut realising? | 12:49 |
| Ramblurr | no | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis64 | or hibernated/suspended windows.... | 12:50 |
| Ramblurr | it's because it was used on a friends windows computer, and he didn't eject it properly | 12:50 |
| Ramblurr | i've mounted ntfs with -o force before, with no problems | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis64 | You need to put it on a windows box and have windows 'check' it UNLESS you want to risk data loss | 12:50 |
| Ramblurr | but i want HAL/dolphin/dbus to do this for me | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis64 | You could use the force optiuon.. but thats a bad habbit to get into | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis64 | setting hal to use -o force . could be very bad. | 12:50 |
| ct529 | Ramblurr: I would not set the force option .... I would try to solve the problem .... | 12:52 |
| ct529 | Ramblurr: to avoid data loss | 12:52 |
| ct529 | Ramblurr: plug it in .... instead of opening it, the device notified should allow you to eject it properly .... it may be that it cleans the locks .... try! | 12:53 |
| ct529 | when I click on show source in konqueror, it opens kwrite, but I would like it to open kate .... how do you change that? | 12:54 |
| drayen | anyone use Virtual box with 8.10 + KDE4 ? | 12:56 |

| ct529 | drayen: yes I do | 12:56 |
| ct529 | drayen: what is the error? | 12:56 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: ouch. I'm getting an update for vbox right now | 12:57 |
| drayen | mefisto good luck !!! | 12:57 |
| drayen | ct529: well, when i was updating | 12:58 |
| drayen | the system hung, it said something about prepairing updates for Vboc | 12:59 |
| drayen | box | 12:59 |
| drayen | i rebooted, and it then dumped me into a command prompt, trying to startx tells me it cant find my NVidia module | 12:59 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: tried installing it again? or dpkg --configure -a ? | 13:00 |
| drayen | to make matters worse, it seems networking it knackered too | 13:00 |
| ct529 | drayen: try dpkg --configure -a as root! | 13:00 |
| drayen | kk | 13:00 |
| drayen | then what? | 13:00 |
| drayen | no output | 13:01 |
| ct529 | drayen: what does it return? | 13:01 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: do you have the virtualbox repo in sources? | 13:02 |
| drayen | mefisto__: yes | 13:02 |
| drayen | ct529: nothing, just starts a new command line, no output | 13:02 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: try reinstalling virtualbox-2.1 (that's the update I just got) | 13:03 |
| drayen | was there a new kernel out today as well? | 13:03 |

| drayen | ct529: i cant, no networking | 13:03 |

| drayen | ct529: Nvidia erm, not sure on the spec off hand... | 13:04 |
| ct529 | drayen: lspci as root please | 13:04 |
| drayen | 2 ticks, was trying an older kernel | 13:04 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: my guess is something wrong with the vboxdrv module not installed/not loading properly | 13:05 |
| ct529 | drayen: did you by any chance restart the system in a kernel without the nvidia module and network card module? it sounds a bit like it | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis64 | aaron_, sounds like a typo on like 55 | 13:05 |
| aaron_ | ya i gotta edit the sources.list file but it wont let me save after removing it from line 55 | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis64 | its a system file. thus you need to edit with root user permissions/privilages | 13:06 |
| drayen | ct529: could well be, but i've not compiled any kernels or anything like that, its all stock | 13:06 |
| drayen | i know better than to play with dragons ;) | 13:06 |
| aaron_ | i dont know how to do that | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sudo editoryoulike /path/to/file | 13:07 |

| mefisto__ | aaron_: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis64 | where editoryouline can be 'nano' if you like nano | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis64 | i like vi, or geany | 13:12 |
| drayen | ct529: i cant, the machine with the problem is not currently connecting to the netwokr (i'm on a windows laptop atm) | 13:12 |
| salmonel | has anybody installed kde 4.2 in his kubuntu ? | 13:12 |
| drayen | ct529: going to try some of the older K's to see if they have the modules, so i can at least get networking back up | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis64 | salmonel, yes. | 13:12 |
| drayen | ct529: the i will try dpgk --configure -a again and apt-get update | 13:13 |
| salmonel | i have installed from synaptic and now i can't log in in graphical mode | 13:13 |
| drayen | to see if that fixs things | 13:13 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : how can i go back were it worked back in 4.1 ? | 13:13 |
| mefisto__ | drayen: you could try blacklisting the vbox module | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis64 | salmonel, no idea. You dident ask me that. :) it works here. | 13:13 |
| ct529 | drayen: yes, but you can still lsmod, and tell us which modules are loaded | 13:13 |
| drayen | onit | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis64 | I would say try a different window manager/desktop -= see if that works.. does KDM work? | 13:13 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : lucky you | 13:13 |
| salmonel | no kdm no working | 13:14 |
| salmonel | it fails | 13:14 |
| ct529 | drayen: have you tried with restarting the other kernels, to see if at leats one of them works? | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis64 | sounds like the video drivers are some how messed up. you could try 'startx' from a console and see if any errors show up | 13:14 |
| salmonel | startx e? hmmm ok | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis64 | startx | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis64 | no e :) | 13:15 |
| salmonel | i thought /etc/init.d restart was ok | 13:15 |
| salmonel | i haven't used startx since last year :-) | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis64 | /etc/init.d restart sounds wrong to me... | 13:15 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : why ? | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | /etc/init.d kdm restart restarts kdm | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | /etc/init.d SERVICENAME restart restarts whateverservice | 13:16 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : yes of course i misspelled :-) | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | Just 'restart' is most likely wrong :_) | 13:16 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : sorry | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | theres also the 'service' command that does the same thing. | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | with less typing | 13:16 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : but that did'nt work either | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis64 | service ssh restart | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis64 | 'dident work' tells us very little.. did you see any error messages? pastebin the output so the channel can see it... | 13:17 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : nice i did'nt new it thanks | 13:17 |
| salmonel | Dr_Willis64, : i will do my best to find the error messages because i can't login with my wifi from console (now i am in windows...) | 13:18 |

| drayen | and doesnt fix the problem "apt-get update" reports | 13:21 |

| mneptok | dolo: first, see if there's a system-wide media prefpane to set ALSA as the playback architecture. | 14:30 |

| pm2 | Hi - I'm running Kubuntu Linux on some SPARC boxes. I have about 20 sparcs (sunblade 150's) and I'd like to try to network boot them somehow. All of the docs I'm finding online seem to make use of syslinux, which is x86 only. Any advice on how to make a PXE boot image for a Sparc? | 15:01 |

| Authority_ | If my K Menu were to stop responding, is there another way to trigger a graceful logout? CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't seem to be doing anything | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis64 | alt-ctrl-backspace, then alt-ctrl-delete.. OR alt-ctrl-f1 and login and use 'reboot' command | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis64 | or just restart the X server. :) ifyou just want to force X to restart | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis64 | 'sudo service kdm restart' | 15:10 |
| Authority_ | Yes, none of those are graceful logouts though | 15:10 |
| Dr_Willis64 | if X is hung.. its hung.. theres no gracefull to it | 15:10 |
| shadeslayer_ | hehe,they should add Ctrl+alt+delete for something | 15:10 |

| jpedroza | keldrona: I am not sure it is installed by default, check in adept to make sure it is installed. It should be in /usr/bin/kppp | 15:35 |
| jpedroza | keldrona: I think you can set up ppp connections as well using knetworkmanager | 15:36 |
| |Krooks| | I installed KDE-4.2 as described by kubuntu's official guide. But during installation there was one error plasma related. Now I'm in KDE-4.2, Its a little sluggish and plasma is using a lot of CPU. What do I do ? | 15:39 |
| Wunderbar | can't get smplayer audio to work- any idea why not? everything else works fine | 15:39 |
| |Krooks| | oh actually, there was two errors, another was kcontrol related, something about conflict with some files | 15:39 |
| shadeslayer | |Krooks|: how about checking if you dont have conflcting packages | 15:42 |
| shadeslayer | like the ones mentioned on the page | 15:42 |

| shadeslayer | !kde | |Krooks| | 15:42 |
| ubottu | |Krooks|: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 15:42 |

| |Krooks| | shadeslayer: I'm already on Kubuntu and I upgraded to the latest version, then I upgraded to KDE-4.2 | 15:44 |
| shadeslayer | one sec | 15:44 |
| |Krooks| | Is there another add/remove tool besides adept. | 15:44 |
| shadeslayer | you can add synaptic | 15:45 |
| |Krooks| | I can't find plasma related packages using adept | 15:45 |
| shadeslayer | Remove the koffice-data-kde4 package if you have it installed. The current koffice2 packages in the kubuntu-members-kde4 PPA are incompatible with the KDE 4.2 packages since they try to install icons to the same locations. | 15:45 |
| |Krooks| | synaptics is better, yes ? | 15:45 |
| shadeslayer | that package | 15:45 |
| shadeslayer | Adept is broken | 15:45 |
| shadeslayer | so yes synaptic is better | 15:46 |
| |Krooks| | shadeslayer: I dont have koffice-data-kde4 installed | 15:46 |
| shadeslayer | |Krooks|: which processor | 15:46 |
| |Krooks| | AMD Barton | 15:46 |
| shadeslayer | Processing power too | 15:47 |

| shadeslayer | ok i have a processor of similar power | 15:48 |
| shadeslayer | intel though | 15:48 |

| |Krooks| | Hmm how do I check which driver X is using currently | 15:49 |
| shadeslayer | restricted ones from nVidia?? | 15:49 |
| shadeslayer | K>application>X servers | 15:50 |
| |Krooks| | I do not think its using nvidia's as I just installed it. | 15:50 |
| shadeslayer | ah then you have to install the restricted packages | 15:50 |
| shadeslayer | K>apps>system>drivers | 15:51 |
| |Krooks| | I'm not using nvidia's version 173 yet but I have installed it | 15:51 |
| shadeslayer | !nVidia | 15:51 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:51 |
| shadeslayer | then use them :P | 15:51 |
| |Krooks| | its better, yes ? | 15:52 |
| shadeslayer | obviously yes | 15:52 |
| |Krooks| | shadeslayer: synaptic version 0.62 is correct ? | 15:53 |
| e-jat | can someone help me with this -> http://pastebin.com/m77e806a7 | 15:53 |

| keldrona | yeah guys... is it possible to configure my internet key Huawei E169 with kubuntu 8.10? | 15:59 |
| |Krooks| | shadeslayer: I notice synaptic is installing a lot of gnone stuffs. So its a gtk-based program. I'm not quite a fan on gnome | 15:59 |
| |Krooks| | or gtk | 15:59 |
| shadeslayer | me neither,but thats the only other alternative | 15:59 |

| bled | hehe | 16:00 |
| jpedroza | keldrona: What is the output of dmesg when you insert the key? | 16:00 |
| shadeslayer | sudo apt-get install <program name> | 16:00 |
| jpedroza | keldrona: Does it show up? If so, you will need a driver. Not sure if there is a native one, so you might need to use ndiswrapper and use the Windows driver. | 16:01 |
| shadeslayer | |Krooks|: i have to go so if the problem is solved......... | 16:01 |
| e-jat | jpedroza: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163307 | 16:01 |
| silleme | raphink: mmmm...k.thx. does adding a swp file on a seperate physical drive from OS greatly benefit kubuntu performance as it does inwindoze? | 16:01 |
| e-jat | jpedroza: or is there any new .deb package build from the svn ? | 16:02 |
| shadeslayer | ok im going byeeee | 16:02 |
| raphink | silleme: not as much as upgrading your RAM if what you need is more working mem | 16:02 |
| keldrona | jpedroza. I have got a driver with me and the istruction to use it with fedora, but I can't connect | 16:02 |
| raphink | silleme: swap allows to use more memory when you lack RAM, but it's obviously slower than RAM | 16:02 |
| gohmifune | anyone having any problems with bash completion? | 16:02 |
| jpedroza | e-jat: I see. I hate to say it, but I am not sure what the error is. Have you considered using Pidgin? I use it with my Yahoo account and it works flawlessly. Might be a good work around until the bug is fixed and a new package is out. | 16:03 |
| |Krooks| | bye' | 16:03 |
| raphink | gohmifune: no | 16:03 |
| raphink | gohmifune: what's your issue? | 16:03 |
| jpedroza | keldrona: I use a Verizon broadband card, and I had to set up the connection in knetworkmanager; username and password, etc. Not sure how that card compares to your card. | 16:03 |
| jpedroza | keldrona: Mine shows up as USBtty1 or something like that | 16:04 |

| raphink | tyler_d: they shouldn't... are other settings getting reset, too? | 16:05 |

| silleme | raphink: thx again... so alls i need to do is create new partition, mount it by adding it to stab file...and system will recognize and use this new swp partiton? dont have to modify settings in system?? | 16:32 |
| fosco__ | silleme, for swap you only have to change fstab file | 16:33 |
| === roger_ is now known as Nemesis02 | ||
| raphink | julian__: good thing | 16:35 |
| raphink | silleme: once in fstab, you'll have to mount it though. Just do a "swapoff -a && swapon -a" | 16:36 |
| raphink | as root, that is | 16:36 |

| AndySpain | hi! i isntalled ekiga with adept. But it does not show up in Kmenu->Internet | 16:38 |
| AndySpain | and 'ekiga' in terminal doesn#t do it either | 16:38 |
| shb | AndySpain: Then I would almost say it didn't install. | 16:39 |
| SlimeyPete | AndySpain: try "dpkg -L ekiga | grep bin" to find out where the program binary is | 16:39 |
| SlimeyPete | where "ekiga" is the name of the package | 16:39 |
| AndySpain | SlimPete, shb adept says it's installed successfully. dpkg -L ekiga | grep bin gives nothing | 16:41 |
| === regis is now known as Bourriks | ||
| AndySpain | dpkg -L ekiga --> package ekiga contains no files | 16:42 |
| AndySpain | so maybe the packages is broken? | 16:42 |
| AndySpain | i tried several times. no error message in adept | 16:42 |
| === dafim is now known as DaFim | ||
| AndySpain | if i re-run adept it marks ekiga as installed | 16:43 |
| SlimeyPete | AndySpain: Odd. A "dpkg -L ekiga" on my Ubuntu system shows lots of files. | 16:43 |

| |Krooks| | I'm on Intrepid. Its very very good. I wonder what more can they do to improve Kubuntu. Its almost perfect. :) | 16:49 |
| draik_ | I have finally resolved my issue when trying to fix GRUB. I needed to place the add-on card prior to IDE. Now, when I get into Kubuntu, I am able to do simple things, but if I run an app, it freezes my system. | 16:49 |
| draik_ | Also, I just realized that I cannot run Windows XP from the other hard drive. The GRUB menu is correct, but it doesn't boot. It just sits there. | 16:50 |
| |Krooks| | When was Intrepid released ? | 16:51 |
| draik_ | |Krooks|: October 30 or 31, IIRC | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | whats up | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | got a problem installing ubuntu | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | i get to the part where i select the keyboard layout and hit continue | 16:52 |
| |Krooks| | is Kubuntu developers volunteers or paid by Canonical ? Or mixed ? | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | it scaned the devices, detects filesystems and then just stops | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | i cant get passed the install 3/6 setup window | 16:53 |
| i3ooi3oo_ | I have recently installed 8.10... I can not manually configure my network connection. I have created a connection but can not make it use it. | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | is there a text installer on the live cd? | 16:53 |
| xmhscratch | ? | 16:54 |

| AndySpain | if i try to use my microphone it only records noise | 17:11 |
| AndySpain | what can i do? | 17:11 |

| ubuntu_ | buy a new mic lol | 17:12 |
| i3ooi3oo | what do I have to do tp make knetworkmanager work correctly | 17:12 |
| ubuntu_ | if it only records noise, you either have it plugged into the wrong port or the system doesn't think the mic is a mic | 17:12 |
| ubuntu_ | B00b00, thats kind of a vague question | 17:13 |
| AndySpain | ubuntu_ it's integrated, so not wrongly plugged | 17:13 |

| ubuntu_ | then you need to reconfigure it | 17:13 |
| AndySpain | how? | 17:13 |
| AndySpain | am new to linux | 17:13 |
| ubuntu_ | open a console and type 'lspci' | 17:13 |
| ubuntu_ | see if your sound card is listen | 17:14 |
| ubuntu_ | listed | 17:14 |
| i3ooi3oo | Well I would assume when you configure a connection then select it it should change the IP settings | 17:14 |
| AndySpain | yes it is | 17:14 |
| ubuntu_ | it should | 17:14 |
| fosco__ | AndySpain, go to mixer settings and check mic volume | 17:14 |

| bumbi | I find it looks quite flashy, dont like the window manager theme though. | 17:32 |

| bumbi | sorry I have no idea, but check that you are using the correct input source in alsa | 17:35 |
| AndySpain | bumbi input sources are only mic and front mic. mic brinmgs nothing. front mic noise. and dunno what all theses capture and digital things are | 17:35 |
| kuaera_ | Are there any extensions or plugins for klauncher? | 17:36 |

| bumbi | gnome i ok, kde ok. Im in the middle right now. | 17:39 |
| Suiko | like melcolm in the middle? | 17:39 |
| bumbi | More like I cant deside which one to stay with. | 17:39 |
| AndySpain | bumbi so if i wanna record from my microphone thats integrated into my notebook, then i raise all four capture bars to 100%? and put digital to 0 as being a possible source of the noise? | 17:40 |
| Suiko | just stay by kde | 17:41 |
| Suiko | its more developed | 17:41 |
| jtisme | my mouse pointer is a vertical bar cannot change it any ideas | 17:41 |
| bumbi | Dont go 100%, check that there are no loopback feedback from the mic. | 17:41 |
| bumbi | try different mouse theme? | 17:42 |
| AndySpain | bumbi: where do i see if i have loopback feedback? | 17:42 |
| AndySpain | am now on 67% each | 17:42 |
| bumbi | the loopback appears when you have your mic to close to the speakers. | 17:43 |
| kuaera_ | Scratch that, I meant KRunner...which is pretty awesome. | 17:46 |
| AndySpain | bumbi: doe theses setting look correct for enabling my fornt micro (not muted and not producing noise): http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfoto6om9.png ? | 17:46 |

| AndySpain | Hi! How can I add a program to the K-menu? | 21:03 |
| heinkel_vista | AndySpain: you right click on the menu, I think | 21:10 |
| heinkel_vista | ...I am in windows right now so maybe I bettercheck | 21:10 |
| AndySpain | heinkel_vista: thank you. | 21:10 |
| AndySpain | it's that i installed ekiga and it runs fine but only from konsole | 21:10 |
| AndySpain | and if i close console ekiga closes, so i must add it | 21:11 |
| heinkel_vista | <-- is clueless about ekiga but I think the K menu editing is as I remember it ;-) | 21:12 |
| AndySpain | heinkel, ok I found it and added it. let's see if it runs the program now | 21:12 |
| AndySpain | what do you use for VOIP? | 21:12 |
| AndySpain | ekiga's the only one i know | 21:13 |
| AndySpain | heinkel_vista: yea, ot worked, thank you | 21:13 |
| AndySpain | now I must just find an icon for it, as it's nude | 21:13 |
| JackWinter | AndySpain: there is also skype, and 2 more linux solutions that i can't remember the name of. | 21:15 |
| JackWinter | AndySpain: do you know medibuntu.org ? is a good thing to add.. | 21:16 |
| AndySpain | i don't like skype | 21:16 |
| AndySpain | due to closed-source and closed-protocol nature | 21:16 |
| AndySpain | JackWinter ok, i will check out that website | 21:16 |

| noaXess | hi and good evening all | 21:39 |
| AndySpain | noren: how did you update to kde 4.2? I'm still on kde 4.1.4 the way it came with the kubuntu installation | 21:39 |
| ibuffy | genii: http://dpaste.com/121863/ | 21:40 |
| noaXess | sometimes my keyboard stops working.. i need to restart kdm to bring it back.. have searched and found some solutiongs to backup/rename .kde folder and relogin with same user and it should be solved.. but then all settings are gone and i need to reconfig them all. | 21:40 |
| noaXess | any other idea hint why keaboarw will stop working? | 21:40 |
| noaXess | AndySpain: read this for upgrading to 4.2 | 21:41 |

| noren | are bittorrent and ktorrent same software with different interface or differrent software altogather | 21:46 |
| noren | i used bittorent with gnome i ffelt it had less options but a faster than ktorrent | 21:46 |
| genii | ibuffy: Yes, problemmatic. You may have to temporarily switch themes(if usinf oxygen), deinstall kde-icons-oxygen | 21:47 |
| genii | ibuffy: Then install the current package, then try reinstall of kde-icons-oxygen | 21:47 |
| AndySpain | one beginner's question: are ALL of my settings in my home directory (themes, screensaver, wallpaper, k-menu config, panel configs, workspace config, browser bookmarks, ...) so that only backing up /home is enought to not only save personal files like photos and documentes, but also all settings??? | 21:47 |
| Tm_T | AndySpain: yes | 21:47 |
| olafw | noren afaik they are different implementations of the same protocol | 21:48 |
| AndySpain | Tm_T that's great. :-) Thank you | 21:48 |
| olafw | with bittorrent in some ways at least being the reference implementation | 21:48 |
| darksmoke | why guys | 21:49 |
| darksmoke | when i open a movie player full screen the panel is still visible but when i set the setting to let windows go on top of it , it gets some border around the panel which is unremovable | 21:50 |
| noaXess | AndySpain: all settings are in your /home/user/.folers.. also in hidden folders.. in dolphin press "ALT+." to show/hide hidden files/folders.. | 21:53 |
| noaXess | good night to all.. | 21:54 |
| AndySpain | noaXess | 21:55 |
| AndySpain | thank you | 21:55 |
| AndySpain | good night | 21:55 |
| ibuffy | genii: so after switching themes... http://dpaste.com/121877/ | 21:55 |
| ibuffy | anyone else care to help genii in helping me solve this problem? | 21:55 |
| AndySpain | there's a little bug | 21:57 |
| JackWinter | noren: there is also vuze | 21:58 |
| AndySpain | when you post a link here in irc and I hit it, it opens Mozilla Thunderbird | 21:58 |
| Tm_T | JackWinter: no cursing please | 21:58 |
| Tm_T | (; | 21:58 |
| AndySpain | I klicked k-menu->computer->system settings -> default applications and there i changed the standard for webbrowser from the first option to second option | 21:59 |
| noren | vuze ?? | 21:59 |
| AndySpain | writing there 'konqueror' or browsing for konqueror which then writes 'konqborwser' | 21:59 |
| JackWinter | AndySpain: i "think" all the settings are saved in .kde, you can even set an enviroment variable KDEHOME to change it. | 22:00 |
| genii | ibuffy: What version installed reports: spt-cache policy kde-icons-oxygen | 22:00 |
| AndySpain | then I try to open a link here again and in panel konqueror shows up, but can't be opened and disappeares again | 22:00 |

| JuJuBee | I need advice on video card. I am gearing up to purchase a new laptop. Many come with GeForce 9600M GT etc... and some come wtih Intel GMA 4500 HD video cards. Which has better support in Kubuntu? | 22:01 |
| JackWinter | AndySpain: but that will only be bookmarks, email, etc. to back up your data you need to backup the locations where you stored it... | 22:01 |
| AndySpain | JackWinter all my data is in /home :-) | 22:01 |
| maco | JuJuBee: Intels work out of the box. Nvidias require installing extra drivers for 3D acceleration (which may break suspend and hibernate). Intel's drivers are open source, so we can fix them. Nvidia's 3D drivers are binary-only, so we can't fix them. | 22:02 |
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, any nvidia will perform better than any intel video card ... nvidia support is excellent in ubuntu | 22:02 |
| maco | that said, Nvidia will probably have better performance | 22:02 |
| ibuffy | genii: what? | 22:02 |
| JackWinter | Tm_T: i use ktorrent, but it does indeed seem to have some probs, atleast in my normal 8.04 env... | 22:02 |
| ibuffy | genii: ah, nm | 22:03 |
| JuJuBee | Thanks for the info. I always thought nVidia was supposed to bet better with linux. I will opt for the intel ones then | 22:03 |
| ibuffy | will paste. | 22:03 |
| JuJuBee | I am tired of fussing with them (have ATI now... :( ) | 22:03 |
| ibuffy | genii: http://dpaste.com/121882/ | 22:03 |
| JackWinter | noren: azureus (or however it's called) | 22:04 |
| === lilleyst is now known as stelil | ||
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, nVidia support on linux is miles ahead than ATI | 22:04 |
| AndySpain | well, am leaving | 22:04 |
| AndySpain | have a good nite | 22:05 |
| JuJuBee | bigjocker I am aware of that. Bought the laptop before started using linux. | 22:05 |
| AndySpain | and thanks for your help | 22:05 |
| genii | ibuffy: Also says koffice-data-kde4 is same version? | 22:05 |
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, in ubuntu you'll just have to install a new driver ... that's all ... if you intend to use 3D software (games, rendering tools, 3d modelling, even compiz) any nVidia will perform orders of magnitude better than any intel ... if you are just a desktop user, maybe the simplicity of intel is best suited for you | 22:05 |
| Infecto | hmm | 22:06 |
| Infecto | i resolve one problem but stick to another | 22:06 |
| JuJuBee | bigjocker : I would like to use it for gaming if I can. SO which nVidia is best? The HCL is not very helpfulll | 22:06 |
| Infecto | i cant run openvpn from konsole | 22:06 |
| JackWinter | it's a setting that tells kde where to look for it's variables. you could ctrl-alt-f1 to change to a separate virtual terminal, "set KDEHOME=$home/.kde2", and then "startx -- :3" to start a "diffferent" kde which you would find under c-a-f9 | 22:06 |
| Infecto | network manager wants to do it by it self | 22:07 |
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, i use this benchmark list whenever i'm looking for a new laptop: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html | 22:07 |
| genii | Time to migrate home from work, I'll be /away til then (about 30 minutes or so) | 22:07 |
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, higher model does not always mean better performance | 22:08 |

| Tm_T | bled: use Kopete | 22:17 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| bigjocker | there are series and generations ... the 9200, 8200, 7200 are almost the same card, with modified pipelines | 22:18 |
| bigjocker | so usually a x900 or x950 will perform better | 22:18 |
| bigjocker | unless x is 3 or 4 generations old | 22:18 |
| bled | yes im using kopete for msn and yahoo gut there no skype ;(( | 22:18 |
| bled | or google talk | 22:19 |
| Tm_T | bled: there is, xmpp | 22:19 |
| bigjocker | JuJuBee, so for gaming look for a 7950, 8700, 8800, 8900 or 9900 | 22:19 |
| bigjocker | although the 7950 does not support DX10 | 22:19 |

| noren | has anyone here usssed amarok2 sucessfuly here | 23:06 |
| dutler | yotux: intheory (i have not experianced this myslef) a keylogger with in the java program will be protable accrossed systems. but i dont see it have access to the ystesm in linux | 23:06 |
| dutler | you may want to check out appamor | 23:06 |
| dutler | is like bsd's jails... you can isolate indevitual programs from the rest of the system | 23:07 |
| yotux | I have heard of it before when I was using fedora | 23:07 |
| dutler | notren: its beautifull for me... thats why i was trying to encorgage you not to give up on it, unless you have already done everything possible | 23:08 |

| dutler | bdizzle sorry, that site did not have the info i thought. but the kde search tech is call strigi. i think you have to do a bit of work to get it upand running | 23:14 |

| drostie | genii: ah, k. In that case, I'm not sure why s/he wants to see it. I'm rather sure that the right ramfs is loading and everything. | 23:36 |
| genii | drostie: Can you re-cap your issue for me, I can't find the original in backscroll just now | 23:38 |
| drostie | okay. Cryptsetup w/ LUKS on /dev/sda5. Temporary kubuntu install on /dev/sda2. Formatted the /dev/mapper entry for sda5 as ext4, copied all of my data to the mapper. | 23:39 |
| bdizzle | gah I installed desktop-applet-stringi, but now its not visible as a program anywhere | 23:41 |
| bdizzle | wtf is going on? | 23:41 |
| genii | drostie: Ah, OK. Unfortunately I don't know anything about LUKS setup :( | 23:41 |
| drostie | And /dev/sdb1 is a usb key that holds its own native install of kubuntu, which I just used to get GRUB to install right (it didn't like grub-install for some reason.) | 23:41 |
| drostie | Well, LUKS isn't the issue. LUKS is setup and running. The issue seems to be in initramfs-tools: I can't get it to point at /dev/mapper/umbra for my root partition, instead of pointing at /dev/sda2. | 23:43 |
| bdizzle | ugh, it has deskbar-applet-stringi installed, but it doesn't have any of the stringi applications installed | 23:43 |
| bdizzle | and I can't find them through package search either | 23:44 |
| drostie | fstab points at the right partition, there is a ROOT directive in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf pointing at the right partition, and I even chroot into that partition to run update-initramfs -u. Still no dice. | 23:45 |
| drostie | where on earth does the initrd actually look up a partition and say, "hey, I want to make this my root partition." and how do I change it? | 23:45 |
| === root is now known as Guest40669 | ||
| drostie | nevermind, I want to try something. see ya'll later, when I can better help with random peoples' queries. ^_^ | 23:48 |
| genii | drostie: The initrd usually only would contain some driver to load which makes a partition or storage system understandable (like when you build it with raid support). I'm not sure the initrd looks up any partitions or such. That should be the purpose of specifying what root to mount in menu.lst or in fstab | 23:50 |
