lupine(it's a non-raid to a raid-1 setup)00:30
DaSkreechThe idea was dropped after three months00:30

JontheEchidnait has nothing to do with KDE4, but rather that xorg.conf is dead in the New Xorg02:30

Peeeeeetyeah KDE 4.202:31
Slartibartfasti still really have         Driver  "nvidia"02:31
PeeeeeetI'll try changing nvidia to nv02:31
yowshiEtFb: cool02:31
EtFbJontheEchidna: Bugger.  Really?  I was hoping it was yet another stupid KDE 4 decision that would be reversed.  And my experience is that it won't use the xorg.conf unless you put in the right stuff, and there's no way any more to know what that is, because the comments and helpful defaults are gone.02:31
JontheEchidnanah, xorg changes all the way02:31

gustavosorry  thanks  =)02:33
yowshiEtFb: nope02:33
DaSkreechEtFb: KDE can't really decide not to us xorg.conf without not using X which is kinda dumb02:33
yowshiEtFb: though i like that drop down menu for the desktop folder and i am keeping it.02:34
EtFbyowshi: Well, then!  I've solved a problem you didn't have!  Aren't you grateful?  Now you don't have that problem twice!02:34
DaSkreechthe xorg.conf changes are fully Xorg's choice. They are trying to get to a point where if you delete xorg.conf X will still work and all changes will be in the GUI02:34
Huntzdaskreech: so how should i do this02:34
EtFbDaSkreech: And in the process are Gnome-ifying X, ie making it so simple that only an idiot would/could use it.  Very un-KDE.02:35
yowshiEtFb: mno my problem was i wanted my folder and stuff i had on my desktop back on my desktop. when you said the little cashew thing i minimized all windows and atrted looking around and changed desktop to folder view02:35
yowshiEtFb: now i need a way to minimize all windows02:35
DaSkreechHuntz: run the sudo do-release-upgrade. lets take it from the top02:35

DaSkreechHuntz: pastebin your sources.list first02:35
Peeeeeethm, changing it to nv didn't do it02:35
PeeeeeetI'm thinkin the suggestion to go 8.04 is a good one02:35

EtFbPeeeeeet: Try vesa.02:35
Huntzwhere am I gonna pull a source list from02:35
DaSkreechEtFb: Xorg is neither Gnome nor KDE. Both have very little say in Xorg though they both have influence02:36
EtFbPeeeeeet: I gave Intrepid a good couple of weeks, and when kubuntu-experimental got 4.2 I really thought it might work.  But too much is broken.  I'm sticking with Hardy for a while.02:36
PeeeeeetEtFb: tried that before I came here (that's what's in xorg.conf.failsafe... not so failsafeish after all)02:36
DaSkreechyowshi: click the cashew at the end of the panel and then just drag them around02:36
DaSkreechHuntz: did you remake it in adept ?02:37
yowshiDaSkreech: thanks02:37
EtFbDaSkreech: Not saying they're the same, just that they're tending toward the Gnome attitude (make it simple) instead of the KDE one (make everything configurable).02:37
Huntzno when you said start over I thoughwe were gonna do somethin different02:37
EtFbDaSkreech: The trouble with that is that sometimes I want to be able to make changes that disagree with what their software thinks is best.02:38
SlartibartfastPeeeeeet, just apt-get remove the nvidia stuff won't help?02:38
DaSkreechEtFb: the idea is it never disrespects the xorg.conf02:38
DaSkreechif you put one in with all sorts of stuff it will follow it02:38

DaSkreechyowshi: for information sakes all daemons are in /etc/init.d03:09
bishopzlolol03:09
yowshiDaSkreech: yeah i am probably ont gonna be able to remember that either03:09
DaSkreechIf you look in there all stuff running in the background and at startup are in there03:09

DaSkreechyowshi: That's why I'm explaining03:10

russlarhe proved himself not to exist03:11
DaSkreechyowshi: All scripts in there take either start stop or restart as an option03:12
bishopzmy eyes, feel heavvvvy03:12
yowshii see so there is an init file and it calls up the init directory but so keep confusion down they added a .d to the directory03:12
DaSkreechso /etc/init.d/mysql start will start the mysql database03:12

StR|Sangrealhello... my boot is slowed down due to an non-critical error and i have no clue what is wrong... could pls someone attend this?07:34
WargasmStR|Sangreal: when does the error come up?07:34
StR|Sangrealwell i use kubuntu, cca at the 30% of the bootscreen it switches into tty prompt and stays there until launching of kdm07:35
StR|Sangrealand the error is right after some kernel check or so if i properly understand. yet the fact why does the bootscreen not continue is odd, but i think there is some failure that could be fixed07:36
Wargasmhmm, ive never come across that. did you install something on the third party/unsupported repos?07:37
StR|Sangrealyes i did07:38
Wargasmi haven't had very good luck when doing that...probably depends on what it is though07:38
SlartibartfastStR|Sangreal: maybe "/var/log/messages" gives some more info .....07:38
StR|Sangrealbut i think that this error ocurred after a system crash not an installation of restricted sw07:39
Slartibartfast"some kernel check or so" is not really helpful in determine what might be wrong07:40
Wargasmsee what the log says, might give you enough info to  see what caused it07:40
kingtiger_anyone know anything about syncing the a windows mobile pda?07:40

SlartibartfastStR|Sangreal: maybe remove "quiet splash" from the kernel line in your /boot/grub/menu.lst will give you also more info during the boot process what might go wrong07:43
StR|SangrealSlartibartfast ok i will pastebin the log... i said i dont know how to treat such problems, i use linux just for usual work07:46

kalum__Hello, I am running  kubuntu latest version with kde 4.1.4. I am very satisfied with it overall, except one problem, when i try to play divx movies with mplayer or any movie player for that matter, the movie misses a few FPS every 10 seconds or so, ie there is a sudden pause in playback. could anyone tell me why this is the case?11:19
PhilippePkalum__: it could be a lot of things11:23
kalum__hmm..no response to my question about skiiping full screen movie playback under kubuntu :-(11:23
kalum__Aha.....i spoke too soon :-)11:23
PhilippePkalum__: does it only happens full screen ??11:24
kalum__PhilippeP: Well my computer is upto the task speed wise, 1gb of ram, and 1.8 ghz dual core CPU which should be suffiecient, the chipset is a intel  945GM/GMS11:24
kalum__It only happens in full screen, windowed it runs perfectly11:25
sortealAre you running any kind of desktop effects11:25

JuJuBeeCan someone help me with a resolution problem? I have a laptop with 9600M and dual head setup.  Each screen/display has its own desktop with its own launcher/K-menu (using kubuntu).  My external monitor is the problem.  I want to set the resolution to 1280x1024.  Using xrandr on that screen shows maximum of 1024x768 resolition.  I know this monitor does better than that, in fact it was set way higher than that by accident once.  Here are m13:14
JuJuBeeastebin.com/m5e50de9513:14
shadeslayerActionParsnip: nice value ?? lol13:14
ActionParsniplower makes the app get more cpu time, higher it gets less13:14
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: read and learn13:14
shadeslayer:)13:14
shadeslayerokie13:14
thedarkI see13:15
ActionParsnipthedark: the lowest nice value you can get is -20 which will put 100% of system into the one process and will cause a tonne of problems13:15
thedarkokay I high prioritied it13:15
ActionParsnipthedark: the highest is 20 where its practically ignored by the cpu13:15
thedarkI don't see a number scale13:15
ActionParsnipthedark: by giving a nice value of say -5, the cpu will give it  little more power and hopefully will iron it out13:15
thedarkI see a cpu scheduler and an i/o scheduler13:16
ActionParsnipthedark: its a command line command13:16
shadeslayerhe did ctrl+esc13:16
thedarkah... there is renice option in the system monitor13:16
shadeslayerActionParsnip: any idea how to force mount a drive13:16
shadeslayer:D13:17
ActionParsnipthedark: renice -n -5 <pidofvlcplayer>13:17
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: what filesystem, what dev and what mountpoint13:17
ActionParsnipthedark: obv you'll have to work out the pid first13:17
shadeslayerNTFS,/dev/sda3,mount point i do not know13:17
thedarkokay13:18
thedarkhow do I do that?13:18
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: ok i'll make one up13:18
ActionParsnipthedark: pidof vlc13:18
thedarkwow so simple, amazed :)13:19
shadeslayerthanks13:19
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: sudo mkdir /media/sda3; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda313:19
ActionParsnipthedark: it is in linux13:19
shadeslayerboth commands?13:20
ActionParsnipthedark: once you run that command i gave with renice it will give vlc more cpu time13:20
darkenergyshould you be creating folders in /media?13:20
thedarkit tells me that isn't the proper usage13:20
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: its the command you need, copy it in one and paste to terminal13:20
ActionParsnipthedark: what is the pid?13:20
thedarkrenice priority [-p|--pid] pid [... pid]13:20
shadeslayerthe command was13:21
shadeslayermount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 -o force13:21
shadeslayer:P13:21
thedarkbut I still don't get what to type13:21
ActionParsnipthedark: renice -n 5 -p <pidyoufound>13:21
ActionParsnipoops13:21
ActionParsnipmake that 5 a -513:21
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: sure, you dint say you wanted ntfs3g, you may need some extra options13:22
ActionParsnip mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 -o force,uid=100013:22
thedarkstill gave me the usage list13:22
shadeslayer?13:22
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: makes it user writable13:22
thedarkand I don't see a difference in the cpu % in the system monitor13:23
ActionParsnipthedark: what command are you using exactly?13:23
shadeslayerdo i run the command again??13:23
shadeslayerok13:23
shadeslayeri get it13:23
ActionParsnipthedark: it wont increase in there, its not labouring the system, but the process will be attended more often13:24
ActionParsnipthedark: can you give me the command you used please13:24
shadeslayeri need to unmount the device first13:25
shadeslayerwhats the command for that13:25
ActionParsnipshadeslayer: sudo umount /media/sda313:25
ActionParsnipthedark: try: renice -5 -p <the pid>13:25
shadeslayerthanks13:25

macoa few days ago, plasma wouldn't start. ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc seems to hold the problem (moving mine out of the way fixed it). i'm trying to figure out what setting broke plasma (debugging), so i've been bzr'ing the file and copying over little bits of the config at a time to see to get a diff where it breaks. can anyone help me figure out which part of this diff is the cause?15:00

SlimeyPetebrad_: it's for AMD64, which is the common name for both AMD64 and EMT64 (intel)16:25
astrommeYes, it's just named amd because amd invented the technology16:25
brad_i guess that works.16:25
SlimeyPeteit's just that AMD64 got their 64-bit extensions out into the world before Intel did, so everyone adopted the AMD64 name for all 64-bit x86 processors16:25
shadeslayersecond that16:25

girevikmotodo i need NFS to export the samba share?18:17
Wargasmi'm not sure...but you might.18:17
Wargasmi'm no expert on samba, but i've used it with windows before18:17
solifugusmefisto__: no.. the caps lock doesn't fix it.. I just noticed that hititng the ! key fixes it, until a minute or so later when it comes on again.18:17
girevikmotoor rather... ive created the samba share, do i need NFS to export the directory filesystem, or is that a function of Samba18:19
Wargasmtry installing NFS if you don't mind using the space18:19
mefisto__solifugus: what kind of keyboard? see if there is a keyboard layout that matches your hardware in systemsettings > regional & language18:19
solifugusI really don't want to switch to gnome, like Linus says he did after realizing how messed up kde 4 is..  but I might have to go back to kde 3.  Linus used to praise kde and criticized gnome.18:19
solifugusmefisto__: standard u.s. english.. HP laptop..18:19

mefisto__solifugus: do you have kde 4.2 ?18:21

Wargasmlet me find the repository18:23
mefisto__solifugus: http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 (or enable backports and update/upgrade)18:23
jalsright, firefox finally crashed and gave me an error18:23
Wargasmsolifugus: also let me give you a warning18:23
Wargasmi had an issue when upgrading18:24
jalsthis is the error http://pastebin.com/m22a205a18:24
Wargasmwhen i was upgrading it must not have updated everything. i logged in and nothing showed up on the desktop. so i restarted x and changed the session to "console" in console i did "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade" everything was fine after the upgrade ran in console.18:25
jalsis there anything useful there?18:25
solifugusWargasm: I've never had an version upgrade without major problems on any distro since I started with Slackware 97, back in 1998.18:25
solifugusWargasm: I just backup my data and install fresh.18:25
Wargasmthen you haven't been using ubuntu gnome18:25

macotabla: that's jaunty as of today. if that works, you can just install a newer version of alsa while you wait for jaunty to release in april. though i dont actually remember how to compile new alsa modules, so you'll probably have to ask someone else for help with that21:04

gothpawyes, you do21:53
macoSilentstri: yeah....21:53
macoSilentstri: where were you intending to install from...?21:53
drostiegothpaw: I am seeing very little headway to be made on your problem, other than to create two different partitions on the drive and start resizing the boundary between them. But since Linux is not recognizing your file systems, I think the file transfers would have to be done in Windows (assuming that Windows gets right the 200+ allocation tables scenario).21:53
drostieSo the resizes would also have to be done in Windows, and all of the software I know that does FAT resizes under windows costs money.21:54
gothpawdrostie: well, that's gonna be extremely hard to do21:54

drostiegothpaw: neither do I, but they're remarkably plentiful in my part of the world. It's not too hard to find a friend with a laptop. But I don't know the software that you'd need.21:56

macoSilentstri: do you have ndiswrapper and its dependencies? if so, put them all in one directory, cd there and do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"21:57
macoSilentstri: apt-get is the net-based dependency-resolving installer21:58
drostiegothpaw: hm. Okay, so Linux *can* read this filesystem, it's just not mounting for some reason or another? That's very different from what I thought the problem was ^_^;;21:58
Silentstriim trying to install on linux21:58
gothpawdrostie: well in the past yes.... but right now it can't as it can't seem to mount it21:58

drostiegothpaw: does the mount call give you anything useful when you [sudo mount -v /dev/sdd1] ...?22:06
gothpawdrostie: I'd have to say I don't know as I am unsure of the -v option and what it does22:08
drostiegothpaw: [man mount] to find out that the -v option stands for "verbose" ^_^22:08
drostieSometimes in various applications more v's are more verbose. for example, [aptitude moo], [aptitude -v moo], [aptitude -vv moo]22:09
SilentstriIn the comman sudo dpkg -i *.deb what do I replace * with?22:10
gothpawdrostie: ok, the sudo mount -v /dev/sdd1 gives me the very same error as when I try to mount the drive normally22:10
drostieSilentstri: bash (the command line shell) automatically fills in [*.deb] with all of the files in the current directory that end with ".deb".22:11
drostieSilentstri: see, for example, [ls -l *.deb] to list permissions for only those files that end with the .deb extension.22:12

mefisto__doesn't fat32 have a partition size limit? how is it 250GB ?22:17
drostiegothpaw: dude, that drive has got to be in fstab or mtab. Check those files again. (If you don't specify options, it should say opts: "(null)" or so. At least, in the current version of mount in the repos.)22:17
drostiemefisto__: That's... complicated. Windows won't format natively about 32 GB, but the actual limit is in the terabytes. It doesn't matter, though, because this particular drive used to Just Work (tm).22:18
drosties/about/above about/22:19
gothpawit is in fstab as follows -->  /dev/sdd1       /home/gothpaw/Extras2   vfat    defaults,user   0       022:19
mefisto__drostie: it worked with linux vfat?22:19
drostiemefisto__: yep.22:19
drostiegothpaw: delete that line. Maybe a "defaults" or "user" option isn't supported by vfat? I dunno.22:20
drostieOr comment it out by prefixing it with a hash character (#).22:20
HammerI have a question regarding 8.10, specifically graphics corruption on nvidia quadro fx cards22:20
gothpawdrostie: those options are supported, I use them on other drives too that are Fat3222:21
HammerIs anybody familiar with this?22:21
mefisto__gothpaw: what about just   sudo mount /dev/sdd1   ?22:22
gothpawmefisto__: says I have to specify the filesystem when I try to mount it any other way except -t vfat22:23
drostiegothpaw: still, try mounting this drive without those options. If the drive's firmware locked the drive in read-only mode, for example, maybe it would get annoyed. I'd like to see the -v output when there's no fstab entry at all.22:24

Hammer_42bon a fresh install on a dell precision M90 with a nvidia quadro fx 3500M graphics card22:35
drostienoaXess: it sounds like something is going wrong with DNS in particular, rather than your internet connection in general. If you configure your connection to use OpenDNS, does the problem still happen?22:35

Hammer_42bonly a reboot helps22:35

StR|Sangrealhmm is this the very fresh install?22:37
drostienoaXess: what I'm asking is, can you get it working with some external DNS? if so, then we can maybe try to figure out why the internal DNS is borked for only this one machine. If not, then we can maybe isolate the problem to DNS in general.22:37
StR|Sangrealdo you have enough ram and cpu? since plasma consumes much more resources22:38

drostiegothpaw: you've officially stumped me. I wouldn't know what to do more without reading Microsoft's FAT32 spec and carefully comparing it to [sudo xxd /dev/sdd | more] until I found out what the heck's going on with the tables themselves. It sounds like maybe there was a tiny bit of corruption somewhere in one of them, though,  and it's making fsck and mount reject the drive. :-/22:50
Hammer_42bstrsangreal: neither the new xerver nor kde4 should have been included in 8.1022:50
Hammer_42bstrsangreal: ahh well....it also seems to be a pretty rare problem, since i could not find anything in any other newsgroup. but i believe my specific nvidia card is not very common22:51

drostiemefisto__: well, that just tells me that the machine thinks there's something interesting at #488397168. The only good that does for me is to maybe search the entire device in binary for that number written in little- or big-endian bytes.23:18
drostiemefisto__: but if /dev/sdd1 is really bigger than /dev/sdd, then the problem is maybe just in the MBR, which is an easy place to poke around.23:19

bishopzWhen i download a theme, i dont unzip it i just move it into home/themes right?23:42
amgarchIn9drostie: do you have powerdevil installed?23:43
DaddyLonglegsmefisto__: If I want to upgrade to 4.2, should I do it manually? Isn't it gonna ruin anything?23:43
gothpawdrostie: unfortunately I have no idea what that means, sorry23:44
amgarchIn9DaddyLonglegs: with intrepid-backports it is enough to "aptitude full-upgrade"23:44
drostieamgarchIn9: possibly.23:44
mefisto__DaddyLonglegs: probably won't ruin anything, but might not be "graceful". lots of people get errors when packages try to overwrite existing files23:44
bishopzok cool thanks for the help23:45
mefisto__DaddyLonglegs: the solution is to remove the old package, install the new one, then continue the upgrade23:45
amgarchIn9drostie: thanks! your way it does work23:46
DaddyLonglegsSeems a bit risky. I prefer to do that after my project deadline :-)23:47
mefisto__DaddyLonglegs: if you don't want to risk enabling all the backports, you can add the ppa repo for 4.2 so you just get those 4.2 packages. but probably not a bad idea to get your work done first either way23:49
DaddyLonglegsmefisto__: Awesome. Thanks for help :-)23:51

ubottufabio_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!23:56
gothpawdrostie: is there some way to fix this; at least long enough to copy the data I need, then I can format it and start fresh?23:57
mefisto__drostie: so you mean editing the length to be 1D 1C 59 70 would make it consistent and therefore mountable?23:57
fabio_ao que parece não ha muitos brasileiros aqui23:57
