How would I "deactivate" said proprietary driver from command line? === karl_ is now known as karl_s [02:27] (Incidentally, for anybody who cares, most plasmoids run perfectly nicely in the frames of a framing window manager) [02:27] DaSkreech: 4.2.00 [02:27] yowshi: ok cool [02:28] You have two options for your files [02:28] You can put a folder view on your desktop or you can make your desktop a folderview [02:29] Peeeeeet: I'd love to know that too. I fiddled with 8.10 for a while and the stupid changes to xorg.conf were a major reason I went scarpering back to the safety of 8.04, which still has KDE 3.5, the last known functioning version of KDE... [02:29] i had a desktop folder view thingy on the desktop before but i closed it i didnt know what it ws other then a folder [02:29] and now i dont know how to get it back [02:29] the desktop folder view was open when i launched kde [02:29] Peeeeeet, can't you just change nvidia in xorg.conf to nv ? [02:29] yowshi: This is KDE 4? [02:30] EtFb: yes 4.2.00 [02:30] Slartibartfast: xorg.conf is dead in KDE 4. [02:30] kde 4 doesnt use xorg.conf? [02:30] yowshi: Click on the cashew (the stupid little icon in the top left of the desktop) and fiddle with the settings there. [02:30] it has nothing to do with KDE4, but rather that xorg.conf is dead in the New Xorg [02:30] and if you still have an xorg.conf it will use it [02:31] yeah KDE 4.2 [02:31] i still really have Driver "nvidia" [02:31] I'll try changing nvidia to nv [02:31] EtFb: cool [02:31] JontheEchidna: 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] nah, xorg changes all the way [02:32] EtFb: the show desktop widget thingy doesnt actually minimize any windows :( [02:32] yowshi: Do you want that view or all the icons on your desktop as before ? [02:32] buenas no puedo ver videos online alguien me puede ayudar? [02:32] DaSkreech: yeah etfb told me how. i put all my most used apps onto my panel i dont need a widget dashboard [02:33] !es [02:33] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:33] yowshi: I was understanding your problem as follows: there used to be a black square on your desktop (top left quarter or so) that had the desktop icons in it. It's gone. You want it back. Is that right? [02:33] sorry thanks =) [02:33] EtFb: nope [02:33] EtFb: KDE can't really decide not to us xorg.conf without not using X which is kinda dumb [02:34] EtFb: though i like that drop down menu for the desktop folder and i am keeping it. [02:34] yowshi: 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] the 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 GUI [02:34] daskreech: so how should i do this [02:35] DaSkreech: 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] EtFb: 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 view [02:35] EtFb: now i need a way to minimize all windows [02:35] Huntz: run the sudo do-release-upgrade. lets take it from the top [02:35] a mouse action would nbe nice [02:35] yowshi: That works too. I'd forgotten that option. [02:35] Huntz: pastebin your sources.list first [02:35] hm, changing it to nv didn't do it [02:35] I'm thinkin the suggestion to go 8.04 is a good one [02:35] also would be ince o know how to move icons around the panel to put them in the order i want [02:35] Peeeeeet: Try vesa. [02:35] where am I gonna pull a source list from [02:36] EtFb: Xorg is neither Gnome nor KDE. Both have very little say in Xorg though they both have influence [02:36] Peeeeeet: 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] EtFb: tried that before I came here (that's what's in xorg.conf.failsafe... not so failsafeish after all) [02:36] yowshi: click the cashew at the end of the panel and then just drag them around [02:37] Huntz: did you remake it in adept ? [02:37] DaSkreech: thanks [02:37] DaSkreech: 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] no when you said start over I thoughwe were gonna do somethin different [02:38] DaSkreech: 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] Peeeeeet, just apt-get remove the nvidia stuff won't help? [02:38] EtFb: the idea is it never disrespects the xorg.conf [02:38] if you put one in with all sorts of stuff it will follow it [02:39] but if you don't even have one it should still work [02:39] im ready to drop kick ubuntu [02:39] Slartibartfast: i don't know what the nvidia stuff is, how do u get apt-get to list what stuff is instaleld? [02:39] how do i change the [panel colours [02:39] so the first thing is to make the xorg.conf as minimalist as possible [02:39] and forget about compiz and themes [02:39] See what is installed with dpkg -l *nvidia* [02:39] yowshi: Themes [02:39] DaSkreech: I guess I just need to know more about the xorg.conf syntax then. I could never get it to behave. [02:39] under appearance settings [02:39] DaSkreech: where is thta located? [02:39] Right click the desktop and appearance settings -> themes [02:40] -perks- themes [02:40] Peeeeeet, whats listed with a ii in the first column is installed [02:41] lol [02:41] bishopz: What do you want from Compiz? [02:41] so, how long should I expect it to take to rsync 160GB of data from one USB disk to another? [02:42] something nice. i dont know [02:42] yeah, i see em, nvidia-177 and such, that's the ones i installed in KDE [02:42] bishopz: Did you try kwin ? [02:42] lol. i cant seem to get it right [02:42] no [02:42] bishopz: I'm a fan of snow [02:42] It has somethign nice :) [02:42] hmmmm [02:42] where is it. [02:42] in kwin [02:42] Peeeeeet so remoce them ... with apt-get --purge remove [02:43] remove [02:43] and outside [02:43] <[TCK]> anyone have any reasons why upgrading to KDE4.2 from a fresh 8.10 would result in broken dependencies and an unusable system? [02:43] wait kwin is diff from compiz? [02:43] yes [02:43] arg [02:43] apt-get kwin [02:43] correct [02:43] ? [02:43] bloody fade out names in the window tabs [02:44] i like aya but i dont like the nam fade thing [02:44] [TCK]: some of the 4.1 packages need to be removed in order for 4.2 to work [02:44] [TCK]: try upgrading from a terminal session [02:44] 3d wrap and all on this? [02:45] Slartibartfast: That did it, thanks. [02:46] welcome [02:47] <[TCK]> that makes sense [02:47] So is the general consensus to stay with 8.04 / KDE 3.5 for the time being? [02:47] <[TCK]> do it tomorrow though, need to be awake in 4 hours === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:47] Peeeeeet: it;s up to you [02:48] <[TCK]> Peeeeeet: stability wise, yes [02:48] 4.2 is very close to where 3.5 was [02:48] <[TCK]> 4.2 is close though [02:50] question for those running already 4.2: is there any real reason to upgrade when jaunty comes out? [02:50] I don't need ext4 on a laptop [02:50] anyone know the sudo for gnome-themes [02:50] <[TCK]> russlar: of note, can't actually get into a terminal application, most of what's broken is core kde stuff such as window decorations that won't let me type in terminals or password request boxes. Probably just re-reinstall [02:51] [TCK]: crtrl+alt+F1? [02:51] question for those running already 4.2: is there any real reason to upgrade when jaunty comes out? [02:52] not really... mostly bug fixes [02:52] :-P [02:52] <[TCK]> ah yes, forgot about that, thanks russlar [02:53] anyone else here use Qt 4.5 with kde 4.2? [02:53] what's aya ? [02:53] OxDeadC0de: if I am, I wouldn't know it [02:54] DaSkreech: the default theme in opensuse [02:54] russlar: plasma --version [02:54] russlar: 4.3 [02:54] (or if using kde-nightly/trunk plasma-desktop --version) [02:54] well, duh, if you're using trunk/nightly you have to be using 4.5 (kde won't compile without it now) [02:55] nope [02:55] 4.4.3 [02:55] russlar: I'm saying a good reason to be on Jaunty os 4.3 [02:55] howcome after all updates it still says 4.1? [02:55] isn't 4.2 official [02:55] yes [02:55] how do i upgrade [02:56] 4.2 isn't in the official 8.10 repo's [02:56] see topic [02:56] ok thanks [02:56] http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 [02:56] ty [02:56] DaSkreech: kde 4.3 won't be out until june though [02:56] 4.3 will rock though.. [02:56] jaunty lands in april [02:57] OxDeadC0de, how you know :-) ? [02:57] OxDeadC0de: it'll be rock if they code-name it granite [02:57] Slartibartfast I try to follow some of the development, specifically in #plasma and plasma mailing list [02:57] anything else is just a dot release [02:58] haha russlar [02:58] OxDeadC0de, can you share with us a little about these rocking new features ? [02:58] russlar: Yes but when it comes out jaunty will get the updates [02:58] Ibex likely will not [02:58] ahh [02:58] bex def wont [02:58] note to self. do not run compiz on kde [02:58] At least it's the reason I update [02:58] mainly qt4.5, bugfix's up the wazoo, new programs, new containments, Amarok is going to have some special accoustic based dynamic playlists (analyzes songs in your playlist to find others that match accoustically) [02:59] It's kinda fun every 3 months I have something to look forward to [02:59] yowshi: what happened [02:59] DaSkreech: LOL [02:59] Major kubutu update then major KDE update then major kubuntu update [02:59] It's fun :) [02:59] mmmm ok :-) ... [02:59] if only they'd sync [02:59] bishopz: mouse locked. i could move the cursor but the buttons didnt do anything. [02:59] Not going to happen unless Gnome blinks [02:59] major KDe release, then a month later major kubu release [03:00] yowshi: wtf! [03:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/121660/ it hasnt changed much [03:00] and Gnome's thing is it doesn't blink [03:00] russlar I wish... would have saved a ton of heartache over 4.1 :P [03:00] bishopz: in actuality that happened after i tried to shut down compiz [03:00] yowshi: if you can alt+ctrl+F1 and then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [03:00] yowshi: thats an odd glitch, when i tried to run them both, my screen just went completely black [03:00] isn't kde 4.3 planned for june ?

[03:02] I was going to comment on the name, but it's not that important [03:02] and there were 5 books in it.. oddest thing ever [03:02] how improbable.

[03:04] that may not be somehting to be proud of? [03:04] Huntz: You have two backports lines [03:04] DaSkreech: know what else resarts kdm? alt + crtl + backspace :) [03:05] well , intelligence + boredom+ drugs = not always the best combo [03:05] lol [03:05] yeah and being your wife isn't a walk in the park. just saying. [03:05] ya for some reason adaept isnt changing it [03:05] yowshi: that restarts the entire X server, too [03:05] baby u love being my wife ;/ [03:05] i know it does [03:05] somehow we got tainted donuts [03:05] couldnt i just go alt + ctrl + f1 sudo killall kdm then kdm? [03:05] He's the most important man in the universe.... according to the machine that analyzes (what was it.. buntcake?) and calculates the entirety of the universe from it... at least.. that universe.. [03:06] the answer is still 42 :-P .... after those millions of years :-D [03:07] yeah, but what's the question my friend?:P [03:07] the infinite perspective machine [03:07] or was it just the perspective machine [03:07] yowshi: yes :) === ivan__ is now known as cryptonite41 [03:07] hey, someone has to give nagging house-wifes perspective somehow... [03:08] gj! [03:08] lolol [03:08] i want a cup held up by art [03:08] yowshi: yes but my way is more humane :) [03:08] good luck with that [03:09] DaSkreech: meh humane is for humans i kill my machine any way i please :) [03:09] DaSkreech: and i can actually remember the commands i use [03:09] Huntz: ok that one doesn't resolve on a sudo apt-get update anyway right ?

[03:10] When you initalize your computer it runs the scripts in init.d [03:10] initi... [03:10] nvm [03:10] the initiliaztion directory [03:10] init [03:10] yowshi: init is the startup script from unix === primary is now known as BattleStarJesus [03:10] :-p [03:11] then why is there a .d in it? [03:11] To show it's a directory [03:11] daemon [03:11] like .jpg shows it's a jpeg [03:11] thank god for the guide or I'd never laugh.. Well, maybe not "God", but you know what I mean.... [03:11] it's different from the init file [03:11] he proved himself not to exist [03:12] yowshi: All scripts in there take either start stop or restart as an option [03:12] my eyes, feel heavvvvy [03:12] i 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 directory [03:12] so /etc/init.d/mysql start will start the mysql database [03:12] Right [03:12] daskreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121662/ [03:12] which has a bunch of scripts [03:12] Do any of you know how to change miro settings?

[03:15] yowshi: kwin [03:15] yowshi it's not new, but it's upgraded to compete with compiz [03:15] kwin [03:15] what they said [03:15] cool [03:15] lol [03:16] Huntz: in adept for updates you had checked backports? [03:16] yowshi: kwin [03:16] bishopz: tried kwin ? [03:16] rofl [03:16] Yeah, I just noticed that, it still says KDE 4.1 when I'm starting up [03:16] arg why isnt kwin in adept? [03:16] im checking it out now, as far as requirements [03:17] and such [03:17] * OxDeadC0de recompiles ogre3d from trunk [03:17] -on ubuntu 8.10 [03:17] gnome === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [03:17] so im reading a little.

[03:18] that worked how do i adjust what effcts are used by kwin? [03:18] ah alt f2 and find the desktop effects editor [03:18] yowshi: alt+F3 Window Properties [03:19] It's easy after that [03:19] Wait [03:19] Window Behaviour [03:20] DaSkreech: alt + f3 does nothing [03:21] !aptfix [03:21] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:21] brb sidhes to be done === kira\ is now known as stealth_tty1 [03:21] uhm [03:21] dishes* [03:22] hmm [03:22] i got an error massage sayin "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable" i tried the usual thing ( as above) but it dosen't seem to help. any ideas? [03:22] DaSkreech: there isnt much guidance in how to set this up is there [03:23] oh, fixed it ;p [03:23] grats [03:23] arg, it keeps on shrinking every time I try and put backports on I loose one rep [03:25] quiero ver el escritorio en forma de cubo y no me funciona. También en la pestana efectos visuales de Sistema/Preferencias/Apariencia me aparecen sólo 3 opciones y me dicen que debe haber una más llamada personalizar o algo así, pero no me aparece. Desde ya muchas gracias. [03:25] I am thinking of entering in the old one from edgy and changing it to feisty and starting the 7.04 to 7.10 from the top [03:25] if only I could respond in spanish appropriately. [03:25] !es [03:25] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:25] yowshi: you have kwin running? [03:26] Huntz: i suspect you'd be better off backing up and reinstalling [03:26] no mi han ayudado de nada [03:26] thats just me [03:26] DaSkreech: yes and i sed alt + f2 to run the desktop effects configurer but i cant make much out of it [03:27] lol [03:28] yowshi: press alt+space [03:28] what happens? [03:28] Huntz: Ok where are we? [03:29] [03:29] I ahve just enter the old repo list from edgy [03:30] and I am looking at the perl line thinking I need to input some stuff [03:31] DaSkreech: nothing [03:31] DaSkreech: but i have other effects like the flip screen for desktops when i move my mouse to the midle bottom [03:31] yowshi: When you click the right most corner of a window what happens [03:31] hi [03:32] DaSkreech: nothing theres a cashew there for the top panel [03:32] DaSkreech: sudo perl -p -i.ORIG -e 's/(?:(?:\w+.)?archive|security).(ubuntu.com)/old-releases.$1/' /etc/apt/sources.list [03:32] yowshi: not the screen. The window [03:32] .ORIG? [03:32] does that line read right or do I need to put in some of my own info inplace of something [03:33] that or else I go through and hand edit it like I did last time [03:33] DaSkreech: the maximize button? [03:34] yowshi: You have a maximize button on the far right corner of your window? [03:34] Wait [03:34] left [03:34] :-) [03:34] Huntz: Where did you get .ORIG from ? [03:34] DaSkreech: thats where the close button is [03:34] yowshi: on the left? [03:34] the very first perl command for changing edgy repos to feissty repos [03:34] DaSkreech: top left corner [03:35] Serious? that's where the close button is? [03:35] of this window anyway [03:35] yes thats where it has always been [03:35] Huntz: sudo perl -p -i.feisty -e 's/old-releases.ubuntu.com/archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list [03:35] you wantg me to close a window? [03:35] yowshi: No I'm trying to figure out what window manager you are running [03:36] isnt there a command for that? [03:36] but its not old releases yet [03:36] Huntz: You did the do-release-upgrade ? [03:36] I cut and pasted the first repo list in the site because I know it works [03:36] ok just copy that line [03:36] then have feisty-backports [03:37] well its all the way back to edgy [03:37] then do a sudo apt-get update to see if it likes you [03:37] so I have to convert edgy to feisty [03:37] Huntz: What? How are you on edgy ? [03:37] Huntz: lsb_release -a [03:37] just borrowed the repo list [03:37] hmmm, I wonder when ati can come up with decent drivers for linux (specifically for (k)ubuntu).. 9.1 was a disaster for me, 9.2 thankfully fixed most of the really glaring bugs, and xv video output finally looks seamless, but dpms is crippled :( [03:37] I am still in feisty [03:37] yowshi: not really. ok open a terminal [03:38] DaSkreech: alt + f3 just popped up some kind of menu [03:38] yowshi: with window behaviour ? [03:38] at the bottom ? [03:38] DaSkreech: yes [03:38] Ok you are in kwin choose that then play with your effects [03:38] back to 8.543 fglrx (10/08 release) which has the flickering bug, but it is still more stable [03:38] so I am not gonna update apt until I change it to fiesty [03:38] Huntz: Ok [03:38] or just to gutsy maybe? [03:39] Huntz: No lets do this as slow as possible [03:39] I wonder what happened to 8.55x? must've never made it out of pre-release... [03:39] I just read the frst line of the instructions [03:39] This upgrade did not go as smooth as I expected. [03:39] Heh [03:40] DaSkreech: but i dont see any spot for changing what activates any particular effect [03:41] yowshi: When you click window behaviour you get adialog with Desktop effects? [03:41] yes [03:42] yowshi: you can play with all the effects in the All effects tab [03:45] Huntz: Where are we now? [03:45] do-release-upgrade [03:46] Ok [03:46] It's downloading ? [03:46] No errors? [03:46] Huntz: btw did you upgrade the system first? [03:47] no [03:48] it doesnt say to do that btween 7.04 to 7.10 [03:48] Huntz: Grr do that first [03:48] DaSkreech: no scroll wheel for the alt + tab thing? [03:48] where? [03:48] yowshi: Hmm? [03:48] the EOLupgrade we been using [03:48] Scroll wheel works for me [03:48] my scolly works [03:49] DaSkreech: when you alt tab you have the the flip or cover thing but you cant rotate through the optiosn with the scroll wheel. or i cant [03:50] I know why we didnt need to daskreech, there nothing to upgrade [03:51] ok [03:51] yowshi: Flip doesn't work Cover does [03:51] do-release-upgrade again? [03:51] or go with the one I got? [03:52] bah rolling with step by step [03:52] DaSkreech: yeah i have cover switch active i was wondering if there was a way to get the scroll wheel to scroll through the availablew windows [03:52] how do I make the clock/calendar widget display the time in 12hour format? So simple... [03:52] Its the "Digital Clock" widget [03:53] also where do i change the number of desktops so i can get an actual cube going [03:54] yowshi: I just scroll wheel on the taskbar normally [03:54] Huntz: yeah lets try this step by step [03:54] thats a bit nifty === Bsims is now known as Bsims{fs} [03:54] i need a good minimize effect and there is no burn :( [03:55] ok up to perl line for changing diesssssty notations to gutsy [03:55] oops [03:55] yowshi: Yeahno burn [03:55] Huntz: Hmm? [03:56] yowshi: Right click the desktop pager on the panel and configure desktops [03:56] ok ready to try frontend distupgrade command again, Cross you fingers and toes [03:58] Huntz: This really shouldnt be this hard :-( [03:59] there has got to be something missing [03:59] that is not my fault somewhere [03:59] how do i get it to let me drag windows from one desktop to another? [03:59] Yeah I know [03:59] yowshi: If you have edge detection just drag to the edge of the screen [04:00] wheres edge direction?

[04:00] DaSkreech: draging it to the edge doesnt work it just stop where the cursor stops [04:00] here Is the distupgrade command http://paste.ubuntu.com/121673/ [04:02] yowshi: Advanced -> active Window borders [04:03] brb smoke break [04:03] thanks === brenda is now known as Granny [04:04] grrr cant drag a window from te 1st desktop to the third ah well [04:05] yowshi: can you use the application icon in the top left corner of the window decoration? [04:06] yowshi: that menu should have "To Desktop" options in it [04:06] yowshi: huh? [04:07] DaSkreech: i tried to drag a window around the "cube" but it just kept bouncing between 2 deskotps [04:07] Huntz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121674/ === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:07] and russlar while that may get the job domne it isnt the same thing. for one dragging it there is way cooler [04:08] Here's another question, kubuntu x86 or 64 bit? I know in windows land, x86 is more mainstream and better for compatibility but is that the same for kubuntu (linux in general)? [04:08] yowshi: hmm how do you have your desktops setup ? [04:09] Peeeeeet: used to be true, but flash now works natively in x64 [04:09] DaSkreech: what do you mean? [04:09] try 64 if you don't mind wasting a lot of time. [04:09] but if you want it to work without a hitch go with 32bit [04:09] yowshi: How many rows are they in ? [04:11] i dont know for starters the top desk bar mysteriously got blanked out and now nothing will add to it afyter i moved it to one of the side edges trying to find this menu thing you were tallking about way back [04:11] DaSkreech: where did you dig that up [04:11] i was hoping it would settle when i rebooted kdm later [04:11] Huntz: Shhhh the magic man does magic [04:11] Peeeeeet if you don't have more then 4 GB of RAM there is no need to run 64bit [04:12] DaSkreech: theyare now in one row [04:12] lol, so you want me to past that into sources? [04:12] yowshi: ok so just drag from left to right [04:12] Huntz: use that as your sources [04:13] did it happen to say anything about a patch file [04:13] senility set in - was capable in MIRC - this is first time managed to arrive here [04:13] DaSkreech: that still just bounces between 2 desktops [04:14] yowshi: ok drag all the way to the bottom of the screen [04:14] Huntz: The sources.list? [04:15] that works [04:15] no in paage where you got that [04:15] yowshi: Good [04:15] Huntz: I found someone with a feisty machine and got that from them [04:16] how do i connect to konversation using proxy server or do i need quassel for that [04:17] ? [04:17] khalidmian: depends on the kind of proxy you want [04:18] http [04:18] http is a protocol on its own, as is irc [04:18] so... no, you can't i think [04:19] !irc [04:19] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [04:19] well, that didn't help [04:19] !irc proxy [04:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc proxy [04:19] !proxy [04:19] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse.

Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [04:20] !proxies [04:20] "Proxies" are services acting as intermediate agents in various sorts of Internet connections. Examples are TOR, !apt-proxy, and HTTP proxies (such as "squid"). It is possible to install and use Ubuntu via some proxy connections: see FIXME [04:20] khalidmian: what do you need to do? [04:20] eh ....hide my ip for eg [04:21] erf...

[04:29] DaSkreech: in favor of the default manager [04:29] kwin is the default manager [04:29] kwin is the default manager [04:29] if you want to turn off the effects, you can do that in system settings [04:29] didnt i have to kind of turn it on to get any effects with kwin --replace?

[06:40] sorset: not sure what to say there. The reason I asked that was I had the same issue once, but changing the ntp server fixed it for me [06:40] When I change my resolution all of the fonts have become huge. [06:41] travis_: if it is a KDE issue I would first try asking in #KDE [06:41] ok, thank you gothpaw.

[07:35] well i use kubuntu, cca at the 30% of the bootscreen it switches into tty prompt and stays there until launching of kdm [07:36] and 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 fixed [07:37] hmm, ive never come across that. did you install something on the third party/unsupported repos? [07:38] yes i did [07:38] i haven't had very good luck when doing that...probably depends on what it is though [07:38] StR|Sangreal: maybe "/var/log/messages" gives some more info ..... [07:39] but i think that this error ocurred after a system crash not an installation of restricted sw [07:40] "some kernel check or so" is not really helpful in determine what might be wrong [07:40] see what the log says, might give you enough info to see what caused it [07:40] anyone know anything about syncing the a windows mobile pda? [07:43] or a "not fully set in Hal" error [07:43] StR|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 wrong [07:46] Slartibartfast ok i will pastebin the log... i said i dont know how to treat such problems, i use linux just for usual work [07:47] StR|Sangreal: ok ... not sure if i can be of help, but will take a look [07:47] hi, i just installed 8.10 and i'm having some video problems. i have an agp nvidia 5200 card and at first i did not have resolutions above 800x600 available so i installed the restricted drivers, now i only have 640x480 and 320x240 as available [07:50] i was using ubuntu, installed 8.04 and updated to 8.10 and didn't have problems with either of those [07:54] is it possible to use wget for --load-cookies file along with --http-user=user --http-password=pass , and have it login to two places (one with the cookie) and the other site with the user:pass ?

[10:50] i dont have kde4 atm but last time i was in 4.2 it was under apearance when you right click on the peanut in top right [10:51] matt : Do you mean it still looks like gnome [10:51] yes, thats what i mean. sorry if i wasnt clear, been up for awhile === shyke2a is now known as shryke2a [10:51] did you install the kubuntu-desktop package? [10:51] or just straight kde [10:52] Another question (may sound like a stupid one) did you switch your session at login to kde? [10:53] sudo apt-get install kde-nightly, whichever that installs. still really new at this, sorry for the lack of info. when i installed that package i checked the box that made kde default at startup then rebooted [10:54] you still need to select kde at the login screen (from the session menu) [10:55] really, bc the kde login screen came up and it booted into kubuntu instead of ubuntu. did i really just miss an option box at login? [10:55] I'd install the kubuntu-desktop package and then make sure you have kde selected at login [10:56] how do i install desktop package? [10:56] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [10:57] thanks for the help sorteal [10:57] np [10:57] wait what ubuntu version [10:57] 8.10?

Is there a known fix? [11:19] 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? [11:23] kalum__: it could be a lot of things [11:23] hmm..no response to my question about skiiping full screen movie playback under kubuntu :-( [11:23] Aha.....i spoke too soon :-) [11:24] kalum__: does it only happens full screen ??

[16:27] again, this is iirc === flavio is now known as HUALLA [16:28] spawn57: I think so... but intel/amd cross license so much [16:28] ahh [16:28] they're pretty much linked at the hip [16:28] amd doesn't seem to be doing so good lately though [16:28] my new server will be here today [16:29] XZ [16:29] eh, it's always in cycles [16:29] AUUUUUUUUUUUUU [16:30] brad_: this link might interest you then http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/08/xeon_amd64_fix/ [16:30] astromme: i thought centrino was "whatever intel's current cpu line is + whatever intel's current chipset is + whatever intel's current wireless is" [16:30] yes [16:30] with 16 GB RAM you really need to have a 64bit system [16:30] well, sort of [16:30] for their moble platform [16:30] and it's versioned [16:31] hi guys, in need of an mp3 and mp4 renamer, a software able to rename LOTS of files (tags included) according to certain parameters, at the same time, could u suggest some? the ones that ive found dont work for mp4 and dont have many parameters to choose among, plus it seems they dont work well with LOTS of files, any suggestions? thanks [16:35] Bonjour [16:35] new dolphin on kde 4.2 is so much slower than in 4.1.4, is it possible to install the older dolphin in kde 4.2?? [16:36] I am resizing a partition on a 500 gb drive (kubuntu 8.10- 64 bit). It is taking a VERY long time-- saying 0% finished for the last hour. Is that normal? [16:37] 1/3 of the partition has Vista on it, so I do not want to reformat [16:39] zero, Isn't mp3tag good for that? === dox is now known as Guest18958 === Guest18958 is now known as bishopz [16:41] -yawns- [16:41] who knows how to uninstall a program (america online) out of wine [16:43] bishopz: do you have a wine submenu in Kmenu? or kickoff? [16:44] actually im on ubuntu right now [16:44] but yea theres a submenu [16:45] bishopz: is there "uninstall wine software" in there? [16:45] the thing is, i go to uninstal applications in wine, andd it attempts to look for aol, but i guess because its a virtual [16:45] it wont find it [16:45] yea .. it brings up the prompt box "uninstal ..." [16:45] i click aol, it says searching for versions [16:45] and than crashes and i have to force quit it [16:46] bishopz: have you tried "uninstaller" ? [16:46] ... [16:46] i'm left wondering why install aol in wine to begin with [16:46] s/in wine// [16:46] maco: too late now :) [16:47] bishopz: if wine doesn't uninstall it, you can remove the installed files from ~/.wine/drive_c (or wherever you've set wine to install things if you changed defaults) [16:48] because i couldnt find an aol to run on linux [16:48] lol [16:48] mefisto__: thank you [16:49] bishopz: the s/in wine// was meant to imply "or rather, why install aol at all?" [16:50] are they still an ISP? [16:50] maco: boredom [16:50] yea they are lol [16:50] theyre now free [16:50] ;x [16:51] because nobody would pay for their dialup that's half the speed of other dialup and requires software that's harder to remove than your average virus?

Welcome to #kubuntu! [17:05] i need translate Konversation, i have file .po of the language, what i did? [17:09] Ok i removed the folders manually completely uninstalled wine, and wine still shows under applications? wwith AOL [17:10] did you use adept/apt-get to uninstall wine? === mike is now known as Guest73030 [17:10] no just did it from repos [17:11] oh... you downloaded the package file manually? [17:12] mhm [17:12] if you did that, you need to use dpkg -r to uninstall it [17:12] let me try hang on [17:12] if i installed a program from a .deb file how do i remove it? [17:12] in the future it's best to use adept/apt-get :) [17:12] me: dpkg -r packagename === me is now known as Guest42987 [17:12] e.g. dpkg -r wine [17:12] well, "sudo dpkg -r wine" to be precise [17:13] You mean to say that the applications you Installed with WINE are sjhowing up in the users menus? [17:13] any of you fellas use MATLAB with simulink regularly in X11? [17:14] warning: ignoring request to remove wine, only the config [17:14] files of which are on the system. Use --purge to remove them too. [17:14] ahh.. thank you [17:14] wow the .deb package system is by far the best.. had i installed an rpm i would have been stuck forver [17:15] i am new to ubuntu came from opensuse and mandriva.. so far it has been wonderful thanks to all your help! [17:16] if i download a program that is in a tarball how do i turn it into a .deb so that i can install it [17:16] You would need to compile it and do a bit of work. [17:17] Guest42987, its likely you must compile it yes [17:17] You dont have to turn it into a deb.. but it may be a good idea [17:17] Guest42987: that's difficult. Is the program not available via Adept/apt-get? [17:17] those are the preferred methods for installing things [17:18] well it is vuze.. and there is a really old version of it in apt-get.. and the updater is broken [17:18] i want to use the newest version and apt only has like 3 in there [17:18] Guest42987: what version do you want? [17:18] i think 4.1 is out now? [17:18] there's one on getdeb: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Vuze [17:18] ^^ 4.0 [17:19] ok did dpkg, it still leaves a folder in my applications [17:20] and aol is still showing even tho the folders have been removed and deleted [17:20] bishopz: have you tried logging out & back in again? [17:20] brb [17:20] that forces a menu refresh, I think === Ilu-babe is now known as Ilu === Ilu is now known as Ilu- [17:20] how do i download form that site? [17:20] must i sign up? [17:21] hi guys i'm getting regular firefox crashes on Intrepid with kde 4.2, anyone else finding this? [17:21] Guest42987: just click on the 4.0 link next to your version of Ubuntu [17:21] then click on the download link [17:22] jals: with me it crashes only when I close it so not very annoying [17:22] I recall a lot of people in here the otehr day saying they MUCH perfered the older vuze,. or whatever it was called befor it became vuze :) [17:22] PhilippeP, for me when it does happen i seem to be scrolling with the mouse wheel at the time [17:22] dr_Willis: Azureus [17:22] haha nm i got it.. thanks.. [17:23] it used to be a bittorrent client, now it's an all-singing all-dancing media client that brings your PC to its knees [17:23] the older version doesn;t support as many transfer protocols such as freenet === dox is now known as Guest31585 === Guest31585 is now known as bishopz [17:24] nope still a folder there [17:25] hmm what was that site you just sent me to? and is it a pretty safe site as far as getting software [17:26] i have been looking for some stuff that isnt availabel through apt-get [17:27] http://www.getdeb.net/ [17:30] cool thanks once again for the help guys ubuntu community support rocks! [17:33] another problem i'm having is every rar file i download from firefox is corrupt [17:33] i think firefox in general is having issues [17:33] how can i do a completely fresh install, remove firefox and the .mozilla directory? [17:36] use the package manager to remove firefox.. and delete the users .mozilla directory [17:36] but i find it hard to belive thats the problem [17:36] try a different browser like opera perhaps? [17:36] yeah i guess i should test that first [17:36] Where are you saving the rar files to? [17:36] desktop [17:36] I also recall some odd rar files i found once that i had to use winrar to exctract [17:37] it's been about 5 in a row [17:37] try wget [17:37] unrar-free cannot handle multi-part rar files or 3.0 format files.

[18:33] it could be "sdb" or something [18:33] Wargasm: please see the link I added to my request [18:34] i believe its adb1 [18:34] sdb1* [18:34] Wargasm: yes I know, in this case the drive is sdd1 [18:34] ^ [18:34] :D [18:34] i are shmart [18:34] bishopz: sdb1 is another drive.... sdc1 is also another drive, the one in question is sdd1 [18:34] gothpaw: does the icon show on your desk top when u plug it in [18:35] yes im aware [18:35] bishopz: I don't use those icons, so I couldn't tell you [18:35] ok, places [18:35] did you try /mnt/sdd1 instead of "/home/gothpaw/extras2" [18:35] slcr, thankyou, that helped a bunch [18:35] ^ [18:36] folks, why is there absolutely no protection for root account?? [18:36] what do you mean Andry_Sleeps ?? [18:36] No protection? [18:36] Protection? [18:36] lol [18:36] The root account is disabled by default... [18:36] Wargasm: the path of mounting should be irrelevant, considering all other drives are mounting properly (outside of /mnt/ ) ... ie, my other USB Drive is sdc1 and is mounted to /home/gothpaw/Extras .... but yes I have tried other mounting locations [18:36] Well, when starting the computer [18:36] jals: what theme are you using for gtk apps?

[18:37] AndySpain, same as almost all distros, you can pass protrect grub if you want [18:37] i was using GTK style but i've switched it to Raleigh now at the suggestion of someone on that link [18:38] Wargasm: just for the sake of trying your help.... no I get the same error when trying to mount it to /mnt/sdd1 === shadeslayer is now known as goback [18:38] ok, thanks gothpaw [18:39] the error doesn't pertain to a mounting point though, it is relevant to the filesystem [18:39] Pici, dosco:: I would prefer having a pw there. I don't wanna remove it from grub, for sometimes i already needed it.

[18:48] SlimeyPete why is root disabled? isn't sudo the same as being root - i mean having the same privileges? [18:49] !root [18:49] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:49] hah [18:49] thx, mefisto__ [18:49] so is there a command I need to install ndiswrapper? or is it hella complex?

[21:04] tabla: 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 that [21:04] drostie i've already seen that page, but i have some question about nvidia drivers [21:04] tabla: dont update to it because it's a development release and you're a beginner. this is just for testing purposes [21:05] i'm using drivers by ubuntu repos, but when i start NWN it says that i havn't 3d acceleration [21:05] tabla: if it works in there, its possible to install the parts you need. if it doesn't then :( [21:05] maco so you mean i have run this live cd as new ubuntu after reboot right but just as testing right? [21:06] mossgix: well, then you should have asked about getting nvidia drivers working ^_^;; -- umm, nvidia is still on proprietary drivers, but some people have reported problems with them. I'm on a laptop, so I don't know much more. sorry. [21:06] tabla: yes, just as testing [21:06] k [21:06] i try that one [21:06] thnks for help [21:07] yep... i'm trying to use only free software but man, gaming is so fucking tight with winz === _mofux is now known as mofux|bbl [21:07] mossgix: control your language please [21:07] loads of my binaries are segfaulting, i think its due to prelink, how can i comfirm/check this [21:07] Rioting_pacifist: what makes you think it's pre-linking ? [21:08] ikonia: well last night i updated prelink and since then many of my programs spit out seg faults [21:08] Rioting_pacifist: how did you update prelinking ? [21:09] Rioting_pacifist: pre-linking is something that happens, not a package [21:09] ikonia: first prelink -a then prelink -au to undo, no its definatly a package [21:10] Rioting_pacifist: I meant as a task [21:10] Rioting_pacifist: why did you re-do prelinking ? [21:10] Riddell: ping [21:10] ikonia: because debsums was complaining about it alot [21:11] Riddell: qtjambi in my ppa. Just testing it out, and noticed that the demos dont launch if libqtjambi-dev is not installed. It's looking for the libqtjambi.so and fails if not present. [21:11] e.g "/usr/sbin/prelink.bin: /usr/lib/libtasn1.so.3.0.12: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking" === root is now known as Guest81456 [21:13] Rioting_pacifist: why would pre-linking change a package dependency [21:13] Riddell: I was wondering if adding a dep on -dev to the demos was appropriate, or should the .so's move around? If I add a dep, then this forces qt4-x11-dev and qt designer to be also installed [21:14] Please Help.. I'm having issues mounting a 250GB USB drive. See here for details --> http://rafb.net/p/ydmBYw60.html [21:14] wrng chan... oops [21:15] ikonia: i figured it meant since the last time id prelinked the package had been updated, so i ran prelink again, im just running debsums now then ill try sudo prelink -u -a and see if that helps [21:15] Rioting_pacifist: ahhh [21:15] Rioting_pacifist: that's what it sounds like to me, too.

What does that tell you, if anything?

I know that my 80GB IPOD is vfat and works okay, so the problem probably isn't drive size on vfat drives. Is there a bunch of data on this drive? [21:28] still tryin to get ndiswrapper on 6.06 XD [21:29] any ideas anyone? [21:29] ("a bunch" meaning "near or more than 50% of the drive space," I suppose, if we're going to be technical.)

[21:32] im nub [21:34] drostie: a bunch as in about 180GB of data needs to be saved [21:34] drostie: so I guess that is about 85% of the drive, roughly (it's a 250GB External USB Drive) [21:35] forgive my math if 85% is wrong.... my math is not so good === super-admin_ is now known as Algerois [21:36] Google says 180 / 250 = 72% ^_^ [21:36] how do i get the panel to let me put the windows in the order i wnt instead of alphabetically?

[21:53] internet* [21:53] lol [21:53] yes, you do [21:53] Silentstri: yeah.... [21:53] Silentstri: where were you intending to install from...? [21:53] gothpaw: 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). [21:54] So 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] drostie: well, that's gonna be extremely hard to do [21:54] from my... uh.... hardrive? [21:54] drostie: I don't have any windows machines [21:55] Silentstri: apt-get works via internet [21:55] >< [21:55] so, how do i install ndiswrapper if I dont have internet? like, I have ndiswrapper in my home fil [21:55] Silentstri: you're gonna have to do it manually in which case I suggest those links I posted to you before [21:56] gothpaw: 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] ok, ty [21:56] drostie: no-one I know runs Windows..... [21:56] How were you accessing this drive beforehand? [21:57] Silentstri: how are you connected now? why don't you have internet access? [21:57] drostie: from one of my older (now gone) Kubuntu pc's [21:57] i have 2 laptops ._. [21:57] one has windows [21:57] Silentstri: do you have ndiswrapper and its dependencies? if so, put them all in one directory, cd there and do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" [21:58] Silentstri: apt-get is the net-based dependency-resolving installer [21:58] gothpaw: 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] im trying to install on linux [21:58] drostie: well in the past yes.... but right now it can't as it can't seem to mount it [21:59] gothpaw: and just to make sure: the drive hasn't been dropped brutally down a flight of stairs or anything like that? [21:59] or is CD on kubutu too and I just havent figured it out ._. [21:59] drostie: not "yet", lol .... [22:00] gothpaw: does your /etc/fstab have entries for another drive as /dev/sdd1 that might be getting in the way? [22:00] drostie: nope... I wish it was that easy t hough [22:00] though*** [22:01] yeah, as do I. ^_^;; [22:01] cause I have ndiswrapper + dependencies in one directory on my linux laptop, all in my home folder, but I cant use the sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [22:01] cause you said apt-get was internet-based right? [22:01] Silentstri: see the message maco sent you on how to do it manually [22:01] ok ty [22:02] Silentstri: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper [22:02] Silentstri: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndiswrapper-common [22:02] Please Help.. I'm having issues mounting a 250GB USB drive. See here for details --> http://rafb.net/p/ydmBYw60.html [22:03] put them all in one directory, cd there and do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb {this prompts questions from me, what does cd mean? like, cd..} [22:03] o wait [22:03] nvm [22:03] i figured it out [22:03] xD [22:03] :) === root is now known as Guest34772 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:06] gothpaw: does the mount call give you anything useful when you [sudo mount -v /dev/sdd1] ...? [22:08] drostie: I'd have to say I don't know as I am unsure of the -v option and what it does [22:08] gothpaw: [man mount] to find out that the -v option stands for "verbose" ^_^ [22:09] Sometimes in various applications more v's are more verbose. for example, [aptitude moo], [aptitude -v moo], [aptitude -vv moo] [22:10] In the comman sudo dpkg -i *.deb what do I replace * with? [22:10] drostie: ok, the sudo mount -v /dev/sdd1 gives me the very same error as when I try to mount the drive normally [22:11] Silentstri: bash (the command line shell) automatically fills in [*.deb] with all of the files in the current directory that end with ".deb". [22:12] Silentstri: see, for example, [ls -l *.deb] to list permissions for only those files that end with the .deb extension. [22:12] gothpaw: but doesn't tell you anything new? :-( [22:12] so I need to find the file thats .deb.... ty [22:13] good evening [22:13] gothpaw: you could try smartctl -a /dev/sdd1 to check for hardware problems [22:13] drostie: --> http://rafb.net/p/S7lD1Y38.html [22:14] mefisto__: hang on, I have to install smartmontools first [22:17] doesn't fat32 have a partition size limit? how is it 250GB ? [22:17] gothpaw: 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.) [22:18] mefisto__: 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). [22:19] s/about/above about/ [22:19] it is in fstab as follows --> /dev/sdd1 /home/gothpaw/Extras2 vfat defaults,user 0 0 [22:19] drostie: it worked with linux vfat? [22:19] mefisto__: yep. [22:20] gothpaw: delete that line. Maybe a "defaults" or "user" option isn't supported by vfat? I dunno. [22:20] Or comment it out by prefixing it with a hash character (#). [22:20] I have a question regarding 8.10, specifically graphics corruption on nvidia quadro fx cards [22:21] drostie: those options are supported, I use them on other drives too that are Fat32 [22:21] Is anybody familiar with this? [22:22] gothpaw: what about just sudo mount /dev/sdd1 ? [22:23] mefisto__: says I have to specify the filesystem when I try to mount it any other way except -t vfat [22:24] gothpaw: 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] have a problem... sudo apt-get update shows me some "Could not resolve" problems.. [22:24] but normal internet connection works. [22:25] a dig to security.ubuntu.com will work [22:26] i have that only in one machine in my network... a new one.. [22:26] noaXess: could you paste the [sudo apt-get update] output into http://paste.ubuntu.com (or similar) and then send the url of the pasted content to us? [22:27] drostie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122074/ [22:27] drostie: without the fstab entry I get this --> mount: can't find /dev/sdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [22:27] on kubuntu 8.10 (new installation) on a dell precision laptop with a nvidia quadro fx 3500 graphics card every once in a while the display becomes completely corrupted. [22:28] this does not happen under windows xp, nor 8.04, so its not a hardware isssue I believe [22:28] noaXess: and you can still [ping ch.archive.ubuntu.com] ok with this computer? [22:28] drostie: no.. no ping.. [22:29] gothpaw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/27689 [22:29] but dig ch.archive.ubuntu.com will get me correct results [22:29] i suspect either the x-server or the nvidia graphics driver is to blame, but reinstalling did not seem to help [22:29] has anyone heard of this type of problem before?

You want to first [sudo mkdir /media/test] and then [sudo mount -v /dev/sdd1 /media/test], specifying both the source and the destination. [22:32] If you don't specify the destination, then it looks in /etc/fstab to find that out. === Hammer is now known as Hammer_42b [22:33] hello anybody?

If you configure your connection to use OpenDNS, does the problem still happen? [22:35] my display will become completely corruped every once in a while [22:35] only a reboot helps [22:35] restarting X is not enough [22:36] however, this does not happen with win xp pro nor 8.04, so I don't think its a hardware issue [22:36] drostie: i have a internal DNS that works an all other 10 machines.. only on this one it won't.. and if i setup /etc/resolv.conf to the dns of my provider, same problem [22:36] is suspect the nvidia driver or the x-server itself [22:36] hmm [22:36] gothpaw: here's more reading: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/251781 [22:36] have you modified the xorg.conf file?

[22:37] noaXess: 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. [22:38] do you have enough ram and cpu? since plasma consumes much more resources [22:38] drostie: it won't work with an external DNS.. same problem as with internal..

[22:39] there is enough diskspace [22:39] you mean you have translated .04 to .10 and of course it failed, and now you have some problems with kde? [22:40] also, as long as its running (for hours on end sometimes) everything seemes fine [22:40] drostie: http://rafb.net/p/V06LAz96.html [22:40] i wouldnt recommend to use distro-upgrade... it doesnt work, especially if done with x running [22:40] strsangreal: no. after the failed upgrade, i reformatted and installed fresh from cd === eric is now known as Guest61427 [22:40] aha [22:41] gothpaw: if you do " sudo tail -f /var/log/messages " and then plug in the usb, do messages appear to recognise the disk? [22:41] its very weird [22:41] if it is totally fresh, i would recommend to reinstall once again [22:41] really [22:42] I had this problem with 7.10 and compiz installed, but by the time 8.04 rolled around everything was stable [22:42] strsangreal: how would another fresh install help? [22:42] it happened to me that i got network problems after a totally intact install [22:42] and another reinstall didnt cause the error [22:43] strsangreal: so what caused that problem? corrupt cd? [22:43] drostie: i got it.. [22:43] if the problem is in kde, go to tty and install ubuntu-desktop and try if it is odd too [22:43] /etc/nsswitch.conf [22:43] hello [22:43] hmm a good point to start is to autohash the cd if it is ok [22:44] but my case was probably a sudden temporary disconect of some HW media since the install ran ok but the result was corrupted [22:45] noaXess: :D [22:45] strsangreal: hmm [22:45] strsangreal: if i really have to reinstall i will probably wait till 9.04 comes around [22:45] drostie: i configured today a samba with domain controller enabled and follow the howto on samba.org .. and one of them was configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf to hosts: files wins [22:46] and then no DNS works ;) [22:46] QUESTION: pls what do i need to integrate GoogleGadgets to plasma? [22:46] Hammer_42b > i will wait till Karmic :) [22:46] strsangreal: no idea :) [22:47] strsangreal: still this is pretty annoying...also that means that i will not be able to use kubuntu as my primary system for a least another 6 months [22:48] you may reinstall to hardy heron [22:48] strsangreal: though 8.04 with kde3 was stable on my machine and worked great [22:49] i understand you i thought the same since i use radeon mobility X1450, an unsupported notebook vga [22:49] and fortunately 2 weeks ago a semicompatible driver appeared so i could run plasma again [22:49] mefisto__: please see here for 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' --> http://rafb.net/p/sj5lwh22.html [22:50] gothpaw: 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] strsangreal: neither the new xerver nor kde4 should have been included in 8.10 [22:51] strsangreal: 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 common [22:52] strsangreal: i think dell only sells it in its precision series, which is not mainstream [22:52] strsangreal: anyway, thanks for your help [22:53] bye [22:53] gothpaw: does it mount in windows? [22:53] i bought of first asus books with centrino duo... then they decided that the card isnt suitable [22:53] mefisto__: gothpaw has no windows. no windows of judgment. no windows at all. [22:53] mefisto__: don't have a windows machine, and I don't know anyone whom actually uses windows [22:54] gothpaw: public library? internet cafe? [22:54] gothpaw: that /var/log/messages section is interesting though; I'd be curious to find out what's trying to access sector 488407970. [22:54] gothpaw: maybe try booting livecd and see if it mounts [22:55] mefisto__: where I live, they don't allow you to plug in "foreign" hardware (that's what they call it anyways) === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:57] mefisto__: that I could try, I do have a LiveDVD of 8.10 and 7.10 [22:57] gothpaw: I'm wondering if you could somehow shrink the partition just a little, maybe it would mount [22:58] gothpaw: that might be risky for data though, of course [22:59] mefisto__: then I can't do it.... as the data on here is vital data [22:59] and I have no clue how well gparted resizes vfat. But you might be able to get more info by using vfat on a USB key with nothing important on it. [23:00] mefisto__: I'm gonna try the LiveDVD's and see what I get there, I will return as it's this system I am using drostie [23:00] be back shortly [23:02] rogers.com ... gothpaw is apparently canadian. [23:02] I wasn't aware that Windows was so hard to find in canada ^_^ [23:02] how much do you want to bet the drive is broken? [23:03] i'll put down $9001 internet dollars [23:03] Wargasm: I'd bet against the drive being broken, I think. It's seriously messed up in its partition table, but the logs suggest that the kernel is getting *something* and is trying to work with it. [23:04] well, i agree with that. [23:04] but still, "broken" [23:04] corrupted [23:05] quick reformat it and run data recovery program on it [23:05] vote for improving kubuntu browser: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18204/ === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir [23:06] drostie: I think you're right about partition tables. probably got disconnected during a write or something [23:07] yep [23:07] because he's been trying to fix it for several hours now [23:07] and nothing has helped [23:07] drostie: sudo fdisk -s /dev/sdd1 would be interesting to see if the size reported is what /var/log/messages reported === rick_ is now known as Uby [23:11] Hi! Does anyone here know a good (preferably free and kubuntu compatible) program that lets you build graphs with weighted edges using a GUI? I tried JGraph, but it doesn't seem to allow weighing the edges. [23:13] mefisto__: his fdisk -l output was available here: http://rafb.net/p/ydmBYw60.html [23:15] mefisto__: there's a really interesting claim in his /var/log/messages though: "Feb 23 15:47:44 ShadowWalker kernel: [247297.580251] sdd: p1 exceeds device capacit" [23:16] hi, after upgrade to 4.2 my laptop ignores the "do nothing on lid close" setting in power management. What could it be? This is ubuntu 8.10 kde 4.2 from intrepid-backports [23:16] drostie: and that series of "attempt to access beyond end of device" [23:18] mefisto__: 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. [23:19] mefisto__: 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. [23:22] amgarchIn9: is ths setting turned off for all of the available profiles, or just for the first one? [23:24] mefisto__: sadly I got the exact same thing when trying to use a LiveDVD (both 7.10 && 8.10) === kira\ is now known as stealth-tty1 [23:25] hi all :) [23:25] gothpaw: it would be really interesting to see [sudo xxd -l 512 /dev/sdd], which will print out, in hex, the master boot record of your drive. ^_^ [23:25] drostie: oh, they seem to not differentiate any more. There is a section for "Mains powered", a section for "Battary powered", and a separate seciton for "When Laptop Lid Closed" === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:26] drostie: well I could pastebin it if you desire [23:26] i can formule a question? [23:26] amgarchIn9: I'm also running KDE 4.2, and it's still an option for me. I dunno. YMMV. [23:27] gothpaw: that'd be the idea ^_^ [23:27] !question | sant [23:27] sant: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:27] anyone have webcam messenger plus on ubuntu 8.10 corrected configured? [23:27] soz for my english :D [23:28] can't help with that ^_^ === dox is now known as Guest57040 [23:29] drostie: --> http://rafb.net/p/AeBR7r14.html [23:29] Can anybody help me please? I can't find the menu from which I could choose to hide icons in kubuntu 8.10 tray. === Guest57040 is now known as dox_ === dox_ is now known as bishopz [23:31] !ot [23:31] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [23:31] drostie: are we talking about the same config? Here is the window: http://imagebin.ca/view/hcKE5L.html [23:31] Anyone got any decent eyecandy type mods for ubuntu? [23:32] DaddyLonglegs: that would be a #KDE issue, try there [23:33] !ot [23:34] !ot [23:34] wtf [23:34] gothpaw: In OpenSUSE I can right click on tray and hide icons, but in kubuntu 8.10 I can't find it. I think it's not a KDE issue. [23:34] #kubuntu [23:34] DaddyLonglegs: right-click system tray (it's a bit tricky to do - try the very top few pixels above the icons) and system tray settings [23:35] !ot [23:35] !info KDE [23:35] Package KDE does not exist in intrepid [23:35] ;/ [23:35] !ot [23:35] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [23:35] DaddyLonglegs: do you have kde 4.2 ? [23:36] mefisto__: I think it is 4.1, but I'm not sure. [23:36] DaddyLonglegs: konqueror help menu, about kde [23:37] mefisto__: What I get is just "panel settings". No way can I get "tray settings" :( [23:37] DaddyLonglegs: not sure if it works in 4.1, but it does in 4.2 here [23:37] Aw. It says 4.1.4 [23:38] DaddyLonglegs: right-click just above the kmix speaker icon is easiest for me [23:38] DaddyLonglegs: as high up as you can without leaving the panel [23:39] amgarchIn9: try K > System Settings > Advanced > Power Management [23:39] mefisto__: I tried everywhere but it's just giving me "panel settings" [23:40] mefisto__: Isn't there any file which I can edit in order to set them to be hidden, or any commands which launch the same window from konsole? [23:41] DaddyLonglegs: seems like it's a 4.2 thing: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/ (see under heading "Desktop Improves User Experience") [23:42] mefisto__: (and gothpaw:) the 488397168 in the /var/log/messages is 1D 1C 59 70, the MBR says that /dev/sdd1 has length 1D 1C 82 28 [23:42] Can i ask a stupid question, really fast? [23:42] mefisto__: Aw! Thanks man! [23:42] the rest of the MBR looks well-formed. [23:42] When i download a theme, i dont unzip it i just move it into home/themes right? [23:43] drostie: do you have powerdevil installed? [23:43] mefisto__: If I want to upgrade to 4.2, should I do it manually? Isn't it gonna ruin anything? [23:44] drostie: unfortunately I have no idea what that means, sorry [23:44] DaddyLonglegs: with intrepid-backports it is enough to "aptitude full-upgrade" [23:44] amgarchIn9: possibly. [23:44] DaddyLonglegs: probably won't ruin anything, but might not be "graceful". lots of people get errors when packages try to overwrite existing files [23:45] ok cool thanks for the help [23:45] DaddyLonglegs: the solution is to remove the old package, install the new one, then continue the upgrade [23:46] drostie: thanks! your way it does work [23:47] Seems a bit risky. I prefer to do that after my project deadline :-) [23:49] 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 way [23:51] mefisto__: Awesome. Thanks for help :-) [23:51] DaddyLonglegs: http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 [23:56] gothpaw: it means that your Master Boot Record is reporting that /dev/sdd1 is longer than the kernel is comfortable with in /var/log/messages. [23:56] hi [23:56] !hi|fabio_ [23:56] fabio_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [23:57] drostie: 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] drostie: so you mean editing the length to be 1D 1C 59 70 would make it consistent and therefore mountable? [23:57] ao que parece não ha muitos brasileiros aqui [23:57] !br [23:57] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:58] drostie and gothpaw: I've never used it, but there [23:58] since the last update my kde 4.2 apps (kubuntu pakages), are trying to access libs from my kde svn build. and then fail to open [23:58] drostie and gothpaw: I've never used it, but there's a util called testdisk that might be able to fix it. drostie? [23:58] can anyone help [23:58] need toknow if there is a client in kubuntu which allows voice chat [23:59] thank you [23:59] like msn messeger [23:59] or yahoo messenger
